(Reverend) Stephen BACHILER and Anne Bate
[F15160]. (Reverend) Stephen BACHILER. [
], [
(BACHELOR)(BACHELDER)(BACHILER-S3) (BATCHELDER)(BACHLER-S5)(BATCHILLER-S24). His name was usually spelled Bachiler, but his children in America used the name Batchelder.(S27).
Born (in 1561-S8,S25)(about 1561-S6,S7)(23 JUN 1561-S13,S28) at (South Stoneham-S?)(Stoneham-S13)(Wherwell-S25), Hampshire, England.(S13). He is said to be the son of
Philip BATCHELDER [F30320] and Anne FLANDERS [F30321]
Sanborn (S24) says:
All references that may be found in various places on this Internet to his "father" Philip Bachiler are incorrect and should be ignored or, preferably, corrected. Much research has been done to search for his parentage in England, but to date there has been no success.
"I knew nothing of Stephen Bachiler's parentage, but my daughter accidentally came across a father for him on the internet, and it named his father as Philip Bachiler, born 1535; and a mother, Ann, born in Flanders; and their natural son to be Stephen Bachiler, born 1561, with spouses Christian Weare, Helena Mason and Mary Beedle. However, George F. Sanborn founder and genealogist of the Sanborn Family Association, having investigated this, and having found no proof, rejects it."(S25).
There is recorded Stephen Bachiler's entry to St. John's College, Oxford University on 17 November 1581, at the age of twenty-one. He was admitted as a Bachelor of Arts on 3 February 1585-1586. The leading profession for college graduates in that day was that of Clergyman, and Mr. Bachiler determined to study for the ministry, at that time being a member of the established church. (S25).
Received B.A. from St. Johns College, Oxford on 3 February 1586-1587.
He became a Reverend. From St. John's College, Oxford, he was fortunate, indeed, to become a vicar at an early age. Little is known of his early ministry.
Apparently, the time between his graduation from Oxford in February 1585-1586 and 17 July 1587 was spent in preparation for his lifework. On this last date, 17 July 1587, the death of Edward Parret, vicar of Wherwell in Hampshire, made a vacancy. Stephen Bachiler was presented with the office by William West, Lord de la Ware , and became vicar of The Church Of Holy Cross and St. Peter. (This Lord de la Ware was the father of the Lord for whom Delaware was named.) (S25).
He married (1) Anne (BATE?) [F15161] (in 1580-1589-S6)(1586-S20)(about 1590-S7) at (Wherwell, Hampshire, England-S?)(at Southampton, England-S23).
Anne was the mother of all of his 6 children. (S6).
From 17 Jul 1587 to 1614 he resided at Wherwell, Hants, Eng.
In 1593, he was cited in Star Chamber for having "uttered in a sermon at Newberry, very lewd speeches tending seditiously to the derogation of Her Majesty's government." (S25).
Queen Elizabeth had an act passed against the Puritans in 1593 which gave the authorities the right to imprison the Puritans for failure to attend The Anglican Church. (S25).
(Star Chamber was formerly an English Court of Civil and Criminal Jurisdiction of Westminster. It had jurisdiction over forgery, perjury, riots, maintenance, fraud, libel, and conspiracy, and could inflict any punishment short of death. This court was abolished in 1640. (S25).
Its process was summary and often iniquitous (especially in the time of James I and Charles I). Jurors were punished for finding verdicts against the crown. This court approximated the methods of The Spanish Inquisition in extracting testimony.). (S25).
On the death of Elizabeth in 1603, James I, of the House of Stuart, came to the throne. In 1604 the famous or infamous Hampton Court Conference was held, when King James stormed out against the Puritans: "I will make them conform, or I will harry them out of the kingdom." The next year the king's threat was carried out against Stephen, and he suffered much at the hands of the bishops.
On the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, James VI of House of Stuart (son of Mary, Queen of Scots), ascended the English throne as James I. In January 1604, the famous Hampton Court Conference was held. When King James uttered his angry threat against the Puritans to Dr. Reynolds, the Puritan leader, "I will make them conform or I will harry them out of the Kingdom". (S25).
The presbyters or elders in the Scottish Church had always been a throne in James' royal side, so, when a delegation of bishops and other churchmen, including four Puritans, presented the list of requests for church reform at Hampton Court, he would only grant a few. To show that he meant business about his threat, James imprisoned the Puritans who presented the petition. (S25).
Thus James sealed his fate and that of the country; virtually signing the death-warrant of his son, Charles. If James had been less interested in showing off his theological knowledge; less frightened of falling into the Presbyterians hands (dissenters from whom he had escaped in Scotland); less consumed with his own idea of divine right at the Hampton Court Conference; and more willing to listen or accede even in a very small way to the moderate demands made by the reforming party within the reforming party within The Anglican Church, then probably, extreme radical Puritanism would not have come into being, and the Puritans who beset his son Charles would not have "harried him out of the land" via the headman's axe. (S25).
One good thing came out of the Hampton Court meeting. James accepted a proposal by one of the Puritans that the Bible then used, differed too much from the original Greek and Hebrew, and should be rewritten. James ordered that the most learned scholars at Oxford and Cambridge Universities work on translating a new Bible from the original languages. This resulted in the King James Bible (authorized version) still used today. The Pilgrims, however, used the Geneva Bible, first published in 1560, just after Elizabeth came to the throne. (This Bible has just been reprinted -- 1998, and has Puritan notes in the margin). (S25).
The dissenters were called Calvinists in Holland, Presbyterians in Scotland, Huguenots in France, and Puritans in England. Many went to Holland for refuge. (S25).
Stephen was ejected from his vicarage post in 1605 and was persecuted as one of the earliest of the non-conformists.
Of Mr. Bachiler's life at Wherwell, little is known. We only know that he remained there until 1605, for on the ninth day of August 1605, John Bate, A clergyman, was appointed Vicar of Wherwell . A vacancy existing because of "The ejection of Stephen Bachiler" , the last Vicar. (S25).
The next year, the King's threat was carried out against Stephen Bachiler. Winthrop said that Mr. Bachiler had suffered much at the hands of the Bishops, and in August 1605, he was replaced at Wherwell -- one of over one hundred who lost their pastorates because of James. Mr. Bachiler was among the first. (S25).
Mr. Bachiler embraced the "Puritan Doctrine" against the union of the church and state. He was considered a liberal Puritan, zealous of human rights. However, it seems that to the end of his life, he was constantly stepping on the toes of his parishioners. (S25).
Mr. Bachiler was excommunicated from the church, and so no church record exists showing his abiding places. Probably he preached to different congregations, not in a settled way, but when he could avoid the persecution of the church people.
It is thought, by some, that during the years from 1607 to 1620, Rev. Bachiler took refuge in Holland. We know his son-in-law, Rev. John Wing, husband of Mr. Bachiler's daughter Deborah, was pastor of an English church in Middleburgh, Holland, until he returned to England just prior to his death. (S25).
In 1610, he appears to still be a "Clergyman of the County of Southampton". (S25).
A case in Star Chamber reveals that Stephen Bachiler still resided in Wherwell in 1614. George Wighley, a minister and an oxford graduate, accused Stephen Bachiler, his son (Stephen), and John Bate of Wherwell, clerk, and others of libeling him by means of verses ridiculing him. In the course of the complaint, Wighley quotes John Bate as saying he would keep copy of the poem "As a monument of his Cousin's, the said Stephen Bachiler the younger, wit, who is in truth his cousin". (Star Chamber Proc. James I, 297/25, 1614).(S25).
His wife Ann apparently died about 1620, probably prior to his move to Newton Stacy.
All of Mr. Bachiler's children were by his first wife, Ann, who was possibly a sister of Rev. John Bate, who replaced Mr. Bachiler at Wherwell. Stephen Bachiler, Jr. called John Bate, Jr. "Cousin". (S25).
And on 11 June 1621, Adam Winthrop's diary says that he had "invited Mr. Bachiler, the preacher" to dine with him, presumably at Groton in Suffolk. (S25).
In the year 1622, there are records of land transactions near Newton Stacy, England, by Mr. Bachiler; so it is known that some time prior to 1622, he returned to England -- if he ever did leave England except for visits to Holland. (S25).
WIFE (2): Christian WEARE. MARRIAGE: 2 MAR 1623/1624, Abbots-Ann,Hants, England.
Mr. Bachiler's second wife was Christian Weare, widow. They were married at Abbots Ann, 2 March 1623/4. (S25).
Wife (2) Christian Weare died between 1624 and 1627.
He married (3) Helen, MARRIAGE: 26 MAR 1627, Abbots-Ann,Hants,England.
His third wife was Helena Mason, widow of Rev. Thomas Mason. They were married 26 March 1627. She accompanied him to America, and was the "lusty comely woman." (S25). [This is incorrect. Helen apparently died in England. Winthrop's statement in his journals that Mr. Bachiler had to the time of his marriage in Hampton, ""esteemed the pure life," is further indication that he remained unmarried from his arrival in New England until his fourth marriage about 1647.].
During the year 1629, a colonizing society "The Plough Company" was encouraging emigrants to go to New England. Mr. Bachiler invested one hundred pounds in the company (and loaned them more). He was determined to leave England for New England. It was during this year that Rev. John Wing, husband of Deborah Bachiler, wrote his will in London, and died 4 August 1630. Deborah, now a widow with three grown sons, made the decision to emigrate to America with her father. The three sons of her sister Ann, wife of Rev. John Sanborn, were also to make the journey with their grandfather. (S25).
The Colony was called "Lygonia" after Cecily Lygon, mother of New England Council president Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Bachiler was to be its minister and leader. Although the settlers sailed to America in 1631, the project was abandoned.(S26).
The "Plough Company" was made up of a group of dissenters. Some time during 1629/30, they named Mr. Bachiler their pastor. The "Plough Company" applied for a land grant in Maine. This effort was spearheaded by Richard Dummer, who is often called a "kinsman" or Mr. Bachiler. Richard Dummer, in a letter to Nathaniel Bachiler (son of Stephen, addressed him as "cussin". (S25).
Richard Dummer's first wife was Stephen Bachiler's step-daughter, being a daughter of Rev. Thomas and Helena Mason. Mrs. Helena Mason, widow, became Mr. Bachiler's third wife, and is the one who accompanied him to America. Her daughter was Frances Mason Dummer. (S25). [It is apparently not true that Helen accompanied him to New England].
Some of the parishioners of Barton Stacy in Hampshire, a few miles east of Wherwell, listened to his sermons at some time before 1632, for we find that Sir Robert Paine petitioned the council, stating that he was Sheriff of Hampton in that year and was also chosen church warden of Barton Stacy, and that some of the parishioners, petitioners tenants, having been formerly misled by Stephen Bachiler, a notorious inconformist, had demolished a consecrated chapel at Newton Stacy, neglected the repair of the parish church, maliciously opposed petitioners' intent(that he should repair the church at his own expense), and executed many things in contempt of the canons and the Bishop.(S25).
There are gaps in the English career of Stephen Bachiler. It would appear that he lived at Wherwell for most of the years from his induction there as vicar in 1587 until 1614, and that he then resided in Newton Stacy from 1614 to 1631. Shortly before his departure for New England. (S25).
He apparently lived briefly at South Stoneham, Hampshire, after disposing of his land at Barton Stacy, for that is the residence he gave for himself and his wife, Helena, (age 48), and his widowed daughter, Ann Sanborne (age 30), then living in "ye stand", to go to Flushing, Holland, for two months to visit his sons and daughters". This request was made 23 June 1631. Previously his daughter, theodate (theo-dah-tay) and her husband, Christopher Hussey, had been dispatched to the new world. It may be that Deborah Wing, his daughter had to returned to her old home in middleburgh, Holland. (S25).
Flushing is in Zealand near Middleburgh. Probably Mr. Bachiler's children and grandchildren were on the island of Walcheren, which contains both Flushing and Middleburgh. (S25).
Mr. Bachiler had three sons: Nathaniel who was a merchant; Stephen, who served as chaplain to Sir Charles Morgan in Holland; and Samuel, who was a minister in Sir Charles Morgan's fighting regiment in Holland. That same year Samuel was offered a pastorate in Flushing, but he declined. He preached "in the Armie" at Danger-Leager, and to the English at Gorinchem and Amsterdam. He wrote a book in 1625 of meditations on Deuteronomy 23:9-14 "When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing -- for the Lord God walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that he seeth no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
There is a three page preface to his book addressed "to all my deare and loving countrymen in service to the states of the United Provinces, the Honorable Officers, and all honest souldiers of the English Nation residing in the Netherlands, and specially (as service bindeth me) to those of Gorcum in Holland." (S25).
In 1631 he was residing at S. Stoneham, Hants, Eng.
In 1631, Stephen went to Holland to visit his children. It was here that his daughter, Theodate, met Christopher Hussey, who became enamoured of her. He sought her hand, and Stephen consented to the union only if they would accompany him to America.
On 9 March 1632, the Bachiler's boarded the ship William and Francis from London; Rev. Bachiler and his third wife, Helena; his widowed daughter, Deborah Wing, and her three sons, Daniel, John, and Stephen; also three Sanborne grandsons (Stephen, John, and William). (S25). [Helena probably died in England before this].
From the "Planters of the Commonwealth", passengers and ships, page 96 -- ship:
William and Francis
. Mr. ----- Thomas, Master. Left London 9 March 1632. Arrived New England 5 June 1632, with about sixty passengers (per John Winthrop, Journal I, pp. 80,81). Rev. Stephen Bachiler of Newton Stacy, County Hampshire, England; Mrs. Helen Bachiler; John Sanborn, William Sanborn, Stephen Sanborn. (no mention of Deborah and her three sons. Perhaps they were listed separately or came on another ship).
The crossing was difficult. They were at sea for eighty-eight days. At this time, Mr. Bachiler was seventy-one years of age. (S25).
The cargo Mr. Bachiler brought with him is as follows (S25):
Four hogsheads of peas,
Twelve yards of cloth,
Two hundred yards of list,
Oaken furniture,
and a collection box.
From the "Planters of the Commonwealth", passengers and ships, page 96 -- "ship: William and Francis". Mr. ----- Thomas, Master. Left London 9 March 1632. Arrived New England 5 June 1632, with about sixty passengers (per John Winthrop, Journal I, pp. 80,81). Rev. Stephen Bachiler of Newton Stacy, County Hampshire, England; Mrs. Helen Bachiler; John Sanborn, William Sanborn, Stephen Sanborn. (no mention of Deborah and her three sons. Perhaps they were listed separately or came on another ship).
Mr. Bachiler left England for Boston in 1632 aboard the William and Francis, with sixty passengers. After eighty-eight days they landed at Boston. Among his fellow travelers were Governor Winslow of Plymouth and a Mr. Richard Dummer. A relationship existed between the Bachilers and the Dummers no one to date has been able to trace. Records have been found in which Dummer referred to Stephen Batchelder as 'cusson'.
He came shortly there after the death of Helen to New England with his widowed daughter Anne. He was then age 71. They set sail from England on 5 JUN 1632 on the
William and Francis
His first residence was in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (S27).
Upon arrival in New England, Mr. Bachiler and his party proceeded to Saugus (now Lynn), Massachusetts, where his daughter, Theodate, and her husband, Christopher Hussey resided.(S25).
Of his known children, only Theodate and Deborah came to New England.
By 1635 he was in Lynn (then Saugus), Massachusetts.
On his first Sunday in Lynn, Mr. Bachiler baptised four children. The first white child born in Lynn was Thomas Newhall, who was presented first for baptism. It has been said Mr. Bachiler put him aside and said "I will baptise my own child first", meaning Stephen, son of Christopher and Theodate Hussey. (S25).
He incurred the hostility of the Puritan theocracy in Boston, casting the only dissenting vote among ministers against the expulsion of Roger Williams.(S26). The decree of banishment for Roger Williams was given on 19 OCT 1635, carried into effect Jan., 1636. (S26).
Before Mr. Bachiler had been preaching four months at Lynn, he came under "suspicion" of having independent ideas, which he was not willing to yield to the dictates of others. The General Court passed the following order: "3 October 1632, Mr. Bachiler is required to forebear exercising his gifts as a pastor and teacher publiquely in or pattent, unless it be to those hee brought with him, for his contempt for authority and until some scandles be removed." It was considered "scandlous" to conduct worship in any way not approved of by the rulers, but, after five months the prohibition was removed, and he was free to gather a church in Massachusetts. (S25).
He went on to preach in Massachusetts Bay Colonies, including Ipswich, Yarmouth and Newberry. At Ipswich, he was granted fifty acres of land. His stay there was short. (S25).
During 1637-8, he settled in Yarmouth. At that time, he was seventy-six and he went all the way on foot in a very hard season. (S25).
In 1636 he was at Ipswich, Massachusetts; about 100 miles from Yarmouth.
While a resident of Ipswich, MA, he undertook a plan for founding a plantation at Mattakeese (now Yarmouth) some 100 miles away on Cape Cod. According to Winthrop's book on New England, "Mr. Batchellor, late pastor at Saugus (since called Lynn), being about 76 years of age walked thither on foot in a very hard season."(S29).
In 1638 he was in Newbury, Massachusetts.
In Newberry, he received a grant of land in 1638. (S25).
His next move was to Newbury, MA, where land had been granted to him on 6 July 1638. In October of that year, based on his petition, the General Court of Massachusetts granted, "Stephen Bachiler and his company" liberty to begin a plantation at Winnicunnet. On 16 October 1638, settlement was begun, the journey from Newbury, MA, having been made on a shallop (a small boat). On 7 June 1639, the plantation was made a town and, upon Rev. Bachiler's request, was named Hampton, NH. Here he organized a church and was pastor of that church, probably the oldest church in New Hampshire. In 1644, he was called to Exeter, NH, but was prohibited from preaching there by the General Court. In 1644, after the death of his second [Third-Helena] wife, he sold his farm in Hampton, NH. Before 1647, he moved from Hampton, NH, to Strawberry Banke (now Portsmouth), NH. On 16 April 1647, he deeded all his remaining estate in Hampton, NH, to his three grandsons, John and William Sanborne and Nathaniel Batchelder.(S29).
It was soon after this, the General Court of Massachusetts gave him liberty to begin a plantation at Winnacunnet. It was at the request of Mr. Bachiler that the name of Winnacunnet was changed to Hampton. (Ref: New Hampshire Provincial Papers, Vol. I, Pg. 151) Soon after going there he sold his land in Newberry, and in 1639, as pastor at Hampton, he was granted three hundred acres of land for a farm, in addition to his house-lot. (S25).
He was a founder of Hampton, Rockingham County New Hampshire in 1638.(S1). He was a leader of the settlement of Hampton, NH, and is said to have named the town.
The church Mr. Bachiler organized at Hampton is now the oldest Congregational Society in New Hampshire and the second oldest continuous church fellowship in the United States. The original church was a frame building 40 feet by 22 feet. It was a plain building without chimney or stove, with pulpit, and seats, which were probably without backs, where men and women sat apart. (The first year they worshiped in a structure of logs.) (S25).
Sometime during his stay in Hampton, his house burned and he suffered great loss. The greatest loss was his library. It was valued at two hundred pounds! (S25).
The period from 1638 to 1644 was a time of vast differences between Mr. Bachiler and his parishioners. He was prohibited from preaching. In fact, he was excommunicated! (S25).
Excommunicated by the Church at Boston in 1641 on unfounded charges of "scandal", later reinstated, he went as missionary to Strawberry Bank (now Portsmouth, N.H.) about 1644.(S26).
In a letter addressed to Governor John Winthrop, he complained bitterly of Timothy Dalton, teacher at the Hampton church of which Mr. Bachiler was pastor (S25):
First Congregational Church
Hampton, N.H.
"I see not how I can depart till I have, God forgive me, cleared and vindicated the cause and wrongs I have suffered of the church I yet live in; that is from the teacher (indeed) who hath done all and been the cause of all the dishonor that hath acrew'd to God, shame to myself, and griefs to all God's people. By his irregular proceedings and abuse of the power of the church in his hand by the major part cleaving to him, being his countrymen and acquaintance in old England.
"The teacher's act of his excommunicationing me would prove the foulest matter, both for the cause alleged of that excommunication, and the impulsive cause (even wrath and revenge), and also the manner of all his preceding throughout to the very end; and lastly, his keeping me under bonds."
On 20 Apr 1647 he was residing at Strawberry Bank, NH During April of 1647, Mr. Bachiler left Hampton and removed to Portsmouth, New Hampshire (then called Strawbery Banke). Winthrop wrote in his journals that Mr. Bachiler had to that time esteemed the pure life, but at the age of eighty, solicited the chastity of his neighbor's wife. Winthrop added that Mr. Bachiler then had "a lusty comely woman as his wife". (S25).
Shortly after his removal to Strawbery Banke, Mr. Bachiler's "usual good sense" "seems to have deserted him." He was now a widower and obtained for a housekeeper, a young widow, whom he called "an honest neighbor." He commented to John Winthrop that his neighbors seemed to think it unseemly -- so he married her, and the match was very unfortunate. It must have taken place when he was eighty-six or eighty-seven years old. She was sixty years younger than he was. Her name was Mary Bailey, widow of Robert Beedle, a fisherman/farmer, by whom she had two children -- a daughter, Elizabeth, and a son, Christopher. (S25).
The exact date of Stephen's marriage to Mary is unknown, because he performed the ceremony and failed to publish it, an omission for which he was fined ten pounds, later lowered to five pounds. (S25).
He married (3) widow Mary BEEDLE. She was a much younger woman and he was age 87. After a while, Mary's eyes began to wander to the younger, more romantic men in Hampton, New Hampshire. Her new love, George Rodgers, fathered a child, obviously not that of the very elderly Reverend BACHELDER. The young man was sentenced to forty strokes and was driven out of town. Mary was given forty one strokes and was ordered to wear the letter "A" of a good size, and contrasting color upon her clothes. One version of the tale is that Reverend BACHELDER refused to give Mary a divorce so that she could marry George, and that he returned to England, leaving her and her baby as burdens upon the town of Hampton, unable to marry a man willing to care for them.(S2).
Mary began an affair with their young next door neighbor, George Rogers, and having been found out, she was subsequently sentenced by the Georgiana (York) Court to be flogged and branded with the letter "A". George Rogers also was to be flogged with forty stripes save one. Mary was to receive hers at the first Kittery Town Meeting six weeks after the birth of her child by George Rogers. The court also ordered Stephen Bachiler and Mary to live together as man and wife, or else! Instead, he took refuge with his grandson in Hampton. (S25).
About 1647, he married his third wife and this marriage proved to be a disaster. "At a General Court held at Gorgeanna, 15 October 1650, George Rogers and Mrs. Batcheller were accused of living in one house and in one room and were ordered separated before the next court or to pay 40s. Stephen charged his wife with adultery and prayed for a divorce and, it seems, Mary moved for a divorce also. The court in October of the same year ordered, "That Mr. Bachiler and his wife shall lyve toeagther as man and wife, as in this court they have publiquely professed to doe; and if either desert one another, then hereby the Court doth order that the marshal shall apprehend both the said Mr. Batchelor and Mary his wife, and bring them forth to Boston, there to be kept till the next Quarter Court of Assistants, that further consideration thereby may be had, both of them moving for a divorce; and this order shall be sufficient order soe to doe; provided notwithstanding, that if they put in 50 pounds each of them for their appearance...." Pierce, Batchelder Genealogy, p. 36. This seems a strange order to us today and as far as we know, a divorce was not granted. According to York court records of 15 October 1651, Mary Bachiler was accused and found guilty of adultery with her punishment, "... shall receive forty stripes save one, at the first town meeting held at Kittery, 6 weeks after her delivery, and be branded with the letter A." This with the other problems he had constantly with the authorities wherever he lived, his power of attorney, given to his son-in-law, Christopher Hussey, approved by Hampton (NH) Court in November of 1654, apparently prompted Stephen to leave the country and return to England where the state of political affairs had eased. He died there in 1660. Mary's claim, in her petition for divorce, that Stephen married again after returning to England seems to be without foundation.(S29).
Batchelder returned to Engl. prob. by Oct 1651.(S24).
Stephen Bachiler wanted to escape this woman, and England seemed the place to go, for political affairs in England had changed. The commonwealth had been established and Oliver Cromwell had become Lord Protector. It has been said that Mr. Bachiler and Cromwell had been friends. Whether that was true or not, his friends were now at the head of affairs in England now and his enemies had been defeated. His son-in-law, Christopher Hussey, helped fit him for the journey back to England in 1654. (S25).
In June 1654, the court ordered Thomas Hanscom, age 31, "not to live with Mary Bachiler". Further investigation reveals Mary's plight. At the October 1651 adultery trial, both she and Mr. Bachiler sought divorce, but were denied it. By that time, Hanscom was living with Mary, her legal husband was in England, where he remained until his death. Mary had found an attractive man from the Hanscom shipbuilding family, but was barred from legally marrying him. Finally, Mary was granted a divorce in 1656 (ironically, Stephen Bachiler was buried just seventeen days after Mary was granted the divorce). She told the court that Stephen had gone to England where he had taken another wife (absolutely no records confirm this), and she said she needed freedom to remarry for assistance in raising her two ailing children, and to conserve her estate. In 1657, she married Thomas Turner and became a respectable, successful, church-going woman, active in community affairs. (S25).
A book written in 1910 states that Mary Magdalene Bailey Beedle Bachiler Turner was the woman upon whom Nathaniel Hawthorne patterned Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter". The evidence is strong that Hester Prynne was a character derived from Hawthorne's extensive knowledge of the history of Kittery in colonial times. (S25).
He died in 1656 (S5,S6) at (Hackney or Harkney, Middlesex-S1 and/or S2))(London-S6,S7), England.
He was buried 31 OCT 1656, All Hallows Staining Church, London, Middlesex, England. (S3,S7), not (in 1660-S1 and/or S2,S8) as is often said.
That Mr. Bachiler returned to England in old age, after the collapse of his fourth marriage, has long been known. Reports that he died in Hackney, Middlesex, in 1660, aged 100 years, appeared in print, but were long ago disproved. These were based partly on tradition that he lived to a great age and died in England, and partly on a hasty conclusion made in error by someone reading material published in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Vol. VIII. - Fourth Series. (Boston, Mass.: The Society, 1868), 583-584. This error showing him dying in Hackney aged 100 years was caught many years ago and corrected in the "Additions and Corrections" to the Genealogical Dictionary (supra, 781). People still, however, persist in carrying on this incorrect information which actually pertains to a Rev. John Bachiler who died in Hackney in 1674! (S24).
"…a 1656 entry at Allhallows Staining, London, states 'Steeven Batchiller, minister, that died at Robert Barbers, was buried in the new churchyard Oct. 31, 1656.' John Goode was parish rector 1654-1662, so this entry does not relate to a rector of the parish and would appear to be our… ancestor."(S24).
"Steeven Batchiller Minester that dyed att Robert Barbers was buryed in the new church yard Octob 31th 1656"(S24).
The Churchwardens' Accounts for Allhallows Staining survive from a very early date, and reveal another bit of information (MS 4956/3, Guildhall Library, London). Receipts include payment for burials, and the payments took the form of donations, poor relief, and the like, as well as routine expenses. On page 193, for the year 1656, Mr. Wood found:
Receipts by Richard Pockley, churchwarden:
"Received for Stephen Bachilers knell Ł 000 s. 01 d. 06" (S24).
The receipt of 1s. 6d. for Stephen Bachiler's knell is in the midst of receipts described as for burials, and there is no mention of payment for his burial also. It would thus seem (were this not contradicted by the parish register itself) that he was buried elsewhere, and only the tolling of the bell was performed for him at this church. Very few other entries are for knells. (S24).
Evidently, then, Rev. Stephen Bachiler was buried in the new churchyard of Allhallows Staining on 31 October 1656, presumably aged above 90 years, as he had matriculated at St John's College, Oxford, on 17 November 1581, and would later give his age as 71 years upon his arrival in the Massachusetts Bay Colony aboard the William and Francis on 5 June 1632 (Genealogical Dictionary, 81).
The church of Allhallows Staining was rebuilt in 1674, three years after it had collapsed while the sexton was digging a grave. It is believed that centuries of burials inside the church and near the foundation on the outside had actually undermined the otherwise sturdy edifice. The tower, and that part of the west end of the old church immediately attached to it, did not fall (Rev. Alfred Povah, D.D., The Annals of the Parishes of St. Olave Hart Street and Allhallows Staining, in the City of London [London: The United Parishes, 1894], 317-320]). The church of Allhallows Staining stood on the west side of Mark Lane near its northern end, just south of Fenchurch Street. The church was taken down in 1870 when the parish was united with the parish of St Olave Hart Street. The tower, built in the 15th Century, was preserved and a small but pleasant garden created around it. An engraving showing the interior of the church, and one showing a splendid view of the outside, may be seen on pages 319 and 330, respectively, of the above-cited work. In 1873, when the churchyard, situated in Star Alley, Mark Lane, was laid out as a garden, the old gravestones, with three exceptions, were covered with earth, but an accurate plan had been made of the churchyard, indicating the gravestones in their several positions, and a copy of all the legible inscriptions was annexed to the plan. A copy of the plan, with the inscriptions, was preserved among the parish records of Allhallows Staining (ibid., 329). Evidently, none could be found for Mr. Bachiler. (S24).
It is ironic that Mr. Bachiler was apparently buried just seventeen days after his fourth wife petitioned for a divorce in New England, alleging that he had gone to England many years since and married again (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D., Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. Vol. IV.-Part I. 1650-1660. [Boston, Mass.: The Legislature, 1854], 282; Massachusetts Archives, Massachusetts State Archives, Boston, 9:28; , 81-82 [which would date the petition thirteen days before the minister's burial]). There is no evidence that he did, in fact, marry again in England, and he could not have been there more than two years. It is not clear whether the divorce was ever granted. Such matters were then heard by the Court of Assistants of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the records for the relevant period of time are missing and presumed destroyed. Perhaps word of the old man's death arrived before the Court could consider the petition, thus making it redundant. (S24).
Rev. Stephen Bachiler's personal chair is on loan at the New Hampshire Historical Society.
Mr. Bachiler was a tall and sinewy man, with prominent features. Especially his nose, a very dark complexion, coarse black hair in his younger days, white in age, mouth large and firm, eyes as black as sloes, features long rather than broad, a strong clear voice, rather slow of motion and speech, simple in dress, obstinate and tenacious of his opinions to a marked degree, a powerful preacher drawing largely from scripture, impress the hearers with the uncommon power and sanctity of his sermons, strong in his friendships and in his hates. (From: "The History of Hampton, N.H." by [Joseph] Dow). (S25).
"…he had that firmness which rendered him utterly unmovable regardless of consequences to himself, when conscious that his motives and judgment were right." (S22).
Mr. Bachiler was a man of rare physical and intellectual vigor. Winthrop classed him among "honest men." (S25).
Rev. Cotton of Boston in a letter said, "I find he was a gentleman of learning and ingenuity, and wrote a fine and curious hand." (S25).
[F15161]. Anne BATE. [
Born in 1561 at Wherwell Hampshire England; probably the daughter of
, and the sister of Reverend John BATE. She was said to be christened in 1571 at Norwich, Norfolk, England.
She married Stephen BACHILER [F15160] (in 1580-1589-S6)(1586-S20)(about 1590-S7) at (Wherwell, Hampshire, England-S?)(at Southampton, England-S23).
She died (about 1620-1624-S?)(before 2 MAR 1623-1624-S?) in England.
Further evidence that his first wife and mother of all his children was probably a sister of Rev. John Bate, Bachiler' successor at Wherwell, Hampshire, was discovered by Charles Edward Banks in an English court record (Court of Requests, Public Record Office, London. REQ2/678/64, dated 2 November 15 Charles I [1639]), and preserved by Charles Hull Batchelder in his extensive manuscript collection on the family at the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord. A photocopy of the original large vellum document of this suit, and a careful transliteration of it, have recently been received by the writer. (S24).
A suit was brought against John Bate, son of Rev. John Bate, thus establishing the basis of family connection between Bate, Bachiler, and Mrs. Atkinson, among others; also giving evidence that Stephen Bachiler's first wife, Ann, mother of all his children, was possibly sister of Rev. John Bate, Mr. Bachiler's successor at Wherwell in Hampshire. This was discovered by Charles Edward Banks in an English court record (Court of Requests, Public Record Office, London, Req. 2/678/64, dated 2 November 15th Charles I (1639)) and preserved by Charles Hull Batchelder in his extensive manuscript collection on the family at The New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord [NH]. A photocopy of the original large vellum document of this suit, and a careful transliteration of it, were received by George Freeman Sanborn, Jr., who is the founder and first president of the Sanborn Family Association (Founded 1984). (Source: The New Hampshire Genealogical Record, whole number 29 -- January 1991 -- Volume 8, Number 1, Pg. 14).(S25).

Anderson, Robert Charles, "The Great Migration Begins," (1995). Vol. 1, pgs. 61-69.(S?) Mr. Bachiler's daughter, Ann Sanborne was widowed by the time she was thirty. She remarried secondly by a license issued at Rochester, in Strood, Kent, on 20 January 1631/2 (Strood, Kent, Parish Register, Kent Record Office, Maidenstone, Kent), as "Mrs. Anne Sanborne" to "Mr. Henry Atkinson".(S25).

The funny thing about expectations is that they're hardly ever met.
But around this time of year, for a little while, anyway, we New Yorkers shed those cloaks of cynicism, and allow ourselves to bask in the glow of hope. Holiday-fueled optimism was (mostly) on full display in the Garden during yesterday's season-opening tilt against the Boston Celtics, but wrapped up in the shiny Christmas victory-package was something altogether more wonderful: legitimacy.
You could hear it in Mike D'Antoni's voice during his post-game press conference. You could see it in the way that the Knicks gave it their all on defensive rotations. You could sense it as Carmelo Anthony lined up another "no, no, no, no, no… yessssssss" three-pointer. You could literally feel it in your Elven-slippers as the Garden shook under the weight of the fans' raucous cheers.
This is a legitimate basketball team that now resides in the World's Most Famous Arena, and everybody knows it.
- Criticism of Carmelo Anthony, by the media and fans alike, is nothing new, but if yesterday was any indication, the Knicks' "best player," as anointed by D'Antoni, is on a mission to dispel any notion that his game is flawed. The man was a force on both ends of the floor, an assassin in crunch-time, and if there was any doubt that 'Melo is capable of being an efficient player, that doubt was erased. Anthony dropped 37 points on Boston (10-of-17, 4-of-4 from downtown) and grabbed 8 rebounds, but the most telling number for the Knick forward was his team-leading +15. What should alarm Knick fans, however, is how the team absolutely lost its way when 'Melo was on the bench (he may need to play 3,000 minutes this season), so don't be surprised to see MDA stagger his rotation to feature Amar'e Stoudemire when the former needs a blow.
- "D-FENCE!" Not since the days of Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason has that chant actually meant something in the Mecca, but yesterday's defensive effort by the Knicks – absent that horrific 3rd quarter – was relatively outstanding. The newly-acquired Tyson Chandler played far better than the stat sheet indicates – just 7 points on 1-of-2 shooting with 3 rebounds – and his vociferous direction of the team's defense was heard early, loud and often. Oh, those six blocks? Yes, please! Anyone watching yesterday's game also surely noticed a distinct temperance emanating from Kevin Garnett (at least during the game), and one can't help but think that the presence of Chandler has irrevocably altered the dynamic in the paint between the two clubs.
- Throughout D'Antoni's tenure with the Knicks, we have seen a fairly consistent pattern of highs and lows, both in-season (typical for any team) and in-game (worrisome for any alleged contending-team). Yesterday was no different. New York came out with a sense of purpose initially, lost their way before the half, and practically imploded in the 3rd quarter – 20-2 runs by your opponent do warrant the oft-used implosion-reference. The striking difference yesterday was in the way that these Knicks summoned their intestinal fortitude in the 4th quarter, and despite bending farther than than your average contortionist, refused to break. Not when KG was repeatedly draining 18-footers as a result of New York's proclivity to switch on man-to-man defense, not when everyone in the building expected Ray Allen to start hitting three-pointers, not even when Anthony inadvertently dribbled the ball off his leg with 53 seconds left on the clock. If these new-look Knicks play with the same level of heart and determination that was on display versus the Celtics, good things are going to happen.
- Santa left a lump of coal in Iman Shumpert's Christmas stocking. The rookie, who despite missing some easy shots – and taking way too many attempts (13 shots in 22 minutes) – was perhaps the most athletic player on the floor before straining the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Shumpert will be out for two to four weeks, and an already-thin New York backcourt must now rely on (gasp) Mike Bibby. Ironically, the injury was caused by a clumsily-falling Chris Wilcox, which is pretty much how most fans remember the former-Knick.
- Landry Fields (7 points, 2 rebounds and a telling -11) remains enshrouded in last season's fog, and considering the team's lack of backcourt depth, there isn't much that can be done about it. Fields was mostly invisible throughout the game, connecting on a first half three-pointer and then proceeding to look mostly confounded on defense by Ray Allen (20 points on 7-for-12 shooting), who put on a screen-clinic. My position on Fields remains the same. He is a smart and likeable player, who at this point in his young-career does nothing to distinguish himself on the floor. Put-backs are fun and all, but he is going to need to demonstrate more at this level to survive as a starting SG.
- Just as Chandler's stats didn't tell the complete story about his game, Amar'e Stoudemire's line was more misleading than it was impressive. Sure, he poured in 21 points on 8-of-11 from the field (he also made good on that rumored prowess from long-range, hitting on both of his attempts), but as usual, his defense and rebounding left a lot to be desired. For me, Stoudemire's inability or unwillingness to box anyone out is the most glaring defect in his overall game. It's almost as if STAT's goggled eyes instinctively follow the arc of errant shot attempts, rather than immediately locking onto an opposing player that needs to be bodied-up. Whether it's intentional, or simply a lack of coaching, there is no excuse for a 6'11" athlete with Amar'e's physical gifts to be out of position on the defensive boards. On the offensive end, especially considering the lack of chemistry between Stoudemire and Anthony to date, crashing the boards would seem an obvious way to make good things happen.
- Toney Douglas is not a point guard. And neither is Shumpert, as least not yet, he isn't. The two Knick guards combined for a whopping 32 shot attempts – and Shumpert only played 22 minutes! To put that into perspective, STAT 'n 'Melo took 28 shots in total. Enough said.
- The Knicks have no answer for Rajon Rondo. That said, if Rondo demonstrates consistency from the mid-range, as he did yesterday, no one else in the league will have an answer for him, either. The Boston PG is one of the most dynamic talents any of us have ever seen, and Danny Ainge would do well to figure out a way to move beyond Rondo's alleged attitude problems. There is simply no reason not to rebuild around him once their Big-3 is no more.
- Kevin Garnett is still a complete (insert adjective here).
- It didn't take Amar'e very long to pick up his first technical foul of the season, but this one seemed fairly unjust from the whistle-happy Joey Crawford; the league may rescind it.
- The surviving member of the legendary RUN-DMC, Darryl McDaniels, performed "Christmas in Hollis" during the halftime show. The fans were disappointed that John McClain's limo driver, Argyle, was not invited to appear.
- There are rumors floating around that Nate Robinson, recently waived, might be an option for the Knicks. No, just no.
- I survived my first game as a credentialed "journalist," and I can't wait to build on the experience. It seemed like most of writers are fairly immune to the wow-factor of the entire process, but for a Bronx-born, non-professional like me, the entire day was fantastic. Oh, and regarding that certain brash and controversial television, radio and internet personality, yes, he's just as insufferable in a real life as he is on the airwaves and Interwebs.

Health Care Fraud Lawyers
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
What Is Health Care Fraud?
As the United States moves toward a health care system that is profit-seeking and funded by private insurance companies, it is natural for clinics, hospitals, and doctors to want to make a profit too. In their zeal to make a profit, however, health care providers may step outside the bounds of honesty and commit fraud, even against public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Health care fraud occurs when medical providers lie to insurance companies about medical procedures performed, in order to receive insurance payouts.
Is Healthcare Fraud a Criminal Offense?
Health care fraud is specifically addressed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which made it a federal criminal offense carrying a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Violators of this prohibition against healthcare fraud often end up in a minimum security federal prison for white collar offenses. Most significantly, perhaps, substantial fines can be imposed.
What Are Examples of This Kind of Fraud?
Forms of health care fraud are as broad as the imagination. The most common form is billing for procedures never performed or for more expensive procedures than were performed, known as "upcoding". Homeless people and low-income workers have been invited to get free shots or simply sign a sheet for $25, and then the medical provider claims services that never occurred. "Unbundling", where each step of a health care procedure is billed as if it were a separate and more expensive procedure, is also very common.
Another health care fraud scheme is misdiagnosing a falsely severe diagnosis in order to justify the treatment, and then performing unnecessary and dangerous procedures. Medical providers can also accept kickbacks for patient referrals. Another scheme is stealing identities in order to submit totally false claims.
These health care fraud schemes can be very lucrative. However, there are two sides of the story, and health care fraud can be committed by the insurance companies in their never-ending goal of avoiding and delaying payouts. For example, an insurance agent may tell patients that it fully investigated the medical incident, when in fact it may have only partially done so. More often, however, insurance companies are liable for violating their implied promise of "good faith and fair dealing."
Can a Lawyer Assist Me If I Am Involved in a Healthcare Fraud Lawsuit?
Healthcare fraud schemes can be very complex and may not be readily apparent. If you think that you have been the victim of healthcare fraud, an attorney can help you figure out how to best pursue a remedy for the harm you suffered. Alternatively, if you believe that you have been wrongly accused of committing healthcare fraud, a lawyer can represent you in court and help you to defend yourself against false accusations.

I had a full house last weekend. My parents were visiting and my sister's family was with us. As the Chinese would say, very merry:)
We were going to go out for breakfast on Sunday morning, but by the time everyone got ready, it would have gone past 11 am, and small rumbling tummies cannot wait that long. So here was something fast to tide them over: Angel hair pasta with mushrooms and tomatoes.
I use fresh organic shitake mushrooms and organic cherry tomatoes. Quarter about six or seven cherry tomatoes and slice four mushrooms. Set aside. In a pot of boiling water, cook the angel hair pasta for about five minutes. In a separate pan, heat up olive oil and add slices of garlic. Saute for about a minute and add the mushrooms and tomatoes. It gets a little dry as you're cooking, so add a little water or chicken stock if you have some on hand. Let it sizzle for a while and leave in the pan. Once the pasta is cooked, strain and add to the pan of tomatoes, garlic and mushroom. Add about a cup of grated mild cheddar cheese. Toss until all ingredients are mixed. Remove from heat. Garnish with black and white sesame seeds and parsley and be prepared to clean up a messy floor (once the kids start tossing the noodles around). Lauren is discovering the fork for the first time, and she is forking everything! So more pasta ends up on her than in her tummy. Bon apetit!

VERSAILLES, France, Feb. 11 --
The women's prison of Versailles, just a short walk from the sprawling palace of Louis XIV, is a dour place for a Japanese heiress to be spending the winter. But Kiko Nakahara is getting little sympathy in France.
In the small jailhouse along the Avenue of Europe, Mrs. Nakahara is awaiting trial on charges of breach of trust and forgery. Her real offense, though, in the eyes of many French is far more serious: complete disrespect for this country's cultural and architectural heritage.
It was bad enough when a Japanese company headed by Mrs. Nakahara's father, who also owns part of the Empire State Building, bought nine historic castles near Paris and in the Loire region in the booming 1980's. Yet it is one thing to buy a string of classic French chateaus and pledge to renovate them and turn them into luxury hotels, as Mrs. Nakahara did. It is quite another thing, officials said, to strip several of them of their valuable antique furniture and tapestries, auction these off and leave all of the venerable buildings and their parks to decay.
As may be expected in a land where 1,606 chateaus are listed as national monuments, some mayors had been quietly relieved at the prospect of outside cash, even Japanese cash, coming in to repair and enliven their local castles. They are now outraged and feeling badly duped.
'It rains inside the castle,' said Pierre Lequiller, Mayor of Louveciennes, near Versailles, where Mrs. Nakahara spent $5 million for a property in 1989. 'This is part of the nation's cultural heritage. It's dilapidated. The situation is dreadful.'
French law says that a classified monument must be kept in a basic state of repair and its roof and windows sealed. Furnishings and decorations belonging to the owner may be bought and sold, although such sales must be reported to the Ministry of Culture, which determines what items cannot leave France. Investigators say that Mrs. Nakahara has violated a number of rules.
The small, early 18th-century chateau at Louveciennes is a case in point. It once belonged to Madame du Barry, a famous mistress of Louis XV, who entertained her royal lover and many aristocratic friends at this strategic spot only a brief coach-ride from the main Versailles court.
Today, the celebrated dining room that the courtesan had lined with finely carved oak wainscoting is just a shell of bricks and plaster, stripped of the paneling. In the salons and bedrooms the marble fireplaces have been ripped out of the walls, leaving large black hollows. The three-floor chateau seems a haunted place now, with shutters flapping in the wind and dark puddles on the wooden landing when rain drips through the roof.
'We don't know who did it, but the neighbors warned us last year that materials were being hauled away,' said Philippe Talbourdet, a village official. Wandering through the 25 acres of gardens, now overgrown with weeds, he said, 'At least a dozen sculptures, vases and basins are missing from here.'
According to investigators, in the 1980's Mrs Nakahara and her husband, Jean-Paul Renoir, who also uses the name Jean-Claude Perez-Vanneste and is believed to be French or Belgian, bought 15 castles in Europe, 9 of them in France. Purchases were made in the name of the Nippon Sangyo Kabushiki Kaisha, a company whose director is Hideki Yokoi, Mrs. Nakahara's father. While she is in jail in France, he is serving a prison sentence on unrelated charges in Japan.
In France, signs of trouble appeared by 1993, when Mrs. Nakahara and her husband offered furnishings, including 18 antique tapestries, for sale at Drouot, the Paris auction house.
'As the owners, they had a right to sell this and everything was done perfectly legally,' said Pierre-Marie Rogeon, the Government-appointed auctioneer in charge of the sale. But mayors in several towns charged that the chateaus were being 'pilfered' and that removing fixed items like wood paneling, chimneys and statues was a violation of the law protecting national monuments.
Bernard Cahen, Mrs. Nakahara's lawyer in Paris, said that his client had indeed planned to convert the chateaus into hotels, as she had told French officials. But funds dried up when her father was arrested in Japan, he said, adding, 'She had to fire the maintenance staff and sell furniture to raise funds to pay her bills.'
The villagers of Rosny-sur-Seine, some 40 miles west of Paris, have formed an association to protect their 16th-century chateau.
'We used to have all our weddings and family events at the chateau,' said Cesar Massera, the village Mayor. 'We all have memories there. But now it's closed and empty. Madame sold all the furnishings and the wall hangings and we were totally powerless.'
The villagers have now raised and borrowed enough money to buy back two of the tapestries.
Mr. Massera and the mayors of the eight other towns that have 'Japanese' castles are banding together. They are lobbying for more draconian laws to protect France's heritage.

The article above refers to the chateau du Barry, the building next door to the pavillon du Barry on rue de la Machine. The western side of the chateau forms part of the wall along the rue. The building appeared deserted during most of the 1960's when ASP was there. It was the original chateau which Louis XIV built in 1684 for Arnold de Ville, the designer of the Machine de Marly. Louis XV offered it to Madame du Barry in 1770, and after she grew out of it, she built the pavillon du Barry, former home of ASP.
A Happy Ending?This terrible tale of neglect and disrespect may finish up with a great ending.
According to La lettre du Maire, the town letter of the Mayor of Louveciennes (furnished courtesy of Libby Sloan), dated December 1995:
_The historical woodwork panel of the chateau have been recovered.
_The property has been granted an historic classification by the Ministere de la Culture, which allows the town to take over critical maintenance work of the grounds and building.
_ French law pertaining to Historical Monuments allows local municipalities to expropriate classified historical properties which have been abandoned, upon which the town of Louveciennes is now proceeding for the chateau.
_3.7 million francs have been assembled for restoration costs from various government agencies.
_Le Ministere de la Culture will match funding for at least 50% of the restoration work for the building.
_L'Agence des Espaces Verts de la Région will give an estimate on the restoration work for the 25 acre park, and provide 35% funding for purchase and rehabilitation
_ Assuming a successful acquisition, the building and grounds will open for public use. There already is a very pleasant park, with tennis courts and a little restaurant adjacent to the chateau du Barry, on another part of the original estate.
Latest news, April 2004:
The Chateau du Barry has been privately purchased and renovated, and is reportedly now in good shape and good hands.

The little pond in the foreground was originally much larger and served as the final holding tank for water pumped by the Machine de Marly. From here it was pumped to the top of the aquaduct, to be stored in the resevoirs at Marly on the way to the fountains ofVersailles. The building's first inhabitant was Arnold de Ville, designer and superintendent of the Machine, hence its orginal name, le chateau des Eaux.

(Updated June 21, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.)
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Customs and Border Protection employees on Wednesday that they would not be furloughed this year, despite the agency's initial estimate that its employees would have to take 14 days off because of the sequester.
Napolitano informed CBP employees that Congress approved a plan to mitigate the impact of the automatic spending cuts. "Today, I am pleased to say that Congress has approved that plan, and we have eliminated the need to furlough CBP personnel for the remainder of the fiscal year," she said.
We wanted to see the reprogramming plan to understand how much money DHS shifted between accounts to help avoid sequester furloughs. Neither CBP nor Homeland Security provided that information when asked for it on Wednesday.
Congressional staff from the House Appropriations Committee eventually sent the following Homeland Security document in response to the same query:
The document is a letter in which Homeland Security asks permission to transfer about $11 million to CBP's account for salaries and expenses, using money from other spending categories such as the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the agency's border-security fencing appropriations.
The $11 million figure appears in a Washington Post article that went online Wednesday night. Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron later questioned the number, saying the department actually reprogrammed more than $100 million to avoid sequester-related furloughs.
In order to reach Catron's figure, the agency would need to shift another $89 million on top of the $11 million that Congress just approved for reprogramming.
Since June 19, the Federal Eye has repeatedly asked Homeland Security for evidence to support Catron's claim that the department reprogrammed $100 million to avoid furloughs — including the $89 million the department would have shifted without congressional approval. The agency has not responded, meaning the $100 million figure remains unfounded.

I'm rather quiet at first, especially because I find that whole early small talk part of a relationship really awkward, but I'm really interested in how other people live their lives and what they're into. I don't live a quiet life though, I like going out, dancing, throwing parties, traveling or just generally going a little wild.
Morals are relative, I'll break a law sometimes, hell, I may break the law for you- but I loath causing harm to people direct or indirectly, I hate to fight and I'm well aware every action has an equal and opposite reaction..
I'll lay it on the line here, I'm really passionate about what I make, maybe more than the relationships I keep. Sometimes an artist is just the shambles that follow the work and that can suck.
If you can get beyond that I'm a faithful type and earnest in love and life, never too serious. I'm a bit of a goofy kid.
It's honestly harder to write one of these than I thought.

I'm missing a tooth. You can see it every once in a while when I get to smiling real big. It's probably the only thing I'm terribly self conscious about. Never fear shallow gals, It's not my front tooth.

The troubled Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan Friday after claims of a multi-million dollar theft from its digital vaults, media reports said.
The Tokyo District Court accepted the application from Mt. Gox, Jiji Press and NHK said.
The action was taken after U.S. prosecutors reportedly served a subpoena on the company.
The website of Tokyo-based Mt. Gox went dark Tuesday, possibly heralding huge losses for investors, and sending ripples of alarm throughout the global community of digital currency adopters.
Mt. Gox froze withdrawals earlier this month, claiming there was a bug in the software that underpins Bitcoin, making it vulnerable to thieves.

Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face classroom instruction with online delivery of digital content and instruction to allow students to work together in new ways and personalize their learning. Blended learning also gives teachers additional techniques for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students.
Common Core Standards call for students to "read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it."
Preparing for college and careers starts with mastering the basics in elementary school. With these digital tools, you can be certain your students are creating the foundation they need.
In addition to building on basic skills, middle school students need to start mastering research skills that will carry them through high school and beyond. These digital tools give them a great start.
High school students need to decide on a career field, prepare for entrance examinations, and hone their research skills.
Digital literacy–which encompasses digital citizenship, information literacy, and technology–is the ability to responsibly use technology to use, create, evaluate, and communicate information to improve learning in all subjects. Digital literacy includes skills such as Internet safety, technical skills needed to use online tools, coding skills, and makerspaces. This Toolbox includes links to resources that can help students become more proficient with digital tools.
Early literacy is critical to help children to develop foundational and reading skills to be ready for school. INFOhio has many resources that can be used to develop these skills and to help students on the road to success in meeting the 3rd Grade Guarantee.
The new standards call for students to read more informational text and literary nonfiction. Many of the resources from INFOhio like EBSCOhost databases and World Book are great sources for informational text.
With an increased emphasis on mathematics, these resources include activities, lesson plans, and other resources to help implement the standards.
In the past teaching note-taking skills was reserved for middle school and up. However, with research now a integral part of the curriculum for all grades levels, it is essential to teach students how to take notes from a very early age. These resources offer tips and ideas for young note-takers.
Research is an important life skill that takes in all the standard shifts including close reading, text complexity, marshaling arguments, and academic vocabulary. Use the tools and resources listed to help your students find the best sources for locating, applying and evaluating their information.
INFOhio has a wealth of resources for all ages for science research and discovery. We researched ecosystems and found information for all grades levels.
Primary documents, articles, lesson plans, activities and other information is available through INFOhio resources. We used the topics of the Northwest Ordinance and the U.S. Constitution to demonstrate some of the INFOhio resources and quality websites that educators would find useful.
As part of the standards, students must analyze the structure of text with increasingly difficult and complex text. Many of the INFOhio resources provide Lexile levels with help on text complexity.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiated instruction share many of the same principles such identifying different learning styles, adjusting instruction to accommodate students and providing lots of support. Differentiation is adjusting curriculum to support the needs of individual students while UDL is adapting the curriculum to suit all learners.
