(a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction room to

The Auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion.
(c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals.
(d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.

Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk. Value Added Tax is charged
at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant Lots. (Please refer to "Information for Buyers"
for a brief explanation of the VAT position).
(1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will:
(a) Give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and
(b) Pay to us the Total Amount Due in cash or in such other say as is agreed by us.
(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any
directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.
(1) The ownership of any Lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the Total Amount Due.
(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 3 working days following the
day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and
insurance charges.
(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.
(1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as
agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled
to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:
(a) To proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;
(b) To rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;

to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of) any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is
(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue these rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate
recovery in respect of breach of these Conditions.
All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay out of the accommodation and security
arrangements. Accordingly neither the Auctioneer nor its employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as
required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and
shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute
bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure
is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer
the first bid so made. The Auctioneer may at its own discretion on your behalf exceed your commission by one bid. An instruction to buy
with no upper limit will not be accepted.
The seller warrants to the Auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true
owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by seller or buyers.
The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their
entirety and on the Terms of Consignment
as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot.
(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers
are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy
themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably,
representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve
matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently
or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither the Auctioneer nor its employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness
of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory,
are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided
for in paragraph 6 "information to buyers".
(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
(3)Please note: Condition of items or other faults for this sale is not stated within the catalogue and items are sold strictly as seen (please read terms and conditions below) If you are interested in an item and no condition report is present please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Due to volume of inquires we receive we are not able to answer requests on group lots or items with an estimate of less than £50.
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a Deliberate Forgery may be returned to us by you within 14 days of the
auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue
description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we shall
refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted
view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are notable to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall
have no rights under this Condition.
The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions of any person.
(1). Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any
exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the Auctioneer as appropriate.
(2). Such right and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the Auctioneer
who may themselves enforce them.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by
the addressee 48 hours after posting.
19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in
accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.
20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or the Terms of Consignment
shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall
be construed as having full force and effect.
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
1. Introduction. The following information notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.
2. Agency. As Auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot.The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale.They are in no sense definitive.
4. Buyer's Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer's premium at 20% + V.A.T (24% inclusive) up to £35,000, 17.5% + VAT from £35,001 to £100,000 and 15% + VAT from £100,001 and above.
5. 'Subject to VAT' indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the Hammer Price as well as being an element in the buyer's premium. Items which are subject to VAT will be cleared marked within the catalogue text as well as being labelled in the saleroom. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the Hammer Price and the buyer's premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such lots are sold using
the Auctioneers' Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they are interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the Auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in
working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the Auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstance lots mis-described because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 2 week time limit. (The expression 'Deliberate Forgery' is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
7. Electrical goods. These are sold as 'antiques' only and if bought for use must be checked over for the compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.
8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of threat character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.
9A The Saleroom live internet bidding: In completing the bidder registration on www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit card details and unless alternative arrangements are agreed with Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers Ltd you
(i) authorise Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers Ltd, if they so wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the sale via the-saleroom.com, and
(ii) confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers Ltd through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that (your auction house name) are entitled to ship the goods to the card holder name and cardholder address provided in fulfilment of the sale.
10. Commission absentee bidding. Commission bids may be left with the Auctioneer indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyer's premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. The Auctioneer may at his/her own discretion on your behalf exceed your commission by one bid. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.
11. Methods of payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted.Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Items not removed within four days of the sale will be subject to a storage charge of £1.50 per item per day.
13. Postage and Shipping. Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers LLP do not provide a postage and packing service however we recommend the following company who deal with all postage, packing, and shipping for us:
T.C Couriers - Tony Cartwright
Telephone: +44 (0) 7746 216 322
email: email@example.com
14. 'The Artists Resale Right' All items marked in with a red asterisk (*) are subject to Artists Resale Right. From mid – February 2006 living artists are entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their art work is bought or sold by an art market professional. However, from 1 January 2012, the Right will be extended to include sales of works by artists who have died within the last 70 years (following
the existing term of copyright). Royalties will be payable to the families and beneficiaries of these artists.This new law has been introduced in the UK following a European Directive. Art work must reach or exceed a certain value before it qualifies for the right.The qualifying threshold in the UK is 1000 euros which is approximately £680. The rates are calculated as a percentage of the sale price and are set out in a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
Portion of the sale price Royalty rate
From 1000 to 50,000 euro 4%
From 50,000.01 to 200,000 euro 3%
This will be an extra charge upon the sum for which the art work is obtained, excluding V.A.T. For auctions this is regarded
as the hammer price (excluding the buyers premium).
For more information please see the Important Notice to Bidders posted in the salerooms or alternatively a full copy of 'The Artists Resale Right Regulations 2006' which is available on request.
Clocks and Watches proviso.
All clocks and watches are sold without warranty. Comments regarding the going condition of clocks and watches relate to
their state at the time of cataloguing and those comments may no-longer be correct at the time of sale or delivery.
Buyers should assume that all lots will require servicing to be useable and reliable.
Clocks and watches are not tested for accuracy, duration or water tightness.
Gemstones and Pearls
That unless stated to the contrary the gemstones and pearls in this catalogue have not been tested
to distinguish between natural and synthetic or cultured

Great Britain and Ireland staged a brilliant last-day surge to win back the Curtis Cup at The Nairn Golf Club. They finished victors by 10 1/2pt to 9 1/2. Trailing by 1pt going into the final set of eighth singles, captain Tegwen Matthews' team notched individual wins by Kelly Tidy, who was three down after six holes, Amy Boulden, Holly Clyburn, Charley Hull and the clincher from Stephanie Meadow.
The last time GB and I beat the Americans was at Killarney in 1996. The US were bidding to win the Curtis Cup for an eighth straight occasion in the biennial fixture. This is believed to be the first time since 1956 that the United States have lost a Curtis Cup match after leading into the final set of singles. The Ryder Cup, Walker Cup, Solheim Cup and now the Curtis Cup all now rest on this side of the Atlantic.
English amateur champion Kelly Tidy came back from three down after six to put the first point of final day on the board at around 1pm. The English champion's 2 and 1 victory over Austin Ernst in the lead-off singles squared the match overall at 6 1/2pt each. GB and I's overall points total rose to 8 1/2 with wins by Holly Clyburn (3 and 2 over Erica Popson) and Amy Boulden (3 and 1 over Emily Tubert).
The United States advanced their overnight points total of 6 1/2 by one with Lisa McCloskey beat Scotland's Pamela Pretswell 4 and 3. Charley Hull played sub-par golf to beat Lindy Duncan 5 and 3 - GB and I now on 9 1/2pt to United States' 7 1/2 The Americans' total moved up to 8 1/2 with Brooke Pancake registering a 6 and 5 win over Leona Maguire in the eighth singles.
Stephanie Meadow produced the clinching point by beating Amy Anderson 4 and 2. Stephanie's figures of four under par were the best of the day, surpassing Charley Hull's earlier three-under-par effort. The Olympic Torch (unlit) was on the first tee. Perhaps it lit the flame of fighting spirit among Tegwen's Troopers.

Available to buy: your own frakkin' 7ft Cylon
If you're a really, really big fan of the recent reinterpretation of Battlestar Galactica and have $8000 not doing anything, you could invest in your very own 7ft-tall Cylon Centurion. According to Sideshow Collectibles, each one is hand-built by a gentleman called Fred Barton of Fred Barton Productions, Los Angeles. And it's …
Different Genres
I've always considered B5 and Battlestar to be more of a drama set in a Sci-Fi setting as compared to Star Trek, Stargate, Farscape, which was Sci-Fi with drama.
But yes, Battlestar is definitely the best dramatised Sci-Fi show since B5, without a doubt. Come to think about it, can't think of any other dramatised Sci-Fi since B5 OTHER than BSG.
Think I'd rather have Grace Park standing in the corner of my living room, but this would do if I had that much money to throw away.
Oops, may have double posted, hopefully the mods will catch the other one.
When I was studying chemistry a few years ago, one of my tutors informed us that Aluminium was now the internationally accepted form of the word, in exchange for the american Sulfur being used in place of Sulphur. However, since in general the americans were ignoring this, he said he was going to continue using Sulphur in protest :)
RE: Alumin(i)um
Actually Rutherford (or whoever invented Aluminium in the first place) called it Alumium, from the stem Alum with the -ium ending to follow the metal naming standards at the time.
Then, for some reason, he renamed it and bizarrely chose Aluminum which after he sobered up realised didn't fit the naming scheme he was trying to follow so he renamed it Aluminium.
To be fair he prolly selected Aluminum because compounds sounded stupid otherwise, try saying sodium aluminate and then try sodium aluminiate. This is probably why Americans call it aluminum (although we all use aluminate pronounced alooominaate)
So Aluminium it should be.
However try getting the Brits to use Sulfur, even though that is now the IUPAC spelling.
Platinium FTW.
Oh, B5 was excellent and the new BSG is awful. Dr. Who with Chris Ecclestone was very good, not sure about the new dude though, although the ones with that Life on Mars fellow as the Master were pretty good.
@ Mycho
***"This vulture has been pecked to death by cats."***
That's nothing. This one was torn to bits by a Radeligian cateagle.
Agree 100% with Kane. I really can't figure out why Farscape gets so little recognition.
Also agree 100% with Mycho. B5's 5-series story arc was epic SF - and if you can't recognise that then you wouldn't know quality SF if it came and kicked you in the nads!
That reminds me.....
... I must ring my mother.
Viper Mk II..?
Life-size Cylons are all well and good, but I really want a Viper (Mk II not those weird Mk VIIs) and I want it to be able to fly and the guns to work :)
Stately Homes and Mansions...
Imagine swapping out all those suits of armour for these guys....THAT'D be cool!
Prop costs
You think this is expensive? The guy who made the Blakes 7 Teleport braclets is now offering replicas for safe - at £150 each! Yes, thats right £150 for plastic piping and a few bits and pieces including sliver foil. What was that Barnum said?!
Cellular phone
I hope that has the effect of fingernails on chalkboards.
ohhh and tick one for firefly for me, thanks
Yes that the one with the pulse beacon in the pocket
@Ashley Pomeroy
i want a robot S&M moderatrix, too!
Farscape all the way
While I enjoy different shows for different reasons, Farscape had to be one of the most original shows, with the best actors cast for thier parts in quite awhile. Moment of silence for its premature death *cry*
BSG is a decent dramatic show with scifi elements, I won't take that away from it.
@Graham Wood
Sorry, your chemist friend is wrong. (But just think how much fun you can have telling him)
The internationally agreed name for element number 13 is 'aluminium', with 'aluminum' being an acceptable alternative.
The problem goes all the way back to Humphry Davy who made the first attempts at separating the raw metal from pure aluminium oxide - alumina. He called the then hypothetical element 'alumium' at first before settling on 'aluminum' where it remained for a few more years before becoming 'aluminium' to fit in better with the majority of metal names.
However, the Brits didn't get it all their own way, the internationally agreed spelling for element 16 is 'sulfur'. Tragically, it is now also the recommended spelling in the UK according to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Presumably the precious little snowflakes in today's schools can't be expected to spell 'sulphur'.
But I'll take the poseable "Boomer Skinjob" instead. LOL!!!
Of Numbers...
Hmmmm...Stargate SG1...Vega 4...Babylon 5...Blake's 7...Mystery Science Theatre 3000...The 4400...
I smell a rat.
oke daniel this i would like to see
"so change left over for a weekend in NYC from a coupla grand then?" i would love to see someone try to get one of these onboard a jet.
No that is my boyfriend, he likes chrome. Or you could tell them it's a new type of phone iCylon?
You could put it in the hold, would f#ck up those luggage handlers that abuse our suitcases.
invented Aluminum?
Cool! can I invent an element?
Original BSG was better. Get the FOX news camera guy away from the cameras. It's like watching Blair Witch with more Shamalamadingdong script writing.
New Battlestar, B5 and Blake 7 all the way baby....
...but not even a tiny mention for Lexx? I'm still in love with Xevv (that's Xenia Seeburg, go look her up). And why did they can Total Recall 2070??? Oh well....
Sulfur Sulphur Serenity
Hmm, sulfur. Sorry, I can't do it, I just can't do it. Mind you, I can't remember the last time I had to write it down so I think I'll live.
I was in HMV the other day and saw a dvd for Serenity going for 3 quid. I don't have a TV so I've never heard of it. Is it any good or am I better dropping my money down a drain?
Re: @AC & Spelling
"Oddly the merkins believe it is better to have tried and failed than to have not tried at all... consequently an attempt to spell correctly is better than not attempting to use words at all... so bravo well done.. you tried."
We just don't really feel the need for certain extraneous letters. We WILL use them when appropriate.
Ex: labour/labor, colour/color
What point does that extra "u" serve, here? When pronouncing "four" vs. "for", the former has more of a short "oo" that the latter's "oe"; that is, it is pronounced (slightly) more like "foor" than "fore"
Do you folks really pronounce the "u", or is it silent? That is, do you generally pronounce as "laboor" and "coloor" (with the short "oo"), or do you pronounce, as we do, more like "labore" and "colore" with a "long-o" vowel sound of shortened duration? (This is NOT intended as snark; I'm actually curious as to whether those "u"s are actually pronounced.)
"In the same vain getting it wrong in Iraq was better than not doing anything! Oh and locking up an inocent man is better than not locking up anyone."
As has been mentioned before and often: never criticize/criticise another person's language without checking your own. I presume that you meant "In the same VEIN..." (...although getting involved in Iraq was both vain -- that is, availing of nothing -- and vain -- as in the vanity of one man who wanted to prove that his were bigger than his Daddy's!)
...And I have to admit: it *IS* true that your police don't go about randomly locking up innocent Brazilian electricians in the London tubes, so I guess that puts you one up on us! ;-)
"and heres some new Merkin corruptions...
Soldering is now pronounced 'sodering'"
Actually, we pronounce it more like "soddering"; your version (using standard "single-consonant-after-a-vowel" rules) would more likely be pronounced "SOE-dering", which I don't believe ANYONE here uses. (And again; no snark being intended, but do you folks on that side of the pond actually pronounce the "l"? "SOLL-dering? That just sounds odd to me.)
"a bot (as in robot) is pronounced 'bolt'"
Nope. Never heard that one -- neither "bolt" nor "boat"; always pronounced as "bott". I'm not saying that NO ONE does; just that I've never heard it.
Then again, we have so many regional accents in this country that the story is told that, back in WWI -- before radio and movies had started blurring regional pronunciations -- the U.S. Army 's non-coms were largely from the mid-west as they were the ones who could translate the orders from the largely northeastern officer corps and pass them down to the largely southern enlisted rank-and-file. (I don't actually KNOW that that's true, but it is claimed.)
"and heres some new Merkin corruptions..."
I heard complaining about our spelling. Now it's time for me to complain about your punctuation. Learn to use apostrophes correctly!
And while we're splitting hairs, "merkin" is a pubic wig.
"Soldering is now pronounced 'sodering'"
I don't think that's a particularly new pronunciation. I've been pronouncing it "soddering" for nearly 50 years, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first.
"a bot (as in robot) is pronounced 'bolt'"
Never heard that one. Like somebody else said, probably a regional variant.
But I'm not sure it's really worth starting another war over. :)
Heart because I love listening to British accents.
Come on REG, BSG had a sparkling witty first season, but what came after is political-mental-diarrhea.
I had to literally delete the rest of the episodes I had downloaded after the boxing match episode, that show died when Baltar was chosen president. Those Cylon capital ships that look like prostitution shops, gosh!
BSG now causes me will to vomit ever since!
All this newfangled spelling
I love how the British misspell words. It so cute pretending to spell like the French. I have one of the 1st best selling books published in London in 1686 and there isn't a RE ending or an unneeded U anywhere in it. As far as the silent L in solder, its been there along with the silent L in Salmon and other Latin words for over 2000 years.
Do these Cylons come with paperwork with all the corners cut off?
Get Serenity! Firefly (of which Serenity is the movie) rocks!
Also, if anyone would be kind enough to buy and send me one of these, I'd almost certainly be able to have it march about. And probably shoot things!
I'd prefer a nude lifesize "clone" of Katee Sackhoff please.
Oh yes indee-de!!!!
Vultures? Cateagles? Nah. . .
If you want it done right, use the Vegans. "Tails High, Brothers!"
By Your Command
I want an ORIGINAL cylon not the modern CGI created hunk of junk!
/me leaves humming the old BSG theme and wonders whatever happened to Baltar
Lets have a vote
American spelling: 300 million for, 30 million against. We win. 8-P
English (and I mean REAL English) is still one of the official languages of India. 1 billion against. You lose.
Interesting to see a mention of Space Above and Beyond. I don't think I've heard anyone mention it in years! I think I still have all the episodes on VHS somewhere, too bad it got canceled by Fox like everything else good.
Not only the billion Indians - you can't even count. The UK hasn't had a population of only 30 million since WWII.
Personally, I always pronounce the "l" in "soldering" and "colour" and "labour" have more of a long "e" sound than the American "ore". And why is it you buggers can't pronounce a short "o", as in "drop". It's not "drap", there is no "a" present. This is even more hilarious when you're trying a genuinely foreign language.
BSG season 1 is all I saw; It was was okay. SG1 is watchable in a soapy kind of way. Firefly sucked.
wot no "Andromeda"?
Sci-fi at its best - babes, spaceships and lots of fights involving both babes and spaceships. Its Nash Bridges in space!
Ok, so some of the episodes really lost it, but who needs plot with that formula?
Paris, cos there isn't a 7/9 icon.
There's actually close to 60 million in the UK now, then add on Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and as mentioned, India. More people, bigger geographical area and a lot more timezones. A win every way.
Oh, and how about ZED? The only excuse I can think of for the US pronunciation is the alphabet song, where the correct version doesn't rhyme.
Can we have a mushroom cloud icon? Ideal for unwinnable on-line wars.
Tricia Helfer
8k for this, life-size fully functional model, I will pay :P
If it doesn't make toast, its not a cylon
Re: Vultures? Cateagles? Nah. . . & Re: S:AAB
@ Robert Davis
QX, mate!
@ Chris McKinnon
Another SF show that Fox batted around the schedule and never promoted worth a damn... Great stuff, though.
What's with all the "replica" requests
Can I just have the real thing delivered? I'm sure I can provide a good home to Lucy Lawless....
Serenity and Firefly
Serenity was good, but will spoil Firefly for you if you watch it first.
Firefly was brilliant and is usually also available for cheap, as far as series collections go. You'll get more out of Serenity, too, if you've watched the series first.
BSG is worth watching, even if most of the political and logistics situations are contrived beyond belief.
@Jeffrey Nonken
>"And while we're splitting hairs, "merkin" is a pubic wig."
We know...
@Prop costs
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Star Trek Next Gen kicks ass and Buck Rogers is a classic but specicially speaking about films you cant beat 2001: A Space Odyssey, closely followed by the excellent Sci-fi horror Demon Seed.
And of course The Matrix figures in there too
@ MIke and the rest of you lot.
Labour and labor? are you kidding me?! You suggest the 'U' is silent, it isn't, it affects the accent of the 'a' and the whole pronunciation of the word. With proper pronunciation of the way you spell it, it would sound like 'La'-'Bor' not 'Lay'-'bore'
Yanks, just give it up, I know you pride yourselves in ego inflation more than actually getting things right, so it's hard for you to acknowledge the fact that you speak ENGLISH, so you have no grounding to even try and defend your bastardisation of our language.
But this will carry on for as long as your ignorance requires for you to call a game you pick-up and run with an elliptical object 'football'....

Expansion of the Upper Valley Medical Center physician office building was completed this week, adding 40,000-square-feet to UVMC's west side. Work on the $8 million building project was launched in summer 2012.
The three-story addition creates much-needed on-site physician practice space, an enhanced environment for the UVMC sleep lab and expanded space for clinical education activities and hospital information technology.
The new first and second floors of the expansion are similar to current physician office space and will be occupied by specialty physicians such as the UVMC general and orthopedic surgeons and other current and future practices.
"This space creates greater efficiencies for physicians who practice on-site at the hospital," said Tom Parker, UVMC president and CEO. "It provides valuable opportunities for us to recruit and retain highly qualified medical ractitioners in important medical specialties, which helps us to best serve our community."
The lower level of the new building space is home to the UVMC Sleep Lab, which is being relocated from another building on the UVMC campus.
"The new sleep lab space will provide a degree of privacy and quiet which is valuable to the sleep study process," said Jim Hurak, UVMC Vice President. "It gave us the opportunity to fully design the space with the patient in mind, combining technology and the comforts of home for a quality sleep study to occur."
The lower level also houses hospital information technology, the education and training department and additional conference and education space.
Thanks to the generosity of the UVMC Foundation, the new space will include a new state-of-the art patient simulation program area for enhanced clinical education and training.
"Patient simulation provides unique opportunities that challenge caregivers to critically think and process information in a setting closely resembling the real patient scenario," said Jean Heath, UVMC director of cancer care, wellness and education. "Improved learning and the ability to then apply the information in the patient care area results in better patient outcomes," she noted.
Also on the UVMC campus, demolition began last week on portions of the former Dettmer Hospital building. The area undergoing demolition is located on the south end of the Dettmer structure and includes portions deemed too outdated for further use.
Construction of the original Dettmer Hospital began over 60 years ago, with nine major expansions and renovations added through 1991. Acute care hospital services were discontinued in the 1980s, and the building had been used primarily for non-acute care services and office space in subsequent years.
UVMC Pastoral Care, Lifeline Services, EMS Education and Project Search will continue to be located in the remaining north portion of the Dettmer building. The area being cleared on the south will be planted with grass and, with existing trees, will offer a park like environment.

The leader of an environmental group pushing for greater public scrutiny of Enbridge Inc.'s plans to replace 60 miles of crude oil pipeline in northern Indiana says the company's proposal highlights the need for the state to improve its public process for vetting such projects.
Save the Dunes executive director Nicole Barker says the Michigan City-based group hopes to persuade other advocacy groups this fall to push for legislative changes next year to address those concerns. She says Indiana also needs more regulatory oversight of pipeline projects.
Enbridge is seeking permission from several agencies to replace 60 miles of pipeline installed in 1969.
Barker says the project raises questions following recent Enbridge oil pipeline spills, including a 2010 pipeline rupture in southwestern Michigan that released 843,000 gallons of crude oil.

South Street: The Neighborhood
by Lauren EvangelistaThe fact that South Street is heralded primarily as a tourist spot overshadows an important element of this region— its locality. What visitors often neglect is the residential quality of the area, dwarfed only by the mall complex at Pier 17 and the other major retailers that greet passersby at the Fulton and Pearl Street intersection. The neighborhood novelties were somewhat sacrificed once decline and redevelopment hit the area, primarily because of financial difficulties and competition with the neighboring Financial District. Urban historians and writers alike have made criticisms about the effects of the South Street redevelopment on the neighborhood; yet, local businesses thrive and residents perpetuate an unprecedented local aura for the South Street neighborhood, re-establishing its sense of place.
Criticisms Creep In
Establishments Long Past
A New Direction for a New Neighborhood
But Wait… Where is the Maritime Past?
historians have generally associated with South Street is a nautical
identity, relating directly to its past. Though that particular
identity is arguably lost due to the developments for the
restoration, a unique identity still thrives that marks South
Street's distinction from any urban or suburban familiarities. Just
as the South Street area as a whole rebranded and revamped itself,
so, too, did its neighborhood. The atmosphere evolved into something
that integrates local comfort and the bustle of commerce, peaceably
flowing with the rest of the cityscape.

Time-of-use (TOU) pricing might seem like the ultimate solution to ensure electric vehicle charging loads won't overburden the grid. But will TOU rates guide drivers' behavior when it's time to...
Earning on Conservation
An earnings-equivalence model helps utilities and regulators calculate appropriate returns for conservation investments.
associated with a $100 rate-based investment. Since the equivalent earnings are calculated for common equity only, the ratebase is multiplied by the weighted return on equity—5.24 percent. However, the utility must earn enough to pay the income taxes associated with the equity earnings to net 5.24 percent to the equity holder. Therefore, the before-tax weighted return on equity is used—8.85 percent.
The before-tax earnings results for the 12 years are then added to total $37. But these total returns must be discounted back to the present to calculate the total return amount anticipated from the $100 investment in current dollars. The discount rate used to move the dollars back through time is equal to the utility's weighted average cost of capital—8.23 percent. This number is sometimes referred to as the discount rate. Its value is equal to the opportunity cost of money for the utility's capital holders (see Table 3) .
In this example, the utility's common stockholders would expect to earn, in today's dollars, $26 per $100 invested, or 26 percent of the amount invested. This result is the earnings equivalency and is comparable to the rate (PER) in the energy-efficiency incentive mechanism.
This percentage applies to the net benefits of the energy-efficiency programs, not to the costs of those programs. Therefore, the utility has the incentive to get the most efficiency it can from the program budget.
Contract Effects
Some utilities rely on long-term power or natural gas contracts for all of their supply needs. When these contracts are present, a modified analysis might provide more desirable results. Specifically, the capital structure might change, because long-term energy contracts frequently are treated similarly to a long-term debt obligation when examining the financial risk of a utility. Generally accepted practices discount the amount of the energy contract to only a portion of its total value. A 20 to 30 percent discount is typical; for example, if the contract had a total value of $100, only $20 to $30 would be included in the capital structure (see Table 4) .
The contract payment is assumed to be $100 per year for 12 years. This payment is like an annual debt payment because it is a fixed financial commitment for the duration of the contract. The NPV of the 12-year contract is $745. The discount rate, as stated earlier, is the utility's weighted average cost of capital, or 8.23 percent. The NPV of the remaining contract payments is calculated for each year and summed together in place of taking the NPV of the whole stream of payments. This is necessary in case additional contracts are added during the 12-year period.
In this analysis, since no additional contracts are added, the result would be the same if one simply took the NPV of the whole stream of payments. The discount rate is equal to the cost of debt, or 5.75 percent, pursuant to the methodology from Standard & Poor's. The cost of debt is used as the discount rate because the contract is treated like debt for purposes of calculating the risk factor.

The lovely purple basil plant I picked up at the greenmarket this summer (and have been growing with mixed success on our balcony ever since) isn't loving our suddenly cold weather as much as I am, so I resolved to give it a serious haircut this weekend and use as much as I could at once. Typically that means a big salad with mozzarella and tomatoes, but I needed to use lots of basil--so I settled on a pesto instead. I cruised the Web for inspiration, hit up a few handy friends, and came up with a recipe that went something like this:
Fresh Pesto with Purple Basil
- 2 c purple basil leaves (purple basil isn't quite as sweet as the bright green stuff you usually see, but it's got a great, peppery flavor)
- 1/4 c pine nuts, toasted and cooled
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small shallot
- Zest and juice from half a lemon
- 1/2 c olive oil
- 1 c grated Romano
Rough-chop basil, pine nuts, garlic, and shallot; add to a tall mixing bowl with a small base, then combine with an immersion blender. (This could be done more easily in a food processor, but I, er, don't happen to have one. I hate cleaning them, and I love my stick blender dearly.) Add lemon juice and zest, olive oil, and Romano; buzz with blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve by tossing a spoonful or two of pesto with individual portions of fresh pasta (we made a pot of spaghetti), then topping with a bit of additional grated Romano. Store leftover pesto by placing in a small dish, covering with a bit of olive oil, and covering directly (as the Barefoot Contessa puts it, air is pesto's enemy!) with plastic wrap. Serves 4-6, depending on your crowd's enthusiasm for pesto.
This is a bright, herbal pesto which focuses on the basil and sharp cheese rather than the oil and nuts; I'm not a huge fan of oily sauces. Toasting the pine nuts made a huge difference, I think: It intensified their flavor without weighing the pesto down. If you prefer a more understated pesto, you could mellow out the flavors a bit and turn up the sauce's silkiness by adding another glug of olive oil or another handful of nuts. If you're looking to experiment even more, you can swap in arugula for some of the basil, use pistachios or walnuts instead of pine nuts, replace a bit of the olive oil with some of your pasta water...the possibilities, as they say, are endless. Me, I'm a simple diner: i'm adding a handful of red pepper flakes to last night's sauce and having it all over again. Happy cooking, and stay warm!

Skin and Soul Tattoo's gallery displays an explosion of artistic talent. First there are Brittney Nettles' gorgeous hibiscus flowers, with leaves that wind like vines up the rib cage. Chris Gilvarry also has his own distinct style that's dominated by grinning skulls sharp-toothed fish. Finally, there's AJ Lynn's perfectly aligned calligraphy and sketches of orchids in spring bloom.
Whether the medium is permanent ink or semipermanent henna, each piece of art offers a balance of technical skill and creativity to ensure its long-lasting beauty. Metal art also rounds out the parlor's service menu, with piercings to adorn an eyebrow, nose, navel, or wooden peg leg––just to name a few.
To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, ?She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration.?
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand?s iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.
After 10 years in the industry, husband-and-wife team Mark and Maren opened Hip-Hop Robot Tattoo as a clean and creative destination for getting inked. Peruse the artfully decorated interior while waiting to have a bicep turned into a canvas or a forehead into a marriage proposal. Each professionally trained artist collaborates with skin wearers to ensure they walk away with the perfect body design, artfully inked in black and gray ($100/hour) or vivid color ($120). The store's vibrant ambiance helps clients overcome tattoo block with a range of original ink drawings and vinyl art, in addition to a leather couch for relaxing while dreaming up a new design.
Today's Groupon makes your regular skin a many-chromed and showy skin of unparalleled pomp after you get $80 worth of tattoo services for $40 at Cicada Tattoo.

Rooster Down Tattoo Gallery's artists see possibilities wherever they look. Blank skin becomes a canvas for intricate tattoos—vibrant portraits that wrap around arms, backs, and antlers. So when it came time for Rooster's team of artists to purchase a business, they took a similar approach and looked for another blank canvas. After much searching, the artists found their perfect location—a vintage home more than 100 years old.
With two stories, the classic house makes visitors feel more like guests than customers. Upon entering, the staff invites patrons to lounge atop a waiting room's leather couches and watch a flat-screen TV, which hangs directly above a fireplace. The team then leads patrons into one of several private tattoo rooms. Here, Rooster's resident and visiting artists—artists like Graydon Payne and Melissa Senesac—get to work away from any distractions, such as a right-bicep dragon tattoo coming to life and playing the left-bicep trombone tattoo. The artists' steady hands can emblazon bodies with vibrant custom artwork or, alternatively, use EliminInk tattoo-removal technology to restore skin to a blank slate.
Behind a storefront nestled amid Belltown's bleeding-edge galleries and Art Deco artifacts, a quiet revolution is brewing. The shop is Dzul Ink Lounge, and inside, tattoo artists and brothers Jacob and Alex Dzul are out to turn decades of preconceptions on their collective ear. Gone are the cheesy designs and abrasive alt-rock assaults that typify most tattoo parlors. Instead, visitors step into a lounge that has more in common with a contemporary art space, a quality that's also shared by the shop's vivid, customized tattoos. Whether they're getting their first tattoos or adding ink to an already impressive bodily canvas, clients can flip through an iPad filled with thousands of the shop's exclusive designs, or collaborate with one of the resident artists on designs that are as personal as they are precise.

By Evan Soltas

This is the first in a series of posts examining in detail the components of the so-called fiscal cliff.

The "fiscal cliff" was born more than a decade ago. President George W. Bush's first package of tax cuts in 2001 came with a sunset clause of 10 years. Follow-up legislation passed in 2003 was also scheduled to expire at the same time.

On Jan. 1, 2011, tax rates on income, capital gains, dividends and estates were to revert to those under President Bill Clinton. But in 2010, President Barack Obama extended the Bush tax cuts for two more years, pushing their expiration date to Jan. 1, 2013.

How big an effect would the tax cuts' expiration have in fiscal, economic, distributional, political and social terms?

The Bush Tax Cuts

Bush's 2001 law reduced marginal income-tax rates across the board. The top rate was scaled back from 39.6 percent to 35 percent. The 36 percent, 31 percent and 28 percent brackets fell by three percentage points. The 15 percent bracket on the lowest incomes was split into two to include a 10 percent bracket at the lower-income end.

It doubled the child tax credit from $500 to $1,000 and made it refundable -- that is, it would still count if it resulted in a negative income-tax liability. It also increased the dependent-care tax credit: One could deduct up to 35 percent of expenses to a maximum of $3,000 per child for no more than two children, compared with a previous limit of 30 percent of expenses up to $2,400 per child.

The law also eliminated the threshold incomes above which personal exemptions and itemized deductions are phased out, and sought to reduce the so-called marriage penalty in the income-tax code by making the size of the standard deduction for married couples double that for singles. And it changed the calculation of the earned income tax credit in a way that further lowered the marriage penalty.

The legislation also made significant changes to the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes. It scheduled gradual reductions of these maximum tax rates from 55 percent to 35 percent in 2010 and repealed the 5 percent surtax on estates larger than $10 million. Beyond this, it increased the minimum threshold needed for estate tax and generation-skipping tax eligibility from $700,000 in 2002 to $3.5 million in 2009, finally abolishing them entirely in 2010. It also raised the lifetime exemption on the gift tax to $1 million.

Bush's 2003 tax-cut package accelerated many of the original law's tax changes. It also eliminated the long-term capital-gains tax on individuals and couples in the two lowest marginal income brackets, and the 20 percent capital-gains tax bracket fell to 15 percent. And it eliminated the capital gains tax treatment for assets held longer than five years, folding it into the standard long-term rate, which is accessible at one year. Qualified dividends shifted from tax treatment as ordinary income into capital gains.

Fiscal Impact

Going over the fiscal cliff would result in the expiration of all the above changes to tax policy, with an immediate reversion to the income, estate, gift, generation-skipping transfer, capital-gains and dividend tax rates last seen under Clinton. This would mean a huge increase in tax revenue, $325 billion over the next two fiscal years, according to a Congressional Research Service report.

Some provisions, however, have put more of a dent in the budget than others. The 10 percent tax bracket for the lowest incomes alone will cost $80 billion over the next two years; the cuts to other income-tax rates are worth $95 billion. Smaller provisions include the child tax credit ($40 billion) and its refundability ($10 billion), the estate-tax cuts ($35 billion), the capital-gains and dividend tax cuts ($25 billion), the elimination of the personal exemption and itemized-deduction phase-outs ($20 billion), and the "marriage penalty" fixes ($10 billion).

Looking more closely at the cost of the income-tax provisions in 2013, the cuts to upper-income brackets are worth $52 billion, to middle-income brackets $84 billion, and to lower-income brackets $55 billion, according to an Economic Policy Institute study. Over the long term, allowing the 2001 tax cuts on upper-income-tax brackets to expire may increase revenue by $297 billion over the next five years and $824 billion over the next 10, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Economic Impact

If the Bush tax cuts are not extended, the economy would contract by $281 billion in 2013, Moody's Analytics Inc. Chief Economist Mark Zandi forecasts. That would mean a net 1.8 percent decrease in the level of gross domestic product.

These numbers suggest the U.S. would narrow its budget deficit considerably with a relatively limited short-term effect on the economy. That is because the fiscal multiplier on the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which measures the "bang for the buck" in economic output from net government spending, is low compared with the other forms of spending cuts and tax increases in the fiscal cliff.

The tax cuts on the top incomes would have substantially less impact on the economy than the tax policies that affect lower-income Americans. Allowing just the top-end cuts to expire would reduce GDP growth in 2013 by 0.1 percent and total employment by 200,000, according to the CBO. That represents $40 billion in lost economic activity, compared with the $174 billion provided by the cuts that benefit the middle class and the poor, according to Zandi. (Those policies include the earned income tax credit, the child and dependent care tax credit, the changes to the 10 percent and 15 percent marginal income-tax brackets.)

Distributional Impact

The Bush tax cuts were sharply regressive -- that is, people with high incomes benefited far more as a percentage of their income. The expiration of the cuts would be correspondingly progressive, with large increases in the tax burden on high-income and wealthy families and individuals.

If all the tax cuts were allowed to expire, after-tax income of the lowest income quintile will fall 0.5 percent, and the middle-income quintile's income will decline 2 percent. For the top-income quintile, however, after-tax income will fall by $7,119, or 4.1 percent. And the top 1 percent by income bears the brunt of the change, paying an extra 6.4 percent of income, or $70,746.

Political Impact

Allowing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire would be, in large part, a win for Democrats. The party's platform calls for reverting to the top two income-tax brackets under Clinton -- 36 percent and 39.6 percent -- while preserving the rate reductions for the lower brackets. Limits to personal exemptions and itemized deductions are another part of the Democratic plan, coming in at $200,000 in income for individuals and $250,000 for married couples. The top capital-gains tax rate would rise to 23.8 percent, due to an additional 3.8 percent levy in the Affordable Care Act.

Democrats, however, do not want to see it all go. They have voiced support for continuing the expanded child and dependent tax credits and the earned income tax credit. President Obama has proposed to let the estate tax revert to its 2009 level, with estates valued at more than $3.5 million subject to a top rate of 45 percent. (That would be more generous than a reversion to the Clinton-era estate tax.) He also pledged in 2008 to continue current tax treatment of married couples to avoid the return of the "penalty."

Republicans have far more at stake in this part of the fiscal cliff -- namely, the tax-cutting legacy of President Bush. They would like to preserve all of the income-tax cuts, and it is likely they would continue to favor the expanded child and dependent tax credits as well as the earned income tax credit and "marriage penalty" fixes. They also appear to support a continuation of low rates on capital gains, dividends, estates and gifts. The Republican Party may be more amenable to a return of the limits to personal exemptions and itemized deductions. This is far from certain, however: A bill by Representative Dave Camp, the current chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, would not return those limits.

Social Impact

No millionaires will end up in soup kitchens as a result of the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. But lower- and middle-income couples with children are at risk of a substantial increase in their tax burdens, given the cumulative effect of the earned income tax credit, "marriage penalty" fixes, and the child and dependent care credits. Though this risk is hardly comparable to some other parts of the fiscal cliff, it may present some social problems at the margin.

Disclosure on the Job
Questions Employers Might Ask at the Job Interview
Employers use job interviews to get a better sense of whether the applicant is a good fit for the job. The interview is also an opportunity to learn about the specific job responsibilities, the employer, and the work climate. It is an opportunity for you to determine if the position is right for you. It is also a chance to determine what challenges you might face because of your learning disability at this potential place of employment.
Your Job Search: Filling Out a Job Application
Many employers will ask you to complete a job application. Your application gives the employer important information about you, including your contact details (address, telephone number, email address, etc.), education, skills, and job history. Sometimes you'll fill out the application online and then submit it online. Other times, especially for smaller companies, you'll print the application, fill it out in black or blue pen, and then mail or fax it to the employer. You may also visit a business and fill out an application there. However, it's reasonable to ask if you can take an application home to complete and return later. That allows you to take your time and check your work.
Resource List for Adults with LD in the Workplace
Looking for more information? Check out our "Adults with LD" section on LD.org, in addition to videos and podcasts on all aspects of learning disabilities.
Here are some more resources to help find – and find success in – a job you love.
The Effective Job Search
To identify jobs that use your skills and abilities, try the following:
- Check the Occupational Outlook Handbook. This guide allows you to explore information about many different careers.
- Read the "Help Wanted" ads in newspapers to find jobs that might tap your strengths and skills.
- Talk with people in the workforce who have interests and strengths similar to yours. Ask them about their jobs. You might even be able to spend a few hours "shadowing," or following them at work. This will give you a good sense of what their jobs are like.
- Volunteer to work in a job area that interests you. This might be a good way to find out more about a specific occupation firsthand and determine if it is right for you.
Practice Questions for Your Job Interview
A job interview can be a stressful event. There are, however, ways that you can prepare yourself for the experience.
Preparing for a Job Interview
If you have been called for a job interview, congratulations! Your resume, letter, or phone call has gotten the employer interested in you. Your interview will allow the employer to get a better sense of whether you're a good fit for the job. The interview is also your opportunity to learn about the job responsibilities and expectations, get a sense of how it might be to work for this employer, and discuss ways you could be a valuable employee. From the interview, you'll determine if the job is right for you. You're also likely to better understand how your learning disability might or might not present challenges in this job and workplace.
Understanding Your Strengths for Success in the Workplace
Understanding Your Strengths
The ideal job allows you to tap your areas of strength on a regular basis. Knowing what you do best (and how you can circumvent the challenges of LD) can help you to succeed in the workplace.

Become a Host Organization
Application ProcessTo host an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow, please submit the following documents to the Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellowship by March 1, 2014.
- Letter of Inquiry (LOI) (form with contact info and essay questions)
- Proposed work plan for the first 15 months of the Fellowship
- Proof of 501(c)(3) status or Tribal Designated Housing Entity
- List of real estate development projects completed in the past 5 years
Host and Fellow BenefitsMost organizations that apply to host to an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow understand the need for community engagement, sustainability and excellent design but lack the capacity to make these principles a reality. Being matched with a Rose Fellow gives the host a passionate, dedicated team member and in exchange, the host offers the Fellow on-the-ground experience with community development processes and financing.
An Enterprise Rose Fellow works for three years as part of the host's staff, assisting with development tasks from neighborhood and site planning to financing applications and public approvals. All Enterprise Rose Fellows hold a professional degree in architecture and most are either recently licensed or pursing licensure. Host organizations also benefit from the Enterprise Rose Fellowship network, by participating in fellowship gatherings, site visits and periodic conference calls with the Fellowship Director.
Enterprise partners with the host organization to fund the salary of the fellow and provides mentorship and training opportunities. The host organization supports the development of the fellow's career by providing the necessary assignments, work environment, supervision, and fringe benefits.
Host Criteria
- Organization must be a 501(c)(3) community development corporation (CDC), community housing development organization (CDHO), or Tribally-Designated Housing Entity.
- Organization must show a track record of successfully completing real estate projects that promote neighborhood and community development for the benefit of low-income families
- Organization must have a sufficient number of active projects to provide challenging assignments for the fellow.
- Host organizations must demonstrate a commitment to excellence in design, sustainable building principles, affordable housing, as well as meaningful community engagement in design and planning.
- The fellow's supervisor must be identified in the host's application and have the capacity and mentoring skills to provide effective training and supervision.
- A strong working relationship with local or regional Enterprise offices is desirable but not required.

Lauer has decided he will stick to the narrative established by the media and Democrat party:
ROVE: There were 110 Democrats who voted for the Iraq war resolution. 67 of those Democrats, including John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, on the floor of the Congress said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. So, he may be able to dismiss it in one snarky line, but I have, I have, I have the facts in here. . . . Look the intelligence was worldwide agreed that he had WMD. That he had ignored 14 resolutions following his surrender after Kuwait to account for his WMD. He had spent 12 years stiffing the international community. We now know because of two international reports by two international weapons inspectors, Kay and Doefler, that he was diverted tens of millions of dollars a year to Oil for, from the Oil for Food program to keep together the necessary dual-use-
LAUER: But agreement was not worldwide. Here's from, from Bob Woodward's book State of Denial. He writes in October of 2002, the top intelligence officer, Major General James "Spider" Marks, in charge of looking for WMD in Iraq looked at a list of 946 WMD sites and found quote, "He couldn't find with confidence there were any weapons of mass destruction or stockpiles at a single site."
ROVE: Well, that's one, but there were many intelligence…
LAUER: But you said it was worldwide. There was disagreement!
Emphasis mine.
Rove is right, but he is wasting his time trying to get anyone in the media to admit that they were complicit in the building of a false narrative established for political considerations. But what I think is interesting is how malleable Matt Lauer can be on the issue of "consensus." For close to a decade, he has accepted the notion that a "consensus" on "man-made global warming" has outweighed any and all differing opinions. Under no circumstances was credibility conferred upon questioners, even though "there was disagreement!", serious disagreement, with the narrative.*
But now, in the case of Rove, and Bush, and Iraq and WMD, suddenly, "consensus" doesn't mean much, because "there was disagreement!"
Hey, Matt, psssst! On AGW: "there was disagreement!" Real disagreement! Please tell Al Gore.
And while you're telling Al Gore that "there was disagreement!" please ask yourself if all that breastbeating you and your co-horts did re "not asking enough questions in the lead-up to the Iraq war" may not come back to haunt you, in hindsight, on the "manmade global warming crisis." And, ummm…on the Great Obama Hope & Change Presidency of Miracles, Signs and Wonders campaign hype, too.
The Media Double Standard continues: "Consensus" settles all doubt. "Consensus" trumps all questions, and reveals those who doubt to be morons. Except when suddenly it doesn't.
That is all.

INSTALANCHE! Thanks, Glenn!
