I wanted to let you know I finished The Quick in a marathon session today just because I couldn't put it down. It'll probably take me awhile to put my thoughts together about it other than, "Wow! What a writer! I can't wait for her next book!"
Have you seen the reviews on the work's page? They're terrible to say the least. I don't think people gave it a chance once they discovered it was about vampires. Their loss.

I can even get you someone to escort you to the apartment and show you around - a friend of mine lives three blocks away and has keys - we serve as each other's backup. So please plan on it, send me your exact dates, and I'll put you in the building system as a guest while we are away. Happy to serve!

Suz, have you run a Google search under "free pattern knit shawl"? There are hundreds of free patterns on the internet, many of them from the yarn sites themselves such as lionbrand.com, and I'm sure you could find something that fits your parameters.

---another instance (and this is the last reference, I promise) of the Lizzie dictum that people should read my mind without realizing that they're supposed to. You wrote about dreaming on facebook, and I was reading a book about dreams, hence the connection and the offer.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to do another Wolf Hall Tutored Read with me? I've managed to make it through Chapter I once or twice, but once I get to Cromwell's work under Wolsey's employ I just seem to hit a stumbling block. I know the basics of the era, and have started reading Meyer's The Tudors, but I still am having trouble.
Thank you for any help you can give!

Hey, chatterbox. Did you happen to see this thread - http://www.librarything.com/topic/153688 ? Post by a new member, who says, "I was lured to LT for the first time when I was reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. I was pretty sure I knew what "breakbone fever" referred to, but decided to check online, anyway. My search led me to Chatterbox's tutored read of Wolf Hall; I was completely caught up in the thread - and I know it's an old thread, but it was great!
So I checked out the rest of the site and had to join!"
Way to lure 'em in!

Yes, I am planning to attend the b'day party. Any idea what to bring? I don't know her well enough to really understand what she'd like - maybe Jim has an idea.
I'll cope with the allergies, and Jim says he will too, until and unless he begins to react badly. There's always Benedril. And his inhaler. He's game. I'm usually ok if I don't touch a cat and rub my eyes.

hello, I hope that you don´t mind I added your library to the interesting ones I like to keep an eye on- I have come across your reviews a couple of times and agreed, and I think that your library can give me inspiration in times of hesitation. Several of your all time favorites are mine too- such as The uncommon reader and 84 Charing Cross, Arcadia and Daughter of time-also, I see that you are reading the Josephine Tey Mysteries and wonder what you think, I have been thinking about getting them.

mmm, your post on RD's site about 'fiduciary duty' was very helpful. i noticed in re: BP's tax write-off that they could do it b/c they hadn't yet been prosecuted so at that point it came under losses not penalties.
it is good to have better informed and wiser minds than mine providing info as i can easily fall into justifiable paranoia (yeah, i know, apparent contradiction in terms but sometimes 'they' really are out to get ya).
i'd just put Adam Hochschild's Leopold's ghost into my shopping basket at audible.com. then i read more reviews. i'm having so much trouble with say you're one of them that i'm not sure i want to know what he has to say. thoughts?
his wife, Arlie, was on my dissertation committee at Cal many years ago. i've read a number of her books but nothing by him. she's amazing! when i was there, TPTB were in the process of denying her tenure b/c, well, basically, because she wasn't Erving Goffman. she scared the living daylights out of the guys in the soc department. too, too good. i had no idea what a privilege i was experiencing to have a graduate seminar with her. vee grow too zoon old und too late schmardt.

I noted your upcoming DC plans and replied on my thread, but thought it might make more sense to reply here. If you do find yourself with extra time in DC and want to connect, let me know. I think you may have said something a while back about a possible stop at Politics and Prose (always one of my favorite places in the city, though I fear I may have blown through my book quota for the month.)

Thank you for your review of Stories About Storytellers: Publishing Alice Munro, Robertson Davies, Alistair MacLeod, Pierre Trudeau, and Others by Douglas Gibson
ECW Press (2011), Hardcover, 392 pages.
I am reading it right now and enjoying every minute of it. I agree with your statement about picking up some to-be-read titles. I read People of the Deer by Farley Mowat for a book review project in Grade 8 and have read a couple of books since. I want to read more. Barry Broadfoot and Hugh MacLennan are also on my to-be-read list.

Didn't want to take up more space on your thread about this, and I'm sure this whole thing is a major annoyance to you, but I just wanted to note that I appreciate the distinction in the two responses between you and Ms. Macneal/her husband/her friends/etc. You're staying classy and respectful which speaks volumes, while she had a rather nasty, ad hominem comment about you in the comments section of her blog. And that speaks volumes in its own way!

i have yet to review Mr. Churchill's Secretary and now I really don't have to because you said everything that I was thinking when I was reading it! Wait...I just remembered something that drove me nuts and you didn't list. The author describes EVERY single outfit EVERY single character wears Every time the character appears, if only for a moment. (Maggie spots a man across the street sitting at an outdoor table and her eagle eyes recognize that the material in his suit is seersucker. She even describes the clothes the guy who sells her a newspaper is wearing!)

I tend to get overwhelmed with my book collection so I won't upload mine yet. Once I complete the read/certification this week - then it is on. I am interested in the thumping good read the guy at the bookstore recommended when you were there to sign books. I am also coming back to find your 4.5-5 star ratings. Any book I should start with? I am just loving this site, especially now that I am finished with my last big client and I am working exclusively from my home office for the next few months. Lovely to meet you.

btw - sooooo impressed by your rate of reading and by the fact that you are still able to analyse the books so eruditely whilst chewing up so prodigiously! Cornwall really is a fabulous place SHE-WHO-MUST-BE-OBEYED and I spent an idyllic few days there in 1996 before the kids (probably begetting the first if truth be known) and I would love to own a spot there. The photo I put up was from my scouring the housing listings - cut down on my spending on books I may be able to stretch to a deposit!)

Yes, that is good to know, although knowing it wouldn't change my feeling of mistrust for his sense of events which was a reaction to the book itself and not really a comment on his factual knowledge. I certainly wasn't saying that anything was falsified or factually untrue.

I love the MoMA and that's one exhibit I wish I had been in NYC to see. Now that you mention it, I do recall that being the catalogue. I know they have quality standards, but still, how are the paper and printing? Good, Very Good, or Outstanding? Did you get the hardcover of soft?

Hi Suzanne, Below is the PM I rec'd from Jim. The main point is the photo must come through the web. So rather than grab a pic from my downloaded pictures I used one I had already posted on facebook. By clicking on the pic you want click on it again to bring up window and click on properties, copy the url and add to the front of it when you post it to your thread. ie.{img src=" insert url "} Hope that helps you.
"Ah. The picture needs to be somewhere on the web where a server can serve it up someone clicks on it. Unless your pc is acting as a server, which is unlikely to be the case, the LT site can't find it when trying to load the thread. The usual method to get around this is to open a free Flickr account, upload the picture and use that URL. Facebook also works (if you set the privacy restrictions correctly) or any other picture sharing site.Also LT allows users to upload some pictures to their user account. I think that would work as well."
posted by Carmenere at 12:13 pm (EST) on Jan 14, 2011
To post a picture:
Find the picture on the Internet. If it's on your computer, use your "Trash" tray to upload it to LT by accessing upload pictures from your profile. Select "Trash" as your destination.
Whenever you find the image, right click on the image to get the menu that always comes up. Select "Properties." You'll see a "URL" section with a long, long (usually) file name. Be sure to copy the *entire** file name, down to the last ".jpg" or ".gif"!
Back to LT. Open a new message, and type {img src="FILENAME PASTED HERE"}. If the pic is *huge* and you don't want it to me, use {img width=200 src="FILENAME PASTED HERE"}.
When you're typing the lines, use the open- and close-pointies in place of the braces I've used. ">" y'know.

Hey there Suz,
You're just in time. I head out to Bangkok tomorrow morning and I have a meeting at a building just next to Paragon, so I'll definitely have shopping time after my meeting to look for your fabric and scarf. I love those scarves .... I have a few myself, as well as some skirts made from those gold trimmed Thai silks.
I'll be bringing both the Kindle and some dead tree books with me for my trip and this way I won't have to carry quite so many books with me. I still prefer to read bashed tree books over e-books, so as long as I have 2 or 3 with me, I'll have the Kindle in case I finish all 3 before my trip's over.

Hi, Suzanne,
I am rather new to this site so forgive me if I should not have sent you the message--I certainly did not mean to exert any pressure at all, or to be sort of "stalking" you! I was just honored that you added me to your already extensive list of "to-read" books, and wanted to let you know you could find those images if you like. I always like to know what the people I'm reading about look like!
Anyway, happy holidays, and good luck with that list! I'm hoping to read Simon Winchester's newest soon too--he's very good.

Hi Suzanne,
Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed Chasing Goldman Sachs. I've just started following your thread on the 75 Book Challenge and was wondering if there were any other books you'd recommend on the recent financial crisis. (I've read "House of Cards" about Bear Stearns' collapse, "Freefall" by Joseph Stiglitz and "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis.)
Also, do you have any plans to write other books? I hope so.

Hi. Just to let you know I did write a review of CGS for Amazon.co.uk, but I couldn't post it until this week because the book wasn't for sale yet. It's there now. Thanks again for sending me a copy - I enjoyed it and I am mentioning it to my friends, including some banker types.

I can empathize with the smog-induced sore throat. Coming home was a real relief in that regard. Here was the air quality while I was there.
I do miss the food, though. I knew going in it wasn't like the food we get in Chinese restaurants in the States. However, people led me to believe it was worse. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. My hosts there made sure I tried a wide variety of cuisines and, except for one fast-food place, I loved every bit of it.

As dearly as I'd love to let you think the PO is that awful and thus keep this so-far really good book for myself, no, not really. It's here and in fine shape, and I'll returnez-la when I've finished and reviewed it.

Oh Suzanne...the *worst* news...a package arrived from Brooklyn, all tattered and torn, little bits and shreds of paper dingle-dangling here and there...but no book, nope, none, not so much as a page folio, inside it! Some orangey-colored plastic fluttered futilely from the shreds, too.
I just don't *know* what could have happened! I'm positively *sick* with worry!

Very exciting. How are you holding up?
Kindle delivery is usually at 2 am on the morning of the release date, I think. Five and a half hours, roughly speaking.

Hi Suzanne,
I tried looking for the book 'Singapore Hawker Food' by Jimmy Chua but the bookstores don't seem to carry it anymore, which was pretty strange. Maybe they only published a certain number.
However, I did find one titled 'Singapore Food' by Wendy Hutton which has recipes of typical Singapore food, including some familiar hawker center favorites such as Satay, Otak-otak, Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Indian Mutton soup, Hokkien Mee and others. Would you like to have this book instead? I'm supposed to head back out there for a few days in March, so I can get this for you if you'd like and mail it to you when I get back. My mom's got a copy and said the recipes are true to the real food.

I still haven't had time to reply properly to your message the other day, but just had to say that I have spent ... hang on, I think 100 euros ... today on books and 4 of them are your doing!!! Free shipping from Amazon is going to be good, although Book Dep beat them on nearly everything.
I will kill off all comments to my thread soon though because I think 4 of the 6 books were finance-y ones. (Zuckerman, Rogoff & Reinhardt, Cassidy, and the Lords of Finance (not your doing)). Plus the Cello Suites, and something I've forgotten. A very good day and I can pass 2 of them off as presents for Tim.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks so much for the comment you left me. The books all sound like ones which would interest me. I've already ordered a couple (The Crusades through Arab Eyes and Borderland). I'm resiting the urge to buy more, as I'm a pretty slow reader of non fiction, and who know how long it will take for me to get through them!
I'll certainly let you know what I think of them as I go :)

Hi Suzanne,
The book isn't heavy all and neither is it very large. It weighs less than my case of power charges ... it's amazing how quickly these things add up ... charger for phone, camera, laptop, iPod, electric toothbrush. sheesh!
You're really fortunate in having traveled so extensively in SEAsia, and I'm envious that you got to live in Japan for a spell. I would have loved a term in Japan, but I tend to travel there just for a week at a time for work. I did get a posting to Hong Kong where I lived for a couple of years and really loved it. On the whole I'm still fortunate because I get to travel all over the Asia Pacific region for work and have developed some very nice local friends over time. More importantly (for me), I'm introduced to some fantastic eateries by the locals.
I would love to retire to Thailand if I could .... living on Koh Tao for example or Koh Yao Noi over on the Pangna Bay side of Phuket would be idyllic I think.
There is seriously nothing like the food of Asia, in my opinion, in terms of diversity and flavors. My husband loves it here too. In fact, he's coming out to Singapore next week and will be staying here for 3 months for a project he's working on.
I grew up in Singapore before I moved to London in the early 80s and then to Boston in the late 90s.
You're right ... I intend to make full use of my time here to enjoy the gastronomic delights of the island (exceedingly crowded these days ... I'm wondering this island doesn't sink under the weight) and I can work it off shoveling snow when I get back to Boston.

Hi Suzanne,
Here is another biblioholic, also suffering from abibliofobia, i.e. scared of being/going anywhere without a good to read at all times.
I have recently also read a lot about the Enlightenment, Diderot and d'Alembert. Michel Onfray's Les Ultras des Lumieres lead me on to Holbach, Helvetius, Maupertius and others less known. If you read French, I can also really recommend Elisabeth Badinter's Les Passions Intellectuelles. I have also read several books about the famous French Salons, run by quite some interesting ladies.
Take a look at tag "enlightenment" in my library if you are interested.

Hello, Chatterbox. When I added "The Perfect Summer" to my library today, I noticed your name among those who'd read it. For me, it was a helpful introduction to the Parliament Act and other interesting developments of that era. I admit, tho, that the passages on Lady Diana Manners were slow going. But I'll put Nicolson's engrossing bibliography to good use.
I see also that we share "Brat Farrar" (which I'm just beginning), "Mr Calder and Mr Behrens" (which I absolutely loved), and "The Pupil" (which I enjoyed thoroughly and reviewed today). I look forward to browsing your library and to any conversation that may follow.
Happy New Year!

A very short chemistry lesson on how SSRIs work and why they can massacre your sex drive: Higher levels of serotonin in the brain generally lead to enhanced moods. Prozac and its family of drugs increase the level of serotonin by preventing its uptake in receptor nerve cells, thereby assisting brain cells to communicate better with one another. For reasons not completely understood, the rush of serotonin causes in many people an effect that restores confidence, eases anxiety, and improves self-esteem. The downside is that while the serotonin is doing all this great stuff, another chemical in the brain, dopamine -- known to increase sexual desire -- is suppressed.
Alas, the proposition was too good to be true. There is no free lunch. No rights to sexy morning reveries or sweet-dream dalliances that provide a (legally) drug-induced feeling that makes you happy. If you want to be chemically induced confident and serene (or, at least, no longer depressed), you may have to kiss off such sexual luxuries once thought to be absolute generational rights.
As far as physicians can determine, there are four kinds of sexual dysfunction when it comes to SSRIs: loss of sexual desire, difficulty getting aroused (in men, erectile flaccidity; in women, lack of lubrication and similar lack of engorgement), duration of time from arousal to orgasm, and intensity and length of orgasm. Both women and men report about the same incidence of dysfunction when they take SSRIs.
But the incidence of dysfunction while on SSRIs probably is even greater than reported. The underlying problem is that physicians and patients often don't talk about the sexual side effects of antidepressants. Some patients are too embarrassed to 'fess up. Many are so happy that they're not depressed any longer that the dip in their sex lives becomes secondary to their spectacularly upturned mood. It's a price, but one that most SSRI-users happily pay.
Why SSRIs dampen sexual ardor is still under research. Three physicians at the University of G?teborg in Sweden (J. Matuszcyk Vega, K. Larsson, and E. Eriksson) injected a male rat with fluoxetine (the chemical compound of Prozac) and found that the rodent couldn't ejaculate when he frequented a female rat nearby.
Fellows at the department of psychiatry and neurosexology concocted another pioneering study at The Hague's Leyenburg Hospital. While having sex with their partners, volunteers equipped with stopwatches timed how long it took them to ejaculate while on SSRIs. The doctors concluded that the men's ejaculations were dramatically slowed, and in some cases, stopped by the SSRIs. Off the SSRIs, the men performed fine.
For those on SSRIs, don't despair. There are a host of legal drugs and herbs that may help restore your libido and return your orgasms. But as in prescribing SSRIs, it's a hit-and-miss proposition. Some drugs and herbs work to bring back libido; others fail.
Before you mainline yet another dose of a potent herb or drug (which, too, may carry side effects), most psychiatrists suggest one of the following strategies to help stoke your libido. Don't try the following at home until you discuss it with your physician.
If you are able to maintain your composure and return to your sexual equilibrium after trying the above, read no further. If not, some additional gambits: The drug yohimbine has shown to reverse the sexual side effects of SSRIs, says M.J. Gitlin, a psychiatrist at UCLA. Yohimb?, an African bark, is available over the counter; your physician will have to write a prescription for yohimbine, a pharmaceutical agent. It is a non-hormonal drug, in pill form, designed to decrease the outflow of blood from the penile tissue. Yohimb? chewing gum is available in some health food stores.
Some physicians suggest taking a half-tab to one tab (5.4 milligrams each) of the pill an hour or so before the "event." Beware, though, yohimbine can produce insomnia, already a side effect for many people on SSRIs.
The herb ginkgo biloba may also work. Alan Jay Cohen, a psychiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, did a study on ginkgo-tree leaf extracts in which he reported that 86% of patients who took two 60- to 120-milligram capsules twice a day reported substantial improvement in their sexual function, with no side effects. Cohen says that ginkgo biloba restored the blood flow to the genitalia often blocked by the serotonin-enhancing drugs. The popular prescription drug, Viagra, does much of the same.
If all else fails, here's another idea: Three psychiatrists wrote in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that granisetron (a sexual stimulant in rats) works great in men and women, if taken one hour before sex. But the drug, available as Kytril (and labeled for chemotherapy-related nausea control), costs $50 a pill. That means it would have to be a very hot date.

Eugene Delgaudio's lawyer has invented a fact pattern out of whole cloth, apparently trying to imply that Delgaudio's former staff aide, Donna Mateer, had political motivations for going public with her evidence. Through her attorney (also this PAC's Executive Director), she has replied.
Ironically, just before attacking Ms. Mateer, Delgaudio's lawyer said this:
I repeat my previous request for everybody to wait and let Ms. Stamos do her job.
Contradicting his own request, he then goes on to make his accusations, refer to documents he says he has that no one else has ever seen, and then find his client innocent (before any charges have been brought).
Interested members of the public can decide for themselves what they think of lawyers who don't take their own advice. Our own view is that the press was the right place to bring the facts about Mr. Delgaudio to light, but it is the wrong place to hold a trial. We agree that waiting for that to happen in a court of law is the right thing to do.

A recent report from Cisco identifies that video is at the core of government telework. The report, Video at the Core of Government Telework: Overcome Resistance with Face-to-Face Interaction, has some interesting insights to telework and the impact telework can have in government. Cisco also has a great video on telework:
The report quickly provides an overview of telework today in government. Stating, "The definition of telework has expanded from working at home to working anywhere outside headquarters, including remote offices, co-working facilities, or rural healthcare clinics. Work has become what you do, not where you are." This was an interesting observation, as in the federal government there has been a proliferation of devices and employees requesting to access information across multiple platforms.
With more devices, and increasing desires to work at home and remotely, there have been numerous challenges for agencies to implement a teleworking strategy and build related processes. The Cisco report cites five challenges for teleworkers. The findings are from a 2010 study performed by Booz Allen Hamilton and the Partnership for Public Service, the barriers listed were:
The report continues to provide insights to how telepresence can work to avoid the barriers listed above. Cisco reports that telepresence is one strategy that government can use, "Telepresence helps overcome many of the barriers to telework. Enabling employees and managers to interact face-to-face helps to build trust, fosters effective teamwork and collaboration, increases meeting efficiency, and even helps people avoid meeting fatigue."
Building Trust
The report identifies that trust improves when managers have the ability to visually see an employ, and feel as though they could spontaneously sit down with them. The ability to feel like you can just drop into someones office is critical in a workplace - so telepresence is one way to overcome the distance obstacle. "Telepresence helps bridge the trust gap by enabling managers to meet with remote team members as often as necessary, face–to–face. With modern endpoints, initiating automatically turns on video if both endpoints have the capability," stated the Cisco report.
Foster Effective Teamwork and Collaboration
"Telepresence also provides the visual cues that help teleworkers accurately gauge other people's level of agreement or understanding, helping them interact naturally. For example, seeing a remote colleagues raised eyebrow, head shake, or mouth opening to speak, teleworkers can stop to ask what the coworker thinks, contributing to more efficient meetings and better decision making. Conversely, without these visual cues, the teleworker may be perceived as less socially adept."
Increasing Meeting Efficiency
Similar to building trust, meetings are more efficient if people can see a face and are engaging in a face-to-face conversation. The Cisco report indicates that if people are participating in a meeting via telepresence, they are less likely to multi-task and will focus their attention on the meeting.
Avoiding Phone Fatigue
The Cisco report cites, "Anecdotally, some people report they feel more tired after a voice conference than after an in-person meeting of the same length. Researchers speculate that listener fatigue results from people having to work harder to compensate for the lack of visual cues and for the missing audio frequencies in telephone conversations."
The goal of telepresence is to have people feel as though the are sitting in the same room, and make their presence feel as natural as possible.
If you are a teleworker, what strategies have you used to make your presence feel as natural as possible?
I sat down with the DorobekINSIDER's Chris Dorobek to talk more about video telework.
|For more than 25 years, governments around the world have partnered with Cisco to address challenges and achieve strategic objectives. By working closely with government leaders like you, we glean insights that cultivate thought leadership and help us design, execute, and test solutions based on best practices and our partner ecosystem. These ongoing relationships have forged thousands of proven implementations across a variety of public sector organizations, providing continuous innovation in how communities are managed and renewed..

I am pushing for use of both Microsoft Communicator/LINC and web-conferencing using tools like Adobe Connect. Unfortunately, government laptops don't include webcams, and many employees are shy, so us of this technology isn't as pervasive as it should be. Management still is stuck on "face-to-face" meetings and training. It's too bad, because there is significant time savings in travel to/from meetings and is a much more sustainable solution.
Yes! I answered similar over on Chris Cairn's discussion entitled "The Benefits of Commuting to Your 3D Virtual Office" -- I'd definitely like video to more and more permeate the life of teleworkers. As a full-time teleworker for the past 7-8 years, I've very much welcomed the inclusion of video chats as a new tech tool to facilitate face-to-face interaction.
Spent the majority of my time, working for 3 agencies, over 15 years "teleworking"... Would offer that MAYBE the goal of telepresence could/should be "increase the productivity of everyone". Would offer that in some cases video-conferencing could be counter productive. (participants perhaps more worried about their apperances than accomplishing goals)
Wow, that's pretty amazing insight if it's true -- it actually takes more effort to listen during a conference than to visualize & listen. I personally think this is true. I've been teleworking now for nearly 2 years. Not once have I been in the office. I hate conference calls because I feel it wipes my day out -- b/c I'm drained afterwards!
Video definitely helps here when we have someone teleworking. It really doesn't feel that much different than them being in the physical meeting.

As a git user you may be interested in enabling some hooks for your local git repositories. In particular, you may be interested in guaranteeing that the same policies that are being enforced by the remote repositories you push to are enforced earlier when you commit locally, so that you can avoid an onerous round trip to the common repository.
Git::Hooks only need a single script to drive all hooks implemented by yourself or by the plugins you enable. If you do not need to create your own hooks, but want to use just the ones that come with Git::Hooks plugins, you can use a shared script like this for all your local repositories:
#!/usr/bin/env perl use Git::Hooks; run_hook($0, @ARGV);
I save this script as
~/bin/githooks.pl under my $HOME directory. Do not forget to make it executable! If you invoke it directly it should do nothing but to exit normally:
$ ~/bin/githooks.pl $ echo $? 0
Git::Hooks uses the
Git module which is part of the
git installation and not at CPAN yet. So, depending on your environment, your Perl may not find it on its standard library directories. In this case, you'll get an error like this when you try to invoke the script:
$ ~/bin/githooks.pl Can't locate Git.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl/perl5/perlbrew... BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/perl/perl5/perlbrew/.../Git/More.pm line 15. Compilation failed in require at /opt/perl/perl5/perlbrew/.../Git/Hooks.pm line 51. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/perl/perl5/perlbrew/.../Git/Hooks.pm line 51. Compilation failed in require at /home/gustavo/bin/githooks.pl line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/gustavo/bin/githooks.pl line 5.
This is because the
Git.pm module can't be found in my standard @INC, since I'm using a perlbrew installed Perl. If you get the same error, define the environment variable
GITPERLLIB in a BEGIN block before the
use Git::Hooks line in the script. In Debian/Ubuntu the module is installed as </usr/share/perl5/Git.pm> as part of the
git package. So, the script would be this:
#!/usr/bin/env perl BEGIN { $ENV{GITPERLLIB} = '/usr/share/perl5' }; use Git::Hooks; run_hook($0, @ARGV);
Now you simply need to create symbolic links under the
.git/hooks directory of your repositories pointing to the common script. So, for example, if you want to enable some
pre-commit and some
commit-msg hooks, you would do this:
$ cd .../.git/hooks $ ln -s ~/bin/githooks.pl pre-commit $ ln -s ~/bin/githooks.pl commit-msg
However, doing it manually for every repository is cumbersome and prone to mistakes and neglect. Fortunately, there is a better way. In order to make it easy to setup your hooks, it's useful to create a repository template for git to use when you perform a
git init or a
git clone.
In Ubuntu, git's standard repository template resides in
/usr/share/git-core/templates. If you can't find it there, read the
TEMPLATE DIRECTORY section of the
git help init manual to see where is your git's default template directory.
You may customize one for you like this:
$ cp -a /usr/share/git-core/templates ~/.git-templates $ cd ~/.git-templates/hooks $ rm * $ for i in commit-msg post-commit pre-commit pre-rebase > do ln -s ~/bin/githooks.pl $i > done
These commands copy the default template directory to
~/.git-template (you may choose another directory), removes all sample hooks and creates symbolic links to the Git::Hooks driver script which we created above for four hooks:
pre-commit, and
pre-rebase. These are all the hooks I'm interested in locally. Your mileage may vary.
You must tell git to use your repository template instead of its default. The best way to do it is to configure it globally like this:
$ git config --global init.templatedir ~/.git-templates
Now, whenever you
git init or
git clone a new repository, it will automatically be configured to use Git::Hooks.
By default Git::Hooks does nothing. At the least, it must be configured to enable some plugins and configure them to your taste. You should read the plugins's documentation to understand them and decide which ones you would like to enable globally and which ones you would like to enable locally for particular repositories.
Here I show my personal preferences. You are encouraged to make your own variations.
This is what I have in my global git configuration (
[githooks] plugin = CheckLog plugin = CheckRewrite abort-commit = 0 [githooks "checklog"] title-max-width = 62 [githooks "checkjira"] jiraurl = https://jira.cpqd.com.br jirauser = gustavo jirapass = a-very-large-and-difficult-to-crack-password matchlog = (?s)^\\[([^]]+)\\]
The only plugins I want enabled for every repository are
CheckLog and
CheckRewrite. The latter is simple, as it doesn't require any configuration whatsoever. With it I feel more confident to perform
git commit --amend and
git rebase commands knowing that I'm going to be notified in case I'm doing anything dangerous.
CheckLog is also useful to guarantee that I'm not deviating from the common git policies regarding the commit messages. The only thing I change from the defaults is the
title-max-width, because I think 50 characters is very constraining.
I disable the
githooks.abort-commit option so that
pre-commit and
commit-msg hooks don't abort the commit in case of errors. That's because I find it easier to amend the commit than to remember to recover my carefully crafted commit message from the
.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG afterwards.
The section
githooks "checkjira" contains some global configuration for the
CheckJira plugin, which I enable only for some repositories. Since the
CheckJira plugin has to connect to our JIRA server, it needs the server URL and some credentials to authenticate. The
matchlog regex makes JIRA issue keys be looked for only inside a pair of brackets at the beginning of the messages title line.
I enable other plugins for specific repositories, since they depend on the context in which they are developed.
At CPqD we use JIRA and Gerrit internally. So, for my work-related repositories I have this in their
[githooks] plugin = CheckJira plugin = GerritChangeId [githooks "checkjira"] project = CDS
GerritChangeId doesn't require any configuration. It simply inserts a
Change-Id line in the messages of all commits. These are required by Gerrit.
I use
CheckJira to remind me to cite a JIRA issue in every commit message. The
project value makes it accept only issues of the CDS JIRA project for this particular repository.

Of Coffee and Towers1 Reviews
Schuldig and Crawford talk over a tower of coffee cups.
"You've been here for five hours." he said, and Schuldig deliberately ignored him. Brad sighed and folded his hands neatly together on the table. "You're mad at me." he acknowledged.
/Well duh/. Schuldig stuck his finger into the cup to sweep up the congealed sugar and licked it from his finger. Like a well timed clock the waitress came and placed another, his seventh, cup on the table. She left without saying anything, her face eerily blank, and Schuldig tried to feel a little pleasure at the distress she would inevitably feel when her shift ended and she became aware of the missing minutes in her memory. It didn't really work; he couldn't muster more than a vague dissatisfaction. She'd shrug them off anyway, and figure she was probably just having a bad day. No one ever appreciated the finer details of his work.
Brad watched him blow air over the surface of the coffee to cool it in silence for several minutes and Schuldig ignored him harder. Normally Brad was better at playing this particular game, but Schuldig was mad this time. Brad was going to have to apologize.
"You're acting like a child." Brad said, annoyance beginning to color his tone, and Schuldig ignored him. "You hate coffee." He tried and Schuldig ignored him. "Do you want me to say I'm sorry?"
"Yes!" Schuldig exploded. "Say you're fucking sorry."
Brad stared at Schuldig, angry now himself, and stood abruptly. "I'm sorry I thought you were adult enough to cope with having a choice to make." He slammed his hands onto the table, shaking Schuldig's tower precariously, and leaned forward. "I'm sorry I thought you'd appreciate having the freedom to choose. Is that enough? I'm sorry Eszet no longer dictates my every move. I'm sorry I worked so hard to get us all away from them. I'm fucking sorry, all right?"
Well, now Schuldig just felt like shit. He dropped his head to the table and groaned tiredly, waiting until Brad sat back down in the chair before lifting it. "Okay, I'm an asshole."
Brad ignored him. Brad ignored him. Schuldig ground his teeth together. He took a swig of his coffee and stared out of the window. "I'm sorry." He muttered finally, graceless to the last.
Brad sighed, sounding old and worn down and reached over to steal Schuldig's coffee. He sipped and made a face at the taste, but took a few more swallows and Schuldig didn't chuckle, and certainly not out loud. Brad snorted in amusement anyway. "Is it really so terrible," he asked, "being able to choose for yourself?"
Schuldig shrugged. "First my parents, then Rosenkreutz, then Eszet, then you, all my life I've had other people make my choices for me; the important ones at least."
"Do you want me to make this one?"
He looked over at his leader, more recently his friend, and considered the offer carefully. Brad had never done anything that wouldn't lead Schwarz to their eventual freedom. He'd taken their lives as his own and protected them fiercely, and Schuldig smiled at the sudden image of a lioness guarding her cubs. He shook his head, his smile turning wry.
"I have to grow up sometime." he said and Brad's lips twitched.
"You do." he agreed.
Schuldig stuck his tongue out childishly. "Then no, Dad, I'll make a decision. Just give me a bit of time, yeah?"
Crawford tipped his head back and downed the last of the coffee, then carefully placed the cup on its saucer, on top of Schuldig's tower. "One more cup." he said, "after that, it'll fall."
Schuldig watched Brad stand and leave the café. Cryptic last words? He was never really sure with Brad.
He'd have another two cups of coffee anyway.

Pledis Entertainment rumoured to add more After School members
Pledis Entertainment confused fans today after accidentally revealing a new profile page containing their new and upcoming girl group members. A screen cap of After School's profile page contained photos and basic information of After School's current and former members.
Just awhile ago, the screen cap was uploaded online and gained a lot of interest from netizens. Aside from the existing and current members on the said profile page, a folder with the words "Express Top Secret After School New Students SOON!" was also revealed, further catching the attention of the netizens.
According to one fan online, the photo was taken from After School's official new splash page. However, after clicking through some links, they were immediately redirected to the old page with the said announcement already removed.
Sparking the rumors of a possible two new members, fans left comments saying, "The new Students must be Ara and Yoonjo," "I actually see this coming with Bekah's graduation and all," "Hey the more the merrier right," "No more for now please? E-young isn't even known yet," and "As an After School (Fan)(Playgirlz) I'll support them no matter what."
Pledis Entertainment still has not commented about this matter so stay tuned for more updates about After School.

Google search results have undergone a drastic change by displaying results containing a pic of the original author of the web page. We all have heard about domain authority and page authority in the past but, a new wave of trust for your website in the eyes of Google comes in the form of Google Plus Authorship. Recognizing yourself as a reputed author in Google can go a long way in complimenting your Seo efforts. So, what exactly is Google Authorship and how can we use it to enhance our search engine optimization efforts is what we are going to discuss in this article.
I am the Author of this Web Page
The best example I can give you, could be of this web page which you are reading right now. The main contents of this web page has been written by me and I am the author of its contents. We, the users can have an idea of it by looking at the author bio section of the article but, is there a way to help Google recognize your as the author of this web page? The short answer to this question is Google Plus Authorship which helps to link your Google Plus profile to the content you create and allows you to get recognized as an author.
The Distinguished Advantages
The major benefits that you will get by recognizing yourself as an author of the content you create are as follows:-
Related Resources from B2C
» Free Webcast: Know Your Story, Understand Your Customer
More Trust
Content that has an author is valued more when compared with the content that does not have a recognized author. Hence, the first step you must take while helping to rank a web page higher up on Google is signing up for authorship.
Better Management of Your Social Profiles
A Google Plus profile allows you to list all the social media profiles from a single place and passes on valuable relevance and authority to each one of them. This helps to increase the brand value.
Easy Sharing of Content
You can share content on your profile and add valuable plus ones to the shared content. This helps in instant indexation of the content and higher search rankings based on the plus ones that you receive (provided the other ranking factors are in favour of your content)
Boosts Author Rank
Every author is given a secret author rank that is based on the number of articles you write, the quality of articles, the niche of the articles, the number of social shares the article receives and some other factors as well. Better accumulation of author rank helps to gain more web visibility for your content because Google already knows you have sufficient authority in your niche and easily ranks content written by you higher up on the search results.
More People in Your Circles, Better Visibility
The content you share via Google Plus gets better visibility on the search engine result pages as people in your circles are able to see the content shared by you with a caption "you plus one'd this". Hence, having more people in your circles would surely compliment your Seo efforts.
Helps to Increase CTR
Search results having a picture of the author receives more clicks when compared to the results that are not accompanied by pictures. This is more than a hint to an intelligent Seo regarding how can he increase the CTR of the client's website.
Helps to Become a Trusted Source in Your Targeted Niche
It is much easier to become a trusted source in your targeted niche by optimizing your Google Plus profile, writing niche articles on several reputed websites and adding industry specific people in your circles.
All said, it's a search engine optimizers dream to dominate the search engine results for all the keywords they are targeting and utilizing the full power of Google Plus Authorship can go a long way in making this possible.

Delta Air Lines Comes to Facebook
Delta Air Lines Inc. is giving social media users one more thing to "like."
With customers spending a significant portion of their day online, Delta is providing its customers with a new way to connect via Facebook. The Atlanta-based airline is the first airline to use social media to offer flight bookings.
The internet networking site is the most used website by Inflight WiFi users on their flights, according to Delta.
Delta's Ticket Window allows any of Facebook's 500 million users to complete a full travel booking using a dedicated tab at facebook.com/delta without navigating to delta.com. Then, with a simple click, one can share his or her travel plans with selected friends.
Delta plans to expand its Ticket Window to other sites, including online banner ads to allow full booking capabilities within the airline's advertisements.
Ticket Window and Delta's newly designed website homepage are the first indications of its planned transformation in customer-facing technology.
In addition to joining the social media community, the airline has plans in the works to launch a new iPhone application to offer customers the ability to book flights, select their seats, check-in for flights, check flight status, review flight schedules, set a parking reminder, review SkyMiles account balances, track their Medallion status, and in select cities, use eBoarding passes.
The new app's features will streamline customer real-time travel experiences.

Who are we?
The mission of the Bank Street Summer Camp and KiDS College is to foster emotional, physical and ethical growth within campers and kids, by using educational professionals to help them develop their own personalities and individual voices through love of play, creativity and collaboration. Through experiential education, we seek to strengthen not only individuals, but the community as well, and the larger society, in which adults and children, in all their diversity, interact and learn. We see, in both Camp and our weekend programs, the opportunity to educate and build a better society.
We have gone beyond the standards of a traditional camp venue by offering focused groups like Acting Company, Spanish Immersion, Travel, Film, Science and Art. We have also entered into numerous collaborations with major NY museums, including the Liberty Science Center and The Rubin Museum. Our collaboration with the Hunts Point Alliance for Children focuses on increasing literacy through Shakespeare.
Swimming is not a separate program. All campers and staff swim during their designated swim time at the outdoor Skyview pool in Riverdale. Swim time at Camp is divided into both instructional swim and free swim. During instructional swim, counselors and lifeguards work along with the campers to further develop both their comfort and skill in the water. While campers are never made to do anything they do not want to, all campers are required to be in the water. The Lower Camp also goes to Lake Welch located at Harriman State Park once a week.
Session 1: June 16th-27th For Lower Camp we offer childcare for the 16th and 17th.
Session 2: June 30th-August 1st
Session 3: August 4th-8th
Camp is from Monday to Friday 8:30am-3:00pm
Enrichment Classes: 3:00pm-4:30
After Care: 4:30pm-6:00pm
KiDS College
The KiDS College programs on Saturdays are unlike anything else offered in New York, as they combine the pedagogy of Bank Street, the emotional, intellectual and social engagement of Summer Camp and the freedom of the weekend, making an engaging College of classes just for kids.
See below for which program is right for you.
Lower Camp
The Lower Camp consists of 11 groups for children 4-8 years old. Our two and five week programs take place within our air-conditioned classrooms, each equipped with both challenging and enriching materials for developing minds. Our programs are also designed to offer children an opportunity to explore the city and its vast resources, in a safe and relaxed setting. Each group swims three times a week, twice in the Barnard College pool and once at the scenic Lake Welch, where our waterfront staff instructs campers individually and in small groups. Each group is organized by appropriate swim levels and each counselor instructs with an emphasis on safety first. Lake Welch is located in Harriman State Park, 40 minutes north of Manhattan.
Lower Camp Programs are General Camp, Science and Spanish Immersion.
Middle Camp
The Middle Camp consists of 5 groups for children going into second or third grade. Our eight day and five-week programs are designed to offer children an opportunity to explore the city and its vast resources, in a safe and relaxed setting. Within our air-conditioned classrooms each group is equipped with both challenging and enriching materials. Each Middle Camp group has a weekly trip day. See below for a description of each program and a sample schedule.
Each group swims three times a week, twice in the outdoor Skyview pool in Riverdale and once at scenic Lake Welch. Our waterfront staff instructs the children both individually and in small groups, at appropriate swim levels and with an emphasis on safety. Lake Welch is located in Harriman State Park, 40 minutes north of Manhattan.
Upper Camp
The Upper Camp is uniquely designed to meet the needs of middle school children, ages 8-16. Campers choose from a variety of focused programs while also participating in some larger unit activities, like swimming twice a week and community focused field trips. During their semiweekly swim, time is divided between instruction and organized free swim where counselors work with the same campers each time.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to.
I have given a few this week but certainly wont be giving them out daily unless the images really are excellent.
Quote: They just don't seem very special then.
My sentiments exactly.
Limiting it to one award a week makes people think much harder about who they should award it to. I know I can just give away one a week but the overall perception of the award has been reduced [by a factor of 7] for me!!!
I suppose this gets around the (minor?) problem of people running duel or more accounts so they can award friends even more often?
As for the case of "special" eh I wouldn't get all hung up about it to be honest. An award should be special because of the person/organisation handing out the award and the general standard that they set with the awards that they hand out. Shifting it from the once a week to the once a day simply expands the base pool that can possibly be awarded - but its still the awarders choice how often they award.
I mean we could follow through and say that once a week is pretty common (that's 52 awards a year!) lets shift it to once a month - for 12 really special photos only.

You'll Never Guess What's Inside This Easter Candy
I was at the Mediterranean grocery yesterday and spied these colorful little candies that were just right for my Easter table. But they have a surprise inside — can you guess what it is?
Did their shape give it away? These are candy-coated chickpeas! They're crisp and savory inside, and a little chalky.
They have a bit more protein and slightly fewer calories than candy-coated almonds, which makes them a health food. Right? Well, compared to the rest of your Easter basket, perhaps.
I really liked their crispy crunch, although I wished the chickpeas themselves had some salt or other flavoring on them.
Have you ever tried these?
→ Find them: Sugar Coated Chickpeas, $3.99 for 1 pound at Nuts.com

I haven't had these, but I have had candy coated fennel seeds at my local India grocery store... delicious!
These are very popular in Turkey.
Yes, but which market?
Sounds healthy but I think I will go with almonds please. =)
these were a staple candy in my Egyptian household as a kid, but I was never really a fan of the sugared things that were usuaully given as favors at weddings/baby showers/christenings--sort of like a high protein jawbreaker.
I have had them from an Italian grocer in my area. They were not delicious. As someone who joked that I am "70% chickpea" at last night's Satyr, that's a tragedy.
Yes! My Mom used to buy them when I was little. These sugar coated ones and the plain ones. They ARE a bit chalky...but addicting. Every now and then I pick up a bag when I see them...they take me back.
this is funny! Not appetizing, though.
Nice to see these over here! We eat them in Lebanon and they're called e'dameh. Never thought of them as an easter treat though, although after reading this it would really make sense! Love their taste :-)
Ooh! That sounds kinda weird. Much prefer the candy-coated Jordan almonds.
I guessed right! What do I get...?
I tried these and I thought they were OK. I wound up throwing most of the bag away.
