WAITSBURG — The Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office is investigating a string of burglaries in the Waitsburg and Walla Walla area in which thieves have absconded with tens of thousands of dollars of horse saddles and other tack.
"Historically, I don't think we've had a lot of saddles taken," Detective Gary Bolster said today. "Saddles are big and cumbersome, and fairly easily recognizable."
The most recent report came Friday, when Laura Minnick reported her tack room was burglarized. with nearly $16,000 of Western and English tack reported stolen.
Last week, county Commissioner Perry Dozier reported several saddles valued at roughly $12,000 were taken. According to police reports, the theft marked the second time Dozier's property was burglarized since August.
A Walla Walla resident, Alvino Mata, also reported horse tack stolen from a property on Old Milton Highway.
Undersheriff Edward Freyer said the thieves are likely not targeting horse tack, despite the common theme.
"It's probably just a target of opportunity," Freyer said.
According to reports, a theft of multiple firearms and jewelry from a property owned by Jack McCaw could be linked to the theft of the saddles.
According to Bolster, it is still too early to say if the thefts are all definitely linked. Bolster and Freyer both stressed he importance of community watch programs, and encouraged people to report suspicious activity.

Rustic Gardens
Rustic Container Gardening
There are many reasons to create a container garden. Container gardening is a good way to dabble in gardening without throwing all your time into it. Some common reasons why people choose to start a container garden are: Outdoor space limitations. Physical limitations – can't bend down or are wheelchair bound. Your patio or deck needs that extra something. You want fresh herbs in your kitchen for cooking. The soil in your yard is less than desirable. And the best reason … you have a pile of "treasures" you have collected at garages sales. I made this hanging planter above from a vintage funnel I picked up at a Flea Market. Almost anything that can hold soil can be used for container gardening. Just make sure you put drainage holes in the bottom to prevent soggy roots and rotting plants. The planter above is made from an old Chicken Feeder. It is sitting on an old sawhorse to give it more visibility in my garden. Continue reading

Sometimes, I break TV news that I am kinda blah about. It's like: Oh, another show about a family trying to survive the suburbs in their own kooky ways! Or, another show about a charming serial killers who takes down the weak and needy, cool! But in this case, I am elated. Beyond elated, even. I am giggling like a school girl who just found out its a snow day. Why? Because Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are getting their own HBO show. Let THAT sink in for a second.
The following is taken from a press release HBO just put out:
"In the series, directed by Foo Fighters founder Dave Grohl, the band taps into the musical heritage and cultural fabric of eight cities – Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, D.C. and New York – basing themselves at a legendary studio integral to the unique history and character of each location. One song was recorded in each city, with every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric was written in an unprecedented experimental style: Grohl held off on putting down words until the last day of each session in order to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
Each episode delves into the singular regional identity of each city – showing how each region shaped these musicians in their formative years, and in turn what impact those people had on the cultural fabric of their hometowns – ultimately celebrating their common bond. Every artist who appears in the show, regardless of genre or locale, started as an average kid with universal dreams of making music and making it big. Grohl's interviews with these musicians are integral to the show and the creation of the album, as is his chemistry with band mates Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear."
Dave Grohl is pretty much the coolest guy on the planet, and this sounds like it might just be the best show ever made. Well, maybe I am TOO into it, but you gotta admit that this sounds pretty awesome. Plus, when Dave Grohl gets his own HBO show, all is right with the world.

The show features contributions from Anni Altshuler, Glen Baldridge, Matt Furie, Michael Krueger, Nathan Haenlein, R.L. Tillman, Nathaniel Parsons, and Imin Yeh.
We gathered a selection of Emmons' work in the gallery above, but we think these need to be seen in person.

No (karate) kidding, Daniel-san: Nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood.
A year after Will Smith and his publicist shot down reports that the erstwhile Fresh Prince was working on a remake of Karate Kid starring son Jaden—"certainly not" was the official word—the project is now a go.
According to Variety, Columbia Pictures is waxing on for a remake of the 1984 classic, reworking it as a star vehicle for Jaden Smith, Will and Jada's 10-year-old progeny and his father's costar in The Pursuit of Happyness.
So as not to anger too many dojo loyalists, the new film will follow the formula of bullied youth meets eccentric mentor. Lending some Method to the remake madness, Jaden has already been schooled in martial arts.
The elder Smith is not expected to appear in the film, but will produce. Chris Murphy, the scribe of the original franchise, is writing the new take, which will film in Beijing next year.
The mentor role has yet to be cast. Pat Morita, who played sensei Mr. Miyagi to Ralph Macchio and, lest we forget, Hilary Swank in the original films, died in 2005.
In other casting news:
• America Ferrera knows what's in a name. The Ugly Betty thesp is set to star in and executive produce the big-screen drama American Tragic. Per Variety, the film centers on a young war vet who returns to the U.S. and sets off on a cross-country road trip with a friend in search of redemption. Ferrera plays his wife in the pic, set for a fall 2009 release.
• Burn After Reading's Richard Jenkins has signed on to star in Dear John, the latest big-screen adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, per the Hollywood Reporter. This time around, the would-be chick flick centers on a young soldier who meets his soul mate while on military leave. Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfriend star in the romantic drama, directed by Lasse Hallström.
• Whoopi Goldberg has signed a development deal with Discovery Networks with her production company Whoop Inc. Per Variety, at least one of Goldberg's ideas must be greenlighted to series for the Investigation Discovery and Science Channel.

CORBIN, Ky (WYMT) - US News and World Report ranks schools across the country based on things like state test scores and student to teacher ratios. This year, Corbin High School came out close to the top. CHS ranked 12th in the commonwealth.
in Steve Jewell's Anatomy and Physiology class, Thursday was dissection day. Jewell said the day's lesson is about so much more than making sure kids can pass a test.
"I see so many kids go to college and they do not know, or even have a plan or an idea of, what they are doing," said Jewell.
College and Career Readiness is a category schools are judged on nowadays. In other words, high schools are evaluated based on how well they prepare students for life after graduation.
At Corbin High School, they received high marks for preparing their students for wherever life takes them next.
"We dissect large animals whether it is cats or pigs, just different things. If they cannot handle those things, and they have an aspiration of going into a health career or certain things, then they can make some logical decisions before they get to colleges," said Jewell.
Assistant Principal Nicole Brock said it is that approach that puts their students on the path to success.
"When people walk through the building and say 'Why is your culture different', it is because no matter what their socioeconomic background is we have that same expectation," said Brock.
In addition to preparing students for college, the high school also performed well on state tests. Brock said she knows that means the Redhounds represent their region proudly.
"When they say that they have graduated with a Corbin High School diploma that that removes that stereotype. People know what Corbin is, but they are the same student. They are southeastern Kentucky," said Brock.
Corbin High School is not the only one in our region getting recognition for their achievements. Southwestern High School in Somerset ranked 20th on that same list.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for February 2012.
Well this is it for a few weeks as I will be off tomorrow and will possibly not be able to post for a while as I may not have much internet access in China – am planning to create a 'My time in China' page when I get back to upload all my pics to – to add to 'My Time In Nepal' page, slowly I will be adding more exotic destinations to this little old blog!
I have been working on Spring Ornie exchange stitching for the last couple of weeks but thought I would share the finish from a while ago. I have been working on some Spring Ornies for me, inspired by the nicer weather we have had recently.
This is another one of the Quaker ones from The Workbasket site, once again stitched on sparkly evenweave and with my favourite Silk Mill thread and some little beads.The backing fabric I have had in my stash for a while.
This is a close up of the stitching, my new camera is so good at these sort of things!
And this is the backing.
Well I hope that you all have a lovely time while I am gone – take care and thanks for visiting.
I am posting this early as I will be away in a few days so Jake has strict instructions to upload this post to the link on Kathy's blog so you can all see it. Most of these pics were taken in Spain again. This completes a year of taking pics for the Scavenger Hunt and I am still really enjoying it, I love taking pics and get very excited when I get something good for one of the words!
Lots of the Spanish houses have beautiful ceramic house number tiles so here is a number 5 from my street.
This is on one of the roads I cycle along in Spain, the local council have recently fenced the road and painted the fence in multicoloured blocks with lots of musical notes along it, no-one seems to know why this feature has been chosen but it looks very pretty.
Not strictly a train but a train track and station. I took a couple of quite boring train pics which I was planning to use then came across this model railway on one of my cycle trips in Spain which was in someone's front garden! It was a large layout about 10 feet in total with a little model village as well as this train station. I can only imagine the owner has a very understanding wife!
This was really hard as there are so many things that I love, my kids, my family, Spain, camping, travel, embroidery but I decided that I would post about something I have not posted before. The first thing I fell in love with would have to be reading and I still think books are the most marvellous thing. One of the great things about being on holiday is the amount of reading I do and this was the pile of literary love that I treated myself to at the airport – they were wonderful and I read the whole pile in 3 days!
This was the only Cupid I saw in the whole month, not a very good pic but from a local shop window.
Sandwiches Spanish style – the lunch that Mum and I shared on our trip to Elche.
The road down to the beach on one of my cycle rides.
In the sky
Nothing but blue! Taken from my terrace on Feb 13th.
A picture of a crowded lemon tree taken on one of my bike rides.
How spectacular is this – the front door of the cathedral in Elche.
Black and White
The Spanish love ironwork on gates and balconies and this is from one of the neighbouring houses.
Leap Year
This is quite a boring pic but a very exciting event – on the 29th Feb Leap Year Day I will be flying to China for nearly 3 weeks with work. I am very, very excited as you can imagine and will of course take lots and lots of more exciting pics than this one!
Warning this is a very picture heavy post – look away if you are not into random exploration into photography or go and make a cup of tea if you have a slow internet collection while it all loads!
First of all I would like to say a very, very big thanks to you and you and you, in fact all 5, 476 of you that visited me last month! I was really impressed to find that when I checked my stats yesterday I have leapt from my average visits of around 4,500 per month which I have had for the past year to the stunning figure of nearly 5,500 last month.
I am thrilled (Jake is grudgingly impressed though cannot imagine why people would want to visit a blog about stitching, photos and Spain!) Now I know that lots of people arrive here by accident through a search for something else and maybe don't stay for long but I am very humbled by the fact that anyone comes here at all and love the fact that so many of you come back and comment and have become my bloggy friends.
I have had another very lovely week in Spain and have been indulging in some photography as well as an accidental fiesta.
It has become commonplace for me to just come across things happening when I go , we will just be visiting somewhere and something fab will be happening and this has become a bit of standing joke that not only do I get great weather for all my visits, ( I always say that God feels sorry for me because I live in Yorkshire whereas my Southern cousins sometimes get rain!), I also get events happening that we knew nothing about.
My last trip to Elche in October coincided with a wonderful medieval market and we visited the town last week only to find that they were preparing for a carnival at the weekend which we went back for on Saturday.
The reason for the carnival was not entirely clear, it was not a religious festival as far as we could work out and the people we spoke to said it was like Halloween, which we realised was more like the US version of Halloween than our UK one in that the point was to wear fancy dress of any sort (unlike our UK Halloween which is mainly witches etc) and have one great big street party involving brass bands and discos and general merriment.
Anyway we had a great evening watching and admiring the many costumes , early on the evening it was mainly children who were dressed up , princess costumes were a very clear winner with Snow White as the most popular but Minnie Mouse was a close second (she was also very popular with the adults later on).
Ellie would have loved it, being as you know a Disney Princess and a huge fancy dress fan, so maybe one day we can all go dressed up.We of course had to drink red wine and eat tapas in the little bars around the central square (just to be sociable you understand) and did not leave till about 11 – the rest of the town were due to carry on partying till 3!
There was a lovely mix of home-made and bought costumes and these pics give a flavour of that – I love the plastic cup hat and the robot got loads of pics taken. The band shot was just a random coming together of a group of people at one point before we left, love that about Spain – totally mad place but totally wonderful!
Elche is a very beautiful place with so much to see and its Palmeral (Palm Park) is a Unesco World Heritage site.
I have also been trying to take lots of lovely arty pics with the new camera that I got for Christmas which is very good (thanks kids!) and has very good definition for close up shots as well as a zoom lens that works (yey!) so have really enjoyed exploring all the different places.
Whenever I read things about painting and photography people often talk about the light being really good in places and I have never really understood what that meant. However after spending a lot of time taking pics in Spain I have realised that the colours and the way that the light reflects off the stone and the sea really changes the way that my little snaps look.
These three pics were taken down at the beach and the salinas (salt lakes) that are a bird reserve where I often go for a bike ride.
I come back with pics that have the most amazing blue sky in them and the contrast between that and the sea or the way the sun hits the stone is wonderful. The pics below are of the Basilica Santa Maria in Elche.
I have also taken a few close up shots of the great vegetation there is – this time not only a cactus from my terrace but beautiful ornamental cabbages surrounding a pool at the park in Elche.
I hope you have enjoyed the pics, I will be back at the weekend with my Scavenger Hunt pics for this month, I will be posting them early as I am off to China with work next week which will be very exciting!
Thanks for visiting and making a little blogger very happy!
Well we have a few more real ones this week but I am very pleased to say that the Winter Exchange ornie that I stitched has made its way safely to the USA to Dawn.
This was a design that I have had for a few years and have stitched before, this time on my favourite sparkly evenweave with Silk Mill thread over one. This was a surprisingly quick one to stitch – must be getting better at the fine count work!
I have also finished a Spring ornie for me from one of my Quaker designs – no pics as yet as I have been not been in much when it has been light.
I have had a very busy week not only catching up from after our visit from Ofsted but also preparing for my trip to China! I will be leaving for that in 18 days but meanwhile I am off to Spain for a week of sun, sea, sand and biking! Can't wait.
So have a lovely week and I will see you on my return. Thanks for visiting.
Well how are you all and are you lovely people in the UK snowed in yet? We have had small flurries on the hills all week and today the promised snow arrived with us – very timely as this morning I had a lovely parcel all the way from Australia (where of course there will not be any snow!) containing this wonderful ornie from Lisa V.
Lisa must know my tastes very, very well as what she stitched is perfect for me and as you can see looks very good hanging next to the little stocking on the doors with the snowflake stickers.It is Heritage Stitches design and is stitched on hand dyed Silkweaver fabric.
The snow was just starting when I took the above pic put we are nice and white now – good job I am holed up indoors tomorrow!
My exchange piece was sent this week to the USA and as soon as I hear that it has been delivered I will post pics of it.
I decided that I would make a Spring ornie for me this week rather than a Winter one as it had got a bit milder outside (the bulbs are all coming through in the garden) so have finished all the stitching on one of the Quaker Tree ornies that I mentioned last post. Just got to add beads and turn it into a little pillow ornie.
I will leave you with the some recent pics of Ellie on her nights out with friends Hannah and Becky – she did mention that there have been no pics of her for a while so will have to rectify that! The theme for one of the fancy dress nights was 'bugs'.
Hope you are all keeping warm (or cool!) depending where you are.
Take care and thanks for visiting.

FERGUSON, Mo. - Many protestors have taken time off of work to make their voices heard in Ferguson.
Some people used their vacation time to travel to Ferguson. Others decided they would go without pay if it allowed them to leave work early.
NewsChannel 5 spoke with one social worker who took time off to help any children along West Florissant deal with any trauma they might have experienced after witnessing any violence. Many protestors said they will continue to find a way to protest in Ferguson until they feel justice has been served.

Do you take pictures of yourself?
I remember when the feature was introduced into the iPhone that would allow you to switch views on the camera back toward yourself. It was so much easier than the "backwards selfie", with your arms and wrists all contorted, and never knowing how the shot would turn out.
If you asked me if I like selfies in general, I would probably tell you that I don't. Most of them are poorly done, with terrible lighting and with a dose of extra chins. I think it's a symptom of being the mom in the family…I'm often likely to take pictures of everybody else, and there are a ton of photos in our collection of Nate with Graham because I'm the one behind the lens most of the time.
As I went through our photo archive recently, I was happy to find that I actually do take quite a few photos of myself, especially with other people.
In no particular order, here are my favourite selfies from my collection.
The Spousal Selfie—Taken when you want to document an actual date with your actual spouse, away from your kids.
The Smoochie Selfie—Provided to your spouse when date night just isn't possible or when you just want to say, "I miss you!"
The rarely seen Glasses Selfie—Yup, I wear glasses. I bet you didn't know that, did you? It's because I rarely wear them for photographs, let alone selfies.
The Me and My Girlfriends Selfie—Often complete with awesome photobombs like this one from my friend Haley.
The Me and My Mom Selfie—Bringing parents and technology together!
The Family Selfie—Document those rare times when you're all out of the house together doing something fun!
The Mom and Kid Selfie—We send these to Graham at work regularly.
The Oh My God Jason Aldean is About to be Ten Feet from Us Selfie—This one is self-explanatory.
The Classic Selfie—It's a rare thing…the lighting is decent and you feel good about sharing it with others. It's my #CoverMoment, the moment I felt my most beautiful and empowered self and want to share it with the world.
To celebrate achieving my #CoverMoment, one lucky reader of Hearts into Home is going to win a CoverGirl gift pack including:
- COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara
- COVERGIRL TruBlend Foundation
- COVERGIRL TruMagic Skin Perfector
- COVERGIRL Lipslicks Smoochies Sizzle Gloss
How will you share your #CoverMoment?
Good luck!

Follow the money
EDITOR: I was disappointed to read the editorial in which you slammed Proposition 37 ("No on 37: Label this one over-regulation," Oct. 2). As someone who has studied and worked in agriculture, I would like to shed some light on the issue at hand.
The most striking fact is the cast of characters who are funding the more than $32 million campaign against Proposition 37. The top five donors are also five of the world's largest pesticide producers: Monsanto, Dupont, DOW AgroScience, Bayer Cropscience and BASF. The donors that follow are a who's who of the soda and junk-food isles: Pepsicola, ConAgra foods, Nestle, etc.
So why is all the money being thrown around by these corporations? All of the "farming" that produces the "food" sold by the very generous opponents of this initiative is done on a large-scale, high input system that requires intensive use of these companies' products (if you don't already know about "RoundUp ready" crops, please educate yourself).
This is not the kind of agriculture you see here in Sonoma County and not what Luther Burbank was striving for. Vote yes on Proposition 37 and support local agriculture, our land and your children's health.
Shifting positions
EDITOR: Columnist David Brooks outlined a nice plan for politicians to go from running for office to being in office ("Shifting from partisanship to craftsmanship," Wednesday). Brooks suggests a man must be flexible. Brooks shared his view that President Barack Obama was not flexible enough. I wonder if Brooks thinks that changing positions on most of the important issues during a campaign in order to get your party's nomination gives one the practice necessary to make that great transition. If so, I am sure he will vote for Mitt Romney.

Building a Better World
For more than 65 years, the Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada (CDF) has been mobilizing resources — mostly from Canadian co-ops and credit unions — to make the world a better place. For much of that time, CDF has worked with the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) and other partners to help poor communities fight poverty and create more secure lives through community-owned co-ops in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
In 2012, CDF launched its most ambitious fundraising campaign to date. Tapping into the theme and enthusiasm of the UN's International Year of Co-operatives, the Build a Better World Campaign set out to raise $12 million over a four year period. The campaign already recorded some excellent results with more than $6 million donated or pledged, more than 60 new organizational donors and more than 1,300 individuals signing on.
Over the life of the campaign, CDF staff and volunteers will be working hard to maintain that momentum. The needs in the developing world are great, but CDF has an effective solution to offer – locally owned and managed co-operatives and credit unions.
Co-operatives improve family income which means education for children, better food, shelter and clothing for poor people. Your donation creates new opportunities for women to learn and to earn, and the stronger, healthier, more prosperous communities that co-operatives help to create have fewer tensions and less conflict.
Be part of this important campaign. Every donation matters!

Wordstock 2011
I learned that the written story is what has helped make America, America.
Wordstock, the largest annual NW literary festival, needed a campaign to fit their 2011 theme of America.
As art director, I developed this concept to accompany our group's idea that "Words Make America." Each poster represented a different book and author that would be featured at the festival.

An Episcopal priest now engaged in a nationwide ministry of preaching and teaching, Fleming Rutledge is author of And God Spoke to Abraham: Preaching from the Old Testament, a collection of fifty-five Old Testament sermons ideal for both homiletical and devotional use. In the following sermon, excerpted from the book, Rutledge explores the Genesis account of God's covenant with Abraham.
Many people are attracted to anything that is ancient, primitive, primordial. I've always envied a man named John Noble Wilford. He writes articles about archaeology for The New York Times. Everybody around him at the paper is writing articles about collapsing banks, Ponzi schemes, drug cartels, suicide bombings, and other features of modern life, while Wilford writes about the tombs of Pharaohs, ancient lost palaces, Neolithic caves, and other cool topics that take us out of the mundane daily round into a realm of adventure and discovery. The sense of being connected with ancient civilizations casts a potent spell. My mother and I once took a trip to the region of France where we were able to see some of the famous cave paintings from the Stone Age. I'll never forget the sensation I had as we stood in the narrow corridors and imagined those remote ancestors, carrying their rudimentary torches into the frightening blackness of the uninhabited caverns in order to draw their beautiful pictures, with greatest difficulty and without live models. I was stunned by the sense of kinship I felt with the prehistoric artists.
Wilford accompanied a group of fossil hunters into the Gobi Desert. He wrote that hunting fossils is "grinding, gritty work," and yet there is a glamour about it for those who have the tenacity to endure it. He describes an evening around a campfire after a day of successful digging. "Away from the fire, [our] voices fade into a night of silences . . . the sky is awash with stars, whole galaxies of them spilling down to the horizon. . . . Fossil prospecting is primordial, hand-and-knee stuff [and] our fire is primordial too. . . . Sitting before the flames, our backs to the enveloping darkness, we are not far removed from the Stone Age hunters. At night they must have sat around fires exulting in the success of the hunt, happy in their survival to hunt another day. It is much the same with us." I can't speak for you, but that account gives me goosebumps.
You are about to hear one of the most remarkable passages in the entire Old Testament, from Genesis 15:2
The word of the Lord came to Abraham in a vision, "Fear not, Abraham, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." But Abraham said, "O Lord, I continue childless. . . . You have given me no offspring." And behold, the Lord brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and count the stars, if you are able to count them. Your descendants shall be as many as the stars." And the Lord said to Abraham, "I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess." But Abraham said, "O Lord, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" And God said, "Bring me a heifer, a goat, a ram, a turtledove, and a pigeon." And Abraham brought him all these, cut them in two, and laid each half over against the other. And when birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abraham drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abraham; and lo, a great dread fell upon him. And when the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates. . . ."
When I first studied this extraordinary text, it made my hair stand on end in the same way as the trip into the Neolithic caves. In this passage from Genesis, a ceremony is described which is of such great antiquity that one has the sense of going back as far as it is possible to go in biblical history. In this passage, we are in touch with a tradition so old that even the most skeptical interpreters agree that it originated in the time of the patriarchs, two thousand years before Christ. Few portions of the Hebrew scriptures meet the critical test quite so well as this one; it bears the marks of time immemorial. It carries with it a feeling of awe and mystery which still grips the reader over the millennia.
At the beginning of Genesis 15, we discover Abraham in his tent at night, a very old man with an elderly, barren wife and not a single legitimate child. He has been trekking through the Near East for decades, trusting in a promise for which there was no evidence whatsoever. We can hardly blame Abraham for complaining to God that he was having a hard time trying to believe that he was going to have an heir who would be a blessing to all the nations of the earth. God is patient with Abraham's skepticism; he leads the old man out through the tent flaps into the desert night. Imagine it: "The sky is awash with stars, whole galaxies of them spilling down to the horizon." And God says to Abraham, "Look toward heaven, and count the stars, if you are able. So shall your descendants be."
Now we come to the eerie part of the story. When it is still daylight, God instructs Abraham to bring three animals and two birds. Abraham slaughters them according to the ritual traditions of that primitive time. Then he cuts each of them in half, and lays out the pieces in two rows, one portion of halves over here, the other halves opposite, forming an alley in between. This ritual is said to survive in some form in the Middle East even today. It was the first step in a very ancient covenant-making ceremony. After the carcasses were laid out, the second step was the two covenant partners passing through the bloody passageway as a sign of solemn commitment to one another. The point of this was that, if either partner violated the terms of the covenant, he was leaving himself open to suffering the fate of the slaughtered animals: "Thus let it be done to me if I ever break the terms of this compact."
Abraham did all the things he was told to do, and then, not knowing what would come next, he waited. Buzzards began to come down to eat the carcasses, and Abraham kept busy driving them away. As evening draws near and darkness begins to fall over the strange scene, the biblical narrator begins to cast his spell with the extraordinary economy, emotional reserve, and narrative skill for which Old Testament storytelling is admired around the world. "As the sun was going down," we read, "a deep sleep fell on Abram, and lo, a dread and great darkness fell upon him." That is all we are told of Abraham's state of mind; the psychological details that interest modern people are omitted. All the emphasis is on the solemnity of the event that is about to occur, the action of God, which causes the human being to feel dread:
And it came to pass that when the sun had gone down, it was dark. And behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces. And on that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates. . . ."
We should pause for a moment and let the narrative have its way with us before we move to interpretation. We feel something of the awe and dread that Abraham felt as he waited for — he knew not what. We sense the darkness coming on, and we are aware of the spookiness of the dead animals laid out in preparation for some sort of solemn covenant. We feel the impotence of Abraham, a truly aged man with no strength left in his loins, performing yet another task at God's behest but altogether unable to imagine what it might mean or where it might lead. We note that once Abraham has laid out the pieces and driven off the vultures, there is nothing more for him to do without a signal from God. And so Abraham falls into a profound sleep.
Now, recall the purpose of the bloody passageway. If the two partners making the covenant are equals, they will each pass through. That will be a sign from one to the other, both of them, that they intend to keep their covenant or else call down a curse upon themselves. However, if one partner greatly outranks the other, then only the weaker partner would be required to pass through — it begins to sound like a ceremony of initiation, like a Mafia ritual, doesn't it? The suspense in the story is built up with utmost simplicity, but it's palpable; the atmosphere as night falls over the bloody alley is heavy with foreboding. Human activity, human wishing, human willing has come to an end; indeed, the human agent has fallen asleep. The only actor remaining on the stage is God.
And then, in the darkness, Abraham awakens from his premonitory sleep and he sees — what does he see? Behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch move through the aisle of blood. It is the living presence of God.
And in that ceremony, we read, God made a covenant with Abraham. The Creator of the universe has come down into the human story and has bound himself in blood to his mortal creatures. He has condescended to us. But do you get the amazing revelation here, the missing piece that means everything? God passes through the bloody alley. Abraham does not. Abraham does not do anything. The Lord alone passes through, acting in the role of the weaker party. God has made God's own self the vulnerable partner in the covenant. In this extraordinary event, God attaches himself unconditionally to his fallen human creatures and ratifies his commitment unilaterally. God has invoked the bloody curse upon God's own self.
This, indeed, is a story to raise the hairs on our head. There is nothing else like this in the history of religion: the Almighty Lord of the universe enters into a relationship with his chosen human partner under the conditions of human liability. Here in the opening pages of the story of salvation, God lays himself open to the full consequences of everything that will come after: the disobedience, the idolatry, the folly, the greed and cruelty, the vanity and selfishness, the pride and deceit that fill the following pages of the Bible. The world had never seen anything in religion like this before. In the ancient world, the gods were arbitrary and capricious. Therefore the unconditional nature of the covenant that God made with Abraham sets religion on "a bold, new, independent course." Our inheritance from the Hebrew Bible represents, intellectually and morally, a decisive break with primitive religious thought.
And so you know how the story continues with the birth of Abraham and Sarah's son, Isaac, and how it comes to its appointed culmination two thousand years later, when God keeps his word and takes the bloody curse upon himself. After the people of God have flagrantly disregarded their part in the covenant for thousands of years, God at last steps forward and, on a hill outside Jerusalem, ratifies the covenant for once and for all in the blood of his Son. The fiery presence of Yahweh in the midnight spectacle of the bloody alley becomes the pouring out of the last drop of blood of the Son of God.
Every single one of us here today, no matter how prosperous and glossy we may look, is carrying some sort of baggage. Human life is a bloody affair. If it is not the blood of war and murder, it is the blood of illness and death. If it is not literally blood, it is the burden of disappointment, doubt, anxiety, depression, fear. Some of us hide our inner conflicts more or less successfully behind a polished surface; others are publicly betrayed by the outward and visible signs of inadequacy, decline, failure, disgrace. We must lie down, wrote the poet Yeats, "where all the ladders start/In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart."
Here indeed is the link between ourselves and our Stone Age ancestors, between the Hebrews of old and ourselves of today, between yourself and your neighbor in the next pew. Here is the link. We are all terminally afflicted with the human condition, incapable of making or keeping any kind of agreement with a righteous God. Here is the news today: it is precisely to us in our affliction that the Lord comes, blazing his way with galaxies across the sky, trailing clouds of glory, writing his name in fire. He comes to us in our insensibility, in our stupor, in our impotence. He comes without conditions and without requirements. He comes down from heaven into the bloody mess of human history, laying himself open to the worst that we can do, taking the curse of our condition upon himself. He takes it and he carries it all the way.
This is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; this is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let him take you by the hand this very day and lead you out where you can see the stars, where the flaming splendor of his appearance dispels your darkness, and above all where he lays himself down in the corridors of death, so that the children of Abraham might, by his blood, attain to the promise of eternal life and a celestial inheritance in the Kingdom that fadeth not away.

Well, after last years disappointment in NWD5, Big D, stepped it up this year with NWD6.
Music: More metal and punk this year than rap. Old metal at that, Megadeath, Dio, Anthrax, and Skid Row amongst it there are some rap, nowhere as near as last 2 years which seemed to be a rap fest.
Movie itself, there wasn't a section where I lost interest at all, the last few movies I got, put me to sleep. Not as much desert riding either, there is still some, but much more North Shore.
The sections that impressed me, Berrecloth killing it in opening segment, Carlin Dunne, never realized that he could go that fast on a bike, John Cowan throwing a flair at the end of his segment, Cedric Gracia's section was great showed how amazing his bike handling skills are, Paul Basagoita proves that he really can ride in the final segment, and throws down a 720 at the end. Those stood out to me, the whole movie was strong.
Overall, this is definately a major improvement from last year.

Sending a naked picture to a teenage boyfriend could end with prison term.
"When you talk to kids they don't know it's an issue," said Detective Seth Graves of the Emmett Township Department of Public Safety. "If you are under 18 you can't take nude images and send them because you are creating child pornography and disseminating child pornography."
Sexting, which is sending explicit photographs or videos or texts, usually by mobile phones, is a recurring problem, Graves said Wednesday and young people don't realize that sending or receiving them can ruin their lives. ...

Survivorman follows outdoor enthusiast and survival expert Les Stroud as he is abandoned for a week in a remote location with little supplies (The supplies he is given to use depend on the scenario he is playing out. Sometimes he will play the sceneario of a stranded scuba diver on an island and other he will play a broken down car in the middle of the desert. However, he always carries his Leatherman Multi-Tool and his trusty harmonica.) While stranded in the middle of nowhere Les must document his experience by himself using 50 pounds of cameras and equipment that ranges from tripods, body strap stands, to film all the way to the cameras and the cases that hold them. Each new location presents a new set of obstacles for Les with such diverse climates as the dense, humid Costa Rican Rainforest all the way to the dry, arid environment of the Kalahari Desert in Africa. No matter where he goes he is always alone, always in danger, and always Survivorman.
The series originally ended in 2008. But in the summer of 2012, Les Stroud returned with all-new survival challenges, on a desert island in Mexico and in the cold mountains of Norway.moreless

The Oscars are Sunday, so the website Your Tango came up with five idiotic date ideas inspired by this year's nominees . . .
1. For "Dallas Buyer's Club", hit up a bar with a mechanical bull or go to a rodeo, since it was a big part of Matthew McConaughey's character. But does that theme make sense, when it's a serious movie about AIDS?
2. Go sailing like Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street". Like a dinner cruise or a sightseeing boat tour. Which just seems like an odd suggestion, since his yacht in the movie was filled with criminals, hookers, and coke.
3. Visit an Air and Space Museum in the spirit of "Gravity". The big one is the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., but if you can't make it there, you can find a closer option on MuseumLink.com. Basically, this idea is just boring.
4. Have a FaceTime date like in "Her". In the movie, the guy is so lonely he ends up dating his operating system. So yeah, not a great inspiration for a date. But it could go to interesting places, especially if you're already long distance.
5. Go clubbing in '70s outfits like the disco scene in "American Hustle" with Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper. This one actually makes a little more sense. But still, the movie's about con men, lying, criminals, and the mob.
(Your Tango)

Knowing flood risks allows for more informed decisions
DENTON, Texas –Homeowners, renters and business owners in Greater New Orleans area are encouraged to look over newly released preliminary flood maps in order to determine their flood risks and make informed decisions.
Local officials from Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles and Jefferson parishes, the state of Louisiana and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are presenting the preliminary maps to communities impacted by the new Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) in order to help leaders and residents identify known flood risks and use that information to make decisions about buying flood insurance and how the community should move forward with any development.
"As we work together with our state and local partners to bring this critical information to the parishes, we ask that everyone review the maps to understand what flood risks are involved," said R6 Regional Administrator Tony Robinson. "The role of the community as an active partner in the flood mapping process is very important."
To view the new flood maps, please contact your local floodplain administrator (FPA) or follow the links below:
- To learn more about the project visit http://go.usa.gov/gzU5.
- To use a live chat service, visit go.usa.gov/r6C. Click on the "Live Chat" icon.
- To contact a FEMA Map Specialist, call 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627) or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once a flood risk is identified, the next step is to consider the purchase of a flood policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is currently undergoing a thorough modernization. Meanwhile, contacting a local insurance agent is the first step to gather information about insurance. Folks can visit www.floodsmart.gov or call 1-888-379-9531 to locate an agent in their area.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

A crash-course in rockComment on this story
Helen Herimbi
Back when he was just a whippersnapper dancing his way out of Joe's whip, Michael Jackson (and Tito and 'em) wanted to teach you all about love, dear.
They said it was ABC, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3 and as simple as making a cheese and tomato sandwich. Okay, maybe they didn't say that sandwich bit, but you must admit, making that sarmie is pretty much ABC.
TopTV's Star! channel also wants to teach you something, dear. They want to school you about the ABCs of Rock, an entertainment show that airs every Humpday.
As the name suggests, the show takes a look at some of the most significant artists, objects and other things pertaining to rock music. And they do that by going through the alphabet. This week, ABCs Of Rock presents all things O.
That doesn't include the president of America, even if the world is experiencing Obama Fever right now. There's no denying it, Barack Obeezy is something of a rock star.
The ABCs Of Rock will make a big deal of everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to Oasis. Remember when Noel Gallagher of Oasis kicked up a fuss and wanted to make rock fans boycott rapper Jay-Z headlining the Glastonbury festival? Yeah, the Jiggaman's mocking rendition of Wonderwall did more than shut him up.
This Canadian-produced programme won't be showing any of that because it was first aired in 2007 and the little spat between Jay and Noel happened in 2008. But rest assured, it will profile the careers of these artists and put the spot-light on the Oddly Obsessed people proud to call themselves their fans.
For the letter N, this show explored parts of the rock culture that encompass stage shenanigans that include Nip Slips (euphemism for accidental indecent exposure of intimate parts). This week will be no different. The big Os are not just limited to the names of artists.
There are actual themes like Original Outlaws and Obnoxiously Offensive people and things. As expected, all the extras that come with the genre will also be included. The famous phrase isn't Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll for nothing.
ABCs of Rock airs on Star! (TopTV channel 179) every Wednesday at 3pm.

13:45 -!- tzafrir [firstname.lastname@example.com] has joined #debian-live
13:53 < panthera> sto: yep
13:54 < panthera> i read it for about 1.5years now
13:56 < sto> I just sent a message
14:13 < panthera> sto: i am not familiar enough with cdd, i just read the ml in the past without active action taken.
14:14 < panthera> however, we need to have first somewhat of a plan how things should/can be handled
14:14 < sto> Yes, sure
14:15 < tzafrir> are you talking about cdd or debian-live
14:15 < tzafrir> ?
14:15 < panthera> i think, cddt can be reused in some or the other way, so it is definitely of interest.
14:15 < sto> The Debian Live proposal is quite similar to things already discussed on the CDD list some time ago
14:15 < panthera> so i personally suggest, you upload the splitted packages.
14:16 < panthera> it's better to have one smaller thing more or less working than a bigger one which is not.
14:16 < sto> I'll probably do that, but I wanted some feedback first
14:16 < sto> Yes, that is the idea
14:17 < tzafrir> I've just asked on #debian-devel, and gonna ask here: any decent framework that allows me to use a local packages source for my own packages without requiring a full local debian mirror?
14:18 < sto> why do you need a debian mirror to have your packages?
14:18 < tzafrir> Because without that cdd is of no good for me, and I simply can't find what exactly needs fixing for that to work
14:18 < panthera> put them into a directory and create indices with apt-ftparchive?
14:18 < panthera> for what work?
14:18 < sto> I'm sorry but I miss what's your problem
14:19 < tzafrir> panthera, this is what I do today. But it onvolves much manual work
14:19 < sto> To keep partial mirrors you can use debpartial-mirror or reprepro, if that is what toy want
14:19 < tzafrir> debpartial-mirror is horribly slow.
14:19 < sto> Then use reprepro and filters
14:20 < sto> That is what I used for LliureX
14:20 < tzafrir> I'm checking reprepro now. Basically I want to keep a big repository with all versions of the local packages (for various branches)
14:21 < sto> Ah, then maybe reprepro is not the answer... unless each branch is a repo, of course
14:21 < panthera> i would do it in an extra dist anyway, let's say stable-unofficial or whatever you prefere
14:21 < tzafrir> sto, this can give me index files. But I can't just copy all of the packages to the installation media
14:21 < panthera> and pinning it over default with 550
14:22 < tzafrir> reprepro does seem like the way to go, but I'm not sure where to go next.
14:23 < sto> If you explain what you want maybe I can help, I used reprepro to build the package pool merging debian and my own pools
14:23 < tzafrir> I have a number of packages in debian I have modified and rebuilt. A number of others are new (and require other packages from main)
14:24 < sto> OK, if it is only that reprepro can work
14:24 < tzafrir> How do I tell debian-cd to get all the packages it needs for my short list of packages?
14:24 < sto> Use the tools included on the cddt ;)
14:24 < tzafrir> or any debian-cd replacement/wrapper
14:24 < tzafrir> sto, does it support multiple apt sources?
14:25 < tzafrir> it=cddt
14:25 < sto> What I did is to build a pool with the packages I want using reprepro
14:25 < sto> No, it is done using reprepro
14:25 < sto> I was going to do it with debpartial-mirror, but I used reprepro
14:26 < sto> The cddt is only used to build the list of packages needed
14:26 < sto> with the list of packages I use a fake-apt program
14:26 < sto> Than builds the list of packages I need to be able to install my packages
14:26 < sto> And generates a filter for reprepro
14:27 < sto> The fake-apt uses multiple apt sources
14:27 < sto> And reprepro uses the same sources to get the files, using the generated filter
14:28 < sto> tzafrir: is that what you need/want?
14:28 < tzafrir> sounds like something that should work
14:28 < sto> tzafrir: it worked for LliureX
14:28 < tzafrir> However I need to see how to make it reproducable...
14:29 < sto> Reproducible? My system is still running all days, it updates a sarge based distribution adding new security updates when needed
14:30 < sto> A cron job downloads the CDD description, builds the fake-apt environment, calculates the filters and calls reprero
14:31 < sto> if a package is updated on debian, debian-security or my local pool it is updated
14:31 < sto> And if you want you can build an updated installer using the resulting pool
14:33 < panthera> /msg chanserv set #debian-live topiclock off
14:33 < panthera> hrm
14:34 < sto> panthera: no topic
14:34 < sto> ;)

14:39 -!- mode/#debian-live [+n] by ChanServ
14:40 < bfree> hi all ... I see you are considering using casper (and hence mandatory unionfs) ... have you considered the kanotix style and/or it's code from http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/fullstory ?
14:41 < panthera> i don't know kanotix, do they use casper?
14:43 < bfree> no
14:44 < bfree> I guess you could say it is more like knoppix ... but it's diverged quite a bit from it (things like using debians original init) ... it's far closer to a true debian system (afaik) then any other livecd (well maybe dfs is more debian but it seems to be more of a fancy installer builder)
14:46 < sto> bfree: how does the systems detects hardware?
14:47 < sto> The good thing of casper is that the LiveCD should work with the same systems the debian-installer works
14:48 < panthera> yep, needs only two 'modifications': kernel must have squashfs/unionfs built-in, and casper (atm not in debian already) mustbe unboard
14:49 < sto> The kernel thing can be discussed with the kernel-team, and uploading casper is no problem, I guess
14:50 < bfree> casper preseeding from command line was broken anyway ... fabian franz was working before on doing a casper/debian blend and it was a little ugly/broken (and I haven't seen anyone else touch it since, though I might just not have noticed)
14:50 < tzafrir> however it is quite slow
14:50 < panthera> yep, therefore its the method I want to go for
14:50 < tzafrir> The ubuntu livecd takes too long to start
14:51 < bfree> casper is slow, asks lots of questions and has a hard dependency on unionfs (and unionfs stability is questionable)
14:51 < sto> tzafrir: but it works on multiple platforms, and Debian works on more platforms than Ubuntu
14:52 < bfree> the kanotix code is ok for x86 and amd64. I believe it is also regularly compiled and tested (and used to a degree) on sparc and ppc also
14:53 < sto> tzafrir: about speed, can't the system be fixed to skip hardware detection after the first run using an usb stick or the hard disk?
14:53 < sto> bfree: but which system does it use to detect hardware?
14:54 < bfree> udev/hal (was just double checking)
14:54 < bfree> well ... more exactly ... bfree: udev + custom routine for xserver detection in short
14:55 < sto> And how does it mount the rootfs? What does it use, squashfs?
14:55 < bfree> yes, squashfs
14:55 < sto> So the root filesystem is mounted readonly?
14:56 < bfree> yes ... you can use unionfs to make it writable if you want
14:56 < bfree> but it's optional
14:57 < sto> The problem is that if you don't use a writeable filesystem the programs have to be modified to work
14:57 < sto> at least some of them
14:57 < bfree> very little needs to be able to write, that data can be in ramdisk
14:58 < bfree> he's been very busy so I'm not sure how responsive he might be, but an email to Fabian Franz might give you some ideas of the problems to look out for going the casper route
14:58 < sto> The problem is that this means changing the installation, it is doable, but dirty IMHO
14:59 < sto> The installed system is different from the Live system, that is what I like from the casper idea
14:59 < sto> both are the same
15:00 < bfree> there is _virtually_ no difference between an install kanotix and a live kanotix (obviously an installed kanotix doesn't have a squashfs root ... unless you do a "poor mans install")
15:01 < sto> How is the Kanotix rootfs image built?
15:01 -!- mammadori [firstname.lastname@example.com] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
15:02 < bfree> it's basically a debootstrap ... the live init script does all the live V installed changes (afaik)
15:03 < sto> And the Kanotix installation can be done using a debian-installer also?
15:03 < sto> Or is it done from the LiveCD?
15:04 < bfree> it is done from the livecd ... I would suspect (but I don't know) that you could install it by adding the kanotix sources to d-i
15:04 < sto> Ah, then you have some custom packages not in Debian?
15:05 < bfree> yes ... nearly exclusively "extra/optional" stuff for the livecd
15:09 < sto> Well, I suppose that the Debian LiveCD idea is to have something that works on as many systems as the debian-installer and detects the same hardware, if the kannotix system does that is is interesting also... I would like to know the problems with casper, anyway, as Ubuntu people seem to still use it
15:10 < panthera> (ack)
15:10 < tzafrir> BTW: I have recently set up a system to boot from usb
15:11 < tzafrir> I tried to build a kernel with USB built-in to avoid the need for an initrd. Wasn't good enough: usb was loaded, but too late
15:12 < tzafrir> I added a custom initrd that just waits for 5 seconds, and them I managed to boot from the root filesystem on the USB. Although on a slower disk 5 seconds weren't enough
15:13 < bfree> sto: the kanotix pool has an ssft package :-D
15:13 < sto> bfree: it will be in debian soon, it is in NEW
15:14 < sto> ;)
15:14 < sto> bfree: are you already using it?
15:15 < bfree> sto: I'm not sure anything is released using it ... the outline klik package in fullstory uses it (and I think some people have been testing it)
15:18 < sto> Good to know, if there is any bug please tell me ;)
15:20 < bfree> well ... we'll have to hack around the dialog detection somehow is about it at the minute (e.g. using zenity under kde is silly). never found a reliable way to detect an active kde env though (and forgotten the program I found for gnome though no doubt we'll figure it out again)
15:22 < tzafrir> btw: isn't gdialog more decent than zenity?
15:22 < bfree> that's for klik ... I don't know if slh/kanotix/fullstory will care about that so much (showstopper for probono from klik, though we can set that ourselves from outside ssft so it's not really that big an issue, just a piece of work we can't dump "upstream" to you :-P )
15:24 < sto> bfree: probably you can use environment variables, on GNOME you can use GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
15:25 < bfree> gdialog is gnome 1.x? zenity includes a gdialog wrapper for legacy scripts
15:25 < sto> Yes, gdialog is gone, I believe
15:26 < bfree> sto: there's a program like "gnome-session" or similar that does exactly what we want (just gotta remember what it is)

18:07 < panthera> kernel-build runs now.. if i just would have a faster notebook.. :)
18:11 < mz_work> how slow is it?
18:12 < panthera> 1.2ghz pentium-m
18:12 < panthera> (ibm x40)
18:15 < panthera> its fast enough for normal stuff, i don't complain; but for rebuilding the kernel-tree, it's slow.
18:26 < mammadori> panthera: did you patched linux-2.6-2.6.15 or just built a custom kernel?
18:28 < panthera> patched linux-2.6_2.6.15
18:29 < mammadori> just squashfs fixed version or also did the script to auto patch the source?
18:30 < mammadori> I have a good machine to build if you want I could give you an account (dualcore athlon 3800+)
18:30 < panthera> if you patch the linux-2.6_2.6.15 tree, all produced package contain the patch (incl. linux-source)
18:31 < panthera> hui.. fast machine..
18:31 < mammadori> Yes I know, I was talking about following the squashfs-source package
18:31 < panthera> following?
18:33 < mammadori> When a new squashfs-source is released we will need to manually patch and rebuild thing
18:34 < panthera> and how do you suggest to avoid that?
18:35 < mammadori> as I wrote in last mail, to have a script dl linux_*_* and squash-source that builds the new package, but we could do that in the future
18:37 < panthera> i did that
18:38 < panthera> missunderstanding.. i though you speak about *not* building the packages again, if newer squasfs is available, at all
18:38 < mammadori> oooh, nice then, will you put this in a separate repository, should we indicate that too on wiki?
18:39 < panthera> sure.. i'll write a 'kernel' site if i'm ready, aeh.. when my notebook is ready :)
18:40 < mammadori> :-)
18:42 < panthera> i can settup a cron-script which builds and uploads the packages automagically if they appear on ftp.d.o
18:42 < panthera> s/tt/t/
18:43 < mammadori> this is really better than in my dreams
18:44 < panthera> well, just temporary.. waldi said, there are chances to get squashfs into debian mainline kernels,
18:45 < panthera> assumed that linux upstreams are more or less persuaded of the quality of the squashfs-patches
18:45 < mammadori> this would be great, should we fill a wishlist bug?
18:45 < panthera> so, someone needs to find the respective lkml links and write some formal request
18:45 < panthera> no, not yet..
18:46 < mammadori> I see that squashfs is not 64 bit enabled, maybe they are waiting for that
18:46 < panthera> that should be just discussed on email@example.com
18:46 < panthera> yep, i read something about some endian problems in the thread about mainline inclusion of last summer
18:50 < mammadori> yes, I saw that too, I will study a bit more casper and cdd, see you later or tomorrow (must go out tonight or I will go crazy)
18:50 < panthera> fine.. have fun ;)
19:45 < mammadori> I would like to study the daily build scripts for ubuntu-live, but I cannot find where they lies, any hint?
19:45 < mammadori> [19:41] I'm afraid they've never been published anywhere outside our buildds
19:45 < mammadori> 2 bad 4 us
19:45 < mammadori> :-(
20:04 < sto> mammadori: And they can't send them to you?
20:12 < panthera> iirc, but dont count that much of that, i have heard roumors that everything which was not first published elsewere
20:12 < panthera> is automatically proprietary to canonical, but i don't know if this is true.
20:25 < sto> It does not seem reasonable in this case, probably it is not published because the system that is being used is not documented enough or prepared to be modified and they prefer to keep some people away... in fact they tell people to remaster their LiveCDs instead of building them from scratch
20:26 < sto> But I'm sure we can prepare our own system easily, if all the pieces are available
20:27 < panthera> i just asked mithrandir, they need to get permission to release it, it's of low priority for them, so it will not happen that soon.
20:37 < sto> Well, we can build our own scripts if needed... it can't be so difficult, the remastering scripts are already available and the debian-installer used should be the Debian one, not the Ubuntu one
20:42 < panthera> sure.. i just hate those reinventing wheels things
20:42 < panthera> 'adjusting' ubuntu-scripts is more efficient than writing them from scratch.
20:43 < sto> I can't tell that without looking at them, maybe you are right, but sometimes a rewrite is faster
20:44 < sto> Mainly because I don't know how forked is the ubuntu installer related to the current debian installer
21:00 < mammadori> kamion was sorry to tell me that their scripts are not public yet, but gave me precious advices and an url
21:00 < mammadori> http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/archives/colin.watson%40canonical.com--2005/
21:01 < mammadori> you'll need to make sure to install casper, run update-initramfs and fish out the initrd produced by that
21:01 < mammadori> email@example.com/debian-cd--ubuntu--0 at http://firstname.lastname@example.com includes some hacks to get the initrd onto the CD image, although that's the easy bit
21:01 < mammadori> you'll probably also want to install xresprobe and laptop-detect in the live filesystem to get X autoconfiguration
21:02 < mammadori> end of kamion quoting
21:02 < mammadori> tomorrow I'll work on that
21:02 < mammadori> c u soon, going out a bit
21:02 < panthera> mammadori: thank you ;)
21:05 < mammadori> here something, not too much http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/archives/colin.watson%40canonical.com--2005/debian-cd/debian-cd--ubuntu/debian-cd--ubuntu--0/patch-279/
21:06 < mammadori> panthera: np, bye!
