Ideal for a short stay in Trogir
We were so pleased we chose Villa Moretti for our short stay in Trogir.
Across the bridge from the old town ,the location was perfect . Coming from a week's sailing trip on a small boat,the spacious , spotlessly clean accommodation (with Air Con )was great .Emilia was very welcoming and gave us a lovely breakfast on the shaded terrace . She was very helpful with information on boat timetables, trips to local beaches ,and she organised our taxi to the airport too. A lovely end to our holiday in Croatia -thank-you.

For the past two weeks, I was on holiday with little access to the Internet. It wasn't that I'd gone to the ends of the earth; I was, in fact, traveling through the South of England, but we just didn't come across many places that had Wi-Fi access. During our holiday, I also started to notice that the Brits have a more restrained way of using their mobile phones in public. While I'm used to seeing people around me in the Netherlands checking their mobile whenever and wherever, I hardly saw anyone in the UK browsing on their mobile when in the company of others.
When I commented on this to my colleagues after my return, they attributed it to my rosy outlook due to my time off. So I looked at Forrester's Technographics® data to compare US and UK smartphone users' behaviors. Smartphone ownership in the UK isn't that far behind that of the US: Our recent Forrester Research World Mobile Adoption Forecast, 2013 To 2018 (Global) shows that about 61% of US mobile subscribers use the mobile Internet compared with 49% of their UK peers — and we expect these numbers to grow to 75% and 70%, respectively, in 2018. More striking is our 2013 data that shows that usage of smartphones at home is comparable in both countries — but it's the usage at restaurants and coffee shops that really differs:
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on August 16, 2013
At the beginning of 2013, approximately 153 million US online adults had health insurance coverage. While it serves the majority of US adults, the health insurance industry is unique in that only a minority of health insurance customers choose their health insurance provider directly. Forrester estimates that just 14% of US online adults — 25 million US adults — actively chose their health insurance provider in 2013.
However, with the onset of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "Obamacare," many new customers will enter the healthcare market. While we don't know exactly what portion of uninsured US adults will follow the mandate that all US residents must obtain health insurance, there is a large pool of potential new customers.
In fact, Forrester's Technographics® data shows that 13% of US online adults (23 million adults) reported having no health insurance at the beginning of 2013. Of these uninsured adults, 47% don't have health insurance because they can no longer afford personal coverage; 25% left the employer that provided their coverage; and 15% never had health coverage.

Summer 2013 may be bringing about a renewed enthusiasm for surfing — and not only on the beach: Many consumers are turning to online video services to skim the waves of new content.
In Q3 2012, Forrester's Technographics Data Insight showed that around one in ten US online adults had canceled their TV service in order to stream content exclusively from the Internet; those who did not cancel their programming cited their desire to channel surf as the primary reason for maintaining TV service. However, as online video evolves, consumers are finding that the Internet enables an equivalent channel-surfing experience. Participants in our ConsumerVoices online community say they look to Netflix to discover new entertainment content rather than to simply stream a specific show:
"Every time I use Netflix, it is to discover what is on. I never go on there at certain times looking for specific shows. I like having all their movies and shows available to me when I want it."

Toll Lanes Touted as Congestion Fix for Central Florida's I-4
"We love Orlando, we love Mickey Mouse, we love Walt Disney, Universal, the Church Street Facilities, that great mall -- Millenia Mall, but dadgum that I-4, that's a headache," Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad told journalists in Orlando this week.
"We're going to fix that headache."
The Florida DOT is moving ahead with plans for the I-4 Ultimate project- a $2.1 billion dollar fix for I-4. The state's prescription includes adding toll lanes to a 21-mile stretch of the interstate running through the heart of Orlando. The department aims to begin construction in 2015 and complete it by 202o.
Prasad said four so-called "managed lanes" would be added to the interstate, leaving six lanes toll free. Tolls would be higher during heavy congestion periods and lower when traffic is light.
"We use tolls to only keep a certain number of people in the managed lanes so we can keep them going at 50 miles an hour," he said. "Say if I-4's 'general purpose' lanes – the toll-free lanes – are congested and you only charge a quarter, everybody's going to be on it, and now you got another two lanes of gridlock. So what you do is you use tolls as a way to manage capacity coming in to the express lane."
Prasad conceded there is a downside to building the extra lanes.
"There's going to be inconvenience- you're talking about $2 billion worth of work in a very constrained corridor- albeit a long corridor- getting done over five years. It's a lot of work."
However, Prasad said a similar $1.3 billion expansion project is successfully underway on South Florida's I-595. He said travel times along that stretch of road-- roughly 10 miles -- have only increased by an average of five minutes because of construction.
The state is putting up about half the $2.1 billion dollar cost of the I-4 Ultimate project and courting private investment to foot the remainder of the bill. Under a public-private partnership agreement with the state, private firms would also maintain and operate the toll lanes for a fixed length of time.
Prasad said the public private partnership allows Florida to take advantage of low interest rates and construction costs.
"What the state gets is delivering a project 20 years in advance," he said.
"If we were to do this project on a regular pay-go mechanism, we would be building it for the next 20 or 25 years and chasing congestion like we always do."
Gregg Logan, a managing director at the real estate advisory firm RCLCO's Orlando office, says the I-4 upgrade will help the local economy.
"You don't want businesses that are here already and thinking about expanding saying, 'Gee, do I want to stay here and deal with this gridlock'- or companies that might be thinking about coming and bringing jobs. We want them to be looking at [Orlando] as a good place to invest because we have our act together."
And he says Florida has to look for new ways to fund infrastructure - with a combination of local government funding, private investment and user fees- because federal government dollars are limited.
"Like it or not that seems to be a collective decision we've made as a society for that's how we're going to fund infrastructure," says Logan, who adds he's worried the US is falling behind other countries in transportation infrastructure.
"When you look around the world right now and you look at where big rail projects and transit projects are being done, you find that's in China Brazil, the Middle East," says Logan.
"We've sort of forgotten that part of what has made us great and enabled us to have the growing economy we have is that we made these investments in infrastructure. Now we've taken that for granted."
The Florida DOT is promoting I-4's managed toll lanes as one part of a multi-modal transport system that could also include bus rapid transit to complement Central Florida's SunRail commuter train. SunRail is slated to begin service in 2014, while private rail companies are also talking about an Orlando to Miami service and a maglev rail linking Orlando International Airport with the Orange County Convention Center.
Eric Dumbaugh, the director of Florida Atlantic University's School of Urban and Regional Planning, supports the addition of managed lanes to I-4. The challenge for Florida, he says, is to develop viable alternatives to driving.
"Our transit system is inadequate in all of our metropolitan areas: it doesn't take us where we need to go, our development doesn't link up to it as well as it should, so we're trapped in our cars."
But Dumbaugh says he's optimistic about Florida's ability to develop a truly comprehensive transportation system, because a new generation is now demanding alternatives to the car.
"You survey millennials- they don't want to drive," says Dumbaugh, who highlights the efforts of a group of Florida Atlantic University students to set up a transit themed installation in Miami this weekend.

Concrete Shower Pans???
Hello all - new at this. Fisrt time homeowner and a new DIY....
Remodeling Master Bath. Shower - want to know if anyone has an opinion of concrete shower pans - any rumors of leakage? Concrete can crack over time - has this proven a problem with this new fad of remodeling? I would likely spend the $$$ to have a professional company pour the pan. Any info or opinions appreciated...
Until later - Dive always
I use a liner with a concrete base plased in it. All of this is installed by the tile guy after the plumber puts in the pan and drain. Is that the concrete you are thinking of?
If you're speaking in terms of using concrete for a cast shower pan, my understanding is that it might not be the best material. I had considered this a while back, but after doing some reading, decided that I'd either go with a premanufactured solid pan or a tiled shower base over a mortar pan. If you're thinking of a cast concrete pan, take a look at the link below. I came across this in my research and Fu-Tung Cheng is sort of considered the father of cast concrete work for interior residential use.
Do you mean poured concrete? Not a good idea if so, because concrete is porous and will wick water. What you want is a dry packed morter bed, usually installed by the tile contractor. The proper build is to put down a morter bed with proper slope towards the drain (special drain for tile installations), then install a waterproof pan of pvc material, available from plumbing supply, then the rest of the morter bed, again sloped towards the drain, and topped with tile. It is common to see the first sloped morter bed skipped, and the pvc laid flat on the sub floor, but this is bad because any moisture will just stay collected under the morter because of lack of a slope to direct it towards the drain.
Actually, the drain pan (Like copper) or a membrane....goes in first, then you mix and apply your sloped mortar bed into/onto it.
Examples: http://www.thetiledoctor.com/howto/showers2.cfm
Concrete shower pans - Thanks
Wow!!! - lots of information. I was researching the professional concrete floors that is all the "fad" now-a-days. They state or advertise that it can be used as shower pans - and the pictures show no tile over the concrete - but a solid concrete surface in the shower (with a drain). Having a chemistry degree - I am well aware of the properties of concrete and have a few concerns:eek: about concrete in wet areas- But with every new technology or process - it is possible that something has been done to this concrete used in this process that will make it very suitable for a wet environment. I am going to look at the link that a fellow DIY (concrete casting) provided in their response and see if that puts my mind at ease... Hey - THANKS for all the replies - Much appreciated. I am sure that I will be back - before this project is over. Feel free to add any opinions or fun facts about concrete floors - I will check back.
Til then - Dive always
[quote=AtlanticWBConst.;87438]Actually, the drain pan (Like copper) or a membrane....goes in first, then you mix and apply your sloped mortar bed into/onto it.
With today's membranes, I will not do a copper pan on anything. I have demoed too many older shower stalls that were leaking , only to find the exact same problem each time.. much of the copper pan was gone, corroded away over the years by the morter. In those days copper or lead pans were the only choices, but PVC rules today IMO.
Sorry to disagree Atlantic but as the song says "that's my story and I'm sticking to it". The membrane laid on a flat floor will not direct moistue to the drain weep holes, but just allow it to collect between the membrane and the morter bed.
...Actually, I'd have to agree with you there.
Another example: http://www.bathroomupdates.com/plan/tips2.html
Anyone tries the shower kit from Schluter?
Looks interesting, have not had the opportunity for the touchy feely thing with it, wondering if it is as easy as they claim.
Around here in Tampa they, the city building dept, are making use float the floor out before we put in the liner. WE have to float it at 1/4" fall per foot then the liner then the morter bed.

I love living in the moment in a world of change, choice, decisions and action! I have the power to choose to live, to laugh, to let my essence shine and create the abundant, joyous, love filled life I desire. Choosing my thoughts, actions, beliefs and attitudes helps me see things in many different ways allowing me to fully experience most situations or circumstances.
What I'm most passionate about is transforming lives. The vehicle I choose to do it with is Lifestyle Transitons Coaching. This vehicle helps to tap into your amazing talents, skills and abilities to create the lifestyle of your choice.
Hi! I'm Inez Bracy. You may have seen me on The Balancing Act giving expert tips on Starting Your Own Home Based Business or on Fox 4, Morning Blend, as their resident Career Coach sharing tips on having the career and lifestyle you desire. Many of you have read my book, Rejuvenate Your Life: 21 Days to Feel Like a Woman Again! Thank you!
I've been through many transitions and am delighted to tell you that I've discovered the secret that allows and empowers me to joyfully embrace changes as they present in my life. I've helped hundreds of women who find themselves at new crossroads unlock the secret. These women create a juicy, amazing fulfilling life for themselves. They don't just cope or survive but thrive because they know the secret!
Women at new crossroads suffer frustration and don't know how to cope with it very well. They don't know what they want, how to feel nor where to go. They are stuck because they're using past thoughts to guide them in a new situation.
I've navigated many new crossroads, from divorce to changing job at 50 to starting my own business! I know just how it feels to awaken confused and unsure. I know how it feels to use 'old' thoughts to solve new problems. This doesn't work! It's like stuffing a square peg in a round hole.
Hundreds of women started to rejuvenate their lives after reading my book. But then they wrote to me asking, "I get what you're saying but how can I get more." "What else can I do to continue growing?" "How do I stop going back to 'old' patterns of behavior?" So, I've created the email 21 Day Coaching Program to answer many of your questions.
This simple 21 Day Program is here to help you just when you need it most. Start living your amazing life now.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your advice. I will be forever grateful for bringing clarity into my life at a time when there seemed to be so much confusion. You allowed me to step foot on the path that I am wanting to be on in the end and begin taking action steps toward my goals.more
It was through your guidance that I now understand I can use my current circumstances as a means to achieve my long term goals. You gently forced me to take a few steps back which allowed me to see things from a new perspective. It was through your words of wisdom, compassion and understanding that I now have the confidence that I will achieve those goals. The clarity that you have given me is priceless.~Jody Agard
I received this in an email yesterday from a young lady in Argentina "Watching the program E! news today, I get informed about this web page: yourtango.com there was where I read your article, which reaches to my heart. I thought it was writen just for me." The article she read is "Why are you hiding?" more
This email confirms for me that we never know where we will show up nor who will find our message nor how impactful our message can be.
Thank you YourTango for being the vehicle that helps this young lady and others find the information they need to change their life.
I'm Inez Bracy Award Winning Author, Lifestyle Transitions Coach, and Speaker. I specialize in working with women to help them change their life without feeling shame or guilt. As care givers and nurtures many women find that they've give ALL and begin to feel resentment because someone is always asking for more. I help these women to understand that it's great to give from a giving place. That means that they take care of themselves FIRST! I like to think of it as filling a cup. When the cup is full of water, you're taking care of yourself and it's all you can do to take care of yourself. Now when the cup starts to overflow, you have the energy and the freedom to take care of others. The more your cup runs over, the more you have to give. The joy that you now have becomes a beacon that shines on everyone. This joy is contagious, infectious and people want it. Joy just bubbles over like an erupting volcano and there's no containing it! My clients are amazed at how much easier it is to give when they take care of themselves first. Many clients say that the hardest thing for them to do was to embrace "it's okay to take care of me first". Once they embraced the idea, the philosophy and started the practice, they question what took them so long. They tell me that the energy in their home has changed from heavy and negative to light and positive. They are grateful for the lessons learned and that they no longer have shame and resentment around giving to their love ones. In fact they find joy in giving and have discovered the joy in receiving. They marvel at the life they're creating and enjoying every minute of it. Begin immediately to fill your cup and relish in the results!
In my last relationship I wanted to be everything that I thought he wanted. I cut off many of my friendships so that I would always be available to and for him. I found myself anxiously waiting for him to tell me what his or my next move would be. Then on day, I looked around and wondered "who am I". That was the day that I knew that I had to change. I realized I had 'lost myself'. Working with Inez Bracy as my coach I rediscovered many of the things I'd previously enjoyed and reclaimed myself. Even though it wasn't always easy for me to face some of the issues that surfaced, Inez was there to help me through them. Thank you Inez for helping me to regain my confidence and self esteem.
When I was young, I planned to change the boardroom. Instead the boardroom changed me. I lost touch with myself and my own essence. Like many other boomer women, I had gone up the ladder so fast that I'd forgotten what it was like to feel like a woman. Then Inez Bracy changed my life. Her book, Rejuvenate Your Life: 21 Days to Feel Like a Woman Again, gave me a practical way of working day by day, toward a new appreciation of myself.

Bezemer, Bare, Doggen, Arellano, Tong, Rowland, Catanese, Young, Reitsma, Devlin, Rosendaal: Gene variants associated with deep vein thrombosis. in JAMA : the journal of the American Medical Association 2008
Genetic analysis of the CYP4V2 gene revealed a c.802-8_810delinsGC homozygote mutation.
In Bietti crystalline dystrophy patients with CYP4V2 mutations, cone density remained for visual dysfunction by evaluation using high-resolution AO-SLO (show KCNMA1 Antibodies).
Four novel mutations were identified, contributing to the spectrum of CYP4V2 mutations associated with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy.
cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily V polypeptide 2 (CYP4V2) c.219T>A (p.F73L) mutation may be a recurrent mutation in Chinese patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD).
The entire coding region and adjacent intronic regions of the CYP4V2 gene were sequenced. Five mutations were identified in the 29-year-old male with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy.
Sequencing of CYP4V2 revealed nine sequence variants in four unrelated families and six isolated individuals with BCD.
Two mutations in CYP4V2 were found in three Lebanese families with Bietti crystalline dystrophy: p.I111T (c.332T>C) in exon 3 in two families and the novel p.V458M (c.1372G>A) mutation in exon 9 in one family.
Compound heterozygous c.802-8_810del17insGC and c.1091-2A>G mutations of the CYP4V2 gene were identified as causative mutations for retinitis pigmentosa
Four novel benign variations in the CYP4V2 gene (three in exons and one in an intron) were observed in the patient cohort with Bietti crystalline dystrophy associated with choroidal neovascularization.
these results expand the mutation spectrum of CYP4V2 and demonstrate an overview of the CYP4V2 mutation spectrum and its frequency in families with Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy.
Data conclude that within the mouse F11 (show F11 Antibodies), Klkb1 (show KLKB1 Antibodies), Cyp4v3 gene cluster, F11 (show F11 Antibodies) and Cyp4v3 frequently display striking parallel transcriptional responses suggesting the presence of shared regulatory elements.
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 hemethiolate protein superfamily which are involved in oxidizing various substrates in the metabolic pathway. It is implicated in the metabolism of fatty acid precursors into n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene result in Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy.

A couple of tweets from rapper, actor and reality star Ice-T have spawned cries of insensitivity. The star of the E! reality show Ice-T and Coco was asked about the suicide death of Russell Armstrong, husband of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Taylor Armstrong. In response, Ice-T quipped, "Bad joke.. but alotta those wives would make me consider it." At the time of his death, Russell was estranged from his wife amid reports that he physically abused her.
The more inflammatory remarks, however, were made against the women who make up the cast of Basketball Wives. On that show, Ice-T wrote: "Speaking on Wives shows... Are any of the 'Basketball Wives' even married??? … So shouldn't it be called..Basketball Dumped Hoes'???… Hey! People love to call my wife a Hoe.... Well at least she is a WIFE."
Ice-T also made his thoughts about those who have reported on his remarks clear, too. In response to the initial reports, Ice-T tweeted, "The lack of people caring about REAL issues has caused the media to focus on dumb s--t like TWITTER comments."

What is Paganism?
Paganism, also called neo-Paganism, is a new religious movement whose adherents are found throughout the world. Paganism is an umbrella term that describes a variety of denominations¿known to Pagans as traditions¿which for the most part organize themselves and operate without a centralized religious body or a standardized dogma. While variety of belief and practice is a source of pride for Pagans, it can sometimes be a source of confusion for others. In the pages that follow we present what we believe to be the fundamentals of Paganism. We explore such questions as why Paganism is called an earth-centered religion, how many Pagans there might be in the United States, what Pagans are like, how the Pagan sacred year is arranged, what Pagans do in ritual, what magick is, and what Pagans believe about God, worship, human nature, and ethics.
Over the years we have met thousands of Pagans throughout the United States. We have watched the Pagan movement grow from a fairly small, insular movement to one that may now number more than a million in the United States. We have spoken to numerous Pagans individually, participated in discussions and debates about the nature and future of the Pagan movement, and helped organize local and national Pagan events. For more than a decade we have explained and taught Paganism to many people in a variety of likely and unlikely places. We¿ve taught Sunday school at Christian churches, given the main address at Unitarian churches, attended interfaith councils, taught world religions classes, demonstrated Pagan ritual for Mensa, given retreats, spoken at festivals and conventions, and provided newspaper, radio, and TV interviews on the subject. For most of these years we¿ve also offered private class instruction in Paganism at beginning and intermediate levels. It is from this source of accumulated personal experience that we have collected and developed the concepts we present in this book. While elements of the topics covered here can be found in other books on Paganism, the beliefs we identify as fundamental to Paganism and how we interpret them are uniquely our own.
We have on occasion been asked to name the most important belief or concept of Paganism. This is difficult given the many traditions within the movement. However, if we could reduce Paganism down to its essentials, we believe its two most central concepts are interconnectedness and blessedness.
The belief that every part of the universe is profoundly interconnected shapes how Pagans view the nature of the Divine, the sorts of relationships possible with the Divine and the universe, and forms the Pagan approach to prayer and magick. Most Pagans believe that all parts of the universe, whether ¿animate¿ or ¿inanimate,¿ are connected at very deep levels that extend beyond the boundaries of space-time as we know them. Because of this interconnection, many Pagans believe they are able to interact with the universe and the Divine as co-creators. This concept is further explored in chapters 5 and 6.
The belief that every part of the universe is blessed in its nature, and that there is nothing wrong with the universe or with you, means that the purpose of Pagan spiritual practice differs from that of religions focusedon issues of purification and salvation. Paganism takes the position that human beings are unflawed in their natures, are not spiritually doomed or damned, are born with all the tools and skills necessary to live ethically and spiritually, and are naturally oriented toward their own greatest growth and development. No part of Pagan belief, practice, ritual, or sacrament is designed to ¿save¿ Pagans from a flawed or corrupt nature, or to avert supernatural punishment arising from such supposed flaws. Elements of this concept are developed throughout the book, particularly in chapter 7.
By contrast, most world religions today teach the opposite of one or both of Paganism¿s central themes. They teach that the elements of the universe are separate from each other and that there is something fundamentally wrong with all of us. They may teach separateness by asserting that the universe contains distinct bits of matter not connected at deeper levels, that each of us is irretrievably separated from others and the Divine by nature, or that the universe is split between what is spiritual (and therefore good) and what is physical (and therefore bad).
Most world religions also teach that human nature is flawed, and that there is something fundamentally wrong with all human beings that must be corrected in order to reach that religion¿s idea of salvation or enlightenment. This wrongness may be called original sin or ego or desire or free will or any other of a number of names, but the existence and overcoming of this inherent wrongness is the basis of the spiritual practices, sacraments, and ethics practiced by their members. In such religions, the wrongness frequently doesn¿t end with human beings but extends into the entire physical world so that we are seen to be surrounded by wrongness, to be spiritually unsafe, and are encouraged to feel that life is a very dangerous undertaking. The concepts of separateness and wrongness are so ingrained in each one us and in our culture that most of us are often not even aware they color our perceptions, life experience, and spiritual growth.
Paganism soundly rejects both of these concepts, and unequivocally affirms the interconnectedness of all parts of the universe and the inherent rightness or blessedness of the universe and human nature. Certainly Pagans believe that humanity can improve itself, but Pagans do not equate the human ability to make bad choices with a flawed nature.
Joyce and I believe that the concepts of interconnectedness and blessedness are what link together most of the divergent paths and traditions within Paganism. Yet they are not the only common threads Pagans share, as you shall see throughout this book. However, if you come away from here with no other knowledge of Paganism than the concepts of interconnectedness and blessedness and what Pagans mean by them, then you will have gained something of value.
General Characteristics of Paganism
In addition to the two central themes of interconnectedness and blessedness, what other characteristics common to Paganism as a whole can we identify?
Paganism is a religion. As in other religions, Pagans seek answers to ultimate questions such as what is the meaning of life, what happens after death, is there a God, what is our basic nature, and how do we interact with the greater universe. Pagans seek these answers in the context of a religious and social community. Pagans gather in churches, homes, or outdoors, and meet in groups that may be called, among other things, circles, covens, churches, or groves. Unlike members of some religions, however, Pagans generally do not actively proselytize. They do not send out missionaries, hold revivals, or try to gain converts. Almost none of the Pagans we know ¿converted¿ to Paganism in
the traditional sense. They became Pagan by deciding that Paganism reflected
what they already believed and then adopted the word ¿Pagan¿ to describe
Like other religions, Pagans have clergy who perform religious functions such as marriages and funerals. Pagans also observe a sacred year and have religious holidays and other celebrations. Most modern Pagan traditions are described as ¿earth-centered.¿ Pagan holidays often fall on dates that mark the change of seasons or are otherwise seasonally important. We take a look at the Pagan sacred year and how it is celebrated later in this chapter.
Paganism is a modern religion. Paganism is a new religion, even though it may borrow concepts and practices from any spirituality, including those now fading or extinct. Paganism is classified as a new religion by social scientists who report that Paganism exhibits all six features of new religious movements. These are (1) a pronounced religious individualism, (2) an emphasis on experience instead of belief and doctrine, (3) a practical perspective on matters of authority and practice, (4) an acceptance and tolerance of other religions and worldviews in general, (5) a holistic worldview, and (6) an open, flexible organizational framework.1
Pagan traditions also meet the test of a religion as applied by the U.S. courts. Characteristics that courts look for include historic longevity, number of devotees, the existence of clergy, religious literature, ceremonies, and holidays. The federal courts correctly recognized Wicca, the largest of the Pagan traditions, as a religion in the case of Dettmer v. Landon (1986).2 In this case, the court found that Wicca exhibits the characteristics of a religion as outlined above.
Paganism has no central hierarchy or dogma. Paganism is a religion that as a whole has no central hierarchy or dogma, though individual traditions may adopt an internal governing structure and specific beliefs. Some Pagan paths have a specific ethnic focus, such as the Asatru, African, and Celtic Traditionalists. Others pull together many Pagan and non-Pagan religious beliefs and practices and blend them into a unique religious expression, such as the Eclectic and Blended paths. (We look at a variety of these traditions later in the chapter.) Most Pagans enjoy spiritual diversity and would not think it appropriate for all Pagans to believe the same things, practice in the same ways, or be organized under the same structure.
Paganism stresses personal responsibility. Most Pagan traditions stress personal responsibility and put the burden of developing spiritual practices, beliefs, and ethics on to the individual. Even those traditions that offer established beliefs and methods encourage their members to test ideas so that members build the mental muscles necessary to judge the soundness of beliefs for themselves. Those traditions that offer established moral guidelines also tend to encourage their members to explore ethical ideas so that members can find their own ethical sense and formtheir consciences accordingly. With this freedom comes a corresponding responsibility; a responsibility for one¿s beliefs, behavior, and degree of spiritual development. As friend and fellow author Dana Eilers once humorously observed to us, ¿Some religions are a restaurant. You sit down and they bring you what they¿re serving for dinner. Paganism is a buffet. If you want to eat, you have to get up off your butt and serve yourself.¿
On the whole, Paganism¿s approach to the issue of personal responsibility is very empowering for the individual. It is also empowering for the greater society as the number of mature and self-directed individuals in it increases.
Paganism offers a different worldview. Paganism is one of the first religions that deliberately incorporates new perspectives from science, metaphysics, and mysticism into its spirituality and consciously breaks from the traditional Newtonian view of the world. (These concepts are explored further in chapter 5.) Pagans tend to see all parts of the universe¿from the smallest atom to the largest planetary system¿as sacred and having some form of consciousness or spark of intelligence. Most Pagans believe that this living universe is able to communicate to all parts of itself on one or more levels, and that these parts can choose to cooperate together for specific ends. Pagans call this cooperation magick.
Paganism is a spirituality. Paganism is a way of living, praying, and connecting to the flow of the universe. Pagan spirituality addresses the existence and nature of Deity, the relationship of ourselves and the universe with the Divine, the nature and scope of human existence, what happens to us after death, the nature of the physical and nonphysical universe, and our relationship to that universe. Spiritual practices among Pagans are quite varied and include everything from formal ritual to meditation, quiet walks, singing, dancing, healing, divination, ecstatic sex, working with herbs, gardening, and massage. Just about any activity can be incorporated by a Pagan into his or her spirituality.
Paganism is protected by law. The freedom to hold and practice the religion of one¿s choice is a hallmark of liberty in the United States as well as several other countries. It is a right enjoyed by American citizens regardless of their affiliation as a liberal, conservative, Democrat, or Republican. President George W. Bush, a Republican conservative, stated in a speech given to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001, following terrorist attacks against the United States that, ¿No one should be singled out for unfair treatment or unkind words because of their ethnic background or religious faith.¿ He also pointed out that if the citizens of the United States intend to defend their principles, then their ¿first responsibility is to live by them.¿ Paganism is protected in the United States under the First Amendment and various civil rights acts. One of the largest of the Pagan traditions, Wicca, is formally recognized as a religion in the case of Dettmer v. Landon, as mentioned earlier. Pagans in the military are allowed to practice their religion on military bases, as are Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus.
What Does ¿Pagan¿ Mean?
The word Pagan comes from the Latin word paganus, which means ¿country dweller.¿ It may have been a derogatory term created by city dwellers to describe ¿thosehicks out there,¿ much like the word ¿redneck.¿ Because ¿pagan¿ tended to have a negative meaning, it was later adopted as an insult.3 During the Crusades, the Christians called the Muslims ¿pagans,¿ and later, Protestants and Catholics flung the word at each other.4 Eventually, ¿being pagan¿ meant someone without religion.5
Since the word ¿Pagan¿ has been adopted by the Pagan movement, some of its perceived stigma has lessened. At the very least, the word helps us to think about the labels history applies to those who differ from conventional Western thought. Some Pagans don¿t like the word and use other terms to describe their path, such as African Traditional Religion, Native Spirituality, Celtic Spirituality, Heathenry, Earth-Centered Spirituality, European Traditional Spirituality, the Elder Faith, and the Old Religion.
Joyce and I occasionally run into Pagans having a debate over whether the term ¿Pagan¿ or ¿neo-Pagan¿ should be used. The term ¿Pagan,¿ after all, refers to ancient, tribal, and usually pre-Christian cultures that are mostly extinct. To avoid confusion between historical Paganism and the modern movement, many social scientists and Pagans alike have decided they prefer the word ¿neo-Pagan.¿
The noted author and Druid Isaac Bonewits goes further. He uses the word ¿paleopaganism¿ to describe ¿the original tribal faiths of Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania and Australia.¿ A few of these tribal faiths, such as Hinduism, Taoism, and Shintoism, whose adherents number in the millions, have survived to the present. Next, Bonewits describes ¿mesopaganism¿ as re-creations of paleopagan systems, usually with influences from Judeo-Christian thought. Some of his examples are Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, Voudon, Santeria, and Sikhism. His third category is ¿neopaganism,¿ which he defines as religions created from the 1960s onward, and that ¿have attempted to blend what their founders perceived as the best aspects of different types of paleopaganism with modern 'Aquarian Age¿ ideals.¿6
We leave it to you to decide how to refer to your spiritual path. In this book, however, we use the word ¿Pagan.¿
Who Is a Pagan?
The word ¿Pagan¿ is a label that identifies you as a person who agrees with one or more parts of Pagan philosophy, and who may participate in observances or practices common to Pagans. In the broadest sense, Paganism is an umbrella term that describes a multitude of religious and spiritual traditions. This is not unique to Paganism. Most of us are already familiar with Christianity as an umbrella term that describes a myriad of denominations and groups. These include Methodists, Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Jehovah¿s Witnesses, to name a few. If we try to define Christianity in a sentence we will find it difficult. Moreover, we will not be able to capture in that sentence the differences between Catholics and Mormons, for example. Pagans are in the same boat, and yet are frequently asked by friends, family, and journalists to describe all of Paganism in a sentence or a sound bite.
Let¿s take a look at the Pagan umbrella (Figure 1.1). Under Paganism¿s umbrella are found such diverse traditions as Wicca, Shamanism, Asatru, Eclectic, Family Traditions, Celtic Traditionalism, Druidism, Strega, Santeria, Voudon, Ceremonial Magick, Mystery Traditions, solitaries, as well as a wide variety of Blended paths such as Judeopaganism, Christopaganism, Buddhistpaganism (or Easternpaganism), and so on. These traditions, while spanning many centuries and cultures, share at least one of several characteristics: they are indigenous, earth-centered, contain magickal elements, recognize both male and female deities, were suppressed or eradicated by another religion, or stress a connection to and respect for the natural world.
In other words, Paganism is a broad term that acts as an umbrella under which many different traditions find a home. Joyce and I have been asked, ¿So are you Wiccan or are you Pagan?¿ This like asking, ¿So are you Baptist or are you Christian?¿ Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans follow a Wiccan path, in the same way that Baptists are Christians, but not all Christians are Baptists. To answer the question of what Joyce and I are, we would reply that we are ¿Eclectics.¿ What does that mean exactly? Below we take a brief look at each of the Pagan traditions. Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this chapter to explain the various traditions in detail. The study of even one tradition can, and does, fill many books. So many books, in fact, have been written on most of these paths and traditions that you should have no trouble finding further reading. Just check with your bookseller by subject.
Wicca. Wicca is the single largest tradition within Paganism; nearly half of all Pagans are Wiccan.7 Wiccans follow an earth-centered calendar of eight festivals a year, and believe that Deity manifests in both male and female forms often called ¿the God¿ and ¿the Goddess.¿ The Wiccan ethic is set out in the Wiccan Rede, which states, ¿If it harm none, do what you will.¿
Gardnerian Wicca. This is the name given to the branch of Wicca begun by Gerald Gardner in 1939.
Alexandrian Wicca. This is an adaptation of the Gardnerian tradition. It was begun by two of Gardner¿s students¿Alex and Maxine Sanders¿during the 1960s. Both Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions tend to use set ritual forms and more hierarchical degrees of training than other forms of Wicca.
Dianic Wicca. This is a Wiccan path that focuses on the strong female Deity Diana. Dianic groups often allow only women members and may concentrate only on Goddess energy. Specifically, they work with the images of Goddess as maiden, mother, and crone, known as the Triple Goddess. The term ¿Dianic¿ was first used by Margaret Murray, author of The Witch-Cult in Western Europe in 1921.8
Faery Wicca. Those who practice Faery Wicca work specifically with nature spirits.
Strega. This is an Italian tradition of Wicca that emphasizes herbal knowledge and tends to be strongly matriarchal.
Shamanism. Shamanism is a Pagan tradition that involves going into a trance state in order to perform a variety of works, which may include healing and divination. Shamanism is considered by some to be the oldest Pagan tradition.9 It is also found in cultures and religions not necessarily considered Pagan. The shamanic Pagans we know may follow a particular shamanic tradition or combine practices from several; they do not necessarily use Wiccan techniques such as casting a circle, calling the directions, and inviting Deities, although they might if they consider themselves Shamanic Wiccans.
Asatru. Those who practice Asatru devote themselves to the Nordic, Germanic, and Icelandic Deities, and may do soto the exclusion of all other Deities by a voluntary covenant.
Eclectic. Those who practice Eclectic Paganism combine what they believe to be the best elements from a variety of Pagan, and possibly non-Pagan, traditions.
Family Traditions. This Pagan tradition involves beliefs and practices that are passed down through a family over the generations. The practice of the tradition may be informal and involve no ritual, but its origins are frequently Pagan. The connection to Paganism may be downplayed, denied, or combined with Christian elements. A well-known surviving example is the Germanic Pow-wow tradition, which has its origins in German witchcraft and has been modified into faith healing.10
Celtic Traditionalism. This describes groups, or clannads, whose goal is to re-create pre-Christian Gaelic religion and society.
Druidism. Druidism is a revival tradition that attempts to re-create the Druidic system and may or may not be combined with Celtic Traditionalism. Since the Druids left few written records of their practices and rituals, modern Druidism tries to infer what was done.
Santeria and Voudon. These are traditions that developed among Africans, especially followers of the Yoruban religion, which later spread into Central and South America. Voudon is based in Haiti, and Santeria in Central America, South America, Puerto Rico, and some portions of North America. As was mentioned earlier, Isaac Bonewits describes Santeria and Voudon as ¿mesopagan¿ traditions. Many, though not all, of the Pagans we know who combine aspects of Santeria, Voudon, or Yoruba into their spirituality are ethnically connected to these cultures and have frequently told us that their study of these ¿mesopagan¿ faiths brings them closer to their cultural origins.
Ceremonial Magick. This describes traditions that usually involve precise rituals, words, and tools, and draw heavily on the writings of Aleister Crowley and the Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn was a prominent occult society founded in Britain in 1887 by a small group of Rosicrucians. Its complex set of rituals are set out in the book The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie. Ritual magicians who focus on Crowley¿s works and ritual forms are known as Thelemics.
Mystery Traditions. This Pagan tradition includes those who study the ancient Greek, Roman, or Egyptian Mystery Traditions, particularly those practiced between three and five thousand years ago.
Solitary. This term describes a person who practices alone, regardless of tradition. This does not mean that solitaries never enjoy being with a group or community of Pagans. We know many solitaries who attend public Pagan functions in our city. They do not, however, have an interest in joining a circle or coven on a permanent basis.
Blended Traditions. This term describes traditions that deliberately blend together two paths. Examples include Judeopaganism, which is often strongly matriarchal and blends certain ancient Jewish customs with an earth-centered practice. We have a friend who calls herself a ¿Jewitch,¿ for example. Christopaganism blends some Christian beliefs and practices with Paganism. Christopagans may pray the rosary and work magickally with angels, archangels, and other spirits. In our experience, most Christopagans revere Jesus and believe that his teachings are loving and beneficial to the world and are in no way in opposition to the principles of Paganism.We have also met Pagans who blend some aspects of Buddhism and other Eastern traditions into their spiritualities. In addition to Pagan observances, their spiritual practices may include periods of meditation, yoga, t¿ai chi, or the martial arts.
How Many Pagans Are There?
Since there are no membership lists, getting a head count of Pagans is a challenge. Modern efforts to document Pagans began in Britain in the 1950s during a revival of interest in Paganism. The revival was encouraged by the repeal of the antiwitchcraft laws in England in 1951 and the publication of Gerald Gardner¿s book Witchcraft Today.11 At that time, the number of Pagans in the United States was probably low, but no records were kept. The British revival grew and by the 1960s Paganism had become fairly popular in the United States. However, the emergence of a sizable Pagan presence in the U.S. did not occur until the 1970s, and was aided by the publication of two books, Margot Adler¿s Drawing Down the Moon and Starhawk¿s Spiral Dance, both of which are still popular today.
One of the earliest scholarly studies of Paganism was conducted by Marcello Truzzi in 1972. At that time he estimated Wiccans to number 3,000 in the United States, but gave no data on the number of Pagans as a whole.12 Based on data collected in the mid-1980s, religious academics in the early 1990s estimated the number of Pagans in the United States to be approximately 300,000, a rather remarkable rate of growth in one decade.13 The mid-1980s population numbers were generated by the analysis of book sales, attendance at Pagan festivals, and studies of group membership patterns.
How many Pagans are there now? Unfortunately, there has been no population data collected by religious academics since the mid-1980s. Informal data can be found in polls and surveys, however, and these offer some food for thought. The website Survey.net conducts an ongoing religious survey for Internet users. Their survey includes categories such as Wicca, Druid, Faery, Old Gods, New Age, Ceremonial Magick, and Goddess Traditions. Near the beginning of 2002, 6.5 percent of Internet users who responded to the survey identified themselves as belonging to one of these categories.14 In September 2001, the United States government conducted a study in which it determined that Internet users in the U.S. numbered 143 million people.15 If we extrapolate the Internet survey percentage to U.S. Internet users as a whole, then as many as 9.3 million Internet users may be Pagan, or follow paths closely related to Paganism.
Another interesting figure comes from the Hart and Teeter Research Companies. The organization conducted a poll in October 1997 in which 4 percent of respondents answered they are involved in an ¿alternative religion.¿16 Although Pagans often refer to their spirituality as an ¿alternative religion,¿ the term would obviously include many religions other than Paganism. Even so, it is interesting that such a large percentage of the population, or approximately 10.8 million people if we extrapolate the survey percentage to the U.S. population as a whole, identify their spirituality as ¿alternative.¿
Along these same lines, a survey conducted in 1995 by Yankelovich Partners reveals that 8 percent of those polled had participated in ¿New Age¿ rituals and practices such as contacting the dead, spirit channeling, investigating past lives, mental telepathy, healing through mind power or crystals, consulting a fortuneteller or astrologer, or making plans based on their horoscope.17 This survey includes practices that are not exclusively Pagan. However, if we apply the survey percentage of 8 percent to the U.S. population as a whole, then it does indicate that 21.6 million people were apparently open enough to New Age, Pagan, and other alternative practices to participate in them.
We discussed the issue of Pagan population figures with a religious academic who has published studies on Paganism, and he believes that at the beginning of the twenty-first-century Pagans in the U.S. numbered about 1.25 million people. This is just his opinion, however. We will have to wait for another academic study to be released before we will know if he was correct.
How do the number of Pagans compare to other religions in the United States? According to 2002 World Almanac figures for ¿northern America,¿ which excludes Latin America and South America, Buddhists number just under 800,000, Hindus 1.3 million, Jews number 6 million, and Muslims number about 4.5 million. Even using the mid-1980s Pagan population figure of 300,000, Pagans constitute a significant minority. If future academic studies support the estimate of one million or more Pagans, then Pagans would indeed constitute a significant religious minority in the United States as of the turn of the twenty-first century.

I have been interested in Paganism for quite some time after realizing my Christian background didn't reflect my beliefs. I had no idea where to start but I came across this book and saw the great reviews. I haven't gotten very far in the book yet but so far I have learned a lot from it. It is well-written, it doesn't bash other religions but simply lays out the different viewpoints on the various topics. I an enjoying this book so far and I can't wait to finish it. I would definitely recommend the book for newbies looking for a place to start.
It was exactly what I was looking for - no fluffy bunnies, great information that is up-to-date and relavent to today's view of religion and spirituality.
This book is very well written by people who obviously know and appreciate Paganism. Many exercises, jounal questions and discussion questions also help a great deal. Great for people who are considering Paganism, as well as for people who simply want to know more.
Joyce and River Higginbotham are wonderful teachers through this book. i learned much about the spiritual faith i was wanting to be a part of as an adult. it's easy to understand and the exercises and journals help out tremendously as well. it's definitely a good book to read even if someone is just curious to see what the faith is about.
An excellent source for anyone looking to learn about paganism as a whole. They provide plenty of information and great fruit for thought. Rather your a Christian, Budhist, or any other religion, this book has great ideas on how to increase your own relationship with your Diety. If you know someone who is a pagan, but don't fully understand what they believe, or if you are thinking about or already are a pagan yourself, then this is an excellent source of information, enlightenment, and comfort.
If you're interested in learning the basics of Paganism or expanding your own spirituality outside of Paganism, this is an excellent book. It explains that most Pagans, regardless of sect, usually hold certain beliefs and then goes about illustrating those to the reader. Not all Pagans believe the same thing, just like all Christians don't believe the same things, but they have similar principals. It uses illustrations, topics for discussion, journaling ideas, meditation and more to help guide you to your own personal spirituality. If you're looking for a description of the different sects under the Paganism umbrella, you will get some names but not many specifics.
This is one of the first books I picked up to learn more about Paganism in its various forms. It was easy to read, well-written & non-judgemental. It didn't shove the contenf down your throat. Overall a very good option for the curious...well, except for the chapter on quantum physics. My eyes crossed for that part. Loved everything else, tho.
Very good beginners book. I just wish they had it in nook format.

At the moment I am pulled into a book titled The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and a television series titled True Blood. When I'm reading the book or watching the series I completely lose track of time and my emotions attach themselves to the characters so much so that my heart races during the exciting parts.
These sort of things are inspiring to me. I aspire to be a master story teller like these authors have become. Today I am grateful for these stories and for the inspiration to better myself and my writing.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:34pm
Boston, MA - Major League Lacrosse announced Monday a major deal naming Sports Authority Inc., the premier full-line sporting goods retailer, as an Official Partner of Major League Lacrosse beginning in March, 2011.
"Sports Authority is an industry leader in providing quality, brand-name sporting goods and we are thrilled to launch this strategic partnership with such a powerhouse company," said Major League Lacrosse Commissioner David Gross. "MLL's partnership with Sports Authority is a testament to the growth of our league in mainstream professional sports and we look forward to collaborating with SA this season."
Under terms of the agreement, Sports Authority will become the exclusive national sporting goods retailer of the MLL.
"Sports Authority has been a long-time supporter of lacrosse at all levels - youth as well as professional - and is honored to officially partner with Major League Lacrosse," said Jeff Schumacher, Chief Marketing Officer of Sports Authority. "We believe in this dynamic fast paced sport and its ability to create a passionate fan base as well as motivate youth to be active."
As part of the partnership, Sports Authority will be synonymous with Major League Lacrosse. From a broadcast standpoint, Sports Authority will be the title sponsor for all 40 games that are televised either on ESPN2 or through syndication. In addition to television, Sports Authority will be the title sponsor of all 40 MLL games streamed online at ESPN3.com. As part of this title sponsorship they will receive commercial units, in-game features and billboards.
As the title sponsor of "Inside the MLL," a weekly 30-minute magazine show, Sports Authority will help support the league's efforts in providing fans with highlights, features, game previews and capturing the lifestyle of Major League Lacrosse players. Sports Authority will also be the title sponsor of "Inside the Team," a weekly 10 minute show for each MLL club.
The All-Star Game will now be known as "The Sports Authority MLL All-Star Game" and the retail giant will also become the title sponsor of the League's playoff series, coining the event as "The Sports Authority MLL Championship Weekend presented by Warrior".
Sports Authority will be featured on the official game jerseys of two Major League Lacrosse teams. The Rochester Rattlers and The Denver Outlaws will proudly display the SA logo on their game jerseys and shorts.
In stadium, Sports Authority will be prominently featured with field level signage, goal post signage, on-field contests, interactive fan zone displays, couponing, video board and public address announcements and ads in the game day magazine.
From a digital standpoint, Sports Authority will be prominently displayed on the majorleaguelacrosse.com website as well as the presenting sponsor of the soon to be released MLL and team mobile apps.
SA and MLL will work together to create both national and grassroots activation programs specifically designed to reach both brand objectives.

About Me
I've been modeling now for several years. I originally got involved in modeling through my music career. After doing a few photo shoots for my music career I really took a liking to being in front of a camera. I eventually started working on building a portfolio and doing what I do best which is help create beautiful and artistic images for the world to enjoy. I plan on continuing to model for as long as there are people out there that admire the images I help create and there are photographers out there who want me in front of their cameras.
Here's the skinny on working with me: I love working with fellow models and photographers to create artistically beautiful images. I enjoy conceptual shoots the most. I'm always interested in taking on new and challenging projects so if you like my portfolio and would like to work with me feel free to send me a message addressing the the details of the project you'd like me to consider. I am open to TFP shoots as long as I feel the project will add something new to my portfolio. Thanks for stopping by!

Reports point to slowing Canada economy
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO (Reuters) - Details in a pair of reports on Thursday suggest the Canadian economy is softening, with purchasing activity increasing at a more moderate pace, while a surprise jump in building permits was due mostly to the volatile non-residential sector.
The reports are not seen as major indicators, and so reaction by the Canadian dollar and bond markets were muted, particularly ahead of Friday's employment report.
But the numbers point to two sectors that have been key pillars of the Canadian economy during its expansion.
The value of building permits jumped unexpectedly in September, rising 13.4 percent and defying expectations of a 1 percent decline.
"Tighter credit conditions point to an increasingly conservative operating environment for the construction sector, which was reflected in the forecast for a continued contraction in building permits," said Stewart Hall, an economist at HSBC Securities.
"As such, the significant rise in building permits seems out of context with the prevailing economic environment."
The underlying details show that record institutional permits, mostly because of planned medical and educational buildings, are propping up the building activity.
Meanwhile, the data showed weakness in the residential building sector for a second straight month. Continued...

Ask Oahu
Email us questions about your next vacation to Oahu and we will reply to you as soon as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
What is the time difference from the continental US?
- Hawaii follows Hawaii Standard Time (GMT-10 hours), which is 5 hours behind Eastern Standard Time and 2 hours behind Pacific Standard Time. Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time so add one extra hour to the time difference during this period (March through November).
Where is the main airport on Oahu?
- Oahu's main airport is Honolulu International Airport (HNL). HNL is also Hawaii's major airport, serving as the entry point for most of Hawaii's visitors.
Do I need a car to get around Oahu?
- If you're planning to stay in Waikiki, you can get around by shuttle, tour bus, taxi, or Hawaii's excellent public transportation system. But to really experience Oahu outside of Waikiki, you should consider renting a car.
Where are the major hotel and resort areas on Oahu?
- Most Oahu resorts and hotels can be found in Waikiki. You can also find one luxury resort in east Honolulu (The Kahala Hotel & Resort), one on the North Shore (Turtle Bay Resort) and one on the Leeward Coast in the Ko Olina Resort area (J.W. Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa).

While dress-down Friday will continue, blue denim, sports clothes, crop-tops, Tshirts and baggy clothes will be banned. Clubbing gear will be out and for good measure, shirts will have to be tucked in.
In line with the growth of e-commerce, City firms had relaxed their insistence on stiff collars, pinstripes and ties. But Deutsche's chief operating manager Mark Ferron said 'casual business dress' has been taken to extremes and 'business wardrobes' should be rebuilt. He added: 'We feel there has been a significant shift in sentiment over the past 18 months among our clients regarding dress code.'
Ferron warned that should staff fail to comply, even dress-down Fridays would be ditched. By way of encouragement he reminded staff they are eligible for discounts at a number of retailers. A spokesman for Deutsche Bank said: 'We are a global investment bank, not a sixth form college.'
Trade and risk adviser Christina Gmad, 24, said: 'It's wonderful that people here have the choice of dressing more casually. But for me it doesn't make much of a difference because I dress fairly smartly every day. You never know when a customer will come into the office so it's best to be on the smart side.'
Tammie McNiece, 24, who works in IT at the bank, said: 'The dress-down policy is great. I love business casual. It's easier to buy things for, and you can be in fashion. Suits are just so uncomfortable, especially on hot days like this, and what I wear has no bearing on my work.'Reuse content

Umm...hi, Gary. (winces)Originally Posted by Gary BrommelandI know, Gary. (winces)That mag pouch I made you was absolutely perfectI know, Gary. (winces, again)- cut right off the butt (the Filet Mignon) of the hide !!!Yes, it was, Gary. (winces)It was GORGEOUSWell...not exactly. It wasn't like I said, "Here's your treat!" Needlenose got it out of my frickin' range bag, while I wasn't home. I got home and it was a sodden mass in his mouth and the belt loops had been chewed off...and you fed it to a frickin' dog ???I did offer to pay for a replacement, ya know.Tell you what I'm gonna doThank you, Gary.- I owe you a favor.Thank you, Gary.I'm sending you out another one (on me) next trip to the Post Office.Yes, Gary. Thank you, Gary.Please try to keep it away from the mutt..
(aside) Zen, do that again, and I turn you into taco meat.
All Brommeland leather goods are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser. This does not cover normal wear and tear, abuse (including failure to provide proper maintenance), acts of blatant stupidity or damage inflicted by small children or Greyhound dogs.
Simply return the piece in question (along with the original sales receipt - no exceptions), and Ill send you another one on me - no pro-rate, no hassles. (The replacement piece MUST, however, be the same product for the same model weapon).

This is sad and funny at the same time. I can only imagine the sinking, nasty feeling in your gut when you got home and realized what exactly it was Rover was chewing on.
As a hint, you may want to add Gary to your Christmas card list this year.

Mag pouch,
I wonder what a fine "GreatDane" mag pouch would look like?
I feel your pain, I lost an Eddie bros felt Cowboy hat and a Stetson straw cowboy hat to my chew monster. The doggie door is nailed shut now.

If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand
I get a quesy feeling in my gut when I imagine your response on discovering the incident. This reenforces my opinion of Gary Brommeland. There is one classy Gent. I have 3 of his Max Con V's and a mag pouch, so I understand your disappointment. Leather goods don't come any better!!!

Quesy doesn't begin to cover it. And I couldn't be but so mad at my hound. He just thought he'd found a really cool rawhide chew toy that smelled really different from everything else. He was very happy when I found him. Punishing him, at that point, would have only made him think I'd lost my mind. I, on the other hand, was sick, since it hadn't even been in the house 24 hours, and I hadn't had a chance to even assemble the rig with the holster broken in. Sigh.
I think I'd rename the dog " Target" :)
I'm sure your family will only miss the dog the first couple of days - then they will get over it...
They love us and give so much to us that we just have to forgive them their mistakes (especially when it is really our fault). Glad Gary is generous.Originally Posted by Tom357

Gary is doing you a nice gesture, but if you were my customer I would not only send you a replacement mag-pouch, but also use some scrap leather to make you a dog muzzle and leash.
How 'bout it, Gary!
