Black paint and accessories are a dark and scary thought for many parents. We faced our fears and mastered the art of black decor in this retro room.
"Mom, I want to paint my room black." You can relax -- black bedrooms appeal because they're sophisticated and different. As self-expression becomes more important, kids -- especially tweens and teens -- search for ways to make a statement and stand out in a crowd. Help your noncomformist feel special (and make a statement everyone can live with by saying yes to black, at least in small doses. )
Our kid- and parent-friendly bedroom pairs black chalkboard paint on the top portion of two walls with two bright colors, a zippy green and a serene sky blue. Other vibrant hues -- including pink, purple, and teal -- work equally well. Black paint and accessories pack lots of drama, while fresh, funky fabrics and a little heavy metal give the space plenty of punch.
Use a wall in a contrasting color or two for visual relief when using black paint; think of it as a "power wall," working hard to bring color and light into a space. Here, one of the walls next to the bed is painted a cool-as-a-cucumber green. A stylish storage unit that allows the wall color to show through puts the "fun" in functional. Tying it all together are mod accessories, fun furniture, and an inexpensive metal chair rail that frames the space and provides a handy spot for posters, magnets, and other teen treasures.
Squiggles, stars, sunbursts, and other spunky patterns used on the bed and in the window treatments help the black paint and accessories lighten up.
An inexpensive chair rail made from 4-foot metal strips we bought at a local home improvement store frames the room and serves as a display space when vintage or souvenir magnets are added to the mix. To make one yourself, simply screw the metal strip into the wall. The exposed screws add to the look.
A slouchy yet stylish beanbag covered in washable fabric is a perfect fit for guitar practice or visiting friends.
Going for the bold? We asked a pair of paint experts to weigh in on how to use black paint with success.
Don't Fence Me In: "Dark colors can feel confining," says Sheri Thompson, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. Lighten up in a small bedroom and skip black on a ceiling, as it will make it appear lower. Thompson likes black as an accent, especially when paired with silver in an outer-space or starry-night theme.
Less Is More: Can't bring yourself to use black on the walls? A coat of black paint is a good, thrifty way to update juvenile or hand-me-down furniture for a teen's room, says Karen Mantoen of Behr Paints. Black furniture is becoming as popular as white furniture in the juvenile market.
Sheen Shenanigans: And what's our favorite black-paint tip? Don't use shiny black paint. The shinier the paint, the more wall imperfections show. We learned this the hard way and had to repaint with a lower sheen. For both scrubbability and style, look for a satin finish or one of the washable flats on the market.

The Pastors Workshop
The Peculiar Task of Preaching on Easter
But Easter preaching involves more than evangelism. The majority of people hearing Easter sermons already believe. Many of them have heard dozens of Easter sermons. They are hoping for something more than the basic good news. They would like to grasp some truth they have never touched before. They may be hoping to experience in a fresh way the joy of the resurrection. So, Easter preachers try, in one sermon, to speak to unbelievers who know very little about Christian faith and, at the same time, to believers, some of whom have been Christians for decades. No easy feat!
Then, there are a few other unusual features of preaching on Easter. The addition of extra services on Easter often requires preachers to be unusually attentive to sermon length, even briefer than normal. Plus, in my experience, on Easter some visitors aren't comfortable leaving their young children in the church nursery. At Irvine Presbyterian, it was almost inevitable that, during my Easter sermon, some visiting infant would be serenading the congregation while I was holding forth from the pulpit. That would be distracting for the listeners and the preacher.
So, given the peculiarity of Easter preaching, what ought preachers to do? Let me offer a few practical suggestions.
First, Easter Sunday is a time for preachers to present the basic Gospel. Yes, many in the congregation will have heard it before. But it surely won't hurt them to hear once again about the love of God poured out in the cross and the victory of God demonstrated in the resurrection. Don't we all need to be reminded of this on a regular basis?
Second, after laying out the basic Gospel, preachers should invite people to put their faith in Jesus Christ—either for the first time, or in an act of renewal. This can be done in different ways, according to the traditions of a given church. But, in my opinion, no preacher should leave off a clear invitation for people to respond to the good news of Easter in faith.
Third, preachers should bear in mind the unusual diversity of their Easter congregations. While making sure to communicate the core of the Gospel, they can also add some observations or applications that will help mature Christians to grow in their faith. As a regular Easter preacher, I always made sure I had something in my sermon for those who had been Christians longer than I had been alive.
Fourth, when preparing Easter sermons, preachers should be absolutely sure to do well that which every sermon deserves. I'm thinking here of careful exposition of the biblical text, thoughtful consideration of the lives of the congregation in light of the larger culture, and heartfelt prayer for God's guidance. If there was ever a time for preachers to ask the Lord for gifts of wisdom, knowledge, teaching, and prophecy, Easter is such a time. We who preach must remember that the impact of our preaching is not primarily dependent on us, but on the Holy Spirit who speaks through us and who stirs in the hearts of our listeners.
As I prepare to preach on Easter this year, I have been praying: "Lord, what do you want to say through me to the people this year? How might the good news of the resurrection speak to their deepest needs and longings? Use me, Lord, as a faithful channel of your grace and truth. May my mind and heart be attentive to you. May I seek, above all, to honor and glorify you through my preaching. May your kingdom come this Easter, on earth as in heaven. Amen!"

I'll continue my series of blog-posts on community building and Mozilla, this time trying to approach the cultural side of a community. Specifically, I use the Hive Learning Network as the best example to explore a bit the balance between local culture and the global community.
This month, folks at Hive Learning Network New York (now a Mozilla project) invited people from other cities to an inspiring fireside chat to talk about how to bring the Hive Learning Network model in a city near you.
I like a lot what I heard at Hive NYC: the way it is organized (already funded organizations brought together by a common goal of offering world-class after-school educational programs for the youth in their city), the membership showcase and the way they already adopted Mozilla's culture of doing things (work in open, embrace the community spirit, share).
What I specially loved is the concept of "Hive served a la carte": we offer what we build, you can take pieces of it, remix it or adapt to your local culture. One example could be the "Hackasaurus Hackitivity Kit" – a fantastic how-to activity kit which is the result of almost 2 years of iteration, testing and work. This kit may work or not for the different local cultures – but, for sure, it has some important bits that help.
I brought Barcelona name as a potential city where to bring the Hive Learning Network. In fact, this is something on which various Catalan communities (Wikipedia, Mozilla, Softcatalà, Arduino, etc.) have been working for a while now – bring the open culture to citizens and the broader public through the already existing organizations, museums, public libraries and cultural centers, community centers. There've been things which didn't go as well as expected, but there are some other pieces that give a great feeling of optimism: the first Learning Lab prototype during the Mozilla Festival in 2010, the various hack jams organized this year and the present success of local Wikipedians in helping Catalan museums to open their knowledge to everyone.
I see the Hive(s) as an extension of Mozilla's communities, a bridge between Mozillians and the rest of the citizens – users of the Internet.
Late 2008, we, Mozilla community in Barcelona (and in part Softcatalà) have been working on straightening the collaboration with civic spaces around the city. The things went great (now we host most of our events and meet-ups in public spaces), but few months ago we realized that giving back to those spaces, organizing workshops for the citizens going there to learn or designing activities for those spaces is not so easy. And highly ineffective.
Photo by mozillaeu (sculptures in a Public Space at Mozilla Festival in Barcelona)
Now, with Hive being part of Mozilla, things may become easier and interesting. That is why a goal for 2012 is building the Hive Learning Network Barcelona. It's not an easy task. Cultures are different, Barcelona is different from New York, as other European cities may be different from Barcelona. And Hive is a formal network of civil society service organizations; that means that we need to think beyond political implications and at the most superior, hackable cultural layer, so this can become effective and successful.
Online events as Fireside chats are a great way to accomplish lot of things and meet people that make the same things as you (there were folks from various cities who want to bring the Hive). Calls as Webmakers allows you to present your project and accomplishments to others and get feedback / peer assist.
During the Fireside chat, Chris said something that really matched with my thoughts: setting up a Learning Network, finding an efficient formula … that may take years of work, experimentation, iteration. And he is right… we already started to raise awareness here in Barcelona by organizing and helping other to organize the Hack Jams, in the next 2 years we will try to build room for even more people to get involved, because (at least in Barcelona) I don't see a successful Hive Learning Network without a foundational strong, diversified and open Mozilla communities.
There are things that we have to deal with in the upcoming months, such as the too much localism and authority or the lack of understanding what a diverse cultural/linguistic community organization is.
In a few words, we have to hack cultures: learn to build communities and initiatives around affinity but respect every peer's culture and language, explore and find easy ways to build bridges between groups, redefine localization and the core community concept, learn to communicate across cultures.
At the end of this post, I want to quote something I read in the Learning Freedom and the Web Festival's book (I may comment on this later, but this is a certain proof that sometimes we put the "language and translation" as a principal cause for leak of participation when the problem is much more complex).
"There were difficulties in communicating and building bridges amongst people with very different backgrounds, skill sets, and languages (The lack of translators for sessions, which were held exclusively in English, came in for a fair amount of criticism)."
This is the second post of a series on Mozilla's Community Building/Development and webmakers.

Leslie Hall found the career she loved after her husband was assigned to Fort Knox. It's a career that has led to an appointment to a state board.
After completing a degree in psychology and biblical studies at Tennessee Temple University, Hall participated in an internship at the child abuse council in Georgia and found she enjoyed the social work aspect of what she did.
Her husband was then transferred to Fort Knox. After working as social services director at a nursing home, she began work with the family resource and youth service center at West Point Independent School. She later worked at Woodland Elementary and now is in her second year as youth service center coordinator at North Hardin High School. In total she has worked for resource centers in area schools since 1995.
Her job is comprised of referring students for counseling and working with the Teens as Parents program and the Friends of Rachel Club, which promotes kindness in schools.
"I like helping people," she said.
Before finding her niche in social services, her favorite job was waitressing because she would get to know people who were regulars, she said.
The ability to connect with others was important in that job and her current one.
"I love getting to know people at different levels and helping them," she said. It's something she attributes to learning from her mother.
The job can sometimes be discouraging when it's hard to see results, she said.
"You have to have the faith that somewhere down the line the little seeds you planted will make a difference in people's lives," she said.
But every once in a while she'll run across someone with evident changes in their lives that makes her job rewarding. When she gets to the point where she's not sure she can do her job anymore, she said, God will send someone through the door to show her how she has helped them.
"It's just a little boost to help keep you going," she said.
Many times in advising parents, she paraphrases actor Tyler Perry.
"Sometimes the very things we are trying to hold onto the tightest are what God is trying to rip from us to give us a better life," she said, adding adults have a hard time letting go of things.
There's another piece of advice she gives to students.
"I believe that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are but we are responsible for who we become," she said.
Her husband, Doug, is no longer on active duty but is with the National Guard at Fort Knox. He was deployed several places but she was fortunate he was stationed here each time to be able to develop her career with family resouce centers in this area.
"It's been phenomenal," she said.
In November, Hall was appointed to the Kentucky Agency for Substance Abuse Policy Board. Serving on this board is a part of her duties as vice president of the Family Resource and Youth Service Center Collation of Kentucky.
On the board, her job is to help give insights on different substance abuse policies in the state and help funnel funding into the local branches in the best way possible.
She also serves as president of the local board of the Salvation Army and is a member of the Optimist Club of Radcliff. Before helping with the Salvation Army, Hall worked for 13 years with Toys for Tots.
At home, she likes to spend time around a campfire in the back yard with her family. Her three children are older and they don't get to be together a lot, but when there's a family bonfire, they all try to come.
She also has what she calls "spare" kids. These are children whose homes weren't happy places and they lived at her home, sometimes for years.
The term "spare" is used in the context of bowling.
"Life cannot afford you a strike, but come to my house and you can pick up a spare," she said.

Despite previous reports, Justin Bieber is still letting Lil Za stay at his Calabasas mansion, even though the aspiring rapper was arrested earlier this month for possessing drugs.
Picture: Bieber was still in custody in Miami Beach as WENN went to press. (ZN/WNVSK/LR) - Miami Beach, United States - Thursday 23rd January 2014
The media frenzy that is surrounding Justin Bieber's current arrest, all began from an incident involving the 19 year-old throwing eggs at his neighbours house.
Bieber allegedly caused severe damage to the property and this prompted the LA County Sherriff department to raid the singer's own home to find video footage to determine what actually occurred.
While the two dozen detectives didn't find any evidence in his Calabasas home, Bieber's pal, known as Lil Za, was arrested for, what is believed to be, possessing the ecstasy drug MDMA.
It has since been reported that Lil Za had moved out of Justin's home in an attempt, by his team including manager Scooter Braun, to rid the 'Love Me' singer of any bad influences in his inner circle after his own recent personal issues.
Last week, Bieber was arrested and charged with a DUI in Miami, Florida, after local police officers discovered him drag racing in a residential area.
He was charged with resisting arrest without violence, drag racing, three charges of DUI and driving without a valid license, upon his bail, Biber and mentor Usher have fled to Panama's Nitro City.
However, according to TMZ, Lil Za and Bieber are still housemates, the aspiring rapper was allegedly only visiting his mom who had flown in from Texas to deal with the drug charge.
Za's girlfriend, Atifa Barwany, also arrived in LA from Texas and now she has joined her beau inside Justin's home.
Lil Za recently posted a photo on his Instagram of his mother cooking an evening meal, the caption read, "My mama whipping it up for a young g."
Justin Bieber hasn't kicked Lil Za out...yet

Former Forest City Owl Vince Belnome makes major league debut with Tampa Bay
Former Forest City Owl Vince Belnome made his major league debut as the starting designated hitter for the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday July 3 versus Detroit. He marks the sixth Coastal Plain League alum to debut during the 2014 season thus far, and the 70th overall.
Belnome played for the 2009 Owls, who finished 51-9 with both a CPL Championship, and a National Championship after earning PG Crosschecker's final number one ranking as the best summer collegiate team in the nation. That summer Belnome batted .256 with four doubles, one home run and nine RBIs in twelve games for the Owls. His summer league season was cut short after he was drafted and signed by the San Diego Padres in the 28th round of the MLB Amateur Draft in June.
The West Virginia product was traded from the Padres to the Rays in December of 2012. His best season as a Ray's minor leaguer came last year when he hit .300 with 35 doubles, eight home runs, and 67 RBIs for the Triple-A Durham Bulls.
Belnome was called up earlier in the season but never appeared in a game during his short stay until he was recalled on Thursday. 2014 has been a down year for the versatile infielder, but the Rays showed their confidence in him by still choosing him as a temporary replacement when veteran Yunel Escobar went down injured.
It was a tough night for both Belnome and the Rays as a whole with Detroit ace, and reigning American League Cy Young winner, Max Scherzer on the mound for the Tigers. Belnome finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts while the Rays as a team managed only two hits all night, losing 8-1.
Belnome became the third player from Forest City to make their major league debut, with all three having played for the nationally recognized 2009 championship team.
About the Coastal Plain League:
The Coastal Plain League is the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 18th season in 2014, the CPL features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats.

Best Of 2012: Eric's Top 30 Releases Of The Year
Similar to the conflicted state of mind the character Jules Winnfield Of Pulp Fiction was in when he decided not to execute the characters of Honey Bunny and Ringo like "fucking fried chicken", my American Aftermath writership came at a period in my life of transition, a time of both fleeting and returning tastes. In short, my idea of "music" was flipped upside down. What was once a streamlined process of music listening and discovery was overloaded and overridden by my previous months exploration into a multitude of realms and genres previously unexplored, most notable among that being my new found discovery of hardcore and the cascading effects of that discovery, which led to realms from sludge metal to pop punk.
The following thirty album list reflects the few difficultly chosen releases that stuck with me the most throughout both the bombarding ocean of releases this year and the aforementioned musical overturn. Before we actually begin, I'd like to thank the American Aftermath crew especially Ross Gnarly, Lane Oliver, and Josh Huddleston for allowing me to be a part of their team. I would also like to thank the musicians and bands that have created music for me to write about and those that have helped out in interviews and features. Last but not least I want to thank you, the readers, for giving a shit. See you all after the jump.

I Am constipated & have hemorrhoids from the birth of my child. What medicines can I take that don't have any effects on breastfeeding?
Constipation.: in this setting, the ideal would be to avoid medication altogether, if possible. I would begin by increasing the amount of fiber in your diet and considering taking a fiber supplement, such as Metamucil, daily. When you do that, you need to increase your fluid intake also.

Is it healthier to take bulk former like Metamucil or eat lots of greens?
That's an easy one!: There is no substitute for fresh fruits & vegetables. No commercial fiber product can replicate the antioxidant, mineral, & vitamin benefits of produce. On the other hand, some people tolerate raw vegetables poorly with bloating, gasiness. For these people, or when vegetables may not be readily available, fiber supplements may suffice for bulk.

I have an 11x14 that works tolerably well.
The key to contact printing is the psi [pounds per square inch/pressure]. 16x20 is 320 sq inches - to apply a pressure of 1/2 psi (a not-too-well filled party balloon's worth - about what most frames can manage) you would need 160 pounds of clamping force.
You only need one sheet of glass. You can make the backing from 3/4" plywood. You will need to cover the plywood with thick felt. A frame around the glass will help to distribute the pressure from the clamps.
Large contacting frames use vacuum to clamp. One side of the frame is glass, the other has a rubber blanket attached to it. Air is evacuated and the blanket clamps the artwork to the glass with atmospheric pressure - 14 psi. A 16x20 frame would have over 2 >tons< of total clamping force. With the rubber blanket there is no net force on the glass. There are contacting schemes that use a box with holes as the evacuated side and a thin sheet of plastic that goes over the artwork to allow evacuation of the space between the a/w and the film.
You used to be able to get contacting frames for free as print shops were converting to digital and 'laser plates' right and left. You can find them on ebay - the larger ones cost much less than the smaller ones. And they weigh a ton [almost literally for the large 40x48" ones]. Search for "vacuum frames" and "exposure units".

Horn and interior trunk release not working. Figure it's a fuse and found the 10 amp fuse for the horn, but could not get it out. Not sure about a fuse for the trunk release? How do we know if it is a fuse issue or not

Just to add to this one you can check the fuse without pulling it take a test light and see if you have power on both sides of the fuse with the key in the run position. Also those cars had a problem with water getting up inside the horn's shorting them out. The new horn's that you replace them with have a baffle on them to help keep the water out. Also check the bcm/cluster fuse in the underhood fuse box its a 15amp fuse.

Breanna Brown scrambled in front of the Delran goal and made 24 saves, providing the spark that carried the Bears to a 1-0 upset at town rival Holy Cross Monday in Burlington County League girls' soccer.
With Brown's flawless effort giving the Delran (3-5) defense its first shutout of the season, Taylor Umbrell scored with three minutes to go before halftime against the Lancers (6-3-1).
Umbrell converted a pass from Christina Rietzen for the Bears' sixth goal in eight games.
Also in Burlington County, Becky Forcellini's hat trick powered host Cinnaminson's 5-1 win over Maple Shade.
Willingboro relied on a pair of sophomores to deliver a 5-2 win at Florence as Taylor Lewis scored three goals, and Taylor Hamilton added two.

In my post last Friday on Why Contemplation Matters, a reader named Brian referred me to a PDF called Listening for the Still Speaking God: Contemplative Evangelism featuring an excerpt of an article called "Evangelism and Spiritual Formation" by Richard Peace, who teaches at Fuller Seminary. I can't find the original article online, but there's plenty to chew on in the PDF. Here's a taste for you:
What if prayer were the central component of evangelism? By this I mean, what if the very desire to reach out to others was born in the fire of contemplative prayer where the presence of God was so palpable that one could not help but want to share that reality with others? What if prayer then became the very vehicle of evangelism, as we invite others to pray? We would offer the space and place to pray, instruction in prayer, the structure within which to pray, companionship while praying, and a community in which to grow and continue in prayer.
— Richard Peace, as quoted in Listening for the Still Speaking God: Contemplative Evangelism
I don't know where to start, other than to say that this guy has basically described my understanding of the work I feel called to do. I've never really thought of it as "evangelism" no doubt because like many folks who grew up in the American south, I saw the concept of evangelism abused so much that I've grown rather allergic to the word, let alone the concept. But if we can shake off the baggage and simply see evangelism (or, as Catholics prefer to say, evangelization) as a vulnerable sharing of joy and yearning for God, rather than a manipulative attempt to control another's religious behavior — then, I think, this idea of contemplative evangelism makes all sorts of sense. And Dr. Peace is hitting the nail on the head again and again. First, pray: taste the fire of contemplation before trying to talk about it. Then, invite others to pray with you — and I mean contemplative prayer, which means everyone is silent. And then, create or find the space and the place to pray, in our homes, in our churches, in nature, in monasteries and retreat centers, and even in the crazy corners of life. Then — and only then — should we start wondering about how to teach (and learn) to pray, how to establish meaningful structures around our prayer, and how to foster friendships and communities devoted to prayer.
I love it. This is so much what the mystics are all about. And what I believe the church desperately, desperately needs today. Christians who have traditionally been allergic to the word "evangelism" need to reclaim it from those who have abused it and used it aggressively against others. I think we can reclaim this idea that the Christ story really is about good news. I think it's essential that we do so. And I think learning to sit down and shut up will be a big part of it.

I have Mr. Foster as my Attorney. My Lawsuit isn't over yet, but he has been right on top of the matter from Day one! He is a very hard working and busy Man. He might not always talk to me personally, but does make the time to when I request him too! His office staff is very kind, and keeps me up to date! I'm sad to see some don't feel the same as I do. He is worth taking on as anyone's Attorney!!! I feel my case is in the best hands it could be. I have high faith in him and his wonderful staff!
Posted by a Child Abuse client
Thank God for Mr. Foster! I had a very bad and unfounded criminal case and Mr. Foster saved my freedom. From the moment he took my case, he worked hard to get it resolved. He is smart and seems to really know the law. I could call him day or night and even on the weekends and he would return my call by the next day. He even answered a text I sent him at 10:30pm on a weekend. He is just the best and I would not be a free man without him.
Posted by Martin
Mr. Foster took care of my case quickly and competently. He handled my case and actually returned most of the money that I had given him as a retaner. I thought that that money was gone forever and was ok with that but he handled the case quickly and gave me the money that was not spent back.
Posted by a Consumer Protection client
We hired Mr. Foster for a fiduciary/fraud business case. It is absolutely true that he is a charmer at first, but only until he gets your money. After that you have to hound him to get anything done on your case.....weeks pass without a returned phone call. Well it's been a year with no progress in our case. We've since changed our legal representation. Thank you for one year of lost momentum in our case, and thousands of wasted dollars, Mr. Foster, and shame on you for adding additional pressure and stress on a client when you are needed the most.
Posted by a client
I recently was given Mr Foster as my court appointed Attorney. He never had any attorney/client visits with me while I was incarcerated. He would only review my cases with me for a few minutes during my Court dates. My Mother would have to text, call or just show up to his office to be informed on the progress of my cases. He never truly put up any defense on my behalf with the Asst. D.A. The only thing he made sure to do was convince my Family that by me taking the plead deal was in my best interest.
It's sad to say that I had to plead to more prison time that what is given to murderers. So please listen to my warning if you value your life, do not accept him as your Court Appointed Attorney. Hire an Attorney that will truly defend you and put the time which is needed to give you a better plead deal.
my warning if you value your life and have the opportunity to change Attorneys or hire one please do
Posted by a Trademark client
Stephen Foster is not an attorney that I would recommend unless you are going to plea your case. If that is the case you might as well obtain a court appointed attorney. He will not fight fight for you. He is very strange and a non communicative person. He will definitely sell you out to the prosecutor if you decide to fight your case. Like most attorneys he wants to do as little work as possible for the money. Don't be fooled by this attorney because he will definitely charm you at first until he gets your money. He a is a strange being and not someone that I would recommend. Trust me take it from my experience.

Keeping Army families strong
May 19, 2010
By 1st Lt. Geralyn Hall, 64th BSB
Story Highlights
- The Yellow Ribbon Room at Fort Carson is dedicated space to help Family Readiness Groups help families stay in touch with deployed Soldiers
- Maj. Michael Story, commander, Medical Company, 64th Brigade Support Battalion, was able to have his family view his promotion from the room
Maj. Michael Story, commander, Medical Company, 64th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, currently deployed to Contingency Operating Base Adder, took advantage of a unique opportunity to share his promotion with his family back at Fort Carson, May 1, 2010, thanks to video teleconference technology.
His wife, Maj. Kerryn Story, and daughter, Ava, were able to watch the ceremony from the 3rd BCT Yellow Ribbon Room at Fort Carson.
The Yellow Ribbon Room is a dedicated space to facilitate Family Readiness Group activities and help families stay in touch with deployed Soldiers. The room is equipped with computers and video teleconference equipment.
"My wife got promoted three years ago in a deployed environment, and I was there," Story said. "It was nice for her to experience my promotion remotely."
Family connections are very important to the 64th BSB, said Lt. Col. Geoffrey DeTingo, commander, 64th BSB.
"The unit has come a long way in how it takes care of the Soldiers and their families - despite the long distance - with technology and a command climate that emphasizes keeping the 3rd BCT family bonds strong," he said.
The "Iron Brigade" has put great emphasis on the family unit for this deployment. The brigade commander and brigade command sergeant major saw a need for a centralized location that Iron Families could go to for events like Story's promotion.
"Promotion to major is the most important step in the Army," said Col. James Rainey, commander, 3rd BCT, 4th Inf. Div. "It is the point at which you go from the Army as something you do for a job, to the Army being your profession."
"Maj. Story has been a valuable member of the Mountaineer team for over a year now. He has brought an abundance of experience and mentorship for both his company and his battalion and embraces this next step in his profession," Rainey said. "I was pleased to be able to promote Maj. Story with his wife and daughter watching back at Fort Carson."

The American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón GT battle between SRT Motorsports and Corvette Racing has carried over from Canada to Elkhart Lake, Wis.
One race after a tight battle for the GT class win at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – a race that the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6 ZR1 of Jan Magnussen and Oliver Gavin won by 0.267 seconds – SRT Motorsports and Jonathan Bomarito responded with the GT pole for Sunday's Orion Energy Systems 245 on Saturday morning at Road America.
Bomarito lapped Road America's 4.048-mile circuit in 2 minutes, 3.410 seconds/118.084 mph in the No. 93 Pennzoil Ultra SRT Viper GTS-R for his second consecutive GT pole, edging the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6 ZR1 of Antonio Garcia by 0.802 seconds. Leh Keen qualified third in the No. 23 Yokohama/Battery Tender Ferrari F458 Italia of Team West/AJR/Boadwalk Ferrari, 2:04.269 (117.268 mph).
"We made some awesome changes," Bomarito said. "We basically used qualifying as a test session. You normally wouldn't make that many changes from practice to qualifying. We took some stuff from the 91 car, added to it, and the car was absolutely amazing this morning. The cool weather helped us. Qualifying is great but we really have a great race car, so I feel really good about the race."
Lucas Luhr put the No. 6 Muscle Milk HPD ARX-03c on the overall pole, the third straight P1 class pole for Pickett Racing with a lap of 1:51.460 (130.745 mph). Muscle Milk Pickett Racing leads the P1 standings with wins in four of the five races this season.
The No. 16 Mazda/Thetford/Norcold Lola B12/60 entry of Dyson Racing driven by Chris McMurry qualified second, 1:53.580 (128.304 mph) with the revolutionary DeltaWing LM12 prototype of Katherine Legge third in P1 at 1:55.362 (126.322 mph)
Level 5 Motorsports earned its sixth straight P2 class pole with Marino Franchitti setting the session's fastest lap, 1:54.806 (126.934 mph), in the No. 552 Siemens/Alpina Watches/Ohiya Casino Resort HPD ARX-03b. Franchitti set the lap 10 minutes into the 15 minute session, besting Guy Cosmo's lap of 1:55.622 (126.038 mph) in the No. 01 Tequila Patrón HPD ARX-03b by eight tenths.
Simon Pagenaud – filling in for the injured Ryan Briscoe – qualified third in the No. 551 Level 5 Motorsports entry at 1:55.793 (125.852).
In the Prototype Challenge presented by Continental Tire (PC) class, Colin Braun earned his fourth consecutive pole and fifth of the season, edging Bruno Junqueira by 0.082 seconds with a lap of 1:57.630 (123.887 mph) in the No. 05 Composite Resources ORECA FLM09 of CORE autosport.
Junqueira qualified second at 1:57.712 (123.800 mph) for RSR Racing, followed by Tristan Nunez in the No. 18 VISITFLORIDA.com/Ric Man/Signature MSAP ORECA FLM09 of Performance Tech Motorsports, 1:57.885 (123.619 mph)
Spencer Pumpelly picked up his second GTC pole of the season – third of his career – in the No. 45 Venezuela/eSilicon Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Pumpelly laid down his best lap with four minutes left in the session, 2:11.931 (110.458 mph), knocking then polesitter Damien Faulkner out of the top spot.
Sean Edwards drove the No. 30 MOMO Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to second in the final minutes at 2:12.386 (110.078 mph), with Jan Heylen third in the No. 11 Hertz Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, 2:12.403 (110.064 mph).
GTC points leader Jeroen Bleekemolen qualified sixth in the No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Bleekemolen is seeking his fourth consecutive Road America GTC win. He can become the first driver in ALMS GTC class history to win at the same venue four times in a row.ALMS, Road America, Sports Cars, SRT Motorsports

Comic Book Scripts
Plot and Script Samples
For aspiring comic book writers or other interested masochists, following are links to plots and scripts from published comics. There may be value in comparing these documents with the printed stories. Note that there is no industry standard format for plots or scripts. This is just the way I do them. For the record, my Marvel-style plots are a bit fuller than average, I tend to put in at least a first draft of all the dialog. Many people don't. Not surprisingly, I prefer to work full script. My full scripts are about average in terms of detail. Click on the highlighted titles to see the documents. Please note that all characters are TM & © copyright by their respective owners. All unpublished stories (and some of the published ones) are © copyright Dwayne McDuffie. All Rights Reserved.
Plot Samples
Static Sample Plot. This is a four-page, plot-style "test" for artists that Milestone used to give to folks who showed us promising samples. It's deceptively difficult, requiring the ability to draw backgrounds, real people and super heroes, choreograph action, and sell expressions and emotion. John Paul Leon, Tommy Lee Edwards and a few others were hired off of their work on this plot. I ripped this idea off of a Vision script that Marvel Comics used to give out for the same purpose.
Deathlok #2 (ongoing series) "Caught In The CyberNet." My first solo Deathlok script (I traded off story arcs with co-creator Greg Wright). This was the first time I used the Booker T. Washington/W.E.B. DuBois debate as a lens to discuss issues of race and the heroic image. Icon readers know it wasn't the last. I really enjoyed writing Misty Knight. Sadly (for me, at least), John Byrne made her a regular in NAMOR shortly after this and I had to write her out of the book.
Spider-Man #1 (special) "Skating On Thin Ice." This comic has one of the largest print runs in history. It was a give-away from the organization of Canadian Police Chiefs to nearly every school kid in Canada. Wish I'd got royalties on this one! Spidey is great, I do an old-school sort of Bugs Bunny/Groucho Marx version. Good practice for STATIC, who owes more than a little to my favorite web-slinger.
Hardware #1 "Angry Black Man." The first Milestone comic ever. I set out to challenge audience assumptions by doing the "anti-Deathlok." Don't get me wrong, I love Deathlok but he was so mature and good, he had nowhere to grow. I resolved to take Hardware from selfish anti-hero to true hero over the course of a couple of years. Reviewers called me racist and "ungrateful". Milestone got two letter bombs (no injuries, thankfully). On the other hand, we sold over 400 thousand copies, nearly eight times our projections.
Icon #13 "It's Always Christmas!" A semi-affectionate humorous jab at Marvel's Hero For Hire, Buck Wild proved so popular that he returned several times, eventually replacing the original Icon for a while. Even his death couldn't stop him from taking a final bow. Get a hold of the actual comic, if you can, Matt Wayne's parody of a Marvel Comics' letter column is even funnier than the story, damn him.
Full Script Samples
Damage Control (8-page preview from Marvel Comics Presents) "Overture." John Porter is recruited to Damage Control, while Daredevil beats some information out of his favorite punching bag, Turk. The script format is something I made up. I used it for about three years before abandoning it for the modified screenplay format you'll see on most of the other scripts posted here.
Deathlok Annual #1 (8-page back up) "Show And Tell." I comment on a raging letters column controversy in story form. This also includes the weirdest crossover I ever snuck by an editor. The little girl at the beginning of the story is from Harvey Comics' MONSTER IN MY POCKET series. Her dollhouse is filled with inch-high versions of Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and others. But she never gets a chance to show anybody...
The Demon #27 (last series) "Etrigan, He's Our Man..." The Demon Etrigan runs for President in what I think is my funniest story. Massive good sport award to penciller Val Semekis, who although way on the opposite side of the political spectrum from me, did a terrific job on this story, despite really hating it.
X-O Manowar #19 (vol. 2) "We Bombed In Denver." I really enjoyed this series and would have done it forever if Acclaim Comics hadn't suspended publication five issues into my run. Donavan (X-O) Wiley's platonic gal-pal Renata Wade was on the verge of nudging aside Raquel "Rocket" Ervin as my all-time favorite character to write.
The Tick (Fox Kids Funhouse) "The Tick Vs. Auld Lang Syne!" This unpublished script, intended for a Tick Holiday Special, was partially pencilled when Acclaim pulled the plug. It's my funniest Tick script and I'm disappointed it never saw the light of day. Check out my mean parody of Marvel's The Watcher, I wanted to call him "The Voyeur" but my editor made me stop. He was right. If it seems oddly paced, it is. This was written for a digest-size comic, and I tried to put only 3 or 4 panels a page.
Deathlok #25 dialogue. As you may or may not know, a "Marvel-style" plot (see Deathlok #2 or Spider-Man #1 above, for examples) is drawn by the penciller from the writer's description, then returned to the writer for the actual dialogue. Here's a brief example of dialogue from that process. This is also interesting because it's my only public commentary on (Afrocentric publishing co-op) ANIA's relentless attack on Milestone as "not black enough." While these guys were blowing tons of free publicity by (generally) failing to turn out any decent product to back up their activist stance, Milestone was busy employing three or four dozen black creators (all the while refusing to publicly badmouth ANIA, or any other publishers). In my last story for Marvel Comics, I put ANIA's arguments into the mouth of Marvel's "Moses Magnum" and let Deathlok speak for me. Apropos to ANIA's fake Swahili, I named the story, "Protect and Defend." This single issue of Deathlok outsold the combined print runs of every ANIA book ever printed. Fuck with me....
New Series Proposals
These are pitches I gave to editors, usually to sell them on the idea of doing a new series. Sometimes editors let it be known that they're looking for a new direction on an ongoing title, I've included examples of those kind of pitches, as well. These days, series pitches are much shorter. An editorial attention span thing, I suspect.
X-O Manowar. I've had several requests to add my original pitch for the popular Acclaim series to these pages, so I'm doing it. Fabian Nicieza, Evan Skolnik and Mike Marts edited me for the last 5 issues of this series. They agreed to let me do some outrageously radical stuff to the book, most of which, sadly, never came to pass, as we were cancelled very early in my run. Nevertheless I had a blast on X-O for many reasons, not the least of which was that I got to write Brian Augustin's wonderful creation, Renata Randall, one of my all-time favorite characters. Continuity anal-retentives will note that I won the assignment, despite making the cardinal error of misspelling the name of the book throughout my proposal.
Damage Control. What can I say? This got me in the door. I pitched it blind, because I had too little experience to know that Marvel never buys new series from outsiders with no track record. Guess what? They bought it anyway. With mixed emotions, Tom DeFalco, "against better judgement", handed it off to Mark Gruenwald who had been developing me on Solo Avengers stories. Mark passed it on to Sid Jacobson, who taught me how to make comics.
Deathlok. Intended as a mini-series, this sold so well that Greg Wright and I were awarded an ongoing series immediately after. You'll note some changes between this pitch and the eventual series.
The Ones That Got Away
These are pitches that editors didn't go for. I've also included some that sold but for one reason or another never made it to print.
Young Fantastic Four (graphic novel). The Fantastic Four has always been my dream book. When I sold this graphic novel, I thought the news was too good to be true. It was. My story was rendered moot by the new continuity imposed by a Roger Stern Doctor Doom/Dr. Strange graphic novel. Not only did Roger's story kill my project, the damned thing was so incredibly well done, I couldn't even bitch in good conscience. I later used some of the material, in altered form, in an issue of "WHAT IF?"
RoboCop (ongoing). My first collaboration with Greg Wright. We were on the short list to write this continuation of the popular movie, when Greg was assigned the book to edit. He did the only fair thing and took our proposal out of consideration. Shoot. The many conversations we had about RoboCop ultimately led to our more successful Deathlok pitch.
Hero For Hire (revamp). As a kid, I always wanted to like Luke Cage but I couldn't quite get with him. So when I finally got the chance I put together this pitch, keeping what I liked, dumping what I didn't. This is my all-time favorite of my Marvel pitches, and easily the most rejected. I pitched this approximately every six months for 5 years (except for when the character was revived as CAGE in the early 90's). Eventually I was told by a friendly higher-up that "they're never going to let you write that character, they don't like your attitude and they don't want all that black stuff in there." Whoops. You'll note that some of this stuff has worked its way into Marvel continuity anyway (my beloved cursing bit, for instance) and many of the characters I recycled into HARDWARE. Years later, I would try and fail one more time to do a Luke Cage project, see Marvel Milestone, below.
She-Hulk (ongoing). First I had it, then I didn't. Mere days after selling Marvel Damage Control, Robin Chaplik (the real one, not the one from Blood Syndicate) and I sold a romantic comedy She-Hulk ongoing series to Marvel. John Byrne, just returning from his high-profile DC stint revamping Superman, was told he could do any book he wanted. Incredibly, he wanted She-Hulk. Given the choice between a couple of unknowns and the hottest guy in the business, Marvel thought about it for nearly two tenths of a second, then gave the book to John, as well they should have. Our material was adapted into the She-Hulk: Ceremony bookshelf series. We were told to take the jokes out. We mostly did. Later, when John left the book, I tried to get on it with a Molly Dodd inspired, "dramedy" pitch. No go, but here's a look at it.
Punisher/Iron Man: The Killing Machine (bookshelf mini-series). This one I dreamed up with Xombi and X-Files writer John Rozum. The Punisher steals a suit of Iron Man armor, paints it black with a white skull emblem and goes to town. Iron Man wants it back. This one got lost as editorial teams changed several times while we developed it. I also had vague notions of Jim Rhodes getting the black armor in a sequel. So Mark Bright did some very strong armor designs and we pitched a second Iron Man book starring Rhodey. That didn't happen either, at least not for us. I like to think we had something to do with the War Machine book that came out a few years later. Although admittedly the idea isn't that much of a stretch.
Damage Control/Marshal Law. Imagine my surprise when Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill, the creators of my favorite humor book, the super-hero hating Marshal Law, agreed to let me do a crossover with Damage Control. Imagine my shock when Marvel agreed to an unprecedented crossover between Marvel and its creator-owned Epic imprint. So why didn't it happen? I don't remember. I'm guessing it had something to do with Marshal Law's move from Epic to Dark Horse but I couldn't say for sure. Damn, this would have been funny.
Marvel Milestone. This is the big one. Taking advantage of a window in our then-exclusive contract with DC Comics, in 1995 we developed with Mark Gruenwald and Tom DeFalco a "mini-universe" of interlocking titles set in the Marvel Universe. Milestone was to package the books and Marvel to publish (not unlike the deals Event and Chaos comics later did). We were all very excited about what we came up with together. Unfortunately, Tom DeFalco left, Mark Gruenwald passed away, Marvel went bankrupt and the deal evaporated. We were never able to get it going again with the new regime. These would have been great. They included a slightly re-worked version of my HERO FOR HIRE pitch, a radical reworking of Shang-Chi called DEADLY HANDS, a New Universe spinoff, PSI-HAWK and a Photon-led team book (incorporating Epic's Shadowline) called POWER MEN. One day I'll find the terrific character designs Denys Cowan did for these (especially for Cage!) and I'll post them here.
DC Comics
I have absolutely no luck with these guys. I couldn't sell DC Comics Bristol board during a paper shortage. In addition to some originals that I won't post here because I'm still shopping them elsewhere, I've recently taken a few shots at doing things with established DC characters. No go.
Wonder Girl (mini-series). Editor Paul Kupperberg was looking for pitches for John Byrne's new version of Wonder Girl. I came up with this. Nope. I still want to write a series with a female lead and for what it's worth, I think this would have worked.
Batgirl: The Last Laugh (one-shot). This is my favorite DC idea, if a bit radical. It's sort of a a sequel to The Killing Joke, featuring an all-new Batgirl. I pitched it as an Elseworlds. Two group editors hated it. I still like it.
Batman: Tale of the Black Bat (one-shot). Another Elseworlds story, this one approved by Archie Goodwin. We never got around to doing it, and Archie (in my opinion, the best writer in mainstream comics, ever. He was merely a terrific editor) passed away. The story, set in the future, tells of the historic adventures of the great African-American super-hero Batman. By the time I unearthed the pitch, nobody liked it anymore. I did get an offer to maybe do it as a 19-page back-up. But I think it merits more room than that. Dead forever? Maybe not. I'll probably try again sometime.

Clash of Cultures: Iranian Moderates vs. Hard-Liners; American Official vs. Academic Iran Specialists
Precht, Henry, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
Clash of Cultures: Iranian Moderates vs. Hard-liners; American Official vs. Academic Iran Specialists
Washington was recently the scene of two conferences on Iran. The first, on the U.S. Congress and Iran, featured ex-State Department and congressional staffers. No one giving a paper had spent extended time in the country.
The second session took stock of the 20th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. It was populated by academics, mostly IranianAmericans, who regularly return there. Not only do they know Persian, they speak academic jargon -- even more impenetrable. Balancing each session was a principal speaker from the other side -- an IranianAmerican academic concluded for the staffers while a State Department officer opened for the academics.
The two diagnoses of Iran's condition were cultures apart. Staffers were faithful to Washington's perspective: accusatory, pessimistic, insistent that Iran move toward U.S. standards, little interested in the internal dynamics of Iranian politics. Iran, for all its bitter factionalism, was always discussed in the collective singular. "Iran did this, Iran supports that." No nuances or distinctions. The superb cohesion and discipline that staffers attributed to Iranians are perhaps matched only by the Islamic regime's propaganda about itself.
The academics focused on the outlook for President Mohammad Khatami, with whom they found little fault. Basically hopeful, most seemed convinced Iran's march toward greater democracy was irresistible. Potholes, to be sure. Hard-line religious groups could never regain full power, although their strength should never be underestimated.
The chief challenge for Khatami, academics feared, was economic. Low oil prices constrained him from liberalizing the statedominated economy and dealing with the urgent demands of his supporters, e.g., a million new jobs each year. Khatami also faces the power of foundations that have corruptly exploited assets they took from shah-era enterprises. Iran badly needs investment from expatriates or foreign firms: Neither is coming as long as the economy is unable to modernize and the political future remains in doubt. Academics also were troubled by weak management, especially by Khatami's economic team.
The staffers virtually ignored Iran's economic distress. Consequently, no one asked how a regime struggling to survive and heavily dependent on scarce resources for popular support could invest its limited income in building a military nuclear capability. Nor was there any inquiry into the threats Iran faces and how the nation should best respond to those dangers. Would it make sense to develop nuclear weapons when those facilities would be vulnerable -- as Iraq was -- to a pre-emptive Israeli or U.S. strike?
Neither academics nor staffers discussed Iranian support for terrorism in any detail. A professor asserted the last Iranian assassination abroad was in 1992 (the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Berlin's Mykonos restaurant). …

Succession Management Is Mission Critical To Achieving Organizational Goals
To implement succession management and development process, organizations must identify what they value as talent based on the organization's strategies and tactics. Then, an evaluation can be conducted of the organization's talent pool and developmental needs. Process Integrity is a gauge of the contextual relevance and objectivity of the succession management process. The degree to which competencies and developmental recommendations align with the organization's goals, tactics, and outcomes have a significant impact on the program's success. Organizations can begin to evaluate their program's Process Integrity by examining who provides input into competency development, what objective assessments and other information is taken into account to identify high potential employees, and how employees perceive the leadership development and succession management process.

I have a 89 silverado and was curious if there is a way to tighten the steering from not having so much play in it?
January 1, 2011.
January 1, 2011.
DO NOT attempt to do that. There is a backlash adjustment but it is there for initial setup during assembly. Once the box has wear, all the wear is in the straight ahead position and if you were to adjust that out, it would cause the box to bind up during turns. The only cure for a worn box is a new box. Just make sure it is the box and not a bad pitman arm or coupler.
