For many, the path to an eco-friendly home starts in the bathroom. This is the place where water flows freely, paper products run wild and tile cleaners contain toxins. But there are quick, easy steps that can make your throne room fit for green royalty. Try some of the following tips to turn the room where you clean your body, beautify your face and dispose of unmentionables into the cleanest, greenest room in your home.
1. Clear the air.
Excess humidity causes mold, which can spur allergies, asthma and other breathing troubles. Cooking, cleaning, showering and even exhaling can raise your home's humidity — and since the bathroom is usually the most humid room, it's a good idea to ventilate it. Open your windows. Install exhaust vents. Bring in a fan. By moving air out of the bathroom, you'll remove the moisture that mold needs to grow. And if there's no toxic mold, there's no need to use bleach or other harmful chemicals.
Another way to clean the air is to place oxygen-producing plants in the bathroom. They'll not only reduce humidity, but will also absorb a variety of indoor air pollutants. The spider plant is a great option since it doesn't need direct sunlight and likes light watering. Here's a helpful list of air-purifying houseplants to choose from.
2. Conserve water.
Conserving water is perhaps the simplest, most cost-effective and eco-friendliest way to green your latrine. Just turning off the water while you brush your teeth, for example, can save you up to 240 gallons a month. You can also cut back by taking showers instead of baths — a five-minute shower can use as little as 14 percent of the water used during a bath. Don't forget to install a low-flow shower head, too, which can reduce your water consumption by up to 50 percent. And make sure to fix all your leaky faucets: A leak that drips once per second can rob you of 3,000 gallons a year.
3. Replace or retrofit your toilet.
According to the EPA, a high-efficiency toilet can save a typical family of four $90 a year. Look for low-flow toilets that use less than 1.3 gallons per flush; older models use at least 3.5, and some use twice that. Don't want to invest in a whole new commode? You can also retrofit your existing throne by installing a controllable flush handle. Put a sealed soda bottle or pebbles in your tank to instantly reduce water consumption. If you really want to go the extra green mile, get a composting toilet.
4. Pick green products.
Don't forget to invest in recycled toilet paper. Seventh Generation has some great options — you won't be able to tell the difference between recycled and virgin. Consider investing in a green shower curtain, too. It may be hard to imagine using anything but vinyl, since it's about the only material that doesn't mold up, but vinyl shower curtains can release more than 100 different toxic chemicals into the air, including at least two — toluene and ethylbenzene — that cause cancer, according to a 2008 report by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice. Consider trading your toxic bleach cleaning products for vinegar, too. And for the serious greenies: This living moss bath mat will absorb water and dry your feet.
5. Tile it ceramic.
And finally, for the eco-conscious consumers mulling a complete remodel of their bathrooms: Consider ceramic tiling. Ceramic tiling is not easily damaged by moisture, and some can be made in a low-impact manufacturing process. You can easily purchase environmentally friendly tile, such as these tiles made from "55-75 percent recycled, post-industrial and post-consumer glass such as car windshields, bottles."

After supporting repeal of Second Amendment, Californians target the First
Paul Joseph Watson
April 15, 2013
Following their support for repealing the Second Amendment, liberals in California evidently have a new target in their sights – the First Amendment. A video by social analyst Mark Dice shows Obama supporters signing a petition to ban free speech.
Playing the role of a big government liberal, Dice told respondents that people who disagree with Obama are racists and extremists and should have their constitutional right to speak out annulled.
"This will repeal the First Amendment so that those right-wingers can't say hateful things about Obama. I'm tired of these people having the right to say what they want to say….you don't have the right to disagree with Obama these days in these tough times," Dice told one Obama supporter as he readily agreed and signed the petition.
Others were told that the petition was to "repeal the First Amendment of the Tea Party and anyone who criticizes Obama."
"You just repealed the First Amendment," Dice told another man who signed the petition, to which the man responded by nodding enthusiastically.
Another black man who signed the petition agreed with Dice when he said that Republicans shouldn't be allowed free speech, responding "it's getting pretty bad."
When told that freedom of speech has its limits and that everyone should get behind Obama, another black lady responded, "mmmm hmmm, it only goes so far."
Just as we witnessed in Dice's previous video showing Californians signing a petition to repeal the right to own firearms, the most disturbing aspect of this is not that some people are in a total trance and will agree to sign anything, but that many of them actually vehemently agree with abolishing fundamental liberties.
Only two of the people in the clip – the ones who actually read the petition – refused to sign it.

Marcus Jastrow's Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature is a classic reference work and the standard dictionary on Talmudic literature. The subjects of this dictionary, writes Jastrow, "are as unlimited as are the interests of the human mind." With his Dictionary, Jastrow made Talmudic studies accessible for English scholars, and helped establish the study of rabbinic texts as a mainstream scholarly enterprise in America.
Jastrow's Dictionary contains over 30,000 individual entries, and covers nearly every word in the Talmud. For each entry, Jastrow defines the term, offers examples of use, and provides numerous cross-references. He also includes the etymology for many words, and countless quotations and illustrations from the rabbinic literature. Jastrow's Dictionary is also noted for its brevity. Reviewers throughout the past century have noted Jastrow's concise style, and his avoidance of tangential and irrelevant material—common in many other similar dictionaries.
With the Logos Bible Software edition of Jastrow's Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature, you have instant access to over 30,000 Hebrew and Aramaic entries at the click of a mouse! By promoting the dictionary in your KeyLink preferences, you can double-click any Hebrew or Aramaic word in any book in your library, and Jastrow's Dictionary will automatically open to the exact entry you're looking for! This dictionary is also fully searchable, which means you can find words and phrases buried deep within individual entries. All cross-references between entries are linked, making navigating the electronic edition of Jastrow's Dictionary infinitely faster and easier than the cumbersome and difficult-to-read print editions.
This dictionary is a vital addition to the libraries of scholars who study rabbinic literature. Jastrow's detailed and meticulously researched study of Hebrew and Aramaic terms will also benefit scholars of the Hebrew Bible, as well as scholars of the Hebrew and Aramaic languages.
In my judgment, Dr. Jastrow has been the most important single man in the development of Judaism in the United States during the last thirty years. [While] others have been more prominent in the public eye, history finds the secret of influence in those who dominate the minds of the popularizers.
—Mayer Sulzberger, Jewish Communal Leader
Marcus Jastrow was born on June 5, 1829 in the town of Posen, in Prussia (now Poland). He received a Ph.D. from the University of Halle in 1855. In 1858, he returned to Poland—this time to Warsaw—and became rabbi of a German congregation. He became involved with the patriotic Polish party and the Polish revolution, for which he was imprisoned between 1862 and 1866.
In 1866, Jastrow left Poland for America, when the Congregation Rodeph Shalom of Philadelphia called him. During this time, he began writing prolifically, both in German and English. His significant contributions to Jewish scholarship include a new translation of the Bible into English by the Jewish Publication Society, numerous articles on the Talmud for the Jewish Encyclopedia, and his magnum opus, A Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature. To the dictionary, he devoted two decades of his life, and completed the final page just days before his death in 1903.

Hidden extras: cholera comes to Victorian London
Silver snuff boxes, United Kingdom, presented in 1832 and 1850
Faeces with your fish, madam?
Excrement with your ice cream, sir?
While these were not menu options you would expect to be offered in Victorian London, there was a reasonable chance you might have got them anyway. London was the largest city in the world in the 1800s, a city overwhelmed by the waste products of its ever-growing population. Overcrowded into decaying, stinking slums, the poorest citizens were literally surrounded by their own filth. Piled up in courtyards or overflowing from basement cesspits, into which toilets were drained, raw sewage was everywhere, and so was its stench.
The spread of cholera
In such conditions disease was inevitable, but Victorian London's experience of cholera in 1832 would have a huge social impact. Spread via the bacteria-laced diarrhoea of its victims, cholera's violent and rapid assault on the human body was terrifying. Although it killed fewer than other contemporary diseases - such as influenza or tuberculosis - it was cholera that provided a deadly backdrop to this era of social and economic upheaval. There was no known cure - although plenty were offered by quacks. Commonly known as Asiatic cholera, it seized the public's imagination with India, supposedly the crown jewel in Britain's expanding empire, identified as its origin.
Poor housing and slums in London
The appearance of cholera prompted debate about the nature of the emerging society. From the slums of India to the equally filthy slums of London, was this the price to pay for the gruesome urban landscapes being created in Britain? And for the ruling classes, the dark, hidden alleyways of much of London were just as strange and exotic as the back streets of Delhi. In the wake of the 1848-49 epidemic, social reformer Henry Mayhew voiced the connection, describing the centre of the outbreak, Bermondsey, as 'the very capital of cholera, the Jessore of London' - Jessore being the Indian town from where a major cholera pandemic was believed to have originated in 1817. Driven by a combination of genuine concern for the poor and self-preservation by the elite, the fear of cholera became a crucial element in the development of public health in Britain. It inspired some of the first investigations into the living conditions endured by much of the population.
Chadwick: the link between disease and living conditions
In the wake of the cholera epidemic, leading social reformer Edwin Chadwick was commissioned to inquire into the state of public sanitation. His report, The Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population (1842), made a clear link between disease and living conditions and he called for urgent action. By 1848, when The Times was describing cholera as 'the best of all sanitary reformers', Chadwick had been appointed to the first Board of Health and was Sanitary Commissioner of London. He now had the power to change things. But his actions were firmly guided by the miasma theory of disease. To eliminate sources of foul air through which diseases were thought to spread, he supported the rapid removal of human waste through improvements to the disorganised sewage and drainage systems. Unfortunately this led to a greater flow of raw sewage into the River Thames - the main source of drinking water for London. By further contaminating London's water supply, the risk of cholera was greatly increased.
Snow and the study of the spread of diseases
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Dr John Snow was no miasmatist - he publicly stated in 1849 that cholera was transmitted through water. He was already researching links between water supply and deaths from cholera when the disease returned in 1854. This time, a single water supply - the Broad Street pump - was contaminated by a single domestic sewer pipe. As a result, hundreds of local people were rapidly poisoned after visiting the well, or from eating or drinking the products made using its waters. The outbreak provided Snow with the epidemiological ammunition to confirm his theory.
Parliamentary action - a new sewer system
Unfortunately the importance of Snow's work was not immediately recognised; the belief in miasmas would last for a little longer. Appropriately it was the Great Stink of 1858 that ultimately banished cholera for good. Unable to ignore the stench of the Thames and fearful of the miasmatic belief that 'all smell is disease', parliament sanctioned one of the century's great engineering projects - a new sewer network for London. Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, the first section was opened in 1865.
The slow effects of government intervention
The following year cholera returned one final time. The circumstances both justified the expense of Bazalgette's sewers and provided further evidence for Snow's theory, evidence that would persuade leading sceptics, including pioneering epidemiologist William Farr. The victims of this outbreak were almost entirely confined to areas of east London not yet connected to the new sewers. These slum dwellers were left with little option but to drink water contaminated by the faeces of fellow Londoners. For them - as for thousands of their London predecessors, and their Indian counterparts - reform simply didn't come quickly enough.

Advice to Tea Partiers
The Tea Party movement may endure, but its endurance will be a testament to its ability to understand that cutting government means having a long‐term focus, says John Samples, author of the Cato book The Struggle to Limit Government. In a new video, Samples outlines an assessment of what Tea Partiers should do if they want to sustain an effort to cut government.
He offers five pieces of advice for members of the Tea Party movement:
1. Republicans aren't always your friends.
2. Some tea partiers like big government.
3. Democrats aren't always your enemies.
4. Smaller government demands restraint abroad.
5. Leave social issues to the states.

Global Tactical Asset Allocation Strategy
The Global Multi-Asset team believes that global multi-asset class investing presents opportunities to generate excess return due to structural inefficiencies such as home-country bias and the tendency for a majority of investors to focus on security selection. In addition, regions and countries have independent economic drivers, which often give rise to uncorrelated investment opportunities. We also believe that investors have a tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future, mistaking cyclical dynamics for structural changes, and vice versa. We therefore invest around major macro-economic turning points, where we think investors are most likely to misprice assets amid changing dynamics.
Thematic Approach to Multi-Asset Class Investing
We apply a global macro and thematic approach to multi-asset investing, focusing on major macroeconomic shifts and structural transformations which may give rise to asymmetric risk/ reward opportunities.
Long-standing, Disciplined Approach
Fundamentally-driven, discretionary process supported by quantitative tools.
Disciplined Risk Management
The Global Multi-Asset team offers investors access to an investment approach focusing on opportunities arising from macroeconomic changes and structural transformations that have not yet been discounted in valuations. The team's investment process seeks to identify attractive risk/reward opportunities based on three primary criteria: valuation, fundamental dynamics, and sentiment. The team believes that these three tools are most powerful when used in combination. The team invests in opportunities at the asset class, country, sector and thematic levels, rather than concentrating on individual security selection.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The overwhelming majority of CPAs say they have a role to play in technology adoption for their clients, and almost 40 percent see themselves as catalysts for innovation, according to a recent survey by the American Institute of CPAs.
Only 17 percent of CPAs say they play a minimal role or no part in helping clients embrace cloud, mobile and other emerging technologies that can improve business decision-making, according to the survey, released today at Digital CPA: 2012 CPA2Biz Cloud User Conference. The event – hosted by CPA2Biz, the technology subsidiary of the AICPA – showcases strategies for firms looking to deliver accounting services and back office operations through the cloud.
"We're at a defining moment in the accounting profession," said Erik Asgeirsson, president and CEO of CPA2Biz. "It's now possible for small- and medium-sized businesses to tap powerful technologies that make them more productive and offer faster, better insight into financial decision-making. But most of these companies need a tech-savvy business advisor to help them take advantage of these opportunities, and that's a role CPAs are uniquely qualified to fill."
Some 11 percent of CPA firms already operate completely in the cloud, and so have a strong incentive for getting their clients to use digital technologies, too, according to the survey, which polled 624 AICPA members representing a mix of small to large public accounting firms from Sept. 12-28. Another third use professional grade cloud solutions - such as bill management, accounting or payroll applications, - in some parts of their practice.
The biggest barriers to cloud adoption remain security concerns, change management and skepticism about the technology's value proposition, the survey found. Respondents were also asked to list the biggest benefits. In order, they are:
1) The ability to work virtually or expand beyond current geographic reach
2) No worries about software updates, maintenance or troubleshooting
3) Better assurance of business continuity and disaster recovery
4) Productivity improvements
5) The ability to offer new service lines to clients
6) Better visibility into CPA firm and client finances
The first day of the Digital CPA conference features a discussion of the economic outlook for small businesses by William Dunkelberg, chief economist of the National Federation of Independent Business, as well as post-election analysis by political commentator George Will. Tomorrow's highlights include keynotes by Asgeirsson, AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA, and Geoffrey A. Moore, business strategist and bestselling author of "Crossing the Chasm." Moore will discuss original research he conducted on the cloud and client accounting services. For more information, visit digitalcpa.com.

Mitt loses, even if he pulls out win. But what does a loss mean?
What happens now? I just arrived in New Hampshire, where everyone expects Mitt Romney to win, but that really isn't the point.
Romney showed, once again, in the Iowa caucuses that he has the same old problems with the right wing of his party. He got about the same percentage of the vote that he got in Iowa in 2008. Conservatives don't think he's conservative enough. Voters wonder whether he's human enough. Democrats will rip him as a flip-flopper. He still has trouble on the campaign trail coming off as, well, not Al Gore-like. The question that remains, though, is who can beat him.
Rick Santorum was a few votes – literally, a few – ahead of Romney as I'm writing this. But will the not-Romneys coalesce around Santorum? He doesn't have money, and it's not clear how much he can raise. He lived off the land in Iowa, but winter's here, and I don't if there's anything left to scrounge. He hasn't really faced any scrutiny. He's way out there on social issues, even by GOP standards. What I mean is, it's not just abortion. It's contraception.
But here's what he has. He'll have Rush, I'm guessing. We saw that Rupert Murdoch tweeted – yes, tweeted — for Santorum. It has to be someone, right? Can it really be the guy who lost his last Senate race . . . by . . . 18 . . . points?
What of Newt? Did you see him on TV? Did you see a guy who has a way to victory? He looked, well, like the old Newt — the angry Newt. He was calling Mitt a liar on Tuesday morning, and we'll see what he's calling him by Wednesday. Certainly, he'll go after Romney hard, but how much money does Newt have? He may have to hock some jewels if he wants to go at Romney on the air.
Ron Paul, meanwhile, was Ron Paul. He'll remain Ron Paul for the rest of the race. For the liberals out there who like Paul's foreign policy – or lack of it – check out Kevin Drum's smackdown in Mother Jones.
Rick Perry is about to secede. No one knows why Michele Bachmann hasn't dropped out of the race.
If Paul is not a factor – and he's not – then there's only Santorum and Gingrich. Maybe Romney really can win by losing.
Update: Or he can win by winning. Last call: Mitt wins by 8.

Perfect Man (company web site: http://www.howtomeetyourperfectman.com)
We are a company bringing feel-good approaches to life (especially for women). We believe that one way for women to feel even happier in their lives is by finding the right men. We are looking for a logo that will be used on our website and on our products (email marketing, business cards, etc.)

DIGITAL EARTH – The New "Search" for Energy
A vertical search site for the energy sector but incorporating many Web 2.0 technologies (wiki's, social networks, etc.). Currently in the build stage. At the moment we're focused on some rich opportunities in the Oil and Gas sector, but in the future may want to branch out into alternative energy or other sectors with a geographical search component.
What we need is a bit of a balancing act. On one hand our early customers are companies like Exxon or Shell so we need something with at least a little bit of gravitas / seriousness.
On the other hand we're looking to be a modern disruptive force (a la Google or Zoominfo... but in a narrower niche) so something a little brighter and playful is also called for.
The other themes that can be worked into the logo are anything to do with data, digital, information, as well as search, the earth and maps.
The logo will be used on letterheads, business cards, advertising , websites, etc...
- Something serious looking but fresh. So strong but bold colors would be nice (for example the sample colors on the http://www.Divestco.com website attached - shame about the bland logo).
- In addition to the above one wants to ideally have a logo that still looks reasonable / recognizable when photocopied in black and white.
- Needs to be a logo that can be used with or without the name Digital Earth (in fact the current logo is little more than those words).
- A logo that can also, where appropriate, be used in conjunction with the name Digital Earth and the "tag line" which is "THE NEW SEARCH FOR ENERGY" (where search could refer to the "search for energy" or "search in the Google sense").
- A good example would be the Total Logo (Website also linked.. see http://www.total.com ). I like this logo as it hints at "the earth", but is still abstract enough not to be just another globe... the rest of the website is a little busy though.
- Nothing too complicated- Nothing exclusively identified with Oil and Gas or even energy per se.
- Nothing with a traditional globe or earth in it (there are too many of those already).
- It's an international site so nothing identified with a particular region or country.
- Don't want anything that is to close to our competitors (for example : http://www.ihs.com ).
- NOTE: We seem to be getting a lot of actual globes, as well as leaves, and "de" logos... we don't want any of these. If there is anything Globe-like we'd like it to be very graphic and abstract. I only mention it here since there were some leaf and globe designs early on that seem to be influencing subsequent designs (I'll eliminate these to avoid confusion).

The Count Counts is a Sesame Street concept album, which presents a radio broadcast of The Count's Countdown series, on the FM-style radio station "Radio 1-2-3", complete with station jingles, news, weather, and commercials. Also featured on this album are several alternate versions of songs originally found in Bud Luckey's animated Sesame Street shorts, here performed by Jerry Nelson (as the Alligator King and others), Richard Hunt and Jim Henson (as the Amazing Slim).
The station broadcasts "direct from the Sesame Street Studios high above Hooper's Candy Store," with Guy Smiley as station ID and commercial announcer.
This album was later released as part of the 2-LP set, The Count Presents Numbers. The album was made available for the first time on CD on the 3-disc set Old School: Volume 2 in 2010, along with The Year of Roosevelt Franklin and Grover Sings the Blues.
The album was adapted into an episode of the show as Episode 1045.

Yes!!!!This was my first ever U2 concert, I was 12 years old and it was soooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!!!!! I still remember before they came onstage and 'All you Need is Love' was playing, the whole crowd was singing along. It was so exciting! When I heard the opening bars of 'Where The Streets Have No Name', the hairs on the back of me neck stood up (they still do) and the feeling of elation was just so amazing! BB King was brilliant opening up for them too. I remember my sister and I screaming our heads off when Bono did a mini striptease during 'God Part 2'. Just one thing though, it was at Memorial Drive not the Entertainment Centre.
24 March, 2010
Memorial DriveSlight error guys. The concert was an outdoor concert at Memorial Drive Tennis Centre, not the Adelaide Ent Centre. This was my first ever U2 gig and wow, what a night. Bono slipped and fell off stage ironically during "I will follow". Streets was brilliant and still get the hairs on the back of my kneck rissing when thinking of the stage backing turining red.

A wandering bear was on the move for about an hour Wednesday morning north of Los Angeles with squad cars and a helicopter on its tail as it scaled fences and surprised several horses in their corrals.
The bear was first seen in the Shadow Hills area, about 20 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.
"He was probably just trying to find a spot where he feels comfortable, safe and can find a food source," said California Fish and Wildlife Department warden J.C. Healy. "This is the time of year -- there are bigger males looking for food, and in the animal world, they're going to compete and push the little guy out."
The black bear surprised two horses as it emerged from a backyard, then walked through another corral that contained three horses a few blocks away. The bear scaled a fence around the second corral and walked along the top of it until leaping back to the ground and trotting under a tree.
Police in squad cars and an airship followed the bear, which was first spotted along Clybourn Avenue at about 6:30 a.m.
"We deploy officers like we look for suspects," said LAPD Sgt. Rudy Lopez.
Officers and at least one California Department of Fish and Wildlife agent -- armed with a tranquilizer dart gun -- cornered the bear under trees along Wentworth Street. Aerial video showed agents loading the tranquilized bear into the bed of a pickup.
"The California black bear is very docile, very timid, very afraid of people -- so they're going to do what they can to get away from people," said Healy. "But the general rule of thumb with wild animals is don't take their food source and don't get in front of mom and her cubs.
"Right now, he's just looking to get away from people."
The bear had a tracking tag attached to its right ear, indicating that wildlife officials were in contact before with the bear. The bear was tagged just a few weeks ago in a Santa Clarita neighborhood, about 20 miles northwest of Shadow Hills, Healy said.
The warden planned to transport the bear to a wildlife area, likely the nearby Angeles National Forest. The bear was sedated about four minutes after he was struck with the tranquilizer dart.
"I'm going to sit with him for a while until he wakes up and watch him walk off," Healy said after hoisting the bear into the pickup.
Healy estimated the 2- to 3-year-old male bear weighs about 150 pounds

Who are the most partisan, ideologically polarized people in politics? The rich.
That's true of both parties, according to the new book, "The Unheavenly Chorus: Unequal Political Voice and the Broken Promise of American Democracy," from the political scientists Kay Schlozman, Sidney Verba and Henry Brady and published by Princeton University Press.
For those worried about gridlock and partisanship in California and elsewhere, it's an academic book that's worth picking up.
U.S. & World
Among the most interesting sections of the book is when it breaks down why partisanship and polarization are on the rise. For most of the electorate, very little has changed, with Democrats and Republicans about as ideological and partisan as they were in previous generations.
But at the top of both parties, the picture is different. Indeed, polarization seems to be a problem of the rich. In the top 20 percent by income of people of both parties, ideological polarization -- that is the Democrats moving left and the Republicans moving right -- has increased substantially, much more so than it has among others in the spectrum.
Such polarization is blamed for gridlock and incivility and a lack of compromise. Which means that our broken politics may be another thing for which we came blame the rich.

HOW TO: Convert An SVN Repository To Git3
Following on from last weeks blog post, I'm still going through the process of moving my SVN repos over to Git. Whilst last weeks method was a straight dump of files and losing all the revision history, this morning I've been attempting to actually convert the svn repo so that all the revision history is maintained.
This post provides a step by step guide on how I succeeded in converting an SVN repo to a Git repo. Whilst the requirements and commands worked well for me, if you're on an OS other than Windows you might need to find your OS equivalents.
My scenario involves converting a remote SVN repo to Git, and then pushing it to a new remote Git repo.
- SlikSVN -I used the latest version from here
- Git – I used the latest version from here | Alternatives here
- If your SVN repo is on your local machine then skip to step #5
- The first step was to create a dump of my remote SVN repo. This was quite straightforward as I use XP-Dev who provide a feature to export repos. If you don't have an easy to use interface you can try rsvndump
- On your local machine create a new svn repo to load your dump into. You can use Tortoise SVN, or the following command:
svnadmin create your-new-repo-name
- From this step onwards, make sure you're using Git Bash and not Command Prompt (unless you've got Git configured to work in Command Prompt)
Use the following command to load your dump file into your new repo:
svnadmin load your-new-repo-name < your-dump-file.dump
- Before you start loading your SVN repo into Git, you'll need to map your SVN users to into the Git author format.
To do this just create a new text file called authors.txt and enter all the svn users who've accessed that repo in the following format:
svnusername = Git Username <gitemailaddress>
ashraf.vali = Ashraf Vali <[email protected]>
Where 'ashraf.vali' is the svn user, and the rest is what my Git credentials will be.
- Now that you've got everything you need, you can run the Git command which will import your SVN repo into the Git format:
At this point I would recommend going to #3 of the troubleshooting section below and following the steps to install the svnserve service, but you can try running this command first to see if it works without.
git svn clone file:///pathto/your-new-repo-name new-git-repo-name –no-metadata -A authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk
You should now have your SVN repo successfully converted into a Git repo. If you encounter any username errors, just modify your authors.txt file to make sure you include the missing usernames.
Uploading The New Git Repo To A Remote Repo
Now that you've got a local Git repo, you can move onto uploading it all to a remote repository
- Move into your newly create Git repo using the cd command:
cd new-git-repo-name
- Set the remote origin of your Git repo to the remote repo URL
git remote add origin ssh://your-remote-repo-url
- Push everything to the remote repo
git push --all
Everything from your SVN repo should now be in your remote Git repo, including the entire revision history!
Here's a few problems that you might come across, and their solutions
- Initialized empty Git repository in X:/new-git-repo-name/.git/
E: 'trunk' is not a complete URL and a separate URL is not specifiedTo fix this make sure you put 'file:///' before the full path to your SVN repo
In my case it was:
git svn clone file:///F:/Websites/Repos/tutelum tutelum-git –no-metadata -A authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk
- Initialized empty Git repository in X:/new-git-repo-name/.git/
Couldn't open a repository: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to open repository 'file:///X:your-new-repo-name' at C:\Program Files (x86)\Git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1941This will happen if you use backslashes (\) instead of forward slashes (/) in the git svn clone command i.e.
git svn clone file:///F:\Websites\Repos\tutelum tutelum-git –no-metadata -A authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk
instead of (correct version):
git svn clone file:///F:/Websites/Repos/tutelum tutelum-git –no-metadata -A authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk
- Couldn't open a repository: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to open repository 'file:///X:/your-new-repo-name': Expected FS format '2'; found format '4' at C:\Program Files (x86)\Git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1941This happens when your SVN repo format is newer than the SVN format included in with Git. In order to fix it you'll need to
install svnserve.exe as a Windows Service.
To fix first run the following command BUT make sure the filepath to svnserve.exe, and path to the SVN root matches up to your computers':
The root should be the path TO, but NOT INCLUDING your-new-repo-name
Use Command Prompt As An Adminstrator
sc create svnserve binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\svnserve.exe\" --service -root F:\Websites\repos --listen-host 0.0.0.0" displayname= "Subversion Server" depend= tcpip start= auto
Then start the service using:
net start svnserve
Finally, update your git svn clone command to use the SVN server instead of the filepath. For me this was:
git svn clone svn://localhost/tutelum tutelum-git –no-metadata -A authors.txt -t tags -b branches -T trunk
Final Words
Whilst I've tried to provide as much detail and be as thorough as possible, do bear in mind that I'm fairly new to Git and this was just the easiest way I found of doing it and that I may have done something wrong. If you do know of a better method or want to suggest improvements to this guide feel free to post in the comments and I'll update it accordingly.

If you've got a powerful desktop, it probably sounds like a jet engine. You could opt for watercooling, but if you stick with fans you're out of luck. They're just loud. Until you bolt on some active noise canceling.
Produced by enthusiast CPU-cooler pros, Noctua, with some help from RotoSub, the cooling unit is only a prototype, but popped up at this year's Computex in working order. Thanks to a built-in microphone that picks up on the fan's hum, and a set of speakers that put out a phase-shifted sound to cancel it out, the little miracle worker can take fans from BZZZZZ to damn near silent at the press of a button.
It's a clever solution to a pretty annoying problem, but you can bet that when it hits the market it's going to come at a hefty price. But exactly how much it'll be, and when you can get one is still TBD. Rf silence is really golden though, maybe it'll be worth it. [Noctua via Geek.com]

The way that the corners and edges over lap is really interesting and fun. The sticker colours are also add a unique aspect. Mefferts means quality and this one lives up to that but does not have the same level of smooth turning that comes with most mefferts puzzles. I assume this is just due to the overlap aspect. Is not for speed solving but is a really fun take on the 3x3.

Aurecon provided design and construction services for new sludge sewage treatment works with a capacity of 3.5 ML/day at Debswana's open-cast mine in Orapa. The works replaced the existing facility that was made redundant by expansion of open-cast operations at the mine.
Aurecon's role included the design and construction of the biological reactor. In addition, Aurecon undertook the process and hydraulic design, topographical and geotechnical investigations, structural and civil design, mechanical and electrical services design, compilation of tender documentation, construction supervision, and the eventual commissioning of the works.
The design included two sludge lagoons where waste sludge is discharged for stabilisation and settling, with the supernatant water then being used for irrigation of parks. Another design element was an emergency storage dam where excessive flow can be diverted for gradual inclusion into the influent for treatment.
