The discovery of an alternate, earlier version of Howard Hawk's THE BIG SLEEP (1946) is one of the greatest archeological finds in cinema history. It's my all-time favorite movie so finding an extra version of the film is, for this alcoholic, like some kind of angelic intervention. I know I'm not the only who feels a unique personal connection to Hawks' films. He's the Hemingway of film, but with a more noble Arthurian core. His best films draw you in like a circle of cool new friends, comprehending and admiring each other via rituals of friendship involving tobacco, coffee, fire-arms, dangerous flying, shots between drinks and drinks between shots. The focus is always (for his non-comedies) on tough iconoclastic men and the way they need to be risking death and enduring hardship, and drinking and smoking and kissing beautiful women with deep voices can be harnessed to a professional ethic that awakens courage from its somatic 20th century languor. Every lighting of every match is mythic, like that last offered mercy offered before a firing squad.
Hawks is that rare auteur who can speak to me in a way that feels personal, honed to my own constellation of inner weirdness. Hawks draws me into the group in a way I feel we deserve to be drawn, like he's acknowledging some dormant knight-errant whose been awash in booze and decay, bidding him inward. He creates the notion of a true, good, honest, self-sufficient commander we'd love to follow into battle, whether he sends us to our deaths over the Andes or about to charge some kind of super carrot. Such things matter to a film loving 15 year-old not even aware how desperately he's in search of a masculine code that he can't get from watching his dad drink beer and yell at the Mets. I was and still am such a Hawks fan that I refuse to read that huge Hawks biography by Todd McCarthy; I won't have his oeuvre tainted for me by unsavory anecdotes or other evidence of mortal baseness. I just couldn't handle life without my Hawksian ideal!
I remember the different chapters in my life by girls, like Hawks probably did. When I first taped the originally-released BIG SLEEP I was painfully single and a virgin. I didn't think of the surplus of sexually open women holding professional jobs all over the place as anything to do with the war and all the young healthy men being overseas, with only the homosexuals, crooks, cops, old folks, and butlers left for competition. Only now do I realize the line "how are you fixed for red points" has to do with ration stamps. Most of all, though, I was a virgin. But wen I saw the newly-found version at Film Forum one rainy Sunday autumn night with, as Hawks would have called, her "a damn good-looking girl" who'd just stayed over, but not all the way yet, if you know what I mean--as nebulous a night as the hour inside the book store opposite Geiger's shop; the ratcheted sexual tension giving soft edges to a mounting hangover, and the rain and the sudden wealth of big screen details and strange new and alternate scenes made me hallucinate. I never saw the damned pretty girl again, until a year later when she showed up at my door and I showed her QUEEN CHRISTINA (1933) and she thought I was trying to tell her I was gay, or a woman. What the hell is wrong with me?
I love movies, is what, and the sweet pain of seeing a film you know almost by heart but in a new altered version with scenes you've never seen on a rainy hungover Sunday night with a girl you've been in bed with all day and only made-out with, then you know that sweet, twisting pain is why I love reading Lacan, Freud, Josef von Sternberg, Shaviro, Erich von Stroheim, Baudry, Bunuel, and Dita von Teese, and Stadler. With that masochistic eye brought to the Film Forum on a rainy Sunday night, with this girl who didn't know Hawks from hydrangeas, I entered a perverse spectactorial realm of pleasure through which that missing scene at the midnight D.A's office burned a new chapter into my psyche. Sometimes I dream imagined missing scenes from movies (I dreamt an entirely different ending to ANATOMY OF MURDER where Ben Gazzarra attacks Stewart and then confesses), and so this DA scene became one of those, only real.
|As W.C. said in NGASAEB, "you'll have to take that crab net off, dear."
But while ambiguity reigns with Dorothy Malone there's no inferring with Bogey and Bacall, even in this early version they create a draggy vortex of desire, like two smoking cobras hypnotizing each other in a rapid circling that ensnares anyone who comes within eyeshot, and drags them to the floor in a druggy stupor. Then again, the scene above with that crabnet on is very jarring. Bacall is clearly uncomfortable and stiff, they both seem hungover. The replacement scene is much better.
|It gets no better
Though it does kind of provide a lull of sorts, Hawks movies do fine with mid-film breaks, usually for music but here for exposition (music later), and there's a lot of subtextual stuff going on that no scintillating banter could summize. This nighttime D.A.'s office scene illuminates Marlowe's place in the constellation of L.A. law enforcement as a kind of knightly rebel. We learn why he "rates pretty high" for the insubordination that got him fired from the DA's office. We meet the brutish looking by-the-numbers homicide detective, Captain Cronjager, who wants to turn Marlowe in for sitting on his evidence, and not reporting the Geiger murder the previous night and we get more of the great Bernie Ohls as Marlowe's cop friend. It's satisfying to watch Cronjager fume, Ohls needling him every step of the way. "Cronjager's always been my pigeon" Ohls tells Marlowe outside the office with a cat-eating grin.
If that was confusing, and many are confused who've only seen this film once or twice and haven't read the book, I herewith describe the 'hidden' plot as I've discerned it, translated to a more linear form of events, i.e. what happens BEFORE Marlowe takes the case up through the movie's events, so MAJOR SPOILER ALERT, if you have only seen the film once or less, or plan on reading the book, just stop reading this post HERE. And either way you should also read the book. Chandler's prose is delicious and tight as a scared man's grip on a .45.
So, here's what happened: Marlowe's old pal Sean Regan (an ex-bootlegger and IRA terrorist) is ex-wild child Vivian Sternwood's husband and friends with the wheelchair-confined old General Sternwood ("paid to do his drinkin' for him" as Bernie Ohls puts it). Sean is having an affair or is maybe just friends with Eddie Mars' hot wife, Mona. Mars operates various illegal activities like gambling and drugs and seems tight with the General's daughter Vivian, whose younger sister Carmen, a deranged nymphomaniac doesn't come gambling, but does like to get high, and goes to get her laudanum from a dealer who also runs a smut operation out of his house.
Carmen is not just a druggie but a nymphomaniac sociopath who "still likes to pull the wings off flies." She makes a play for Sean and when he rejects her, shoots him. In the book we learn that Sean even taught her how to shoot, and she shot him, intentionally, when he was changing targets out in back of the mansion after he laughed off her seduction attempt.
Vivian calls Eddie Mars for help covering up the 'accident' and he makes arrangements to dispose of Sean's body and--since it's believed around town (whether true or not) that Sean and Mona were having an affair--hides his wife Mona out in a lonesome cottage behind a garage he owns of Rio Lido. This will ideally make people think the pair were lovers and ran off together. Of course Mars doesn't do this for free, blackmailing Vivian, who will 'do anything' to protect her sister. And, like so many blackmail deals made with gamblers in movies, the pay-offs are done by intentionally losing bets for large sums of money at Mars' place, money which is then paid off in IOUs sent to the rich invalid Colonel Regan, who then hires Marlowe at the DA's recommendation to figure out why he's being blackmailed again, and that's where we come in.
One of Mars' branches of service is an illegal adult bookstore, which, like in video stores of olden times, has an adult rental library in back through some bead curtains, and some scattered old volumes in front to make it seem legit (this part is all spelled out more clearly in the book). New York City still has some of these stores, where the front has a bunch of depressing faded blue Kung Fu movies in the window and once you get it in you realize you're the only who's ever come in there searching for actual kung fu movies, and if you ask them for Jackie Chan's PROJECT A-15, you're like Marlowe asking for BEN HUR 1860. It's important to remember that in the 40s hardcore pornography still was illegal, well-hidden, and prosecuted vigorously (especially the gay kind). Knowing Marlowe's familiarity with these kinds of operations (the porn library rental 'sucker list' is then used for blackmail) adds extra resonance to Marlowe's lisp and dark glasses when barging in on Geiger's place ("I'm late for my lecture on Argentine ceramics").
|Carmen Sternwood's backwoods cousin -Jill Banner in Spider Baby (1968)
Geiger also deals drugs, one presumes, which is why Carmen hangs out there (the drink Marlowe smells and wrinkles his nose over is, in the book, wine spiked with laudanum, like Lord Byron used to make). She's also apparently an unwitting model for the photos, which are snapped off the cuff inside a statue head. In a twist white slavery / Requiem for a Dream angle, she's barely aware of her exploitation, but as long as Geiger keeps the cocktails keep coming she's in no condition to resist or complain.
|The Sternwood's car, with dead chauffeur inside
|Lundgren, seeing Marlowe and perhaps putting pieces together
Shortly before answering the door, Brody confesses he did follow the Sternwood chauffeur, who he found parked on the side of the road. Brody came up to his parked car and "played copper. He acted rattled, so I sapped him down." The way Brody says this however, shifting in his chair and avoiding Marlow's eye contact, makes it seem like a lie.
It was probaby Brody, who was staking out Geiger's place that night to see if he could get some blackmail leads on their operation. Clearly Agnes, who was working as a front for Geiger's book operation, had hooked up with Brody as the muscle for her own shakedown of Carmen. This leads to Brody's blackmail attempt on Vivian Sternwood with the recovered picture of Carmen from the scene of Geiger's murder, the picture Vivian brings to Marlowe the next morning.
This would seem to end the case, but after Cronjager skulks off from the briefing in the DA's office and Ohls waits outside, the DA tells Marlowe confidentially to keep digging and find out what happened to Regan. The general, who loved Regan like a son was worried Regan was mixed up in the racket. No one yet knows he's dead and buried and used for deeper, longer con of blackmail by Eddie Mars. Vivian Sternwood tries to find out why her father hired Marlowe and that becomes the bulk of their early interactions ("Do you always think you can handle people like trained seals?") since somehow she'll have to put him off the scent if he starts probing about Regan. In an effort to protect her sister Vivian goes to great length to prove there's nothing between Mars and the Sternwoods. When Marlowe doesn't buy it Vivian rats him out to Mars who sends to serious thugs to work him over as a warning.
Meanwhile Agnes has her hooks into a avatar / boyfriend for her dirty deeds, a funny little guy in a gray suit named Harry Jones.
The key as far as understanding Marlowe's motivations to keep going on the Regan angle, enduring even a later contradictory order from the D.A., brings us full circle back to the rediscovered D.A.'s office scene: After dismissing Cronjager and Ohls, the DA rips up the pages in the transcription of Marlowe's disposition and tells him to keep digging, on behalf of his friend, the Colonel. This is why Marlowe later shirks off pressure 'from the DA's office' to stop digging. Marlowe doesn't run back to the D.A. after Ohls tells him this and say "Gee, boss, but last night you said..." I've learned this is how you get promoted, by doing what the big bosses say privately they want you to do even if, later, they publicly tell you to stop. Sometimes the way things get done that your superior can't authorize is that you do them and then the superior yells at you, to cover his ass, then promotes you once the heat's off. So the thing is done that needed doing and you were punished so the boss's hands are clean. Understanding this, the seemingly contradictory statements like "I seem to rate pretty high on that" (on being fired for insubordination) are understood in this context. Thus, Marlowe becomes an agent through which the D.A. can operate outside the law's limits, as needed. And this explains why Marlowe keeps digging even after being warned off by everyone including Ohls.
I like the way Cronjager and later Marlowe sit on the edge of the DA's desk - like they're two sons at the desk of their dad, comfortable with his benign rulership, competing for his favor. Marlowe becomes the prodigal, the privileged knight of the old boy network that makes the D.A. a King Arthur to General Sternwood's fisher king. The unspoken bond between these old scions is the core of the momentum of the film. Vivian is the one who made that request that Marlowe stop but he ignores it, suspecting she's hiding some dark secret that needs to come to light because "it's cleaner." He's hired by the General and encouraged (off the record) by the D.A., two kings he obeys from a recognition of their lack of, as Sternwood puts it, victorian hypocrisy, it's a service of love rather than from a blind worship of power or title.
And that's really all you need to know, except the end line "we'll have to send Carmen away, from a lot of things" never fully illuminates that she killed Regan in a "hell hath no fury"-style fit. In the book she has a much bigger role and comes onto Marlowe on more occasions (one of the few scenes re-shot or added for the new edition has Carmen showing up at Marlowe's apartment to seduce him and then biting his hand when he tries to throw her out) and we get the full depth of Marlowe's dislike of her associated with his detection of laudanum fumes that make her "stink of corruption" like the general's orchids. It's an odd mix of factors, as ultimately Carmen and Vivian's very existence is borne of the general's mid-life crisis. "Frankly," he says, "anyone who indulges in parenting for the first time at my age deserves all he gets." While smiling on the surface, the scene and tone of the film suggest that sometimes it is too late to start fatherhood. Be contented in thy childless state, lest scorpions issue from thee. Book of Chandler 8:13
Through watching both versions of BIG SLEEP mixed together, flipping the awesome DVD, I am happy, General, as if deserving all I get for my mid-life crises, for enduring the long cocktease that lonesome rainy Sunday with that girl, has paid off, I have two versions of my favorite film in the world. It's like a finishing metatextual touch from God, because this 'preview' version, for the film itself is all about 'duplications,' and doubles not just on page 116 of Ben Hur 1860, but the pair of Mars' more menacing nighttime thugs (Huck and Canino) doubling for Mars' daytime, more comical and unthreatening version (Pete and Sydney "that's what the man said, he said that"). There are also the two versions of the father (the D.A. and General Sternwood); the two versions of the femme fatale (Carmen and Agnes); and the two versions of the sexually mature 'good' girl (Dorothy Malone in the bookstore and Vivian). There's the two versions of Agnes' patsy, Joe Brody and Harry Jones, and so forth. What does it all mean? Veils and boundaries are crossed here, between the obscenely rich and the obscenely broke, between night and day, death and life, drugged sleep and waking from a bad dream. Each person Marlowe encounters echoes another he met earlier until finally he runs out of buffers and the banal face of his opponent, one whom--it should be noted--never comes off as hostile or menacing at all -- "he just pays someone to do it for (him)"
--at last is revealed.
In the meantime, as God is my witness, I'll never go to bed early again, not when I can re-watch THE BIG SLEEP over and over, flipping the disc from one version to another, and ponder the mystery of who killed the chauffeur and what the hell happened in that sexy bookstore during the fade, and why there's no one around today with the masculine cool of Hawks and Bogart, or the low voice sexy of Bacall, and why in the hell that damned good looking girl I brought in the Sunday rain to the Film Forum would stop calling me. All we need to know is that Bogie and Bacall both radiate such alchemically rich magic both separately and together that time stands still and the fine print of the plot fades into the dripping shadows of time like the last, chuckling gasp of Harry Jones. Bet that Agnes of yours wouldn't turn it down. Even knowing it would be her last.

Carter said at a press conference in London last night that
most of the tips were around preparing for a lack of sleep
once the baby arrives in April. The Carters announced on
Twitter yesterday that Honor was 21 weeks pregnant.
"I'm making the most of the next few months - getting as much
sleep as I can, that's the advice from all the guys who have
had children in this team," Carter said.
The All Blacks and Crusaders playmaker, 30, looked slightly
uncomfortable discussing his news to a large media contingent
eager for details.
"I'm very excited. It's great news, something we've been
keeping pretty private. We're pretty private people but she's
well over halfway way now so we thought it was about time to
share the news."
Carter said the couple didn't know if they were having a boy
or girl.
Asked if he had a sporting career in mind for his child -
Honor is a former Black Sticks hockey international - he
replied: "There are reasonable genes there so who knows?"
He breathed a sigh of relief and said "thank you" when
questions turned to Sunday morning's test against England at
A calf injury ruled him out of last weekend's test against
Wales but Carter could be considered for the All Blacks' last
match of the tour. The team will be named tomorrow.

im not touching GMCR, its too volatile for me.
appears so. I bought at like 33 even, so i want to see it hit like 31.50 or so before adding more. If not then I will just let the 100 shares I have ride.
JO came back nicely. This is a healthy signal for a higher ground.
Take care,
Nice catch. I tried at 32.5s, but didn't hit.
Oh, well. Cash is still king.
Take care,
JO is moving slowly?
Take care,
bah, 40s in 8 weeks seems optimistic. Its just really slow. Duy, just know you need to get off the wagon in May on JO. That is when the coffee harvest starts, abundant supply and stable demand. It is up, but I was waiting for it to move under 32.50 before buying more.

Hi cryoutcreations! This theme is great! And we will buy it when our site will be online and everything will works good (right now we are working in local to test everything, and plugin compatibility)
I think there is a little bug about images management.
If i upload an image in wordpress automatically wordpress create in the upload folder 4 image.
1 original full size
3 images thumbnail-size medium-size and large-size depending on media-->setting
When i install Parabola and i try to upload an image,
in the folder will be 6, 7, or 8 images...
This is a plain installation of wordpress with parabola theme installed to test it.
For what i have understood
- every image is resized for header image size set in parabola options
- every image is duplicated for featured image size set in parabola setting
- there are othersize but i cant understand where is the problem
Thanks in advance

Our theory for the JFK assassination is that there was more shooters than just Lee Harvey Oswald. We think that he was NOT acting alone in the JFK assassination, especially because one of the Dallas cops was shot about two blocks away soon after JFK was. Here is all of the information we have found to prove it.
Crime scene report:Date: November 22, 1963
Arrival time: 12:30
Crime scene: Dallas, Tx. Dealey Plaza, Texas School Book Depository, and the Grassy Knoll.
Body was found: Lying in the back seat of the presidential limousine
Wounds: Bullet wounds, one on the back of the neck, and a 2nd bullet that entered into the head
Manner of death: Assassinated

When you open it, watch how first JFK gets shot in the neck, obviously from the back. Then watch as he gets shot in the head. Doesn't it look like the bullet was shot from the side? One shooter could be behind the fence, another in the book depository building, and one shooting Tippit.
Grassy Knoll picket fence. (from the inside)
2. But how do we know that a shot came from the fence? We have the science to prove it. In the Zaprauder film, you see JFK holding his hands to his neck. We know that that shot came from the book depository building. But then, JFK is shot in the head. You see his wounds from the head, and they don't really match with those of the neck. The neck wounds look like they are from far away, with very little gore. But when he is shot in the head, it is very graphic, which makes it appear that the bullets came from a closer range. Also, notice how the bloodfrom the wound goes straight up, not at a slightly straight angle like it would if the shot came from the back.
3. Ruby shot JFK?
What if Ruby shot JFK? Ruby could have been the shooter of the Grassy Knoll, then shooting Oswald to cover up the possibility that it was him.
Tippit could have shot JFK, with Oswald shooting Tippit as a way of revenge for shooting our 35th U.S. president. The only proof the government has is that Oswald was in possesion of the gun that shot J.D. Tippit. Either that, or just that Tippit was in the wrong place at the wrong time. There still is a little shred of possibility that Tippit could have not only been the second shooter, but also could have been the shooter in the book depository that was shot about an hour and a half after John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead at the local Dallas hospital.
5. Multiple shooter possibilities?
Most people believe in the multiple shooter theory because it is a mix of most of the other theories. A theory like the Umbrella Man is technically a multiple shooter theory but in more detail of the identity of the second shooter. Think of your theories. Don't they connect with ours?
So basically our theory is that Oswald and Ruby were involved with the murder of JFK, with possibly J.D Tippit. We think Oswald shot Tippit because Tippit shot JFK and Ruby also shot JFK from behind the fence.
Jack Ruby & Lee Harvey Oswald's mug shots as they were taken into custody. (At separate times, of course.)
A picture of J.D. Tippit.
We made a powerpoint that explains all of our information. We also made a model for the JFK shooting. We made a model of the trajectory of the bullets to show how the both couldn't have come from the back.
Our theory is that there were multiple shooters. We all agree that Oswald was one of the shooters, and Jack Ruby was as well. We include the possibility of the Umbrella Man. We could tell that there were multiple shooters because of J.D Tippit's murder and Oswald's involvement. If Oswald killed Tippit, who killed JFK? A multiple shooter. Also, the shots that were fired couldn't have all come that sixth story window. And again, the autopsy shows that the bullets did NOT all come from that angle.
Here is where we found our research. Again, watch the Zaprauder film close up. Observe the wounds and the direction JFK's head moves.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's ties with the United States are coming under strain over the flight of wanted U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden from Hong Kong, with Beijing's main state newspaper praising him on Tuesday for "tearing off Washington's sanctimonious mask".
The White House said the decision by the Chinese territory to allow Snowden to leave was "a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the U.S.-China relationship.
The overseas edition of China's People's Daily, which does not spell out official policy but can reflect the government's thinking, said Beijing could not accept "this kind of dissatisfaction and opposition" from the United States.
But experts on both sides say the tirade should quickly blow over, and that neither country will be keen to let ties deteriorate permanently just weeks after a successful summit meeting between President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping.
"China does not want this to affect the overall situation, the central government has always maintained a relatively calm and restrained attitude because Sino-U.S. relations are important," said Zhao Kejing, a professor of international relations at China's elite Tsinghua University.
"The United States has no reason to exert greater pressure, otherwise it would lose moral support."
Kenneth Lieberthal, a China expert at the Brookings Institution who was an Asia adviser in Bill Clinton's White House, said sanctioning Beijing was "inconceivable" and linking Snowden to other issues would undo careful policy aimed at handling issues in separate lanes to avoid big ruptures in ties.
"Over the years, we've sought to prevent any serious disagreement in one issue area from spilling over and degrading the entire relationship," he said.
At the summit earlier this month, Obama confronted Xi over allegations of cyber-theft. Xi earlier told a news conference with Obama that China itself was a victim of cyber attacks but that the two sides should work together to develop a common approach.
Snowden's revelations of widespread snooping by the U.S. National Security Agency in China and Hong Kong have given Beijing considerable ammunition in the tit-for-tat exchange.
"In a sense, the United States has gone from a 'model of human rights' to 'an eavesdropper on personal privacy', the 'manipulator' of the centralized power over the international Internet, and the mad 'invader' of other countries' networks," the People's Daily said.
"The world will remember Edward Snowden," the newspaper said. "It was his fearlessness that tore off Washington's sanctimonious mask."
The Chinese government has said it was gravely concerned by Snowden's allegations that the United States had hacked into many networks in Hong and China, including Tsinghua University, which hosts one of the country's Internet hubs, and Chinese mobile network companies. It has said it had taken the issue up with Washington.
"Not only did the U.S. authorities not give us an explanation and apology, it instead expressed dissatisfaction at the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for handling things in accordance with law," wrote Wang Xinjun, a researcher at the Academy of Military Science, in the People's Daily commentary.
State news agency Xinhua was more conciliatory in its tone.
"Both Beijing and Washington fully know that an isolated case should not be allowed to hurt one of the most critical relationships in the world," Xinhua said in a commentary. "It is in the interest of both countries to keep the positive momentum in bilateral relations."
Xi's new government, which took office in March, is eager to be seen on an even footing with the United States as Beijing seeks what it calls a new "big-power" relationship with Washington that takes into account China's rise.
Still, China's academics and state media have been loud in their calls for the Obama administration to apologize to Beijing.
"Being tough is their unilateral attitude, which we can choose not to accept," said Liu Feitao, the deputy chief of U.S. studies at the China Institute of International Studies, a top think-tank affiliated with China's foreign ministry.
"The United States should not shift the real focus," Liu said. "This thing has nothing to do with China, except that America owes China an explanation on the cyber attack leaks by Snowden."

Very good...
I expected that this ride would be a challenge for me and it was. But I never felt like I was unable to accomplish it. The guides were very attentive and helpful.
Climbing the Puy Mary was my favourite day. Even though it was difficult for me, I really felt I had accomplished something and the scenery was spectacular. Plus the downhill, cold as it was, was great fun!
Derin, USA
I liked our guides – very fun- and I thought that the routes chosen were spectacularly good. Roads were in good condition, lovely and varied in both scenery and difficulty. Food was generally good.
The first day was great because it was beautiful to see the rolling countryside and chateaus. The second day was great because we moved into completely different territories, and the medieval bridge outside Cahors is fabulous. The third day on the national bike trail was amazing. The fourth day with the climb up Puy St. Mary was exhilarating as well as beautiful. My least favourite day was the last – the scenery wasn't as interesting, though I did like Domme quite well. And the day was shorter. Bravo for picking so many roads that are in great condition. As we were driving around after our trip was over we realised that the roads chosen were in some of the best shape we had seen.
George, USA
The three guides interacted smoothly and seamlessly in what could have been a difficult first riding of a new route. They made us "newbies" feel comfortable from the beginning and we are now hopefully going to become Skedaddle regulars like the other members of our group. If our other guides and trips are as satisfying as this one, we will be well pleased!

Firstly, let me introduce general architecture of a project.
It is hierarchical. We develop server application for our customers. It is stored on main server.
Say, local server 1, local server 2, ..., local server n are the servers (main application instances) in different companies. Each company has one local server. Mostly all local servers have the same functionality (say, core module), but each company can have it's own. As an idea it was decided to solve this problem via git branching.
Let's consider some cases.
Case 1
One company (local server x) wants some specific feature that is needed only in that company. Following the logic our of idea of branches we do the following steps:
- create git branch on main server
- develop needed functionality for that server
- create git branch (branch y) on local server x
- push changes to main server
- switch branch y on local server x
- switch to master branch on main server
Case 2
We developed some functionality (changes in core module) that is common to all companies
Case 3
We developed some functionality that is common only to some companies
Want to hear your advises about how to solve "Case 2" and "Case 3".

I have tried to follow the instructions in http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers to customise the height of the header image using a child theme. Accordingly, I created a functions.php file in the child theme folder with the following code:
$args = array(
'width' => 980,
'height' => 50,
'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg',
'uploads' => true,
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );'
However, the header image remains as its default height. I guess I am missing something.
Do I also have to update the header.php file? If so, can I do it in the child theme and what code should I put into it?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

*When taking an MAOI, you must avoid taking certain medications (including some over-the-counter medicines like Sudafed and cough syrups that contain dextromethorphan), eating certain foods such as aged cheese, aged or improperly stored meats or drinking substances such as Chianti or tap beer.
It is important to note that you should not drink alcoholic beverages while taking antidepressant medicines, since alcohol can seriously interfere with their beneficial effects and cause increased fatigue or mental confusion.
In October 2004, the FDA determined that antidepressant medications may increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents and young adults up to age 24 with depression and other psychiatric disorders. If you have questions or concerns, discuss them with your doctor.

Deep earth imaging is revealing previously overlooked and undiscovered
mineral bodies
By Graham Chandler
The mountains between British Columbia's Highway 37 south of Dease Lake and the Alaska border have long been a prolific supplier of important mineral resources. Ten thousand years ago Canada's indigenous peoples were accessing some of the world's best obsidian - a natural volcanic glass sharper than surgical steel - from Mount Edziza and trading it all over the continent.
Fast forward to the 21st century. The bounty continues. This region can now boast two of Canada's most significant copper, gold and silver deposits: Barrick Gold's Eskay Creek Mine and NovaGold/Teck Resources' Galore Creek Project. NovaGold alone has reported resources of 7.4 million ounces of gold, 117.1 million ounces of silver and 8.5 billion pounds of copper. And now thanks to a new deep imaging technique, Romios Gold Resources hopes to reveal even more in this rich paradise.
Romios Gold had begun intensively studying regional geologic maps which suggested the underlying rocks and mineralization between the two projects held serious promise and so in late 2004 began acquiring land positions there. Exploring surface mineralization supported their enthusiasm when it appeared the rocks may be closely related to the porphyry copper-gold-silver deposits at the nearby Galore Creek Project. They followed up with soil geochemistry, mapping and silt sampling programs on the Trek property in 2006.
Soon they had a diamond drilling program underway. "It was based on plain old hand drawn maps and geologic work," says Scott Close, Principal Geologist for Romios Gold. "The very first time a drill hole was placed at the North Zone on Trek, we hit great breccia-hosted mineralization. This indicated we were within the cupola area of this porphyry so we expected the body to be nearby."
Their hunch was right. Drilling successes in 2008, 2009 and 2010 discovered wide zones of gold-copper mineralization at the North Zone and also identified a new area of prospective copper-gold mineralization called the Tangle Zone. 2010 drilling results suggested the breccia and mineralization at the North Zone extended at least 700 by 550 metres, to a depth of 450 metres and - more importantly - it appeared that the mineralization may be traceable to a mineralized porphyry body beginning 550 to 600 metres depth.
So at this point what was really needed, before committing to further drilling, was a look deeper - beyond their drill depths, into where they expected that porphyry body to be. That's when they brought in the Titan24 Deep Earth Imaging system. "With the Titan24 we could really get a good idea of where we sat," recalls Close. "Predecessors to this system had imaged the Galore Creek mineralized body as we know it today, but the resolution was lower."
The Titan24 Deep Earth Imaging is a product of Quantec Geoscience. Ron Vermey, Quantec's President and CEO, describes what makes the system unique. "It's a combination of array geometry," he says. "We use a grid array on the surface that's 2400 metres long, which gets us down to depths of 500 metres or more with IP (induced polarization, or chargeability) and resistivity, and 1500 metres with MT (magnetotelluric)." He says because of low signal strengths from such depths they also use highly sensitive electronics which can pick up very small signals. "That's important when you're looking at depth," he says. The processing is important too, to recover small signals against an often noisy background.
The Titan24 system's deep imaging capabilities were tailored for Romios Gold's Trek property. And there was another attraction. "Quantec said they could actually couple their deep MT, their high resolution IP and resistivity - of which we hadn't conducted in detail on any of on the Trek property - with drill results from portions of the surveys," says Close. "So it was an excellent opportunity to do all three, allowing us to associate any anomalies, or lack thereof that appeared with data we already had and project into new territory."
Undertaken in the summer of 2010 close on the heels of that year's drilling program, the Titan24 Deep Imaging's three lines revealed what Romios had suspected. The survey identified a large deep conductor 500 by 300 by 200 metres high, across all three lines in the Trek property's North Zone; and it still remains open to the north, east and south. As Romios Gold says on its website, "this new feature, which lies east and below the previous drilling and occurs from 500 to 675 metres below surface, represents the main target for future drilling."
The analysis and interpretation of the DC, IP and MT results also identified several chargeable anomalies above the deep conductive zone. They were reported to coincide reasonably well with the results of the existing 23 drill holes on the North Zone. Romios intends to drill test these anomalies in its upcoming program too.
Close describes the benefits that Titan24 brought. "It's a highly sensitive system," he says. "So it accurately reflects an interplay among the mineralization, alteration, structure and geology of the deposits; when coupled with different reference information like drilling or geochemistry, the survey provides a complete exploration picture."
Quantec uses Geosoft Oasis montaj to generate all of Titan24's sections and plan maps. The Geosoft Viewer allows Romios and other customers to easily view Titan24 maps, turn layers on/off as needed, and enables them to convert them into geo-referenced images for export in a vertical plane. They can bring these directly over into GIS and various other programs.
The mapping workflow was streamlined a few years ago when Geosoft designed a custom solution for the Titan24 application. A Titan24-specific menu blended seamlessly with Geosoft's ability to import, view, process, and share data sets and images in one integrated environment. It allowed Quantec to produce client-specific presentations such as Titan24 Custom Inversion Sections and Plan maps, Voxel presentations and 3D inverted data. Vermey adds. "We're able to efficiently visualize drillhole databases, create Titan 2D and 3D models, integrate client data and pseudosection displays for conventional data within one environment, for consistently high quality results."
The inversion presentations were critical. "The regular DC-based inversion on the MT did a great job for the two southern lines, which indicated a conductor consistent with the geology in the area," says Close. "Major faults overpowered the anomaly at depth on the northern line. So, applying a static shift upon the underlying resistivities to remove the influence of the overlying faults affecting this line, Quantec was able to identify the conductive anomaly striking through all three survey lines. Knowing the geology was useful for constraining the inversion."
The final subsurface processing that brought it all together was produced using Oasis montaj. "The contouring inherent in Geosoft can histogram-equalize (evenly spread colors over a non-linear set of values) better than any other program I've ever used," says Close, "so it makes incredibly beautiful maps." He says once they had that image, they realized their drilling had just missed the conductive body. "The image confirmed what we had suspected: we had drilled smoke near the flame."
Now, armed with this new deep picture, they've picked out new drill locations. "We will have one drill hole penetrate down the middle, right at the heart of the system, and verify the target," says Close. "Then, we'll step out. We will drill holes further to the east through the higher IP anomalies that coincide with surface mineralization, and trace the IP anomalies back toward the deeper MT target." It's a whole new level of confidence. "The Titan24 system has greatly enhanced our ability to focus our future drilling at these depths," he says.
Vermey says Titan24 offers benefits because deposits are getting deeper. "As much as market economics say today 'look for shallow deposits', in many areas particularly in mature jurisdictions like North America many of the deposits are deeper, harder to find, or under cover," he says. "So for ten years Quantec's Titan24 method enables you to look almost as deep as you want to detect these ore bodies. In some places like Arizona you are looking down 1300 metres for porphyry copper." And, he adds, with recent rises in commodity prices that certainly makes it economic to go back and re-explore old mines and camps. "Titan24 is a proven system in a mine site environment so you can come up with some good data out of what is normally a noisy environment."
Romios used the Titan24 survey even in the absence of any existing drilling information - in the Tangle zone of their Trek property. They had nothing but a large soil anomaly, on which Close says "it's hard to find funding to drill anomalous soils." So they ran a single Titan24 line across the zone. It revealed a one-to-one correlation among all three DC, IP and MT surveys, exposing a deeper anomaly connected with the anomalous soils at surface. "That single line added enough confidence for us to attract investors to the potential of this new area," says Close. "It brought us a wealth of possibilities. Really, to me, Titan24 is the new wave of ground geophysics."

With plenty of available parking spaces to go around, letting two businesses and their employees park on Broadway for more than two hours at a time won't hurt commerce, members of the Eminence City Council decided at their July 11 meeting.
The discussion arose after an unnamed citizen parked a van and marked it for sale on Broadway in the vicinity of CVS and Citizens Deposit Bank, Mayor Drane Stephens explained at the outset. Complaints came into the city offices about that, and Stephens got the police involved in order to move the vehicle.
The Grand United Order of the Odd Fellows won't have to weather another winter without a roof, if donors help raise another $30,000, according to organizers of the Save the Washington Lodge campaign.
Organizers continue to push to save the historic building the fraternal organization has occupied since 1886 and preserve it for the future. The fundraising work began after a heavy snowstorm caused the roof to collapse in March 2015.
In Trimble County Circuit Court last Thursday, the cases of five individuals accused in the murder of a La Grange woman were continued pending DNA results.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:53:34.
Courses taught by Peter Del Tredici
06142: Ecologies, Techniques, Technologies II (SCI 0614200)
Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
This course has an IRREGULAR meeting schedule. Please see full course description.
Tuesday Thursday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 124
Peter Del Tredici, Laura Solano
Course Description
In the first 3-week segment of the course, Peter Del Tredici will cover the characteristics and modification of soils in natural as well as built environments, with as much emphasis on the biological properties of soil as its chemical and physical properties. Topics to be covered include the formation, structure and development of soils, plant nutrition, nutrient cycling, and soil biology. Practical issues relating to soil testing, root growth, tree-planting techniques and turf management will also be covered. The final 3 weeks of the course, also taught by PDT, will focus specifically on the remediation of compaction and contamination issues in urban soils as well as drainage and erosion problems in urban watersheds. The lectures will also examine the latest design applications and technical specifications for manufactured landscape soils in a variety of contemporary design situations, including rooftops, roofdecks and capped landfills.
Laura Solano will teach the middle 6 weeks of the course and introduce the concepts of grading and technological considerations for working with topography. The core mission of this class is to teach students to use topography to support poetic aspects of design while building confidence in prosaic but essential technical skills. Grading design will be taught through the lenses of history, art and landscape design with an emphasis on 20th and 21st century work. Technological topics will include drainage patterns, slope stability, the mechanics of earthwork construction, accessibility issues and sustainable practices. The class will be taught through lectures, field trips and assignments.
Course Schedule:
The course will meet from 3-5 PM on Tues/Thurs when Peter Del Tredici teaches, and 3-6PM on Tues/Thurs when Laura Solano teaches.
Week 1 Jan 24 & 26: PDT: 3-5

La Gloria Serie 'R' No. 5 cigars present a bold, complex-tasting blend of robust Nicaraguan Ligero and aromatic Dominican Olor tobaccos skillfully handrolled in oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers. The wide ring size really turns up the volume, too. If you love dark, spicy tobacco flavor, try 5 first!
These start slow, but the flavor grows and is rich. I truly almost burn my fingers smoking these.1313
Very nice construction, very nice burn LOTS of nice flavors, a must try if you like a full flavored cigar. I will be buying more!00
I m kind of disappointed of La Gloria Serie R... It s pretty harsh second taste..., smells bad, tastes bad... : I think, like a drink, there is a first impression, which is good, but after that..., so bad... :00
I don't know if the 7/2014 batch was just bad or what. It smells bad and tastes bad and the draw is a bit hard. Nothing like the quality of the #3. Even the Wavells I've had were better than this batch.00
