Medina Community Band*
Celebrating its' 150th Summer Season
Summer 2009
Friday, June 5th, 2009
Why a town band? What possessed people of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to pay for support of and to hear a group or relatively untutored amateur fellow townsmen tootling away on a bunch of shiny horns? What possessed those fellow townsmen to try to learn, generally with little or no expert help, to play this array of shiny horns, and then to put up with weekly rehearsals and come out to play at a wide variety of town functions? The answers in a few words are - pride, sociability, hunger for entertainment, and later, habit.
Whether marching in parades on the Fourth of July, welcoming visiting dignitaries and officials to town, or "discoursing sweet music," bands - either primarily or exclusively brass in instrumentation - were unquestionably the most visible and audible musical organizations of the day. The Village of Medina, sometime in 1859 prior to a "serenade" by the Seville and Medina bands on 15 September, joined the growing number of communities in America that supported a town band.
The first mention of the community band in the Medina County Gazette (then the Leader Post) was in 1859, in a small notice on September 15, which stated that the band made an appearance along with the Seville Band in performing before several prominent citizens in Medina.

All Band members were male, with most of them in their early 20s, and early on all were from the Village of Medina. Commensurate with their young age, most of the members were workmen, clerks, or students. All were volunteers.
No record has been found listing the musical selections the band played. They performed three evening serenades outside the homes of prominent local men, including H.G. Blake, a member of Congress who lived in the Village, six concerts or practices open free or otherwise to the public, and marched in the 1860 Fourth of July parade. Other performances were held in such places as Phoenix Hall - third floor of the building that is the site of the present FirstMerit Bank building, the public park square, the Medina County Fairgrounds, and the "Brick Church" - an 1833 Congregational church building, rebuilt in 1881 as a new Congregational church, which is now the United Church of Christ Congregational on the northeast corner of the Medina Town Square.
The first director was a professional musician from Akron, a Professor Dustin Marble, hired to organize the band and teach the members. The band members purchased their own instruments and hired the Professor as an instructor and part-time director.
Music for the early Medina Cornet band probably came from such publications as the Brass Band Journal. In 1853 Firth, Pond and Company of New York began the publication of its Brass Band Journal, probably the first American publication of saxhorn pieces. A similar publication appeared in Cincinnati in 1859. It consisted, for the most part, of popular dances and quicksteps arranged from piano pieces for a band of from six to twelve players and was published by W. C. Peters & Sons as Peters' Sax-Horn Journal.
The Civil War probably contributed to the apparent decline in band activities after that great start. Very little was reported for the next 27 months of the band's history. We have not been able to find any information regarding the band from March 1863 through July of 1865.
In July 1865, a number of energetic citizens united and organized a Cornet Band. The band was furnished with a full set of new instruments at the cost to the organization of $725. The cornets, at least, were silver coated, which lead to the name "Medina Silver Cornet Band." The band was under the joint direction of Worden Babcock (pictured at left) of Medina and Professor Marble. Financial support came not only from admission to indoor concerts, but also from donations by individuals. For some reason, the band was not mentioned in 1868 or 1869 and the Lodi Cornet Band led Medina's 1869 Decoration Day parade. There was no organized Independence Day celebration of any kind reported in 1869.
The first portion of this concert will be performed by brass instruments (horns, cornets, trumpets, euphoniums, tubas) and percussion as what might have been heard when the Medina Silver Cornet Band first serenaded Medina residents. The music you will hear in this portion comes from The Brass Band Journal, published in engraved pocket-sized parts that could easily fit on the lyre or an instrument. The Journal, complete at 24 selections, is about the earliest band music printed in America for saxhorns. This family of valved brass-winds, developed in Paris in the 1840s by Adolph Sax, was popularized in the United States about 1850.
G.W.E. Friederich was the composer-arranger of the Brass Band Journal and we can only speculate about his life. His scoring epitomizes the most attractive features of the early American band style, characterized by a simple, transparent texture, with the "agile" flugelhorns or cornets in the leading role. Conceived for amateurs, the music is naïve and uncomplicated, but never amateurish.
Typical Saxhorns (pictured at right) included, soprano, alto, tenor, base, and contrabass.
Hail, Columbia was the unofficial national anthem of the United States until its replacement in 1931 by the officially mandated "Star-Spangled Banner". It was originally composed by Philip Phile in 1789 for the inauguration of George Washington, titled "The President's March", arranged with lyrics by Joseph Hopkinson in 1798. It was used by the USA as a national anthem for most of the 19th Century, but lost popularity after World War I. It is now the entrance march, or the official song, for the Vice President in a similar fashion as "Hail to the Chief" is for the President.
Yankee Doodle's origins were in a pre-Revolutionary War song originally by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" with whom they served in the French and Indian War. The word doodle first appeared in the early 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton. After the British defeat at Concord, the Americans adopted the tune for their own.
Farewell, my Lilly Dear, as a tune, has nothing to do with a farewell, but rather is set in the context of a quickstep that flirts with the stomping rhythm of the polka. The piece was composed by Stephen Foster (both music and lyrics) around 1851.
Star Spangled Banner was a national air probably published to round out the repertory of an all-purpose band. What may sound to the listener like irreverent liberties were once considered standard, or at least appropriate, embellishments to our forbears. The tune has undergone many changes since 1814, when Francis Scott Key first set his enduring words to the melody of "The Anacreontic Song." This musical counterpart to the flag of the United States, for whose words or tune there has been no federally-authorized standard version before or since it was made our national anthem in 1931, has and probably will continue to vary in details of style, according to changing taste.
By early January 1870, efforts were under way to revive the Medina Band by way of raising money for the instruments. A set of instruments for 14 musicians was purchased from E.G. Wright & Company of Boston, Massachusetts for about $550, and all but the drums arrived by December. A band association had been organized in November. A constitution was adopted and officers of the association elected. The association owned the instruments, and probably the bandwagon from the previous band. The musicians commenced twice-a-week practices in their room in the Empire Block (directly northwest from the square). The drums having arrived in January, 1871, the MSCB began this reincarnation at a donation party with "half a dozen pieces" at Empire Hall on February 1st.
Next came a "grand ball" at the same place on 22 February for the benefit of the band. Evidently the band members had purchased some furniture for their practice room, paid rent for use of the room, and probably paid the "accomplished" or "competent" teachers who helped them learn their instruments, thus needing assistance in meeting these expenses. It was helpful that the Medina Gazette's publisher was one of the band's directors. The newspaper exhorted its readers to "buy tickets (to the ball) / go yourself / take your wife / or your sister / or some other person's sister." The band played for a half hour before dancing commenced and a half hour at intermission.
Thereafter, the band performed the functions of a 'community band' at irregular intervals and in a variety of venues. Members of this version of the MSCB had only one holdover from the first band, their leader William F. Sipher. Musicians ranged in age from a 13-year-old cymbal player to a 60 year old baritone player, with most in their teens or 20s as in the first band. Unlike the first band, this group was mostly 'hard working mechanics' which typified town bands.
William Sipher (pictured at left) was the band's director in 1870. Having emigrated from Germany, he was trained a shoe repairman; however, in attempting to make a living in Medina, then engaged in the manufacturing of bricks, producing half-a-million bricks a year. In the fall of 1863, he joined a company of National Guards who were called into active service in May. 1864. They formed Company E. 166th O. V. I. and served until September following. Sipher was chief musician in the regiment. In 1871, he was elected Corporation Treasurer for Medina. Sipher played bass in the Medina Silver Cornet Band prior to becoming conductor. It is also noted that he played 1st cornet in the band during the 1870s.
The second portion of our first concert is devoted to music that was published and probably performed by bands throughout the United States. While it is difficult to determine if any of this music was actually performed by one of the Medina Bands during the period 1859 through 1875, the chances are good.
Fan-Tan (Chinese march – characteristic) by Bert B.
Anthony and arranged by M. L. Brazil.
This particular composition is from the Chester Nettrower Collection
donated to William Park for use in the North Royalton Community Band Digital
Music Library. Published in 1800, the
march is within public domain the two-step's title probably refers to a once
favorite pastime of the Chinese in America. Fan-tan, having been replaced by modern
casino games, and other traditional Chinese games such as Mah Jong and Pai Gow,
was described by Jacob Riis in his famous book about Chinatown fan-tan parlor:
"at the first foot-fall of leather soles on the steps the hum and talk cases,
and the group of celestials, crouching over their game of fan-tan, stop playing
and watch the comer with ugly eyes.
Fan-tan is their ruling passion.
Light Cavalry by Franz von Suppé (pictured at left) was the father of the Austrian operetta which was to reach its summit with Johann Strauss II. Like so many of his German compatriots, Suppé was a profound admirer of Offenbach. His aim was to carry the techniques of opera-bouffe in Germany and Austria to the new form he had developed. Actually, what he did was to create his own genre: the operetta, which placed more stress on humor and less on satire; more on tenderness and sentimentality and less on burlesque; and in which the waltz became the favorite dance form. The Light Cavalry Overture, written in 1866, is martial music at its best. Beginning with those wonderful fanfare calls in the brass, we are treated to one of the best examples of Saturday morning cartoon cavalry gallops imaginable. The delicate transitional section is actually a broad Hungarian-like song guiding us back to the vigorous military melody and opening brass calls and pushing us toward the "blood and guts" finale.
Wood Up Quickstep was an instrumental piece written in 1835 composed by John Holloway The piece became closely associated with Edward "Ned" Kendall who was a virtuoso on the keyed bugle in the days before valved cornets. Despite the invention of valves, Kendall continued to play the keyed bugle all his life. In 1856, he took part in a famous contest with himself on the keyed bugle playing against Patrick Gilmore on the valved cornet. The contest, which consisted of the two soloists playing sections of Wood Up Quickstep after each other, ended in a tie of virtuosity for both men. However, it sounded the death knell for the keyed bugle and signaled the rise of the valved cornet.
Carnival of Venice by Charles "Del" Staigers (pictured at right). Staigers was born on August 20th, 1899 in Muncie (Indiana). He father was in the state of Delaware at the time of this birth and so he chose Delaware for his son's middle name. The kid didn't like the name much, but he was OK with "Del" and so the name stuck. When Del was just six years old, he experienced his first great thrill, that of the Muncie Boys Band parading in their blue and red uniforms up Main Street. It was an experienced that convinced him that he wanted to be a bandsman. With his mother's permission, he soon applied to Professor E.W.Garrett of the Muncie, Indiana Conservatory of Music. Professor Garrett rented the young lad a horn for 10 cents a week, and Del proceeded to drive his mother crazy with his constant practicing, to the point where she insisted that he do his practicing outdoors in a nearby empty lot. Undeterred, Del continued to work hard and two years later he occupied the first chair in the Muncie Boys' Band. During his long career, Staigers played with Patrick Conway's band; John Philip Sousa's Band; the Ziegfeld Follies; and, the Edwin Franko Goldman Band. He was chosen to play "taps" over Sousa's grave at Sousa's funeral. No small feat when you consider the talent available for the task at hand.
Washington Grays by Claudio Grafulla (pictured at left), was written in 1861 for the 8th Regiment, New York State Militia and has been called a march masterpiece, a band classic, and the prototype of the concert march. Showing the stylistic influence of both German and Italian marches, the march has a marvelous balance of technique and melody in a continuous flow of musical ideas. It dared to break the old formulas; however, because it has no introduction, no break strain, and no stinger.
Grafulla was born in 1810 on Minorca, a Spanish island off the coast of Spain. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 28 to become a member of the Lothiers Brass Band in New York City, which was attached to the 7th Regiment of the New York National Guard. His major contribution to the literature was composing and arranging the "Port Royal Band Books" for the 3rd New Hampshire Regiment Band when it was formed for service during the Civil War. He was one of the first band directors to add woodwinds to his band in 1860.
Pasquinade was not published until the year after Louis Moreau Gottschalk's death (picture at right). However he performed it all across our nation and in Europe and it was extremely popular. The earliest record of Gottschalk's performing this jaunty and sparkling gavotte is from 1863. However, it is almost certain that there were earlier performances. According to Gottschalk's biographer, S. Frederick Starr, Pasquinade "has often been credited with being a forward-looking anticipation of ragtime and jazz." Around 1899, author W. O. Eschwege wrote an article in which he credited Gottschalk with initiating the ragtime genre. The following is from that article:
"Rag time" sympathized singularly with [Gottschalk's] idiosyncrasies as a composer, as is indicated clearly in every bar of his Pasquinade, a composition deemed by leading pianists of the present day worthy to be included in programs of a high order. The measures [are] fairly dense with wild, constant changes of rhythm which constitute the foundation of what we are pleased to call "rag time", probably a contraction of "ragged time."

Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag was published in 1899 and is often credited with starting the ragtime craze. However, it is clear now to music historians, as it was to some scholars then, that Gottschalk, and particularly his Pasquinade which preceded Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag by at least thirty-six years, should be given much more credit.
Tippecanoe Quickstep was composed by Henry Schmidt and dedicated to Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison.
Die Fledermaus: Chacun a son Gout is sung in the second act of Strauss' operetta "Die Fledermaus." The Russian Prince Orlofsky is giving a magnificent ball, but he appears to be the only one not enjoying himself -- everything and everyone bores him. He tells the crowd that at his parties there is only one rule -- that each does according to his own taste -- "Chacun à son goût." Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is Johann Strauss II's (pictured at left) opera of 1874.

The ANC6E template allows the counter-parties to these agreements to feature live music on a limited number of occasions. They may have live music at all weekend brunches and New Year's Eve. In addition, they are allowed twelve private parties with live music every year. After that, they are allowed six further instances of private parties every year which must be applied for as a "one-day substantial change" to the liquor license at DC's liquor-licensing authorities.
DC liquor-licensing rules limit the number of one-day substantial changes for an establishment to six per year. They involve additional paperwork, often notarized, to file with DC liquor-licensing authorities, as well as an additional fee of up to $300 per instance, all of which is probably a sufficient deterrent to filing for one unless absolutely needed.
The advantages seem to be: the restaurants have the flexibility to feature music late weekend mornings (when late-night noise and rowdy behavior is not an issue) and host a limited number of wedding-related events, office parties, etc., without having to petition the ANC for each event. On the other hand, the ANC gets a guarantee that late-night music and dancing will not be a regular occurrence.
Most recently, ANC6E used this template to come to a settlement agreement with, and endorse the liquor license of, Ottoman Taverna (425 I Street NW, at the corner of 4th and I Streets). The endorsement came at ANC6E's last regularly-scheduled meeting on March 3. Attorney Steve O'Brien of Mallios & O'Brien represented the applicant and said that the existing template made it much easier to negotiate the new agreement.
"It took me three minutes to prepare this version," O'Brien said.
O'Brien also told the ANC the new establishment would have inside seating for 166 and planned a sidewalk cafe with a capacity of 74. Service would continue until 2am weekdays and 3am weekends inside, and 11pm weekdays and midnight weekends outside. There would be no recorded music outdoors.
ANC6E's liquor-licensing affairs committee had review and recommended approval of the settlement agreement and endorsement of the liquor-licensing application, and the full ANC voted unanimously in favor, with one abstention.
Ottoman Taverna will be the third establishment in the same block by restauranteur Hakan Ilhan, joining Alba Osteria (also 425 I Street NW) and L'Hommage (450 K Street). L'Hommage received its liquor license endorsement and signed a settlement agreement with ANC6E last month based on the same template -- see SALM blog post of February 12.

Pheu Thai MP Sunai Julphongsathorn's words caused a barrage of complaints on Thai web forums after a clip of his comments surfaced on YouTube recently.
The 12-minute video was apparently shot on August 19 at a seminar at a school in Samut Prakan.
Sunai tells the audience of around 1,000 red shirts to find a farang husband for an easy life "because European governments give you everything for free."
Sunai went on: "Get a German husband. Get a Swedish husband. Get a Norwegian husband. People used to love [Thailand] unreservedly. But the more they loved the country, the poorer they got. The more they loved the country, the stupider they got."
"All you need is a farang husband and their government will pay you to study," he said.
Even more controversially, he then implied that the best way to study a foreign language was by sleeping with a foreigner.
"Sitting studying is too slow. Lie down to study, then go to the hospital. They will pay you to have the baby… It's all free, right up to the diapers."
Many web users were furious at Sunai's comments. They said they were highly inappropriate coming from an MP, particularly one in the Pheu Thai Party whose prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, had become the first woman to administer the country.
Sunai later told reporters that he had never meant to insult Thai women. He just wanted to show Thais how far behind their welfare state was when compared with European countries.
He said he had been saying such things for some time and it was because he wanted Thailand to have a welfare system that was the equal of those in other countries, where education and maternity services are free.

Authorities are being tight-lipped about the suspicious fires at the Lancaster County Courthouse and 6th Circuit Doug Barfield's office last week.
Lancaster Police Chief Hugh White isn't saying anything about the probe.
Lancaster Police Capt. Harlean Howard, the contact person for the media, said Friday that she could not comment on any progress in the investigation, or say anything about the number of tips authorities have received from the public.
VAN WYCK - To the world, Shawn Crawford is an Olympic medalist and the "Cheetah Man."
To the 800 residents of Van Wyck, Crawford is its most famous native son.
When this son gets home, Van Wyck is going to have some good times.
Van Wyck resident Betty Broome issued this statement for the community on July 14:
Shawn's mother, Sylvia, and (family friend) Marilyn Tims, will soon be on their way to Beijing to watch Shawn compete as they did in Athens, Greece, in 2004.
Lancaster County Sheriff's Office narcotics and gang agents and agents from the federal Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), Lancaster County and Lancaster city police STAR team members and Lancaster County EMS served four search warrants Thursday.
Sheriff's office narcotics agents and the gang investigator conducted three controlled buys of powder cocaine and one controlled buy of a fake Social Security card, sheriff's office spokesman Tom Holland said.
County Council is expected to discuss how to proceed in rebuilding the Lancaster County Courthouse at Monday night's council meeting.
"I can assure you, it will be talked about," County Administrator Steve Willis said Friday.
Hunter Builders finished stabilizing the roof of the 180-year-old building Friday.
The courthouse was set on fire early Monday, with the fire burning through the roof and badly damaging the courtroom on the second floor.
Officials will meet with insurance agents to talk about getting new trusses for the roof, Willis said.
Peep through the windows from Leigh Anne's Restaurant and you can see much of what's left of the nearby Lancaster County Courthouse. Blackened roof beams and scattered rubble tell the story.
Some customers of the popular Catawba Street diner were eating breakfast there Monday morning as firefighters battled for hours to extinguish the courthouse fire.
Since then, restaurant owner Mark Culler said the courthouse fire has been the hot topic of discussion among his patrons. And now, there's more to talk about after the 6th Circuit Solicitor's office burned early Thursday.
house later this month.
Lancaster County Parks and Recreation will hold an open house at the center from 3 to 5 p.m. Aug. 17. The center is located at 4073 Hurley Walters Road.
MAR Construction is the contractor for the project. County Council awarded the firm the bid last September.
The cost of the center is about $1.4 million. It's built on a 25-acre site, which includes ballfields.
The gym of the new center is the same size as the Springdale Recreation Center.

Authorities released few details about their investigation into a fire at 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield's office on Thursday, but urged the public to report suspicious activity or even suspicious comments about the blaze.
Lancaster's court system was under fire again early Thursday morning, as what authorities are already calling a suspicious fire burned 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield's office.
Officials from a Sumter contractor got a look from the air at the fire damage to the Lancaster County Courthouse on Thursday.
A boom lifted Hunter Builders officials above the burned roof of the courthouse, which was badly damaged on its second floor by arson early Monday. Hunter Builders specializes in restoring historic buildings.
The company was contacted by Jody Munnerlyn of Boykin-Munnerlyn architectural firm, which was overseeing a renovation project at the historic courthouse, before the fire.
Help from public sought in finding who started two fires
Authorities released few details about their investigation into a fire at 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield's office on Thursday, but urged the public to report suspicious activity or even suspicious comments about the blaze.
"Experience with similar cases has shown it is unlikely the offender will confide his crimes with anyone but will follow the investigation in the media and in conversations with family and friends," Lancaster Police Department Capt. Harlean Howard read from a press release about noon Thursday.

It's funny that right now Linus Torvalds himself seems to be aware of this problem and that the Linux kernel developers are discussing ways to solve it. Let's hope they find a way to get around it on the OS level. To me, the design of MS Windows looks better in the aspect of process-creation, handle inheritance and multi-threading... Anyway, it has its drawbacks, too. For example, I still cannot specify in a thread-safe way that a handle should be inherited to one child process but not to another - I would have to use a lock to synchronize it, which has its own problems, as Ross Cohen noted. The best solution at the OS level would be to explitly specify the handles/fds I want to be inherited in a "create child process" system call. BTW the Linux kernel developers face the same situation as we do: They could somehow implement a new system function like "open_noinherit", but there's a whole bunch of existing "standard code" that uses open and similar functions like socket(), accept() etc., and they don't want to change all these calls. So perhaps, for Python development, we just have to accept that the problem persists and that at this time a 100% solution just does not exist - and we should watch the discussion on http://lwn.net/Articles/237722/ to see how they solve it for Linux. """ That being said, I still think it's necessary for Python to provide a solution as good as possible. For example, in my production application, by consequently using the ftools module above, I could reduce the error rate dramatically: * With built-in open and shutil.copyfile: Several "Permission denied" and other errors a day * With ftools.open and ftools.copyfile: program running for a week or more without errors. There are still errors sometimes, and I suspect it has to do with the unintenional inheritance of socket handles (I did not dig into SocketServer.py, socket.py and socket.c to solve it). (However, the errors are so rare now that our clients think it's just errors in their network :-). Martin, you mentioned that for sockets, inheritance is not a problem unless accept(), recv() or select() is called in the child process (as far as I understood it). Though I am not an expert in socket programming at the C level, I doubt that you are right here. Apart from by own experiences, I've found some evidence in the WWW (searching for "child process socket inherit respond", and for "socket error 10054 process"). * http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-November/236043.html "socket's strange behavior with subprocesses" Funny: Even notepad.exe is used there as an example child process... * http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2006-April/032974.html python-Bugs-1469163 SimpleXMLRPCServer doesn't work anymore on Windows (see also Bug 1222790). * http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4202949 Java has switched to non-inheritable sockets as well. * http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5069989 "(process) Runtime.exec unnecessarily inherits open files (win)" * http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4197666" "Socket descriptors leak into processes spawned by Java programs on windows" ... Any Windows Guru around who can explain what's going on with socket handles and CreateProcess? I mean - is the explanation Martin gave for accept(), recv(), select() correct for Windows, too? And if so - how can the errors be explained that are mentioned in the URLs above? Martin v. Löwis wrote: > In Python 3, it would be possible to implement the "n" flag > for open(), as we call CreateFile directly.

Why is not sufficient to *modify* > an open file to have its handle non-inheritable in > an easy and platform-independent way? Because it wouldn't be thread-safe, unless a lock is used for synchronizing subprocess and open calls, which would cause other issues. Are you still reading? Here's a pragmatic proposal: - Add the functions in ftools.py (in a more complete version) to the standard library. Perhaps even add them to the subprocess.py module? - Add a note about handle inheritance to the documentation for the subprocess module, saying that for the parent process, one should avoid using open and prefer ftools.open instead. - Add a global switch to the socket module to choose between new and old behaviour: - New behaviour: In the C level socket implementation, use os.O_NOINHERIT resp. fcntl FD_CLOEXEC Remember: In case you write a forking socket server in Python, you have to use the old behaviour (so, in the ForkingServerMixin, expliticly choose the old behaviour). - Change the logging file handler classes to use ftools.open, so that at least the logging module does not produce errors in a multi-threaded program with child processes. - For Python 3000, search the standard library for unintentional inheritance. What do you think? Henning Footnote: I bet that about 50% of all unexplainable, seemingly random, hard-to-reproduce errors in any given program (written in any programming language) that uses child processes are caused by unintentional handle inheritance.

Simply Calendars is a terrific program. Kudoes always. But everything can usually be improved. I have two suggestions: 1) Add a datebook format, and 2) list the optimum aspect ration for images for each calendar. The datebook (usually available for about $1 in stores) is 3.5"x6" folded with each page opened 7"x6". On each page is one month with large "squares" for writing appointments (of course pre-printed events would enhance). Also each page would have small previous/next months. Optional space for images might be nice. The image aspect ratio would make it easier to crop the images.

I've just upgraded my Simply Calendars software from 4.6.900 to the 5.1.1330 .... many thanks. I've noticed that when you move a picture you still have to be careful that the aspect ratio doesn't change.. ie you end up with a stretched person, or short fat one... I always drag from the corner of the photo... but unless that aspect ratio is locked there is a chance of not getting it quite right. Is it possible to have a 'keep aspect ratio' option when you insert photos... ? Long narrow calendars are popular.. I notice there is this option under the specials 'Birthdays' but it has no dates... could we add that as an extra calendar design with dates. Thanks Teresa

After adding events, then if you simply advance the year, the events will be retained in the following year - it's as simple as that.
As this is a calendar publisher, events are added for the year of the calendar - not for a specific year (eg 2008)

Does it contain a template for a perpetual daily calendar (4" x 6" or smaller) to sit on it's own card board stand on a desk? I am referring to one that is spiral bound on the top and is meant to contain 185 pages or so such that at the end of June one would flip it over and go through the next six months on the opposing pages? I am looking to print some for a church fund raising project and would really appreciate a template to work with. If not, does anyone know of a template like that? It seems really hard to format from scratch and print a bunch.

Here in Australia, the "Queen's Birthday" is a public holiday (we're not a republic yet ...) but is held on different days in different states. Easy to add this as a custom event on the different day, and to suppress the national day text with "--". But the highlight for the national holiday remains.

Love the product. Congratulations. What options are available for including a short piece of text under each backcover thumbnail? I don't use the caption text on the main photo, as I use full page photos in duplex calendars, and I think the captions are ugly intrusions. Anyhow it does not appear that the caption is printed on the thumbnail. However, some explanatory text about each photo might be nice, and the Backcover would be a good place.
If this is not currently an option - could it be added? Might be an option for at the point of adding the current caption, or perhaps thumbnails could be printed with the filename (less extension) which could then contain the caption.

In the future it would be cool if the templates could be specified in a kind of xml language, so it was possible to create user defined templates that could be shared.

Love the product, would like to see the capability to print pictures in the unused cell's (such as those before the 1st of the month and after the last day of the month).
Would also like to see an option to print the julian date (001 for Jan 1 ... 032 for Feb 1st ... 365 for Dec 31st)
Keep up the good work
Lewisville, USA - 08 November 2006 at 01:43:27
I think you've done an excellent job in making simply calendar the easiest program of it's kind. The only two things I can think of that would greatly improve it is:
1. A better front page option/ edit capability with better design options.
2. A better way if inserting small graphics into a day spot on the monthly calendars. As it is now, it is hard to select a picture for resizing when it goes behind the grid. Perspective is also a problem if photo is not proportionally correct. Again thanks for a fantastic program.

programme that I'm having a lot of fun with! Any chance of an additional template for CD calendars? Like the slim calendars (2 to a page) but square instead. I've tried exporting and resizing, but the CD calendars are square and so it doesn't quite work.

Aylesbury, UK - 17 September 2006 at 13:55:22
See new "Single Wide Column" in v4.7. Try experimenting with margins and paper sizes.
"Large Print"calendar also works well for CD jewel box calendars
I love Simply Calenders! There is one change that I would like to see and that is having standard printer control. The ability to change media type and color settings without having to change the default settings for the printer would save me an enormous amount of time (as well as misprints when I forget to make the necessary changes!)

Essex, ON, Canada - 12 August 2006 at 17:08:57
Agree, but this is technically difficult without writing program from scratch using a different programming language
Excellent product, I've used similar products for a few years now and find Simply Calenders very functional. Although I want you to implement following functionality in upcoming releases:
- Possibility to add small numeric monthly views/calendars (last and next)on the full page month calendar planner.
- Possibility to change "style" for grids, for example to rounded corners.
- Quick styles for the differens calendars for different layouts & colors within for example the monthly calendar planner (modern, classic, sunset, sport etc)
Good luck with the future releases.

To be able to add text to the 'back' page of thumbnail photos would be really great. It would add that professional finish to a great gift calendar(eg photo locations, special message, production date etc). I am thinking along the lines of being able to duplicate what can be done with 'additional text' on the Front Page.
Many thanks for the great Christmas Present you and I are giving friends this year!! :-)

All fonts can currently be resized
to be able to add custom fonts,maybe I missed this but did
not think it was possible.
On adding pictures (in days) it seems to cover up text it would be nice if one could set picture either behind or text in front, not sure it's possible with this(layers)
also one more option for text for colors and fonts.
if one selects to add holidays etc it seems to be the same text color as the text one adds.
on the added holiday text it seems "fixed" so maybe if you can not add layers you could add the ability of being able to move the text up or down.
Thank YOu and I won't bother you any more.
Tacoma, USA - 27 September 2005 at 10:03:53
Skerryvore Software:
1) You can use ANY installed font for that "character set" eg Western
2) "Layer" technology not currently used - so would be significant piece of work to implement this
3) noted
4) Date related text - unlikely to implement moveable text for date anchored text ( but you can add blank rows)
1)Resizable templates for making small desktop calenders.
(I think I seen some that you can but most you can't it seems.)
2)To have week numbers before (outside) Days.I did see this in FAQ but it would be nicer if the program allow one to do this.
3)Export in other formats bmp,and or jpeg, or export certain pages instead of all pages.
Able to add/customize borders.
4)Change colors Outside of monthly (month)it seems one can not change any of this except using colored paper.
5)Having just a simple "print" option.
Thank You,seems like one of the best program I could find if one could format more colors and add more desktop (mini) calanders or be able to resize all calanders this would be a big bonus in my book, also it would be nice if one could right click on calander to change fonts,colors,text would make things move a lot faster.I know this is dealing with templets and many objects so maybe I'm requesting to much but just thought I'd give it a mention.
Thank You again for your time and program .

1. More print controls: From-to pages, etc. What if I want to reprint only one page to correct a mistake?
2. Why did you hide the printing options dialog? Why I have to restart the program if I want to change paper-quality setting?
It would be nice if you would first launch standard print options dialog (provided by printer driver) and pick up all settings from it. In this case such things like borderless printing would be available.

Saving as Web Calendar HTML always requires a new dir. Like to be able to choose (browse?) and/or overwrite previous one.
Apply this image to all works from front cover to others but not others to front cover. I think I see why.
Room for individual sponsors ads (eg banner ads) at bottom of each page.
To get rid of horizontal and vertical lines (the grid) on the month days, I choose Layout/Line Style Colour (white). Now, if there is a "proper" way, I keep missing it. My concern is if I send it as a PDF, and they print on coloured paper. Will the grid appear?

This lap or baby blanket is inspired by traditional Shetland haps with the added twist of a striped centre and twisted stitch cables in the border, giving it a somewhat nautical feel. The pattern includes full written instructions for both the centre and the border. The border is also fully charted.
Any aran-weight yarn with a high content of wool or alpaca may be substituted for the Troon Tweed used in the sample. You will need 850 – 914 metres (930 – 1000 yards).
Recommended needle size is 6mm/US 10. As the border is knitted in the round this should be a long circular needle.
The pattern is also available in the 'Novel Knits' collection (see 'Books').

Widowmaker were a British hard rock group,[1] active from 1975 to 1977. They were considered by many to be a supergroup and released two albums. Although their influences appeared to offer vast creative possibilities, musical and personality differences led to their break-up.[2] The legacy of Widowmaker is captured on the compilation Straight Faced Fighters (2002) released by Castle, which includes tracks from both of their albums.[3]
The band was formed by former Mott the Hoople and Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenor, also known as Ariel Bender. The original line-up featured vocalist Steve Ellis from Love Affair, guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton from Hawkwind, Australian bassist Bob Daisley of Chicken Shack and drummer Paul Nicholls who had played with Lindisfarne.
A few months after they had begun rehearsing at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Manticore Studios in London the quintet were signed to Jet Records owned by Don Arden. A single release "On the Road" followed, in February 1976 and their debut album Widowmaker was released in the same year. The line-up for the "Widowmaker" album was augmented in the studio by vocalist and guitarist Bobby Tench from Streetwalkers and Hammond player Zoot Money. Widowmaker reached #196 in US and featured an eclectic mix of blues, country, folk and hard rock.[4]
Widowmaker toured the UK with Nazareth and in June 1976 they took part in a series of nationwide stadium all-day concerts under the name of The Who Put The Boot In alongside leading rock acts such as, Little Feat, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Streetwalkers and The Who, who were the headline act.[5]
Ellis left the band after a tour of North America with Electric Light Orchestra and was replaced by vocalist John Butler and the band recorded their second album Too Late to Cry. Daisley joined Rainbow and Widowmaker broke up after the release of Too Late to Cry (February 1977).

Color can be used to enhance drawings, but unless it is used with some discretion, the results can be totally confusing. One reason for this is that sharp boundaries are necessary for distinguishing objects, resulting in an amorphous appearance when viewing slowly graduated color schemes. Camouflaging makes good use of this circumstance. Some surface texture, such as inscribed contour lines, will greatly augment any use of color which may be present.
Nevertheless, scanning a region with the intention of placing colored pixels throught its interior can be performed easily, even when deducing contour lines would be quite a bit more complicated. One way to get a representation of complex numbers through a color code would be to use the color wheel which is thoroughly familiar in the television industry for the phase angle of the number. The grey scale would be entrusted to the modulus, running from white at zero to black at infinity, say.
Figure 13 shows an attempt at combining the two approaches, to put black pixels at integer moduli while color coding the rest of the plane. It is not entirely successful, mainly due to the interaction of pixel size with the criterion for integervaluedness.
It is probably much more understandable if the rainbow sequence is used to color code the modulus, ignoring the phase, or perhaps assigning it a slight grey scale. Of course, almost any system will highlight zeroes and poles, either because of color extremes or because they are enveloped by multiples of radians with the attending color display. The problem lies in conveying a realistic appreciation for all the intervening values.
Because several coloring schemes are plausible, the operator for coloring little squares, qk, has been given a parameter, whose ASCII character values are assigned as follows:
- l
- - shading by logarithm of modulus, color by wheel
- v
- - color by hyperbolic tangent of modulus, shading by angle
- a
- - angle by color wheel, modulus by shading
- r
- - red
- g
- - green
- b
- - blue
- c
- - cyan
- m
- - magenta
- y
- - yellow
- k
- - black
- o
- - orange
- v
- - violet
Whatever the case, there is room to insert other alternatives in the list of parameter symbols, or to change the ones shown.
Figure 14 shows two common functions of a complex variable, the hyperbolic cosine and the hyperbolic tangent. Of coures, they become the ordinary cosine and tangent after rotation by and show the periodicity of these functions along the imaginary axis.

Good Morning!
I can't get over how fast this summer seems to be going. I really hope the rest slows down a bit...or it'll be gone before we know it. We've been lucky with some great weather so far, so I haven't been inside much to get many cards made. It's supposed to be a rainy one today though, so maybe I'll have a chance to make a card or two!
A good friend just recently celebrated her Sweet 16th Birthday. This is the card I made for her.
It's funny how some cards can come together for you.... With this one, I had this adorable Wryn printed out and sitting on my desk. This paper was also sitting out! It seemed to go together perfectly!
This sketch is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #160. I used an oval panel instead of the rectangle.
Wryn was coloured with my copics, and then cut out using my nestabilities. The '16' is from Numbered Days, by There She Goes. It was stamped, coloured then cut out and popped up on the panel.
Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy!

Motivational experts know that for anything to change, you must take action. Just knowing something, or just believing in it, doesn't make anything happen. If you really want to go vegan, you actually have to take action and make it happen.
One of the best ways to motivate yourself is find something that has extreme leverage over your current habits. What does this mean? Well, here's my personal example: Before I went vegan, I was an absolute cheese addict. I always say in my lectures that the day before I went vegan, my four food groups were Swiss, Havarti, Cheddar and Chocolate! If you had told me that I would be going vegan, I never, ever, would have believed I could do it. However, after reading Diet for a New America, in just 24 hours things changed overnight. What I learned in that book about how food affects our health, how the animals are treated in the factory farms, and how food production methods are affecting the environment, literally shocked me into giving up meat and dairy products instantaneously. The knowledge was so compelling that it had leverage (or priority) over my current habits.
This is not uncommon when people tell you how they went vegan. It is very much like when my neighbor, who smoked for 54 years, was told he had a mass on his lungs. Until that day, he always laughed and said he didn't mind dying of lung cancer because he was 72 and was going to die soon anyway. When that mass showed itself on his lungs, boy, did he change his mind quickly! Just like I quit eating all animal products overnight, he also quit smoking overnight. This is the power of leverage.
So if you notice that I often encourage people to read books like Diet for a New America, The Food Revolution, The China Study, and watch videos like Earthlings, this is why: these resources have been known to provide people with so much leverage over their current habits that they don't need motivation or willpower anymore! If you're still struggling to commit fully to the vegan diet, go pick up one (or all!) of the resources I just mentioned. My book, Vegan in 30 Days, also helps to break the diet down into manageable chunks. Good luck!

Ellen Winner
ELLEN WINNER is a psychologist at Boston College. Her research focuses on two areas of research on cognition in the arts. (1) The study of the creative process in the visual arts, including what broad thinking dispositions are acquired by studying the arts, how students make sense of the arts, the role of arts in their lives and how students learn by reflecting on their portfolios; (2) The study of the effects of music training on children's brain growth (through brain imaging) and on their cognition (musical, spatial, and verbal) and motoric development. This research is based on a view of the arts as cognitive as well as affective, and on the assumption that the arts are a central aspect of human behavior which must be incoporated into our understading of human development and education.
She is the author of Gifted Children: Myths and Reality; The Point of Words: Children's Understanding of Metaphor and Irony; Invented Worlds.

So I'm trying to get back to it.
In the meantime my Silhouette Cameo finally came in the mail :)
I ordered it from Oh My Crafts a few weeks ago.
You'd think that would get me going, wouldn't you?
Last night I played with it and cut out a few of the Samantha Walker Designs files that I have...
So that's what's what.
See you soon, hopefully over the weekend I can kick this...wish me luck.

JobTrain's partnership with fellow nonprofit Bread of Life East Palo Alto (BOLEPA) has been the saving grace since May 2011. Every Thursday afternoon, BOLEPA distributes fresh, nutritious and FREE groceries at JobTrain.
According to Harriett Wycoff, Executive Director at BOLEPA, "This is what OUR community is all about - taking care of and feeding our residents."
For Antonio Guevara, the weekly food distribution event is really about community. Amongst the crowd, his smiling face and grateful ebullience never go unnoticed. Every week Antonio expresses his enthusiasm for the wide array of produce and food available. Whether it's organic artichokes, fresh corn on the cob or grass-fed beef donated from Trader Joe's; Antonio is eager to convey his appreciation and share his recipes for the bountiful provisions.
In addition to learning about his recipe for artichokes, I discovered Antonio is actually a local hero. Each week he carefully packages groceries for his neighbors in need and delivers them to San Francisco.
Always returning after everyone has had the opportunity to fill their bags, Antonio collects the surplus. He's concerned about his elderly neighbors. Some are infirm, others are unemployed or simply on a fixed income. Antonio does what he can to make a positive impact in their lives.
People from all walks of life are affected by hunger these days. Students, working families, single parents, senior citizens – they're all in need – and all receive support every Thursday afternoon at JobTrain.
