Indeed, it is time to celebrate the accomplishments of Community Health Interventions and Sickle Cell Agency, Inc.(CHISCA), the community, and our partners. We have successfully collaborated to provide the community with new and recurring quality services. It is time to reflect on the past, to contemplate the future. In the words of President Obama, "We have to acknowledge the progress we made, but understand that we still have a long way to go. That things are better, but still not good enough." That is why I am asking for your help. I am convinced that there is no limit to what we can accomplish when we work together and support one another with courage and purpose. There is no better time than now to grow in number and strength in order to reach our goal of improving the quality of life for communities in Carteret, Craven, Cumberland, Greene, Harnett, Hoke, Jones, Lenoir, Onslow, Pamlico, Robeson and Wayne Counties.
CHISCA is dedicated to providing care coordination, education and testing for people living with sickle cell disease and diabetes, HIV Testing, HIV/STD prevention education, and educational seminars. On-going medical technology has provided proven pain management strategies for sickle cell patients and increased the life expectancy and quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately, until medical research provides us with a cure, the services CHISCA provides are an integral component to the health and wellness of our communities. Therefore, educating the public is our major objective.
President Obama once said, "Like no other illness, AIDS tests our ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes-to empathize with the plight of our fellow man." We encourage you to step into the shoes of an individual living with Sickle Cell Disease or HIV/AIDS to recognize that these people are our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members. We cannot sit around and wait for change to come. We must take an active role in bringing about change.
I want to thank you for your interest in our organization's efforts. Obviously, there is still much to be done and we look forward to the future with confidence and optimism, knowing that in the spirit of cooperation, we will all play a role in improving the health and wellness of our communities and eliminating health disparities.

Today on Dear Santa! We bring you Tangled in Tinsel by my good friend, Stacy Eaton. I have this book, but I haven't read it yet. I know. I'm terrible! I'll get around to it soon. Anyway, here is an excerpt. Enjoy!
Ten minutes down the road, a siren caught my attention, and I saw the telltale red and blue lights flashing in my rearview mirror.
"Shit. How fast was I going?" I glanced at the speedometer. "Only sixty-five. What's the speed limit here?"
"I don't know," Brandy said as she glanced over her shoulder. "Maybe it's your neighbor."
"Crap, let's hope it's not." I slowed and pulled over to the shoulder, hoping he was only trying to get around me. No such luck as he stopped behind me. "Damn, I think it is him," I said as I stared harder into the mirror.
"That's good. I'm sure you can get out of this then," Brandy said as she put mascara on. "Actually, I'm glad you got pulled over, now I can put my mascara on without getting it all over the place."
"Figures you would find something good in me being pulled over by the police," I retorted as I dug through my purse for my wallet. A tap on my window brought my head up fast, and I lowered the window as I glanced up.
Lord, have mercy on my soul! This man was incredible looking. His short hair was light brown and parted on the side. His blue eyes were striking as they stared down at me.
"Morning, ma'am. I'm Officer Wagner of the Celebration Police Department. Do you happen to know how fast you were going?"
I opened my mouth to speak and found words escaped me as I watched his lips to see if they would continue to move. He had the most incredible lips I had ever seen, and I wondered how they would feel.
He tipped his head to the side and studied me. "Ma'am, are you alright?"
"Casey," I stuttered out.
"Excuse me?"
"My name is Casey, not ma'am."
Brandy snickered beside me, and I almost elbowed her.
A smirk raised one side of his mouth and displayed the cutest damned dimple I had ever seen. "Okay, Casey, do you know how fast you were going?"
"Um," I cleared my throat. Did I tell the truth? Of course I tell the truth! Jesus, I knew what happened with the police when you didn't. "Sorry, I was going about sixty-five, but I don't know what the speed limit is."
"Actually, you were going sixty-nine when you were clocked, and the speed limit is thirty-five."
I cringed, "I'm so sorry. We woke up late, and I'm rushing my friend to the airport. She has a flight out at eleven. I honestly didn't know the speed limit."
"Well, Casey, now you do, and I hope that in the future you will obey it." He grinned down at me and held out his hand. "I'm Thad, by the way, I believe we're neighbors."
I looked at his long elegant fingers as they came my way. Why was my heart beating like it was trying to get out of my chest? I placed my hand into his and we both stared at one another. "Casey," I said again lamely.
"It's nice to meet you, Casey. Do me a favor and slow down. Get your friend to the airport safely."
"Yes, sir," I stated automatically while I realized I was still holding his hand. I yanked mine back, embarrassed at my reaction to him.
He laughed a deep laugh and put a smile on his face that made his eyes seem brighter than they had been just moments before. "I'm letting you off with a warning today, not because you are my neighbor, but because you did me a favor last night. Thank you for dropping the food off at home for me."
"You're welcome, and thank you for not giving me a ticket. I promise I'll pay better attention."
"Drive safely, Casey," he leaned down and peered past me to Brandy, "and have a safe flight." Thad's subtle cologne reached my nose with his movement. Thank god I was seated, or my knees might have buckled.
"Thank you," Brandy replied.
Thad stared at me for another moment before he stood up, "I'll see you around, Casey. It was nice meeting you, and welcome to Celebration."
"Thank you." My voice came out huskier than it should have, and I cleared my throat as he walked away. I used the side mirror to watch him; his back was as nice as his front. When he reached his driver's-side door, he turned and our gazes locked in the reflection. He winked and climbed into his truck.
"Talk about a hottie," Brandy said as she fanned her face. I put the window up and checked my mirror again to make sure it was safe to get back onto the road.
I'd learned two things just then: One, Officer Thad Wagner was an extreme hottie; second, he was also a very dangerous man, if only to my starving hormones.
About the Book
Welcome to Celebration Township.
Casey Lowe is new in town and hiding from her past. Her next-door neighbor, Thad Wagner, is a sexy police officer, who is good with his hands, and his lips, but Casey refuses to get involved with a married man, and Thad can't seem to understand why she keeps pushing him away. No matter how they try to stay apart, something keeps drawing them together. When an unexpected visitor shows up at Casey's house the week before Christmas, her future is on the line. Will Thad figure it out in time to save her, or will Casey become a conspirator to a murderer?
Tangled in Tinsel is the first book in the thirteen-story novella series that takes place in quaint Celebration Township, Pennsylvania. The rest of the series will begin to release in the fall of 2016.

In the distance
you are carved from the trees,
enbranched and tangled
by the moments that encamp
in the siege of thoughts.
On the trunk
we initial the covenant
Time holds you,
heroine in enchanted chains,
as I last saw you
in the decade of minutes ago.
You are a changeling
a day-night dreaming
on the threshold of touch
but my hands are gloved.
You cast no shadow in the mirror
but your reflection gilds

Logan Movie Review
Logan is a nice homage to fans of the Jackman Wolverine, a franchise which has been with us for more than a decade. It is also different enough from the regular X Men movies that one should approach it with an open mind.
It's a dystopian world that Logan now lives in, no shiny suits, his body is finally wearing down from age, and shows the signs of aging, wounds heal much slower and he just feels like an old man. Something that perhaps some of us and also fans who began following his movies can relate to.
He protects Prof X, and in the midst of his rather pathetic and miserable existence, a new mutant pops up, and it's not just any mutant, but one with the same powers he has, and is, (spoiler alert) - his daughter.
So they take a road trip together and look for a place called Eden, and through the trip, they need to be one step ahead of some bad people who want them dead, her captured and they also have to bond, with Prof X as the grandfather figure.
It's a lot darker, grittier, with a lot more swearing - can't believe the smut that comes out of Prof X mouth.. all this is meant to show that it's no normal X Men episode, and yet, there's a bit of Road Trip meet Father Bonding meets Midnight Run.
None of the it is unique in itself, but having a undertone of X Men in such a setting makes it special and Hugh Jackman gets to spread his acting chops, alongside more esteemed thespians like Patrick Stewart, and the new girl Dafne Keen is neither overawed or out of her league in this present company. She grimaces, cries and glares her way into our hearts and can hold her head high that she added a much needed extra dimension to the show. Dafne Keen is a potential shoo in for an Oscar, she adds depth, and you see a little Dakota Fanning in her. Thin and frail looking, she is a lion inside and when push comes to shove, she shoves back hard, and I can see good things in her future acting career.
You get nice vignettes from other classics, such as Johnny Cash songs, a cowboy movie Shane, and in the midst of this, yes you still get action and some humor. Not in the usual over the top style you may see in the typical superhero movie, and action fans may find it a little slow, with nary an explosion or blood letting for much of the middle chapter of the show.
Instead it's more of a slow burner, with the character development and the relationship between the three taking centre stage, alongside the displays of angst and hints of the demons within the two male leads.
The end is a tribute to Shane, to Hugh, and lays to rest a certain franchise with grace, dignity and the respect accorded to a superhero who has slashed, gnarled and healed his way into our hearts for almost 17 years.
Farewell Hugh Logan.

|Photography: Kat Teustch,
In the Lab at Studio Marcus Hay, Inc, we continue to explore the value of materials in a images created by Studio Marcus Hay and how this combination of chosen materials helps create the mood and feel of the image created. Almost dissected we have pulled out the key materials from one of our favorite Studio Marcus Hay images. This image shot by Photographer Kat Teutsch is from one of our New York Stories series and best reflects a clever use of materials such as patinaed/ distressed wood, burled wood, powder coated metal and hand painted ceramic glaze. We will continue this series in the future so look out for them. It really is a fun way to look at the different uses of materials and the world they can create.

I recently applied to have my art shown in numerous locations. I applied to a well known online art gallery, an online curated arts and design website, and a physical gallery in Kansas. Well guess how many said yes? None. Yep that's right out of the three all three denied me. I wont lie and say that I wasn't hurt because I was. And for a brief moment I started questioning my art and the path that I am taking. However, after thinking about it for awhile, I am more motivated to do art and I realize that art makes me happy and I really do want to continue creating. Art makes me happy and gives me so much joy. I believe in myself and I think that my art is pretty nice. It's not for everyone but there are people out there that will like it. We all have different opinions and that is ok. There are so many different types of art out there, so if you get rejected form an art gallery or boutique or online store don't give up. Keep trying and remember to try to reach your audience....the people that will appreciate your art because we all have different taste and that is perfectly ok.

Well, a couple of weeks ago I had the great pleasure to finally meet my friend Sam from the USA. We know each other from the Internet … sharing the same passion for landscape photography. And finally after such a long time he could visit me in my country Switzerland. Wow! That was so exciting and cool :-) It was clear that I showed him our forests in front of our home, the amazing Rheinfall (bad having too much tourists and bad light) and of course a wonderful and enchanting small forest but with some outstanding waterfalls as you can see in my image.
Sam, my dog Giorgio and I arrived at this place in the afternoon. But since the weather was bad anyway, the location was perfect to make some shots in the forest. He he he … I remember that I said to Sam: "Hey Sam … be careful because the ground is very very slippery!". If only I had not opened my mouth!!! My next words were: "Woahhhhhh!!!!". Next I saw the world from a completely different perspective … and by the way … the moss-covered stones are very nice from below he he he. But fortunately my little baby (my cam) was safe!
Thanks Sam for the wonderful time and I hope we can repeat this :-)

Maui Analysis of Upper Atmospheric Injections (MAUI) - 06.28.17
Maui Analysis of Upper Atmospheric Injections (MAUI) observes the Space Shuttle engine exhaust plumes from the Maui Space Surveillance Site in Hawaii. The observations occur when the Space Shuttle fires its engines at night or twilight. A telescope and all-sky imagers take images and data while the Space Shuttle flies over the Maui site. The images are analyzed to better understand the interaction between the spacecraft plume and the upper atmosphere of Earth. Science Results for Everyone
It's exhausting work, literally. When the Space Shuttle fires its engines at twilight or night, the Maui Space Surveillance Site in Hawaii watches the exhaust. Researchers analyze images and data taken by a telescope and all-sky imagers in order to better understand interaction between the spacecraft's exhaust plume and Earth's upper atmosphere. For this investigation, the Space Shuttle executed 12 engine firings during nighttime flights over Hawaii. Images of the plume will validate models of the properties of Shuttle engine exhaust, and will be used to develop computer models for plume contamination assessment.

Expeditions Assigned
Previous Missions
MAUI will be operated on Space Shuttle missions 17A and 2JA during Expedition 19/20.
Experiment Description
Research Overview
- Twelve specified Space Shuttle engine firings will be conducted by the crew during nighttime over flights of Hawaii during several Space Shuttle missions.
- The Maui Space Surveillance Site (MSSS) telescope system will track and observe the engine firings.
- The plume imagery will serve to validate models of the properties of Space Shuttle engine exhaust plumes.
Maui Analysis of Upper Atmospheric Injections (MAUI) observes the Space Shuttle engine exhaust plumes from the Maui Space Surveillance Site (MSSS) in Hawaii. Observations occur when the Shuttle fires its engines at night or twilight when passing over the MSSS. Spectrally filtered images and spectra of the radiation resulting from exhaust-atmosphere interactions are taken by the optical telescope and all-sky imagers. The data should determine the chemical and physical mechanisms associated with the interaction between the chemical species in engine exhaust and the space environment. The improved models of this interaction will result in enhanced space event characterization as well as the determination of sensor requirements for effective plume and contamination analysis of other spacecraft.
Space Applications
Results can be used to develop a spacecraft interactions computer model for plume contamination assessment and to better understand the interaction between the spacecraft plume and the upper atmosphere.
Earth Applications
Results will help in the interpretation of spacecraft plumes when they are observed from Earth.
Operational Requirements and Protocols
Space Shuttle will have to be in the field of view while over the Maui Space Surveillance Site (MSSS), Hawaii, during night or twilight conditions. This experiment requires the Space Shuttle to complete three types of engine burns or maneuvers: a vernier reaction control system (VRCS) maneuver, primary reaction control system (PRCS) burns at various angles of attack, and retrograde orbital maneuvering system (OMS) burns. In order to achieve the minimum number of 12 burns it will take multiple Shuttle missions to complete this experiment. It is planned for the following Space Shuttle flights to ISS 12A (STS-115), 12A.1 (STS-116), 13A (STS-117), 13A.1 (STS-118), 15A (STS-119), 10A (STS-120), ULF1.1 (STS-121), 1E (STS-122), 1J/A (STS-123), 1J (STS-124).
The Space Shuttle will fire its engines while orbiting over the Maui Space Surveillance Site (MSSS), Hawaii. The telescope and all-sky imagers will take images and data while the Shuttle flies over the site. The images will be analyzed to better understand the interaction between the spacecraft plume and the upper atmosphere.

In years past, Apple offered an iPod as the promotional item of value, which is less practical for educational purposes than the plethora of iOS and OS X applications available for purchase with the $100 credit.
Apple probably chose the $100 credit because it not only helps promote the App Store but also saves the company money. Unlike with the iPod giveaway, the company will recuperate at least 30 percent of any purchase made using the credit — more if the purchase happens to be an Apple application like Pages or iWork.
However, this year Microsoft is running its own back-to-school promotion that is arguably a better deal for students (although maybe not such a plus for their study habits). As we reported in May, the company is offering an Xbox 360 with 4 gigabytes of storage (a $199 value) to any student who purchases a Windows 7 computer for $699 or more.
For $700, it's not difficult to find a Windows machine that matches or beats the specs of Apple's least expensive computer, which start at $899. And while Apple's education store does knock off $100 from the regular price, it's still the more expensive option.
It will be interesting to see if Microsoft's promotion digs into Apple's back-to-school Mac sales through the beginning of September when both promos end.

As accident and emergency departments concentrate on driving down waiting
times, the Healthcare Commission has warned hospital trusts to monitor
variations in the quality of care. The Commission surveyed 200 departments
and found that some patients are not receiving the standard of care that A&E
consultants recommend.
Some children and older people do not receive pain relief for fractures
promptly enough. Just over half of children in moderate or severe pain as a
result of a fractured elbow or wrist received analgesia within an hour of
arrival. For older patients with hip fractures only 42% received relief with
the hour. There were also failures with patients who had taken an overdose
of paracetamol. Some departments did not allow four hours after the overdose
before taking a blood test.
The Commission gave the departments surveyed the option of re-auditing
services in March 2005. For the 47 departments that resubmitted data the
average percentage of children with wrist and elbow fractures receiving pain
relief within 60 minutes increased from 60% to 70%. The equivalent figure
for recording pain relief scores increased from 10% to 42%.
The Commission also found that the great majority of patients are happy with
the overall standard of care. On average, 71% of patients rated their
overall standard of care as excellent or very good. But this varied between
trusts from 85% of patients to 39%. Data to be published this week will show
that since March 2005, 98% of patients are being treated within four hours.
Patients are increasingly taking advantage of minor injuries units and
walk-in centres for basic emergency treatment. These now handle more than
20% of all emergency attendances.7

Worst Birthday Present Ever
So it has come to my attention that today is Hobbit Day. Shamefully I haven't even finished reading The Hobbit. My eyes just glaze over whenever they come into contact with the text. So I promised myself that I would continue reading the thing today...but I just ended up ranting into a camera about the One Ring. Good times.

LOL! Keri, that was awesome! I have to agree, I had a hard time with The Hobbit. It took me forever to finish it. The Lord of the Rings was waaay better.

I am so behind with posting that I nearly forgot to show my exchange from Michelle on Exchange Heaven. This months theme is a scissor fob and Michelle made me this and sent me a little pair of scissors to go with it. Thank you Michelle, I love it.
I am still in the process of finishing mine, it won't take long but I'm making the most of the sun while it shines this weekend.
Tony has a week off work which means that he'll either be taking things apart or building something, why can't he want to go on holiday like anyone else. I enjoy these weeks together though, as with him working permanent night shift I don't always see a lot of him. All that will change when he goes back after his week off as, after working the night shift for over thirtyfive years, he's had to go on afternoons due to cut backs. I've still not worked out when we're going to eat as we've always had an evening meal before he went off to work. I'm sure we'll fit it in somewhere.....

I fell in love at first sight, did you here my sigh? Especially as it was just Mother's day. He so reminds me of my only child, Doyle. Thrilled to spend time with him on sunday,at twenty five to it is challenging to get his time.
He was that little boy all through school carrying ALL his school books and his violin. An adorable book worm, just short of wearing pocket protector.

I've given dozens of public education talks to schools and community groups in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania. In 2014, I was awarded the "Marine Science Educator of the Year" award for my efforts, which included speaking to more than 500 students about shark conservation.
I have been a writer for Southern Fried Science (as "WhySharksMatter"), one of the most widely read ocean science blogs on the internet, since 2009. In that time, I've published hundreds of posts about marine conservation policy, sharks, and many more topics. Some of my most widely read posts focus on the negative ecological consequences of dolphin-safe tuna, shark finning, climate change, marine biology in the early United States, marine protected areas, citizen science, and figures from scientific papers that look funny out of context.
I also created a series of 5-10 minute YouTube videos called "Shark Science Monday", in which I interview leaders from the shark science and conservation community. Blog readers are encouraged to ask questions after watching the video (as comments on the blog post), and the interview subjects respond to them.
My twitter account (@WhySharksMatter) has over 22,000 followers from around the world, and I use it to share news about shark science and conservation, as well as to answer questions that my followers have about these subjects
I've given public talks to schools, community centers and science museums all over the country.

Big Brother says "open thy wallet" 30 Jul 2008 @ 22:41Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : I'm callin' SHENANIGINS, Politics , comments closed
As if San Fran Nan Piglosi and Harry "What illegal real estate deals?" Greedyfingers are needing to cover their arses and make sure any other clueless fark that can't add 2+2 to figure out that they have more mortgage than income by passing the "Foreclosure Protection Act of 2008", which of course the President has signed. Not the real relief we need, because this as the MarketWatch article states:
$300 billion in additional loan guarantees for the Federal Housing Administration, offer a temporary tax credit for first-time home buyers, and give money to local governments to buy foreclosed properties before they can blight the neighborhood.
Lovely, another $300 billion we all are going to have to pay for.
But buried in the fine print of this bill is this.
A slightly clearer explanation is here.
What this all comes down to is this. Big Brother, in the guise of the benevolent IRS, will be allowed to see ALL credit AND debit card transactions that occur. The author of all this invasion of our wallets? None other than San Fran Nan Piglosi. Can you say "DON'T WANT"? Yes, I knew you could.
Two things immediately come to mind. The first is Revelations 13:17 (I'll leave the choice of translations to you). The second, time to get rid of any sort of plastic payment method and go to a strictly cash-only household. Until they start putting RFID transmitters in our paper money, or the first possibility occurs (see above).
Most transparent Congress in history, Piglosi you need to have you vision and intelligence checked cause you have no CLUE what that means.
More sewage from the Gorebecil 30 Jul 2008 @ 09:35Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Enviroweenies, I'm callin' SHENANIGINS , comments closed
Most of you probably saw or heard about the ranting, which we all promptly flushed down the crapper. Because we all know that's exactly what the rant is — crap. Well ReasonOnline has a piece up on what the Gorebecil really meant by the fact that the U.S. must go "green" within 10 years.
Here's a sample of the real "green":
According to the Energy Information Administration, the existing capacity of U.S. coal, gas, and oil generating plants totals around 850,000 megawatts. So how much would it cost to replace those facilities with solar electric power?
Let's use the recent announcement of a 280-megawatt thermal solar power plant in Arizona for $1 billion as the starting point for an admittedly rough calculation. Combined with a molten salt heat storage systems, solar thermal might be able to provide base load power.
Crunching the numbers (850,000 megawatts/280 megawatts x $1 billion) produces a total capital cost of just over $3 trillion over the next ten years.
Yes folks, that's "Trillion" with a capital "T". As if the current budget deficit isn't enough, the Gorebecil in all his Gaia-enthralled intelligence just forgot to mention the cost. How quaint.
Apparently since the Gorebcil can afford to spend $16,533 a month of "green" power at his house (if you call it a "house" when it's big enough to make Jed and Granny Clampett jealous), then he has zero problems with his conscience telling US FOLKS IN FLYOVER COUNTY that we HAVE to go 100% green on electricity production within 10 years.
Just who the fark does this pie-stuffed fatso think he really is??? Yo Al, in case you haven't noticed YOU are getting as fat as the electric bills your fat arse is generating in that house of yours.
If you're so damned pissy about getting the U.S. on green electricity in 10 years, how about coughing up some significant levels of "green" CASH for the project?
What's that? You only tell us what the fark we need to do, it's not your place to fund your ideas (brain-dead as they are)??
Here's a thought Gorebecil. Why don't you, Breck Boy, and Hitlary all go investigate the lack of "green" electricity, love children, and universal health care in HELL. Be sure to take some sunblock, I hear the ozone hole is pretty big there. The people there are just screaming for a visit from a group like that!!!
H.R. 6615: Who knew… 29 Jul 2008 @ 18:50Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Politics , comments closed
… that a Congresskritter actually has a sense of humor. You can see the whole bill here.
But when it starts like this:
To provide for the transport of the enemy combatants detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Washington, D.C., where the United States Supreme Court will be able to more effectively micromanage the detainees by holding them on the Supreme Court grounds, and for other purposes.
So is this humor, a pork spending bill, or just a frivolous piece of legislation?
… meanwhile, in the Southern Command HQ 27 Jul 2008 @ 17:06Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Life in the Southern Command HQ , comments closed
Capt. Carter (Base Weapons Officer): General, long-range sensors are tracking an inbound object. Identification computers indicate it is the reconnaissance droid we sent towards the Pegasus some time ago to infiltrate the Shelliak ships attempting to circle the Pegasus.
SG Rayegun: Captain, have the targeting computers on the rail guns been calibrated for long-range objects?
Carter: Sir, they've been cleared for short-range operation but we've only gotten them to 99.999% on long-range objects.
SG Rayegun: Then I suggest you get them fine tuned that last 0.001% on that recon droid. You have my leave to fire at will Captain.
Carter: Yes sir! Targeting droid with battery #1. Target locked.
{Carter speaks over the base intercom} Prepare for rail gun battery #1 firing.
Firing NOW!!
Carter: Sir, droid has been obliterated. Rail gun targeting is now at 100% accuracy.
SG Rayegun: Thank you Captain, you may cancel the Alert status.
Carter: Yes sir!
Well, with that little problem out of the way the Southern Command stands ready to do the same to any other "targets" that enter our surveillance range. Just as Spats has mentioned, I have for many years now ran the Area5Xp blog and for some…you should remember me from the BBS glory days.
Look for new posts from myself RSN (that's "Real Soon Now" for those of you in Rio Linda).

There are a number of lists of the 110 livery companies of the City of London:
Livery Companies Database - with contact details and masters' biographies
List of Livery Companies by precedence
LiveryCompanies.com - an alternative to the above, but with some additions (see below)
Interactive map of livery halls
Livery Halls - by dining capacity
London Footprints - brief historical and architectural descriptions of each livery hall
Mottos of all the livery companies
Common confusions twixt hall names and their livery companies
The first named above, the official Livery Companies Database, is updated by the individual Company Clerks, and shows their masters, wardens, and contact details, and following the relaunch in October 2015, much else besides, including Google maps links to halls, pictures of the master's badge, and pdf's of masters with their photo.
The second site, created and maintained by a past master Tyler, and sponsored by The Cook & The Butler, shows broadly the same information, in a rather different format. The current edition of the Masters' Picture Book (edited by Piers Nicholson) can also be downloaded from this site (ditto for Consorts). This second site is NOT the responsibility of the Livery Committee.

Kotick: Lucas, not EA, will benefit from Star Wars MMO
"I don't really understand how the economics work for Electronic Arts," says Activision CEO
Outspoken Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has cast doubt of the profitability of rival publisher EA's MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.
"Lucas is going to be the principal beneficiary of the success of Star Wars," Kotick told the Reuters Media Summit.
"We've been in business with Lucas for a long time and the economics will always accrue to the benefit of Lucas, so I don't really understand how the economics work for Electronic Arts."
Bioware are developing the multiplayer title, with release scheduled for December 20.
"If you look at the history of the people investing in an MMO and achieving success, it's a small number," Kotick added.
He also addressed recent issues with the supply of Skylanders, the game that comes with toys, with American stores selling out last weekend.
Retailers across the board are concerned that they will be out of inventory well before Christmas," he explained.
"There's nothing we can do because they are made offshore and we can't get product made that quickly."
Activision has also found recent, if unsurprising, success with Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, grossing $775 million in just five days.

THE LITTLE BLACK JACKET, a project including a collector's worthy coffee-table book and exhibition around the world (next one in NYC, June 8-15th) showcases the iconic jacket reinterpreted by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld.
109 celebrities were photographed for the book by Karl himself. Impressed? I can't wait to see the book!
Ok, so now it's time for me to let you in on another secret of mine: for my son's wedding, I've already decided on a Chanel tweed suit. I'm not yet sure about the colour nor the style. I'm leaning towards a dress/jacket combo...in fuchsia pink? in violet? in canary yellow? Well, the good news is that I still have at least 25+ years to figure that out. And to save money!!!

Reward achievement:
At the point when a tyke accomplishes something, it is important to acclaim his diligent work. Uplifting comments upgrade certainty and expansion self-regard. On the other hand, be careful with feedback. It can demolish the delicate conscience of youngsters and play ruin with their psyches.

Monster Cookie Dough Cupcakes
My oldest son's birthday fell on a day that his cousins had a baseball game. I usually pack up a supper for my kids and definitely include some kind of yummy treat for the night. I told him that since it was his birthday he could pick whatever he wanted for the treat. He found these yummy cupcakes on my pinterest board and wanted to try them. These are not for the faint of heart... More calories than you want to know about! But oh so sweet and delicious... I knew that we would be at the game with A LOT of other people, so I made up a double batch and took them with. They double batch was gone before we got home! Super yummy and so sweet that you might want to share with a friend... or hog it to yourself because it is so delish!
Monster Cookie Dough Cupcakes

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour

In other words, Quick Cash is the business equivalent of a payday cash loan. Get same day cash loans online Www Cash Usa Network Com promo code .
Www Cash Usa Network Com , The organization has been around for several years and contains been featured on CNN, NBA TV, and TBS. It has an A+ rating using the Better Business Bureau or BBB.
How much money can you borrow? It is possible to borrow from as small as $4,000 to something as sizeable as $2 million.
The company serves a niche running a business the banks won't: Small enterprises which have less than stellar credit ratings. It does no matter what your company's credit standing is or if you even already have it, what is important is that you show to them which you have a company cellular phone number (it really is required when you complete the applying form). They actually do not need you to disclose your monthly income, that is a welcome relief for startups. Apart from the business telephone number, really the only other thing that they require is that you simply participate in the industries which they support.

However, if we need to go on a guess, we think how the rates of interest will not be way too high and they will not be reasonable. Really, any business which includes an A+ rating in the BBB has ethical business practices that actually help their customers.
So, when you are ready, go ahead and check out the company's official website and click on the application for the loan form that is connected to the sum you are borrowing. Be well prepared with information about how soon you want the money and just how long you may have experienced business. Www Cash Usa Network Com

[FREE APP] Dragon Ball Z: Transformation Guide
- Hi Everyone!
I'm new to these forums, but a long time Windows Phone advocate... Though I guess most of you guys must be as well, if you belong to a Windows Phone forum, haha.
Anyway, I wanted to get on here and spread the word a bit about an app I've been working on. I'm no professional developer. Heck I can hardly write actual code. I pretty much just stick with "Design View" in Blend and only occasionally venture into the unknown abyss that is "Code View."
Developing is just a hobby, though anytime a hobby can bring in money is definitely a plus. I'm a sophomore in college and a Psychology/Sociology major. Again, not much experience in non-hobby-based computing/developing. I also great enjoy the Dragon Ball series, as it's my favorite anime. My love of Dragon Ball, coupled with my love of Windows Phone is really why I chose to begin developing.
But that was just a little bit about me. Here's information about my app:
Dragon Ball Z: Transformation Guide is an informational app that delves into the many transformations that take place throughout the anime classic, Dragon Ball Z. It contains synopses, pictures, tables (listing who all have encountered such transformations as well as when (specific Manga Chapter and TV Episode/Movie).
The app is currently available in the Windows Phone Store for FREE. As soon as version 2.0 shows up in the Store, it will link to an Ad-Free version for $0.99. Aside from the ads, the free and paid versions are identical.

Laurie Paul says that when we become mothers, we are in the same situation as Mary leaving the black and white room, and seeing colour for the very first time. Becoming a parent is a "phenomenologically transformative experience" and therefore one for which rational decision-making procedures simply don't apply.
"The intensity and uniqueness of the extended act of carrying the child, the physicality of giving birth, the recognition of the new fact of the existence of one's very own child, and the exertion involved in caring for a newborn results in a dramatic change in one's physical, emotional and mental states."*
Choosing to have a child involves a leap of faith, not a carefully calibrated rational choice." As the saying goes, you get experience just after you need it."
There are parallels between what Paul says and what I claim in post 'Exiting the Cave' - there are emotions experienced by parents which cannot be experienced by non-parents. It's like switching on a new channel. Or discovering a whole unknown frigging satellite dish hiding up there on the roof. Paul is much more careful than me not to enrage non-parents by suggesting that the new states are definitely must-have.
One thing that is under-attended to in all this is just how radical it
is, given all this, to decide to have children, to take that leap of
faith. The baffling question is, how come so many people decide to have
children?! Is it just cultural inertia from back when we didn't have

He was born in Calais, Maine, on Sept. 5, 1923, the son of Miles and Josephine Frye. He graduated from the University of Maine and Boston University with a law degree in 1951, after a tour in the Army Air Corps during World War II, where he attained the rank of first lieutenant.
Mr. Frye then went to work for what is today Maine Revenue Services, where he was an assistant attorney general from 1951 to 1954. During his time there, he wrote portions of the Maine sales tax law, which is still in existence today. In 1954, he joined what became the Weeks, Hutchins, Frye, Welch and O'Donnell law firm, where he became a partner in 1958 and was still working part time, taking care of his clients until the age of 72, when he retired. His specialty was wills and deeds, and he was a member of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, as well as the Waterville, Kennebec, Maine and American Bar associations. The Maine Bar Association recognized his 50 years of service with an award at the Samoset Resort. His accomplishments included being a director of The Federal Trust (later Merrill Bank, then Fleet Bank). Mr. Frye was also a member of the Waterville Rotary Club. In his profession, he represented the Kennebec Sanitary Treatment District and was instrumental in helping with the development of the industrial park where the Elks Club and United Parcel Service have been established.
Mr. Frye is survived by his wife, Muriel P. Frye, whom he loved dearly. He was also father to daughter Rebecca Marin and spouse Harold Marin, and son Andrew Frye, and spouse Dr. Gladys Frye. He had three grandchildren, Stephanie Purnell and spouse Kevin Purnell, Andrea Frye and Reed Frye; and an anticipated great-grandchild, Brynn Purnell.
Mr. Frye had a passion for taking photographs of his family, as his greatest love was being around them. He became committee chairman of Boy Scouts Troop 436 when his son was a member, and followed his daughter from horse show to horse show when she was young.
He also enjoyed watching the Red Sox and Boston Bruins and rooting for his teams. In later years he and wife, Muriel, did some traveling and enjoyed their life together. He will be greatly missed by his family, as he was always there to lend a hand or give his support to all they did.
Funeral services will be at noon Friday, Nov. 2, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 60 Eustis Parkway, Waterville, Maine. Following the service, Mr. Frye will be interred at 2 p.m. at the Maine Veterans' Memorial Cemetery, 163 Mount Vernon Road, Augusta, Maine. All are invited to attend. Afterward, everyone is invited to a celebration-of-life gathering at the Augusta Elks Lodge 964, 397 Civic Center Drive, Augusta. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the

I love birds, I do, but not enough to just let them devour my herbs. I discovered the other day that the two rosemary cuttings I had just started cultivating were missing. The rooted rosemary plants were fine. The cuttings, I suppose, were easily plucked out from the soil.
And then I noticed our new dill plant starting to bald - is that the right term? - but the leaves were definitely much fewer, and then yesterday, a stalk was actually broken.
I'm going to roast the culprits if I ever catch them!
Relax - that's just an empty threat. I don't have it in me to hurt a bird.
Those birds are also the reason why we don't bother with sunflowers anymore. They finish up a bloom in just a couple of day, the little gluttons!
Before they make off with every herb in my garden, I need to take steps to thwart those sneaky thieves. Some of the recommendations I've found are:
- Making a tunnel of bird netting.
- Using cut soda plastic bottles.
- Putting up a scarecrow.
- Hanging or sticking shiny ornaments (CDs, mylar, etc.)
- Hanging wind chimes.
- Getting a cat.
I'll probably do the soda bottle and the wind chimes. It might also be fun to put a little scarecrow out there. I'll let you know soon how effective they are.
Do you think they'll leave the plants alone if I install a bird feeder? In any case, if you have any tips for stopping birds from eating up the garden, please comment below.

South Africa
Several parts of South Africa are deprived of basic public services like water or electricity, accentuating the discontent of the poor who feel that little progress has been made since the end of apartheid.
Wednesday for those many people will be like any other day, they say. This is when tens of thousands of citizens will be heading to polling stations to cast their votes for mayors and municipal councils.
"We have got a lot of problems here. First of all the youth are unemployed. And we are living in squatter camps. The government has been promising us houses for years and years, but to no avail. They always come when there is time to be voting, but then after votes nobody comes to us," said Ben Thobela, a Johannesburg resident
Tebogo Rontotsi, complained about the squalid conditions under which they live in, "we have a lot of rubbish laying around the area. It's dangerous for our kids. It's not healthy. And I wish for them to come and maybe spend some days with us. Look how we live."
Even though the ruling African National Congress has not fulfilled its promises, there's is still a cynicism to vote for other parties reigning in most households out fear for the unknown. The ANC gave birth to a democratic South Africa and so it will remain in power according to some.
"I will keep on voting ANC. I don't see the changes, but I keep on voting. Even this time what I want to see now is a better life. But Zuma is not making different," said Lucky Mahlaba
The latest ritualistic pre-election campaigns by parties came with promises that were made on days leading to the first ever elections.
Many do wonder whether voting makes a difference, or they have concluded that it does not.
