Nepomuk is based on the Semantic Web, and even though the Semantic Web is largely advertised as a triple store, Nepomuk is NOT a triple store. We in fact store quadruples ->
Subject -
Predicate -
Object -
Graph. The
Graph part of these quadruples is always automatically managed by Nepomuk. Clients rarely (if ever) need to care about the graph.
However, if you still want to know why they are present. Read on.
graph is also called the context of the statement. It is used to store some information about each triple
Every graph in Nepomuk is given a unique uri which is of the form
nepomuk:/ctx/uuid. The ctx over here is an abbreviation for context.
The first obvious question is - When are graphs created? Is everything just added into one big graph?
Nepomuk works by creating new graphs for each atomic operation. These operations are the ones defined by the DataManagement functions -
Each time any of these operations is called and new data is being pushed, a new graph with the current date time is created.
Graphs in Nepomuk store the following information -
Example -
rdf:type nrl:InstanceBase
nao:created 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:modified 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:maintainedBy nepomuk:/res/e2eb2efb-14ee-4038-ac24-698f916289b0
nao:created and
nao:lastModified properties are identical to those used in resources. Except for the fact that graphs are generally never modified. They are only created or destroyed.
Each graph has a type which depends on the type of data it holds. The 3 most commonly used types are -
nrl:Ontology - Used to hold ontology data.
nrl:InstanceBase - Used for normal data
nrl:DiscardableInstanceBase - Used for data which can be reproduced and should not be backed up. This type is generally reserved for data created during indexing of files.
Each graph contains a property called
nao:maintainedBy which specifies which application created that data -
rdf:type nrl:DiscardableInstanceBase
nao:created 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:modified 2011-07-30T11:34:19.587Z
nao:maintainedBy nepomuk:/res/e2eb2efb-14ee-4038-ac24-698f916289b0
rdf:type nao:Agent
rdf:type rdfs:Resource
nao:identifier nepomukindexer
Each application is represented as a
nao:Agent with the application name specified as the nao:identifier. This name is automatically determined via
KComponentData and can be spoofed. Security was not one of our concerns.
Each triple may be maintained by a number of different applications. This information is valuable for the advanced DataManagement functions such as

After the midnight Paschal Liturgy, we all gather together to bless the Pascha baskets. These baskets have been carefully prepared with many of the foods from which we've been fasting for the past month and a half during Great Lent. There are several foods traditionally included in the basket. These are: a yeast bread, a bitter herb, wine, cheese, meat, butter, salt, and a red egg. Each has symbolic significance.
Sweet bread is always included, leavened with yeast. This is a symbol of the New Covenant; the Jews made unleavened bread, and we, the Children of the New Covenant, make leavened bread. Kulich is the traditional Russian bread, and Tsourekia is the traditional Greek braided bread. The braided form of this bread is a display of the Trinity.
The bitter herb, often horseradish or garlic, serves as a reminder of the first Passover (horseradish is eaten as a traditional part of the original Passover meal) and of the bitter sufferings which Christ endured for our sake. Sometimes the herb is colored red with beets, symbolizing the Blood of Christ. The bitter herb is also to bring to mind the Jews' forty years of wandering in the wilderness.
Wine, cheese, and butter are figurative of all the good things of life, and remind us of the earthly gifts that come from God.
Meat is included in remembrance of the sacrifice of the Old Testament Passover, which has been replaced by Christ, the New Passover and Lamb of God.
Salt serves as a reminder to us that we are "the salt of the earth."
The red egg is likened to the tomb from which Christ arose. This is because of the miracle of new life which comes from the egg, just as Christ miraculously came forth from the tomb.
Thus each of the foods in the Pascha basket have rich meaning, as does everything in Orthodoxy. Glory to God!
From "Children of the Church"
We confidently recommend our web service provider, Orthodox Internet Services: excellent personal customer service, a fast and reliable server, excellent spam filtering, and an easy to use comprehensive control panel.

Andrew Yoshimura necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Andrew Yoshimura w/ Prudential California Realty
I am simplistic person. I like things one way and one way only. I am Real Estate Agent with Prudential California Realty in San Diego. I am 21 and the youngest person in my office besides me is 26.
I am ambitious and a hard worker. I decided to get into real estate because I feel there are a lot of fakes out there and I thought I could bring a service that out does all the rest and would be extremely impressive because of my age.
My market is San Diego. I am trying to eventually tap into the luxury market in San Diego once I've had my license for more than a year. I want my branding of that type of agent to start now.
As far as demographic I am looking to hit home with younger professionals and wealthy older clients.
The young professionals are the type to drive nice cars and live in upscale lofts downtown. They are work hard and play hard.
The wealthy older are the type to shop all day, drive nice cars, and dine out almost every night.
I am looking for something very clean and bold. I don't particularly want light colors. I want there to be a header, a footer, and a sidebar. In the header, things like my picture, company logo, and a picture of a home would go. Right under the header I want tabs for the different areas of my page (Buyers, Sellers, Listings, MLS Search, etc.)
The following link is a company in Hawaii that I have idolized because of their webpage: (http://choi-realty.com/)
As close as I can get to that the better. With having a real estate website I also need an MLS search. I need there to be a tab that a client can click on, fill out a form for home criteria, and search the MLS within my page. I don't want it to branch out to another website. So I believe there is some coding I need to get to pull from Sandicor (San Diego MLS)
I guess that is a big thing...I want everything to stay within my page. If they do a search, I want it to stay within my page. IIf you go to the website I provided you can see the professionalism with the colors, the layout. And if you go to (http://choi-realty.com/oahu_search.html) and do a search you will see how the result come in like it is Choi's own.
Upon completion of the contest I will request the subsequent pages be complete also.
OH! and for the logo, I can do a Blue, Black, or White logo for Prudential. Attached is the black

Editor's note: While Patrick Caneday takes some time off, we're running some of his choices for re-publication. This column was first published Dec. 5, 2009.
Let me say something that may deeply offend many of you —something so insidious and filled with controversy it has the power to tear apart a community and collapse our economy.
Merry Christmas.
That's right. I bid you good tidings of joy in this, the season we celebrate the birth of the newborn king Jesus Christ.
If you're still reading, take a shot back. I dare you. Give me your best "Happy Hanukkah," your most heartfelt "Happy Kwanzaa." Maybe you don't buy any of it, or you buy all of it, and the best you can do is wish me an all-inclusive "Happy Holidays." Bring it.
The world could use all such wishes of good cheer. I'm not offended when someone wishes me Happy Hanukkah or Happy Holidays. I don't recall ever being wished a Happy Kwanzaa, but the season's young, and it's on my Christmas list.
But my wish to you will always be that you have the Merriest Christmas possible.
There can be no argument that the two primary "holidays" in "Happy Holidays" are Hanukkah and Christmas. The Jewish tradition of Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem in 165 BC; Christmas, or "Christ's Mass," was a feast day in the Christian tradition celebrating the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. In more modern times, it's become the season in which we go broke spoiling our children with new trinkets while feeling pangs of guilt for not getting Joe anything after he gave us a singing mounted fish in the company white elephant gift exchange.
I don't happen to be Jewish, so I celebrate Christmas. Not "Holiday."
Scholars and laymen alike will argue the actual date of Christmas, quibble about the similar traditions predating Christianity, or point out the simultaneous celebrations of the winter solstice or an ancient Roman holiday. All good points. And all distraction. For most people, the cornerstone of the holiday season is Christmas, in whatever manner they choose to celebrate.
Don't just take my word for it. Trust my insurance agent. Each year he sends me a new calendar. And each year I check to see whether it says "holiday" or "Christmas" on Dec. 25. Guess what it says this year?
My calendar also shows that Hanukkah starts Dec. 12. So I wish my Jewish friends a very Happy Hanukkah indeed. The same goes for my friends celebrating Kwanzaa, may you have a truly happy one. To my Druid, ancient Roman and Seinfeld-loving friends, Happy Festivus.
There are heated debates about Christ being taken out of Christmas and the very word Christmas being taken out of the whole seasonal celebration. There are boycotts of stores that fail to mention the word Christmas in their advertising. And to those acts of civil chest-thumping, I say, "Amen." There are few things more noble and American than exercising your 1st Amendment right to shop, or not shop, wherever you choose.
But me, I don't care whether the Gap mentions the word Christmas in the company's TV commercials. I don't believe the true meaning of Christmas is in hearing "Little Drummer Boy" over the PA system while I graze Target for iPods, PlayStations, Barbies and the High School Musical 2 Country Club Cruiser with Sharpay Doll.
You can take the word out of the malls, the commercials and airwaves. That's fine. It doesn't belong there anyway. The word belongs in a manger in a cave in Bethlehem because there was no room at the inn. The word is where stately Magi and lowly shepherds alike bowed down to a babe, God himself sharing the sentence of our humanity so we could better know him.
I'd rather celebrate that humble birth than the stuffed wallets of corporate shareholders and Wall Street traders. My faith lies not with Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Sony or Disney, but in the word. The word made flesh.
I know not everyone shares the same belief. I don't expect them to. I accept and respect that everyone has a right to celebrate the holiday of their choice — or none at all. That's what makes this country so great. Jesus himself never forced anyone to believe in him, so neither will I.
But let me throw another divisive word at you: tolerance.
Personally, I like the word. To me, it means peace, coexistence, understanding and all the things that bring diverse people to the table to break bread. In this life, there can be nothing wrong with that. Some would argue that tolerance means overly sensitive, politically correct coddling to any minority group demanding special preference or protection. And such feelings may be justified. But I will leave that for others to argue.
No, the tolerance I am speaking of here is that in which the weary world rejoices; a time to open hearts and doors with peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, no matter our beliefs; welcoming our neighbor with a warm hug, a hot toddy, a Happy Hanukkah, Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays and especially a Merry Christmas to all.
But even if you can't tolerate this sincere sentiment, even if my desire for you to have a Merry Christmas makes you gag on your egg nog, I'm going to give it anyway.
For it's the giving that matters, right?

Medicare Supplements
Seniors have unique insurance needs. Bearing that in mind, we've hand-picked the dozens of insurance companies that we work with in order to best meet those needs.
Our team of licensed senior medical agents have access to dozens of carriers, meaning you can choose the plan that's right for you. Need a hand deciding?
What is Open Enrollment?
The typical period of open enrollment, also called the annual enrollment period (AEP), is October 15th through the first week of December, approximately 7 weeks. Millions of Americans are shopping for and purchasing Senior Medical products during this time. We encourage you to begin the process early to give yourself ample time to make the most informed decision.
Medicare Supplements
Because original Medicare coverage has limitations, many people purchase supplemental insurance policies that are specifically designed to cover some of the gaps. These supplemental insurance policies, called "Medigap" or sometimes referred to as "Medicare Supplement" policies, are sold by private health insurance companies, not the federal government.
Medicare Advantage
Often referred to as Medicare Part C, a Medicare Advantage Plan is an additional health plan choice offered to those eligible for Original Medicare (Part A and Part B).
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans
Medicare Part D, also called the Medicare Drug Benefit, is a federal program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States.
Call today to have a no-obligation discussion with one of our Senior Medical professionals. We can provide you the best quote for the top plans to fit your needs.

ILAF, the OGC Iberian and Latin-American Forum, was chartered in 2010 and it has been a vital channel for communication between the OGC and the Spanish-speaking world.
The Forum is run by two chair persons from Spain, Joan Maso and Joan Capdevilla, both have been active over the last years and helped spread the word about the use of OGC standards in the community. Joan Capdevilla is now stepping down as co-chair because he is changing jobs.

Laubacher Multimedia's Content Management System is in it's third year of production and is gaining popularity. The system is incredibly easy to implement for designers and very flexible for developers.
Take our basic Web Page Content Management. Users edit parts of their web pages using an HTML editor. They can create versions and publish when they are ready. To implement it the designer or developer spends about 5 minutes setting up the page in the back end. Then the system provides copy/paste code for inserting the system into their page.
The nice thing is that, because it's a service-based system, the client side can be PHP, Cold Fusion, ASP, or .NET. It doesn't matter. Just copy and paste the code of your choice. Here is an example of a .NET implementation.
Place this code somewhere on the page. This sets up the connection to the XML source.
<asp:XmlDataSource runat='server' EnableCaching='False' id='PageContent1' DataFile='http://126.96.36.199/MyWebDept_com/content/MyContentManager.asmx/RetrievePageContent?clientID=MWH&pageID=873' XPath='responseXML'></asp:XmlDataSource>
Code for Title and META tags (inside of head)
<asp:Repeater runat='server' id='DataList1' DataSourceID='PageContent1'>
<meta name='keywords' content='<%#XPath("page/keywords")%>' />
<meta name='description' content='<%#XPath("page/description")%>' />
<meta name='Author' content='<%#XPath("page/author")%>' />
Code for Content – How do I get to Content Management? – Put this whereever you want the content to appear on your page.
<asp:DataList runat='server' id='DataList2' DataSourceID='PageContent1'>
This is just one example of an implementation for just one of our modules. We have a calendar system, a membership management system, email marketing, blog, FAQ manager, photo gallery manager, and much more.
Call us for a free demo and walkthrough.

Request for Comments
This page gives an overview of the current RFCs for PHP.
To create a new RFC, see How To Create an RFC
Note: An RFC is effectively "owned" by the person that created it. If you want to make changes, get permission from the creator. If no agreement can be found, the only course of action is to create a competing RFC. In this case the old RFC page should be modified to become an intermediate page that points to all the competing RFC's.
A new page in this RFC namespace will automatically be loaded with a template for an RFC. Customize as needed.

text: Wisconsin Alfalfa Winterkill Could Exceed 1 Million Acres May 13, 2013 06:12 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Wisconsin winterkill alfalfa losses could exceed 1 million acres, says Dan Undersander, a University of Wisconsin Extension forage specialist. That huge number could represent roughly 50% of the state's alfalfa crop. Exact losses are "difficult to quantify because often losses are portions of fields…. Losses are generally any lower spots in the field," he says. For fast regrowth, agronomists generally recommend planting seed oats and peas for haylage harvest. "But we are generally out of peas and oats is running short," says Undersander. "We do not recommend seeding alfalfa back into the same field [due to autotoxicity concerns] unless the initial seeding was last year. Little to no alfalfa seed left for reseeding at this point." Another alternative is BMR sorghum-sudangrass for silage, baleage or hay. Corn silage is another option if producers don't need feed immediately and an wait for fall harvest. Nitrogen credits for a corn crop should be based on the alfalfa stand present last fall, says Undersander. More alfalfa winterkill resources are available here. Back to news

Sourdough Cinnamon Twisters
This is an adaptation of my Sourdough Sticks formula. We have an employee at our family store who's Birthday is today. The other day as she was eating the Sourdough Sticks she said that is what she wanted for her Birthday. For some reason I had already came up with this crazy idea of making Twisters. These ideas just seem to come out of thin air so I don't know where I get them from. This is another really easy fun bread to make and it was a smashing hit with everyone here at our store. This is so good I'm making it for Thanksgiving.
Right as the twister come out of the oven I brushed them with melted butter. Then I sprinkled them with a sugar and cinnamon mixture. Eat them while they are warm. The sugar cinnamon mixture was 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. The twisters are slightly sweet with a thin crisp crust and a crumb that is light and airy. You can read about the rest of it on my site here.

Fittingly, a noisy retirement party in Old Lyme for an audio pioneer
Uwe Sattler's children like to talk about his teenage years in Germany, where he launched an unauthorized radio station that played Dixieland jazz. Authorities eventually located the pirate station and closed it down, which landed Sattler in a heap of trouble.
While Sattler, 67, laughed off the incident last week during his retirement party at Sennheiser - the German maker of audio equipment that has its U.S. headquarters in Old Lyme - it's clear that the longtime New London resident still has the heart of a pirate engineer first exhibited half a century ago. And that's what helped make him one of the most sought-after audio-design experts in the nation for the 33 years he worked at Sennheiser Electronic Corp., his colleagues said.
"He's a little rough around the edges, but he's genuine," said Mike Lieske, director of operations at Sennheiser. "He always comes up with out-of-the-box, creative ideas."
Sattler, as service manager, took on some of the biggest challenges in Sennheiser's history, helping design the wireless microphone systems used in such high-profile venues as the Olympics, the Super Bowl, Monday Night Football, The David Letterman Show and even Broadway. ESPN, NBC and CBS are some of the major networks that have counted on Sattler to work out technical problems and design custom audio systems.
Bob Dixon, director of sound design for NBC during several Olympics, remembered during Sattler's retirement party that ESPN once was having difficulty with a headset used by announcers who kept moving the attached microphone from its accustomed position.
Sattler, according to Dixon, was emphatic that the microphone could not be moved.
"No, no, no, they cannot," Sattler insisted with authority, Dixon said.
And, from that moment on, nobody dared change the microphone's position, ensuring the production's audio success.
"It was the way he said it," Dixon said. "'It has to be this way.'"
Henry Rousseau, coordinating technical manager for ESPN, recalled another incident 20 years ago in which Sattler scolded him for not choosing a wireless Sennheiser product for the fledgling network's broadcasts.
"You'll be back," Rousseau remembers Sattler warning him.
And, sure enough, Rousseau soon realized that the network had made a terrible mistake. Hat in hand, he went to Sattler and came back to the Sennheiser fold.
"I felt like the prodigal son going back to the father," he said.
Sattler, known for his blue suspenders and a sense of humor that tilts toward Dilbert cartoons, seemed to know competitors' products nearly as well as Sennheiser's, his colleagues said. He had a small, cluttered laboratory at Sennheiser where he took on some of the company's most high-end projects, including the recent refurbishment of vintage headphones purchased by a client for $24,000.
Sattler remembers his interest in audio production being closely associated with his fascination for electronics. In the 1950s and 1960s, when he was growing up in Germany, radio was synonymous with electronics, and he began as a teenager to ask endless questions of the owners of local radio-repair shops while collecting old parts to try to build his own radios.
Sattler also developed a love for music - particularly Dixieland - and tried his hand at the trombone, trumpet and piano before settling on the clarinet. Eventually, he gave up playing music for the much more powerful position of setting up the audio systems for bands, where he was at the center of attention and importance.
"It became a control thing," he said. "I've always been a little bit of a control freak."
He went on to graduate in three years from a four-year apprenticeship program in radio and television technology, the last year and a half at the university level.
At Sennheiser, Sattler was known for his wizardry in the "black art" of wireless technology. Especially at venues such as the Olympics, where wireless technology from all over the world was being employed, Sattler's abilities were constantly called upon as he had to coordinate the frequencies of various users to make sure they didn't interfere with one another.
Kevin Waehner, channel manager for integrated systems at Sennheiser, said Sattler was also known for developing the wireless systems for mega-churches across the country, some of which were employing as many as 40 different frequencies.
"He's been such a big part of what we do," Waehner said. "He's going to be hard to replace."
Sattlers' sons remember their father as the guy who could fix everything.
'A workaholic'
"He's a workaholic," Gregg Sattler said. "But he always provided for us, he always supported us."
During his retirement send-off, Sattler's dedication to work was put to the test. He went through a gauntlet of different challenges to his technical know-how that were live streamed to colleagues awaiting a surprise party in a Sennheiser conference room.
"Why only obsolete?" he asked during one challenge that required him to match Sennheiser microphones with the product name.
"You're obsolete," a colleague shot back.
"You talk like my kids now," Sattler growled.
Soon enough, Sattler was ushered into the party room, where a loud cheer and a band playing "Auld Lang Syne" greeted him. Nearly everyone wore blue suspenders.
"It's not every day we get to celebrate 33 years of service," said Greg Beebe, U.S. president of Sennheiser.
"I can't remember one day that I went to work," Sattler said. "I still see it as more of a hobby."
Sattler could be ornery at times, with such Uwe-isms as "It was never designed for that" and "There is nothing wrong with this; the customer is at fault" seen as an enduring - and endearing - part of his legacy. But colleagues joke that Sattler has forgotten more about his specialty in sound design than most others will ever learn.
"Everyone knows him in the audio industry," Sennheiser official Leiske said. "He is an original."

India Asks Top Court to Decide on Law Criminalizing Gay Sex
India's government on Wednesday asked the country's top court to repeal or keep a controversial law that criminalizes homosexual acts.
Government attorney Tushar Mehta said the court should rule on the issue of consensual sexual acts between two adults.
The Supreme Court is hearing petitions by activists challenging the law, Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, that makes gay sex punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
"We leave to the wisdom of the court to deal with the validity of Section 377 so far as it relates to consensual sexual acts between two adults," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Mehta as telling the five justices hearing the issue.
Activists had cheered in 2009 when the New Delhi High Court declared the law unconstitutional. But the judgment was overturned in 2013 when the top court decided that repealing the law should be left to Parliament, not the judiciary.
Over the past decade, homosexuals have gained a degree of acceptance in India, especially in big cities. Many bars have gay nights, and some high-profile Bollywood films have dealt with gay issues.
Still, being gay is largely seen as shameful in most of the country, and many homosexuals remain closeted.

"Great Product!!"
"I have a 12 year old Arabian mare who is ""hot blooded"". I have tried several products on the market to calm her down since she's so full of herself. Calm and Cool was recommended to me... I have noticed a HUGE difference in her attitude and eagerness to do everything I ask of her. We are finally as one now!!! VERY VERY HAPPY OWNER."
"Feeding Time"
My gelding was always pushy and impatient at feeding time. Pawing the ground running at the other horses in the next pen. I have been feeding calm and cool to him for a week and have noticed a HUGE difference at feeding time. He is quieter and less aggressive to the other horses. He was always impatient for the farrier, but now stands there quietly. Thanks Calm and Cool!
"cool n calm"
I started to feed cool and calm to my mare and gelding who are both uppity horses. My gelding gets overly excitable and when corrected gets irritated with work and its all down hill from there. After a week on cool and calm hes a different horse and much easier to train with a more focused mind set.
"Did not notice any changes"
Tried and saw no changes in the mares behavior or attitude. Just a good tasting treat for her on the exspensive side.
"Didn't notice any difference"
I fed this to my son's spotted saddle horse in hopes of taking the edge off her drive to go everywhere at top speed (and to be the first in line). Even though I fed the recommended dose, we never noticed a difference. I never had any trouble with her eating it, even though it smelled sort of moldy to me.
"It works very well!"
We feed Calm & Cool pellets to our horses in preparation for medical exams, training, rotating pastures, or travelling. It works better than anything else, and 5 out of 6 horses liked the taste. 1 out of 6 would not touch it nomatter what we did. I would highly recommend it.
"Calm and Cool"
I tried some of the calmatives that you give prior to events, shipping, etc. but they would start to wear off after a couple hours. That didn't work for us since we go on 3-4 hour trail rides. My horse would be back to his self-winding behaviour before the ride was over. Calm and Cool works for us... I can now ride the entire 3-4 hours with a loose rein and my horse no longer over-reacts to normal trail encounters. I give it to him 2xdaily as the label directs.
"Calm an cool"
Use as directed for a noticeable calmer show horse or trail horse. Twice a day for best results. I just mix with feed. He loves the taste. Will take about two weeks for best results.

Hi - my new therapist wants to take me off of Opipramol and put me on Amitriptyline. I tried using the search function on here to see if this has been mentioned before, but everytime I try to search I get "webpage has expired"- though I am connected. Not sure what is going on.
My therapist said that under normal levels of stress and anxiety, our brains are built to regulate those things. But when things go overboard, like a juggler trying to juggle 20 items when he has only practiced or is trained to juggle 10, the brain can't cope, and this changes pretty much everything. We tense up, we are easily startled, we can't sleep (which worsens symtoms), we get depressed and this all changes the chemical activity in our brains and affects our already senstive nervous system. He believes my twitching issue and other symptoms (globus) is from constant worry and tension - makes perfect sense. He does think though, that something else my be going on with my arm, such as a herniated disc or something (because of the pain). To be figured out...
But he said that Amitriptyline raises the levels of of both seratonin and nerdopamine (sp?), which helps nerves communicate better with each other. He said it will make me sleepy at first for a good while, but after 2-3 weeks, I will feel like myself, but the little things will matter less. Right now, every little thing is a challenge. I am not just hyper aware, I am like Ms. Hyper Aware Universe. I have to think really hard about if and how I should get out of bed or take a shower. I don't want to move because I don't want to feel the symptoms (like my left arm being heavy when I wash my hair). I somehow get it done, but it's all challenging.
He said main side effects are weight gain and constipation. I can live with that, seeing as right now I am hardly eating.
Anyway - anyone try this medication for a good month or more? If so, what did it help (or not help) with? Thanks!

This article in the London Review of Books -- LRB | Steven Shapin : The Great Neurotic Art -- investigates the Atkins diet craze from a loftily skeptical point of view, concluding that all diets all serve the same function of calibrating the balance between the self that desires (an appetitive self) with the self that controls desire (the moral self), and that these latest diets sell the promise of magical self-control without willpower, a transformation that requires virtually no will or determination of your own. Strange that people would be so eager to be transformed and yet have no special wish to control what they are transformed into. "The Atkins diet is a latter day theatre of agency," he explains, and very profitable for the corporations which now stage it. It seemed to me that Shapin backed away from some of the more incisive implications of what he argues, but he does raise a number of extremely interesting points.
Eating is the most basic kind of consumption, and thus perhaps it is the most constituitive of our notions of self in a consumer society. Shapin puts it this way: "the practices attending the production, preparation and ingestion of food make up much of the substance of moral and social order. Foods are clean and unclean as well as nutritious and non-nutritious. They define racial, regional, religious, national, class and cultural identity: consider the haggis, the hot dog and chicken soup." This ties in very closely to anthropological interpretations of consumption like that of Mary Douglas. The rituals of eating provide a society with its boundaries, with tangible manifestations of its values. Consumption practices constitute a language through which we can speak our identity in a way more fundamental than words.
Because eating involves literal ingestion of the symbols embodied by food, a kind of transsubstantiation is implied, where you eat what the food symbolizes and become that thing in the deepest way available to us. Shapin explains, "The material transformation is simultaneous with the possibility of social and moral transformation or the advertisement of the social and moral states to which you are laying claim. A temperate person is someone who eats temperately; a posh and powerful person is someone who gets an 8 o'clock table at the Ivy; respect for life is shown by vegetarianism; red-blooded machismo by the consumption of red meat; your friends eat with you at home; you have coffee with your colleagues; the High eat later than the Low, thus making a standard display of delayed gratification and acquiring the associated status of those who can wait an hour longer than others for their food. Self-nourishing and self-fashioning both happen at the table."
In other words, eating is a way that we manifest our class position, our identity, without conscious thought, and it's a way that ideology is made materially manifest, in the way Althusser theorized. Nothing seems more given, more natural than eating, when in fact how we go about it is highly constructed, full of messages. Baudrillard was so struck by this that he went so far as to posit, in "For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign," no natural needs, no natural appetites at all, that they are all produced by the demands of a given socioeconomic system, a social formation. Apparently, if the social formation demanded that we not eat at all, he opined, we'd never feel hunger, and see it as a perfectly natural life to gradually starve to death. Or we just wouldn't experience hunger as a kind of privation, we would exist in a society where food was always made plentiful, and was consumed at a subconscious level.
But the concept of which needs are natural and which are unnatural is at the heart of any diet regime; diets serve to draw that boundary: "The metabolic science that justifies the low-carb programme inscribes characteristic views of the will and the self. Some of the appetites in the motivational menagerie of the late modern self are natural, healthy and not to be resisted, but others are unnatural, brought into being by the artifices of the civilising process." Diets try to pitch themselves as more natural, using as evidence the supposed more natural and more healthy condition that being on the diet results in. But the ideal state of health, too, is culturally produced, in inflicted with class distinctions -- healthy is what the powerful/wealthy deem it to be, how they appear publicly to manifest their superiority.
It becomes tautological: the concepts of "proper diet" and "healthly state" are defined mutually, and confer legitimacy on each other. And both in turn are used to define which foods are "real" (Meat is, sugar isn't) and which appetites are appropriate and which are addictions, aberrencies that must be corrected by systemic intervention. In other words, the dieting industry is an institution that defines deviancy, like prisons, health care systems, schools, and so on, as any of Foucault's work can explain at length.
Atkins diet books, according to Shapin, makes their readers recognize their deviancy, but allows thn to rectify it without much effort or will. He sees this as a major shift from pre-modern dietary regimes, which emphasized self-control and moral restraint. The sin, the deviancy these diets fought was gluttony, overconsumption, failure to recognize one's proper limit. This fits well with the mercantile economic theory, and its strictures against luxury consumption, and the social status system, which relied on luxury consumption to manufacture and make legible class distinctions (this was encoded in sumptuary laws). But under consumer capitalism, subjects must be encourage to go beyond their inital sense of limit in their appetite; their appetites to consume must be continually stimulated, not suppressed. The entire economy rests on this. So it makes sense that new diets encourage you to indulge, and stress how much luxurious eating you'll be permitting yourself. Shapin details this motif at length, concluding, "Weight-loss the low-carb way is said to be wholly compatible with lusty connoisseurship." But diets hold on to their aura of being a disciplined regimen, thus giving dieters the best of both worlds, a illusory feeling of self control and agency as well as a moral alibi for luxurious indulgence.
So there is change in the conception of self traced by contemporary dietetics that is in perfect keeping with the demands of a consumer society: new diets show "the submergence of notions of individual volition, partly in ideas of external or genetic determination, but also through the straightforward rejection of the notion that self-control is either instrumentally necessary or morally desirable." The Atkins diet takes as its moral basis that we should indulge ourselves in the proper "real foods" when we eat, that the reward for natural eating habits (minus sugar) is being able to eat as much as we ever feel like (we'll never want more than what is right and no appetite control therefore is necessary). The reward is not better control over our impulses, but the freedom to indulge impluses completely -- this is the exalted natural state, entirely opposite of what was held to be the essence of humanity before, that is humankind's ability to exert rational control over his animal lusts. The new human is absolved of all forms of guilt, encouraged to banish guilt as a pathological sign of the aberrant self shaped and called into being by false needs (stimulated by the sugar nexus).
The result is a modern subject who feels obliged to consume as much as possible, to view his reluctance to consume as pathological, and finds his reward not in any inner-dervied satisfaction but from conforming to an ideal that comes from without, generated by a logic the subjet has never generated or asked himself to consciously affirm.

Astros manage to stay busy during Caravan
HOUSTON -- Manager Bo Porter, wearing a crisp white Astros jersey with No. 16 on the back, yelled across the field at third baseman Matt Dominguez and told him to grab a rake.
"I can rake," Dominguez said.
HOUSTON -- Manager Bo Porter, wearing a crisp white Astros jersey with No. 16 on the back, yelled across the field at third baseman Matt Dominguez and told him to grab a rake.
"I can rake," Dominguez said.
"Oh, you can rake all right," Porter responded.
Porter didn't want his up-and-coming third baseman doing too much grunt work on Monday during the first stop on the annual Astros Caravan at the Urban Youth Academy at Sylvester Turner Park on Houston's north side.
Porter would rather let Dominguez "rake" in the batter's box this season, but the 23-year-old did chip in as Astros employees and other volunteers repaired fences at the facility.
"Coming out here and helping the community is always a good thing," Dominguez said. "The more we can do this and help out the city and the Youth Academy, and make it look good, the more it will help everybody."
While Porter and Dominguez joined Hall of Fame announcer Milo Hamilton and former Astros slugger Jimmy Wynn at the Urban Youth Academy, other Astros players chipped in elsewhere around the community in an effort to reach many fans as possible.
Reliever Kevin Chapman joined new teammate Anthony Bass for a visit at Houston Methodist Hospital West before they raised an Astros flag during a ceremony at Katy Mills Mall in Katy, Texas. Outfielder L.J. Hoes, pitcher Brett Oberholtzer and former Astros pitcher Brandon Backe stopped by the Lake Jackson, Texas, volunteer fire department before raising a flag at Angleton High School.
Then there was outfielder Robbie Grossman and pitcher Lucas Harrell, who helped bag groceries at H-E-B grocery store in Cypress, Texas, before assisting with a baseball clinic for kids in Grossman's hometown on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
It's all part of the Astros' effort to broaden the reach of the Caravan, which this year includes stops that stretch as far north as Oklahoma City, as far east as Baton Rouge, La., as far south as Brownsville, Texas and as far west as San Antonio.
"A lot of our fans are honestly still out there," Porter said. "Fans know two things: they know when you win and they know when you lose. Winning breeds more and more fan support. I believe we're headed in that direction, and [president of business operations] Reid Ryan has said this since he arrived here: We have to do a better job engaging and interacting with our fans, and it starts with the Caravan and the number of places and stops in which we make. It's moving us in the right direction."
Porter, who's entering his second season as Astros manager, has lived in the Houston area for nearly two decades and was active in the community prior to joining the hometown club. On Saturday, he was at the Urban Youth Academy holding a free clinic for around 100 high school students.
"Any time you get an opportunity to engage with your fans in baseball, it's always exciting," Porter said. "And to be able to come to the Urban Youth Academy and work with The Astros Foundation and [director] Daryl Wade of the Youth Academy and his staff, it's great.
"They've done a tremendous job of reaching out the community and putting together programs that really have an impact on a lot of kids in the Houston area."
Hamilton is astounded at how the Urban Youth Academy has grown and how well it's been maintained since it opened a few years ago as the second of its kind in the nation.
"It's a great atmosphere and a great place for kids to come and learn how to play baseball," he said.
The Caravan continues on Tuesday with Bass, Oberholtzer, Hamilton and Doug Brocail making appearances in Alvin, Texas, the hometown of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan and Reid Ryan, who will help raise an Astros flag at the Nolan Ryan Exhibit Center.
The group will make a public appearance from 9 to 10 a.m. CT at Whataburger, 2305 Highway 35 in Alvin.
Astros pitcher Jarred Cosart will pay a visit to his alma mater, Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas, for classroom visits and a pep rally. He'll be joined by Porter, new teammates Jesse Crain, former Astros pitcher John Hudek and announcer Robert Ford.
There will be a free autograph signing from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. at the Academy Sports & Outdoors store at 2804 Business Center Drive in Pearland, Texas.
