Oh my gosh, so many things have started happening for me in my genealogy career. First, I was asked to manage the Newsletter for the Northern Arizona Genealogical Society in Prescott, Arizona. Six months ago I would have hesitated accepting the position, but thanks to blogging and the opportunity it gives me to exercise my writing skills, I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Second, last week I was asked to teach a class at my local Family History Library; something I have dreamed of doing and have incorporated into my certification plan but wondered how to make happen. Now it is a reality. My topic will be the census with an emphasis on "what else we can learn" by analyzing some of the more obscure information provided in the more recent census.
Third, this morning when I opened my iGoogle page for my daily blog updates, I discovered I have been awarded my first ever Blogging award, the Ancestor Approved Award. Thank you to Hummer at Branching Out Through the Years for the award. I will be posting my response in just a couple days as I want to do the award justice. If anyone knows about the origin of this award I would love to hear from you.
I've also decided to participate in the 93nd COG which is sponsored by fM, with the topic of writing a "How to" series of articles with at least three segments. This will be a new direction for me to try but again on target for my certifcation track, pointing towards article publication.
So I will be very busy writing and rewriting and having a great time. Come back often to read and just say hi.

Irondale, Ala. - Audrey Sensing scored the first two runs of the game for Tennessee State and Shea Morris provided a strong performance in the circle to solidify the win Friday night. The Tigers 5-0 shutout of Howard helps them improve to 2-10 and sent the Bison to a 3-7 mark.
Sensing finished the night 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. Morris (1-6) earned her first win of the season as she struck out a career high 12 batters, while scattering five hits and a walk. Morris was on point with her command as she finished with 79 strikes in 101 pitches.
The Tigers used their speed to their advantage as Kiarra Freeman recorded three hits and Jennifer Givens added two more. Kate Morris and Brianna Roberts each picked up a hit, Roberts being of the double variety.
Sensing opened the scoring in the second inning as she led off with a single and moved around the bases on a Kate Morris ground out and two wild pitches, the second allowing her to cross home plate. The freshman first baseman would score again the fourth to give TSU a 2-0 lead. After a one out walk, Sensing scored all the way from first when Morris reached on a bunt single and the catchers throw soared into right field.
In the bottom of the fourth the Bison mounted there best threat of the game. With one out, Howard combined a double, a walk and a single to right to load the bases. It looked as if the Bison were going to score on their final hit, but Tayler Shimizu charged hard and made a perfect throw home to Lindsay Burgess to hold the runner at third.
The Tigers were able to get out of the inning as Roberts swarmed from third on a bunt attempt to get a force out at home for the second out and Shea Morris caught a Bison hitter looking for the seventh of her 12 K's.
TSU added three insurance runs with a two out rally in the sixth to provide the margin of victory. With Burgess on second and Shann'da Hamer on first, Roberts drove a ball into left off the fielder's glove who was trying to go back and stretch for the catch. Burgess would score on the double and Hamer advanced to third. Givens followed with a hard shot up the middle into centerfield, plating Hamer and Roberts.
The Tigers will play a pair of games on Saturday with the first beginning at 10 am against Maryland-Eastern Shore. After a one game break, TSU will return to the diamond to take on Savannah State at 2 pm. Both games can be heard live on tsutigers.com.

Nice trick. Far simpler than most I've seen or used. Only big snag is the overflow:auto; … some designs will let you get away with it, others will not.
Thought off the crazy train – would adding a min-height on the right column supply a fix there? Or I suppose more appropriately, on the left column. So even if it was a one line error message, it would still give (browsers that support min-height) the needed appearance without scroll bars?

Shia LaBeouf has long built a reputation as being one of Hollywood's bad boys.
But the 26-year-old insists that he is no longer as hot headed as he once was and has grown up a lot since his time fighting in bars and being irresponsible.
"I've made mistakes along the way, but I'm learning," Shia told Parade as he promotes new movie Lawless. "I'm more comfortable with myself, and I'm calming down. I think most twenty-something men go through similar struggles and start seeing what boundaries and what rules are.
"It's about pushing limits and trying to find yourself. I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes – I'm not that smart – so I usually learn by trial by fire."
Shia has been in the public eye since starring on Disney show Even Stevens as a kid but admits that he's lucky not to have had the high level kind of fame that would affect his day to day life.
"I've been blessed in that any kind of fame that I've received has never been like pop-star-fanatical," he mused.
"There's never been any fanatical nature to anybody who has ever appreciated anything I've been in or has noticed me. It's usually pretty respectful and quiet. People are very reserved with me, actually."
Meanwhile Shia, who prides himself on being a method actor, also spoke to USA Today about going on a real acid trip for upcoming movie The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman where he plays a moonshine-drunk in the bootlegging film.
"There's a way to do an acid trip like Harold & Kumar, and there's a way to be on acid," Shia said. "What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that [electric] chair in Dead Man Walking. These are guys that I look up to."
Although Shia admits that the day he tripped on acid was not fun.
"Sometimes, it does get real," Shia said about the shoot which was under the helm of director Frederik Bond. "Too real for a [director] who's trying to keep a diplomatic set."
Shia also drank real moonshine and the hallucinogenic effects were captured on camera.
The outspoken star just started shooting Lars von Trier's movie Nymphomaniac where he is going to actually have sex with his co-stars rather than simulating the steamy scenes.
The ballsy actor recently made headlines after he showed the world his naked physique when he stripped down for a full frontal scene in a music video for Icelandic band Sigur Rós' Fjögur Pianó but he says that he will consider girlfriend Karolyn Pho in his new raunchy movie.
"There are rules," Shia said about the agreement he came to with the Lars. "I have ethics. I'm not completely out of my mind."
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with sex. Sex is beautiful if it's done right. And I wouldn't just do it for no reason… Sex is different than love, and there is a separation, and that middle gap is what the movie's about."

Kevin Love Insists He Broke His Hand Doing Knuckle Pushups
Timberwolves forward Kevin Love spoke to the media Wednesday and confirmed that he broke 2 bones in his right shooting hand by working out at his apartment doing knuckle pushups on October 17. Love says he continues to try and stay in shape and support his teammates. He is expected to be back in 4-6 weeks. Love says he's planning on 6 weeks and if he's back before that it's a bonus.
Love led the Wolves in points and rebounds in 2011-2012 and will be replaced by 3 players at power forward. The 3 are expected to be Derrick Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, and Dante Cunningham. The Timberwolves begin the regular season Friday at home against Sacramento at 7pm, pregame on WJON at 6:30.

Reaction to the death of Lewis Katz, 72, Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner and former owner of the NBA's New Jersey Nets and the NHL's New Jersey Devils among other enterprises. He was one of seven people killed Saturday in a fiery plane crash in Massachusetts.
''The legacy he leaves behind is one of a brilliant businessman with a profound commitment to make a difference, as evidenced by the many civic institutions he supported. But it was his beautiful soul and his quiet acts of philanthropy that we most admired.'' --- Gov. Tom Corbett and First Lady Susan Corbett.
''He was a visionary businessman who touched the lives of so many with his tireless pursuit of innovation and enterprise, as well as his deep commitment to his family, friends and community.'' --- Adam Silver, NBA commissioner.
''Lewis was such a `full of life' guy, always optimistic and forward looking, always wanting to push the envelope and do good things for Philadelphia and Camden. He would talk with me and other officials about what he could to do to make life better for children and improve the image of our great City.'' --- Michael Nutter, Mayor of Philadelphia.
''He was a brilliant and innovative businessman, but more importantly a tireless and inspiring humanitarian. He directly impacted the lives of so many people and will be deeply missed.'' --- Bruce Ratner, majority owner of Barclays Center; minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets.
''While he was a person of tremendous influence in a variety of businesses, including sports, Lewis was, pure and simple, a great guy who highly prioritized his family and his friends.'' --- Gary Bettman, NHL commissioner.
Katz ''was a unique, accomplished, and widely respected Pennsylvanian and a generous philanthropist who contributed greatly to Philadelphia.'' ---former Gov. Tom Ridge.
''Lewis was a minority owner of the (New York) Yankees and a valued, long-time friend and colleague to so many of us within the organization. We will cherish his sense of humor, intellect, and deep sense of philanthropy.'' --- Hal Steinbrenner, Yankees managing general partner/co-chairperson.
''I worked for Mr. Lewis Katz with both the Devils and New Jersey Nets, and experienced first-hand the influence he had on both organizations. Lewis was extremely active in the business community, a philanthropist, and a family man.'' --- Lou Lamoriello, president of the New Jersey Devils.
''The Commonwealth lost a great leader and philanthropist. The impact of his generosity will be felt for generations to come.'' ---Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley and wife Suzanne.
''Lew was an extremely hard-working and successful businessman who also was incredibly down to earth and gave back to his community with joy and grace. A proud Temple University graduate, Lew had many conversations with me about how to improve neighborhoods around the campus perimeter. As pleased as he was to see Temple's tremendous growth over the years, his concern about possible negative impacts on longtime residents was a constant.'' --- Darrell L. Clarke, president, Philadelphia City Council.

Since last Saturday was May Day, I thought I'd delve into its history a little. "Chapter IV: May Day" in The Original Girls Handy Book (a reprint of a book published in 1887), had a few things to say about "a very pretty custom observed in Merrie England of fastening bunches of flowering shrubs and branches upon the doors of neighbors." The author writes of the (then) surviving tradition in New England, of "hanging upon the door-knobs of friends spring-offerings in the shape of small baskets filled with flowers." The historical influences end there since my "May Day basket" is a paper cone with a fun, scrapbook-inspired look. Usually I carefully plan the supplies I'll use for a project in advance, but for this I tried to use any and every supply I had on hand. I started with a kraft paper base and added from there.The colorful printed papers are various designs from K & Company, except for the tiny pink heart print which I posted here. Other elements include; spun cotton mushroom, velvet millinery leaf, paper flowers, vintage buttons, Blumchen butterflies, white paper doily, ruffle sewn from crepe paper, colored brads, iridescent glitter, beaded trim and ribbon.The top of the cone is finished off with pink tinsel trim and a ruffle made from old sheet music. The inside is lined with light blue paper, finished with scallop edge scissors.Once it was finished I treated myself to some pink ranunculus, which always remind me of this place near home.

hi this is a slightly unrelated comment, but it's my first:
how long did it take you to make the ascot tie and its packaging? i think it's lovely, and the idea of using the william morris wallpaper is brilliant! he's one of my most favourite designers.
what you've done there was actually an assignment for me last year at university, where i had to choose a time period and create a piece of advertising/packaging from that period! i chose victorian of course, my most favourite era! :)

Ken (center) regrets the day he told his wife they could have an open marriage, especially after finding out about her 10 affairs. Chris (right) admits to giving her husband bad sex so that he'll "stop asking for it."

Vandal arrested
Occasionally, evil rears its ugly head in a community with detestable results. Such was the case last week when the front door of the Chestnut Hill Baptist Church was used as a billboard to prominently display to the passing community a vulgar expression of hate. Thanks to the quick action of nearby observers the culprit was arrested and we were able to quickly cover and remove the disdainful graffiti.
Our church occupies a very prominent location in our otherwise peaceful and law-abiding community. And so, we feel a special regret that the crime occurred on our property. We all know this crime was the work of one person and are convinced that this is not a reflection of our loving community. The church regrets, however, that the outside of our building was used as the backdrop to send a message that is in direct conflict to the love we preach and believe inside.
David Seip, Pastor

Farmers Market improvements
I was very pleased to see the recent article on the exciting transformation at the Chestnut Hill Farmer's Market. I applaud the Petes' commitment to improving the Farmer's Market. The Farmer's Market is one of the many things that make Chestnut Hill such a magical place to live. It is part of our lives and traditions. My family goes there for our Thanksgiving turkey, our Saturday donuts, steaks for grilling, hummus for dipping and the best breakfast sausage you will ever find.
I have been a Chestnut Hill resident for over 12 years and the Farmer's Market food has been a part of our holidays, birthday parties and everyday lives. It is always a required destination on our tour for visiting friends and family. The food is great, but the people and sense of community are what make it so magical. The people at the Farmer's Market share our lives and history.
They know our names, delight in watching our children grow and remember your favorite foods. So, I encourage everyone to make the Farmer's Market part of your ritual. Shop, eat and talk to your neighbors. Sit, have coffee, lunch or a snack and slow down and have a conversation. I ask the Petes' to continue to make improvements at the Farmer's Market but please don't change its heart and soul. And never encourage people to come and use their laptops. Ever!

Personal attacks weaken argument
Regarding the letter of Adrian R. King Jr. ("Keep your opinions abroad," Nov. 1) By attacking Mrs. Eleanor Morris personally, Mr. King undermines his argument and detracts from the civility of the discussion. In our view, Mrs. Morris' opinions, not her background, are the legitimate subject of the debate over the SCH tree removal along Willow Grove Avenue.
In addition, Mrs. Morris' letter to the Local's editor several weeks ago reminds us how much we all owe to the Houston and Woodward families for their far-sighted and public spirited approach to the development of Chestnut Hill, which benefits all of us in this area today, including Mr. King.

Sharing Thanksgiving
It may be going to a restaurant or … having loved ones come to your home … or going over to the home of loved ones. It will be a day of sharing. A day that comes once a year. It will aways be a day of remembrance.
But there are those who cannot be with their loved ones. They are in a foreign land far from home. They wear the uniform of our military, and those who wear the badge of law and order and those who wear the uniform of our firefighters in our cities, in our communities and in our neighborhoods.
May we pause and take a silent moment on Thanksgiving Day before we celebrate to thank them, for they are the ones who guarantee that we will always have a Thanksgiving to celebrate.
Tom Woodruff
Could not have done any better
I so very much appreciate the article about me which appeared in the Local last week by J.B. Hyppolite ("Psychotherapist in area helps strengthen relationships," Nov. 1). Frankly, I could not have written a better one. Much appreciation.

Testing the Waters Rule to be TestedPosted by rtmsf on October 28th, 2008
This is verrrry interesting. The ACC, in all of its infinite basketball wisdom, is reportedly set to propose NCAA legislation that will allow players considering the NBA draft only ten days from the date of the NCAA Championship game to decide on whether they're staying at Mother So Dear another year or leaving for the riches of the D-League Europe NBA. From the Raleigh News & Observer:
The ACC plans to propose NCAA legislation that would force men's basketball underclassmen to decide whether they are in the NBA Draft within 10 days after the NCAA title game. ACC officials are considering submitting the proposal in time for an NCAA Board of Directors meeting on Thursday. If they wait, officials said Sunday, they will propose the idea next July. Under the proposal, "there would be no grace period — either you're in or you're out," said Karl Hicks, the ACC's associate commissioner for basketball operations. "We feel that's what would work best for the student- athletes and that's what would work best for the coaches."
Best for the coaches, we see… yeah, this has the Roy and K's dirty little hands all over it. Last year's players had 21 days to decide to go pro, but another 49 days after that to withdraw if they liked. That gave them plenty of time – the ACC would say way too much time – to go through predraft workouts, talk to agents, GMs and other NBA people, and effectively gauge their overall draft stock before making a final decision. And letting a kid have time to get informed about the most important decision of his life is a bad thing? Here's a shortened list of players who used the information they garnered to make a sound decision during last year's 'testing the waters' period, all were considered marginal first-round (read: guaranteed contract) prospects.
- Ty Lawson, UNC
- Lee Cummard, BYU
- Wayne Ellington, UNC
- Lester Hudson, UT-Martin
- AJ Abrams, Texas
- Robert Dozier, Memphis
- Jeremy Pargo, Gonzaga
- Josh Akognon, Cal St. Fullerton
- Danny Green, UNC
- Robert Vaden, UAB
How different might their teams have looked if all of these players had kept their initial decision to leave school intact? On the final day of NBA training camp cuts, where would these players be now? Time is fleeting, but we suppose that everyone has forgotten how we got to the 'test the waters' rule in the first place. In the mid-90s, the NCAA decided that players should actually have a chance to, gasp!!!, learn about the draft process and their draft stock PRIOR to being locked into declaring (and henceforth throwing away their remaining college eligibility on mere whimsy). Imagine that – rather than hearing from their girlfriend's second cousin about an 'agent' who thinks he has enough game for the L, Mr. Star Player was given a chance to actually make that determination himself. According to the RN&O article, this was taken into consideration:
Hicks said the ACC's eight-member men's basketball subcommittee, which included Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton and Virginia's Dave Leitao, discussed whether the time period may be too short for players to make proper choices. However, he said, "there's a sentiment that the longer the time goes on, the longer the lure of the NBA becomes more real in their mind, and they tend to make decisions based not on information that they're necessarily getting from NBA teams or from coaches, but from other people. The notion is that if you do this and it does get passed, there could be some kids that make bad decisions, rushing into it. But there's another thought that if that happens, after a year or two, then those that are coming after that would be all the wiser."
Did Anyone Consult the Players on This?
Hogwash. Actually, Mr. Hicks, the exact opposite occurs. When a player feels rushed to make a decision, he is more likely to not gather all the appropriate information and listen to all the wrong people – i.e., the idiots and hangers-on closest to him with dollar signs in their eyes. Clemson's KC Rivers, an actual PLAYER on an actual team with other players that this rule would impact, nails it:
Clemson senior K.C. Rivers, who briefly pondered submitting his name last April, said he disagreed with the legislation because he doesn't think it will give players enough time to gather information from NBA teams and make an informed decision. "If this rule had been in effect [last spring] … I would probably have not been back at Clemson," he said.
So congrats are in order for Roy, Coach K, and all the other ACC coaches who find it reprehensible for an athlete to have a proper amount of time to make an informed decision on his future (sidenote: 70 days may be too long, but 10 days is way too short). Perhaps the next time you make a life decision, you'll appreciate having someone rushing you through the process as well. Oh, it hurts your recruiting? How so? Name one player who actually would have contributed to your program you were unable to recruit because of this rule – just one.

Updated 2:43 p.m. - SAN DIEGO, CA -- Mitt Romney assailed President Obama's comments to outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about increased "flexibility" after the election this fall.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev chat following the conclusion of their bilateral meeting March 26 at the Nuclear Security Summit Seoul, South Korea.
At a medical device company in San Diego, Romney called the president's comments -- captured Monday on an open microphone -- "an alarming and troubling development" as part of a longer wind-up about the importance of missile defense and standing by our allies.
"This weekend, the president happened to be somewhere where the microphone was left open. You may have heard that. It can be revealing, in this case, it was. He was speaking with Mr. Medvedev, of Russia. And he said, 'This is my last election, I can be more flexible after the election is over,'" Romney started.
"Now when the president of the United States is speaking with the leader of Russia saying he can be more flexible after the election, that is an alarming and troubling development," Romney said. "There's no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the American people and not telling us what he's intending to do with regards to our missile defense system; with regards to our military might and with regards to our commitment to Israel; and with regards to our absolute conviction that Iran must have a nuclear weapon."
Obama's comments were captured at the very beginning of the photo opportunity after the the bilateral meeting between the president and Medvedev, when the two leaders were leaned over and speaking to each other.
RELATED: Obama's hot mic moment
"This is my last election," Obama was heard saying, "After my election I have more flexibility."
Medvedev responded that he would "transmit this information to Vladimir," meaning Vladimir Putin, the president-elect of Russia.
A Russian journalist's recording indicates the two leaders were talking about missile defense, a touchy area in U.S.-Russian relations.
Before Romney's remarks had concluded, President Obama's campaign pushed back at the former Massachusetts governor's criticism.
"Once again Governor Romney is undermining his credibility by distorting the President's words," Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement. "Governor Romney has been all over the map on the key foreign policy challenges facing our nation today, offering a lot of chest thumping and empty rhetoric with no concrete plans to enhance our security or strengthen our alliances."
Romney delivered his attack of the president during a speech that began with a critique of the President's health care law. Standing before a sign reading "Repeal and Replace Obamacare," Romney said there were "a lot of reasons not to like Obamacare," and outlined a number of his issues with the law, but stopped short of his usual direct call for the bill's repeal.
In his more than twenty minutes of remarks, Romney also never mentioned the Supreme Court case beginning today that could decide the law's fate well before the November election.

We chatted for a bit and I told Eric that I was on my way to Alley Pond from the Bronx where I had spent a cold vigil in the morning before finally re-finding a Barnacle Goose at Van Cortlandt Park (I'll post photos later). Our conversation drifted to the Virginia's Warbler and Eric indicated that he was looking for it, but had not see the bird that morning (making two consecutive days that the bird has not been seen). I asked Eric if he had birded elsewhere in the park and he replied that he was leaving the area where the Virgina's was last seen to bird other areas in the park. He mentioned having Rusty Blackbirds at Turtle Pond. We exchanged some other information as I relayed to him what birds I had seen at Van Cortlandt Park besides the BAGO.
I then asked Eric if he had birded an area he named after me called, "Andrew's Chat Corner". There was strategy in asking that question. I remembered that near the area an Ash-throated Flycatcher was found a few years ago. I referenced that birders in Cape May had recently reported an Ash-throated Flycatcher and suggested that the corner/area should be checked out. Eric indicated he was heading in that direction and after a few additional minutes we ended our call but not before I indicated that I was going to call him when I got to Alley.
Minutes later the phone rang, it was from Eric and this is what he said. "You better get over here, I just found a female Painted Bunting", I was grinning from ear to ear. Yes!! I knew it, there had to be a goodie out there somewhere - it was not an Ash-throated Flycatcher, but it was good enough! The Patagonia Picnic Table Effect was in play (The Patagonia Picnic Table Effect is a birding phenomenon named for a famous hotspot in southeast Arizona. As the discovery of Rose-throated Becards there drew more and more birders to the area, additional rarities and birds of interest continued to be discovered, attracting even more birders and resulting in even more discoveries). Here are some photos I managed to obtain of today's female Painted Bunting. Another excellent find from Eric who might have to fend off birders who may want to start tracking his every move if he keeps finding these rarities.

It is, but as I was piecing together a back from the leftover scraps of fabric I realized that these could become a whole other quilt.
Soooooo...I have to go buy some backing fabric for this one and the new one.
Hopefully today if it doesn't start snowing.

By the way... where do you live that you can see your patio? We haven't seen ours since November. If our entire winter is going to be this cold with this much snow, we're going to be a crabby bunch in Wisconsin. Next week we have a few warming days and then below zero temps. What's going on?
Can't wait for your quilt to be finished and on your bed, photographed and on your blog. It would even make a great duvet cover.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the remaining legal hurdles to homebrewing in the United States. Demonstrating that these laws are still doing harm, agents from the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board raided a Birmingham store to seize homebrewing equipment:
The owner of a small beer, wine, and homebrewing supply chain says three agents from the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board raided his unopened store late Thursday afternoon and took $7,000 worth of home beer brewing supplies, including boxes of beer brewing kits, carboys, immersion chillers, and books about brewing.
The agents took the equipment used to brew beer, but Torres said they left the ingredients used in beer brewing — grain, hops, and yeast — in the store.
"They said they'll be back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and everything had to be — everything, every pellet of hops, every kernel of grain — had to be out of the store before they'd be willing to consider our license," Torres said. He said he now plans to get those ingredients out of his unopened store, which is located on 2nd Avenue South near Pepper Place, and take them back to his other location in Atlanta Thursday night.
An attorney for the ABC praises the agents' discretion:
"The agents used their discretion, and instead of taking all of the items — which they had the authority to do — they only took a portion of the items with the assurance that the rest of the items would be out of the state by today (Friday)," Peacock said. The agents also showed discretion by choosing not to arrest the general manager of Hop City, he said.

Who Are the Antiochian Women?
by Dianne O'Regan
Originally published in The Word, March 2007
Antiochian. adj., of or pertaining to the city, or Christian church, of Antioch; Women, (pl. of woman), an adult female human being.
AS THE ORTHODOX FAITHFUL AROUND THE world await the Resurrection of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, the Antiochian Orthodox Church of North America also celebrates Women's Month in March, as designated by His Eminence Metropolitan Philip. We should all remember the many events in Christ's blessed life where women played a major role. From the Annunciation by the Angel Gabriel to our "second Eve," our Most Holy, Immaculate, and Blessed Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, to our Lord's visit to the home of Martha and Mary, to those who stayed at the foot of the cross, women have always served our Lord.
Is it any different 2,000 years later, that women should serve Christ and His Church? Of course not! His Eminence Metropolitan Philip realized that throughout the Church's history women were front and center. With this in mind, in 1973 he founded the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Women of North America. Since that time, the Antiochian Women have become a major "force."
So, who are the "Antiochian Women?" Quite simply, they are each and every woman — from 19 to 99 — who is a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church in the United States and Canada. They are wives, mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. They are daughters, sisters, aunts, and cousins. They are the women who sit in front of you, next to you, and behind you in church. They are members of the "Women's Club, "Ladies' Society," or "Myrrhbearing Women." An Antiochian Woman is YOU!
Unfortunately, on more than one occasion, we have heard that the Antiochian Women are the "old ladies who work in the kitchen." However, our seniors' service to Christ and His Church is NOT confined to the kitchen. To say so is a disservice to the hard work that they have done in building the Church to new heights. Antiochian Women are not just grandmothers or greatgrandmothers — they are college students, young women in their 20's, 30's and 40's, middle-aged women, and yes, senior citizens. If you look around your church, you will see the Antiochian Women in a variety of services — teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, or serving on the Parish Council, to name just a few. As we study the writings of the Church Fathers to learn more about our faith, we should also study the women who have gone before us so that we may become better workers in Christ's Church.
Now that you know who the Antiochian Women are, you may ask, "What exactly do the Antiochian Women DO?" To put it simply (and to use our motto), we are "a Sisterhood Serving Christ Through Serving Others." The Antiochian Women have committed themselves to serving Christ and His Holy Church. By giving a few minutes each day, week, month or year, the Antiochian Women serve those who are in need. The work and dedication of these women — across the United States and Canada — has been mind-boggling.
In the past thirty-plus years, the Antiochian Women have raised about $2 million towards everything from the Antiochian Village (the Camp and the Heritage and Learning Center), to Balamand University, to Pastoral Education. The Antiochian Women's "annual projects" are legendary. In 1998, His Eminence challenged the women to raise $1 million towards the Orthodox Orphanage Endowment Fund. In 2004, the women not only met their goal, but EXCEEDED it! Today, many Orthodox orphanages around the world receive annual contributions from this endowment fund. The women were humbled by the statement of one of our clergy that the "Orphanage Endowment Fund will be the Antiochian Women's legacy."
After that achievement, Metropolitan Philip challenged the women to raise $500,000 in five years towards the Retired Clergy Fund. As our priests have cared for us, we now seek to care for them in their retirement. To date, the Antiochian Women have raised over one-half of this challenge, in only a two-year period!
In addition to the Annual Project, the Antiochian Women also send monetary gifts each Christmas to married seminarians. The Antiochian Women award scholarships each year to "non-traditional" female college students who wish to continue their education to better their lives. The Antiochian Women have also established retreats, lectures, the "Read the Bible in a Year" program, studies on the lives of women saints, and other religious programs in order to foster spirituality among all the faithful. The Antiochian Women put forth humanitarian works, from visits to nursing homes and hospitals to educating women on various health issues that may affect them.
If your church does not have an Antiochian Women's chapter, or if it is "inactive," please speak to your priest for his advice and guidance. Perhaps schedule an event that is FUN and place an announcement in the church bulletin, or get the church roster and send invitations (or better yet, make phone calls). As "pot luck" meal after church for all the women is especially effective. Membership booklets for forming — or re-starting — a chapter are available via the North American Board's Membership Coordinator, Kh. Joanne Bitar, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Once the women in your church see the great things they can accomplish, there's no telling what heights they will achieve.
During "Women's Month" in March, look for the women in your church who will be serving as ushers, giving a sermonette, or reading the Epistle. After church, take a moment to go up to an Antiochian Woman that you may know, introduce yourself, invite her to join you for a cup of coffee and, if there's an upcoming event, invite her to participate. You've not only made a new friend, but have also met one of the many Antiochian Women in the Archdiocese.
In closing, we hearken back to that blessed morning when the myrrhbearing women arrived at Christ's tomb. Finding it empty, the women were asked by the angel, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!" (Luke 24:5-6). From this event, we learn that the WOMEN were the first who received the glorious news of our Lord's resurrection from the dead, and they went and preached the news to others. Let us, as Antiochian Women, follow their example in our thoughts, words and deeds, throughout not just this Lenten season and Pascha, but in every day of our lives.
Dianne O'Regan serves as the Recording Secretary on the North American Board of the Antiochian Women. She is a member of St. Michael the Archangel Church in Louisville, KY.

April 10, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT Men's team took a bold step in March by combining their Heavy and Light squads. The joining of the teams occurred in time for the squads to spend their entire spring break learning to work together and prepare for the upcoming spring racing season.
"The combination provides racing opportunities at the EARC level for our growing men's team and enables our boatings to be more complete and competitive" said men's lightweight coach Ted Benford.
At the beginning of the 2006 spring campaign, it became clear that the varsity lightweight team's season was in peril. The young team started the year with only nine athletes and with injuries, the squad was reduced below an eight. Without an eight, the team was going to lose opportunities to race in traditional EARC cup races and the Eastern Sprints.
The guys on the squad however were undeterred, training in fours and small boats preparing for a competitive season. The heavyweight squad, while deeper, was looking at the possibility of fielding a second varsity with freshmen. By combining forces, the team has been able to create competitive opportunities for all its male rowers while strengthening boats at every level of the program.
"The blending of our squads has resulted in the lightweights getting the chance to race and has improved both the depth and quality of the MIT men's crew" commented men's heavyweight coach, Gordon Hamilton.
The freshman squads were the first to see benefits of a combined effort. Last weekend, the first freshman eight fielded a squad that included a lightweight rower in a victory over the Columbia first freshmen.
"We put Russell (Ryan) in the bow for a few practices and immediately I saw the bow riding higher and the hull running better. We tested him in seat races and he earned his spot" commented heavyweight freshman coach Dan Perkins.
The second freshman battled the entire 2000-meter course only seats away from a victory against Army as well. After the race, lightweight freshman coach Matt Berean was optimistic.
"The addition of several stronger guys to our second boat has provided the opportunity for speed that would have been difficult to obtain otherwise. The tight race against a substantially larger Army boat suggests that with more time the boat will be able to realize that speed."
The teams will spend considerable time over the coming weeks continuing the joint effort toward improved results and a competitive team that gives all rowers the opportunity to train and race at the highest levels of EARC rowing.

We are used to seeing sorrowful pictures of emgirants leaving their homeland for abroad. A slightly different, more joyous image is portayed in this article from a local paper, though I am sure the events were still tinged with sadness.
HAWICK MONTHLY ADVERTISER. 4th MAY 1854
HAWICK MONTHLY ADVERTISER. 4th MAY 1854
"EMIGRATIoN. – The number of emigrants who have left this town, and are about to leave it for
Australiaand , is very great. As a proof we may state that upwards of 60 chests of drawers belonging to families about to emigrate have been sold by public roup [auction] during the course of the present spring, and there are yet a good many safes to come before Whitsunday. Many of those who have gone have left their families behind them, so eager are people to get away from the mother country. Nearly 50 have departed this week, all of them in good spirits. These are chiefly for America . Their departure has given occasion to numerous marks of respect. There have been emigrants' balls, emigrants' suppers, and not a few testimonials of a more solid description have been given." Australia

18 June 2013, Geneva, Switzerland - UNITAR announces two upcoming e-Learning courses on the topics of cosmopolitan communication and mediation skills.
Cosmopolitan Communication: Connecting across Diplomats, Business Leaders and Civil Society Actors
As a result of the globalisation process, individuals and organizations constantly need to be engaged in developing their intercultural competences in order to operate effectively in a multilateral setting and avoid barriers and prejudices in negotiation and mediation processes. Moreover, the understanding of cultural differences enhances the interactions within international relations and consequently brings more constructive outcomes.
UNITAR's upcoming e-learning course on cosmopolitan communication will enhance participants' cross-cultural communication competences in order to allow them to operate effectively in a multilateral setting and avoid barriers, misunderstandings, and prejudices in negotiation and mediation processes.
For further information and to register for this course please visit: http://www.unitar.org/event/cosmopolitan-communication-connecting-across-diplomats-business-leaders-and-civil-society-actors-1
Mediation Skills
The United Nations plays a unique role in the management and resolution of international conflicts. The organization successfully negotiates and implements many of the settlements that have ended some of the most protracted conflicts in the world. By improving their mediation skills and developing an understanding of the UN's role in the mediation process, diplomats will be better equipped to prevent and manage international disputes.
UNITAR's upcoming e-learning course on mediation skills aims to improve the practical skills of actors in international mediation and in understanding the role of the UN in resolving conflicts. The course will offer insights into mediation processes, assessing the process of gaining entry into a mediation initiative and examining the early and later stages of mediation.
For further information and to register for this course please visit:http://www.unitar.org/event/mediation-skills-3
Participants from Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are eligible to apply for a fellowship.

As the days get shorter and the weather a bit colder, thoughts are already turning toward the upcoming holidays. While a few months away, pilots in Minnesota are already planning for this year's Tree of Hope, an effort to collect toys for kids who are hospitalized during the holidays.
The all-volunteer program was started in 1990 by Ray and Celeste Shefland who noticed that there were many children who spent time in the hospital over the holidays. Some of them were dealing with a major or terminal illnesses, some recovering from surgery or an accident. Ray and Celeste asked their aviation friends to help bring some joy to these children by bringing toys as they gathered to enjoy a potluck dinner. This was the beginning of the Tree of Hope program.
Last year about 2,000 toys were collected and distributed to more than 30 hospitals across the state of Minnesota.
The pilots behind the program realize there are many programs that collect toys for children during the holidays, but they emphasize that this is the only program that collects toys for children who are hospitalized. An official at one hospital commented, "with donations like the one you made to us, we are able to provide a sense of normalization and celebrate the holidays even if they are away from home. Your gifts will bring smiles to our pediatric patients and help them heal through play." Another hospital said, "Your generosity brings so many smiles from the kids and their families."
How can you help? Tree of Hope is collecting unwrapped toys for children ages infant to 18 years old. Bring one toy or more – all are welcome. Keep in mind that many of these children are either in bed or not very active, so gifts that they can use while in the hospital are appreciated, something to help pass the time. Monetary donations are accepted and will be used to purchase toys. Every donation, be it toys or money, goes directly to the children. All expenses are paid by volunteers.
Toys will be collected on Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Maple Lake Airport (MGG) in Maple Lake and the Superior Municipal Airport (SUW) in Duluth from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Snow date is Dec. 2). At the airport, the toys will have a Tree of Hope label attached, sorted into age groups and placed in bags to be delivered to the hospitals. From there, volunteers will deliver the bags of toys to hospitals all across Minnesota. Refreshments will be served by the Duluth-Superior EAA Chapter 272

Is Amazon Blocking Reviews Of Assassin's Creed Over DRM Issues? [Update]
from the civil-disobedience dept
So what's happening with Assassin's Creed 2 -- the Ubisoft game that is using incredibly annoying DRM and has had trouble keeping its servers up. Well... reader Aaron points out that for the PC version of the game Amazon appears to be showing no reviews at all. Either it deleted them or has proactively blocked the reviews. Of course, the reviews somehow are magically working for the PlayStation3 and Xbox versions of the game... Funny how that works.
Update: Some are pointing out that since the PC version isn't officially released until tomorrow, that could explain the lack of reviews on Amazon. They also note that elsewhere, such as in the UK, there are numerous angry one-star reviews...

The boat features a fully integrated hybrid system, "C" foils, "T" rudders, Southern Spars rotating wing spar, aft beam traveler, retractable propeller drives, tiller steering for racing, push button mainsheet controls at all steering stations State-of-the-art Morrelli & Melvin foils and a powerful sail plan with Mast Head the screacher sheeting into the forward cockpit for light air upwind performance and a full inventory of downwind furling sails make "H2O" and extremely capable catamaran in large crossover of wind conditions. Speed and performance did not sacrifice the luxury features of this cruising catamaran - which can realize up to 30 knot sailing speeds. The fully integrated hybrid system will allow you to depart the dock, enjoy a day of sailing and return to the dock without ever having to listen to a diesel motor. Better yet, you can enjoy a tropical night at anchorage with 30,000 BTU of air-conditioning without the noise of a generator. Completed in 2015 – "Extreme H2O" has already raced to Mexico and Hawaii and back and is fully serviced with a new 3Di raw racing mainsail a new R1 reacher and ready for racing and cruising in the Caribbean in 2017 Design Philosophy: "Extreme H2O" is the first Gunboat 66 to place an emphasis upon performance cruising catamarans. A product of the Morrelli & Melvin Design & Engineering design office, "H2O" was optimized for performance throughout a wide range of wind conditions. You can enjoy sailing at over 9 knots of boat speed in only 8 knots of wind on "H2O" which is unheard of on other GB66's This powerful sail plan is managed with advanced sail handling systems in both the forward cockpit with 4 high speed hydraulically driven winches and at all steering stations with push button mainsail controls. In addition, the mainsheet traveler is curved along the length of the aft beam for optimum mainsail control and safety The running sails are all controlled through bottom up or top down furling and the mainsail is reefed with state of the art locks at the head and clew. Design evolution: Morrelli & Melvin's designed the "C" foils to provide up to 4,000 kg of vertical lift and the "T" rudder to reduce pitching when the wave angle is forward of the beam. The "T"" foils are removable while boat is in the water so the boat can be easily configured for optimum speed and comfort. Construction: "Extreme H2O" began construction in South Africa by Gunboat. After the Gunboat closed its doors, the boat was moved to the US and completed by Westerly Marine - a custom boat builder, founded in 1970, and located in Santa Anna, California - specializing in Carbon Fiber Performance Vessels. Over 56,000 hours were required to complete the boat to certified standards.

Company of Heroes Easy Company, the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, widely known as the "Screaming Eagles," remains one of the most revered combat units in U. S. military history. The Army company's legendary exploits in World War II inspired Stephen Ambrose's book, Band of Brothers, and the Emmy®-winning HBO miniseries of the same name. Following two years of hard training, the soldiers of Easy Company parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, into Holland for Operation Market Garden. D

Maggie's War: A True Story of Courage, Leadership and Valor in World War II James Megellas, affectionately known as "Maggie," led H-Company of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment through some of the most horrific battles and deadliest missions of World War II, including the Battle of Anzio, Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge. MAGGIE'S WAR chronicles the evolution of a citizen into a fearless platoon leader, and the transformation of a young man into the most highly decorated officer in the history of the famed 82nd Airborne Division. Seven decades later, cameras follow Megellas, now a retired Lieutenant Colonel, on an emotional return to Europe with a small group of family, friends and 82nd Airborne veterans. D

Dust Bowl "Reaping The Whirlwind" For nearly a decade, the storms grow more ferocious and more frequent, sweeping up millions of tons of earth, killing crops and livestock, even spreading the dust across the country. Thousands flee, forced onto the road in an exodus unlike anything the United States had seen. But other thousands persevere against enormous odds. Families find ways to survive and hold onto their land. National and local government programs keep hungry families afloat, and a partnership between government agencies and farmers develop new farming and conservation methods. Part 2 of 2G

Shawnee City Commissioners voted 5-1 to approve a moratorium on "boarding or rooming houses in all zoning districts."
Shawnee City Commissioners voted 5-1 to approve a moratorium on "boarding or rooming houses in all zoning districts."
This action comes after the city commission voted down a request from the Shawnee Rescue Mission for rezoning at 204 N. Louisa to allow for a homeless shelter.
The moratorium will only affect homeless shelters, and will not have an affect on any college dormitories or potential apartment homes.
Commissioners Linda Agee, James Harrod, John Winterringer, Keith Hall, and Mayor Wes Mainord voted in favor of the moratorium. Commissioner Steve Smith dissented.
Commissioner Pam Stephens was absent.
The moratorium did not include a time limit.
Additional items included unanimously awarding the Airport Pedestrian Trail Contract to Bishop Paving for the amount of $633,409.90.
Original estimates put the repaving at about $400,000, however the low bid went to Bishop Paving, which resulted in a lack of more $200,000.
City Engineer John Krywicki suggested commissioners consider using excess funds from the library re-roof project, the expo parking lot project, and the Healthy Cities Grant for $10,000.
This more than made up for the shortfall, and commissioners voted unanimously to approve this funding option.
Commissioners also voted on several rezoning items, including a Conditional Use Permit to allow the sale of beer and alcohol. This was requested by Dao and Cynthia Nguyen. The Nguyens plan to open a liquor store on 45th and Kickapoo streets.
Another rezone request came from Chelsey Beauchamp, who had two requests. Beauchamp requested a Conditional Use Permit to allow her to place a mobile home on her lake property at 31909 Lake Road.
Commissioners approved this request with the addendum that Beauchamp maintain the aesthetics of her property, receive approval from the Oklahoma Department of Health, and chose a mobile home from 1995 or later.
Beauchamps' other request was a Hardship Request to allow her to place a temporary mobile home on the one-acre parcel for her ailing grandmother.
Smith moved to approve her request with the same guidelines as the other permit, however this motion died for lack of a second.
Agee then moved to the deny the motion, stating that the one-acre plot is too small for two homes.
The request was denied 5-1, with Agee, Harrod, Mainord, Hall, and Winterringer voting to deny, and Smith dissenting.

Bruce Springsteen Documentary to Air on HBO
The making of the most recent album by Bruce Springsteen will be the subject of a new documentary. 'Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes' will air on HBO on April 4 at 9:30PM, the network announced today.
Directed by Thom Zimny, who has helmed many Springsteen concert films and documentaries over the past decade, 'Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes' will chronicle the process that went into making the record. The 30-minute special features rehearsal and studio footage, and interviews with Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who contributed heavily to the record.
'High Hopes' is a bit of an oddity in the Springsteen catalog. It is comprised mostly of songs Springsteen left off albums over the past 12 years, with a few covers and re-worked versions of live favorites thrown in. Nonetheless, it has hit No. 1 in 20 countries.
Springsteen just wrapped up a month of shows of the Southern Hemisphere. He will begin a five-week arena tour of the United States on April 8 in Cincinnati. He will also headline a free concert in downtown Dallas as part of the NCAA's March Madness Music Festival.

This is the only place the lake is accessible. There is an ~1mi hike down the crater rim, though they say it's more like 10 miles back up. In this image you can see the latrines (nice to have latrines 1mi down in a volcano crater). In the other direction you can see the dock where the lake tours embark.
Crater Lake is a snow melt filled volcano crater in south central Oregon, USA. The water is very pure and awsomely blue. It is the deepest Lake in the USA at 1946 feet.

Dr.Windows (Windows Error Guard) - fun for the family for the holidays
(1/2) > >>
ok here is an idea i had; it should take less than a day to write with all the bells and whistles.
warning: if no one does this one i'll do it just as a lark.
ok here is the idea, it's for a joke program.
the app would be a system tray app called "Windows Error Guard" "Dr.Windows"
Ok so what does the program do?
basically the idea is to pop up at random times joke error messages of the type found here:
with real buttons, etc.
What is important i think is that the user should be able to configure their own dialogs.
so i suggest like this, a data directory containing dialog_name.cfg files and bitmaps for images in the dialog.
a dialog_name.cfg file like (dialog_tiredcomputer.cfg" would simple specify:
1) the titlebar of the dialog
2) the text
3) the bitmap (to be loaded from the data dir)
4) the button text
so your data file might have 100 different fake joke dialogs, and we could trade them and share them, etc.
the program should auto discover any .cfg files and choose from them randomly.
Now if we really wanted to get fancy i would suggest this: add an ability for the buttons to launch other dialogs - ;D
for example:
Title = "Error: Computer is Tired"
Text = "I'm sorry, you're computer has gotten very tired.\nWhat would you like to do?"
Bitmap = "tired.bmp"
Button1 = "Shutdown"
Button2 = "Continue Anyway"
Button2link = "SubDialog_beware.cfg"
and SubDialog_beware.cfg (note: subdialogs should not be shown at random):
Title = "Complaint Filed"
Text = "Your computer has filed a complaint against you, I hope you're happy"
Bitmap = "stop.bmp"
Button1 = "Ok."
And if we REALLLY wanted to get fancy,
we could actually add support for windows scripting when buttons are pressed, for example:
Title = "Error: Computer is Tired"
Text = "I'm sorry, you're computer has gotten very tired.\nWhat would you like to do?"
Bitmap = "tired.bmp"
Button1 = "Shutdown"
Button2 = "Continue Anyway"
Button1scrtipt = "javascript:shutdown();"
Button2link = "SubDialog_beware.cfg"
program would sit in the system tray, where it could be exited (lets not be cruel), and would appear from system tray to be a real program (either having no options or fake ones). A secret options page would allow you to set how often a message was displayed (with some randomness), like for example 1 per day, and whether to start with windows.
note: i really like this fun idea so if someone implements it, please do it well or i'll be writing this myself one day in the next week :)
ps1: any volunteers to help make a set of funny dialogs?
ps2: any other ideas for this?
:) And users should be able to upload their error messages, and download new ones! Each day a new error message... err, that sounds kind of famliar...?
might be nice to have an option in dialog file to show it as an alert with a url link.
i couldn't resist - working on this myself now - should be done by tomorrow.
just about done... only need to add scripting support.
who wants to help make some sample funny error messages?
