Sinclair Community College: Police Ban Signs at Religious Freedom Rally
June 15, 2012
On June 8, 2012, SCC's Traditional Values Club student group hosted an on-campus religious freedom rally to protest health coverage mandates from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SCC police declared that signs of any kind, pro or con, were not allowed at the event and ordered all signs to be placed on the ground. SCC police reportedly have been banning signs at campus events at least since 1990, despite a lack of support for doing so in SCC policy. FIRE wrote to SCC on June 15, asking it to immediately reject this blatantly unconstitutional censorship. On July […]» Read More
Sinclair Community College: Unconstitutional Ban on Distributing Literature After Class
February 22, 2011
Ethel Borel-Donohue, a student in SCC's Paralegal Program, peacefully distributed fliers regarding abortion, birth control, and breast cancer, after a class session. Days later, Borel-Donohue was summoned to the office of Judge Michael Brigner, Paralegal Program Chair. In a meeting in November 2010, Brigner reportedly stated that another student had complained to him about being "offended by the material in the brochures." Brigner then told her she "had no right to hand out any materials to students in the classroom." FIRE wrote to SCC President Steven Lee Jackson on March 16 in defense of Borel-Donohue's free speech rights. FIRE also pointed out […]» Read More
Sinclair settles suit over sign
March 12, 2013
Sinclair Community College has settled a lawsuit that challenged the school's former policy effectively banning protest signs and distributing leaflets at campus rallies. The lawsuit, filed in part by two students, claimed Sinclair violated the First Amendment rights of protesters when campus police ordered them to put down their signs at a June 8 "Stand Up for Religious Freedom" rally sponsored by the Sinclair Traditional Values Club. Sinclair has since revised its campus access policy. Under the settlement agreement, Sinclair will pay $9,681 to cover the plaintiffs' costs and attorneys' fees. The college also promised not to revert to its […]» Read More
Free Speech Under Assault at Sinclair Community College
May 10, 2011
Yet another assault on First Amendment rights on college campuses is taking place in Dayton, Ohio. Last October, Sinclair Community College (SCC) prohibited a paralegal studies student, Ethel Borel-Donohue, from distributing pamphlets to her fellow students after a class. The pamphlets focused on the link between abortion and the use of oral contraceptives to higher rates of breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but Judge Michael Brigner, Paralegal Program Chair, banned the distribution after receiving a complaint from a student who had had an abortion, telling Borel-Donohue she "had no right to hand out any materials to students in the classroom." Borel-Donohue, contacted the Foundation for Individual […]» Read More
Group: Ohio college's policy violates free speech
April 6, 2011
by Lisa Cornwell Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) – A southwest Ohio college violated a student's right to free speech by prohibiting her from passing out fliers on abortion, cancer and birth control on campus, a civil rights group said Wednesday. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education sent a letter to the president of Sinclair Community College in Dayton in February asking for a change in policies that it says violate students' constitutional rights under the First Amendment. "The right to distribute literature about controversial topics is one of Americans' most hallowed rights," group president Greg Lukianoff said in a statement. The […]» Read More
Sinclair Community College administrators threatened to void student election over food stamps platform
March 13, 2017
After tutoring students at Dayton, Ohio's Sinclair Community College (SCC) who struggled to afford food, Forest Wilson recently ran for president of the student senate on a platform premised on, among other things, allowing SCC students to use food stamps (EBT or SNAP funds) on campus. The results of the election are pending, but with SCC's campus dining services operated pursuant to a contract with Aramark, a corporation which generates billions of dollars in revenue each year, one thing was for sure: This story had all the makings of a David vs. Goliath fight. Sure enough, Wilson found resistance, including […]» Read More
At Sinclair, Liability Concerns Trump Students' Expressive Rights
November 15, 2013
Mark Twain once quipped that we have "three unspeakably precious things" in America: "freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them." After all, expressing oneself can be very dangerous. Sinclair Community College thinks so, anyway. You might recall that the college made headlines last year after police forced students at an on-campus rally to put away their handheld signs. Why? Well, in an interview with the Dayton Daily News, Sinclair President Steven L. Johnson said that colleges have a responsibility to protect their students and staff from domestic terrorism. Yes, you heard that right. […]» Read More

'Leaked' Sinclair CC 'Memo' Explains Terrorism Concerns Behind Sign Ban
July 18, 2012
Intrepid investigative blogger "Ken" of the Popehat blog gets into the spirit of Woodward and Bernstein with his posting of a really super authentic memo that is really, actually from Sinclair Community College President Steven L. Johnson. The memo explains why President Johnson might have claimed that the college's ban on signs at protests is related to an effort to crack down on domestic terrorism. Watch out Julian Assange and Wikileaks, Ken is coming to take your jobs! — P.S. Yes, we know this memo is a parody. Could you tell?» Read More
Sinclair Community College: Signs Just Too Dangerous for Campus
July 17, 2012
Believe it or not, Sinclair Community College (SCC) is insisting that its unconstitutional sign ban is all about student safety. Here's SCC President Steven Lee Johnson, as quoted in today's Dayton Daily News: Johnson told the Dayton Daily News that Sinclair, which has about 23,000 students at its downtown campus, is committed to being "a bastion of free speech" and the open exchange of ideas. "For God's sake, this is a college campus," he said. "It's an American college campus." But Johnson said the police "have the latitude to make decisions about those things that would affect the safety and security […]» Read More
Ohio College Sued for Censoring Pro-Life Event
July 6, 2012
DAYTON, Ohio, July 6, 2012—Today, Ohio's Sinclair Community College (SCC) is the target of a First Amendment lawsuit following the college's brazen violation of students' First Amendment rights. At an on-campus rally protesting new health coverage mandates from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, police officers forced event attendees and participants to put away their handheld signs communicating the protesters' message, citing the college's speech code. "Sinclair Community College's censorship is so plainly unconstitutional that it's difficult to understand how campus police and administrators justify it even to themselves," said Robert Shibley, Senior Vice President of the Foundation […]» Read More
Sinclair Community College: Enforcing Unconstitutional Sign Policy for Decades
June 28, 2012
This month, FIRE uncovered an outrageous unwritten policy banning all signs from events held on campus at Sinclair Community College (SCC) in Dayton, Ohio. The policy came to light when students and other demonstrators peacefully holding signs at a religious freedom rally were asked to take down their signs by campus police earlier this month (video included). Shockingly, FIRE has learned that the problem goes back much, much further—over two decades! A March 28 article published by SCC student newspaper The Clarion quotes SCC Chief of Police Charles Gift confirming that enforcement of the policy dates back to 1990: According […]» Read More

Sinclair CC Students: Have You Been Censored by SCC's Sign Ban? Tell FIRE!
June 22, 2012
As we noted this week, Sinclair Community College in Ohio recently censored the free speech of participants and attendees at a religious freedom rally hosted by SCC's Traditional Values Club. As photo and video evidence shows, police at the event forced all attendees to put away handheld signs supporting the event—a blatantly unconstitutional restriction of their right to free expression on the SCC campus. Amazingly, SCC police say they have had a policy prohibiting campus signage in place since 1990. FIRE has written to SCC asking the college to immediately disavow the police's actions here and prevent this censorship from […]» Read More
Sinclair CC Police Ban Signs at Religious Freedom Rally
June 19, 2012
FIRE has written to Sinclair Community College after learning of the disturbing and unconstitutional censorship of signs at a June 8 "Stand Up for Religious Freedom" rally held on the Dayton, OH, campus and hosted by SCC's Traditional Values Club (TVC). As photo and video evidence shows, police ordered the participants at the June 8 rally to put away their signs, some of which were homemade, many of which were distributed by the national organizers (more than 160 such rallies—in protest of new health coverage mandates from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—were held nationwide).

Ohio College to Review Ban on Peaceful Distribution of Literature on Campus
May 23, 2011
Ohio's Sinclair Community College (SCC) has announced that it will review an unconstitutional policy that prohibits all distribution of literature on campus by individual students. SCC banned a student from distributing literature about abortion, birth control, and breast cancer to her classmates after class. After FIRE intervened, the Chair of SCC's Board of Trustees, Lawrence Porter, stated that this policy and a second, conflicting policy would be reviewed. SCC student Ethel Borel-Donohue's story began during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month last October, when she distributed roughly 15 flyers relating to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to various students in her […]» Read More
FIRE Keeps the Heat on Sinclair Community College
May 6, 2011
FIRE has asked the Board of Trustees of Sinclair Community College (SCC) to do what SCC President Steven Lee Johnson has refused to do: revise SCC's unconstitutional distribution policies to preserve First Amendment rights for SCC students. FIRE's letter to Board of Trustees Chair Lawrence Porter points out that SCC maintains two policies that not only contradict each other, but also unconstitutionally prevent students from distributing materials across a large percentage of the campus. These policies were used to prevent a pro-life student from distributing materials pertaining to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to her classmates after class, when there was […]» Read More
Robert in 'Pajamas Media' on Pamphleteering and Political Correctness
April 25, 2011
In his latest article for Pajamas Media, Robert criticizes the censorship of Ethel Borel-Donohue at Sinclair Community College (SCC). Torch readers will remember that Borel-Donohue was banned from distributing literature on abortion, birth control, and breast cancer to her classmates after class. Robert presents the evidence that SCC censored Borel-Donahue not because of its unconstitutional ban on distributing flyers (see Section IV.3), but because she was advocating viewpoints that the school deemed to be politically incorrect. Robert compares Borel-Donohue's case to one at Princeton Theological Seminary, where a circulated pamphlet comparing the abortion rate in African-American communities to genocide prompted […]» Read More

DAYTON, Ohio, April 6, 2011—Sinclair Community College has banned a student from distributing literature about abortion, birth control, and breast cancer to her classmates after class. The college also bans all distribution of literature on vast areas of campus.

Nettle Recipes
Here are a few I've been fooling around with lately…
Gnocchi with Nettles
Serves 4
This dish takes some effort but it is a real stunner. There is simply no substitute for homemade gnocchi. You can use fresh nettles in this recipe by simply blanching the leaves, sauté until they are soft with a little garlic, and then carry on with the pesto recipe below, or use your frozen nettles as described in the pesto below, or you can replace the recipe for the pesto below with your premade frozen nettle pesto. (See my last post.)
1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup nettles, defrosted
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 large garlic cloves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over a high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 25 minutes, until they are tender when prodded with a fork. drain and allow to cool enough to handle.
Press the potatoes through a ricer or food mill—you should have about 4 cups. Dump the potatoes onto a board and spread them out so they can cool. (I use a large plastic cutting mat—it's easier to clean and you can curve the sides to slide excess flour into the garbage when you are done.)
Mound the potatoes and add the egg, gently mixing with the blade of your hand. Add the flour and salt and mix as well. Then start kneading. It only takes a few minutes for the dough to come together. Knead until it is smooth. Add a bit more flour if it feels sticky, but don't get carried away: too much flour will make the gnocchi heavy, and the dough is not as smooth and elastic as pasta or bread dough.
On a floured surface, cut half cup size piece of the dough and roll it out like a sausage, about the thickness of a crayon. Using a knife cut 1-inch pieces. Continue for the rest of the dough. Use the gnocchi promptly, or sprinkle with fine corn meal and pop in the fridge, covered with a dishtowel. The longer they sit around, the stickier they get, but a few hours are okay.
To prepare the pesto, add the nettles, stock, garlic, lemon zest and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste into the bowl of a food processor. Blend to a smooth puree.
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi a few at a time. The gnocchi are ready when they float to the top of the water, a couple of minutes. Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place on a serving platter. Melt the butter in a small pot over a medium low heat. Add the nettle pesto and the butter to the gnocchi and gently toss, keeping in mind that the gnocchi are rather delicate.
Adjust the seasoning and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Pasta alla Paul Sadowski (with Nettle and Morels)
Serves 4
I made this for my friend, mycologist Paul Sadowski, at a lunch recently. My next book is on the subject of mushrooms and he is full of fungal news.
1 lb fresh morels
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons minced fresh flat-leafed parsley
¾ lb small cut pasta, like farfalle or trofie
½ cup nettle pesto, defrosted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh morels can be gritty, so you must wash them first. Add a big pinch of salt to a bowl of water and soak the morels for a few minutes. Then gently swish the morels to remove the grit. Drain and slice.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet and add the garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is aromatic. Do not brown. Add the morels and lemon zest and cook until the morels are tender, about ten minutes. The morels will release their liquid, then the liquid will mostly evaporate. Add the parsley and cook a minute more, then take the morels off the heat.
In the meantime bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and ad the pasta. Cook until it is al dente. Drain, but reserve about ½ cup of the cooking liquid. Dump the pasta in a serving bowl and add a little olive oil to keep it moist.
In a small pot heat the nettle pesto. Add a little of the pasta water to loosen: it should be the consistency of heavy dream.
Toss the pasta with the nettle pesto, then add the sautéed morels and gently toss. And salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Risotto with Nettles
Serves 4
Arborio rice will do, but for preparing risotto, I prefer Riso Carnaroli. The grains do not overcook as easily, and the individual grains retain their integrity. The rice has a lovely perfume that indicates its freshness: the shelf life of these grains is eighteen months, and the better products are dated. Old rice will not be able to stand and retain an al dente state: it quickly becomes mushy. In Italy, risotto is loose, like a porrige. It should undulate when you wiggle the plate, ad is eaten with a spoon.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups onion, minced (1 large onion)
1 1/2 cups Riso Carnaroli or Arborio rice
3/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup nettle pesto, defrosted and loosened with a little warm water to the consistency of heavy cream
3 cups homemade or all natural low sodium chicken stock, warmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh chives, mint, or basil, minced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over a medium heat. (A wide shallow pot will cook risotto faster and more evenly than a deep small one.) Add the onion and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir until it is well coated with oil. The rice will become slightly translucent and the grains will individuate. This is good. Add the white wine (it will boil up rapidly for a moment) and cook over a medium low heat until the wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. The rice may stick, so stir often, though you don't have to stir it constantly if you keep the rice wet. (The point of stirring risotto is to lossen the gluten—that's what gives the rice its silky, congealed quality.) Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of the nettle pesto. Cook until the rice absorbs the nettles, a couple of minutes, then add the first cup of stock. Stir periodically, allowing the rice to absorb the stock, and ensuring the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes. Add the next cup of stock, and so on, until you have used all the stock. Test the rice for doneness by sampling a grain. It should be yielding but firm to the bite, and the texture of the overall dish should be as soft as porridge.
Add the remaining nettle pesto, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and the lemon zest and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring the pesto through the rice. Turn off the heat and allow the rice to rest for a few minutes. The rice will continue to absorb the nettle pesto.
Serve the risotto in low bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chives and grated Parmesan. You can also dribble a little extra virgin olive oil over the dish, if you like
Nettle Frittata
Serves 4 as a side dish
This rustic, herby frittata needs to be served right away, it puffs up beautifully, but then as the frittata cools, it deflates and is not as gorgeous. It is always delicious, however. I love to serve it for two with a green salad for a late, light dinner or beside a grilled meat. The dish calls for frozen sautéed nettles. You can make it with fresh nettles, too. Just blanch the leaves and sauté until soft with garlic.
1 cup frozen nettles, defrosted
1 tablespoon oil
4 eggs 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a 9-inch non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Add the nettles and heat them through, a few minutes.
Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the egg mixture on top of the nettles. Cover and retain the heat at medium to medium low.
The frittata will begin to puff up. It will look quite white one top, and steam will be escaping along the edges of the eggs. That's all good. After about 15 minutes, you will smell the browning of the eggs.
Now for the plate flip. Take the skillet off the heat. Remove the cover. Put a plate face down over the top of the skillet. Holding the plate in place, flip the frittata over onto the plate. It will be golden brown on the bottom. Slide the frittata back into the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, so the bottom can brown as well.
Serves immediately. Like a soufflé, as soon as you cut into it, the frittata will deflate.
Halibut with Nettle Pesto
Serves 4
I love this herby nettle pesto with fish. You can use you pre-made frozen nettle pesto in place of the nettle pesto below, which is made from frozen sautéed nettles, or fresh nettles that have been blanched and sautéed with a little garlic until soft.
1 1/4 lbs halibut or other rich, white meat fish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup nettles, defrosted
4 tablespoons pignoli nuts
2/3 cup chicken stock, warmed
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt to taste
Fresh grated black pepper to taste
1 lemon, quartered
Preheat the oven to 500˚F.
Salt the fish to taste. Dribble the oil in the bottom of a broiling tray. Place the fish in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes, until the flesh parts gently when prodded with a fork. You can also pan sauté the fish. Use a lightly oiled non-stick skillet and cook the fish flesh side down until just golden, about 5 minuets, then flip the fish over and cook an additional 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
In the meantime, put the remaining ingredients into a food processor and pulse to grind. I like my pesto rather coarse, but you can puree it to a smooth blend if you prefer. Either way, the pesto should be rather loose, like a porridge. Adjust the seasoning.
Serve the fish on top a puddle of the nettles pesto, garnished with a few grinds of black pepper, with a wedge of lemon.

Small changes to your food can improve your health. A balanced, natural diet will give you new energy and a clear head.
Making simple changes to your everyday diet can make a huge impact on your overall health. From apples to zucchini, every bite of heart-healthy food delivers a powerful dose of what we need to repair damaged cells and fight disease. "A good plate of food really does give you a better opportunity to be mentally alert and more physically active," said Dr. Scott Hansen, medical director of Intermountain's Live Well Center. Over the years there have been a number of guidelines, but one that most people recognize is the healthy plate. Divided into four sections, there are fruits, vegetables, a lean protein and whole grains. Top that off with a glass of milk, and you have a balanced meal. "With those combinations," Hansen said, "you get a good balance of the micro-nutrients and you're able to supply your body with what it needs to help sustain good health." Hansen said that when it comes to fruits and vegetables, buy fresh. Canned or processed items tend to have fewer nutrients and more sugar. Fruits and vegetables are very rich in anti-oxidants that help fight disease. They are rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are essential for cellular function for our bodies. Lean meats provide protein, which is the building block for our muscles. Hansen suggests eating a serving of protein with every meal and to eat red meats in moderation, using the cuts with less fat. Grains and carbohydrates provide a source of glucose that our heart and muscles use first as an energy source. Dairy products are not only a great source for protein, but calcium, which is essential for a healthy heart and brain. Dairy is also fortified with vitamin D, which is also a very important element for heart, brain and immune health. Among the biggest offenders are prepackaged and processed desserts and soda. Not only are they high in sugar, they can be high in the types of fatty acids that are harmful to us. "We're finding that sugar does contribute to the metabolic pathways that lead to the onset of diabetes or can aggravate some of the conditions that lead to heart problems," Hansen said. If you fill your plate with healthier options, your body will respond. "As you change your diet from what may be considered the 'standard fare' or the 'fast-food diet' or 'if I see it, I'll eat it,' or the 'I'll catch what I can wherever I can' diet, we sometimes have been using that diet for so long that we don't recognize what it really makes us feel like," Hansen said. "As you go on a healthy diet and sustain that for several days or a week, the first thing you'll feel is more immediate energy. The other thing is a mental alertness. A good diet takes away some of that cloudy feeling that we have." If you find it a bit challenging to make the change, Hansen has a suggestion. "Try to eat your first several bites with healthy foods, add free water rather than other types of sugary drinks and then see if there's still room left for an occasional indulgence for those types of foods," Hansen said. With every healthy change you make to your diet, your body will thank you. "I challenge anybody to take a week and eat healthy and then see how different they feel," Hansen said. Even though adding those healthy foods into your diet can cost more, you're saving money in expenses that will come from the consequences of an unhealthy diet.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D153591%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Engine Swap: GM Gen IV L92 Makes Big PowerPosted in How To on August 1, 2012
GM introduced the LS engine family of V-8 engines in 1997 in the Chevrolet Corvette as an all-aluminum engine, and the company has built upon this line ever since. These original versions, some with cast iron blocks and some with aluminum, were known as Generation III engines.
In 2005, GM introduced the Gen IV engines. The newer line brought larger bore sizes (for up to 7.0L displacement), different camshaft position sensor locations, and the addition of casting areas for GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation methodology.
We got news that the guys at Crocker Off Road Performance in Phoenix, Arizona, were doing a unique GM swap into a '98 Jeep TJ owned by John James from Cottonwood, Arizona. What stands out is their use of a 400-plus-hp Gen IV L92 engine transplanted from a Cadillac Escalade. The L92 is a 6.2L Vortec engine used in the Escalade and several other GM SUVs and trucks. It boasts an all-aluminum design with traditional pushrod technology, but utilizes variable valve timing. It was rated from the factory at 403 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque.
To make things ever more interesting, John backed this potent powerplant with a 6L80 six-speed automatic with full automatic and manual shifting options. When all was done, the Crocker guys made this engine look like it belonged under the hood from day one.
Going forward, the Gen IV engines will be a popular powerplant option for those wishing to swap in a modern engine with the latest technology. This class of motors offers improved fuel economy, efficiency, horsepower, and smooth drivability. Here's a quick rundown of things to consider when swapping any non-stock engine into your rig, and also some details specific to how you can put GM Gen IV technology under your hood.
01.Typical late-model engines have eliminated the ignition distributor completely and use one coil per cylinder. The L92 has four coil units mounted atop each of the valve covers. Using a dedicated coil per cylinder allows the manufacturer to precisely fire each coil and spark plug as needed. The engine computer can adjust the ignition timing for each individual cylinder, improving both power and fuel economy.
02.You're staring down the throat of a 90mm throttle body for this 6.2L V-8. To the throttle body, the shop crew added a custom intake boot and filter to fit the available area under the hood.
Fuel pressure to the injectors for the L92 should be about 58 psi, so a healthy pump that can move good volume is needed to keep this engine happy. A Bosch 040 in-tank pump was mated onto a 2005 Jeep TJ fuel pump sender and dropped into an aftermarket fuel tank for this particular build. A C6 Corvette regulator was used downstream.
03. Setting an engine such as this between the frame rails depends on just how much room you have in the engine compartment. Crocker used a set of M.O.R.E. engine mounts in this case. Depending on your particular swap and recipient vehicle, you may have to build custom mounts, or aftermarket pieces might be available. When doing an engine swap with new mounts, it's vital to make sure the engine, transmission, and T-case mounts are compatible. That is to say, you don't want one end mounted solidly while the other end sits on soft rubber mounts. Mounting point failure is likely to follow in this scenario.
05. We've seen some engines with rather odd radiator and heater hose configurations, but the L92 is pretty straight forward. There are, of course, radiator inlet and outlet tubes. There is also a pair of tubes for the heater system. The factory aluminum water neck of an L92 is aimed towards the passenger fender. Crocker cut, rotated and TIGwelded it to a more forward position aimed at the radiator.
06. Mating air conditioning components can get a little tricky, but if you live in a hot climate it's nice to retain this comfort feature through an engine conversion. You need to route the A/C compressor wire to the new compressor and have custom hoses built or adapt the two sets of factory hoses to mate the compressor to the vehicle system. When mating to an older R-12 refrigerant system, it may be necessary to change out some of the old A/C components to be compatible with the newer R134A refrigerant.
07. Most starter hookups are pretty straightforward and swap directly. In some cases, it may be necessary to add a relay between the ignition switch lead and the starter solenoid to provide sufficient current to energize the solenoid. Also, be mindful of the need for ground straps from the engine to frame or transmission to frame.
08. Like most all engines built today, the L92 uses a serpentine belt to drive the water pump and all accessories. This makes standard belt setup a snap, but can make it more difficult if you ever decide to add other belt driven pumps to the engine.
10. With space at a premium, Magnaflow bullet cats were tucked just inside the frame rails and alongside the T-case, a Magnaflow 2.5-inch muffler continues the exhaust system. For most engine swaps, the exhaust is one of the last items on the checklist. Space under the body and between the frame rail will dictate what system you can accommodate and a skilled exhaust installer may be prized to finish the job.
11. The scariest part of swapping in newer engines for most people tends to be the wiring harness portion of the project. If you're not comfortable splitting harnesses and assembling what you need, it may be a very good idea to partner early in the project with an experienced tuner to modify your harness and program your ECM for your specific application. For this swap, John Spear at Speartech Fuel Injection Services built a new harness for this application. John is an ex-GM electrical engineer and well knows his way around these engine control systems. Here the reprogrammed E38 computer sits in the footwell.
12. The transmission used in this swap is the GM 6L80 six-speed automatic. This transmission is best used with a Gen IV reluctor engine controlled by an E38 computer. The 6L80 electronic transmission control module must be pulled from the tranny and delivered to the tuner to be reprogrammed for the vehicle swap.
13. The tail of the 4WD 6L80 has the same bolt pattern as the very common 4L80 transmission, so mating up a transfer case means you have several options. In this case, John chose to go with a 3.0:1 Atlas transfer case, which bolted right up.
14. Here's a snail's eye view the bottom of the drivetrain. The L92 comes with a deep aluminum pan with rear sump. Behind that you can see the aluminum transmission bellhousing and the deep fluid pan for the auto. Crocker used a set of factory transmission hard lines that fit under the tranny and engine perfectly. Where the lines emerged under the radiator, the crew cut the lines and then spliced to soft lines routed to the cooler in the radiator assembly.
15. When it came time to hook up the transmission shifter, Crocker installed one taken from a 2011 Chevy Malibu. It can shift normally to Park, Reverse, and Drive. But, it can also go into manual mode allowing the driver to tap shift up and down through the gears with a button on the side of the shifter knob. Very slick!
16. Auto Meter gauges were skillfully adapted into the dash of the Jeep and were wired and plumbed to the engine to provide vehicle vital signs.
17. Add a big motor and you'll need to consider how much strength you have in the rest of the drivetrain. In this case, John opted to upgrade the rear axle to a Currie-built Dana 60.
He originally had 4.10 gearing but swapped down to 3.73 gearing. While the lower gearing (higher numerically) may seem like a great fit with the 33-inch tires John is running, a motor with this much horsepower and torque on a light vehicle is much better behaved with the 3.73 gears.

The Huskies erased a 15-point second-half lead, but the Red Storm (15-8, 7-4 Big East) went 9-of-10 from the foul line in the final 1:47 to hold on for a 71-65 victory. The Red Storm finished 24-of-31 from the line (77.4 percent).
"We shoot free throws before practice with the coaches and again after practice to simulate a game when we're tired," said JaKarr Sampson. "I've seen an improvement."
D'Angelo Harrison, the second-leading scorer in the Big East with an 18.9 average and the player St. John's has relied on all season, was on the bench for almost all of the 15-1 run that got the Huskies (15-6, 5-4 Big East) back in the game.
Harrison, who has been playing with a very swollen ring finger on his shooting hand, was on the bench for almost eight minutes at the start of the second half in what was a teaching move for Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin.
"The thinking is sometimes when a player is going through a tough stretch you can help them by sitting on the bench," Lavin said. "He gets to see the game from a different prism or lens. It can be like smelling salts. It can snap a kid's head back so he can see what's needed at that point."
Harrison had seven points in the Red Storm's closing run that began at a 53-51 deficit with 4:30 to play. He finished with 11 points, seven boards, three steals and made 4-of-4 free throws during the Johnnies' 16-of-18 performance from the charity stripe in the last 9:49 of the game.
Freshman forward JaKarr Sampson had 18 points to lead St. John's to its sixth win in seven games. St. John's only active scholarship upperclassman, Marco Bourgault, hit all three of his 3-point tries as part of an 11-point effort.
The win was big for St. John's, which needed the victory to bounce back from a disappointing showing at Georgetown, where the team shot a season-low 31 percent from the field, ending a five-game winning streak.
"At this stage of the year you don't grade victories in the Big East," said Lavin. "Chalk it up. Move forward. Do the best you can to improve in areas that have to be addressed and get ready for the next game."
St. John's played without point guard Jamal Branch who sprained the MCL in his left knee in the loss to Georgetown. Branch, a transfer from Texas A&M, became eligible on Dec. 21 and is averaging 8.3 points over 10 games.
Things get a little tough for St. John's in the coming week. The Red Storm first make a 300-mile road trip upstate to meet No. 9 Syracuse on Sunday, Feb. 10, for a 1 p.m. tip on ESPN, before flying west to face No. 11 Louisville for a Valentine's Day meeting at 9 p.m. on ESPN/ESPN2.

I'm trying to make as informed decision as possible about getting either the Canon D10 or Panasonic TS2, I've weighed up plenty other options (Pentax W90, Sony, Olympus, & Fuji) but these two seem to consistently have good / better reviews... now to decide on one.
It's water purposes would be used mainly for snorkeling, and paddling / river kayaking etc - on top which it needs to be dragged up cliffs and over mountains. Have always had Canon's so trying not to be biased, the clunky unpractical shape is a big deterrent, especially for helmet mounting for paddling, think its going to pull the helmet over my eyes!
Both seem to have as good an image quality as each other as can be expected for u/w point-&-shoots, though the ts2 video seems better...
Any pearls of wisdom (or comparisons of shots to show image quality) that you have to share would be greatly appreciated.

AUBURN, Ala. – Tennessee State scored a season high 73 points but fell at SEC foe Auburn 78-73.
The Tigers produced their best offensive effort to date in a hard fought loss at Auburn. Coach Travis Williams' team shot 56.5 percent from the field (26-46) and 45.0 percent from deep (9-20). Both marks are the season's bests for Big Blue.
Senior Jacquan Nobles led three Tigers in double-digits with 22 points a career high for the TSU guard. Forward Kennedy Eubanks also recorded career highs in both points (17) and rebounds (9) in the game. Senior Patrick Miller posted a season high eight assists on the evening, to go along with 17 points.
Jay Harris go the Tigers on the board first with a jumper to give TSU the early 2-0 lead. Auburn rattled off the next seven points in in the next minute of game action to take a 7-2 lead.
Coach Travis Williams used a timeout to rally the group, out of the stoppage junior forward Kennedy Eubanks connected on two layups to close within one, 7-6. A Jacquan Nobles triple continued the 7-0 run into the first media timeout.
A layup from Eubanks increased the Tigers lead out to four, 11-7 and capped the 9-0 span. During the run Tennessee State held Auburn scoreless for four minutes of play.
The two clubs traded baskets with a 3-pointer from Jay Harris knotting the game at 19 with 10:07 left in the first half. Auburn then went on a 5-0 spurt to regain the lead, 24-19 with 8:53 remaining in the opening frame.
Back-to-back threes from Nobles returned the advantage to Tennessee State, 25-24, at the 7:19 mark in the first half. The home team closed out the first half with a 36-33 lead.
Nobles finished the first half with 12 points on 4-5 shooting from beyond the arch. The double-digit effort was his first since he poured in 15 points against Delaware State on Feb. 11, 2011.
As a team Tennessee State shot 12-22 (54.5%) from the field, and 6-10 (60.0%) from 3-point land.
Out of the locker room Auburn pushed the lead out to seven after an 8-4 run to make it 44-37. A Harris jumper followed by two free-throws from Pat Miller brought Big Blue back within three, 44-41.
A layup from Miller closed the home team's lead down to two points, 51-49, with 10:46 left in the game. The two points was the senior's seventh point in the first nine minutes of the half.
Freshman Jamonte Graham's layup paired with Nobles fifth triple of the game cut Auburn's lead down to a single point, 59-58, with 6:48 left in the game.
Auburn used two free-throws and a layup from Chris Denson increased its lead back to five, 63-58, at 5:44 in the second. The home team scored four more points to extend the advantage out to the largest lead to that point, at nine, 67-58 at the 4:10 mark in the second.
Two freebies from Kennedy Eubanks cut the Auburn lead down to 70-65 with 1:33 remaining in the contest.
Patrick Miller converted a layup and grabbed a steal with just under a minute left on the clock. The Tigers raced down the court and Nobles nailed a three from the top of the key to cut Auburn's lead down to two points, 72-70 with 36.2 left on the game clock.
TSU fouled on the inbounds pass putting Denson on the line for Auburn. The guard hit both free-throws to push the lead back to four, 74-70. Nobles got a good look from three on the other end just missing, Auburn countered going 1-2 from the line extending their lead to five.
Miller was fouled on the other end going 1-2 from the line missing the backend of the pair of freebies. The Tigers grabbed the rebound but a 3-pointer from Miller just missed allowing the Tigers to grab the rebound.
That was the final stand for the Tigers as Auburn closed out the game at the line, winning 78-73.

Lack of snow didn't slow down the annual snowshoe event at Old Fort Niagara. Folks didn't get a chance to actually walk on snowshoes or play the game of snow snakes, but everything else was available to show visitors how people worked in and survived the winters in the 1700s.
The equipment needed to stay alive during the cold months was demonstrated along with period board games and the making of hot chocolate, which would have helped to pass time during the winter.
Snow snakes were shown and discussed and Carol Rogers from the New York State Parks Interpretive Office gave a talk and demonstration on the evolution of snowshoes, so folks could learn about them, even though they couldn't actually try them out.
The French soldiers that people watched drilling all day suddenly turned on the crowd and took them prisoners. As they marched the unlucky visitors out of the fort and into the woods to the east, they came across a camp of British scouts and a pitched woods battle ensued, with the scouts chasing off the French soldiers and rescuing the prisoners.
Everyone was treated to hot chocolate in camp before they were led out of the woods and back to the fort. (photos by Wayne Peters)

Study sought on deteriorated Wendt Beach mansion
Erie County parks officials want to know just how badly a long-closed mansion at Wendt Beach in Evans has deteriorated.
The historic mansion in the county-owned park has been stripped of copper, flooded and burglarized in recent years, and the county and town want to know how much it would cost to restore.
"The longer we let these things deteriorate and fester, then they become totally obsolete as far as trying to renovate them and market them," said Legislature Minority Leader John J. Mills, whose district includes the Town of Evans.
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz will ask county legislators next week to hire architectural firm Stievater & Associates to evaluate the extent of the deterioration and estimate how much money it would cost to restore the structure to a usable condition. The consultant would also be asked to suggest possible reuses for the building, said Peter Anderson, a Poloncarz spokesman.
"What the county wants to know is how bad a shape the building is in," Anderson said. "If nothing is done, it's going to continue to deteriorate to the point where it's going to need to be demolished."
But the idea of hiring a consultant to look at just one county parks building when so many are deteriorating has raised concern that the scope is too narrow in a parks system with many needs.
"Why would we be spending money to bring them back to code, and yet we don't have the manpower to operate these parks for our community to use?" Legislator Thomas A. Loughran asked during a recent committee hearing.
Loughran suggested that the county's money would be better spent evaluating all of its parks inventory to determine what it can continue to maintain.
But Parks Commissioner Troy Schinzel said the historic nature of the 1800s summer mansion at the park necessitates the county fully researching the building's options.
"We, the county, cannot just take buildings like the Wendt mansion and say goodbye and knock them down," Schinzel told legislators. "We would be in a worse pickle if we didn't do our research and hire a consultant to tell us the good, the bad, the ugly."
The Wendt Beach mansion, built in the 1800s as the summer home of Buffalo Forge magnate Henry W. Wendt, has seen a series of mishaps that have accelerated its decline in the last six years. Vandals in 2007 used blow torches and saws to rip copper pipe from its basement, flooding it for days before the damage was discovered. The building's alarm system at the time did not work.
Then, in 2010, vandals smashed dozens of windows on the building and broke in again.
"We need professional help as to whether or not it can be salvaged structurally," Mills said. "This is something that is beyond small shelters and caretaker homes."
Today, the building sits vacant on the shore of Lake Erie. Town of Evans officials hope it can be renovated and put to reuse as a public space with the help of grants or other funds.
"I think everyone understands that this has to be a public and private solution here," said Lori Szewczyk, director of community development for the Town of Evans, "that if we rely solely on grant funding to restore this property, it just might not be enough money to save it in time."
The Poloncarz administration, however, cautioned that it has no plan yet for the future of the building. A controversial proposal in 2006 to turn the building over to a private developer as a bed-and-breakfast fell apart after questions arose about the deal and the public's access to the park.
This study, Anderson said, would focus on the building's architectural integrity. The county set aside $30,000 in its capital budget to assess the Wendt Beach mansion and choose Stievater & Associates from three proposals submitted to the county this summer.
"Every year that goes by is a nail in the coffin for this property," Szewczyk said.

Difference between revisions of "Novgorod"
Revision as of 13:37, 3 September 2012
Novgorod (Russian: Великий Новгород Velikii Novgorod) is one of the oldest cities in Russia. It was first mentioned in the manuscripts as early as 859.
The city of Novgorod The Great (Novgorod Veliky) is located between Moscow and Saint Petersburg; its population is estimated at 230,000 people; it is one of the most culturally important cities in Russia.
Novgorod was first mentioned in the manuscripts as early as 859. Together with Kiev, Novgorod was a very important cultural, social and economical centre in Rus'.It was the capital of one of the first Europe democratys-veche,it was very modern way of managing state .Novgorod contained North West of Eurasia from Ingermanland autonomy till Jamal peninsula,until moscovitos in union with orda troops takin the reach novgorod and get it into Moscow control.After Moscow invasion Novgorod loost its freedom.
Get in
By plane
Novgorod Airport (IATA code: NVR) is currently not operational. It was a busy airport during USSR, but then, due to country's economical situation, had to cease its operations. It reopened in 1998 with a daily flight to Moscow's Sheremetyevo I (on Yak-40 fleet). This charter flight also came to an end in late 1999. There were plans to open Krechevitsy as a civil airport for the 1150 Anniversary of the city, but the progress in not confirmed.
By train
Train schedules and conditions change very rapidly, without any official notices. Check in advance! The best way to get accurate up-to-date information is to visit the train station itself. Info online is very often outdated.
Train is usually the cheapest and most hassle-free way of getting to and from Novgorod. The station is located at the west end of the city center, within 15 minutes' walk of the Detinets (Kremlin). All trains and elektrichkas make a brief stop in Chudovo, where you can get out of the train and use a very unpleasantly dirty bathroom. When purchasing the ticket, check the duration of this stop. Also, while in Chudovo, beware of the gypsies and never talk to them!
From Saint Petersburg, two trains daily from Moskovskiy Vokzal terminal for suburban trains. The seats are not very comfortable, but there is a lot of leg-room space and the windows are there to enjoy the scenery. It is not allowed to smoke anywhere on the train.
By bus
Several buses run daily from Saint Petersburg Bus Terminal to Novgorod, with a travel time of about 3.5 hours. Buses to Moscow run only during the summertime, but the trip is long and inconvenient.
Get around
By bus
Novgorod has both bus and trolleybus systems. Running approximately every 5 minutes, buses and trolleybuses will get you to every part of the city.
By cab
Like almost everywhere else in Russia, you can wave your arm and a car will stop to take you anywhere in town. You can cross the whole centre for 80 rubles ($3 US).
By foot
Novgorod is a walking-friendly city, and if you like long walks, everything in the city is within walking distance. The advantage is also that you have a chance to see the beautiful architecture of the city.
Souvenirs, particularly wooden handicrafts and birch-bark paintings, can be found at many locations, including the souvenir market on Sennaya Square (to one's right as one faces the Kremlin from Sofiyskaya Square and the Lenin Statue).
Honey mead is a local favorite.

Bink's F-1: 2005 Ford F-150 Supercrew 2WDPosted in Features on July 1, 2012
In the dirt, form follows function. Brian Binkert of Bink Designs purchased this 2005 F-150 Supercrew brand new, planning to use it as a daily driver. Desert duty wasn't the truck's primary role back then, so Brian installed a lowering kit along with a set of 22-inch Foose wheels. It was perfect for the pavement.
A pavement truck that stays on the pavement never has an identity crisis and rarely gets damaged. The trouble is that Brian's business, Bink Designs, takes him to off-road events including desert races, short-course races, and informal gatherings in the dirt. As a slammed street cruiser, Bink's F-1 was getting stuck or getting parked whenever dirt was involved. Something had to be done.
Even though his truck needed a re-do for the dirt, Brian had a working, driving vehicle: reliable transportation. Planning down time is tough, so it was somewhat serendipitous when he lost control in the rain and slammed the front into a brick wall. Down time—and a rebuild—had come a-knockin'!
The brick wall had hit the Supercrew hard, destroying the front clip and tweaking the front of the frame. A visit to a frame shop smoothed out the structural wrinkles, but the '05 front clip needed to be completely replaced. Since the truck was being rebuilt as a desert truck, replacing the stock sheet metal didn't make sense. A Fiberwerx 2009-and-newer conversion clip, with its wider coverage and larger fender openings, was a natural choice. This was a perfect time to re-skin the bed to match the front. To that end, a pair of Fiberwerx flared bedsides was installed. The rest of the stock bed was retained, right down to the functional tailgate.
In place of the lowering kit, you'll find a Brenthel Industries long-travel kit up front these days, damped by Fox coilover and bypass shocks. Out back, the F-1 has been returned to stock, but plans are in the works for long-travel Deaver leaf springs and another pair of Fox shocks.
For the finishing touch, Brian went with a color scheme that sets the truck apart yet remains on the subtle side. This is no rolling billboard, and that's a good thing.
Down time is hard to plan around, especially if your off-road truck is also your daily driver. We don't recommend the "brick wall" approach to rebuild scheduling, but Bink's F-1 shows what can happen when opportunity comes knocking, and knocks hard. Once slammed for the street, it's now dialed for the dirt.

"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare,†Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

Bhopal disaster, chemical leak in 1984 in the city of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh state, India. At the time, it was called the worst industrial accident in history.
On December 3, 1984, about 45 tons of the dangerous gas methyl isocyanate escaped from an insecticide plant that was owned by the Indian subsidiary of the American firm Union Carbide Corporation. The gas drifted over the densely populated neighbourhoods around the plant, killing thousands of people immediately and creating a panic as tens of thousands of others attempted to flee Bhopal. The final death toll was estimated to be between 15,000 and 20,000. Some half a million survivors suffered respiratory problems, eye irritation or blindness, and other maladies resulting from exposure to the toxic gas; many were awarded compensation of a few hundred dollars. Investigations later established that substandard operating and safety procedures at the understaffed plant had led to the catastrophe. In 1998 the former factory site was turned over to the state of Madhya Pradesh.
In the early 21st century more than 400 tons of industrial waste were still present on the site. Neither the Dow Chemical Company, which bought out the Union Carbide Corporation in 2001, nor the Indian government had properly cleaned the site. Soil and water contamination in the area was blamed for chronic health problems and high instances of birth defects in the area's inhabitants. In 2004 the Indian Supreme Court ordered the state to supply clean drinking water to the residents of Bhopal because of groundwater contamination. In 2010 several former executives of Union Carbide's India subsidiary—all Indian citizens—were convicted by a Bhopal court of negligence in the disaster. Continued corporate and government mishandling of the disaster sparked decades of protests by victims and others.

How Big A Problem Is Blog Plagiarism?

One major difference is that the site Om is specifically complaining about is taking his content without crediting him -- which is a more reasonable complaint, but not quite what everyone seems to be talking about. However, when that's happened to Techdirt we've discovered two things -- and both suggest that all this debate is a waste of time. First, when we shoot off a quick email to the sites asking for proper credit, we almost always hear back with an apology, from some "new" blogger who isn't quite sure how it all works, and they usually fix things right away and start giving us credit. It helps, by the way, that we first thank them for finding our content valuable enough to reuse, and then ask nicely for proper credit. However, much more importantly, the sites that (1) don't credit properly and (2) don't respond to such emails almost always disappear within a month. Why? Because no one reads them. Who goes out and finds some nameless site that's obviously reposting content? The people who would find such content interesting almost definitely are reading the original sources, and will know immediately that the site in question is ripping people off. So, the complaints that these sites are "taking money" from the original sites is probably bogus as well. They're not taking money away because no one's reading those sites.

Question: I was raised Catholic, but I have been married twice, divorced and then lived with a woman. I now live alone and my Catholic friends tell me to return to the Catholic Church. I do lots of unpaid volunteer work. Is that good enough to go to heaven if I die suddenly? What should I do?
Answer: Your friends are right, return to the Catholic Church. What this means, practically, is you should go to confession and resume receiving holy Communion. In situations like yours, where one has been away from the Church for some time and struggled to live some of the teachings (in this case, holy matrimony), you would do well to meet with your parish priest or some other priest your friends can recommend. It is often fruitful to spend some time discussing your life and struggles in the context of a longer confession and/or a counseling session with a priest. In order to make a good confession, you must bring with you a purpose of amendment to live a chaste life and follow the teachings of the Church on holy matrimony. Perhaps the priest can discuss these with you, help you understand your struggles of the past and assist you with the proper vision going forward.
Regular prayer, the word of God, sacraments and walking in fellowship with the Church are essential to finding our way through the desert of this world to the promised land of heaven.
As for good works, we cannot purchase, as it were, forgiveness from God. Thus, good works cannot replace true repentance and returning to Christ, whose mercy is free. However, good works can reflect a repentant heart and help to cleanse us from our sinful tendencies. So you are commended and encouraged to continue in the good works you have undertaken! May God bless you and your journey back into the practice of the Faith.
Question: You recently wrote that Adam and Eve are (theologically) considered the first human beings. And though God gave them rational souls, he may have developed the physical aspect of man through evolution. However, some of the hominids that precede Homo sapiens seem to have some rational tendencies, such as burying the dead and fashioning tools. Does this mean their brains were developed enough to know values such as right and wrong?
Answer: Exactly what they "knew" is somewhat speculative. Even some nonrational animals today show signs of social behaviors such as organized hunting, etc. Reward and punishment can also condition animal behavior. However, this does not mean they are engaging in moral reasoning or accessing metaphysical concepts such as justice and right and wrong. Further, moral reasoning and accountability presuppose freedom. We do not presuppose freedom in nonrational animals, and thus we do not hold them morally accountable for their actions.
It was probably the same with these early hominids. Anthropologists will properly debate the "emergence" of the rational intellect and moral reasoning within their field, but theologically, we posit the beginnings of this with the direct creation of the rational souls of Adam and Eve, prescinded from matters of brain development, etc.

The Hardeeville Community Library needs an expansion, but plans for a new building are on hold. Blueprints for a 4,500-square-foot library have been drawn by Spivey and Woods Architects of Charleston, but the library project lacks funding.
In January, a grant application to the South Carolina Department of Commerce through the Lowcountry Council of Government for Community Development Block Grant was turned down. City Council plans to resubmit an application.
Hardeeville City Manager Bob Nanni said the city will request $500,000 for the library building. The new cost estimate for the library project is $1.85 million because of water damage and drainage issues.
A search for the location for a new library also is under way.
One of the reasons the original grant was denied was because plans called for the new library to be on the same property as the Heyward House. The library will have to be a stand-alone project and cannot be combined with the Heyward House, Nanni said.
"Through our Finance Director Chanel Lewis, we have submitted a letter that is required before we receive an application for the library grant," Nanni said. "The letter was acknowledged and the application process will take place in-house on Sept. 17 with the help of the Lowcountry Council of Government and Barbara Johnson."
In order to get the grant, Lewis said there is a list of guidelines that have to be met.
"We are getting all the pieces together to apply for this grant, which includes the cost estimates, location and making sure we can match the cost," Lewis said.
The Friends of the Hardeeville Library support a new building. In April, the Friends held a successful book sale as a fundraiser.
Mary Horton, president of the group, said there is money in the bank, but it is not nearly enough.
"We've held fundraisers and written grant applications that were denied," Horton said. "But I've been promised by the city manager that we are applying for more grants knowing what we've learned to become reality. But where we are right now is not a reality."
Horton said without donations or grants she doesn't see the possibility of a new library becoming reality. The Friends of Hardeeville Library met Tuesday to discuss upcoming fundraisers and ways to raise awareness of the need. The next fundraiser will be a dunking booth at the Hardeeville Catfish Festival on Sept. 14. Participants will have the chance to dunk local politicians, Horton said.
Students from the new charter school, Royal Live Oaks Academy, visited the library recently, but could only have 10 students in the building at one time since the maximum capacity is 18 people.
"The Hardeeville Library is a cozy setting for reading and research," said Karen Wicks, executive director of Royal Live Oaks Academy. "We appreciate having this resource so close to Royal Live Oaks Academy, but it would be a great help to have a larger facility with additional resources so that we could take a whole class or more of RLOA students there to expand their horizons."

Look at that - the wedding announcement for my paternal grandparents, Mildred Loraine Gunzendorfer and Sigmund Levy! I found this little gem folded in the original envelope and just ready for mailing, even if it is nearly 100 years later.
My grandmother apparently hated the name Mildred and always used her middle name - looks like she hated it enough to leave it off of her wedding announcement.
The engagement wasn't a long one as I found the newspaper article announcing their engagement in the San Francisco Chronicle, November 10, 1918. In my treasures I've also found many, many letters of congratulations from their various friends.
|Loraine Gunzendorfer
|Sigmund Levy
I also found some newspaper articles tossed in with the pile of photos I have. I have no idea of the dates or the newpaper(s) they were printed in but here's a sample of one of them.
It's so fun to find these treasures - it takes me back to another time and makes the stories of my ancestors so real.
Congratulations Sig and Loraine!

Ceramic Figures from 1979
2 comments:
Those figures were made by a company called Price. My understanding is that they made 10 different pieces. In addition to those three, I personally own an Elmer, a Yosemite Sam, and a Daffy. I agree the Wile E. is really nice looking. The Daffy is pretty good too although slightly too large for the rest of the set.
In the same year, Price also released 10 ceramic/bisque bells. Each bell was white with a sitting character acting as the handle.
Price also created at least 3 musical bisques. These were the type that you wind and they spin around while playing a tune. The ones I know of each had a pair of characters in mid chase: Porky & Daffy, Bugs & Elmer, and Wile E. & the Road Runner.

I recently found and purchased a 12 " high
Sylvester the Cat holding Tweety Bird
behind his back. I found it at the Flea Market
in Albuquerque New Mexico. I was wondering
if there were any more figurines of this size
to be found, and I'm finding that they are rare
in this size. Let me know if you know of a website
to buy any more of these. Thank you.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A man who shot two U.S. Embassy employees in a Caracas strip club has been convicted of attempted murder by a Venezuelan court and sentenced to 5 ½ years in prison.
The chief prosecutor's office said in a statement that Carlos Mejias was convicted of shooting Paul Marwin and Roberto Rosas, both of whom worked in the embassy's military attache's office.
A second Venezuelan, Windy Fabiani, was accused of being an accessory to attempted murder. His case is pending.
The prosecutor's office says Mejias and Fabiani had "a discussion" with the Americans that led to a firearm being drawn and both Americans being shot in May. Police at the time said there was a brawl.
U.S. officials said neither victim sustained life-threatening wounds. They have refused to offer further details.

Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw Bring Live Country to Las Vegas: Concert Review
It's power ballads, bombast and banter by way of Nashville as a solo Twain takes up at Caesars while marrieds McGraw and Hill move into the Venetian.
This story first appeared in the Jan. 10, 2013 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
"Man! I feel like a Woman!" Shania Twain has famously declared in song. The country music industry is having a harder time saying the same right now. Females represent not even a quarter of Billboard's country airplay top 30, and the gals that do break through the biceps ceiling tend to trade on an image of rambunctious extended girlhood. To long for a more mature leading lady in the genre is to indulge in late-'90s nostalgia.
So what's a country diva-lover to do? As Faith Hill suggested back on her second album, exercising greater premonitory powers than she could have imagined: "Let's Go to Vegas." That oldie is the opening number each night as she and her bulkier half, husband Tim McGraw, play The Venetian. A long half-block down the boulevard, Twain has just settled into a residency at Caesars Palace.
PHOTOS: Academy of Country Music Awards Red Carpet Arrivals
Neither one of these shows is half as stripped down as the three-year Vegas engagement Garth Brooks wrapped this fall, playing each night with just his acoustic guitar. With Twain and Hill, you want costume changes, and by God, costume changes you will get. (McGraw, for his part, does fine with a single suit, tie and hat.) But each takes a stab at Garth-style conversational intimacy.
Still, balancing NashVegas bombast and quiet, personal moments can feel a little schizo. Twain arrives via flying motorcycle in a glittery Marc Bouwer bodysuit that leaves nothing about the 47-year-old's workout regimen to the imagination and makes two entrances -- in gowns -- on horseback, but once she gets chatty with the crowd, the Canadian expat comes off as a folksy charmer.
The vocal problems that, along with her divorce, conspired to keep her away from performing for the past eight years are evident at times, which might explain why the show's two big ballads, "From This Moment On" and "You're Still the One," appear to be lip-synched, unlike the rest of the evening's efforts. But charisma and the crowd's good faith smooth over any rough edges, as does the pop-tastic durability of the feminist-bubblegum classics she and ex-husband Mutt Lange concocted during the '90s. Much of the first half has Twain doing her earliest and country-est songs on a saloon set, along with a host of male dancers whose leaps suggest a live staging of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. That might be the kind of imagery Nashville would like to move past, yet it's nice to see Twain exercise her inner goofball. There also is a campfire segment in which audience members are brought up for a hootenanny that includes an unlikely acoustic version of "Rock This Country" before things go glam again just in time to send the crowd out into Caesars' fake Rome.
STORY: Shania Twain Rides into Vegas -- With 40 Horses
Hill and McGraw advertised their engagement by assuring we'd see a lot more of them together than we ever did on their previous Soul2Soul arena tours. They only partly live up to that vow, as much of the show consists of a tag-team approach that has the marrieds changing places every two or three numbers. It's hard to complain about that when Hill is powering through her signature ballads "Breathe" and "Cry" or when McGraw is bounding through the floor level doing an arena-rock-worthy "Felt Good on My Lips." But one soul at a time wasn't what we were promised. After kicking off with "Let's Go to Vegas," it was 10 tunes in before the opening-weekend crowd got another true duet, on the weeper "Like We Never Loved at All."
There's a seated, talky segment that feels a little like a press-less press conference, but these two give good banter, not all of it scripted. "The kitchen, the pantry and the laundry room," said McGraw when Hill posed one of the mildly ribald questions fans most want the answer to. Things really got electric when the two sat down with their faces inches apart for a duet of the simmering ballad "I Need You," which unexpectedly turned out to be the show's climax, subdued as it was.
Maybe after that, these two just really do need to get a room every night.

Revision as of 12:23, 10 August 2011
RVM (Ruby Version Manager) is a command line tool which allows us to easily install, manage and work with multiple Ruby environments from interpreters to sets of gems.
- 1 Installing RVM
- 2 Post installation
- 3 Using RVM
- 4 Further Reading
- 5 Troubleshooting
Installing RVM
The install process is very easy, and is the very same for any distro, including ArchLinux. You have two choices, one system-wide, another as a user. The first is for production servers, or if your are alone on your machine. You'll need root privileges. The second is the recommended for multiple users on the same machine (like a development test box). If you don't know which to choose, start with a single user installation.
The upstream instructions for installing RVM should just work. The install script is aware enough to tell you what packages you need to install on Archlinux to make different rubies work. This usually involves gcc and some other stuff needed to compile ruby.
As an observation, installing RVM with gem is not recommended anymore. This article uses the recommended documentation with minor tweaks to make work on ArchLinux.
Before we start, we'll need the following to get the installation process going:
$ pacman -S git curl
User installation
We will use the script that rvm docs recommends to install. Make sure to run this script as the user for whom you want RVM installed (i.e. your normal user that you use for development).
$ bash < <( curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm )
If instead you want to check the script before running it, do:
$ curl -L https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm > rvm-install
Inspect the file, then run it with:
$ bash < ./rvm-install
After the script has finished, then add the following line to the end of your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zprofile or whatever):
$ [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
System-wide installation
System-wide installation is a similar procedure to the single user install. However, instead we run the install script as root. Become root, then do:
# bash < <( curl -L https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm )
After the script has finished, add this to the end of /etc/profile (or put it in a separate file in /etc/profile.d/):
[[ -s '/usr/local/lib/rvm' ]] && source '/usr/local/lib/rvm'
Post installation
After the installation, check everything worked with this command:
$ type rvm | head -n1
The response should be:
$ rvm is a function
If you receive rvm: not found, you may need to source your .bash_profile (or wherever you put the line above):
$ . ~/.bash_profile
Check if the rvm function is working:
$ rvm notes
Using RVM
The RVM documentation is quite comprehensive and explanatory. However, here are some RVM usage examples to get you started.
Installing an environment
To see what Ruby environments are available to install, run:
$ rvm list known
To install one, run:
$ rvm install
For example, to install Ruby 1.8.7 one would run the following command:
$ rvm install 1.8.7
This should download, configure and install Ruby 1.8.7 in the place you installed RVM. For example, if you did a single user install, it will be in ~/.rvm/rubies/1.8.7.
Switching Environment
To switch from one environment, to another simply run:
$ rvm use
For example to switch to Ruby 1.8.7 one would run the following command:
$ rvm 1.8.7
You should get a message telling you the switch worked. It can be confirmed by running:
$ ruby --version ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i686-linux]
Note that this environment will only be used in the current shell. You can open another shell and select a different environment for that one in parallel. Also, the default environment will be the system ruby in /usr. This can be changed using RVM if you wish; for more details consult the RVM documentation.
Listing Ruby Environments
To see all installed Ruby environments, run the following command:
$ rvm list
If you've installed a few rubies, this might generate a list like so:
rvm Rubies jruby-1.5.0 [ [i386-java] ] => ruby-1.8.7-p249 [ i386 ] ruby-1.9.2-head [ i386 ] System Ruby system [ i386 ]
The ASCII arrow indicates which environment is currently enabled. In this case, it is Ruby 1.8.7. This could be confirmed by running:
$ ruby --version ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i686-linux]
RVM update
Simply use:
$ rvm update
Revert the default ruby to system ruby
If you want to use the system ruby, i.e. the one installed in /usr by the standard Archlinux package, run
$ rvm use system
Further Reading
This is just a simple introduction to switching ruby versions with RVM. There is lots more that you can do with it, including managing different set of gems in different environments. For more information, consult the very comprehensive RVM documentation. This page is a good place to start.
You'll need to take care with rvm installations, since ArchLinux is very well updated, and some earlier ruby's patchlevels don't like it. RVM many times don't choose the latest patchlevel version to install, and you'll need to check manually on the ruby website, and force RVM to install it.
Ruby 1.8.x won't compile with RVM
This is a known issue on Arch Linux, and is caused by a problem with openssl. Arch uses openssl 1.0, lower patchlevels of 1.8.7 assumes 0.9.
You can use newer patchlevels, like p299 or newer with:
$ rvm remove 1.8.7 $ rvm install 1.8.7-p299
Another approach is to install local openssl via RVM:
$ rvm pkg install openssl $ rvm remove 1.8.7 $ rvm install 1.8.7 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
Ruby 1.9.x won't compile with RVM
Like with 1.8.x, earlier patchlevels don't like the OpenSSL 1.0. Then you can use the very same solution above, by installing openssl locally on RVM.
$ rvm pkg install openssl $ rvm remove 1.9.1 $ rvm install 1.9.1 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/./rvm/usr

Nutrition During Interferon
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My brother has been diagnosed with melanoma, stage four. I will be his caregiver when he has his 30 days of Interferon. I know he will be very sick. I would like to know what foods we should stay away from and what I should include in his diet. Any suggestions on what to feed him and should he be taking a multivitamin?
Ellen Sweeney Cordes, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Interferon treatment can cause side effects they may decrease your brother's appetite and tolerance for certain foods. Common side effects include dry and/or sore mouth, taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue. Obviously, any of these side effects can lead to decreased food intake and present a nutrition challenge for the patient and caregiver. The nutritional goal through cancer treatment is to maintain weight and protein stores as effectively as possible. There are no foods to avoid. It is important to provide your brother with any foods that appeal to him through this time, and the higher calorie and protein, the better.
With any appetite decrease, nausea, or fatigue, it is easier to achieve adequate calorie and protein intake by eating small, but frequent high protein and high calorie snacks or small meals (i.e. peanut butter or cheese and crackers, nuts, dried fruits, yogurt) throughout the day. This is usually better tolerated than three large meals per day. The use of nutritious liquid supplements in addition to solid foods is recommended as well if food intake is decreased. Liquid supplements such as Boost Plus or Ensure Plus are high in calories, protein and other nutrients and using one to three cans per day in addition to food intake can help your brother maintain his weight. Inclusion of a multi-vitamin is okay as long as it is a Centrum or One A Day type, supplying 100% of the DRI (or less) for most vitamins and minerals and not excessive amounts. Individual vitamin supplements of antioxidants (i.e. Vit C or E pills) are not recommended.
Adequate fluid intake is important. Approximately 48-64 ounces of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic fluid should be consumed daily. Additional fluid is needed if any diarrhea develops in order to maintain adequate hydration. More tips on managing the nutritional side effects of treatment are available through the OncoLink website, the American Cancer Society booklet, Nutrition for the Person with Cancer and the National Cancer Institute booklet, Eating Hints Before, During, and After Cancer Treatment. You may also want to request a nutrition consult for your brother through the cancer center he is treated to get further nutrition guidance.
