I have a repository on github, say testrepo. Now I'd like to set up a local repository
repo that has one branch
origin-master where I want do be able to edit things from the repository.
repo/origin-master <--------> origin/master
The cloning works fine:
mkdir repo && cd repo && git init
# not necessary of course:
echo "master" > master && git add master && git ci -m "master"
git remote add origin firstname.lastname@example.com:<username>/testrepo.git
git fetch origin
git branch --set-upstream origin-master origin/master
git checkout origin-master
# create a new file:
echo "for origin-master" > orig-master && git add orig-master && git ci -m "orig-master"
git push origin
To firstname.lastname@example.com:<username>/testrepo.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'firstname.lastname@example.com:<username>/testrepo.git'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') before pushing again. See the
'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.
How can I tell git that if I want to push to origin, I want to push the local branch

SEND TO A FRIEND : Stokke Tripp Trapp Baby Set White
|Close x
|Close x
The Tripp Trapp®Baby Set is comprised of the Seating rail, Crotch strap, and Baby back plate.
The Stokke Tripp Trapp® baby set is for use when your baby is able to sit up without help or support - usually around the ages of 6-9 mths.
The Baby back plate hooks onto the original Tripp Trapp®, which supports and moves your child forward in their seat. Bringing your child closer to the optimized Seating rail and Crotch strap, the Baby back plate offers increased support and stability, as well as allowing your child to sit closer to you at the table.
The Tripp Trapp® Baby Set provides optimal sitting safety during your childs first months and years, and continues until the time when your child is able to climb in and out of their chair independently.
The Tripp Trapp® Baby Set provides you and your child with a number of features, functions, and benefits.
Seating rail. The seating rail provides additional security for your child whilst seated. Reduces the risk of your child climbing out of the Tripp Trapp®
To further increase the backward stability of the Tripp Trapp highchair, a replaceable, extended rear glider (Extended Glider) has been developed for the Tripp Trapp highchair. We recommend that you always use the Tripp Trapp Extended Glider while the chair is being used with a harness or the Tripp Trapp Baby Set.
Product good.
Delivery didn't show up when promised

Bought this white stokke for my baby and I'm very happy with it. My son loves sitting in it and it also matches our Snow White flat interior. Doesn't take up much space like other highchairs. Delivery was super fast as usual. Would recommend it to anyone.
Amazing piece of furniture
24 Oct 2013
Please include in your summary that this is not compatible with SOME older style chairs as I have found the hard way eg 2 hours attempting to assemble and then various emails to the manufacturer.
Incompatible with some older chairs
18 Aug 2013
I had one of these when I grew up and it stayed with me until I was a teenager! I loved it then and I love it now that we are weaning our infant daughter. It provides a stable environment for her (currently supported with towels as she's still a bit unstable in terms of sitting unsupported) and the adjustable footrest gives her that extra bit of support. We love it and so does she!
18 Aug 2013
We debated for a while wether to purchase this seat as we had the original Tripp Trapp baby set, but as soon as we got it, we were glad we had., It fits really securely to the chair and its much easier to get the baby in and out of. The added bonus was the extra stability gliders that came with it, which stops the child tipping the chair. All in all a good buy, and Kiddicare had the best deal, with free delivery.
Great Baby Seat

Analysis: Team officials visited with the 6-foot, 212-pound safety after Buffalo released him Feb. 11. He spent much of the past nine years with the Bills, playing 92 games with 12 interceptions, 362 tackles and 22 passes defensed.

The shake-up takes place a little over a month since Marrone took over after Chan Gailey was fired following three losing seasons.
Analysis: General manager Buddy Nix said the cuts were made Monday with the intention of moving the team forward and freeing up spots to allow Buffalo's younger players to step into those roles. Wilson was a respected leader and voted a five-time team captain during his eight seasons in Buffalo. He was also the team's NFL Players Association representative.

Mazda B2600 Problems
If the engine cranks but won't start, the fault may be internal to the distributor. Diagnosis will show no spark and trouble codes for the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or the camshaft position sensor (CMP). Our technicians recommend replacement of the complete distributor assembly if these conditions occur.
If the automatic transmission shifts in and out of overdrive while cruising, it may be from a coolant thermostat that is stuck open. The engine must reach full operating temperature for the overdrive to engage properly. If possible, check to see the engine is running at full operating temperature while cruising.
If the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Light is flashing, the "Room" fuse may be missing or open (blown). Replace the fuse if needed and check the light again for flashing. If the fuse pops again, further diagnosis will be needed. If the light is not flashing, and on continuously, that means the system malfunction that needs ABS System diagnosis.

If you attended then you will be receiving a nice shiny post conference DVD with all the slides in the next few weeks, but I promised that I would post my demo material here for those that asked.
I presented 3 sessions this year which all seemed to go reasonably well - apart from the emulator dropping out in the provisioning session (thanks for the help Keni). I've zipped up the demo's and the slides from each session. Feel free to grab them and dig through, but remember its all sample code and provided 'as is' with no support.

In order to support the drive for gender-responsive SSR, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) and the United Nations International Research and Training Institution for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW, now part of UN Women) published a Toolkit on Gender and Security Sector Reform in February 2008.
During the development of the Toolkit it became clear that there was also a need for practical training materials on Gender and Security Sector Reform. This is the purpose of this Gender and Security Sector Reform Training Resource Package.
These training resources are a companion to the SSR and Gender Toolkit. They are designed for SSR trainers and educators, to help you present material on gender and SSR in an interesting and interactive manner. The Gender and SSR Training Resource Package contains a wide range of exercises, discussion topics and examples from the ground that you can adapt and integrate into your SSR training. Gender trainers working with the security sector will also find the content useful. For more about this Gender and Security Sector Reform Training Resource Package and how to use it, read 'Using the TRP'.
11 December 2014
Several new publications developed by the Partnership for Peace Consortium SSR Working Group are now available on the additional resources page, namely a list of course evaluation criteria, a reference sheet for gender-responsive course evaluations and hints and tips for coaching and mentoring. In addition, an inventory of gender and security e-learning courses has also been added.

Fourth-quarter miscues prove to be costly for Gators
Published: Saturday, October 6, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 6, 2007 at 1:45 a.m.
BOURG For a while, it looked like West Jefferson might name the score Friday night against South Terrebonne.
After erasing an 18-point deficit and scoring 24 unanswered points, it appeared the Gators might win going away.
Neither scenario came to fruition.
South Terrebonne yielded two touchdowns in the final three minutes to fall 41-34 to the Buccaneers in nondistrict play.
Turnovers and missed opportunities ran amok in the second half.
Leading 28-17 with 3:54 to play in the third quarter, West Jefferson quarterback Terrell Marco fumbled inside his own 20-yard line.
After going three-and-out, Ben Landry connected on a 32-yard field goal that cut the lead to 28-20.
Another possession for West Jefferson resulted in another turnover when South Terrebonne recovered a fumble at the Buccaneer 13-yard line.
With a charged-up Gator crowd fully behind the home team, Landry hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass on a fade route from quarterback Blake Martin to put South Terrebonne to within two.
Martin then found Kody Breaux in the end zone for a two-point conversion that made it 28-28 with 45 seconds to play in the third.
Landry had previously hauled in a 49-yard touchdown catch from Martin earlier in the third quarter that had cut the lead to 11.
He hurt us all night, West Jefferson coach Hank Tierney said. That kid is a very good receiver for them.
Hes not a bad kicker, either.
Landry did a nice job of putting kickoffs into the back of the end zone to ensure the Buccaneers would start with only marginal field position all throughout the night.
He hit field goals of 31 and 32 yards, respectively, missing only a 46-yard kick with plenty of distance wide right with time winding down in the first half.
After tying the game for the first time all night, the momentum kept shifting in South Terrebonnes favor as West Jefferson kept shooting themselves in the foot.
The Gators started in Buccaneer territory for the third straight possession after a shanked punt of only 19 yards went out of bound.
Facing second-and-10 from the Buccaneer 23-yard line to open the fourth quarter, Breaux rushed up the middle, broke free to the outside and raced 22 yards to set up first-and-goal from the 1.
One play later, fullback Demetrius Boyd scored from 1 yard out to give South Terrebonne its first and only lead of the night at 34-28. A botched snap on the extra point attempt forced Landry to throw into the end zone, where he was intercepted.
After holding the Buccaneers to a three-and-out, South Terrebonne took over with six minutes to play and looked to run some time off the clock.
The Buccaneers had other ideas, however, forcing a three-and-out of their own to take possession of the ball.
More turnovers then proceeded.
On first down, Marco scrambled and raced 40 yards down field past the Gators 20-yard line.
But instead of scoring a touchdown as it appeared he might, Marco was caught from behind and coughed up the ball to give South Terrebonne possession at its 14-yard line with just 4:26 to play.
South Terrebonne failed to capitalize and only handed the ball right back to West Jefferson when Breaux fumbled a pitch that gave the Buccaneers new life at the Gator 12-yard line with 3:40 to play.
Tevin Conway, who rushed for 79 yards on six carries, reeled off an 11-yard gain to set up first-and-goal from the 1-yard line before Marco scored on a quarterback sneak that would put West Jefferson ahead 35-34 with 2:51 to play.
After the Gators failed to convert on fourth down on the ensuing drive, West Jefferson took over and appeared to put things out of reach.
Tailback Edward Robinson rushed in from 14 yards out with less than a minute to play to put the Buccaneers ahead, 41-34, before a missed extra point.
With 36 seconds left on the clock, South Terrebonne wasnt giving up.
The Gators marched the ball inside the Buccaneer 30-yard line with 20 seconds to play.
But with time winding down, Martin was intercepted in the end zone by Jimmy Crawford with 14 seconds to play, securing the victory for West Jefferson.
It may not have been pretty but for Tierney, a win was a win.
When youre up 28-10, the game should be over, said the Buccaneer coach. But we turned it over and (South Terrebonne is) a very good team offensively and did what they needed to do to get back in the zone.
Well take it anyway we can get it, Tierney said.
Robinson led the way for West Jefferson, scoring four touchdowns on the night and rushing for 200 yards on 13 carries.
After Landry hit the first of two field goals to cut the lead to 14-10 with 6:18 to play in the second quarter, Robinson took the first play from scrimmage on the Buccaneers next drive and raced 80 yards straight up the middle to make it 21-10
entering halftime.
The way the Gators were playing both offensively and defensively and down 18 at the time, it seemed almost unimaginable that the game would be tied entering the final period.
In the first half, we just werent making any plays, South Terrebonne coach Richard Curlin said. In the second half, we finally started making a few plays and getting back into it.
Landry caught four passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
Martin completed 7-of-15 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
I thought that if we could throw it a little bit that wed have a chance at catching up, Curlin said. Luckily, we were able to hit a couple of passes on them and were able to get back in the game.
Boyd led the ground attack for South Terrebonne with 106 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries.
B.J. Darder rushed for 53 yards on eight carries, and Breaux rushing for 43 yards on nine carries.

Walmart's main theme is cheaper than anyone else. It achieves this by scales of economy, it buys in bulk and ships with company owned trucks domestically. Walmart is the biggest and smartest retailer-wholesaler-distributor ever conceived. They can view real time cash register readouts in any store, they can compute profitability on a item purchased in a 5 second window.
If Walmart raises their price because of fuel and products (plastics), and the U.S. consumer decides $6 a gallon gas is too much what happens to your neighborhood? I think people will bike, walk, or bus to the closest store. People will demand lower prices and local producers will fill the void by minimal to market transportation. Sounds crazy? Think micro-breweries and farmers markets.
Perhaps in the future with expensive fuel, house hunters will ask "Is it close to the store and are there sidewalks to school" and "Why is the 2 bike garage so big "?

The Kotor Municipality region
Although, for years, a favourite secret haunt for celebrities, Montenegro is now emerging as one of the world's newest tourist destinations. Roughly translated as "Black Mountain", one third of the country is mountainous- the most rugged terrain in Europe and these mountains form a spectacular back drop where ever you go. It was formerly part of Yugoslavia and is maller than Wales with a similar circumference to Cyprus, it has its coastline on the Adriatic, with Serbia to the north, Albania to the south east and Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to the northwest.
Montenegro has been likened to New Zealand with its dramatically rugged coastline dotted and pretty little fishing villages, hidden coves and beaches, its spectacularly beautiful fjord (the only one in Southern Europe), and its wild, sparsely populated challenging interior. Kotor Bay lies within the fjord and at its head is Kotor one of Europe's finest medieval towns. It is a UNESCO World Heritage centre and no traffic is allowed within the old town walls. This leaves the visitor free to meander through the maze of narrow cobbled streets and explore the tiny alleyways. The Old Town, (Stalig Grad), is a breathtaking mixture of churches, museums, palaces, boutiques, pavement cafes, restaurants and disco night clubs
Outside the walls is the harbour - a popular stopping off point for cruise ships - lured up the fjord by the breathtaking scenery, welcoming atmosphere and the superb food, - and for the rich and famous in their spectacular yachts
The semi circular old wall walk is a 'must to do', as is the walk to the fortress of St Ivan at the top but beware – with 1350 steps to climb its a bit much in the heat of the day though the views from the top are well worth the haul!
Kotor Bay is dotted with picturesque fishing villages mainly accessible only by narrow little lanes -so hire the smallest car possible if you want to explore the region.
Nestling at the foot of the fjord's dramatic granite mountain range stands Orahovac, a tiny picturesque fishing village, some 10 minutes drive from Kotor and a little less to the beautiful village of Perast
Orahovac has a south facing, long but narrow coastline with a mixture of small white pebble beaches and man made puntas all fringed by trees offering welcome shade from the mid day sun. Three seasonal beach bars sit on the water's edge. A mountain spring ensures the waters of the fjord remain pristine clear and the gently sloping beach makes this an ideal area for swimming.
There are two small local shops in Orahovac selling most basic essentials including fruit, vegetables and ice cream. The nearby cafe, Kum Tasty, serves local meat and seafood dishes whilst the 4star Amfora Hotel, has a fitness centre, a bar, and both an indoor and outside restaurant - the latter consisting of picturesque terraces zig zagging right down to the water's edge.
Just outside of Orahovac, in the village of Ljuta, is the Stari Mlini Restaurant - a renovated water mill.
There are more cafes a little further along in Dobrota, perched right on the waters edge and serving fast foods and drinks- perhaps a little too far to walk in the summer but, maybe, not in the cooler months.
A regular bus service operates between Kotor and Risan with connections to Herceg Novi.
A gentle walk through the tiny village is always pleasant but if you feel like doing something a little more exhilarating, then you can climb the steep lane to visit the Church of St George which is perched on a rock above Orahovac. There are hiking trails up into the mountains for those who are looking for something more strenuous! ...and of course the picturesque village of Perast and the medieval town of Kotor are both only a few minutes drive away.

I just realized that...instead of 700c wheels, you could use 650c wheels and use the extra clearance for like fenders and/or bigger tires.
Anyone use them? I mean, I hear that 700c's only real advantage is at high racer speeds when the centrifugal force makes them efficient, but at lower speeds (ie most bicycling speeds), this is not hte case.

The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team
Have you ever wanted to do something simple in a build, like get a substring of a property value, and found that MSBuild didn't have syntax for it? You then had to write a task for it, which was tiresome to do for such a simple operation. What's more, if you wanted to do this during evaluation – outside of a target – you couldn't run a task there anyway.
In MSBuild 4.0 we addressed this by adding "property functions" which allow you to execute a variety of regular .NET API calls during evaluation or execution.
Here's an example. For the default VB or C# project, both the intermediate and final output directories are by default below the project's directory. Instead, I'm going to move the final outputs to c:\outputs\<some guid>\ followed by the usual path. You can see below how I did this. I removed the <OutputPath> property and replaced it with an expression that generated a guid for this project.
Now I reopen the project and hit build to show it worked:
There are two syntaxes, as follows. They're intended to be fairly close to the existing Powershell syntax for calling .NET types. The first is for calling static members:
The second is for instance members on the String class. You write it as if the property itself is a string.
Notice that when setting a property, you must use CLR syntax for properties ("set_XXX(value)").
The neat part is that these can all be nested – be sure to match your parentheses correctly of course. We attempt to coerce parameters as far as possible in order to find a method or overload that will work.
If you want to pass strings, quote with back-ticks.
When you pass the result of one expression to another, the types are maintained along the chain. This helps the binder find the member you are trying to call. Only when the final result of the expression needs to go into the build do we coerce it to a string.
Some examples may help:
* You can't run instance methods on raw strings. For example $("c:\foo".get_Length()). They must go into a property first.
* Out parameters won't work – there are no intermediate values except for the return value. No delegates or generics either.
* If we coerce to the wrong overload, you may be able to use a Convert method to force the correct one.
* By default, you can only call certain members on certain types – selected to be free of side-effects. Here's the full list:
(1) All members on the following types:
System.Byte System.Char System.Convert System.DateTime System.Decimal System.Double System.Enum System.Guid System.Int16 System.Int32 System.Int64 System.IO.Path System.Math System.UInt16 System.UInt32 System.UInt64 System.SByte System.Single System.String System.StringComparer System.TimeSpan System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex System.Version MSBuild (see below) Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper
(2) Selected members on certain other types:
System.Environment::CommandLine System.Environment::ExpandEnvironmentVariables System.Environment::GetEnvironmentVariable System.Environment::GetEnvironmentVariables System.Environment::GetFolderPath System.Environment::GetLogicalDrives System.IO.Directory::GetDirectories System.IO.Directory::GetFiles System.IO.Directory::GetLastAccessTime System.IO.Directory::GetLastWriteTime System.IO.Directory::GetParent System.IO.File::Exists System.IO.File::GetCreationTime System.IO.File::GetAttributes System.IO.File::GetLastAccessTime System.IO.File::GetLastWriteTime System.IO.File::ReadAllText
The reason we prevent this is to make it more safe to load Visual Studio projects. Otherwise, someone could give you a project that formatted your hard-disk during evaluation. Visual Studio load-time safety is actually more complicated than that – some targets will run and do arbitrary things – but we didn't want to make new opportunities for badness. We could have made this limitation only apply to Visual Studio, but then it would be possible to have your build work differently on the command line. I'd like to hear your feedback on this – is the list too constraining?
You can decide whether we made the correct call here. Meanwhile there is an unsupported way to call members on arbitrary types: set the environment variable MSBUILDENABLEALLPROPERTYFUNCTIONS=1. You can now use any type in any assembly. Of course, MSbuild has to know what assembly it is in (it knows them for the list above); and the CLR binder still has to be able to find it to load it.
To figure out the assembly, it tries to work up the name. So for this example (assuming the environment variable is set)
it will look for Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.dll, then Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll (which it will find and load from the GAC) and you will get the value of the current directory.
If that's not going to work for your assembly, it is possible to pass in a strong name. For example, the above could equivalently be written like this:
$([Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem, Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a]::CurrentDirectory)
This means you can write your own functions for MSBuild to call – just put the assembly somewhere that the CLR can find it. By doing that, you can (if you set the environment variable) cause your build do do absolutely anything during property evaluation.
Here's a screenshot of these examples:
Have fun, and let me know what you think. I'd love to get suggestions on how we can improve this.
Dan (Dev lead, MSBuild)
[Update] I'll post about this separately later, but here's one other property function that will be useful to some people:
$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove(directory, filename)
Looks in the designated directory, then progressively in the parent directories until it finds the file provided or hits the root. Then it returns the path to that root. What would you need such an odd function for? It's very useful if you have a tree of projects in source control, and want them all to share a single imported file. You can check it in at the root, but how do they find it to import it? They could all specify the relative path, but that's cumbersome as it's different depending on where they are. Or, you could set an environment variable pointing to the root, but you might not want to use environment variables. That's where this function comes in handy – you can write something like this, and all projects will be able to find and import it:
<Import Project="$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove($(MSBuildThisFileDirectory), EnlistmentInfo.props))\EnlistmentInfo.props" Condition=" '$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove($(MSBuildThisFileDirectory), EnlistmentInfo.props))' != '' " />
[Update 2 – it's useful to gather all this in one place for reference.]
The full list of built-in [MSBuild] functions, like the one above, are in the MSDN topic here. As well as the unusual "GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove" that I showed above, they also offer arithmetic (useful, for example, for modifying version numbers), functions to convert to and from the MSBuild escaping format (on rare occasions, that is useful).
The functions parser is pretty robust but not necessarily that helpful. Errors you can get include
(1) It doesn't evaluate but just comes out as a string. Your syntax isn't recognized as an attempt at a function, most likely you've missed a closing parenthesis somewhere.
(2) error MSB4184: The expression "…" cannot be evaluated. It treated it as a function, but probably it couldn't parse it.
(3) error MSB4184: The expression "…" cannot be evaluated. Method '…' not found. It could parse it, but not find a member it could coerce to, or it was ambiguous. Verify you weren't calling a static member using instance member syntax. Try to make the call less ambiguous between overloads, either by picking another overload (that perhaps has a unique number of parameters) or using the Convert class to force one of the parameters explicitly to the type the method wants. One common case where this happens is where one overload takes an int, and the other an enumeration.
(4) error MSB4184: The expression "[System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Replace(d:\bar\libs;;c:\Foo\libs;, \lib\x86, '')" cannot be evaluated. parsing "\lib\x86" - Unrecognized escape sequence \l. Here's an example where it bound the method, but the method threw an exception ("unrecognized escape sequence") because the parameter values weren't valid.
(5) error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "....". Method 'System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)).. Hopefully self explanatory. As well as checking your syntax, check that it's actually a static member rather than an instance member.
Arrays are tricky as the C# style syntax "new Foo[]" does not work, and Array.CreateInstance needs a Type object. To get an array, you either need a method or property that returns one, or you use a special case where we can force a string into an array. Here's an example of the latter case:
In this case, the string.Split overload wants a string array, and we're converting the string into an array with one element.
Here I'm replacing a string in the property "LibraryPath", case insensitively.
<LibraryPath>$([System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Replace($(LibraryPath), `$(DXSDK_DIR)\\lib\\x86`, ``, System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))</LibraryPath>
Here's how to do the same with string manipulation, less pretty.
<LibraryPath>$(LibraryPath.Remove($(LibraryPath.IndexOf(`$(DXSDK_DIR)\lib\x86`, 0, $(IncludePath.Length), System.StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)), $([MSBuild]::Add($(DXSDK_DIR.Length), 8))))</LibraryPath>
So far in my own work I've found this feature really useful, and far, far, better than creating a task. It can make some simple tasks that were impossible possible, and often, easy. But as you can see from the examples above, it often has rough edges and sometimes it can be horrible to read and write. Here's some ways we can make it better in future:
What do you think?
[Update 3]
Here's an example of using a constructor – and of doing so to do a string operation on a piece of metadata.
<Message Text="$([System.String]::new('$(_NTDRIVE)$(_NTROOT)\%(ConfigPaths.Identity)').StartsWith('\$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)', System.StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))"/>

The Food Biz: New Myint flavor
What does a chef entrepreneur do when he decides to add a fourth business but doesn't want it to overlap with his first three restaurants? How about open a retail location.
That's what Arnold Myint is doing as he prepares to launch a new place called AM this summer in the Nashville Farmers' Market downtown. He's calling it a gourmet grab-and-go, with just a handful of seats.
Known locally for his restaurants PM, Cha Chah and Suzy Wong's House of Yum — and nationally for his appearance on Top Chef last year — Myint is staking out new territory with AM.
"It's a small gourmet retail shop," Myint says. "The food is an extension of what I do at Cha Chah, but I want to bring my flavors to another market."
Speaking of market, Myint says it's a bonus to be located in Nashville's central hub of farm-fresh produce. "It's really exciting to be able to pull stuff right here," he says.
And Myint, whose mother Patti introduced a generation of Nashvillians to Asian food 35 years ago when she opened her International Market store and eatery, says he wants to do some educating, too. People who visit the Farmers' Market, he says, will be able not only to see and buy fresh produce, but also get a taste of creative uses of those ingredients, what he describes as "food with integrity."
"We want to show people that a sandwich is not just a sandwich, a salad is not just a salad," he says. "We bake our own bread, we trim our own meats, our veggies are local."
AM's offerings of cold sandwiches, deli salads and takeaway dinner entrees will be prepared in advance in Cha Chah's kitchen. (The Farmers' Market space doesn't have a stove hood or other requisite equipment for real cooking.) The focus will be on takeout, but there will be a few seats at the counter.
When Myint emceed the Top Chef Tour at the Farmers' Market last week, he hinted at another component that he said he couldn't yet detail or promise. "There's talk of a license," he said. "A license for something that comes in a glass."
Now selling steaks
Another enterprising restaurateur, Chris Hyndman, just unveiled his fourth restaurant, Kayne Prime Steakhouse, on McGavock Street off the Gulch in the former Radius10 space at 1103 McGavock. Aiming to be the high-end steakhouse of all steakhouses in Nashville, Kayne Prime staged VIP previews last week and was primed to open officially this past Friday.
Hyndman's the man behind two other restaurants on the same block: Virago, a chic warren of dining spaces and cocktail perches inside a former warehouse, and Whiskey Kitchen, the more casual hangout of folks like Nashville rockers Kings of Leon. Hyndman has branded that stretch of McGavock as an entertainment corridor he calls M Street. A little ways down Broadway in Midtown, Hyndman also has Tavern, his chef-driven-cuisine-meets-neighborhood-pub concept.
Overseeing all four kitchens is executive chef Robbie Wilson, a veteran of some top-flight joints like sushi deity Nobu Matsuhisa's outpost in Aspen, Colo., and N9ne Steakhouse, also in Aspen.
Kayne Prime (the name comes from the historic Kayne Street train yard, the tracks along which the trendy Gulch sprang up) is described as "an experience aimed to please both the steak/wine aficionado as well as the adventurous 'foodie' clientele."
In true foodie fashion, the menu proudly proclaims the farms and ranches where each steak was sourced, and endeavors to educate diners on luxe cuts like USDA Prime steak and "beyond-prime" wagyu beef.
In fact, there's a little steak tasting flight, the "Progression of New York Strip Sirloin" that lets diners compare 3.5-ounce cuts of USDA Prime, American-raised wagyu and imported Australian wagyu.
But it's not all about the beef. There are ceviche-like compositions (crudo in Italian) such as Arctic char with roasted grapes, crushed pine nuts and shiitake bacon, intriguing side dishes (crème corn brulee with jalapeno) and, we are told, a daily four-course vegetarian tasting.

What is the best approach to write unit tests for code that persists data to nosql data store, in our case cassandra?
=> We are using embedded server approach using a utility from git hub (https://github.com/hector-client/hector/blob/master/test/src/main/java/me/prettyprint/hector/testutils/EmbeddedServerHelper.java). However I have been seeing some issues with this. 1) It persists data across multiple test cases making it hard for us to make sure data is different in test cases of a test class. I tried calling cleanUp @After each test case, but that doesn't seem to cleanup data. 2) We are running out of memory as we add more tests and this could be because of 1, but I am not sure yet on that. I currently have 1G heap size to run my build.
=> The other approach I have been thinking is to mock the cassandra storage. But that might leak some issues in the cassandra schema as we often found the above approach catching issues with the way data is stored into cassandra.
Please let me know you thoughts on this and if anyone has used EmbeddedServerHelper and are familiar with the issues I have mentioned.
Just an update. I was able to resolve 2) running out of java heap space issue when running builds by changing the in_memory_compaction_limit_in_mb parameter to 32 in the cassandra.yaml used by the test embedded server. The below link helped me http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/configuration/storage_configuration#in-memory-compaction-limit-in-mb. It was 64 and started to fail consistently during compaction.

Something about the dark eye makeup with the white and silver just doesn't work for me. Soft pinky-browns or light greys and blues would have worked better.
I love it. She kept the makeup simple with just some mascara basically.

I dream I might JO into her mouth. skeet-skeet. She is so hot and sexy what a beautiful babe she is, and she has been of age of consent legal age for a few years now too.

Killing Floor is a survival horror total conversion set in London, England. In a laboratory under the city, a series of human experiments in cloning and biological augmentation are being conducted by the employees of "Horizon". Horizon is a BioTech corporation formerly employed by the government to do the R&D on a top secret series of synthetic combat drugs which would enhance the effectiveness of soldiers in the field. Horizon's funding was cut, when their practices were deemed too immoral even for such a controversial project, but the research didn't stop. Funded by private money from the deep pockets of Horizon chairman and research scientist Kevin Clamely, tests continued in a more...private location. That was until something went wrong. There were reports that the lab had been comprimised; that the subjects were behaving abnormally...then, silence. Several days later, twisted shapes began to emerge from the confines of the lab into the city above.

Last year we reported on Flash game developer Ryan Creighton 's exploits at GDC , where he was accused of cheating in front of a room full of developers. Ryan is also attending GDC 2012, but this time he's doing a talk on Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure ; a game he co-created with his five year-old daughter. I think she did most of the art.
Ryan and his daughter Cassandra developed their game at a game jam. Then Ryan put it on a website and slapped a donate button in the corner. It's received $3081.12 to date, which will all go towards Cassandra's college education.
Within two days of release Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure was played by thousands of players. Ryan credits Flash technology with the game's rapid success, saying it's easily discoverable and easy to use. "Grandma isn't going to grab a .exe and install it" he said.
Ryan also highlighted the power of merchandise at the talk. The dev's wife designed t-shirts based on the most popular Ponycorn sayings on Twitter, along with badges and plushies. And people bought that stuff. Ryan has even received an offer to turn Sissy's Magical Ponycorn adventure into a TV series.
The indie dev admits he's taken criticism for introducing his daughter to the industry so young, but takes pride in creating the "world's youngest game developer." Here are his reasons for doing it in bullet-point form to reassure anyone concerned.
"Do something surprising, shocking, dangerous or downright insane because life's too short" concluded Ryan.
Have you played Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure? Was it any good?

We live in a society of instant. Easy. And cheap.
It takes me 60-75 days to grow a tomato in my garden. Daily weeding, water twice a day, watching… guiding the branches… pruning… waiting for the fruit to ripen just so.
Or I could go to Vons and buy a pound of tomatoes on sale for $.97.
Instant. Easy. Cheap.
An author spends months writing. The publisher spends thousands of dollars developing the manuscript into a book. It goes to a printer where page after page is checked, rechecked, before that book is cut and shipped to the publisher. Every step a labor of love.
But I can go to Amazon.com and buy it, it'll probably arrive tomorrow. Or I can just download the Kindle version for $3.99 and get it in under a minute.
I'll probably never read it.
Instant. Easy. Cheap.
Following Christ has never been easy. The New Testament documents a group of men learning to die to themselves. While the spent just 3 years literally walking with Jesus, they spent a lifetime walking in his steps. Most of them died, literally, in the service of Jesus.
Just like the society of Jesus' time wanted to create short-cuts to a God-pleased life by setting up rigorous and sometimes ridiculous religious rules, ours wants to create short-cuts to wholeness, to a life of meaning, and towards holiness.
Instant. Easy. Cheap.
Only problem is that there are no short-cuts.
Following Jesus is hard.
Day-by-day you step into the counter-cultural realities. Day-by-day you have to die to yourself and embrace the practical challenge of becoming a living sacrifice.
It takes time. It hurts. Some successes only come after years of failure.
Long-suffering in a World of Short-suffering
We live in a society with no patience. A tragedy is slow internet. We gripe on Twitter when a flight that covers 2,000 miles is 20 minutes late. We use products like Bisquick and Easy Rice because boiling water or mixing 5 ingredients is just too slow.
It breeds a false sense of importance. As if our time is somehow more valuable than anyone else's.
We have no idea the power of waiting.
Long-suffering – patiently enduring lasting offense or hardship.
Colossians 1:9-12, The Message
Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven't stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you'll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.

Also, there are several varieties of R4 with different features. I'm not a collector, so I can't list the differences. I'll see if I can find a reference. And I'd love to try an SL2 as well. They are rarer, and more expensive, but are all mechanical and built like a tank.

LAS CRUCES >> Renay Scott began her tenure as the new Doña Ana Community College president last week greeted by back-to-back days of record-breaking hot temperatures. When she interviewed for the position in March, the region saw record wind speeds.
"You haven't scared me away yet," she said Friday, sitting in her new office on the college's East Mesa campus.
Scott, 51, spent her first week on the job getting to know her colleagues and the college before preparations for the fall semester begin in earnest. Up next will be meeting with local school district superintendents, members of the business community, public officials and more, she said.
"It's a lot of time out on the road," she said with a smile.
Scott was named DACC president March 12 and began June 2. She earns $175,000.
Key to her agenda will be ensuring DACC's nursing program regains national accreditation.
Scott said the college is finishing up its application for a site visit from the national accrediting agency, the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, and will likely schedule a visit for spring 2015.
"We feel that we're at a point now that we've addressed some of the concerns with response to faculty ratio" that the commission had, Scott said.
DACC lost national accreditation, required for graduates to obtain most hospital jobs, in August 2012 and was named a candidate for accreditation in December.
After the site visit, DACC would likely hear back in late summer 2015 about its accreditation status, said Scott, who helped the nursing program Owens Community College in Ohio regain accreditation during her tenure as provost there.
Part of Scott's role is to ensure DACC graduates help fill the needs of health care providers and other industries, she said.
Next year, the college will begin work on its next strategic plan, asking "What are the needs of the institution?" Scott said. "What are the needs of Doña Ana County? And what is the gap between them?"
The country's persistent economic slump and shrinking higher education funding will be a challenge in the coming years, she said.
"There are so many pulls on state funds," Scott said. "I worry about state funding."
Scott plans to attend information sessions DACC staff will hold for students and families in the fall, encouraging them to attend college and learn about financial aid.
"I think it's important we help young people at an early age — like middle school — think about college," she said.
She is living in a temporary house for now, but looks forward to buying a home in the coming months — and taking motorcycle rides in the area as the weather cools.
"There's nothing like setting down roots," she said, noting she hopes to retire here. "There's so much here that's attractive to me."
Scott said it's too early for her to fully develop her own vision for DACC.
"This is our community college," she said. "... Together we need to build a vision for the future."

The Robertson County Commissioner's Court met to finalize the county budget. After weeks of discussions and number crunching, the county signed the budget to keep the county moving forward. The budget reflects a 0% increase in property tax rate for the coming year. The rate will remain at .43773 per $100.00 of property value. The rate is divided with .41329 going to the general fund and .02444 to debt service.

Southern Bancshares, Inc., a Houston, TX-based financial services holding company and majority owner of Lone Star Bank, First Star Bank, and Texas Star Bank – all State Savings Banks (S.S.B.) – has reached a definitive agreement to consolidate the three organizations under a new name: South Star Bank, S.S.B. All three banks enter the consolidation with a 5-Star rating by industry analyst Bauer Financial (www.bauerfinancial.com). Shareholders have approved the consolidation. Regulatory approval is expected to be granted Q4, 2014. Operations under the new name are scheduled to begin Q1, 2015 with approximately $650 million in assets.

After a bit of standard housekeeping the Hearne City Council approved the 2014 Property Tax rate at $0.71039 per $100 of value. This rate matches that of 2013 and according to the council has remained the same for the past six tax cycles. This means that the total tax increase for the year is 0%. The breakdown is $0.38684 for maintenance and operations and .32355 for payments of principal and interest on General Fund and Enterprise Fund Debt of the City.
The Robertson County Grand Jury has No Billed former Hearne Officer Stephen Stem for the shooting of Pearlie Golden, 93. Needing 9 votes, the Grand Jury deliberated and heard witness testimony for more than 4 1/2 hours today.
Robertson County DA W. Coty Siegert presented the Texas Rangers investigation findings to the Jury and though those records will soon be available for public request, currently that information is withheld from the public until the officially conclusion of the case is filled.
11 of 12 members of the Grand Jury did appear today, opposed to reports posted on other media sites, one member was recused do to the fact that member is also an elected official and serves as a council person for the City of Hearne.
The City of Hearne took immediate action in firing Officer Stem at the recommendation from City Attorney Bryan Russ just a few days after the incident.
Photo By Dennis Phillips | Robertson County NewsThe volunteer fire department and Pastor Jerry Burns evaluate the damage done to an old a/c unit that was near the start of the grass fire at The Gause Full Gospel Church.
On Wednesday July 27 it was a hotter day than normal for the Gause Full Gospel Church. Many residents and those passing by saw the billowing smoke and thought the church had to be engulfed in flames. While there was quite a bit of smoke, the fire did not catch the building on fire. A fire started near an old air conditioning unit that was non-operational and sitting on the concrete porch beside the church building waiting for disposal after replacing the outdated unit with a new one. The fire department was called out and they put out a small grass fire running beside the building, but they did not do an investigation, as there was no property damage so the precise origin of the fire is still unknown.
Making quick work of a rather short agenda the Hearne City Council approved the 2014-2015 budget which will go into effect on October 1, 2014.
Having tabled the routine issue of paying the cities bills at the previous meeting, the council did move forward to approve bill payment as well as accept the minutes from the prior three meetings, two of which were not held do to no quorum present to conduct the meeting.
The hot button topic surrounding the city council meetings has been regarding a petition filed by local residents to place councilwoman Maxine Vaughn on the November ballot for a recall election. Effectively removing her from office due to lack of confidence. While two meetings to address this issue failed due to lack of quorum of council members, the issue was addressed at the regular meeting on September 2.

Joe Sifuentes, Hearne product and proud of it, rose to the top of his local Masonic Lodge chapter, the Ennis, TX lodge, by being elected "Worshipful Master" of his chapter in July. In addition to his Lodge leadership, Sifuentes has held positions with the Shriners International as part of the peace officers unit, with the Scottish Rite, and the Knights of St. Andrews. He is a thirty second Degree Scottish Rite Mason.
As a law enforcement professional, Sifuentes retired after 35 years with the Ennis PD, over 12 of those years as a member of the Ennis S.W.A.T. team. He concluded his career with the rank of Patrol Sergeant Supervisor and that history of leadership made him a natural to lead his lodge.

Franklin ISD school board researched the salary schedule of 6 different local school districts. It was done to bring Franklin teacher salaries up to a comparable to average or above average rate. The district then made a local adjustment across the years of service to increase salaries. Those funds came from the local allocation and not from state funds allotted.
The school board lowered the district tax rate by .03¢ to $1.23 this year. Superintendent Lowry, stated, "We anticipate it to continue to come down in the next few years." He indicated that 9 years ago the tax rate was $1.50, which is .27¢ higher than the current year. The property values have increased this year on some properties, which may cause property owners to not realize that the rate has actually decreased. Mr. Lowry indicated that, "as a district we have no bearing on the property values".
