I heard U.S. Steny Hoyer on Fox News trying to defend Obamacare. Same old talking points. �College kids on their parents insurance, no exclusion for pre-existing conditions, blah, blah.� �Oh, and don�t forget we reached 7.1 million enrollees the other day. Pathetic.
To her credit, Fox�s Elisabeth Hasselbeck went right after the 16-term congressman and jabbed him with the fact that, in his own state of Maryland, more than 60, 000 had gained insurance but more than 70,000 had lost it.
Hoyer was clearly off balance and smiling a lot, hoping to dismiss this little conservative who was making him look like a fool. Hasselbeck wasn�t backing off, though. She continued hammering him on the sketchy ACA enrollment numbers and skyrocketing premiums and deductibles nationwide (as documented by over 140 independent insurance analysts to date).
Old Steny looked about ready to jump through the camera. Nevertheless, Elizabeth wrapped up by inviting the veteran spendthrift to come on Fox and debate Paul Ryan on Ryan�s budget proposal, rather than simply propagandizing. Hoyer sort of accepted, but was clearly too rattled to process the moment.
I�m pretty confident this election cycle is shaping up to be a very different animal. As expected, the president�s policies are now affecting real Americans in real ways, which will certainly influence the midterms.

Saturday, January 3, 2009. (AP) -- K.C. Rivers had 18 points and reserve Jerai Grant added 14, and No. 20 Clemson improved to 14-0 for the second time in three seasons with a 79-66 victory over East Carolina on Saturday.
The Tigers (14-0) moved a step closer to the school's best-ever start, set by the 1986-87 team and equaled two years ago.
Grant's uncle, Horace, was part of Clemson's record start 22 years ago. James Legan had 21 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead East Carolina.
The Tigers saw a 16-point lead cut to five right before the half. But Clemson took control with a 17-4 run in the second half to go up 68-48.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed a trend (probably among young men 20-30, on occasion women too, but guys mostly) where they seem to underestimate their skills or put themselves down?
My story from last night I went with a group of people to go bowling. all of the other guys in the group seemed to practice self deprecation saying "I suck" or "I am awful at this sport", when they did OK (one bowled a 90, myself an 84, and another 79). I know these aren't the best scores ever, but when everyone else at the lanes were having a hard time breaking 50, yelling I suck and bowling a strike seems a bit off.
I bring this up because I've seen it elsewhere. It seems that these people make it a point of pride to claim "I suck at..." While I try to make it a point of pride to have a descent skill at a lot of various things (e.g. I can hold my own at pool, get a double bull in darts on occasion - not a fluke, play ice hockey with the "big league boys" - which I started a year or so ago). And, I'll add this doesn't seem like a hustle. These guys legitimately have my skill level.
I've only found 2 things on the topic on this site:
There is a big difference between pride and self-esteem, one not many people understand. The popular understanding of humility seems to be self-deprecation, which is actually a form of pride! The world will respect, even salute a man who knows who he is and can't be shaken by anyone else's opinion, and doesn't need to tell the rest of the world.
He also found that self-deprecation can be an important tool of charm. A little wink-wink bumbling. While he was pretending to be a doctor, he'd let his interns make all the decisions, which won them over. And when he made a mistake, they'd say, "Oh, stop joking doc!"
While I can see the merits of occasionally putting yourself down as an element of charm, Have people of my generation overdone the self deprecation in an attempt to feel more charming and humble? Or do they do this because of some pride? I personally find it frustrating, to the point of infuriating. Or do people actually find this behavior charming and I'm the odd one?
Views: 1031
Those scores are pretty low. You really do suck.
I don't really like that sort of behavior either, especially as it's often about skills where a certain match in skill would be nice.
For instance; Two weeks ago we were on a skiing trip and at the end of the week I decided to look at the skills of a girl that had told me 'she was sort of all right' on ski's. Bullsh**. She skied almost as well as I do, and I have no trouble keeping up with qualified skiing instructors while keeping good form and total control. If she had come forward about her skiing abilities, we could've had a lot of fun as it is more fun to ski with people of your own experience and level.
I'd be more tempted to be 'humble' about things that are a matter of taste and perception, in stead of something that's more easily measurable. I'm a good skier, a good sailor and a good debater. Those are things i'm very confident of.
My cooking, writing, sexual ability and 'humor' (as in comedy value) are completely open for debate. I'm confident about those things, but I think it wouldn't suit me to boast about it at any length. Better to be humble.
As for bowling: Points are awarded non-arbitrarily, so being 'humble' about it makes no sense to me.
Hmmm. Might have a bit (or more) to do with a manly modesty being more becoming than being a braggart about one's accomplishments.
This expressed modesty isn't something new, a man has been expected to let his actions speak louder than his words for quite some time.
Ego. If I am good at something but say I suck, I look that much better and get more recognition/stroking for performing above expectations.
Insecurity. If I should happen to suck no body is gonna feel let down and I'm off the hook for looking boastful.
Lazy. If I say I suck, I've no obligation to do my best or to expect anybody will ever ask or expect anything of me aside from suckage.
In short, bullshit all ways round!.
I could not have said this better. I don't know if it's generational, as I see it in my age group as well.
Have people of my generation overdone the self deprecation in an attempt to feel more charming and humble?
Or do they do this because of some pride?
There are several possible causes. One is low self-esteem. Those are the ones that really stick out. Another cause, that has become very common in recent years, is young people doing it avoid having to live up to high expectations. Not particularly humble--they don't want to set themselves up for a fall because their pride is easily hurt.
The two are related. They're both trying to live up (or down!) to a self-image.
I suppose the real question is how to help them grow as people. You don't want to contradict someone directly, unless he crosses certain boundaries:
"I am such a worthless pig."
In that case, I might actually contradict someone and say "NO YOU'RE NOT!" and then launch into a pep talk.
More generally, if someone says something like
"I could never be a doctor or an engineer"
You might say "Unless of course you really wanted to be one, in which case I'm confident that you would make the commitment to make it happen."
"Oh, but I'm just not smart enough."
"Huh? You don't strike me as dumb. Maybe you've had some bad experiences in school and so never had the motivation to succeed. Haven't you always been successful in things you love to do?"
Keep reframing them in positive, can-do ways. Not optimistic: you need to disclose that there is a cost to performance--but that anything they really COMMIT themselves to, they could become good at.
There is a certain arrogance that prevents people from trying, because if they try anything challenging, they're going to fail until they learn an grow and get it right. They're too proud to allow those first few failures.
One approach is to tell them it's OK to "fail" and not to take it bad. Get them over needing to "prove" anything to anyone, including themselves. To let go of attachments to outcomes, and just enjoy the process itself--in this case, the bowling. Encourage them to enjoy the game without obsessing about their performance. Just have a good time. If they can do that--then they'll play more--and ironically eventually get quite good!
People spend too much time worrying about what others think. Years ago, I did too. Not anymore. It's okay to offer self-deprecating humor. It can break the ice.
There is a limit though.. Keep one thing in mind. Tell people you're great and they will not believe you and think that you're arrogant or pompous. Tell them you suck, and they will believe it in a heart beat and revel in it. Best to keep one's mouth shut and let your actions speak for themselves. Nothing succeeds quite like success.
Having an honest view of oneself is important to being successful in life and career. Knowing one's limitations and strengths goes a long way to avoiding pratfalls, and taking advantage of what you do well. I stress the term "honest".
I have a very simple rule. If I'm tempted to tackle anything new, I decide whether or not the new thing is worth a maximum effort. If it isn't, I will not commit to it. If I determine that it is worth the effort, I throw myself into it with goal being to do the very best I can, with the idea that good enough is never good enough.
Honestly, I have this problem. My reason, though, is different from the ones stated below. For years, I was the cool kid, so I'd trumpet about and publicly announce my accomplishments, because I knew I'd get a good reaction. Now that I'm older, I realise the value of humility. Moreover, my reputation for arrogance is entrenched pretty firmly in everyone's mind. So I tend to overcompensate, by attributing all my success to others, or to luck. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a balance, and trying to attain true humility.
Western style of dealing with things is to give it a go and if it does not go well assume they can't do it. Eastern style is to to work and work and work on the problem.
West is taught we are smart / good so we should be able to do whatever perfectly the first time.
East is taught to work hard to achieve.
However West is much more adaptable and better at innovation.
East is better at technical skills but not innovation.
I rather not play bowling if my love interest is there
To the larger question -- some of it is false modesty or compliment fishing. Some of it is pride in being pathetic. Some of it is just avoiding embarrassment by lowering expectations.
Still ... my little sister can bowl in the 80s, so it might've just been an honest assessment.

Mediator used in dam disputeMarch 24,2014Staff Report
VERNON — Two Vermont towns on the Connecticut River and the energy giant TransCanada will use a mediator as part of an effort to agree on the value of hydroelectric dams in Vernon and Rockingham so they can avoid a trial.
A spokesman for TransCanada Hydro Northeast said the company is appealing an "increase in property taxes" on four Vermont generating stations, Vernon and Rockingham, and two in the Northeast Kingdom.
The state and town appraise the Vernon dam at almost $40 million. TransCanada claims it's worth just under $21 million. Vermont appraises the Bellows Falls dam at $108 million, TransCanada says $62 million.
TransCanada's Davis Sheremata told the Brattleboro Reformer that they're hopeful for a settlement.

Farm Bureau insurured the homeowners and the lender for losses in amounts sufficient to: replace the home, replace lost possessions, and compensate for additional living expenses (loss of use) during the rebuild period.
As of Apil 23rd, 2006, more than 16 months after the fire, Farm Bureau has:
Failed to honor the homeowners policy
Failed to act in Good Faith
Failed to promtly and fairly settle the claims
Failed to repair or rebuild the home
Failed to compensate the homeowners or the lender for loss of use (since spring of 2005)
Failed to compensate the homeowners for lost possessions
Failed to secure the home from vandals
Failed to deny the claims
Failed to offer any eplainations why they refuse to act in good faith
Failed to cooperate with local media outlets to explain why they have been acting in Bad Faith
As a result of Farm Bureau's Bad Faith antics, the homeowner's and lender have been experiencing the following harships:
The homeowners have lost their home and possessions, and have been forced to live in sub-standard housing since the fire.
The homeowners family members were split up and lived at several different temporary addresses in 2004 and 2005 while waiting for Farm Bureau to honor the policy.
Minor homeowners family members were forced to leave classmates and friends behind and attend different schools in 2004 and 2005.
The homeowners have been unable to make payments to the lender since the fire.
The lender has been forced to live without income since the fire.
The lender has been unable to collect payments from the homeowners.
The lender was unable to complete a business startup and has been without business income since the fire.
The local goverment has begun to take action against the homeowners and the lender to demolish the home.
The lender, who was in excellent health at the time of the fire, has since been suffering from debilitating physical and mental health problems including migraine headaches, severe deppression, anxiety, lathargy, insomnia, and digestive problems.
The lender, once an upstanding and highly productive member of the community, has become unproductive and forced to rely on public assistance in order to survive and has contemplated suicide.

I don't know about you, when I get home, I hate unpacking. It, it, I have to force myself to actually right away, unpack. Otherwise, bags will just lay around for an embarrassing amount of time. But now there's this other thing. In addition to coming home and unpacking, I have to come home and I've got all this data that I have to monger. And that part I actually like. There's a lot of fun to going over all of the stuff I've captured along the way. And here I have the output of my Day One journal. I had tagged each entry in Day One with a specific name for this road trip.
So it was very easy for me to just grab the entries from this trip and spit them out as a PDF. And so now, I've got this really, nicely laid out PDF of my entire trip with my images and all of my text and everything. I am actually going to make this available for you to read, sort of. I'm going to go through and I'm going to edit out all the embarrassing parts and cut it down to a more reasonable size, because I wrote a lot more than I realized. If I spit out just the entries and put them in a PDF, I have 203 pages, so I'm going to cut that down for you. And that will be available for you to download and read just because I think it's a good idea for you to see what works and what doesn't.
And there's probably stuff in here that doesn't work. But this will give you an idea of, at least the voice that I tried to find, the tone that I tried to find. The stuff that I chose to m, chose to record. And, and some of it may make sense to you, and some of it might actually just be that it's meaningful for me. So, you'll get to have a sense of that. I've got some other cool data that I gathered up here, though. I pulled out all of the logs from my Geologger and brought them here into Adze. And so I can now actually see the entire trip, all stitched together into a single route.
So, these were all of the different routes that the GPS was recording every day, and in Adze I can merge them. So, I've got the entire route that I took. And it, there's kind of this loopty loop here in the middle because I, I went to Quartz Mountain and then in south western Oklahoma and then to New Mexico and then back to Quartz Mountain. So, it's kind of cool to get in here and actually be able to see the whole thing. There's also as you saw earlier a lot of cool data that I, that this program will give me. I can click on part of a route and it will tell me the distance and average speed over that route and so on and so forth.
Finally I did one other thing. I took that data and then exported it from Adze as a KML file, which is Google's file format. So I can now open that route up in Google Earth, and actually get another view of my entire trip. So here it is, the same route mapped on to Google Earth. And what's fun about Google Earth is I can really take, you know, whatever bird's-eye view that I want of, of my entire path here. And I can come in here and pivot my view around and really get down right on top of it.
And as I get in really close as you saw in an earlier movie, is I get really close in to kind of the mountain ranges and things. I can have a lot of fun seeing how my route passed through a particular types of terrain. It, it gives you a very different perspective on your trip. When you're looking at a flat map, you go, oh yes, I crossed a great distance. But here as I'm hovering over, like the Texas Panhandle looking out towards the Pacific Ocean and seeing the exact path that I took, it just gives me kind of this cool perspective on where I went.
It's difficult sometimes to conceive of distances that you've traveled or to really get that, wow, I just traveled across half a continent. And this is a fun way to kind of look at. And I get this facility basically for free, because it's just another thing that I can use with that data that I was capturing as I rode, simply because my GPS was storing a geo-log. So, also this geo-logging information is built into my Day One journal because it's, since I tagged all of my images, Day One was able to figure out where exactly each entry was made. So, I have this fantastic way of going back later, and I'm not going to say reliving my experience on this ride.
But going back and really having a great way to stimulate a lot of memories. I can already look through the journal and go, oh yeah, I had forgotten that that happened. And it hasn't been very long, which actually disturbs me a little bit. But it's also a great relief. So, I'm very pleased, I, I think it worked out well. I like a lot of the pictures that I got. I'm glad I've got this document. I've got all this cool data. I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed by one thing. I was really looking forward to the ride back. I was going to take a different path. I was going to go along, because it's now winter, go take a very southern route. And I'd, I'd gotten some new heated gear that I was really excited to try, and at the last minute my plans changed.
I was going to take about a week to get back, and instead I was given an offer to go shooting, possibly in North Africa. And so I stashed the bike in my parents' garage and flew home. Had just enough time to get all this mongered. And now I'm ready to hit the road again. Which actually I'm glad about because it's, it's difficult being off the road. I gotta say, I was really just starting to kind of hit a stride. So, I'm looking forward to taking all of this back out onto the road, and going and journaling an entirely different continent.

Koss CEO says Sachdeva deserves maximum sentence
Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva, the former Koss Corp. executive who embezzled $34 million from the company, deserves the full 15- to 20-year sentence requested by prosecutors, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss said Tuesday.
"She stole from the hardworking employees of the company and their families, and ultimately the stockholders of the company," Koss wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman. "They are the true victims of her crimes."
Sachdeva will be sentenced Wednesday in federal court. The date was moved up from Thursday due to a scheduling conflict.
The harm to the company continues, Koss wrote. The Milwaukee stereo headphone manufacturer, which employs 60 people, was forced to draw down on its line of credit because of the embezzlement, he said.
"Moreover, the full extent of the damage to the reputation of the company and its employees caused by Ms. Sachdeva's criminal acts cannot be expressed in words," Koss wrote. The damage will continue to tarnish the company and subject it to ridicule long after Sachdeva's sentence ends, he wrote.
Employees worried about the survival of the company and whether they would lose their jobs after Sachdeva's embezzlement came to light.
Because of the $34 million loss, the company was forced to restrict wages and salary increases for all employees. Money wasn't available to pay quarterly cash bonuses, and contributions to the employee stock ownership plan for retirement were reduced. The company also shut a division and laid off some employees because of the lack of cash, Koss wrote.
The letter referred to Bi-Audio, a division that employed five people. In 2008, the company sold intangible assets of its Bi-Audio division for $700,000 and recorded a gain of $151,133, according to a report filed with regulators. The division provided product design and engineering services for professional and consumer grade headsets.
Koss asked Adelman to discount Sachdeva's claim that she was driven to embezzle by a compulsive shopping disorder. She entered a guilty plea to the six counts against her, but according to a presentence memorandum filed by prosecutors this week, she is asking for leniency.
Also on Tuesday, Adelman signed an order that allows the government to seize from Sachdeva four timeshares at the Princeville Ocean Resort Villas in Hawaii; a $115,000 account at Park Bank; about $4,000 worth of St. John Knits clothing that Sachdeva bought last December at the Pleasant Prairie outlet center; and $268,246 of the equity in Sachdeva's Mequon home. The house is valued at $780,000.

Greer residents fear loss of tourism from lodge closure
Residents and business owners of the town of Greer are afraid that the closure of the historic Greer Lodge might negatively impact tourism.
The small town nestled in the White Mountains has been hard hit over the past few years by the economy and the Wallow Fire.
"The Greer Lodge, like our property and others, has been a critical part of welcoming guests to the slice of heaven we call home in the White Mountains. Greer offers a respite from the heat in the summer, beautiful leaves in the fall, nature's awakening in the spring and a winter wonderland when we have snow like we do now. It is a loss any time any one, especially a business like Greer Lodge, is no longer making the marketplace aware of such a great area to visit," said Casey Bolinger, owner of nearby Hidden Meadow Ranch in statement.
According to Bolinger, the owners of the Greer Lodge invested a lot of money into marketing and advertising. She fears that without it, tourists will forget Greer is still on the map.
"We're losing not only the business and the jobs, but we're losing that marketing push, so yes, we are very concerned," she said.

France Rises Above Economics 2 commentsJul 22, 2012 12:45 PM
He tells the French it is OK to love equality and social awareness more than success and money...
Hollande refuses to be made a prisoner of the constantly-invoked "harsh realities" of freewheeling capitalism, which are supposed to justify highly inegalitarian economic policies...
The French are wise to have elected a leader who makes his appeal to his countrymen's republican social values rather than to their disappointed economic ambitions.
"Can the Socialists Fix France (and Maybe Europe)?"
Commonweal, 13 July 2012
You have to love the French Left. Their Marxist economics have always been hard and masculine and, above all, rigorously scientific. They have harnessed dry socialist theory to the practical management of a modern industrial economy. They write about "concrete" matters such as agricultural collectivism or the development of heavy industry, always in a scientific manner, and always without sentimentality or pity.
Those who would call attention to the rather unattractive human consequences of 20th century socialism would be accused of bourgeois sentimentality and false consciousness. The task of building socialism is not a tea party, and inevitably, many will suffer in the historical struggle.
But look at the French Left today. When confronted by a real economic crisis, one as simple as third-grade arithmetic, they disdain the "harsh realities" of capitalist economics and embrace the economics of "equality and social awareness". In other words, when communists exterminate entire classes, that's the cost of history. But when markets demand fiscal discipline, that is heartless. The French Left has gone from being the party of harsh reality to being the party of squishy sentimentality and wishful thinking. As ever, ideology triumphs over mere facts.
The Socialist Party now rules France. The people of France voted against the nominally capitalist party and voted Socialist, the party of equality and social welfare. This is the France that finances itself in foreign currency, has a big fiscal deficit, high debt ratios, high unemployment and almost no growth. High debt, big deficit, high unemployment, no growth: those are facts; they're not negotiable; they cannot be "redefined". France must either demonstrate to the bond market that she can stabilize her debt ratios, or she will eventually lose market access and default. What difference does it make that these facts are "harsh"? Can Hollande select a different set of facts?
But France has rejected austerity, and intends to raise the minimum wage, increase government spending, lower the retirement age, and build the socialist state, all paid for by levies on the "rich". The more France spends on socialism, the more it plans to tax the rich. Those are "socialist values".
The harsh realities of capitalist economics may matter elsewhere, but not in France. Those laws have been suspended because the socialists have a vision that goes beyond mere economics.
I can think of one reason why the French don't understand capitalist economics: because it isn't taught there. The academic discipline of postwar capitalist economics is anglosaxon, not French. In the anglosphere, we are taught about neoclassicism, Keynesianism, monetarism, the Chicago School, and the other attempts to explain the workings of a capitalist economy.
In a French university, "economics" consists of the socialist critique of capitalist economics*. The postwar French intelligentsia studied, not growth or the business cycle, but how to combine the best parts of capitalism and communism (voila: socialism!). If you go to a bookstore in Paris, you will find thousands of heavy volumes on the defects of capitalism; you won't find one book that explains modern capitalist economics, except in translation.
When was the last time that a French economist won the Nobel prize? I can't find any (unless you count expatriates). The Nobel prize in economics goes to the anglophone, not the francophone.
Today, the ruling political party in France is not capitalist, it is socialist. That's not a blazing insight, but it might explain why France is distinctly uncomfortable with topics such as "competitiveness", "real wage growth", "structural rigidities", "debt ratios", and "fiscal discipline". Those are foreign terms that are used to impose the anglosaxon world-view onto France.
I remember when I was a bank analyst in the 1980s, trying to explain credit ratios to European banks. They would deny their applicability to Europe because credit ratios are "American". European banks couldn't be understood using "American ratios".
I see that today in France. There is a prevailing sentiment that capital markets are an alien concept and a part of the anglosaxon conspiracy. The markets are "harsh" and "unforgiving", as if there were an another way for a country to borrow trillions of euros.
This much I do know: when France blows up, it will be blamed on capitalism, not socialism.

Hi mahoneyct, I just saw your article and would like to add a few observations regarding the French socioeconomic reality. In France there is a somewhat informal ideological hegemony of socialist-like ideas regarding economic policy. Although France since the WWII has only had two socialist governments (Mitterrand in the 80s and now Hollande) the Left is voicing more its opinion in economic matters than the Liberals/Rightists. One reason is that French society is much more hierarchical than the American one, so people from middle to lower income classes were always feeling somewhat threatened by a reduction of the welfare state. That being said, and although being a more socialist like economy compared to Anglosaxon ones, France has managed to be an important exporter of goods & services and the government has taken care of protecting the labeling of specific national products (whine, champagne). I don't think a US champagne producer can actually label his product as Champagne. Moreover, France has some of the highest productivity per hour rates in the world, if not the highest. That being said, France needs some key structural reforms, but the key to the success of these reforms is to communicate them correctly to both the people and the businessmen/investors etc.
Despite its leftist ideology, France has been doing something right since 1945. It is a "successful country". But France prospered under the monetary policy of the Banque de France, which included periodic devaluation vs the DM. Now France is on the DM and can't devalue, hence the need for fiscal discipline. It will be interesting to see if the new Socialist government can keep the confidence of the bond market.

The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) over the past two decades has highlighted the need to look closely at the potential conflicts between regional and WTO rules or disciplines. A major obstacle to advancing understanding of RTAs is the absence of detailed information about their contents. This has limited the debate between those who view RTAs as discriminatory instruments hostage to protectionist interests and those who see them as conducive to multilateral trade opening. This book provides detailed analysis of RTA rules in six key areas - market access, technical barriers to trade, contingent protection, investment, services and competition policy - across dozens of the main RTAs in the world. The analysis helps to provide new insights into the interplay between regional and multilateral trade rules, advances understanding of the economic effects of RTAs and contributes to the discussion on how to deal with the burgeoning number of RTAs.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Scottish name Moncrieff is a habitational name, taken on from Moncreiffe Hill near the Royal Burgh of Perth. The surname itself came from the name of the lands granted to Sir Matthew de Muncrefe by King Alexander II in 1248. It is claimed that Sir Matthew was a member of a cadet branch of a family desceded from Maldred, brother of King Duncan and a descendant of Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Ireland, who lived circa 400 A.D. in Tara. Today, Moncreiffe Island, also known as Friarton Island divides the River Tay into two channels as it flows through Perth in Scotland.
The surname Moncrieff was first found in Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where William de Moncrefe and John de Moncref, rendered homage to King Edward I of England during the latter's brief conquest of Scotland in 1296. In that same year Thomas de Mouncref was taken as a Scots prisoner of war at Dunbar Castle. The estate of Easter Moncreiffe was gifted to a younger son of the family in 1312.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Moncreiffe, Moncrieffe, Moncreif, Moncreiff, Moncreyfe and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Moncrieff research. Another 379 words (27 lines of text) covering the years 1488, 1626, 1685, 1776, 1811, 1829, 1851, 1874, and 1895 are included under the topic Early Moncrieff History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Sur esperance
Motto Translation: Upon hope.

The Moncrieff Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Moncrieff Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.
