Record History and Description
Baptisms, marriages and burials were recorded on blank pages in a bound book or register. The three events were intermixed in the same volume until 1754 when a law was passed requiring marriages to be recorded in a separate book. Banns were recorded in still another book. Preprinted registers were introduced in 1812 and separate registers were kept for baptisms, marriages, and burials. Pre-1812 bishop's transcripts were usually recorded on loose pieces of paper. After 1812, the transcripts were recorded on the same preprinted forms as parish registers. Entries are generally in chronological order. Some early parish registers are in Latin or Welsh or have occasional entries in Welsh.
An act passed in 1662 required everyone to conform to the Church of England. Those who did not were called nonconformist. When persecution eased at the beginning of the eighteenth century, nonconformity increased. By 1851 approximately 75 percent of the Welsh population was nonconformist, so many were not included in the Church of England registers. However, between 1754 and 1837, nonconformists could not legally marry outside the Church of England except for Quakers and Jews. Therefore nonconformist marriages are often found in the Church of England records. Also sometimes nonconformists did not have burials grounds and so some members were buried in Anglican churchyards and included in the registers. Parish priests began recording baptisms, marriages, and burials in 1537 according to law. Within some parishes, chapelries were created to provide for the worship needs of the parishioner when the parish church was not easily accessible. Chapelries sometimes had the authority to perform baptisms, marriages, and burials, so they kept their own registers. Several parishes formed a deanery, presided over by a dean, several deaneries formed an archdeaconry presided over by an archdeacon, several archdeaconries formed a diocese presided over by a bishop.
In 1598 ministers were required to make annual copies of their registers to an archdeacon or bishop. These copies are referred to as bishop's transcripts. In Wales these transcripts survive from about 1662. Most begin in the eighteenth century. After civil registration began in 1837, the value of keeping bishops' transcripts diminished and by 1870 most parishes had stopped creating them.
Marriage Banns are proclamations of intent to marry. Unless the couple had a license, couples were required to have the minister read a statement of their intent to marry for three consecutive Sundays before the marriage so anyone knowing reasons why the couple should not be married could oppose it. Banns were proclaimed in both the parish of the bride and the parish of the groom. They were recorded in separate books in 1754.
In 1914 by an act of Parliament, the Church in Wales became independent from the Church of England. The law didn't go into effect until 1920.
Parish registers were created to record church events of baptism or christening, marriage, and burial. After 1754 banns were required to be read for three consecutive Sundays before a marriage so that anyone with reasons against the marriage could oppose it. Banns were read in both the bride's parish and the groom's parish and were also recorded.
Parish registers are considered fairly reliable and accurate. In July 1837 the government began civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths and information in parish registers and bishops' transcripts can be compared for verification of information.
Record Content
Baptismal records usually contain the following information:
- Date and place of the baptism
- Child's name and gender
- Parents' names and their residence
- Occupation of father
- Name of person performing the ceremony
Marriage records usually contain the following information:
- Date and place of the marriage
- Name and age of groom
- Residence of groom
- Name and age of bride
- Residence of bride
- Marital status of each one
- Occupation(s) of each one
- Name of groom's father and his occupation
- Name of bride's father and his occupation
- Names of witnesses
- Name of officiant at marriage ceremony
Burial records usually contain the following information:
- Date and place of burial
- Name and age of deceased
- Name of person performing burial rites
How to Use the Records
Parish registers are one of the best records for identifying individuals, parents, spouses, and connecting them to other generations before July 1837 when the government instituted civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths. Civil registration may provide more information such as birth date and mother's maiden name for birth information. For the post 1837 period, parish registers still play an important role because they are often more readily available than civil registration. Bishop's transcripts are a back up source for parish registers. If parish registers are unreadable or missing, then you can search the bishop's transcripts. Differences may occur because one is a handwritten copy of the other. Burial records may include stillbirths or children not christened. Christening records never include stillbirths. Informants may be family members and occupations can be used to distinguish the correct family if more than one family of the same name exists in the parish. In Wales, given names and surnames are so common that it is important to use more than just the name in identifying an ancestor. It is important to use occupation, residence, family links, probate, estate, and court records to make a correct identification.
The Welsh custom of using patronymics is important to understand when doing research in Wales. Patronymics is the practice of using the father's given name as the child's surname. Generally, "ap" or "ab" was added between the child's name and the father's name. For example, David ab Owen is David, son of Owen. For a female child, the word "ferch" or "verch", meaning "daughter of" was used.
Beginning Your Search
To begin your search your will need to know the following basic information about your ancestor:
- Name
- Parish where the event (birth, marriage or death) took place
- Other identifying information such as birth date or names of other family members
Search the Collection
To search the collection by image
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select the appropriate "_____________"
⇒Select the appropriate "_____________"
⇒Select the appropriate "_____________" which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same parisht.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby parishes and localities.

With an entirely new cast, and a very modern attitude, it takes any expectation of cheese and in-jokery and sinks them under the noise of whirling helicopter blades and gunfire. The adaptation is free form, with the basic story of interesting new twists and characters. I couldn't imagine it being done any better. Do check it out." (Paul Cornell, script-writer, Doctor Who)

Shanna Moakler feels no pity
Shanna Moakler wrote a post on her MySpace yesterday taking a jab at Lindsay Lohan and then going into an attack on Paris Hilton. She writes:
When you making 8 million dollars a film…..HIRE A DRIVER!!
I've been getting a lot of letters asking my thoughts on recent events, so here it goes…. I know a lot of people think karma is going around and yeah I guess it might be, but to me..this is far from karma, if anything people like Paris love this shit, walking out of a court house to be met by a bevy of paparzzi like princess diana…carrying the bible around…loves it! Karma will be the day she's married and has kids and her husband goes and fucks a 22 yr old and knocks her up. I don't find happiness in others when they are down, but I sure in hell don't feel bad for people who play the victim constantly and are far from it. People who feel it's their job to make people feel beneath them or take opportunities others would die for an shit on them and frankly make a mockery of. So as the penis posse goes down one by one and enters jail or rehab…I don't really think anything of it…they just show me what I always knew and thought they were _________. ( you can fill in the blank)
I hope you are all well and as always thanks for your letters,
And this is Lindsay Lohan's reponse on her alleged MySpace, which I'm not actually convinced is hers:
im going to keep this simple and brief, like her career
for someone who "doesn't really think anything of it" sure had a mouth load to say. don't blame "young hollywood" for your FUCKED UP relationships you old haggard. maybe if you fixed yourself up a little bit, you wouldnt be so jealous of others. you know, a nice face/breast lift, lost a couple pounds (40), got rid of the paris haircut, and found yourself a decent looking boytoy you wouldn't be so depressed and feel the need to comment on other peoples lifes that you dont know.
p.s. your kids are ugly.
Just in case you had any doubt that Hollywood is just slightly less mature than junior high. They might as well be accusing each other of having cooties here. And then one of them would be all, "Oh no you did not just brought it." And then the other would be like, "Oh yes I did just broughted it." And then they'd make a movie about it and it'd be awesome. Word.

Quarterback of a Football Team Cookin up their Opponents Defense, specifically the Secondary with their precision and accuracy! When a Quarterback is on fire by throwing underscore/screen passes, passes for 20+ or 40+ yards with precision completing more than 63-65% from the field and trump up at least 275-310 passing yards with at least one interception which is the worse case scenario, but with more than 2 touchdowns in a game and worst case scenerio, he Quarterback Passer Rating has to be at least at 90-95 at WORST! A Player like that is considered a **Flame Throwa**
Michael Vick was a Straight **Flame Throwa** in a losing Effort against the Rising San Francisco 49ers team when he Projected 46 Passes, Converted 30 of them, only in-completing 16 Passes completing at 65.2% with a QB Passer Rating at 99.5, just short of a Passer Rating at 100 out of 158.3.

A Walthamstow secondary school will star in the newest series of Channel 4's Educating series, it was announced today.
Frederick Bremer School, in Siddeley Road, was chosen because it "is at the heart of the community, it embraces its diversity and its students are warm, friendly and funny," a network spokeswoman said.
Headteacher Jenny Smith said: "I am incredibly proud to be the head of a school which is so successful in supporting and nurturing every pupil to become successful and responsible citizens.
"It is our privilege to serve the vibrant, integrated and ambitious community of Walthamstow and I am confident that Bremer will represent how committed community schools such as ours are to ensuring that every pupil is given every opportunity to succeed.
"Most of all, I'm looking forward to the series celebrating how talented our young people are."
She added that both previous series had transformed public perceptions of secondary schools and that she believes Bremer will do so too.
The title of the documentary, which will air later this year, is undecided.
The two previous series of the programme, Educating Essex and Educating Yorkshire, were hugely popular programmes, the latter being Channel 4's highest rating series of 2013, peaking at 4.8m viewers and generating half a million tweets.
Its final episode, in which student Musharaf, who had a severe stammer, delivered a moving speech to schoolmates, was named TV Moment of the Year by Radio Times.
Bremer, an engineering specialist school which opened in 2008, is well placed to provide an insight into the "rapidly changing" local landscape which includes a "vibrant creative and artistic culture", a Channel 4 spokeswoman added, building on the legacy of the Olympics which were staged only a few miles away.
The spokeswoman also said the vision and drive of ambitious headteacher Jenny Smith and her staff were recognised for bringing rapid and considerable improvements in teaching and student progress.
After inspections in September the school was rated by Ofsted as "requires improvement" but the headteacher said she is determined to raise it to "good" within two years.
The TV programme, which places fixed cameras throughout the school, will document the lives of students and teachers as they work towards exams.
Executive producer at Twofour, the production company commissioned by Channel 4, David Clews said: "We're so excited to be working with Jenny Smith and her team.
"As soon as you walk into the school you feel this inspiring atmosphere, it's a place full of warmth, energy and compassion.
"Sharing the stories of some of the students will be such a privilege."

Alachua company lands DOD contract worth up to $360M
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 5:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
An Alachua-based biotech company has landed a Department of Defense contract that could be worth as much as $360 million over 10 years to develop manufacturing processes for drugs to treat bioterrorism and radiological threats.
Nanotherapeutics plans to build a $150 million, 145,000-square-foot expansion and add as many as 150 new employees with an average salary of $90,000 as a result of the contract, according to a 2012 application for tax rebates.
Company officials could not be reached for comment Friday.
Nanotherapeutics currently has 45 employees at an office in Progress Corporate Park in Alachua.
The University of Florida Foundation was working with the company to build its new manufacturing facility in a 280-acre corporate park established last year on farmland adjacent to Progress Corporate Park.
Nanotherapeutics received the award Wednesday and announced it on its website Friday.
The base contract is for $135.8 million and two years with options up to 10 years and $358.9 million.
According to bid documents, the company will conduct research and development on faster, cheaper and more effective ways to treat against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks, and outbreaks of naturally occurring and genetically engineered infectious diseases.
The company already has a history of work on defense and other federal grants and contracts totaling millions of dollars to develop protections and treatments for bioterror and radiological threats, among other work.
James Talton founded the company in 2000 as Nanocoat Technologies in the UF Sid Martin Biotechnology Incubator in Alachua, changing the name to Nanotherapeutics in 2002.
The company uses tiny, nanometer-scale particle technology to make new drugs and to make existing drugs more effective, including oral, inhaled and injectable drugs, and topical gels and creams.
In July, the Alachua County Commission and Alachua City Commission approved tax rebates of as much as $105,000 each as a match to a $1.05 million rebate, with the rest coming from the state, in anticipation of the defense contract. The total rebate amount is based on the number of jobs created up to 150.

A GRATEFUL pensioner who collapsed in a rock pool while shrimping at Cooden Beach has thanked emergency services and the man who rescued him for saving his life.
John Freeman, 68, originally from Little Common, now lives with wife Brenda in Polegate.
He regularly returns to the local area to fish and last Tuesday (May 8) got up at 6.30am and made his way to his favourite stretch of beach at Herbrand Walk.
John, who has been fishing since he was seven-years-old, said the weather was good, he felt 'quite exhilarated' and had been 'shrimping away' when, without warning fell face down into a deep rock pool.
He said the incident was a surreal experience.
"I came out of one rock pool to go into another. I then realised I was going down into it head first and there was nothing I could do to stop myself. Everything was in slow motion.
"I was then under water and although I could move my arms my hands would not grip and I had no strength to pull myself out."
Though that was the last thing John remembered until he came round 20 minutes later, he had succeeded in turning himself over and was face up. John was spotted flailing around by Peter Hicks, who was digging for lugworms nearby.
Realising John was in distress, he dashed over to help. Peter found John unconscious in the rock pool with water lapping over his face. He tried to pull him out but John's water-logged fishing gear weighed him down, hindering the rescue attempt.
Speaking about the drama last week Peter said, "He was dressed in chest waders and was a big man, and it took all my strength to drag him out.
"I sprained a thumb in the process."
After pulling John clear of the water Mr Hicks flagged down a passing motorist and emergency services were alerted.
John said, "Next thing I know I'm on my back on the sand and the paramedics and police were looking after me." John was rushed to the Conquest Hospital.
Meanwhile at around 8am Bexhill police rang Brenda to tell her what had happened to her husband.
Brenda said, "I thought 'Oh no!' I was so shocked and couldn't believe it."
Brenda is recovering from major surgery and was distressed because she had no way of getting to the Conquest, but police came to her rescue and sent a patrol car to take her to be by John's side.
Brenda, who often accompanies John on his shrimping expeditions, said, "I was really grateful."
John said he was well looked after at the hospital.
"They ran every test you could think of but couldn't find anything wrong.
"I was frozen and treated for hypothermia."
He spent around five hours being warmed on a special air treatment bed and was discharged later that day.
Medical experts could find no explanation for the blackout but John said he will be seeing his GP in the near future.
John said, "I would like to send my grateful thanks to Peter Hicks who dragged me out of the sea and kept watch over me until the emergency services arrived.
"I also wish to thank the emergency services for their quick response in bringing me back to life and getting me to the hospital where the resus unit staff continued to look after me and brought me back to good health.
"Also, thanks to Bexhill Police for their help and support."
When asked if the incident had put him off shrimping John said, "Good heavens no!
"Life's got to go on."

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Walt Disney World is expected to soon make a major announcement about an overhaul of the Downtown Disney complex, according to several park insiders.
The announcement is expected to provide more details about "Disney Springs," the rumored name for the center that will replace Downtown Disney.
Several Disney-insider blogs have reported Disney Springs will be made up of several distinct neighborhoods, all set around a spring. Those neighborhoods will be called The Town Center, The West Side and The Marketplace, according to website WDW News Today.
The neighborhoods will host a mix of retail, dining and nightlife, including the popular Disneyland concept Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, New York City burger joint Shake Shack. Possible retailers include upscale shops like Dior and MAC Cosmetics and popular foreign clothiers UNIQLO and Bershka.
Leaked images popped up on WDW News Today that show what's supposedly planned for Disney Springs. To make way for the new construction, sources say Disney will build a parking garage to free up space where there are currently parking lots.

10 facts on environmental and occupational health and cancer
September 2011
Globally roughly 19% of all cancers are estimated to be attributable to the environment, including work settings. Understanding some of the facts about environmental and occupational health and cancer can help mitigate the risks. Decreasing exposure to carcinogens also reduces health care costs, and contributes to the overall well-being of communities. Environmental and occupational interventions are critical to achieving a reduction of cancer.
Cancer is a leading cause of death with 7.6 million deaths, and 12.7 million new cases in 2008. Cancer is found in both rich countries and poorer countries. Currently, more than 70% of all cancer deaths are reported from low- and middle-income countries, a figure that is predicted to increase. *

Your OWN Show, Bio, 7.30pm
THAT'S OWN as in the Oprah Winfrey Network. Yes, Oprah is stuffing the schedule of her own network with a search for something else to stuff the schedule with. Or rather, she was, because this series was made in 2011, and both shows the eventual winners got to make were axed rather quickly. Anyway, this reality competition show, hosted by Nancy O'Dell and Carson Kressley, has 10 aspiring TV presenters split into two teams competing to put together different kinds of TV segments. Tonight's challenge is to produce a makeover segment with the aid of Vera Wang and a hairdresser. The makeovers themselves go well, but back in the studio things really start falling apart. It's not exactly riveting viewing, but it might give you some appreciation of how much work goes into even the simplest-looking TV segment. It's also nice to see contestants of a wide range of ages and backgrounds, including comedian Zach Anner, who has cerebral palsy and whose ambition is to make a wheelchair travel show.
Animal Cops: Back from the Brink, Animal Planet, 7.30pm
HORRIFIC and heart-warming in equal measure, this special looks at the happy endings to some of the worst cases of animal abuse and neglect this American series has shown. It's hard watching emaciated dogs, horses and pigs at the edge of death, but gratifying to see them, months later, fattened up and running around happily in their new homes.
The Colbert Report, Comedy, 7.30pm

Groundbreaking for Cell Tower
November 3rd, 2010 | SMWC
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College campus welcomes the addition of a Verizon Wireless cell tower. The groundbreaking for the tower behind Hulman Hall took place on November 1, 2010 at 1:30 pm.
"The consistency of coverage has been a challenge for the campus community," said Dottie King, Ph.D., interim president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. "We appreciate the diligence of Verizon and our staff in meeting the needs of our students, faculty, staff and visitors."
The tower expands Verizon Wireless voice and 3G data coverage for the campus as well as for some residents in West Terre Haute. It will strengthen coverage ensuring the community and visitors have access to the latest wireless technology.
"Our customers rely on their wireless devices for virtually all of their communication needs," said John Granby, president, Indiana/Kentucky/Michigan Region, Verizon Wireless. "The most advanced device is only as good as the network it runs on. That's why we aggressively invest in our Indiana network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers and continue to raise the bar in network reliability."
Completion of the project will be 6-8 weeks.

The Yankees have been piecing wins together as they await the return of their injured starters.
Starting in place of All-Stars Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez is a group of veterans many assumed were past their prime.
"I don't really have a rhyme or reason for it," manager Joe Girardi said. "I think that this is a great place to play. It's a great clubhouse to be in, it's a great atmosphere to come into every night -- whether you're home or on the road -- and there's an expectation here. I think a lot of guys feed off that."
The Yankees will send their veteran team against the Astros on Monday at Yankee Stadium as they try to extend their four-game winning streak.
Taking the mound for New York will be one of the elder statesmen of the group, 40-year-old Andy Pettitte, who will be facing his former Astros team for only the second time in his career.
Pettitte has been off to an excellent start this season, allowing only seven earned runs in four starts. In his last outing, he struck out a season-high 10 batters, but he took his first loss of the year against the Rays on Wednesday.
"I had two strikeouts and a chance to get out of it, and I didn't do it," said Pettitte referring to his two-run fifth inning. "That was obviously really the game right there."
For the Astros, it'll be 27-year-old Lucas Harrell, who is coming off his best outing of the season as he hopes to end the team's four-game slide. Harrell held the Mariners to six hits and one run in seven innings Wednesday, and he has allowed only four earned runs in 18 1/3 innings in his past three starts.
"I'd gotten away from being aggressive; I need to attack more," said Harrell, who allowed the lone run against him on a double play. "Strike one was huge today. My goal was to attack and get strike one."
When Harrell takes the mound, he'll also try to end the team's nine-game road skid.
"You've got to clean this slate regardless," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "The Yankees are going to come, and they're not going to feel sorry for us. They're going to try to beat us the same way we're going to try to beat them."
Astros: Houston makes rare appearance at Yankee Stadium
- The Astros' three-game set in New York marks their first series against the Yankees as a member of the American League and only their second visit to the new Yankee Stadium (2010). Houston is 1-8 against the Yankees lifetime, including 1-5 in New York. Houston's only win over the Yankees was a six-pitcher no-hitter at the old Yankee Stadium on June 11, 2003.
- Astros outfielder/designated hitter Chris Carter sat Sunday after struggling in his previous 13 games. Carter was hitting .140 (6-for-43) during that stretch.
"I think he will become more consistent," Porter said. "Sometimes, from a manager's standpoint, you take it out of their hands and say, 'I'm going to give you a day.' This was more of a decision to give him a day, and on top of it, give Ronny Cedeno a chance to get more at-bats, as well."
- Five of Rick Ankiel's 10 hits this season have been homers and three have gone for doubles in 18 games. He has posted a .512 slugging percentage.
Yankees: New York among MLB's best since slow start
- The Yankees are 14-5 (.737) since April 7 after starting the year with a 1-4 record, and they have the second-best winning percentage in the Majors over the stretch, trailing only Boston.
- The Yankees are a Major League-best 14-1 this season when holding their opponents to four runs or fewer. Their one loss in such a game this season happened in Pettitte's last start against Tampa Bay.
- After sitting out the series finale against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Kevin Youkilis will undergo an MRI on Monday to further examine the cause of his back tightness.
Worth noting
- Pettitte spent three seasons with the Astros from 2004-06, going 37-26 with a 3.38 ERA in 84 appearances (83 starts). He was named the Pitcher of the Year in 2005 by the Houston chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America after going 17-9 with a 2.39 ERA in 33 starts.

AFTER yet another false dawn last week in the draw against Bradford, normal service was resumed for long-suffering Gasheads.
The trip to Wycombe was controversially rearranged after the original fixture was abandoned by Wycombe's health and safety officer due to a storm over Adams Park. At the time Rovers were 3-1 up and looking good value for a valuable three points on the road. Despite an appeal to the FA, the abandonment stood.
The perceived injustice should have spurred the team on to grab a much needed victory on Saturday, but it was not to be. Wycombe's Joel Grant was allowed to run half the length of the pitch before dispatching an accurate left-footed shot into Sam Walker's net in the 11th minute. The Chairboys' captain Gareth Ainsworth made the points safe with a diving header early in the second half. After that, Rovers never looked like getting back into the game.
Travelling Gasheads were 'rewarded' with a performance devoid of fight, ambition or ability. Mark McGhee had a strong squad to choose from as a number of players returned from injury and suspension but he persisted with some strange team selections. Playing central defender Tom Parkes in left midfield, and, yet again, leaving the only player with true pace, Fabian Broghammer, on the bench were puzzling and frustrating decisions.
Mustering just four attempts on goal – and only two on target – is very poor for a side already struggling against relegation. To cap a poor display, Matthew Lund needlessly got himself sent off in stoppage time, the fourth Rovers' player to receive a red card in the last four games. Indeed, if indiscipline got you points, Rovers would be looking down on the rest of the Football League.
McGhee needs to rapidly get a grip on the situation, instil discipline and tenacity in the squad and get the players performing for the shirt, not just for their wages. In addition, he needs to ship out the likes of Riordan who has done nothing since signing a short-term deal.
The fightback must begin on Saturday against Dagenham and Redbridge.

Evolution Hoax
Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation was again mentioned by the 150,000-circulation Spanish daily El Periodico on 11 May, 2008:
… Adnan Oktar, author of the 700-page, 5-kilo Atlas of Creation under the pen-name Harun Yahya, had inspired fierce debates by sending the book, which strongly opposes Darwinism and evolution, to a wide range of Spanish universities last year…
No creationist voices had hitherto been much heard in Europe, but the way that Atlas of Creation has appeared in the European press just about every day for the last year, reveals the book's huge impact. By means of this book, Europe has for the first time questioned the theory of evolution and been convinced that creation is a clear truth. By the will of Allah, Atlas of Creation will continue to be referred to as the book that demolishes materialist and Darwinist philosophy in Europe in the years to come.

Medical Definition of Rib, true
Rib, true: One of the first 7 pairs of ribs. A rib is said to be "true" if it attaches to the sternum (the breast bone).
All 12 pairs of ribs attach to the building blocks of the spine (vertebrae) in the back. The 12 pairs of ribs consist of:
The upper three false ribs connect to the costal cartilages of the ribs just above them. The last two false ribs, however, usually have no ventral attachment (no anchor at all in front) and are called floating, fluctuating or vertebral ribs.

The other day I was having a discussion with my friend about the almighty movie Fight Club. We wondered why the hell it did so terribly in the box office. I first thought that it was marketed poorly. I got the impression that it was like a new generation of a more violent Bloodsport, but a lot more boring. Surely the critics would then save this blunder with good reviews, right? Nope, they hated it. So I checked out a bunch of reviews and in just about every negative review the aspect of testosterone was brought up. The critics liked the first part, but then saw all the gore, fighting, etc. as catering to our cavemen instincts. Then I realized, Palahniuk did an awesome job striking a nerve on his feminization of society theme. These critics felt exteremely threatened and had to fight back with all they had. They had to be too high and mighty to realize that the only time we are alive is when we are close to death.
Well, I hope that all makes sense. I come up with a lot of ideas like this, and always have trouble trying to portray them in words. Please tell me what you think and give other ideas as to why Fight Club didn't do too well in the box office.

Personally, I never understood why bother with wax for keeping the glaze off from the bottom.
How many seconds it takes you to wipe off the glaze from the bottom of a vessel with a firm moist sponge?
Problem with most waxes is that if this stuff gets anywhere else on your piece, you need to bisque fire it again.
Peel off stuff will mess up your brush and stink really bad. Just not worth the money nor the effort.
Keep your kiln shelves coated with kiln wash and use clean moist sponge to wipe off the glaze in seconds
BTW. Some pots, with lids, got glazed few days ago. All I used was watery mix of kiln wash between the lid and the pot. looks like it worked fine.
Glazed the lids and pots, wiped the edges clean with a clean sponge (keep the sponge clean!), added few brush strokes of watered down kiln wash and that was it.
I do agree with you, regarding the bottoms of projects, to an extent. I really depends on the clay body. For my first several years teaching, I used a low fire clay. Wiping those clean, wasn't too bad. But when I started at my new district, I used a stoneware. Wiping the glaze off of those, tore the sponges up something terrible. Using wax, was a much better option, considering I would have gone through quite a few sponges, with all the students wiping things off.
Dripping the wax was always a concern, and one I warned the students about. I also warned them about not getting it on their clothes either. Latex resist avoids the issue, of unwanted drips, since you can just peel it off.
A trick I saw somewhere and my local pottery studio uses -- found on CAD, if I remember correctly! -- is to get a piece of low-pile carpet, soak it in water, shake off the excess and lay it in a tray of some sort. Put the piece down on the wet carpet, press lightly, and rotate. Clean bottom and no shredded sponges or waxy mess!
(And yes, I know this isn't in regard to the lidded box, but don't think of it as a hijack. Think of it as... "the scenic route.")
The foam that comes in the cone boxes works too. I get that wet then put it on a wad of newspapers so the counter doesn't get soaked. Iron glazes on white clay I still use wax for, avoids staining the clay. Scenic routes are usually more interesting aren't they? Min

"I love the quality of the cards and the envelopes. The size of the cards are almost 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. A perfect size to realize that it's something important in your mailbox. It looks great on my refrigerator with a magnet and in my curio on display. I highly recommend the black and gold border."
"These cards are absolutely gorgeous. The print is just delicate enough and the card stock was sturdy. I have gotten tons of compliments on them and am seriously considering purchasing the matching suite."
"very good quality! not much customization needed, cards are beautiful as is. Customer service was amazing! I ordered a few too many and realized it right after I placed the order.... But I emailed customer service and they fix it right away and refunded me. Very happy with the product!"
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"
"Everything about his card exceeded my expectations..the card stock, ink colors, and script. I was soooo happy when I opened the box, not to mention outstanding customer service!!"

If there is one thing Danny Nolasco learned this summer on the ball field, it's that baseball is an international language.
The Hall High School senior had the fortune of playing in the Colt League 16U World Series in LaFayette, Ind. this summer for the Ottawa Sun Devils. There, he encountered opponents from Seoul, South Korea; Paderborn, Germany and Santa Juanita Bayamon, Puerto Rico, whom he found while they spoke different languages, they all spoke the common language of baseball.
"It was a pretty neat experience with kids not talking English, but talking baseball techniques, I guess," Nolasco said. "It was neat listening to them talk and how they still knew basically the same thing we did, it was just different language."
The Sun Devils won the regional tournament in Joliet and punched their ticket to the World Series by winning the zone tournament in Kankakee.
At Loeb Stadium in LaFayette, Ind., the Sun Devils opened World Series play against the host team, falling 7-0. They came back in the elimination bracket to defeat Germany 5-3, Korea 10-8 and LaFayette 12-10 before falling to Puerto Rico 12-8 to finish in the Final Four.
Los Gatos, Calif. defeated Puerto Rico 13-3 for the championship.
Nolasco said the experience will only help him when he takes the field for his senior season at Hall.
"We played a lot of good competition,"he said. "There's some kids who can hit, and I feel like I faced a lot of good pitching that I normally wouldn't see around here, so I'm going to take that and have a good season."
Nolasco believes the Red Devils will be in for a good season next spring with the influx of some juniors to their team.
"We have a lot of good juniors, that'll be really good for us, because last year we were down on hitting, but there's a lot of good hitters coming up and our defense should be solid," he said.
But first, Nolasco and the Red Devils football team are looking to get their 2012 season untracked, knowing there's no time like the present to notch their first win when the Amboy/LaMoille Clippers set sail into Nesti Stadium Friday.
"I feel after last game against Morrison, they were the No. 3 ranked team in state and we only lost by two touchdowns," he said. "We're changing some things on offense that should be good for us. Our offensive line is getting better, and if we play defense like we did at Morrison, it should be a pretty easy one for us Friday."
Prayers for Lauren: I wanted to add another item for the good things in sports I wrote about last week. Former Bureau Valley Storm standout Lauren Hasbrook underwent a liver transplant recently in her continued battle with Wilson's disease. She is not fighting the battle alone, however. Friends and family have rallied around her, creating a Facebook page, "We love you Lauren." BV South hosted a barbecue dinner fundraiser and the BVS volleyball team held a bake sale to raise money for Lauren's support.
There have been more than a thousand "likes to the we love you Lauren" FB page. Add yours to it and say a prayer for Lauren. She's a bright young lady with a bright future ahead of her.

THE story of Australia's wine consumption over the past five years has been dominated by the Kiwi-led invasion of imports, and private label wines that have thrived amid the wine glut. But all this is about to change.
Australian brand wines will take the lion's share of sales growth over the next three years, primarily driven by consumers who continue to upgrade their wine consumption from the cask-end of the market to premium bottled wine.
According to market researcher Nielsen, we may be consuming less wine overall, but we are willing to pay more for what we do drink.
''It's a universal story, quite frankly, in alcohol, which is we're simply buying less alcohol than we used to but we're buying better,'' said Nielsen executive director Michael Walton.
Local sales of branded Australian wine ''flatlined'' over the past five years with imported product - led by New Zealand's ubiquitous sauvignon blanc - accounting for 75 per cent of sales growth over this period, Mr Walton said.
Private label wines claimed a further 15 per cent of the sales growth.
Five years ago 60 per cent of wine sold off-the-shelf was cask wine. This is already down to 50 per cent, says Nielsen.
The data shows that family-owned wine brands have already been growing faster than private label product, due to consumer tastes for premium wine.
Nielsen has forecast that Australian branded wine will account for 70 per cent of the $400 million sales growth to 2015 and will have its best opportunity for a decade to thrive.
''What this means is that in three years' time I expect that family-owned brands will be a billion-dollar business in Australian wine retail, and that's a remarkable thing.''
Winemakers Federation of Australia president Tony D'Aloisio also reminded his members of how the local industry continued to pay for missing the sauvignon blanc wave.
''In the last financial year, in one report I have seen, total white wine sales increased 2 per cent at the retail level but 45 per cent of this increase was NZ sauvignon blanc. The message may be that we need to be quicker to market with changes to consumer buying patterns.''

Can I pay for more than one year of subscription?
Yes, you can pay for up to three years in advance for your CMS subscription. In this case, you will secure the current year's rate for the years purchased (rates are subject to change).
How do I get access to my online subscription content?
There are two ways, depending on your type of subscription.
High schools and colleges may optionally choose to use IP-based access rather than username and password. However, to do this, they must pay the institutional rate for the publication and must also sign the same Online Agreement as universities.
If you are at a university and you get a username and password prompt you aren't expecting, then either there is a problem with your institution's subscription, Online Agreement, or registered IP ranges. See below for details.
I still can't access my subscription(s) online (for institutional subscribers only)
Access is granted when three requirements are all met: (i) Your institution must have a current subscription for the publication you are trying to access, (ii) your institution must have registered the appropriate IP address ranges, and (iii) your institution must have sent us a signed Online Agreement.
To troubleshoot the problem:
You can use this web page to help by viewing it from one of the computers that should have access. The IP address of your computer right now is 220.127.116.11. If that address is not in your pre-registered ranges, then you won't get access from the network location you are in now.
What is my CMS web account?
Non-institutional subscribers use their CMS web account to get access to their online subscriptions, to order renewals, to change the delivery address for their print copies and so on. The web account is tied to a subscriber number (or member number for members who subscribe) and you use a username and password, which you choose, to get into it. Web accounts need to be activated in order to use them.
What should I do to activate my web account?
Web accounts need to be activated in order to be used for the first time. When you become a new subscriber (or a new member), the CMS will email you instructions about how to activate your web account wherein you choose a username and password to use.If you are a returning subscriber and for some reason you can not access your account using your username and password, please contact us at email@example.com.
Do you provide perpetual access?
Only current subscribers have access to our protected content. Protected content refers to the last five full volumes (years) plus any issues in the current year. All earlier content is publicly available (currently this means all content published before 2012). Therefore, if you cancel your subscription you do not retain access to those issues published during your subscribed period. Eventually, of course, those issues will be more than five years old and will become freely available.
Can I get usage statistics?
The CMS has only recently started collecting usage statistics for the two research journals: the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin. The collection of data began on June 1, 2010. Data from previous years was not collected and is therefore not available. We now release usage statistics upon request from the subscriber. Our usage statistics are consistent with Project Counter release 3.0 methodology.
Unfortunately, at this time, the CMS is unable to provide usage statistics for Crux Mathematicorum.
Can I purchase publications from previous years?
Yes and these are referred to as "back issues". Since back issues are limited in quantity, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of the publication, year and issue number in order to determine availability and price.
I purchased a subscription to the hard-copy edition of one of your publications but my issue still hasn't arrived. Can I claim a replacement copy?
A claim for replacement must be submitted no sooner than 3 months and no later than 6 months following the issue's publication date. In the event that an issue is delayed, we will consider the actual publication date rather than the cover date when processing claims. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com within this period and your copy will be replaced.

The Department of Revenue issues reseller permits to qualifying businesses that make wholesale purchases. Applying is free. The permits allow those businesses to purchase items or services for resale without paying retail sales tax. For complete information, visit our Reseller Permit page.
On January 1, 2010, reseller permits replaced resale certificates. Resale certificates, which are no longer valid, were self-issued forms used for making purchases without paying sales tax by registered businesses buying goods and certain services to resell.
Reseller permits are given to a seller at the time of purchase, or within a reasonable time.
Sellers: Keep copies of past reseller permits on file for four years from date of last use in case of an audit.

This recipe didn't come from one of Steven's books but it's a good one all the same: Korean short ribs from Weber's Big Book of Grilling. My butterflying technique needs more work but as far as taste goes I was very happy, and I found the ingredients a little easier to acquire than the ones some other recipes called for. And since I shop at a Piggly Wiggly in a town of 6000 people that's important to me.

Public school teachers will have a wide array of resources to aid in the launch of tougher academic standards that begin next year, state Superintendent of Education John White said Tuesday.
White also said the resources — called a Classroom Support Toolbox — were crafted by about 150 teachers rather than relying on directives from state education officials.
"When you dictate to teachers from Baton Rouge you effectively rely on the wisdom of bureaucrats, not on the wisdom of educators," he said.
The new academic rules are called common core standards. Louisiana and 44 other states have adopted the guidelines, which are aimed at making students more competitive worldwide and easier state-to-state comparisons on student achievement.
The new standards take effect for the 2014-15 school year.
"This is a significant shift in the way we are approaching teaching and learning," White said.
He compared the change with adding 20 yards to a football field.
"It will take some time to get used to how you play defense on a longer field and how you play offense on a longer field," White said.
Part of the assistance, White said, is an interactive, online feature called Classroom Support Toolbox at the department's website — Louisianabelieves.com
It includes sample year-long curriculum plans, assessment guides for the upcoming school year and sample assessment questions.
The site also includes the content of every assessment the state will administer and which standards the questions are linked to.
"Make no mistake," White said. "The tests will be harder."
He also said about 2,000 educators from across the state will serve as teacher leaders on details of how to use the classroom toolbox, details of the common core standards and how the instruction can be spread out over a school year.
At least one teacher leader will be assigned to each school, he said, and more than one for schools with more than 1,000 students.
Those educators will undergo training April 18-19 in Lafayetteand go through a second session later in the year.
In the past, White said, state officials would roll out new tests and tell teachers how and when to teach the material.

ROSENBERG - A Needville man has been charged in connection with a burglary at a pharmacy in Rosenberg.
Daniel Knight, 26, has been charged with burglary of a building, which is a state jail felony. He is also charged with evading arrest.
Rosenberg police responded to a burglar alarm at the Gonzalez Clinic in the 2300 block of Fourth Street on Saturday.
When officers arrived, they said they found Knight crouched outside a broken window of the clinic. He fled, but was caught a short time later, police said.
Investigators say Knight had items from the clinic. He was transported to the Fort Bend County Jail.
Knight already had two outstanding warrants. One was from Fort Bend County for bond revocation and the other one was out of Austin County for evading arrest.

I was saying to Duana and Sarah how unshiny I think the Emmys are. Part of that is because there is simply too much TV to watch, so getting super excited about one thing is impossible.

When Bystanders Do Nothing They Open the Door to Abuse
Dear Engaged Bystander: When I give talks, I think that the hardest concept to get across is that our current frame for decision-making is wrong. Talk with anyone who sees something that makes them uncomfortable (e.g., a man pushing against a woman breasts in a NYC subway or a neighbor taking pictures of all the young girls at the public pool) and the decision they are trying to make is "to do something or do nothing". I think that when we are uncomfortable, we need to decide WHAT is the best and safest thing for me to do in this situation. And there are hundreds of actions we can take in ANY situation. Having experienced the NYC subway, here are some things I have seen or heard:
- A young woman just comes out to loudly say to the man "That is just gross",
- A young man took a picture of him and quietly said if he did not stop it was getting sent to the police,
- Upon exiting the car, one woman spoke with the young woman to see if this was a friend and if she was OK
- An older man simply stepped in between the two of them creating a physical barrier
Imagine you are the young woman on the subway what message is she getting from all of the people doing nothing. Imagine you are watching this situation and then again, what message are you getting?
I recently read about a 17 year old high school junior who won a $1 million lawsuit from a Vermont school district where a principal, a teacher and a counselor were accused of failing to report their suspicions that a student was being sexually abused. The lawsuit asserted that the school officials knew about the abuse for over a year but did not report what was happening to Josh Langlois (then 10 years old). During that year, the Josh continued to be sexually assaulted by his uncle who used a dog cage, dog collar and chains on his nephew. After the prolonged and brutal sexual abuse, Josh was under custody of the state, bounced from school to school, had behavioral problems and lived for nearly two years at a residential care facility for sexually abusing behaviors. He now is living safely with a loving and stable foster family, getting good grades in school and making plans to attend college.
Josh Langlois asked that his name be used so that he could speak about the case. When asked why, he replied that he wanted to highlight the law that requires teachers and others to report their suspicions of child abuse. He went on to say that just one phone call can save a child from abuse.
In a small town, I can understand someone's reluctance to report someone they know if they are not totally sure that a child is being harmed. But what we don't often consider is the impact of our inactivity. In this case, Josh was sexually abused for more than a year. We need to find ways to see inaction as the deepest form of apathy and the only environment where sexual abuse can thrive. When asked whether you want to build a foundation for abuse, then doing nothing makes sense.
Josh has experienced what it means to say nothing and then went on to demonstrate what it means to speak out as a victim and as a child who also harmed others. To me and I hope for all of us, he is a hero.

Functional incontinence occurs when a person is unable to
reach the bathroom in time to urinate because of physical or mental
limitations, such as problems with walking, conditions such as arthritis, or
problems with reasoning (such as dementia). People who have functional
incontinence can try timed voiding and prompted voiding to control
Timed voiding
Timed voiding is also called habit training. It sets a schedule for
urinating (voiding) that is determined by your personal habits. It doesn't
attempt to increase how long you can wait before having to urinate or teach
you to resist the urge to urinate.
Prompted voiding
Prompted voiding requires a caregiver to prompt you to urinate. The goal is to decrease the chance of accidents
by making you aware of the need to urinate periodically. Prompted
voiding usually is used in combination with timed voiding for people who are
unaware of their bodily functions, such as people who have

Topic: Sliver
It's totally new to me, I recently found out that Silver Nanoparticles can be beneficial to the health. I have never tried it before, but then I have read in the Wikipedia and it is said to be having numerous vitamins, which is really needy in terms of our health. Hope it has the same effects that's written in the Wikipedia.
