Three ministers with military ties, noting the upcoming Nov. 11 holiday, are encouraging congregations to 'Rethink Veterans Day,' and find ways as a faith community to care for our service members on Veterans Day and every day.
"From my first days as a chaplain with military service members and their families, I recognized that faith communities had an integral role to play in the post-deployment re-entry and re-integration," said the Rev. Zachary Moon, an assistant professor of Practical Theology at Chicago Theological Seminary. "Processing the complex experiences of military service and the impact on families takes time — and our faith communities are uniquely capable of making this journey of transition into the next chapters of life."
That is why Moon partnered with the Rev. Stephen B. Boyd, UCC Minister for Chaplains and Ministers in Specialized Settings to offer a workshop for congregations which want be more effective in welcoming veterans into their communities; to guide a process of healing and wholeness, rather than simply thanking a veteran for their service. Information on the workshops on Nov. 8, in Burlington, Wisc., and Nov. 10 at Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) can be found here. The CTS workshop can also be accessed via livestream.
"We hope to equip congregations with resources and a way of thinking, doing Veterans Day and Memorial Day differently," said Boyd. "We, as veterans, have so often been a part of those worship services where they ask the veterans to stand, maybe sing a patriotic hymn and then go on to the business of Sunday worship. We are working to create a whole worship service that celebrates veterans and attempts to show how issues can be spoken to directly, addressing the real men and women who have served."
"Congregations can support their 'sons and daughters' with prayer, letters, in addition to offering a special liturgy on days like Veteran's Day, Memorial Day," said the Rev. John Schluep, a UCC minister, former Army Captain, and founder of Warriors' Journey Home, an organization dedicated to helping veterans and their families adjust to life for the returning service member.
A retired pastor of First Congregational Church of Tallmadge, Ohio, Schluep said it is important to focus on "a supportive embrace of the service person," not nationalism or patriotism. "We disagree with the conflict, but support those who have served in it, in a good way."
Military service can mean a lot of different things to each individual, Schluep noted, so the ability to listen, without judgement, is also critical.
"Provide a time for veterans to tell their story and listen without judgment, comment, criticism, or endorsement," Schluep said. "The Warriors' Journey Home mantra is 'Listen — Speak — Heal.' Listen with an open heart. The church needs to find a way to deal with the moral injury of war with our members. A lot of people have done things that aren't very nice. There has to be opportunities for forgiveness, for reconciliation."
"Many churches sincerely wish to do more effective ministry with veterans and military families, but very few have invested in the relational work to make that happen," Moon said. "The most effective congregational works are service oriented projects. Folks in the military care about service and so do most churches I know. If we can see veterans for the leadership and other strengths, rather than as charity-cases, and build on the shared value of service, we can get the whole congregation including veterans serving the community. The journey into the next chapters of life after military service is much better if veterans experience being a part of a team, doing something worth doing, and building trust with others along the way."
"It takes pastoral leadership," Schluep said. "I work with a lot of vets and they feel a disconnect from the churches they grew up in. I think churches need to recognize both the veterans in their midst, and the people of strong heart, the families of the vet, because they deal with those burdens as well."
"One of the main challenges is the veterans feeling safe in going into churches," Boyd said. "This is also the challenge of churches attempting to create a safe place for veterans to be welcomed. I know that more churches would like to support veterans and have programs available, but for most it is a question of where to start.
"Zachary has written a book, Coming Home, Ministry That Matters With Veterans And Military Families, which is a great Bible study for congregations thinking about intentionally doing program around this issue," Boyd continued. "I will be leading a study of the book in my local church after the first of the year. It is a great resource, a very good starting point."
"Being in the military is a spiritual experience," Schluep said. "A kinship community is formed in the military which, in my opinion, is what the church needs to be. Veterans have suffered together. In the military you are taught to take care of the person on your right and the person on your left. The people in the churches who really want to make a difference should aim to replicate that behavior. I think some churches are doing this, but I'd like to see it in greater degrees."
Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. In 1954, after lobbying efforts by veterans' service organizations, the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the 1938 act that had made Armistice Day a holiday, striking the word "Armistice" in favor of "Veterans."

On Monday, April 18th, I launched my first cookbook, 'My Gluten-free Kitchen' at the gorgeous Residence Club in Dublin.
There was great attendance of the 'who's-who' in the culinary world, with over 100 people squeezed into the Behan Lodge and Terrace Gardens where guests enjoyed wines sponsored by Wines Direct and JN Nicholson's.
With thanks to food sponsors Bunzl McLaughlin's, Graham Neville and his team created an array of canapés from Macaroons to Tempura of Prawns, with a little help from 'My Gluten Free Kitchen' this was the only event many Coeliac diners didn't have to check whether nibbles were gluten-free!
I really enjoyed the buzzy atmosphere of the packed room of foodies, chefs, press, friends and family – mingling, standing in for the odd photo and of course at the 'clink' of a glass, I delivered my speech officially and launched the cookbook. What a proud moment.
RTÉ's Ella McSweeney also spoke at the opening and recounted the time at The Olde Post Inn after a dreary day of filming for 'Ear to the Ground' when we treated them to a memorable light-lunch.
I would sincerely like to thank everyone who came out to celebrate with myself and Tara. We've been overwhelmed by the reaction and support that the book has received so far. This book was a closely held dream over the past couple years having been diagnosed as Coeliac and realising that I actually didn't have to miss the meals I love.
This is the ethos of the book, accessible and delicious dishes that take down that barrier of 'where do I start' when you get that diagnosis. I hope it gives those with the condition and those who are following the gluten free lifestyle a new found love of cooking. I wanted this to be a cookbook for everybody and this is what the end result has been.
Celebrations went late into the evening and now we are gearing up for the Cavan launch. Please do join me at the local book launch in Cavan at Crannog Bookshop at 7pm on Friday 22nd

Selling home after 25 years and then having to find a new one was tremendously stressful. Katie was great support in leading me through the process of bidding, losing and then finally winning the right one. I am so thankful for her patience, advice, guidance and just for her being an all around great person. She was the calm in the storm, always staying true to our plan. I would highly recommend Katie Shaw for all your residential real estate needs.Jane Davis
I just wanted to send you a thank you again for everything that you did, it was definitely a shorter process than normal of selling a home, but you made us your priority and handled everything quickly and efficiently.
I loved that when you came in, you immediately pointed out the special wood along the hallway, or noticed the sliding pocket door in the bathroom, that you were thrilled about the condo and saw all the special features that it offered, it was all the little things that you noticed right away that I knew you were the one to care for my mother's home.
So, Daniella, THANK YOU again and please thank your dad & Katie for us as well. I will definitely be recommending you, (which I already have) and keep you in mind whenever we're at the point of selling our home.
Take care, and all the very best to you and your family.

Having successfully delivered numerous apartment developments on the Sunshine Coast, Ritchie Property has expanded its local residential offering to include house and land packages.
Since unveiling two homes for sale at Flame Tree Pocket, both properties have sold in record time.
Ritchie Property carefully selected the Flame Tree Pocket sites due to the development's central location in the heart of Sippy Downs. Both homes have easy access to transport links and key amenities such as shops, parks and schools.
With functionality and aesthetic appeal at the forefront of design, it is no surprise these stylish homes were in strong demand.

Have you ever felt betrayed, left out, abandoned, worthless, or just small and insignificant….?
I know I have many times in my life. These uneasy feelings were the reason for my quest to find the source and hopefully the cure to a life free of these feelings.
Thankfully, a book called "Face to Face with Fear" from Dr. Thomas Trobe, M.D. entered my life when I was 22. Without the help of this book I would not have been able to overcome the darker periods of my life, returning to the happy, peaceful life where I, as we all, prefer to be. Even today the book has enormous value to me as I navigate the ups and downs of life.
The premise of the book is that there are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. On the other hand, when we are in love, we open ourselves to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
Fear affects and often dominates all aspects of our life: how we speak, how we work, how we eat, how we relate, how we create, even how we breathe. Fear which has not been acknowledged contaminates all of our intimate relations. Fear belongs to the ego, our personality. The soul (Being) knows no fear.
At birth, we as humans have no sense of self. We are in a start of "Being", without knowledge or self-consciousness. Slowly, through experiences of pleasure and pain, memories are retained, forming our first self-impressions. As we start identifying with ourselves to be this or that (this or that=self-image) we separate ourselves from this sense of Being. Our image is not Being. As our ego-identity and sense of self develop become stable, the contact with the Being, or Soul, in its various aspects and qualities is mostly lost, but still remains!
Fear is a core issue, perhaps THE core issue that we all deal with through our lives. There is fear of asserting creativity, loss, criticism, judgement, rejection, loneliness, failure, success, intimacy, confrontation, anger or losing control. When this fear is ignored, it gets placed in the back of our minds from where it exerts a powerful and often crippling affect on our lives. Even though we attempt to cover it up with all sorts of compensations and addictions, as long as it remains a hidden force, it can cause chronic anxiety.
We tend to protect ourselves from feeling fear or pain. We do this by focusing the energy elsewhere – into actions, into distractions, into thinking, into drama, into sex, into eating etc..
But if we can make friends with our fear, bringing it out into the open and explore it with intensity and compassion, it can become transformational – opening us to a depth of vulnerability and self-acceptance.
There is a beautiful story that illustrates how we give ourselves over to our caretakers in order to get the love we desire and thus survive in life:
"A man walks into a tailor shop to order a new suit. The tailor takes his measurements and asks him to return in a week. He comes back in a week to get his new suit, but as he tries the suit on in front of the mirror, he notices that one arm is too short, one leg is too short and the waist is much too large. When he points this out to the tailor, the tailor, looking at him in front of the mirror, says: "no, there is nothing wrong with the suit, it's just that you aren't wearing it right. Look, first you have to stretch your arm like this. Then your leg like this and puff out your belly like this. Now, see, it fits just fine."
Convinced, the man limps out of the store wearing his new suit. As he hobbles slowly down the street, he passes two old ladies. One says to the other: "Did you see that poor crippled man. Gee, what a shame!"
"Yes" replied the other. "What a terrible shame! But did you notice that beautiful suit he was wearing?"
This story is about shame and conditioning, derived from fear (of survival).
We take on the fears, repressions and sense of duty and obligation from our parents, teachers, priests or politicians.
Our budding individuality and authenticity is brought down slowly by the repression of our society. We feel we have no choice. We give up our energy, vitality and spontaneity in exchange for "love".
Instead of blossoming into our true nature, we become what we is expected of us. Unconsciously, we continually compromise in return for our survival. We forget who we really are. We conform and become good citizens, good children and good students.
Even if we were able to be rebels, our rebellion would still be a reaction to the outside forces. We would lose our inner joy, trust and love for ourselves.
The restlessness and speed with which many of us eat, speak, move and keep ourselves busy are some of ways that our inner panicked child manifests him/herself. But this inner child often goes unnoticed and by ignoring our inner child we only create deeper trauma's.
The fear (panicked inner child) itself is not the problem. It is our lack of awareness and acceptance of this fear that causes difficulties. Intimacy is perhaps the most common place where we have to confront our panicked child and that is why we avoid it.
Only our meditator (the watcher, our Soul) within us is large and trusting enough to hold our vulnerabilities and insecurities because meditation brings understanding and space. Our inner child simply does not have the same capacity.
Facing loneliness is another area where our spiritual path loses it's romantic and idealistic fantasies. Dealing with it is not as easy as visiting a New Age book shop or holistic natural food store. When this wound surfaces, we are deep in the trenches. It hurts and every part of our conscious mind wants to avoid feeling the pain. Until we are willing to face this wound, our relationship with life and others is controlled by our reactive-entitled child.
Our journey through life can not be deep or blissful and our relationships will only be superficial arrangements masking mountains of resentment. We will never find another to shield us from the fear or the pain. Once we pull back this projection, we can actually share the path of finding truth with another. Until then, the lover is not yet a friend, he or she is someone we project upon to relieve our pain.
Our conditioning does not give us much support to let go and trust life as it comes. It deludes us into believing in the hope that someone or something will take our pain and fear away. It does not support the inner road that can lead to genuine recovery. It does not support mediation.
If we want to find ourselves again and rebuild our trust in ourselves and our life, there is no alternative other than to pass through our denial and journey inwards to face our pain and fears. This is the path of introspection and meditation – embracing what life brings us as food for growth – just watching, feeling and allowing. And this path is accessible to all of us.

Welcome to New Poetries
In the wet Manchester May of 1994, Carcanet published the first of its now five-volume New Poetries anthologies, Maurice Tempelsman read Cavafy's 'Ithaka' at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's funeral, and movie-goers first heard John Hannah read Auden's 'Funeral Blues' in Four Weddings and a Funeral. That same year, Paul Muldoon's The Annals of Chile appeared from Faber, going on to win the T.S. Eliot Prize, and Coach House Books published Christian Bök's Crystallography, a warning bell that signalled the arrival of conceptual poetry. In the autumn, there were films about poets, Alan Rudolph's Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, and Michael Radford's Il Postino. This was in the years between Walcott's and Heaney's winning of the Nobel Prize for Literature -- the last major poets to do so. And poetry itself was in the middle of something: it was selling, it was in the movies, there was product (Muldoon) and counterproduct (Bök).
Much of what was happening in 1994 continues today: for better or worse, poets are still at the cinema -- Plath (2003), Bright Star (2009), Howl (2010) -- and have even started popping up in fiction -- Bolaño's The Savage Detectives (2007) and Nicholson Baker's The Anthologist (2009); Muldoon is amid the most influential poets of his generation, and, to a very different generation, so is Bök. In the middle of all this the latest New Poetries arrives.
Over the past seventeen years, Carcanet's New Poetries anthologies have introduced some sixty poets to readers, 'published from Britain, [providing] a vista across a worldscape from a fixed point'. This blog is dedicated to the difference and variety of the New Poetries anthologies, to 'the irreducible plural of the title'. We hope readers will find here some thoughtful discussion on the workings of poetry, and ideas about and around the writing of poetry today.

Messy Christmas to all…
As the mother to allergic children, life is sometimes a very complicated and messy kind of exciting. I do my best to control the variables, avoid the trigger foods, minimize contaminations, but still allow them to have fun and normal meals and experiences. Every once in a while, something sneaks through. Every person is different, as is every allergic reaction. Dietrich's body tends to fight by eliminating the intruder as quickly as possible (a.k.a. violent projectile vomit).
On Thursday evening, we arrived home later than I intended and I didn't want to cook something and have a mess or leftovers to deal with before we left town. I ordered Pizza… a few hours later, Dietrich was a very sick little boy. I double-checked that his pizza did not have eggs in it (according to the website, it didn't), then I mentally went through everything he ate that day and came up with nothing. He had a smaller problem the next day, and then a huge problem on Christmas Eve. Finally, I concluded this was not an allergy problem.
The downside of this, we were at my father-in-law's house and a bit out of our own element as far as cleanup goes. However, I've been bringing my Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent on all of our trips. What was a bright red (salsa) mess on the sheets came out completely! I don't do before/after on these things partly because I don't think of it in the moment and partly because I don't want to gross everyone out with pictures to go with my words. Even I was skeptical, though I've seen the UPP completely remove poop from clothes and sheets.
Dietrich seemed much better today but tired. Madilynn took a turn at "accidents" – I think I've done laundry every day of this "vacation." Some days, we almost have this potty training thing down. Other days, it's clear we have a way to go. Playing is just more fun than going to the bathroom when you are four.
I hope your holidays were a better kind of eventful. I would love for you to share your stories in the comments!

The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1978, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her time. Beyond that, The World According to Garp virtually defies synopsis.
----"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it," said critic Terrence Des Pres. "Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous. . . . Friendship, marriage and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and disrupt, often fatally. Life, in Irving's fiction, is always under siege." Time magazine commented: "Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone."
----This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the author.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editons of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

G5: 1893 Lottie Jane (Shiels) Burdett
Lottie Jane Shiels was born February 28, 1893 at Parry Sound, Ontario. She was the only daughter of Thomas and Rachel Ann (Brigham) Shiels. She also had an older brother John George. In 1899 the family moved to Killarney, Manitoba, where Tom worked for the Railroad. In 1905 Thomas immigrated to Saskatchewan taking up a homestead twenty miles North of North Hope, later known as Stoughton.
The family followed by train in 1906. The district in which they resided was known as Lost Horse District, later called Glenada. When the railroad came through the village of Corning came into being. It was from this point they got their mail, but there were no stores in Corning so groceries had to be purchased from Stoughton. Then a man named Mr. Zink started a little store at Momart. He travelled through the country with a dray carrying groceries and exchanged them for eggs from the farmers in the area. Later Mr. Zink purchased a building in the Golden West District, three miles West of the Shiels'. They purchased their groceries there.
Lottie Jane Shiels and William Howard Burdett were married July 14, 1920 and resided with Tom and Rachel Shiels until the fall of 1926. Howard Burdett was the son of William and Maude Louise (Haycook) Burdett. Louise Maude Haycook's sister Emily had the privilege of singing before Queen Victoria in a theatre in London, England.
Howard was born in Birmingham, England and received his education there including violin lessons which would give him and others enjoyment all his life. In 1906, Howard came to Canada with his parents. Howard and his father came west to get a homestead near Stoughton. Howard's first job was working on a farm helping with gardening, dishes, etc. In 1910, Howard came to work in the district where Lottie lived. The Shiels family owned an organ that Howard used many times to tune his violin and this is how Howard and Lottie met and fell in love.
Two children were born to this happy union while living with Tom and Rachel, Eveleen Rachel was born September 12, 1921 and Norman John Edwin on December 25, 1925. In 1926 Lottie and Howard moved to their farm S.E. 25, 11 7 W2. Lottie's father Thomas Shiels passed away January 25, 1928. Lottie's mother, Rachel Shiels remained on her farm a short distance from Howard and Lottie. Howard and Lottie's third child, Lillian Rosella Burdett was born on November 28, 1930.
The depression started in 1927 and was in full swing by the early 1930's. In 1934 Howard and Lottie decided to move north to Tisdale, where they had heard that the land was better and the depression was not as bad. They took Rachel with them so they could better look after her. Howard travelled by train with the livestock and furniture. Lottie, Rachel, Norman, Eveleen and Lillian followed by car. The Corning store keeper Mr. Luke Deacon drove them to Tisdale. They stayed at Tom Stovin's (a prairie neighbour who had come north before) until Howard arrived two days later. They moved to the Willow Hill district for winter then to Eastman School district for six years. It was during this time that Rachel Ann Shiels passed away, August 16, 1939.
From Eastman district Howard and Lottie and family moved to a farm in Barrier District (Mckague being our town.) In 1942, they moved to Golburn district were Howard rented land for five years. During this time Eveleen went east to Hamilton, Ontario were she worked at the Otis Fenson Elevator Co. which was converted over into a War plant to make 40mm Bopher Guns. Eveleen was there from November to May of the next year. She returned home to complete her schooling and enter Teacher's Training College in Moose Jaw, commenced teaching in 1945.
Lottie and Howard moved to the farm N.E. 27-43-14 which he Eveleen & Don Hooper bought. They remained on the farm until 1969. They then moved to a home in Tisdale, Sask where they lived the rest of their lives. Howard and Lottie were very active in the church. Howard took special enjoyment in playing his violin for the hymns. He was also a life-time member of the Golburn Agricultural Society.
Howard and Lottie moved into the Lodge in Tisdale and had their own little apartment there for many years. They both lived to be a ripe old age, well over ninety. They celebrated their 60th Wedding anniversary in 1980 and Lottie made her own outfit for the occasion. Howard passed away October 31, 1987 at the age of 95 and Lottie died in 1988.

I'll admit it, when I saw the results of the GNOME Census put together by Dave Neary, I was ticked off, too.
Neary, who highlighted the results of his survey of the GNOME 2.30 code at GUADEC this week, set off a minor firestorm within the community when it was noted that among all the organizational commiters to the GNOME base code, Canonical, makers of the Ubuntu distribution, seemed to have contributed very little to GNOME.
Right now, the popular rallying cry for Canonical's critics is that Red Hat has placed 16.3 percent of GNOME's code commits, as opposed to Canonical's 1.03 percent.
Actually, I was a bit more specific. My first reaction to seeing the table of commits was incredulousness at seeing how Canonical compared to Sun Microsystems, not Red Hat.
(As an aside, and to be more fair to Sun, I should note that open source developer Carlo Daffara gave an informative reply to my initial tweet: "Sun made lots of work on GNOME--unfortunately, too few people noticed it. The work on security labels for GNOME was nice.")
Meanwhile, while I was working out my inner demons about Sun, others in the community were angry about Canonical's low amount of commits compared to Red Hat. And the chief pitchfork carrier, in this case, was Greg DeKoenigsberg, CTO of The Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education, a non-profit in Half Moon Bay, CA, and formerly the Senior Community Architect at Red Hat.
In a very heated blog post, DeKoenigsberg blasted Canonical for their lack of participation in GNOME, particularly in light of the fact that Canonical has often stated that their upstream contributions to the desktop are a key focus of their development strategy.
"I mean, I always knew that Red Hat put in a lot of work into GNOME, because I saw it every day--but until now, I thought that Canonical also put a lot of work into GNOME. They've certainly given the impression, over the last several years, of having put a lot of work into GNOME. They've been very successful at positioning themselves as the Eternal Champion of the Linux Desktop, and positioning Red Hat as the boring old has-beens who long ago abandoned the Desktop fight, and just do backroom server work that Real Linux People don't care about," DeKoenigsberg wrote.
Read the rest, bring a fire extinguisher. DeKoenigsberg is angry, and may have a right to be.
Canonical CTO Matt Asay made a comment soon after he noted DeKoenigsberg's blog entry "spanking" Canonical that finally made me stop and think that maybe there's more to this.
"Important to note [the GNOME Census] all-time GNOME contributions. Canonical will never catch up with Red Hat. It's not helpful data," Asay wrote.
And that is a very important point: in the grand scheme of total commits to GNOME, there is no way Canonical will be able to match Red Hat's totals now. If the numbers reflected commits over the last year or so, I would be willing to bet that Canonical's numbers would be closer to Red Hat's.
There's a larger issue here, though, that Canonical seems unwilling to address, as illustrated by their public responses to this situation. I mentioned a comment Asay made about Canonical getting spanked by DeKoenigsberg? Here's the entire tweet:
"[DeKoenigsberg] spanks Canonical for not contributing enough to Gnome... Fair [point], but we contribute tens of millions of users," Asay wrote.
This comment was echoed in Jono Bacon's more robust response earlier this morning: "Ubuntu, our primary product is a GNOME desktop, and the vast majority of our engineers are GNOME users and developers and they work every day on a GNOME based product."
Bacon also highlighted that while Canonical places a strong premium on desktop development, many of the changes are not at the core GNOME level.
"I think the GNOME Census report is excellent, and it provides some excellent visibility into contributions in GNOME, but it only takes into account upstream contributions to GNOME itself. What the report doesn't take into account are upstream contributions that are built on the GNOME platform but (a) not part of official GNOME modules, and (b) hosted and developed elsewhere, such as Launchpad. As such, while the report is accurate for showing code and contributions accepted into GNOME, there are also many projects built on GNOME technology that are not taken into account due to non-inclusion in GNOME modules or being developed outside of GNOME infrastructure," Bacon stated.
So, to the smaller issue of just how much code Canonical contributes to GNOME, it seems that a lot of the work they contribute are just not showing up in GNOME proper. It would be nice to see where their work is showing up, since when Canonical was criticized in 2008 about a lack of contributions to the Linux kernel, then-CEO Mark Shuttleworth said in an Ars Technica interview:
"The ecosystem is broader, deeper and richer than Greg was making out and those relationships are more complex than [Linux kernel developer] Greg [Kroah-Hartman] was making out. I believe Ubuntu and Canonical are making a very big difference in free software, and that has little to do with how many patches in the kernel have an @canonical.com email address associated with them," he said. "I'm not going to hire lots of people to keep Greg happy. I do continue to hire people to make free software into an amazing experience for me, my friends, my colleagues and peers, and everyone else I meet in a plane, train or on the street."
This leads me to the broader problem Canonical has. People are not angry just because Canonical doesn't seem to contribute to the kernel, or GNOME, or what have you. People are angry with Canonical because they have continually marketed themselves as $DEITY's gift to Linux and yet every time there are stats like this released, the company still seems to fall short.
The responses coming out today tell me this disconnect is still very prevalent in Canonical's culture.
From Asay: We bring more users to Linux. That's true. While DeKoenigsberg complains that Canonical is nothing more than a "marketing organization masquerading as an engineering organization," Red Hat (and Novell and all the other commercial distros) need to recognize that in terms of packaging and marketing Linux, Canonical has done more for adding desktop Linux users than Red Hat or Novell ever have. They may not like that, but to date, that's the truth.
From Bacon: The free and open source contributions made by Canonical show up in areas like applications and integration, plus building tools like Launchpad. Yes, very much so: this was even noted by Neary himself in his presentation (note slide 20). Though even Bacon notes that such contributions have not always been accepted by the upstream community. In the current example, this may come down to a difference in philosophies within the GNOME community.
Both of these responses are, to an extent, true. There is more to community participation than who contributes how much code. But participants in open source cannot ignore the value system of the particular community they are working with, either. Canonical seems to be placing a lot of merit in its non-code contributions to the community. That's all well and good, but they cannot escape the fact that as an active development organization in the broader Linux ecosystem, code contributions are still a valued currency.
The most telling response that shows Canonical's disconnect from the development community comes from Shuttleworth himself, who uses the notion of tribalism to try to head off the coming nuclear Armageddon that may be coming from the Ubuntu community.
"There is no need to get into a playground squabble about your values, your ethics, your capabilities or your contribution. If you can do better, figure out how to do that, but do it because you are inspired by what makes Ubuntu wonderful: free software, delivered freely, in a way that demonstrates real care for the end user. Don't do it because you feel intimidated or threatened or belittled," Shuttleworth wrote.
Unfortunately, in a valid effort to try to get this "rise above" argument out to his community, Shuttleworth reveals the core of why people are so pissed off at Canonical: that their values and goals seem to somehow trump the values of the broader Linux ecosystem. This entreaty for peace, to me, comes across as insulting, particularly labeling the legitimate concerns of developers as a "playground squabble."
I will always agree that reasoned discourse is better than a flamefest. I had a conversation about this with former openSUSE Community Manager Joe Brockmeier this morning, and he put it quite succinctly.
"We have the issue out in the open so it's time to get the parties in question at the table and fix the problems--we all want the same things and it's damaging to the community to be pointing fingers and frothing at the mouth," Brockmeier told me.
In our conversation, both Brockmeier and I agreed there is a real perception that Canonical has not been as good a community citizen as it could be. Yes, there are Canonical contributions being made on top of GNOME desktop and in other areas of Linux, but somehow these contributions are always touted by Canonical, while non-Canonical contributions seem to get downplayed or hardly mentioned at all. (Today's post by Bacon notwithstanding.)
The time has come for that reasoned discourse, Canonical.
The economy of Linux contains different kinds of currency: users, documentation, and contributions are all separate parts of the greater whole. But when you're working with developers, they may not want to see how much you are doing in the other areas. They want to see how much code you're bring to the table.
Canonical is trying highlight the bigger picture where they do make an impact, spending their user currency, or Launchpad currency, or all their other contributions' currency. What they fail to recognize is that developers won't always take that currency.
I have used Canonical as an example of why open source is not a democracy--it's a meritocracy. But in the strict meritocratic economy of developing code, Canonical will have trouble getting respect if they don't spend more.
That's the problem Canonical needs to address. Developers value contribution. Rightly or wrongly, Canonical is perceived as a low contributor. Don't tell Linux developers about how many users you have, or how many improvements you've made to Ubuntu--show developers where the upstream contributions to the broader ecosystem are.
And developers? Be aware there are other ways to contribute, and start looking at all the code Canonical sends upstream, not just in GNOME. You may find Canonical has been a better citizen than you think.
This story, "Canonical's Disconnect with Linux Developer Community" was originally published by ITworld.

I had the wonderful experience of visiting your school today with my daughter who has one infant and another on the way. We were so impressed with the staff and the students who were unquestionably engaged and committed to their work. It was very clear to us that MJ Montessori Academy was providing all that we had come to expect of top notch Montessori School. I am very excited for the opportunity my grandchildren will have there. Dr. Montessori would be impressed with the devleopmental opportunity you all are giving our little ones. I know the parents of the children I saw today must be thrilled with the growth they are witnessing. Great Job to all the staff and to Director Miller, Margie Centrone

Michael Noonan is to hit taxpayers with millions more in crippling cuts and tax hikes than the Troika wants.
The Finance Minister confirmed he is to push for a package that will drag our deficit down to well under 5% when all our bailout partners want is a 5.1% target.
This means he will take millions more out of the economy than necessary and exposes the massive gap between Fine Gael and Labour.
Sinn Fein's finance spokesman Pearse Doherty hit out at the decision claiming it was Minister Noonan's way and not Eamon Gilmore's.
He said: "The level of austerity is counter-productive. We have to meet our targets but we also have to do it in a way that delivers growth.
"To go beyond the targets is a sheer recipe to dampen down growth and domestic demand and inflict pain on the people who we need to bear attention to – not the markets but the citizens."
The Labour leader has been publically fighting for a Budget of €2.5 billion but judging by Minister Noonan's comments, he is unlikely to get anywhere near that.
Mr Noonan said any change in a decimal point could be worth €160million, spelling millions more in cuts and tax hikes.
He said: "The target we must achieve is at least 5.1% to be operating in accordance with the programme. For reasons of market sentiment it is probably important to beat the target. At present, without having the full data available to me, I hope to bring in a deficit in the high fours.
"I think that would be sufficient to give the kind of market confidence we need on exiting [bailout]."
Fianna Fail's finance spokesman Michael McGrath said: "We are being told very different things by very senior members of Government.
"The Tanaiste has been playing a high-stakes game in recent months saying there shouldn't be a cent more than required to get the deficit of 5.1%.
"The minister has given a different opinion here today – clearly there is a division within Government."
Independent TD Mick Wallace had called for the Government to introduce a sugar tax to draw in revenue and tackle obesity.
But Mr Noonan rejected it claiming sugar was "in a lot of food products including wine".
He did moot a stimulus package to help get the construction sector working saying his priority was to get people heaped on the dole because of the building bust back to work.

DIY Halloween Costumes for Little Boys: On the Job!
Not every family may be into the whole ghoulish and gory aspect of Halloween. Much less want their children dressed as monsters, zombies, or ghosts. So we wanted to do a little roundup of 'on the job' types of costumes that your little man can wear to go trick-or-treating in. And by 'job' we mean from medieval to modern. "The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker…:" Okay, maybe not quite those characters! But look below and you'll get the picture!
What fascinated us about these finds is how they're all such super-resourceful creations! They're either ingeniously crafted using household and hardware materials, or assembled from clothes and accessories that most of us already have right at home. Gotta love that!
Cool and Crafty Costume Ideas!
To give you a peek into the options available, we've listed the elements needed to make each costume yourself. Then, we've provided the source link for the step-by-step procedure and helpful tips.
Costume checklist for:
- 'Pirate Jake' – You'll need: a white t-shirt, blue jeans, blue and gold felt for the vest, brown trim for the criss-cross on the t-shirt, red fabric for the headband, brown boot covers, toy sword (Believe or not, very minimal sewing was involved; the vest is held together with hot glue!) Tutorial by Mind Over Messy
- Detective, a la Sherlock Holmes – You'll need: 2 white baseball caps, black spray paint, a canning lid, a foam paint brush, a piece of checkered fabric, black ribbon (These items came in a kit in this post we found, but you can buy them at any crafts store or look through your home stash.) Tutorial by Toddler Approved
- Thomas, the Train – You'll need: cardboard boxes; blue, red, black, and white paint; construction paper for the train details; round lidded paper mache boxes to make Thomas' 3D face and the wheels; scrap paper and white glue. (A pretty challenging project! But you can improvise and simplify as needed.) Tutorial by Little Red Window
- Fireman/Truck – You'll need: a cardboard box to fit your child, red paint, black paint, white construction paper for windows, yellow construction paper for headlights, paper plates for wheels, black ribbon for a hanging strap; oh, and a cool fireman's hat to complete the look! Tutorial by Plain Vanilla Mom
- Mad Scientist – (we're winging this one because the original post is untraceable) You'll need: clear swimming goggles, a checkered bowtie, a tailored white shirt from Dad, hair gel for that 'Einstein-like do.' Attributed to Crissy's Crafts, found via Li'l Sugar
- 'Minecraft Steve' – You'll need: cardboard sheets, Photoshop or similar photo editing software, sheetrock screws, liquid nails, masking tape and scotch tape, spray adhesive, Velcro, Gorilla Glue, scrap foam packaging, Exacto knife with spare blades, color printer (This costume takes more advanced crafting talent, but the result is worth it!) Tutorial by Instructables
- Knight in Shining Armor – You'll need: aluminum dryer vent duct, 2 car windshield silver sun shades, grey sweatshirt and pants, foamie glitter sheet (with a sticky backing), feather plume, 2 brass fasteners, 6-inch strip Velcro, scissors, needle and thread (Again, this one takes a little more crafting/sewing skill plus materials from a hardware or home repair depot, but isn't it ingenious?!) Tutorial by Savings Lifestyle
Note: These same materials can be made into a robot costume, too!
Can't get over how creative and resourceful these (mostly) mom-crafters were. Great inspiration, don't you agree, as you outfit your own little man for Halloween!

Whereas all of DC's sights and cultural establishments are welcoming and accessible to visitors, the following points of interest preserve dedicated net pages outlining their accessibility options, including ramps, sign language-interpreted excursions and wheelchairs.
Individuals with entry wants actually need to travel. A step on the resort entrance, an elevator too small for a wheelchair, and poorly designed accessible resort loos are widespread in lots of European motels. Some even embody information on their web sites about accessibility for people with disabilities.
With its world-class public transport, wheelchair-pleasant infrastructure and host of easy-to-entry points of interest, discovering Singapore is a breeze.

Hollywood Haunter 2013: Grave Rock Gulch
Location: 1547 Garden Street, Glendale 91201
Website: Click here
Description: The Hollywood Haunter presents a brand new theme for Halloween 2013: an old Western mining ghost town. Unlike the 2012 yard haunt, which featured a mausoleum, there will be no walk-through. Instead, trick-or-treaters will have a chance to pan - not for gold but for fingers, ears, eyes, and toes. Facades include a Jail, a Spanish Mission, a Train Depot, a Saloon, a General Store, a Dentist-Barber Shop, an Undertaker, a Gold Mine, and a Water Tower. The Hollywood Haunter explains that, although spooky, Grave Rock Gulch will not be scary. Children will have fun with the interactive elements, and adults can enjoy the impressive attention to detail.
Sets were mostly completed by mid-October, but full effects (fog, lighting, motorized props) will not be running until the week of Halloween, probably starting on Saturday, October 27 (check their Facebook page to be sure). Hours of operation are typically from sundown to approximately 10:00pm.
The Hollywood Haunter yard haunt is free, but there is a food drive. Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable item to support the local food bank.
Hollywood Gothique was quite impressed with Hollywood Haunter's 2012 Haunt on Garden Street (which we covered here). Though Grave Rock Gulch seems to be going in quite a different direction - more kid-friendly, less scary - this year's haunt sounds even more elaborate. Check it out...if you dare!

How does the Res-Q ID bracelet work?
It is a Rescue Emergency bracelet that can store the Owner's information, Medical history, Emergency contact information and Chronic Medication. When you scan the QR code, your identification sheet is automatically displayed on the smartphone and the person can read your information that you entered previously. You will always be in control of the personal and medical information displayed on your identification sheet.
Example 1: If you are unconscious after an accident, a first responder can scan the QR code on your bracelet. The information displayed will be: your name, any illnesses that require immediate attention besides the injuries suffered from the accident, your allergies, medication, medical history, blood type, doctor and pharmacist's contact information and most importantly emergency contacts so that they can notify your loved ones of the situation, comfort and inform them that help is on the way and to which hospital you are going to. This will avoid any confusion and above all your information will be available quickly.
Example 2: Your child can easily get lost in a crowd either at a mall or any other public place. The person who finds your child will be able to scan the QR code on their bracelet and have the information to contact you immediately and tell you where your child is. This person will also know if your child has allergies, illnesses, medical history, medication, his or her doctor's information, blood type etc. and act accordingly to the health of your child as they are waiting for you. Imagine all the stress and time you'll save looking for your child!
Why Should I have a Res-Q ID Bracelet?
It could be the difference between life and death when you're in accident and you're unconscious or can not speak for yourself, the Res-Q ID can speak for you, all your information easily accessible
What if I have changes to my contact or medical information?
Simply log into your account any time to update your information. There is never a charge for updating your information. All changes are automatically linked to your current QR code.
What about Identity Theft?
Res-Q ID only collects emergency medical information and does not reveal confidential detail like ID Numbers or driver's license numbers, eliminating the threat of identity theft.
But I have an ICE (In Case of Emergency) app on my phone
In most traffic accidents, your cell phone is the first thing that becomes a flying projectile; often lost in the vehicle and many times damaged and unusable. Also, research shows that over 74% of people that carry smartphones assign a passcode to access it. Even if you don't have a passcode, Emergency Responders don't expect to have access.
How do I activate/register my Res-Q ID Bracelet?
Log into our website www.resqid.co.za go to the registration page, register and select your payment plan. Your information sheet can then be accessed from your secure log in to upload and update your information.
What is a QR code?
The QR code is a type of barcode in two dimensions that consists of black modules arranged in a square on a light background. The arrangement of these dots defines the information contained in the code. QR (short for Quick Response) means that the contents of the code can be decoded quickly after being read by a smartphone or a tablet. You must first download the application to your smartphone or tablet to be able to capture and view QR codes.

text: "Alternative energy" is a phrase used to describe technologies that help increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on conventional fossil-fuel based electricity generation, but do not qualify as clean or renewable energy sources. Energy efficiency is often conceptualized as a clean energy resource, and many consider efficiency resources to be nearly unlimited. Although ISO-New England recognizes efficiency as a capacity resource, Massachusetts does not recognize efficiency technologies such as cogeneration as qualified renewable generating units. Instead, they fall under the category of "alternative energy" and are prioritized differently in terms of funding. The Alternative Portfolio Standard(APS) was established in January of 2009 as a result of the Green Communities Act. It requires a certain percentage of the state's electric load to be met by eligible "alternative energy" technologies. Read more.

Composite natural material
The biologic phenotype underlying chronic periodontitis, including the biofilm and the host response, tend to vary among individuals despite a similar clinical diagnostic category (Offenbacher et al. 2007). Consequently, disease screening should ideally be based on clinical determinations and the biologic phenotype (Page and Kornman 1997). Other associated factors include environmental exposures, as well as differences in genetic and possibly epigenetic composition (Page and Kornman 1997).

The objective of waste water treatment is to prevent large quantities of substances to reach and impact the environment in high doses and concentrations. Areas of high population densitiy naturally are areas were production of sewage sludge is high (see Figure 1-1). Presently about 8 million t of sewage sludges (MAGOAROU 2000) are produced each year in the EU member states (Table 1-1). Its high content of organic materials, of nitrogen and phosphorous suggest their use as soil conditioner and fertilizer in agriculture.

Calculation of disposal costs may involve a set of tasks. It may be necessary to calculate material flows (an engineering exercise) from the plant's production process so that wastes can be desegregated and tracked. These material flows will then have to be translated into disposal costs. This calculation can be complex. Consider the issues that arise if the waste is destined for landfill disposal. First, there will be marginal disposal costs associated with transport of the waste. Second, the waste's contribution to landfill costs must be calculated.

Many of the Earth's elements travel or cycle through the natural environment. This means that they are transported from the soil into nearby lakes and rivers, and then evaporate from the water into the air, to be transported by wind and eventually re-deposited to the surface where the cycle starts over again. Mercury cycles through the environment in this way (see Figure 5). An atom of mercury may begin its journey by being eroded from rocks on the shore of a lake or by being vented into the atmosphere as mercury vapour from a volcanic eruption. These are natural emissions.

Composites are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. Basically, they can be categorized into two major types, i.e., structural composites with outstanding mechanical properties and functional composites with various outstanding physical, chemical or electrochemical properties. They have been widely used in a wide variety of products, e.g.
