North Moreton

The medieval manor of North Moreton is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The manor house, where the Stapleton family lived was situated East of the church but can now only be identified by the remains of a moat. North Moreton retains many houses from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, despite the devastating fire in 1807 which destroyed one quarter of the village including one whole side of the main village street.

North Moreton has always been a village existing solely within Berkshire boundaries until 1974 a year which saw comprehensive reorganisation of local government in England and Wales. An indication as to how deeply North Moreton was embedded within Berkshire is indicated by the fact that Abingdon was the county town of Berkshire until 1867. Reading only became the new county town in that year taking over from Abingdon which remained part of the county until 1974. On this date several of the historic counties disappeared, new counties were created and all had significant boundary changes. North Moreton was swallowed up within Oxfordshire and despite losing the title of being within the 'Royal' county of Berkshire it is probably safer for the village to be within Oxfordshire.

"The first record of North Moreton is in the year 944 and it is one of many villages in historic Berkshire whose name ends with ton meaning a ` homestead'. The mor signifies, simply, a fen. With the arrival of the Normans in 1066 there came in due course Norman rule and a Norman church. North Moreton seldom had a resident lord of the manor though influential families such as the Stapletons played an important role over three centuries. The Stapletons largely rebuilt the church in the thirteenth century, endowing Stapleton’s Chantry with some unique glass from the period." The subsequent centuries have not been without their high and low points. "At the very end of the sixteenth century there was a ‘cause celebre’ in the famous witch-craft case bringing North Moreton to the national stage and leading to the allegedly-bewitched Anne Gunter going before the Court of Star Chamber and before King James I himself. An unusual feature of the Cromwellian period was the high number of marriages performed in All Saints church probably attributable to the lords of the manor being relations of Oliver Cromwell. North Moreton became acceptable for church weddings even when nationally they were forbidden.

Village life for centuries produced its even tenor of the rotation of crops and the struggle for existence - North Moreton was never a rich village as the lack of any monuments in the church testifies. But change in many directions came in the last one hundred and fifty years. The Enclosure Award (late- in 1849 ) stablilised the economy of the village. The growth of Didcot and the development of railways gave employment and a new vicar, Albert Barff brought fresh vigor to the community.

The village paid its debt to the nation in two World Wars and the later twentieth century has seen a change in population with many professional people making their way to London daily as commuters. But, in the end, the sounds of sheep bleating, combine harvesters at harvest time and of tractors down the High Street, remain evocative of a North Moreton whose eternal roots are in the soil."

Grace in Kashmir Shaivism

The concept of grace ‘’anugraha’’ in Kashmir Shaivism is unique in comparison with other systems of both western and Indian philosophy. Where as the showering of grace in other systems is dependent either wholly or partly upon individual effort, in Kashmir Shaivism it is solely dependent upon the free and independent will ‘’svatantrya’’ of God – ‘’Paramashiva’’ (supreme Shiva) also known as ‘’Para Bhairava’’ (supreme ‘’Bhairava’’).

Grace and the Individual

For the followers of Kashmir Shaivism, adhering to the monistic philosophy that God and only God exist, the idea that God should be subservient to the actions of an individual makes no sense. It is God alone who has expanded his own nature, in the form of a pulsating vibrating mass of light and consciousness (‘’prakasa’’ and ‘’vimarsha’’), and in doing so, it is God alone who has created the entire universe including the totality of individual beings that inhabit the myriad of worlds. In other words, it is God who has contracted his "unbounded universal Self" and become a "limited individual self" bound by space and time.

But the question must arise, "Why should God create the universe when he is already eternally full and complete in his own nature?"

The answer to this perplexing question, from the Kashmir Shaiva point of view is: "For the sake of play!"

For the sake of PLAY God loses himself in his own creation, for the sole purpose of eventually finding himself again, and experiencing his own true nature. It is within this play that God (Lord Shiva) expresses himself through his five great acts.

Swami Lakshman Joo, practically the last living exponent of the oral tradition of Kashmir Shaivism has explained this as follows:

The Positively Testcard

First featured on Andy Kershaw, "The Indestructible Sound of South Norwood" have made a genuine and very commendable attempt to collect a very distinctive mode of playing the penny whistle (see also flageolet).

I first heard Lemmy Mabuso (aka Lemmy Special) on my mother's old Jeremy Taylor records, a jaunty yet somehow melancholy sound, quite unlike the cheerful notes of James Galway. That feeling was entirely captured as "Kwela Claude" came over the airwaves courtesy of Mr Kershaw.

South African record sites have occasional CDs of the bigger Kwela stars, but the Positibely Testcard go one further, making up their own, and playing old standards in a Kwela style.

Supposedly derived from the Zulu shout for "get up" (i.e. get up and dance). Highly recommended.

Sinful magic trick by Wayne Houchin

Below submitted by David.

Sinful is a Magic trick designed by Wayne Houchin, www.waynehouchin.com .

Effect: A borrowed quarter and soda can of any flavour is borrowed from any member of the audience or brought from home. The quarter can then be signed and examined to establish that there can be no switches involved and the same goes with the can. The magician then tells the audience that every can has a soft spot in it, and if you find it, you can penetrate it with any small object, about the size of a quarter, through it without leaving any holes. The magician then INSTANTLY show BOTH of his hands to be empty and then shows every bit of the can to the spectators, the bottom through which the coin went through has no holes in it, nor does any other part of the can. The magician then approaches an audience member and shakes the can, everyone within earshot can hear the quarter hitting the can from the INSIDE. The magician then opens up the can and pours everything out (onto the ground or into a cup, even the spectator can be allowed to pour it out) and when the can is empty you can hear something moving inside. The spectator and the magician the shakes the can, or cuts it open and inside you can see the SIGNED quarter, completely untampered or fooled around with. The trick has no gimmicks and no preperation what-so-ever and everything is completely examinable.


You can see Wayne performing this trick on his website www.waynehouchin.com in the videos section along with a few more of his amazing videos. He has also released Stigmata and is working on releasing Indescent; He also has a few more ticks on his site that he has not released (Thread) and Unreal is actually what he uses for one of his shows.

A note to all magicians out there who know or think they know the secret (Please do NOT delete): Remember that I have posted the effect and not the secret; Which is a reminder for you to follow suite, do not post the secret. You are only taking away from others if you do. Magic is supposed to remain magical, if you post the secret and somebody comes home from seeing a magic show and can find everything about it on here; You have just taken away that little spark that they had in their eyes during the show from the mystery of it all and at first they feel good that they know the secret, but they would feel even better by thinking about it and coming up with no explanation. That is what makes magic wonderful, please do not spoil it.

HomeBake

Description

Homebake is a slang name of monoacetyl morphine in New Zealand and Australia. In Australia most manufature was limited to Western Austrailia. Homebake can be manufactured from over-the-counter and prescription painkillers and was popular in the late 1970s to 1980s due to the crackdown of the Herion supply in this time period. Clandestine drug laboratories established to homebake heroin have existed in New Zealand since the 1980s1

Manufacture

The “homebake” process involves use of the reagent pyridine hydrochloride to convert the codeine to morphine by removing the methyl- group. The brown morphine powder produced by this process is in the form of crude morphine base. This is generally reacted with acetic anhydride to give a brown or black tarry residue which contains a mixture of heroin, 3- and 6-monoacetylmorphines, morphine and other impurities.2

Springfield Catholic Central

Springfield Catholic Central is located in the once bustling city of Springfield, Ohio. While the majority of those who attend Springfield Catholic Central (SCC) are Catholic by faith, the strict, regimented lifestyles typically associated with Catholics is not present; in fact, little punishment/regulation is distributed. The average total population as of 2006 is two-hundred.

The principal is Jeanne Kuney. She came in 2005 after teaching at Fairborn where scandle was high and money was tight. Although SCC's debt is much greater than Fairborn's (totalling at about $1,000,000 as of 2006), this did not deter Jeanne Kuney from taking on the task of turning the school around. Teaming up with the "Irish Mafia" as Jim O'Dell refered to the supervising group including himself, Millie Vollmer, Steve DeWitt, Wilma Somers, and Jeanne Kuney, together under the premise of a Catholic Institution managed to go through an astounding number of faculty before arriving at the current staff. Only two years after Jeanne Juney's move to SCC, the school has produced more students with criminal activity and lower standardized testing scores and higher alcohol consumption rates than any other previous year.
