For older adults, there are a number of foods to avoid to decrease the chance of foodborne illness. Since the immune system declines with age, fighting off bacterial pathogens in foods could be more difficult for an older adult than younger adults, who might end up with nothing worse than some passing diarrhea or a low-grade fever.
Immunity Declines With Age
Some people over aged 60 may have atrophic gastritis, a condition that could make it easier for harmful bacteria to survive the journey through the gastrointestinal tract. The immune system starts to lose efficiency at a certain point, too. But, the rate at which that happens differs from person to person. There's no way of knowing for certain who is going to be affected when—or how strongly. So if you are in your golden years, how do you know if your immune system has weakened to the point that you should take extra precautions when it comes to food safety and listen to government alerts? If you notice that you are getting infections that you did not used to get, then that may be a sign. But no matter how healthy you may feel, it is good to be aware of the possibilities of getting certain diseases and to be thoughtful of the foods you eat.
Food for Thought
As the immune system declines over the years, it is wise to consider whether the food you are eating could put you at risk for an infection from harmful foodborne bacteria. Older adults in nursing homes or those with vulnerable immune systems obviously have to be careful about what they eat. But healthy older adults should also make conscious, informed decisions about food safety. Taking a calculated risk—or opting for zero risk is better than ignoring risk altogether.
Give thoughtful consideration to the following foods:
Uncooked, refrigerated foods—soft unpasteurized cheese such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined and Mexican-style varieties; deli meats and other ready-to-eat meat and poultry products; smoked fish, such as smoked salmon; refrigerated pates and meat spreads
All of these foods can contain bacteria. Cooking kills the harmful microorganisms, but none of these foods are eaten heated. The bacteria can cause everything from flu-like symptoms to meningitis, a life-threatening inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
Foods made with unpasteurized raw eggs—Caesar salad dressing, hollandaise sauce, egg nog, key lime pie
Raw, unpasteurized eggs may contain bacteria that can cause nausea and diarrhea, but it can also lead to serious complications such as severe dehydration. Runny eggs and sunny sides-up can contain bacteria too. Eggs that are runny are not exposed to enough heat to kill the bacteria that may be present, and sunny sides-up would need to be flipped over to make sure the bacteria are killed on both sides.
Raw mollusks—oysters, clams, and mussels
These foods sometimes contain bacteria that can cause severe dehydration and stomach cramps or fever and blood poisoning.They may also contain a hepatitis virus.
These curly vegetable threads that often appear atop salads or tucked into sandwiches can contain bacteria. The high level of moisture sprouts need to grow provides the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. Since the sprouts are typically eaten raw, the pathogens—which can cause kidney failure—don't get killed during cooking. Washing thoroughly doesn't rid them of all the bacteria either.
Fresh, unpasteurized juice
Some juice may be unpasteurized, meaning that it has not been treated to kill harmful bacteria. It may cause foodborne illness, ranging from diarrhea and stomach cramps to more severe symptoms.
Coping with Illness
You may still become sick despite taking these safety precautions. If you think you might have a food-related illness, contact your doctor or go to the emergency room right away.

Twilight Tower Bridge
Acrylic Frameless
Acrylic Prints have vivid colors and an amazing sense of depth which is almost like looking through a window. The light that is reflected off the print is visually "trapped" within the acrylic and when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit. Acrylic prints are created by face mounting a metallic gloss paper print on to a sheet of 3/16 inch cast acrylic sheet. A shadow mount is then attached to the back of the acrylic print for a frameless contemporary display. Acrylic prints are rated to have an archival life of 80 years or more.
Metal Print
Metal Prints have a high gloss finish which is striking for vivid colors and image depth which looks almost 3 dimensional. They have a magical luminescence which is so durable they are rated to have an archival life of 100 years or more. Metal Prints are created using dye-sublimation technology to infuse inks on to specially coated aluminum panels. The hard surface is very durable so there is no need to be covered with glass or plexiglass. Rob Tilley Photography metal prints are available framed or with a frameless shadow mount.
These glicee prints have a matt finish with vivid color and texture resembling a watercolor painting. German Etching Paper prints are printed using archival inks on heavy weight, acid free paper rated to last 80 years or more. These prints should be framed under glass or plexiglass to protect the print.
These prints have an extremely glossy surface which almost looks like glass. Supergloss prints have high color saturation, remarkable sharpness and image depth that looks almost 3 dimensional. The rich colors of these prints are rated to last 60 years or more. Supergloss prints need to be matted and framed under glass or plexiglass to protect their finish.

Create customized memory keepers with these beautiful scrapbooking albums. They come in a wide range of sizes and coverings to suit your style and subject matter. Select albums from brands like American Crafts, Amanda Blu, and 7 Gypsies.
Stylish Coverings
The scrapbooking albums you choose set the tone for the style and content of the interior pages. Fabric covers give your scrapbook a soft, homey feeling, while leatherette albums are an ideal way to commemorate cosmopolitan vacations. For a whimsical look, choose a sports-themed album or one printed with inspirational words. Each album is designed with style in mind, so you can display it on a bookshelf or table with pride.
Convenient Sizes
Many of these scrapbooking albums adhere to a standard size, 12-inch square, so you can use them with your existing cardstock or patterned paper. Simply slide your completed page into a page protector and insert it into the album—no cutting or resizing required. For a unique look, select a non-standard size like 11-inch by 14-inch album or an 8-inch square book.
Customizable Designs
Put your special stamp on a scrapbook with an album that features built-in picture frames. Choose a single-frame design for a classic look or a collage-style cover to show off your favorite moments. For the artistically inclined, a craft album acts as a blank canvas for a customizable design.
Timesaving Packages
Save time with albums that include scrapbooking supplies. Coordinating stickers and frames make it easy to create a running theme that extends across each page, giving your book a unified look. Other albums include coordinating paper packs or pre-printed page backgrounds—just add your photos and memorabilia for instant personalization.

Third Church of Christ, Scientist, and Christian Science Monitor Building
The Third Church complex was designated by the Washington DC Historic Preservation Office as a Historic Landmark on December 6, 2007. The site is also part of the Sixteenth Street Historic District that was designated by Washington DC on March 9, 1977 and listed on the National Registry on Aug 25, 1978. The District was expanded on July 18, 2007 by DC and July 11, 2007 by the National Registry.
The Third Church complex was commissioned as part of a larger building campaign started in 1966 by Christian Science Church to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Church's founding. The construction campaign also included a major administrative center built in the Back Bay area of Boston near the original 1894 First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts, usually referred to as the "Mother Church." Araldo A. Cossutta of I.M. Pei & Partners also designed the Boston project.
The Mother Church originally planned to build only new offices for the Committee and the Christian Science Monitor, the journalistic branch of the organization. This coincided with the Third Church of Christ, Scientist's search for a new location and they arranged to be co-located on the northwest corner of 16th street and I street.
During the planning for the Washington, D.C. complex, the church considered and eventually rejected designs from an architect who was a member of the congregation. The church leaders were undecided on the decision to pursue a modern or traditional design and invited I.M. Pei & Partners to propose a plan. Araldo A. Cossutta of I.M. Pei & Partners proposed a design similar to the finally realized form of the complex but the church rejected it as too expensive. After considering many other architects, they eventually awarded the commission to I.M. Pei & Partners with Cossutta as the lead architect. The buildings were preliminarily planned to be clad in limestone but this material was changed to entirely cast-in-place concrete to limit construction costs. This was a fortuitous decision as Cossutta had previously in his career displayed great aptitude in designing for this medium.
The Third Church complex is composed of two buildings connected by a central triangular grass plaza. The two buildings--the five-story octagonal Third Church and the eight-story L-shaped Monitor Building--are linked visually through materials, design, construction method and orientation on the site, giving the complex a unified aesthetic.
Both buildings are built in the Brutalist style, characterized by their use of roughly cast-in-place concrete. On the exterior of the Third Church complex, the pattern of the form work is visible and the seams of the casting joints are used to emphasize the complex's horizontality, further highlighted by the long rows of horizontal windows on the Monitor Building. The concrete has a warm earthy tone, achieved through the addition of a red sandstone aggregate, that allows the buildings to harmonize with the limestone cladding of the neighboring buildings.
The interior openness allowed by the cast-in-place concrete construction system is fully exploited by Cossutta, who banishes all columns and interior supports from the layout, allowing all the load to be borne exclusively by the exterior walls. The horizontally alternating bands of substantial cast concrete and comparatively weightless glazing on the facade of the Monitor Building creates a visual tension that gracefully illustrates the lack of interior columns. The interior ceiling of both buildings were cast in a ridged waffle pattern that creates a coffered effect on the ceiling of the main auditorium. The design emphasizes the play of light and shadow created by the indirect sunlight that streams into the interior though two skylights. In the Monitor Building, this series of grids accentuate the open floor plan.
The entrances to both buildings are located on the plaza, orienting them with one another and creating an inward-reflecting unity. The plaza was designed around several existing mature trees on the site that serve to naturally enclose the open space while providing a landscaping technique that I.M. Pei viewed as integral to a livable space. The herringbone red brick paving in the plaza continues into the buildings' lobbies, joining in the interior and exterior.
The Third Church is a free standing building situated on the south side of the lot with a vast, unadorned wall facing toward both I Street and Sixteenth Street. Despite its exterior octagonal shape, the interior a large cube-shaped auditorium with four projecting bays that give the structure its distinctive shape. An innovative horizontal sculptural "bell tower," extends outward from the east facade towards 16th Street.
1968 - 1971
The site is located two blocks from the White House on Sixteenth Street, one of the most important avenues in Washington DC. The construction of the Third Church complex illustrates the transformation of the Sixteenth Street corridor between the 1920s and the 1970s from a residential neighborhood to an institutional and commercial thoroughfare.
The site of the current Third Church complex had been held since 1947 by Church Realty Trust, a branch of the Mother Church. The former Gray-Payne residence previously occupied the site and was used as a reading room for all congregations of The Christian Science churches in Washington, D.C.
In an article from the October 1966 issue of Progressive Architecture, Araldo Cossutta describes the evolution of his use of concrete during his time with I.M. Pei and partners from a pre-cast skin on a concrete structure to a cast-in-place load-bearing construction. When designing the Denver Hotel that was completed in 1960, Cassutta chose to build in concrete rather than the popular steel and glass style propagated by 860 Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, the Lever House and Pei's Mile High Center in order to exploit the clear air and bright sun light of his location in Denver, Colorado. Rejecting the transparency of glass, he sought to capture the Denver sun's ability to "brilliantly delineate light from shadow and transform its tracery into architecture." Despite their tremendous compressive strength, the nature of pre-cast modules required the use of a concrete frame due to their inability to resist lateral loads without expensive construction techniques. He began to seek a low cost material and method of construction that would combine both interior stability and exterior skin, "structure and architecture." Cossutta found his answer in cast-in-place concrete. Cossutta and his colleagues at I.M. Pei & Partners began to experiment with cast-in-place concrete to fully understand the material and explore effective techniques for its use. They systematically eliminated superfluous architectural elements in a series of cast-in-place concrete buildings over several years, leading to the Christian Science Church Center in Boston and the Third Church of Christ complex in Washington D.C., among other notable buildings. In the Third Church of Christ complex, Cossutta creates solid architectural mass in cast-in-place concrete that is defined by the proportions between the church, office and grass plaza and illuminated by the play of light and shadow.
The Third Church complex has a significant relationship to the growth of the Christian Science Church in Washington, D.C. The first two churches established by Christian Science were located in residential neighborhoods. The Third Church was founded as a downtown-based congregation in 1918. Their commitment to an urban location combined with a rapidly expanding congregation created difficulties in finding suitable spaces that they could afford. After renting space in two other locations in downtown Washington, the church purchased a former Universalist church at the corner of 13th and L streets in 1926. The interior of the church was remodeled by removing the stained glass to allow more light into the sanctuary and rebuilding the main auditorium to hold 900 people with 200 more in the Sunday School. By 1967, the church was looking for a new location but its continued commitment to a downtown location created the same financial difficulties it had earlier in the century. This dedication was especially rare in the 1950s and 1960s when many other churches were relocating from downtown Washington D.C. to escape the social and economic problems so prevalent in mid-twentieth-century cities.
Their search coincided with the Mother Church's plan to construct a new office building for the Committee and the Christian Science Monitor as part of the centennial celebration of the founding of the Christian Science faith. The Third Church of Christ arranged with the Mother Church to include their new sanctuary in the development of the site located at the corner of Sixteenth Street and I Street. This inclusion coincided with the Mother Church's other aspirations as well; in the 1960s, the Christian Science Monitor maintained a nationally respected reputation and by including a house of worship and the Monitor's Washington DC office within the same complex, Christian Science created a visual expression of the close alignment between the religious organization and their journalistic publication.
The inclusion of a worship space within an administrative complex symbolically illustrates the institutional strength of the congregation and religious organization. Additionally, by employing a prominent architectural style and architectural firm, the Third Church complex was an emblematic representation of Christian Science's national presence on a prominent lot located only two blocks from the White House.
Despite the destruction seen on Fourteenth Street during the devastating 1968 riots following Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, two blocks away from the planned site, Christian Science continued with the construction of the complex, illustrating the depth of their conviction that they gain a significant downtown landmark.
The Third Church complex embodies many of the theological beliefs of Christian Science within its aesthetic language. Christian Science has its roots in Congregationalism or a communal form of worship. The importance of gathering in a shared space is reflected in the centralized layout of the Third Church. Cossutta originally intended to use a circular exterior that would more fully realize this communal expression but substituted an octagonal form to allow the building to harmonize with the surrounding rectilinear buildings. Christian Science also emphasizes an inward reflection and spirituality that is reflected in the windowless auditorium and insular plaza. Additionally, Christian Science is strongly tied to the written word. This is echoed in the use of text as the only form of ornamentation on the interior and, aside from the cantilevered bell tower, on the exterior. In a letter to the Historic Preservation Review Board in 2007, Araldo Cossutta described his intentions for the design of the Third Church complex: "My aim was to bring out the purity of forms by the precision of well proportioned elements of the design, producing crisp play of light and shadow, all as part of a serene and elegant urban setting." He rejected the intrinsic implication that the term "Brutalist" implied a brutal or aggressive aesthetic. Instead, he sees the form as a development of Le Corbusier's notion of "beton brut," meaning "concrete, unaltered," a material that allowed a creative freedom of new and poetic architectural forms. The Third Church complex shows many similarities to Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois. Both share a monumentality, use of cast concrete on both the interior and exterior, diffuse lighting provided by skylights, and an insular and tranquil congregational space. Cossutta's design of the Third Church of Christ is reminiscent of the Battistero di San Giovanni, or the Florence Baptistery located in the Piazza del Duomo. They not only share a similar shape but are also correspondingly proportionally balanced by a large structure related to them across an open plaza: the Duomo cathedral in the case of the baptistery and the Monitor Building in the case of the Third Church of Christ.
At its time of construction, the Third Church complex was heralded as a significant and unique example of modern architecture in Washington DC. In 1971, the design won the "Award for Excellence in Architecture" from the Metropolitan Washington Board of Trade. Not all evaluations of the building have been laudatory, however. The architecture critic for the Washington Post, Wolf von Eckardt, was particularly critical, condemning the exterior treatments and orientation of the buildings on the site as "arrogantly detached." Indeed, the plaza never achieved its intended purpose as a social gathering space for the church members. Von Eckardt did admit some appreciation for the use of light in the interior of the church, admitting that the main auditorium was "perhaps even quite beautiful."
Members of the Third Church's congregation have repeatedly made statements to the press lamenting the architectural style of the building. Many believe that the complex does not reflect their religious beliefs or the spirit of Christian Science. J. Darrow Kirkpatrick, a lay leader of the church, stated that, "Ours is not an inward-looking, secretive religion...This building does not represent our theology or our beliefs." The fact that they accepted the plan that Araldo Cossutta proposed could arise from three reasons. The first was pressure from the Mother Church at the time to hire the same firm that they were employing for the Monitor building. The second was economic; the church could not afford to purchase their own property in the downtown area and were thus forced to submit to the pressures of the Mother Church. The original plans to clad the building in the more traditional material of limestone were also rejected due to funding. The third could have been the social situation in downtown Washington, D.C. at the time. As one long time congregation member, Julia Cuniberti, reflected, "We were committed to downtown, but people were fleeing. Members said, OK, if we want to be downtown we have to protect ourselves." A solid, fortress-like structure could have satisfied this reflex for self-preservation.
Over the subsequent forty years, however, the church design has proved to not be conducive to the congregation's uses. A major flaw in the design of the auditorium is the electric lighting placed in the coffered ceiling, four-stories above the floor. The congregation is forced to erect costly scaffolding to replace expired bulbs.
The Third Church complex, as described by the Historic Review Board of Washington, D.C., "stands as a uniquely distinguished example of ecclesiastical architecture, distinctly urban in character." It is a notable and innovative example of the Brutalist style, particularly the Brutalist style employed in a theological setting. The fact that it did not serve the uses of its congregation is extremely unfortunate and shows that some experimental architecture will fail.

HTC has revealed on Twitter that no plans are in the pipeline for Windows Phone 7.8 to be released for the HD7. While this is no confirmation that the company will never update the HD7, it's a shame there's nothing for consumers who still wield the handset. Sporting Windows Phone 7, the user experience is still butter smooth and rich, but everyone wants the latest and greatest, right?
@burybren At this time, HTC does not have plans to deliver a Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade. If that should change, we'll let you know.— HTC (@htc) January 29, 2013
So is HTC wrong to leave out consumers? It depends. While we can moan and complain that the manufacturer should continue to support its released hardware, but the HD7 is many generations ago. Those who purchased the handset have either upgraded to newer smartphones, or are nearing the end of the contract.
We'd of course like to see each and every owner with the 7.8 update, but if this holds out it shouldn't come as such a surprise. That said, if you're into hacking your way through the thorns to reach your goal, there are available ROMs out there which would bump the HD7 up to Windows Phone 7.8.
We'll be sure to update you should any details arise.

Congressional Republicans are trying to exploit two controversies bedeviling the Obama administration to undermine the health care reform law. They are using an uproar over misguided tactics by Internal Revenue Service employees to target conservative political groups seeking tax-exempt status as an excuse to prohibit the agency from playing a pivotal role in carrying out the Affordable Care Act. And they want to use a controversy over efforts by the secretary of health and human services, Kathleen Sebelius, to encourage private donations to help enroll people in new health care exchanges as a cudgel to disrupt such efforts.
Under the health reform law, the I.R.S. is required to examine tax returns to determine who is eligible for a tax-credit subsidy to buy health insurance and who must pay a fine for failing to buy insurance. A Republican bill in the Senate would prohibit the I.R.S. from enforcing the reform law (a related Republican bill in the House would do the same unless there are certifications made that the I.R.S. will not target groups or individuals for political reasons).
An investigation by the Treasury Department's inspector general blamed midlevel workers, confusing rules and ineffective management, but it found no evidence that the staff had been under political pressure to focus on conservative groups. Still, Republicans have scheduled hearings to try to link the scandal to health care reform. Putting any limits on the I.R.S. role in determining health subsidies for uninsured Americans would be disastrous.
The controversy surrounding Ms. Sebelius involves her efforts to persuade nonprofit groups and business executives to donate money to or otherwise assist Enroll America, a nonprofit group that aims to help people enroll in new health care exchanges, pick suitable policies and apply for tax credits. She was driven to solicit help because Republicans have repeatedly and shamefully denied requests for money needed for this purpose.
A spokesman for the department said Ms. Sebelius has made only two fund-raising calls. She called the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and H&R Block, neither of which is regulated by her department. She had engaged in "a dialogue" with a wide range of business and nonprofit groups, he said, on how they might help the uninsured.
The problem is that Enroll America is led by former members of the Obama White House, and Mr. Obama's presidential campaigns and some of the people solicited by current or former administration officials felt as though they were being pressured into giving. An investigation by the Government Accountability Office into this matter, as Congressional Republicans are seeking, could shed light on who said what to whom. Whatever the outcome of an inquiry, there are many patient groups working to help the uninsured, and donors should not be deterred from supporting those groups.
Of course, many Republicans are not interested in making sure that millions get help. In fact, as Jeremy Peters reported in The Times last week, the House has voted 37 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act or deprive it of funds since January 2011. That is about 15 percent of the time spent on House floor votes.

Abundant Blue Flowers for an Intense Floral Display (Bluebeard)
From summer through fall Caryopteris delights with beautiful fragrant blue blooms that are set against a backdrop of yellow or dark green foliage. Butterflies adore the rich blue flowers that may be cut to add interest to floral arrangements. Deer resistant and drought tolerant, Bluebeard requires full sun and loose, well-drained soil. Caryopteris is perfect for those drier areas of the garden or landscape.
With a 2' to 4' height and spread, Caryopteris forms a mounded habit that requires little pruning, but may be trimmed to shape. Northern states may experience some winter die back, but Bluebeard is root hardy and since blooms develop on new wood (current season's growth) summer flowering is not affected. Use Caryopteris as a specimen or border shrub and in mass plantings. Add a controlled release fertilizer in early spring to promote a healthly season long shrub.

Hi RW,
Nice talk page. --Optimist 11:01, April 7, 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks. --RWSmith 19:01, April 13, 2007 (EDT)
1. thanks for the credit for the userboxes. if you look at my wikipedia user page, you will see why i like them so much User:YAKatz.
2. i am not sure who put this article together (it seems like you), but at the end, i am not sure where it is going from there (in the instructions). if you tell me what you planned to write, i might be able to finish it up. --Yakatz 15:02, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, I adapted it for this site; but, you are certainly welcome to edit workpages. --RWSmith 00:18, April 30, 2007 (EDT)
Userbox: User eagle scout
i am trying to make the userbox accept an argument for whether the user has any palms.
any idea's why it wont work?
--Yakatz 15:05, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
- Nah; I tried also... to no avail. I do know there are some differences in the s/w run on "the" Wikipedia and MediaWiki. I'm still trying to learn what we can and cannot do with this code. A programmer I am not; I'm a hardware geek, by trade. ;-) --RWSmith 23:39, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
Hey Man
Thanks for keeping order here. I noticed that you eliminated 2 vandals on 6/10. Nice Job!!! --Stranger 18:15, June 14, 2007 (EDT)
- Wow. Thanks for noticing and taking the time to say so. I'm humbled. We've really got a great core team of Sysops; but, this whole wiki thing is new to us, myself included. The site is new; --Thank you! Oh, wise and mighty Optimist!-- hence the low vandal rate. But, we've been getting hammered with the bots; so, I expecting things in the admin department's duties will be picking up, soon... Hopefully though, it'll be smooth and quite in the basement. --RWSmith 11:58, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
- You're welcome. I was wondering how you achieved the green box around the text at the top of the page. I was trying to format my talk page and could not figure it out. You can put it on my page or on this one, doesn't matter.--Stranger 14:07, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
- Never mind, I found out how...thanks anyway.--Stranger 14:40, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
Two Points
First off, the page for Citizenship in the Community. I have a question. Do we need to have it recommend R rated movies? It could lead to problems later. Second, you reverted my removal of two links on the Hiking page. I removed one because it is broken and leads to an error, and I edited the other to make its destination clearer. Why did you revert it? Sorry if you had a good reason, I'm relatively new to the wiki so I was just wondering if those were like that for a reason. Epmatsw 18:33, June 18, 2007 (EDT)
- First point... Good question. I'd ask that over on the Talk:Citizenship in the Community page.
- Second point... Since you also posted this over on Talk:Hiking, see my reply there --RWSmith 18:54, June 18, 2007 (EDT)
Userbox Templates Page
I suggest removing everything in Category:Userbox_Templates as it leads to confusion on the Category:Eagle_Scout_Users page and the templates dont do anything anyway.
- --Yakatz 16:49, June 26, 2007 (EDT)
It's just shorthand to display a template with a link. Like. . .I create Template:Foo; I'd use {{foo}} to show users how to use it on a page, and give them a link to the actual template so they can read the documentation. Is that what you meant? Blast 13:40, July 14, 2007 (EDT)
It's only fair for me to tell you- this wiki is awesome. I had my doubts, but I love it here and can't wait to contribute more to this! Great work, RW. Really- fantastic job :D
Discontinued MB List
Around a week and a half ago I proposed an idea for creating a list of discontinued merit badges and such and you said you'd get back to me in a few days or so about it. I was just wondering if I can go ahead and send you some stuff I've made now or hold off for a bit longer. Thanks; please respond asap. Take care. Swim4lyfe 22:32, September 5, 2007 (EDT)
- Don't worry about it; get to it when you can. I really can only do work with MBO during the weekends anyways, due to school and all. Nice template- see the stuff I wrote down. I categorized the merit badges in a different way (this was before you made your list) so if you want to see that one, just tell me.
Pages that need creation
RW, is there a list of pages that need creation/large work? While I am an experienced Wikipedia guy, I find that working on a relatively new project is a bit different. I guess I just need a direction to focus my energies on. Thanks. —ScouterSig 11:10, September 13, 2007 (EDT)
- Funny you should mention that. Every time I "find" a page to create, and go over to Wikipedia to see how it's done... not just on the surface; but, really digging deep into the bowels of the thing... I find three more "things" that we need. Good grief!
- I will say this, though... I like to take only what we need (from Wikipedia) for our purposes here, though... i.e., K.I.S.S. For example, we don't need four levels of User warnings; and we certainly don't need 50 different kinds.
- I've unintentionally been putting it off; but, let's try to get some "collaboration" going on here... Templates, Help, Portals(?), Userboxes, Community portal, etc... where Contributors can share ideas, help each other out, etc. Contributors need to understand that there are two ways to help out:
- First, there's the Main namespace—where everything Scouting-related goes. There are already lots of articles in there that are in serious need of attention... e.g., Stubs, Expand, Wikify.
- Second, is all the other namespaces—MeritBadgeDotOrg (the "project" namespace), Templates, Help, Category, Image and, of course, User
- I'm sure, being an experienced Wikipedian, you're already aware of all this. But, I'm writing it out so others can benefit from our conversation, as well. So, the question is... "What do you like to do?" I, personally, like to work on the administrative/maintenance stuff... I figure there's plenty of folks who would rather work on building up the Scouting articles, anyhow.
- I'm going to put up some collaboration pages later this evening, and will probably copy part of this over to the Community portal, as well. Thanks for asking. I'll add to my reply some more later. And welcome aboard! --RWSmith (Sysop), 16:58, September 13, 2007 (EDT)
Leadership template
RW, please check out my template for leadership positions that I am working on. Tell me what you think. —ScouterSig 16:41, September 18, 2007 (EDT)
- See User talk:Scoutersig/Workspace2 --RWSmith (Sysop), 12:31, September 23, 2007 (EDT)
- As for your proposal at User talk:Scoutersig/Workspace, when would there be approval (for youth positions) by anyone except the Scoutmaster? (And the Scoutmaster and Committee Chair are both appointed by the Troop Committee, correct? Am I missing other positions?) —ScouterSig 11:41, September 26, 2007 (EDT)
- The SPL apoints the ASPL with the SM's approval. (I was going to add some light colors; but I had to go.) BTW, I was just trying to mess around, trying a little something different, maybe spark some ideas for you. I think the one you already made is just fine — even great. --RWSmith (Sysop), 14:02, September 26, 2007 (EDT)
Hey I'm back
Hey RWSmith, I'm sorry I've been gone for a while, but school started and I've been extremely busy. I've pretty much gotten it all under control now, so I'm back and ready for whatever you need for me to do. Once against I apologize for my inactivity and I hope that I haven't done (or haven't done) anything to cause problems on MBOrg. Could you send me some information on what's been going on lately and post it on my talk page? I'm happy to do whatever you want me to do, and I want you to know I'm happy to be back. Thanks. Swim4lyfe 17:13, October 14, 2007 (EDT)
RW, could you copy some Wikipedia templates to MB.org? I was hoping to use See also and For. I may come up with another. These templates would be very useful; I see you already made a Template:Main, so you must know what I mean. Thanks. —ScouterSig 19:10, October 25, 2007 (EDT)
User:Chessjhm7 and User:Robocz033 need to be blocked. Thanks. —ScouterSig 16:09, October 29, 2007 (EDT)
Block vandal
User:Poop needs to be blocked. Thanks. —User:Missylou2who 17:40, November 2, 2007 (EDT)
Update Main Page
RWSmith, Could I request you to make some changes to the Main Page? Since the page is protected, and it does not appear that anyone really ever looks at the discussion for the page, I am not sure what is the course to take.
Two requests:
- 1. Delete the page: Venturer Electives
This page was created under a misunderstanding of what electives and core requirements are. There are no "Venterer Electives" but rather core and elective requirements for the Venturing Ranger Award.
- 2. Change the section "Advancement Requirements" to:
Advancement requirements
- Advancement for all programs
- Cub Scouting advancement
- Boy Scouting advancement
- Varsity Scouting advancement
- Venturing advancement
Thanks in advance for the help —User:Missylou2who 14:12, November 6, 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks again. —User:Missylou2who 9:24, November 8, 2007 (EDT)
User:Breakaway needs to be blocked for vandalism. --Stranger 12:18, November 21, 2007 (EST)
Opening up a second browser
Is it possible to set the pages up so that the external links open up in a second browser window(target=_blank)? Sure would make the site more user-friendly, keeping the main window at the MeritBadge.org site. EagleForumFan 04:18, November 24, 2007 (EST) (ETA: Also left you a message on my talk page)
I don't know how; but, it's a great idea. (I will work on this, though.) Any suggestions would be appreciated. --RWSmith (Sysop), 08:56, December 4, 2007 (EST)
Block vandal
Please block User:Mz5723 for vandalism of the Camping merit badge page. - Missylou2who 09:02, November 27, 2007 (EST)
Done. --RWSmith (Sysop), 08:52, December 4, 2007 (EST)
Remove inapprorate image Fsm.jpg
I suggest that Fsm.jpg be deleted from this site. See my comments on Image talk:Fsm.jpg if you concur. This was more likely added as an attempt at humor rather than to be disparaging, but it doesn't belong on this site regardless.
- I have sent a request to BigTuna, politely asking him to consider removing said Userbox and image. --RWSmith (Sysop), 02:07, December 19, 2007 (EST)
The difference between "Help with these requirements" and "External Links"
I'm seeing some inconsistency (and I'm sure I'm contributing to it ;-)) with what goes where. Do *ALL* external links go under that section? What about ones that are specifically tied to a requirement? If so, what goes under Help? Is there a template page, or can you tell me which of the merit badge pages is done correctly so that I can see a proper example? -EagleForumFan 04:36, November 29, 2007 (EST)
Linking to Wikipedia?
Is there a policy about linking to Wikipedia as a source? IMHO, if there's another source with better (or as good as), it's not the best choice. EagleForumFan 12:56, December 6, 2007 (EST)
- FWIW, my preference for Scouting links goes like this:
- First, official BSA external links (or internal links to other MeritBadgeDotOrg pages);
- Second, when appropraite, MeritBadge.Net forums;
- Third, information, fact, or resouce pages at USScouts.org;
- Fourth, information, fact, or resouce pages at Wikipedia's Scouting portal.
Part A
Personally, I love the worksheets for the boys. While they're not the be-all, end-all, they provide a good framework for those who have difficulty getting started. What policy is there regarding linking them? I'm assuming that it's best to link to MeritBadge.com's worksheets, but know that there are others out there. I'm willing to go through and put the links on each MB page, if you give me the direction (link to which of them??) and the go-ahead. EagleForumFan 16:21, December 7, 2007 (EST)
- EagleForumFan, I'm not ignoring you; really. I was in the hospital for several days a couple of weeks ago; and, I'm still trying to get caught up and back up to speed. I have been thinking about your questions/proposals and will reply... just need a little time to catch my breath, so to speak. ;-) --RWSmith (Sysop), 02:11, December 10, 2007 (EST)
- Hope you're feeling better! I'm in no hurry. Sorry to inundate you :-). EagleForumFan 01:32, December 11, 2007 (EST)
- FWIW, my preference for Scouting links goes like this:
- First, official BSA external links (or internal links to other MeritBadgeDotOrg pages);
- Second, when appropraite, MeritBadge.Net forums;
- Third, information, fact, or resouce pages at USScouts.org;
- Fourth, information, fact, or resouce pages at Wikipedia's Scouting portal.
Part B
I am trying to get a page set up that lists all of the merit badge worksheets from the previous site, but it is taking awhile simply because of the sheer number of merit badges, if you would like to help, I would tell you how. The page is titled "Merit Badge Worksheets" (who knew.) --Stranger 16:03, December 15, 2007 (EST)
P.S. Does anyone know how to set up a table in this wiki? It would make my job much easier.
- Then shall we just link to the page Stranger set up in the Help with these requirements section of each badge? EagleForumFan 18:25, December 16, 2007 (EST)
- Check these out:
- I linked up each one of the merit badge names with their respective requirements. This could lead to a combination of the merit badge page and the workbook page, since they are so closely related. Just a thought. --Stranger 14:27, December 22, 2007 (EST)
Google Gadgets
I run a website for scout packs, troops in my community and wrote a Google gadget to provide an online index of merit badges that bundles local merit badge advisors with links to relevant pages/graphics from this site. Could you refer me to someone in the MeritBadgeDotOrg community who can review this index and let me know if I'm using your material appropriately? -- awmagnuson 07:08, December 11, 2007 (EST)
- This is a followup -- I put up a short article on my user page to show what I'm talking about.
I'd be very grateful if someone could take a look. -- awmagnuson 09:01, December 13, 2007 (EST)

Threshold of fire: a novel of fifth century Rome
Academy Chicago Publishers, 1 sep. 1993 - 255 pagina's
It is 414 A.D. and the once-powerful Roman Empire is in its death throes -- split between East and West, menaced by barbarian hordes almost literally at its gates. The Emperor Honorious cowers in the marsh-bound city of Ravenna, where he has moved the government. There is the Prefect Hadrian, a powerful official and fanatical Christian convert; Marcus Anicius, the pagan aristocrat who is clinging to a dyping past, and the Jew Eliezar ben Elijah, hemmed in by his own traditions and burdened by his dark vision of the future.
