Was Pocahontas a brave young women who defied her father to save the life of Chief John Smith? Or is the story simply a myth, given new credence by Disney, that strengthens our simplistic perception of good Indians and bad Indians? Discover both the fable and the fact in these Pocahontas sites.
Four Faces of Pocahontas4 stars
The highlights of this official Henrico County, Virginia page are the four Pocahontas portraits painted between 1850 and 1994. "Four hundred years ago she [Pocahontas] lived part of her life in what is present-day Henrico County. Pocahontas forever influenced the history of the County, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and America. It is her image that graces the Henrico seal and flag." The page continues with a short biography.
Pocahontas4 stars
"Pocahontas was 'the most deare and wel-beloved' daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of the Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia. She was born around 1595 to one of Powhatan's many wives. They named her Matoaka, though she is better known as Pocahontas, which means 'Little Wanton,' a playful, frolicsome little girl. Pocahontas probably saw white men for the first time in May 1607 when Englishmen landed at Jamestown." The legendary first meeting of Pocahontas and John Smith is based on a tale romanticized (if not entirely invented) by Smith.
Pocahontas Myth5 stars
The Powhatan Indian Nation responds to the Disney version of the Pocahontas story by explaining how the animated movie differs from historical fact. In 1607, when legend claims that Pocahontas saved Captain John Smith from death at her father's hand, she would have been about eleven years old. In an account written by Smith in 1608, shortly after his winter with the Powhatan people, he never mentions the incident. It first appears in a letter written seventeen years later, after Pocahontas' death and her considerable fame resulting from her English travels.
The Real Pocahontas5 stars
In 1614, Pocahontas was kidnaped by the colonists, with the intention of trading her for concessions from Powhatan. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity, married colonist John Rolfe and was baptized Rebecca. This marriage lead to several years of peace between the Jamestown colonists and Powhatan's tribes. In 1616, John and Rebecca Rolfe sailed to England to help raise funds for the struggling Virginia colony. "Lady Rebecca" toured England as a visiting princess. At just twenty-one, Rebecca died of small pox, an old world disease. She is buried in Gravesend, England. This page was written by one of her proud descendants.

|Tuesday, 15 February 2011 00:00
Well…..the books have arrived, all printed on 100% recycled paper and looking good. Doing the last minute changes on organising for Saturday, shopping for the food (all vegan of course), getting the music organised, posters up to let the word out.

Will be available for order from this website from Saturday (19th Feb) or as ebook, all proceeds to Our Place on Earth's work for the animals. This one's for the cows!

Barely three months ago, the Blackhawks captured their second Stanley Cup in four seasons. Well, it's go time again. The first step on the road to a possible repeat: a home game against the loaded Washington Capitals.
Yep, this ain't gonna be easy. But you gotta start somewhere. How did this matchup play out on our repeat scale? Check back throughout the game for updates.
Relative Hawks newbie Jimmy Hayes draws a high-sticking penalty and checks for blood, two minutes into the game. Andrew Shaw knows a thing or two about bleeding for this team.
Repeat scale: 3
Goal! If you had money Brandon Bollig being the first Hawk to score this season, you're probably a millionaire right now. He must have learned a thing or two from Patrick Kane.
Repeat scale: 5
Capitals tie it up on the power play, courtesy of Alex Ovechkin. You might know him as the reigning NHL MVP. At least it wasn't some nobody beating Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford. Game recognize game.
Repeat scale: 1
Goal! Patrick Kane puts the Hawks ahead. No Conn Smythe Trophy hangover here. This is the new, trouble-free Kaner, remember?
Repeat scale: 5
Crawford stops Ovechkin on a sneaky Ovechkin one-timer. Mr. MVP, meet the reigning Jennings Trophy winner.
Repeat scale: 4
First-period score: Blackhawks 2, Capitals 1
The first Hawks breakaway goes to Patrick Sharp, and ... and ... and ... uh, he was stopped cold by Washington goaltender Braden Holtby.
Repeat scale: 1
Aw snap, Crawford takes one practically off the stick blade of Eric Fehr with his glove early in the second to keep the game deadlocked. Corey! Corey!
Repeat scale: 3

Food and Music are the Keys to MemoryFriday, April 16th, 2010 - by: Becky Herrmann, Library Director
Do I need help? I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking and talking about food.
As I ponder the benefits of using Meyer lemons over your basic supermarket brand, I wonder at times what matters of consequence I could be contemplating instead - the pros and cons of health care, the meaning of life or perhaps why the sky is blue. But no, I would prefer to think about food. It is part of my genetic make-up - when planning family get-togethers, the first question any of my sisters asks is, "What can I bring?" (meaning food, of course…).
I think I have been obsessed with meal planning since I made my first dinner from the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook - homemade "Shake and Bake-style chicken, a bunny salad (pears with cottage cheese tails) and molasses crinkles for dessert.
Food stimulates my sense memories - it is how I navigate my history. I even recollect visits from friends by what I served them for dinner - "Ah yes, I remember it well, that was the night of the roasted tomato and goat cheese appetizer." "No, I think you are wrong - I distinctly recall we had the porcini mushroom risotto."
Food is my memory trigger. It starts with the recollection of the meal, leads to remembered conversations - a shared laugh and a visual journey down memory lane. Food memories are how I orient myself. I even give directions in the Boston area using restaurants as my compass points - they are just around the corner from Redbones; they live half a block from Dali; you won't miss their place, they are right next to Rosie's Bakery.
Music is the other trigger for me - a familiar provocation for most. Rickie Lee Jones' "Chuck E.'s in Love" sends me to a spring day, hanging out on a dorm roof in my first shorts of the season. "Truckin" by the Grateful Dead brings me to Harvard square on a summer evening, listening to the street musicians. Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of your life)" has me back in an auditorium seat watching the Senior class video as my daughter graduated from high school. And it is not always your favorite songs that elicit the memories - "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas was my senior high class song. I am sure that is what made it pour that day.
There is nothing I like better than to invite friends over, try out a few new recipes and put on some of my favorite music. Here are two cookbooks I have recently admired and a few CD's that are worth checking out.
The Conscious Cook -Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change Your Life by Tal Ronnen - A vegan cookbook that puts protein at the center of the plate and creates satisfying meals for both meat-lover and vegetarian palates. 75 creative and diverse recipes accompanied by beautiful full-color photographs (and they taste good too!).
Stir: Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition by Barbara Lynch - A local girl, self-taught chef Barbara Lynch was raised in the projects of South Boston, where she ate mostly processed foods. She was introduced to cooking by her high school home economics teacher and fell in love with the craft. Since then, she's opened a cooking school, a cookbook store, a deli, a butcher shop and several award-winning restaurants including No. 9 Park. She has also given us this gorgeous cookbook filled with mouth-watering recipes including a few of her restaurants' signature dishes.
Theresa Andersson, Hummingbird, Go! - Raised in Sweden and based in New Orleans, Andersson got her start recording quirky harmonies in her kitchen. Influenced by both folk music and Motown, her voice is reminiscent of a contemporary Dusty Springfield.
Big Star, #1 Record and Radio City - With the untimely passing of Alex Chilton, it is time to look back at the pop band, Big Star - a cult-level band that followed Chilton's stint as the lead singer of the Box Tops. Big Star was said to combine elements of the Beatles, the Who, the Kinks and the Byrds. Bands like R.E.M., the Replacements and Wilco have helped Big Star to gain its mythic stature, citing the band as influential on their music (watch for these two CDs, soon to be in our collection).
XX, The XX - This young Indie quartet from London sings candidly about relationships and makes music that's simple and raw, but very captivating. I suspect that this is a band to watch.
Neil Young, Sugar Mountain Live at Canterbury House, 1968 - Neil Young was just 22 when he took the stage at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Mich. He was nervous and had to be coaxed from his hotel room. The concert was an intimate performance combining new material and familiar Buffalo Springfield tunes. Forty years had to pass before we could hear this concert in its entirety - but it was worth the wait.Posted in Books, Column, Reading Room | No Comments »
World Wide Wednesday Music ConcertsFriday, July 25th, 2008 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
Like past summers, the Library's World Wide Wednesdays summer concert series is proving very fun and popular. Even though rain has forced two concerts to be held indoors at the Chelmsford Senior Center, the audiences have all enjoyed the music and dancing each week.
This week's performance by InkasWasi, brought to life the color of Peruvian culture, through their costumes, songs and dance. Check out some photos from past concerts to be part of the fun.
There are three more concerts scheduled for this summer:
All performances start at 6:30 p.m., and are held outside at the MacKay Library - in case of bad weather, performances are moved indoors at the Chelmsford Senior Center.
For more information and a complete schedule, please visit http://www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/programs/programs/world_wide_wednesdays.html.

Masonry Walls: 'Flashed' before your eyes
As we all know, the economic downfall is not directly related to how we individually run our businesses. It does, however, create opportunities for our businesses to be operated differently. For example, our yards no longer have surplus wall wire, anchors, or rolls of flashing lying around, and I'll bet the payrolls are smaller than desired. We are all affected by this, and we have to work through it. We have to be a bit stronger and a bit smarter than before, so we can look back on this tough time later.
Today's market
Masonry walls vary in widely from the past, thanks to engineered rain screen systems, cast stone, precast stone, and natural stone veneers as well as many types of brick, concrete masonry units (CMU) and unlimited variations that combine materials. Today's masonry walls are similar to those in the past as well. We still need to manage water infiltration and create pathways for the water to return to the exterior of the building in a timely fashion. As a mason contractor, this is important, since this is, in part, the area from where many call backs stem.
There are many means for water to enter the walls of our projects. In restoration projects, it becomes an opportunity to repair a wall. In new construction, it becomes a goal to keep out of the wall. In either case, the mason needs to gain access to a cavity as his starting point.
Flashings are familiar to masons, since we install them using propriety systems, and we install them conventionally. Flashings, when performed correctly, are usually a built-in job cost for the contractor in labor, scaffolding/equipment and gathering of various materials. For the mason, the choice of what to use and who installs the flashing in the field is a decision that becomes important for a cost accounting point of the task.
Flashing choices
Walls that require brake metal such as copper or stainless steel have a different set of preconstruction requirements as they take more time to plan, due to varied lengths of materials, fabrication time and proper transportation to the jobsite. Though the brake metal flashings typically are supplied by others in our new construction projects, the restoration market in most areas takes responsibility for the fabrication of this product.
Fewer of today's projects terminate the brake metal into a sawn reglet as the termination bar has become a standard for attaching the metal to the backup wall. A sealant bead at the top of the termination bar is recommended for keeping water from behind the flashing. Proper lap splicing and sealing of laps typically is handled using single-component polyurethanes, and terminations at the ends of the flashings can be performed using a preformed boot or roll membrane to field fabricate for each condition. Soldering brake metal joints as necessary has become rare, and can become a valuable skill for a contractor in today's market.
Recently, a manufacturer took all of the components of a conventional system and combined it with the astetics and functions of a brake metal system, and then patented a pre-assembled flashing system that has the full benefits of both systems as well as ease of installation and convence. The factory-fabricated system has preassembled membrane flashing with a hemmed stainless steel or copper drip edge, termination bar and non-clog drainage mat that will allow water to pass out of the wall in weeps found under the veneer. The flashing system has predetermined lap spacing and can be engineered to specific projects at no additional expense to the mason. The pre-engineering of the system is completed prior to bidding of the project as to help reduce the waste on the project and to allow job fabrication time, so the mason does not have wasted material on the project. The system is completely furnished in the box and allows for one-stop shopping of flashing components that can land directly on the jobsite. It is supported by a hands-on representative who can work with the masons to help solve any flashing needs (see Figure 1, page 14).
Single-wythe through wall flashing in a standard dimensioned CMU wall has been an issue for masons for a while, due to the start-and-stop method of using smaller dimensioned materials turned on end. This method forms a path for the flashing to pass through the wall, using two bed courses, one vertical course apart. The start-and-stop method can potentially create a bond break as the membrane is placed on the CMU directly, with the mortar then placed on top of the membrane to support the following courses. This method also requires the mason to return to the flashing course after the smaller unit (usually only one side) has set, before completing the main body of the wall. Often, it can be weeks before the general contractor is ready for the mason to return, which can create a possibility for water to enter the foundation walls in areas where rainfall is prevalent.
A single-wythe, through-wall flashing alternative is available to the contractors nationally. The product is a drainage pan that sits directly on the standard or decorative CMU and protects each cell individually, using a pitched and insect-protected weep joint. The component bridges the gap between cells and has a removable tab for grouted joints. Simply place the pans on the wall, spread your mortar as you would typically, and continue to lay directly on top of the flashing course. A quick precut piece of drainage material is placed in the course above to keep mortar droppings clear of the weeps. Sometimes a quick flip with a pointing tool is required to ensure that the weeps are clear (see Figure 2, page 16).

Esquire's 2013 Car Awards: The Rise of Performance
In the age of "eco" and "hybrid" and alternative fuels, there have never been more exciting performance cars....Nice.
By Sam Smith
Minor Delight No. 137: The Hundy
You want to drive 100 miles an hour. You just do. It's three digits. It's a benchmark. It's a literal shortness of breath that is as close as you are ever gonna get to liftoff at Cape Canaveral.
But you don't want to be a douchebag about it — terrorize someone's neighborhood or startle the older gentleman doing a respectable 63 in the middle lane of the interstate. You don't want to hit a stinking deer, and you don't want to lose your license (or the car) to the po-po.
Such is the itch that you get up early, before the stinking deer and the police arise. There's a two-mile access road along the highway. Mostly straight, with one little traffic light two thirds of the way south. You turn from the exit onto the access road and there's nothing but you, that Jaguar XF, and that delivery truck you just passed at 95 on your way to 114. Aah… That feels better.

10 reasons to work your body
The numbers are shocking. Just three out 10 American adults are active enough to stay healthy and fit. Nearly four out of 10 admit they aren't active at all, despite reams of research proving that exercise is a powerful preventive, and sometimes an antidote, for disability and illness. Which side of this divide are you standing on—and why?
Regular physical activity makes an enormous difference to the quality and length of your life, a fact underscored by hundreds of solid studies. In a nutshell, exercise does the following:

Co-Mngr Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Sports Authority in February 2009.
generel interview. I was internal so it more of a checklist. Bottom line, was I got the ball rolling by sending out a few emails to my HR contact and the DM. I was careful not to use the internal company email for everyone to see. I made a point of improving dept impact before making the approach. I also realized that I was the one who made my plight known to begin with. My Gm and CO and no input until mid way. Even while I was trying to get my foot in the door of a promotion the CO (even with his stamp of approval) was attempting to get an old co-workier into the company. The company is all about office politics and some merit.

Frequently asked questions
While each person's diabetes is unique, there are some common problems that diabetes care providers are often asked about, including the following:
Why would my blood glucose be higher in the morning than it is at bedtime the night before?
One possibility is that your liver is releasing lots of glucose into the bloodstream during the night, because the feedback mechanisms to prevent this from occurring are not working. Taking the drug metformin can help in this situation.
Another possible cause is the dawn phenomenon, in which hormones released during the normal waking process cause a rise in blood glucose in the early morning hours. In people who take insulin, adjusting their dose of long-acting insulin or the basal rate on an insulin pump may help to correct this.
Yet another possible cause is the Somogyi effect, in which the body responds to hypoglycemia during the night by releasing hormones that cause the liver to release glucose, thereby restoring blood glucose to a safe level. The treatment in this case is to prevent hypoglycemia during the night, which involves assessing and adjusting your evening meal and medicines.
Why would I have two identical A1C test results in a row when my home blood glucose monitoring results were completely different during the periods leading up to each test?
Your A1C level can be interpreted as an average of all blood glucose levels over three months. When you consider that the average of 76 and 140 is 108, and the average of 30 and 186 is also 108, you can see how three months of in-range blood glucose levels could yield the same A1C as three months that included some out-of-range blood glucose levels.
When your A1C level doesn't seem to "match" your home blood glucose monitoring results, you may want to vary the times of day at which you check your blood glucose level with your meter. You may find there are times when your blood glucose level is high or low; if these fall into a pattern — for example, you have high blood glucose after lunch pretty much every day — you may need to make some adjustments to your diabetes management plan.
I have downloaded my meter. Now what do I do?
With most meters on the market today, you can transfer your blood glucose monitoring results from your meter to a software program on a computer using a cable provided by or purchased from the meter manufacturer. The software program will have a variety of ways of displaying your blood glucose readings, making it easier for you to assess your overall level of control as well as see patterns in your blood glucose levels, such as frequent highs or lows at particular times of day.
This information is useful to your health-care provider, too, so if you have access to a printer, take a copy of any charts, graphs, or other reports you make to your next appointment to discuss. The first priority when looking over your blood glucose history is to note any episodes of hypoglycemia and their likely cause. The second is to note whether your blood glucose levels first thing in the morning and before meals are within your target range. And then you will want to see whether your after-meal readings are within range.
Consistent problems in any of these areas may be addressed with changes to your medication, meal, or exercise plans. However, since it can be difficult to remember what you ate or when you exercised from one doctor appointment to the next, it helps a lot to keep some records of these details, particularly if you're noticing out-of-range readings when you monitor your blood glucose.

August 5th August 12th – Don't delay!
OK, so here's the deal. Many of you know that our gamification for salesforce.com application, Engage, has made it into the top 16 for this year's AppQuest competition. Our ultimate goal is to make it to the top 4 and be able to present our application on stage at Dreamforce in front of 30-40k SFDC users. Gamification is still really new and no one is really pushing it as a tool to increase productivity so we're excited to have the chance to do so on such a scale.
First, we need to make it to the top 8, and to do that we are going to need your help. This round is based on "likes" on the AppQuest Facebook page and we're at a real disadvantage. For example, some of our competitors have over 2,000 employees. This means we really need to flex every social muscle we can find.
So, are you a fan of gamification? Do you want to see gamification break into the enterprise and workplace on a large stage? Here are the steps you need to take to make this happen:
UPDATE! – Engage by IActionable has moved to the Top 8! We need your vote again here: http://iactionable.com/contest

Academy pupils show off their 4X4 designs
Posted: March 04, 2013|
By JENNY MOODY
ROCESTER pupils have been continuing the trend by once again winning a host of awards in a engineering competition.
The JCB Academy competed in the Midlands Regional 4x4 in Schools Challenge and left with a selection of awards.
This now takes them through to the national final at the Big Bang Fair, in London Excel on March 14 where they will compete to become the 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge UK champions.
The regional heats welcomed 21 teams from across the Midlands to JCB World Headquarters where officials from the 4x4 in schools judging panel graded the teams on six different areas.
The pupils were graded on engineering, scrutineering, track performance including a trailer tow, verbal presentation, project management and portfolio.
The teams representing The JCB Academy were The Dukes and Mystery Inc.
The school said they came away with three awards which was a 'fantastic achievement'.
The Dukes were awarded Best Engineered Vehicle and also scooped the main award for the event of the Overall Regional Winners.
Mystery Inc. were awarded Best Track Performance, which the school said was 'a significant achievement for a first year team'.
The 4x4 in Schools Challenge is aimed at students aged 11 to 18 years old.
It involves teams of four to six pupils working together to design and build a radio controlled 4-wheel-drive (4x4) vehicle to set specifications.
These specifications can successfully negotiate a specially designed test track that emulates that of real life and what a full scale 4x4 vehicle can do.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Salifu, Uyo email@example.com URN etd-12132011-141920 Document Title The United Nations' triadic role as International Organisation in the achievement of selected child-related Millennium Development Goals : the case of West Africa Degree Master of Arts Department Political Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr Y K Spies Supervisor Keywords

- IOs
- United Nations
- International Organisations
Date 2011-09-08 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe contemporary global system is characterised by the presence of a multitude of International Organisations (IOs) whose relevance is sustained by the roles they play. Among these IOs, the United Nations (UN) is of paramount importance as a result of its universal membership and extensive mandate. Its international role is influenced by its evolving structures, practices and goals. Among its most recent objectives are the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which address the challenge of holistic human development at the global level. This study aims to assess the UN's role in pursuing the MDGs as they relate to the development of children in West Africa. The first two of the eight goals have been selected for the purpose of focusing the research, namely the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, and the elimination of illiteracy by achieving universal primary education. Children, who bear the brunt of global underdevelopment and whose development is a key element in breaking cycles of poverty, are the focus of the study. The general and historical role played by the UN in advancing child development is therefore assessed with regards to the issue-fields indicated by the two selected MDGs. Specific application is then done in the case of West Africa, chosen as case study because the region is the poorest in the world and arguably indicative of most urgent MDG focus. Clive Archer's analytical outline, which depicts IOs variously as instruments, arenas and actors, is used as a conceptual framework. Archer contends that IOs can be utilised as instruments by other global actors, serve as arenas for dialogue and cooperation among such actors and also assume proactive, independent identities as actors in pursuit of specific objectives. The study concludes that Archer's framework is relevant, but that the existence of all three roles in the same functional space has notable and often contradictory implications. While the UN generally plays its roles as actor and arena in achieving its first two MDGs among West African children with relative ease, its role as instrument is dependent on the agendas and political will of other actors in the global system. Notwithstanding the weakness of its role as instrument, however, the UN's triad of roles towards the development of children, and specifically children in West Africa, is a key element of the organisation's global relevance.

Shroud of Turin
|Christ died so we could write articles on
|Random examples
""The two attributes central to the shroud's alleged religious significance — that it wrapped the body of Jesus, and is of supernatural origin — are precisely those neither science nor history can ever prove.
|—Philip Ball, Nature (May 2008)
The Shroud of Turin is a length of linen cloth claimed by some members of the Christian community to have been Jesus's death shroud.
Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Pope Benedict XVI declared it "the authentic burial robe" of Christ.[1] It is unknown whether this declaration was made while casting +2 Papal infallibility.
Sindonology is the "scientific" study of the Shroud of Turin. Unfortunately, most of this "science" is directed at trying to prove that the shroud is the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ, making it on par with Lysenkoism in the sense that it is attempting to prove the already falsified.
[edit] Appearance
The Shroud is rectangular, measuring some 4.4 by 1.1 meters. The cloth (specifically linen) is woven in a three-to-one herringbone twill composed of flax fibrils. It shows faint but distinctive sepia images of the front and back of a naked man with his hands folded across his groin. The body image is muscular and 1.70 to 1.88 meters, or about 5'7" to 6'2", tall, with wound points as though they could have been caused by the process of crucifixion, but there is no generally accepted theory to explain how the image was impressed onto the cloth. However, it is accepted that the image is not anatomically correct — the head is 5% too large for its body, the nose is disproportionate, and the arms are too long. To the unaided eye the image is not obvious but appears much more defined as a black and white photographic negative, as revealed when the shroud was first photographed in 1898.
[edit] Technical problems
No examples of complex herringbone weave are known from the time of Jesus when, in any case, burial cloths tended to be of plain weave. In addition, Jewish burial practice utilized — and the Gospel of John specifically describes for Jesus — multiple burial wrappings wrapped tightly around the body with a separate cloth over the face:
""Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself...
|—John 20:1:6, King James Version
Additionally, none of the gospels make any mention of any miraculous burial cloth after Jesus's resurrection. Curious that the most holy relic in all of Christendom doesn't even get so much as a word in its holy texts, isn't it?
There are also claims of "bloodstains" on the cloth, but Hebrew law dictated cleansing of the corpse before wrapping and bodies don't bleed after death. Chemist Walter McCrone identified the substance as a "combination of red ochre and vermilion tempera paint." However only fibrils lifted from the shroud on sticky tape were tested for blood (This was done in order to avoid damaging the cloth). It should be pointed out though that the color observed was still an unfaded red, which would not be expected of real blood, which browns with age. Dr M. M. Baden, a pathologist, pointed out the blood trickles from the scalp are evidence of forgery, on the ground that blood from a scalp wound does not flow in rivulets but mats the hair.[2]
Also of note is the lack of wrap-around distortion. For a shroud that was supposedly wrapped around the body of Christ, the lack of wrap-around distortion across the torso, thighs and legs is striking. If the cloth were genuine, the face and body should be hardly recognizable as such, and should look something more like this. The figure does not satisfy the geometric conditions of contact formation.
[edit] History
Little reliable information is known of the shroud before the 15th century, beyond it being present in France in the 14th century. In 1453 Margaret de Charny deeded it to the House of Savoy, and in 1578 the then-Duke transferred it to Turin. The description of the Turin cloth at this point differs from that of the original cloth first presented in the 14th century. In 1983, the Savoy heirs gave it to the Holy See, who had it restored in 2002. Today it is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin.
The practice of faking holy relics was widespread during the Middle Ages. In 1988 three independent teams of scientists analyzed fragments of the cloth using radiocarbon dating and concluded that it dated from the Middle Ages. However, some critics who were skeptical of the dating claimed that the pieces of cloth which were analyzed were not part of the original shroud but repairs following fire damage in 1532. This claim holds no water, though; as mentioned above, the shroud's latest date of construction according to radiocarbon was around 1390. Said critics might insist this is due to the repairs being made with older threads that date back then. However, this claim is not supported by evidence either. Regardless, the Catholic Church has refused further tests, though whether this is out of genuine concern for the cloth's condition or because of butthurt over the results not going their way is yet to be seen.
It should be noted that although the testing dates the cloth to circa 1260 to 1390, it does not necessarily mean the image itself also dates to 1390. The date only indicates approximately when the shroud cloth was woven.
[edit] Theories
[edit] Leonardo da Vinci
One proposed hypothesis is that Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned to replace an earlier version of the Shroud of Turin that was exposed as a poor fake, which had been bought by the Savoy family in 1453 only to disappear for 50 years.[3] Da Vinci created a "new" Shroud of Turin using a camera obscura technique involving a mirror and lens, on cloth impregnated with silver sulphate in a darkened room. The techniques required to create primitive photographs had been available since the 11th century in the book of optics; by Ibn al-Haytham, or Alhazen as he was known in the west. The silver sulphate acted as a negative which propagated an image onto the cloth when exposed by light through the lens. Silver sulphate and the camera obscura technique were known in the 15th century. In January 2009, visual arts consultant Lillian Schwartz at the School of Visual Arts in New York, compared the face on the Shroud of Turin with that of a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, and found they matched.[4][5]
[edit] Jacques de Molay
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas in a 1997 book, The Second Messiah: Templars, the Turin Shroud and the Great Secret of Freemasonry, argue that the image on the Shroud is of Jaques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar. De Molay was tortured and burned at the stake in Paris on March 11, 1314 by orders of the French King Philip IV, Le Bel, when the king succeeded in having the Templar order disbanded by Pope Clement V, and attempted to seize all of the Templar assets. Using the radiocarbon evidence, the Shroud was made sometime between 1260 and 1390.[6] The Shroud is known to have been in France during the fourteenth century, lining up with de Molay's death in 1314. Knight and Lomas contend that the image which allegedly resembles that of de Molay, was created between the time de Molay was tortured and burned at the stake, at the direction of the Chief Inquisitor of France, William Imbert. They speculate that his torture consisted of his arms and legs being nailed in a manner similar to crucifixion, possibly to a large wooden door. Then de Molay was laid on a length of linen cloth on a soft bed. The cloth was then pulled over his head and body and de Molay was left to recover from his wounds, before his later slow death by fire.
The authors based their image of de Molay on a nineteenth-century lithograph by French artist Chevauchet.
[edit] Is the Shroud of Turin older than we think?
There are many articles[7] online that say two scientists, Giulio Fanti, and Saverio Gaeta have reexamined the shroud, and found it to be around the time Jesus existed. Three problems: First, just because the shroud is from that time, does not mean it has to be Jesus. Yes, the shroud looks like the man was crucified, but it is widely accepted that crucifiction was the most common way to execute people back during First Century CE.
Second, both scientists are Catholics. I think we all know the track record of claims by Christians in the past. Also, there might be some motivation for Catholics to want to prove the shroud is real in that Pope Benedict XVI declared it the "official burial shroud of Jesus".
Third, the methods used. Infrared rays are apparently able to determine the age of something now, and not the heat. The other method was spectroscopy, which has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the object.
[edit] Hypocrisy
Of course some people will claim we're in denial. However, they seem to have forgotten all the times they've been questioning the shroud just because of the "right date". The reasons the Carbon Dating didn't work was for the nitpickiest of reasons. So it's tested again on the "right date", and we find something wrong with that test. Suddenly we're being nitpicky! It's not uncommon for Christians to do this. They're going to call us closed-minded If we are skeptical of their claims -and usually for good reasons- and at the same time, they'll deny Evolution even when the evidence for it is presented, and their claims to falsify it have never held water.

Genworth Financial Announces Comprehensive U.S. Mortgage Insurance Capital Plan
The proposed legal entity reorganization will involve: (1) the creation of a new holding company (New Parent) over Genworth; (2) Genworth becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent; (3) the existing Genworth stock automatically converting into shares of New Parent stock and Genworth stockholders becoming stockholders of New Parent; and (4) the U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries, including the European mortgage insurance subsidiaries, becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent rather than the old parent, Genworth. Following completion of the reorganization, Genworth, the old parent, will continue to own its existing businesses except the U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries and New Parent will own the U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries and Genworth, the old parent. In addition, Genworth's outstanding senior and subordinated notes will remain obligations of Genworth, the old parent, and will receive the benefit of a new unconditional guarantee by New Parent of those obligations and thereby will continue to benefit from the value of the U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries. In connection with the reorganization, New Parent will be renamed Genworth Financial, Inc., the shares of New Parent common stock to be issued in connection with the reorganization will have the same designations, rights, powers and preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the current outstanding Genworth common stock. New Parent common stock will be listed on The New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol "GNW," and the company expects Genworth stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the reorganization.
No vote or consent of, or other action, by Genworth's stockholders or noteholders is required for the proposed reorganization. The reorganization plans are subject to approval by various regulators and are currently being pursued. The plans have been approved by GMICO's domestic regulator, the North Carolina Department of Insurance. The company anticipates completing the reorganization in the second quarter of 2013.

Inspirational castle: A Bavarian King captured Walt Disney's imagination for the design of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. For more Disney coverage, visit ocregister.com/disney.
Once upon a time in the 19th century, far, far away in the Bavarian Alps of Germany, there lived an eccentric king, Ludwig II.
In 1869, Ludwig commissioned a castle that he wanted built high above the village on a steep rock. Little did Ludwig know that one of the castles derived from his imagination would not only preserve his legacy in Bavaria, but forever make its mark on pop culture.
Before the construction of Disneyland, Walt Disney and his wife Lillian took a European tour. A Disneyland representative confirms that the time he spent at Neuschwanstein Castle was indeed the inspiration behind the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
In many ways it makes sense that Walt Disney would be compelled to share Ludwig's vision. Like Walt Disney, King Ludwig II thought outside the box and was known as "The Eccentric King." He conceived many projects that were before their time.
Neuschwanstein, which Ludwig dedicated to his favorite composer, Richard Wagner, was his most notable. Unlike the traditional, dark castles of medieval architecture, Neuschwanstein's bright colors and fairy tale-like location gives it a majestic essence. Also like Walt Disney, Ludwig II was an innovator. The castle was the first of its kind built from using many technological advances never before used.
The designs of the rooms and their gaudy decorations perpetuate the legacy of Ludwig's over–the-top personality. From the interior of the castle are breathtaking views of the Black Forest and German Alps. From inside, visitors also get a glimpse of Queen Mary's Bridge, a narrow bridge in the rear that Ludwig dedicated to his mother, where beautiful views of the castle can be seen.
Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Germany with an estimated 1.3 million visitors a year – sometimes up to 6,000 people per day. Like Disneyland and Walt Disney World, visitors from around the world travel to witness the magic for themselves. King Ludwig II and Neuschwanstein captured Disney's imagination, and Disney, in turn, has forever captured ours.

|String on the beads for your 1st and 2nd row and stitch all but the last bead in your third row.
Rather than go in and through only one bead at the end, go through the last two beads (or bead stacks if you are working more than 1-drop).
Your 3rd row will be missing its last bead. Let's fix that.
Pick up the last bead (or bead stack, be sure to go in reverse order) and go through the two beads shown in the photo.
Now you will do a "U-turn," creating the second half of an X with your thread path and coming out the first bead of row one.
Please note that this "U-turn" is only used in for Row 3 (although it is this turn that is often used in other directions). The "U-turn" for future rows, as shown, later in these photos, is what makes this "a la Sand Fibers."
Go through the last bead of Row 3 and turn your work
|You are now ready to bead Row 4.
At the end of "regular" rows, I add one simple step to allow for equal thread passes at the end of all rows. This keeps your work from "bowing" to one side in the final product, allowing for the same thread tension on both sides. Without this, the "regular" end has more give if you don't bead with super tight tension.
I take my needle through the bead immediately below the one I just came out of.
And then I take another quick "U-turn" and am back where I started, and turn my work.
This is the "U-turn" you will use for the "odd" rows from here on in.
When you add the last bead of your row, you only go through the one bead in the preceding row, as shown.
Then you take your needle through the two rows below it, as shown.
so take it through the last bead of your row and turn.
And, as they would say in England, carry on...
And that's all for today. Be well and get going, but please come back tomorrow for some Wednesday Window Shopping with Sand Fibers.

Rescind the HHS Dept. Mandate Requiring Catholic Employers to Provide Contraceptives/Abortifacients to Their Employees
The present Administration, through the Health and Human Services Department, is mandating that all employer healthcare insurance plans provide coverage for procedures which violate the beliefs of the Catholic Church, and Catholic institutions.
Basically, the new rules require the Catholic Church, and the institutions operating faithfully under the aegis of the Church, to provide coverage for contraceptive drugs and procedures. This requirement violates the beliefs of the Church.
Never before has the United States Government deigned to represent "transcendental truth" on matters of conscience for any religion within these United States. That in itself is unprecedented, which is also why it is unconstitutional.
Sign to Let the present Administration know that this mandate cannot stand.

Gov. Malloy's 2-year budget to cut $1.8 billion
HARTFORD (AP) — Deep cuts to hospitals and changes in Medicaid eligibility are among the reductions Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is proposing in his new two-year budget, set to be presented on Wednesday.
A budget document obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press shows the Democratic governor's plan cuts $1.8 billion in spending from the current services budget, which is the amount of spending required by law.

MindTwister Math is an excellent software choice for a classroom with few computers. Students can use the program individually, but it is designed for use by two or three students at a time. There are four levels to MindTwister Math: Mind Twinge, Cranium Cramp, Brain Sprain, and All-Out MindTwister. The topics are drawn directly from the average third grade curriculum, so of course there are second and fourth grade overlaps.
Within each level, students play a series of games. There are three competitive challenges and a fourth cooperative game. The graphics are slick and glitzy, but they don't overwhelm the math concepts. Introductory sequences are mercifully brief. Once students know how to play, they can bypass the instructions using the space bar.
The challenges are deceptively simple but are strategically aligned with the NCTM standards. In "UFO's," flying answers must be selected only if they fit a rule. Students utilize the following skills: categorization, using Boolean logic, spatial visualization, analogy-building, units of measure, comparing fractions, identifying missing digits and operation signs, 2D and 3D shapes, and pictorial representations of multiplication facts.
The "Get a Clue" game doles out information so students can eliminate wrong answers in a step-by-step procedure - a great test-taking skill. They also practice "greater than" and "less than," decimals, telling time, place value, odd and even numbers, and skip counting.
During the "Cooperation Break," students must work together to collect numbers in a "Pac-Man" style game. In doing so, they develop the following skills: rapid calculation, planning, comparing critical attributes, identifying multiple solutions, and reviewing computational facts.
In "Totally Twisters," students are presented with problems that explore patterns, calculation, comparing attributes, using models, fact families, coins and bills, estimation, perimeter, the number line, story problems, and mental math. Some reproducible teacher materials are also available so that the concepts can be discussed away from the computer.
There are few teacher options. Students with special needs can utilize a different type of input device. Otherwise, there is little management control. Student data is not available. Still, MindTwister Math is excellent in its range of concept presentation in a format students enjoy. A word of caution, however: the competitive nature of the game can be difficult if students are grouped heterogeneously. Because points are awarded for quick, correct answers, slower students do not fare well. Cooperative and coaching strategies are fine in theory - but they get lost in the glitz of bells, buzzers and congratulations to the winners. Best to group students evenly, if possible.
My fifth grade supportive students enjoyed the program very much, although they had trouble transitioning between competitive games and cooperative action. It took them a while to learn that pounding the keys and screaming at each other was not going to raise either of their scores - not a bad lesson in itself! They also had a bit of trouble understanding that the program only responds to the keyboard, no mouse. Given more time, I believe they will become more adept. While using the program, they were fully engaged in answering each question. Every student asked if they could "play" again.

Leeds, February 2012 – Planning permission has been granted to link two industrial units at Anglesea Capital's Sherburn Distribution Park just outside Leeds to create a 550,000 sq ft 'supershed'. The unit will become one of only four new build units in excess of 500,000 sq ft currently available in the UK and is being created to meet the requirements of large retailers, manufacturers and logistics operators.
Sherburn Distribution Park is one of the North's most acclaimed distribution parks comprising a total of 1.4M sq ft of industrial accommodation at J42 of the A1(M). The park has already attracted leading national retailer, Debenhams who established a 667,000 sq ft distribution centre joining existing tenants Optare and EDM Group. Other high profile Sherburn occupiers include Eddie Stobart, Sainsburys and Kingspan. Nick Sowerbutts of Anglesea Capital, said; "We took the decision to seek planning to join two units of 190,000 sq ft and 330,000 sq ft to create greater flexibility for occupiers. The deal with Debenhams represented a significant investment into the region and clearly demonstrated the suitability of Sherburn Distribution Park as a Northern base for major retailers. We can now accommodate an occupier of this scale with similar requirements and can structure deals to meet individual occupiers' requirements." The 190,000 sq ft and 330,000 sq ft units were originally constructed on a common grid to allow their combination at a future date. The combined 550,000 sq ft industrial unit will join an elite group of only four new build units in excess of 500,000 sq ft, currently available in the UK.Toby Vernon, Senior Director at CBRE who is marketing the unit, continued; "Of the five year take-up figures, 75 per cent of stock was new or good quality modern which highlights tenant demand for quality units like those at Sherburn Distribution Park. Recent demand has been significantly driven by retailers seeking to capitalise on economies of scale by consolidating supply chains into a smaller number of strategically located, larger footprint buildings. The creation of the 550,000 sq ft unit responds perfectly to this demand. The growth in online retailing continues to be one of the major drivers for warehouse demand and the current economic climate has also created an opportunity for growth of budget retailing which has also resulted in new demand for logistics space. The newly created large unit is ideally suited to such occupiers."

Kokeshi Doll Purple Bloomers Gift Bag 1 1
Extremely Flimsy When I first saw these bags, I thought they were so cute and unique. The problem is that they're extremely flimsy and very prone to ripping, even before you have a chance to give the gift! However, if you just want to use one for an hour or two as a disposable gift bag, I would recommend them. January 2, 2013
