A Rowan County man faces eight sex-related felony charges after authorities say they found a cellphone showing sexually explicit photos of the man with a pair of 15-year-old girls.
Investigators allege the 21-year-old suspect had sexual relationships with the underage girls, whom he allegedly met on Facebook.
The Rowan County Sheriff's Office said David James Garland, of Salisbury, was arrested Wednesday afternoon after a deputy found the phone during a search of the man's car.
Investigators say a deputy stopped Garland as he was pulling out of a convenience store near the town of Faith. A girl was in the car with him, according to deputies.
During the traffic stop, Deputy Jagger Naves said he found marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He said the girl told him she was 15 years old.
Naves said he asked to check Garland's cellphone, in a search for drug information, but instead found what authorities said were "disturbing pictures and texts involving underage females."
After being questioned by detectives, Garland was charged with four counts of statutory rape of a 13, 14 or 15-year-old by a defendant at least six years older; two counts of indecent liberties with a child; and two counts of sexual exploitation.
He was jailed under $75,000 bond, deputies say.

Can You Sue the Court-Appointed Psychologist in a Child Custody Proceeding?
Our preview of the September term of the Illinois Supreme Court continues with Cooney v. Rossiter [pdf].
Cooney occurs at the intersection of res judicata and class action work: if a putative class action goes down in flames on the merits before class certification, is the putative class representative's individual claim barred too?
Plaintiff Deborah was awarded custody of her two children in her divorce. In 2001, plaintiff's ex-husband filed for a change of custody. She sought appointment of a psychological evaluator in order to provide recommendations about the best interests of her children. The trial court appointed defendant, pursuant to Section 5/605 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/605). The defendant concluded that plaintiff Deborah and her parents (the co-plaintiffs) suffered from Munchausen's by Proxy Syndrome, and opined that their treatment of the child Christopher was child abuse. The plaintiffs allege that the trial court granted the ex-husband's petition for a change of custody based on the defendant's report, which the defendant allegedly intended to injure the plaintiffs. According to the plaintiffs, the defendant deliberately made false statements to an investigator from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and as a result, the DCFS entered a finding against plaintiff Deborah for child abuse.
The plaintiffs filed a federal class action civil rights suit against the defendant. The district court dismissed, holding that the defendants were absolutely immune from liability, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed. Cooney v. Rossiter, 583 F.3d 967 (7th Cir. 2009). So the plaintiffs sued the defendant in state court. The state court dismissed based on absolute immunity and res judicata.
The Appellate Court affirmed, holding that res judicata barred the plaintiffs' new suit. Despite the addition of plaintiff's son as a party plaintiff, the first suit was unquestionably a final judgment on the merits. The Federal 1983 suit and the plaintiffs' state court claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress "arose from the same set of operative facts." And although plaintiff Deborah's parents and son were not parties to the Federal action, they were privies to plaintiff Deborah.
So far, so easy. But does it matter that the Federal action was a putative class action? According to plaintiffs, Benton v. Smith requires a categorical answer that res judicata does not apply to individual actions following the failure of a class action. The Appellate Court disagreed, distinguishing Benton's facts and denying that it had adopted such a blanket rule.
In the alternative, the Appellate Court held that the defendant was entitled to absolute immunity. Relying upon the Seventh Circuit's decision in the earlier class action, the Appellate Court found that a Court-appointed psychologist acted under the Court's direction, and was therefore entitled to the same protection from suit by disappointed litigants as the judge herself was: "court-appointed evaluators must be accorded absolute immunity so as to allow them to fulfill their obligations without worry of harassment and intimidation from dissatisfied parents."
Cooney will be argued at the 9:00 am session of the Court on Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Join us back here later today for a preview of the argument in Carr v. Koch.

Last Sunday night, Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster made three attempts to plunk A-Rod, finally hitting him on the fourth. And what was his punishment? Nothing. A warning to both dugouts and a chance to watch an irate Joe Girardi get kicked out of the game. And now Major League Baseball has weighed in on the event and issued Dempster a five-game suspension—so thanks to Boston's five-man rotation and off-days on Thursday and Monday, he won't even miss a start: a perfect non-suspension suspension.
In a statement to the press, Dempster said, "I've never been suspended in my career, so it's not a fun feeling to have." Yeah, must be pretty rough sitting and watching five games from the dugout instead of...sitting and watching five games from the dugout. And while he'll have to pay a fine, compared to A-Rod's very real 211-game penalty, it looks like the MLB really does have it out for baseball's most-hated player.

After Public Outcry, Clear Channel Lifts Ban on Women's Clinic Ads
Earlier this month, we told you that Clear Channel in Wichita, KS, had pulled ads for a local women's clinic for violating "decency standards." In response, women's rights group Women, Action, & The Media (WAM) teamed up with the South Wind Women's Center to create the #ChangeTheChannel campaign in order to insist that women's health care is never indecent, and that everyone has the right to know where they can get medical care.
Since the launch of the effort, many thousands of citizens in Wichita and across the country phoned, emailed and tweeted the Wichita Clear Channel office and Clear Channel's corporate representatives, calling on the company to run the ads. Around 70,000 people signed petitions to the same effect.
In response to the national public outcry, Clear Channel officials met with representatives from the clinic on August 7, and promised to reconsider the ban on its ads. Then, yesterday, after a month-and-a-half of national pressure, Clear Channel officially reversed its decision to keep the ads off the air, and agreed to run them.
In light of Clear Channel's decision, Jaclyn Friedman, Executive Director of WAM!, told PRNewser's Elizabeth Mitchell via email: Read more

Looking for a sign?
Georgia Nicols helps jump-start your week with her seven-day astrological outlook. The feature appears exclusively at www.suntimes.com.
Updated: January 14, 2013 6:06AM
ALL SIGNS MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2 a.m. until 4 p.m. today. The New Moon occurs at 2:42 a.m.
◆ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today's New Moon is the best time all year to ask yourself what further education could improve your job. Or could you learn more through travel? What further training will enhance the richness of your life? (When you stop learning, you get old.)
◆TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Each New Moon is an opportunity to make resolutions. Today's New Moon urges you to focus on the values of others. Are you willing to compromise? Do you appreciate that others could have valid values that are different from yours?
◆GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The only New Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place today. This is your best chance of the year to think how you can improve partnerships and your closest relationships. Any ideas? Why not improve your life?
◆CANCER (June 21-July 22): What can you do to improve your job, the way you do your job, or the attitude you have to your job? Furthermore, what can you do to improve your health? These are the perfect questions to ask yourself today.
◆LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How well do you balance play with work and duty? Children freely play and express themselves, drawing, dancing and singing. Sadly, as adults we become passive with creative expression. What can you do to awaken opportunities to express your creativity?
◆VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use the energy of this New Moon day to make a few resolutions about how you can improve your home and also how you can improve your relationships with family members. What are one or two things you might focus on doing?
◆LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We are gregarious creatures. We need to socialize. Think about your style of communicating every day. Do you wait for others to speak first? This New Moon day is the best day all year to examine your communication style.
◆SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your attitude to something will influence how it manifests in your life. How do you view money? If you think money is the root of all evil, you won't hold onto it for long. Money is the energy to get things done. Think about this today.
◆SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today. That's why it's a perfect day to take a realistic look in the mirror to determine what you can do to improve the image you are sending out to the world. Any ideas?
◆CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your basic values hugely influence your life whether you are aware of this or not simply because your core beliefs influence your decisions and your decisions dictate your future. What are your core beliefs? What guides you?
◆AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): No one needs to tell an Aquarius how important friendship is. Are you happy with the friends you have? Do you hang out with quality people? Of course, the secret to having friends is to be friendly. This is also a good day to think about your dreams and hopes for the future. Are they clear in your mind?
◆PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your attitude to authority figures hugely affects your personal and professional life. Today's New Moon offers you the best chance all year to think about how you instinctively respond to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police.
IF DECEMBER 13 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Singer Taylor Swift (1989) shares your birthday today. You overlook nothing. You're attentive to detail because you believe in taking care of everything and working slowly to achieve what you want. You work for long-range results. You're an observer of the human condition and are very perceptive. Many of you work with your hands to create things. In the year ahead, you will work to build or construct something important to you.

Matisyahu and the Pitfalls of the Charismatic Leader
"The Jewish blogosphere is a abuzz today with the latest news from the constantly evolving life of the musician Matisyahu. First, Matisyahu shaved off his beard, which to the non-Orthodox community did not seem like much, but to the Orthodox Jewish community represented a significant shift in religious orientation. This was a man who had inspired countless numbers of his fellow Jews to see their faith in a new light and it emboldened those within the Orthodox camp to take pride in their peculiarities and differences from mainstream society as fellow HuffPost blogger Elad Nehorai recently wrote about."

The Halakhic Prenuptial Agreement: A Responsible Solution to the Jewish Divorce Crisis
"It was just this past Tuesday evening that a momentous occasion transpired in the conference room of a synagogue in Midtown Manhattan. The event was the International Rabbinic Fellowship (IRF) conference and it brought together a diverse assortment of its approximately 150-member strong rabbinic body. As with every professional conference for rabbis there were opportunities to learn together, to consult on pastoral or policy dilemmas and to provide ample opportunity for networking, relationship building and collective and shared inspiration. Yet, it was during what is normally the least exciting aspect of an organization's conference — the amendments and other mundane business of the organization component — that a resolution was passed unanimously that will go a long way in addressing one of the most pressing issues of the contemporary Jewish community: the agunah crisis."

The Jewish Way In Saying Goodbye
It is that time of year again in the life of the academic environment. During the course of several years relationships are cultivated and built and friendships deepened. You know in the back of your mind that at some point people will part ways and move in different directions. The university is utterly unique in its development of serious, passionate and meaningful temporary community. It is so meaningful that the reality of its transience escapes from the mind during the course of the several years you are all together. Yet, the finality of late May and early June start slowly creeping up on you and finally they arrive and you need to embrace the end and begin the process of saying goodbye.

The Righteous Mind
I recently finished reading Professor Jonathan Haidt's new book The Righteous Mindand found it to be utterly fascinating. The objective of the book is to present readers with a nuanced psychologically based reason for why people of good will and character differ so sharply and so strongly on critical issues. He specifically draws our attention to the subjects of religion and politics but his theory could be applied to any subject on which people passionately and vigorously disagree…

Conversion As An Act of Kindness
Conversion to Judaism is noble process that represents a person's desire to find shelter under the wings of the Divine Presence as manifested through the unique pathway of the Covenant at Sinai.1 For a long period of Jewish history it took quite an exceptional person indeed to seek out conversion to Judaism. Jews lived in bitter and harsh conditions, suffering persecution and discrimination at the hands of almost every country they found themselves in. Hence, the Talmud teaches that when a person comes to convert, one makes it very clear to them how hard it is to be a Jew in the contemporary world…

The Hunger Games and Divine Concealment
Many have written in recent days about the wildly popular new movie The Hunger Games based on the book series of the same name. There have been those who have written about it from a political perspective and those who have analyzed it from an artistic perspective, and of course, those who have viewed it from a religious lens. In regards to the latter category, many Jewish writers have focused in on its connection to the holiday of Passover, which we are currently in the midst of it. The story line, with its dystopian future, oppressive regime and a people yearning to be free, does bear some remarkable similarities to the narrative of the Exodus celebrated on Passover. However, I believe there is another Jewish comparison that has been overlooked and sheds an even greater depth on the relationship of God to humanity…

The Exodus and Miraculous Realism
This past weekend Jews throughout the world celebrated the beginning of Pesach, the Passover holiday, by embarking on the ancient rituals of the seder. The seder, with its rich symbolic actions and accompanying powerful text from theHaggadah, is an entryway into the psychological, emotional and spiritual experience of the Exodus. Indeed, this is the very point of having the seder, as the early rabbis taught: "In every generation, one is obligated to see oneself as having left Egypt. (Pesachim 10:5)" What does this immersion into the Exodus narrative cultivate in a person? What sort of world outlook does this bring forth? …

Conversion: The Need for Orthodox Leadership
In every generation throughout Jewish history there have been people who desired to enter into the Covenant of Israel and join their fate with the fate of the Jewish people. The earliest examples we have of such people are from the Tanach. The story of Ruth and her journey to the People of Israel became the paradigmatic story of conversion for the early rabbis1. Before Ruth rabbinic tradition speaks of Abraham as the first convert2 or of all of the Jewish people standing at Sinai as all converts3. Regardless of where conversion began, there has always been paths open for people who have yearned to convert to Judaism…

Towards a Sustainable Rabbinic Community
We live in a drastically different world than people even a generation before us did. The modes of communication open to us allow for instantaneous communication between people around the globe. People used to need to wait for the newspaper the next morning to find out what happened somewhere else, but now, all one needs to do is point their web browser to the right address and discover live feeds of current events in every part of our world. Furthermore, this feed is not one directional any longer. Every person now has the ability to comment publicly about the actions of others.

Apple sued by iPod user over hearing loss
A disgruntled iPod owner has filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming the device causes hearing loss and that the company does not properly warn users of this danger. iPods are "inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss," according to the complaint, which was filed yesterday on behalf of John Kiel Patterson in U.S. District Court in San Jose, California.
The suit, which seeks class action status, demands compensation for unspecified plaintiffs' damages and upgrades to make iPods safer to use. According to the complaint, iPods can produce sounds of more than 115 decibels, which can damage the hearing of a person exposed for more than 28 seconds per day. Apple ships a warning with each iPod that states "permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume."

- Antitrust lawyers claim Apple deleted competing songs from users' iPods
- Apple announces (PRODUCT)RED Gift Cards for Black Friday
I'm embarrassed to be a part of American society with stuff like this. Skim the article that's linked in the news post and you'll find even more idiotic nonsense:
"White headphones commonly referred to as ear buds, which ship with the iPod, also contribute to noise-induced hearing loss because they do not dilute the sound entering the ear and are closer to the ear canal than other sound sources, the complaint states."
These are the grounds for a lawsuit in America. It doesn't matter if all earphones and headphones are close to the ear canal (which they are by design) with the way this complaint is worded.
"Apple has also contributed to hearing loss in iPod users by including phrases such as 'crank up the tunes' and 'bring in the noise' in lesson manuals related to the device, according to the complaint."
This is probably the saddest part of the entire complaint. It's basically saying that, for example, if a band titles one of their songs "Play It Loud," they're intentionally subjecting you to hearing loss and you should sue them.

That is UTTERLY ridiculous. Hearing loss only happens WHEN YOU TURN UP THE VOLUME. The ipod works at lower volume. There are settings in itunes to lower the volume.
Watch, some idiot judge will let this go on and on.
tgcujo, like most people, you don't know anything about the McDonalds coffee case. McD's was intentionally serving coffee at temperatures far above industry norm and had been warned repeatedly by their own legal department, who had settled numerous burn cases in the two years prior, to lower the temps to industry standard. Furthermore, the manufacturer of the coffee system recommended a temp ten degrees lower than what McDs was using. There are many many other little things that make the McD's case valid.
Read the case files. The lawsuit was 100% valid, and every law student in America studoes it now as a *good* example of a negligence tort.

As a law student from Canada, I can tell you that there are also severe statutory limits on class action lawsuits as well as reasonable caps on damage judgments; although there is a large percentage of plaintiff personal injury litigators that would love us to adopt what they describe as a "more developed" civil law approach like our American friends. One of our profs, a well known criminal defence lawyer that has argued many cases in front of the Supreme Court of Canada, is never without his ipod when not teaching.

You must see the irony in this… if you look where the plaintiff is from it says Louisiana :p Do you actually expect a hill-billie from Louisiana who bought the iPod to show off to actually read the manual?! I'm guessing it took him the better part of the day just to turn it on so this isn't really such a surprise for me. Stupid people do stupid things and the USA which, despite being the most powerful and developed country in the world, is filled with sub-average intelligence individuals. Therefore this is mostly to be expected. The USA is great and all but not because of the masses. It is this way because you have a few really high peaks of intelligence which drive your whole country. That's super for the people as a whole but on a per-individual basis… your totally screwed… just as this very eloquent case proves.

It should be YOUR responablity to listen to your iPod at a reasonable volume, I only listen to my iPod at half volume and only occasionally increase the volume.

Please! Don't EVEN try to tell me that this kind of ridiculous lawsuit WOULDN'T happen in other countries if their legal systems were set up to allow them. It happens here because it's easy to do. Got a gripe? Got a lawyer? File a lawsuit.
Believe me, if it were easier to get away with in Canada, it would happen their as well.

tad handsome… just for the record… =))))))
And the answer is… someone must have kicked you in the back so hard that it damaged your kidneys… or maybe you fell hard enough on your back. Thanks for making me laugh.
to flatline response: I'm sorry if you felt insulted. It was not what I intended to do. I'm sorry about Katrina and I didn't know it hit Louisiana… but what does that have to do with the fact that this guy is plainly a moron? It's stupid and I just commented on the fact that just because you have the ability to do something doesn't mean you should… and the fact that stupid people tend to ignore that fact. This being the reason for which there are so many nonsense lawsuits in the USA. I'm not defending Apple. This law suit could be brought to any music player manufacturer's doorstep so if this guy wins it would be a real hinderance for everybody who likes to listen to music as they see fit.

A few weeks ago, I returned from the European NG Security summit, held this year in Frankfurt. It was a successful summit with over 20 CISOs in attendance. There were a couple of things that really stood out for me. Cyber, (Security, Threats, or Crime) & Risk. Most of those in charge of their company's IT security business were conscious that they needed to do a better job communicating back to the business in their own language. Of the few that reported they already did this, they were clear that this approach meant they were able to build more strategic relations and gain additional budget.
Most organisations understand risk, after all, they would not be where they are today if they had not taken the occasional risk to grow the business! However, in the age of austerity, managing or controlling risk becomes even more important. Taking calculated risks through better business intelligence is not just an approach reserved for the research, sales or...
You can't argue the positive potential impact of social media to an organization. It's allows a company to have conversations with current and potential customers, helping to sway buying decisions. It helps to build relationships, brand trust and ultimately helps to create advocates for a company's brand.
Social media ever present and simply blocking is no longer an option. As IT professionals, you're going to have to effectively manage the challenges of social media in the workplace and ensure that corporate data is protected and stored to comply with new government regulations.
But how do you make sense of all it? For those you who missed our Vision session: How Social Media is Influencing Your IT agenda, here's a quick recap of the regulations we reviewed.

Social media giving you an IT headache?
Social media can give IT professionals a headache if the organization is not properly prepared to deal with each of the new government regulations requiring monitoring, logging, retaining and disclosure of their employee's relevant communications.
And, prohibiting access to social media sites in the workplace is no longer an option, largely due to the business benefits of social sites, and the uncontrollable nature of the Internet and mobile devices. Yet, IT is often tasked with helping companies comply with these requirements.
There are four main areas in which IT professionals can effectively manage the challenges of social media in the workplace and ensure that corporate data is protected and stored to comply with these regulations.

Super powder
Reviewed: 28 June 2014 by sexytime87
I bought this to freshen up my UR3 toy and other flesh-type toys because they ended up getting really sticky, and oh wow, what a great job it did. Everything is like new.
This tub maybe small, but will definitely go along away.
The way I looked at it is you get 28g of refresh powder, so that's 28 uses at a gram a use. That should be plenty to renew your toy.
What a bargain for £2.99. You really cannot go wrong considering the price you may pay for a toy.
- Pros
- Returns your toys back to their glory days.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Well worth the price for what it does, 10/10.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009)
Céli Dé or Culdees were originally members of ascetic Christian monastic and eremitical communities of Ireland, Scotland and England in the Middle Ages. The term is used of St. John the Apostle, of a missioner from abroad recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters at the year 806, and of Óengus Céile Dé, the well-known monk and author of Tallaght. "Culdee" is an anglicisation of Céli Dé (plural of Céile Dé, lit. "client/companion of God"). Boece's term is culdei. In Scottish Latin sources they are often called Kelidei.
The etymology of the term, the persons designated by it, their origin, their doctrines, the rule or rules under which they lived and the limits of their authority and privileges have all been matters of controversy. All admit, however, that, in the beginning at all events, the Culdees were separated from the mass of the faithful, that their lives were devoted to religion and that they lived in community. Appearing first in Ireland and subsequently in Scotland, attached to cathedral or collegiate churches, they lived in monastic fashion though not taking monastic vows.[1]
From the 12th century Scottish and Irish Christianity was regulated on the Roman pattern and in the process the Culdees also lost any distinctiveness they may formerly have had and were brought under canonical rule.
|Part of a series on
|Celtic Christianity
|Portal Christianity
In the course of the 9th century we find mention of nine places in Ireland (including Armagh, Clonmacnoise, Clones, Devenish and Sligo) where communities of Culdees were established as a kind of annexe to the regular monastic institutions. They seem especially to have had the care of the poor and the sick, and were interested in the musical part of worship. Óengus the Culdee lived in the last quarter of the 8th century and is best known as the author of the Félire Óengusso "the Martyrology of Óengus".
Maelruan (died 792), under whom Oengus lived, drew up a rule for the Culdees of Tallaght that prescribed their prayers, fasts, devotions, confession and penances, but we have no evidence that this rule was widely accepted even in the other Culdean establishments. After the death of Maelruan Tallaght is forgotten, and the name Ceile-De disappears from the Irish annals until 919, when the Four Masters record that Armagh was plundered by the Danes but that the houses of prayer, "with the people of God, that is Ceile-De", were spared. Subsequent entries in the annals show that there were Culdees at Clonmacnoise, Clondalken and Clones, at Monahincha in Tipperary,and at Scattery Island. Secular priests assumed the name of Culdees, lived in community and subjected themselves to monastic discipline though not bound by monastic vows. At Clones, Devenish, and Scattery Island, "Culdee" and "canon" are interchangeable terms.[2]
The Danish wars affected the Culdee houses. Clondalken and Clones disappeared altogether. At Clonmacnoise, as early as the eleventh century, the Culdees were laymen and married, while those at Monahincha and Scattery Island gave way to the regular canons. At Armagh regular canons were introduced into the cathedral church in the twelfth century and took precedence over the Culdees, six in number, a prior and five vicars. These still continued a corporate existence, charged with the celebration of the Divine offices and the care of the church building: they had separate lands and sometimes charge of parishes. When a chapter was formed, about 1160, the prior usually filled the office of precentor, his brethren being vicars choral, and himself ranking in the chapter next to the chancellor. He was elected by his brother Culdees and confirmed by the primate, and had a voice in the election of the archbishop by virtue of his position in the chapter.
As Ulster was the last of the Irish provinces to be brought effectually under English rule the Armagh Culdees long outlived their brethren throughout Ireland. The Culdees of Armagh endured until the dissolution in 1541 and enjoyed a fleeting resurrection in 1627, soon after which their ancient property passed to the vicars choral of the cathedral.
The Icelandic Landnámabók (Book of Settlements) mentions that the Norse found Irish priests with bells and crosiers in Iceland when they arrived. This is also hinted at in the works of Dicuil. The Norse called the priests papar, a name found as an element in many placenames of Orkney, Shetland, the Faroes and Iceland. The traditional accounts state that the papar left when the Norse arrived. It has been suggested that their influence may have helped Christianity spread in Iceland but it is by no means clear that the papar were Culdee monks.
In Scotland Culdees were more numerous than in Ireland: thirteen monastic establishments were peopled by them, eight in connection with cathedrals. The Ionan monks had been expelled by the Pictish king Nechtan son of Derile in 717. There is no mention of any Culdees at any Columban monastery, either in Ireland or in Scotland, until long after Columba's time: in 1164 that Culdees are mentioned as being in Iona but in a subordinate position. The Culdee of Loch Leven lived on St Serf's Inch, which had been given them by a Pictish prince, Brude, about 700.[3] In 1093 they surrendered their island to the bishop of St Andrews in return for perpetual food and clothing but Robert, the bishop in 1144, handed over all their vestments, books, and other property, with the island, to the newly founded Canons Regular, in which the Culdees were likely incorporated.
The culdee chapel in St Andrews in Fife can be seen to the north-east of its ruined cathedral and city wall. It is dedicated to 'St Mary on the Rock' and is cruciform. It is used by the local St Andrews churches for their Easter morning service. In the early days there were several Culdee establishments in Fife, probably small rude structures accommodating 30 or 40 worshippers, and possibly such a structure stood at or near the present church. In 1075 AD the foundation charter of Dunfermline Church was granted by King Malcolm III, and amongst the possessions he bestowed on the church was the Shire of Kirkcaladinit, as Kirkcaldy was then known.[4] Crínán of Dunkeld, the grandfather of Máel Coluim III, was a lay abbot, and tradition says that even the clerical members were married, though unlike the priests of the Eastern Orthodox Church, they lived apart from their wives during their term of sacerdotal service.
The pictures that we have of Culdee life in the 12th century vary considerably. The chief houses in Scotland were at St Andrews, Scone, Dunkeld, Lochleven, Monymusk in Aberdeenshire, Abernethy and Brechin. Each was an independent establishment controlled entirely by its own abbot and apparently divided into two sections, one priestly and the other lay and even married. At St Andrews about the year 1100 there were thirteen Culdees holding office by hereditary tenure and paying more regard to their own prosperity and aggrandizement than to the services of the church or the needs of the populace. At Loch Leven there is no trace of such partial independence.
A controversial reform was inaugurated by Queen Margaret and carried through by her sons Alexander I and David I. Gradually the whole position passed into the hands of Thurgot and his successors in the bishopric. Canons Regular were instituted and some of the Culdees joined the new order. Those who declined were allowed a life-rent of their revenues and lingered on as a separate but ever-dwindling body till the beginning of the 14th century, when, excluded from voting at the election of the bishop, they disappear from history. In the same fashion the Culdee of Monymusk, originally perhaps a colony from St Andrews, became Canons Regular of the Augustinian order early in the 13th century, and those of Abernethy in 1273. At Brechin, famous like Abernethy for its round tower, the Culdee prior and his monks helped to form the chapter of the diocese founded by David I in 1145, though the name persisted for a generation or two.
By the end of the thirteenth century most Scots Culdee houses had disappeared. Some, like Dunkeld and Abernethy, were superseded by regular canons: others, like Brechin and Dunblane, were extinguished with the introduction of cathedral chapters. One at least, Monifieth, passed into the hands of laymen. At St. Andrews they lived on side by side with the regular canons and still clung to their ancient privilege of electing the archbishop. But their claim was disallowed at Rome, and in 1273 they were debarred even from voting. Before the Reformation they had finally disappeared, and in 1616 the lands they once held were annexed to the See of St. Andrews.
Similar absorptions no doubt account for the disappearance of the Culdees of York, the only English establishment that uses the name, borne by the canons of St Peter's about 925 where they performed in the tenth century the double duty of officiating in the cathedral church and of relieving the sick and poor. When a new cathedral arose under a Norman archbishop, they ceased their connection with the cathedral, but, helped by donations, continued to relieve the destitute. The date at which they finally disappeared is unknown. Nor do we know the fate of the Culdean house in Wales that existed at Snowdon and Bardsey Island in north Wales in the days of Giraldus Cambrensis, mentioned (c. 1190) in Speculum Ecclesiae and Itinerarium respectively. The former community was, he says, sorely oppressed by the covetous Cistercians. These seem to be the only cases where the term "Culdee" is found in England and Wales.
Hector Boece in his Latin history of Scotland (1516), makes the Culdees of the 9th to the 12th century the direct successors of the Irish and Ionan monasticism of the 6th to the 8th century. Some have suggested that these views were disproved by William Reeves (1815–1892), bishop of Down, Connor and Dromore. James A. Wylie (1808–1890) makes a strong case that the Culdees (Keledei) of Scotland are related to the Celtic Christian spirituality of the monks of Iona. Over the course of several hundred years, the Culdees of Scotland were edged out of positions of authority and temporal support by outside church officials brought into the country to dispossess existing local officials and end the independence of the Celtic Christian tradition. Wylie presents numerous historical references for the persecution of the Kelede by the Roman church and the opposition of Queen Margaret and King David I, staunch supporters of the continental church who would have no reason to fear a sect professing continental practices. If and to what extent the rise of these communities should be explained in terms of a religious and social movement of reform is a matter of some debate.
Another theory suggests that the Rule of Chrodegang, archbishop of Metz (d. 766), was brought by Irish monks to their native land from the monasteries of north-eastern Gaul, and that Irish anchorites originally unfettered by the rules of the cloister bound themselves by it. Those who accept the orthodox Roman viewpoint generally believe that the features of their life in Scotland, which would be the most important epoch in the history of the order, seem to resemble closely those of the secular canons of England and the continent. From the outset they were more or less isolated, and, having no fixed forms or common head, tended to decay.
Protestant writers alleged that the Culdees had preserved Celtic Christianity, free from supposed Roman corruptions, in one remote corner of western Europe. This view was enshrined in Thomas Campbell's Reullura:
For the older view, see J. Jamieson, Historical Account of the Ancient Culdees (1811).

Saturday, February 02, 2013
Well, one month of 2013 has come and gone. That month was interesting, to say the least. I am curious to see what February will bring.
First of all, thank you to all who voted to make my 5 year look-back blog a featured post! I am not sure I ever said out loud anywhere, but secretly I've always wanted a blog to be featured... I wanted to have something be inspiring to others. It was a great way to celebrate my 5 year milestone. I didn't expect it at all, honestly. And I couldn't believe I'd ever be inspirational to someone (or many someones!) else considering my journey has been more of the "slow and [sorta] steady" variety. 45lbs in 5 years doesn't seem like much to celebrate, but then I have to remind myself (because you wonderful SparkFriends remind me!) that everyone's journey is different. And it's true. I wish my journey would have seen more success in a shorter time, but that was not the way it was meant to be. And that's perfectly okay. When it seems like the journey is taking too long, remember what the destination will ultimately be. And I discovered a long time ago that my journey was less about weight loss and more about good health. I want to be healthy and happy... weight loss is just a bonus side-effect.
I noticed since moving away from San Diego that my blogs have more or less a "negative" tone to them. Yes, I am struggling to find my place here and I'm struggling to feel okay about this move. I hate it in my hometown and I really didn't want to ever have to move back in with my parents (especially right as I turned 30!). It's also natural and okay to be feeling those feelings. But, I can't let them take control. I'm working on being more positive. That saying "fake it 'til you make it" apparently has some merit... I've read if you don't feel happy to just smile anyway. Eventually that smile will be genuine and lift you out of your mood. That's kinda the approach I'll be taking. If I need to get something off my chest, I will, but otherwise, I'm really going to try to focus on the positives that are happening in my life.
Starting with school. Miraculously I was able to get into the statistics class I was crashing. Not that I want to be in that class since I'm terrible at and really hate math, but I need it to apply to a grad school, so I'll do it for the greater good. And at least its something to occupy my time. :-) I'm also in a Photoshop class, and so far I'm enjoying it. I've learned quite a bit already! Not anything of professional caliber, but that might come as the semester wears on. So far I can change eye color, lip color, add a window where there wasn't one, and change the background of an image. I'm hoping it'll help make my photos for my other blog better... speaking of which...
Feast your eyes and bellies on this! (I should mention I didn't Photoshop this photo, so don't judge too harshly...)
Also, this:
That one I did do a little bit of the ol' 'shoppin'... Just a touch, though. Like I said, I've learned a lot, but not enough to have pro-caliber photos.
Secondly, I have a tentative workout plan. I have to say this because it involves working out outdoors, which as I've mentioned before, won't fly come March or April when the temps go above 90*F. Daily. Even more so when they go above 110*F. DAILY. I'm going to check to see if my school's weight room/gym thingy has open gym hours. I'm not going to hold my breath, but it won't hurt to ask. My grandmother has offered me the use of her treadmill, but I have no way to get it to my house and no where to put it if I did get it here. Maybe I don't need to sleep on a bed... A pillow and some blankets could make the TREADMILL comfy to sleep on, right? HA! I kid. In the meantime, on Tuesdays and Thursdays when my brother goes to class, I can go walk on the track next to the school. Its one of those ones that has the lanes nicely painted and it's all squishy 'cuz it's made out of chopped up rubber tires or something. Anyway, I walked 2 miles on it on Thursday and had no problems with shin splints! However, it turns out 2 miles was a little much considering I haven't worked out in a REALLY, REALLY long time. I stretched after walking and even did a short warm up beforehand, but maybe a 16 minute mile walk was WAY too much for me. I should have started small and begun working my way back up to that level, but I figured time was of the essence. Also, it's not like I'm not active. Today, though... DOMS for the lose! As the day wore on, I became less and less able to function normally. Then I was unable to walk for more than a few steps at a time. So, I had to give myself the day off. Not like I had a plan anyway... no one was heading out to the school so I could walk the track. I need to figure out something else... and quick.
Well, I hope ya'll will consider following my other blog. I'm trying to reach more people so I can get more feedback on it. I'm going to be posting something small weekly, something big monthly (I hope), and photos for a little challenge I'm doing daily. All in an effort to keep positive.
Hmmm... I can't have a blog without a photo in it...
Some terribly unhealthy, but sinfully delicious, peanut butter cookies with a couple of melting chocolate chips on them.

What a great idea ! I never thought about adding avocado to egg salad. What a country ! Although, when I was in Italy, I had a sandwich (pannini) that was egg salad layered with marinated artichoke hearts. MAN that was yummy ! I do love a good egg salad sandwich.
You know, when I took statistics (a million years ago), I used a great supplemental book called How to Lie with Statistics. Fantastic book that really does make statistics fun ! check your school library. they have to have it.
And I know it's tough to be 30 and back home with the parents. It's happening to a lot of people. It's not you. It's the economy. Don't think of this as a step back. Think of this time back home as a stepping stone to something better !!
Yum, two of my other favorite things... peanut butter cookies and chocolate !

I am so glad you got into your class!!! I am excited for you even though it doesn't sounds like the most exciting class in the world.
It sounds like you are headed in the right direction and staying focused even under less than ideal circumstances sometimes.

"Fake it till you make it" is a good plan! It sounds like things are starting to turn around and definitely enjoy the outside workouts while you have the chance!!

Jill- so glad you got into that statistics class! You're getting it out of the way and it won't be hanging over your head once your done. Yay! I hope being back home stops feeling like such a heavy weight for you soon. :( Keep your chin up and keep that food blog going strong...I need a kitchen guru to follow, I don't have food network anymore! ;)

Cookies look divine! I took photoshop quite a few years ago and unfortunately, since I didn't use it often, I lost most of what I learned. Not to mention, that I now have a Mac and the software probably wouldn't reload! Smile, smile, smile. Let everyone wonder what you are up to! Going to dash and check out the other blog and the pics. Take care!

I'm right there with you on the whole trying to be more positive thing. We will cheer each other along, eh? YAY for photoshop! And a more subdued...yay for getting statistics out of the way.
I love your other blog, though admit to sometimes forgetting to check it. I wish I could get into the habit of using my RSS feed.

I understand this so well - hating the place you're at. I've found that I have to work hard to accept the things I cannot change. At least
for now.

Good Morning Dear Friend!
You are an inspiration and I am proud of you and all you have done!
You are a great example of slow and steady and how just deciding to take on health can make such a positive change over five years!
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers that a positive outcome will emerge from this difficult move!
Have a great weekend and hugs to you & Meow Meow (M&M)!

Agency to amend payment for third-party insurance coverage
Addis Ababa, 5 September 2014 (WIC) -The Insurance Fund Administration Agency (IFAA) said it has conducted a study to improve the amount of money vehicle owners pay to get third-party insurance coverage.
The amendment was made taking into account the current price for medical treatments and other compensation for the victims, public relations coordination head at IFAA, Zewdu Wondim, told WIC recently.
Some 360,000 vehicle got third-party insurance coverage last Ethiopian fiscal year. The plan was to provide the coverage for 400,000-800,000 vehicles, he said.
According to Zewdu, insurance companies have paid 68 million birr, while the agency provided over 886,000 birr in compensation for injuries and death occurred the same period.
The Ethiopian Insurance Fund Administration Agency (IFAA) was instituted in 2008.
IFAA has the vision to alleviate the social and economic hardship imposed on members of the society as a result of bodily injury, death and property damage arising from road vehicle accidents.

This 1971 Ford Bronco is an original Bill Stroppe Baja edition with a 351 Windsor and other custom touches. These trucks were patterned after Stroppe's Baja competing trucks, but with a more than 50% price premium over standard V8 Broncos only 650 were ever sold. The door inserts aren't an original Baja edition feature but fit well with the overall theme, and overall the truck sounds as if it's the product of a quality, detail oriented restoration. Find it here on eBay in La Center, Washington.
Also, regarding the "toggle switches", I think those are just the end shafts or pins that are holding the transfer case shifter bezel in place from above, in trans tunnel. I dont recall ever seeing a bolt like that but thats the right place for them. almost like a bolt with all its threads high on the shoulder and an alignment pin portion on the lower section. I dont know the right term for it, but Ive seen them.
@Varjak – that question always comes up…its funny which limited production cars or trucks must be all original to be the most valuable. NORMALLY, in my opinion yes, the more original and complete a rare or limited production vehicle is, the more valuable it should be. Not always the case though..DeTomaso Panteras for example…less than 7000 made, and widely accepted as more valuable customized versus original. Bajas are funny, minor mods like door inserts and bolt on parts, lifts, brakes etc seem to be fine, but I am surprised this one is doing so well without the original engine, or at least a period correct 302.
Let's see… where did I put that pedestal?
This is a truly nice piece. One that, unfortunately, out of respect for the work and expense, would not be hammered in the boonies the way it was supposed to be. Such a nice resto — I mean who wants to scuff up those painted surfaces in the footwells, sills, etc., get it all muddy and rock-chipped? Like some we see, it's been returned to better-than-new condition; it sure wasn't delivered looking this good. But the temptation — a 351 quad is sure going to lift your spirits in this chassis. Nice work, but I'm afraid she's destined to be a lawn queen.
and ya, I have two boys about that age that have grins that big too…they'd be bigger IN the truck tho. :-)
great pics.
ok guys….are those toggle switches above the "stroppe" raised lettering on whatever part it might be???
and what would they be for…?
It can't be original and have modifications….
That would make it a scizophonic Bronco not a so called Stroppe.
If a Bronco was taken to Stroppes in SoCal and they did a conversion to it……is it a Stroppe Bronco?
A 351…..hmmmm
This is all to hard to prove. Sorry to belabor the subject but you could buy the Stroppe items over the counter. I know……..I was alive then.
Having stated all of my ramblings……this is nice vehicle
Caveat Emptor
FYI the blackened hood on this special edition Baja was part of the stroppe package. I believe the hood scoop was as well as a very few rare Baja's had the hood scoop but not most. Similar to the hemi and big muscle car Mopar's of the 70s, the satin black hood was to keep glare down while racing across the desert. There are actually very few custom touches on this truck except for the door inserts and potentially the 351.
All I need for this is a beachfront shack in San Diego , an ample trust fund and this rig will take care of the rest….
I'm a Cherokee Chief man, but this is awesome. How would I put the car seats in the back…
Won't the Registry have that detail?
Stroppe………without original paper work, how do you prove it?
