Jonathan Safran Foer: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Jonathan Safran Foer: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close What did the various photographs in the book mean? In Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer's nine-year-old protagonist Oskar Schells father is killed on 9/11. The book uses the concept of visual writing, using images, typesetting, even empty pages to give it a graphic dimension way beyond that of traditional prose narrative. In normal fictional works, only written words will provide the narrative and movement to a work with only minimal illustrations. However, in this book images are 'scattered' throughout and it provides the plot and crux of the story.
Images are utilized as a literary technique, connecting to perspectives, emotions, themes and ideas portrayed on earlier pages. 2. Pictures of doorknobs: Is there a pattern? On a basic level a doorknob on a door signifies opportunity, so that opening that door will lead to life full of opportunities to tap. Here the symbolism may be tied to the mysterious key Oskar has. A series of phone messages from Oskar's father on that fateful morning on 9/11 is the thread that weaves the novel together temporally.
Foer not only spaces out the disclosures of the calls, but also reflects this unveiling in his positioning of visuals, postponing both the reader's epiphany as well as gratification. The first image – a door, a glass doorknob and a lock below it – is a close up so extreme that it could be seen as a graphic pun of the title. Foer appears to be implying that certain patterns make sense only when viewed repeatedly over time. 3. The falling man in the book?
The flip-book at the end? One disquieting, but eventually insightful method Foer uses is to fracture the limits of the frame. He embeds visual devices in the text inventively, recreates an essentially cinematic or 'moving' experience that imitates movement with the backward flip book. There are several time-lapse images of a 'jumper' leaping to his death on 9/11. Oskar believes the 'falling man' may have been his father, who might have jumped from North Tower of the World Trade Center towers. The final fifteen pages of the novel consist of a collection of images of the falling man backwards.
In Oskar words, "... I found the pictures of the falling body. I ripped the pages out of the book. I reversed the order… When I flipped through them, it looked like the man was floating up through the sky. " (Foer 325). As the final pages give a flip book kind of feel in the backward direction, the man appears to float in the sky, without failing. This provides a symbolic meaning related to Oskar father's death. That is, the man, as he moves backwards through the air is symbolic of Oskar's father – back to the world in its pre-9/11 order - this is obviously Oskar's understandable desire – but an impossible one. 4.
The writing samples from the pen store? While out looking for clues to the origin of the key, Oskar comes across a test pad in an art supplies store. A few of the sheets have 'Thomas Schell' written on them, the family name of Oskar's family and thus it also implies the name of both Oskar's father and grandfather. This scribbling of that particular name pushes Oskar to interpret that both his father and grandfather or either of them could have there before in their times.
The pad's sheets covered with scribbles in different handwriting and bright inks are interspersed in the pages of the novel. Foer uses this device to force us to stop and back away from the prose for a while and later reenter the text with heightened awareness and altered perspective. 5. The cover illustration of the book of the hand with writing on it? In a fundamental way the hand signifies karma and the fate that is ostensibly written on it.
That is, people always believe that one writes his/hers own fate with hands only. In addition, palmistry also focuses on how certain lines in the hand can decide the fate of the individuals. Thus, the cover illustration shows how hand and people's lives or fate are correlated. Oskar's grandfather, who loses his ability to speak after losing loved ones during WW2, also put forward this significance and correlation. In his words, "I went to a tattoo parlor and had YES written onto the palm of my left hand, and NO onto my right palm… I signify "book" by peeling open my hands, every book, for me, is the balance of YES and NO…" (Foer 17).
So, at a deeper level, the cover art of this novel is a reference to the act of writing about life by both Foer as well as his characters. Works Cited Foer, Jonathan Safran. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. New York. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. 2006.

Rafa: Go out and buy Fields of Anfield Road
The new 'Fields of Anfield Road' single, produced to help raise awareness of the Hillsborough disaster, is now available to buy or download.
The 'Fields of Anfield Road' is sung regularly by the Kop, and is based on 'Fields of Athenry'. A number of local musicians and former players are amongst those who have recorded this new version, which features an extra verse poignantly remembering the ninety-six supporters who died almost twenty years ago.
The club are fully behind the single, and manager Rafa Benítez has asked that all Liverpool fans buy a copy. He said: "I was lucky enough to be at the launch of the single and I think it is fantastic. My message to our fans is to go out and buy it because it's for a very, very good cause."
The fight for justice for the 96 continues, and although it's a fight that should have been won a long time ago it's a fight that won't end. As Rafa says, "We must never forget the Liverpool fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough."
If you prefer old-fashioned physical copies of your music to just a downloaded mp3 version, you can buy the single online or in person from the club shop or from HMV. It's actually only as old-fashioned as a CD, not vinyl, but features four tracks in that format.
There's the "A" side, 'Fields of Anfield Road', by the Liverpool Collective featuring The Kop Choir. The owner of the copyright to the original version of the song, Peter St.John, has agreed to not receive a penny from this single. There's also a second version of the song, entitled 'Fields of Anfield Road (Sunday morning version)', performed by Starsailor's James Walsh.
Wah!'s Pete Wylie has also donated a recording of 'Heart as Big as Liverpool' as one of the four tracks on the CD, with the other track coming from Elvis Costello, who has supplied a special version of his 'Turning the Town Red' track.
That Costello track was the theme tune to the excellent Channel 4 series 'Scully' which was screened in the mid-eighties, well before the awful events of Hillsborough, featuring cameo appearances from a number of Liverpool players.
Please do as Rafa says – buy the single – and see if you can not only help it get in the charts but to give the subject of Hillsborough the chance of some extra airtime and perhaps the ability to reach an audience that are unaware of what happened, or why it happened, in Sheffield on April 15th 1989.
Buy 'Fields of Anfield Road' from the LFC official online store.
Buy 'Fields of Anfield Road' from HMV

Robbie Keane is now a Red
Liverpool have made their first big transfer of this summer, signing Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal that could be worth up to £20.3m. After passing a medical on Merseyside earlier today Irish forward Keane signed a four-year contract for the Reds, said to be worth £80,000 per-week, and is expected to be unveiled at a press conference tomorrow, ahead of Liverpool's flight to Spain for a pre-season friendly.
According to the Spurs website, Liverpool will pay the London side £19m for Keane, with a further £1.3m potentially to be paid later, based on undisclosed conditions.
Before the Keane deal was done, Liverpool boss Rafa Benítez had so far spent less than he'd brought in for transfers over the summer. His four previous signings added up to a total cost of £11.5m, with £7m Andrea Dossena the most expensive ahead of £3m Diego Cavalieri, £1.5m David N'gog and free transfer Philipp Degen.
Peter Crouch has been the most lucrative departure at a potential £11m, with the £4m received for John Arne Riise, alongside £3.25m for Scott Carson and £2.5m for Danny Guthrie, bringing in a total of around £20.75m. Jermaine Pennant, Andriy Voronin, Álvaro Arbeloa and Steve Finnan are some of the names still linked with moves away from Anfield, with Xabi Alonso's future still uncertain.
On top of these sales Rafa is believed to have a £20m net transfer budget; his net spend so far for the summer, including the full Keane fee, is just over £11m.
For Keane it's a second chance to pull on the famous shirt of the club he supported as a child. He was given the chance to sign as a youth for Liverpool fourteen years ago, but instead chose to start his professional career at Wolves, moving from local schoolboy side Crumlin United. The South Dublin club are believed to be entitled to a small cut of the fee Liverpool have paid for the player.
After Wolves he joined Coventry for £6m, which in 1999 was a record for a teenager. Then his value more than doubled when Inter Milan snapped him up for £13m. This didn't work out after the coach who bought him – Marcelo Lippi – was sacked by the Italian side and so Keane was soon back in the Premier League, playing for Leeds, on loan initially.
Leeds were still spending big money at the time, and turned the loan permanent six months later for £12m. A little over a year later the financial troubles had hit and Keane was sold to Spurs for £7m.
That proved to be the longest run he had with any club, today's transfer ending a six-year spell with the London side. In that time he scored 80 goals in 197 league appearances, 107 goals in 253 appearances overall. He was named vice-captain and wore the armband on numerous occasions in the absence of Ledley King, and was very much adored by the White Hart Lane fans.
Surprisingly he has only won one major honour, picking up a Carling Cup winner's medal last season as his club beat Chelsea at Wembley.
Internationally he became Ireland's skipper in 2006, and with 33 goals is their all-time top scorer, well ahead of previous record-holder Niall Quinn's haul of 21. Quinn was just ahead of former Liverpool striker John Aldridge, who ended his career with Ireland having scored 19 times.
Keane shares an agent with Liverpool captain and vice-captain Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, and it seems this link has helped this deal to come off. Spurs weren't happy, according to their chairman Daniel Levy, who recently claimed he had reported Liverpool to the Premier League for an unauthorised approach. This claim related to Rafa admitting in a press conference, in response to a direct question, that he was interested in Keane. But the admission came after Liverpool and Spurs had already been in advanced discussions for some time. Spurs were annoyed all the more that Rafa's comments also appeared on the club's official site on July 10th: "Keane is one of the other names and, okay, we are working on other names. We were in contact and we will see now."
Spurs now say that they have dropped any action against LFC, in return for a Reds donation to a Spurs charity, the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. A statement on Spurs' official site read: "The Club can announce that it has reached agreement with Liverpool FC for the transfer of Robbie Keane."
It then quoted Levy, who said: "I was incredibly disappointed when I first heard, not only that Liverpool had been working behind the scenes to bring Robbie to Anfield, but that Robbie himself wanted to go and he submitted a transfer request to this effect.
"I have already made my opinion clear on the nature of this transaction. I don't regard it as a transfer deal – that is something which happens between two clubs when they both agree to trade – this is very much an enforced sale, for which we have agreed a sum of £19m as compensation plus a potential further £1.3m in additional compensation."
The Spurs site said Liverpool had "acknowledged" how putting Rafa's comments (which had been on many other websites over the course of the day, including in video form on the Sky Sports website) on their own website was "inappropriate": "Liverpool FC has also acknowledged that the way its website reported comments of its manager, which were widely covered by the media, was inappropriate and in light of that acknowledgement has apologised and agreed to make a donation to our Club's main charity, the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. Tottenham Hotspur has therefore agreed not to pursue its official complaint to the Premier League."
Keane himself actually thanked Levy, and said he hoped the Spurs fans would understand why he felt he had to make this move: "I would specifically like to thank Daniel Levy for understanding that, as a fan, joining Liverpool is a lifelong dream of mine and one I couldn't let pass me by. I hope one day the Spurs fans, who have been brilliant to me, can understand this, too."
Although it seems likely Liverpool will need to sell at least one player first, the pursuit of Gareth Barry isn't entirely dependent on Xabi Alonso being that player sold. Rafa has spoken before of how Barry would not be a direct replacement for Xabi. Regardless of that, Liverpool will not pay Villa's asking price of over £18m, no matter how many times Martin O'Neill complains through the press. And the hints that Robbie Keane has been signed instead of Barry are wide of the mark; Keane's signature has not ended Liverpool's interest in Barry.
After fining him and banning him from Villa's premises, O'Neill is now talking about how he wants Barry to stay, perhaps even offering him a new contract. Knowing Liverpool are still very much interested in him, Barry is unlikely to accept that offer, knowing that he becomes more and more affordable the less time is left on his contract.
O'Neill turned down the option of first refusal on Scott Carson earlier in the summer, a fee of £8m believed to have been agreed when Carson first joined Villa on a 12-month £2m loan deal. Rafa is believed to have later offered him Carson for just £6m, again O'Neill unwilling or unable to meet that price. With Carson joining Villa's local rivals West Brom for just £3.25m, O'Neill could still have stepped in with a better offer and turned Carson's year-long stay into a permanent deal. Instead he has bought another former Liverpool keeper, Brad Friedel, for a fee believed to be just £2m.
The £10m fee often reported as agreed between the two clubs was believed to include the £2m loan fee already paid for Carson's 12 months at Villa park, but it did seem to be the fee holding O'Neill back from buying Carson permanently: "We have a number of issues," O'Neill said in May, "Scott is not our player. Liverpool have the right to do what they see fit at the moment. What I would like to say is that he has come here this season and other than being sent off in one game against Manchester United, he has played all the games possible. He played 35 out of 38 games in the league and overall I am really pleased he came to us.
"Scott came in and he had a lot to face up to in terms of having played for England in his tenure here. All the England players, and especially him, were blamed for their failure to qualify. Then he had the next couple of weeks where he was under pressure. I thought he coped with that pretty well."
Despite those praise-filled words, O'Neill decided against beating the West Brom bid of just £3.25m, and once again questions have to be asked as to just how much of a budget O'Neill has this summer, and how much his plans might hinge on persuading Liverpool to pay his valuation for Gareth Barry. Although Liverpool's interest in the player remains strong, the more of pre-season goes by the less effective his arrival at the club could be, and eventually there will come a point where Rafa will look at other options.
But Rafa Benítez will be delighted that Robbie Keane will be pictured alongside him in a Liverpool shirt tomorrow, LFC scarf over his head, after the club have paid what is second only to the Fernando Torres fee in their list of record signings. He'll be delighted to have a similar photo-shoot alongside Barry, but O'Neill will have to accept a lower fee first, a fee that would still be Liverpool's third-highest transfer fee of all time.
Keane is expected to be given the number 7 shirt, recently vacated by his former Leeds team-mate Harry Kewell.

Hammill goes out on loan, Keane deal said to be close
Liverpool's young winger Adam Hammill has signed a new contract with the club – and then gone immediately out on loan.
20-year-old Hammill will join up with Blackpool tomorrow as he begins his six-month stint at the Lancashire side. Rafa Benitez is keen to see certain members of the young reserve squad get competitive experience. Blackpool will play in the Championship for the second year running, having waited until the final day of the season to avoid relegation. It was their first season at that level in 29 years.
Hammill's new deal with Liverpool runs until 2011, and his loan follows spells in previous season at Dunfermline and Southampton.
There has been an influx of young foreign talent coming into Liverpool's reserves in the last couple of seasons, but Hammill is a local lad and a product of the club's Academy. Chances of first team football at Anfield will be limited for even the most-talented youngsters, and by playing at Championship level at relatively-local side Blackpool, Hammill will get vital experience without being forgotten by the club who pay his wages.
Meanwhile a player who turned down a chance to move to Liverpool as a youngster, because he feared a lack of first team experience would stall his career, should get that chance again in the next couple of days. Tottenham's Robbie Keane chose to start his professional career with Wolves instead, despite having supported Liverpool as a boy, and now Liverpool are believed to be on the verge of making him their latest signing.
Keane is the Spurs vice-captain, and it seems it is only the lure of Champions League football, at the club he supported as a boy, that could tempt him to look elsewhere. He signed a five-year contract just over a year ago, meaning that Liverpool will need to pay a large fee for the 28-year-old. The overall deal, including add-ons, is expected to be close to £18m. Keane is now believed to have already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, and is set to undergo a medical very soon.
The 28-year-old has the same agent as Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, and was one of the guests at the opening of Carra's restaurant in Liverpool. He is believed to be desperate to join up not only with Carra and Gerrard, but to play alongside Fernando Torres in a strong Liverpool attack.
At the moment Rafa's summer spending is actually in credit, to the tune of around £11m. Liverpool have so far spent £10m on additions to the first-team squad, in the shape of defenders Philipp Degen and Andrea Dossena, along with goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri. Outgoing players so far are Danny Guthrie (£2.5m), Scott Carson (£3.25m), John Arne Riise (£4m) and Peter Crouch (£11m). Also no longer at the club are Harry Kewell and Anthony Le Tallec, neither of whom commanded a fee, meaning Rafa has so far had just under £21m back in.
As well as the money from those and other sales, Rafa is believed to have been handed a summer budget of £20m net. Charles Itandje, Jermaine Pennant, Steve Finnan and Xabi Alonso are all possibilities for leaving this summer, potentially bringing over £20m back in. But Rafa has other targets lined up, Villa's Gareth Barry the most well-documented, and Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing one of a number of others being seriously considered, meaning the full budget looks likely to be used.

Riise joins Roma
John Arne Riise is no longer a Liverpool player after he left and joined AS Roma for just short of £4m, according to an announcement from the Italian side tonight.
The fee of €5m, which converts to £3.96m, is close to the £4.6m Liverpool paid for him seven years ago, when former boss Gerard Houllier signed him from Monaco. Riise has signed for four years, the Roma website says.
The Italian club's statement simply read: "AS Roma announce they have reached an agreement with Liverpool Football Club for the acquisition of the sporting rights of the player John Arne Riise with effect from July 1 2008."
However Liverpool FC's remained more cautious about confirming the news. The deal has been as good as done, but they are waiting for the red tape before confirming the news. A statement on LFC.tv said: "Liverpool are awaiting completion of the necessary paperwork before officially announcing John Arne Riise's transfer to AS Roma. Riise arrived in the Italian capital on Wednesday and held talks with the Serie A side, who have since announced he has signed on a four year deal."
Riise had taken some time to come to terms with the idea he was surplus to requirements in the eyes of Rafa Benítez, but when he did accept the idea commented that the £5m demanded by Liverpool seemed high. The fee paid is good business for Liverpool considering the Norwegian star had just a year left on his deal.
Riise finalised talks on personal terms, already initiated by his agent, and passed a medical in the Italian capital. A statement earlier in the day from Roma said: "As part of ongoing negotiations with Liverpool football club regarding the signing of John Arne Riise, Roma have been authorised to deal with the agent of the player." His agent, Jan Kvalheim, had also confirmed Riise's presence in Italy: "I can confirm that John Arne Riise is in Rome for a medical and to finalise the negotiations. A few small details remain."

Babel back for pre-season, then the Olympics.
Liverpool forward Ryan Babel could be fit for the start of the season, although Liverpool may not get the benefit of a quicker-than-expected recovery. He tore ankle ligaments during training on Saturday, ruling him out of the Dutch Euro 2008 bid, but his national boss Marco van Basten says he should be fit before the end of July.
Van Basten said: "He needs five to seven weeks to recover," He explained what happened: "He was on the other end of the field when he turned around. He told me that he heard something snap, and others heard it too. He went to a hospital and there it became clear he had torn a muscle."
The flip side to this good news is that Holland's coach for the Olympics in Beijing now has his eye on the 21-year-old, adding to Rafa Benítez's worries about his squad for the start of the season. Lucas will almost certainly be in Beijing on duty for Brazil, with Javier Mascherano a likely call-up as an overage player for Argentina. Also in with a chance of a place in the Argentina squad are Sebastian Leto and Emiliano Insua.
The Dutch under-23 coach Foppe de Haan will look after the Olympic side, and he made it clear he'd be considering Babel for the trip: "If Ryan recovers, he's a sure candidate for a place in the team. With his qualities, he could be a very important player or us. We must wait and see how long his convalescence will last."
De Haan said he'd have preferred Babel to be in the senior side: "I find it a shame that Ryan has to miss the European Championship final stage. His absence is also a large blow to the national side. He could have been our secret weapon."
Dirk Kuyt, Babel's team-mate for club and country, also said Babel's absence would be bad for the national side: "It is a terrible blow for Ryan, and a real shock for all of us.The feeling in the camp was that it was quite a bad injury. And it happened without any contact with anyone else, he went down in training as he was running."
At first there were fears it was more than ligament damage: "He switched from left to right with the ball and his leg just buckled under him. There was a loud noise, we felt at first it might have been broken, everyone heard it. It is really sad for him and hopefully he will recover as quick as possible to be back at Liverpool next season from the start. I feel very sorry for what has happened to Ryan. He has trained really well and looked very good as the tournament approached.
"It is very disappointing for us, and obviously for him, that he is out. It is a big tournament, and he would have been very important for us and, of course, also at Liverpool. Hopefully he will be fit for the beginning of the season, but we will have to wait and see about that. All I can say is that I want him to be back as quick as possible. I have left a message on his phone wishing him well, he was clearly very upset about what had happened."
What did Dirk say to Ryan? "I just told him how sorry I was that he was missing the European finals and to get himself back as quick as he could. He has shown how important he was for Liverpool, coming on so often as substitute and scoring really important goals. Maybe Holland would have used him in the same way. He did so well during the Champions League for us, it was obvious what he could give to a team."
Meanwhile Liverpool's bid to buy Italian left-back Andrea Dossena has moved a step closer with reports that the player is expected on Merseyside tomorrow for a medical and to discuss personal terms.
His current club Udinese awarded the player a new contract, lasting until 2012, just last October, and had asked £8m for his services. Liverpool were only offering £6m, but it now seems the two clubs have reached a compromise.

Barry: Champions League football important
Liverpool target Gareth Barry is still trying hard to show the utmost respect to his current club Aston Villa, but seems to be trying to prepare them for his departure from the club.
Although 27-year-old Barry hasn't yet been given permission to speak to the Reds, he obviously knows about their interest. The first public sign of this came when Martin O'Neill responded to a Liverpool Echo article reporting a Liverpool bid. O'Neill had assumed Liverpool FC had fed the story to the Echo and complained bitterly in the press, although he should have looked closer to home for the blame. But his outburst confirmed the bid had been made.
After a personally memorable game for England last night he was asked he was keen on joining Liverpool FC. He was keen to emphasise his deep feelings for Villa, but pointed out it might be the right time to look a little higher up the league: "Just to think about it makes it a tough decision. There's so much to lose at Aston Villa. I've been there more than ten years, got a good rapport with the fans, I'm captain there and have a great relationship with the manager. But Champions League football helps any player." Continue reading Barry: Champions League football important

Dossena wants to join, Xabi wants to stay
Reports that a Juventus representative held talks with Liverpool boss Rafa Benítez have seen renewed speculation that Xabi Alonso is on his way out of the club, but once again the Spanish midfielder has denied any knowledge of being on his way out.
Juventus director Jean-Claude Blanc did meet Rafa, but the clear signal coming from Melwood is that Rafa would not even consider for a second anything less than a "massive" offer for Xabi, according to the Echo. Italian paper Gazzetta dello Sport said on Monday that Juve had offered £12 million and had expected to finalise the transfer next week, but it won't be done at that price, if at all. And reports from Liverpool said no formal offer had been made.
Alonso himself was asked by the press back home about the latest claims but said nothing had changed since the last time he said he wanted to stay at the club. Speaking to the Catalonian paper Mundo Deportivo he said: "This is nothing new, there is always speculation about me. I know perfectly well what my situation is."
He says the speculation wasn't down to him, and there were no signs of Liverpool actively seeking to sell: "This has nothing to do with me. If the club wanted to sell me, I would know about it. If the club want to cash in on me and buy other players, I would accept it and look for another club, but they haven't said anything to me. For that reason I think my future is still with Liverpool."
In an earlier interview he said he would expect Rafa to be honest with him if was looking to sell him: "He has never said that he wants me to leave. If he thought that way I would prefer him to be honest and say 'Xabi, we are thinking about other players and you are not going to play that much,' then I would look for a different option. But he still thinks I can play an important role." Continue reading Dossena wants to join, Xabi wants to stay

Reports: Dossena set for Reds, Lee delighted to join
With Rafa Benítez having already lined-up one new full-back in Swiss right-back Philipp Degen, the Liverpool boss is now linked with another in Italian left-back Andrea Dossena.
26-year-old Dossena made his one-and-only international appearance for the World Champions in a friendly against South Africa last October, getting the assist for Lucarelli's only goal of the game. Italy coach Roberto Donadoni still hasn't named his squad for the Euro 2008 finals and is giving little away as to who might be in it, but the Udinese number 8 will consider himself a possibility.
Tottenham have been linked with the Udinese defender too, but are no longer believed to be interested. The fee quoted in reports linking him with Spurs was £8m. Reports in the Italian press claim a deal with Liverpool is close, saying Liverpool have already agreed personal terms with the player's agent, Federico Pastorello, and are now talking to Udinese about the fee.
Udinese director general Pietro Leonardi played down the links yesterday: "We have always said that we will not change the team. For Dossena to Liverpool there is nothing concrete, he has a contract with us until 2012 and the rest is speculation."
Dossena has been with Udinese since 2006, and has had two red cards so far in this Italian season, which ends tomorrow. Udinese visit AC Milan who are hoping for three points and favours elsewhere to get them a Champions League qualifying spot. Udinese will finish in at least seventh place and have already qualified for the UEFA Cup. Continue reading Reports: Dossena set for Reds, Lee delighted to join

Lee set to join as Rafa continues transfer work
Former Liverpool midfielder Sammy Lee is looking more likely to be offered the job of assistant to Reds manager Rafael Benítez.
Lee's departure from Anfield last time round was when he took up an offer to work full-time for the England national set-up under Sven-Goran Eriksson at the same time as Rafa arrived as the replacement for Gerard Houllier. He'd been first-team coach for Liverpool up until then, a position he'd moved into after a time as reserve coach.
As the only existing Spanish-speaking member of the coaching staff when Rafa arrived in 2004 it was expected that Sammy would stay on, but he felt it was time to try a new challenge. A year later he took the job as assistant to "Big" Sam Allardyce at Bolton, before getting the job as boss himself at the Horwich-based outfit right at the end of last season. Unfortunately that was one phase of his career that didn't work out and he left the job in October. Continue reading Lee set to join as Rafa continues transfer work
Torres: Support is "something special"
Fernando Torres has returned some of the compliments the Liverpool supporters have been paying him over the course of his electric first season in the English league. Torres signed from Atletico Madrid last summer and in scoring his 24th league goal on Sunday broke himself a record. He is now the most prolific foreign player in a Premier League debut season.
He says that a big part of his success is down to the encouragement and support of the Anfield faithful: "The supporters back the players, regardless of who is out on the pitch. They enjoy watching their key players play, because Liverpool has great players, but Liverpool will always be a team."
There were times this season when it wasn't the case, as the discontent during a run of poor form could be heard clearly from the stands, but on the whole Liverpool fans don't turn on their own team: "The fans get behind the side even when things are not working out, and they are always there until the death. That is the major difference with football back in Spain. If a team is not doing well, then it is because the players do not deserve to be wearing the club's colours.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Torres went on: "At Liverpool, if a player is wearing their shirt, it is because he deserves it. The fans ask for effort and dedication, and their support is something special, something that stays with you." Continue reading Torres: Support is "something special"

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert

Contains 10 key ideas

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (1999) draws on data from relationship studies and interviews to do exactly what it promises in its title. These blinks take you through the key changes you can make to overcome the common problems that damage relationships and build a supportive, romantic marriage.
Key idea 1 of 10
Principle One: Functioning couples have a richly detailed love map.
If you have a husband or wife, you'll likely be wise to plenty of special, private or sensitive information about them. But did you know this information is actually stored in our minds in a love map?
The more developed your love map, the stronger your love.
In several recorded cases of divorce, partners weren't actually that familiar with each other; they didn't dedicate enough space in their brain for the marriage. With no love map, you can't fully know your partner, and without really knowing your partner, how can you truly love them?
Take the example of Rory, a pediatrician who ran an intensive care unit for babies. Being a workaholic, he often slept at the hospital overnight. At work he got along well, but his homelife was a different story. He didn't know the family dog's name or where his house's back door was. In fact, he had become so tangled up in work that his emotional connection to his wife and children had deteriorated. His love map left a lot to be desired.
It's important to be aware of your love map because it contains your own and your partner's aspirations and life philosophies. But it can change. Having a baby can radically alter a woman's life purpose or direction, and thus change her love map.
Take Maggie and Ken, who had been together only a little while before they chose to marry and start a family. They were aware of each others' beliefs, hopes and fears; Ken understood that Maggie was dedicated to her career as a computer scientist. However, when Maggie gave birth to her daughter, she put her career aside in order to stay home and look after the baby. Ken saw that his wife had changed.
This is not unusual; becoming a parent changes your values and identity. Maggie's love map had changed to fit her new priorities, and Ken had to realign his own love map accordingly.

Key ideas in this title
Principle Two: If a couple has a fondness and admiration system, their marriage is salvageable.
Principle Three: During brief and seemingly trivial chitchats, couples turn toward one another.
Principle Four: Partners should let each other influence their decisions by taking each others' opinions and feelings into account.
Principle Five: There are two kinds of marital conflicts – solvable and perpetual problems.
Principle Six: When you feel gridlocked because of a problem that can't be solved, you have to learn to cope with it.
Principle Seven: You don't have to agree on what is meaningful about your lives together.
There are various signs which indicate divorce is likely.
Typical marital challenges which can be solved are in-laws or a new baby.

My husband has been requesting for a cinnamon bread for a long time because nobody is selling cinnamon bread here in Singapore except for the cinnamon pretzels from Auntie anne's. Cinnamon bread is a personal favorite of mine. I usually ask Patricio, Lolo Clauds, Richard, or even Krisby (the best bakers and pattisiers and chocolatiers I've ever met and worked with) or my ninang Klay who is the best bread R&D there is who can "copy" any existing bread recipes in town.
I am actually trying to copy cinnabon's cinnamon bread patricio gave me the recipe before but I think I lost it. so now, I'm starting from scratch My aim here is too achieve the bread itself, toppings will come next as it is easier.
The thing is, I'm just using a home-baking mixer (Kenwood) in which case, it is sooooooo difficult to achieve gluten development. It took me a long time to do so. Good thing I used cold milk otherwise, my dough will be toasted hot.
The Result? first, I over baked it wehehehe BUT the texture of the bread is good and soft. the outer skin, since it was over baked, came out to be a little bit "gummy" (my husband's term, and he loves it that way) My husband loved it, my friends and sister too and most of all the kids of ais and macoy liked it.
White Sugar – 200 g.
Cinnamon Powder – 30 g.
* Fermentation and proofing time depends on the yeast used.
4. Mix the dough until the gluten is developed. To check if gluten is developed, take out a piece of the dough, stretch it out, if a plastic-like appears in the middle, then the gluten is well developed. Just make sure that the dough is not hot or not more than 40degrees Celsius.
5.Once gluten development is achieved, form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic. Ferment for 60 minutes or until the dough doubled in size.
6. Cut the dough in two. Round and rest for 10 minutes.
8. With a rolling pin, roll out dough to make a sheet. Brush dough sheet with the melted butler. Spread half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the dough. Spread some raisins on top.
10. Put cut dough into a greased baking pan and proof for 60 – 120 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
12. After proofing, brush the sides of the dough with the egg wash.
perfectly made indeed for a beginner..practice makes perfect sis!!!congrats!!!
Where do you get your inspiration for post ideas? I've been thinking of coming up with my own blog but don't know if I could write as good as you. Any tips for a newbie to the blogging world?


Does March Madness have you glued to your TV? For many people, the annual basketball tournament is a chance to admire college athletes' skill, conditioning and talent – and perhaps be inspired to start exercising more. And while basketball seems easy, we should keep in mind the hard work and injuries that they players face daily.
The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture). The tendon can rupture completely or just partially.
If you have an Achilles tendon rupture, you might feel a pop or snap, followed by an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that usually affects your ability to walk properly. Surgery is often the best treatment option to repair an Achilles tendon rupture. For many people, however, nonsurgical treatment works just as well.
Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation. Proper stretches and massage can prevent plantar fasciitis.

2019 Freedom Through Literacy Award Winners Named
By jrrtestadmin July 28, 2019 July 29, 2019 Media
CONTACT: Cathy Leiber
Empowering Global Communities to Create Positive Reading Experiences
From Allentown, St. Paul and New York City … To Greece, Zimbabwe and Australia
July 27, 2019 — Lehigh Valley, Pa — Judith's Reading Room names "Barbershop Books," as Grand Prize Winner of the 2019 Freedom Through Literacy Award. Led by educator and author Alvin Irby, based in New York City, Barbershop Books is a laser-focused community-based program that creates child-friendly reading spaces in barbershops involving Black men, Black boys and Black barbers. Irby believes that "early positive reading experiences help children identify as readers and when children identify as readers they are more likely to read for fun." The Barbershop Books program currently has child-friendly reading spaces in 140 barbershops across more than 30 cities and 20 states, reaching over 5,600 boys per month. Books are selected by young Black boys and Irby's program provides early literacy training to barbers. For his work, Irby is awarded the 2019 Grand Prize Award valued at $3,000.
The Judith's Award — exclusive to teachers, librarians or authors — names Vicky Xanthopoulou, originator of "Let's Play Book," its 2019 Judith's Award recipient. The elementary school teacher from Potamia Village, Thassos Island, North Greece created the innovative project titled, "Let's Play Book," which combines in her words, "the innate impulsion of children to play with the need to penetrate the text and all book's aspects." "Let's Play Book" is the winner of numerous Greek literacy distinctions and is based on reading animations designed to cultivate shared values for her multi-cultural students. Her work is essential: there is no lending library in her village, so her original publications have proven to be essential in providing basic literacy tools. For her innovative, creative and passionate work in a village with no library, Judith's Reading Room awards Xanthopoulou the 2019 Judith's Award valued at $500.
The Board Option Award with a total prize of $1,000 is shared amongst four visionary individuals. The winners of the 2019 Board Option Award are:
Karen Brown, Caring For Cats Shelter Volunteer, "Cat Tales — Kids Reading to Cats," based in North St. Paul, Minnesota. At this no-kill all volunteer cat shelter, Brown provides books for children to read aloud to kitty cats while they consider adoption. One mother wrote, "My son's fondness for reading is rather small. But the spot in his heart for cats is quite large. I'm hopeful that this will help him learn to love reading." She writes, "we provide an entirely different setting where the kitties and children are both primary program beneficiaries." Brown is awarded a 2019 Board Option prize valued at $300.
Kathleen Kapila, Librarian, Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, "LGBT Children's Literacy: Drag Queen Story Hour" based in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "The connection between community and literacy is especially true for people with marginalized identities," the application states. Drag Queen story hours, in which drag performers read books to children, encouraging a love of reading and freedom of gender expression, speaks to the heart of the Freedom Through Literacy Award and to the life-work of Judith Krug, in whose memory Judith's Reading Room was created. As founder of Banned Books Week over 40 years ago, Krug's favorite book to read aloud in elementary classrooms was And Tango Makes Three, a story of two male penguins raising a chick. Kapila is awarded a 2019 Board Option prize valued at $300.
Sue Goatley, nonprofit leader, Children in the Wilderness, for her support of "St. Mary's Primary School Library Enrichment Project," based in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. In the Hwange Region, where there is nowhere to buy books, St. Mary's Primary School is a haven for its 845 students who rely on the school for opening up their world through books. We recognize Sue Goatley for her work to provision a library in a country that does not provide government support for rural educational resource needs and for recognizing that even if the child cannot read, the idea of a book is "such an exciting prospect for them." Goatley is awarded a 2019 Board Option prize valued at $200.
Kulasekara Mudiyanselage Chanith Wijeratne, Author and Illustrator, for his project "Promoting Conservation Through Inspired Reading," Essendon, Victoria, Australia. Chanith, at the age of six, published Wildlife of Udawalawe National Park at Lens Range — the first-ever book about this globally popular National Park in Sri Lanka.Wijeratne has since completed 10 books on the wildlife of Sri Lanka, Australia and South Africa. His attitude toward literacy is clear: "being able to read and write prepares us well to serve fellow human beings." We recognize Chanith Wijeratne, who is in Grade 12, as an accomplished author, naturalist, and role model for other children. Wijeratne is awarded a 2019 Board Option prize valued at $200.
Judith's Reading Room mission is to enrich lives and societies by proactively encouraging freedom through literacy. To date, the organization has fulfilled that mission by establishing 97 libraries in 20 countries (and counting!) with 128,000 books donated valued at nearly $1.4 million dollars. The Freedom Through Literacy Award, initiated in 2015 as the organization's signature event, has disbursed $33,500 in prize money, honoring 31 individual champions of literacy in the United States, the Philippines, Bhutan, Pakistan, Rwanda, Cambodia, Mexico, Australia, Zimbabwe and Greece.

Stunning views and rattled nerves abound at cliff-clinging Aussie abode
The modern prefab specialists at Modscape went for the obvious when naming this conceptual home. But hey, it fits.
September 11, 2014, 8:30 p.m.
Would you live in Cliff House full-time, part-time or not-at-all time? (Renderings: Modscape)
Cliff House, a barnacle-hanging-from-a-boat's hull inspired vacation home that dangles precariously over a vast and raging ocean, went viral earlier this week. You may have seen it. You may have had nightmares about it.
The creation of Aussie prefab design/build firm Modscape, the conceptual dwelling is pure spectacle geared to elicit a variety of bug-eyed reactions. The five-story home was conceived, in the words of Modscape, as a "theoretical response to clients" who had expressed interest in exploring "design options for extreme parcels of coastal land in Australia." Anchored to the face of the cliff by "engineered steel pins," the design presents itself as a "natural extension of the cliff face rather than an addition to the landscape, creating an absolute connection with the ocean."
It's intriguing and all, but my one complaint is with the home's name. Cliff House. It's sweet, simple and gets the job done but perhaps a bit more time could have been spent on this. I'm not saying it should have been called Diazepam Manor or the Sandstone Express or anything like that — it just seems that such an attention-grabbing concept deserves an equally as attention-grabbing name. When I think "Cliff House," I think of an overpriced fine dining restaurant (good for prom dates, Easter brunch and not much else) in Anytown, U.S.A.
As for the layout of Cliff House, it's pretty straightforward: The only way in and out of the structure is through the carport; from there, you descend via stairs or elevator to the lower levels which include three bedrooms, an open living/dining/lounging room and, at "the bottom," an open-air hot tub and BBQ area that's for the strong-stomached only.
Décor wise, the place is done up in an unfussy minimalist fashion "to ensure that the transcendent views of the ocean and the unique spatial experience of the location remain the integral focal point of the design." You know, in case you happen to forget your hanging from the side of a cliff.
As pointed out by Lloyd Alter at sister site TreeHugger, quixotic conceptual designs like Cliff House aren't Modscapes' bread and butter although this has certainly gained the firm a whole bunch of publicity.
Based in the Melbourne suburbs, Modscape is responsible for some beautiful real and viable (and less vertiginous) modern prefab work. Lloyd takes a closer look at an off-grid cabin that blends wonderfully into the rugged landscape of Tintaldra, Victoria — for both residential and commercial clients, always with an with a keen eye toward environmental sustainability. They're a serious firm firm that has done some truly nice work. This decidedly less conspicuous four-bedroom spread is particularly lovely.
Any thoughts on Cliff House? A yes, please? Or, a no thank you very much?

The Trasimeno Archaeology Field School, based in nearby Castiglione del Lago on the shores of Lake Trasimeno between Umbria and Tuscany, provides a curricular concentration in Archaeology and History. This six-week program begins with student arrival and pick-up from the Rome airport and transfer to Perugia for the welcome dinner. After orientation, the group is brought to nearby Castiglione del Lago where they live for the duration of the program. This location was chosen for its wonderfully hospitable community and its jurisdiction and proximity to the archaeological site. Student time will be allocated between on-site work (at the newly discovered ruins of a Roman Villa on Lake Chuisi), in-class lessons, extra-curricular activities in Castiglione and Perugia, and field trips. At the end of the program, students will be transferred to Perugia for a farewell festa and taken by private bus to the Rome airport for departure.
Program dates are provided on the academic calendar.
The last three years of campaigns in the territory of Castiglione del Lago have revealed significant archaeological remains, including a Roman building complex and a possible Roman road. The goal of the campaign as a whole is to assess the original pattern of human impact in the entire territory, and understand its development since antiquity.
Umbra Institute's mission is to develop our students' expertise in the full range of methods and processes employed in a complete archaeological project, from research design and preliminary survey of the territory, to methods of data collection in the field and digging, to the cataloging and display of archaeological remains. Investigating the archaeological heritage of this landscape, our project provides an instructive example of how different civilizations built upon one another in the same geographic area.
Both the course and workshop are mandatory and have no prerequisites. They include field trips to various archaeological and cultural sites, including an overnight trip to Rome. The field trips are designed to enhance your understanding of the territory's history, while also providing the opportunity to study and visit neighboring archaeological sites and major museum collections.
Archaeology is the study of past civilizations through their material remains. This archaeological material includes anything left behind by ancient people, from buildings to coins. Most of these objects were not left behind on purpose, but rather were thrown away, lost, or abandoned as a result of the natural course of life or due to natural or man-made change. Archeological remains have to be interpreted; the real challenge of archaeological research is to "tell a story" from these objects.
The course provides insight into theories and methods in archaeological research, data collection, and analysis. The objective is to familiarize you with the strategies employed in the investigation of archaeological records. The theoretical section aims to approach the discipline from different points of view. We will focus on the history of Archaeology in Italy, its origins and development, and the theories and methods of classical archaeology. Next, you will learn about a variety of Etruscan and Roman sites as case studies. The course includes visits to local archaeological museums and other sites of interest.
In accordance to Umbra Institute's philosophy, one of the Trasimeno Archaeology Field School goals is to create a stronger and more productive bond with the local community. For this reason, part of the course will be spent in building long-term cooperation with all actors who are interested in the recovery and development of the archaeological heritage of the region.
Basic archaeological field methods and their application in the Italian context.
All modern archaeology begins with a wide range of non-destructive reconnaissance techniques to locate and characterize archaeological sites (e.g., aerial imagery, geophysical prospection, and intensive survey). By mapping and recording previously unknown and undocumented sites, we help preserve the past from destruction by development and looting. This is ethically responsible and sustainable archaeology. After data has been collected (through survey, digging or both), it is processed and studied to form a coherent narrative that explains the history of a site as we have come to know it, and is then openly shared through publication.
The Trasimeno Archaeology Field School aims to structure a long-term project, based on this holistic approach to current strategies of research.
At the site, you will learn how to design an archaeological survey and how to use sophisticated GPS (Global Positioning System) equipment in conjunction with computerized mapping techniques (GIS) to document the location of archaeological finds. Based on these results, fieldwork may include stratigraphic excavation. In the next step, you will also learn how to process, analyze, and interpret materials collected from the survey (or possible excavation).
Daily activities for the archaeological practicum include lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice from pre-fieldwork preparation to post-fieldwork processing of data, including work with ceramics and other small finds. Field trips led by the faculty will take students to other archaeological sites and museums, providing historical and geographical context to the field training.
How to "read" material remains of the ancient Roman world.
Mandatory course reader. Tools for field work will be available on site.
The fieldwork takes place at a recently discovered archaeological find located on the shores of Lake Chiusi, on the Umbrian-Tuscan border just a few miles from Castiglione del Lago and Lake Trasimeno. On fieldwork days, a private bus will take students, faculty, and staff to the site for a full-day's work and research. Lunch is on-site, and students return home in the mid-afternoon. Alternating days will be spent in class, at the local museum, or on field trips to nearby sites of interest.
This archaeological site was has yet to be fully mapped and explored. Preliminary findings indicate the presence of a Roman villa, including thermal infrastructures, mosaics, and a possible Roman road. The Archaeological Field School is a long-term project run in cooperation with local institutions. Every summer, students contribute to the uncovering of the site and the display of artifacts in the expanding archaeological museum of Castiglione del Lago. Join us this summer to explore this exciting discovery and unearth the secrets that lie beneath as we travel back to the time of ancient Rome.
Note: Participating in an archaeological campaign is exciting work, but it is also sometimes tiring and challenging. It is important that you are ready and fit for outdoor physical activity. The typical day starts early in the morning and runs until mid-afternoon.
Castiglione del Lago is a charming medieval town in Umbria, located on top of a small peninsula along the southwestern shores of Lake Trasimeno. A member of the prestigious I Borghi più Belli d'Italia Association (The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy), Castiglione is situated between renowned historical cities, such as Orvieto, Chiusi, Arezzo, Cortona, and Perugia. All Field School participants will stay in Castiglione during the summer term, only a few miles away from Perugia and easily accessible by bus or train. Program participants live in modernly furnished studio apartments (2-3 students each) a short walk from the lake shore, supermarkets and all other important venues. All apartments include fully-equipped kitchens.
In line with Umbra's traditional focus on community engagement, field school participants will have the opportunity to enjoy day-to-day life as a local and experience the ambiance of an Italian town. A renowned summer location, Castiglione is an international venue for relaxing vacations, swimming and sun-bathing on its beaches, or for practicing a variety of sports: cycling, sailing, wind- and kite-surfing, and canoeing. The beautiful hills surrounding the area offer opportunities for hiking, mountain-biking, and horseback riding. Bus and train services connect Castiglione to other cities, including Rome and Florence, making it easy to travel over weekends.
The Archaeological Field School is collaborative and aims to involve the community of Castiglione del Lago in a long-term relationship. As part of the project, students cooperate with the local archaeological museum to enhance its visibility and impact.
The Trasimeno Archaeology Field School is run by the Umbra Institute in cooperation with the Archeological Superintendency of Umbria, with the Comune of Castiglione del Lago and the Archeological Research Company Intrageo.
Academic program, housing, airport transfers, Resident Director, orientation, use of facilities in Castiglione del Lago, Umbra-sponsored cultural activities, transportation to/from dig site, museum entrance fees, field trips and excursions, overnight trip to Rome, and official transcripts.
Airfare to/from Rome, meals, lab fees (€ 250), and personal expenses.

Dylan LeBlanc, at 29, steeped in '70s singer-songwriter traditions
Dylan LeBlanc performs Wednesday at the Casbah.
((Photo by Alysse Gafkjen) )
By George Varga
Dylan LeBlanc grew up in Louisiana and Alabama, but much of his music is steeped in the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter canon of the late 1960s and early 1970s — an era the predates his birth by nearly two decades.
LeBlanc, who turns 30 next year, also cites Fleetwood Mac and Todd Rundgren, circa the mid-'70s, as key inspirations.
He's now on tour to promote his fourth album, "Renegade," which pays homage to Neil Young (on "Born Again," "Damned" and "Domino,"), Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ("Renegade," which should not be confused with Petty's song of the same name) and the pre-Joe Walsh era Eagles ("I See It in Your Eyes").
Like The War On Drugs band leader Adam Granduciel, LeBlanc is a dedicated tune-smith and a relatively young man who unabashedly draws from music of the past.
Whether he can match War On Drugs' Grammy-winning, chart-topping success remains to be seen. But — with more time to evolve and hone his music — LeBlanc could build on his influences to develop a distinct sound of his own. He clearly has the ability.
Dylan LeBlanc, with Erin Rae: 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd., Middletown. $12 (advance), $15 (at the door); must be 21 or older to attend. (619) 234-4355. casbahmusic.com

Q: Responsive Site - Phantom width causing horizontal scroll bar I am building myself a portfolio website that is causing me a lot of grief in trying to make it responsive. It didn't start out responsive which was my first mistake but I have gotten so close to making it all work now that I would really appreciate some expert help.
if you go to http://www.moreiradesigns.com and make the width of the browser screen as small as it can go you will immediately see what the problem is.
A horizontal scroll bar appears and grows inversely proportional to the size of the screen. If you scroll right you will see nothing there and you will note that the body ends where it is supposed to.
Any help would be great in diagnosing the problem!
-P.S. It is extremely glaring on any sort of mobile device =(

A: Your porftolio download section has a left property set to 520px, which is wider than many small screens.
.portfolioDownload {
  position: absolute;
  width: 0em;
  height: 0em;
  float: left;
  left: 520px;
  margin-top: 0px;
  visibility: hidden;
}

A: In addition to what Cyrena said, your <ul id="Grid"> is set to 100%, its parent is set to 96%, and its great-grandparent id="portfolio" is set to 100%, which will all conspire to give you some unwanted width expansion.

Q: How to change a "not idempotent" property in RESTful API? My API RESTful Structure is :
{
    "users":[
        {
            "id": 100,
            "idempotent_property": 10,
            "not_idempotent_property": 10
        }
    ]

}

If I want to change only the value of "idempotent_property", I do : PATCH /users/100 > body : {"idempotent_property": 17}
But How must I do if I want to change only the value of "not_idempotent_property" ?
PATCH must be used only for idempotent objet/property, isn't it ?
I think to this : POST /users/100/not_idempotent_property > body : {"value": 15}

A: Find some documentation what this patch actually does. For example if you pass 10 it might add 10 somewhere in a database, clearly not idempotent.
The solution is that you call PATCH for this property exactly once. Or maybe you read the value, and Patch and check the new value.
The problem is really when PATCH returns a failure and you don't know if the operation has been performed or not. For idempotent properties you can just pATCH again.
BTW By definition PATCH is Not idempotent.

A:
A PATCH is not necessarily idempotent, although it can be. Contrast
this with PUT; which is always idempotent. The word "idempotent" means
that any number of repeated, identical requests will leave the
resource in the same state. For example if an auto-incrementing
counter field is an integral part of the resource, then a PUT will
naturally overwrite it (since it overwrites everything), but not
necessarily so for PATCH.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/PATCH
Not sure what you mean by "idempotent objet/property". Afaik. operations can be idempotent, not properties. If you mean that the value of the property changes between you send the response and send a new request based on the response, then you can version the resource state and send for example the if unmodified since or if match header with the PATCH request.

So! The Aromaleigh Primavera boxes that Freddie (@Tattle_Crime, reporter extraordinaire, hair game too strong) and I consulted on should have all arrived now, and the very limited-quantity extras are available. (GO GO GO!). So I wanted to walk through the themes and the visual inspirations and all of that, because honestly, matching the colors to the pictures has always been my favorite part.
First things first: the seasons 1-2 collection, the thirty "This Is My Design" colors, continue to be available. (I highly recommend Chrysalis, as it is both sparkly and easy to wear.) This year, though, Kristen's wanted to get into smaller batch collections, so she decided to do pre-orders for two boxed sets, one for the Florence half of season 2 and onse for the Red Dragon half. Thus, Kristen wanted to pull the themes for the first box from a painting that ended up being a major plot point in the first half: Botticelli's La Primavera.
"Like a Botticelli," Will realizes, looking at the crime scene photos.
"Exactly like a Botticelli," says Pazzi. "His painting Primavera still hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, just as it did twenty years ago. The garlanded nymph on the right, the flowers streaming from her mouth... Match. Match."
Fast forward twenty years, and we find Hannibal back in Florence, reigning in his supreme facade over the city and it's academia with the fortitude and influence of a Medici. It seems only fitting that Primavera was painted by Botticelli for the Medici family. The Medici were powerful and wealthy patrons of the arts and all things aesthetically pleasing and upscale. Like a modern-day Lorenzo de' Medici, Hannibal gracefully wraps himself into any role necessary to protect his ruse and feast on the bonfire of modern-day vanities and rudeness. Much like the central themes depicted amongst the mythological characters of Primavera, Hannibal is a dichotomy. Where does the spirit end, and the material begin? Does he possess humanity? Loyalty? Charity?
Over at Wikipedia, we find that La Primavera "is a tale from the fifth book of Ovid's Fasti" in which the first wind of Spring, Zephyr, abducts the wood nymph Chloris, who is then "transformed into Flora, goddess of flowers," the figure beside her (as one interpretation goes) in the painting. The figure in the middle is Venus, who "presides over the garden - an orange grove (a Medici symbol). [...] The Graces accompanying her (and targeted by Cupid) bear jewels in the colors of the Medici family, while Mercury's caduceus keeps the garden safe from threatening clouds." The figure on the far left by the Graces may be Mercury or Mars, according to various interpretations. Furthermore, "in addition to its overt meaning, the painting has been interpreted as an illustration of the ideal of Neoplatonic love popularized among the Medicis and their followers by Marsilio Ficino. The Neoplatonic philosophers saw Venus as ruling over both earthly and divine love and argued that she was the classical equivalent of the Virgin Mary," which may help connect the Christian imagery in the Norman Chapel with the show's simultaneous emphasis on the painting.
There's also symbolism representing the renunciation of carnal desire (Zephyrus on the far right), as the central Grace has turned her back on that side of the painting, "unconcerned by the threat represented to her by Cupid. Her focus is on Mercury, who himself gazes beyond the canvas at what Deimling asserts hung as the companion piece to Primavera: Pallas and the Centaur, in which 'love oriented towards knowledge' (embodied by Pallas Athena) proves triumphant over lust (symbolized by the centaur). It is, on the other hand, possible that, rather than her having renounced carnal love, the intense emotional expression with which she gazes at Mercury is one of dawning love, proleptic of the receipt of Cupid's arrow which appears to be aimed particularly at her; which emotion is being recognised, with an expression at once sympathetic, quizzical and apprehensive, by the sister immediately to her left."
I don't know how closely the show intended us to read into this choice of painting--it originates from an extremely minor plot point for a totally different character in the book Hannibal--but it may be significant that Hannibal and Bedelia, on the lam in Europe, are posing as a married couple. In "Contorno" we find out for sure that there's a carnal aspect there, but Hannibal never, ever shuts up about Will, who seems to occupy a place in his mind and heart that Bedelia, no matter how hard she tries, cannot. I mean, spoilers, but this is a season that ends up with Will, apparently the most oblivious empath on earth, asking her, "Is Hannibal... in love with me?" (And we all screamed "OH MY GOD, WILL" at our TVs.) So the themes of the box set are an exploration of both Renaissance values and Hannibal's own psyche.
So, while Freddie's naturally most interested in Red Dragon (we were both sounding boards the whole way through), I was all up in the Florence theme. I just really enjoy that section of the book/movie, and "Antipasto" was one of my all-time favorite episodes. Because I'm so predictable--I love duochromes and iridescence--I always start with the same suggestion, which is "Can we look at the play of light?" (Even when Kristen was doing Blade Runner, I requested the light of Rachael's cigarette behind her hand.) So I was immediately interested in the city lights from the Florence shots.
As I recall, Kristen actually started off with Bedelia's $11,000 Marchesa gown, omg, as the first concept to play with--a deep blue base with gold "embroidery." And then, once she'd started formulating it, she realized that it looked like fireflies twinkling in the night.
MATERIALIS: "material, worldly" - A deep forest green-blue with strong coppery golden interference shift.
She'd been talking about a number of Renaissance humanist themes, and so this one ended up being Materialis: materialism and the material world. Bedelia struggles against their wealthy facade as "Dr. and Mrs. Fell" to make a deeper connection with Hannibal, but of course, his thoughts always go back to Will.
While fireflies have a partially spiritual meaning in "Secondo" (regarding Mischa and the cochlear garden), their primary symbolism is as a predator consuming snails, which in turn seem to represent Murder Urges themselves (see Chiyoh's last scene with the prisoner). There is a sense of literal, material consumption within that symbolism, which comes to a... head (I'm so sorry) with a firefly-inspired design they ended up not using at the end of "Dolce": if Hannibal can't have Will's mind, he'll take his brain.
SPIRITUS: "soul, spirit" - Deep chestnut with strong golden interference shift.
On to the third one!
HUMANITAS: "humanity, benevolence" - Midtone periwinkle/lilac with a strong coppery rose interference shift.
The color also pulls from Zephyrus abducting Chloris, an image the show returns to several times: a murder tableau reenactment and multiple sketch variations.
And I can't believe it took me until I was drafting the "Contorno" recap to realize it, but Hannibal's fixated on that one detail because of his sister's death. Now, while I cling to "Nothing happened to me. I happened," I do wonder how much humanity Hannibal had before Mischa's death, and how the experience changed that.
1x07: Bedelia to Hannibal: "Maybe it's less of a person suit and more of a human veil." If Humanitas were an all-over/highlight color, a mineral "veil," that would be an interesting quote to pin it to. [This was my original suggestion--the highlighter ended up being Fidelitas, below.] I think we had a complementary idea with Chrysalis as Will looking through that veil. It might also be an interesting place to bring in the "flesh, light and air and color" line to differentiate them, maybe use very subtle but livelier colors from the painting rather than the somewhat eerie tones from the chrysalis scene. In other words, if Chrysalis is Will's veil, what is Hannibal's? The "humanitas" he puts on like a suit. A fancy, fancy suit.
As the description on the Uffizi Gallery site itself says, "What is certain is the humanistic meaning of the work: Venus is the goodwill (the Humanitas), as she distinguishes the material (right) from the spiritual values (left). The Humanitas promotes the ideal of a positive man, confident in his abilities, and sensitive to the needs of others."
LUCIFERUS: "light" - Ethereal and sheer, borealis sparkling pale chartreuse.
I wore it last night (dry, no primer), and the redness of my complexion canceled out most of the yellow-green, leaving a very smooth, evened-out yellowish-cream with a subtle gold sheen (and a ton of sparkle). So the effect will vary with your complexion, whether you use primer, and how heavily you apply it. This is what I tried Spiritus on top of a few hours later; it worked pretty well as a sheer brow highlight.
All together then: here's the four eyeshadows swatched over primer on the back of my hand.
So here's Floridus, "flowering," pulling from the red fabric on the far left and the flowers held by Flora, and Fidelitas, "fidelity," pulling from the same flowers and the pale blue sky, plus a bit of the sheer drapery.
FLORIDUS: "blooming, beautiful" - The perfect neutral red with mauve undertones. Perfectly wearable, with soft lustre.
CARITAS: A softly cool-neutral wearable berry, one coat is a perfect natural tint. May lean warmer or cooler depending on your skin tone.
2) the virtue of charity: "The love that is caritas is distinguished by its origin, being divinely infused into the soul, and by its residing in the will rather than emotions, regardless of what emotions it stirs up. According to Aquinas, charity is an absolute requirement for happiness, which he holds as man's last goal." Furthermore, "charity has two parts: love of God and love of man," but given how Hannibal seems to view himself as God (and Jesus) (and Judas) (and Satan) (look, he's a very complicated cannibal), the idea takes on something of a twist. What is it he says in the finale--"My compassion for you has become very inconvenient"? You could argue that part of the psychological struggle going on is Hannibal's self-regard yielding to his regard for Will (and go back to "Mizumono" for how bitterly he regretted that at the time). By the end of the Florence half-season, Hannibal has turned himself in rather than accept Will's rejection--a strange combination of selfishness and sacrifice.
RENATUS: "rebirth" - For this concept fragrance, we wanted to evoke the olfactory atmosphere one might experience while standing within the painting come to life.
Top notes: Green wood, muscadine, sweet orange, crushed flower stems. Heart: Orange blossom, lily of the valley, dandelion, sweetgrass. Base: White truffles, mahogany, fallen woods.
I'm not sure if there will be extras available; it's possible more might be made if there's interest, I'm hearing.
And so that's the Primavera box set; we're currently working on the Red Dragon box set (you may remember the samples of 666 that I gave out at Dragon Con), which ought to mail out in a couple of weeks. Pre-orders are sold out, but extras will be made available as well, so keep an eye out for that post as well.
>>>either a massive betrayal or an eternal commitment. Probably both.
Oh my goodness, I can't stop looking at Spiritus.
Out of curiosity, do you plan to recap the rest of Season 2 once you've finished Season 3?
I do! In fact I think I mentioned at one point that it'll be extra... something... that the last recap would then be Mizumono, given the way the show keeps circling back to poke at that. I have most of Contorno done; I just ended up running off to livetweet the new Twilight book (!) for two weeks (!!), but THANK GOD I finished that last night.
Awesome! I'm one of the people who came for the recaps but was too chicken to actually watch the show, so I'm delighted you'll be recapping everything.
Heyo, I cannot remember if I made this comment so I am sorry if this is a repeat and its posted somewhere else- I have followed your blog for around three years now, and honestly love your hannibal recaps. Are you going to continue doing them for this year? Because oh my god I need to see your commentary on Crawford fight/ EPISODE 7/ final scene.
I think the last time Cleo responded to a question like this, she said that there's nothing that's gonna make her give up The Project just yet, but there are many RL things including her personal health that might pose as setbacks to her schedule. I think she also said that she's probably going to finish Season 3 first, and then go back to Season 2 to finish Episodes 6~13 so that everything could culminate with "Mizumono" (the events of which keeps getting called back in Season 3).
