Thank you very much for inviting me here to speak on behalf of Human Rights Watch about the one million or more internally displaced in Turkey. I was very impressed to learn that the CSCE had taken the initiative to look into this problem that has received so little attention in the international media, and even less in the Turkish media. Many of the issues the Commission considers are recently emerged crises, or disasters waiting to happen. In this case, the disaster happened ten years ago, but the victims are still, quite unnecessarily, forced to live with its consequences. I say 'unnecessarily' because this is not a zero-sum calculation: the displaced, the Turkish government, and the Turkish people alike will all benefit if an effective plan for return can be drawn up and implemented. This is a practical, do-able project: it is a solution waiting to happen.
The displacements in Turkey began in the late 1980s when the conflict between government security forces and the armed illegal Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) was increasing in intensity. The Turkish authorities' response to PKK attacks in this rugged but quite densely populated and productive region was to demand that each village put up a corps of "village guards." In theory this was voluntary, but in practice, it was a loyalty test. If a community said yes, the men received arms and money. If they said no, then it was assumed that they were PKK supporters and told to evacuate their homes. This was not to be an orderly, documented process of evacuation. In fact, soldiers were careful to avoid leaving a paper trail that might subsequently lead to claims for compensation. If villagers did not move out by the appointed date, soldiers burned their houses and goods, slaughtered their livestock and burned their crops.
It was a punitive exercise. But many villagers who refused to serve as village guards had no sympathy for the PKK. They explain that if they had taken up arms as village guards, then they would have been attacked by the PKK, who at that time were killing village guards they captured, and in some cases their entire families along with them.
During the 1990s, Human Rights Watch documented the forced evacuation of the southeast and other violations of humanitarian law committed by both sides to the conflict. Once relative peace had returned to the region, we went to investigate the current plight of the displaced. The results of that research in 2001 and 2002 are contained in a report entitled "Displaced and Disregarded," and I would like to ask the Commission to include at least the summary and recommendations of that report in the record of this hearing.
In the course of our research I talked to many displaced villagers in Turkey's major cities where they had sought refuge. All described frankly miserable lives, and expressed a bitter sense of the injustice inflicted upon them. If you go to Turkey, you will not see big refugee camps. The displaced have made themselves invisible by crowding in with relatives and neighbors, finding work where they can. But they are farmers, not urban entrepreneurs. They are living in great poverty, in conditions prone to disease and social exclusion, and the overwhelming majority are longing to go home.
For some this is impossible because the local governor has forbidden their village to be reoccupied. Others are turned back by the gendarmerie. Even if both the local governor and gendarmes allow return, the displaced often face obstruction by village guards who have occupied the land in their absence. Again and again, village guards have barred returning villagers from their land, and in several recent cases, even killed them. In July 2002 Yusuf, Abdurrahim and Abdulsamet Ünal returned with their families to Nureddin village in Muº province to collect their hay crop. A truckload of village guards came to stop them gathering the hay, and began to beat the males. The relatives scattered, but heard gunshots shortly after. All three men had been shot dead.
When pressed, the Turkish government pumps out inflated return statistics, and periodically announces initiatives for return. But these schemes have consistently been under-funded and ill conceived, falling far short of established international standards. In fact, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the government's main goal is to gain time and wear the villagers down to a state of resignation. The Village Return and Rehabilitation Project announced in March 1999, for example, has since yielded nothing more than an unpublished feasibility study for return to twelve model villages. A mere twelve, when even according to official statistics it is acknowledged that more than three thousand villages and hamlets were evacuated.
What is particularly frustrating is that because the government's schemes do not meet international standards (in particular the U.N. Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement), no international organizations want to get involved with them. The World Bank, for example, looked into funding a return-related project but backed away once it determined that the Turkish government's scheme would not fully respect returnee rights. Instead of helping villagers get international assistance, the government--with its flawed plans--is standing in their path.
Many intergovernmental organizations that have tackled displacement issues in other parts of the world are already working in Turkey, and would be able to contribute expertise and resources to a comprehensive return program. Indeed, potential donors have encouraged Turkey to develop appropriate projects for return. Irish parliamentarian John Connor examined the situation on behalf of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly last year, and he recommended that the "Council of Europe Development Bank should consider positively the projects related to the returns of displaced persons in the south-eastern regions of Turkey."[1] The Turkish government should have seized that invitation with both hands.
A fair and effective return program would also serve Turkey's interest in accession to the European Union. The E.U. has identified the need for a "comprehensive approach to reduce regional disparities, and in particular to improve the situation in the South-East,"[2] as a short-term priority for Turkey on the road to E.U. membership. E.U. resources would very likely be made available to help Turkey meet this goal.
And finally, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline deserves a mention here. This ambitious international investment rather accurately draws a line around the quarter of Turkey where the displacement occurred. The displaced are undeniably the most disadvantaged group in that most disadvantaged region of the country. There is considerable public debate about the pipeline--but it cannot be disputed that the project should help support return and reconstruction for these people who are otherwise unlikely to see much benefit from the civil engineering project itself, or the resources it is intended to carry.
In sum, an investment in return to Turkey's southeast would help redress a long-standing violation of fundamental rights, and help ensure the future stability and prosperity of this strategically vital region. Donors certainly appreciate that, and only need the Turkish government to commit to a plan they can support.
So my appeal to you is for something rather straightforward and relatively inexpensive. Get the ball rolling. Use your influence to press the Turkish government, as a matter of urgent priority, to convene a planning forum, inviting representatives of interested governments, nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations with relevant expertise, and representatives of the displaced, to develop a plan for safe return in conformity with international standards. Once these parties come together to meet and discuss, then the plight of Turkey's displaced will finally be on the agendas and wall planners of the people and institutions that can make a difference.
Take as your starting point the recommendation of the U.N. Representative of the Secretary-General on internally displaced persons, Dr. Francis Deng, following his visit to Turkey last year: "The Government might consider convening a meeting with international agencies, including the World Bank, and representatives of the potential partners to explore ways in which the international community could assist the Government in responding to the needs of the displaced."[3]

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Paul George did a little bit of everything
Thursday, totaling 24 points, 11 rebounds, six steals and five assists as the
Indiana Pacers took advantage of Carmelo Anthony's absence in an 81-76 victory
over the New York Knicks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Ian Mahinmi was the only
other Indiana player who finished in double figures, adding 13 points off
the bench in the club's third straight win and fifth in six games. The Pacers
held the Knicks to 26 points below their average two days after limiting the
reigning NBA-champion Miami Heat to 77 points. Anthony was serving a one-
game ban handed down by the league for confronting Boston's Kevin Garnett
following Monday's loss against the Celtics. Without the league's second
leading scorer, New York shot 35 percent from the field to drop back-to-back
games for just the third time this season. J.R. Smith scored a game-high
25 points, while Tyson Chandler added 12 points and 15 rebounds in the
Final Score: Dallas 117, Sacramento 112 (OT)
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - O.J. Mayo had 24 points, 10 rebounds and
five assists to give Dallas a 117-112 overtime win against Sacramento on
Thursday. Vince Carter scored 23 points and added five rebounds while
Shawn Marion posted 19 points with 10 rebounds for the Mavericks, who
snapped a four-game slide. DeMarcus Cousins scored 29 points and added nine
rebounds for the Kings, who have dropped their past three games. Tyreke
Evans had 20 points and seven boards off the bench in the loss.
Final Score: Portland 92, Miami 90
Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Although they were outplayed for most of the
night, the Portland Trail Blazers kept their home winning streak intact.
Wesley Matthews nailed a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute, including the
go-ahead triple with 26.9 seconds left in the Trail Blazers' 92-90 win over
the Miami Heat. It was Portland's ninth straight home win. Nicolas Batum had
28 points, seven rebounds and five assists for Portland, which hasn't
dropped a home decision since Dec. 8 against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron
James finished with just 15 points, the first time all season he's been held
below the 20-point barrier. James was 12 games away from matching the most
consecutive 20-point games to start a season since the NBA-ABA merger at 45,
held by George Gervin in 1981-82. Chris Bosh netted 29 points to lead the
Heat, who have dropped three of their last four games.

Actress not dragon her feet at world's end
"Shrek the Musical"
WHERE: Clay Center
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
TICKETS: $40 and $61
INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.org
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- If the Mayan apocalypse spells the end of world sometime Friday, Courtney Daniels knows how she'll be spending at least some of her last few hours on earth. The actress will be on stage at the Clay Center Thursday night as part of the cast of "Shrek: The Musical."
Daniels said, "My goal will be to have the best show ever with my company."
It should be a good night for her, too. Daniels thought the tour's stop in Charleston was where her parents would finally catch up to see the show.
"That's a real blessing," she said. "I'm going to have everybody rooting for me."
Daniels said that, if the world ends Friday, she'd die a happy woman.
". . . In a bear costume."
Among her roles in "Shrek: The Musical," Daniels plays Mama Ogre (Shrek's mother) and Mama Bear (of the Three Bears), and she's the voice of the dragon.
"The dragon is the size of half a football field," she said. "It takes four puppeteers to operate it."
And while that might sound like an easy part for her -- all she has to do is deliver lines --Daniels has to do that and make quick costume changes that involve going from being painted green to wearing the aforementioned bear suit.
If the world doesn't come to some sort of end before the weekend, Daniels said, she has a pretty busy year ahead. The "Shrek" tour continues through winter and well into spring. She's hopeful that, eventually, the work she does on "Shrek" will help her find other work after that.
"I'm hoping for Broadway," she said cheerfully. "I'm hoping to stay put in New York, but this [touring] is what I have to do."
Not that she's complaining.
Daniels was young when she took to acting. Born and raised in Bermuda, she said she discovered a love for theater after watching the film "Grease."
"I saw it, like, 80 times and, by then, my mother knew I wanted to do this."
Daniels got involved in community theater. In her teens, her family moved to America, she got involved in acting in school and eventually got acting jobs at equity houses. She studied in New York, including at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.
Before taking the job with "Shrek," she worked for Disney, appeared in a production of "The Drowsy Chaperone" and spent five years as part of a theater workshop called "Disenchanted."
"I've done a little bit of everything, which I'm happy about, blessed about," she said.
Daniels said her experience with "Shrek" has been a good one. She's learned a lot, been able to work in her chosen field and seen some amazing things in the past six months.
She joined "Shrek" in June while it was touring Asia. On that leg of the tour, the production stopped in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Shanghai, China. Daniels said they visited the Great Wall of China and performed for people who seldom see shows like the one she's part of.
"That was a real culture shock," she said. "They're very reserved. They don't clap that loud and you don't really know if they like it or not until they tell you."
Asia was an amazing experience. Still, she said she could have done without the 17-hour flight.
"If you really love what you do, the touring is not so bad."
If the world does end Friday, Daniels said, she's ready for it. However, she hopes that's not what happens. She still has a lot she wants to do.

Falwell's mountains
Until the past 30 years, many Baptists (and evangelicals generally) tended toward separatism, refraining from political involvement. Jerry Falwell was instrumental in changing all that. He persuaded millions around the country to dive into the muck of politics, and those efforts splattered the windshields of others who became hostile. He energized both supporters and opponents
LYNCHBURG, Va.- Realtor Brenda Phelps likes to point out the sights to those contemplating a move to Lynchburg: "There's Jerry's church. There's Jerry's mountain." Once, when asked if Jerry Falwell personally owned that land overlooking the city, she said no, Liberty University did-"but it's Jerry's mountain."
Lynchburg is one of those cities that, in the Roman tradition, claim to be built on seven hills, and Jerry Falwell, who died on May 15 at age 73, was a man of many mountains. He's probably best known for founding the Moral Majority in 1979 and quickly growing it to 6.5 million members: It played a major role in electing Ronald Reagan but faded in the late 1980s.
Liberty University is another Falwell mountain: It began as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 and several times seemed leveled financially, but it now claims almost 10,000 students in residence, with 15,000 more in distance learning programs. He hoped some day to have Liberty play Notre Dame in football, and joked to WORLD last month that he was officially Liberty's chancellor but primarily its athletic director.
A third mountain is Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church, which he started with 35 members in 1956 in an abandoned Donald Duck Bottling Company plant. It now has 22,000 members in a building opened last year that seems to sprawl as far as the Blue Ridge off in the distance, with spots near the sanctuary for adults to buy coffee, teens to buy pizza, and children to romp in a playscape.
Falwell climbed almost every fundraising mountain. Small contributions that came in through the "Old Time Gospel Hour," a pioneering evangelistic show carried on TV stations throughout the United States, supported "Jerry's church" and his schools, along with homes for unwed mothers and alcoholics. Big contributions are evident in Liberty campus buildings with names like LaHaye Student Center and DeMoss Learning Center.
He was also a mountain of a man, with a girth that long put his health in jeopardy, but he remained optimistic about his remaining time in this life. In a phone meeting in March he said that he planned to continue as chancellor for another 13 years, until he was 86. In his 1997 autobiography he wrote, "God may call me home today, and I would have no regrets or complaints, but in my heart of hearts I actually believe that He is going to give me another 20 or 30 years. If you read some day soon that 'Jerry Falwell has died,' be assured that I was greatly surprised."
Last month, during a meeting in his office in Liberty's administration building, the Carter-Glass Mansion, he was clearly enjoying life. Falwell's father had been an entrepreneur who ran bootleg whiskey during Prohibition and staged illegal cockfights and dogfights in his barn, and here Chancellor Falwell was sitting in the former home of Senator Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury under Woodrow Wilson, surrounded by plaques and art work (including one depicting Mickey Mantle) that displayed his accomplishments and passions (he was a New York Yankees fan).
Falwell spoke of the presidential aspirants who were making pilgrimages to Lynchburg as they had for nearly three decades; Newt Gingrich was scheduled to be the commencement speaker on May 19. He had something to say about each political visitor. He was pleased to have hired new football and basketball coaches during the past 15 months and excited by all the prospective students who were visiting Liberty during a campus preview weekend.
He seemed more joyful than prideful in his role as a political player and leader, and spoke of his willingness to make provocative statements: He didn't mean to be harsh, but he wanted to tell the truth, and he had long ago realized that bold speaking would bring press attention to issues that otherwise would be ignored. Those provocative words about homosexuality, in which he expressed love for sinners but hatred for the sin, were what many critics remembered when he died.
After he collapsed in his Carter-Glass office on May 15, some headlines remembered Falwell the way traditionalist football coaches refer to a forward pass. (Three things can happen-completion, interception, incompletion-and two of them are bad.) CNN.com was typical with its headline, "Falwell's legacy: faith, hate or Teletubbies?" The last reference was to a criticism of the PBS toddler TV character Tinky Winky by a magazine under Falwell's authority.
Others reported the views of those within liberal press circles: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette headline read, "Falwell's tactics viewed as extreme; people here saw him as a too strident visionary." The Vancouver Sun announced that "Canadian evangelicals dismissed Falwell's views," and the Globe and Mail in Toronto said Falwell was "one of a kind, thank God; there's no successor for this big, booming, bigoted man."
Some gay activists disgraced themselves. In San Francisco on the day Falwell died, demonstrators carried a 3-foot-high Tinky Winky to Castro and 18th streets, sometimes called "the crossroads of Gay America," and "reminded people about this Bible-beating bigot's horrible legacy." One activist put down a square of AstroTurf to represent Falwell's grave and invited people to dance on it; some did. Gay blogger Michael Petrelis predicted more fun to come: "When uber-bigot and primo gay-hater Senator Jesse Helms finally meets his maker, our subsequent celebration will make the Falwell event look like a Sunday tea party at the vicarage."
Some gay blog commenters disagreed with such tactics. One wrote, "This is just trashy. i'm bi and i try to lead by example: what kind of example does childish behavior like this set?" Others called it "a TOTALLY classless display" and warned that "protests against him now (and celebrations of his death) can easily backfire in the media."
But many blogs included comments ranging from "When I heard that Falwell had died I opened a bottle of champagne" to "Hopefully someone runs a train on your corpse." Some atheists expressed sudden belief in the existence of hell, as long as that would be Falwell's destination. Other reactions, unprintable here, received admonitions in response: "Hey man, regardless of your thoughts, the man is dead and a whole community is grieving. Give it some time before you bash."
In Lynchburg, a whole community was grieving. Realtor Brenda Phelps described how five days before Falwell died he handed out diplomas to pre-kindergarten kids at his church's early learning center. He tapped her grandson on the head with his diploma, hugged others, and posed for photos. "It was such a proud thing for us," Phelps recalled. "How loved he was."
In the 1960s Phelps lived near Falwell's early church building, and she recalls, "My daddy absolutely could not stand him." One Sunday churchgoers parked in front of their house. After that, "My daddy would take kitchen chairs and sit out in the street just so they couldn't park there. He said to Jerry, 'You may get all of Lynchburg but you'll never get me.' A couple of years later Jerry reminded my daddy of that when he baptized him."
Phelps said her father "had been an alcoholic, had never been inside of a church. Then he was caught drinking and driving. . . . He went to Jerry the next day and Jerry helped lead him to the Lord." Her father stopped drinking, stopped cursing, and became a church usher.
Lynchburg has many stories like that, and Falwell knew about how God changes people-starting with himself. As a high-school student with an atheistic dad and a devout mom, he was a star athlete but also a joker who lost his opportunity to give his high-school valedictorian's speech when he was caught using counterfeit lunch tickets. He messed around with what were then called juvenile delinquents until he became a born-again Christian at age 19.
Falwell later changed in other ways as well. He admitted in his autobiography that he was once a racist. He at times apologized for over-the-top statements. In recent years he said that he was not a fundamentalist. He also oversaw change at Liberty: The coats and ties that male students wore at Liberty seven years ago have largely disappeared, and diverse strains of Bible-upholding Christian theology are present now among the faculty.
But he did not change his folksy, country-preacher style, and that grated among some members of the press. Nor did he change the position on gay rights that he summarized in his autobiography 10 years ago: "Although I see homosexual practice as a moral wrong and do not favor their being singled out as a specially protected minority, I do not want to deny homosexual men or lesbian women their civil rights or take away their right to accommodations of employment or even their right to teach in public schools as long as they don't use the classroom to promote homosexuality as an alternative life-style."
That was a long way from sufficient for gay lobbyists. Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, called Falwell "someone who demonized and vilified us for political gain and someone who used religion to divide rather than unite our nation." But Alan Chambers, president of the outreach ministry Exodus International, recalled the pastor's support for those who struggled with their same-sex attraction: "Rev. Falwell will be remembered for his consistent emphasis on the truth that Jesus Christ loves and offers salvation to every individual regardless of their past."
He is survived by his wife, Macel; his daughter, Jeannie Savas, a surgeon in Richmond; and two sons who have already become his successors. Jerry Falwell Jr., a lawyer, held the office of Junior Chancellor of Liberty University and immediately became Chancellor upon his dad's death. Jonathan Falwell automatically became pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church upon his father's death.
They have mountains to climb. Many in this city along the James River loved Falwell as a minister and enjoyed his zest for living. When he walked into Liberty's arena for a basketball game, they greeted him with cries of "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" He would pose for photos with body-painted students and add to the crowd noise. When an official once asked his help in calming fans within the arena that became known as "the Furnace," Falwell replied, "It's taken me years to get them to act like this!"
Three years ago he said, "One day in a wheelchair, I plan to be at the 50 yard-line in South Bend when we whip Notre Dame. . . . I may be in a coffin, but that's where we're headed."
In their own words: Supporters and detractors remember Jerry Falwell
"Over the years we became friends; sometimes we had polar opposite points of view. . . . He's left his footprints in the sands of time." -Jesse Jackson
"Next to my own father, he had more influence on my life than any other person. He was a man of deep compassion and prayer and he will be greatly missed."
-Ed Dobson, Falwell assistant who helped found the Moral Majority and co-authored the Moral Majority critique, Blinded by Might
"I have lost a great friend. America has lost a great patriot."
-Paige Patterson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary president
"It breaks my heart to think that Jerry died without ever discovering the truth about God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children. I sincerely hope that one day his school and his church will have a change of heart."
-Mel White, former Falwell staffer, now a homosexual activist and president of Soulforce
"The critics of Jerry Falwell will undoubtedly remind the nation of some of the times when he misspoke or made mistakes. . . . But from my vantage point, he was playing in the major leagues of the public square-the battle for the ideas that shape America."
-Michael Farris, Patrick Henry College chancellor
"Dr. Falwell was a man of distinguished accomplishment who devoted his life to serving his faith and country."
-Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
"Unfortunately, we will always remember him as a founder and leader of America's anti-gay industry, someone who exacerbated the nation's appalling response to the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic, someone who demonized and vilified us for political gain and someone who used religion to divide rather than unite our nation."
-Matt Foreman, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force executive director
"Rev. Falwell will be remembered for his consistent emphasis on the truth that Jesus Christ loves and offers salvation to every individual regardless of their past."
-Alan Chambers, Exodus International president
"For all of his polarizing statements and controversies, Falwell undeniably initiated a season of growing evangelical influence in American politics."
-Mark Tooley, Institute on Religion and Democracy
"I believe Jerry Falwell's primary legacy will not be his political leadership, but the church he pastored for 50 years; the university he founded that has produced two generations of leaders; the millions who heard him preach the Good News; the innovations in ministry he introduced; and the thousands of young pastors, like myself, whom he constantly encouraged, even when we did it differently."
-Rick Warren, pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life
-compiled by Kristin Chapman
A public journey
Jerry Falwell's journey began as a fundamentalist with the Baptist Bible Fellowship and ended as an evangelical with the Southern Baptist Convention:
Aug. 11, 1933: Born in Lynchburg, Va.
1956: Following graduation from Bible College in Springfield, Mo., he starts Thomas Road Baptist Church with 35 people, later launches "The Old Time Gospel Hour" ministry that includes radio and television programs.
1971: Opens Lynchburg Baptist College with 154 students and four teachers, later renames it Liberty University.
1972: The SEC sues the church for "fraud and deceit" for issuance of $6.5 million in uninsured bonds. Falwell won the case in court in 1973, but Liberty filed for bankruptcy and reorganized, losing millions in church investors' money.
1979: Founds the Moral Majority to advance conservatism and Christian values through political action.
1980: His work at rallying Christians to the GOP helps Ronald Reagan to win the presidency-"my finest hour."
1983: U.S. News & World Report ranks him as one of 25 most influential Americans.
1984: Loses libel lawsuit against Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine over an obscene parody, but a jury awards him $200,000 for emotional distress. The Supreme Court overturns the award in 1988.
1989: The Moral Majority disbands; he declares, "mission accomplished!"
1990s: He struggles with financial crises that began in the 1980s-with debt peaking at $73 million-but begin to clear when an anonymous donor in 1997 pays off the indebtedness and tighter financial controls are instituted.
1996: Aligns his church with the Southern Baptist Convention.
2001: Suggests that feminists, homosexuals, and the ACLU are partly to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks; apologizes following an outpouring of criticism.
2002: Sparks international outrage by his comment on CBS' 60 Minutes that the Prophet Muhammad was a terrorist.
2004: Transfers day-to-day administration of Thomas Road Church and Liberty University to sons Jonathan and Jerry Jr., to focus on his new Faith and Values Coalition, later renamed the Moral Majority Coalition.
2005: Hospitalized twice with serious heart and lung problems.
2006: Celebrates the 50th anniversary of Thomas Road Church, which now claims over 20,000 members and a new 6,000-seat sanctuary.
2007: Dies May 15 in Lynchburg of a heart problem at age 73.

What better way to say "Happy Holidays" than with a card featuring black evening gowns, lots of cleavage, and the absence of most of the male members of your family?
The Kardashians can't think of anything better!
On Sunday's episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians: a Very Merry Christmas," the family unveiled the card. The show's producers, E! Network, called it "stunning" but you might have another word for it.
The bizarre panoramic card is filled with huge gold dollar signs, cluttered carnival-like colors and Bruce Jenner – seemingly trapped in a glass case – to mark the holiday season.
Bruce, who announced his split from wife and Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner earlier this year, is the only man included in the card aside from Kourtney Kardashian's young son Mason. Noticeably absent are Kim's fiance Kanye West and the couple's daughter, North West, and Khloe's troubled husband Lamar Odom, who has been suspected of abusing crack cocaine in recent months.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa State University grain storage expert says farmers should make sure they have a plan in place to handle corn that could have inconsistent levels of moisture, making this year's crop more likely to develop mold problems.
Professor Charles Hurburgh says the cold and wet spring followed by a heat wave late in
the growing season results in a crop characterized by inconsistency.
He says farmers should make sure to get their corn cooled and dried as soon as possible
after harvest because sharp differences in maturity, weight and moisture content create the
potential for spoilage once the grain is stored in a bin.
Corn value drops if more than 5 percent shows mold and falls dramatically if mold
spreads to more than 20 percent of the kernels.
Agri-Line - Le Mars Agricultural Connection
AMES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa State University grain storage expert says farmers should make sure they have a plan in place to handle corn that could have inconsistent levels of moisture, making this year's crop more likely to develop mold problems.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Nine Iowa organizations focused on growing specialty crops will receive government grants totaling more than $250,000.
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service provides the funding to allow farmers to diversify and give customers access to locally grown products including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and flowers.
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says in a statement Tuesday agricultural non-profit organizations, cooperatives, and producer groups could to apply for funding.
Iowa State University received money to develop and improve the production of organic apples.
Other recipients include Iowa City Parks and Recreation to fund a perennial specialty crops demonstration site and classes, Iowa Valley Resource Conservation and Development to train Iowa Valley Food Co-op producers to become wholesale marketers, and Practical Farmers of Iowa to educate specialty crop producers about pesticide drift and prevention.
AMES, Iowa (AP) - A new teaching job at Iowa State University will focus on corn genetics research.
The university says an endowed faculty position in genetics will be established at its agronomy department. Patrick Schnable, a current ISU professor, will hold the inaugural position.
The Iowa Corn Promotion Board, which is helping to fund the endowment, is also investing in a new public-private collaboration that develops genomic information.
Schnable is an agronomy professor and director of ISU's Center for Plant Genomics. He is credited with leading wide-ranging research into the corn genome.
(LE MARS, Iowa) —The history of the pork industry's prominence in Lyon, Sioux and Plymouth Counties is the focus of a new book Pigs! Lifting Mortgages, People and Communities being released by pork producer associations within the three counties.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Kyle Barone delivered a double-double
consisting of 25 points and 11 rebounds as he helped guide the Idaho Vandals
to a 71-64 win over the Seattle Redhawks in Western Athletic Conference play
at KeyArena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Vandals (5-6, 1-0 WAC) were Robert
Harris and Connor Hill with 16 and 12 points, respectively, as the team won
for the second time in the last three outings.
D'Vonne Pickett shot 8-of-12 from the floor as he finished with 17 points
as the Redhawks (5-6, 0-1) played their first Division I conference game in 33
years. Clarence Trent accounted for 14 points and Deshaun Sunderhaus 10 as the
team had a two-game win streak snapped.
Idaho led by as many as eight points less than eight minutes into the first
half, but the visitors allowed Seattle to hit on 51.6 percent from the floor
in the period. Despite converting just 2-of-10 from 3-point range over the
first 20 minutes of action, the Redhawks still moved out to a 36-33 lead at
the break.
In the second half the hosts made a mere nine field goals and were just 2-of-7
on the perimeter as they allowed Idaho to battle back and eventually claim the
seven-point road win.
In a game that featured eight ties and 10 lead changes, the Redhawks ended up
being outscored 20-10 at the free-throw line.
Seattle, which left the NCAA in 1980 in order to compete at the NAIA level,
began the process of transitioning back to Div I status in 2008 and after four
seasons as an Independent, made the move to the WAC beginning this season.

Minor League Awards Announced
This entry is getting posted from the Royals Caravan bus, but isn't about Royals Caravan…yet! The Kansas tour just wrapped up a visit to Greensburg, Kan., and we are now heading to Hutchinson before finishing Day Two in Wichita. We'll have a full caravan report once we hit the hotel in Wichita. But, until then…
On Tuesday, Media Relations announced the overall minor league player and pitcher of the year. Here are the details from the release:
The Kansas City Royals have named infielder Mike Aviles and left-handed pitcher Rowdy Hardy the Alex George Royals Minor League Players of the Year for 2007.
Aviles, 26, had a tremendous season for Triple-A Omaha, hitting .296 (159-for-538) with 27 doubles, six triples, 17 home runs, 77 RBI and 78 runs scored. He led the O-Royals in hits, RBI, runs, at-bats and triples while playing games at second base, third base and shortstop. The resident of Middletown, N.Y., picks up his second Royals Minor League Player of the Year award after winning in 2003 while playing for the Surprise Royals. Aviles was the Royals seventh round pick in the 2003 Draft.
Hardy, 25, dominated in the Carolina League in 2007, compiling a 15-5 mark with a 2.48 ERA in 26 appearances, including 22 starts. The 6-foot-3, 170-pound lefty started the Class A All-Star Game and was also named the Carolina League Pitcher of the Year following the season in a vote of league managers. Hardy tossed three complete games and issued just 16 walks in 167 innings. A Tennessee resident, Hardy was signed by the Royals as a non-drafted free agent in 2006.

The 51st Fresno & 58th Detroit Autorama - Autorama 2-PackWritten by Eric Geisert on May 20, 2010
"It was great just to be nominated" is a phrase you hear a lot when they hand out awards for the movies or TV shows, but that's how every attendee feels after showing their ride at Blackie Gejeian's Fresno Autorama. Gejeian, 84, has spent the past five decades culling the best of the best show cars from different venues around the country to make up the guest list for the annual Fresno Autorama.
Only if you attend every show in the country would you have the chance to see the list of impressive show winners that attend the Fresno show. It is not uncommon to see the current America's Most Beautiful Roadster winner across the aisle from this year's Ridler recipient, which is shown just a few feet from a top show contender from the Midwest. But even Blackie says he "was surprised this year by the quality of workmanship," and that's saying something considering his 50th show last year was a high-water mark for him.
Blackie was so impressed with a few of the folks who took the time to restore their shop and/or push trucks from decades ago that he gave four of them a special spot in the middle of the Nostalgia Room. Only a former dirt track owner and racer such as Blackie would think of showcasing those types of hot rods at a high-end indoor car show.
Another unique aspect of the Fresno Autorama is there are only two "Best" trophies handed out for the show: Best Rod and Best Custom-there is no second place or "Best Use of Rock Salt" awards. Best Custom was given to Gene and Earlene Elpers from Evansville, Indiana, for their mint-green '46 Chevy pickup and Best Rod went to Jerry Magnuson for his '32 Muroc roadster. Blackie also surprised a few folks when he announced he would take 2011 off from producing the Fresno Autorama to address some nagging health issues, but plans to be back in 2012. Concerning the 2010 show, Gejeian understated the fact when he said he "was happy with the way it turned out," and so was everyone else.
The 58th Detroit Autorama
The Detroit Autorama (or, simply "Detroit" to those who attend regularly) is, all at once, a spectacle, a sensory-inducing event, and a little bit of circus thrown in for good measure. Now in its 58th year, the show attracts the very best builders in the country in the hopes of not just winning a First Place trophy for their particular class, but perhaps to be picked as one of the eight contenders (collectively known as the Pirelli Great 8) for the show's top prize: The Don Ridler Memorial Award, given to a car owner whose first-time-shown car exhibits creativity along with a masterful attention to detail
For the spectators, there were nearly 1,000 vehicles on display at the show, with entries coming from 22 states and 2 Canadian provinces. Being Detroit based, the show leans a little more towards the performance side when speaking about the show cars, so you'll find more show-'n'-go vehicles featured than you'd find on a West Coast-based event.
In another area of the show a 70th anniversary exhibit of the '40 Ford showcased many examples of the venerable vehicle, from truck to coupe. Another facet of the show is the Detroit Autorama Extreme, a show-within-a-show located in the 100,000-square-foot basement of Cobo Center. Now in its sixth year, the Extreme features more traditional hot rods along with a good helping of the outrageous rat rod type of car.
Though some have wondered, with the nation's economy the way that it is, if attendance fell or the quality of the cars suffered at one of the country's premier indoor car shows, but we saw no evidence of either, and everyone is looking forward as the Detroit Autorama marches on towards its 60th anniversary in 2012.

Davidson County --The North Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal car crash on I-85.
Troopers say that a woman died in a one car accident on Interstate 85.
It happened on the northbound side at mile marker 100, Sunday. This is a stretch of interstate between Lexington and Thomasville.
Troopers say that the call came in just after 4PM. They believe that the driver, identified as Shelley Hughes Jennings, 38, fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the road. They say Jennings then over-corrected crossing the three Northbound lanes. The car overturned down an embankment and hit a tree.
Troopers say Jennings was not wearing a seatbelt. Her 11-year-old son, also in the front seat, was wearing a seatbelt. Troopers say his physical injuries are minor.

Item # FRS0178
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 26-inch Suspension Forks in stock than that.View Similar Products
FOX Racing Shox 36 Float 26in 160 FIT RC2 Fork $0.00
Fox Racing Shox's 36 series forks have a loyal following among the free ride and all-mountain sets. And the Fox 36 Float 160 RC2 FIT Fork represents the latest incarnation of this legendary platform. Its sealed damper keeps the stroke controlled over chunky descents and rough landings, while the 36mm stanchions and 20mm through axle keep this fork coming back for more.
Fox's employs its highly refined FIT damper technology in order to keep the 36 Float feeling consistent across variable terrain. Unsurprisingly, 'FIT' is an acronym, and it stands for Fox Isolated Technology. Basically, this means that the damper is contained within a sealed cartridge. This is a significant improvement over open bath systems, which expose the damper oil to air. The downside to an open bath system is that, under hard riding, the oil can foam, creates air bubbles. In turn, those bubbles cause inconsistencies in the damper's ride quality. But, with a sealed damper, such as Fox's FIT system, the damper oil is isolated from air, and thus it's protected from contamination. This means that your suspension feels the same at the bottom of a half-hour descent as it did when you started.
The RC2 designation hints at the external tuning options available for this fork. The R is for rebound, which controls how fast your fork returns to the top of its travel. The C2 portion refers to the compression damping adjustments -- high-speed and low-speed. Basically, having the ability to independently tune your high-speed and low-speed compression enables your fork to simultaneously feel plush over rough terrain, and ride high in its travel to provide a predictable steering feel. Having a light amount of high-speed compression damping lets your fork gobble up hard, sharp-edged hits. And running plenty of low-speed compression ensures that your fork won't dive under hard braking, or bottom out on the lip of a jump.
One of the eye-catching features of the 36 Float is its Kashima stanchions. In addition to being 100% gold-er than the competition, Kashima coating greatly improves the surface hardness of the stanchions. Also, it covers up any surface irregularities on a microscopic level. This equates to improved wear life over standard stanchion coatings, but even better, this coating translates to reduced friction between the stanchions and the bushings. So, you'll get the smoothest possible suspension action, while the 'bling factor' is just a nice bonus.
And while the 36 chassis has been a part of Fox's lineup for years, this version benefits from weight-reducing measures that keep it downright modern. Unnecessary material has been shaved from the lowers, while areas that see significant stresses, such as the disc-side dropout and the brake arch, remain characteristically burly. When combined with its tapered steerer tube, as well as a 20mm thru-axle, this may well be the stiffest single crown fork in existence. Better yet, it weighs in well under five pounds. And that means that you're looking at a fork that's strong enough for the most aggressive free riders, while still being light enough to pedal to the top of your favorite descent.
The Fox Racing Shox 36 Float 160 RC2 FIT Fork is available with a tapered steerer tube, 20mm dropouts, and in the color Black.

Perfect for burly AM or light DH
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Don't need a huge dual crown fork, but need something stiffer than the lighter 32-35mm single crown forks? This is perfect for someone looking for a burly fork for their AM bike or a smaller rider looking for a light fork for a light duty freeride/mini DH bike.
The 36mm platform is very stiff, and my favorite part about this fork (in comparison to the 34 forks) is the RC2 damper which gives you much more control over the tuning of your fork. If you don't like tuning forks and/or don't need something super stiff for bombing through choppy terrain then the 34 would probably be your best bet. The CTD damper in the 34 is still great (for 2014) and is better for the set it and forget it crowd.
I like to be able to fine tune my fork though, and I also like to ride my AM bike on some pretty aggressive trails, so I have loved my 36 Float.
I should add, I only did 4 stars on this because I reserve 5 stars for truly perfect/game changing gear. I'd endorse this fork as described for sure and am a happy customer. Amazing fork, but for the price I would expect it to be amazing.

Good Day. For the Nexus Semi-Dry Flex Snorkel, can you take it apart for cleaning? If not, are there snorkels that can be taken apart or ones that you can remove the upper water valve? I have an Aqua-Lung snorkel that I can clean with a long brush after removing the upper water valve. Thanks and have a good day. Bill
Im looking for a mask that I had a couple of years ago the best way to tell you about it it had a glass that covered the noise and let me breathe out of my noise with a one way vaule. I used it for snorking and it was not a full face mask. Any ideas where I could get one.
Hello Ralph, you are looking for a mask that has a one-way purge valve like: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-32/127345/Ocean-Quest-Arctic-Clear-High-Definition-Panoramic-Purge-Mask.html.
The most important consideration in mask selection is fit. No two faces are alike, and the SCUBAPRO broad range takes individual differences into account.
The basic difference in masks lies in the number of lenses. Single-lens masks were the first developed and remain a popular choice worldwide because they
provide a broad, uninterrupted view.
With the advent of silicone skirts, twin-lens masks have become increasingly popular because they typically lower internal volume.
To increase peripheral vision and transfer more light, SCUBAPRO has incorporated side lenses into selected masks.
Single-lens mask featuring a unique assembly of lens and skirt without a frame.
Original unique design for unbeatable comfort and fit and classic robust quality.
Buckles positioned on exterior of mask body for convenience and comfort.
Reduced weight, size and volume makes clearing water easy.

I got Zimbra up and running today on Fedora Core 4, however the instructions in the Quick Start guide are missing a number of steps. Fortunately I was able to track those down via the forum, thanks to the responses of KevinH of Zimbra.
But a suggestion for KevinH, if the quick start instructions were updated, it would solve lots of common problems making it less frustrating for those trying to install the product.
Key items I found lacking in the quick start guide were:
1. the need to create a sym link to libcrypto.so and libssl.so
2. ensure that FQDN entries in /etc/hosts appear before hostnames, otherwise the creation of the certificate will fail.
3. the correct procedures to install the certificate for both the mta and mailbox
But to Zimbra, thanks for what looks like a really impressive product. Now to actually test the operations as opposed to installation issues. Albeit I've got the Exchange migration issue to test further down the track.

Trucking-Global logistics: Penske rolls out new Mexico location
July 16, 2010 - LM Editorial
Penske Truck Leasing, a subsidiary of global transportation services provider Penske Corporation, said this week it has opened up a new facility in Tijuana, Mexico.
The 12,000 square-foot facility located in the Tijuana Otay Mesa Industrial area, is comprised of four service bays and a wash bay, and it serves nearly 70 vehicles and 14 lease customers.
A Penske spokesman told LM that the company has had operations in Mexico for 13 years, and Tijuana is the fourth location, with the other locations in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Huichapan and Monterrey.
"We elected to open a Tijuana location to better serve our customers in Mexico," said the spokesman. "Previously, our Mexican customers had been serviced from our San Diego locations in the U.S., and the opening of a Tijuana location allows us to better serve Mexican customers and pursue new opportunities for full-service truck leasing and contract maintenance opportunities."
The Tijuana facility is located at Calle 5 Sur No. 1080 and its hours of operation of Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday.
"We are proud to open this convenient facility for our Tijuana and Baja area customers," said Al Hernandez, Director General, Penske de Mexico, in a statement. "It is a first-class facility. Tijuana is one of Mexico's largest and fastest growing markets."

I recently ordered some Accuvin test strips to play with. These little strips test wine for pH, sugar, acidity, lactic acid, malic acid, and free SO2. They don't display an exact number, but a "color" that is matched to a range of measurements. I tested some against wines from our production and they were reliably accurate. They're designed for the home winemaking market, but I also recommend the pH, residual sugar, and acidity test kits to serious wine aficionados.
Our business model is designed to absorb economic shock. When income falls, luxuries like expensive wine are one of the first casualties. This causes a chain reaction—it hits retailers first, so they tighten their belts and buy less from distributors, who in turn buy less from wineries. Retailers and distributors focus on budget-conscious selections, and drop some brands altogether. Brand positioning takes a lot of time and effort, so at this point it's too late for wineries who positioned themselves as expensive collectibles to drastically revise their pricing and presentation. In times like these, retailers remain loyal to those wines that are affordable, delicious, and reasonably priced. We're pleased to report that our retail distribution is still strong and that we released the 2007 Cujo Zinfandel ($19) three months early in order to meet demand!
I grew up on a Christmas tree farm, and my dad was born on Christmas Day, so Christmas has always had an extra-special place in my heart. This week as I was going through some boxes of photos to make a family scrapbook for my son, I came across a letter I wrote to Santa when I was a long time ago.
With rain in the forecast, and Dan gone to Santa Cruz for a few days, I decided to build a roaring fire and make a big pot of heary clam chowder. I used FoodTV chef Tyler Florence's Classic Clam Chowder recipe but with a few adds of my own.
I'd like to share some recent comments from our fans and customers. Thank you so much! From Rich Lappo in San Diego: "Just wanted to pass along some props. We had our monthly foodie cook-fest Saturday night. One of the guests this time was a chef-friend that originally trained and worked New Orleans, so he obviously knows his stuff! Among other things, I brought a bottle of the 2005 Tre Noce. There were several "heavyweight" wines during the evening including a 1999 Brunello di Montalcino, 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape, and a 2000 Barolo. Our chef friend proclaimed the Tre Noce his wine of the night and praised it effusively. It WAS really good! Great combination of black raspberry and pepper with a nice but not overpowering heft to it." From John Moon in Honolulu: "Just thought I would tell you that last nite my friend Harry opened a 2003 Dover Hansen's Vineyard cab and it was just fabulous! Still wonderfully earthy and spicy with a beautiful smoky finish...thank you!"
Tom Hill, known for his stream-of-consciousness tasting notes, is the newest member of the Pepper Rebellion, the secret society of pepper partisans who celebrate and defend pepper and spice in zinfandel. Tom, a self-confessed wine geek, is a computational physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Nevada, doing numerical neutron transport and large scale code development. Tom has been tasting wines seriously since 1971, and has been an early and outspoken proponent of Paso Robles wineries. Other serious passions include competitive sport fencing (foil and epee), biking, cooking. basketball, skiing, backpacking, and mountain climbing. Tom has a grand vision in life of becoming Superman, but has settled for now to just be Clark Kent, a mild-mannered computer jock at LANL!
Why Filter? Filtration makes a wine brighter and clearer by removing excess sediment and haze. Some wineries may decide not to filter their wines because they feel that the unfiltered wines taste better and have superior mouthfeel. There is no single correct answer; winemakers decide for themselves what is right for their product. Some of our red wines are filtered; some are not. Our wine labels and our website wine profiles indicate when a wine is unfiltered and unfined.

1932 Ford Roaster Part 1 - We're Building a Deuce!Written by Drew Hardin on February 3, 2004 The HOT ROD Roaster, Part One: TCI Chassis
We're gonna roast meats and get skin cancer. We're gonna be simple, be fast, drive it everywhere laughing like fools, and we're going to look too good doing it. It's the core character of a hot rod applied to what many consider the only true hot rod: a '32 Ford roadster. Meet the HOT ROD Roaster.
There'll be nothing technically revolutionary about it except perhaps the revelation that a guy well south of retirement can enjoy a street rod, and that there never has to be a trailer under it, a lawn chair in the trunk, or a crybaby doll within a hundred yards. We'll get lots of letters enlightening us that it ain't real 'cause it won't be steel, but face it: gennie Henry doesn't come around much any more. Fact is, there won't be a single chunk of real Ford hangin' off this thing. Even the Currie 9-inch rearend is a repop. And as odious as a mail-order rod may seem to the purists, we'll keep it bona fide with nary a shred of electronics, a manual trans, a Rat motor just because it's not a small-block Chevy, a traditional vibe (with gross avoidance of "era-correct"), and the proper attitude throughout.
Despite the availability of every whatsit and widget to build a brand-new reproduction '32 Ford, they still aren't kit cars. There are many choices along the way, and we'll explain our decisions over the next several months as we build the chassis, body, interior, and drivetrain.
It all began at Total Cost Involved Engineering (TCI), probably the largest maker of custom street-rod frames and components. TCI has been in the chassis-building business for more than 25 years, and the craftsmen there can make anything from stock-looking Model A rails to a Pro Street fat-fender frame.
Because TCI builds frames to order, it can accommodate any number of engine/tranny combinations and suspension systems. In our case, the choice of drivetrain had a significant impact on the frame's construction, but TCI had the mock-up parts on the shelf and the knowledge from prior projects to steer us the right way. All we knew was that we wanted an I-beam front axle, hairpins instead of a four-link up front, a Hanlon Motorsports Tremec five-speed, and a big-block Chevy. TCI advised us to order our Deuce Customs USA body with a 1-inch firewall setback to clear the engine, and recommended a drag-race four-link as opposed to a wimpier standard street-rod four-link to harness the power. There's more, but rather than tell you about it, let's show you.
Things to Consider
There are so many components to consider when planning a frame buildup that TCI has developed a "chassis checklist"--a series of questions customers answer so TCI can build to suit. When you call TCI to place an order, the sales person will ask you about:
Body Style: Is it a coupe or a roadster, and more important, will it be fendered or fenderless?
Model Year: TCI offers chassis for '28 through '50s models
Body Manufacturer: Some aftermarket bodies have slightly different mounting patterns than OE Ford
Body Type: Is it steel or fiberglass?
Body Floor: Some have dropped floors that affect the fit to the frame
Engine/Transmission/Rearend: TCI can advise you about the compatibility of the frame and body with the drivetrain you plan to run. The company will also make sure the suspension is up to the task you have in mind, from daily driving to drag racing.
Front Suspension Type: You can get basic or dressy TCI I-beams with a choice of finishes and four-bars or hairpins, or you can order IFS
Rear Suspension Type: While TCI can do a traditional transverse leaf, the company prefers coilovers (with various types of four-links) or IRS
Dress Package: Do you want the suspension parts chromed, stainless, or painted?
Rear Antiroll Bar: Helps both handling and dragstrip launches
High-Tech Rear Disc Brakes: Usually from Wilwood
Brake Lines: Stainless or conventional?
Air Springs: You can bag it in the front, rear, or both, and can also choose electronic ride control
Other Options: Jag or Corvette rearend, Pro Street frame, one-off custom ideas HR

Instead of using a traditional K-member, this chassis is being built with TCI's X-shaped center crossmember. It's constructed using thinner, 3/4x2-inch tube (instead of the typical 1x2-inch tube), which opens up the crossmember so a 21/2-inch exhaust can be routed through it, rather than under it.When setting up Deuce rails for a dropped-axle front suspension, TCI uses a Model A-style crossmember, as it allows the front of the car to sit an inch lower than it would with a stock '32 unit. The front crossmember will be angled back a little to dial 6 degrees of positive caster into the front wheels. Since we wanted the car to sit extra low, the rails will also be notched on either side of the front crossmember to clear the front transverse leaf spring.Once all the crossmembers are welded, the frame comes off its jig and a mock-up of the powertrain is placed into the frame, and the engine's position is determined by maintaining proper distance between the radiator (mounted to tabs on the front crossmember) and the front of the engine. That distance is determined based on the type of radiator and water pump, in our case a U.S. Radiators copper/brass unit and an Edelbrock short pump.The long Tremec TKO five-speed interfered with the center X-member in two places: The back end of its case went past the braces at the center of the X, and the clutch pedal would have been located right where the top of the X met the left-side framerail. In those areas, parts of the original X-member were cut away and additional bracing was added so that the member retained its integrity while leaving room for the transmission and clutch pedal. Here's how the modifications to the front of the X-member turned out. Once the space was made, the brake and clutch-pedal assembly was mounted in place.In the finished X-member, you can see how the intersecting members were cut and then rebraced to accommodate the Tremec.After the engine location was determined, mounting tabs were welded in. Here you can also see the triangular bracket that will hold the Vega steering box. When all the tabs, brackets, and crossmember modifications were complete, the frame moved from this part of the shop to the assembly room.Brake-line plumbing was also going on while the engine/trans/crossmember clearance issues were being sorted out, and included the installation of our Hurst Roll Control for smoky burnouts. The TCI frame comes entirely preplumbed for brakes.A complete chassis from TCI comes with fully functional front and rear suspensions and rear-axle assemblies. Customers can choose from a number of rearend options ranging from a Currie Enterprises 9-inch (our choice) to Jag and Corvette IRS systems. We opted for 3.00:1 gears, a Currie Torque Sensitive Differential, and 31-spline axles.
TCI offers several different four-link rear-suspension systems but suggested our power required the Pro 4-Link setup, which includes an additional crossmember and built-in driveshaft loop. The four-link bars are stainless steel, there's a track locater bar mounted diagonally between the axle and frame, and the whole thing is suspended by TCI coilover shocks.The rear sway bar TCI developed for this chassis is pretty trick: It's a torsion bar that runs through the polished housing that's bolted behind the pumpkin. Connecting arms run under the crossmember and link the axle to the bar. The sway bar housing bracket also serves as the mount point for the top of the rear coilovers.Though we went with a basic finish for the 9-inch, we went all out on the very visible front suspension components: chromed I-beam axle, chromed monoleaf transverse spring, and chromed shock absorbers. TCI's Elias Guardado built the full-dress package.The front brakes also got the bright treatment--those are polished four-piston calipers clamping the Wilwood rotors.When the front axle assembly was completed, the entire assembly was bolted in place with a centered plate and two U-bolts. A spacer under this plate determines the car's ride height once it's assembled. Note the monoleaf.The crossover steering system assembly began by bolting the Vega steering box to the frame and then attaching the chromed pitman arm to the box. The rest of the steering linkage was bolted together once the front axle was located in the frame, and it includes a Panhard bar to help prevent bumpsteer. This is required with crossover steering and shackles on both ends of the leaf spring. A solid mount on one end of the spring is another old-fashioned option.The shock absorbers were bolted in place, and then braided-steel brake hose was plumbed between the hard lines and the brakes. To match the old-school look of the I-beam axle, we chose to locate the frontend using hairpin-radius rods rather than the more modern front four-bar setup.

My System:
Release 7.2.3_GA_2872.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition.
But for all versions the same problem.
In the admin panel there is under "global configuration -> MTA" the option "add X-Originating-IP to mail". This option is per default on.
If this is on the original IP address of sender will be added as an extra option to the mail header.
I see two problems there:
Privacy. Why should the receiver see the original IP address?
Spam. Many spam filters (Zimbra included) use this option in a wrong way. They say the mail was sent from a private range that is on a anti spam list and mark this mail as spam.
So why is this option per default enabled?
What are the positive effects of this option (I have really no idea in which situation the original IP is useful)?
Is it required to restart the zimbra services if I disable the option?

New Astrodon Full Spectrum DSLR Modification
Started by Hap Griffin , Jan 11 2013 03:30 PM
5 replies to this topic
Posted 11 January 2013 - 03:30 PM
There has been much interest in the "full spectrum" modification of DSLR's recently. In this modification, a clear filter with no UV or IR filtering characteristics replaces the two filters in a stock Canon DSLR, opening up the camera's sensitivity far into the IR and UV ranges. External filters are used to customize the camera's response for the user's application...astronomical, IR or daylight. To that end, I have been working with renowned filter manufacturer Don Goldman at Astrodon to produce a fully anti-reflection coated clear filter of the proper thickness to accurately retain auto-focus without having to re-shim or move the sensor position as with other clear filter alternatives available when replacing both of the stock filters in a Canon DSLR. In-house testing has proven very positive and is moving to the Beta test stage before full production is begun. If you would like to become a Beta tester for this project, please contact me via email. I only have a few filters available at this time so quantities are very limited until we go into full production within a few weeks.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 03:55 PM
Here are some images I took today using an Astrodon full spectrum modified Canon 40D along with an Astronomik OWB (Original White Balance) clip-in filter. The camera was in the fully automatic mode showing that the full spectrum modfified camera can easily be used for normal daylight photography using the fully automatic settings with the OWB filter.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:36 AM
I have posted a new page on my web site that contains the details of the new Astrodon Full Spectrum modification and the new AD40Clear filter.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 02:36 PM
Any plans for the 5D Mark II, for the full spectrum modification.
Any plans for the 5D Mark II, for the full spectrum modification.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 04:34 PM
Possibly, after we see how much interest there is in the modification for the other models. I plan to expand into the non-astro IR market and expect that there will be s significant demand for full-spectrum full-sized sensor cameras from those folks.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 07:18 PM
Count me in, I use my 5D Mark II, un-altered, for astrophotography. But, would love to go full spectrum.
