San Francisco CA Fisherman's Wharf
California Hotels, Travel Guide
Fisherman's Wharf:
Fisherman's Wharf is located oceanside along the northern edge of San Francisco and is made up of piers that extend into the Bay. From Fisherman's Wharf you can board a ferry that will take you to Alcatraz, which is San Francisco's top attraction with more than a million visitors annually.
Although Fisherman's Wharf is catering to the tourist, you will find much of interest among the tee shirt shops and souvenir stands.
Pier 39 is a top attraction in the area with serveral nice restaurants and frequent open air shows which inevitably "pass the hat" to accept your contributions. Among the restaurants of Pier 39, we like Neptune's Palace for the unequalled seafood offered there.
Fisherman's Wharf is easily accessible from most hotels via the cable car line that has frequent stops throughout San Francisco's at various popular attractions.

February 2012: Sewer company boss: I was told to hide Daley son's role
BY TIM NOVAK Staff email@example.com
Story originally published Feb. 25, 2012
At first, when he spoke with investigators on March 10, 2008, Tony Duffy blamed his own "carelessness and negligence" for omitting the names of Patrick R. Daley and Robert G. Vanecko from the ownership documents that Municipal Sewer Services was required to file with City Hall to get millions of dollars worth of city business.
But that was a lie, according to Duffy. He now says he didn't know at first about Daley and Vanecko's involvement. He says that, when he found out, he went to Joseph M. McInerney, a principal in Cardinal Growth, a Chicago venture capital firm that also invested in the sewer company, and that McInerney "directed" him not to change the ownership-disclosure filing, to "keep it the same," according to court records and sources familiar with the case.
McInerney is a friend of Patrick Daley.
Duffy changed his story as part of his plea agreement with federal prosecutors. He did so in hopes of avoiding deportation to his native Scotland, according to his attorney, John Meyer.
Duffy, 47, is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. He and his wife live in Bartlett.
Duffy, who could not be reached for comment, pleaded guilty to lying to a federal agent.
He initially was charged last year with three counts of mail fraud, accused of participating in a fraudulent minority-contracting scheme with Jesse Brunt, the owner of Brunt Bros. Transfer Inc., to obtain city contracts to inspect and clean Chicago sewers.
Brunt — whose company also had gotten city work through the now-disbanded Hired Truck Program — is also expected to plead guilty in the case.
Brunt's company had been certified by City Hall as a minority-owned and operated business. That helped him land millions of dollars in city business set aside for minority-owned companies. But Brunt's company didn't do most of the sewer work, according to prosecutors.
Patrick Daley and his cousin — neither who could be reached for comment — haven't been charged with any crime.
The federal investigation of the sewer deal began after the Chicago Sun-Times reported in December 2007 that Patrick Daley and Vanecko had secretly held an ownership stake in the sewer company. MSS was given more than $4 million in no-bid contract extensions from Mayor Daley's administration during the time the mayor's son and nephew had a stake in the company, the Sun-Times reported.
The then-mayor said he didn't know his son and nephew were involved until the Sun-Times revealed that.
Duffy says the sewer company might have faced "greater scrutiny" if he'd disclosed that his partners included the mayor's son and nephew, according to his plea agreement, entered before Senior U.S. District Court Milton Shadur.
Duffy was the president of Municipal Sewer Services, which he founded in 2003 with investments from Cardinal Growth, whose principals were McInerney and Robert Bobb Jr., a friend of Mayor Daley. The mayor's son and nephew invested $65,000.
Municipal Sewer Services took over two city contracts that previously were held by Duffy's former employer, Kenny Industrial Services, which had gone bankrupt. MSS also took over Kenny's role as a subcontractor to Brunt, responsible for inspecting and cleaning city sewers south of 63rd Street.
Patrick Daley and Vanecko cashed out their stake in MSS at the end of 2004, as the heat was on at City Hall, with federal investigators interviewing the operators of all companies involved in the Hired Truck Program, including Brunt Brothers.
Patrick Daley subsequently enlisted in the Army, though he kept his venture capital business and his vehicle registered at McInerney's Cardinal Growth offices at 311 S. Wacker.
Cardinal Growth had invested in Concourse Communications, a company the city of Chicago hired in September 2005 to install Wi-Fi Internet service at O'Hare and Midway airports. After the system was installed, Concourse Communications was sold — a deal that made $708,999 for Patrick Daley, who had helped find investors for the company.
The U.S. Small Business Administration took control of Cardinal Growth last summer, saying the venture capital firm owed taxpayers $21.4 million. Bobb and McInerney were ousted from Cardinal Growth, which had borrowed more than $50 million from the SBA over a decade — money they used to invest in companies including Municipal Sewer Services, which went out of business four years ago amid the investigation by the FBI and the city inspector general's office.

GA: Campaign Incident Leads to Proposed Policy
July 28--An attorney for the Macon Transit Authority is in the process of drawing up a new policy that would restrict political campaigning at Terminal Station after a July 19 incident between a volunteer for mayoral candidate C. Jack Ellis and Rick Jones, the MTA's general manager.
MTA attorney Brad Wilson said Wednesday he is researching what steps need to be taken to post signs at Terminal Station and on city buses that would restrict political campaigning.
Craig Ross, vice president of the MTA's board, said Wednesday the proposed policy stems from a primary election day incident when an unidentified Ellis volunteer, who was at the bus depot with Ellis and other volunteers, allegedly threatened Jones' job if he didn't support Ellis.
Jones said he felt "threatened" when the campaign volunteer -- who remains unidentified -- addressed him and MTA Chief Operating Officer Clarita Smith after trying to hand Jones an Ellis campaign flier.
"(The volunteer) threatened my job," Jones said. "He said, 'If you don't support this man, you will be out of a job tomorrow.' "
Video of the incident, which contains no audio, shows the volunteer, who was wearing an Ellis campaign T-shirt, attempting to hand Jones a flier. In the video, Jones is seen trying to give the flier back to the volunteer. The volunteer then said something to Jones and Smith, turned to walk away, then said something else, the video shows.
A couple of minutes later, the video shows Jones and Smith talking with Ellis in the bus depot lobby. At one point, Jones points to the campaign volunteer, who was standing outside. Jones said Ellis told him that the man was a volunteer and that Ellis didn't share his opinion about Jones' job security.
Jones said Ellis didn't offer an apology.
Asked about the incident Wednesday, Ellis said he considers the incident overblown.
"I'm focusing on transportation issues," Ellis said. "This is a non-issue."
The relationship between Ellis and the MTA has been strained ever since Ellis called a news conference a couple of weeks ago at Terminal Station, when he said he wanted to increase fares, add Sunday bus service and build bus shelters at every stop.
Ellis said Wednesday that he thinks the MTA is trying to get back at him for positions he took at his news conference.
"Rick Jones needs to stay out of politics," Ellis said. "Maybe this has something to do with the negative comments about my plans for Sunday bus routes and shelters."
Ross said Ellis made his comments about how he wanted to expand the MTA services and increase the fares without consulting either the MTA staff or board. Ellis and his staff also showed up at the bus depot on the day of the primary to hand out campaign materials without first asking for the authority's approval, Ross said.
Ross also noted that former mayoral candidate Paul Bronson asked permission from transit authority officials a few weeks ago to campaign at Terminal Station. When officials checked with the Georgia Department of Transportation, the state agency told the MTA not to allow any campaigning, saying it could jeopardize federal funding. Ross said Bronson was fine with the decision.
"(Bronson) had the courtesy to call us," Ross said.
Ross said Ellis' bus service proposals are impractical. Ross said the fare increase wouldn't mean a substantial rise in revenue and likely would lead to lower ridership. Ross also said the MTA doesn't have the money to build shelters at every stop, nor can it run Sunday routes.
"We've asked many mayors, including Jack, about (Sunday routes)," Ross said. "We need extra funds. It would cost an extra $300,000 (annually) to add the one-day service. Even with that, it would be a limited service. There's no federal funds for operations like that."
Ross said the MTA wants to maintain a good relationship with whomever is elected mayor in the Aug. 16 runoff between Ellis and Macon Mayor Robert Reichert.
"We're trying to work with everybody," he said. "We don't want to be involved with politics. When Ellis was mayor the first time, we had a good relationship, and we have a good relationship with Reichert."

What has diapering twins been like? It ain't too bad. Crazy at times. Well....thank goodness for the convenience of disposable diapers. In my dazed 1am feeding times 2....then 3am feeding times 2...Being half asleep I do like the ease of change and toss. Mind you I know All in One cloth diapers are just as easy but don't forget... their size and laundry was the main issue of not cloth diapering. I already knew which brands I'd use for changing my girls in disposables. It had to be green, the GMO free corn is a bonus, they had to be biodegradable and the brands I love are Delora and Naty Diapers. Naty diapers are my favourite next to the PC Green brand too.
It's double the work and double the fun... Well....maybe not that fun but double the "No! Don't touch that! That's your sisters dirty diaper!!!!"
I also really appreciated the not rolling over phase. Having two rolling over is a nightmare with diaper change. I mean what the heck? Why is it that all of a sudden once they figure out how to roll over when it comes to changing their diaper you have to be Speedy Gonzalez? From legs kicking me in the chest(when your breasts are full a swift kick hurst!) to wiggles and back arches it's like they are saying "Get me outta here!" and believe me...I don't want to be here either. When husband comes home from work I pass all the diapering duties on to him. My son was never this wiggly. I've gotten poop on my fingers trying to grab the diaper so the other twin doesn't dart to it to being peed on.
For some reason they are fascinated by diapers. Now that the twins are more mobile they are even more so fascinated with each others time to change. It never fails. I'll be changing Banana and Sugar will come along and touch and look and try to take the dirty diaper and vice versa. God forbid I am with one twin over the other. Don't even get me started on breast feeding. Sugar will make Banana unlatch and go right in where Banana left off! That's a whole other story.
So it's double the work and double the cost. What are my diapering tips?
- Have everything ready and with in reach
- Look online for coupons and deals
- Have a sense of humour.
- Put one twin in the playpen so you can change safely and quickly. Or like me let them watch and let them grab everything you need ;)
- We skipped on the change table. We change where ever and have diapers and wipes in every room!
Always on the go. These little bums never stop moving!
Enlighten me. Do you have any funny diapering stories? Any one roll off the couch yet? We've come close!

Summer of HPC 2014
Would you like to spend the summer working abroad at an European High Performance Computing (HPC) Centre?
Are you interested in programming and are eager to improve your skills?
Have you a passion for visualising scientific data in novel ways to grab the attention of the general public?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions the Summer of HPC is for you! Read on to find out more information about the programme.
PRACE is pleased to announce the PRACE Summer of HPC Programme – a summer placement programme for undergraduate and postgraduate students in 2014.
SoHPC14' Best Student Prize winner: Nicola Luminari
We are happy to announce that Nicola Luminari from Italy has won the SoHPC14 Best Student Prize! Nicola was on placement through the programme in the Czech Republic at IT4Innovations(VSB-Technical University of Ostrava), under the supervision of his project mentor Tomas Karasek Ph.D. Nicola and a fellow SoHPC student Martin Weber from Austria worked on the same project with the objective to develop a car racing game, which can demonstrate the capabilities and application of HPC systems. This game will be used to promote HPC among young people. In the game players have the freedom to modify the design of the car (size, shape, etc.), which impacts its chance to win the race. Through this game the basics of fluid dynamics (i.e. aerodynamics) and the effect of drag coefficient on car performance (car speed) is demonstrated.
Nicola demonstrated high technical skills far exceeding the level expected from students of his age. He was working on the physical aspect of the game and developed an automated CFD simulation of the external aerodynamics of the car. This simulation is performed to establish the drag coefficient of the car and its value is passed back to the game. Nicola created a whole workflow i.e. automated mesh generation and numerical simulation using the open source code OpenFOAM. Apart from this he had to perform a lot of numerical simulations on the IT4Innovations cluster Anselm. Among these simulations were
- Automatic mesh generation.
- Sensitivity analysis to obtain mesh independent drag coefficient.
- Scalability tests for mesh obtained from the previous step to establish optimal number of cores to be used in the game.
It was very impressive how quickly he was able to learn new skills and how he solved problems, which emerged during the development of the game. His very pro-active attitude allowed us not only to finish this game on time but we were also able to include more features than originally expected.
It is only thanks to the team's very hard work and devotion to this project that we have very nice looking game which is not only be entertaining but will also educate the younger generation. Without Nicola there wouldn't be any physics behind this game and thus the game would lose much of its educational value.
Thanks to all participants for your hard work on projects of SoHPC 2014!

The X Factor Top 9 Results: Two More Go Homeby Dan Forcella at . Comments
In a special double elimination results show on The X Factor, America sent two acts home, leaving the final seven to contend for the championship. After listening to a pair of performances by Kelly Clarkson and Bruno Mars, the results came quickly.
First, Steve Jones brought Drew and Lakoda Rayne out in front, noted that one would be in, and the other received the least amount of votes by America, and would be leaving the competition. As I predicted last night, the Rayne girls were the first to go tonight, while Drew moved onto next week's Top Seven.
It was then time to pick the next two lowest vote-getters, and five of the six acts joining Drew in the next round. The advancing contestants were. in no particular order; Chris Rene, Rachel Crow, Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro and Astro.
That means that Marcus Canty and LeRoy Bell gathered the second and third least amount of votes in the bunch. It came down to the judges' pick and here is what they decided...
L.A. went with his boy Marcus Canty.
Nicole Scherzinger went with her man Leroy Bell.
Paula put some thought into it, but chose to save LeRoy because his Showdown performance was better (which it definitely was).
Simon then decided to put it in the hands of America, picking Marcus to make it a 2-2 tie.
Going by the final America's vote tally, the second contestant eliminated this week was...Leroy Bell. Marcus Canty moves on this week.
There was not nearly as much drama as last week's Astro-pocalypse, but the field was cut from nine to seven, which is serious business. Two of the seven - Astro and Marcus Canty - have been among the bottom vote-getters. Who among Drew, Rachel, Josh, Chris, and Melanie is leading the way? I think any one of those five could take it, but my money is on Josh Krajcik.
What do you think?
Dan Forcella is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: The X Factor
Leroy bell has given up singing in competitions and just signed up for social security. he now sings at his nursing home where he lives. Good luck leroy.
That asshole oh I'm sorry I meant astro he should have never been given a spot right from the start he was a little smart ass right from the begining and his parents thinks he's cute. he needs someone to kick him in the ass and then put there foot in his parents ass to. this was a singing competition not a rap competition i dont think it fair to the others who are singing. get rid of that little cry baby and have him take that wash-up LA Reed with him. LA dont know talant if it slapped him on that big ass bone head. Simon's the man
Am jus lovin d results .My favorites are still in the runninn for the money. I strongly agree with the result from last week and good luck 2 astro,Rachel and Marcus.
It's been obvious since before the live shows that Astro and Drew need to be gone. Both are one trick ponies. One a bad rapper, the other a bad yodeler, neither a singer. Saw some guy bragging the other day about an app he has for Verizon which allows him to vote for Drew twice a second for the entire two hours the voting is open after a show. That's 14,400 times, folks. He was encouraging others to get the app and do the same. So now we see why Drew is still there. Technology, not talent. Too bad they can't set it up for 1 vote per phone number, cellular SIM card or ISP address. We'd get a truer picture of what America REALLY thinks.
Astro should have gone home..! that cocky ass cant even sing a note!
Chris Rene does not have the best vocals but he sure is the front runner to win the x-factor.
I love the show but I am disappointed in Simon not taking the responsibility to send Marcus Canty home. The judges are supposed to vote on the performance of the bottom two contestants to save one of their lives. Leroy Bell was far superior in his singing at this junction than was Marcus. I do like Marcus but those are supposed to be the show's rules. Simon gets angry at L.A.Reid for not giving proper criticism to his contestants, yet he failed to step up to the plate and save Leroy Bell who deserved to be saved this evening. Not a fair result, and not a wise and strong decision on Simon's part. Leroy is amazing and should have been allowed to remain in the competition! I am disappointed in Simon and his failure to take the appropriate decision. Very out of his character!!!!

Great Gear from Outdoor Retailer Trade Show
Twice a year, once in February and once in August, Salt Lake City becomes the center of the outdoor retailing world. OR, as it has come to be known, is the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show where everybody who is anybody in the outdoor business meets to talk gear and adventure. Here are three great products, which represent the best in outdoor gear.
Teva Chair 5• This boot from Teva proves their R&D gurus are thinking outside of the winter boot box. Lightweight and waterproof this packable boot is still extremely warm. Lined with 250 grams of 3M Thinsulate the Chair 5 is going to be the pair to draw to when cold weather hits and the snow is getting deep. Available August 2012 • Estimated retail price to be announced.
Petzl NAO Headlamp • The light beam on the new NAO Headlamp is "intelligent," meaning that it can sense what and where you are pointing it and adjust accordingly. If you are digging around in your canoe pack at 3:00 am the 355 lumen lamp will soften, save energy, and not give you a blast of light to your face. Likewise, point it at that far-off bear coming into your camp and Yogi will get the full treatment, lighting up like a Christmas tree. Available July 2012 • Estimated retail: $175.
SmartWool PhD SmartLoft Divide • Here is a jacket, which is stuffed with fluffed-up Merino wool just like the feathers in your goose down jackets. This new design by SmartWool is proclaimed to be just as warm as down, even if it gets wet. The line will debut in the fall of this year with the Merino insulation and a weather-resistant shell. Available Fall 2012 • Estimated retail: $200.
And that is just a sample of all the cool gear coming to market in the next few months. Keep checking back here, and I will let you know of the great gear finds perfect for your outdoor adventure.

Great New Outdoor Adventure Product for 2012: Slat Grill
Here is one of the great new products for your outdoor adventures in 2012. The Slat Grill designed by Chris Weyandt of St. Paul, MN and built in the USA is perfect for camping, hiking, or any other trek into the woods. This grill is simple to set up and use, extremely versatile in heat source and configuration. It is also extremely portable, packing down to just 18" by 5" by 2" in its handy, canvas carry case. When packed it will easily slide into the outer pockets on a #3 Cruiser or the Kitchen Pack.
The Slat Grill debuted at the Midwest Mountaineering Winter Expo in Minneapolis last month. That was the first chance I had to see it, and for me it was an instant hit. Chris had two different stoves going under the grill and was cooking up a storm. The Slat Grill will not only accommodate gas-fired stoves, but charcoal or a wonderful open campfire will serve as heat sources. The half moon cut outs allow for a remote fuel source such as the MSR WindPro and they also serve as vents to let fire breathe as needed.
Set up is amazingly easy and requires no tools. Assemble the expedition grade box, (measures 18″x12″x4″) lay in the slats, or skewers, and use the chains to move it into position over the fire. By configuring the nine slats in any way you like a variety of pots, pans, or griddles can sit on top. Made from hard-anodized, lightweight aluminum the grill will take on a nice patina over time, but it is corrosion resistant, and clean up is easy with a scrubbie and some Bar Keepers Friend. And best of all, it is guaranteed for life.
As you make your plan to head into the Quetico next summer, you must have the Slat Grill on your gear list. Remember there are no fire grates in the Quetico. And, just imagine after a long hard push across the Yum-Yum portage sitting back and watching steaks sizzle on the Slat Grill. Great meals make for great canoe trips.
Keep checking in with the blog during the next couple of weeks as I bring you more great outdoor adventure products for 2012.
Cheers and Happy New Year!
Biggest Outdoor Adventure Stories of 2011; Part 1
The end of 2011 draws closer and the popular thing to do is put out lists summarizing the year previous. Well, here I am sucked into the trend, hand-picking and choosing the stories that stick out in my mind as memorable ones. Please enjoy the first four of my eight biggest, outdoor adventure stories of 2011.
8. Surfing the World's Tallest Wave • Rumor has it that Garrett McNamara has surfed a 90-foot wave off of Portugal during the ZON North Canyon show of 2011. Buddies surfing with him confirm they all rode waves in the 60+ range. Then McNamara got on a wave that was reported by his surfing partners as 30 feet larger. We will keep you updated as we confirm this amazing ride.
7. Minnesotan Attempts to Solo Climb Denali • In January of 2011 Lonnie Dupre, winner of the Rolex Award for Enterprise attempted a solo summit of Denali. Dupre, from Grand Marais, Minnesota was hoping to be the first to reach the top of Denali solo in January. He reached the height of 17,200 feet before being pinned down for six days by a storm bearing 100 mph winds. In addition to the storm an earthquake of 5.4 magnitude just 30 miles away. Rumor has it that he will try the solo summit again in the January of 2012.
6. 881-Pound Tuna Seized by Federal Authorities • While I realize a very similar story was reported in 2010, these giant fish stories fascinate me. Seems Carlos Rafael and his crew were fishing off Massachusetts and snagged the massive fish in their nets. Only problem is: tuna are only legally caught on rod and reel so the Feds took control of the giant Bluefin, and left Mr. Rafael high and dry.
5. Hudson Bay Bound • Two recent graduates of St. Olaf College are the first women to trace the 2250 mile route made famous by Eric Severeid in the book Canoeing with the Cree. Ann Raiho and Natalie Warren left Fort Snelling on June 2nd and arrived at York Factory on Hudson Bay 85 days later, one week ahead of schedule.
There you have it, part one of the biggest outdoor adventure stories of 2011. What have I missed? What was the biggest story of the year in your memory? Maybe your story will make part two of my list, or leave me a comment below and tell me what you think.

Guest post by Monique Germon
Claire Scobie gave a informative workshop yesterday at the State Libray of NSW, as part of The Sydney Writer's Festival workshop program. This sold out, day-long workshop was on the art of the travel memoir and how one goes about putting their travel experiences onto paper.
Claire shared with participants her intimate knowledge of this genre,speaking about her own experiences of exploration and how this led to the publication of her travel memoir, Last Seen in Lhasa. Topics were covered such as honing in on the unique elements within your particular story, the difference between narrative and emotional arcs, the several ways one can craft plot and the different genres within travel writing itself.
What should you reveal?
The most notable conversation began with that big question 'How much of yourself are you willing to put into the story?' This of course led the group into a thorough critique of Elizabeth Gilbert's best seller, Eat Pray Love. As always, the room was divided into two camps and we discussed the "how brave-ness" (or "oh god-ness") of the author's willingness to bare all as well as the question, was it a well written travel memoir anyway? I had a personal "a-ha" moment, as I privately battle with both camps inside of myself. I loved the book, I read it at home and then in the Himalayas when I really needed a familiar "friend" but most of my more intellectual mates despise it with a pride-filled passion and deep down I know that I would rather quote Robert Dessaix any old day.
Claire was asked by a workshop participant about her own choices concerning privacy whilst writing Last Seen in Lhasa, which is as much the story of Claire's intimate friendship with a Tibetan nun, as it is a tale of adventure. Her reply, "Of course the first thing I did was give Ani a new name. It's important to get permission from any potential characters in your story."
Allow readers to create and explore
Regardless, what I realised is that those who were critical of too much of the personal, too much 'I' in the travel memoir felt robbed of the freedom and joy that author's give readers, through an invitation to create and explore, which comes only from not being told too much. Certainly something to think about before we put pen to paper and share our personal adventures, as well as the ethical questions around sharing the lives of others, which was also a big topic and rightly so. Though I am sure that Ketut, the palm reader/medicine man from Eat Pray Love who prophesied Liz's journey, is probably quite okay with it all!

The wonderful Irish actor Chris O'Dowd, who played the laid-back highway patrolman in Bridesmaids (2011), stars as Dave Lovelace, a musician living out of his car who stumbles upon a gifted girl group in rural Australia circa 1968. The four young women are Aboriginals, and as such are shunned and abused by white neighbors they've known all their lives. When Julie (Jessica Mauboy), the one with the really great voice, sees an advertisement seeking acts to perform for American troops in Vietnam, she convinces the others (Deborah Mailman, Shari Sebbens, and Miranda Tapsell) to audition. After Dave encourages the girls to switch their repertoire from Merle Haggard to Otis Redding tunes, the girls soon find themselves performing in Saigon and the war zone beyond. First-time director Wayne Blair and screenwriters Keith Thompson and Tony Briggs, adapting Briggs's stage play, don't shy away from the era's social complexities, but they keep their eye on the ball, which in this case is the sweet pull of soul tune harmony. Why resist?

Marilyn Roberts was born in North Lincolnshire and has lived there for the greater part of her life. She was educated at Didsbury College, Manchester, and the University of Hull, from where in the 1970's she was awarded a Master's degree in the History and Politics of the Administration of Education in England and Wales. She was forced to take early retirement because of ill health in the 1990's and has since embarked on a new career as a writer and lecturer and is also a Collections Care Co-
Marilyn's major area of research, The Mowbray Legacy, initially intended for local interest only, has attracted attention from many parts of the world. This book was fully revised and reprinted in 2012 and we are confident that, beginning as it does with the Norman Conquest and ending with the death in 1481 of Lady Anne Mowbray, the last of her line and child bride of one of the Princes in the Tower, it is unique in offering an overview of the entire dynasty, ancestors of the Howard Dukes of Norfolk.
Our current publications include:
The Mowbray Legacy
The story of one of England's greatest medieval families
Lady Anne Mowbray – The High and Excellent Princess
The story of the five-
Trouble in Paradise
Queen Katherine Howard, the Dowager Duchess and Norfolk House, Lambeth

The children and grandchildren

*SOLD OUT; possible revision and reprinting in 2016
Research on Mowbray London connections has led to two further books, which were at first intended as appendices to The Mowbray Legacy, but became too big for that purpose. The first, published in the autumn of 2013, is concerned with the last member of the family, Lady Anne Mowbray, who as a five-
In May 2013 Marilyn appeared as a guest speaker on the Alison Weir Lancaster and York tour when she guided participants around the area in East London where Anne Mowbray's remains had been found in 1964. In June she was invited to speak on The Six Wives of Henry VIII tour, drawing comparisons between Gainsborough Old Hall, where Katherine Howard stayed in 1541, and Norfolk House, Lambeth, where she had lived with her step-
NEWS, July 2014: Marilyn has been invited to speak about Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary on the Alison Weir Great Queens Tour in June 2015.
Although concerned mostly with the history of medieval and Tudor England, Marilyn Roberts has also carried out extensive research on the lives of the children and grandchildren of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, which can be found in The Bare Bones of Queen Victoria's Family Trees, published in 2012. We are proud to have been invited to supply this book to Gift Shops on the royal estate at Sandringham.
There are other projects in the pipeline – some, but not all, will be further offshoots from the original Mowbray Legacy.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Fisk Printers in Hull, and especially Andy Gill, who has a great deal more patience with my frequent changes of mind than I deserve. Thanks again, Andy!
Marilyn Roberts,

give it a try and let me know how you go.

There is no set of universal rules governing eligibility across the board for all Local Agencies in Clark County and conditions do vary from one to another.
See Local Food Agencies.
As of October 1st 2008 the federal Food Stamp Program administered by the USDA, was renamed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This new name reflects a focus on nutrition and putting healthy food within reach for low income households and individuals. SNAP helps low income people and families buy the food they need for maintaining good health. Each state is responsible for its own program which may or may not be called SNAP. To apply for benefits individuals or families must complete the application form for the state in which they reside. Benefits are provided on a card called an EBT (electronic benefit transfer) which is used like a debit card and is accepted at most grocery stores. Along with nutrition education partners SNAP also helps clients learn to make healthy eating and active lifestyle choices.
Eligibility is based on a number of factors related to family size as well as income. A family of 3 can make up to $1861.00 per month and still receive benefits. Before applying it would be helpful for people to know facts like earnings, rent or mortgage, utility bills, child support, day care expenses, medical bills and balances in their bank accounts.
In person applications can be completed at Columbia River Community Services Office #53 located at 5411 E. Mill Plain Blvd. Building #1. Phone number: (360) 759-2800

foreverHoping cleaning my room? It's pretty necessary
I have always gone through times of biting my nails, then letting them grow out, then biting them back… i have never really had exceptional nails, and they have never been strong, but I want that to change… Right now I have fake tips on my nails… I did them myself and right now my thumb hurts like hell… (I pulled it back really far, jamming it… owwww) Does anyone know if this allows the nail to grow? I hope I'm not ruining my nails… well, I'll only have them on for about a week, so no biggy.
I really want to grow my nails out so I can have real nails that are long and pretty, and not unsightly like my current nails… I should get more manicures too, to keep them healthy. From now on… no more biting my nails!

Knox County (WVLT) -- The man charged in the death of Johnia Berry appeared in a Knox County courtroom on some charges in connection with the case.
Taylor Lee Olson's attorney, Greg Isaacs, and District Attorney General Randy Nichols announced that Olson agreed to waive his preliminary hearing for theft and burglary charges, in exchange for the state agreeing to provide additional evidence to the defense.
Last week, Olson's attorney filed a motion asking for more information on a man named Noah Cox, an acquaintance of Olson's with a long criminal history.
Johnia's mother, Joan Berry, met with prosecutors on Monday about the case.
She tells Volunteer TV she isn't surprised that there may have been more people involved in her daughter's murder.
But she says she still believes that Olson is guilty, especially after his comments in front of the media after his arrest, in which he's heard saying "I'm sorry...I never meant for this to happen."
"There could be more people involved, we really don't know, we really don't have any idea. I Just feel like he had his chance to say he didn't do it, and he said he did it," said Joan Berry. "We want justice no matter how many people are involved, we want everybody held accountable."

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
"a returnee from New York Masha Gessen, self-described "Jewish Lesbian, a sworn enemy of the Putin regime", a blogger for the NY Times, "extremely influential", according to Newsweek, who has just published with Riverhead a book prophesying the swift fall of Putin, predicted (or called for) 200,000 angry Russians tearing down the walls of Kremlin and washing with blood the streets on March 5. Rarely has a forecast failed so profoundly."
Sounds like the ravings of a deluded pseudo-revolutionary.
Agree with this:
"In a way, it's a relief that this important country is in Mr Putin's hands."
Just another attempt by western NGO organizations to keep all but a few countries in the dark ages with continuous civil war. The worlds rich continue to keep not just a class gap but also a country gap between wealth and slavery.

China's evolving web of contracts
Despite archaic constitutional structures, the nation has built a modern industrial base through experimentation and adaptation
- Image Credit: Dana Shams/Gulf News
Hong Kong: In a recent article, the economist Axel Leijonhufvud defines the market system as a web of contracts. Because contracts are linked with each other, one default can trigger an avalanche of broken promises, "[making] it possible to destroy virtually the entire web of formal and informal contracts which the market system requires for its functioning." The state's role is to protect, enforce, and regulate these contracts and related property rights, as well as to intervene to prevent systemic failure.
This web of contracts — often taken for granted in mainstream economics, to the extent that it becomes almost invisible — embodies the formal and informal rules embedded in the market system that shape and constrain individual and social behaviour. They form the fabric of all human institutions.
Advanced economic systems have very complex webs of contracts, such as financial derivatives. For Europe, Leijonhufvud argues, this implies a three-pronged approach that focuses on "levels of leverage," "maturity mismatches," and "the topology of the web," — that is, "its connectivity and the presence of critical nodes that are 'too big to fail.'" This is because "[t]he web of contracts has developed serious inconsistencies." To insist that all contracts be fulfilled would "cause a collapse of very large portions of the web," with "serious economic and incalculable social and political consequences."
By contrast, emerging markets like China have less sophisticated systems and evolve more complex contractual/institutional links over time, particularly through globalised transactions. Under China's planned economy, most contracts were between individuals and the state, whereas more sophisticated market contracts have emerged or re-emerged only over the last 30 years. Indeed, the widespread use of market contracts with publicly owned companies was a recent and important adaptation in the move toward a "socialist market economy."
The web of contracts, however, can also be understood as complex adaptive market systems, which encompass the state and family relations as well. To understand China's socialist market economy, it is essential to examine systematically these different forms of contracts and their institutional structures.
Types of contracts
Family and kinship contracts, which govern marriage, adoption, cohabitation, inheritance, etc., form the basic unit of human society. These contracts are the most ancient and remain the foundation of social relationships in China today.
Corporate contracts place the profit-oriented legal person at the centre of the transaction and bind all of its stakeholders. Chinese corporate contracts have grown exponentially over the last 30 years, but they have special characteristics that reflect the primary role of Chinese state-owned enterprises.
Market contracts between producers and consumers — and/or among producers in supply chains — link individuals, families, firms, governments, and public organisations through local or global markets. Over the last few decades, China has begun to practise modern contract law and joined the World Trade Organisation, committing itself to international rules governing trade and investment.
Non-governmental and non-profit civil contracts bind people together for communal, religious, social, and political activities. These contracts are still relatively new and evolving in China.
Social contracts created by constitutional and administrative laws define the powers and responsibilities of the state and its constituent bodies vis-à-vis individuals and the private sector. They include the authority to impose taxes and restraints on individuals and private entities through criminal, administrative, and civil law, as well as the state's obligation to provide public goods and services.
Administrative structure
China has strengthened its unitary state with important institutional innovations that have delivered growth and middle income prosperity, but it still retains the basic five-level administrative structure — central government on top, with provincial, city, town, and village bodies below — that first emerged two millennia ago.
Deciphering the structure of the web of contracts holds the key to understanding how an economy behaves, including its dynamic non-linear adaptation to internal and external forces. Following the physicist Fritjof Capra, one should regard living organisms, social systems, and ecosystems as an interconnected and interdependent, complex adaptive system. This means that we should view the economy and society not as rigid hierarchies or mechanical markets, but as networks or webs of life, in which contracts, formal and informal, fulfilled or violated, are the essence of human activity. Examining webs of contracts should be similar to a biologist's examination of cell structure and DNA.
China has created four functioning global-scale modern supply chains in manufacturing, infrastructure, finance, and government services, thanks to its evolving, expanding, and complex web of contracts. But how was China able to build a modern industrial base within a relatively short period of time from its traditional, patrimonial family contracts and archaic constitutional structures?
Through experimentation, adaptation, and evolution — a process that has been described as "crossing the river by feeling the stones" — China has been able to evolve a higher-order, or fifth, supply chain in political decision-making. This "top-level governance architecture," as it is known in China, has been essential for coordinating and orchestrating the different supply chains and the overall web of contracts to achieve the delicate balance among individual, family, corporate, social, and national objectives.
This top-level governance architecture is analogous to a computer's operating system, which orchestrates the other software and hardware components to form a holistic unity. Such a structure exists in many economies, but, in the Chinese context, where the state plays a central role in the economy, it is critical to the system's effectiveness. How it is shaped will depend on how China's history, culture, institutional context, and evolving web of contracts affect the country's social fabric.
