Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

Deadbeats who vote only in presidential elections really chap our hide, like a seasonal rash on the buttocks of the body politic.
Can't be troubled with school levies and other smaller cogs in the gears of a civil society. And when they do vote – with the clockwork regularity of the Summer Olympics – they probably mark their ballots with a red pen and put a stamp on the secrecy envelope.
Get thee behind, you dabblers of democracy!
You're like people who go to church only on Christmas Eve, then hog the best pews and nearly set their clothes on fire during the candlelight singalong of "Silent Night."
Sadly, Pierce County has tens of thousands of slacker voters. You know who you are.
County Auditor Julie Anderson knows about you, too. Only she uses a wildlife metaphor in her description.
You are bears – big, lumbering, slumbering, disoriented bears.
Oh, my.
Now a message from your auditor: "Infrequent voters have been in hibernation," Anderson writes in her 2012 voter pamphlet message.
"They only awaken from slumber every four years and will pose special challenges."
But the ever-obliging auditor wants them to feel welcome, saying "we look forward to thousands of groggy citizens who wake up on November 6 and want to know why their Congressman isn't on their ballot and why the church basement is locked."
So, what might these Rip Van Winkles be thinking as they prepare to vote for the first time since '08?
• Third time's gonna be a charm for Dino Rossi!
• What happened to that handsome Leslie Nielsen lookalike who won assessor-treasurer last time?
• Why is a Tacoma city councilwoman pretending to be county auditor?
• Gee, my wife will be disappointed to hear elections are now all-male.
• Yippee, a second chance to try ranked-choice voting!
Curiouser and curiouser: Always fun to see what our little Nostrils will wear for Halloween. But what we've really been waiting for is Gov. Chris Gregoire's costume selection for her swan song as state candy-distributor-in-chief.
After giving gubernatorial fashion commentary for the last seven Halloweens, we were hoping for a showstopper. What the children of Washington will get is ...
Alice in Wonderland.
Curious choice? Nah. It sums up this guv's tenure in O-Town.
Female protagonist goes down a rabbit hole into a surreal world of nonsensical characters – a place of madness where "we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place."
Shucks, it even has a rude tea party.
Now Gregoire will return to the real world. The big question left hanging until Election Day is who will replace her.
If you believe the ads, it's either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum.
An even better costume: The way Gregoire's been getting her passport stamped on junkets – sorry, "trade missions" – lately, she should've dusted off her Halloween get-up from 2008.
Dora the Explorer.
And Tigger was clearly on cocaine: Regardless of your stance on legalizing pot, you gotta hand it to Washington's neo-hippie entrepreneurs. They don't lack for creativity with their "medibles" and other merchandise.
Consider the Tacoma medical-marijuana club that got busted a week ago for selling an unlicensed product.
Cannabis Enriched Honey Beer.
Sounds like a treat Winnie the Pooh might've enjoyed during his experimental college years.
JZ rhymes with crazy: Have you heard the anti-Catholic, anti-semitic screed that New Age guru JZ Knight spewed in a video making the rounds on YouTube?
If you ever wondered whether a Yelm cult leader who claims to channel a 35,000-year-old warrior spirit named Ramtha could go any farther around the bend, the answer is yes.
Memo to JZ: Profane rants against entire faith groups are so ugly, no plastic surgery can cover it. Go back to channeling Ramtha; quit channeling Mel Gibson.
Goof or truth?: Thousands of Jefferson County ballots were mailed last week referring to our country as the "Untied States."
Ha, ha. A cute typographical error, right?
Then again, we live in a country where millions of adults vote every four years – or not at all. Where political ads make viable candidates look as evil as the Jabberwocky. Where mad haters like JZ Knight hold power and influence.
Maybe we're fit to be untied.

Britain's late TV presenter and radio host Jimmy Savile sexually abused hundreds of people and carried out more than 30 rapes, police said Friday, as they unveiled a report exposing "vast, predatory and opportunistic" abuses across six decades.
Nearly three-quarters of his victims were children, the report said, with the youngest only 8 years old. Most but not all were female.
Since the inquiry was launched three months ago, about 600 people have come forward to provide information, 450 relating to Savile, London's Metropolitan Police said.
From this, 214 crimes have been recorded, including 34 of rape or penetration, across the country.
The earliest claim against Savile, who was still a household name when he died in 2011, dates from 1955 and the latest from 2009, when he was in his 80s.
Savile used his celebrity to "hide in plain sight" as he opportunistically preyed on the children and young people with whom he came into contact as he presented BBC children's show "Jim'll Fix It" and music show "Top of the Pops," the report said.
Dozens of offenses on BBC premises have been reported across a 40-year span between 1965 and 2006 -- the last at the final recording of "Top of the Pops."
Fifty allegations against Savile relate to hospital premises, including hospices, the report said. Another 14 relate to schools, including a reform school he visited regularly between 1970 and 1978.
The scale of his abuse is believed to be unprecedented in the UK, it said.
The report by London's Metropolitan Police and a child protection charity, the NSPCC, titled "Giving Victims a Voice," brings to a close a sordid chapter.
Police set up Operation Yewtree to investigate sexual abuse claims after a documentary by broadcaster ITV in October unleashed a flood of allegations against the star, who before that was seen as an eccentric but charismatic man who raised millions of pounds for charity.
The investigation had three strands: one involving complaints against Savile alone, another termed "Savile and others" and a third involving only others. The publication of the report ends the first strand of the inquiry.
However, investigations continue into allegations made against the other suspects, some linked to Savile and others not. A number of arrests have been made.
"It paints a stark picture emphasizing the tragic consequences of when vulnerability and power collide," Commander Peter Spindler, of the Metropolitan Police, said of the report.
"Savile's offending footprint was vast, predatory and opportunistic. He cannot face justice today but we hope this report gives some comfort to his hundreds of victims, they have been listened to and taken seriously. We must use the learning from these shocking events to prevent other children and vulnerable adults being abused in the future. They will get a voice."
The BBC, whose reputation has been tainted by the affair, said it would continue to work with police to investigate the claims.
"The police report into Jimmy Savile contains shocking revelations," a statement said. "As we have made clear, the BBC is appalled that some of the offences were committed on its premises. We would like to restate our sincere apology to the victims of these crimes."
The BBC set up three inquiries of its own amid questions about how Savile's abuses went undetected for so long. One is looking at the culture and practices within the BBC and another at its handling of past sexual harassment claims.
The third, which reported on the broadcaster's decision to drop a program investigating allegations Savile in late 2011, slammed senior management as "completely incapable" of dealing with the crisis that erupted.
The BBC's botched handling of the affair forced the director general, George Entwistle, to resign.

Why some people hate daytime running lights.
I have a friend of mine that for some unknown reason HATES DRLs. I have them on my Silverado and give them zero thought until he brings them up.
He rants on how bulb life is reduced and how it impacts his gas mileage. Seriously, does anyone think that when the DRLs are on that it significantly impacts their fuel economy.
I had a 2008 Silverado and now a 2013 Silverado and I have never even needed to touch the headlight switch. The DRLs are on during the day and the headlights switch on when it gets dark.
As far as bulb life, I had to replace one bulb in the 4 years I owned the 2008 Silverado. My old 2002 Explorer Sport Trac did not have DRLs and had manula headlamps and I had to replace both headlights twice in that vehicle, and to boot the Sport Trac with a V6 engine got worse fuel economy with cr@ppier power than either of my Silverados.

05-13-2013, 05:25 PM #2I have should have DRLs, but they don't work (original owner must have messed with them) so I drive at all times with my headlights on. I like knowing people can see me and its nice having the dash illuminated all the time. I know some think this puts too much draw on the electrical system, but were only talking like 25-30 amps total with brake lights, park lights and headlights as well as interior lights. My factory alt is rated at 100 amps and I only see the voltmeter drop when I put the defroster on while running the blower on high and such. (after my big three upgrade)

05-13-2013, 05:45 PM #3IMO, DRLs might make a vehicle 1% safer in an oncoming traffic situation and probably use 0.05% more fuel. Because of this I give DRLs almost no thought unless someone else brings them up. If a vehicle had DRLs OK, if it does not OK, makes no impact on my buying decision.
Now what I do REALLY like is automatic headlamps on a vehicle. If a vehicle does not have automatic headlamps that does impact my buying decision.
05-13-2013, 10:59 PM #4I don't give it a second thought. Clearly your friend is overly concerned with pinching pennies if he cares about replacing a 3-5 dollar bulb every 4 years and saving however much gas it takes to activate the alternator just enough to supply only the power used by said bulb across the entirety of a given average drive.
Want to get his goat? Talk about how much energy he wasted thinking and b1tching about your DRL's and how it could have better spent on a real problem in the world. That should shut him up.

05-14-2013, 06:36 PM #10I think he's more concerned that GM is "making" him have his headlights on. As I said, I don't even give DRLs a thought until someone else brings them up. If you Google "hate drls", you get a lot of people complaining about them. Seems to me that people have more time on their hands to complain about trivial stuff.
I told him he needs to get a vehicle that has no computer at all.

Aw, jeez, Minnesotans are always talking about the weather
I mean, really, sometimes it just gets ridiculous. This guy jabbers on and on and on for almost 9 minutes about boring ol' weather.

Lithified Detritus:
As a confirmed weather geek, I can only say – WOW!
thunk, hull overheating:
The weather is damned interesting.
Well, we do get such a wide variety of weather in Minnesota, much of it lethal. Right now it is doing its best impression of Antarctica.
I miss green plants and liquid water.
Pfft. That's nothing. Us brits constantly whine about it. Well, I don't but that's because I know better ;)
Nothing you can do about the weather.
Were always talking about it here in SoCal as well. As recently as last Friday, I said "Damn, another 72 degree day in February.".
Seriously, it is usually colder so I had taken out my winter cloths. long pants and long sleeved shirts, so I was actually uncomfortably warm.
impressive for those of us who live inside a hemmed in cityscape and only see a dark sky.
Weather is the thing to talk about, anytime, anywhere. Always.
I've heard tell that God gaves us the weather so that Englishmen would havesomething to talk/complain about.
Akira MacKenzie:
Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody wants to do a thing about it.
Here in New England the saying is "Don't like the weather? Wait 10 minutes, it'll change". While not as EXTREME as Minnesota, but is somewhat more _chaotic_ (I think).
Well, if *you* had the kind of weather they have in Minnesota, YOU'D talk constantly about it too!
Oh….. uh….. wait a minute. You *do* live in Minnesota…..
…..never mind…..
Gaaah! Tornadoes. Don't like. Don't like at all.

High Court Orders Village to Accept Arab Couple |
Written by Ruby Ong |
Adel Ka'adan by his house in Katzir. Israel's High Court of Justice has ordered the Jewish village of Rakefet in the Galilee to accept Fatima and Ahmed Zabidat as members of their community and issue them a construction permit to build their home. The court decided that the village's selection committee had been discriminatory in determining that the Zabidats, who are Arabs, were "not suitable' to become residents of the village. The ruling follows the 2007 High Court decision ordering the Israel Land Administration and Rakefet to set aside land for the couple while the issue of village selection committees was considered. The petition was submitted on behalf of the Zabidats by NIF grantee Adalah: Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. Other members of the NIF family who joined the petition were the Arab Center for Alternative Planning; Bimkom: Planners for Planning Rights; Jerusalem Open House for Pride and Tolerance; Another Voice in the Galilee; and Mizrachi Democratic Rainbow (Hakeshet). While in this instance Rakefet discriminated against Arabs, the petitioners claim that village selection committees systematically discriminate against a range of minority groups including Mizrachi Jews, LGBTs and single parents. Fatima and Ahmed Zabidat applied to become residents of Rakefet in 2006 after graduating from the School of Architecture at Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, but were told they were "unsuitable." In their rejection letter, Fatima was described as "too individualistic" while Ahmed allegedly "lacked interpersonal sophistication." After hearing the court's decision allowing them to join the Rakefet community, Fatima Zabidat said she was delighted. "We have no problem handling living in a Jewish community. We just want to live in a tranquil, well developed place." This latest court order follows the successful petition to the High Court in the late 1990's by flagship NIF grantee Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) on behalf Adel Ka'adan, an Israeli Arab who was refused a home in the Jewish village of Katzir explicitly because he was an Arab. Consequently, minority applicants were labeled "socially unsuitable" to disguise discrimination. |

Back fears for Strictly's Natalie
12:28am Thursday 17th October 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Actress Natalie Gumede could be forced to miss this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing as she awaits a medical opinion an agonising back problem.
The former Coronation Street star had to miss training yesterday and went for an MRI scan amid fears that she may have slipped a disc which would cast a shadow over her involvement in the show.
Natalie has already proved to be a dancefloor talent, topping the leader board again at the weekend after achieving a score of 36 from the awestruck judging panel for her rumba to Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie.
She will see a consultant this morning after taking painkillers and r esting at home to reduce the swelling.
She is awaiting the results of her scan to find out the extent of her injury and to see whether she is able to continue training with professional partner Artem Chigvintsev.
He said: "We had to finish rehearsal early on Tuesday because of the pain in Natalie's back - if it is serious she might not be able to continue."
A show source said: "She had a slight fall in training on Tuesday which may have contributed to aggravating an old back injury.
"She fears the worst and would hate not to be able to perform on Saturday. It may be touch and go, we'll have to wait and see."
Natalie, who became the early favourite to win the contest, is due to perform a quickstep to Yeah by Usher if she manages to compete on Saturday.

I recently picked up a harshly cleaned large cent and was wondering if anyone offers a recoloring service for these.
I recently picked up a harshly cleaned large cent and was wondering if anyone offers a recoloring service for these.
You might send an email to Robert Dunfield, see link below.
I have never used his service so I can't testify to the quality of his work, simply pointing you in his direction.
Copper Frog
I just looked at the photos provided and what's funny (funny for lack of a better word on my part) is the original coins shown before preservation look more desirable to me than the recolored. I guess to each their own. I figure that unless you're in a hurry an LC will re-tone in time.
Boy, I don't know if my "thinking cap" was on the first time I viewed Robert Dunfields examples of his work. The coins look very nice!!! Does anyone know if this is a long term process for him, or does it just take a relatively short time depending on his schedule?
Unfortunately Mr. Dunfield passed away in 2010. He was a fine gentleman. I bought several coppers from him over the years.
Oh, sorry to hear that....Has someone picked up where he left off?
Last edited by EO coins; 11-25-2013 at 11:02 PM.
Whether or not recoloring should be attempted depends pretty much on what the coin looks like now. Is it low or high grade? Corroded or otherwise smooth? Without seeing the coin (pictures at least), it's impossible to give good advice. If the coin is smooth and higher grade, I wouldn't recommend recoloring at all. If it's lower grade and/or corroded, it's probably OK to do it.
Keep in mind, however, that recoloring is an iffy process at best. Even in skilled hands, it only gives satisfactory results sometimes. All methods I have heard of use sulfur, which reacts chemically with copper, further corroding the surface of the coin. If you use very little and stop the process before you think it is done, sometimes you can get pretty good results. However, if you let it get too dark, the sulfur will microscopically pit the surface of the coin, making it worse than before it was recolored.
I know a number of people (including dealers) who recolor coins with sulfur ointment. That should be used ONLY for retouching small high points that are too bright for the rest of the coin.
Use any of these products at your own risk.

The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is closely monitoring how the Town of Timmonsville is handling a problem that led to a major sewage spill, Sunday night.
The town's lift station on Main Street went down causing the pumps to stop, according to Jim Beasley with DHEC.
As a result, Beasley said, there was a significant overflow of sewage.
The town called in crews from the City of Florence who helped to fix the problem.
Timmonsville officials are now taking samples of water to determine where high levels of fecal matter remains.
Those results will tell them where additional cleanup is needed, Beasley said.
A sewer line cave in near the lift station is believed to have caused the station to shutdown.

Hi folks, I want to take up learning about a battle I know almost nothing about: Cedar Creek. One problem, though. I can find info on the internet (I just printed out what looks to be a pretty good explanation by Dan Reigle of the Cincinnati CWRT) but I'm kind of old fashioned--I need books to go back to, make notations in, and put book marks in! I spent this afternoon at the local Barnes and Noble and Borders, and wasn't able to find a thing! Is there any such thing as a good book on Cedar Creek, or maybe one that covers more than one of the Shenandoah Valley battles that has good info on Cedar Creek? If you can help, I'd really appreciate it! Pam |

Pam, There are a couple of older books that I have read on the Battle. Thomas A. Lewis had a book out on the campaign back in 1991..."The Guns of Cedar Creek". Pretty decent book. Jeff Wert also had a fine study on the Valley Campaign of 1864 that includes information on Cedar Creek. The title is " From Winchester to Cedar Creek: The Shenandoah Campaign of 1864". Scott Patchan has a newer book that came out last year on the 1864 Valley Campaign as well. It is titled "Shenandoah Summer: The 1864 Valley Campaign". All can be found on Amazon.com. Regards from the Garden State, Steve Basic |

I would recommend Jeff Werts' "Winchester to Cedar Creek", There is also the E.J Stackpole book "Sheridan in the Shenandoah" a little dated in its prose but comprehensive. I would also suggest a look at the Time Life volume "The Shenandoah in Flames" not only for a pretty good description of the battle but for some great artwork done at the time by James E Taylor, artist-correspondent for Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. |

Basecat and fedreb, Thanks for your help. Looks like this will keep me busy for a little bit! I am really just starting to look at the battle, but I was really intrigued by a quote I found by Confederate General John Gordon about the battle: "a most brilliant victory converted into one of the most complete and ruinous routs of the entire war." Certainly has me interested! Pam |

The Falcons, in a salary cap move, are set to release starting right tackle Tyson Clabo later today. "We're really disappointed," said Clabo, who was notified about the release at 7:30 a.m. Thursday. "This was unexpected." The move, which will be announced as a post-June 1 cut, will save the team $4.5 million. The team is currently $2.9 million under the salary cap and are positioning themselves to take on a big contract extension for quarterback Matt Ryan

Some shampoo products are formulated with ingredients for specific hair types. Moisturizing shampoos contain emollients that replace moisture in the hair strands to soften brittle tresses. Smoothing shampoos often feature ingredients that reduce frizz, while volumizing shampoos add to the width of the strands to plump fine or thinning hair and make it appear fuller. For men and women with curly or wavy locks, curl shampoos make styling easier after showering. These products help to define curls and minimize the likelihood of frizz and fly-a-ways.
The scalp and hair can suffer from many different problems that produce uncomfortable or embarrassing symptoms. Top hair care brands offer shampoos that contain medicinal or natural ingredients to help alleviate some of these symptoms to beautify the tresses and restore self-confidence.
Dandruff shampoos
reduce scalp flakes and decrease the likelihood of their return. Hair loss shampoos stimulate the hair follicles to encourage growth and may work against the effects of the androgen sex hormones that contribute to the most common forms of baldness in men and women. There are even shampoos available to help lighten discoloration in the hair caused by chlorine.
Nowadays, people are busier than ever, and many men and women find that they don't have much time in their schedules for complicated, multi-step hair care regimens.
Shampoo plus conditioner
products help to solve this problem by combining the surfactants found in shampoos with the moisturizers and nutrients found in conditioners into single formulas. As a result, you simply lather and rinse one time to get the benefits of both products.
Dry shampoos
are special products that absorb oil and dirt from the scalp and strands but do not require rinsing. These formulas are usually powder-based and may be sprayed onto the hair or shaken onto the scalp. Both dry shampoos and shampoos plus conditioners are very convenient for traveling and using on the go as well as at home.
Whether you prefer a high-end salon shampoo or are looking for an affordable cleansing solution for daily use, you're sure to find the perfect product here at drugstore.com. Use the menus on the left-hand side to narrow your search and quickly find the best formulas for your hair.

The cost sharing problem is a kind of game, in which the costs of an common infrastructure among different members of an organization or a cooperation is partitioned. The requirements of such cost allocation are efficiency, equity, and incentives. Cooperation can reduce the expenses, but cooperation can only occur if all parties can agree, how much everyone must pay. The question of the project cost sharing is, how the common costs of a cooperation are allocated fairly to the members? The cooperative game theory offers the suitable tools for the investigation of this question. We consider several concepts from the cooperative game theory, for example, the core, the kernel, the nucleolus or the Shapley value. | |

Sāmarrā (Arabic: سامَرّاء) is a city in Iraq. It stands on the east bank of the Tigris in the Salah ad-Din Governorate, 125 kilometers (78 mi) north of Baghdad and, in 2003, had an estimated population of 348,700.[1] The town has produced several Shia scholars.[2]
In 2007, UNESCO named Samarra one of its World Heritage Sites.[3]
Ancient Samarra[edit]
The remains of ancient Samarra were first excavated between 1911 and 1914 by the German Archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld. Since 1946, the notebooks, letters, unpublished excavation reports and photographs have been in the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
Though the present archaeological site covered by mudbrick ruins is vast, the site of Samarra was only lightly occupied in ancient times, apart from the Chalcolithic Samarran Culture (ca 5500–4800 BC) identified at the rich site of Tell Sawwan, where evidence of irrigation—including flax—establishes the presence of a prosperous settled culture with a highly organized social structure. The culture is primarily known for its finely-made pottery decorated against dark-fired backgrounds with stylized figures of animals and birds and geometric designs. This widely-exported type of pottery, one of the first widespread, relatively uniform pottery styles in the Ancient Near East, was first recognized at Samarra. The Samarran Culture was the precursor to the Mesopotamian culture of the Ubaid period.
A city of Sur-marrati, refounded by Sennacherib in 690 BC according to a stele in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, is insecurely identified with a fortified Assyrian site of Assyrian at al-Huwaysh, on the Tigris opposite to modern Samarra.
Ancient toponyms for Samarra noted by the Samarra Archaeological Survey are Greek Souma (Ptolemy V.19, Zosimus III, 30), Latin Sumere, a fort mentioned during the retreat of the army of Julian the Apostate in 363 AD (Ammianus Marcellinus XXV, 6, 4), and Syriac Sumra (Hoffmann, Auszüge, 188; Michael the Syrian, III, 88), described as a village.
The possibility of a larger population was offered by the opening of the Qatul al-Kisrawi, the northern extension of the Nahrawan Canal which drew water from the Tigris in the region of Samarra, attributed by Yaqut (Mu`jam see under "Qatul") to the Sassanid king Khosrau I Anushirvan (531–578). To celebrate the completion of this project, a commemorative tower (modern Burj al-Qa'im) was built at the southern inlet south of Samarra, and a palace with a "paradise" or walled hunting park was constructed at the northern inlet (modern Nahr al-Rasasi) near to al-Daur. A supplementary canal, the Qatul Abi al-Jund, excavated by the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid, was commemorated by a planned city laid out in the form of a regular octagon (modern Husn al-Qadisiyya), called al-Mubarak and abandoned unfinished in 796.
Abbasid capital[edit]
In 221/836 the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mu'tasim founded a new capital at the banks of the Tigris. Here he built extensive palace complexes surrounded by garrison settlements for his guards, mostly drawn from Central Asia and Iran (most famously the Turks, as well as the Khurasani Ishtakhaniyya, Faraghina and Ushrusaniyya regiments) or North Africa (like the Maghariba). Although quite often called Mamluk slave soldiers, their status was quite elevated; some of their commanders bore Sogdian titles of nobility.[5]
The city was further developed under Caliph al-Mutawakkil, who sponsored the construction of lavish palace complexes, such as al-Mutawakkiliyya, and the Great Mosque of Samarra with its famous spiral minaret or Malwiya, built in 847. For his son al-Mu'tazz he built the large palace Bulkuwara.
Samarra remained the residence of the caliph until 279/892, when al-Mu'tadid eventually returned to Baghdad. The city declined but maintained a mint until the early 10th century.
The Nestorian patriarch Sargis (860–72) moved the patriarchal seat of the Church of the East from Baghdad to Samarra, and one or two of his immediate successors may also have sat in Samarra so as to be close to the seat of power.[6]
After the collapse of the Abbasid empire in about 940 Samarra was abandoned. Its population returned to Baghdad and the city rapidly declined. Its field of ruins is the only world metropolis of late antiquity which is available for serious archaeology.
Islamic significance[edit]
The city is also home to the al-Askari Mosque, containing the mausoleums of the Ali al-Hadi and Hasan al-Askari, the tenth and eleventh Shia Imams, respectively, as well as the place from where he went into occultation. Muhammad al-Mahdi, known as the "Hidden Imam", is the twelfth and final Imam of the Twelvers. This has made it an important pilgrimage centre for the Twelvers. In addition, Hakimah and Narjis, female relatives of the Muhammad and the Imams, held in high esteem by Muslims, are buried there, making this mosque one of the most significant sites of worship.
The people of Samarra belong to tribes that are believed to be descendents of al-Hussein, son of 'Ali. While the vast majority of Samarra's native citizens are Sunnis who do not share the same religious practices as the Ja'farī Madhhab Shi'a of Iraq, they consider these to be the grave sites of their forefathers and the pillars of Islam ('Ali al-Hadi and Hasan al-Askari).
The Sunnis also pray in the mosques similar to the Shi'a; they also conduct pilgrimages to these sites (coming as far as from South Asia), but they do not believe this to be obligatory, but rather an affair providing spiritual blessings.
Modern era[edit]
During the 20th century, Samarra gained new importance when a permanent lake (Lake Tharthar) was created near the town as a consequence of the Samarra Dam, which was built in order to end the frequent flooding of Baghdad downstream. Many local people were displaced by the dam, resulting in a big increase in Samarra's population.
Samarra is a key city in Salahaddin province, a major part of the so-called Sunni Triangle where insurgents have been active since shortly after 2003 invasion by the United States of America.
Though Samarra is famous for its Shi'a holy sites, including the tombs of several Shi'a Imams, the town is dominated by Sunnis. This has caused tensions, particularly since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
On February 22, 2006, the golden dome of the al-Askari Mosque was destroyed by bombs, setting off a period of rioting and reprisal attacks across the country which claimed hundreds of lives. No organizations have claimed responsibility.
On June 13, 2007, suspected al-Qa'eda insurgents attacked the mosque again and destroyed the two minarets that flanked the dome's ruins. On July 12, 2007 the clock tower was blown up. No fatalities were reported. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called for peaceful demonstrations and three days of mourning. He stated that he believed no Sunni Arab could have been behind the attack. The mosque compound and minarets had been closed since the 2006 bombing. An indefinite curfew was placed on the city by the Iraqi police.[7][8]
Samarra in popular culture[edit]
The metaphor of "Having an appointment in Samarra", signifying death, is a literary reference to an ancient Babylonian myth: Death is both the narrator and a central character, transcribed by W. Somerset Maugham. The story was titled "The Appointment in Samarra", and subsequently formed the germ of the novel Appointment in Samarra by John O'Hara. The original story was re-told in verse by F. L. Lucas in his poem 'The Destined Hour' in From Many Times and Lands (1953).[9]

BAY CITY -- Catholics in Md-Mchigan are learning about the Diocese of Saginaw's restructuring plan that calls for merging some churches while ending regular services at others.
In a press conference Sunday afternoon, Bishop Joseph Cistone announced that all churches across the diocese will be given one of three designations.
Parish Churches will continue to serve as the main church in a parish community. Churches for Additional Use will be used for weekend masses and other services. Churches for Occasional Use won't technically close, but pastoral staff will determine the how the buildings will be used.
Barbara Walkley of Bay City said, "Something has to be done to be able to have more vibrant parishes and deal with the shortage of priests beyond what we've been doing."
The reorganization will affect more than 108,000 Catholics that count themselves members of the diocese, which oversees churches in Saginaw, Bay, Midland and eight other counties.
Last year, church leaders announced the reorganization plan in response to declining membership. The first changes are expected to take effect this July.

Best Uses
I love this shirt! When I first got it I wasn't sure how well it would work, but after trying it out I now want to wear it for every run I do. I've worn it both as a base layer and with a tank under. I've worn it on bike rides, training runs, and a couple races. I always end up the perfect temperature.

WEEI's long-time voice-over guy is legally blind
Listeners to Boston's sports radio station WEEI are likely familiar with the work of Pete Gustin. His is the deep, smooth voice heard in many of the station's show opens, promos, and in the many amusing "bits" created to lampoon sports personalities and even WEEI's on-air personnel.
What most die-hard listeners (including this one) didn't know is that Gustin is legally blind. Think about that for a second. The guy who reads copy for a living... is legally blind.
Gustin has produced a fascinating video that shows how he's become a rising star in the voice-over world -- without the ability to see a script or a teleprompter. Take a look.
We first were alerted to the video through a tweet from someone who's very familiar with Gustin's work -- legendary Boston radio personality Glenn Ordway, who was let go by the station's parent company earlier this year after 27 years at WEEI.
