Baron Wars Volunteerism
Expand Messages
- Greetings unto the populace of Red Spears,
As you know in a scant two weeks the largest event to be hosted
within the Barony will be upon us. With over 1,200 people expected
to be in attendence and the staff currently standing around 20 we
always appreciate any volunteer time that the populace of the Barony
can give us. In return of course we tithe of our profits to the
Baronial coffers.
New for this year, for each hour of volunteer labor you donate you
will be given a raffle ticket which can be used towards drawings for
gifts (we have about 10 items on offer). There will be a set up in
one of the A&S tents with a brown bag by each item. Simply drop any
tickets you acquire in the bag associated with the item you wish to
win. We will draw these on Saturday and announce winners at court.
The following areas will definately need assistance:
Troll will be open from 2pm on Friday until around 3 or 4pm on
Saturday with peak business hours on Friday night from around 6 until
around 1am, and Saturday from around 7am - 10am. To volunteer for
troll please contact troll@...
Parking and traffic control: with the one way system we use at Baron
Wars traffic control requires a minimum of three people with more
required at peak business hours to ensure free flowing traffic. Peak
hours are Friday night, Saturday morning and Sunday morning. You get
a radio, a flourescent vest or if necessary rain jacket (hopefully
not). To volunteer for this essential duty make yourself known to
our parking co-ordinator Drust (Lord Little Dude, Dan, Alexander)
once you are on site.
Information point: we did have a volunteer to staff this critical
area, however there has been an attack of real life and he can no
longer attend the event. Information point is responsible for
maintaining the camping map, notice board, interaction with mundanes,
updates to schedule. A perfect position for a chatelaine or someone
who enjoys dealing with people. To volunteer for info point contact
either of the autocrats: me (helewyse@...) and vinnie
Water Bearing: critical to the health and well being of people all
over site, not just the heavy weapons area. Although this is the
area which requires the most volunteers. Stop your friends and our
army from dehydrating and making themselves sick on the battlefield.
Make yourself known to the Chiurgeon and Kingdom Water Bearer
Mistress Nonna the midwife at the event.
Setup: Most of the areas within the fort require some set up. E.g.
list poles etc for equestrian. Hay bales for archery etc. If you
are participating in an activity offer your assistance to those who
have been gracious enough to give their entire day to running these
activities for you. This includes THL Aiden Alpen for hounds and
youth Boffer and Lady Rowan for equestrian.
Cleanup: the event for many of us is not over until every last piece
of trash has been picked up from site. Every last pavillion of the
marche taken down, every last tiki pulled from the ground and every
last tire rut flattened, raked and seeded. Please give this a thought
as you pack to leave. Clean up your campsite and drop your trash at
trash pickup. Give us an hour of your time so we can leave site
before 7pm.
Thankyou all in advance for your assistance.
Helewyse de Birkestad,OL

Survey: digital products have revenue potential
February 4, 2014
By Stanley Schwartz
Managing Editor | Publishers' Auxiliary
Digital newspaper vendors believe there is revenue potential on those electronic pages.
A survey done by the National Newspaper Association, asked companies that offer digitization of newspapers how they see community publications progressing on the electronic frontier.
More than half of the respondents, 58.3 percent, said they thought the best reason for newspapers to offer a digital version of their print products was to develop new revenue potential. And half believe it demonstrates a newspaper's progress toward a digital future.
One said, "It is a way to provide a print-like curated product that readers like with the immediacy and low publishing costs of the Web."
Another added that; "Publishers should also realize that even with a static PDF they can enhance their editions with interactive content, not just to enhance engagement but to also serve as additional revenue spots."
For those publications still debating taking that step, there may be some good news. More than half of the vendors, 66.7 percent, believe the cost for digitizing newspapers has come down.
Because of the revenue potential, none of the vendors thought newspapers should make their digital versions free to the public. Some, 36.4 percent, thought it should be available with the paid print subscription. But only about 9 percent thought the digital version should be made available without the print product—at a lower price than the printed paper.
"Most of our publishers offer the electronic issue free with a print subscription," said one of the vendors. "The next most popular is offering it at the Local rate for an electronic-only issue. This is the best option as they can then get rid of the postal and printing cost for that subscription."
Plus, once the paper is in a digital format, it can be delivered to a reader's mobile device, so the publication can be accessed from anywhere the reader can use his or her phone.
One vendor said, "Digital publishing means a lot more than it did a few years ago. It encompasses not just websites but mobile sites, social media outlets, apps, tablet publications, sms and newsletters to name a few primary channels. But we believe it also means being able to republish and repackage content as well to take advantage of the strengths the different channels offer."
The majority of vendors who answered the survey, 83.3 percent, said communities with smaller staffs would be better off with a turnkey program that does not require much training.
One of the companies said, "Something that does not require much training should be a priority as well as a system that pretty much anyone in the office can use. It should be affordable so that the smaller, community papers are able to utilize the system."
"Ideally the publisher should be looking for an ROI within 12 months, if not sooner," another vendor said. "One of the most important factors for a publisher to consider is also minimal disruption to an existing workflow, if their provider can tap in to this then it means low ongoing costs for a publisher internally."
The majority of vendors, 75 percent, said they believe social media should provide an additional avenue for promotion of the newspaper. More than 66 percent said they also think social media can provide an avenue for distribution.
One vendor said social media can, "Help shape the story—turn the conversation into a two-sided conversation, not just one sided, by engaging feedback from the readers."
The uses for digital versions of newspapers are numerous. Much like when newspapers first began making their presence known on the Internet through their own websites, digital versions can be a way to gain more readers or keep those readers who travel and still want to stay in touch with their home towns.
One vendor noted that "Publishers should also seek systems that embrace their different channels and help them plan to craft content that makes the most of each channel. So the same exact story does not have to just be repurposed from print to Web to mobile. Papers should look to systems that help them take advantage of the unlimited space electronic publications offer to run more photos, a longer version of a story, video and so forth."

Make no mistake, you didn't buy your CLK55 AMG unless you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that luxury is built into each Mercedes-Benz, and understand that only the best replacement CLK55 AMG parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. When your Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes European styling in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
If steering weren't important, then all of our roads would be completely straight and there would be no need to turn. That would surely not be a pleasurable experience for Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG owners, and it would also mean that tie rods would likely never have been invented. The tie rod ends on your vehicle join your steering knuckles to the rack and pinion or center link, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG tie rod means your vehicle would lack the capabilities to maneuver in an emergency.

Marks & Spencer aiming for five Paris shops
British food and fashion store Marks & Spencer, which shut its French branches a decade ago, said Wednesday it will have a shop open on the Champs-Elysees before Christmas and plans four other Paris shops.
The company declined to set a date for the opening of its prime Paris location, but invited journalists for a look on November 23, feeding speculation it will be open for a full month of holiday shopping.
M&S International Director Jan Heere said the Champs-Elysees shop at 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) would offer only a selection of women's fashion, lingerie and food.
However the other four other much larger shops would carry M&S's full assortment of products, he added.
M&S announced its return to France in April and launched a French Internet store in October.

Contacted BMW dealership in Arlington to identify if service advisor could set up appointment. BMW Service advisor was cold and lacked empathy to my situation. I contacted DFW Bimmer and explained what had happened and Jesse communicated that he would be happy to fit me in and check out my X5. I located his facility and he had me park my vehicle in one of the bays. First time there and I was impressed with how clean he maintains his bays. Also impressed with his professionalism. He walked me through the service. Explained the error, validated that the coolant was low and even checked to verify that no leaks were visible. He also performed a vacuum seal test to verify that hidden leaks were not present. His staff was pleasant and professional. You could tell that Jesse takes pride in what he does and his customer service was excellent. He understands how to earn repeat business. I will recommend his facility to friends and acquaintances that live in the area and require quality service in the DFW area. I am also happy to provide a reference on his behalf to future customers. I drove from Westlake, TX and it only took me 20 minutes to get there (with no traffic). Thank you Jesse and staff for taking care of my X5. Avie DeSwardt

Larry Silver, M.D.: Learning Disabilites, ADHD, & Associated Issues
Learning Disabilities Association of Kentucky
Friday, June 20, 2014 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Morning Presentation:
Learning Disabilities are Life Disabilities
Being unable to comprehend the text of a schoolbook often leads to other issues. The same disabilities that impact reading, writing, math, and other academic tasks in school will impact other life skills within the family, with peers, and in clubs/activities/sports. It is important for parents and educators to understand this reality.
These Learning Disabilities impact on all aspects of the individual's life – in the family, with peers, with sports, and with other activities. It is important that parents understand these other areas of concern and that they develop plans for addressing each. Dr. Silver will discuss both of these themes, illustrating ways that parents can help their child develop compensatory strategies to handle these "life disabilities."
Some people with specific learning disabilities have isolated difficulties in reading, writing, or mathematics. However, most people with learning disabilities have more than one area of difficulty. Some children have good verbal (language) skills but weaknesses in visual and spatial perception, motor skills and, most significantly, social skills—affecting their ability to grasp the main idea, "see the whole picture," or understand cause-and-effect relationships. With recognition of their difficulties, appropriate help, and the development of their interests and talents, children with LD can learn to succeed both in school and beyond.
Afternoon Session:
ADHD and Comorbity: Issues for Parents & Pros
Individuals with Learning Disabilities have a high likelihood of also having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as the possibility of having difficulty regulating emotions, resulting in an Anxiety Disorder, Depression, problems with anger control and/or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Dr. Silver will discuss this pattern of "comorbidity," stressing the importance of recognizing and treating each of these related disorders that are present.
LD, Behavioral or Emotional Disorders may also explain why a child on medication can sit still and stay focused and yet do poorly academically. There could also be another reason for academic failure. If the ADHD diagnosis isn't made until the fourth or fifth grade, it's possible that a child will have gaps in basic skills, especially math and language arts, prior to receiving treatment.
This presentation will help guide diagnosis and management of ADHD.Parents,educators, government and medical professionals must be informed to shape the evaluation process and plan for treatment. This presentation will explain what everyone should know about the most common conditions associated with ADHD. An overview of neurologically-based disorders believed to coexist with ADHD will be discussed, and it will also address basic treatment concepts & pharmacology.

Learning Disabilities Association of Kentucky
The Learning Disabilities Association of Kentucky, Inc.(LDA) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that has been in existence for over 45 years. It was established in 1966 and has had a charter under four different names. The current name has been in effect since 1990.
The organization was originally brought about to provide counseling and support for families that needed advice about their children's different learning styles. Our extensive lending library and a video/audio rental service has been the standard for information in this area for years. However, the advent of the information age has made it so that LDA has had to branch out into tutoring and seminars in order to maintain service and visibility for this area. However, we still maintain a large inventory of materials on learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia and related subjects.
LDA provides many of its services at no charge to families, children, adults, and professionals who work with learning differences, such as attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. It provides educational programs and services such as monthly support groups, self-esteem training, and academic enrichment programs. LDA has a lending library, information on learning differences, and video rental. LDA also offers Professional Development Seminars . It is an affiliate of LDA of America.
The mission of LDA is to bring individuals together and work to improve conditions for those with learning differences, to share knowledge, disseminate information, provide programs, and seek to affect policies related to learning differences.
LDA maintains a large inventory of materials on learning disabilities, including a lending library and a video/audio rental service. In addition, information on our website and support groups are available.

For all of the people reading this who don't like wrestling I suggest you stop here as the title of this blog is about Daniel Bryan (not because I am super happy). Actually, I am super Happy so hooray. Anyhow, for just over a week now I have been thinking about what to write about Wrestlemaina. Should I write a review, should I suggest what they could have improved, should I maybe even suggest where the WWE should go from here. Then I thought screw that. How can I review a show where my favourite wrestler gets beaten in the first match in 18 seconds. Daniel Bryan, the guy who is arguably the best technical wrestler in the WWE, who has worked his ass off for the last 12 months, and who has had some great matches with CM Punk recently gets buried in the opening match. How do the fans react? Simple. they realise the whole thing is Horse S*** and spend the next two matches chanting for Daniel Bryan. Then on Raw this happens:
For people confused by the "Yes!" chants, they are all aimed at Daniel Bryan. Ever since he won the World Heavyweight Championship (the second biggest title in the WWE) he enters the ring screaming YES! YES! YES!. This obviously has caught on. Despite all of this chanting on Raw and at Wrestlemania, Daniel Bryan was only on Raw for about 20 seconds for a interview where he said nothing. However after the show, this happened.
Now, if you have not watched wrestling for many years, you would probably be thinking that Daniel Bryan today is as big as Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock etc. based on these two videos. I mean, it is obvious people have chosen a new champion and this guy should be turned a good guy and be the new face of Smackdown (I personally still think the face of Smackdown is Randy Orton). For some reason, this has not happened. On Smacdown last week he remained a bad guy, just spoke a bit and dumped his girl friend. On raw last night, he did nothing except for helping to break up the Cena Lesnar fight. So, what I would like to know from all the Wrestling fans reading this is their impressions of Daniel Bryan and where exactly you think he will go from here on in. In my ideal world on Raw last week Lesnar would have just walked down the ramp and did a speech about being back and it would have been Daniel Bryan laying into Cena but what cha gonna do?
