219:9 Even though there is no mourning on a holiday, we nevertheless comfort the bereaved. This is not considered mourning because the mourner isn't doing anything. After the holiday, when seven days from the burial have been concluded, even though the week of observing shiva has not, the mourner's work may be done by others in their own homes, and his employees may do it privately in his home. There is no need to comfort the mourner after the holiday for however many days he was comforted during the holiday; nevertheless, he should be visited.
220:1 Yom tov cancels the observance of shiva and of shloshim. Here's how: if a person buried a relative before yom tov and started mourning, the arrival of the holiday cancels the mourning. This is so even if the burial was on erev yom tov in the afternoon; since he started mourning – even just taking his shoes off for a short time before yom tov – it interrupts his mourning. It is considered as if he already fulfilled the seven days of shiva; the first day of yom tov is treated like the eighth day and he continues on to thirty. Even if erev yom tov was on Shabbos and one received timely notification of a relative's passing close to nightfall, and even though there is no public mourning on Shabbos, since he did some mourning – even though it was only in private – yom tov also cancels shiva for this.

A company operating the online Nigel O'Hara jewellery business is facing 10 charges related to unfair trading.
The case against JRN Jewellers and its director Richard O'Hara (35) will be heard at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on December 1.
Mr O'Hara and the company are charged with five counts of engaging in misleading commercial practice, three counts of engaging in unfair commercial practice, and two of knowingly/recklessly engaging in commercial practice.
JRN Jewellers, with an office registered to 1 William Street, confirmed that the company has had to close with the loss of more than 35 jobs.
Mr O'Hara, of Linvara, Tandragee, said, "This is a very difficult time for staff, family members and customers of the business. I am unable to comment further at this stage."
The case is being brought by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment's Trading Standards Service, under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
The charges relate to dates between December 1, 2013 and November 7, 2014.
Among the allegations are incorrect prices for goods, including watches, advertised on the Nigel O'Hara website; and claims of a 'hurry, sale ends tonight' claim which, it is alleged, were false 'because the sale did not end on that night'.
It is further alleged that JRN Jewellers advertised that a television had been discounted from the previous selling price whereas the TV 'had never been offered for sale at the higher price', and that the Nigel O'Hara website offered to supply a watch without disclosing that it would not be able to supply it.
Charges also include taking payment 'without ascertaining if you were in a position to supply the product ordered at the price indicated withing a reasonable time', failure to refund money within the time periods stipulated, and offering a 100 per cent cash back prize, without awarding the prizes described or a reasonable equivalent.
Last week, the Nigel O'Hara Jewellers shop in Portadown announced it was closing after 42 years in business.

Tragically Hip
Origin: Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Genres: alternative rock, Americana rock, Blues-Rock, Folk rock

While hugely popular in their native Canada, the Tragically Hip found the global charts continually resistant to their blues-influenced pop fare. Formed in 1984 in Kingston, Ontario, the band comprised childhood friends Gordon Downie (vocals), Bobby Baker (guitar), Paul Langlois (guitar), Gord Sinclair (bass), and Johnny Fay (drums). The band members took their name from a Michael Nesmith video entitled Elephant Parts and focused on making a name for themselves on the local scene during the mid-'80s.
While performing at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern, MCA Records president Bruce Dickinson was impressed by the Hip's infectious live presence and offered them a deal. A self-titled eponymous EP appeared in 1987, but it took the band two years to get critical attention. Their proper studio debut effort, 1989's Up to Here, boasted the swagger of "Blow at High Dough" and Downie's powerful song craft was blossoming.
College charts were instantly attracted and fellow Canadians were appreciative of the Tragically Hip's insatiable appeal. Road Apples, issued in 1991, was moderately successful; however, the band's third album, Fully Completely (1993), allowed for international crossover.
Singles such as "Courage" and "Wheat Kings" became mainstays in pockets of Michigan and New York; the Hip were slowly being noticed and American fans began cherishing them as much as their Canadian loyalists. They continued to rise steadily with 1995's somber storm, Day for Night, and their star power was burgeoning. Sold-out tours across Canada and Midwest America, and a spot on Saturday Night Live, catapulted the vibrancy of "Grace, Too" onto modern rock charts. The Tragically Hip were becoming an anthemic band among the split indie and rock crowds, practically on the verge of being an arena attraction.
Trouble at the Henhouse, their first album for Atlantic, was blistering with a passion similar to Day for Night's, but was released too soon after that previous effort. It wasn't radio-friendly enough for America, either, but the band members weren't concerned. The Hip trudged on, selling out countless dates in North America. Downie, who was also a poetic madman, composed a frenzied stage presence and the band's tight rhythms were infectious.
The mix of roots rock and light country tinges was something tangible during the mid-'90s grunge reign. While touring in support of Trouble at the Henhouse, the Hip recorded their first-ever live album, Live Between Us (1997). This particular album captured an astonishing night at Detroit's Cobo Arena in 1996, and was uncut and unfearing. The band was at the top of its game, never selling out to corporate ideals. They were a stadium sensation without ever having a major hit in America. The rest of the '90s was a time of rest, but also a period when the band returned to the basics of true rock & roll grit.
Phantom Power (1998), their sixth studio album and eighth overall, marked their most cohesive work to date. It was also their debut for Sire Records. The album was recorded in the band's hometown of Kingston and the songs themselves were cathartic and seductive. "Fireworks" and "Poets" were again mainstays on college radio. A showcase at Woodstock '99 proved glorious for these Canadians the next summer.
Music @ Work followed in summer 2000, with subsequent U.S. tours with Guster. The next year, Gordon Downie put his pen to paper for a book of poetry and a solo album entitled Coke Machine Glow. Downie returned to the studio in 2001 to join his band mates for another Hip record. Producer Hugh Padgham (Split Enz, XTC, Phil Collins) was also on board to tweak the Tragically Hip's ninth record, In Violet Light, issued in June 2002.
In Between Evolution, the band's most introspective work yet, followed in summer 2004. The following year saw the release of Hipeponymous, a limited-edition box set that included the two-disc greatest-hits compilation Yer Favorites and the live DVD That Night in Toronto: Pierre & Francois Lamoureux, as well as a bonus DVD of all of the group's videos.
Fellow Canadian and famed producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe) signed on for the Hip's 11th studio LP, World Container. Intimate club shows in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal were also scheduled in celebration of its release in fall 2006. We Are the Same arrived in 2009. After a nearly three-year break, the Tragically Hip re-emerged with Now for Plan A in the fall of 2012. Tours of Canada and the U.S. consumed much of 2013, and the band began recording in 2014. Another busy year of touring followed in 2015. The single "In a World Possessed by the Human Mind" previewed the Hip's 13th studio album, Man Machine Poem; the album was released in June of 2016.

text: Show Hide image Politics 27 March 2013 A lesson can be learned from the violent death of my old friend Mousie Nicholas Lezard's "Down and Out" column. Sign-up I have always rather liked the picture of me that appears in the paper edition of this magazine – insofar as I am capable of liking a byline picture of myself – but it is now inaccurate. The eyes you see in it should now be replaced by the cold, dead eyes of a killer. The victim was Mousie, long-term secondary character in this column, sometime provider of solace during times of misery, as hopeless prisoners make companions of those smaller and even more wretched than they (I wonder: is Chris Huhne, even as I write these words, befriending a Mr Jingles in his cell, like in The Green Mile, and leaving him morsels of toast while he tries to forget his crimes? "A Liberal Democrat in a cage/ Puts all heaven in a rage," as William Blake so very nearly wrote). However, the days when I looked sentimentally on Mousie passed a long time ago. There was a part of me that was resigned to him skittering across the floor and picking up whatever crumbs he found there – after all, if I had failed to sweep up, I had only myself to blame for any infestations – but a kind of Rubicon was crossed when he decided to leave several turds upon what had hitherto been a respectably clean chopping board. It was as clear a message of contempt as the v-sign or the sprayed obscenity – as well as being a taunt. "Catch me if you can, stupid human," was the clear signal being received here. Since then there have been the usual pitiful attempts to eradicate Mousie: the charm ingly retro mousetrap, which succeeded only in trapping my finger; the so-called "humane" trap, whose very name indicates the self-defeating oxymoron, whose nature I will return to in a minute; the glue trap, which failed to pick anything up at all except lint; and the space-age sonic device that plugged into the wall and is supposed to send out a high-frequency shriek inaudible to humans but torture to rodents. This worked for about two days and has since then been so ineffective that it actually, despite still being hopelessly plugged in, seems to serve the same purpose as the clock at Waterloo station used to: that is, as an official rendezvous point and rallying place for Mousie's friends and relations. The only things I haven't tried are poison, for I do not want (a) to be bothered by the smell of unreachable dead mouse if it works or (b) plagued by an infestation of poison-resistant supermice if it doesn't. And a cat, for reasons far too complex to go into here. These days all the best houses have mice: a combination of sloppy personal habits and central heating have aided a population explosion. But not only that: also, our own squeamishness. I refer you to the "humane trap" mentioned above. This is for the milksop who does not want a mouse in the house but is too timid or pious to do anything about it. When Tristram Shandy's Uncle Toby releases a fly into the outside world with the words,"This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me," he has a point but mice, unlike flies, do not upon release thank their lucky stars and promise to mend their ways and never get themselves into that kind of a fix again; they go right back and compound the original crime. They know they're wrong: when they scurry away from you when you go into the kitchen, it's not self preservation that moves them, it's guilt. In the end, Mousie got greedy: he got stuck in a plastic bag in which I had two slices of bread ready to toast to accompany my soup for dinner. I left the kitchen for two minutes and returned to find the mouse in the bag and the bread already reduced to crumbs. Mousie had always been too fast for me; but now, demented by avarice, he had failed to take precautions and all I had to do was twist the neck of the bag, tie a knot, ignore his desperate attempts to kindle any nascent anthropomorphism and then put the bag on the floor and stomp on it with the heel of my boot. It took me a while to untangle the metaphor in all this, for I am not wholly given to making them; but it recently occurred to me that, when it comes to parasites, why didn't we do the same with some other notorious ones, when we found themselves stuffing themselves with our dinner and contributing nothing to our lives except their turds over our chopping-boards? We had the bankers and the hedge-fund managers where we wanted them for a few minutes a few years ago; we saw, before their selfinterest reasserted itself, the panic of guilt in their eyes; but we were weak, and timid and let them go, to crap again.

My best friend cheated on her husband. She left him but not completely. She kept working on the marriage while still seeing the old man she was dating.
I never thought my husband would cheat on me and I never thought my best friend would she on her husband.
I'm not doing well because I just don't understand how people can do such hurtful things to people they are supposed to care and love. I mean when you get married, aren't you supposed to be with that person and not want to hurt them.
Sure you can say that infidelity isn't intentionally hurting someone, it's just unintentional, but really? How can you go off with someone and have fun but the. Not consider you are hurting your spouse?
People just don't care about others. They just don't. They only care about themselves.
This hurts me.
What else hurts me is because of my best friends affair, I've lost her too. Of course, she can't face me. I lost someone who I thought was my best friend for the same reason why I lost my husband.
I say lost my husband because our vies were broken with his affair and that will be forever. I hate marriage. It's such a joke. People want to say they want to be with someone forever but they don't. Why say it then?
My best friends husband is saying he won't sign the papers. He said that he said I Do for a reason. He is standing by her no matter what and well, she is taking it.
She wants what every stupid person that cheats does... She wants to have her good time as a single person but still keep her husband in her life. Isn't that nice?
Her husband is at fault too. He allows that to happen. He still talks to her and goes out with her. He wants her back and he will take whatever he can get from her. The only thing is he won't ever get what he really wants from her, which is a wife.
This is such a bunch of crap.
I tried talking to my husband about how I feel and he just gets defensive about it. He can't help me. No one can and once again I am alone.
This whole infidelity thing has led to one overall conclusion. I am alone. It shows me that no one truly cares about anyone. No one thinks about other people when they only think about themselves.
My husband didn't think about me when he went off to his slut. My best friend didn't think of her husband when she went off with her douchebag. She doesn't think of me when she is going through her marital problems even though I always thought of her.
I don't want to have anyone close to me anymore because it's just one sided. I am the only one that cares about other people. Other people don't care about me.
Sure, they care enough to say they are a friend, but do they really care? No.... They will hurt me in a second if it's better for them.
I'm sad I lost my best friend and I'm even sadder because it was due to infidelity... again.

The Beautiful Time opened on January 7th, in the Focus Gallery of the permanent exhibit, African Voices. It will be on view through 2012.
I first saw the Baloji exhibition, which was organized by the Museum for African Art, when it opened in New York over a year ago. I was immediately struck by the beauty and the visual power of the work and by the stories Baloji's works tell of history and memory, home and landscape, and work and wealth in the Congo. These are all important themes in Africa today and they are themes of so many of the stories from around the continent that are told in African Voices. I was delighted that we were able to bring the exhibit here to NMNH.
Baloji's haunting photographs evoke the memory of the generations of Congolese whose labor built the vibrant copper mining industry—now lost—in the Katanga province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century these mines were the second largest producers of copper in the world.
Baloji's photographic collages juxtapose black and white archival photographs of Congolese mine workers against the background of color photographs of panoramic landscapes of the contemporary ruins of factories and copper mines. Although the early workers—who wear prison garb and in chains in some of these photographs—came to the mines as forced labor for the colonial state, they had within a few decades become highly skilled and valued mine workers. Their labor created Congo's modern industrial era and in his artwork, Baloji's celebrates these mine workers' essential role in Congo's prosperity. At the same time that they celebrate this history, these photographs convey the dramatic power of tragedy—the loss of the hard earned prosperity that has been squandered over the past decades through mismanagement and corruption.
Baloji is part of a generation of young Congolese who were born nearly two decades after the end of the colonial era in 1960. His work aims to understand and reconnect for contemporary Congolese and for us two strikingly different time periods –the colonial and the post colonial era. His photographs give voice to those forgotten African workers who built Congo's mining industry in the early part of the 20th century, and they cry out against the recent deindustrialization in the Congo and elsewhere in Africa.
Last year, I had the opportunity to meet Sammy and his colleague Patrick Mudekereza, in Brussels. Patrick is a writer and a long time artistic collaborator with Baloji in the Congo. I asked Patrick to share his thoughts on these photographs and we have included his commentary in the exhibit. Asked about the meaning of the phrase, The Beautiful Time, Patrick explained, "Sammy's photographs are not nostalgic celebrations of The Beautiful Time, a phrase we often hear the older generation use when referring to the golden age of the colonial mining industry. Rather, Sammy's pictures speak to today and imply a failure by our leaders to provide our people with a means to create a more beautiful time than before."

What is Resilience?
Most commonly, the term resilience has come to mean an individual's ability to overcome adversity and continue his or her normal development. However, the RRC uses a more ecological and culturally sensitive definition. Dr. Michael Ungar, Co-Director of the RRC, has suggested that resilience is better understood as follows:
"In the context of exposure to significant adversity, resilience is both the capacity of individuals to navigate their way to the psychological, social, cultural, and physical resources that sustain their well-being, and their capacity individually and collectively to negotiate for these resources to be provided in culturally meaningful ways." (See also Ungar, 2008 and Ungar, 2011)

IRVING, Texas—Led by senior Jacob McPherson with five goals, the Birmingham-Southern men's lacrosse team downed University of Dallas on the road, Sunday, 23-6.
BSC moves to 7-2 overall and 2-0 in the SCAC with its fourth straight win; the Crusaders fall to 1-8 overall and 0-3 in the league.
The Panthers came out firing, scoring twice in the first minute and leading 7-0 after the first quarter. BSC also scored the first five goals of the second quarter to go up 12-0 before Dallas scored its first goal of the game at the 8:02 mark. BSC scored again, as did Dallas, giving BSC a 13-2 lead at the half.
The Crusaders scored twice to open the second half and cut it to 13-4, but the Panthers rattled off five straight goals to close out the third quarter with an 18-4 lead.
The fourth quarter looked like a replay of the third, with Dallas scoring twice again to open the quarter, and BSC ending with five straight goals.
McPherson led all players with five goals, followed by freshman Erik Klein with four and senior Ryan Croft and sophomore Matt Ivie with three each. McPherson also tallied an impressive seven assists, followed by sophomore Michael Sanicola with four.
Klein led with seven ground balls, followed by senior Chris Clarke and freshman Reed Butler with six. Freshman John Sommerall led on face-offs, going 8-of-10.
Junior goalkeeper Andrew Huffman played the entire game in the net, making four saves.
BSC led in shots, 57-15, ground balls, 56-40, face-offs, 19-13, and was 18-of-19 on clears. The Panthers also committed only 15 turnovers, 13 less than the Crusaders with 28.
The Panthers return home next weekend for two more conference games, facing Colorado College on Friday at 6 p.m. and Hendrix College on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Conventional wisdom says there should be three top receivers available in free agency this year: Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, and Dwayne Bowe.
They each have the skills to be a "No. 1" target, but they also have some knocks against them. Jennings is coming off an injury-plagued year for the Green Bay Packers. Wallace is a speed merchant who hasn't exactly developed into a complete receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bowe's downside is harder to define.
"I am scared to death of Dwayne Bowe," one scout told SI.com's Peter King. "Like him a lot, but not sure what we'd be buying if we signed him. Too much baggage."
Bowe didn't have the best reputation early on after getting drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. His propensity for drops matched his up-and-down effort (and up-and-down weight). Bowe has mostly avoided negative headlines the last two seasons, but his reputation for selfish behavior clearly persists.
I have little doubt Bowe will be paid big bucks regardless. King mentions Jennings, Wallace, and the Miami Dolphins' Brian Hartline as this year's biggest receiver targets, but Bowe has the most well-rounded skill set of all of them. He's put up big numbers despite shaky quarterback play, even if Bowe is the master of garbage-time production.
The biggest concern here is how Bowe will react to earning big money. He's played his best the last two years while playing for a new contract. He won't get Vincent Jackson-caliber money, but Bowe should do very well, even if he scares some scouts to death.

UPTON�- Lisa Bernat's 9-year-old son, William Rosenfeld, crashed into her wide-open arms�while riding�a bicycle Thursday at Nipmuc Regional High School.
It was the first time he ever rode a two-wheeled bike by himself,�Bernat said. She recalled�the failed attempts at trying to teach her son, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, how to ride. The previous attempts left�him bruised, scared and anxious.
"I�m so proud of you," she told her son,�as tears�welled up in her eyes.
William,�a Hopedale resident, was one of 25�children attending a weeklong program, iCan Bike, designed to help teach children with disabilities -ranging�from autism to�Down syndrome�- how to independently�ride a�bicycle.
The�camp is the flagship program of iCan Shine, a national nonprofit organization. The event was sponsored by the Friends of the Hopedale Special Education Parents Advisory Council (SEPAC).
Bernat�said the last time she tried to teach William to ride a bicycle, he took a hard fall and didn�t have the courage to try again.
But on Thursday, William was cruising around the parking lot at Nipmuc, displaying�confidence Bernat said she has rarely seen in her son.
"It�s the best feeling ever,"�Bernat said.
Westborough resident Jamie Boss watched her 10-year-old son, Sam, who has autism, ride a two-wheeled bike for�the second time.
On Wednesday, Boss said her husband went with their son to the program and videoed Sam�s first solo bike ride.
"When I saw the video, I balled my eyes out," she said.
Boss said�she and her husband tried to teach Sam to ride when he was younger, but he didn�t seem interested.
On Thursday, Sam came to a skidding stop in front of his mother and other program volunteers exhibiting poise and not a hint of fear about falling.
"It�s something I thought I�d never see," Boss said.
According to Volunteer Camp Director and SEPAC member�Theresa Ehlrich, 24 of the 25 children attending the program were able to ride on two wheels by themselves as of Thursday. One still remains on a bike with a small roller for a back wheel, but that�s what they all started on, she said.
Ehlrich, of Hopedale, said she helped bring the program to the area after meeting Executive Director Lisa Ruby during the Best Buddies Ride last year, in which her daughter rode.
Her daughter, diagnosed with global developmental delays, learned to ride by herself last year at a program in�Arlington for 10-year-olds, she said.
"I said, �I really want to do this for our area.�"
The family now uses the Upper Charles Trail at least twice a week, and sometimes travels to New Hampshire to bike with the whole family.
She said the program gives everyone a chance to learn.
"It opens up some doors for kids who no longer have to watch from their window," Ehlrich said.

Wreck-It Staples, Xavier's madcap comeback, polls, and 958 other words
Marce Petroccio, the affable coach of Staples of Westport, reacted with disbelief when told how many yards of offense his team had during Saturday's game at Darien.
Petroccio should be used to his team's shock-and-awe offense by now. They have the state's highest scoring average, and Saturday they gained 723 yards in a 63-28 mauling of Darien.
"In my 34 years, this is the best high school football team I've ever seen," Blue Wave coach Rob Trifone told the Stamford Advocate. "This team is bigger and faster collectively than anyone I've ever played."
Staples (6-0), ranked third in The Day of New London Top 10 state coaches' poll, figured to be among the state's best teams. It started few seniors last season, yet still won the uber-competitive Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference. Its only loss was to two-time Class LL champion Xavier of Middletown in the state final.
The Wreckers may have been expected to excel, but not like this.
"We're fortunate that we've got a lot of different ways to score," Petroccio said. "We've got tremendous skill kids and the offensive line is one of the best lines I've had a chance to coach.
"I'm a lucky guy. That's all I can say."
Staples has scored the third-most points in the state (324) despite playing one fewer game than most teams.
The Wreckers have averaged a state-best 54 points. Their final two touchdowns Saturday were scored by their JV.
"It definitely starts with the offensive line," senior co-captain Nick Kelly said. "They're a fantastic unit. it all starts with them, so we just feed off of them."
Staples' offensive line is king-sized. The starting five are center Will Patrick (6-foot-2, 280 pounds), guards Will Patrick (6-2, 280) and Burim Trdevaj (5-10, 250) and tackles Kyle Vaughn (6-4, 265) and Nick Ward (6-1, 255).
The Wreckers' offensive line is so big and skilled that average players could run for five yards per carry. It just so happens that they have players who are both talented and skilled.
"We've had (former tailback Jimmy Hughes)," Petroccio said. "We've had so many great players here, but I don't think we've ever had a collection of offensive weapons like this. It makes it fun coaching the offense, that's for sure. There's a lot of different ways to go."
Joey Zelkowitz and Kelly combine to give Staples a devastating 1-2 punch at running back. Zelkowitz ran 10 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns in the Darien win. He also, while in a full sprint, hauled in a deep pass from quarterback Jack Massie and scored an 83-yard touchdown.
Kelly ran 12 times for 146 yards and scored.
Massie has made a big difference in the offense. He's more comfortable and polished in his second season and allows the Wreckers to throw more out of their spread triple-option offense.
"(Darien) came with eight in the box," Petroccio said, "and we just can't allow people to stack the box against the run all the time and not take advantage of it. That's what we did today. We have the ability to throw more and be more balanced."
Massie completed 14 of 18 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns against Darien. He also scored on a 72-yard run.
"He's done a phenomenal job," Petroccio said. "He can get us into any play we want. He calls the defense. He calls everything that we have. He's a student of the game. … I think a lot of (Massie's evolution) has to do with (quarterback coach /secondary coach/passing game coordinator) coach Mac DeVito."
Fitch fans should be very familiar with DeVito. The former Staples standout quarterback ran for a game-winning 61-yard touchdown against the Falcons with 1 minute, 57 seconds left in the team's 1997 Class L semifinal. The Wreckers won 24-18.
"There's a Westport legend that comes in (on the staff)," Petroccio said. "The kid has pride in our school and our program and what we do, and that pride is now passed on to Jack."

Xavier of Middletown's comeback Friday has been mentioned a few times at this here blog, but its tale is still worth telling.
The Falcons rallied from a 28-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat Hillhouse of New Haven 50-49. Their 28 point comeback ties the state record shared by both Bacon Academy and St. Joseph of Trumbull.
"We have all of these big kids, these 300-pound linemen and they weren't hitting anybody," Xavier coach Sean Marinan told Sean Patrick Bowley of the Connecticut Post. "I was screaming at them: Go out there and HIT somebody."
Hillhouse scored less than a minute into the second half to take a 49-21 lead.
The Falcons immediately sprung to life. DeAngelo Berry scored on a 1-yard run with with 51 seconds left to cut the Academics' lead to one point.
Xavier went for two and Berry ran in the conversion for the go-ahead points. He ran 17 times for 90 yards and three touchdowns.
Bowley wrote that, after the game, Marinan told his team, "I'm glad you guys finally got angry. I can't tell you how proud I am."

Heather Whiting
Class of 2006
Major/Minor: Biology, Pschology, Premed
For Heather Whiting and Brandon Metcalf, medicine runs in the family.
Together, the husband-and-wife team attended Washington College and then went on to study medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Heather will earn her medical degree in 2013 and then pursue a career in pediatrics.
Before entering medical school, Heather worked as a lab tech at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, a hospital for children with developmental or physical disabilities. She was part of a team researching ways to prevent brain injuries in babies whose oxygen supply is cut off during delivery. She also spent some time there as a clinical research assistant in the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury, examining ways to prevent osteoporosis in patients with spinal cord injury.
Heather felt well prepared for the rigors of medical school after Washington College, and says the small class sizes and personal attention helped her perform well in upper-level science courses.
Though she appreciates the strong academic base she built, Heather also values the experiences she had outside the classroom.
"I was a resident assistant, which taught me how to lead by example and be assertive without being overbearing," she said.
She honed her interpersonal skills as a peer tutor and a member of Best Buddies.
"Every person you meet is going to be different, and you have to be able to approach them each differently in order to give them the best help that you can offer," she said.
Being involved in various activities on campus, rather than only focusing on her academic workload, was important to Heather.
"If you plan to go to medical school, so much of your time is consumed by it. You need to get involved and develop other interests and hobbies and take classes outside of your major to have a well-balanced and happy life," she said.

The Tuscaloosa County Commission is considering televising its meetings, like the Tuscaloosa City Council and the Northport City Council. But the commission hasn't yet agreed on whether the county should spend the money to do so.
TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa County Commission is considering televising its meetings, like the Tuscaloosa City Council and the Northport City Council. But the commission hasn't agreed on whether the county should spend the money to do so.
"I think this may be a political push, and I don't see why we need to get into this at this point, especially when we have at least two newspapers and three TV stations here every week," said County Commissioner Bobby Miller during the commission's regular meeting Wednesday.
But Commissioner Reginald Murray said the meetings should be televised, because it would better inform the public about the county's operations.
"With Tuscaloosa and Northport televising their meetings, I feel like it's moving more toward modern-day age and people can see their government without having to come out," Murray said. "It puts the commission in the position to where it's better informing its citizens to the actions of the county."
Melvin Vines, the county's personnel director, said it would cost the county about $125 an hour to have its meetings filmed, less if the county wants to buy a camera and equipment. The meetings could then be broadcast on Charter Media for free, since the county has a franchise agreement with Charter. But if the county wants to reach all customers, including those with Comcast, the county would have to pay $200 per hour of each meeting broadcast on television.
On average, the County Commission meets twice a month and its meetings last between one and three hours.
There are very few county governments in Alabama that televise meetings — Baldwin County may be the only one, said County Commission Chairman Hardy McCollum. He said Tuscaloosa County is trying to become more open to the public but that there are other ways to achieve that goal besides broadcasting meetings.
"We are trying to become more accessible to the public," said McCollum, who recommended that the county commissioners have regular public meetings within their districts to talk to constituents.
"Transparency is availability of information, and I don't know anyone who is more accessible than this body," McCollum said. "Just ask the media, we are very forthright in giving information."
During Wednesday's meeting, the commission did not vote on the issue. Instead, Murray asked Vines to research the cost of video equipment and how much Northport pays for its meetings to be televised.
County Commissioner Stan Acker said he would like the county to continue to look into the issue, including possibly broadcasting the meetings online.
"Perhaps we can enhance the website to stream meetings on there instead," Acker said.
In other business, the commission:
n Approved a 30-mile-per-hour speed limit sign to be posted on Maxwell Loop Road.
n Approved a request to the Alabama Department of Transportation to re-install a flashing light at the intersection of Gainesville Road and U.S. Highway 11. The county also requested that the state conduct a traffic study to determine if a traffic signal is needed at that intersection.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: this column is sometimes the bane of my existence. Actually not just mine, but many editors. Usually the biggest problem comes from not really having a topic that hits home enough to center an entire column on it.
Those of you that know me (and even those who are just getting to) know that doesn't sound like me, since I tend to have an opinion on just about everything and I'm always willing to share it with anyone who will listen — just ask my wife, who more often than not, is the unfortunate audience of one for these diatribes.
This month's problem comes from having too many topics rattling around that impact the industry — and get me ready to rant. They range from research showing that restaurant food is even fattier than originally thought; house work isn't really exercise (damn that eight-pound vacuum, if it was just a little heavier…); a lawsuit that proves you can be fit and fat; and that obesity still contributes to diabetes.
One of the items that not only impacts the industry also hit home with me, so I'll stick with that one right now.
Last month, in a groundbreaking case that was settled in San Francisco, Jennifer Portnick, a 240-pound fitness professional, won a fight over weight bias with Jazzercise, arguing that she could be both "fit" and "fat." This ruling could be a double-edged sword for the industry.
First of all, the industry has been preaching wellness and health over "body beautiful" for some time now, so what a better advertisement than a fit aerobics instructor that isn't model thin?
But, while it is true that looks can be deceiving (and more members probably look like this instructor than they do a fitness competitor), it will put the onus on health clubs to work harder and more creatively to market their programs led by instructors that don't fit the image presented in the media. Because as we all know, people may say they want to be healthy but what they really want is to look like their favorite actor, actress, athlete, or model — and want to learn from someone that is already in that class.
This isn't a new phenomenon; I knew (and was) one of the trainers that didn't always fit the image presented by the media of what a "good" trainer should look like. I've never been under 10% body fat (right now, I'd settle for 15%, OK, 18%) and always had my own "style" — although many would disagree with my use of the word. In fact, I once had a boss that said I would be much more successful if I just did a couple of things: cut my hair differently, wear different shorts, and get different glasses. Oh, and "train myself a little harder." (He might as well have asked me to change my genetic code while he was at it.) Was he right? Maybe, but I didn't stick around long enough to find out.
But what I looked like didn't take away from the fact that I was a pretty good trainer (notice the forced modesty). Most of my clients achieved results and, more importantly for me, learned enough about fitness to train on their own eventually — not the best thing for business, but I looked at it as part of my job. And I'm sure it is the same for Portnick.
So next time you're evaluating your staff take a look past the outside and look at the talents, integrity, and skills of the person. It may be more work for your marketing team to make a fit with them, but in the end if they can give your members the results they want, it may be worth it.

Kickstarter Video Project Attracts Misogynist Horde
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . . . 35 NEXT
I wasn't being sarcastic (except for the part in italics). I think she's an idiot. A little less so than the, er, "gentlemen" posting disgustingly obscene comments on her page. But still an idiot all the same.
You misunderstand my point. I don't really care one way or the other if you support the project - ultimately, target of the harassment isn't the point. You do have the ability to impact the behavior. I'm not talking about the ability to get characters made different, I mean the ability to get people to behave more like rational human beings. When you see someone acting like this - say something. Call them out. Make it known that this kind of bile is unacceptable. Whether or not you believe in the project, you surely don't support people acting this way - that's what news posts like this are meant to illustrate.
There was a panel at PAX about online harassment, and as people filed in, a number of messages sent over Xbox Live were displayed in a slide show on the front screen. Very similar comments to the ones featured here. After the very large crowd was assembled, the moderator asked how many people were surprised to learn that things got said. About a third of the people in the room raised their hands. So there are still people out there who don't know that this kind of abject hatred happens. The more people who are aware of it, the more who are ready and able to say "No. You don't get to treat people like that."
This isn't about changing the industry, or videogame characters. This is about demanding that people be treated like people, even when you disagree with them.
I don't see it that way. I see it as there's a war going, and everybody thinks its horrible that these two sides are killing each other, but instead of talking about how horrible the war is as a whole, they focus on how bad it is for one side in the conflict to the detriment of the other. Both sides are being cruel and unfair, but one side is cuter and more attractive than the other, so that one gets the attention. Basically the difference between feminism and equalism.
Or you could say we're working on curing one symptom of the disease, instead of working to cure the entire disease.
Honestly, despite the trolling, there is some legitimate critisism to be had here. First off, you can make the videos for free. You don't need to abuse Kickstarter to make something that costs nothing to make. I can understand wanting to make a buck, but theres a line that has been crossed somewhere
Anyway, thats my opinion on the matter.
Yes and it's an inane idea. Here, do this for me, look up a dozen movies or shows designed for women--you know, chick flicks, romantic comedies, reality TV. Count the number of women in them. Now count the number of men. Was there any men? Count the number of them that aren't handsome, toned, charming and desirable.
Why is this news to anyone? Guys like to hang out with guys. Girls like to hang out with girls. By the age of about six, with no outside influence, children begin to separate themselves by gender and play almost solely with those of their own sex.
Some women spend so much time playing victim and talking about their sex, they forget that we're all human. Feminists can be the most sexist people on the planet; no one else goes out of their way to identify their gender and talk about it as much as feminists. So how about we all care less about who's a man and who's woman, and start seeing each other as human.
Okay, then I have some bad news for you. You don't get it. You might think you get it, but you don't. You don't get the Smurfette Principle, and you don't get how to say things that are not sexist. You single out the "gentlemen" posting those vile comments, but you're on their team. They're in the field playing the game; you're the one squirting water into their mouths when they take a break.
If you want to get it; if you want to be a decent person who doesn't say incredibly sexist things like the incredibly sexist stuff you just said in the post I quoted earlier, then I suggest you put a little more effort into researching and understanding the feminist perspective, *from* their perspective. There are innumerable blogs and vlogs and magazines and such to choose from. I can recommend a few; Shakesville and Tiger Beatdown are both very good. Sady Doyle is a delight, and you can follow her on tumblr and twitter and such (she also contributes to Tiger Beatdown).
Enrich yourself.
Trolls thrive of attention good sir. By pushing back against them you are giving them that attention. If you ignore them they will eventually get bored and move on to something else to troll.
She has something like a dozen films on her youtube channel addressing tropes found specifically in films. Like, a bunch. She even identifies the specific tropes and has episodes dedicated to them, and cites specific examples in movies, even going so far as to identify specific movies in question. The video game angle is only the latest one she wants to investigate.
It helps to do even the most basic amount of research before declaring something like that. Otherwise you might make silly mistakes like this one.
I'll pass. I prefer to spend my time with individuals who don't care about their gender. The type that goes on and on about their sex make me want to vomit. I don't care what your DNA looks like or what genitals you have any more than I care about what shade of white your eyeball is.
Feminism = sexism. If you're not on both teams, I don't care to know ya.
Ah. I apologize for that mistake. I'll be sure to not make an oversight like that in the future. My point still stands though.
But in the meantime, passive observers will note that nobody bothers to oppose them. If viking raiders attack my village and get no resistance, they don't get bored and go home and stop being vikings. They just go right on raiding villages.
It's not like these commentors go "Aw man, being sexist is boring, because all I get when I post sexist stuff online is five million people all posting the same things I said. Being in this very inclusive crowd who agree with me all the time is boring; I think I'm going to switch gears and be nice to people instead."
The 'ignore them and they go away' principle rarely works and does nothing to make this a better society to live in; more to the point it has the opposite effect, of tacitly endorsing people who have these opinions.
This isn't just 'trolling'. This is sexist harassment and it needs to stop, and ignoring it will not accomplish that goal.
She's on almost £60,000 now.
The viking analogy falls apart because theres a difference between a viking raiding party threatening you and an internet tough guy (Unless you play Ultima Online :p). Honestly I believe that most of the commentators are doing it to get a rise out of people. Just report their posts and move on.
Having had some time to slepp on this, I came back to this thread and realised something, something that quite a few people have already pointed out. She was asking for a kickstarted to make this documentory, when at least two groups, Movie Bob and Extra Credits, have done the same thing for free. I cant remember Extra Credits video, but Bob had two Game Overthinkers dedicated to this, one was showing all the bad aspects, and the other showing all the good aspects of female characters in games.
Also, another thought, why doesnt she go after Anime? Thats probably as big of offender, if not bigger, than videogames.
You're kidding yourself. If you refuse to even put in a modicum of effort in engaging in the conversation that's going on, then I'm not sure why you're even here. You don't get the issue and you don't have any interest in learning. You're instead retreating into the "I don't care about gender" bunker, which is made of wet cardboard. You clearly do; you posted in this thread. You're just cornered. I've offered you an opportunity to actually man up and do your homework, and you backed down.
Console yourself in the knowledge that you are in good company. The internet is rich with people who say sexist things and then claim they are anything but sexist. You're like my uncle, who can't start a conversation without saying "Now I don't have any problems with black people, but..."
News flash. You do. You do care about gender, you do say sexist things, even if you don't mean it, and it would make you a better person to understand why.
Because Anime is a niche within a niche. Videogames are mainstream.
I don't know about "equally bad". I do not know of a scale to measure an issue like this, I'm not sure exactly what "bad" is in this context (bad writing? bad for people's self-image? encouraging bad behaviors?). I'm not even sure if there's any real meaning to measuring "bad" in this situation (it isn't concrete in the way the wage gap or criminal sentencing patterns are, after all) or if what we're looking at are really two separate issues at all.
I would, however, argue that the "selfless hero" persona you describe exists as part of a traditional male identity in which self-worth is defined solely by utility to others. I think that this idea encourages harmful behavior in men, including behaviors which are also harmful to women, and represents a real barrier to self actualization. I also think that the fact that our society sees these traditionally masculine traits as "positive" while looking down on traditionally female traits (which include a lot of things I would like to see male characters display more of) is just another part of the problem.
(Face palm) I hate people. I really do.
How much do I care about these kinds of people?
captcha: diddly-squat
Uh, you do recall why Extra Credits left, right? Because they were very much not doing their thing for free and didn't like getting underpaid. Also, in terms of analysis and insight, Feminist Frequency > Extra Credits >>>>> Game Overthinker. Just sayin' :D
By Tropes, does it mean TV Tropes? If it does, it might be the best thing ever.
It doesn't strike you a perhaps reaching a bit far to say that males always being portrayed a selfless heroes who rise to the occasion and bail other people out, at great personal risk, through violent means or not, is a negative stereotype? That depicting rampant altruism actually hurts the male identity?
That's like saying "Depicting men as always being charitable has a negative effect, because it reduces my ability to determine whether or not I want to be charitable." I think you may be reaching; more to the point, I think this may be the most tortured example of a 'positive stereotype that's actually negative' I've ever seen. You learn something new every day.
Why should I care what gender you describe yourself as or how many and of what type your chromosomes are? Neither of them have any bearing at all on what type of person you are. You're talking to a pansexual here. *points to Escapist Gaymers group badge* But feel free to continue to think I have an issue with humans possessing two X chromosomes. The idea is funny in it's inanity.
A little less "women this" and "men that" and a little more seeing us all as humans. If you stop to count the number of women in a movie, you're the only one noticing the genders. Do you also count the number of Australian Aboriginal people in movies? No? Why not? Are you racist? No. You just don't care what race the people are. They're all just... people.
To quote the Extra Credits video on harrassment:
It's not just `13 year old idiots`, it shouldn't be dismissed as such.
Probably because she doesn't speak Japanese, and anything she said would thus be torn apart by people who do. This is because a lot of female-targeted material and work by major female creators doesn't make it into English (although a surprising amount does, and I think the fact that far more women are reading translated Japanese comics than American comics is partially a result of that). There are whole generations of major female creators she wouldn't be able to cover, as well as cultural issues she wouldn't be able to address as well as native Japanese critics already are (no, the stuff they write isn't in English either).
There's a lot more equality in Japanese comics (of which Japanese animation is an offshoot) than in their Western equivalents, both in terms of readers and creators. Marketers are also much more aware of their female audience when it comes to drawing up ads. Because of that, a lot of the usual arguments about issues like sexual objectification fall flat because they go both ways in Japanese media in ways they really don't here. That's not to say there aren't problems, but they are, by and large, different problems that exist in a different context.
So Inception is a guy flick?
Just for your information: Just because this principle works both ways does not mean that it is not an issue.
Yeah, keep your eyes closed and throw all feminists in the same pot as feminazis despite what they actually say.
Oh, to add to the list of concepts you should look up, try "privilege." Because wow.
Can we please not start the "Privilege" Debate. That conversation never goes anywhere nice.
It rarely does, when people are forced to realize things about themselves they'd rather not.
Oh look, MrMan999, with their paperboy title and white, male avatar, doesn't want to talk about privilege.
Was the sarcasm obvious enough? :P
Really? Which video? I just went through what I'm pretty sure is her whole archive and don't remember her specifically mentioning anything. I must have missed one.
I was really asking more specifically about video games. I've certainly read quite a few scholarly pieces on male characters in literature and film, but I don't really see it come up in the gaming community and I feel like it probably should be talked about. Writing about the portrayal of men that I've seen also tends to take a very different approach from things I've read about the portrayal of women, and I often feel that it ends up lacking something as a result. I think the only piece on the subject I've ever really been satisfied with was written by a brilliant French woman (whose name I cannot remember, pronounce, or spell) about classical Greek pottery.
It could be a little more obvious. And show some respect to Captain Harlock. :P
If I reveal to you that I have no idea who that is, will you hit me?
I'm not seeing anything in her demeanor or language that impiles her series is going to be 'this is bad and you should feel bad', more 'here's some things you may not have thought of I hope to educate you about'
She's not here to tell you off or demonise you, she's here to give you new ideas and new ways of looking at things. its not 'STOP DOING THIS!', its 'maybe you could try this?'
Because whenever women point out that they are being mistreated in pop culture or marginalized in society at all, that is a personal attack against me and my manhood. That's me, specifically, by the way. So I have to fight back. For my rights.

One of the most enduring stars of stage and screen, Matthew Broderick has been a part of American film culture for over two decades, alternating between movie roles and the stage. His latest film is "Wonderful World", which is receiving steady critical acclaim as he stars as Ben Singer, a failed children's folk singer, a career proofreader, a compulsive marijuana smoker, and a less-than-extraordinary weekend dad. He's also the most negative man alive.
Floundering in all aspects of his life, Ben's only comfort comes from regular chess games and friendly debates on game theory with his Senegalese roommate Ibou. When Ibou is suddenly struck ill, and an insensitive municipal employee exacerbates the emergency situation, Ben's pessimistic worldview seems unequivocally confirmed.
His only recourse is to pour his energies into a frivolous lawsuit against the city for depraved indifference. But Ben soon finds that cynicism may be all a matter of perspective.
It's a very different character from the more cheerful optimists he had played in the iconic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Producers", but the 47-year old, who is married to Sarah Jessica Parker, loves the challenges he faces at this point in his career, as he explained to Paul Fischer in this exclusive interview.
Question: This is a character that I don't think we've ever seen you play before. Was that part of the attraction of doing this?
Broderick: Yes. You know, the first main attraction was, Josh [Goldin, is a really good friend of mine, who wrote and directed it, but then he sent me the script. Luckily, I loved it. I just thought it was a really nice tale, almost like a fable. Then I think the role did seem sort of new to me. I liked that there's nothing kind of charming, or cute about him, so it has been sort of nice for me not to have to be charming.
Question: In fact he bottles up a lot of his emotions. He's a very closed-off character who doesn't smile. How hard is that to play?
Broderick: Well, it was hard sometimes, because there was also all this voice-over, which isn't in it any more, which just kept saying, " He's the most incredibly negative person that's ever been." So, I was trying to somehow fit in with that. Sometimes it was not easy to match the voice-over, but the scenes were very nicely written. I have all those nice scenes with Michael, the roommate, which I just loved doing and I thought he was so good. So those took care of themselves, because I just enjoyed him. Then also, Sanaa I thought was very good, and it was fun to play romantic scenes. I don't get to do those very often. Even the little girl was really good. I found those scenes very easy to relate to, for some reason, even though I don't have a daughter that age.
Question: But you are a father. So, did you relate to the parental facets of this?
Broderick: Yeah. I think I'm a little sensitive to any story about a father and also, particularly one having trouble with communicating with a kid. That just always kind of gets me, because I'm always concerned about that with my own son.
Question: What are the challenges for you to be offered really interesting adult roles because there's still this perennial youthfulness about you. And I'm just wondering, does that ever score against you, in landing this kind of role?
Broderick: I mean, my hair is basically white. [LAUGHTER] But. I think I'm thought of as a boy. Or – the hard thing, when you've had success as a young person, it's hard to go from one stage to the other. That's always a challenge, you know? So, I'm trying to get to the middle aged parts.
Question: What do you look for as an actor now, that you may not have looked for five or ten years ago?
Broderick: Well, I have to start adjusting to looking. I want more adult things, you know? I'm too old to do Godzilla and things like that. I mean, I can be the scientist who mixes the potion but I can't really be the guy running away from the lizard any more. So, I have to find good roles about boring grown-up problems.
Question: You have divided your career between those sorts of commercial films and indie movies like this one. Do you like to try and find a balance? Do you think the studio films are difficult to come by, the good ones?
Broderick: Very difficult for me to come by lately. I didn't mean to do this many independent films in a row. It's frankly, all I was offered that I liked. But I'm perfectly happy to do a small film, if it's good. I would also be perfectly happy to do a larger film someday, if I can I would love to but I'll do whatever. I'll have to see a little where my career goes. It's sort of not all in my control.
Question: So do you find it frustrating?
Broderick: I am frustrated, but I try not to be too frustrated, because I just really don't ever want to be one of these actors who's complaining. I mean, I can complain a little. But I have been very lucky, and blessed, and I just did a play that I'm still doing that I loved doing. So, I try not to be too negative about that and I don't want to turn into one of those people who's always saying, " How come I'm not playing that part?" It's just a rotten way to live.
Question: But does the theatre continually rejuvenate you?
Broderick: Not every time, but this time it was good.
Question: What's the play you're doing now?
Broderick: I'm doing a play that Kenny Lonergan wrote, and it's a really lovely play. We've had such a good time doing it. So, it's been a nice little rejuvenating time.
Question: Was the last play "The Odd Couple", or was there something after that?
Broderick: No, I did something called "The Philanthropist" between, which didn't work very well.
Question: And in fact, "The Odd Couple" –
Broderick: And "The Odd Couple" was also not really very successful.
Question: Right. I mean, that got a lot of attention, because you two re-teamed, and there was a lot of hype, and all that. Do you think you would not do that again? That you would rather focus on not being in such an overtly commercial property like that?
Broderick: Yes. I think that people were very mad about that. I'm not quite sure why, because I've done Neil Simon plays my whole life and it seemed like a good fit for us, so I don't see why we shouldn't have. But it seemed to bring out a lot of anger. Everybody was trying, but it just didn't come out that well. Sometimes they don't, you know? It sounded good. We weren't doing it just to steal money from people.
Question: Now I guess everybody still thinks of you as Ferris Bueller. Is that a battle that you're happy to retain, or do you get tired of talking about that period of your career?
Broderick: Well for a while, it made me uncomfortable. It sometimes surprises me that that's the only movie anybody seems to know I did. But – on the other hand, now that I'm older, I'm quite proud to have been in a movie that really lasted. It's pretty amazing. Also, I think this year, with John Hughes dying it puts it into perspective that I feel part of something special.
Question: What did you think about his legacy, after his death? I mean, was that something that you thought about?
Broderick: Yeah, I did, a bit. I mean, I couldn't help it. It makes you start thinking about all his movies, and how many good movies, and how many movies that really had a big effect on everything made. You know, he really sort of left his imprint.
Question: Do you know what you're going to be doing, film-wise, after the play?
Broderick: No, I don't. I thought I had a job, and I don't. So now I'm totally out of work. So, I don't know a nice way to put that.
Question: Are you looking for something else?
Broderick: Yes. I need work.
Question: Would you ever consider working with Sarah?
Broderick: Yes, I would if we found the right thing, yeah.

After the successful completion of a sale 2Checkout.com can return the
buyer and sale parameters to a script or page on your site. Specifying an
approved URL at the account level will direct all buyers to the same URL
after a successful checkout. This URL can be entered on the Site Management
page by clicking the Account tab followed by the Site Management sub-category.
An approved URL can also be set at the product level by providing an approved
URL when creating the product, or by clicking the blue Edit icon under the
Actions column for the product on the Products page in your account. Product
level approved URLs override the account level approved URL and can direct the
buyer to a specific location for that product, such as a download page. If
multiple products are ordered the buyer is provided with multiple approved
URLs allowing them to access each product in the sale. Please Note: If
multiple product level approved URLs are used, the buyer will always land on the Order
Processed page with a "Download/Customize" button for each product ordered and
the sale parameters will be returned by GET.
You may also choose to pass the approved URL on the fly by using the
x_receipt_link_url parameter. This parameter will override both product
and account level approved URLs. The value passed must match the domain
registered to the account. This parameter has a few very specific behaviors
that should be paid attention so that it can be used effectively.
2Checkout.com provides three methods in which the buyer and sale parameters
can be returned to your approved URL. You may send the buyer to our order
processed page which will display a Click Here to Finalize your Order button to redirect the
buyer, you may bypass the order processed page using a header redirect or
you can immediately display your approved URL to the buyer while they
remain on our server. Your return method can be selected on the Site
Management page.
With the Return Method set to Given links back to my website, the buyer
will be taken to our Order Processed page after completing a successful
purchase. This page will feature a Click Here to Finalize your Order button. When clicked
the buyer and collected sale parameters will be directed to the provided
approved URL by POST.
With the Return Method set to Direct Return, sale parameters will be posted
automatically to the approved URL while fetched by our server and displayed to
the buyer. When using this Direct Return function the URL will be masked to
the buyer, appearing to still be on the 2Checkout.com domain. This method
can be used with redirects as long as each page outputs content more than 255
characters to the browser. If Direct Return encounters a page that redirects
without outputting content the process will fail and the buyer will be sent
to our standard Order Processed page. This occurs usually with a header
redirect, specifically content less then 255 characters. This is a common
issue as many developers will set their approved URL to a script that
processes the return sales parameters then silently forwards the buyer to
another page. This is usually a thank you or download page for intangible
products. The best solution is to handle all post-order processing on the page
set as your approved URL, including the thank you message. If no redirects are
used, meaning the URL is masked by our servers, then relative links will not
point to the correct location. This can be corrected with the use of absolute
paths on the approved URL page or by simply using a base tag in the head of
the document to provide a reference for the relative paths.
With the Return Method set to Header Redirect the buyer will be immediately
returned to your approved URL. Using this method, the sale parameters will be
returned along with the buyer using the GET method.
If you are returning the buyer to a script on your end it is important to
note that parameter information will typically be returned by POST. Parameters
however will be returned by GET if either the Header Redirect method is
selected or the Plug-and-Play parameter set is used and the approved URL is
defined at the product level. Thus if you are using a product level approved
URL your return script should be able to handle both methods without breaking.
Please Note: You must also have a script set up as the return URL if you wish
to receive the pass back information. If your return URL ends in any of the
following extensions, then pass back will NOT occur, but the buyer will
still be returned there : .htm, .html, .com, .zip, .pdf, .rar, .doc
If you have problems with the return process you're welcome to contact us at
firstname.lastname@example.com to assist with troubleshooting the issue.
Please Note: If you do not specify an approved URL at the account level,
product level, or with the x_receipt_link_url parameter the buyer will
remain on the 2Checkout Order Processed page upon completion of the order.
