All of these are different brands of the same active substance – Tamoxifen Citrate
Tamoxifen 10mg for Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Tamoxifen Citrate, most common known as Nolvadex is one of the most popular SERM's any performance enhancer will ever use and as such Nolvadex PCT use remains the most common purpose. Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is a very important part of the anabolic steroid plan as this is the period after use is discontinued that allows the body to normalize; an important factor in maintaining good health as well as protecting gains made while on cycle. A plan based on a Nolvadex PCT can readily and efficiently produce the desired end very thoroughly and make ones experience not only more enjoyable but more effective as well.
The Basic Nolvadex PCT Plan:
In most cases a good Nolvadex PCT plan will run for approximately 4 weeks; in some cases 5-6 weeks may be needed but 4 weeks is a good general rule of thumb. Most will find a dosing of 40mg per day to be an efficient starting point with a tapering down as the week's progress and then discontinuing altogether. The basic Nolvadex PCT plan should be as follows:
1: 40mg every day Week
2: 40mg every day Week
3: 20mg every day Week
4: 20mg every day
In some cases, generally referring to those who have cycled for a far extended period of time with high doses an additional week of 40mg per day may be warranted as well as an added week of 20mg per day. In either case this will provide the adequate stimulation of testosterone production the individual needs as Tamoxifen Citrate actively by its nature stimulates and promotes the release of the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) thereby stimulating natural testosterone production.
Super-Sized Nolvadex PCT Plan:
While this will not be necessary for many PCT plans for quite a few it can be highly advised. Cycles that extend into the 12 week duration and beyond are often benefited by the following plan, especially those that include very suppressive anabolic steroids. For this super-sized version we are simply adding Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) into the equation thereby promoting a more efficient recovery. With this plan the same Nolvadex PCT plan listed above will be used, the only change will be the introduction of hCG ten days prior to Nolvadex therapy. A steady daily dose of hCG at 1,000iu per day is often a very effective dosing when applied every day for ten days before the Nolvadex PCT portion of the plan is implemented.
When to Start your Nolvadex PCT Plan:
The starting point of your Nolvadex PCT plan will be determined by the anabolic steroids being used at the conclusion of your anabolic steroid cycle. If the cycle ends with short ester based anabolic steroids the PCT plan can begin a few days after your last injection; conversely if it ends with long ester based steroids you will need to wait a 2-3 weeks before Nolvadex PCT therapy begins. If the cycle ends with a mixture of both short and long ester based steroids, due to the long esters being present we will still necessarily wait until the 2-3 week mark has passed before beginning therapy.
It needs to be noted, while the above remains true if we are using the super-sized Nolvadex PCT plan things change a little bit. In this case if short ester anabolic steroids are what was used at the end of the cycle the plan remains the same; we will start our PCT with hCG a few days after our last injection, complete our ten day hCG run and then begin Nolvadex therapy once it is complete. If however our cycle ended with long ester gear and we are following the super-sized Nolvadex PCT plan we can begin our hCG therapy about ten days after our last injection, complete the ten days of hCG use followed by our Nolvadex therapy.

When the Amazon Echo Show first debuted, it included a YouTube feature, as is right and proper for a device with a screen capable of playing video and connecting to the internet. But Google quickly nixed the Echo Show YouTube player, since it was a non-standard presentation of the company's stuff which did not comply with their terms of use.
Now, YouTube is back on Echo Show (via Voicebot), and it looks a heck of a lot different. It now much more closely resembles what you'd expect to find when browsing YouTube on the web or on a tablet, and the new look is clearly intended to bring the YouTube app on Echo Show in compliance with the requirements set forth for its use by Google and YouTube.
The original look was probably better suited to a device that's designed to be used primarily via voice, but the new one feels more like the YouTube people know and love, so it's a bit of a mixed bag. Still, it's good that it's back – the Echo Show was born for YouTube, as an idle time consumption device that likely often lives atop kitchen counters.
Amazon Echo Show now also offers Vimeo and Dailymotion video access, the company notes. A spokesperson provided the following statement:
We're excited to offer customers the capability to watch even more video content from sources such as Vimeo, YouTube, and Dailymotion on Echo Show. More video sources will be added over time.

I would love to try the ProMarkers. Thanks for the opportunity to win them. I do have one other question: I've had CDS since the first year it came out and until your video had always been very frustrated with not being able to resize a welded grouping. First, I uninstalled my orig version... how frightening that I had never been with-it enough to do that yet and then created your frame. My "welding" button is checked for all 4 pcs, but the top and left move together and the bottom and rt move together, but I can't resize the entire frame the way your video indicated. I've done it 3 times, obviously I can readily repeat the same mistake!!! LOL, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.ReplyDelete

That's really pretty with the embossing. Just be careful with the markers, I don't think you're supposed to use alcohol markers over embossing powder because it kind of melts & sticks to the tip.ReplyDelete

Love the card and Zing!!! I would love a chance to play with Promarkers. I stayed away from Copics because of the price and so many colors. I love this set though. Maybe I can start coloring again.

HEER, LOUIS-CHRÉTIEN DE, painter and gilder; b. 3 Nov. 1760 in Bouxwiller, France, son of Jean-Tobie Heer, commissary at the court of Bouxwiller, and Frédérique-Louise Ouvrier; d. some time before 1808.
Louis-Chrétien de Heer was baptized in the Lutheran faith and had three godfathers and two godmothers, all of whom were in the service of the gentry of Bouxwiller and the surrounding region. De Heer arrived in North America in 1776 as colour-bearer in the Regiment Specht in the troops from Brunswick which had come as mercenaries to support the British forces engaged in the American Revolutionary War.
After the war de Heer settled in Montreal, and there, on 25 July 1784, in Christ Church (Anglican), he married Marie-Angélique Badel, daughter of Antoine Badel, a tailor. In the period between 1785 and 1790 the couple had four daughters, who were baptized in either Montreal or Quebec, the two towns in which he practised his trade as painter and gilder.
In 1787 de Heer, who was living on Rue des Pauvres (Côte du Palais) at Quebec, put an advertisement in the Quebec Gazette announcing: "He will draw Pictures either in Oil or in Pastel, Landskips, Tapistries of all sorts . . . and he also engages to teach in a very short time such persons as may be inclined to learn Painting." But as this activity did not provide enough to live on, two years later he signed an important contract with the parish priest of Saint-Charles, near Quebec – despite the fact that he was a Protestant – by which he undertook to do the gilding on the baldachin of the church and to execute seven paintings for the chancel portraying Christ and six of the apostles, as well as one of the Holy Ghost for the sanctuary and another of St John the Baptist for the baptismal font.
In September 1789, however, de Heer was back in Montreal, on Rue Saint-Paul, still looking for more lucrative contracts. His advertisement, which appeared this time in the Gazette de Montreal, promised "good work at a moderate price." De Heer, it stated, "flatters himself on being able to gild with oil, sizing and copal varnish, and in addition offers to give all possible instruction . . . in painting." He was anxious to attract clients, and it is apparent from his peregrinations that he could not find sufficient patronage in either town. He returned to Quebec, where in July 1790 he advertised his usual services, painting and teaching, and also informed the public "that he has received by the last ships from Europe, an Assortment of superfine Paints, books of various Flowers, Land capes, &c." To survive, however, he had to appeal to his clientele by substantially reducing his prices for "the Pictures of half length." That year he worked at gilding the retable (as the decorated structure housing the altar in the sanctuary was then known) in the church of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours at L'Islet.
De Heer's Catholic clients and also his wife's family probably had an influence on him, for in September 1792, in the sick ward of the Hôtel-Dieu at Quebec, he abjured his Protestant faith and became a Catholic. In 1800 he and some former comrades in arms signed a petition for a tract of land, which was refused them. There is no subsequent information about the artist until 25 Jan. 1808, when his daughter Marie-Louise married Pierre-Guillaume De Lisle. In their marriage contract de Heer was reported to be absent from the country; the marriage certificate said that he was dead.
A great many religious paintings and portraits of citizens, military personnel, and ecclesiastics are attributed to Louis-Chrétien de Heer. None of these works is signed, however, and there is no documentary confirmation of these attributions, with the exception of a painting of St Louis in the church of Saint-Michel, at Vaudreuil, which bears de Heer's name in block letters. De Heer probably had great difficulty in living on the income from his painting. Compared with the works of such contemporaries as François Malepart* de Beaucourt, Louis Dulongpré*, and William Berczy, the portraits attributed to de Heer are stiff and naïve in technique. His subjects, whether soldiers or ecclesiastics, are shown full face, with little depth. His use of colour and his emphasis on surface pattern make him, however, one of the best primitive portrait artists in Lower Canada. Like other little-known painters, he was an itinerant. Through force of circumstance de Heer was versatile; through misfortune he was in competition with several more accomplished artists.

The clunkiness of the Commonwealth's laws on alcohol sales was on full display over the holiday season, as lawmakers scrambled for a way to let charities keep holding wine auctions. No one noticed until close to the holidays, the State House News Service reported, that the law allowing the auctions was set to expire Jan. 1, and lawmakers were refusing to renew it as part of a larger bill to allow out-of-state wineries to ship directly to consumers. While the Legislature eventually extended the current law to allow the charities to auction wine, lawmakers are still stalling on the bill allowing direct shipment of wine. It's time for Beacon Hill to get moving — and stop putting the interests of liquor stores ahead of consumers.
A US Supreme Court decision in 2005 struck down state laws that prohibit out-of-state wineries from shipping directly to consumers; Massachusetts had such a law. But the Legislature, under pressure from alcohol wholesalers and retailers, has dragged its feet about setting up licensing rules for direct shipments. And in the absence of such rules, few wineries or shipping companies will risk sending wine into the Commonwealth.
Representative Ted Speliotis, who co-chairs the Legislature's Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure, says he hopes the two sides of the issue will reach a compromise. Yet the opposing sides are so far apart that a compromise is hard to envision; while wine retailers want the ability to sell their products online, they don't want the competition that direct shipping by wineries might provide.
If the Legislature has to choose between abiding by a Supreme Court decision or protecting the short-term business interests of established package stores, following the high court ought to be the wiser path. Besides, it's not the Legislature's job to shield package stores from all possible competition; it's to set up fair rules for direct shipping — and then get out of the way. Lawmakers' failure to do so is a disservice to consumers who visit a winery on vacation and want to send its offerings back home, or who just want to buy a bottle or two from smaller wineries that just aren't distributed in Massachusetts.
The deregulation of the alcohol business is invariably thorny because incumbent interests — in this case, distributors and retailers — give out lots of campaign contributions, and they often raise the specter, even when it's not justified, that less stringent rules will lead to more underage drinking or drunken driving. It's possible that, over time, the wine industry will respond with a better PR campaign or by stepping up its lobbying on Beacon Hill. Perhaps, like proponents of right-to-repair legislation this year, they'll use the threat of a ballot initiative to get their way.
But it shouldn't come to that. In the new year, the Legislature should resolve to let direct shipments in.


text: Big data comes with numerous challenges, and today's geometric growth of data means that one of the biggest problems a CIO faces is how to get the right information every time and for every employee and customer. \nLouis Tetu, chairman and CEO of enterprise search company Coveo, says the average organization has two and a half times the number of information sources that it had only 10 years ago. Innovations such as social media and cloud computing are fueling the proliferation of information. In that same amount of time, CIOs have been primarily pursuing data integration\u2014but federation of all data sources is proving to be a more efficient method of dealing with big data.Getting More Insight from Big Data for Customers, EmployeesWhile some think of big data in terms of volume and velocity, Tetu believes a third dimension\u2014variety\u2014is the key. This includes various data sources such as Web content, email, CRM, databases, ERP and social data. According to Coveo, as many as 65 percent of executives do not combine social data with enterprise content.To handle big data, Coveo reaches beyond intelligent enterprise search technology. Focusing only on search and the ability to retrieve information actually misses the power of indexing. For Web content management, Coveo enables the complete view of the customer and delivers a contextual customer experience by federating content from multiple systems through the search index."We combine Coveo on websites to really assemble the complete relevant information," Tetu says. "When a person hits a website, the company should know if this person called tech support in the last week, when the customer last paid their bill&what products the customer uses and any other relevant information."Getting meaningful information from enterprise data is critical. This goal is twofold, as the platform needs to service two distinct audiences: internal employees and the external customers. In customer relationship management, for example, the 360-degree view of the customer is a goal organizations try to attain. The problem in the CRM world, for most companies, is that the total view of the customer actually resides in a variety of enterprise systems.Commentary: 5 Reasons to Use Social CRM for Customer Support, Service"By leveraging indexes, we can not only federate but also correlate information by finding customers or find[ing] data that looks alike to serve customers in a much more relevant and efficient fashion," Tetu says.The enterprise search element of Coveo's platform can be used across enterprise IT and intranets. It goes beyond basic document retrieval to accomplish tasks such as correlating experts through the content. Coveo enterprise search allows you to find the experts\u2014the "people who know something about something" and the "people who know people"\u2014and find the content that is relevant.The major benefit for Coveo users, Tetu says, is that "employees can get the best available insight, not only by looking at content but by being able to identify the people in the organization who are the experts."How CA Technologies Federates Data from More Than 70 SourcesOne of the broadest implementations of Coveo is at CA Technologies, where it supports 13,000 active users and indexes data from 74 different systems.CA Technologies has a broad portfolio in IT management, security, cloud management and governance. One of the company's CRM challenges was making sure the processes were in place to improve customer interaction through information analogy."Part of our journey in trying to understand how to modernize the organization was determining how we could use information more effectively than we had in the past," says Leo Annab, business technology officer at CA Technologies. "We were so far behind the curve with the technology we used that we could take a step back and look at what other companies were doing and find out what their experiences were like."Annab said the company decided to make a substantial investment in both user interaction and how the company made decisions around information. In the contact center, for example, employees often wasted time searching for, assembling and recreating customer information.Prior to the Coveo implementation, employees had to login to multiple systems and basically correlate data in their heads, with each step in the process offering the potential to retrieve the wrong data. Now employees log in only once\u2014the Coveo platform consolidates the data from different sources through the search index. Three years ago, CA Technologies started with one data source and has continually added sources to create a seamless index that works as well as any Internet search engine.Better Data Insight, Better Customer ServiceOne mistake companies can make is simply trying to keep up with the explosion of data and information. According to Annab, CA Technologies succeeded by choosing to master the data instead.CIO 100: How Thermo Fisher Mines Customer Feedback to Improve Service"The understanding is that we have structured information, but the amount and degree of structured information is aggressively going to go down as an overall proportion of information that's available. For us, it meant we needed to think more about federated data," Annab says. That meant leaving the data where it was and working to actually get insight from what was searched for, he adds.Tetu says Coveo combines data from various content platforms to provide that 360-degree view and experience for the customer by allowing typically siloed content platforms to communicate with each other.Employees can better serve customers by finding the right data at the right time. Externally, too, there is a benefit for the online customer. When a customer logs on, in most scenarios he or she can be identified, classified and routed to specific pages.Coveo allows what are typically siloed content platforms to communicate with each other, Tetu notes. This can provide a 360 degree-view and experience for customers.Take online Web content management systems (CMS). In the enterprise there is very little ability to federate content for a customer outside of content that resides in the CMS platform. By indexing content from multiple systems\u2014including the Web CMS, the CRM system and other databases\u2014a more complete view of the customer is available, and employees can better serve customers by finding the right data at the right time.There is also a benefit for the online customer when using the Web-based self-service system. When you log on as a customer, in most scenarios you can be identified, classified and routed to specific pages so you, too, sees the right information at the right time.Case Study: Coveo an Ingredient in Yum Brands' Recipe for Global CollaborationUsing Coveo, CA Technologies federates information from 24 different systems on its global website. The company says it has 150,000 customers who can authenticate themselves as soon as they log in. By indexing data beyond just the siloed CMS data that most online systems are restricted to using when creating customer profile and Web self-service options, the company knows who you are, what you searched for, the product SKUs you purchased or looked at and your recent tech support issues. Through the federated data sources, the company can also see the content that "customers like you" care about and then offer recommendations to further improve the overall customer experience."In a way it's a bit like visiting Amazon.com the second time, after you've been identified as a customer," Tetu says. "They know what you came the first time\u2014they know what you looked for and bought\u2014and Amazon will start pushing content that is far more contextualized." The difference is that Coveo intelligent search includes data from any enterprise system, database record and social media platform.Based in Nova Scotia, Canada, Vangie Beal has been covering small business, electronic commerce and Internet technology for more than a decade.

The History of Veterans Day
By Steve Paul Johnson, November 9, 2000
It was known as "the War to end all Wars". The first world war is considered today as the event which has had the greatest social and political impact in the annals of human history. It has been estimated that more than 61.5 million soldiers from all nations took part in the war, of which 8.5 million were killed, 12.5 million received recoverable injuries, and 7 million were permanently injured.
The United States, which entered the war late, suffered among the fewest losses, at approximately 116,000. Nevertheless, the impact the war had upon Americans was great. President Wilson, who boasted that he would keep the United States out of the war, shocked the country with his request for war.
November 11, 1918 marked the official end of the war. One year later, President Wilson proclaimed November 11, 1919, as "Armistice Day". It was the first nationwide commemoration of the war.
On November 11, 1920, England laid to rest an unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey, a way to commemorate their losses in the war. France had carried a similar act the same year at the Arc de Triomphe.
On November 11, 1921, the United States followed-up with their own version. An unknown soldier, who had already been laid to rest at a cemetery in Europe, was selected and placed aboard a ship to Washington D.C. It was to fill the new "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". It was a much hyped and heralded event that received press coverage from coast-to-coast. Thousands of people flocked to see the body laying in state in the Capitol rotunda. There was a funeral procession down Pennsylvania Avenue. Each state sent in floral arrangements to adorn the tomb. President Harding laid a wreath of flowers on the casket. Taps was played. The casket was placed into the tomb at 11:00am. The President requested that all flags be flown at half-mast.
Though this event had been performed a year earlier in England and France, it had a more powerful effect among Americans. That single unknown soldier not only symbolized America's losses, but each American's losses and sacrifices in the war.
In the years following, 27 states had responded to that emotional event by adopting laws declaring November 11 as a legal holiday. The United States Congress reacted by enacting a resolution on June 4, 1926, asking the President to issue a proclaimation to display the nation's colors on all buildings on November 11. The resolution officially named the day, "Armistice Day".
On May 13, 1938, Congress enacted a new law that made Armistice Day a national holiday.
In 1947, just 2 years after the end of World War II, Raymond Weeks, organized a "Veterans Day" parade in Birmingham, AL, to celebrate all of America's veterans. In 1954, Kansas Representative Edwin K. Rees introduced a bill that would change the purpose of Armistice Day to honor veterans of all wars. On June 1, 1954, President Eisenhower signed the bill into law, officially renaming Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
Later that same year, on October 8, Eisenhower issued a proclaimation creating a new "Veterans Day National Committee" and naming the Administrator of the Department of Veterans Affairs as its coordinator. The Committee would be responsible for planning all national ceremonies and to set an example for state and local governments, as well as providing suggestions for Americans on how to celebrate Veterans Day.
On Memorial Day of 1958, two more unknown soldiers were reinterred along side the unknown soldier of World War I. One was a casualty of World War II and the other one of the Korean War. In 1973, a law was passed to add another unknown soldier from the Vietnam war, but none could be found until 1984.
In 1968, a law was passed to change the date of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. This was done to give Americans a three-day weekend, thus affording them time to visit cemeteries, engage in ceremonies, and visit veterans memorials. But other Americans felt that November 11 was too much of an important day to forget. Many states continued to observe November 11. In 1978, President Ford signed into law a bill that would restore November 11 as Veterans Day.
Today, the Veterans Day National Committee coordinates all federal ceremonies relating to Veterans Day. Every November 11, a ceremony is held in Arlington National Cemetery, at the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". The President recreates the original event by placing a wreath at the tomb, and Taps is played. The Committee coordinates similar ceremonies at "regional sites" across the country.
The Committee also prepares a school kit describing how schools should celebrate Veterans Day. Since 1978, the Committee has been hosting a poster contest, whereby highschool students are encouraged to create a poster commemorating Veterans Day. One winning poster from each state is selected, and from that group, one is selected as the national winner. The graphic at the top of this page is the 2000 national winner.

Programmers under the age of thirty probably don't realize why Aged Senile Programmers like me are so slow to adopt exciting new programming languages the day they come out, and why we roll our eyes at hip bandwagon ideas that sell books and consulting engagements (forgive me if I don't seem excited enough about your new book, "Extreme UML Refactoring Patterns").
It's probably because we read No Silver Bullet, a stunningly important essay from way back in 1986, by Frederick P. Brooks (he of Mythical Man-Month) that has proven again and again to be spot-on.
Programming consists of overcoming two things: accidental difficulties, things which are difficult because you happen to be using inadequate programming tools, and things which are actually difficult, which no programming tool or language is going to solve. An example of an accidental difficulty is manual memory management, e.g. "malloc" and "free," or the singleton classes people create in Java because they don't have top level functions. An example of something which is actually difficult is dealing with the subtle interactions between different parts of a program, for example, figuring out all the implications of a new feature that you just added.
Improvements in programming languages can eliminate accidental difficulties, but after you've done that, you're left with the actual complexity of software development, so the No Silver Bullet theory basically warns us to expect diminishing returns from new technologies. I'm not really doing justice to Brooks' argument, so if you haven't read No Silver Bullet recently, I would highly recommend it.
There have been about five great advances, since the 1950s, in eliminating accidental difficulties in programming. These are, very broadly:
- Assemblers
- Algebraic languages (including Fortran)
- Structured languages (Algol-60 and C)
- Declarative languages (including SQL)
- Memory-managed languages (including Lisp, VB, and Java)
So the question is, what's number 6?
Bruce Tate's book Beyond Java tries to address that, and does a good job of explaining why so many experienced Java programmers are getting fed up with that language and moving to Python and Ruby.
On page 56 and page 57, Steve Yegge, who didn't actually write the book, but plays an important walk-on role, bangs out the list. These are actually the most important two pages of the book, because these are the things that Python and Ruby (and, underappreciated, JavaScript) actually solve.
Although Stevey lists lots of accidental difficulties in Java, when you read the book, you will notice a theme, which seems to be that it's explicit typing, where the programmer is asked to declare the type of things, that leads to most of the problems. For example, the inability to express data in Java code is mostly just a side effect of the requirement that types be declared explicitly. Yes, there are other problems in Java, but this is The Big Hairy Problem right at the heart.
To a historian, it's starting to look like type declarations are one of those accidental difficulties that good programming languages can eliminate. Beyond Java is a good summary of the arguments and worth reading.

Loyal Order of Moose - LOOM
As seen in the photo above, the Moose no longer have an office of Dictator and the jewel, (this one nicely done in gold fill with a diamond chip for the Moose eye) is in fairly high demand. Moose teeth are not as common as Elks teeth for jewelry and there is not nearly the demand. The one on the far right is the most common design with a tooth that appears to have been ground down, front and back. This may have started out as an elks tooth or possibly the actual moose tooth was too large and ugly for mounting as it was. The center tooth is likely an actual moose tooth. The "tooth" on the far left is actually made of celluloid, an early plastic. Though it is marked "LOOM", the "tooth" is actually modeled after an elks tooth.
History of the Moose
The Moose was founded by Dr. John Henry Wilson and a group of his friends in 1888 in Louisville, Kentucky, as a social and drinking club to rival the Elks. While it remains essentially an American club, it changed its name to Moose International in 1991. The basic unit is the Lodge, which follows the pattern established by Masons: the Moose have club room or rooms, plus a Lodge room with an altar. The Moose confer an initiatory degree, and after six months membership, the member becomes eligible for the second degree, Moose Legion. A third degree or Fellowship Degree is awarded for service to the fraternity. The fourth and highest degree, that of Pilgrim, is honorific and is awarded to few Moose. The Moose make community service a strong component of their activities.
In 1989, the Loyal Order of Moose, under the direction of Moose Director General Paul J. O'Hollaren, changed the official regalia of the Moose Fraternity. Gone were the ceremonial robes, collars and distinctive tasselled headgear called "Tah." The Order used colors to reflect the hierarchical achievements of its members: those who reached the level of Pilgrim Degree of Merit were distinguished by gold blazers with insignia patch, lapel pin, black gabardine trousers and striped necktie; blue jackets adorned those at the Fellowship Degree, with lapel pin and striped tie; and maroon, with lapel pin and striped necktie for those ranked as Moose Legionnaires.
These members, of the Loyal Order of Moose and the Women of the Moose, over 1.8 million members strong (2003), make up the two components of the fraternal organization known as Moose International. Their membership is held in any one of 2,100 Lodges and 1,600 Chapters throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Bermuda.
Moose International headquarters is approximately 38 miles west of Chicago at Mooseheart, Illinois. Men's Lodges and the Ladies Chapters across the fraternity contribute to Moose-sponsored programs such as Mooseheart, the 1,200 - acre Illinois home and school for children in need. Moosehaven, a retirement home for Moose and their wives, was founded in 1922 on the banks of the St. John's River at Orange Park, 14 miles south of Jacksonville, Florida. There are more than 30 buildings on about 60 acres of land, with more than a third of a mile of river frontage. "Every resident whose physical condition will permit is assigned to some daily duty usually not to exceed three hours," and everyone receives a monthly allowance. Those no longer able to work are called "Sunshiners." Their job is to sit in rocking chairs in the sun, and smile at passers-by. There is a well-equipped 150 bed hospital, in addition to many other facilities.
Aside from Mooseheart and Moosehaven, Moose Lodges also support a number of health oriented charities, such as the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, Heart Fund, Cancer Crusade, Cerebral Palsy, and much more. Many Lodges are also active in highway safety, Boys and Girl Scouting, civil defense cooperation and local community activities of all kinds.
Moose Legion Trivia
[1] The Moose Legion has been known as: Mooseheart Legions of
the World, Legion of the Moose and Moose Legion.
Why The "Moose?"
Why the Moose? That's a question that really consists of two parts: First, why was this particular animal chosen to represent a humanitarian fraternal order, and secondly, why would a person or a family seek to become a member of it.
The first answer is fairly straightforward: The Moose is a large, powerful animal, but one which is a protector not a predator. We think it was perhaps said best in our former enrollment ceremony:
"He takes only what he needs, nothing more . . . yet for his great size and strength he lives in peace with other creatures. The moose uses his size and power not to dominate but to protect, not to spoil but to preserve. He is a fierce protector, a loyal companion, and a generous provider who brings comfort and security to those within his defending circle."
It is these characteristics of the moose in the wild–the protective instinct for its young, and for the old and infirm in its herd–that the human members of the Moose fraternity have, for decades, modeled, in the establishment and operation of Mooseheart, the organization's community and school for children and teens in need; and Moosehaven, the retirement community for Moose men and women; as well as in service to its communities.
As for the second question–why would people seek membership? . . .
Fellowship and Fun for Members
Approximately 1.6 million men and women have found reasons to join the Family Fraternity and enjoy all the benefits a Lodge has to offer. Because of the Moose Lodges' not-for-profit status, its services can be offered to members for very reasonable prices. Here are just a few reasons why membership in the Moose might benefit you:
Do you and your spouse have dinner out a time or two per month? Or, would you like to, but don't feel you can afford it? Take a look at a local Lodge. Nearly every Lodge offers frequent dinners at prices much less than you'd pay at any local, sit-down restaurant.
If you're the parent or guardian of school-age children, do you ever stop in an arcade at the local mall to let them enjoy some video games or pinball machines? We know of many Moose Lodges where the kids can play the very same games for one quarter instead of two, and some Lodges where - as often as once or twice a week - the games are free!
Do you enjoy golf, bowling, billiards, or darts, but find that it's getting a little expensive to test your skills at the local course, hall or bowling alley? Again, Moose membership offers many opportunities to join in these activities for less money than at commercial establishments.
Where do you and your friends meet to socialize and spend time together? Are most places you meet overcrowded and overpriced? Moose Lodges provide a hub for social interaction, a place for friends and fellowship.
These are just a few examples, and there are many more. In fact, the emphasis of such activities sparked the beginning of the Moose Family Center, changing from the old traditional facility centered around male-only socializing to a full program of Family Activities planned for the Lodge.
Membership provides the opportunity to participate in several international sports programs hosted by Lodges and Chapters throughout the fraternity. Tournaments and leagues for bowling, mixed bowling, golf, darts, softball, horseshoes and pool are organized by Moose International. With approximately 500,000 members participating in member sports programs last year, Moose sports promote recreational and social opportunities through competitive participation.
While the leagues and tournaments are extremely competitive, Moose sports are all about fun. They offer a chance to meet new people and interact with fellow Moose members. By recognizing top performers and providing local leagues and tournaments, Moose sports programs offer an entirely different member benefit for those who choose to participate.

The artifacts awaiting their place in the Sept. 11 museum sit in storage — crushed emergency vehicles, dust-covered purses, a giant steel column covered with victims' pictures. Now, voices will bring them to life.
There's the recorded voice of FDNY retiree Peter Bondy, who put Sept. 11 firefighter Jonathan Ielpi's picture on the 62-ton "last column" at the ruined World Trade Center site in 2002.
And John Abruzzo, a quadriplegic, telling how he was carried down 69 stories of the north tower by his colleagues in a special wheelchair.
And Michele and John Cartier, siblings talking about how they found each other in the chaos before the towers fell, and about their brother, James, who did not make it out.
These are among hundreds of Sept. 11 stories — taped remembrances, even podcasts playing on the Internet — being collected by museum planners who want to connect physical relics of the nation's worst terrorist attack to memory.
Hope for special meaning
They hope the multimedia library — already containing more than 800 oral histories — will have special meaning in what has already become one of the most exhaustively documented events ever.
"This is a story that one-third of the world's population lived through in real time," museum director Alice Greenwald says. "We can't tell people what they already know. There are so many living witnesses."
When the museum opens — by 2012 at the earliest — visitors may be able to listen to a firefighter's account of removing the memento-covered steel column while looking at it. There will be a library in the museum where visitors can find stories by computer and listen.
Some survivors waited years to tell their stories and then spent several hours leaving no detail out, chief curator Jan Ramirez says. Their stories often focus on sense memories: the smell in the air, the struggle to see through smoke. One woman saw glass popping from one of the huge trade center towers and likened it to a run quickly forming on a stocking.
Michele Cartier told her story a month ago. She and her brother, James, each worked in a trade center tower. Her building, the north tower, was hit by a hijacked plane first. Cartier, an administrative coordinator at an investment brokerage, began walking 40 flights down. She tried calling James and couldn't get through. It was hot, a little smoky.
"We just kept going down. I don't even remember where we exited," she says.
On the street — Church Street, on the east side of the trade center — she saw another brother, John. She had no idea why he was there. James had called him and told him to find Michele and he came on his motorcycle. Before a plane hit his building.
Brother vanished
They looked and looked for their brother.
"We waited in the crowd trying to find him, praying. Anyone that looked similar to James, I'd scream out his name," she said.
The south tower collapsed, and the siblings ran, tearing John's T-shirt to form small masks to breathe through the sooty air.
Seven years later, Cartier, now 37, thinks James somehow is responsible for John finding her in the crowd and helping her to survive.
"The chances of me finding John in a crowd of thousands was just an act of God," she said. "John was there to help me and James was the instrument that got John there."
James Cartier, 26, was trying to evacuate from the 105th floor of the south tower when it collapsed.
The memorial foundation has been posting excerpts of some of the oral histories on its Web site. Not all of them are about the day itself.
They include Alison and Jefferson Crowther's reminiscences of their son, 24-year-old Welles, known to survivors as "the man in the red bandanna" helping them leave the north tower. In an oral history recorded through the nonprofit StoryCorps project, Crowther's parents remembered bungee jumping with Welles and riding on Space Mountain at Disney World.
Ramirez said several firefighters are now being interviewed to match their stories with a room of crushed fire trucks in storage at an airport hangar.
Then there is Abruzzo, an accountant at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who evacuated the trade center twice — after the 1993 truck bombing that killed six people and on Sept. 11, 2001.
It took six hours for Abruzzo, who was in an electric wheelchair, to get down the stairs in 1993. On Sept. 11, the Port Authority had a portable wheelchair on hand in case he ever needed to evacuate.
Ten of his colleagues took turns taking him down 69 stories; two in the front, two in the back.
"They would alternate and some of the stairways were tight," he remembered. No one knew what had happened or that the other tower had collapsed. "I don't remember a sense of urgency, panic," he said. "We stopped at a Snapple machine."
Five minutes after Abruzzo and his friends got outside, the north tower collapsed.
The wheelchair that carried him down is a permanent exhibit at the museum.

Baby Blue Cinabre Flowery Bow Tie
The exclusive Cinabre Flower pattern was designed in our Parisian studio and printed in Italy, in a workshop close to the Lake Como. This bow tie was carefully handcrafted by CINABRE artisans in France, following the same techniques for 3 generations.
The fabric is a heavy silk twill of 130g/m2. The main colour is baby blue, with turquoise flowers and hints of white. The bow tie is lined with a red CINABRE silk twill.
The bow tie you will receive will be tied already and ready to use. It is an authentic bow tie which means you will have the opportunity - if you want - to untie your bow tie and tie it again your own way. To learn how to tie a bow tie, have a look here.
To make your bow tie even more unique, a name or initials and a date can be handwritten on the label.
You can personalize the label of your bow tie with a handwritten name (or initials) and date.
This personal touch is not visible when you're wearing the bow tie, as it is on the label sewn onto the inner lining.
Please indicate what information you would like to include during the checkout procedure, after choosing the delivery method.
You can customize this bow tie by choosing to have it made without CINABRE's signature red lining. The lining will then be made from the same fabric as the bow tie. To do so, select the
classic bespoke bow tie style.
Allow about two or three weeks for preparation.

Moon Rise by Cave Point
Moon rise can be as beautiful and dramatic as a sun rise. And the best part, you don't need to wake up early ;-) This was from a lovely night at Door County, Wisconsin. The moon rise did kind of mess up with enjoying the milky way, but the dramatic light, compensated for it.
The moon light was so bright, that it lit up the entire cliff. Had lot of fun with trying out some fun compositions like this. Even a shooting star (Draconid) decided to accompany us.


text: One infallible truth remains at the close of 2013's music festival season: Geography's a bitch. Events like South by Southwest or CMJ Music Marathon, which started last week in New York City and wrapped on Saturday, drive this point home at 80 miles per hour, as rushing to every set you want to see results in some maniacal game of venue hopscotch into the wee hours of the morning on a Wednesday. It's tough and gets better with practice, but at the end of the day, a successful CMJ experience is one where you were able to discover new favorite bands while revisiting your favorites, where you walk away with an iPhone full of notes to yourself, lyrics you found inspiring, or a new act from Australia you'll keep tabs on until they roll through the US again. These are a few of our favorite things from CMJ 2013, and they were well worth lapping between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan over the course of the past few long, loud days. More
