Popularidad e irreverencia
Tras la cancelación de su programa Toma Libre, Facundo estuvo un tiempo fuera de los reflectores del espectáculo, pero al poco tiempo regresó con el programa Incógnito, el cual contó con mayor popularidad que su primer programa.

El programa televisivo Incógnito alcanzó mucha popularidad entre la gente debido a su humor tan irreverente. Era común encontrar a Facundo por la calle haciendo bromas y sketches en la zona de Coyoacán en la Ciudad de México. En la sección "cazafantasmas" de su programa Facundo se aventura a un cementerio, donde se encuentra una figura femenina postrada sobre una tumba a las 01:28 AM saliendo huyendo el y su equipo de producción: conocido popularmente como "Facundo y la niña del panteón",  es uno de los momentos más recordados del programa.

En este programa consiguieron un personaje sacado de las calles de México, un indigente apodado Changoleón, cuyo nombre es Samuel, a quien se le podía encontrar en el centro de Coyoacán alcoholizado y quien una vez que se presentó en televisión con Facundo, logró una gran popularidad entre la gente.

En 2006 su programa se quedó sin presupuesto y Facundo agradeció la ayuda del público para seguir transmitiendo.

Gracias a su popularidad y poder de convocatoria, llamó a una marcha de protesta en el 2007 en contra de la deportación de las bailarinas extranjeras de table dance que trabajan ilegalmente en la Ciudad de México, así como por los derechos de estas bailarinas, extranjeras y nacionales conocidas popularmente como teiboleras. Sin embargo a pesar del interés social por la marcha, las cosas salieron de control y los siete mil asistentes causaron disturbios en el centro de la Ciudad, lo que terminó con el arresto de Facundo Gómez. Las autoridades le prohibieron acudir a cualquier tipo de manifestación social por algunas semanas. Incognito salió del aire.

En el año 2009, se integra al elenco del nuevo programa dominical de Televisa: Hazme reír y serás millonario, junto a Mario Cuevas "La Garra" e Ileana, una desconocida en el mundo del espectáculo. Funge come eliminador en la competencia. Entró en el lugar de Carlos Espejel, cuando éste fue eliminado.

Secciones y personajes en el programa Incógnito
 «Mi papá es un duende»: Jaime Duende
 «Que alguien mate al abuelo»: Juan Samperio
 «Que lo hagan ellas»: él mismo
 «Untranseúnte»: él mismo
 «Industrias Incógnito»: él mismo

Asimismo condujo el programa Turnocturno, el cual tiene un formato similar a Incognito pero no cuenta con la irreverencia ni el índice de audiencia del programa que le dio fama. El día jueves 17 de septiembre del 2015 finalizó, después de 2 años de transmisión.

A distinguished roster of runners will attempt to land an elusive first-place finish for the United States at the 41st annual Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day.
On Tuesday, race organizers announced the lineups for the men's and women's teams for the International Team Challenge, which was last won by an American men's team in 2017 and hasn't been won on the women's side since 2006.
Leading the men's team will be Jared Ward, who was the top American finisher (eighth overall) at the New York Marathon in November and Tyler McCandless, who won the 2018 Bolder Boulder citizen's race last year and finished second in the marathon at the 2017 USA Marathon Championships.
The women's team will feature former Colorado Buffaloes star Shalaya Kipp along with Aliphine Tuliamuk, who finished second at last year's women's International Team Challenge. Tuliamuk finished 11 seconds behind Ethiopia's Mamita Daska, who won the elite 10-kilometer race for a record sixth time in 2018.
Rounding out the women's squad will be Lindsey Scherf, who finished sixth last year on a USA women's red team finished second behind Daska's Ethiopian team; Taylor Ward, who finished third at the FORTitude pro 10K in Fort Collins last year; 2017 women's citizen's race winner Lauren Martin Masterson; a Deanna Ardrey, Stephanie Bruce, Melissa Dock, and Kaitlin Goodmen.
The remainder of the men's team will be comprised of Parker Stinson, Haron Lagat, Reid Buchanan, Reed Fischer, Tim Rackers, Jake Riley, and Diego Estrada, who finished eighth last year and is the top returning American in the professional field.
The remainder of the international field will be announced at a later date.
"We're ready for a super competitive international event thanks to the athlete's continuing commitment to the race, " Bolder Boulder race director Cliff Bosley said in a statement. "Some of the top-ranked teams are trained in both altitude and marathon running and bring a competitive edge that keeps the event exhilarating to watch each and every year."

Dark Colors: Purple Sprinkles on a Vanilla Ice Cream Cone
Isaiah Warfield	Uncategorized	 September 14, 2018 September 15, 2018 8 Minutes
It was around 9:00 p.m. on a Friday, when Matt and Jake were at the park playing basketball. They had played a few one-on-one games together, and each time Matt won all of them. Jake joked that Matt won for obvious reasons, and Matt couldn't help but laugh at this. After they were done playing basketball, they sat down, talked and laughed with each other.
As they were walking away from the park, they noticed two figures in the dark were walking towards them. At first, Matt and Jake were hesitant to walk, until they realized that the figures were two girls. One was a blonde, and the other one was a brunette. When they walked past the girls, Matt made eye contact with the brunette. She smiled at him and continued walking the opposite direction. Even though it was dark outside, Matt could see there was a light inside her. There was something special and authentic about her. She was a true beauty. He could feel it, and he knew that he couldn't let her get away. So, he stopped walking, turned around and yelled, "Hey, what's your name?"
The brunette turned around, smiled and yelled that her name was Claire. Then, her friend introduced herself as well and yelled that her name was Sam. Jake pulled Matt to the side asked what he was doing. Matt whispered that he wanted to get to know Claire, and Jake understood. Matt wanted him to distract Sam, while he had a little alone time with Claire. Jake agreed to help Matt and be his wingman.
Matt and Jake walked towards the girls and talked a little bit with them. They found out that they went to the same school together. Eventually, Matt and Claire were able to walk together alone, while Jake was with Sam. There was an instant spark between Matt and Claire. They connected with each other in ways that couldn't be explained. Matt saw the light clearly that was inside of Claire, but he wondered what she saw. As Matt and Claire were walking, they found themselves in front of Sal's Ice Cream Shop. Matt explained that he loved the ice cream there and couldn't get enough of it. Claire informed Matt that she works at the ice cream shop. Matt was excited to hear this and joked that she could give him some free ice cream then. She laughed and said, "That's not how it works, Matt. You have to earn free ice cream."
Matt smiled at her and said, "Ok, I'll earn it. When's the next time you work there?"
She giggled and responded, "I work tomorrow from 3-9."
"Ok, I'll swing by tomorrow at around 8:30, then afterwards maybe we can hangout here in the park again. Just me and you," Matt said.
She got a little close to Matt, smiled and said that she would like that. Matt was happy to hear this.
When they made it back to their friends, Jake and Sam were ready to leave. Sam and Claire went away, and Claire waved goodbye to Matt.
The next day, Matt was constantly thinking about Claire and couldn't wait to see Claire at Sal's Ice Cream Shop, but he was nervous. Matt was always nervous and anxious about things. He texted Jake to see if he could come with him to the ice cream shop, and Jake was happy to be his wingman. Matt was relieved and thankful to have Jake as a friend. It was nice to have a friend, Matt thought.
Matt and Jake were in the park playing basketball, when Jake noticed that it was 8:25 p.m. Jake told Matt that it was time to go to Sal's Ice Cream Shop, but Matt was having second thoughts. Matt was scared of being around so many people, especially at night, but Jake assured him that everything would be fine. Jake had Matt's back. Matt reluctantly believes Jake, and they start walking to Sal's Ice Cream Shop.
When they arrive at Sal's Ice Cream Shop, it's extremely crowded. There are a lot of people around the shop, and they give Matt a weird look. A few older people murmur about Matt, but he tries to not think about them and is only focused on seeing Claire. Jake and Matt stand in line, and Matt is both nervous and excited to see Claire. As they got closer to the windows, Matt catches a glimpse of Claire. His heart skips a beat. Lights were shining on Claire, and he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she truly was. When Matt and Jake made it to the windows, Jake went to a window with one girl, while Matt went to Claire's window. Claire was excited when she saw Matt. She gave the most perfect smile to Matt. Claire and Matt shared a few giggles, until someone yelled at Matt to order something. They quickly stopped giggling, and Matt asks for a small, vanilla cone.
Claire then said, "Wait, don't get that. You should get a small, vanilla cone with purple sprinkles on it. People around here think that it's gross because of the way it looks, but it's actually the most amazing thing ever. You have to try it, please?"
Claire adorably begged Matt to try a small, vanilla cone with purple sprinkles on it, and Matt loved it. He couldn't help but smile at her. However, he didn't think that it sounded appealing. It didn't make sense to him.
So, he replied, "I'll just stick with a plain, vanilla cone, but I might try it some other time."
Claire does a cute frown, and Matt can't help but laugh at her. She smiled back at Matt and asked, "You promise you'll try it?"
Matt responded that he promised to eventually try the vanilla cone with purple sprinkles. Claire was happy to hear this and made him a vanilla ice cream cone. She handed it to him and said that she'll see him after work.
Matt replied, "Sounds good, I'll be waiting in the park for you."
Matt and Jake went to the park and hung out with each other. Matt told Jake everything that happened at Sal's, and Jake was proud of him.
When Matt saw Claire coming to the park, Matt immediately told Jake that he had to go. Jake said, "Oh, so I'm just a piece of meat that you can just toss around whenever you want?"
"Yeah, pretty much," replied Matt.
They laughed with each other, and Jake told Matt that he'll see him Monday at school. Then, Jake left the park.
A minute later, Claire reached Matt in the park, and they were alone together on a starry night.
On Monday, as Matt was at high school and sitting alone at lunch, he couldn't help but think about his time with Claire on Saturday. It was an authentic, wholesome time for him. That same day, Matt found out that Claire took the same bus as him. They sat together on the bus and talked and laughed with each other like they did on Saturday. He couldn't believe that he never noticed her on the bus. Truthfully, he never really noticed people on the bus because he had always kept his head down.
For a few weeks, Matt and Claire continued to build a strong connection with one another. Claire was someone that Matt could really talk to about anything, and he was always appreciative of that. However, he could never tell the truth about himself to her. Matt kept himself hidden from her like he did with others.
Matt often visited Sal's Ice Cream Shop to see Claire. Each time, she would plead for Matt to a vanilla ice cream cone with purple sprinkles. Each time, he would say he would try it some other time. He just wanted to make a safe choice when it came to his ice cream.
As things were progressing for Matt and Claire, Matt was nervous and bothered by it. He knew that if they were to be in a relationship, then she would find out the truth about him. Also, Matt didn't want her to be a part of his world. Matt's world was filled with hatred, loneliness, despair and self-pity. He didn't want his world to corrupt Claire, a sweet and innocent girl. Most importantly, he was worried about others. He worried that people would make their lives hell because of who he is, and Matt wanted to do what was best for Claire.
Matt didn't know what to do or how to go about pushing Claire out of his life. Matt didn't want to tell her the truth because it would expose him. Maybe she would've been accepting and understanding of who he was, but Matt didn't want to take that chance. There was only one option.
Matt ignored her. He stopped texting and calling her, avoided her at high school and didn't sit next to her on the bus. People at high school noticed that Matt was giving Claire the cold shoulder. One day, Claire decided that she wasn't going to take it. Matt was sitting at his usual spot on the bus, the back of it, and Claire sat next to him. Matt was silent. He just looked out the window and paid no attention to Claire. He could tell that Claire was hurt by this. Then, an unfortunate thing happened next. A girl on the bus turned to Claire and shouted, "Can't you see that he doesn't like you. You're embarrassing yourself."
Claire was close to crying, and Matt felt bad about it. He wanted to respond and tell people on the bus that he actually truly cared about Claire. However, he looked around the bus and saw who he was surrounded by. Also, he realized that his silence would be the end of them potentially being together. Matt thought to himself that Claire deserved to be with someone better than him. He wasn't worthy to defend Claire or be with her. It would be better to be safe than sorry.
So, Matt was silent and the people on the bus laughed at Claire. She was embarrassed and hurt that Matt wasn't there for her. When the bus stopped at her place, she ran off the bus, and Matt could see that she was crying. It devastated Matt that he broke an angel's heart.
A few years passed, and Matt is still devastated by the decisions that he made regarding Claire. He avoided Sal's Ice Cream Shop and the park as much as he could, so that he wouldn't see Claire. He often wishes that he could tell her the truth and explain himself, but he's too afraid to. Instead, he chooses to live with regret and shame in his heart, yet he longs for redemption.
Now, Matt goes to Sal's Ice Cream Shop and a little part of him hopes to see Claire behind the window. However, he knows that he'll never see her because she doesn't work there anymore. For Matt, it doesn't hurt to hope. Then, he always orders a vanilla ice cream cone with purple sprinkles. It's actually really amazing to him. Although he enjoys it, he is often sad because he waited so long to realize that purple sprinkles on a vanilla ice cream cone was an amazing thing in this world.

Using reverse geocoding, the address associated with the coordinates is guessed as No. 32, Aiguo East Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan 100. Depending on the GPS receiver and the reception conditions the accuracy may vary and the address should not be regarded as exact location.


To give the "Big Picture" and show the various Genesys components used for SCXML-based workflows, below is a high-level diagram of the Universal Routing 8.x architecture.
The SCXML-based strategy creation and processing steps above are keyed to the numbers below.
The developer specifies Configuration Server objects as routing targets prior to creating the routing application in Composer. For example, a routing target could be an agent (Person object) or Agent Group or an interaction can be sent to a queue. The developer may also create workflows that route based on the value of a Stat Server statistic or a statistic that you defined in Composer's Statistics Builder.
The developer (or other persona) creates and tests the routing application and manually deploys it on a web application server. Once this is done, the runtime life cycle of the routing logic can begin with a routing request.
URS gets an EventRouteRequest message from T-Server or another media server such as an eServices media server.
The request goes to the Routing Point. URS gets the URL of the application server to be contacted about SCXML strategy to be provided, which is a property of the Routing Point. After the URL is obtained, ORS issues the HTTP GET ( or POST) request to the application server.
The application server executes the request and returns the SCXML document back to ORS.
Upon getting the response, ORS passes the received SCXML document to the SCXML engine. The SCXML engine runs the SCXML application, invoking ORS/URS services as needed.
ORS or URS issues a RequestRouteCall message to the media server.
Once ORS/URS identifies a routing target, other servers are involved in the process of delivering the interaction to the agent desktop.
In the case of voice interactions, SIP Servers /T-Servers are involved.
In the case of PBX based architectures (not SIP servers), PBXes are involved (by the commands from T-Servers).

Discussion in 'Hadith' started by abu Hasan, Apr 4, 2019.
hypothetically, a woman (suppose slavery existed, a slavegirl: ) can give birth to the child of her master (sperm donor) and mistress (egg donor); in which case, she gives birth to her master or mistress.
Might be lost on me but how does this relate to the ĥadīth? Particularly how is it that the grandmother is a slave and the daughter/granddaughter (?) a mistress?

Сконе () е полуостров в крайната южна част на Скандинавския полуостров, част от територията на Швеция. На изток и юг бреговете му се мият от водите на Балтийско море, на запад от водите на протока Йоресун, а за северна граница условно се приема 56°с.ш. Има почти квадратна форма с дължина от запад на изток около 80 km и ширина от север на юг до 70 km. Бреговете му са предимно скалисти, сравнително ниски и слабо разчленени. Релефът му е равнинен, изграден предимно от моренни наслаги, залягащи върху варовици и други скали от горната креда. Отделни ниски ридове са съставени от гранити е гнайси и достигат до 226 m н.в. В голямата си част равнинните участъци са заети от обработваеми земи, а ниските ридове са покрити с дъбови и букови гори и мочурища. В западната му част на брега на протока Йоресун е разположен град Малмьо.

Най-старият човешки скелет, открит в Скандинавия, е женски скелет, открит в Бекаскуг в Сконе. Около 3000 г. пр.н.е. ловците и берачите на плодове започват да водят уседнал живот и преминават към селско стопанство. Край Алвастра, близо до Ветерн, са открити останки от малко селище на земеделци и пастири, съществувало около 3500 г. пр.н.е. – 2000 г. пр.н.е.

През средните векове полуостровът е принадлежал на Дания и благодарение на сравнително мекия климат и плодородните почви е бил най-развитата земеделска област на Скандинавия. Тук, в град Лунд, след създаването през 1104 г. на Лундското епископство се намирал църковно-административния център на Скандинавия. През средата на 14-ти век ролуостровът е обект на ожесточена борба между Дания, Швеция и ханзейския съюз. По Роскилския мирен договор от 1658 г. прекратил датско-шведската война от 1657-58 г., окончателно е присъединен към Швеция и опитите на Дания в т.н. Сконска война (1675-79 г.) завършили безрезултатно.

Florence is a decadent city rich with art, food and gold. Spending the day in Florence left us feeling like we were in the center of Italy surrounded by all things amazing. We were particularly excited to meet David, finally, and could not believe what an impression he made on us. Finally seeing a piece of artwork that you have read about in text books is an unreal feeling. Finally seeing David was completely overwhelming. His presence is something that can never be captured on the page of a book, easily making him the highlight of our day in Florence.
Below: Statues in Florence, Ponte Vecchio bridge, gelato, one of many Davids in Florence.
Many travel to Florence in hopes of finding gold. We think it's safe to say you'd have a hard time NOT finding any! There is gold galore, shops and markets around every corner. We hadn't come to Florence in search of its precious metal, so we spent the afternoon wandering the streets seeing what other treats Florence had in store for us. Delicious pasta, scrumptious gelato, stunning sculptures, vast churches and ritzy shopping, all right in the middle of town.
As our day went on we noticed a theme in Florence. Other than gold, gold, gold, we were surprised to find not one, not two, but three life-sized sculptures of David! He was starting to feel as abundant as the gold and the vespas. Okay, maybe not that abundant, but we were definitely surprised when we kept running into him!
As Ben navigated our coach down the narrow country roads we all had a feeling that there was something special in store for us, and we were right. Our agriturismo (working winery and hotel) was the perfect respite from our busy life on tour. The crystal blue swimming pool basking in the afternoon sun almost brought a tear to Nicole's eye. Hello relaxation, we've been waiting for you!
Both nights Tuscany we enjoyed dinner with the group at our hotel. It was our first authentic Italian feast. The freshness and quality were to die for and the food just kept coming and coming! And, as always, eating with the group was a blast. After dinner we unwound together with drinks at the bar and a song or two under the stars.


Who likes fumbling around with DVDs?
In this new age of digital content, it frustrates me to no end that when I'm looking for a good home workout (as I am wont to do), they are all delivered without fail on an outdated medium such as DVDs or Blu-Ray.
Q: It is starting to get cool around here, and I usually run outside. I wanted to know what I should do differently during the winter to prevent injury if I decide to continue to run outside.


Every kind of kipa (yarmulke) imaginable is available in this stall: crocheted, satiny, patterned, velvet and more in every color imaginable and representing dozens of sports teams. Kipa Man also sells religious objects and tourist trinkets.
For me the shuk is heaven on Earth.


Last week I got a call from the awesome Pia Waugh, tech advisor to Senator Kate Lundy, to give me a head's up about the Digital Culture Public Sphere consultation – an initiative being run in Australia by the Office of Senator Lundy in collaboration with the Office of Minister Simon Crean.
The Digital Culture Public Sphere consultation will "look specifically at the digital arts and industries as well as opportunities for cultural institutions around digitisation, public engagement and collaboration [and] will result in a submission that will be presented directly to [Minister Crean] as part of the broader National Cultural Policy consultation." The industries at the centre of the discussion are games development, film & animation, media & music, digital arts and GLAM institutions.
How do you imagine the sector could look in the future? How could Australia excel? What would a 10 year plan look like?
What are some tangible ways we could measure progress in this area?
Ideas to achieve the vision for Australia.
Any additional information you think might be useful, including case studies, success stories, research papers.
Leading case studies from the sector to help contextualise Australian innovation in this area.
It's really exciting to have a chance to think about these issues, and to work towards a broader vision for the country's digital culture future. I don't really know what I think a long term sustainable vision would look like yet, nor how we could measure success. But over the next couple of weeks on the blog, I might try to explore a few of these issues and come up with my personal vision (which I will then contribute to the discussion). I'd love your thoughts/feedback too – even from overseas readers. You can comment here on the blog, or touch base with me on Twitter.
On the 6 October 2011, the Public Sphere consultation is going to culminate in a Live Event which should facilitate discussion within and between the different sectors being targetted here. I would LOVE to be a part of the event in Sydney – but I think my local arts community might be better served by having its own roundtable to discuss the issues as they will be affected, and I might have to host that. One thing I've noticed about digital culture is that for all its possibilities, there are still a lot of people who haven't embraced it, and who still don't have a voice in these conversations. After all, if you don't tweet or blog, it's a lot harder to make noise and impact in a digital environment. And while their concerns will not always be my concerns, I do think it's important to make sure they are included in this discussion. After all, as I wrote a couple of weeks ago, it's important to talk to people who have different ideas and priorities from your own. If this Digital Culture Public Sphere is to be truly inclusive, we need to ensure diversity of input.


Easter is coming up quick! While Floridians don't really need to celebrate the end of another long, cold winter the way people up north do, this is a great time to gather with friends and family. Just be sure to keep your pet's health and safety in mind: this can be a dangerous time for pets. Here, a Valrico, FL vet lists some seasonal dangers for pet owners to be aware of.
Flowers are a big part of many spring decorations. If you set out a bouquet, place it in a spot your furry friend can't reach. Many Easter bouquets contain lilies, which are highly toxic to cats. Tulips, gladiolas, and several other popular flowers are also unsafe. If you aren't certain whether something is dangerous for your pet or not, check the ASPCA website here.
Chocolate bunnies and eggs make a great treat to put in a candy dish, but keep them away from pets. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats. Plus, many chocolate products contain xylitol and/or nuts, which are also unsafe. Hard candies and candy wrappers are also unsafe, as they can choke pets, and can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed.
Summer is technically a few months off, but Florida can still be sweltering hot at this time of year. Make sure your furry companion always has fresh water and shade. If you have a dog, limit Fido's outdoor time on hot days. Your canine buddy will be much more comfortable in cool, climate-controlled rooms! As for Fluffy, she's always safer indoors, where she's protected from traffic, weather, gators, and other dangers.
If you're hosting Easter dinner, be careful not to let your pet have any unsafe foods. Some things on the no-no list include garlic, onions, scallions, and chives; pitted fruits, especially avocados; grapes, currants, and raisins; meat on the bone; and raw dough, meat, or yeast. Ask your vet for more information.
Easter baskets often contain plastic grass, which is a choking hazard for playful pets. Keep decorations out of paws' reach!
Are you hosting an Easter egg hunt? If so, make sure no eggs are missed. They will quickly go bad. Unfortunately this won't necessarily stop pets—especially dogs—from eating them.
Please contact us, your local Valrico, FL pet clinic, if we can ever be of assistance. We're here to help!

Categories: Media Movies Quotable Viggo
Viggo is now deep into editing Falling. Finally he has complete control of the finished look and performances of a film he is in after years of submitting unfinished pictures, as he described the actor's lot in 2002. So I was thinking - which films and performances does Viggo like to watch? We know that going to the cinema as a young man nudged him towards acting because he wanted to discover just how cinema magic was woven. But it's not all Dreyer, Bergman and Pasolini...
I went to see films with my mother when I was a child. Towards twenty, I lived for a year close to London, and I went to a cinema which only showed classics. I discovered Bergman, Ozu, Pasolini, Dreyer ... It was a revelation.'
Viggo Mortensen: The Soul of a Warrior
By Juliette Michaud
Studio Magazine
"I started thinking about acting about a year before I actually tried it," he says. "I just started watching movies in a different way, not just as entertainment. I started to really think about the ones that got to me, the ones that transported me so that, when I walked out of the theater, I'd be surprised. I'm really not in the desert? Or the 18th century? And I started to wonder what's the trick, how does a movie do that to you, technically? I wanted to try and figure that out."
Viggo Mortensen on 'Two Faces of January,' LOTR and what his movies teach him
By Stephen Whitty
'I discovered [The Passion of Joan of Arc] when I was 20. I didn't know very much about movies, I wasn't even an actor: I wasn't yet measuring all of Dreyer's esthetic innovation and radicalism, but it still had a crazy effect on me. The story, the way it's told, but especially her, Falconetti: her modern way of acting, her immediacy. Whatever moment you're watching the film, she's there.'
Viggo talking about Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc
"It's women who made me want to be an actor."
By Clélia Cohen - translated by Donna Marie
He opens a large cardboard box at his feet. There are about a dozen books... all are published by Perceval, a small press he runs with a partner. Then he pulls out a DVD of The Passion of Joan of Arc, a 1928 silent movie. He informs me that the original negative was destroyed in a fire, and that the filmmaker died believing his masterwork had been obliterated. But a complete version was found in a closet in a Norwegian mental institution in the early 1980s and was restored.
"You published this too?" I ask.
"Nah," he says. "You should just see it."
Finding Viggo
By Alex Kuczynski
"The real trigger for me was the film that everyone was talking about when I was twenty: The Deer Hunter, particularly Meryl Streep. What an inspiration! All the actors in that movie are amazing, no doubt; but there's something about Meryl Streep in that movie that makes me identify with her. I don't know why, something mysterious that you can't put your finger on, but which haunts you deeply, and for a long time..."
'Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, Jessica Lange in Frances, Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Bergman in Autumn Sonata, Anna Magnani... All of these roles have something indiscreet, indecent. You don't necessarily need to go through a series of tearful or hysterical scenes, it can be very sober and minimal, but this impression of seeing "inside" the person remains. This exposing of emotions touched me and inspired me very much.'
"When I saw Death in Venice, by Visconti, I had a big shock. It is one of the movies that has really inspired me. I saw it again recently, it's a little dated, especially the flashbacks, but still ... That mixture of beauty and sadness ... And also the performance of Dirk Bogarde is so extraordinary! Its impact on me has been enormous."
It should come as no surprise to learn that Mortensen is an admirer of Greta Garbo, the "I vant to be alone" diva, and also John "The Duke" Wayne, star of Howard Hawks' Red River, a classic western and one of Mortensen's favourites.
"I just think John Wayne was wonderful, and I'm not looking at him as just this icon," said the chisel-jawed actor, a study in seriousness behind innocent blue eyes.
A New John Wayne: Viggo Mortensen Saddles Up for Hidalgo
By Peter Howell
"I like Missouri Breaks. And Red River, a case, as in this movie, where most of the main actors are not known as "western" actors. Montgomery Clift had basically never done a movie, much less a western, and he's an urban easterner. He comes out stepping smack in the middle of John Wayne's turf, and working for Howard Hawks, he must have been a little nervous, I'm sure. But he did a great job. I think he pushed Wayne into giving my favorite Wayne performance."
An Actor Lured By Western Promise
By Ty Burr
'I think I insulted [Warren Robertson] one time, unintentionally, but he knew what I meant. The teacher had talked about a certain movie, I think it was a movie with Montgomery Clift... I can't remember. But anyway, I went to see it, and I remember saying, you know, "I learned as much from that movie as probably a month of going to class..."'
Viggo talking about his time at the Warren Robertson Theatre Workshop
Viggo's Box
By Craig Clevenger
Fond Affexxions #5
Winter Thaw 1995
'I'd call my mom, and she'd say, "How are you doing?" "Oh, fine." "What have you guys been doing?" "Well, Henry and I watched all three Godfather films. He didn't care for the third one, but he liked the first two." And she'd say, "Isn't he a little young for that?" "No, he can handle it.'
Viggo Mortensen: Grilled
By Steve Pond
"I am an old romantic, and I love costume movies. Elizabeth is my favourite."
A Latin Man Comes From The North
By Riccardo Romani - translated by Cindalea
GQ (Italy)
Are there special actors or movies that influenced you as a lad/young man?
(to do interview via email is a classic horror scenario because of the often very short answers, for example to a question like this. But Viggo Mortensen begins his answer with "Among others" and then mentions 88 movies and 63 actors. Very kindly he points out that nothing must be edited away. All mentioned, nobody forgot. )
Euroman Interview
He tries... never to watch the same film twice. "You can spend your whole life looking at movies made outside the United States [alone] and never see them all," he marvels. There is at least one exception to this rule, however: Adam Sandler's 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore, which he will watch any day, any time. The very mention of it makes him launch into his own Sandler imitation, which isn't half bad. "It's just one of those charmed movies," he says.

Watching Green Book last night, now the Blu-ray has finally been released in the UK (yay!), I found myself wondering at some point what my favourite review quote was. There is always one that lodges itself permanently in my memory for every film because I read through them so often. They are usually full of stonking great praise for Viggo's acting, but they really stick in my mind because are clever, quirky and sometimes downright funny. Though Mark Kermode's makes the list just because it is probably the best thing anyone said about Viggo ever. I know you will enjoy reading them again and maybe some of them are your favourites too?
Mortensen, plump as a mortadella, doesn't so much transcend the ethnic clichés of the role as chew through them, emerging into a zone of vaudevillian poetry.
By A O Scott
He looks like the kind of guy who, yes, would worship Noam Chomsky, but he also looks like the kind of guy who would eat him for breakfast. It's the ruggedly paradoxical, gentle-but-brute presence of Viggo Mortensen, more than anything else, that makes "Captain Fantastic" a twisting Rubik's Cube of blue and red.
"Jauja" is also thrillingly beautiful, and graced with Mortensen, who seizes the imagination even when he's sniffing horse manure.

Viggo Mortensen surely wasn't just cast because he's a great actor; it's because no one can rock a 1960s cream linen suit quite like him.

If you, for some reason, want to watch Viggo Mortensen watching Viggo Mortensen take a bath, then, my friend, your luck is in – as the renowned star of The Lord of the Rings franchise turns in one of the finest performances of his career, taking on the role(s) of identical twins in Ana Piterbarg's intense, if somewhat unfulfilling drama Everybody Has a Plan.

There's a new Viggo Mortensen movie out and all is right with the world. It's called Good and, as usual, he gives a mesmerising performance.
Jeffrey Lyons
Mortensen, with his slicked back pile of steely dark grey hair making his violin-like face look even longer, provides an unassailable core of authenticity and empathy throughout this often ludicrous film. He's a master of minimalism – what most actors need a monologue to express, Mortensen can convey in one wordless close-up, from behind sunglasses. But a long, naked fight sequence? You've got to admire his balls. And now you can.
Alatriste
Just seeing him stand there, his face half-obscured by a tattered black hat, his sculpted frame offset by a long cloak worn over the shoulders — it's no wonder Maria looks as though she's ready for cardiac arrest every time he appears.

Fantastic performance from Viggo Mortensen.....he is absolutely a brilliant actor, he is the Robert de Niro of his generation, the Marlon Brando of his generation, the man is a genius.
Mark Kermode

It takes a thoroughbred star like Mortensen to make the bond between man and horses believable, and to keep Hidalgo from straying too far into fields of corn.
From hobbits to horses

This is Return of the King though, and Viggo is that king… Viggo is noble, Viggo is powerful, Viggo is resplendent. He's a young Sean Connery but with a grittier style. More than anyone else, this is Aragorn's film.

This week I'm looking back at a film which, alas, I still haven't seen because there is no version with English subtitles for Region 2 (and why not?) Loin Des Hommes. This is a film which Viggo was very eager to make. It's also one for which he requested a long preparation time, so determined was he to deliver convincing French and Arabic. Arabic, of course, was a new language for Viggo and he worked hard to create the correct regional dialect. Although fluent in French he then had to take the Québécois edge off it. Unsurprisingly it was David Oelhoffen who came up with one of my favourite quotes about Viggo: ...it's difficult for things to go wrong when you work with Viggo Mortensen.'

[Darus] lived with the ugly side of people and has decided to distance himself from everything - violence, corruption, conflict, the evil side of things.

TIFF Q&A transcribed by Topaz
Nobody moseys like Viggo Mortensen. In The Road, Appaloosa, Jauja, and the new French Western Far From Men, the erstwhile Aragorn masters the tricky art of being a figure in the landscape. When it comes to traipsing either purposefully or desperately across the widescreen frame, he's several lengths ahead of the competition...
Adam Nayman
Viggo Mortensen is terrific as Daru. He shows the conflicts of a principled man living in an unprincipled time, almost exclusively through minor shifts of his face and eyes. Few actors can say as much as he can by saying little.
Dana Lemaste
Thinking Cinema
Mortensen has a heroic presence but he is also unafraid of conveying an almost feline grace. There are moments in this film when he reminded me of the young Gary Cooper, and of Steve McQueen, two other actors who convincingly integrated sensuality and masculinity. These are qualities he shares with Kateb, and when they are together on screen their interaction is absolutely riveting.
Christos Tsiolkas
It's the kind of story that you can transpose to many places in the world right now," says Mortensen. "These two people seem so different and so unlikely to be able to carry on a conversation, much less become friends, but it is possible, only it takes a certain amount of patience and a degree of forgetting oneself, and to really, really listen to someone else."

Viggo Mortensen talks directing debut 'Falling'; first look at family drama (exclusive)

This week, Viggo Mortensen is heading to London to begin the editing process on Falling, his directorial debut. The film, in which Mortensen stars with Lance Henriksen and Laura Linney (see an exclusive first look above), is about a conservative father who moves from his rural farm to live with his gay son's family in Los Angeles. The project is a very personal story, as Mortensen reveals in a catch-up with Screen.
"Both of my parents were ill. When my mother passed away, I was flying across the Atlantic after the funeral and I couldn't sleep, I was remembering things she had said that I hadn't thought of for years. The more I thought about my mother, the more I also thought about my dad, it became a back and forth between two characters and it became fictional, it wasn't them anymore," recalls Mortensen.
"That became the launching pad for a short story. I realised it was very visual, and if it was visual, it was a screenplay. I wrote it in two weeks and that was basically the screenplay we used. The route of it is my mother, and it becomes more about my father as it goes along. My father also passed away, two years after my mother," he adds.
Alongside his acting work, Mortensen has produced before, including on Ana Piterbarg's 2012 drama Everybody Has A Plan and Lisandro Alonso's western Jauja (he also produces Falling, with Daniel Bekerman and Chris Curling). Stepping into the director chair wasn't daunting, he says, because he could draw on watching "some very good ones [directors]" such as Peter Weir, Jane Campion and David Cronenberg.
Falling shot for 25 days in Canada and four days in California in March and April this year on a "very tight budget". Mortensen explains that everyone on the shoot "worked for the minimum [pay]", and that the money he made from the project has been reinvested into the production. "Unless this movie does unusually well someday, I won't make any money from it," he adds.
Mortensen would have preferred not to be in the film at all, he reveals, but having his name on the cast sheet was the only way to make it financially viable. "I would've preferred not to be in the movie, I have to say that, but to get it made one of the conditions was I had to act in it. I've been around for a long time as an actor, but if you haven't directed a movie you haven't directed a movie – I'm unproven and I'm lucky to get a chance," he says, adding that if he gets the opportunity to direct again, and he has to be in it for financial reasons, he'd rather "just do a scene or two".
London-based HanWay Films is overseeing international rights on the project and sealed a significant amount of territory deals during this year's European Film Market in Berlin, as Screen revealed. "It was more than we expected," admits Mortensen. UTA Independent Film Group is handling the US sale.
Mortensen hit the headlines earlier this month when he responded critically to the usage of an image of Aragon, the character he played in The Lord Of The Rings franchise, by Spanish far-right party Vox in a promotional tweet. The actor denounced the usage, calling it "ignorant" and "absurd".
Reflecting on that exchange, Mortensen says he "could have let it go" to avoid drawing publicity to Vox, but "sometimes it feels like you should call it out".
"These are the kinds of parties and movements that people like Steve Bannon are behind, it's a similar line of thinking, the rise of the irresponsible right. Vox are homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, anti-feminist, they essentially want to re-vindicate the Franco dictatorship. It's a dangerous thing," the actor explains.

Captain Fantastic is being broadcast on BBC 2 in the UK tomorrow night and although I have it on Blu-ray, I won't be able to resist watching. Which is just the excuse I need for some my favourite Fantastic quotes!
The clan's father isn't a superhero, but because he's played by Viggo Mortensen he's the next best thing.
'Viggo demonstrates the aspirations of the movie, what kind of movie are you hoping to make, and for me, I can have no better faith than in Viggo Mortensen.'

Viggo Mortensen To Star In Electric City's Captain Fantastic'
By Mike Fleming Jnr
Viggo Mortensen gets the role he may well have been born to play, not as a superhero, but as a super-dad determined to raise his kids on his own terms.... The inspired choice of casting Mortensen, a natural Papa Bear, who taps into both his physical strength and spiritual gentleness.
Peter Debruge
Mortensen, looking his most mountain-man handsome, is winning and charismatic, walking on the knife's edge between principled and unhinged.
Brian Moylan
The director sent Mortensen a huge box of books of recommended reading, including texts by Tom Brown, the renowned naturalist and author of Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival; linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky; and Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist and writer Jared Diamond, all of which he felt Ben would be intimately familiar with. "I thought that was a great way to frame some of the knowledge that this family would have, Ross says. "It turned out Viggo had read all the books already."

"...we had this two-day, one-night wilderness survival camp, with just the six of us kids and a guide, she said. "We each were given a knife and had to figure out how to survive. We had to track down our food, purify water, build a shelter. I love being outdoors, but this was pretty extreme."
"We were building fires because in the forest it was so incredibly dark, Isler said. "All of a sudden, we heard these sounds and saw this shape coming toward us through the forest. It was Viggo, who said he wanted to bring us beef jerky and dried cherries. And we were all like, How in the world did you find us?' "

Ernesto Velasquez Perez, 76, of Daguao, Naguabo in Puerto Rico recently told a Red Cross Reunification Team how hard his life has been since the hurricanes hit the island. He has 11 children living on the mainland urging him to leave his island home.
The Red Cross team provided Ernesto Velasquez Perez with a hand crank charger to keep his cell phone active. He is also having trouble securing his medications, and Red Cross nurses will visit to help him.
A Red Cross volunteer takes Mr. Perez's picture in which he is holding a message for his daughter on the mainland, letting her know he survived the hurricanes.
The elderly man's home has suffered a lot of damage, many rooms uninhabitable, forcing him to sleep in a hammock because of a leaking roof. The Red Cross forwarded his case to a group of Southern Baptist volunteers who are repairing roofs in the area.
Ernesto Velasquez Perez, 76, of Daguao, Naguabo, is like many elderly people in Puerto Rico, being urged by children in the United States to leave the island territory and come to the mainland.
"I hope help comes because I don't want to go. I want to die here in Puerto Rico," reflects Perez to the Red Cross workers standing on his porch. Ernesto believes if he leaves the island, he will never return. "What choice do I have? You just have to move forward as best you can," he said.
Nearly one in five of the island's residents are over 65. With age comes medical problems and mobility challenges. When Hurricanes Irma and Maria leveled a one-two punch on Puerto Rico, the effects of limited water, power, medical access, isolation and other scarcities have hit the older population hardest.
"I have not spoken with my daughter in Florida since before the storm," Perez admitted in response to the Red Cross worker's questions. His cell phone has not worked since Hurricane Maria got it wet. Without any cell service in the area, he wouldn't be able to call her anyway. The Red Cross workers got a charging brick from the car and plugged in his phone. Within a minute, it lit up.
A Red Cross volunteer gave him a hand crank charger and trained him to use it. "It's the same as grinding coffee back in the day," joked 62 year-old Angel Ramos, a Puerto Rico Red Cross volunteer and veteran of the wars in Viet Nam and Iraq. "The exercise will do you good and lift your spirits," Angel told him, adding the charging brick can take the phone to a full charge in about half an hour.
The team visiting Ernesto is a Red Cross reunification team. Red Cross reunification teams have been combing the island looking for the family members of nearly 1,500 people who called the Red Cross to say they couldn't get in touch with their loved ones. Many of these so-called "Emergency Welfare Inquiries" came from adult children in the mainland US unable to reach their elderly parents.
Knowing how important that personal connection is, the team offered to send Ernesto's daughter in Florida a photo of him holding a message for her. They gave him a pen and a whiteboard and he asked one of the volunteers to write for him.
The elderly man dictated, "Dear Yamilka, I am alive," and broke down in tears. The Red Cross volunteer then wrote down the rest of the message and took a picture of Perez holding it to send to his daughter.
The Red Cross team recognized the signs of prolonged stress in the man and encouraged him to tell them more about his experience during the storm and about his life.
Ernesto lives over an open garage that served as his workshop when he worked as a car painter and welder. Before that, he was a fisherman. The stairs leading up to his living area are steep and he complains about his "bad legs." Salvaged wood from the top story of his home is piled on the porch and a ladder leans against the roof. Without the second story, rainwater is seeping into every room in the house. Three rooms and the bathroom are completely uninhabitable, with mold on the ceilings, furniture, and standing water on the floors.
"As a child, I slept in a hammock," he said, entering the living room, "and now I'm sleeping in a hammock again." Buckets, open coolers and pots scattered on the floor catch water that drips from the ceiling when it rains. "I have to keep moving the hammock when it rains because the leaks are chasing me." Water drips on his stove too, but at least it's a propane stove so he can cook in spite of being without electricity. His church has brought water and food.
Perez told the Red Cross team that the pharmacy will only give him a three-day supply of his cardiac medicine because of shortages. The pill bottle sits on the table empty. He is re-using insulin syringes, although he was able to get a full bottle of insulin. The team assured Ernesto that they will send some Red Cross nurses to check on him.
Ernesto has a tarp, but cannot climb the ladder to the roof to place it. However, debris needs to be cleared first. The Red Cross team referred his case to the Southern Baptist roofers that are working in Naguabo, hoping that our trusted partners in disaster response can help Ernesto remain in his home as he wishes.
Ernesto's story is just one example of how hard life remains for many people in Puerto Rico. The Red Cross is on the ground responding to this devastating storm and needs financial donations to be able to provide immediate disaster relief for those affected. Help people affected by Hurricane Maria by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word MARIA to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from this disaster.


The percentage of persons who reported getting the recommended amount of physical activity was higher as income and education increased.

Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke Stands Up for NFL Players Who Take a Knee During National Anthem
"I don't think it's disrespectful."
By Eileen Reslen
Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic nominee running in the 2018 Texas Senate race against Republican Ted Cruz, has taken a stance in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
At a town hall meeting in Houston last week, O'Rourke was asked by an attendee whether he thought NFL players who take a knee during the national anthem are disrespecting the U.S. military and American people.
"My short answer is no, I don't think it's disrespectful," O'Rourke responded. He then clarified that it is important to note that, although Americans may have different opinions on this subject, it "makes them no less American to come down on a different conclusion on this issue."
The 45-year-old Congressman then further explained his response by referencing the facts, in particular Taylor Branch's Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, a three-volume history of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
"When you read that book and find out what Dr. King, and this non-violent, peaceful movement to secure better- 'cause they didn't get full - civil rights for their fellow Americans, the challenges that they face...," he began, then listing different black men and women from the Civil Rights movement who suffered physical abuse, and were sometimes even killed, for peacefully defending their rights.
"The freedoms that we have were purchased not just by those in uniform—and they definitely were—but also by those who took their lives into their hands riding those Greyhound buses, the Freedom Riders in the deep South in the 1960s who knew full well that they would be arrested, and they were, serving time in the Mississippi State Penitentiary," he added.
In conclusion, O'Rourke reminded the audience why NFL games, which garner millions of views a week from the American people, are the perfect platform for players with a voice to protest the killing of unarmed black men, women and children in America.
"Non-violently, peacefully, while the eyes of this country are watching these games, they take a knee to bring our attention and focus to this problem to ensure that we fix it," O'Rourke said.
According to Caller Times, Cruz said in response to O'Rourke's statements, "When Beto O'Rourke says he can't think of anything more American (than players taking a knee), well I got to tell you, I can."
Watch O'Rourke's speech in full via NowThis here:
A man says he's frustrated with NFL players who take a knee, and asks @BetoORourke if he agrees that taking a knee is offensive?
Hero's short answer is no—but his long answer is one I can't imagine any American red or blue can disagree with. Wow.pic.twitter.com/71oGUy7gMf

Gujarat is the land of colours, riches, culture and food. Gujarati people are warm and hospitable, and this hospitality is evident in their wedding functions also. The festive nature of the Gujarati people reflects in their wedding rituals and practices as their weddings are filled with fun and joy.
Here are the important pre- and post-wedding rituals of a Gujarati wedding.
This is the foremost Gujarati marriage function, which is all about the acceptance of the marriage. Chandlo is basically a red-coloured circle made in the centre of the groom's forehead. The bride's father along with four other male members from the bride's side visit the to-be groom's home to apply it. Along with this, shagun is also given as a token of love, and the marriage date is also fixed on the same day.
The engagement ceremony in a Gujarati wedding is known as gol dhana, which means coriander seeds and jaggery. So basically, on the engagement ceremony, both these things are distributed amongst the guests. The bride-to-be and her family pay a visit to the groom-to-be's house with sweets and a few gifts. The rings are exchanged in the presence of their respective families, and the couple seeks the blessings from five married women from each side of the family.
Two days prior to the wedding, the mehendi function is done by the bride's family. Just like any other Indian wedding, beautiful designs are applied on the bride's hands with henna. Other female members of the family also apply mehendi on their hands.
A song and dance ceremony in Gujaratis is known as sangeet sandhya or sanji. It takes place after the mehendi ceremony and before the wedding day. This is one such function where both the families get a chance to know each other even more. Traditional Gujarati wedding songs are sung, and guests enjoy tapping their feet on garba and dandiya.
The mangal mahurat ceremony is held at both the bride and the groom's houses. The bride and the groom along with their respective families offer their prayers to Lord Ganesha to seek his blessings, and pray to him to remove all the obstacles coming in their way.
The griha shanti pooja is also performed at both the houses. As the name itself suggests, it is done for acquiring peace and calm in the houses.
Pithi is the Gujarati name for the haldi ceremony. On this ceremony, the bride sits on a stool, and the ladies of her family apply a paste of sandalwood, turmeric, rosewater and perfume on her body.
This ceremony takes place a day before the wedding day. The bride's mama (her mother's brother) visits her house and gifts her sarees, bangles, and jewellery along with many other things.
The jaan, held on the wedding day, is a very entertaining, sweet and funny ritual. After arriving at the marriage venue, the groom touches his soon to be mother-in-law's feet for her blessings, and she tries to grab his nose while he tries to avoid her clutch. This playful ritual is to remind the groom that she is giving her precious daughter to him, so he should be humble and grateful.
In a Gujarati wedding, the groom's sister waives coins wrapped in a cloth over his head before he sets out of his house. This is a way to ward off the "evil eye" around her brother. The groom usually leaves for his baraat on a horse.
This is the first ritual in the actual wedding ceremony. Here the wedding couple exchanges garlands made of fresh flowers.
This is one such ceremony where there is a curtain between the bride and groom. In this Gujarati wedding ritual, the bride is escorted to the mandap by her maternal uncle. There is a cloth curtain between the bride and the groom. During the course of this ritual, the curtain is lowered.
Kanyadaan is the moment when the bride's father gives his daughter's hand in the hands of the groom. After this, the bride's saree is tied to the groom's shawl in a ritual known as the hasta milap. After that, a cord is tied around the couple's necks by the elders in the family to ward off evil, which is known as varmala.
In this ritual a member of the bride's family washes the groom's feet, while he is offered a drink of milk and honey.
This is the most exciting and very entertaining ritual of most Indian weddings. In Gujarati weddings, when the madhuparka is going on, the sisters of the bride try to hide the groom's footwear and agree to return them only in exchange for money.
Unlike most Hindu weddings, Gujarati weddings have 4 pheras rather than 7. The priest chants the mantras, while the couple takes rounds around the sacred fire. They take seven steps together that are known as the saptapadi. The married couple then seeks the blessings of all their elders.
This is another one of the funny rituals of a Gujarati wedding. Here the groom catches hold of his mother-in-law's saree and asks for more gifts. Her saree is then filled with gifts and cash by those present, and later given to the groom and his family.
In the vidaai ceremony, the bride says her goodbyes to her family. She takes rice in her hands and throws it back without looking and her mother is supposed to catch this rice in her pallu.
In this ceremony, the bride enters the groom's house by gently kicking a small handi of rice with her right foot.
This ceremony is the most fun ceremony after the hectic wedding schedule. A bowl is filled with milk and a ring is dropped in it. Both the bride and the groom then have to find the ring, and whoever wins, gets a reward.
After all the wedding rituals are over, the groom's family may or may not plan a wedding reception. The guests at the reception party include mostly the near and dear ones of the groom's family.
So, these are the fun-filled and exciting rituals that a Gujarati wedding consists of. In case you think we have missed some ceremony, do let us know in the comments section below!

Q: Symfony: FOS user Bundle promote user via controller I am new to FOS user bundle.
I have user and want to create a function to promote them (which will do the same than:
php app/console fos:user:promote testuser ROLE_MANAGER

my security.yml is:
role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_MANAGER:       ROLE_USER
    ROLE_ADMIN:         [ROLE_USER, ROLE_MANAGER, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]

Any idea how to do that from a controller?
I created a UserBundle with a UserController.php to extend FOS user and create a profile.

A: Found the solution:
public function promoteUserAction(){

    $user = $this->getUser();

    $userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager');
    $user->addRole('ROLE_ADMIN');
    $userManager->updateUser($user);

    return $this->render('ACMEBundle:User:page.html.twig');
}

Hope it will be useful for others.
cheers

A: Also, if you happen to only know the FOS username and you want to promote the user being logged in as a different user (the accepted answer promotes the logged in user), you can use this sample code:
$userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$user = $userManager->findUserBy(array('username' => 'gauss'));
$user->addRole('ROLE_ADMIN');
$userManager->updateUser($user);

In this case, I'm searching for the FOS username of 'gauss' and promoting use gauss to ROLE_ADMIN. You can then run a sql command of select id,username,roles from fos_user; on your database to verify the role has been added.
Hopefully this helps someone.
