Rempel, Aron Dietrich (1903-1981)
Aron Dietrich Rempel: minister, teacher and farmer; born 22 March 1903 to Dietrich and Katharina (Matthies) Rempel, in Mozdok, Caucasus, Russia. Aron was the fifth of seven children. He died 7 September 1981 in Richmond, BC.
After a near-drowning in 1922, he made his peace with God. In the same year he was baptized in the Kuma River, Russia. In 1925 he was forced to enlist in the Red Army, but he was able to serve his tour of duty in the medical corps in a hospital. On the completion of his military duty, he was allowed to immigrate to Canada in 1930, delighted that he was able to join his family again.
Aron was a devoted husband and father. On 13 November 1932 he married Olga Hepting (3 October 1907-31 October 1991), daughter of Heinrich Andreas and Anna (Lechner) Hepting, in the Yarrow Mennonite Brethren (MB) Church. Between 1933 and 1947 nine children were born to Aron and Olga. His family remembers the wise counsel that he often expressed proverbially, as for instance the encouragement to live like honey bees. "When life's circumstances begin to squeeze, allow the honey to drip rather than the stinger to lash out," he advised.
Aron and Olga were intimately involved in the Yarrow MB Church. In May 1939 the church ordained Aron to the ministry. In time he became part of the leadership team, serving as associate with several senior pastors. For a brief time after the death of Pastor Peter P. Neufeldt in 1961, Rempel served as interim senior pastor. He frequently led Bible studies and prayer meetings. For 35 years he taught a teenage boys Sunday school class. When during the 1950s most of the classes switched to English, the students in Rempel's class clamored for him to continue in German rather than lose their beloved teacher.
Aron Rempel was also a fervent promoter of Christian education. He was one of the founders and long-serving board members of the Sharon Mennonite Collegiate, a secondary school established by the Yarrow MB Church, which operated from 1951 to 1969.
Aron Rempel introduced raspberries to Yarrow. During one his business trips to Everett, Washington, he purchased a few raspberry canes for his farm in Yarrow. Although his neighbors felt this was a foolish investment, Rempel persisted and soon was known as Raspberry King of Yarrow. It was by the cultivation of raspberries that the emerging Yarrow community was able to establish a solid economic foundation.

Raptors beat Knicks 100-91 in Bargnani's return to Toronto for preseason game
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points to lead the Raptors to a 100-91 preseason victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night, spoiling Andrea Bargnani's return to Toronto.
Bargnani, who was traded to the Knicks in the offseason for three players and three draft picks, scored 10 points in 22 minutes. There was some booing throughout the game aimed at the 2006 overall No. 1 pick who averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds over seven seasons with the Raptors.
"The fans have the right to do whatever they feel they want to do," the 7-foot Bargnani said after the game. "We had some good years, we had some bad years. The only thing I have to say about the fans in Toronto is that I was lucky to play here for seven years."
Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and eight rebounds for the Knicks (1-1).
The Knicks took a four-point lead into the fourth quarter. After playing his starters throughout the first half, Raptors coach Dwane Casey elected to go with his reserves in the final quarter. Quincy Acy, seeing his first playing time of the preseason for the Raptors (2-1) and fellow second-year player Terrence Ross combined for an 11-0 run as the Raptors took the lead for good.

Mrs. Pilot seemed to always have a way to push me.
When I was asked which teacher from all my years of school has had the most impact on me, I was stuck for a moment or two. I wondered to myself, who has made the most difference in my life? Next, I thought, who will I remember 30 years from now?
I knew right then I could never forget Mrs. Laradon Pilot. She was my band teacher my freshman and sophomore year. I played the clarinet and was in color guard. I remember in eighth grade when the band class went to one of the high-school football games.
I heard her band play and I was intimidated. I thought I would never be able to play like that. Then, I looked over and saw a group of girls in costumes twirling colorful flags around the field. I just had to try out. Cheerleading wasn�t for me, but color guard was.
At tryouts, I remember how much I learned in only a few days and to my advantage, I made it.
Mrs. Pilot seemed to always have a way to push me. She required band practice almost every afternoon until 5 p.m. It was the constant dedication and re-runs that made it stick with me. I never forgot my routines because I had performed them so many times. I caught myself numerous times marking time with my feet in school, at work, in the car, and pretty much anywhere else.
Mrs. Pilot would require constant re-runs until we got it perfect. That was what made the band perfect. My freshman year, we won first place color guard and I was so proud of myself.
Today as I think back on times in band, I wish I were still in it today. I loved color guard. It was my favorite thing to do. Practices weren�t always fun, of course. It was the performances. I loved performing in front of my peers at football games, competitions and the parades.
I will always remember how Mrs. Pilot would sit right in front of us at competitions when we performed. She made me so nervous, but I feel like she made me better this way. I hated the fact that I had to quit band for the Early College Program.
That is the only thing that I miss about Bessemer City High School, but I knew I had to give it up for my education. What I loved about Mrs. Pilot was that she never settled for less. She knew what the band as a whole was capable of. I don�t think I�ve had a teacher who has pushed me so much. I am pretty good about getting things done on my own without having to be told.
She has taught me that even when you are superior at something, it can always be improved, which is why today I am called an �overachiever� by my peers. I personally don�t believe there is really such a thing as being too good. I always strive for the best.
A lot of students who are not in band do not take it seriously. They do not consider band a sport. In my book, band is more than a sport. Mrs. Pilot would have us running more laps than the sweaty football players. She disciplined us this way. Band was hard work. It did require crawling out of bed pretty early, staying after school, sweating, freezing, and staying all day at competitions for numerous Saturdays in a row. However, I wouldn�t trade these memories for anything.
I loved going to competitions, I didn�t really mind the weather, and I survived the rehearsals. Band was a huge part of my life, and so was Mrs. Pilot. She is a great band teacher and is favorable in my opinion for her constant inspiration, motivation, and dedication to her students� accomplishments. She is the teacher that has had the most impact on my life and will be remembered for years to come.

This is a story.
A new instructor opened a Karate school in a small town. He advertised himself as a "First Degree Black Belt!"
Things went well for a few months. He got many new students as he was the only Karate instructor in town.
One day, he noticed some construction across the street. A new Karate school was opening. The new instructor's sign prominently stated "Second Degree Black Belt!"
Immediately, the first instructor noticed that he had fewer inquiries and new students. He even lost some of his existing students to the new school. This would not do. He called his instructor at the U.S. headquarters of the style he taught and explained the situation. Since the headquarters received a percentage of each student's tuition, it had a vested interest in maintaining and increasing the enrollment. Within a week, the instructor had a brand new 3rd dan certificate and he advertised the fact with great satisfaction.
Not to be outdone, the neighboring instructor called the U.S. headquarters of his style, which had a similar stake in the success of his school. Before the ink had dried on his competitor's signs, he was advertising that he was a "FOURTH DEGREE BLACK BELT!"
No way, said the first instructor. Calls and pleas were made to the international headquarters of the style. The very existence of the style was being challenged. If one town fell, others would too, and soon even the masters themselves would suffer. A board meeting was held and a special resolution was passed. The instructor would be promoted to 5th dan. Since he did not have enough time, experience, and skill, the certificate would be post dated ten years. But the public would not know this. For all they knew, he was a "FIFTH DEGREE BLACK BELT!"
This meant war! The neighboring school took the same action and got the same result, except now he became a "SIXTH DEGREE BLACK BELT AND RENSHI!" The Renshi was a nice touch.
But Kyoshi is better, and that is what the first instructor demanded and received, along with a 7th dan certificate.
Haaa! The neighbor was already taking action. If Kyoshi is good then HANSHI is better, with an 8th dan to go along with it!
Now the first instructor was in a bind. The highest living instructor in his style was an 8th dan. He could not ask for such a rank (well he could, but he knew he could not get it). So.... he switched associations and lateraled into a 9th dan position. It took all his savings, but he got the rank he wanted and constructed a sign covering almost his entire storefront.
The neighbor pondered what to do. How could he compete with a 9th dan? Of course! He left his system and created his own. Now he claimed to be a "10TH DEGREE BLACK BELT, SOKE!" His sign was in neon with moving arms and legs. He had to mortgage his house to pay for the sign and advertising but he knew it would be worth it!
The first instructor was actually impressed with his competitor's boldness, so he did the same thing! He became the "GREAT GRAND MASTER" of his own system, complete with a "10TH DEGREE BLACK BELT!" Actually, his belt was gold, silver, and red (black was simply too plain).
The students in the town were so confused by the black belt war that most lost interest and quit practicing Karate. Instead, they all took up mixed martial arts, where the students typically wear no belts at all.
Both schools quickly closed. The only one who missed them was the owner of the printing shop which had made their many signs, posters, and business cards. He was very sad to see them go!
The End.

"I do not beat around the bush, we told Athletic Bilbao that we are interested in the player and I'm optimistic about his contract. He will play for Juventus from July 1," the 57-year-old told Radio24.
Marotta went on to say the club is always monitoring the transfer market, but claimed that a move for Napoli star Edinson Cavani would be incredibly unlikely.
"We watch the market carefully, if there are possibilities of improving the group will try to catch them. [Cavani] is not only elusive for Juve, but for all the Italian teams," he added.
Juventus currently tops the table of Serie A with a five-point lead over second-placed Napoli.

Huntington Safe Boating Week begins Monday
The first Huntington Safe Boating Week begins Monday, driven by last year's July 4 boating accident that left three Long Island children dead.
With boating season just around the corner, the event will run from May 13-23 and includes free and discount-priced courses, such as the state's safe boating course, a marine radio class and another to focus on onboard emergencies. The goal: to teach people how to be safe on the water.
The event, coinciding with National Safe Boating Week, was organized by the Greater Huntington Council of Yacht & Boating Clubs, in conjunction with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Neptune and Power Squadron and the Town of Huntington.
"The mission is to prevent accidents and to prepare people for accidents that may arise," said Jackie Martin, commodore of the Greater Huntington Council of Yacht & Boating Clubs.
Lisa Gaines, whose 7-year-old daughter, Victoria, died in the July 4 accident in Oyster Bay, was on the steering committee for the event. The other two children who died were cousins Harlie Treanor, 11, of Huntington Station, and David Aureliano, 12, of Kings Park. The three drowned after a boat capsized and sank in Oyster Bay.
"I don't want to ever see another family go through what we have gone through," Gaines, of Huntington Station, said about why she decided to join the committee. After Victoria's death, her family has pushed for boating safety reforms and has campaigned for new legislation.
"It is the most horrific tragedy for a parent, a family, a community to go through," she said. She said it is important for all people, from experienced boaters to the passengers on board, to be educated in boat safety.
"It is in everyone's best interest . . . to know what the rules are," she said.
One step the county has taken toward bolstering boat safety was the passage of a law that requires all boaters to pass a safety course, to take effect in November. The safe boating week event will feature a free three-day course that will fulfill this requirement, and the state requirement as well. It runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Huntington Fire Department on Leverich Place, and participants must attend all three classes.
The event will also feature a free vessel safety check, so boaters can make sure they are complying with all laws, without fear of summonses or fees.
"We want to bring the boating community together," Martin said. "It is kind of a healing experience," she added, alluding to the July 4 accident.
Huntington's senior harbormaster, Harry Acker, said it is important to keep people talking about and training in boating safety.
"Nothing gets people more focused on boating safety than a tragedy," Acker said. But, he added, attention fades as time passes.
"Something like this will keep people focused," he said, "and if it is done in the memory of those poor children, even better."

TAUNTON — A Tremont Street apartment that has garnered a reputation as a heroin crash pad, according to police, was the scene of a disturbance that landed three people behind bars Thursday night.
Joseph Washburn, 36, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct after police say he tried to provoke a fight with officers responding to a disturbance call at the rear apartment of 40 Tremont St.
Another man and a woman were also arrested, both of them on outstanding warrants. They were identified as Julie Freeman, 26, 363 Albany St., and Luis Ruiz, 40, 326 Bedford St.
At least five people are suspected of having overdosed on heroin during the past two weeks in the rear unit of the Tremont Street house — including two reported overdoses in a single day — according to police, who have also responded to disturbance complaints.
Police Chief Edward Walsh said Friday he's been in contact with a potential buyer interested in acquiring the property. Walsh said he would assist the buyer in terms of taking legal steps to evict problem tenants so that the property can be cleaned up.
Police said when they arrived at the house at 9 p.m., they were eventually let into the small, two-bedroom apartment by Ruiz, who they described as breathing heavily and being red in the face.
In addition to Ruiz, who police led outside and frisked for weapons, police say four other men and two women were inside the apartment. Police said they recognized one of them as someone who had overdosed "several times" during the past few weeks.
All of them, cops said, had been consuming alcohol and were uncooperative. They were frisked for weapons and needles, but police did not report finding any contraband.
They all, police added, claimed to be residents of the apartment.
At one point, police said, a car pulled up across the street. Two men got out, both of whom allegedly then walked into the driveway past parked cruisers and approached officers. Both of them, cops said, claimed to also be residents of the apartment.
Police warned them to stay away while they conducted their criminal investigation. One of them allegedly muttered under his breath and left, but Washburn, cops said, refused to leave.
Instead, they said, he became increasingly belligerent, raising his voice and causing a commotion.
Police said Washburn called cops liars, claimed he was "tough," assumed a fighting posture and told them to lock him up for disorderly conduct. Detective Robert Kramer then handcuffed Washburn and placed him in the backseat of a cruiser.
The department has recently pledged to work with city landlords who have problem tenants.
Walsh said it's possible the house at 40 Tremont St. could be subject to a foreclosure short sale, where the selling price is less than what is owed by the current owner.
The house, according to Bristol County Registry of Deeds, has been owned by Stephen P. Kujanpaa of Middleboro since 2004. That year, Kujanpaa took out a mortgage loan for $332,350 with Accelerated Home Lenders Inc. of San Diego — which in 2011 transferred ownership to Deutsche National trust Co., acting as trustee of a trust in Santa Ana, Calif.

Panoramio was given an Honorable Mention for the Web 2.0 Awards in the category of Mapping. We are very pleased for this mention, especially because Panoramio was released just 7 months ago.
The winners of the Mapping category are 1. Wayfaring, 2. Frappr and 3.Housingmaps.
My favourite has always been Frappr. The idea (members of a group says where they are located) makes very much sense and it seems people understand it very well. Just take a look for its ranking at Alexa.
Housingmaps is good mainly because it's really a useful application for a common day task (searching for housing) with very good data from Craigslist.org, not spectacular, but very nice.
However I don't understand the first price for Wayfaring. This application goes one step forward, as Tagzania, Flagr or our Panoramio do. I believe no one of these sites is still mature enough, still a long way to walk. Apart from their own limitations, these sites bring Google Maps to the edge and unfortunately Google Maps interface has some usability issues, that makes its interface difficult to use for some purposes.

Life and business present few real second chances and Minor's emergence handed Brunetti a rare opportunity. No one who came to know Hialeah, even in its decline, was not hopeful that Minor's effort at resuscitation would be successful, but those who know Brunetti were at best skeptical and more often dismissive. "Brunetti," many said, "will never sell Hialeah Park."
Apparently, Brunetti still answers a voice heard by no one else, is content to permit the rotting of Hialeah in the subtropical sun to continue unabated, a grotesque memorial to his stewardship and intransigence. There is nothing to be gained by not selling Hialeah Park to someone dedicated to its restoration and financially capable of bringing what is now almost inconceivable to fruition.
According to reports, Brunetti's asking price was much higher than Minor anticipated. There is no guarantee that there will be a second offer from either party, there is no one in line behind Minor waiting to offer a better deal and the moribund property is not open for development given its place on the national registry of historical places. So, how does this make sense?
Hialeah has a future only if Brunetti agrees to life support and his reluctant position – evidence that he has not mellowed with age -- is a huge disappointment. Brunetti has nothing to lose. He once saw himself as the savior of Hialeah, there when no one else was willing. Now, he has a real chance to save Hialeah but only by letting go – by doing the right thing for the place he claims to cherish. Racing in Florida and the nation has much to gain but the disconnect between Brunetti's thought process and the reality at hand is probably beyond repair.
As long as there is dialogue between Minor and Brunetti there is hope for a beneficial outcome, but those who believe that the long-time owner of Hialeah, which in fact is ownership nowadays of little more than a widely shared memory and a starring role in the death of one of the nation's most gracious, elegant racetracks, will never agree terms of sale are, sadly, probably right. --PM

Here is a recap of the Cubs minor league system from 5/25/12, enjoy.
Peoria jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and that was all they needed as they knocked off Clinton 3-1. Starling Peralta was very good for the Chiefs as he worked four innings only allowing one run on five hits while walking one and striking out two. Zeke DeVoss got things started at the top as he was 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and a run scored. Paul Hoilman continues to hit the ball hard as he went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI, he is now hitting .298 on the season.
Heartbreaking, that's the only way you can describe the D-Cubs loss to Clearwater as they fell 2-1, giving up both runs in the top of the ninth. The blown save spoiled Austin Kirk's outstanding performance on the mound. Kirk, who has been one of the best pitchers in the Cubs organization this year went 8 scoreless innings, only allowing seven hits, walking none, and striking out four, his ERA is now at 2.34 on the season. Micah Gibbs, Rubi Silva, and Dustin Harrington all had three hits at the plate as Daytona finished with one run on nine hits.
The Smokies held Mobile in check all night, but that was almost not good enough as Mobile's comeback came up short giving the Smokies a 4-3 win. Mobile only had two hits on the night, but managed to plate three runs, timely hitting I guess. Eric Jokisch was really good for the Smokies tossing five innings of one hit baseball, he only allowed two runs, walked one, and struck out three. Kevin Rhoderick came on in relief and was lights out, what else is new, his ERA drops to 0.90 on the season. Luis Flores was 2-for-4 at the plate with a double, a home run and an RBI. Jae-Hoon Ha popped his second home run of the season, and James Adduci finished his day 2-for-2, he's now hitting .312 on the year.
Anthony Rizzo did not start so might as well skip this game, I'm kidding of course. Rodrigo Lopez started this game and left after one pitch with a sore groin. Jay Jackson jumped into duty and was terrific going five innings allowing one run on three hits, he walked two, and struck out five. Carlos Marmol got some work in on his way back to the Cubs, he worked one inning, giving up a hit and a walk with a strike out. The I-Cubs only managed five hits, but had just enough to pull out a 2-1 win. Luis Valbuena was 1-for-4 at the plates with a game winning solo home run in the ninth inning.
Thanks for reading,
– George

1st 'RV Industry Power Breakfast' Slated May 9
March 26, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on 1st 'RV Industry Power Breakfast' Slated May 9
A first-ever "RV Industry Power Breakfast" featuring a prestigious slate of local and national speakers is scheduled to bring together key elements of the U.S. recreational vehicle industry with an array of area industry people and civic leaders on the morning of May 9 at the Northern Indiana Event Center and RV/MH Hall of Fame in the RV manufacturing hub of Elkhart, Ind., according to an RVBusiness press release.
The inaugural Power Breakfast, kicking off with a 7 a.m. sunrise buffet and 7:45 a.m. program, is facilitated by Elkhart-based RVBusiness magazine and sponsored by Dicor Corp., Dometic Corp., the Economic Development Corp. of Elkhart County, Forest River Inc., GE Capital, Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA), Spartan Motors Inc. and Thor Industries Inc.
This new event comes at a time when RV builders and suppliers are doing fairly well in terms of national retail sales and wholesale shipments during a post-recessionary era in which about 85% of national shipments are now centered around northern Indiana's Elkhart and LaGrange counties and an array of smaller area communities like Goshen, LaGrange, Middlebury, Bristol, Wakarusa and Nappanee, the release states.
"Officials from these towns are being personally invited to the event, as are representatives of relevant trade associations like the Reston, Va.-based Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), the Fairfax, Va.-based RV Dealers Association (RVDA) and the Recreation Vehicle Indiana Council (RVIC) in Indianapolis," reports BJ Thompson, president of BJ Thompson Associates in Elkhart and chairman of RVIA's Public Relations Committee who is in charge of the inaugural Power Breakfast on behalf of RVBusiness.
"There was, speaking on behalf of the RVB staff, a sense that we could all do a better job at times of working together as a cohesive force here in Elkhart to showcase the power and job-building potential of the U.S. RV industry and, at the same time, bring to Elkhart some of the general and industry-specific intelligence that exists in the current economic climate for area industry people to absorb," stated RVB Publisher Sherm Goldenberg.
Dicor President Gregg Fore and Forest River General Manager Doug Gaeddert, immediate past chairman and current chair of RVIA, respectively, will share emcee duties at the morning event at which there will be a fast-paced slate of speakers, including a short teleconference with U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), if, in fact, the first-term senator is available with Congress in session.
Two anchor presentations are planned: In the first half, RVIA President Richard Coon, RVIA Vice President of Public Relations & Advertising James Ashurst and RVIA Vice President of Administration Mac Bryan will provide an overview of the industry's 2012 status and a quick look at 2013's opportunities and challenges.
In the second half, KOA CEO Jim Rogers, fresh off his January appearance on the CBS hit series "Undercover Boss," will present some in-your-face feedback from campers who annually visit Montana-based KOA's 489 U.S. and Canadian parks.
Tickets for the May 9 event are $25 each with tables of eight available for $175. Look for a notice shortly for online registration.

Bengals WR Chris Henry Has Passed Away
On behalf of all of us here at Lone Star Struck we would like to express our sincerest condolences on the sudden passing of Chris Henry. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris' family and team at this difficult time.
The young wide receiver's tragic death reminds us exactly how fragile life is. Henry leaves behind three young children.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP)—Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died, one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.
Police say Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.
Away from the team because of a broken forearm, Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road. Police say a dispute began at a home about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his fiancee was driving away from the residence.
Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry "came out of the back of the vehicle."
Rest in Peace Chris.

Update: Marc Tracy reports today that YNet and Commentary have severed their relationships with Meotti as a result of his plagiarism. Il Mondi Di Annibale, the Italian foreign policy site, has also taken Meotti to task. What will Meotti's employers at Il Foglio do?
Meotti responds by accusing me of placing his life in danger, or at least causing him to "suffer." But so far, any suffering that Meotti has endured has been self-inflicted. Meotti: "But this is a personal attack against my person and work of ten years, a demonization, a witch hunt against one of the last and few pro-Israel journalists in Europe. An attack in which arrogant and failed journalists didn't hesitate to call me 'hasbarist' and 'zionist' in Arab newspapers. It seems that they don't understand the consequences and the severe risks that an author like me in Europe can suffer because of their incitement."
Italian columnist Giulio Meotti's book, "A Second Shoah," earned abundant praise from a Who's Who of neoconservatism, from Victor Davis Hanson to Norman Podhoretz to John Bolton. George Weigel, the right-wing Catholic intellectual, hailed Meotti as a modern day Truman Capote, while the pro-Israel travel writer Michael Totten described the book, which contends that Israelis are victims of an ongoing Holocaust, as "very moving." "We must be grateful to Giulio Meotti for his magisterial work," wrote self-described Muslim apostate Ibn Warraq in the National Review.
This week, Marc Tracy at Tablet revealed several instances of plagiarism by Meotti, who is a columnist for YNet and the pro-Berlusconi Italian daily Il Foglio. According to Tracy, the plagiarism occurred in a recent piece by Meotti wrote contrasting Israel's supposedly flawless record on gay rights with the record of the barbaric Arabs, who are portrayed through the increasingly popular pro-Israel tactic of pinkwashing as not culturally enlightened enough to enjoy their liberation. In the column, Meotti lifted entire paragraphs from writings by two fellow pro-Israel cadres, Jamie Kirchick and Brett Stephens.
Meotti's penchant for plagiarism was not limited to a single column, however. Google a paragraph at random from any column and you are likely to find that he has lifted much of it, if not the whole thing, from someone else. Here are some examples (thanks to Michael Moynihan for pointing a few of these out):
On April 30, 2012, Meotti authored a column attacking advocates of the BDS campaign as anti-Semites and neo-Nazis. Meotti wrote:
Will the European Union, many of whose prominent members either participated or acquiesced in the destruction of European Jewry 70 years ago, put a stop to this obscurantist conspiracy of the grandchildren of those Max Weinreich called "Hitler's Professors" to expel the Israelites (again) from the family of nations?
On January 3, 2003, Edward Alexander wrote in a column attacking BDS supporters:
More importantly, will the European Union, many of whose prominent members either participated or acquiesced in the destruction of European Jewry 60 years ago, put a stop to the conspiracy of these spiritual descendants of those Max Weinreich famously called "Hitler's Professors," to expel the Jews (once again) from the family of nations?
On May 12, 2012, in a piece assailing Islam as a genocidal religion of violence and hatred, Meotti wrote:
Islam's supersessionary doctrine catalyzes destruction, oppression and hemorrhaging of Christians in eastern lands. While there were moments of laxity in applying this domination, Islam did not recoil from razing churches in ancient Damascus and slaughtering Christians in the Sub-Saharan plateau, inflicting atrocities in Aleppo or Mesopotamia.
Back in April, 2004, Mordechai Nisan wrote a remarkably similar column for the Jerusalem Post. It included the following passage:
Islam's supersessionary religious doctrine catalyzed relentless destruction, oppression, and abuse of Christians in eastern lands. While there were moments of laxity and civility in applying the robust strictures of domination, Islam did not recoil from razing churches in ancient Damascus and slaughtering Christians in Mesopotamia, inflicting atrocities in Aleppo and exterminating Armenians in their homeland.
In an April 1, 2012 column attacking mainline Protestant church efforts to divest from Israeli companies — surprisingly the churches were portrayed as hotbeds of Jew hatred — Meotti wrote:
The Episcopal Church has two million members and 7,200 churches in the US and is part of the 77-million member Anglican Communion. Because of the relative wealth of its members, and its connections to the Church of England throughout the world, the Episcopal Church is in a strategic position to influence attitudes toward Israel on both a national and global scale.
Over five years earlier, in a September 6, 2006 piece for the pro-Israel media monitoring organization CAMERA, Dexter Van Zile wrote:
The Episcopal Church has approximately 2 million members and 7,200 churches in the U.S. and is part of the 77-million member Anglican Communion. Because of its presence in the U.S., the relative wealth of its members, and its connections to Anglicans throughout the world, the Episcopal Church is in a strategic position to influence attitudes toward Israel on both a national and global scale.
In an exceptionally bizarre attempt at hasbara, on May 3, 2012, Meotti asserted Israel's cultural superiority by contrasting its alleged treatment of the handicapped with that of Arab societies. Meotti wrote:
The Weizmann Institute had led to the development of promising new therapies for acute spinal cord injuries. Indeed, the late actor Christopher Reeve described Israel as the "world center" for research.
This passage was lifted straight from a 2007 press release by the US-based Israel advocacy group, Israel 21c. The press release read:
Research by a professor at the Weizmann Institute has led to the development of promising new therapies for acute spinal cord injuries. The late actor Christopher Reeve described Israel as the 'world-center' for research on paralysis treatment.
Meotti is so bereft of originality that he even plagiarizes himself: He pasted a long section from a February 24, 2012 column about how "music can be a platform for anti-Semitism" into a piece he published two months later about anti-Semites in Hollywood working to destroy Israel.
The remarkable thing about Meotti's plagiarism scandal is that it is not being treated as much of a scandal at all. Yedioth Aharanot, the parent company of YNet, has apparently not taken any punitive measures against Meotti. And neither Kirchick nor Stephens expressed any outrage about being plagiarized. Instead, Kirchick dismissed Meotti's stealing as "a form of flattery" and Stephens, who also said he was "flattered," said Meotti's column "makes a point worth repeating." Their startling reactions reflect a neoconservative culture in which the cause of Greater Israel supersedes everything else, from journalistic ethics to intellectual originality.
Because Kirchick, Stephens and Meotti draw their arguments from the same storehouse of recycled Likudnik hasbara, their columns are virtually indistinguishable and completely interchangeable. If any one of them disappeared, some other pro-Israel cadre could step into their shoes without anyone noticing. As Meotti demonstrated, it takes little more than cutting and pasting press releases from Israel advocacy groups to succeed in the world of neoconservatism.

Kids stick all sorts of things up their noses, much to their parents' chagrin. But 6-year-old Isaak Lasson took this childhood rite of passage to a whole new level.
Isaak had suffered from terrible sinus problems for three years, according to KSL.com. Countless trips to the doctor and regular rounds of antibiotics did nothing to help his breathing difficulties. It seemed that no one could figure out the cause of his problems.
Thankfully, this July one doctor took a closer look and noticed that there was something deep inside Isaak's nostril. His parents had no idea what he could have stuffed up there, and the only thing the boy could recall storing in his nose was spaghetti.
PLUS: First Aid for Swallowing Foreign Objects
Eventually, a specialist was able to extract the object. It was not a strand of pasta, but a large, moldy LEGO piece. Yuck! His parents speculate that their son bent the flexible LEGO tire in half and that it later opened up once it made its way into his sinuses.
Isaak's dad, Craig Lasson, felt awful about missing it. "You ask yourself, 'Am I a bad parent because I didn't catch it sooner?' But the doctors just kept prescribing antibiotics," he told KSL.com. "We just didn't know."
PLUS: Study Says Button Batteries Are Responsible for Thousands of Child ER Visits
Now little Isaak is breathing, sleeping, and eating better. His energy level is also up, thanks to the fungus-covered LEGO's exit. Isaak says he thinks the whole thing was pretty cool. We just hope he's learned his lesson.
Has your kid ever stuck anything crazy up their nose? Leave a comment.

The school announced today that it will co-sponsor the event, which translates to greater visibility for both and opportunities for the school's students to be heard by some of the country's biggest literary voices.
A full list of AWP events, such as the April 9 reading by the school's Anne Waldman and Gary Snyder at the Colorado Convention Center, are available on their website.

How to Bust the Top 10 Excuses for Turning Down Sex
Bust those Excuses
There are days when you come home parched after a day's exhaustive work and want to just hit the sack and there are other days when you are as active as a raging bull but your libido isn't up for a steamy night. What do you in such an instance? Put up your best excuse forward and go on auto-pilot. The truth is if you do this often, you will blow your relationship that you are emotionally tied to. Here are the ten no-sex excuses that you fashionably use and how you can bust them.
Image courtesy: Getty ImagesLoading...
I have Pending Work to Complete
If you find yourself reaching out to the laundry basket or computer just when your partner is trying his best to reach out to you, it's time to stop this from becoming a pattern. Clearly, you are trying to avoid your partner and if he fails to realise that today, he will definitely do so tomorrow. Bust this excuse out by doing a reality check: do you really need to complete this task now? Can it not be done at a later time? If your Smartphone grabs your attention more than your partner does, put it out of the room entirely.

The Kids might Walk in or Call for Attention
Most parents do not engage in sex because of a fear of their kids walking in while they are at it. Even though, this excuse may be true initially, it eventually becomes a holdover habit. You could have your friends or relatives to let your kids over for a day or two. You could return the favour when they need it. Remember that your relationship is as important as your kids and teaching them that you and your partner need some private time now and then will teach them about boundaries and their importance early in life.

I am Mad at you and I can't Think of Sex Right Now
You will always find something or the other to be troubling your mind as far as your relationship is concerned. Using anger as your stalling tactic can bring a lot of unwanted damage to your relationship. If you are resentful of even slightly pissed off, just tell your partner what is causing your trouble and set on a resolving mission. Sex can in fact, better things up between you two.

I am Menstruating
He wants to have sex but you cannot because all you are thinking about is curling with a hot water balloon. You may really be having your periods, but if you use it a lot of times as a blanket excuse, you could be building relationship problems with time. If you just cannot think about having sex when you are having periods, let your partner know and he will respect that. But, remember that you do not always have to have sexual intercourse to pat your intimacy levels.

There is No Point of Sex, I Never get an Orgasm Anyway
Your partner may not have experimented with all the moves to help you reach an orgasm, but putting it out openly to him that there is no point to sex for you, is like truncating all the possibilities of enjoying sex. Imagine how you'd feel if he told you that you never did anything to please him. You'd want to know what it is that you can do to make him feel nice. So, do not go silent on him, but tell him.

We have a Haphazard Schedule
It is common in relationships for a woman to wake up to her husband walking in from work in the morning. Mismatched biorhythms are pretty common to happen among couples. But, then who said that sex has to happen at a certain time? You could either meet up for lunch or hit the sack when your partner does and stay up late. Although, this may not seem like much of a long-term solution, it is the best way in which you can preserve intimacy between both of you.

I'm Too Tired for Sex Tonight
If you have a job you have the luxury to present this excuse to snub almost everything that you do not want to do and that includes sex. You sure know that sex will not take a whole night to end and spoil your sleep. In fact, it will help you sleep better. Moreover, if you really can't think about sex, you can just put it across straight without being subject to relationship turbulence.

There is Too Much to See on the Telly
No matter how lame this may seem, entertainment does have more significance than real life, sometimes. Even though staying up a night to watch your favourite reality show when your partner goes to bed is all right, picking fictional characters over your partner can hurt the relationship. Experts suggest that powering down all the electronic equipments at least an hour before getting to bed can make things more favourable for a couple.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
We Already have Enough Sex
We often tend to compare our sex lives with that of somebody else's that we come to know of either in the magazines or on a casual luncheon. What matters is not the number of times that your best friend has sex with her husband but the number of times that you want. An average number could be 12 times a week to even once a year.

I Don't Feel very Nice about Body Right Now
While on one hand, women put their vanity over intimacy, on the other hand, all men think about is that they want you and not whether they have a muffin top on your face or a heavy thigh. If you think that you are fat and losing some pounds would make you feel better about yourself, then go ahead with it. The very thought that you would set forth on your route to a better frame will make you feel better about yourself. You could also get yourself a new lingerie or haircut to feel better.

Your poll shows 100% for the election.
Now is that, like, 3 votes or like, 300?

Doesn't matter what we think anymore. Dion's decided to live or die on a carbon tax and that's that.

Just to prove to everyone how bogus this poll is here is an example:
I'm far for being a Mr.Dion supporter.
I have voted about 40 times for yes,and its only 2:50 pm. Not to worry I'll try my best to get the majority that the pro election people are looking for;)
Personally I hope that the Liberals have guts to stand up and vote,but I guess thats to much to ask.

Dion seems to be wanting to pick a fight with his entire caucus.
Also, take a look at what Turner has to say as well.
Finally, it's going to be an interesting day.

Wow, thank God that right guy posted. And here I was thinking this was the official Ipsos poll on the matter!
Now I have a bit of insight into the mind from which the third grade attacks spring forth. Also have greater understanding of the ease with which conservatives will game any system (otherwise known as lying) to achieve their, um, democratic goals.
Thanks for sharing, right guy.

This is really shameful, if they don't want to bring an election just vote for the bill. Grow a spine either way! I think the highly immigrant populated ridings in places like Brampton and the Toronto suburbs are going to be huge conservative landslides, these people are close to Conservatives on most issues and are looking for an excuse to jump the ship and now their representatives abstaining and not representing the might just give them that excuse. No wonder we are have trouble raising funds, who would want to vote for a party that is too afraid to stand up for anything?!?
Liberals should have brought down the government long ago on Afghanistan or the censorship thing. I'm sorry but the way things are right now the only way to change anything is Liberals losing an election then regrouping under a new leader who can discipline the party and create some excitement among Canadians. Most people are sick of drones like Harper and Dion bring someone fresh in as the leader... this is getting embarrassing.
- 4:22 PM, June 09, 2008
- justin said...
btw I don't think this is an to go into an election on... We need to focus on one thing at a time and right now it seems that the Carbon-tax thing is building momentum among the Liberal rank and file... force an election on that issue. Going into the election on a different issue is just going to be a distraction from the carbon tax policy which seems to me is going to be the cornerstone of the Liberal platform.
- 4:27 PM, June 09, 2008
- burlivespipe said...
I voted yes, but i now think it's more imperative to get our main policy out there one way or another. If we're not going to bring em down, we should produce a counter-negative ad, just mentioning the 'games others play' and shine a light on our ideas. And the team. Let that soak in come October (start of the hockey season), and when the prorogued house returns, split the final hairs then.
But i'm all for now.

Your comment on the latest Nanos poll showing that Dalton is struggling due to the weakening economy.
Still a seven point lead for the Grits with a weak opposition.
About the election, this is something that should have been prepared weeks ago. Having abstained last week, only to change mind would be a signal of poor coordination. I still support the use of delaying tactics in the Semate.

10 minutes to the vote, but we know how this is going. There is no way that they could attempt a coup this summer and quickly hobble a leadership campaign this fall, for a vote at this year's convention in Vancouver? Just a thought off the top of my head;) It would be kinda cool, however politically suicidal if enough Lib MPs said screw it and voted against the gov't tonight, throwing everything into chaos. Just about all the talking heads today were saying it might be the best time to go, also in light of today's Decima poll. I thought the Libs were all about the grassroots now, yet the Leader is pretty much ignorning his entire party. Don Newwan quipped today that he wasn't sure about the strategy and wasn't sure that Dion was the best person to sell the idea. Anyway, its time once again for the Libs to lay down...

Oh well, I guess we can enjoy our sticky sweaty Ontario summer now. Thanks Dion;)
I still like your idea of creating interest through forums or townhalls instead the bbq circuit, along with Rae, Iggy et al as salesman. However, it sounds like Dion is going on the travelling road show, which will accomplish just about nothing. Yet, dont worry Dion's got a plan:p
In addition, the strategists have already bungled the implementation, by leaking the plan weeks ahead of schedule, except with some vague details. Therefore, allowing the Cons to define the plan even before Dion got a chance to introduce it.
It's not the the Cons are master strategists, I think the Libs strategists are quite dumb.

Word is, the plan will be released next week.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TallNThin from Lovely Maxi I love maxi dresses, and this one is especially perfect now that fall is here since the material is a little thicker but still breathable. I'm 5'9" and got the size S. It fits perfectly aside from the fact that the dress tends to pull down in the front the longer I wear it, exposing my bra, but that could be because I'm smaller chested. Otherwise, I highly recommend this dress!

Rated 5 out of 5 by spyhunter52 from Very flattering dress This is a very flattering dress that makes you look taller and skinnier! I'm 5'3" 115 lbs and I'm usually in between XXS and XS. Ordered the XS since XXS wasn't available and it fits perfect! The length is definitely shorter, but at 5'3" I still found it too long with flats, it was dragging on the ground a couple inches. I mainly wanted to wear it with flats, so this was disappointing considering that I don't think it can be tailored to the same finish since the hem is knit and not sewn like a regular hem. I also tried it with 5" wedges (which is all I have) and then it was too short. Half the shoe was showing which I don't like. I might have to get some 3 or 4" wedges to get the exact look I want. It's a knit dress but I don't feel that it is overly heavy especially now that we are moving into fall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by thehuntclub from Beautiful Dress This dress is super sexy and great quality. The length of the small is great for my height of 5'5". It's also nicely lined so there is no need for a slip. I can't wait to wear this dress out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tlee from Love this dress! I got this dress in black and white, and loved it! I am 5'4, and this is the only maxi I've tried from bebe that wasn't at least 5-6 inches too long. The material is double layered and fairly thick, which is the only thing I would change about this dress - it would be nice if it was a little bit thinner, as it can get pretty warm over the summer in this dress. Also, it looks like the fabric could easily pull on things. love how the stripes work to enhance your silhouette. I am 5'4, 120lbs and a 34A, and the XS fit perfectly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Toy81 from Ugh!! This dress is awful the only piece I've brought from bebe and did not like, the material to me is to thick for a maxi I immediately return it to the store for a refund.
Date published: 2013-07-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ella709 from Perfect for the Summer! The dress is an amazing summer maxi. The fabric is just right for a hot day or cool summer evening. The sizing is accurate.
Date published: 2013-07-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rayluv from Lovely dress! This is an adorable dress! However, I'm only 5'1 so I have to get the dress hemmed. Otherwise, it fits great! Purchased in an XS. It's comfortable, a great girly color & is beautiful!

India batsmen 'not an embarrassment' - Sehwag
Virender Sehwag has called for more patience from India's batsmen, which they can learn from their England counterparts, but he knows it can only help them in the upcoming matches. About this Test, he merely stated he wasn't an atheist. "We have to work hard in the next game," he said. "We are still fighting. Hopefully something happens tomorrow and we can save the match, but I… only god can help us."
In his press conference, Sehwag said at least three times that the batsmen lacked patience. Asked if it was embarrassing that a No. 8, R Ashwin, made batting look easier than the specialist batsmen, Sehwag said: "It's not embarrassment. He is also part of our team. He is a good player. He knows how to score runs and how to survive. Depends on an individual to individual. My batting style is different, and others are different, and Ashwin's is different. If you apply yourself on that wicket, it's not difficult to score runs.
"It's Test cricket, and if you show some patience, you can score some runs on this wicket. Key was patience."
When asked how the England bowlers managed to make the pitch look more threatening, Sehwag chose to focus on the batsmen. "Their batsmen showed patience more than ours," he said. "Their batsmen batted really well. Full credit to the way Cook batted and everyone else batted. Our bowlers did everything, they tried everything. They bowled slow, they bowled quick, they bowled flighted, they bowled flat, but England batted really well, I can say that.
"We tried everything. When we were bowling, the ball started reversing after 10 overs. They played well also. They showed patience. They waited for loose balls, they hit those loose balls. We didn't show enough patience."
Sehwag said the youngsters in the middle order needed time before being judged. "When [Cheteshwar] Pujara scored runs, double hundred and hundred, you guys only said we have found a replacement for Rahul Dravid," he said. "You didn't wait for a couple of matches. Now you are saying that because Rahul Dravid and [VVS] Laxman are not there we are losing. It is a transition period for us, you have to give time to the youngsters.
"We will bounce back, we will score runs. In this series we haven't put runs on the board, especially in the last two games. The moment we put up the runs, 500-plus, it's a different ball game."
Asked if he would consider moving down the order to lend experience to the middle order, Sehwag said it was not about experience. "Yuvraj Singh has played 40 Tests, Virat Kohli has played 13," he said. "He has been playing international cricket for two, three years. He got that ICC cricketer of the year and the BCCI award. He is mature enough. It's not about new and young."
Sehwag might have been struggling outside Asia but he looks every bit a dangerous player on pitches lacking bounce and lateral movement. Once again he got India off to a good start, but his wicket led to a big collapse. Asked if he felt India relied too much in him, Sehwag said, "Our team is very good team. We have six batsmen who are capable of scoring hundreds and double hundreds. It's not that they are depending on me. It's a team game."

PrimeBase XT (PBXT) is a transactional storage engine for MySQL which can be loaded dynamically by the pluggable storage engine API of MySQL 5.1. It has been designed for modern, web-based, high concurrency environments. Full MVCC (multi-version concurrency control) support and a unique "write-once" strategy make PBXT particularly effective under heavy update loads.
Friday, February 26, 2010
Embedded PBXT is Cool
The interesting thing about this project is that it exposes the "raw" power of the engine. Some basic performance tests show this really is the case.
At the lowest level, PBXT does not impose any format on the data stored in tables and indexes. When running as a MySQL storage engine it uses the MySQL native row and index formats. Theoretically it would be possible to expose this in an embedded API. The work Martin is doing goes in at this level. The wrapper around the engine determines the data types, data sizes, row and index format. Comparison operations for the data types are also supplied by the embedded code or user program.
This flexibility will make it possible for an application to store its own data very efficiently. As Martin suggested, it would also be possible to use Google's protobuf's for the row format. This would eliminate the need to use an ALTER TABLE for many types of changes to a table's definition!
Of course, EPBXT is still a way from realizing this vision, and Martin has some very specific problems he wants to solve with the development. However, judging by his command of the code within such a short time, this is going to be a project to watch in the future!

PBXT is cool too.
- Mikiya Okuno said...
What will be the license for EPBXT? As it will be your own work, you can choose any license whichever you like. You can take off from GPLv2.
I expect it would be GPLv3 though :)
- Martin Scholl said...
And it features a sane design as well as a phantastic performance with SSDs.
- Paul McCullagh said...
Hi Mikiya,
Currently both PBXT and EPBXT are GPLv2. If anything, the license will become less restrictive (or should I say simpler) than more in the future. So BSD is more likely than GPLv3.

Keuschnigg, Christian; Nielsen, Søren Bo (København, 2003)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this paper we set up a model of start-up finance under double moral hazard. Entrepreneurs lack own resources and business experience to develop their ideas. Venture capitalists can provide start-up finance and commercial support. The effort put forth by either agent contributes to the firm's success, but is not verifiable. As a result, the market equilibrium is biased towards inefficiently low venture capital support. The capital gains tax becomes especially harmful, as it further impairs advice and causes a first-order welfare loss. Once the capital gains tax is in place, limitations on loss off-set may paradoxically contribute to higher quality of venture capital finance and welfare. Subsidies to physical investment in VC-backed startups are detrimental in our framework. Keywords: Venture capital, capital gains taxation, double moral hazard.

Note: It may make the most sense NOT to check out these plugins from these repositories to work on them, but to check them out as submodules of the individual apps (kmaps, mms, or places) instead. See the instructions for "Working with an Existing Repository" below.
Importation of a New Project
- If you are merging a local project with the Rails apps or adding it as a new app altogether, follow the instructions for Importing a New Rails Project.
- If you are starting from scratch and just want to modify existing THL Rails apps, or have already done the import above, see "Getting and Pushing the Code" below.
Getting and Pushing the Code – Working with a Local Repository
1. Getting a local repository. Make sure to use the private URL (firstname.lastname@example.com…) for your development machine to allow you to push your changes back to the GitHub repository. If cloning doesn't work, contact Andres to be added as a collaborator to the repository.
git clone email@example.com:thl/mms.git mms cd mms git submodule init git submodule update
2. Staging and committing changes to the local repository on your development machine. If you are working with plugin (aka submodule) code, see the special "Modifying Plugins" instructions below.
git add . git commit
3. Pushing changes to remote repository (GitHub):
git push
4. Getting changes from remote repository (GitHub):
git pull origin master
- If the changes included the updating a plugin (you would see among the files changed the folder name, for example, vendor/plugins/mms_engine), you need to pull the latest plugin code separately:
git submodule update
Modifying Plugins
It might make the most sense NOT to check out plugins from their individual repositories, but to work with them as submodules of the individual apps (kmaps, mms, or places) instead. If you have cloned any of these apps, you automatically pulled down the plugin code when you did "git submodule update." Just be sure to follow these steps before making any changes.
Getting the proper version of the plugin code
1. Go into the plugin folder, for example:
cd vendor/plugins/mms_engine
2. Check the remote repository URL:
git remote -v
3. If origin is pointing to a read-only URL (i.e. does not start with git@), change it to private URL. If its already pointing to private URL, you should skip this step. Doing this won't change the submodule URL; it will still point to the public URL, but now it will allow you to commit changes directly from your clone repository.
git remote rm origin git remote add origin firstname.lastname@example.com:thl/mms_engine.git
4. Confirm what branch you are in.
git branch
5. If you are not in master, but in "(no branch)", then you should check out master. If you are in master, you should skip this step. This has to be done before you make your changes or you'll lose them.
git checkout master
Applying your plugin code changes
1. Push plugin code back to the remote repository. While in the plugin directory (e.g. vendor/plugins/mms_engine), do the following:
git add . git commit git push
2. Push the plugin changes for the whole app project itself:
cd ../../.. git add . git commit git push
3. Update the app project with all the latest code:
git pull git submodule update
Applying your plugin changes to other projects that use the same plugin:
1. Check out the project and go to the plugin folder. For example:
cd vendor/plugins/mms_engine
2. Confirm what branch you are in:
git branch
3. If you are not in master, but in (no branch), then you should check out master. If you are in master, you should skip this step. This has to be done before you make your changes or you'll lose them.
git checkout master
4. Pull changes:
git pull origin master
If that doesn't work, try merging the changes:
git merge origin/master
5. Push the reference to the latest release for that plugin/submodule:
cd ../../.. git add . git commit git push
6. Update all changes:
git pull git submodule update
Managing Branches
- To create a branch locally:
git branch stable
- To push the newly created branch to the remote repository:
git push origin stable
Tracking a Specific Branch in the Server
- To associate a remote branch to a local branch, check out such branch, and make it the default (this is how the server is setup originally) run:
git checkout --track origin/stable
- If a "fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches" error message is returned, it's likely that the local repo isn't aware of the branch yet. Try:
git remote show origin
- If the remote branch you want is listed under "New remote branches", then it needs to be fetched:
git fetch
- After this, running git pull fetches and merges from origin/stable (which is what we want) instead of origin/master.
git pull
Merging Changes in master to a branch
- The lastest code will be kept on master (what was trunk in svn). Because of this, in the local repository of a developer, they will usually be pointing to master. So first switch to the branch:
git checkout stable
- Merge changes already committed changes from master. This merge also commits (if there weren't any conflicts). The conflicting files you have to add and commit manually.
git merge master
- Not necessary, but you can switch back to master to not forget later.
git checkout master
- Now push changes to remote repository. This will push all changes to all branches.
git push
Reseting the Working Copy back to how it is in the Repository
In order to delete new files that you don't want in the repository run:
git clean -f -d
Check if your in master:
git branch
If you are in no branch run:
git checkout -f master
else you can simply run:
git checkout -f
How to Remove a Submodule
- There are three traces of a submodule. For the first two are text files. Edit them and remove the lines associated with that submodule:
.gitmodules .git/config
- Then you have to remove the submodule entry in the index/commit. To do that run:
git rm --cached path/to/submodule
Note: Do not put a trailing slash at the end of path. If you put a trailing slash at the end of the command, it will fail.

Every year at this exact time, nerdy online retailer Think Geek offers the absolute coolest stuff for sale. Too bad none of it's real. But which items are real and which are fake? The Dharma Initiative alarm clock? The WiiHelm? The iPad arcade cabinet? Canned unicorn meat? Some of this stuff is so damn cool they've actually produced it for real (the Star Wars Tauntaun sleeping bag, for example). Argh! Must have Tribbles 'N' Bits. They stay fuzzy in milk!

With the return of the better half on hour celestial hunter team (Moon has not been able to do anything from being in dial up for almost a month) and the addition of DPS wizards Frotobaggings and smidgeon, we are shaping up a very solid 10 man group.
Hon has been working hard on switching from being a ret pally to tanking and last night we finally saw fruits out of the seeds we have been planting.
While most of us had been on pugs or with buddy guilds to Naxx, this was only the first time we actually downed a boss since our guild split. We have been gearing people up and this was the first time some of them had seen Naxx.
We cleaned trash mobs up to the first boss in the aracnid quarter like nobody's business but then we had issues taking the boss down.
While it took us way longer than it probably should have, I think everyone that went learned that boss by heart now and there should never be an issue taking him down again.
Healers can find a pug a lot easier than tanks. Most raiding guilds have set tanks, so getting into 10 mans is very hard for someone just leveling up. Vault was truly not a training ground and 5 man dungeons are really not as conducive to learning "real" boss fights. Studying strats and watching videos is all nice and dandy but until the raid has been to a place, some of those mechanics just don't click.
I am glad we stuck with it and got that boss down. While we might never burn through content like some others might, I think our progression is getting better. It was hard to lose key players in the past, but the "back ups" have stepped in. I never thought I would become a main tank since ours used to be so freaking good at it. I still miss being able to learn from him and ask him questions about tanking, but good riddance and even if its at a slower pace we will conquer the content.

The weekly challenge over at Designed2Delights is all about Fall.
I love this weeks Digital Stamp from D2D. It's called "Autumn Mums".
This card was made in memory of my mother. Mums were one of her favorite flowers, and we always had them in the house during this time of year.
After coloring the stamp with my copic earlier this week, I finally put my card together earlier today. I left a section at the bottom for adding a sentiment. I love the sentiments that came with the "Autumn Mums" but am thinking this card would work for many different occasions.
Thanks for stopping by!

After a frustrating season without a win, the Appoquinimink High School football team ended the season with a big victory tonight at home on Senior Night.
After a frustrating season without a win, the Appoquinimink High School football team ended the season with a big victory tonight at home on Senior Night.
The Jaguars used a smothering defense to defeat the Charter School of Wilmington 13-3. The Force came into the game with a 2-7 record, having defeated Newark and Delcastle this season.
In the first quarter, the two teams traded punts before the Jaguars mounted their first scoring threat. Appoquinimink moved the ball into Charter territory, but when the drive stalled, a field goal attempt was blocked. The quarter ended in a scoreless tie.
In the second quarter, the Jaguars took the lead on a 75-yard scoring drive highlighted by a 24-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Livingston to Matthew Johnson with 1:08 left in the half. Andrew Jones kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. The drive was sparked by several big runs by Demetrius Word, including a 27-yard play.
With about one minute left in the half, Appo tried a squib kickoff to prevent a potential big return. But the strategy backfired because Charter took the short kick and returned it to the 50-yard line.
The Force quickly moved the ball toward the end zone with passes and runs, but the Jaguars' defense dug in. With just seconds left in the half, Charter faced a fourth down and five yards to go from Appo's 16. The Force brought on the field goal unit, but Appo was offsides on the attempt, giving Charter a try from five yards closer. The Force kicker nailed the field goal as time ran out to make the halftime score 7-3.
Charter received the kickoff to start the third quarter, but Appo's defense stopped the Force after three downs and forced a punt.
The snap to the punter was low, and the punt was short. Appo took over on Charter's 32.
Word had some big carries as the Jaguars worked the ball down to the goal line. Then Daniel Poarch broke through the Charter defense on a one-yard plunge for a touchdown. The extra-point kick was blocked, but the Jaguars had a 13-3 lead with 4:43 left in the third quarter.
Charter took the kickoff and moved the ball into Appo territory, using short passes mixed with runs. At the 33-yard line, the Jaguars stopped a third-and-two play, and then forced an incomplete pass on fourth-and-two to take over with 1:41 remaining in the third quarter.
Appo moved the ball upfield, with a drive that lasted into the fourth quarter, but a fumble gave the ball back to the Force with 9:20 left in the game.
Again, the Jaguars' defense was up to the challenge, forcing Charter into a fourth and 10 from its own 45. As the Charter quarterback dropped back to pass, he was sacked by the Jaguars' Ronald Tuck for a 10-yard loss with 6:03 to play.
On Appo's next drive, a long touchdown run by Word was called back because of a penalty, and then the Jaguars had to punt with 3:21 left. Charter drove to midfield, but the Appo defense stopped the Force on a fourth down play with 1:19 left.
As Appo was trying to run out the clock, Word broke through the Charter defense for a 19-yard run to the Force's 30-yard line to ice the game.
Appoquinimink head coach Jeff Weiner said he was proud of the team's effort.
"We made this like their Super Bowl. We wanted to end the season on a positive note, for the young kids for next year, and for the seniors to go out the right way," Weiner said.
The Jaguars finished the season 1-9.

One rule for the use of Sysprep has been that the size of the destination computer's hard disk must be at least the same size as the hard disk of the master installation. If the destination computer has a larger hard disk, the difference is not included in the primary partition. However, the "ExtendOemPartition" entry in the Sysprep.inf file can be used to extend the primary partition on the destination computer if it was formatted to use the NTFS or FAT32 file system by using the following values.
Modify the Sysprep.inf file to use the "ExtendOemPartition" key in the [Unattended] section to extend the partition to the full size of the target disk or the extra size (in megabytes) that you want. Values:
The "ExtendOemPartition=1" entry has been known to cause a blue screen when used in combination with a 512e/4K Advanced Format hard drive. The problem arises when a Windows XP image is using Sysprep and has the entry "ExtendOemPartion=1" in the sysprep.inf file. That invokes XP's version of Diskpart to extend the XP partition (NTFS or FAT32) to use any unutilized disk space on the hard drive. When that happens, it extends the drive during sysprep and ends that partition extension on a boundary that is not aligned and compatible with the partition boundary that was set to be compatible with 512e/4k Advanced Format hard drives. This process creates a partition that is of an unrecognizable size and may result in a blue screen during the imaging process. To resolve this issue, please remove the "ExtendOemPartion=1" line in Sysprep.
