Reply to: | What do you think of these combos? by Millie |
Albert Hudson - I love Hudson in a GP kind of way. I think Albert is really nice and unexpected paired with Hudson.
Edmund Tempest - lovely combo, I really like Tempest as a middle name
Elijah Quinn - I like Quinn, I would rather see Elias than Elijah
Harrison Dane - not really a fan of either name but I like the flow of the combo. It has a nice sound
Tennyson Theodore - I love, love, love Tennyson! Tennyson Theodore might be a bit too much but I like the idea.
Henrietta Skye - lovely! Henrietta should be used more. I prefer Skye spelt Sky
Matilda Alice - sweet name but Alice Matilda sounds better
Roberta Brooke - I feel like I shouldn't like it but I think I do. I like the way it sounds.
Summer Daisy - it's too much, too precious, too sweet. I actually consider Summer a strong name. Daisy ruins it. Two word names paired together is more often than not a bad idea.
Violet Indiana - I like Indiana but Violet Indiana... not so much
Winter Ivy - love Winter (but for a boy) but again, word name paired with word name is not really my style

AMEN Jenny! In this day and age of changes in publishing, one thing is constant...Kathy Patrick's loyal support of writers and helping to connect them with readers. She is a gift to us all.
I have never posted to an author's blog before. I just woke up this morning to finish the last few pages of your book (yes I fall asleep reading even when I do not want to). I did not want it to end. I am a librarian and library director in North Hampton, New Hampshire, and have not read a book I loved this much in a very long time. You are right about the time and setting being magical. I loved this book for so many reasons. I woke up telling myself I ought to be opening my scriptures and not a novel, but when I finished the last few pages I felt I had been reading the Good Word. When Samuel says he had been too busy being about the Lord's business to teach his children to swim and then realized that watching them laugh and grow was doing the Lord's business, I knew that not all scripture was in the Bible. I loved this book on so many levels. It seems like one of the rare books where you know the author gave birth to it, and did not just have an intellectually self-motivating mental fart to produce it. I hope you are not offended if I make a comparison to To Kill a Mockingbird because I feel this book should share a shelf with Harper Lee's "baby" as well. I am more than hoping you will write another book about the Moses Clan, or something of equal worth to you that will inspire and uplift us all. So little is out there these days of this quality which is why I have to make a nasty confession that I do not read as much as I used to. I am of the age where when I take my precious time to sit down and read I want to be either entertained or inspired, and you hit both nails on the head. Thank you for writing such a wonderful book. I'm going to share it with everyone I possibly can.Looked up your blog because I so enjoy your book. Looks like your editor gave instructions--connect with your readers on social media. Also looks like you're about as stubborn as Swan and can't be forced.
Anyway, just wanted to say that although I'm sure we disagree on most everything you're not supposed to discuss at dinner,(the 1950s was the dullest, most mediocre, most stultifying decade of the century in my opinion, and I lived through most of them) we do share interests in both gardening and rescue animals. And I love your writing, so fresh and full of energy. Engaging characters a reader must either love or hate passionately. Terrifying and hilarious episodes. Thank you for writing so well, giving us this literary treat.I loved The Homecoming of Samuel Lake. As several reviewers on Amazon.com will attest, it is not a simple story or an "easy read." You wrote a fascinating book that will, I predict, become an exceptional film. The love between the characters, and oh the richness of your characters, was the best part of the book for me. I look forward to more of your books! (I also have a paragraph or two about your book in my blog this week {http://mlisreader.wordpress.com/}).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your book! I am an original Pulpwood Queen and agree with you, Kathy is amazing. If you ever consider taking on a menthe, please consider me. Ask Kathy if you need a reference. My name is Mandy (Arnold) Cauley and I'm stuck with my writing. I really need a mentor to read a bit of what I have and say, "This one, finish this one." If that is even possible. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would consider helping me. I live in Ruston, LA...not far from Jefferson.
ReplyDeletePlease please please write something else soon! I read a lot of books, and have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read.I loved the character development, the style of writing, and even the parts that were so hard to read. I love that you told what happened, but did not become too graphic. I feel like these are people that I know. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI loved your book, The Homecoming of Samuel Lake and got online to see if you were speaking at any writing conferences, but can't seem to find any info on you of a more recent nature. Last blog was 2012. I know, ouch! I started one in 2015 and I'm just getting back to it. I have an interest in writingaboutancestors.blogspot.com Please let me know if you are speaking at any upcoming writing conferences. Thanks so much! (I hope your silence on this blog is because you're writing another novel!)

Centaurea (/ˌsɛntɔːˈriːə/)[1] is a genus of between 350 and 600 species of herbaceous thistle-like flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Members of the genus are found only north of the equator, mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere; the Middle East and surrounding regions are particularly species-rich. Common names for this genus are centaury, centory, starthistles, knapweeds, centaureas and the more ambiguous "bluets"; a vernacular name used for these plants in parts of England is "loggerheads" (common knapweed). The Plectocephalus group – possibly a distinct genus – is known as basketflowers. "Cornflowers" is used for a few species, but that term more often specifically means C. cyanus (sometimes also called "basket flower"). The common name "centaury" is sometimes used, although this also refers to the unrelated plant genus Centaurium.[2]
Description and ecology[edit]
Knapweeds are robust weedy plants. Their leaves, spiny in some species, are usually deeply divided into elongated lobes at least in the plants' lower part, becoming entire towards the top. The "flowers" (actually pseudanthium inflorescences) are diverse in colour, ranging from intense blues, reds and yellows to any mixture of these and lighter shades towards white. Often, the disk flowers are much darker or lighter than the ray flowers, which also differ in morphology and are sterile. Each pseudanthium sits atop a cup- or basket-like cluster of scaly bracts, hence the name "basketflowers". Many species, in particular those inhabiting more arid regions, have a long and strong taproot.
Certain knapweeds have a tendency to dominate large stretches of landscape together with a few other plants, typically one or two grasses and as many other large herbs. The common knapweed (C. nigra) for example is plentiful in the mesotrophic grasslands of England and nearby regions. It is most prominently found in pastures or meadows dominated by cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata) as well as either of crested dog's-tail (Cynosurus cristatus) and false oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius). It is also often found in mesotrophic grassland on rendzinas and similar calcareous soils in association with glaucous sedge (Carex flacca), sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina), and either tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum) and rough hawkbit (Leontodon hispidus), or upright brome (Bromus erectus). In these grasslands, greater knapweed (C. scabiosa) is found much more rarely by comparison, often in association with red fescue (Festuca rubra) in addition to cock's-foot and false oat-grass.
Due to their habit of dominating ecosystems under good conditions, many Centaurea species can become invasive weeds in regions where they are not native. In parts of North America, diffuse knapweed (C. diffusa), spotted knapweed (C. maculosa) and yellow starthistle (C. solstitialis) cause severe problems in agriculture due to their uncontrolled spread. The seeds are typically transported by human traffic, in particular the tires of all-terrain vehicles. The two knapweeds are harmful mainly because they are strongly allelopathic, producing powerful toxins in their roots that stunt the growth of plants around them not adapted to this.[3] Yellow starthistle, meanwhile, is inedible to most livestock due to its spines and apparently outright poisonous to horses and other equines. However, efficient methods of biological control by insect pests of these weeds have been developed; the knapweeds can also exploited to their detriment by targeted grazing. Controlled burning may also be used, though the timing is important to avoid the plants having seeded already, and neither allowing sufficient time for them to regrow from the rootstock.[4]
Yet other species of Centaurea – mostly ones that occur between Italy and the Caucasus – are endemics of a single island or valley, and some of these are endangered. The Akamas Centaurea (Centaurea akamantis) of Cyprus is almost extinct, while the western Caucasus endemics C. leptophylla and C. straminicephala are at least very rare and C. hedgei and C. pecho from the same region are certainly not abundant either. The last four species would be adversely affected by the proposed Yusufeli Dam, which might actually destroy enough habitat to push the two rarer ones over the brink of extinction.
Centaurea are copious nectar producers, especially on high-lime soils. The high nectar yield of the genus makes it very attractive to insects such as butterflies – including the endangered Karner blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) which visits introduced spotted knapweed – and day-flying moths – typically Zygaenidae, such as Zygaena loti or the six-spot burnet (Z. filipendulae). The larvae of some other Lepidoptera species use Centaurea species as food plants; see List of Lepidoptera that feed on Centaurea. Several of these are used in biological control of invasive knapweeds and starthistles.
Larvae of several true weevils (Curculionidae) of the subfamily Lixinae also feed on Centaurea. Some genera – such as Larinus whose larval food is flowerheads – have many species especially adapted to particular knapweeds or starthistle and are used in biological control too. These include the yellow starthistle flower weevil (L. curtus) for yellow starthistle, lesser knapweed flower weevil (L. minutus) for diffuse knapweed and blunt knapweed flower weevil (L. obtusus) for spotted knapweed. Broad-nosed seedhead weevil (Bangasternus fausti) larvae eat diffuse, spotted and squarrose knapweed (C. virgata ssp. squarrosa), while those of the yellow starthistle bud weevil (B. orientalis) do not seem to live on anything other than yellow starthistle and occasionally purple starthistle (C. calcitrapa). But perhaps most efficient in destroying developing yellow starthistle seedheads is the larva of the yellow starthistle hairy weevil (Eustenopus villosus). Knapweed root weevil (Cyphocleonus achates) larvae bore into the roots of spotted and to a lesser extentely diffuse knapweed, sometimes killing off the entire plant.
Also used in biological control are Tephritidae (peacock flies) whose larvae feed on Centaurea. Knapweed peacock fly (Chaetorellia acrolophi) larvae eat spotted knapweed and some other species. The yellow starthistle peacock fly (C. australis) has an initial generation each year which often uses cornflower (C. cyanus) as larval food; later generations switch to yellow starthistle. The flies are generally considered less efficient in destroying the growing seedheads than the weevils, but may be superior under certain conditions; employing flies and weevils in combination is expensive and does not noticeably increase their effect.
Use by humans[edit]
Though the overall effect of the entire genus on humans is probably detrimental, this is merely due to the considerable damage done by a handful of species when these are allowed to spread uncontrolled. On a per-species basis, most centaureas are inoffensive and at least pleasant-looking plants. As noted above, many species of Centaurea are popular food for insects that may otherwise attack crops; particular in small-scale farming it is often advisable to allow non-invasive species (like cornflower (C. cyanus) in Europe) to grow around fields. In such a beetle bank, they will draw pests away from crops, and at the same time by their robust structure provide shelter for invertebrate and small vertebrate predators that will keep overall pest populations low.[5]
The abundant nectar produced by Centaurea flowers attracts many pollinators. This is another reason for the success of the highly invasive species, but as it holds true for the entire genus it is not decisive. Yet it can be exploited to the farmer's advantage in combination with biological control of these weeds: In particular the yellow starthistle (C. solstitialis) as well as spotted knapweed (C. maculosa) are major honey plants for beekeepers. Monofloral honey from these plants is light and slightly tangy, and one of the finest honeys produced in the United States – due to its better availability, it is even fraudulently relabeled and sold as the scarce and expensive sourwood honey of the Appalachian Mountains. Placing beehives near stands of Centaurea will cause increased pollination. As most seedheads fail however when biocontrol pests have established themselves, the plants will bloom ever more abundantly in an attempt to replace the destroyed seedheads, to the point where they exhaust their resources in providing food for the pests (seeds), bees (pollen) and humans (honey). Output of allelopathic compounds is also liable to be reduced under such conditions – the plant has to compromise between allocating energy to reproduction and defense. This renders the weeds more likely to be suppressed by native vegetation or crops in the following years, especially if properly timed controlled burning[4] and/or targeted grazing by suitable livestock are also employed. While yellow starthistle and perhaps other species are toxic to equines, some other livestock may eat the non-spiny knapweeds with relish. In Europe, common knapweed (C. nigra) and globe knapweed (C. macrocephala) are locally important pollen sources for honeybees in mid-late summer.
8-Hydroxyquinoline has been identified as a main allelopathic compound produced by diffuse knapweed (C. diffusa); native North American plants are typically sensitive to it, while those of Eastern Europe and Asia Minor usually have coevolved with the knapweed and are little harmed if at all, aided by native microorganisms that break down or even feed on the abundantly secreted compound.[3] Thus, 8-hydroxyquinoline is potentially useful to control American plants that have become invasive weeds in the diffuse knapweed's native range.
Arctiin, found in C. imperialis, has shown anticancer activity in laboratory studies. The roots of the long-lost C. foliosa, an endemic of Hatay Province (Turkey), are used in folk medicine, and other species are presumably too. A South Italian variety[verification needed] of the purple starthistle (C. calcitrapa) is traditionally consumed by ethnic Albanians (Arbëreshë people) in the Vulture area (southern Italy); e.g. in the Arbëreshë communities in Lucania the young whorls of C. calcitrapa are boiled and fried in mixtures with other weedy non-cultivated greens. According to research by the Michael Heinrich group at the Centre for Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy (School of Pharmacy, University of London) "the antioxidant activity [...] of the young whorls of Centaurea calcitrapa, both in the DPPH and in the lipid peroxidation inhibition assays, [is] very interesting and [the] species should be investigated phytochemically and biochemically focusing on these properties". Extracts from C. calcitrapa were furthermore found to have significant xanthine oxidase (XO)-inhibiting activity.[6]
Spotted knapweed as well as other species are rich in cnicin, a bitter compound found mainly in the leaves and often used to flavor the digestif amaro. In western Crete, Greece a local variety[verification needed] of C. calcitrapa called gourounaki (γουρουνάκι "little pig") also has its leaves eaten boiled by the locals. In the same island an endemic local species, C. idaea called katsoula (κατσούλα), tsita (τσίτα) or aspragatha (ασπραγκάθα), has its leaves eaten boiled by the locals too.[7]
Cornflower blue
Some species are cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens. As regards other aspects of popular culture, cornflower (C. cyanus) is the floral emblem of Östergötland province (Sweden) – where is it called blåklint, literally "blue mountain" – and of Päijänne Tavastia region in Finland, where it is known as ruiskaunokki ("rye-beaks") or ruiskukka ("rye-flower"). It is also the national flower of Estonia where its local name rukkilill means "rye-lily", Belarus where it is called vałoška (Belarusian: валошка), and one of those of Germany where it is called Kornblume ("cornflower"). The origin of the name "caltrop" for the ancient low-tech area denial weapon is probably in some way connected with C. calcitrapa and its spiny seeds. This plant is attested to by the colloquial name "caltrop" at a time when the weapons were still called by their Roman name tribulus.[8] Lastly, the color cornflower blue is named after C. cyanus.
Systematics and taxonomy[edit]
As namesake member of the subtribe Centaureinae of tribe Cynareae, the knapweeds are probably most closely related to genera such as Carthamus (distaff thistles), Cnicus (blessed thistle), Crupina (crupinas) or Notobasis (Syrian thistle), and somewhat less closely to most other thistles. The monotypic Cnicus seems in fact to properly belong in Centaurea.[9]
Research in the late 20th century shows that Centaurea as traditionally defined is polyphyletic. A number of 19th- and 20th-century efforts to reorganize the genus were not successful, and it is not yet clear what the consequences of the recent research will be for classification of this genus and other related genera. The type species C. centaurium stands somewhat apart from the main lineage of knapweeds and thus the taxonomic consequences of a rearrangement might be severe, with hundreds of species needing to be moved to new genera. It has thus been proposed to change the type species to one of the main lineage to avoid this problem. What seems certain however is that the basketflowers – presently treated as a section Plectocephalus – will be reinstated as a distinct genus in the near future. The rock-centauries (Cheirolophus), formerly usually included in Centaurea, are now already treated as separate genus.[2]

The Climate Challenge welcomes two new schools this month with Auckland Girls Grammar and Rangi Ruru Intermediate in Christhurch joining the challenge. There are some wonderful examples of kids getting involved and it's great to see people sponsoring them but we need more! This kind of dedication needs support and recognition.
We also need more schools on board. I understand that teachers and students alike have very busy schedules, with many topics to cover and extra curriculum activities/sports etc, but a shift in consciousness is still necessary, and its important to highlight it and promote it where it is happening.
That's why I like the Climate Challenge project. The kids I meet are tomorrow's MP's, business leaders, farmers, councilors etc, an understanding of our planet's limitations and solutions to how we can live sustainably needs to become second nature to the way we live, the way we do business, the way we grow food and produce materials and the way we raise our children. Lets never forget that those shiny eyed youngsters actually depend on us making necessary climate legislation a reality, because if we don't they will be living in a much more hostile environment with huge economic and ecological pressures.
I am certain that we have the capability to avert the worst of the consequences of climate change, these teachers and pupils i am meeting definitely help help me realise that. Here are some positive comments from Gulf Harbour school-
Teachers thoughts: I am so stoked that my class took this Climate Challenge and ran with it! It was the perfect follow up for all the learning we had done in class on environmentalists and environmental issues. With the passion we developed for the environment through our learning, I believe the Climate Challenge was a really powerful and authentic way to take action against climate change. It was easy to set up and get going, the enthusiasm was strong throughout and the class are now planning Gulf Harbour School Going Green - a week long event full of green activities and education for the rest of the kids here at Gulf Harbour School! I couldn't have imagined this is where our learning would've taken us -The Climate Challenge really inspired us to do bigger things - our key learning being that its just so easy to help! Thanks heaps Greenpeace for this great opportunity! Jessica Mills Gulf Harbour School
Here's what the kids had to say...
Hey Greenpeace Just wanting to say I really like the Climate Challenge I thought it was so great. I learnt to save a lot of power. It is a really cool way to save the planet. This has been such a great opportunity for our school. Finding sponsors was the fun bit because everyone on my street wanted to donate, they were so supportive. This Climate Challenge has been a great way to help stop Global Warming . I raised $51 dollars and for my points I got 840 points! Cool aye! - Yours Sincerely Tiria Graver
Hey Greenpeace I Think the Climate Challenge was a great opportunity for my school & I to raise money and I think it's so great what you're doing to stop Global Warming. I really liked the challenges but I couldn't do all of them because I live in Orewa and I go to school in Gulf Harbour but I take the bus that's ok. I raised $77.30c and have 895 points I hope our classes money helps you and your crew do what's best for the environment. Yours Sincerely Casey Powell (Gulf Harbour School)
Hey Greenpeace I think that the Greenpeace climate challenge is a fun & exiting way to learn about Global Warming & green activities. I like the stuff that you guys do, saving the whales, and so on.I think more people should do the climate challenge because they can learn about what they could do to save the environment & save electricity etc. You should definitely keep doing what you do.

She related the incident, in which the lad had shyly praised both leaver and Burns as seeming to him like big brothers.
But I don't think she's likely to get much fun out of leaver to-night.
Guess what a conviction like that must mean to a man of leaver's early eminence in the world of distinguished operative surgery?
"And I appreciate it more than any words can express," leaver said gratefully.
His sea-tanned face showed a deeper shade under leaver's praise.
It was more eloquent of leaver's weakness than all his difficult words.
O ye nasty sneakin' snarin' ticket-o'-leaver, go back to the place from whance you came!
Forget that you are nursing Dr. leaver, try to think of him as a friend.
During dinner a telephone call summoned leaver to a consultation.
As she went away he dropped down upon the grass near leaver.
Old English læfan "to let remain; remain; have left; bequeath," from Proto-Germanic *laibijan (cf. Old Frisian leva "to leave," Old Saxon farlebid "left over"), causative of *liban "remain," (cf. Old English belifan, German bleiben, Gothic bileiban "to remain"), from root *laf- "remnant, what remains," from PIE *leip- "to stick, adhere;" also "fat."
The Germanic root has only the sense "remain, continue," which also is in Greek lipares "persevering, importunate." But this usually is regarded as a development from the primary PIE sense of "adhere, be sticky" (cf. Lithuanian lipti, Old Church Slavonic lipet "to adhere," Greek lipos "grease," Sanskrit rip-/lip- "to smear, adhere to." Seemingly contradictory meaning of "depart" (early 13c.) comes from notion of "to leave behind" (as in to leave the earth "to die;" to leave the field "retreat").
"permission," Old English leafe "leave, permission, license," dative and accusative of leaf "permission," from West Germanic *lauba (cf. Old Norse leyfi "permission," Old Saxon orlof, Old Frisian orlof, German Urlaub "leave of absence"), from PIE *leubh- "to care, desire, love, approve" (see love (n.)). Cognate with Old English lief "dear," the original idea being "approval resulting from pleasure." Cf. love, believe. In military sense, it is attested from 1771.

Sunday Brunch: Eggy Bread Recipe
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
It may be hard for some people to fathom, but there are some of us out there who simply do not like sweet things for brunch. And for those of us who need salt first thing in the morning, a big plate of eggy bread and some bacon can be just the trick. Eggy bread is a simple savory French toast that can be served with bacon, fresh veggies or any other savory topping or side you can think of. (I recommend ketchup.)

- Yield:4
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:20 minutes
- 8 pieces of bread
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- bacon (optional)
- sliced scallions (optional)
- chopped tomatoes (optional)
- Ketchup (optional)
Cut crusts off of pieces of bread. Beat eggs and combine with milk in a dish large enough to hold all the slices of bread side by side. Season with salt and pepper. Place sliced bread in egg mixture and turn to coat; let sit for at least 1 minute.
Heat frying pan or griddle over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow to melt, then add egg-soaked bread in an even layer. You may need to cook the bread in more than one batch depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 1 minute, or until golden brown; then flip and cook other side and cook until done. Serve with any savory garnish you can think of and a big pot of tea.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles
This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
The purpose of this supplementary manual is to create guidelines for editing Islam-related articles to conform to a neutral encyclopedic style, as well as to make articles easy to read by following a consistent format. The following rules do not claim to be the last word. One way is often as good as another, but if everyone does it the same way, Wikipedia will be easier to read and use, not to mention easier to write and edit. This manual is open to all proposals, discussion, and editing.
There is considerable disagreement among the editors of Islam-related articles about which sources are reliable. The important thing to remember is that all sources and articles must conform to Wikipedia policies such as WP:NOR, WP:V. and WP:NPOV.
Manual of Style (MoS) | |||||||
By topic area
General form of articles[edit]
Islam-related articles should generally satisfy the following:
- In general, the first sentence of each article should have the article title in bold and then define the article title.[1]
- Each article should proceed with general remarks near the start and specific ones later. In lengthy articles, separate pages for detailed discussions of a topic should be used with a main article link (or links).
- At the end of each article, there should be the sections 'See also' (for closely related articles), 'References' (for reliability of article content), and 'External links' (for links to relevant web pages), in that order.
- Each article should be in at least one Islam category.
Grammatical standardization[edit]
Arabic transliteration[edit]
As a general rule, diacritical marks over and under the letters should not be used in article titles or text (only in the etymology section and sometimes the first sentence of the lead section). If a non-standard form of transliteration is to be used, it must be the common transcription, based on references or self-identification. For example Mecca rather than Makkah, mosque rather than masjid etc. Otherwise, a basic transcription should be used. The characters representing the ayin (ع) and the hamza (ء) are not omitted (except when at the start of a word) in the basic form, represented both by the straight apostrophe (').
Words of Arabic origin should be written out in lower case, except at the beginning of a sentence, and italicized, except when the word has passed into common English vocabulary (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Foreign terms). For example, fiqh, kharaj, and wudu should usually be italicized; jihad and hadith should not. Proper names are exempt from these rules: they should always be capitalized but never italicized.
Articles should include the original Arabic and its strict transliteration on the first line. If you do not know the Arabic, place {{Arabic}} at the top of the talk page to mark the article for attention from someone who does.
Arabic terms should be translated into standard English wherever possible without compromising the meaning of the text. For example, "Allah" should be translated as "God", but a literal translation of "Deen" as "path" would obscure the special meaning of this term as used in Islam (although "way of life" might be acceptable).
Various templates useful when editing Islam-related articles can be found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles/Templates; for other templates please see Wikipedia:Template messages.
Islamic honorifics[edit]
In keeping with the neutral nature of Wikipedia, Islamic honorifics should generally be omitted from articles (whether Arabic or English), except where they are part of quotations.
Allah has many honorifics, the most common one being
- SWT or the fuller Subhanahu wa ta'ala, meaning "praised and exalted is He (Allah)" — recommended action is to remove.
"Allah" should be replaced with its translation, "God", unless used as part of an English-language quote. Also, the first occurrence of "God" in the article should be something to the effect of the following: [[God in Islam|God]].
When referencing a deity by a personal pronoun (e.g. "he" or "his"), the pronoun should not be capitalized except as demanded by standard grammar (i.e. in the beginning of a sentence, but not in the middle of one). Defer to the Manual of Style's section on capital letters.
- Holy Quran (or Holy Qur'an, Holy Koran, etc.) — recommended action is to NPOV to "Quran". Reason: Calling a book "Holy" is making a value judgment that is inappropriate to Wikipedia. An exception is where referring to a translation which has a value judgement in its title.
There are several honorifics for Muhammad which should generally not be used in articles. The Muhammad in Islam article discusses these honorifics in more detail, the most common ones being:
- The Prophet or (The) Holy Prophet (including with a lowercase 'h') in place of, or preceding, "Muhammad"; or just Prophet preceding "Muhammad" — recommended action is to simplify and NPOV to just "Muhammad" except when it is the first reference in an article, or the first reference in the lead, in which case it may be rendered as "the Islamic prophet, Muhammad" if necessary.
- PBUH, or the fuller "peace be upon him", after Muhammad or other Islamic prophets — recommended action is to remove.
- SAW, SAWW, saws or the fuller version Sallallaho Alaihi Wa alihi Wasallam, variants of PBUH, sometimes used after "Muhammad" — recommended action is to remove.
Angels and prophets[edit]
An angel or a prophet has the honorific:
- AS or the fuller Alai-hi-as-salam, for example, Jesus (AS) – recommended action is to remove.
Capitalization of "Companions of Muhammad" when referring to those who knew Muhammad (the Sahaba) — corrective action is to write in lowercase in keeping with Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters.
There are also other honorifics for companions all of which can be abbreviated to:
- RA or the fuller versions Radiya-allahu ta'ala (an-hu/an-ha/an-hum/an-huma) – for a sahabi, a sahabiyyah, more than two sahaba and exactly two sahaba, respectively – recommended action is to remove.
Other persons[edit]
Honorifics may also include:
- RU or the fuller version Rahmatullah alaih - for highly recognized Islamic scholars - recommended action is to remove.
Words to watch[edit]
The use of the word terrorism can be contentious; see words that may introduce bias. Its use should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Due to the huge number of Islam articles present, as well as to address the problem of 'dumping' new Islam articles in Category:Islam (and similarly for other subcategories), appropriate placement of articles in categories is required. This has been done to some extent, but quite often new editors are unaware of more technical categories (e.g. Category:Tafsir). Of course an article may be (and usually is) placed in more than one category, but to avoid cluttering categories the number of categories any given article is placed into should be kept to a minimum.
Islam category[edit]
With respect to the 'dumping' problem mentioned above, it is requested that editors check Category:Islam frequently, as this is the place where many new Islam articles are placed, but where the articles could (sometimes clearly) be better placed in at least one subcategory of Category:Islam. Currently, there are a handful of articles on the Islam category page.
Criteria that should be satisfied for inclusion of an Islam-related article in the Islam category are:
- Articles that are clearly representative of a major and well known aspect of Islam, such as Allah, Quran and Muhammad.
- Articles that don't satisfy the above criterion and cannot at present be satisfactorily placed in a subcategory of the Islam category (sort of like a 'holding area').
Divisions of Islam[edit]
There is a Category:Islamic branches for placing articles on various sects in Islam.
Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi and Ahmadiyya Islam[edit]
These four sects have their own categories, in fact they are subcategories of Category:Islamic branches, which is a subcategory of Category:Islam.
There are many Islam articles that are about Muslims. These articles should be placed in the appropriate category such as Category:Muslims or a subcategory thereof such as, Category:Caliphs, Category:Imams and Category:Muslims by nationality. Only the most notable or famous Muslims should be placed in Category:Muslims.
There is currently one stub category with 6 subcategories:
- Category:Islam stubs – add {{Islam-stub}} near the end of an article to add it to this category.
- Category:Islamic biography stubs – add {{Islam-bio-stub}} near the end of an article to add it to this subcategory.
- Category:Islamic studies book stubs –
- Category:Mosque stubs –
- Category:Islamic organization stubs
- Category:Quran stubs
- Category:Islam by country stubs
Articles on hadith should make clear the reliability of the hadith. The four general types of hadith reliability are:
As with any good encyclopedia, reliable sources should be given in each article. References to sources are of two types: those within the main text of an article (for example, a Quranic quote) and those at the end of an article. To maintain some type of standard in citing reliable sources, the following are suggestions towards this end.
Articles lacking references[edit]
Articles which have no references at the end of an article should have the {{Unreferenced}} tag at the top of the article.
Even with references at the end, certain statements in the main text of the article may still be unsubstantiated, in which case the {{Citation needed}} tag should be placed immediately after the claim.
References within main text[edit]
Apart from the parenthetical referencing convention of writing the author's name and year of publication of source in brackets after the end of a sentence or paragraph, more specific citations for WikiProject Islam include the following:
Quran translations[edit]
There is no general consensus on which translation is to be used for Islam articles at Wikipedia. However, in any given article, any translation(s) from the Quran should quote the same translation source (e.g. Yusuf Ali) in that article (but not necessarily this same source in another article), unless comparing different translations or giving evidence for the meaning of a certain verse.
It is recommended that the template {{Cite Quran}}
be used to quote verses from the Quran which will provide an inline-superscripted link to the USC-MSA online translations of Yusuf Ali, Pickthall and Shakir. Other translators can also be referenced using the template.
Quran and Hadith[edit]
The Quran and the Hadith are considered to be primary sources, as defined in WP:PRIMARY. Therefore they should not be quoted to make an argument or imply a particular interpretation unless one can also cite a reliable secondary source that supports that usage. Primary sources may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the source but without further, specialized knowledge. But it's a good idea to quote the Quran and Hadith to explain a topic, if they are cited in reliable secondary sources. For articles and sections where only Quran and Hadith are cited without secondary sources, use the templates {{Primary sources}} or {{Religious text primary}}, or inline tag {{primary source-inline}}.
Religious sources[edit]
In Islamic branches with organized academies or recognized theological experts in religious doctrine and scholarship, the proceedings of official religious bodies and the journals or publications of recognized and well-regarded religious academies and experts can be considered reliable sources for religious doctrine and views where such views represent significant viewpoints on an article subject. Ordination alone does not generally ensure religious expertise or reliability. Absent evidence of stature or a reputation for expertise in a leading, important religious denomination or community, the view of an individual minister or theologian is ordinarily not reliable for representing religious views.
Secondary sources are not necessarily from recent years – or even centuries. The sacred or original text(s) of the religion will always be primary sources, but any other acceptable source may be a secondary source in some articles. For example, the works of Al-Ghazali are secondary sources for an Asharite perspective on many topics, but are primary sources for the Al-Ghazali article.
References at end of article[edit]
References at the end include books, journals and many other types of sources. The citation templates for these are suggested for use.
See-also Talk:Muhammad/images

File::Remove - Remove files and directories
use File::Remove 'remove'; # removes (without recursion) several files remove( '*.c', '*.pl' ); # removes (with recursion) several directories remove( \1, qw{directory1 directory2} ); # removes (with recursion) several files and directories remove( \1, qw{file1 file2 directory1 *~} ); # trashes (with support for undeleting later) several files trash( '*~' );
File::Remove::remove removes files and directories. It acts like /bin/rm, for the most part. Although unlink
can be given a list of files, it will not remove directories; this module remedies that. It also accepts wildcards, * and ?, as arguments for filenames.
File::Remove::trash accepts the same arguments as remove, with the addition of an optional, infrequently used "other platforms" hashref.
Removes files and directories. Directories are removed recursively like in rm -rf if the first argument is a reference to a scalar that evaluates to true. If the first arguemnt is a reference to a scalar then it is used as the value of the recursive flag. By default it's false so only pass \1 to it.
In list context it returns a list of files/directories removed, in scalar context it returns the number of files/directories removed. The list/number should match what was passed in if everything went well.
Just calls remove. It's there for people who get tired of typing remove.
The clear
function is a version of remove
designed for use in test scripts. It takes a list of paths that it will both initially delete during the current test run, and then further flag for deletion at END-time as a convenience for the next test run.
Removes files and directories, with support for undeleting later. Accepts an optional "other platforms" hashref, passing the remaining arguments to remove.
Requires Win32::FileOp.
Installation not actually enforced on Win32 yet, since Win32::FileOp has badly failing dependencies at time of writing.
Requires Mac::Glue.
The first argument to trash() must be a hashref with two keys, 'rmdir' and 'unlink', each referencing a coderef. The coderefs will be called with the filenames that are to be deleted.

The man who carried out the Tucson shooting rampage that killed six people and wounded former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has been returned to the federal prison in Missouri where he has been treated for mental illness for about 18 months.
A judge sentenced Jared Lee Loughner to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, for the January 2011 shootings that wounded 13 at a Giffords meet-and-greet event outside a grocery store.
Loughner pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges.
Loughner was taken from Tucson on Tuesday to the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo, the U.S. Marshals Service says.
The judge who sentenced Loughner recommended that he remain at the Missouri prison indefinitely, but it's up to federal prison officials where he will ultimately be incarcerated.

I'm sure at some point there will be another God of War game for PS4 but they just released Ascension a few months back and I'm sure there are more that they are working on to repeat that series right now. They should just give it a rest for a little bit and wait for it to get some type of want from the consumer from some time without it.

I think Redemption would a stupid name for a GOW game, since Kratos got his redemption in GOW3.
06-23-2013 #5Flaw3d GeniusGuest
I hope Sony put GOW to bed for a good few years as the game has become tired. Would love to see Santa Monica do a survival horror.

For everyone not wanting another GoW i got bad news for you.
Sony has 30 games in development with only 12 being new IPs. So that is 18 old franchises coming back to PS4.
We know of
Still 16 more titles so you can most likely count on seeing a PS4 GoW and Uncharted.
06-23-2013 #13
Pretty much how I feel about yet another Uncharted, let the series go out with a high rather than run it into the ground.

I think all us of would want to see how freakin awesome a GOW title would look like on PS4.
06-24-2013 #18
A PS4 God of War is coming and possibly a Vita God of War. The formula is still working and SM knows not to fix what's not broken. As long as God of War is quality and sells well, they'll continue to make them.
They do need to tweak the formula a bit. Add something new to it but at the same time make it a God of War game. The formula of square, triangle, block, dodge is getting old and stale.Last edited by The Black Wolf; 06-24-2013 at 12:55.

I personally thought GOW 3 was a great way to round off the series, from what I've heard Ascension is more of the same fun game play but it's just not as interesting as the other titles.
I've seen quite a few of these now:
Jak 4 - http://i.imgur.com/moLu8CX.jpg
Gears of War Redux - http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/...x1-610x309.jpg
They look like they're all done by the same guy.

I was kinda wondering just where the hell they'd go with uc4 if it came out. I love the uncharted games but I think it's time to so a new ip or like u said a series of the last of us. I don't want the uncharted series to be one of those where they just make too many to have a "guaranteed" good seller

never really cared for the series. I actually enjoyed Dante's Inferno and Heavenly Sword a whole hell of a lot more. Dantes inferno had a great story to it, and Nariko was hot and i have a thing for redheads. If anything should come back, i really believe that a Heavenly Sword installment should be it. Because shes hot, and a redhead. pretty much thats all you need for me to buy a game. hot readhead. im in.

David Beckham is supposedly going to have a role in the London Games Opening Ceremonies on Friday, even though he was left off the British men's soccer team roster and he turned down the opportunity to carry the Olympic torch.
In the meantime, the soccer star can be seen photobombing in London malls.
Although it's difficult to call it photobombing when fans are so welcoming and effervescent to see him.
Beckham made 60 fans' day at the Adidas UK photo both in Westfield Stratford City near the Olympic Village on Monday. He surprised fans and athletes during their photo sessions before a Twitter Q&A session.
As always, Beckham made women blush (or scream). This time, a young boy is seen crying. He makes lots and lots of people excited.

buying art = fun. bringing art home and trying to figure out where on your walls to put more art = sometimes not so fun. i've been totally inspired by these sneak peek homes to reexamine the art on my own walls. i love the displays that combine art with objects. and the thematic displays like nicolette's cloud wall (below) definitely resonate with me. i'm feeling inspired to dig through my closet, pull out some unframed art and get hanging! –amy a.

I really love the panoramic group displays!
oh my gosh, I am smitten over this! I just finished my gallery wall, but might do a little switch-a-roo after these inspirations!
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I have begun collecting art and vintage photographs but haven't had to courage to display them yet. I think it really has to be done right in order to look good.
Thanks for this inspiration! -
great inspiration! i am arranging a few gallery walls of my own at the moment. can't get enough of them, just lovely.
SO INSPIRING. I have been collecting some vintage pieces and can't wait to actually be able to hang them! LOVE the silhouette within a silhouette!
That sky/cloud collage is amazing! I'm in love with it!
This is the perfect excuse to buy more things for my walls- love them all :)
I'm loving all the photo groupings. We're doing sdomething similar in our library and our dining room, but ours aren't finished yet. And the cloud wall is awesome!
Best sneak peek ever!
thank you so much for posting these! i'm dying to do a gallery wall and this was much needed inspiration!
i love that first one!
Wonderful inspiration! I'm currently collecting artwork for a gallery wall… I'm going to have to refer back to this round-up!
I have been half finished with my stairway gallery for almost a year. Thanks for the motivation to finish!
I LOVE Nicolette's cloud wall. I saw it a while back and wanted to steal her idea, but I never did. No wall space left for it now though.
love this post! question for you, one one wall I have a gallery of empty vintage frames, is it too much to do the next wall over (with a hallway in between) gallery style artwork?
I love gallery walls! I have started 2 and they keep on growing!
Oh, the cloud wall project! I have a similar project, but with little oil painted canvas. For inspiration, I was taking photographs of skies since some months… I even doubt if I prefer the photograph wall or the oil painting one :P
Thank you so much for posting this! I really needed some inspiration for a photo wall in our home.
I love the stairway galleries and would love to hang a large textile/artwork in my stairway. Does anyone have any advice on how to hang it without the use of scaffolding (what we had to use to paint the darn thing)
Oh, the room with the guitar under the gallery… I want to live there! I had to cringe at the room with the misspelled pillow quote, though, those sorts of things always get my OCD going. (It should say "lets" and not "let's")
Awesome collection! I really love the panoramic photos. Now if I only had the courage to attempt to do this!
Again, thank you for such an inspiring post! I just decided to start collecting prints because it is actually really affordable & thanks to Etsy, you can get some really limited editions of very unique ideas.
such great inspiration!
The first one makes me so happy.
As the daughter of a picture framer, who was sent to framing school myself, I throughly enjoyed this! I used to lay our photo walls for clients before, helping them to pick out framing for walls of ancestral portraits.
I just changed our ancestor wall out to fit more portraits of our children. I changed them all into sepia to go with the rest of the ancestors on the wall. Now I want a new ancestor wall, though! I'm loving the current photos, though.
I do have to wonder, though–is that a silver crown sitting on the porcelain throne? There really isn't anywhere to put it when you go in there except for onyour own head–funny!
Its a wonderful idea and i really love it..thank you so much for posting it..hope to see more!
Being the owner of a custom frame shop, your assemblage of tastefully presented pieces brings a tear to my eye. Excellent ideas.
Love. The ones on the door are cool, but they would flap in the breeze every time the door was opened or closed. Not sure about that one, but all of the others are sublime.
In honor of this post, might I be so bold to suggest a post on historic prints? It is great affordable art for those who want to create walls like these! Louis Prang would cry a tear.
Wow, what a great post, there are some terrific ideas in here.
Oh, thank you for this peek! I was starting to think I was the only one who totally covered my walls with art, photos, this & that. I am feeling so chic right now. Wonderful. Thanks
These walls are super inspiring and want to make me do more to my own gallery walls! My favorite wall is the one with the long rectangular photos of people/teams.
Wow! What great ideas of all kinds of different wall galleries, from rustic to modern, from very elegant to simple. Each of them is an art of it's own. My favorite one is the very first one. I for sure got a lot of inspiration out of this post.
Please, please keep adding these wonderful "best of" galleries. They are fantastic!
Loving these. I've been slowly adding "favorites" on Flickr, but this takes a lot of the work out of it. My goal is to finally have a gallery wall in my room by the end of the month. I figure that new things can get added on – that's sort of the point to me, creating and recreating balance.
I've taken inspiration from gallery walls over the years and finally got mine up. It's continued to evolve since then, adding frames and pictures as I acquire them.
Amazing Clusers!! I love the the profile pictures over the bed is my favorite.
This is a very different idea, and a grand departure from the idea of a focal point. It seems you are more going for overall texture than trying to draw the eye to any one piece. Thank you for the photo essay!
finally I know what to do with all my wonderful photos!
nice collection

Tax Evasion and Trust
Tax evasion has been a huge problem in Russia. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union there has been a steady decline in the share of Gross Domestic Product collected in revenue by the State at all levels, although in the last couple of years the problem has improved somewhat. The standard view of tax compliance in tax theory is that taxes are a "burden" or windfall harm, and that individuals pay only because they are forced to, i.e., that they believe that if they did not , they would be liable to prosecution by the state. On this view, it is essential that the probability of being discovered for tax evasion, and the size of the penalty if caught and convicted are sufficiently large to deter evasion. Once this view is accepted, the chief problem in normative taxation theory is to devise taxes which minimize the "excess burden" of a tax, ie, how to minimize the total burden of taxation. One problem with the standard view is that for some taxes such as income taxes, it is hard to believe that the probability of being caught for evasion is very large. Another problem with the model is that it makes a very odd prediction-namely that an increase in the tax rate t actually leads to less tax evasion. In this paper I take a "public choice" approach to the problem of tax evasion. Moreover, I assume that people will be more willing to pay their taxes when they trust the government more. Thus, we would expect that tax evasion would be lower, ceteris paribus, the more responsive governments are to their citizens' wishes. Finally, since the level of tax evasion depends on the trust of citizens that other citizens pay their taxes, it follows that there are multiple equilibria, which can be broadly classified into two: one in which, broadly speaking, people assume that others are paying and so most of them also pay, and the other in which the opposite is true. I propose four problems which are fundamental to the "bad" equilibrium and which should be addressed in order to improve the situation: (1) As long as people do not believe the government is responsive to their wishes, even if it may he honest, they will attempt to evade their taxes. (2) As long as people do not trust the government they will be unwilling to pay their taxes. Consequently one, obviously very difficult, line of reform is to take measures to increase trust in their government. (3) As long as people believe the tax code is fair, they will be more willing to pay their taxes. (4) As long as people assume other people are trying to evade taxes, they will attempt to evade themselves. This is in line with the solution to crime which has been widely adopted in a number of U.S. cities and is known as the "Fixing Broken Windows" approach. On this last line of thought, disorder and crime are contagious. The program to combat crime focused on minor rather than major problems and in some ways reversed the emphasis on "marginal deterrence" for bigger offenses which is characteristic of the individualistic approach. The application of the approach to tax evasion is straightforward: it suggests de-emphasizing going after big evaders such as Gazprom and raising the level of enforcement on small evaders instead. However, the points raised in #1, 2 and #3 above have to be kept in mind: the system must be seen to be fair, and the government has to be seen to be democratic and responsive to the people's wishes.

White adds jammed wrist to the list of injuriesBy EDDIE PELLS , Associated Press
Feb. 4, 2014 7:04 AM ET
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Shaun White saw the glassy sheen of the super-steep takeoff ramp and knew something bad was coming. FILE - In this Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014 file photo, Shaun White of the United States takes a jump during a Snowboard Slopestyle training session at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia, prior to the 2014 Winter Olympics.

White said Wednesday, Feb. 5, that he is pulling out of the Olympic slopestyle contest to focus solely on winning a third straight gold medal on the halfpipe. (AP Photo/Andy Wong, File)
He fell and jammed his left wrist — adding another nagging injury to his long list of bumps and bruises while also entering his name on the growing list of athletes falling victim to a treacherous Olympic slopestyle course. "A little intimidating," he called the course after Tuesday's training. "It's been a challenge." Through two days of practice runs in the Russian mountains above Sochi, the course at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park has already taken out one of the favorites, Torstein Horgmo of Norway, who broke a collarbone while riding through the rails Monday. On Tuesday, shortly after White's minor injury, Marika Enne of Finland fell hard and hit her head at the end of her run. She was taken off the course on a stretcher with a concussion. Slopestyle qualifying begins Thursday — the day before the opening ceremony — with White trying to win the first of two gold medals at this year's Olympics. His attempt at a third straight title on the halfpipe is set for next Tuesday. First, though, he must emerge unscathed from a slopestyle course that is taking its toll on some of the world's best riders. "It's frustrating to see it," White said. "It puts a damper on the whole mood and it's kind of like you're getting ready to do a big trick and you see something like that. Intimidating. Unfortunate. I'm hoping the builders can make some changes and the course has a little more of a friendly vibe. But I can't change the course. Just doing the best I can." Rider after rider said the same thing. As Tuesday's training session was winding down, a large cluster of snowboarders and their coaches met at the base for a discussion of what changes need to be made before Thursday. "When we get to a course, nothing's perfect," American snowboarder Chas Guldemond said. "It's roughed in. We test the course. We come in and tweak it. We have rider meetings. We give builders feedback and make tweaks to the course to make it safer and more usable for the riders." No matter what fixes they make, there's no taking the danger completely out of slopestyle. Horgmo's injury came on a rail at the top of the course — a feature that has potential for injury no matter how the course is built. Canada's Mark McMorris, one of the favorites in this event, knows all about that. He is 10 days removed from breaking a rib after slamming into a rail on his final run at the Winter X Games. He said he's medically clear but still sore. He skipped training Monday and made his first runs Tuesday. Asked about the course, he said the take-off ramps are built "kind of obnoxiously tall." One theory is they were overbuilt to compensate for melting, which could come if temperatures remain above freezing as they have this week. But dangerous? "I don't think it's dangerous," McMorris said. "Snowboarding's dangerous. But crossing the street is dangerous, too." White claimed his wrist injury shouldn't slow him down over the upcoming six-day span that will help determine his legacy; on the halfpipe, he is hoping to become the first American male athlete to win an event at the Winter Games three straight times. The shiner he took while training in Copper Mountain last week is almost completely cleared up — just a small trace of red underneath the right eye. The ankle he sprained last month in Breckenridge? No problem. The right shoulder he jammed in a nasty fall in Mammoth Lakes at an Olympic qualifier? "The shoulder still needs to cooperate a little more. It's a little rough. I've just got to warm it up real good in the morning," he said. Not that anybody expects to reach the Olympics without a few aches and pains. Question is, will they leave with even more? "The course is a little intense," said American rider Jamie Anderson, the favorite for the women's gold medal. "Everyone's making the best of it. I'm having a questionable time getting used to it. But I'm just being slow, patient, taking them one jump at a time. At the end of the day, we're just snowboarding." © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Contemporary Lithuanian Children's Book Illustration
The exhibition Illustrarium: Contemporary Lithuanian Children's Book Illustration presents 32 most outstanding illustrators of the recent decade and their works displaying a colourful panorama of children's book illustrations of various genres and styles.
It introduces works by three generations of Lithuanian illustrators. Artists of the senior generation, who started their creative activities in the 8th-9th decade of the 20th century during the Soviet period in Lithuania, have been actively creating in this field until the present days. Many of them are bright personalities acknowledged on the international stage whose works have been appreciated and awarded on numerous occasions; these include Stasys Eidrigevičius, Kęstutis Kasparavičius, Rimvydas Kepežinskas, Mikalojus Povilas Vilutis, Leonardas Gutauskas, Irena Daukšaitė-Guobienė and others.
A vast majority of Lithuanian children's book illustrators are artists of the middle generation whose skills developed under the influence of the rich national graphic art and book art traditions. Having lived through the period of fundamental changes in the country, they are unique in their search for an individual style. The most outstanding illustrators of this generation are: Rimantas Rolia, Eglė Gelažiūtė-Petrauskienė, Rolandas Rimkūnas, Eglė Kuckaitė, Agnė Indrė Každailytė (Agnes Indre) and others. Quite a few of them have also tried the art of writing and become both authors and illustrators of children's books, namely Paulius Juodišius, Marius Jonutis, Laisvydė Šalčiūtė and others.
The exhibition also introduces works by the artists of the young generation. These artists represent the new Lithuanian culture in which a shift is taking place towards the dominance of the visual. Their creative activity has already left a bright trace on Lithuanian book art and illustrations; these include Sigutė Chlebinskaitė, Rasa Jonikaitė (Joni), Lina Dūdaitė, Jurga Šarmavičiūtė, Ieva Juknytė, Vaiva Lingytė and others.
The exhibition invites to take a deeper look at contemporary Lithuanian children's books, discover their form and illustration trends and get to know the rich Lithuanian children's literature and its remarkable artists.

A young child fell from the stands of Steinecker Stadium at Perrysburg Junior High School, where an all-star football game was played Friday evening, authorities said
The child, whose name and condition were not released, was taken by ambulance to Toledo Children's Hospital.
Spectators were in the stands for the annual Northwest Ohio Regional All-Star Football game, featuring top high school football players.
"Certainly we want all of our facilities to be places where people can come and enjoy themselves," Perrysburg Superintendent Tom Hosler said. "It's an unfortunate situation any time there's an accident.''
School officials expect to learn details of the incident from authorities.

#18069 closed defect (bug) (invalid)
Preview fails / admin bar missing on multisite installs
Reported by: | multimule | Owned by: | |
Milestone: | Priority: | normal | |
Severity: | critical | Version: | 3.2 |
Component: | Multisite | Keywords: | |
Focuses: | Cc: |
Given a multisite install at example.org one may create one blog per sub-domain. E.g.
- foo.example.org
- bar.example.org
- whatever.example.org
Now there's the option to map additional domains to that blog (One may configure foo.com as primary domain to reach the blog at foo.example.org).
Now the backend is still located at the original domain (http://foo.example.org/wp-admin/), but when the user _previews_ a post the following domain is called: http://foo.com/?p=123&preview=true
BUT this fails with a 404 error! (as the user is logged in to foo.example.org, but not to foo.org)
It'd be good to have authentication work for mapped domains too, as that would apparently solve the problem.
Of course one may switch even the backend to the mapped domain, but then users/admins of the multisite install would have to log into each and every blog separately when switching between them - effectively destroying one of the main attractive features of a multisite install (see also: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/17272/remote-login-with-multisite-domain-mapping-still-forcing-users-to-login-to-all)

Story: | Do I need to say anything here? |
Style: | The third CKC challenge was to use vellum. I did not put vellum in my kit, because I rarely use it. But when I needed a buffer between my title word beautiful and the pattern behind it – vellum came to my rescue – beautifully, you might say! |
Stash: | I was near the end of using up my August counterfeit kit, so I started the page by cutting an irregular edge on the postage stamp paper. I just let things evolve from there. The other patterned card is from a stationery set by Gallison that I sliced in two. It had the right tones of pink and peach to work with my page. I only used chipboard, buttons and a single word sticker (yes, a sticker and not a fancy-schmancy electronically made die-cut – I am so utterly old school!) to embellish this photo. The round items are really old chipboard from Hampton Art that was included in my August counterfeit kit, and the words were leftovers from an even more ancient package by K & Company. Did you notice that I grounded all the elements to an outside edge (or two), but didn't trap any of the irregular white space. Did you notice that the background paper is all rectangles and straight edges and the embellishments are all circles? |

Tracing Your Service Women Ancestors : A Guide for Family Historians
Whether you are interested in the career of an individual service woman or just want to know more about the part played by service women in a particular war or campaign, this is the book for you. Assuming that the reader has no prior knowledge of service women, Mary Ingham explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help in your research. She also vividly describes the role of women with the armed services from the Crimean War of the 1850s to the aftermath of the First World War and offers an insight into what the records can tell you about the career of an ancestor who served at home or abroad.
From the army schoolmistresses to the Women's Land Army, including British army, naval, air force and Indian army nursing services, the FANY, VADs, women doctors and the Women's Legion, her account outlines the origins and history of each service, describes uniforms and gives examples of daily life and likely experiences. This is the book you need if you want to follow up those clues in your family's history stories heard from older relatives, pictures in family photograph albums, handed-down uniforms, badges or medals that seem to indicate that one of your women ancestors served in wartime.

In his book "At the Origins of Modern Atheism," Michael Buckley suggests that atheism is invariably a parasite that feeds off bad religion. It feeds, picks on and picks apart bad religion. If this is true, and I think it is, then atheists do us a big favor. They show us our blind spots, rationalizations, inconsistencies, double-standards, hypocrisies, moral selectivity, and hidden arrogance. So in other words Atheism shows us the log in our own eye.
Fredrick Nietzsche once famously said God is "the opium of the people" and that a focus on the next life helps keep us subjugated in this life. But he also made a much deeper criticism of religion by stating that the idea of God and religion is merely a rationalization of our own desires. He believed that we make God into our likeness and image. He supposed that God is a projection of our mind that we use to justify our-self will and fears. As individuals and as churches, we simply use the idea of God to do whatever we want, and then simply call it God�s will.
Today we have people like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins who continue the assault on religion. But even more painful than their critique on we who practice religion is the fact that bad religion gets picked upon and picked apart by many of those who are near and dear to us, not the least of which are our children.
Today there is a constant drumbeat within the culture, our religion and our churches where we find ourselves being picked apart because of inconsistencies, blinds spots, and moral selectivity. As much as this criticism hurts and at times seem unfair, if we take an objective and honest look at ourselves we find that most of the criticism is rooted in truth.
Our response to atheism and to other critics who feed off our religious faults must begin with an acknowledgement of where they are correct, even if those criticisms come from voices that we think are unfair and are, themselves, rationalizing.
For example, an unfair media does not create any of our sins and shortcomings, we do. Therefore, we should be grateful for the challenge our critics provide us. No religion, and probably no individual person, has ever been fully faithful and we�re better off hearing what�s thought of us and said of us. After all, denial is not our friend.
We need to acknowledge what�s true and resist the temptation to defend ourselves in ways that simply create more bad religion for our critics to feed upon. When we�re overly-defensive, we not only cast ourselves and our churches in a bad light; we cast God in a bad light.
The response to bad religion is not secularism or atheism, but better religion! We need more consistency, both in our private conscience and in church practice. True religion is by definition beauty and goodness. To paraphrase St. Paul: true religion is patient and kind, it is not jealous or rude. True religion does not seek its own interest, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth. It bears all things, hopes all things and endures all things. Nobody needs to tell us what�s beautiful. The same is true for good religion. But the reverse is also true. Bad religion also declares itself, and no amount of sincerity will ultimately hide that.
Atheism is a parasite that feeds off bad religion Buckley suggests. So, when atheism takes on a particularly nasty aggression, like it does today, perhaps we need to examine more closely what this mirrors inside of our practice and our religion.
