BIRMINGHAM, England – After being bumped from a championship fight with Georges St-Pierre in favor of Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit (27-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) has his new target.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the promotion that Condit and Josh Koscheck (16-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet at UFC 143 in February.
UFC president Dana White revealed the likelihood of the potential booking at Saturday night's UFC 138 post-event press conference in Birmingham, England.
"Right now, Carlos Condit wants to fight," White said. "He wants to fight on the same card as GSP and Diaz, so we'll see what happens. Koscheck has been offered.
"It could be with Koscheck. Condit wanted that fight."
According to several sources MMAjunkie.com spoke with on Saturday evening, Condit now has it.
UFC brass have yet to officially announce UFC 143, but the event is expected to take place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. St-Pierre defends his welterweight title against Diaz in the main event.
Condit was expected to face St-Pierre at UFC 143 before a post-UFC 137 outburst led the champ to request Diaz, instead. White also revealed that night that Condit is next line should he prove victorious in his next fight, which now appears to be against Koscheck.
Koscheck fought most recently at September's UFC 135 event, where he downed UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes via first-round knockout. The win was Koscheck's first fight since suffering a broken orbital bone in a UFC 124 loss to St-Pierre.
For more on UFC 143, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Gold-Blue viewing guide, Grantham, more spring football
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The views from here:
Indeed, that will be interesting. Does the younger, stronger Ford Childress have a grasp of the offense a la Paul Millard, the more experienced of the QB contenders? Are the whispers of Childress' recklessness with the ball founded or unfounded?
Yet there are a few other areas to watch as the Mountaineers retool for Year Two in the Big 12.
Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson has said "it's a good time to be a running back at West Virginia." The reason: young quarterbacks.
My question: Is it a wonderful time to be a running back at WVU named Dreamius Smith?
By all accounts, Smith, the junior college transfer from Butler Community College, hit Morgantown ready to rock. And word is, rock he has. If that's the case, it could be a huge lift for head coach Dana Holgorsen. Smith, 5-foot-11, 217 pounds, could do the heavy lifting. Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison could provide nice changeups, along with sprinkles of Cody Clay and freshman Wendell Smallwood.
It will be interesting to watch Clay, the pride of Alum Creek and George Washington High, who has earned raves as an H-back this spring.
Many will naturally check out the receivers. Junior college transfer Kevin White opened many eyes at the beginning of camp. The word is he began spring drills on fire before fading a bit of late. Yet he's a big, strong kid with sure hands. Freshman Daikiel Shorts should be fun to watch.
But the Mountaineers have other receivers hitting Morgantown for fall camp that could make splashes. Recruiting gem Shelton Gibson and highly touted Mario Alford and Ronald Carswell could all make huge impacts.
So, from this perspective anyway, what will prove more interesting is the shape of the rebuilt offensive line. What is there around left tackle Quinton Spain? Is Pat Eger, if healthy enough to play, a viable candidate to replace Joe Madsen at center, or will the coaches be praying junior college transfer Stone Underwood is ready to go?
Defensively, of course, WVU's coaches and fans are simply hoping for improvement of any sort. And, truth be told, I expect more than a handful of newcomers to bust into the two-deep depth chart on that side of the ball in the fall.
I'd be shocked if 6-6 d'Vante Henry, who was offered by Oklahoma and Texas A&M, among others, doesn't challenge or take over at the spur. At the buck, where you'll see Dozie Ezemma, freshman Brandon Golson will surely challenge if he gets his legal and academic issues in order. Golson was offered by Arizona, Kansas State, A&M and South Carolina, among others.
Along the defensive front, junior college transfer Dontrell Hyman, offered by LSU and Mississippi State, will make a mark at end. Freshman Al-Rasheed Benton should challenge Nick Kwiatkoski and Jared Barber at weak-side linebacker.
In the backfield, one has to look for the returns of Travis Bell and Avery Williams from the doghouse and injury, respectively.
It will be interesting to watch redshirt freshman kicker Josh Lambert on Saturday. (Mike Molinari will be punting, but junior college punter Nick O'Toole has been signed and will hit camp in the fall.)
In sum, the quarterbacks will be in the spotlight. But also check out the running backs (specifically Smith), the offensive line (specifically, if healthy, Eger) and the kicker.
It's not that Grantham doesn't have other options. He does, including offers from Clemson and Marshall, among others. He should feel free to go exactly where he wishes.
But every single indicator pointed to Grantham committing to WVU. He has a terrific relationship with WVU assistant Ronnie Everhart. He visited Morgantown and was offered a scholarship by head coach Bob Huggins. He's indicated the Mountaineers have always been his favorite team. Then he participated in last Saturday's Scott Brown Invitational and played on the same team as the other four Mountaineer signees.
Yet, as of Tuesday afternoon, we've heard nothing but crickets on that front. Quiet as night.
Grantham, a 6-foot-7 forward, lifted the 26-2 Bulldogs to the most recent Class AAA championship.
Those in the Kanawha Valley seeking a reason to get outside might want to check out the local colleges' spring games.
Pat Kirkland and the University of Charleston will unveil the latest version of the Golden Eagles team at 7 p.m. Thursday at UC Stadium at Laidley Field.
New West Virginia State University coach Jon Anderson will showcase his Yellow Jackets at 3 p.m. on April 27 at Lakin Field in Institute.
Just thought you should know.

I have successfully ported IRONMAIDEN 8.0.4 5663 to 64bit LFS (Linux From Scratch).
What I want to do now is migrate my existing 8.0.0.GA.5434.UBUNTU10.64 UBUNTU10_64 FOSS installation to my spanking new 8.0.4_GA_5663.LFS_64_20130311115900 LFS_64 FOSS installation.
Is there any tool to do the migration, other than the zextras suite, which at this point still supports only up to and including 8.0.2.
If this is the best tool, then my strategy could be to build 8.0.2, migrate, then do in-place upgrade to 8.0.4. In that case I'll need some help with the perforce command to pull 8.0.2. This is the command I used:
./p4 -u public -P public1234 -c public-view sync -f //depot/zcs/IRONMAIDEN/...
This pulls 8.0.4. How do I modify it to pull 8.0.2?

This is incredible work. Love the cohesiveness - everything fits so well together. I especially like how the country borders look like someone used a highlighter (very well, I might add - I'd never have such a steady hand ^.^) The icons are perfect, and the geographic features are seamless. Fantastic work; and those coats-of-arms (however your pluralize that) are fantastically well done. Love to see more of this work!

Again, this is one these maps that automatically get one to think about its story, its people and its cities. Most excellent work!
Thanks, Legiazus. Perhaps I'll come up with a short timeline for this map.
btw, I've started a second map with the Centralia theme, this time a strategic view of the armies, here in the WIP section
As the thumbnail preview doesn't work in the first post, I placed an image of the map there.
I think that maybe the boundaries might need to be a little more distinct to use this as a game board.
Maybe. But I didn't want too strong colors, as this would not really fit with the general old look.

I feel like I've spent a lot of time this year griping about everything going wrong, mostly with the weather. I'm a little late for Thanksgiving, but I thought a list of "good things" would be a great way to end the season.
1. I have a great crew of dandelion pickers. Just imagine how many more would have gone to seed if the "flowers" on my countertop had been left in the lawn.
2. The sparrows who were trying to nest in my dryer vent were ousted in time to set up housekeeping in a poplar.
3. I planted a dwarf Alberta spruce, a golden flowering current, a Medora juniper, a bunch of ninebarks, some baptista, and a European Mountain ash, all last fall in my big overhaul. They had a really good start, as well as the yarrow, blue flax, yellow flax, moss phlox, and mugo pine I put in this spring. They've had nice damp soil all year to get established and I haven't had to worry about anybody getting scorched or dried out. And we got a crash course on how the new flower beds drain, so we got that sorted out before it got planted right up.
4. The weeds pulled out really easy out of the damp soil. Of course, they also grew really well…
5. Along with #3 and #4, and despite my complaining, I hardly had to haul hoses at all this year. One huge chore less. Who can complain about that?
6. The tomato plants that almost bit it in an early wind storm thrived once I moved them into my enclosed porch. I've used it as a "greenhouse" to start stuff in the spring, but I've never kept anything in there the whole season. The little sun we got this year was multiplied by the glass and we got quite a few tomatoes when I was expecting none. (Had to move them outside on good days for pollinators to do their business.)
7. I've never seen hens and chicks bloom before.
8. I forgot to plant marigolds around my broccoli and kale. I always plant marigolds! Guess what? Major bug infestation. Why is this a blessing? I now know that marigolds really do help deter pests (make sure they're the smelly kind though!). It also led me to learn of Btk, a safe bacterium I can try next year to save myself some grief on the cabbage worm front.
9. Ralph and Brenda.
10. Berries.
11. I finally went to Nikka Yuko.
12. I started some yellow flax from seed I bought from the Bedrock Seed Bank. It is the first time I have messed around with anything requiring "moist stratification" (or anything more than your basic sprinkle and cover) and it lived. And is quite happy.
13. We just picked the last of the lettuce to have with supper last night. November 5. Those of you reading in Victoria are probably just blinking at the screen, unimpressed, but you prarie people know what I mean.
14. Our tacky, broken down shed got a new door, a paint job, and improved shelves. Just waiting for a latch, and the kids to quit dumping all their toys and tools right in the doorway.
15. We only lost one major limb off our twenty-odd poplars in this year's spring storms. Evidence that arborists are worth their bucket trucks in gold. It did come down on the roof of the house though, but that's also a blessing because Chris is now convinced that we really should be looking at gradually replacing the poplars with some younger, different trees.
16. These last several weeks have been dry and warm. The farmers actually got their hay off, and I got a bonus deadline extension on all my fall tasks.
17. The steps Jenni built me got through their first year in decent shape. I only had to fine tune two stones (by planting thyme and echeveria in the cracks around it–the root systems stabilize the stones, I 've been told. So far so good.) As for the rest of the mess around them… there's always spring.
18. My eight year old casually named about ten of the plants growing in our yard the other day. And I'm not talking "beans", "carrots", and "potatoes", either. It's rubbing off!
19. While the giant pumpkin never got to Cinderella's carriage size, we actually got corn this year! Not bushels, but edible corn, nonetheless! And we were not buried in zucchini!
20. My Rudebeckia is no longer a John Doe.
Final blessing of the year: the chance to share all of my adventures with you.

The pylorus is the opening between the stomach and the intestines. A pyloroplasty is a surgery to make the pylorus opening wider.
The pylorus opens and closes to allow food to pass to the intestines. Certain conditions can make this area thicker. This change can make it difficult for food to pass. The condition is called
pyloric stenosis. It can cause severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and
Pyloroplasty is done to widen the opening. It can treat this condition.
Complications are rare. However, no procedure is completely free of risk. Your child's doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Make sure your child does not eat or drink anything before the surgery. Follow the specific directions given by your doctor.
General anesthesia
will be used. Your child will be in a deep sleep.
The anesthesia will be given. Once your child is asleep, an incision will be made in the abdomen. A cut will be made in the muscle of the pylorus. The pylorus will then be sewn back together in a wider shape.
The abdominal muscles will be sewn back together. The skin will be closed with stitches or staples.
After the surgery, your child will be monitored for about 1-2 hours.
The surgery will take about 1-2 hours.
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. After the surgery, your child will feel pain. Medication will be given to help manage the pain.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. The doctor may choose to keep your child longer if there are complications.
A normal diet will be gradually introduced during the hospital stay.
Before your child goes home, a nurse will teach you how to take
care of her surgical incision
Ask your doctor about when it is safe for your child to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
Be sure to follow the doctor's
After your child leaves the hospital, contact the doctor if any of the following occurs:

16-Inch Disc Brake Kit Install for 1963-1987 Chevy C10's - Disc ProportionedWritten by on March 1, 2010 gStreet 16-inch Brakes
Loyal Custom Classic Trucks readers might recollect in the January 2010 issue I promised in my resignation editorial that I'd continue on as a contributing editor with at least one story in each edition. The following tech feature on installing Chris Alston's Chassisworks new gStreet 16-inch disc brake kit for '63-87 C10 Chevrolets is the first in a series of stories where I'm able to focus entirely on producing an in-depth story without worrying about the administrative duties that come with editing a magazine - that's Ryan's new job.
Speaking of my editorial column, it was in March 2009's Zero Clearance where I announced the debut of the Super Duper Cheyenne and included a concept illustration done by Jon Bell. Well it's been exactly a year and everything is finally coming together. The bench racing Chris Alston and I did during the last couple of years regarding the build of an outrageous G-machine C10 series of Chevrolet for both street and competition has finally become a reality. The direct-fit front brake kit seen here is the very first one made, but there's been two more custom orders sold since. Although the Alston/Wilwood gStreet 16 is a "high zoot" item intended for only the most fanatical of Chevy guys with some bucks to spend, the following story contains many basic tips that apply to any disc brake install. Instead of the usual story where space limitations dictate not every step is illustrated we have focused on producing a thorough guide for your future reference.
Not in the next issue, but most likely the May issue I'll return with an update on the Super Duper Cheyenne project. There's a whole series of tech features to be published in the future. In May we'll finish up the truck's rolling chassis and then move onto bodywork and paint including how to do a mild top chop on a '73-87 C10 roof. By the time it's all said and done thanks to LMC Truck, Dakota Digital, Gearstar Performance Transmissions, and the crew at Sonoma County Street Rodz in Petaluma, California, just to mention a few, the Super Duper Cheyenne will be ready to chew up some hot muscle cars and spit 'em out.

The first step was to set the KP Components 21/2-inch drop spindle onto the lower ball joint and screw the castle nut on by hand, and then torque it to factory specs. If after torqueing, the cotter pin will not align with the cross-hole in the ball joint, always loosen the castle nut to align instead of tightening further.There are two schools of thought on how to affix a cotter pin. One says to fold the ends over as shown, or to fold the ends over vertically trapping the bottom end in the slot on the castle nut and top end bent over the top of the ball joint stud.Next, we lowered the upper control arm down onto the upper ball joint stud and secured it with a castle nut and cotter pin.Notice how clean the KP Components bag plate mounts flush over the coil spring pocket. Additional features include KP fully polished billet stainless steel A-arm clamps and damping by VariShock fully adjustable shock absorbers.This aerial view reveals the extra heavy-duty KP Components top shock absorber mount that eliminates the stock C10 shock mount famous for tearing out of the frame, and repositions the shocks at a better angle.The 16-inch Wilwood brake rotors are directional; indicated by an arrow facing the direction of travel. These brakes require at least a 20-inch wheel. On any brake application inspect to verify that you have at least a 1/4-inch wheel clearance from any brake component.We set the hat onto the brake rotor ready to accept the 12 5/16-18x11/4-inch 12-point coarse thread bolts......then placed the aircraft SAE washer on the 12-point bolt and inserted it through the rotor securing it with the flanged steel locknut on the backside of the rotor.
The Alston's Chassisworks billet aluminum hubs come pre-drilled for 43/4- and 5-inch bolt circles. We selected the 5x5-inch pattern and chased the threads with a 1/2-inch-20 tap. Compressed air was used to blow any remaining aluminum debris from the threads.To mount the brake rotor and hat with the billet aluminum hub we set it over the backside identified with the larger bearing race snout and lined up the boltholes.A drop of red, high-strength Loctite 277 was added 1/2-inch from the shoulder of the wheel studs to lock them in place. Always check to verify the wheel studs are long enough to be used with thick-based wheels.The billet aluminum hubs come with the outer bearing races installed. High-temp disc brake grease was used to pack the Timken-style tapered wheel bearings. Wheel bearings can be packed by hand working the grease in with your fingers, or using a tool specially designed to pack wheel bearings.After the wheel bearings were installed it was time to install the hub grease seal. Special attention should be paid to not touch the lip of the seal with one's fingers or anything that might damage the seal.To protect the face of the hub we placed it face down on wood and then carefully tapped the seal in with a seal driver. A large socket matching or slightly greater than the outer diameter of the seal can be used in place of the correct tool.The hub and rotor assembly is now ready to install on the spindle. A slight trace of high-temp wheel bearing grease was rubbed on the spindle prior to installing it.
The cap screws used to attach the mounting plate to the spindle were inserted from outside of the mounting plate.The cap screws were secured by placing hardened aircraft SAE washers and then 1/2-13 coarse thread locknuts on the spindle side. The locknuts were then torqued to 55 ft-lb.Bearing in mind the rotors are directional we slipped them over the spindle and followed with the outer wheel bearing.Then the thrust washer was aligned with the notch in the spindle and slipped on followed with the castle nut.To fully seat the wheel bearings we torqued the castle nut to 12 ft-lb while turning the rotor assembly by hand and then backing the castle nut off. The wheel bearing thrust can be adjusted by setting the castle nut to 11 ft-lb of torque, and then checked to ensure there is 0.001 to 0.005 inch of endplay.After the wheel bearings were properly adjusted we inserted the cotter pin. Never tighten the castle nut when aligning the cotter pin with the hole in the spindle; only loosen it. Fold the cotter pin ends in the same manner used for the ball joints.Most wheel bearing dust caps are pressed (or tapped) on the hub. The Alston's Chassisworks dust cap is a super clean arrangement that threads on. Alston's Chassisworks advises to apply a small amount of anti-seize to the threads and then screw it on hand tight. They only need to be hand tightened because there is an o-ring inside that prevents loosening after installation.
To prepare the Wilwood six-piston caliper for mounting we had to remove the caliper pad retainer bolts and the anti-rattle clip.The next step was to place the caliper onto the aluminum mounting bracket with the bleeders toward the top (note there is a left and right side caliper) and fasten the caliper to the bracket. The bolt holes were aligned and the Allen head cap screws were torqued to 40 ft-lb.If this won't lock 'em up nothing will -Here's the whole enchilada ready to be plumbed into the rear brakes and master cylinder.

Speaking out
Military | Ask retired chaplains, and they'll tell you that ending the military's ban on open homosexuals would have a devastating effect not only on the military but on a vital ministry
The call for a chaplain went out at the Bethesda Naval Hospital sometime after three in the morning. So naval officer Mark Jumper entered the room of the dying. He saw a sailor, nearly wasted away. Lying on his stomach, the sailor tried any position to alleviate his final pain.
A victim of AIDS, the sailor, abandoned by his family for his gay lifestyle, was dying alone. Until he asked for the chaplain.
When the military first started testing for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Jumper told himself that he would provide the love and care of a simple touch to the sick. Jumper placed his hands on the sailor's arms and did the only other thing he knew felt right-he prayed.
"His focus was on finding God at that moment. . . . So I am grateful I was there," Jumper, now retired after almost 25 years as a military chaplain, told me recently.
The sailor died later that night.
Jumper tells that story to remind people that a chaplain's job is to minister to whoever comes his way. But he also believes that such a ministry should include sticking to biblical truths.
Today Jumper and other retired chaplains are worried that Congress and top military brass may soon handcuff these uniformed pastors, forcing them to choose between serving two masters-God or their commanders in a military that condones a lifestyle in opposition to biblical teachings.
The reason: The congressional Democratic majority is rapidly moving forward with President Obama's campaign promise to allow gays to serve openly in the military.
"For the first time in American history, virtues that are taught by chaplains will go directly against the moral message of the military," said Richard Young, a retired Army colonel who spent 25 years as a chaplain. "This will really muzzle how chaplains will be able to minister without facing charges of discrimination."
Some current and future chaplains may choose to shun the military for other places of ministry in a mass exodus that could devastate the place of religion in the nation's armed forces.
In 1993 Congress responded to then President Bill Clinton's efforts to end the ban on homosexuals serving in the military by holding 12 legislative hearings. They eventually passed, with a bipartisan and veto-proof majority, a law codifying the long-standing military policy that gays are not eligible for military service.
Clinton answered by proposing the policy, popularly called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," that homosexuals could serve as long as they did not reveal their sexual preferences. This has remained the policy since. Meanwhile, the federal courts have upheld the law, stating that homosexuality is incompatible with the military.
But this year has seen rapid changes. In February, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified before Congress that ending the policy is "the right thing to do." Just three years earlier, Gen. Peter Pace, Mullen's predecessor as chairman, had said, "We should not condone immoral acts."
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, in March, set a Dec. 1 deadline for a Pentagon review on how a repeal would impact the military. But Congress decided it couldn't wait that long. One day after Gates set the review, Democrats introduced legislation to overturn the ban.
That bill has passed the House and the Senate Armed Services Committee. All that remains is a full Senate vote. "This is the most serious legal issue facing America since Roe v. Wade," said Doug Lee, a retired brigadier general chaplain.
Consequences for the military and, subsequently the nation's security, could be far-reaching. But this may be a point largely unknown to lawmakers in a Congress that features fewer and fewer politicians with military experience.
Where to house open gays and lesbians is just one of the many thorny issues that the military must untangle if "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" dies. "Living on a Navy ship is not like living on a cruise ship," said retired Cmdr. Wayne Johnson, who spent 16 years in the Navy.
Johnson wonders if potential recruits, or their parents, who morally object to the gay lifestyle would want to serve if it meant showering and sleeping in barracks with those who find their own gender sexually attractive-and have the legal right to say so.
"It already is a pressure cooker, and now you are going to throw in some nitroglycerin to see what happens," Johnson said. "I think people will vote with their feet."
Chaplains are equally worried that the change will force theologically conservative pastors to think twice before joining, potentially leaving this important mission field to pastors from liberal denominations. Chaplains expect to find their ability to preach and counsel severely muzzled, particularly when it comes to teaching from books of the Bible like Romans, which speak against homosexuality.
"What if a homosexual couple comes to the chaplain and wants to be married?" Young asked.
Marriage counseling is a bedrock duty for chaplains, especially with the current strain on unions caused by ongoing deployments. Chaplains head the military's "Strong Bonds" marriage program. Young predicts gay couples will start to come to these sessions, putting many chaplains in difficult positions.
Would the military order the chaplains to work to improve such a union? Or would the military replace them with counselors who condone homosexuality, risking the rejection of such programs by conservative military families?
Currently, conservative evangelicals form the core of the chaplaincy. But these chaplains must also answer to endorsing denominations that likely would not support chaplains in a military that condones homosexuality.
"The conservative, Bible-believing chaplain is going to be marginalized," Young says. "We want to minister to everybody, but we want to do it according to the truth of Scripture, not political correctness."
More than 40 retired chaplains have signed a letter to President Obama. In it they warn that a repeal would turn "Christians-both chaplains and servicemen-into second-class soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines." Jewish and Catholic groups have also spoken out against repeal.
These are not the only warnings the administration has ignored. More than 1,000 retired military officers from all service branches wrote that the change would "break the all-volunteer force."
In an unprecedented break from Mullen, all four heads of the service branches wrote Congress urging lawmakers to hold off on any votes until after the military completes its review.
Gen. George Casey, the Army's chief of staff, wrote that repealing the rule before the Dec. 1 review "will be seen by men and women of the Army as a reversal of our commitment to hear their views."
And it is not just top officers: For four years in a row, a Military Times poll of active duty troops found that a majority opposes the repeal. Ten percent of respondents say they would not re-enlist and an additional 14 percent say they would consider ending their military careers. If 10 percent did drop out, that would mean a loss of more than 228,000 troops.
"I suspect many service members, their families, veterans, and citizens are wondering what to do to stop this ill-advised repeal of a policy that has achieved balance between a citizen's desire to serve and acceptable conduct," wrote Lt. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, the top commander in the Pacific, in a letter to the military's Stars and Stripes publication. Mullen, the Joint Chiefs chairman, chastised Mixon for speaking outside the chain of command.
Why have Democrats ignored these pleas and voted anyway before the military has had its say? They are fearful that waiting past the November election means they may not have enough votes to move forward, says Alliance Defense Fund lawyer Daniel Blomberg.
He adds that the homosexual lobby has made ending the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy a top goal because it understands that the military as an institution exerts an outsized influence on molding American life.
"This is not a narrow fight just about the military," he told me. "This is just step one in achieving the goal of normalizing homosexuality in mainstream America."
Matt Coles, director of the ACLU's Center for Equality, in a recent essay argued that the military could be the engine for even greater changes. "Getting rid of DADT won't be enough," Coles wrote. "There's another little law called the Defense of Marriage Act that will have to go as well."
At a June 22 event at the White House honoring lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride month, Obama told activists "we've got a lot of hard work we've still got to do."
In this push, there is one question retired Brig. Gen. James Hutchens says few lawmakers are asking: How will protecting homosexuality enhance the military and help it protect the nation? Hutchens, who testified before Congress on this issue in 1993, says that should be the key to all changes to the military.
He says the social experiment will prove to be an enormous challenge to implement and will create internal conflicts that will hurt morale.
The first chaplain to be wounded in combat during the Vietnam War, Hutchens knows about the heart of a soldier. Hutchens, then a 31-year-old captain, joined a dawn patrol in the jungles north of Saigon in early November 1965. He knew that to have a ministry he had to go with the men.
The company-sized unit marched right into a regiment-sized ambush. The unit's commander ordered the patrol to back into a defensive perimeter. But not before its point man got hit.
Wounding but not killing one soldier to lure others to re-enter the line of fire was a favorite tactic of enemy snipers. Hutchens joined four other soldiers in answering the wounded man's cries for help. Every one of the rescuers quickly fell with their own bullet wounds. One died.
Hutchens dragged himself back to the unit, which endured a day and night of repeated enemy charges before a helicopter rescue the following morning. More than 100 were left wounded but 44 didn't survive the ambush.
Hutchens said he learned something that day: the importance of chaplains in the military. "Men in situations like that are asking important questions. They are telling themselves, 'I can die out here.' They are ready to do spiritual business."
That is why, after less than two months of recovery, Hutchens went back out on another mission. "I hobbled along but I went."
He hopes evangelical chaplains will continue to be there.

Campaign for repeal
The White House and Congress have spent the year aggressively pursuing efforts to repeal the 17-year-old policy that has been upheld in federal courts five times:
Jan. 27: "This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are," President Obama said at his first State of the Union Address.
Feb. 2: "We have received our orders from the commander in chief and are moving out accordingly," said Defense Secretary Robert Gates, announcing a year-long Pentagon review (due Dec. 1) of how repeal would affect the military's readiness, cohesion, and effectiveness.
March 3: Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., introduces legislation, the first in nearly two decades, to overturn the ban.
March 25: Gates announces that the Pentagon would relax enforcement of the DADT rules, making it more difficult to discharge open homosexuals in the military, on the assumption that Congress will overturn the ban. The Pentagon won't follow anonymous complaints, requiring testimonies under oaths, while allowing only senior officers to begin discharge proceedings.
May 27: The House votes 234 to 194 to repeal the policy. Democratic leaders take the vote directly to the floor, bypassing the committee process, because Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, opposes repeal.
May 27: The Senate Armed Services Committee also votes, 16 to 12, to change the policy. Joining 11 Republicans, Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, a former Marine and secretary of the Navy, is the lone Democrat to vote against the repeal measure: "I believe we had a process in place and to pre-empt it in some ways showed a disrespect for the people in the military," Webb said.
June: A recently wed gay soldier applies for on-base married housing benefits with his male partner at Fort Drum, N.Y., prompting an investigation.

|Reading with children encouraged by Roth
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Reading with children, starting at a very young age, is encouraged by Nora Roth as she works on her Focus on Children FCCLA project.
In the activity portion of her project, Roth has been visiting daycare homes in the community, delivering together-time tubs. She reads and organizes crafts with the children, and takes books for them as well.
Roth notes reading is something everyone uses in everyday life, and it's an important skill to obtain.
Because it is so important, Roth promotes it should be started at a very young age.
"My theory is to start very young," said the 17-year-old FCCLA member. "Introducing children to reading at a young age will help them grow up loving books and reading, and to enjoy them throughout their lives."
Since the early years of a child's life involve the highest rates of learning, this makes early childhood a great time to introduce them to reading.
Roth reported each day in the United States people spend an estimated four hours watching TV, three hours listening to the radio and 19 minutes reading magazines.
Reading to children at a young age will prepare them for their future schooling, and Roth encourages getting a head start and jumping in early to read to children as early and often as possible.

Installing Charger Butt Stripes - A Sticky SituationWritten by on December 1, 2004 Installing Butt Stripes On A '69 Charger
When it comes to distinguishing factors on our Mopars, what catches your eye first? If it's a '70s production car, the H.I.P. (High Impact Colors) are definitely high on the list. Maybe you think the various hood treatments are the most eye-catching: Six Pack Scoops, Air Grabbers, Shakers, and Ramcharger air induction systems, or simply painting the hood black to contrast the color of the car? Mopar definitely cornered the market when it came to hood treatments.
One thing that no other car manufacturer had the audacity to do was to wrap the rear end of a car with a wide noticeable stripe. The stripe was a status symbol. It let everyone know that you were a member of an elite group. In the Dodge camp, you were known as a Scat Packer. We just happened to have a '69 Charger sitting around that needed an R/T stripe placed upon its rear flank. The question arose, how do you go about placing the stripe in the proper location? Well, we figured that standing back, eyeing it up, and hoping for the best was not a good approach. So we put some thought into it, and then decided we would give you guys some insight into how we did it.
Some of the supplies you'll need (besides the stripe kit) are masking tape, a straight edge, a red crayon pencil, a bucket of water, dish soap, sponge, and a razor blade. You need to begin by first locating the center of the stripe location. To find this, find the center of the marker light opening, and use that as the center of the stripe. Now measure out the width of the stripe using that centerline. Some stripes are just the stripe with no distinguishing marks. In this application, the car is a Charger R/T, and the stripe has the R/T marking on it. Since our stripe incorporates the R/T logo, we must be sure to place the logo in the proper location on the quarter-panel. The proper location is to center the R/T logo on the center bodyline of the quarter. With your quarter marked out with the red crayon pencil, take a bucket of clean water with just a little bit of dish soap, and wet the quarter-panel where the stripe will be located. Be sure not to add too much soap; you do not want an exorbitant amount of suds in the bucket. Now remove the backing paper from the stripe and place the stripe in the bucket. You need to be careful because now that you have removed the backing paper, the stripe will want to stick to everything. Do not roll the stripe up and then place in the bucket or you'll have a nice rolled stripe that's unusable. Now with the stripe wet, place it on the wet quarter-panel, lining up the centering marks you made earlier. use a new soft-rubber squeegee to smooth out the stripe and remove the water. Be careful not to crease the stripe as you squeegee. When you are satisfied with the squeegee job, remove the protective covering from the stripe. Do not pull straight away from the body when removing the covering. Instead, pull in either a downward or upward direction and go slow, making sure not to pull the stripe loose from the car. Do the same to the other side, then the trunk lid, and you have given your Mopar the impact and badging it deserves.

Mark where the stripe will "fold over" and be at the top of the quarter-panel. To do this, take your straight edge and align it with the edge of the narrow stripe. Next, move the straight edge to a point where it follows as much of the edge of the stripe as possible. Now draw a line following the straight edge that follows the outside edge of the narrow stripe.Do this for the front and rear narrow stripe. Next, do the same thing from the other end of the stripe. Where the two lines intersect should give you the location of the top edge of the quarter-panel. If all measurements are correct, the R/T cut out should fall on the center bodyline.Marking the bodyline will give you the location of the R/T lettering of the stripe, as it centers on the bodyline.Before you start to apply the stripe, attach it to the car with masking tape and use your marks as location points to make sure it lines up properly.If all of your marks are correct, the stripe should line up at the top edge of the quarter-panel, and the R/T cut out should be split by the center bodyline.When you are confident you have it located properly, remove it from the car, take a clean five-gallon bucket with clean water and mix in a small amount of dish soap. Take a clean (Did we emphasize CLEAN enough?) sponge and get the area receiving the sticker good and wet.Remove only the backing paper from your stripe. While holding onto both ends of the stripe, you need to get the entire stripe good and wet. Start at one end of the stripe and feed it through the bucket of water until the entire thing is wet. Be careful not to let the stripe touch the bucket because it could stick and/or ruin the stripe.Place the wet stripe on the wet quarter-panel and line up your marks. With a new plastic squeegee, squeegee the water and air bubbles out from under the stripe. Always start in the center and work your way out to the edges.Next, it's time to remove the paper that covers the stripe. We started at the top edge and worked our way down to the bottom of the quarter-panel. Do not pull the protective paper straight away from the car; this could pull the stripe loose. Instead, pull the protective paper down, keeping it as close to the car as possible. Take your time and make sure to squeegee any remaining air bubbles out as you go.
After you have the stripe completely applied, take a sharp razor and cut out the side marker light. Leave about 1/16-inch of stripe protrude into the marker light opening. The opening should be centered in the large portion of the stripe. You will also need to trim the edge of the stripe that protrudes into the trunk area. Use a razor and straight edge to do this.<br />With the stripe applied, make sure there are no air bubbles under it. If there are, parking the car in the sun may help. If not, puncture the air bubble with a very small needle and work the bubble flat. After that, you can install the marker light.After you have done the other side of the car the same way, it's time for the trunk lid portion. Begin by laying the stripe out on the trunk lid and center it accordingly. measuring the side stripes and placing them will give you the location for the trunk lid stripe. Align the trunk stripe to the side stripes, and mark the edge of the trunk lid on the stripe using the crayon pencil. Now, wet the trunk lid and the stripe and place on the trunk lid. Squeegee the stripe using the same process as the side stripes.

How to make a plaster cast of a flat slab piece?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 11:12 PM
They all got through the bisque firing just fine. But 3 of the 4 cracked during the raku firing. Not along the incised lines I made, I'm pretty sure it was because our instructor set them upon blocks to be able to pick them up from the kiln during firing, and they must have absorbed the heat unevenly.
Anyway…I want to make them over again, and fire them conventionally. But I don't want to put in all that carving labor.
Studio staff suggested I glue the pieces back together, then make a plaster mold, and push new very moist slabs into the resulting mold. I bought casting plaster already that states on the box it is good for fine detail.
But studio staff were sketchy about how to make the plaster mold exactly. No one had ever actually done it. Especially considering the pieces I am molding are flat. How would I get the originals out again? Apply a film of something, like Vaseline?
Can you offer me any instructions?
Thanks, Lin

I would recommend firing the tiles upright in the raku kiln. Maybe setting them on some unglazed 1/4" coils so they are not on the shelf.
They can easily be picked up by tongs. I have special heat resistant glaves for removing large slabs, but 4 x 6 is not that heavy to lift by tongs.

i'd probably roll out a slab of clay and leave 1-2" around the form, then just make some clay coddle walls 1-2" taller than the tile. Slightly embed your positive in the clay slab to keep plaster from getting underneath and to keep it from floating up when you pour your plaster. Mold soap the form several times - I use PureLube or mold soap from the ceramics supplier. Then cast it. I always mix plaster using the "island" method, but you can weight your plaster and water if you want to get the best results.
worst case scenario is your positive will get stuck and you lose the original, which was already broken in the first place. either way, it will still be a good learning experience since you have no plaster skills yet. keep in mind that your positives have already shrunk once, and that any casts from these will be even smaller (if this matters).
if you don't want to risk casting the originals then you will have to make a new positive or salvage what you can from the originals. for the latter, you'll need a negative (mold) to pull a new positive from. You can press it into clay and make a bisque mold like suggested - but might be hard to keep flat and also likely to pick up least detail since it'll have to be removed before it starts to dry and shrink/crack. You can also get something like the air-dry clay to make the negative. Even better might be something like Magic Sculpt or Apoxie Sculpt, which are 2-part epoxy clays. -- once you have your rigid negative mold, you can then press fresh clay into it for new positives, or use it to produce a good clay version to pull a plaster mold from. Either way will work, just depends on how many you need.
good luck!

Carving detail is not deep; maybe2 mm maximum, with no undercuts. I took pictures but I'm not sure if they showany useful level of detail.

I have a problem deploying zimlets in Zimbra Beta 2. I tried deploying using zimlet deploy but the zimlet functionality doesn't show up when I log back in on Zimbra. I then tried to disable the Zimlet called com_zimbra_phone and also removed it from the default COS. Logging back in, the phone zimlet was not disabled either; even though the zimlet listZimlets command showed that my zimlets were deployed and com_zimbra_phone was both disabled and not in the default COS. I also tried restarting the server, but to no effect.
I searched the forums for a similar problem but came up empty.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Meridian Rotarians heard about the Meridian Children's Chorus on Monday. Its founder, Vivian Hurley, was the guest speaker.
The chorus continues to rehearse for its performance at the international choral festival in England later this summer. Hurley said music should be part of every child's education.
"In our schools, unfortunately, when it comes to cutting on the budget the first thing to go is the arts," said Hurley. "Unfortunately music seems to be the first art that's chosen. Some of the things that the chorus does provide are the opportunity for learning stage presence, the ability to speak and perform in front of people."
Two young musicians performed on instruments Monday. The chorus leaves for Canterbury, England July 29.

1946 Chevy Truck - Chevy SabbaticalWritten by on April 1, 2008 Chuck Browne's '46 Chevy
C. H. Browne bought a new 3/4-ton Chevy truck in the fall of 1946 to celebrate his son's return from World War II and to help out on the farm. The Chevy was soon considered one of the family, as C.H. was hardly without it whether he was working in the fields of salina, kansas, or going to town for supplies. But before they knew it, there was another addition to the family-a grandson named Chuck.
The elder Mr. and Mrs. Browne cared for and raised Chuck on the farm and instilled the formidable boy with manners and a strong work ethic. This meant Chuck spent plenty of seat time in the old Chevy tooling around with grandpa and learning the ropes. Unfortunately for the Brownes, C.H. passed away in 1963 and the '46 was auctioned off with much of the estate. A local by the name of Don Neff bought the Chevy to use on his farm where it stayed for the next 40 years.
Every once in a while, Chuck thought about the '46 and, whenever he was back in kansas, he would pay Mr. Neff a visit and ask if the truck was for sale, only to be disappointed. When Chuck was back for his 35th high school reunion in 2005, he'd just found out that he had a bad tumor in his leg, so he wasn't sure if he was going to be saying "hi" or "bye" to his old classmates. Again, he knocked on the Neff's door, only to be told "no" once more.
To Chuck's surprise, he got a call from the Neffs two days later saying they'd decided he really should have the truck back! Needless to say, he was speechless. Wasting no time, he got a hold of Bright Built Hot rods in salina, kansas, and they got busy updating the chassis and drivetrain while retaining the charm of all the years on the farm, AkA "patina," but this is the real deal, including grandpa's honest to God front fender "stitch repair" from the harvest of 1961.under the stock hood is a steadfast lT-1 and 4l60 trans so Chuck can spend more time worrying about where he's going instead of if he's gonna make it. Bright Built boxed the stock frame and grafted Fatman Fabrication's Mustang II IFs and a four-link into it as well as painting the firewall red when they were done. Chuck left the interior basically the way it was when he first rode in it all those years ago except he had vintage Air's seat heater/cooler installed before having the stock bench recovered in distressed leather.
Chuck is doing well now and drives the '46 almost daily, including many outof- state trips to Goodguys shows around the Midwest. He'd also like to thank his wife, Cindy, for all her continued support. Have fun you two!

Here I was lamenting the possibility of giving up my duet. Quinn is at preschool now and is starting school next year so the Mountain Buggy duet was being used less and less. I was really not looking forward to giving it up, so when I stumbled across a tweet about joey, I literally jumped up and down in excitement. This was it! This was exactly what I needed, especially as a non-driver the extra storage space is essential. I loved the flexibility of being able to put the second seat back on if I am spending a full day out that requires another seat. It really is a win/win!
Mel Harris - AustraliaThe Boy Factory
Living in the picturesque Lake Macquarie region in NSW Australia, Mel is a stay-at-home mum to four very busy boys!
Mel's family is a true Mountain Buggy family, having owned several models from the Mountain Buggy collection: 3 x urban, an urban double, a breeze, a swift, a duo and new model terrain! As one of the first owners of the Mountain Buggy duet and a freerider in tow, Mel shares life's experiences as a true Mountain Buggy champion.
Do you still love the duet?
I'm a member of the Strollers and Prams forum, and this is a question I get a lot from potential buyers wanting to gauge my opinion of the Mountain Buggy duet now I am owned it for 6 months. My answer is; YES! I adore it. It is a sanity saver.
duet at the beach!
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside! What a strange summer we are having here in NSW Australia. The weather has been far from "normal". Hot this year has been 30 degrees Celsius compared to last year's 43, and the days hitting 30 have been few and far between with most days sitting in the early to mid 20's.
duet at the Christmas Carols
It's that time of year again, when the community naturally comes together to celebrate Christmas. Our family spent the evening at the local Christmas Carols. It was a lovely, relaxing evening and we all had so much fun.
Shopping with the duet
It might look rugged, perfect for the outdoors (because it is) but don't let that rugged beauty fool you, the Mountain Buggy duet is just at home in the shops as it is on the trails.
train trip
We are off into the city today for Quinn's speech therapy appointment. It is a 40 minute train trip, but essential for him as he has Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS).
Fathers day 2011
The weather was amazing, so off we headed to the historic grounds of Morisset Hospital campus, known for it's friendly, wild kangaroos. I was a little worried about getting the Mountain Buggy duet in the boot, but I needn't have been concerned it went in like it was made for it.
The duet arrives!
Introducing the very lovely Mel and her family, as they they embark on a Mountain Buggy journey with their latest arrival the Mountain Buggy duet!
Close at hand, we get an insight of the little duet's thoughts as he starts a new life with his new family!
