An oophorectomy (oh-of-uh-REK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove one or both of your ovaries. Your ovaries are almond-shaped organs that sit on each side of the uterus in your pelvis. Your ovaries contain eggs and produce hormones that control your menstrual cycle.
When an oophorectomy involves removing both ovaries, it's called bilateral oophorectomy. When the surgery involves removing only one ovary, it's called unilateral oophorectomy.
An oophorectomy may be performed for:
An oophorectomy can be done alone, but it is often done as part of a more-complete surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) in women who have undergone menopause.
In those with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, an oophorectomy is commonly combined with surgery to remove the nearby fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) since they share a common blood supply with the ovaries. When combined, the procedure is called a salpingo-oophorectomy.
An oophorectomy is a relatively safe procedure. However, with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved.
Risks of an oophorectomy include the following:
If you haven't undergone menopause, you will experience premature menopause if both ovaries are removed. This deprives the body of the hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, produced in the ovaries, leading to complications such as:
Taking low doses of hormone replacement drugs after surgery and until about age 50 may reduce the risk of these complications. But hormone replacement therapy has risks of its own. Discuss your options with your doctor.
To prepare for an oophorectomy, your doctor may ask that you:
You may need to stay in the hospital for a few days after an oophorectomy. How long you stay depends on how the procedure is performed and the reason for your surgery. Ask your doctor what you can expect.
Plan ahead for time in the hospital by packing:
If you want to have children, talk with your doctor about your options. For some conditions, you may need only one ovary removed (unilateral oophorectomy). With the remaining ovary, you'll still have a menstrual cycle and conceive naturally.
If both of your ovaries are removed (bilateral oophorectomy), but your uterus remains, you may be able to become pregnant using assisted reproductive technology. Ask your doctor to refer you to a fertility specialist who can review your options with you.
During oophorectomy surgery you'll receive anesthetics to put you in a sleep-like state. You won't be awake during the procedure.
An oophorectomy can be performed two ways:
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. In this surgical approach, the surgeon makes three or four very small incisions in your abdomen.
The surgeon inserts a tube with a tiny camera through one incision and special surgical tools through the others. The camera transmits video to a monitor in the operating room that the surgeon uses to guide the surgical tools.
Each ovary is separated from the blood supply and surrounding tissue and placed in a pouch. The pouch is pulled out of your abdomen through one of the small incisions.
Laparoscopic oophorectomy may also be robotically assisted in certain cases. During robotic surgery, the surgeon watches a 3-D monitor and uses hand controls that allow finer movement of the surgical tools.
Whether your oophorectomy is an open, laparoscopic or robotic procedure depends on your situation. Laparoscopic or robotic oophorectomy usually offers quicker recovery, less pain and a shorter hospital stay. But these procedures aren't appropriate for everyone, and in some cases, surgery that begins as laparoscopic may need to be converted to an open procedure during the operation.
After an oophorectomy, you can expect to:
How quickly you can go back to your normal activities after an oophorectomy depends on your situation, including the reason for your surgery and how it was performed.
Most people can return to full activity by six weeks after surgery. Those who undergo laparoscopic or robotic surgery may return to full activity sooner — as early as two weeks after surgery.
Discuss exercise, driving, sexual restrictions and overall activity level with your surgeon.

SEC Travel Expenses Cost MU Extra One Million Dollars
COLUMBIA (AP) - The University of Missouri's first year as the northernmost outpost of the Southeastern Conference cost the school an extra $1 million in unanticipated travel expenses.
Missouri spent $7.1 million on travel in the 2012-13 academic year. That's $1 million more than what athletics officials expected and nearly $2 million more than travel costs during the school's final season in the Big 12 Conference, according to The Columbia Daily Tribune.
Missouri shared the top spot for SEC travel costs with fellow Big 12 exile Texas A&M among the seven SEC public schools that provided data to the Tribune.
Commercial flights from Columbia to most SEC campuses are limited, and the move from the Big 12 eliminated games at three schools within driving distance: Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State.

Simple Communication Technique Could Help Diabetes Patients
Diabetes management may improve when physicians use an interactive communication technique with patients. Unfortunately, physicians underuse this simple strategy, according to a new study, which appears in the January 13 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine. Prior research has shown that patients fail to recall or comprehend as much as half of what they are told by their physicians, according to UCSF researchers. "In this study, we tried to identify simple communication techniques that make physicians more effective teachers," said Dean Schillinger, MD, UCSF assistant professor of medicine at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center (SFGHMC) and lead author of the study. The investigators used audio tapes of actual visits at a public hospital's clinics to measure the extent to which primary care physicians interacted with their patients to assess patient recall and comprehension of new concepts. They recorded visits between 38 physicians and 74 English-speaking patients with diabetes and poor health literacy. Study findings showed that physicians used this interactive technique in only 20 percent of visits and for only 12 percent of new concepts, explained Schillinger. Patients with poor health literacy may experience problems ranging from reading labels on a pill bottle, interpreting blood sugar values or dosing schedules, and comprehending appointment slips and educational brochures. They are more likely to have troubles with oral communication, as well," said Schillinger. He explained that poor health literacy is common in public hospital settings and among the elderly. "Some physicians asked patients to respond to newly delivered information, while other physicians asked patients to restate the instructions or 'teach back' the information. Patients whose physicians explicitly assess recall or comprehension in these ways were more likely to have good diabetes control, said Schillinger. "We found that using this strategy did not require lengthier visits. By checking patients' recall and comprehension or critical concepts, more physicians may be able to effectively partner with their diabetes patients to achieve better outcomes." Additional investigators on the study include John Piette, PhD, associate professor of medicine, Center for Practice Management and Outcomes Research, VA Ann Arbor Health Care System, Ann Arbor, MI; Kevin Grumbach, MD, UCSF professor of family and community medicine; Frances Wang, MS, UCSF department of medicine; Clifford Wilson, BA, UCSF department of medicine; Carolyn Daher, MPH, UCSF department of medicine; Krishelle Leong-Grotz, BS, Case Western Reserve University; Cesar Castro, MD, University of California Berkeley; and Andrew Bindman, MD, UCSF professor of medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics. The study was supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the UCSF Hellman Family Early Career Research Award, the Pfizer Inc. Health Literacy Research Award, and the UCSF General Clinical Research Center at SFGHMC. AHRQ, a part of the U.S. Public Health Service, is the lead agency charged with supporting research designed to improve the quality of health care, reduce its cost, improve patient safety, address medical errors, and broaden access to essential services. AHRQ sponsors and conducts research that provides evidence-based information on health care outcomes; quality; and cost, use, and access.

It was a pleasant surprise when Martin Gore asked for a meeting. He'd been working on some demos and bloody good they were too, all of them cover versions.
Most interesting to me were the songs he picked that were of early 80s vintage. The biggest revelation was Joe Crow's Compulsion, a wonderful song I hadn't previously heard. In a Manner of Speaking by Tuxedomoon was a brave choice considering the intensity of Winston Tong's original performance. I could only stand up and applaud his choice of Smile in the Crowd by The Duritti Column. Gone was a great song by the underrated Comsat Angels. Each of these songs Martin brought something new to and made his own, of course without negating the superb originals in any way.
He also demoed three older songs: the gospel standard Motherless Child; the beautiful Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth by genius composer Ron Mael of Sparks; and Hey Bulldog, a fab four song that I personally like a lot, but it didn't sit all that well with the others and wasn't completed.
So we found a loft studio by the canal, just up the road from Mute, and got to work. A lot of the recording time was spent on vocals, as I believe Martin to be a unique singer and I wanted to be sure to present his full range. Instrumentally we didn't build much on the demos, and in retrospect maybe we should have. But for better or worse, what you're hearing on this EP is Martin Gore with his guitar and cranky BBC computer, singing his heart out.
Martin's nifty guitar playing was a major revelation. He'd often turn away from the cranky computer, pick up his acoustic and launch into an Everly Brothers song, or even John Denver, and I'd happily join in on harmony. I managed to record one of these jams (without my harmonies), the old Billy Joe Royal classic Down In The Boondocks (written by Joe South). We thought this was great until Fletch came down for a visit and opined "sounds like bleedin' Dave Edmunds", so that killed that one. Somehow though it has found its way onto YouTube.

In the wake of the death of Johnny Storm, the Fantastic Four are getting both a new member and a name change. Today Marvel announced that Spider-Man would be joining the ranks of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and Ben Grimm, starting in FF #1, which comes out March 23 with the creative team of Jonathan Hickman (script) and Steve Epting (pencils):
After the death of the Human Torch, the surviving members of the Fantastic Four-Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman & Thing-join with Spider-Man and some top secret members to form an unstoppable force: The Future Foundation. Their mission is simple: save the Marvel Universe from its greatest threats and prevent future dangers from arising. But even with knowledge of what's to come and one of the most powerful teams ever assembled, just what villainous force could stand in their way?
You may remember that Spider-Man attempted to join the team in the very first issue of Amazing Spider-Man but turned it down because they didn't pay. In the 1990s, Spider-Man was an interim member of the team along with Wolverine, Hulk, and Ghost Rider, but this configuration of the team lasted only a couple of issues.

Lawsuit against Chris Kyle over bogus story moves to U.S. District Court
Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, June 11, 2012
Former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura's lawsuit against Navy SEAL Chris Kyle over Kyle's claims that he punched Ventura in a bar for insulting a dead U.S. soldier has gone to court, with Ventura receiving the backing of several prominent former SEALs who affirm the incident never happened.
Kyle claimed that he met Ventura in a bar in Coronado in 2006 while Ventura was in town to speak to a new class of SEAL graduates at nearby Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Also present were family members holding a wake for Michael Mansoor, one of the first SEALs killed in Iraq. Kyle claims Ventura began loudly objecting to the war in Iraq before calling the troops "murderers" and saying "we deserved to lose a few guys".
Kyle then claims he punched Ventura, knocked him to the floor, and quickly ran away.
The story was included in Kyle's book, American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, and during a subsequent television interview on Fox News, owned by News Corp. which also owns the publisher of the book, Kyle named Ventura as the man he "laid out."
After Ventura found out about the claim, he immediately instructed his lawyer to file a lawsuit against Kyle for defamation, asserting that the incident never took place place and that he had witnesses to prove it, having only visited the bar in question once before.
Back in February, Kyle filed a petition to have the case moved to U.S. District Court in St. Paul. Ventura considered dropping the case but after being contacted by several prominent former US Navy Seals, was "ordered" to go ahead with the lawsuit after Kyle failed to agree to a settlement that would have seen him admit to lying and pay attorney fees.
One of those ex-SEALs is Ventura's former instructor, the widely respected Terry "Mother" Moy, owner of the bar where the incident is alleged to have occurred.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
After investigating the incident, Moy and his fellow SEALs confirmed that the event never took place and that Kyle had invented it to generate publicity for his book.
An added reason for their support of Ventura is the fact that they are sick of seeing Navy SEALs stab each other in the back for profit, the former Governor of Minnesota told Infowars.
Shortly after the controversy erupted at the beginning of the year, Ventura told Infowars that he thought the story may have been concocted for the additional reason of discrediting him politically because of his vehement support for Ron Paul and his crusade against the TSA.
"If a former Governor within the SEAL community had been knocked down and hit and assaulted, it would have traveled through the SEAL community like wildfire," said Ventura, pointing out how "absurd" it was for the incident only to come to light almost six years later.
"He never hit me, I don't even know who he is," said Ventura, adding that if the incident had occurred the way Kyle described, there would be a police report, which there isn't.
Jesse Ventura will appear on the Alex Jones Show for a full hour tomorrow to discuss the lawsuit.
Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com. He is the author of Order Out Of Chaos. Watson is also a regular fill-in host for The Alex Jones Show and Infowars Nightly News.

Kaylie celebrates!
I had a wonderful weekend. On Feb. 16, 2002 a very precious pink bundle or pure sweetness was born into our family. Kaylie celebrated her Birthday by having a few friends over for a sleep-over and I felt like going to the party would just be spending time more with her Mom than with her. I invited her to come over this weekend instead. I picked Kaylie up from school and took her shopping for her gift. But our first stop was at Kurios Books for a Latte and browse. Kaylie is a girl after my own heart....she loves to read! She picked up a 2-book series as part of her gift...you just can't have enough books!! From there we went to Warehouse One and found her 4 cute tops. We did some more exploring through the stores before heading home and eating a well deserved supper. An evening of watching movies and browsing through pictures and me telling stories.
Sat. morning we pulled out the baby pics and scrapping supplies and scrapped the whole morning. Mom came to pick up Kaylie just after lunch. We had fun :)

My Friend the Shredder
No, Shredder is not a guy with sharp teeth and a motor-mouth...he is indeed a paper shredder. One thing I procrastinate at is filing papers and bills. I hate doing it and everytime I go to find something I vow that I will get it all organized and filed away properly...if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times...ugh!! This time I was serious and ...oh my!!!...what a job!! I had paper going back to the 1990s....I know, hey??!! So, I've been spending a lot of my day just sorting and shredding and filing and today I can honestly say that I'm on the home stretch....hallelujah and pass the hand lotion :)

Yesterday, after a very full day doing my grocery shopping and a bit of other running around, I came home to discover that DH was home already.....home from working north of Fort Nelson, on the Sierra(not that I know where exactly that is) for two weeks. With DH new job, for now he is on a two weeks out and then one week home. We've gotten all the running around stuff done and we're now settling in to enjoy his week at home. I've missed him terribly this time, so to solve the fact that we weren't able to communicate via our lap-tops, we've gotten me a cell phone so at least we'll be able to text and stay in touch. Not a bad toy for me to play with either.

I came across this Blog today! What an encouraging article. I think we all have an inner voice that makes us focus more on our faults than our beauty. I agree with Teresa, in that I have seen a pic of myself and all I can focus in are the double chins hanging down to my knees. But we deprive our loved ones of precious memorable moments and life is too short to get all hung up on what we perceive to be ugly. I guess my challenge to myself is to make this the "Year of Faye"
"So you're feeling too fat to be photographed? . . . Ok. But you're the only one who notices. The rest of us are too caught up in loving you."

New Beginning
This winter has been like riding a thermometer roller-coaster ride. The temps go from extreme frigid to mild, from blustery winds lowering the wind chill factors risking frostbite and then back to Chinook-mild winds that melt the snow and creating icy conditions in the chill nights!!
With this New Year's arrival came a new job for DH. He goes away for two weeks and then home for a week (for this project anyhow!) It's not the easiest schedule, but there is plenty of room for advancement and for now I can hang in there. It's a huge relief and blessing for DH to have landed such an awesome opportunity for us.

I just received this email from AAS press office Dr. Rick Feinberg on the findings of Mars Curiosity. The gist of it is speculations of a major find on Mars are incorrect. Full email below:
"The next news conference about the NASA Mars rover Curiosity will be held at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3, in San Francisco at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
Rumors and speculation that there are major new findings from the mission at this early stage are incorrect. The news conference will be an update about first use of the rover's full array of analytical instruments to investigate a drift of sandy soil. One class of substances Curiosity is checking for is organic compounds — carbon-containing chemicals that can be ingredients for life. At this point in the mission, the instruments on the rover have not detected any definitive evidence of Martian organics.
The Mars Science Laboratory Project and its Curiosity rover are less than four months into a two-year prime mission to investigate whether conditions in Mars' Gale Crater may have been favorable for microbial life. Curiosity is exceeding all expectations for a new mission with all of the instruments and measurement systems performing well. This is spectacular for such a complex system, and one that is operated so far away on Mars by people here on planet Earth. The mission already has found an ancient riverbed on the Red Planet, and there is every expectation for remarkable discoveries still to come.
Monday's news conference will be in Rooms 134 and 135 of Hall E of Moscone Center North, located in the 700 block of Howard Street between Third and Fourth streets. Information about news media registration with AGU is available at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/media-center/
Audio and visuals from the briefing also will be streamed online at http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl"

Summary and Keywords
As in the case of other Western literary traditions, women's relationship to writing in Spanish America has been problematic since early modernity. From colonial times onward, women's emergence on the writing scene as authors went hand in hand with a redescription of the feminine that allowed them to become producers of written culture and to find a respectable entry into the public sphere from which they were excluded. Spanish-American feminine tradition from the 16th through the 20th centuries may be read as a gradual, heterogeneous, and difficult but nonetheless sustained and very productive occupation of new ground. Legitimation of their voice passed through the reading of the male tradition, the establishment of a female tradition, and the redescription of a subjectivity that would make it possible for them to take up the pen and eventually to imagine themselves being read by others. Establishing the contents of these women's libraries, reconstructed through their testimonies of reading both in a colonial society in which illiteracy was very high—especially among women—and in 19th-century society in general, and in which access to the written word remained restricted, are key elements for understanding their writing. Most female authorship during the colonial period took the form of religious writing and was dependent upon the male figure of the confessor, as was the possibility of publishing their life stories and writings. But women authors were not only nuns, and it is also possible to find examples of women who left their mark on writing due to special circumstances (travelers and so-called witches). Male tutelage tended to remain in force throughout the 19th century, and newspapers would provide vitally important new spaces for publication in the young independent republics. Women's relationship to newspapers, both as readers and authors, was essential to this writing tradition, and it would allow them to build reading and editorial networks—both within the Americas and across the Atlantic, a context that must be understood to properly understand their writing projects. Women writers in the early 20th century would travel, not without difficulty, along the roads paved by the pioneers. The year 1959, a provisional closing date marked by the Cuban Revolution, helps position 20th-century literature as one of the forms of the crisis of modernity: that which reveals and celebrates heterogeneity and could no longer openly continue excluding women from the authorized spaces for the production of meaning.

Two American women won medals in the 100m hurdles Tuesday, and neither was named Lolo.
Defending champion Dawn Harper took silver and Kellie Wells bronze, finishing just behind winner Sally Pearson of Australia.
Lolo Jones, seeking redemption after blowing her gold-medal run in 2008, came in fourth.
U.S. & World
Pearson finished in 12.35 seconds, two hundredths of a second ahead of Harper while setting a new Olympic record in the rain. Wells finished in third in 12.48.
After crossing the finish line, Pearson wasn't sure that she'd won, but when the times were flashed on the Olympic Stadium scoreboard, she collapsed in joyful tears. Harper applauded her.
The race ensured Pearon's place as the top female hurdler in the world.
And it effectively ended Jones' comeback story.
Four years ago in Beijing, she was the favorite to win the event. She led through eight hurdles, then clipped the ninth, and failed to medal.
Since then, Jones, telegenic and charismatic, has become a media obsession, and Jones fueled it by speaking openly about her personal life – from a homeless childhood to her struggles to maintain her virginity -- in interviews and on Twitter. The media attention grew to such a frenzy that Harper, the woman who beat her and everyone else in 2008 – and who had her own compelling personal story of escaping poverty – openly wondered why she was living in Jones' shadow.
Today that shadow has been diminished.

be dead on (one's) feet
1. To be near to the point of collapse or losing consciousness (as due to exhaustion or injury) while still remaining on one's feet; to be just short of being asleep or unconscious. It seems dangerous to force sleep-deprived doctors to attend to their patients while they're dead on their feet.
2. To be all but or as good as defeated; to be still functioning, but past the point of usefulness or productivity. The company has managed to remain open, but, truth be told, it's really been dead on its feet for the last year.

Elections, hurricanes, soap operas at the CIA -- hey, you can be forgiven if Thanksgiving sneaked up on you. But we haven't forgotten one of Kiplinger's favorite holiday traditions -- the common-stock-free high-income investment portfolio we call Tofurky, after the soy-and-tofu ersatz turkey roast. We're trying to serve up the high returns and generous dividends of stocks but without any common stocks (preferreds, partnerships, real estate investment trusts , and limited liability companies are okay). Given that stock prices are limping as we write this, we suspect there's an appetite for this concoction.
We change the recipe annually, and the suggestions below differ from last year's Tofurky formula. That one didn't work out badly, though: From the beginning of the year through November 15, it turned every $1 into $1.10, with only two of the 12 investments making a loss.
We've learned a couple of lessons from last year. Bonds and preferred stocks are in fine shape, but one of our favorite go-to income investments, BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (symbol BPT), is losing money -- down 26% for the year through November 20 -- as the price of domestic crude oil fell to the lowest levels for a couple of years and forced the trust to cut dividends. When gas is over $4 a gallon in much of the nation, BPT is a keeper. When it trends toward $3, take a break on BPT and find another way to turn oil into income. We're substituting a limited liability company called Vanguard Natural Resources.
The rest of the portfolio scarcely can be improved. So, here goes. The current yield on the whole as we get ready for Thanksgiving dinner is 4.7%.
Domestic bonds: 30%
We doubt bond prices will rise sharply again in 2013 as in 2012, because interest rates cannot keep dropping much more or they'll go to zero. (When rates fall, bonds gain in value, because an old bond is more desirable than a new one that pays you less interest.) But our three bond bellwethers are certainly worth keeping, as 10% each of the portfolio: the closed-end DWS Municipal Income (KTF) for municipals, mutual fund Fidelity Capital & Income (FAGIX) for high-yield, and then iShares iBoxx Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD), an ETF. The trio's distribution yields are 5.5%, 5.5% and 3.7% respectively. (All yields are as of November 20.)
Energy: 20%
Oil's getting cheaper, and natural gas is cheap, but the business of finding the stuff, moving it, and preparing it for the consumer is strong. Pipeline and storage partnership Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP) is a keeper for 10% of the whole. Pair that with Vanguard Natural Resources LLC (VNR), which gets you the exploration and production side and still a good yield because it's a limited liability company. MMP yields 4.5% and Vanguard (no connection with the mutual fund company) yields 8.8%.
Preferred stocks: 15%
With interest rates steady but the payouts on these high-quality hybrid securities often a good 7% or more, we're bumping up the allocation here from 10% to 15%. The best way to buy preferreds in a package is iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (PFF), which yields 6.4% (its SEC yield 6.5%).
Foreign bonds: 10%
So many overseas bonds are winning credit upgrades and paying good yields that we're tempted to push this category beyond 10%. Maybe next year. Fidelity New Markets Income (FNMIX) covers the emerging markets, while T. Rowe Price International Bond (RPIBX) concentrates on Japan and Europe. The funds yield 4.5% and 2.4% (with SEC yields of 4.1% and 1.6%) respectively.
Bank loans: 10%
Fidelity Floating Rate High Income (FFRHX) is one of our all-time favorites. It owns pieces of syndicated bank loans and credit lines for corporations and does it with no load and low costs. The yield is 3.2% (with an SEC yield of 3.0%).
Mortgages: 10%
Time to get safety-conscious here and stick to government-guaranteed Ginnie Mae securities, pools of federally guaranteed home loans. Because of extraordinary Federal Reserve buying of such mortgages, the yields on GNMA funds are falling, but not so much that we would avoid them in favor of CDs or money-market funds. There are many good GNMA funds, but we've usually gone with Vanguard GNMA (VFIIX) because of its rock-bottom expenses. The latest yield is 2.5% (SEC yield: 2.4%).
Cash 5%
Cash still doesn't yield anything, but it's good to have it on tap for scooping up cheap assets. You might even want to buy stocks if the November selling continues into December.

VATICAN CITY — Like anyone preparing a traditional Christmas celebration, the pope's master of liturgical ceremonies said he wants the venerable, tried and true elements to speak to people's hearts as if they were brand new.
On Monday Msgr. Guido Marini, the papal Mass organizer, gave the Vatican newspaper a listing of rites and furnishings that have been added or moved for the pope's Yuletide celebrations this year.
First, a prayer vigil will precede the pope's Christmas Mass at midnight with "an alternation of readings, prayers and music to help the souls of everyone present enter a climate of prayer," Msgr. Marini said. The vigil will end with the singing of the "kalenda," an official proclamation of Christmas that had been part of the papal entrance procession for more than 20 years.
Then, he said, the bells of St. Peter's will ring during the singing of the "Gloria" to join the angels in announcing Christ's birth with joy.
Another change involves the Vatican's wooden statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus on her lap — a statue usually placed by the altar on the Jan. 1 feast of Mary, Mother of God. This year, Msgr. Marini said, the statue will be near the altar from Christmas Eve onward in order to "underline how Christmastime is also a Marian time. The Holy Virgin does not take anything away from the mystery of the Son of God made man, but helps us understand its real meaning."
He also said that on the Jan. 11 feast of the Baptism of the Lord, when the pope will baptize 13 newborn children of Vatican employees in the Sistine Chapel, he would celebrate Mass at the chapel's fixed altar, as he did a year ago. Under Michelangelo's fresco, "The Last Judgment," the altar is against the wall, requiring the pope to celebrate part of the Mass with his back to the congregation.

When a Florida Atlantic University professor ordered students to stomp on a piece of paper with the word "Jesus" written on it, he joined a growing list of classroom instructors with unconventional teaching methods.
The fallout from the FAU incident prompted Florida Gov. Rick Scott to sound off on Tuesday and issue a letter to the school to express disapproval over the lesson, which was intended to teach students about the power of words. One student was also suspended for refusing to participate.
Chalk it up to school budget cuts or the short attention span of students in the classroom, but educators have been reaching for teaching methods that are attention-grabbing, yet they left some parents, students and schools scratching their heads.
Here are some of those "What were they thinking?" moments in recent classroom history.
- Stripping Professor - A quantum mechanics professor attracted widespread attention last month when he stripped down to his underwear during a lecture at Columbia University in front of a classroom full of confused students, NBC New York reported. Prof. Emlyn Hughes was accompanied by two ninjas who helped him execute blindfolded stuffed animals by impaling them with their swords. So what was the lesson? "In order to learn quantum mechanics, you have to strip to your raw, erase all the garbage from your brain and start over again," Hughes said.
- Classroom Kink - Students at Northwestern University witnessed a live sex act involving a woman and a sex toy during a human sexuality class taught by Prof. John Michael Bailey, according to NBC Chicago. It was a lesson on kinks and fetishes, the professor said, and he wanted to prevent students from surrendering to what he called "sex negativity and fear." "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but watching naked people on stage doing pleasurable things will never hurt you," Bailey told his class in the wake of the 2011 controversy. Bailey has since issued an apology and promised the demo will not be repeated.
- Classroom Klan - In a surprise twist, students, parents and teachers rallied behind a U.S. history teacher at Las Vegas Academy who faced backlash for allowing two juniors to dress up as Ku Klux Klan members for a class presentation in January. A photograph of one of the students circulated on social media leading to an uproar in the community. But some students weren't buying it. "The infamous KKK is discussed for several pages in the school's history textbook, it is in the curriculum, and it is a big part of the history of this nation … (one) that cannot be changed," said Karina Foster, a junior at the school. "As a U.S. history instructor, this teacher was simply doing his job. He had no intent to offend or disturb the public." The year before, the school was slammed for allowing theater students to use the N-word during a production of "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
- Morbid Math - A third grade teacher in Washington D.C. was fired last March when students went home with some some very complicated math problems. One asked students to figure out how many criminals a SWAT team member killed on an average day after killing "163 terrorists, 296 murderers and 206 arsonists." Another math problem alluded to cooking people in ovens and one cast blood thirsty aliens into the equation.
- "Cone of Shame" - Science teacher Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp was suspended without pay last May when parents discovered photos of students wearing a dog cone in class, NBC Miami reported. Bailey-Cutkomp, 47, used the cone to punish students for texting, talking or eating in class and dubbed the object the "Cone of Shame." Students insisted that it was a joke, but parents were not laughing. "I don't care if it's a joke or not, it's unacceptable," parent Dawn Davis told WPTV.

Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla created four minutes of music that makes you forget everything. Perfectly titled, Oblivion is a small but intense chamber piece.
At Friday nights opening concert of the Durango Chamber Music Festival, the Red Shoe Piano Trio mesmerized the audience with a sympathetic rendering of this beautiful, melancholic work.
Now in its fourth iteration, the festival contrasts mightily with the annual Bach Festival held at St. Marks every March. Reason and emotion. Stately structures of sound and tumbling rivers of feeling.
Fridays concert consisted mainly of contemporary music with only one selection from the 19th century; Chopins stately Largo from the Cello Sonata in G minor, performed by Katherine Jetter and Lisa Campi Walters.
The evening began with Francis Poulencs Sonata for Flute and Piano. Performed by the petite musical twins Kathryn Shaffer and Kristen Chen, the French composers lush sound filled St. Marks sanctuary. The cascading themes of the first movement spilled over sonic cliffs, and the slow Cantilena felt like a dream. The second movement contrasted mightily with a very fast, virtuosic Presto.
Chopins Largo followed. Jetter and Campi-Walters performed the very short work by not letting the tempo stray from its expansive illusion of eternal time. Then Jetter announced the addition of Debussys Sonata for Cello and Piano.
It had not been included in the program and is a major work from the composers final years. At the end, Debussy suffered from colon cancer and planned a series of six sonatas for different instruments. He completed only three, the first being for cello.
The Prologue opened with a strong fanfare in the piano after which the cello entered. Jetter wove serpentine lines over blocky, chime-like chords in the piano through a slow section. The Serenade seemed a long and lovely ramble with odd diversions into faster tempi. The final movement daringly set a chase with strong pizzacati in both cello and piano plus a number of extended techniques distinctly a 20th century work. A few problems with intonation surfaced along the way, but the net effect was strong and singular.
The clarinet-piano duo, Mark Walters and his wife Campi-Walters, performed Bartoks seven Romanian Dances. Based on folk tunes, the relatively simple, straight-forward structure ranged from various minor key slow dances to a very fast polka filled with energizing offbeats.
And the Red Shoe Trio with Campi-Walters, Jetter, and violinist Nathan Lambert closed the evening with the music of Piazzolla. The sweet melancholy of Oblivion gave way to a dramatic work titled La Muerte Del Angel. With its theme of an angel returning to earth only to face a violent end, the work was full of sonic spikes and high energy.

At The College of St. Scholastica (CSS), we believe that equity and inclusion are key ingredients to academic excellence and the success of all our students. Our Catholic Benedictine heritage, grounded in Catholic social teaching, informs this vision.
Research has proven that a demographically diverse student body deeply benefits all students. Through exposure to a range of cultures and perspectives, our students build the cultural fluency they need to need to live, work and excel among people from varying groups within the United States and globally. For CSS, inclusive excellence goes beyond accepting differences; our goal is to actively cultivate a campus environment where students, faculty and staff of every background and experience can thrive. At minimum, this means respecting all regardless of race, ethnicity, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities/qualities, religion, nationality, or any other difference.
Yet inclusion is about more than lists and numbers. To achieve true academic excellence, CSS promotes a rigorous search for knowledge that welcomes complexity and new ways of thinking. We embrace divergent views and dissent within the context of community seeking social justice. Such diversity in learning is also a key component to our students' success.
CSS has engaged in deliberate strategies for the past decade to infuse equity and inclusion throughout our community. We have learned that it requires a sustained and multi-pronged effort; that to "add diversity, and stir" is not the solution. Our goal is to transform our college into a space that equally honors and values all individuals and groups.
View the Statement on Inclusive Excellence.
View the Inclusive Excellence Strategic Plan Summary.
To fulfill this vision, we draw on 100-year history of inclusive innovation. As a college founded for women even before women had the right to vote, we continue to espouse core values that inform our goal of being more equitable and pluralistic: these values are Community, Hospitality, Respect, Stewardship and Love of Learning. This rich heritage positions us to lead as an institution where every member of our community experiences both learning through diversity and diversity in learning. For our Catholic Benedictine institution, inclusive excellence is not just an idea — it's a moral and ethical imperative.
Welcome鸿运彩票下载网址 to the St. Scholastica Office of Diversity and Inclusion. With an increasingly diverse campus community we have expanded our advocacy program — you鸿运彩票下载网址 can find us on the second floor of Tower Hall.
We aim to serve the entire campus community, with the goal of continuously fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

East Timor bugging case goes to court
Lawyers for the spy-turned-whistleblower who revealed Australia bugged East Timor's cabinet rooms have argued the case should be heard before an open court.
The case of Canberra lawyer Bernard Collaery and his client, known only as Witness K, made its first appearance in court late on Wednesday afternoon.
The pair weren't present in the ACT Magistrates Court for the brief mention as the case was adjourned until October 29.
The small courtroom was filled with ardent supporters of the pair, as people sat on the floor and stood up.
Lawyers for Witness K said it was in the best interests for all involved to remain anonymous.
Earlier, protesters rallied out the front of the court to call for the criminal charges of conspiring to communicate secret information to be dropped.
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie, who has been vocal about the prosecution being an "act of political bastardry", was joined by Centre Alliance MP Rebekha Sharkie and Greens senator Nick McKim for the demonstration.
Witness K, a former Australian Secret Intelligence Service agent, was a key witness for East Timor in a case against Australia over allegations Dili's cabinet rooms were bugged during negotiations over a gas and oil treaty in 2004.
The person was supposed to give evidence at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague but was unable to leave Australia because his passport was seized in 2012.
East Timor dropped the spy case against Australia last year as an act of goodwill before signing a new resources treaty.

Firm foundations: No unique style at VMDO
While Bicentennial patriotism was saturating America (and particularly Mr. Jefferson's town) in 1976, an avowed Modernist architect and three of his students were trying something different. The very first commission for the young architectural firm was the Rorer Residence, a vision in white-on-white Bauhaus style. It stayed a vision.
"Charlottesville was a sleepier place," says designer David Oakland. "It would have been a cutting edge building in Ednam Forest, but, being a student," recalls Oakland, "I didn't even know what Ednam Forest was."
But folks in Ednam probably know his firm's work. Since that initial disappointment, VMDO has avoided taking commissions from developers and other speculators, sticking largely with schools and colleges. That strategy has enabled VMDO to get things done– lots of things– to the point that the firm has built nearly a billion dollars worth of buildings, including new student centers at W&L and UVA-Wise.
Closer to home, VMDO designed the recent Scott Stadium renovations and the Jones Arena going up on Emmet Street.
Now, the guys are getting a pat on the back from the Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects: It named VMDO firm of the year.
That's a good thing, as not all the firm's work has met with favor. In his Guide to Virginia Architecture, UVA architectural historian Richard Guy Wilson brands Oakland's opus– late-1980s Lewis & Clark Square office/condo– "awkward" and "post-modern." On the other hand, Wilson calls another VMDO project, Scottsville Elementary School, "an eye-catching civic presence."
Oakland and Bob Moje are now just two of eight principals, but because they provided the "O" and the "M" in a firm name that rolls off the tongue, they hold a special place in local lore. Moje in particular.
In late 2001, he stumbled into the Dave Matthews Band's Everyday video, in which he declines a hug from a chubby street person. Moje went unacknowledged until VH1 dissected the song on Pop Up Video and put a "jackass" bubble over the busy architect's head.
If forced to pick his own favorite project, Moje quickly names Manassas Park High School, which he credits with raising test scores and transforming a town.
"It's a symbol of what I've tried to do my whole career here: to make a difference in students' and teachers' lives," he says.
"There's definitely not a VMDO style," says Oakland, "and that's something that's been important to us since the beginning."
If it weren't for McDonough + Partners, an imported-from-NYC firm that's the darling of green-leaning corporate America, VMDO– with 35 employees– would be the biggest firm in town.
In keeping with their hometown vibe, VMDO architects eschew the all-black sartorial affectations of some big city types and the pretentious cape of a latter-day Frank Lloyd Wright.
"I don't think we have a lot of those," says VMDO marketing coordinator Jennifer Pullinger, "but we have a lot of sweater-vests."

On Sunday April 6, 2014 in the heart of Woodlandhills 6100 Topanga Canyon Blvd. some of the most exotic cars I have ever seen including the BATMAN MOBILE drove right past me.
It's no secret that I enjoy red carpet celebrity events, fashion week, charities (especially for Kids), being a girly girl and all things bling. However, here's a newsflash... Ialso dig hot cars! REALLY HOT CARS. And for everybody ELSE who digs hot cars, SUPERCAR SUNDAY held weekly at the Westfield Mall Parking Lot adjacent to Macy's in Woodland Hills is something YOU GOTTA SEE TO BELIEVE!
MY own personal automotive awakening and Baptism by Lamborghini happened just this past Sunday. It was quite the experience. To say there was a wide array of exotic automobiles would be to say those who drive a PRIUS at 55 MPH in the car pool lane of the 405 have the same enthusiasm for motorsports as someone who rocks a 355 Spyder. NOT BLOODY LIKELY. Being a Ferrari girl myself, (Black, not red, please) this particular SUPERCAR SUNDAY was ALL LAMBO, ALL the time, but if you looked closely, ALL FAITHS are represented... From Detroit Muscle, to ITALIANO & European Dream Cars.
Luckily, I ran into a who's who of automotive elite on this particular Sunday Morning. THE go to exotic car garage in the city for Ferrari's Lamborghini's, Maserati's and all things incredibly expensive, Franco's European Sports Car's Damian Barbuscia was there with fiancée Adriana and their new puppy. The little dog seemed to really enjoy riding in the STUNNING White Diablo in which Damian was cruising with his posse.
While chatting up the shop, the executive Producer of Damiano and father Franco's soon-to-be debuted unscripted/reality television show (the title is still under wraps) dropped by and showed me a sneak preview of their new series. The Hands On Productions' produced project is a hit! Sicilian Father Franco and son Damian rock the supercar world in their Van Nuys, CA shop with high profile celebs - sometimes they get stuck with the tab. It's crazy and creative. Watch for it on your TV screen, soon.
Other's who were kind enough to show me the ropes included automotive photographer Jason Mordoh of Mordoh Photographics who was there with son Jake, who looked sharp in his Captain America 3D shades! And I learned so much... about exotic sports cars AND the film business. For instance, if you need a "hero car" for your television show or feature film, apparently you simply call Phil Fiori from Picture Car Warehouse. Who Knew?
The Auto Gallery's Louise always keeps things on track. This week being Lamborghini weekend, the Auto Gallery hosted one of their infamous runs from Woodland Hills, over Mulholland, through Malibu and finishing at the Petersen Auto Museum. How many speeding tickets were issued? I'm not sure. They always keep that a secret!
So the Shooter Diva had an amazing Supercar Sunday. But you have to get up early if you want to enjoy the ROAR of these sick sledz. And bring a hot ride of your own... or just take in the scenery. You'll enjoy every minute of it.

SUNY Canton Students Raise Awareness about Human Trafficking
A SUNY Canton student club is holding a series of activities to protest the injustice of human trafficking, including a silent march and a presentation by a former child soldier and Lost Boy of Sudan.
The College's International Student Activist Organization (ISAO) will be holding a 27-minute march from at Noon on Tuesday, April 2, beginning at the post office in Downtown Canton. The March will conclude at SUNY Canton. Students said the 27-timeframe represented the estimated 27 million individuals illegally trafficked annually.
The organization is also bringing Gabriel Bol Deng, the founder of HOPE for Ariang, a not-for-profit foundation, to the College. There will be a screening of Deng's documentary "Rebuilding Hope" at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, in SUNY Canton's Kingston Theater, followed by a presentation by the former child soldier.
"The ISAO was founded last year as a student club," said Sabel Bong, the club's advisor and an EOP counselor at the College. "The club members invited Gabriel because child soldiers are another form of human trafficking. He delivers a very positive message about overcoming all odds."
Deng was 10 years old when a North Sudanese Murahileen militia led an attack on his village of Ariang in South Sudan in 1987. He embarked on a dangerous four-month long journey, crossing the Nile River, and untold miles of desert. He survived famine and disease during his perilous journey to a refugee camp in Ethiopia.
Deng moved to Syracuse in 2001 as part of the Refugee Resettlement Program and attended Onondaga Community College and Lemoyne College. Upon returning to Africa, he founded the HOPE for Ariang Foundation as a vehicle to help rebuild Ariang after years of devastating conflict.
All events during the Human Trafficking Awareness week are free and open to the public.
Events listed for Human Trafficking Awareness Week
Presentations on Monday, April 1:
- Human trafficking in Canada at 6 p.m.

Did you all see loudQUIETloud, the Pixies documentary? Frank Black, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Lovering seemed mostly sad and disconnected from one another. But they still roll out those old Pixies hits. A bajillion people are ready to dump 30 or 40 nostalgic dollars out of their wallets to see them do it.
Suck on those sour grapes, 505ers as the Pixies travel from Austin, Texas, to Mesa, Az., without a stop in our fair state. For ambitious road-trippers, remember: Austin is 12 or 13 hours away, and Mesa's only seven. But Mesa's in, you know, Arizona.

Then we figure out how to adopt it to application. The trick is how to get contents of an application without extra repaints. In Qt the contents of top-level's is buffered and there is a private but exported way of fetching that contents (not fully platform independent at the moment). The example #2 shows how to grab the contents of the window without extra repaints and copies and use it to implement the effect, so it looks like this:
The forms were taken from Kate config dialogs so they're real config pages (hence also why they're, well, not too pretty). The effect is fully animated so to get a better idea of how it looks you'll have to look at the ogg file provided here. It's also worth noting that this effect is very efficient and works smoothly with virtually 0 cpu usage.
As mentioned in the last blog, to see more examples and code for this one visit Graphics Dojo. The above mentioned examples are at the examples 2 page.

the folder example doesn't compile!

yeah, it does, but like i said it depends on private (but exported) class in Qt. Which one should be very clear from the error message.
- April 8, 2007 at 5:25 PM
You need to install the Qt sources, compile them in place (don't rely on installed headers), and then compile the example using that Qt install to make it work... iow, it doesn't compile out of the box, since Qt doesn't install private headers, or support using them. :-)
Zack: Cool effect :-).

Zack, it seems what we really want is a 'Tween engine, like in flash. If we were to amass a library of tweens (like page flip, fade, rotate, scale), and a widget to operate on, I think we'd be in excellent shape.
Tweens work basically by identifying a property (of a specific widget) to operate on and a begin state (or current) and an end state. Then this is linearly interpolated between start and end over the duration.
The only thing that is left is a time line where tweens are scheduled to start at a time, or upon some signal (i.e. click event)
A scale event (both H and W) would be two tweens who start (and end) at the same time. Any numeric value can be tweened. (A few non-numeric values can be tweened, but such is not often used.)

it's pretty cool effect, but the fold should be mirrored, no?

Crystallization(redirected from crystallize)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
The act of selling an asset and immediately buying the same asset back. One does this for tax purposes; that is, one sells the asset in order to realize a capital loss, but buys it back because one believes it still represents a solid investment. Most tax agencies have rules forbidding or limiting crystallization.

The video shows the Dragon/Alien (representing "2012: Year of the Dragon" starting Jan 23) as being born from John Hurt (born Jan 22).
This is match cut with Paul Scofield (born Jan 21) looking at the "chain of office" around Hurt's neck in A Man for All Seasons.
This highlighting of the Red Dragon over Hurt's heart echos his later role in Alien where the bloody alien ("the dragon" as we learn in Alien 3) exits the same spot.
Hurt's character is wearing this "chain of office" as he has been appointed the Attorney General of Wales.
Wales' symbol is the Dragon, the animal associated to 2012 via the Chinese zodiac cycle. This 12 year cycle originates from tracking the orbit of Jupiter.
"The system of the twelve-year cycle of animal signs was built from observations of the orbit of Jupiter (the Year Star; simplified Chinese: 岁星; traditional Chinese: 歳星; pinyin: Suìxīng). Following the orbit of Jupiter around the sun, Chinese astronomers divided the celestial circle into 12 sections, and rounded it to 12 years (from 11.86)." Wiki Chinese astrology
This Friday, Feb 3, sees the release of Big Miracle starring Drew Barrymore interacting with whales.
Wales associates with the Dragon & sounds like Whales thus the Whale resonates the Dragon. The Chinese Zodiac & animal further has a specific element associated to each year and 2012 is the Water Dragon.
I trust these kinds of associations found via sync but we can check the unbiased mind of God itself, associating free from human conditioning, to verify. I like using cinema and seeing if connections like Whale=Dragon are made unconsciously in movies. The stars guide.
We see Josh Hartnett strange attracts the Dragon above in August and below in Wicker Park.
Does Hatnett associate with the Whale also, to help us see the unbiased self organization process of the universe agreeing with our sync?
Totally, as seen in his film Mozart & the Whale and even further (as is generally the case) the associated context "Mozart" is also 'sync'ificant.
Last week Friday, as a Gang of Wolves started hunting Liam Neeson in The Grey, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had his birthday.
For a laugh I Googled "Whale Dragon", the universe called my bluff and then some, spitting back the film "Age of Dragons" as one of the top hits.
Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick, is recreated in a world where Captain Ahab and his crew search for a Great White Dragon. IMDB Age of the Dragons.
We have been entraining with Danny Glover allot lately. He is the president from 2012 and a synchronicity expert in Touch. Now we learn he is also the big white whale/dragon hunter Ahab in Age of Dragons.
Big Miracle. You bet!
Sir Richard:
Josh 'Whale' Hartnett and Scarlett 'Dragon' Johansson both starred together in The Black Dahlia.
Sign a song of six-pence, a pocket full of rye
4 and 20 black birds baked in a Pi....
John 'The Raven' Cusack entrains with the Year of the Dragon due to his starring role in the movie 2012.
Brandon 'The Crow' Lee (born February 1st) entrains with the Year of the Dragon via his father Bruce 'Enter the Dragon' Lee.
The Fire Dragon (Father) and Black Bird (Son) seem to sit well together.
The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo remake and was pleased to notice that the trippy intro sequence features the flaming Crow/Raven and Dragon.
Actress Rooney Mara played the latest incarnation of the Dragon Girl.
Actress Noomi Rapace (seen below) starred in the original Swedish version.
I've come to interpret the Dragon as a symbol for 'Coming Home'.
Or the 2012 'Holme Coming'.
'Dragon Girl' Noomi Rapace starred in the latest Sherlock movie so it makes sync-sense that Sherlock himself should be something of a 'Dragon Boy'.
Benedict Cumberbatch starred as Sherlock in the british TV show of the same name.
He's also the voice of Smaug the DRAGON and The neCROWancer in 2012 movie The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
He's also the voice of Smaug the DRAGON and The neCROWancer in 2012 movie The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
In Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy actor Benedict (whose name means "Blessed") plays the role of Gary Oldman's right-hand man. In the movie he seems to be the only one that Oldman truly trusts.
Gary Oldman starred in Tinker Tailor Soldier SPY and he also voiced a Dragon named Ignitus in a video game called SPYro.
Oldman's Ignitus happens to be a Red Dragon.
Dragons and Crows.
Crows and Dragons.
In Bram Stokers Dracula blood-sucker Gary Oldman wears Red armor and in the movies intro sequence we see that his symbol is that of the fire-breathing Dragon.
The London Olympic Games take place in July-August this year and I like how this entrains with another 'Games' movie due out March 23rd.
The London Olympic Games take place in July-August this year and I like how this entrains with another 'Games' movie due out March 23rd.
The Hunger Games stars actress Jennifer Lawrence.
In the movie Lawrence's character proves to be gifted with the bow and arrow, making her the latest hollywood incarnation of 'Robin Hood' (albeit a more attractive one!).
Robin was of course played by actor Russell CROWe.
X-Men: First Class movie and again her character entrains with the Black Bird.
The Burning Plain which brings us back to.....well you probably guessed it already.
In the above poster we see a Crow (Burning Plane?) flying towards Twin Pillars while the angel of death steps forth. Makes me wonder if 2012 is going to deliver another consciousness-altering event which will rival that of 9/11.
We have been syncing with Pi. Have stumbled May 12 a few times lately as its Birthday Star list (above) seems extremely dense and very attractive. Jason Biggs was one of the connections that stood out as he is in American Pie.
Shortly after this May 12 highlight it came up again as the date Michael Biehne (as Kyle Reese) arrives on after time traveling from the future in The Terminator.
That same week I watch The Bridge on the River Kwai where a key plot point is finishing construction of said bridge on May 12.
Emilio Estevez's Birthday is one of the May 12 stars. Samuel L. Jackson is born on the December 21 solstice associated to the Mayan calendar end and galactic alignment. This makes the Loaded Weapon poster fascinating when we start looking at it through the lens of sync.
Estevez and Jackson are parodying Mel Gibson and Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon.
Gibson associates perfectly by being the creator of Apocalypto with its Mayan theme as does Glover in 2012.
Dec 21 Sam Jackson being 2012 Dan Glover....

Which website creation/hosting providers have beautiful set-up experiences?
Which website creation/hosting providers have beautiful set-up experiences?
@scottjenson @chrismessina @ade_oshineye technically lockerproject looks more like PESOS. Also re: ID stuff, you've seen indieauth.com right? Lots of shiny new stuff there recently like persona integration, passwordless SMS login etc.
The first is to publicly declare the jurisdiction in which you live, and in which your data is hosted. That way, people can make an informed decision about how to communicate with you.
That's a really brilliant idea. Maybe link the brand names to their tosdr.org pages too. #takeaction
I just faked having a task queue for #taproot #indieweb note posting tasks using Symfony
HttpKernel::terminate() and it was the easiest thing ever.
Instances or subclasses of
HttpKernel have a
terminate($request, $response) method which, if called in the front controller after
$response->send(); triggers a
kernel.terminate event on the app's event dispatcher. Listeners attached to this event carry out their work after the content has been sent to the client, making it the perfect place to put time-consuming things like POSSE and webmention sending.
Once you've created your new content and it's ready to be sent to the client, create a new closure which carries out all the the time consuming stuff and attach it as a listener to your event dispatcher, like this:
$dispatcher->addListener('kernel.terminate', function() use ($note) {
$note = sendPosse($note);
Then, provided you're calling
$kernel->terminate($req, $res); in index.php, your callback will get executed after the response has been sent to the client.
If you're not using HttpKernel and HttpFoundation, the exact same behaviour can of course be carried out in pure PHP — just let the client know you've finished sending content and execute code after that. Check out these resources to learn more about how to do this:
HttpFoundation\Request::send() as a sample implementation
Further ideas: if the time consuming tasks alter the content which will be shown in any way, set a header or something to let the client side know that async stuff is happening. It could then re-fetch the content after a few seconds and update it.
Sure, this isn't as elegant as a message queue. But as I showed, it's super easy and portable, requiring the addition of three or four lines of code.
@benwerd nice one! I'm currently working on video post-by-email. It almost worked here, next time should work flawlessly.
The nice thing about using email to post videos is that it's asyncronous — I can send the email and then go do something else, instead of having to either wait for it to upload or do the "if I switch apps now will it stop uploading argh what do I do" dance.
Testing posting #indieweb videos via email and the iOS camera app:
Aral Balkan there's been a lot of discussion recently about deletion of #indieweb content — some documented here: indiewebcamp.com/deleted and indiewebcamp.com/POSSE#Delete
E.G. if I've replied to one of your notes/tweets and stored a reply context so even if your copy goes down my content still makes sense, but you delete the original — should I delete it, devaluing my own content? Should I mark it as changed or deleted?
The webaction toolbelt can also do select-to-quote:
Previously: Quoting UI #indieweb #webactions
Taking distributed #indieweb actions on your own site, in context? Yes, webaction toolbelt does that:
To clarify, this is a page on news.indiewebcamp.com which supports inline webactions. When I click "Reply", a pre-populated new note form from my own site is loaded into an iframe. It detects this, and adjusts its styling accordingly.
The #indieweb is a social network that works like the web
s/works like/is
Great work getting webmention set up and your content marked up with microformats!
At the moment of the method is built around a POSSE architecture. This works well for long form articles which can stand alone but address issues or ideas that are posted on an external website.
The evidence is against you here, as almost all known usage of webmention has been for short replies which don't make sense without context.
But if that is all there is to webmentions it is just a nicer implementation of Pingback.
Pingback succeeded because it was simple. Webmention is even simpler, for good reason.
However the current workflow is awkward and i doubt it will catch on with the general public. Sophisticated Indieweb users can and will read an article on an external site and then return to their own to post a comment, but that king of behaviour is not intuitive.
I absolutely agree! I'm trying various different approaches to making this easier (and making web content more actionable in general), currently I'm using web action toolbelt to really quickly reply to content on other sites. There's been a lot of discussion about this, and it's something which everyone can work on as more people start implementing indieweb comments.
I make the comment on the external site and as part of making the comment I add my author url, that being the url of my own site. The external site then sends a webmention of the comment to my site. My own site could then scrapes my comment and saves a copy in my CMS. Otionall I could republish the comment in my blog or activity feed at my discretion. Thus fully implementing PESOS.
We actually discussed this exact flow at IWCUK 2012, but no-one ever implemented it because, with browser extensions, there's no need to log in to other people's sites (complex to implement) and have those sites post to each other (security hole).
Thanks for bringing these issues up, it's great to have new people join the discussion! I'll start documenting your points on the Indiewebcamp wiki — it's there and on the #indiewebcamp IRC room where most discussion takes place.
"For a platform to be reliable, it must either have a single implementation, or be so utterly simple that it can be implemented uniformly. If we assume a practical need for open, freely implementable standards, the only option is simplicity."
@jihaisse congratulations on getting #POSSE and #indiecomments working!
So I got in-stream reply contexts showing — perhaps summaries of #indieweb comments next? I like Facebook's approach of showing the last 4, a total count and a "show me more" button, which could be implemented simply as a link to the note page initially.
Reply context stream example: http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes?tagged=reply
Still TODO: make the ↪ a link to the in-replied-to page, add the datetime to the title for that link, remove the in-reply-to info from the bottom of in-stream notes as it's noise now
Glenn Jones yay! Looking forward to exchanging mentions :) #indieweb
Wey-hey! First #indieweb route published, if a little slow (the GeoJSON is not very optimised and served within the HTML, which is ugly). Now off for a walk/jog for further testing.
@willnorris really? The timestamp I have stored matches the one on your site — maybe the relative time is being calculated for the wrong timezone! Nice job getting #indieweb comments working by the way! Any plans to accept them too?
There is value to seemingly insignificant atoms of personal content (e.g. the stereotypical what I'm eating/doing/feeling right now) — providing context for more significant pieces of content; self reflection and the creation of new content molecules
