Medieval will-making has often been associated with efforts right before death. But estate planning activity at an earlier time was also possible and was pursued by the upper reaches of English society. Sir John Fastolf (1380-1459), a wealthy East Anglian knight, made substantial efforts to plan his estate. He made several wills and charters enfeoffing land to his use. But his efforts faced many obstacles and ultimately failed, resulting in a contest regarding the validity of his death-bed will.
This essay documents those estate planning activities. It does so by recounting a story of longstanding interest to medieval historians and other scholars. Using extensive primary sources, the essay, for the first time, explores completely and orderly all the relevant wills, charters, and other documents as well as the voluminous testimony in the will contest.
The full story shows that Fastolf's estate planning efforts were ultimately frustrated by deathbed changes, other claims on the property, the need for royal approval, political factors, conflicts among executors, and papal intervention. Nor is it clear whether they ever could have been successful or whether medieval estate planning could ever be secure.

How much of medieval estate planning involved tax issues? I may download Rose's article to find out.

No, tax issues were not involved, not that I expected they would. The article brought back unhappy memories of 1L (1951-2) with Real Property and the historical development of the law on property, trusts, estates and wills, referencing terms that had little to do with my law practice of 50+ years. The Will Contest proceedings were, however, of great interest, with so many documents and so many witnesses, some obviously telling lies, as well as the fact that church (Roman Catholic) courts were involved. There was even an appeal to the Vatican which applied the doctrine of cy pres, which has been in the legal news in recent years.
Modernization had somewhat simplified real property law here in America but over the course of my years of practice new slicing and dicing of real estate came about, including condominiums, easement takings for pipelines, securitization of mortgages and changes in registry recording systems, etc, to perhaps reintroduce complications. Do law students today suffer from the historical aspects of real property law?

The government lead from the smallest of the Scandinavian countries just might inspire its neighbours, too.
Scandinavian countries expect to one day provide vast quantities of electricity to domestic and neighbouring markets from offshore wind, but progress is slow.
Higher turbine costs and political inertia are to blame and the region is now lagging behind Britain when it comes to generating electricity at sea. Of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark has made the biggest inroads, with about 400 MW of offshore wind capacity installed off its coast so far, eclipsing the 133 MW off Sweden and just 2.3 MW from a prototype floating offshore turbine in Norwegian waters. Finland, which lags behind the others in onshore wind development, has no offshore capacity at all.
Offshore wind in Denmark has been treading water after completion of the 166 MW Rodsand offshore wind farm in 2003 while the government found its bearings at sea. But with the extension to Horns Rev, Denmark's first major offshore facility, coming online this year, and Rodsand II in construction, the market is through the doldrums and several further major projects are in the works. In Norway, the government has recently proposed a law laying out a market framework for future wind power development to replace the capital subsidies it has offered to date. "Offshore wind energy may become the next adventure for the Norwegian industry and energy sector," petroleum and energy minister Terje Riis-Johansen proclaims. For its part, Sweden shows signs of shedding some of its ambivalence towards offshore wind and is examining the legal route to allowing other countries to build offshore plant on its territory as a way to meet its own obligations under the EU renewables directive committing member countries to a 20% renewable energy target by 2020.
Krieger's Flak
The most-watched development in Scandinavian waters is the massive 1.8 GW project in the Krieger's Flak area of the Baltic Sea (page 10). The project site crosses borders into Denmark, Sweden and Germany. If constructed, it would entail the world's first maritime grid linking offshore wind farms with transmission connections between separate electricity markets. For this reason, the EU Commission is looking on it as a showcase for European co-operation. Transmission system operators in the three countries have completed a study on the project and the governments are now exploring further collaboration. Denmark's transmission system operator, Energinet.dk, has the green light to apply for European recovery funds for preparatory work on Krieger's Flak and the state-owned energy company behind the Swedish part of the project, Vattenfall, has permission to install turbines.
Many hurdles remain, though. Matthias Rapp of industry organisation Swedish Wind Energy (SWE) says Krieger's Flak is "completely uneconomical" under Sweden's current support system for wind. He says the government could theoretically provide funds to Vattenfall as research and development money, but he fears the public would view the needed injection as gross favouritism and "politically unacceptable." That bodes ill for cross-border partnership, warns Jan Hylleberg of the Danish wind industry association (DWIA). "If the Swedish government is not in favour of the Krieger's Flak project, I think it would be an entirely different type of project for Denmark."
Still, Denmark has plenty of other offshore ambitions. The association envisions wind power providing half of Denmark's electricity production in 2020, with offshore accounting for between 30-35% of total wind - edging toward the higher end of the range if required to make up for shortfalls in repowering of ageing onshore wind turbines. By 2025, the association wants about 8.5% of Denmark's gross energy consumption to be served by wind power, compared to between 3-4% today. Of all that wind, half would be offshore.
Since the late 1990s, though, the country has seen little market activity due to years of government lethargy when it comes to wind power development. Installed capacity has languished at just over 3 GW, after the most recent offshore project commissioned in 2003. But come December the government - which sponsors all big offshore projects - will be able to present a handful of new wind plant along with projects now in development, increasing the number of Danish offshore wind farms from six to 12 and more than tripling offshore installed capacity from about 400 MW to over 1.2 GW. The sudden spurt is driven by a desire to impress the world when thousands of delegates arrive in Copenhagen in early December for the UN's next big climate change summit.
Of offshore projects under way, two will be completed by the end of the year: Horns Rev II, a 209.3 MW development of Siemens turbines off the west coast of the Jutland peninsula in the Danish North Sea, scheduled to be fully commissioned in the autumn, and the 21 MW Sprogo project of Vestas turbines in the Great Belt separating the two halves of Denmark, to come online by December. Work is also progressing on a project of six turbines to be located four kilometres off the town of Frederikshavn on the east coast of northern Jutland, at one time a thriving shipbuilding and fishing port, but now an economically depressed area. Turbines are due online this year and next.
Horns Rev II will be followed by Rodsand II as the next major offshore project coming online in Danish waters. It is now being built in the Baltic Sea between the Danish island of Lolland and Germany. The 207 MW of Siemens 2.3 MW turbines are to be commissioned next year.
Next up in Denmark will be a 400 MW project near the island of Anholt in the Kattegat Sea between Denmark and Sweden, the largest offshore wind farm yet to be built in Denmark. It is to be fully operational before the end of 2012. The procedure for the selection of developers for the Anholt project reveals the extent of the government's new-found haste. Requests for proposals to build the project were issued in April and must be submitted by April 7, 2010. From that point the entire project must be online within less than three years. Geotechnical, environmental and shipping studies have already begun, with continuous publication of the results by Energinet.dk. In this way, bidders will have all the necessary information available before the April 7 deadline.
Energinet.dk is also providing the cable to shore for Anholt and the offshore transformer station. The industry is expecting higher fixed power prices for future projects than those agreed in the most recent government concessions for offshore wind - DKK 0.518/kWh (EUR 0.07/kWh) for Dong's Horns Rev II and DKK 0.629/kWh (EUR 0.084/kWh) for E.ON's Rodsand II, both fixed for 12 years.
In contrast to fellow offshore wind giant Britain, which delegates the nuts and bolts of projects to private companies early in the development process, the Danish government is increasing its oversight role. "In the new Anholt case the energy agency and Energinet.dk are doing a much bigger share of the preparation work than they had been doing earlier. For the first time they are running all of the analysis work needed to do the environment checks. Earlier, this was done by the entrepreneurs interested in putting up the turbines," says Hylleberg. Early indications are that the model results in speedier progress for projects, he says. "But it's still far too early to do the final evaluation."
In Sweden, Denmark's neighbour to the north-east, the country could build up to 1.8 GW of offshore wind capacity from projects already permitted or likely to be permitted if the right government support existed, says Rapp. This is nearly 40% of the energy forecast to be produced from wind power for 2020 and would meet about 4% of the country's electricity demand, he adds. By comparison, expected annual energy from Sweden's four existing offshore wind plant, plus the 30 MW Gasslingegrund plant planned for commissioning later this year, will total just under 500 GWh, or nearly 25% of Sweden's annual wind power output.
As it stands, Sweden suffers from too much of a good thing. SWE estimates potential onshore wind power capacity of at least 100 GW spread across a large land mass with no shortage of windy sites far from residents liable to oppose turbines in their backyards. With untapped generation supply far in excess of demand, there is greater rationale for building plant onshore, concedes Rapp. "That would be done at about half the cost of offshore," he says. "So I think the government is going to stand pretty firm on yes to wind, but no to offshore as long as we're just going to export the electricity at half the cost that it takes to build it."
Rapp adds, however, that the government is looking into how to get around the problem under the new EU renewables directive. By allowing other member countries to finance and build offshore wind farms on Swedish territory, the Swedish resource could be used for countries without such a good resource to meet their own clean energy targets.
An immediate hurdle is that from next year the only extra income available for wind power in Sweden beyond sale of the electricity is through sale of green certificates. The certificates are awarded for each megawatt hour of green electricity generated and electricity retailers must buy them to demonstrate they are supplying customers with a rising proportion of green power. Certificates currently trade at around EUR30/MWh. Until now, offshore wind farms have also received a CO2 tax rebate called an "environmental bonus," this year worth just over EUR10/MWh. But this is being phased out to comply with European legislation barring any one energy source from multiple forms of state aid. From January 1, it will disappear altogether. Hopes are high, however, that the Swedish government will announce stronger support measures at the European offshore wind conference in Stockholm, encouraging Vattenfall and others to proceed.
That does not mean the wind industry is seeking handouts. "We would like to see a system that is not a green certificate system offshore," says Rapp. "We are not in favour of, for example, two or three certificates for offshore - something similar to what has happened in the UK." An auction system would be preferable. "The lowest price can then win the beauty competition," he says. "We would like to keep downward pressure on offshore prices as well and we think it can be done in competitive bids."
Potential offshore wind developers in Sweden are moving several gigawatt of projects through the pipeline while they wait for a decent market framework. In January 2008, Vattenfall officially switched on Sweden's largest offshore wind farm, the 110 MW Lillgrund project seven kilometres off the coast of southern Sweden in the strait between it and Denmark. The Gasslingegrund wind station is under construction on lake Vanern in south-central Sweden with commissioning expected in September. All ten 3 MW turbines, supplied by Finnish turbine manufacturer WinWind, are in place. The 150 MW Skottarevet wind farm in the Kattegat waters, between south-west Sweden and Denmark, has fared less well. In March, a court barred developer Favonius from installing the planned 50 turbines, fearing their effect on the local cod population. Favonius appealed and Rapp expects a higher court to overrule the ban. A number of other projects are awaiting environmental impact statements or permits.
In terms of total installed wind power capacity, Norway ranks third behind its two Scandinavian neighbours, with 436 MW compared to 3.2 GW in Denmark and 1 GW in Sweden. Norway's only offshore capacity is the floating Hywind pilot wind turbine, moored about 12 kilometres off Karmoy, in south-eastern Norway. Its developers, Norwegian oil and gas company StatoilHydro and Siemens, which supplied the 2.3 MW turbine, bill it as the world's first large-scale floating turbine. Connection to the local electricity grid is expected in September.
Oyvind Isachsen of the Norwegian Wind Energy Association believes Hywind may one day prove a game-changing technology. "They are made for Japan and other areas where they don't have any shallow water - where you have depths of 150 metres," he says. Whatever technology is employed, with stronger policy support Isachsen believes Norway could generate up to 15-20 TWh a year from wind power by 2020 (requiring around 7 GW of capacity), with 90-95% coming from onshore plant and 5% from offshore. Like Sweden, Norway could also help EU neighbours meet 2020 renewables targets, he says, but it requires new cross-border grid connections to be built. "We should save Europe and get paid for it," he quips.
There are positive signals from government. It currently supports the offshore industry via twice-yearly invitations for proposals to build projects, with around half of a winning bidders' installation costs subsidised. A new wind law proposed in June seeks to establish a more solid framework for offshore wind that will also identify maritime areas suitable for development, pending environmental impact assessments. The proposed act also lays out regulations for applying for concessions, installation, operation and de-commissioning of offshore plant and electricity transmission.
Norwegian wind developer Vestavind Kraft, meanwhile, wants to build Norway's first large-scale offshore wind farm. In June, it bought the 350 MW Havsul I offshore wind project from fellow Norwegian developer Havgul. Planned off Sandoy municipality, in More and Romsdal county in western Norway, it follows Vestavind's 32.5% stake in the 400 MW Havsul II offshore project planned nearby - in which Havgul holds 50% and Tafjord Kraft 17.5% - as well as planned onshore projects. A permit for Havsul I from the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate was granted last year. Bird protection activists and citizens are appealing against the decision, opposing the project on visual grounds. But Havgul and Vestavind hope the region's high demand for electricity, partly to pump Norwegian gas to the UK, will sway the petroleum and energy ministry in Havsul I's favour when deciding on the appeal (Windpower Monthly, September 2009).
Like Norway, Finland is approaching offshore wind from a standing start. The government is currently targeting a total installed wind power capacity of just 2 GW by 2020, up from 144 MW today. Developer pipelines, however, indicate that as much as 5.9 GW of wind plant could be built offshore alone - project plans exist for around 4.6 GW, while a further 1.3 GW is still at the early feasibility assessment stage.
Under current policy, the government pays for about a third of construction costs. It is though studying a proposal for a guaranteed power purchase price of EUR83.5/MWh for wind. The difference between the market price of electricity and this target would be paid to wind power producers as a government mandated purchase price. The guarantee would be introduced in early 2010 and last 12 years. A decision on the pricing mechanism is expected at the end of the year and parliament will vote early next year, says Pekka Tervo of the ministry of employment and economy.
Anni Mikkonen of the Finnish Wind Power Association is cautiously optimistic. Many offshore wind projects, she says, have the advantage of backing by strong owners such as Suomen Merituuli, a 50% joint venture with regional power group Etela-Pohjanmaan Voima, energy company Pohjolan Voima's wind unit PVO-Innopower Oy and the Finnish arm of veteran German wind developer WPD. "What we are trying to achieve is some sort of higher support for offshore," she says. "We are in a waiting situation." The association is now co-operating with the government's working group to find the right solution.

If you follow National Advocates for Pregnant Women on Facebook and Twitter, you already know that Katha Pollitt has written an important article for The Nation magazine: Protect Pregnant Women: Free Bei Bei Shuai.
We hope you will read the article and take action: Please sign this Change.org petition demanding Ms. Shuai's freedom.
We are very pleased that this important story is being told by one of the country's leading journalists and told at this time. Today marks the one-year anniversary of Bei Bei Shuai's unprecedented and inhumane incarceration for having experienced such a profound sense of depression while pregnant that she attempted to kill herself.
Although she did everything she could to ensure that her baby survived, including undergoing cesarean surgery, her newborn died shortly after birth. Ms. Shuai was arrested, charged, and has been held without bail based on the claim that Indiana's murder statute (with the death penalty or a sentence of 45 years to life) and attempted feticide statute (with a sentence of up to 20 years) may be used to punish pregnant women who cannot guarantee a healthy birth outcome.
With help from friends like you, National Advocates for Pregnant Women is doing everything we can to help defend Bei Bei Shuai and other women just like her. Unfortunately, in spite of our efforts so far, a mid level appellate court in a 2-3 ruling refused to dismiss the charges against Ms. Shuai. This is so even though more than 80 leading medical, public health, and health advocacy organizations and experts joined amicus (friend of the court) briefs supporting Ms. Shuai. NAPW, with the Indiana firm of Pence Hensel LLP, is now seeking review in the Indiana Supreme Court. At the same time, we continue to hope that Indiana comes to its senses and simply drops the charges.
We hope that you will sign the Change.org petition and make it your mission to get thousands of other people to do so as well. In short, the petition says: Unless it is your intention to make clear that in Indiana the "Pro-Life" position is "Pro-Life-Sentences-For Pregnant-Women" position, we urge to you drop all charges and Free Bei Bei Shuai now.
Those who support abortion re-criminalization laws, fetal-murder laws, and so-called "personhood" measures claim that only abortion providers, and not pregnant women, will be arrested. Sign the petition and let them know the truth is finally coming out. We know how long women will serve: Life.
Updates regarding the case are posted regularly @FreeBeiBei Twitter feed. You can also learn more by following NAPW on Facebook and Twitter, and by checking out the Free Bei Bei Shuai Facebook page established by grassroots activists.

LAS VEGAS--Here at CES, we were able to sneak a quick demo of MindMeld, a unique voice and video-calling app developed by Google Ventures-funded Expect Labs. The app supports up to eight parties at once, and based on what I saw, I've got high hopes for it.
At first glance, MindMeld might seem like just another Skype clone, but the reality is that this voice-and-video caller offers a layer of functionality that I haven't yet seen in a communications app. What sets it apart is its ability to "listen" to your conversations and add streams of rich content based on what you're talking about. For instance, if you initialize the listening engine, and you and your friends start discussing, say, the Blue Man Group while video chatting, MindMeld will actually pull up a stream of related photos, videos, and articles. From there, you can swipe to the Discovery Panel to see it all. What's more, you can swipe one more time to get to a Sharing Panel, where you can drag related content for your entire party to focus on. The idea is to enrich your conversations with related information from around the Web.
In the demonstration I saw, the experience of swiping between panels and sharing content was seamless, and most of the content that populated the Discovery Panel seemed to be relevant to the conversation being had.
According to representatives from Expect Labs, MindMeld for iPad is slated for release sometime within "the next few weeks." Further down the road, the company plans on releasing apps for the iPhone and Android.

Large waves, rough seas and strong rip currents spawned by Hurricane Bill kept most beachgoers and surfers out of the water in New York and New Jersey, putting a damper on one of the last weekends of the summer season.
Scores of beaches in New York City and Long Island were temporarily closed because of dangerous surf conditions. But, many surfers braved the waves and huge swells. By Sunday afternoon the Nassau County Department of Health allowed 20 beaches to reopen.
Forecasters said the massive storm system, which was not expected to strike land on the East Coast, would also cause some beach erosion in many shore communities. And as an added insult, the storm helped slow down the movement of an unrelated cold front, which spawned numerous showers over most of the state during the day, with heavier rains predicted after dusk.
Numerous flood, flash flood and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings were issued by the National Weather Service. Flooding was reported in many areas of the Garden State, leaving dozens of cars submerged and briefly trapping some people in their vehicles, but no injuries were reported.
More than an inch of rain had fallen in northern areas by Saturday night, and at least another inch was expected Sunday.
Rip currents and rough seas caused by the hurricane forced officials to prohibit swimming at most beaches, while lifeguards at other sites were advising people to stay out of the water.
The stormy conditions also dashed the hopes of dozens of surfers who had gathered along shore beaches, where 8- to 12-foot waves were reported early in the day and were expected to go even higher as the day progressed. Many initially planned to ride the waves for most of the day. But only a few actually ventured into the already rough seas, and most of them didn't stay long amid the big swells.
"They were exhausted,'' Atlantic City Beach Patrol Chief Rod Aluise told The Press of Atlantic City, noting that some surfers just stood on the beach "with their eyes popping out'' at the size of the waves.
"This is only for experienced surfers,'' Aluise said.
Conditions were a little better up the coast, as a few dozen surfers were able to ride the large waves in waters off Ocean County.
"Obviously if a hurricane was actually hitting it would be a different story, but when the storm is off the coast, and the weather's not bad, it creates swell for us,'' Joe Buono, a 20-year-old Brick resident, told The Star-Ledger of Newark.
The stormy conditions were expected to last at least until Sunday afternoon, with continued high humidity and temperatures reaching into the low 80s.
"It takes a while for the ocean to relax'' after strong storms, said Gary Conte, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "Until it does, riptides will make dangerous sport'' for surfers and swimmers.
The conditions nearly proved tragic for two men riding personal watercraft in the ocean near the Manasquan Inlet. They fell off just before noon and had to be rescued by three lifeguards in the water and four lifeguards pulling a rope, said Marilou Halvorsen, marketing director for Jenkinson's Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach.
"They got caught in the waves, and they fell off,'' Halvorsen said, noting that neither man was injured. "They shouldn't have been out there.''
Despite the poor weather outlook on Saturday, boardwalk areas along the shore became more crowded as the day progressed. Officials said many people came out to watch the big waves and stormy seas, while others just wanted to spend time on the beach.
"It's pretty cool watching the surfers,'' said Debbie Lewis of Lafayette, Pa., who was vacationing in Ventnor with her husband, Scott. "Feels like we're watching 'Hawaii Five-O.''

BRP Triple Clamp SUB Mounted 00-20 KTM 125-530 Models
Product Code: TCA-#### SERIES 4
NOTE: 03 125/200/250 & 04 125/200 SX Need to use 18mm Upper & Lower Clamps. These models came with a 14mm offset and require the use of our upper and lower 18mm offset kit.
The BRP SUB Mounted Triple Clamp is offered with our SUB Mount "Scotts under Bar" which allows you to mount your Scotts Stabilizer below the handlebars and is a great setup for all riding conditions especially moto and grand prix. Most models available with rubber mounted bar mounts that help reduce vibration.
BRP triple clamps offer a wide range of options to accommodate different rider ergonomics. In most cases a BRP SUB Mounted triple clamp offers a 25mm (1") taller bar position and a bar position with a greater "RTS" (Relative to Stem) distance than a stock triple clamp which helps improve the ergo's for most all riders. [ RTS Chart ]
The BRP SUB Mount is designed to run 1 1/8" bars (Optional 7/8" bar adapters are available). This style of stabilizer mounting offers several great benefits to both the average height or taller rider.
- Reduces the risk of rider coming into contact with the stabilizer
- SUB mounting prevents damage to stabilizer in the event of a crash
- Shorter tower creates a more positive stabilizer action
- Ability to run bar pad adding another level of protection for the rider
- 25mm (1") taller bar position for the taller stature rider (shorter riders can use lower bar bends)
BRP triple clamps are manufactured to the highest quality standards from 6061-T6 billet aluminum which is far stronger than the OEM unit and comparable in weight. Our precision machined fork bores feature a 2 pinch bolt design that increases the clamping surface on the forks which in turn will help prevent fork twist in the event of a hard landing or crash. Finished in our signature black anodize the BRP triple clamps will give your machine that factory look.
This is an easy bolt on assembly which requires basic hand tools and can be performed by the novice mechanic.
Depending on the model there may be additional hardware required such as; headlight & odo brackets or mounts that are an additional charge. Some applications are available with solid mounted bar mounts only, and the fork pinch bolts may come from the front. We also offer additional bar positions Relative to Stem "RTS" for most models see RTS Chart. If you need more information about these possible options PLEASE SPECIFY IN THE CUSTOMER NOTES SECTION DURING THE CHECK-OUT PROCESS and we will contact you with the information.

Pagan Community Notes is a series focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. Reinforcing the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more individuals, especially those working within Pagan organizations, get into the habit of sharing their news with the world. So let's get started!
On Monday in California a resolution introduced by Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett was unanimously adopted by the State Senate. SCR-32 designates October as Hindu American Awareness and Appreciation Month, and was backed by the Hindu American Foundation. Pagan chaplain and activist Patrick McCollum, who was honored by HAF in 2009 due to his work on behalf of minority religions, was invited to be a part of this moment, one that he called "historic." McCollum added that "Pagans and Hindus have supported one another for equal rights and recognition and we stand together for a better world." This is the first such resolution to honor American Hindus, and one of very few resolutions to honor a non-Christian minority faith in the United States. As State Senator Corbett says in her official statement, quote, "I am honored to represent constituents from many diverse backgrounds, including a significant number of Hindu Americans, California is home to a thriving community of over 370,000 Hindu Americans that enrich our state's diversity and professional assets in fields as diverse as academia, science, technology, business, arts and literature." You can see a picture of Rev. Patrick McCollum with Senate Majority Leader Corbett, here. Congratulations to our Hindu cousins!
The International New Age Trade Show (INATS) was held this past weekend, and the annual COVR (Coalition of Visionary Retailers) awards were handed out. Pagan and metaphysical publisher Llewellyn Worldwide took home four COVR awards, including a First Runner Up award (Wicca/Paganism category) for Rev. Mark Townsend's "Jesus Through Pagan Eyes" (reviewed here). The big Pagan winner of the weekend was author Christopher Penczak, who took home First Place awards for "Buddha, Christ, Merlin: Three Wise Men for Our Age" and "The Gates of Witchcraft," a Runner Up prize for "Feast of the Morrighan," and two awards for his spell coins. Penczak said he was "humbled and grateful" for the recognition he received. You can read more about this year's COVR nominees and winners here, here, and here. For an insiders perspective of INATS, and the future of the occult/metaphysical market, I found this blog post very interesting. Congratulations to all the winners!
The Adocentyn Research Library in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, in the process of building what they hope will be "the premier Pagan research center in the Western US," have reached a new milestone. According to Adocentyn board member and co-founder Donald H. Frew, their online catalogue has surpassed 4,500 volumes, with far more volumes on-site and in the process of being catalogued. Quote: "There are over 6000 volumes currently on-site (plus hundreds of periodicals) with another 5000+ coming (plus ephemera such as correspondence, notebooks, etc.). Cataloguing takes time, but we have 19 volunteers helping us move things along. We will be opening soon." This is exciting progress for the library, and you can keep up with the latest announcements at their official Facebook page. As I've reported previously, Adocentyn is in preliminary talks with the New Alexandrian Library Project (currently under construction) and other institutions in forming a Pagan Libraries Organization so that they can share information, and offer inter-library loans.
Last week's Summer Solstice saw the dedication of a commemorative blue plaque at the Brighton, UK home of Dorren Valiente, called by many the mother of modern religious Witchcraft (you can read my previous coverage of the plaque here). Druid leader Philip Carr-Gomm, who attended the ceremony, said that this was a historic moment for more than one reason. Quote: "This is a first for Wicca and Paganism but this was also a historic moment for another reason – it is apparently the first blue plaque to appear on a council block." The Centre for Pagan Studies has posted a video of the unveiling which I've embedded below. You can see additional coverage of the event at The Argus, which has also posted a video from the ceremony. John Belham-Payne, who inherited the bulk of Valiente's Pagan-oriented estate, says he plans to open a museum in Brighton. Quote: "I've been contacted by museum owners in Salem but Brighton is the only place for the collection."
In Other Pagan Community News:
- Despite some initial, rather unwelcoming, sentiments from the locals, the Lake Okeechobee Summer Solstice Festival seemed to do very well. It seems like the outreach by Peter Dybing and the Lady Liberty League was effective, with festival-goers receiving little trouble. Quote: "The rally cry for a coalition of protesters settled into a very small number of local Christians who came for a short prayer session during which they were offered water because of our Community's concerns about dehydration and our basic principle of extending hospitality to locals whenever possible." More coverage from Mead Muse, here. Pagan musician Mama Gina even wrote a song about the whole experience!
- PNC-Minnesota reports on how a series of severe storms have affected the Minneapolis area, causing blackouts and flooding, and how various Pagan members of the community are faring. Quote: "Lisa Spiral Besnett, a resident of Plymouth and hostess of the Priestess Show on Blogtalk radio had a tree split in half blocking her driveway and a near miss in front of her house. She counts herself as more fortunate than other area locals who face significant property loss from fallen trees."
- While I'm on the subject of PNC-Minnesota, they will be rolling out several Pagan Spirit Gathering-related stories this week, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, Caroline Kenner has posted her experiences at Free Spirit Gathering in Maryland at Witchvox. Quote: "Free Spirit Alliance's 28th annual summer gathering took place Tuesday, June 11th through Sunday, June 16th, at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, Maryland. FSG has tremendous resonance in the Pagan communities throughout the mid-Atlantic states, north to New England, west through Ohio, and south past the Carolinas. FSG has been an important gathering of the Pagan tribes for so long that we are working on raising our third generation now."
- The UK Pagan magazine Greenmantle recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Originally a photocopied newsletter, the publication is now associated with the Centre for Pagan Studies and is including an exclusive CD of music with their latest issue.
- Curious about that whole "Pagan" Anglican Churches business I recently discussed here? Reverend Steve Hollinghurst, who was the figure quoted, expands and clarifies at his blog. Quote: "I am more worried about what Pagans may think , and indeed some are thinking, that I and others are creating some deceptive fake church in order to target Pagans and recruit them. I have a number of Pagan friends and I value being part of groups in which Pagans are included. So I was rather disturbed by a story growing up that I was simply deceiving these people in order to recruit them. and for this reason felt I needed to set the record straight."
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

It won't become a subdivision, I'm pretty sure of that. It's a small-town area where home prices are low because demand is low. I could (and sometimes want to) buy a fantastic Arts & Crafts bungalow or Sears-kit type house around there (in fact, not far away is a town full of Sears houses) for half of what my house here in the Chicago suburbs is worth, but if I did, I'd better be prepared to live in it for the rest of my life, because hardly any one ever moves there looking to buy a house. It's not land that someone's going to develop on a speculative basis.
I suspect that if the land gets sold eventually, if there's not much interest in farming the open land, the wooded part would be allowed to take over, and eventually it will become 100% hunting / forest / camping / hiking land. How soon that would happen may depend on whether there's some other farmer in the area that is interested in it as cropland.

From the USDA:
Under the ERS definition, family farms represent 97.6 percent of all U.S. farms and are responsible for 85 percent of U.S. farm production.
Taken from here: USDA ERS
I will give you farms have gotten bigger. This has been going on since somebody discovered they were better at making beads than growing food, and could trade the beads for the food they needed. Since farmer Ug didn't need to spend time making beads anymore, he could do what he was really good at, and grow more food. Since he was now supplying two families and Mrs Ug still got her beads.
Farming has constantly changed. I am still amazed that 1954 was the year that there were more tractors than horses on US farms. 1954!! That's not that long ago.
The price of farmland, equipment, seed, feed, buildings, everything that goes into living, has increased faster than the price of the crops and livestock being sold. This means you need to have more for sale, at smaller margins, to make a living.
There is a thread going on right now, someplace on LTH, about the price of beef tenderloin. This is what happens when production isn't plentiful enough to flood the demand. The prices go up. The beef guys are making pretty good money right now, and the herds aren't expanding because there is more money in selling calves for beef, than keeping them for breeding.
Everybody wants cheap food, including the Gov't, this has led to bigger farms.
My great grandpa was happy to grow enough food to feed his family, and have extra to sell for a roof over his head, coffee & gunpowder. Today, one US farmer feeds 155 people. And those 155 people don't want to pay too much to eat.
The old barns aren't useful anymore,they are too small to park today's machinery in. The number of livestock you need to make a living today pretty much makes these old barns obsolete, as feeding floors. Property taxes are so high you can't afford to have them around if they aren't useful...... so that's the end of the old barns.
As romantic as old farm houses are, they are outdated, crooked, drafty and hard to heat. Most people would like to live in a modern home..... old farm houses are going away. As the small farms are bought up, the old houses are being torn down or abandoned. It has become so hard to get rid of people that quit paying rent, that's it's better to not start renting the house out in the first place. That's not said to be cold and heartless, but it's a fact in the modern world.
I've been rambling again...... I hope this all makes sense. Just because farms have gotten larger, doesn't make them less of a family farm, they just look different. I'm sure my Grandpa grumbled about the number of cars on the road, making it hard to drive his buggy........ and we grumble about potholes on roads that were mud 100 years ago, times change.
...... but please, stop thinking that corporations are running American agriculture. Nothing could be further from the truth.....
I'm kicking my soapbox back into the corner.....
I will edit this to say I am in no way, intending to degrade, besmirch, or in any way trying to make Elfin look or feel bad, in any way shape or form. It just happened to be that post that hit when I was in the mood to type, kind of like the perfect storm. I miss seeing the little farms/farmers too, but they are gone. You can't change it and there is nobody to blame.

Lindsay Lohan recently expressed her support of Mitt Romney. President Barack Obama has Honey Boo Boo in his corner.
Alana Thompson, the 7-year-old star of the series "Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo" stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with her mother, June Shannon. Honey Boo-Boo wrangled the audience's attention with her restlessness and unexpected outbursts. At one point she yelled, "You better red-neck-ognize!"
The stars talked about nicknames, couponing and the Kardashians (which they said they do not watch). They also talked politics.
Kimmel informed Honey Boo-Boo that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on "Live! With Michael and Kelly" that he preferred "Jersey Shore" starlet Snooki over Honey Boo Boo. He then asked which candidate she would vote for, that is, if she could vote. Alana announced her support of Obama, or as she put it "Marack Obama."
Also during the interview, June Shannon revealed that much of the money the family has received from their show has gone to a trust fund for all of her children. She also said some money goes to community outreach programs like The UR Brand that advocates for anti-bullying.

Ex-Bengals cheerleader pleads guilty to reduced charges in sex case
- Sarah Jones may not receive jail time
- Custodial interference felony could be expunged from her record
- Case surfaced after accusations former teacher had sex with student
COVINGTON, Ky. — Former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones pleaded guilty Monday morning and thus avoided standing trial later this week on charges she had a sexual relationship with a student she taught at Dixie Heights High School.
Jones, 27, pleaded guilty to reduced charges of sexual misconduct, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in prison and custodial interference, a felony which could carry a sentence of one to five years in prison.
Jones may not spend any time behind bars. On the custodial interference charge, Kenton County Circuit Court Judge Patricia Summe sentenced Jones to two years, diverted for five years probation. If Jones does not violate probation, she will be able to petition to have the felony expunged from her record.
On the charge of sexual misconduct, Jones was sentenced to 12 months probated for two years.
Jones admitted to having a sexual relationship with the student.
Jones and her victim were seen leaving the courthouse together but Jones' attorney Eric Deters would not comment on the nature of the relationship between the two.
Jones was originally charged with first-degree sexual abuse and unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual or other prohibited activities.
Sarah Jones' mother, Cheryl Jones, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted tampering with physical evidence and was sentenced to 12 months conditionally discharged for two years.
Cheryl Jones admitted to sending the victim a text message telling him to get rid of his phone.

Just a spoon full of… honey makes it all go away!Hot Drink, Remedy
Your Majesty Princess Francine,
How was the marathon?? Hope you had a great run and that all your hard work training paid off! 🙂
I, on the other hand, got increasingly sick all throughout last week, reaching an ill-peak Friday morning when I got to work. Needless to say, I hurried home, to get into my pjs and sleep it off. Right before going to bed, however, I drank my magic potion. Every time I drink this, I wake up feeling a million times better. So, in this post I just wanted to share with you two quick and easy remedies to cure common discomforts.
1. Feeling gross, under the weather? Like you are on the verge of a terrible cold, perhaps the flu? Try my:
Lemon Zap
- 1 lemon
- 2 tsp honey
- {1 slice fresh ginger (if you are really feeling bad)}
- Put the kettle on.
- In a mug squeeze all the juice out of the lemon and add honey.
- Once water has boiled, pour into lemon and honey mixture. {If you are feeling really bad, place a slice of fresh ginger.}
- Let it cool, so you don't burn your mouth, and drink.
* Ginger, is like a bazooka, will help you thwart whatever evil decided to invade your immune system, be warned that you will sweat A LOT in your sleep.
2. Eaten too much? has something sat funny in your belly? Try my:
Clean Mint (Moroccan Mint)
- 1 spring mint (6-8 leaves)
- Put the kettle on.
- Place mint sprig in a mug.
- Once water has boiled, pour over mint leaves.
- Let it cool, so you don't burn your mouth, and drink.
Hope these remedies don't come in handy soon, but whenever I am under the weather, they always rescue me!
I'll be back tomorrow with some yumminess 🙂
Filakia polla!

"One of the biggest changes in politics in my lifetime is that the delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress. For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a world view despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts."

Animal sacrifices were once offered up to God for the forgiveness of sins. Good works in the form of indulgences are today offered up to Christ through the Catholic Church for the forgiveness of the sins of the dead in purgatory. Only, these indulgences are limited to those who died with faith. As can be seen, offerings of atonement for the sins of the dead still go on today. Jesus holds the keys of death and Hades. Since the blood of Christ does not cover those who died without faith, our good works can be offered up to those who died without faith and who are now in hell.
Revelations 1:18. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Philippians 2:10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
John 5:25. Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
Some of the dead today are commonly referred to as "shadow people". I have seen thousands of these spirits. And, I have received divine guidance in regards to them.
I urge those who have the dead in their lives or loved ones in hell to please listen.
Zecharia 9:11. As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
It is all the same for God to free prisoners in this world from their captives as it is for Christ to free prisoners from their captives in the spirit world.
There are various shades of darkness and white or light in the spirit world. In which two kingdoms exist...heaven and hell. The darker spirits are malevolent and are in hell. Here, you can find "shadow people" in scripture.
Psalm 23:4. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Death surrounds us and we can see the shadows of the dead.
Shadow people are generally malevolent spirits of the dead. They are the lost human souls of the netherworld. It is the human condition that we are evil and wicked without God in the afterlife. The soul is in ruins. And in need of salvation (divine restoration).
Jesus descended into hell for three days to deliver the faithful dead with His sacrificial blood atonement.
1 Peter 4:6. For this reason the gospel was preached also to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in spirit.
We must offer up our good works for the atonement of sins for the unfaithful dead and those faithful souls who died of a mortal sin.
2 Maccabees 12:46. Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin.
And, it is by the power of God that salvation is made for us and the dead.
1 Corinthians 1:18. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Comment: Why is "purgatory" necessary, if salvation is by the power of God? Christ can save the dead in a blink of an eye. Although, Catholic myself, I cast my doubts on purgatory.
There is only one way to help these spirits. And that is by making atonement for their sins. In this way, their souls are restored by the divine power of Christ and they can be good spirits with their friends and family in heaven. Atonement is made by offering up our good works to the one and only risen King. One must be in good standing with God and have the door closed to these spirits before atonement will be accepted. This should be done as soon as possible.
Leviticus 19:31. Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them; I am the Lord your God.
Mediums and familiar spirits involve consulting the spirits of the dead. All contact with these or other spirits was strictly forbidden in Israel. It demonstrated lack of faith in and rebellion against God.
Remember, atonement can also be made for our friends and loved ones in hell.
1 Corinthians 15:19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
I find that offering up atonement to Christ for the sins of the unfaithful dead, to be of the utmost importance. These poor souls need us. And, it is the only way that Christ's Redemptive work of salvation is truly complete.
In conclusion, this, my friends, is the most loving thing you can do for these poor, lost souls. And, may God bless you for such an undertaking.

Cleaning & Care
Can drain openers cause damage to finishes?
In most cases, the finish is safe if you follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and make sure the drain cleaner isn't left on the finish for longer than 30 minutes.
What cleaning products can cause damage to finishes?
Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward.
If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: Fantastik® All Purpose Cleaner, or Windex® Original Glass Cleaner, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use.
Avoid using the following which can damage your finish:
- Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner.
- Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents.
- Avoid harsh abrasives or polishes
- Avoid bleach-based cleaners
How can I clean and/or remove mineral deposits from my showerhead?
- Touch-clean® Showerheads - wipe the face of the showerhead (rubber nubbins) to loosen and break away deposits.
- Non Touch-clean showerheads or stubborn deposits - unscrew the showerhead and soak it in a 50/50 vinegar and water solution for several hours. For stubborn deposits, rub with a toothbrush.
What is a Brilliance® finish?
Brilliance® finishes, designed to not corrode, tarnish or discolour for a "like-new" look for life, are developed by embedding molecules deep into the faucet's surface, creating a bond that is virtually indestructible. This process is known as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). Delta was the first manufacturer to offer this patented process that creates a bond that's virtually indestructible with an incredibly reflective shine. Brilliance resists abrasions and discolouration better than traditional special finishes and, in many cases, better than chrome. In independent tests using the harshest drain cleaners, the Delta Brilliance drain retained its appearance, while its competitors did not come close. Tested with over 100 household cleaners, the abrasion resistance of the Brilliance finish can even withstand repeated scouring with steel wool. A Brilliance finish is guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish or discolour for as long as you own your home. It can even withstand prolonged exposure to harsh coastal environments.
How do I keep the surface of my shower base clean?
We recommend cleaning your shower base with a non-abrasive and/or non-caustic cleaner to prevent scratching or dulling of the finish.

I'm thrilled to be participating in the Kid's Crafternoon blog party! By now you already know, Kathreen put together the Crafternoon series, and the first two books Kids' Crafternoon Sewing and Kids' Crafternoon Papercraft are just out! Each book is full of craft projects that kids can do mostly unassisted in an afternoon, hence Kid's Crafternoon! I contributed a little Pencil Pouch project to the Sewing book, and I adore how they styled in in the book. Isn't this cool?
The sewing book is full of such clever ideas, perfect for kids in the 7-12 range. My girls are a bit younger, but I knew they'd enjoy making one of the projects from the Papercraft book with me. We decided to try the Paper Raindrops Curtain by the lovely Khali Whatley. My girls love to hang out the window to wave goodbye and hello to anyone coming or going, so I knew they'd really dig this.
I love the sweetly illustrated instructions, and printed templates are always excellent, but they are especially good for kid's projects. It was super easy to jump right into the project. I did all the cutting, but the girls picked out the colors and helped me glue them together. We were all tickled with how cool it turned out, and even the little one pronounced it "beautiful!" The girls eagerly waited for Daddy to come home so that they could wave at them through the clouds!
Hardie Grant was kind enough to give me a copy of each book to give away to one of you!

First Up - Christmas Day 2012 - Quebec Canada - (Photos Courtesy of Ken Pfeifer) I call these forms `Sky Symbols' as they have been proliferating ever since the Stephenville Events of 2008 when they first surfaced.
2nd Up - 9-9-11 Ventura Iowa - Once again from Ken Pfeifer:
This event was described as being in a location with recurring Orbs/UFO's - this structured Orb is the picture submitted:
Third Up - 10-21-12 Macungie Pennsylvania - Multiple witnesses, huge lights size of 10 planes, lasted about 10 minutes and then `retracted' very fast and the object vanished. Photo once again from Ken Pfeifer:
Fourth Up - Picture is from 11/8/12 - Sterling Heights Michigan - a recurring dual UFO/Orbs for three Thursdays in a row when this picture was taken - Photo From Pfeifer. Oh, the v shape was not seen when the picture was taken.
Fifth Up - July 12th, 2011 - New Smyrna Florida - same recurring Orbs - three nights in a row - another Sky Symbols form. - Photo From K. Pfeifer and MUFON.
Sixth Up - Rockford Illinois, November 1st, 2012 - Night time `space worm' form again - stayed in one place an hour for observation which changed during experience.
Seventh Up - Oct. 5th, 2012 - Levittown Pennsylvania - man connected to Paranormal Society was out taking pictures of Orbs when lo and behold - he was presented with as he states it - `a different type of light energy'. He described it as connected circles or rings:
Eighth Up - 9/14/12 - British Columbia Canada - Object hovering over ocean with 3 glowing parts that got routed by the typical helicopters:
Folks, the more I look at these photos - of what I have been calling the Sky Symbols and Structured Orbs of the most recent past since 2008 and even more present - I am reminded of a link I ran earlier in the year that suggested that perhaps NASA had suppressed evidence of `life near a Saturn Moon' - Vacuum `Creatures' Of Saturn Moon (see pictures at link) - it does look like bio-luminescence like life. Perhaps some extension of the Orb Phenomena.
What I am also reminded of is the image that is portrayed by Carlos Castaneda of what he says he saw as Don Juan left our reality with a line of sorcerers - basically a line of connected lights squiggling through the reality structure. Below is a Castaneda Title.
The Active Side of Infinity=============================================
About 50 of you found the FREE book on my Kindle Author Page yesterday for free download - much appreciated. This month 8 UK readers purchased my books and 2 `borrowed' books - again, much appreciated. I also had purchases from folks around the world including Denmark and other locations. Thanks.
Finally, best wishes for the year 13 of this century count - have a safe night and see you again tomorrow.

Snapshots from Spain: San Ginés Chocolateria, Madrid
Traditionally consumed in the morning hours as a Spanish breakfast, churros and chocolate make for a sweet start to the day. There are two ways to enjoy churros and chocolate at Chocolateria San Ginés in Madrid; one like tourist and one like a local, but both happen around the same time, breakfast.
In Madrid, the metro stops running around midnight, so the decision has to be made to either call it quits or stay out all night and catch the train when it starts running again at 6 am. Hidden away mere steps from the Puerta del Sol is the famous Chocolateria San Ginés. It's been serving up churros and chocolate 24 hours a day since 1894. Whether you've been out partying all night and need a pick me up for the day to come, or you've just woken up, all tend to meet at this little gem during the breakfast hours. The crisp churros are made in house, and the combination of savory, crunchy churros dunked into the smooth, sweet, warm chocolate is a wonderful way to start your morning.
If you are craving the cinnamon and sugar dusted Mexican-style churros, then head elsewhere. These churros are made by the spiraled piping of batter into large fry vats. The fried spiral shape is then cut into smaller, more manageable sections, and placed next to a steaming hot cup of thick chocolate. Their are two types churros, the traditional skinny sticks, and a thicker, heartier version called porras. Made from the same batter, the size is the only difference between the two. Both are meant for dipping into the almost pudding thick chocolate, and both are extremely delicious.

Having made a mint off the original low-budget, high box office horror flick "Paranormal Activity," the studio has brought in a couple of pros to pen and direct a second installment.
"These guys get it, and the fans won't be disappointed," "Paranormal" writer/director Oren Peli told Heat Vision. Peli and Jason Blum, who produced the first one, are producing the follow up.
The "guys" in question are screenwriter Michael R. Perry ("The Dead Zone," "House") and director Kevin Greutert ("Saw VI").
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
One is tempted to ask why Peli would entrust his creation to outsiders, but the answer is obvious -- money.
In addition to poaching the latest director from the "Saw" franchise, Paramount is also going after its traditional opening weekend, having slated "Paranormal" 2 for the weekend before Halloween.
The original was made for $15,000 and took in more than $100 million, so you can be sure they threw a heap of money at Peli and Blum for a second one, but didn't trust them to deliver again.

The first season of TLC's "Extreme Couponing" show provoked an enormous amount of water cooler discussion this spring, garnering everything from mild interest to vitriolic haters.
The show focused on heavy coupon users who are practiced in the art of gathering free or nearly free products from grocery stores. In many cases, the showcased shoppers would pay under $10 for hundreds of dollars of products.
Often, the show was followed up by an episode of the TLC original documentary series "Hoarders," a juxtaposition that was not lost on many viewers.
In one episode, a shopper proudly displayed his 1,000 tubes of toothpaste. In another episode, a pair of twin sisters stockpiled truckloads of diapers, but there was no baby in the house. One mom's stash began creeping into her children's bedrooms. Other shoppers were portrayed in a more favorable light, donating much of their stockpile to charity.
But the show also was criticized for its unrealistic portrayal of coupon use. And bargain bloggers around the Internet began to disavow the series as harmful to the average shopper.
But the ratings, apparently, did not suffer. The series is coming back for a second season, and casting directors are actively looking for coupon clippers to showcase.
If you are a serious coupon user that hopes to bring back the hobby's good name, email email@example.com to ask for an application. This is the casting description from the show: "If you have the expertise to get amazing deals and accumulate fantastic stockpiles of goodies, we'd love to hear from you!"
An insider's note: A casting director reached out to me specifically about some of the shoppers I have written about here in Hampton Roads. Stay tuned, we may see one of our own on the series.

thanks for your message. What a wonderful idea, to perform Rhinestone Cowboy AND teach the children something about Alzheimer's disease at the same time. I bet Glen would have loved the idea as well. Concerning autographs, that is going to be difficult because I suspect that Glen is not able to give autographs anymore. But perhaps some of the other fans here have an idea to help you out. Thanks for this wonderful initiative!
I really appreciate your response. It's a great song. Thanks for chiming in. Hopefully someone will see this.

FEMA DRF Major Disaster Assistance: District of Columbia
January 28, 2015
January 28, 2015 FEMA DRF Major Disaster Assistance: District of Columbia Overview The Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is the primary source of funding used to provide assistance following a major disaster declaration. The authority to declare a major disaster is provided to the President under the Robert T. Stafford Emergency Relief and Disaster Assistance Act (P.L. 93-288). Figure 1. DRF Obligations for Declared Major Disasters in the District of Columbia, by Fiscal Year Figures are in millions of dollars. The number of declarations per year is in parentheses. The information below includes only the funding provided as a result of a major disaster declaration, not other assistance funded through the DRF. Additionally, this information does not include other federal sources of disaster assistance, such as Small Business Administration disaster loans. FEMA administers disaster relief through regional offices around the country. The District of Columbia is part of Region III, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. Major Disaster Declarations: FY2000-FY2013 A total of 10 major disaster declarations were made in the District of Columbia between FY2000 and FY2013. During that time, there were no requests for major disaster declarations that were denied. The approved declarations led to $45 million in federal obligations from the Disaster Relief Fund. This funding does not include the assistance that was provided directly by the District, either as a costshare for federal assistance, or through the District's own authorities and programs. There was a high level of variation in the amount of funding obligated each year, with $12 million obligated in FY2010 alone. Figure 1 displays the total funding obligated to the District of Columbia each year. The highest number of declarations in one year occurred in FY2000, FY2010, and FY2012, each of which had two declarations. Significant Incidents The most significant incident in the District of Columbia was Hurricane Isabel, which occurred in FY2003. This incident led to $8 million in federal funding from the DRF. Other major incidents include severe winter storms in FY2010 and Hurricane Sandy in FY2013. Source: CRS analysis of FEMA DRF obligations data as of June 2014. Notes: Figures above reflect both actual obligations and projected obligations. Only obligations from the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund are included. Please consult the "Additional Resources" section for information on other federal assistance programs. www.crs.gov | 7-5700 FEMA DRF Major Disaster Assistance: District of Columbia Types of Assistance Provided for Major Disasters Other Assistance Funded Through the DRF A major disaster declaration can include funding for different purposes, depending on the needs of the state. These purposes include: In addition to the major disasters listed above, there are also other forms of assistance that are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund. These include both Emergency Declarations and Fire Management Assistance Grants. The assistance provided for these declarations typically involves lower obligation levels than major disaster declarations, although there is significant variation across incidents. • Public Assistance (PA) that is used to conduct debris removal operations, repair or replace damaged public infrastructure, and other assistance; • Individual Assistance (IA) that provides direct aid to impacted households, and other assistance; • Hazard Mitigation (HM) that funds resilience projects and programs, typically across the whole state; and Emergency Declarations are often made at the time a threat is recognized and are issued to assist state, local, and tribal efforts prior to the incident. • FEMA administrative costs associated with each Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAGs) provide aid for the control, management, and mitigation of fires. The decision to provide certain types of assistance is made at the time of the major disaster declaration. For many major disasters, all of the assistance types outlined above will be authorized. For others, some assistance types will not be included. Figure 2 compares the amounts expended for different types of assistance that were provided to the District of Columbia from FY2000 to FY2013. Additional Resources disaster declaration. Figure 2.

Wanted to share my personal crash here.
Been driving on a highway about 100 km/h with my girlfriend when the rain began. There was a Toyota Land Cruiser driving in front of me and I decided to slow down a bit to give myself more space and less rain on my windshield. The second I began to slow down - the car's front right wheel fell in the puddle (which of course,shouldn't be on a closed paid highway) and the car went to the right,smashing the barrier and thrown back in the middle of the road. I was able to correct the car a little,otherwise the hit would be in the back of the car,which is not too safe I suppose.
Luckily,nobody was hurt(not even a minor scratch or shock),the car didn't roll over and didn't smash any other cars during the crash. It felt like nothing has happened at all.
I'm thinking of selling this one "as is",cause driving a repaired car after accident like this doesn't seem to me like a great idea. The car is only 20 000 kilometers old.
This is the damage in detail and all it's glory. 3 airbags on the front were used.
The car starts and even drives(altough,front right wheel is dead)
Point of impact(lots of parts were trown there and never seen again)
More footage
Only the front part of the car was in the collision,however,it seems like the hit was so powerful that the whole car got screwed up. It was loud.
From Russia with Love!
Lucky you and everyone else are okay. Very lucky! How does Russian insurance work?

Cudahy man wants police protection for ducks
A grandfather in Cudahy wants police protection for a mother duck and nine eggs.
Bob Kotlowski is a retired steelworker. He and his wife, Jean, have been in Cudahy for 45 years.
Under a blue spruce he planted, which is now 60 feet tall, are the mother duck and her eggs. He said she leaves the nest twice each day.
"We decided to give each of the chicks, there are nine of them, a name," he said. "We figured, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do-do, Re-re and of course her name is Donna."
The nest is close to the street and visible on all sides. The Department of Natural Resources told Kotlowski to not go near the duck or feed her because it might draw predators.
Kotlowski found that the duck's brood will hatch about 28 days from when the last egg dropped -- one week from Saturday.
When they do, Cudahy police told Kotlowski to give them a call if the mother leads her ducklings toward nearby Pennsylvania Avenue.

Jane E. Fraser on wearing appropriate clothing overseas.
It's great to dress to impress but when travelling in some countries it is perhaps more important not to make an impression. Many an Aussie traveller has been guilty of causing offence in a foreign country and while some simply do not care, many are unaware they have done so.
Appropriate dress standards vary enormously from country to country and even from one town to another, so it is easy to get it wrong if you are not paying attention.
And don't assume specific standards only apply to Middle Eastern or Asian countries, as even very liberal countries can have cultural quirks. In Brazil, for example, it is perfectly acceptable to parade up and down the streets of Copacabana in a bikini so skimpy it is barely there, or to dance in the Rio Carnival in little more than body paint, yet topless sunbathing on the beach is both prohibited and frowned upon.
Women need to be particularly mindful of local customs, particularly in Muslim countries, where head coverings are sometimes required and conservative dress is almost always advised. Many conservative countries require you to cover your shoulders, arms, legs and even ankles, and dressing appropriately can be as much for your own safety as for avoiding offence - exposing too much flesh can send the wrong message and attract unwanted attention.
Malaysia is a good example of a country where dress standards vary a great deal from one part of the country to another.
Tourism Malaysia director Shahrin Moktar says while most of the country is very liberal and it is acceptable to wear clothing such as shorts, the eastern states are much more conservative and visitors need to be more modest in their clothing.
Moktar says while it is unlikely locals will say anything about inappropriate clothing (out of respect for tourism), it will cause offence and possibly cause you to be stared at.
"You do have to know where to wear certain things in Malaysia," he says. "Without intention, you can hurt other people's feelings."
Moktar says travellers to Malaysia also need to be prepared to cover up if they want to visit some religious sites.
"If you want to enter a mosque, you have to have a long dress or trousers," he says.
So how do you find out about local customs and the different requirements of places you are going?
The first step is to do some reading before you leave home, so you don't arrive with a suitcase full of inappropriate clothes.
Most guidebooks give a good rundown on what is expected and you can also find cultural information in travel brochures and on the internet.
If you have booked through a tour operator or travel agent, don't be embarrassed to ask about what you should pack - the main point of travelling overseas is to learn about other cultures and you should not be expected to know until you have been.
Another source of information can be the country's tourist office, although I have found the answers can be skewed by the personal beliefs of the person to whom you happen you speak.
Once you arrive in the country, it is best to take your cue from the locals: if the women are all wearing long skirts then your short shorts are probably going to cause offence. And if the men are all going into a restaurant or temple in longsleeved shirts, your favourite Mambo T-shirt might not be appreciated.
T-shirts with any sort of doubtful image or wording should be left home, as what is considered funny in Australia might not be so in other countries.
What you should always pack if you are unsure about dress standards is an emergency cover-up item, such as a lightweight sarong or shawl for women and a long-sleeved cotton shirt for men.
These often come in handy if you want to go to religious sites - in some countries it is fine to walk around the streets in shorts and a T-shirt but if you want to enter a place of worship, you need to be covered from head to toe. Thailand is a prime example.
It is better to come prepared than to miss out on experiencing some of the culture or to find out what it is like to be stared at everywhere you go.
- Look in guide books and travel brochures for guidelines.
- Ask your tour leader or travel agent what is expected.
- Take your cue from the locals - standards vary from place to place.
- Carry a lightweight sarong, wrap or long-sleeved shirt to cover up when necessary.
- Err on the conservative side if you are not sure.
