My dragon sculpture! This isn't clay!
I am actually surprised how well this came out since this isn't even clay. This is what you do. 1- Make a "frame" for the dragon out of wire. 2- Get newpaper and put it on the wire. Tape it so it stays. 3- Get newspaper strips and paper

You may remember... okay, let's be honest - how can you forget this kid. William the Weather Kid made his TV debut here locally with Hutch on KVLY as part of their Weather Kids program - and stole the show.
This week William went national! Check out his appearance on Ellen.
Rumor has it that William will also be doing the weather with none other than Al Roker on the Today Show, but details have yet to be released.

Topic: Master Replicas - 1,500 Fett blasters
This just in...
The blaster is a limited edition of 1,500. In case you missed the details, see our April 6, 2006 report. Our own Blaster4Hire also started a thread on this earlier, here.
On the MasterReplicas.com site right now, it's reporting this at $45... clearly this is incorrect -- someone call them on it -- as the list price is $579.
If you're considering a purchase -- and I assume most younger collectors will pass -- BFFC is in the Master Replicas affiliate program.

The foundation of The Breath of Life is a simple exercise called twenty connected.
Merge the inhale with the exhale so the breath is connected without any pauses. One inhale connected to one exhale equals one breath. All twenty breaths are connected in this manner so you have one series of twenty connected breaths with no pauses.
Consciously pull the inhale in a relaxed manner and let go completely on the exhale while continuing to keep the inhale and exhale the same length. be at sessions, or take my Breath of Life workshop.

News!
The North Face© Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc©
The Bob Graham Round is one of a number of "qualifying races" for the 2009 UTMB©. The Club has been in contact with the UTMB© organisers and has supplied relevant information about the Round to them. The organisers have supplied the Club with its "Qualifying race Ultra-Trail"© logo and when you click on this it will take you directly to their website at. The BG has been awarded 4 qualifying points.
In the past, potential entrants into the UTMB© have emailed PDF copies of their certificates to the race organisers, who have not accepted the certificate as evidence of BG completion. The Club's own membership list is kept as up to date as is sensibly possible, bearing in mind the timing of attempts and the ratification procedure. It is though possible that someone who completes a successful Round will not be shown as a member on the membership list. The club sends the list of the current and previous years' completions to the organisers at the end of October each year.
In those circumstances, members should contact the Secretary by email (see the Contacts page), who will endeavour to assist further (having liaised with the Membership Secretary) by contacting the UTMB© organisers to confirm that the relevant person has completed the Round. The Secretary has a direct email line to the UTMB© Race Director Michel Pelotti and the organising team.

Looking at my messages for this month, I have 18 with neither Subject: line nor message body. Bogofilter scored them between 0.831999 and 0.920263, which makes them spam.

Has. Unfortunately, there’s one more flaw which ideally should make the creative honchos shun her from promoting their products – and that’s her increased weight. But looks like Ash has done something right (in her career and in her past life) to win the implicit trust of brand-makers. She has not just been amazingly focused, but also made sure she looks great neck up, even though her body has resisted going through the turmoil of heavy duty exercise – but hey, has she lost some weight over the past couple of months, Photoshop notwithstanding?
She seems to enjoy lording it over the established Bollywood ladies. And now, as she is effortlessly putting her stamp on big-fat-money-minting-brands, we wonder how she’s doing it all. One of her strategies is, we think, to choose her brands very carefully. From being Goodwill Ambassador with the United Nations to representing Kalyan Jewellers, Ash is not just making mature decisions, but also opting for products and endorsements that complement her age and her subtle yet classy style.
Now that Ash is playing her cards right with her amazingly deft hands, we are glad the former Miss World has very smartly created a space for herself in the advertisement arena. And since she’s ageing gracefully, we think that’s one more reason for her fans and high-end brands to be even more impressed by the beautiful lady…

JAB TAK HAI JAAN song Challa: Shahrukh Khan meets Katrina Kaif
Watch the melodious new song from Yash Chopra’s new musical are written by Gulzar in Punjabi and will therefore take a while to sink in, but for starters the hook line means ‘What are you searching for, oh bohemian?’. Just as with translations of the poem in the posters, we hope this song will be morphed into Hindi so that everyone can understand it better. Talking about this song Yashji said, “Challa from JTHJ is my fav song & it is the song of the film, it is the soul of the film.”
The video captures the beauty of London. Shahrukh is seen wandering through the streets, strumming his guitar and singing the hummable song with all the body language only he can convey. King Khan does odd jobs – washing cars, busking, hauling crates of fish – like he did in My Name Is Khan when he desperately wanted to make money. We wonder what he is looking for in JTHJ…Does he find it when he sees Katrina Kaif as she drops a coin into his hat? Wonder where the story goes from here…
Challa is sung by Rabbi Shergill and is a breath of fresh air in the usually cliched filmi soundtrack we hear these days. Dear Bollywoodlifer, did you like the song?

Fresh off the release of their ‘Home Is For The Heartless‘ DVD release last week, Parkway Drive are now knuckling down on their fourth album in a Los Angeles studio with Matt Hyde, whose vast resume includes Slayer, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, Hatebreed and Children of Bodom. The recording is due to take seven weeks, which is the longest time the band has spent on any album. The yet to be titled album will follow up 2010’s phenomenally successful ‘Deep Blue‘, which debuted #2 on the ARIA Charts and #39 in the US on the Billboard 200, as well as reaching Gold sales and winning the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock and Metal Album in 2010. Vocalist Winston McCall says new material flowed easily in the wake of ‘Deep Blue‘,.” Stay tuned for title, artwork, tracklisting details in the coming weeks. A little more info can be found [Here].

Food Specials:
If you're craving cold beer, hot crabs smothered in Old Bay seasoning and a wooden mallet (you have had a rough week after all, couldn't hurt to crack a few crabs), head to Bar Pilar. For $60 you get a dinner for two consisting of 10 steamed crabs and two side dishes. I'm a fan of Justin Bittner's potato salad as well as their roasted potatoes with aioli. While it's not included with the crab dinner, definitely get the slow-roasted pork shoulder on toasted, crusty bread. Slow roasted pork. Carmelized outer coating. Need I say more?
While Café Saint-Ex is undergoing a kitchen expansion, you can still head to 14th street for their "pop-up patio picnics" featuring burgers, sausages, classic picnic sides of potato salad and grilled vegetables, as well as "poptails," aka boozy cocktail popsicles. The kitchen's expansion is said to be completed in four weeks.
You're tired of the Georgetown scene in the summertime, clogged with tourists waiting to shove cupcakes they've seen on TV in their faces. Frankly, I don't blame you. But here are two reasons why you should check out G-town this month:
1. "Dog Days of Summer" at Bourbon Steak - Pay homage to some local DC food and order a Red Apron Butchery hot dog and a DC Brau American pale ale for $7. The dogs aren't on the menu, so consider yourself in the know now, you hip city-dweller, you.
2. 1789 Summer Special - One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Think it's just reserved for a special night out or when Obama feels like taking a foreign dignitary out for dinner? Think again. From now until September 15 on Sundays through Thursdays, you can get a three-course dinner for $40. You can request a coupon online or mention the deal to your server.
Food Events:
Pig out literally at Bourbon Steak's second annual pig roast on August 14 from 12-3 PM. Chill on the restaurant's patio while you eat homemade bratwursts, sausages, carnitas and more. The restaurant will have a taco stand and their pastry chef Brenton Balika is carrying the pork theme through dessert with ice creams and pies with "pork-filled garnishes." Tickets are $35 for just food or $50 for food and drinks, and you can order them by calling 202-944-2026. They'll have you wee-ing and wah-ing all the way home.
Oyamel is hosting its 4th annual squash blossom festival until August 14. Don't miss their light summer squash soup with corn, tomatoes, squash blossoms and mexican cream, as well as their squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese. And if you're looking for an unusual cocktail, try their "Maria Bruja" which is a blend of zucchini, avocado juice, milagro blanco and mezcal served with a squash blossom chip in a salt-rimmed glass.
Take a bite:.
I am such a food buff so I'll definitely try all those food events that you suggested. I also would be trying cooking vacations soon so that I'll learn how to cook as well.

Hand: A player’s hand is the combination of cards he holds. Play: A single game, from one shuffle to the next is called a play. Pot: The pot is the accumulated pool of money bet by players over the course of a game. A round of poker is a battle for the pot, and the winner of any round wins it as a prize.

Hand Tie or Split Pot: If two players have the same hand then they divide the pot equally between them. When the pool is not exactly divisible then the left over amount goes to the player who called the highest bet. Ante: An enforced bet that must be made by all players before any cards are dealt. An ante encourages action in a game. Rake: A commission charged by a poker room for every hand played. The rake is usually taken as a percentage of the pot in a given hand. For example, if the rake is 10%, and a pot reaches a final of $10, the rake will be $1. Poker rooms generally use rake as their sole source of revenue. Showdown: After the last round of betting in a round of poker, a showdown occurs- players must turn over their cards, and compare their five-card poker hands.
Call: A player may call a bet by putting an amount of money exactly equal to the bet into the pot. For example, if Jim bets $2, and Brian wants to call Jim’s bet, Brian must put $2 into the pot. Fold: A player may fold his hand by laying down his cards, and forfeiting further play in a round of poker. For example, if Jim bets $2 and Brian wishes to fold, Brian must surrender his cards to the dealer, and will remain inactive for the rest of the round. Raise: A may raise a previous bet by putting an amount greater than the bet into the pot. A raise must be at least double the size of the previous bet. For example, if Jim bets $2, and Brian wants to raise Jim’s bet, Brian may put $4 or more into the pot. Check: A player may pass his turn in a round of poker without taking any betting action, only if there are no previous bets in the round. This is known as a check. For instance, if Brian is first to act on the flop in a hand, he has the option of checking his hand, which will put the action on the next player. Also pay attention to the difference in betting structures in limit, no limit and pot limit forms of poker.
Know the order of cards, from low to high- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K) and Ace (A). The ace (A) can usually double as the lowest ranked card as well as the highest. Card suits do not affect ranking- for example, the king of hearts and the king of spades are equal. Final hands in poker are always based on the total rank of five cards.
Familiarize yourself with the definitions of different hands, and with the value of each type. The different categories of five-card poker hands are as follows, from weakest to highest: One Pair, Two pair, Three of a kind, Straight, Flush, Full house, Four of a kind, Straight flush and Royal flush. A given hand beats all hands listed before it.
One pair consists of two cards out of a five-card hand with the same numerical rank. For example: A-A-K-7-6 (a pair of aces), or J-J-8-5-3 (a pair of jacks). If two players show down one pair hands of the same rank, they must compare their next highest card (the kicker) to determine the winner. If the two hands have equal kickers, then the next highest card must be compared- and so on. For example, A-A-7-6-5 (a pair of aces, 6 kicker) beats A-A-7-3-2 (a pair of aces, 3 kicker), since the 6 is a higher ranked card than the 3.
Two pair consists of two different pairs of cards and one other card in a five-card hand. Examples of two pair hands are A-A-K-K-5 (two pair, aces and kings, 5 kicker), and J-J-10-10-7 (jacks and tens, 7 kicker). If two players both show down two pair hands with equal top pairs, the lower pairs are compared, and the highest wins. For example A-A-K-K-5 (aces and kings) beats A-A-J-J-3 (aces and jacks). If both pairs are the same, the kickers are compared. For example, A-A-10-10-5 (aces and tens, 5 kicker) beats A-A-10-10-4 (aces and tens, 4 kicker).
Three of a kind consists of three cards of the same numerical rank in a five-card poker hand. Examples of three of a kind would be A-A-A-3-2 (three of a kind aces), and 5-5-5-K-J (three of a kind fives). If two or more players show down three of a kind hands of equal rank, then the players must compare their kickers. As with pair hands, the hand with the highest kicker wins. For example, K-K-K-A-10 (three of a kind kings, ace and 10 kicker) beats K-K-K-A-9 (three of a kind kings, ace and 9 kicker), since 10 is higher in rank than 9.
Flush consists of five cards in non-sequential order, all of the same suit. For example, A-9-7-5-2 of hearts is an ace high heart flush. K-J-8-6-3 all of spades is a king high spade flush. If two players both show down flushes, then they must compare their top cards to determine a winner. The highest ranked card wins. If these are equal, then they must compare their second highest cards, and the highest wins. If those are equal, then the third highest cards must be compared- and so on. For example, J-9-7-5-2 of hearts beats J-9-7-4-3 of hearts, since the 5 is of higher rank than the 4.
Full House consists of three cards of the same numerical value, as well as a pair. It is useful to think of a full house as containing both three of a kind and a pair. For example, A-A-A-5-5 is a full house, aces full of 5’s. 6-6-6-2-2 is a full house, sixes full of 2’s. If two players show down full houses with three of a kinds of equal rank, the hand with the highest ranked pair would win the pot. For example, K-K-K-8-8 would beat K-K-K-2-2.
Four of a kind consists of four cards of the same numerical rank, and any other card. An example of four of a kind would be, A-A-A-A-3 (four of a kind, aces).
Straight Flush consists of five cards in sequential order, all of the same suit. For example, 7-6-5-4-3 of hearts is a 7-high straight flush.
Royal Flush consists of A-K-Q-J-10, all of the same suit. A royal flush is simply the highest possible straight flush- however because of its very high value, it is given a separate name. The suit of the royal flush does not matter- all of them are equal.
Any five-card poker hand that does not fit into one of the above categories is simply known as a high-card hand. When comparing two such hands, the one with the better highest card wins. If the highest cards are equal the second highest cards are compared. If those are equal, the third highest cards are compared, and so on. For example, A-J-9-5-3 (ace high, jack kicker) beats A-10-9-6-4 (ace high, 10 kicker), since the J is higher ranked than the 10.

The first Sin City volume of the Frank Miller library is an exceedingly handsome compilation of the first four books in Miller's gritty pulp-comic series: The Hard Goodbye, A Dame to Kill For, The Big Fat Kill, and That Yellow Bastard. These four stories--Marv's attempt to track down the killer of a perfect woman, Dwight's encounter with his ex-lover, Dwight's ill-fated attempt to teach a lesson to a brutal thug, and Hartigan's attempt to protect a young girl years after he saved her the first time--have the hallmarks that convinced Robert Rodriguez to turn three of them into the Sin City feature film: brutal violence, dangerous femmes fatale, mob leaders and dirty cops, and stark black-and-white art punctuated by the occasional splash of color. They all look great in these four oversized and heavyweight volumes of glossy paper. Also included are many of the color covers from the original Dark Horse comic books, though there's no supplemental art or creator commentary. Regardless, the presentation alone makes this a collection to savor. --David Horiuchi [via]

Right gallantly and well he fought
Hand to hand with as brave a foe,
Their faces hid by the nodding plumes,
And the dense clouds hanging low.
Did they think, these hot-blooded captains,
That Death was so close by their side,
When Howard has fallen, the bravest—
Rung out on the air far and wide.
“Howard?” His foeman kneels by his side,
And raises his head to his knee—
Oh, God! that brothers should part in youth,
And thus should their meeting be.
Unheard is the deafening battle roar,
Unseen is that dying look;
He hears but the sound of a childish laugh,
And the song of a Northern brook.
He sees two white forms kneeling
In the twilight sweet and dim,
One low couch angel-guarded,
By a mother’s evening hymn.
The Angel of Death came down with the night,
Came down with the gathering gloom;
God pity the little dark-eyed girl,
Alone in the lonely room.
But still by his side his brother kneels,
Chill horror has frozen his veins;
He heeds not the glancing shower of shells,
That with red fire glitters and rains.
And he heeds not the fiery cavalry charge,
That sweeps like a billow on
To death, oh, the bravest and saddest sight,
That man ever gazed upon!
The last shot! What is one life
To the battle’s gory gain?
But, alas, for the little blue-eyed maid
Away on the hills of Maine!.
“My house is thatched with violet leaves
And paved with daisies fine,
Scarlet berries droop over its eaves,
Tall grasses round it shine;
With softest down I have lined my nest,
Securely now will I sit and rest.
“When their wings break from their silvery shell,
Touched by my tender care,
Here shall my little ones safely dwell,
Little ones soft and fair;
Some summer morn they shall try their wings
While their father sits by my side and sings.”
Hard by, just over the streamlet’s edge
A great rock towered in might,
High up, half hidden in moss and sedge,
Were safe little nooks and bright;
Ah well for the bird with her tender breast,
Had she flown to the rock to build her nest!
Poor bird, she built her nest too low;
Alas! for the bird, alas!
That she chose that spot to her woe
In the low dewy grass;
For the reaper came with his gleaming blade.
Alas for love in the violet shade!

He had begun little by little to pick up the course of his life once more, and on a certain Wednesday morning was looking listlessly through the morning paper as he sat in his window-seat. The room was delightful, flooded with the morning sun, the Assyrian bas-reliefs just touched with a ruddy light, the Renaissance portraits looking down at him through a fine golden haze; a little fire, just enough to blunt the keenness of the early morning air, snapping in the famous tiled and flamboyant stove. All about the room was a pleasant fragrance of coffee and good tobacco.
Vandover caught sight of the announcement of the suit with a sudden sharp intake of breath that was half gasp, half cry, starting up from the window-seat, reading it over again and again with staring eyes.
It was a very short paragraph, not more than a dozen lines, lost at the bottom of a column, among the cheap advertisements. It made no allusion to any former stage of the affair; from its tone Ida might have killed herself only the day before. It seemed hardly more than a notice that some enterprising reporter, burrowing in the records at the City Hall, had unearthed and brought to light with the idea that it might be of possible interest to a few readers of the paper. But there was his name staring back at him from out the gray blur of the type, like some reflection of himself seen in a mirror. Insignificant as the paragraph was, it seemed to Vandover as though it was the only item in the whole paper. One might as well have trumpeted his crime through the streets.
“But twenty-five thousand dollars!” exclaimed Vandover, terrified. “Where will I find twenty-five thousand dollars?” And at once he fell to wondering as to whether or no in default of payment he could be sent to the penitentiary. The idea of winning the suit did not enter his mind an instant; he did not even dream of fighting it.
For the moment it was like fire driving out fire. He forgot the loss of his art, his mind filled only with the sense of the last disaster. What could he do? Twenty-five thousand dollars! It would ruin him. A cry of exasperation, of rage at his own folly, escaped him. “Ah, what a fool I’ve been!”
For an hour he raged to and fro in the delightful sunlit room, pacing back and forth in its longest dimension between the bamboo tea-table and the low bookcase, a thousand different plans and projects coming and going in his head. As his wits steadied themselves he began to see that he must consult at once with some lawyer—Field, of course—perhaps something could be done; a clever lawyer might make out a case for him after all. But all at once he became convinced that Field would not undertake his defence; he knew he had no case; so what could Field do for him? He would have to tell him the truth, and he saw with absolute clearness that the lawyer would refuse to try to defend him. The thing could not honourably be done. But, then, what should he do? He must have legal advice from some quarter.

The Universe Against Her Related Titles
With the success of the first Telzey Amberdon stories, Schmitz wrote more novelettes, first published in Analog magazine, then gathered into novel form under the title The Telzey Toy (1973). This book draws Telzey deeper into investigative and intelligence work. The Telzey Toy is an android made in physical and mental imitation of Telzey as a part of an egotistical inventor's plan to perfect his product line of androids, with her unwilling cooperation. The Telzey Toy plays with the question of what constitutes a human identity; whether it consists of a body, a set of memories, or a unique location in physical space.
The Lion Game (1973), a sequel to The Telzey Toy, which was first published in serial form, again in Analog, is a densely-plotted novel about a mysterious race of telepathic giants pursuing a ruthless game of power politics and assassination within the Federation of the...

The Firm Key Questions
While an obvious context for discussing the novel is fiction about the law, a less obvious but equally interesting context is the treatment of success in American literature. In his life through law school, Mitch could be a classic example of the Protestant ethic.
How does the American Dream relate to the trait of acquisitiveness, and how does this character with a Ben Franklin-style work ethic become seduced by the firm, are questions that can open up discussion of The Firm into a debate on what Americans consider to be personal success. Readers could consider whether the initial tempting offerings of the firm seem worth the price of long hours and reduced private life (aside from the firm's illegal purpose).
1. How do you like Mitch? How would you define his personality? As he decides how to resolve his conflict, what matters the most to him?...

The Hope Vendetta
Review
The Hope Vendetta
He turned from the window and walked across to the low table. He put down his empty glass and reached out for the pistol. He picked it up and weighed the heavy steel in his hand. He stared at the weapon a long moment as the moonlight glimmered down its length. He clicked off the safety. The desolation that Benedict Hope felt at that moment was complete and all encompassing. He had lost his will to live, and nothing seemed to be able to pull him out of the morass that engulfed him. Yet, somewhere in the depths of his being, strengthened by his years of experience as a Secret Agent and buoyed by his faith, he decided to meet the challenges that faced him. He would leave the SAS and return to Oxford to complete his theological studies. Somehow, he would learn to live without his beloved wife.
"If you love a good adventure mystery with a bit of Biblical history thrown in, THE HOPE VENDETTA will not disappoint."
Vowing to get some peace and tranquility in his life, Ben is not eager to assist Professor Bradbury when he asks for help to find his missing daughter. Zoe Bradbury is not a child but a grown woman and professional archaeologist, despite the fact that she has an overactive libido and an addiction to the wild side of life. Nevertheless, her parents are worried about her and turn to Ben for help. Ben engages his former colleague, Charlie Palmer, to take on the task, but Charlie soon runs into a snag and insists that Ben join in to lend a hand. There on the Greek Island of Corfu, the simple missing person case turns into a heart-stopping case of Biblical proportions.
As Ben begins to investigate the people and places involved in Zoe's life prior to her disappearance, he finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that will risk the lives of millions of people if it is not uncovered and exposed. This is not an easy task when the conspirators are part of the power structure and famous for their ability to hide in plain sight. What becomes apparent is that Zoe has discovered an important artifact during her last expedition that promises to throw the Christian community into spiritual chaos and the Middle East into flames.
While Ben is an extremely capable investigator, his findings can sometimes lead him to false conclusions, as in the case of televangelist Clayton Cleaver. Certain that he is behind Zoe's disappearance, Ben goes to Savannah, Georgia to confront the man. Cleaver's claim to fame was writing a book that revealed how John the Revelator had appeared to him and verified all the information that is contained in the book of Revelation. He admitted to Ben, under some duress, that this was not true, but he could not afford to have evidence come forth that would prove anything new about the book of Revelation or it would blow his gig.
Upon further investigation, Ben uncovers a plot much more sinister than a greedy televangelist's schemes. While it does not seem possible that people would go to such extremes to secure their evil goals, we need only look at the headlines for proof that they do. In this case, they are willing to start a war between Iran and Israel to prove that the prophecies in Revelation are correct. Of course, they fail to realize that those outcomes are not meant to be in the hands of man but in the hands of God.
If you love a good adventure mystery with a bit of Biblical history thrown in, THE HOPE VENDETTA will not disappoint.

Book Synopsis:.
Author Interview:
Describe your book in five words or less.
Unique plot, never before published
How did the ideas for your books come to you?
When doing yard work, I have lots of time to think about many things. Sometimes, a creative idea comes to mind and I am able to develop it into a story.
What is the hardest part of writing for you? What's the easiest?
The hardest part is making sure that the dialog is natural sounding. Sometimes, it is difficult for the characters to have a detailed conversation without sounding artificial. The easiest part is beginning a new chapter because at this time, I usually have a very clear idea as to where I want to go with the story. It’s then a matter of taking it there.
What's next for you? Are you currently working on or have plans for future projects?
I have completed a second novel titled, Dead in the Water. I am working on the rough draft of a third novel, still untitled, that is probably about 50% completed.
Why did you choose to write for specific genre?
I have a very conservative personality. When I write a suspense thriller, I am able to use my imagination and reach far beyond myself to write about situations that I will never experience in my own personal life.
What's it like hearing that readers are eagerly awaiting your book's release date?
It’s unbelievably flattering. It makes me want to write the best story possible so as not to disappoint whomever might eventually be reading it.
What is one question that you've always wanted to be asked in an interview? How would you answer that question?
Why did I wait so long to begin writing? My answer is that I really don’t know and I now regret that I did. So much time was wasted. I try to accept the old adage that it’s better late than never.
What was your road to publications like?
It had its share of disappointments. I sent out a number of queries that included a short letter and the first 30 pages of the book. Most publishers never responded but a couple requested that I send them the remainder of the book. This indicated to me that my story was generating some interest and this gave me the encouragement that I needed.
Author Bio:

Hearts beating as one hot breathe on the back of my neck. Her lips touching my skin heating it up with jus a simple touch. Her eyes blazing with desire for me, making my body ache for her even more so than before. The kisses exchanged making me dizzy with passion, griping her sides trying to keep her as close to me as possible. My teeth just lightly grazing the soft skin of her neck, just enough to send her into a fit of pleasure. Kissing the small mark left behind from my teeth with more force than the bite, thrusting her into me, driven crazy by her gasps of pleasure. My eyes changing the shade of green that could only mean pure want, and need for her touch. Rubbing her back ever so gently hoping to cause her to arch into me. Slowly running my fingers across her exposed thighs, moving my mouth to her chest, nibbling and licking her sweet nipple marking her as my own. Sliding my fingers into her wetness, clutching her harder when the moan escaped her. Slowly rubbing her using the same two fingers to thrust into her, kissing her hard when her body responded to mine.it was another step in getting closer to her, when I let her see me completely vulnerable. Exposing myself to her, I watched her every move, almost jumpingwith excitement as she took me in with her eyes. No longer able to contain myself I sank my tongue into her, letting her experience what I knew she had not. As I sit here now I think about all the ways I could make it more pleasurable for her. I think about how grand I feel when I touch her, the intense explosionsof desire she sends through me when she touches me in anyway. I think about the dizzying effect she has on me when just glancing. The night we spent together was magical, any time we are near each other; Merlin couldn’t even make enough power come out of his wandto make half of the pure raw power that radiates between us. Her fingers playing with my hair, tracing my neck and spine making me scream for her touch. My breath catches as she kisses me smiling every time our lips break.

"Interning at BAN was an incredible experience on many levels. I was able to contribute to a truly community-based fight for human rights in the borderlands. I was able to develop important skills in community organizing, and I was able to build meaningful relationships that have lasted across the years. My time with BAN helped me grow a great deal -- as an individual, as a community member and as a community organizer -- and I'm so glad for the opportunity."
- Andrew Block, former Border Action Network intern, Vassar College
"As an intern at Border Action Network or Acción Fronteriza, I was able to explore and be an active member in the realm of immigration policy in Arizona.

I hope to continue to apply the information I have learned with Border Action Network to other endeavors related to immigration issues in the future."

As stock markets plunged on Tuesday, some online brokerage companies couldn't keep up with their customers' clicks.
Companies including Vanguard Group Inc. in Pennsylvania, Boston's Fidelity Investments, and Bank of America Corp.'s brokerage unit experienced significant increases in the time it took their computer networks to serve up Web pages for customers to log in and arrange stock trades, according to a survey by Gomez Inc., a Lexington consulting company.
Theoretically the time lags could cost millions of dollars for shareholders trying to rapidly liquidate stocks as they fell -- or, conversely benefit them if they were trying to buy as the price was falling. For Vanguard, the worst performer, response time to provide a series of six Web pages for do-it-yourself stock traders fell from 11.5 seconds on Monday afternoon from 3 to 4 p.m., a typical period, to almost 3 1/2 minutes during the same hour on Tuesday, Gomez said.
Fidelity's response time fell from 19.4 seconds to a minute and 36 seconds during the same periods, Gomez said.
"When we see a site that doesn't perform well, either they haven't taken the time to study their customers or made the investments" in equipment, said Gomez vice president Matt Poepsel.
Vanguard blamed ill-timed system maintenance for Tuesday's performance but said all customer transactions on Tuesday went through.
A Fidelity spokeswoman, Anne Crowley, noted stock exchanges also reported slow transactions on Tuesday and said the company is still studying yesterday's transactions, when it had twice as much retail trading as usual. Customers could also access its phone system and branch network, she said. "There was an extraordinary volume yesterday and all firms were dealing with it," she said.
Reaction by Banc of America Investment Services grew from about 16 seconds to about 81 seconds. A Bank of America spokesman, Jon Goldstein, said it is "assessing the situation and ensuring our customers' needs are met."
Online brokerage houses were just one piece of the world's computerized financial system that was stressed on Tuesday, when the Dow Jones industrial average fell about 200 points around 3 p.m. as investors reacted to worries about Chinese stocks and the US economic outlook.
Another problem was a computer glitch at Dow Jones & Co. that prevented it from updating the index in real time , making the 200-point drop appear to happen in minutes rather than over a longer period.
Giving consumers real-time access to market systems has been a central promise of the online brokerage industry, which had 11.4 million visitors -- mostly users -- in January, according to comScore Networks Inc. in Chicago.
A competing company that also studies online brokers , Keynote Systems Inc. in San Mateo, Calif., said it measured similar lag times on Tuesday. It said that slow responses could drive away customers.
"This cost the brokerage traders a lot in brand equity," said Abelardo Gonzalez, Keynote web performance manager. "These are the days that count. A business is judged by how it performs on the critical days, not on a day-to-day basis," he said.
Gomez found younger companies like ETrade Financial Corp. in New York and TD AmeriTrade Inc. performed fastest Tuesday. ETrade, for instance, had a response time of 4.9 seconds during Tuesday's toughest hour, Gomez reported, just off its time on Monday of 4.6 seconds.
To test the brokerages, Gomez and Keynote have set up networks of their own computers that automatically log into brokerage accounts throughout the trading day. For Gomez's test, Poepsel said it uses computers in 10 cities that contact the brokerages over commercial Internet connections that yield speeds much higher than the typical consumer would experience.
These computers then perform a series of six tasks automatically, including calling up the brokerages' home page, logging into an account, checking a portfolio, ordering, and then confirming a trade. The computers do not execute the trade, but that's less important than getting to that final step, Poepsel said.
"If you have a problem, there won't be an execution," he said.

By Raja Mishra and James Vaznis, Globe Staff | March 14, 2007.
Meehan emerged from an initial field of nearly 80 candidates, dominated by out-of-state academics, by promising university leaders that he would devote much of his time to raising money, particularly to fund teaching and scholarship on nanotechnology, biomanufacturing, and several other new sciences that are the focus of UMass-Lowell's development plans, according to university and local officials.
"Obviously, over a period of time, I've become one of the more prolific fund-raisers in Congress," said Meehan, whose campaign chest is one of the richest in Congress. "The ability to meet with people, to get them enthusiastic, the ability to identify people who would be willing to contribute -- these are all things I bring."
Officials in the Merrimack Valley, which has struggled with a steady loss of manufacturing jobs, said they hoped a galvanized UMass-Lowell would translate into economic benefits for the region by attracting high-tech businesses.
"The fact that he sees the university's role as, certainly, educating students, but also as developing programs that are going to put the university -- and by default the entire region -- at the forefront of this technology, is promising," said Lowell's mayor, William F. Martin Jr., who was on the 21-member search committee that selected Meehan as one of three finalists last month.
Jack M. Wilson, UMass president, called Meehan yesterday morning to inform him that he had been selected for the post. The university's board of trustees is expected to ratify Wilson's choice at a meeting scheduled for today. Meehan, born and raised in Lowell, plans to leave his position on Capitol Hill in July, ending a career that spawned historic legislation on campaign finance reform and tobacco control.
"The decision to leave the House has been the most difficult professional decision of my life," the seven-term congressman said. "But I believe ultimately that education and a technology-driven, highly literate workforce will determine the fate of my region, the region where I grew up."
Wilson said that throughout the selection process, he repeatedly asked Meehan whether he was sure he wanted to give up his political career for the chancellorship.
"He has never been more passionate about the university than now," Wilson said. "We are very fortunate to have someone with Marty Meehan's talents and expertise and that he is an alum."
Meehan will leave behind a new Democratic majority in Congress, where he recently took over as leader of a key House Armed Services subcommittee.
Before heading to Washington, Meehan, 50, served in the Middlesex district attorney's office and as a deputy secretary of state. He and his wife, Ellen T. Murphy, have two sons.
Salary and benefits still have to be negotiated, but Wilson said Meehan would probably earn slightly more than the previous chancellor, William T. Hogan. Hogan's salary was $235,800, and he also received a $28,000 housing allowance. As a representative, Meehan earns $165,200 a year.
Meehan's interest in the job initially drew skepticism from some professors and members of the search committee, who were concerned that a politician might not have the necessary skills to lead the 11,000-student university. Meehan graduated from UMass-Lowell in 1978; he also has a master's degree in public policy and a law degree from Suffolk University,
"Like most academics, one is always worried that someone coming from a political background will not understand the academic needs of a university," said Julie Chen, a professor of mechanical engineering and a member of the search committee. "But I think he can turn this into a top-tier education and research institution."
The two other finalists for the position were David C. Chang, chancellor of Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, and Nabil A. Ibrahim, vice chancellor of academic affairs at Purdue University's campus in Calumet, Ind.
According to search committee members, Meehan converted skeptics during interviews and in a meeting with faculty, staff, and students on campus last week, when he shared his personal story as a son of working-class parents who earned a degree at Lowell and later secured millions of dollars in federal grants for his alma mater.
"He has been a real champion for this campus in Washington, and losing him there will be one downside," said Stephen McCarthy, director of the university's Biodegradable Polymer Research Center, " but I think he will be able to do more on campus."
During his campus visit last week, Meehan said he intends to spend half his time fund raising. In the past four years, budget cuts have shrunk the university's fund-raising operation from 22 full-time employees to 15. Despite the cuts, the university has met or slightly exceeded its goals for the three previous years and has raised $5.4 million, or 60 percent of its target goal, this fiscal year.
"We've been doing pretty good, fund-raising-wise," said John Davis, vice chancellor for university advancement, "but what we really need is a chancellor who will push us over the finish line."
The university has set an ambitious goal of doubling its endowment to $40 million by 2009; with Meehan's fund-raising prowess, Davis said he believes the goal can be raised even higher.
Meehan was well known on Capitol Hill for his tenacious fund-raising. As of Dec. 31, Meehan had $5.1 million left in his political coffers. Federal laws require him to spend the money on his political operation or give it to political parties or charities.
Since Meehan won office in 1993, UMass-Lowell has received more than $200 million in federal funds, much of it for scientific programs championed by the congressman.
Meehan will arrive just as the fruits of his legislative efforts are becoming apparent on campus. The university is planning the construction of an $80 million bio- and nanotechnology research center, part of a broader $266 million initiative to renovate dozens of buildings, classrooms, and laboratories.
Education specialists said the timing is optimal for UMass-Lowell to sharpen its focus on engineering and technology, given the demand for well-trained workers in those fields.
"We haven't done a good job preparing our students for those fields, and other countries have," said Paul Lingenfelter, president of State Higher Education Executive Officers, an association based in Colorado that represents public higher education systems. "We can't rely on foreign engineering talent."
Chris Anderson, president of the Massachusetts High Technology Council, said it would be smart for UMass-Lowell to expand its role in the region's technology sector. He said he believes the university should produce more engineers and more research that leads to local start-up firms. The university has a business incubator program that has produced a few strong companies in the region, but local officials said they hoped its booster effect would be far greater under Meehan.
"Marty's awareness of the strategies to foster university-based research and emerging technologies will position UMass-Lowell to be a leader" in the state's economic fortunes, said Anderson, who is also chairman of the state Board of Education.
The Merrimack Valley's textile-manufacturing base all but disappeared in the latter half of the 20th century. Major employers like Wang and Digital either left the area or went under in the 1990s, leaving parts of the region with high unemployment and declining incomes. Lowell has begun reinventing itself as a low-cost housing alternative for Boston-area workers, and technology start-ups have begun locating in the region; however, local officials say the economy is far from robust.
Martin, the mayor of Lowell, said a Meehan-led renaissance at UMass-Lowell could be the catalyst that the Merrimack Valley has needed: "This could replace the manufacturing jobs we've lost."
A small sample of students and faculty interviewed yesterday had few reservations about having a political figure run the university.
"If he can increase the value of a UMass-Lowell degree, that's what matters to me," said Alos Diallo, 25, a senior biology and philosophy major. "Do we need a PhD to run the university? Probably not."
Charles Thompson, a professor of electrical engineering for the past 20 years, said he was not concerned that Meehan has spent most of his professional life in the rough and tumble political world of Washington, D.C.
"Maybe that makes him more qualified," Thompson said with a chuckle.
Globe correspondent Charles Russo contributed to this report.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Senator John F. Kerry asked Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday to address the Democratic National Convention on its opening night and introduce her husband, former President Clinton, ending an intense lobbying campaign by the New York senator's backers angered by her non-speaking role.
The Kerry campaign unveiled its first set of speakers for the convention early this week, including former Presidents Clinton and Carter, as well as former Vice President Al Gore, but the absence of Senator Clinton from the speaker list drew criticism from Democrats, particularly women.
Clinton said she was not disappointed, but a lobbying effort quickly got underway on her behalf.
Kerry, who campaigned in Pennsylvania and West Virginia yesterday, called Clinton and asked her to introduce her husband in a speech before the convention. A representative from Clinton's office said the senator was "honored and delighted" to get the opportunity to address the convention.

An MIT student visiting Wellesley College was hospitalized after he fell about 12 feet inside the Lulu Chow Wang Campus Center around midnight Saturday, police said. The student fell inside the building, from the third floor to a landing on the second floor that juts into the building’s open atrium, Wellesley College police Sergeant William Bowman said. The injured student was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Bowman said. “He was conscious and was able to speak to the officer,” Bowman said. A Wellesley College police officer is investigating. Bowman said he did not know whether drugs or alcohol were involved. The center is open to students 24 hours a day. There was a concert on a lower floor earlier Saturday evening.

"The bad boy of the spiced rum category draws on tattoo culture and high alcohol content. Despite the sweet
almost root beer-like caramel fragrance
the mahogany liquid is brawny and dry. Look for bitter cocoa up front
cinnamon and allspice notes. A good foil for drinks with sweeter ingredients."

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon—America's Lothario and America's Sweetheart—are an oddly apt pairing in Seth Gordon's middleweight comedy about a supposedly rock-solid couple undermined by a day with their families. As the biggest romantic comedy debut in months, Four Christmases is poised to rake in the lets-take-grandma-to-the-movies holiday cash, and its appealing trailer has guys secretly hoping their women will drag them along.
Witherspoon stands 5'2"; she barely reaches Vaughn's elbow. But in their first scene she sets her Tracy Flick jaw and tears a too-hesitant Vaughn into bite-sized pieces. It's a seduction game, but the intent is to prove the giant and the pixie are equally matched. Which is ideal in the first act when they're charging through life together like two headstrong bulls. Vaughn and Witherspoon are that smug city couple who knows everyone else is doing it wrong. An engaged couple in their ballroom dance class find themselves on the receiving end of their chirpy argument against the responsible breeder route of marriage and babies. That couple must hate them—we would, a little—if it weren’t for the way Vaughn lovingly, unknowingly plays with Witherspoon's ponytail. (Even worse for everyone else's romantic self-esteem, they're taking the class simply because they love doing everything together.)
Flying to Fiji for Christmas instead of clocking time with their four sets of estranged parents (instead of volunteering in Burma, their given excuse), the couple is ratted out by network TV when all flights are canceled. We've enjoyed their cocky selfishness; just as much, we bask in schadenfreude when they get guilted into making the familial trail of tears. But too soon, Matt Allen, Caleb Wilson, Jon Lucas and Matt Moore's script pressures us to be with them, not against them. Sympathy sucks the poisonous fun from the comedy's redemptive last stretch. The early visits have a wicked glimmer—their first visit with Vaughn's dad (Robert Duvall) is a riot. Jon Favreau and Tim McGraw play Vaughn's short, powerhouse brothers Denver and Dallas—bottom tier UFC fighters—and without question the best gag in the flick is when Favreau pins Vaughn, dry humps his armpit, then derisively throws him a crumpled dollar bill.
Reese Witherspoon, like most females in comedy, falls victim to more jokes than she gets to crack. Kristen Chenowith has a little more fun playing her fertile, femme fatale sister—a stroke of perfect casting as her sister as she's the only actress shorter, blonder, and squeakier than her co-star. But Witherspoon is allowed a nasty, gleeful smirk when she accidentally knocks a baby's head into a door. The screenwriters have tied her characters arc to a station wagon's-worth of infants. Having revealed her ignorance of all things Pampers, Witherspoon is then prodded to undergo a maternal awakening so that she'll pivot and run contrary to Vince's responsibility-phobic eternal youth, and these two stubborn beasts will draw and quarter their relationship. That they Frankenstein-stitch back together their monster perfection is never in doubt, and to the film's credit, the rift is mended with moderate realism. Such truthiness, however, belongs in a kinder, gentler movie instead of a fanged comedy that voluntarily sacrifices its bite.

Grosses
$13.5 Million Start for 'Star Trek Into Darkness'May 17, 2013 11:51 AM
Paramount's Star Trek Into Darkness started out its domestic run with an opening day take of $13.54 million on Thursday (an estimated $2.0 million from Wednesday night IMAX showings are included within the reported figure). While Star Trek Into Darkness led the daily box office comfortably on Thursday, the film's opening day performance left a lot to be desired for a highly anticipated sequel of its size. With that said, it is extremely likely that the last minute release date change to Thursday took a toll on the film's box office potential yesterday, though to exactly what degree remains to be seen until Friday's performance plays out. In comparison, Thursday's performance for Star Trek Into Darkness was 46 percent softer than the $25.04 million opening Thursday take of 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and 1 percent stronger than the $13.37 million opening Thursday gross of 2009's Terminator Salvation.
Check back throughout the weekend for further updates on the box office progress of Star Trek Into Darkness.
In other box office news, Warner's The Great Gatsby continued its stronger than expected box office run on Thursday with a second place take of $3.43 million. The Baz Luhrmann directed film starring Leonardo DiCaprio was down 12 percent from Wednesday, which represented one of Thursday's stronger daily holds among wide releases. A bit surprisingly, The Great Gatsby has now topped Iron Man 3 at the daily box office for two consecutive days. However, Iron Man 3 should move back ahead in the rankings over the weekend due to the greater appeal of Iron Man 3 with family audiences. The Great Gatsby placed in second for the week with a seven-day start of $66.74 million. That places the film 75 percent ahead of the $38.14 million one-week start of last year's Dark Shadows.
Disney's Iron Man 3 placed in third with $3.297 million. In the process, Marvel's blockbuster superhero sequel surpassed the $300 million mark yesterday. Iron Man 3 reached the milestone on its fourteenth day of release (which ties it with 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as the fourth fastest film ever to reach the $300 million mark). In addition, Iron Man 3 has now surpassed the $1 billion mark at the global box office with a current global haul of $1.0008 billion (current domestic and overseas totals stand at $301.89 million and $698.9 million respectively). Iron Man 3 was the week's top film with $89.47 million for the frame. That represented a 58 percent decline from the film's opening week performance.

Stories is such a great chapter in Mitten Strings for God - so much imagination and insight. Stories are a HUGE part of our family thanks to Will... but I'll fill you in on that in a later post! Here's a few excerpts from the author, Katrina Kenison, for us to think about for this week's Simple and Slow Friday.
...I didn't have the nerve to tell stories to my children. I felt I lacked the spontaneity, imagination, and wisdom necessary to make up stores off the cuff, and I was sure I didn't have the time to sit down and work out a full-blown narrative in advance...
Several months later, I joined a storytelling class taught by a therapist and former Waldorf teacher named Nancy Mellon. Each of us, it turned out, was there for the same reason - we yearned to cast magic spells, to spin tales of wonder, to enchant our children with stories - and yet none of us felt quite up to the challenge. (p. 70)
According to Nancy, our first task as storytellers is to become good listeners and good watchers. And so, at her suggestion, I began to look upon the world itself as the raw materials for stories. Suddenly, the moon, the stars, even the raindrops sliding down the windowpanes, all became imbued with life.
Years ago, parents told stories to children both to entertain them and to teach them about the world's complexities. But we lost the art of storytelling when we lost that sort of open-ended time with our children, the reflecting, wondering, watching time that gives rise to stories. (p. 71)
Where do our children hear most of their stories today? More often than not, they receive their stories from the media, from huge international corporations who need to make a profit, and who do so by "entertaining" us. These mass-produced commercial stories may capture our children's attention, but they will not stir their sense or open their hearts.
The stories we mothers can tell are different. They are food for the soul, and they nourish us, the storytellers, as well as the listeners. Telling a story is really a way of breathing deeply with our children. (p. 72)Someplace deep within me, I carry every story I have ever heard, every story I have ever lived, every story I will ever need.
(p. 77)
How do stories play a part in your lives? I'd love to know! I'll have Mr. Linky up next Friday for your thoughts (and maybe even a story?) (Click here for the posts on Stories)
Click here to be directed to Wants and Needs. (yes, I'm a week behind...)
2 comments:
i have had anything but slow and simple anydays...which, is totally grating against my skin (the wrong way) pray for me...hope y'all are healthy and content!
Does this mean I'm a week ahead? I tagged you...come by the site and see what bits of information you're only slightly obligated to reveal about yourself. :)
p.s. Justice put you on his list of "cool people I know" at school

BPZ Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with license contracts covering approximately 1.9 million net acres in four properties in northwest Peru. The Company is currently listed both on the New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores in Lima, Peru under the ticker symbol BPZ.
The Company is currently producing oil from the Corvina and Albacora fields at offshore Block Z-1. A 1,600 square kilometer 3D seismic survey, which was initiated in 2012 and completed in early 2013, will better define the exploration and development projects at Block Z-1. In addition, a new CX-15 platform (shown left) has been fabricated and placed at Corvina to begin a drilling campaign to develop its proved undeveloped reserves. Block Z-1 operations are being conducted through a joint venture partnership with Pacific Rubiales Energy.
Onshore, the Company has focused on seismic data acquisition at Blocks XIX, XXII and XXIII to lay the groundwork for exploration drilling in the future. The Company also owns a non operating net profits interest in a producing property in southwest Ecuador.

A to homeowners whose properties are tainted with the corrosive material.
The settlement covers 2,000 to 3,000 homes in Florida, after a class action lawsuit claimed that Banner misled consumers about the product’s safety.
“This is a substantial development in Chinese drywall litigation,” said Ervin Gonzalez, a Miami attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case, in a statement. “It enables Florida homeowners to get some relief from their ongoing Chinese drywall issues.”
Chinese drywall was imported into the United States in large batches after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, in response to a need for the reconstruction of homes. In areas in South Florida like Homestead, Miami and Kendall, new single-family homes were being built, occasionally with drywall from China.
That drywall was later discovered to contain toxins that corroded pipes and electrical wiring, emitted foul odors and allegedly caused headaches and breathing problems.
The discovery led to thousands of lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors and installers of Chinese drywall, including Banner.
Banner claims that it bought the drywall from a German-based manufacturer that lied about the quality of the product. “We are settling this matter to bring a resolution for our customers and to allow the homeowners to fix their homes,” said Michael Peterson, Banner’s counsel, in a statement.
Because Banner Supply Co. provided most of the drywall used in Florida construction, it’s likely that many Manatee County residents will be affected by the preliminary settlement reached today, said Jordan Chaikin, a partner with one of the dozen law firms representing plaintiffs in the class action suit.
“Unfortunately, Manatee County and all the way down to where we are, in Lee County, are the epicenter of the Chinese drywall epidemic,” said Chaikin, a partner with the law firm Parker, Waichman, Alonso LLP, which is based in New York City but has a Florida office in Bonita Springs.
That’s because Southwest Florida had one of the highest appreciating real estate markets between 2004 and 2006, and was also hard-hit by a string of destructive hurricanes. generating lots of construction, Those two factors meant lots of construction -- and lots of contaminated drywall installed in new and renovated homes, Chaikin said. “Domestic manufacturers didn’t have the capability to keep up with demand,” he said.
The Parker law firm represents more than 1,000 Florida plaintiffs in the class-action suit, which will likely involve more than 10,000 people nationwide. A process for distributing proceeds of the $55 million settlement is still in negotiation, Chaikin said.
“If somebody suspects or has confirmed through their builder that they have Chinese drywall and have not retained an attorney to represent them, it’s imperative that they do that immediately,” Chaikin said.
Banner expressed plans to seek damages against manufacturers that sold defective drywall, the company said.
The $54.5 million settlement will be paid out by Banner’s insurers, and it equals the total amount available to the company for drywall related insurance claims, Tuesday’s court filing said.
Those eligible for the most recent settlement will be notified by mail and in various media outlets within 35 days if the settlement is approved by a federal judge in New Orleans.

ECWCS GENERATION III: LEVEL IV
WINDSHIRT “Very Unique”
New Technology:The army issued wind jacket is a very unique clothing item that doesn’t compare to any other product the military has used in the past. You can compare the Generation III silk weight items against the “old school” sleeping shirt. You can compare the level II grid fleece shirts & trousers against the previous military issued thermal underwear. You can also compare the level VI Gore-Tex system against various wet weather garments, but what can you compare a wind shirt against? As far as I’m aware there is no comparison. The wind Jacket is the first of its kind. The wind jacket is loose, airy and very comfortable. Personally, I wouldn’t describe it as a wind breaker because it looks more like a shirt. This explains why it is commonly called the “wind shirt” by soldiers. When I think of the Extended Climate Warfighter Clothing System or ECWCS, I tend to think of extreme cold weather clothing items, but the wind jacket is an odd fit in this package. When I visualize myself using this product I can see me wearing it on a blistering hot day at Ft. Hood Texas or Ft. Sill Oklahoma. It would be ideal in a hot dry setting where the winds were flowing across the plains. Other than an additional layer of clothing, I don’t know how this product fits into a cold weather clothing system. Since I’m somewhat confused by this product I will provide the following information that I found on an official web site: “The GEN III Wind Jacket is designed to act as a low volume shell layer that optimizes the moisture wicking properties of other GEN III insulating and next-to-skin levels. It is also designed to be worn under body armor.”
G.I. Generation III Level IV Wind Shirt:Purchase Windshirt Here - $49.95
• Constructed with MILLIKEN® nylon spandex material with a water resistant finish • Optimizes moisture wicking properties of other GEN III layers • Designed for wear under body armor and with the ACU • Increased wind and sand protection • Extreme low weight and bulk • Angled chest pockets with mesh lining for ventilation • Velcro closure sleeve pockets • Elasticized cuffs • Velcro fasteners for rank and name plates • Color: Universal Camouflage
Why you should have one:Since my days as a soldier are long behind me, I tend to look at the wind jacket for use in many civilian applications. I often wear it camping during the summer or when I’m chopping wood at my friend’s hunting camp in early fall. Its loose airy feel is ideal when I’m overly active. It helps me stay cool and dry, and I simply love the way it feels. Comprised of 100% nylon and made by prestigious companies such as Patagonia, it is obvious this product is well constructed and built to last. Once again, I use this product as a shirt rather than a jacket. When the wind jacket was first introduced it was one of my better selling items. This is especially true for Bradley’s mail order operations. Over the years it has produced excellent customer feedback, and I have recommended it to many customers including soldiers and survivalists. Today demand for the wind shirt has declined, and I don’t know why. It is a good product with reasonable price. For the most part, Bradley’s sells wind jackets to soldiers that lost the item and need to clear the Central Issuing Facility or CIF. I don’t sell many wind shirts to civilians these days. Perhaps it has lost its new exciting image, but I wouldn’t read into this statement. The wind jacket is an outstanding piece of military clothing, and there are many practical applications for it in civilian settings. Overall, I would rate the wind jacket highly. I wish I was able to use it during my years in the Army, and I would recommend it to any soldier. Its loose light fit is very comfortable, and it is money well spent. If you are an elite soldier or rugged survivalist I encourage you to try this product. I’m confident you will like it.

THE CONCEPT
Any time, any place, any device.
Here at Elemental Crafts, we believe we are in the midst of the next great transformational wave in technology. Mobile interactive devices connected to network clouds are going to change the way we as a society think, play, communicate and work. We have had glimpses of this promise for the last several decades, starting with the Internet and Email, laptop computers, and so forth, but it never quite seemed to materialize into a coherent whole. However, the current generation of mobile smartphones and tablets, large format touch devices and cloud computing is now perfectly positioned to begin delivering on the dream of a paperless, always on, connected society.
Mobile devices and cloud computing will allow fantastic new possibilities for mobile workers because you can work right where you are, on site, at home, on the train, using any device convenient. Switching devices when you switch environments and picking up where you left off will be effortless. Your files will always be in the cloud, secure, current, and accessible. These new devices will also allow you to work naturally, manipulating documents using your fingers, voice, or even your gaze. They are small enough to fit into your pocket, or use with one hand. Devices which fit your lifestyle, and still give you the computing power you need to get your tasks done.

Peugeot, Honda and Selfridges back Children in Need
Brands including Peugeot, Honda and Selfridges are showing support for tonight's Children in Need fundraiser with activity including Peugeot replacing its lion logo with Pudsey Bear.
Peugeot: rolls out Pudsey logo
Peugeot is using an image of the charity mascot to replicate the pose of its longstanding lion logo.
Digital agency CMW created the campaign, which includes Pudsey-branded full-page ads in The Sun, Metro and The Times that will be supported by a "Pudsey takeover" of the car brand's social media properties.
Money will be raised for the charity by the Pudsey's Dream Wheels online game, which allows users to design their own car and make a small donation and enter their design into a competition to win a Peugeot 208.
Rival automotive manufacturer Honda is helping raise money for the charity by selling the motorbike ridden by Daniel Craig in the latest James Bond movie, 'Skyfall', on eBay.
The modified Honda CRF250R motorbike is currently being auctioned on the site and featured in the opening scene of Skyfall where Bond rode across the top of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
Bids for the bike will be open until midnight on Thursday 22 November with Honda hoping tens of thousands of pounds will be raised for charity via the auction.
Meanwhile, retail brands including Selfridges and Paul Smith are also supporting the Children in Need fundraiser.
Selfridges is selling a 10-inch version of Pudsey featuring an S-embossed t-shirt and yellow eyepatch, while designer Paul Smith has designed a Pudsey, which was auctioned at Christies yesterday.
Children in Need is running its flagship fundraising show tonight on BBC One and comes at a time of crisis for the broadcaster as it battles to cope with the fallout from the Jimmy Savile paedophilia scandal...

Apple rejects Greenpeace claims after Cork protest
Apple has rejected Greenpeace’s claims that it is not focused on renewables after activisits this morning staged an hour-long rooftop protest at the computer giant’s European headquarters in Cork.
The environmental group said it was aiming to to raise awareness about the growing use and scale of cloud data centres which store information for customers and companies at a central base housing thousands of computers.
Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International executive director, said customers of some of the world leading IT and internet companies want to know the companies’ energy policies are sustainable.
“When.
Greenpeace, which praised Apple’s energy policy in Ireland, also staged protests over cloud computing centres in Turkey and Luxembourg. It is angered over the use of coal generated energy for new cloud sites.
Iris Cheng, campaigner from Greenpeace International, said some major IT companies are not innovative enough about how they power their centres.
“Coal is one of the dirtiest fuels on the planet, causing untold damage to the environment and global climate,” she said.
“A company that prides itself for its vision and innovation should not be using outdated polluting coal.
“The irony here in Cork is that Apple’s HQ is powered by renewable energy sources. The much needed jobs this HQ provides to the local community are also increasing the jobs in the Irish renewable energy sector. Apple has shown it can power with clean energy in Cork, it is now time to clean up globally.” homes.
The report, How Clean is Your Cloud?, found that if the cloud were a country its electricity demand would rank fifth in the world and is expected to triple by 2020.
However Apple said its new data centre in North Carolina will draw about 20 megawatts of power at full capacity and ultimately 60% of its energy from on-site renewables including the largest solar farm and fuel cell generator of thier kind in the US.
A separate site due to open next year in Oregon will be run 100% on renewables.
Apple also said it buys all its energy for the Cork plant from a renewable supplier.

Monitor reveals slight drop in number of job vacancies08/05/2012 - 10:00:43
The number of job opportunities in Ireland decreased slightly during the past month, according to the Morgan McKinley Irish Employment Monitor.
The Monitor reported that the number of new professional job vacancies fell by 4%, from just over 9,200 in March to over 8,900 in April.
However, the number of job opportunities in April rose year-on-year by 5% compared to the same time last year.
Karen O’Flaherty, Chief Operations Officer at Morgan McKinley, said: "Professional job opportunities saw a small month-on-month decline in April 12. This reduction is likely to be a reaction to the ongoing economic domestic uncertainty coupled with the recent European updates of double dip recession.
"Seasonally it is also typical to expect protracted decision making around the Easter and holiday period."
She went on to say that they are seeing "scattered pockets" of hiring within the pharmaceutical, manufacturing and IT sectors - namely Amgen, Mylan and Cisco.
Ms O'Flaherty said: "Positively, professionals are becoming more mobile and flexible in looking for alternative employment and employers are more conscious of the need to offer attractive and enticing remuneration packages to secure this talent.
"April 12 saw a 15% decrease in professionals emerging in to the Irish jobs market. This can be largely attributed to the reduced momentum over the Easter period. The surge of 63% compared to April 11 is a positive sign that passive job seekers are now beginning to explore the jobs market.
"The recent amendments to the draft AWD (Agency Workers Directive) bill, is welcome news for contract and temporary workers in Ireland. We hope that this legislation when enacted, will alleviate the uncertainty and concerns around potential hiring by employers and will not stunt job growth in Ireland in the coming months."

Greeks launch migrants crackdown06/08/2012 - 12:10:00
Around 6,000 suspected illegal immigrants have been arrested during a huge sweep in Athens.
Police said they will deport more than 1,600 of them to their home countries.
Those arrested and awaiting deportation have been sent to temporary holding centres. The rest were freed. Some 4,500 police took part in the weekend roundups.
Greece is Europe’s main entry point for illegal immigrants from Asia and Africa, who are seeking a better life in the West.
Some 100,000 are estimated to slip into Greece every year, mostly from neighbouring Turkey, and the influx has coincided with a rise in crime.

Killed Soldier Warned Obama's Afghanistan Strategy Needlessly Endangering Troops Print Article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 17 Oct 2012 post a comment Young (R-FL) to describe the conditions under which he was fighting and the types of duties he and his men were being asked to undertake. In that correspondence, SSG Sitton wrote: I feel myself and my soldiers are being put into unnecessary positions where harm and danger are imminent. There is no...purpose for the patrols given to us for our chain of command, only that we will be out for a certain time period. We are walking around aimlessly through grape rows and compounds that are littered with explosives. Again, this is limited war at its best, which is limited war at its worst. Instead of using large weapons to level the compounds and areas around the grape rows, we are sending soldiers out on foot to walk through places riddled with IEDs which explode under the pressure of a human foot. SSG Sitton's mother says her son told her that he and his men were given a certain amount of foot patrols they had to perform in such areas over a certain amount of time. She recalled he said they frequently had to "patrol in urine and feces soaked uniforms" just to meet the foot-patrol quota -- but no clear objective or end for the patrols was ever given. As pointless as these endeavors appeared to SSG Sitton, he wrote that he remained "totally on board with sacrifice for [his] country." If we leave Afghanistan prematurely, it will become even more of a terrorists' safe haven than it already is. However, if we keep our men and women in uniform there without allowing them to fight to win, we will have committed an even worse offense than allowing Afghanistan to return to the terrorists. God bless men like Staff Sergeant Matthew Sitton. God bless his mother, and the mothers of all those who are off to war. Comments

A Word of Thanks to the MSM (I Have Greatest Job In the World) by John Nolte 8 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Who would've ever thought that someday I'd be paid actual real-live money to wake up every morning to ridicule, expose and go to war with the most hypocritical, dishonest, snobby, bigoted out-of-touch, provincial, mean-girl institution allowed to operate legally in America. And the media makes my job so easy. The media's so consistently awful, there just aren't enough hours in the day to cover all the material. Post-election, the job's only gotten more amusing. The media's one-ness with Obama is now completely out of the closet as this hive-mind collective comes together to protect Their Precious One from his faltering economy and all the scandal surrounding Libya. Oh, and watching the same media that spent weeks falsely linking Sarah Palin to Tucson now cover-up their own connection to this suspected mass murderer terrorizing Los Angeles… Just wow. And to think, if the media hadn't set the rules for milking human tragedy to score political points, yesterday might have been a total bust. Don't you ever change, Mainstream Media! Comments

Another important message from a Hagel supporter by Joel B. Pollak 22 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: What is it about Hagel that attracts these people? And will any Democrat speak out against them? From the mailbag. Subject: Bunch of crybabies Pollak and Shapiro, grow up and be real men. You just don't want to lose the Hagel battle since you've invested so much ego energy in fighting his nomination. There are so many more important battles to fight but it seems like most of your passion is defending the racist state of Israel. That's why your a blog not a real news website. You're still young synagogue boys trying to act like your tough. You grew up in Los Angeles right. How much time have you spent on Skid Row or in Compton? Bunch of wimpy Jewish suburban boys from rich homes with college degrees. How about a semester in Afghanistan? Naw, you'd rather serve in the IDF killing innocent Palestinian women and children fighting for their land and freedom. Comments

International Arms Race: The Result
03.09.2012
..
- James,
I have a bottle of the BrewDog IRA in hand. On one side it says "made with barley, hops, yeast, water," however on the other side it says "'Zero IUB IPA' is an IPA beer using no hops. The hops are replaced with berries, herbs, and roots" Labling fail? I loved the BrewDog version, sadly my wife loved the Flying Dog version...Christopsy03.09.2012
- James
Where about on the label is the full list of ingredients on the label text on the bottle ?concerned03.09.2012
- I really enjoyed the concept, and thanks for putting it on. Hope you do more in future. Unfortunately I didn't like either beer, both pretty gross, but the no hop idea was worth a shot.PeterG03.09.2012
- Epic events, cool people and killer beers.
thanks for bringing all the cool flying dog stuff
Adrian M03.09.2012
- All the wee doggies leaping to the defense of there master.....Ahhhhhhhhhhneepheed03.09.2012
- enjoyed both beers in glasgow, i would certainly buy both again \m/ \m/
James, quick question, whats the chances of "hello, my name is ingrid" being brewed soon as i miss that cheeky wee beer : )9double903.09.2012
- the format of the event in Camden was just so much find. Blind tasting, customers voting, brewers going head to head on the bar top.
just a brilliant night - thanks to all who helped put it together
Mad Max03.09.2012
- The event at Glasgow was amazing - wicked music and sooo cool to meet the Flying Dog guys. Loved Pearl Necklace.Amy K03.09.2012
- Loved them both. Especially the brewdog one! It is also the favourite beer of my wife. Just bought 24 bottles online - making sure to stock up before it is all gone!
Craft Beer Junkie03.09.2012
- The full list of ingredients was in the label text on the bottle.James, BrewDog03.09.2012
- A full list of ingredients in beer is not a legal requirement in the UK. It should be, but that's a different story. I thought they were both decent, without such a vital ingredient they were both very interesting. @concerned - Just to be safe I suggest you never eat or drink again.Wee Jimmy03.09.2012
- Which one was which? I voted for no. 2 in MancBreakbeat03.09.2012
- You'd have though an accurate list of ingredients a legal requirement.... a little concerned.concerned03.09.2012
- James
You did not bother to put a list of ingredients on your label, unless you only used water, yeast and barley. I wonder how many of your customers will buy these again, time will tell.
Brewdog bars too far away and expensive for me im afraid.hellboy03.09.2012
- Thought the brewdog one was excellent, very tasty. Liked the flying dog but not nearly as goodMarcRitchie03.09.2012
- @hellboy - we did not cheat and put hops in it - we just forgot to remove hops from our standard ingredient list on the label.
Sorry if the beers were not for you. We (and load of our customers) loved them and loved the whole process behind them.
If you visit one of our bars, our team will be happy to give you some tasters, talk about our beers to you and find something more suited to your tastes.
James, BrewDog03.09.2012
- What was the overall opinion of these beers, I though they were awful. Would never buy again.
and brewdog cheated, they put hops in theirs.hellboy03.09.2012
- I don't know how flying dog won that as their beer was mince prepared to the Brewdog one. Backhanders me thinks.Bebop198003.09.2012

Move on…
I wasn’t going to post anything because I’ve tried to avoid the whole Lance/Oprah thing as much as possible. I’m not really going to talk about it. I just wanted to rant a little (surprise surprise) about the whole “sensation” stirred up on news and social media.
I don’t want to watch anyone’s downfall. I can’t relish in it. No matter how “bad” a person is, I’m not happy to see anyone fail, get thrown under a bus, be executed (figuratively or literally- talking all levels of bad here), or fall from any sort of grace. It doesn’t make me happy to see Lance Armstrong get any sort of comeuppance for actions or lies of his past. I feel uncomfortable when I see/hear people celebrating societal and/or physical revenge on someone.
Right now, I’m more concerned with the war on little black ants in my kitchen that’s now spilling over to my computer desk (before you say anything, yes, I feel bad when ants die, too, but I feel worse when I find one crawling on my arm while I’m typing). I’m more concerned with finding a suitable partner for PMBAR and Double Dare so I can enter the series for a chance to vie for the title of Queen of Pisgah. I am concerned with the two more days of hard training I need to complete before my WCCX taper starts- both a relief, because I’m exhausted, and a stress, because after Sunday, I’ve built what I can, and I can’t build any more. I have way too many things to keep me busy to mess with celebrating a confession that was pointlessly obvious in the first place.
Hey, everyone, I’m real sorry to have to tell you this, but I have a mohawk and more than one tattoo. I tried to cover it up forever, but I’m ready to come clean and admit my propensity towards bad hairstyles and permanent body art.
If you want to quit re-hashing the past and talk about something current, follow @lauren1717 on Twitter. She’s posted a lot of great links to articles about the current plight of women’s pro cycling.
As long as you didn’t trying and destroy anybody’s life while hiding the hair and tattoo things, we can forgive you and move on.
Comment by Tom K — January 19, 2013 @ 8:20 am
Andrea destroys the lives of others everytime you blows up a Strava record on a recovery ride, when she passes “hardcore mountain bikers” on the trail on her cx bike, when she passes roadies on the road on her mountain bike. The list goes on. Sorry Tom K but Andrea crushes souls like Nicki Minaj crushes ear drums.
Comment by BeanPoleMatt — January 19, 2013 @ 9:21 am
Come to Pisgah! I traveled from Oxford and Memphis for multiple PMBARs and a Double Dare when living in the “mid-south.” Eric’s events are too much fun. Don’t avoid these great events and even better trails if a “perfect” partner doesn’t surface. Ill be out there again this year and can’t wait.

Chandler Named State Pitcher Of The Year; Snow Also Named To First Team
Bridgewater College's Kevin Chandler has been named the VaSID State College Division Pitcher of the Year in voting by the state's sports information directors.
Chandler, who just completed his senior year on the diamond, earned the first ever College Division Pitcher of the Year honor after leading the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in total innings (84.1), complete games (5) and wins (8). He finished the year with an 8-1 mark and a 2.77 ERA, good enough to earn ODAC Pitcher of the Year honors and a spot on the ABCA South Region First Team.
Joining Chandler on the all-state first team was classmate Devon Snow. Snow finished his senior season with a .381 batting average to rank No. 11 in the ODAC. He led the ODAC with 189 at-bats and 72 base hits. He tied for the conference lead in stolen bases with 21. He also ranked fifth in the ODAC in doubles with 17.
Two more Bridgewater College pitchers – Robert Gallet and Corey Armentrout - earned second-team all-state honors.
Gallet finished his sophomore campaign with a 5-2 record and one save. The second-team All-ODAC pick posted a 2.93 ERA.
Armentrout was 4-4 in his first year on the mound for the Eagles. He ranked third in the ODAC with a 2.02 ERA and led the conference in strikeouts with 61. Opponents hit just .185 against the lefty as he also led the ODAC in opponents' batting average against.

Waiting for Results
Faced with our imagination’s world of “what if,” it’s natural to want to know your results immediately once you’ve taken a test or undergone a procedure. Sometimes, that’s possible. But in most cases, the results need additional analysis or interpretation.
The hematology laboratory, for example, is likely to subject your blood samples to a variety of tests, some of which may take days to complete; specialized radiologists may interpret your echocardiogram, MRI or CT scan; an electrophysiologist may evaluate your heart rhythms. Those specialists will forward their reports to your doctor, who may take some additional time to consider how to use the information in planning your treatment.
Handling the Uncertainty
When you’re scheduled for a test, ask when and from whom you will receive the results. If possible, make an appointment to discuss those results with your doctor. Knowing when you’ll be notified can eliminate at least one source of anxiety.
If you’re apprehensive about what your results are going to reveal, talk to your doctor or nursing staff. They’ll be able to suggest techniques or medications that will help to relieve the stress and anxiety of waiting and wondering without harming your heart.

LaRue Across America: Postcards From the Vacation
Book Source: Review copy from publisher
"Dear Mrs. Hibbins,
My ship has sailed, and with it all hopes of a pleasant resolution to this unhappy saga. Traveling instead by car, we have left the coast far behind. I see now why the ship's captain, in his wisdom, refused to accept cats. The creatures simply do not travel well!"
With a name like LaRue, you're bound to hit the road on a cross-country adventure at least one or twice in your life. In LaRue Across America, the hilarious letter-writing pup, Ike LaRue is all ready for the perfect summer vacation -- a cruise to Mexico with his owner, Mrs. LaRue. Unfortunately, the neighbor lady ends up in the hospital and kindhearted Mrs. LaRue offers to take care of her two cats until she recovers.
The cats aren't allowed on the cruise ship, so Mrs. LaRue decides that a cross-country vacation across America is a nice alternative. Ike, not at all excited about the car trip with two cats, writes a series of desperate letters to Mrs. Hibbins during the trip, urging her to "end the fiasco" and take her cats back. The group departs from Snort City, N.Y., and they stop in several states (New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Arizona) before reaching Death Valley, California, an unfortunate place to visit in the middle of July. LaRue nearly gives up hope for a happy end to a "terrible journey."
Everyone that has endured a trip with bickering family members will be able to sympathize with Ike and the cats. The canine and felines fight over beds, cause disruptions at landmarks, and cheat at road games. Ike even pulls the "my side, your side" stunt by dividing the back seat with masking tape to mark territory. It's a classic cats versus dogs storyline, paired with some great illustrations by the talented Teague. All the images of the cats taunting Ike are super funny!
I printed off a blank map of America for my daughter to color in as we read the book together. In total, Ike stops in 12 states. The book provided her with a fun way to explore our country and learn about the location of various states.
Scholastic has graciously offered to give away (2) copies of LaRue Across America to two different readers.

Thomas ArcherArticle Free Pass. After receiving several lucrative royal appointments, he bought the manor of Hale, Hampshire, in 1715 and rebuilt the house and church.
Archer’s dynamic work borrowed much from the 17th-century Italian architects Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. Although he was not as original as some of the prominent English architects of his time, he was considered important. Most of his designs were executed from 1705 to 1715, including the north front of Chatsworth House (c. 1705) in Derbyshire, Heythrop House (1707–10) in Oxfordshire, a garden pavilion at Wrest Park (1709–11) in Bedfordshire, Roehampton House (c. 1712) in Surrey (now in Wandsworth, London), and the churches of St. Philip (c. 1710–15) in Birmingham, St. Paul (1712–30) in Deptford, and St. John (1713–28) in Westminster. The last two resulted from his appointment in 1711 as a commissioner for the building of 50 new churches.

Miyazawa KiichiArticle Free Pass
Miyazawa Kiichi, (born Oct. 8, 1919, Tokyo, Japan—died June 28, 2007, Tokyo), prime minister of Japan from 1991 to 1993.
Born into a family of politicians, Miyazawa graduated in law from Tokyo Imperial University in 1941 and soon secured a civilian position in the finance ministry (1942–52). In 1953 he was elected to the Diet (parliament) and in 1962 secured his first cabinet position, as director general of the Economic Planning Agency. Subsequently Miyazawa served as minister of international trade and industry (1970–71), of foreign affairs (1974–76), and of finance (1986–88). He also acted as cabinet secretary in the early 1980s and, briefly, as deputy prime minister in Takeshita Noboru’s cabinet.
Like other senior politicians in the ruling Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP), Miyazawa was tainted by the bribery scandals that rocked the Japanese establishment, and he was forced to resign as finance minister in December 1988. He soon returned to power, however, and, after being elected president of the LDP on Oct. 27, 1991, he took over as prime minister on November 5. His reascension in the early 1990s tended to mark a return to old-style politics. Nevertheless, he proved unable to unite or control the warring factions within the LDP. In June 1993 some of these factions joined with opposition parties to pass a vote of no confidence. Miyazawa was forced to resign as prime minister, and in the ensuing general elections the LDP lost control of the Diet for the first time in its 38-year history. He later served as finance minister (1998–2001), and he remained a member of the Diet until 2003.

British Go Journal No. 19. January 1973. Page 9.
Sakakibara, 8d
This series is aimed at players of l0-kyu to 5-kyu strength. It consists of examples and hints which cover many fundamental situations.
The meaning of this proverb will become apparent later. Dia 1 shows a basic corner position. White has just played 1. How do you play now?
Black 2 in Dia 2 is a perfect example of a horribly bad move, which is often played by beginners. It is a tsuki-atari (it bangs into Whites position). You should notice that white 1 and 3 and the stone already there form the hane at the head of two stones in a row - c.f. Go Proverbs by Segoe.
Let us consider the position after black 6. White has at least 10 points of territory and considerable influence along the side. Black has played the same number of stones and has only six points of territory and no influence. Furthermore a white approach to A would put Blacks position under attack. Blacks troubles stem from 2, a very bad move.
In Dia 3 Black plays 2, a tsuki-atari towards the edge and the sequence up to 4 is the start of the nadare joseki, as you probably know.
In Dia 4. when White attacks to the outside, Blacks tsuki-atari 2 is the correct way to play.
In conclusion we see the tsuki-atari of Dias 3 and 4 are the correct way to play. The direction of both these moves is towards the edge. In Dia 2 the tsuki-atari is in the opposite direction, towards the centre, and is a poor move. Blacks resultant position is inefficient.
The kake-tsugi is a diagonal connection, e.g. black 2 and 4 of Dia 5. In Dia 5 black 4 is an example of bad play. White has played an outer attach, 1, and a drawback, 3 (tsuke-hiki). Black 4, a kake-tsugi, is played into the corner, but is in the wrong direction.
Compare this with Dia 6. White 1 is an inner attach and finally Black plays 4, a kake-tsugi, towards the side. In Dia 6, black is promised possibilities of growth, by playing at A or B - his direction for further play is along the side. In Dia 5, black has little potential - he is bottled up in the corner.
In fact, Black should have played as in Dia 7. White will cut, either on the inside or the outside, but this is quite alright for black.
This example will to grasp the new which we have just studied.
Dia 8 shows a common position in handicap Go. White plays the attachment 1 and black 2 is a tsuke-atari towards the centre (a bad move). Black hasnt secured all his territory on the left side, and has managed to strengthen white. There is of course no need to play the tsuke-atari. Black 1 in Dia 9 is good and black 3 is much better than the result of Dia 8.

LLANGYBI (LLAN-GYBI), a parish, in the
union of Pwllheli, hundred of Eivionydd, county
of Carnarvon, North Wales, 5 miles (N. E. by
N.) from Pwllheli; containing 726 inhabitants. This
parish, which derives its name from the dedication of
its church to St. Cybi, an eminent British saint, who
flourished towards the close of the sixth century, is
pleasantly situated in the south-western part of the
county, and nearly in the centre of the promontory
that separates Cardigan bay from the bay of Carnarvon. It is bounded on the north by the parishes
of Llanelhairn and Clynnog, on the south by the
parish of Llanarmon, on the east by those of Llanvihangel-y-Pennant and Llanystyndwy, and on the
west by that of Carngiwch; and comprises 4306 acres,
of which 1705 are arable, 2571 meadow and pasture,
and 30 woodland, consisting principally of oak, ash,
and larch. The soil, to a considerable extent, is
moist and gravelly, producing chiefly barley, oats,
and potatoes; the lands are mostly inclosed, and in a
good state of cultivation. The surface is generally
level, and the surrounding scenery is pleasingly
diversified, comprising some fine views of the adjacent
country, which is watered by several small streams,
and abounds with varied and picturesque beauty. In
the parish is the residence of Trallwyn; also an old
mansion named Glasfryn, lately restored, and now
inhabited. The Carnarvon and Pwllheli turnpikeroad runs through the parish, which has also good
cross-roads.
The living is a rectory, with that of Llanarmon
annexed, rated in the king's books at £15.3.4.;
present net income, £450; patron, the Bishop of
Bangor. The tithes of Llangybi have been commuted for a rent-charge of £226. 10. The church is
a spacious structure, consisting of a nave, chancel,
and north aisle, and measuring fifty-nine feet in
length and seventeen and a half in breadth; in 1828
it underwent a thorough repair, the roof being raised
and new windows inserted, and it is now one of the
best ecclesiastical edifices in this part of the county.
There are places of worship for Calvinistic Methodists and Independents, and three Sunday schools.
An almshouse was founded in 1760, by William
Price, Esq., of Rhiwlas, who endowed it with a rentcharge payable out of the estate of Pentyrch Uchâv,
for six poor men, who receive £1 per quarter, with a
sufficient allowance of fuel, and are nominated by
Rice Thomas, Esq., of Coed Helen, heir of the
founder: the six houses are substantially built of
stone, but the almspeople do not reside in them,
letting them to the parish officers at 25s. each. The
Rev. Evan Griffith, in 1724, bequeathed £100,
directing the proceeds to be annually distributed
among the poor of this parish and Llanarmon. Near
the church is a fine chalybeate spring, called Fynnon Gybi, inclosed with a stone wall, and having
stone seats round it; the water was formerly in great
repute for its efficacy in the cure of scorbutic complaints, and is still found beneficial in chronic cases.
On the summit of Garn Pentyrch, or Garn Llangybi,
a high conical hill, is a very extensive and perfect
ancient British encampment.
LLANGYBI (LLAN-GYBI), a parish, in the
union of Lampeter, Upper division of the hundred
of Moythen, county of Cardigan, South Wales,
4 miles (N. N. E.)from Lampeter; containing 274
inhabitants. It lies upon the road from Lampeter
to Trêgaron; and is bounded on the north by the
parish of Llandewy-Brevi, on the south by that of
Bettws-Bledrws, on the east by that of LlanvairClydogan, and on the west by the chapelry of Gartheli, in Llandewy-Brevi. The lands, which are
watered by the river Dulas, are in general inclosed,
and the soil is tolerably fertile, producing good barley
and oats. The place constituted a prebend in the
ancient collegiate church of Llandewy-Brevi, rated in
the king's books at £1. 6. 8. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £800 royal bounty; net
income, £60; patrons, alternately, Lord Carrington
and Captain G. L. Vaughan, the impropriators,
whose tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge
of £90. The church, dedicated to St. Cybi, is a
small edifice, consisting only of a nave and chancel.
There are places of worship for Calvinistic Methodists, Independents, and Presbyterians: the last is
supposed to be the most ancient congregation of dissenters in the principality, having first assembled
here about the year 1663. Two Sunday schools are
supported by the Independents, and one by the Methodists. On a hill above the river Teivy is a large
intrenchment, called Castell Goedtrêv; it gives name
to the farm on which it is situated.
LLANGYNHAVAL (LLAN-GYNHAFAL),
a parish, in the union and hundred of Ruthin, county
of Denbigh, North Wales, 4 miles (N. by E.)
from Ruthin; containing 502 inhabitants. This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of
its church to St. Cynhaval, who flourished about the
beginning of the seventh century, is situated in the
rich and fertile Vale of Clwyd, and sheltered by the
fine range of mountains which bounds the vale and
parish on the east. It is traversed by the road from
Ruthin to Holywell, and bounded on the north by the
parish of Llangwyvan, on the south by that of Llanbedr, on the east by that of Kîlken, and on the west
by the parishes of Llanynys and Llanychan. It comprises by admeasurement 2300 acres, of which 1000
are mountainous, and nearly all the remainder arable.
The scenery is diversified and highly picturesque,
and the views over the adjacent country abound with
interesting features. A very considerable portion of
the parish is uninclosed and uncultivated, but of the
rest the soil is sandy, and the chief produce is barley.
Among the many gentlemen's seats sprinkled over
the Vale of Clwyd, that of Plâs-Draw, situated in
this parish, is considered the most beautiful; PlâsIssa, also, a modern mansion, is elegantly built.
The living is a discharged rectory, rated in the
king's books at £15. 15.; patron, the Bishop of Bangor: the tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge
of £400, and there is a glebe of thirteen acres and a
half, valued at £20 per annum; also a glebe-house.
The church is a neat whitewashed edifice, sixty feet
long and forty-two wide, and contains 400 sittings;
it occupies a pleasant situation in the centre of the
parish, and commands an extensive and beautiful view
of the vale. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists. A Church school is supported,
and two Sunday schools; one of these latter is in
connexion with the Church, and the other with the
Calvinistic body. Thomas Roberts bequeathed £43
to the poor, Edward Wynn £20, Strange Pedler £10,
and John Doulben £10, which, together with some
smaller benefactions, have been invested in the purchase of a portion of land called Gevel-y-Pwll, producing £7. 7. per annum. William Wynne, in 1723,
left the interest of £100, which is now paid out of a
large farm called Plâsynllan, and applied towards the
support of the above-mentioned day school; and a few
other annual charities of small amount, together with
the produce of the land already named, are distributed on St. Thomas's day and Good Friday among
the poor. In the chain of hills by which the parish
is bounded on the east, the highest, called Moel
Vammau, is surmounted by a column erected to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the accession of
George III.
LLANGYNIDER (LLAN-GYNIDR), a parish, in the union and hundred of Crickhowel,
county of Brecknock, South Wales, 4 miles (N.
W.) from Crickhowel; containing 2775 inhabitants, of
whom 2110 are in the hamlet of Blaen, 542 in that
of Vro, and 123 in the hamlet of Dyfryn. This place
derives its name from the dedication of its church
to St. Cynyd, or Cynydr, who lived in religious
seclusion in Glamorgan, in the sixth century, and in
commemoration of whom a festival was annually celebrated here, on the 1st of August. In ancient records it is frequently called "Llan-Gynyd-EglwysYail," from the Yail, a small stream that passed near
the church; and "Llan-Gynyd-Eglwys-Vesey," from
an old chapel, of which the ruins were formerly
visible on the bank of the Crawnon, about two miles
from the village. The parish extends from the
southern bank of the Usk to the confines of Monmouthshire and Glamorgan, and is bounded on the
north by that river, which separates it from the parish
of Llanvihangel-Cwm-Dû. On the south-west it is
bounded by the river Romney, which divides it from
the parish of Gellygaer, in the county of Glamorgan;
on the south by the parish of Bedwelty, in the shire
of Monmouth; and on the west by the parish of
Llanthetty. It comprises by recent admeasurement
13,992 acres, of which about 8000 are mountain land
affording pasturage to large flocks of sheep, and the
remainder inclosed arable and pasture, with some
wood. The adjacent country is finely varied, in
some parts beautifully picturesque; and the view
of the mountains by which the parish is surrounded
is strikingly beautiful: among these, the lofty conical
mountain called the Sugar Loaf, on the border and
within the limits of Monmouth, and the Irvol, or
Hirvoel, commonly called Durvoel, in the adjoining
parish of Llanthetty, partly clothed with larch-trees
of stately growth, are prominent and interesting features. The soil is light, inclining in some parts to
gravel, and in others well adapted for wheat and barley, the latter of which is produced of superior
quality.
In the mountain district bordering on the counties
of Monmouth and Glamorgan, and from six to nine
miles distant from the parish church, a vast increase
of population has taken place, occasioned by the residence of miners and colliers belonging to works situated in the adjoining parishes. The parish abounds
with iron-ore, coal, and limestone; and on the river
Romney are some iron-works, conducted by the Bute
Iron Company, and giving employment to between
300 and 400 men. The Brecknock and Abergavenny canal, extending from Pontymoel, near Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, to Brecknock, traverses
the lower part of the parish, and on its banks is a
wharf for lime and coal. The tramroad commonly
called the Trivel Road, communicating with the canal
at Tàlybont, in the parish of Llanthetty, passes along
the Trivel mountain in this parish; and the lower part
of Llangynider is traversed by the turnpike-road
leading from Llangattock to Brecknock. Fairs are
annually held in the village, by prescriptive right, on
April 20th, October 7th, December 1st, and the
Wednesday before Christmas-day.
The living is a rectory, rated in the king's books
at £13. 14. 7.; present net income, £418; patron,
the Duke of Beaufort. The church, a plain small
edifice, situated in the hamlet of Vro, consists of a
nave and chancel, and contains about 240 sittings:
the parsonage-house was erected at the expense of the
Rev. William Davies, the incumbent. There are
places of worship for Baptists, Independents, and
Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists; a day school
in connexion with the Church, built by Mr. Bailey,
M.P.; and about twelve Sunday schools, one of which
is conducted on Church principles. Mrs. Frances
Griffiths, in 1761, left £10, the interest of which is
divided annually, on Easter-eve, among the poor not
receiving parochial relief; and Miss Sarah Prytherch,
in 1787, bequeathed £8 per annum, payable out of a
farm in the parish, to be distributed on the first of
January, by the minister and churchwardens.
It is believed that a Roman vicinal road from
Caerphilly to Bedwelty, and thence over Bedwelty
common, upon which are manifest and unequivocal
traces of a causeway, leading through the mines of
Bryn Oer to Llanvrynach, in the Vale of Usk, passed
along the high ridge of the Trivel Ddû mountain, in
the parish. On this mountain, some time ago, a celt
was found, which was in the possession of the late
Archdeacon Payne. Near the source of the river
Romney is a ford called Rhŷd-y-Milwyr, or "the
soldiers' ford," but from what circumstance it obtained that appellation is unknown. On the Trivel
Glâs mountain is a large natural cavern, termed Stabl
Vawr, or "the great stable," above which is a large
heap of stones, most probably raised as a beacon, as,
upon examination, no sepulchral deposit was found
beneath it, denoting it a cairn. Tradition points out
the site of an ancient castle near the high road to
Brecknock; but nothing of its history is recorded, and
probably it was only a lodge for the residence of a
forester under the lords of Trêtower castle.
LLANGYNIEW (LLAN-GYNYW), a parish,
in the union of Llanvyllin, Lower division of the
hundred of Mathraval, county of Montgomery,
North Wales, 2 miles (N. by W.) from LlanvairCaereinion; containing 647 inhabitants. It derives
its name from the dedication of its church to St.
Cynyw, an eminent British saint, who flourished in
the sixth century, and was son of Gwynlliw, and
brother of Catwg the Wise. That it is of remote antiquity is quite evident from the numerous
British encampments, apparently of the very earliest
character, which are scattered over the hills in
various parts of the parish; and that it was two vales is the spot
where the ancient Roman that had been occupied by the Romans.
On the opposite side of the river, in a wood called
Gwern Ddû, is a circular intrenchment; and in a
field beyond it is a circular mount: both these.ys, the
best era of Welsh poetry, composed on those occasions some of their finest odes, of which many are
preserved in the Welsh Archæology.
After the removal of the seat of government to
Castell Powys, the palace of Mathraval, which was
deserted by the Princes of Powys, fell into the possession of Robert Vipont, a powerful baron in high
favour with John, King of England, who rebuilt, or
at least repaired and fortified, the ancient castle. In
1212, Llewelyn ab Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales,
having made an incursion into Powysland, invested
the castle here,. At the same time, in order to prevent any similar attempt on the part of that prince,
the king ordered the castle to be burnt to the ground,
since which period it has been in ruins.
The parish is situated nearly in the centre of
the county,, and separate this parish from
the parishes of Llanvihangel and Meivod. It extends nearly four miles in length, and from a mile
and a half to three miles in breadth; and comprises
by admeasurement 4440 acres, of which, by computation, 1300 are arable, 1600 pasture, 1060 meadow,
and the remainder woodland. Nearly three-fourths
of the lands are old inclosures; the rest was inclosed
under the provisions of an act obtained in 1810, which
extended also to the adjoining parish of LlanvairCaereinion, and part of that of Castle-Caereinion.
The surface is greatly undulated, rising in many
places into hills of considerable elevation; and the
scenery, which is strikingly diversified, is enriched
in several parts with woods of luxuriant growth, and
enlivened by the branches of the river Vyrnwy. At
Mathraval Fridd and Park are not less than 350
acres of woodland, containing some of the finest oaktrees in the county, which is much celebrated for that
species of timber: many of the young trees, not more
than nine inches in girth at the butt, are sixty feet in
height, and for cleaving are thought to be among
the best in the kingdom; while those of more mature
growth are unrivalled in the stateliness of their appearance, forming a majestic feature in the scenery
of the place. From several of the hills, which are
generally of conical form, are some noble and magnificent views over the surrounding country, comprehending the most picturesque portion of the
district called Powysland. From the summit of
Penyborth, in the hamlet of Cynhinva, more especially, is a prospect remarkable for its extent and
grandeur. Towards the east are seen the open and
fertile plains of Salop, soil in the arable land is loamy, in the meadow loamy and alluvial, and clayey in the pasture
and woodland; the chief produce of the parish is oats,
barley, wheat, peas, and butter and cheese. There
are several small turbaries, which formerly supplied
the inhabitants with fuel, but that. The parish contains
four corn-mills, in each of which about three hands
are employed.
The living is a rectory, rated in the king's books
at £5. 13. 4.; present net income, £336, with a
glebe-house; patron, the Bishop of St. Asaph. The
church, dedicated to St. Cyniw, and situated at the
eastern extremity of the parish, near the bank of the
Banwy, is a venerable structure in the early style
of English architecture, measuring forty-nine feet by
twenty-one, and containing 177 sittings. It has
the remains of the ancient screen and rood-loft,
embellished with some exquisite carvings in oak, and
in the east window are some small remains of stained
glass; the old font, which is of large dimensions, is
still preserved. In the churchyard are six venerable
yew-trees. There are places of worship for Independents and Calvinistic Methodists; a Church day
school, and three Sunday schools, one of which is in
connexion with the Church. Some minor charitable
donations and bequests have been made by various
individuals, the produce arising from which, amounting to £6. 16., is annually distributed in small sums
among the poor of the parish; but the principal
bequest, a rent-charge of £5, by Samuel Home, in
1804, is partly distributed in coal, on St. Thomas's
day. inclosed area is about two acres in
extent, and each side of it about 120 yards in length;
at the north-eastern angle, which impends over the
river, is a lofty exploratory mount, on which probably
was a castelet, commanding a full view up and down
the vale. Several relics of antiquity have been dug
up amid the ruins near this spot, among which were
some tiles having protuberances at one extremity,
apparently to connect them, also some silver dishes,
an old sword, and some silver coins. Within the area
is a farmhouse, situated near the mount, and which,
together with the greater part of the hamlet of Mathraval, belongs to the Powis estate. In the eastern
part of the parish are the remains of two other encampments, forming, with Mathraval, an equilateral
triangle, each of the sides of which is about a mile in
length. One of these encampments, which are
thought to be of British origin, is situated on a
conical hill called Garthen, in the hamlet of Llangyniew, and appears to have been surrounded with
three ramparts of earth and two fosses, inclosing a
circular area 70 yards in diameter within the inner
wall, and 140 yards in diameter within the outer.
The other occupies the summit of a hill in Mathraval
Fridd, and comprises an elliptical area conformable
to the shape of the hill, seventy-two yards in the
longer, and forty-four yards in the shorter, diameter.
It is encircled adjacent country. There
is a very powerful spring in the parish, strongly impregnated with sulphur.
The Rev. Dr. Evans, rector of Llanymynech, and
canon of St. Asaph, was born in this parish, and was
buried in the church, where a marble tablet was
erected to his memory. He was a distinguished
Welsh scholar and critic, and assisted Dr. Burney in
writing his History of Music, and Mr. Edward Jones
in his collection of Welsh airs. Among his papers

LLANGYNOG (LLAN-GYNOG), a parish,
in the union and hundred of Builth, county of
Brecknock, South Wales, 3½ miles (S. S. W.)
from Builth; containing 54 inhabitants. It derives
its name from the dedication of its church to St.
Cynog, an eminent British saint, who suffered martyrdom about the close of the fifth century. The
parish is situated in the northern portion of the
county, on the turnpike-road leading from Brecknock
to Builth; and is bounded on the north by the parish
of Llanddewi'r-Cwm, on the south by that of Gwenddwr, on the east by the county of Radnor, and on
the west by the lofty range of the Eppynt hills. It
comprises about 2000 acres, 1000 of which are comprehended in a dreary and mountainous tract extending beyond the confines of the parish, and the remainder consists of about one-sixth arable, the same
of woodland, and two-thirds of meadow and pasture.
The soil is poor, producing only a little oats and
barley; the farmers depend chiefly on the rearing
of sheep and a few hardy cattle, for which the hilly
grounds afford but inferior pasture. The Eppynt
hills are partly within the parish; and from their
summits extensive views are obtained over the adjacent country: the immediate neighbourhood, through
which runs the small river Dihonwy, exhibits only
wild and mountainous scenery. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £800 royal bounty;
net income, £69; patron, the Bishop of St. David's.
The tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of
£44, payable to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
The church, an ancient, mean edifice, possessing no
claim to architectural notice, stands a little eastward
from the mountain road between Brecknock and
Builth, on the brow of the Eppynt hills, in a very
bleak situation, sheltered only by some larch and fir
trees by which the churchyard is surrounded. It is
a remarkably small church, measuring only thirtyone feet and a half, by seventeen feet.
LLANGYNOG (LLAN-GYNOG), a parish,
in the union, and Upper division of the hundred, of
Llanvyllin, county of Montgomery, North
Wales, 8 miles (N. W.) from Llanvyllin; containing
516 inhabitants. This parish derives its name from
the dedication of its church to St. Cynog, the eldest
of the sons of Brychan, Prince of Brycheiniog; he
suffered martyrdom in the fifth century, was buried
at Merthyr-Cynog, in the county of Brecknock, and
was canonized after his death. It is bounded on the
north and east by the county of Denbigh, on the
south by the parish of Hîrnant, on the west by that
of Pennant; and comprises by admeasurement 974a.
3r. 22p. of cultivated land, and by computation 2500
acres of common or waste. The village is beautifully
situated on the turnpike-road from Llanvyllin to
Bala, in a pleasing but narrow vale, watered by the
river Tanat, and sheltered by lofty mountains: there
is a bridge over the stream, on the line of the turnpike-road. The scenery is strikingly diversified,
abounding with features of picturesque beauty, and
of rugged grandeur; and the views over the adjacent
country, on the east comprising part of Denbighshire,
and on the west part of Merioneth, from which latter
the parish is separated by the fine range of the Berwyn mountains, are interesting and extensive. In
the mountainous district of the parish are mines of
lead, quarries of slate, and other mineral works. The
soil is in general fertile in the agricultural part, producing good crops of wheat, barley, oats, and grass;
and peat, which forms the principal fuel of the inhabitants, is found in abundance.
The lead-mines, which are the property of the
Earl of Powis, have been worked for about a century,
and were productive of immense profit to an ancestor
of the present owner..
In the centre of the vein was a breadth of five yards
of clean ore, so pure as to be immediately conveyed
from the mine to the smelting-house, exclusively of
a breadth of several feet on each side, which, being
mixed with spar, required previous dressing to prepare it for smelting. The vein has been worked to
a depth of more than ninety yards, and during a
period of forty years yielded upon the average about
4000 tons of ore annually, producing to its proprietor
a clear yearly revenue of £20,000. About the commencement of the present century this mine, the
working of which had been for some time discontinued as the influx of water rendered it impracticable,
was leased by a company who drove a level beneath
the mine, neglected. Of
late years, however, the old shaft having been reopened, the mine has produced about one hundred
tons of ore annually: the machinery employed is
driven by a stream of water, brought from a distance
of seven miles at a very considerable expense.
At Craig-y-Gribbin, in the parish, are some quarries of excellent blue slate, of a strong and durable
quality, in raising which about three persons are at
present occupied. From the veins of quartz that
pervade the entire mass of the rock in which they
are quarried, they exhibit a rough surface; and some
of the slabs contain beautiful cubes of mundic. These
slates are procured for the supply of the neighbouring
districts, and a small, employing about twenty-six
persons, from which great numbers of slates of similar
quality are obtained, and brought down the steep
declivity of the rock in sledges containing about five
cwt. each, with extreme danger to the persons engaged in this arduous task. When the sledge is
loaded, and drawn to the edge of the declivity, the
conductor sits upon it, passing over his shoulders a
rope which is fastened at each extremity to the front,
and being also assisted with a pole. Then raising
his feet from the ground, he begins his descent down
a narrow winding path, guiding the sledge by opposing his feet to the projecting points of the rock,
which would divert it from its course; governing its
accumulating velocity by pressing firmly with his
feet upon the ground; and sustaining the weight of
the carriage by the rope that passes over his shoulders. Sometimes the guide, passing the rope over
his shoulders as in the former case, instead of sitting
upon the front of the sledge, descends backwards;. The parish contains a woollen manufactory, in which about three persons are employed;
and fairs are annually held in the village on May 6th,
August 9th, and September 3rd.
The living is a discharged rectory, rated in the
king's books at £4. 8. 11½.; patron, the Bishop of
St. Asaph: the tithes have been commuted for £140
payable to the rector, and £2. 5. to the parish-clerk;
and a glebe-house is attached to the benefice, together
with a glebe of six acres and a quarter, valued at £10
per annum. The church, rebuilt in 1790, is fortyeight feet long and twenty broad, and contains 160
sittings. There are places of worship for Independents and Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists; a
day school, established in 1847 by some dissenters in
the neighbourhood; and four Sunday schools, one
of them in connexion with the Church. Evan Jones,
in 1797, gave the interest of £20 in support of a
school, and also bequeathed a house for its use; if no
school should be held, he directed the proceeds to be
distributed among the poor. Elizabeth Lloyd, in
1730, left a rent-charge of £2, a moiety to be distributed among the poor of this parish, and the other
moiety among those of Pennant; the sum is accordingly so disposed of, in small sums, every Easter
Monday. A brass celt was found near the village,
some time since. The parish contains a mining
level called Ogov, or "the cave," driven under a
vast depth of slaty rock, and which appears to have
long ceased to be recognised as a work of art.
LLANGYVELACH (LLAN-GYFELACH),
a parish, in the union, and partly within the limits of
the borough, of Swansea, and partly in the hundred
of Llangyvelach, county of Glamorgan, South
Wales, 4 miles (N. by W.) from Swansea; comprising
the townships of Higher and Lower Clâs, Upper and
Lower Mawr, Upper and Lower Pen Derwi, and
Upper and Lower Rhwngdwy Clydach; and containing 9394. The
parish is situated in a district abounding with mineral
wealth; it is more than ten miles in length, and in
many parts six in breadth, comprising 27,305 acres,
of which 7223 are common or waste land. It includes
the western side of the Swansea valley, or Vale of
Tawe, from a short distance above Swansea up to
Pontardawe, and stretches from that side of the
valley as its basis away to the confines of Carmarthenshire. Upon the base-line lie Morriston, a place of
some size, Clydach, and Pontardawe: the first presents the aspect of a manufacturing population, but
at Clydach and Pontardawe, though there are works
at or near each, rural features predominate. The
village of Llangyvelach lies westward of this baseline, and towards the Carmarthen border the surface
is mountainous. Clasemont, the property of Sir
John Morris, Bart., has been taken down; and the
only seat now deserving notice, within the limits of
the parish, is Penlle'rgaer, an elegant residence.
The principal mineral production is coal, which is
procured in large quantities, and the working of
which affords employment to a great part of the
population. The copper-works established here for
the manufacture of ore imported for the purpose, and
the collieries, are conducted by different companies
on a very extensive scale, the former furnishing occupation to more than 1500, and the latter to 2000,
men. The Pontardawe tin-works are situated in a
pleasant part of the vale, a little below the village of
that name, and are now the property of John Parsons, Esq., of Graig Cottage. They were erected
about fourteen years since, at a considerable outlay,
and the number of persons employed is about 140;
the make is about 2000 boxes of tin-plates per
month, and the wages, which are all paid in cash, exceed, with incidentals, £500 monthly. The Swansea
canal intersects the parish, in its course up the western
bank of the river Tawe. In 1847 an act was passed
authorizing the construction of a railway from Nantmelyn, in the parish, to Ynis-y-Mond, in the parish
of Cadoxton, to be called the Swansea and Amman
Junction Railway: it will consist of a main line of
nearly four miles and a half, with above two miles of
branches. A fair is held on March 1st in the village
of Llangyvelach, in which petty sessions for the hundred also take place.
The living is a vicarage, rated in the king's books
at £9. 14. 9½., and in the patronage of the Bishop
of St. David's: the tithes have been commuted for
£1050, of which £845 are payable to the impropriator, and £205 to the vicar. The church, dedicated to
St. Cyvelach, is a very neat and compact structure,
consisting of a nave and chancel, the former rebuilt a
short time ago: the old tower, which still remains, is
detached from the present, as it was from the former,
edifice, standing at a short distance from the nave:
in the sepulchral chapel belonging to the family of
Penlle'rgaer, is an elegant cenotaph of black marble.
The situation of parish-clerk is worth from £70 to
£100 per annum, arising chiefly from a charge of
two shillings and sixpence upon each plough used
on every farm in the parish; it is in the gift of the
Bishop. At Morriston is a separate incumbency;
and another has been lately founded at Clydach, under
the act 6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 37: the latter is in
the gift of the Crown and the Bishop, alternately;
net income, £150. There are places of worship for
Independents, Baptists, Particular Baptists, Calvinistic Methodists, and Unitarians. Day schools are
held in different parts, in connexion with the Church;
and the parish contains eighteen Sunday schools, four
of them conducted on Church principles.
Lewis Thomas, in the year 1642, left a messuage
and tenement called Tîr Bâch, and also a sum of
£20, the produce to be annually divided on Christmas-eve among the poor not receiving parochial aid:
the piece of land contains about ten acres, with a
small cottage, but is not worth more than about £5
per annum; and nothing has been received from the
property since the early part of the present century,
when it is said to have been taken possession of by a
descendant of the testator. In 1733, Mary Williams
bequeathed a rent-charge of £2 for erecting and
maintaining a free school, in the parcel of Rhwngdwy
Clydach, and the sum was paid to a schoolmaster at
Gellyonen until 1808, since which time nothing has
been received, though a school was built by subscription in the place named by the testatrix. Mary
Rogers, in 1789, gave £500, the interest to be expended in clothing six men, and an equal number of
women, at Christmas, and the residue then left to be
retained by the minister for his trouble in seeing the
trust performed; the fund is vested in the three per
cent. reduced annuities, yielding an interest of £19.
13. 6., of which £12 are allotted to the clothing of
three poor men and women in each division of the
parish, and the remainder is paid to the vicar.
Thomas Price, of Penlle'rgaer, bequeathed a rentcharge of £4 on a farm called Abergwenlais, the
amount to be distributed among the poor on Christmas-eve and Good Friday, and he likewise charged
the land with an annual payment of £4. 10. for instructing ten children. A few other small charities
have been either lost or are unproductive; among
which are a bequest by Alexander Amyas of £40, in
1773; a grant of £20 by one of the Penderry family;
and another rent-charge, variously stated at £2, and
£7. 10., on a tenement called Havod, in the parish of
Bettws, county of Carmarthen. Penlle'rgaer, near
the western confines of the parish, is the only place
besides Loughor having any claim to be regarded as
the site of the Roman station Leucarum; its claim
consists partly in its appellation, which may be translated "the camp summit," and partly in the discovery
of fragments of ancient walls, in a situation likely to
have been chosen by the Romans for a military post.
Near the top of Mynydd Maen Coch, in the parish,
is a stone circle called Carn Llêchart, in a state of
almost perfect preservation.—See Morriston, Clâs,
&c.
LLANHAMLLÊCH, or LLAN-AMLLÊCH
(LLAN-AMMWLCH), a parish, consisting of two
divisions, Lower and Upper, in the hundred of Pencelly, union and county of Brecknock, South
Wales, 3 miles (S. E. by E.) from Brecknock; containing 324 inhabitants, of whom 211 are in the hamlet of Llanhamllêch, or Lower division, and 113 in
that of Llêchvaen, or the Upper division. The name
of this parish, signifying the "church on many flat
stones," is in allusion to the strata of the rock on
which the church is built, and the fragments of slate
with which the churchyard abounds. The greater
portion of the parish, together with the advowson of
the living, formed part of the possessions of Sir John
Walbeoffe, one of the companions of Bernard Newmarch in his conquest of the ancient principality of
Brecknock, and remained in the hands of the descendants of that family till it became extinct. In the
reign of James I., the manor and living became the
property of the Powells, with whom they have since
continued.
This parish, which comprises about 1130 acres, is
beautifully situated on the north bank of the river
Usk, and on the turnpike-road from Brecon to Crickhowel, which passes through the village: on the west
it is bounded by the Brynŷch brook. The lands are
chiefly arable; but there are some good meadows near
the Usk, affording excellent pasturage for cattle.
The soil, composed of clay and gravel, is tolerably
fertile, and the inhabitants are principally employed
in agricultural pursuits. The scenery is richly diversified and highly picturesque: the river, in many
parts of its winding course, forms a beautiful feature
in the landscape; and the distant views embrace
many objects of romantic grandeur, among which are
the Brecknockshire Beacons, and the Sugar Loaf
and other mountains in the county of Monmouth.
Peterstone Court, a spacious and well-built mansion,
is situated near the site of the old residence of the
Norman family of Walbeoffe, in grounds ornamented
with a stately avenue of elms and a small group of
oak-trees. The Hay railway, from Brecknock to the
rich agricultural districts of Herefordshire, runs
through the northern part of the parish.
The living is a rectory, rated in the king's books
at £6. 1. 8; patron, the Rev. Thomas Powell: the
tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £255,
and there is a glebe of forty acres, valued at £40 per
annum. The tithes were charged by a member of
the Walbeoffe family with the payment of nine shillings annually to the priory of Malvern, which, upon
the dissolution of that establishment, was received
by the crown. The church, dedicated to St. Peter,
and supposed to have been originally founded by one
of the Walbeoffes, was, with the exception of the old
tower, rebuilt by a parochial rate in 1802, and is a
neat plain edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel:
the chancel was formerly filled with raised tombs,
which, since the rebuilding of the church, have been
placed on a level with the pavement. The tower is
embattled, and is a fine specimen of the later style
of English architecture, though not elaborately ornamented, and from every point of view forms a highly
interesting object. The churchyard is remarkably
picturesque, and is adorned with some fine yew-trees,
several of which, though of great age, are flourishing
in full vigour. The old parsonage-house appears to
be of very ancient date, probably coeval with the
settlement of the first Norman family, for besides the
Norman arches that constitute the doorways, and the
stone mullions of the windows, several stones have
been found in the walls, ornamented with the Norman
or Saxon scrolls, and on one of them is an inscription
in the Saxon character, of which the word "Meridic"
is legible. In the hamlet of Llêchvaen was a chapel
of ease, which fell down about a century since, and
has not been rebuilt; the central situation of the
parochial church, and its sufficiency of accommodation,
rendering it unnecessary. There is a place of worship in Llêchvaen for Calvinistic Methodists, with a
Sunday school held in it. The Peterstone estate is
charged by Miss Walbeoffe with the yearly payment
of £2. 8., which is regularly distributed among the
poor of the parish; and a bequest of £3 per annum,
by the same lady, is charged on lands in the parish of
Llanvrynach, for apprenticing a child from this place
every second year with a premium of £6.
On a farm called Mannest, in the parish, and upon
the summit of an eminence that overlooks the villages
of Llanhamllêch, Llanvigan, and Llanvrynach, and
commands a very extensive prospect over the fertile
Vale of Usk, are the remains of a cist-vaen, under an
aged yew-tree, and surrounded with stones apparently from a dispersed cairn, under which it had
been concealed for many ages: at what period it
was opened is not known. It consists of three upright stones, two forming the sides, about five feet in
length, and one at the end, about three feet wide: the
whole height does not exceed three feet from the
ground. By some writers this relic has been supposed to be of Druidical origin, and by others to be the
remains of a hermit's cell: by topographers it is
usually designated Tŷ Illtyd, or St. Illtyd's hermitage. The crosses and characters appear to be nothing more than the rude efforts of pilgrims and
visiters to leave some memorial of themselves behind,
by inscribing the initials of their names, and other
devices, on the stones of the monument. The parish
was anciently crossed by the Roman Via Julia
Montana.
LLANHARAN, a parish, in the poor-law union
of Bridgend and Cowbridge, hundred of Cowbridge, county of Glamorgan, South Wales,
6 miles (N. by E.) from Cowbridge; containing 306
inhabitants. This parish is situated under the southern declivity of a ridge of hills; near the South Wales
railway, and on the road from Bridgend to Llantrissent, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Cardiff. It is bounded
on the north by Peterstone-super-Montem, on the
south by Llanilid, on the east by Llantrissent, and
by St. Bride's Minor on the west. The surface is
undulated and hilly, and the high grounds command
good views, comprehending the Bristol Channel, and
the adjacent country intersected by the river Ely;
the soil in many parts is gravelly, in others peaty and
boggy, and most kinds of agricultural produce are
raised. Llanharan House is a handsome modern
mansion, situated under the shelter of a lofty ridge of
hills, with a south-eastern aspect; the grounds are
richly wooded, and present an agreeable irregularity
of surface, embracing much pleasing scenery: from
the upper part of the house are obtained extensive
and interesting prospects. In Llanharan House is a
valuable collection of Welsh manuscripts, formed by
Llewelyn Sion, an eminent bard of Glamorgan,
illustrative of the system of bardism, preserved in the
Gorsedd Morganwg, in which he presided in 1580.
Llanelay is a good residence of a mixed style of
architecture, situated on the bank of the river Ely,
and sheltered on the north by the lofty hill of Garth.
Craig Matthew, a venerable structure, was formerly
the seat of the Matthews, and afterwards of the
Gibbons. The parish abounds with mineral wealth,
and several of the inhabitants are employed in some
collieries, which are chiefly worked for the supply of
the immediate vicinity; limestone is found in great
quantities, and lead and iron ores have been discovered: magnesian limestone in one place lies above
the coal, which rises again beyond it to the south.
The living is a rectory, consolidated with the rectory
of Llanilid: the church, which is dedicated to St.
Julius and St. Aaron, is thirty-four feet long and
fifteen wide, and contains about ninety sittings.
Mrs. Mary Lougher left £60 to the poor of the
parish, but only £15 of the sum are now available;
£100 were bequeathed by the late Mr. Gibbon, of
Newton House, near Cowbridge, and £120 by the
late Dr. Hoare, Principal of Jesus College, Oxford:
the income arising from these bequests, £12. 1., is
annually distributed among the poor.
LLANHARY (LLAN-ARAU), a parish, in
the union of Bridgend and Cowbridge, hundred
of Cowbridge, county of Glamorgan, South
Wales, 4 miles (N. N. E.) from Cowbridge; containing 268 inhabitants. The lands of the parish are
generally inclosed, and in a good state of cultivation; and a portion of its substrata consists of coal of
good quality, which is worked for the supply of the
immediate neighbourhood. The living is a discharged
rectory, rated in the king's books at £5. 12. 8½.;
present net-income, £120; patron, E. Ballard, Esq.
The church is dedicated to St. Arau. There is a
place of worship for Independents; also a dameschool in connexion with the Church, and two Sunday
schools, one of them conducted on Church principles,
and the other belonging to the Independent body.
Mr. Gibbon, of Newton House, near Cowbridge, bequeathed £200, the interest of which is annually
distributed among the poor, shortly after Christmas;
being a portion of a benefaction of £500 left by that
gentleman, the residue of which he directed to be
divided equally among the parishes of Llanharan,
Llantrissent, and Llanblethian.
LLANHOWEL (LLAN-HOWEL), a parish,
in the union of Haverfordwest, hundred of Dewisland, county of Pembroke, South Wales, 4½
miles (E. by N.) from St. David's; containing 160
inhabitants. It is situated in the north-western part
of the county, nearly in the centre of a peninsula
stretching into St. George's Channel, and terminating
in the promontory called St. David's Head. The
living is a discharged vicarage, with that of Llandeloy
annexed; patrons and impropriators, the Dean and
Chapter of the Cathedral of St. David's. The tithes
of Llanhowel have been commuted for £67 payable
to the impropriators, and £42 payable to the vicar:
the vicar's glebe comprises eighty-one acres, valued
at £60 per annum. The church, dedicated to St.
Hoel, presents no details of importance.
LLANIDAN (LLAN-IDAN), a parish, in the
union of Carnarvon, hundred of Menai, county
of Anglesey, North Wales, 7 miles (S. W. by W.)
from Bangor; containing, exclusively of the chapelry
of Llanvair-y-Cwmmwd, 1370 inhabitants. This
parish, which is situated on the western shore of the
Menai strait, was in ancient times one of the principal
stations of the Druids, being included in a large
district, in which the arch-druid, the sub-druid, and
other priests of that order had their abode. From
this circumstance are derived the names of the several
hamlets of the parish, of which Tre'r Dryw was the
seat of the arch-druid; Tre'r Beirdd, that of the bards;
Bôdowyr, the residence of Druidical priests; and
Bôd Drudan, a habitation of the Druids. Suetonius
Paulinus, who entirely destroyed the authority of
these priests in Britain, is said to have landed his
forces at Porthamel, not far from this place, at a spot
still called Pant yr Ysgraf, or "the valley of skiffs,"
from his having transported his infantry across the
Menai in flat-bottomed boats. Being, however,
almost immediately compelled to retreat by the insurrection under Boadicea, the Roman general was
unable to make any permanent settlement here; nor
have any remains undoubtedly Roman, either of this
or a later period, been discovered, with the exception
only of a few coins that have been occasionally dug up
in the neighbourhood. The parish comprises 4001
acres, of which 30 acres are common or waste. The
lands, with some trifling exceptions, are inclosed, and
in a good state of cultivation. Limestone abounds
in the parish, the quarrying and burning of which
afford employment to several of the inhabitants,
great quantities being prepared for manure, and
shipped in the Menai, to be conveyed coastwise to
Liverpool and other places. Llanidan Hall, a seat
of Lord Boston's, commands fine prospects. At Bryn
Siencyn, near the strait, in the parish, fairs are held
on March 11th, April 14th, September 13th, October
12th, and November 12th.
The living is a discharged vicarage, with the perpetual curacies of Llanddaniel-Vab, Llanedwen, and
Llanvair-y-Cwmmwd annexed, rated in the king's
books at £10; present net income, £292: one-third
of the great tithes belongs to the vicar, and the remainder to Lord Boston, who is patron. The church,
dedicated to St. Nidan, was appropriated to the convent of Bethgelart; its revenues shared the fate of
that establishment in 1535, and the advowson was
granted by Queen Elizabeth to Edward Downam and
Peter Ashton. In 1605 those grantees sold the advowson to Richard Prytherch of Myvyrian, whose
daughter conveyed it by marriage to the Llwyds of
Lligwy, on the extinction of which family it was purchased, with the rest of their estates, by Lord Uxbridge, who bequeathed it to the father of the present
Lord Boston. The present church was erected only
a few years ago, at some distance from the former
edifice; it cost upwards of £600, and is apparently
of substantial construction, but is much inferior in
style to the old building. The latter, which has been
for the most part demolished, was an interesting
church, and one of the most important religious
structures in the isle of Anglesey. Its situation, also,
was somewhat peculiar, it being erected in an inclosure almost circular, surrounded by "tall ancestral
trees," and immediately behind the mansion of Lord
Boston, from which it was not twenty yards distant.
The reasons assigned for its desertion were, that it
required so much reparation as to make it more advantageous to raise a new edifice; and next, that the
population having shifted to the spot called Bryn
Siencyn, it was desirable to choose a site for the
new church in that part of the parish. There are
several places of worship for dissenters; a Church
day school, at Bryn Siencyn; and three Sunday
schools, all of them belonging to the dissenters. The
Rev. Henry Rowlands, in 1616, bequeathed to the
poor a rent-charge of 8s. on his estate of Plâs Gwyn,
besides which there are some small rent-charges
amounting to about as much more, and a few charitable donations and bequests; principally a sum of
£1 paid annually by Lord Boston, and a similar
amount from a bequest by an unknown donor to be
divided among twenty old men. Two small charities
have been lost.
Of the Druidical antiquities with which the parish
abounded, and of which so exact an account has been
given by Mr. Rowlands in his "Mona Antiqua
Restaurata," but very few are at present in any tolerable state of preservation, and of many there are
scarcely any vestiges. The spacious grove and
temple of Tre 'r Dryw are now hardly distinguishable; and only a few of the stones that formed the
sacraria are remaining to mark out the site: Bryn
Gwyn, the grand consistory of the Druidical administration, a circular cavity 180 feet in diameter, was
surrounded originally by an immense rampart of
earth and stones, and had near it a circle of stones, one
of which, now forming part of the gable of a dwellinghouse, is above twelve feet in height and of proportionate bulk. Tre 'r Beirdd, "the seat of the bards,"
has been almost entirely demolished, the materials
having been used for building; its site is now occupied by two small tenements. Bôdowyr contains
a cromlech, supported on several upright stones, in a
tolerably perfect state, but the circle has been removed. Trêvrŷ has only three upright stones remaining, at a great distance from each other; the
foundations have been removed, and the site was
levelled by the plough in 1827. Tan Ben y Cevn
remains in an entire state, though concealed from
observation by the brambles with which it is overspread. Two upright stones only are left at Llŷslew;
and of numerous others, noticed by Mr. Rowlands,
not the slightest vestiges can be traced. Caer Lêb,
or "the moated intrenchment," supposed to have
been the residence of the arch-druid, is in good preservation, and forms a quadrangular area, defended
by a double rampart, with a broad intervening ditch,
and surrounded on the outside by a ditch of smaller
dimensions; within the area are foundations of square
and circular buildings. It is now doubted whether
Caer Lêb be not a Roman encampment; and it is
asserted that a paved road, similar to a Roman road
in construction, runs by the north-eastern side of the
work, and across the adjoining common towards the
Menai; the road lies about three feet below the soil,
and has been of late exposed in several places.
Castell Idris, built on the summit of a rock, and defended on the accessible sides by three walls in the
form of a crescent, is a fortress of British origin, but
of later date than the time of the Druids; it is a
place of great strength and in good preservation,
though overgrown with brambles, and concealed by
a young plantation of forest-trees. The Rev. Henry
Rowlands, already mentioned, author of the "Mona
Antiqua Restaurata," published in 1723, was vicar of
the parish at the time he wrote that work.
LLANIDLOES (LLAN-IDLOES), a borough, market-town, and parish, and, jointly with
Newtown, the head of a poor-law union, in the
Upper division of the hundred of Llanidloes,
county of Montgomery, North Wales, 26½ miles
(S. W.) from Welshpool, 22 (W. S. W.) from Montgomery, and 193 (W. N. W.) from London; containing 4261 inhabitants, of whom 2742 are in the borough. This parish, which is of considerable extent,
derives its name from the dedication of its church to
St. Idloes, an eminent British saint, who flourished
about the middle of the sixth century. The town is
situated in a fertile vale, watered by the river Severn,
which has its source within the parish, and almost surrounded by hills of moderate elevation, some of them
crowned with thriving plantations, and others richly
cultivated. The scenery of the vale is beautifully
picturesque, and the banks of the river are enlivened
with some pleasant villas and handsome residences:
the hills that surround the town form a striking contrast to the barren heights seen in the distance,
among which the great mountain of Plinlimmon,
partly within the limits of the parish, forms a conspicuous and interesting feature. Llanidloes occupies a favourable site on the southern bank of the
Severn, and on the turnpike-road from Shrewsbury
through Newtown to Aberystwith. It consists principally of two spacious streets, intersecting each other
nearly at right angles, and has been improved and
enlarged by the erection of several respectable houses.
On the western side, and in a picturesque situation
near the vicarage-house, is a stone bridge of one arch
over the river; and another handsome stone bridge of
three arches has been erected, at an expense of
£3000, over the same river, near the place where it
receives the tributary stream of the Clywedog, which,
after flowing some distance through the parish, falls
into the Severn. The inhabitants are amply supplied
with water.
The approaches to the town are remarkably fine,
especially that from Aberystwith, and the environs
abound with features of rural simplicity and romantic beauty. On the road leading from Aberystwith,
having passed over a bridge about two miles from
Llanidloes, is a genteel house, called Glandulas, the
grounds belonging to which are planted with a variety
of fir, lime, elm, chestnut, beech, and other trees; a
beautiful trout-stream flowing close to the house.
Upon the south side is Maenol, a very handsome
large house, erected in the Elizabethan style, and
forming an ornamental feature in the scenery; and
immediately bordering on the town is Glandwr, a
beautiful residence, having grounds disposed with
great taste, and planted with trees, flowering-shrubs,
and annuals. Dôl Llŷs, in the parish, commands a
delightful view of the Vale of Severn, with the windings of the river and the rich and finely varied
scenery on its banks, terminated by the high mountains in the distance. Mount Severn, an elevated
and truly romantic spot, overlooking the river, which
winds beautifully below the house, commands an interesting view of the picturesque cottage of Nant-y-Brace, embosomed in the trees that crown the opposite bank. There are some pleasing views to the
south-east, and in many parts of the neighbourhood
are fine prospects over the adjacent country, which
is richly diversified. Besides the Severn, the Clywedog and the Dulas water the parish; and about
two miles from the town, on the road to Trêveglwys,
is a spacious pool called Llyn Ebyr, extending over
a surface of about fifty acres, and abounding with
pike, eels, and perch; it is frequented by wild fowl,
and during the summer season is the resort of parties
of pleasure, for whose accommodation several boats,
belonging to gentlemen in the vicinity, are kept upon
the pool.
The manufacture of flannel has been established
from a very early period in this town, which sixty
years ago was the only place in the county where
that material was made, the produce being conveyed
by packhorses to the market of Welshpool for sale.
Since that period, however, it has been outrivalled
by Newtown, which, within the last five and forty
years, has obtained great eminence in the production of flannel of a finer texture, though probably less
durable, than that of Llanidloes. The manufacture
here has, notwithstanding, continued to increase, and
there are at present six carding-mills within the
limits of the parish, and eighteen fulling-mills, and
nearly 35,000 spindles constantly in operation in the
town and neighbourhood, affording employment to
considerably more than 2000 hands. All the spinning
and weaving were formerly carried on in private
houses and cottages, but of late years eight or nine
factories have been erected, in which most of the
same kind of work is now done, and three of which
are very superior buildings. About 300 pieces of
flannel, averaging in length 150 yards each, are
manufactured here, and sent every fortnight to the
market at Newtown, held every alternate Thursday.
There are several malt-houses and kilns in the town
and its vicinity, as well as tanneries and corn-mills.
The market is held on Saturday, and is abundantly
supplied with wool, grain, and provisions of every
kind. The market-house, or town-hall, an ancient
edifice of timber and plaster, is situated in the
centre of the town; but it is little used at present, in consequence of a very spacious hall having
been built, near the Trewythen Arms hotel, in the
second story of which the wool-market is kept, whilst
below are the shambles, butter-market, &c. Fairs
take place annually on the second Saturday in
February, the first Saturday in April, on May 11th,
the Saturday next preceding the 24th of June, on
July 17th, the second Saturday in September, the
first Friday in October, the 28th of that month, and
the Saturday before December 16th. Sheep-fairs are
also held every Thursday from the 26th of May to
the 26th of June inclusive, which are attended by
shepherds of both North and South Wales.
The town received its first charter of incorporation from John de Charlton, lord of Powys, in the
18th year of the reign of Edward III., and obtained
other successive charters, the last of which was granted
by John Tiptoft, lord of Powys, in the 26th year of
Henry VI. Under these charters, which have been
lost, or destroyed by accident, the government was
vested in a mayor, recorder, and an indefinite number
of aldermen and burgesses, assisted by a coroner, two
serjeants-at-mace, and other officers. The mayor was
elected by the burgesses annually at the court leet of
the lord of the manor, in the first week after Michaelmas, and might, if he chose to qualify, act as a magistrate within the borough, but was not ex officio a
justice of the peace: the recorder was appointed by
the lord of the manor, and held his office for life.
By the act 5th and 6th of Wm. IV., c. 76, the corporation is styled the "Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses," and consists of a mayor, four aldermen,
and twelve councillors, together forming the council
of the borough, of which the municipal and parliamentary boundaries are identical. The council elect
the mayor annually on Novembervember
1st, one-third going out of office every year. Aldermen and councillors must have each a property qualification of £500, or be rated at £15 annual value.clerk, treasurer, and other officers on Nov. 9th.
The elective franchise was granted in the 27th of
Henry VIII., when Llanidloes was constituted a
contributory borough to Montgomery; and it exercised that privilege till the year 1728, when, together with Llanvyllin and Welshpool, it was disfranchised by a vote of the House of Commons,
which restricted the right of election to the burgesses of Montgomery alone. This resolution being
directly at variance with a previous one in 1680,
by which the right had been confirmed, the burgesses, by the statute of the 28th of George III.,
were granted the power of asserting their claim to
vote for a member for Montgomery before any
future committee of the House, and of making any
appeal, within twelve calendar months, against any
subsequent decision. The act for "Amending the
Representation of the People," in 1832, restored the
franchise to the borough, in common with others in
the county which had been deprived of it; and it
is now one of the five that contribute with Montgomery in the return of a representative to parliament. The right of voting is vested in every male
person of full age occupying, either as owner, or
as tenant under the same landlord, a house or other
premises in the borough of the annual value of not
less than £10, provided he be capable of registering
as the act directs: the present number of tenements
of this value within the limits of the borough, which
were somewhat confined by the Boundary Act, and
are minutely detailed in the Appendix to this work,
is 113. Llanidloes is also a polling-place in the
election of a parliamentary representative for the
shire. The county magistrates and county coroner
exercise jurisdiction within the town, and the former
hold a petty-session for the hundred on the first Monday in every month. The powers of the county debtcourt of Llanidloes, established in 1847, extend over
the parishes of Llanidloes, Llangurig, and Trêveglwys. A court baron for the manor of Arustley,
the jurisdiction of which extends over the hundred,
takes place every third Monday, for the recovery of
debts and determining of actions under the amount of
£2, by process similar to that of the supreme courts
at Westminster.
The parish is bounded on the north by that of
Trêveglwys; on the south by the parishes of Llangurig and St. Harmon, the latter of which is in Radnorshire; on the east by that of Llandinam; and on
the west by Llanbadarn-Vawr, in the county of Cardigan. It comprises by admeasurement 17,278 acres,
of which 4078 are sheep-walks, and the remainder
inclosed land, consisting of arable and pasture. The
surface being hilly, and in some parts mountainous,
the soil is various, though generally fertile, producing
wheat, oats, and barley; the lower grounds, which
are tolerably well wooded with oak, fir, and other
trees, are in a good state of cultivation, and the declivities of the hills afford pasturage to numerous flocks
of sheep. In 1816 an act of parliament called the
"Arustley Inclosure Act" was obtained for improving the common and waste in the vicinity, under
the provisions of which considerable portions of land
in this parish have been inclosed, and are now under
cultivation. Lead-ore has been found, and some
mines were formerly worked, but not with sufficient
advantage to remunerate the adventurers, and they
were consequently discontinued: the hills abound with
coarse slate, and in the vicinity are some quarries of
stone of good quality for building.
The living is a discharged vicarage, rated in the
king's books at £4. 3. 4.; present net income, £151,
with a glebe-house; patron, the Bishop of Bangor;
impropriators, the Dean and Chapter of Bangor, Sir
W. W. Wynn, Bart., and the Vicar of Llangurig.
The church, dedicated to St. Idloes, was originally
founded towards the close of the fifth, or at the beginning of the sixth century. The present structure
consists of a nave and aisle, with a tower more ancient
than either. The aisle was built about 200 years
since, and is separated from the nave by brought hither from the abbey of Cwm
Hîr, in the county of Radnor, and the date upon
one of the shields (1542) corresponds with the time
of the dissolution of that establishment. amounting to £1600: a new set of bells was hung in the
tower, in 1825, at a cost of £200. The area is very
spacious, and there is a small gallery; the sittings
will accommodate 550 or 600 persons. There are
places of worship for Baptists, Independents, and
Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists; a National
day and Sunday school, for boys and girls; and fourteen Sunday schools for children and adults, supported by the dissenters. The Rev. Dr. David
Lloyd bequeathed a rent-charge of £2. 12., to be
apportioned out in bread on Sundays to the poor.
Catherine Lloyd left £100, with which, and its accumulated interest, two properties, called Tŷ'n-y-Vron,
and Crowlwm, were purchased; the one containing
twenty-nine acres and a quarter, to which an inclosure allotment of twenty-one acres was subsequently
added, and the other ten and a half acres, afterwards
increased by an allotment of eleven acres and threequarters; the whole now producing a rent of £33. 15.,
which is appropriated towards the support of the
National school. A rent-charge of £14 by the Rev.
Dr. Jenkin Bowen, of Welford, Gloucestershire, and
another of £2. 10. by Evan Glynne, of Glynne, are
distributed among the poor.
Within the limits of the parish is partly included
the lofty mountain of Plinlimmon, or, more properly, Pumlum, that on the higher peak being pyramidal, commercial
importance, while the Wye and the Rheidiol surpass
all other rivers in Britain for the Llanidloes.
The Wye rises from two powerful springs on the
south-eastern side of the mountain, and, after a long
circuitous course, falls into the Severn below Chepstow. The Rheidiol has its source in the pool of
Llygad Rheidiol, and falls into the Irish Sea at Aberystwith; the Llyvnant issues from a pool called Glâs
Lyn. The height of the mountain is 2463 feet. At
Melin Velindre, on the route to Plinlimmon, is a
romantic cataract; and near the sheep-farm of Blaen
Havren the Severn rolls its waters over a lofty ledge
of slate rocks, in which they have formed gullies of
various picturesque shapes.
LLANIESTYN (LLAN-IESTYN), a parish,
in the union of Bangor and Beaumaris, partly in
the hundred of Tyndaethwy, and partly within the
liberties of the borough of Beaumaris, county of
Anglesey, North Wales, 3½ miles (N. W. by N.)
from Beaumaris; containing 275 inhabitants, of whom
129 are in the former, and 146 in the latter, portion.
This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Iestyn or Iestin, son of
Geraint, is situated nearly in the centre of the promontory separating Beaumaris Roads from the Irish
Sea, and comprises a small tract of land, the greater
part of which is inclosed and cultivated. The perpetual curacy, annexed to that
of Llangoed. The church was granted in 1243, by
Prince Llewelyn, to the priory that he had recently
founded at Llanvaes, to which establishment it belonged at the Dissolution. The present building is
for the most part of the fifteenth century; it is one of
the plainest churches in the island of Anglesey, and
consists only of a nave, or single aisle, but contains
two highly interesting relics, namely, a sculptured
slab commemorating the saint after whom the church
is named, and a remarkably curious font probably of
the twelfth century. The slab, which is now, for
better preservation, placed vertically in the wall, is
of the fourteenth century, being some centuries after
the time of the saint; and is surpassed in antiquarian
value by few monumental effigies in Wales. It is of
curious workmanship, and bears. The inscription on the slab, in old
characters, has been variously read by different antiquaries, but the following is the tenour, as correctly
given by the Hon. Daines Barrington, and adopted
by Mr. Pennant: "Hic jacet Sanctus Yestinus, cui
Gwenllian, Filia Madoc et Gryffyt ap Gwilym, optulit in oblacoem istam imaginem p. salute animarum s."
The monument is noticed by Rowlands, in his "Mona
Antiqua Restaurata," and an account of it was read
before the Society of Antiquaries, in 1776, and published in the fifth volume of the Archæologia: an
accurate engraving of it, also, with two views of the
font, is comprised in the Archæologia Cambrensis for
October 1847. The income arising from a few
small charitable donations and bequests amounting
to £24, which have been vested in the purchase of
land, and produce a rental of £2. 2., is annually distributed among the poor; and the parish has erected
three cottages upon another portion of the land so
bought, which, with one before existing on it, are
given to poor families to live in rent-free.
LLANIESTYN (LLAN-IESTYN), a parish,
in the union of Pwllheli, principally in the hundred of Dinllaen, and partly in that of Gaflogion,
in the Lleyn division of the county of Carnarvon,
North Wales, 8 miles (W. by S.) from Pwllheli;
containing 1090 inhabitants. This parish, which
derives its name from the dedication of its church, is
pleasantly situated at the head of a small valley
opening towards the south, near the south-western
extremity of the county, almost in the centre of the
great headland that separates the bay of Carnarvon
from that of Cardigan. It is bounded on the southeast by the parishes of Llangian and Bottwnog,
and on the north-west by those of Tydweiliog and
Penllêch; and comprises about 4500 acres, nearly
equally divided between arable and pasture land.
The scenery, though bare of wood, is interesting and
picturesque, being greatly diversified with hill and
dale; and the soil, some of which is light earth and
other parts heavy clay, produces chiefly barley and
oats. In the mountainous part of the parish are
some appearances of lead-ore and nikel, but the veins
are not of sufficient extent to promise remuneration
to the adventurer, and no works have been opened.
The village is seated at the base of Carn Madryn, a
lofty, barren, isolated hill, which was formerly one of
the strongholds of Roderic and Maelgwyn, sons of
Owain Gwynedd, to whom this part of the principality
belonged. The summit of the hill was once surrounded by a wall, still traceable in its whole circuit,
and remaining in some parts to the height of several
feet; within the area are foundations of circular
buildings, and near the base of the mountain are the
remains of numerous circular and quadrilateral buildings, the walls of which are in many instances tolerably perfect. The upper part of the mountain is
supposed to have been occupied by the chieftains
during their sojourn in this stronghold, and the base
by their vassals and subsidiary forces, who, during
times of invasion, came hither with their cattle for
security.
The living is a rectory, with the perpetual curacies
of Bôdverin, Llandegwining, and Penllêch annexed,
rated in the king's books at £21. 3. 9.; present net
income, £595, with a glebe-house; patron, the Bishop
of Bangor. The tithes of the parish have been commuted for a rent-charge of £371, with a glebe of 23a.
2r. 31p., valued at £30 per annum. The church,
dedicated to St. Iestyn, is a spacious and handsome
structure, partly in the later Norman, and partly in
the early English style of architecture, consisting of
a nave, south aisle, and chancel, the whole seventyeight feet long and forty-two broad, and containing
about 500 sittings. The aisle is separated from the
nave by a range of pentagonal pillars and circular
arches, and is lighted by a series of elegant lancetshaped windows: some fragments still remain of the
exquisitely carved oak screen that divided the chancel
from the nave. The pulpit and the reading-desk are
attached, the former to the northern, and the latter
to the southern, wall. There are two places of worship for Calvinistic Methodists, and one for Independents; a day school; and four Sunday schools,
three of which belong to the dissenters. The rental
of a tenement bequeathed by Roger Jones, in 1621,
and now producing £13 per annum, is distributed
among the poor at Christmas: there is also a sum of
12s. 6d., a portion of £5 interest, payable on a turnpike-bond of the trustees of the Conway road; and
about a similar sum from an ancient rent-charge, disposed of in like manner.

At Whitehall, April 6.
Present: The King's most Excellent Majesty.
New-England.
'His Majesty and the Board taking into consideration the frequent resort to New-England, of divers Person ill-affected to the Religion established in the Church of England, and to the good and peaceable Government of this State. However, upon the humble Petition of the Merchants, Passengers, and Owners of Ships now bound for New-England, and upon the Reasons by them representedto the Board, His Majesty was graciously pleased at this time to free them from a late Restraint, and to set them at liberty to proceed on in their intended Voyage. Nevertheless His Majesty well knowing the factious disposition of the People (for a great part of them) in that Plantation, and how unfit and unworthy they are of any Support or Countenance from hence, in respect of the great Disorders and want of Government amongst them; where of sundry and great Complaints have been presented to the Board, and made appear to be true, by those that being well-affected, both for Religion and Government, have suffered much loss in their Estates by the unruly Factious Party, did think fit and Order, That Mr. Attorney General shall forthwith draw up a Proclamation, expressing his Majesty's Royal Pleasure to prohibit all Merchants, Masters, and Owners of Ships from henceforth to set forth any Ship, or Ships, with Passengers for New-England, till they first obtained special Licence on that behalf, from such of the Lords of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy-Council, as are appointed for the Business of Foreign Plantations by special Commission.
April 15.
Ministers and Tythes in adjacent Parishes to London
'Whereas an humble Petition was this day read at the Board unto the King's most excellent Majesty in the Names of the Parsons, Vicars, and Curats of the adjacent Places to the City of London, namely, of St. Margarets Westminster, St. Clements Danes, St. Giles in the Fields, St. James Clarkenwel, St. Leonard Shoreditch, St. Martins in the Fields, St. Mary Newington, in Southwark, St. Magdalen Bermondsey, St. Saviours Southwark, St. Kath. Tower, Lambeth, and St. Olaves in Southwark; Shewing unto His Majesty the great increase of New-Buildings of late Years, erected in the Petitioners
'several Parishes; and that the number of People is now so much augmented, that the said Livings are for the present incompetent and in no proportion meet for the discharge of so great Cures, some of the Petitioners receiving no Tithe at all, the rest far short of that which of right ought to be paid unto them; that great numbers of Parishioners in the aforesaid Parishes, now living in Houses, lately built upon that Ground which heretofore hath paid Tithes and other Rights (to the said several Churches) pay now to the Petitoners, either nothing, or but 2 d. at Easter, and 3 d. at the most, besides the Obventions of small value; and therefore humbly besought his Majesty, amidst His Gracious Thoughts towards the Clergy of London, to take the Case of the Parishioners into His Princely Care, and to take some course for the better maintenance of the Petitioners, and for the establishing of their Right. And whereas by former Order hath the said Parsons, Vicars, and Curats, and also the Church-Wardens, and divers of the principal Parishioners of the said Parishes appeared this day before His Majesty and their Lordships, in whose hearing and presence, the said Petition being again read, they the said Clergy, and Church-Wardens, and Parishioners, alleadged themselves to be no way authorized thereunto. It was thereupon by His Majesty ordered, That the said Clergy should forthwith prepare their Submissions respectively. And that the Church-Wardens and Vestry-Men of the aforesaid several Parishes, should with like diligence and expedition assemble their Parishioners; and communicating the Petition of the said Clergy unto them, withall acquaint them with His Majesty's Pleasure touching their Submission; and they the Parishioners by Writing, signed with their hands, fully to authorize their several Vestry-Men, or Church-Wardens, to return unto His Majesty their Answer therein. And that both the said Clergy, as also the Vestry-Men, or Church-Wardens of each Parish so authorized, fail not to give their attendance, with their said Submissions and Authorizations, upon Sunday the 6th of May next. Whereof all Parties are required hereby to take notice, and to govern themselves accordingly.
May the 4th.
Another Order of the Lords of the Council concerning St. Gregory's Church.
'This day upon consideration, as well of the Petition of the Parishioners of St. Gregories, as of certain Articles propounded by the Parishioners of St. Gregory's aforesaid, to the Parishioners of Christs-Church, and of others propounded by the Parishioners of Christs-Church to those of St. Gregory's, concerning the accommodating the Parishioners of St.Gregory's in the West end of Christ-Church, for the exercising of Divine Service there. It was by the Board ordered,
'That the Parishioners of St.Gregory's shall place no Pews in Christ-Church, but such as shall be moveable, to the end that Burials may not be hindered, when those of Christ-Church have occasion to bury there.
'That for the said Parishioners of St. Gregory's coming in and going, they shall make use of the West Doors only.
'That they shall depart and leave the said West end of the Church at the Feast of St.John Baptist, which shall be in the Year of Our Lord God 1641.
'That those of St.Gregory's shall leave the Church as they found it, and as well repaired in all respects, ordinary use and wearing excepted.

A further Order concerning Tithes as to the Out-Parishes.
'This day Information was given to His Majesty and the Board, That where His Majesty's Order of the of April last, touching the Submission of fixteen of the Out-Parishes in the Suburbs of London, and the Liberties of Westminster, unto His Majesty and the Board, concerning the Increase of Maintenance to their Ministers, in such manner as other Parishes within the City of London had done,
'was published within the Parish Church of St. Giles in the Fields, upon Ascension day last past; That one George Winder, qualifying himself a Messenger Extraordinary of His Majesty's Chamber, did, in the midst of a great Assembly of the Parishioners, who then seemed inclinable to return unto His Majesty a modest and respective Answer to His Pleasure signified unto them, did in a most uncivil and insolent manner affront Mr. Dr. Heywood, one of His Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary, Parson of the said Parish, and Lawrence Whitaker Esq; one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, an Inhabitant in the said Parish, when they delivered the Points of the said Order to the Assembly, and perswaded them to submission therein required, whereby, and by his peremptory carriage, and affirming of untruths, the Votes of the said Parishioners were diverted from giving such satisfaction to His Majesty's Propostions as were expected. It was therefore ordered by His Majesty and the Board, That the Lord Chamberlain of His Majesty's Houshold should be prayed and required to call the said George Winder before him, and examine him touching the said Offence; and if he found it to be as was informed, that he should then take such order for his Punishment, either by taking from him the countenace of his pretened Service, or otherwise, as his Lordship shall find his Offence to deserve.

We are therefore in His Majesty's Name, and by His express Command, hereby to pray and require your (fn. 1) Lordship to take a present and strict Order, That no Clergy-Men be from hence-forth suffered to go over into the Summer-Islands, but such only as shall have approbation in that behalf, from Our very good Lords, the Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury his Grace, and the Lord Bishop of London. And that for all such of them as are already gone thither, without such Approbation, that you cause them forthwith to be remanded back hither. And so expecting a good account hereof from your Lordship, we bid you very heartily farewel.

The Qu. Mother of France comes to England.
October the last, Mary de Medicis, the Queen Mother of France, came to London, and so to St.James's. The People were generally Malecontent at her coming, and wish'd her farther off; for they did not like her Train and Followers, which had often been observed to bring the Sword or Pestilence, so that she was beheld as some Meteor of ill signification. Nor was one of these Calamities thought more the effect of her Fortune than Inclination, for her restless and uncessant Spirit was prone to embroil all wheresoever the came. Her impetuous banding and combining with Monsieur the Duke of Orleans, and the improperity of that enterprise, made France too hot for her, and drave her, in the Year 1631, to Brussels, where the Cardinal D'Infanta treated her a while with most honourable Caresses and Respects; but Flanders, which at first seemed her Place of Refuge, became afterwards her greatest Danger, she being (as her own Manifesto sets forth) so hunted and pursued with continual Imprecations and Curses there, as she began to fear some violence to her Person; so that quitting that Country, she betook her self to the Protection of the Prince of Orange 1637. Long she stayed not there, but having received an invitation from the Queen her Daughter, resorted hither.

To find Horse and Arms.
'This day, his Majesty being present in Council, was pleased in his Provident and Princely Care for the Safety and Defence of the Realm, to take into Consideration amongest other Particulars, the making compleat, and increasing all that conveniently may be, the number of Horse in every County, as a most important part of the Strength of the Kingdom. And for the better advancing and purting in execution thereof, it was taken into deliberation what proportion of Lands and Estate within the County ought to be chargeable with the finding of Horse; and upon mature advice thought fit and resolved, That every person having Lands of Inheritance of the clear yearly value of two hundred or three hundred pounds per Ann. within the County, or other Estate equivalent thereunto, should be chargeable with a Horse, viz. two hundred pounds per Annum with a Light Horse, and three hundred pounds per Annum with a Lance, at the discretion of the Lord-Lieutenant of that County for the time being. And whereas it was now like wise taken into consideration that the sparing of some Persons doth open a gap to excuses and backwardness in others; to the weakning both of Horse and Foot. And for that by Letters under his Majesty's Roial Signature, bearing date 24th day of May, And by a Minute of Letters from the Board, sent together with his Majesty's said Letters to the Lords Lieutenants of every County, it appeared that his Majesty's pleasure was then declared and signified to be, That no Man's Purse should be spared in these Services, upon any Excuse or Pretence what soever; And that his own Servants, and those that attend him in Court, should be priviledged only, and spared from personal and actual Duties, but their Lands and Revenues to be as liable as any others to the Charge of finding Arms in those Counties where the same to lie. It was therefore (according to his Majesty's express will and pleasure now again Declared) Resolved and Ordered, That the Direction and Command given on that behalf, by his Majesty's former Letters, should be pursued and put in Execution by the Lords Lieutenants of every County. And that the like Rule should be held and observed as well concerning the Persons as the Lands and Revenues, of all and every the Ministers and Officers of any his Majesty's Courts of Justice, or any others that pretend Privilege by reason of any relation to his Majesty's Service, or dependance upon any great Officer in respect of his Place and Office, which however it was not so particularly expressed in his Majesty's former Letters, yet (as his Majesty was now pleased to observe and declare) the same was
necessarily implied; for that if none of his own Servants were to be priviledged and exempted in their Lands and Estates from being chargeable with Arms, much less was it intendedthat the Ministers and Officers of any of his Courts of Justice, or any other pretending Privilege by his Majesty's Service, or by dependence upon any great Officers in respect of their Offices, should in a like case have any great Priviledge or exemption allowed them. Hereof a Copy is to be forthwith sent to the Lord Lieutenant of every County.

Affairs in Scotland.
Now we beg leave for a while to make a step into Scotland, to give an Account of the Transactions of Affairs in that Kingdom since the Month of December in the preceding Year 1637. The Scots begin their Year always with the Month of January, according to Foreign stile; so the first thing that offers it self in order of Times is, That his Majesty sent the Earl of Roxborough, Lord Privy-Seal (then at the Court in England ) to Scotland, with certain Instructions to the Council, who were to meet at Dalkeith, to consider of the Disordered Affairs of that Kingdom. And the Council removed the Session [or Term] from Linlithgow to Sterling, twenty four miles from Edinburgh, to the end the Multitudes might be dispersed, under pain of Treason; but nevertheless they came in great Tumults to Sterling also, and the Earl of Traquaire, Lord Treasurer of that Kingdom, being newly returned back from the King, went with the rest of the Council to Sterling, where they caused a Proclamation to be made for the dispersing of the huge and dangerous Tumults there assembled, and to assure the King's Subjects of his Majesty's sincerity towards the Religion Established in that Kingdom, and caused the Proclamation to that purpose (following) to be made publick accordingly.

A Proclamation to beat down Superstition. The King hath ordained a Common-Prayer Book.
Forasmuch as We, out of Our Princely Care of maintenance of the true Religion already professed, and for beating down of all superstition, having ordained a Book of Common-Prayer to be compiled for the general Use and edification of our Subjects, withing our Ancient kingdom of Scotland: The same was accordingly done. In the framing whereof We took great care and pains, so as nothing past therein but what was seen and approved by Us, before the same was either divulged or printed; assuring all Our loving Subjects, That not only Our intention is, but even the very Book will be a ready means to maintain the True Religion already professed, and beat out all superstition, of which We in Our own time do not doubt in a fair course to satisfy our good Subjects: But having seen and considered some Petitions and Declarations given in to Our Council against the said Book, and late Canons of the Church, We find Our Royal Authority much injured thereby, both in the Matter and in the Carriage thereof; whereby We conceive these of Our Nobility, Gentry, Burroughs, Ministers, and others, who kept and assisted these Meetings and Convocations, for contriving and forming the said Petitions, or who have subscribed the same, to deserve and be liable to Our high Censure, both in their Persons and fortunes, as having convened themselves, without either Our Consent or Authority; yet because We believe, That what they have done herein, is out of a preposterous zeal, and not out of any Disloyalty or disaffection to Soveraignty, We are graciously pleased, so far forth as concerns these Meetings, for consulting or subscribing of these Petitions, or presenting the same to any judge or Judges in OuO said kingdom, to dispense therewith, and with what may be their fault or Error therein, to all such as upon Signification or Declaration of Our Pleasure, shall retire themselves as becometh good and dutiful Subjects: To which purpose Our Will and Pleasure is, and We charge you straightly, and command, That these Letters seen, incontinent you pass, and in Our name and Authority, make intimation hereof to all Our Lieges and Subjects, by open Proclamation, at all places needful, wherethrough none pretend ignorance thereof; and therewith also that you in Our Name and Authority, discharge all such Convocations and Meetings in time coming, under the pain of Treason. And also that you command, charge, and inhibit all Our Lieges and Subjects, That none of them presume, nor take in hand, to resort nor repair to Our Burgh of Sterling, nor to no other Burgh where Our Council and Session fits, till first they declare their Cause of coming to Our Council, and procure their Warrant to that effect. And further, That you charge and command all sunory Probosts, Bailiffs, and Magistrates, within every Burgh, That they and every one of them, have special care and regard to see this Our Royal Will and Pleasure really
and dutifully obeyed in all Points, and that no violation thereof be suffered within their Bounds, under all highest Pain, Crime, and Offence, that they may commit against us in that behalf. As also that you command and charge all and sundry Noblemen, Barons, Ministers, and Burroughs, who are not actually Indwellers within this Our Burgh, and are not of the Number of the Lords of Our Pridy Council and Session, and Members thereof, and are already within this Our Burgh, that they and every one of them, remove themselves, and depart and pass forth out of Our said Burgh, and return not again without the Warrant aforesaid, within six hours atter the publication hereof, under the said pain of Treason. And as concerning any Petitions that shall hereafter be given Us, upon this or any other Subject, We are likewise pleased to declare, We will not shut Our Ears therefrom, so that neither the form nor matter be prejudicial to Our Regal Authority; the which to do, We commit to you, conjunctly and leberally, Our full Power by these Our Letters, delivering the same by you duly execute and indorsed again to the Bearer. Given under Our Signet at Sterling, the 19th day of February, and of Our Reign the 13th year, 1638.

We Noblemen, Barons, Ministers, Burgers, appointed to attend his Majesty's Answer to our humble Petition and Complaint, and to prefer new Grievances, and to do what else may lawfully conduce to our humble Desires; That whereupon the 23rd of September last, we presented a Supplication to Your Lordships, and another upon the 18th of October last; and also a new Bill relative to the former upon the 19th of December last, and did therein humbly remonstrate our just Exceptions against the Service-Book, and Book of Canons; and also against the Arch-Bishops and Bishops of this Kingdom, as the Contrivers, Maintainers, and Vrgers thereof, and against thier sitting as our Judges, until the Cause be decided; earnestly supplicating withal, to be freed and delivered from the these and all other Innovations of that kind, introduced against the laudable laws of this Kingdom, as that of the High Commission, and other Evils particularly mentioned, and generally contained in our foresaid Supplications and Complaints; and that this our Party Delinquent against our Religion and Laws, may be taken order with, and those pressing Grievances may be taken order with, and redressed according to the Laws of this Kingdom, as by our said Supplications and Complaints doth more largely appear; With the which, on the 19th of December last, we gave in a Declinator against the Arch-Bishops and Bishops as our Parties, who by consequence could not be our Judges: whereupon your Lordships did declare, by Your Act at Dalketih, the said 19th of December, That You would present our Petitions to His Majesty's Royal Consideration, and that without prejudice of the Declinator given in by us the said Supplicants, whereupon we should be heard at time and place convenient, and in the mean time should receive no prejudice, as the said Act in itself beareth. And
whereas we your Lordships Supplicants, with a great deal of patience, and hope also grounded on sundry promises, were expecting an Answer to these our humble Desires, and having learned that upon some Directions of his Majesty anent our Supplicatios and Complaints unto your Lordships of the secret Council, your Lordships admits to the consulting and judging anent our Supplications, and his Majesty's Answer thereunto; the Arch-Bishops and Bishops our direct Parties, contrary to our first Declinator propounded at Dalkeith, and now renewed at Sterling; and contrary to your Lordships Act aforesaid at Dalkeith, and contrary to our Religion, and Laws, and humble Supplications; therefore left our silence be prejudicial to this so important a Cause, as concerns God's Glory and Worship, our Religion, Salvation, the Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom, or derogatory to the former Supplications and Complaints, or unanswerable to the trust of our Commission; out of our bounden duty to our God, our King and native Country, we are forced to take Instruments in Notaries Hands, of your Lordships refusal to admit our Declinator, or remove these our Parties, and to protest in manner following.
First, That we may have our immediate recourse to our Sacred Soveraign, to present our Grievances, and in a legal way to prosecute the same before the ordinary competent Judges, Civil or Ecclesiastical, without any Offence offered by us, or taken by your Lordships.
Secondly, We protest that the Arch-Bishops and Bishops, our Parties complained upon, cannot be reputed or esteemed Lawful Judges, to sit in any Judicatory in this Kingdom, Civil or Ecclesiastical, upon any of the Supplicants, until after lawful Trial judicially, they purge themselves of such Crimes as we have already laid to their charge, offering to prove the same whensoever his Sacred Majesty shall please to give us audience.
Thirdly, We protest no Act nor Proclamation to follow thereupon, past, or to be past in Council or out of Council, in presence of the Arch-Bishops and Bishops, whom we have already declined to be our Judges, shall be any ways prejudicial to us the Supplicants, our Persons, Estates, lawful Meetings, Proceedings or Pursuits.
Fourthly, We protest that neither we, nor any whose Heart the Lord shall move to join with us in these our Supplications, against the aforesaid Innovations, shall incur any danger in Life, Lands, or any Political or Ecclesiastical Pains, for not observing such Acts, Books, Canons, Rites, Judicatures, Proclamations introduced without or against the Acts of General Assemblies, or Acts of Parliament, the Statutes of this Kingdom, but that it shall be lawful to us or them to use our selves in Matters of Religion, of the External Worship of God and Polity of the Church, according to the Word of God, and laudable Constitutions of this Church and Kingdom, conform to his Majesty's Declaration the 9th of December last.
Fifthly, Seeing by the legal and submissive way of our former Supplications, all those who take these Innovations to heart, have bin kept calm, and carried themselves in a quiet manner in hopes of redress; We protest that if any Inconvenience shall fall out, which we pray the Lord to prevent, upon the pressing of any the foresaid Innovations or Evils, specially or generally contained in our former Supplications and Complaints, and upon your Lordships refusal, to take order there anent, the same be not imputed unto us, who most humbly seek all things to be reformed by an Order.
Sixthly, We protest that these our Requests, proceeding from Conscience,
and adue respect to his Majesty's Honour, do tend to no other end, but to the preservation of the true Resormed Religion, the Laws and Liberties of his Majesty's most ancient Kingdom, and satisfaction of our most humble Desires contained in our Supplication and Complaint, according to his Majesty's accustomed Goodness and Justice; from which we do certainly expect that his Sacred Majesty will provide and grant such Remedy to our just Petitions and Complaints, as may be expected from so gracious a King towards his most Loyal and Dutiful Subjects, calling for redress of so pressing Grievances, and praying to God that his Majesty may long and prosperously reign over us.
After this their Protestation, they did erect a great number of Tables (as they called them); in Edinburgh four Principals, one of the Nobility, another of the Gentry, a third of the Burroughs, and a fourth of the Ministers. And the Gentry had many subordinate Tables, according to their several Shires. These several Tables did consult of what they thought sit to be propounded at the General Table, which consisted of several Commissioners chosen from the other four Tables. And from this time they proceeded in framing and subscribing of their Covenant; concerning which, faith Dr. Belcanqual, the reputed Penman of the King's Declaration, That the first Dung that which from these Stables was thrown upon the Face of Authority and Government, was that lewd Covenant and seditious Band annexed unto it; which followeth in these words.
The Consession forts of Person, in the year 1590, by a new Ordinance of Council, at the desire of the General Assembly; with a General Band for maintenance of the True Religion, and the Kings Person, and now subscribed in the Year 1638, by us Noblemen, Barons, Gentlemen, Bugesses, Ministers, and Commons under subscribing; to gether with our Resolution and Promises for the Causes after specified, to maintain the said True Religion, and the Kings Majesty, according to the Consession aforesaid, and Acts of Parliament; the Tenure whereof here followeth.
We all, and every one of Us under written, do protest, That after long and due examination of our own Consciences in Matters of True and False Religion, are now throughly resolved of the Truth, by the Word and Spirit of God; and therefore We believe with Our Hands, and constantly affirm before God and the whole World, That this only is the true Christian Faith and Religion, pleasing God, and bringing Salvation to Man, which now is by the Mercy of God revealed to the World by the preaching of the bleassed Evangel. And received, believed, and defended by many and sundry notable Kirks and Relams, but chiefly by the Kirk of Scotland, the King's Majesty, and three Estates of this Realm, as God's Eternal Truth, and only Ground of Our Salvation; as more particularly
is expressed in the Consession of Our Faith, established and publickly confirmed by sundry Acts of Parliament; and now of a long time hath bin openly prosessed by the King's Majesty, and whole Body of this Realm, both in Burgh and Land. To the which Consession, consuted by the Word of God, and Kirk of Scotland. But in special, We detest and refuse Rights, proph Langauage; with his Processions and blasphemous Letany, and multitude of Advocates or Mediators; his manifold Orders, Auricular Consession; his desperate and uncertain Repentance; his general and doubtsome Faith; his Satisfactions of Men for their Sins; his Justification by Works, Opus Operatum, Works of Supererrogation, Merits, Pardons, Peregrinations and Stations: His Holy Water, baptizing of Bells, conjuring of Spirits, Crossing, Saning, Anointing, Conjuring, Hallowing of God's good Creatures, with the Superstitious Opinion joined therewith. His wordly Monarchy, and wicked Hierarchy; his three solemn Vows, with all his shavelings of sundry forts; his erroneous and bloody Decrees made at Trent, with all the Subscribers & Our selves willingly in Doctrine, Religion, Faith, Discipline, and Use Out won Consciences, minding thereby, first under the External Claok of Religion, to corrupt and subvert secretly God's True Religion within the Kirk; and afterwards, when time may serve, to become open Enemies and Persecuters Justicie among us, we protest and promise with Our Hearts under the same Oath hand Writ, and pains, that We shall defend his Person and Authority, with out Goods, Bodies, and Lives, in the defence of Christ his Evangel, Libertis of Our Country, Ministration of Justice, and Punishment of Iniquity, against all Enemies within this Realm, or without, as We desire Outarty and Superstition: Or of the Papistical Kirk, as Act. 3.

And to that end they ordained all Papists and Priests to be punished by manifold Civil and Ecclesiastical Pains, as Adversaries to God's True Religion preached, and by Law established within this Realm, Act. 24 Part 3.

Jam. 6. 6. declares, That there is no other face of Kirk, nor other face of Religion, than was presently at that time by the favour
of God established within this Realm, which therefore is ever stiled God's true Religion, Christ's true Religion, the true and Christian Religion, and a perfect Religion. Which by manifold Acts of Parliament, all within this Realm are bound to prosess to subscribe the Articles thereof, the Confession of Faith, to recant all Doctrine and Errors repugnant to any of the said Articles, Act 4. &9. Parl. 1. Act 45, 46, 47. Parl. 3. Act 71. Parl. 6. Act 106. Parl. 7. Act 24. Parl. 11. Act 123. Parl. 12. Act 194. & 197. Parl. 14. of King James 6. And all Magistrates, Sheriffs, &c. on the one part, are or Jained to search, apprehend, and punish all Contraveners: For instance, Act 5. Parl. 1. Act 104. Parl. 7. Act 25. Parl. 11. K. Jam. 6. And that, notwith standing 6. On the other part, in Act 47. Parl. 3. K. James 6. Soveraign Lord's Authority, and at the uttermost of their Power to fortifie, assist and maintain the true Preachers and Professors of Christ's Religion, against whatsoever Enemies and Gainstanders of the same: and namely, against all such of whatsoever Nation, Estate, or Degree they be of, that have joined and bound themselves, or have assited, or assists, to set forward and execute the cruel Decrees of Trent, contrary to the Preachers and true Professors of the Word of God, which is repeated word by word in the Articles of pacification at Pearth the 23d Feb. 1572, approved by Parliament the last of April 1573, ratified in Parliament 1578, and related Act 123. Parl. 12. of King James 6. with this addition, That they are bound to resist all treasonable Uproars and Hostilities raised against the true Religion, the King's Majesty and the true Professors.
'Like-as all Lieges are bound to maintain the King's Majesty's Roial Person and Authority, the Authority of Parliaments, without which neither any Laws or lawful Judicatories can be established, Act 130. Act 131. Parl. 8. K. James 6. and the Subjects Liberties, who ought only to live and be governed by the King's Laws, the common Laws of this Realm allenarly, Act 48. Parl. 3. K. James 1. Act 79. Parl. 6. K. James 4. repeated in Act 131. Parl. 8. K. James 6. which if they be innovated or prejudged, the Commission anent the Union of the two Kingdoms of Scotland and England, which is the sole Act of 17. Parl. k. James 6. declares such confusion would ensue, as this Realm could be no more a free Monarchy: because by the fundamental Laws, ancient Priviledges, Offices and Liberties of this Kingdom, not only the Princely Authority of his Majesty's Roial Descent hath been these many Ages maintained, also the Peoples, & 14 Act of K. James 6. & 4 Act of King Charles, That all Kings and Princes at their Coronation and Reception of their Trincely Authority, shall make their faithful Promise by their Solemn Oath in the Presence of the Eternal God, That during the whole time of their Lives they shall serve the same Eternal God to the utmost of their Power, according as he hath required in his most holy Wordy contained in the Old and New Testaments, and according to the same Word shall maintain the true Religion of Christ Jesus, the Preachingof his holy Word, the due and right Ministration of the Sacraments now received and preached within this Realm (according to the Confession of Faith immediately preceding;) and shall abolish and gain said publick Catechisms, and which had bin for many Years with ablessing from Heaven Preached and Professed in this Kirk and Kingdom, as God's undoubted Truth, grounded only upon his written Word: The other Cause was for maintaining the King's Majesty, his Person and Estate; The true Worship of God and the King's Authority being fo straight, Burgesles, Ministers, and Commons under subseribing, Protections, Do hereby profess, and before God, his Angels, and the World solemnly declare, that with our whole Hearts we agree and resolve all the days of our life constantly to adhere unto, and to defend the foresaid true Religion, and forbearing the practice of all Novations,
already introduced in the matters of the Worship of God, or apporbation of teh Corruptions of the publick Government of the Kirk, or civil Places and Power of Kirnmen, till they be tried and allowed in free Assemblies, and in Paliaments, to labour by all means lawful to recover the Purity and Liberty of the Gospel, as it was established and prosessed before teh aforesaid Novations: And because after due examination We plainly perceive, and undoubtedly believe, that the Innovations and Evils contained in our Supplications, Complaints and PRotestations have no warrant of the Word of God, are contrary to the Articles of the aforesaid Consessions, to the intention and meaning of the blessed Reformers of Religion in this Land, to the above written Acts of Parliament, and do sensibly tend to the reestablishing of the Popish Religion and Tyranny, and to the subversion and ruin of the true Reformed Religion, and of our Liberties, Laws and Estates; We also declare, that the aforesaid Consessions are to be interpreted, and ought to be understood of the aforesaid Novations and Evils, no less than if every one of them had bin expressed in the foresaid Consessions; and that we are obliged to detest and abhor them, amongst other particular Heads of Papistry abjured therein; And therefore from the knowledge and Conscience of our Duty to God, to our King and Country, without any worldly respect or inducement, so far as humane infirmity will suffer, wishing a further measure of the Grace of God for this effect, We promise and swear by the great Name of the Lord our God, To continue in the prosession and obedience of the aforesaid Religion; That we shall desend the same, adn any thing another, in the same Cause of maintaining the true Religion, and his Majesty's Authority, with our best Counsels, our selves soul Aspersions of Rebellion, Combination, or what else our Adversaries from their Craft
and Malice would put upon Us, seeing what We do is so well warranted, and ariseth from an unseigned desire to maintain the True Worship of God, the Majesty of Our King, and the Peace of the Kingdom, for the common happiness of Our selves and Posterity. And because We cannot look for a Blessing from God upon Our Proceedings, except with Our Prosession and Subscription, We join such a Life and Conversation as beseemeth Christians, who have renewed their Covenant with God; We therefore faithfully promise, for Our Selves, Our Followers, and all other under Us, both in publick, in Our particular Families, and personal Carriage, to endeavour to keep Our selves unseigned Resolution, as we shall answer to Jesus Christ in the great Day, and under the pain of God's everlasting Wrath, and of Insamy, and of loss of all Honour and Respect in this World: Most humbly beseeching the Lord to strengthen Us by his Holy Spirit for this end, and to bless Our Desires and Proceedings with a happy Success, that Religion and Reighteousness may flourish in the Land, to the Glory of God, the Honour of Our King, and Peace and Comfort of Us all.
'In Witness whereof We have subscribed with Our Hands all the Premises, &c.
This Covenant was no sooner framed, but it so took, as it was presently sworn, first at Edinburgh, in the Month of February 1638 Scottish style, and then every-where through the Country, to be subscribed according to the Example of those in Edinburgh.
K. D. p. 7.
It is observed i teh King's Declaration, That whereas the Band annexed to the former Consession, was made in defence of the King's Authority and Person, with their Fortunes, Bodies, and Lives, in defence of the Gospel of Christ, and Liberties of the Kingdom, &c. But to this Covenant (faith the Declaration ) they have added a mutual Defence of one another, and made against all Persons whatsoever, who shall oppose them in their Courses, not excepting the King himself; neither was the King's consent to this their New Covenant ever granted, nor ever so much as once asked.
The Proclamation dated Feb. 19, and published at Sterling, was so far from giving satisfaction, that it produced greater consusion; for it met with a Protestation sent from those of the Tables, who not withstanding the Proclamation, continued to sit. Whereupon the Council appointed a solemn Meeting to be upon the first of March at Sterling, for the examining of Things, that they might send their Advice to Court. When the first of March came, the Lord Chancellor sent his Excuse, the rest of the Bishops declined to come, except Bishop Brechin: Nevertheless the Lords of the Council went on, and continued consulting and debating four days together; the issue of which was, to send Sir John Hamilton, the Justice Clerk, to the King with Instructions, to this effect.
'In the first place you are to receive from the Clerk of the Council, all the Acts past since Our meeting upon the 1st of March instant.
'Item, You have to represent to his Majesty, That the Diet of Council was appointed to be solemnly kept, by the Advice of the Lord Chancellor, and Remanant Lords of the Clergy being at Edinburgh for the time, who assured Us, That they should keep the Diet precisely; but at Our meeting at Sterling, We received a Letter of Excuse from the Lord Chancellor, which forces Us to proceed without his Lordships presence, or any others of the Lords of the Clergy, except the Bishop of Brechin, who attended Us three days, but removed before the closing of Our Opinions anent the Business.
Item, 'That immediately after We had resolved to direct you with a Letter of Trust to his Majesty, We did send Our Letter to the Lord Chancellor, acquainting him with Our Proceedings, and desiring him to consider thereof; and if he approved the same, to Sign them, and to cause the Remanant Lords of the Clergy nearest unto him, and namely the Bishop of Brechine, who was an Ear and Eye-Witness to our Consultations, to sign the same, and by their Letter to His Majesty, to signify their Approbation thereof; or if his Lordship did find some other way more convenient for His Majesty's Honour, and the Peace of the Country, that his Lordship-by his Letter to the Lord Treasurer or Privy-Seal, would acquaint them therewith, to the effect they might convene the Council for consulting thereabout.
Item, 'That you shew His Majesty, That His Majesty's Councils, all in one Voice, find, That the Causes of the general Combustions in the Country, are the Fears apprehended of Innovation of Religion and Discipline of the Kirk, (established by the Laws of the Kingdom) by occasion of the Service-Book, Book of Canons, and High-Commission, and from the Introduction thereof, contrary to, or without Warrant of the Laws of the Kingdom.
Item, 'You are to present to His Majesty, Our humble Opinion, that seeing, and as We conceive the Service-Book, Book of Canons and High-Commission (as it is set down) are the occasion of this Combustion; and that the Subjects offer themselves upon peril of their Lives, to clear, That the said Service-Book, and others aforesaid, contain divers Points contrary to the Religion presently processed, and Laws of the Kingdom, in matter and manner of Introduction, that the Lords think it expedient that it be represented to his Majesty's gracious Consideration, if His Majesty may be pleased to declare, as an Act of His singular Justice, That He will take Trial of His Subjects Grievances, and the Reasons thereof, in his own Time, and in His own Way, according to the Laws of this Kingdom; and that His Majesty may be pleased graciously to declare, That in the mean time he will not press nor urge His Subjects therewith, notwithstanding any Act of Warrant made in the contrary.
'And in case his Majesty shall be graciously pleased to approve of our humble Opinions, you are thereafter to present to his Majesty's gracious and wise Consideration, if it shall not be sitting to consult his Majesty's Council, or some such of them as he shall be pleased to call to himself, or allow to be sent from the Table, both about the Time and way of doing it.
'And if his Majesty (as God forbid) shall dislike of what we have conceived most conducing to his Majesty's Service, and Peace of the Kingdom, you are to urge, by all teh Arguments you can, That his Majesty do not determine upon any other Course, until some at least of his Council from this, be heard to give the Reasons of their Opinions: And in this case you are likewise to present to his Majesty's Consideration, if it shall not be sitting and necessary to call for his Informers, together with some of his Council, that in his own presence he may hear the Reasons of both informations fully debated.
'You shall likewise shew his Majesty, That this Council having taken to their Consideration what further was to be done for composing and setling of the present Combustion within that Kingdom, and dissipating of the Convocations and Gatherings within the same, seeing Proclamations are already made and published, discharging all such Convocations and unlawful Meetings; the Lords after debating, find they can do no further than is already done herein, until his Majesty's Pleasure be returned to this our humble Remonstrance.
Signed,
These Instructions being transmitted to the Lords of the Clergy, were returned signed as follows.
These Instructions were seconded by a private Letter to the King signed by Traquair and Roxborough, to the effect following.
Most Sacred Soveraign,Although the miserable Estate of this poor Kingdom, will be sufficiently under stood by your Majesty from this Gentleman Sir John Hamilton's Relation; yet we conceive our selves ina special manner bound and obliged to represent what we conceive does so nearly concern your Majesty's Honour and Service; and therefore give us leave truly and faithfully to tell your Majesty, That since the last Proclamation, the fear of Innovation fo Religion is so apprehended by all sorts of Subjects, from all Corners of this kingdom, that there is nothing to be seen here but a general Combustion, and all men strengthening them selves by subscribing Bands, and by all other means, for refusing of that which they seem so much to fear. This is come to such a height, and daily like to encrease more and more, that we see not a probability of Force or Power within this Kingdom to repress this Fury, except your Majesty may be graciously pleased, by some Act of your own, to secure them of that which they seem so much to apprehend by the inbringing of the Books of Common-Prayer, and Canons.
The way which the Subjects have taken, and daily go about in the prosecution of their Business is inexcusable, and no ways agreeable to the Duty of good Subjects. But your Majesty is wisely to consider what is the best and safest couse for your own Honour, and Peace of your Government: And since Religion is pretended to be the Cause of all, if it shall not be a safe Course to free them at this time from Fears, by which means the wiser sort will be satisfied, and so your Majesty enabled, with less pain or trouble, to overtake the Insolencies of any who shall be found to have kicked against Authority.
We are the rather moved at this time be of this Opinion, That having found it the Opinion, not only of those to whom your Majesty wrote in particular, (except of the Marquess of Huntley, who as yet is not come from the North) but of most of the Noblemen, and Men of respect within this Kindgom. We find few or none well satisfied with the Business, or to whom we dare advise your Majesty to trust in the prosecution thereof; and if any have or shall inform your Majesty to the contrary, give us leave humbly to intreat your Majesty to be pleased to call them before your Self, that in our presence you may hear the Reasons of both Informations fully debated.
So praying God to grant your Majesty many happy days, and full contentment in all your Roial Designs, we humbly take our leave, and rest,
Your Majesty's humble Servants,and faithful Subjects,Traquaire,Roxborough.
Sterling, March 5. 1638.
There was also a publick Letter written by the Council to the Marquess, dated at Sterling the 5th of March, sent by Sir John Hamilton, informing the Marquets, 'That they did find the Subjects Fears and 'Stirs to increase since the last Proclamation, and appointed the Council to meet then to consult upon the growth of publick Evils, and
Remedies thereof. After the Council had spent four days in advising, they resolved to send Sir John Hamilton, one of their number, with a Letter from them to his Majesty, to whom they have imparted their Opinions and Reasons of the same Publick Ills, and Remedies of the same, to be represented to his Sacred Majesty, because the Business is so weighty and important, that in their Opinion the Peace of the Country was never in so great hazard; they have thought fit to recommend the Business to your Lordships consideration.
Signed by the same Privy-Councellors, whose Hands were to Sir John Hamilton 's Instructions.
After Sir John Hamilton 's arrival at the Court at Whitehall, and having presented to his Majesty what was committed to his trust and care, his Majesty consulted with his Inward Council, as to the Scottish Affairs, and resolved to send Marquess Hamilton as High-Commissioner to Scotland for that Service, hoping by such an Authority to quiet the Fury of the People; and Sir John Hamilton was immediately dispatched again to Scotland, to give notice of the King's Resolution, and that his Majesty's Pleasure should be further known when his High-Commissioner came down.
The Covenanters not long after the Lord Justice Clerk his arrival at Court, made their Application to the Scotish Lords then at Court, complaining of the Privy-Council for harsh usage; and withal sent up their Grievances, signed by Rothes, Cassils, Montrose, to the effect following.

Tell Abu Shahrain (Eridu)
Visited 11.00-13.07, 5 June, 2008
The seven mounds of Eridu lie about 24 km south-west of Ur.
Excavations were conducted by a number of early explorers (J. E. Taylor 1855; R. Campbell Thompson 1918; H. R. Hall 1919) with a major investigation led by Fuad Safar between 1946 and 1949 on behalf of the Iraqi Directorate General of Antiquities.
J. E. Taylor, “Notes on Abu Shahrein and Tell el Lahm”, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society 15 (1855), pp. 404-15; J. Oates, “Ur and Eridu: The Prehistory”, Iraq 22 (1960), pp. 32-50; S. Lloyd, “Abu Shahrein: A Memorandum”, Iraq 36 (1974), pp. 129-38; F. Safar, M. A. Mustafa and S. Lloyd, Eridu (Baghdad 1981).
In Sumerian literature Eridu is claimed as one of the most ancient cities in Mesopotamia, said to antedate the mythical Flood and to be the first city to hold kingship. Eighteen successive levels of mud brick temple architecture, dating from the Early Ubaid to the Late Uruk periods, were exposed during the 1940s excavations on Mound 1; the painted pottery recovered provided the basis for the fourfold division of the Ubaid period. An extensive Ubaid period cemetery was also excavated. The remains of a ziggurat of the Ur III period dominate the centre of the mound. Early Dynastic palaces were excavated on mound 2.
The helicopter landed to the north-east of Mound 1. The visit began at a watchtower presumed to have been erected by the Italians in late 2003. The team climbed to the top of the mound; there is evidence of erosion across the site, especially in two deep gulleys which has revealed inscribed bricks. The inspection proceeded to the remains of the dig-house located on the eastern side of the mound. The lower walls of the dig-house, built from ancient baked bricks, could be traced although no examples of inscribed bricks, visible within the structure in 2003, could be seen. Related to these findings is the report, made by Professor Stefano Seminaria, at an event in the Italian Cultural Institute in London on 29 March 2006 announcing the inauguration of the Baghdad Virtual Museum. He related that, on 20 or 21 March 2006, Professor Giovanni Pettinato and Professor Silvia Chiodi had discovered at Eridu a tablet covered with bitumen. They had looked further and found 500 tablets “disturbed by an explosion”. The tablets were said to be literary, historical and lexical. The historical tablets dated from the time of Eannatum, and the latest tablets were from the time of Amar-Suen. This information, or variations of it, was also circulated on various Italian and international websites. Following these revelations, Dr Donny George, then Chairman of the State Board of Antiquities and Heritage, sent inspectors to Eridu, who reported back that there were no tablets on the surface of the site, but only fragments of stamped bricks from the site of Eridu itself and from sites surrounding Eridu such as Ur. On 19 July 2006, at the 52ène Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale in Münster, Professor Pettinato reported that he had actually only found some 70 stamped bricks at Eridu. It seems, then, that what Pettinato and Chiodi actually found were stamped bricks used to build the modern Eridu dig-house 1.
There is no evidence of looting or of recent visits to the site – car tracks were visible near a neighbouring canal and the site fence, which was not visited; from the air, it was possible to see the posts of the fence. Surface scraping close to the fence is presumably the result of field irrigation. Two site guards, who were not present during the inspection, are based at a village some distance from the mound.

In his memoirs (The Interval – A Life in Near eastern Archaeology, Oxford 1986, p. 113), Seton Lloyd wrote of “the almost total lack of building material” for “setting up base” at Eridu. “To solve this we [Lloyd and Safar] felt justified in looting the ruins of Woolley’s old expedition-house at Ur, ten miles away, and bringing in lorry-loads of baked bricks – many of them stamped with royal names, but beautifully intact”.

If you have been in this space for a while, you already know that moms are pretty influential online. It’s one reason why organizations like BlogHer, Social Moms and Clever Girls Collective have become very popular and widely used by fairly large brands. Here is further evidence.
According to a social media study sponsored by Performics of nearly 3,000 participants, moms are more versatile, more present, more active and more engaged users of social networking sites, than other women. Social networking and connecting with other women online rage among Moms. They use it to share their thoughts, experiences and feelings, ask for advice from other moms, look for deals and coupons, research products, communicate with brands and shop.
Here are some key findings, some of which really surprised me:
- Moms are approximately 61% more likely to own a smartphone than other women.
- They are more likely to be active on social networking sites, for example, they are 16% more likely to visit Facebook daily and 46% more likely to visit Google + daily.
- Moms are 75% more likely to trust information they receive from companies through social networking sites than other women.
Moms are also 45% more likely to make a purchase as a result of a recommendation on a social media site than other women which doesn’t surprise me much. They are broken down by vertical:
- Apparel: Moms are 54% more likely to make an apparel purchase
- Automobile: Moms are 64% more likely to make an automobile purchase
- Travel: Moms are 46% more likely to make a travel purchase
The data also shows that moms actively champion their favorite companies and brands on social media. These “mombassadors” are more likely than other women to:
- Recommend companies/brands via social sites (34%)
- Discuss companies/brands on social sites after seeing an ad elsewhere (48%)
- Talk about companies/brands they follow on Facebook (24%)
- Link to a company/brand ad (23%)
- Post interesting or relevant content about a company/brand (50%)

How Proud They Must BeBy now we are all sickeningly familiar with the story of the Brookfield East football field.
How proud the vandals must be, accomplishers of a tremendous feat that required the cloak of darkness to achieve.
How gleeful they must be as they boastfully recount their exploits.
How devastating the impact on the Spartan community.To paraphrase Winston Churchill – never have so few ruined so much for so many. One or a few punks really showed us what they are made of, didn’t they? I say “punks” fully acknowledging that we don’t know who did this, or what their age is. But be they students or adults, be they younger or older, they are most certainly punks.
Let’s call this action what it so clearly is: cowardly, malicious, and criminal. Let’s let the retribution fit the crime if we are fortunate enough to find out who did it.
A Brookfield Treasure
When was the last time you visited the gravesite of a Revolutionary War Veteran? Or walked amongst the resting place of several Civil War Veterans?
On Memorial Day my family and I did this.
We did not travel to Massachusetts or New York; we drove about four miles from our home to Oak Hill Cemetery, right here in Brookfield.
Located on Brookfield Road and immediately adjacent to Brookfield Academy, this beautiful piece of land and history lies in the heart of our own community. Buried there are the remains of Nathan Hatch, a man who served America in the Revolutionary War.
Do you want a giant does of perspective in just a few minutes? Then take a half-hour this fall to walk under the trees of Oak Hill, and to gaze at the headstones bearing 18th Century dates and names. Go back over two hundred years to the lives these people led and the times in which they lived.
Let’s respect this Brookfield treasure in the best way we can.
By visiting it..."
