"In recent years the recorder virtuose Dan Laurin has performed in most parts of the world. Tours to the USA, Japan and Australia as well as appearances in the major European musical centres have confirmed his reputation as one of the most interesting - and sometimes controversial - performers on his instrument. His efforts to rediscover the sound possibilities of the recorder have resulted in a technical facility and a style of playing that have won him numerous awards including a Grammy and the Society of Swedish Composers' prize for the best interpretation of contemporary Swedish music.
A lengthy collaboration with the Australian instrument maker Frederick Morgan resulted in a succession of reconstructions of instruments from earlier rimes, and this has greatly enriched the world of recorder music. Special mention should be made here of the instrument that was designed specifically for Dan Laurin's recording of Jacob van Eyck 's monumental Der Fluyten Lust-hof, the largest work ever written for a wind instrument.
Besides working with early music. Dan Laurin has also premiéred numerous works by Swedish composers. His efforts to broaden the repertoire and to gain for the recorder the status of a concert instrument together with a large orchestra has resulted in several concertos that are already considered classics. Dan Laurin is professor of the recorder and teaches at Stockholm's Royal College of Music. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and in 2001 he received the medal 'Litteris et Artibus' from the King of Sweden."

"Born on the Winter Solstice in 1963, and brought up in England's Thames Valley, Adams initially flirted with a career in science before realising that his destiny lay elsewhere, and he embarked on a period of study with some of the leading players of the day, including Dutch pioneer Kees Boeke, winning numerous awards and competitions along the way. But he was quick to forge his own path, his natural performing flair at odds with the restrictions and traditions of the classical (and especially early) music scene.
It was a chance encounter with a group of Hungarian gypsy musicians, whilst taking part in an early music festival in Belgium, which was to provide the inspiration for Adams in the years to follow: this was music performed with unbridled freedom, heart-on-sleeve emotion and sheer, joyous virtuosity – and these facets have now become the hallmarks of Adams' own style.
Following an acclaimed debut in London's Wigmore Hall in 1985, and the recording of his debut disc of Vivaldi Recorder Concertos (Which CD Magazine's 'Concerto Recording of the Year'), Adams embarked on his mission to extend the recorder's repertoire and reputation, resulting in a series of ground-breaking London recitals and CD recordings – including first performances of forgotten 19th century Viennese music for the czakan (keyed recorder), a revival of the important mid-20th century British recorder repertoire, and his own transcriptions for recorder and piano in the grand romantic style. ..."

Bressani Launches An Italian Assault On Key West Melges 24 Fleet
20 January 2009
20 January 2009 - The Melges 24 fleet was supercharged in Key West today, where two more fantastic races were completed taking the fleet right up to the half way point of the event. Overall, the competitiveness of the Melges 24 just doesn't get any better than this. Reigning Melges 24 World Champion Lorenzo Bressani helming Lorenzo Santini's (Civitanova Marc, Italy) ITA-715 Uka Uka Racing still leads the Melges 24 Class. He is joined in second place by Chris Rast helming for Franco Rossini (Lugano, Switzerland) on SUI-621 Blu Moon and in third is Riccardo Simoneschi (Genova, Italy) on ITA-783 Giacomel Audi.
The race committee was determined to get the first heat started on time, but some unsettled weather quickly approaching the course postponed things for a short while. It was breeze on conditions from the very start ranging 12-15 mph. The first race was finally set at 330, and called for a course 4 with the breeze steady on the increase including a chance for rain, which managed to moderately hold off. At the start there was a light drizzle but hardly a deterrent for the Melges 24.
The start of race one of the day was really great as every team got off the line with a lot of speed — an impressive sight! The committee boat was the favored end all day, but most headed out left, then favoring the right again as they all looked for some shore-side pressure. At the top mark Alan Field (Los Angeles, Calif.) on USA-587 WTF took an immediate and strong lead. Slowly but surely they put distance between themselves and the remaining top five competitors. "This is what we come to Key West for!", exclaimed Field on Monday afternoon after racing, where it's believed his real romp to triumph began. "We still need to work on some things. We need more stamina as this is a really tough fleet, but we love it!"
Rounding the mark right behind Field was Kyle Vowels (Chicago, Ill.) on USA-160 One Sixty and Neily Williamson (Oyster Bay, N.Y.) on USA-771 Millewa Milluna in third, then USMCA President Travis Weisleder (Fishing Bay, Va.) on USA-605 X. Field went on to take the ultimate win, his first here in Key West in the Melges 24. Holding steady with a very strong result was Rast taking the second place position, followed by Gabrio Zandona helming for Giovanni Maspero (Como, Italy) on ITA-777 Joe Fly in third.
Race four in the ACURA Key West series was all about the power that is here in Key West representing the country of Italy. The Italians simply love this boat and their passion today was their greatest asset. With the very same course bearing as race one and the breeze really beginning to build, overnight leader Bressani took a substantial lead at the top mark a couple of minutes ahead of Rast and Zandona. That was the standing for the remainder of the race. Bressani, Rast and Zandona were joined by Simoneschi in fourth.
With Bressani's impressive performance today he still maintains the overnight lead. Rast is second, Simoneschi is third, Zandona is fourth and Field moves up to fifth.
TOP TEN RESULTS (After four races)
Lorenzo Bressani/Lorenzo Santini, Uka Uka Racing; 1-1-5-1 = 8
Chris Rast/Franco Rossini, Blu Moon; 4-2-2-2 = 10
Riccardo Simoneschi, Giacomel Audi; 6-5-4-3 = 18
Gabrio Zandona/Giovanni Maspero, Joe Fly; 10-3-3-4 = 20
Alan Field, WTF; 13-4-1-6 = 24
Vince Brun, Bailout; 2-6-14-5 = 27
Brian Porter,Full Throttle; 5-8-8-7 = 28
John Kolius, KO Sailing; 3-7-9-12 = 31
Bruce Ayres, Monsoon; 7-12-15-8 = 42
Kyle Vowels; One Sixty; 8-13-11-10 = 42
Bruce Ayres (Newport Beach, Calif.) on USA-747 Monsoon firmly hangs on to the lead in the Corinthian Melges 24 division, and still seated ninth overall. Loren Colehan (Santa Barbara, Calif.) on USA-556 Lounge Act remains second, moving up a spot overall to 11th.

Colorado mom: After shaving furor, focus on friend
DENVER (AP) — After a Grand Junction third-grader shaved her head to support a cancer-stricken buddy, the mother wants an end to the national furor over a school's reaction to the act of solidarity and the focus to shift to the 11-year-old friend's recovery.
The board of directors of the charter school, the Caprock Academy, voted Tuesday to let Kamryn Renfro remain. Officials had earlier barred her, saying she violated the dress code by shaving her head over the weekend.
The Denver Post (https://tinyurl.com/ov9gfhc) reported Wednesday that Kamryn's mother, Jamie Olson Renfrew, took her daughter to Denver Tuesday to be with her friend ahead of a hospital visit. Renfrew called on people who have been following the story to support Delaney Clements, who has been fighting childhood cancer since she was 7.

Does anyone know if the embroidery attachment for the 440 will fit the 635? They are both about 2 year old machines. Thanks to everyone on quilting board - I love seeing all the awesome projects!!!
I bought a BL Symphony at last year's quilt show in Houston. I see that there is a BSR for this machine now. Has anyone used this before and is it worth purchasing? Price quoted locally is $1,200!!
Also, has anyone used monopoly invisible thread with the Symphony? I am currently working on a Caryl Bryer Fallert quilt that requires the use of this thread, however, it's been pretty difficult to get the tension right. I am using a 1mm zig zag stitch with regular thread in the bobbin

My sister and I have this thing we do when an event was a big mess and we later reference it, we call it "The Great Blank Debacle of 200x", where blank is the particular incident and x is the year in which it occured. It is much more fun than it ever should be and it always warrants a giggle. That is how things are with sisters. If you are a female and you have a sister I am sure you understand. Tons of inside jokes, routines and rituals that make no sense at all but that you both will never grow tired of.
So why do I bring up this strange little ritual you ask? Because when the whole "Cooking Light Copyright Debacle of 2009" (as my sister and I refer to it) happened I wanted more than anything to abandon Cooking Light as my main recipe source and to find a publication that would appreciate the free publicity I provided them. But I knew that I could never even entertain the thought of not using Cooking Light recipes. Their recipes are so flavorful, guilt free, and perfect for a family with dietary restrictions. I haven't yet been able to let go of my frustrations with the way their editorial assistant handled the situation, but remain equally devoted to their magazine. So when I tasted this recipe I couldn't have been more smug. It was not good at all. Ha, Finally! One point for team blog! Cooking Light has a recipe that isn't amazingly delicious and I found it. It was flavorless, time consuming, and runny. So if you are still interested in trying this dish after my glaring review............
Dijon Mustard Chicken Fricassee
Adapted from Cooking Light
4 servings (serving size: about 5 ounces chicken and 1/2 cup sauce)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, divided

- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1. Combine mustard, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme in a small bowl.
Add the mixture and chicken to a large zip-top plastic bag; toss well to coat. Chill 8 hours or overnight.
2. Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan, and cook 5 minutes on each side or until browned.
Remove from pan.
3. Add chopped onion to pan, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic to pan, and sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Return chicken to pan.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan with a slotted spoon. Keep warm.
4. Cook sauce, uncovered, over medium heat 4 minutes or until slightly thick. Pour sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.

Granderson gets three hits in latest rehab appearance
Outfielder plays all nine innings in day game after night game
MOOSIC, Pa. -- An early day game following a night game proved to be no challenge for Curtis Granderson in his fourth rehab game with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. He inched closer to returning to New York, recording three hits and playing all nine innings.
"The big thing today was facing left-handed pitching," Granderson said. "I haven't had much in terms of that up to this point. To get some good left-handed pitching from both the starter and closer is big."View Full Game Coverage
Granderson batted second, played right field, and faced off against Gwinnett's lefty starter Daniel Rodriguez. He smacked a hard single to right field in his first at-bat, and later came around to score.
"He did a mixture of things," Granderson said of Rodriguez. "He threw the off-speed pitches, but also challenged me with the fastball. I was able to get a couple of hits off of him, but he kept his team in the ballgame."
Granderson was able to send a ball from Rodriguez the opposite way in the fifth for another single. He hit a hard liner down the first-base line in the seventh, but Ernesto Mejia was able to corral it. He concluded his day at the plate with a sinking single to left in the ninth.
For the first time in his rehab assignment, Granderson saw a number of pitches on the inner-half of the plate. He was not concerned about his right forearm, and saw the pitches as an opportunity to ease back into working against inside pitching.
"It was good to get some inside to make sure you're not trying to get out of the way," Granderson said. "There was no recall of the injury. There's going to be pitches inside, I'm going to get hit again, but you got to stay in. You're going to have them here and there."
Sunday marked the first time Granderson was playing a true day game since his injury, and his first nine-inning game following a night contest.
"Night followed by a day, plus playing all nine on defense, were things I had to get through. I hadn't done it yet. I'm glad I was able to get through and feel good. The results were positive and now I'm ready to go again tomorrow night."
Granderson's approach and the results at the plate indicate he is nearly ready to return to the Yankees. His defense has almost caught up, as well, leaving him with not much else to do before his return to the Bronx.
"I've had some throws from both left and right, I've had good at-bats," said Granderson. "I think that's about it. There are some things in the game you get that you can't mirror, but we're checking a lot of things off which is a good thing."

Some classic stories should be left alone
Between Catherine Hardwicke's embarrassing attempt to turn "Red Riding Hood" (pictured) into a "Twilight" knockoff and the even more atrocious "Beauty and the Beast" update "Beastly," fairy tales could use some time off. (This, however, does not go for Julia Leigh's criminally misunderstood and very nontraditional take on "Sleeping Beauty.") Oops, sorry, there are 20 Snow White movies on the way!

Daycare center PC needs overhaul, which Puppy to use?
Subject description: 900 MHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM
Been doing some work at a daycare center for handicapped people that has one old desktop PC running an old and malware infested installation of Windows XP, which is probably unlicensed as well.
They asked me to take a look at it and while it is entirely possible for me to just slap XP on there again, I know it's just gonna start misbehaving in a while anyway.
The machine is an Intel Celeron 900 with 512 megs of ram, not sure about the graphics chip but it's definitely a cheapo built-in VIA or Intel. Heaviest thing they need it for is to be able to watch videos on Youtube. Some accessibility options, namely a zoom feature, would be nice but not entirely necessary.
I'm also thinking it would be nice to have the save file set up so that it doesn't save automatically every time the PC shuts down, so that if someone breaks something or puts a dirty picture as a background etc, the staff would only have to restart the PC to get everything back to normal.
I've had good experience with Wary in the past and that was my first thought but I'm guessing you guys might have a better suggestion? Is there a good Puppy variant for them or should I go down a different path?

Wary seems a good option or maybe Legacy
I agree that messing with XP is liable to take up lots of time.
you could set Puppy how you want it and then remaster it and run without a save file. Might be more hassle than you want though. . .

If it's only for web use, look into BrowserLinux (Puppy Derivative) or Kiosk Puppy.
Kiosk Puppy How-To -->
BrowserLinux (FF 501, a little out of date) -->
BrowserLinux (lower-end systems page) -->
I vote for the Chrome version on the 2nd BrowserLinux page. Firefox is really slow and has memory problems.
Er, slightly technical explanation of "memory problems" -- it has
memory leaks
(click the link for Wikipedia's technobabble on the subject) where it doesn't give RAM back to the system after it's done using that RAM. The RAM just sits there, unused and unreclaimed. Very big known problem that has never been solved (and probably won't be, at this point).

Hit a bit of a snag with this little Puppy venture of mine. Burned both Wary and BrowserLinux to CD's and verified they worked on my PC. However, when I tried them on the PC I wanted them to work on it gave me this
Searching for Puppy files . . . . . . *.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console . . .
"*" being a wildcard as is gave me this error on both CD's. Any thoughts?

I usually only get that when I'm trying to boot something really old on hardware that's far too new... like SimplePup (one of the REALLY early Puplets) on my ASUS netbook.
...you're sure of those hardware specs?

If the computer can boot from CD or DVD, then whichever Puppy you choose, I'd recommend running it from a multisession CD or DVD. You'd boot the disk, then remove it from the drive and keep it in a safe place. 512 MB of RAM is plenty for multisession Puppy. If the RAM gets full due to watching many videos, simply put the multisession Puppy disk back in the drive and reboot without saving.

gertrud, if you don't have access to a spare optical drive that can replace the current one, I do -- and I'll gladly donate it if you're in the States. Nothing personal -- just, international shipping is a real pain. I can also make up some instructions for installing it; I'm something of an artist on top of everything else

It may be advisable for you to let us know where you are.
I have a couple spare ( I do up old ones for donation via Church)
I am sure others may have them too, I'm in OZ

I'm in North Carolina, USA -- hence the line about "in the States". International shipping is not for the faint of heart here!
The geographic center of NC is the NC Zoo, just outside of Asheboro. (There's also an Ashe
in NC, but that's four hours of driving in the exactly opposite direction. Sorry for the confusion!) I am roughly a 45-minute drive due west of Asheboro, about 2 miles outside of a tiny town (pop. ~8000 according to the phone book) that almost nobody has ever heard of (even in NC) called Siler City. Siler City is the next-door neighbor to even tinier Silk Hope, where Aunt Bea retired from Mayberry. (Aunt Bea went to her home in the sky some time before I got here, though -- I wasn't born till '86. IIRC Bea died in like '77 or so.)

Well, It's not Puppy linux. But it uses a i486 kernel. It just might be worth a shot trying. Iso fit's on cd.
If me. I would go for the full Iso (more tools and stuff) It runs OK on my low spec boxes.
I also used to run Puppy Dingo pretty well on low spec gear also. Maybe 4.31 will work ok for you instead. My experience with .sfs not found was the newer puppy kernel versions did not play well on my older IBM gear.
There are lot's to pick from on the below link I guess.

Muntiacus rooseveltorum, also known as Roosevelt's muntjacs or Roosevelt's barking deer -- a rare species first discovered by the sons of President Teddy Roosevelt in Laos -- hadn't been observed alive anywhere since 1929.
But recent camera-trap images in Vietnam's Xuan Lien Nature Reserve show the species is prancing through pockets of deep forest, according to a release of Vietnam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
A team of researchers from the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Studies at Vietnam National University compiled evidence, including horn and skin samples, to confirm what the photographs suggested.
"Given the rarity of this species and the escalating hunting and habitat loss in the region, it is important to conduct field research to assess its population status," the researchers wrote in a recent paper on the rediscovery -- published last month in Conservation Genetics. "Such information is critically needed to design a conservation plan for this highly elusive and threatened taxon."
Roosevelt's sons, Theodore, Jr. and Kermit, first discovered the species on an expedition to Southeast Asia with Harold Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., a famous zoologist who later became head of both the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the World Wildlife Fund.
Skepticism of the discovery persisted, due to the lack of evidence, but in 1999 DNA tests of several muntjac skulls confirmed the separate species' unique genetics.

UPDATE: I spoke too soon: Bobby Valentine is no longer a candidate for the Marlins' job (God, I hate linking to Jon Heyman). I guess that means Valentine is still a candidate to replace Jerry Manuel. That's all fine and well, but doesn't mitigate my original point: a non-zero percentage of Valentine's success as Mets manager came from his familiarity with the AAA team, a luxury that he cannot replicate.
It looks like Bobby Valentine is going to become the next manager of the Florida Marlins. That's going to disappoint a large segment of Mets fans: Valentine is a colorful character who has achieved success in the major leagues, and he's also a tangible link to one of the more successful periods in recent Mets history. I understand why fans are upset that he's going to Florida: I just don't think it's that big of a deal.
Valentine's Mets teams succeeded because he made the most of what he had a Hall of Famer (Mike Piazza), several All-Stars (Al Leiter, Mike Hampton, Robin Ventura) and some pretty marginal bench players, whose performance Valentine maximized. They were overachievers, and that's certainly a credit to Valentine, but I feel like a fairly important fact has gotten lost throughout the years: Valentine managed the AAA Norfolk Tides for 283 games over two years before taking over the Mets. His 1994 squad was little more than Jeromy Burnitz, Rico Brogna, and Butch Huskey, but the 1996 squad included Benny Agbayani, Alberto Castillo, Matt Franco, Alex Ochoa, Jay Payton, and (most importantly) Rick Reed, all of whom would go on to contribute to Valentine's Mets teams.
Valentine managed that 1996 team to an 82-59 record, good for second in the International League West. He developed a relationship with those players, an appreciation of their strengths and weaknesses that he would later use to his advantage as manager of the Mets. It's not the sole reason why he succeeded, but it was an inherent advantage that he had that can't recreate with the Mets (or the Marlins, for that matter).
Valentine is a smart, resourceful man. I don't doubt that he'll have some success with the Marlins. But he'll be stuck with the same limitations that faced Joe Girardi and Fredi Gonzalez before him: an owner (Jeffrey Loria) whose priorities lay in profits, not necessarily performance. Valentine will again be forced to maximize limited roll players, only this time without the benefit of experience with them. It's not an insurmountable task, but it's a handicap nonetheless.
It would have been the same story if he took over the Mets: he doesn't know any of these players and would have to spend valuable time learning how to use them. Combine that with an eight year absence from American professional baseball, and it might actually be a bit of a hindrance.
I would have enjoyed seeing Bobby Valentine manage the Mets again, but I don't think it would be the panacea some of you were expecting.

Moroccan PM slams king's entourage
Rabat, April 24, 2012
Morocco's prime minister has hit out at courtiers around King Mohammed in rare criticism that could signify the start of a confrontation between the Islamist-led government and powerful figures close to the palace.
Moroccan authorities, under pressure from the "Arab Spring" upheavals elsewhere in the region, held early elections last year which for the first time handed power to the opposition PJD party of moderate Islamists.
Since then, analysts have been predicting a stand-off between the government, which is committed to tackling corruption and poverty, and a moneyed elite with long-standing ties to the palace.
Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane spoke out on Sunday after his government's plan to reform state-run television, widely seen as a mouthpiece for the monarchy, was criticised by figures close to the palace.
"The Arab Spring is not over yet," Benkirane told a PJD gathering in Rabat, according to remarks carried on Monday by local newspapers. "It (the Arab Spring) is still wandering about and may feel like coming back," he added.
"In this country, even the monarchy itself needs citizens who seek reform ... Kings are not always surrounded by the right kind of people, they can actually be surrounded by foes who become the first to desert them."
In a statement emailed to Reuters, Benkirane later said his comments were "taken out of context".
"Morocco's democracy is a participatory one based on cooperation between constitutional institutions under the leadership of His Majesty the King, may God protect him, and his directives," Benkirane said.
Two officials with Benkirane's PJD party confirmed to Reuters that he had made the remarks, which were reported by publications including the independent newspaper Akhbar al-Youm and the Febrayer.com news portal.
Jamaa Moatassim, head of Benkirane's office, could not be reached for comment. Any criticism of the palace is highly unusual in Morocco, especially from such a senior politician.
The monarchy itself is revered, with King Mohammed held by Moroccans to be a descendant of the Prophet Mohammad, and the elite around the palace, commonly known as the Makhzen, is also generally treated with deference.
The PJD won the biggest share of the vote in November by promising to fight corruption, especially among people using high-level connections to enrich themselves.
It promised to unveil lists of beneficiaries of business licences granted at the authorities' discretion to politicians, businessmen and senior army officers.
Benkirane's government issued guidelines that would have banned lottery commercials and required them to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer - both in line with the PJD's policy of promoting conservative social values.
Executives at the state-run RTM and 2M channels argued that these rules were a threat to their independence from government. Two government ministers from parties close to the palace that are in coalition with the PJD also attacked the guidelines.- Reuters

Revision as of 10:32, November 28, 2005
OrthodoxWiki is launching an ambitious initiative to organize all the images on the site. We will need your help!
Stage One
What we'd like to to is stamp all the images with appropriate image categories. These automatically become photo galleries! All of these categories should then be placed in Category:Images.
Not all image topics will require their own distinct categories. Sometimes they will fit very well into an already established category that includes articles. Separate categories (e.g. Images of ...) are helpful whenever we want to a) have a subcategory under Category:Images or b) whenever there are enough images in a category that they would clutter up the image list too much. We should provide a cross-link on each of the related category pages (e.g. Category:Icons and Category:About Icons).
Please refer to the list of categories for images at OrthodoxWiki:Image Categories. If you need a category that isn't there, just add it!
Uncategorized images can go in Category:Uncategorized Images
Important Notes
- It is helpful to begin at a template (e.g. Template:Pd) or category (Category:Bishops) and work backwards from there.
- If the image has a template attached (i.e. a license template), the best way to make the changes is to add the category to the template itself. Unfortunately, all the image pages have to be "refreshed" by clicking "edit" and "save" in order for the change in the template to register and for the images to be thumbnailed on the Category page. To find a list of all images, go to Special:Imagelist; often, but not always, the template is listed in the initial description. It is also a good idea to double-check those pictures which do not have an initial description, as an identifying template may have been added later.
- You may make changes or additions to this page as well.
- If you are able to work on this, please leave a note on this page so that we know what you've done and don't get confused! Thanks.
Stage Two
Once this is accomplished, we'd like to begin to import images that are public domain or under other "free" licenses and that are appropriate for OrthodoxWiki from other sites on the internet, especially, for example, commons:Category:Orthodox_Church. In this way, OrthodoxWiki will become a central respository for Orthodox images of all types, especially those which are freely available. This is a big project and we need to talk more about how to integrate these into the structure of our current site.
Comments and suggestions about how to do this are most welcome!
Please import all appropriate images from a whole category at one time and then register the category on Wikimedia Commons that they were imported from here. I mean let's systematically work through the relevant categories on the Commons -- just write down which one(s) you've already been through so we don't repeat it, and do one at a time so we don't miss stuff. While you're at it, why not take a moment to help the Commons fix up some of their categories? Categories on the Commons do not have to be directly mirrored here. Please see the list of categories above, and register your new category there too.
Is there a smarter way to do this? e.g. bulk uploads? This was the answer on the MediaWiki-L list: "For mass uploading, you might want to have a look at the Python wikipedia robot framework that implement an uploading tool: http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/" -- I'm not sure that's the ideal solution. If we want to get all the information and arrange things in appropriate categories, we might as well do it all manually, even though that takes time.
- I'd be willing to try this: commons:Commons:File_upload_service (the perl script is here) if anybody's interested. Fr. John
Please read these bullet points carefully before importing.
- All images imported from Wikimedia Commons should also include the {{commons}} template so that we can keep track of what comes from where.
- Please be sure to download the highest resolution image (with the original filename) by right clicking the little blue "Download hi-res" link beneath the image pictured on the "Image:" page!
- Please copy all relevant source information over, but we don't necessarily to keep all the image categories. You can usually just do a copy and paste from the "Edit" page into the comment box.
- It is ok to go past the "recommended file size limit" (you might get a warning message and prompt)
- Please be both thorough and discerning. Some images, e.g. this one, might be passed by but should be included. Many others aren't needed here. We can always link to it on Wikimedia Commons if we should need it in the future. The rule of thumb is that if you could easily imagine an image being used in an OrthodoxWiki article or if it perfectly fits an image collection on this site, bring it in. Otherwise, leave it. If in doubt, feel free to make a note on the discussion page. We particularly don't need the zillion images of post-schism Western religious art, for example.
- If an image doesn't fit anywhere else, please put it in Category:Uncategorized_Images
- We will be able to avoid duplicates because of the identical filename. When there is any question do not overwrite the current image, but check first -- either it is different and needs a new file name or it is the same and doesn't need to be uploaded. The only exception to this is if you want to overwrite the current file because it is inadequate and you have a better version. Please mark all such changes in your comments for the Upload log.
Transfer Log
Already processed:
- commons:Category:Crosses
- commons:Category:Christian_cross
- commons:Category:Religious_symbols
- commons:Category:Coptic_script - not all the letters, but the three other images
In progress/already assigned/underway:
Recommended for Transfer:
- commons:Iconostasis
- commons:Category:Icons_(art)
- commons:Category:Orthodox_Church, incl. subcategories and linked categories
- commons:Category:People_of_Serbia
- commons:Category:Apostles
- Many from commons:Category:Saints
- Many from commons:Category:Martyrs
- commons:Iconostasis
- commons:Category:Christianity - of course there's overlap, just be clear in your log
Once the importing from Wikimedia Commons is completed (although growing, importing from the Commons is a relatively finite and concrete task), there are many other sources of usable images.
I'd suggesty that we don't aggressively go after these, but "casually" -- browsing through them, we might find some gems. We don't need to -- and shouldn't -- try to be a "catch-all" for Orthodox images, but we can be on the lookout for images that would be appropriate in articles or as a valuable part of one of our galleries. Think quality rather than quantity!
One nice thing about the Wikimedia Commons images is that they are pre-selected according to similar criteria.
One priority here in my mind are images of a historical interest, from the various historical archives.
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources - this is a wonderful list of resources.
- http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons - Flickr photos issues under Creative Commons licenses
- http://www.thebiblerevival.com/clipart.htm - Good to keep in mind for Bible-related images, maps, etc.
- http://www.cts.edu/ImageLibrary/maps.cfm - More PD maps
I'm starting a log at OrthodoxWiki:Images for import. This is for "imports wanted" as well as to record the work has already been done.

Make Way for the 2014 Farm BillTweet
It is hard to believe, but the next Farm Bill may be less than 10 days away from becoming law, even though only four and maybe only two lawmakers know what really is in it. In what has been the strangest approach ever to writing farm policy, many of the details could be revealed within hours, if the House-Senate Conference Committee members are given a copy of what they will be voting on Thursday, or more likely on Friday. Actually, the delivery of the copies of the proposed Farm Bill to the members could be under guard with directions to not share the information until the committee leaders have the opportunity to reveal their handiwork.
What has gotten us to this point? That is answered by University of Illinois ag economist Nick Paulsen, and colleague Jonathan Coppess, who managed the Farm Bill construction in the Senate Agriculture Committee until it was approved last fall. Paulsen and Coppess, now at the U of IL, say the legislation was driven by the need to cut spending from the 2008 Farm Bill. They say, "Both versions are credited with achieving savings relative to existing programs via changes to the Commodity, Nutrition, and Conservation, and Crop Insurance Titles. These proposed changes suggest a shift in farm program focus from income supports to risk management where the federal crop insurance program serves as the main safety net for crop producers."
Alternatives needing to be compromised:
Coppess, an insider when it comes to the Senate's Farm Bill efforts, says there are major differences in the versions that have now been merged into the Conference Committee Report that will be voted on this week:
· Existing commodity programs – direct and counter-cyclical, ACRE, and SURE – are eliminated in both Farm Bill proposals.
· The Senate version replaces these programs with the combination of both price supports and a shallow-loss revenue program.
· The House version would offer producers the choice between price supports with updated target prices for eligible commodities, or a county-level shallow-loss revenue program.
· In addition, a new crop insurance program – the Supplemental Coverage Option - is created in both versions.
· The price support programs in the Senate and House Farm Bills differ along two important dimensions.
· The Senate price support program bases payments on historical base acreage and sets the reference price levels equal to a percentage of the rolling average of national marketing year average prices. Thus, reference prices would adjust with the market.
· In contrast, the House price support program would continue to use fixed price support levels and base payments on planted acreage. Thus, price support payments would be tied to, or "coupled" with, farmers' production decisions.
· The shallow loss revenue programs base their guarantees on Olympic averages of recent yields and national cash prices, and have payment limits and eligibility rules based on adjusted gross income.
· In contrast, supplemental insurance coverage bases its guarantee on insurance (futures) prices and trend yields and will not be subject to payment limitations, but will require the producer to pay a subsidized portion of the premium.
Just like the decisions that had to be made by the leaders of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, farmers will also have decisions to make about program participation, at what levels, and with what add-ons. The choices that will be offered to farmers will allow varying forms of price and yield risk protection.
So when will details become available?
After the 41 members of the Conference Committee were appointed, House Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas determined it would be too unwieldy to negotiate a complex Farm Bill with all 41 wanting their say. Subsequently, the top 2 Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate Agriculture Committees met and held conference calls numerous times to ensure progress could be made with everyone having a representative at the table. Late Wednesday, Iowa Senator Charles Grassley said there were only four issues left undecided:
1) Country of origin labeling for imported food products.
2) Duplicative catfish inspection processes
3) Subsidy limits on crop insurance premiums
4) The proposal to prohibit California agricultural policy from becoming national law or policy.
However, within the House delegation, there have been strenuous arguments over the type of dairy policy that will find its way into the final proposal. Minnesota Congressman Collin Peterson has fought hard for a supply management policy because he says dairymen will overproduce. Speaker John Boehner is adamantly opposed, and dairy policy remains unresolved.
If Lucas is saving those issues for the other members of the committee to resolve, details should start emerging on Thursday. If the unsettled points are resolved Thursday or Friday in a meeting of the Conference Committee, look for the full details to be revealed by the weekend. If they are, a vote on the Farm Bill could come next week, and if approved the 2014 Farm Bill will be turned over to USDA for implementation and program sign-up.
The Farm Bill process was launched in 2011 with hearings, and then delayed because of budget considerations, then extended for a year, and now has come into 2014 without a resolution. However, that point may be near, once final issues are negotiated and the full Conference Committee has a chance to vote on what its leaders have compromised. With prospects for the agreement to become law within the next ten days, USDA will soon implement the bill and announce dates for farmers to sign up for the programs.

Hypnobabies classes, birth doula services, hypno-doula services, postpartum doula services
I have been lucky enough to be able to pursue my true passion in life which is working with mothers, babies, and families. I truly believe that women and those around them are deeply affected by birth and that every family deserves the best start possible. Getting off to a gentle start as a new family can effect that family for a long time. The birth of a baby can be a joyful, comfortable, and easy experience if a family receives assistance, information, attention, encouragement, and love that they need. Attending Hypnobabies births as a doula has given me some incredible first-hand experiences of how comfortable and pleasant birth can be. The classes are so thorough, so well-researched, and so fun! I want to make sure that people know about and have access to Hypnobabies classes so that they can use their bodies and minds to give birth in a beautiful way.
I schedule classes based on the needs of those who contact me.

We reviewed the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity recently (read it here) and were enraptured by its speedy quad-core performance and retina-slicingly sharp 1920 x 1200 screen. It's our favourite Android tablet, basically. But we didn't know quite when it would be arriving for general sale.
Now we do: Asus has revealed that the slate – already on sale in the US and some European countries – will drop on 31st August. The £600 price tag will be for a 64GB Infinity bundled with a keyboard dock and for now there's no plans to stock the 32GB over here.

Attempted Armed Robbery at EHT Burger King Drive-Thru Lane
The drive-thru lane at Burger King on Tilton Road in Egg Harbor Township was the scene of an attempted armed robbery Sunday evening.
Just after 7:00 Sunday evening, Egg Harbor Township police responded to Burger King on Tilton Road in reference to an armed robbery. Officers say the victim was in the drive-thru lane when a person approached his passenger side window, brandished a handgun, and demanded the victim's property. The victim pulled forward and began honking the horn; the suspect then fled the area on foot south on Hingston Avenue. The victim was not injured.
The suspect is described as a black male in his late teens or early 20's, about 5' 10" wearing a grey shirt, grey pants and a white hat.
Anyone having any information is asked to contact Egg Harbor Township police at 926-4051.

ETSU looks to extend three-game winning streak in Oxford
OXFORD, Ohio (September 8, 2011) – After dropping two close contests to start the year, the ETSU women's soccer team has come roaring back, scoring 13 goals in its last three games, to roll off three-consecutive wins, and will now travel to Oxford, Ohio for a weekend series against Wright State and Miami University in the RedHawk Shootout Tournament inside the Miami Soccer Field. The Lady Bucs take on Wright State on Friday, September 9, at 1:30 p.m. before taking on host Miami on Sunday, September 11, at 3 p.m.
ETSU (3-2-0) comes off a weekend sweep of Alabama A&M and Longwood, outscoring the two squads by a combined 12-1, and looks to build from that momentum heading into this weekend.
Last Friday, against Longwood, the Lady Bucs and Lancers were dead even, 1-1, after 90 minutes and played into the second overtime period. With 1:20 to go, senior Jessica Hiltenbrand (Bartlett, Tenn.) lined up for a free kick from 30 yards out and buried the attempt to score her first goal of the season and lift ETSU to its second win in as many games. The following Sunday, the Lady Bucs set the program record for goals in a game, scoring 10 against Alabama A&M en route to a 10-0 victory and senior Caitlin Gaughan's (Indianapolis, Ind.) second shutout in three games. Sophomore Molly Vaughn (Nashville, Tenn.) recorded her first collegiate hat-trick, scoring three goals over just a 34 minute span.
Going into the RedHawk Shootout, ETSU's offense will be led by freshman standout Jenna Caudle (Middletown, Md.), who leads the team with three goals including one game-winner. Caudle has been a big part to ETSU's success, scoring the equalizer against Tennessee Tech, the game-winning goal with 10 minutes left in a, 1-0, victory over reigning Big South regular season champion Radford and the go-ahead goal just 2:14 into the eventual win over Longwood. The Lady Bucs lead the A-Sun in goals, outscoring their opponents by a combined 15-5.
Wright State (3-2-1) started out the year with three wins but has struggled lately against some tough competition. The Raiders are 0-2-1 in their last three games, losing, 2-1, to then-No. 7 Ohio State, playing to a scoreless draw against Ole Miss and most recently dropping a, 1-0, contest to Auburn. The Raiders spread out their goal scoring, with Jen Agueci, Liz Soto and Sarah Gross all netting two goals apiece to lead the team.
Miami (2-2-0) comes into its tournament with a very similar storyline to Wright State. The Red Hawks won their first two contests, shutting out IUPUI and Morehead State by the same score, 4-0, but have dropped the two since. Against Xavier, Miami went down, 2-0, in the first half before converting on a penalty kick to close the game to one goal heading into the half, but could not notch another score. Most recently, against Eastern Kentucky, the Red Hawks took a, 1-1, game into overtime but gave up the game-winner four minutes into the extra session to lose, 2-1. Jess Kodiak and Katy Dolesh lead the team with three goals each while goalkeeper Allison Norenberg has given up four goals, making eight saves, in 363:36 of play for a goals against average of 0.99.
Live stats of every contest over the weekend will be provided courtesy of muredhawks.com.

Hungry this morning, I left early for the bus. Yes, I wimped out again, but this bus to work, ride back home routine is working pretty well for me. On my way to the mall, I decided to test my stoplight-triggering skills at the Burger King drive-thru. Would I be able to trigger the sensor to place my order? Would I be doomed to a life of breakfast hunger forever? There's only one way to find out.
Stealthily, I rolled up to the menu to place my order, making sure to align my bike with the faintly visible lines of the inductor loop under the concrete. I clicked out of my pedals and waited. To my surprise, a half-asleep murmur greeted me within seconds. I ordered some miniature cinnamon rolls with an extra dose of that tasty, sweet, tooth-rotting icing and then crept to the window to pay for my goodies. The cashier said that usually the drive-thru can't even detect motorcycles, thinking it had something to do with vehicle weight. I told her that they just don't know "the secret." When she asked what the secret was, I told her that it was a secret, then chortled merrily while handing her a dollar bill and a dime in exchange for breakfast.
I think I may have spooked her a little bit with my routine. When she came back with my nutriment, I gave her a hint. "It's got more to do with where you park your vehicle than how much it weighs." I thanked her and launched in a fury of pedaling and shifting, hammering onto the road to get through the left-turn before the light went red.
Moments later, I sat down at the bus stop and munched on my hard-earned pabulum as motorists-in-wait observed from behind their walls of glass and steel. I arose, chasing the carbohydrate cocktail with water from my bottle before making another high-speed bike sprint across the parking lot to the nearest waste bin and back. By this time, some curious onlookers had emerged into the crisp morning air. Certainly a few of them were envious of the meal which they'd seen me devour in their presence. Too bad.
I wrapped up the morning by discussing religion and philosophy with Lorin over a nice, hot mocha. I don't ride my bike to lose weight. I ride it so I can do stuff like eat cinnamon rolls and drink mocha in the morning without feeling too bad about it.

The manager of the Tim Horton's here laughed at me when I told him the drive-through wasn't picking up my bike. He didn't take my order at the window, he just laughed. I'll try to find that sweet spot in the pavement next time.

There are a few places that display signage like "No walk-up traffic" at the window. From a few of these places, I got some flack.
My usual response is to go back around and make revving noises the next time, or point out that I'm on a street legal vehicle and that I got to their store using the same public roads as the rest of the customers that roll through there. These are usually places that close the lobby before the drive-thru, so they lazily expect that I'm just doing it that way so that they have to get off their asses and do work. Not entirely false.
My bank, and the pharmacy both think it's cool when I pull up on my bike.
