Dion Fortune, Crowley & World War II
Dion Fortune took a keen interest in the progress of Crowley's Thoth Tarot, visiting him in Hastings with Frieda Harris to examine the artwork. Crowley dedicated a copy of the Book of Thoth to her. Dion Fortune was a true fighter, working magically to defeat Hitler. Did she know some of the secrets encoded in Crowley's tarot deck?
I have done the 10 of Swords & promptly Russia takes up arms.
Letter from Lady Frieda Harris to Aleister Crowley
For the most part, Tarot is equated with fortune telling, but for those who know, for those who have the knowledge, the power, and the insight; for those Masters, Tarot can be the springboard for creating and managing change in the world.
In the chaos, destruction and misery of war, extraordinary magical feats are performed by individuals and groups as old structures are torn down to be replaced by the new. The Book of Thoth was designed by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris during the Second World War in England, despite paper and artist material shortages, restrictions on travel, and all the other problems of living in war conditions. The Book of Thoth can be seen as a Thelemic expression of the Book of the Law, or Liber AL, which is liberally quoted in the Book of Thoth. Crowley pointed out on many occasions that publication of Liber AL preceded war. Liber AL contains a vision of the New Age that would come out of war.
At the same time in London, Dion Fortune was doing her bit for the war effort, fighting Nazi Occultists on the astral planes, and introducing raw recruits to advanced occult visualization techniques. We know Dion Fortune visited Crowley in Hastings, and discussed his Tarot designs, but how much did he assist in her own work?
Dion Fortune, initiate of the Golden Dawn, founder of the Community of the Inner Light, had, amongst other things, an extraordinary attraction to Glastonbury and the Arthurian legends that hold the destiny of England. From the beginning of World War II, Dion Fortune determined to do her own work for the war effort, and recruited members of the public to practice what were essentially Golden Dawn visualization techniques to magically strengthen morale and defence of England and her Allies. Every Sunday lunchtime they were required to meditate on a particular theme relating to national and racial archetypes contained in the weekly letters. As well as the instructions that developed in complexity over the weeks, Dion included inspirational insights, such as the excerpt below.
From the "Magical Battle of Britain"
Letter No. 50, November 24th, 1940
The initiate works by what he is rather than by what he does, and the higher the grade, the more passive he appears to be on the physical plane. Should he take action thereon, he abrogates his power to operate on the Inner Planes, for one cannot be positive on both planes simultaneously.
The initiate is what he is by virtue of the possession of certain basic qualities which are perfected by training. Firstly, he must not be self-centred, but in sympathetic relationship with all manifested life. Those who seek occult knowledge in order that it may help them in their troubles are a step nearer the Path than those who seek it to satisfy a desire for knowledge, and these are not yet on the Path. They may, it is true, receive help if there is a prospect that, being helped they will make spiritual growth, but the work of those who train for initiation is not to help people, but to equip them to be helpers. Who would enroll as air raid wardens as casualties lying on stretchers? So those who seek occult knowledge in order to find help in their troubles are apt to find the dose too strong. Just as the ancient Hebrew law required the priests of the Temple to be without maim or defect, so those who represent themselves for higher initiations must have worked out their personal troubles and find equilibrium and freedom before they dare to come to the altar. They are helped to do this work in the Outer Court and the Lesser Mysteries, but they may not enter upon the Greater Mysteries until it is done.
The initiate of the Greater Mysteries is known by his serenity and impersonal attitude in all the relations of life. He knows how to be still and let the powers he has set in motion carry out the work. He knows how to await the ripening of souls and not force a premature development by personal pressure. The initiate never goes about doing good; he never trespasses uninvited upon the spiritual privacy of another. He acts by what he is, not by what he does. He works on himself, makes something of himself, and then the forces that radiate from him without effort on his part bless and illuminate. If he is calm, he calms his environment. If he has wisdom, those who are in his company unconsciously take on his attitude and he has no need to proffer unsolicited advice. Because he knows the reality of eternity, he is content to let time do its work. He is characterized by two things, the power to be still and wait, and the power to stand absolutely alone. Until we know how to be still, mentally as well as physically, we cannot handle power; and until we know how to stand absolutely alone in perfect equilibrium and contentment, we cannot accomplish the works are done in polarity. Finally, the initiate is prepared to work without seeing result, playing his part on the Great Plan that unfolds through the ages of planetary time.
As far as I know, nobody has studied the links between the works of Aleister Crowley, Lady Frieda Harris and Fortune during World War II, except perhaps Kenneth Grant, who mentions things in his own oblique manner. He was there when Dion Fortune visited Crowley in Hastings. Were Crowley and Fortune two sides of the same coin, simultaneously destroying and creating new structures? Was Fortune's role to maintain and strengthen the racial memory of England while Crowley worked upon creating the New Age through his Tarot deck?
Dion Fortune meets Aleister Crowley on the tarot
Dion Fortune met Aleister Crowley to discuss Tarot among other things. There is some evidence Crowley showed Frieda Harris' artwork for the Book of Thoth too. Here is Dion's advice to the Tarot Student:
To use the Tarot properly, however, requires a very great deal of preparation, and the preparation does not consist merely in a knowledge of the significance of the cards, but in getting in touch with the forces behind the cards. An adequate rule-of-thumb use of it, however, can be made by any sincere person for himself, though it is doubtful if he could use it satisfactorily for anyone else.
Obtain a new pack of Tarot cards, for a used one will be too full of other people's magnetism to be reliable, and carry them on the person, and sleep with them under the pillow, and handle them and ponder upon the meaning of the pictures in the light of what the book of instructions has to say about them until the significance of each picture is realized. It does not matter greatly which pack is used, whether the quaint, hideous, archaic ones, or the very beautiful ones redrawn in recent times for Mr. A.E. Waite; it is not the details of the cards that matter, but that they should serve as reminders, as it were, of the ideas underlying them. As soon as one perceives some sort of significance in the picture on a card, one has made a link with that card, and its appearance in the divination will mean something.
Having got in touch with one's chosen pack, the next thing is to lay out a divination according to whatever system is chosen, work it out according to the book, and note down the results obtained and the position in which the cards fell. Repeat the process a second time, and a third time, upon each occasion keeping accurate notes of the fall of the cards, and, of course, thoroughly shuffling the cards between each lay-out. If certain cards keep on coming up, and especially if they come up in approximately the same positions, or even if cards of the same type predominate through the three divinations, it may safely be concluded that the system is working satisfactorily, and a divination may be made on the basis of the recurring cards. But if the three divinations bear no resemblance to each other; if even the balance of the four suits does not remain constant for at least two out of the three, and if none of the Greater Trumps turn up more than once, then it must be concluded that the Tarot is not working for the diviner, and the divination should be abandoned. The same principles apply if divinations are done with ordinary playing-cards, though this method is not nearly so sensitive and comprehensive as Tarot divinations.
Divination is a thing that cannot be learnt out of books, but builds up gradually as a system of associated ideas in the mind of the operator. Moreover, one varies very much in one's capacity for divination; upon one occasion one may be absolutely inspired, the cards recur and recur, and one reads with the most extraordinary insight, one thing leading to another in an endless train; at another time, one may have to spell out the meaning of the lay-out with reference to the book for almost every card. It will always be found that it is useless to force a divination; if the interpretation does not leap spontaneously to the mind it is unlikely to contain much insight.
Practical Occultism in Daily Life, Dion Fortune, Aquarian, 1976
Tarot and "The Mystical Qabalah"
In her seminal book, The Mystical Qabalah, Dion Fortune denies having met Aleister Crowley, but several authors have produced evidence that this was not so. To be fair, this book was published in 1935, and she seems to have met Crowley much later in Hastings during World War II. Dion Fortune writes as head of the Society of Inner Light, but she makes clear that two of her main authorities were MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley, both prominent in the Golden Dawn.
Dion Fortune is not known for her writings on Tarot, but the quotations below make it crystal clear not only that she had initiated knowledge on the Tarot and how it integrates so many systems.
Neither is the Qabalah, as I have learnt it, a purely Hebraic system, for it has been supplemented during mediaeval times by much alchemical lore and by the intimate association with it of that most marvellous system of symbolism, the Tarot.
Fortune is dismissive of A.E. Waite's Tarot system, which is significant in the context of the time. The Rider-Waite tarot was one of the few tarot decks readily available when she was writing.
Concerning the Tarot cards there are three modern authorities of note: Dr Gérard Encausse, or "Papus," the French writer; Mr A. E. Waite; and the MSS. of MacGregor Mathers' Order of the Golden Dawn, which Crowley published upon his own authority. All three are different. Concerning the system Mr. Waite gives, he himself says, "There is another method known to initiates." There is reason to suppose that this is the method used by Mathers.
Dion then gives an anachronistic criticism of Papus, who published before Mathers and Crowley:
Papus disagrees with both these writers in his method, but as his system does violence to many of the correspondences when placed upon the Tree, the final test of all systems, and as the Mathers-Crowley systems fits admirably, I think we may justly conclude that the latter is the correct traditional order, and I propose to adhere to it in these pages.
Divination Systems
As an Initiate, Dion well understood the linkages between various divination systems:
As already noted, the various divinatory systems have their relations with the Tree and find their subtlest clues therein. The associations of astrology are readily traced through the symbolism of the planets and elements and their triplicities, houses, and rulership; geomancy links with the Tree via astrology; and the Tarot, the most satisfactory of all the systems of divination, rises from and finds its explanation in the Tree and nowhere else. That may seem a dogmatic statement to the scholarly historian searching for traces of the origin of those mysterious cards, and, may we add, most lamentably failing to find it; but when it is realised that the initiate works the Tarot and the Tree together, and that they dovetail into each other at every imaginable angle, it will be seen that such an array of correspondences could be neither arbitrary nor fortuitous.
The ritual purposes of this system of correspondences is made clear in the next paragraph.
A most interesting and important aspect of the practical work of the Tree concerns the manner in which ceremonial and talismanic magic are used to compensate the findings of the divinatory sciences. Each prick-symbol of geomancy, each card of the Tarot, and each horoscopic factor have their places assigned to them on the Paths of the Tree, and the occultist with the necessary knowledge can put together a ritual or design a talisman to compensate or reinforce each and any of these.
Towards the end of the book, Fortune gives excellent advice on divination and Tarot.
70. In the Sphere of Malkuth are worked all divinations. Now the object of any method of divination is to find a set of things on the physical plane which correspond accurately and comprehensively to the invisible forces in the same way that the movements of the hands of a clock correspond to the passage of time.
This quotation echoes the Golden Dawn advice on Tarot Divination.
71. For revealing general trends and conditions it is agreed by universal experience of those who have studied such matters that astrology is the best system of correspondences. But for obtaining an answer to a single question it is not sufficiently specific, for too many factors may come in to modify the result. The initiated diviner, therefore, makes use of the more specific systems, such as divination by the Tarot or geomancy, when he wants to obtain an answer to a specific question.
72. But it is of little use to go into a shop and buy a pack of Tarot cards unless there is the knowledge necessary to build up the astral correspondences to each card. This takes time, as there are seventy-two (sic) cards to work with. Once it is done, however, the operator can take the cards into his hands with a considerable degree of confidence that his subconscious mind, whatever that may be, will all unwittingly deal the cards that refer to the matter in question. Exactly how the shuffle and deal is affected we do not know, but one thing is certain, when the Great Angel of the Tarot has been contacted, the cards are remarkably revealing.
The Great Angel of the Tarot is HRU, as revealed by the Golden Dawn teachings. Quite how Dion Fortune got the number of the Tarot cards wrong is not clear.

To find out, Derek is joined in studio by Patricia Murray, Occupational Psychologist with the Health and Safety Authority, and bookmaker Paddy Power!
This lunchtime brought the shock news that Pat Kenny is to leave RTÉ after 41 years, and move to Newstalk. We remember Pat's ground-breaking work with RTÉ in the company of Gay Byrne, Dustin the Turkey and Louis Walsh!
Shane Filan was just two months old when Pope John Paul II visited Ireland. The youngest of seven children, one of his big breaks was appearing in Grease at the age of 12 with the Sligo Fun Company. His Mum, Mae, worried that her baby, 'Danny Zuko', was a little 'shorter' than Sandra Dee!
He had tasted stardom and he didn't want it to end. In Summerhill College his pals included Kian and Mark. Along with three other friends they formed a boyband called I-O-YOU...
Mum Mae, badgered Boyzone-manager Louis Walsh: "Look at my son!" she cried – "Isn't he fantastic?!".
And Louis had to agree! He plucked Kian, Mark and Shane out of I.O.YOU to form a new boyband... Westlife!
Westlife had 14 successful years together, constantly topping charts and selling 50 million records. But, last year, after a sell-out Greatest Hits Tour, they all went their separate ways.
The next step for Shane is to pursue a solo career - his new single, Everything To Me, will be released in three weeks time, on August 23rd, and today both Shane and Louis Walsh join Derek in studio...

A recent survey has found that whilst at work, the average employee spends one hour every day on personal tasks, such as online shopping, paying household bills and sorting out their social life. According to the survey, on average, seven personal tasks are carried out during working hours every day.
Mary Kingston has been out on the streets to speak to members of the public who have been wasting their employer's time, and Derek is also joined in studio by Patricia Murray, an Occupational Psychologist with the Health and Safety Authority, and on the line from Galway racecourse by Paddy Power, the bookmaker, who employs 3,500 people in Ireland, the UK and Australia...
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Man is born broken. He lives by mending.
The Great God Brown
From the tortured soul of a brilliant playwright comes his most revealing play about himself. Eugene ONeill's The Great God Brown will be presented on the McGinnis stage April 24-29.
William (Billy) Brown is a successful but inferior architect. His life-long friend, Dion Anthony, is a gifted artist but a drunken, dissolute womanizer. Both are in love with Margaret. She chooses Dion with his sensual, cynical mask. But when he reveals himself as deeply spiritual and sensitive, she is repulsed. Unable to realize his artistic potential, Dion sinks into self-destruction and dies. Billy, envious of Dion's talent, steals his identity. Billy eventually is accused of his own murder and is killed by police, while Margaret continues to worship the image of Dion.
Brooks Atkinson's New York Times review of 1926 stated: "… he has placed within the reach of the stage finer shades of beauty, more delicate nuances of truth and more passionate qualities of emotion than we can discover in any other single modern play. The symbolism inherent in all his plays is now carried to its ultimate conclusion; dramatic substance is spun into fragile bands of meaning; the abstract conflicts of life are transmuted and thrice refined.
"I love that play," O'Neill declared of The Great God Brown, which remained one of his favorites. Perhaps his fondness derived from the subjective, autobiographical nature of Dion who expresses O'Neill's search for spiritual certainty, as well as his physical qualities and his bitterness. Perhaps O'Neill's liking sprang from the expressionistic device of the masks, which makes the play one of his strangest and most experimental.

This report examines the Race to the Top initiative--a $4.35 billion grant program included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to encourage state-level education reforms. The report strongly supports rigorous evaluations of programs funded by the Race to the Top initiative. The initiative should support research based on data that links student test scores with their teachers, but should not prematurely promote the use of value-added approaches, which evaluate teachers based on gains in their students' performance, to reward or punish teachers. The report also cautions against using the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal assessment that helps measure overall U.S. progress in education, to evaluate programs funded by the Race to the Top initiative.

Public Abstract:
Human pluripotent stem cells offer the potential of a continually self-renewing source of human cells that can become any tissue or cell type needed to treat human degenerative diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, macular degeneration, MS, ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's as well as spinal chord injury and other wound healing. Until recently, human embryonic derived stem cells were the principal source of pluripotent cells. New techniques like reprogramming adult human cells point the way to more plentiful and cost-effective cells for research and development. However, our understanding of how to efficiently make specific cell types such as heart or skin cells on demand starting from pluripotent stem cells and how to produce sufficient clinical grade quantities of cells needed for therapy is currently quite limited and presents a significant challenge for researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Our proposed research offers to directly address this issue by developing research tools and techniques for understanding and monitoring differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. As pluripotent cells grow and change in a dish in the laboratory they progress to cells that are programmed to become various mature cells based on environment signals. We propose to create targeted bio-probes that will recognize and label only very specific populations of early precursor stem cells. The bio-probes will leave an indelible color coded mark on their target cells so that we can track the progression of these cells over time and determine what type of cells they become in response to interaction with other cells and other environmental cues. We will use time lapse photography to make movies showing color coded precursor cells as they grow, migrate, divide and change into functional mature body cells such as skin or beating heart cells. The ability to mark specific populations of progenitor cells will allow researchers to also isolate them to study their growth and development under various conditions aimed at producing desirable mature cell types from the progenitors. The new tools we propose to develop will help researchers distinguish one stem cell derivative from another so that well characterized cells can be prepared for disease therapies that are free of unwanted cell types.
Statement of Benefit to California:
About half of California's families have a child or adult who has suffered or will suffer from a serious medical conditions that could potentially be treated with stem cell therapies whether it be cell transplantation, the use of drugs tested on stem cell derived cells or drugs that affect endogenous stem cells to promote healing. The proposed research will result in new tools and technologies for identifying, isolating and tracking progenitor cells that are derived from pluripotent stem cells. Recent advances allow more ready access to pluripotent stem cells through reprogramming however there remains a critical need to understand how efficiently derive cells for therapy or drug testing. The innovative and versatile tools we propose to develop would allow California researchers to to tag lineage specific cells derived from any pluripotent stem cell line at any point in development. Multiple probes can be used to study two or more lineages at the same time. The technology can be used to target progenitor cells with a known biomarker interaction or to identify new surface markers or combinations that distinguish one type of precursor cell from another. These tools will make it easier for researchers to understand how to derive useful therapeutic cells from embryonic and other types of stem cells in the laboratory, to determine how to make and scale up pure cell populations that are free of unwanted cells and thus facilitate the translation of research to the development of cells and regenerative medicines for treating the patient population of California. An added benefit to California will be that the movies we create of differentiating ES cells will have important educational value for the general public's understanding of stem cells and their potential for curing disease. There are many other benefits to California researchers that will result from the development of the proposed progenitor targeting probe technology among them are improved assay development for differentiation agents, characterization of cells for transplant, and monitoring the fate of transplanted cells. Our proposed tools would therefore benefit the California economy by advancing the biomedical industry.
Review Summary:
This is an application to develop reagents for targeting and tracking pluripotent stem cell-derived progenitor cells based on their surface marker profile. The first aim of the proposal is to develop a model tracking system using phage particles targeted to a specific growth hormone receptor. Phage particles will be tracked in three different ways, including by conjugation to quantum dots. The second aim is to apply the technology for biomarker identification by finding a pool of ligands that target human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived progenitors. The applicant will then use ligand-targeted phage tracking methods to screen the selected ligands, in order to identify new ligands that target surface biomarkers on keratinocyte progenitors. Time-lapse microscopy will be used to track and map targeted cell fate, migration and patterning. The research in this proposal addresses a fundamental bottleneck in the stem cell field, characterizing hESC derivatives and mapping their fate. However, reviewers commented that the tools proposed in this application are unlikely to be useful to the stem cell community. There are more robust strategies for tracking cells using genetic engineering that would be more advantageous for following cell fate. In addition, the preliminary data was not strong enough to suggest that the specific experiments in this proposal would yield interpretable results. The principal investigator and collaborators on this project were considered excellent, but there were concerns regarding the number of on-site personnel that would be available to conduct the work. The characterization of hESC derivatives and map of their fate is a fundamental issue in stem cell biology. Although this group will begin with a proof-of-concept in a limited system, the follow-up aims would help to refine the techniques for a wider use. If this method was effective for optimizing directed differentiation of hESCs, it could have an important impact. However, there is little biological rationale presented in the application to justify the use of phage technology compared to other approaches to track hESC-derived somatic cell populations. The ligand-directed phage delivery to cultured mammalian cells is a technique developed by the PI and one of the collaborators on the project. This delivery approach has been improved for in vivo application by other groups (which the applicants do not acknowledge), but reviewers commented that it still has not found wide acceptance and utility in biomedical research. Reviewers were uneasy about the outcome measures for this proposal, and therefore concerned about its feasibility. Three different methods of labeling targeted phage would be tested: fluorescent particles (quantum dots), quantitative measurement of phage DNA, and phage gene delivery of a fluorescent tag. The applicant presents some preliminary data suggesting that they can introduce these particles into hESCs, but the level of detection appears to be low. Reviewers commented that if only one of the phage-tracking methods works the time-lapse microscopy analysis might be compromised. In addition, reviewers commented that the application lacked preliminary data on the time-lapse analysis and the quantitative measurements of tracking cells from the progenitor stage through differentiation into a more mature cell type, nor does it contain any convincing explanation of how cell-cell interactions will be analyzed. Finally, it is not clear why the applicants chose to go after neural progenitors in Aim1 and keratinocyte progenitors in Aims 2 and 3. The principal investigator (PI) has an excellent record and experience in this area, and has been part of an initiative to apply phage display to biomedical research. The collaborators listed on the project are excellent, although more experienced with adult progenitors than hESCs. Reviewers expressed concern that the PI is relying on an assembly of team members from outside of the laboratory; the applicant institution will contribute one research associate to perform all the experiments with the PI. The budget seemed appropriate or a little high for a study largely based on phage display, a relatively inexpensive methodology. Overall, reviewers were not enthusiastic about this proposal. They felt that the technology was not particularly useful, and were concerned that the outcome measures had not been adequately thought out.

"Not only is it imperative for patients to be well educated about their disease processes, but it is similarly important for physicians to be educated about their patients. Only after this has been accomplished can an informed decision be made regarding the proper course of treatment. I strive to enter into a dialogue with all of my patients so that they can learn about their conditions, and I can learn about their particular situations. With a proper understanding of the disease process, the various treatment alternatives, as well as the needs and desires of the patient, we can then together select the best course of treatment."

This scenic wall in Big Cottonwood Canyon offers sport climbing on red limestone edges. It has spectacular views up Mineral Fork, looking at the back of Mt. Superior and the Superior ridge line. It faces south, so it is very nice during the Spring and Fall months. You are more likely to see hawks and elk than people here.
Getting There
Park at the overflow for winter parking at the "Doughnut Falls" area.(This is where everyone sleds in the winter.) Walk back downcanyon, crossing the road to a thick group of pines on the north side of the canyon road. After passing a small red and white checked highway sign you will see the start of the trail (about 75 yards from parking). Pay attention to stay on the trail through the pine trees as there are many game trails that switch back and forth over the trail. Be sure to exit the first big talus field on the left part way up. Handlines are fixed at the perpetually loose steep bits. Hike with your head up or you will get off trail.

Does one size really fit all? Lately, in the world of alternative investments, it has to. The Alternative Investment Fund Management Directive (AIFMD) has been signed into law in all EU member states over the past few years, affecting change in the asset and wealth management market and its firms through enforcement of a universal regulatory framework. While it is a directive enforced by the European Commission, AIFMD's sphere of influence extends to all alternative investment funds (AIFs) that market to or involve European investors, regardless of where they are based.
These regulations are meant to do many things: decrease market instability, enhance supervisory practices, and foster cross-border competition. Concrete changes we will see include new structures for future AIFs and a passport regime that will regulate and encourage cross-border interaction. All firms involved have been preparing for years now, adjusting their legal structures, processes, and budgets.
So why was July 22nd important? It was the deadline by which all preexisting AIFs should have fully complied with the directive. However, the process doesn't end there. Key dates for now and the future include:
- July 22, 2014: Managers operating pre-July 2013 must be authorized and comply in full
- July 2013-2014: Passports are available to EU managed EU funds and non-EU managed EU funds
- July 2015: Passports become available to EU managed non-EU funds and non-EU managed non-EU funds
- January 22, 2019: European Commission may end domestic private placement regimes
AIFs are changing in many ways, but reporting will likely have the biggest impact because of the increased amount of time, effort, and money that it necessitates. The Annex IV Report is the main reporting component of AIFMD, and requires quarterly accounting of different aspects of an AIF so as to offer a detailed picture of it for review.
By applying a single framework to all AIFs and all EU member states, it may appear as though the European Commission is expecting one size to fit a varying population of firms. There is wiggle room—the directive has different nuances country by country—but the overarching structure remains universal and mandatory.
Regardless of the generalities and intricacies that AIFMD entails, one thing is clear: with such a diverse collection of governments, getting one size to fit all is surely no easy feat.

Crawley boss eyes Premier League scalp
10:00am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Crawley Town By Steve Hollis
Boss Richie Barker hopes Crawley can make it fourth time lucky as they bid to claim a Premier League scalp for the first time.
Reds were handed a home tie with Reading in the third round of the FA Cup when the draw was made on Sunday Crawley have faced top flight opposition in the previous two years in the competition, losing in the fifth round to Manchester United and Stoke City.
The League One outfit also went down 3-2 at home to Swansea City in the Capital One Cup this season after leading 2-1 until the 74th minute.
Barker said: "You always look for a home draw against a top Premiership team. We are only 45 minutes from Reading and I would like to think it will be a sell-out, which would help with the finances, but in terms of progressing to the next round I think it's going to be difficult, because there are no poor Premiership teams.
"We have been knocked out by Premiership clubs in the last two years and we have got another Premiership club again. We got beat by Swansea in the League Cup in the last minute this year, which is the closest we have come to beating a Premiership team in the club's history, so hopefully we will go a step further."

Dolphins Hit Parade Unable to Corral Eagles
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville pounded out double digit hits for the fourth straight game, but was unable to slow a hot hitting Georgia Southern squad falling 10-9 in the final non-league game for both teams on Tuesday night at Sessions Stadium.
Sophomore Michael Babb (Jacksonville, Fla.) went 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored to lead the Dolphins who had eight different players hit safely in the game. Sophomore Connor Marabell (Jacksonville, Fla.) and senior Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla.) and each added two hits and two RBI as the 2-3-4 hitters for JU went a combined 7-for-13 with seven RBI.
"Offensively I thought we did some really good things. The top of the line-up is swinging the bat with a lot of confidence and starting to do a better job with two strikes," said Head Coach Tim Montez. "We did as well as we could on the mound for a mid-week game in a short week and gave ourselves a chance to win the ball game. We still made a few mental mistakes in some key situations. We clean that up and we keep swinging the bats the way we have been and the top of the rotation guys throw the ball like they are capable of then we could be a dangerous team in Fort Myers"
Jacksonville (17-31) battled at the plate all night overcoming a 6-3 deficit with a four run fourth in which Babb, Marabell and Schaub each recorded RBI. Georgia Southern (34-20) tied the game on a wild pitch in the fifth, then took an 8-7 lead in the seventh with a two-out single up the middle by Ryan Cleveland.
More timely two out hitting put the Eagles, who have now won six of the last seven, ahead 10-7 in the eighth as Aaron Mizell ripped a two-run double to right.
The Dolphins didn't go away easily however as the heart of the line-up produced once again. Babb drove in his third run of the game with a single to right scoring Angelo Amendolare (Edgewater, Fla.). Marabell then pulled JU with a run at 10-9 with his 10th double of the season. The rally would die there however has a sharply hit ball was snagged by the Eagles second baseman setting off a double play to end the inning.
Justin Lawrence (Jacksonville, Fla.) was charged with the loss in his first decision of the year.
Amendolare and Cameron Gibson (Conyers, Ga.) also had two hits each in the game for JU.
"This weekend vs Northern Kentucky is a very important series because it could help us get all the way up to the fifth seed in the tournament," added Montez. "We are still playing for something this last week of the season and I want to keep the momentum and confidence that this team has going into the postseason next week."
The Dolphins close out the regular season at by hosting a three-game set vs Northern Kentucky starting on Thursday. All three games can be heard live on 92.5 FM as Scott Manze will be in the catbird seat.

Justin Childs' layup with 2 seconds left climaxed a 12-2 run in the final four minutes as Tennessee-Martin stunned Kennesaw State 65-63 Saturday night.
Myles Taylor scored a game-high 20 points for the victorious Skyhawks (3-5), including seven in that decisive stretch. It was a 3-pointer by Mike Liabo (14 points) that tied it at 63-all.
It came after Kennesaw State's Markeith Cummings, who led the Owls (1-7) with 19 points, committed a turnover with 6 seconds to play. Following a timeout, Childs (12 points) then scored the game-winner.
Before his last-second turnover, Cummings had given Kennesaw State its last lead, 63-61, on a layup with 0:55 left. But Taylor responded with a tying jumper with 42 seconds remaining before Cummings' turnover and Childs' decisive layup.
Aaron Anderson scored 15 points for Kennesaw State and posted a double-double with 10 rebounds. Delbert Love added 12 points.

VICTOR ESPINOZA, ROOKIE SENSATION, WINNER: "I just wanted to let my horse do his thing in the beginning, and from the last three-eighths of a mile, I tried to make my way in between horses.
"Sometimes there are different strategies in a race, but I did not have any other options because of the way the race set up. I sneaked in on the inside and everything worked out very nice today. Once I got my position I knew I would definitely win the race. He's been a nice horse in his last few races. He always runs unbelievable races, but now he's even more ready than before. Each race he is getting better and better."
JOHN SHIRREFFS, ROOKIE SENSATION, WINNER: "We liked this horse quite a bit and wanted to bring him along slowly, so we tried to space his races appropriately."
FRANK STRONACH, OWNER/BREEDER, ROOKIE SENSATION: "He's only had a few starts (five), so we'll see how good he's going to be."

Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas de Guanacaste
Playa Grande is considered to be one of most important nesting sites in the entire world for the baula or leatherback turtle.
Playa Grande is considered to be one of most important nesting sites in the entire world for the baula or leatherback turtle.
Get out a pen and underline this twice: Osa Wild is the way to connect with Corcovado park and Osa. Although it's a relatively young outfit, it's just what the area so desperately needed: a resource for travelers to connect with community-oriented initiatives that go to the heart of the real Osa through homestays, farm tours and sustainable local cultural exchanges.
Like a beautiful sunset or a Da Vinci painting, the French chef at this boutique, family-run villa property, off the main Negra drag, is spoken about in hushed tones by local extranjeros up and down the coast. And truth be told, the entire Balinese-themed property is worthy of praise, including those swish bungalows (double US$95) set around a gorgeous, glittering pool.
Koji Hyodo's sushi shack in nearby Playa Hermosa is a twinkling beacon of fresh raw excellence. The atmosphere and service are superior, of course, but his food is a higher truth. The grilled octopus is only barely fired and sprinkled with sea salt. There's a sweet crunch to his lobster sashimi, sliced trace-paper thin and sprinkled with fresh ginger.
If you splurge for a single fancy meal during your trip, do it here. A lovely, candlelit patio off the main road is home to this romantic eatery run by Tuscan-born Ilario Giannoni.
This artfully decorated beachside spot is the most adored and romantic restaurant in town and one of the very best on the peninsula. The international menu with heavy Mediterranean influences changes daily depending on locally available ingredients, though you can always count on fresh seafood roasted in the wood oven and presented impeccably.
About 2km past the trailhead to Cerro Chirripó you will find the entrance to the mystical, magical Cloudbridge Nature Preserve. Covering 182 hectares on the side of Cerro Chirripó, this private reserve is an ongoing reforestation and preservation project spearheaded by New Yorkers Ian and Genevieve Giddy.
Hidden in plain sight in Mal País village, this charming restaurant with polished concrete floor, wood oven, pool table and chalkboard menu has a tremendous reputation among local expats and international foodies alike, and deservedly so. They offer delicious pizzas and tasty menu staples like tacos and fresh salads. But their specials are sensational.
Spanish-tile floors, bright white linens and the sound of old tangos evoke the atmospheric bistros of San Telmo – making this one of the top spots in the city for a steak and a glass of Malbec. Also tasty are the house-made empanadas and the extensive selection of fresh pastas, including vegetarian options such as tender raviolis stuffed with mozzarella and fresh basil.
In almost every way this trendy, hopping indoor-outdoor bar and grill is light years ahead of the competition. In addition to the grilled meats, which include rib eye, filet, peppercorn tenderloin medallions, and a porterhouse with gorgonzola sauce, it trades in tilapia and crab risotto, a ginger-glazed grilled tuna, and a Bengali chicken in coconut curry.
Built from scratch, though it looks deceptively like a restored historic building, the Park Café is an anomalous (and felicitous) fusion of antique shop and French restaurant. Michelin-starred chef Richard Neat offers an exquisite menu – crab ravioli with asparagus, artichoke and ginger sauce, for starters – and a carefully curated wine list.
A unique and welcome addition to Pavones, this retreat has simple, clean rooms with wood bunk bed (dorm/room per night US$43/50, per week US$260/300), three vegetarian meals that are prepared primarily with ingredients from the organic garden, and daily yoga classes that take place in an open-air studio overlooking the ocean.

I've posted this before, but it seems appropriate here...At the Williamsburg Pottery, there are train tracks running through it, dividing up the new and old sections. There was a small sign next to them. "Maybe you can beat the train. And maybe you're DEAD WRONG."
From Customers Suck.http://www.customerssuck.com/board/showthread.php?t=96950Last story in the OP. Group books 2 tables in a pub for a birthday celebration, on Saturday night, when the place is usually packed. On arrival, Birthday Girl demands that the pub keep adjacent tables vacant and not allow other customers to stand near her table "I dont want anyone disturbing my special night! I WILL NOT have anyone sitting near my party! I will not allow it!" When the pub refuses to comply, Birthday Girl calls Daddy to have him make the pub obey her. She orders the waiter to talk to Daddy. "You have to do as I say!" No, they don't and they didn't. I don't see any major language issues in the OP, but won't vouch for the rest of the thread.
Quote from: Kiara on February 25, 2013, 12:05:39 PMI've posted this before, but it seems appropriate here...At the Williamsburg Pottery, there are train tracks running through it, dividing up the new and old sections. There was a small sign next to them. "Maybe you can beat the train. And maybe you're DEAD WRONG."There's a four-way stop here that goes over some train tracks. The number of people who try to beat the train is stupidly high. You'd think they would notice all of the little crosses stuck in the grass next to the track trains. I know I've come up on more than one car-vs-train accident over the years on those tracks. It's never pretty. The driver always ends up dead.
Evil LK can think of so many applications for the Snowflake Surcharge.
Dh said "Well any train coming through town HAS to go slower than it would out in the open so it's unlikely he'd be killed." I still tell my children that trains and their tracks are nothing to play around with.
Quote from: ladyknight1 on February 25, 2013, 03:39:26 PMEvil LK can think of so many applications for the Snowflake Surcharge. I've seen it as the PITA Surcharge (pain in the asterisk). It was high enough that the service person could snicker at the thought of how fast they were earning money on the ONE job - that SS was probably never going to come back to them due to the high price of services. Or if they did come back - there would be more planning involved so as not to have the "rush charge" (what the PITA surcharge was called to the customer's face).
I might be on CS or Not Always Right tonight.I was at my grocery store. A teenage boy was checking me out. Another boy came up and handed him a cookie. I asked him to stop checking me out and if it was peanut butter (right color). He said yesI asked him to stop checking me out finish the cookie and clean his hands before touching my stuff.He said he couldn't do that he was on a timer and KEPT checking me out.I told him to stop - that I am deathly allergic and can't touch things that may have traces of peanut oil on them. He kept checking me out.I told him flat out to stop NOW. He still didn't get it but got that I was mad. The bagger went and got the disinfected wipes they keep at the cart station and wiped down my stuff. I didn't have any fruit or veg - everything was packaged. I spoke to the the manager (i love this store and regularly fill out complementary comment cards about the excellent service and he knows it.) He said he would speak to the boys about eating while checking people out especially peanut products.

Absolutely gorgeous!
The most comfortable and natural looking. The many compliments that I receive from complete strangers reassures me that it really does look like my own hair. I am so very grateful for this product. I highly recommend it.
Erin by Amore
Realistic and comfortable. Even people who know me well do not guess it is not my own hair. This wig has quite a bit of hair so I had it trimmed and thinned a little at a local wig shop. The bangs probably won't need trimming however. I chose medium brown to match my own hair color. The color is very natural with several shades of brown like my own. I do not wear it all the time, mostly when I am in a hurry, it saves so much time! But, if I did have to wear it every day that would be okay too. Definitely recommend.
I started wearing this style after having breast cancer. I have people who do not know say - love your hair and the color...wish I could get mine like that. People who know that I wear wigs are a little cautious about what to say so when I hear it from strangers it makes me feel really good.
My husband love it too - better than a few others I've had. Now I only buy this style and color.
I love the Erin, it fits perfectly!

A 24-yard field goal by Eli Horne with 2:20 left in the third quarter snapped a 12-12 tie and carried the Gloucester High Fishermen to a dramatic 15-14 win over Lynn Classical Friday night before an estimated crowd of more than 3,500 fans in the opening night of the "new" Newell Stadium.
The win capped a banner grand opening at the newly reconstructed $3.5 million stadium, with colorful ceremonies kicking off the evening, and the Fishermen's win over Classical topping off the night.
Gloucester had opened the scoring on a 10-yard run around the left side by John Curcuru in the first quarter, and after Classical tied it 6-6, Jordan Pallazola scored on a two-yard plunge late in the first half, which ended at 12-12.
Horne's kick — the first GHS field goal since 2008 — then gave the Fishermen a 15-12 lead, and Gloucester held on, taking an intentional safety in the last two minutes rather than punting from the Fishermen's own end zone.
