This is Day 24 of the 30 Days to 3,000 Fans program. You can learn more about the program here.
I previously wrote about a concept that I call the Facebook sales funnel. In the article I discuss how Facebook is a relationship marketing platform. The most important phase of the Facebook sales funnel is the action phase. When you create your Facebook Page you should probably have some sort of goal in mind aside from attracting 3,000 fans. While large brands are not as focused on turning Facebook fans into direct sales, smaller businesses should be focused on generating leads and occasionally selling products or services directly.
The first priority is obviously on building a community but you eventually need to drive users to take some sort of action right? Below are four ways of getting your fans to take action:
Facebook Page Lead Form
Create a form that lets users put in their name and email address for posting other content. There are a number of ways to develop a lead form, some of which are easier than others. The easiest method is to embed simple HTML into a tab on your Facebook Page using the Static FBML application. You can then use an application like Wufoo to collect information using an embeddable form. You could also use email marketing services such as Constant Contact, AWeber, or Campaign Monitor and then use their pre-made forms from a custom tab.
The second method of creating a custom form is much more complicated and requires creating a basic Facebook application from scratch which installs a custom form on the sidebar of your Facebook Page. You'll need to have a hosting provider that supports PHP (or other compatible language with readily available Facebook API library) and you'll need to set up a one page application.
2. Publish One-Time Offer Promotions
Standard promotions are always a great way to get your fans to take action. Offering discounts or alternative offers such as "buy one, get one free" should effectively entice fans to make a purchase. However you need to be careful with using aggressive direct sales as it will most definitely turn off a portion of your fan base who will end up unsubscribing from your updates. Some marketers that I know have actually developed separate Facebook Pages specifically dedicated to promotional updates. All users that become fans of those pages are expecting to receive promotions and in turn are less likely to unsubscribe as a result of promotional stories that show up in their news feed.
3. "Read More"
The call to actions don't need to be strictly one step conversions although those are always the best. Another great way to convert fans into sales is to drive them to your website where you have engaging copy that will be more likely to convert them. There are a number of guides on how to develop effective landing pages but one of the classic guides is "The Irresistible Offer" by Mark Joyner. I continuously reference this book because it's one that all of the best copywriters have read and used as a guide for themselves. I suggest researching effective copywriting techniques in order to convert fans that click on your links into customers.
4. Play This Game
As I mentioned already, Facebook is a relationship marketing platform. That means you can't always just drive fans to make purchases. Instead you should be engaging them. On Day 21 I discussed mini-competitions as a model for engaging your Facebook fans. Through that engagement you will ultimately build a stronger relationship and brand affiliation with your fans. While the purchase may not be instant, the more a fan engages with your Facebook Page, the more likely they are to purchase something from you eventually.
Daily Task
Prior to making a call to action you should have a plan about what you want to sell and what your goals are. Develop a plan about what you are looking to sell and once you've developed a plan begin testing these four calls to action. While none of these tactics are going to necessarily attract more fans, they will most definitely help you effectively market to existing fans. By now you most likely have a decent number of fans and it's better to begin testing calls to action sooner rather than later.

Buddy Holly was one of the early and main figures of rock-and-roll during the second half of the 1950s and had a major influence on later artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Elton John. The 1989 musical, which hews closer to Holly's actual life story than the 1978 film version, follows his life and career up until his tragic death in a plane accident in 1959, at the age of 22. As one of the first jukebox musicals, The Buddy Holly Story paved the way for hit shows such as Mamma Mia!.
Buddy: The Buddy Holly Musical features 15 songs from the stage musical including That'll Be The Day and Peggy Sue arranged for Voice, Piano and Guitar with lyrics and Guitar chord boxes.

Craft Table Desk. Whether you are a sewing fanatic or you simply take pleasure in unwinding pastimes, a sewing table can be a fantastic addition to your home. A craft table is a crucial piece of furniture for people who like to work on hand-crafted jobs, particularly if you have a leisure activity or stitching space dedicated to your favorite activities. You can use it to stitch, do other crafts, and shop all your supplies.
There are numerous reasons people prefer to buy sewing tables for their craft jobs rather than utilizing average tables they already possess. For one point, a craft table should be the ideal dimension. Most individuals don't have a great deal of space to save. Whether you live in a home or an apartment, space can be a bit of an issue. Throughout the years, people tend to collect ownerships, furniture, clothing, and decors. You might be considering committing among the tables you already possess particularly to your stitching and crafting, however it's not constantly such a smart idea in practice. Craft Table Desk.
Stitching equipment tables are created to be versatile. You can place a sewing table in your leisure activity space or anywhere where you have some vacuum. If you have a special space where you like to stitch and work on other crafts, after that a craft table is an indispensable piece of furniture.craft table desk,craft table desk plans,

|The original vocab word was "shackle."
Unfortunately, the VP had a couple dozen other classes to check. Desperate to avoid the chaos that naturally follows bored kids, I tried a few practice activities. No go; the students were indignant about doing schoolwork while on the floor. Finally, I tried the Telephone Game.
My students were from all over the world and had never heard of the game.We giggled as we whispered our sentence from ear to ear. I was proud knowing that they were getting feedback on their pronunciation and that we were under control...until everyone busted up laughing when the last person said what she had heard: "I am a student learning English" had become "I see eggs and nurse."
StoryLines for Schools is a combination of the Telephone Game and Pictionary. Like my classroom game, it is silly fun with some fun practice built in. The silly way to play is easy, and I actually think this would be a fun activity for English Language Learners in particular (though we play it at home and we are pretty good at English). Student A writes a sentence or chooses an idiom. The iPad is passed to the next student. Student B sees the idiom or sentence and draws a representation of it. iPad is passed again and Student C writes what he thinks he sees.
Another way to play is to have the students write in their vocab words, or they can build general word skills by choosing from elementary, intermediate, or SAT vocab. This would be a really fun "station" game and a fun time killer after tests or when you're saying, ducking and covering.
- Does it do what it says it'll do? Yep. Low expectations: "A game of telephone with pictures." check.
- Does it solve a current problem in the classroom? Ok, not really.
- Does it create a new opportunity in the classroom? Ok, not really, either. You could do the silly way with paper. But a kid could practice SAT words in a small group -- it's a fun idea to think of what "stations" could look like for older kids. I know my ESL kids liked them a lot.
- Would Thomas Jefferson think it was cool? Well, it does give students a higher-order-thinking way to practice vocabulary, and finding motivating ways to extend practice time on important things like words would've definitely floated TJ's boat.

Nine Questions with Artist Rachel Matos
Rachel Matos is a 23 year old Latina artist residing in Miami, Florida. Born in San Diego, she moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 3. Rachel lived in Puerto Rico until the age of 13 and then moved to Miami. She currently works as an art teacher in the hopes of traveling and inspiring others around the world with her art.
When did you have your epiphany that you were meant to be an artist?
I actually began taking private art lessons in Puerto Rico at the age of 12 but it wasn't until I got to middle school and I painted, what back then seemed like the best painting in the world, a picture of a girl in a basketball court. Looking back now I don't know exactly what gave me so much confidence about my talents but ever since that painting I knew there was nothing else I wanted to do than be an artist. No matter what the cost.
What are the factors that influence you? What is your muse?
I have always been very interested in the female figure as a thing of beauty; the power that we have as women and how we can use our bodies as power rather than as an object. The urban world has also had an effect on me as far as my color palette goes. My paintings tend to be very bright and alive, very saturated in resemblance to graffiti. Many things catch my eye but for some reason I always end up tying it back to the figure and the urban.
We don't want to sound cliché, but as a woman and Latina, do you find that there are greater challenges in the art world for you?
I think there is definitely a stereotype for Latino artist. Many of us paint very traditional with traditional subjects like landscape of our home countries, of typical Latin imagery or images that talk about how we have been oppressed. I think getting over this stereotype and surprising my audience and art collector with new and fresh ideas will be my biggest challenges. It is always hard to be young and a woman since most artist don't make names for themselves until much older. But this is why I think Miami is a perfect stepping stone for me to branch out in because of the large Hispanic community here and the city life compliments my painting style.
What one word drives you?
Determination. My father is a very important influence in my life and every time I am having a lazy moment or I am in an artistic rut he always brings this word up. He tells me I have to determine to make more paintings to get out there and make more contacts. I have to be determined to want to succeed because no else is going to do it for me. With out determination and drive you cant accomplish anything. For me this word is what really keeps me going when I need it most
Okay so you knew it was coming, what is up with all the "nalgas"?
Hahaha. Like I said before the female figure is beautiful, intimidating and graceful. I think what is the most interesting part is that it can be all of this at once. "Nalgas" are just a part of who we are, especially Hispanic women. My paintings say "we should not be ashamed, we should embrace". Our bodies are a source of power. Most of my figure paintings are power poses that when placed in the right setting can be very intimidating, which is what I am trying to convey.
The titles of your pieces featuring women have strong messages (You ain't getting mine, I ain't your b*, I ain't washing no dishes) while seeming to expose the vulnerable side of women through the nudes. Are you talking about the objectification of women and specifically Latinas? We notice that you paint images of sexy women, gangsta ladies- is this a commentary on how Latinas are viewed?
The point of my figure series is to convey the power the female figure has. To many, the nude figure might seem vulnerable but to me the naked body is a symbol of confidence. Depicting these women naked is a way of conveying how our bodies are a source of empower, how we can intimidate while still being beautiful and sexy. My paintings are aggressive. These women can be me, they can be someone you know, and they can be you. These women symbolize all women who are not afraid of getting want they want and who aren't ashamed of who they are. The bandanas are what create this "any women, but no women" effect, by covering their faces I am taking away their identity yet giving them identity by allowing the audience to become these women. The bandanas also serve as another source of intimidation; similar to the way they are used in gangs. A symbol of that urban influence.
What kind of advice do you have for someone who
aspires to be an artist?
Don't give up, don't let people discourage you from chasing your dreams. As artist we will always have doubters you have to use them as fuel for whatever your next protect is.
Congratulations on reaching the finals for Miller Lite Latino, how can we help you win? What would it mean to you to win the competition?
Anyone who has Facebook can go to the Miller Lite Latino page and vote for me in the "expressa tu passion" tab. My painting will be up some time next week for the semifinal round.
To win this competition would mean the push I need to really have my name known and it will get me on my way to accomplish my dream of being an artist. It would reassure me that what I do impacts people.
Any final words?
I just hope people realize how important the arts are to life, especially for young children. If you are an artist it is really important that we keep art alive, we need to give back whenever we can. Children are the ones who will carry the arts to the next generation, we have to do our part to get them interested, to get them started. Art creates hope, joy and most importantly inspiration. Without art life would be boring.

The Best Advice About Parts I've Ever Written
The Benefits Of Automotive Tools And Parts
Once in a while every individual has had a problem with their car may it be a tire puncture or a problem with the battery and it is often annoying especially when someone is in a hurry only for their car to break down amidst the busy schedule. It is important for individuals to have tools and parts in their car just in case of an emergency so that they can be able to get a quick fix of their car.
There are a few essential apparatus and hardware's that a driver ought to have in their auto constantly and these incorporates a jack, an extra tire, jumper links, emergency treatment pack and a blaze light among different sorts of instruments and equipment's. These sort of instruments tend to have a goliath preferred standpoint to the auto proprietor in that it gives the auto proprietor a noteworthy tranquility and from this time forward they can have the ability to drive despite for longer voyages as they understand that they have their gadgets and equipment's which they may need to utilize if there ought to be an event of a breakdown for example if there should be an occurrence of a tire cut the individual can have the ability to change the additional tire and proceed with their outing quiet.
Having save apparatuses in your auto is additionally esteemed to be cost putting something aside for instance if there should arise an occurrence of a punctured tire one can have the capacity to settle the tire without anyone else's input by transforming it with the extra tire rather than contracting a technician to settle the tire for you as they have a tendency to be extremely costly thus one gets the opportunity to spare a touch of cash which they can put into other utilize.

Gotta Get Back...Jul. 13th, 2006 11:40 pm
Two weeks, two shows, three out of four sweltering days at the Festival for the Eno, a day at work followed by a long drive up to Rochester, NY to do yet another show -- and to visit with longtime friend Stephe and his wife and genuinely wonderful person in her own right, whom I will happily refer to as Rose -- breaking down from that show on Sunday and immediately driving the first leg of the trip back home that night, followed by a very long day's worth of driving the next day to actually get home.
Bonn had recommended that I take the following day off. I agreed (rare for me) and told her that I'd be doing nothing but sleeping and taking it easy. So I got up at 10, ate breakfast, went back to sleep, got up around one, puttered around, took a nap from three to seven and got to bed around eleven. Bonn fails to understand how anyone can sleep so much, especially when there's always so much to do around the house.
Bonn is also convinced she wants us to move to Canada. Or Rochester.
I think we've just started creating our own five year plan.
More later.

Beautifully crafted. It looks and feels like an art piece. Caveat: if you have a small wrist (less than 6") you will have to add holes to the strap.

Comments about Wide Leather Cuff, Pewter front:
I bought this year's ago in pewter. It still looks brand new. I've never seen a leather bracelet made this beautifully-- and with a sterling buckle! The dye is also a beautiful color. It really is special. It is likely VERY beautiful in every color.
Thank you.

A science graduate of Annamalai University, K. Balachander while working in the Accountant General's Office as a Superintendent in the 1960s, came to prominence as an amateur playwright with his dynamic plays like Major Chandrakanth, Server Sundaram, Neerkumizhi, Mezhuguvarthi, and Navagraham. The plays, which were produced and directed by him, were an instant success and enjoyed both popular and critical acclaim.
He entered the film industry in 1965 and shot into fame with his very first film Neerkumizhi. Since then he has been a prolific film maker and written and directed film in many languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. The Hindi film Ek Duje Ke Liye, written and directed by him in 1981, proved to be a trendsetter and became a source of inspiration to film makers all over India in scripting a love story.
Though working in mainstream commercial cinema, his films are uncompromisingly unique, thought provoking and varied in structure; often dealing with subjects of socio-political relevance. He has been a staunch advocate of the cause of women in Indian Society and their upliftment. The problems of middle-class milieu have often come under his microscopic inspection. He has argued against the evils of drinking and propounded the cause of selfless service to society. He has always been a film believer that films should convey a message in some form or other.
He has written, directed and produced more than 100 films and these have provided numerous opportunities for technicians such as cinematographers, music directors, and play-back singers to demonstrate their talent in full measure and win awards at the state as well as National Levels. He has the uncanny knack of spotting talent. He has been responsible for bringing into limelight and molding many stars of the present day. In his career, his contribution to the Tamil film industry is marked by the introduction of more than 65 actors, actresses and technicians. Notable names include Kamal Hassan, Rajinikanth, Prakash Raj, Vivek and A. R. Rahman.
Undaunted by the entry of so many new filmmakers and directors, K. Balachander has stood the test of time by continuing to make films and prove his mettle for almost five decades. With varied choice of subjects and innovative approaches, he is a constant source of inspiration for emerging new directors. It would be no exaggeration to state that K. Balachander is to upcoming directors what Shri Sivaji Ganesan is to budding artists.
His courage of conviction in his subject and his ability to get the best out of people explains the phenomenal success of his films both in artistic as well as in commercial terms. The last few years, he has also turned his attention to the small screen and has brought to it the same perfection and intensity that he exhibited on the large screen. His first Television serial Rail Sneham telecast in 1990 on Doordarshan is still remembered as a trend setter and his Kai Alavu Manasu is reputed to have made a Channel. He introduced the very concept of 'Mega Serials' with Raghu Vamsam on SUN TV and showed the way to the youth how even Mega Serial can be meaningful and taut with Anni and Sahana, both on Jaya TV. His films, his characters and his narrative style have become a matter of study for Doctorate students around the globe.
our new innovative website is coming soon... This is dedicated to all our fans and followers....
In the recent times K. Balachander acted in a film named Rettaisuzhi together with Bharathiraja which is produced by Director Shankar.....
Received 'Dadasaheb Phalke' award from President Smt.Prathiba Patil for the year 2010.
Mr.Bharathan introduced "Kolaveri" fame Dhanush to IIM in the recent months....

Audio: Investors urged to keep faith with Japan
Japan's natural disaster will at most shave 1%-2% off GDP before public spending and reconstruction give the economy a kick-start, according to Martin Currie portfolio manager John-Paul Temperley.
Temperley, who co-manages the Martin Currie Japan Absolute Return Fund, said the area where the main force of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami occurred accounted for around 8% of Japan's total GDP.
"Although in terms of the human tragedy it is huge, the long-term economic impact will be fairly sli

Sakena Yacoobi and the Afghan Institute of Learning
A little over a year ago I read Greg Mortenson's Stones into Schools, the sequel to his Three Cups of Tea and was very moved by it. An American, Mortenson describes his work collaborating with Afghan communities to provide schools for girls, while, at the same time, weaving his narrative with Afghan history and the role of education in empowering women and transforming communities. I put the book on my independent reading list for my students and ended up telling a number of people that they had to read this book.
Then, in April, along with countless others, I was disillusioned when Jon Krakauer (author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air) published an essay exposing fault lines in the Mortenson story. I went online to discover what I could. A piece by Marc Maxson, a teacher who has done some work with Global Giving, caught my attention:
The real sad part is that for every Greg that destroys our public trust in non-profits, there are 99 other legitimate organizations doing the same work that suffer from it. The public generalizes their distrust to other organizations. So I am here to tell you that the real Greg Mortenson – by which I mean a leader in Afghanistan who has put over a hundred thousand girls in school and never exaggerated her impact, nor the daily threats she faces on her life for doing so, is none other than Sakena Yacoobi.
I happened to be reading Half the Sky at the time and then realized, aha, Yacoobi was one of the changemakers featured in the book.
I can't fully know Greg Mortenson's story. At best, he seems to have stretched the truth in places as well as perhaps allowed his organization to grow faster than he was able to sustain. What I've realized though is that I can take what's good from his book – his enthusiasm for the role of education as transformative in Afghanistan – and, rather than generalizing my distrust, simply transfer my enthusiasm. Thus far, everything I've been able to find about Sakena Yacoobi points to the integrity and wisdom of her work.
Sakena Yacoobi is an Afghan Muslim woman, born and raised in Herat, who was able, with her parents' blessing, to receive an education. She's been paying this gift forward ever since.
Unable to attend Kabul University because of violence, she came to the United States, completing college and then a master's degree in public health. She was working as a health consultant and college teacher in the U.S. when, in the early nineties, she traveled to Pakistan to visit Afghan refugee camps. Moved by what she saw in the camps, especially among the women and children, she moved to Pakistan, eventually bringing her work into Afghanistan. During that time, the Taliban barred girls from receiving an education. She responded by organizing secret underground schools in people's homes, eighty in all.
In 1995, she founded the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), a grassroots organization whose mission is to provide education, especially to women and children. The AIL provides schools and teacher-training along with legal and human rights workshops. They've also expanded into health clinics and the training of nurse-midwives. Throughout, the emphasis is on training women to become leaders so that these centers for health and education can become independent.
Though they serve approximately 350,000 students a year, Ms. Yacoobi says there is still a long way to go. She travels with a bodyguard because of frequent threats on her life in the name of Islam. In an interview with Half the Sky authors, she says:
From my heart, I tell you: if they were educated, they would not behave like that. The Koran has quotation after quotation that says you must treat women well. Those people who do bad things, they are not educated . . . these people are afraid of educating women—they are afraid that the women will ask questions, will speak up . . . That's why I believe in education. It is such a powerful tool to overcome poverty and rebuild the country. If we took the foreign aid that goes to guns and weapons and just took one quarter of that and put it into education, that would completely transform this country.
What is the saying? From her lips to God's ears? From her lips to the world's ears? If we took the foreign aid that goes to guns and weapons and just took one quarter of that and put it into education, that would completely transform this country.
Education as transformative. This is why she feels to me like the right choice to launch this healing corridor here. Her work is the kind of work that I want to support, in whatever way that I can.

Ever wonder how the different events in your life have directed you to where you are now? I've wondered the same about my life -- how did a farm boy from southern Minnesota become deeply involved in Internet Marketing and Webmarketing? Not that I have any answers; I just simply wonder. That's what I do a lot of. I ask questions and look for possibilities.
That "question" thing holds true in just about everything I do, including Internet Marketing. I love to look at a business and ask "why". It could be a process, could be a policy, could be an assumption, or whatever. I love to ask the questions and question the assumptions.
By doing that I - and my client - can better understand this puzzle of WebMarketing. And it is a unique puzzle for every client. No two clients are the same, and no solutions to the puzzle are the same. Of course there are guidelines ("The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules." -- Barbossa, Pirates of the Caribbean) and they certainly provide a framework. In fact, I've got some great frameworks that you can build on in my [show me] service.
But if you are looking to go deeper, or need some help solving the puzzle, I would love to get in the game with you - check out my Show Me, and my "Do it for Me" services.
Hey, I'm not going to try to pretend to you that Nerdman's is a large corporation with thousands of employees. That's what a lot of Internet Marketers try to do, and I think that it is a disservice.
I'm about the personal touch. Nerdman's is me, plus a number of other experts and resources that I've lined up over the years of working in technology and marketing. I focus on you, and your business. Who do you turn to for advice on technology and business products? Frankly, I get a lot of questions from friends and family on what to get, or how to do something — they consider me the trusted Nerd (hmmm, I wonder where the site name Nerdmans came from). So rather than just trying to keep the information in my head (no way my brain can handle it!) I decided to share my info with anyone. Some clients are just in start-up mode while other clients have existing thriving businesses. In all cases, it is about me helping you to achieve your goals online.

She's definitely not a Christian artist, so I really don't recommend her as an artist; I just like this particular song by her.

Concentrating on Glenville State College loan deferment form, for example, may give you additional focus in the financial assistance selection and award process.

Please use the form above to request application info for Glenville State College.
Student loans can come from the federal government or from private sources such as a bank, credit union, or other financial institution. The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document in which you promise to repay your student loans and accrued interest to the US Department of Education. It also explains the terms and conditions of the federal loan program, including applying for subsidized federal Stafford Loans, Perkins loans, and supplemental loans for undergraduate students. In fact, the William D Ford Federal Direct Loan Program is the largest federal student aid loan program.
Before you take out a loan, it's important to understand that a loan is a binding legal obligation that you will be responsible for, and must repay with interest. You may not have to begin repaying your federal student loans right away, but it's important not to borrow more than you really need for your school-related expenses. Many students have been caught unawares after they graduate, with a heavy debt burden consuming a large percentage of their income.

About Speakers League
Are you looking for a fun way to develop your child's confidence? Speakers League is a great place to develop public speaking, critical thinking, leadership, and organizational skills.
Practical, hands-on experience is where real learning happens. In Speakers League, members jump in almost immediately to manage the meetings and present before the group.
Bypassing or conquering a fear of public speaking can position children to succeed on many levels in life. Social phobias often start with shyness in childhood or early adolescence, and progress during adolescence, according to scientific studies. By deciding to join a Speakers League Club you are giving a gift to your child, positioning him or her to become a confident and poised leader of the future.
Our goal with our Speakers League clubs is to develop the public speaking and leadership skills of homeschoolers ages 10 and up. (Serious-minded younger ones are welcome too. Click here to find out if your child is ready.) We welcome homeschoolers of every stripe. We have independent homeschoolers and families who have joined different public and private school programs. We are a very diverse group. Everyone is welcome.
Click on a club location
What's involved?
Speakers League clubs meet for an hour and a half, twice per month, between September and May (plus our annual conference on the second Saturday in June). Members receive a 40-page member handbook with details on meetings and how to do the club roles. There are also training videos. Members are scheduled in advance for roles at the meetings and newer members start with easier roles like Timekeeper, and Vote Counter, as they familiarize themselves with the club. There is an adult supervisor, but the kids essentially run the meetings themselves.
As space permits, we accept new members throughout the year.

McClintock's Farm has been part of the Comox Valley's local food economy since Gerry and Val moved to Dove Creek Rd 25 years ago. But the roots are much deeper than that as their daughter Sandra is now a 6th generation farmer in the family. On a sunny day in March Gerry talks to hanspetermeyer about farming as constant change, about how they've moved from hay and cow and calf to berries, and now to water buffalo dairy.
This is part of a series on Comox Valley Farmers' Market producers.

The digital librarian has no long term memory other than what is captured in the library.

I've finally got an account on micro.blog. Looks interesting.
I've been moving all my photos to Flickr lately. It's been a long process, one complicated by the fact that it seems silly to run my own WordPress installation (and things like ArchivesWiki) if I'm not going to bother hosting everything myself. Of course, that's not really very logical, and so I've decided that it's perfectly okay to host photos on Flickr, videos on YouTube, and all the text (and miscellaneous) stuff here on my own server.
After being inspired by Ewan McAndrew at Wikimania, I've taken a crack at doing my own video about importing books from the Internet Archive into Wikisource:
There are a few mistakes here, and as I've yet to figure out how to edit videos properly (I've only managed to hang my video editing software so far), they've stayed in; I'll do another video correcting things.
The pagelist creation process is probably the hardest bit for beginners to Wikisource, and it's something we need to work on. Metadata copying, on the other hand, mostly works fine (of course, we should not be copying the metadata, but that's another story).
Today is All The Stations' "have an adventure" day, in which they're asking people to visit a railway station that they've never been to before. When I first heard about it I figured I have to end up at somewhere boring like Aubin Grove but as it turns out I'm actually at Wikimania in Montreal! So it's rather easy to find a station to which I've never been; in fact, with the assistance of a friend, I have today been to seven new stations.
Place d'Armes (no photo).
And also Windsor, which isn't actually a station any more:
I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with a gang of Wikimedians and led by the wonderful Wikimedians in Residence at the Met, Neil and Richard. It was the day before we were all to catch the Adirondack (Amtrak #69) to New York, and it was raining, and I was completely jet-lagged from the trip from Australia the day before.
But it was wonderful!
After an initial (whirlwind) tour by Richard, our group of a dozen or so organically decided that we'd really quite like a bit of alone time, and went our separate ways around the hundreds (literally!) of gallery rooms in the museum.
I found George Washington of greenback fame:
But reasonably quickly gave up on being a good art-looker and hid myself in the cafeteria with an overly-salty soup and some dry crackers… I'd been up since 3 already, and wasn't sure I'd make it through the rest of the afternoon without crying.
However, after lunch I found the Frank Lloyd Wright room and the American Arts and Crafts items; and what a joy it was.
I remember Greene & Greene vaguely from my days at art school, but seeing their armchair (1992.127) and library table (1981.316) was a breath of fresh air, and a reminder of the joy of truth to materials. These were pieces in which one could see the reality of the work. Ebony through-tenons in a table-top? That's a beautiful idea!
Then Gustave Stickley in the next room: his library table (1976.389.1) with a leather-clad top, screwed down with steel butterfly lugs (to the outside of the rails), and sidways-pegged tenons to the six legs. The inside bottom rails didn't intersect, but are stacked on one another; such obviousness!
Stickley's sideboard: the doors are solid boards, jointed only with butterfly through tenons and seemingly no other bracing (they don't need any). This stuff is about design, not so much for the Common Person, but for the Common Craftsperson. Design that makes things easy to make, honest in their representation of the abilities of the materials, and from those things to exhibit a raw and accessible beauty.
After that I returned to the open storage area, where large numbers of items from the collection are displayed in shelved glass-fronted cases, with as many items squeezed in as possible. It's not the most flattering way to see some things, but then most of it was overly-ornamented 19th century stuff that I had little interest in. The good stuff, the simple and wooden furniture, was if anything enhanced by being often up higher than eye level (we could see underneath it with ease).
One piece caught my eye, and a visit to the weird huge touch-screens taught me that it was actually another Stickley piece (well, built by him; designed by Harvey Ellis). A small writing desk, 1981.440.1:
This simplicity of construction gives an easier path between the designer and the maker (ideally, the two should be the same person). These ideas were explored more in Stickley's journal The Craftsman (1901–16); I shall see if we can add these to Wikisource.
The Met has uploaded a huge number of images to Wikimedia Commons, and so as I went around I tried not to take a million photos—there are so many better ones already on the web, and freely usable. But I had to take some, either as aide-mémoires or because it seemed unlikely that the professional photographers would have paid close enough attention to the things that I am interested in. So I'll upload at least a few new ones to Commons; the rest of mine can stay on Flickr.
And rain, I mustn't forget the rain. I'm worrying about the roof, although far less than I used to (it's a different roof). The jazz is the radio; it's on.
But the main point this morning is exploring the mediawiki-lts package maintained by Legoktm. I've been meaning to look at it for a while, and switch my (non-playground) wikis over to it, but there's never enough time. Not that there's enough time now, but I'm just trying to get it running locally for two wikis (yes, the smallest possible farm).
So, in simple steps, I first added the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:legoktm/mediawiki-lts
This created
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/legoktm-ubuntu-mediawiki-lts-xenial.list. Then I updated the package info:
sudo apt-get update
And installed the package:
sudo apt install mediawiki
At this point, the installation prompt for MediaWiki 1.27.3 was available at http://localhost/mediawiki/ (which luckily doesn't conflict with anything I already had locally) and I stepped through the installer, creating a new database and DB user via phpMyAdmin as I went, and answering all the questions appropriately. (It's actually been a while since I last saw the installer properly.) The only tricky thing I found was that it asks for the "Directory for deleted files" but not for the actual directory for all files — because I want the files to be stored in a particular place and not in
/usr/share/mediawiki/images/, especially as I want there to be two different wikis that don't share files.
I made a typo in my database username in the installation form, and got a "Access denied for user x to database y" error. I hit the browser's back button, and then the installer's back buttons, to go back to the relevant page in the installer, fixed the typo and proceeded. It remembered everything correctly, and this time installed the database tables, with only one error. This was "Notice: JobQueueGroup::__destruct: 1 buffered job(s) of type(s) RecentChangesUpdateJob never inserted. in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/jobqueue/JobQueueGroup.php on line 447". Didn't seem to matter.
At the end of the installer, it prompted me to download LocalSettings.php and put it at
/etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php which I did:
sudo mv ~/LocalSettings.php /etc/mediawiki/. sudo chown root:root /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php sudo chmod 644 /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
And then I had a working wiki at
I wanted a different URL, so edited
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (in order to not modify the package-provided
/etc/mediawiki/mediawiki.conf) to add:
Alias /mywiki /var/lib/mediawiki
And changed the following in
$wgScriptPath = "/mywiki";
The multiple wikis will have to wait until later, as will the backup regime.
As of today, my shed can finally be locked up. Time now to decide where to put things.
Is it a coincidence that Jeremy Corbyn on Dead Ringers is rather similar-sounding to their Brian Cox?

Following in the footsteps of 2014's Pen & Ink, a book based on the simple premise of asking people about the meaning and significance of their tattoos, Fitzgerald and MacNaughton focus on one of the most visibly tattooed professions, interviewing 65 people in the food and hospitality industry. The authors continue their winning approach, with MacNaughton's illustrations of the tattoo in question accompanying Fitzgerald's profile of the subject. The best entries in this collection are about tattoos that show the passion and dedication each person brings to their craft in the kitchen. Kate Romane, owner and chef at E2 Restaurant in Pittsburgh, has a tattoo of the Library of Congress call number for The Joy of Cooking. Joe Palma, who runs an open kitchen at a restaurant in Queens, N.Y., has a tattoo of crossed knives on his hand, used to showcase his pride and commitment to his work and as a kind of hello to customers watching him cook. The book also features recipes supplied by a handful of chefs, ranging from the very simple (such as a basic seasoning rub) to dishes best left in the hands of the pros (such as pork head rillette and an elaborate tater tot casserole). Readers are sure to devour this in a single sitting. (Oct.)

Apple Decorating Bill Graham Civic Auditorium Ahead of Next Week's Event !
Ahead of next week's big iPhone-centric event, Apple has begun decorating the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco where the event will take place. As shared by several Twitter and Instagram users, signs with the Apple logo are beginning to go up, and several Apple-branded flags are flying.
A white Apple logo with rainbow-colored accents against a blue background is shown on one wall of the auditorium, shared by CBS/CNET photographer James Martin. The same design was seen on the invitations for the event and was created to mimic Siri's look on the Apple Watch and iOS 9.
Security is heavy around the auditorium, with security guards and police officers guarding signage that's being put up, according to someone on site who spoke to MacRumors and provided pictures. Some of the security guards are now wearing outfits with Apple logos on them.
The colorful Apple logos are accompanied several flags surrounding the auditorium, featuring a white Apple logo on a dark blue background. Swarms of workers are all over the perimeter of the auditorium, running cables up walls into the interior and building out the infrastructure needed for the event.
Along with the flags, Apple has decorated light posts in the area with matching Siri-style banners in a dark blue shade. The decorations for the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium are already beginning to outshine decorations and signage used at past events, and Apple is likely to continue adding more over the course of the weekend.
Apple's upcoming Wednesday, September 9 event is expected to be huge. The auditorium where it's being held seats 7,000, and the company may be using some of the available space to demo products that will be released. The event will see the debut of an unprecedented number of devices, including the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the new Apple TV, the iPad mini 4, and the iPad Pro.
Apple is also expected to introduce additional Apple Watch Sport materials, perhaps in gold, and new Sport bands. An iPad keyboard may also make an appearance at the event, and we'll also get release details for iOS 9 and watchOS 2.

The Grand kids look forward to their annual camping trip with "Nana and Pa" every year. This year however Dakota, who just turned 15 declined to go. Brooke and Savannah were the first ones to go this year.
When we found our campsite and started setting up, they were asked if they would like to help. They both got big smiles on their faces and said sure! So their first job was to pound the stakes that hold the sun screen attached to the awning.
I gave encouraging advice so they wouldn't give up. I sure didn't want to get on the ground to pound them in! We took turns pounding in the stakes, first Brooke then Savannah.
Needless to say the ground around those stakes really took a beating! But it wasn't long and all 5 stakes were pounded into the ground and holding the sun screen. Tomorrow we will work on the firewood.
Then it was time for a trip down the "Lazy River" here at the RV Park.
It's one of the favorite places for the kids. They liked it so well they were there at least 3 hours.
After an afternoon at the Lazy River it was time for supper. We prepared breaded chicken fingers with corn on the cob and green beans. Mmmm Good! Everyone enjoyed their dinner, and as soon as they were done Brooke and Savannah headed for the bridge over the lake to feed the fish. Nana and Pa stayed back and rested.
By 9:30 we were all ready to turn in for the night. Tomorrow promises to be another busy, fun day!
Until next time, be safe and God Bless.

BWW Interview: Brian Watkins of GENERAL STORE at Creede Repertory Theatre
Creede Repertory Theatre spoke with playwright Brian Watkins about his upcoming world premiere of "General Store." Last summer, "General Store" was developed as a part of Creede Rep's Headwaters New Play Festival, and was one of the most talked about plays in Headwaters New Play Festival history.
CRT: I know you worked on an earlier version of GENERAL STORE with director Christy Montour-Larson (CML) at the Seven Devils Playwrights Conference a few years ago, but had it been read publicly before that?
BW: I took a very early draft to Seven Devils, so that was the first time it was publicly read aloud, and where CML and I first worked together. Shortly following that it had workshops and readings at Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre and LAByrinth Theatre in NYC.
CRT: What inspired you specifically to write this play?
BW: It's sometimes hard to remember where plays begin, as there's typically an inexpressible quality that is the essence of its origin; something I can't categorize or describe but rather something elusive I want to chase. (If I could catch it, perhaps the play wouldn't need to exist.) I can look at an amalgam of life experiences and sources that maybe seem to cohere this play - the 2008 financial crisis; a hunt for a rodent intruder; this amazing Yale lecture on Smith's "invisible hand" and the cognitive limits of data-driven market strategies - but I think the main thing that held my imagination captive while writing it was the central dramatic image of a great search for something elusive under the floorboards.
CRT: Any other random thoughts, trivia, musings about the play?
BW: Without giving too much away, the play takes us on quite a ride. Our design meetings have been a lot of fun - the whole team set out from the beginning to stretch our imaginations and resources to the limit. Our hope was always to make the crisis of the store viscerally felt in a way you might not experience all that often in the theatre.
The play deals a lot with the unknowable nature of crisis. CML and I have talked a lot about how it doesn't do the linear narrative work of resolving questions, but rather asks one question in order to soon plumb another one deeper. I'm curious to hear which of those questions most resonates with CRT's audience in particular.
CRT: Being from Colorado originally, had you heard about CRT before submitting to Headwaters? Any thoughts about having the GS World Premiere occur in a remote area of Colorado?
BW: I had not heard of CRT until Christy Montour-Larson told me that it was a company I should pay attention to. I think my first thought was "Where is Creede and how does it have it have a professional theatre company?" Even though I had grown up in Colorado, I hadn't heard of the town. Jessica Jackson and I started up a conversation about my work and CRT. I sent her General Store, which was read for Headwaters last year. During that week, Jess and I both agreed that we shouldn't pursue doing this beast unless we could actually do it. We talked a lot about the play's immense design demands (something that was incredibly important to me), how CRT would have to alter their typical rep format and pull in resources from everywhere they could. We talked about the importance of exertion and danger in the play, something she didn't want to shy away from. Jess was game to tackle it all. When they asked to produce the play, CRT had already strategized how they'd execute everything I was concerned about, so it was an easy choice to say yes. With new plays, more than anything, you're looking for collaborators and producers that are front-footed and ready to take risks. I guess sometimes you find them in remote parts of Colorado. It requires a mix of artistic integrity, creative resourcefulness, and a willingness to take risks to do this kind of play, and I'm happy that CRT has all of those in spades. I hope other theatres take on CRT's pioneering attitude and follow suit.
The World Premiere of "General Store" runs August 18th and runs until September 16th at Creede Repertory Theatre in Colorado. For more information and to order tickets online, visit www.creederep.org.
As a cultural home for artists, residents, and visitors of the West, Creede Repertory Theatre creates a diverse repertory season of plays, new works, and dynamic education programs. Founded in 1966, Creede Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company located at 9,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Each season, CRT produces 7-10 plays in rotating repertory, hosts numerous musical events and concerts, develops new works through the Headwaters New Play Program, and offers nationally recognized educational programming. USA Today called CRT "one of the 10 best places to see the lights way off Broadway" and The Denver Post hailed CRT as "legendary" and "one of the state's top five theatre companies."

text: Do you like it when folks refer to you as "Sir" or "M'am" when addressing you- particularly if they are the same age or younger? Since I know that tone, body language and the like play a part in how we interpret what people say to us, for the sake of the question, you can assume that the tone isn't sarcastic and that the person doing the addressing is not being disingenuous in any way. Anyway, I always wondered if you thought that was respectful or condescending. Thanks for all you do.

Statistiques de Vent de Machir Bay (Islay), moyennes sur Avril depuis 2006
The rose diagram shows how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical April. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 2160 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Machir Bay (Islay), located 25 km away (16 miles). There are too few recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the dominant wind at Machir Bay (Islay) blows from the W. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Machir Bay (Islay). By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average April, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 6% of the time (2 days each April) and blows offshore 27% of the time (8 days in an average April). In a typical April winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Machir Bay (Islay)
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.
