Hey, folks! I'm Trash, a fellow mage, and every Friday afternoon I'll be here at The Weekend Wizard Inn to help get the conversation started. Join in down in the comment section and let everybody know what's on your gaming agenda this weekend!
I know I'm nearing the end of The Caligula Effect Overdose, so my primary goal this weekend is to try and finish it up so I can get my review drafted and jump into something new.
I still have many of the same complaints I did last weekend, but I've warmed up to the cast, their connections, and still think the soundtrack is full of great dungeon themes.
The next review from me will be one of these two, but I'm not sure which. I received them both at the same time and they're both RPGs.
Despite its name, Sword & Fairy 6 is the eighth installment in The Legend of Sword and Fairy series of Chinese role-playing games by Softstar Entertainment. However, it's the first to be released in English on home consoles. I'm not quite sure what to expect, but the general consensus seems to be that it has good characters and storytelling but doesn't run very well and feels incredibly dated. As long as the story is good, though, I'm happy to play through it.
Based on the press information I received, the game centers around these nine magical fountains that nourished the world and how they disappeared after a big war. That's… really all I have to go on, though, so here's a trailer to show it in action.
Moero Chronicle Hyper is a definitive edition-style Nintendo Switch release of the original Moero Chronicle on the PlayStation Vita. It's a dungeon crawler RPG (DRPG) where you control a socially awkward protagonist who adventures across the world of Monstopia where humans reside on the opposite side of the continent away from the monster girls. There are six kingdoms ruled by their own monster girl, similar to the way Compile Heart's Neptunia series works. Both games are developed by Compile Heart anyway.
Being an Idea Factory/Compile Heart JRPG, I expect plenty of clever writing, great characters, and loads of fanservice. That's kind of their jam. DRPGs aren't usually my thing, though, but there have been a few that I've clung to.
What about you, folks? Any big plans this weekend?
Trash is the Middle-aged Horror Mage and a self-proclaimed JRPG and horror game junkie. He can be brutally murdered in Puppet Combo's '80s-inspired slasher game 'Christmas Massacre' as an NPC and always urges you to support indie horror. Follow him on Twitter @Trashlevania for exploding head memes, pics of his three fur babies, and Japanese wrestling nonsense.
I've been slowly but surely chipping away at Sekiro. Game is amazing but honestly a bit exhausting after more than 30 minutes or so.
Oh lawdy, had to tweak some stuff. Some ghost site just haunted this comment thread.
Haha, I was like… wha-what?
Yeah, it's like like Souls or Bloodborne where I see people binging 8 hours at a time, but smaller doses when they get stuck on bosses.
Wifey and I just reached the final disc in FFIX so I am looking forward to finishing that up and snagging a Gold Chocobo along the way. Then we're tackling FFVII! I also look forward to playing Cuphead on Switch, though not this weekend of course.
I'm also playing Raiden Trad on SNES right now, which is a fun shmup in short bursts.
When is the last time you played through IX and VII? Just wondering what you think of them nowadays with all that time distance put between you.
I couldn't get into Cuphead on Xbox One but I think if I *could* get into it a little more that the Switch port would be the one. I'm more open to hard games like Celeste when I can play them on the go in short bursts and Cuphead sems like a perfect fit.
I played through IX within the decade to completion, so this will be my last playthrough a third time for a while. VII I've played through and beaten so many times. The visuals (especially as the first of the PS1 FF trilogy) are ridiculous now, but the battles are still engaging for me and the story is complex enough that I forget elements of it every time, thanks in small part to cut segments from the narrative that somehow heighten its mystery and ambiguity without destroying it entirely. I'd say I played through VII roundabout 2010 and IX roundabout 2015? They're evergreen titles for me I revisit that remind me why I play video games.
VII still has some incredible atmosphere thanks to the pre-rendered backdrops and soundtrack. I know having plot holes isn't a feature, but it really does create a mystery than fans have been piecing together ever since.
Yeah it's kind of a weird thing with the plot holes. Normally, cutting dramatically and leaving behind holes like that ruins a story, seems like. VII is one of the instances where they get away with it somehow. Makes me think that it's un-replicatable, identically.
Reached the last dungeon in IX and I really forgot so much of the end of the game and the bits of character development there. It still does spiral out of control with a lot of its heady sci-fi stuff out of nowhere, especially considering the warmer, nearer fantasy stuff at the beginning, but I like where the characters are heading and I identified a lot more with both Zidane and Dagger this time around.
I forgot to add, the PS1 trilogy FF I REALLY need to replay is VIII. I have the discs and was going to start it but haven't yet. A remake with the added speed and no battle features would be welcome!
Those features are on the Steam version, I think. There's also a mod that fixes the music issues and whatnot.
Yeah and they are features they added to the IX and VII Switch re-releases, too. Not sure exactly what's on VII but on IX, you've got the ability to max out gil and levels, fast forward, skip battles, and do 9999 damage. It's great for just enjoying the story itself!
7 has the fast-forward stuff, health regen, infinite limit breaks, and you can turn off random encounters.
Infinite Limit Breaks, eh? I'll look forward to abusing that quite a bit. Turning off random encounters really makes revisiting RPGs I've played several times before more palatable. But mostly, I'm just enjoying seeing my wifey get into the story for herself, and reliving it for the first time through her eyes.
Infinite Limits helps unlock them faster too, which is nice. And makes some of the more annoying bits, like getting Omnislash at the Saucer, easier to swallow.
Think I'll be trying to finish Danganronpa AE if I have enough time. It's…odd.
Yeahhhh, having the spin-off take a 3rd person shooter route was an… interesting choice.
Story's still interesting at least. And I like the puzzle rooms in spite of the physics being a bit wonky at times.


Aquatic Therapy is a unique form of rehabilitation administered in a pool. Patient issues such as joint replacement, arthritis, non-weight bearing, balance enhancement, lymphodema, strengthening, and range of motion exercises can all be addressed.
Warm water facilitates muscle relaxation and increases peripheral circulation. Viscosity of water provides resistance for strength training. Warm water stimulates body awareness, balance, and trunk stability. Hydrostatic pressure is a wonderful benefit of aquatic therapy. Hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted on the immersed body by fluid molecules.
Performing physical rehabilitation and exercise in water utilizes several principles and has a number of benefits that will speed recovery, boost your muscle performance, and help to reduce acute and chronic pain.

Latest in "Drifting apart: where to for Europe and Britain?"
Can the EU afford to lose the UK?
In her book Statecraft, published in 2002, Lady Thatcher wrote, "The blunt truth is that the rest of the European Union needs us more than we need them." We may soon learn how true Maggie's words are.
The European election is the last major political set piece event in the UK before Scotland votes on its constitutional future. Who wins that vote could have a profound impact on the country.
As long as the British debate about the EU is framed only in terms of the "national interest", a meaningful and nuanced discussion will be impossible. Stop using the term, "national interest".
The insistence by the British commentariat on seeing Greece through the eyes of their own need for Eurozone breakdown is part of British pathology about Europe.
We catch up with Green MEP Jean Lambert to talk about the work of the European Parliament, 'co-decision', UK media, the youth vote and the 2014 Euro-elections.
We invite UKIP MEP Gerard Batten to discuss European governance, UK media, the 2014 European elections and the challenges of representing eight million constituents at the European Parliament.
The war of words over Europe in Britain cannot be called 'debate'. A former Europe minister examines two serious and opposite thinkers on Europe, and asks whether their arguments could have impact in Britain.
How would an exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union shape the future relationship between the Republic of Ireland and the UK?
Scotland's place in the Union, Britain's place in the EU. Two referenda are on the horizon, but the debates around each are strangely divorced from each other.
Debate: Britain and the EU – Is the UK leading the way or running away?
Watch the debate with Graham Watson MEP (ALDE Group Leader) and Martin Callanan MEP (ECR Group Leader), moderated by Peter O'Donnell, covering many of the key issues for debate. What would Britain actually lose?
Nigel Lawson's provocations on the EU question raise some important points. It is no longer tenable to trot out the same tired arguments for the Union. It has very serious failings. A positive account of the UK's membership must address them head on.
If not the EU, who will Britain blame for its democratic deficit?
Debating the 'in-or-out' question is only a smokescreen hiding the elephant in the room: the state of national democracy.
Don't look to Norway, Mr Cameron!
Many in Britain now suggest taking Norway as an inspiration for successful life outside the EU – but is the country's relationship with the EU really an example to follow?
Britain is at a fork in the road with a choice to make about what role it will play in the 21st century. Yet, David Cameron's long-awaited speech about Europe is a miscalculation that will leave everyone frustrated.

It's usually a "chilly" fundraising event, but with today's high of 13°C, it may be a nice leisurely soak for 48 University of Manitoba students.
The Asper School of Business students will be "Chillin' for Charity" to raise funds for the United Way of Winnipeg at 11 a.m.
Students will take turns plunging into a pool of icy water at the Quad, adjacent to the Administration Building on the U of M's Fort Garry campus.
The students are members of "Team Toba," the team competing in an undergraduate business student competition called Jeux de Commerce (JDC) West. Each year, JDC West teams across Western Canada host their own Chillin' for Charity event.
The goal this year is to raise $20,000 for the United Way.

The geology of Angola includes large areas of Precambrian age rocks. The west of the country is characterized by meta-sedimentary rocks of Proterozoic age including tillites assigned to the Bembe System. Overlying these are a thick pile of limestones and other marine sediments laid down during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.  Amidst the Proterozoic sequence are areas of crystalline basement dating from the Archaean. More Archaean basement rocks form the Kasai Craton in northeastern Angola. In the north, within the Cassanje Graben are clastic sediments and volcanic rocks of the Karoo Supergroup. Kimberlites and carbonatites resulting from magmatic activity during the Karoo period are found along a northeast-southwest line through the country. Continental sediments of the Kalahari Group are widespread in eastern Angola.

Fossils
The Mesozoic of Angola is very rich of fossil vertebrates, namely marine reptiles such as turtles (Angolachelys), mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, related with the opening of South Atlantic. Only a couple of terrestrial fossils have been collected, including the unique dinosaur Angolatitan adamastor.

Geohazards

Aquifers and ground water have been polluted due mining activities in the country.

Economic geology
The larger part of Angola's income derives from oil production and by 2008 the country was Africa's second largest producer of crude petroleum. Angola is also the fourth largest producer of diamonds in Africa. Diamonds are obtained both from alluvial deposits and from the hundreds of kimberlite pipes which are scattered along a northeast – southwest line through Angola. The country is also a gold producer, the most important source being alluvium originating from Archaean greenstones dominantly around Cabinda. Angola also has, as yet largely untapped, copper, gypsum, phosphate, iron ore, manganese and other base metal reserves.

Q: Why the program not terminated on signal value change? I have a simple program using signal with the user's handlers.
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <zconf.h>

int x = 0;
int i = 3;

void catcher3(int signum) {
    i = 1;
}

void catcher2(int signum) {

    // Stuck in infinity loop here.
    // Happens even with i == 0
    if (i != 0) {
        x = 5;
    }
}

void catcher1(int signum) {
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
    i--;
    if (i == 0) {
        signal(SIGFPE, catcher2);
        signal(SIGTERM, catcher3);
    }
}

int main() {
    signal(SIGFPE, catcher1);
    x = 10 / x;
    printf("Goodbye");
}

While I expect it to print:
3
2
1
Goodbye

It actually prints:
3
2
1
# Infinity loop within catcher2

My questions are:

*

*On running a user handler like catcher1, to which point the code returns after the handler's execution? I would expect it continue the execution but it re-runs the signal handler.

*What causes the infinity loop?

*How to fix it?

*Why sending SIGTERM won't print "Goodbye"? (kill -s TERM <pid>)

A: As pointed out by AProgrammer, the program doesn't necessarily read x after returning from the handler, even if x is marked volatile (which it should be anyway). This is because the execution continues to the offending instruction. The read from memory and the actual division could be separate instructions.
To get around this you will have to continue the execution to a point before x was read from memory.
You can modify your program as follows -
#include <csetjmp>

jmp_buf fpe;

volatile int x = 0; // Notice the volatile
volatile int i = 3;

void catcher2(int signum) {
    if (i != 0) {
        x = 5;
        longjump(fpe, 1);
    }
}

int main() {
    signal(SIGFPE, catcher1);
    setjump(fpe);
    x = 10 / x;
    printf("Goodbye");
}

Rest of the functions can remain the same.
You should also not be using printf from the signal handler. Instead use write directly to print debug messages as -
write(1, "SIGNAL\n", sizeof("SIGNAL\n"));

A: The handling of signals is complex and full of implementation defined, unspecified and undefined behavior.  If you want to be portable, there is in fact very few things that you can do.  Mostly reading and writing volatile sig_atomic_t and calling _Exit.  Depending on the signal number, it is often undefined if you leave the signal handler in another way than calling _Exit.
In your case, I think FPE is one of those signals for which leaving normally the signal handler is UB.  The best I can see is restarting the machine instruction which triggered the signal.  Few architectures, and last I looked x86 was not one of them, provide a way to do 10/x without loading x in a register; that means that restarting the instruction will always restart the signal, even if you modify x and x us a volatile sig_atomtic_t.
Usually longjmp is also able to leave signal handler.  @Bodo confirmed that using setjmp and longjmp to restart the division, you can get the behavior you want.

Note: on Unix there is another set of functions, sigaction, siglongjump and others, which is better to use.  In fact I don't recommend using something else in any serious program.

Llama drama pair to cheer on camel cousins
Turf Paradise is holding a special event this weekend; camel and ostrich races. Guess who will be on the sidelines, cheering on their camel cousins?
The two escaped artists who caused the "Llama Drama" in Sun City last month.
Kahkneeta and Laney spent Friday morning in the sun, gazing at the beautiful terrain. They seemed to have a calm about them, a very different demeanor than the first time FOX 10 met the two.
"It was a very traumatic day, and I was really embarrassed that they got loose," said Karen Fruend.
Freund said it started out as an ordinary day; they took the llamas to Sun City to visit a friend, a former handler himself to walk the llamas around his retirement community and to visit with residents.
"Everything was great, we put the llamas away and then some of his friends showed up late and wanted to see the llamas," said Fruend.
"My husband took Kaneta, the white one out and handed it to our friend, and as he was holding her something spooked her, and she stepped back and knocked him off balance, and he went to the ground and she started to drag him," she said.
The back of the trailer was unlocked, and Laney followed suit, the llama drama unfolded for all the world to see.
"By the time I had gotten home, I found out it had gone global," said Fruend.
Now that things have settled down, the llamas will be making an appearance at Turf Paradise at the camel and ostrich races. They won't be running this time, even though most fans would bet the llamas would win.
The llamas will be at Turf Paradise from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Last year more than 7,000 fans came to the Phoenix racetrack to watch the camel and ostrich races.

The broken parts of me are triggered by just about anything: the observation of a friend's practical replacement home windows, a co-worker's use of a Shout stain-removing wipe, or watching someone toast bread in the employee break room.
Recently, in the community kitchen at my office, a woman was toasting bread to make herself a sandwich for lunch. My observation of the woman and the realization that she was toasting bread for a sandwich triggered my messed-up self. Old sad feelings flooded my chest. My heart felt a little heavy. Why in the world would toast stir up feelings, you ask?
Well, it's the self-care. Going to the trouble of making toast for a sandwich represents to me self-care. Occasionally, when I witness someone doing something which I perceive to be a demonstration of self care, I am reminded that I come from a family who is painfully short on knowing how to do this "self-care" thing. We are always much better at functioning in chaos and "getting by" than we are at self-care.
Those of us who grew up in toxic environments have a tendency to thrive in chaos. My role models took Ibuprofen for tooth pain instead of seeing a dentist to fix the problem. They carried around rolls of toilet paper for runny noses instead of Kleenex. I will never again be a child and have the opportunity to view healthy role models. That is gone. The sad feelings brought on by toast stem from an ancient longing for a mother who takes proper care of herself.
I realize that one of the reasons my mother did not take very good care of herself is because she was busy taking care of other people. I know this is a fairly common situation with mothers. My mother was at least slightly worse, but probably much worse, at the important job of self-care than other mothers. As a child, I always wanted her to get a manicure or hang out with friends or care about the clothes she wore. I wanted a washer and dryer at home instead of an expensive couch. The thought of old meatloaf under her unkempt fingernails was scary to me. I think we can all understand how a child wants her mother to be happy and behave in appropriate ways.
Although she was never diagnosed by a doctor as depressed, I feel sure she was. And the reason she was never diagnosed by a doctor is because the last time I recall her going to see a doctor was in 1970 (at least before she passed away in 2014). The last six months of her life were spent in many offices of doctors.
The self-care ache in my heart is two-fold. First, it's an ache for my mother. I wanted her to be "okay." I wanted her to value herself enough to take care of herself. I wanted her to value herself at least as much as she valued my dad, my aunt, my children, and me. She always ended up on the back burner. I wanted her to spend a little bit of money on herself every now and then. There were lots of times I would come to visit and her kitchen sink would need a good cleaning, so I would look for cleaning products and find none. She just never had the things other mothers had. Every time I see a grandmother wearing lipstick and nail polish, my heart hurts a little.
The second fold of this ache is an ache for myself because I had no healthy role model for this – no training as to how to value myself and provide good self-care. The person I looked up to was broken. There are lots of ways I neglected to take care of myself over the years: choosing toxic friendships and romances; believing my inner critic; "getting by" with worn-out undergarments or socks with holes; drinking myself crazy; and not making myself toasted sandwiches.
Several months ago in the lunch room at work, I walked in to heat up my Lean Cuisine, and I watched a woman open up several square plastic containers filled with various salad toppings for her lunch. So much trouble! She opened the container of lettuce and added diced red peppers, shredded carrots and cheese. She drizzled dressing on top of it. Even the salad dressing was in a cute green plastic container. She snapped the plastic lid on the container of salad and shook it while she glanced casually at the newspaper lying nearby. My broken self was stunned by my own feelings; feelings that seemed to come out of nowhere. Feelings of sadness and grief for something I will never have. Part of the trigger was related to the ease with which the woman had taken such good care of herself. She assembled her healthy lunch and did so while casually reading the newspaper. She had obviously been raised by someone who had taught her how to properly care for herself.
The triggers don't happen very often. I've done a lot of work to learn some skills for being my own loving parent. However, there are times when I yearn to be the daughter of one of those women who owns Tupperware and crock pots and savings accounts; a person who plans things like pregnancy and what to wear to work each day. The kicker is that I probably look like one of these "together" people I'm describing. I'm better than I used to be, but I'm not as good as I want to be. I will not give up.
Sad for you but beautifully written. Avocado under her nails is a gross memory for me. Thank you for becoming a better person despite your childhood. Love you!

Verdict Announced on Death of UK Asbestos Victim
Posted on June 26th, 2009
by Deon Scott in All News, asbestos, asbestos cancer, Asbestos Exposure, mesothelioma, Mesothelioma Legal Issues
A verdict has recently been given over the death of a UK woman who died in April of this year. Following the inquest the coroner recorded a verdict of death by industrial disease. The woman, Victoria Powell, aged sixty four, died after being diagnosed with the asbestos related cancer, mesothelioma.
It was reported that the woman had never worked with asbestos in her life or been near to any asbestos facilities, but had developed the asbestos related cancer as a result of exposure to her father's clothes as a child, as he worked as a maintenance worker for a power station.
Mrs Powell was diagnosed with the cancer in October of last year, and died from the disease in April of this year. Speaking about her father, Mrs Powell's widower stated: "He would bring his clothing home with asbestos on it. Following his death Victoria had kept one of his jackets."
The coroner stated: "Without the industrial exposure of her father bringing asbestos home on his clothes, Victoria Powell would not have died of malignant mesothelioma related to asbestos exposure. Although she herself was not exposed in the workplace, this is related to an industrial disease."

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- If anybody understands an arena's link to a city, to a faithful fan base, Kevin Durant does.
Durant played the final NBA game in KeyArena for the Seattle SuperSonics a decade ago before the franchise's relocation to Oklahoma City, then returned for a nostalgic exhibition earlier this month in the venue's last event. On Tuesday night, he will play an opener against his former Thunder team to begin Golden State's goodbye season at Oracle Arena.
The two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP wants to make sure the Warriors leave more positive memories and defining moments before next year's move to the new Chase Center in San Francisco.
The Warriors' upcoming move is just one of many recent upgrades around the league.
In Milwaukee, the Bucks will try to build momentum in their new downtown Fiserv Forum next door to the old Bradley Center where they spent the past 30 years. The Timberwolves will play in new-look Target Center following a two-year renovation that cost about $140 million and features a complete overhaul of the arena bowl, a glass entryway outside and other amenities such as a modernized team store and concession stands.
The Sacramento Kings begin their third season in sparkling Golden 1 Center.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer was an assistant in San Antonio when the Spurs moved from the Alamodome to a new basketball-only arena in 2002.
In Atlanta, the Hawks will unveil their $192.5 million makeover of State Farm Arena, formerly Philips Arena. The renovation, which overlapped two seasons, is one of the largest in NBA history according to the team. Among the most compelling new features in the arena - where capacity has been slightly reduced to 16,600 - will be the league's third-largest center-hung scoreboard with a rounded, 360-degree video screen.
Golden State's move across San Francisco Bay will be a tough one for many. Fans, players, coaches, even executives, realize how much the Warriors have done for the East Bay in nearly five decades at Oracle. Even through all the down years.
In blue-collar Oakland, Oracle has become one of the most imposing stops for opponents on either coast - a frenzied crowd cheering the talented Warriors makes its presence felt.
That's the motto COO and President Rick Welts is sharing as Golden State, winner of three titles over the past four years, prepares to move into that snazzy, privately funded new arena. Welts hopes fans will stick it out through the transition - realizing full well some might feel abandoned.
From all the losing seasons to the thrilling ''We Believe'' playoffs of 2007 when Baron Davis and the Warriors ended a 12-year postseason drought then stunned the Mavericks in the first round, loyal fans in the East Bay have experienced all the highs right along with the lows.
One of the arena's loudest moments ever was when Davis drove left to the baseline for a powerful one-handed slam over Utah's Andrei Kirilenko during a 125-105 Game 3 victory in the Western Conference semifinals, Golden State's lone win of that series.
The lead up to that playoff run left a lasting impression on those players involved in the turnaround. Long before tipoff, the noise was deafening.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr could feel it even back during his playing days. He always loved playing in Oakland even when the Warriors were bad because the fans were so committed, so loud.
At Chase Center, white exterior panels have already gone up on the east and south sides and are beginning to wrap around to the western end near the main lobby entrance. A waterfront park project is also underway.
AP Sports Writers Genaro C. Armas in Milwaukee and Dave Campbell in Minneapolis contributed to this report.


Organisers for the South West show have confirmed the exhibitor list and presentation timetable for the event which takes place next month. RISCOS Ltd, Castle and AdvantageSix will each take to the stage to demonstrate their products and tout their recent developments. Eager users are expected to flock to the modest exhibition in north Somerset in hope of getting a sneak preview into developments that will be showcased at future events this year, or at least see what everyone else saw at the Christmas roadshow.
The full list so far includes: 3QD (formerly VirtualAcorn), APDL, AdvantageSix, Archive, BARUG, CJE Micros, Castle, David Snell, Fortran Friends, GeneSys (formerly OreganoUK), Icon Technology, John Norris, MW Software, Mathmagical, Orpheus Internet Services, Qercus, R-Comp, RISCOS Ltd, SSS, Spellings Services, StrongARM Systems, and The ARM Club.
Show boss John Stonier said, "All the above mentioned are coming. Please come and support the only RISC OS show in south west England."
New faces StrongARM Systems will be selling software for people such as head injury suffers and stroke victims seeking to recuperate their lost cognitive skills.
Taking place on Saturday February 18th at the Webbington Hotel, BS26 2XA, the show is set to open at 10am and close at 4.30pm.
Nice to see new firms attending the show.
Non of the links work in the RISC OS section, apart from back to the Windows section.
Erm What new faces/comapnies are we talking about? StrongARM Systems have been at the South West Show before.
Don't think I've seen AdvantageSix or even STD there before.
is there a games arcade? if there is, what games will be on show?
In Replay to riscosmad: Games! I don't think there has been any new commercial games since TEK. And that aint 32bit so won't run on modern hardware. Therefore is there any need for a Games Arcade?
"Have I been nominated on drobe.co.uk this year? Sadly not."

Home Local Bishop Sex Trial Delayed As Lawyers Abandon the Accused
Bishop Sex Trial Delayed As Lawyers Abandon the Accused
What kind a sermon will RANDY FRASER preach this Sunday? How to have sex in Church...PART I.
Nassau, Bahamas — Bahamas Press was livid and ballistic this week following the further delay of the BISHOP Randy Fraser debacle now played out in a Nassau courtroom.
We were so offended by the developments; it made us just short of hurling rocks, bottles, conch shells and expletives at the legal team representing the "Good Bishop" in this matter. To put it bluntly, following this week's courtroom gymnastics, we do not know who should have been standing trial; the accused, Randy Fraser, his wife or his hotshot lawyer who failed to show.
Now get this, on Thursday Fraser in testimony said that the semen found on the Church carpet, [Lawd have mussie – acts of murder!], was not thrown there after having sex with the victim, but following episodes of sex with his wife. Fraser was on the witness stand this week and explained to the nation that sometimes he gets over excited and would keep his wife inside the church to have moments of "intimate pleasure". Boy the Bishop "freaky" nah!
In his usual arrogant tone the former Child Protection Panel Officer told the court, "My office is my office. My office is also dubbed my home away from home.
"I have a wife and we would be intimate, it's my office." We thought this was the Church office to conduct church business not sex sessions.
The "Good Bishop" is such a hot potato; he concluded that he could not wait to reach home to commit his acts of benevolence on his wife. Now get this, this is the HOUSE OF GOD, the place of worship, the Temple Consecrated for the Most High, and the "GOOD BISHOP" simply decided to cut a sequel from the motion picture, 'Adam and Eve'.
Could someone please tell BP why on this blessed Sunday morning, would a Bishop decide to perform BACK SHOTS on his wife in the sanctity of the church, just yards away from the area where she performs praise and worship? 'VEL CALL DA BALICE!' THEY HAVE NO DAMN SHAME!!!
But if you think that was bad check this one out. The next day of testimony attorney for the accused failed to show up. That hotshot lawyer sends a junior lawyer to cover for him in a high profile case and guess what? She fails to appear.
Poor Fraser already caught with his pants down and semen on the floor, he began making demands to the judge to please not to continue the case without his hired attorney Wayne Munroe present. And here's where our story gets interesting.
While Fraser was in his Egypt, wildly defending himself, his lawyer was recorded on Facebook monitoring BP and commenting on posts connected on the social network. Now what is THIS?
In a failed attempt to explain his absence to fans on Facebook, lawyer Munroe accepted praise for being one who should be clad in silk, and went on to explain why he was not in the courtroom on Friday. He noted that there were pressing office business he had to attend to and he had assigned a competent assistant to represent the "Good Bishop".
Now get this, Wayne still did not express what that business was nor did he explain what was he doing on Facebook commenting while his client was left to defend himself on a serious charge.
Some have called the move an attempt to slow the wheels of Justice to a grinding halt. Is this an OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE? Is this a waste of the court's time? Is this fair to the defendant? Someone must answer these questions.
Fraser is on trial for having a sexual relationship with a then 16 year-old dependent between July 2005 and February 2006.
Prosecutors in the case are presenting that the accused committed these acts on the victim several times during that period. She also alleges several sexual incidents occurred in the church and some before the divine service.
The case has been put off again until March 15th, 2011.
'DESE' ARE THE LAST DAYS, LET US PRAY!
WE NEED CHANGE!

Kim Sands Jun 7, 2011 at 11:47 pm
Rev brought shame to his whole family, it was bad enough when he dragged his wife into this mess, now he getting the children mix up. Now they telling the court they is have sex in the same room with the children. Lord have mercy, these poor kids must be traumatized!! By the time this case is finish all of them will need counseling. If it is true and all of them is be in the room while he and his wife having sex, why didn't one of them clean the semen of the floor? They know God don't reside in filthy places. Which lawyer representing these people, it can't be Wayne Munroe, because I always say if I got into problems, I would want him defending me, If it is him, right now I am not too sure about that. I guess we will have to wait and see how this scandalplay out.

@Kim Sands
Typical response of those who can dish out scoulding but can't take it. AGAIN, YOU DON'T MATTER IN THE EQUATION. Any post becomes everybody's business (its called public forum), so if you want your view to be treated as "private" then only tell it to your closest friends.
Kim Sands Mar 11, 2011 at 1:50 am
Well Storm, it is nice to go away and return to the site and see what I have to share is indeed relevant to you, even if no one else seems to appreciate what I have to say, because you sure same to be enjoying responding to all my comments on this particular topic. Don't get it twisted nah, I don't have a problem with you responding to my comments, it just that you were the one saying I don't fit into the equation, so I was wondering why you were wasting your time addressing me, unless you don't have nothing better to do with your time. I know if I felt somebody's contribution was not relevant to the issue, I would not be wasting my precious time addressing them, but I guess some people are just different in that aspect.
@Kim Sands & smart kid
Don't get caught up in the details of the adultery because at the end of the day it is just an act of infidelity against his wife – period. This behavior should have given rise to a broader and deeper discussion about INTEGRITY AMONGST ALL PREACHERS.
Follow me, Randy is instantly forgiven by the only person who matters, his wife, if he begs for and receives her forgiveness. All the rest of us don't count in the equation. Sure it is a major blemish on him publicly, but BREAKING THE MARRIAGE VOW THROUGH ADULTERY IS THE ONLY SIN here. And if his wife forgives him and God forgives him, that ends the matter (as far as God is concerned). We who go on and on and on in our condemnation of him then put ourselves at risk of sinning (stupidly I might add) before God through bitterness at a person. The scriptures say it this: IF I REGARD INIQUITY IN MY HEART GOD WILL NOT HEAR ME (hear my prayers). Or, perhaps it hits home to you from this verse in the model prayer given to Jesus' disciple "AND FORGIVE US THIS DAY, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US …" My point is this is a husband and wife matter. How many husbands have done the same thing, sometimes the wife never found out, sometimes the wife found out but forgave him, and some fathered children while commiting adultery, and are still married, because the wife has forgiven them. I hope people in any of these predictaments did not negatively comment on this situation, because that would be hypocrisy. Now on to a more important point.
I would rather sit under Randy NOW than under those who deliberately teach false doctrines with the clear motive of enriching themselves. The false promises and doctrines taught, so called prophesied, and prayed for fulfillment of, are doing far greater damage in the lives of those unsuspecting souls who occupy the pews. At least in Randy's case the damage is confined to Randy, his wife and the girl. When these "jokers" tell lies to persuade hard-working people to "sow seeds" they effect more people than that. We know that many of them are compromised, to the extent that they lobby the government for Crown Land to build churches, then turn around and sell the land as housing subdivisions. Many more get taxi plates and omni bus franchise licences, all to speak well about the politicians. The politicians regard them as having influence over US, thus they play along in the game of deceit. This is what I believe should be discussed. These preachers are living the life of Riley while those who support their lavish lifestyles are struggling daily.
Kim Sands Feb 28, 2011 at 12:16 am
Oh Really Storm? You always have people on these blog who feel they are in authority to dictate to others as to what they should say on these blogs, but last time I checked you don't have ownership rights over my views. Just like how you are here summing me up and coming to some stupid conclusion that I am here condemning someone, I am here expressing my views just like you. Try see if you can make your point and leave me out of your business, if you please. Like you have stated, I don't matter in the equation, so why waste time address me? That simply doesn't make any sense to me, just like the explanation the Rev give for his semen being on the floor in the church.
plmoxey@yahoo.com Jul 6, 2011 at 12:28 pm
I don't agreed with you here ! frist one has to confess there sin in order to be forgiven the damage is not just confined to those plp , as a child of God we are life should be a mirrow an open book nothing hidden that can't be revile (Gal6:7)Be not deceived: god is not a mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
smart kid Feb 25, 2011 at 9:08 am
Sands i with you on this one. The girl knew what happened because it was her in the church office wit him. She is telling the truth people. Prosecution get your act together. Furthermore Fraser wife ain good lookin for him to get excited like dat in the HOME AWAY FROM HOME. She better tell da truth. Oh LORD bring him to confess his sins before it is a day too late.
Blind Blake and Ray Charles would have been able to see through these webs of lies. I sympathize with the wife and the accuser. The wife because I can't begin imagine what she must be going through and now to have her husband further tarnishing her image on the top of that it cant be easy on her and the accuser, because she was still a minor during the time the allege incidents was said to have taken place.

Kim Sands Feb 23, 2011 at 4:56 am
It is going to be interesting to see if the Rev's wife is going to stand by him and help out of this mess he managed to get himself into. I know one damn thing if I was the wife and it wasn't me who caused him to ejaculate on the rug in the church office , I wasn't lying for him. Some of these Revs too wicked and they need to be held accountable for their wicked actions. No sir, I wasn't sinning my soul for him. He done cheat on me and now he trying to bring me down with him and make me look slack on top of that. I am sorry I wouldn't have been able to help him. How am I supposed to be able to go back and worship with those people? Even if they don't call to take the stand in court, I feel I owe my church members and the general public an explanation. They deserve to know it wasn't me who was getting it on in the church office and caused him to mess up the carpet in there because I respect the house of God way too much for that. These church members normally take good care of their pastors and they want them to live comfortably. I don't think they would want them to be doing that in the church. Two to one, they have a big bed at home and the most expensive and lavish bedroom set which the members paid for and he can't wait until he gets home to deal with his sexual urges and show his wife some type of respect? According to him he making it seems as if this was something they did on a regular basis in the church and whether this is true or not he really making both he and his wife appear to be slack in the eyes of the public. I could see if he said this happen one time, things got a little heated in there one evening and they did it in there and t they vow to never do that there again, it just didn't feel right doing it there, but instead he boosted about it being his home away from home. What I want know is how his accuser knew he came on the rug? You think she heard him and his wife in there and then she used the info to frame him? Send his hip to jail one time, he too stupid and slack. He is a danger too society and does not deserve to be on the street.
INDEPENDENTVOTER2012 Feb 23, 2011 at 12:27 am
All I haved to say is NASSSTTTTYYYY!!!! Atleast if his victim does not get closure from the trial, hopefully since the public knows who this man really is, this should help to bring her some solice AND MAYBE A PEICE OF MIND. But again NASSSTTTYYYY!!!!
Grouper Mouth Wisdom Feb 22, 2011 at 10:05 pm
Hey guys give the good Rev a break. Maybe he gets too excited, and there's no time to aim his "one" shot pistol, much less reload it. You'd be surprised whom doing whom in offices of all kind, all over this town of ours. When they say the boss is not in, he/she is either in, or taking someone's notes.
Michael J.Brown Feb 22, 2011 at 9:20 pm
First of all, semen on the carpets or whatever is only proof that a male ejaculated; into who is the issue. In any event, a case this serious should never have been heard in the Magistrates Court. That was the first mistake. If this matter was in the Supreme Court it would have been resolved one way or another a long time ago. Look for a mistrial and lost files!!
Sexy Caramel Feb 22, 2011 at 8:22 pm

takethat Feb 22, 2011 at 12:11 pm
This is such a sad situation. All I want to say to my Bahamian people is to start spending quality time with God; get to know him for yourself and to hell with this so called manmade church crap. I am so over it!
Give your 10pct to a family in need or blessed someone that can really use a blessing.
I guess what I am saying is stop going to church and be it.
Love you all…..!

i said all along one of that girl brothers shoul have maimed him just chap him one so that everytime he looks in the mirrow he would see and be reminded of what he has done.because you know what he will get of free you can take that to the bank.
caribbeanQueen Feb 21, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Its a real big SHAME that he refuses to confess, and repent! What kind of a person would want to have sex in a church, what's going on in their mind, have they no reverence? It's more normal to believe that if a man has sex with his wife he most likely will ejaculate inside her, and not have to worry about anything; but if he's having sexual relations with a female who is not his wife he will more than likely pull out during or when he's about to ejaculate hoping to not create a child with the female who is not his wife. So then of course by stroking the penis vigorously this will cause semen to fly and land almost anywhere.
brigadoon Feb 21, 2011 at 10:53 am
Who knows what really happened in that office. If Randy "Backshot Dat" Fraser is telling the truth I guess it will be revealed or not.
Philly Feb 20, 2011 at 10:56 pm
It's a disgrace that this criminal will drag his wife and daughter into this ****. He is grasping at straws now and is prepared to pull anyone down with him. Thank God I am not a member of his church because this shameless Gangster might even frame me.
GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL
STORM Feb 20, 2011 at 10:07 pm
@Crystal
Offences like this one that involves Randy Fraser provide a perfect "opening" for those who HATE GOD to project that HATRED OF GOD by identifying a man, any man, who has the same human weaknesses that WE ALL HAVE, and hurling the most outrageous insults at them. Thereby relieving themselves of the pent-up bitterness towards God. I know of some homosexuals who are in a STATE OF GLEE watching this unfold. Am I supporting Randy frazer or anyone else like him, absolutely not. But also, I refuse to embrace "dribble" from the mouth of those who have a hidden agenda and play the emotions of the moment to advance that agenda. Since you project yourself as a bible scholar of sorts, may I direct your attention to ACTS where then Saul (who after his Chtistian conversion renamed himself Paul) was abalaze with hatred, desiring to persecute "those of that way" (Believers in Jesus Christ). Jesus appeared to him and asked Saul why he (Saul) was persecuting HIM, HIM, HIM (scholar). JESUS IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE BELEIVERS AND WITH THE BELIEVERS. NOTICE, JESUS DID NOT SAY TO SAUL, WHY ARE YOU PERSECUTING THEM. (should you pretend to be slow) JESUS SAID IN ESSENCE THE BELEIVERS ARE TO BE TREATED THE SAME WAY THAT ONE TREATS GOD (take up any issue you have with this request with him, Jesus). ALL men should be merciful and ALWAYS demonstrate love (especially those inclined to sin, especially that kind). IS THAT WHY HE SAID "… THE LEAST THAT YOU DO UNTO THESE MY BRETHREN, YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME." EVERYTHING SAID, EVERY WORD WRITTEN (in the bible) came by way of MEN WHO EVEN AFTER CONVERSION AND DEVOION TO GOD AT THE HIGHEST LEVL STILL SINNED. "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE" (you are playing a dangerous game). When I read this story my first response was to think about my own shortcomings (which are not illegal like Randy's, but it will take me straight TO HELL ANYWAY, and being mindful that I could compound my situation by denouncing his (it's called hypocrisy, Scholar) I decided to be constrained in my comments. How about recommending that prayers be offered for those who once held this man in high regard as a pastor or spiritual leader (can you imagine the taunting). History shows that many simply "fall away" from their faith in God in the face of such public ridicule of them. Or is that what you want and deliberately contributed towards? In closing, the same bible that you have used as an offensive weapon against others also says "JUDGEMENT WITHOUT MERCY WILL BE SHOWN TO THOSE WHO DO NOT DISPLAY MERCY." What does that mean, Scholar?

Coming on Mr Randy "Bigsexer" Fraizer please tell the public the truth about what happened on that blessed day that you couldnt wait to get home. Thats all we are waitng to hear. "THE TRUTH" It will set you free. You had a nice big sloppy kiss, then you nipples sucked,YESSS! then she went down and L….. the lollipop, then it all ended up in the backed up mode right? It is obvious that it was good because you C…… YES? the semen remembered ok. So what are you hiding?
Crystal Feb 20, 2011 at 4:20 pm
I am convinced alot of our so call pastors are influenced by demonic forces. They will not adresse this issue for it is tooo sensitive. But people are being misled from the pulpit. They are given a screwed up message from the pulpit from persons who are not inlined with GOD, ye who old pastoral positions. The Bible spreaks about these people:
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity [lawlessness] shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
2 Pet 2:1 [NIV] But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them–bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Pet 2:2 [NIV] Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
2 Pet 2:3 [NIV] In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
You ahve to be careful of all these pastors for they have a cultish brotherhood, where they stick by each other even when they KNOW IT IS WRONG. But we have to admit that before these SO CALLED pastors were made pastors THEY WERE MEN…and some of them are exactly that SINFUL MEN who are able to avoid church clothes. If it Barks like a dogs and acts like a dog with trashy acts and statements. IT IS A BLINKING DOG…depite that fact that it says amen and can afford church clothes and stands on a pulpit.
Abacogal Feb 20, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Crystal you describe that demon to a 'T'!! Look at his picture and tell me you don't see spirits looking back at you?
God has a special judgement for these wicked people that abuse the innocent and lead his flock astray…All I can pray for is that he openly repents cause God Almighty will be swift with his justice!
Quite frankly, I feel the reason why the Bishop said that it was semem from sex with his wife…is beacuse I think by law you cannot call a wife to testify against a husband. I think that is why he said that because they cannotput her on the witness stand.
valeria Feb 20, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I hope what he said about his wife is true, and she heard that, because if not, then she knows NOW it was not her on the floor. I would rebuke that devil. She can't be that naive. For the simple fact he got himself all mixed up in something like this, his suitcase would have been to the door long time. You could only do wrong for so long. What you do in the dark will come to light, God don't like ugly. Making a fool out of that woman. smt.
She will probablt LIE to cover for him for other Baptist ministers dictate to her what to do. They tell her to go home and support her husband. She probably will be a puppet. That is just why if she convers she deserves the embarrassment. IT IS JUST SO SICKENING the foolishness that goes on in the name of the LORD then they want to call on GOD. The churche office is not is brothel. sexual acts should not be perform anywhere in the vicinity of GODS place or OFFICE. Regardless if it is with a prostitute or WIFE. If it is okay for him to have sex in the churches office..why stop they Mr. Frasier you might as well have a show and tell and have sex sunday morning on the PULPIT. NASTY BIBLE TOTING DOG!!!!

DNA evidence is virtually IRREFUTABLE in the court of law. He couldn't explain that away so any good attorney would then adivse him that he needs to present a PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO.
Yes I had sex in my office but it was with my wife.
The story adjusts as evidence is unveiled and that's why today people find it hard to trust him. Why didn't he present these so called facts at the very beginning? Was he just now able to talk his wife into lying for him? If she is lying to cover him she is as much of a disgrace as he is!!!!

@ child of the 60s
This is a freaky situation indeed but the semen in the church must be accounted for.I have stayed out of this situation as I realise that the devil has returned to earth and seems to be mashing up Gods anointed.The Christian church needs to call a symposium to deal with matters like this.Do others see a similarity with what the victim said and what the Bishop said?The young victim claimed she had sex in church with him either before a sermon or meeting or after church.What about the many gifts?most women only get these at xmas,birthday,mothers day,easter,but the youngster all the time.I wonder who is preaching at that church this morning?Will the wife attend church today?Children are embarassed when their parents lock their bedroom door and rarely see their parents kissing,now we find that Bishop was engaged with his wife on the ground.Lord pray for us and Bishop and as we have all sinned.
Get real Feb 20, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Maybe if more of the christians would stop acting like sex and intimacy are so bad they could have an open relationship with their children where they could discuss these facts of life and arm their children with the tools to say no and tell mom and dad when a sick piece of crap like this so-called bishop tries to molest them. No, instead ya'll pretend we didn't all get here by the act of sex and make it secretive and "bad" and then we are all surprised when girls get pregnant and children cannot speak up when they are molested. Sex is a natural part of life and good parents will start discussing it with their children very early right around that age when molesters are trying to get near children. Start at 5 or earlier. Knowledge is power and all the praying in the world doesn't and will not stop these kinds of incidents and the high teen pregnancy rate. Let's just all grow up.
Loved your comment, so true!
Child of the 60s Feb 20, 2011 at 9:26 am
Grinding your wife on the church floor?Oh Lord forgive him as the truth can be seen in the statement.Maybe thats why Munroe is ducking as he cannot stomach what he is hearing.The Attorney representing the Bishop is really sick as he recognises that to continue with this defence could ruin any political ambition he might have.If you grind your wife in your car, office or in the sea every jungalist will receive the same treatment.The victims story has more credibility based on what the Bishop said.If the wife testifies the prosecution is likely to call rebuttal witnesses in the persons of students who made allegations sometime ago.I say to the wife please dont do it,as every freak is likely to target you.Please,please save other young women from embarassment.God forgives but your fellow men and women dont.
joseph in eygpt Feb 20, 2011 at 8:33 am
the purpose of this trial is to show how we can all do what we like but not for as long as we like. sexing in the office leads to a cow storming into the santuary demanding money and disrupting the service. the grounds was open to demonic activities so the devil had legal grounds to bring this to the open. all of you who hold offices being in the public light know that your numbers will be called and likewise you too would not escape the wrath of God who is not mocked. If Frazier is innnocent he would do good to plead for a release of this curse he actually brought on himself for opening the door for demons to enter into that church and ruin a place where worship is to be revered. for all of you in high places in government, private sector as well your sins will find you out as well. all secrets have already been uncovered.
D ROLLE Feb 20, 2011 at 7:17 am
It is not the judgment of our courts that Fraser needs to fear but rather the wrath of an angry God…but then I doubt if he really believes in God.
Its a business baby, its a business.

As electronics usage becomes more widespread, the semiconductor devices used for manufacturing the products require protection from noise sources surrounding them. And the more sophisticated the system, the more susceptible it is to noise. Thankfully, there are various ways to protect the devices and ensure the desired performance, one of which is enclosing the noise sensitive components with a metal shield. What's more, surface mount shields from Leader Tech offer a cost-efficient method to resolve noise issues, and the shield can be removed for testing and reworking when the need arises.
Leader Tech produces several types of surface mount shields to meet the shielding requirements of target customers – one-piece surface mount shields and two-piece surface mount shields. These off-the-shelf solutions are extremely reliable and cost-efficient, and require no tooling charges. These shields are also offered with & without ventilation holes for heat dissipation. Leader Tech has always been known for its careful attention to detail, and the company supplies the ordered products in tape and reel packaging for extra protection during transit and for automated placement on the customer's PCB. Samples of these shields are readily available for customer testing.
The surface shield mounts manufactured by Leader Tech are ideal for applications of any volume, including automated pick and place assembly operations. What sets these products apart from other suppliers in the industry is their versatility and range of offerings, especially when it comes to size and height. While the one-piece surface mount PCB shields are ideal for applications that require zero inspection or repair of shielded elements, two-piece surface mount shields are preferable if frequent inspection is needed.
The surface mount shields from Leader Tech are a suitable solution for electronics manufacturers who want to safeguard their products against EMI noise while saving printed circuit board real estate.

RAMELLI, Agostino.
Le Diverse et Artifiose Machine... Nelle quali si contengono varii et industriosi Movimenti, degni di Grandissima Speculatione, per cavarne beneficio infinito in ogni sorte d'operatione.
Paris: for the author, 1588.
First edition, a magnificent copy bound in contemporary gilt vellum, and with outstanding provenance, of one of the most famous illustrated books of the sixteenth century and a landmark in book design. "The plates in Ramelli's treatise are artistically as well as technologically superb, the bilingual text beautifully printed, and both plates and text surrounded by handsome borders of typographic ornaments. The reasons for this sumptuousness were twofold: first Ramelli had dedicated the book to his patron Henri III; and second, he had previously had several designs stolen from him by a trusted associate (probably Ambroise Bachot, later engineer to Henri IV), who published them in corrupt and mutilated form and claimed them as his own. As a result of this experience Ramelli planned his treatise as a particularly lavish work that would be difficult to counterfeit, and produced and published it from his own house where he could maintain absolute control over the project' (Norman). Together with Agricola's De Re Metallica (1556), Ramelli's work was the most influential and copied of all the early illustrated manuals of inventions and machines. Its influence was felt in such later works as Böckler's Theatrum machinarum (1662), and it was even copied in China, where it had been taken by Jesuit missionaries. This is without doubt one of the finest copies to have appeared on the market, the only comparable copy being that of Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc in the Norman library (Christie's New York, 18 March 1998, lot 168, $200,500; subsequently sold at the Freilich sale, Sotheby's New York, 11 January 2001, lot 449, $291,750).
Provenance: Francoise d'Espinay de Bretagne, first wife of Henri de Schomberg, comte de Nanteuil (1604 gift inscription on front free endpaper); Princes of Liechtenstein (stamp on title); Otto Schäfer (sold Sotheby's 27 June 1995, lot 163, £38,900).
"Ramelli was born in northern Italy, probably in 1531. As a young man he served under the famous Italian warlord, Gian Giacomo de' Medici, Marquis of Marignano, and became trained in mathematics and military engineering. His reputation grew and he eventually left for France to serve under the Duke of Anjou, later King Henry III. His year of death is unknown and usually given as 'circa 1600,' but since documents exist to show that he was still alive in 1608, circa 1610 is a more realistic approximation.
"Ramelli was greatly influenced by the increasing importance placed on mathematics and geometry as an important tool for engineers and artists, and particularly by the writings of Guidobaldo del Monte (1545-1607) and Petrus Ramus (1515-1572). Ramelli's interest in mathematics is demonstrated in the preface to his book, 'On the excellence of mathematics in which is shown how necessary mathematics are for learning all the liberal arts.' Ramelli also wanted to make his book accessible to many engineers so, as an Italian living in France, he produced both Italian and French descriptions of the machines.
"The book itself is a fine example of the exquisite work of late sixteenth-century French printers and artists. It is a large book in folio format thus allowing great detail to be placed in the numerous engraved plates which total 195 in all (although plates 148 and 149 are combined into one image). Twenty of the plates are two-page spreads. Ramelli's bilingual descriptions are much more detailed than those found in previous illustrated books of machines (popularly called 'theaters of machines') by Jacques Besson (Theatrum instrumentorum et machinarum, 1569) and Jean Errard de Bar-le-Duc (Le premier livre des instruments mathématiques mechaniques, 1584).
"Ramelli's book had a great influence on future mechanical engineering as can be see in Georg Andreas Böckler's work, Theatrum machinarum novum, 1662, where he copied eighteen of Ramelli's plates. Ramelli's influence can also be seen in the well-known works of Grollier de Servière (Recueil d'ouvrages curieux de mathematique et de mecanique, 1719) and Jacob Leupold (the multi-volume set Theatrum machinarum, 1724-1739). Leupold's work helped pass along Ramelli's ideas to a large population of eighteenth-century engineers.
"Of the 195 machines pictured in the book, the majority are of devices designed to raise water. The breakdown is as follows:
110 Water-raising machines
21 Grain mills
4 Other mills
10 Cranes
7 Machines for dragging large objects
2 Machines to raise excavated earth
2 Cofferdams
4 Fountains and artificial bird-calls
1 Book wheel
15 Military bridges
14 Screw jacks and other breaking devices
4 Hurling engines
1 Gunner's quadrant
"Bachot was an apprentice and assistant to Ramelli, eventually becoming an architect and engineer to King Henry IV. As described in Gnudi's introduction to her translation of Ramelli, during the sixteen years he spent with Ramelli, Bachot learned a great deal about engineering but had a falling out with the elder engineer and attempted to pass off some of Ramelli's machine designs as his own in an attempt to gain patronage. These designs were published in 1587 in a book by Bachot, Le Timon, and the similarity in style between Bachot's engravings and Ramelli's is impressive. After intense research, Gnudi concluded that Bachot engraved the plates for his own work and most of those produced for Ramelli's book as well. After their falling out in 1587, Ramelli still used the plates Bachot engraved for him rather than have them redone. Gnudi never claimed that Bachot produced the original drawings, but rather engraved the plates after Ramelli's drawings.
"Only the one edition of the book was issued during Ramelli's lifetime. In 1620, a German translation appeared in Leipzig as Schatzkammer, mechanischer Künste..., published by Henning Grossen den Jüngern with the illustrations re-engraved by Andreas Bretschneider. A number of facsimile reprints have appeared since 1970 and in 1976 an English translation was prepared by Martha Teach Gnudi and Eugene S. Ferguson and published jointly by the Johns Hopkins University Press and the Scholar Press" (Brashear).

Isle of Man Lifeboat Rescues Stranded Pleasure Craft
#LIFEBOATS - IOM Today reports that the Isle of Man's Peel RNLI lifeboat crew went to the rescue of the pleasure craft Flying Fox, which suffered an engine room fire some 22 miles off the island's west coast.
Flying Fox was en route from Strangford to Holyhead with one person on board when the fire occurred early yesterday, leaving the 34-foot Nelson-type vessel stranded in the Irish Sea.
Relief lifeboat Bingo Lifeline - replacing the stations main lifeboat, Ruby Cleary, which is currently in Holyhead for a refit - was dispatched with a volunteer crew, who found the boat after a "difficult" search.
The vessel was taken in tow back to Peel in moderate seas. No injuries were reported.

Lifeboat Crew Face Challenge in Courtown Car Crash
#LIFEBOATS - "Extremely challenging" conditions hampered the crew of Courtown RNLI after a car crashed into the sea at the Co Wexford harbour, the Irish Examiner reports.
A 19-year-old man died in the incident on Friday night after he and two other teenagers crashed through a sea wall. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene after his removal from the submerged vehicle.
The lifeboat crew pointed to debris from rivers swollen by the heavy rains of the past few days, coupled with gale force winds, as complicating their efforts.
Elsewhere, the Examiner reports that two men on board a yacht that got into difficulties near the Old Head of Kinsale yesterday afternoon were rescued by Courtmacsherry RNLI.
Additional report from Aine Stafford of Courtown RNLI Lifeboat station:
Courtown RNLI Lifeboat launched on Friday night, June 15th, at 22.35 hrs, to a report of a vehicle having entered the water in Courtown Harbour, Co. Wexford.
The volunteer RNLI crew launched the Lifeboat in less than five minutes, and quickly located the car, with the assistance of Courtown Coastguard and Gorey Gardai who were on the harbour side. Gorey Fire Brigade and the local Ambulance service also attended the scene.
An RNLI crew member entered the water at the location of the submerged car, and the Lifeboat then proceeded to carry out a thorough search of the harbour in challenging weather conditions. After 48 hours of heavy rain, quite a lot of debris had washed down the two rivers that enter Courtown Harbour and there was a large swell coming in from the sea.
Unfortunately, a short time later, the Lifeboat crew recovered a man's body from the submerged car. The remains were then taken to Courtown RNLI Lifeboat Station where the man was pronounced deceased by the local Caredoc Service.
Courtown RNLI Lifeboat extends its sympathy to the family of the deceased.
Children Rescued From Rising Tide in Galway Bay
#LIFEBOATS - Four children were rescued from a rising tide on Sunday in what was a busy June bank holiday weekend for Ireland's RNLI lifeboats.
The Irish Times reports that a 10-year-old and three teenagers were with their father on Rine Island in Galway Bay, near Ballyvaughan in Co Clare, when they were caught out by the incoming tide.
The father swam to shore and raised the alarm, promoting a quick response from an Irish Coast Guard helicopter and the Galway RNLI lifeboat, who removed the children to safety.
"Both rescue services pulled out all the stops and were on the scene within minutes to divert what could have been a tragedy," said Galway lifeboat operations manager Mike Swan.
The incident occurred not long after the Ballycotton lifeboat was called to assist a vessel taking on water some 23 miles southeast of the Co Cork town.
And elsewhere, as previously reported on Afloat.ie, two racing yachts were led to safety by the Dun Laoghaire lifeboat on Sunday morning after getting into difficulty amid gale-force winds and driving rain on Dublin Bay.
Two Racing Yachts Brought to Safety By Dun Laoghaire Lifeboat
#YACHTRESCUE–Two yachts in difficulty were brought to safety by the RNLI lifeboat stationed at Dun Laoghaire earlier today as gale force winds and driving rain lashed the east coast of Ireland. The incidents occurred at 8am today as the boats were returning from an offshore race on the Irish Sea.
The Irish Coastguard's Marine Rescue Co-Ordination Centre (MRCC) Dublin received the calls for assistance from the boats and requested that the RNLI All-Weather lifeboat (ALB) at Dun Laoghaire launch to assist the crews that were unable to enter the harbour.
One of the boats had earlier fouled its propeller and was unable to use power for entering harbour and berthing while the other boat that was travelling in its company couldn't start it's engine due to battery problems. A heavy swell driven by near-gale force 7 winds with higher gusts blowing from the East caused a large swell and steep waves on approach to Dun Laoghaire.
The RNLI lifeboat launched with seven volunteer crew and proceeded to sea where visibility was reduced to less than one mile. The first yacht with seven people on board was standing-by half a mile from the harbour entrance while the second was further south off Dalkey. The yacht entered the harbour where the lifeboat took it alongside and towed it to a marina berth.
The operation was repeated 30 minutes later for the second casualty that had five people on board. Both boats were approximately 35 feet in length. Nobody was hurt in either incident and the lifeboat returned to station shortly before 10am.
"The casualties in these incidents were both prepared for offshore conditions but unforeseen circumstances meant they needed the assistance of the lifeboat on this occasion," commented Mark McGibney, RNLI Coxswain at Dun Laoghaire who was in charge of this morning's operation.
RNLI Salutes 45 Volunteers at Awards Ceremony
#RNLI – The annual RNLI Ireland awards took place at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin, with volunteers and supporters being recognised for their role in raising funds and awareness for the charity that saves lives at sea. Guest of honour was RTE's Bryan Dobson, who spoke of his admiration for the RNLI and handed out awards to forty-five volunteers.
Awardees came from all over Ireland and were recognised for their service to the RNLI through fundraising and support for the lifeboat crews at station level. The ceremony is held annually to honour their commitment and to thank them for their tireless work and dedication to the charity. One special award was given to the community of Inishbofin for years of support for the charity. They beat communities from all over the UK and Ireland to receive the specially commissioned bronzed RNLI Supporter Award.
RNLI Irish Council member Peter Crowley presided over the awards and thanked the volunteers for their continued support. Speaking during the ceremony he said, "This ceremony is about honouring our volunteers. The awards that are being given are a small token of the thanks of the Institution for years of service and support to a charity that has always had at its heart one aim; to save lives at sea. I wish to thank all the awardees for their unfailing support and dedication in continuing to raise funds and to support our volunteer crews."
Guest of honour Bryan Dobson added, "When the worse come to the worst at sea, behind us always stands the men and women of the RNLI. There would be no lifeboats or lifeboat crews without the fundraisers and station volunteers. You all make a difference."
Awardees on the day were from RNLI branches and stations throughout Ireland including Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Waterford, Wexford, Meath, Kerry, Sligo, Wicklow, Louth, Mayo, Galway and Monaghan.
Sheep Rescued By B-a-a-altimore Lifeboat
#RNLI – An unusual rescue for Baltimore RNLI lifeboat, the crew launched on Tuesday night to a sheep that was stranded on a ledge close to sea level for two days.
Several attempts had already been made to recover the sheep when the lifeboat crew were asked if they could offer any assistance. The RNLI inshore lifeboat Bessie was launched with Helm Youen Jacob and lifeboat crew Ronan Callanan and Tadhg Colins, who made their way to Eastern Hole near Baltimore Harbour, to see if they could help in the recovery. Luckily a break in the weather made it possible for two of the lifeboat crew to climb the rocks and recover the animal. It was then transferred to the lifeboat and brought on the short journey back to the harbour.
Commenting on the callout, Baltimore RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Tom Bushe said, "It was certainly not the usual type callout for the lifeboat crew but we were happy to help. Nobody wants to see any animal in distress and we were also worried that people would themselves get into difficulty trying to recover it. The crew waited for a break in the bad weather and then went in and scaled the rocks to recover the sheep. We've rescued many people before but a sheep is a little different."
Dun Laoghaire Lifeboats Rescue Eleven
#RNLI – Both lifeboats stationed at Dun Laoghaire were called into service three times on Saturday afternoon for a variety of incidents in which eleven people were assisted.
Following a 999 call, the Irish Coastguard's Marine Rescue Co-Ordination Centre (MRCC) in Dublin tasked the RNLI's Trent class all-weather lifeboat (ALB) at Dun Laoghaire to assist five people in difficulty with their 12-foot speedboat after engine problems. The lifeboat launched shortly after 3.30pm and found the casualty two miles south of Dalkey Island.
The five persons were taken on board the lifeboat and the speedboat was taken to Dun Laoghaire marina.
Later in the afternoon, MRCC Dublin tasked the RNLI after reports of kite-surfers in difficulty off Dun Laoghaire's West Pier. Due to the shallow-water area, the Inshore lifeboat (ILB) was used and found two people whose kite wires had become tangled and were unable to reach land. The pair and most of their equipment was recovered and taken to the ILB boathouse.
As the ILB entered Dun Laoghaire Harbour, the coastguard received a call for assistance on VHF radio from a party of kayakers that were crossing the Irish Sea to Holyhead. Having departed for the Welsh port with an ETA of 6am on Sunday, one of the group had sustained a shoulder injury and was unable to continue. MRCC Dublin tasked the ALB at Dun Laoghaire at 5.45pm which launched immediately after the ILB had landed the kitesurfers.
The party of kayakers had reached a position ten miles east of Dun Laoghaire and were located after 30 minutes using VHF direction finding equipment on the lifeboat. All four were taken on board the ALB and the large kayaks loaded onto the sidedecks. One of the volunteer lifeboat crew was a Doctor who examined the injured paddler. The group was landed at Dun Laoghaire marina at 8.15pm and no further medical attention was required.
Flares Alert Bundoran Lifeboat To Broken Down Pleasure Craft
#BUNDORAN RESCUE – Bundoran RNLI Lifeboat were this evening, Saturday 14 April, called to aid a small pleasure craft, following a mayday call to Malin Head Coast Guard.
The 18 foot craft, with two persons on board who were both wearing lifejackets, suffered engine failure and immediately deployed 2 emergency flares. These were spotted by the nearby Prospector One who issued a mayday relay to the Coast Guard at Malin Head who in turn issued a page to the crew of Bundoran Lifeboat. Within minutes, the Atlantic 85 lifeboat William Henry Liddington launched and the volunteer crew were on the scene.
The craft had received an initial tow from Prospector One as it was floating dangerously close to rocks. The Killybegs coastguard unit were also tasked to the scene and arrived shortly afterwards whilst the Sligo based Rescue 118 helicopter who were en route, were stood down. The Bundoran Lifeboat then proceeded to take the vessel under tow to Mullaghmore Harbour.
Volunteer lifeboat helm Brian Gillespie said 'engine failure is a common cause of lifeboat callouts. Luckily the two persons on board were prepared and had emergency flares and were able to raise the alarm. Importantly they were also both wearing lifejackets. Being prepared is the key and we would always advise boaters to have basic safety equipment on board'.
Marine Notice on Construction Work at Baltimore Lifeboat Station
#LIFEBOATS - The latest marine notice from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS) advises of construction work being carried out on Baltimore Lifeboat Station from today 5 March.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the works are part of a €2.6 million State-funded project to conduct essential remedial works at harbours across West Cork this year.
The works - which will be ongoing till mid-October pending weather conditions - will involve piling immediately adjacent to the foreshore on the north-east side of the building, and the deposition of rock to form an armoured breakwater jutting some 80m into Church Strand Bay.
No forseeable impact to mariners in the area is expected, but vessels are in any case requested to proceed slowly and with caution in the approach channel to Church Strand Bay and to give the works a wide berth to avoid wave-wash.
Further details for mariners are included in Marine Notice No 9 of 2012, a PDF of which is available to read and download HERE.

Fundraiser to Recreate Titanic's Last Meal
#TITANIC - Every seat has been snapped up for a special black-tie dinner in Galway next month that will recreate one of the last meals served on the Titanic.
Two menus recovered from the ship have provided the inspiration for the RNLI Galway lifeboat fundraiser, devised by self-described Titanic buff and culinary arts lecturer Noel Loughnane.
The extravagant 11-course meal, at €100 per head, includes such mouth-watering delights as filet mignon, foie gras, salmon with mousseline sauce and Calvados-glazed duckling - just as the ill-fated ship's first-class passengers would have enjoyed.
The Irish Times has more on the story HERE.

Winemaker Notes
Château Lestage shows a deep purple color. It has an attractive, clean and pure bouquet with lifted strawberry and raspberry scents infused with a touch of vanilla from new oak. On the palate, the wine offers a lot of ripe red fruit and black current flavors. It shows good structure with silky tannins, for some good aging. The finish is long and harmonious.
Blend: 62% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon & 1% Petit Verdot
Perfect with grilled red meat, cheese or with chocolate cake.
A beautiful young wine with vivid, blackcurrant and dark-berry character and hints of hazelnuts. Medium body with a lovely core of ripe fruit, yet it remains vivid and bright. A blend of 62 per cent merlot, 37 per cent cabernet sauvignon and one per cent petit verdot. Try from 2021.
From one of several properties owned by the Chanfreau family in Listrac, this wine is firm, structured and has a core of dry, dark tannins. Its black fruits are also right there, waiting to burst through as the tannins soften. It will be a rich, perfumed wine with a good future. Drink from 2024.
Chateau Lestage
Château Lestage's vineyard dates back to Gallo-Roman times but it was only in the 19th century that the present manor, a splendid example of Napoleon III architecture, was built. Classified Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 1932, this
classification has been confirmed in 2003. The estate is 100 acres on a single block, made of Gravelly Pyrenean soil on a limestone and clayey-limestone base.
The Chanfreau Family settled in Listrac-Médoc in 1962 when Léo purchased Château Fonréaud following his return from Algeria. A few months later, his father, Marcel Chanfreau, who also wished to settle in the Médoc, bought Château Lestage (neighboring Fonréaud) and Château Caroline. Today, Marcel's grandson, Jean Chanfreau, runs the estates with his wife Marie-Hélène and his sister Caroline Chanfreau-Philippon. He bought Clos des Demoiselles in 2002. The family-owned vineyard covers 100+ acres in the commune of Listrac-Médoc and 25 acres in the commune of Moulis en Médoc. The vines grow at the highest point in the Médoc, the Puy de Menjon, at an altitude of 140 feet.
