About the place mat cassarole carrier, you have only one strap on it and I do not think that will be balanced to keep your cassarole from tipping from side to side and loosing it all together. Need two strapes criss-cross at bottom for full support.

After the so-called U-turn in Armenian foreign policy, the knowledge about possible consequences of the accession to Eurasian Customs Union also with respect to EU-Armenian relations is very low. Therefore the project "Armenia in Between EU and Eurasian Union", that was implemented in cooperation with Yerevan Press Club, aimed at raising awareness on integration processes. In five round table discussions and three seminars experts from different spheres have analyzed the possible consequences of Armenia's accession to Eurasian Customs Union for the region and the country. This was especially interesting in the light of the crises in Ukraine and the changing geopolitical landscape. The discussion offered a rare opportunity to debate questions of Eastern Partnership and of the Eurasian Union with relevant stakeholders.
The media landscape in Armenia does not always correspond to professional standards. However, in transition countries the quality of reporting is of crucial importance for the public awareness for social and political problems. In order to improve the quality of journalism, the Yerevan Press Club in cooperation with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung monitored articles of several national media on about 40 topics. In a weekly analytical review shortcomings and problems of accuracy were pointed out with the aim to raise awareness for problems in the field of reporting. The reviews were dedicated to topics such as socio-economic developments, local self-government reform, migration, environmental challenges, geopolitical choice of Armenia, etc.

Social democracy wants equal freedoms for everybody in the society - regardless of race, gender and social background. The video clip on the basics of Social Democracy outlines not only what social democracy means, but also shows a certain example, how the positive and negative rights are to be distinguished from each other.

On 13 and 14 December, the National Committee of the Helsinki Citizens Assembly, together with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Georgia, organized, a Georgian-Ukrainian-Russian Round Table at the Caucasian International University, with the participation of the representatives of public and government authorities, independent experts and diplomats from three countries. At the event, the ways and means to overcome the crisis in Ukraine were discussed. Despite the tense situation, the dialogue was created and different formats of cooperation on civil society level were planned.

In 2014, the Committee to Protect Freedom of Expression (CPFE) with the support of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) carried out the monitoring of official websites of state bodies of Armenia. Investigated was the level of information and the transparency of the websites. The results were published in three languages (Armenian, English and Russian). Presenting the originated publication on December 17 in Yerevan, issues and possible strategies with representatives of ministries, regional administrations, NGOs and journalists were discussed.
The publication in PDF format can be downloaded here.
Although on September 3, 2013 Armenian announced its intention to join the Eurasian Customs Union, European integration is declared by the government as an important vector in Armenia's policy. The choice to integrate with the CU is represented from the point of view of economic interest, however its political component and its impact on democratic development is concealed. The three-day workshop organized by FES and implemented by the Urban Foundation on 12.-15. December 2014 in Aghveran aimed at correcting information misbalance created by official media, and discussing economic and democratic development perspectives of Armenia in the Eurasian Economic Union and further integration with European structures. 35 young activists and students from 6 regions of Armenia had the chance of discussing these complicated issues with well known political experts. In the result of the workshop young participants received first-hand and updated information and became able to make their own judgment as active citizens.
The dominance of monopolies hampers the diversification of economics and the development of competition. Both have inhibitory effects on the economic development of countries. The society feels the impact of monopolies on every day basis, without necessarily being aware of itself. The simplified visualization of the relationships in the form of a video clip is to sensitize the population to the issues and also equip them for everyday debates regarding it.

Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Armenia
Politically interested young citizens have difficulties to orient themselves in the ideological chaos of political parties in Armenia. In addition, due to non-transparent structures and the lack of ideology and programs traditional parties in Armenia, do not present a political "home" for youngsters. Therefore, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Armenia invited about 45 young multipliers from different faculties of universities (law, economics , political science , linguistics, art, etc.) to learn and discuss the basics of social democracy within the framework of a 3-days seminar. From 07th - 09th and from 28 - 30th November 2014, the seminar participants, with the support of experienced trainers and innovative methodology, have attempted to determine their own position and the goal of their actions from the perspective of social democracy. In addition seminar participants had the opportunity to discuss acute themes like Constitutional reforms and integration in the Customs and European Unions with renowned Experts.

On 25. November 2014, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Georgia hosted the fifth International Conference on Social Dialogue and Labour Standards in Georgia.

This years Focus was the legal framework, the implementation of the new labor law, with a special emphasis on institutional development and the social dialogue at national and enterprise levels.

نيك خليجيات The writer said on the field of gender, many researchers say children are felt under a lot of biased view of gender by animation easily and in the ordinary because most of central characters are always boy in the animation; in addition the boy is often hero in the animation, which means the boys always hero, but the girls always passive, silence, and watch such as traditional Japanese women style which silence, passive, and follow with men. Where they differ is most search people don`t mind that the large companies aren`t there raising the cost of clicks, whereas affiliate marketers would love them to enter the fray so they could have more well-branded products to market. Does your trading system lose money?
Moreover, he said it�s the most astonishing phenomenon as compare with the traditional animations.
How to find out whether you need to learn Forex or not? They use the process of creating sites that convert -- both as sales and well-ranked pages in the search engines. نيك نار So easy to learn that most of my traders many who are also completely new to forex trading put Forex Gladiator to work only 1 day after learning it. Such education sources provides with the valuable lessons on when to enter a trade and when to exit from a trade and more.

Stair treads. I'd like to make some for my stairs and get rid of the old ugliest carpet you have ever seen. Any ideas. Thanks and happy new year.
We are also considering options for our carpet-worn staircase. I have seen oak replacement treads at Home Depot. The package includes the stair tread, which is a laminate and nosing, and backboard. You can purchase them with either a finished edge for an open staircase, or an unfinished edge for a staircase that is closed on both sides. The cost was around $34 per stair.

To to Obama and Nancy: Please set an example of Freedom not Tyranny
From the earliest days of the Republic, this nation's Founders believed that the United States had a special mission in the world. George Washington spoke of it on April 30, 1789, moments after taking the oath of office as first President of the United States. "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." The success of their experiment, these early Americans hoped, would hasten the spread of liberty around the globe.
In the first century following the Declaration of Independence, movements in France, Belgium, Poland, Norway, Switzerland, as well as in Venezuela, Mexico, and Argentina drew both inspiration and practical lessons from the American Revolution and its landmark documents. During the nineteenth century, the adoption of written constitutions often accompanied changes in governments in Europe and Latin America.
In 1917, there were approximately a dozen democracies in the world. Today, there are more than one hundred, and most of them have written constitutions. While the charters of many of these nations vary greatly from the U.S. Constitution, its endurance and stability has surely lent encouragement and credibility to the cause of freedom-loving people everywhere who have labored to throw off tyrannical regimes and devise for themselves a system of self-determination and government based on the consent of the governed.
Jobs now idea...........Mention this in your state of the union address............
Very respectfully,
robert l. Huffstutter.
Fire Kevin Jennings
President Obama has appointed Kevin Jennings, founder of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) — which sponsored the conference that produced the notorious "Fistgate" scandal (in which young teens were guided on how to perform dangerous homosexual perversions including "fisting") — to head up "Safe Schools" efforts at the Department of Education. Jennings is a vicious, anti-religious bigot who once said "[F–k] 'em" to the "Religious Right." He supports promoting homosexuality and gender confusion as normative to even young students. He made that comment in a New York City church. TAKE ACTION: Urge your U.S. Congressman and Senators to call for the withdrawal of Jennings' appointment at the Education Department. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121.
Galatians 5:19-21 for by and by
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

This may not work for Germany, where the Simpsons is dubbed into German* (the horror...), but there's something hilarious, and odd, about this Actor's Studio interview of the Simpsons voice actors (h/t MTW):
We must invent a word for 'the eerie feeling which arises from seeing real humans producing the voices of well-known animated characters or voice-dubbed movie stars.' Germans get many more chances to savor this feeling, since all major stars are always dubbed by the same voice actor (for instance, Nicholas Cage in Germany is spoken by Martin Keßler (g)). Many of these voice actors become stars in their own right. This can lead to the phenomenon of Martin Keßler sounding more like 'Nicholas Cage' to Germans than Nicholas Cage himself ever could.
I get the feeling that German is the most practical language for creating this word. Perhaps Zeichentrickfilmsynchronstimmenwirklichkeitsentfremdung?

DEFINITION of 'General Equilibrium Theory'
General equilibrium theory studies supply and demand fundamentals in an economy with multiple markets, with the objective of proving that all prices are at equilibrium. The theory analyzes the mechanism by which the choices of economic agents are coordinated across all markets.
General equilibrium theory is distinguished from partial equilibrium theory by the fact that it attempts to look at several markets simultaneously rather than a single market in isolation.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'General Equilibrium Theory'
The theory was first proposed by French economist Leon Walras in the 1870s, while the modern concept of general equilibrium was developed jointly by Arrow, Debreu and McKenzie in the 1950s. From the 1970s onwards, technological advances and increases in computing power made it possible to develop models for national economies and attempt empirical solutions for general equilibrium prices and quantities.

And I only got thru 3/4 of the 10x30 part!! I probably have three more loads to go! Here is a pic of the Art Room...with the concrete leaves I am working on for my birdbath. Just went and got a new pump and hose for it! Tweeking the leaves to hold water better and also drain better. I am thinking I would like to get this birdbath up and running, then mosaic the base with slate. I ran across 4 boxes of smashed slate pcs that I will use for the birdbath and am also remembering that I wanted to mosaic my raised concrete garden bed.(Stones,marbles/slate)
Also, on Sept 7th, there is a gathering of mosaic artists here in town and so I am thinking of gathering up a bunch of tesserae to give away, AND to maybe have a wiremesh/concrete workshop! So I had better get cracking with the clean up!
Here is a link that might be useful: Art Room
Wanna see that birdbath up and running. FOCUS on that, please. How are you tweeking them to hold more water??? What is your basin for holding the water and the pump? I sooooo w/love to make one of these. I could make the leaves and have one of my yard men install it. I assume your basin w/be underground? How much water w/it hold? I have a place where it w/look great - in front of the plaque w/the faces in back of the house.
Your art studio looks wonderful..I win the prize for the most cluttered/unorganized for sure!


text: Mobile Samsung must reveal sales data in its epic Apple court battle January 2, 2013 8:18 AM John Koetsier 0 Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015. GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Just over a month after winning the right to see details of Apple's licensing deal with HTC, Samsung must reveal some of its private data to Apple. Justice Lucy Koh has denied the Korean company's bid to keep detailed sales data private, according to Bloomberg. Samsung wanted to know more about how HTC is licensing key patents from Apple to cover its Android phones. Apple wants to know exactly how many models of its many smartphones Samsung has sold in the U.S., which would of course have financial repercussions in the billion-dollar judgment that Apple won against Samsung almost half a year ago, and that Apple has been trying to increase ever since. Koh's judgment means that Apple will get data on model sales, but it will not see exact channel pricing or profit margin details. Interestingly, in October last year, Koh had granted Samsung to not only get data on model sales, but also the right to see key iPhone profitability data. This latest round just adds to the complexity of the relationship between the two largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. Apple and Samsung are enemies and partners, as Apple still sources some key components from the massive multinational manufacturer — such as the iPhone 5's central processing unit and screens for some of its phones. Since late last year, Samsung has alternately played hardball and softball, first saying that it would not pay Apple royalties and then unilaterally dropping patent injunctions against Apple in Europe. With these two latest private data reveals, this is turning into a unwilling corporate equivalent of an adolescent show-me-yours-I'll-show-you-mine. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry wishes Samsung and Apple would just get a room. Which is precisely what Koh called for in December, telling the two warring companies that "it's time for global peace."

Reagan picking up speed; critical two weeks ahead
The race for the Republican presidential nomination has reached the crucial point. After viewing results from primaries in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, most political observers conclude that Ronald Reagan is poised to take the prize unless some rival steps in quickly to snatch it from him.
Meanwhile, new polls show that Rep. John B. Anderson of Illinois seems ready to jolt former California Governor Reagan in next week's Illinois primary.
And Gerald Ford may any day now launch what clearly would be a stop-Reagan effort.
George Bush, overwhelmed by Reagan landslides in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, remains a factor in the race. But Mr. Bush needs some victories soon or his campaign will slip to the place where he will be forced to follow Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. and John B. Connally out of the contest.
The big question being mulled by politicians and political pundits at this moment is: If Mr. Ford decides to run, can he win?
Should the former President announce before March 14 (in time to file for entry into the Nebraska primary), he could enter 14 primaries with a potential 617 delegates. A total of 998 is needed to win the nomination at the convention.
Should Mr. Ford miss the Nebraska primary, which seems likely, he could well be entered in 13 primaries that select 592 delegates. But this would mean that he would miss 23 of the 36 GOP primaries.
So Mr. Ford would need help from the other candidates -- from Messrs. Anderson and Bush -- if he is going to take the nomination away from Mr. Reagan.
At this point, both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bush are saying quite firmly that they are seeking the nomination for themselves and have no intention of throwing their support to the former President.

If he had been off he could not have be in a fair tussle with ledley king to get a dubious pen.
But someone else might have been there! Playing with 10 men may have caused City to raise their game and they might have scored 4. We'll never know
Question Author
agree we will never know but stiil Spurs will feel hard done by and it will be a long way back to get in the title chase .I do honestly think they are a better side than the side that got a bad decision in their favour yesterday .Never thought I d say it but hope its man utdwho win the title if it can be the Spurs .
I for one think he should have walked and would be quite happy to see a replay, and another replay and another replay until Spurs won that fixture.
But never going to happen... Football is full of 'if, buts and maybes' there's very little that can be done after the fact except for the charges by the FA brought to the offending player.
It may galvanise Spurs. They are a good side.
^I agree, the league is far from over. plenty more twists and turns to had I'm sure. (sorry for the cliché)
As long as Spurs don't win it I'll be happy.
As with most red cards and especially retrospective bans such as the one Baleotelli should receive, it is not the team who are the opponents on the day who get any advantage. It is the teams in the following fixtures.
Would you support a rule change that a 3 match ban for a red card should be the next two matches and the last one carries to the fixture when the same two teams meet again. That would mean the team that were the 'victim' of fouls/cheating/getting players injurred would reap some of the advantage of the offending player not being allowed to play.
Balotelli will no doubt be punished,deservedly so...He is young,so we should cut him some slack.
There were some tasty tackles on him,especially by Scott Parker,and Balotelli was giving as good as he got!
SuperMario is wonderful to watch!..the Prem needs his skills!

..er..been on the wine gums,dtgblue?..gettin" a little maudlin there..lol
I am a big fan of Balotelli and he is very skillful on the field and entertaining off it. Football needs player like him, he is a 'character'.
But the foul on Parker was deliberate. It was not a natural motion and accidental, he knew the player was down and the back heel studs in the face was meant. He seemed genuinely apologetic afterwards, but the initial, spur of the moment action was nasty and should be punished.
He is young, and he will learn, and hopefully entertain us for many more seasons - without this wrecklessness.
copy that,Gromit!
I was at the game and didn't think he deserved to be even booked. His team mates went to him afterwards and he just gave an expression of, I have done nothing wrong. Trial by television?
weecalf, get a ticket sit there in the freezing cold, watch the game, form an opinion and then talk about it
yes a lot of robust defending around Balotelli..Spurs were only to aware of the danger he posed..and in a flash he reacted in kind..there was definitely a "bit of afters"..but the game was balanced on a knife edge,both Teams thought they could "nick it"..Impetuosity by Mario,and giving as good as he got!..cracking Match though!..perhaps 2-2 would have been fair,but hey!
only *too* aware!

Opening ceremony and Gothenburg exploration
... tournament. Might of had a little break down/ tear in the shower after this. To finish the day we had the opening ceremony. I was still in a pretty pooey mood but I tried to enjoy it. I didn't take any photos (sorry friend) but I will find some on Facebook when I get home for you :) wouldn't call it a very special ceremony- most of it was in Swedish although it was very cool to see a few thousand people pack out the town square for it.

Our bus to take us into Gothenburg was scheduled for 11:00 and conveniently, the stop was just down the road.

hmm, religion has always been a sensitive topic and i think it would remain that way forever unless all the people in the world followed one religion only. as for teaching religion at school, i think it wouldnt be a good idea to teach it at public schools since a lot of kids there come from different religious beliefs. but as for private schools, i think there wouldnt be a problem especially when the parents and students are fully aware of the kind of religion the school is teaching.
i dont think it would be a good idea to totally separate religion from education. in fact, its the best way to teach students, by providing a religious point of view in explaining the way of the world.

LIFE to EAGLE SCOUT PROCEDURES GUIDE MATTAPONI DISTRICT NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA (www.boyscouts-ncac.org) 2003 2 May 01 Ver 1.1 FOREWORD This Life to Eagle Procedures Guide is primarily addressed to Scouters helping Life Scouts earn their Eagle rank. This guide should be provided to each Eagle candidate so that he fully understands the procedures that must be followed. The guidelines have been outlined to ensure a smooth process for the Scout, the Troop leadership, the District, the local Council, and the volunteers who conduct the Eagle Boards of Review. These guidelines have been adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the roles and responsibilities of Scouts and Scouters from the Mattaponi District. The District Advancement Committee exists to serve the Scouts and Scouters. The names in this guide refer to those adults currently serving on the Mattaponi District Advancement Committee. The committee does not impose additional standards or requirements for rank advancement but ensures adherence to the requirements established by National and Council level authorities. Additional information on advancement can be found in Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures published by BSA National Headquarters. Even though this guide addresses commonly asked questions and issues encountered in completing the necessary steps to advance from Life to Eagle, it is not intended to answer all of them. If a Troop leader or an Eagle candidate is unsure of a particular step or requirement, do not hesitate to call your Mattaponi District Advancement Coordinator or the District Eagle Board Coordinator. A few minutes in phone calls at the right time can save days or weeks of confusion, with only the Eagle candidate on the losing end. Life-to-Eagle orientations can be presented to the Troop per requests from the Scoutmasters or the Troop Advancement Chairpersons. (Note: Schedule these orientations through the District Advancement Chairman). All Life Scouts, parents of Life Scouts, and Scouters are highly encouraged to attend these orientations. In addition to providing all of the most current information on the Eagle Scout service project and requirements, the orientations provide the opportunity to address recent issues and answer questions. NOTE: If a Scout has permanent physical or mental disabilities, he may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many required merit badges as he can and qualifying for alternative merit badges for the rest. If a Scout wants to become an Eagle Scout under this procedure, a special application must be submitted to the Mattaponi District Advancement Committee. The application must then be approved by the National Capital Area Council Advancement Committee BEFORE THE SCOUT CAN WORK ON ALTERNATIVE MERIT BADGES. For any advancement questions, please contact the Mattaponi District Advancement Chairman, Mr. Joe Powell, (540) 898-2710, or District Eagle Board Coordinator, Mr. Rick Rowdon, (540) 752-2103. i/ii MATTAPONI DISTRICT LIFE-TO-EAGLE PROCEDURES GUIDE NOTE: Steps 1 thru 6 are the sole responsibility of the Scout to coordinate, execute, and complete prior to his 18th birthday. 1. Eagle Rank: To advance to the rank of Eagle, while a Life Scout, a boy must complete all requirements of tenure; demonstrate Scouting spirit; obtain all required merit badges; hold positions of responsibility; plan, develop, and provide leadership to others in a service project; and participate in a Scoutmaster conference. Requirements of tenure: The requirements of tenure means a minimum of 6 months active membership (not necessarily consecutive) in the Troop since the Life Board of Review date. Merit badges: The merit badges refer to the required and elective merit badges, as listed in the current edition of the Boy Scout Requirements book. Positions of responsibility: The positions refer to a total of 6 months active service in one or more specified positions of leadership since the Life Board of Review. The eligible positions are listed in the current Boy Scout Handbook. It should be noted that the key to fulfilling the requirements is active participation. 2. Service Project Proposal: The Eagle candidate must select his Eagle service project and have the project proposal approved by his Scoutmaster (or designee), Troop Committee Member, Benefiting Organization, and reviewed and approved by the Mattaponi District Advancement Chairman (or designee). (See attachment A for a step-by-step checklist for project completion.) Eagle Service Project Proposal: The Eagle candidate must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook (BSA Pub No. 18-927). The most current edition of the workbook can be obtained by calling the National Capital Area Council (NCAC) Program Office at (301) 530-9360, or it can downloaded from the Internet at bsa.scouting.org website. The workbook provides details on project requirements and a format that gives the Scout a step-by-step guide through the process, all the way to writing the report. His first task is to prepare and submit a project proposal as denoted in the workbook. The project is reviewed and approved by a representative from the organization benefiting from the project, the Scoutmaster (or a designated counselor), a Troop committee member, and finally the last signature is by the Mattaponi District Advancement Chairman (or designee). There are designated adults throughout the District counties to assist in the project approval process, contact the Mattaponi District Advancement Chairman, Mr. Joe Powell, 540-898-2710, to obtain the current list. These signatures must be in place BEFORE THE PROJECT IS STARTED. The Eagle 1 candidate will make the initial contacts and do preliminary project planning as part of the project proposal preparation, and then obtain the approvals outlined above prior to starting work on the project itself. The workbook will be used for writing up the proposal and getting the necessary approvals. All signatures, dates, and write ups will begin in the workbook with extra pages added as necessary. The workbook with the approved project proposal should be kept in a safe place since it is part of the required documentation. If a significant change is necessary after the project proposal has been approved, a revised proposal should be submitted in a new workbook with all new signatures. Minor changes do not need to go through this process. What constitutes a significant change is hard to define and must be handled on a case-by-case basis. If in doubt, contact the Mattaponi District Advancement Chairman for clarification. 3. Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook: The workbook must be properly filled out. (See attachment B for a checklist for a completed project workbook.) Service Project Report: This report is included in the workbook under the sections headed Carrying Out and Notes. The report must contain the following information: • What was the project? Use maps, charts, diagrams, and pictures to help supplement the text. • What was the significance of the project, and how did it benefit others? Information included in the proposal section of the workbook, that has not changed, need not be repeated in the report section. • What was involved in identifying and setting up the project (planning and organizing)? • Who provided guidance and advice on the project (e.g., representative of the benefiting organization, advisors on the technical aspects of the project, etc.?) • Who helped carry out the project and how much time was spent? • What materials, equipment, or tools were used and how were they obtained? • Other aspects such as safety, transportation, refreshments, etc., should be discussed. • There is no length requirement for project reports. The report should be long enough to get the point across. Additional pages can be inserted in the workbook if the Scout runs out of room in the space provided. Remember all text should start in the workbook and then additional sheets, photographs, maps, charts, etc., are to be added as necessary to complete the report. 2 MOST IMPORTANT: Major emphasis should be placed in explaining how the Eagle candidate carried out the project in terms of planning, developing the project, and demonstrating leadership to others. This can include how leadership was used to get the job done, what worked and what didn't work, lessons learned from the project, and perhaps what would have been done differently if it had to be done over again. 4. Eagle Scout Rank Application: It is imperative that all requirements for the Eagle rank be completed prior to the candidate's 18th birthday. When all requirements for the rank of Eagle, including the service project, have been completed, an Eagle Scout Rank Application must be filled out. (See attachment B for a checklist for a completed application.) NCAC has delegated the review of the Eagle Scout Rank Application to the District. The official (red, white, blue) Eagle Scout Rank Application must be used. This application can be obtained from the NCAC Program Office (301) 530-9360. To help alleviate some common pitfalls in filling out the application, the following guidelines are provided: • Make sure the complete mailing address is included for the references. • Be sure that all references were notified and permission granted to use personal information on the form. • Do not use any abbreviations, except state abbreviations. • Always include the day when recording dates and use month, day, year format. • Use board or review dates for rank advancement. • List the date the merit badge counselor signed the card. • Leadership positions held as a Life Scout are the only acceptable positions for the application. • A statement of the Scout's ambitions and life purpose, and a listing of positions held in his religious institution, school, camp, community, or other organizations during which he demonstrated leadership skills. Include honors and awards received during this service. This is Requirement 6, and is written on separate sheets of paper and submitted with the application. • Make sure that all entries are clearly legible. 3 5. Troop Review: The Scoutmaster at the proper place (Signature of Unit Leader) must sign the Eagle Scout Rank Application. This process generally serves as the Scoutmaster's conference, but the Scoutmaster may hold a separate individual conference with the Scout as well. The Troop committee chairman also reviews and approves the record of the Eagle candidate by signing the application (Signature of Unit Committee Chairman). Both of these signatures must be in place before the Eagle candidate appears before the District Eagle Board of Review. After the Scout has completed his workbook, and the application, he should meet with the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, or Troop committee member to review the application, and all supporting documentation for accuracy of dates and completeness. When the package has been finalized and all Troop reviews satisfied, the Scoutmaster, Scout, and a Troop Committee Chairman must sign the application form. Recordkeeping: Recordkeeping is a critical element in the Eagle advancement program. The records used for this review are as follows: • TroopMaster printout signed by the Troop Advancement Chairman verifying the correctness and accuracy of merit badge and advancement dates. • Blue Merit Badge Application Cards signed off by the merit badge counselor. Note: The date when the counselor signed the card for completion is the date used on the front of the Eagle Scout application. • The Scout's Boy Scout Handbook with the rank requirements signed off and dated. • The Rank Advancement or Merit Badge Recognition Cards usually handed out at a Troop court of honor. All of the supporting advancement records, the Eagle application, the Life Purpose and Ambition statement, the list of extracurricular activities outside of Scouting, and the service project workbook with all supporting documentation should be organized in an appropriate loose leaf notebook. This package is referred to as the Eagle package and is used to help facilitate further reviews by the District. NOTE: The signatures of the Troop adult leaders verify the accuracy of all information on the application in relation to the Troop's records and completeness of the service project package. 6. District Review: Upon completion of all Troop reviews the Eagle candidate submits the Eagle package to the District Eagle Board Coordinator for review. Upon receiving final reviews and signatures at the Troop level the Scout may now contact the Mattaponi District Eagle Board Coordinator, Mr. Rick Rowdon, (540) 752- 2103, or his designee, for District review. 4 The Scoutmaster or a Troop committee member should ensure that the District Eagle Board Coordinator receives the Eagle package for review approximately two weeks prior to the desired Eagle Board of Review date. The Eagle package will be left with the District Eagle Board Coordinator for an initial review to verify that the package is complete and ready for a board of review. It may be necessary for the Scout to meet with the District Eagle Board Coordinator to provide clarification of any issues as felt necessary to complete the package. It is hopeful that the Troop reviews were thorough and that any changes to the package at this point would be minor. NOTE: The Eagle candidate's current registration in scouting must be verified by the District. The Eagle candidate should have his personal registration card. The Troop records should also reflect the candidate's registration status. Eagle Package: A complete Eagle package consists of six items. The Mattaponi District will not convene an Eagle Board of Review until all six items are provided. (1) Eagle Scout Rank Application: A completed original application (red, white, and blue form). The most current version must be used. (2) Requirement 6, Eagle Scout Rank Application: Statements of the Scout's ambitions and life purpose, and a listing of participation in his religious institution, school, camp, community, or other organizations during which he demonstrated leadership skills. Include honors and awards received. (3) Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook: A completed workbook with all signatures, dates, photographs, proposal descriptions and a final report describing how the project was carried out and highlighting how leadership was demonstrated. (4) Advancement Report Form (Form 4403B): The Eagle Scout is the only entry shown for advancement. (5) Supporting Advancement Records: These records may include, but may not be limited to Troop Master printouts, Blue Merit badge Application cards, Rank Advancement or Merit Badge Recognition Cards. (6) References: Letters of reference must be provided for use by the board of review. These reference letters should be (however, not required) from the people listed as references on the front of the Eagle application. Four references must be listed and three letters from any of the four, or others who know the Scout (not family members) are expected. (See attachment C for a copy of the District reference letter.) Reference Checks: The candidate should have contacted those individuals listed as references on the Eagle application to seek permission before including their names on the application. The candidate should not be involved personally in transmitting any 5 correspondence between the Troop or District and persons listed as references. A general request for a letter of reference has been developed for use in reference checks (see attachment C). This form (along with a self-addressed envelop to the Scoutmaster) may be sent to the references listed on the Eagle application (except for family members), or a Troop leader, or a Troop committee member, or other references that may not have been listed on the application. The references should deal with the candidate's qualifications and fitness to be an Eagle Scout and should be returned to the Scoutmaster or a Troop committee member. A minimum of three reference letters must be included in the Eagle package for the District review. An additional letter from the organization benefiting from the candidate's Eagle project certifying completion of the Eagle candidate's service project is desirable. NOTE: Steps 7 thru 11 are executed by Mattaponi District, NCAC, and National BSA personnel. 7. Eagle Board of Review: After the District reviews are completed, the Eagle Board Coordinator shall forward the package to the designated chairperson responsible for conducting the District Eagle Board of Review.. The District Eagle Board Coordinator, or his designee, must review the total package and verify that the advancement guidelines of the Boy Scouts of America were met and that the package is complete. The Coordinator will use a checklist (attachment B) to ensure that all requirements are met. The Coordinator will notify the Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Chairman when the package review is complete; at which time an agreed upon date for the Eagle Board of Review will be decided. 8. Eagle Board Members: The Board of Review for an Eagle candidate is composed of at least three, but not more than six members. One member serves as chairman. Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, relatives, or guardians may not serve as members of a Scout's Board or Review. At least one District representative must be a member of the board. The Scoutmaster, and or a representative from the Troop committee will work with the District Eagle Board Coordinator to generate an approved cast of board members. The Troop representative will coordinate Troop members for the board, and the District Eagle Board Coordinator will coordinate the District representative 9. The Eagle Board of Review Process: The candidate's Scoutmaster introduces him to the members of the Board of Review. The Scoutmaster may remain in the room, but does not participate in the board of review. The Scoutmaster may be called on to clarify a point in question. In no case should a relative or guardian of the candidate attend the review, even as a Troop leader. There is no predetermined set of questions that an 6 Eagle candidate should be asked. However, the board should be assured of the candidate's participation in and understanding of the program. This is the highest award that a boy may achieve and experiences in Scouting should be considered. After the review, the candidate and his Scoutmaster leave the room while the board members discuss the acceptability of the candidate as an Eagle Scout. The decision must be unanimous. If the candidate meets the requirements, he is asked to return and is informed that he will receive the board's recommendation for the Eagle award. If the candidate is found unacceptable, he is asked to return and is told the reasons for his failure to qualify. A discussion should be held with him as to how he may meet the requirements within a given period. Should the applicant disagree with the decision, the appeal procedures should be explained to him. A follow up letter must be sent to the Scout confirming the agreements reached on the action(s) necessary for the advancement. If the Scout chooses to appeal, the board will provide the name and address of the person to contact. Immediately after the Board of Review, the Eagle Scout Rank Application and the Advancement Report Form are signed and dated by the appropriate board members. The entire Eagle package is sent to NCAC (Bethesda) for further processing. The Troop committee is responsible for arranging delivery of the approved Eagle package to Council. NCAC requests that the character reference letters not be forwarded as part of the package. These letters should be retained by the Troop or destroyed; under no circumstances do the letters go to the Eagle candidate. 10. NCAC Service Center: When the Eagle package arrives at NCAC, Bethesda, the Scout executive signs it to certify that the proper procedures have been followed and that the Board of Review has recommended the candidate for the Eagle Scout rank. NCAC retains the Eagle package and all other documentation. These items will be returned to the Scout prior to his court of honor. Only the Eagle Scout application is forwarded to the National Eagle Scout Service Center (Irving, TX). When the package is delivered at NCAC, the green sheet from the Advancement Form (4403B) is retained for the Troop's record as a receipt of transfer to the Council. 11. National Eagle Scout Service Center: National screens the application to ascertain information such as signature, positions of responsibility, tenure between ranks, and age of the candidate. Any item not meeting national standards will cause the application to be returned for more information. If the application is in order, National on behalf of the National Council then certifies the Scout as an Eagle Scout. Notice of approval is given by sending the Eagle Scout certificate to NCAC. The date used on the certificate will be the date of the Board of Review. NCAC, upon receiving confirmation from National will mail a postcard to the candidate's Scoutmaster. At this time, the Eagle Scout package and Eagle award will be available for pick up at NCAC 7 (Bethesda). The Eagle Scout court of honor should not be scheduled until the Scoutmaster receives the postcard confirming that the Eagle rank has been approved. It is the individual Troop's policy and procedures as to who picks up the approved package and who coordinates the court of honors. Things to Think About! Life-to-Eagle Conferences can help to eliminate a great deal of misinformation. If you as a Troop leader, committee member, or even a parent are uncomfortable in understanding the Life-to-Eagle process then it is your responsibility to do something about it! Resources exist within the Mattaponi District to hold Troop-level orientations, and it is highly recommended that these orientations be scheduled for those Scouts (and parents) who are about to take that next step in becoming an Eagle Scout. Remember it is always the Scout who loses in the end. Contact Mr. Powell (540-898-2710) to have these orientations scheduled. There is another area in which problems have occurred, it deals with recordkeeping and dates as discussed in earlier steps. Troops have allowed Scouts to advance to the next rank without having the time in rank or not having held a leadership position for the requisite period of time (at least four months from First Class to Star, six months from Star to Life). In most cases, the date for one or more merit badges for a rank is after the records show that they earned the rank. This is often because the court of honor date is recorded rather than the date the counselor signed off on the merit badges. Careful monitoring of the advancement process/Scout's progress is the responsibility of each adult Troop leader, and Troop committee member, not just the Troop's Advancement Chairperson. 8 MATTAPONI DISTRICT STEPS TO COMPLETING LIFE-TO-EAGLE STEP 1 Once you have achieved the rank of Life Scout, identify a service project that IS: Interesting Challenging Provides opportunity for leadership. Not just organizing and planning, but directing others. IS NOT: Of benefit to the Boy Scouts of America, a money-making activity 2 Obtain a notebook to keep detailed records of your activities. 3 Make initial contact with the benefiting organization.

The application MUST be an original. 5 Discuss the project concept with your Troop leader (Scoutmaster, Team Coach, or Crew Advisor) and obtain his/her approval. 6 Return to your contact person with the benefiting organization to obtain details concerning the scope, schedule, materials, safety hazards, etc. Note: You should allow at least one month to properly plan, schedule, and organize your project. Schedule a rain date (just in case you need one). There should be no "out of pocket" expenses by anyone associated with your project. If the materials are not provided by the benefiting organization, obtain Troop leader guidance and approval on contacting merchants to donate the necessary materials or organize and conduct a fund-raiser to pay for your project's materials. Pay close attention to and address all safety hazards associated with your project. 7 Write up the project's purpose and planning details. Depending on the type of project, you may need to obtain technical advice from various adults on certain aspects of your project. Obtain approval in this specific order from: NOTE: DO NOT START YOUR PROJECT BEFORE EACH SIGNATURE IS OBTAINED!! ➤ The benefiting organization ➤ Your Troop leader ➤ Your Troop Committee Member ➤ The District Advancement Committee Representative (Contact Mr. Joe Powell, (540) 898-2710) 8 Develop and organize your project: NOTE: TAKE A LOT OF PRE-PROJECT PHOTOS. ➤ Implement the schedule developed ➤ Obtain and prepare materials, including the necessary tools ➤ Delegate!

Obtain a letter of completion from the benefiting organization (desired—not required). 13 Complete your Eagle Service Project Workbook and Eagle Scout Rank Application and get it reviewed and approved through your Troop. 14 Assemble your Eagle package for further District review, this package includes: ➤ Eagle Scout Rank Application, including Requirement 6 ➤ Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook ➤ Advancement Form (4403B) ➤ Advancement Records (Merit Badge Cards, Rank Advancement cards, etc.) ➤ Reference Letters (Letters are not handled by the Scout) 15 Contact the Mattaponi District Eagle Board Coordinator (Mr. Rick Rowdon, 540-752-2103) and take your approved Eagle package to him. 16 Make any corrections the Coordinator suggests, if required. 17 Eagle Board of Review will be scheduled by the District Eagle Board Coordinator and the Troop Representative. 18 Participate in an Eagle Board of Review Attachment A MATTAPONI DISTRICT CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETE EAGLE PACKAGE EAGLE SCOUT RANK APPLICATION ____ All information legible (preferably typed) ____ Applicant's name spelled correctly ____ Applicant's address has NO ABBREVIATIONS (except state) ____ Unit type, local number, and location has NO ABBREVIATIONS (except state) ____ Accurate dates for entry into Scouting and for First Class, Star Scout, and Life Scout Boards of Review ____ Webelos Scout and Arrow of Light questions answered ____ At least 4 months between First Class and Star Scout Board of Review dates ____ At least 6 months between Star Scout and Life Scout Board of Review dates ____ Date of Birth ____ Verify age (Eagle Board of Review date prior to 18th Birthday) ____ (REQUIREMENT 1) At least 6 months between Life Scout and Eagle Scout Board of Review dates ____ (REQUIREMENT 2) Reference blanks completed (include city, state, zip code, area code, and phone number) ____ (REQUIREMENT 3) 21 merit badges, either Emergency Preparedness or Lifesaving; Cycling or Hiking or Swimming (2 of 3) is crossed out ____ Any 4 required merit badges and a total of 11 merit badges earned prior to Life Scout Board of Review date ____ Any 7 required merit badges and total of 11 merit badges earned prior to Life Scout Board of Review date ____ (REQUIREMENT 4) Served for a minimum of 6 months in a leadership position(s) (application lists authorized positions) between Life Scout and Eagle Scout Board of Review dates ____ (REQUIREMENT 5) Eagle Scout Service Project begun and completed between Life Scout and Eagle Scout Board of Review dates (and prior to 18th birthday if waiver granted) ____ (REQUIREMENT 6) Statement of Ambitions and Life Purpose and list of Leadership Positions, Activities, and Honors attached to Eagle Scout Rank Application ____ Scoutmaster's Conference date prior to Scout's 18th birthday ____ Applicant's signature and date ____ Unit Leader's signature and date ____ Unit Committee Chairperson's signature and date ____ Verify Eagle Scout candidate is currently BSA registered (registration card or Troop roster) ____ Signatures of Eagle Scout Board of Review Chairperson and District Advancement Committee Representative and dates ____ Character reference letter (if required by District) are not to be forwarded to Council Attachment B MATTAPONI DISTRICT CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETE EAGLE PACKAGE (Continued) EAGLE SCOUT LEADERSHIP SERVICE PROJECT WORKBOOK ____ Cover page complete ____ Signatures on page 6 ____ Project write-up (details on how leadership was demonstrated) ____ Pictures (before, during, after) and captions to describe the photos ____ List of who worked on project (names, dates, and time worked) ____ List of materials and equipment used, source, and cost ____ Changes in the project (if any) ____ Completed time spent section ____ All required signatures ____ Completion letter from benefiting organization (desired) ADVANCEMENT REPORT FORM (Form 4403B) ____ The Eagle Scout's name is the only entry for rank advancement ____ Scoutmaster's address is used (NCAC notifies this person upon package approval) SUPPORTING ADVANCEMENT RECORDS (may include but not limited to the below items) ____ Merit Badge blue cards or recognition cards ____ Rank advancement cards ____ Troop records such as, Troop Master printouts (signed by the Troop Advancement Chair) ____ Boy Scout Handbook with signatures as required for advancement REFERENCES ____ Three Letters of reference from the people listed on the application or other people (excluding relatives) who know the Scout.

The Gist
From Our Editors
Phantom Fireworks first burst onto the scene more than three decades ago. Today, the company lights up backyards of America from coast-to-coast with more than 1,200 permanent and temporary locations.
Much like its products, Phantom?s employees frequently take to the skies. They travel around the globe in search of the industry's latest ground and aerial displays before returning home with rockets, missiles, fountains, and aerial repeaters. From there, an extensive in-house testing program takes over, checking each item's safety before it?s sold to the public.
That testing program is just one of Phantom?s pillars of safety. The company also holds memberships with multiple pyrotechnics organizations, and it offers customers additional information about fireworks laws and history through its Fireworks University.

Santa Claus Comes to Town . . . and Other Christmas Trimmings
For sheer size and sense of fun, the big winner in Georgetown's Christmas decorations has to go to Jack Davies of Prospect Street. His 20-feet-tall, inflated Santa Claus waves, "Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas" from the back of his house with its grand vista of the Potomac River to all entering D.C. from Virginia. While many Georgetown homes are trimmed from evergreens, red ribbons and small lights, Davies's Santa makes for a happy surprise.
