When i open this site to the new posts section. (where I start to see whats new!),
I'm getting all these threads of polls coming up like they have new messages-
and when you look at the link, the latest reply to that thread was 2008....
WHY are they showing up as new threads or new comments when theres been no activity on it for 3-5 years ????
seems to be lots of them displaying lately- So instead of 2-6 new comments/posts, there are 15-25 (but half of them are fake-new posts!) :$
I think it is related to the ELECTED posts.....

It was a beautiful late-summer evening, and we were grilling up some venison brats and sitting down to enjoy a cookout on the deck washed down with a couple of cold Samuel Adams Octoberfests.
The arrival of Sam's Octoberfest is an anticipated event on the calendar because it's yet another sign that fall-the most anticipated time of year for many outdoors-lovers-is just around the corner.
Then the yellow jackets rolled in, buzzing and dive bombing the table with alarming regularity. They landed on paper plates, they tried to dive into our beers. They flew around our heads.
They were as aggressive as they were annoying.
Yet another sign of fall, the yellow jackets were bad enough to drive us off the deck and into the cold comfort of a yellow jacket-free house before one of us got stung.
I'm not a fan of wasps and hornets under any circumstances-they rank right up there with snakes on the list of creatures that can get me dancing-but I especially hate yellow jackets.
Much as I love this time of year, yellow jackets definitely are a downside.
Like most creatures, yellow jackets have their benefits, I suppose, but they can absolutely spoil time on the deck or even in a boat, where I've been dive-bombed more often than anyone should have to endure.
And always, it's this time of year, as summer days grow shorter and mornings occasionally carry the brisk freshness of cooler days on the horizon.
Yellow jacket season, I call it.
I'm pretty good at avoiding angry wasps and hornets-I credit the dancing reflex for that, at least in part-but when I do get stung, it's generally this time of year when yellow jackets begin to swarm.
My worst yellow jacket encounter-by far-occurred a decade ago about this time, when a friend and I were fishing cats on the Red River near Oslo, Minn.
I was drinking a can of Ruby Red Squirt-no, it wasn't Octoberfest-and had set it down on the seat. Maybe I was reeling in a fish, baiting a hook or netting a cat for my fishing partner; I don't remember exactly why I set down the can.
I vividly remember, though, what happened when I picked it up and brought it to my lip for another sip. I hadn't notice the black-and-yellow scourge that had landed on the rim of the can.
Until the yellow jacket stung me on the upper lip.
Instinctively, I slammed down the can and uttered a word that can't be printed here. My top lip felt hard and sore, but ice cubes from the cooler kept the swelling in check.
It was uncomfortable but not unbearable. And amazingly, my lip was back to normal within the next day or so.
Bad as that encounter was, it could have been worse. My fishing partner is allergic to wasp and hornet stings and wasn't carrying the epinephrine injector he is supposed to keep with him in case he gets stung.
If he had been the recipient of that untimely sting, we would have been making a beeline for the emergency room.
The moral of the story, I guess, is that everyone who spends time outdoors needs to be on the lookout for yellow jackets, which are at their worst this time of year, to avoid getting stung.
The scourge will last a few more weeks until a couple of good, hard frosts drive the insects back to wherever it is they spend their time.
For now, be careful out there. And if anyone has a remedy for keeping yellow jackets at bay until stinging season passes, I'm all ears.

Some 10,000 Medicare patients die within seven days of Emergency Department discharges annually. By Christine Kern, contributing writer
There are a number of issues and trends impacting the healthcare industry that should be of particular note for home health providers as the push to provide better care to more individuals continues.
No question, mobile devices have transformed home health care delivery. Highly portable laptops, tablets and smartphones make it simple and convenient for nurses, therapists and other clinicians to document vital data, access patient records and check drug interactions – right in patient homes.
Fueled by aging Baby Boomers, the need for coordinated, team-based patient care is spilling beyond hospital walls into the quickly expanding realm of home health and hospice care.
Now that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has introduced a new Quality of Patient Care Star Rating system to help consumers make better-informed decisions about home health care providers, home health agencies face more pressure than ever to deliver excellent patient outcomes, operate efficiently and prove themselves trusted partners to hospitals, physicians and other stakeholders.
Running a nursing home can be a challenging assignment. From the health and safety of every resident and staff member to the daily task of maintaining a sprawling facility – it's a demanding job.

You can rebuild your e15t box with n13 internals!
1 st get n13 box...then the crown wheel(4.11:1)unbolts off the n13
diff and bolts straght on to the ET diff(still using ET
Take the crown wheel from your n13 gearbox, and put it on your n12 diff.
You'll find that the n13 diff just won't sit and spin in the n12
bellhousing, which is why we reuse the n12 one, but with the appropriate
gear diameter.
You need to do this so that the final gear on the output shaft of the
n13 gearset matches it's original counterpart, the crown wheel.
> i also know that the gear train needs to be swaped over...but am
> unsure of if it is a straight swap....
Swap EVERYTHING.
Pull everything that is n12 related out of your existing gearbox,
hanging onto the diff.
Keep the bellhousing part of the gearbox, aka the bit that bolts to the
engine, you don't need the cover that goes over all the gears
You then take the n13 input shaft, and put it in the n12 bellhousing,
likewise with the output shaft. Keep the n13 selectors with the n13
Now, SWAP THE SELECTOR SHAFT.
This is very important. Additionally, I found I even had to swap the
reverse gear section that bolts through the side of the bellhousing on
into the side of the input shaft.
It's an ass to get out, you'll need a really big headed phillips
screwdriver to get them out.
So take this out of the n13 bellhousing, and put it in your n12
bellhousing, along with the n13 selector.
To remove the selector, it's actually in two pieces, you'll need to
knock out the split pins (2, one inside the other) about half way down
the selector - then you can get each half out.
Basically everything gets swapped over. Oh with one nasty exception -
the speedo drive, you use your original speedo drive BECAUSE the speedo pickup is *after* all
the gear ratios, it's going at wheelspeed, not 'diff speed' hence no
matter what gearset you have in there, the speedo is still spinning at
the same speed as your wheels, so you don't use the n13 one. Another
trap for the unlucky amoungst us.
The dog selector gear has teeth on both sides of it. These are
what crunch when you don't fully engage gears. They are all made the
same, even the one that engages 5th gear. This means one side isn't
used. So, when doing the re-assembly, this gear can be popped off
and swapped end for end giving brand new never used teeth to mesh
with. Just be a little careful as there are 3 locating pins which
are spring loaded, these need to be pushed into place to allow the
dog gear back on the shaft.

Many to follow in leader's footsteps
The following essay is part of a series in which dozens of women will reveal what women they most admire. The series is part of "Women Rule," a unique effort this fall by POLITICO, Google and The Tory Burch Foundation exploring how women are leading change in politics, policy and their communities. See more essays here.
When Nancy Pelosi was elected speaker of the House in 2007, she cracked the marble ceiling. As a former member of Congress — and more importantly, as a mother of two daughters — I was thrilled. But I was also very moved.
Story Continued Below
It didn't matter that I was a Republican and she was Democratic. Finally, 90 years after the first female was elected to Congress in 1917, girls across America could see a woman leading one of the most powerful institutions in the world. But what moved me even more than that "first" was the image of the speaker in the well of the House, then at the podium, flanked by so many eager, proud and hopeful young faces, with a baby wrapped comfortably in her arms.
( WOMEN RULE VIDEO: A look at some of women stepping up and taking charge)
Pelosi embraced her status as the first woman speaker, never downplaying her gender the way so many before her might have. She turned motherhood and grandmotherhood into a sign of strength and power.
And powerful she has been. To her, being a "woman speaker" meant more than showing leadership on issues traditionally viewed as "women's" issues — although Pelosi did pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and passed child nutrition and food safety legislation.
It meant using her skills, experience and perspective — as a political pro, community leader and insightful legislator — to serve as an incredibly effective, accomplished leader.
Pelosi joins her daughter, Alexandra, for a conversation this Wednesday at Women Rule, as she shares her thoughts on how women can use their experiences — professionally and personally — to lead. And who better to share this advice?
( Also on POLITICO's Women Rule: All hands on deck)
Both Democrats and Republicans will tell you that tenacity is one of Pelosi's defining characteristics — she is a tireless, determined doer; she gets done what she sets out to do. Her record in office reflects that. She helped to pass a remarkable volume of legislation tackling some of the toughest issues of our time, including health care reform.
Those who know her, will also tell you that relationships are at the core of Pelosi's leadership style. I saw it firsthand; I served in Congress with Pelosi for seven years. We both proudly hail from Italian-American families, have fathers who served in Congress and are moms to incredible daughters. During my years in the House, we disagreed from time to time, but Pelosi never made it personal. Even during the toughest of debates, she would always make a point of asking me about my father and daughter.
Finally, Pelosi's leadership is guided by her unwavering moral compass. Never has she veered away from her core values or the causes that inspired her to serve in the first place. She has made combating HIV and AIDS a priority since she first took office in 1987, advocating for initiatives that have saved the lives of millions and helped some of the most vulnerable men, women and children — not only in her San Francisco district but across the country and world.
( Also on POLITICO's Women Rule: Marks of Leadership event)
For a long time, women in leadership positions didn't have enough good examples of what a woman leader looks like. Today, thanks to leaders like Pelosi, a generation of women — in politics and beyond — has grown up with an example of a woman leading with strength.
Women still encounter too many ceilings in politics, business and in my own industry, technology, but times are changing quickly. As Pelosi famously said upon taking the speakership, women "waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working." Nancy Pelosi was among them, and as a result — and she said it best — "for our daughters and our granddaughters, the sky is the limit, anything is possible for them."
Susan Molinari is a former Republican member of Congress from New York, and currently VP, Public Policy & Government Affairs for Google.

One of the wonderful things about Star Wars was that even though you couldn't understand some characters, you still understood them. But what if you could plug in Chewbacca's growls and R2-D2's beepity boops into Google Translate to find out what they're saying? Nate Smith of Awkward Elevator did just that, and it's exactly what you expected.
All that groaning from Chewie was just because he needed some tea! Feed the poor sap. And I can totally imagine R2-D2 say this. In fact, that's what I always assumed he was saying this whole time:
But the real kicker here is translating Star Wars into JJ Abrams. Because that's what's going to happen for Episode VII. Everything is just going to be this:

The Barbara Grier and Donna McBride Collection was an early acquisition by the Hormel Center. The bulk of the collection was accessioned in 1992, with additions made for several years following. Grier, a lifelong lesbian bibliographer, activist, publisher, and reviewer, is outspoken about her many contributions to the development and promotion of lesbian literature.
JEB (Joan E. Biren)
Barbara Grier, c.1972
Gelatin silver print Barbara Grier was born in 1933 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and realized that she was a lesbian at the age of twelve. Reportedly, she researched the topic at the library before announcing her conclusion to her mother. At the age of eighteen she fell in love with Helen Bennett, a librarian from Kansas City, Missouri, with whom she lived for twenty years, in what she referred to as a marriage. A collector of lesbian writings, Grier subscribed to the Ladder, the magazine of the Daughters of Bilitis. She began writing brief book notes for the magazine under the pen name Gene Damon. Soon, Grier was contributing articles, short stories, and full-length book reviews under various pseudonyms including Gladys Casey, Vern Niven, and HB (in honor of Helen Bennett). Some issues of the Ladder are comprised almost entirely of her writings. Grier also wrote for ONE, Mattachine Review, and other homophile publications. Grier worked as the Ladder's poetry and fiction editor from 1966 to 1968, when she assumed the general editorship. As editor, she wanted to take the journal in a more activist direction, and, in what is still considered a controversial coup, she announced that the Ladder was no longer associated with the Daughters of Bilitis. The Ladder did not prove financially viable, and ceased publication in 1972.
Inspired by Jeannette H. Foster's 1956 study, Sex Variant Women in Literature, Grier and Lee Stuart published The Lesbian in Literature in 1967 - a bibliography that listed "all known books in the English language, in the general field of literature, concerned with Lesbianism, or having Lesbian characters." Grier compiled two subsequent editions of the publication in 1975 and 1981.
Claire Morgan (Patricia Highsmith)
The Price of Salt
New York: Bantam Books, 1952 When Anyda Marchant approached her with the idea of publishing her first novel, The Latecomer, Grier was able to take advantage of her connections with the lesbian and feminist community to establish Naiad Press. Naiad Press was conceived of as a movement press—by lesbians, about lesbians, and for lesbians—and with the further distinction that for every financially successful title published, there would be at least one important or scholarly work that would not break even financially. In addition to the many mysteries, romances, and science fiction novels it launched, Naiad has reprinted classics such as Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt and Ann Bannon's Beebo Brinker series, as well as such nonfiction titles as the controversial Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence, was edited by Rosemary Curb and Nancy Manahan.

Lawyers for Greenpeace are not aware of the reasons for the move. Greenpeace International executive director Kumi Naidoo said:
"The detainees shouldn't be in jail at all. They should be free to join their families and restart their lives. St Petersburg has some daylight in the winter months, unlike Murmansk. Families and consular officials will now find it easier to visit the thirty. But there is no guarantee that conditions inside the new detention centre will be any better than in Murmansk. In fact, they could be worse. There is no justification whatsoever to keep the Arctic 30 in any prison for a day longer. They are prisoners of conscience who acted out of a determination to protect us all, and they should be free."
Greenpeace today released photographs from inside the Murmansk detention centre where the detainees have been held for over a month. The pictures show the details of the small cells and the conditions the thirty have endured (1).
Prosecuting authorities in Russia were under fire today after it was revealed that they have failed to lift charges of piracy against the Arctic 30, despite pledging to do so.
Russia's powerful Investigative Committee announced last week that the piracy charges – which carry a 15-year jail sentence – would be replaced with charges of hooliganism. But when the thirty detainees were brought before the Committee over the course of this week, the piracy charge was not withdrawn. Instead each of them was simply served with the additional charge of hooliganism.
They now stand accused of both offences, which carry a maximum sentence of 15 and 7 years, respectively.

Advocates call for Nebraska tobacco tax increase
Anti-smoking advocates are calling on lawmakers to increase the state's tobacco tax as part of their reforms to Nebraska's tax system.
The American Cancer Society's advocacy arm released a poll Friday that said 68 percent of likely voters in Nebraska support an increase, while 29 percent oppose it. The group will present its poll to the Legislature's Tax Modernization Committee, which is meeting at the Capitol.
David Holmquist of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network says a tobacco tax increase would help reduce health care costs and discourage youths from smoking.
"It's about keeping kids from starting smoking so we can save lives. The bottom line in saving lives," Holmquist said.
Raising it a dollar would bring in $72 million dollars annually. Holmquist says lawmakers could use the revenue for property tax relief, or for smoking cessation programs.
-- Video: Lawmakers may consider tobacco tax hike proposal
Nebraska's cigarette tax is 64 cents a pack, the 38th highest nationwide. The national average is $1.53 per pack.
Jim Harman, who sells discount cigarettes in Lincoln, said smokers have always been an easy target when government needs money.
"My biggest complaint has always been you're penalizing people for a legal product," Harman said.
State Sen. Beau McCoy, from Omaha, questions the veracity of the poll.
"I would really doubt there is support that's being reported for this position, and again, I don't see this as a stable source of revenue for property tax relief," McCoy said.
A similar bill to raise cigarette taxes, which would have increased the state tax to 70 cents per pack, stalled last year.

Women's World Cup Final Inspiring Awful Pearl Harbor Comments
Earlier this year, after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami devastated much of Japan, various "patriots," ahem, claimed via Facebook and Twitter that the disaster was "karmic payback" for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Apparently their work making America look terrible wasn't finished!
The haters have come out in full force once again for today's women's World Cup Final match between Japan and USA USA, currently underway in Frankfurt, Germany. As we type, "Pearl Harbor" is a trending topic on Twitter, and is also popping up a lot on FaceBook—largely because people are using it to make anti-Japanese "jokes" and comments. Japan Probe and 8Asians are just two websites that have documented some of the awfulness, including this Facebook status update from a guy whose profile picture depicts a happy-looking little baby: "I couldn't care less about the earthquakes & tsunami's [sic] that have crippled Japan. I hope the U.S. women eviscerate & embarrass the Japs on Sunday. U.S.A.! U.S.A! U.S.A!!" Sigh.
Unless you are a vengeful monster, you will be heartened to know that many, many other people are using their Facebook and Twitter accounts to condemn all the hatred they're seeing pop up in their feeds. Still, it saddens us that a day for celebrating some fantastic women athletes and their achievements has become for some an excuse to attack other people.

Update October, 2014: Lots of things have gotten easier over the years.
These days, the easy way to fix this set of things is with the Pull Request workflow, which is essentially the Integration Manager workflow discussed here (probably).
- Use github or bitbucket or somebody that makes the PR workflow easy
- Delegate a person as integration manager, who will pull or comment on the PR
- Require contributors to rebase their own PR branch before pulling if there are conflicts.
Update: Just for clarification, I'm not opposed to merges. I'm only opposed to unintentional merges (especially with a git pull). This followup article describes a simple way to rebase most of the time without even thinking about it). Also, for local development I love the
git merge --squash method described by joachim below.
In this post I'm going to try to get you to adopt a specific rebase-based workflow, and to avoid (mostly) the merge workflow.
What is the Merge Workflow?
The merge workflow consists of:
git commit -m "something"
git pull # this does a merge from origin and may add a merge commit
git push # Push back both my commit and the (possible) merge commit
Note that you normally are forced to do the pull unless you're the only committer and you committed the last commit.
Why Don't I Want the Merge Workflow?
As we saw in Avoiding Git Disasters, the multiple-committer merge workflow has very specific perils due to the fact that every committer for a time has responsibility for what the other committers have committed.
These are the problems with the merge workflow:
- It has the potential for disaster, as that merge and merge commit have to be handled correctly by every committer. That said, most committers will have no trouble with it and will not mess it up. But if you have lots of committers, and they don't all understand Git, or they are using a GUI that hides the actual results from them, watch out.
- Your history becomes a mess. It has all kinds of inexplicable merge commits (which you typically don't look inside to see what's there) and the history (gitk) becomes useless.
- Debugging using
git bisectis confused massively due to the merge commits.
When Is the Merge Workflow OK?
The merge workflow will do you no damage at all if you
- Only have one committer (or a very small number of committers, and you trust them all)
- You don't care much about reading your history.
OK, What is Rebasing?
First, definitions:
- A branch is a separate line of work. You may have seen these before in other VCS's, but in Git they're so easy to use that they're addictive and life-altering. You can expose branches in the public repository (a public branch) or they may never get off of your machine (a topical branch).
- A public branch is one that more than one person pulls from. In Drupal, 7.x-1.x for most modules and themes would be a public branch.
- A topical branch (or feature branch) is a private branch that you alone are using, and will not exposed in the public repository.
- A tracking branch is a local branch that knows where its remote is, and that can push to and pull from that remote. Assuming a remote named "origin" and a public branch named "7.x-1.x", we could create a tracking branch with
git branch --track 7.x-1.x origin/7.x-1.x, or with newer versions of git,
git checkout --track origin/7.x-1.x
The fundamental idea of rebasing is that you make sure that your commits go on top of the "public" branch, that you "rebase" them so that instead of being related to some commit way back when you started working on this feature, they get reworked a little so they go on top of what's there now.
- Don't do your work on the public branch (Don't work on master or 6.x-1.x or whatever). Instead, work on a "topical" or "feature" branch, one that's devoted to what you want to do.
- When you're ready to commit something, you rebase onto the public branch, plopping your work onto the very tip of the public branch, as if it were a single patch you were applying.
Here's the approach. We'll assume that we already have a tracking branch 7.x-1.x for the public 7.x-1.x branch.
git checkout 7.x-1.x # Check out the "public" branch
git pull # Get the latest version from remote
git checkout -b comment_broken_links_101026 # topical branch
... # do stuff here.. Make commits.. test...
git fetch origin # Update your repository's origin/ branches from remote repo
git rebase origin/7.x-1.x # Plop our commits on top of everybody else's
git checkout 7.x-1.x # Switch to the local tracking branch
git pull # This won't result in a merge commit
git rebase comment_broken_links_101026 # Pull those commits over to the "public" branch
git push # Push the public branch back up, with my stuff on the top
There are ways to simplify this, but I wanted to show it explicitly. The fundamental idea is that I as a developer am taking responsibility to make sure that my work goes right in on top of the everybody else's work. And that it "fits" there - that it doesn't require any magic or merge commits.
Using this technique, your work always goes on top of the public branch like a patch that is up-to-date with current HEAD. This is very much like the CVS patch workflow, and results in a clean history.
For extra credit, you can use
git rebase -i and munge your commits into a single commit which has an excellent commit message, but I'm not going to go there today.
Merging and Merge Conflicts
Any time you do a rebase, you may have a merge conflict, in which Git doesn't know how to put your work on top of the work others have done. If you and others are working in different spaces and have your responsibilities well separated, this will happen rarely. But still, you have to know how to deal with it.
Every OS has good merge tools available which work beautifully with Git. Working from the command line you can use
git mergetool when you have a conflict to resolve the conflict. We'll save that for another time.
Branch Cleanup
You can imagine that, using this workflow, you end up with all kinds of useless, abandoned topical branches. Yes you do. From time to time, clean them up with
git branch -d comment_broken_links_101026
or, if you haven't ever merged the topical branch (for example, if you just used it to prepare a patch)
git branch -D comment_broken_links_101026
If you read the help for
git rebase it will tell you "Be careful. You shouldn't rewrite history that will be exposed publicly because everybody will hate you.". Note, though, that the way we're using rebase here, we only plop our commit(s) right on top, and then push. It does not change the public history. Of course there are other ways of using rebase that could change publicly-exposed history, and that is frowned upon.
This looks more complicated than the merge workflow. It is. It is not hard. It is valuable.
If you have improvements, suggestions, or alternate workflows to suggest, please post in the comments. If you find errors or things that can be stated more clearly or correctly, I'll fix the post.
I will follow up before long with a post on the "integration manager" workflow, which is essentially the github model. Everybody works in their own repositories, which are pseudo-private, and then when they have their work ready, they rebase it onto the public branch of the integration manager, push their work to the pseudo-private repo, and ask the integration manager to pull from it.

The one important omission from this workflow is updating your working branch with changes in the public branch before you are ready to push your changes.

I'm not rebasing to release a feature. I'm in the "... # do stuff here.. Make commits.. test..." step, and i want the latest code. The detail in this "..." step is even more important if the feature branch will be a public branch also (re: Larry and yourself below), but regardless, the question is how do you recommend the feature branch we are working on follow the public 7.x-1.x in your example?
- Log in to post comments
I am using similar workflow. The problem is when I do rebase 2nd and 3rd time I have to resolve all the same conflicts that I've already addressed first time. Suggestions?

I tried setting rere.enabled to true after getting into the situation where rebasing resulted in too many conflicts - didn't work, I'm guessing I have to do this before the first conflict.
Sometimes, all you want to do is chuck your personal clone and start fresh from your remote. Seems to me that you rarely want to do otherwise. When I do "git rebase" and the code for my local head matches the code for the remote, I'm desperately hoping that the command will just erase my history and make it identical to that of the remote. I know "git rebase" is doing something much more elegant, but I want stupid and obvious.
My workflow is to delete and reclone whenever things get just a little hairy. That works great.
- Log in to post comments
That works great iff:
- You are the only person working on a feature.
- You never need to share that feature with anyone else until it's done and "ready to be committed (pushed)"
If I'm working on something that takes a week to do, I absolutely don't want to leave it on my laptop and nowhere else for all that time. I want it backed up to a remote repo, I want my colleagues to be able to review it and point out what a stupid thing I just did, etc. That means pushing any but the smallest feature branches to the remote authoritative server at some point, after which rebasing is a no-no (for very good reasons).
How would you resolve that? Go ahead and use merge for that?
- Log in to post comments
Right up until that last part. :-) If you have your master branch, and a big-new-feature branch that 5 people have been working on via local micro-branches while the master branch still had bug fixing going on, how would you handle finishing big-new-feature? It sounds like you're suggesting that one person rebase their copy onto master and then do a fast-forward merge, which would then invalidate everyone else's copy of big-new-feature. That violates what I understood to be the first rule of rebasing: Once you push, don't do that.
- Log in to post comments
Presumably you could do a merge at the 'end' of your feature branch? This would accurately represent the development history, as it happened in parallel and was then added to the main branch.
- Log in to post comments
It would be great to see a more detailed breakdown of how this works. I'm not quite grasping things yet and I think this is the most common method of working:
1) Start working on feature X locally.
2) Somehow get changes onto staging server for client / co-worker review.
3) Make changes locally.
4) Repeat #2 and #3 as many times as necessary.
5) Get feature onto production branch and deploy.
And as Crell mentions this whole process may itself be on some mega feature that itself needs to get onto the real production branch.
According to everyone's claims Git is apparently great at merging. But it's unfortunate that it requires using three times as many commands as you would use with SVN. Many of which seem to be different words for the same thing (fetch, pull, and checkout all seem to update the current code with what's new in the repository). The increased confusion might not actually be worth it especially when there's people that need to work with the repository that don't have the abstract thinking skills of a developer (themers, clients that commit stuff, project managers).

fetch pulls down new commit objects from a remote, but does nothing else.
merge moves a branch marker to a new commit object, or creates a new joined commit object if necessary.
Pull does both of those. It's best to think of pull as "fetch && merge /".
checkout changes which branch is currently the working copy.
Having used both, I definitely prefer Git over SVN at this point (and anything over CVS). That doesn't mean there aren't confusing bits, though. :-)

When I'm ready to bring my feature branch into the main branch, I merge rather than rebase, though I must admit having just tried the rebase technique, it's identical.
What you can do with merge however, is squash your entire branch down to one commit. If your branch is for a single bug, and in exploring and fixing that bug you've made lots of local commits (which is what git lets you do and why it's great), you don't need the whole world to see your commits that fix typos, remove whitespace, remove swearwords you put it comments while you were headdeasking and so on ;)
Once my feature has been rebased to the latest head of the main branch, I go:
git checkout main
git merge --squash feature
This puts the whole of the feature branch into the current tree and adds it, but does not commit it. It's equivalent to doing:
git checkout feature
git diff main > feature.patch
git checkout main
patch -p1 < feature.patch
git add .
- Log in to post comments
What confuses me about the final rebase is this: I reread the git man page for rebase yesterday and according to that (and some head-scratching), doing this git rebase comment_broken_links_101026 ought to replay the master branch on top of the feature branch, and hence put your local commits *before* the remote commits you've just pulled in.
... which having tried it on a setup with new commits on master, is what happens.
- Log in to post comments
Aha! Yes, that all makes sense.
What I was missing was that once the topic branch is on a straight line ahead of 7.x-1.x, then a rebase has the desired effect. Which as you say, is identical to a 'git merge topic'.
I think that saying merge for this operation is preferable, as results in a clear mnemonic: rebase onto master branches, merge in topic branches.
But overall, --squash is the workflow I prefer for anything that's going to be more than a few hunks of diff. For me, the huge advantage is that on my topic branch I can work however I please: make tiny commits for typos, changes of variable names in my new code, and so on. I've often found that when working on a particularly thorny problem, I get to a point where it all *works* but it's a mess, and then I run the risk of accidentally breaking it again during my clean-up. With this workflow, I can just commit the messy version with a big 'Hurrah this works!' commit, and then get started on tidying up ;)

This is perhaps the clearest and best explanation of the most commonly wanted git-workflow I've ever seen.
Immensely useful to see and have you comment on the different options when "ending" a topic branch, thanks!

Did you do the merge on the original repo, or on the repo after the rebase. Because I was confused, because you did not get a merge commit on the repo after your "git merge" without the --no-ff. However when I checked out your example and performed the merges "git merge topic" and "git merge --no-ff topic" give absolutely the same result (which they should, since the branches diverged an a fast-forward is not possible).
The only way a fast forward and the a no-ff merge can differ is if one of the two commit is the merge base, as for example 7.x-1.x after the rebase (but not before).

I am a bit lost here, new to git.
if we wanted to make each feature a public branch with that branch eventually being merged back into master how would we apply your rebase model command by command?
# setup some public repos feature1 and feature2 will both be public with several people working on them
git checkout master
git fetch
git rebase -p origin/master
git checkout -b feature1
git push origin feature1
git checkout master
git fetch
git rebase -p origin/master
git checkout -b feature2
git push origin feature2
# checkout feature 1 get the latest and setup a local private branch for work
git checkout feature1
git fetch
git rebase -p origin/feature1
git checkout -b feature1_private
# do some work on our feature1_private branch
work work work
git commit -am "added some stuff"
work work work
git commit -am "added more"
#once done working we update feature 1 with any changes from origin
git checkout feature1
git fetch
git rebase -p origin/feature1
# then switch back to our private feature and rebase it on the updated feature1
git checkout feature1_private
git rebase -i --autosquash feature1
# then merge the private feature back in to the public feature
git checkout feature1
git merge --no-ff feature1_private
Then when we were all done with the public feature to bring it back into master what would we do?
git checkout master
git fetch
git rebase -p origin/master
git merge --no-ff feature1
Or are we going about this all wrong??

I figured as much, I have been doing a lot of research on git and the Gitgub Flow, I combined my readings from you and a few other sources into a tutorial along with a post-receive hook I wrote for deploying websites with the GitHub Flow model. http://www.exsyshost.com/clients/knowledgebase/142/Using-Gitolite-to-sec...
If you scroll past all the pre-setup stuff I outlined a detailed workflow then followed that with some aliases to make the workflow short and easy to remember.
Thanks for your article it was extremely helpful in ,e understanding the correct way to handle things.

So, consider a feature branch that has 5 commits, worked on by one dev, and pushed (so it's now a nominally public branch). Now suppose that the task has been assigned to another dev (me!) and I want to add a commit or two and squash the whole thing down to a single commit using `git rebase -i`.
In principle, this is changing history. And until I push, no harm done.
But *if* I can be sure that no one has branched off those 5 public commits in the public history, then is it fair to assume that a `git push --force` will not be problematic for any other devs? In particular, when the original dev does his own fetch/pull on this branch, he'll just see the "new" history and his old commits are - if not gone, then at least - not (easily) accessible. Is that right?

Thanks for the article, found it very interesting. I use Bazaar which is nowhere near this complicated so it's good preparation for the Drupal switch over.

It isn't Git that's complicated here, it's the workflow that is complicated. You could have just as complicated workflows in Bazaar if you wanted as well. This article provides a good overview of similar workflow options in Bazaar:

Thanks, great post!

Thanks for your article.
Isn't this workflow make it more difficult to revert some feature? How do you remember at which point in the history you started? Have I to use a tag each time?
For now I'm using git-flow (merge based workflow) because I'm not alone, and I believe git-flow is easier to explain than this rebase style method. Furthermore, I use github as a mean of synchronizing my work on many different computer. Isn't this workflow would force me to make some git push -f feature-branch
each time I rebase locally?
I also have a difficulty to understand why having a linear history is better? For me it feels more like loosing some information. As "a branch = a feature" is a valuable information for me. Or I may didn't understood something about this workflow.
- Log in to post comments
First of all let me thank you for the interesting articles on Drupal and Git,
I really appreciate you taking the time to publish your vision!
I am contacting you to ask what your approach would be to handle multiple
repositories, as follows:
- a developer uses releases from an upstream repository, say the Acquia git
- on a development machine, the developer adds contrib and custom modules
- on a production server, the result of the development is published
What would be the best way to organize this workflow? Especially getting all
git config files right seems hard. From time to time I would want to be able
to quickly change something on the production server and merge it on the
development machine. This would break the "flow" from upstream repository to
development to production, and I am not sure how to avoid the merge workflow
you discussed earlier.
- Log in to post comments
maybe I'm just not getting it, but could you explain the difference between what you are showing and:
git pull # Get the latest version from remote
git checkout 7.x-1.x # Switch to the local tracking branch
git checkout -b comment_101026 # create private feature branch
... # do stuff here.. Make commits.. test... ... this has taken some time, so:
git pull # since we only worked in the feature branch,
this is fast forward of our 7.x-1.x branch
git rebase 7.x-1.x # Plop our commits on top of everybody else's
git checkout 7.x-1.x # Switch to the local tracking branch
git merge comment_101026 # Do a fast forward because feature branch
is already rebased
git push # Push the public branch back up,
with my stuff on the top
This gets rid of one pull and doesn't resort to fetch. It also uses a merge instead of the second rebase. I don't really get the consequences of rebasing the public branch, but probably it is equivalent to a fast forward merge.
- Log in to post comments
Partly it is a design choice. If you are a sole developer, or in a very small team, then having lots of branches and merges, which create side loops in the history, is not a problem. You can see that the code 'just works' by inspection, and direct evaluation (running it). Your merges can include loads of fix ups and tweaks because everyone is involved. It could even be an evil merge (git style).
In a bigger environment, where either some folk are working in separate areas (so are left behind what you are doing) or you have QA and management, then you have that folk don't 'believe' that your branch code cleanly applies to the latest code base. They won't allow anything other than a clean merge, which is the same as a fast forward for a rebased branch.
By asking the author to do a rebase first, and fix any clashes, and run tests (or whatever is required), it means that no-one is surprised by the 'merge' , because it is a 'no-op' (fast forward). The rebase isn't any more work, it is simply the work that would have had to be done for the branch merge anyway. Plus you get to make your history look good a/k/a "professional" ;-) [rebase --interactive]

Why not just work on a local topic branch that tracks the remote, and occasionally do a
git pull --rebase, or just add "autosetuprebase = true" to your gitconfig and then just
git pull?

Thanks! It sounds simple. I'll google it to see if there's any details or tips that could be useful.

Great article and I am convinced already of using a rebasing approach in order to have clean histories without all the checkpoint commits on the main branch.
One question, I don't entirely understand the work flow shown above with two complete sets of fetch/rebase before the final push back to mainline. Seems like it has to rebase the remote tracking branch in addition to the the actual local working one. Can you please comment a litlte bit on that? What is that neccessary to mess with the remote tracking branch?
- Log in to post comments
right so i want to create some wrapper scripts to make things somewhat dummy proof for contributors.
I love the forking PR model, because ultimately nobody but me can push stuff back to my repo without approval and discussion. This does complicate things a little more though as now for any given feature, there are essentially two origins and the local they are working on. And when *I* and working on stuff directly against the blessed repo I still want to use the rebase strategy, so I still kind of need to understand why you had to do two separate rebases in the above instructions...one from feature branch against origin/release and one against the working local release, that confused me a bit.
But then for contributors, presumably they would need to follow all of the above, except they now their local feature branch is referencing a remote on their forked repo. So the exact procedure for them to fetch or pull from the blessed repo, while updating their own repo at the same time, and also rebasing with their local working branch, and pushing back to their forked repo main, as well as finally sending the pull request in order to get theri change back to the blessed repo. That's where it all is a bit foggy to me at the moment and that is precisely why I want to make some scripts to make it dummy proof for any contributors.

There's nothing we enjoy more than one of our favorite hot guys getting all cute and cuddly to talk romance, so we are loving Alex Pettyfer's latest chat with Cosmopolitan, where he spills all the details on his perfect date. All we need now is it for actually to be with us, and we'll be happy.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Alex opened up about being a bit of an old romantic when it comes to the ladies, and even though he's like, well, famous, he's a fan of the traditional flick and a bite to eat combo for a first date.
Talking about the dreaded V-word, Alex Pettyfer admitted: "If I have someone special, then I love Valentine's Day. If I don't, I have to admit I am pretty miserable."
But judging by his adorable idea of how to treat a lady, we're guessing that there's probably someone special already lined up for Alex to take out: "I really like the traditional movie-and-dinner date."
"There are all those excited new feelings when you're in the cinema – you're looking at each other, but trying not to… I can think of about five dates when I couldn't even tell you what we were watching."
Alex went on to reveal that when he's found his perfect lady, he's looking forward to one day settling down and starting his own family: "I've always wanted to be a young dad. Had I stayed at school, I'd only just have finished university and started working. I wouldn't have much financial stability, so I'd probably end up having kids later, whereas I can see myself doing so at maybe 29 or 30."
Blonde guys with chiseled cheekbones talking about cute dates and fatherly duties is definitely not good for our health. Has someone got a wet washcloth we can stick on our faces, please?
That was highly enjoyable, except now we feel like if we don't spend Valentine's Day with Alex Pettyfer then we might cry actual tears.
Which celeb hottie would be your dream V-day date? Let us know in the comments!

With PMCprimo MC Pilz now offers a new, stand-alone motion control solution. With a 1.3 GHz processor, PMCprimo MC provides the very high performance needed for higher productivity and process quality. Thanks to its increased performance, the scalable motion control solution can now also be used in more complex plant and machinery.
Ostfildern, Sep 29, 2016
Pilz presents a new stand-alone motion control system - More power to move!
On the one hand, larger programs can now be implemented with the same cycle time, while on the other hand, shorter cycle times are possible with the same program size. With its extra performance, PMCprimo MC not only provides higher plant productivity but also greater process quality. Thanks to Soft PLC in accordance with EN/IEC 61131, the control system also enables rapid commissioning.
Open, flexible and cost-effective
PMCprimo MC already supports various communication interfaces such as Modbus TCP, CANopen and Profibus DP-S: The motion control system has three encoder inputs for absolute or incremental encoders. This enables the implementation of a master encoder function and position control. A USB interface is available for data backup. As a result it is possible to use the system in the widest range of automation environments, making PMCprimo MC a flexible motion control solution.
There are also 16 digital inputs and outputs, so that the stand-alone control system PMCprimo MC has I/O interfaces onboard for a large number of applications. As a result the compact control system PMCprimo MC represents a cost-effective control solution for multi-drive applications.
The fantastic PMCprimo!

Stride sensor and stride length
Stride length is the average length of one step, i.e. the distance between your right and left foot when running. On the training computer stride length is a calculated average of the running cadence (distance divided by running cadence).
Stride length is stored in the training computer's exercise log and can be used in detailed analysis. It is stored per exercise, per lap, and per phase.
With RCX5 stride length can also be analyzed in polarpersonaltrainer.com and with compatible training computer in Polar ProTrainer 5 software.
To get the stride length value, you need to have Polar s3+ /s3 stride sensor™ W.I.N.D. enabled on the training computer.

Though all the chapters could work as short stories, the characters and chronology are recorded carefully enough and Ms. Hempel's development make it a real novel. The constant oscillation of the writer's view (from Ms. Hempel s a teacher to her recollections of her life as a student and daughter) make it amazingly rich for such a short book. --Bob Bjoring 20:54, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

From Mercy High School's humble beginnings in the 1950s, when 47 students in a temporary building on Roanoke Avenue made up its inaugural class, the small Riverhead school has served as the East End's home for secondary students seeking a Catholic education in a close-knit community. As the school expanded, eventually becoming Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School in 2002, students there continued to gravitate toward athletics as a part of their education.
The Monarchs, while successful at times in certain sports, have never been known as a powerhouse program.
Administrators now hope to change that. (more…)

The iCloud just keeps on growing.
Apple announced yesterday that it will build its next data centre in Reno, NV in the United States. This latest facility joins Apple's initial three data centres in California, North Carolina and Oregon; together those buildings form the iCloud that allows us to store and share our pictures, video and e-mail.
Apple made an ambitious pledge last month when it said that all three of those first data centres would be coal free and 100% powered by renewable energy. We're still eagerly awaiting plans from Apple for how it will effectively do that, especially in North Carolina where it still will buy electricity from Duke Energy, the mostly coal-burning utility there.
But now, we have a new question: Will Apple pledge to be 100 % renewably powered in Reno also?
The facts are still thin, but it seems that Apple is placing a big bet in Reno, according to a study apparently commissioned by Apple from a consultant called Applied Economics and then submitted to Washoe County, NV (attachment B), suggests that:
That last nugget of information may be a good sign that Apple has plans to invest in renewable energy in Reno. The local electricity grid is powered by a utility called NV Energy, whose energy mix is 62% natural gas, 20% coal and 6% renewable energy. That's not as bad as North Carolina, which is powered by 90 % coal and nuclear energy combined, but it's still mostly dependent on fossil fuels and a far cry from being 100 % renewably powered. The good news is that Apple does have great potential to do much better than that in Nevada, which has massive amounts of solar and geothermal energy potential.
For now, we can only speculate about Apple's next move. One thing this new data centre does show is that the iCloud, and its ever increasing energy appetite, are continuing to grow and grow. Since Apple will keep building these facilities, the most important thing it can and must do is to make a formal commitment that all of its data centres will be powered by renewable energy. That will send a powerful signal to utilities that if they want Apple's business, they must start shutting down coal plants that destroy communities and the climate, and investing in renewable energy. For an example of that kind of commitment, Apple can look to Facebook, who has committed to power its cloud with renewable energy and adopted a siting policy that prioritises renewable energy when it decides where to build its data centres.
Greenpeace will release an analysis in July re-scoring Apple based on the criteria it used in its How Clean is Your Cloud? report from April, 2012, taking into account Apple's latest statements about renewable energy and its announcement of the new Nevada data centre.
David Pomerantz is a media officer for Greenpeace's work to push technology companies to lead the shift to a prosperous clean energy economy.

Ann Arbor, MI's Tally Hall feature vocalist/guitarist Rob Cantor (Yellow), guitarist Joe Hawley (Red), bassist Zubin Sedghi (Blue), keyboardist Andrew Horowitz (Green), and drummer Ross Federman (Silver). Most will know them by the color of their ties; however, their infectious blend of '60s pop harmonies, garage rock work ethic, playful sense of humor, and indie rock sensibilities make Tally Hall a standout among followers. The group was formed in late 2002 while attending the University of Michigan, and each member hails from suburban Detroit except Horowitz, who calls Tewksbury, NJ, home.
Balancing their rock & roll dreams with their goals in education was a challenge for the members of Tally Hall. Horowitz had won the 2004 John Lennon Scholarship Competition and $10,000 for his song "Good Day," which also appears on Tally Hall's debut album, Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. A year later, with bachelor's degrees in hand, the bandmembers convinced themselves to give it a serious go. Federman and Sedghi opted to wait on furthering their education, and Cantor even put his plans to attend the University of Michigan Medical School (with a full-ride scholarship) on hold so that Tally Hall could make things happen. Such a decision seemed to pay off in the meantime. They played to sold-out audiences in and around the Midwest, and issued Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum to rave reviews in 2005. Two performances at the annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, TX, allowed Tally Hall to spread the word about their self-defined "wonky rock." The band also appeared on an episode of VH1's Best Week Ever, and "Good Day" appeared in an episode of The O.C. in April. Dates with OK Go followed into May. The band inked a deal with Atlantic Records, and after some sonic revisitation, re-released a slightly more polished version of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum with the label in spring of 2008. In this phase of their existence, the band also worked on Tally Hall Internet Show, a web series involving sketch comedy and musical performances that ran for eleven episodes. The group stayed busy with touring in this time, including a spot on 2008's Lollapalooza festival. Work on the group's second full length had begun at this point, though it would be years before the record saw proper release. In 2011, Good & Evil was finally released. Though it was funded in part by Atlantic, the band had parted ways with the label and returned to their original home of Ann Arbor imprint Quack! Media. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

Zillow Adds Foreclosure Tracking To Mobile App
My wife and I use Zillow heavily to help us find in our home search. We both add homes as "favorites" on Zillow.com and the mobile apps and send them to our real estate agent so he can get us an appointment to view the homes. Zillow is pretty accurate when it comes to property prices and related information, but the app only showed "traditional" listings. The recent Zillow app update now includes foreclosures (and pre-foreclosures), bank-owned properties, and auction listings to give us an even bigger picture of what's currently on the market.
Foreclosure information is free and public record, but with it now being included in the app (other apps charge a fee), we don't have to request a foreclosure or auction listing from our county. As quick as we can browse, view, save and sync traditional listings; we can now do so with foreclosures. Yes, we still need our real estate agent do some digging to verify Zillow's information on properties we may be interested in, but it's now nice to know we can set up alerts when new foreclosures are listed, just in case a "too good to be true" house pops up that we need to find out about sooner than later.
In addition to adding foreclosures, the app now visually tracks what homes you have viewed in the past by changing the opacity of the home icon in map view and changing the color of the row in list view of previously viewed homes. That saves us from clicking on the same homes over and over again.
From the looks of it, the housing market is stabilizing, and people are starting to buy homes again. Either that, or we are being way too picky. Either way, the Zilliow app is a pretty decent real estate tool that has come in handy plenty of times when we just happen to drive by a house with a "For Sale" sign in the yard. The new update keeps us from having to guess what "kind" of house it is too.

Not over: Horwitz can't escape <I>Confederates
The 1998 Civil War cult classic, Confederates in the Attic, continues to put author Tony Horwitz in the hot seat. "I still occasionally get angry letters," he says. "It still seems to get under people's skins on all sides."
Confederates' resonance makes it hard to believe that it's little more than a blip in the career of the Pulitzer prize-winning former war correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. He's written three other books, including the best-selling Baghdad without a Map, and most recently, Blue Latitudes, in which he follows Captain James Cook's South Seas journeys.
Horwitz is not coming to the Virginia Festival of the Book to flog a recent issue. His wife, novelist Geraldine Brooks, is the one with the new book, and the writerly couple will host the Festival authors' reception at Carr's Hill March 19.
"I'm always happy to come to Charlottesville, especially if it involves free food and drink," says Horwitz from his home in Waterford, a small town near Leesburg.
The inspiration for his new book-in-progress came from Blue Latitudes. "Part of the Captain Cook research that drew me in was the first contact between Europeans and the Aborigines and Maori," he explains. Now he's exploring the "forgotten, rich period" of the hundred years following Columbus. "It's the drama of people first meeting each other," he says.
His research so far follows the trail of conquistadors like DeSoto and Coronado. "I've finished my Spanish phase," he says.
The book, due out in 2007, will offer Horwitz's trademark mix of history, travelogue, and, it goes without saying, humor.
With three other published books, is it ever annoying that the questions always come back to Confederates in the Attic?
"It's the one with the most relevance to American readers," says Horwitz. "It's a subject matter close to home and close to my heart. Captain Cook fascinates me, but he's not someone I would argue about around the dinner table."
Fans of Confederates like to drop re-enactor terms like "bloating" (something that happens to dead soldiers out in the sun) and "Civil Wargasm" (traveling to as many battle sites as possible in a short period of time).
Says Horwitz, "I've spent time with conquistador re-enactors. I've been with Captain Cook re-enactors. None are quite as hardcore as Civil War re-enactors."
It's the 21st century and the war's still not over.
Horwitz's duties at the book fest are to moderate a panel discussion on Brooks' latest novel, March, about the Civil War (!) experiences of Little Women's absent père.
Another duty of visiting authors: offering tips to would-be writers. "Forget looking for inspiration in the right mix of caffeine and nicotine," he advises. "You just have to put in the hours. Treat it like bricklaying."
Age: 46
What do you like best about Charlottesville? Its bookstores
Least? The neon skin guarding the northern approach to town. One of Virginia's finest franchise sprawls.
Favorite hangout? The field behind my house, which runs down to a creek and is paradise for birds, deer, and poison ivy.
Most overrated virtue? Manliness. In a tight spot, beg, bribe, or run.
People would be surprised to know: As a teenager, I played basketball and juggled atop a six-foot-tall unicycle in hopes of joining the circus. I didn't make the cut.
What would you change about yourself? In my next life I'd like to be patient.
Proudest accomplishment? Winning the Loudoun County Invitational poker tournament
People find most annoying about you: Where to begin?
Whom do you admire? People who don't just talk, but act on their convictions and are willing to pay the price. The Burmese human rights activist, Aung San Su Kyi, is one who comes to mind. Also, every doctor I've ever met from Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Favorite book? Too hard. But favorites from the past year include The Known World, Middlesex, The Inner Circle, and I Don't Know How She Does It.
Subject that causes you to rant? The destruction of Virginia's historic landscapes
Biggest 21st-century thrill? George Bush will have to leave office in 2009.
Biggest 21st-century creep out? Jeb Bush may follow him.
What do you drive? Mostly rented compacts, as I'm on the road a lot. Whatever's cheapest.
In your car CD player right now: I don't own a CD player. But my last rental car chewed up a CD of I Am Charlotte Simmons, a mercy killing.
Next journey? In search of the lost colonists of Roanoke
Most trouble you've ever gotten in? Twice arrested in Iraq: once by Saddam's secret police, for reporting without an escort, and another time by the U.S. military police, for reporting without an escort
Regret: That I have only one life to live.
Favorite comfort food: Virginia Gentleman
Always in your refrigerator: Vegemite
Must-see TV: None. Honestly.
Favorite cartoon: A New Yorker cover a few years ago showing a map of Manhattan and the boroughs as the Middle East, with enclaves such as Kvetchestan, Pashmina, Irant and Irate, and Baddassistan
Describe a perfect day. A lazy, late-October amble through the Blue Ridge with apple-picking, pumpkin-carving, gazing at leaves, and a drink by the fire afterwards
Walter Mitty fantasy: To play center field for the Washington Nationals
Who'd play you in the movie? The younger Coen brother; I can never remember if that's Ethan or Joel. He looks just like me, but unfortunately, he's the one who isn't married to Frances McDormand.
Most embarrassing moment? Too many to recount. I'm skilled at making unflattering remarks about a person who, unbeknownst to me, is standing five feet away.
Best advice you ever got? From a journalism professor, three tips on how to report and write a great story: "show don't tell, good quotes up high, and take a piss whenever you get the chance."
Favorite bumper sticker? I believe in the right to arm bears.
Tony Horwitz

Ben Affleck won an Oscar for his writing skills on 1997's "Good Will Hunting," but when it comes to his romantic e-mails to wife Jennifer Garner – the actor wishes that she kept that skill of his private.
"I do write e-mails to my wife, that is true," a coy Ben told Access Hollywood's Tony Potts at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday when asked about Jen's recent interview in Parade, where she revealed Ben's skill at crafting a sexy e-mail.
"Sounds like the kind of thing that my wife was looking for something to say in the interview… and that's what she same up with," a slightly embarrassed Ben said.
"So, thanks for that, because now here I am, doing another interview and then they ask me about that," he joked. "So, thank you honey."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jennifer told Parade Magazine that Ben is a "a very persuasive writer," when it comes to his online communication with her.
And the actress said that even with two kids, the couple finds time to be romantic.
"You steal the time. You steal a date, you steal a kiss, you steal a whisper. You sit next to each other on the couch with computers on your laps. After the kids are asleep you…well, you know," she told the mag. "Whatever it is. You slip away for a night, which we've only just now done for the first time. Of course, I call home while we're away. Ben would be surprised if I didn't."
See Ben talk about his new movie, "The Company Men," co-starring Rosemarie DeWitt, HERE!
