So there's still hope for my future career as a soloist. Menahem Pressler made his Symphony Center debut yesterday at the age of 92. It is true that he had been a legendary chamber musician for about 60 years, since founding the Beaux Arts Trio, but I still have over 30 years to correct that deficiency. If he can make his concerto debut with the Berlin Philharmonic just ten years short of his own centenary, then surely anything is possible.
Pressler has always exuded a sense of joy in his playing, whether through the impish wit he brought to Haydn or the lyrical rapture he conveyed in Dvorak. The very act of dedicating your life to the collaborative art of chamber music seems to indicate a certain humility, a willingness to subsume ego to the cause of music-making, although it might be that he just liked being among friends. That is, after all, the essence of chamber music – affectionate conviviality, intimate conversation, an act of communion. Still, it is quite touching to see the almost child-like delight with which he is enjoying this new phase in his life now that the Beaux Arts Trio is no more, a delight that his audiences seem willing to share.
As you would expect, he is quite frail, and had to be assisted to the piano by a solicitous page turner, but that made it even more moving when he started playing Mozart's Rondo in A-minor with the same glowing cantabile tone that he had in his prime. His playing may not have been immaculate, but I don't think he made an ugly sound the entire afternoon. His ears are as acute as ever, ensuring that every texture was beautifully balanced, the inner voices gently emphasized, the accompaniments quietly supportive. His fingers are not as fleet as before, but his touch has not deserted him.
This was especially true in the Kurtág that started the second half, the Impromptu al ongarese, which was dedicated to Pressler, a study in subtle sonorities, grave and haunting. He then played more challenging Debussy's Estampes with a remarkable lucidity. The opening Pagodes was perhaps conveyed in more muted colors than usual, but that only gave the music a dream-like quality that seemed perfectly apt to this naïve vision of the orient. Even the lively Jardins sous la Pluie was played with some grace and agility, although his fingers couldn't quite keep up with his intentions in the final peroration.
He ended with some Chopin, three mazurkas followed by the third Ballade. If the mazurkas brought out the most confident and rhythmically alert playing of the concert, it was fascinating to see how he tamed the more strenuous passages in the Ballade. He can't play with the effortless speed and abandon of younger virtuosi, but he nevertheless showed great skill and cunning in concealing any technical limitations behind a curtain of warm phrasing and tonal beauty.
I confess that my mind drifted during the long contemplative passages in the Schubert G-major sonata, D894, that filled the first half. This is, in many ways, a work well suited to Pressler's temperament, but Schubert occasionally jolts us from our meditation with passionate outbursts of anguish or defiance that Pressler couldn't quite deliver. This is one of Schubert's most visionary works, but it requires intense concentration by the pianist to hold its long phrases in absolute focus. Still, after a rather plodding scherzo, he played the tricky finale with quiet affection and charm.
I last heard Menahem Pressler about thirty years ago when the Beaux Arts Trio played in a cavernous exposition hall in Grenoble. It was the antithesis of the intimate salon that their repertoire was written for, a sign of their superstar status. Their success was surely due to Pressler, who brought zest to the music without ever overpowering his partners. It is good to see that his love of life and music is undiminished after such a long career. Now back to the piano. I have some catching up to do.

Full of references, the image also clearly reflects the general style of the album, but starkly contrasts with the previous visual designs of the French label Marble. But again, this is Marble's first LP release, and albums are usually the place to creates artist-related visual identities, while 12 inch singles are more about the label's identity.

Welcome to the website of NOPSA, the Nordic Political Science Association where we have assembled several pages of information about the association and what its function is.
This is an international and multilingual organization composed of the national associations for political scientists in the nordic countries. NOPSA is also know in the Finnish language as "Nordisk forening for statsvitenskap, Nordisk forbund for statskundskab or Pohjoismainen Valtiotieteellinen Yhdistys".
These web-pages will reflect the multilingual nature of the association through a multilingual apporach and may contain material in any of the Nordic languages (which will be marked as such) and in English.
There were several meetings and conferences in the past attended by members of the association and it may be of some interest to recreate the information and publish it on this website. The XVI Nordic Conference was held in Vaasa, Finland, August 9-12, 2011. I will be attempting to locate and formulate the notes from the conference into an English translation for the interest of anyone who wants to learn about it.
There is an abundance of useful information that will cover many related topics ranging from simple political correctness through various exposition events that will be related in some way or another to the subject of this site to all kinds of dust bureau occurrences that may manifest from time to time.
Note: This website is being recreated from its original publication and may take some time to rebuild, page by page as data is located and re-written for publication. Please be patient with me while I continue my researches in order to provide you with more information as it becomes available. Thank you.

Ollie and Quentin
... is a buddy strip about the unlikely friendship between a seagull called Ollie and an adventurous lugworm called Quentin despite the obvious food chain disparity that suggests Ollie should be more interested in Quentin as a snack than as a friend.
The strip follows their adventures as they learn about each other and treat us to their often hilarious bird's eye and worm's eye view of our world. Unsurprisingly, for two creatures living outside of their normal habitats, their daily antics often end in disaster especially for thumb-sized Quentin who has a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's been squashed, stretched, swallowed, chewed, inflated, frozen, even used as a bar of soap but our plucky little hero takes it all in his stride, never letting his small size deter him from having fun with his feathered cohort.
Piers has been writing and drawing Ollie and Quentin for over 15 years and admits that, professionally, the comic is his #1 passion.

Farhan alerted us to this. From the NASA website:
April 1, 2009: The sunspot cycle is behaving a little like the stock market. Just when you think it has hit bottom, it goes even lower.
2008 was a bear. There were no sunspots observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73%). To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913, which had 311 spotless days: plot. Prompted by these numbers, some observers suggested that the solar cycle had hit bottom in 2008.
Maybe not. Sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower. As of March 31st, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year's 90 days (87%).
It adds up to one inescapable conclusion: "We're experiencing a very deep solar minimum," says solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center.
"This is the quietest sun we've seen in almost a century," agrees sunspot expert David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

There is a national movement to universalize the high school curriculum so that all students graduate prepared for college. The present work evaluates a policy in Chicago that ended remedial classes and mandated college preparatory course work for all students. Based on an interrupted time-series cohort design with multiple comparisons, this study found that the policy reduced inequities in ninth grade course work by entering ability, race/ethnicity, and special education status. Although more students completed ninth grade with credits in algebra and English I, failure rates increased, grades slightly declined, test scores did not improve, and students were no more likely to enter college. In sum, few benefits resulted from universalizing college preparatory course work among freshmen, but dropout rates did not increase. Possible explanations are discussed.

How can a non-Olympic sponsor seize the unparalleled opportunity of the London 2012 games?
When the opportunity arose to position skincare brand NIVEA at the heart of the London 2012 Olympic experience, we knew it was the ideal opportunity to demonstrate the brand's 'Feel Closer' proposition. We created an unmissable and completely immersive touchscreen experience where visitors from across the globe could record an image or a video message to "Say Hello" to friends and family, and share it through social media.
To amplify the campaign we mapped the destination of the sent messages on our own Facebook page, demonstrating how we were bringing the whole world closer, and encouraged likes and shares to spread the messages even further and continue the dialogue away from the experience.
To convert brand awareness and consideration into trial we partnered with Boots to create a pop-up store at the exit to the stand.
The store sold 100ml packs of key Nivea products - including the sun-care range - which met the security restrictions for the Olympic Stadium, and could be taken in and used on the same day.
To ensure there was no cannibalisation of sales from nearby stores, the payment infrastructure was provided by Boots, and Boots staff managed the store; providing expert skincare advice to visitors.
'Say Hello' was a natural extension of our Million Moments 'campaign' and a brilliant way to link Nivea's 'Feel Closer' proposition to a global real-life event. With people from all over the world coming together to celebrate London 2012, this campaign gave Nivea a very visible presence near the stadium; and the partnership with Boots turned a brand experience into a valuable, relevant sales opportunity.

Inside the Secret Forest
The Chinese Gardens
The Chinese Garden is currently under restoration. The roof has been removed and rebuilt by our team. It is intended as a place of quiet and tranquility, planted with ferns and shrubs and dominated by a statue of the Buddha. A small stream runs through the middle that is crossed by a Chinese Bridge.
The Crocodile Swamp and the Grotto
To cross the crocodile swamp or reach the entrance to the Grotto, you must carefully negotiate the wooden stepping stones. Inside is the grotto's guardian, a reptilian monster who feeds on human heads.
The Celtic Totems, the Snake and the Bird
The mysterious Celtic Totems in the centre of the Secret Forest, designed by Elizabeth Brodie as a homage to Celtic and prehistoric art, are three decorated six foot poles, supporting heads of women carved in stone.
The Pagoda
The centrepiece of the Secret Forest is the Pagoda designed by Vernon Gibberd. Over 35ftt high, there are 42 wrought-iron steps to the high balcony, which can accommodate up to 50 people at a time and provides a spectacular view over the Secret Forest.
The Castle with No Entrance
The Castle with No Entrance is the home of a greedy Goblin who guards his treasure constantly and watches for intruders from his high window in the tower.
The Inner Wood
The Inner Wood lies at the entrance of the Secret Forest and is largely enclosed by trees and branches that form a canopy over your head. Hiding within the Inner Wood are several animals including deer and foxes, a wolf and a wild boar.
The Prisoner in the Cell
Below the Overhead Walkway is an enclosed passage leading from the Castle with No Entrance to the Inner Wood. At the end of the passage is the chained prisoner in his cell.
The Maze of the Green Man
The Gate with the Three Entrances leads you into the Maze and the realm of the Green Man. The Green Man is made of solid oak and lives in the centre of the Maze, enclosed by other sculpture representing a variety of animals and plants that thrive by day and night. .This are has a section closed awaiitng winter maintenance.
The Gingerbread House
The Gingerbread House is a six-sided building embossed on two walls with cakes and lollipops and all manner of sweet things. It is the home of the witch, who crouches hidden in her kitchen, waiting for children who are tempted to enter in search of sweets and other goodies.
The Woodcutter's House
The Woodcutter's House, at the farthest end of the Forest, has been constructed by laying tree trunks horizontally one on top of the other and securing them together with dowels.

Steve Pouchie Playing the Music from 'North by Northeast" Wed, Jan 21st at Don Coqui
With his latest production, North By Northeast, vibraphonist Steve Pouchie may not be scaling Mount Rushmore or dashing about in a gray suit, evading cops and deadly crop dusters, but he and his players nonetheless generate the same breathtaking brand of excitement and unpredictability that characterizes the motion picture classic made famous by Alfred Hitchcock.
The virtuosic Pouchie, who has performed in many notable New York venues throughout the years, along with his renowned players — especially Grammy nominee Wilson "Chembo" Corniel, who co-produced this album—present, in Pouchie's words, "the different shades of Latin Jazz….played with the sensitivity and precision, that only a good Latin Jazz band can achieve. Each song is experimental in one way or another." — Vicki Solá, Que Viva La Música (89.1 WFDU-FM)
This album, North by Northeast is an infinitely sophisticated recording, full of romantic allusions from literature and film. If it suggests Alfred Hitchcock, it is because it abounds in mystery and magic. — Raul da Gama Latin Jazz Network

The Lowdown: Wouldn't it be great to live a pure, undefiled life? In today's culture, a truly pure life is hard to find. Being pure has as much to do with the spiritual as it does the physical. In this truthful, to the point book, Elsa Kok Colopy shares her story of her deep pit of heartache, and the awesome love of God that pulled her out of it. She shares techniques on how to avoid lust, and how to maintain your purity. She uses God's love letter to us as her ultimate resource, and shows how God can restore your life if you just give it to Him.
I liked:That this book was a great read, it covered numerous topics. It showed how we are made to love God, and used many wonderful analogies to how Jesus is our Prince Charming. I liked her use of true stories and how emotions can lead to sin when not handled properly.
I disliked: At times, I was quite uncomfortable reading about certain topics. Nothing said was untruthful, and was, in fact, necessary. Just a bit uncomfortable.
Overall: I would recommend this book to girls ages 16+, maybe even older depending on your specific circumstance. Pray if you aren't sure if this book is right for you.
This book was given to me for free from Zondervan for this review.

Environmental Risk Management
As the production, trade and use of chemicals increases worldwide so too does concern about their harmful effects. In an effort to limit these risks to human health and the environment, United Nations and EU have been developed various regulations.
The Netherlands is a signatory to a number of international conventions and actively contributes to UN Conventions and EU regulation on limiting the effects of hazardous substances. An important part of the process is establishing synergy and preventing overlap between the various conventions.
Global Agreements
The Netherlands is a signatory to the Rotterdam Convention which is a legally binding obligation to implement the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure for certain hazardous chemicals. The Convention bans or severely restricts the use of certain pesticides and industrial chemicals. The Netherlands is contributing to the secretariat to the Convention and is actively working to stimulate compliance with the provisions of the Convention.
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) concerns non-degradable chemicals of serious risk to man and the environment that accumulate in the food chain. Currently, the Convention has banned production worldwide of eight pesticides, and supports developing countries in meeting this obligation. The EU and the Netherlands as a Member State are working to extend the list of banned chemicals and so to contribute to achieving the Millennium Development goals.
The Convention is closely allied with the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution.
The Helsinki Convention on Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents
This Convention includes 40 companies in the Netherlands. In 2010, the Netherlands was chairman of the Convention and is working in cooperation with neighbouring countries to implement the provisions of the Convention.
Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM)
The Netherlands strives for political commitment to this policy framework developed by the United Nations Environment Programme to promote chemical safety worldwide. The goal is to manage chemicals throughout their life cycle and is directed to minimising adverse impacts on human health and the environment. The Netherlands wants the EU to play a leading role in implementing the SAICM Global Plan of Action.
The Netherlands supports the EU in a call for a global convention on mercury, a highly toxic metal causing large-scale pollution of forests and water resources, and irreversible health problems. To reduce the risks posed by mercury pollution, the EU has established directives and regulations.
Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety concerns the international trade and transport of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Although not yet ratified by the major exporting countries and negotiations are ongoing about the global legal liability for damage to biodiversity, the protocol is in line with EU directive on environmental liability. The Netherlands is actively contributing to this process and to capacity building. EU has regulations on GMOs, however, the Netherlands considers the decision to grow GMOs should be made by the Member States themselves.
European Union
In addition to the Global Agreements, the EU has various directives that contribute to reducing environmental risks. The most significant are the REACH regulations (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances). The Netherlands has been proactive in the Committee in preparing and evaluating the REACH regulations. The Netherlands has played an active role in developing the directive on fireworks which incorporates the safety and sale of fireworks in the European Union.
In addition, the Netherlands has participated in the preparation of the Seveso II directive to reduce the risk of major accidents with hazardous substances in companies by preventing and limiting the consequences of such accidents.

Assessing emergency needs after deadly earthquake in Sichuan province
April 20, 2013
Note: This post was updated Sunday, April 21, to reflect new numbers of those affected.
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit China's Sichuan province on Saturday, killing nearly 200 people and injuring more than 14,000. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced and worries about increasing landslides rise as rain hampers the rescue effort.
Members of our China team headed to the epicenter within hours to assess emergency relief needs. Initial reports indicate that necessities like tents, water, food and medicine are in short supply. We'll work with local organizations and the government to support their relief efforts. Our local partner, China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, has already sent in seven water trucks to the most damaged villages.
Your donation will help our teams rush lifesaving aid to families devastated by this disaster and other crises around the world.
In hardest-hit Lushan county, entire villages were flattened, roads damaged, and electricity and water supplies cut off. The shallow depth of the earthquake likely increased the deadly damage.
We've been working in Sichuan since responding to the deadly 2008 quake that killed 70,000 in the same region. Our teams also responded to a 7.1 earthquake in neighboring Qinghai province in 2010.
As in those previous emergencies, today we're mobilizing to address survivors' urgent needs and will assess how we can help communities begin to recover and rebuild.
How You Can Help

I saw two things in La Capital today that really ticked me off. OK there is always a lot in the news to be ticked off at but these two really got to me because they show stupidity can be found in both of the countries I love.
First, An American couple, living near Miami, paid U$S 155,000 to clone their dog!!!! These idiots have more money than brains. Imagine how many kids could be fed for this amount of money. No wonder the world thinks so lowly of Americans. This really disgusts me. I lost my dog after 12 years and I cried for days afterwards but I would never, for an instant, thinking of doing something this stupid.
Second, Except for being a great futbol player, Diego Maradona has been a disaster. Now he compounds his errors by giving wholehearted support to the Dictatorship of Hugo Chavez, the Clown of Caracas. Diego, por favor, coach our national team and get the hell out of international politics, of which you know absolutely nothing.

If you've been selling products via a retail store for any length of time, you've probably heard sales and marketing experts recommend diversifying your sales strategy with a multichannel approach. This term — "multichannel sales strategy" — simply refers to selling your products in other places besides a brick-and-mortar storefront or ecommerce website. When you sell across multiple channels — online, offline, and anywhere in between — you're offering multiple touch points for customers to interact with your brand.
In addition to having your own physical and ecommerce store, there are several types of online marketplaces and sales platforms where you can sell your products to people who otherwise might not find you.
But not every channel is a good fit for every business; for instance, to provide a streamlined customer experience, many of these marketplaces will prioritize their own branding. That can be difficult if your strategy relies heavily on having a recognizable brand. And many online sales channels take out fees for product listings and/or sales commissions.
But the benefits of featuring your products on these websites can certainly outweigh any downsides, especially if your goal is to sell a high volume of products or cater to a niche audience. These product marketplaces (such as eBay, Etsy, and Amazon) are designed to make the process easy for the sellers and buyers alike with minimal technical knowledge required and built-in marketing to a large database of existing customers.
And while there are a variety of options for merchants to choose from, not every marketplace or channel is right for everyone. But here's how you can narrow your focus to the right channels for you and your retail business.

If you are among the millions struggling to keep their New Year's commitments to themselves about losing weight, than you need to be aware of the most effective diets that are available to you right now.
I find that the Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss plan is one of the most effective out there right now. You see, your diet is a crucial part of losing weight and keeping commitments to yourself.
While there might be more to losing weight than just watching what you eat exclusively, it really does begin with your dietary decisions.
That is where this new diet makes it pretty easy on you, and you could very well end up enjoying the new diet. The whole basis of the Mediterranean Diet is what you are actually eating.
This diet emphasizes the use of vegetables, fruits and foods that have 'healthy fats.' These are all tasty choices too, so that you can easily find yourself achieving at your goals sooner than you thought you might.
What sets this diet apart as well, is through the use of olive oil and also through an occasional glass of red wine. Many leading health studies have commended the use of both of these in conjunction with a heart healthy diet.
You want the diet you choose to not only help you to lose weight, but also to improve your health overall, and that is why the Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss plan is so effective.
As with any diet plan, you have to improve all the aspects of your life to incorporate optimal weight loss. So you have to exercise a little as well, and you will find that you will lose weight faster and more evenly.
Exercise also helps you tone while you lose weight, so you don't have loose patches of skin that are rather unappealing to the eye.
The Mediterranean Diet is revolutionary, and there are many people that are finding a good deal of success through the incorporation of this process.
So if this is interesting to you, than you should look a little more into the specific details and get yourself started on the best looking version of yourself in a hurry.

It's never too early to start learning about sustainable living, as evidenced by this incredible Sunhouse nursery designed by Christensen and Co. Architects in Denmark. The beautiful daylit building is one of the world's biggest nurseries, and it combines sustainable architecture and clean energy technology to create a healthy learning environment for kids.
The 4,200 square foot building utilizes "active house" principles to produce energy while creating a healthy interior climate for its occupants. The compact triangle design optimizes sun intake through a set of Velux roof windows and two extensive banks of windows on the project's southeastern and southwestern sides. This extensive array of windows allows the nursery to capture 3 times more sunlight than a regular building.
The nursery's roof consists of a series of slanted plates that alternate between solar panels and sedum flowers. The panels capture to heat and cool the building throughout various climates, and they feed back excess energy to the local grid. The project's slanted design and high-performance insulation provide thermal mass while enabling natural ventilation, letting the building essentially "breathe" fresh air on its own.
The triangle's interior can house nearly 100 rambunctious children, with clean and simple open space and plenty of natural sunlight. Low-energy light fixtures and modern soundproofing wall boards are perfect for a dimly lit afternoon nap.
Outdoors, the Sunhouse boasts a wooden jungle gym and various gardens to represent the different landscapes of Denmark. A tiny wooded area represents the forests, while a sandy plot is reminiscent of the coastline. Here, children can learn about the environment and even grow their own plants in the green house.
Though a relatively young firm, <a href="">Christensen and Co. are experts at developing sustainable solutions and green architecture. They already design to meet the future Danish 2020 building regulations (which call for a 75% reduction in CO2 emissions), and they even signed the UN Global Compact in 2010, which puts environmental precautions and responsibility at the forefront of architectural priorities. We look forward to seeing what they have in store next.

This post is for people who have used git before, but aren't really sure what they can do besides push/pull. If you have never used version control, I would definitely recommend git! Here is a simple NetTuts tutorial for getting set up.
Git Phobia
I frequently hear people say they "don't use git, but should," or "haven't had time to learn it yet." Like me, they are intimidated by git. Though I have been "using" it for about two years, I have always been uneasy around git. Here's why:
Until recently,
- I didn't know how to do anything but push and pull
- I hated merge conflicts
- I panicked when I had broken code in my local repo, but needed to pull down someone else's changes
- I had no idea how to quit for the night with unfinished code
Here is everything I used to know about git and git workflow:
git pull git add . git commit -m 'some message' git push origin master
meanwhile, squeezing my eyes shut and praying for no conflicts (lest the dreaded VIM editor open). I even used to try to work on files no one else was working on, just to avoid a conflict. Crazy, right?
Why Use Git?
I used to think git was nothing more than a "version history"; useful just in case code needed to be rolled back to a working copy (which is just so wrong).
I'm not going to get too crazy here, because many have written on this topic. However, here are my reasons for using git:
- Collaborate without accidentally overwriting someone's changes
- Keep track of who wrote what (i.e. git blame)
- Use branches to work on features
- Support multiple versions of a codebase
- Cool deployment options
- Version history, so you can roll back if necessary
Some Scenarios
Alright let's get into some things you can do with git, besides pushing and pulling.
Scenario 1: You Are Adding a Feature Which Will Take Several Days to Finish
The Problem
You don't want to be committing changes to the master branch as you work, because your partially-finished code will break the main codebase.
Git Solution
This is a great use case for a branch! Making a branch is like making a clone of the current codebase, wherein you can go crazy with changes without affecting your clean master branch. Then when you are happy with your changes, you can merge the temporary branch back into master. Alternatively, if you decide to scrap the idea of the new feature, you can simply delete the branch and forget it ever happened 😉
There are a couple ways to make a branch. This first one is a little more tedious:
git branch myNewBranchName git checkout myNewBranchName
In general, you will use checkout to switch between branches. You can achieve the same thing with the following one-line command:
git checkout -b myNewBranchName
Now that you are working from this new branch, you can commit changes without fear. When you are done with your new feature, you can use the following commands to resync your code:
//switch back to master and make sure it is utd with remote origin git checkout master git pull //merge the new branch into master and push to remote origin git merge myNewBranchName git push origin master //delete the no-longer-necessary branch: git branch -d myNewBranchName
Scenario 2: Something Urgent Interrupts You
The Problem
You are happily writing code in your local repo when an urgent or quick-fix bug is sprung on you. You need to stop what you're doing immediately and handle the problem. You don't want to lose all your work, but you also don't want to commit broken code.
Git Solution
Another situation for branches! If you aren't already working in a non-master branch, create one (I like to call it 'hold') and switch to it. Your changes will follow you there, and once you commit from this new branch, those changes will only be associated with that branch.
git checkout -b hold git add . git commit -m 'Working on x. Commit needs rebasing'
Next, you can switch back to master and do a clean pull. Then create a new branch where you can work peacefully.
git checkout master git pull //move to a second branch called quickfix git checkout -b quickfix
Once you've fixed the bug, commit your changes, merge back into master, and push your changes live, like we did in Scenario 1. Don't forget to delete the no-longer-necesary branch.
When your master branch is once again clean, switch into your 'hold' branch, and continue working. If your commit was especially bad, you can finish what you were doing, commmit, and then rebase the two most recent commits together. (Rebasing is essentially squashing two commits into one).
git checkout hold //do some work git add . git commit -m 'Describe your changes' git rebase -i HEAD~2
At this point you will be taken to VIM and asked to delete one of the commit messages. Once you do that, you can switch back into master, and do a git merge hold.
Scenario 3: You are Looking through the Codebase, and Find Some Code You Don't Understand
The Problem
No matter how many times you read through the code, you just can't understand what it's doing.
Git Solution
Do a git blame on that sucker! Then you can go straight to the source and ask the author to explain it to you.
git blame index.php // or whatever your filename is
This will open the file in your terminal and display line-by-line, who last edited that line. Below, you can see that a user named m1ck3y is responsible for the second-to-last line of this file:
Other Things to Know About Git
Git has plenty of other commands and uses (such as deployment), and you can find tutorials and Git Cheat Sheets all over the web. I definitely recommend bookmarking a good cheat sheet or making your own.
Here are a few resources I like:
Using Git for Deployment
Pretty Git Log
Git Cheat Sheet with Examples
Exhaustive Git Cheat Sheet
Colored Output, Shortcut Commands, Autocompletion, and Bash Prompt

Music – Soul Radics
Nashville might not be the kind of place that you would expect to hear Ska, Reggae or Rocksteady but there is one band that is challenging that preconception, Soul Radics. Soul Radics are an 8 piece band comprising of Jay, Shane , Jamie , Nels, Will, Rob, Dave and fronted by Dani Casler. We were lucky enough to throw a few questions Dani's way so here is what she had to say.
Q: How did Soul Radics get started and who were your influences?
Long story short, I met the guitar player Jay in 2009, and we spent a couple years trying to learn the genre and find musicians that were talented and willing to work for passion rather than pay. Jamie the bass player stuck it out when everyone else ran off… Then Nels on sax. Then we found Rob Rudie who was very seasoned in ska and with him came Drummy Dave and Shane. Our newest edition we've had for about a year is Will on trombone.
Influences vary wildly, but I think one thing that is unanimous is our love for traditional ska, reggae, and rocksteady.
Q: I am sure I once saw an interview with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones saying the reason they had 8 members was because they thought Madness were the best band in the world so if they had more they would be better, do the Soul Radics go by the same theory?
I don't think that was so much in mind… It was just the natural progression. If we met someone who was down to earth and into the sound (that happened to be a badass at wielding an instrument) we added them in. Having so many members gives us a very full sound, which I love!
Also, we've played with the Bosstones several times and they are the nicest band we have ever met. They were definitely on to something with that idea.
Q: Do the band try to follow a certain style or is it all individual tastes?
Good question. Jay and I talk about writing songs that have so and so parts or that sound a certain way, but when we write a song, it's hard to predict where it will go. Soul Radics do have something that is unique and raw and I think stuffing ourselves in a mold would stifle that, but sometimes we just want to write a wicked skinhead reggae song. So I would say it's a mix… at times we really do try for a certain thing, and fail. Yet often we still get a brilliant sound that's completely unexpected and that's magic
Q: What is the scene like in Nashville and the US as a whole, how have you been received?
Nashville is a bit rough, but it's getting better. So much music in one city, and when it's notorious for country music it's hard to stand out as a bunch of weirdos. We have some cozy shows, but I find the scene is better in a lot of other places. The best places to play in the US are usually very far from us, and we're yet to reach California or even Florida!
Q: You recently toured Europe, how was that for you?
Amazing!!! Killer!!! Eye opening!!! Did I mention AMAZING? I had never been out of the States before so the adventure alone was a pleasure. Plus, it was the dream; a huge goal in life we are proud to have accomplished. Can't wait to do it all again!
Q: Did you see any differences in the skinhead scene between the US and Europe?
Skins are more proper in Europe. Some people here throw on an oversized band shirt and camo shorts for a show and call it a day… but wow, did they dress to impress there! I know fashion isn't everything, but it was a joy to see. I also feel like reggae is embraced more there, and I enjoyed that appreciation. Politics are a bit different too, and I find the US scene can be more accepting of ideals I don't always agree with… but I know loads of great well dressed people with great character here as well. I think I fell in love with Europe so maybe it's not a fair analysis, but that's how I see it.
Q: Are there plans for a follow up to 'Down The Hall'?
Yes! We have a 7″ blue vinyl single available at Jump Up Records with 2 songs that will be on the upcoming record. The tentative time frame for the next LP is the beginning of 2015.
Q: Has there been any particular stand out moments for you personally or as a band that made you glad you started?
Oh yes, definitely. Playing Boston, singing with the Aggrolites, the whole Euro tour- all notable highlights. I have so many hilarious stories I don't know where to start. But it's been humbling in general to see so many people from so many countries across the world embrace us. I am very glad we started.
Q: Will you be coming to the UK anytime soon?
Ha! I really want to say "yes, we are doing a whole UK tour and hitting every major city along the way!" Unfortunately the promoters there aren't as welcoming as the others on the continent. It's a total shame, because we have such a large fanbase there… We're just waiting for a grand opportunity really! Hope to have good news soon on that.
You can follow Soul Radics on Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/SoulRadics - and check out their videos here - https://www.youtube.com/user/SoulRadics.
Finally we asked Dani to recommend 5 songs for you to check out so here they are, huge thanks to Dani and all the Soul Radics band for doing what you are doing and we can't wait to see you in the UK soon hopefully!
Love me Forever by Carlton and the Shoes- Flawless rocksteady tune
Surfin' by Ernest Ranglin- one of my favorite instrumentals
Israel by Bus by Calypso Rose- the most joyous ska song in history!
Moving Along by The Expanders- I just can't get this tune out of my head lately.
The Harder they Come- the whole damn soundtrack is life changing for people just getting into good reggae. I still love that record very much to this day.

After making the chemise and researching other aspects of 1700's undergarments, I became enamored with garters. Something about the delicately embroidered mottos, wrapped around the knee with flirty ribbons was enchanting.
I have also always loved Before the Automobile's steel sprung garters, and many of the later extant examples that use springs.
I based my embroidery design off this example.
|MFA - 18th Century. Silk satin with silk tambour-work and silk fringe.
The motto is Latin, instead of the usual French or English ones found on surviving examples. The top reads "Through darkness to victory" while the bottom reads "From light comes knowledge". Mostly I just wanted to incorporate a variation of my name in there somewhere!
The stuffing really makes a difference I think. They go from being sad little pieces of fabric to something more sturdy. I didn't have the patience to track down suitable springs to use in the back of the garters, so instead I used some elastic. I simply measured some more squares of cotton and sewed channels into them for the elastic to go through.
For the connectors I couldn't find what I wanted in any of my local stores, so I settled on trouser hooks. They're far to bulky for the garters, but I can easily snip them off and replace them if I find something more suitable.
Hopefully i'll get around to taking pictures of the finished pair soon, stay tuned!
