This was hilarious. What was also impressive was by the time he went back to the bench, they had another pair waiting. Spurs coaching staff was on top of it lol.
Similar thing happened to Bonner sometime ago, but his was just the heel. He was also wearing New Balance,so there's that.
I'm sure you're all wondering about the shoe episode a few games back. Well, I've never had anything like that happen to me, not even remotely close. It was my fault. I had archived a couple of boxes of shoes in my garage for years, without air conditioner, and here in San Antonio the weather can go from 120 to 20 at any moment. That combination is extremely bad for the shoe material. I used one of those pairs and it happened. Luckily it's just another anecdote.
hahahahhaaahahahaa love manu. Keeps it real.

Meaningful Motion with Action-Driven Animation
Do something?
How do we animate interfaces in ways that are not just beautiful, but meaningful? When we add motion to interfaces we want to in one way or another improve the user experience, be it through aiding the comprehension of a concept, setting the mood, improving the perception of speed, or directing the attention of a user. Regardless of the intent of the animation, when animations fail to be meaningful they often fail because of the same reason; failed animations simply visualize objects morphing between being hidden and visible, rather than visualizing the actions unfolding on screen. A window rarely just closes or opens; a message is sent, a draft is discarded, an item is used.
This is essentially state-driven animation vs. action-driven animation. By applying action-driven animation you can catch yourself in the act of creating something that's not as meaningful as it could be. Are you simply morphing between states, or are you visualizing actions? Meaningful motion is about clear and engaging storytelling, and we can apply action-driven animation to remind ourselves when we're straying from that path.
State-driven animation
Let's take a look at a basic example of state-driven animation vs. action-driven animation: interacting with a modal. This is a simulation of state-driven animation being applied to a modal:
Do you wish to do something?
Do thing
As the modal appears, it fades in. Whatever button is pushed, it fades out again. What's wrong with this animation? Fading between hidden and visible isn't helpful to understand what's happening on screen, other than in underlining that an object is being shown and hidden.
You might be thinking "C'mon, what is there to understand? It's a modal. It's being hidden, and shown!". Yes, but—the user is also triggering an action. Rather than only morphing between states, we can use motion to reinforce what action is being triggered by the user.
Action-driven animation
Here's is a simulation of action-driven animation being applied to the same modal:
Now, how is this better than the previous animation? Try to ignore for the moment the aesthetics of the two. What we want to focus on is this: what does the second animation convey that the first one does not?
In the first example, with state-driven animation, we use two different animations: fading in, and fading out. Clicking Cancel and clicking Do it both triggers the fade out animation. In other words, the only thing we're differentiating between is the states of the modal: hidden vs. visible.
Contrarily, in the second example we've got three different animations, and we differ between the two actions by playing different animations depending on the chosen option. On Cancel, we clearly show that the modal is being cancelled by scaling it down and fading it out, sending it back to where it came from. When the affirmative action is selected (Do thing), we do the opposite: scale it up and fade it out, bringing it closer to the user. In other words, we're not only differentiating between states, but how you travel between those states, i.e., what actions are being performed.
It's common to think of apps as a series of views or states, and animations as a way to travel between those states. Take this Email app and two of its states:
If we do so, it's easy to in our animations neglect how these states are connected, and always use the same transition to animate between those states. Rule of thumb: if your methods are called something like showWindow() and hideWindow(), or if you're only animating opacity, you're leaving your users in the dark to figure out exactly what happened. They'll see that something changed, but not what caused that change. It's sort of like leaving a party without saying goodbye; the host won't know if you hated the party or just had to run home to do your laundry.
Action-driven animation elevates the connections between the views to become the plots of the motion. In other words, what took you between state and A and state B? In our Email app, you can get between state A (composing visible) and state B (composing hidden) in at least two different ways: either by sending an email, or by discarding an email and closing the window.
You'll make your app easier to understand by visualizing whatever caused the change of state. By creating a unique animation for every action we can help users differentiate between different action paths, and help them intuitively gain a deeper understanding of the events unfolding on screen.
When state-driven animation fails
That sounds simple, right? It's easier said than done. A while back, just before giving a talk on UI animation at a conference in Prague, I was stumped by an animation used by Tumblr. Before continuing, I want to underline that I highly respect the Tumblr design team—they've produced some admirable design, and I have on several occasions used some of their implementations as examples to be inspired by. That said, something went wrong in this specific instance.
I had just signed up for a new Tumblr account and was getting ready to make my first post. But for some reason, whatever I posted kept disappearing as I hit Post:
Or, as you can see towards the end of the clip, that's not at all what happened. Whatever option I selected, Close and Post both triggered the same animation (with the exception of a spinner showing up briefly inside the Post button when I selected Post). Nothing gave me a hint of that something had been successfully posted. The post section just disappeared.
What's gone wrong here? On first sight this animation looks meaningful and helpful. But again, we're just morphing between two states, rather than visualizing the actions unfolding on the screen. Cancelling a post and successfully posting is two fundamentally different actions, yet they share the same animation. In this instance state-driven animation doesn't just fail to be as meaningful as it could be—it's causing confusion and obfuscating what's happening.
To be fair to Tumblr, the issue is in this instance is being amplified by the Dashboard on-boarding that's floating just below the navigation, pushing down new posts below the fold. But regardless of the unlucky circumstances, the animation can be improved by moving from state-driven animation to action-driven animation. Rather than only morphing between the two states of the posting section (visible and hidden), the action of posting could be associated with an animation that clearly transitions between you writing a post, to the post being published.
Applying action-driven animation
So how do you go about using action-driven animation to improve the animations of your product? To show this in practice, I've mocked up a dummy email app (shown previously in the email illustration above). Let's look closer at the actions related to working with a message, and make the move from state-driven animation to action-driven animation together.
The first step is to list all important actions in the part of the app that you're working with, rather than all views. There are only two views involved in working with a message in our Email app, but there are four different actions. You can:
Create a new message
Discard the message
Close the message and save it as a draft
If we just faded between the different views, this is what it would look like working with the app (going through the different actions in the order above):
To create more meaningful animations we need to look critically at every fade and ask ourselves: what actions are being taken?
Choosing a storytelling axis
Before we create a unique animation for every action, let's settle on a primary axis to weave our storytelling around. If you're interacting with something that will affect yourself or the user directly (e.g. a modal asking you if you want to continue), the Z axis is usually the best choice. If we weave our storytelling around the Z axis, like we did in our modal example earlier, we can make the modal move closer towards you as you choose an affirmative action (scaling up the modal, almost as if it lifts off the screen and travels towards you), and we can make it move away from you as you dismiss it. The Z axis reinforces that the modal relates to you.
When you're interacting with something that relates to someone else, like an email message that you're about to send off to someone, your best choice of primary axis is usually the Y axis. By moving something rapidly upwards along the Y axis and making it exit the screen while still accelerating away from you, we reinforce the concept of you sending off something to someone else. It's almost as if you're taking an envelope and sending it off to its next destination. Or as if you're using a salmon cannon:
Since we're working with an email message here that we'll eventually send off to someone else, let's pick the Y axis as our primary axis. What that in mind, let's break down every action and animation, before reviewing it all together.
Creating a new email
Rather than only fading in a new message once you create it, we can animate the window to make it appear like we're summoning a new message from below. Just like how in this lovely GIF (by Jonas Mosesson) the toast appears with a bounce from below:
In the same vein, we can fade in the message as we animate it upwards along the Y axis, but we'll make it stay in view:
This animation is by itself not much more meaningful than only fading in and out, but it starts to get interesting as soon as we start adding the other animations that are clearly different from this, but connected to the same storyline.
Discarding a message
Once you discard an email we can make it fall back down, returning it to where it came from. Here I'm also applying a slight tilt to the window on its way down to illustrate that you're throwing it away (rather than storing it somewhere). As if you're dropping a piece of paper, rather than putting it away neatly:
Sending a message
Once you hit send, let's shoot it off, away from us (and hopefully towards a recipient):
With those three actions visualized in distinctly different ways, we've now got a clear story created around how messages are created, discarded, and sent off. Even though you might not infer the meaning of all the animations on first sight (they're not necessarily intuitive), they're clearly different and connected to an action each, and you can at the very least learn how to tell the different animations apart.
Saving as a draft
We've got one more action to cover. Saving a draft is crucially not the same thing as closing the window and discarding an email. Again, we're dealing with actions, not states. It's not a matter of showing or hiding objects, it's a matter of visualizing the events unfolding on screen.
If we try to close the new message window while writing a message, we're asked if we want to discard the email, or save it as a draft. Given that someone chooses "Save as draft", what's important to convey? At least two things, 1) that the message is being saved as a draft somewhere, and 2) exactly where that somewhere is. We want users of our app to understand where they can find that draft later, so that they can send it when the time is right:
This animation clearly shows how your message message gets stored in your outbox, and it even tells you where your outbox is located! We've restricted ourselves to animating along the Y-axis up to this point to enforce the concept of creating something and sending it off. Now that we're deviating from that storyline and instead storing a message, we can drop the axis restriction and shrink the message while we move it towards the outbox icon.
To make it clear that we're storing the message inside the outbox (and not just shrinking and hiding the message window), we're adding another effect: as the message window arrives at the outbox icon, we make the outbox icon grow with a small bounce effect (as if it swallows the message), and we add a small counter indicating that your number of saved drafts just increased from 0 to 1. This animation doesn't just tell you what events are being triggered: it teaches you how the app works, and how to navigate it.
Review: before & after
Before we started applying action-driven animation, we faded views in and out, which gave the false impression of us using animations to make the experience better. The animations looked a bit better than simply popping views in and out of view, but the animations didn't add much value in terms of helping users understand of what events were unfolding on screen. This is an example of state-driven animation, and it looked like this:
After critically reviewing every animation and asking ourselves what each animation should convey and how best to do so, we iterated on the experience and created a set of animations that each conveys what events are unfolding on screen. We did so with the help of action-driven animation, which helps us identify the number of animations that we need to create through its focus on possible action paths, rather than on possible states. After applying action-driven animation, this is what our prototype looks like:
In sum
I divided UI animations into two different models: state-driven animation and action-driven animation. I argued that the first model tends to produce animations that lack any significant meaning; they are not helpful. I presented an example from Tumblr to illustrate how state.driven animation can, even when it looks beautiful, miscommunicate and cause confusion.
I argued that a better way to work with animations is to focus on the actions or events that are being triggered, which I call action-driven animation. We reviewed how this technique can be applied to a modal and an email app, and how it aids users in understanding what actions and events are unfolding before them, but also how the app works, and how to navigate it.
Is action-driven animation always better? The statistician George Box famously said "All models are wrong but some are useful". He elaborated:
All models are wrong but some are useful […] The only question of interest is "Is the model illuminating and useful?"
In the same vein, action-driven animation is not a model that claims to absolutely explain or prove how an app should be animated. It's a simplified way of thinking about motion that you can apply to review the interface animations of an app or product to create more meaningful animations. I've found it useful to use in my work, and I hope you will, too.
Although no code has been shared in this post, all of the examples that I created are animated with the lovely anime.js library (by Julian Garnier). If you want to play around with the email prototype and its animations, feel free download all the example code and have a look around. All icons are from Google's Material.

When Martin has a good day, I allow myself some daydreaming about life once he recovers.
So far, today has not been great. But yesterday was pretty good, and I did some daydreaming. I asked myself this: What is my No. 1 goal? If I could pick one facet of recovery wherein we succeed without qualification, what would it be?
In post after post, I've extolled my husband, Adrian. We are (quoting a pal) the Disturbingly Happy Couple, co-participants in a head-butting, growling, grappling marriage of equal parts challenge and laughter. Without Adrian, I would, no doubt, lack the strength to recover Martin.
But there is another achievement of my adult life that I value just as much as my marriage: the ability to build and maintain friendships.
I didn't have close friends growing up. That is to say, until I was in my 20's I kept myself apart from others. I can perceive now that I had too little self-esteem as a young person, and that I masked that shortcoming with too much self-confidence—meaning that I ignored the needs of my peers and expected them to care for mine, without reciprocity. I had acquaintances, and "friends" in the sense of people with whom I interacted socially, but I never opened up to anyone. And if anyone tried to open up to me, I shut down.
As an adult, fortunately, I got better at internalizing humility in a way that led to more genuine relationships. It was a painstaking process, learning to unlock feelings and to expose my own weaknesses, and especially, to empathize. Inviting others out "just to talk." Listening. Returning phone calls, writing thank-you notes, keeping track of what was going on in homes besides my own.
Closer friendships—I realize that this probably isn't news to anyone but me—improved my life immeasurably. Today I marvel at the bone-headedness of self-isolation.
Adrian and I do RDI therapy with Martin. Last spring we watched a five-hour video explaining how RDI works. The first couple hours made for pretty awful viewing; a doctor enumerated the neurological bases for autism, and how those behaviors manifest themselves behaviorally. Dismal statistics appeared on-screen, noting that even the highest-functioning ASD adults, traditionally treated, do not live independently or enjoy significant peer relationships. Then the doctor appeared and reiterated that, unless their course of development is altered, high-functioning children with autism will not learn to make and keep friends. They will never have significant peer relationships.
I think she must be wrong. I think her son must care.
Martin will care if he has friends. And so will I, always.

Życiorys
Urodził się jako najstarsze z ośmiorga dzieci kierowcy ciężarówki, jego rodzina miała tradycje socjaldemokratyczne. W młodości był biegaczem średnio- i długodystansowym (w tym mistrzem Karyntii w tej dziedzinie), a także członkiem kadry juniorów Austrii w biegach narciarskich. Zdobył wykształcenie średnie. W 1970 rozpoczął praktykę jako urzędnik bankowy w Volksbanku w Feldkirchen in Kärnten, od 1976 do 1985 kierował oddziałem tego banku w Ossiach. Później od 1985 do 1998 był menedżerem magazynu browaru w Feldkirchen in Kärnten, a od 1999 do 2001 kierował magazynem browaru Schleppe w Klagenfurcie.

Należał do Wolnościowej Partii Austrii, od 2005 po rozłamie w niej działał w Sojuszu na rzecz Przyszłości Austrii. Od 2004 był członkiem władz Karyntii, a od 2006 pierwszym zastępcą Jörga Haidera. Odpowiadał za turystykę, transport, budowę dróg, wsparcie rodzin i starszych oraz przedszkola. Po śmierci Haidera od 11 października 2008 tymczasowo pełnił obowiązki starosty krajowego, 23 października wybrano go na to stanowisko. W 2009 po wygranych wyborach uzyskał reelekcję na stanowisko, wybrano go także do landtagu.

Life has been chaotic and tiring this week, full of hurdles and pebbles to trip us up. Personalities and agendas having to be negotiated, but all done now – hopefully, so I feel able to settle back into my world for a bit. Even though I am a very "loud" person and have robust opinions, I am very painfully shy, and struggle with holding unnecessary conversations.. need I say more…!!
I have managed to do some more work on my Edwardian Steam-Punk Shawl. Perhaps I ought to rename it again? I am watching The Mill on Sunday Nights at the present. Rather knocks the corners of my romantic image of working in textiles day and night… The girls all in their dark, bedraggled clothing and having to fight daily battles just to exist. Rather put my issues and problems into perspective, so obviously it is the stuff to watch when we get back from meetings encompassing difficult issues.
The Patriotic Socks are for me, stocking up for winter in view of how so many have broken and worn out this year. I am still thinking through what would be a suitable burial project to remember them by – I am sort of thinking crazy Victorian Velvet patchwork vibe.
Other stuff is to hand, but I am going to get these under way and finished off first.
Unfortunately my painting has taken a back seat… no trundling and no spare time… but I do have some projects there to pick up again.
Really great fun – I would highly recommend it… very simple and straight forward to undertake, minimum equipment, all available off the internet, and minimum of artistic ability required to achieve cracking results. Here is a video to wet your appetite.

SPOTLIGHT ON SUNNY RAVANBACH OF WHITE LILAC INC.
Wednesday, December 2, 2020 - 09:01
As the founder of White Lilac Inc. – one of Southern California's most in-demand planning and event design groups – Sunny Ravanbach is the embodiment of style, entrepreneurship, and vision. White Lilac is the team behind countless lavish events throughout Los Angeles and beyond (several have been featured in Wedding Style), and Sunny has a certain knack for taking a concept and translating it into something tangible, bespoke, and aesthetically pleasing. Here are a few fun facts about the woman behind White Lilac Inc., and the unique story that led to the creation of this top luxury design firm.
sunny-ravanbach-white-lilac.jpg
She's from Iran.
Having an international background and being well-traveled are certainly beneficial when it comes to dealing with a diverse demographic of clients and tastes. Sunny was born in Iran and was fortunate to grow up within a hub of creativity; her mother was one of the country's first women to work in TV, so Sunny recalls most of her childhood being spent on set with producers and set designers.
She had no intention of becoming an event designer.
Sunny has an undergrad degree in English and attended graduate school for Russian Literature Theory, with absolutely no intention of being a wedding planner or event designer. "My first event was completely by accident," she says, as the opportunity arose when a friend randomly asked if she wanted to make a bid for an upcoming wedding.
sunny-ravanbach-white-lilac-inc.jpg
Sunny's first wedding landed her a feature in Town & Country magazine.
After putting in a bid of $27K for a wedding and booking her first client, Sunny ended up having to borrow an extra $100K from her uncle to cover the lighting, tenting, carpeting, and florals. Fortunately, it turned out to be a worthwhile investment when that wedding was featured in Town & Country magazine as the "most romantic wedding of 1999."
She serves as an entrepreneurial role model.
Sunny has given lectures about entrepreneurship at institutions like the University of California. "You cannot plan your life," she says. "You have to put one foot in front of the other and let life direct you where it needs to take you; because, if you force it, you'll never really find your passion."

William James Linton (ed.):
46) The Illuminated Magazine. New series, nos. I-II
The inconspicuous New Series had only a small print run, and, accordingly, copies are very rare. The copy in the collection has a bookplate of novelist John Fowles.
In the final volume of the magazine that Jerrold had edited, he had announced "a change in the management" and a new start "with more numerous engravings." Linton was the one who took over the editorship, and he changed the bulky quarto format of the first series into a size "that could scarcely incommode a gentleman's waistcoat pocket". Due to the few assets he was able to invest, he devoted the new series "more to the power of the pen than to the productions of the pencil," in other words: he not only considerably reduced the size of the journal, but also the number of illustrations. He continued to engage some of the best authors from the former series, like Charles Whitehead or Angus B. Reach, but he was forced to write a good deal of the articles by himself. "Another facet of Linton's individualistic, undiscriminating editorial courage is his publication in the Illuminated Magazine of several then forgotten works by Charles Wells. (...) Their mutual admiration of Wells´ poetry was later to bring Linton and Rossetti into close aquaintance. Rossetti introduced Wells´ work to Swinburne and William Morris, and his chivalric rhetoric and loose rhythmic form were to have an important influence on English poetry in the 1870s and 1880s." (F.B. Smith)


No rinsing or spitting the first 24 hours.
Brush and floss all teeth, avoiding the extraction site for 2-3 days.
Keep up a good diet with plenty of liquids. Do not use straws. Avoid hard foods like chips, nuts, and popcorn.
Avoid smoking for at least 24 hours.
A cold pack applied on and off the first 24-48 hours will minimize swelling.
If a bone graft was placed you should avoid the site for up to six weeks. An antibacterial rinse may be given to use twice daily.

Die katholische Filialkirche St. Johannes Baptist liegt auf einem Hügel am Ortsrand des Meringer Ortsteiles Meringerzell im Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg im bayerischen Regierungsbezirk Schwaben. Das schlichte Gotteshaus ist einer der ältesten Sakralbauten des Augsburger Umlandes, dessen mittelalterliche Ausmalung 1985 teilweise freigelegt werden konnte. Die Johannes dem Täufer geweihte Kirche gehört zu den geschützten Baudenkmälern in Bayern.

Geschichte
Wahrscheinlich entstand die Kirche um 1010, als Herzog Welf II. den Ort dem Kloster Altomünster übereignete. Möglicherweise lag vorher ein befestigter Hof des Ortsadels "von Cella" auf dem Hügel. Die Zeller waren sicherlich Dienstmannen der Herren von Mering, die der welfischen Ministerialität angehörten. Das Kloster Altomünster war während der Ungarneinfälle zerstört worden, der Wiederaufbau wurde von den Welfen gefördert. Einige Historiker vermuten hier die sogar die Taufkirche der Pfarrei Mering, die bereits 982 bis 988 errichtet worden sein soll.

Von der hochmittelalterlichen Kirche haben sich noch große Teile erhalten, die eine Datierung um das Jahr 1000 bestätigen. Etwa hundert Jahre später erweiterte man den Gründungsbau um einen nahezu quadratischen östlichen Altarraum.

Um 1400 wurde dieser Altarraum abgebrochen und durch einen größeren, dreiseitig schließenden Polygonalchor ersetzt. Im nördlichen Chorwinkel wurde ein Turm errichtet, dessen Untergeschoss als Sakristei diente. Meringerzell war vermutlich in der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts ein eigenständiger Pfarrsitz. (1427 Hainrich der Motz, Pfarrer zu Meringerzell).

Ihrem Rang als Pfarrkirche entsprechend wurde die Kirche aufwändig ausgemalt. Auch das Äußere scheint damals bemalt worden zu sein, wie das Malereifragment über dem Portal nahelegt.

In der Barockzeit gestaltete man den Innenraum um, errichtete den zweigeschossigen Sakristeianbau auf der Südseite und vergrößerte die Fenster.

Im 19. Jahrhundert empfand man diese Barockausstattung als nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Um die Mitte des Jahrhunderts wurde die Kirche in neugotischen Stilformen neu ausgestattet. Der heutige Hochaltar kam 1881 in das Presbyterium.

1954 verlängerte man die Kirche nach Westen und baute die Empore ein. 1960 entfernte man die beiden Seitenaltäre und veränderte das Gestühl nach praktischen Gesichtspunkten.

1982 bis 1985 wurde eine aufwändige Sanierung durchgeführt. Durch die Freilegung der mittelalterlichen Wandmalereien konnte die einstige Bedeutung einer der ältesten erhaltenen Kirchen Bayerisch-Schwabens wieder erlebbar gemacht werden.

Bei der jüngsten Restaurierung 2012 wurde für das Taufbecken und den neuen Volksaltar aus Glas, gegossenem Messing und farbiger LED-Beleuchtung bewusst eine moderne Gestaltung gewählt.

Beschreibung

Außenbau
Das Gotteshaus liegt inmitten des Friedhofes auf einer Anhöhe, die von einer verputzten Umfassungsmauer mit Strebepfeilern umlaufen wird. Langhaus und Chor tragen ein gemeinsames, ziegelgedecktes Satteldach. Der Chor ist nur wenig eingezogen. An seiner Nordseite erhebt sich der Turm. Auf dem quadratischen hochmittelalterlichen Sockelgeschoss sitzen zwei Obergeschosse, die im 19. Jahrhundert historisierend verändert und mit einem steilen Pyramidenhelm bekrönt wurden. Die Ecken der Obergeschosse sind abgeschrägt und werden durch Lisenen gerahmt.

An der Südseite ist die zweistöckige Sakristei angebaut.

Das Langhaus verrät seinen romanischen Ursprung durch den Rungbogensims unter dem Dachtrauf, der bei der Kirchenerweiterung nach Westen weitergeführt wurde. Große Barockfenster belichten das Innere. Über dem Portal auf der Südseite ist ein Fragment der ehemaligen Außenbemalung erhalten. Der sitzende Heilige wirkt auf den ersten Blick romanisch, wird aber auf die Zeit um 1430 (nach Dehio wohl 17. Jahrhundert) datiert und entstand damit etwa gleichzeitig mit dem 1985 freigelegten Jüngsten Gericht der Innenwand. Die Datierung wird vor allem von der Ausführung des Heiligenscheins abgeleitet, dessen dunkel hinterlegte Strahlen typisch für diese Epoche sind. Vielleicht wurde hier ein romanisches Wandbild in gotischer Zeit ausgebessert. Auch unter dem Jüngsten Gericht der Innenwand haben sich ältere Fragmente aus dem 13. Jahrhundert erhalten.

Innenraum
Das rechteckige Langhaus wird von einer einfachen Stuckdecke überspannt. Embleme in kartuschenähnlichen Feldern werden von Bandel- und Laubwerkstuck und schlichten Rahmungen begleitet. Der Stuckdekor wurde um 1720 vermutlich von Matthias Lotter ausgeführt. Die Stuckaturen neben den Nischen der Seitenaltäre wurden erst während der Generalsanierung von 1982/85 hinzugefügt. Auch die Nischen selbst stammen von dieser historisierenden Restaurierung. Als Rest der neugotischen Ausstattung wurde der Hochaltar von 1881 in der Kirche belassen. Das filigrane Retabel wird durch drei Baldachine gegliedert. Im Zentrum steht die Figurengruppe der Taufe Christi durch den Kirchenpatron. Seitlich stehen die Bistumsheiligen Ulrich von Augsburg und die heilige Afra.

Von den ehemaligen Seitenaltären sind nur die beiden Figuren der Madonna und des heiligen  Leonhard in der Kirche verblieben und wurden in den Seitenaltarnischen aufgestellt.

Jüngstes Gericht
Das bedeutendste Kunstwerk der Kirche ist das große gotische Wandbild des Jüngsten Gerichtes, das lange unter einigen Farbschichten verborgen war. Während der Sanierung von 1982/85 konnte der Eglinger Restaurator Norbert Fischer hier eines der wenigen Zeugnisse gotischer Wandmalerei im Umkreis Augsburgs freilegen und konservieren. Die Seccomalereien werden um 1410/20 datiert und erinnern an ältere Augsburger Vorbilder, etwa die 1979 bis 1981 aufgedeckten Darstellungen in der Westkrypta des Augsburger Domes. Sie zeigen auch Einflüsse aus Böhmen und Oberitalien, erinnern jedoch gleichzeitig auch an Werke der Volkskunst.

Es lassen sich zwei Künstlerhände unterscheiden. Offenbar war hier ein älterer Meister mit seinem jungen Gesellen am Werk. Der Meister war noch in der Tradition des ausgehenden 14. Jahrhunderts verhaftet, der Geselle ließ bereits modernere Stilmittel in sein Werk einfließen, scheint aber in maltechnischer Hinsicht noch etwas unsicher gewesen zu sein.

Im linken unteren Eck erkennt man ein Stifterbild. Der Stifter kniet vor dem  heiligen Wolfgang von Regensburg. Rechts davon hat sich ein zugesetztes Fenster erhalten, in dessen Laibung ein junger und ein älterer Krieger den Miles christianus, den christlichen Ritter, repräsentieren.

Darüber sitzen Apostel als Beisitzer beim Gericht. Der Zyklus wird anschließend durch eines der großen Barockfenster gestört, unter dem sich ehemals wohl die Darstellung des Himmelstores befand.

Die Mittelszene zeigt oben Christus als Weltenrichter. Darunter entsteigen die Toten als Selige (links) bzw. Verdammte (rechts) ihren Gräbern. Einer der Seligen ist ein Herrscher des damals verbreiteten König-Sigismund-Typs, auch der Papst darf ins Paradies einziehen. Auf der rechten Seite müssen auch ein Bischof und ein reicher junger Mann den Teufeln in die Hölle folgen.

Rechts oben neben einem weiteren Fenster sind wieder drei Apostel als Beisitzer ausgeführt. Die Szenen wurden oben von einem Maßwerkfries mit Fabeltieren abgeschlossen, der sich nur links erhalten hat. Den unteren Abschluss bildet eine Bordüre mit Vierpässen.

Director: Richard Ayoade
Genre(s): Dramas
Being diffident, introverted and generally awkward in social situations, Simon finds his life increasingly difficult as he feels unappreciated in his work life, disparaged by his disappointed mother and rejected by his only love interest. Unable to find the courage to turn his life around, things are about to get much, much worse as a new employee at his company named James shows up. James is Simon's ultimate doppelganger, and his appearance only serves to make Simon increasingly more nervous as, although they are identical in looks, they are total opposites in personalities with James possessing a much more confident and magnetic character.

Lone Star College students at the University Park campus had to momentarily evacuate one of the buildings after smoke was reported in the commons area.
The college sent out a tweet just before 11 a.m. Tuesday stating there was an emergency and told students to calmly evacuate Building 12/13 and move away from the building.

Lone Star College Police Chief Paul Willingham stated in a tweet that smoke had been reported in the commons area of the building and said a fire department was on scene.
Less than 15 minutes later, Willingham sent out another tweet stating the building had been cleared by the fire department for re-entry.
Willingham said the cause of the smoke was a burnt motor, which caused smoke to enter the HVAC system. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Our 2005 Vehicle of the Year face-off featured some difficult competition, but from the outset, we knew the brand-new Toyota Tacoma was mosting likely to be a serious gamer: larger and also bolder looks, a strong powertrain, a large renovation over the previous version. In the long run, it took home the well-deserved honors, which earned it an area in our lasting fleet for a 1 year assessment - 2007 toyota Tacoma Prerunner V6.
We opted for the PreRunner with a TRD package-it supplied the challenging looks of a determined 4 × 4, sans the weight of a transfer case, added driveshaft, and all the front-axle parts that would certainly've included practically 400 extra pounds. The weight cost savings gave a great quantity of added throttle action and also much better total fuel economy. Regrets? Choosing the runningboard step rails ($ 369). They just weren't useful, really did not fit with the truck's stance, and left dust on the back of a motorist's pant legs.
In its first six months, our Radiant Red RWD Tacoma verified so preferred, the odometer clicked up one more 5000 miles every 2 months, with trips to Reno and also Phoenix, and it spent hrs of abuse responsibility in Southern California web traffic. Testers noted the vehicle felt limited as well as strong from the start, with only a single comment made concerning the seals around the rear doors, a typically difficult area in which to prevent extended-cab air leakages. Beyond that, the majority of logbook access concentrated on just how solid the engine and also transmission really felt, visibly elevating the front end when beginning with a period. One driver wrote that the PreRunner reminded him of a sprinter at a start line, tensely awaiting the gun to fire. The interior obtained high praise from all personnel, with its countless cupholders and huge lockable storage space container, with even a few concealed areas under the rear fold-down seats. Team professional photographers liked the integrated 115V inverter, which permitted them to plug in their laptop computers to download photos promptly following a shoot. It also helped keep electronic camera batteries charged-though a plug inside the taxicab, in addition to the one in the bed, would've been even more valuable.
The Tacoma performed numerous towing jobs, running into minimal tail wiggle even with a 3500-pound Fleetwood camper in back. The truck's soft rear springtimes suggested taking precautions regarding tongue weights so as to not direct fronts lights right into approaching website traffic throughout evening driving. Fuel economic situation averaged 13.8 mpg when lugging, the center console shifter making for very easy maneuvering between 3rd and also fourth equipments in order to help maintain the engine revs in the greatest part of the powerband-a good thing lugging up qualities at elevation. Various other towables consisted of a rented U-Haul trailer (from Sacramento to Los Angeles) as well as a microsize foldout camper. Lots of outdoor camping equipment, colders, and mtb have actually been filled into the bed, dragged and also banged around, without making a considerable scratch, thanks to the weight-saving composite bed.
The Tacoma's initial solution at 5000 miles was routine, setting you back about $45; however at the 10,000-mile mark, a couple of issues needed to be dealt with under warranty. First, some brake vibration and a mild "beat," then among the window networks started to stick, as well as lastly, the AIR CONDITIONER recirc light blinked, then went out totally, making us suspect the whole air-conditioning system (not a good thing during a L.a summertime). Ends up the brake pole needed adjusting, the home window channel required some lube, and it was only a burnt recirc light in the A/C (which indicated the entire A/C control system had to be replaced due to the fact that there was no other way to just transform the recirc light bulb). The 10,000-mile service expense $45 also.
Not a surprises at 15,000 miles, either, although the home window network again needed to be relubricated with the standard solution setting you back $138.45, due to some deeper maintenance checks. After 20,000 miles, the brake pedal resonance returned again, yet after a front-disc resurface, all went back to typical. Cost: $68.08.
Tires were turned at every service interval (5000 miles) and our BFGs appeared as if they would certainly last at least 40,000 miles. Regarding fuel economy, a great deal relied on who was driving (lead- versus featherfeet), however the Tacoma averaged simply under 18 mpg, with an ideal long-haul freeway travelling standard of 22 mpg.
There's plenty of truck below for $25K: The Tacoma stood up under considerable usage as well as abuse and also showed significantly popular with our team during its time here. It's not surprising that it's become the very successful small or midsize pickup in the U.S. Ford and also GM, Nissan as well as Honda, are you keeping in mind?
" I such as exactly how they have actually slotted 3rd as well as 4th an easy slide from each various other on the shifter-makes it perfect for men who tow to maintain the engine accelerates. We maintained a continuous 75 mph up Donner Pass (7500-foot altitude), with a 3500-pound Fleetwood no worry."
" Chassis does a respectable task of maintaining points silent below you on a lengthy freeway drive (we took a trip to Arizona), yet observed on some high-wind areas, the seals around the back doors get loud."
" Can't actually call this a small any longer. Lots of room. And for the engine-what a great surprise when you get on the throttle. It truly rises and scoots. Weight financial savings on the 2WD appears to help. A great deal of character for $25K.".
" Simply spent 3 days of prerunning for a future truck test-this TRD plan is a lot more in the house on a truck-wide dirt road than it is on a concrete freeway-you can nearly feel its sigh of relief when it leaves the pavement.".

The Applied Anthropology Laboratories (AAL) at Ball State University conducted a data enhancement project for archaeological resources in Newton County, Indiana for a FY2014 Historic Preservation Fund Grant (Grant #18-14-FFY-03). This Historic Preservation Fund grant project investigated the archaeological resources of Newton County, Indiana with a focus on the Iroquois and Kankakee Rivers and the southern half of the county. Approximately 902.84 acres (365.33 hectares) of agricultural land were surveyed and 89 new archaeological sites were recorded. The survey recovered 55 prehistoric artifacts and 1274 historic artifacts from eight parcels of land within Newton County. No human remains were discovered as a result of this grant project. Cultural periods that are represented in the artifact assemblage include Late Archaic components that were documented from the precontact era, in addition to Historic components. The average site density recorded for the project area for precontact sites was one site per 36.11 acres and for Historic sites was one site per 12.20 acres.

INICIO // English // Mexican scientist goes to Antartica to fight climate change

Mexican scientist goes to Antartica to fight climate change
Sandra Guzmán, the first female Mexican scientist to travel to Antarctica, is on a mission is to find ways to fight climate change more effectively
Sandra Guzmán, the first female Mexican scientist to travel to the Antartica, told EFE that her goal is to study from several angles the effects of climate change to correctly transmit information and generate actions that can help fight this problem.
Guzmán, an environmental activist for over 15 years, is proud of her role as the sole Mexican in this expedition of 78 women, which is trying to shed light on "the type of actions needed to address [climate change] at a global scale."
This February 17, the women selected by the leadership program Homeward Bound departed for the frozen territory to visit the operation centers of several countries "to see the progress made" on the subject.
One of the main problems Guzmán has detected is the lack of skill in relaying the information generated at the research centers to Governments and civil society.
(Photo courtesy of the Chilean Antartic Institute to EFE)
"There's a lot of information being generated in Antarctica but not all of it is public," claimed the founder and coordinator of the Climate Finance Group for Latin America and the Caribbean (GFLAC).
For this reason, the expert wants to identify "these gaps in information" and transmit it to international Heads of State "starting with the President" of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto.
Antartica is a continent of which we know little. It's composed of 90% ice and has the largest reserves of fresh water in the planet.
This vast frozen land "helps regulate climate," acting as a counterweight to global warming. Unfortunately, it is melting at an accelerated pace and "if temperatures continue increasing, Antartida will not be enough to regulate climate," Guzmán warned.
(Photo courtesy of the Australian Antarctic Division to EFE)
The other concern the scientist has is the death of native species, such as penguins, who starve due to a lack of food.
If temperatures increase, algae species die, affecting the fish which feed on them, and these, in turn, affect the penguins who feed on fish, not only in the Antartida but in other parts of the world. "All species are connected in one way or another," reason why Guzmán claims penguin deaths are the consequence of the alteration to the food and reproductive chains caused by climate change.
Talking about the project the female scientists have embarked on, Guzmán is confident they will be able to provide new ideas as they are capable of seeing things from a different angle.
"As women, we have a stronger conservation sense than men, and this is something that characterizes us, we share a more collective vision," she said, convinced of the potential of this conviction.

Since the late 1970s, the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute has provided this column free in cooperation with the
UAF research community.

The entrance to the upper-atmosphere research station near Gakona,
which is now owned by the University of Alaska.
Research station
now operated by UAF
after military bows out.
Instead of falling to the dozer blade, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program has new life.
In mid-August, U.S. Air Force General Tom Masiello shook hands with UAF's Brian Rogers and Bob McCoy, transferring the powerful upper-atmosphere research facility from the military to a 'civilian' university.
You may have heard of HAARP.
Nick Begich wrote a book about it

Muse recorded a live album, HAARP, at Wembley Stadium from a stage filled with antennas meant to resemble those standing on a gravel pad off the Tok Cutoff Road
The science-fiction assertions of caribou walking backwards, human mind control and HAARP's ability to change the weather have made researchers wince. It's hard to describe a complicated instrument that sends invisible energy into a zone no one can see.
HAARP is a group of high-frequency radio transmitters powered by four diesel tugboat generators and one from a locomotive. The transmitters send a focused beam of radio-wave energy into the aurora zone.
There, that energy can stimulate a speck of the electrical sun-Earth connection about 100 miles above our heads.
Why did university higher-ups swing the door back open for the conspiracy theorists?
Why not let HAARP go quietly back to boreal forest?
"Even though it's esoteric and hard to understand, it's the best," said Bob McCoy, head of UAF's Geophysical Institute, which now has the keys to the complex, located off mile 11.3 of the Tok Cutoff Road.
The facility is the best tool to study a region above Earth we know little about, McCoy said.
Of three such ionospheric heaters in the world, in,
soon-to-be in Puerto Rico,
...HAARP (in Alaska) is the "most powerful and agile of the three," according to Craig Heinselman, director of the facility in Norway.
At an interview in his office on the UAF campus, McCoy said meetings with others in the space physics community convinced him HAARP was worth saving.
During a 2013 workshop with potential users who study the shell of ionized plasma that coats the planet from 40 to 600 miles over our heads, researchers said they would use HAARP if the university took it over.
"(With HAARP), it is now possible to conduct controlled experiments, versus simply watching and waiting for the sun to perturb space and attempting to learn from studying its response," Herbert Carlson of Utah State University said during the workshop.
What's to be gained from perturbing space?
The ionosphere carries satellite and radio signals that are disturbed during solar storms.
"With heat, we can create a disturbance and watch how quickly it dissipates," said Bill Bristow, a space physicist and the Geophysical Institute's point man on HAARP.
"We can generate irregularities to test the effects on satellite to ground radio systems. We don't have to wait for Mother Nature to generate conditions."
Since it opened in 2003 with funding the late Ted Stevens helped secure, HAARP hosted many scientists doing applied research for the military.
One such study was using the antenna array to heat a part of the ionosphere that in turn acted as a low frequency antenna that could send an ocean-penetrating signal to a submarine.
That ping could tell a submarine captain to surface in order to receive conventional radio communications.
"The military had specific objectives, now we can do more basic science," Bristow said. "It will help us with general ionospheric/thermospheric modeling, like how do ions and neutrons couple in the upper atmosphere?"
HAARP is now open, but the transmitters have been cool since spring of 2014.
With the transfer from the military to the university, Bill Bristow and McCoy are now looking for customers - scientists funded to travel to central Alaska on two-week campaigns in which they fire the transmitters for 10 hours each day.
There are no customers yet. But McCoy and Bristow are confident they will be able to pay back a $2 million loan from the University of Alaska statewide office.
That money is now keeping the lights on at HAARP and funding other costs of operation.
The complex maze of antennas
and other complex equipment used by HAARP researchers.
Bristow said the worst-case scenario is that few or no researchers step forward and they are forced to sell HAARP instruments to recover the loan cost.
Best-case: scientists use it, a national entity sponsors the cost of operating HAARP (as NASA does for the institute's Poker Flat Research Range) and,
"we run it as a research facility indefinitely."
The clock is ticking to repay the loan, McCoy said.
"I've got three years to find customers," he said. "We're sticking our necks out here, but it is the best in the world and somebody spent $300 million to build it."

Q: Is there anything that can help my water to break if the due date is past, and I don't want the doctors to break it for me? For natural births, I know a lot of walking can help pregnant women dilate and different pelvic excersises can also make labor a little easier.
A: In a word? Wait. Unless there is a medical reason for your doctor to break your water or induce labor, let nature take its course. Contrary to what you may have seen in the movies, your water doesn't always break before labor starts. You could be in active labor, already at the hospital, and fully dilated before it breaks. It can actually be a good thing for your water not to break right away -- you'll have more time for labor to happen naturally. Once the water does break, the clock starts ticking a bit more as to how long you can be in labor since ruptured membranes may increase infection.


I know most peoeple here have strong opinions about this. I was wondering what other people think.
Personally, ia m still pro midwife, don't think I could do the unassisted thing.
I'm completely in favour of midwifery. I was contemplating becoming a midwife, actually. In the hospitals, women are taken away the beauty of the right of passage that birth is. They are trying now to make it special again in some areas (I have seen and heard of some very nice situations in the hospitals here), but the majority of hospitals hook you and the baby up to a machine, tell ya to push, and now that the baby is out, measure, weigh, poke, okay now feed, congrats you're a citizen, momma get that breast out.
The birth process is absolutely beautiful. Many people don't realize, though, how big of a rite of passage it is for the mother.
Still, medical intervention has become necesary many times. I do believe that women carry the ability to give birth unassisted, alone, and have the instincts to care for their newborn immediately. I think it is a family's choice, and I applaud women who choose to do this, but at the same time wish they had a midwife present.
You can bet when it comes time for my pregnancy and birth, I'll be enlisting the aide of a good midwife.
I have three children and all three of them were born with medical assistance.
My first and my last baby were breeched. I was able to give birth naturally to my first daughter, but my third daughter was a c-section birth. I wish, the Dr. would have taken the risk of letting me give birth instead of doing the "easy way out" c-section.
My second daughter was a normal birth, but I was in the hospital with her too.
It made me feel safe to know that there are trained, experienced people to help me if something goes wrong – especially with the breeched babies.
I would suggest, have somebody trained with you in case of complications. A Midwife would be a great solution, if you don't want sterile hospital environment and tubes all over your body. Though, if you ever gave birth, you know how messy it is. Are you sure you're willing to clean afterwards?
In Germany "birthing houses" offer a "cosy" less medical environment and trained personnel (midwifes) is available.
In my opinion, the dangers of a completely home alone birth outweigh the positive experience. Giving birth is and has always been "risky business" for women. Naturally, but risky!
Of course I won't tell anybody what to do. If a woman wants to do home birthing all by herself (or with her partner) that's her choice. Preferably, Have someone close to get help if you should need it.
One thing in the article doesn't sit right with me! A four year old attending a birth? I'm not sure if this is suitable for a child to watch. It might be too scary! As spiritual the experience can be for the mother, I'm not sure 4 years is old enough to appreciate the miracle of birth in the same way!

Apple launches thousands of iPad apps
By Adam Hartley 2010-04-02T09:00:00.91Z Apple
Pre-launch iPad software now available
2,500 iPad apps already available for download in the US iTunes Store a day before the device launches
The iTunes store already has more than 2,500 iPad apps, many of which will be well-known to regular iPhone users, with Apple releasing the new iPad apps a day before the official launch of the new tablet PC device in the US.
The apps range from new (and upgraded) games, through to entertainment, news, travel and reference applications.
US users can view all of the newapplications for Apple's iPad now in the iTunes App Store
Comics, TV, newspapers
Apps such as Twitterific, AIM and Pandora will be familiar to iPhone users, while new apps such as the new Marvel comic reader, Netflix and new iPad-friendly versions of leading national newspapers in the US are already garnering rave reviews by early users.
Hardcore gamers are already getting excited about the fact that games such as Bizarre Creation's sublime Geometry Wars and Sega's Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition are already available to purchase for Apple's new portable computer.
Some commenters have pointed towards the fact that iPad apps seem to be noticeably more expensive on average than iPhone and iPod touch apps.
For example, Lonely Planet Publications' 1,000 Ultimate Experiences costs $19.99, MLB At Bat costs $14.99 and diagramming program OmniGraffle is priced at a whopping $49.99.
Men in queues
Apple also announced that the new iPad will work fine with most of the 150,000 apps in the App Store.
"If you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, just sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. They run in their original size or you can expand them to fill the iPad screen," Apple says on its website.
The iPad goes on sale tomorrow in the US. Expect pictures of men in queues outside Apple stores all over the internet shortly…

Q: posts array of all element names by class I have numerous elements on a page. I am using Jquery toggle to toggle a class.
I need to post a php array containing the names of all the elements that contained that class. (were toggled on).
My first thought was to simply create an form with display:none with a listbox. Everytime the element is toggled the name will be added to the listbox and then when the user clicks next all the values from the listbox are posted to the next page. I am hoping that there might be a cleaner and simpler solution than this.
So, to clarify, I am wanting to detect all the elements that I toggled on, and post those values to another page.
How would I achieve this?
Thanks

A: You can create an array of all the element names (is this the name attribute, or the id) with the .map() function:
var names = $(".targetClassName").map(function() {
    return this.name; //takes the `name` attribute, change to `id` for ID
}).get();

« The Golden Rock - December 12th, 2007 Edition
The Golden Rock - December 15th, 2007 Edition »
The Golden Rock - December 14th, 2007 Edition
- Time for the opening day numbers from Hong Kong. Yesterday, the first two big Christmas blockbusters - The Warlords and I Am Legend opened, and The Warlords wins the battle. Peter Chan's war epic was on 72 screens (out of over 200 screens in Hong Kong) and made HK$1.68 million. This is, according to Variety Asia, including the HK$250,000 it made from previews the previous night, which puts its official opening day gross at HK$1.43 million. It'll probably hit HK$10 million within the week. The question is only: which day?
This means its official opening day only barely beat out Will Smith-starrer I Am Legend, which made HK$1.36 million from 54 screens. This puts the two films' per-screen average at a head-to-head competition over the weekend, though Warlords will likely win in numbers simply because of the sheer size of the release.
Congratulations to Mad Detective for passing the HK$10 million mark on Thursday. Still on 32 screens (though at a reduced number of shows), the Johnnie To/Wai Ka-Fai crime drama made HK$195,000, and should slow down significantly this weekend thanks to the two big films. Oh, the Chipmunks movie opened with only HK$122,000 from 31 screens. Bummer.
- Variety Asia also reported that The Warlords opened pretty huge in other Asian territories, although I bet that it'll be a while before it recuperates the actors' salaries.
- Fairly big news out of Hong Kong (though it's one day behind): Stephen Fung is planning to direct a film version of the video game Stranglehold. However, he will first have to finish his Stephen Chow-produced dance film and A New Better Tomorrow with Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, AND the writers' strike in Hollywood has to end first so he can actually shoot it. Until then, he's already talked to Daniel Wu and Brandon "Superman" Routh about starring roles, and the story should be about Wu's Hong Kong cop teaming up with Routh's American cop.
Sorry, story is only free for Hong Kong IPs.
- Another possible Hong Kong-Hollywood crossover is also in the works, with Orlando Bloom reportedly visiting Hong Kong to meet with Johnnie To about a possible collaboration.
- Under "Japanese drama" news today, the hit Japanese drama Gokusen, starring Yukie Nakama, is seeing a third installment in the Spring. Perhaps not so coincidentally, this comes after her latest drama, Joshi Deka, is yet another flop for the advertisement queen. The hit series is about a high school teacher who's also the head of an organized crime clan. Natrually, it's a comedy.
Also, the Spring 2007 hit Japanese drama Proposal Daisakusen is getting a gratuitous 2-hour special after people called in saying they were confused about the ending. I think they just asked for a few minutes, not a damn 2-hour special.
- Under "more promising Japanese film news" today, Swing Girls director Shinobu Yaguchi is finally work on his follow-up film Happy Flight. Finally abandoning his "unlikely people doing unlikely things" formula, Yaguchi's film will entirely take place on one flight and centers around three characters. I'm there.
- Sorry for doing so much Japanese news, here's some stuff from China: Turns out China, over its negotiations with the United State government, really am banning American movies for 3 months over piracy and trade issues.

While I periodically go out of my photographic comfort zone, I usually do so in ways that aren't too different from what I'm used to. I will change cameras or lenses but I tend to avoid techniques which risk overwhelming the photography.
Granted, almost anything photographic can become an exercise in technique over content.* The dangerous ones though are those which are fairly easy to do yet have instantly-recognizable and eye-catching results. As a result, they tend to be used as photographic gimmicks rather than useful tools. It's hard enough to see differently; throw in a gimmick and it's even harder to avoid falling for the flickr wow factor.
*This will eventually be a post of its own.
One such gimmick is through-the-viewfinder photography.* I have a Kodak Duaflex II which accompanied another 620 spool purchase for my Brownie Hawkeye Flash. Because the Duaflex doesn't accommodate 120 as well as the Hawkeye does, I've ended up shooting through the viewing lens more than the taking lens. The results end up looking a lot like what Hipstamatic or Instagram do but add some distortion to the edge blurs/effects.
*Another, which I've posted about previously and which I have a better handle on in terms of how to use the gimmick rather than be used by it, is shooting with a flipped lens.
My results are not intended to show that I have avoided succumbing to the gimmick. These shots are still very heavily-dependent on the effect rather than what I'm doing with it. I'm just documenting the process of learning how to use a gimmick. Also, I really enjoy taking these.
First, the obligatory shadow self portrait. You can tell from my arms that I'm doing something more than just holding a single camera.

Q: Wildcard subdomain picks up www.domain.com as a sub domain Sorry if my question title may be misleading, it was hard to word it out. I just set up wildcard subdomains with apache and it works flawlessly however, when accessing my main domain with www I get a 404 because it's treating www as a subdomain.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wildcard.domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
VirtualDocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomains/%1"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory /var/www/html/>
        AllowOverride All
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This is in my apache configuration on my server. When I visit (any).domain.com it will show to contents of /var/www/subdomains/(any). Now that works however, when visiting www.domain.com it goes to 404 as (www) doesn't exist in /var/www/subdomains/. I want to ignore www in the urls.
To sum it all up

*

*domain.com leads to my root as intended

*www.domain.com leads to a 404 not found /
I would also like to redirect all subdomains that lead to 404s back to root.

A: Resolved by placing the wildcard virtual host as the last virtual host.
