A GRISLY secret harboured in a Black Isle cave for more than a thousand years has finally been brought to light.
Archaeologists working at Rosemarkie have uncovered the remains of a man who was brutally murdered there more than 1400 years ago.
His skeleton was found buried in a recess of the cave, having been placed in an unusual cross-legged position with large stones holding down his legs and arms.
Analysis revealed that "Rosemarkie Man" died sometime between 430 and 630AD and met a pretty awful end.
Because of the remarkable state of preservation of his bones it was also possible to digitally reconstruct how he would have looked in life.
Professor Dame Sue Black, director of the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee said: "From studying his remains we learned a little about his short life but much more about his violent death.
"As you can see from the facial reconstruction he was a striking young man who was sadly cut down in his prime by brutal interpersonal conflict.
"We have identified at least four or five impacts that resulted in fracturing to his face and skull.
"The first impact was by a circular cross-section implement that broke his teeth on the right side. The second may have been the same implement used like a fighting stick, which broke his jaw on the left.
"The third resulted in fracturing to the back of his head as he fell from the blow to his jaw with a tremendous force, possibly onto a hard object, perhaps stone.
"The fourth was intended to end his life as probably the same weapon was driven through his skull from one side and out the other as he lay on the ground.
"The fifth was not in keeping with the injuries caused in the other four where a hole, larger than that caused by the previous weapon, was made in the top of the skull.
"Was this a coup de grace or was it done after death in some form of ritual in keeping with the stones buried on his body? We simply can't tell."
Steven Birch, a local professional archaeologist and volunteer leader of the excavation carried out by North of Scotland Archaeological Society, was amazed to learn about the amount of trauma the man sustained.
"Here we have a man who has been brutally killed, but who has been laid to rest in the cave with some consideration - placed on his back, within a dark alcove, and weighed down by beach stones," he said.
"The style of the death, which included considerable 'overkill' is reminiscent of the Iron Age bog bodies, examples of which had been pinned down in watery pools using wooden stakes and hurdles.
"While we don't know why the man was killed, the placement of his remains gives us insight into the culture of those who buried him.
Simon Gunn is the founder of the Rosemarkie Caves Project and said: "I remember all the excitement when the remains of Richard III were found under a carpark. Well, Rosemarkie Man died 900 years before that so you cannot imagine our reaction when we first uncovered these human remains and then learned about his brutal death."
Ongoing specialist analysis on the skeleton and artefacts from the cave is expected to provide more details of Rosemarkie Man's place of origin and significance as well as more information about the cave's archaeological and historical importance.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Khan Baig has approved recruitment of Constables/Lady Constables for 14 districts of the province. The recruitment in the rest of the districts would be completed after six months because of the limited facilities available in the police training colleges.
The decision to this effect was taken during a high-level meeting held at the Central Police Office (CPO) under the chairmanship of IGP Punjab today.
According to details, the recruitment process would be started in Lahore, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi, Jehlum, Attock, Sargodha, Mianwali, DG Khan, Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, and Faisalabad districts.
The application forms for recruitment could be obtained from the district police headquarters (CPO/DPO Office) from August 31, 2013. 10, September 2013, will be the last date for the submission of applications forms. The candidates who had applied for the recruitment in May 2013 would have to submit new applications since the previous are considered cancelled. The department has also decided to advertise the recruitment in the newspapers.
It was also decided in the meeting that five percent quota for minorities, 15 percent for women and 10 percent for the ex-army men would be fixed. The meeting also decided that only those candidates would be eligible to appear in the written test and interview whose applications would be found complete and no concession would be granted to anybody in the prescribed standards.

(WVLT) - The country's political leaders want you to commit five-minutes a day to prayer, asking God to help heal our nation.
"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then when I hear from heaven and will heal their land, forgive their sins and heal their land," Clara Segars says.
Clara Segars believes America needs healing.
"We have slid down the slippery slope and it's scary and I have been praying, 'Lord, forgive us and withhold your judgment for a little bit longer," Segars continues.
Congress is making the same plea -- as they call on the country to unite in prayer.
"If you look at our heritage, the Founding Fathers certainly understood the importance of prayer. If you walk around Washington, or the Capitol, you certainly see reference to God in many, many places and I can't think of a better thing for us to do right now than return to our Creator," Congressman David Davis says.
"I feel like it's so important that our country gets back to it's roots," Segars says.
Church-goers, like Clara, are getting excited about the proposal...
"It will make a difference. It will make a terrific difference if enough Christians pray," she continues.
Her pastor agrees...
"Who would not want to pray for the goodness of their country? It seems, to me, to be a no brainier," Pastor Larry Fields says.
Quoting Psalms, Congressman Davis says praying together is the only way to prove the power of prayer.
"It says 'Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord'. I certainly know that we've been blessed in America... we're a blessed nation," he says.

All the buzz surrounding the Mets this week as the trade deadline fast approaches has been about Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. I wrote extensively yesterday about why he is a good trade target for the Mets. However, reports indicate it is far more likely the Mets acquire Tulowitzki's teammate, outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.
No one is going to argue that Gonzalez is anywhere near the level of Tulowitzki, but there are varying opinions on him. On the surface, his numbers are outstanding for his career. In 2013, he hit .302/.367/.591 with 26 home runs, 21 stolen bases, and six triples in only 110 games. From 2010 through 2013, Gonzalez hit .311/.370/.556 with a 133 OPS+.
Those are outstanding numbers and make Gonzalez appear to be the perfect outfield bat for the Mets to acquire. While he will not cost quite the package that Tulowitzki would in a trade, his cost will presumably be very high. And unlike with Tulo, he is a player the Mets have to pass on.
Many reporters and fans have made a big deal about Tulowitzki's road numbers. Yet, considering his position, his road numbers are still outstanding. For Gonzalez, they are quite concerning.
Away from home, Gonzalez has hit .260/.315/.441 in his career, compared to .333/.365/.546 at Coors Field. On the road, that's a 102 wRC+, or just two percent better than league average. For left fielders, that is just a tick above average. Unlike Tulowitzki, who had a 118 wRC+ on the road, Gonzalez's bat doesn't translate away from Coors Field. Both clearly suffer on the road, but even so, Tulo is still 50 percent better than the average at his position, while Gonzalez hovers at just around his own positional average.
On the road, Gonzalez strikes out much more frequently, hits more ground balls and fewer line drives, and sees far fewer of his fly balls leave the park. In Coors Field, Gonzalez sees an astounding 21 percent of his fly balls leave the park (compared to a 9.7 percent league average). On the road, that drops to 15.6 percent.
Although he had a fantastic season last year in which his splits were reversed, the sample size on those numbers isn't big enough to say anything definitively. Plenty of players hit against the platoon split or against their ballpark's tendencies for an entire season, but that doesn't mean they have necessarily overcome that obstacle. For Gonzalez, it is surely a fluke.
To make things worse, Gonzalez is having his most disappointing season to date, batting .244/.293/.437 (well below league average) with ten home runs in 63 games. On the road, he is hitting .169/.234/.346. (That's still better than Lucas Duda against left-handed pitching, if that's at all comforting.)
On the financial side, Gonzalez's contract is much shorter than Tulo's with only three years and $54 million left, but that is still a big commitment for the big question mark Gonzales is. The average annual salary ($18 million) on that deal is close to what Tulowitzki will be paid.
If the Mets are going to give up Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler, which they probably would in a Gonzalez trade, they need to get a well above average bat. The two clear positions to upgrade, at least if Daniel Murphy remains, are left field and shortstop. If you plug in an average hitter in left field, you almost have to acquire a star shortstop with the way this year's offense has struggled. Who is out there to fit that bill? The only two obvious candidates are Ben Zobrist and Troy Tulowitzki, and not much else. You still have to give up a big package. In fact, you then have to do it twice. If the Mets are going to give up big pitching prospects, it has to be for someone who will give you consistently above average production.
Gonzalez is just not that player.

Exemption Levels for Alternate Minimum Tax
Q: What are the odds that Congress will take action this year to change the exemption levels for the alternative minimum tax?
—R.F., Lompoc, Calif.
A: Very good. The reason is simple: If Congress does nothing, the number of people hit by the alternative minimum tax for 2007 will soar to about 25 million from about four million last year. Lawmakers simply won't allow that to happen. Voters would be furious. Many taxpayers already are furious. While it's likely Congress will do something...

A friend just launched her blog, and as always, that inner voice starts screaming "write yourself! Get back to your blog!".....if only life didn't get in the way! However, recently I heard a piece of advice that I tucked away inside, and it seems to also be fighting to get out. Basically, that small goals are better than none. So here I am again, trying one more time to resurrect the faithful writing that lived long ago.
While my blog tends to focus more on homeschooling than Catholicism, I couldn't focus on ANYTHING without the latter....homeschooling is my vocation, no doubt, but my faith is the source of all in my life. Without it, there would be no need to "plod" toward holiness, or anywhere else for that matter.

A heated debate in the Scottish Parliament about court closures saw Borders MSPs rounding on the Government's decision to close two local courts at Duns and Peebles and to warn against closing the remaining sheriff courts at Jedburgh and Selkirk.
Speaking during the 'Keeping Justice Local' debate, Jim Hume, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP for South Scotland, pointed out that SNP Ministers have it in their power to protect Selkirk and Jedburgh Sheriff Courts from further closures and expressed his deep frustration at the lack of government accountability on the issue.
Last summer Scottish Ministers laid the secondary legislation, or closure orders, before the Scottish Parliament's Justice Committee, chaired by Borders MSP Christine Grahame. The committee voted to close courts in Duns, Peebles, Haddington, Annan and Kirkcudbright.
An FOI request submitted by Mr Hume at the end of last year also uncovered a review that was being carried out into the future of Selkirk and Jedburgh Sheriff Courts, with a report due in the spring/early summer.
Speaking after the debate, Mr Hume said: "The SNP's instinctive lean towards removing key local services from rural communities is sadly evident across south Scotland with the closure of five courts in the region.
"The impact of closures hasn't been lost on constituents who have contacted me in their droves about fears for access to local justice. Those same people talk about their local towns being raided of yet another key facility hot on the heels of police counters and control rooms.
Conservative MSP John Lamont also spoke out against the closure of Duns Sheriff Court and condemned the current threat of closure hanging over Jedburgh and Selkirk Sheriff Courts because of the Scottish Court Service's feasibility survey to set up a 'Justice Centre' in Galashiels.
Mr Lamont said: "Alternatives to court closures exist, including moving courts to a part time basis and the better use of existing public buildings. In my constituency, to add insult to injury, the closure of Duns will only make relatively minor savings meaning an important local service will be lost for only a minimal gain to the Court Service's budget."
"Despite the withdrawal of justice from many towns in my constituency, the future of Jedburgh and Selkirk Sheriff Courts remain in doubt. The closure of Jedburgh and Selkirk Sheriff Courts would be devastating for the Borders."

An Avalanche of Anarchy Books News
Since January things have been mysteriously quiet, some would say suspiciously so, on the Anarchy Books front. I was working on the assumption that Andy Remic was busy completing his crazed experiments in attempting to create an author who would work for nothing and required minimal supervision. Turns out I was wrong…
April 6th, Good Friday, is also Good Anarchy Books Day! We're releasing not 1 – not 2, but 7 (YES SEVEN!) new novels, and for a limited period we're giving away our fabulous anthology VIVISEPULTURE for FREE!
Our new releases are New York Blues by Eric Brown (hardcore SF heavyweight!), A Jar of Wasps by Luis Villazon (whom you may know as a technical writer on PCFormat, MACFormat and TechRadar.com, so he certainly knows his tech SF [digital] onions!), Silversands and The Last Reef by Gareth L. Powell (rising star of contemporary SF), the gentle, beautiful fantasy Fynoderee by Alexander Caine-Duncan, and last but by no means least, Young Punks: A Tale of Anarchy in the UK, a fabulous oral history of growing up as punks in the 70s by BAFTA short-listed film director Paolo Sedazzari. And just to add to the fun, we'll also be releasing a soundtrack to Young Punks by a brilliant raw new punk band, The Mice, containing their stunning mad single Sex Shop.
Check out www.anarchy-books.com for more information, and for details of how to get your FREE NOVEL – VIVISEPULTURE, and a free copy of SEX SHOP.
VIVISEPULTURE – Welcome to our anthology, a collection of weird and bizarre tales by Neal Asher, Tony Ballantyne, Eric Brown, Richard Ford, Ian Graham, Lee Harris, Colin Harvey, Vincent Holland-Keen, James Lovegrove, Gary McMahon, Stan Nicholls, Andy Remic, Jordan Reyne, Ian Sales, Steven Savile, Wayne Simmons, Guy N. Smith, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Jeffrey Thomas, Danie Ware, Ian Watson and Ian Whates. Artwork by Vincent Chong.
In the tradition of Poe, Kafka, Borges and H. G. Wells, this collection of weird stories are written with the primary drive of presenting twisted deviations of normality. Whether it's the deviant factory workers of Neal Asher's Plastipak™ Limited, the pus-oozing anti-cherub of Ian Graham's Rotten Cupid, the acid-snot disgorging freak of Andy Remic's SNOT, or Ian Watson's alternate zombie-crucifixion, ZOMBIBLE, each story will drag your organs up through your oesophagus and give your brain a chilli-fired beating!

I be a creepeh chilling in my house. Watching the tv spectating other players being chased by cops/getting killed >:3. Yeah my character is evil like that. We did our time robbing/killing now we can chill in our 205k house. And look down on the lowly pessiants trying to make a living. jk. but yeah, right now is what i am doing. It is by far the best feature in the game to me. It's so fun to watch police chases and people killing each other. But then again my characters is more of a get away driver/sniper. So i am not ment to be in the thick of things. Just watch tv until i need to get into one of my cars to pick up a friend in need.
Sounds pretty cool; I'm looking forward to seeing that TV feature.
I do follow police chases in my car and often get involved trying to help my fellow gamer.
More often than not the favour is repaid by a bullet in my head or car crushing my body but hey ho!
Yeah it is really cool :3. You can also use a bunch of different visions. Some make it bright while others make colors brighter. I feel the game is very fun once you get a house. But then again i am more rping in this game. I knew it would be grindy and with all the mechinics and stuff in the game. I feel it makes it great to rp. I never done it before in a game beside gta samp tho :3. But i have to say it is diffently a ton of fun.. gta samp was the best mod ever released for a game hands down.

The Time Has Come
Well, friends, it's finally closing-time in the Reading Room. Some of us have enjoyed one another's company, in one form or another, for at least a dozen years. We've discussed best-sellers and neglected classics, argued about E-Readers, speculated about the future of the book, recalled childhood favorites, mourned the passing of Ray Bradbury, Gore Vidal and many other writers, and lamented the gradual disappearance of brick and mortal used bookshops. Just look down the archived posts and you'll see that we've covered dozens of other topics too. And even that substantial list leaves out the scores of earlier threads that are now somewhere in the bowels of the Post's computer system.
Last week I described why it seemed time to go. But, as I said then, my reviews will continue to come out in The Washington Post's Style section (on Thursdays) and in several other periodicals and online venues. I might particularly urge people to check out the weekly mini-essay I've been doing since the spring for the online home page of The American Scholar. "Browsings" appears each Friday. It's rather different from this forum in that it's just me, maundering on about this and that, usually with a literary theme lurking somewhere.
It's been said that lingering over good-byes merely prolongs the pain of parting. Some of me certainly will miss writing this column and reading your contributions—often far more insightful than my own initiating efforts. But who knows? I'm always up for new ventures, so we may all meet again some lucky day. Since I titled this sayonara column by quoting the opening of "The Walrus and the Carpenter," let me close with the last stanza of "The Hunting of the Snark" :
In the midst of the word he was trying to say,
In the midst of his laughter and glee,
He had softly and suddenly vanished away —
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
