By using ! to invert the exclusion includes all stuff from the path
Since I have a .DS_Store file in my theme directory, it get's included in the repo, because of the inversion.
Is there a solution?
Example (last two lines from the gist above):
Now if I have a .DS_Store file in
wp-content/themes/my-theme/ it will be included in the repo.
@avioli you may want to check that you have
.DS_Store specified in your project's .gitignore file or your global .gitignore list. If you're depending on global gitignore's, it could also be that someone else who's working on your project doesn't have .DS_Store in their global .gitignore and subsequently added the .DS_Store file to the project.
Either way, the negation that re-includes your specific theme directory shouldn't override .DS_Store's exclusion.
Now that the file's been added, you'll need to manually remove it from the repository for the .gitignore to take effect again.
@avioli re-reading your question, it sounds as though you may be posing a hypothetical problem rather than describing one you've encountered, so I'd like to follow up with a little more explanation.
The negation that matches the .../my-theme/ path should not match .DS_Store files; even if
.DS_Store is a pattern in a global .gitignore file or a pattern that appears earlier in the same file, it will remain excluded after the .../my-theme/ negation.
The reason for this is that the negation is applied to the path:
This line tells git to remove the .../my-theme/ path from its list of exclusions, but the pattern doesn't use any wildcards that might apply to individual files within that path, so it won't override the earlier .DS_Store exclusion. To override file exclusions such as .DS_Store, we'd need to follow it up with:
...which would apply to all files within the .../my-theme/ path, and would therefore override the .DS_Store exclusion pattern. (So don't do it!)
Hope that helps. .gitignore patterns can be a little confusing.
(An aside: ending patterns with a slash to specify paths is relatively recent; as @benklocek pointed out, earlier versions of git don't support this.)
@jbartlett Thank you for the clarification. I didn't have
.DS_Store inside
.gitignore. I thought all dot-named files/folders are excluded from the git repo by default.
Great gist !
I use git submodule (for plugins) and in that case you must add:
I find whenever I'm changing branches using this gitignore, my plugins disappear when I merge back into the master, has anyone else encountered this problem?
Posted a question on stackoverflow to no avail
Hmmm... I can't seem to make the /* work -- it insists on grabbing everything. (I'm a git newbie so it's likely that I'm missing something...)
OK. I think I got it now. I needed to create my
.gitignore file PRIOR to adding all the files using
git add . . Hopefully this'll help some other newbie out there someday...
Great!, Now I can use the same directory for the clone and the rest of the code without using symlinks
Thank you for this setup man, I forked it to a version that I am using for my latest project. Cheers.
How I exclude the README.md file.
Everything is fine whis this gists except that the README.md file isn't displaying
I am trying to implement this on a Wordpress to limit version control on plugin and theme subdirectories. How to clone the full site though to get started since most of the site is ignored? What order and steps are to be taken? I first added all files except the custom plugin and theme subdirectories but when i clone, I get an error that the directory is not empty.
I have experienced an issue where untracked files do not show in my working tree. This was caused by the trailing slashes after directories. Example:
Should be..
Great example.
I have added also wp-config.php.
I am using git versioing for wp for getting updates from dev, to tst and then from tst to production, on each of these wp-config.php is different. What is your opinion?
Update: I suppose this .gitignore excludes everything in the root so it means also wp-config:-)
after I deployed git init with git ignore set for wordpress I found nothing is there. Now I pissed off and want to get back those files but don't know hoe to do it. Can any one suggest how to solve this problem.
@Vinoth945 Add it to the root of your WordPress directory, so the folder where wp-content and friends are.
I'm using git 2.3.0 and had to do this to get the
wp-content directory unignored.

The articles in this volume focus on the fifteenth century. Several draw on the substantial archives of the Burgundian polity, focusing particularly on the Flemish shooting guilds, spying, and the provision of troops by towns. The urban emphasis continues with a study of the transition from "traditional" artillery to gunpowder weaponry in Southampton, and a comparison of descriptions of military engagements in the London Chronicles and in Swiss town chronicles. Welsh chronicling of the battle of Edgecote (1469) is also reviewed, and there is a re-assessment of Welsh involvement in the Agincourt campaign. English interests in France are pursued in two further papers, one considering the personnel of the ordnance companies in Lancastrian Normandy and the other examining the little-known French attacks on Gascony in the early years of the fifteenth century.

Introducing Portland's greenest neighborhoods (photos)
The Portland Business Journal's upcoming list on the city's "hottest" neighborhoods made us wonder: Where might we find Portland's "greenest" 'hoods?
Love thy neighbor: See if your ZIP is among the top 12 for renewable energy use
To get there, we sought as much data as we could get in the shortest period of time. Kudos to Portland General Electric and Energy Trust of Oregon for delivering sets of useful numbers — PGE sent us its 10 leading ZIP codes in terms of renewable energy purchases, by percentages, while Energy Trust provided a list of its residential solar projects by ZIP code — in just one day.
What we really wanted, and what we assumed we could get immediately, was city data on recycling and composting rates by ZIP code. It turns out the city doesn't track its efforts by ZIP codes because it contracts with 18 waste carriers that work across neighborhood and ZIP code boundaries. We also wanted the city's data on water usage by ZIP code, per capita, but couldn't procure that either. Next time, perhaps.
So what we have here, in our inaugural Greenest Neighborhoods list, are areas rated on a cumulative index that awarded points for landing within either, or both, of the PGE and Energy Trust's 10 leading ZIP codes for renewable energy usage.
Click through the gallery above to see whether your 'hood made the cut.

We hear a lot about the evil of stimulants. Amateur doctors who get their info from infomercials or Aunt Clara have begun to equate beverage/food stimulants with tobacco, alcohol and those absurdly misnamed "recreational" drugs. There is no comparison between being a zoned-out zombie and perking up to a Pepsi or cafe latte. Those who don't see this need a reality check...

This book is one-sided in it's approach to the benefits/costs of caffeine use. I would definately agree that it's probably better to drink coffee than to crash your car, or have an industrial accident of some kind. I'd also say that most of the benefits that are discussed in this book are short-term. I believe that the costs are cumulative, and long-term.

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
This book is one-sided in it's approach to the benefits/costs of caffeine use. I would definately agree that it's probably better to drink coffee than to crash your car, or have an industrial accident of some kind. I'd also say that most of the benefits that are discussed in this book are short-term. I believe that the costs are cumulative, and long-term.
The authors take great pains to point out that any negative effects of caffeine are dose-dependent. I'd agree that anyone could use 10mg of caffeine per day without any significant negative effects. Who doesn't increase their dosage over time though?
They talk about how much caffeine one would have to consume in order to have a toxcicity reaction. Caffeine does have negative (as well as positive) effects well below toxic dosages. They also make the patently false claim that the caffeine analogs found in tea, chocolate, guarana etc. have exactly the same neurological effects. These caffeine analogs are chemical cousins, but they aren't chemically identical, and they have different neurological effects. Doctors sometimes prescribe theopyline (tea caffeine) to asthmatics.
Caffeine is not the only biologically active substance in coffee. There is an antioxidant in coffee (that's good). However this antioxidant evaporates after about 20 minutes, so drink your coffee fast. Caffeine itself is not an antioxidant (as the authors falsely claim).
All of the lab studies relating to the effects of caffeine have used pure caffeine (not coffee). There are over 50 differen't alkaloids in coffee (including caffeine). Several of the alkaloids in coffee are known neurotoxins. There is also one alkaloid that has been found to powerfully alter cholesterol levels (although there is more of this chemical in coffee that hasn't been paper-filtered).
Caffeine has been proven to compound the effects of a stressful situation. Studies have shown that the same stessful situation on caffeine will cause a much greater increase in both bloodpressure and heartrate. These effects increase rather than decrease over time. It may be that people become accustomed to higher and higher stress levels. This may be proven biologically to to be the result of a gradual increase in cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and a corresponding lowering of DHEA (youth hormone) levels over time. Caffeine's main action is that it interferes with the normal metabolism of GABA. GABA is the brain's natural sedative. It subsequently affects noradrenaline, insulin, and melatonin levels. If you take the drug Xanax, then you are probably compensating for caffeine consumption.
I'm not going to list all of the references to research. There are plenty of books, and articles that do this. I suggest reading "Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug" by Stephen Cherniske. The major problem that I have with "The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug" is that it's like the religion of caffeine. People (especially caffeine-dependent lab-bound researchers) want to believe that there are no negative effects related to their favorite substance. I also think that the drug companies may make alot of money selling drugs that attempt to compensate for the negative effects of caffeine.
I would like to suggest that anyone with stress-related disorders like anxiety, depression, or insomnia try quitting all forms of caffeine for at least 6 weeks. It takes weeks for neuroendocrine hormones to balance out. It also takes 12 hours for caffeine to be detoxified by the liver. I can almost guarantee that you will feel less stressed-out if you can tough out the hedaches and drowsiness for awhile. You might also try very gradually decreasing your caffeine dosage (to avoid the withdrawl symptoms). Try gradually blending in more decaf coffee with regular (if that's the way you get your caffeine). DHEA supplementation might be useful. I don't personally take DHEA supplements. I use some natural methods to raise my DHEA levels. If you want to learn more about DHEA, then read "The DHEA Breakthrough" by Stephen A. Cherniske. I also suggest checking out PubMed for information on Caffeine, or any other substance.

We hear a lot about the evil of stimulants. Amateur doctors who get their info from infomercials or Aunt Clara have begun to equate beverage/food stimulants with tobacco, alcohol and those absurdly misnamed "recreational" drugs. There is no comparison between being a zoned-out zombie and perking up to a Pepsi or cafe latte. Those who don't see this need a reality check. In fact, I am sipping a Dr. Pepper as I write (and, I might add, without a twinge of guilt.)
Caffiene is a modern development, especially the refining and concentrating of its powers. It emerged from the shadows in the Industrial Society and was indispensable in the conversion from a society of alcholic stupor to one that would revolutionize the world. The origins of both coffee and tea are quite similar - both being recognized for their medicinal purposes. Both had strong religious opposition (Islamic and Catholic) and both developed rituals and sites dedicated to the imbibing of the liquid.
Coffee and a few other naturally occurring plants also contain caffiene. The scientific section was too advanced for 99% of the readers- more like a chemistry treatise - but the history of
this ubiquitous drug was exciting and learned. The story of the rise of coffee houses, their political and social importance and the tale of the origins of afternoon "Tea" were both well done/ The history of soft drinks was an eye-opener as well. The book contains several illustrations and is best enjoyed with a hot cup of Costa Rican Arabica beaned coffee (not pre-ground).

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
First, a mistake by the authors: they write, "There is a case of a child who died from orally ingesting less than 5.5 grams, or the equivalent of about five cups of coffee." (p. 315)
Now, 5.5 grams is equal to 5,500 milligrams. If the average content of a cup of coffee is taken to be about 100 mg (see Appedix A), then the child ingested not five but FIFTY-FIVE cups of coffee (or equivalent dose).
This kind of mistake is often fatal but all too common in medical accidents, usually committed by pharmacists and doctors.
What can I say? Neither author is medically trained - one is a lawyer and the other a writer. Their cautious endorsement of caffeine must be taken with a grain of salt (and not too much of that either).
One complication of the matter is that people who consume much caffeine also tend to smoke a lot and have other unhealthy habits. By contrast, health-conscious people who don't smoke and do have healthful habits (like taking vitamins) drink their coffee only in moderation. The authors have not failed to point this out, but that's no defense for excessive coffee-drinking.
Frederick the Great is mentioned as a campaigner against coffee. What they neglected to say is that Old Fritz was himself a manic drinker of coffee. (I know, because he's one of my heroes.)
What excessive caffeine can do is most dramatically illustrated by a NASA experiment on p. 237. Exposed to four potent drugs - marijuana, benzedrine, choral hydrate, and caffeine - a spider spins a complete chaos on the last one only.
This is an interesting book worth having on your bookshelf. Mine is already stained with black coffee - decaf.

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
Before the advent of caffeine beverages in Europe, which didn't happen until the seventeenth century, what did people drink? That is just one of the many questions answered in this thoroughly informative book about caffeine. Mostly they drank beer. Indeed for breakfast it was typical to have beer soup sopped up with bread. There were no stimulant beverages available, and people did not generally drink water since safe water was not readily available. Such a world it must have been with most people drinking alcoholic beverages from sun up to sun down! Then came first cacao, and then coffee and tea, and our world changed. It is interesting to realize that part of the value of cocoa, coffee and tea is the fact that they are consumed in water that has been boiled. The health benefits of drinking safe water made habitual by the mildly addictive force of caffeine turned out to be a boon to humankind. When one considers the usually deleterious nature of addiction, this is a delicious irony.
The emphasis here of course is on the two most widely consumed caffeine beverages, tea and coffee. Weinberg and Bealer guide us through the facts and the folklore, the history and the pharmacology of the world's favorite drug. They begin with the origins of coffee and tea in Part I: "Caffeine in History," followed by its arrival and widespread use in Europe in Part II: "Europe Wakes Up to Caffeine." Part III is "The Culture of Caffeine" including knowledge about such things as the tea ceremony in Japan, the famous Oxford Coffee Club and the birth of the Royal Society in England and the rise of the coffee houses. The story of Coca-Cola in America and the advent of what the authors call (p. 195) "The Straight Dope: Vavarin, NoDoz, and Other Caffeine Pills," is detailed. The cultural "duality" between coffee and tea is expressed and a two-columned list presented in which, for example, coffee is associated with the male and tea with the female; coffee with indulgence and tea with temperance; coffee with excess and tea with moderation; Americans versus the English, Balzac versus Proust, etc.
I found the last two parts of the book, Part IV: "The Natural History of Caffeine," and Part V: "Caffeine and Health" the most interesting. The chemistry of caffeine is therein discussed and information is given about how much caffeine is in various beverages (Starbucks decaffeinated coffee, for example, was found to actually have 25 mg of caffeine, while an average cup of regular java contains anywhere from 40 to 180 mg). Maté and guarana, caffeine drinks popular in South America, are compared with coffee and tea, as well as with cacao (the source of chocolate), and the cola nut (which is typically chewed), along with the bark of a tree from which something called yoco tea is made. Even betel, khat, ephedra and coca leaves are brought into the discussion. The mental and physical effects of caffeine are assessed as well as that of other methylzanthines found in caffeine plants, such as theobromine and theophylline. Caffeine's effect on memory, depression, aggression, alertness, etc. are looked into, and the question of whether caffeine is a drug of abuse is addressed.
I must say that I found just about everything I wanted to know about caffeine in this book. It is easily the best book on the subject that I know of. The presentation is readable and entertaining with tables, photos, black and white prints, and cartoons augmenting the text. There's even some poetry. One of the most interesting illustrations shows four spider webs spun by spiders each "under the influence" of a different drug, marijuana, benzedrine, chloral hydrate and caffeine. Guess which web is the most distorted?

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
"The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug" is the best book found on the subject. No other book even comes close to the scope of this important topic covered in such magnificent detail! Nearly 400 pages in length encompassing seventeen highly informative chapters separated into five distinct parts, this jewel of nonfiction work by authors Bennett Alan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer is sure to mark it's place in history as the best in its class.
Part I, "Caffeine in History" tells everything you could possibly want to know about this powerful, world's most popular drug, from the Arabian Origins to its refined, almost religious use in Europe, blending into Part II. Part III discusses the role of caffeine from a cultural standpoint and works its way into Part IV, "The Natural History of Caffeine." Of particular interest to me is Part V, "Caffeine and Health," specifically Chapter 15, "Caffeine and the Body," Chapter 16, "Thinking Over Caffeine: Cognition, Learning, and Emotional Well-Being" and Chapter 17, "Caffeine Dependence, Intoxication, and Toxicity." The details of how caffeine permeates every cell in the body are clear, straightforward and very comprehendible. This book was written in a classical narrative style, wonderfully free of slanted opinions and unrelated ramblings in an instructional tone. This is one of the most beautifully arranged and printed hardbounds that I have found, so much that after only a few minutes I had to get my own copy!
It is clear to me now that there are far more benefits to caffeine than detriments. It has been proven to increase alertness, improve concentration and even to help with weight loss, and much more. According to the book, it would take almost 100 cups of coffee to reach toxic blood levels! Even on a day where I crave two or three double lattes, I can now rest easier knowing that I'm far below toxic. But even here the authors make it clear that even after two strong cups of coffee, some of the well-known side effects can take hours to wear off: nervousness, talkativeness and anxiety. It even compares and cross-references other elements of caffeine, a member of the methylxanthine family, to other important naturally occurring compounds such as theophylline and theobromine found in cacao and yerb mate. Absolutely fascinating! The book also has me convinced that I'm hopelessly hooked to caffeine--and not just from coffee!
The message: watch your intake of caffeine levels by knowing how it works in your body and where it orginated, and how other peoples of the world regard its use. No other singular work encompasses the knowledge of the world's preferred drug of choice. There is more than enough information to include as well-founded research of your own, based on the rock solid references, informative notes, beautiful black and white photographs and perfectly placed, highly detailed illustrations. The page layout is practically an art in itself, set in an older typeface reminiscent of a proprietary Garamond. Easy on the eyes, printed on natural (off-white) paper, extremely well edited and a pleasure to read! Beautiful section headers and chapter numbers resembling currency make the book visually appealing. Even the cover makes me want a cup--and a chocolate bar! Logical, no-nonsense flow from chapter to chapter. It is a real treat now to come across a book that lives beyond my expectations as an educated reader. After reading this book, you should have a degree in its own class. Top recommendation for all readers over 13. Buy it today, and don't even think about selling it!

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
What we need is a drug that can help people engage each other socially, that can provide mental and physical stimulation and increase creative energy, that is pleasant to ingest, that is cheap enough for almost anyone to use, that does not encourage antisocial behavior or ruin careers or families, and that will never harm the prudent user. Proof that we need such a drug is that ninety percent of the world's population already uses it. The drug is caffeine, and every aspect imaginable of it is covered in _The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug_ (Routledge) by Bennett Alan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer. If you are at all interested in knowing more about the drug you almost surely use on a daily basis, here's a wealth of information for you.
For instance, why is it that so many plants make caffeine? There's coffee, of course, and tea, and cocoa. Then there's cola nut, maté, and guarana, and yoco, and others you have probably never heard of and which have no commercial value. Caffeine within a plant possesses capacity to kill harmful fungi and bacteria. It can kill weeds around the plant, and bother insects. Pure caffeine is so dangerous to humans that labs which make it have to have ventilation and mask and glove their workers. It is possible to kill yourself with caffeine, but it isn't easy. Drinking a hundred espressos quickly might do it, but getting all that liquid down might present a little difficulty. This dangerous a drug ought to cause some real problems, but other than sleep disturbance, it is really quite seldom that anyone has a difficulty with caffeine. In truth, there have been countless studies of what caffeine does to the body, and virtually no ill effects can be traced to it. We may have made a terrible choice in our other legal mind altering drugs, tobacco and alcohol, but we picked a pretty safe one in caffeine.
Caffeine must do us plenty of good if it is so prevalent, and studies show that it is in many ways a "smart pill" that can help in intellectual effort. This seems to be at least partially independent of its capacity to simply increase alertness. Rather startlingly, it has been shown to make the branches of nerve cells in the brain longer and more numerous, so that there is more potential for the neurons to interconnect. Caffeine is thus the only known substance that augments brain function by changing the brain's physical structure. It may be that governments don't like the idea of caffeine-fired people thinking political thoughts; many governments have made coffeehouses illegal.
History, chemistry, physiology, and economics are tied together in this big, well-illustrated tribute to the world's only unregulated, unlicensed, addictive drug that is available everywhere. Good reading for all addicts.

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
This book rocks! If you drink coffee, tea or cola you need to get
this book. I'm not sure which is more fascinating-- the hundreds of
surprising medical facts about caffeine's effects on the mind and
body, or the astonishing part caffeine has played in culture, art,
religion, society, politics, science and literature.
Caffeine is the
driving force behind the explosion in cafe culture, the drug of the
computer world and the Internet, and necessary part of just about
everybody's daily life. And the authors really know to tell a story
and there are hundreds of great stories from all over the world and
throughout history.
Amazing health facts include that caffeine
actually improves your short term memory and helps you perform certain
mental tasks more quickly and with fewer mistakes. Even more
incredible, that caffeine actually grows new brain cells. The book
also raises some serious warnings about caffeine use in pregnancy, a
risk that has been pretty much overlooked by the FDA.
I would say
that this book gives a unique perspective on understanding history and
modern society as well as offering a wealth of practical information
about how to get the most out of the drug almost all of us are
addicted to.
It also has dozens of illustrations and charts and
wouldn't be a bad gift for the caffeine addict in your life.
4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book,

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
Considering the amount of caffeine everybody consumes all around the globe, it's amazing how little we know about this drug - and how few popular books are written about it.
We know all we need to know.....from personal experience. Or so we think! Probably most of us are addicts without admitting it. And imagine the advantage you can have over everybody else if you limit your intake of this potent drug.
All the cultural background is interesting. I'd be even more grateful if at least one of the authors were medically trained. But they seem to have done their homework, and I applaud their effort. Treat yourself to a nice cup of steaming hot java (preferably de-caff), and sip slowly while you savor this fun book.
Another good book to go with this one: "For God, Country & Coca-Cola" by Mark Pendergrast - all you want to know about the world's favorite sugar water (caffeinated, of course!)
5.0 out of 5 stars Well-researched and entertaining.,

This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
This is great reading! Caffeine is so ubiquitous within society that most of us have never really thought about how or why we use it. In this very comprehensive book, the authors detail the history of coffee, tea, and chocolate. This includes their discovery, cultivation, introduction into various societies around the world, impact on society, opposition efforts and medical implications. The book is written in a very evenhanded tone without a noticeably pro-caffeine or anti-caffeine agenda. It is full of absolutely fascinating historical tidbits. Who knew that coffee replaced beer as the morning beverage in the United States, or that the U.S. Government once brought suit against Coca Cola arguing that the caffeine in the soft drink caused bad behavior in adolescent boys? This book may not motivate you to forgo that morning cup of coffee, but you certainly will stare at it with a bit more insight.
5.0 out of 5 stars The World of Caffeine,
This review is from: The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug (Hardcover)
As a physician I found the information in The World of Caffeine both comprehensive and enlightening. I discovered many facts that I will be passing along to my patients who may not realize how much caffeine they are taking in and all the ways in which it may be affecting them. Caffeine has many potential benefits for the mind and body and a few dangers of which people should be aware. Especially sobering are the discussions of possible deleterious effects on children and a serious warning about the unknown dangers of fetal exposure. Incredibly, this is the first serious book ever written about a drug that is used almost universally. If you are going to use a drug, you should know as much about it as possible. I strongly recommend this book to everyone who uses caffeine-- in coffee, tea, colas, or pills-- and that includes almost everyone.

Before 2009, mayhem ruled the streets of Melbourne. Bandits roamed the alleyways, preying on unsuspecting music lovers with unbridled chaos. It was clear someone needed to clean up the mess. Enter Sheriff. The band got down and dirty with the crims that lined the sticky carpet of Melbourne's pubs and bars. They busted eardrums, they tore shreds from their detractors and they poured sweat onto anyone who got in their way. They released their first, self-titled EP in 2012 with much gusto, and gigged relentlessly. No weeknight was sober enough to withstand the visceral assault that Sheriff gave it; the weekend was no luckier. From the swamp in which they were born, it is time to welcome back the finest purveyors of southern-psychedelic-horror-blues-rock this side of your great granddaddy's graveyard. They might not have been missing for long, but Sheriff have returned to burn your ears out with their latest aural incantation; Roughhouse Hymns. Taking the elements of down-home southern rock'n'roll, and throwing themselves at it with frenetic passion, Sheriff's three members – Jimi, Tom and Callum – have destroyed stages across Melbourne's deviant rock music scene for a few years now, but for those who have born witness to the mayhem, prepare yourselves. You ain't seen nothing like this yet. Roughhouse Hymns is Sheriff's second EP, a rambunctious cacophony of guitar riffs, drum beats and blood-curdling vocals. 6 tracks, each more vicious than the last, are guaranteed to not only rock your socks off, but wrap them around your neck and strangle all but the most critical elements of your soul. Go see their live show. "Sheriff are one of the most talented rock 'n' roll bands in Australia. If you haven't seen them yet, you're missing out. Seriously. They're so good that, without experiencing them live, there is a hole in your life." (Matt Haycroft (very.live magazine) "Sheer chaos was the order of the night with the final act, Sheriff. Exhibiting the 'bad boy blues' of early AC/DC and giving it the musical equivalent of a good kick in the gonads while wearing steel capped boots, Sheriff revelled in their musically tight but wildly unpredictable approach to playing live. – Neil Evans (Tone Deaf.com.au) "For want of a better metaphor, Sheriff are the difference between a meaty stew and a thin broth. Endearing and full of heart, they will leave you with the utmost sense of satisfaction. Unafraid to challenge the stereotype they have created something monstrous, challenging you to ever lose interest, or even try to look away. They'll find you. They are Sheriff after all." Esther Rivers (Inpress magazine) "Remember the good ol' days in Melbourne where the music scene was less about the "scene" and more about the good music? Where a rock and roll punter was happy with a good glass of red wine or tap beer, and not simply the latest designer drink? Remember the days when it wasn't seemingly uncool for people to basically lose their shit over a local pub act? Sheriff, along with their motley crew of support acts and a rocking crowd, brought back fond memories of the vintage rock scene, and (thankfully) proved that this side of the music scene hasn't died completely." Tara Emily (Tone Deaf.com.au)

Imagine being curb stomped, thrown in a bin, piffed down a hill and smashed into a freezing river. This is pretty much what I felt like after listening to Sheriff. What You Want highlights Jimi's killer voice with some incredible and heavy guitar and drum work peaking mid way through the song. A throw back to solid rock this track is beautiful.

Saint Mary's to Recognize Outstanding Senior
Saint Mary's announces Outstanding Senior Award Recipient
Gwen O'Brien
Director of Media Relations
Saint Mary's College
Notre Dame, Ind.
(574) 284-4579
May 5, 2010 (Notre Dame, Ind.)—Every year the Saint Mary's College Alumnae Association Board of Directors presents the Outstanding Senior Award to a member of the senior class who exemplifies the spirit and values of the College. The Board chooses the recipient from nominees submitted by students, faculty and staff. The recipient is known as someone who carries out the beliefs of her faith in daily living and is distinguished by scholarship, leadership, and outstanding dedication to Saint Mary's—as demonstrated through participation in both curricular and extracurricular activities. As the valedictorian represents the mind, and the Lumen Christi Award recipient reflects the soul, the Outstanding Senior embodies the heart of Saint Mary's.
Saint Mary's College is proud to announce the recipient of the Outstanding Senior Award of 2010 is Rachel Eisterhold '10, a communication studies major from Owasso, Oklahoma. She will receive her award at the Alumnae Senior Luncheon on Monday, May 10.
Rachel has demonstrated exceptional dedication to and deep love for Saint Mary's College through her many student leadership roles, including student ambassador, resident advisor, and peer minister.
From day one, Rachel, a Communications Studies major, dove into varying opportunities for learning, community and spiritual growth offered at Saint Mary's. She spent the fall of her sophomore year in Rome where she attended Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican among German-, Italian-, French- and Russian-speaking Christians. That experience gave her a glimpse of Catholicism's universality as a worldwide religion that is practiced in nearly every culture. On her return to campus, Rachel become a peer minister and has led a small faith group, joined the hand bell choir, and assisted with and led bible study groups. She also has held the campus job of Mass coordinator and helped with liturgical ministry at Mass.
Rachel re-discovered her passion for music at Saint Mary's. For the past two years she has played the oboe in the University Concert Band of Notre Dame. She also is an avid member of Saint Mary's Italian Club, where she tutors younger students and holds Italian dinners with Nancy D'Antuono, her Italian professor.
As a student ambassador, Rachel shares her love of Saint Mary's College by leading campus tours for prospective students and their families. She has been a resident advisor ("RA") for the past two years helping first-year students in Le Mans and Regina adjust to their new life away from home by being a ready resource and relationship builder through planned events and activities. Between her classes and her RA responsibilities, Rachel worked this semester as public relations intern in the College's Marketing Communications department, gathering information and writing press releases. Rachel is graduating cum laude.
Right after graduation, Rachel will work as a mentor for Notre Dame Vision, a series of 5-day conferences committed to helping high school students recognize God's call in their lives. By the end of the summer, Rachel hopes to work for a mid-sized to large public relations firm and eventually attend graduate school.
About Saint Mary's College: Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind., is a four-year, Catholic, women's institution offering five bachelor's degrees and more than 30 major areas of study. Saint Mary's College has six nationally accredited academic programs: social work, art, music, teacher education, chemistry and nursing. Saint Mary's College ranks among the nation's top 100 liberal arts colleges in U.S. News & World Report's 2010 annual survey. Founded in 1844, Saint Mary's is a pioneer in the education of women, and is sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Cross.

"Fantastic apartment and a great location for kids"
Great value, the apartment is full of mod cons to make the stay comfortable. Pool is right outside the front of the apartment, so the kids can play safely. Plenty of restaurants on site and nearby.

"Lovely apartment, clean and great for young families"
We really enjoyed our stay at Polaris and this apartment was perfect for us. It is very well maintained and spotless on arrival. There is a good pool within 20 yards of the block and the overall feel is child friendly. Polaris has a decent selection of bars / restaurants but we also took the opportunity to do day trips to Murcia, which is a really nice city with good bars, restaurants and excellent shopping. Overall a good holiday and highly recommended!

Nothing is capable of making you suddenly aware of your mortality more than the moment you realize the music of your youth is now classic rock.
Turkeys aren't the only ones who dread Thanksgiving.
Radiohead have announced that they will cancel a portion of their European tour after their drum technician was killed in a stage collapse in Toronto.
Radiohead had to cancel their show on Saturday after a fatal stage collapse.
They had an outside stage set up in Toronto but it collapsed, killing one of their road crew members and injuring three more
When we last checked in with Jim Carrey, he was declaring his love for Emma Stone in a creepy but hilarious video. So it was probably appropriate that Carrey sung 'Creep,' Radiohead's ode to awkward longing, when he crashed New York City club Arlene's Grocery's Friday karaoke party.


text: The notion that too much branding leads to a loss of credibility isn't always true. Google's viral video, Dear Sophie, is an advertisement for Google Chrome that contained a significant amount of branding for applications like Gmail, YouTube, and Google Maps. According to a survey with more than 900 respondents undertaken by BuzzStream and Fractl, the Google brand gained credibility with the video. However, 86% of the respondents incorrectly identified the brand that was supposed to be the focus of the video. As part of the survey, respondents had to watch the video without seeing the Chrome logo appear at the beginning and end of the video. The Google advertisement had so much variety in terms of branding that it confused viewers, leaving 80% of them thinking that the focus of the video was Gmail. Is this a case of too much branding? Although viewers didn't identify Google's Chrome browser as the focus of the video, it still had a positive impact on the overall perception of the brand.

It started with Tebowing, of course; Tim Tebow now owns a trademark on the kneeling-in-prayer image, as well as the name. Now San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has filed a trademark for "Kaepernicking," a move where you kiss your own (presumably tattooed) bicep in celebration of your overall awesomeness.
[Related: Tattoo artist living his dream with the help of Colin Kaepernick as his canvas]
Kaepernick plans to use the image on T-shirts. As ESPN.com notes, T-shirts made by Sportiqe are already in circulation. Proceeds from those shirts go to Camp Taylor, a charitable organization to help kids with congenital heart defects. So, copyright thieves, if you're using the Kaepernicking image without permission, you're stealing from sick kids. Hope you can live with that.
Of course, the kissing-my-bicep move has been around forever, so Kaepernick will need to be vigilant if he really wants to protect this copyright. Steakhead dudes taking pictures of yourselves in your bathroom mirror: heads up.

Hi, when i select a text and click on the icon, nothing happens!
Maybe since FF29 update!
Edit: 3 May: thx a lot for the fix! ;)
When i click on "im translator" in the contexmenu, a empty window opens!! :-(This review is for a previous version of the add-on (7.1.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Just perfect, thx a lot!! ;)This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.8.2.1-signed).
Hi, i use 7.1 version ( just updated) and when i select a text, i can't see the bubbleicon!!!
I'm on FF 23.0.1 on Win8!
Of course the case is checked!!
Edit: ok, now it works with 'alt' uncheck option and check option another! ;)
Just perfect! ;)
Here a little css, for people who wants to change font and size of it:
* {
font-family: Tahoma, Sans !important;
font-size: 8pt !important;
Did you delete the installed one? it's necessary!I
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5a7v7labykaohd3 .
For FF 20, do the same, delete and reinstall!
And if, like me, you don't like the new download manager, open "about:config" and put "TRUE" to "browser.download.useToolkitUI"
I can't understand why somes give fault appréciations in the comments, of this addon, who is the better to speed FF?!
It's not a spy: he takes anonym datas and you can turn it off in the settings!!
I use it since longtime now and it's the best, in his domain!!
You did a great job!
i really like to have some options, like now!!
THX a lot,
Good idea to associate this site with YouTube, now we can download in 320 kbps, in all simplicity!! :)
It doesn't matter wich color have the button, i think that orange is a good color!!
I mean: orange or red is the color of the recording!
So, now people can have the "Blue" and the "Graphite"!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (10.3). This user has 2 previous reviews of this add-on.
Paskal, i think it's better to edit the .jar, like i did for Foxdie Graphite, like this the theme stay available for an update from the author, with your XPI, stay it in theme or in add-on?This review is for a previous version of the add-on (10.3). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Now, we can see the actual settings and we can choice if we will send anonymous data or not!!
You did a great job! ;)
Cool, but i had prefered if you not touch to the buttons, now all are rectangle!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
THX a lot for this wonderful theme, the more much Mac created for FF!
But it seems that Lion icons are exactly the same than Snow Léopard!!
And so: i can't see a difference between the 2!
Normally, on Lion, the intersection between the two ( back/forw.) buttons is smaller than SL, but here it's the same!?
I use Foxdie 10.3, on FF12, in Win7 x64 ultimate.
Just awesome!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (10.3).
It's great but, to be honnest, i don't like the scrollbar and the caption buttons, don't forget that people who use it have a Mac visual style, so it will better if we can have the same caption buttons and scrollbar than in our visual style!!
Hi, thx a lot for this wonderful extension!
I've a little question: is it not better to deactivate the Firefox anti-tracking, to not send to some sites the same things, 2 times?
BTW: it's incredible, Google Analytics is everywhere! :)
thx mate, it's great! ;)
But i've a question, if i uninstall it, what stay in pref.js, i mean what can we delete with eCleaner extension?
Is it the 2 wips? thx to answer me!
edit: thx to answered me, no i think it let nothing in pref.js!
yes, of course if i will uninstall it, i put default settings before!! But i said: when we open fasterfox lite, we can't see nothing of my settings, so it seems that if we will modified somethings , we need to put another all settings! And so we can't "see/know" what we put before! Maybe i havent totally understand your reponse, but normally: settings can be deleted after the supression of the extension, to evitate truncated things, no? But , yes, maybe it should be cool to see the settings in a .text or .ini!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.9.1Lite.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Simple, modulable...it's perfect!!

Oh yes, those famous bolts - specifically top ones.
I once rode 200 km wandering why vibration increased so much to find that 2 top bolts were totally undone.
Investigation revealed.
1. Suzuki bolts on DR mostly made of plasticine
2. Those 2 bolts were only reason for vibration increase.
Result: bought proper good quality 12.9 grade bolts from Namrick.uk, installed with nyloc nuts + blue loctite.
No problem since.
Actually, come to it - I can list items I've got self-unbolted or lost even on DR.
Self-unbolted, but not lost
1. Top motor mount
2. One of lower mount
3. Sidestand nut
4. Passenger footpegs
Self-unbolted and lost
1. Lower chain protector on swingarm
2. One of front sprocket bolts
3. (drum roll) GEAR LEVER unbolted and lost 300 km from home way back from Norway on German highway. Can only say how great is german motorists - helped me out when I got stuck at fuel station. Bought something similar from nearest Kawi shop, filed, installed, got home. Lost 2 hours.
Never ride out without blue loctite flask

Grooming By J LynnRead MoreJaimie Reeder of Grooming By J Lynn has but one goal: to make each and every dog that sits on her grooming table look beautiful. From her station within Missy Moo's Pet Spa, she treats her furry charges to full pampering sessions, each of which includes a nail trim, ear cleaning, a bath, and a facial. Her facility has no cages, so waiting pups are free to roam. After each session, she outfits her canine clients with either a bow or bandana, depending on their personal preference.139 Newtons Cr RoadHowell, NJ US
Clear Aquarium ServicesRead MoreLeaning on the knowledge he picked up while earning his degree in marine biology, John Spadola of Clear Aquarium Services monitors the cleanliness of aquatic habitats. He ably tends to freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as koi ponds, preserving each as a safe and hospitable environment for aquatic life. Services span the entirety of aquarium and pond ownership, from the design phase to installation and from water delivery to regular feeding—services that are all preceded by a free consultation.305 Dartmouth CourtBrick, NJ US
Camp Bow Wow EatontownRead MoreTwelve years ago, Heidi Ganahl decided to pursue her dream and opened the first Camp Bow Wow in Denver. Camp Bow Wow has now burgeoned into a national franchise with more than 200 locations in 40 states, and her success has earned attention from the likes of CNN Money, CNBC, and various other news outlets. One of the secrets to Heidi's success? Her love of dogs. Born from a desire to provide a safe, healthy place where owners could drop their pets instead of cooping them up at home, each Camp Bow Wow location functions more like an all inclusive kids' summer camp than a depressing kennel. Pooches are free to frolic with each other in indoor play areas and spend their afternoons making fun of the postman's latest haircut, all while their owners watch them on Camper Cam video streams. For overnight visitors, temperature-controlled cabins host beds with fleece blankets, and the camp counselors give each canine camper a campfire treat before putting them to bed. Dogs and owners feel at ease knowing that certified camp counselors, trained in dog behavior and pet first aid, are close at hand.284 Old Deal Rd.Eatontown, NJ US

Here, dog owners wash their pups at the self-service stations, which are stocked to the hilt with all-natural cleansing products, fluffy towels, and grooming tools such as combs and hair dryers. Lizzy, Megan, and the rest of the grooming staff are just an "pardon me" away from dispensing grooming advice if needed, whether it's guiding the owner in holding the hair dryer properly or just repeating "Good boy, good boy" so the owner knows he's done a good job. The staff also gets pups into factory-issue form through services ranging from a simple wash-and-dry to a full grooming package that includes a haircut and nail trim.185 Scotch RoadEwing, NJ US

motorcycle transport
I want to take my bike to Europe this year. Does anyone have any experience shipping with Motorcycle Express from Canada to Germany?
I'm staying 4-5weeks in fall 2013 and than in spring 2014. I considered renting (i know some dealers), but it will be very expensive too. Because of the long time over there,2 mounth, that's why i'm thinking of having my own bike over there.
They make it pretty easy and part of that convenience comes at a cost. That said - you can ship out of Toronto, and be on the same flight as your bike for less than $3k (one way).
2200 can$, Calgary to Munich, for this year.
What about buying then selling? I doubt you would see $2000 depreciation in a month or two.
It is something to think about, but i do like my bike to come with me.
Nice RR on scotland. Last time i was there was 1992.
I haven´t sent across the Atlantic. But usually, when the distance is long enough, LCL (less than container load) seafreight is the cheapest way to send one single bike. There are a few things to remember, though: it is more laborous than letting some company, who offer this service do it for you, you may need to use a crate to pack the bike, and some points of entry to EU these days seem to demand a rather large bond, that is to be returned, when the bike leaves. I´d avoid sending to those places. Costs at the receiving end are also something to be wary of, always, but especially when you freight by sea.
For reference, I payed almost exactly 700 euros total to send my DL650 by sea from Sydney to Helsinki (but it was 5 years ago). This even included the services of a freight agent in Oz. Distance must be longer than US West Coast to Europe. Costs at the receiving end were almost 200 euros of that 700, but it was still cheap. By air would´ve definitely cost me double or triple.
I bet there´s a LOT of sea freight going back and forth across the Atlantic all the time, so you should have plenty of options to choose from. (But I´m not saying this is the easiest option, definitely not).
I did the buy and sell thing for 2 months for a New Zealand trip. Cheapest way to go for sure, but it takes time out of your trip. Took me 2-3 days to buy and another 2-3 days to sell it. You need to make sure you have a good market for selling it or else you'll be hooped.
If you can buy ahead of your trip this will help. Perhaps also try to sell it ahead too.
But its just more logistics to deal with.
Best thing is to steal a bike when you get there, then just dump it when you are done.
Best thing is to steal a bike when you get there, then just dump it when you are done.[/QUOTE]
I'm looking over my shoulder a lot already, now i woudn't be looking ahead at all.
Yes, there are possible pitfalls. But airfreight isn´t completely free of those, either. When someone (like Motorcycle Express) offers this kind of service, they handle the paperwork, but always do it for a fee, naturally. If you do it yourself, you might save a bit, no matter if you send by air or by sea. But then you have to do your homework really well (and for air, you´ll need a Dangerous Goods-document from somebody, who´s certified to issue it, so that one you can´t DIY). I think, however, that US <-> Europe is not the most complicated region in the world to send something.
I'm shipping my bike through Stefan Knopf at Knopf tours here in March. I believe quite a few other people have shipped through him before. He has been more than helpful over the phone and by email already. I am paying 1300 to go from Florida to Germany and that price includes all the custom fees and insurance. So I should just be able to show up and ride off which will be nice.
The container is shipping over in March if you want to see if theres room, just gotta get the bike to florida first.
