Violin played on sinking Titanic for sale
IT'S a poignant scene familiar to anyone who has watched Titanic – as the doomed ship slides into the icy waters, musicians perform one last time for the passengers, playing with stoic resolve until the final hour.
None of the musicians survived in the 1912 disaster in the North Atlantic, but a violin believed to be the one played by bandmaster Wallace Hartley will now go on auction.
"It is just a remarkable piece of history," said Andrew Aldridge, of auctioneer Henry Aldridge and Son. "I have been an auctioneer for 20 years, but I have never seen an item that brings out this degree of emotion in people before."
The violin, with Hartley's name on it, is believed to have been found at sea with the musician's body more than a week after the Titanic sank.
The auction house, which specializes in Titanic memorabilia, expects the violin to fetch more than 200,000 pounds ($ 335,500) when it goes on sale in southern England's Wiltshire on Saturday.
Hartley and his seven fellow band members were among the 1,517 people aboard the Titanic who died after it hit an iceberg. According to some accounts, the band played the hymn "Nearer, My God, To Thee" to keep spirits up as the passengers boarded lifeboats in the early hours of April 15, 1912.
The musicians have been hailed as heroes for sacrificing their chances of escape.
"Mr Hartley and the band were very brave people … standing by their posts to the bitter end," Mr Aldridge said.
The auction house said the violin has been subject to numerous tests to check its authenticity since it was discovered in 2006. It said earlier this year that the violin was Hartley's "beyond reasonable doubt."
The violin, of German make, was a gift from Hartley's fiancee Maria Robinson, and was engraved with the words "For Wallace on the occasion of our engagement from Maria." It can no longer be played, Aldridge said.

Aston-Martin have transcended from being a mere car manufacturer into a British icon. The supercar manufacturer have been the very epitome of style, luxury and power for well over 100 years, and the name alone conjures up images of wealth, extravagance and success.
Their association with another British icon, a certain James Bond 007, has only helped to increase their glamorous image and leave millions of fans desperately coveting their cars.
This level of exclusivity comes at a price, however, which means that most of us can only fantasize of owning the car of our dreams.
There is an alternative solution that is becoming increasingly popular; Aston Martin car hire. You may also enjoy hiring other cars like Range Rovers - https://www.super-car-rental-near-me.co.uk/model-type/range-rover/herefordshire/bagwyllydiart/ - and more, so make certain to get in touch for details.

Aston-Martin's first all-new supercar in over a decade has been making quite a splash with the critics. The DB11 even managed to impress The Grand Tour's Jeremy Clarkson which is no easy thing to accomplish.
With a massive 5.2 litre V12 engine, it can go from 0-60 in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 200mph.
Even with a price tag of £156,000, the DB11 has been phenomenally popular, with the factory making more DB11's in three months than they made in the entire run of the classic DB5.
This makes DB11 hire in Bagwyllydiart HR2 8 even more enticing and one of the most sought-after hires available.

he DBD has a 6.0 litre V12 engine and can reach 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. It has a maximum speed of 191 mph.
So, if you're thinking of hiring a DBS and fancy a spin in the car that was good enough for James Bond, then the DBS hire might be for you.
The Aston V8 Vantage Roadster commenced production in 2005 and is so popular that they are continuing to make the car with an all-new version planned for 2019. Capable of speeds of up to 178 mph, the 4.3 litre V8 engine is no slouch.
Even with the addition of a retractable roof and 200lbs in weight for safety reasons, the V8 Vantage Roadster can still hit 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. Over 10,000 Vantage has been made making it the company's most successful car ever.
If you are thinking of alternative options, you might want to have a look at the McLaren https://www.super-car-rental-near-me.co.uk/model-type/mclaren/herefordshire/bagwyllydiart/, which is another great car available to hire at a great price from our team.
Purchasing a V8 Vantage Roadster will set you back somewhere in the region of £102,000 so if you want to experience an Aston but want the wind in your hair too then this is the one to rent.
The Aston DB5 was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with the finest member of Her Majesty's Secret Service. Since its appearance in Goldfinger in 1964, the DB5 has become one of the most iconic vehicles in movie history.
Although the factory-produced car did not have an ejector seat and machine guns like 007's, it did have ultra elegant style, a 4.0 litre engine and got to 60 mph in 8 seconds. It was also available as a convertible for two years from 1963.

Apartment One, Brooklyn, New York, 2009
Moomah is a creative arts café for parents, children and friends in TriBeCa, New York. When we first met with Tracey Stewart, founder and president of Moomah, she expressed a desire for Moomah to be a space that encourages creativity and connection, where imagination is king, where we are inspired by our children and hope to inspire them and teach them that anything is possible. We worked to create a visual and written brand language that spoke to those ideals. We created three different variations of the M logo out of elements that represented each of the four core brand values: connect, create, discover and nourish—Moomah being a space to encourage parents, children and friends to connect, create, discover and nourish their relationships to one another, themselves and the world around them. Those values also speak to some of the many activities one can participate in when visiting Moomah.
We also wanted to create a memorable and recognizable brand language without having to put a logo on all applications. We created custom application-specific illustrations filled with the wonder, magic and heart of Moomah and placed them above a dotted line and type to set the foundation. These illustrations and corresponding tag lines were conceptually developed for their specific applications (business cards, stationery, café menu, hot and cold cups, shopping bags, stickers, brochures, website, etc.).
Juror Notes
Great use of formal, repurposed illustrations that create the brand look, feel and concept. Great brand application across business and detail items.
Great color design approach.
Love the headlines.

One week from now we'll have finished the Nokia Zoom event in NYC. We'll have the complete picture of the Lumia "EOS" by then. Last night we shared the front of the device in an image leaked by @evleaks on Twitter. At the time he thought it would be called the Lumia 1020, but new information has crossed his path that suggests EOS/Elvis will be known at the Lumia 909. We've also got a new picture of the device, its backside.
We never doubted that AT&T would be the only place you'd be able to pick up the Nokia EOS when it becomes available, so it was nice to learn that the UK would be having fun with it too. What will we all be getting?
- 41 MP camera with Xenon flash
- Nokia Pro Camera
- 32GB of internal storage
- OLED screen at 768 x 1280
- FM Radio
- 1 mm thinner than Lumia 920 (except for the camera housing)
I can't wait to see what the mad geniuses of Nokia have done with the imaging technology in the upcoming device. If this thing really is a combination of the sensor found in the PureView 808 with everything Nokia has learned since then (OIS, software tricks, etc) this will be produce drool inducing pictures.

Bride-To-Be, Bridesmaids Killed In Limo Fire Enroute To Bachelorette Party.
May 16, 2013 by Staff
Filed under News, Weekly Columns
(Akiit.com) A limousine taking nine women to a bachelorette party erupted in flames, killing five of the passengers, including the bride-to-be, authorities and the mother of one of the survivors said Sunday.
The limo caught fire at around 10 p.m. Saturday on one of the busiest bridges on San Francisco Bay, California Highway Patrol officer Art Montiel told The Associated Press.
Five of the women were trapped, but the four other women managed to get out after the vehicle came to a stop on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, the patrol said.
Rosita Guardiano told the San Francisco Chronicle that the woman for whom the bachelorette party was being thrown was to be married next month. Guardiano said her daughter was one of the survivors.
Investigators haven't determined what sparked the fire, but the patrol said the white stretch limo became engulfed in flames after smoke started coming out of the rear of the vehicle.
A photo taken by a witness and broadcast on KTVU-TV showed flames shooting from the back of the 1999 Lincoln Town Car.
Aerial video shot after the incident showed about one-third of the back half of the limousine had been scorched by the fire. Its taillights and bumper were gone and it appeared to be resting on its rims, but the remainder of the vehicle didn't appear to be damaged.
The driver of the limo – 46-year-old Orville Brown of San Jose – was the only person to escape unhurt.
It wasn't clear how he managed to escape without injury. Investigators Sunday afternoon were still seeking witnesses, the CHP said.
"Four people got out, as far as what was going on inside, I don't know," CHP officer Jeremy Lofstrom said Sunday. CHP investigators Sunday afternoon were still seeking witnesses to the incident.
All five women were pronounced dead at the scene. Autopsies were being conducted, San Mateo County Supervising Deputy Coroner Michelle Rippy said.
The company that operated the limo was identified as Limo Stop, which offers service through limousines, vans and SUVS.
A telephone message left at the company seeking comment by The Associated Press wasn't immediately returned. Attempts to reach the driver were also unsuccessful.
Guardiano said her daughter – 42-year-old Mary Grace Guardiano of Alameda – was being treated for smoke inhalation.
The three other women who escaped the fire, Jasmine Desguia, 34, of San Jose; Nelia Arrellano, 36, of Oakland; and Amalia Loyola, 48, of San Leandro, were taken to hospitals to be treated for smoke inhalation and burns, the patrol said.
Desguia and Loyola were listed in critical condition, said Joy Alexiou, a spokeswoman for Valley Medical Center. The condition of Arrellano, who was taken to another hospital, was not known.

At Stevenson Dental Care, we have an easy and cost-effective custom whitening system. That uses custom-made take-home whitening trays to put a healthier look back into your smile without the expense of a costly, generic cosmetic treatment.
Although there are so many over-the-counter products available for whitening teeth without dentist supervision, the most effective and safest whitening treatment, the CDA recommends using custom-fitted mouth trays made by your dentist.
The take home tray whitening process is comfortable and requires a short visit to your dentist.
Before starting the whitening process, we will clean your teeth and treat any existing dental problems like decay or gum disease. The next step is making your custom take home whitening trays. After taking an impression of your teeth, we will use the molds to make the trays. Durable, lightweight and clear, the trays usually take a couple of days to be made.
Once made, these trays can then be taken home as a teeth whitening kit, along with the guidelines given by our dentist. For at-home use, you will place a small amount of the bleaching solution into the clear trays and wear the trays for an hour a day for one to two weeks.
After they have been used and are taken off, they need to be cleaned with a Q-tip or a cloth and rinsed. This makes them ready to be used again. It is not recommended to use them for at least another day, after each application. These whitening trays can be used several times to obtain the desired results. It is important to note that although take home trays are a convenient option, obtaining great results can take longer than other treatments and they don't always work well for deep stains.
Overall, patients are amazed at how much whitening takes place during this time, and an occasional treatment now and then is all you need to keep your teeth looking their best. If you are looking to achieve a beautiful smile, turn to Stevenson Dental Care in Oshawa for take home teeth whitening services.

Energy Efficiency has been in the public dialogue for several months now. Sen. Bill Seitz, chairman of the Ohio Senate Public Utilities Committee, had called for a review of both the energy efficiency and the renewable power generation portfolios that are set forth in Ohio's SB 221 and 315. This has led to a series of hearings on these topics. FirstEnergy Corporation, an outspoken critic of the energy efficiency mandate, has argued at the hearings that the mandate should be modified because the energy landscape has changed since the mandate was enacted in 2008. What might have made sense in 2008, FirstEnergy claims, no longer makes sense in today's energy markets. So how has the energy landscape changed since 2008? Wholesale electric power prices have dropped significantly, due in part to the deep recession the nation has been suffering since 2008, and in part to a precipitous drop in natural gas prices as a result of the shale gale. FirstEnergy argues that energy efficiency no longer is the least-cost option to meet our growing energy needs. Setting aside the dubious proposition that sustained low natural gas prices will also mean sustained low wholesale electricity prices — the Energy Information Agency, among others, has reached a very different conclusion — we should consider FirstEnergy's argument carefully. Ohio's economy is, after all, highly dependent upon inexpensive electricity.
SHALE Blogs
Large industrial electricity users should support the energy efficiency mandate
At the outset, it should be noted that we might expect FirstEnergy to make such an argument. Under our electricity regulations FirstEnergy's profits are tied to its sales volumes. Accordingly we should not be surprised when FirstEnergy opposes demand side energy efficiency: it reduces sales volumes. But we cannot dismiss FirstEnergy's argument just because it will always oppose demand side energy efficiency. It just means that we need to look for less self-serving arguments from those who might agree with this contention. One organization that recently testified to the Senate Hearings and that agrees with FirstEnergy is the Ohio Energy Group (OEG), an association of major industrial energy users – including steel, chemicals and aluminum manufacturers, among others. Here are some of OEG's arguments: (1) energy efficiency delays the construction of new gas-fired generation, (2) the cost of meeting the mandate is too high, and (3) the mandate unfairly penalizes those industries that had already undertaken energy efficiency work, and who were therefore ineligible for the waivers available for the energy efficiency rider. OEG's first argument is easily dismissed. Say what you want about how cheap natural gas has made new generation less costly, the fact remains that the utilities are not going to build meaningful new generation. In a deregulated market, utilities do not respond to short-term price signals with new long-term generation investment. It is too risky. On the other hand, we may see some gas-fired, on-site self-generation by industrial users — but only if the energy efficiency mandate is retained. Our current standby and net metering regulations render natural gas fired combined heat and power generation uneconomical without the energy efficiency credits now available under SB 315. So the energy efficiency mandate actually will lead to more, not less, gas-fired generation. Weighing the real costs So what about the second argument — that the cost of meeting the mandate is too high? According to John Seryak, an energy expert from Go Sustainable LLC who also testified at one of the hearings, this argument is also misguided. Mr. Seryak, citing a study recently commissioned by the Ohio Manufacturing Association (OMA) and conducted by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), argues that energy efficiency, after factoring in capital, fuel and operating costs (i.e. "levelizing" the costs), typically runs between 1 and 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. Natural gas generation, on the other hand, runs between 6 to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, even with low fuel prices. The ACEEE found that the levelized cost of energy efficiency savings in Ohio to date has been less than a penny a kilowatt-hour. It is doubtful we could approach that price for natural gas generation even if the gas were free. So how about the argument that the portfolio standards are unfair to those who invested in energy efficiency prior to the passage of SB 221? At first blush, this argument is inviting. Electricity users that voluntarily undertook energy efficiency work on their own prior to the passage of SB 221 seem to be rewarded for this behavior by having to subsidize the rest of the state's energy efficiency work, including that of their competitors. However, this argument is decidedly not based upon any new development since 2008. These arguments were made to a bipartisan Ohio Assembly in 2008, which led to a compromise: Any work done in the three years prior to 2009 is credited toward a waiver of the energy efficiency rider. There has to be a starting point for the mandate sometime, and this was the date negotiated. We should not be revisiting SB 221 or SB 315 based on this argument. So here is the problem: the manufacturers appear to be split on the value of the energy efficiency mandate. OMA Likes it. OEG does not. a few weeks ago Matt Brakey, president of the Industrial Energy Users of Ohio, wrote in Crain's that he thinks it is too costly. Yet another manufacturing group, Wire-Net, says that the mandate should be kept.
My vote goes with OMA and Wire-Net. I have read the ACEEE study and, using some pretty conservative assumptions, ACEEE makes a compelling argument for how the energy efficiency mandate will make Ohio's manufacturing more competitive. ACEEE projects that the mandate will generate savings for Ohio consumers -- through reduced electricity consumption, wholesale power prices, capacity charges and transmission fees -- of over $5 billion by 2020. Of course, manufacturing alone should not control our electricity policy. But the commercial and residential users seem to be in favor of keeping the mandate, as nearly as I can tell. If I were an Ohio State Senator, I would need very compelling reasons for Ohio to be the first state to roll back its energy efficiency mandate. I have not seen any such reason yet. Likewise, if I am a large industrial user of electricity, I would also not be keen to be seen leading the charge for regressive state energy policy. It just isn't good environmental stewardship. It this day of image marketing, that should be all that need be said on the subject.

Being Safe in the Kitchen
Do you like putting on an apron and making a delicious snack for your family? How about helping out at the stove, stirring and sniffing the sweet smells? Or making cookies by cutting out your favorite shapes?
Making food is fun, but it's important to know how to be safe. This means knowing when to get the help of an adult assistant, how to keep things clean, and how to use the kitchen safely. Let's get cookin'!
Your Adult Assistant
If you've ever seen a cooking show on TV, you know that all the best chefs have an assistant to help them out. If you're a kid, an adult assistant can come in handy to make cooking easier and keep you safe.
Before beginning any recipe, get an adult's permission to work in the kitchen. If your recipe uses knives, the stove, or other kitchen appliances, you must have some adult help. Some things that adults use in the kitchen may seem simple to operate, but once you use them yourself, you might be surprised by how difficult they actually are. By having your assistant around, you can avoid surprises, stay safe, and have fun while you cook.
What Should You Wear?
Wearing an apron will keep your clothes clean. If you don't have an apron, an old shirt will do. But don't wear anything that's big and loose. Baggy sleeves or clothes could catch fire or get caught in mixer beaters or other equipment.
Keep Germs Out of Your Food
A big part of safe cooking is keeping the chef and the kitchen clean. The idea is to keep germs, which can make you sick, out of your food. Always wash your hands with soap and water right before you begin any recipe. This is especially important for recipes that involve touching the food directly, like kneading dough or mixing ingredients with your hands.
Also be sure to wash your hands before and after handling raw meat, poultry, egg, and fish products because these foods can contain bacteria. You don't want that bacteria getting on your hands because then they could end up in your mouth — yuck!
You also can fight germs by keeping your working surfaces (like countertops and cutting boards) clean and dry. Wash them with soap and warm water after you're done cooking.
Leftovers are great, but you don't want germs in them either. Ask your adult assistant for help in storing any leftovers. Food may be refrigerated or frozen to keep it fresh. Eat refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days. Frozen leftovers are safe but lose flavor when stored longer than 3 or 4 months.
Using the Kitchen Safely
You have your ingredients neatly lined up, your hands washed, and your measuring spoons out. But before you start, it's a good idea to learn a few rules of the kitchen. It's easy to get injured in the kitchen if you're not careful, and a cut or burn will put an end to your fun cooking session.
Always ask your adult assistant if you can use blenders, food processors, knives, or other sharp kitchen tools. If you're allowed to use a knife, point the blade away from yourself and keep your fingers away from the blade when you're cutting. Give the job your full attention — no looking at the TV for a quick second or yelling to your sister. Your adult assistant should be nearby to keep an eye on what you're doing.
The same goes for the stove or oven: Get permission first and be sure your adult assistant is nearby to watch you.
Here are some ways to keep from getting burned:
- Use potholders or oven mitts (no dish towels) when handling hot pots, pans, or baking trays.
- Turn pot and pan handles toward the back of the stove so you won't knock them over by accident.
- Get help from an adult when using a gas stove. Never try to relight the pilot light on a gas stove. Only an adult should do this.
- Use only microwave-safe cookware in the microwave — never tinfoil or anything metal. If you're not sure if something is safe for use in the microwave, ask an adult first.
Cooking Lessons
Did you know there are special schools where grownups go to learn how to cook? That's because cooking is an art and it takes time and practice to learn how to do it.
If you're just starting out, it can take a while before you learn how to crack an egg or cook the pasta until it's just right. You'll figure it out — with a little help from your adult assistant!

- 1 Git and eTrice
- 2 Steps to change to Indigo
Git and eTrice
For eTrice we are using the Git-Repository from eclipse. For those people, who are not so familiar with Git, this chapter will give a step by step introduction.
Git in general and Git at Eclipse
- General: complete online version of the ProGIT book: http://progit.org/book/
- Git@Eclipse: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git
- Git workflow recommendations: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows
- For committers: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git_for_Committers
- You can directly get Web access to git repositories: http://git.eclipse.org/
After installation of EGit in Eclipse, you can look up "Git for Eclipse Users" in the EGit Documentation.
Installations on your computer
- command line tool (not necessary but convenient)
- download git: http://git-scm.com/download
- e.g. for Windows: Git-22.214.171.124-preview20101002.exe
- download git: http://git-scm.com/download
- EGit is already contained in the Kepler modeling package
- Line Endings for EGit in Eclipse: Be aware that the global settings of the command line version of git might be different from the global EGit settings: (Perspective Git Repository Exploring -> <Context Menu on Repo Location> Open Properties View -> Global Configuration -> Edit ):
- core.autocrlf = true
- Line Endings for EGit in Eclipse: Be aware that the global settings of the command line version of git might be different from the global EGit settings: (Perspective Git Repository Exploring -> <Context Menu on Repo Location> Open Properties View -> Global Configuration -> Edit ):
- Encoding in Eclipse (Window -> Preferences -> Workspace -> Text File Encoding)
- Windows: Default (Cp1252)
- Linux: Other -> ISO-8859-1
Clone eTrice Repository
Global Configuration
IMPORTANT: execute in shell or git shell:
- git config --global user.email <your email address>
- git config --global user.name "<your user name>"
- git config --global core.autocrlf true
Repository Configuration
The typical configuration for a committer repository is
[core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = false logallrefupdates = true symlinks = false ignorecase = true hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly [remote "origin"] url = ssh://<your committer id>@git.eclipse.org:29418/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master rebase = true [gerrit] createchangeid = true
pull/push (only for committers and contributors)
- ssh: git clone ssh://<your commiter name>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
- https: git clone https://<your commiter name>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
only pull
- http: git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
Use EGit
- create empty workspace
- open view "Git Repositories" or perspective "Git Repository Exploring"
- add repository path of your local git repository you cloned before
- contextmenu on repository: "Import Projects..."
- Next >
- Select All + Finish
Gerrit is a Code Review system for Git. Such a system is hosted by Eclipse.
The eTrice project enabled their Git repository for Gerrit. Committers can bypass Gerrit while Contributers have to use the reviewing system of Gerrit for their contributions.
Here is a selection of useful links that everybody should read:
- The Gerrit Web interface
- Quick Intro to Gerrit
- Gerrit Documentation
- Gerrit Wiki Page
- Introduction to Gerrit (by the Qt project)
- Thanh Ha about Gerrit
- Lars Vogel Gerrit Tutorial
Steps to get up and running with Gerrit
- get an Eclipse Bugzilla account
- get your user name from Gerrit (check the Gerrit settings)
- upload an ssh key to Gerrit (see how)
- make sure your ssh key resides in ~/.ssh (on Windows 7 this is typically /c/Users/<user name>/.ssh)
- check in the ssh2 preferences of Eclipse the correct directory is set (e.g. /c/Users/<user name>/.ssh)
- to avoid problems you should use the standard names for your key files (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub)
- if you do not already have a clone of the eTrice repository
- use EGit or the command line client to clone from ssh://<your Gerrit user name>@git.eclipse.org:29418/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
- if you have problems authenticating with Gerrit over Git it may help to
ssh -p 29418 <your Gerrit user name>@git.eclipse.org
once- you can use the Git Bash that comes with the commandline GIT
- make sure the working directory (~) is the same as for eclipse (/c/Users/<user name>)
- configure a remote for Gerrit reviews in your repository
- use the context menu of the Git Repositories View to Open Properties View
- in the Properties View push the Edit icon in the upper right corner
- create new entries:
- create a new entry remote.review.url with value ssh://<your Gerrit user name>@git.eclipse.org:29418/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
- create a new entry remote.review.push with value HEAD:refs/for/master
- Note for committers: to bypass the review and push directly to the repository you can add another two entries in the properties of your repository:
- create a new entry remote.bypass.url with value ssh://<your Gerrit user name>@git.eclipse.org:29418/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
- create a new entry remote.bypass.push with value HEAD:refs/heads/master
- note :- for juno entry remote.review.push should have value HEAD:refs/for/juno (Only if you are working on juno branch)
- set the property gerrit.createchangeid to true either in your repository or globally (details can be found here)
- Note: the Change-Id will be 0 and only be set to the real value on submit
Now you can commit your changes as usual to your local Git repository.
When everything is ready to push you can use EGit to push to the reviewing system (use the review remote). Gerrit will create a new change which can be reviewed and verified by a committer. Gerrit allows the committer to leave comments in the source code diff which will help to improve the code.
When everything is alright the committer may submit the changes to the eTrice Git repository.
Use branches when working with Gerrit
- switch to a newly created (local) branch in your Git repository with an appropriate name, say 'mywork. (It is recommended to turn off any auto merge/rebase function on pull)
- as long as you work on your local branch you are shielded against changes on the remote master branch.
- when you are ready to push you push your branch to Gerrit with ref HEAD:refs/for/master/mywork (this will create a so called topic branch in Gerrit)
Proper handling of Gerrit's Change Id
- Create a new change
- If this is the first time it has seen the Change-Id mentioned in the commit message, Gerrit will create a new change for review.
- Update an existing change
- If Gerrit has seen this Change-Id before, but has not yet seen this new commit object, Gerrit will add the new commit as a new patch set on the existing change.
Squashing Changes
Here is an article how Git can merge several commits into one using (interactive) rebase: (cannot be done in EGit (version 2.1) yet)
If you want to squash your lastest local commits with EGit (e.g. before pushing to Gerrit), you can use following method:
- In Git Repository Exploring: Right click on repository -> Show In -> History
- In History view: To squash your lastest m commits into m (which is first in chronological order), right click on m -> Reset -> Soft (HEAD Only)
- Amend commit to save changes from the m-1 commits and to edit the commit message
Note: The m commits have to be (a) continous, (b) lastest in repository and if you want to push to Gerrit (c) local
Integrating a contribution
The patch has to be IP clean and it should be checked if a CQ is necessary!
If Gerrit isn't able to merge the patch (e.g. if prerequisites lead to conflicts) a committer can merge the patch locally to his master branch (make sure to have branch.master.rebase=true) and check that in. The history will show all the commits of the contributor. Since also the bypass uses Gerrit's interface Gerrit will mark the corresponding patches as merged.
Create a patch
For the CQ diff files of the patches have to be created and attached.
This can be done as follows:
git log --author=.*contributor_name.* --parents --oneline
- creates a compact list of the contributor's commits with two IDs (commit+parent) for regular commits or three IDs (commit+2 parents) for merges
git format-patch --stdout 28fda9c..537d59a > patch_1.txt
- as IDs use the parent ID as first and the parent ID as second ID of the range
Gerrit workflow
The typical workflow is illustrated in the flow chart on the right side. Further details:
- Use branches when working with Gerrit (see how)
Consider to create a new branch for each independent piece of work.
- Reduce the number of reviews
Remember, that each commit with a new change-id spawns a new review/change. Before pushing to Gerrit, you should squash your local commits into 1 commit (see how). The first time it gets a new change-id, otherwise amend this commit. If you want to push a new change, consider that it will be difficult to alter previous changes (see below).
- Push on HEAD only
If you push a commit on a previous change, you have to rebase all succeeding changes. This often goes with a great deal of work. Therefore it is recommended to continue the lastest change only. - Rebase on final submit
In case Gerrit's auto merges fails, you have to rebase your change(s) on master.- If there is only 1 commit to submit, rebase it and just amend this modifications.
- else you have to walk through your commit history and resolve the conflicts using interactive rebase (but do not alter the history of your commits). In EGit see EGit/User_Guide#Starting_Rebase and EGit/User_Guide#Rebase_Conflicts (choose only: Action to perform -> "Start Merge Tool to resolve conflicts", then resolve conflicts and continue with next commit)
See also the workflow the Android project uses:
Create a new patch for a change on Gerrit
Assume some contributor provided a patch using Gerrit. You checked out this into your local clone (Fetch from Gerrit > Create and checkout a local branch). Then you modified the code. Now you want to provide your changes as new patch for the existing change.
- commit your work and check 'amend'
- if the commit message doesn't contain a ChangeId then copy it from Gerrit and paste it into the message
- push your change to Gerrit (usualy refs/for/master)
Create a Patch via Git Gui
- open the Git Gui from your windows menu
- open your "local Git Repositoriy"
- from the main menu select "Projektarchiv" => "Historie von >>master<< darstellen"
- in the new window the latest master version must be selected (blue)
- right click on "lokale Änderungen"
- in the contextmenu select "Patch erstellen"
Apply a Patch
We assume the patch was created as described above.
- in the context menu of the Package Explorer go to Team > Apply patch...
- in the wizard select File and locate the patch file
- select 'Apply the patch to the workspace root'
- set leading path segments to 2
- check the result and Finish
Checkout a previous revision
Inspect the log and determine the commit id you want to change to. Then git checkout
$ git checkout 2eb90f4643fd425f77de2b88753a86416cda0166 Note: checking out '2eb90f4643fd425f77de2b88753a86416cda0166'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b new_branch_name HEAD is now at 2eb90f4... ui.structure: during creation take position as midpoint of new interface item. Adjusted PopulateDiagramCommand accordingly.
working with branches
creating a local branch
pushing a local branch
creating a remote tracking branch
pulling for remote tracking branches
If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to use something like the following in your configuration file:
[branch "before_indigo"] remote = <nickname> merge = <remote-ref>
[remote "<nickname>"] url = <url> fetch = <refspec>
With EGit the configuration can be accesses from the Git Repositories View context menu > Open Properties View The Properties View displays the current configuration and offers an Edit button in the upper left corner.
Here is an example of a pull configuration for a remote tracking branch:
Using the eTrice github clone
According to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332970 Eclipse projects with git repositories (and correct metadata set) are mirrored to github.
And so is eTrice: https://github.com/eclipse/etrice
Here are some slides explaining how github is accessed using EGit: http://www.slideshare.net/loianeg/using-the-egit-eclipse-plugin-with-git-hub-2578587
Any github user can fork an existing github repository. This facilitates collaborating with contributors which have no commit rights.
See also the Wiki page on Git contributions.
TODO: typical workflow...
Some hints to create Documentation
Location of Documentation
- ETrice Documentation will be put to org.eclipse.etrice.doc
- numbering of chapters is 000-xxx, 005-yyy, 010-zzz, 015... to have room for inject some chapters
- images (put to the folder images) should have the same numbering according to the chapters
- within the etrice-index.txt document the ordering of the chapters will be done. This file will be used from the build prozess to collect all single .textile files to produce the complete Doku.
- build prozess will be started from the external tool menu => "build-etrice-doc". (you must have internet access during production of the docu)
Within the .textile file
- with F1 you can get a list of the formating strings
- some formating options does not work well for all document types e.g. __italic__ does not work in the pdf file if the string contains "_". => therefore, for names which reference a concrete model name (shown in a picture or code block) use: "??This_is_my_name??" == citation
- use IrfanView to create screen shots (everything on board what you need)
- use the png format to save pictures (i had never problems with that)
- pictures should not be larger than 640*480 pixels. Otherwise they will cause problems in the PDF file. IrfanView: Ctrl+r => resize image
- to sharpen the images, use IrfanView: Image=>sharpen to create perfect screen shots.
Steps to change to Indigo
- download and install eclipse Modeling for Win32
- install Xtext from
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/download/ (drag and drop the install icon to your eclipse toolbar)
- install Egit, Subversive and Graphiti via the update site from indogo
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo (for Subversive use the Connector Native JavaHL 1.6.12)
- download the target configuration "target-indigo-2011-06-29" from ftp.protos.de and copy it to your target path. To get the credits for the protos ftp server, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
- in preferences=>Run/Debug=>String Substitution make sure that the variable "eTriceTargetInstallationPath" is set to your target path. (create the variable if not existing)
- in the preferences=>plug in development=>target configuration, make sure that the "eTrice development" target is selected
- sometimes it is necessary to update the plug in list (IOExtensions cannot be resolved)
=> windows=>preferences=>pulg in development=> target configuration (select the "running configuration" and apply it, select the "eTrice development" target again and apply it) (if somebody knows a smarter way to update the plug in list, please change this wiki)

"Suspicious test scores in roughly 200 school districts resemble those that entangled Atlanta in the biggest cheating scandal in American history," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported over the weekend.
It examined data from 50 states and the District of Columbia, covering 69,000 schools in 14,743 districts and found that:
"Overall, 196 of the nation's 3,125 [or about 6 percent] largest school districts had enough suspect [standardized] tests that the odds of the results occurring by chance alone were worse than one in 1,000."
The newspaper's work adds to that done a year ago by USA Today, which looked at standardized test scores " from about 24,000 public schools in six states and Washington, D.C.," and "identified 1,610 examples of anomalies in which public school classes — a school's entire fifth grade, for example — boasted what analysts regard as statistically rare, perhaps suspect, gains on state tests."
USA Today's figures translate to a little less than 7 percent of the schools that were analyzed.
As the AJC writes:
"The analysis doesn't prove cheating. But it reveals that test scores in hundreds of cities followed a pattern that, in Atlanta, indicated cheating in multiple schools. ...
"Perhaps more important, the analysis suggests a broad betrayal of schoolchildren across the nation. As Atlanta learned after cheating was uncovered in half its elementary and middle schools last year, falsified test results deny struggling students access to extra help to which they are entitled, and erode confidence in a vital public institution."
There's much more at the newspaper's website, including a national map of districts with test scores that suspiciously improved from one year to the next and a list of eight cities that had "extreme swings in test scores" similar to those due to the "organized cheating in Atlanta."

Saying that "the tense geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine" could accelerate the already heavy flow of money coming out of Russia, Standard & Poor's on Friday cut that nation's credit rating to just above "junk" level.
What's more, S&P says it doesn't expect things to improve anytime soon:
"In our view, Russia's political institutions remain comparatively weak and political power is highly centralized. Protesters, opposition members, nongovernmental organizations, and liberal members of the political establishment have come under increasing pressure. We do not expect the government to decisively and effectively tackle the long-standing structural obstacles to stronger economic growth over our forecast horizon (2014-2017). These obstacles include high perceived corruption, comparatively weak rule of law, the state's pervasive role in the economy, and a challenging business and investment climate."
Also looming: More economic sanctions from the U.S. and its allies as they try to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from further interfering in Ukraine's affairs.
Bloomberg News says the downgrade puts Russia "on par with Brazil and Azerbaijan."
The BBC writes that "analysts said other credit rating agencies were likely to follow suit. 'Russia is going backwards as reflected by developments in relations with Ukraine and the West,' said Timothy Ash, analyst at Standard Bank. He said the move was 'bad for investment, bad for capital flows, and bad for broader political, economic reform and institutional reform.' "
Derek Halpenny, a foreign exchange analyst at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in London, said in a research note that the downgrade "will only reinforce the capital outflows while the Ukraine tensions persist," The New York Times adds.
Meanwhile, Russia's central bank on Friday raised interest rates. The Financial Times reports the bank "said that the decision was driven by 'increased inflationary risks,' which is a top concern for policy makers as Russians still have painful memories of previous episodes of currency devaluation and price increases in 1997-98 and 2008-09. The rouble has weakened 9 per cent so far this year and core inflation hit 6 per cent in March, above its target of 5 per cent."

Now that I had my fresh homemade pumpkin gnocchi , the only real question left was; What was I going to make with it first? Although I had a few ideas I just had to go with one of my favourite flavour combinations; pumpkin, gorgonzola and sage. I made a quick and easy sauce by melting the gorgonzola into some milk and cream to which I added some sage and a touch of nutmeg. In less time than it took to cook the gnocchi, the sauce was ready and when the gnocchi was cooked I tossed it in the sauce and served it with a garnish of julienned sage. Once again, the pumpkin, gorgonzola and sage flavour combination did not disappoint! The sweet pumpkin gnocchi was so good all covered in the creamy and tangy gorgonzola sauce which just clung to and all of it's ridges. I really enjoyed the soft and yet slightly chewy texture of the gnocchi and I am already looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow! Next time I think that I might try adding some sauted mushrooms.
Pumpkin Gnocchi in a Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cream
- 4 ounces gorgonzola or other blue cheese (crumbled)
- 2 leaves sage (chopped)
- 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 batch (about 1 pound) pumpkin gnocchi (cooked)
- 4 leaves sage (julienned)
- Heat the butter, milk, cream, gorgonzola, sage, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan until the gorgonzola has melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Toss the gnocchi in the sauce and serve garnished with sage.

text: At the end of last year, in one of the more interesting opinions of 2012, a federal judge upheld an employee's right to take Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave to care for her mother during a recreational trip to Las Vegas. The employee, Beverly Ballard, was a swimming instructor. Her mother, who had been diagnosed with end-stage congestive heart failure, won a trip to Las Vegas through the Fairy Godmother Foundation. Despite the fact that Ballard's employer denied her request for leave, Ballard accompanied her mother on the trip and was subsequently terminated for taking unauthorized time off. Ballard sued, claiming that the employer interfered with her ability to take FMLA leave to care for her mother. At issue was whether or not Ballard qualified for FMLA leave to care for her parent. There was no question that Ballard met the threshold eligibility requirements of FMLA based on her length of employment and number of service hours. Ballard also argued, and the court accepted as true, that she was her mother's primary care giver, which included Ballard preparing her mother's meals, administering her mother's insulin shots and medicine, tending to her mother's other medical needs, bathing her, transporting her, and providing emotional support. This case is unique, however, because the purpose of the trip was not for her mother to seek medical treatment. In the past, courts have typically dismissed FMLA lawsuits involving trips when the family member being cared for was not seeking treatment at a remote location. Ballard's attorney, however, argued that since she was still providing care to her mother in Las Vegas, even though she was on a purely recreational trip, the trip was one which qualified Ballard for leave. The FMLA, which was enacted in 1993, was created to entitle eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage. In prior cases, courts have mandated that caregiver leave under the FMLA should either be at home or part of in-patient treatment. Bucking this trend, the judge in the Ballard case ruled that it didn't matter where the employee provided care as long as she was, in fact, providing care. It's important to note that this case is now being appealed, so we will have to wait to see if this court's opinion holds. In the meantime, this opinion opens the door to a possible onslaught of lawsuits in which employees may seek to "stretch" the limits of FMLA to include caregiver-related activities not traditionally covered by the FMLA. So what should employers do now? • Start by reviewing current FMLA policies and procedures and make sure they reflect the current state of the law (but remember, the Ballard case is under appeal and not settled law at this point.) • Train all supervisory employees – even if they are not charged with the responsibility of administering FMLA – on how to respond to requests for FMLA leave and other types of leave that might trigger FMLA coverage. Sometimes an uninformed supervisor can create problems by not handling a request properly or in a timely manner. Leave FMLA decisions to the experts. • HR professionals and other employees charged with administering FMLA must take care to follow the notice and certification protocol so that an employer is in as best of a position as possible if a denial of leave is being contemplated. • If an employee's request contains sparse details, don't simply deny the request and assume the problem will go away. Employers can benefit from proactive HR professionals who work with employees to ensure all requests are timely addressed and that all appropriate information is available when determining whether a request is covered by the FMLA. • Whether or not an employee's request appears to qualify at the outset, be sure to create a paper trail that supports your decision to approve or deny the leave, as the case may be. • This may go without saying, but do not try to interfere with an employee's taking of FMLA or other leave as a pretext for terminating employees with performance issues. Be certain to follow the same policies and procedures equally for all employees. If an employee has performance issues, those issues should be addressed separate and apart from the FMLA process. • Choose your battles wisely. Even in those cases where you might well have the law on your side, there may be value in creating goodwill among your employees by allowing them to take leave where they may not otherwise be eligible for FMLA leave. In the Ballard case, for example, the employee's mother was dying. This may not have been the time to take a hard-line approach. Look at the big picture and weigh all risks and benefits, tangible and intangible, of the final decision. This is not to say that FMLA leave should be granted when there is a clear basis for denial, but thinking outside the box and affording the employee, for instance, a short unpaid leave, may ultimately allow an employer to avoid litigation and generate goodwill among its employees. • Finally, before denying any borderline FMLA leave requests, consult with legal counsel to make sure you are as protected as possible.

A European court ruled Wednesday that airlines flying into and out of European airports will have to pay a price for the carbon dioxide they emit when they burn jet fuel.
U.S. airlines, which had been fighting the idea in court, say the European Union is trying to force other countries to reduce carbon emissions. Europe currently limits carbon dioxide emissions from its major industries to curb global warming. The ruling cannot be appealed, and the decision is likely to end the dispute.
Air travel contributes only about 2 to 4 percent of the CO2 emissions worldwide. But Pamela Campos, an attorney with the Environmental Defense Fund, says that will grow.
"This is an area where we are seeing very, very fast growth in emissions, and it's also an area that's technologically tough, so we need to start now," she says.
As air traffic has climbed, so have emissions. But Airlines for America, which represents the U.S. industry, says U.S. airlines have done their part by becoming more fuel-efficient.
"U.S. airlines have improved their fuel efficiency 115 percent since 1978," says Nancy Young, the group's environmental director, "and so to get more carbon emissions reductions, the Europeans are essentially imposing a tax."
Young says it's not fair to impose Europe's solutions on the rest of the world. She adds that paying the European Union for emissions could add up to about $3 billion by 2020. She says airlines will decide how much of the extra cost to pass on to passengers.
Bill Hemmings, a program manager with the British group Transport and Environment, says the extra cost probably won't amount to more than about $20 per flight.
"It's a few euros, maybe 10 or 15 euros at the most on long-haul flights, and a few euros on short-haul flights," Hemmings says. "I mean, those sorts of fare fluctuations will happen thousands of times a day."
But opponents, which include the Obama administration and at least 20 other governments, say it's not really the cost they're going to the mat for.
"We are not opposed to an appropriate climate regime," says Young. "What we think, though, is that the EU scheme is both illegal and bad policy."
The airline group would prefer to work out an emissions agreement through the International Civil Aviation Organization, or ICAO. It's a U.N.-based organization that governs air travel policy for most of the world.
And that's a goal that Environmental Defense Fund lawyer Campos actually agrees with, but she argues that ICAO has dallied for years. She sees the court ruling as a kick in the pants.
"The opportunity here is to seize the momentum from Europe and break through the logjam at ICAO, and put in place a broad-based system that captures a much bigger percentage of the world's warming pollution from airplanes," she says.
The Obama administration is with the airlines in this so far, and could make it a diplomatic issue at the U.N.'s aviation organization.

A masked gunman killed a Yemeni man when he was on his way to work as a security official at the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, the AP and Reuters are reporting.
The Associated Press reports that Yemeni officials said the drive-by shooting was reminiscient of other attacks undertaken by the al-Qaida offshoot in Yemen.
The AP adds:
"The assassination resembles other attacks recently that have targeted Yemeni intelligence, military and security officials. Those attacks are believed to be in retaliation for a military offensive by Yemen's U.S.-backed government against Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which Washington considers the most dangerous offshoot of the global terror network.
"AQAP has called for attacks on U.S. embassies in a bid to exploit the anti-American sentiment that has swept the Middle East and other parts of the Muslim world in the past month over an anti-Islam film produced in the United States."
This attack comes at a time when al-Qaida is back in the national spotlight in the United States. As Mark reported, yesterday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened its probe into the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
The Obama administration has come under fire for first pinning the attack on a violent reaction to the American-made, anti-Muslim film. The administration later changed its assessment saying this was clearly a complex attack.
CBS News talked to a senior State Department official in WAshington who did not provide more details about the attack in Yemen, but said. "we are deeply saddened by this tragic incident involving a Yemeni employee of our Embassy in Sanaa, and we are working with Yemeni authorities."

10 Tips for the Common Hangover
Hangovers have long been the price of a night of overindulgence — and come January 1, you may be feeling the effects of one yourself. So how can you make it a little less painful?
- Take a Blowfish. The Alka-Seltzer-like fizzing tablets are the only hangover remedy approved by the FDA.
- Drink lots of water before you go to bed and when you get up. Alcohol dehydrates the body, which is one cause of the splitting headaches associated with hangovers.
- Chug a sports drink. When your body is breaking down alcohol, it pumps out lactic acid and other byproducts that slow down the production of sugar and electrolytes. Gatorade and other sports drinks replenish those reserves.
- Go easy on your morning coffee. Caffeine narrows blood vessels and boosts blood pressure, which could make you feel worse.
- Exercise. It may be the last thing you want to do, but vigorous exercise makes blood circulate three times faster than when you're resting — and the faster blood circulates through your liver and kidneys, the faster you'll purge the previous night's toxins.
- Drink a banana and honey milkshake. Bananas calm the stomach, honey rebuilds depleted blood sugar levels, and milk soothes and rehydrates. Bananas are also rich in electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, all of which can be severely depleted while drinking.
- Take vitamin B. A high-potency B-complex supplement will aid the alcohol metabolizing process, dilate blood vessels, and restore your energy levels. If you remember, take one before you go to bed — if not, pop one as soon as you wake up.
- Order a bitters and seltzer. A longtime favorite of bar and restaurant staffers, there isn't really an exact recipe for this one — but if you're at a New Year's Day brunch, any decent bartender will know exactly how to whip up the perfect concoction.
- Eat eggs. While there aren't any studies to support it, some believe the cysteine in eggs could help the liver break down the toxin acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol overconsumption.
- Avoid "the hair of the dog that bit you." Drinking more alcohol may make you feel better in the short term, but you're just prolonging the inevitable.

Nerve Surgery (Neuroma)
A neuroma is an abnormality of a nerve that has been damaged either by trauma or as a result of an abnormality of the foot. Neuromas occur most often in the ball of the foot, causing a pinched and inflamed nerve. In cases of chronic nerve pain from neuromas, surgery may be recommended.
During neuroma procedures, an incision is made on the top of the foot in the location of the neuroma, usually between the second and third toes or between the third and fourth toes. After the nerve is located, the surgeon cuts and removes it.
Neuroma surgery is generally performed on a same-day outpatient basis in the doctor's office or a surgery center using a local anesthetic. The incision will be covered with a dressing after the surgery, which must be kept dry until the sutures are removed, usually within 10 to 14 days after the surgery. Most patients are sent home with a surgical shoe, although crutches may be recommended in cases where the incision must be made on the bottom of the foot. Elevation and icing are important in the first few days following surgery to reduce swelling. Patients are generally restricted to limited walking until the sutures are removed. Generally, patients can return to normal shoe wear in about three weeks. The overall recovery time is usually four to six weeks.

To Cameron: Thank you for reminded us what really matters
Published 8:51 am Friday, January 11, 2013
Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough:
Over the years it has been a tradition at the first of the year to impart some words of wisdom in this space to your father, uncle and cousins, who double as my grandsons. Perhaps some of my observations were useful to them. Maybe some fell on deaf ears. I have never asked. Anyway, they are adults now; old enough and wise enough (I hope) to figure things out for themselves. So now it's just you and me, kid.
First, thank you for choosing me as your great-grandfather. Truthfully, we didn't have a say in the matter. This was all your momma and daddy's idea. You and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
There are so many things I want to teach you about life but the longer I am around you, the more I seem to learn from you. That is quite a confession to make to a 4-year-old, particularly since it is comes from one of the world's legendary know-it-alls. But it is true.
You have helped me rediscover that love is pure and unconditional. You don't know me well enough yet to understand what I can do for you or what I might not be willing to do for you. You don't care about that because you are too busy loving me for myself, not for what you can get out of the deal. When you are old enough to discern my shortcomings and inadequacies, I doubt that is going to change a thing. That is the way love works.
I admit I get a little jealous when I realize that you love a lot of other people just as much as you do me, maybe even more. When I think that way, you remind me that you have enough love to go around and that if I spent more time loving others and less time worrying about who loves me, I would be a lot happier. Love isn't a commodity to be rationed out. Plus, the more love you give, the more you get in return. Deep down inside I know that but you have shown me that I need to practice what I preach.
You have taught me that it is OK to have fun once in a while. You have brought out the little boy in me that has been missing for a long, long time. I really don't care what people think when they see us raking imaginary leaves with imaginary rakes in the yard. (At least I am not walking around with an imaginary leaf blower, like your grandfather. That really IS weird.)
You make us do some silly stuff and that's OK. I wasted so much of my life fretting over things that in hindsight weren't worth the time and effort. It is about time I learned to rake imaginary leaves.
Watching your dad toss you in the air scares the willies out of me. I wish he wouldn't do that. Then I see the big grin on your face and hear the squeals of delight and realize that you know Dad would never allow you to get hurt. That is because of the innate trust you have in him. I should learn to trust others. I have a tendency to try and solve every problem by myself. That is not only arrogant; it is unhealthy.
You came into this world shortly after we lost your dad's cousin and our oldest grandson, Zack. I don't know why God decided to take Zack in the prime of such a promising life. I'm just glad you are here to help us deal with the hurt. You have no idea what your presence means to us. By the way, your grandfather tells me you enjoy going to church. So do I. Together, maybe we can begin to fathom how big God is and how small and insignificant we are.
At my age, I take nothing for granted. This could be the last letter I ever get to write to you. I hope not but, if so, remember that your good name is all you have. It is easy to lose and hard to get back, so be careful what you say and do. Believe in God and believe in yourself. Make this a better world by your actions. There is no question that you have already made mine better. Thank you for the lessons.
You can reach Dick Yarbrough at firstname.lastname@example.com or P.O. Box 725373, Atlanta, GA 31139.

We need you to lift us up in prayer like you never have before. Harper is in VERY critical condition and they are going to fly her to AR Children's hospital. It is very, very serious and the NICU doctor did not give us a favorable report. Scott and his parents will be driving there tonight. My parents and I will be driving there in the morning as soon as I can get out of the hospital. We know that God is soveriegn. WE KNOW that God is the same right now to us as He was to us this morning when we were so excited and praising Him as we drove to the hospital. We know that He loves us and no matter what happens - we will continue to praise Him.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to survive if we lose her. I just want to be honest with you. I'm putting this on my blog right now because we have had over 30,000 hits today and I need 30,000 of God's people to be praying for us. Thank you in advance for getting on your knees for our precious daughter.
Harper Brown Stamps was born at 7:03 PM. She weighed 9lb and 12oz.
She is having some trouble breathing, so they have taken her to the NICU to check her heart. They have had to incubate her - they are doing tests to see what's going on.
Also, Kelly lost a lot of blood in delivery and has really low blood pressure. We would really appreciate your prayers for both mother and daughter.
Scott & Kelly Stamps

Blue Racer Midstream, LLC ("Blue Racer") announced today that it has secured a five-year, $800 million credit facility, which can be expanded to $1 billion in the future. Formed in December 2012, Blue Racer is a joint venture between Caiman Energy II, LLC ("Caiman") and Dominion Resources (NYSE: D) ("Dominion") dedicated to providing Utica Shale producers with midstream services and the ability to receive the highest value for their products.
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("Wells Fargo") and RBS Securities Inc. ("RBS") acted as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers on the credit facility. A syndicate of 19 banks participated in the credit facility, with Comerica Bank, RBC Capital Markets, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., and U.S. Bank National Association also acting as joint lead arrangers. The transaction closed on Friday, Aug. 16.
Together with the private equity commitment from Caiman and the midstream assets contributed by Dominion, the credit facility supports the execution of Blue Racer's aggressive plan to develop midstream assets in the Utica Shale over the next two to three years, including natural gas gathering, processing, fractionation and NGL transportation.
Jack Lafield, Blue Racer's CEO said: "We are delighted to have completed this financing with Wells Fargo and RBS and such a prestigious group of additional lenders. The size of the credit facility is a testament to our strong relationship with the financial community, the strength of Caiman and Dominion's track records and the tremendous response Blue Racer has received from our producer customers in the Utica Shale. The proceeds will allow us to continue to execute our growth strategy for Blue Racer's midstream asset base while diversifying our sources of capital. Our goal is to continue to be the Utica's premier midstream company by providing superior customer service and the region's best opportunity to gather and process rich gas and market NGLs."
News of the credit facility follows last week's announcement that Dominion transferred ownership of the Natrium Natural Gas Processing and Fractionation Plant to Blue Racer on Aug. 9, 2013. With cryogenic processing capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) already online, Natrium is the first large-scale processing plant to serve rich-gas production in the Utica Shale. Blue Racer has already started construction of a second 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant, Natrium II, which will bring the facility's total processing capacity to 400 MMcf/d by the end of the first quarter of 2014.
Formed In December 2012, Blue Racer Midstream is a $1.5 billion joint venture between Caiman Energy II, LLC and Dominion dedicated to providing Utica Shale producers with midstream services and the ability to receive the highest value for their products. With midstream assets strategically located in the heart of the Utica Shale and a robust expansion plan in place, Blue Racer's services include gathering, processing, fractionation, and natural gas liquids transportation and marketing.
