How economies work – and don't
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat — or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off — a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
the annoying habit of seeing the hand of land in almost all transactions. In geonomics we maintain the distinction between the items bearing exchange value that come into being via human effort — wealth — and those that don't — land. Keeping this distinction in the forefront makes it obvious that speculating in land drives sprawl, that hoarding land retards Third World development, that borrowing to buy land plus buildings engorges banks, that much so-called "interest" is quasi-rent, that the cost of land inflates faster than the price of produced goods and services, that over half of corporate profit is from real estate (Urban Land Institute, 1999). Summing up these analyses, geonomists offer a Grand Unifying Theory, that the flow of rent pulls all other indicators in its wake. Geonomics differs from economics as chemistry from alchemy, as astronomy from astrology.
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part and parcel of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old loggers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
suitable for framing by Green Parties. When Greens began in Germany two decades ago, they defined themselves as neither left nor right but in front. Geonomics fits that description. The Green Parties have their Four Pillars; geonomists have four ways to apply them:
- Ecological Wisdom. Want people to use the eco-system wisely? Charge them Rent and, to end corporate license, add surcharges. To minimize these costs, people will use less Earth.
- Nonviolence. Want people to settle disputes nonviolently? Set a good example; don't levy taxes, which rely on the threat of incarceration, to take people's money. Try quid pro quo fees and dues.
- Social Responsibility. Want people to be responsible for their actions? Don't make basic choices for them by subsidizing services, addicting them to a caretaker state. Let people spend shares of social surplus.
- Grassroots Democracy. Better have grassroots prosperity. Remember, political power follows economic. Pay people a Citizens Dividend; to keep it, they'll show up at the polls, public hearings, and conventions.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.

If Yair Lapid, Tzipi Livni and Shelly Yacimovich join Netanyahu's coalition
without Bayit Yehudi and the ultra-Orthodox parties, Netanyahu will have no
option but to follow the path of Begin, Rabin and Sharon and reach a painful
agreement – Eitan Haber, Yediot Aharonot, January 23, 2013It is still too early to fully assess the ramifications of this week's election
results, or to accurately identify what caused them.However, on the
basis of the available evidence, Tuesday's poll is unlikely to portend anything
positive – unless of course you subscribe to some theory of socioeconomic
alchemy, which holds that the whole of Israel can be miraculously transformed
into a Beverly Hills-like clone but one in which everybody will live happily
ever after in an atmosphere of egalitarian social justice.Bread &
butter vs life & death Clearly, the major story of the elections is the
extraordinary and unexpected success of Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid (There is a
Future) party which managed to win 19 (just over 15 percent) of the total 120
seats in Israel's parliament, thus for all intents and purposes becoming a
crucial power broker in the formation of any coalition.In his campaign,
Lapid focused almost exclusively on alleviating the alleged plight of Israel's
middle class, studiously eschewing any reference to security and foreign policy
issues, other than an occasional oblique allusion to Israel's growing isolation
in the international community and the need to address it.Shelly
Yacimovich's Labor Party, which won 15 seats, also assiduously avoided broaching
matters of external policy, and confined its campaign attention to assailing
Binyamin Netanyahu's domestic record – albeit with far more "social-democratic"
welfare-oriented emphasis than Lapid.We are compelled to the conclusion
that in casting its ballots, a decisive portion of the Israeli electorate has
given priority to issues of "bread and butter" over those of "life and
death."Retreat into denial? It was as if the Israeli voter opted for
denial, ignoring the massive challenges facing the nation, such as: - contending
with the repercussions of the "Arab Spring" and the ascent of radicalism in the
region;- addressing the deteriorating situation in Sinai and a possible breach of
the peace treaty with Egypt by its Islamist regime;- coping with menacing
developments in Syria and the specter of a radicalized al-Qaida-affiliated
post-Assad regime;- confronting the increasingly evident intransigence of the
Palestinians and the fading prospects of a two-state- settlement;- and preparing
for possible regime change in Jordan, and the ascent of Muslim extremists to
power.And, oh yes, we almost forgot, there is the small matter of the
Iranian nuclear program. These are all issues which neither Lapid nor
Yacimovich have any competence to deal with – or lay claim to any such
competence. Indeed, neither gave them any centrality during their
campaigns. Yet they enticed almost a third of the electorate to vote for
them.Disturbing drop in national adrenaline? The fact that such a
significant portion of mainstream Israeli voters supported lists that not only
deliberately downplayed – but made little pretense of intending to address –
matters that impact the very survival of the state, seems to point to a dramatic
and disturbing drop in the levels of "national adrenaline."For given the
immediacy and the intensity of the threats facing Israel, it seems almost
inconceivable that the issue of who was best suited to deal with them played
such a negligible role in the election.Indeed, it is difficult to avoid
the conclusion that Israel's electorate has become dangerously detached from the
real challenges the nation needs to address.Don't get me wrong. As
someone who is light years away from tycoon status, I am keenly aware of the
socioeconomic pressures the average Israeli citizen has to contend with. Indeed,
I have my own (long) list of gripes regarding the dysfuntionalities of the
Israeli establishment.Clearly, there is much to address on the domestic,
socioeconomic front. Eminently plausible claims can be made for the need to
restructure the tax system, make markets more competitive, streamline
bureaucracy, raise salaries for specific professions and so on. But Netanyahu's
government was in many respects responsibly addressing these
matters.Arguably more than any of its predecessors, it has been willing
to challenge the monopolists/cartels and confront the "tycoons." It oversaw the
dramatic reduction in the cost of mobile-phones service and even went so far as
to adopt the ethically suspect measure of retroactively raising royalties on the
profits from the newly discovered marine gas fields – incurring (somewhat
understandably) the wrath of the plutocrats.Protesting popular plenty? Poll after poll, both foreign and local, shows extremely high levels of
satisfaction with life in Israel, well above that in most industrial countries.
Important socioeconomic indicators are better in Israel than the average in the
OECD countries. According to the OECD Better Life Index site: "Israel performs
favorably in several measures of well-being, and ranks close to the average or
higher in several topics in the Better Life Index... Money, while it cannot buy
happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In
Israel, the average person financial wealth is 47,750 USD per year, more than
the OECD average of 36,238 USD."Moreover, life expectancy – usually
taken as an indicator of the level of a country's healthcare – is almost 82
years in Israel, two years above the OECD average.Israel also scores
higher on the prevalence of high-school education with 80% of adults aged 25- 64
having the equivalent of a high-school degree, above the OECD average of
74%.A cursory stroll through urban Israel will reveal that restaurants
are full, cafes crowded, pubs jam-packed; the recreation industry appears
booming, with beaches teeming in summer, the ski slope crammed in winter, rural
byways swarming with off-road cyclists over the weekends, decked out with the
latest equipment and accessories.... Nor are overseas trips the exclusive
privilege of a wafer-thin layer of the "crème-de-la- crème." Out of a total
population of 7.8 million, millions of Israelis travel abroad regularly,
spending billions of dollars on overseas trips.Against this backdrop of
"popular plenty," the eruption of "middle class" discontent, as reflected in
support for Lapid's principal electoral theme, seems oddly
misplaced.After all, surely not all these diners, latte drinkers,
late-night revelers, surfers, skiers, bikers, vacationers can be parasitic
ultra-Orthodox, privileged settlers or plutocratic tycoons? Success as reason
for failure Paradoxically, it was precisely the Netanyahu government's success
that sowed the seeds of failure at the polls.On the security front –
excluding the week-long Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza – Israel is enjoying
the longest period of calm for decades. This has relegated security concerns to
the back of the public's mind and allowed more mundane issues to dominate its
agenda – unlike the situation under Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and
Ariel Sharon when Palestinian terror wrought carnage on the streets of the
nation's cities and towns.Nor have the Netanyahu government's
achievements been confined to security. Indeed, it has stewarded the economy
remarkably well through the dire global crisis that affected much of the
industrial world far more seriously.Thus, hitherto largely untouched by
the world economic crisis and accustomed to increasing consumption levels,
Israelis are refusing to tailor their expectations to their means. But as talent
(and luck) are not evenly distributed, it is unreasonable to expect an
egalitarian reality in which the fortunes of all are similar. Greater prosperity
has – inevitably – yielded greater inequality. Accordingly, keeping up with the
Joneses is becoming increasingly onerous, with social pressures pushing many to
live beyond their means.It is this growing resentment, coming not so
much from the "have nots" but from the "want mores," that generated much of the
anti- Netanyahu sentiment. A cursory glance at the election results seems to
indicate that Lapid fared better than the Likud mainly in well-to-do areas, but
not in those that allegedly suffered from Netanyahu's economic policies, where
the Likud outperformed Lapid.To a large degree, FrontPage Magazine
blogger David Hornik got it right when he wrote: "The Israeli public has not
done justice to Binyamin Netanyahu, whose overall record these past four years
on the security, diplomatic and economic fronts is solid and commendable; while
falling for the somewhat facile appeal of the untested Yair
Lapid."Bibi's blunders But Netanyahu is not blameless. This is
the second atrocious campaign he has run, displaying a remarkable knack for
almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.In 2009, the glaring
lack of clarity and focus, of direction and resolve, in the Likud's message left
– almost inconceivably – Kadima, a party riddled with unprecedented charges of
corruption and a disastrously failed record of performance, with the most seats
in the Knesset.It was only the good graces of fortune – and the gross
incompetence of his rivals – that prevented Tzipi Livni being given the task of
forming the government.Precisely the same error was evident in this
campaign, in which until very recently, Netanyahu's – and the national camp's –
undisputed victory was a forgone conclusion.Indeed, the fact that the
Likud – almost incredibly – decided to campaign without presenting the public
with a platform, could not but have left many wondering what they were being
asked to vote for! His strategic errors began this summer, when instead of
holding elections – as he had already announced – he incomprehensibly entered
into an ill-considered and inevitably short-lived alliance with Shaul Mofaz. Had
Netanyahu held the vote then, before Lapid had fully organized himself, with
Livni still undecided whether to run, and probably unable to, with Obama still
gearing for elections in the US, with distinctly favorable public approval
ratings, he almost certainly would have fared far better.His merger with
Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu was – as I pointed out in a previous column – a
disaster foretold, creating a united list that, inevitably, could be expected to
yield fewer seats than if they had run separately.Anyone with an
aversion for Netanyahu could no longer vote for Liberman without voting for
Netanyahu – and vice versa.Thus voters afflicted by an anti- Bibi or
anti-Yvette phobia were left with the choice of either abstaining or voting for
parties such as Lapid's or Bennett's. It is far from implausible to assume that
the Likud's ill-advised attacks on Bennett, a natural ally, convinced at least
some of these voters to side with Lapid. Indeed, the fact that according to a
poll just published, 34% of Yesh Atid voters decided to vote for the party in
the last three days of campaigning, lends credence to this
contention.Cause for concern Admittedly, Lapid has conducted himself
commendably since the election results were announced. He has come out with some
surprisingly – including to myself – assertive Zionistic
pronouncements.However, I would urge caution. I have attacked Lapid on
numerous occasions, underscoring how he exploited his widely read Friday Yediot
Aharonot column to propagate positions he himself later conceded to be merely
mendacious manipulations.Thus, on the eve of the disengagment (June 24,
2005), he published a caustic castigation of the opponents of unilateral
withdrawal.He warned darkly of the dire consequences and the
unbridgeable rift that would result if they succeeded in persuading the public
that the expulsion of Jews from Gaza should be aborted.Menacingly, Lapid
declared that Israelis were tired of sacrificing their lives for the sake of the
religious settlers, and that for the majority in the country, disengagement
"appeared the last chance for us to live a normal life."However, barely
a year later (October 13, 2006), when the catastrophic failure of the
disengagement was undeniably apparent for all to see, Lapid published a
breathtakingly brazen follow-up, titled "Things we couldn't say during
disengagement." In it he admitted it had all been a giant ploy: "It was never
about the Palestinians, demography, and endeavor for peace, the burden on the
IDF."No, confessed Lapid, the real reason for imposing the deportation
of Jewish citizens and destruction of Jewish towns and villages was...to
put the settlers in their place, to teach them "the limits of their power" and
show them who really calls the shots in the country.I don't not know if
Eitan Haber (see introductory except) is a Lapid supporter. But the sentiments
that he expresses are certainly characteristic of the prevailing sentiment in
much of Lapid's core constituency.It would be more than naïve to expect
that the current political super-star will not face growing pressure from his
base, to whom he owes political allegiance, "to follow in the path" of those who
brought the extremist warlords to the fringes of Eilat, the reign of terror to
the streets, cafes and buses of Israel, and the rain of rockets to the towns and
rural communities of the South (and beyond).So be afraid, very afraid –
perhaps the best we can hope for is early elections.Martin Sherman

Retired teacher and guidance counselor, maybe this will help me find "something to do" during my spare time. I have more spare time than spare ribs, I promise.
I live in DeSoto County Mississippi, with access to North Mississippi.
If you find errors or corrections or additions of any kind, please inform me. Sometimes the pictures don't come out real clear and I transcribe as best as I can. Sometimes I just give up and hope to get back and try again.
If I have management of a memorial that you wish to have, message or email me and I will be glad to transfer management unless it is in my genealogy line. If that rarity happens, we'll discuss each situation.

Thanks for all your hard work. I had established a findagrave profile for my 2nd cousin and her husband which is link up to her family members.
Is there any way you can deleted the two findagrave.com profiles you established since they are dupicated.
I have all that information on the ones I have established and it would be so much worked to redo all those lnks and information and pictures.
Here are the two you established that I am asking to be deleted:
Nora Barker #112418636 and her husband W Ernest barker # 111413611
Again I am sorry to asked you to deleted the ones you have established but again all the work I did take a lot of work to re do!!!!
I should put in the last name in the future to to make sure a findagrave.com profile has not been established on my family members
Thanks for understanding

RE: C S La(n)gston
I didn't notice it when I first clicked in, it took me a minute to realize there was not a N in it. I've been working on Ancestry.com with my family tree. You would not believe how many names are misspelled in the census records and other documents before 1900. Thanks for the correction.
Do you know if this is a man or woman? Also was this grave next to William Jasper Langston? I am 99% sure that she is Calidonia S. Powers Langston, Jasper's second wife.

There was a story on drudge from Chicago
Showing that the most strict gun laws ( Chicagos , illinois ) are ignored by the criminal element, who brazenly robbed a store with a gun, and that store was directly across the street from a police station.
By doing a bit of chronological data points charting the progression of gun laws compared to the lack of reduction in crimes as corresponding to those laws she can comprehensively prove, gun laws don't inhibit crime but do present criminals more easy victims.
Just a suggestion, good luck to her!

SOUTH BEND – Notre Dame linebacker Kerry Neal is a prime example of a player benefiting from the Irish's switch to a 3-4 defensive scheme.
Neal, who was a defensive end last season when Notre Dame was using four linemen in a 4-3 scheme, has climbed up the depth chart.
The senior, who had 25 tackles last season, passed linebackers Brian Smith and Steve Filer for the starting spot as an outside linebacker after starting fall camp behind fellow starter Darius Fleming at the other outside linebacker spot.
It's a big difference going from defensive end to outside linebacker, Neal said. There is more coverage. I'm in space and coverage and stuff like that. It's been fun.
Notre Dame's defense appears to be having more fun after giving up 397.8 yards and 25.9 points per game last season.
The change to the 3-4 defense has put a lot of the players back in the positions they were recruited at, and it changed the defense's outlook.
Everybody's attitude changed, everybody is more hungry, Neal said.
Linebacker Manti Te'o said the coaching staff and the excitement created by the scheme change are significant factors in the change of attitude.
It's always great when you have a spark, Te'o said. (The coaches) bring that spark and hint of excitement and passion to the game that players need. College students need that push.
Sophomore Carlo Calabrese, like Neal, has pushed his way to a starting role.
Calabrese was locked in a battle with Anthony McDonald for a starting inside linebacker spot alongside Te'o.
But coach Brian Kelly said McDonald's hyperextended right knee has left the junior questionable for the Sept. 4 season opener against Purdue.
Calabrese is in line to start, but Kelly said the linebacker needs to be more consistent.
We get a good day, bad day (from Calabrese), Kelly said. A lot of that is inexperience and getting comfortable with what the role is at that particular position.
Players' roles are just part of what will make the 3-4 scheme work.
Another is the work defensive coordinator Bob Diaco and the staff put in to deliver a defined message of what is expected from the players.
We communicate with them in a demanding, intense way, but it is not dehumanizing. It is not demoralizing, Diaco said. We are not interested in tearing people down.
We are interested in being positive and building them up.
Defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore said coaches talk with energy and passion and a trust has built up between the players and staff.
And even when a coach criticizes a player, it will not be degrading.
They are going to tell you what you did wrong, and they are going to love you at the end of the day, Lewis-Moore said. It's a pretty big change (from last year). We will leave it at that.

Master Jonathan Blæcstan reached out to me to create word's for Hlæfdige Arastorm the Golden's Laurel Scroll. For those that do not know her, Hlæfdige Arastorm is a great authority on many topics tied in with Anglo-Saxon culture. Being that she's an Anglo-Saxon expert, naturally when Jon asked for some feedback on what she'd want in her Laurel scroll, Arastorm had some great ideas on how to make a persona-appropriate scroll. The Anglo-Saxon Charter.
After receiving an email with some of the intended ideas for her scroll, I got to researching Anglo-Saxon charters. Which, are occasionally… very entertaining, but only occasionally. They certainly have an interesting format, and would have the "signatures" of all those present when the document was 'officiated' – for lack of a better, more relevant term. I posit that the signatures are actually oft-times just the names of all those present penned by the scribe who created the document, or clerk who was managing the paperwork that day. In many of the actual charters I reviewed online, many of the signatures look very uniform. More research would be necessary to determine if this is actually true.
So I found a text, and I felt I could incorporate the elements that had been requested into the scroll. Here's the original text I primarily worked off of:
In nomine domini et salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi.
This document declares that King Æthelwulf granted to God and St. Peter and the community at Old Minster in Winchester 20 hides of land at Wanborough, when, with the consent of his councillors, he granted a tenth part of all his lands throughout all his kingdom to holy foundations for the praise of God and the eternal redemption of his soul; and he commanded that in the name of God Almighty and of all his saints, that no king after his time or any other man should ever alter this, but that the property should always belong undisputed to the holy foundation; and if anyone altered it, he should be accursed by God and by St. Peter, both during his life and after his death, unless he amends for it. And this was done in the year after 854 years had passed since the birth of Christ, with the cognisance of the councillors whose names are recorded here below…
So lots of mentions of holy-bits here, and for obvious reason, and not knowing the recipient by more than reputation and a few chance meetings, I decided to try and work around them. In other Anglo-Saxon Charters you find that there's a tigthe paid on what's been granted very often, and that was one of the elements that was requested. I pulled a few other elements from other charters in the same source, which also includes the Old English versions. The one I referenced above, is number VIII and is found of the page marked 15.
I spoke with Eorl Kenric æt Essex and Hlæfdige Avelina Keyes about the Charter, and learned from Kenric that titles weren't really used, because they knew who they were talking about already in the document, so the title wasn't necessary, and got the tip about the latin titles following sigatures. Many of the virtues perscribed in this scroll come from Arastorm's own words on the virtues of a Peer.
This document declares that Emperor Brennan and Empress Caoilfhionn granted to Arastorm companionship in their Order of the Laurel, when, with the consent of their councilors, they granted induction for her many publications and teachings on Anglo-Saxon subjects. They granted this on the condition that she remains every year unto them and their heirs an example of courtesy and chivalry for the kingdom, supports and upholds the laws of the kingdom, enriches the kingdom through sharing her wealth of knowledge, and advises them on the advancement of candidates for the Laurel. And they commanded in the name of the Eastern Crown and of all its entities, that no emperor or empress after their time or any other man should ever alter this, but that this charter should always belong undisputed to Arastorm; and if anyone should alter it, he should be accursed by all things honorable, courageous, loyal, and generous, both during his life and after his death, unless he made amends for it. And this was done in the year after 49 years had passed since the birth of our Society, in the royal manor called Bergental, on the twentieth day of September, with the cognisance of the councillors whose names are recorded here below
[Brennan] Rex
[Keelin] Regina
[Eadweard] Princeps
[Thyra] Principessa
And here's a finished copy of the scroll, photo courtesy Hlæfdige Arastorm. The Calligraphy and Illumination are by Master Jonathan Blacstean. The signatures are from those present at the ceremony, and really help make the document look like a real Anglo-Saxon Charter in my opinion.
The scroll was given at The Rose Tourney on September 20th, 2014 by TRM Brennan and Caoilfhionn.

Step 1
Cut a strip of paper from a magazine, wrapping paper, or anything else. Measurements depend on how big you want your stars to be... I used the height of a magazine and about 1,5 cm wide...
Step 2
Put the long end of the strip through the loop...
Step 3
Pull the paper gently as tight as possible, so it will automaticly form a pentagon.
Fold the short end to the middle of the pentagon.
Step 4
Wrap the long end of the paper strip round and round the pentagon. It almost automaticly turns to the right angle.
Step 5
Put the end of the paper under the previous 'loops'.
Step 6
Start pinching gently on the edges of the form.
Your star will puff up on both sides.
This requires some practice and may go wrong a few times!
Also depends on the strengh and thickness of the paper...

This is the first "star" tutorial that actually makes sense and works....and in the comments below there are some other helpful suggestions as well. These are beautiful. Can't wait to make a bunch and put on some string to make a mobile...I think it will look amazing. Thank you!
cover in varnich or tape for another perfect look
CO + K User
I thought these were impossible after about 100 tries! How? But then I figured out a few things and now I can make perfect ones! These are the things I found out: when you make the beginning knot, you don't press down and crease it like normal origami. Also- Keep wrapping until the WHOLE strip is used up! It should be PRETTY THICK by the time you are done. The strip of magazine I used for the best one I made was less than a centimeter thick! Another thing was I don't really have nails so using a coin to press in the sides was useful. These things helped me a lot. Hope they help you!
it looks so cute!!
i made thoughs in to a braslet once.......

This paper derives and documents key algorithms that enable one to write their own date class. The purpose of this paper is to allow everyone to easily write their own date class, using algorithms that are well documented, and easily modified to meet individual needs. The algorithms presented are efficient. They require no external tables. They do not require C++11 or C++1y features, though if C++11 is available, the algorithms should be noexcept, and if C++1y is available, they can trivially be made constexpr.

Mac Alternative?
Likes # 0
Posted December 5, 2012 at 3:08PM
I am researching laptop options for a "mac" alternative to use for media. I am a mac user, and love the power of my macbook pro, but the project that I am purchasing this for is a community project and not a lot of volunteers who may be using this would be comfortable or competent using a mac. Therefore, its probably going to be a windows based option. We want to use it for playing videos overhead, powerpoint/keynote, through to everyday use. I have around £1k to spend and I am willing to wait until the January sales, but need it before Feb 6th when I will test run it by running a presentation on it to prospective investors. The project is a non-profit UK registered charity.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I like the idea of a laptop converting to a tablet….
So we like this: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/dell-xps-12-review-50009038/

The machine you've linked to is an excellent choice. Apart from its ability to transform itself into a tablet its build quality makes it the ideal computer for the hard work it's going to do.
Frankly I wouldn't look any further.

"Game rentals through Redbox are now on, starting today in about 21,000 Wal-Mart stores and gas station locations across the U.S. The cost will be $2 per day and the kiosks will feature Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 titles. Redbox is not commenting on how many game titles they are planning on loading into each kiosk. Those that rent a game from Redbox and keep the title for 30 days will be charged $60, and they can keep the game. From our understanding, there is no plan to send the box to those that end up purchasing a title."
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum." Is only one of many great iconic lines that put the Duke Nukem games into our list of cult classics. Ever since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced by 3D Realms back in 1997 our anticipation of another boundless action packed video game has been high. Sadly this game has been riddled with an exceedingly great many delays, therefore after 13 years, was it worth the wait?

"Despite previously insisting that dedicated servers were not the direction that Infinity Ward was going with upcoming release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, we are hearing that Infinity Ward is doing some serious back pedaling; and at least having discussions about dedicated servers for the PC community, and what it might look like if they were going to do it.
"So, PS Vita will go for $249 for the WiFi-only model whereas the 3G one will cost $299. They will be available through AT&T exclusively. As we've grown to expect, Europeans will pay the same price, although in euros. The PS Vita has a 5-inch multi-touch OLED display, rear multi-touch pad, two analog sticks as well as front and rear facing cameras. It will also include preinstalled app dubbed "Party", which will enable users to do voice and text chat. Hirai confirmed that the device will ship globally starting from the holiday season 2011."

Under the hood, the brand-new engine ensures cutting-edge visuals and immersion," Karl Magnus Troedsson, the general manager of DICE, wrote.
"Many rumors were floating around that the MW3 server support would be closer to what we saw in call of Duty Black Ops, which offers at least some limited capacity dedicated server support.

I am trying to write some code which identifies the greatest two values for each row and provides their column number and value.
df = data.frame( car = c (2,1,1,1,0), bus = c (0,2,0,1,0),
walk = c (0,3,2,0,0), bike = c(0,4,0,0,1))
I've managed to get it to do this for the maximum value using the
max and
max.col functions.
df$max = max.col(df,ties.method="first")
df$val = apply(df[ ,1:4], 1, max)
As far as I know there are no equivalent functions for the second highest value so doing this has made things a little trickier. Using this code provides the second highest value but (importantly) not in situations with ties. Also it looks risky.
sec.fun <- function (x) {
max( x[x!=max(x)] )
df$val2 <- apply(df[ ,1:4], 1, sec.fun)
Ideally the solution would not involve removing any original data and could be used to find the third, fourth... highest value but neither of these are essential requirements.
Thanks for reading.

Accused Hampton drug dealer tied to fatal crash involving cyclists challenges evidence
Cindy Sheppard, 48, of Hampton, is challenging search warrants that Hampton police used to raid her home and led to her arrest in June. JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE PHOTO
A second warrant relies entirely on an anonymous source at the Rockingham County jail and text messages that "the police are assuming were sent by Cindy Sheppard," according to Reardon.
The search warrants have remained under seal by a judge. Prosecutors have yet to respond to Sheppard's claims.
A decision would likely have no bearing on additional charges Sheppard faces in connection with allegedly providing a dose of Fentanyl to 19-year-old Darriean Hess.
The women were participating in the Granite State Wheelmen Seacoast Century Ride. Two other cyclists, Uwe Uhmeyer, 60, and Margo Heigh, 54, also of Massachusetts, were injured.
Prosecutors said at a bail hearing in September that Sheppard operated a "drug enterprise" from her home.
Police learned about her alleged drug business after monitoring phone records of another person, according to prosecutors.

I have acquired an antique photo, circa 1880-1910, taken at Grebe & Shelters studio in Rockport, MO. On the back is says "Henry Biehl and Family." The photo was located in Ohio. Henry and his unnamed wife appear to be approximately 30 years old in the photo. Their unnamed daughter appears to be 8-10 years old. Facial features of father and daughter are strikingly similar to those of my father, grandson of Mary Agatha Biehl Greenwood of Buffalo, NY. Seeking the descendants of this Biehl family to compare genealogical information. Please contact me by private e-mail. (Click on my name above this message to get my e-mail address.)

When resort meets theme park
Set on Spain's Costa Dorada, PortAventura isn't so much a resort as a whopping great big theme park with hotels on the side. The place pulls in over 3 million visitors a year and it's easy to see why. You've got a one-stop holiday here, with loads of white-knuckle rides, a waterpark and all-you-can-fit-in family entertainment.
Packed with rides
PortAventura Park is divided up into themed zones – so you could be watching a Wild West shoot-out one minute, and eating Mexican tacos the next. When it comes to the rides, you've got some major record-breakers here – Shambhala is the highest rollercoaster, and the fastest hypercoaster in Europe, while Furius Baco is the world's speediest accelerator. Between corkscrews and loop-the-loops, you'll get can-can shows, back-flipping acrobats and kids' discos.
Beach life
PortAventura takes care of everything – including the beach. There's a manmade one at the lagoon of Bahamas Beach here. With palm trees for shade and reggae music filling the air, you can lie back and sunbathe Caribbean-style. If you want the real deal on the sand front, though, the resorts of Cambrils and Salou are only 15 minutes' drive away.
Day trips to Barcelona
From here, you can easily get to Barcelona in an hour. The 2 top sights here belong to Gaudí – his unfinished cathedral, La Sagrada Familia, and the quirky Parque Guell. Elsewhere you've got the famous Las Ramblas with its line-up of florist stalls and restaurants, and Porto Olimpico – the city's swanky marina. And of course wherever you go, the tapas are second to none.
