Non-Clonetroversial Oracle Data Cloning
When the average person hears of cloning, my bet is that they think of the controversy and ethical issues surrounding cloning, such as the cloning of Dolly the sheep, or the possible cloning of humans by a mad geneticist in a rogue nation state. I would also put money down that when an Informatica blog reader thinks of cloning they think of "The Matrix" or "Star Wars" (that dreadful episode II Attack of the Clones). I did. Unfortunately.
But my pragmatic expectation is that when Informatica customers think of cloning, they also think of Data Cloning software. Data Cloning software clones terabytes of database data into a host of other databases, data warehouses, analytical appliances, and Big Data stores such as Hadoop. And just for hoots and hollers, you should know that almost half of all Data Integration efforts involve replication, be it snapshot or real-time, according to TDWI survey data. Survey also says… replication is the second most popular — or second most used — data integration tool, behind ETL.
Cloning should be easy and very natural. It's an important part of life (at your job). However, we can all admit that it is also a process that causes many a headache and ruins many a relationship.
Do your company's cloning tools work with non-standard types? Know that Informatica cloning tools can reproduce Oracle data to just about anything on 2 tuples (or more). We do non-discriminatory duplication, so it's no wonder we especially fancy cloning the Oracle! (a thousand apologies for the bad "Matrix" pun)
Just remember that data clones are an important and natural component of business continuity, and the use cases span both operational and analytic applications. So if you're not cloning your Oracle data safely and securely with the quality results that you need and deserve, it's high time that you get some better tools.
Send in the Clones
With that in mind, if you haven't tried to clone before, for a limited time, Informatica is making Fast Clone database cloning trial software product available for a free download. Click here to get it now.

Nat Turner
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Nat Turner (2 October 1800 – 11 November 1831) was an enslaved African man who led a 1831 rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia.
The Confessions of Nat Turner (1831)[edit]
- The Confessions of Nat Turner, The Leader of the Late Insurrections in Southampton, Va. As fully and voluntarily made to Thomas R. Gray (1831)
- And my father and mother strengthened me in this my first impression, saying in my presence, I was intended for some great purpose, which they had always thought from certain marks on my head and breast.
- My grand mother, who was very religious, and to whom I was much attached — my master, who belonged to the church, and other religious persons who visited the house, and whom I often saw at prayers, noticing the singularity of my manners, I suppose, and my uncommon intelligence for a child, remarked I had too much sense to be raised – and if I was, I would never be of any service to any one – as a slave.
- The manner in which I learned to read and write, not only had great influence on my own mind, as I acquired it with the most perfect ease, so much so, that I have no recollection whatever of learning the alphabet
- Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer.
- I was struck with that particular passage which says: "Seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you."
- And about this time I had a vision — and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened – the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams – and I heard a voice saying, "Such is your luck, such you are called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it."
- For as the blood of Christ had been shed on this earth, and had ascended to heaven for the salvation of sinners, and was now returning to earth again in the form of dew - and as the leaves on the trees bore the impression of the figures I had seen in the heavens, it was plain to me that the Saviour was about to lay down the yoke he had borne for the sins of men, and the great day of judgement was at hand.
Quotes about Turner[edit]
- Although they confiscated horses, weapons, and brandy, they took only what was necessary to continue the struggle, and they committed no rapes. They even spared a few homesteads, one because Turner believed the poor white inhabitants "thought no better of themselves than they did of negroes."
- Stephen B. Oates in "Children of Darkness"
- What strikes us as the most remarkable thing in this matter is the horrible ferocity of these monsters.
- A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent and vindicative, after having witnessed the atrocities committed against slaves and himself.
- The Richmond Enquirer (30 August 1831)

About this course
Course Summary
Have an idea that you cannot get out of your head? It's time to make it a reality! This course is tailored for those who already have an idea for a start-up and want to learn from seasoned experts about all the areas you need to think of before starting-up. Muhammad Yunus, Scilla Elworthy, Jean-Remy von Matt and 34 other leaders share their secrets to success in the DO School Start-Up Lab. Stop wondering, start DOing!
When does the course start?
The course will go live with chapter 1 on the 28th June 2014 at 3.45 pm (GMT+1). Chapter 2 will be activated on the 8th July and from then on another chapter on Tuesday every week until the final chapter opens on the 26th August, 2014.
What will I learn?
- Have a clear idea about the societal relevance and value added by their venture and a plan for maximizing their social impact
- Have consolidated the project and resource planning for their venture
- Have developed their revenue model and financing strategy and taken first steps to fundraising for their venture
- Have defined their legal and organizational requirements and taken the first steps towards the set-up of their organization
- Have defined their human resource strategy and needs and taken action to meet them
- Know what is unique about their venture and how they communicate it to their target groups
What do I have to know?
No specific skills are required other than passion for an issue or opportunity that you want to address for the better of your society. However, this course is ideal for people who already have a concrete start-up idea as it supports the actual implementation of relevant first steps in implementing such an idea. It doesn't matter whether you want to create a not-for-profit or for-profit venture. If you don't have a concrete idea yet, the course will be valuable to distill your idea and find out about what it takes to start-up successfully.
If you really work on implementing your venture idea, we expect you to commit at least 12 hours a week in order to complete the course materials, make use of the worksheets and do the necessary research and work to start implementing your venture. If you just take the course as a primer and because you think about starting something up soon, you will need about 3-4 hours minimum per week.
Do I get a certificate?
Students can earn the official Statement of Participation by completing at least 80% of the course requirements.

Newburn, Walbottle & Throckley
Newburn lies on the banks of the River Tyne to the west of Newcastle and is home to about 10,000 people. It was the site of Spencer's Steelworks, which employed 1,500 people before closing in 1926. Newburn has good links to the A1 and Newcastle. It was badly affected by flooding in summer 2012 when rain caused serious damage to buildings. Walbottle and Throckley are nearby areas.

Latest Airline Terror Threat: People Who Read Books
Rocker Rollins reported for thought crime
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | February 17 2006
The latest example of airline security gone insane is provided by rock star and stand-up comedian Henry Rollins, who was recently reported to the Australian government for reading a book on an aeroplane.
The Australian Daily Telegraph reports,
"US rocker and writer Henry Rollins was reported to the National Security hotline during his recent Australian tour because of a book he was reading on flight to Brisbane."
"A furious Rollins was informed he was "nominated as a possible threat" for reading Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia."
"The incident happened on a flight from Auckland on the recent Big Day Out tour."
Rollins (pictured above) then received a letter from the Australian government warning him not to read such books in future. His response was to post the letter on his website and tell the Australian government to "go f***k themselves."
Last month we highlighted the case of Margaret Jackson, CEO of Quantas Airlines, who was detained by the TSA at Los Angeles airport for having aircraft diagrams in her bag.
Pregnant white women, senators and 4-year-old boys have also recently been subject to the joys of airport security.
With programs afoot to introduce the same measures to train and subway stations in both the US and the UK, horror stories of this nature will only increase in regularity.
In the UK, London subway passengers will be forced to stand in an 8 foot metal tank and have their entire body scanned. The London bombings, irrefutably carried out with the aid of the highest rungs of the British intelligence establishment, were the paper tiger the government needed to crack the whip against an increasingly skeptical population.
To this day we still have a situation where not one item of cargo that enters the plane is inspected but Grandpa has to remove his shoes because he might be a suicide bomber. Even Playmobile have got in on the act by releasing a security check-in toy, brainwashing children into accepting routine violations of their 4th amendment as normal.
Airport security is non-existent because it is directed at innocent people just trying to go about their business. Screeners are trained not to profile for fear of discrimination. How many white pregnant women, 4-year-old boys, famous rock stars and senators have hijacked planes in the last few decades?

Diversity Statement
Commitment to Diversity
Cedarville University actively seeks to attract and serve a diverse group of Christian employees and students who exercise their spiritual calling to be agents of reconciliation; pursuing unity, peace, and community in an atmosphere that recognizes our union in Christ and celebrates the contributions of all who seek to follow Christ.
Diversity and Mission
According to our mission statement, "Cedarville University is a Christ-centered learning community equipping students for lifelong leadership and service through an education marked by excellence and grounded in biblical truth."
The Cedarville University Diversity Statement supplements our mission statement by articulating our commitment to be a diverse Christian university, known for our unity in Christ, our love for all who bear His image, and our commitment to biblical community. The purpose of this statement is to help Cedarville University fulfill its mission by equipping its faculty, staff, and students to respond biblically to the challenges and opportunities inherent in a diverse culture.
Biblical Foundations for Diversity
Cedarville University's approach to diversity is built upon the following biblical themes:
- Creation
Diversity, as we have defined it, is a demonstration of God's intention and divine order for humankind. It serves as a positive reflection of God's creative and sovereign hand, contributing to our learning and enhancing our enjoyment of community. (Genesis 1:27)
- Imago Dei
Imago Dei refers to the biblical doctrine that all people, regardless of race, gender, varying degrees of physical ability, or socioeconomic class are created to bear the image of God. Therefore, a biblical understanding of diversity celebrates the value of all human beings as image bearers with God-given worth and dignity. Imago dei extends to people of other faiths, and to those whose viewpoints or beliefs are hostile to Christianity; therefore, all people are to be treated with respect and dignity. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 9:6; 2 Corinthians 3:18)
- Consequences of the Fall.
Sin has had ruinous consequences for humankind, introducing conflict, disunity, injustice, oppression, and a breakdown of the human community. Scripture gives abundant evidence that sin is not only personal but also corporate; sinful individuals with access to power can use that power corporately to structure society and its institutions in ways that favor the powerful at the expense of the powerless. (Isaiah 10:1-2; Amos 2:7; Amos 5:10-15)
- Biblical Pattern of Redemption and Reconciliation
Sin separates all people from God and leaves all equally in need of redemption. God offers redemption to all who will believe in Christ, making no distinctions based on race, gender, ethnicity, ability, age, or socioeconomic level. Within the body of Christ there is no hierarchy of value based upon these areas of difference. This pattern of redemption, reconciliation, and equality is evident in the work of Jesus Christ and the life of the early church. (Mark 16:15, Luke 24:47; Acts 10:27-28, 34-35; Acts 15; Galatians 2:6-14; Ephesians 2:17-18; I Corinthians 12:12-20)
- Biblical Ethic of Love
The biblical ethic of love is one of the defining marks of all true followers of Christ. This ethic calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, love our enemies, greet strangers, help those in need, and treat others as we would like to be treated. Obedience to Christ requires that we intentionally live according to this ethic. (Psalm 82:3; Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 10:25-37; John 13:34-35; Ephesians 4:1-6)
- Narratives About Heaven
The future family of God is described as containing people of every nation, tribe, people, and language — worshiping together, united in Jesus Christ. Racial and ethnic differences in heaven are not erased, rather they remain intact as together we ascribe glory, honor, and praise to Jesus Christ. The fact that heaven is repeatedly described in this manner is evidence of the importance that God places on unified worship among diverse people. (Revelation 5:9-10) Personal redemption begins the process of restoring individuals and healing the communities in which we live. Once redeemed, we are called to be ministers of reconciliation — living according to an ethic of love, actively engaged in acts of mercy, forgiveness, restitution, and justice. Corporately, we should also apply the redemptive power of the Gospel to institutions that have been corrupted by sin, increasing the degree to which they reflect biblical values and priorities such as love, gentleness, peace, kindness, self-sacrifice, and self-control.
Diversity and Unity at a Christ-Centered Learning Community
Cedarville University is a local community of learners. We function as one context of the body of Christ. Within this context, we strive to live with one another in unity, peace, and righteousness. Our ability to fully demonstrate these qualities of Christian community is limited by the extent to which we resemble the breadth of God's family. Recognizing that unity is not uniformity, and based on the diversity that we witness in the body of Christ, we believe that greater diversity at Cedarville University enhances the educational experience by providing a better context for demonstrating the unifying power of the Gospel. It also better equips all our students for success in the increasingly global and diverse workplace that awaits them.
As a Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville University has a calling that is higher than tolerance, superficial compliance, or obligation. Our goal is purposeful transformation to the image of Christ. Rather than embracing concepts like tolerance, we are called to build Christian community. Such a community should model the reality of the body of Christ, inclusive of diverse people of God using varied gifts for God's glory. The policies and values of such a Christ-centered University should reflect the biblical mandate to be ministers of reconciliation, and to bring about genuine unity within a diverse world.

Our target audiences are small to medium-sized companies looking for a website priced moderate to high.
It needs to be a professional looking website with a high-end art appeal. I'd like to have the logo at the top, and I'd like the tree character to be fairly big and to the right of the content, pointing towards the content or maybe under the content holding it up. (both images are attached, the "W" tree is the logo). The menu needs to be easy to navigate through and stylish.
The title would be home. Be creative when it comes to buttons and stuff like that.

The homicide shooting last month in which a 43-year-old man was murdered outside his Burbank home was "not a random act," police Sgt. Darin Ryburn said Wednesday.
Burbank police have remained tight-lipped about their investigation into the death of Antwan "Tony" Haroun, who was shot multiple times outside his apartment building just before 11 p.m. on Oct. 10 as he returned home from work.
No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made, according to Ryburn.
"It's a murder investigation so there is a lot of work," he said. "We're using all our law enforcement utilities to conduct the murder investigation."
A neighbor described hearing four gun shots echo through the stairwell. He hunkered down and locked his place, and soon after, said he hear "blood-curling screams."
After being shot, Haroun was transported to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
He was described by a neighbor as a barber who enjoyed barbecues on his porch with his wife, children and large extended family.
The shooting death was the first homicide in Burbank since early 2009, when there were two murders -- one in January and one in February.

The N-TAC flipper is an 'Entry Level' Ferrum Forge knife. Lest you misunderstand, this knife is anything but ordinary; it is a bona fide rock-star-of-a-knife with an exquisite build and high tolerances. The 'Entry Level' appellation merely references the non-customized nature of this limited run of knives.
Based off of the Mordax flipper, the N-TAC knife offers a smaller footprint while carrying over the design cues and performance of its predecessor. There are four handle patterns available on the N-TAC series. This one has a plain titanium handle with a gray tumbled finish and blue anodized titanium pivot, clip, and spacer. The full length swedge drop point blade is Bohler N690 steel with a stonewash finish and flipper opener. The N-TAC has a very high blade to handle ratio, i.e. it has a long blade length for such a compact handle.
As with other FFKW knives, the N-TAC is outfitted with a steel lock insert/internal overtravel arrestor, H.R.D. (Hoback Rolling Detent), and caged thrust bearings.

Beyonce Explains Why She Axed Her Dad as Her Manager in 2011
Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, began managing her career from the beginning, so when she gave him the axe in 2011, it came as a shock.
Everyone expected drama and for their personal, father-daughter relationship to sour because of it. The singer has come clean about why they parted ways on a business level, after remaining notoriously mum on the topic.
When the time came to sever ties as manager and client, the fiercely independent Beyonce chose to do so in order to become dad and daughter again. "When you're trying to have an everyday conversation with your family you have to talk about scheduling and you have to talk about your album and performing and touring," she said. "It's just too stressful and it really affects your relationship…. I wanted my dad."

It is a photorealistic scenery for day and night / summer - covering the
whole area of Juneau. Flights around this area are very spectacular and
entertaining. Mountains and ice are very much part of this scenery even though
it is a summer scenery! The scenery resolution is 1.2 m / pix - to ensure that
all users benefit from the high frame rates. Installation is simple. Fully
compatible with FSX SP1 - SP2 - Acceleration.
Juneau was named after gold prospector Joe Juneau, though the place was for a
time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris-several books credit the Tlingit Chief Kowee with showing these
prospectors where the gold was). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzantik 'i
Heeni "river where the flounders gather", and Auke Bay just north of Juneau
proper is called Aak'w "little lake" in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of
Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from
the mountains. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet
(4.9 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop
these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30
glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier,
are visible from the local road system; the Mendenhall glacier has been
generally retreating; its front face is declining both in width and height.
The current Alaska State Capitol is an office building in downtown Juneau,
originally built as the Federal and Territorial Building in 1931. Originally
housing federal government offices, the federal courthouse, and a post office,
it became the home of the Alaska Legislature and the offices for the governor of
Alaska and lieutenant governor of Alaska. Through the years, there has been
discussion on relocating the seat of state government and building a new
capitol, without significant development.

A significant part (perhaps 20-30%) of the "as delivered" cost of electricity is the amount you pay for the transmission and distribution system (all those HV power lines, etc.), which is, again, somewhat regulated (or at least, the past pricing data is readily available, by law and regulation). The significant exception to this might be if you co-locate with an independent generator of power, in which case there's no interconnection to the grid. But, even in this case, if your generator interties with the rest of the system, so you're not the only customer, then your supply will be affected by the fluctations in the supply and demand on the overall grid. In general, the price that a generator is paid is almost totally unregulated (unlike retail rates, which is what caused the problems in California a few years back), and so, while you may be able to negotiate a very low price for power for some times of day, etc., you'll probably also get a "interruptible load" clause in the contract, or you'll have to pay high rates at other times.

What she said.
ADoB, which started life as the musings of a New York barfly and home mixo-geek, is returning to its roots. To say this came as a surprise is an understatement. As of just this previous Friday, we thought we were staying in Providence, albeit it at a new address.
To say we're excited is another understatement. Providence has a growing craft-cocktail scene, and I'm proud of the small role I played in that. Jen and I had opportunities here that might not have come our way had we stayed in NYC. But New York is a better scene for us, honestly, a place where Jen and I can both explore our passions for great food and drink and pursue a greater level of professional pursuit.
Cheers, Providence, and thanks. We made friends here we'll never forget, and we know how easy the Amtrak trip is. We'll be back, whether you want us or not.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - There was a time when the U.S. National Security Agency was so secretive that government officials dared not speak its name in public. NSA, the joke went, stood for "No Such Agency."
That same agency this month held an on-the-record conference call with reporters, issued a lengthy press release to rebut a newspaper story, and posted documents on a newly launched open website - icontherecord.tumblr.com (which stands for intelligence community on the record).
The steps were taken under pressure as President Barack Obama's administration tries to calm a public storm over disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that the surveillance agency and its British counterpart scoop up far more Internet and phone data than previously known.
The NSA's moves out of the shadows were meant to show that it operates lawfully and fixes mistakes when they are detected, but not everyone is convinced that it is a fundamental shift toward more openness at the intelligence agencies.
Some steps toward openness were unprecedented.
The government for the first time released opinions - previously labeled Top Secret - from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which never publicly airs its decisions on the electronic eavesdropping and communications collection by the NSA.
The move came despite resistance from some Justice Department lawyers and some NSA and CIA officials concerned about the amount of unredacted material going public in the three FISA Court opinions released, U.S. sources told Reuters.
In the end, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made the decision on how much material was released from the previously secret court opinions.
"There is no disagreement across the community with regard to whether or not we need to be more transparent and it is just a question of determining how far we can safely go," Shawn Turner, DNI spokesman, said.
Obama and other officials have said the NSA surveillance programs are lawful, have been approved by Congress and the FISA Court, and are aimed at detecting and disrupting terrorist plots.
The FISA court said the NSA may unintentionally have collected as many as 56,000 emails of Americans a year from 2008 to 2011 and may have violated the Constitution before adjustments were made.
Some analysts said intelligence agencies had not necessarily entered a brand new world of public displays of information.
"I wouldn't call it a seismic shift towards a greater transparency. The federal government put these documents out under duress," said Darrell West, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
"The problem is they just keep releasing materials bit by bit and so the scandal never goes away."
Recent efforts by U.S. intelligence agencies to appear more open follow earlier comments by top-level officials that in hindsight raised questions of veracity.
Clapper was asked at a congressional hearing in March whether the NSA collected any type of data on millions of Americans to which he responded: "No sir."
After the Snowden revelations were published in June, Clapper told NBC his response at the hearing had been given in the "most truthful, or least untruthful, manner."
General Keith Alexander, director of the NSA, told Reuters in May that the agency had no interest in reading the emails of U.S. citizens, and quipped: "The great irony is we're the only ones not spying on the American people."
Government officials are loath to say that Snowden's disclosures prompted greater openness, but analysts say it did have an effect.
"The amount of knowledge that people now have about what NSA does means that we can't simply pretend it doesn't exist. That's where Snowden changed things," said James Lewis, a senior fellow, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
To make the disclosed NSA programs palatable to the public, more openness is required, he said. "There is a link between transparency and accountability and political acceptance."
Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the organization was pleased with the recent release of documents and hoped the government would release more in the coming weeks.
But it should not be viewed as a huge shift toward transparency by the administration, said Jaffer, whose group has also sued the federal government for more information on its use of unmanned drones.
"In fact, on the same day the president promised more transparency on surveillance issues, the CIA filed a brief in one of our 'targeted killing' cases arguing that it could not release legal memos about the drone program, could not release civilian casualty numbers, and for that matter could not even acknowledge that the agency had played any role in targeted killings," Jaffer said.

Time for a trust metric enabled wikipedia?
I see that Wikipedia is having some well-publicized troubles with vandalism and the like. This will be a somewhat bittersweet response.
The success of wikis has taken a lot of people by surprise, but I think I get it now. The essence of wiki nature is to lower the barrier to making improvements to content. The vast majority of access-controlled systems out there err strongly on the side of making it too hard. The idea of a wiki is to err on the side of making it too easy, and to lessen the pain (somewhat) of undoing the damage when that turns out to be a mistake. In cases where that doesn't work out, I think the solution is to make the decision process of whether to grant write access a bit more precise, so you can still err on the side of trusting too much, but you don't have to err quite as often or as badly.
In that regard, the trust metrics designed and implemented for Advogato are a near-perfect match for the needs of a Wikipedia-like project, but for the most part, nobody is paying much attention to my ideas. Yes, I am bitter about that. I've written them up in a howto and some draft papers, arguably not as polished a presentation as the ideas deserve, but still comprehensible to somebody motivated to understand them. I've implemented them and released the code under GPL. That implementation is too tied to the somewhat quirky mod_virgule design, but adapting and modifying is what free software is all about, no?
So I haven't exactly gift-wrapped the trust metrics and presented them to the world on a silver platter, but they're not sitting at the bottom of a locked file cabinet in the basement of the local planning commission either. With Google now worth a brazillion dollars, due in large part on the success of their eigenvector-based trust metric, and with the problems of spam and abuse showing few signs of just going away on their own, you'd think there'd be more interest in creative, high-tech solutions to the problem.
Let's say for the sake of argument that there's a 50% chance that I'm a raving moron when it comes to this stuff, that my belief that a trust metric would go a long way to solving problems such as Wikipedia's is just plain wrong. Say there's also a 50% chance that there are practical problems I don't forsee, so, while the basic ideas might be valid, they just won't work on a project like Wikipedia. Of course, you can dispute the exact numbers, but that leaves something like a 25% chance that it really would be worthwhile for someone to invest the time and energy into making it happen. How much is Wikipedia worth to people? How much is the idea of decentralized collaboration, especially so that you don't have to rely on "content serfdom" to get the good stuff?
Of course, the Free Software Way(TM) would be for me to pick up a shovel, dig in, and implement a trust metric enabled wiki myself. Well, pardon me for ranting, but in this case I believe the FSW is just plain dysfunctional. A large part of the reason I'm reluctant to invest much more of my own time and energy is the tepid reaction to the work I've put in so far. How is it that a community can generate dozens of IRC clients, me-too distributions, window managers, and PHP bbs engines, and yet leave the development and implementation of the Advogato trust metrics almost completely ignored?
Wow, even I am amazed at the intensity of that rant. I did say this post would be "bittersweet", but so far it's been pretty much all bitter. The sweet part is basically that I have faith that, in time, the Advogato trust metrics will be understood and implemented as widely as deserved based on their ability to resist abuse. Free software development, in particular, operates on a pretty slow clock. My last post contains a striking example - the roughly many year lag between my release of a prototype watercolor simulator and the inclusion of the ideas in an actively developed app.
And already, I see some tentative signs of that. The Wikipedia development boards have some discussion of "trust metrics," although I don't see much evidence they actually understand the power of Advogato's. Additionally, there is some academic work starting to build on my own, including Paolo Massa's evaluations of the various extant trust metrics, and Daniel Stewart's "Social Status in an Open-Source Community", published very recently in the American Sociological Review.
And who knows, maybe even this post, despite the bittersweet tone, will inspire someone to take another look at my trust metric ideas. Hopefully somebody who has the technical ability to implement something a little more sophisticated than the usual PHP hash, and whose idealism about free culture and individual-centered web content has not become quite as jaded as my own. If someone out there were to do a nice job implementing an attack-resistant wiki, that would do wonders for reinforcing my faith in the community.

This week's "Photo of the Week" comes to us from Michael Gross, who serves as the official photographer at the U.S. Department of State. In this photograph, Gross captures Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama with the 2012 International Women of Courage Award winners: Maryam Durani, Kandahar Provincial Council Member (Afghanistan); Major Pricilla de Oliveira Azevedo, police officer, Rio de Janeiro Military Police (Brazil); Zin Mar Aung, political activist and NGO co-founder (Burma); Jineth Bedoya Lima, investigative journalist (Colombia); Hana Elhebshi, architect and political activist (Libya); Aneesa Ahmed, gender-based violence (GBV) activist and former Deputy Minister of Women's Affairs (Maldives); Shad Begum, human rights activist and founder/executive director of Anjuman Behbood-e-Khawateen Talah (the Union of Women's Welfare) (Pakistan); Samar Badawi, political activist (Saudi Arabia); Hawa Abdallah Mohammed Salih, human rights activist (Sudan); and Safak Pavey, Member of Parliament (Turkey). The prestigious Secretary of State's Award for International Women of Courage annually recognizes women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk.
Secretary Clinton said, "Whether pushing for change in the halls of government in the Maldives, the courts of Saudi Arabia; whether making sure women have a voice in Libya's future and a role in Pakistan's government; whether enduring imprisonment or abuse for trying to assist other women and girls at risk, these women, who you will meet today, are all making a difference in the face of adversity, often under the threat of violence that is sometimes hard for those of us here in Washington or across our great country even to imagine. And while we honor them today, we know that tomorrow their work will and must continue so that every woman and girl someday will have the opportunity to live up to her own God-given potential.
"As I often say, this isn't just the right thing to do; it is also the smart thing to do. Improving the lives of women improves the lives of their families, strengthens their communities, and does create more opportunities for economic growth and prosperity. We know that investing in women's employment, health, and education levels leads to greater economic growth across a broad spectrum. It also leads to healthier children and a better educated population overall. We know that political systems that are open to full participation by women produce more effective institutions and more representative governments. And we know that the work that so many of you do will be done day after day as it moves us closer and closer to realizing the vision of equality...As long as you are on the front lines of this struggle, the United States will be with you, and we will use every tool at our disposal to help you."
In closing, the Secretary said, "Well, I don't know about you, but I always come away from this event not only inspired, but also challenged. Because after all, we must ask ourselves, "What are we doing? What are we doing to further justice and dignity and freedom, human rights and women's rights? What more can we do? And we have different talents. We are at different stages in life. But each of us can make a contribution. And I hope that when you think about what is possible for you, you will remember these women and their stories."

John in Canada writes:
When we learn to respect women we will find peace.
For those that beat the drums of war and conflict - remember your mothers; your daughters; your wives.
All you need to do is hear the cry of a mother that has lost their child. There is nothing in this world like it. To hear it at the moment the loss is felt - it shakes you to the core. It is never forgotten.
The cry is the same in every culture, religion and belief.
It is the cry for life found only in the death of one who gives life.
Good luck in these endeavors - many paths lead to the same place.
Katy in Arizona writes:
It is empowering to see such a strong group of women together. It is the responsibility of women in power to reach out to other women to provide the tools needed to improve their lives. This posting inspires all women (not just award winners) to help other women. This is meeting and photo op is a great way to bring awareness to the public of the many issues women across the globe face.
Maureen in Massachusetts writes:
So...I'll have what she's (they're) having because that's 100% inspiration. I'm not sure what stage Secretary Clinton is at but it lies somewhere between Quadrennial Diplomacy and 21 Century Statecraft and that's a pretty good stage to be at if you ask me!

These women are the epitome of courage. I feel they show us the world can change. I cannot thank them enough for their efforts on behalf of women everywhere.

Last week, for the Pinisher theme "Adventures" I featured my daughter's barn wedding reception, specifically how we decorated the barn entrance. This week the Pinisher theme is "Family" and, sure enough, I can fit the wedding into that theme too.
Dorian, the inventer of the Pinisher link-up says in her host post that we are free to post about "things we did a few weeks ago." Let's see: it's been 85 weeks since the wedding. I say it's close enough. Seems just like yesterday!
On to the pin. We wanted to display wedding photos of the bride and groom's parents and grandparents. As I was browsing around Pinterest I pinned this clothespin + string method of hanging photos:
We decided to do our own rustic version.
I gathered the photos and asked the groom's parents to do the same. I actually ordered the twine and the clothespins from Amazon (got my free shipping's worth of my Prime membership). I found the weathered blue board stashed in a dark corner of the barn. The table held the seating assignments and the wedding favors (wooden apple bottle openers woodburned with the bride & groom's initials)
Up until minutes before the wedding began the photos from our side of the family were missing. The groom's side came through - wedding photos of his parents and his maternal and paternal grandparents were hanging from their respective clothespins. But ours were stuck in farmhouse and I was running around busy with other matters. The photos were missing when the photographer took photos of the barn just before the wedding:
Jessica Claire who took the photo up top, and above and below)
The situation was looking a little dire, but I finally was able to fish out the photos and hand them off to my nephew who tore down the lane to the barn in our rented golf cart and hung them just as I had
Everyone loved seeing the family weddings pinned up at the entrance to the reception.
For more "family" pinterest fun, head over to Dorian's Pinisher link-up.

Last second decides game
Caledonia kick ends season for Moose Lake-Willow River
Whether it be on the flood plane trying to save the sewer pumps, hockey rink and school, pumping iron endlessly in the summer, or voluntarily staying after practice to flip tractor tires on the once-submerged baseball field, the Rebels boys have been and always will be forever a football family and great citizens and champions of their community.
Head Coach Dave Louzek's boys turning to fine young men brought home their third runner-up hardware in a four-year period to set themselves ahead of other football accomplishments by any other group of guys in Moose Lake-Willow River history.
The 13-1 Rebels got their "one team, one dream" opportunity to play for a Prep Bowl Championship at the Metrodome on November 23 against the now three-peat 14-0 Caledonia Warriors. The Rebels had done their work, sacrificed their blood and sweat, and were ready for the Warriors. Right before the game, each player quietly examined their souls or prepared themselves as however they might, from listening to soft music laying in the locker room to the head banging often heard at practices. The team listened to a brief sports psychology talk on sacrificing to be successful right before taking to the field.
It certainly did not end in a the 27-0 tally of last year's game. This game, in which the Rebels kept stemming the tide all the way in, at one time lead 7-6 in the first quarter and 22-15 in the third quarter, went down to a one-second 24-yard field goal as Caledonia literally escaped with a 25-22 win with no time left on the clock. The two main determining factors in the game came down to time of possession and field position, first down and third down conversions.
The total time of possession at the end of the game had been 27:47 to 20:13. The average field position had been 43 to 22. The first downs had been 15-6. The third down conversions had been 8 of 17 to 5 of 13. The fourth down conversions had been 2 of 3 to 0 of 0. All these important stats had been in Caledonia's columns. Caledonia had 196 to 149 for net yards rushing. Caledonia had 131 net yards passing. The Rebels had 84 yards net passing. Caledonia had 327 yards of total offense and had run 66 plays, while the Rebels had 233 total offensive yards and 43 total offensive plays.
Moose Lake-Willow River won the first quarter time of possession at 6:44 to 5:16 and the third down conversions at 2-4 versus 1-2, despite Caledonia winning the first down battle at 3-2. Neither team had a fourth down attempt. The Rebels rushed 12 times for 28 yards while the Warriors ran the ball seven times for 19 yards. Caledonia came out firing with 3-for-8 passing with 31 yards, but with one interception by Ben Moonen that would set up ML-WR's touchdown on a two-yard sprint to inside the left pylon by D1 recruit Jake Disterhaupt. Moonen's perfect extra-point kick lifted ML-WR to a 7-6 lead at 2:12. Caledonia had earlier scored on a one-yard submarine under the middle by Brad Strub, but as Mason Ashbacher's kick was pulled way wide right it was 6-0 for the Warriors at 7:38.
The hard fought second quarter that featured only a field goal for the Warriors was a tribute to the Rebels' defense as they were on the field for 7:32 compared to 4:28 of time of possessions for ML-WR. Warrior Levi Schmitz's boomer sailed high and well into the net for a 36-yarder and a 9-7 Warriors lead at 7:06. Caledonia went 3-for-6 on third down conversions while the Rebels went 0-for-3 on that stat. Again, neither team attempted a fourth-down conversion. The Warriors rushed the ball 14 times for 68 yards while the Rebels got only six rushing attempts and gained only 14 yards. The Warriors attempted only 2-for-4 passing for 61 yards and no interceptions and their last attempt took just that one play as it went from quarterback Alex Varney to Strub for 25 yards. The Warriors switched it up and brought in Schmitz to kick the PAT, but Rebel Disterhaupt zipped around from the right side, stretched out on the lunge and solidly blocked the kick for 15-7, rather than 16-7 Caledonia. The Rebels would later be able to stand up under adversity to score 15 unanswered third quarter points, including a huge two-point conversion, to knot the game at 15-15 and then take what looked to be good momentum with a 22-15 lead into the fourth frame.
What the Rebels were able to do in the third quarter was against the odds in terms of time of possession as Caledonia possessed the ball for 6:48 to 5:07. ML-WR, though, converted on two of three third downs and really showcased their ability to run and throw the ball for large yards. The Rebels ran nine times for 95 yards. One of those runs covered a cut and a broken tackle through the right side by Disterhaupt that covered 71 yards for a electrifying TD. Rebel Michael Pender went in almost untouched and the Rebels had deadlocked it 15-15 at 6:50 with the four-play drive covering 86 yards and taking only 1:46 off the clock. The pass for lead would be next. Tony Adamczak caught Isaac Coil virtually all alone down the left side and Coil used his speed for the rest. The kick by Moonen was true and ML-WR was up 22-15 at 2:41. The drive had covered only three plays and 87 yards. The Rebels had converted two of three third downs to Caledonia's zero of two. Neither team had a fourth down attempt. The Rebels had won the passing game at 1-for-1 for 84 yards and no interception and one touchdown while the Warriors went 2-for-2 for 29 yards, but no scores.
The Rebels would start the final frame with tough field position but would stem the tide. Varney cracked off a rush for 14 to ML-WR's 31 for a first and Rebel Pender stropped. Warrior Varney called his own number twice in succession to the 24. Facing a third and three, Caledonia called time at 10:54. A Varney pass to Adam Buttell was incomplete with Disterhaupt on the coverage and on fourth and three ML-WR called time at 10:47. The Warriors got a first out of Ryan Pitts on a rush of four to ML-WR's 20 with Coil, who had 10 tackles for the game to lead the Rebels, getting the stop. Coil stormed in and threw Pitts for a four yard loss, but Zach Kasten rushed for 13 to the Rebels' 11 with Pender catching up on the play to avoid a likely TD. Varney carried to the Rebels' 10 yard line for a first with Rebel Zach Paull keeping him from more. Kasten got the call on first and goal, but big middle linebacker Brett Hawkins allowed only a yard. Varney found Jacob Swindell on the left flat, but Mike Gassert was there to stop on the six. Strub was stopped by the ML-WR swarm on a middle attempt for no gain and Caledonia called time-out with 7:08 on the clock on fourth and goal.
Rebel Captain Jake Christopherson took care of business and celebrated his success with a jump, whoop and a first pump as Varney got just a yard to the ML-WR two yard line. The Rebels had forced Caledonia to turn it over on downs and continued to lead 22-15 at 7:37.
Starting from their own two, Caledonia nearly had Pender for a safety, but they fought free and forward progress was ruled to the four with Kevin Lapham tackling for the Warriors. The Rebels tried their go-to-man Disterhaupt, but Kasten was having nothing to do with it and spied on the speedster for a two yard loss back to the two. Adamczak had Disterhaupt for a pass that looked like it might get the Rebels some space and closer to a first, but it was high and just off the usually very sticky gloves of the star back. The ball, tipped from its intended receiver, continued on its way and went right into the hands of Varney who had no problem running past one attempted dive at his feet for a stunning touchdown at 1:17. Schmitz's kick was good past a diving Disterhaupt and in a flash, it had gone from an outstanding goal line stand to poor field position and a tied ball game at 22-22.
Schmitz kicked off 52 yards to the Rebels and Disterhaupt brought it out to the 23. The Rebels got called for an illegal block to move the ball to the their own 13. A drive started at 5:40 with Disterhaupt rushing for five to the 18 with Swindell tackling. Pender got four to the 22 with Sam Schulte stopping. Disterhaupt got a three yard gain against Kasten for a first down to the 25. An Adamczak pass to Coil was incomplete. Disterhaupt was blanked by Kasten. On third and 10, Adamczak tried for Disterhaupt and it was close with Warrior Alex Goetzinger tight on the coverage and no interference called. Disterhaupt had trouble on the punt and after only 22 yards it was downed on Moose Lake-Willow River's own 47 at 3:11.
Buttell rushed for three yards to the Rebels' 44 with Disterhaupt tackling. Varney passed to Buttell for four yards with B.J. Young up quickly. Varney got just three yards against Paull, but it was just enough for a first down on ML-WR's 37. Pitts was held to a yard by Pender. Varney ran for six outside with Rebel Ezra Szczyrbak stopping. Varney broke free for 15 yards to the Rebels' 15 and Moonen had to save a possible score on the first down. Pitts rushed for six to the Moose Lake-Willow River nine with Young on the tackle. From the right hashmark, Caledonia had Pitts rush for two yards to precisely the middle of the field with Gassert stopping. The Warriors were able to get time-out called with one second on the clock.
The Rebels called time-out to try to ice star kicker Schmitz. Having nailed a 36-yarder in the second quarter for 15-7, the snap was exact, the hold was good and just like that the ball cruised straight through from 24 yards out and the Warriors were three-peat State Class AA champions. The Rebels, having literally given it all on the field, took various forms of stunned disbelief and deep grief.
Following the game, Coach Louzek consoled yet congratulated each as a father would a son. As medals were hung by the coach around each player's neck and heartfelt hugs were exchanged, many said they were sorry. The father of the Rebel football family consistently replied, "You have nothing to be sorry for." In a post game interview, Disterhaupt was heard saying, "I'm not much about individual stats, I would have done anything to have won this game." When they arrived back home, each got another hug from the coach.
As far as individual stats, it was a team effort and it was a team loss. Three second-place finishes in a four-year period and two seasons in a row at 13-1 is a record the team and communities can be very proud of.

Erotic art covers any artistic work that is intended to evoke erotic arousal or that depicts scenes of love-making. It includes paintings, engravings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, music and writing.
Defining erotic art is difficult since perceptions of both what is erotic and what is art fluctuate. A sculpture of a phallus in some African cultures may be considered a traditional symbol of potency though not overtly erotic.
In addition, a distinction is often made between erotic art and pornography (which also depicts scenes of love-making and is intended to evoke erotic arousal, but is not usually considered art). The distinction may lie in intent and message; erotic art would be items intended as pieces of art, encapturing formal elements of art, and drawing on other historical artworks. Pornography may also use these tools, but is primarily intended to arouse one sexually. Nevertheless, these elements of distinction are highly subjective.
Erotic art still celebrates the beauty of the human body. The vase carvings and paintings in Ancient Greek art where erotic in nature but the Greeks had a aperception of the human body that elevated to its purest forms. Other artists during the years took erotic art to different levels still respecting the human form. Gustav Klimt is one of them. His female sketches, sensuous and delicate, depicted masturbation in a beautiful way.
Somewhat forget other forms of erotic art, for example Shibary and Kinbaky.Not just canvas perfect for erotic pictures, there is a body painting as an art forma.We can discuss them or be limited to previously?
Hello , do yu like ours erotics? 😴
