Summer Ice Melt On Antarctic Peninsula Is Now Nonlinear, Fastest In Over 1000 Years
Scientist: "The Antarctic Peninsula has warmed to a level where even small increases in temperature can now lead to a big increase in summer ice melt."
A new study finds "a nearly tenfold increase in melt intensity" on the Antarctic Peninsula in the last few hundred years.
Here's the most worrisome news from this 1000-year reconstruction of "ice-melt intensity and mean temperature" published in Nature Geoscience:
The warming has occurred in progressive phases since about AD 1460, but intensification of melt is nonlinear, and has largely occurred since the mid-twentieth century. Summer melting is now at a level that is unprecedented over the past 1,000 years. We conclude that ice on the Antarctic Peninsula is now particularly susceptible to rapid increases in melting and loss in response to relatively small increases in mean temperature.
In short, while some mistakenly assert the climate is less sensitive than we thought, the fact is that polar ice loss is accelerating far beyond what the models had projected even a few years ago, and the whole region appears even more sensitive than previously thought.
It was just 2006 when Penn State climatologist Richard Alley explained that observations had indicated the great ice sheets appear to be shrinking "100 years ahead of schedule."
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reported in 2011 that polar ice sheet mass loss is speeding up and is on pace for 1 foot sea level rise by 2050.
What's happening at the South Pole, which has 90% of the world's ice? In 2009, we learned that Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier has been thinning 4 times faster than it was 10 years ago: "Nothing in the natural world is lost at an accelerating exponential rate like this glacier." The same year Nature reported that "Dynamic thinning of Greenland and Antarctic ice-sheet ocean margins is more sensitive, pervasive, enduring and important than previously realized."
As for the cause, we know that "deep ocean heat is rapidly melting Antarctic ice." And we knew that these warm ocean currents melting Antarctica were so intense that, seawater appears to "boil on the surface like a kettle on the stove." Last April, researchers reported in Nature that this melting from below "May Already Have Triggered A Period of Unstable Glacier Retreat." We learned in December that West Antarctica is warming three times faster than global average.
The key point is that the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) is inherently far less stable than the Greenland ice sheet because most of it is grounded far below sea level. As I wrote in the "high water" part of my book:
Perhaps the most important, and worrisome, fact about the WAIS is that it is fundamentally far less stable than the Greenland ice sheet because most of it is grounded far below sea level. The WAIS rests on bedrock as deep as two kilometers underwater. One 2004 NASA-led study found that most of the glaciers they were studying "flow into floating ice shelves over bedrock up to hundreds of meters deeper than previous estimates, providing exit routes for ice from further inland if ice-sheet collapse is under way"….
The warmer it gets, the more unstable WAIS outlet glaciers will become. Since so much of the ice sheet is grounded underwater, rising sea levels may have the effect of lifting the sheets, allowing more-and increasingly warmer-water underneath it, leading to further bottom melting, more ice shelf disintegration, accelerated glacial flow, and further sea level rise, and so on and on, another vicious cycle. The combination of global warming and accelerating sea level rise from Greenland could be the trigger for catastrophic collapse in the WAIS (see, for instance, here).
Right next to WAIS is the Antarctic Peninsula, which, a 2012 study noted, "is grounded on bedrock substantially above sea level." So it isn't unstable — it's just warming and melting faster and faster.
As the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) news release for this latest study reports:
This is the first time it has been demonstrated that levels of ice melt on the Antarctic Peninsula have been particularly sensitive to increasing temperature during the 20th Century.
Co-author Dr Robert Mulvaney from BAS, who led the ice core drilling expedition, points out, "Summer ice melt is a key process that is thought to have weakened ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula leading to a succession of dramatic collapses, as well as speeding up glacier ice loss across the region over the last 50 years."
Lead author Dr. Nerilie Abram of BAS and The Australian National University says, "What that means is that the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed to a level where even small increases in temperature can now lead to a big increase in summer ice melt." She explains
"We found that the coolest conditions on the Antarctic Peninsula and the lowest amount of summer melt occurred around 600 years ago. At that time temperatures were around 1.6°C lower than those recorded in the late 20th Century and the amount of annual snowfall that melted and refroze was about 0.5%. Today, we see almost ten times as much (5%) of the annual snowfall melting each year.
"Summer melting at the ice core site today is now at a level that is higher than at any other time over the last 1000 years. And whilst temperatures at this site increased gradually in phases over many hundreds of years, most of the intensification of melting has happened since the mid-20th century."
Abram concludes, "This new ice core record shows that even small changes in temperature can result in large increases in the amount of melting in places where summer temperatures are near to 0°C, such as along the Antarctic Peninsula, and this has important implications for ice instability and sea level rise in a warming climate."
15 Responses to Summer Ice Melt On Antarctic Peninsula Is Now Nonlinear, Fastest In Over 1000 Years
Maybe I am missing something from a quick reading of the papers, but there appear to two seemingly contradictory papers published in Nature Geoscience on 14 April. The one by Abram et al. reported here does indeed show accelerated snow melt in the last 50 years relative to a 1000 year record of melt using proxy measures based on deuterium isotope. The other, by Steig et al, uses oxygen stable isotopes and looks at ice melt of essentially the same region over 2000 years and seems to conclude that current ice melt is not unusual, albeit at the extreme of normal. Steig et al. does indeed note in the abstract that the past 50 years show significant variation in delta 18O in parallel with increasing temperatures. Steig has been quote in The Register as stating that there is nothing unusual about current melt of Western Antarctica.
Do tell, how do these two papers reach such different conclusions? I am out of my area of expertise, so I would be grateful is someone can clarify. Perhaps I am missing something obvious. I assume that the next issue of Nature Geoscience will have a lay analysis of these two results. It is hard to argue with the graphs in Figure 5 of Abram et al., yet it is clear that delta 18O data shown in Figure 4 of Steig et al. do not show a trend.
Regarding that picture, the Wilkin's Ice Shelf, on the other side of the peninsula is gone as well. How much longer before the other ones go?
The link in: "(see, for instance, here)."
should be updated to:
Crews down there this summer also experienced RAIN! All this should scare the living daylights out of everybody, ME
Are there any public models yet, which determine the impact from a collapsing 2000 km high ice sheet?
Glasser et al (2011) give a good visual of the extent of the changes due to Prince Gustav breakup and the loss of ice in Rohss Bay.
Wilkins ice Shlef is smaller but not gone, Jones Ice Shelf is gone, but Larsen C Ice Shelf is quite large still.
Water at 39º F expands both when it is heated and cooled making for some very unusual convection systems and sudden ice melts on large lakes and oceans.
The closest I can think of pro is the floods of Glacial Lake Missoula that happened in the NW ~15,000 years ago. Defiantly a "swallow your gum" event.
When the "grounding line" of those glaciers is released then it is no longer whether the ice breaks up or not as the whole is now floating and offers little resistance at that point. Even if the ice is a mile thick.
The Abram study deals with the Antarctic Peninsula while the Steig study deals with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The Register article conveniently didn't mention this line though: "The same is not true for the Antarctic Peninsula, the part of the continent closer to South America, where rapid ice loss has been even more dramatic and where the changes are almost certainly a result of human-caused warming, Steig said."
Thanks. This lays the matter to rest for me.
There's a difference between sea ice and land ice. Antarctica's land ice, or glaciers, have been melting at an alarming rate. http://clmtr.lt/cb/ri7
Rain in Antarctica?!? You're right, that scares the daylights outa me. Things gonna get ugly.
Reminder that annual formation of Antarctic sea ice at the surface releases deep salt water currents beneath. The Cape Darnley Bottom Water and other Antarctic deep salt currents are thought to be the main drivers for nothing less than global ocean circulation.
We are alarmed by the atmospheric disruption from the melting Arctic, but oceanic disruption from a thawed Antarctic Ocean hasn't been given much layperson attention. How could it even be modeled?
How the Antarctic land ice melt affects water temperature and salinity in the adjacent ocean would be useful to know. Land surface melt would be freshwater and stay atop, and that could freeze without producing heavier salt water.

ROTHENBERG1 AND COLLEAGUES have taken a convincing position on the need for "nontraditional approaches to STD control and prevention" in their description of a social network pilot project in Fulton County, Georgia1; however, one could argue that the approach described is not as "nontraditional" as the authors claim. For many years, public‐health managers and supervisors have recognized that the interview of a patient for sexual partners does not always result in the obtainment of the information necessary to effectively interrupt the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); in this case, syphilis. As early as the mid‐1940s, mass blood‐testing campaigns were carried out in addition to the interview of the infected patient to identify persons infected with syphilis. As the infectious reservoir was reduced through these campaigns, public health approaches were refined to include field blood testing in areas where known cases of syphilis were high.
In 1950, Fiumara described the following as one of the key pieces of a venereal disease contact interview: "Very often a patient will know of a friend or acquaintance who was exposed to the same person either at the same time he was, or at other times. Or the friend may have been out on a double date with the same objective accomplished. Ask the patient to bring them to the clinic for an examination too. The patient may also have friends with the same promiscuous tastes. These too should be invited to the clinic for examination. Encourage the patient to act as a goodwill ambassador and round up potentially infected individuals."2
By the mid‐1950s, Robert Swank and associates had described a process for querying syphilis‐infected patients about others in their social network with whom they were not having sex, but who were sexually active or had symptoms of syphilis.3 In the 1960s, this process was given the name cluster case finding,4 and the cluster interview became a required portion of every patient's interview.5
In 1963, nine STD project areas participating in a 3‐month study of cluster interviewing of primary and secondary patients found that (1) 9.3% of persons described as having syphilitic‐like lesions were infected with syphilis; (2) 4.3% of persons described as being a sex partner of a syphilis‐infected person were infected with syphilis; and (3) 2.8% of persons described as sexually active were infected with syphilis.6 In this study, the overall positivity rate for nonsexual partners of infected persons was 3.4% and the positivity rate for nonsexual partners of uninfected persons was 2.0%, compared with the positivity rates of 5.9% and 5.3%, respectively, found in the study by Rothenberg et al.
In the early 1970s, this interview process was further refined by the development of the lot system, which placed all related cases of syphilis‐infected persons and their named contacts in a single "lot" folder, which was evaluated by supervisors and staff as cases were worked.6
There are two inherent values of the Rothenberg pilot study. The first lies not in its "nontraditional" approach, but in its application of social network analysis to a "traditional" approach that has been used sporadically in recent years. Much has been learned about social networks, such as new terminology, new software technology, and more standardized measures (see Table 2). The article correctly points out that much of this analysis technique is not easily assimilated by the average public‐health investigator; however, the concept is easily understood. The second and most important value of the study is in its timing. As the nation embarks on its third attempt this century at the domestic elimination of syphilis, it is crucial that public‐health workers be aware of and proficient at the use of every available tool in the syphilis‐prevention armamentarium; the application of social network interviews and its subsequent analysis is clearly one of these. More importantly, the application of social network methods at the community level, which are described by Rothenberg et al as "street‐centered," fits nicely with the community‐involvement and partnerships strategy of the National Plan to Eliminate Syphilis in the United States, which calls for members of affected communities to be recruited, trained, and employed for local syphilis‐elimination activities‐including social network intervention.7

Dan on Seattlest threw up a post yesterday, giving a big sloppy blowjob to the Rancho Bravo taco truckAKA Rancho Barfoon 2nd and 45th in Wallingford.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the truck's health code issues on Slog, which sparked a debate about the quality of their food and why I hate independent businesses so much.
Well, dear readers, I can tell you that their food isdespite Dan's claimsnot very good. And it certainly doesn't deserve praise like this:
Wallingford, by the way, is in no way deserving of this taco truck. If the neighborhood was that blond preppy jerk from the 80's with the popped collar, daddy's connections and mad tennis/golf/karate skills, then Rancho Bravo would be its Elizabeth Shue. It just doesn't fit. Someday some geeky neighborhood with a big heart is going to come along with its cast of dedicated misfit friends and steal it away. Until then it's in the Winchell's parking lot near Dicks.
In the interests of fairnessalthough this is Slog, and we're not necessarily known for thatafter I wrote about Rancho Bravo, the owner emailed me. Here's the letter with a bit of editing for length/clarity.
Hey Jonah, I'm the owner of Rancho Bravo Tacos. It's a bit late but I just read the piece you posted on March 31st. I tried to post a comment on the page you posted but it looks like comments are closed now. I just wanted to let you know that I agree that our quality had been declining. This mostly stemmed from not utilizing our limited space efficiently, this was causing a lot of storage problems which included blocking access to the hand sink, although there has always been access to the main three compartment sink. This was also the main issue with the health department. It was a great wake-up call and we have revamped EVERYTHING inside and out. You can definitely taste the difference now that we've got everything in order.
Freddy, I'm sure you've done your best to improve the health conditions at your place, but I can't imagine fixing your sink has done much to improve the quality of the food.
The Al Pastor that Seattlest raves about has, on several occasions, been dry and overcooked or strangely mealy. The last burrito I ordered had cold things inside which should have been hot, and hot things that should have been cold. I don't think I'll be back.
I don't mean to pick on Rancho Bravo, and I know it isn't the only truck in town with issuesthere's at least one truck I can think of that's been displaying an expired food license for about 6 months nowbut c'mon. If you venture outside of Wallingford, there are like 8 zillion better taco trucks out there.
By some strange coincidence, the Seattlest post preceding the Rancho Bravo write-up sings the praises of Cafe Stellina. I've never been there, but I know some folks at our paper had less than favorable things to say about it.
Yes, commenters. I am a stupid fucker, and I don't know what good food tastes like. Carry on.

Websterville man arrested in NJ on drug charges
provided photo Eric Deltoro, 38, of Websterville is seen in this police booking photo.
BARRE Prosecutors say a Websterville man is facing charges for allegedly having around $25,000 worth of cocaine and a loaded handgun while traveling with his wife and young son in New Jersey.
Eric Deltoro, 38, pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with the intent to distribute, possession with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, and possession of a firearm while committing a narcotics offense.
A statement from the Mercer County prosecutors office in New Jersey said police arrested Deltoro on Jan. 30 after the offices Special Investigations Unit received information that he would be traveling to the Hamilton Township area to purchase a large quantity of powder cocaine.
Officers saw Deltoro buying gas, and Hamilton police pulled him over later that evening, according to the prosecutors statement. Deltoro was taken into custody, and a police dog searching the vehicle reacted positively to the scent of narcotics, the statement said. Police searched the vehicle and found a cloth bag containing nine ounces of powder cocaine and a fully loaded .40-caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun with a laser sight.
Deltoro also had $2,375 on him at the time of his arrest, prosecutors said.
Deltoros wife was not charged and was released. His bail was set at $250,000, and it couldnt be confirmed Tuesday evening whether he was still being held.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

Four year old still isn't potty trained...Help!
Comments (8)
Shauna - mom to DS (11/04), DD (6/09) and DS (3/11)
My 2nd DD had issues. She never wet herself but would soil her underpants on occasion. Not full blown crap in them but just enough that they would be stained. Finally discussed with the pediatrician who thought it might be constipation. As ped explained it, when the stool is hard and not passing looser stool can slip by it but the child will have trouble controlling the loose stool because she can't contract the muscles because of the harder stool still in there. Ped suggested giving her fiber drinks to help make her more regular.
My second was much more difficult than my first. After awhile, we bought an egg timer and started setting it for every 20min at first. Every time it went off, he had to try to poop and then pee in the potty. After a couple days we started extending the time. I think it helped him to relize that even though he didn't "feel like" he had to go, he usually could. He was easier to get to go at convenient times like before we left the house, right when we walked in the store etc. And for some reason , because the timer was telling him to go AND NOT ME it was way more acceptable.
Kids are super weird. They do funny things. Good luck!
We are in the same situation here! DS will sometimes go several days with NO accidents and then some days it seems like he never makes it to the potty. He is extremely stubborn and always says, "it's just water." I pretty much have to drag him to the bathroom to get him to go b/c just telling him to go try rarely works. It is soooo frustrating!!! He usually does good at daycare as long as he is kept on the same routine there. He will occasionally go in the bathroom though and pee all over the floor! I really hope this doesn't get worse when the new baby comes next month!
DD- Marissa born Nov. 2nd, 2007
DS-Ryan born on June 22nd, 2009
Angel Baby (EP) December 17th, 2012
my ds didnt get really trained until after he made 3..and mostly the only time i have to tell him to go to the bathroom is before bed & n in the morning..other than that he is fine and now know whe he has to go &when he has to make bowel movements..that was tough at first cause he would always be conpistated but he is fine now & im thinking because he is in school now pre-k by the way..im glad & we had problems at first but as time passed by it was easier and easier with the help from my boyfriend..

Government officials are arguing over whether pay is still too high for top executives at bailed-out companies.
The head of a group that watches over the government bailout thinks that pay is too high. Christy Romero on Tuesday told the House oversight committee that taxpayers depend on the government to put a lid on pay at companies whose missteps nearly crippled the U.S. financial system.
She says top executives at companies like AIG, Ally, and General Motors continue to rake in Treasury-approved multimillion-dollar pay packages.
But the Treasury official who approves executive pay argues that the compensation at those companies is reasonable. Patricia Geoghegan says she had to allow the companies to pay enough to attract the talent they need. That way the companies can finish paying back bailout loans.

Plans to relocate YMCA take shape
Main branch to be built in downtown Tuscaloosa
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 2, 2013 at 11:33 p.m.
Plans are moving forward to relocate the YMCA.
The organization will build a new main branch on property adjacent to the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education's central office in downtown Tuscaloosa. The city of Tuscaloosa is leasing the land to the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority, which will sublease the land to the YMCA.
YMCA CEO Walt Larisey and PARA executive director Gary Minor signed a sublease agreement Friday morning. According to the agreement, the YMCA will lease the land for $1 a month for 99 years.
"Today has been literally six years in the making," Larisey said. "A lot of organizations go after the same dollars. We realized that we can be much more effective and efficient by partnering with other organizations instead of competing with them."
PARA will operate a small park on the property, which Larisey said is about 11⁄2 acres. The new YMCA building will include a weight room, group fitness facilities, a swimming pool and a basketball court.
Larisey said it's still unknown how much the new building will cost and when construction will begin. Much of the cost will likely be funded by donors and grants.
Larisey said the YMCA has been located in the building on Bryant Drive since the building was constructed in 1957. Under an agreement with its neighbor, First Presbyterian Church, which in 2009 paid $150,000 earnest money to eventually roll into a $1.25 million purchase price, the YMCA has to be out of its current location by January 2015.
The YMCA's mission is "to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all." There are just more than 1,500 current members, Larisey said.
The United Way agency teaches swimming and swim safety lessons to every second-grader in the city, about 1,000 kids each year. The YMCA operates after-school and summer camps, organized youth sports, health and literacy programs.

"No one but Feder has sorted out all that can be known about what went on during Mahler's famous session with Freud. This is an important book by an author well qualified to write it."—Stephen E. Hefling, Case Western Reserve University
"Of all the psychoanalysts who have written about Gustav Mahler, Stuart Feder is to my mind the most lucid and the most convincing. It is impossible today to write about Mahler without taking his earlier writings into account. Thus I eagerly await his new book about Mahler's last and crucial moments, when the famous meeting with Sigmund Freud took place."—Henry-Louis de La Grange, author of Gustav Mahler [four-volume biography from OUP]

In this question I have answered it, but I also edited 2 other answers in the same question. I have edited the answers of DoXicK and roirodriguez. Now almost in all answers my name is there. So is it okay to edit answers in a question where you have also answered the question? Should I carry on doing this? Or stop doing this kind of thing?

If the edit was to improve formatting and readability - sure. I can't see anything wrong with that.
There is nothing wrong in editing other's answers as long as it does not change the meaning of that answer. As Pekka has mentioned, if it is just formatting and readability, it should be fine. The user who originally answered would also realize that your edit is fine and leave it there, or if he feels it changes the actual answer, then he can always rollback your edit.

Comfortable Stay at Pet-friendly Accommodation
I had a very comfortable stay with hosts Neil and Stef, who were very welcoming and helpful.
Mine was a combination of business and leisure where I was able to bring my dog, so that was perfect. I arrived later than expected and was pleased to be offered the opportunity to eat on site. I shall definitely be back to stay here again.

Ffynonwen Guest House
Wonderful tranquil magical location, Neil and Stefani have created a balance between feel at home and being guests - snug room with library of books and games to borrow, tv in lounge/bar area, but not in rooms (which we appreciated).
Arrange of leaflets to borrow, and local knowledge provided by hosts. Breakfasts paid for separately but worth it: selection of cereals, orange juice, cooked English (individualised) with freerange eggs. And toast with home made orange marmalade which HAS to be tasted. Jars available to buy to take home. A very special guesthouse to which we hope to return.

Great Stay
We only stayed one night, but a great base for exploring the area I thought - closer to town than we thought.
I only dropped a five on the food as I have a thing about sausages at breakfast - an eternal hunt for the real meaty organic thing etc, but the food was fine/good. The only reason for the 5 on quality of room was i dont know these systems and no it was not a five star towny place. As a country pad though, it was a 6.,

Clean rooms, large bathroom, friendly residents and staff, beautiful location, close to Aberporth Beech, great if you have dogs with you,
Greeted by staff whom were sleeping, cups stained in the room, milk given in a flask, bath towels had blue stains on them, entrance smelt of dog, rooms outdated, no TV, off the beaten track if you don't have a car.

SOURCE: A review of The Final Martyrs, in Studies in Short Fiction, Vol. 31, No. 4, Fall, 1994, p. 712.
In the below review, Bosha discusses Endo's attempts to reconcile his Japanese and Catholic identities in The Final Martyrs.
The Final Martyrs is Shusaku Endo's second collection of stories to be translated into English by the capable Van C. Gessel. This new book provides the reader with a fresh opportunity to reassess the work of the now 71-year-old writer whom some have dubbed "the Japanese Graham Greene."
The title story, which is the collection's earliest, dates back to 1959. Set early in the Meiji era in Uragami, near Nagasaki, and concerned with the government persecution of Japanese Christians, it is the book's only piece of historical fiction.
Endo provides graphic depiction of the dodoi torture the Japanese Christians endured, in which they were hoisted upon a cross and beaten...

Is there anyway to remove several consecutive commits in a branch ?
Let's says the history looks like this :
Now, I would like to remove changes introduced by B and C, so the history looks like :
For instance, a typical scenario would be a drunk developer that committed trash in commits B and C, while writing good stuff at D.
I came up with a rather poor (and probably not very robust way to do it) :
# Get a patch for the good things
# Context lines are set to zero so applying
# the patch won't choke because of missing lines
# that were added by C or D
git format-patch --stdout -U0 revC..revD > CtoD
# Go back in time to last good revision before mayhem
git reset --hard revA
# Apply good things at this point
git apply --stat CtoD
git apply --check CtoD
git apply CtoD
# Add new files from patch
git add <any files that were created in CtoD patch>
# And commit
git commit -a -m "Removed B and C commits. Drunk dev fired"
This way of doing it is far from perfect. Removing context for the diff will probably make git-apply choke on many situations, and files must be git-add'ed by hand. I also might miss the point completely here...
Can someone point me to the right way to do this ?
Thanks for reading !
I forgot to say that I have to push all this stuff to a remote repository, so I tried rafl proposal and while it's ok on the clone, it is not possible to push the stuff to the origin properly.
Here is a detailed (and long, sorry !) list of what have been done :
# Create test environment
# all will happen below 'testing', so the mess can easily be wiped out
mkdir testing
cd testing
# Create 'origin' (sandbox_project) and the working clone (work)
mkdir sandbox_project work
# Create origin repos
cd sandbox_project
git init --bare
# Clone it
cd ../work
git clone ../sandbox_project
cd sandbox_project
# Create a few files :
# at each rev (A, B, C, D) we respectively create a fileA .. fileD
# at each rev, we also add a line to fileA
echo "This file was created in A" > fileA
git add .
git commit -a -m 'First revision'
git tag "revA"
for i in B C D; do
echo "This file was created in $i" >> file$i
echo "This change was done in $i" >> fileA
git add file$i
git commit -a -m "revision $i"
git tag "rev$i"
# We push changes to origin
git push origin master
Now, it looks like this :
$ git log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
* e3dc9b7 (HEAD, revD, origin/master, master) revision D
* e21fd6a (revC) revision C
* a9192ec (revB) revision B
* a16c9dd (revA) First revision
I want to remove what has been introduced in B and C :
$ git rebase -i HEAD~3
Automatic cherry-pick failed. After resolving the conflicts,
mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>', and
run 'git rebase --continue'
Could not apply e3dc9b7... revision D
$ git status
# Not currently on any branch.
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
# new file: fileD
# Unmerged paths:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution)
# both modified: fileA
Of course, there is a problem with fileA (problem I solved with my solution by applying a diff generated with -U0. Here, I edit fileA, remove conflicting lines, and continue rebase :
This file was created in A
This change was done in B
This change was done in C
This change was done in D
>>>>>>> e3dc9b7... revision D
is edited to be :
This file was created in A
This change was done in D
And then :
$ git add fileA
$ git rebase --continue
# leave mesasge as-is
[detached HEAD e2d4032] revision D
2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 fileD
Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master.
$ git push
To ../sandbox_project
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to '../sandbox_project'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about
fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.
Well, this looks normal to me, since I rebased, so I tried :
$ git pull
Auto-merging fileA
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in fileA
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
$ git log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
* e2d4032 (HEAD, master) revision D
* a16c9dd (revA) First revision
Again, fileA can not be merged since it has revisions B and C cruft. Here we go again, editing fileA, and removing changes introduces by and C.
Then :
$ git add fileA
$ git commit -a
[master b592261] Merge branch 'master' of ../sandbox_project
$ git push
Counting objects: 9, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done.
Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 674 bytes, done.
Total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To ../sandbox_project
e3dc9b7..b592261 master -> master
Looks fine, but :
$ git log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit
* b592261 (HEAD, origin/master, master) Merge branch 'master' of ../sandbox_project
| * e3dc9b7 (revD) revision D
| * e21fd6a (revC) revision C
| * a9192ec (revB) revision B
* | e2d4032 revision D
* a16c9dd (revA) First revision
While in the end, fileA is ok, I still have fileB and fileC I didn't want. And in the course of things, I had to resolve merging conflicts for fileA twice.
Any clue ?

Clerics' Daunting Task: Forming 9/11 Sermons
By DANIEL J. WAKIN
Published: September 8, 2002
It is the moment for the sermon of a lifetime.
While secular leaders are refraining from speechmaking — whether out of fear of inadequacy or a sincere sense of awe — it will be the preachers shaping the oratorical legacy of Wednesday's public recollection of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has decided that no original speeches will be uttered during the city's official commemorations. Instead, New Yorkers will hear the nation's secular scriptures: the Gettysburg Address, part of the Declaration of Independence and the Four Freedoms.
So, for better or for worse, the contemporary words that many New Yorkers take away as a frame for reflecting on Sept. 11 will come from the mouths of the clergy. It will fall to the city's priests and rabbis, imams and ministers, to give spiritual comfort and moral compass.
What they are being called on to do has the weight of greatness in America, where powerful religious oration goes back to the 18th century's Jonathan Edwards and perhaps America's first true celebrity, George Whitefield. Those men preached personal spiritual revival as part of the Great Awakening.
In their wake came the 19th century's itinerant preachers. "They were looked to as kind of the oracle for the community, people the community turned to in times of crisis for some sort of reassuring word," said Randall Balmer, a professor of religion at Barnard College.
In our time, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. achieved greatness by preaching against a social ill — racial inequality. The likes of Norman Vincent Peale and Reinhold Niebuhr did not shy away from pronouncements.
But the attack on the World Trade Center evokes a different need, a need to crystalize in words the meaning of the disaster.
Many clerics interviewed about their sermons last week say they would not even try to embrace grand themes. Others, days before the anniversary, were still groping for words. Still others saw it as an opportunity for a teachable moment for spiritual truths.
To find the words, clergy members said they would reach back for images to the days after the tragedy, to biblical stories, to the example of the selflessness of the rescuers. The Old Testament theme of the destruction of the Temple is on the minds of many members of the clergy.
The dean of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, the Rev. James A. Kowalski, said he had been questioning and listening to people about their thoughts for weeks to prepare.
The Rev. Calvin O. Butts 3rd has been reading the speeches of Dr. King, as well as the writings of Mr. Butts's predecessor as pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, the Rev. Samuel DeWitt Proctor, and biblical books, namely Genesis 11 and John 1.
He has been jotting notes on small yellow legal pads. He will try out ideas with his wife and grown children. He is well aware of the absence of political speech on Wednesday, but says this sermon has the same import as any.
"I have not allowed myself to become vain about this," he said. "I have certainly never thought that anything I might say would have any kind of overwhelming impact except on those who might be part of the worship experience."
The preachers' challenge is to utter universal truths without stumbling into the trite.
The rector of St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue, the Rev. Andrew C. Mead, said he was not afraid of "a very few terse platitudes and observations, like `Grief is the price we pay for love.' " Platitudes are helpful, he said, when every individual that day suffered a unique and vivid set of horrible experiences.
"When you talk too much about God and God's will and what the meaning of a terrible wound or tragedy is, there's almost something irreverent," he said. "It's very important to give the sufferers of the tragedy the room and the space they need to pray."
A professor of preaching at Duke University, Richard Lischer, advises preachers to place limits on their oratory and focus on Scriptures.
"Preaching is meant to interpret God's word for this particular moment in our history," Professor Lischer said. "But this is such an extraordinary moment that it may well be if we all listen to something together in which we can find ourselves, we will experience greater healing."
His advice for orators is a recipe for the non-momentous: Do not try to explain the attack's meaning or God's intent. Do not become emotional. Do not cavalierly say that good will come from it. Shun sentimentality and irony. Be a comfort.
Yet banally expressed platitudes can do more harm than good, said the Rev. Barbara Lundblad, associate professor of preaching at Union Theological Seminary.
"They at times become outright dangerous," she said, "because they can drive people away from faith, because they are so impossible to believe."
The disaster is absurd in its enormity, she said. "If pastors, preachers try somehow to make sense of it, I think we're going beyond what any of us know."
And while a year after may be the time for clerics to confront larger questions in a sermon — like America's role in the world, or what Ms. Lundblad considers to be an erosion of civil liberties — people may not be ready to hear that speech on Wednesday, she said.

The search is on for two robbers who stole from a man using an ATM.
A third man, who police say likely drove the suspects away from the scene, was later located and arrested.
Around 11:40 p.m. Sunday, two men, clad in dark clothing and masks, held up a man using an ATM at the Wells Fargo on the 4100 block of North Academy in Colorado Springs. The suspects allegedly placed a pistol to the victim's back and demanded his money.
A witness chased the two suspects, both who managed to get away in a gray 4-door Mazda. One dropped a BB gun while fleeing the scene.
The car was later abandoned at a nearby bowling alley. The owner, Sloan Gross, was found walking near the scene of the crime, and arrested. Gross, 19, faces charges related to the robbery. Police tell 11 News they believe Gross drove the other two suspects away from the scene.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Want to have some fun? Local New Orleans Saints fans say you should try tailgating
Published: Sunday, November 21, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 11:01 p.m.
HOUMA — Family and friends, food, fun and football.
According to Scott "Sparky" Sparks, these are the "Five F's" that fuel the soul of a hardcore tailgater.
Sparks, a River Ridge resident, brings this philosophy with him to every New Orleans Saints game he attends.
And guess what, Sparks is not the only one based on what someone is guaranteed to see outside the Louisiana Superdome on game days.
Golden Meadow natives Frank and Buffy Boura said they started tailgating at Saints games about three years ago.
That date coincides with them purchasing a popular tailgating tool: an RV.
"The reason we bought it (RV) was to be able to entertain with friends and family at the games," Buffy, 37, said. "We love it."
The Bouras already consider themselves veteran tailgaters thanks to the amount of road games they've attended.
Although rules vary from location to location, Buffy said they've managed to fit in and often times leave a destination having made new friends.
"That's what's so great about tailgating," she said referring to the relationships you form with others. "Take our trip to the Arizona Cardinals game for instance. We made friends with some people who were great to us. They showed us around the town and we now find ourselves e-mailing each other regularly."
Tyrone Griffin of Raceland, said he's been tailgating for Saints games for the past four years.
What started out as a simple set up out the back of his truck has transformed into a large gathering next to his RV on Sundays.
"When I first started this in a parking lot near the Dome, it didn't seem like there were near as many people doing it," Griffin, 47, said. "It's grown a lot over the years."
Griffin said he always has a large contingent of friends and family that show up for the tailgating parties.
To make sure people don't feel obligated to bring something with them to every game, Griffin came up with the cleaver idea of forming a tailgate committee.
"We do fundraisers to raise money for the tailgating we do," Griffin said. "The reason for it is not everybody's pocket book is as healthy as someone else's at all times. We want everyone to feel comfortable about coming out here, so we put in a lot of work during the summer so we can just focus on having fun during the season."
And what's on the menu on game days?
Griffin said he likes fixing oyster Rockefeller and grilled chicken, among other items.
"The only rule is all the wives have to bring a covered dish," he said.
The Bouras offerings are representative of the south Louisiana culture they are accustomed to.
"People, especially on the road love eating our food because it's so different from the other stuff they see," Buffy said. "We fix things like boiled crabs and shrimp, shrimp boulettes and white beans. I guess that's why we seem to make it on TV a lot."
Having tailgated across the country, Buffy said it didn't take her long to realize something: There's no place like home.
"Everywhere is different," she said. "Some places don't let you drink until a certain time, while others don't want you to play your music too loud. When we tailgate in New Orleans, it's just more fun because of the people and the atmosphere."
Griffin agrees.
"When they're [the Saints] away we don't know what to do with ourselves," Griffin said.
Griffin is planning on taking his first road tailgating trip this week when he and about 15 friends and family members head to Dallas for the Saints game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
"We're looking forward to it," he said. "It's a little new for us (to go on the road), but we're ready to go."
Buffy said most road locals treat her and her family well, but it doesn't compare with New Orleans.
"We'll invite the visiting fans as well as our own fans to come hang out with us," she said. "It's all about having a good time and enjoying each other's company."
Houma resident Tim McNabb, who tailgates with Sparks' Korner Krewe, said his group also makes vistors feel welcome.
The Korner Krewe was recently featured on an episode of the Food Network series "Tailgate Warriors with Guy Fieri."
"We have a blast with it," McNabb, 42, said in a previous interview with The Courier. "We show them (visitors) some good old southern hospitality. It keeps growing every year to where we've basically overtaken that lot."
And where are they today? In some lot preparing to have a good time for the game today between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome.
"Being out there on game days in New Orleans, there's just nothing like it," Griffin said.

I purchased two sets when they were on sale at the local HF. I didn't think they would be durable but I was surprised when I needed to use about 100 screws for wood construction. They did well and did not wear. I did not use long screws or screw into hard maple but for 3/4 ply and 2x4s, the bits held up well. I used three different sizes.The colors made it quick and easy to spot and choose as I changed screw sizes. I plan on buying a few more sets when they go on sale again.

Was helping build a Christmas parade float and needed to remove some power drive screws with square recessed head--in a hurry, of course. After about a dozen screws, the square corners of the bit tip had rounded off so badly the screws didn't try to turn at all. Fortunately my son-in-law had some good bits in his shop a few miles away.

So grateful to have found these. I live in a travel trailer and nearly everything has those ridiculous square headed screws. I was finally able to remove my registers to clean under them and with this set having three sizes I am sure I will be able to complete any other tasks.

Great Place to go for something special
By Fernie" The Happy
from Oxnard, CA. 93030
Yes, as usual when you are in a hurry for something, unexpected things will arise, I was planning to replace a pop up camper awning canvas and tough it will be easy task, assuming that I have a complete mechanics set of tools but, I found myself wit screws can't be removed by any of my several sets of drivers, square heads in the screws!!!, so I went to harbor freight in Ventura and embarrassingly asked one of the floor employees about it, She kindly and with a smile took me over and show me that set that has not only the one I was in the need!! has three different sizes of the *&^ square holes in the "New Hardware" this manufacturers are using with no sense only to make easy money but, thanks to Harbor Freight and the friendly staff" that solved my "problema" and again, with a smile, made my day. Thanks to Harbor Freight in Ventura and Camarillo that are located in my vicinity, assuming all the rest of them will do the same way for a people in need of "THIS SPECIAL TOOLS" great tools and value, Note: I replaced all those screws with regular Phillips, look Better!!

Until the 1950s, Arizona had a population of just 750,000. Things started to take off with the advent of affordable air conditioning and an influx of veterans from World War II.
But one particular wave of residents helped define the state's new image: retirees, moving to Arizona for its year-long sunshine and inexpensive swimming pools.
The first real retirement community in the Phoenix area was Youngtown, almost 30 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix. In 1954, the Youngtown Development Co. was formed to oversee a 320-acre community dedicated to retirees. Many believe it was the first development intended specifically for people over 60. By 1955, 125 homes had been built in Youngtown. The next year, the community was featured on the TV show, "Wide Wide World" as the newest trend in retirement. In 1960, Youngtown was incorporated, and put in place new rules requiring that most of its residents must be retirees.
At the time, developer Del Webb had been constructing office buildings and casinos in Arizona and Nevada. But he saw the potential for the outlying area of Phoenix to become a mecca for retirees who wanted to golf and play tennis in the sunshine all year. He opened his first Sun City, not far from Youngtown, in 1960. More than 2,000 homes sold during the first year in the original Sun City, which also built on the age-restriction idea. Most residents today are required to be 55 or older.
Today, there are several Sun Cities in Arizona and more than a dozen of the active-adult communities spanning from Sacramento, Calif. to the East Coast. Communities modeled after Sun City have even been developed in Japan, Spain and Germany.
In metro Phoenix, former employees of Del Webb and other developers saw the popularity of the first Sun City and built similar communities in the East Valley. Sun Lakes and Sunland Village are two of the largest, and continue to expand with new neighborhoods.
Sixty years later, Arizona still ranks in the top three states for people to retire.

This plugin was amazing, but doesn't work with 4.2.4 WP as of Version 1.0.5. Hope the author will fix it soon.
This plugin Doesn't work! I Waste MY Time!!
The best!!!
Like most of you, you scoured WP php insert plugins but none did the job.
Don't get me wrong, custom PHP sometimes is the fastest sweetest way to get precise jobs down. But in this case, to have this conditional content option on every page available to me, is awesome.
..now if I can just have a redirect page as an option.. well, I'd have to just blow my brains out because it would make my day... the final stretch.. but I'm confident that the finishing touch is near.
PS it works with 4.2.2
btw for those interested.. I tried adding JS into the body of the 'blocked' message, and User Specific Content or WP would have none of it. Stripped off as a security measure I'm sure.
With great plugins like this one, users depend on the maintainance cycle of the developer more than with other (non-content related) plugins. I hope that this developer will maintain the plugin at least to stay up to date with future WordPress versions.
Kind Regards
Peter Luit
great support
easy to use

thank you.
I have been using this plugin since 2012, you forget how much you use something until it stops working! Good to have the short code working again.
It does what is says on the box in a simple but effective manner.
Thanks so much.
Very useful if you have to manage an e-commerce with specific user content !!
Please add the same functionality to WooCommerce entries. Would really help with user specific products that you want to allow them to reorder easily.

Suspect could be deported after allegedly attacking woman
A man accused in an attack on a woman in front of her young child is being detained by Customs officials and could be deported.
Nicholas: Each election cycle the Democrats lie to the citizenry that it care about America, it values and opportunities. In reality, the Democrat Party is comprised of Socialists, Communists, "Black Panthers", "Black Lives Matters, Illegal Immigrants and Muslim refugees. Is that population a reflection of America? What is their American Dream? Trump's critics attack him because of his claim that America has made bad deals on trade. Yet, Hillary has made hundreds of deals with foreign countries, corporations and millionaires for her personal gain. That gain amounted to $155,000,000 in the first 10 years after she and Bill left the White House supposedly *broke." Suddenly, Hillary is saying she is going to renegotiate deals. This woman flips positions more than a fish out if water. Her principles change based on what she determines will give her what she wants. Bill told the world last night that Hillary is hard on the outer side but soft on the inside. Hillary is hard, hateful and vengeful. Period! She is unscrupulous, capable of doing or ordering ANYTHING to get what she wants. Remember, Bill said, "I did not have sex with that woman." Hillary said, "I did not use personal email for Government secrets." These two "have no capacity for embarrassment."

OAPs could face means tests on benefits after all, according to hints dropped by Cameron
Explosive proposals: The plans were dropped at the last minute from David Cameron's speech on welfare reform
Pensioner benefits such as free bus passes and the winter fuel allowance could be means-tested after the next election, David Cameron hinted for the first time yesterday.
During the 2010 election campaign, Mr Cameron pledged to retain these benefits for all pensioners regardless of income, dismissing Labour claims that they would be cut as 'lies, lies, lies'.
But asked yesterday if the payments, which also include free prescriptions and eye tests, could be means-tested if he wins a second term, he replied: 'At the next election we will have to set out all our plans and be very clear about what they are. Between now and then I want us to have this debate and ask these difficult questions.'
He has come under pressure to reconsider the pledge in order to ease pressure on other parts of the welfare budget.
Meanwhile, the Institute for Fiscal Studies thinktank claimed yesterday that middle class pensioners should be taxed more heavily to cover the cost of caring for the elderly.
It said that better-off pensioners have seen their incomes go up over
the past 15 years and so they should bear the burden of paying for
changes to the means-test system that decides who pays for care home
Possible new taxes include making people living on private pensions pay National Insurance contributions and taxing lump sums paid when workers retire.
IFS director Paul Johnson acknowledged that loading higher taxes on to middle class pensioners would be 'painful'.
But his report said that pensioner incomes have risen almost as fast as general incomes since 1999, and four out of ten pensioners are now among the richest half of the population
Ministers have been planning an overhaul of the benefits system and the latest proposal to be considered include plans to pay Northerners lower benefits.
People in parts of the country where the cost of living is cheaper could receive less in Jobseekers' Allowance, housing benefit and disability benefits than those in more expensive areas.
In practice, this would mean lower benefits in places such as Middlesbrough and Merseyside and higher welfare payments in pricier areas such as Oxford or Bath.
The latest proposals were considered so explosive that they were dropped from David Cameron's major speech on welfare reform yesterday at the last minute.
But employment minister Chris Grayling last night confirmed in the Commons that regional benefits were being considered.
The Prime Minister yesterday unveiled a string of proposals to reform the £84billion system of out-of-work benefits. They included:
- Breaking the historic link between benefits and inflation. Benefit rises could be capped at the level of average wage increases where these are lower than inflation.
- Forcing single mothers to start looking for work when their children reach the age of three. Mr Cameron said free childcare provision meant parents were able to do some work even before their children start school.
- Requiring jobless people to draw up a CV and learn basic skills such as reading, writing and counting in order to claim the dole.
- Reducing the £20,000-a-year cap on housing benefit payments.
- Rebranding jobseekers as 'claimants', rather than 'customers'.
In a speech at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, Mr Cameron said there was a 'welfare gap' between people on long-term benefits and those in work.
'Those within it grow up with a series of expectations – you can have a home of your own, the state will support you whatever decisions you make, you will always be able to take out no matter what you put in,' he said.
Higher cost of living: Meanwhile benefits would be higher in places like Bath (pictured)
'This has sent out some incredibly damaging signals. That it pays not to work. That you are owed something for nothing.'
The Prime Minister said he hoped to get some of the ideas into law before the next election, due in 2015. But most are being considered for the next Tory manifesto.
Liberal Democrat sources yesterday said there was little prospect of their party signing up to further significant welfare reforms before the election.
A senior source said: 'This was very much a Conservative Prime Minister talking to a Conservative audience about proposals for their next manifesto – these are not things that are currently being discussed in Government.'
And Jenny Willott, a Lib Dem whip, said she has 'serious concerns' about some of Mr Cameron's proposals.
Meanwhile, housing minister Grant Shapps will today announce plans designed to make it easier for people in low-paid jobs to get a council house.
Guidance issued to local authorities will enable them to give working families higher priority on the waiting list.

Leading Indicators Point to Higher U.S. Stocks: Chart of the Day
Anyone expecting U.S. stocks to sustain their bull market has the index of leading economic indicators on their side, according to Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC.
The CHART OF THE DAY compares the performance of the Conference Board Leading Economic Index with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index during the past 20 years, as Greenhaus did yesterday in a note to clients.
The economic barometer rose 0.7 percent in September to 97.1, the New York-based Conference Board said yesterday. The gain surpassed economists' median estimate of 0.6 percent in a Bloomberg survey, and the latest reading was the highest since April 2008. The index has fallen only once since September 2012.
"Those calling for a 'top' in equities are likely to be thwarted a bit longer," Greenhaus wrote, based on September's results. Although the leading index is partly based on the S&P 500, which soared 162 percent from its March 2009 low through yesterday, the New York-based strategist wrote that the gauge "has been a helpful indicator of stock price performance."
The record for the economic index was set in March 2006, and the S&P 500 concluded a five-year bull market the following year. The previous peak was recorded in April 2000, weeks after the end of a multiyear surge paced by Internet-related stocks. Both highs are circled in the chart.
Along with the S&P 500, interest rates, jobless claims, consumer confidence and manufacturing orders are among the 10 components of the Conference Board's barometer. The index was set to 100 in 2004.
