Miguel Littín, born in Chile to a Palestinian father and Greek mother, was a famed filmmaker appointed in 1970 by President Salavdor Allende as the head of Chile Films, "through (and against) which Chilean filmmakers sought to implement their theories of 'popular culture/popular power' by developing new production and distribution methods." Three years later, General Augusto Pinochet's military coup overthrew Allende's Popular Unity government and transformed Chile from a progressive democracy into a dictatorship. Littín escaped mass execution only through the serendipitous whim of a film-loving sergeant.
Twelve years later, Littín's name remained on a list of five thousand exiles absolutely forbidden to return to their homeland. He had settled with his family in Spain when he casually mentioned a dream of his to slip back into Chile and film a documentary about the underground resistance movement. More fundamentally, Littín longed to see his country again. It seemed no more than conversational brainstorming around the dinner table with friends until Italian director Luciano Balducci pulled him aside and told him that the "man you need," a high-ranking member of the Chilean opposition, was "waiting in Paris." After several months of adapting to his new identity as a bland, bourgeoisie Uruguayan businessman - a transformation that included weight loss, accent coaches, psychologists, and living for a time with his "wife" - Littín finally set off for Chile in May 1985 with three independent international film crews, each unaware of the existence of the other two.
"Early in 1986 in Madrid, when Miguel Littín told me what he had done and how he had done it, I realized that behind his film there was another film that would probably never be made," says Gabriel García Márquez in his introduction to Clandestine in Chile, the result of some eighteen hours of "interrogation" that "encompassed the full human adventure in all its professional and political implications, which I have condensed into ten chapters." Although the text itself is ultimately García Márquez's, he sought to preserve Littín's voice by utilizing the first person, employing Chilean idioms, and respecting Littín's opinions and thought processes even when they differed from his own. La adventura de Miguel Littín, clandestino en Chile was translated from Spanish by Asa Zatz.
Some of the historical and political background will already be familiar to anyone who has read the novels of Isabel Allende (herself a Chilean exile), such as The House of the Spirits, Of Love and Shadows, and the Eva Luna books. To begin with, there is the immense popular appeal of Isabel's uncle Salvador that unnerved the old aristocratic order and inspired their support of Pinochet's junta (portrayed by Isabel as Esteban Trueba's greatest and most tragic error), as well as the literary cult surrounding the late Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda ("The Poet" in The House of Spirits), a Marxist who saw his hopes crushed on his deathbed in 1973. And it is hard not to hear Irene Beltran's lament for her lost country in Littín's many moments of nostalgia.
It is Littín's memories of old Chile that give Clandestine in Chile an oddly dreamlike feel, accentuated by its short length of only 116 pages. What is familiar is often friendly, especially when associated with one's happy childhood. But the juxtaposition of nostalgia against the threatening and unaccustomed aspects of a dictatorship, particularly the megalomaniacal attempts to alter the past (for example, removing the chronologically-ordered busts of presidents from the Palace Moneda to avoid having to include Allende), recalls Louis Breton's definition of Surrealism as two distinct realities welded together to form an uncanny union. Furthermore, Littín is literally, at the moment, not himself, having returned to his homeland after a period of years under a new identity that includes a new past in a foreign country. To complete the facade he has had to memorize the Montevideo buslines and have at hand several anecdotes about his classmates at High School No. 11, "two blocks from a well-known drugstore and one block from a recently opened supermarket." It is doubtful that Littín has ever actually been to Uruguay.
Chile now has its own masks as well: Santiago is a clean, orderly, ultra-modern capital designed to distract foreigners from the worsening conditions of the poor and the general discontent with the harsh government. At curfew everything shuts down and the silence of the big city is unnatural. Fear is always present: of the carabineros in streets, of the police checkpoints, and most of all, of being found out and the prospect of sharing the fate of Isabel's fictional Alba Satigny. Miguel Littín's response is to border on recklessness. He forgets his Uruguayan accent, uses old Chilean words, doesn't think before acting, loses some of his disguise, and refuses to leave even as the police close in.
But he did escape, just in time. The 105,000 feet of film shot by the three crews became the documentary Acta General de Chile, winner of several international awards that intensified global pressure on the Pinochet regime. Miguel Littín has since returned to Chile, where Augusto Pinochet died in 2006 at age 91 without ever having been convicted of single crime. Littín's most recent films have focused on the Palestinian diaspora. But the events recounted by Gabriel García Márquez in Clandestine in Chile may well have been his greatest and most dangerous adventure.

Predators top Kings 2-1 in shootoutby Curtis Zupke
LOS ANGELES – No overwhelming sense of relief permeated the Nashville Predators locker room. Perhaps the weariness of a monster road trip is draining these games into a blur.
But the sublimely succinct coach Barry Trotz nailed it after his team pulled out a 2-1 shootout victory against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
"I think we would have been mentally scarred if we wouldn't have won that," Trotz said.
Sergei Kostitsyn scored in the eighth round of the tiebreaker and the Predators prevailed in a game in which they had only 11 shots on goal in regulation. Kostitsyn wristed a shot past Jonathan Quick to give Pekka Rinne his first victory this season -- capping a tiebreaker that saw seven of 16 shooters score against two of last season's Vezina Trophy finalists.
Rinne withstood a final-minute barrage in regulation, and Quick held off some prime chances by Nashville in the last 90 seconds of overtime.
Rinne's exhausted face said it all after he walked into the locker room with his pads and skates on, his face still gleaming with sweat after his first shootout win in four tries this season. He is 1-2-3.
"It was a tough shootout," Rinne said. "It was long, but finally we got the win ... I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself. This is my first win of the season and obviously already we've played six games.
"We've been on the road for a week and a half now. It's been a long one .. you have to feel good about yourself after tonight's game, for sure. It was big points for us. It's been a tough go for us, and hopefully things turnaround for us here."
Ranked last in the NHL in shots per game, Nashville put one shot on goal in a span of more than 29 minutes from the first period to the second. The Predators did not record a shot in the final 16 minutes of the opening period and bookended the first and third periods with three shots each.
The 11 shots were the second-fewest allowed in regulation in Kings history. The Predators did limit L.A. to 22 shots in 65 minutes and blocked 24 more. But the pattern cannot be ignored for Nashville, which managed only 13 shots in a 4-0 loss at St. Louis a week earlier.
"It is troubling a little bit," Trotz said. "Hopefully we're sort of working our way down the ice -- getting in the defensive zone, the neutral zone. Hopefully things will come in the offensive zone. When we do get some good looks, we tend to pass up or get a block. We just got to get better there. It will come."
Dustin Brown tied it 1-1 on his first goal of the season at 13:08 during a 4-on-3 advantage. Drew Doughty ripped a shot high off the glass and the rebound fell in the slot to an untouched Brown. L.A. was previously 1 for 28 on the power play.
That would be all the offense Kings managed in 65 minutes despite an active game by Jeff Carter, who directed 12 shots at goal and put five on net.
It's a familiar theme for L.A., which could not give Quick enough goal support last season even after coach Darryl Sutter arrived and finished 29th in scoring.
"I'd like to score more than one goal," Sutter said. "You have to bear down on the opportunities. The ones you get, you don't get too many ... it just comes down details. They scored off a faceoff goal. Other than that they probably only had three or four opportunities to score. We probably had 10. We're still not getting that goal or the players that we need to count on to score the goal."
The mid-game lull by Nashville came after it grabbed a 1-0 lead just 58 seconds into the game. Brandon Yip roofed a wrist shot off a faceoff after David Legwand got the draw to Gabriel Bourque and made the pass to Yip at the top of the right circle.
Trotz paired Shea Weber with Scott Hannan for the first time this season but Hannan watched much of the early going from the penalty box after two tripping and interference calls, and Weber rejoined usual defense partner Roman Josi.
The Kings didn't fully seize the opportunity, though, and let the goal-challenged Predators hang around with a 1-1 score going into the third period. L.A.'s best chance in the second came on Justin Williams' redirection of Slava Voynov's shot that slid just left of the goal, while Nashville's Matt Halischuk had a shot at a wide-open net blocked by a sliding Jake Muzzin in the third.
"We weren't good at finishing and getting into the scoring areas more," Kings center Jarret Stoll said. "There was a lot of shots blocked and a lot of shots from the outside. We were okay at spurts. We just didn't generate enough -- didn't get in those hard areas and get enough traffic in front of Pekka. We just have to push through."

We know this portrait was photographed at the Dana Studio on the S.W. Corner of Broadway and 28th Street in the Big Apple because of the photographers stamp on the back of the image. Dana apparently photographed many actors in his day and I wonder if this distinguished gentleman might be in some way linked to the theatre business.
There is an inscription on the back. I believe it reads, "Max Heber Heckman," but I'm not totally convinced of that. There are quite a number of Max Heckmans in New York. But, with New York being New York, there is absolutely no certainty that Mr. Heckman was even from New York. This image is dated 1897.
Here is the inscription. Do you read it differently?

Nokia is dealing with the upcoming loss of the man who headed up the mobile phone maker's imaging division just after the launch of its new Windows Phone 8 devices. Damian Dinning, who was the lead program manager for Imaging Experience at Nokia, will depart the company on November 30. Denning joined Nokia in 2004.
In a statement to Amateur Photographer, Nokia said simply that Denning made a "personal decision" to leave the company. It added, "During the past nine years, [Damian] has made many innovative and valuable contributions to Nokia, most recently as a lead program manager in our Smart Devices business. We thank him for his service to the company and certainly wish him the best."
During his time at Nokia, Denning led the team that put in a 41-megapixel camera inside the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone. That same team was behind the Lumia 920's camera, which has a number of features that Nokia claims other smartphone cameras don't have.
In a recent post on his Twitter account, Denning didn't talk about his departure from Nokia directly but did hint that information about his next job will be announced on December 10.

|School Established in 1973
Taijiquan is the pinyin version of spelling T'ai Chi Ch'uan (which is also sometimes seen as tai chi chuan, taichichuan, tai chi, taichi, or taiji). Pinyin is the system adopted in 1979 for transliterating Chinese ideograms (characters) into the Roman alphabet (pinyin is the official system of romanization for China and became the United Nations Standard in 1977). For example, the old Wade-Giles system spells the capital of China as Peking, but using the newer pinyin system, Peking is now known as Beijing.
The special characteristics of true taijiquan are a tranquil mind and loosened joints, which allow the application of integrated supple strength directed by the waist and spiraled to the lower and upper limbs, as well as continuation of internal energy (qi) from movement to movement without interruption. These components of taijiquan are taught at the Tutelage (established in 1973) using the concrete and refined methods developed by the late Wu Ta-yeh. Some of the health benefits of taijiquan practice include improved balance, flexibility and strength while reducing stress.
Wu Ta-yeh

This means that (after learning the slow form) you could come and practice taijiquan 12 hours a week (50 hours a month) for the same $80/month tuition.
Advanced Instructions: Advanced methods are taught in loosening, pliability, supple strength, twisting strength, integrated strength, directing movements by the waist, methods of initiating movements of strength, continuity of energy flow, meditation, qigong, and self-defense implications of the postures.

How many cameras can I bring to Ecuador
Posted 03 February 2018 - 09:59 AM
Posted 03 February 2018 - 06:32 PM
I'm sorry but that just sounds absurd. Why would they limit the number of cameras you can bring? People go there with mountains of camera gear every day. I've been twice (albeit many years ago) and never heard of any limits. A quick Google turns up nothing.
International Galapagos Tour Operators Association "Essential Travel Info" (nothing about camera limits)
Galapagos National Park Rules:
All I see is no flash photography of wildlife, no drones. Commercial work requires a license.
Perhaps you're reading about customs regulations for locals not tourists? Like duty-free limits for locals?
Posted 03 February 2018 - 09:15 PM
My wife and I each have an I iphone- does that count as a camera? I suspect not, but it may depend on who is manning the customs booth at the time.
I agree that this sounds absurd and I have never run into this in quite a bit of international travel. But, if you spend several minutes on google with the right search words this issue will come up repeatedly.

Sounds like they consider more cameras/electronics/etc than specified to be likely to be sold for commercial purposes and want import tax paid on them. You can look at getting a carnet but these are expensive and painful for consumer levels of equipment. Even if they are "underwater photographer" consumer levels!
Ecuador is not the only country that has rules like this. Pretty much everywhere has limits on alcohol, tobacco, etc, and most places have limits on electronics and other valuables too. But you usually have to make Customs suspicious that you're running a sales business before you get stuck. They want evidence that everything you brought in will leave the country again when you leave.

Correspondence [series]
For an index of correspondents, see "Additional Descriptive Data" below.
Townshend Family Correspondence [subseries]Scope note: The Townshend Family subseries, spanning approximately 3 linear feet, is comprised of all letters to and from the members of the Townshend family, including spouses and in-laws, such as the Woods, the Wings, and the Boyntons. The correspondence of Margaret Wing Dodge, granddaughter of Norton S. Townshend, is part of the Townshend Family subseries. "Additional Descriptive Data" contains an index of major correspondents in each subseries. Arranged chronologically, the series sheds light on Norton Strange Townshend's political, educational, and agricultural activities, as well as his family and personal life. The earliest letters are between family members in Ohio and Northamptonshire and relate family news, religion, and daily life. Correspondence is relatively frequent during1839-1841, when Norton studied medicine in New York City and Europe, and wrote to his parents describing visits to European hospitals, impressions of Paris and London, and thoughts on his career. Joel and Rebecca's correspondence with their son is filled with religious and philosophical references and advice. Between 1848 and 1854 the period during which Townshend served in the Ohio General Assembly (1848-1849), the U.S. House of Representatives (1851-53), and the Ohio State Senate (1854-55), a great deal of incoming political correspondence addresses such issues as the "balance of power" deadlock upon which Townshend capitalized in Ohio, the debates over the boundaries of slavery, opinion on Ohio's Black Laws, and other political matters. Also important are Salmon P. Chase's letters to Townshend, which shed light on their political alliance and the slavery debate in the U.S. Senate. During Norton Strange Townshend's service as a medical inspector in the Civil War, 1863-1865 he and his wife Margaret exchanged over 100 letters on topics such as Townshend's work and travels, family news, and farm matters. Townshend also sometimes referenced Margaret's sister and her husband, Miriam and Thomas Easterly, who were living in St. Louis and struggling financially during the time that Townshend was stationed there. During this period, he also corresponded frequently with his son James, particularly concerning James' education and thoughts on church and religion. Three letters from his younger children, Arthur Bailey and Mary, also survived. In one letter, dated April 17, 1865, 10-year old Arthur reacts to the death of Lincoln and the attempted assassination of William H. Seward. Family correspondence trails off considerably after the war, although in the mid 1880s Townshend and James exchange a series of letters concerning James' declining health from tuberculosis.Margaret Wing's correspondence with her mother, Alice (Townshend) Wing is included in the Townshend family correspondence. Several dozen of Margaret's letters were written in 1909 during a tour of Europe. She described sightseeing, visiting art museums, and traveling by rail. Many of the 20th century letters in this subseries are from Margaret's friend from Vassar College, Elizabeth Schneider, a ghostwriter living in Boston. Schneider was particularly fond of sharing her opinions on books and plays. Other 20th-century letters are mainly to and from Townshend's children and grandchildren and shed some light on their relationships, travels, and careers.

Dodge Family Correspondence [subseries]Scope note: The Dodge Family subseries contains correspondence to and from the members of the Dodge family and ranges from 1838-1989 with the bulk of materials from the early 20th century. The earliest letters were written among the children of Thomas Dodge, a farmer in Massena, New York. Many were penned by Thomas Dodge, Jr., who moved to Indiana and described some difficulties of living on the frontier, such as finding a teacher for the schoolhouse and making ends meet. Later letters shed light on the courtship of Isabella Donaghue, who married Orange Dodge, and on the inter-faith marriage between Fletcher Dodge and his wife, Ray Cohen. Fletcher Dodge's letters in particular are frank and very interesting, describing ideas about work, monogamy, his family, fraternities, and many other topics.

Since Barack Obama and Raúl Castro shook hands at a summit in Panama, Cuba is getting ready for a new American invasion - a peaceful one this time. It won't be too long before the Caribbean island is flooded with American tourists. For now, Cuba is still a wonderful time capsule where progress seems to have stood still for half a century. Visit now, before it is too late.
Colourful colonial houses with peeling paint, shiny 1950s vintage cars held together by string, and old ladies who smoke cigars to the tune of swinging salsa music. These are the images that come to mind when we hear the name 'Cuba'. Since the resignation of Fidel Castro, his brother Raúl has introduced drastic economic reforms: he is reconnecting with modern times. Until the transition is complete, you can still enjoy the following 3 experiences in old Cuba.
International hotel chains such as the Hilton and the InterContinental are eager to return to Cuba, however since the Revolution all hotels have been government-owned. The flagship hotel is the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, a grand hotel from the glory days of Cuban tourism. This 5-star palace on the Malecón has provided luxury accommodations to Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner and Errol Flynn. Today the Hotel Nacional de Cuba exudes mostly faded glory, but travellers who appreciate nostalgia couldn't find a better hotel in Havana.
Modern Chinese cars have been introduced to the island since the recent reforms, but many Cadillacs, Buicks and Chevrolets from the 1950s still dominate the Cuban street scene. The American trade embargo prevented Cubans from buying new cars, and so they had to make do with whatever cars they had. They invested their blood, sweat and tears to keep the cars going. Near the Capitolio in Havana, you can rent a pink convertible for a handful of pesos - driver included - and tour the city in style.
Capitolio, Paseo del Prado, Havana
After Fidel Castro expelled all foreign companies during the Revolution, he missed his favourite treat: ice cream. That is why he commissioned the construction of a major ice cream factory near the airport. Castro built a park with a futuristic pavilion right in the heart of Havana that is home to the largest ice cream parlour in the world. Even though Coppelia seats a thousand visitors, people often line up for hours at the various entrances to grab a spot.

Staff writer
Peabody-Burns High School sophomore Austin Paquette turned the key to the 1990 Toyota pickup and listened to the engine wheeze and whine, stubborn in its refusal to turn over.
Two adjustments — give it a little more gas and hold the ignition a little longer. This time there was the familiar click before the motor roared to life. Paquette could not hide his jubilation, frantically high fiving as many people as he could find.
This moment was more than three years in the making. He was Dr. Frankenstein restoring to life something that was once dead.
"It's heart pounding," Paquette said. "It was a pain at first; I got frustrated a lot. "I can't wait to drive it."
Paquette, his dad Tony, and teacher, Matt Schroeder, were part of the team that fixed the truck. They replaced the engine, intake, and clutch. Plugs and wiring were redone. Through all of these major changes, Paquette said a major impediment was a malfunctioning power steering switch. All of that work instilled Paquette with a certain measure of pride.
"I'm not going to do something stupid in it," he said.
The victorious moment that occurred on Friday was what Schroeder and former USD 398 Superintendent Rex Watson intended at the automotive class inception.
The class was meant as an alternative option for students not accustomed to excellence in normal classroom environments.
"Not everyone learns the same," Schroeder said.
Among the 10 students in his last hour class, multiple students had complicated projects in various levels of production. Junior John Sutton swapped the V6 motor in one Ford Mustang for a V8 engine in another, replacing the transmission in the process. He was able to drive the newer V8 version to school on Thursday and Friday after finishing the project the week before.
Senior Joe Partridge was about midway through a front suspension swap for a '66 pickup truck. He was interchanging the stock setup for a Mustang suspension, a popular model for street rod enthusiasts. Partridge plans to attend McPherson College and pursue a career in auto restoration.
Schroeder used Partridge's project to illustrate the complexity of suspension geometry. It is imperative that students properly secure rods, parallel to each other in most places, and make sure the wheels are juxtaposed with the appropriate amount of width.
"Whenever I can get them to read a tape measure, I do it," Schroeder said. "If I can tell them why they have to have math here, they can relate it to what's going on at the other end of the building."
There are opportunities for lessons in almost any project. Freshman Connor Vancuren is rewiring his dune buggy. Schroeder used this project as an example for electrical work.
Many of those learning opportunities come from school owned vehicles — two '32 hot rods, a Harley motorcycle, and a '56 truck.
With the exception of the Harley, students have begun each project from the frame. With frame and bodywork, Schroeder has the opportunity to teach two crucial skills — welding and grinding.
He said a welder is the tool most often in a mechanic's hands after a wrench. In the front end of the '56 truck, he pointed out three bumpy veins where pieces had been welded together.
There are also simple jobs that will prepare students for most of the work they would provide as auto mechanics. Schroeder said his classes have performed 10 simple brake jobs since Christmas. They have repaired countless tires in that time.
The most important lessons are those the students learn themselves. Schroeder said his goal is to instruct but then allow students to do all of the work on their own, complete with a variety of mistakes and restarts.
"It's hard to turn them loose with a grinder because you can really mess things up with a grinder," Schroeder said.
Schroeder also knows from experience — sometimes you learn by biting off more than you can chew. He is hoping that will not happen with the school truck. He is determined to have it running by the last week of school.

Matt Drudge has obtained the text of Walter Mondale's first radio ad, which is just now hitting the airwaves. Mondale has lost no time in going negative; the ad attacks Norm Coleman for promoting free trade. The strange thing about this is that Mondale has spent most of the last eighteen years as a lawyer in private firms, specializing in international law. At Dorsey & Whitney, a Minneapolis law firm, his practice consisted largely of trying to facilitate international business transactions on behalf of American corporations. It is simply weird for him to morph suddenly into a protectionist. Nor does it seem like a particularly smart strategy. Talking about foreign steel competition may help shore up Mondale's base on the heavily-Democratic Iron Range, but Coleman wasn't going to get a lot of votes there anyway. On the other hand, the Americans most committed to free trade are farmers, who sell their grain everywhere–and need to, since they produce far more than Americans can consume. The biggest unknown in this race has always been how well Coleman will do in Minnesota's rural areas; there are lots of Republican-leaning voters there, but they haven't all jumped to support Coleman because of his urban background and image. Mondale's attacking free trade may help to cement Coleman's support among farmers and other residents of rural areas.

5 Ways To Help Your Kids Transition Back To School After A Long Grand Rapids Summer Break
I always enjoy watching Dr. Matthew Clark on Take Five & Company. He's a local psychologist with The Clark Institute right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His practice is primarily with young people and families. I invited him on today's show to talk about the stresses for the kids going back to school. Routines change, sleeping times will change, video computer time will change once they have to start doing homework and hitting the books. So how can you make the transition easy for you and the kids? Here's how....

You can now use IronMQ as a webhook endpoint to collect webhook events/messages from third parties. This new feature supports arbitrary HTTP POSTs to an IronMQ queue and it will store the body of the POST in your queue.
Now why would you want to do this? There's plenty of good reasons, here are a few:
- Ensure reliable delivery – if you need to ensure that you get each and every webhook message, you can use IronMQ to ensure that no message gets lost and you can guarantee that the message gets processed before it gets removed from the queue.
- Collect webhook events and deal with them later such as in a nightly batch run.
- Use multiple queues to collect messages for different processes/systems.
- Don't worry about your service getting bombarded with webhook requests that it has to deal with synchronously, your workers can grab stuff off the queue when they're ready and available.
Let's Try It!
To use IronMQ webhooks, you just need to get your webhook URL for your queue.
https://mq-aws-us-east-1.iron.io/1/projects/MY_PROJECT_ID/queues/MY QUEUE NAME/messages/webhook?oauth=MY_TOKEN
Replace MY_PROJECT_ID and MY_TOKEN with a project id and token from HUD. Replace MY_QUEUE_NAME with whatever you want to name the queue.
Let's quickly post something to our webhook endpoint with curl:
curl -d 'I love queues'
Replace MY_PROJECT_ID and MY_TOKEN with your project id and token then run that command. Go ahead, give it a try.
Now let's grab that message off the queue:
(notice I removed "webhook" from the URL, otherwise it's the exact same as above).
You should get a response like this:
{"messages":[{"id":"5828196657047927116","body":"I love queues","timeout":60,}]}
Now if we want to acknowledge that we've handled the message, we need to delete it (if we don't delete it, it will go back on the queue after a timeout, this ensures messages have been processed). Copy the message id you got in the response above and use it in a curl delete:
curl -X DELETE
Now that we've tried posting an arbitrary http post to our queue, let's try it from a real service.
Example: Posting GitHub Service Hooks to IronMQ
Let's try a real world example using GitHub service hooks. All we need to do is add the queue's webhook URL to the Webhook URLs section of GitHub service hooks. Go to your GitHub repository, click "Settings", then click "Service Hooks". Change the QUEUE_NAME in your queue URL to github-webhook-queue to keep it separate from our tests above, so the new URL would be:
Paste that URL into the GitHub interface:
Click "Update Settings" then test it by clicking "Test Hook". Since there's not much of a response in the GitHub interface when you do this, you can check to see that you got a message by looking at your queues list in HUD. If it says 1, then it's all good so let's grab the message from the queue using curl.
curl https://mq-aws-us-east-1.iron.io/1/projects/MY_PROJECT_ID/queues/github-webhook-queue/messages?oauth=MY_TOKEN
The response you get will look pretty ugly because unfortunately GitHub posts a big chunk of json as an HTTP form parameter called "payload" so we have to decode it first. Here's a Ruby example to decode and get the proper values:
For more information on what's contained in the GitHub payload, check here.
There are a bunch of reasons to put a message queue between your systems and this feature enables you to use a queue between your systems and a third party. The only thing the third party needs to do is support webhooks which is becoming more and more common. Sign up for IronMQ now to try it out.
Webhooks are the events, message queues are the glue.

I think the story is interesting and full of ? Magyk?! It is also fun to read and always keeps you wondering what will happen next The characters are funny, and I love the adventure.Jenna is a funny character because she always tells jokes. At the beginning of each chapter there are interesting pictures of dragons and creatures that are in the story.
I would recommend this book to students who are a little older because it has so many details. It is an exciting, ?magical? book!

Hello and HELP!!!
Hi there!
I need help!
Perhaps I should qualify that statement...
Allow me to introduce myself. My situation can be summarised by one word: novice
I write this as I finish yet another unsuccessful session attempting to bake something that approximates what we know as 'bread'. It's the latest in a 5 month string of failures which have resulted in multiple skin burns, one broken oven and an assortment of burnt/broken/cracked equipment (not to mention countless bags of flour, bottles of water etc. etc.)
To give some background - I have been following Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice as well as a wealth of other information on this website and many others. All fantastic information and instruction but apparently completely useless in the hands of a novice such as myself.
Whether I'm following a recipe to the letter or attempting to apply a principle which I have learned - the result is always the same. Tasteless bread which is usually too dense and doughy (with the occasional air bubble) or burnt or a combination of the two. Crusts completely evade me and if I do manage a sembalnce of a crust, it is there for all of 5 minutes before it softens to leathery soft pap.
I have tried varying everything from baking temperature, rise time (and temperature), baking time, baking surface, flour (many different brands, strengths etc.), kneading times (or no knead recipes), baking stones, water sprays etc. etc. etc. - again with no success.
I think I need help (and possibly of the psychiatric kind). I understand and respect that it takes a life time to master the skills of great bread but I feel like I am not progressing or learning at all (although I hope I have absorbed at least some of the theory and science of breadmaking - gluten, autolyse, enzymes, protease etc.)
Would love to hear suggestions, opinions, therapists you could recommend....
Many Thanks

(Reuters) - Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had placed a partial hold on patient enrollment for trials of its cancer drug Iclusig after a number of patients taking the drug experienced blood clots and heart damage.
Ariad shares plunged as much as 77 percent to $4.00 in heavy trading — their lowest in three years.
The company said it paused enrollment in the trials after it reviewed new data from a pivotal mid-stage trial testing the drug to treat two forms of blood cancer.
"Timelines are now likely to all be pushed out which further makes it unlikely the stock will meaningfully recover anytime soon since this is the biggest catalyst for the stock," RBC Capital Markets analyst Michael Yee wrote in a note.
He said data from a late-stage trial of the drug in newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia would probably be delayed to the end of 2014 from the third quarter of 2014.
Iclusig was approved in December to treat two rare types of blood cancer, but the label warned of the potential for blood clots and liver toxicity.
The drug is also being tested in seven mid-stage studies for lung cancer, thyroid cancer and another form of blood cancer.
About 12 percent of patients treated with the drug developed blood clots in arteries after 24 months, while 6.2 percent experienced events that could lead to heart damage, Ariad said.
The company said it would reduce the dose to 30 mg from 45 mg in the late-stage study.
The drug will continue to be available at its approved dose of 45 mg to patients with resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Ariad said it was in talks with the FDA and other health regulators to make changes to the drug's label.
Citi analysts said the boxed warning on the drug could be updated to include the risks of blood clots and this would reduce the probability that it would take significant market share from competing drugs made by Novartis AG.
The company said it would modify the eligibility criteria for Iclusig studies to exclude patients who had a heart attack or stroke.
"We do think that the modifications we're making in conjunction with the FDA will allow us to ameliorate the toxicity we are seeing and still retain the efficacy," company executives said on a conference call with analysts.
Ariad's shares were trading down at $4.92, down 71 percent in morning trade on the Nasdaq. Over 60 million shares had changed hands by 10:50 am ET, more than 15 times their 10-day average.

DJ Ashba Describes Getting the Call to Audition for Guns N' Roses
Call it a rock 'n' roll fairytale. DJ Ashba's first concert was a Motley Crue show when he was just 16 years old, and now, the expert six-stringer is a bona fide member of fellow '80s rock icons Guns N' Roses, who are set to get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. That's a killer career trajectory, no doubt!
So, how does one score the ultimate guitar gig: holding down leads for Guns N' Roses? As DJ Ashba explains, it all came down to one phone call and great chemistry. "[Axl Rose] didn't tell me why he picked me," DJ Ashba told the Denver Westword. "What happened is that I got a call, basically saying -- I got a call at Sixx: A.M., and we had a number one hit at the time, and it said: 'Listen, Guns has been auditioning guitar players for about a year and a half on the down low. They can't seem to find the right guy.'"
They asked if he would be interested in coming down and checking out the band. Of course, the answer was, "yes!" "I guess Axl got wind that I was going to come down, and he called management and said, 'If he even shows up in the room, he has the gig,'" he added. "So it was kind of that easy."
What really surprised DJ Ashba was how closely Axl followed his career over the years. "The first time I sat down with him after joining the band, he had known about my entire career. It blew my mind," he said. "He remembered meeting me ten years ago, probably even longer than that now, when Sharon Osborne introduced us, while I was making the Beautiful Creatures album. He said, 'If I knew you would have been up for this, I would've came after you years ago.' I didn't even know I was on his radar, so it was pretty flattering." Read what Ashba has to say about how Guns N' Roses divvies out parts when writing music together, here.

JFK records his impressions of secret meetings
On this day in 1962, President John F. Kennedy records his impression of the day's meetings regarding the recently discovered presence of Soviet ballistic missiles on the island of Cuba. The ensuing Cuban Missile Crisis brought America to the brink of nuclear war.
Beginning on October 15, U.S. spy planes captured photographic evidence that the Soviet Union was installing missile sites on Cuba. On October 18, Kennedy, in a tired and methodical voice, after a long day of high-level secret meetings, recorded his recollection of each of his advisor's opinions on the issue. Kennedy had first suggested making a direct military strike against Cuba, but several of his advisors, including his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, reminded the president that such a strike would not only result in the deaths of thousands of innocent Cubans, but would probably incite the Russians to retaliate by bombing democratic West Berlin. By the end of the day, Kennedy had decided to abandon the idea of a military strike, and focus instead on a naval blockade of Cuba.
The blockade began October 21 and, the next day, Kennedy delivered a public address alerting Americans to the situation in Cuba and calling on Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to remove the missiles or face retaliation by the United States. Khrushchev responded by sending more ships—possibly carrying military cargo—toward Cuba and by allowing construction at the sites to continue. Over the following six days, the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of global nuclear war while the two leaders engaged in tense negotiations via telegram and letter.
By October 28, Kennedy and Khrushchev had reached a settlement and people on both sides of the conflict breathed a collective but wary sigh of relief. The Cuban missile sites were dismantled and, in return, Kennedy agreed to close U.S. missile sites in Turkey.

Asparagus & Leek Soup
Most recipes that use leeks as a main ingredient tend to be very similar - leeks with potatoes and/or cream, cheese, white sauce. I have to say I love a rich and creamy leek gratin, but I wanted to try something lighter, something different.
As I had just bought a large bundle of wonderful asparagus, I was excited to find this very favorably reviewed Asparagus & Leek soup recipe at Epicurious.com.
This very simple recipe produced a elegant, creamy soup, bursting with flavor. We tasted it before adding light sour cream and it was deliciously creamy already. I'd skip the sour cream next time as I felt it muted the flavor a little and was really unnecessary.
I substituted vegetable stock for the chicken stock and had to adjust the seasoning at the end. Also note that this recipe only produces two bowls of soup, so double the recipe if you're feeding more that two as an appetizer.

Pierre Hosts Grand Opening of Airport Terminal
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Pierre Regional Airport is hosting the grand opening of its new terminal on Friday afternoon. City, state and federal officials are expected to attend the event marking completion of the $12 million project.
Officials say the old terminal was experiencing groundwater issues in the basement and was not designed to incorporate a Transportation Safety Administration security checkpoint.
Airport Manager Mike Isaacs says staff has been moving files and equipment from the old terminal to prepare for the opening. TSA moved its security equipment to the new terminal Tuesday.
Preliminary work began in 2010, while construction of the terminal started in 2011.

I bought this on a whim, thinking that if the duck brooder could be just a little less soggy/stinky/nasty this year, that would be a win. I've got 13 ducklings in the brooder, they've been there for a week, and I haven't had to change their shavings until today. The water stays clean, the ducks are dry, the feed is dry, the shavings are dry. Best $20 I've spent in a long time.

Great product and only reason I gave 4 stars is because the 22" diameter is too large. I had to get a bigger brooder box for it to fit. So 22" may be perfect for some but there should be something in the 16-18" diameter for those that don't have a 2' wide chick brooder

Love the stand. Keeps water clean. No more having to clean water 2 or 3 times a day. Was much larger than expected but it worked fine in my brooder. Love the product.

I only wish there was one a little smaller.

Best $18 spent in a long time!! Keeps water clean and shaving free.
Bigger than I expected as I did not look a the dimensions! But well it cuts down on cleaning waterers twice per day!

In Bolivia, approximately 620 women die each year because of complications during pregnancy or childbirth. To raise awareness about this issue, the institution Mesa de Maternidad y Nacimiento Seguros, with the support of the UNFPA and FCI, have developed the publication, Por una Maternidad y Nacimiento Seguros. It provides the most recent data about maternal health in Bolivia.
