Version 21 of the Handbook was published on 6 December 2018. For more information, please click "History" above.
When you hold money in a client account for a client, or for a person funding all or part of your fees, or for a trust, you must account to the client or that person or trust for interest when it is fair and reasonable to do so in all the circumstances. (This also applies if money should have been held in a client account but was not. It also applies to money held in an account in accordance with rule 15.1(a) (or which should have been held in such an account), or rule 16.1(d).)
are not required to pay interest:
on money held for the payment of a professional disbursement, once counsel etc. has requested a delay in settlement;
on money held for the Legal Aid Agency;
on an advance from you under rule 14.2(b) to fund a payment on behalf of the client or trust in excess of funds held for that client or trust; or
if there is an agreement to contract out of the provisions of this rule under rule 25.
must have a written policy on the payment of interest, which seeks to provide a fair outcome. The terms of the policy must be drawn to the attention of the client at the outset of a retainer, unless it is inappropriate to do so in the circumstances.
Guidance notes
Requirement to pay interest
Money is normally held for a client as a necessary, but incidental, part of the retainer, to facilitate the carrying out of the client's instructions. The main purpose of the rules is to keep that money safe and available for the purpose for which it was provided. The rules also seek to provide for the payment of a fair sum of interest, when appropriate, which is unlikely to be as high as that obtainable by the client depositing those funds.
An outcomes-focused approach has been adopted in this area, allowing firms the flexibility to set their own interest policies in order to achieve a fair outcome for both the client and the firm.
In addition to your obligation under rule 22.3, it is good practice to explain your interest arrangements to clients. These will usually be based on client money being held in an instant access account to facilitate a transaction. Clients are unlikely to receive as much interest as might have been obtained had they held and invested the money themselves. A failure to explain the firm's policy on interest may lead to unrealistic expectations and, possibly, a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman.
The Legal Services Act 2007 has abolished the distinction in the Solicitors Act 1974 between interest earned on client money held in a general client account or a separate designated client account, meaning that interest earned on the latter type of account is, in theory, to be accounted for like interest on any other client money on a "fair and reasonable" basis. In practice, however, a firm which wishes to retain any part of the interest earned on client money will need to hold that money in a general client account and continue to have interest paid to the office account (see rule 12.7(b)). The tax regime still treats interest arising on money held in a separate designated client account as belonging to the client, and requires banks to deduct tax at source from that interest (subject to the tax status of the individual client) and credit the interest to the separate designated client account. This makes it impracticable for firms to retain any part of the interest earned on a separate designated client account.
Some firms may wish to apply a de minimis by reference to the amount held and period for which it was held, for example, providing that no interest is payable if the amount calculated on the balance held is £20 or less. Any de minimis will need to be set at a reasonable level and regularly reviewed in the light of current interest rates.
It is likely to be appropriate for firms to account for all interest earned in some circumstances, for example, where substantial sums of money are held for lengthy periods of time.
If sums of money are held in relation to separate matters for the same client, it is normally appropriate to treat the money relating to the different matters separately but there may be cases when the matters are so closely related that they ought to be considered together, for example, when you are acting for a client in connection with numerous debt collection matters. Similarly, it may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances to aggregate sums of money held intermittently during the course of acting for a client.
There is no requirement to pay interest on money held on instructions under rule 15.1(a) in a manner which attracts no interest.
Accounts opened in the client's name under rule 15.1(b) (whether operated by you or not) are not subject to rule 22, as the money is not held by you. All interest earned belongs to the client. The same applies to any account in the client's own name operated by you as signatory under rule 10.
Interest policy (rule 22.3)
It is important that your clients should be aware of the terms of your interest policy. This should normally be covered at the outset of a retainer, although it may be unnecessary where you have acted for the client previously. It is open to you and your client to agree that interest will be dealt with in a different way (see rule 25).
Unpresented cheques
A client may fail to present a cheque to his or her bank for payment. Whether or not it is reasonable to recalculate the amount due will depend on all the circumstances of the case. A reasonable charge may be made for any extra work carried out if you are legally entitled to make such a charge.
Liquidators, trustees in bankruptcy, Court of Protection deputies and trustees of occupational pension schemes
Under rule 8, Part 3 of the rules does not normally apply to liquidators, etc. You must comply with the appropriate statutory rules and regulations, and rule 8.3 and 8.4 as appropriate.
Joint accounts
Under rule 9, Part 3 of the rules does not apply to joint accounts. If you hold money jointly with a client, interest earned on the account will be for the benefit of the client unless otherwise agreed. If money is held jointly with another practice, the allocation of interest earned will depend on the agreement reached.
Failure to pay interest
A client, including one of joint clients, or a person funding all or part of your fees, may complain to the Legal Ombudsman if he or she believes that interest was due and has not been paid, or that the amount paid was insufficient. It is advisable for the client (or other person) to try to resolve the matter with you before approaching the Legal Ombudsman.

Disaster Hotline toll free at 1-888-835-9966 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The money that is collected will be sent to the other states to use for their immediate needs. The N.C. Helping Neighbors Fund is managed by the Governor's Office in partnership with United Way of North Carolina. There is no administrative cost associated with the fund, and 100 percent of the donated funds will go to the victims. Make checks payable to the N.C. Helping Neighbors Fund and mail to:

As we become more diverse, global and transparent it is clear that being emotionally sensitive to others is a critical skill. In fact, some of the conflicts that we have witnessed over the last several months likely stem from lack of understanding and emotional connection with those we are called to interact with. Many personal conflicts could be minimized or avoided if more EQ was used.
In our research for Transglobal Leadership, we discovered that having a high degree of EQ is directly linked to leadership success. I have asked Bob Anderson, a leading expert in the area of emotional i

'The Anniversary'
by Bill MacIlwraith
7:30pm Thursday 19th - Saturday 21st April, 2012
Directed by Alan Ward
Felpham Village Hall
It's South London in the sixties and it's Mum's anniversary; the only trouble is Dad has been dead for a few years but she insists her family still mark the occasion and woe betide you if you don't do as she says.
Her three sons are employed in the family business, a less than reputable building firm, whose only interest is to put up houses as fast as possible and turn a quick buck, only trouble is they are just as likely to come down again just as quickly.
However there is revolt in the air tonight as Terry, her middle son, wants to up sticks and emigrate to Canada with his wife Karen and their five children. Tom, her youngest, has arrived with his latest girlfriend Shirley on his arm and they've got big news for Mum. But Mums not having any of it; manipulative, cunning, hypocritical and sometimes just darn right rude and those are just her good points!
With an air of charm and emotional blackmail, Mum uses every weapon in her armoury to get her own way (Or does she?)! Amidst all this is Henry, the eldest, who has his own kinky secret. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and at times cringe-worthy; The Anniversary is a dark/black comedy in every sense of the word.
"What a fast-moving play that was!
Well done everyone, from author onwards.
Thank you for a memorable evening"

This was a very polished production that generated strong ticket sales, I'm pleased to say. The play was brilliantly directed with great attention to detail and finely interpreted both in style and format with plenty of activity taking place on a well constructed set that was furnished according to the life style depicted. The cast were attired in appropriate costumes and all achieved excellent characterisation. Sue Bartlett (mum) was superb as the original impossible mother who was never going to like anyone her sons chose to marry. She held them entirely under her control with her determination and vitriolic tongue. She took over the stage whenever she appeared which was very frequent. All three of her sons Matthew Hughes-Short (Tom), Trevor Roman (Henry) and Clive Curtis (Terry) portrayed their very different characters exceptionally well. All showed the different affects that an overbearing and overpowering woman had had on their lives. Deborah Amor (Karen, wife of Terry) gave an equally great performance as the unhappy mother of five whose only wish was to emigrate as far away as possible. She finished up getting stronger and stronger making me hope that she would win her battle. Last but not least Deborah Addicott (Shirley) the new fiancé stood her ground showing the sons to be the pathetic wimps that they had become. All six of this cast are to be truly congratulated. Alan Ward must be very proud of everyone both on and off stage for achieving such a high standard.

Well, finally i'm up to fifty comics, though my computer tried hard to stop me. If you're wondering why I haven't got this one up before now, It's largely because I had another idea for the 50th comic, but then decided it'd be better suited to the 100th if I get there, ecause I need to wait until I introduce the new characters (SPOILERS!).
Yay 50 comics
Wait.. how did they escape?
Nathan's hand cramped up while he was drawing Emily's mother. In the confusion that followed, they escaped.
Yeah, yeah, I know... I'm going to work on the escaping story thing over the weekend. Starting Monday, we will see how they escape. It will, however, involve the explosives that Blake found beforehand (go back to the forty-sixth comic if you don't remember that)

SHANGHAI, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- China's first import expo offers opportunities for UNICEF to better partner with businesses to address challenges faced by children around the world, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Shanelle Hall said in Shanghai.
"It was exciting to be at the expo with thousands of businesses and prominent government officials from around the world -- all important stakeholders for children," said Hall in an interview with Xinhua during the ongoing China International Import Expo (CIIE).
The week-long expo attracted over 400,000 purchasers and 3,600 companies from across the globe, including top pharmaceutical companies and other manufacturers of children-related products, which drew attention from UNICEF under its ever-growing collaboration with international businesses.
In 2017, UNICEF procured goods and services worth 3.46 billion U.S. dollars to supply 150 countries and areas, including vaccines and biologicals, nutrition and pharmaceuticals. "Businesses have always been a part in our story," Hall said.
Hall said she was attracted by health technologies such as emerging diagnostics and products related to children's development like high-tech toys.
"We love to see the inventions and pursuit by the thousands of businesses here," said Hall, who noted that "learning" was one of their purposes of attending the CIIE, also regarding the expo as a good platform for UNICEF to search for items for procurement.
In Hall's eyes, China's further opening-up will introduce more innovations for children into the Chinese market, help local businesses think differently and bring up more new solutions to better meet the needs for children around the world.
Hall attended a forum themed "Leading innovation collaborations to build the future of children everywhere" held by UNICEF Tuesday as a side event of CIIE.
Hall said holding such a forum during CIIE can also help "influence more enterprises to prioritize children in their business decisions."
"We are here as it is a valuable opportunity to network with and influence Chinese and global businesses to contribute toward meeting the needs of children in China and across the world," she said.
"Like CIIE, which not only bring products and service, the forum should come up with new ideas and new solutions in the long term," said Zhang Yi, an official with China's Ministry of Commerce at the forum, noting that China has been encouraging more businesses to participate in protecting women and children, and will keep working in joint efforts with UNICEF.
Haier, one of the world's largest electronic groups, has produced containers powered by solar panels, which can store vaccines at their proper temperatures for five days to address electricity shortages in remote areas.
"Now we can ensure the safety of 120,000 such vaccines," said Dr. Liu Zhanjie, executive director and general manager of Qingdao Haier Biomedical, at the forum.
"Given China's ever-growing capacity for innovation, as well as production of commodities, UNICEF is excited to grow its partnership with Chinese businesses," said Hall.

7 Movie Mentors Who Failed Miserably
The desire for a mentor is deep-seated in the human race. Someone to teach hand-to-hand combat and ancient ninja skills so that we can go on to save the universe would be great, but most people would settle for some guidance with their daily whomp-rat hunting or help teaching bullies a lesson or two.
However, after really taking a look at mentors through a totally unbiased lens (movies), we think we might have to change our minds. Obviously if mentors used their awesome powers to save everyone and never gave their mentees a chance, the movies would get boring and pointless. But did they really have to intentionally withhold universe-saving powers and information in order to teach a lesson to a snot-nosed kid who hardly knows a Sarlacc from a hole in the ground?
Yoda (from the original Star Wars Trilogy)
We've (unfortunately) seen from the prequels that Yoda can really kick some bad-Jedi butt when he puts his mind to it. He's fought off hoards of them over the course of his lifetime. In fact, only nineteen or so years previous to the original trilogy, we see him flying all over the place in so-physically-impossible-only-CGI-could-make-it-happen ways.
If Yoda really is nine hundred years old, nineteen years is nothing. That would be like two in human years. Living things don't, in general, flip around like gymnasts on meth and then two years later hobble around like cripples one breath away from paraplegia. Aging doesn't exactly work like that.
The point is this: Yoda let Luke go off to fight Darth Vader, the most dangerous and evil person in the history of ever, after making the kid run half a mile and do some one-handed vertical pushups instead of, say, going himself. Yoda's got nine centuries of Jedi goodness flowing through his veins, Vader's got about forty years, and Luke has about five minutes. No matter how much you, as a mentor, are vested in your pupil's success, you might not want to risk millions of innocent lives and the fate of the universe on his ability to make a pouty face (which is about all he has going for him given his limited training).
Falcor (from The Neverending Story)
Okay, so Falcor is more of an oversized sparkling puppy with creepy eyes than a true mentor, but he's close enough for our purposes.
Over the course of The Neverending Story, luck dragon Falcor manages to fly in the face of the Nothing, the most powerful force inside Bastian's head. We even see him as one of the last existing creatures after the rest of the imaginary world falls apart, able to survive after even the world itself is little more than dust. And all of this because, as a luck dragon, he has the power to (mostly) show up just in the nick of time.
So riddle us this: wouldn't it have been a lot luckier if all of that bad stuff hadn't happened in the first place? Sure, Bastian had to learn to trust himself and that he had power, blah, blah, blah, but wouldn't it have been so much easier if Falcor had just flown into the human world (as he demonstrates that he can, when he traumatizes those unfortunate-looking bullies at the end), grabbed Bastian, and whisked him away to Fantasia without all the dying, crying and heart-wrenching despair? Admit it; you know you cried a little when the horse sank into the Swamps of Sorrow.
Gandalf (from the Lord of the Rings trilogy)
Now here's a deus ex machina if ever there was one. We're not going to say that Tolkien isn't a genius who changed the face of fantastical fiction forever, and invented several genres single-handedly in the process. However, the character of Gandalf seems to have been used to tidy things up just a tad too conveniently.
The guy can fight a giant fire-rock-monster-demon for weeks, without stopping to eat, drink, or sleep, and come out on the other side of it with a snazzy new hairdo. He can use his staff to make a bright light, and talk to moths, and probably a bunch of other cool things. So why doesn't he just leap onto an eagle, fly to Mordor himself, and dispose of the ring instead of making everyone's life suck?
He hides behind this thing that he's got bigger plans than to save all of humanity, elvendom, dwarf-race and hobbithood from enslavement and genocide. You kind of want to tell him to man up already. Turning a hairy-footed child into a hero who's so screwed up by the end that he has to take the elf-boat to lala-land is just not worth seeing what the poor guy "is made of".
Fin Raziel (from Willow)
Granted, when Willow Ufgood discovered the good witch, she was quite unfortunately turned into some sort of big-tailed rat creature, (no, not an opossum, thank you very much Wikipedia making it possibly hard to wield any of her usual powers. But was her best bet really to turn to a farmer with no magical training whatsoever?
Seriously. The whole of the world is in danger of being taken over by the evil Bavmorda, and instead of seeking out a real wizard (and we know from earlier scenes that such powerful wizards exist), Fin Raziel puts all her money on a man who has little more going for him than a "big heart." She's not a star example of wizardry herself, leading the whole magical battle to be decided by Willow's silly little magic trick of hiding a baby under a table. A trick which Fin Raziel didn't even teach him, come to think of it, and that Bavmorda only fell for because apparently she has the attention span of a gnat. You almost wonder if things wouldn't have been better if Fin Raziel hadn't been involved at all.

Tarot Sola Busca review by medusawink
The Sola Busca Tarot was created in Italy in the late 15th century, by an unknown artist stop it takes its name from the Sola-Busca family of Milan, who for a long time possessed the only known copy of the deck. In 1907 a set of photographs of the complete Sola Busca Tarot came into the possession of the British Museum. These images were undoubtedly seen by Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Coleman Smith, and had a profound influence on the structure and imagery of the Waite Smith deck.
Studies have revealed that the deck's images have been created through copper engraving techniques, and later coloured in tempera. Some of the original images featured highlights in silver and gold, particularly on shields and coats of arms. These coat-of-arms devices may have referenced the family ... read more reviews.

In a sponsorship management world that is constantly evolving and can often be difficult to navigate, time means everything.
The proper handling of a sponsorship deal effectively requires teamwork and necessitates that both sides of the partnership remain on the same page in order for success to be achieved.
SponServe has emerged as the frontrunner in providing sponsorship management solutions. Not only has the Australia-based software firm saved clients an average of 54 percent of the time spent each week managing sponsorship deals, but the platform has bumped up client confidence that the job is being done correctly by 78 percent, which, in turn has led to a 31 percent increase in revenue growth for clients.
But while money matters, the sponsorship management landscape has experienced a shift from clients focusing solely on their return on investment to instead placing greater emphasis on their return on objective.
Rather than viewing sponsorship strictly as a financial means to an end, SponServe's top Australian and European sporting organizations, which includes six Premier League franchises, now use sponsorship as a strategic tool to align with the objectives that their marketing campaigns are constructed around.
The results speak for themselves.
"The brands are really starting to trigger to the fact that sponsorship allows you to access an audience in a much deeper way that you can't reach through other channels – just through standard advertising and promotion and PR," said SponServe managing director Mark Thompson. "You're not going to get the engagement with a sports fan that you will by engaging with their favorite thing in the world – that being their sports team."
Ensuring that the partnership between rights holders and sponsors remains intact and runs effectively is where SponServe enters the equation.
Book A SponServe Demonstration Today
As opposed to years past when sponsorships were managed through a spreadsheet-based process, in which important details often fell through the cracks, SponServe offers clients a more effective way of doing business.
SponServe effectively tracks sponsorship measurables with much more accuracy and precision than before. In a market where departments within a rights holders group need to be able to make certain all of the boxes remained checked and that tasks are completed, sponsorship managers were left to rely on only spreadsheets that were never built to handle that kind of workload.
Now, all of that has changed thanks to SponServe's way of doing business.
"What SponServe does is it helps you track what you are meant to be doing for your partners and helps you understand what success looks like for that brand and how each individual benefit is aligning to their objectives," Thompson said.
In order for everything to fall into place, however, the partnering relationship has to be built and managed correctly, Thompson said. If done the right way, a relationship that was once transactional becomes more personal and allows for better results for everyone involved.
Establishing the right kind of partnership remains critical.
As the relationship between the rights holder and sponsor begins, the initial step is truly understanding what that sponsor is looking for. Objectives might include brand awareness, better positioning the brand, networking, building an audience, building and establishing better business relationships, engaging the community the brand is seeking to serve and establishing better leads and generating sales.
To best understand the objective, however, it becomes vital to first comprehend what a brand's current marketing efforts look like, what made the right holder's organization an attractive option to work with as opposed to a competitor striving for the same results and perhaps most importantly, what a successful venture working together might look like.
Once rights holders and a prospective sponsor establish a relationship in which one side understands the role of the other, creating a mutual understanding around the strategic selection of benefits becomes increasingly important. If used correctly, SponServe can be integrated to produce engaging offerings that will drive far better results for sponsors.
But before those results are agreed upon, it is critical to learn whether the brand actually has the ability or the mechanisms in place to make such results possible in the first place.
One important facet is to determine ahead of time if the total value of the benefits that the rights holder can provide, versus what the brand is willing to contribute financially. But equally important is the rights holder's understanding of what the costs of servicing such benefits will entail.
Managing this sponsorship requires proper planning, but executing the partnership also means overseeing the details. SponServe takes much of the worry out of that process in ways that spreadsheets never could. Rather than constantly stressing over making sure every aspect of sponsorship management is seen to, SponServe's system manages the relationship in real time.
Having assurances that everything is being taken care of, SponServe's clients, insist, makes all the difference.
"Just having that centralized point where we know exactly where all of the information is, just makes life so much easier," said a representative from the Western Bulldogs of the Australian Football League. "Also, improving the accuracy of tracking deliverables and receiving reminders means that nothing gets missed and, again, that gives us great peace of mind."
"This single source of truth tells us exactly what has been delivered and what's left and it is so much more efficient than anything in the past."

The Super Bowl is still more than two weeks away, but the NFL has its head official picked out.
Football Zebras' Ben Austro was the first to report that six-year referee Clete Blakeman will be the head official of Super Bowl 50.
The scoop is noteworthy, as Blakeman has a history of some questionable calls on the field, and it has New England Patriots fans flipping out.
Most recently, Blakeman botched the initial overtime coin-flip in the Packers-Cardinals divisional playoff game on Saturday night. As Blakeman went to flip for first possession, the coin didn't actually flip, and Blakeman had to flip the coin again amid upset players. It was obviously a big moment, as on the next flip, the Arizona Cardinals won, got possession, scored, and ended the game.
It wasn't Blakeman's first coin-flip incident. In Week 15, during an overtime flip between the New York Jets and the Patriots, Blakeman was involved in a bizarre scenario in which the Patriots chose to kick the ball instead of receive in overtime. Though Bill Belichick reportedly told Patriots captain Matthew Slater to choose a kickoff, many people felt that Blakeman perhaps jumped the gun by immediately asking Slater, "Do you want to kick off?" perhaps catching Slater off guard.
But Blakeman has a further history with the Patriots. He also officiated the 2014 AFC championship game between the Patriots and Indianapolis Colts — aka the Deflategate game. Blakeman's name was mentioned extensively in the Ted Wells report as the official who took the air pressure of the balls. Many people felt that Blakeman's tests were inaccurate, as only four of the Colts' balls were tested, compared to all of the Patriots' balls.
(Roger Steinman/AP)
Additionally, Blakeman officiated a game between the Patriots and Carolina Panthers in 2013, when Tom Brady threw a game-ending interception, only to have a flag thrown. Instead, the refs gathered and decided to take away the flag, thus ending the game as the Panthers won. Brady notoriously freaked out on Blakeman over the play.
Though the Patriots still have to beat the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game, fans are already worried about Blakeman's potential impact on the Super Bowl.
A WEEI story on the report got posted to Reddit, with one user saying, "This is the same guy from the carolina game a few years back. NFL and goodell not even trying to hide it anymore." Another user added, "Why is it so insane to think the NFL front office is sitting down picking and choosing officials they think will call the game a certain way. The NFL DOES NOT want the patriots and Brady to win this SB."
The Boston Herald's Jeff Howe tweeted a stat about Blakeman-officiated Patriots games, and users had similar thoughts:
Patriots are 2-4 with Blakeman as the ref, including that Monday night loss to the Panthers in 2013. https://t.co/xAeVuO8pZf — Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) January 20, 2016
@jeffphowe Did NFL assign only 2 refs Pats have losing records with to the next 2 games? #RefAssignmentGate — Rob McDonagh (@RobMcDonagh) January 20, 2016
Another user pointed out that Ed Hochuli will be reffing the Patriots-Broncos game:
@jeffphowe what a joke the NFL is. Lol. Denver has never lost a game officiated by Hoch in Denver and now Blakeman in SB50? Smh — Joel Guerrero (@joelguerrero) January 20, 2016
Other users are upset with the decision:
@WEEI #patriots #nfl "hey Clete, cover us on this deflategate fiasco and we'll let you work superbowl!?" — Frederick Penney (@rpenney22) January 20, 2016
@cpriceNFL so this is their plan B? If the Pats put up too many points and get past Houchli, they'll stop them at the SB. #FireGoodell — BostonChic'2015 (@Bostonchick2014) January 20, 2016
@cpriceNFL NFL is so obvious in their attempt to A. Make sure PM gets to the SB & B. The Patriots lose. Houchili then Cleteman. @nflcommish — sara (@saraturner19) January 20, 2016
Given past incidents, Patriots fans seem to have a long-running disdain for Blakeman. A Patriots fan forum called Pats Fans published a post in August 2015, "Clete Blakeman is Bad News for the Patriots," expressing concern over Blakeman reffing a Patriots game ... during the preseason.
It's worth noting, however, that according to Austro, officials in the Super Bowl are chosen by their ranks, as determined by Dean Blandino, vice president of officiating. Austro says that accuracy on calls is a big factor here, and the NFL recently backed Blakeman's work after the Cardinals-Packers coin-flip controversy.
Others have come to the defense of Blakeman, like SI's Peter King:
Nice scoop, Ben Austro. I think Blakeman's a good ref. Good presence. Good control of game. https://t.co/6tf3O5jiNH — Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) January 20, 2016
Patriots fans still aren't relieved, however:
@SI_PeterKing @footballzebras he's evil. This is the NFL poking the Patriots. — Sean O'Connor (@ImSeanO) January 20, 2016
It's silly, of course, to think that this is a move by the NFL to lessen the Patriots' chances of winning the Super Bowl, if they even get there.
But given the history between Blakeman and the Patriots, there won't be a shortage of storylines should they make it back.

I have just a few more examples of projects stenciled with Frosted Glass Spray to share with you today. Part II of our look at stenciling with frosted glass spray includes two cupboards and a table. Each of these three makeovers was accomplished using a reverse stenciling technique. If you missed Part I, you can find it here.
Fine Diving: Stenciled Cupboard
Diana, of Fine Diving, gave this small cupboard a big makeover, inside and out. She used Krylon Frosted Glass Finish and masks to reverse stencil a leaf pattern onto its mirrored front.
Three Birds Life: Faux Frosted Glass
Carolyn, of Three Birds Life, used Rustoleum's Frosted Glass spray and a reverse stenciling technique to hide away items stored in her bathroom cupboard.
The Purple Pea: Frosted Doily Table
Kristina, of The Purple Pea, stenciled this adorable side table using frosted glass spray and a doily as a stencil. This project would have been a great addition to our Stenciling with Doilies series back in November, if only I'd found it sooner!

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAPITOL CITY QUILT GUILDPurpose: The Capitol City Quilt Guild (CCQG) was organized in March, 1984, to encourage fellowship, cooperation and learning among are quilters and to promote public appreciation for creativity and high standards in quilting.
Monthly Meetings: Guild meetings are held monthly at Union Missionary Baptist Church, 500 South Martin Luther King Boulevard, Lansing on the third Thursday of each month. Doors open at 6:30 pm social time is between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm and the meeting begins at 7:00 p.m.The Guild year runs from May to April 30.
Programs: Monthly programs are presented by the Guild members or outside speakers. When the Guild has a speaker, guests are asked for a $3.00 donation at the door. Workshops by the speaker are often scheduled on the Friday and Saturday after the program, and the cost is subsidized by the Guild. A fee is assessed for participation in a workshop.
Election of Officers: Election of officers takes place each year at the April meeting. New officers and committee chairs take office in May. If interested in coming on the Board, please contact the Vice President either by email at email@example.com or at the Vice President`s table.

The newsletter is either mailed to members who wish to receive it that way, or can be read at the Guild web site: http://capitolcityquiltguild.org/newsletters.php. Contributions of articles and information are welcome. The newsletter deadline for contributions is the 1st of each even numbered month.

Vice President`s Table: All guests are encouraged to stop at the welcome table to learn more about the guild. Meet some members there and learn about our meetings, small groups, community activities and other Guild projects and events.
President`s Block: President`s blocks are created by guild members and given to the outgoing President each year at the April meeting. This is a way of saying "Thanks for a job well done." The President`s colors are announced in the newsletter, and patterns for the traditional Ohio star are available at the Vice President`s table.
Challenge Quilt: Each year members are ``challenged`` to create a quilt for presentation at the March meeting. The Challenge rules are announced by the Assistant Program Chair at least six months before the March deadline. Completed quilts are voted on by members at the March meeting.
Heartwarmers Project: Quilts are made by Guild members for chronically and critically ill children in local hospitals. These quilts are collected at the March and September meetings; however, quilts will be accepted any time by the Heartwarmers chair. To date, CCQG members have made over 3,450 quilts. When donating quilts, be sure to attach a CCQG label, available at the Vice President`s table.

Special Events: Special events such as National Quilting Day and field trips are held during the year, and will be announced at meetings and in ``As the Needle Turns."
Community Involvement: Throughout the year, the Guild demonstrates quilting at community events such as Fenner Arboretum, Woldumar Nature Center, and the East Lansing Art Fair. We have provided quilts as fundraising for charitable organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. Guild members make quilts for Haven House, Ronald McDonald House, City Rescue Mission for Families, for emergencies such as Hurricane Katrina, Christmas stockings for shut-ins and have provided programs teaching children to make quilts, Small Quilt Groups: Many small groups sharing similar quilting interests exist within the Guild, and meet regularly. Information and a list of small groups are available at the Vice President`s table. Belonging to a small group is a good way to get acquainted and learn new skills.
Quilt Show: Every odd numbered year the Guild holds a show in the Lansing area. The show provides an opportunity for members to display quilts they have made and gives the public an opportunity to see and learn about quilt making. Members also donate hand made items for a silent auction, and a gift boutique, for the public as well as members to purchase. Raffle tickets are sold at the show where all can buy a chance for a full size quilt.

Most people are familiar with the service of Annual Credit Report where you can check on each of your credit reports from the three credit reporting agencies free once a year. But, there's another reporting service not many are aware of run by a subsidiary of Equifax called The Work Number (Equifax Verification Services | Instant Online Verifications).
All of this information is collected so that it can be sold to those wanting information about you. In the case of The Work Number, companies pay to verify potential employee information and their HR departments have access. Other companies also buy this information. Here's a report by NBC News: Equifax Has America's Number … and Its Paystubs By John Morgan to learn more.
You can check and dispute what Equifax has in your file that employers and others have access to by going to the Work Number website for employees and then click on the link "Request Annual Employment Data Report" Note: self-employed or businesses not in the data base won't have records here. If your employer is in the database, then what info does the database have on you?

White House speechwriter Bill Safire penned the address "In event of moon disaster" on July 18, 1969 – 49 years ago Wednesday.
The address was for President Richard Nixon to read in the event from the astronauts of Apollo 11 became stranded on the Moon.
From Apollo 11's three man crew, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went down to the surface of the moon while Michael Collins remained behind. Armstrong and Aldrin might not have been able to return to the mission's lunar orbiter, where Collins was waiting. The speech was written in preparation for that possibility but the NASA mission's rousing success means it was never read.

Before you start blogging, though, there are several things that you should know. As you are no doubt aware, it's actually very easy to start a blog.

I have noticed clients who benefit most from coaching have distinctive approaches to learning.
Discuss your personalised leadership coaching programme with Diana
The art of Establishing success measures for coaching
leaders wanting to develop new behaviours to increase their
effectiveness, one key is to identify specific success measures. This is
not as easy as it sounds. Alongside desired outcomes of any coaching
project, clients and I work together to identify 2 - 3 specific success
measures which they and others will see and experience as a result of
the behavioural changes they are considering. How do we do this?
We identify specific relationships, in a specific setting and describe the desired result.
Two examples:
1. The context is the client is quiet, shy or reserved in leadership team meetings. The coaching outcome is
'To be perceived as a valuable colleague amongst peers' or, 'To shift from being deferential to being a peer with colleagues and with those in authority'
The success measure for coaching might be: is actively sought and invited for information, feedback, and advice on current and strategic issues by peers and bosses
2. The context is boss and peer feedback indicate perceptions of arrogance, being opinionated, or not listening to others. The coaching outcome might be stronger peer engagement and positive staff relationships
The success measure might be: specified peers and staff across the business spontaneously report x being helpful, and easy to approach
