Estrella XXIX held in the Kingdom of Atenveldt, has a new vision; our focus is
the embodiment of the the esprit de corps of those who live this dream of yore
shared by all who live this dream of yore. Whatever your dream embodies that
excites your senses and tantalizes your ancestral soul, Estrella War provides
you the means to experience it.

Town Square

Welcome to the Estrella War's Town Square. It is the center of activities as in
times of yore.

You will find a wonderful opportunity to converse with artisans and craftsman's
in a Medieval Village as they ply their trades true to form right from the pages
of history. Peruse the three different artisan showcases (the traditional,
Laurels and Masterpiece) and be prepared to be inspired.

A plethora of special events await you for both your viewing pleasure and
participation, tournaments, auctions, competitions, and even a few participatory
sports. What fun to bat about a shuttlecock, or partake in the Italian game of
Bocci (lawn bowling) or the ever popular Croquet.

The Town square wouldn't be complete without the gentler pastimes, so you will
find plenty of opportunity to sit and socialize over a board game or a welcome
meal from the food court complete with shade pavilions and seating. Just steps
away is Merchant's Row.

To serve your anticipated needs, you will find Chirurgeon's Point, Volunteer's
and Hospitably Point, Herald's Point, the Watch and Autocrate's Point.

In the cool of the evening Estrella War dresses up and comes to the Town Square
for the grandiose parties, dancing, entertainments and the splendor which are
grand courts

I have an OT Question.  I am currently seeking new employment and one of the
jobs I am looking at only lists a pay grade instead of an actual salary grad. 
Well, since I have never worked for this comany before, it's Greek to me.  Could
someone who actually works at Cox Communications please let me know - Off List
Please - what the S18 pay grade translates to?

Many thanks!

  A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough
people to make it worth the effort.

I apologize for the bandwidth, but I'll take any help I can get.  Due to
corporate restructuring my current job is being eliminated at the and of
December.  If anyone knows of any companies hiring for an Executive
Administrator, I'd be happy for any leads I could get (off list please).  I have
12 years of experience and excellent references.  I would prefer something in
the East Valley, but anything in the Metro Phoenix will be looked at.

Thank you!!!!
