There are many tools for converting repositories between version-control systems out there. This file explains why reposurgeon is the best of breed by comparing it to the competition.
The problems other repository-translation tools have come from ontological mismatches between their source and target systems - models of changesets, branching and tagging can differ in complicated ways. While these gaps can often be bridged by careful analysis, the techniques for doing so are algorithmically complex, difficult to test, and have ugly edge cases.
Furthermore, doing a really high-quality translation often requires human judgment about how to move artifacts - and what to discard. But most lifting tools are, unlike reposurgeon, designed as run-it-once batch processors that can only implement simple and mechanical rules.
Consequently, most repository-translation tools evade the harder problems. They produce a sort of pidgin rendering that crudely and partially copies the history from the source system to the target without fully translating it into native idioms, leaving behind metadata that would take more effort to move over or leaving it in the native format for the source system.
But pidgin repository translations are a kind of friction drag on future development, and are just plain unpleasant to use. So instead of evading the hard problems, reposurgeon provides a power assist for a human to tackle them head-on.
Here are some specific symptoms of evasion that are common enough to deserve tags for later reference.
LINEAR: One very common form of evasion is only handling linear histories.
NO_IGNORES: There are many different mechanisms for ignoring files - .cvsignore, Subversion svn:ignore properties, .gitignore and their analogues. Many older Subversion repositories still have .cvsignore files in them as relics of CVS prehistory that weren't translated when the repository was lifted. Reposurgeon, on the other hand, knows these can be changed to .gitignore files and does it.
NO_TAGS: Many repository translators cannot generate annotated tags (or their non-git equivalents) even when that would be the right abstraction in the target system.
CONFIGURATION: Another common failing is for repository-translation tools to require a lot of configuration and ceremony before they can operate. Often, for example, tools that translate from Subversion repositories require you to declare the repository's branch structure every time even though sensible defaults and a bit of autodetection could have avoided this.
MIXEDBRANCH: Yet another case usually handled poorly (in translators that handle branching) is mixed-branch commits. In Subversion it is possible (though a bad idea) to commit a changeset that modifies multiple branches at once. All sufficiently old Subversion repositories have these, often by accident. The proper thing to do is split these up; the usual thing is to assign them to one branch and leave them omitted from the others.
Version references in commit comments. It is not uncommon to see a lot of references that are no longer usable embedded in translated repositories like fossils in geological strata - file-version numbers like 1.2 in Subversion repos that had a former life in CVS, Subversion references like r1234 in git repositories, and so forth. There's no tag for this because tools other than reposurgeon generally have no support at all for lifting these.
Problems with specific tools
To avoid repetitive text in these descriptions, I use the following additional bug tags:
CONFIGURATION: Requires elaborate configuration even for cases that ought to be simple.
ABANDONED: Effectively abandoned by its maintainer. Some tools with this tag are still nominally maintained but have not been updated or released in years.
NO_DOCUMENTATION: Poorly (if at all) documented.
!FOO means the tool is known not to have problem FOO.
?FOO means I have not tried the tool but have strong reason to suspect the problem is present based on other things I know about it.
You should assume that none of these tools do reference-lifting.
Just after the turn of the 21st century, when Subversion was the new thing in version control, most projects that were using version control were using CVS, and cvs2svn was about the only migration path.
Early cvs2svn had problems on every level, only some of which have been fixed by more recent releases. It tended to spew junk commits into the translated history, and produced strange combinations of Subversion internal operations that most later translation tools would cope with only poorly. Sometimes the resulting translations are actually malformed; more often they contains noisy commits or commit duplications that made little sense under Subversion and make even less under the new target system.
Formerly named parsecvs. Originally written by Keith Packard to port the X.org repositories, which it did a good job on. Now maintained by me; reposurgeon uses it to read CVS repositories. It is extremely fast and can thus be productively used even on huge repositories.
Don't use this. Just plain don't. I maintained version 3.x until I end-of-lifed it in favor of cvs-fast-export due to fundamental, unfixable problems. It gets branch topology wrong in ways that are difficult to detect.
git-svn, the Subversion converter in the git distribution, is really designed to be a two-way live gateway enabling git users to push and pull commits from a Subversion server. It operates by creating a git repository that is effectively a local mirror of the Subversion history, then performing Subversion client commands to synchronize the two in a git-like way.
This choice of mission means that git-svn's translation of history into git uses a compromise between Subversion idioms and git ones that is more designed to make transactions back to the Subversion server easy and safe to generate than it is to make full use of the git capabilities that Subversion doesn't have. This is pidgin translation for a reason better than laziness or failure of nerve, but it's still pidgin.
Worse, git-svn has bugs that severely compromise it for full translations. It tends to stumble over common repository malformations in Subversion, producing history damage that is significant but evades superficial scrutiny. I have written about this problem in detail at Don't do svn-to-git repository conversions with git-svn!
For a straight linear history with no tags or branches, the difference between git-svn's Subversion-emulating behavior and the way a git repository would most naturally be structured is minimal. But for conformability with Subversion, git-svn cannot (practically speaking) use git's annotated-tag facility in the local mirror; instead, Subversion tags have to be represented in the local mirror as git branches even if they have no changes after the initial branch copy.
Another thing the live-gatewaying use case prevents is reference-lifting. Subversion references like "r1234" in commit comments have to be left as-is to avoid creating pain for users of the same Subversion remote not going through git-svn.
Formerly part of the git suite; what they had before git-svn, and inferior to it. Among other problems, it can only handle Subversion repos with a "standard" trunk/tags/branches layout. Now deprecated.
A trivial wrapper around git-svn.
svn-fe was a valiant effort to produce a tool that would dump a Subversion repository history as a git fast-import stream. It made it into the git contrib directory and lingers there still.
Tailor aimed to be an any-to-any repository translator.
This is a Subversion-to-git tool that was written to handle some cases that git-svn barfs on (but reposurgeon doesn't - the reposurgeon test suite contains a case sent by agito's author to check this). It even handles mixed-branch commits correctly.
If you cannot use reposurgeon for some reason, this is one of the best alternatives.
svn2git (jcoglan/nirvdrum version)
A batch-conversion wrapper around git-svn that creates real tag objects. This is the one written in Ruby.
If you cannot use reposurgeon for some reason, this is another alternative that is not too horrible. But beware of possible history namage if your Subversion repo has malformations that confuse git-svn.
svn2git (Schemenauer version)
Native Python. More a proof of concept than a production tool.
svn2git (Nyblom version)
Written in C++. Says it's based on svn-fast-export by Chris Lee. Not easy to figure out what it actually does, as there is no documentation at all and no test cases. May be genetically related to svn-all-fast-export, but if so they diverged in 2008.
Written in C. More a proof of concept than a production tool.
Written in C. Documentation is so lacking that there isn't even a README. However, it's possible to deduce what isn't there by reading the code.
May be genetically related to the Nyblom svn2git, but if so they diverged in 2008.
reposurgeon success stories
reposurgeon has been used for successful conversion on projects including but not limited to the following. These are in rough chronological order.
- Hercules (IBM mainframe emulator)
I did this one, Subversion to hg. About ten years of history at the time, not too horribly messy.
- NUT (Network UPS Tools)
I did this one, Subversion to git. The trial by fire - it was when the Subversion dump analyzer got built. Very large old repository with lots of pathologies (there was a CVS stratum).
- Battle For Wesnoth
I did this one, Subversion to git. Very large repo, moderately complex.
- Roundup (issue tracker)
I did this one, Subversion to git (they later switched to hg). Moderate-sized Subversion repo with some very strange malformations.
- robotfindskitten
I did this one, CVS to git. Simple history, pretty easy.
- Blender
Two guys at Blender did this one with help from me, Subversion to git. Huge repository with a lot of nasty pathologies. The tool needed some serious optimization and feature upgrades to handle it.
- groff
I did this one, CVS to git. Rather easy as the project history was almost linear and, though very old, not huge.
- Nethack
CVS to git. This conversion has not yet been publicly released at time of writing (late October 2014) for complicated political reasons.
- Emacs
A record three layers, Bazaar over CVS over RCS. Malformations not too bad except for some unique challenges created by the RCS-to-CVS conversion, but the sheer size of the history and number of layers makes it the most complex conversion yet.
- ntp
I did BitKeeper to git using a derivative of Tridge's SourcePuller as a front end, done in early 2015. Nothing especially taxing about the reposurgeon side of things, the magic was all in the front end.
- pdfrw, playtag, pyeda, rson
Four small Subversion projects by Patrick Maupin, converted in two hours' work in May 2015. No significant difficulties. These mainly served to demonstrate that the standard conversion workflow in conversion.mk is fast and effective for a wide range of projects.

Guns Don't Create Terrorists
The absurd battle to use terror to further the anti-Second Amendment agenda.
1:49 PM, May 7, 2010 • By DANIEL HALPER
Mayor Mike is coming for your guns, but not even this administration -- and this Congress -- is naive enough to play along. Bloomberg appealed to Congress this week to address what is oddly being called the "terror gap," but which supporters of Second Amendment rights better describe as "secret government lists." The question is this: Should U.S. citizens on terror watch lists be allowed to purchase firearms? The answer from Congress is yes (though the Huffington Post and the New York Times would have you believe it's just Republicans obstructing Bloomberg's "common sense" proposal).
There are as many as one million names on the government's various no-fly lists and terror watch lists. (The list has even included such notables as the late Massachusetts Senator Teddy Kennedy.) But the government is only very good at keeping lists of people that owe it money. For any number of reasons it seems completely incapable of maintaining an effective list of possible terrorists. But for Americans concerned about their right to keep and bear arms, of whom there are many, this issue is a non-starter. The government has never been allowed to maintain a list of firearms purchases for fear that such a list might ultimately be used to seize those weapons (the government must destroy all background checks after 24 hours under current law). Gun owners don't trust the government to keep lists, and they certainly don't trust the government to keep a secret list of people who can't buy firearms.
Naturally, the NRA is stoking opposition to legislation (S. 1317) that would implement such a ban -- and they're having some success. Harry Reid is counting on NRA support in a tough reelection fight in Nevada. There's a better chance of Obama making a new push for offshore drilling this year than there is of Harry Reid taking up gun control legislation on behalf of Mayor Mike.
And in any case, the only clamor for this legislation is from gun control groups who haven't had a serious legislative victory in over a decade. Just a few weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi was prepared to move legislation granting D.C. a vote in the House on the condition that nearly every gun control measure in the District be repealed. The D.C. City Council balked at the last minute and the Democrats pulled the bill. Last week Senators McCain and Tester introduced the same bill in the Senate -- and they'll likely attach it to the financial reform bill, and any other bill that comes down the pike after that.
Democrats didn't have the stomach to fight on this issue when they were at the peak of their power last spring (when Attorney General Eric Holder threatened to push a new assault weapons ban last year, 65 House Dems signed a letter informing him that no such measure would be considered -- 65!). They certainly aren't going to take on the gun owners of America six months out from the midterm elections.

Designed By Leslie Blatt
Felt Slipper Pattern: Sole
Felt Slipper Pattern: Upper
NOTE: You will need FOUR 12" x 12" pieces of wool felt to make one pair of slippers. The shopping list shows materials we used to make both pairs of slippers.
1. Download then print out the patterns, enlarging or reducing according to your size needs. The pattern at 100% is designed for a size 8 women's shoe. Also, download the Embroidery Stitches Guide.2. Iron the rolls of flat felt before cutting out the patterns. This makes it easier to use. Apply double-sided tape to the back of your patterns so that they stick to the wool felt and make it easier to cut them out.3. For each pair of slippers, cut 2 sets of pattern pieces from the sheets of flat felt. Cut the 2 lines on the soles and the T slit on the slipper uppers.4. Place the slipper upper and sole on top of each other. Remember that for a pair, the slippers need to be mirror images of each other.5. Using an overcasting stitch and all 6 ply of a matching embroidery thread, join the upper and sole of each slipper. Stitch from the back at one side, up around the big toe, and down the other side, leaving the back open. 6. Stitch the back of the slipper as follows. Fold the slipper in half at the upper T slit, matching the top edges of the slipper back. Overcast the edges starting at the top and stitching down to the 2 slits you cut on the sole. Knot your thread and trim the end.
You should have a little square flap at the bottom base of the slipper. Fold this flap up overlapping the seam you just stitched, and sew around the 3 cut sides using 6 ply embroidery thread.
7. Turn your slipper right side out. The flap you just sewed will now be on the inside bottom of the slipper.8. Embellishments: If you choose the embroidered cuff, it will be easiest to do the embroidery prior to assembly of the cuff on the slipper. Refer to the pattern, photos, and stitch diagrams as guides for what we did.
If you prefer to do the needle felted embellishment on the top of the slipper, insert the foam block inside the slipper, then work the roving colors as shown. Add hot fix gems for a stylish sparkle! You can add the same effect to a corner of the cuff.
9. Adding the Cuffs: Place the cuff inside the slipper with the right side of the cuff facing the wrong side of the slipper. Align the straight edge of the cuff and the front edge of the slipper opening. Make sure the cuff lines up with the end of the notches. Overcast the straight edges together. Turn the cuff to the outside and flatten against the top of the slipper.10. Work a buttonhole stitch around the outer edge of the cuff through the top of the slipper to hold it in place.

AUGUSTA, GA (Jan. 6, 2011) Community activist and former journalist Laurie Ott has been named Vice President of Development for University Health Care System and President of University Health Care Foundation, the system's fundraising arm.
Ms. Ott succeeds Pete Brodie, who announced his retirement last year. Mr. Brodie participated in the selection process, and will remain with the Foundation through May to assist in the transition.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to serve the region's leading health care system, while growing partnerships and relationships that will benefit the entire community," Ms. Ott said. "I look forward to working with the management and staff of University Health Care System, supporting their efforts in delivering state-of-the-art patient care to the entire Augusta region."

Mary Geoghegan's account (The Tablet, 28 June) of an authoritarian and unresponsive parish priest applies to many parishes and, as she rightly says, such an attitude goes contrary to the spirit and teaching of Vatican II. The difficulty that bishops have in remedying such situations is because of canon law which legitimises any parish priest's absolute rule over his parish. This was pointed out in an instructive article by Fr Paul Hypher entitled Authority in the Parish, published in Priests and People, August-September 1997. The article shows how canon law attempts to juxtapose absolute rule for the priest with the baptismal rights and responsibilities of lay parishioners, and adds: "These two positions are frankly contradictory and the Code seems to be blind to the consequences of having such an inbuilt imbalance between the juridical rights of the priest on the one hand and the obligations with no juridical status attached which belong to the laity on the other."
The English and Welsh bishops did, nevertheless, meet their obligations to Vatican II in 1995 with their powerful and inspiring document The Sign we Give which encourages parishes to develop collaborative ministry, rooted in Vatican II's baptismal theology, as the model for parish life and mission. This approach challenges the priest to enable communion to grow rather than "to run the parish" and emphasises that "it is through the quality of relationships that he will most effectively invite people to make full use of their gifts and energy in ministries and other activities."
The document may have had a mixed response when first published but is enjoying a genuine renewal of interest and appreciation now (and is still in print). In my diocese the local branch of A Call to Action has made the promoting of The Sign we Give and collaborative ministry its chief aim. Mary Geoghan's desire for lay parishioners to play full roles in parish life and mission is what collaborative ministry is designed to bring about.
Michael O'Shea, Storrington, West Sussex
Parish priests are unaccountable. A bishop once explained to me that it is the prerogative of the bishop to appoint parish priests but once appointed they are not subject to detailed day to day scrutiny. The bishop sets down policies for the parishes of the diocese and carries out regular visitations of the parishes but within those bounds each parish priest must decide for himself what the priorities of his parish will be.
The Church is made up of millions but only a small percentage is priests. These priests have given up much in order to serve the Church but it does not make them infallible in all parish matters and yet most are dictators. Their training must be faulty as the vast majority believe the laity to be either wolves or brainless sheep desperately in need of priestly guidance and authority. True, the laity needs guidance but so too do the priests - we all need each other. I have lived in nine English and 12 overseas parishes. In all that time I have only encountered one priest who truly listened to his parishioners.
Priests are afraid of their flocks. But priests take heart: your parishioners are not all wolves in sheep's clothing.
David Cairns, York
Mary Geoghegan wrote about parish clergy's and bishops' responsibilities towards the application of Vatican-II's recommendations. I'm unaware of any Council precept to marginalize the tabernacle (and consequently relegate the Real Presence), the reversal of which by her parish priest appears to cause her consternation.
As a committed "Vatican II Catholic", I'm sure Mrs Geoghegan is aware that the first Council document (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 1963) stipulates that "The use of the Latin language must be preserved in the Latin rites" (article 36); that "steps are to be taken to ensure that the faithful are able to say and sing... the Ordinary of the Mass" (art. 54); and that: "Gregorian Chant should be given pride of place in liturgical functions" (art. 116). In their zeal to realize the Council's vision, may I assume that she and her fellow parishioners have ensured that these prescriptions of Sacrosanctum Concilium are provided for in their parish liturgies, with the aquiescence of their priest? If so, it seems to me that, liturgically at least, fidelity to Vatican II is assured.
Regarding the perceived passivity of the bishop over her priest's admittedly unusual decisions vis-á-vis the rôle of the laity in parish life: has it occurred to Mrs Geoghegan that, in the circumstances of that parish, at that time, he might conceiveably have been acting with the support of his diocesan Ordinary?
Peter Mahoney, Hertford
Thirty years ago I lived in a West London parish where our senior priest insisted on the title Team Leader, which was inconvenient for me at the time I was applying for positions in Catholic schools that insisted upon a reference from the parish priest. Our Team Leader certainly lived his team ideals and involved his fellow clergy, full time catechist and parish council in all major decision making.
When the time came for him to move his successor immediately defined himself in newsletters and elsewhere as parish priest. I distinctly remember pointing this out to his fellow clergy who assured me that this was merely a change in title. It was not very long before they noticed a major change in vision of church and decision making processes and their dismay was plain for parishioners to see.
Not long after this, in a leadership role of a joint Catholic and Church of England school, I became aware of a very different way of doing things. When the local Church of England parish church wardens interviewed prospective rectors the school leadership was given a voice in the selection process and thus guaranteed some continuity in mission direction in both parish and school.
I found this all the more amazing in that my next major encounter with significant clergy changes was when former Church of England priests were given charge of Catholic parishes and were often unwilling to involve parish councils in pastoral ministry.
Quite recently in Kerry I attended a powerful and empowering 20 session training course for members of parish pastoral councils. Perhaps the most worrying message I took from the course was that parish pastoral councils are suspended whenever there is an interregnum between parish priests. It struck me that, in Church of England fashion, this is exactly the time when a vibrant pastoral council should be most active in the Lord's work.
What is so different between my past experiences and present reality is that today bishops have little or no personnel choice when it comes to filling clergy vacancies.
Alan Whelan, Beaufort, Co. Kerry
In The Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis speaks about the role of the bishop:
"The bishop must always foster this missionary communion in his diocesan church, following the ideal of the first Christian communities, in which the believers were of one heart and one soul (cf. Acts 4:32). To do so, he will sometimes go before his people, pointing the way and keeping their hope vibrant. At other times, he will simply be in their midst with his unassuming and merciful presence. At yet other times, he will have to walk after them, helping those who lag behind and – above all – allowing the flock to strike out on new paths. In his mission of fostering a dynamic, open and missionary communion, he will have to encourage and develop the means of participation proposed in the Code of Canon Law, [34] and other forms of pastoral dialogue, out of a desire to listen to everyone and not simply to those who would tell him what he would like to hear. Yet the principal aim of these participatory processes should not be ecclesiastical organization but rather the missionary aspiration of reaching everyone."
The sections of Canon Law to which the footnote relates refer to a number of church structures including Diocesan Synods, the College of Priests as well as to Diocesan and Parish Pastoral Councils. Since I assume our bishops are accountable to the Pope, I look forward to hearing our Bishops' Conference endorse his exhortation and to seeing them actively work to ensure these or similar "means of participation" are put in place where they do not currently exist at diocesan or parish level.

Alan, no, not hard to believe. 40+ years ago I was a student at The City University in Islington who regularly visited the Catholic Chaplaincy in Gower Street when Bruce Kent was senior chaplain. It was a time when I was inspired to explore the opportunities that Vatican 2 was offering to lay people. It was a time when there was, in East London, the wonderful bishop Victor Guazelli as well as priests and a cardinal archbishop who were happy to work with the laity and welcomed their input and involvement. For over 40 years, the inspiration I received from those people has kept me involved in parish life. In my parish, I am happy to say, we have a 'Parish Team' that has continued with 3 successive parish priests; all of whom have welcomed its input. What I find sad today is that 'A Call to Action' (ACTA) groups in dioceses across the country find it necessary to have a mission statement calling for "an atmosphere of openness and dialogue with each other and with our bishops" and of creating "a climate of respect for all where such a dialogue may be fostered". As I said in my letter, I hope that our bishops will heed Pope Francis' exhortation and, in all our dioceses, return to such dialogue and consultation using the structures set out in Canon Law. That is the hope of the ACTA group in Westminster even though it has seemed a one-sided dialogue.
Steve, Hard perhaps to believe but just over forty years ago I was London University parish representative at a Westminster Diocesan Pastoral Council where topics such as contraception, lay involvement, catholic education, etc, were all hot topics. These annual meetings of lively parish representatives were chaired by lay person Bernard Bligh, from Hemel Hempstead. Cardinal Heenan and Bishop Butler were in attendance and there was a great sense of optimism that we were together involved in the work of The Lord.
These meetings were not just talk shops and among the very positive outcomes were the formation under Cardinal Hume of new diocesan structures such as five pastoral areas and the a widely representative and very much enhanced Education Commission presided over by Bishop David Konstant. The raising of age of Confirmation and it's clearer identification with parishes and families rather than schools was another very positive outcome of these meaningful engagements of clergy and laity.
As a People of God we have everything to gain from a reintroduction of genuine representative diocesan pastoral councils in those dioceses where they have fallen into abeyance.

- For the reissuing of print material see Reprint
A reissue (also known as a re-release or re-edition) is the repeated issue of a published work. In common usage, it refers to an album which has been released at least once before and is released again, sometimes with alterations or additions.
Reasons for reissue[edit]
New audio formats[edit]
Recordings originally released in an audio format that has become technologically or commercially obsolete are reissued in new formats. For example, thousands of original vinyl albums have been reissued on CDs since introduction of that format in the early 1980s. More recently, many albums originally released on CD or earlier formats have been reissued on SACD or DVD-Audio.
Budget records[edit]
Beginning with Pickwick Records, which acquired the rights to reissue many of Capitol Records' non-current albums at a low price in venues other than record stores, several record companies started "budget" or "drugstore records" subsidiaries to sell their deleted items at lower prices.
New ownership[edit]
When one record label buys out another record label or acquires an individual recording artist's back catalogue, their albums are often reissued on the purchasing label. For example, Polydor Records reissued many of James Brown's albums which were originally released on his former label, King Records. King Records had itself previously reissued albums and singles by Brown that were originally recorded for its subsidiary label, Federal Records.
Strong or weak sales[edit]
Recordings are reissued to meet continuing demand for an album that continues to be popular after its original release. In other cases, albums are reissued to create interest in and hopefully revive the sales of a release which has sold poorly. For example, the heavy metal label Roadrunner Records is notorious for reissuing their artist's works' only months after releasing the original album. According to US music magazine Billboard, reissues target "casual consumers who hadn't picked up the album when it was originally released, as well as obsessives who need to own every song in an artist's catalog."[1]
Special, Limited and Commemorative Editions[edit]
Some recordings are reissued to celebrate their popularity, influence, or an anniversary of the artist or the recording.
Track controversy and revisionism[edit]
Some recordings are reissued soon after their original release because one of the tracks was seen in a negative light. Cop Killer by Body Count was one such example.
Some recordings are remixed and reissued in an effort to erase prior band member's contributions. Two such examples were Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman.[2][3]
Common additions to reissued albums include:
- Audio remastering
- Inclusion of bonus tracks or multimedia content
- New liner notes
- New album art or packaging
- Modifiers in the title such as "Special Edition" or "Expanded Version"
Reissues and certification[edit]
For the purposes of quantifying sales, an album's original and subsequent releases are counted together. For example, if an album sold 300,000 of its original release and 700,000 in subsequent reissues, it would be entitled to platinum certification. However, the musical contents of the disc must remain the same on a reissue for it to count towards certification.[citation needed]
Reissue labels[edit]
Some record labels specialize in reissuing recordings originally released on other labels. Three of the biggest reissue labels are Rhino Records, Hip-O Records, and Legacy Recordings. Each of these companies reissues material from the labels of a major music conglomerate: Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Sony BMG, respectively. Collectables Records is another prolific reissue label that licenses recordings from other labels.
The term also refers to a new release of a classic motion picture (not to be confused with a remake, which is an all-new production of a film with a new cast). Reissues of older films were frequent before the days of television, videocassette, and DVD. Walt Disney Studios stands out as the film company which has re-released their older films more often than any other studio—up to their appearance on DVD, nearly all of the Disney full-length films were reissued to theatres on the average of once every seven years, even after they had appeared on videocassette.[citation needed] Gone with the Wind (1939) is another example of a film which has been reissued many times before being shown on television. A growing trend is for movie studios to re-release films in theaters converted to 3D or IMAX: notable examples include The Lion King, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Titanic. Other examples include films' being re-released in time for certain anniversaries; Lawrence of Arabia was given a limited re-release in 2012, fully remastered in 4K for its 50th anniversary, and Jurassic Park was re-released on April 5, 2013 in 3D and IMAX 3D for its 20th anniversary.
VHS tapes were re-released for years. One called Wiggledance! (Live in Concert) by The Wiggles was re-released in 1998, the same year after the original one was awarded. It wasn't even released on DVD.

Inspector linked to fatal Philly collapse commits suicide
PHILADELPHIA — A veteran Philadelphia building inspector who apparently committed suicide had inspected the site of a deadly building collapse twice in February and an adjacent, related project in mid-May.
The June 5 collapse killed six people when a four-story building tumbled onto a small thrift shop. The demolition site consisted of three attached buildings.
City records show that Ronald Wagenhoffer inspected the site before work began on Feb. 12 and again on Feb. 25, after it got underway. He returned to the strip of attached storefronts on May 14 after a citizen complained about the demolition being conducted at the building next door to the one that collapsed. Wagenhoffer found the complaint unfounded.
Mayor Michael Nutter called the death Wednesday of 52-year-old Wagenhoffer "astounding" and "painful."
"We had six people who died in the building collapse, and now we've had another person perish because of this particular tragedy," Nutter said in Chicago, where he was attending a conference Thursday. "This was just astounding to find this out."

Here's your delicious A-list of PacSun clothing and 3 superficial quests that the company dominates has affirmed on.
PacSun store originates from the term Pacific Sunwear and is a leading US retail company emphasizing on the younger generations and fashion sense of the Southern part of California. Remember the song It Never Rains in California, well, very much to its name; PacSun outfits demonstrate an endless Summer time to its customers, where the summer sun continues to adorn on us with its warm comfortable heat.
With a humble beginning, PacSun operated in the 1980s and had sold swim suits, t-shirts and shorts until it merged to become a more solid form of retailing company. Its progress over the years had become the talk of the town and today, the company has obtained a positive stance in the public eyes.
3 PacSun Clothing Outward Pursuits
PacSun is all out to promote the greater sense in summer fashion and has seen a tremendous growth over the years, mushrooming the retail industry with its essence of strength.
- We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the Sun..sea, sand and beach! The PacSun outlets promote sweatshirts, jeans, and accessories that are often associated with the skateboarding culture very much like the sk8ter boy style in Avril Lavign's song. The more popular clothing brands sold at the store include Alpinestars, Billabong, Bullhead, Circa, Metal Mulisha, Dakine, DC Shoes, DCMA Collective, Electric, Element, Hurley, éS, Ezekiel, Fox, O'Neill, Quiksilver, and Volcom. It also has its own brand called Vurt. These names ring a bell in the hip beach-like fashion attire that leave customers swarming in to get the better of the brands mentioned. Reputable labels such as these have taken a long stride to reach where they stand today, thus PacSun has remarkably stands as one of the leaders of profound icons.
- HoT SUn, HOt SuN, HOT SUN 365 days! Driving the chariot of the sun across the sky everyday to earth-circling Oceanus and back to the East in the night through the world-ocean, Helios, the handsome God crowned with the incandescent aureole of the sun, has benefited the human kind over the years, so has PacSun clothing store and its prophecies. As they developed, their focus has ever since remained true to the customers' satisfaction, staying true to its roots in youth culture and offering what's next now. The verse indicates their unbreakable spirit to provide the latest trends for our youth who will become the torchbearers of the world someday. Its beach-like products also reminds the youths the importance of staying healthy and looking ravishingly good. So instead of looking like a prince in glistening armor, one can also be a prince charming in PacSun's many prolific brands' Ts.
- We're the champions; No time for losers. Donning its many athletic and sporty brands will give us the team spirit we require when we hang out with our bunch of close mates. PacSun attire that we wear as a group can also portray a sort of team-like spirit within the clan. After all, winning is not everything, and there will be the next champion's league to look forward to. The extraordinary shopping ambiance will revitalize the whole new shopping experience for the gang, sharing in particular a certain amount of manhood outlook when it dotes on the term 'shopping'. Plus, being a neutral party (wearing PacSun's) stirs us clear from trouble from the opposing team. A sore loser is not something we should portray from a team's spirit but to spite the rivalry amongst team players is a big no-no as well.
Where Can I Find PacSun Clothing Store?

Their online website also caters for shipping purposes and the item will be delivered right to your doorsteps.

Carrying signs saying ?God Hates Self-Righteous Fanatics? and ?At Least Satan Has Good Taste In Music?, members of the heavy metal rock band Slayer today camped outside the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas waiting to protest the funeral of WBC leader Fred Phelps. An outspoken critic of people of other races, homosexuality, heavy metal and pasteurized milk, Phelps passed away earlier today after suffering a severe heart attack when informed that Ellen DeGeneres had a popular television talk show. He was 84.
Animosity between Slayer and Westboro has been mounting since Phelps threatened to picket the funeral of Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman last year. Phelps, who fronted a Carnivore cover band known as ?Jesus Hitler? back in the early 90′s, felt that beyond being a group of unwashed heathens, Slayer simply weren?t very good anymore. ?They have profaned the name of Christ! That is obvious. But worse, they really haven?t recorded anything worth listening to since Divine Intervention!? said Phelps in a fiery sermon 3 months ago.
Phelps? death has sent shockwaves through the Bigot community. Several Bigots across America have planned candlelight vigils to mourn the death of the man that some have called ?The Godfather of Modern Bigotry?. His passing has also saddened many closeted Bigots who are now unable able to shake their heads at Phelps? antics while masking their own hatred in the form of polished and coded political expressions.
Bigots across the world have lost a hero to their cause. ?He was our Harvey Milk,? said teary-eyed Westboro member Harvey Atwater as he heard the news. ?Our President is from Kenya, it?s legal for a donkey to marry a man in most states, and Satan himself is running half of the major television networks as well as the Internet. America is going to Hell in a handbasket and our greatest leader has fallen. This is a dark day for this great nation.?

Posts Tagged 'KAWS'
Supertouch buddy KAWS has just dropped a quick sneek peek of the installation of his eponymous new show of three large paintings in Madrid, Spain, at the esteemed GALERIA JAVIER LOPEZ opening February 17th (to coincide with the kickoff of ARCO Madrid). This show comes as a brief preview for what's to come at the artist's upcoming first ever museum show at THE ALDRICH MUSEUM opening June 2th. Meanwhile, here's what the gallery has to say about the Jersey boy:
"The three monochromatic paintings in this exhibition mark the newest works on canvas by the artist, each using gloss line on a matte background. The two black works, "Nightime Office" and "Through the Door", reuse the artist's signature Kawsbob and Chum characters. Inserting them into claustrophobic compositions, these figures violently break through architectonic frameworks into the space of the viewer, pulling shattered material with them.
The largest work in the show, "Dead Wrong", builds upon the rectilinear sections of the other works, yet combines both characters. Here, space becomes disjointed, conveying a stronger sense of collaged imagery. The fragmentation suggests a recombining and reconfiguration of separate paintings into an overall visual assault. A diminutive set of Kawsbob's hands seem to pull the fabric of the canvas itself to cover his eyes from something imminent. The graphic Chum looms ominously in the background, rendered flat yet threatening.
By augmenting imagery whose origins are innocuous, Kaws subverts popular culture and presents a vision of panic and anxiety. Incorporating his signature "X"ed out eyes, the figures become premonitions of their own deaths, merging childlike imagery with abstract concept. High art strategies and popular icons become interchangeable. KAWS' paintings at once recognize the way that popular images inseminate our lives and suggest the collapse of visual culture."
Supertouch buddy KAWS checks in with a visual update on ROSSON CROW's incredible solo show "Focus" at the FORT WORTH MODERN that opened on Saturday nite. Hailing from Plano, Texas, the red Corvette driving LA-based bad girl of the art world is one of the most incredible young talents on the scene who kicked ass and took names with her first solo museum show in her home state of Lone Star. The big show features a small collection of large scale works that were quickly upstaged by the Texas Rose herself who showed up at the opening decked out in a red, white, and blue sequined showgirl's outfit, exuding state pride right down to her Texas flag manicure. The DALLAS MORNING NEWS took rightful notice:
"Rosson Crow is having one of life's sweetest moments, and she may be too young to fully appreciate it. Just three years out of Yale's master's program, the 26-year-old has moved from gallery level to museum soloist with her "Focus" show, which opened Sunday at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
This great career leap forward is happening only a few miles from her hometown of Plano, where she was known as Lauren. She became her more androgynous middle name when she launched her life as an artist ... The high-glamour Crow is visually at odds with her large-scale paintings of defunct saloons, taxidermy shops and seedy nightclubs. She likes dark, raucous spaces that have a history, and she combs through archival photographs and American history books for inspirational images. She has incorporated photographs of Abraham Lincoln's funeral cortège and the New York Stock Exchange at the turn of the century in her work." Click HERE to read more.

...and it hits stands Monday, March 2nd. Don't sleep.
KAWS' street hits were the freshest on the block back in '97 when an incredibly young-looking Brian Donnelley was getting busy on the billboards and bus stops of NYC and Tokyo on the regular. Here we see some rare footage of the youthful media manipulator on the go with commentary by fellow bomber RON ENGLISH...
KAWS' anxiously anticipated new show "The Long Way Home," opened its doors to an absolutely massive crowd at HONOR FRASER gallery in LA last nite, with a queue that wrapped entirely around the block (and then some) for the duration of the frenzied two-hour opening. KAWS' incredibly well behaved legion of faithful followers did their best to make the Brooklyn-based artist feel welcome in his first west coast solo exhibition that featured new paintings (the largest of which went to collector and Supertouch buddy Lance Armstrong), sculptures, a 20" solid bronze Chum figure and a new series of "Kurfs" and Spongebob package paintings that were spoken for well before the opening festivities kicked off.Read More
KAWS pictured with Lance Armstrong's latest acquisition...
KAWS becomes a brand name as his images appear on hip-hoppers' clothes and on gallery walls.
By Chris Lee
February 21, 2009, LATimes
Over the course of a career that has variously infuriated anti-graffiti task force officers and enthralled Japanese street couture collectors—meaning winning props from hip-hop superstars Kanye West and Pharrell Williams—the pop artist KAWS has carved a unique niche for himself. The soft-spoken 34-year-old Jersey City native, born Brian Donnelly, created a new business model that bridges the high-low culture divide in ways that would have made steam come out of Andy Warhol's ears.
By parlaying vandalism into a brand identity as a purveyor of mass-produced collectible toys, KAWS became a bona fide subculture celebrity with a recognizable presence in street fashion.
But now, KAWS is at a career turning point. In spite of his renown in subcultural circles (which galleristas and museum directors have historically snobbed), he is now being mentioned in the same breath as pop art luminaries, such as Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring and Jeff Koons. And while KAWS has proven himself perfectly capable of trafficking his own pop offerings—on skateboard decks, stickers, T-shirts and sneakers—KAWS has infiltrated the rarefied world of institutional art after being held at arm's distance from it for much of his career. Pretty fly for a graf guy.
"When I grew up, I never thought I could enter a gallery," KAWS said over lunch at Chateau Marmont this week. "I looked at them as these pretentious places that did not welcome me." Click HERE to continue reading...
KAWS fans already going into synaptic overload at the thought of Mr. Donnelley's opening of new works at HONOR FRASER this Saturday nite can rejoice in the news that Friday nite, February 20th will see an additional event by the XX-eyed imagist featuring new artwork at the Culver City hotspot ROYAL T. You just better hope you RSVP'd in time. Needless to say, keep it locked on ST for coverage tomorrow...

It's perhaps been a while since Jimpster's Freerange label released something truly outstanding, but their releases are rarely less than enjoyable. This EP is another great example. It features two typically astute remixes from the tireless Axel Boman, who extracts only the finest elements of the rolling, soft-focus original (basically the pulsing synths and echo-laden vocal samples). His second remix is the real killer, a dubby, pulsating rework that offers muted but ocean-deep thrills for dewy-eyed early morning dancers. If you've got the time, loopy bonus cut "Brotha" is worth a listen, too - if only for the hissing cymbals and weighty bottom end.

The Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME) has determined that resources appear adequate to support the establishment of MCW-Green Bay, according to correspondence received in March by Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) leadership.
The LCME does not give formal approval to open a new campus; rather, it makes a determination based on information provided by the school as to whether there appears to be adequate resources to support the proposed change, in this case, expansion. The LCME's determination essentially means that MCW is on the right track in its development of a community campus in Northeast Wisconsin.
The LCME is the accrediting authority for educational programs at schools of medicine in the United States and Canada.
Meanwhile, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which conducted a site visit of MCW-Green Bay in January, is expected to consider MCW's "Substantive Change Application" at its May meeting. HLC accredits degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central Region of the U.S.

A 56-year-old man pleaded guilty Thursday afternoon to charges of attempted capital sexual battery, lewd or lascivious molestation, lewd or lascivious exhibition, two counts of use of child in a sexual performance, and six counts of possession of child pornography.
Between April and July 2012 U.S. attorneys said Medford McCullough engaged in inappropriate sexual activity with two child victims.
During that time McCullough touched the victims and made them pose nude in sexual positions while he took pictures, according to the State Attorney's Office.
McCullough was sentenced to 40 years in prison with a 25-year minimum mandatory, followed by life probation. Attorneys said he was also deemed a sexually violent predator.

Comics publisher Devil's Due and Capcom have signed a deal to turn some of Capcom's popular video games, starting with BIONIC COMMANDO and LOST PLANET, into graphic novels.
The first in the four-property deal will be BIONIC COMMANDO, VARIETY reports, with writer Justin Marks hired on for writing duties.
Marks has been busy recently spinning pop culture properties into pictures, including VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE, HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, GREEN ARROW: ESCAPE FROM SUPERMAX and Fox's upcoming STREET FIGHTER: LEGEND OF CHUN LI.
He is currently writing an adaptation of Devil's Due graphic novel HACK/SLASH for Rogue Pictures, produced by Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter. Marks will also begin creating original books for Devil's, starting with a time-travel epic SLEEPWALKER (working title) that will be released next year.
Capcom has been looking for ways to turn its high-profile games into other media properties besides films. Turning them into graphic novels boosts the appeal and gives the titles an additional fan base to lure to the movies.
Capcom's RESIDENT EVIL and STREET FIGHTER have been turned into big-budget films. It also publishes MEGA MAN and DEVIL MAY CRY games. A BIONIC COMMANDO sequel is set for later in 2008.
"We wouldn't just be taking a property to a studio," said Stephen Christy, manager of intellectual-property development at Devil's Due. "We'd be taking a videogame and a comic book and an incredible screenwriter all at once."Devil's Due also has been active in setting up its books as adaptations around town.
In addition to HACK/SLASH, Devil's has several more picture deals, including DRAFTED at New Line and LOST SQUAD at Rogue.

1933-03-18 Panama Al Brown w pts 12 Domenico Bernasconi, Sports Palace, Milan, Italy - WORLD
1933-03-18 Panama Al Brown w pts 12 Domenico Bernasconi, Sports Palace, Milan, Italy - WORLD. Referee: Jack Hart. Although Brown (117½) was awarded seven rounds to Bernasconi's three on the judges' scorecards, with two even, it was not as straightforward as it appeared. In the fourth round, the champion was actually sent to his corner by the referee, who had apparently disqualified him. With the ring announcer not really understanding what had transpired, the secretary of the Italian Boxing Federation jumped into the ring and persuaded Hart to give Brown another chance as the Italians felt that winning the title by disqualification was not what they wanted. After discussions with the judges the fight got underway and following the unanimous decision there were no protests forthcoming from Bernasconi (117½).

Just placed my first order to FSS for interfacings. I hope I won't regret it.
It seems like a big chunk to spend on interfacings, but when you figure one yard of 60" is the same as three yards of the 20", the prices aren't bad, even with shipping added.

I don't know how you could regret it.
------"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant." - Horton(Dr. Seuss)
***When all else fails, call Tiffany.***
I have never spent that much at one time for just interfacings, that's all.
Believe me - you will not regret this purchase.
I have been buying from Pam for some time and placed an order for an interfacing I had never used. She immediately contacted me to make sure I had ordered the right stuff. Turns out I had made a mistake and am so glad that she not only caught it but also contacted me about it. You don't get customer service like that too often.
Her products are top notch - that's the only brand I use.
With your order you'll get a sheet explaining how to apply the interfacing - follow the instructions and you will be very pleased.
It's quality interfacing and very much worth the money.
I'm a notorious bargain hunter and this is the only interfacing I will purchase from now on.
Thanks! I am looking forward to trying it. Where I am located I just have a JoAnns, and all they have any more is Pellon brand. -- Edited on Today at 2:47 PM --
Regret buying interfacing that works really well? No. Regret buying more pellon? Yes.
You will wonder how you got along all these years without it.

It is really good interfacing and Pam is very generous in sharing her expertise.
Hi MartiP,
I was apprehensive about placing an order for interfacing from Pam, not because of the prices, (which works out the same, or better than the interfacing which is approx. 1/3 the width), but because I had never used interfacing before.
I thought of buying the cheap stuff (Pellon) just to practice with it, but I reconsidered that decision. I wouldn't be getting the same results as I would with Pam's interfacing, so I decided to buy Pam's only. I was happy to receive the instruction sheet that she so thoughtfully included, and I read it several times before I even cut my first piece.
The interfacing ironed on like a dream. In a way, I was sad that I used it on a shirt that I was making solely for mowing the lawn and working in the garden. The results were so nice, I felt like I had "wasted" my beautiful interfacing on a such a garment. Actually, I was so impressed with the way the fabric looked after I applied the interfacing, I looked at it and marveled over it for quite a while. I could not believe the inexpensive cotton I was using could look so good - the difference was amazing.
When I think about it, even if that shirt did not deserve that nice interfacing, I did get experience using interfacing, and I did not have to worry if I had screwed it up a bit since it wasn't a "good shirt." When it comes time to use it on the "better" shirts I will be making, I will feel confident not only in my ability to properly apply the interfacing, but in the wonderful results I know I will get.
If you have any questions, Pam is very helpful, before and after you make a purchase.

This week also saw an unusually good Carnival of Entrepreneurs, hosted at Roberto Alamos.com.
Be sure to catch Dane Carlson's contrarian entry — he lists 20 things you should not do when starting a business. Dane's post captures the realities of the way many entrepreneurs run their businesses today, even if it is not the textbook way. Of course, a lot of readers disagreed with him.
