A Magazine Capturing the Story of Health- For People, Environment, Economy & HabitatArchive for From the Publisher
The Intangible Value of Sustainable Prayer
By Lavinia Gene Weissman
Moving Beyond Today's Spiritual Vacuum
This past week, I have been exceptionally frustrated. My frustration grew out of an observation that many of the men and women, I know, have become unconsciously resigned as a result of the today's economic challenge or the do not break from the mechanical nature of doing more of the same – looking for a job or living simply in response to stress, to find a point of transformation to shift local economies and learn new approaches to problems they share with their friends that can impact the health of the economy, people, environment and habitat to measure lasting social impact for the welfare of all.
Author, JK Rowling has taught us so many times, in how she lives and has lived her life while imagining every Harry Potter chapter, success grows from failure and recovery from failure grows from imagination. Her learning took form from her own journey as the daughter of a chronically ill mother, who became an abused wife. Freedom from abuse took her with her imagination through the journey of an impoverished single mom, living on services with her daughter to becoming a teacher, and then magic beyond words shaped her life today growing out of her rich inner childhood imagination that birthed Harry Potter and friends.
I see many woman using spiritual practices of being positive and expressing and claiming gratitude as a way to accept a diminished life and circumstance for which they are unable to abound. I have organized a prayer group for numerous of my acquaintances called Monday Circle of Prayer. Many members of this group have very compromised life experiences due to illness, single parenting, job loss, declined sources of income, care-giving sick family members and more.
Each week, I offer a prayer to these women through a private group on Facebook, called Monday Circle of Prayer. It is my way to inspire myself by inspiring others by building a new view of who we are and what we represent. It's about creating a faith practice that inspires hope for those of us who carry a burden that the socio-economic authorities have served to us a cloud of resignation that has translated into a life challenged by poverty, poor health and economic strife. For me I have survived by finding the faith to persist at my own life and work in these difficult times and find a new path that improves their capacity to sustain themselves.
I curate this group and invite conversation and contribution. I archive the prayers in a protected group on Facebook, so as to assure privacy. I have introduced some of the women to each other and some have begun to talk by phone to each other about problems they may share in common, perhaps to seek a new view.
Last week the conversations with a number of these women fueled my frustration to see how to easily they are using their spiritual practice to fuel a form of resignation and not work to alter their life, but to use the positive ways and expressions of gratitude almost like a form of accepting this diminished form of life.
This group has helped to alleviate isolation many feel when living in poverty or challenged. The group has not yet found the courage or imagination to author a new view that is fueled by all its members and not driven by me. All I can do at this time is author a reflective prayer each week or an link or two of inspiration.
There is a change in this country over the past six months, since the stand by Occupy Wall Street. A much greater number of people have moved the pervasive denial that pushes so many to do more of the same and not recognize the need for change that the 2008 Global Financial Meltdown implied.
As part of my own grappling about the lack of understanding in our economy of what is implied to care about the welfare of others, I decided to read Hillary Clinton's autobiography, Living History, written in 2003
Reading this bio has prompted me to rethink what it means to embrace your own personal power. I continue to believe that power is inside every potential leader at birth and if prompted in by family, educators and friends, it can mushroom into something remarkable over time that has nothing to do with position or authority.
Embedded in Hillary's life story is this kind of pattern. Yet while reading the book, I had to ask myself how does she lift herself beyond failure and difficult times, which for Hillary like many woman in my prayer gropu have been numerous, brutal and life altering.
Hillary discovered the power of intangible prayer during her first month as First Lady. This was to carry her through her first 6 months as First Lady of the United States, which were filled with loss, disappointments, failures and infringement of her family's privacy.
By the end of six months, the task force she chaired for health care reform failed. She experienced numerous significant deaths of her father, mother-in-law and her close friend and law partner committed suicide as a result of clinical depression. The Clinton living quarters had been searched with out notice.
In April of that year, Hillary was invited to make a speech at the University of Texas as her father lay at death's door. On the plane to Austin, she found an article authored by Lee Atwater, Age 40, political adviser to Presidents Reagan and Geroge H.W. Bush, who was dying of cancer. Hillary embedded this passage from the article in the speech she gave in April 1993 at University of Texas, Austin.
Atwater wrote,
"Long before I was struck by cancer, I felt something striring in American society; it was a sense among the people of the country— Republicans and Democrats alike—-that something was missing from their lies, something crucial… I wasn't exactly sure what the "it" was. My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what is missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood.
The 80's were about acquiring — acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth and, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with the truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught you in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime….
I drew on different sources to put together a statement about the need to "remodeled society by redefining what it means to be a human being in the twentieth century, moving into a new millennium.
We need a new politics of meaning. We need a new ethos of individual responsibility and caring. We need a new definition of civil society which answers the unanswerable questions posed by both the market forces and the governmental ones, as to how we can have a society that fills us up again and makes us feel that we are poart of something bitter than ourselves."
Who will lead us out of this "spiritual vacuum?"
After reading Lee Atwater's perspective, Hillary answered Atwater's question for her audience, stating, "The answer is all of us."
The answer remains unchanged today from 1993. But shifting our behavior as a country from the individual, political, business and citizen perspective has to integrate an understanding of what is implied by the word, "welfare."
This requires a new understanding and view, voice this past September by Jan M. Morgan, President of CSRwire, LLC. Jan offered this statement in a publication, GLOBAL COMPACT COMMUNICATION ON PROGRESS, September 2011, prepared for the United Nations Global Compact:
"I am terribly ambitious where the world is concerned and feel a personal responsibility to contribute to the welfare of all. I try to take responsibility for my own actions and I believe the work we do at CSRwire benefits society and communities all over the world."
Whether a commercial enterprise, a government activity or a non-profit initiative, it has always been my belief that within those institutions that people can take the kind of responsibility that Jan Morgan describes can be done by anyone by investing time, energy, thought and funds to measure a return on investment of lasing social impact.
We can no longer afford to think of "welfare" in the context of charity or government services that only serve to diminish people and obstruct their capacity to sustain personally and empower their children to do the same by redefining the idea of, "No Child Left Behind," to mean educate, inspire, mentor and encourage intelligence and health.
As of late, my own belief and values in this regard have been challenged and I have been trying to find my way out of my own spiritual vacuum from a very reminder personally of what it is life for anyone when difficult times are imposed on you that you could not counteract or protect yourself from.
Since last June, a few event in my life have had me reach out to numerous friends, leave behind some old friends and make some new friends.
My outreach has been primarily to women, who are also experiencing challenge. Before the 2008 financial meltdown, I usually knew 1 or 2 women challenged by illness, lost job, challenging social circumstance. But in my life at this time, I now know over 14 women experiencing a combination of challenges and the size of the group continues to grow rather than decline.
In Living History, Hillary describes her introduction to the National Prayer Center, founded by Ken Wilde. This non-profit invites participation of people of all backgrounds and political representation to offer the gift of service to others in need. After Hillary's first month as First Lady, she was was presented with a book of messages, quotes and scriptures give to her to sustain her tenure by members of the National Prayer Association. Hillary joined with a prayer partner to pray for her as she prayed for others.
The National Prayer Center, located in the Beltway of Washington DC, reached out beyond the Washington divide to anyone in need of support by providing gifts that are intangible and so meaningful – discernment, peace, compassion, faith, fellowship, vision, forgiveness, grace, wisdom, love, joy and courage.
Prior to Thanksgiving, when my own situation of challenge escalated, I only had prayer left and then I realized as I talk to more of and more of my friends, prayer was all that many of us had left.
While at the present time, I do not have many answers or ability to impact concrete measurable change that assures intelligent hard working women jobs or single mom's the ability to care for their family or cures for children suffering from chronic illness and disabilities that overtake the day of a family trying to care for itself in these stressful times.
I know the unity and benefit of what can serve from prayer. Whether you believe in G-d or not, I know combining higher thought and sparking a direction of goodness that can impact a societal change that assures the health of people, environment, economy and habitat is something we need now.

As I return to reflecting on the progress that so many have fostered, globally in #csr, #socent, #sustainability and #health communities of men and women, who are not resigned and have formed this tipping point of change to accelerate and translate practices through out the world, I am reminded each other them also works each day like me to grow beyond the difficulties that impose personal challenges to each of us. Prayer is the foundation by which we can each inspire ourselves and others to do our best to just continue to do our work for the greater good and the welfare of all. Prayer can open our channels to discover new ways to talk and work with other people.
Prayer is an intangible when offered in the presence of others as witness and partners, can inspire a change we could not see during times of great uncertainty, like how we are living now.

May-June 2011 Issue of TheStoryofMeaningfulUse
Letter from the Publisher
Lavinia Weissman
Boston, MA
This next series of articles to be released into our new magazine format for thestoryofmeaningfuluse.com examine the thought leadership and new practices coming into use to build new metrics of health for the environment, economy, people and habitat.
This new format of preparing a series of articles for a cycle of publishing was a bit overwhelming this first round; it pushed me to think and organize my work differently. When I go into a learning cycle, I often have to find some real inspiration and within a few days the inspiration came to my door. This inspiration was about repair of harm, I began to learn about through 3 major media events – a live broadcast, a outstanding interview and a sneek preview of film;
- 60 Minutes Correspondent Lara Logan's interview about her sexual assault during the Egyptian disturbance of political unrest;
- My preview of the film, 'The Whistleblower, " the story of UN peacekeeper cover up in Bosnia as experienced by US Peacekeeper, Kathryn Bolkovac.
Given the events, it provoked much discussion and debate in the mainstream press and social media. Yet by the end of a week, I found myself pushed by these events to rethink the sustainability practice of "transparency." Transparency is any person's or institution's power to adopt. If you don't practice transparency, you are diverting energy to "privacy, privilege and secrecy." Yet if you practice transparency you are opening the door to the very human aspect of life that "nothing is perfect." Transparency implies failure as lessons learned and opportunities to take those lessons and innovation change.
To me this is the essence of the world of people and communities practicing the discipline of "capacity building." From wherever I sit and draw my perspective, I continue to see a growing need for capacity building – in terms of recognition of need, resource and investment identification and a more common understanding that there is a need for a "cycle of capacity building.
Convening a group of people, who have the intention to innovate change requires a cycle or sustained capacity building. Capacity building is about breaking down the systemic barriers that re-enforce old patterns of behavior that keep a dying system perpetuating as that system ceases to serve more and more of the people who live in that system.
The community begins its learning when a small group of people recognize they need to budget and allocate resources to beginning an investigation int new responses to unmet needs from which a healthier society can take form to serve people into perpetuity. This means authoring a method of exercising precaution that addresses systemic harm that cannot be stopped by continuing in a form of "business as usual."
These 3 events also implied a strong position that physical and violent harm, in particular to women and children should not be part the global future.
Yet the progress for achieving the UN Millenial Goals of 2000 to end poverty by 2015 is not sufficient. And for the most part, according to the 2011 GreenBiz.com report on the State of Green Business, the world is still treading water in its progress to become a Green Society.
I am finding more and more – that what I publish, facilitate as change and build social media practice for is about "capacity building."
Thee 3 media events inspired me to renew my faith and belief that a majority of people can convene to discern, learn and act to build a healthy sustainable economy so all species can live in health; this is the focus and context for anything I think about, work on integrate with into my work with others.
Over the next two weeks, please enjoy the roll out of articles for the May/June 2011 cycle of publication for thestoryofmeaningfuluse.com. All these articles provide a basis, a perspective, a briefing from which to learn how to engage in capacity building and monetize its development and ongoing capacity to su

Research Tips
One of the biggest issues with doing research on the Vietnam War is the terminology. Any of the following are used to refer to what Americans call "Vietnam:"
- Vietnam War
- Vietnam Conflict
- The Second Indo-China War
- Resistance War Against America
- The American War
Fortunately, the Library of Congress has designated the official subject heading as Vietnam War, 1961-1975. Using that in the catalog will be most beneficial, but when searching in other venues, keep in mind the possible other terminology that is used.
Welcome to the Resource Guide for the Vietnam War
This guide offers a concise, easy-to-navigate selection of library resources for exploring the Vietnam War. Sources for locating books, articles, reference information, or primary sources on any of these topics are accessible from the tabs above.
Getting Started with your Research
Some tips to get you started:
- Understand your assignment. What kind of information do you need? Peer-reviewed journal articles, literary criticism, biographical information?
- Know your deadlines. It is so much easier to do your research early so that you will have plenty of time to write your paper.
- Develop your topic. Narrowing your broad idea to a specific question you want to research will save you much time and effort.
- Brainstorm keywords. Think about keywords related to each aspect of your topic to help in searching.
If you run into any trouble at any point in your research process, you can always Ask Us for help.
Another advantage to starting your research early: you can schedule a consultation with a librarian. Librarians are here to help you navigate the many resources available to you, and a consultation is a great opportunity to make sure you are looking in the right places. Librarians are glad to help!

This fresh fragrance pays homage to the beautiful Fleur de Vigne (Grape Blossom), which is celebrated in splendid style in June every year, in the vineyards. When it comes out, it heralds the start of the autumn harvest 110 days later. This energising splash, delicately fragranced, is drawn from plants of aromatherapy. Enriched with essential oils and plant waters rich in oligo-elements, it refreshes and tones. It contains a vitamin-rich citrus bouquet of Bergamot (bergaptene free), Grapefruit and Mandarin. The phyto-aromatic cocktail of Blackcurrant bud and Green Maté makes it an energizing concentrate which unfolds against a warm, voluptuous, subtly woody base of Sandalwood and Cedar.

SUB.Culture Detroit: Detroit Tech Now
Mainstream media always makes it seem like only bad things come from Detroit: urban decay, crime, bankruptcy, D12. But as any electronic music fan knows, Detroit is also a hotbed of creativity, passion, and promise. From the 1980s—when fellows like Juan Atkins and Derrick May ingested New Wave and Kraftwerk and spit out a template for what we know today as techno—to the present day, with new blood producers like Kyle Hall, Mark Flash, and Monty Luke creating forward-thinking tracks, Detroit continues to be a source of inspiration and power in the worldwide dance arena. In our SUB.Culture: Detroit series, we look at Motor City past, present, and future.
A star-studded cast—including Mark Flash and Jon Dixon of Underground Resistance, Jeedo (aka Waajeed), and H-Fusion and Aaron Siegel of FIT Records—appears in the third episode of our SUB.Culture Detroit series. In this video, we take to the Submerge building, the Dirt Tech Reck offices, and the streets to find out what's quaking with the most current crop of exciting electronic music producers calling Motor City home. Along the way, we find out what influences give music from Detroit its unique heart and soul. "Pressure can make diamonds or break pipes," explains Waajeed. Many diamonds in here for sure.
Watch SUB.Culture: Detroit 1 - Movement Festival
Watch SUB.Culture: Detroit 2 - Mike Huckaby & Youthville
Music in this episode:

I have decided I want to grow mango and despite all the predictions of global warming I am still getting 1-5 sub freezing nights a year. Weighing the pros and cons of planting the mangoes in ground and having a structure I can quickly protect them with or put them in 30 gallon pots and on the cold nights and have a way to tilt them and wheel them in to the garage. I have a tractor with a FEL so lifting them wont be an issue. I have settled (I think) on Carrie and Pickering. Both are dwarfs and I will keep them under 10 feet tall. For a structure I was considering something more substantial than fabric, perhaps 4 sided structure held together by hinges with permanent anchors in the ground to tie it down to? Something that could go up in 30 minutes would be nice. Thoughts? |

Bamboo, why dont you try the northern palm truck, and try erecting a temp structure, and wrap the tree in C9 christmas lights? This allows some palms to grow in Montreal, Toronto, Utah, Iowa and Wisconsin. The most common I have seen are a large semi insulated wooden box. The easiest I have seen is making a "cage" around the tree with bars or slats, and doing a double wrap in 8MM vapor barrier, then throwing in the lights. IMO the temp wooden boxes should work the best, as they can take damage a bit easier. |

Isabel Marant Spring 2013 | Runway
Isabel Marant Spring 2013
Isabel Marant is a designer with a sense of humor. When asked about her Spring 2013 collection a few days ago, she exclaimed "It's ugly!" before launching into a hearty chuckle. It was a disarming outburst, one that left this reporter totally taken aback and, to be honest, totally charmed.
"No no, it's a bit of Elvis in Hawaii, and a bit of Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot in St.-Tropez around the late '60s and early '70s," Marant reassured. A few days later as the first model took to the runway and Elvis blared from the speakers at the actual show, those references were utterly clear.
A tropical leaf print in graphic black and white dominated the first looks. It decorated vacation-ready silhouettes such as one-shouldered minidresses, tie-front rompers, and '50s-shaped bandeau swimsuits. A bit of red embroidery helped the pieces to really pop. Then it was on to a boho paisley print in purple, red, and blue; that turned up on bandeau dresses, lace-up peasant tops, and flared trousers. There was also plenty of that modern Western thing that the designer is wont to do and does so well: on first glance, a series of scallop-hemmed tunics and tiered ruffled skirts appeared to be done in a down-home cotton eyelet; on closer inspection, those eyelet dots were actually mini bronze studs. All said and done, it was a lineup that's sure to keep Marant's legion of fans well-outfitted next season — and there was nothing ugly about it.

How to trim extra calories without counting, dieting, or feeling deprived
At any age, women often underestimate how many calories they really eat, so follow these suggestions
Track, Don't Count
You don't need to become a human calculator, but you should get a baseline idea of what you're consuming every day. (A survey of more than 1,000 people found that only 13% knew how many calories they eat a day.) The best way is to record each morsel you take in, for a day or two. Getting a grasp on exactly what you're eating can help you find out where the bulk of your calories comes from. Then you can make simple substitutions that shave off calories without sacrificing taste or satisfaction and achieve weight loss. For example, trading a handful of pretzels for 3 cups of air-popped popcorn sprinkled with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese saves about 115 calories and has loads more flavor while tripling your portion size.
Read Labels Right
The Nutrition Facts info on a package lists the calorie count in one serving. But don't forget to compare that with the amount you actually eat or drink; many packages contain two servings or more. For example, a 20-ounce bottle of organic lemonade contains 110 calories per serving, and 2 1/2 servings per bottle. Drink the whole thing and you racked up 275 calories; that's nearly 20% of a day's calorie needs for most women.
Look for total calories, not type
Surveys show that women look at grams of fat and sugar before calories, a habit that can mislead you into eating more than you should—especially when it comes to reduced-fat or low-sugar foods. For example, three regular Chips Ahoy! cookies provide 160 calories. Four of the reduced-fat version have 200. And sugar free doesn't mean calorie free. Five tiny Hershey's sugar-free dark chocolate candies provide 190 calories and 1 cup of Edy's no-sugar-added Caramel Chocolate Swirl ice cream contains 220.

The Swift River Valley Historical Society occupies an unassuming set of buildings in New Salem, a neighboring town only partly flooded in the creation of the reservoir. In the years since the creation of the reservoir, it has grown from a small collection of photos and trappings to a massive and comprehensive archive chronicling the valley's history and abrupt disappearance. It now comprises three buildings, the Whitaker-Clary House, containing most of the collection, the Prescott Church Museum (hauled over from Prescott before the flooding) and the Carriage House, which contains an engine of the Dana Fire Department, various pieces of farm equipment, and an assortment of hand tools in addition to countless other odds and ends. It is managed by a devoted assembly of unpaid volunteers, several of whom are among the last surviving residents of the towns.
That the society was founded in 1936 is a testament to the fact that the residents' desire to assemble and preserve their local history was (unsurprisingly) spurred on by the impending demise of the four towns, by the threat that the very ideas of those communities might be drowned along with their physical settings and disappear forever. The urgency with which the act of preservation had to be approached sets the mission of the Swift River Valley Historical Society apart from other historical societies: if you were confronted with the imminent destruction of everything you knew, what parts would you take away so that the whole could be remembered?
This was one in a series of burning questions facing the society's founders. What mode of preservation would be the most effective? And what things were already preserved? Despite the absolute elimination of the towns and the land that they occupied, some reminders of the communities nonetheless remained: not only did most of the displaced residents continue to live in the region for the rest of their lives, leading lives not terribly different from those they might have lived had they been allowed to stay, but you can even follow several roads, including Main Street of New Salem, directly into the waters of the reservoir if you go far enough. Whatever means the society would use to preserve those towns would have to focus on what could not be recaptured, and so the curators looked to the region's recent past.
The versions of Enfield, Greenwich, Prescott, and Dana that are preserved by the society remain (perhaps for the obvious reasons) frozen in a very specific time. The artifacts collected speak to the character of the towns as they were in the early twentieth-century, complete with heirlooms from previous generations and a subsequent awareness of the towns' recent past, but the communities depicted by the hats, photographs, and furniture of the SRVHS are plainly ones that know nothing of space shuttles or rock and roll, or barely even of World War II. Here it always is the nineteen-thirties, and always will be.
It is clear, however, from every detail down to the Depression-era one-room schoolhouse replica, that this was intentional, that the SRVHS indeed aimed to capture these towns as they were just before the time of their flooding. The story that it tells is more than just a history of these towns themselves—it is also about the tragic series of events that made them so significant. These communities are being preserved not only because of the simple fact that they aren't here anymore but so that visitors might get a more complete idea of what it felt like when they were taken away. The society is preserving not only physical objects, which stand in for the towns themselves, but also an emotional reaction to the flooding.
What other way is there to preserve the feeling of a tragedy than by capturing the affected community up to and including that moment in time? The Swift River Valley municipalities had a history that decisively ended beneath the waters of the Quabbin, meaning that the SRVHS had its work cut out for it in its efforts to reconstruct that history.

Africa and Middle East Expanded Coverage and Research Offerings
Pyramid Research has recently doubled its telecom coverage of Africa and the Middle East, expanding the number of countries and operators tracked to offer unparalleled insight into market trends to the firm's growing client base in the region.
Register to download the Africa and Middle East Overview.
This Africa and Middle East Research Overview provides two pieces of content to showcase Pyramid Research's membership and consulting services in the region. The e-Brochure offers a summary of market trends and our research overview. The presentation highlights current growth prospects in the region, a summary of our membership offerings that span the fixed, mobile, media and device sectors, and consulting services that cover areas of regulation and policy, financial due diligence, enterprise and cloud services, applications and devices, and broadband and media.
Some examples of findings include the following:
According to Pyramid, investment opportunities will remain attractive as operators realize that growth depends on data services.
In Africa, there is great potential behind mobile broadband and smartphones; exponential growth in affordable smartphones is driving new ways of data consumption and thus new revenue streams. The transition to 3G is more urgent, while commercial LTE deployments are appearing in Sub-Saharan markets such as Nigeria, Angola, Tanzania and Uganda.
In the Middle East, FTTH and LTE are quickly becoming the focus of competition. The UAE and Qatar both have nationwide FTTH projects, and there are ambitious rollouts in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Many operators in the Gulf already have LTE networks, but with 4G handsets becoming more available, they are beginning to tap into the potential of small-screen mobile Internet access more effectively.

WOLFSBURG For 2007, Volkswagen has added 0.4 liter--little more than a twelve-ounce soda can--to the displacement of the base Touareg's 3.2-liter V-6. The extra piston displacement bumps output to 276 hp and 266 lb-ft (increases of 36 hp and 37 lb-ft), while the addition of direct fuel injection helps return essentially identical fuel mileage. The V-6 Touareg is now about a second quicker to 60 mph, but it's still no lightning bolt. Max power arrives later (6200 rpm versus 6000) and throttle response remains indifferent. But, in the end, who can argue with a little more pop?

Twilight Descends
Announcing the latest Asylum Pack for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game |
Call of Cthulhu LCG | Published 19 October 2010 |
"A library can be a very dangerous place," Dart said with a twinkle.
"I've been told knowledge is the most valuable of all currencies," Lucy responded.
"Knowledge is a two-edged sword," Dart replied flatly. "Certain things can't be unlearned."
- From The Veil of Knowledge, part one of The Rituals of the Order, by Jeff Tidball
A society debutante is invited to a private party featuring the city's most powerful and notorious players, those who can decide the fate of millions in hushed tones in a smoke-filled study. Is the invitation merely a casual welcome to a fellow member of the elite, or is it a subtle test, the failure of which would result in diabolical consequences?
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the latest Asylum Pack for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, The Twilight Beckons, the first chapter of an exciting new expansion cycle, The Rituals of the Order, beginning this Winter. Following in the footsteps of the forthcoming The Order of the Silver Twilight expansion, which introduces the Order of the Silver Twilight faction to the Call of Cthulhu metagame, the Rituals of the Order cycle will continue expanding the Order while simultaneously deepening and strengthening the game's existing factions.
Among the power brokers, initiates, and servitors of the Order of the Silver Twilight featured in this cycle, players of Call of Cthulhu will also find new synergy among Criminals, Government, Students, and other subtypes, as well as devastating Disaster, debilitating Madness, and destructive Artifacts.
A new serial tale also begins in this Asylum Pack as Lucy Jennings, a high-society heiress, too curious for her own good, is drawn behind the shadowy veil into an entirely new world of power and privilege.
The Twilight Beckons is a fixed 60 card Asylum Pack that contains three copies each of 20 different, never-before-seen cards based on the dark mythos of master horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Call of Cthulhu metagame.
The veil has been pulled back and the Silver Twilight beckons! Will you join? Or will you die?
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Asylum Pack expansions to the core game.

"This was yummy! I used 2 green onions and toasted the bread a little bit first. Me and DH ate the whole loaf for dinner on a Friday. Super easy, especially if you can get the bread pre-sliced. I'll make this again...maybe try it with prochuetto or add some chopped black olives? Thanks!"

I bought a NEW Samsung wf405atpasu washer last year with a faulty bearing installed. Called Samsung and they will only pay for the replacement parts and I pay for the labor. I wonder if the replacement parts include the other half of the tub or just the bearings. How much would the labor cost? |

I would assume they are going to want you to use their certified techs. If so, once they notify you who they want you to call just ask them before scheduling a time. The repair shop should be able to give you a fairly close estimate. |

Well I wouldn't have believed that if God told me! Nope, just me daydreaming again...lol. Ok. so re-program brain to starve brugs occasionally, ummm, I'm not sure I'll be good at that, but I'll remember not to be heavy handed with the water. I also learn that just because a brug's leaves are wilting doesn't necessarily mean it's thirsty if it's HOT outside and the only way to know is to wait until it cools outside, usually at night and see if they perk up. Of coarse, one can question how long it's been since it's been watered. I hate root die back. It sets my plants months behind and can happen either under OR over watering. But like Karyn once said, you can recover a brug's roots if they've dryed a bit but you can't recover rotten roots or stem. Just a reminder for others, obviously you don't need to hear this Choco! One more question - is your soil there sandy? I believe perlite is suppose to do the same job for drainage. -Sandy |

I recently found this forum and love all the creative up-cycling going on around here. I'd like to introduce myself with some pictures of my current projects.
I redid my patio which was in poor shape after virtually no maintenance for 50+ years with terrible weeds growing up through the cracks and cracked pavers from an oak tree planted too close to the house. I took it all up and relaid it with weed barrier and 2,000 pounds of gravel salvaged from town construction projects and 1,500 lbs of sand. Hauled it all by my tiny self in my Sportswagen. Some in progress and finished pictures. I'm going to grow moss in between the cracks and want to try the slurry method but don't have a blender. Any suggestions? At the end is my old weed garden (aka unsuccessful veggie garden). I salvaged brick from various rubble piles at the curb to build up the planter. Need to finish off the ground layer with dirt and plantings. What do you all think I should do with the other half of the old garden plot? Then there is the fairy house my friend and I created for a fairy house festival, it's currently being displayed in an art gallery in Niagara Falls with other fairy houses from the festival. Not junk but thought you all could appreciate it. It's made with all natural materials we collected from various trips around the country (plus Gorilla glue). Last, not one of my projects, (but that is me in the pic), a Japanese Tea House built over a gorge (inside there's a glass floor). This is built in someone's backyard! Private property but they let people hike there and have put in a lot of awesome things besides the Tea House. Thanks for letting me share, I'm really enjoying looking at everybody's gardens here. Cheers! |

Welcome to the forum. Please keep us updated on the progress of your projects. Thank you for sharing. Marylee |

Yes, nice work & great recycling! Your patio & flower planter look great! As far as the other end you are talking about, I think a water feature would be wonderful...made from something you love ... old bricks, whiskey barrels, galvanized tubs, rocks...whatever you enjoy! Or you could go with LOTS of POTS ...that is fun, too! Whatever you do, it will be grand...cause look at all you've done so far! Have fun! Jeanne S. ps...that fairy house is wonderful!!! |

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Imjustsam the exhibit is at Castellani Art Museum at Niagara University. I'm trying to get up there myself. I'm in Rochester and want to see the other houses. My friend told me there's a log cabin the size of a dining room table. Jeannespines I'd love to put a water feature. I was thinking about a dissapearing feature. I have an old threaded water pipe from a plumbing project that would work really good with an old sprinkler attached but can't figure how to run electricity easily for a pump. |

Congrats on all you've accomplished so far! Just a word of advice - I've tried the moss slurry and all I got was a mess and lots of mold. Since then, I've found this article you might want to read about moss. They say the slurry doesn't work either. |

Super cool! I love your front garden with all the mixed bricks and rocks! It gives it a very charming look! I see some serious potential for dressing up that brick work patio looking out to the street. |
- Posted by iamnotapirate none (My Page) on Fri, Aug 12, 11 at 0:14
Ah gee thanks y'alls. It's so fun to share with people who can appreciate it. @luvs2click thanks for the moss link. Makes me feel better I didn't do the slurry. Guess I just need to figure out how to give it a stable base long enough to let it attach. Not easy with the dogs running all over. @9bark I love sitting out there. I have a wicker chair and shelf I curb scored a couple of years ago. I've been trying to get something (anything) to grow in those brick planters, even tried mint but no go. Oh well maybe a project for next year. So many ideas so little time :) |

On this page you will find information about the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) with links to materials, contacts and training.
Under existing regulations, the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) is now composed of 20 federal departments, agencies and offices that work together to assure that the United States is safe from radiological incidents, involving nuclear or radioactive materials, including acts of terrorism.
The FRPCC is a national-level forum for the development and coordination of radiological prevention and preparedness policies and procedures. It also provides policy guidance for federal radiological incident management activities in support of state, tribal and local government radiological emergency planning and preparedness activities. The FRPCC is an interagency body consisting of the coordinating and cooperating agencies discussed in this Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex, chaired by DHS/FEMA.
The FRPCC coordinates research-study efforts of its member agencies related to state, tribal and local government radiological emergency preparedness to ensure minimum duplication and maximum benefits to state, tribal and local governments. The FRPCC coordinates planning and validating requirements of each agency, reviewing integration requirements and incorporating agency-specific plans, procedures and equipment into the response system.
As part of their preparedness for nuclear/radiological emergencies, federal agencies participate in exercises to test and evaluate response plans.
The next Quarterly Meeting is scheduled for Fall 2014. Location is TBA.
Communicating During and After a Nuclear Power Plant Incident June 2013
This document provides communications guidance for domestic nuclear power plant (NPP) incidents, including sample text and suggested answers to anticipated public and media questions. This document also provides background information explaining roles and responsibilities across all levels of government during an NPP incident. While primarily created for federal leaders who will speak to the public, this document should also complement the routinely exercised communication materials used by state, local, and tribal officials.
Improvised Nuclear Device Response and Recovery: Communicating in the Immediate Aftermath
This document is a resource for emergency responders and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial officials communicating with the public in the immediate aftermath of an improvised nuclear detonation in the United States. An interagency group of federal communicators and radiation technical experts developed the messages in this document. Participating federal agencies include the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), FEMA, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Energy (DOE), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Eva Solo Standing Bird Feeder Table from Design 55
Keep your feathered friends happy with this Eva Solo Standing Bird Feeder Table from Design 55, £89.
While I'm certainly no Bill Oddie, my little garden seems recently to have become a haven for the neighbourhood bird population.
And as Disney as this sounds, they all wait patiently on the fence for each other to stop eating.
As such, I'm regularly on the lookout for the slightly dopey, but deadly, black cat who lives next door to make sure she's not planning on taking advantage and turning the birds into her next meal.
To ensure the birds can dine in style, I have decided to invest in this super chic Eva Solo Standing Bird Feeder Table from Design 55.
With plenty of room for food, and a handy roof to shelter under if it's raining, this simple, contemporary bird feeder can be stuck straight into the ground and be ready to go.
Shop the look...
