Message 1139550 - Posted: 12 Aug 2011, 20:17:15 UTC - in response to Message 1139520.  

Through the Chair, I hereby propose an amendment to the original proposal tabled before us.

I move that the Honourable Member for San Francisco, Angela Korpela, be hereby known, and elevated to the status of, "Saint Angela, Patron Saint of Raccoons for the USA".

All those in favour say Aye.

I can teach a rock to talk. Does that count?

Well now, this is a tough one. Saint Francis of Assisi is the Patron Saint of Animals and Birds.



And there's me thinking of nominating you for a "Saint Hood"

I so move - do I hear a Second?

Question is, Is Angela Catholic? In any case I think the position is filled.

Well, like it or not Francis will just have to move over, wont he.
We live in a democratic society and since Francis has held this
position for quite some time now I say it's time for Change. Someone
else can have a go at fulfilling this role now, Catholic or non-Catholic.
I don't suppose "Him" up there bothers about differentiating between
different faiths, no, he'd be only too pleased to have someone taking
on this role that's actually got some 'life' in them.
To this end I fully expect Pope Chris 1st.. to carryout A living Canonisation.

Signed....
Bishop Marmite.......but to you "THE BISH!!"...OK!

Not so much a replacement or relief as a local representative. St. Francis covers the WORLD, Angela only covers a portion of the San Francisco Bay area.

Too bad We don't get any of that, We do all the grunt work and they get all the publicity and rich donations...

Help!
Does anyone know where the setting to unhide the donation star is?
I am trying to get advice on this, but none of the mods I asked about it are answering me.

Ian:

On "Your Account" page here on the website,
at the very bottom, under Donations to Seti@Home, is a statement:
Are all your donations anonymous? yes (click here to change)

Thank you for the Living Canonization. Oooooh! I just thought of another miracle... every week clean underwear simply materializes in Eric's dresser drawers. He can think of no rational, scientific reason for its regular appearance. It must be a miracle!!! Any other explanation defies logic...

And Vic, Gracie is so beautiful! Zsa Zsa, Eva, Stinky Lou and Spawnie send their love.

On my page it says this:
Donations to SETI@home
Would you like to make a tax-deductible donation to SETI@home?
then it says "click here"
There is no
"Are all your donations anonymous? yes (click here to change)"
Thanks for trying for me though.

Hmmm...
It's right there at the bottom of my main account page...
Maybe it changes after you make a donation.
Perhaps the system has no record of a donation by you.
Or there is a catch-22 in the code that is making it impossible to unhide a star once it has been hidden unless you make a new donation.

I think that perhaps someone forgot to change my feed. That must be it.
I guess I'll have to wait until a person in power remembers to do it.
Again thanks.
you make a new donation.

that may be it,

Well that didn't work either, unless it has to go through some kind of update cycle.
I ticked every donation listed as anonymous, and my star is still there.

I'll have to inquire as to how that system works to see if it is supposed to be an immediate change or requires some time to take, just as it takes some time for a first time donor to receive their star.

I'll leave the change in place and see if the star remains.
