WASHINGTON (AP) — Tennnnnn-hut, ladies! The next time Uncle Sam comes calling, he's probably going to want you, too.
The Obama administration's recent decision to lift the ban on women in combat has opened the door for a change in the law that currently compels only men between age 18 and 25 to register for a military draft, according to legal experts and military historians.
Never before has the country drafted women into military service, and neither the administration nor Congress is in a hurry to make them register for a future call-up. But, legally, they may have no other choice.
It is constitutional to register only men for a draft, the Supreme Court ruled more than three decades ago, because the reason for registration is to create a pool of potential combat troops should a national emergency demand a rapid increase in the size of the military. Women were excluded from serving in battlefield jobs, so there was no reason to register them for possible conscription into the armed forces, the court held.
Now that front-line infantry, armor, artillery and special operations jobs are open to female volunteers who can meet the physical requirements, it will be difficult for anyone to make a persuasive argument that women should continue to be exempt from registration, said Diane Mazur, a law professor at the University of Florida and a former Air Force officer.
"They're going to have to show that excluding women from the draft actually improves military readiness," Mazur said. "I just don't see how you can make that argument."
Groups that backed the end of the ban on women in combat also support including women in draft registration as a matter of basic citizenship. Women should have the same civic obligations as men, said Greg Jacob, a former Marine Corps officer and policy director for the Service Women's Action Network. "We see registration as another step forward in terms of equality and fairness," Jacob said.
The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., supports draft registration for women, according to his spokeswoman. Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., who heads the House Armed Services Committee, hasn't made up his mind. McKeon said through a spokesman that he's awaiting a Defense Department report due in the coming weeks that will assess the legal impact of lifting the ban women in combat on draft registration.
But if you're worried a draft notice is going to soon be in your mailbox, take a deep breath. There is no looming national crisis that makes a military draft likely.
A draft would be enormously unpopular; a new poll by Quinnipiac University found that American voters firmly oppose a return to conscription. Also, adding women to the mix just doesn't appear to be a high priority for a battle-weary nation nearing the end of more than a decade of war.
The U.S. military has been an all-volunteer force for the past 40 years and women have become an integral part of it. Nearly 15 percent of the 1.4 million troops on active duty are female. More than 280,000 women have served in Iraq, Afghanistan or other countries in support of the wars. There have been 152 women killed in the fighting.
Americans overwhelmingly support allowing female volunteers to serve in ground combat roles by a 75-25 margin, according to the Quinnipiac poll. But the survey of 1,772 registered voters found them conflicted over mandated military service for women.
On the question of re-establishing a military draft, male and female voters said they were opposed, 65-28, according to the poll. If a draft were called, however, men backed the conscription of women as well as men, by 59-36, the poll said. But 48 percent of the women surveyed said they did not want women to be drafted while 45 percent said they should be.
Maj. Mary Jennings Hegar, a California Air National Guard pilot who served three tours in Afghanistan, said excluding women from a draft reinforces a stereotype that they are less capable than men and need to be protected. Not every woman can handle a close combat job, she said, and neither can every man.
But they can contribute in other ways if a crisis demands their service, said Hegar, who received a Purple Heart for wounds she suffered when her Medevac helicopter was shot at during a mission near Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Hegar and three other female service members filed a lawsuit last year challenging the combat ban on the grounds that the policy unfairly blocked them from promotions and other advancements open to men. The suit did not address the question of draft registration for women.
"You can't pick and choose when equality should apply to you," Hegar said. "Making generalized statements like, 'Women are capable of being in combat' or 'Women are incapable of being in combat,' are equally ignorant. People are either competent or they're not competent."
For baby boomers in particular, talk of conscription stirs memories of the social and political upheaval of the late 1960s and early 1970s caused in large part by the unpopularity of the Vietnam war and the perceived unfairness of the draft. Research published in the late 1970s showed that men from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds were more likely to fight in Vietnam than men from middle- and high-income families who could avoid being drafted by going to college or finding a slot in a stateside National Guard unit.
"The American people lost confidence in the draft as a means of raising an army when it ceased to require equal sacrifice from everyone that was eligible to serve," said Bernard Rostker, a former director of the Selective Service System and the author of "I Want You! The Evolution of the All-Volunteer Force."
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., has made several attempts over the past decade to reinstitute the draft on the grounds that a small fraction of U.S. citizens are bearing a disproportionate burden in fighting the nation's wars. But his bills have gone nowhere.
That hasn't stopped him from trying. Just this month, Rangel introduced another bring-back-the-draft bill that also would require women to register.
No one has been conscripted into the U.S. military since 1973 when an apprentice plumber from California named Dwight Elliott Stone became the last draftee to be inducted. Stone, now 63 and living in San Francisco, didn't go happily. "I just wanted to do my two years and get the hell out," Stone said. He ended up serving about 17 months, and never had to go overseas.
The rules have been changed to make a future draft more equitable than it was during the Vietnam era. Being a college student is no longer an out; induction can only be postponed until the end of a semester.
Men who don't register with the Selective Service System, an independent federal agency that prepares for a draft, can be charged with a felony and fined up to $250,000. But the Justice Department hasn't prosecuted anyone for that offense since 1986.
There can be other consequences, though. Failing to register can mean the loss of financial aid for college, being refused employment with the federal government, and denied U.S. citizenship.
The Selective Service System maintains a database of nearly 17 million names of potential male draftees, yet the odds of a draft being called are remote, according to national security experts. Volunteers typically are more motivated, more disciplined and more physically fit than draftees. They're also more willing to re-enlist, which creates a more experienced force.
The Pentagon's top brass didn't push for a draft in 2005 when recruiting efforts slumped and they needed more troops for the expanding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Andrew Bacevich, a professor of international relations and history at Boston University. Instead, it hired contractors by the thousands, called up reservists, and used an arcane rule known as "stop-loss" to extend, involuntarily, by months the tours of active-duty troops, said Bacevich, a retired Army colonel.
With formation of the all-volunteer force under way, President Gerald Ford ended the peacetime draft registration process in 1975. But after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan a few years later, World War III suddenly seemed possible, and President Jimmy Carter ordered a return to registration as a show of resolve. Carter, ever the progressive politician, added a twist. He wanted young women, not just young men, to sign up.
But Congress and certainly the country weren't ready for such a seismic cultural shift, and lawmakers refused to allow the registration of women.
Elaine Eidson, a mother of three sons and a daughter from Haleyville, Ala., spoke for what she described as the country's "silent majority" in testimony she gave in March 1980 to a House subcommittee that quickly shelved Carter's proposal. "This I will not stand for, nor will the American people stand for it," said Eidson, a member of the conservative Eagle Forum, according to the hearing record. "You cannot draft our women."
The Supreme Court's ruling came a year later and validated Congress' rejection of Carter's plan. The case that triggered the decision took a circuitous route to the high court. It was originally filed in federal court in Philadelphia during the waning days of the Vietnam War by a young medical school student named Robert Goldberg. He challenged the constitutionality of the Military Selective Service Act on the grounds that it discriminated against men by excluding women from draft registration. While Goldberg was subject to the draft, his number was never called.
When Ford ended draft registration, Goldberg's case languished. Carter's decision to revive the process gave it new life. A district court ruled in favor of Goldberg, finding that the Selective Service Act unconstitutionally discriminated between men and women.
The federal government appealed and the Supreme Court reversed the lower court. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice William Rehnquist said that Congress "acted well within its constitutional authority to raise and regulate armies and navies when it authorized the registration of men and not women."
Goldberg is now 59 and a doctor living and practicing near San Francisco. He said there is a "delicious irony" in the Pentagon's decision to end the ban on women in combat nearly 40 years after he challenged the idea that women couldn't cope with the rigors of military service.
"As a 20-year-old, I wasn't trying to make history," Goldberg said. "All I was trying to do was to see that the Selective Service System be declared unconstitutional by one means or another. It seemed patently obvious to me that a woman could do a job as well as I could."

Chapter 24
Jesus foretells the doom of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple—Great calamities will precede His Second Coming—He gives the parable of the fig tree.
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to ashew him the buildings of the btemple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, aSee ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one bstone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 ¶ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the asign of thy coming, and of the end of the bworld?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man adeceive you.
5 For many shall come in my aname, saying, I am bChrist; and shall cdeceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of awars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not btroubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For anation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be bfamines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of asorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall akill you: and ye shall be bhated of all nations cfor my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be aoffended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many afalse prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because ainiquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax bcold.
13 But he that shall aendure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this agospel of the bkingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the cend come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the aabomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the bholy place, (whoso readeth, let him cunderstand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judæa aflee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And awoe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great atribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those adays shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; abelieve it not.
24 For there shall arise afalse bChrists, and cfalse prophets, and shall shew great dsigns and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall edeceive the very felect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the asecret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the alightning cometh out of the beast, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be agathered together.
29 ¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those adays shall the bsun be cdarkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the asign of the Son of man in bheaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth cmourn, and they shall see the dSon of man coming in the clouds of heaven with epower and great fglory.
31 And he shall send his aangels with a great sound of a btrumpet, and they shall gather together his celect from the four winds, from one end of dheaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the afig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that ait is near, even at the bdoors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This ageneration shall not pass, till all these bthings be cfulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall apass away, but my bwords shall not cpass away.
36 ¶ But of that aday and bhour knoweth no man, no, not the cangels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of aNoe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the aflood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 ¶ aWatch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be abroken up.
44 Therefore be ye also aready: for in such an bhour cas ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a afaithful and bwise cservant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that aservant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord adelayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Just like asparagus epitomizes Spring in terms of food, for me the pumpkin portrays the perfect Fall vegetable.
Our Farmer's Market looks just as colorful as it did back earlier this year, offering a wonderful variety of delicious fresh vegetables available throughout Fall.
Another great new stall at our Farmer's Market is a cheese stall, offering an interesting variety of cheeses from all over Europe. The cheeses sold here come from organic farmers and believe me this is going to be a stall where I'll be leaving loads of money behind, I already know that!
We really love cheese - even Soeren has developed a wonderful palate for sharp Brie, Camemberts and other such delicacies. There are times when our dinner will consist of two or three different breads with a platter of cheeses and a large bunch of grapes. Each one of us gets a knife and a wooden board and we literally hoard the cheese and fresh bread down, gulping a few juicy grapes for the sweet contrast.
I also enjoy experimenting with cheeses in my cooking. Making a tart or pasta dish with a Gruyère will taste entirely different the next time with, say a Pecorino or an Appenzellar.
This weekend I decided on using a wonderfully aromatic Manchego from Spain, which had aged for about 4 months.
Manchego Cheese
Manchego is probably Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha, this cheese is made only from the whole milk of Manchega sheep. The rich, semi-firm product is aged in natural caves for a minimum of 3 - 6 months. It is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color. It comes in a 10 inch diameter wheel, 5 inches thick with a herringbone design on the rind.
Flavorwise, the Manchego ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged. Manchego is available in three different states of maturity: Fresh (fresco), 3-6 months old (curado), or matured for one year (viejo).
The taste of the Manchego cheese is very distinctive, slightly salty but not too strong. It is creamy with a slight piquancy, and with the characteristic aftertaste of sheep's milk.
I find Manchego a fantastic cheese to simply nibble on as it is, but it is also perfect for gratins and bakes. The piquant flavor adds a kick to the dish. My own dish using fresh vegetables like pumpkin, chanterelle mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini, combined with a nutty polenta, was sensational with the distinctive aroma this cheese offers.
You will find more detailed information about the Manchego cheese, it's heritage and nutrition facts on the official Manchego cheese website.
Printable version here.
1.2 kg mixed vegetables - I used:
Hokkaido pumpkin - peeled and sliced
chanterelle mushrooms - washed and larger ones cut in half
zucchini - sliced
red bell peppers - cut in strips
2-3 garlic cloves - thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 ripe tomatoes - sliced
100 g Manchego cheese - grated
300 ml vegetable stock
300 ml milk
50 g Polenta
1 tablespoon rosemary - finely chopped
2 eggs - lightly beaten
In a large pan heat the olive oil and sauté all the vegetables (except for the tomatoes) individually until slightly browned. It is important to sauté each vegetable type individually as each one requires a different amount of time for them to be cooked. The vegetables should be crunchy and not mushy.
For the polenta bring the milk and the stock to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Mix in the polenta and rosemary, then reduce the heat and simmer for approx. seven minutes on low heat. Remove from heat and allow to coll slightly. Whisk in the grated cheese and eggs to the cooled polenta. Generously salt and pepper.
Heat up the oven to 180 degrees C. Coat an oven-proof dish with some olive oil. Layer the vegetables, tomaotes and polenta in the form, taking care that the polenta covers the vegetables.
Bake the gratin for 35-40 minutes.
Enjoy with fresh garlic bread.

On the right sidebar you will find the section "The Know-Hows of Food", where you can refer back to for to several types of vegetables, fruits, spices and other types of groceries and gourmet food. You will also find several cooking and baking methods under the index "How Tos". So, if you are looking for food facts, selecting or storing tips this is the perfect section for you to refer back to.
Wonderfully aromatic and colorfully fresh. This is a perfect dish for misty, moist, cooler Fall days. Soothing to the core and so healthy. Soeren ravished two platefuls, to my pleasure and Tom who normally says polenta and pumpkin are not his things, was pleasantly surprised that polenta and pumpkin can taste so good.

Dear Chef John,
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. In fact, I've only checked out ONE of your videos and have made the dish over 10 times and will keep going. That is your mayonnaise with stick blender recipe! Because of that my recycle bins are always full of empty tuna cans ;p
Please ignore ridiculous people on YouTube. This recipe works like a charm and is amazingly delicious! - November 25, 2010 at 3:50 PM
So fascinating I just had to try it... but instead of a potatoe I used a banana and instead of a knife I used a grapefruit spoon, and instead of a ball in a box I made a hexagaon inside of a pyramid. Har har har... there's just no substitute for the real deal and that's YOU Chef John.

Commercial Roofing Contractor
These commercial roofing contractors are the ones that are responsible for repairing or installing the roofs of commercial buildings. These can include office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and more. Commercial roofs come in all sizes and shapes and are made from a variety of materials. It can be daunting choosing the best commercial roofing contractor, especially if this is the first time you have had to hire one. Although there is no foolproof way to choose them if you just follow some basic business precautions it can help to make sure that a quality roofing job is done. One important step is to make sure that they are operating legitimately. Some of the things that could help to indicate that the contractor is legitimate can include have the willingness to produce evidence of regional and state licenses, a permanent address of the company that is verifiable, and a warranty program that is fair. If they hesitate at providing certification proof or will not guarantee materials through a warranty, or guarantee professional workmanship may not be legitimate. A professional commercial roofing contractor will be happy to give you a written proposal of the work to be done and cost.
A professional commercial roofing contractor will generally provide a range of choices for the roof but there are some that specialize in a certain type of roofing like shingles or metal roofing. Make sure that you check with the contractor if they specialize or have many range of choices so you can get the desired finish and look of your commercial building that you want. If you would need a specific type of roofing make sure to ask the contractor about their experience in putting on that particular type of roofing. Ask to see examples and pictures of previous jobs that has similar requirements like you have. If it is possible you can call previous customers to see how their roofing experience went with the contractor.
Most will have a website that you can visit so you should look at their customer reviews as these can be very important when deciding which commercial roofing contractor you are going to hire. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if there are registered complaints against them. If you are concerned with environmental issues, look for a green roofing commercial roofing contractor. These are the businesses that specialize in using environmentally safe installation procedures and sustainably sourced materials. Make sure that you ask the contractor exactly what makes them environmentally conscious because saying they are a "green roofing contractor" could just be an advertising gimmick to get new customers.

GH head writer Ron Carlivati took offense to this and some of the negative comments on Towleroad and fired back:
To Andy Towle and the readers of this blog: My name is Ron Carlivati and I am the Head Writer of General Hospital. I am also an openly gay man. I created the character of Felix DuBois, the "lipstick-wielding gay male nurse," and I am frankly appalled by the intolerance and internalized homophobia expressed in this post and in the majority of its comments.He continued commenting later saying the following (spoilerish):
During my career, I have brought no fewer than six gay characters to daytime television: male, female, Black, White, Hispanic...all shapes and sizes. I have written coming out stories, gay bashing stories, gay marriage stories, gay parenting stories and gay love stories. I wrote the first love scene between two gay men that ever aired on daytime TV. I won a GLADD award for these stories. What exactly is it about this character that is causing such righteous indignation? The fact that he carries a tube of lipstick in his scrubs? SPOILER ALERT: Felix sells cosmetics to put himself through nursing school. This will be revealed on Monday's show. Not because I think gay men love lipstick, and certainly not to "establish" himself as gay. But even if that were the reason, so what? Does this make him too queeny? Not straight-acting enough? Is that the only type of gay character allowed on TV now? As far as I'm concerned, to be offended by this character is what is offensive. And just FYI, the majority of women (our core audience) I have heard from thus far about Felix have expressed to me how much they like him. The only people who seem to have a problem with him are certain gay men who are apparently afraid of a gay character who might be portrayed as a little bit effeminate. Well, I say shame on you, and shame on Andy Towle, too. Oy, indeed.
@Jeff: I thought the issue we were discussing here was whether or not this character was promoting stereotypes. Now you're attacking me for my storytelling ability? A little off the subject, but also a little misinformed. I did not write Luke/Noah on ATWT. Secondly, my writing the stereotype of a gay man selling lipstick (since when is this a gay stereotype???) was not "completely gratuitous." There is actually a story reason why it had to be lipstick and not vacuum cleaners, which will also become apparent on Monday. That's the thing about soap operas, they're on every day, and you actually have to watch them to get to know the characters. You don't learn everything there is to know about them in one day. So in spite of your misinformed opinion, I am not ashamed of Felix. I am proud of Felix. He is sweet and kind and charming and would never be caught dead selling vacuum cleaners.No matter what side of the debate you are on, there's no question the Felix character stirred up more discussion after one appearance than any new creation in recent memory.
@Rick: Wow. First of all, I'm not a Hollywood-type, I live in New York. Secondly, you don't know my bosses are hetero. Thirdly, you don't know my bosses at all, so how do you know what they do and do not delight in? Fourth of all, as I already pointed out in my first comment, I have created at least six gay characters in my career, and I have had tons of feedback from many gay men, both young and old, that these characters helped them in some way. I don't know if any of them were young gay male athletes in Kansas, but I think there are plenty of other role models out there for them besides gay Black nurses on General Hospital, although I still think, as role models go, they could do a lot worse.
Okay, @UFFDA, this is my final post on this topic. I HAVE done the work. I CAN prove the point. I CAN imagine the type of gay man you describe. Because I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN HIM. More than once, in fact. I have written masculine gay men, gay cops, gay med students, gay activists, lesbian activists, and now a gay male nurse who, yes, sells makeup to make extra money. If that makes me a hack, then fine, I'm a hack. Now go away and leave me alone. Oh, and watch General Hospital. It's a really good show.
Andy Towle has posted a follow up in response to Carlivati's comments.
There's no question in my mind that Mr. Carlivati should be allowed the chance to develop his character more fully before judgment is passed and I regret if my commentary suggested that it should. My expression of "oy" over what I perceived to be a stereotype may have been hasty, but was also informed by having written this site for 9 years and seeing more than a few damaging caricatures in television and movies along the way.
I've also reported very positively on other soap characters written by Mr. Carlivati. I'm looking forward to seeing how his Felix DuBois character develops and thank him for his remarks and reaction.

Dear Neighbor,
Throughout the year people stop me on the street to tell me how helpful they find the New York City Parking Calendar.
Most people say having the parking regulations handy saves them time, money and the headache of having their car towed. Obeying parking regulations also helps with street cleaning and reduces traffic congestion.
Here is your 2012 New York City Parking Calendar. It lists the days of the year that certain parking regulations are suspended throughout the five boroughs.
Be sure to read all parking signs carefully. If you get an undeserved parking ticket, call me and I'll send you my brochure entitled Your Rights When The PVO Is Wrong. Drive safely and remember to buckle up and please let me know if I can be of help in any other matter.

Blades Of Glory
If there was any doubt that my daughter is, indeed, Canadian, this should settle it: she has, at the age of two, decided that she wants to be a hockey player.
(She also wants to be a princess, which she does not see as posing any contradictions to her hockey aspirations. She will be, she informs us, Princess Hockey. That's a whole 'nother post.)
She has to learn to skate, first. We're working on that. She's picking it up pretty quickly, except for the part where she keeps insisting upon leaving the rink to find hockey sticks, and real hockey players:
I joke. I love that she wants to play hockey in a tutu. Subverting princess-ism and hockey machismo all in one go. Now if we could just get the boy, when he arrives, to aspire toward cowboy-violin artistry, or ballerina-firefighting, we'll be a post-graduate gender studies seminar.

Christian Converts Flee Syria, Seek Aslyum in U.S.
ISTANBUL, Turkey – A father and daughter who fled Egypt to Syria after spending two and a half years in hiding for becoming Christians have arrived in France and on Wednesday applied for asylum there, human rights advocates said.
Maher Ahmad El-Mo'otahssem Bellah El-Gohary, 58, had become the target of Islamic ill will in Egypt after he tried to change the religious affiliation on his national identification card from Muslim to Christian. He and his daughter, 17-year-old Dina Mo'otahssem, arrived in Paris from Syria on March 30 after having fled to Damascus on Feb. 22 in the wake of the revolution in Egypt that deposed then-President Hosni Mubarak.
The Jan. 25-Feb. 11 protests in Egypt also weakened the Ministry of the Interior, an agency that had harassed El-Gohary and prevented him from leaving the country.
El-Gohary had fled to Syria because it was both the fastest and the easiest way to get out of Egypt, but he said he also feared Islamic opposition to converts in Syria and growing political unrest in Damascus.
"When we got to the French embassy in Syria, we were so scared because of what was happening in Syria at the time," he said.
It took him more than a month to secure a visa to leave Syria. Previously in Egypt, he had been able to leave because he had received a court decision ordering the Ministry of the Interior to allow him to leave the country; taking advantage of the confusion gripping Egyptian government agencies in the wake of the anti-Mubarak protests, he left with his daughter.
Eventually El-Gohary and his daughter hope to gain a visa to the United States and then immigrate.
Despite their newfound safety, El-Gohary and Dina are still shaken by their ordeal. They said they are afraid that a Muslim extremist in France could seek them out and attack them. They also have unresolved medical issues from the physical stress of two years of hiding and from not being able to receive proper medical care during that time.
On Monday (April 18), El-Gohary went to the Embassy of the United States in Paris to apply for U.S. asylum as well. According to a Coptic activist who requested anonymity, the embassy advised El-Gohary that his best option was for his wife, who lives in the United States, to apply for a visa to allow him to enter the country. El-Gohary is also applying for a tourist visa to the United States. Human rights activists have advised El-Gohary to stay in France while he applies for asylum rather than go to the United States on a tourist visa, which may leave him financially exposed and hinder his immigration efforts.
Meantime, El-Gohary's application for asylum in France qualifies him for an automatic three-month extension on his visa to France, which was set to expire at the end of the month. The extension can be renewed as long as his case is unresolved. It also qualifies him for certain government benefits.
'Miracle from God'
El-Gohary and his daughter were forced into hiding in August 2008 immediately after he filed his lawsuit to change his ID card's religious designation. The suit caused uproar in a country where, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll, 84 percent of Muslims in Egypt believe those who leave Islam should be executed.
El-Gohary filed the suit, he said, because he wanted to spare his daughter the persecution he suffered when he became a Christian in his 20s. In theory, the religion listed on his ID card would be used to determine the religion listed on Dina's.
In Egypt, it is illegal for adults not to have a national ID card, and it is nearly impossible to survive without one. It is necessary for opening a bank account, renting an apartment and obtaining medical care. Also, being identified as a Muslim in Egypt makes one subject to Islamic civil law, which would have prevented Dina from marrying someone identified as a Christian.
Freedom of religion, including the right to change one's religion, is guaranteed in Egypt by law. But in practice, while it is easy for Christian converts to Islam to change the religion listed on their ID cards, it is impossible for a Muslim convert to Christianity to do the same.
For the time that El-Gohary and his daughter were on the run, they lived a marginal existence, moving from one safe house to another about once every month. On different occasions, he and Dina were attacked. On one occasion, El-Gohary said, Dina had acid thrown on her. On another, he said someone came at him with a knife.
El-Gohary called his escape from Egypt a "miracle from God," but when he arrived in Syria he was quickly faced with the reality that he was alone in a country in which he had no support network and felt almost as unsafe as he did in Egypt. Also, his expectation that he would be able to quickly obtain a visa to the United States proved false. Frustrated by what he described as a cold reception at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, he began to look for any country in Europe that would give him an entry visa.
On advice of the Vatican Embassy in Syria, El-Gohary went to the French Embassy in Damascus, which issued a short-term visa the same day.
"I really appreciate what the French ambassador did for us," El-Gohary said. "The French saved us."
El-Gohary was able to get to France with the support of Egyptian Christians and advocacy groups, most notably the United Copts of Great Britain. Dr. Ibrahim Habib, a Copt and the chairman of the group, said his organization arranged accommodation for El-Gohary and Dina with an Egyptian Christian in France. Habib said El-Gohary, motivated by fear, left for France unprepared.
"He was going to France without knowing anybody at all," Habib said. "He was just going to land in the airport and start thinking, 'What are we going to do?'"

11 Best Nail Care ProductsSee which top-rated products really come in handy (wink) for your nails |
Since you've been so honest, we'll do the same -- thanks to hundreds of women across web, we've drummed up a foolproof list of the best nail products on the market. Finally, winning the battle against those little troublemakers is at your fingertips.
Susan Nam, celebrity manicurist and owner of Polished Beauty Bar in New York City, weighs in on the truth behind nail care:
First, your cuticles -- Nam recommends not cutting them (since they protect us from germs and bacteria) and says to choose cuticle creams and oils that contain ingredients like jojoba and vitamin E. Also, remember: "You can get the same results from moderately priced items as really expensive ones," says Nam. "The most important thing to look for is the list of ingredients."
Our guru also advises using 240-grid nail files, since they are the least abrasive on natural nails. You definitely shouldn't drop a wad of cash on one of these, either -- according to Nam, "nail files should be changed every few weeks, because they are prone to grow bacteria."
Once you've filled your tool belt with the basics, there are a few things you can do to maximize the staying power of a manicure. "You should apply a coat of topcoat mid-week to keep it looking fresh and help prevent it from chipping," Nam says. "If you do your manicure at home, make sure to start with a clean, oil-free nail."
So, what are you waiting for? Let's clean up those suckers. Here are the best nail products you need in your mani toolkit.

You can go file back and forth with a glass file? I have to get one! Going one direction is so tedious...

These are all good products for nail care. Everyone hates to chip or break a nail. Especially when removing to plastic seal and tight cap from an eye drop bottle. A new product is coming this month designed to eliminate the hassle. It is called CapTool, Your Helping Hand.

I use a wonderful nail file made of crystal glass, so gentle on the nails! i like when i see that the products recommended are sometimes "cheapies" - like Vaseline. Who says that in order to work a product needs to be super-expensive?!

i'd skip emery file, those tend to damage nails, and would add a buff and polisher.

Pretty cool, but I'm pretty plain when it comes to nail care.

I am a big lover of everything Vaseline I am going to have to check out that hand/nail lotion! I have a crystal nail file, and if I go back and fourth on the nail it gives me the heebee geebees! It does feel much better than the old emery board.

So I pulled up the iTunes Music Store to download a copy, and while doing so noticed a new feature on the home page called "Just For You." Upon closer inspection, this turned out to be the equivalent of Amazon's recommendations: "You bought X, therefore we think you'll enjoy Y."
Unfortunately, the people who will probably unveil a 400GB video iPod the size of a Rice Krispie for Christmas 2007 are having problems refining the database queries that determine what's just for me.
Here are my last five purchases from the iTunes Music Store, aside from "Cherokee Maiden":
- "Va, pensiero" from Verdi's Nabucco
- "Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabella" sung by Marilyn Horne
- "I'll Fly Away" sung by Alison Krauss
- "Au fond du temple" from Bizet's Les Pecheurs des perles
- The Brokeback Mountain soundtrack
- "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas
- a dance remix of "Toxic" by Britney Spears
- "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson
If this were 18th century France and iTunes were the Marquis de Fromage-Verte, I would slap its face with my glove and call for pistols at dawn.

This months Daring Bakers challenge was a filbert gateau with praline buttercream. When I first read the title of the challenge I was pleased as it sounded good. Unfortunately as I read the instructions I realized that I would not be able to complete the challenge as it was. The recipe called for grinding hazelnuts into a flour and grinding praline into a paste. I do not have a full food processor and my mini chopper is on its last legs and is not nearly capable of grinding nuts. I decided that I would at least try and come up with something and I was thinking that an almond themed cake would be nice.
Filbert Genoise
I had some almond meal on hand and I decided to use that instead of grinding the hazelnuts into a meal. I did not want a large cake all for myself so I cut the recipe in half. I used my 2 small 4 inch spring form pans and 2 ramekins to bake the cake and this allowed me to make 2 small 2 layer cakes. One thing that I have been enjoying about the DB challenges is that there is no shortage of beating in them. I really need to pick up a mixer. For this challenge I fell back to my trusty pair of forks.
Simple Syrup
Continuing with the almond theme I added a splash of amaretto to the simple syrup.
Swiss Buttercream
This is the third time that I have made buttercream and each time has been easier than the last. This time it came together really quickly. My biggest problem now is trying to not eat it all before it gets onto the cake. Since I would only be doing two layers instead of 3 and since I have no skill in decorating with buttercream I cut the recipe down to a quarter of its original size. I also added a splash of amaretto to the buttercream.
Chocolate Ganache
The last time that I made a chocolate ganache glaze it came out pretty good with a nice glossy finish but this time it did not work at all. The chocolate ganache was not shiny at all and it had a texture that just would not smooth out. At least it still tasted good.
Almond Praline
The original recipe called for the praline to be ground into a paste and mixed in with the buttercream which sounded really good. Since I could not grind the praline into a paste I decided use the praline as a decoration on the cake. I went with chopped almonds rather than the hazelnuts. I think that it came out as more of an almond brittle rather than almond praline but it tasted great!
I ran into a few troubles along the way but I ended up with a tasty cake. I really enjoyed the almond flavour throughout the cake. I am really glad that I got to make the almond praline/brittle as it was really good. I am going to have to work on my cake decorating skills. It's time for me to go and look at all of the other Daring Bakers wonderful creations.

Development Branches Policy
From Openmoko
This page is used to describe the policy we use for the different software development branches. This page is about general principles, but as new releases are made the branche names used as examples become obsolete. For the situation around September 2008, see this mail and that one on the closing of .asu.dev .
The git repository can be seen at this address : http://git.openmoko.org/?p=openmoko.git
Outdated warning ! This article or section is significantly outdated, either by significant hardware or software changes. Procedures mentioned in this page may well not work for current hardware/software. |
We want to release a product every few months. Every release will have a unique name (of course :-) )
The git server is at this address : git.openmoko.org
The current release name is ASU, so the current git branches for the release are :
- org.openmoko.asu.dev
- org.openmoko.asu.stable
There are several phases of a software release.
- Design phase:
- Designers release their design and create the software requirement specifications (SRSs).
- Developers and Testing Team give technical feedbacks based on the SRS.
- Designer and Test Team release the final SRS
- Developing phase:
- Developers start implementing the feature set (based on the SRS).
- For developers writing Software design specifications (SDSs) are recommended.
- Test Team creates the test cases (TC) based on the SRS.
- Designers collect feedback from all parties involved and adjust requirements (CRs) and issues CRs (This shall be done every carefully, the times of issuing CRs shall be limited. Less then three times is recommend.)
- Feature locked phase:
- Lock down all the features: No more feature are added or changed only removing of features is allowed.
- If there are some new ideas or features, leave them to the next release or use the general development branch.
- Developers finish their features.
- Release phase:
- Lock all the software versions.
- Only bug fixing is allowed here.
- Fully software testing of particular image (ST).
- Developers fix all the bugs from ST.
- When all fixable bugs are fixed, then release.
So every time we start developing a new release we branch from openmoko.dev into two branches:
- The stable branch, where every software package is only updated if it is considered to be sufficiently stable. It is up to the maintainer of that branch to make sure that the software meets these requirements. The name of that branch should be the name of the release. The auto image builder will generate ready to flash images whenever required to reflect the status of this branch. The name of this branch is org.openmoko.$(release_name).stable
- The development branch, where we add features which are still needed for _this_ release. All other feature have to go into the openmoko.dev branch. The developers should make sure that the code is at least buildable before it is committed into that branch. The auto image builder will generate ready to flash images daily to let the designers track the latest development. The branch name should be org.openmoko.$(release_name).dev
- The unstable branch is used to merge updates from upstream and to develop our OE modifications. All ideas / prototypes / unstable projects not included in the release will stay in the openmoko.dev branch and can be developed there independently from the release schedule.
Every developer related to the current release will work on the dev branch before release phase, and then merge into the stable branch.
In any case, all the project versions are specified on stable branch from the beginning to the end.
At developing phase, all the project versions shall be locked, exception those projects highly related to our product on dev branch.
At feature lock phase, all the projects version shall be locked, exception those projects that only controlled by Openmoko on dev branch. For our projects fixed version are recommend in this phase.
When entering releasing phase, every developers will switch to stable branch, and only bug fix is allowed here. Developers shall send out update request to distrobution team.
After testing team confirm that all fixable bug or all bug need to be fixed are fixed, release the image from stable branch. Merge the changes from stable branch to openmoko.dev, after release.
Here is a little graph that can explain things. The horizontal axis represents the time, the red lines represent some possible operations.
Kernel policy
The fso-testing distro builds the version of the linux-openmoko kernel denotes as latest stable by the conf/distro/include/sane-srcrevs.inc file, which currently (24/9/08) in OE git (not OM git) on the org.openembedded.dev branch says:
SRCREV_pn-linux-openmoko ?= "ca19d156400f817960efe0d14680324b2ea34171"
In OM git, that same file (in the org.openmoko.dev branch) says:
SRCREV_pn-linux-openmoko ?= "a1e97c611253511ffc2d8c45e3e6d6894fa03fa3"
which matches the ipk in http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02/
I have no idea what determines which version is built for the feeds at http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/unstable/om-gta02/ since there is no published build configuration on downloads.openmoko.org anywhere to be found.
It's up the the person in charge of testing the linux-openmoko bitbake recipe to determine what the latest stable version in the feeds should be by updating that sane-srcrevs.inc file (after booting an image using that kernel of course).

WHAT in the name of sweet Lassie is that spider doing?!?
I have two questions for Mr. Ghost-with-the-Most here:
First, why did the Wreckerator feel it necessary to include two small chocolate bars and a gummi worm? And second, why, oh why, did s/he put them there and in that order?
Q) What do you get if you cross Princess Leia, Dracula, and the Bride of Frankenstein?
