Communications committee
Wikimedia Foundation
Official website
The Communications committee (ComCom) is a Wikimedia Foundation staff-facilitated committee of community volunteers engaged in communications efforts either with Wikimedia projects or movement affiliates.
The aim of the committee is to support and collaborate on global communications efforts across the Wikimedia movement. This includes communication with the general public, the media, and the Wikimedia movement. It functions as a general discussion space for supporting, developing, and sharing information about communications efforts throughout the Wikimedia movement. The committee's primary method of communication is its private mailing list: wmfcc-llists.wikimedia.org
The committee is one of several committees within the Wikimedia Foundation, and is designated as a staff committee working with the Chief Communications Officer for the Wikimedia Foundation and the Communications Department. The primary contact for the committee within the department is Gregory Varnum (gvarnumwikimedia.org).

As a staff committee, the Communications committee primarily collaborates with members of that department on efforts related to Wikimedia movement communications. That engagement includes:
- Working together on inquires from the media related to movement communications.
- Discussing potential communications - such as press releases - from movement entities - such as affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
- Collaboration on movement-wide messaging and communications.
- Planning and discussion related to major movement events and activities - such as project birthdays, regional conferences, Wikimania, and Wikimedia Hackthon.
- Coordinating on local distribution of press releases.
- Requesting and coordinating responses to articles or other coverage by the press.
- Support of project and affiliate communications capacities - such as sharing ideas related to local communications activities, sharing best practices on use of social media, and seeking input on a new communications program.
- Advising the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Department on it's work, specifically related to:
- Development of capacity building resources, including the Communications Resource Center
- Outreach efforts to developing communities and new readers
- Efforts around social media and the Wikimedia Blog
- Messaging for the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia projects, and Wikimedia movement
- Development of the Wikimedia brands
Methods of communicating[edit]
Mailing list[edit]
- More information: mail:wmfcc-l
Currently, the committee primarily communicates via a private mailing list.
The Wikimedia Communications Committee list is for press matters and strategy around media queries, including embargoed press releases. Subscriptions are limited to Wikimedia Foundation staff, Wikimedia volunteers and chapter members who are currently working as media liaisons and advisors on issues related to communicating with the press and the general public about Wikimedia projects.
You can request to join by subscribing on the mailing list's main page.
Social media Facebook Group[edit]
The Wikimedia Foundation social media hub on Facebook is an online discussion group where members can discuss how the Wikimedia Foundation social media can best support the movement. All community members interested in social media and the movement are welcome. Please keep in mind the spirit of our friendly space guidelines, group members' privacy, and the ability for members to experiment and try out ideas without criticism.
Contacting the committee[edit]
Anyone may contact the committee with inquiries related to Wikimedia movement communications.
When to contact the committee[edit]
Specifically, people are encouraged to contact the committee with:
- Information on actions that may get attention from the press
- Notification of notable or problematic press coverage related to the Wikimedia movement or its projects
- Requests for assistance with communications efforts related to the Wikimedia movement or its projects
How to contact the committee[edit]
The best way to reach the committee is by sending an email to its private mailing list: wmfcc-llists.wikimedia.org (note that to deal with spam, posts by non-members to the list are moderated). Messages may also be left for the committee on the this page's talk page or the "Notifications" subpage. However, please note that these pages are not as actively monitored by committee members as the mailing list.
Press liaisons[edit]
Anyone with a press inquiry or needing assistance with press outreach may contact the members of the Communications Department working with the press at: presswikimedia.org
Whenever possible, the Communications Department works with local volunteers, movement affiliates, and the Communications Committee to connect the press with local people working on the Wikimedia projects.
A list of current local press contact information can be found on the Wikimedia Foundation press room page.
The committee has a private mailing list where media coverage and responses are discussed. Other resources available to the committee include:
- General communications resources at the Communications Resource Center
- The press & translation queues in OTRS
- The press release distribution and archive software on wikimedia.de
Press Clippings[edit]
The Communications Department collates press coverage of Wikimedia Foundation activities at the press clippings page.
Historically, the committee was authorized by a resolution of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees in January 2006, and its initial members were confirmed in February of that year. Much of the Wikimedia Foundation's communications work was partially, or completely, conducted by the committee. At its inception, the committee held IRC meetings; agendas are archived.
In January 2009, the committee became a staff committee, with much of the committee's work being delegated to the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications Department.
As of 2016, the committee advises the Communications Department and coordinates on communications efforts in the movement, including within the Wikimedia Foundation. The committee communicates primarily through the "ComCom" mailing list.
Original statement of scope[edit]
The original statement of scope and areas of responsibility was approved by the Board of Trustees in a May 2006 resolution.
- Coordinating communications with the press, including press releases, interviews, and inquiries.
- Supporting communication between the Wikimedia Foundation and project communities, particularly spokespersons within the Wikimedia Chapters.
- Organizing and coordinating publicity and outreach.
- Supporting and overseeing communication with the general public.
- Maintaining a Wikimedia style guide.
- Reporting on core Wikimedia statistics.
- Main page: Communications committee/Subcommittees
Previously, Communications subcommittees were formed around tasks and needs. This practice ended in 2009 as the role of the committee shifted from a working committee to a staff committee, with much of the work of the committee being delegated to the Communications Department.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel in 2013 boasted $3 billion in cyber-related exports, more than all other nations in the world combined outside of the United States.
Israeli experts in the field told the annual Herzliya Conference earlier this month that the Jewish state's cyber exports represent some 5 percent of the entire global market, and that the figure could easily reach 10 percent in the next five years.
Other figures of interest include the fact that 11 percent of all global cyber-related investments come to Israel, and that 14.5 percent of all cyber firms worldwide that received funding in 2013 were Israeli-owned.
Israel is clearly a cyber superpower, despite its minuscule size, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to strengthen Israel further on that front.
In 2011, Netanyahu established the National Cyber Bureau, a government body that reports directly to him, and that has been doing much in recent years to bolster Israeli hi-tech companies.
"We established the National Cyber Bureau for the purpose of transforming
the state of Israel into a cyber superpower," Netanyahu said following a briefing earlier this year. "I see [NCB] also as a huge economic force multiplier. There is tremendous
international interest in our abilities."
Netanyahu later commented that "we always knew that we have a land flowing with milk and cyber."

Girl in the Wind
Chapter 1
Cassie ran as fast as her long, skinny legs would carry her. The screen door banged shut behind her. A sound guaranteed to piss off her mother but she didn't care. She had to get away from her. She had to escape the cutting words that sliced into her as sharply as any knife, carving away at her heart until the only way she could stop the bleeding was to run to the big oak tree across the yard and climb high into its enveloping branches. Past the long abandoned robin's nest. Past the broken limb that snapped off in the thunder storm last year. Higher and higher she went until the branches thinned and she doubted the next one would hold even her slight weight.
She inhaled deeply, saying her personal version of a prayer, "Please God, don't let me blow away in the wind before I show her a thing or two!" and stretched her arms as high as she could, wrapped them around the tree trunk, and stepped out on a limb so thin it seemed barely strong enough to hold the trio of leaves dangling from its tip.
She raised her gaze to the sky and felt the sun on her face calming her. White clouds of summer drifted overhead in a sky so blue it made her want to cry. A gust of wind rocked her as the tree swayed. Cassie welcomed the feeling of vertigo that came with the thrill of fear that she might fall. That was why she was there after all. To face the fear. To prove she was more than what her mother claimed. Although she would never admit it, she was terrified of heights. Even more terrified her mother was right. She was clumsy. She was school smart and life stupid. She would never be very pretty. Not like her mother. Not like her sister. How many times did she have to listen to the same story? She got the message the first time she heard it.
They lived in the apartment house then. The one with two families and one bathroom on each floor. More than once she'd peed her pants waiting for someone to finally clear out of there. It was bad enough if they were just whizzing or pooping, but if someone was taking a bath it could take a very long time and it wasn't fair to get spanked or have your nose rubbed in wet pants if you tried and couldn't get in.
That's the place where they all got sick and the doctor had to come and give everyone but her father a shot of penicillin every day for a week. Cassie, who was four at the time, and her big sister, Sue, six-years old,were with Mom in the big bed. Their little brother, Billy, was in his crib pushed up against the wall. All of them were sweaty and coughing. No one was getting any sleep and Daddy had to bring them soup and pass out pills and change Billy's diapers. Every day the doctor would ask Cassie and Sue who they wanted to get a shot first. Neither little girl would answer. Cassie always wanted to tell him to give the shot to their mother first. She was the only one who didn't cry and maybe, just once, he'd get confused and forget about her. But she never got up the nerve to say anything. Some days she was first, some days Sue or Mom. Billy was always last everyone always got the shot
Finally they were all better. Her father was at work and her mother was brushing Sue's hair, getting her ready for school. Sue thought she was big because she was going to first grade and Cassie was still too little for Kindergarten. Every now and then, as her mother talked and brushed her hair, Sue would turn to Cassie and give her a look that seemed to be a mix of superiority and embarrassed pity.
"You have the most beautiful hair," Mom said. She brushed the long, naturally curly, locks at least five-hundred strokes every morning. "Strawberry blonde is such an unusual color. When you grow up you will be beautiful and have lots of boyfriends. You will go on lots of dates and break a lot of hearts."
"What about me? What color is mine?" Cassie asked. She had hair too, but Mom rarely brushed it. After all, she wasn't going anywhere but outside to play and she always came in a mess so why bother.
"You? Your hair is dirty blonde. Some people call it dishwater blonde because it reminds of them of the dingy water they pour down the sink after doing the supper dishes. It's not unusual at all. And your hair is super fine. It won't hold a curl like Sue's. You'll have to spend hours curling it or get a permanent. You won't be pretty like Sue but, if you spend a lot of time doing your hair and putting on the right makeup, you could turn out to be cute. "
"Will I have lots of dates?" Cassie asked.
"Not a lot," her mother answered, turning to scan her younger daughter from head to foot. "Some of the boys that Sue isn't interested in or has dated for a while and then jilted will probably ask you out. Maybe one of them will really like you."
"I hope not", Cassie said. "I don't want to go on dates anyway!"
But she did. Not then of course, but someday she would want someone to think she was pretty and take her for a ride in his car. Somebody who wouldn't care about the color of her hair. She secretly wondered if boys cared as much about hair as her mother seemed to. The ones she knew certainly didn't do anything with theirs.
"Oh look, the sun is coming out," Cassie's mother said. She stopped primping Sue's hair and crossed the kitchen to open the curtains over the sink. All morning it had been raining hard with occasional crashes of thunder and bursts of lightning. "It reminds me of the day Sue was born."
"Tell us," Sue said.
"April is a wonderful month to have a baby. Everything is so fresh and pretty in the Spring. However, it stormed all day and all night when I went to the hospital to have you. When I was in the delivery room the lights flickered out a few times and I was getting scared. Even the doctor said he hoped you would get here before the electricity failed for good."
"Did I?" Did I come before the lights went out?"
"Yes, you did," her mother assured her. "And just as the nurse was bringing you to me, the storm ended and the sun came out, filling the hospital room with light. It turned out to be a perfect Spring day after all. I had never known what it felt like to be so happy."
"Tell me about when I was born," Cassie said. "I'll be you were very happy that day too."
"No, I wasn't," her mother answered abruptly. "You weren't due for another three weeks and your Dad and I had planned to go out. Aunt Celia was coming to stay the night and watch Sue. It was the last time your father and I would have a chance to go have dinner in a restaurant and go dancing before you were born. "
"What happened?" Cassie asked. A chill ran up her spine as she waited for the answer. She knew that something had gone wrong and it was her fault.
"What happened is you!" her mother snapped. Instead of having a night out I was in pain in the hospital. No, I wasn't happy. I was mad. My last night out was spoiled. "
"I'm sorry," Cassie whispered, tears glistening in her big blue eyes.
If her mother heard, she didn't respond. She simply finished brushing Sue's hair, helped her put on her prettiest dress, and with Cassie following a few feet behind, walked her daughter to school. Later that afternoon, when her mother shooed her out of the house so she could have some peace and quiet, Cassie pushed a rickety ladder up against a tree, climbed up on one of the branches and faced the sting of her mother's rejection for first time.
Why did feel so much like falling?

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Samsung is teaming with Facebook's Oculus to bring virtual reality to its devices for the first time.
The accessory, known as Samsung Gear, will be exclusively compatible with Samsung's 005930, +0.43% new 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 4.
The South Korean electronics giant unveiled the device Wednesday at its Samsung Unpacked event in Berlin, a week ahead of Apple's hotly anticipated Sept. 9 iPhone event in Cupertino, Calif.
Shares of Apple AAPL, +1.12% fell 4.36% from all-time highs to $98.94 on Wednesday, erasing $26 billion of the company's market capitalization in one day.
Gear serves as an adapter, essentially turning the phablet into a virtual-reality 3D screen. Based on the Oculus Rift, the adapter represents a potential breakthrough for the mobile gaming market, transforming a smartphone into a hands-free virtual-reality "brain."
Samsung Gear VR hands-on: Note 4 goes 3D with Oculus http://t.co/O4r3IYlHl0 pic.twitter.com/C5EEttOirW— SlashGear (@slashgear) September 3, 2014
The Android phablet also features a fingerprint scanner and Super AMOLED display, similar to the Galaxy 5, which Samsung introduced earlier this year.
Analysts have questioned whether the 5.7-inch note will compete with the larger-screen iPhone 6, widely expected to have a 5.5-inch screen.
Samsung has long maintained a competitive edge in the larger-screen market. Its Galaxy 5 has a 5.1-inch screen, while the iPhone 5 has a 4-inch display.
Facebook FB, +1.16% bought Oculus for $2 billion in March.

Practice Manager
Are you a successful manager with a proven track record looking for an exciting new challenge? Then look no further!
Oasis has an exciting opportunity for a Practice Manager at our Practice in Gateshead. We are looking for someone with excellent managerial experience to lead an existing team.
This is a fixed term vacancy for 9 months, working 27 hours per week, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday 8am to 5.30pm.
You will be a great match for Oasis if you are a commercially minded individual looking to develop your career as a Practice Manager. You will be confident leading a team of between 10 to 25 people & manage day-to-day and financial running of the practice (including P&L) as if it were your own business.
You will need to understand how to generate income & control costs. You must be comfortable conversing with people from all walks of life, including dentists, patients and your practice team. Our Cardiff Cowbridge Road East practice is a busy mixed NHS and private practice, and while a clinical background with previous dental experience would be an advantage we also want to hear from successful managers from other industries.
This is a varied & interesting job in which you will need to balance maximising the income & profit of the practice through proactive business management techniques against the overall needs of the dentists to ensure they can put the patient first. You should be ready to challenge the status quo & look for improvement opportunities, control costs & set achievable but stretching targets for team members.
Practice management is a diverse job in which no two days are the same, but your responsibilities will include:
- Coaching, leading & developing a high performing practice team in a positive environment for both staff and patients;
- Planning income targets for the practice, then reviewing & analysing P&L to ensure you achieve or exceed these targets;
- Monitoring KPIs & support clinicians to achieve their targets;
- Proactively marketing your practice to drive patient numbers;
- Ensuring the practice meets CQC and legislative guidelines (as the CQC registered manager);

I just booked flights leaving Friday AM returning Monday in time to be back in the office before 10:00AM. This is the site of the annual Snowkite Solider event, which hasn't happened in a few years. I had a good time there in 2012, and I'm looking forward to retuning with better conditions along with the NW Kite crew. If anyone would like to join, I am thinking of renting a car and cabin at Soldier Mountain Ranch. Let me know if you're interested!

We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!
At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!

Tonkatsu or fried pork cutlet, Japanese style
Dinner on Wednesday - tonkatsu aka fried pork cutlet with brown tonkatsu sauce and shredded cabbage. Tonkatsu is a popular Western-style dish in Japan, and it's basically thinly sliced pork that's been dredged in flour, dipped into egg, breaded in panko breadcrumbs and then fried until crispy and golden brown. You can read all about this particular dish either here or here. I'll be definitely making this again, as I loved the super-crispy and almost crunchy coating achieved by the use of panko breadcrumbs as opposed to ordinary breadcrumbs.
(Tonkatsu ehk paneeritud sealiha Jaapani moodi)
Serves 4
ca 500 g pork fillet
all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-3 eggs
panko breadcrumbs (I used shop-bought panko breadcrumbs*)
For the tonkatsu sauce:
soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
freshly ground black pepper.
Cut the pork filet into thin slices, about 5 mm thick.
Take three bowls, filling one with flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), one with whisked egg and one with Panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge the pork slices first in flour, then dip them into egg and finally into breadcrumbs. Make sure that the pork slices are evenly coated.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a heavey frying pan over moderate heat. Fry the breaded pork slices until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Place onto a kitchen paper to drain any excess fat and keep warm.
To make a cheat's tonkatsu sauce, mix ketchup with some soy and Worcestershire sauce and season to taste with black pepper. Drizzle over pork slices.
Traditionally this is served with shredded white cabbage (you may want to crisp it up by soaking the cabbage in cold water; drain thoroughly).
* Available in Piprapood, Tallinn.

Tonkatsu oli meie esimene Tokyo õhtusöök. Sinu oma näeb väga autentne välja, peab ütlema. Oh, kuidas mulle kogu see tseremoonia meeldis, kausikesed erinevate asjadega, seesamiseemnete segamine kastmesse... Nostalgia tuleb peale :).

It looks delicious, Pille! Elias loves "katsu". And thank you for the tips on where to find special ingredients. Already bought the panko in Piprapood :-) So I finally also found excellent tofu in Tallinn.It's time to bring (back) some Japanese flavours at our table.

You won't believe this but just an hour ago I was planning to eat in a Japanese restaurant tomorrow for my birthday. But since I found this recipe I got this idea of just cook at home which is Japanese inspired. I think that is better that eating outside.

Juc - tänud!
Elizabeth - well, so pleased to realise I've provided Elias' favourite recipe here :D
Deena - it can be difficult to source some of the Japanese ingredients (depends where you live, of course), but cooking the dishes isn't actually so complicated!

She Knew How to Love, Cousin Edna Weispfenning
Mueller, Thomas G. "She Knew How to Love: Cousin Edna Weispfenning." 14 January 2005.
It was 22 below this morning; wind chill was at 40-50 below. I was getting ready to drive to Fredonia, N.D. to attend Edna Weispfenning's funeral. Edna was my dad's first cousin. She was born on the Weispfenning farm three miles north of Fredonia in a clay brick house built by her grandparents in 1888 on their homestead. Edna was the first born to Christ and Louisa Rath Weispfenning on October 13,1912. She died on January 10, 2005 at the age of 92 at the Wishek Nursing Home in Wishek, N. D., where she resided since 1995. She was born mentally challenged and had very limited vision; in her last few years she was totally blind. I only met her once, back around 1964 when I was a teenager.
Edna lived on the farm where she was born and was cared for by her parents until her father's death in 1962. Her mother stayed on the farm until 1969 when they moved to Fredonia, N.D. Here they had indoor plumbing and running water in the house and only lived a few blocks from church so they could walk to church. In 1995, they both moved into the nursing home in Wishek, N. D and in 1996 Louisa died at the age of 101.
Edna's immediate family tells stories of her growing up on the farm and being part of the family. Edna made many contributions to her family. As a child she was able to do some chores like carrying all the water into the house. I have personal experience in regard to carrying water from the pump by the windmill where the stock watered. When I lived with my Aunt Hulda Ehmann on their farm southeast of Gackle, N.D., I also carried all the water to the house. There were only three of us at Aunt Hulda's; at the Weispfenning farm Edna carried water for the family of eight. On wash day it was a lot of work. Edna's Grandmother Susanna Schneider Weispfenning recited on a regular basis in German, "Work makes your life sweeter". Edna was also charged with the responsibility of feeding the pigs when they had them and carrying out all the gray water from the kitchen. Back in those days it was called the slop pail. Edna's sister Alma added, "She wasn't able to do everything, she just couldn't master milking the cows, but Dad and Mom found things for her to do".
Alma tells me that as a child Edna started to keep all the church Sunday bulletins in a drawer. She kept them straight, week by week and if asked for a certain one was able to retrieve the right one. She wasn't able to read them because of her eyesight but memorized the content such as baptisms, births, deaths and weddings from the oral church service and counted back that many weeks and came up with the right bulletin. Alma also said their mother worked with Edna until she was able from memory to recite The Ten Commandments and The Lord's Prayer.
When Edna was in her early thirties, she slipped and fell and broke her wrist. She came into the house and went to bed crying. Louisa checked on her and asked her what was wrong. They took her to Kulm and had her wrist set and bound with a piece of metal so she couldn't use the wrist until it healed. Alma said that she never complained, even when she broke her wrist.
They had an Edison phonograph and Edna kept the cylinder records in order so she could find what she wanted to listen to. Here again she didn't pick out the records by sight, but felt inside the record feeling the grooves and by that knew which record it was. Her sister, Frieda Weispfenning Buerkle, told me this story two years ago and also said that she and their sister Alma, when they were young, mixed the records up as a trick. Edna by touch knew that someone messed with them. Frieda said, "Did we get it from Dad". Alma also told me this same story last night on the phone.
During threshing, after Edna's sister Alma married and had babies, Edna helped care for the children when the women were busy with food preparation. All of Edna's nieces and nephews had a strong bond with Edna. I have also heard stories that came from her nephew Barry Weispfenning that he spent many hours playing with Edna when he was a child. Over the past few years I have heard many, many fond stories of Edna and how she found her way into their hearts.
Today sitting in the Martin Luther Lutheran Church during Edna's funeral, I felt a lot of different emotions. This church was built in 1926 and the surrounding country churches over the years merged into this church. Many of my dead ancestors have been served well by this congregation over the years. Baptisms, confirmations, weddings, Sunday services and a lot of funerals have been conducted on behalf of many of them. I connected with all of this today, felt this sense of history and felt joy, but the task at hand was to have a proper funeral and burial for my first cousin once removed and I also felt sorrow. Over the arch of the Alter these words are written in German, "All that has Breath, Praise the Lord".
Edna was also a great singer; she could sing many songs for you. The last few years when her relatives would visit her, they would always have her sing her favorite song in German, "Gott Ist Die Liebe" which translates in English to "God is Love". Today we were treated to this very song sung in German from the balcony of the church by a quartet of local people, Ray and Bernitta Krueger, Mildred Zenker and Arven Janke. They also sang another song, "Life's Railway to Heaven". Their voices filled the church from the balcony and it was very powerful, like a song from Heaven.
The pastor, Rev. Brandon Woodruff, besides having a nice sermon, sang "Amazing Grace", and provided a beautiful service.
One of the other things that Edna contributed to was her mother longevity. Louisa lived until she was 101 years old and I feel that part of her longevity comes from her desire to care for her mentally challenged daughter. Louisa's long life was a gift to all her descendants. Having Louisa around until 1996 gave her grandchildren a stronger memory of her. For that, I feel Edna was a contributing factor.
Edna's life story is just about ever day life, growing up on a farm in a much simpler time, but her story needs to be told. Not just to preserve her memory but for a lot of other reasons too. What's coming through to me is the fact that she never complained, she was satisfied with what God gave her. I wish I could say that for myself. In today's world we all want more, want it now and complain when we don't get it.
The other thing that is coming through to me is that she was loved by all the members of her family, her mother, father, siblings, nieces and nephews and she knew how to love them back.
Cousin Tom
I asked my second cousin Jeff Weispfenning, Edna's nephew, if he would contribute something to this story. His reply blew me away; his story is a reflection of who Edna really was and he relates this delightful story. Jeff and his brother Barry, Ted and Mavis's sons, grew up on this same farm with Edna as a playmate and caregiver.
Jeff's Story
Barry and I were very fortunate in that we had a chance to live next door to our grandparents as we were growing up on the farm. Grandma would cover up for us, no matter what the latest mischief we had gotten into. Sometimes we got to spend the whole day or spend a night if we were formally being babysat. Although Edna was almost forty years older than me, Edna was a great playmate. Some of my fondest memories are of playing paper dolls with Edna. We would build churches of people from old Sears Roebuck or Montgomery Ward catalogs. We'd take the index pages, which I remember to be yellow or green, and tear out a sheet, fold it in half vertically and then fold it again to make a pew. Then we'd go to the clothing section and cut out people in their fine clothes and fold them in the middle to sit in the pews as members of the congregation. We built some fine congregations in those days. And despite all of my formal scissors training in first grade and practice in the next two grades with a scissors, Edna was a much better cutter of paper dolls. Much as I tried, I was never as good at cutting as she was. The images of the great congregations that we had built on Grandma's kitchen floor rolled through my mind last Friday at Edna's funeral.
Jeff Weispfenning
Well cousins and relatives, what can I say, here in North Dakota where our ancestors taught us how to believe in God, work hard, respect our elders, respect other people that were less fortunate than us, and make paper churches with pews and people on Grandma's kitchen floor.
Cousin Tom
Louisa's 100th Birthday Party! Here she is with her children: Ray, Ted, Freida, Alma, and Edna

Minor in Writing
The Writing minor equips a person who wants a strong background in writing for education or other professions where writing is an integral component (law, business, and communications, for example).
The Writing minor consists of 18 credits of coursework in the English and Communication Departments. The courses enhance a student's understanding of the various rhetorical modes and prepares him or her to work comfortably with the types of writing required in today's working world. Because writing is a core requirement in most of the professions, it is imperative that one's rhetorical skills meet the required standards required in the age of information. The program focuses on the various rhetorical modes (approaches and devices employed in accordance with the audience and situation), from the journalistic to the literary to the creative. This minor is an excellent addition to any major program of study. Business and professional leaders indicate that good communication is the basis for promotion in many cases. By completing the writing minor, an individual gains experience with many different kinds of writing that will be a strong asset in any vocation.

Marian Price, former IRA hunger strikers and Old Bailey Bomber, has been charged in connection to the murder of two British soldiers, Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey, at the Massereene barracks, County Antrim in 2009. She is charged with providing property, for the purposes of terrorism, to the gang who carried out the killings.
The two young soldiers were shot outside the barracks as they made their routine, weekly, trip to pick up pizza for their colleagues. They were shot just hours before they left Northern Ireland to serve in Afghanistan. They were already wearing their desert fatigues.
Price allegedly gave the gang a cell phone. The 57-year-old is currently in custody. She was expected in court, in Belfast, on Friday. However this has been delayed as her defense team wish to cross examine three witnesses, including two senior detectives. A hearing is expected next month.

Her lawyer, Peter Corrigan, said Price was questioned 18 months ago with relation to the two soldiers murders. He added that the will mount a bid to have the case against her thrown out due to an abuse of the process, according to Guardian reports.
Corrigan said "The defendant was originally questioned in relation to these matters in November 2009. That's 18 months ago."
"No new evidence has been adduced since that date…Why has it taken 18 months to make a decision to charge Marian McGlinchey with these offences?"
District Judge Fiona Bagnall ordered that a hearing be held on August 5. Price is expected to appear via video-link.
Also know as Marian McGlinchy, Price was jailed in 1973, along with her sister Dolours and, current, Sinn Fein minister Gerry Kelly for their part in the IRA bombing of the Old Bailey. The Price sisters went on hunger strike, wishing to be transferred to an Irish prison. They were force fed.
Price's early release license was revoked because she appeared beside a masked member of the Real IRA at a commemoration in Derry this Easter.
Two men, including republican Colin Duffy, will stand trial for the soldier's murders later this year.

September 2013 Trail Head - EditorialPosted in Features on July 25, 2013
"And bad mistakes, I've made a few. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through." That's from the soundtrack to the movie, Revenge of the Nerds. It's a catchy tune. In fact, I think Queen did a cover of it. Anyway, it's a fitting analogy for your average off-roader in general and Jeep enthusiast in particular. I can't for the life of me count how many bad mistakes I've made either in the garage or out on the trail. From harebrained buildup plans to injuring oneself to busting parts on the trail, off-road Jeeping is a learning experience. And like any 3-year-old toddler, we Jeepers learn best from our own mistakes and emerge stronger because of them. But that's where the sermon ends. Instead of pontificating upon the point further, I'll share some of my favorite foul-ups.
Water 'Fridge
One of my new-to-off-roading coworker friends was with us at TDS Desert Safari several years ago. We were winding down the night and after pouring an 18-pack into his 12-pack frame, he asked me for some water before hitting the sack. Instead of getting up from my chair, I lazily pointed to the ARB 'Fridge Freezer in the back of my flattie and thought no more of it till the next morning. Apparently he'd never heard of such a device and proceeded to do me the kindness of filling my "empty cooler" with ice water. The next morning I found my trail grub floating in a soup of melted ice, dissolved cardboard, congealed bacon fat, pieces of sandwich bread and lettuce, and other untold nastiness. I just laughed and cleaned it up as he snoozed away, probably with thick black Sharpie eyebrows permanently drawn on his face. To this day, he suspects I was mad about it, but I never was. In fact, it struck me that as drunk as he was, replenishing my cooler ice from his own supply just showed what a nice guy he was at his core…and how waterproof and durable an ARB 'Fridge Freezer is!
Burn Notice
In the summer of 2003, I was welding a tranny tunnel back in the floor of my flattie the day before I was supposed to drive it on our "Jp Mayhem" event from Las Vegas to Sturgis. In a huge rush, I didn't remove the years of accumulated paint. As I made small stitch welds from underneath, I periodically popped up, tossed my welding helmet, and blew out the burning layers of (probably) lead-based paint. With no thought of laying a wet towel on the interior, I continued like this until, completely fatigued, I caught the ragged, rusty, sharp bottom of my DJ's door with the side of my head—hard. I can't remember how many staples they used to cinch the gash closed, but I did get to remove them myself a week later in a hotel room in Moab, Utah, while my wife and buddies watched.
Forest, Forest Bump
Have you ever planned something for the longest time, only to have it fall apart in the moment that should have been your greatest triumph? I drove my '85 Ramcharger for over a decade with axlewrap-inducing factory blocks under a set of aftermarket rear lift springs. After much lusting, planning, and saving, I finally had custom long-travel packs built that omitted the factory block without losing any lift. You know, the kind of long-travel springs that require longer shackles to keep the leafs from binding and bending? The kind of longer shackles I didn't have the foresight to install? And rather than gingerly flexing and testing my new suspension to make sure everything was okay, I took off all Rod Hall prerunner-style down a mogul-strewn wash. Sure enough, I bent the main and second springs of my fancy, expensive springs. The good news was that the spring company was happy to make me new replacements…at full price.
And that's the way it's gone and will continue to go. I'm not one of those guys who refuses to admit my mistakes. I make a lot of 'em. Sometimes they're embarrassing, sometimes they're funny, and sometimes they're pathetic. But each time I embrace 'em. You just gotta learn from them and then move on—because to me, the only inexcusable mistake you can make is to not learn from your mistakes.

Little Boots Donates Songs to Power Tour
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: at 3.15pm on Wednesday 27 October at The Base Youth Centre, Carlton Street, Scunthorpe, DN15 6TX. Young musicians from the Goole band Rhodes and Morecambe band Cry Baby Aeroplanes.
Would-be young rock musicians will have the chance to take to the centre stage in the first ever Power Tour organised by Music4U - the Humber Region Youth Music Action Zone - and perform cover versions of two tracks donated to this project by the electro-pop singer Little Boots.
Music4U has collaborated with two other Youth Music Action Zones - CoMusica based in Gateshead and More Music based in Morecambe, to organise a mini tour for budding rock musicians. The tour, which is part of national Youth Music Week (27 Oct - 3 Nov) starts in the Humber Region on Wednesday 27 October at The Base Youth Centre, Carlton Street, Scunthorpe. Running from 7.00pm - 9.00pm, entry is 50p on the door.
Three bands and a solo act will perform at The Base: the rock band 'Rhodes' from Goole with Scunthorpe's own rock singer Foz as support, both representing the Humber Region, along with 'Cry Baby Aeroplanes' from Morecambe and The BrU - a 4 piece acoustic/alternative band with vocals, ukulele, cahon and guitarist from Gateshead. Rhodes was selected for the tour from the regional 'rock night' showcase platforms held earlier in the year. Many of the musicians who took part in these showcases have taken part in rock and band development projects in the past run by Music4U. Each band has been invited to perform a unique cover version of 'New in Town' or 'Remedy' by Little Boots, who is one of Youth Music's Ambassadors.
Rhodes will then have the opportunity to be guest band at The Devonshire Hall in Morecombe on Thursday 28 October and The Sage, Gateshead on Saturday 30 October as part of the Power Tour.
Delma Tomlin, Music4U's Director commented: "This is a really exciting project for our Zone. It is fantastic that young people have been given the opportunity to perform in their region but also to tour with their bands to other regions and experience what it is like to be a band 'on the road!' We are really looking forward to welcoming bands from our partner organisations in Morecambe and Gateshead and welcome the opportunity to give young people this platform."
In addition to the performances, at each venue on this tour, the audience will be able to watch a series of short films from the rehearsals and workshops which all the bands have taken part in - creating a real sense of sharing experiences. Plus each Power Tour gig will be filmed in October and these films will be available to watch on the Music4U website (www.ncem.co.uk/music4u) and on the Music4U myspace (www.myspace.com/music4uhumber) soon after the tour.
The Power Tour is part of the imove Cultural Olympiad programme 'New Worlds: The Many Routes to Yorkshire'. It is anticipated that the project will be extended to include a wider national group of Youth Music Action Zones in 2011 with a view to young people involved in the tour being able to perform on a national platform in the run-up to the Olympics in 2012.

Editors Notes:
Youth Music is a UK-wide charity that funds and facilitates music-making for young people up to the age of 18, particularly those living in areas of social and economic need. By 2010, Youth Music aims to have reached 3 million children and young people in a UK-wide strategy to support youth music-making. More info is available at http://www.youthmusic.org.uk/. Since the creation of the first Youth Music Action Zone in 2000, the concept has been rolled out over 24 regions across England and Wales, some of which are now in their sixth year of operation. With a remit to support music-making activities for some of the UK's most disadvantaged young people, Youth Music Action Zones have gone on to reach over 230,000 children and young people, encouraging their talents, building their confidence and transforming the landscape of musical opportunity throughout the UK. The music-making supported is of the widest variety, from hip-hop and dj-ing to classical and jazz.
Youth Music Week 2010 - Wednesday 27 October to Wednesday 3 November - throughout the country.
Now in its fifth year, Youth Music Week is geared towards putting young people's music making on the map. Through a wide range of music workshops, performances and fundraising events, it offers an annual platform for young people to showcase their music. The positive and transformative effect that music can have on young peoples' lives is well documented but there are still millions of young people who aren't getting the chance to access these opportunities. Visit: http://www.youthmusic.org.uk/musicispower/Support-Us.html for information on how to support Youth Music Week and the Youth Music initiatives to develop all stages of young peoples' musical development and their all important first break.
