The Bengals' defense has suffered a major blow today in Detroit.
Cincinnati cornerback Leon Hall, the Bengals' best defensive back, has suffered an Achilles injury. The Bengals have already declared him out for the rest of the game, and although we won't know the full extent of the injury until Hall has an MRI, with an Achilles injury there's a good chance that Hall is done for the season.
The injury took place on a fairly routine play: Hall was covering Calvin Johnson in the end zone, and both men leapt up for a high pass that went out of bounds. Hall landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed his ankle. Although he was able to walk off the field under his own power, he appeared to be fighting back tears and looked like a man who feared his season is over.

The Cowboys believe second-year defensive end Tyrone Crawford may have suffered a torn Achilles, director of player personnel Stephen Jones indicated Sunday, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN Dallas.
MRI results will be needed to confirm Crawford's injury, per MacMahon. A torn Achilles could conceivably threaten to end his 2013 season. Crawford was injured on Sunday, the first day of training camp practices for Dallas.
The 23-year-old Crawford appeared in all 16 games in 2012 for Dallas, recording 20 tackles. Were he lost for the season, the Cowboys' D-line depth behind starters DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer would be thinned.
According to Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas, Jones indicated Sunday that the club could look to add a defensive lineman. The Cowboys currently have 89 players on their roster.

Rockstar Games gets lots of hate. And that's a shame, because Rockstar makes good games, which make lots of money. So we guess that balances it, so whatever. Here's company co-founder/president Sam Houser on that:
Most of the people who hate us are people it is truly an honour to be hated by — reactionary creeps with strange agendas — and the Daily Mail. Most people who know about modern pop culture know about GTA and like or dislike it on its own merits...
I think we [Sam and his brother and co-founder Dan]are both depressed at how boring we really are and how unexciting even the worse fabrications and exaggerations are when you read about them. None of it seems very rock and roll, so we find it a little sad, when there are probably better stories that could be written about both us and the industry/medium. No sharks, groupies or pounds of coke or anything fun at all. We read like angry dorks, which might be true, but is certainly not very exciting.
So all you haters, just think of Rockstar as angry dorks. That, and take deep breaths.

Julianne R needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 75 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Cor Cleaning Inc.
Honestly, I started this company out of necessity. I only had a handful of customers. Then the company began to grow on its own. The referals came rapidly and I never had to advertise. I quickly went from a single person company to needing employees.
I clean everything from small single family homes to large upscale "mansions". Our company has also gotten into doing new construction clean up and trash-outs.
All of the employees are women at this point. They are all trained to be extremely detail oriented. My team of employees are friendly, sweet, honest, reliable, and hard working women. We view ourselves as customer orientated! It's a great team to work with.
We would like to target two different audiences. First and foremost we are looking to expand into the more upscale market. These include homes that have more than 3 levels to their home and their income levels are in the 3 digits and above.
Secondly we want to market to our existing customers that we are offering a new fresh choice when choosing a cleaning service. For example we are moving towards a more "green" feel in our company and want to offer safe alternatives to your everyday household cleaning products.
We have come up with a list of words that we would like our logo to envelope.
- Detailed
- Crisp
- Clean
- Honest
- Reliable
- Hard Working
- Solution orientated
- Green
- Flexible
- Customer Orientated

Charles Dolan Receives Ellbogen Lifetime Teaching Award
A retired UW Professor is receiving a lifetime award for nearly 22 years of his time put into teaching students.
According to a UW release, retired Professor Charles Dolan of the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering has been named the winner of the 2013 John P. Ellbogen Lifetime Teaching Award.
The University says the Ellbogen Lifetime award is given out to the invidividual who has had a long, promising, and established career of a faculty member whose exceeded expectations at UW.
"A goal I had set for myself was to teach the fundamentals and practice of engineering and, at the same time, instill in the students a sense of wonder of what can be accomplished, and an understanding beyond that which occurs in textbook learning," Dolan says.
Robert Ettema, the UW College of Engineering and Applied Science Dean says "Our faculty tend to focus largely on technical skills, but Charlie truly understands that soft skills, including teamwork and communication, are every bit as important to the success of our graduates."
The release goes on to say Dolan arrived at UW in 1991 as an associate professor of structural engineering. Dolan worked his way up to UW's H.T. Person Chair of the Engineering Department in 2003. Dolan has been elected UW's Top Professor in 1995, 2003, and 2010.
The University states prior to teaching at UW, Dolan taught at the University of Cornell, Delaware, and Massachusetts.
"A teacher's job is to open a door to new ideas," Dolan says. "Whether the student passes through the door or passes by the door depends, to a large degree, on how much interest is generated on the other side. My goal has been to generate interest, push some to higher levels and bring along those who are lagging."

Mike and Danny: Stuff Happens
Note that these stories, including this one, are not an endorsement of unsafe sex. They take place many years before the appearance of AIDS and before it was standard practice to use condoms to reduce the risk of infection from sexually transmitted diseases. Remember always: that was then, this is now. Sex is precious, and so are life and health.
Chapter 4
At Hyannis, Kirk turned off the highway onto a graded dirt road. They were just six miles now from Don's ranch. He was still deciding what to do with Virgil when they got there.
"Can you ride a horse?" he asked Virgil.
"Know anything about cattle?"
"If you want to stay out here, you're gonna have to earn your keep somehow."
Virgil shrugged. "I'm not afraid to learn."
That wouldn't be enough for Don. There were always good hands around willing to work for almost nothing.
But if Don took a look at Virgil and said he didn't need him, that would get Kirk off the hook. Virgil could hang around a couple days if he wantedsee what ranch work was really likeand then hit the road.
Kirk would drive him and his duffel bag to the highway to stick out his thumb and head back to Mike's place or back to collegewhich, face it, is where a college boy belongs anyway.
And for Kirk, everything could return to normal. Such as it was.
In the meantime, his intention was to finish the job he'd started that morning in Mike's barn. He wanted to bend this kid over a bale of hay or a barrel and feel his dick sliding into him.
It would be a long, dry spell before he got any action like that again. Turning up a queer cowboy in these parts on a Saturday night in town was like finding balls on a steer.
It would also settle for him again what he waswhich is what he had been before he broke one of his rules with Virgil. Two rules, in fact, though there'd been no rule about kissing another man. He hadn't needed one.
He shook his head again, wondering at the impulse that had come over him.
He'd finally used a wad of Copenhagen to get the taste of Virgil's cum out of his mouth. But even then, the memory of it lingered, and it came to him again now. Gamy and something almost likewhat?buttermilk.
"When are we gonna do that again?" Virgil had asked, stirring in his levi's and pulling at the denim between his legs, like the memory of it was giving him a hard-on.
Kirk had just looked over at him and finally said, "Keep your britches on."
There was this about Virgil. He was like a kid in a candy store. At eighteen, Kirk had already learned about the world, that you were on your own and you had to look out for yourself. The only times he got into trouble were when he forgot that.
And he hadn't been in trouble now for a long time. Not that kind of trouble anyway.
But Virgil seemed still young and untouched by any real experiences. Unscarred and unscared. He was a bad accident waiting to happen. He'd have to grow up and learn the hard way that you can't trust anyoneespecially a man who might try to fuck you. And he had no business trusting Kirk.
"That's where we're going," he said, pointing ahead to a turn-off under an old-fashioned timber archway with the name of Don's ranch on a wind-tilted sign beside it:
Cavanaugh Cattle Company
Purebred Charolais
In operation since 1966
Cavanaugh was Don's father-in-law.
A one-lane driveway led over a cattle grid and around a low hill to a cluster of ranch buildings with several good-size cottonwood trees. Don's big pickup was parked by the side of the house, and the windmill beside the barn turned sharply in the breeze.
Beyond the bunkhouse, Kirk could see the truck that belonged to Slim, one of Don's hired hands. It was an old hulk of a rattletrap that must have rolled off the assembly line before Pearl Harbor. Besides a herd of cows in a pasture behind the barn, there was no other sign of life.
The cows, Kirk knew, were the ones having calves. Don or Slim would be in the barn, looking after the new-borns, helping the cows with the hard deliveries and the problems. It wasn't always easy work.
Calves would try to come out the wrong way, or they'd get their legs tangled up inside. You'd have to reach in and straighten out what you could. Or you might have to use a contraption with chains that pulled on the calf while the mama cow pushed.
It was man's work, for damn sure, and though it was a bloody mess, with cowshit underfoot, Kirk liked it. He'd learned what he knew from Slim, who was an old fart cowboy, but an expert.
"Take a deep breath out here," he said to Virgil as they stepped from the truck. "Hard telling what it'll be like in the barn."
Virgil did like he said, and they walked inside, where they found Don and Slim leaning over a pen watching a cow with twin calves. Don was looking tired and grinning like he'd given birth to them himself.
Slim was gimping around like he'd gotten hurt, or old age had bit him again in the ass. Turns out he'd been in the hospital for an operation and was still recuperating. Meanwhile, the other hand, George, had taken offjust like a redskinleaving Don to run the whole show by himself.
"Where the hell have you been?" Don said to Kirk, "You were supposed to be here days ago." But he was too glad to see him to be really pissed off.
"Got held up," Kirk told him, without going into details.
"Who's your friend?" Don said, seeing Virgil. "Is he looking for a job?"
"I sure am, sir," Virgil said, stepping forward to introduce himself.
And after a few questions, Don hired him. Kirk just stood there, trying not to look surprised.
Almost before they knew it, Don had put them to work. The herd in the calving pasture behind the barn had been waiting since morning to be fed, and then in what was left of the afternoon, Don wanted them to go out over the ridge on the far end of the ranch and bring in some cows that had slipped out of a gate left open too long by a couple hunters who were after a coyote they'd seen cross onto his land.
"Dammit," Don had said. "That's the last time I let those boys on this ranch. They're more trouble than the goddam coyotes."
"You want me to take along a rifle in case we see it?" Kirk had volunteered.
"Hell, no. Just bring in those cows," Don said. "The job don't require firearms."
When he looked at Virgil, bare headed, he told him he'd need a hat if he didn't have one and gave him a feed cap that was hanging there in the barn gathering dust. It was too big and came down to his ears, but it would do.
Out in the hay barn, Virgil climbed up onto the stack of bales and started handing them down to Kirk, who stood on a flat bed wagon, putting them in rows at one end.
Virgil showed he was strong enough. He tossed around bales like they weighed next to nothing. And as Kirk looked up, he could watch the back of Virgil's jeans, his butt emerging under his coat whenever he bent over.
No doubt about it. The kid had a nice ass. Kirk wished he had fifteen minutes to pull down Virgil's levi's and go to town on it right there in the hay barn, but they didn't have five minutes to spare. The cattle bawling out in the pasture wouldn't shut up until they'd been fed.
"We're done," he called up to Virgil when they had enough, and he waited at the bottom of the hay pile as Virgil slid down to him. He put out his hand to slip between Virgil's legs and for a moment held his crotch, warm and full, as their chests bumped together.
Then he put one finger between the buttons of Virgil's fly and wiggled it there against his soft underwear and the skin and hair he could feel under it.
"You know what comes next, right?" he said.
Virgil grinned.
"Not what you're thinking," Kirk said and gave Virgil's balls a squeeze until he squirmed. "We're gonna feed this hay to the cows."
Before Virgil could grab him back, he'd dodged away and was walking to the cab of Don's truck, which the wagon was hitched to.
See, kid, you shouldn't trust me, he thought. He had the engine running and in gear as Virgil hopped in from the other side.
"There'll be time for makin' hay later," Kirk said, and they drove out of the barn.
A couple hours later, they were in Don's truck and pulling a horse trailer, driving out to the big pasture on the north end of the ranch, looking for Don's missing cows. They were heifers, too young to be bred yet. There wouldn't be calves with them to worry about or to interest the coyotes so Don, who'd been too busy, had just let them be.
They'd be frisky, Kirk was thinking, and not ready to give up their freedom and come back to the ranch nicely. At the worst, they'd have found a weak spot in the far fence and wandered off onto the next ranch, where who knows what they might have got themselves into, maybe mixing up with another herd and need getting cut from it.
Kirk was driving and explaining the possibilities to Virgil, who was taking it all in like the shake of Don's hand when he got hired had turned him into an actual cowboy.
Fact was, Virgil didn't know a goddam thing about it and without saying so Don had given Kirk the job of teaching him. Normally, Kirk liked knowing more than somebody else, and being the least experienced on the ranch, he didn't have much opportunity to do that. But having to work with someone dead ignorant was a pain in the ass, too.
Meanwhile, it was giving him a charge he could feel in his balls that as soon as they got out of sight of the ranch, he could get Virgil out of his jeans and have a go at him.
The only problem with thatand this was a problemVirgil would still be around tonight, sitting at the table in the ranch house kitchen for supper and who knows how many days and nights longer. He wouldn't just disappear and become a forgotten memory when Kirk was done with him.
"What's that?" Virgil said, pointing to a white block on the ground as they passed.
"Salt," Kirk said. "For the cows to lick."
They were following a faint track worn in the grass, which lay mostly flat and frozen, where the winter winds had swept away the snow and left large stretches of it bare. The truck rattled and rumbled over old ruts in places, and they had to drive slow. The horse, a mild-tempered mare of Don's named Betsy, followed in the trailer, saddled up and ready to chase cows.
The track would disappear at times, then reappear as it led them through barb wire gates that Virgil jumped out to open. Kirk smiled as he pushed hard to flip the wire loop of each gate up and over the post. Slim kept up the fences on the ranch, and he made the gates so squeaky tight it was a test of your manhood to get hem open and closed again.
"You gotta use every muscle," he'd laughed watching Kirk strain with all the strength he had to budge them that first season working on Don's ranch.
Now it was his turn to get a laugh watching Virgil, but once Virgil figured it out, he was making it seem almost easy. The kid was stronger than he looked.
"Just leave `em open," Kirk said as he drove through. "We'll bring the cows back this way."
Once in the last pasture, the biggest one, they'd drive up and over the ridge and, when they found the cowsno telling how long that would takethey'd herd them back to the ranch, Kirk riding the horse to round them up and keep them together, Virgil following behind in the truck, pushing along any stragglers and closing the gates after them.
Topping the ridge, Kirk stopped the truck and looked out his window, surveying the rise and fall of the miles of grass and patches of snow that lay on the other side. A windmill turned in a low, flat spot not far below them, and gathered around the stock tank were five of Don's heifers.
"Bingo," Kirk said. "There they be."
"Reckon that's all of `em?" Virgil said, sounding like some cowboy in a western.
Kirk didn't turn to him but he could sense him just behind his shoulder, looking past him, his breath against the back of his ear.
"I reckon," he drawled, wondering if Virgil realized he was being kidded.
He put the truck in gear and eased it down the slope, heading in a wide circle around the cattle, who turned their heads to watch, suspicious. Now that he'd found them, he didn't want them getting spooked and high tailing off in the wrong direction.
He slipped behind the brow of a hill, staying out of sight, and when they'd gone a ways, Kirk stopped the truck and they both got out, walking up to where they could look down toward the windmill. The cows, they saw, were still there.
The sun shone warmly, but the hilltop caught a steady breeze from the north. He felt it through his back pockets and pulled up the collar on his jacket. He glanced at Virgil, who stood there with his grinlike the kid he was, playing hooky from school. The cap Don had given him was pulled down to his eyes and had the words "Purina Horse Feed" sewn across the front.
"You look like an idiot in that cap," Kirk said.
"Well, I'm sure as heck not thowing this one away," Virgil said and ducked when Kirk reached for it, taking a step back and losing his footing.
They tumbled down the slope toward the truck, the horse stepping around inside the trailer as she saw them falling together and rolling to a stop in the grass.
Kirk had been willing to wait until later, but something about being out under the open sky made him horny as hell. He wanted the feel of Virgil's body twisting and turning in his arms, and he wrestled him to the ground.
His chest and his nuts ached, and he kicked with his legs, boots scraping along the hard ground, his dick getting stiff in his jeans. And he was pressing down now, hips pushing into Virgil's butt, one arm pulled behind his back.
Virgil was laughing and had gone limp now. His voice was a high whisper, and Kirk couldn't make out what he was saying.
When he caught his breath, he got Virgil to stand up, one arm still pinned behind him and shoved him toward the door of the truck, which was still flung open.
Pushing him face down onto the seat, he crowded up behind him and then reached around with his free hand to undo Virgil's belt. Open, the buckle snagged, but his jeans were now loose enoughthey were Danny's and a size or more too big and Kirk could jerk them down without unbuttoning them.
"Hey! Hey!" Virgil started saying, but between gasps for breath he was still laughing.
The jeans fell to his knees and Kirk pulled next on his underwear, stretching it down enough to stroke the smooth skin with his hand and press his fingers between his butt cheeks, searching for the knot of muscle in the curly hair there that would be the entry into him.
Virgil bucked now under Kirk's weight, knees bumping against the frame of the seat, struggling, but still laughing.
"You fucker," Virgil was saying. "You're breakin' my arm!"
"Relax, just relax," Kirk said, unzipping his fly.
He pulled out his dick, now hard as he held it in his hand, pushing it wet and slippery against the spot he'd found with his fingertips.
But pushing, he could feel nothing give, only his hard-on bending and springing away as he thrust with his hips.
"Relax," he kept saying.
"I'm trying," Virgil said. "I'm trying."
But Kirk couldn't get the end of his big dick to slide in. He needed something to grease them both up.
"There's gotta be some udder balm there somewhereon the seat, on the floor," Kirk said and released Virgil's arm. "Look around."
"Some what?"
"Udder balm, for crissake. It's in a square tin with a lid." He kept massaging Virgil now, with spit, but he was tight as ever.
"I can't find anything in all this shit," Virgil was saying, reaching under the seat and pulling out old rags, beer cans, a socket wrench handle.
Then he collapsed on the seat, sighing. "Is it in yet? Holy shit, it feels like you're in."
"That's my thumb," Kirk said. Judging from the feel of it, he'd got as far as the first knuckle.
"Whatever it is," Virgil said. "Don't stop."
Kirk's dick hung in his open fly, still hard but starting to lose interest. Virgil had clearly never done this before, and first timers were hard work.
After what seemed like ten minutes and almost no progress, Virgil twisted around under him, excited.
"I wanna do you know," he said.
"I'm not done yet."
"I don't care," Virgil said, apparently satisfied with a thumb fuck.
"Forget it."
"No, I wanna try it," Virgil said, pushing himself up. His dick popped free from where it had been hooked under the edge of the seat. It was slick with precum and dribbling in streaks through the hair on his thigh and onto the vinyl.
"I got a rule about that," Kirk said flatly.
"What kind of rule?" Virgil's dick pushed up now against his coat, wet and throbbing.
"I just draw the line there. That's all."
"What kind of bullshit rule is that?" Virgil said, laughing, and grabbed for Kirk's belt buckle.
Kirk pushed his hands away. "I mean it," he said.
"Tell you what," Virgil said, sitting up on the seat now and reaching down to pull up his jeans. "I got a rule or two of my own."
And with that he sprang out of the truck, throwing his shoulder into Kirk's chest, like a football lineman, sending him flying backwards onto his ass and knocking the wind out of him. His hat went rolling away down the slope and the horse, startled, shifted her footing again in the trailer.
Virgil fell hard onto Kirk and lay spread eagled on top of him, his face shoved into Kirk's. Drops of spit flew on his breath as he said, still grinning, "You can be a sonofabitch, pal, but you're not gonna make a fool outta me twice."
Virgil had his arm now across Kirk's throat, and for a moment Kirk saw stars. It was hard for him to get his breath, and he could feel a knee digging into his groin.
Kirk had been in his share of bar fights, and though he'd lost a couple, he'd never been caught off guard like this before. He was still recovering from the surprise. The one good thing, he realized, was that Virgil wasn't drunk and trying to kill him. At least not on purpose.
While the shock in his lungs settled into a slow burn, he felt a sharp pain in his crotch, where Virgil's knee pressed his dick into the teeth of his zipper. Sucking up his gut and trying to twist free only made it worse.
�"OK?" Virgil was shouting at him. "OK?"
Above, the afternoon sun shone bright into his eyes. The ground under him was hard and cold. He lay like someone bested in a schoolyard scuffle.
"OK?" Virgil said again.
"OK," Kirk croaked, closing his eyes, and feeling Virgil's weight lift off him.
He rolled over onto his stomach to get up on his feet, but as he did he felt Virgil grab him by the belt and the collar of his jacket, swinging him around and pushing him head first onto the truck seat, his face shoved into old work gloves, tools, paper coffee cups, a grease-stained shirt, boxes of antibiotics, fence staples, and the other junk Don collected and carried around with him.
"Now, show me how to do this," Virgil was saying, "I want to learn this right."
Kirk tried to get up, but Virgil, right behind him, pushed him back down again and kicked his feet apart like a cop making an arrest.
"Or are we gonna have to fight about this some more," Virgil said.
Kirk knew that he could beat the crap out of him if it came to a fight. There seemed to be no other way to deal with him. Butthere's always a buthe knew without giving it any thought that if he did, one or both of them would end up black and blue, and Don would chew him out over it. He didn't keep men who liked to settle things with their fists.
There was nothing to settle with Virgil anyway. Kirk didn't hate him. He didn't even dislike him.
And part of himif he had to be honestwas just plain tired of his rules.
"Huh?" Virgil said, trying again not to laugh. "I don't hear you saying anything."
Kirk's hand dropped to the floor, and against the back of his fingers he felt the cool, smooth surface of something familiar. He opened his hand around it and, lifting it up to where he could see, discovered that he'd found the udder balm.
"Here," he said handing it back to Virgil. "Try this."
He unbuckled his jeans and let Virgil pull them down, the air cool against his bare skin and creeping between his legs to the back of his balls. He felt Virgil's cold hands on his butt now, touching him with long, loving strokes.
"Kirk, ol' buddy," he said. "I'm gonna do something I been wanting to do for a long time."
"Better grease us up first. It'll be a whole lot easier."
"I'm getting to that," Virgil said. "This is what I mean."
And Kirk felt Virgil's face and his unshaven chin press hard against one butt cheek, giving him a loud kiss. Then he did it to the other cheek. And sighed happily.
"You are one fuckin' oddball, you know that?" Kirk said.
"What? Couldn't hear ya," Virgil said, and Kirk heard the lid being popped off the tin.
The touch of Virgil's fingers in his ass and the cold balm put a shiver through him, and then after a pause there was the soft pressure of Virgil's dick as it passed into the gap between his butt cheeks.
"Can you see what you're doing?" he said and reached behind him to pull them apart.
"Now I can, thanks," Virgil said, so polite it made Kirk want to laugh now himself.
And Kirk felt Virgil's cock nudging into him, hands gripping his hips, and the giving way as he let himself go, the firm, slow push filling him.
"Aw," Virgil sighed. "I think I died and went to heaven." And he just held himself for a long moment without moving.
Not heaven, Kirk thought, but not all that bad either. Yes, this didn't feel much like the Kirk he thought he was or had learned to be, the one always on top and to hell with the other guy. And the hands reaching under his shirt to tenderly stroke his back and his backsidethis loving touch wasn't him either.
Then there were the thighs pressed between his own thighs, and his legs trapped inside his jeans that were down to his knees, keeping him pinned and unable to move even his feet. There was a time when this gave him a helpless feeling that scared him and haunted him for years after it first happened, running away from home and hitching a ride with the wrong truck driver, who seemed friendly at first, but when the time came was not polite or tender or loving.
That all seemed long enough ago now. And Virgilgoofy, trusting, still new to it allhe wouldn't hurt a fly. Hell, Kirk thought, he could keep his rules if he wanted. This time hardly even counted.
He pushed back with his hips, getting Virgil, who hadn't moved yet, to settle in a little deeper.
Virgil sucked in his breath, and his fingers suddenly dug in where he'd been softly stroking Kirk's butt.
"Aw, I can't hold it," he said. "Here it comes."
And Kirk felt his quivering, quick thrusts as Virgil came into him, his legs trembling against Kirk's, his voice raised in a high pitched moan that sounded something like singing.
On his elbows now and looking over his shoulder, he could see Kirk, his head tilted back, eyes closed, breathing hard, hands up and hanging onto the doorframe. He looked like he was about to faint.
After a minute of this, Kirk cleared his throat and said, "You done?"
Virgil's eyes blinked open and he saw Kirk looking back at him. A grin came across his face. "Yeah, I'm done."
Later, as they stood in the grass taking turns wiping up the balm and the cum with a bandana they'd found behind the truck seat, Virgil said, "How'd I do?" He was buttoning his fly now and buckling his belt.
"Fine. You did fine."
Virgil reached under the trailer and retrieved Kirk's hat. "No, I mean, you got any tips? Any advice for a beginner?" He held the hat waiting for Kirk to pull up his jeans.
"Naw," Kirk said. "You got the hang of it, all right." Though he was still horny as hell, he chose to postpone any comments about thumb fucking.
Virgil grinned as Kirk took his hat and put it on. "Well, when I learn something new, I like to get good at it."
Kirk took a last look at him before going to the trailer for the horse, to get on with rounding up the cows. He hoped they hadn't wandered off by now, and he wondered how his ass was going to feel in a saddle.
"I wouldn't worry about getting good," he said. "Practice makes perfect."

The following form allows you to view linux man pages.
git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]
Shows the commit logs.
The command takes options applicable to the git rev-list command to
control what is shown and how, and options applicable to the git diff-*
commands to control how the changes each commit introduces are shown.
-p, -u
Generate patch (see section on generating patches).
-U<n>, --unified=<n>
Generate diffs with <n> lines of context instead of the usual
three. Implies -p.
Generate the raw format.
Synonym for -p --raw.
Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
Generate a diffstat. You can override the default output width for
80-column terminal by --stat=width. The width of the filename part
can be controlled by giving another width to it separated by a
Similar to --stat, but shows number of added and deleted lines in
decimal notation and pathname without abbreviation, to make it more
machine friendly. For binary files, outputs two - instead of saying
0 0.
Output only the last line of the --stat format containing total
number of modified files, as well as number of added and deleted
Output the distribution of relative amount of changes (number of
lines added or removed) for each sub-directory. Directories with
changes below a cut-off percent (3% by default) are not shown. The
cut-off percent can be set with --dirstat=limit. Changes in a child
directory is not counted for the parent directory, unless
--cumulative is used.
pathnames and use NULs as output field terminators.
Without this option, each pathname output will have TAB, LF, double
quotes, and backslash characters replaced with \t, \n, \", and \\,
respectively, and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if
any of those replacements occurred.
Show only names of changed files.
Show only names and status of changed files. See the description of
the --diff-filter option on what the status letters mean.
Chose the output format for submodule differences. <format> can be
one of short and log. short just shows pairs of commit names, this
format is used when this option is not given. log is the default
value for this option and lists the commits in that commit range
like the summary option of git-submodule(1) does.
Show colored diff. The value must be always (the default), never,
or auto.
Turn off colored diff, even when the configuration file gives the
default to color output. Same as --color=never.
Show colored word diff, i.e., color words which have changed. By
default, words are separated by whitespace.
When a <regex> is specified, every non-overlapping match of the
<regex> is considered a word. Anything between these matches is
considered whitespace and ignored(!) for the purposes of finding
differences. You may want to append |[^[:space:]] to your regular
expression to make sure that it matches all non-whitespace
characters. A match that contains a newline is silently
truncated(!) at the newline.
The regex can also be set via a diff driver or configuration
option, see gitattributes(1) or git-config(1). Giving it explicitly
overrides any diff driver or configuration setting. Diff drivers
override configuration settings.
Turn off rename detection, even when the configuration file gives
the default to do so.
Warn if changes introduce trailing whitespace or an indent that
diff-raw format output and diff-tree header lines, show only a
partial prefix. This is independent of the --full-index option
above, which controls the diff-patch output format. Non default
number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
Detect renames.
Detect copies as well as renames. See also --find-copies-harder.
Select only files that are Added (A), Copied (C), Deleted (D),
Modified (M), Renamed (R), have their type (i.e. regular file,
symlink, submodule, ...) changed (T), are Unmerged (U), are Unknown
(X), or have had their pairing Broken (B). Any combination of the
filter characters may be used. When * (All-or-none) is added to the
combination, all paths are selected if there is any file that
matches other criteria in the comparison; if there is no file that
matches other criteria, nothing is selected.
For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only if
the original file of the copy was modified in the same changeset.
This flag makes the command inspect unmodified files as candidates
for the source of copy. This is a very expensive operation for
large projects, so use it with caution. Giving more than one -C
option has the same effect.
The -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n is the
number of potential rename/copy targets. This option prevents
rename/copy detection from running if the number of rename/copy
targets exceeds the specified number.
Look for differences that introduce or remove an instance of
<string>. Note that this is different than the string simply
appearing in diff output; see the pickaxe entry in gitdiffcore(7)
for more details.
When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that changeset, not
just the files that contain the change in <string>.
Make the <string> not a plain string but an extended POSIX regex to
-a, --text
Treat all files as text.
Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
-b, --ignore-space-change
Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace at
line end, and considers all other sequences of one or more
whitespace characters to be equivalent.
-w, --ignore-all-space
Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences
even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none.
Show the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number of
lines, thereby fusing hunks that are close to each other.
Make the program exit with codes similar to diff(1). That is, it
exits with 1 if there were differences and 0 means no differences.
Disable all output of the program. Implies --exit-code.
Allow an external diff helper to be executed. If you set an
external diff driver with gitattributes(5), you need to use this
option with git-log(1) and friends.
Disallow external diff drivers.
Ignore changes to submodules in the diff generation.
Show the given source prefix instead of "a/".
Show the given destination prefix instead of "b/".
Do not show any source or destination prefix.
For more detailed explanation on these common options, see also
Limits the number of commits to show.
Print out the ref name given on the command line by which each
commit was reached.
Without this flag, "git log -p <path>..." shows commits that touch
the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified paths. With
this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch the specified
paths; this means that "<path>..." limits only commits, and doesn't
limit diff for those commits.
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames.
Before the log message print out its size in bytes. Intended mainly
for porcelain tools consumption. If git is unable to produce a
valid value size is set to zero. Note that only message is
considered, if also a diff is shown its size is not included.
[--] <path>...
Show only commits that affect any of the specified paths. To
prevent confusion with options and branch names, paths may need to
be prefixed with "-- " to separate them from options or refnames.
Commit Formatting
--pretty[=<format>], --format[=<format>]
Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where <format> can be one of oneline, short, medium, full, fuller,
email, raw and format:<string>. When omitted, the format defaults
to medium.
Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
configuration (see git-config(1)).
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name,
show only a partial prefix. Non default number of digits can be
specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies diff output, if
it is displayed).
This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
people using 80-column terminals.
This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit" used
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message in
their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the command
core.notesRef and notes.displayRef variables (or corresponding
environment overrides). Enabled by default. See git-config(1).
Synonym for --date=relative.
Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such as
when using "--pretty". log.date config variable sets a default
value for log command's --date option.
--date=relative shows dates relative to the current time, e.g. "2
hours ago".
--date=local shows timestamps in user's local timezone.
--date=iso (or --date=iso8601) shows timestamps in ISO 8601 format.
--date=rfc (or --date=rfc2822) shows timestamps in RFC 2822 format,
often found in E-mail messages.
--date=short shows only date but not time, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
--date=raw shows the date in the internal raw git format %s %z
--date=default shows timestamps in the original timezone (either
committer's or author's).
Print the parents of the commit. Also enables parent rewriting, see
History Simplification below.
Print the children of the commit. Also enables parent rewriting,
see History Simplification below.
Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
Commits from the left side are prefixed with < and those from the
right with >. If combined with --boundary, those commits are
prefixed with -.
For example, if you have this topology:
y---b---b branch B
/ \ /
/ .
/ / \
o---x---a---a branch A
you would get an output like this:
printed in between commits, in order for the graph history to be
drawn properly.
This implies the --topo-order option by default, but the
--date-order option may also be specified.
Diff Formatting
Below are listed options that control the formatting of diff output.
Some of them are specific to git-rev-list(1), however other diff
options may be given. See git-diff-files(1) for more options.
With this option, diff output for a merge commit shows the
differences from each of the parents to the merge result
simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent
and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files
which were modified from all parents.
This flag implies the -c options and further compresses the patch
output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in the
parents have only two variants and the merge result picks one of
them without modification.
This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like regular
commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry and diff is
generated. An exception is that only diff against the first parent
is shown when --first-parent option is given; in that case, the
output represents the changes the merge brought into the
then-current branch.
Show recursive diffs.
Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies -r.
Commit Limiting
Besides specifying a range of commits that should be listed using the
special notations explained in the description, additional commit
limiting may be applied.
-n number, --max-count=<number>
Limit the number of commits output.
Skip number commits before starting to show the commit output.
--since=<date>, --after=<date>
Show commits more recent than a specific date.
-i, --regexp-ignore-case
Match the regexp limiting patterns without regard to letters case.
-E, --extended-regexp
Consider the limiting patterns to be extended regular expressions
instead of the default basic regular expressions.
-F, --fixed-strings
Consider the limiting patterns to be fixed strings (don't interpret
pattern as a regular expression).
Stop when a given path disappears from the tree.
Print only merge commits.
Do not print commits with more than one parent.
Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge commit.
This option can give a better overview when viewing the evolution
of a particular topic branch, because merges into a topic branch
tend to be only about adjusting to updated upstream from time to
time, and this option allows you to ignore the individual commits
brought in to your history by such a merge.
Reverses the meaning of the ^ prefix (or lack thereof) for all
following revision specifiers, up to the next --not.
Pretend as if all the refs in refs/ are listed on the command line
as <commit>.
Pretend as if all the refs in refs/heads are listed on the command
line as <commit>. If pattern is given, limit branches to ones
matching given shell glob. If pattern lacks ?, , or [, / at the end
is implied.
Pretend as if all the refs in refs/tags are listed on the command
line as <commit>. If pattern is given, limit tags to ones matching
given shell glob. If pattern lacks ?, , or [, / at the end is
Pretend as if all the refs in refs/remotes are listed on the
command line as <commit>. If 'pattern'is given, limit remote
In addition to the <commit> listed on the command line, read them
from the standard input. If a -- separator is seen, stop reading
commits and start reading paths to limit the result.
Omit any commit that introduces the same change as another commit
on the "other side" when the set of commits are limited with
symmetric difference.
For example, if you have two branches, A and B, a usual way to list
all commits on only one side of them is with --left-right, like the
example above in the description of that option. It however shows
the commits that were cherry-picked from the other branch (for
example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked from branch A). With this
option, such pairs of commits are excluded from the output.
-g, --walk-reflogs
Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk reflog entries
from the most recent one to older ones. When this option is used
you cannot specify commits to exclude (that is, ^commit,
commit1..commit2, nor commit1...commit2 notations cannot be used).
With --pretty format other than oneline (for obvious reasons), this
causes the output to have two extra lines of information taken from
the reflog. By default, commit@{Nth} notation is used in the
output. When the starting commit is specified as commit@{now},
output also uses commit@{timestamp} notation instead. Under
--pretty=oneline, the commit message is prefixed with this
information on the same line. This option cannot be combined with
--reverse. See also git-reflog(1).
After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a conflict
and don't exist on all heads to merge.
Output uninteresting commits at the boundary, which are usually not
History Simplification
Sometimes you are only interested in parts of the history, for example
the commits modifying a particular <path>. But there are two parts of
History Simplification, one part is selecting the commits and the other
is how to do it, as there are various strategies to simplify the
The following options select the commits to be shown:
Commits modifying the given <paths> are selected.
As the default mode but does not prune some history.
Only the selected commits are shown, plus some to have a meaningful
All commits in the simplified history are shown.
Additional option to --full-history to remove some needless merges
from the resulting history, as there are no selected commits
contributing to this merge.
A more detailed explanation follows.
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call commits that
modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In a diff filtered for
foo, they look different and equal, respectively.)
In the following, we will always refer to the same example history to
illustrate the differences between simplification settings. We assume
that you are filtering for a file foo in this commit graph:
/ / / / /
\ / / / /
The horizontal line of history A--P is taken to be the first parent of
each merge. The commits are:
? I is the initial commit, in which foo exists with contents "asdf",
and a file quux exists with contents "quux". Initial commits are
compared to an empty tree, so I is !TREESAME.
? In A, foo contains just "foo".
? B contains the same change as A. Its merge M is trivial and hence
TREESAME to all parents.
? C does not change foo, but its merge N changes it to "foobar", so
it is not TREESAME to any parent.
? D sets foo to "baz". Its merge O combines the strings from N and D
to "foobarbaz"; i.e., it is not TREESAME to any parent.
? E changes quux to "xyzzy", and its merge P combines the strings to
"quux xyzzy". Despite appearing interesting, P is TREESAME to all
/ /
Note how the rule to only follow the TREESAME parent, if one is
available, removed B from consideration entirely. C was considered
via N, but is TREESAME. Root commits are compared to an empty tree,
so I is !TREESAME.
Parent/child relations are only visible with --parents, but that
does not affect the commits selected in default mode, so we have
shown the parent lines.
--full-history without parent rewriting
This mode differs from the default in one point: always follow all
parents of a merge, even if it is TREESAME to one of them. Even if
more than one side of the merge has commits that are included, this
does not imply that the merge itself is! In the example, we get
P and M were excluded because they are TREESAME to a parent. E, C
and B were all walked, but only B was !TREESAME, so the others do
not appear.
Note that without parent rewriting, it is not really possible to
talk about the parent/child relationships between the commits, so
we show them disconnected.
--full-history with parent rewriting
Ordinary commits are only included if they are !TREESAME (though
this can be changed, see --sparse below).
Merges are always included. However, their parent list is
rewritten: Along each parent, prune away commits that are not
included themselves. This results in
/ / / / /
\ / / / /
Compare to --full-history without rewriting above. Note that E was
pruned away because it is TREESAME, but the parent list of P was
rewritten to contain E?s parent I. The same happened for C and N.
Note also that P was included despite being TREESAME.
In addition to the above settings, you can change whether TREESAME
affects inclusion:
First, build a history graph in the same way that --full-history
with parent rewriting does (see above).
Then simplify each commit 'C' to its replacement C' in the final
history according to the following rules:
? Set 'C'' to C.
? Replace each parent 'P' of C' with its simplification 'P''. In
the process, drop parents that are ancestors of other parents,
and remove duplicates.
? If after this parent rewriting, 'C'' is a root or merge commit
(has zero or >1 parents), a boundary commit, or !TREESAME, it
remains. Otherwise, it is replaced with its only parent.
The effect of this is best shown by way of comparing to
--full-history with parent rewriting. The example turns into:
/ / /
\ / /
Note the major differences in N and P over --full-history:
? N?s parent list had I removed, because it is an ancestor
of the other parent M. Still, N remained because it is
? P?s parent list similarly had I removed. P was then
removed completely, because it had one parent and is
The --simplify-by-decoration option allows you to view only the big
picture of the topology of the history, by omitting commits that
are not referenced by tags. Commits are marked as !TREESAME (in
other words, kept after history simplification rules described
above) if (1) they are referenced by tags, or (2) they change the
contents of the paths given on the command line. All other commits
are marked as TREESAME (subject to be simplified away).
Commit Ordering
By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order.
This option makes them appear in topological order (i.e. descendant
commits are shown before their parents).
This option is similar to --topo-order in the sense that no parent
comes before all of its children, but otherwise things are still
Similar to --objects, but also print the IDs of excluded commits
prefixed with a "-" character. This is used by git-pack-objects(1)
to build "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
on objects contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
Only useful with --objects; print the object IDs that are not in
Only show the given revs, but do not traverse their ancestors.
Overrides a previous --no-walk.
If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format is not oneline,
email or raw, an additional line is inserted before the Author: line.
This line begins with "Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are
printed, separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not
necessarily be the list of the direct parent commits if you have
limited your view of history: for example, if you are only interested
in changes related to a certain directory or file.
Here are some additional details for each format:
? oneline
<sha1> <title line>
This is designed to be as compact as possible.
? short
commit <sha1>
Author: <author>
<title line>
? medium
commit <sha1>
Author: <author>
Date: <author date>
<title line>
<full commit message>
AuthorDate: <author date>
Commit: <committer>
CommitDate: <committer date>
<title line>
<full commit message>
? email
From <sha1> <date>
From: <author>
Date: <author date>
Subject: [PATCH] <title line>
<full commit message>
? raw
The raw format shows the entire commit exactly as stored in the
commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are displayed in full, regardless
of whether --abbrev or --no-abbrev are used, and parents
information show the true parent commits, without taking grafts nor
history simplification into account.
? format:
The format: format allows you to specify which information you want
to show. It works a little bit like printf format, with the notable
exception that you get a newline with %n instead of \n.
E.g, format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"
would show something like this:
The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago
The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<<
The placeholders are:
? %H: commit hash
? %h: abbreviated commit hash
? %T: tree hash
? %t: abbreviated tree hash
? %P: parent hashes
? %p: abbreviated parent hashes
? %an: author name
? %at: author date, UNIX timestamp
? %ai: author date, ISO 8601 format
? %cn: committer name
? %cN: committer name (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1)
or git-blame(1))
? %ce: committer email
? %cE: committer email (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1)
or git-blame(1))
? %cd: committer date
? %cD: committer date, RFC2822 style
? %cr: committer date, relative
? %ct: committer date, UNIX timestamp
? %ci: committer date, ISO 8601 format
? %d: ref names, like the --decorate option of git-log(1)
? %e: encoding
? %s: subject
? %f: sanitized subject line, suitable for a filename
? %b: body
? %N: commit notes
? %gD: reflog selector, e.g., refs/stash@{1}
? %gd: shortened reflog selector, e.g., stash@{1}
? %gs: reflog subject
? %Cred: switch color to red
? %Cgreen: switch color to green
? %Cblue: switch color to blue
? %Creset: reset color
? %C(...): color specification, as described in color.branch.*
Some placeholders may depend on other options given to the revision
traversal engine. For example, the %g* reflog options will insert
an empty string unless we are traversing reflog entries (e.g., by
git log -g). The %d placeholder will use the "short" decoration
format if --decorate was not already provided on the command line.
If you add a + (plus sign) after % of a placeholder, a line-feed is
inserted immediately before the expansion if and only if the
placeholder expands to a non-empty string.
If you add a - (minus sign) after % of a placeholder, line-feeds that
immediately precede the expansion are deleted if and only if the
placeholder expands to an empty string.
? tformat:
The tformat: format works exactly like format:, except that it
provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics.
In other words, each commit has the message terminator character
(usually a newline) appended, rather than a separator placed
between entries. This means that the final entry of a single-line
format will be properly terminated with a new line, just as the
"oneline" format does. For example:
$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \
| perl -pe ?$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/?
$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \
| perl -pe ?$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/?
In addition, any unrecognized string that has a % in it is
interpreted as if it has tformat: in front of it. For example,
these two are equivalent:
$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef
$ git log -2 --pretty=%h 4da45bef
When "git-diff-index", "git-diff-tree", or "git-diff-files" are run
with a -p option, "git diff" without the --raw option, or "git log"
with the "-p" option, they do not produce the output described above;
instead they produce a patch file. You can customize the creation of
such patches via the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variables.
What the -p option produces is slightly different from the traditional
diff format.
old mode <mode>
new mode <mode>
deleted file mode <mode>
new file mode <mode>
copy from <path>
copy to <path>
rename from <path>
rename to <path>
similarity index <number>
dissimilarity index <number>
index <hash>..<hash> <mode>
3. TAB, LF, double quote and backslash characters in pathnames are
represented as \t, \n, \" and \\, respectively. If there is need
for such substitution then the whole pathname is put in double
The similarity index is the percentage of unchanged lines, and the
dissimilarity index is the percentage of changed lines. It is a rounded
down integer, followed by a percent sign. The similarity index value of
100% is thus reserved for two equal files, while 100% dissimilarity
means that no line from the old file made it into the new one.
"git-diff-tree", "git-diff-files" and "git-diff" can take -c or --cc
option to produce combined diff. For showing a merge commit with "git
log -p", this is the default format; you can force showing full diff
with the -m option. A combined diff format looks like this:
diff --combined describe.c
index fabadb8,cc95eb0..4866510
--- a/describe.c
+++ b/describe.c
@@@ -98,20 -98,12 +98,20 @@@
return (a_date > b_date) ? -1 : (a_date == b_date) ? 0 : 1;
- static void describe(char *arg)
-static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one)
++static void describe(char *arg, int last_one)
+ unsigned char sha1[20];
+ struct commit *cmit;
struct commit_list *list;
static int initialized = 0;
struct commit_name *n;
+ if (get_sha1(arg, sha1) < 0)
+ usage(describe_usage);
+ cmit = lookup_commit_reference(sha1);
+ if (!cmit)
diff --cc file
2. It is followed by one or more extended header lines (this example
shows a merge with two parents):
index <hash>,<hash>..<hash>
mode <mode>,<mode>..<mode>
new file mode <mode>
deleted file mode <mode>,<mode>
The mode <mode>,<mode>..<mode> line appears only if at least one of
the <mode> is different from the rest. Extended headers with
information about detected contents movement (renames and copying
detection) are designed to work with diff of two <tree-ish> and are
not used by combined diff format.
3. It is followed by two-line from-file/to-file header
--- a/file
+++ b/file
Similar to two-line header for traditional unified diff format,
/dev/null is used to signal created or deleted files.
4. Chunk header format is modified to prevent people from accidentally
feeding it to patch -p1. Combined diff format was created for
review of merge commit changes, and was not meant for apply. The
change is similar to the change in the extended index header:
@@@ <from-file-range> <from-file-range> <to-file-range> @@@
There are (number of parents + 1) @ characters in the chunk header
for combined diff format.
Unlike the traditional unified diff format, which shows two files A and
B with a single column that has - (minus -- appears in A but removed in
B), + (plus -- missing in A but added to B), or " " (space -- unchanged)
prefix, this format compares two or more files file1, file2,... with
one file X, and shows how X differs from each of fileN. One column for
each of fileN is prepended to the output line to note how X's line is
different from it.
A - character in the column N means that the line appears in fileN but
it does not appear in the result. A + character in the column N means
that the line appears in the result, and fileN does not have that line
(in other words, the line was added, from the point of view of that
In the above example output, the function signature was changed from
both files (hence two - removals from both file1 and file2, plus ++ to
mean one line that was added does not appear in either file1 nor
Show all commits since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the
include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
git log --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file gitk. The
"--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the branch named gitk
git log --name-status release..test
Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet in the
"release" branch, along with the list of paths each commit
git log --follow builtin-rev-list.c
Shows the commits that changed builtin-rev-list.c, including those
commits that occurred before the file was given its present name.
git log --branches --not --remotes=origin
Shows all commits that are in any of local branches but not in any
of remote tracking branches for origin (what you have that origin
git log master --not --remotes=*/master
Shows all commits that are in local master but not in any remote
repository master branches.
git log -p -m --first-parent
Shows the history including change diffs, but only from the "main
branch" perspective, skipping commits that come from merged
branches, and showing full diffs of changes introduced by the
merges. This makes sense only when following a strict policy of
merging all topic branches when staying on a single integration
At the core level, git is character encoding agnostic.
? The pathnames recorded in the index and in the tree objects are
treated as uninterpreted sequences of non-NUL bytes. What
readdir(2) returns are what are recorded and compared with the data
git keeps track of, which in turn are expected to be what lstat(2)
and creat(2) accepts. There is no such thing as pathname encoding
? The contents of the blob objects are uninterpreted sequences of
bytes. There is no encoding translation at the core level.
? The commit log messages are uninterpreted sequences of non-NUL
Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded in
UTF-8, both the core and git Porcelain are designed not to force UTF-8
on projects. If all participants of a particular project find it more
people who look at them later. Lack of this header implies that the
commit log message is encoded in UTF-8.
2. git log, git show, git blame and friends look at the encoding
header of a commit object, and try to re-code the log message into
UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. You can specify the desired
output encoding with i18n.logoutputencoding in .git/config file,
like this:
logoutputencoding = ISO-8859-1
If you do not have this configuration variable, the value of
i18n.commitencoding is used instead.
Note that we deliberately chose not to re-code the commit log message
when a commit is made to force UTF-8 at the commit object level,
because re-coding to UTF-8 is not necessarily a reversible operation.

Making Zines // Reviewing Zines // Workshops & Activities
Sheffield-based illustrator Missy Tassles sent us the colourful volume on the right, a collection of pieces from her comic That Is Your Trip. . . This Is Mine. It's a very likeable, optimistic read about Missy's everyday life and the things that entertain her. This edition includes the distinguishing characteristics of Missy's grandparents, her jaunt to Margate and some musings on the mysterious Dr Shaw, a shadowy figure at Sheffield's Showroom Cinema. There's also a strong focus on music, with pages featuring Missy's desert island discs, a profile of Joe Meek, and the challenge of picking out favourite songs to sing to a newborn baby. The stories flick effortlessly between recollections of being violently sick at a teenage Pulp gig, and more recent, adult rebellions — you know, bringing packed lunches to a McDonalds food court.

Ubisoft has announced Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, a high-definition port of last year's PlayStation Vita title due for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC early next year.
According to Ubisoft, the downloadable title features a "complete graphical overhaul" that takes advantage of the available hardware, alongside remastered music, "revamped gameplay" and brand new missions.
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation launched on PlayStation Vita last October and followed the story of female assassin Aveline through the city of New Orleans. However, it wasn't received quite as well as the core title, reaching a Metacritic of 70.
You can check out the first screenshots of the HD port through here, or take a look at the first trailer below.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — Don't believe everything the government tells you.
Recently, the complaint du jour among policy makers such as those at the Federal Reserve is that inflation is too low. To hear some of them, we are very close to following in Japan's footsteps of the past 20 years, or the path of the U.S. itself during the 1930s.

|Consumer sentiment
I am referring to deflation, a condition in which prices fall. Loved by consumers and creditors, falling prices are detested by business people, debtors and the money mavens at the Fed.
When prices fall, consumers have less incentive to buy and more incentive to wait for prices to drop further. This hurts firms, which stockpiled goods to sell but can't do it. They lay people off, who in turn spend even less than before.
Deflation is tougher to battle than inflation. This is because it takes more than money to keep prices from falling — it takes a change in psychology to boost demand. This is outside the purview of monetary policy, and maybe the even beyond the government itself.
Are we really close to deflation? To look at some of the statistics generated by the government's number-crunchers, it's a definite maybe. One thing you can be more certain of is that inflation is no longer a problem.
Except for an occasional blip, the official numbers do indeed paint a picture of little or no inflation. But ask the proverbial man on the street, and he will give you a different story. For out here, in the real world, things are nowhere near as copacetic as the government's data suggest.
I don't know about you, but everywhere I look I see prices going up. It could be year to year, month to month, or even as short a span as week to week.
It's in visible items like food, energy, housing and, of course, health care. It's also in less visible items, such as contracts to service air conditioners, heating systems and motor vehicles. Not to mention in income taxes, property taxes, water bills, etc.
If you don't believe me, take a look at your own records, as I did before writing this column. Mine show that it would be difficult to conclude that inflation is far from vanquished.
Okay, you say, suppose prices are going up — why aren't these increases captured by the government's surveys?
One reason might be that the market basket of goods and services does not adequately capture buying patterns. Some people substitute cheaper goods for more expensive ones, thus avoiding higher prices.
Another reason might be an inability to capture hidden price increases through changes in size and quality. A third might be just plain laziness on the part of the government's surveyors.
Whatever the case, these goods and services are what the real world relates to and is affected by. Makes you kind of wonder who pays the bills of our friends who live and work inside the Beltway.

From The Files Of June 17, 1993
The Fulton House, a McConnellsburg historic landmark, celebrates it 200th birthday this year and the Fulton County Historical Society has planned several events to encourage the public to join the festivities. The Fulton House is widely believed to have been constructed in 1793. It is known that the "log cabin" in back of the Fulton House was built in 1770 and probably occupied by settlers more than 20 years before the construction of the Fulton House. Originally it was known as "The Union Hotel" and due to its strategic location along the Lincoln Highway it became a regular stop for stagecoaches. Although George Washington "never slept here,' the Fulton House boasts of many famous guests including John and Abigail Adams, Zachary Taylor, William Henry Harrison, James Buchanan, Thad Stevens, Judge Jere Black, Henry Clay and Eleanor Roosevelt. A fire broke out at the Fulton House January 17, 1944. Two people, Elsie Greathead and Elmer Kien, lost their lives in the fire. Elsie was a retired schoolteacher, and Elmer was a Sacramento, Pa., trucker registered as a guest. The Fulton House was plagued by fires over the years with fires of lesser damage and no loss of life reported in 1867, 1876, 1880, 1909, 1911 and 1940.
