DataSource is Developing and Implementing System for the State of Maryland Public Defender's Service
DataSource Selected to Provide Personnel Information Management System
May 19, 1999, 01:00 ET from DataSource, Inc.
SILVER SPRING, Md., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- DataSource, Inc., a $15 million company that provides information systems engineering, business process reengineering, and network design to the commercial and government marketplace, announces that it is developing and implementing a revised Personnel Information Management System (PIMS) for the State of Maryland Public Defender's Service (PDS). PIMS maintains personnel and leave information for 1,000 employees and contract staff working at PDS. The system will also perform statistical analysis and provide management information in charts, graphs, and reports. The system is being implemented on the PDS network, which is migrating from Novell to Windows NT using Visual Basic and MS-Access. DataSource will develop a Design Document itemizing the database design, client presentation, navigation security, screen layouts and report layouts. DataSource will also develop and execute a formal test plan, populate the new system with cleansed historical data, implement the system, and provide user training and support. "The new system will replace an older database management system and allow for future growth and enhancements," said Pamela W. Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer for DataSource, Inc. PIMS is the first of seven systems DataSource plans to develop for PDS. DataSource is providing information services to several other agencies within the State of Maryland as well as PDS, including the Department of Transportation, State Archives, Office of Treasurer, and others. Founded in 1994 by Pamela Hopkins, DataSource has gone from a solo operation with $230,000.00 in revenues to more than 80 employees, a long list of happy clients, and projected revenues of $15 million -- all in under five years. DataSource is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Stylist: Chris
Rating:Chris is the owner and she's awesome. Unfortunately, I was there to fix a not-so-great haircut one of the other stylists, whose name escapes me, there had given me. Chris was the first stylist to point out that I have fine hair. I guess other people just assumed that because I have a lot of hair that it was thick. She gave me great recommendations for products to use and the cut grew out pretty well. Twilight's a cool place. They're open late (hence the name, which has no relation to the vampire series).
Stylist: Lisa
I went to Lisa after reading the other review and was NOT disappointed. She gave me a great cut that lasted; I didn't get the dreaded "wing" after two weeks. Just after my hair cut I went to my 20th college reunion and a male friend I've known since I was 12 told me I look even better than I did in high school. I can't give a stronger recommendation than that!
Stylist: Lisa
The past few times I'd had my hair cut it was at M Salon in Cambridge, with Dana. He did a good job but I wasn't totally convinced.... I was desperate for a trim and was looking for a less expensive place to try. I read some good reviews of Twilight, and made an appointment with Lisa. The reviews were not necc. for curly hair, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but was very pleasantly surprised! She spent the full hour really taking the time to look at my hair and cut it carefully. (My cuts at M Salon were always very quick and I felt like they weren't really tailored to me.) I am growing my hair out after having a short cut, so Lisa had to do some re-shaping to make it look good at it's in-between length. She really made my hair a lot lighter and brought out the curl well! For only $35, I was absolutely pleased and am definitely going back!

A Call to Resurgence
March 11, 2014 10 Comments
I find many contemporary Christian books lacking in either sound theology or cunning intrigue. When it comes to Christian books I tend to stick with the classics like R.C. Sproul and C.S. Lewis.
A friend of mine suggested I read Mark Driscoll's new book, A Call to Resurgence, and he asks the question: "Will Christianity have a funeral or a future?"
I'm not going to lie. I like Driscoll. I agree with about 97% of his teachings about the Chruch, the Bible, God, and the people of God. And I believe he's got a good handle on what's in store for Christianity in the very near future.
As citizens of the 21st century are drowning in the rapid currents of the new "tolerance" movement, Driscoll makes the point that we Christians need to know where we stand on issues such as gay marriage, abortion, and basic theological truths that many of us may have forgotten.
I loved this book. Not only because I agree with most of his statements and predictions, but because he explains this "brave new world" we're living in crystal clear, and reminds Christians that we can no longer sit on our butts and watch the world spiral out of control.
We've got to join in the chaos, because, really, it's not chaos at all. The world is heading in the direction God has planned – bad as it may seem now.
We just have to know how to live in it and stand strong.

Workout at Home (Fitness DVDs)
Since I haven't done any fitness DVD's, I can't give a personal review, but I was hoping that you could share in the comments section what DVD's you like and what you had good experiences with. I think other people could benefit from your knowledge.
Please share!

The two DVD's Ive found the best results with are:
-Jari Love Slim & Lean (a weight lifting DVD)
-Tone It Up's DVD (toneitup.com) - which combines weights & cardio. I've done this Jackie Warner one on and off for the past 4 years. It's filled with moves that aren't my regular ones, so it's a good challenge when I need a change. http://www.amazon.com/Workout-One-On-One-Training-Rebecca-Cardon/dp/B0015D20FY/ref=sr_1_fed1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1357095272&sr=8-6&keywords=exercise+dvd+jackie+warner
ReplyDeleteI have done the Insanity DVD's. And although they're very challenging, it was definitely a great workout! I never got bored, but I knew some days I was not looking forward to what I was going to be doing! I lost a couple of lbs but I know if I would have watched my eating habits more, I could have had a much bigger loss like others. Either way--it's great for cardio but doesn't do much with lifting other than body weight exercises
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of go-to Workout DVDs that I use:
Beginners/Low Impact - Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk. Its a 70 minute workout with cardio and strength training. Awesome workout, especially if someone is just getting started and wants to build endurance.
Intermediate - Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. OH MY. This will kick some butt; however, works wonders.
Hope this information helps!I personally love the gym but this is a GREAT workout system. Itll work you out - no equiptment needed!
I used it on days when i couldnt go to the gym during the Jamie Eason program and lost 15lbs and 10% body fat!- imacrazymomof4January 1, 2013 at 10:19 PM
This is more of a DVD that comes with a purchase of equipment. I purchased the TRX for my husband because I thought he would think it was an acceptable "manly" exercise program to do at home. He had this idea that he couldn't get a good workout unless he was at the gym. He did really like it, and it works, but I have found that I am the one that uses it the most! I love that it takes only 20 minutes and I feel some definite muscle fatigue. Once you do the DVD a few times it's easy to not need it which is nice too.
ReplyDelete I LOVE P90x-- I did it on top of running/cardio workouts I was already doing and it was really motivating especially seeing how quickly my body was changing for the better. Jillian Michaels also has awesome DVD's and her workouts are around 30 minutes or so which is time efficient and though short always make me sore!
For me, workout DVD's can bore me quickly {I love being outside or being in a class surrounded by other people} but I was challenged by P90x and Jillian michael's DVD's because the workouts were tough, quick, and I saw results!I was recommended a series of Jillian Michael DVDs by a friend of mine who has three kids and a full time job. She doesn't have time for an hour and a half workout everyday, so these truly worked for her. Trust me, she's in better shape than she was before her kiddos (and she was a marathon runner too) and she says she loves her body more now. I mix up between 30 Day Shred, Shred it with Weights, and 6 Week to 6 Pack. Each DVD has a series of 2-4 workout levels and is only 25-30 minutes each. I'm intrigued by her new series of DVDs called Body Revolution also.
ReplyDeleteI love workout DVDs, especially in the winter when it's still dark outside in the mornings and I don't feel motivated to drive to the gym in the cold temps!
Some of my personal favorites to build muscle:
- Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred
- Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 (more intense than 30 Day Shred
Cardio favorite:
-Turbo Fire (great for HIIT workouts)I can't say enough about the Physique 57 dvds, they have changed the way i think about exercise as well as changing my body. Here is the testimonial i wrote for their website "I received the 6 DVD set as a birthday present…I am totally in awe of how Physique 57 is changing my body and my life for the better. It has changed the way I think about fitness and I actually look forward to my workouts. So far I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 1 inch from my hips and 1/2 an inch from each thigh and my body has never felt stronger or looked more toned. This is the hardest hour you will ever love, I am a Physique 57 fan for life."
ReplyDeleteI think Jillian Michaels' workouts are great, but with all work-out DVDs, it gets kind of old after a while. I love, love, love the Nike Training App, though. It has so many different workouts to accommodate both your workout level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and what you are trying to accomplish (get toned, get lean, get focused...). I just do these workouts on my phone or iPad and actually prefer them to the gym.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to gym before but I love to workout at home because of my schedule made easier!
Here's my workout that I had successfully lost 20 lbs so far...
Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred
Turbo Fire programs
Physique 57 (that is my favorite barre workout)
Jessica Smith's Cardio ABS dvd (I Love her kickboxing and abs workouts, Pretty challenge!)
Ellen Barrett dvds (Mostly barre type of workout)I'm an advocate for Insanity and talk about it some on my fitness blog - www.i-heartfitness.blogspot.com. I also just love keeping some good workout equipment (i.e. Kettlebells, weights, bands, etc.) so I can workout while watching TV rather than just sitting there. For the most part though, like you, I run a lot outside (training for a half) and go to the gym. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI used Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 last year {finished 30 Day Shred first then moved on to Ripped in 30} and saw very impressive results. My husband even enjoyed using them. I love that they are only 30 minutes of your day and you get great results {and mix cardio, strength and abs}.
ReplyDelete- Sarah-NadineJanuary 2, 2013 at 11:27 AM
I had great success with the P90X routine. I did the classic and then switched to the Lean to burn more fat. Works great if you do follow the meal plan as well. After all iti s all about eating right while working out.
I also love the Physique 57 workouts, which give you the lean dancer body. I have quite a few DVDs. Bob Harper's "Inside Out Method" DVDs are some of my favorite but they are all very intense. I would say they are intermediate or advanced, but I like them because for whatever reason, I don't find Bob's voice annoying even after weeks of playing them. I own the whole series, but they are often only 5 bucks each on his website, and I've even seen them at Target. I love Jillian Michaels' "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD the best out of all hers, but her her voice can get a bit more annoying after a while.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2013 at 1:36 PM
I still use and love the Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVDs. They are older but it's a great work out. I also recommend the Jillian Michaels DVD, her workouts are intense.
ReplyDelete I have done Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, and it's awesome. It's only a 20 minute workout, and you think it would be really easy (I mean, it's only 20 minutes!)--but it's not. It's a hard workout, with three levels, each getting harder. Highly, highly recommend!
I also did Insanity. And this is definitely TOUGH. I think you probably need a good starting base to really get through this (without a lot of stopping), but I could be wrong. I'd say it was one of the best workouts of my life, and I got very trim.
Bottom line--you can have a good workout at home!I am a huge fan of Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred-I saw a noticeable difference and was impressed by how I looked and felt, and the workouts go by quickly. I am also a huge fan of the Lotte Berke Method Hip Hugger Abs. It will not give you a 6-pack, but it works quickly in "sucking" them back in. It has been my first exercise DVD after the birth of each child, and when I started slacking on weights, etc, and I noticed a pooch again, I knew it was the DVD to turn to. Can't recommend it enough for a quick, relaxing exercise.
www.myroseamongthorns.blogspot.comi really like the ballet beautiful dvd's. they are sorta pilates-esque and are better for toning, rather than major weight loss. she also has online workouts on balletbeautiful.com. it's great for supplementing a weight-heavy workout.

I use the Cindy Crawford workout video, joking, but does anyone remember that? Lots of swinging your arms and legs around!

I like Cathe Frederich's DVDs. They are easily available from Collage Video, online. You can preview each video before you buy. They sell a wide variety of videos.

I will never stop singing the praises of p90x! Tony Horton is more motivating to me than any other home fitness, DVD trainer. I had incredible results in my first 90 days and never looked back to the old way I used to live my life.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 3, 2013 at 6:31 PM
LOVE..LOVE..Love the " TURBO FIRE" w this super cute instructor who is so motivating. It's like P90X for chicks:)
ReplyDelete I love the Body by Bethenny yoga workout. I have it on Amazon Unbox on my iPad so that I can do it at the office gym at lunch. There's a second workout, but I haven't tried that one yet.
I feel strong and worked out, but not sweaty afteward. I've never been a big workout fan, so this does it for me.

95% of the tour did the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns. Supposedly it is more dense and warmer up there. We took 90min in a nice boat to the reef, and then get our gear and dive. It's kind of a small area, but the diversity of coral is amazing! I don't know anyone who did Whitsunday reef dive, so I can't answer about that.

I also don't know anyone that did the Whitsunday one – the Cairns one came much more highly recommended.
Plus, if you're sailing the Whitsundays you get to snorkel anyway. - 0 people like this

Hi, can anyone tell me what is included while on Daydream Island? Are the activities all classed as optional excursions eg the Outer Barrier Cruise etc or does Contiki provide a day cruise in the package? I saw something about Whitehaven Island? <!--graemlin::)-->

I did a snorkelling trip out of Port Douglas about ten years ago, and it was fantastic. They drop food off the platform to attract the fish, so they swim right up to you.

you just go to different parts of the reef depending which city you do it from. most choose to do it in Cairns- i did and loved it as i prefered to do the whitsundays day cruise and see whitehaven instead of going to reef when i can do it in cairns

Hey, Cairns is the place to do diving – it's a brilliant spot!
I did my first introductory dive then and I'd highly recommend it. Just one tip: if you're doing the reverse tour (i.e. starting North and going South rather than the other way round), the night before the reef trip is quite a big night out at the Woolshed, so be careful not to get too drunk. One guy on our tour was so incredibly hungover, he slept all the way on the boat out there and then had to cancel his dive because he didn't feel well enough – he's still disappointed about it!! - 0 people like this

Exclusive Movie Review Of Barfi! (2012) **Ranbir Kapoor ** By NDTV
Barfi! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barfi! (2012) - IMDb
Indo-Asian News Service
Friday, September 14, 2012Cast:Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Ileana d'Cruz
Director: Anurag Basu;
Silences seldom spoke so eloquently. It's been a while since we saw a film that set style at a subsidiary state to substance, put the characters' inner life ahead of the flamboyant manifestations of self-identity in a world governed by benevolence and charm.
Barfi! is a very charming film. It's remarkably devoid of vanity. The story of a deaf-and-mute man who could have grown up watching Chaplin and Raj Kapoor's cinema, and an autistic girl who has definitely not seen Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan, is told without the props of a loud background music and other prompters to get audiences' involved in the proceedings.
This is a picaresque world of artless charm which invites you in without band baaja or baaraati. Fanfare is for the circus. Barfi! is pure cinema.
Goodness! I am already gushing. It's the narcotic effect that Barfi has on you. Within no time at all you are swept into the protagonist's world, the two lovely women who breeze in and out of his existence and various other characters, all etched with a compassion and vividness that one associates with the cinema of Frank Capra and Ritwik Ghatak.
Barfi! exudes the warm glow of a life well lived. This dazzling glow originates from the protagonist Barfi who lives his life king-size with many Chapliesque comic antics creating a chain of comicbook adventures for our happy-go-looking hero, even though he can't speak or hear. But then speech was always supposed to be the least essential component of cinema. Ask Ingmar Bergman or Satyajit Ray. Their character spoke through lingering silences.
It's been a while since any protagonist on screen said so much to us without speaking. Rani Mukerji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black said it all through her muted mode of communication. But she had the formal sign language plus a voiceover for articulate support.
Significantly Anurag Basu, a master storyteller (and never mind the tormenting tepidity of his last film Kites) does away with the crutches of a sign language and a voiceover.
Ranbir Kapoor as Barfi or Murphy whatever!...is left to his own devices. An incredibly enterprising actor, he brings a Chaplinesque aura to Barfi's character. Blending a very physical pie-in-the-face style of comic acting with an intangible poignancy, Ranbir turns his character and the film into a muted celebration of life. The tears are hidden from view. But they are there.
His grandfather, Raj Kapoor, has never been very far from Ranbir's acting skills. Raj Kapoor was highly influenced by Chaplin. Ranbir brings both the legends into the same line of vision, and yet creates a character which is unique in its buoyancy and optimism, never mind the sleeping dogs. Just let them bark in their sleep.
Priyanka Chopra as the autistic Jhilmil steals the show from Ranbir, if that's possible. Lately, she has been found to be guilty of overacting in Agneepath and Anjaana Anjaani. (with Ranbir again). In "Barfi!", all her recent sins of excess are washed away.
Priyanka's inherent glamorous personality simply disappears into her character. We don't see the actress on screen at all! We see only Jhilmil who reminds us in a very pleasant way of Sridevi inSadma. This is one of the most flawless interpretations of a physical-psychological disability seen on celluloid.
While Ranbir and Priyanka effortlessly prove themselves the best actors of their generation, Ileana D'Cruz makes a confident engaging debut into Hindi cinema. Is she here to stay? Time will tell.
As for Basu, in his earlier films Gangster - A Love Story and Life... In A Metro, he proved himself a maestro of the inner life. Barfi! too is shot on location within the hearts of the characters. Not just the memorable protagonists, even the smaller players specially Roopa Ganguly and Akaash Khuruna and Haradhan Bandhopadhyay, leave a lingering impact.
Barfi! celebrates life without dismissing the dark passages and roadblocks that we often encounter as we travel through that craggy road to death.
To be able to celebrate life so warmly and sensitively the filmmaker has to know death closely. Basu, a cancer survivor, has been there.
Barfi! comes as close to being a modern masterpiece as cinematically possible. To miss it would be a crime. To embrace it is to serenade the sublime.

The "Sales High" -- Where Did It Go? By Ari Galper, Founder of Unlock The Game™ Send to a Friend Printable Version
When Michael called me from my website last week, he asked me if I could help him think through something that's been bothering him more and more over the past few years. Here's what he told me: "Ari, I'm having a problem. I'm just not enjoying selling anymore. I've been trained to look forward to that mental 'high' that comes with making a sale, but by the time I get through the 'cat-and-mouse' game of the sales process, and all the trials and tribulations that come with it, by the time the sale actually happens, it feels like a non-event. "It's almost as if I've spent so much personal energy chasing the sale that by the time I actually get it, I have this feeling of letdown. So I start wondering whether it's really worth the tension and stress of having to jump through hoops just to make the sale happen." Michael is by no means the first person to bring up this issue with me. In fact, quite a few people have told me that their feelings of sales letdown are making them question their own selling abilities and whether they have "what it takes." You see, if you look under the surface, what Michael's really saying is, "I'm beginning to feel that it's my fault. That I'm the one who's failing. I'm supposed to jump with joy when a sale comes through, but instead I feel like I had to give up a big part of me just to make it happen." The Real Cause of "Sales Letdown" Those negative feelings are caused by the long-term impact of the traditional selling "sales gurus" who teach that selling is all about making the sale, and that if you can just push through all the resistance and rejection, there's a slice of heaven waiting for you at the end of the sales "rainbow." The problem is, teaching that way of thinking is really damaging for people who sell. They take in that message, and when it doesn't happen for them, they think it's their fault. So it's actually the painful process of traditional selling that kills the "sales high" for people like Michael who try so hard to implement it. That's the real problem. The true "sales high" isn't found in making the sale. It's found in the ease and pleasure of connecting with a stranger, of having them trust you, of you solving their problem, and of their deciding to choose your solution. And that, I hope, should be a relief to anybody who's been feeling the same way Michael does. I'll say it one more time. Focusing on making the sale steals your sales energy because you feel you have to accept rejection. And that's what makes you feel as if you're failing. (I bet you haven't heard that explanation at any sales seminars you may have attended.) How the Mindset Eliminates Sales "Letdown" The Mindset eliminates "sales letdown" because it's all about staying focused on learning your prospect's truth. This means listening to what they're telling you and really hearing it. There's a certain sense of ease and confidence when you're willing to accept the truth about whether you and your prospect are truly a fit or not. And when you're open to hearing a truth-based "no" from a prospect and walking away whole, with no feelings of rejection or self-doubts about "What did I do wrong to lose this sale?"-- you realize the real power of the Mindset. Here are some of the differences between focusing on making the sale versus focusing on learning the truth:
Traditional Selling (When your goal is to make the sale...)
Unlock The Game® (When your goal is to learn your prospects truth...)
Your prospect senses that you're focused on moving the sales process forward to make your sale, not necessarily to help them.
Your prospect senses that you're relating to them with full integrity -- you're two human beings working together for a mutual outcome.
You listen to and hear what your prospects are telling you about their issues and concerns. You stay in the present and give them your full attention.
Maybe you're thinking, "Yeah, that all sounds great Ari, but I've got to make some sales to make a living." It's usually people who haven't experienced the Mastery Program who have that concern, because they can't imagine how they can be more successful with less effort. So maybe you'd like to look at this article, which explains how Unlock The Game can boost your sales results: http://www.UnlockTheGame.com/Numbers-Game-Shift. You'll see that when you can have relaxed, comfortable conversations with prospects, as if you're having a chat with a friend or acquaintance, you'll feel quite different when a sale results. When you haven't burned yourself out, you feel a huge sense of accomplishment when sales do happen...which they will. When you make sales based on integrity and by helping prospects solve their problems, "sales letdown" just isn't possible. You'll feel better at the end of each day, and you'll look forward to the next day's calls. You'll enjoy the process more, and when you make the sale, you'll feel satisfied, energized, and proud to have helped your prospect. What's more, you'll also be making progress toward meeting your financial goals. Tips for Building Mindset Habits Michael and I talked about several ways he could use the Mastery Program CDs and e-books to learn the Mindset and eliminate "sales letdown." Maybe you'll find some of these ideas useful as well... -- Before making a call, take a few moments to sit quietly. Tell yourself: "My only goal is to create a conversation that will build trust so I can learn my prospect's truth. Until I know that, I won't know whether I can help them or not." -- Develop a good problem statement or opening statement that describes the core problem or issue you know your product or service solves. This allows the conversation to open naturally and comfortably. -- If your mind starts jumping to "I've got to make this sale" while you're on a call, try closing your eyes. This will make it easier for you to focus on listening to and hearing your prospect. This is especially helpful early on in calls, when you're learning about your prospect's problems or issue, because you probably don't need to start taking notes until later. -- If you feel there's a potential fit between your prospect's problem and your solution, avoid launching into a pitch. Instead, ask, "Would it make sense for us to continue our conversation to see to what extent I can possibly help you?" -- After you make a call, take a minute or two to "debrief" yourself. Can you recall any moments when you sensed in your gut that you had created sales pressure or started pushing? Did you sense at any time that your prospect was pulling back and starting to defend themselves by trying to end the call? If so, think about how you can stay more focused on the conversation in the next calls you make. It's ironic, but letting go of trying to make the sale actually makes the sale more possible. To your success,
P.S. Got a "sales letdown" story? Please share it with me here.
"Learning to walk away may be the hardest part of selling because we've been so conditioned to pursue anyone who we believe could benefit from our solution or who shows interest in what we have to offer. The longer you've been in sales, the longer it may take you to rewind the tapes in your head."

This is the first in a series of scifi/fantasy law related stories I'm working on. This story is inspired by a real case in 1991 in which a buyer sued the seller for not disclosing that the house had a national reputation for being haunted. Up until this point, the state of New York had a strict caveat emptor rule for property, and Justice Rubin wrote, "Applying the strict rule of caveat emptor to a contract involving a house possessed by poltergeists conjures up visions of a psychic or medium routinely accompanying the structural engineer and Terminix man on an inspection of every home subject to a contract of sale." Justice Rubin decided to vacate the caveat emptor rule, but the dissent disagreed strongly. This story is set in a world where the dissent won. Ah, the things lawyers think about at Halloween.
This story began with a dream of being a mermaid swimming into the sea. I played around with making it the classic fairy tale of the orphan and the evil witch, but that just seems too cliche. I wanted characters who felt like people I knew. I wanted the Mermaids to actually be adapted to the ocean enviroment, instead of the creation of VERY lonely sailors. I also love the idea of what happens next in fairy tales (Into the Woods, anyone?), and I honestly hate the message of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid.' A sixteen year old girl who abandons her family for a man she has seen once (once!) gets daddy's blessing and eternal happiness? Not in any world I know. So I emphasized the mermaid's self-centeredness, made the witch someone who just does what she has to do to get by, made daddy mermaid bitter, introduced a granddaughter, and let the whole thing run.
A day in the life of Ted Clark, business and tax lawyer. Part of the law series, though this isn't based on any particular cases. Rather, this started as a way of exploring some of the stranger sides of tax law. Believe or not, everything in here is good law. Note: this is an altered version of the original story.

I'll say it again, "the more mundane, such as routine traffic stops, service requests, noise complaints and domestic disturbances" should be included in Danville Express. Danville residents need to see all the things that require the time of our Police Dept.
In any case, auto burglaries are becoming so common, in a short time, they too will be considered mundane. Go figure

Good evening,
I just wanted to take a moment to provide some additional information to clarify the "carjacking" reported in the police log.
The initial call that came into dispatch did indeed report it as a carjacking in process. That was what the witness interpreted the situation to be.
The responding officer, however, determined that it was a dispute which led to an arrest. However the log posting shows the original dispatch of the call.
We appreciate the attention that many of you give the log and will continue to work to provide accurate information in a timely fashion.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

Roughriders score six times in shutout win
COLDWATER - St. Marys pushed its record to 5-0-1 on the girls' soccer season as the Roughriders braved the rain to post a 6-0 win over Coldwater on Thursday at Village Hall Field in Coldwater.
It's the fourth shutout this season for the Roughriders, who have now outscored their opponents 37-2 in six games. Coldwater falls to 2-6 with the loss.
St. Marys got two first-half goals, the first coming just over eight minutes into the game when Hannah Yaney put a rebound into the back of the net. Then with just over 11 minutes to go in the half, Sara Lininger got a breakaway and shot the ball past a slipping Krista Wellman to make it 2-0 at the half.
"I told the girls at halftime I'm still not happy with the way we're playing," said St. Marys' coach Paul Dingledine. "We didn't possess the ball all that well. We needed to do a little bit better job possessing the ball."
The rain, which lightly started early in the match, picked up in intensity in the second half, which coincided with St. Marys also picking up the intensity. Molly Albert had two goals, at the 33:45 and 9:42 mark of the second half, to make it 4-0. Then in the final seven minutes, Ashley Hale came off the bench to score a pair of goals to wrap up the scoring.
"Ashley did a nice job coming off the bench," said Dingledine. "Got two nice goals. She filled that spot real nice. We'll take the W."
The Roughriders outshot the Cavaliers 21-4 in the contest. Wellman made 10 saves on the night while Roughriders' keepers Paige Dicus and Shelby Goodwin each made a pair of saves.
Even with the lopsided score, Coldwater's coach Scott Brinkman was happy with his team's defense against a high-calibre team.
"We know it's so hard for us to possess the ball, just to hold the ball and do much offensively," said Brinkman. "When we have to defend and defend against teams, they're going to score goals against us. I guess our hope is we don't allow too many and get an opportunity on our end."
St. Marys travels to Van Wert County on Saturday to face Lincolnview while Coldwater is off until Tuesday when the Cavaliers travel to Putnam County to face Continental.

Robin van Persie has been magnificent and Gareth Bale sensational but when assessing the season's best performers, no conversation would be complete without discussing Swansea's new star.
For the element of surprise and the sheer value for money, Michu has the edge on all his peers. The 26-year-old was such a left-field arrival in the English game that Sir Alex Ferguson, a manager here for more than 26 years, had never heard of him and Arsene Wenger admitted Michu had not been proposed by Arsenal's scouts.
The value in the Spanish market was analysed in yesterday's Standard Sport and Michu represents it more eloquently than most. His 13 goals have made him the third-highest scorer in the Premier League, three behind Van Persie and two adrift of Luis Suarez. His strikes make up 30 per cent of Swansea's total and, most remarkable of all, Michu is not even a centre-forward.
Swansea paid Rayo Vallecano just £2.2million for Michu. If you think there is anger at clubs such as Norwich, Southampton and Tottenham, who are believed not to have acted on recommendations, consider how Rayo must feel.
Michu scored 15 times last season, the fourth-most prolific Spanish player in La Liga, yet the low buy‑out clause in his contract meant Rayo were powerless to prevent his departure. Should Michu, as is possible, leave Swansea at the end of the season for a high fee, it would be interesting to know the reaction in Vallecas, the neighbourhood of Madrid in which Rayo are based.
Michu began life as a professional with his home-town club, Real Oviedo, in the northern region of Asturias, before moving to Celta Vigo in 2007.
When Celta, then in the second division, reached the quarter‑finals of the Copa del Rey in 2010, Michu was a prominent influence, playing on the left of an attacking trident just behind the lone forward.
Rayo took a chance in the summer of 2011 and shifted Michu into a more central position. That tactical wisdom was not, however, matched in the contractual department. Michu was offered only a two-year deal with that relatively cheap clause. As soon as Michu started to demonstrate his quality, Rayo knew they were vulnerable, and Swansea manager Michael Laudrup's knowledge of Spanish football did the rest.
The presence of compatriots Angel Rangel, Chico Flores and Pablo Hernandez made Michu feel at ease quickly in south Wales, and excellent performances have followed. Could this season and last prove to be the exceptions in an otherwise run-of-the-mill career? Not so, says Terry Gibson, the former Tottenham forward and Spanish football expert who worked as a scout in Spain for Bolton and Manchester City.
"If he'd been a flash in the pan, he wouldn't have been able to build on his year at Rayo," Gibson argued. "Swansea's style of play suits him and if he does move, he'd need to go somewhere with a similar approach.
"He's not a pure centre-forward who likes to play with back to goal, so I could see him at Arsenal or Tottenham. The difficulty for Swansea will be to hold on to him."
If Michu leaves the club after helping to them to their first major honour in the English game, his departure is likely to be forgiven.

Prep time
15 mins
Cook time
25 mins
Total time
40 mins
(Adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor's How to Cook Indian. Makes 8-10 servings)
Holy Cow! Vegan Recipes
Recipe type:
½ cup chana dal
½ cup udad dal
½ cup rajma or red kidney beans
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder, like paprika or cayenne if you like some heat
½ tsp turmeric
1 tbsp ginger, grated or ground into a paste
6 cloves of garlic, grated or ground into a paste
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1 onion, minced
¼ cup kasoori methi
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp vegan butter, like Earth Balance
Cook the legumes. I will share with you here my "shortcut" way of doing this-- because rajma takes much longer to cook than the two lentils, and because I don't always remember to presoak my beans, I faux-soak the rajma by covering it with 2 inches of water in a microwave-safe dish, zap it for about 10 minutes, add more water if needed, and then zap again for another 10 minutes. Then I place the legumes and the rajma in a pressure cooker and cook them together. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cover the lentils and the soaked rajma with water in a large saucepan, slap on a lid, and cook about an hour.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
Add the ginger and garlic, saute for a minute on a medium-low flame, and then add the onions.
Saute the onions until brown spots appear, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric powders and salt to taste. Add the tomatoes and saute until they are cooked down, about five minutes.
Now add the cooked lentils and stir well to mix. Add some water if the dal is too thick.
Cover with a lid and cook about 8-10 minutes for all the flavors to meld together. Crush the kasoori methi with your fingers and sprinkle over the dal. Mix in the butter and stir until it's melted into the dal.
Stir in the cilantro, turn off the heat, and serve hot.

This is nothing new.AdvertisementBut the Chinese are taking it one step further: Girls, and we mean children, are being dressed in bikinis to sell cars. What the hell?This comes from the Chutian Auto Culture Festival, where small girls were on stage alongside the models. The worst part is that they were reportedly "scantily clad, wearing tall boots, and swaying their hips." The children were volunteered for the event by their parents and were young. Seriously young. Two of them were five.This is not cool. The concept of the Booth Professional is always to attract attention. Typically, this just means attractive men and women dressed in an appealing, but not overtly sexual way. When it's bikinis, however, there is some level of overt sexualization.AdvertisementSo how do they justify it? Zhang Ping, the exhibition director, said "If you type 'children' and 'bikini' in an internet search engine, you will find hundreds of thousands of results bikini contests for children."Just because you can type something into Google doesn't make it right.(Hat Tip to @jesusdiaz!)AdvertisementSponsoredPhoto Credit: AFPReply149 repliesLeave a reply

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) recently issued a new Bulletin 2013-29 containing substantially more onerous risk management guidance for third-party business relationships (3PRs) of national banks and federal savings associations. Predicated on concerns about the growing volume, diversity, and complexity of both domestic and foreign 3PRs and what OCC identifies as new or increased risks?operational, compliance, reputation, strategic, and credit?attending such relationships, the Bulletin updates prior OCC guidance on 3PRs.
Other agencies, such as the FDIC, have previously issued guidance on risk management for 3PRs and identified heightened concerns regarding what they view as higher-risk activities. (Our recent legal alert discussed the FDIC's new supervisory approach to payment processing relationships?direct, or indirect through third parties (3Ps)?with merchants engaged in higher-risk activities.)
The Bulletin develops a theme intoned by Comptroller Thomas J. Curry in a September 2013 speech in which he announced a program of "heightened expectations" for large banks, such as "strong" internal controls and audit functions ("satisfactory" ratings will no longer be acceptable) and "significant engagement" by directors, including the knowledge and focus to present a "credible challenge" to management.
OCC intends to issue regulations formalizing its "heightened expectations" program. The Bulletin moves in that direction by stressing the integration of 3PR risk management into an institution's strategic goals and risk appetite, all of which should be embodied in a plan and board-approved policies for selection, assessment (including due diligence), and monitoring of vendors, consultants, and others with whom the bank does business. For 3PRs involving "critical activities" (e.g., payments, clearing, settlements, custody) or significant shared services (e.g., IT), that could pose material risks to the bank, the Bulletin indicates that OCC examiners will expect to find comprehensive and rigorous oversight by the bank and its senior management.
The Bulletin contains a fairly detailed discussion of a national bank's responsibilities in the life cycle of 3PRs:
While much of the Bulletin is sensible enough in the abstract, the additional compliance burden will be substantial and costly, particularly for community banks, which often must outsource necessary functions that they cannot realistically perform in-house. Although Comptroller Curry's "heightened expectations" as described in his September speech were explicitly directed only at large banks, the Bulletin conspicuously notes its own applicability to community banks. Unfortunately, the capacity of private sector financial institutions to shoulder a cumulative and ever-increasing compliance burden is not unlimited.
The actions that the Bulletin requires national banks to take with regard to 3PRs include the following:
We are unconvinced that many 3Ps involved in 3PRs, which largely comprise unregulated, nonfinancial businesses, will find the level of intrusiveness contemplated by the Bulletin acceptable. This is particularly true for those 3Ps (like some cloud computing businesses) whose market share could result in their bank customers, of whatever size, having insufficient leverage to negotiate for what the Bulletin contemplates. The OCC's expectation that a 3P that is not itself a regulated entity would, by virtue of doing business with a national bank or federal thrift, become (or contractually consent to become) "subject to OCC examination oversight, including access to all work papers, drafts, and other materials" is, in our view, a disincentive for 3Ps to do business with national banks and federal thrifts.
Thus, the natural consequence (perhaps unintended) of the Bulletin will likely be a reduction in the number of 3Ps willing to do business with federally chartered depository institutions or increased costs to such institutions for 3P goods and services. Unless the Federal Reserve and the FDIC promulgate similarly burdensome guidance, the Bulletin will result in a competitive advantage for state-chartered institutions.

The third-season premiere of "Game of Thrones" is more than three months away, but series star Emilia Clarke was already out promoting it Monday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
Clarke, 25, is the striking British-born actress who plays Daenerys "Dany" Targaryen — also known by the title "the Khaleesi" — on the fanciful HBO series about warring factions in a place resembling medieval England. On the series, she's known for her pale, blonde hair, but that's a wig, the dark-haired Clarke revealed on "JKL."
"Game of Thrones" is due to start its third season on HBO on March 31. But with Clarke on his show this week, Kimmel took the opportunity to ask her about the upcoming season.
"Will we see you do battle? Does the Khaleesi join the war?" Kimmel wanted to know, demonstrating that he probably does follow the show, as he claimed to do on Monday's show. He was referring to the ongoing battles for territory and supremacy that are the hallmark of this series, which is based on a series of books by George R.R. Martin.
"Well, yes," Clarke revealed, "in Season Three, Khaleesi gets properly bad-ass." It was all she would reveal about the upcoming season, but the prospect of the 5'3″ Dany engaging in pitched battle was a tantalizing tidbit.
Kimmel also asked Clarke about a particular scene he mentioned at least twice — when Dany ate a raw horse's heart. Clarke revealed that the thing was fake, obviously — and made up of edible material that gave it the consistency of "a giant Gummy Bear," but one smeared with fake blood. Unfortunately, the fake blood "sort of tasted like bleach," she said.
This high-profile role in "Game of Thrones" is Clarke's first-ever role in anything, which she admitted was a lucky break — and one that's exceedingly rare for a young actress. "I did drama school and then I auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' and they stupidly put me on it — [and] stuck a wig on me!" she told Kimmel.
One subject Kimmel didn't bring up: Her widely reported relationship with "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane. Rumors that they were a couple flared up all over the place following the Emmy Awards last September (which MacFarlane hosted). She did get to mention another upcoming project, however: She's set to star on Broadway in a new stage adaptation of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," starting in February.

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP opened the day at 0.7891, hesitated a bit, and edged higher tracing the pound weakness; it is trading at 0.79 are at the moment.
Below 0.79
The pair finally broke below 0.79 area yesterday, although it was not an easy task to do. Despite the mild attempts to settle above 0.79 again, the move may be of short-term nature.The weakness of the euro is the key factor for now, and since the CPI data from the euro zone is on tap, we may get another reason to move. If inflation data doesn't meet expectations significantly, it may trigger the pair's reaction. Otherwise, the cross is bound for consolidation on the back of very few catalysts.
What are today's key EUR/GBP levels?
Today's central pivot point can be found at 0.7901, with support below at 0.7880, 0.7869 and 0.7848 with resistance above at 0.7912, 0.7933, and 0.7944. Hourly Moving Averages are bearish, with the 200SMA at 0.7939 and the daily 20EMA bearish at 0.7967. Hourly RSI is bearish at 30.

It'll give what most of user will seek, great details, dynamics, stunning vocals and mid-range and even some bass, you just can't get fatigued with it, even when listening for hours... I'm not a guy who prefers having a subwoofer in a room, but, the reviews are also true, it can sound a bit too bright at a times and I can't stand the lack of low frequencies any more. Bass can be quite low, but it's just, like missing sometimes.
I've tried a few amplifiers, DA converters and even pairing with different cables, ending up with a Lehmann Audio Rhinelander and Stello DA 100 signature in my possession. The sound improvements were huge, more details, wider soundstage, better dynamics and similar, but the problem of being too bright still exists. Naim Headline gets the things a bit straightened, but unfortunately, it's out of my league :(
Anyway, my Grado was sold and I've got some time and a wish to spend roughly 600 euros for an upgrade :) There are a few headphones that got my attention. I like the grado sound (except for being too bright at a times) and could be a good idea just to upgrade to a higher series, something like PS 500 or RS 2. If I could just find a grado similar to sr325is with a darker sound and better presentation of low frequencies, it will be a straight match for me. The biggest problem is that I'm not in a opportunity to listen to them unless I order them first (like lol, right? ). So, if anyone has experience with one of these, I'd be grateful to write a few words. I've read that PS 500 is an expert in bass in this class, I'm very curious about that.
Another thing just came up, a Beyerdynamics T1 for just a 100euros more! Anyone tried that? :) It's not grado, it's semi-open and could be quite a problem for my Lehmann, but I'm open for a change and any other recommendation, if someone has :)

Pallekele: Aug 5, 2012
Stand-in-skipper Angelo Mathews conceded that Sri Lanka made too many mistakes in their 20-run defeat against India in the fifth One-Day International at Pallekele on Saturday.
"We know that the Indians have a very good batting line-up and we knew that from the start of the series. But we made too many mistakes," he said.
However, Mathews was happy with the performance of youngsters in the team.
"It was encouraging to see youngsters like Lahiru Thirimanne and Jeevan Mendis taking on the challenge and taking responsibility and trying to finish off the game. But, unfortunately we fell short by 20 runs and also we gave away a bit more runs in the field. It was just one of those days," he was quoted as saying by the official website of BCCI.
Mathews was impressed by the performance of Jeevan Mendis and called him an asset.
"He (Jeevan Mendis) works really hard and he is a wonderful asset for us and Thirimanne as well," Mathews concluded.

the victim cries from alliance players will shatter the internet it.. well, ANY alliance character dies in the raid.
Seriously, this again is an example of blizzard making the mistake of listening to the obnoxious fanbase to much. They cried for more warwarwar, so they get given it.. but if any of there (alliances) characters die in the war, then its right back to 'blizzard favors the horde more then us!!'
I really wish the developers would just stick and finger up, tell them where to go, and do whatever they want with the lore.

When liberals cannot debate an issue on its merits, they quickly resort to name calling. Disagree with President Obama on policy and you will be called a racist. Disagree with proponents of same-sex marriage (SSM) and you will be called a bigot. Unfortunately, when debating important political and cultural issues, the old maxim about "sticks and stones" does not apply. Name calling as a debating tactic, though disingenuous, does offer liberals two important benefits: 1) It covers up the fact that their argument has no merit, and 2) It turns the tables on conservatives, forcing them to defend themselves against the vile names they are being called.
Because SSM is so difficult to justify on the basis of merit, its proponents have stopped debating and now simply resort to name calling. Currently, their epithet of choice for opponents of SSM is bigot. Calling someone who opposes SSM a bigot is the same as saying there can be no rationale, legitimate reason for opposing the concept. Hence, the issue is non-negotiable and there can be no debate—precisely what SSM proponents want. But calling someone a bigot does not make them one. The Oxford American Dictionary defines a bigot as: "…a person with strong and prejudiced views who will not listen to the opinions of others." This definition is ironic because it is the proponents of SSM who refuse to listen and, instead, resort to name calling as a way to cut off debate rather than engage in reasonable discussion and attempt to refute the views of opponents.
There are numerous logical, sound, non-bigoted reasons for opposing SSM. Here are just a few of them:
• Proponents of SSM attempt, for obvious reasons, to define marriage on the basis of such nebulous concepts as love and devotion. If marriage is defined in this manner, an individual should be allowed to marry anything as long as he loves it and is devoted to it. Follow this reasoning to its logical conclusion. If love and devotion define marriage, one could marry a pet or one of his own children. Before dismissing this contention as ridiculous, consider this. There was a time when the concept of SSM would have been considered just as ridiculous.
• Homosexuals already have all of the rights that non-homosexuals enjoy including hospital visitation, naming non-relatives as heirs in their wills, co-habitation, etc. Proponents of SSM do not want equal rights and privileges—they want special rights and extra privileges.
• Proponents of SSM claim that it is a civil right. It is not. Sexual preference is hardly comparable to race. The people who braved injury and death during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s were seeking the right to vote, eat in restaurants, drink out of water fountains, send their children to the schools of their choice, and other basic rights guaranteed in the Constitution. They were not marching to be allowed to engage in SSM.
• Proponents of SSM refuse to acknowledge that they already have the same rights to marriage as anyone else. They can marry another individual of the opposite sex.
SSM is an unsettled issue that has many fair-minded opponents. As such it should be open to debate, discussion, and argument. Calling opponents of the concept bigots is an unworthy tactic to cut off debate and render SSM non-negotiable. (This article is based on material from by Summit Ministries).

DEARBORN, Mich. - Results at Ford Motor Co. could test investors' willingness to hang in during a year of lower profits on the promise of better returns ahead.
Ford said Thursday its first-quarter net income fell 39 per cent to $989 million, or 24 cents per share. That's down from $1.64 billion, or 41 cents per share, in the January-March period a year ago.
Dearborn-based Ford had warned that this year would be leaner than 2013, when it enjoyed a near-record pretax profit of $8.65 billion. It's a transition year for the company, which is launching a record 23 vehicles worldwide and building seven plants, including four in China.
That means a lot of up-front costs that won't immediately pay off. For example, Ford is halting production at its U.S. truck plants for 13 weeks this year to prepare for the launch of the new aluminum-clad F-150. It won't see substantial sales of the truck until next year.
The results also held some surprises for investors, including a $400 million contribution to Ford's warranty reserves and $100 million in higher shipping costs and other weather-related charges from the brutal winter.
Excluding a charge for plant closings in Europe, Ford earned 25 cents. That was far short of Wall Street's expectations. Analysts polled by FactSet forecast earnings of 31 cents per share. Ford's shares fell 3.3 per cent to $15.78 in afternoon trading.
Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks promised that results will improve in subsequent quarters. Ford still expects a full-year pretax profit in the $7 billion to $8 billion range despite volatility in South America, Russia and Turkey, he said.
"We feel that we're moving forward very nicely in what we expect for the year, and it's setting us up for stronger growth and stronger profitability in 2015," Shanks told reporters Friday.
Revenue rose slightly to $35.9 billion. Worldwide sales were up 6 per cent to nearly 1.6 million.
Most analysts were resigned to slogging through 2014 with Ford on the expectation of an upside next year.
"We think Ford is on track for meaningful net income improvement in 2015," said S&P Capital IQ analyst Efraim Levy, who has a "Buy" opinion on Ford's shares.
Ford's powerhouse North America division, which led it out of the recession five years ago, slipped in the first quarter. Sales fell 2.4 per cent, the first year-over-year decline in the region in nearly two years, hurt by bad weather and low buyer interest in smaller, fuel efficient cars like the Focus and C-Max hybrid. While the F-Series pickup continued to see gains, sales of other big sellers like the Fusion sedan and Escape SUV fell from last year.
North American pretax profit fell 37 per cent to $1.5 billion. Revenue in the company's most profitable region fell 5 per cent to $20.4 billion.
North America took the $400 million hit for warranty and repair costs. The company said costs for warranty claims have been rising, so it decided to add $340 million to its reserves this quarter for vehicles from the 2008 through 2013 model years. Ford said the decision wasn't related to the spate of first-quarter recalls at rival General Motors Co.
Ford also spent $60 million on two first-quarter recalls of older-model Crown Victoria sedans and Escape SUVs.
In a role reversal, Asia and Europe were the sources of Ford's biggest sales growth. Ford's Asia Pacific region posted a record $291 million pretax profit, reversing a $28 million loss from a year ago. First-quarter sales soared 45 per cent in China to 271,321 vehicles.
European sales, long a sore point for Ford, rose 11 per cent to 326,000. The company cut its European losses by more than half, to $194 million.
South America remains a struggle for Ford. There, losses more than doubled to $510 million as industry sales dropped and Ford accounted for the effects of unfavourable currency exchange rates.
Also Friday, CEO Alan Mulally, 68, said there is no change in the plan for him to stay with the company at least through the end of this year. Recent reports have speculated that Mulally will leave the company sooner and Mark Fields, Ford's chief operating officer, will become CEO.

ShipIt - software release tool
Releasing a new version of software takes a lot of steps... finding the next version number (and making sure you didn't already use that version number before), making sure your changelog is updated, making sure your "make dist" results in a tarball that builds, commiting changes (with updated version number), tagging, and uploading the tarball somewhere.
Or maybe more steps. Or not some of the above. Maybe you forgot something! And maybe you manage multiple projects, and each project has a different release process.
This is all a pain in the ass.
You want to be hacking, not jumping through hoops.
Your contributors want to see their patches actually make it into a release, which won't happen if you're afraid of releases.
shipit automates all the hell. It makes life beautiful.
Three steps: run "shipit --write-config" to make a dummy/template config, edit config file, then run "shipit" again
Step 1/3: Write out template config file
In the root directory of your project, run:
$ shipit --write-config
And it'll bring up your $EDITOR, so you can do step 2...
Step 2/3: Tweak your config file
The default config file is something like:
# auto-generated shipit config file.
steps = FindVersion, ChangeVersion, CheckChangeLog, DistTest, Commit, Tag, MakeDist
# svn.tagpattern = MyProj-%v
# svn.tagpattern = http://code.example.com/svn/tags/MyProj-%v
# CheckChangeLog.files = ChangeLog, MyProj.CHANGES
Tweak away. You may want to add the "UploadCPAN" step at the end of steps, as it isn't included by default. It requires cpan-upload or cpan-upload-http installed.
The comma-separate steps are ShipIt::Step subclasses. Each one may or may accept additional config, as you can see the CheckChangeLog step does. (although CheckChangeLog by default figures it out, how your changelog files are named)
All values have sensible defaults, and any missing/extra keys generate errors.
For more info on svn.tagpattern, see ShipIt::VC::SVN.
Step 3/3: Run 'shipit' again
From the root directory of your project, where your new .shipit config file is, type shipit:
you@host:~/proj$ shipit
And then it does the rest, after verifying with you the version number you want to release.
If you're really cautious, run with "shipit --dry-run" instead.
If you'd like to contribute to ShipIt (with either a bug report or patch), see:

Title | Glenn Joseph "Jake" Lawlor: Oral Autobiography of an Iowa Native, with a Close-up View of Nevada Athletics, 1926-1971 |
Oral History # | 044 |
Interviewee | Lawlor, Glenn Joseph, 1907-1980 |
Interview Date | 1970-1971 |
Document Date | 1971 |
Description | Glenn J. "Jake" Lawlor was for more than five decades one of the best-known sports figures in Nevada. A native of Iowa and at nineteen already an accomplished athlete, Lawlor arrived in Nevada in 1926 to attend the university at Reno. There, in company with his brother, he achieved recognition for outstanding performances in baseball, basketball, and football. The Lawlor brothers were familiar to hundreds of spectators at sports events all over the West during the 1920s. After graduation from the University of Nevada in 1930 and a brief career in professional baseball, Jake Lawlor became a high school coach at Virginia City, Nevada, where he served as mentor for high school, elementary school, and town athletes from 1932 to 1937. Leaving Virginia City to pursue graduate studies, he subsequently accepted a new coaching assignment at Delano, California, where he coached the teams of the Delano Joint Union High School from 1938 to 1942, visiting often in Reno to see friends or for summer work. In 1942, Jake Lawlor returned to the University of Nevada, where he served as coach in nearly every sport, as a friend and advisor to hundreds of students, and as an inspiration both to young players and to other coaches. Lawlor was at the university during its brief "big time" sports era and through years of retrenchment in the athletics program. He was coach to both outstanding professionals and to youngsters who just enjoyed a good game. Many, if not most, of the present-day high school coaches in Nevada learned their craft from Jake Lawlor; probably thousands of students acquired the elements of sports and sportsmanship under his tutelage. Lawlor's oral history ranges widely over nearly all segments of his lengthy career. |
