fix typo
Add some boldness to output. Update/fix pkg_needrebuild() for smart-live-rebuild.
Do not attempt to use submodules for which the checkout path does not exist (has been removed), bug #551100.
Fix typo.
Respect the EVCS_UMASK variable to override the default umask when writing to the repository.
Mention git-clone man page for URI syntax, bug #511636.
Use ROOT=/ when checking for git features, bug #518374. Patch provided by Michael Haubenwallner.
Stop forcing -m0755 on EGIT3_STORE_DIR and parents, bug #516508.
Fix typo in submodule fetching, reported by Hans Vercammen.
Properly canonicalize relative submodule URIs, bug #501250.
Give an explanatory error when trying to fetch https:// with dev-vcs/git[-curl]. Bug #510768.
Automatically switch to EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=single+tags for Google Code.
Add a single+tags mode to handle Google Code more efficiently, bug #503708.
Force EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=mirror for submodules since they can reference commits in any branch without explicitly naming the branch, bug #503332.
Clarify where EGIT_CLONE_TYPE and EGIT_MIN_CLONE_TYPE is supposed to be set.
Do not try shallow clones on local repositories.
Force non-forward updates on git refs.
Add EGIT_MIN_CLONE_TYPE to control clone type via ebuilds.
Auto-unshallow when fetching by commit hash.
Support EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=shallow.
Support EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=single.
Introduce EGIT_CLONE_TYPE for future use.
Support using a local git mirror.
Fix support for non-master default branch.
Replace "git fetch" checkout with more efficient and compatible pseudo-shared clone.
Improve docs.
Use git init+fetch rather than clone in order to fix checking out to non-empty directory. Fixes bug #502400.
Fetch and preserve git notes as well.
Use complete git clones, and clone them onto the checkout directory. This makes it possible for build system to lookup all repository information as requested in bug #489100. Remove shallow clone support since it would require too much effort and make code hard to understand. Additionally obsoletes bug #489100 and git-r3 part of bug #494934.
Use shallow clones for local repos. Bug #491260.
Fix parallel checkout race conditions, bug #489280.
Create a fake ".git" directory inside the checkout to satisfy git rev-parse uses in build systems. Bug #489100.
Strip sub-slot from local repo IDs.
Fix handling relative submodule paths.
Fix over-use of ||die.
Add missing "die" calls as reported by Nikoli.
Respect EVCS_OFFLINE in git-r3_fetch.
Skip submodules that have update=none specified in config. Fixes bug #487262.
Fix git-r3 -> git-2 dependency leak, as noted in bug #487026.
Add missing git DEPEND wrt bug #487026.
Always fetch all branches when doing non-shallow fetch.
Fix parsing EGIT_REPO_URI. Bug #486080.
Update doc on EGIT_NONSHALLOW.
Support EGIT_REPO_URI being an array. This is needed for tests.
Update git URI stripping for gnome.org.
Strip trailing slashes from repo URI when determining local copy directory.
Do not even create shallow repository when EGIT_NONSHALLOW is set. Otherwise, the eclass tries to unshallow it and that breaks broken git servers like Google Code.
Fail early on unreachable URLs. If ls-remote fails due to server being unreachable, there is no point in attempting to fetch.
Do not leak EGIT_NONSHALLOW over loop iterations. Failing URL may cause non-shallow attempt to be made. When attempting next URL in the list, we should try shallow again.
Introduce smart switching between "git fetch" and "git fetch --depth 1" to save bandwidth.
Do not pass --depth when updating a branch, it trrigers issues in git. Instead, use it for the first fetch only.
Introduce the new git eclass.

When designing a custom spa bathroom for your home, you'll want to make sure you do an ample amount of planning beforehand to create your dream space. Spa master bathrooms come in all different shapes and sizes, and the technology incorporated into these rooms vary as well - enabling the construction of a personalized retreat.
HGTV reports that laying out the space and writing up a general blueprint before getting started on remodeling can be helpful. For example, you may know you want a tub in the bathroom, but what size tub do you want? Will the shower take up a large amount of space and be the focal point of the room or fade into the background?
Another thing that you will want to consider when designing your spa bathroom is the comfort level. A bathroom can quickly become a cold, drab space if you don't put in an effort to bring in warmth - physically and visually.
When adding fixtures and furnishings to the space, lean on the side of luxury to make the bathroom more welcoming. For instance, opt for a chandelier rather than wall sconces for lighting and install heated towel racks.
To avoid stepping on a cold floor when you get out of the shower, install radiant heating. Radiant heat has numerous benefits - in addition to making flooring more pleasing to the touch, it can reduce your reliance on a furnace to heat the space.
In order to make the most of your investment, look for a product that can be easily installed, such as the recently released WarmlyYours TempZone Twin Conductor Cut & Turn Roll. Unlike some radiant heating solutions that cause more trouble than they're worth, the Cut & Turn Roll can reduce electromagnetic fields below the flooring and be installed underneath hardwood, tile or stone without hassle.
Once you have your radiant heating in place, you can move on to think about the smaller finishing touches, ranging from the towels to the shower curtain. To make this process easier, you might want to think about establishing a color palette to work with beforehand. Doing so can help you pick out complementary accessories for your spa bathroom.
Although planning and redesigning a bathroom can be an extensive process, taking the time to hammer out the details before you get started can make sure you're happy with the finished product.

It seemed funny 20 years ago when Antioch College unveiled a sexual offense prevention policy so prescriptive that students weren't allowed to kiss without receiving explicit permission.
The small Ohio campus became the butt of national jokes, including a parody on "Saturday Night Live" mocking the question-and-answer process that student trysts required.
The code's premise was simple: Every sexual encounter, from first kiss to post-coitus snuggle, must be agreed upon by both parties.
"Silence is not consent," the policy decreed. Also: "Body movements and … moans are not consent," and "Grinding on the dance floor is not consent."
The person initiating the sexual activity had to ask for consent. The person asked was required to respond verbally. Each new level of intimacy called for another verbal agreement.
It's easy to dismiss that checklist approach as rigid or naive. But it did deliver the sort of clarity that we are lacking now, as activists, politicians and students weigh in on the charged topic of sexual violence on campus.
The Antioch code provided an explicit primer on sexual consent. It focused not just on punishment, but on preventing misconduct. It required both parties to consider and declare their intentions, promoting a deliberative approach to an often impulsive act.
In hindsight, all of that was actually pretty smart.
In the two decades since then, the needle hasn't budged much. But a surge of complaints by students has led federal officials to investigate 55 colleges, including four in California, for possibly violating the law in their handling of sexual violence and harassment allegations. The White House has even taken up the cause, with its Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault.
That task force's report, released last week, says universities need to do a better job of investigating and reporting assaults, supporting victims, disciplining students found guilty of sexual misconduct, and conducting prevention campaigns that enlist male students to intervene when a female classmate is in a threatening situation.
That's all good, but not quite enough. There are social norms in play that colleges can't avoid and the task force shouldn't ignore. Rampant binge-drinking, a hookup culture and a lack of clear standards and support have allowed some men to feel entitled to sex and left some women uncertain about protecting themselves.
We're not talking about strangers jumping out of bushes. The majority of campus sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows, and involve overuse of alcohol or drugs.
Acknowledging that isn't blaming the victim or sanctioning rape. In fact, addressing that reality may be a necessary first step toward making a dent in a problem that is broader than assault reports suggest.
It seems that young men aren't the only ones with a problem distinguishing between rape and sex.
In a survey of college students by the National Institute of Justice, 14% of women said someone had sexual contact with them when they were passed out or too drunk to be able to stop or provide consent.
But three-quarters of those women did not consider that rape or assault. Even when penetration was involved, only 37% of the women the study classified as rape victims believed that what happened to them was rape.
Tulane University professor Sally Kenney isn't surprised by that. "Nobody likes to claim the term 'victim.' There's a stigma to that," she said. "But it is alarming, the way a large number of students, both men and women, have trouble understanding forced sex as problematic."
Kenney worked with the White House task force and heads Tulane's Newcomb College Institute, a leadership program for women. She recalled asking students to write personal reflections about court cases involving violence. Their stories revealed that every woman in that class had been sexually assaulted — even if they didn't call it that, she said.
That attitude may reflect wobbly college norms. "Is it OK to force somebody to have sex if you spent a lot of money on a date? Can someone retract consent once they've started messing around, if they decide they don't want it to continue?" Those are questions Kenney said students ponder as they try to calibrate their personal boundaries.
The professor thinks I do the movement a disservice by linking drinking and sexual assault. Instead of warning women not to get blackout drunk, Kenney said, we need to educate men that it's not OK to have sex with someone who isn't sober enough to consent.
I think we can and should do both: Highlight the hazards of binge-drinking, which makes a hash of self control. And make it clear that sex with an incapacitated partner is a moral and legal violation that can send a student to jail.
That's an education that needs to start before college, because studies show that freshmen and sophomores are more likely than older students to be involved in what researchers call "sexually coercive experiences."
The federal task force was right to promote "bystander intervention" campaigns that let women know they're not alone. As Kenney put it, "We need to empower the 90-plus percent of men who do not want to rape anybody to stop the men who do."
We also need to encourage those young women who've been willing to shed their privacy and talk about being sexually assaulted.
"That's what's so important about this moment," Kenney said. "Students are organizing themselves. Social media is allowing them to share their stories: 'This is what happened to me at this bar on this street at homecoming.' So people can't keep saying it only happens somewhere else."
Those student voices have built momentum for a movement that can make college campuses healthier for everyone. Their courage makes a lie of the notion that any woman should feel ashamed because someone violated her.

Left: me
Right: the melody censor
For the latest round of Divine Diptychs, I set the theme of complimentary colours, with myself and Susan selecting green and red.
Though I did trawl my archives looking for something, due to feeling a little uninspired in terms of shooting something new, I decided that I didn't want to submit an image that was the easy 'go-to' of plants, and the most 'diverse' predominantly green image I had was of a cactus.
With the green dress seen above in mind, I originally thought about shooting self-portraits in it with my matching green tights, but then had the idea of a bouquet of green 'flower alternatives', which ended up being some tender stem broccoli and asparagus.
As I've recently found some nail polish that dries in 40 seconds, so have actually started wearing nail polish again regularly and buying colours that match to my outfits (purple being my favourite so far), I figured I'd track down some green nail polish to complete the image in my head. The nearest I found was aquamarine, so I tweaked the overall image a little to get a more pure green colour (I also gave myself a Photoshop manicure, reapplying the nail polish to my chipped fingernails, as I polished my nails last Sunday night).
I love that Susan expanded upon her original idea by including a 'pepper purse' in her image after seeing my image! I love her vibrant colours, and that we both look like we're getting ready for a prom or something, and those shoes!

– Business Development by Enterprise Architecture. That is the theme for The Open Group Oslo Conference 2013.
Larger more complex changes that affect several stakeholders within an organization must often be handled in a program of several coordinated projects and line activities. The ultimate goal of such a change will generally need to be revised during the lifetime of the program.
The accepted methods available to control program generally lack clear guidelines on what must be done to plan the change process, dividing it into the project, manage dependencies between projects, and establish phases with clear target images.
New possibilities arise through innovations in business models, and knowledge but also organizational change and cost cutting. This requires new tools to stay successful in managing and developing the business or organization as it evolves with the markets.
Enterprise Architecture consolidates organizations into "structures" or reusable and manageable capabilities which form the base for planning and prioritization projects aiming at change such as outsourcing and new business processes supported by IT applications.
Confirmed speakers include:
A safe digital mail service – a common architecture for the public sector in Norway based on TOGAF
Bjorn Holstad – Head of architecture section, Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Difi)

Spice shop sells exotic flavors by the ounce
Spice Galore's retail space in South Miami looks like a potion room from the Harry Potter books. Glass jars and transparent little bags filled with herbs and other ingredients from around the world sit on wooden shelves waiting to be part of a recipe.
For the founders of the boutique, at 6010 S. Dixie Hwy. in South Miami, it's all about bringing the magic of "molecular gastronomy" into the kitchens of adventuresome home cooks. The modern style of cuisine focuses on chemical transformations. For example, maltodextrin helps chefs to turn anything with fat like olive oil or Nutella into powder.
"We are exited about offering something new and exiting," co-owner Aimee Ortega said. "The techniques change the chemical composition of food to make it look like something else. For instance, with 'agar' you can make fruit caviar, dextrose monohydrate and xylitol can replace sugar. Xylitol doesn't alter your glycemic index."
Ortega, 32, met her business partner when she was a student at Miami Dade College and Victoria Nodarse, 30, was a chef instructor. It was their dream to have their own business, so the two invested about $50,000. They opened their store in South Miami in November. They don't have a sign yet, because they are waiting for the city to approve their design.
Children seem to like that there are about 14 different types of sugar. While tangerine sugar can be sprinkled over grapefruit, lavender sugar can be used to sweeten tea, strawberry, raspberry, or coconut sugar can be used on ice cream.
"Most of the flavored sugars are used as finishing sugars, we have a few bartenders who are incorporating them into their cocktails and using them on the rim of their glasses," Ortega said. "I personally always use sweet onion sugar to caramelize onions for burgers."
The store also has 55 different types of gourmet salts that come from all over the world. The price of an ounce ranges from $5 to $175. There are differences in texture, flavor and color. Deposited in the Bolivian Andes, rose salt is hand harvested from ancient sea salt covered with volcanic lava. Maldon sea salt flakes are from England's south coast; La Baleine is from France; Aguni salt comes from an island in Japan, the Murray River salt from Australia, and the Himalayan salt from Pakistan.
"Some of the salts have very good health properties," Ortega said. "Kala Namak black salt from India smells awful, but it is a really good salt for people with high blood pressure because a little bit goes a long way."
The spices include different varieties of vanilla beans, peppers, cardamom pods, and paprika. There are rarities like pink rose pedals, pomegranate and beet and acai powder. And they also offer exotics like curry leaves, garam, masala, tamarind paste, za'atar and sumac, which are used for Indian and Mediterranean cooking. The prices range from $2.50 to $5.25 an ounce.
The herbs range from $1.50 to $19. Their selection includes Kaffir Lime Leaves usually used for Asian cuisines, including Thai and Cambodian. They offer eight varieties of chili, including Aji Amarillo used for spicy Peruvian specialties like the "Papa a la Huancaína" salad.
There are at least 60 flavors of tea, including red rooibos from South Africa, yerba mate from Brazil and mango Ceylon from Sri Lanka. And they have a variety of green tea from China, including Genmaicha with roasted rice, and Dragon Well, which is unrolled so it is not as oxidized for a softer flavor.
"A little boy who got honorable mention in a science project came into the store to spend his money on tea," said Nodarse, who was certified at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. "He was very happy with our selection."
Nodarse is looking into expanding an education and community program. She is offering knife cutting classes and volunteering in an education program at Poinciana Park Elementary School. To support a local business, Ortega and Nodarse sell raw honey from wildflowers from The Tattoo Bee Keeper in West Miami.
For Valentine's Day, they will sell El Rey chocolates from Lara, Venezuela, at 10 percent off and focus on "sexy stuff" while preparing gift boxes, Ortega said.
"We love what we do and it shows," Nodarse said.

Located next to the Basilica St Mary of the Sea is a special place to all Conchs (native Key Westers). This grotto was built in 1922 and has served as a place of worship and dedication. As hurricanes loom people in the know will make a trip to the grotto to say a prayer and light a candle. Sister Gabriel designed the grotto with this intent and it has served the people of Key West for almost 100 years.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

A 1031 exchange executed properly can not only defer taxes but also further investment goals.
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows an investor to swap one form of business asset for another of a like kind — for example, selling one investment property and rolling the gains into the purchase of another property. Capital gains taxes are deferred until the property is sold with no reinvestment.
Rules surrounding 1031 exchanges are exacting, and mistakes can result in big tax consequences.
Stephen Breitstone, a partner and head of the tax practice at Meltzer Lippe, has listed eight common — and avoidable — mistakes investors tend to make when using 1031 exchanges:
1. Overpaying for replacement properties.
Alerting a seller and broker that you're looking for a replacement property may prompt them to jack up the price because they know you're on a tight deadline.
2. Choosing the wrong qualified intermediary.
Choosing the wrong intermediary could cause you to lose your money. Make sure you set up a separate account that can be released only with your signature and the intermediary's at a reputable institution.
3. Improperly setting up a 1031 exchange.
A 1031 exchange is a tax transaction as much as a real estate transaction, if not more so. The tax consequences can be significant if the 1031 exchange is not done properly, so think twice about using a real estate attorney or relying on an exchange company to execute the paperwork.
4. Buying something that doesn't make sense.
Sometimes you're better off leasing a property rather than buying another one just to get a 1031 exchange.
5. Bungling financial statements.
The 1031 exchange is formalistic — and punishes mistakes. Take the expenses and adjustments you pay at the close. Showing the wrong figures on your closing statement can precipitate a big taxable event.
6. Believing 1031 exchanges eliminate taxes.
The 1031 defers taxes. If not done correctly, a 1031 can change income from capital gains to ordinary income, subjecting that income to a much higher tax rate as well as other taxes.
7. Running out of time.
The seller looking for an exchange has only 45 days after closing to identify a replacement property. If you haven't done advance due diligence, or the replacement property is sold to someone else, or you don't have a contract within that time period, you're out of luck.
8. Lack of proper tax planning.
A 1031 exchange requires that past, present and future planning be taken into consideration to minimize tax and economic consequences.

Just Mobile AluPen Digital Stylus Review/
Just Mobile made a lot of headlines when it released its thick pencil-shaped all-aluminum stylus a few years ago. And now the company is following up with its brand new take on the powered and so-called smart stylus market with the AluPen Digital. It's a beautifully designed, super-sensitive aluminum hybrid stylus with an extremely fine tip designed to give you that familiar feeling of using a ball-point pen – only with your tablet or smartphone. And the great thing about the AluPen Digital is that it just works. Straight out of the box. Although it is indeed a powered stylus, there's no Bluetooth pairing or proprietary technology involved to limit its functionality so you can use it with virtually any app that's available for iOS and Android devices.

For someone who doesn't like playing dress-ups, it was a lot of fun! I rate the 1920's.
It was the strangest Hen's night I think I have been to, not only because I drove (unheard of in the pre-kids days) but because most of my friends were off the booze for various reasons too. We were the old Nannas down one end of the table, nattering and eating sushi, while the 'young ones' hit the champers. Bizarre.
It had all the markings of a typical Hen's night.
A gaggle of women.
Obligatory penis straws for our drinks.
The Hen drunkedly proclaiming her undying love for her buck.
But it was different too.
The conversation was deep and meaningful.
There was no veil or pink fluffy bunny ears.
Come to think about it, aside from the whole Flapper thing, it was just another night at a cocktail bar with a group of female friends. A chance for some female bonding before my friend gets married.
I'm glad our Hen had a great night. It was wonderful to be able to share in the good spirit of the evening and makes me look forward to the wedding even more. Once I find the perfect frock I will be totally ready!
What did you do for your Hen's night?

Camp showers come with the dues.
That said, we usually get by with a combination of bay wipes and a garden sprayer (overgrown mister bottle works too). Booby Bar had camp showers for us last year, I think I used it once, maybe twice. The trick is you can't use regular shampoo and conditioner, they muck up the evap terribly. I hate Doc Bronner's in my hair, but is sufficed that one time. You also can't run the water, you must learn to shower the Navy way... water on, wet down, water off. Soap up, using as little sudsy stuff as possible. Water on, rinse. If you've never done that, try it a few times at home. Takes a little practice. For ladies, a wash cloth in a ziploc bag makes reaching the tender bits simpler.
Find a leave-in conditioner.

Munch from Belgrade seems to have shoehorned Google's Android OS onto a dual-boot Nokia N95. The demo videos are rather grainy, but you can make out Android booting up and Google Maps running fullscreen. Munch vows to release the code for installation October 5th on his blog.
If you manage to get this running on your N95 when it's released, leave a note in the comments.
Update: turns out to be a complete fake.

If I were thinking of the name of a skincare product, which had to have the word, 'time' in it, I'd think of a few things, like 'Peachy-time' or 'Lovely-time' but it wouldn't really occur to me to call it Frogtime.
But that's why I love Japanese beauty products and their zany names! Naris Up's Frogtime range consists of only a few products such as this moisture mist and some sun screen. It could be that it's aimed at little mites:
When I say mites, I mean kids by the way, not actual mites.
I was kinda duped into buying this because the official listing said it contained sunscreen. It does NOT contain sunscreen – it is a moisture mist only and a pretty dinky one at that. Good for the handbag though.
I took this with my on a trip to London and because I had forgotten to pack cream I spritzed this before foundation application instead and to be honest, it did quite a good job of hydrating my skin throughout the day.
It doesn't replace cream at all but it was just a nice top-up product. It feels richer than a water type spritz with a sort of slightly sticky finish that fades after a minute or two. It doesn't contain alcohol either so no stinging.
I like this although it is, in all honesty, a novelty beauty purchase. It's quite nice to take on journeys and spritz if you have dry skin like me, it saves ruining the make up by adding a layer of cream on top.
I bought this from Alphabeautyuk on eBay.

A Cycling Legacy to remember - Prudential RideLondon
A Cycling Legacy to remember - Prudential RideLondon
Nearly 300 people had volunteered through CTC to help throughout the weekend and there was much praise on social media for the Dr Bike Service they provided, not to mention the valued work of the marshals.
There were so many smiling faces at such a great event."
CTC Chief Executive, Gordon Seabright.
Amongst the races on Saturday, London hosted the Grand Prix women's criterium in St James's Park. Team CTC put in a strong performance with Hannah Payton storming into a 19th place finish. Laura Trott won for Team Wiggle Honda.
Journalist Brad Stratton took over coverage with tweets live from the race's Media Centre, keeping CTC's twitter followers up to date.
Hannah and Tamina were joined for the start of the race by Astrid Wingler, but Tracey Fletcher - who was scheduled to be part of the line-up for the event - was unable to make the race.
The 1.3 mile anti-clockwise circuit saw riders begin on The Mall heading towards Buckingham Palace, past the Victoria memorial and down Birdcage Walk. From there they made the turn into the approach to Horse Guards Parade, and back round onto the Mall for the finish line.
All three riders got off to a strong start, keeping up with the leading group of riders that included pre-race favourites Laura Trott and Hannah Barnes of Wiggle Honda and MG Maxifuel respectively.
However, a minor crash within the first few laps saw Astrid lose the front group of riders. She was lapped by the leaders later on and therefore was required to pull out with 3 laps to go, along with other riders who had been passed.
Brad tweeted, "Thoughts post-race turned to team mate Tamina Oliver, who was involved in a crash on the final lap that required her to be taken to hospital."
The weekend-long Prudential Ride London, which included the criterium, was part of the ongoing legacy from the London 2012 Olympics, along with London Mayor Boris Johnson's commitments to add to cycling opportunities in the capital.
On Sunday, as the sun shone, CTC race marshals and feed station volunteers were in place from not long after dawn on the London-Surrey 100 route. The roads of Dorking were lined with supporters - a sight mirrored across the city and the suburbs.
20,000 cyclists took part in the Ride London-Surrey 100 to raise funds for charity and retrace much of last year's Olympic Road Race Route.
Tour de France sprint champion Peter Sagan was favourite to win the Classic, but after an afternoon of much contested riding, the predicted bunch sprint at the end saw a French Victory from FDJ's Arnaud Démare.
Here's looking forward to Prudential RideLondon 2014!

By Danny O'Neil
One month into the 2012 season, the city of Seattle couldn't agree on whether Russell Wilson was the best quarterback on the Seahawks' roster.
Now, just over a month before training camp, that same city seethed at the failure of a national columnist to include Wilson near the top of the NFL's next generation of great quarterbacks.
"Of all the young star quarterbacks coming off breakout seasons," Jeffri Chadiha of ESPN.com wrote of Wilson, "he still has more to prove than any of his peers."
The fact that sentiment can inflame an entire city the way it did is testament to just how well Wilson played in December and January. That there are places in the rest of the country that remain unconvinced speaks to the skepticism that endures even into Wilson's second season.
And before we dive into the specifics of the argument, let's pause for a moment and recognize how great it is for Seattle in general, and Wilson in particular, to have a place at the table in this debate. For the first time in more than five years, there is no doubt about this franchise's quarterback of the future.
The only question is how good Wilson is going to be, and for as much faith as he inspired in this city last season, there remain the unconverted who will point to other circumstances to explain the team's success.
You know the song by now: Wilson averaged only 25 passes per game last season, reaping the benefit of a defense that allowed the fewest points in the league and playing in an offense that ran it more often than all but one team in the league. And don't forget, Wilson still stands 5 feet, 10 and 5/8 inches.
All of that is true.
Now that doesn't mean Wilson is going to be a quarterback who's good – but not great – as Chadiha projects. But by the same token, the fact Seattle won its final five regular-season games and averaged 38.6 points during that stretch is no guarantee that Wilson is destined for a spot in the upper echelon of the NFL's quarterbacks.
Wilson didn't shoulder as much an offensive load as Andrew Luck did in Indianapolis or Robert Griffin III in Washington or even Cam Newton has over the past two years in Carolina.
But to say he was a placeholder under center whose primary job included a handoff undersells what Wilson did over the second half of last season. Because while Seattle may have remained a run-first team, Wilson was much more than a game manager.
He was the player the team turned to down the stretch of close games. The one who led Seattle on a 97-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter at Chicago and followed that up with an 80-yard scoring drive after Seattle's defense inexplicably allowed the Bears to force overtime.
Wilson is the player who put Seattle in position to win at Detroit in Week 8 and the one who had Seattle 32 seconds from playing for the NFC Championship after leading a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback in Atlanta.
He passed for 26 touchdowns in the regular season, matching Peyton Manning's record for NFL rookies. His improvement was systematic over the course of the season, addressing first his third-down passing then his red-zone production and finally becoming a threat to run the ball himself.
The result was a rookie season that answered any questions Seattle had about its future at quarterback. But any doubt that both the Seahawks and their quarterback have something left to prove was answered before his sophomore season began because even after seeing that rookie season, there are those such as Chadiha who don't believe he's on the cusp of greatness.

Twitter's rise as a global communications service came on short bursts of text-only messages. But a redesign of the company's web site and mobile apps announced Tuesday could generate new revenue streams by placing greater emphasis on photos and videos.
In other words, a photo is worth 140 characters.
CEO Dick Costolo appeared on NBC-TV's "Today" show to announce the San Francisco company has a completely overhauled its iPad app, tweaked its website and revamped its iPhone and Android apps to make visual elements like photos and videos more prominent.
Costolo told the show hosts – including Ryan Seacrest and his nearly 8 million Twitter followers – that the micro-blogging service was responding to Twitter users who wanted to better ways to express themselves.
"What we've heard over and over again from our users is they want to bring more of their personality to their profile pages," he said.
But the redesign also signals new advertising opportunities for Twitter, which has reported success with ad products like its text-based "Promoted Tweets." Could there be a "Promoted Photos" in the works?
"Twitter is definitely embracing media content in this redesign, providing a bigger canvas to display pictures and video," said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst with the online research firm eMarketer.
"While I think the Promoted Tweets, Promoted Accounts and Promoted Trends will continue as Twitter's main ad formats, it is no big stretch to imagine that a Promoted Tweet could easily be not just words and a link, but an image or a video that plays directly and easily right within a user's news feed," she said.
The mobile apps now display photos attached to previous tweets in a horizontal bar below the latest three tweets. You can scroll through the photos with a swipe.
The redesign also creates space for a new "header photo," a picture or image that appears on top of a user's profile page on the Web or in the mobile apps. The Twitter member's profile photo appears in the middle.
Basically, this is a centerpiece picture much like the Timeline cover photo that Facebook has now pushed onto all of its member's main profile pages, even if some members didn't like that change.
The header photo give Twitter advertisers "creative flexibility to design their own brand page," Williamson said in an e-mail.
"Twitter is actively courting relationships with media outlets, offering to create deep integrations, such as the recent #Olympics page that Twitter developed with NBC, or ESPN's "Show us your #GameFace" promotion around the NBA Finals earlier this year," she said.
Those relationships could generate new revenue streams for Twitter, which "spies an opportunity to glean ad dollars from businesses that are already advertising on TV and are looking to extend their campaigns into social media," she said.
Individual tweets on the iPad app expand with one touch. Twitter – which has upset its community of third-party developers by taking over more control of its platform – also made its design consistent across the website and all of the apps.
The company has 140 million active users who send 340 million tweets per day.

Title: The Distribution of Mass in Spiral Galaxies
Abstract: Little is known about the content and distribution of dark matter in spiral galaxies. Mass modeling of any rotation curve can yield an alarming range of results - from entirely halo-dominated, centrally- concentrated dark distributions, to disk-dominated inner potentials with shallow, low density halos. To break this degeneracy, we propose to take advantage of the unique properties of the SparsePak Integral Field Unit on WIYN. To do this successfully, a two-phased observational approach is required. We have completed the first phase, and obtained H(alpha) velocity fields for a sample of ~100 photometrically selected spiral galaxies. We now propose to continue the second phase, during which we will measure the stellar kinematics and velocity dispersions for a subsample of about 40 galaxies that the H(alpha) data show to have kinematically well behaved disks and suitable inclinations. The stellar velocity dispersions provide a kinematic measurement of the stellar disk mass, thus breaking the degeneracy, making possible a measurement of the dark matter properties in spiral galaxies with unprecedented accuracy. In addition, we will calibrate the stellar mass- to-light ratios (M/Ls) from population models (derived from our UBVRIJHK observations) by comparison to our dynamically determined M/Ls.
