Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen joins WSJ's Alan Murray at the CEO Council to discuss how Congress and President Obama can avoid falling over the fiscal cliff.
Jose Maria Anzar, former Spanish prime minister, speaks at the WSJ CEO Council and weighs in on what the future holds for Europe.
Jon Hilsenrath talks with three top economic professors about how the US needs to develop a new global economic strategy to meet the changes in the international economic system.
During the opening discussion at this year's annual meeting of The CEO Council in Washington, three former legislators discuss what Obama needs to do to make a divided government work.
The CEOs divided into five task forces and debated priorities in the following areas: increasing economic growth, restoring confidence in the financial system, remaking health care, dealing with the risks and opportunities of the proliferation of personal data, and working toward a new consensus on energy.
Using an electronic ranking system devised by the Journal, each task force chose four top priorities in its subject area.
Each task force then reported its priorities back to the full council. The chief executives then ranked all the priorities from the five task forces in order of their relative importance and urgency.
Here's a look at their top five priorities.
1. Balanced Deficit Reduction
The president and Congress must recognize that going off the fiscal cliff would create a period of financial and economic instability. They should take advantage of the chance for a grand bargain so businesses and consumers can plan for the long term. This agreement should be balanced between spending cuts and revenue increases.
2. Business Tax Reform
Government should pursue revenue-neutral business tax reform to enhance U.S. competitiveness, including lower marginal tax rates, a broader base and a territorial system.
3. Immigration Reform
Government should pursue comprehensive immigration reform that addresses legal and illegal immigration, removes barriers to immigration of skilled workers and encourages foreign students to remain in the U.S.
4. Competitiveness
A closer working relationship is needed between business and government for the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. economy—including bringing businesspeople into government and creating a better climate for entrepreneurship.
5. Promote Shale Oil and Gas
The administration should support oil and gas development to promote energy diversity. It should: 1) support state regulation of drilling, 2) collaborate with industry to bolster public confidence, 3) facilitate leasing on public lands, and 4) facilitate construction of new midstream pipeline systems.

Two weeks of news: Diverse wind power purchases, turbine orders illuminate industry on the move
Indicator No. 1: Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). For the last several months, AWEA has been noting increased interest in wind on the part of utilities. The 3Q market report revealed that utilities have signed 5,670 megawatts (MW) of new PPAs.
Just this week, wind PPAs were in the news at least three times. On Tuesday Apex Clean Energy, through its subsidiary Balko Wind, LLC, signed a Renewable Energy Purchase Agreement withWestern Farmers Electric Cooperative for 100 MW of wind energy from Apex's Balko Wind project. The contract covered the final megawatts sold on the 300 MW project, which is expected to come online in 2015. No question, Apex has been busy. Just last week, Kansas-based investor-owned utility Westar Energy, Inc., said it has reached agreement with the developer to purchase 200 MW from a wind farm Apex will build near Arkansas City.
Also last week, Basin Electric signed two PPAs for electrons generated at a pair of Infinity Wind Power's North Dakota projects. The 106-MW Sunflower Wind Project is located in Morton County, near Hebron, and the 172-MW Antelope Hills Wind Project is in Mercer County, near Golden Valley. Both facilities are expected to be online by the end of 2015.
Finally, this week, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission signed off on three 20-year PPAs lined up by Xcel Energy utility subsidiary Southwestern Public Service Co. Two of the contracts are for power from NextEra Energy Resources projects—199 MW from the Mammoth Plains facility in Oklahoma and 249 MW from the Palo Duro wind project in Texas. Both of those projects are expected to be completed next year. The Xcel Energy subsidiary entered the third contract for energy coming from Infinity Wind Power's Roosevelt wind farm, which will be online by the end of 2015.
Indicator No. 2 (and unexpected trend): non-utility wind power purchases. A couple of years ago, when Google began buying wind energy directly from project owners to power its data centers, the practice might have been assumed to be merely the strategy of one progressive company already known for doing business in an out-of-the-box sort of way. Today, though, the practice of buying cost-effective, clean wind energy appears to have caught on. This week alone, both Facebook and IKEA were in the news with such purchases. While Facebook's announcement this week involves renewable energy certificates, it decided to locate its facility in wind energy-rich Iowa for a reason. IKEA, meanwhile, this week said it has bought a 46-MW Canadian wind farm from Mainstream Renewable Power. And on top of those announcements, there's the Microsoft news already reported last week in the Wind Energy Weekly and AWEA's Into the Wind blog: The software giant recently announced it has signed a PPA for all of the energy coming from RES Americas' Keechi Wind facility, a 110-MW project expected to be completed in 2015.
Indicator No. 3: Turbine orders. It's generally well known that original equipment manufacturers such as Vestas have been booking orders and hiring additional workers to fill them. Add Acciona to the list of OEMs that have been revving up. This week the turbine manufacturer said it has inked a $400 million deal to supply 100 of its AW 116/3000 3-MW turbines--its biggest U.S. order ever for that model--to an unnamed customer in Texas.

Look what some recent guests had to say about our Captain's Quarters 3 bedroom unit;
"We were very pleased with our visit at the Dockside (Captains Quarters), great staff and great accommodations. We come periodically with the whole family (my elderly parents live in Durham) and rented a house on the Nubble the last time. Although that was a great experience, the Captain's Quarters offered the same flexibility as the house with the additional security of having a front desk and easy check in etc. over the house rental."

Consolation – Navigating the Interior Life Spiritual Dictionary

Filed under Consolation/Desolation, Dan Burke, Discernment, Spiritual Dictionary
CONSOLATION: An interior movement aroused in the soul, by which it is inflamed with love of its Creator and Lord. It is likewise consolation when one sheds tears that move to the love of God, whether it be because of sorrow for sins, or because of the sufferings of Christ our Lord, or for any other reason that is immediately directed to the praise and service of God. Consolation can also be every increase of faith, hope, and love,... Read More

Dear Father John, in responding to questions on this forum, you've often said something like, "the interior turbulence that the situation is causing you is most likely not from the Holy Spirit". I think St. Ignatius says something similar when discussing the discernment of the spirits. Since Jesus and Mary were perfect, how would you explain the great anguish and sadness that Jesus felt in the garden of Gethsemane or the... Read More
Is "resting in the spirit" or being "slain in the spirit" the same as contemplative ecstasy?
February 14, 2012 by Dan Burke
Filed under Consolation/Desolation, Dan Burke, Mystical Experience
Dear Dan, I have experienced what people call "resting in the spirit" or being "slain in the spirit." It was amazing. The priest prayed for me and I fell to the floor as if I had passed out (no injuries as I was already praying on my knees facing the Altar). However, I was still aware of others around me but was lost in God's love. I am curious if this experience is the same as "ecstasy"? Before I answer your question,... Read More

"Susan Wingate is a virtuoso when it comes to character development and tension, both internal and external. Sacrifice at Sea is her most ambitious work yet – giving us characters struggling amidst love, commitment, mystery, and murder – and she delivers beautifully." ~ Michael Angel, Amazon bestselling author of I Married the Third Horseman.
"Susan Wingate knows how to write. In this third novel in her BOBBY'S DINER series, Georgette and Willy think they're taking a pleasant cruise with friends. But Zach Pinzer is aboard, and he's angry. Susan weaves romance, fun, and suspense throughout this fast-paced novel, which will shock you at the end." ~ Terry Persun author of Sweet Song and Rev7.
"A suspenseful and well-penned novel that is sure to entertain… Read on!" ~ Suspense Magazine
"Susan Wingate does a wonderful job of making an entirely improbable situation seem so real and believable. I've read an older book of hers titled, "Of The Law," and although that one was intriguing (actually very intriguing, but that's another review), this one has everything a reader could ask for. Great dialogue, gritty drama, and terrific writing. I could listen to Vannesa and Georgette get into it all night long. And so will you." ~ Gary Ponzo, award-winning author of the Nick Bracco series (including A Touch of Malice and A Touch of Deceit)

Article contributed by David Morris-
High Speed, Low Drag Firearms Training Tips…
By survival, preparedness, and firearms expert, David Morris
If you consider firearms as a vital part of your preparations, but can't afford to shoot as much as you'd like, I feel your pain.
Between the cost of ammo, range time, (sometimes) fuel to get there and back, and the time that it takes to get stuff ready before hand and get stuff cleaned and lubed when you get done, it's hard for shooters to get as much trigger time as they know they need.
Add to that the fact that I don't really want people to know how much I shoot or how well I shoot, and I used to find myself in a dilemma of how to continually train to maintain and improve my shooting skills while maintaining some privacy and not breaking the bank.
Which is why I researched and wrote the book, "Tactical Firearms Training Secrets." where I shares many of the most powerful low cost and free training techniques that military special ops, police SWAT, and competitive shooters, including Olympians choose to use…even though they have virtually unlimited training budgets.
With that in mind, I want to share one of my favorite at-home training techniques from the book with you that will allow you to maintain (and probably DRAMATICALLY improve) your shooting skills quickly, quietly and inexpensively.
It's called, "Eyes-shut dryfire." It's not an incredibly creative name, as you'll soon see, but it IS incredibly powerful.
It should go without saying that you should follow all of the rules of safe dry-fire training, but, unfortunately, I have to say them, just in case:
1. Make sure to get proper live, in-person training from a qualified firearms instructor…even before dry firing.
2. Always double check that your firearm is unloaded. this should include both a visible confirmation and a physical confirmation (with a finger.) If you are training with more than one person, every person should AT LEAST double check the firearm.
3. Make sure that you do not have any live ammo in the room where you are practicing your dry-fire drills.
4. Make sure of your backstop…don't dry-fire towards a room with people in it. Don't dry-fire towards a sheetrock wall facing your neighbor's house. Don't dry-fire towards a big screen TV. This can make finding a location to practice dry-fire a little difficult, but negligence with a firearm can be incredibly costly.
5. If you have them, use dummy training rounds. These are not "dum-dum" rounds that explode…they're inert rounds that have no primer or gunpowder in them that are made specifically for training.
6. Even better, if you have it, use a replica, trainer, or airsoft firearm that matches your real firearm.
7. YOU are responsible for everything that you do with a firearm. These tips are only examples of things that you may want to consider doing after careful review. You should only train with a firearm after live, in-person, professional instruction, which this is not, and anything bad that happens as a result of using these or any other techniques is all on you.
OK…now on to the training exercise.
Basically, the goal is create muscle memory so that you automatically aim your firearm at your target as you are presenting it from a holster or ready position.
This technique works with any firearm and is amazingly simple to do:
1. Holster your firearm or, in the case of a rifle or shotgun, put it in a ready position.
2. Pick out a spot on a wall/bookshelf/etc. across the room or 10-20 feet away if you're outside.
3. Shut your eyes. < 4. Present your firearm and aim at the spot while keeping your eyes closed.
5. Open your eyes.
6. Correct your aim, paying attention to how it feels.
7. Repeat.
How many times should you repeat this drill? It depends. I know shooters who will add in trigger press, racking the slide, and trigger reset and do it 500 times per night when they initially buy a new firearm. That is ideal, but I wouldn't let that number intimidate you. I suggest no fewer than 10-20 times per session, but no more than what you can do with perfect technique.
Practice this technique aiming at targets directly in front of you, at angles, with both one and two hands, and with both your dominant and secondary hand. (Don't call it "weak")
It won't take very long at all to see what a difference your grip has on your natural point of aim and how much this drill will improve your shooting ability. In many cases, it only takes 3-5 minutes to see noticeable, and oftentimes dramatic improvements. To improve your consistency, try to concentrate on using the exact same grip every time you present your firearm.
By developing a consistent grip and presentation of your firearm that automatically puts the point of aim at your intended target without having to wiggle it around or think about it, you can shave several fractions of a second off of the time it takes you to fire an accurate first shot under stress.
This is one of my favorite dry-fire techniques and it is just the tip of the iceberg of the high speed, low cost, low visibility techniques that I cover in my book, Tactical Firearms Training Secrets.
They come from the last 10 years of traveling around the country and training with world renowned special operations personnel and trainers, champion competitive shooters, and Olympians.
As a bonus, Dustin Ellermann, winner of Top Shot Season 3 loved the book so much that he agreed to demonstrate the skills throughout the book!
And in case you're wondering, no other book like this currently exists. In addition to going through thousands of dollars of training, thousands of dollars of ammo, and hundreds more on every tactical firearms training book that I could find, I interrogated psychologists, psychiatrists, and peak performance coaches to find THE most efficient ways to improve tactical shooting skills with the least amount of time and money.
The book is only $7 this week, and you can be reading it and even start using some of the techniques in the next 5 minutes by clicking on the following link: Get your Tactical Firearm Training manual now.
What I didn't mention above is that most of the training exercises in the book can be safely done right in your own home, letting you bypass the escalating time & costs of a range, the ammo, etc.
And perhaps even more importantly, this dovetails perfectly with whatever method of training you've done in the past… nothing is wasted.
A couple folks asked about David's other products.
They're all terrific; listening to him talk you wonder how any one person can have that much info crammed into their head.
But if it's not right for you, just get the book for 11 bucks and pass on the rest.
You won't offend him… or me.
However, this is one time I'd recommend staying ON his list. Each week is like getting another chapter in a master 'survival series.' All written from a calm, sane perspective vs others who come at you with a fire-breathing, world-is-ending style.
Something special…
No promises but I'm hopin to get something special for everyone who picks up the book. Maybe a private call with David. We'll see. For all his writing, he's a very private guy who rarely does these things (When was the last time you even saw a picture of him? Answer: never… unless you were at the TFT classes he attended.) I'll let you know if I work anything out.
In the mean time, grab a copy of his ebook today for next to nothing… Regularly $11. on sale for a limited time for $7.

Visions from the lives of the now dead
She is warm like sunshine, super nice and bright. Not afraid to give people a smile and talk to strangers. She is deeply compassionate and sensitive to other peoples suffering. She feels bad for others when the suffer and is the type of person who will reach out and see what she could do. She really hates to see people in pain, chances are this deep rooted compassion stems from all the trauma, physically and emotionally that she has had to fight through during her short life already. So she relates to the pain emotionally.
She struggles a lot with her inner demons, its understandable for all the trauma she has had to face emotionally and physically. She has had to face things that made her hate herself, feel disgusting and dirty. She has used tattoos to find strength within herself and to remind herself of who she is, and that she can regain controle over her life. That these things wont destroy her. That she can start over again.
Shes not weak and feeble, but strong. A survivor. She has been through great stress and pain in her life. Her family is well enough off. Not rich, not poor. The middle classers. But she had been beaten and rapped and left for dead. Stabbed multiple times in her abdomon. She managed to get to help in time. Though her belly has four jagged scars. Thats one reason she keeps her body well covered. She had to get massive surgery that ended up removing some of her intestine, so she cant gain weight. It also makes it so she is prone to being unhealthy, unable to get enough nutreints from her food.
She is frightened of the dark, it unnerves her, and every little noise seems to put her on edge. She is brave, and faces her fears, but she hates it. She draws strength from her tattoo of the eye of Horus, she got it as protection.
She has been getting better, but there are things that can set off panic attacks, usually nightmares of what happened to her, she sometimes ends up screaming and waking up. Or waking up to not being able to breath because of a panic attack. She is tormented and haunted by her past. But she is a fighter and tries to keep living as normally as she can.
Born on November 19th in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Her mother retired to be a stay at home mom, while her father brought in enough money to afford a very nice house and a comfortable upper middle class life from being an Air Canada pilot. She has grown up moving around a lot, though they always seem to go back to Vancouver. She has traveled excessively, her father always taking his family for trips all around the world. Her favorite place being Egypt, going to the monuments and museums always being the highlight of it. And riding across the desert on camels or Arabians.
She had a little bit of an extraordinary life because of the traveling, but something awful happened when she was thirteen. She been living in Edmonton, Alberta at this point in time. And had been in the large West Edmonton Mall when she ended up being forcefully taken and then moved to a gold course where she was beaten, raped, and left for dead after being stabbed four times. She had managed to find a security guard on the property before passing out. She nearly died from toxic poisoning from a puncture in her intestines. She had to have extreme surgery and some of her intestine track had to be removed. Thus she is now prone to malnutrition because she her body cant absorb as much nutrition from her food. She also is slim because honestly she cannot gain weight anymore. She has to eat copious amounts of food because her body keeps thinking its starving. She took a very long time to recover, and that�s when she got her first tattoo, it was on her left hip, the eye of Horus. A symbol of protection. And Egyptian. It was what she used to focus on to help her over come her anxiety and panic attacks. It was also when she really started to have her psychic abilities start unlocking. She thought she was going crazy at first as she communicated with, and saw the dead.
Her family moved soon after the rape and attempted murder, back to Vancouver. She was never really the same. Its really what triggered her to get the tattoos. She needed something to help her cope, to deal with the pain and self loathing. After being raped she felt filthy and dirty. And it disgusted her to look in the mirror. First was Horus. Then was a large tattoo of Anubis over her right side. The Egyptian Jackal headed god that represented mummification and the afterlife. She got it to symbolize the death of innocents. But also has a deep meaning for her. Mummification was done in Egypt in expectation of the afterlife, of a new life. So, to her this tattoo means that through the death of innocents, she would find a new life, a new start.
She lost lots of weight after that, and became freakishly thin. Unhealthily so. She struggled with her image, and how disgusting she felt, like a withered up image of her former self. Unhealthy and sickly. Like an angel with deformed boney wings. And that�s when she got the wings on her back. It might seem morbid and hopeless. But it strengthened her to go on. That though she had fallen, she had wings. As deformed or disfigured as they may seem for wings. That she couldn�t think of things skin deep. After it she managed to gain weight and get a little healthier.
Her life had changed, the meaning of it changed. Life wasn�t just something that was. It was given, and it could easily be taken away. And she knew it too intimately now. She had died in the hospital. Her heart had stopped. A year after the horrible attack she drew out all her fears, all her nightmares. And put them in a wicker bird and burnt them. She also got a tattoo of a phoenix on her left upper arm. The symbolization of how all the horrible nasty things could just burn away. That she could burn them, get past them. Turn those huge daunting things to a pile of ashes.
So all her tattoos have a meaning, they give her strength and power to overcome. Not like some actual power. But just a reassurance from her inner self. She got through her schooling on top of her class, because she couldn�t do sports she devoted herself to studying. Distracted from time to time by the odd ghost, and odd clip of some persons life before they died. She managed to look normal enough. She in fact did so well that she graduated collage early to become a doctor, and even aced her Advanced Trauma Life Support training program, something that hadn�t really been mandatory. She is skilled, and able to deal quickly with life threatening injuries.
After traveling around for work, she connected to another psychic and was relieved when she found out she wasn�t going crazy, she wasn�t the only one who communicated with the dead. That�s when shit really hit the fan in her life. A hunter contacted her for help in two strange murder investigations. And that�s when things like demons and vampires became all too real. She helped out, demanded to know what she was seeing after she drew out the image of a vampire killing a teenaged boy, and another of the demon she saw stripping skin off the back of a middle aged man. She wished she never asked. Because after that she realized there was much more to the world than the living and the dead. But good and evil.
Now she finds herself moving around restlessly, because he parents vanished four months back. No trace. The rest of their family gone or cut off from their life as it was, it left her alone. She thinks it has something to do with supernatural things. But she isn�t sure. She has no evidence or proof. Between searching she works at hospitals in the cities and towns she stops in. She also has been becoming a sought out �doctor� to help the hunters when they need some under the table mending.
The crisp air nipped at her face as she exited the new black car and looked out to the cold stone building, the hospital, it was where she worked. Sighing she pulled her coat tighter against herself, attempting to shield against the chilled breeze that nipped against her. Her cat like blue eyes narrowing into the dark. It made her uncomfortable to step into the pooling dark shadows. The lights in the parking lot were minimal and it never failed to unnerve her. But the closed and trapping feeling of the parkaid was worse. A least here she felt she could make an attempt to escape if something came up. Her eyes shifting over the darkness that spread out down to a set of doors were the staff could enter in.
She played with the cool keys and a light jingling cut the thick silence as she managed to force her frightened body forward. Her eyes shifting wearily around the parking lot. It was bad enough what had happened to her all those years ago at thirteen. But now that she knew so much of what was really out there. That so many people didn�t know about. Those people blessed with ignorance. What she knew was out there was frightening. More frightening and strange than seeing the dead.
A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she made it to the door. Her work key fitting into the lock before she turned it, followed by the door swinging open. With hast she pulled her key from the lock and closed the door. It locked instantly behind her. She walked with a purpose to the change room, got in her hospital garb then walked out and signed in. She checked up on a few patients, seeing how they had been recovering from surgery. All was well. All was rather flat and boring. She was snacking on a pile of kitkat bars when the door opened. An eyebrow lifted at the bloodied figure. She recognized them as one of the hunters. �
Well, well. What do we have here? Need some patching up?
� she said, a teasing sarcasm in her sweet as honey voice.

Better than meeting a celebrity in real life, cuz ya get to keep it!
By RosieKay from Kingwood, TX on Feb 24, 2011
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Born with the research hound gene and having learned patience lately, I have looked and browsed through used, new, discount, clearance etc. for my dining room. Almost chose one at half the cost 2 years ago, but just didn't pounce on it. I'm an old POTC fan, mega-fan and wanted something so rustic and detailed it looked like it came off the Black Pearl or out of a castle. Almost did the tin ceiling thing too, but again, being patient we went for wood ceiling, painstakingly painted with metallic gold and espresso paints. It was the DETAIL, the scroll work, the size. The puny builder model 35 year old chandelier we've been living with and daily looking at and wanting something better was long enough. The time had come and stumbling into this chandelier I knew this was it. The candle sleeve globes are as tall as a soda can and a little slimmer. A little startling when I opened the box. Are they too small? Once all bits and pieces assembled, I guess those designers figured it out. They could be a little fatter in my book, but it looks great over our 4 ft square marble table. My hubby didn't like how the tube for sliding the wire through to the box in the ceiling was almost too tight. You must have at least a 30 inch high support box to hold the chandelier while installing and somebody with a flash light pointed in the right place for the person connecting wires and all. With 4 60 watt bulbs, when the dimmer is cranked up it is very bright, but when you can dial in the mood lighting, and the look of the chunky candle wax dripping and the glow it almost looks real. You just don't see the cool detail of this chandelier all at once until looking up toward the ceiling. The perfect match for the wood!!!!! If we had room for a formal larger dining table, I bet two of them would look super. Good Luck. So now finish the walls! HappySails from Kingwood.

FairlyFearlessCan't say I've done this, but I'm definitely DOING this
Things are unbelieavly much better since the mediation.. I think we are both just astonished.
I decided to move this from goals to "I've done this" (even though with Relationship School matters the class-work always continues when I realized I was about to send him a genuinely cheerful how-are-you, here's-an-article-I-think-you-would-enjoy emails.
Really… this astounds me. 8 years ago

Finally, I got a chance to write my first SVN hook.
Seems to be very easy and useful.
My GoalMy first hook relates to the migrate plugin in play!framework.
For those of you who use rails, you might know this plugin/module/gem already.
It helps you version your DB schema.
Each file has the following pattern :
<version>.(up/down).someName.sql 1.up.addingTableUser.sql 1.down.addingTableUser.sql 2.up.addingNumberOfLoginsToUser.sql 2.down.addingNumberOfLoginsToUser.sql
As you can see - the version is a number that increments each time. When you work in a team - you will get a lot of clashes between versions.
The version of this module I was using (which is quite old by now), had a bug. If you had the combination of "up" or "down" in the name of the version, it would fail. So for example :
would fail, as the word "Group" has the combination UP in it..
There are 2 things I needed to resolve with my pre-commit hook :
- make sure the version does not clash
- make sure the name does not have the combination "up" or "down"
Writing the Hook
In unix it's quite easy to write the hook in any language you want as long as the Shebang line is there.
I decided to write my hook in Python.
The svnlook Command
It seems that the SVN comes with a simple command called svnlook that gives you all the API you need to write a hook.
You execute it in a command line (from code, as a different Process) - and you parse the output.
I found the commands :
svnlook changed REPOS_PATH
svnlook tree REPOS_PATH [PATH_IN_REPOS]
most useful.
Where to Start From
After you read the API a bit, and you have an idea about how to write the hook, you start by reading the command line arguments.
The first one holds the "REPOSITORY_PATH" and the second one holds the "TRANSACTION_ID".
The TRANSACTION_ID - exists only while committing, which makes it harder on development. I replaced the flag "-t" for transaction with the flag "-r" for revision while developing, because it is easier to run the script.
In Python, you will usually have the following code :
#!/usr/bin/env python import sys import os if __name__ == '__main__': if ( len(sys.argv) ) < 3: sys.stderr.write("Usage: %s REPOS TXN\n"%(sys.argv[0])) else: repository_location = sys.argv[1] transaction_id = sys.argv[2] main(repository_location, transaction_id) sys.exit(0)where "main" is the function you should implement. I implemented it like this :
def main(rep_location, tx_id): added_migrate_files = get_added_migrate_files(rep_location, tx_id ) for migrate_file in added_migrate_files: check_added_migrate_file(migrate_file, rep_location)ass you can see - I first get all the new files that are added, and filter out only those who match the "migrate" files pattern. Then, I iterate over them, and check each one. Lets see how I implemented them
def get_added_migrate_files(rep_location, tx_id): changes = os.popen('svnlook changed ' + rep_location + ' -t ' + tx_id ).read().split('\n') print('found changes : ' + ",".join(changes) ) res = [] for change in changes : lchange = change.lower() print('checking if [' + lchange + '] starts with a %s'%(lchange.startswith('a'))) if ( lchange.startswith('a') and migrate_path in lchange ): print('looking at change : ' + lchange) res.append(lchange.split(migrate_path)[1]) return resIn order to get the added files, I execute with "os.popen" the "svnlook changed" command. I read the output from the process with "read()" and split the result to get separate lines. For each line I check if it represents an addition. In subversion, an addition is noted by a capital "A" at the beginning, but since I am working with "lower()" I compare it with "a" instead. The "migrate_path" is the relative path in repository where the migrate scripts' folder resides. I decided to refer to a single path. It might not be your choice, but I preferred to be safe than sorry. So when I run "lchange.split(migrate_path)[1]" - I am actually extracting the name of the migrate script file. this function returns all the names of added migrate files. Now lets have a look at how I check if they are valid
def check_added_migrate_file(added_migrate_file, rep_location): migrate_file_parts = added_migrate_file.split(".") print('checking migrate file : ' + added_migrate_file ) migrate_version = migrate_file_parts[0] + "." + migrate_file_parts[1] # a version is a combination of number and up/down print('migrate_version : ' + migrate_version) migrate_file_name = added_migrate_file lower_name = migrate_file_parts[2].lower() print('name : ' + lower_name ) tree = os.popen('svnlook tree ' + rep_location + ' ' + migrate_path,'r').read().split('\n') for tree_file in tree: filename = tree_file.strip() if ( filename.startswith(migrate_version) ): sys.stderr.write("migrate file with version = " + migrate_version + "already exists!") sys.exit(1) if ( "up" in lower_name.lower() ): sys.stderr.write("file " + migrate_file_name + " contains the sequece 'up' (case insensitive). need to remove it") sys.exit(1) if ( "down" in lower_name.lower() ): sys.stderr.write("file " + migrate_file_name + " contains the sequence 'down' (case insensitive). need to remove it") sys.exit(1)This algorithm looks complicated but it's quite simple. The main thing to note here is that I am running the "svnlook tree" command. giving me the existing migrate scripts in the repository. Once I have them I simply compare the version to the added files with 2 loops. (I don't care about performance here). I also verify that a file name does not contain the sequence "up" and "down". As a new python developer, I was amused to discover it is accomplished with the "in" keyword.
Important Things to Note
- I keep writing to stderr. These messages will appear later in SVN output incase the commit fails
- debugging a hook is hard. Even though I print to stdout, you have to wrap the "pre-commit" with a script that outputs the stdout to a file in order to be able and debug it.
- while developing, I simply replaced the "-t" flag with "-r" - allowing me to run the hook from command line, giving it revision numbers instead of transactions. A transaction id only exists during an actual commit.
- In my installation, pre-commit hooks did not run by default. I had to go to my repository manually, and under a folder named "hooks" I had to rename a file named "pre-commit.tmp1" to "pre-commit" (in unix).
Then I had to add a line of code in "pre-commit" to add my new hook to the flow.
- I had some problems with permissions. So make sure you give permissions to execute your hook.
Great Tip for Debugging
I suggest you change "pre-commit" script, to return "1" instead of "0" while you develop a new hook.
This way - the commit will always fail, and you can easily repeat it.
For example - my hook takes affect on "added files". So if the commit succeeds, I need to create new files, add them to SVN and then commit = 3 operation.
However, when I fail the commit each time, all I have to do is commit again = 1 operation.
Saves a lot of time.
Wrapping Pre-Commit for DebuggingThis is pretty simple, but not a lot of people know how to do it.
#!/bin/sh /svn_rep_path/hooks/pre-commit-run $* > /svn_rep_path/hooks/my.log exit 1The trick here is to use "$*" in order to pass all command line arguments to the real script. "pre-commit-run" here Once you're done, you should be able to commit wrong files and get errors. I use tortoise SVN so I got this :

When the Lunar (Chinese) new year happened this year, I felt nostalgic. I miss just doing the rounds of Chinatown in any city. And tasting a lot of Chinese delicacies. There is something exotic about their food. Of course, I am not too daring to go overboard with their exotic stuff (eels, frogs and the like). But I love some of their seafood variety, fruits and exotic flavored ice creams. And the dragon masks and decorations :-) And I love dumplings. And their herb teas are great for the palate. You know where this is going - I am such a big foodie. Gosh.
I think a fair share of affinity to street style Chinese food comes from my love for Indian dhaba style food. Give me a plate of greasy chowmein, stir fries and lots of sauce and I am good to go. So I was mildly surprised when I saw the real Chinese food taste so different from the Indo-Chinese fast food that's served in India (sort of like Panda Express). A lot of actual Chinese food is broth baised/steamed/lightly cooked.
I am huge fan of dumplings so I made a trip to Prosperity Dumplings in New York's Chinatown. Of course I went alone ;-) I venture out on my own on explore-as-you-go type of food crawls. Because it requires an appetite for patience and handling stomach upsets. And I am not sure how far my company can push. Hence alone.
They are a hole in the wall. But I wasn't too surprised by the long waiting line (and this was on a weekday late noon). They have about a 1000+ reviews on yelp. I have been to some elite Dim Sum places, but they pale in comparison with the dumplings at Prosperity. They are famous for their pork chive fried dumplings - too bad I don't eat pork. So I just went for their steamed veggie dumplings, duck and carrot stuffed sesame pancake (greasiest!) and a noodle soup. Washed it down with a bottle of cold water. All for a total under 10$. Now who could beat that?!
After that I got two scoops of lychee and black sesame ice cream from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory - their asian flavors are the real deal! I then made my way through a whole alley of souvenir shops (btw this is where you should buy those "I love NY" shirts. A lot of tourist end up buying them from Times Square. Not done :-)) And then reached the open markets to buy fruits and seafood. Btw, you can't bargain with the Chinese - not only because you don't understand their language but also because they are very relentless. You are better off trying but wouldn't guarantee a discount. Haha. So I didn't push the lady in the picture too much and got a bountiful of dragon fruits, cherries and plums.
Then I headed to the seafood stores. Oh what heaven! Picked up some fresh shrimp and snapper (their seafood deals are a steal!). But careful not to get cheated. They mix in some stale fish with the fresh ones. I also always walk up and down few stores to compare prices.
A word of caution to the vegetarians, some of the sights and smells at a Chinatown can be really hard to take in. Because there will be, invariably gregarious window displays of slaughtered animals for purchase. Yeah, the Chinese are all out about displaying meat and not shy in this case. I have seen the ballsiest of my non-vegetarian friends go dizzy in their stomachs, on such sights.
As for me, I was born to walk around Chinatowns in every city :-)

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp To Restate Financial Results For The Quarter And Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (NASDAQ:PMBC) (the "Company") announced today that, based on a finding in a recent regulatory examination of Pacific Mercantile Bank, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary (the "Bank"), the Company has determined that it will restate its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 that were contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The restatement involves an increase of approximately $3.3 million in the Bank's allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2009, resulting from our decision, made on the basis of that regulatory examination, to give greater weight to qualitative factors in the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses.
"On a positive note, we are seeing a recent trend that leads us to believe that the condition of the Bank's loan portfolio is improving," stated Raymond E. Dellerba, the Company's President and CEO.
- Loan delinquencies (loans past due from 1-89 days), which totaled $7.6 million, or 0.90% of total loans, at September 30, 2009, declined by approximately $5.0 million, or 65%, to approximately $2.6 million, or 0.31% of total loans, at December 31, 2009; and
- Non-accrual loans (consisting mostly of loans greater than 90 days past due), which totaled approximately $60.0 million at September 30, 2009, declined by approximately $8.0 million, or 13.3%, to approximately $52 million at December 31, 2009.
"We are encouraged by this trend, which reflects not only a gradual improvement in economic conditions, but also our decision, in 2007, to reduce real estate interim construction lending, our concerted loan collection efforts and our implementation of more stringent loan underwriting standards," added Mr. Dellerba. "However, there is no assurance that this trend will continue, as the future direction of the economy and the speed of the recovery remain uncertain. Moreover, we are not yet able to determine the extent of the impact that this trend will have on our future operating results and we expect that the provision for loan losses will continue to represent a substantial expense, as non-performing loans will continue for some time to remain high relative to pre-recession levels."

Lotus Inn Restaurant, Kamloops BC
Sometimes you find the best food in restaurants that look too scary to eat in. If you don't know what I am talking about -- I mean the little hole in the wall joints that serve up some delicious eats. Well, I am here to tell you that this is NOT the case with Lotus Inn.
I was working in Kamloops for a week and a co-worker of mine said we had to check out Lotus Inn. He raved that they had an awesome Chinese dinner buffet and that it is a must for him every time he visits Kamloops. Not being one to turn down new restaurant; especially, one that comes highly recommended from a co-worker, I thought - hey, lets give it a go.
As we walked into the place I started becoming regretful of my decision to allow myself to be swayed into a Chinese buffet (yet again). This place was quite large, but almost all of the tables were empty (bad sign). Secondly, the Lotus is so, outdated. It looks like a bad restaurant in an even worse hotel. However, I overcame my natural reaction to run out the door screaming - HELP, HELP.
Let's get to the reason that you all are reading this - the food. I wish I could say that I was taken aback by how wonderful their food was; unfortunately, their food matched their decor - Old & Tasteless. In actual fact, this has to be one of the worst Chinese buffets I have ever eaten at; probably, the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at.
If I can make one suggestion it would be this - Stay Far, Far Away.

i do not agree with this post. some great food is served here and i have never been disappointed.the buffet has over 40 dishes and also offers chinese style veggies and meats. the decor is outdated but friendly staff makes up for it. all you can eat for 14 bucks. i think this place is a steal!ice cream included!

Well, the great thing about food is that we each have different tastes and opinions. I take it that there is a few people out there that find the Lotus Inn to meet their expectations. However, I do not; and, still believe that the Lotus Inn is one of; if not, the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in.
- December 31, 2012 at 4:20 PM
It's ok when you eat it... it's 25 minutes after you eat @ the Lotus, that you realize how awful it is!!

I so want this game, why the hell is it coming so long after in Europe. Hopefully the japanese voices arent removed and are atleast available in options, playing a Ghibli film is gonna be amazing. I just have a feeling that this game is gonna be the game i will remember the PS3 generation for the visuals and atmosphere is fantastic already. Hopefully the DLC will be available on-disc by the time it hits Europe when its being released so far after the japanese one
wow love the box art already aswell love how so much is crammed into it and the colours are everywhere.

I hope the DLC is on disk by the time we get it too... but if not I'd still be more than happy to pay for it all since I want this game so badly and it just looks like so much fun.
You're right, that box art is amazing.

I am still upset over the 2013 release date for this. Releasing news about it doesn't help.
