So where are the answers on these of a couple of days ago..?
lt_oddball wrote:It the legend it isnot explained how commanders outside polish borders can be attacked ..
How can there be one victor if every player keeps his commander ?????
And why so strong +3 autodeployment..too much.
And this plane bombarding any place in poland..nay-nay too much emphasis on the airfields.
better use an idea I had before; separate airdomination "fields"; a string of 6 territories at the side or top of the map..each one linearly attcking the next (for dominance position) and each one capable of bombarding a fixed set of ground territories (f.e. marked with "a", the next "b"). The more airdominance fields you have , the more airdominance you have..
Your gameconcept makes it this a grabbing game between nazi and soviet commanders (and 2 polish outside their own territory???).
Please bring it back to something more akind to what it was back then : nazi troops on the left (and some from the north)., polish troops at the border and center..and (only at later stage) soviet troops from the east.
ah..so it's the funny eagle in the center that is the crux for attacking otzher commanders (who the hell is that tchec commander in the south??). Not immediately clear in the legend.
Now I see what the gameconept is..hmmm, nay.
It is very hard to race from a commander to the Warschau center..then you'd supposed to have enough resources left to attack a commander's heart position (bulking with troops of course)..IF the first is lucky to succeed to eliminate one other commander, he has almost NO RESOURCES left,and a THIRD commander throws in his troops on warschau and knocks out the first... and so it goes like a chain reaction.
Not nice game play..
Why not this idea:
Three (or four) Nazi commanders starting from Germany.. and four Polish commanders INSIDE Poland.
Soviet commanders/armies are neutral.
Once a Nazi player reaches the east side of the map (a particular territory) that territory (in his colour) gets +2 auto troops (if player controls nazi_A and Soviet_b then +2...so not for the 'polish' players).
Like checkers..you reach the other side of the board and you get a bonus checker.
This simulates the effect that soviet forces would not start to invade before it was clear that the nazis would totally win poland.
The downside is that on this map the nazi and soviet troops have the same colour of player...
but effectively the poles fought againt the nazis and soviets..the soviets didnot fight the nazis.
The soviet troops acted like an accessory to the nazis..really..
So i think that is better for this particular 1939 map.
ONLY Having/or keeping Warzau should mean a relatively immense bonus...the poles keeping it means "motivation/spirit" (= bonustroops in warzau), for the nazi player having warzau means they "win", lifted spirit, time for reorganisation for final mopping up actions (= bonustroops at the starting position..but much less).
Finding the right balance in this bonus for each player is the trick.
Something like that.

Ahead of the ">antler-design trend by months and way more stylish with the whole global warming thing are antler bikes (stylish and saving the environment, like Sheryl Crow!). We first spotted one at Interbike, Bicycle Design posted on 8 point handlebars, Razor Apple has got the furry antler version, and the then there's the King of the Road, which was ahead of it's time.
Of course, there's a blog about the Secret Life of Antlered Girls, who also ride bikes.

"When it first started raining," she said, "the roots of the tree started moving, uplifting. At 8 p.m., I heard a thud and the tree fell on the house."
The tree, Arcos said, took down electrical lines that were strung through its branches. At press time, the tree was pulling on the poles surrounding it, and one of the poles was leaning, threatening Arcos's home.
"I would love for someone to get over here and get the tree off the wires because I'm afraid the pole will come down in the next storm and come into the house," she said.
At press time, tree removal crews had moved into areas south of Merrick Road, clearing a series of downed trees on George Court in south Merrick. LIPA officials said that trees must be cleared before lines crews can repair damaged wires to ensure the safety of workers.
The power authority insisted that power would return soon. "LIPA is on track to have 90 percent of all customers back online by Wednesday, Nov. 7, with tens of thousands of customers being restored daily," the utility said in a written release.
Re-energizing south of Merrick Road
At press time, however, it was not clear when Bellmore-Merrick residents south of Merrick Road would have power restored.
According to LIPA spokesman Mark Gross, any home that was flooded during Sandy must have an electrical inspector examine it to ensure that it is safe to be re-energized. Much of south Bellmore and south Merrick was underwater in the storm, with dozens, if not hundreds, of homes flooding. So the areas south of Merrick Road could not immediately have their power restored, even if all of the lines were repaired, Gross said.
"If we energize" in south Bellmore and south Merrick, "that could be a huge public safety issue," he said.
By Wednesday, Gross added, "Power will be there, if not already," in areas south of Merrick Road. "It's just a matter of making sure those homes are able to receive power safely. Those customers will be in a special class."

Today is Super Bowl XLVIII. You probably know that. What you may not know is why everyone's talking about the guy who lost it in a TV interview, why that guy in orange and blue looks really familiar or what on earth a Seahawk is.
Today is Super Bowl XLVIII (5:30 p.m., Fox). If you have been awake anytime in the last two weeks, you probably know that.
What you may not know is why everyone's talking about the guy who lost it in a TV interview, why that guy in orange and blue looks really familiar or what on earth a Seahawk is.
Super Bowl Sunday — the day that crowns the champion of the nation's most popular spectator sport — is the biggest unofficial holiday in the United States. Football is the main draw, but it's also become a huge day for parties, snacking, funny TV commercials and other hoopla.
But maybe you've been doing other things besides watching football and you don't want to sound uninformed when you and your friends gather to tune in. Never fear. We're here to break it down so you can sound like you have some idea what's going on. Some of this information is widely known by serious football fans, but more casual fans will think you're really on the ball.
(Incidentally, a seahawk is a type of osprey, a bird of prey, that eats fish. You're welcome.)
Denver Broncos
Coach: John Fox
Team colors: Orange and blue
Regular season record: 13 wins, 3 losses
Road to the Super Bowl: Beat the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49'ers in the playoffs.
Player even non-fans have heard of: Quarterback Peyton Manning — he does commercials for Buick and Papa John's, he once hosted "Saturday Night Live," his younger brother Eli has already won two Super Bowls … and he's one of the best professional football players, like, ever.
Other standout players: Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (he catches passes), tight end Julius Thomas (he runs, he catches passes), kicker Matt Prater (his job is self-explanatory).
Previous Denver Broncos Super Bowl appearances: Won in 1998 and 1999, lost in 1978, 1987, 1988 and 1990.
Seattle Seahawks
Coach: Pete Carroll
Team colors: Blue and sea green
Regular season record: 13 wins, 3 losses
Road to the Super Bowl: Beat the San Diego Chargers and the New England Patriots in the playoffs.
Player even non-fans have heard of: Cornerback Richard Sherman, who made the game-saving play Jan. 19 that sent Seattle to the Super Bowl, but then went berserk in a TV interview because of an opposing player's trash talk. On Facebook, you probably saw photos of Sherman's scowl contrasted with essays about how he's really a nice man.
Other standout players: Quarterback Russell Wilson (he throws the ball), running back Marshawn Lynch (he runs with the ball), safety Kam Chancellor (he does what he can to stop the players throwing or running with the ball from getting very far).
Previous Super Bowl appearances: Lost in 2006.
Weather? Or not?
Expect to hear speculation about the weather's effect on the game. This seems remarkably silly because football players routinely play in rain, snow and subzero temperatures — pretty much anything short of lightning or tornadoes touching down on the 50-yard line. And Denver and Seattle ain't exactly San Diego.
But because this will be 1) the first cold-weather Super Bowl, 2) the first Super Bowl in the New York City metro area, media capital of the United States, and 3) it's the SUPER BOWL, everything's magnified a gazillion times.
Usually, the Super Bowl is played someplace warm, such as Miami (11 times) or New Orleans (10 times). Previously, northern cities hosting the big game had a domed stadium with the accompanying temperature control.
But MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., has no roof, no dome, not even a striped awning. The players and coaches will figure out how to handle whatever Mother Nature decides. The only people who care are broadcasters who didn't get to go somewhere with a beach this year.
* Teams with most Super Bowl appearances: Pittsburgh Steelers, 8 (won 6, lost 2), Dallas Cowboys, 8 (won 5, lost 3). Neither team was all that good this year, so they'll be watching the Super Bowl on TV — just like you!
* The first Super Bowl — with the Green Bay Packers beating the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967 — wasn't called the Super Bowl. It was called the First World Championship Game.
* Can you believe it's been 10 years since Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson were involved in that "wardrobe malfunction" during the Super Bowl halftime show? Seriously, 10 years.
* $88,000 — How much each member of the Baltimore Ravens received for winning the 2013 Super Bowl. This year's winners will likely receive slightly more for one day's work. (Or a lifetime, depending on how you look at it.)
* Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway — he helped them win two Super Bowls (and … ahem … lose three) — is now an executive vice president for the team. He's basically in charge of making sure the Broncos have good players on the roster. You'll see him sitting in a skybox.
* If you're reading this online using Microsoft software, thank Seahawks team owner Paul Allen, who founded Microsoft with Bill Gates. And now he owns a football team. Seriously, the dude is LOADED. You'll also see him in a skybox (but not the same skybox as John Elway).
* Many Seattle fans wear jerseys with the number 12. That refers to the "12th Man," or how the Seahawks consider their fan base to be the 12th member of the team on the field (you can have only 11 players on your side at any given time). The fans are so loud and boisterous, seismologists said they caused a small earthquake during a game Jan. 11.
* Speaking of numbers … historically, the Broncos have had the Seahawks', winning 34 times and losing just 19. But they haven't played each other in a game that counts since 2010, which is an eternity in football.
* Remember those New Year's resolutions to eat better? So why did they put Super Bowl Sunday about a month after New Year's Day, when everyone's willpower is ebbing? Super Bowl Sunday is a major snacking holiday. Last year, the Calorie Control Council estimated that on Super Bowl Sunday, Americans would eat 1.2 million pounds of potato chips. The National Chicken Council estimated we'd eat 1.23 billion chicken wings. And Pizza.com says the busiest day for pizza delivery is Super Bowl Sunday.
Halftime: Bruno Mars, the Hawaiian singer who was Billboard magazine's artist of 2013, was up for five Grammy Awards last week (winning one). His hits include "Locked Out of Heaven," "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade." Fun fact: When Mars was a boy, he was an Elvis impersonator in his family's band.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers the Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Give It Away," "Dani California") are also scheduled to perform. Fun fact: When the band made the cover of Rolling Stone in 1992, guitarist John Frusciante left the band about that time and was famously and awkwardly airbrushed out of the photo.
National anthem: Opera singer Renee Fleming will do the honors. Fun fact: Fleming will be the first opera singer to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl.
The commercials
It will cost $4 million, on average, for a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl, according to Ad Age. The game is, by far, the most-watched TV show each year, so advertisers pay big bucks to reach that enormous audience. If you watch with a lot of other people, notice how they'll chat during the game but get quiet during the ads.
Who's in this year? Various media reports have M&M putting its Yellow spokescandy in jeopardy, cast members from "Full House" helping John Stamos pitch Dannon's Oikos yogurt, Arnold Schwarzenegger playing table tennis for Bud Light for some reason, and race car driver Danica Patrick appearing in yet another GoDaddy.com spot. Look for commercials from Volkswagen, Butterfinger and the latest entries in Doritos' annual "make-a-commercial" contest.
Who's going to win?
This is a tough question.
* The professional gambling community — at least at this writing — had not settled on a clear-cut favorite. Gamblers were leaning just a shade toward Denver. But barely.
* Last year, zoo or shelter animals around the country were almost evenly split, with nine picking the San Francisco 49'ers (who lost, by the way) and eight picking the Baltimore Ravens, according to CBS San Francisco. The most accurate of the critter prognosticators, Princess, a New Jersey zoo camel that picked five of the last six winners correctly, died last month. So, we don't have that to go on.
* If experience is a guide, the edge goes to the Broncos. Coach John Fox and quarterback Peyton Manning — two of the most important people on the team — have been to the Super Bowl before with other teams and have experienced what it's like. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and coach Pete Carroll have never led a team to the Super Bowl (though Carroll won a couple of college national championships as a coach). In fact, every player on the Seahawks is making his first Super Bowl appearance.
* Fan voting on ESPN.com was almost 2-to-1 in favor of Denver at midweek. However, these same ESPN.com visitors were wrong about last year's winner.
* Fox Sports reports that EA Sports, makers of a popular football video game named after former coach and announcer John Madden, ran a simulation and predicted Denver will win. However, this caused one Broncos fan to comment online that he or she is "syked" for the game, which should make actress/comedian Wanda Sykes very happy ... or scared.
Like the outcome of the game, we can't tell.

Like many of you know, I was banging the drum for Russell Wilson before the 2012 draft. It wasn't a big club. Matt Waldman was one of the charter members, and he made a big deal about Wilson's quest to break the NFL free of it's "Flutiephobia" last offseason. Waldman's excellent writing was recognized when Football Outsiders hired him to be their draft expert, and his very first article at FO was none other than the "Asterisk" article about Russell Wilson that has since been linked on this message board countless times.
I was always a fan of Matt Waldman, but now it seems he's become a fan of our team.
He also compares Russell Wilson to Al Pacino from The Godfather.
To me, Wilson is like the Godfather. Quiet, charming, refined, but he'll rip your heart out. I'm sitting with 20 of my best Footballguys in Vegas two weeks ago, and we're watching the Seahawks fall behind early, but I didn't even worry because Wilson is all business.
Edit: After reading Waldman's first comment in the comment section, that settles it. I've been cloned. (Waldman, comletely out of nowhere, advocates strongly for DeAndre Hopkins to Seattle in round 1.)

Today, I want to inform you about a major change in the management of the project and the team. This is being brought about due to the remaining interested parties finding a workable, and exciting solution for the project that will allow the project to continue existing, working towards its vision - and most importantly working on the core issues in a more rigorous way.
We want to breathe new life into the project by getting a fresh set of eyes, a new perspective and strengthened ambition. This also allows individuals on the project that have been bogged down by stress or too much workload spread outside of their role to become empowered and work on the things that they do best.
Ultimately, this means greater quality for the product.
As part of this, Malant will be taking over as Project Manager from Daymar, and Doon will be taking the role of Community Manager. Starfish will be handing over Design Team Lead to Koots, but will be providing information & tutorials to Doon & Malant in order to get them up to speed as fast as possible with the project tools.
The following roles will become official today:
Project Manager
Community Team
Doon - Lead
Design Team
Development Team
Testing Team
We strongly believe that this new management has the ideas, skills and passion necessary to take the project and do something truly great with it, but they will be making an announcement about that in more detail in the coming days. For now though, we can all rest happy that the project has found a new home that will make it better than ever.
Finally, we wanted to apologise for the number of announcements today, as events have unfolded quickly throughout the day for the project, but we wanted to keep you up to date.

To seperate us from the "Dawg Forum"
The Lounge people are the true Dawg fans!
I don't believe in using mults in the Dawg Forum...mults are cowardly.
Do you really look like Shirley Hemphill? I'm getting myself hot over here.
Mults get strung up around these parts.
So that invite I just gave to djenkins was a bad thing...i'm new here:weird:
LessMoonbeams should be here too
Um no, there will be no Lounge. Get along with people, or get the fuck down the road.
Mults are #1 on my to do list. Not only will they disappear, any account associated/linked with them will disappear as well. Just so you know.
We're all new here.
I'm the only one who dislikes Less Moonbeams. Brenda Vaccarro is my grandmother and he befouled her!
What's all these peckertracks all over my royal robes?
What a maroon. What a ta rara goon de ay? :bugs:
I just binged on both seasons of Carnivale the last week.
Did you really? I have it and I was just thinking about watching it again. I loved that show.
Um, I think if you'll look. That aint no robe. I believe those are your labias ma'am. And the reason they're that royal purple color, is because they're badly bruised from dragging them on the floor.
That guy behind you in the checkout line that kept stepping on them didn't help.
HBO cancels some of the best shows.
it's all mults at SFN
So it was the clitoris at SFN, but here it's gonna be the labias? Damn...
I know, Babar was so great.

|Lumbus 4 - San Jose Sharks 3 - F
8th Place in the Western Conference
The Blue Jackets enter tonight's game in San Jose needing to win all three games (preferably in regulation) and combined with the Stars and Wings to gain no more than 4 points in their remaining game to make the playoffs. That formula gets the Jackets in the playoffs without having to worry about tie-breakers. It's also means there are a lot of other games to watch that impact the Jackets. How the Wings, Stars, and Wild play all impact the Blue Jackets, so by proxy we become fans of the Blue Jackets and "whoever is playing the Red Wings." But tonight our focus is on the Blue Jacket's roadie in San Jose, a team that the Jackets have played well this season. And well they did on this night.
Tonight's game turned out to be pretty offensive for the Blue Jackets. Bob played solid, but the offense, and importantly the power play, were clicking tonight. The third period saw the Jackets give up a two goal lead when the Sharks tied it at three thanks to Joe Pavelski. But with less that two minutes to go, Ryan Johansen makes the Sharks pay dearly for a turnover at their own blue line and put the puck where Mrs Carter keeps the Oxy, top shelf. (That's a Jeff Carter pill popping reference).
|Tonight we celebrate with beers from the NHL Brewery
1. Is it any surprise that Mark Letestu get the first tasty glass of "Jaromir Lager." Because when it's crunch time and your best players have to be your best players, a guy making $625k will have to do. Marian Who? But really, can you imagine if Rick Nash only had 1 point in 5 of the most important road games of the season? But seriously Letestu, thanks for playing tonight.
2. Vinny Prospal, this can of Lord Stanley's Celebration Ale is for you. You got sprung for a nice little break away and buried the puck in the net. It was the first time this season my excitement matched the intensity of your celly.
3. Jack Johnson, you get a cool glass of Eric Cole Porter (see what I did there). I'm not sure how you can have both your worst and best defensive plays of the season in the same game, but Anything Goes. Fortunately, there was more good today than there was bad. We'd like to see less bad. Seriously, less Bad.
4. A fourth beer was created in the past few games, the Dalton Prout Stout. Strong, dependable, stay at home kind of beer. The label of this beer will definitely feature a helicopter and the United Center. Prout has been playing big boy minutes the last few games. There's a rookie road bump here and there, but overall, not bad only 30-ish games into your NHL career.
5. Ryan Johansen, this glass of Dino Sniperelli Marzen is for you. The biggest difference on the Blue Jackets this over previous CBJ teams is this team's ability to capitalize on the other teams mistakes. This is a prime example. Then, take a can of Milbuy Extra Special Bitter Cider and hand it out to which ever detractor you choose. The label of this beer will feature an image of Milbury going all Kruschev on a fan DURING A GAME and a crying 12 year old. Suck it, Milbury. You're awful. And your beer is a cider.
6. To honor a great team effort tonight, the sixth beer is for the whole team. It's a case of Lake Placid Believe Wheat Beer. That's right folks. Whether I do believe or not, this team certainly does. And really, that's all that matters.
The Blue Jackets worked hard all night - they were not outworked. There were mental and physical mistakes in this game by the Blue Jackets. In the end, the Jackets stayed calm, cool, and collected after blowing a two goal lead in the 3rd. I don't want to jinx anything, but I think this team can actually get into the playoffs. Of course getting into the playoffs would be easier if Gaborik started contributing a little more. I've been a hockey player and fan for 30 years so my first date butterflies with Gaborik are gone. Step it up buddy. Prove Torts wrong. Get on the Effing board.
The Jackets have a couple days off before they play in Dallas. This upcoming game against the Stars might be an important one to win. The #CBJBWW viewing party at BW3 in Powell is going to be so much fun. Thursday's game will likely be the first 'Game 7' like experience for Blue Jackets fans. I can't wait. I will be there with my DKM Hockey Posse doing another on location Podcast. Its so much fun when April hockey matters in Columbus. So much fun indeed.

Git::Hooks - A framework for implementing Git hooks.
version 0.044
A single script can implement several Git hooks:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Git::Hooks;
my ($git) = @_;
# ...
my ($git, $msg_file) = @_;
# ...
run_hook($0, @ARGV);
Or you can use Git::Hooks plugins or external hooks, driven by the single script below. These hooks are enabled by Git configuration options. (More on this later.)
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Git::Hooks;
run_hook($0, @ARGV);
"Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. (Git README)"
In order to really understand what this is all about you need to understand Git and its hooks. You can read everything about this in the documentation references on that site.
A Git hook is a specifically named program that is called by the git program during the execution of some operations. At the last count, there were exactly 16 different hooks which can be used. They must reside under the
.git/hooks directory in the repository. When you create a new repository, you get some template files in this directory, all of them having the
.sample suffix and helpful instructions inside explaining how to convert them into working hooks.
When Git is performing a commit operation, for example, it calls these four hooks in order:
commit-msg, and
post-commit. The first three can gather all sorts of information about the specific commit being performed and decide to reject it in case it doesn't comply to specified policies. The
post-commit can be used to log or alert interested parties about the commit just done.
There are several useful hook scripts available elsewhere, e.g. https://github.com/gitster/git/tree/master/contrib/hooks and http://google.com/search?q=git+hooks. However, when you try to combine the functionality of two or more of those scripts in a single hook you normally end up facing two problems.
- Complexity
In order to integrate the functionality of more than one script you have to write a driver script that's called by Git and calls all the other scripts in order, passing to them the arguments they need. Moreover, some of those scripts may have configuration files to read and you may have to maintain several of them.
- Inefficiency
This arrangement is inefficient in two ways. First because each script runs as a separate process, which usually have a high start up cost because they are, well, scripts and not binaries. (For a dissent view on this, see this.) And second, because as each script is called in turn they have no memory of the scripts called before and have to gather the information about the transaction again and again, normally by calling the
gitcommand, which spawns yet another process.
Git::Hooks is a framework for implementing Git hooks and driving existing external hooks in a way that tries to solve these problems.
Instead of having separate scripts implementing different functionality you may have a single script implementing all the functionality you need either directly or using some of the existing plugins, which are implemented by Perl scripts in the Git::Hooks:: namespace. This single script can be used to implement all standard hooks, because each hook knows when to perform based on the context in which the script was called.
If you already have some handy hooks and want to keep using them, don't worry. Git::Hooks can drive external hooks very easily.
There are a few simple steps you should do in order to set up Git::Hooks so that you can configure it to use some predefined plugins or start coding your own hooks.
The first step is to create a generic script that will be invoked by Git for every hook. If you are implementing hooks in your local repository, go to its
.git/hooks sub-directory. If you are implementing the hooks in a bare repository in your server, go to its
hooks sub-directory.
You should see there a bunch of files with names ending in
.sample which are hook examples. Create a three-line script called, e.g.,
git-hooks.pl, in this directory like this:
$ cd /path/to/repo/.git/hooks
$ cat >git-hooks.pl <<EOT
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Git::Hooks;
run_hook($0, @ARGV);
$ chmod +x git-hooks.pl
Now you should create symbolic links pointing to it for each hook you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in a
commit-msg hook, create a symbolic link called
commit-msg pointing to the
git-hooks.pl file. This way, Git will invoke the generic script for all hooks you are interested in. (You may create symbolic links for all 16 hooks, but this will make Git call the script for all hooked operations, even for those that you may not be interested in. Nothing wrong will happen, but the server will be doing extra work for nothing.)
$ ln -s git-hooks.pl commit-msg
$ ln -s git-hooks.pl post-commit
$ ln -s git-hooks.pl pre-receive
As is, the script won't do anything. You have to implement some hooks in it, use some of the existing plugins, or set up some external plugins to be invoked properly. Either way, the script should end with a call to
run_hook passing to it the name with which it was called (
$0) and all the arguments it received (
Implementing Hooks
You may implement your own hooks using one of the hook directives described in the HOOK DIRECTIVES section below. Your hooks may be implemented in the generic script you have created. They must be defined after the
use Git::Hooks line and before the
run_hook() line.
A hook should return a boolean value indicating if it was successful. run_hook dies after invoking all hooks if at least one of them returned false.
run_hook invokes the hooks inside an eval block to catch any exception, such as if a die is used inside them. When an exception is detected the hook is considered to have failed and the exception string ($@) is showed to the user.
The best way to produce an error message is to invoke the Git::More::error method passing a prefix and a message for uniform formating.
For example:
# Check if every added/updated file is smaller than a fixed limit.
my $LIMIT = 10 * 1024 * 1024; # 10MB
my ($git) = @_;
my @changed = $git->command(qw/diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=AM/);
my $errors = 0;
foreach ($git->command('ls-files' => '-s', @changed)) {
my ($mode, $sha, $n, $name) = split / /;
my $size = $git->command('cat-file' => '-s', $sha);
$size <= $LIMIT
or $git-error('CheckSize', "File '$name' has $size bytes, more than our limit of $LIMIT.\n"
and $errors++;
return $errors == 0;
# Check if every added/changed Perl file respects Perl::Critic's code
# standards.
my ($git) = @_;
my %violations;
my @changed = grep {/\.p[lm]$/} $git->command(qw/diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=AM/);
foreach ($git->command('ls-files' => '-s', @changed)) {
my ($mode, $sha, $n, $name) = split / /;
require Perl::Critic;
state $critic = Perl::Critic->new(-severity => 'stern', -top => 10);
my $contents = $git->command('cat-file' => $sha);
my @violations = $critic->critique(\$contents);
$violations{$name} = \@violations if @violations;
if (%violations) {
# FIXME: this is a lame way to format the output.
require Data::Dumper;
$git->error('Perl::Critic Violations', Data::Dumper::Dumper(\%violations));
return 0;
return 1;
Note that you may define several hooks for the same operation. In the above example, we've defined two PRE_COMMIT hooks. Both are going to be executed when Git invokes the generic script during the pre-commit phase.
You may implement different kinds of hooks in the same generic script. The function
run_hook() will activate just the ones for the current Git phase.
Using Plugins
There are several hooks already implemented as plugin modules, which you can use. Some are described succinctly below. Please, see their own documentation for more details.
Allow you to specify Access Control Lists to tell who can commit or push to the repository and affect which Git refs.
Integrate Git with the JIRA ticketing system by requiring that every commit message cites valid JIRA issues.
Check commit log messages formatting.
Check if a git rebase or a git commit --amend is safe, meaning that no rewritten commit is contained by any other branch besides the current one. This is useful, for instance, to prevent rebasing commits already pushed.
Check if newly added files and references (branches and tags) comply with specified policies, so that you can impose a strict structure to the repository's file and reference hierarchies.
Inserts a
Change-Idline in the commit log message to allow integration with Gerrit's code review system.
Each plugin may be used in one or, sometimes, multiple hooks. Their documentation is explicit about this.
These plugins are configured by Git's own configuration framework, using the
git config command or by directly editing Git's configuration files. (See
git help config to know more about Git's configuration infrastructure.)
To enable a plugin you must add it to the
githooks.plugin configuration option.
The CONFIGURATION section below explains this in more detail.
Invoking external hooks
Since the default Git hook scripts are taken by the symbolic links to the Git::Hooks generic script, you must install any other hooks somewhere else. By default, the
run_hook routine will look for external hook scripts in the directory
.git/hooks.d (which you must create) under the repository. Below this directory you should have another level of directories, named after the default hook names, under which you can drop your external hooks.
For example, let's say you want to use some of the hooks in the standard Git package). You should copy each of those scripts to a file under the appropriate hook directory, like this:
Note that you may install more than one script under the same hook-named directory. The driver will execute all of them in a non-specified order.
If any of them exits abnormally, run_hook dies with an appropriate error message.
Gerrit Hooks
Gerrit is a web based code review and project management for Git based projects. It's based on JGit, which is a pure Java implementation of Git.
Up to version 2.6.0, Gerrit still doesn't support Git standard hooks. However, it implements its own special hooks. Git::Hooks currently supports only two of Gerrit hooks:
The ref-update hook is executed synchronously when a user performs a push to a branch. It's purpose is the same as Git's update hook and Git::Hooks's plugins usually support them both together.
The patchset-created hook is executed asynchrounously when a user performs a push to one of Gerrit's virtual branches (refs/for/*) in order to record a new review request. This means that one cannot stop the request from happening just by dying inside the hook. Instead, what one needs to do is to use Gerrit's API to accept or reject the new patchset as a reviewer.
Git::Hooks does this using a
Gerrit::REST object. There are a few configuration options to set up this Gerrit interaction, which are described below.
This hook's purpose is usually to verify the project's policy compliance. Plugins that implement
update, or
pre-receive hooks usually also implement this Gerrit hook.
Git::Hooks is configured via Git's own configuration infrastructure. There are a few global options which are described below. Each plugin may define other specific options which are described in their own documentation. The options specific to a plugin usually are contained in a configuration subsection of section
githooks, named after the plugin base name. For example, the
Git::Hooks::CheckAcls plugin has its options contained in the configuration subsection
You should get comfortable with
git config command (read
git help config) to know how to configure Git::Hooks.
When you invoke
run_hook, the command
git config --list is invoked to grok all configuration affecting the current repository. Note that this will fetch all
--global, and
--local options, in this order. You may use this mechanism to define configuration global to a user or local to a repository.
githooks.plugin PLUGIN
To enable a plugin you must add it to this configuration option, like this:
$ git config --add githooks.plugin CheckAcls
To enable more than one plugin, simply repeat the command for the next one:
$ git config --add githooks.plugin CheckJira
A plugin may hook itself to one or more hooks.
CheckJira, for example, hook itself to three:
pre-receive, and
update. It's important that the corresponding symbolic links be created pointing from the hook names to the generic script so that the hooks are effectively invoked.
In the previous examples, the plugins were referred to by their short names. In this case they are looked for in three places, in this order:
In the
githooksdirectory under the repository path (usually in
.git/githooks), so that you may have repository specific hooks (or repository specific versions of a hook).
In every directory specified with the
githooks.pluginsoption. You may set it more than once if you have more than one directory holding your hooks.
In Git::Hooks installation.
The first match is taken as the desired plugin, which is executed (via
do) and the search stops. So, you may want to copy one of the standard plugins and change it to suit your needs better. (Don't shy away from sending your changes back to the author, please.)
However, if you use the fully qualified module name of the plugin in the configuration, then it will be simply
required as a normal module. For example:
$ git config --add githooks.plugin My::Hook::CheckSomething
githooks.disable PLUGIN
This option disables plugins enabled by the
githooks.plugin option. It's useful if you want to enable a plugin globally and only disable it for some repositories. For example:
$ git config --global --add githooks.plugin CheckJira
$ git config --local --add githooks.disable CheckJira
You also may temporarily disable a plugin by assigning to "0" an environment variable with its name. This is useful sometimes, when you are denied some perfectly fine commit by one of the check plugins. For example, suppose you got an error from the CheckLog plugin because you used an uncommon word that is not in the system's dictionary yet. If you don't intend to use the word again you can bypass all CheckLog checks this way:
$ CheckLog=0 git commit
This works for every hook. For plugins specified by fully qualified module names, the environment variable name has to match the last part of it. For example, to disable the
My::Hook::CheckSomething plugin you must define an environment variable called
Note, however, that this works for local hooks only. Remote hooks (like update or pre-receive) are run on the server. You can set up the server so that it defines the appropriate variable, but this isn't so useful as for the local hooks, as it's intended for once-in-a-while events.
githooks.plugins DIR
This option specify a list of directories where plugins are looked for besides the default locations, as explained in the
githooks.plugin option above.
githooks.externals [01]
By default the driver script will look for external hooks after executing every enabled plugins. You may disable external hooks invocation by setting this option to 0.
githooks.hooks DIR
You can tell this plugin to look for external hooks in other directories by specifying them with this option. The directories specified here will be looked for after the default directory
.git/hooks.d, so that you can use this option to have some global external hooks shared by all of your repositories.
Please, see the plugins documentation to know about their own configuration options.
githooks.groups GROUPSPEC
You can define user groups in order to make it easier to configure access control plugins. Use this option to tell where to find group definitions in one of these ways:
As a text file named by PATH/TO/FILE, which may be absolute or relative to the hooks current directory, which is usually the repository's root in the server. It's syntax is very simple. Blank lines are skipped. The hash (#) character starts a comment that goes to the end of the current line. Group definitions are lines like this:
groupA = userA userB @groupB userC
Each group must be defined in a single line. Spaces are significant only between users and group references.
Note that a group can reference other groups by name. To make a group reference, simple prefix its name with an at sign (@). Group references must reference groups previously defined in the file.
If the option's value doesn't start with any of the above prefixes, it must contain the group definitions itself.
githooks.userenv STRING
When Git is performing its chores in the server to serve a push request it's usually invoked via the SSH or a web service, which take care of the authentication procedure. These services normally make the authenticated user name available in an environment variable. You may tell this hook which environment variable it is by setting this option to the variable's name. If not set, the hook will try to get the user's name from the
GERRIT_USER_EMAIL or the
USER environment variable, in this order, and let it undefined if it can't figure it out.
The Gerrit hooks unfortunately do not have access to the user's id. But they get the user's full name and email instead. Git:Hooks takes care so that two environment variables are defined in the hooks, as follows:
This contains the user's full name, such as "User Name".
This contains the user's email, such as "firstname.lastname@example.com".
If the user name is not directly available in an environment variable you may set this option to a code snippet by prefixing it with
eval:. The code will be evaluated and its value will be used as the user name.
For example, if the Gerrit user email is not what you want to use as the user id, you can set the
githooks.userenv configuration option to grok the user id from one of these environment variables. If the user id is always identical to the part of the email before the at sign, you can configure it like this:
git config githooks.userenv \
'eval:(exists $ENV{GERRIT_USER_EMAIL} && $ENV{GERRIT_USER_EMAIL} =~ /([^@]+)/) ? $1 : undef'
This variable is useful for any hook that need to authenticate the user performing the git action.
githooks.admin USERSPEC
There are several hooks that perform access control checks before allowing a git action, such as the ones installed by the
CheckAcls and the
CheckJira plugins. It's useful to allow some people (the "administrators") to bypass those checks. These hooks usually allow the users specified by this variable to do whatever they want to the repository. You may want to set it to a group of "super users" in your team so that they can "fix" things more easily.
The value of each option is interpreted in one of these ways:
usernamespecifying a single user. The username specification must match "/^\w+$/i" and will be compared to the authenticated user's name case sensitively.
groupnamespecifying a single group.
regexwhich will be matched against the authenticated user's name case-insensitively. The caret is part of the regex, meaning that it's anchored at the start of the username.
githooks.gerrit.url URL =head2 githooks.gerrit.username USERNAME =head2 githooks.gerrit.password PASSWORD
These three options are required if you enable Gerrit hooks. They are used to construct the
Gerrit::REST object that is used to interact with Gerrit.
githooks.gerrit.review_label LABEL
This option defines the label that must be used in Gerrit's review process. If not specified, the standard
Code-Review label is used.
githooks.gerrit.vote_ok +N
This option defines the vote that must be used to approve a review. If not specified, +1 is used.
githooks.gerrit.vote_nok -N
This option defines the vote that must be used to reject a review. If not specified, -1 is used.
run_hook(NAME, ARGS...)
This is the main routine responsible to invoke the right hooks depending on the context in which it was called.
Its first argument must be the name of the hook that was called. Usually you just pass
$0 to it, since it knows to extract the basename of the parameter.
The remaining arguments depend on the hook for which it's being called. Usually you just pass
@ARGV to it. And that's it. Mostly.
run_hook($0, @ARGV);
Hook directives are routines you use to register routines as hooks. Each one of the hook directives gets a routine-ref or a single block (anonymous routine) as argument. The routine/block will be called by
run_hook with proper arguments, as indicated below. These arguments are the ones gotten from @ARGV, with the exception of the ones identified by 'GIT' which are
Git::More objects that can be used to grok detailed information about the repository and the current transaction. (Please, refer to
Git::More specific documentation to know how to use them.)
Note that the hook directives resemble function definitions but they aren't. They are function calls, and as such must end with a semi-colon.
Some hooks are invoked before an action (e.g.,
pre-commit) so that one can check some condition. If the condition holds, they must simply end without returning anything. Otherwise, they should invoke the
error method on the GIT object passing a suitable error message. On some hooks, this will prevent Git from finishing its operation.
Other hooks are invoked after the action (e.g.,
post-commit) so that its outcome cannot affect the action. Those are usually used to send notifications or to signal the completion of the action someway.
You may learn about every Git hook by invoking the command
git help hooks. Gerrit hooks are documented in the project site.
Also note that each hook directive can be called more than once if you need to implement more than one specific hook.
APPLYPATCH_MSG(GIT, commit-msg-file)
PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG(GIT, commit-msg-file [, msg-src [, SHA1]])
COMMIT_MSG(GIT, commit-msg-file)
PRE_REBASE(GIT, upstream [, branch])
POST_CHECKOUT(GIT, prev-head-ref, new-head-ref, is-branch-checkout)
POST_MERGE(GIT, is-squash-merge)
PRE_PUSH(GIT, remote-name, remote-url)
pre-pushhook was introduced in Git 1.8.2. The default hook gets two arguments: the name and the URL of the remote which is being pushed to. It also gets a variable number of arguments via STDIN with lines of the form:
<local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF
The information from these lines is read and can be fetched by the hooks using the
pre-receivehook gets a variable number of arguments via STDIN with lines of the form:
<old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF
The information from these lines is read and can be fetched by the hooks using the
Git::Hooks::get_input_datamethod or, perhaps more easily, by using the
Git::More::get_affected_refsand the
UPDATE(GIT, updated-ref-name, old-object-name, new-object-name)
POST_UPDATE(GIT, updated-ref-name, ...)
POST_REWRITE(GIT, command)
post-rewritehook gets a variable number of arguments via STDIN with lines of the form:
<old sha1> SP <new sha1> SP <extra info> LF
extra infoand the preceeding SP are optional.
The information from these lines is read and can be fetched by the hooks using the
REF_UPDATE(GIT, OPTS) =item * PATCHSET_CREATED(GIT, OPTS)
These are Gerrit-specific hooks. Gerrit invokes them passing a list of option/value pairs which are converted into a hash, which is passed by reference as the OPTS argument. In addition to the option/value pairs, a
Gerrit::RESTobject is created and inserted in the OPTS hash with the key 'gerrit'. This object can be used to interact with the Gerrit server. For more information, please, read the "Gerrit Hooks" section.
Plugins should start by importing the utility routines from Git::Hooks:
use Git::Hooks qw/:utils/;
Usually at the end, the plugin should use one or more of the hook directives defined above to install its hook routines in the appropriate hooks.
Every hook routine receives a Git::More object as its first argument. You should use it to infer all needed information from the Git repository.
Please, take a look at the code for the standard plugins under the Git::Hooks:: namespace in order to get a better understanding about this. Hopefully it's not that hard.
The utility routines implemented by Git::Hooks are the following:
post_hook SUB
Plugin developers may be interested in performing some action depending on the overall result of every check made by every other hook. As an example, Gerrit's
patchset-created hook is invoked asynchronously, meaning that the hook's exit code doesn't affect the action that triggered the hook. The proper way to signal the hook result for Gerrit is to invoke it's API to make a review. But we want to perform the review once, at the end of the hook execution, based on the overall result of all enabled checks.
To do that plugin developers can use this routine to register callbacks that are invoked at the end of
run_hooks. The callbacks are called with the following arguments:
The basename of the invoked hook.
The Git::More object that was passed to the plugin hooks.
The remaining arguments that were passed to the plugin hooks.
The callbacks may see if there were any errors signalled by the plugin hook by invoking the
get_errors method on the GIT object. They may be used to signal the hook result in any way they want, but they should not die or they will prevent other post hooks to run.
is_ref_enabled(REF, SPEC, ...)
This routine returns a boolean indicating if REF matches one of the ref-specs in SPECS. REF is the complete name of a Git ref and SPECS is a list of strings, each one specifying a rule for matching ref names.
As a special case, it returns true if REF is undef or if there is no SPEC whatsoever, meaning that by default all refs/commits are enabled.
You may want to use it, for example, in an
pre-receive, or
post-receive hook which may be enabled depending on the particular refs being affected.
Each SPEC rule may indicate the matching refs as the complete ref name (e.g. "refs/heads/master") or by a regular expression starting with a caret (
^), which is kept as part of the regexp.
im_memberof(GIT, USER, GROUPNAME)
This routine tells if USER belongs to GROUPNAME. The groupname is looked for in the specification given by the
githooks.groups configuration variable.
match_user(GIT, SPEC)
This routine checks if the authenticated user (as returned by the
Git::More::authenticated_user method) matches the specification, which may be given in one of the three different forms acceptable for the
githooks.admin configuration variable above, i.e., as a username, as a @group, or as a ^regex.
This routine checks if the authenticated user (again, as returned by the
Git::More::authenticated_user method) matches the specifications given by the
githooks.admin configuration variable.
This routine makes it easier to grok config values as Perl code. If
VALUE is a string beginning with
eval:, the remaining of it is evaluated as a Perl expression and the resulting value is returned. If
VALUE is a string beginning with
file:, the remaining of it is treated as a file name which contents are evaluated as Perl code and the resulting value is returned. Otherwise,
VALUE itself is returned.

Hi All,
I need the help of a C++ programmer with experience in developing multithreaded Windows applications using MFC.
I really need someone who can spare the odd day to provide guidance/training to get me up to speed in these skills quickly by helping to develop the project structure. It's a very informal role in a very relaxed atmosphere - a group of freelancers working in a shared space near Tower Bridge in London.
The work involves the analysis of signals from transmitters tagged to wildlife in an important conservation project. It's a really interesting (and increasingly important) field and may well result in further work down the line.
I can offer payment, though perhaps not the full market daily rate. The role is available immediately.
If you are interested, please get in touch.

MELGES 32 Punches Above its Weight to Win CYCA Audi Winter Series on Sydney Harbour
20 July 2010
Guy Stening and crew racing Melges 32 Optimum concluded the CYCA Audi Winter series last Sunday with another first place in the thirteen race series. This gave Stening a four point lead to win the entire Division B series over Warrick Sherman Occasional Course Language in second place.
Sydney harbour turned out some spectacular winter racing with conditions throughout the series ranging from 0 to 30 knots. A mark rounding altercation a few weeks ago was no setback for the M32, one of the smaller boats in the fleet.
Guy as the Australian representative of the Melges 32 class used strong class ties with Melges 24 Class President Cameron Miles running quality crew for the series.
The amazing rides and great racing on offer with the Melges classes is being discovered as owners like Matt Allen and Warrick Rooklyn take delivery of their new Melges 24 in time for Airlie Beach Race Week.

This is really such an amazing set. I can't wait to use it for my next Pulp Sci Fi or Star Trek game as aliens.
Excellent work! I love the colour choices.
I will buy more of these sets as long as they are as cool as this one.
MOUNTED ANTS! What more can I say about this?
Reivaj Minis brings ANOTHER great set of figures to the table. These beautifully drawn and colored figures add new life to this set, and give great and endless possibilities to the gaming experience. You can use these workers as NPC's, or as part of a campaign (one player has to move them across the table, and the other player has to eliminate them). And those MOUNTED ANTS... they can REALLY be useful as Fast Assault units!
A brilliant mind and talented artist delivers gold!

Service-Oriented Science: Scaling eScience Application & Impact
Published on
My work is frequently motivated by the information technology concerns of "big science", a frequently fascinating source of problems for the computer scientist due to the broad scope and ambitious goals of many scientific communities. I speak here about work that seeks to rethink science's information technology foundations in terms of service-oriented architecture. In principle, service- oriented approaches can have a transformative effect on scientific communities, allowing tools formerly accessible only to the specialist to be made available to all, and permitting previously manual data processing and analysis tasks to be automated. However, while the potential of such "service-oriented science" has been demonstrated, its routine application across many disciplines raises challenging technical problems. One important requirement is to achieve a separation of concerns between discipline-specific content and domain- independent infrastructure; another is to streamline the formation and evolution of the "virtual organizations" that create and access content. I describe the architectural principles, software, and deployments that I am and my colleagues have produced as we tackle these problems, and point to future technical challenges and scientific opportunities.

Fast, Pretty Party Favors: Re-Wrap Store-Bought Candy!
We love homemade candies and gifts, but sometimes when you're already cooking for a dinner party, there's no time for from-scratch favors. Here are four adorable ways to take store-bought candy and make them look like custom gifts. They'd be sweet little place settings for a Valentine's Day dinner.
Any of these would make adorable birthday party favors, too. None of them take long (the photo wrapper is the most complicated) or cost much money.
We'd scatter them across the table as decoration for a dinner party or pile them up in a glass bowl as a pretty, colorful centerpiece. We don't think anyone will complain when they open it up and find a familiar treat. (Who doesn't have secret, nostalgic love for Rolos?)

Connect to rich Aboriginal traditions, awe-inspiring landscapes and pioneer history in Alice Springs, which sits just south of Australia's geographic centre. Learn about the area's first inhabitants - the Western Arrernte Aboriginal people - in the Araluen Cultural Precinct and in the vibrant art lining Todd Mall. Find out how plucky pioneers shaped the modern town in the Telegraph Station Historical Reserve, Royal Flying Doctor Service and School of the Air. Experience an outback adventure on a camel trek or hot air balloon ride. On your final day, 4WD through the prehistoric terrain of Finke Gorge National Park, visit a huge comet crater and see where acclaimed Aboriginal painter Albert Namatjira grew up.
The Journey
Connect to rich Aboriginal traditions, awe-inspiring landscapes and pioneer history in Alice Springs, which sits just south of Australia's geographic centre.
Alice attractions
Climb to the top of Anzac Hill for sweeping views over Alice Springs and the distant MacDonnell Ranges. Breakfast in one of the bustling cafes along Todd Mall, then join a hop on and off bus to the town's main attractions. See where Alice began at the Telegraph Station Historical Reserve, part of the revolutionary telegraph system that connected England with Australia in 1872. Sit in on a virtual lesson with children in remote parts of Australia's centre at the School of the Air. Wander through the Araluen Cultural Precinct, learning about Central Australian mythology, art and culture. The precinct's attractions include the Albert Namatjira Gallery, Museum of Central Australia and the seven sacred sites of the Two Women Dreaming Track. Afterwards, browse the rich Aboriginal art strip of Todd Mall. Return to Anzac Hill to catch the mesmerizing, lava-like sunset before enjoying a feast of bush tucker in a restaurant in town.
Outdoor adventure
Do a dawn camel trek to the sandy Todd River, where each August the quirky Henley-on-Todd sailing regatta is held. Or see the desert awaken in soft colours on a hot air balloon trip over the rugged McDonnell Ranges. Afterwards, learn about the unique birds, animals and habitats of the Red Centre in the award-winning Alice Springs Desert Park. Walk through different desert habitats, watch free-flying birds of prey and learn how Aboriginal people have survived here for thousands of years. Visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service, where you can listen to pilots' inspiring stories of outback rescues. These real-life medical emergencies will give you new insight into the isolation of life in the Australian outback. In the evening, dine in an old Ghan train carriage or join a big barbeque in town.
Finke Gorge National Park
Hire a four wheel drive or join a tour to the ochre expanse of Finke Gorge National Park. Drive along the dry Finke River to Palm Valley, a desert oasis where prehistoric red cabbage palms flourish. They stand as stubborn reminders of a time when our red centre was lush with tropical forests. Drive west along the Mereenie Loop Road to Tnorala (Gosse Bluff) Conservation Reserve, where a huge comet crashed more than a million years ago. For the Western Arrernte Aboriginal people, this crater has a more magical Dreamtime explanation. Driving to Alice Springs in the other direction, you'll pass the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct, best known as the birthplace of famous Aboriginal watercolour artist, Albert Namatjira. See some of his original works hanging in the restored, 19th century mission buildings. Return to Alice Springs or unroll your swag beneath the stars. You'll find camping facilities back near Palm Valley in Finke Gorge National Park.
Find attractions and tours in and around Alice Springs
