Bryan Lee Emler - the ORIGINAL BOY WONDER of comedy! "You'll take one look at him and BOY you'll WONDER!" - Bryan's Mom

Bryan Lee Emler has been performing for 14 years and continues to grow as an artist. Since a 1996 private professional showcase in Los Angeles, Bryan has written, staged, and been touring his own original stand-up comedy extravaganza. This show combines his wicked sense of humor and biting satirical delivery with all the glitz of a Las Vegas showgirl. "I take on so many personalities, I feel like Sybil, except I'm prettier."

If you're looking for a great entertainer, consider booking Bryan.

MA Justice Of The Peace - Looking to marry in Massachusetts?

Justice Of The Peace, Sally Masters, would be honored to officiate at one of the most significant occasions of your life.

Whether you are planning a wedding ceremony that is small and intimate, large and monumental, whether you are same sex partners or opposite sex partners, whether the ceremony is secular in nature, spiritual, religious, down to earth, or you've been together for a long time and now want to make it legal, I can provide a wedding ceremony that celebrates who you are as a couple and reflects your individual tastes and stylistic preferences. It brings me great joy to help couples find the perfect way to begin life together through the ceremony of marriage.

I am also available to solemnize other family celebrations such as renewal of vows, name changing rituals, adoption rituals, and more.

(The) Michael D. Palm Center - Blueprints for Sound Public Policy - formerly the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military, uses rigorous social science to inform public discussions of controversial social issues, enabling policy outcomes to be informed more by evidence than by emotion. Our data-driven approach is premised on the notion that the public makes wise choices on social issues when high quality information is available.

The Center promotes the interdisciplinary analysis of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other marginalized sexual identities in the armed forces by forging a community of scholars, creating a forum for information exchange and debate, offering itself as a launching point for researchers who need access to data and scholarly networks, and supporting graduate student training.

The Center's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell Project' will continue to be its first priority under its new name - The Michael D. Palm Center. The goal of the DADT Project is to improve the quality of information available to public deliberations about the military policy.

The Michael D. Palm Center is an official unit of the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
