Dog injures Stubbs the cat, the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – For the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, a weekend dogfight was less political, more literal.
Mayor Stubbs the cat is recovering at a veterinarian's office in Wasilla after being injured by a dog Saturday night in the quirky tourist town near Denali National Park.
Owner Lauri Stec tells KTUU (http://is.gd/iA9lcw ) that Stubbs suffered a fractured sternum and a punctured lung, and already has undergone three hours of surgery.
Stec is planning to file a police report. She says the would-be assassin "needs to go away."
Residents didn't like the mayoral candidates years ago, so they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs as a write-in candidate.
Although his position is honorary, Stubbs' popularity is real, earning national stories and subsequent visits from tourists. He normally spends his days at a main street general store.

School of Rock is a rock musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater and a book by Julian Fellowes. Based on the 2003 film of the same name, with a screenplay by Mike White, the musical follows Dewey Finn, an out-of-work rock singer and guitarist who pretends to be a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. After identifying the musical talent in his students, Dewey forms a band of fifth-graders, in an attempt to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands contest.
The musical was announced in December 2014 and opened just under a year later on December 6, 2015. Prior to School of Rock's debut, staged concerts were held at the Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan in June 2015. It made its Broadway debut and world premiere at the Winter Garden Theatre on December 6, 2015 following previews that began on November 9, 2015, with direction by Laurence Connor and choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, and starring Alex Brightman and Sierra Boggess as Dewey Finn and Rosalie Mullins, respectively. The musical made its West End debut at the New London Theatre on November 14, 2016.
The musical is based on the 2003 film School of Rock. That film was produced on a budget of $35 million, earning over $131 million in global box office receipts. The plot followed struggling rock singer and guitarist Dewey Finn, who is kicked out of the band No Vacancy and subsequently disguises himself as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. After witnessing the musical talent in his students, Dewey forms a band of fifth-graders to attempt to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands.
In an April 2013 interview, Andrew Lloyd Webber first revealed that he had purchased the stage rights to Richard Linklater's film, and planned to make its adaptation into a musical his next project after completing the West End show Stephen Ward, centering on the 1963 Profumo affair. The composer stated, "There may be songs for me in it, but it's obviously got songs in it as it stands," and that he would be going from Stephen Ward, "sort of a chamber musical, to a musical about kids playing the guitar." In May 2014, it was revealed that the show was likely to receive its world premiere on Broadway rather than in London's West End due to more relaxed child labour laws in the United States and the fact that the American subject matter fitted Broadway. Webber also credits various locations of the original School of Rock that "...produce the sort of kids required who can actually perform in the show" and that Britain would need similar schools for the show to move to London. Despite this, Lloyd Webber later revealed that he was able to open the subsequent London production several months earlier than anticipated due to finding the child musician actors easily.
On 18 December 2014, an official announcement was made of the musical, with a world premiere on Broadway to be in autumn 2015. This would be the first time since 1971 and Jesus Christ Superstar that a Lloyd Webber musical would premiere on Broadway rather than in the West End. It would also mark a return for the composer to the Winter Garden Theatre, where his Cats ran for 18 years.
Speaking of his vision for the musical, Lloyd Webber suggested that it would focus more on the stories of Dewey's young students than the film did, stating "It has to be a bit more rounded. I'd quite like to know more about the children and their parents." Speaking about the music he explained the need for additional music rather than simply using the film's full soundtrack: "you can't do heavy metal for hours and hours in the theatre – everyone would be screaming. So they have to be theatrical songs too. And we've obviously got to use the iconic songs from the original show. It would be a shame not to do a Stevie Nicks song."
School of Rock was given a book by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. and Laurence Connor was engaged as the initial director. JoAnn M. Hunter provided choreography, set and costume design was by Anna Louizos and lighting by Natasha Katz.
Act One
The musical begins with a performance by the band No Vacancy. The band's guitarist, Dewey Finn, repeatedly attempts to upstage the lead singer ("I'm Too Hot for You") which leads to the band agreeing to kick him out for his antics after Dewey leaves the stage. The next morning, Dewey is awoken in his bedroom by his longtime friend, Ned Schneebly, and Ned's domineering girlfriend, Patty Di Marco. Patty demands rent from Dewey while Ned cowers behind her. After they leave, Dewey goes about his day, getting kicked out of his band and fired from his job at a record store, all while dreaming about getting his break and becoming a superstar ("When I Climb to the Top of Mount Rock.") Afterwards, Dewey receives a call from Rosalie Mullins, principal of the prestigious Horace Green School. She asks to speak to Ned, saying that the school has an open substitute teacher position that will pay over nine hundred dollars a week—enough to meet the rent. Dewey, pretending to be Ned, accepts.
At Horace Green, Rosalie does her best to keep everything running smoothly while greeting parents who come to drop off their children ("Horace Green Alma Mater.") Dewey arrives late both hung over and unprepared for the day, and the principal warns that "Ned" will be expected to meet the school's high standards. ("Here at Horace Green.") Dewey enters his classroom and introduces himself as Mr. Schneebly. His thirteen students are immediately wary of him, and one of them, uptight Summer Hathaway, attempts to explain to him how the classes run, and Dewey is disgusted by the rigid system. With no food to treat his hangover, Dewey spends most of the day sleeping, leaving the students to run wild.
At the apartment, Patty asks Ned to go on a jog with her, but he declines, claiming he has a lot of papers to grade. Understanding, Patty goes. As soon as she's gone, however, Ned pulls out his Guitar Hero console and begins playing. When Dewey comes home, he joins Ned and they discuss various topics such as teaching and their old band ("Variation 7"). After their game, Dewey attempts to convince Ned to rejoin him in their music career, by reminding him of all the perks of being a rockstar ("Children of Rock"). However, Patty arrives and breaks the men's reminiscing session up. Angry at Dewey, Patty reminds him that he's nothing more than a dreamer who will never succeed in the rock business, and gives him an ultimatum: pay the rent in thirty days, or they'll kick him out ("When I Climb to the Top Of Mount Rock (Reprise)").
The next day at school, Dewey argues with another teacher and hears music coming from one of the classrooms. Upon learning that his students are in music class with Rosalie ("Queen of the Night"), he inquires in amazement about what instruments they play. Dewey then tells his students that they're now a part of his new band set to compete in the Battle of the Bands. First, he puts together the instrumentals of his band: Zack on electric guitar, Katie on bass, Lawrence on keyboard, and Freddy on drums. He also makes two of the girls—Shonelle and Marcy—backup singers, and two other girls—Madison and Sophie—roadies. Then he moves onto technical jobs. Mason is put in charge of lights, James is made the security officer, and an ecstatic Billy is made the band's stylist. Summer is angry that she hasn't been given a job and says "groupies are sluts" in response to Dewey's first suggestion. Dewey then makes her the band's manager. The only student left without a job is Tomika, the shy new girl ("You're in the Band"). Confident about their prospects, Dewey hands out famous CDs to the students to listen to as homework ("You're in the Band (Reprise)").
The children go home, and a glimpse is seen into some of their home lives. Freddy tells his father about the music he was assigned to listen to, but his father belittles him, saying that he's not smart like the other children at Horace Green. In another part of town, Billy is reading a Vogue magazine disguised as Sports Illustrated due to pressure from his father to take up football. Elsewhere, Tomika tells her fathers that she's not making friends or doing well in her new school, but her parents dismiss her since they love Horace Green. Finally, Zack attempts to talk to his father about his day, but his father is on a business call and shouts at Zack for trying to speak to him, telling him to go away. Frustrated, Zack, Tomika, Billy, Freddy, and the other students lament that they have so much to tell and offer their parents and the world, but they just won't listen to them yet ("If Only You Would Listen.") Later, Shonelle and Marcy say that they should call the band School of Rock. Dewey loves it, and makes up a song to create the impression that he is prepared ("In the End of Time (A Cappella Version.)")
In the Faculty Lounge, the other teachers complain that the children have become undisciplined under Dewey even though some of this methods are effective ("Faculty Quadrille.") In the classroom, the band continues practicing Dewey's new song ("In the End of Time (Practice Version.)") After playing, Dewey tells everyone they're doing great. However, Zack is playing in an uptight and rigid manner, and Dewey says that Zack needs to get angry at "the man" in order to really rock. He explains that the man is responsible for everything wrong with the world, and Dewey and the kids get angry and shout about how they're going to stick it to the man ("Stick it to the Man.") Due to being stuck in school, Dewey and the kids end up sneaking out of the building in order to make it to the Battle Of The Bands auditions on time. The children and Dewey sadly arrive late at the auditions, With the manager about to leave, Summer convinces him to stay with a lie about a terminal illness and the class is able to compete ("In the End of Time (The Audition.)") They qualify and celebrate their success ("Stick it to the Man (Reprise.)")
Act Two
Thirty-six hours before the Battle of the Bands, the students are hard at work preparing for the event while Dewey attends a faculty conference. The students conclude that the one outstanding issue is the costumes, which Billy has yet to show anybody. He argues that they aren't finished yet, but Summer makes him show them anyway. Billy, using Lawrence as an unwilling model, shows everyone, and they hate them. Billy, annoyed but not disheartened, goes back to the drawing board ("Time to Play.") At the faculty meeting which Rosalie uses to stress the importance of parents' night, Dewey discovers that she is secretly a rocker, and loves Stevie Nicks. Dewey panics when he gets back to the classroom and begins to think of a cover. Tomika summons the courage to speak to him saying that she wants to sing. When Dewey asks why she didn't respond to the call for backup singers, she states that she's a lead singer. Although initially too nervous, Tomika begins to sing when others are not looking and captivates her audience ("Amazing Grace.")
Upon hearing that Rosalie is coming, students quickly cover their instruments with Thanksgiving themed items and Dewey breaks into a fake lesson. When she challenges this, Dewey accuses other teachers of being on crack before admitting that he uses music to teach "boring" subjects. After arguing that there are no boring subjects, Rosalie announces that she'll be sitting in for the rest of Dewey's lesson. Nervous, Dewey pulls out his guitar and improvises a song about math ("Math Is a Wonderful Thing.") Rosalie is unimpressed, but Dewey decides to ask her out to a bar regardless. Later that night, Rosalie and Dewey meet at the bar, and, after having a few drinks, Dewey plays a Stevie Nicks' song on the jukebox, causing Rosalie to let loose and laments about how she feels she's lost her inner music. Stating that Dewey has reminded her about it, she promises that if the parents' meeting goes well the next day, she'll help Dewey and School of Rock go to The Battle of the Bands ("Where Did the Rock Go?") Dewey impulsively kisses Rosalie, and they part ways.
Dewey arrives home just as Patty and Ned are going through the mail. Prompted by the discovery of Dewey's paycheck made out to Ned, Dewey explains his impersonation idea. Ned goes into a panic attack, but Dewey manages to calm him down and make him promise not to tell Patty. The next day, the students go to rehearse their song, but then Zack reveals that he wrote his own song for the band in his free time. Dewey is floored by Zack's talent, and has Zack teach the song to the rest of the band ("School of Rock (Band Practice.)") However, in the middle of the practice, Rosalie unwittingly brings the students' parents into the classroom, and they are appalled by what is going on. Focusing on the talent of each child, Dewey slowly convinces the parents to see the band in a positive light until Patty and Ned burst in. Having extracted the information from Ned, Patty reveals that Dewey is not Ned Schneebly and sends the parents into a rage. In the commotion, Dewey and the children escape to go to The Battle ("Dewey's Confession.")
As Rosalie paces nervously in the halls, she finds Mason and reminds him that Dewey isn't who the students think he is. Mason counters that he is a role-model regardless of his name. Touched by this, Rosalie misleads the parents to buy the children more time. The children use this time to reinvigorate Dewey who has given up on his dream and returned to his room. Led by Tomika, they all explain how much they need him ("If Only You Would Listen (Reprise.)") Patty makes one last attempt to stop them but Ned finally stands up to her and accompanies them to the battle. The band arrives just as No Vacancy is finishing up their performance ("I'm Too Hot For You (Reprise.)") Dewey decides that they should play Zack's song and accepts new costumes from Billy. The parents arrive, but are not allowed backstage by the security guards. As the students go to perform, Zack's father begins shouting at his son, telling him that School of Rock is ridiculous and stupid. Zack, finally having enough, stands up to his father and tells him that the band means more to him than he does, and then Zack goes to play.
They perform Zack's song and the crowd goes wild. Their parents watch on from an empty box seat, and each of them slowly fall in love with the band and how amazing their children are. Each of the instrumental students get a solo, and Tomika sings lead with Dewey as well. By the end, Zack's father is frozen with pride, and has to be pulled away by Summer's mother ("School of Rock (Teacher's Pet.)") After the performance, Rosalie and the band's parents congratulate the group, as well as Ned who has decked out in full heavy metal gear for The Battle. Dewey watches the parents and their kids, and finally feels as though he has accomplished something worthwhile. The winner of the competition is announced as No Vacancy, but Dewey assures everyone that winning didn't really matter, because they did something even more special. Patty then enters with a police officer and tries to get Dewey arrested for fraud, but Rosalie convinces the officer that Mr. Finn is Horace Green's official Band Coach. To please an enthralled crowd, the band plays an encore ("Stick It to the Man (Encore.)") After their song, Dewey and Rosalie kiss again, and Rosalie mixes her classical singing with the heavy rock music of School of Rock, implying that a change is coming to Horace Green and its curriculum because of the band and Dewey ("Finale.")
The Adults
Dewey Finn: The protagonist, Dewey is a struggling rockstar who is kicked out of his band, No Vacancy, at the beginning of the show. In need of money, he impersonates Ned Schneebly and gets a substitute teacher job at the Horace Green School, where he founds the band School of Rock with the students, who are musical prodigies. Dewey is usually wild, desperate, naive, dull-witted, and somewhat more childish than his students.
Rosalie Mullins: Rosalie is the principal of Horace Green, and is very uptight and traditional at school. However, she feels an intense amount of pressure from work, which is what causes her to be so high strung. She has a secret love of rock and roll music, and longs to be as carefree as she once was.
Ned Schneebly: Dewey's longtime friend, former bandmate, and current roommate. Ned is very easily manipulated, and tends to let people walk all over him—especially his girlfriend, Patty. He still loves rock and roll music, but is held down by Patty. He is a substitute teacher and is impersonated by Dewey at Horace Green.
Patty Di Marco: Ned's girlfriend. She is very demanding and domineering, and doesn't let Ned make any decisions for himself. She hates Dewey and wants him out of the apartment and out of her and Ned's lives.
The Students
Summer (Manager): Summer is a high-achieving girl who hates nonsense. Initially, she absolutely despises Dewey, but comes to love the band—or, perhaps, the power that comes with it—and is willing to do anything to see it achieve. Summer is one of the brightest students at Horace Green, as shown by the fact that she has significantly more gold stars on the achievement board than any of her peers. Throughout the show, she is convinced that winning the "Battle of the Bands" will look good on her college application.
Tomika (Vocals): Tomika transfers to Horace Green after being accepted off of the waiting list. She is shy and doesn't speak to anyone at school, and feels as though she's not as intelligent as the other students. However, it turns out that she is a highly gifted singer, and becomes the secondary singer in School of Rock, behind only Dewey. She is adopted by two men who are a couple, whereas in the movie she had her two biological parents.
Zack (Guitarist): Zack is the son of an uptight businessman with no time for his children. Because of that, Zack keeps a lot bottled inside and has issues with being too stiff with his guitar playing at first. However, Dewey discovers that Zack is actually a musical prodigy, as shown when Zack writes the band's anthem, Teacher's Pet, after only a month or so of playing rock music.
Lawrence (Keyboardist): Lawrence is an unconfident boy, and is also gluten intolerant. He initially believes that he isn't cool enough to be a part of the band, but Dewey is able to convince him that he's amazing. At the beginning of the show, Lawrence's only friend is Tomika, but he doesn't think she counts because she never talks. He's a very imaginative keyboard player, and talented at improvising.
Freddie (Drummer): Freddie is a rambunctious boy, as shown when he repeatedly slams cymbals together disruptively during music class. He is constantly told he isn't intelligent—by both his own father and Summer—but Freddie and Dewey both think that he's intelligent in a different way, and that Freddie's father just doesn't see that.
Katie (Bassist): Katie is a quiet, serious girl who keeps mostly to herself. She plays the cello at school, but is quick to pick up the bass at Dewey's encouragement. She is stone-faced when she plays, and takes her instrument and the band very seriously, although not as much as Summer takes managing.
Shonelle and Marcy (Backup Vocals): Shonelle and Marcy are quieter girls who tend to blend into the background. They are School of Rock's backup singers, and also talented dancers. Dewey tells their parents that they have the voices of angels. Their film counterparts are Alicia and Marta.
Billy (Stylist): Billy is a flamboyant boy with a love of style and fashion magazines. He is disgusted with Dewey's outfit choices, and how no one else in the band shares his artistic vision, but is confident in his styling choices regardless. Billy comes from a long line of football players, and his father wants him to be one as well, but Billy has absolutely no interest in doing so.
Mason (Tech): Mason is a super-smart, nerdy, tech-savvy boy who designs all the lighting and special effects for the band,School of Rock using his laptop. He's also very forgiving, as he's the first to accept Rosalie when she decides to drop her high-strung act, hugging her and saying "You're the best, Ms. Mullins". In addition, he also appears to have experience with pyrotechnics. His film counterpart is Gordon.
James (Security): James is a gruff and tough boy who becomes the band's security guard. During rehearsals, Dewey has him stand near the door, and if James sees anyone potentially who might blow School of Rock's cover—like Rosalie or one of the teachers—he has the job of alerting the rest of the band so they can hide the instruments. His film counterpart is Frankie.
Sophie and Madison (Roadies): Sophie and Madison are School of Rock's roadies, but, since the band doesn't go on tour, they are essentially backup dancers. Each girl is a talented dancer and they could often be found together, much like Marcy and Shonelle. The roadies usually dance near Freddie and the drum set. Their film counterparts are Eleni and Michelle.

Critical reception
Most reviews of School of Rock were positive. Many focused on the child performers. David Rooney, for The Hollywood Reporter, praised the young rockers, "the show knows full well that its prime asset is the cast of ridiculously talented kids, ranging in age from nine to 13. They supply a joyous blast of defiant analog vitality in a manufactured digital world." David Cote wrote for Time Out: New York, "We expect cute kids in uniform, a spastic Dewey and face-melting riffs—along with heart-tugging family stuff. It worked for the movie, and wow, does it work on Broadway ... For those about to love School of Rock: We salute you." Robert Kahn of WNBC television station in New York concurred, "The story doesn't particularly resonate for me, but I won't soon forget the feel-good vibe radiating off the talented young performers"
According to Rooney, "Boggess is lovely in the show's closest thing to a female lead". Brightman's performance was praised as well, with Cote writing, "the secret weapon and glue holding it all together is an insanely winning, supernova turn by Alex Brightman as Dewey". Matt Windman of AM: New York wrote, "Brightman comes off as a gentler version of Jack Black, though still loud and rambunctious and a genuine class clown". Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune noted, "What matters most — and what makes this show work — is that Brightman clearly has developed, and can show us he has developed, an emotional bond with his band."
Cote noted, "You'd have to have zero sense of humor about pop to not enjoy Webber's jaunty pastiche score, which sneaks elegant melodies in among the boilerplate stadium stompers." But Jones suggested, "the ever-savvy Andrew Lloyd Webber has kept himself and his ditties more in the background". Marilyn Stasio of Variety noted, "Having written songs for alley cats and toy trains, Webber has the ideal sensibility to relate to children whose freakish talents might make them seem a little bit ... peculiar, in a world of average Joes." Kahn stated, though: " I don't imagine most of the big numbers here will enjoy an afterlife; they're inferior to his earlier confections."
School of Rock evoked comparisons with other musicals, with Michael Dale of Broadway World deeming it "The Sound of Music without the Nazis". Rooney suggested that Lloyd Webber was "revisiting his Jesus Christ Superstar rock roots". According to Cote, "School of Rock has absorbed the diverse lessons of Rent, Spring Awakening and Matilda and passes them on to a new generation."
Jack Black himself attended a Sunday performance, and afterwards told the cast backstage, "There were so many times I went, 'I could not have done it that well.' You made me laugh. You made me cry. You made me rock.'"

- Synchronising SVN and Git
- Configuring Jenkins CI to work with Git on Ubuntu
- To check out: Using Git on Windows
- My understanding of SVN and Git
- statgit - generate Git development statistics
- Getting Git to work over SSH in Windows
Things SVN can do that Git can't
- Checkout into a non-empty directory; you have to checkout into a temporary directory, move the .git folder into the non-empty directory, and run a git reset --hard
- Add an empty folder. It's impossible in Git! .keep files everywhere!
- Store passwords on Windows without having to first install some horrible abomination of Cygwin/credential stores/SSH agents, or having to use the GUI client. (Setup SSH for Git and updating Git to use SSH instead of HTTPS)
- Display --help information without opening up a man page or a web document (if using Windows?). The --help flag should only print out a summary of help information to the command line.
- Keep track of resolved conflicts in other branches when merging the same branches together later on (unless rerere is enabled, which it isn't by default).
- Merge any branch into any other branch without later breaking history. In Git you can't ever merge a branch into another branch because this will mess up history, and possibly cause a commit loop in the future.
- SVN can never have a commit loop unless you're really trying hard (and editing metadata manually).
- Have multiple mainlines. In Git you can only ever have one mainline otherwise you risk having commit loops.
- Keep track of which branches a commit has been on. In Git, branches are entirely local to developers, and once they are merged and deleted remotely the history is completely lost (unless a non-fast-forward merge, in which case you'll have a commit stating there was a merge), because the commits are replaced into the target branch. The best case scenario is if you still have the branch in your local repository or the branch has not been deleted remotely yet.
- Do more than one reverse merge from a previous commit, without having to perform an intermediary commit. "revert is not possible because you have unmerged files." You would need to use git revert --no-commit instead.
Things you should never do
- git checkout branch; git merge master
- git push; git rebase
- git merge (always use --no-ff, I don't know why this is even a Git default)
Create a branch:
- git branch (new-branch-name) - create a new branch, does not switch to branch
- git push origin (new-branch-name) - ??
- git checkout (new-branch-name) - switch to branch and update local copy to branch
- git commit -p - commit changes to local Git
- git push --set-upstream origin (new-branch-name) - push local Git changes to remote Git
- git checkout master - switch back to master and update local copy to master
- git pull - download remote Git to local Git
- git checkout master - switch back to master and update local copy to master
- git pull origin master - update local Git from remote Git
- git merge (new-branch-name) - do the merge from the given branch (I don't know what happens with conflicts!)
- git push origin master - push local Git to remote Git
- git checkout (target-branch-name) - switch back to master and update local copy to master
- git pull origin (target-branch-name) - update local Git from remote Git
- git pull origin (source-branch-name) - update local Git from remote Git, merge in branch
- git merge (source-branch-name) - do the merge from the given branch (use git mergetool to handle unresolved conflicts)
- git push --set-upstream origin (target-branch-name) - push local Git to remote Git
- git checkout (target-branch-name)
- git revert HEAD^ - ^ means revert back the last commit on this branch
- git revert HEAD^^ - ^^ means revert back the second-last commit on this branch (Git cares not about the order of commits on a branch, only individual commits with no relationship to each other!)
- git commit && git push - add commit message, push the reverse merge to remote Git
- git merge --abort - revert a merge
- git diff --cached myfile.txt - see the diff of a staged file (i.e. already been resolved)
- git reset --hard - throw away all local changes including any committed, but unpushed, changes
- git checkout myfile.txt - analogous to svn revert myfile.txt
Merging with TortoiseMerge
I really like TortoiseSVN's merge tool, and with a bit of wrangling you can get Git to use it too.
Add the following files to Program Files (x86)/Git/share/git-gui/lib/mergetool.tcl just before the error_popup [mc "Unsupported merge tool '%s'" $tool] block:
tortoisemerge { set cmdline [list TortoiseMerge.exe -base:"$BASE" -mine:"$LOCAL" -theirs:"$REMOTE" -merged:"$MERGED"] }
And then you can run GUI merges using git mergetool -t tortoisemerge.
Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'branch' from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.
~$ git checkout my-branch Switched to branch 'my-branch' Your branch is behind 'origin/my-branch' by 3 commits, and can be fast-forwarded. (use "git pull" to update your local branch) ~$ git pull Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'my-branch' from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.
This is secret Git speak for "your remote branch no longer exists". Try running a git remote prune origin to remove all branches that no longer exist on remote.
Having two remote repositories
git clone https://github.com/original/foo git remote add thirdparty https://github.com/better/foo git push -u thirdparty master git pull -u thirdparty
Getting the Github patch for a commit
Append .patch to the end of the commit URL, e.g. https://github.com/soundasleep/cmis/commit/70303e60d437c1c0ee650bcf820c3a13dd4782d1.patch
Revert a merge before it's pushed
You have to use one of:
- git reset --hard COMMIT_HASH
- git reset --hard HEAD~1 (thanks @charliesome)

I would...but be racing...I looked back at records and we had 119 Show cars pay to attend our Show...that does not include the BOD's cars and those that just wanted to join in the fun...I think the owner of the Arby's counted 135 car cars not including the parts vendors...which you have not addressed...although Buick is a small brand there are a number of vendors that still cater and show up...The BPG can bring a lot to this event...but it is not my decision anymore...You need to contact those involved...I can only do so much...BPG could do 2 events...a car show at your event and their own program...at their own event...

I have told you several times. it is my event. For this year it is what it is. The Olds event inviting Buicks. You can hold a car show in Norwalk of course. We can fight each other and see what happens. However both will get hurt. If you succeed all you will ever have is a car show off the track property and nothing for the race cars. If I succeed there will not only be a great place for a car show but also a place for race cars. I have also said earlier I will expand the event as the car count warrants. Can you do that in Norwalk. All you are doing is your best to sabotage my event so that things don't happen for the Buicks. You could easily support this event so that all works out for the best. You could have your show somewhere else on another weekend. Weren't you one of the ones saying due to the fact the BCOA Nationals being the next week you would be going to Allentown instead of Norwalk. Now you want to have a car show the same weekend in the same town. So much crap. So a car show is ok but a race can't be made by racers. We can do it any way you want. I feel the Buick's can see thru your selfishness and crap and attempt to ruin a possible great event.
Maybe I missed something , but Dick is being drug thru the coals for inviting Buicks to his event to which he's not holding a gun to anyone's head to attend just a simple invitation to go pick on some Oldsmobubbles?? I don't care about the show mess myself I use my car not look at it and wipe it down every 10mins

So Buick people! Do you feel you can get 100 or more racers to challenge the Olds people? We all now have a few colder months to get our cars read for 2016 racing. Lets see what you Buick people can bring to Norwalk!
I plan to be there with something even if it's only a smile.

1979 Nova soon to be BBB 4-speed Drag Radial street rod
1972 GMC 396, auto
1966 Skylark 340 4bbl daily driver. Soon to be BBB EFI daily driver.
don't know if this is the right place but Dragway 42 has been building a new facility supposed to be awesome never beem there myself don't know exactly where it is but supposed to open this summer bet they would be happy to our clubs business
OK, I've waited for this thread to get civil before I put my 2 cents worth here. I'm going to reserve comment on the Bader's business model because it is my home track and want to still enjoy my Wednesday nights there. That being said, I'm glad most everyone has realized that Mr. Miller's invite is the best we are going to get this year. If you don't want to attend that's fine; it will probably rain anyway :( After what Summit did to our event I'm sure the Olds guys are just as concerned it seems they don't bring in much of a crowd either. So I believe the attempt to have us join them is maybe a bit self serving to boost attendance for his event so they don't get the axe but its just business and a day of racing without having to deal with Mustangs and LS swapped Chevys will be nice. I'd rather have a Buick/Olds event then see both marques go down in flames. I may be wrong but I think as we and are cars get older there seems to be less interest in racing and more in restoration based on the size of the Buick show fields I've seen lately. As for Dragway 42 I wouldn't hold my breath. If you follow them on the web the whole thing has been a big hot mess.
don't follow just an idea to hang out with other buicks will attend the olds invite either way

June Allyson died Sunday. In 2001, she gave an interview on Larry King Live in which she said her name was originally Ella Van Geisman, a Dutch name. Others have decided, for no apparent reason, that she was Jewish.
The 1920 New York census lists her as Ella, daughter of Anna and Robert Geisman, a chemist. Her parents were married in 1914 at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in the Bronx by the pastor, William Junge. Her grandfather, Henry Geismann, was born in 1864 in Ahsen, then part of Prussia, and christened in the same Catholic church where his parents were married. So again, it appears that the Dutch are really Deutsch.
On her mother's side, Allyson's grandmother's ancestors were from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Her maternal grandfather was named James Provost. He may have been a descendant of the early settlers of New Amsterdam, which would make him -- and June Allyson -- Dutch.

Hi, Karen Irene! You ask a good question. I enjoy reading comments from passers-by.
I have left only a few comments on other genealogy blogs, though I read and enjoy several regularly.
Must be that genealogists are different from other people out there in the blog-world.

Just because harmonics is becoming a more prevalent problem, that doesn't mean the subject is getting any easier to understand
Harmonics are AC voltages and currents with frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. On a 60-Hz system, this could include 2nd order harmonics (120 Hz), 3rd order harmonics (180 Hz), 4th order harmonics (240 Hz), and so on. Normally, only odd-order harmonics (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th) occur on a 3-phase power system. If you observe even-order harmonics on a 3-phase system, you more than likely have a defective rectifier in your system.
If you connect an oscilloscope to a 120V receptacle, the image on the screen usually isn't a perfect sine wave. It may be very close, but it will likely be different in one of several ways. It might be slightly flattened or dimpled as the magnitude approaches its positive and negative maximum values (Fig. 1). Or perhaps the sine wave is narrowed near the extreme values, giving the waveform a peaky appearance (Fig. 2 below). More than likely, random deviations from the perfect sinusoid occur at specific locations on the sine wave during every cycle (Fig. 3 below).
The flattened and dimpled sinusoid in Fig. 1 has the mathematical equation, y=sin (x)+0.25 sin (3x). This means a 60-Hz sinusoid (the fundamental frequency) added to a second sinusoid with a frequency three times greater than the fundamental (180 Hz) and an amplitude ¼ (0.25 times) of the fundamental frequency produces a waveform similar to the first part of Fig. 1. The 180-Hz sinusoid is called the third harmonic, since its frequency is three times that of the fundamental frequency.
Similarly, the peaky sinusoid in Fig. 2 has the mathematical equation, y=sin (x) -0.25 sin (3x). This waveform has the same composition as the first waveform, except the third harmonic component is out of phase with the fundamental frequency, as indicated by the negative sign preceding the "0.25 sin (3x)" term. This subtle mathematical difference produces a very different appearance in the waveform.
The waveform in Fig. 3 contains several other harmonics in addition to the third harmonic. Some are in phase with the fundamental frequency and others out of phase. As the harmonic spectrum becomes richer in harmonics, the waveform takes on a more complex appearance, indicating more deviation from the ideal sinusoid. A rich harmonic spectrum may completely obscure the fundamental frequency sinusoid, making a sine wave unrecognizable.
Analyzing harmonics. When the magnitudes and orders of harmonics are known, reconstructing the distorted waveform is simple. Adding the harmonics together, point by point, produces the distorted waveform. The waveform in Fig. 1 is synthesized in Fig. 4 by adding the magnitudes of the two components, the fundamental frequency (red waveform) and the third harmonic (blue waveform), for each value of x, which results in the green waveform.
Decomposing a distorted waveform into its harmonic components is considerably more difficult. This process requires Fourier analysis, which involves a fair amount of calculus. However, electronic equipment has been developed to perform this analysis on a real-time basis. One manufacturer offers a 3-phase power analyzer that can digitally capture 3-phase waveforms and perform a host of analysis functions, including Fourier analysis, to determine harmonic content. Another manufacturer offers similar capabilities for single-phase applications. Easy-to-use analyzers like these can help detect and diagnose harmonic-related problems on most power systems.What causes harmonics? If harmonic voltages aren't generated intentionally, where do they come from? One common source of harmonics is iron core devices like transformers. The magnetic characteristics of iron are almost linear over a certain range of flux density, but quickly saturate as the flux density increases. This nonlinear magnetic characteristic is described by a hysteresis curve. Because of the nonlinear hysteresis curve, the excitation current waveform isn't sinusoidal. A Fourier analysis of the excitation current waveform reveals a significant third harmonic component, making it similar to the waveform shown in Fig. 2.
Core iron isn't the only source of harmonics. Generators themselves produce some 5th harmonic voltages due to magnetic flux distortions that occur near the stator slots and nonsinusoidal flux distribution across the air gap. Other producers of harmonics include nonlinear loads like rectifiers, inverters, adjustable-speed motor drives, welders, arc furnaces, voltage controllers, and frequency converters.
Semiconductor switching devices produce significant harmonic voltages as they abruptly chop voltage waveforms during their transition between conducting and cutoff states. Inverter circuits are notorious for producing harmonics, and are in widespread use today. An adjustable-speed motor drive is one application that makes use of inverter circuits, often using pulse width modulation (PWM) synthesis to produce the AC output voltage. Various synthesis methods produce different harmonic spectra. Regardless of the method used to produce an AC output voltage from a DC input voltage, harmonics will be present on both sides of the inverter and must often be mitigated.Effects of harmonics. Besides distorting the shape of the voltage and current sinusoids, what other effects do harmonics cause? Since harmonic voltages produce harmonic currents with frequencies considerably higher than the power system fundamental frequency, these currents encounter much higher impedances as they propagate through the power system than does the fundamental frequency current. This is due to "skin effect," which is the tendency for higher frequency currents to flow near the surface of the conductor. Since little of the high-frequency current penetrates far beneath the surface of the conductor, less cross-sectional area is used by the current. As the effective cross section of the conductor is reduced, the effective resistance of the conductor is increased. This is expressed in the following equation:
where R is the resistance of the conductor, ρ is the resistivity of the conductor material, L is the length of the conductor, and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor. The higher resistance encountered by the harmonic currents will produce a significant heating of the conductor, since heat produced — or power lost — in a conductor is I2R, where I is the current flowing through the conductor.
This increased heating effect is often noticed in two particular parts of the power system: neutral conductors and transformer windings. Harmonics with orders that are odd multiples of the number three (3rd, 9th, 15th, and so on) are particularly troublesome, since they behave like zero-sequence currents. These harmonics, called triplen harmonics, are additive due to their zero-sequence-like behavior. They flow in the system neutral and circulate in delta-connected transformer windings, generating excessive conductor heating in their wake.Reducing the effects of harmonics. Because of the adverse effect of harmonics on power system components, the IEEE developed standard 519-1992 to define recommended practices for harmonic control. This standard also stipulates the maximum allowable harmonic distortion allowed in the voltage and current waveforms on various types of systems.
Two approaches are available for mitigating the effects of excessive heating due to harmonics, and a combination of the two approaches is often implemented. One strategy is to reduce the magnitude of the harmonic waveforms, usually by filtering. The other method is to use system components that can handle the harmonics more effectively, such as finely stranded conductors and k-factor transformers.
Harmonic filters can be constructed by adding an inductance (L) in series with a power factor correction capacitor (C). The series L-C circuit can be tuned for a frequency close to that of the troublesome harmonic, which is often the 5th. By tuning the filter in this way, you can attenuate the unwanted harmonic.
Filtering isn't the only means of reducing harmonics. The switching angles of an inverter can be preselected to eliminate some harmonics in the output voltage. This can be a very cost-effective means of reducing inverter-produced harmonics.
Since skin effect is responsible for the increased heating caused by harmonic currents, using conductors with larger surface areas will lessen the heating effects. This can be done by using finely stranded conductors, since the effective surface area of the conductor is the sum of the surface area of each strand.
Specially designed transformers called k-factor transformers are also advantageous when harmonic currents are prevalent. They parallel small conductors in their windings to reduce skin effect and incorporate special core designs to reduce the saturation effects at the higher flux frequencies produced by the harmonics.
You should also increase the size of neutral conductors to better accommodate triplen harmonics. Per the FPN in 210.4(A) and 220.22 of the 2002 NEC, "A 3-phase, 4-wire wye-connected power system used to supply power to nonlinear loads may necessitate that the power system design allow for the possibility of high harmonic neutral currents." And per 310.15(B)(4)(c), "On a 4-wire, 3-phase wye circuit where the major portion of the load consists of nonlinear loads, harmonic currents are present on the neutral conductor: the neutral shall therefore be considered a current-carrying conductor." It's important to note that the duct bank ampacity tables in B.310.5 through B.310.7 are designed for a maximum harmonic loading on the neutral conductor of 50% of the phase currents.
Harmonics will undoubtedly continue to become more of a concern as more equipment that produces them is added to electrical systems. But if adequately considered during the initial design of the system, harmonics can be managed and their detrimental effects avoided.

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.
Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat to surrounding organs and nerves. For women facing gynecologic surgery, the period of pain, discomfort and extended time away from normal daily activities that usually follows traditional surgery can understandably cause significant anxiety.
Fortunately, less invasive options are available. Some gynecologic procedures enable surgeons to access the target anatomy using a vaginal approach, which may not require an external incision. But for complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robotic assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the da Vinci® System can operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
Single-Site Hysterectomy with the da Vinci® Surgical System
Short Stay. Small Scar.
Big Difference.
Samaritan Medical Center is the first in the region to offer the da Vinci Single-Site hysterectomy procedure. This "single-site" procedure takes the many benefits of robot-assisted hysterectomy a step further by decreasing the number of incisions from four to one. With just one tiny incision, hidden in the navel, it's what you don't see that is so impressive – it's virtually scarless.
A single incision is much more than a cosmetic improvement for the patient however. Since there are fewer incisions, there is less discomfort and a shorter recovery time. For patients, especially busy women, it means they can resume their normal lives and day-to-day activities more quickly. Most women return home after 24 hours or less and get back to their regular routine after two to three weeks.
Hysterectomy is the second most common surgical procedure for women in the United States. An estimated one-third of all women will have a hysterectomy by age 60, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The procedure is recommended for a number of medical reasons, including abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, cancer and chronic pelvic pain. Many women who require a hysterectomy are candidates for the da Vinci robotic-assisted, Single-Site surgery.

VIDEO: Duncan discusses Finals clash with Heat
SAN ANTONIO – With all the yammering about shared respect and mutual dynasties heading into these 2014 Finals, you might expect to find the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, some night this week, strolling hand in hand along the Riverwalk on a moonlit night.
Veteran Miami forward Udonis Haslem made it clear Wednesday, that ain't happening.
"Just because this series may not be as physical as the Indiana series or may not be as physical as a [past] Chicago series," Haslem said, "does not mean we like these guys any more."
An absence of like might not be the same thing as an active dislike, but it's a reasonable starting point for a potentially long, best-of-seven series that might lend itself to emotions and subplots in ways the 2013 Finals did not. It would take some doing – the Spurs don't typically seek out headlines, the Heat see no one on San Antonio's roster who can play the Lance Stephenson knucklehead/pest role.
But if the series is low in vitriol, it still will be high in competition, both sides' dials cranked hard to the right to take rather than give.
"Sometimes the game is played a little different between the lines," Haslem said. "Sometimes it's more physical. Sometimes it's faster, sometimes it's slower. Doesn't change the mindset. We're in the Finals. We can't afford to be trying to make new friends right now."
Again, not making friends isn't quite the same as butting heads with rivals. Miami has been targeted for four years now, with East opponents such as Chicago, Indiana and Brooklyn eager to topple them and, presumably, everything they stand for. Over time, fueled by hard knocks, strains of resentment and disdain began to show.
Not so with the Spurs, who happen to be catching the Heat in their more-established, less-shortcutting third and fourth postseasons.
"I don't think it's animosity," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "Indiana wants what we have – and you could tell, there was animosity on their part. We didn't give much credence to that, and it wasn't reciprocal. The Spurs are different. They've had serial success over a decade and a half. They want what's out there and we want what's out there. It's not so much they want what we have or we want what they have."
Last year's Finals wasn't exactly gentlemanly, but it didn't deteriorate into barroom tactics. The Spurs set a Finals record for fewest fouls committed in a seven-game series (118). Correspondingly, the Heat shot the fewest free throws in a seven-game series of any Finals team in history (118). Read that again: LeBron James' team shot the fewest free throws in a seven-game series of any Finals team ever .
(The records for the most fouls and free throws? In the 1957 Finals, Boston fouled St. Louis players 221 times, resulting in 341 free throws. Scintillating to watch, no doubt.)
So this one will have to muddle through without bad blood, personal histories or old scores to settle (besides the outcome). Two teams, both driven and fiercely competitive, went at it for seven rounds last June and didn't even merit a technical foul for defensive-three seconds after Game 4.
"I think that's why this series was so great last year: It was about basketball," Battier said. "It wasn't about talk. it wasn't about controversy. It was an awesomely officiated series last year – there were no refereeing controversies. There were no technical fouls, no flagrant fouls. It was about basketball.
"How novel for the NBA Finals to be about basketball. I expect the same sort of respect, and it being about the game, as it should be."

Candidate presented by Mr. Allan H. (Bud) Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball and Distinguished Senior Lecturer in Sports Law and Policy
Henry L. Aaron is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Born in Mobile, Alabama, he grew up in a poor family, picking cotton on a farm. Since his family couldn't afford baseball equipment, he practiced by hitting bottle caps with sticks, and made his own bats and balls out of materials he found on the streets.
At age 18, he helped the Indianapolis Clowns win the 1952 Negro League World Series. The Milwaukee Braves signed him to a Major League Baseball (MLB) contract in 1952, and he began playing in the minor leagues. He was one of the first five African Americans to play in the league. When traveling in the South, Mr. Aaron experienced discrimination and was often separated from his teammates due to Jim Crow laws.
After playing in the minor leagues, Mr. Aaron made his major league debut in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves, beginning a remarkable 23 season career. He made the All-Star team every year from 1955 to 1975, and won three Gold Glove Awards. He won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1957, the same year that the Braves won the World Series. His consistency helped him break many records. He holds the MLB records for the most career runs batted in (2,297) and the most career extra base hits (1,477). He is also in the top five for career hits with 3,771 and runs with 2,174.
As he approached Babe Ruth's home run record of 714, Mr. Aaron was the recipient of death threats and hate mail from people who did not want to see an African American man break Ruth's record. Mr. Aaron received an outpouring of public support in response to the bigotry. On April 8, 1974, Mr. Aaron hit career home run number 715, breaking the record.
The Atlanta Braves traded Mr. Aaron to the Milwaukee Brewers in 1974, and he finished his baseball career in Milwaukee. He hit his 755th and final home run before a home crowd at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1976.
Since his retirement from professional baseball, Mr. Aaron has given back to society for more than 30 years. With his wife Billye, he established the Chasing the Dream Foundation to help children between the ages of nine and 12 realize their dreams as he realized his. The foundation provides grants to children to enable them to pursue advanced study in music, art, writing, dance, and sports.
Among his other charitable endeavors is service on the Board of Governors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center.
He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. Since 1980 he has served in the front office of the Atlanta Braves, with the title of Senior Vice President since 1989.
In 1999 MLB announced the Hank Aaron Award honoring the best overall offensive performer in the American and National Leagues. It has the distinction of being the first award named after a player who is still living.
In 2002 Mr. Aaron received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. His autobiography, If I Had a Hammer, was published in 1990. Statues of Mr. Aaron stand outside the entrances of both Turner Field in Atlanta and Miller Park in Milwaukee. In 2006 a recreational trail connecting Miller Park with Lake Michigan was dedicated as the Hank Aaron State Trail.
Because of his achievements in baseball and as a humanitarian, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Henry L. Aaron for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

In this remarkable and long-overdue interview, Rollie discusses the book he is currently writing, titled Who Do You Say That I Am?—an invitation to reflect upon our own station in life, to see Christ wherever we happen to be, and to acknowledge the fact that our relationship with Christ can appear quite different at different points in our life's journey. Rollie's practice of contemplation, prayer, and self-inquiry has helped him to see Christ everywhere he looks—a Christ in all four quadrants, a Christ for all states of consciousness, a Christ for all stages of development. Christ is everywhere at once, loving us exactly where we are, while inviting us to step beyond ourselves.... (+watch now)

Eleanor Roosevelt once said that "poor minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas"—integral minds, we might add, discuss all three. In the Integral Profiles series, host Jeff Salzman sits down with some of today's most notable thinkers, teachers, and leaders, discussing the many ways they are catalyzing the Integral vision in their lives, in their hearts, and in their work. These men and women are collectively defining the leading edge of evolution in today's world, their thoughts and actions actively influencing the shape and scope of tomorrow's possibilities.
Here Don offers an intimate glimpse into his own life and career. He discusses the current phase of his work: traveling the world and applying Spiral Dynamics to various geo-political "hotspots" all over the planet. He offers his own ideas about healthy models of society, the crucial distinction between stages of consciousness and the contents of those stages, and the importance of preserving many of the early stages of development that are so often seen as primitive and obsolete. He then goes into considerable depth around the specifics of the Palestine-Israel conflict, describing the needs and problems on both sides of the divide, his hands-on involvement with both nations, and the remarkable receptivity with which his work has been met. At a time when tensions in the Middle East can seem so hopelessly combustible, it is encouraging to see Integral seeds being planted in such surprisingly fertile soil, offering us all a much-needed exhale as we wait to see how evolution will continue playing itself out in this difficult region of the world.

New on IntegralLife.com: In this presentation, an integral economic framework is suggested to help differentiate fundamentalist approaches to economics from decidedly more sophisticated economic policies. It is argued that economic policies are often generated in the context of friction between fundamentalist conservative and liberal tendencies. For progress on several issues of economic concern today, the program aims to raise the level of debate to include more sophisticated versions of conservative and liberal approaches.

Look right and scroll down just a bit. Finally managed to update my blogroll.
Don't feel bad if you weren't on there. My wife, a.k.a. Mrs. Bitters, a.k.a. Jennifer Hess, started her site Last Night's Dinner, back in February, and I only just now added her.
Sigh. Blogrolls are just too damn easy to neglect.
I can't guarantee I've added everyone who has linked out to me, and I do want to reciprocate links, so please either comment here or drop me an email.
