Jim’s time is very tightly scheduled and he barely has time to make our meetings. I’ll bring up the AHS to him at out next "soire". I’ve just pinged him with regard to his Congress paper, so my query might engender some AHS interest on his part.

I thought Jim’s paper was pretty good. What did you think Guy?

For those of you that, like me, did not make it to Scotland for the Congress, you can still feel like you were at the opening ceremonies. BBC Scotland has put a video on their website at this address.
Tried to access the video from BBC Scotland but all I got was the following:
"We’re sorry. The content you requested is available for UK users only."
How disappointing!

Ditto - very frustrating.

There is always a way around that!
Use "Change how I view or hear this options" in case you can’t see it.
Here is the link that bypasses the block to Americans.

Thanks Mike! I was beginning to wonder if Chicago had been taken over by the UK, as I’ve had not trouble watching it.
Thanks Mike. That was a nice piece.
I like what Mark Dennis (I think that was his name) had to say. That sums up heraldry for me exactly. 
Terrific comments by Mark Dennis on how how heraldry continues to be relevant!

There are pockets of Loyalists in Chicago who, apparently, have infiltrated the local internet providers.
That is a cool clip, although I almost choked whtn the commentator announced that the school was allowed to "add supporters to its crest". :rolleyes:

Wow, I didn’t even catch that. I’ve always wondered why and how "crest" has incorrectly come to mean the entire achievement for so many people.

Because "Family Shield" just sounds dorky and "Family Arms" sounds like you have a genetic issue.

Because "coat of arms" and "achievement of arms" both contain too many syllables for the average schmuck. And saying "arms" invites confusion with firearms (especially in the USA).
I think I’d prefer "badge" to "crest" if "coat of arms" is too long and just "arms" is confusing.
