Quarter Final Time!
The Quarter Finals are soon upon us (starting July 2nd)... and what a Round of 16 it's been!
Some disappointments, some cheers, and even a penalty shoot-out! (DoH!)
To those teams that made it this far, "Congratulations!",
To those that are departing... "Thanks for the entertainment. You're a credit to your countries, and I hope you're recognized as such."
To my favourites that were eliminated on the first and last day of the Round of 16... "Blame Mikey!"
There was a lot of hard fought battles, with South American countries clearly with the advantage...
4 South America, 3 Europe, 1 Africa...
As a fan of World Competitions, I was hoping there would be more representatives from other areas... better luck next time.
Uruguay went undefeated during the Group stage, drawing only once to France. La Celeste looks to Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan to continue it's winning streak.
Ghana has tasted Win, Loss and Draw during the group stage, but as the last representatives of Africa, Black Stars' Kevin Prince Boateng, and Asamoah Gyan hope to keep the crowds cheering.
Argentina left the group stage in dust winning all their games. La Albiceleste isn't just about Maradona and Messi... Higuain, Tevez... there whole team is a threat.
Germany may have the second youngest team, but looks to its energetic youthful star studded line-up of Lahm, Klose, Mueller, Boateng... and too many others to name for another run for the cup, especially after coming SO close time and time again. (2nd 2002, 3rd 2006, 2nd 2008 Euro).
Netherlands have often been accused of lacking a "Super Star"... the one singular force driving the team... If you ask me, The Oranje don't need one. Attacks can come from any side, although none of the Group Stage matches have been over-powering, I'm sure they'll put up a good fight.
Brazil is the team all other teams feared to compete against. A Seleção may not have advanced with the same record as Netherlands, but with Kaka back in the line-up leading Fabiano, Robinho, and Maicon (to name a few), Netherlands will have their hands full.
Paraguay... winners of "Easy Block 2" (Group F, not to be confused with "Easy Block 1", Group C), and victors of the first shoot-out of the cup. (DoH!)
Spain as the 2008 Euro Cup Champions, La Roja were the heavy favourite (before Brazil). David Villa has woken up and has been playing rather consistent taking out the high scoring Portugal to advance to the Quarter Finals.
Quarter-Final action starts in July... check your local listings for times and availability.

This is the one place that you can go to that has nearly every product that Apple offers. Not all stores have every single item but this is the closest you can get. I think it is good that I still live an hour away from a store or I would probably have every color watch band and leather iPhone X case.
Having worked in mobile sales before, I hate the entire concept of pushy salespeople. I can walk into an Apple Store and be only asked if I need help finding anything and that is it. From my understanding, Apple employees' primary goal is to help you. I think offering that type of experience gains the consumer's trust and they will end up spending the money there even if they can get it cheaper online. This is a huge reason that Apple retail is still a success. I took my fiancé to an Apple Store to try on an Apple Watch with no intentions of buying one. I made it out that day without one but as I was leaving, I was thinking how nice of an experience it was. They weren't shoving product down my throat and respected my decision that we weren't ready to purchase that day.
This is kind of wild but you can actually go to the Apple Store, pick up what you want from one of their shelves and buy it through your iPhone's Apple Store app without ever making contact with an employee. I have done it once and it felt bizarre. I felt like I was doing something wrong. Apple Stores are always so busy so if you are in a hurry and need a lightning cable or case, this is ideal.
Nothing comes close to the design of an Apple Store. It is clean, white and very very bright. The stores are very welcoming. When it is not packed full of people, which is rare, there is plenty of room to look around and play with all of the toys and gadgets.
Overall, if you are someone who doesn't make it to an Apple Store often, its always a treat when you get to go. With a lot of retail failing, I really hope that Apple continues doing what they are doing and continues to be a successful retail space.

Latin Dance Lifestyle
Eddie Torres: The Iconic Mambo King
Salsa on 2 is one of the most popular dance styles in the Big Apple. And one cannot learn this dance style without knowing about the "Mambo King" himself, Eddie Torres.
The Mambo King: Who is Eddie Torres?
Eddie Torres, Puerto Rican dancer, performer, and master choreographer is the undisputed King of Mambo Dance. Born in the Spanish Harlem in 1950s New York, Eddie Torres is a pioneer of Salsa "On 2". His illustrious career in Latin dance spans over 4 decades, training thousands of professional dancers in NYC. Some of his former students include legendary personalities in the Latin dance scene.
Catching the Dancing Bug
Eddie was just 12 years old when he started getting into dancing. According to some accounts, a childhood crush got him to dance to Eddie Palmieri's Azucar Pa' Ti. With no clue about coordination, stylistics, or timing, young Eddie danced to the music only to be turned down by his crush. This, in turn, fired up Eddie's obsession for Latin dance. His obsession with Latin dance would become a lifelong passion.
By 15 years old, Eddie was regularly hitting clubs that allowed teenagers. In the 60s, there were no dance studios or trainers that would teach people how to dance. The nightclub scene was the only place to learn Latin dance and not all dancers are willing to get an apprentice. As a teen, he was known to frequent Hunts Point Palace, a local dance club that featured some of the most popular Latin bands back-to-back on two stages.
Eddie turned the Hunts Point Palace into his own training ground, practicing as soon as the club opened and then going home only when it closes. He also has a knack for picking up steps from other dancers quickly, adding the dance moves in his own routine. 8 years later, Eddie was already competing in dance contests and teaching Latin dance. At this point in his life, he was building a reputation as one of the best Latin dancers in the city.
When the Palladium closed down in 1965, Eddie began frequenting the Corso nightclub on East 86th, dancing to Tito Puente's music. At this point in his career, he was winning awards left and right. After meeting Tito Puente in person, the maestro encouraged Eddie to go beyond social dancing and develop his own act. At first, Eddie wanted to collaborate with Tito Puente but the maestro said he'd like to see more of his work first before putting an act together.
Eddie and Maria: The Tito Puente Dancers
After meeting Tito Puentes at the Corso, Eddie met Maria, his future wife and lifelong dance partner. Maria, a gymnastics teacher, was one of Eddie's best students. Eddie saw the possibilities in Maria as a dance partner so he choreographed two numbers - El Cayuco and Palladium Days, both by Tito Puente - then trained Maria.
The two acts were performed as a part of a major Latin Expo at the New York Coliseum, leaving the audience - including Tito himself - captivated. By then, Tito began integrating Eddie and Maria into his performance until the group became known as the "Tito Puente Dancers. Tito, being a dancer himself, was a huge supporter of the mambo and through Eddie and Maria's effervescent performances, the dance style was kept alive during the height of the Hustle era.
As the lead dancer of Tito Puentes Dancers, Eddie choreographed and performed a host of snazzy routines, presenting only the best performers in New York's Latin community. His group performed in various venues, including the Madison Square Garden, the Apollo Theater, the Carnegie Hall and Town Hall.
Salsa on 2
Eddie Torres is best known for his unique dancing style and way of teaching mambo. His dance partner always moving "on 2" timing. It was his mentor, the great June LaBerta, who encouraged Eddie to name his steps and develop the "on 2" counting of music and dance theory. This was during the late 80s when the interest for salsa has waned significantly.
June and Eddie would perform intricate jazzy salsa dance routines with Eddie back in Corso, leaving the audience in awe as June spins on the dancefloor like a top. In private, June encouraged Eddie to pursue a career in teaching mambo, mentoring the Mambo king throughout her long career in the business.
Thanks to June, all of Eddie's signature dance moves have names. The repertoire of dance steps made it easier for his students to keep up with the intricate routines. As he began offering dance classes, his class syllabus contains three hundred dance steps.
The Mambo Revival
By the 80s, the Mambo was on the verge of dying out. The interest in mambo has waned because most Palladium dancers have retired. The few who are still performing the mambo are no longer taking in students. And if some do, they no longer teach the mambo but a hybrid dance style called the Latin hustle - a combination of salsa and hustle.
The Mambo revival began in the late 80s after Eddie Torres and Tito Puente's televised performance at the Apollo theater. The performance was a tribute to Machito and it features extremely intricate dance moves that took four months to perfect. The efforts of everyone in the dance group paid off because the performance renewed the interest in mambo.
During this time, Eddie Torres, along with Angel Rodriguez, developed two distinct ways of teaching and dancing the On 2 mambo, paving the new generation of "on 2" dancers in the 90s.
By the 90s, On 2 became a dancing style in its own right. It also coincided with the rise of "social dancing," a dancing activity that's arranged in groups for fun and enjoyment.
During this era, Eddie has been teaching and training salsa dancers through his NYC dance school, Eddie Torres Latin Dance Studio. His students rose to prominence, particularly Delille Thomas (Mambo D), Wilton Beltre, Adolfo Indacochea, Franklin Diaz, Frankie Martinez, and Seaon Bristol. Today, Eddie Torres remains one of the most influential personalities in Latin dance. He's still leaving the audience breathless with his dance performances, still an icon.

What will it take for the Spurs to pick up the road win?
Also on the show, LaMarcus Aldridge is having a good start to the season but just well-known mid-range shot is off this season. Is this a concern after nine games?

Last Monday (4/9/2012) marked the 100th day of the year. Seeing as how it's been a whirlwind of a year for me, where half the time I've been hoping for more sleep/thinking I definitely bit off more than I can chew and the other half being surprised with how many things I've accomplished this year alone, this post is mainly to ask you a couple of questions.
Before I ask the questions though, let me preface the questions with a couple of things.
First, in all phases of our lives, we have to make sacrifices for the things we want. For example, if you want to have a child, you decide that you're going to lose some sleep. Sleep is a "sacrifice" that parents willingly give up for the betterment of their child. If you want to build a body worthy of awe, then you're going to have to sacrifice pushing through some pain and building mental toughness. This pain isn't joint pain, but the muscle burning, the pain of figuring out how your body works. If you want to be worldly successful, then most likely you're going to have to give up sleep, friendships and time spent with loved ones while building up your success. At the end of the day, this doesn't mean that you have to "give up" your relationships or sleep, it's just not an optimal amount of time spent doing those things.
1 – Added 5 clients to an already booked schedule. Sacrifice – Friday morning sleep (which was evidently not as priceless as I previously thought).
2 – Opened my own personal training studio. Sacrifice – The Sundays which were my only day to not have clients, is the only day that I can fit additional clients. In addition to that, all of my expendable income for 4 months (which has turned out to be a pretty penny).
3 – Became Technical Editor for a growing fitness Website. Sacrifice – My last 3 hours of free time during the week and the time to write articles for myself.
4 – Took the Clinical Hardstyle Kettlebell Certification – A 2 and a half day workshop taught by master kettle bell instructor and a doctor. How many of these certifications have been given out? Besides the people in that one course, none. Sacrifice – It cost me an extra $400 and that's not including travel expenses or money lost from working on a Saturday.
5 – Took an online certification for the Lefkoe Belief Process. Sacrifice 4 Friday nights and hours of sleep, because I had no other time to do the work, except between 8pm – 1 am on Fridays.
6 – Functional Movement Screen Certification – Sacrifice – a weekend of studying for something that I had been using for a year straight and went to take the test and could've passed without looking at the book.
7 – TRX Suspension Training Course – Sacrifice. Sleep on the only day that I am able to sleep past 6:40 am.
8 – ALIVE online certification – 16 week online certification. Sacrifice, the one hour on a Tuesday where I would have time for myself. Tuesdays I work from 6 am – 3 pm and have clients from 4-8 or 9 pm 3-4 is the one hour of time I have for myself. That's been given up in order to learn about a program that I believe in and would be great for a majority of the people I interact with on a daily basis when it comes to exercise.
9 – United States Olympic Weightlifting Certification – Sports Performance Coach ~ Sacrifice – My Right knee was out of commission for 6 weeks following this certification. Took me a while to not only fix it, but to be confident that I wouldn't re-injure it once I started lifting.
10 – PICP Level I and II certifications – Sacrifice – Close to $4000 total, in the cost of the certification, income lost, hotel stay, taxi rides and food.
11 – NSCA CSCS Certification – Sacrifice – The time when I should be writing articles and posts, which help to keep me sane.
12 – Overall Sacrifice – Sleep, time spent with family and friends, about $20,000, time to write, time to workout, energy and, oh, did I mention sleep. Averaging 4-5 hours of sleep per night is not something that I had imagined, but it is what I choose to sacrifice at this time.
A quick word of advice: Although I list the sacrifices, at the end of the day, when I'm moving toward my goals, I don't and never will focus on the sacrifices, except in retrospect. Moving through the day, I actually focus on the things I'm grateful for. For the people in my life, the ability to do what I love, to help people and the knowledge and energy to do both.
1 – Peace of Mind – This is priceless, but basically comes down to having enough knowledge to deal with 95% of the issues I deal with and knowing when to actually refer out and not playing god with my clients.
2 – Exercises that help with shoulder stability in a way that is "functional" without being "wussy." There's a time and place for "wussy" movements, but there's also ways to keep your shoulders healthy while not continually feeling like a wuss and that makes working out fun.
4 – The potential to actualize my dream of having my own studio where I actually want to workout at. Thus far, my studio already has more equipment than I actually want to use than 90% of the gyms I've been to in the past 5 years. This is a 3-phase plan and in each phase, I'll be able to build upon that equipment list to have all the equipment I want.
5 – The potential to have a business that is self-sustaining without my need to be there. To have a freedom that is rarely realized – To work because you want to, not because you have to.
6 – The ability to have have my ideas spread throughout a wider forum than they are now.
7 – The ability to help my mom and those I care about with their exercises and nutritional needs.
8 – The ability to not be stressed about money.
9 – A system to use with clients that are relatively new to working out and in a way that helps with adherence.
10 – The ability to practice and play with lifts that I find fun exciting – two things I haven't had in a very long time (the Olympic lifts).
11 – To be able to identify and fix the bodily issues I've had over the past 4 years but have been too stubborn to try and have someone else figure out for me.
12 – To have access to a 24-hour gym.
At the end, the question is, have these things I've added in the first 100 days of the year, been worth it? Unequivocally, the answer is absolutely. Advice I was given close to 9 years ago, applies now just as much as it did then.
1 – To be free to take care of my health, my body and to spend the time and effort in a worthy endeavor.
2 – To be able to help those I care about most, first and foremost, followed by helping as many people as possible.
This year I've been able to do those two things more so than at any other time in my life.
1 – Do you know what you want, what your values are?
2 – Have you been moving closer towards those things or simply spinning your wheels, going through the motions with no real direction?
3 – How far have you come in the first 100 days of this year?
Identify them. Live by them.
The good thing is that at any given moment, you can give up what you are, for what you want to be. What do you want to be and are you willing to make the sacrifices to make it happen?
Impressive accomplishments in only 100 days! Amazing how you were able to squeeze everything in and take so many educational course. It's noble how much money you spend on your education.

Farm Profiles View Latest Profiles

Maize and irrigation make every summer a good summer
Owners: Jared and Francine Whittfield
Farm location: Moutoa, Horowhenua
Farm size: 250 ha
Herd size: 1000 Friesian cows
Pioneer® brand hybrids grown: P9911, P8000
When Jared Whittfield says he lives on the family farm - he really means it. He lives there with his wife Francine and their five children ranging from 13 years down to 18 months. The 250 ha farm is situated in Moutoa (midway between Shannon and Foxton) where he milks just over 1000 Friesian cows producing around 500,000 kg MS annually.
Between farming and family commitments, he somehow manages find time to indulge in his favourite pastime of hunting.
Most farms in the region usually run around three cows per ha but Jared attributes his figure of more than four cows to an intensive style of farming that relies on high-yielding maize silage as the lynchpin. "It allows me to harvest more grass in the growing season and extend the lactation while hitting our body condition scores for calving."
The main problem facing the farm used to be variable summers. He estimates there was about a 50/50 chance of having a dry season which would lead to poor pasture growth and low crop yields. It became obvious these variations in feed supply were unsustainable so Jared decided to make a capital investment in a pivot irrigation system, "I've noticed a huge difference in my pasture quality and maize yield. Now every summer is a good summer."
Each year Jared plants 60-70 ha of maize for silage and consults with his local Pioneer representative Matt Dalley on which hybrids to use. Matt says: "We chose two this season - P9911 because it gives the ultimate yield for this region and P8000 for the other crop because it has a high yield and short maturity. It was important for Jared to get these paddocks back into grass rotation before winter."
He and Matt also get together to plan Pioneer IMPACT trials which are replicated on both the irrigated and non-irrigated regions of the farm. After harvest they discuss the results and use them to help select which hybrids will give the best yield the following year.
Over the past five years Jared has averaged 28 tDM/ha across all his maize crops. IMPACT trial results showed P9911 produced up to 34.2 tDM/ha on the irrigated paddocks and 31.7 tDM/ha on the dry-land paddocks. Jared won't use any other seed – "it's 100% Pioneer... my days of experimenting are over."
Jared is very philosophical about his approach to the future. When asked if he is currently focusing on reducing his farming costs, he says: "It's not that simple. Reducing costs is good but you have to keep your eye on the numerator of the equation. There's no point in having lower costs if you're dividing them into a lower milk production". He sees maize silage as a critical part of his farming system into the foreseeable future.
Jared's willingness to look for improvements is what Matt really admires. He describes Jared as "that 1% guy. He's always looking for a way to squeeze an extra percent out of his farming system and, if he wants to know about something new, he's never afraid to just pick up the phone and ask."

Q: C# Nullreference in a simple EPPlus block save I honestly don't see what I'm missing here.
The code selects an excel file, the excel file is opened with EPPlus and I attempt to edit one of the cells. However, when I try to save, it errors out.
I'm getting the following error on my p.Saveas(): NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Error saving file C:\2.xlsx' I can clearly see my path is valid.
OpenFileDialog odf = new OpenFileDialog();
odf.ShowDialog();
FileInfo file = new FileInfo(odf.FileName);
Console.WriteLine(file);
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in DGVmain.SelectedRows)
{
    using (ExcelPackage p = new ExcelPackage(file))
    {
        using (ExcelWorkbook WBook = p.Workbook)
        {
            using (OfficeOpenXml.ExcelWorksheet WS = WBook.Worksheets.First())
            {
                if (WBook != null)
                {
                    if (WBook.Worksheets.Count > 0)

                        string ks = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[2].Value);
                        string kss = Convert.ToString(row.Cells[3].Value);

                        WS.Cells[14, 2].Value = k + ",  " + ks + " " + kss;

            }
        }
        p.SaveAs(file);
    }
}

The file is meant to save as the original file, and replace it if it already exists, which is why I use saveas versus save, which will throw an error at that point,

Q: How to remove the trailing double arrows "»" from breadcrumbs on the home page only I found this useful PHP snippet and made a couple small modifications, but I have not been able to figure out how to exclude the home page from showing the trailing "»" after the word "Home". As a result, it ends up looking like this... Home » .
Is there a simple way to remove this without changing the way the breadcrumbs appear on any other page?
<?php

function breadcrumbs($sep = ' » ', $home = 'Home') {
//Use RDFa breadcrumb, can also be used for microformats etc.
$bc     =   '
'.$text;
//Get the website:
$site   =   'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
//Get all vars en skip the empty ones
$crumbs =   array_filter( explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) );
//Create the home breadcrumb
$bc    .=   ''.$home.''.$sep.'';
//Count all not empty breadcrumbs
$nm     =   count($crumbs);
$i      =   1;
//Loop the crumbs
foreach($crumbs as $crumb){
    //Make the link look nice
    $link    =  ucfirst( str_replace( array(".php","-","_"), array(""," "," ") ,$crumb) );
    //Loose the last seperator
    $sep     =  $i==$nm?'':$sep;
    //Add crumbs to the root
    $site   .=  '/'.$crumb;
    //Make the next crumb
    $bc     .=  ''.$link.''.$sep.'';
    $i++;
}
$bc .=  '
';
//Return the result
return $bc;}
?>

<?= breadcrumbs() ?>

A: You have to remove the separator character that is put each time after "Home". Add it only if there is something after "Home".
$crumbs =   array_filter( explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) );

//Count all not empty breadcrumbs
$nm     =   count($crumbs);
$i      =   1;

// Add first separator if there is at least one crumb
$homesep     =  $nm == 0?'':$sep;
//Create the home breadcrumb
$bc    .=   ''.$home.''.$homesep.'';

//Loop the crumbs
foreach($crumbs as $crumb){
    ...
}


A well-deserved second outing for the vertigo-inducing tropical terror? We check out an early Xbox 360 build.
Blame the insipid Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, if you will, or Vin Diesel's wrecked-from-birth Wheelman, or even Far Cry and Crysis, but I'm sick to the rear molars of games in which over-clocked Western secret service bruisers are slam-dunked into post-colonial scenery in order to flog their militaristic hard-ons in the name of international stability. It's less a question of pinko liberal sympathies as familiarity-bred contempt: the old sub-equatorial geo-political sandbox is positively heaving with unshaven one-man-armies and their flaccid punchlines. Next time, developers, try rural Dorset. The weather's not too pleasant, but they make wonderful cream teas.
Such whinging aside, there's always room for a game that's utterly, spectacularly, triumphantly stupid, whether it's set in Borneo or Birmingham, and Avalanche's third-person pacification spree Just Cause 2 is certainly that. This stupidity hinges on two elements: a parachute, and a grapple line.
Dang, I was aiming for the chap in the foreground.
The former not only lets returning hero Rico Rodriguez take the scenic route out of each mission briefing, free-falling towards the game's 1024 km square of highly diversified streaming island; it's a tactical prop, allowing players to mount improbable low-level aerial assaults on whatever gas tanks and satellite dishes are next on the checklist, or kick up and away from the roof of a speeding car after tagging it with remotely detonated explosives. To open the chute, tap A; to cut yourself loose, tap A once again (don't worry, Rico appears to have an inexhaustible supply). Tilting the stick forward accelerates your descent and forward momentum; tilting it backward has the opposite effect.
The grapple line, mapped to right bumper, is even sillier. Fire it a building, tree branch or part of the landscape and you'll reel yourself in; fire it at a movable object of lesser mass, be it a rock, grizzled government goon or an old lady riding a moped, and the converse is true. So far, so Bionic Commando, but the ace up the weapon's sleeve is that it's double-ended. Hold the bumper down after grappling one object and you can grapple another if you're quick (providing it's roughly within the same range and field of view), roping the two together with oft-amusing and hopefully lethal consequences.
All the game's vehicles are driveable.
There are very few people or things you can't mistreat in this fashion, as the first mission we were shown made clear. In the capable hands of "Al", one of the game's designers, baddies were lassoed to each other, statues, lamp-posts, cars, balcony edges and punctured gas cylinders, Rico's dual-wielded shotgun and SMG barely getting a look in. Still more improbable feats are apparently in store if you're skilled enough: boulders can be staple-gunned to helicopters to create highly mobile wrecking balls, or even hitched to passing jets.
Nudged by waypoints on the top-left mini-map, Al clawed his way up the side of a glittering tubular skyscraper, disarmed a few ticking timers, then latched onto a boss chopper and dispensed of its pilot with a brisk bit of button-matching, just in time to spare a beleaguered fellow operative from the authorities' rifle butts. A car chase followed, Rico riding shotgun on the roof, casually jolting pursuers out of their vehicles or anchoring the vehicles themselves to the tarmac. Everything looked decidedly awesome, Al's premature death notwithstanding, and I was first in line for a pad once the lights came up.

It's all Gilded Age romance in this moody and elegant mansion wedding shoot from Jenn Marie Photography! We are in love with the trailing bouquet, vintage chic stationery, and pearl draped ceremony. But it's the cake that is giving us all the heart eyes! Those sugar flower peonies are perfection!
We were inspired by the Belle Epoque/Gilded Age in history. We wanted the shoot to have an heirloom feel, pulling in as many vintage details as we could find that had the floral and old-school elegance theme that we were looking for. From the vintage champagne glasses to the custom made beaded and crocheted wedding gown, the blend of vintage and modern turned out so beautiful and achievable for any couple to easily draw inspiration from and create their own heirloom wedding. Many aspects of this shoot were brought by our planner and designer, Dara of Bespoke and Beloved. The china, cutlery, and glassware were all personal family heirlooms that really helped elevate our vintage feel!

Ten Keys to Nonprofit Merger Success
Nonprofits merge for a variety of reasons, including saving costs or creating greater operational efficiencies, but the most successful mergers are those that focus on three things: mission, mission, and more mission.
A recently completed study of nonprofit mergers, commissioned by Mission + Strategy Consulting and researched by the J. L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, which looked at 25 nonprofit combinations in the Chicago area, holds lessons for nonprofits everywhere.
Here are the top 10 keys to merger success developed by the study:
Trust is the glue that holds together all other issues in merger negotiations.
Mission, mission, and more mission: the most successful mergers are mission-driven.
In the most successful mergers, all parties are clear about their organization's overall goals and use the merger as a strategy to achieve those goals.
Know yourself and know your counterpart: participants should make sure to acquire as much information as possible about their potential partner.
The CEO is often critical in prompting discussions about a merger strategy, especially when the CEO position is in transition.
Boards/board chairs must be merger advocates for mergers to succeed.
Staff involvement, particularly management, is critical to the success of a merger and certainly to post-merger integration.
Leaders must pay attention to cultural alignment, pre-merger and in the merger integration process, if the merger is to succeed.
Most successful mergers rely on outside experts, who may include attorneys, accountants, merger facilitators, and/or others.
Mergers participants must do their homework regarding all aspects of the process and become familiar with merger strategy.
The study, reported in Mergers as a Strategy for Success, recommends the following for merger participants:
For board members: Adhere to mission; be clear about the merger's purpose; be prepared to lead and manage the merger process; seek outside expertise.
For CEOs and executive staff: Prep your board on the critical issues your organization faces as it goes through the merger process; set a vision for the merger with clear objectives and expectations.
For funders: More transparency and greater clarity regarding funder policies on mergers and merged organizations; greater financial support to help merging organizations navigate the process; better communication and collective action among funders and merger supporters; proactive use of leadership experience and wisdom of those who have gone through a successful merger with those who are new to the strategy.
"Understanding the thorny issues that arise during the merger process and learning how these issues have been successfully resolved can be extremely helpful for those considering or engaged in a merger," the study noted, and highlighted the following critical issues that prospective merger partners should bear in mind:
Finding the right partner is a challenge.
Staff retention difficulties arose in almost all cases.
Program continuation and legacy concerns can be difficult.
Board member transition and retention to the merged organization is commonly an issue.
Liabilities must be carefully investigated and vetted to determine their impact on the future organization.
CEO/ED succession can be contentious and even controversial between organizations.
The naming and branding of the new organization is often a difficult issue.
Integration requires careful planning between the parties.
Funder involvement produced mixed responses from participants.

Taken from "Linus Torvalds goes off on Linux and Git" and presented without comment.
Git has taken over where Linux left off separating the geeks into know-nothings and know-it-alls. I didn't really expect anyone to use it because it's so hard to use, but that turns out to be its big appeal. No technology can ever be too arcane or complicated for the black t-shirt crowd.
You'll spend a lot of time trying to get your head around it, and being ridiculed by the experts on github and elsewhere. I've learned that no toolchain can be too complicated because the drive for prestige and job security is too strong. Eventually you'll discover the Easter egg in Git: all meaningful operations can be expressed in terms of the rebase command. Once you figure that out it all makes sense. I thought the joke would be obvious: rebase, freebase, as in what was Linus smoking? But programmers are an earnest and humorless crowd and the gag was largely lost on them.
Edit: The originating post is marked as 'satire'. I missed this at first, but after I read it in that context it was obvious. Still, some of the points in the quote ring true to me even if Linus didn't say them.

The title is somewhat misleading. As of right now, node.js doesn't run on Windows. You have to run it on some kind of *nix/BSD based system. But there is a somewhat low footprint way to run it and play around with it on your Windows box.
Step 1 – Download and install VirtualBox orVMWare Player. I chose VirtualBox. It's free, and supports 64-bit guests.
Step 2 – Download The Turnkey Linux core appliance and unzip it somewhere. This handy little virtual machine is based on Ubuntu and give you a basic command line environment with networking.
Step 3 – Import the Turnkey core appliance into VirtualBox.
Choose the .ovf file in the Turnkey directory you unzipped earlier.
Click next and review the settings, making any changes as you see fit. The defaults should work fine. Then click import.
Once Virtualbox finishes importing the virtual machine, you can start it up.
Assuming your network is configured correctly, the virtual machine will grab an IP from your DHCP server and be ready to go.
Step 4 – At this point you can either SSH into the virtual machine or you can connect using the web shell at the address indicated in the startup screen. Initially you can connect using as the root account with no password. You are almost ready to start installing node.js. First type "apt-get update" at the command line to make sure you have all the latest package information.
Step 5 – Install the developer tools you need to get and build node.js. Node.js isn't packaged as a binary, you have to build it from source. Luckily it includes it's dependencies and is pretty easy to build. But first we need to get a compiler. Type "apt-get install build-essential" and hit return. A lot of text will fly past, if it asks you if you want to go ahead press "y".
Step 6 – Install Git. Now you've got a compiler installed, we have to install git so we can fetch node.js from the repository. At the command prompt type "apt-get install git". Once that is complete, type "apt-get install git-core".
Step 7 – Clone the node.js Git repository. If you want to put node.js is a specific directory, go ahead and make it then "cd" into the new directory. At the command prompt, type "git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git".
Step 8 – configure the source for building. type "cd node" and change into the node directory that Git created. Type "./configure". You may see a few "fail" messages. Don't worry about them.
Step 9 – Build node.js. Type" "make" at the command prompt. Get a sandwich or a nice cool drink. It doesn't take very long, but it's not very exciting unless the Matrix screensaver is your favorite screen saver.
Step 10 – Install node.js and start build applications. Type "make install" once the build is complete. Once that is complete,you can type "node" at the command prompt and you should see the standard help information fly by.
Building a node module or application is beyond the scope of this short tutorial. I suggest reading up at the Node.js site.

Q: what number does the Zend_Dom_Query element count start at? I have just begun using Zend_Dome_Query and although this seems like a basic question to ask it can be too easy to asume the answer. I was wondering if the start counts for elements within a DOM starts at [0] or [1]. So for example:
$dom->queryXpath('//div[@id="foo"]/span[1]');

Would this select the first span element or the second? Thank you in advance.

A: Indexes (positions) are 1 based.
so /span[1] is the first child.
Hope it helps

Further diminishing the Saints' chances was an untimely injury to their goalkeeper during penalty kicks. McCarron's face hit the ground during a save attempt and he suffered from a bloody nose during the decisive stretch.
For much of regulation it was Xavier in control thanks in large part to its ability to take a lead. Duball broke a scoreless tie just after the start of the second half, slipping past a couple Norwalk defenders after receiving a ball from Will Hanigan and firing a shot into the top-left corner of the net.
Xavier's second-leading goal scorer's left-footed shot came from the front of the box near the half-circle, bouncing off the bottom of the post.
Xavier nearly made it a two-goal lead seven minutes later, as Matt Been lofted a corner kick to Thomas Bean who fired a shot from the left wing. This time, Warrior keeper Hunter Kappan came up with the stop.
For much of the first half, physical play and fouls on both sides highlighted a defensive first 40 minutes. One brief exchange near the sideline sparked a brief scuffle between players from the Saints and Warriors.
Norwalk forward Chase Sinclair's cross from the left wing in the 15th minute became the first scoring threat by either side, but a diving save by McCarron and clear from Hanigan kept the game scoreless. Hanigan also made his presence felt on the front side of the Saints' attack, but for the most part it was the defense that dominated the first half of play.
Following the game-tying goal from Crall, both offenses nearly cashed in on scoring opportunities down the stretch, only to see the defense stand tall and the scoreboard remain knotted at 1-1.
The Saints nearly put an end to it early in the first overtime when Davis Wagner missed high on a wide-open right half of the net. The freshman forward arrived on the right wing and received a nice centering pass from Thomas Bean, but could not convert.
Norwalk's Jacob Connelly received his team's first yellow card with under seven minutes remaining in the second overtime, but Xavier couldn't answer on a shot following a throw-in following the defender's foul. Neither side threatened through much of the second overtime, and the score remained 1-1 headed to penalty kicks.
While it certainly wasn't the way Xavier wanted to end its season, with a 14-5 record and falling short of its eighth state title, Hadzic said his team did what it needed to do in order to win.
"We played hard and executed our game plan well," he said. "The kids played the game the way we anticipated. We had that lead and wanted to get that lead, but unfortunately, we couldn't hold onto it. Norwalk pushed up a little bit.

NATO Wants to Shoot Down Russia's Planes With New Air Defense in Baltics
By Tom O'Connor On 11/9/17 at 1:23 PM EST
Polish soldiers with the anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon ZUR-23 take part in the Tobruq Legacy 2017 air defense exercise near Siauliai, Lithuania, on July 20. The three Baltic states—Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia—and Poland have expressed concern that they're not equipped for a Russian attack. Ints Kalnins/Reuters
World NATO Lithuania Latvia Estonia
Update | NATO is expected to build a new air defense shield across the Baltic states and Poland in order to further fortify the Western military alliance's borders with Russia, according to Lithuania's defense minister.
Lithuania has long appealed for greater anti-aircraft capabilities, and last year it was designated, along with Latvia, Estonia and Poland, to host multinational NATO battle groups deployed by the U.S.-led alliance to counter what it considers Russian aggression. Since Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula amid political unrest in neighboring Ukraine in 2014, NATO and Russia have engaged in an arms race, and Lithuanian Prime Minister Raimundas Karoblis said Tuesday he expected his allies to approve more firepower by next year.
Related: Russia has world's "most powerful army" and will respond to NATO expansion, lawmaker says
When asked by Reuters if he believed an agreement for the air shield would come by NATO's upcoming summit in July 2018, Karoblis replied, "We expect so."
"Air defense is one of the issues which we need to address. We also need to look at other domains, like NATO command structure reform—we need to move forward on all on these aspects," he added.

While NATO's $892 billion, 29-nation army easily outweighs Russia's military prowess on paper, an internal report recently leaked by Der Spiegel embarrassed the alliance, finding that its capabilities had "been atrophied" since the Cold War and that its existing command structure "would quickly fail" if met with a sudden, all-out attack from its Russian rival. Since the report's publication in June, NATO has taken steps to establish two new commands.
NATO officials told The Wall Street Journal last month one command would be dedicated to improving mobility of weapons, troops and supplies across Europe, and another would focus on the North Atlantic or Arctic region, where Russia has already made significant gains.
Last year, the U.S. established in Romania a sophisticated missile defense that Washington argued was built with "rogue states" like Iran in mind—but Russia has criticized the apparatus as a threat to its own national security. Moscow officials have warned such a network could embolden the U.S. to launch a nuclear war and have come out strongly against further NATO military moves.
NATO, for its part, defended its missile defense and rejected Moscow's claims that the members of the multinational treaty were targeting Russia.
"NATO's Ballistic Missile Defence is an important part of NATO's defense and deterrence. The Aegis Ashore site in Romania will further boost our ability to counter the threat we face from ballistic missiles from outside the Euro-Atlantic area," a NATO official told Newsweek via email.
"Our system is not directed against Russia. It is purely defensive and it will not undermine Russia's strategic deterrence. NATO is a defensive alliance, which always acts proportionately and in line with its international commitments."

Shortly after the U.S.'s Aegis Combat System was integrated into NATO, the Baltic states and Poland entered into talks with defense contractors in June 2016 to establish a comprehensive anti-aircraft system, the Financial Times reported. The Baltic states, Poland and other European countries have frequently complained about Russian warplanes entering their airspace, but fears regarding their defense plan and other NATO projects mounted in the wake of the November 2016 election of President Donald Trump, who once called NATO "obsolete." He has since reversed his position.
Trump and Putin, who were staunch allies leading up to the Republican celebrity politician's rise to office, have fallen out since he came to office, and promises that U.S.-Russia ties damaged by President Barack Obama's administration would be repaired have not been realized. Trump and Putin were expected to meet for the second time as soon as Friday, in Vietnam, amid Trump's first presidential tour of Asia.

Trump Jr. Pushed Father's Chief of State to Overturn Election, Texts Show
Donald Trump Jr. texted Mark Meadows days after the election to demand the White House ensures that his father wins.

Text messages obtained by the House select committee that is investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection revealed that people in former President Donald Trump's closest circle — specifically his son, Donald Trump Jr. — were strategizing before the votes were even counted how they could overturn the results of the 2020 election and make sure Trump served a second term.
As CNN reported late Friday, Trump Jr. texted former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on November 5, 2020 — just two days after the election and before President Joe Biden was announced the winner — to urge White House officials to use "operational control" to ensure a Trump victory regardless of the results.
"POTUS must start 2nd term now," Trump Jr. told Meadows.
He then suggested that Republican-controlled state legislatures in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan "step in" and put forward "Trump electors."

"This is as explicit as it gets," tweeted Yale University philosophy professor Jason Stanley.
The former president's son also suggested that the U.S. House could vote for president by state party delegation if neither Trump nor Biden got enough electoral votes to be declared the winner, with each state getting one vote.
"We either have a vote WE control and WE win OR it gets kicked to Congress 6 January 2021," said Trump Jr.
His final suggestion was having the White House dismiss FBI Director Christopher Wray, who angered Trump and his allies by not releasing information that they believed would be harmful to the former president's rivals.
"Fire Wray," the president's son told Meadows, adding that former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell should replace him.
Later that same day, Grenell announced that he was joining Trump campaign officials in filing a lawsuit to "stop the counting of illegal votes."
"Jr. was all in on the coup and demanding misuse of the government to investigate Trump's enemies," said New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser.
Trump Jr.'s text messages were revealed less than two weeks after a federal judge found that the former president and his lawyer likely committed a felony in their efforts to overturn the election by filing dozens of lawsuits and demanding vote recounts — which took place in several states and never unveiled any irregularities that would have changed the outcome of the vote.
As Common Dreams reported last month, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter found the Trump campaign's strategy after the election was "a coup in search of a legal theory."

DUMAGUETE CITY – Authorities have apprehended and penalized eight hundred one (801) violators since the full implementation of the discipline zone covering the city limit in Barangay Bunao up to Robinson in Barangay Calindagan.
The vast majority of the offenses involved illegal parking with 738 citation tickets issued (some motorcycles were impounded), 59 were apprehended for smoking in public and 4 for jaywalking.
Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo has approved the hiring of additional personnel and procurement of equipment to ensure sustainability of the program.
The city government has mobilized six composite teams from the Land Transportation Office, Philippine National Police, Provincial Highway Patrol Team, Department of Interior and Local Government, Environment and Natural Resources Office, Bureau of Fire Protection, Special Enforcement Unit, Tourist Police, Traffic Management Office and Department of Public Works and Highways to enforce with zero tolerance all applicable laws and local ordinances in the 4 kilometer long national highway from Monday-Sunday.
The zone will serve as an exhibit for citizens to realize how orderly, clean and safe our city would be if people will only follow the rules and not break them.
Among the prohibited acts in the discipline zone are: illegal parking, illegal vending, smoking, panhandling, littering, jay walking, mendicancy, etc.
Enforcers admit the difficulty in dealing with recalcitrant and cantankerous motorists and pedestrians, many of whom are not even residents of the city.
However, there are also establishments that continue to defy repeated warnings to avoid using the sidewalks as an extension of their businesses. After citation tickets will be issued, the city will send a team that will assess the compliance of these establishments to the building code and probe legitimacy of their operations.

Herbal salves like those we make here at our certified organic farm are useful for soothing irritated muscles and healing damaged, chapped, or dry skin. Our salve recipes combine essential oils, herbs, and beeswax to create one of a kind blends. Like all of our products, our salves are certified organic by the USDA.
Our herbal salves are handmade in small batches using organic ingredients. We offer four different salves, each of which has unique healing properties. All are made from a base of olive oil and beeswax infused with various herbs and fragrant oils.
Comfrey Salve: Contains a blend of herbs known to heal small cuts and extra dry, cracked skin.
Comfrey Lavender Salve: This fragrant salve includes lavender essential oil and extracts of herbs to repair damaged skin.
Herbal Vapor Salve: Our organic answer to a popular brand of vapor rub is a combination of eucalyptus, camphor, and peppermint oils known to clear sinuses and ease breathing during cold and flu season.
Muscle Soothing Salve: Combines cayenne, camphor, and arnica to create a muscle-soothing blend that soothes sore muscles after exercise or injury.
Handcrafting herbal salves is an art that we take very seriously. Using only the highest quality oils and herbs grown right here on the farm, each batch is carefully crafted using the following technique.
Step 1: Warm the carrier oil. First we create a double boiler by putting about 1.5-2" of water in a pot and turning the burner on medium-high heat. Then, we place a glass pouring jar into the pot and partially fill it with carrier oil. To minimize allergic reactions, we use olive oil as our carrier oil instead of a nut oil.
Step 2: Select herbs for your salve. We use various blends of comfrey, lavender, calendula, chamomile, plantain, chickweed, and yarrow grown at the farm and selected for their skin-healing properties. The herbs are placed inside an unbleached, natural cotton muslin bag for easy removal, and then the bag is put into the carrier oil. An alternative option is to put the herbs directly into the oil and then strain the oil through cheesecloth when the herbs are ready for removal. We use fresh herbs if we have them available which gives the salve a slightly green tint, but dried herbs work well, too.
Step 3: Infuse the oil with the herbs. Let the herbs steep in the warm oil for 1-2 hours. Be careful to replenish the water as it evaporates. The water should be heated to boiling initially and then turned down to simmer throughout the 1-2 hours.
Step 4: Melt in the beeswax. After 1-2 hours passes, it's time to remove the bag of herbs. Then, beeswax is added to the oil and the mixture is heated until the beeswax is fully melted.
Step 5: Add essential oils and a natural preservative. Once the beeswax is liquid, we add a preservative to keep the salve fresh (we use rosemary antioxidant from Mountain Rose Herbs). We also mix in essential oils to add fragrance at this time.
Step 6: Pour into jars. After mixing in the essential oils, it's time to pour the finished liquid salve into glass jars. As the jars cool, the salve solidifies.
Step 7: Put on the lid and label. As soon as the jars have fully cooled, it's time to put on the lids and labels.
While the salve-making process isn't complicated, our quality recipes and herbal combinations make our salves the finest available. Extensive positive feedback from our customers tells us that they wholeheartedly agree!
You'll find all of our salves available here.
We also offer a Herbal Salve Gift Crate that contains three different salves in a rustic wooden crate.


P. Kobiliri, A Stylistic Commentary on Hermesianax. Classical and Byzantine Monographs 43. Amsterdam: Hakkert, 1998. Pp. 262. ISBN 90-256-0638-5. ISBN 90-256-1126-5.
Hermesianax of Colophon1 (3rd c. B.C.E., hereafter H.) is chiefly known as the author of a long elegiac poem addressed to, and named after, his mistress Leontium. The work seems to have treated famous love affairs, framed by the poet's own, which was doubtless as ill-fated as his exempla. Preserved are a single line from the section on Polyphemus (fr. 1 Powell), prose reworkings of several others (fr. 2-6 P.), and, most important, a 98 line catalogue of amorous poets and philosophers (from Orpheus to H.'s older contemporary and alleged teacher Philitas, including Pythagoras, Socrates, and Aristippus), which is cited by Athenaeus (fr. 7 P.). Whereas Leontium as a whole is clearly influenced by the Lyde of H.'s townsman Antimachus, the surviving part most resembles Phanocles' Erotes e kaloi. Both Phanocles and H. state their debt to Hesiod's Ehoea in the first line of the surviving text.
Because H.'s catalogue is both the longest continuous fragment of a Greek elegiac poem to survive and an important bridge between early Greek and later Roman (love) elegy, it has, in the past, attracted a fair amount of scholarly attention. Yet since the beginning of our century interest in the poem has dwindled -- reflecting, I suspect, a diminished appreciation of its quality (which critics now agree is rather mediocre) and exasperation with the tantalizing problems of interpretation it poses. As a result, students of H. are forced to consult antiquated commentaries in Latin and to sample more recent work on the poem themselves. A new commented edition is clearly welcome.
Kobiliri's book, the revised version of her 1979 (!) Birbeck doctoral dissertation, consists of a two-page introduction, an edition without critical apparatus, a translation, and an extensive word-for-word commentary. The volume concludes with Greek and analytical indices (which somewhat compensate for the absence of a proper introduction), and a bibliography. I will first deal with the bibliography, because it is illustrative of the nature of K.'s undertaking.
K.'s revisions of the original dissertation did not include incorporating advances in the field of Greek poetry made since 1979: the most recent title in her bibliography is Hatzikosta's 1982 commentary on Theocritus 7. No explanation for this is given. As regards H. himself, one can excuse the omission of Hardie's thorough article on the Philitas section, which appeared only in 1997. But there is no excuse for neglecting Huys' ascription to H. of the so-called Tattoo Elegy (P.Brux. inv. E8934 + P.Sorb. inv. 2254) and Slings' (convincing) refutation of this ascription: both scholars offer important observations on H.'s style. Other important omissions include articles by Bing, Brugnoli and Di Fabio, Allen's Mimnermus, Matthews' Antimachus, and Lefkowitz' The Lives of the Greek Poets. The list could easily be expanded.
For other Hellenistic poets the situation is not much better. Apollonian scholarship, for example, is represented by the editions of Wellauer and Merkel (1828 and 1853-4), and the commentaries of Mooney and Fränkel (1912 and 1968). K. does not acknowledge the existence of Vian's Budé edition (1974-1981), nor does she cite the commentaries of Ardizzoni, Campbell, Hunter, and Livrea, all of which have a lot to say about Hellenistic 'style'.
As the case of Apollonius shows, K.'s reading is also surprisingly idiosyncratic for literature that appeared before 1979. In fact, almost a third of the works she lists date before 1900. They include such vintage classics as Jannaris' A Historic Greek Grammar (1897), Angermann's De patronymicorum Graecorum formatione (1869), and Lorentz's Observationes de pronominum personalium apud poetas Alexandrinos usu (1892). The only edition of Athenaeus listed is Gulick's Loeb (no Bergk, Diehl, Dindorf, Kaibel or Schweighäuser). Work on Homer seems to have ceased after Ameis-Hentze-Cauer and Leaf.
What K. does list, she lists sloppily. Many references are incomplete and quite a few are incorrect. Two short notes by H. Fuchs (MH 27 (1970) 179 and MH 28 (1971) 182) have merged into one (MH 28, 1970, 182ff.); O. Weinreich's article is to be found at WJA 4 (1949-50) 384 (not 92f.), etc.
Editing H. is no sinecure, as the text has come to us in a wretched state. It is clear that the scribes of Athenaeus could often make little sense of what they were copying, and they can hardly be blamed. H.'s meandering sentences often run to several disticha and show more concern for rhythmical and sound patterns than for information structure; they are full of linguistic rarities, récherché collocations, and uncommon names. His love-affairs, typically spun from the poets' subject-matter, are no less arcane and far-fetched than his style. Hesiod is paired off with Ehoea (!) and Homer with Penelope, Alcaeus and Anacreon anachronistically compete for the love of Sappho, Socrates courts Aspasia, and so on. Most of these fanciful stories are not elsewhere attested, or if they are, not in the form in which H. gives them. Even when the text was in pristine condition, understanding it must have presented a real challenge. Now that it is considerably corrupted and most of the literary and biographical works alluded to are lost, restoring and understanding it in every detail seems an impossibility. Hermann, in the preface to his 1828 edition, stated, with untypical but justified modesty, that he had no illusion of presenting a sound text, and that he could only hope to have left it somewhat less corrupt for the next editor, whom he invites to do a better job. The most recent editor, Defradas, shows similar resignation: he includes the Athenaeus fragment in his Élégiaques grecs "intégralement malgré sa médiocrité, malgré sa difficulté, due à la fois à la mauvaise qualité du texte et au caractère recherché du style, parce qu'il nous a paru réprésentatif d'une certaine poésie alexandrine." He provides annotation only for those passages that can be understood; unsolved problems are passed over in silence.
"Musurus changed ἱεράς into ἱράς, obviously on the grounds that the form ἱρός is conventionally employed by Homer at verse-beginning. However, the form ἱερός is also rarely attested in this sedes [i.e. "is also attested, though rarely"? K.'s English is often hard to follow]: cf. ἱερά τε ῥέζουσι in Hom. Od. 5.102 and h.Apoll. 394; cf. also the same sedes in Apollonius Rhodius 4.531 (ἱρήν)."
K. was apparently so preoccupied with the line-postion of the word in question (more about this below) that she overlooked the real problem: the transmitted text does not scan (- u -, the evidence she adduces scans - u u; for the corruption as such cf. e.g. A.R. 2.302, 486, 718). This is by no means K.'s only unmetrical line: 3 begins with Ἀϊδόθεν (read Ἁιδόθεν), 33 with ἔκλαιε δ' Ἰκάρου τε γένος, 66 with Αἰγείων μέθεπε δ' Ἀρχελάῳ (on these two verses see below), and 51 ends in ἐφωμίλησ' Ἀνακρέων (read ἐφωμίλησ' Ἀνακρείων rather than ἐφωμίλησεν Ἀνακρέων).
Other observations: -- 1 and 13. K.'s decision to retain Ἀγριόπην seems wise, although one may quarrel about the arguments. H. is both the first to give Orpheus' wife a name (in the earliest sources, Euripides and Plato, she remains anonymous) and the only one to call here anything near Agriope (the name Eurydice is not attested before the Epitaphium Bionis). The name Argiope (Ἀργιόπην ci. Zoëga, not as widely accepted as K. suggests) has the benefit of being elsewhere attested, but none of the nymphs of this name is ever associated with Orpheus. Moreover, the transmitted Ἀγριόπην produces a not unhermesianactic jingle after Οἰάγροιο, and seems to combine the names of Orpheus' father (Oi-agr-os) and mother (Call-iope). In any case, there are insufficient grounds for changing the transmitted text. -- 4. The transmitted ἀκοήν (sc. ἄκατον, of Charon's ferry), which virtually all editors replace by something else (Ludwich's ἀκορήν, "insatiate", seems most satisfactory), is accepted by K. on the authority of Giangrande, whose arguments she does not discuss. The reader is left to wonder how ἀκοός, which on its only other attestion (Plato Com. fr. 226) equals ἀκουστικός, can come to mean "wailing" (so K.'s translation). -- 7. παρὰ κῦμα μονόζωστον κιθαρίζων : read μονόζωστος (Ruhnkenius). The adjective combines the notions of "traveling alone" (Soph. OT 846 οἰόζωνον) and "lightly armed", i.e. with nothing but his lyre (prose μονόζωνος, for the idea cf. 2 στειλάμενος κιθάρην -- not κιθάρῃ, as K. prints). The adjective cannot possibly go with κῦμα ("the wave that was crossed by a solitary person", K.). This is one of many cases where K. invokes a 'magic word' (here enallage) to support an interpretation that goes against common sense. Another is the use of inconcinnitas to defend 11 φωνῇ (read φωνήν). -- 17. πολυμνήστῃσιν : Hesychius' πολυμνήστην : ἀγαθήν, σώφρονα is an interpretation from the Homeric context; it cannot be used to defend the transmitted text here (pace Giangrande). Read πολὺ μύστῃσιν (Diehl) or νήστῃσιν (Cataudella). -- 19-20. Ράριον ὀργίων' ἀνέμῳ διαποιπνώουσα | Δημήτρᾳ: according to K. this means "accompanying the priest of Demeter with religious inspiration." But ἄνεμος never means "religious inspiration" (perhaps -ι νόμῳ or ἀνεμώλια π-), and neither ὀργίων' nor ποιπνώουσα nor Δημήτρᾳ is acceptable Greek. Read a form of ὀργειών (accented thus; with metrical lengthening), -πνυ-, and Δήμητρα. -- 21. μελάθραν: if a noun μελάθρα existed, H. should have written μελάθρην. But it does not: H. wrote μέλαθρα (Meineke, rather than μέλάθρον, Musurus). -- 29. λεπτὴν δ' εἰς Ἰθάκην ἀνετείνετο: this cannot mean "made in his poem reference to small Ithaca." The particle must be deleted in any case (Dindorf), because the line carries the main verb to 27-8. H. may have written λεπτὴν ὡς Ἰθάκην ἀνετείνετο, "how subtly did he (Homer) versify Ithaca" (ὡς conieci, ᾗσ' and ἐνετείνατο Kaibel). -- 33. ἔκλαιε δ' Ἰκάρου τε γένος is unmetrical and incomprehensible. The name of Penelope's father is Ikarios (passim in the Odyssey) and Homer did not "bewail" (K.) his race but made it famous: read ἔκλεε δ' Ἰκαρίου κτλ. (Hermann and Bergk). -- 41. Λυσηίδος: read Λυδηίδος, "Lydian Lyde" (a cheap pun, yes). Even if Λυσηίς could mean "the priestess of Dionysus" (which I doubt), there is no evidence that Lyde was one. -- 45. ἄκρον ἐς κολοφῶνα: it is hard to see why Antimachus should have set up his desk on a high hill: he rather went ἄκρην ἐς Κολοφῶνα (etymological wordplay). -- 49. ἠράσαθ', ὕμνων | ... πολυφραδίῃ: no ancient reader would consider taking ὕμνων with πολυφραδίῃ at the end of the next line, not even in H. The comma should be deleted; genitive ὕμνων depends from the verb (or read ὑμνῶν?). -- 53-4. δουρὶ 'ν is not the solution to the transmitted δουρῖν. Aphaeresis in elegiacs is highly unlikely, and the result is dubious Greek regardless. -- 55. μυρίον ... λέκτρον: read Μύσιον ... Λεκτόν, the Trojan promontory which Anacreon would have seen on the Asian coast had he indeed stared over the Aeolian gulf yearning for Sappho (of course he would have had to be in Mytilene, not in Eresus). -- 57. πολυπρίωνα κολώνην: if the "Attic bee" Sophocles ever left home for Theoris, he must have left his deme Κολώνη, which H. probably called πολυπρήων. -- 58. ἐν τραγικαῖς ᾖδε χοροστασίας: K. comments: "the accusative is perfectly sound here, the point being that Sophocles sung choruses (χοροστασίας) in tragedies (ἐν τραγικαῖς)." One would like to see evidence for τραγικαί = τραγῳδίαι. Read χοροστασίαις (Musurus): Sophocles celebrated Bacchus and Theoris "in tragic stasima". -- 59. τὸν Ἔρωτ' ἀγειραιθειαρειδος: the exact text and sense of 59-60 are beyond recovery (A. has ἔρωτ' αγειραιθειαρειδος followed by a lacuna), but one can salvage more than K. does. The transmitted sequence probably hides a genitive Θεωρίδος (Lennep, Heinrich) from Θεωρίς, who is mentioned as Sophocles' mistress at Athenaeus 13.592a. This genitive can only have stood immediately after the caesura, and the article τόν indicates that it depended on ἔρωτα (uncapitalized; Sophocles celebrated a particular love rather than [the god of] Love). -- 62. συνοχῶν "ne veut rien dire " (Defradas); it should be obelized. -- 66. Αἰγείων μέθεπε δ' Ἀρχελάῳ ταμίην: unmetrical, read μέθεπεν δ' or μεθέπων Ἀρχέλεω. Αἰγείων is incomprehensible. It hides either a participle (ἀγρεύων· μέθεπεν δ' Headlam, carrying on the metaphor of 63-4) or a name (in which case read μεθέπων), most likely that of Euripides' lover (male: 63 σκολιοῖο), who would otherwise remain anonymous, against H.'s practice (e.g. Αἰγαῖον, derived from the Macedonian city Αἰγαί). -- 68. ἀμφὶ βίου στυγνῶν ἀντιάσαντα κυνῶν: ungrammatical and incomprehensible. The participle should congrue with 67 Εὐριπίδῃ, and therefore be in the dative (Musurus); ἀμφὶ βίου seems to hide the name of the owner of the dogs which tore Euripides apart (Ἀμφιβίου?). -- 69-74. The text printed by K. is ungrammatical: for 69 ἀνεθρέψαντο read (ἄνδρα δὲ τὸν Κυθέρηθεν) ὃν ἐθρέψαντο (τιθῆναι ... γιγνώσκεις, 73) with Hermann. In her commentary K. prints ὃν ἀνεθρέψαντο (unmetrical) and notes that ἀνέθρεψαντο is "perfectly sound." But what is at issue here is the construction of H.'s winding sentence not the sense of ἀνατρέφομαι. -- 72. διὰ πτόλεως: in her commentary K. rightly observes that Homer uses three genitive forms of πόλις, namely πόληος, πόλιος, and πτόλιος, and that πτόλεως is an absolute hapax (unless it is to be read at Eur. Tro. 1079). This should have made K. wonder what reason Hermesianax may have had to use a unique epicized Attic form where the regular epic form πτόλιος would have fit as well (verse end). There is no such reason: πτόλιος (Meineke) is what H. wrote. -- 73. γινώσκεις but 49 γιγνώσκεις: H. wrote either the one or the other, the editor must choose. Likewise 94 εὑράμενος after 87 εὑρόμενον (recte; A in both cases ). -- 77-8. Βιττίδα ... θοήν cannot mean "tall Bittis": read Βιττίδα μολπάζοντα, θοὸν περὶ πάντα Φιλιτᾶν (accented thus) κτλ., "Philitas, acute more than anyone..." With this (new?) solution θοός becomes understandable (it refers to Philitas' scholarly acumen) and the clause-division coincides with the caesura. -- 91. μηνίουσα: perhaps read μηνιόωσα (cf. A.R. 2.247, Opp. Hal. 3.607). -- 95. ἄνδρα Κυρηναῖον εἴσω: read ἄνδρα δὲ Κυρηναῖον ἔσω: no other section of the fragment begins without a connective particle and -υ- in Κυρήνη, -αῖος is normally long. After δέ had dropped out (haplography) a scribe has 'restored' the metre by changing ἔσω into εἴσω.
"χάλκειος is the epic variant of χάλκεος, just as χρύσειος is the epic variant of χρύσεος (cf. TLG 1262). In Homer the epithet is normally applied to weapons (cf. Hom. Od. 19.241 χάλκειον ἄορ); note that χαλκός is often used metonymically instead of weapons; the collocations Ἀχαιοὶ χαλκοχίτωνες (Hom. Od. 4.496, etc.) and χάλκεος Ἄρης (cf. Hom. Il. 16.543) are also very common."
In this note, which runs on like this for seven more lines, not a single element has any bearing on H.'s text. Remarks which assume unfamiliarity with the basic facts of epic diction, such as the first sentence of the note, occur everywhere (for example, on 42 πληγείς: "note that Theocritus, Callimachus and Apollonius Rhodius employ only the form πλήσσω not πλήττω"; or on 43: "θέτο is an unaugmented form"). The rest of the note is illustrative of the zeal with which K. lists the archaic, and especially the Homeric, antecedents of H.'s diction, no matter how unremarkable. The following 21-line note on θῆκαν provides more examples. Here K. cites, among many other 'parallels', Il. 2.319 λᾶαν γάρ μιν ἔθηκε and Pi. N. 4.81 στάλαν θέμεν, both unhelpful. The parallels she ought to have cited include Theocr. ep. 18.3-4 Gow χάλκεόν νιν ... ἀνέθηκαν and Posid. 14.4 Gow-Page χάλκεος ἑστήκω (cited by Bach and Bailey). This is by no means the only note where K.'s preoccupation with Homer makes her forget to look at H.'s contemporaries. Thus on 5 οἰχομένων she rightly notes that οἰχόμενος = "(the) deceased" is unhomeric but found in tragedy, but she omits the many examples in Hellenistic poetry (e.g. Call. fr. 4.73 Pfeiffer, Theocr. ep. 6.6 Gow, A.R. 2.839-40, 3.203-4) which indicate that H. was not the only poet (and probably also not the first) to use this tragic expression in dactylic verse. When K. does comment on the relation between H. and other Hellenistic poets, she tends to overestimate H.'s importance. It is, for example, unclear to me why Apollonius Rhodius' metaphorical use of τινάσσω (= ταράσσω) should have been inspired by H. 71 (cf. already Sappho 47, cited by K.).
Like other commentators in the series, K. devotes much space to issues of metre, and she is especially attentive to the line-position (sedes) of words. This is of some relevance, as Hellenistic poets tend to avoid being too Homeric by using common collocations in uncommon line-positions. But K. handles her critical tool in an altogether mechanical way: apparently, it is equally significant if words occur in a homeric sedes and if they occur in an unhomeric sedes. Worse, however, is that she does not distinguish in any way between pentameter and hexameter verse (e.g. in her notes on 42 ποταμοῦ, 43 θανοῦσαν, and 48 φορμίζων), and does not take into account the rules for word-placement in the hexameter. A typical example is her note on 15 ἔθηκεν: "Verse-end is the conventional sedes for this form, from Homer down to Manetho." But we are dealing here not with convention but with the rhythmical requirements of the verse: amphibrachic words cannot stand in any other position. The same objection applies to dozens of other notes (e.g. on 41 ἔρωτος, 71 τιναχθείς, 75 πολιῆται). K. is also unaware that not every word-end has the same rhythmical status: 43 ὑπὸ ξηρὴν θέτο γαῖαν does not violate the rule that "word-end after both the seventh and ninth elements of the same line is avoided" (Maas, Greek Metre 97), because the word-end after ὑπό does not constitute a rhythmical break; and verse end ὃν Γαλατείης at 73 certainly does not constitute a major pause after the bucolic diaeresis. K. often offers metrical observations on (sections of) the poem without attempting to explain their purpose (why, for example, is it significant that two of the fourteen verses on Orpheus are spondaic? [p. 20]), to investigate deeper causes or to wrap them up in a general evaluation. The latter would admittedly have been difficult, given the haphazard nature of her comments -- an observation which may be extended to her linguistic comments and the absence of an introductory section on H.'s language.
A hallmark of K.'s commentary is the ill-considered application of stylistic explanations to what is in fact semantically or grammatically required. An example is her note on 4 ἕλκεται ̔εἰς ἄκατον̓: "Hermesianax has employed here the middle form, which is very apposite, given the Hellenistic fondness for the middle form of verbs." Whatever one's ideas about Hellenistic poets' predilection for the middle, this general criterion clearly does not apply here: Charon drags the souls of the deceased into his barge (not someone else's). Likewise, there is nothing remarkable about the middle ἐνεπλήσατο in 45: Antimachus filled books with laments to his own purpose, namely to find relief (παυσόμενος rather than παυσάμενος) for his pangs. Linguistic missteps such as these occur on every page. Many even betray a feeble command of morphology: Iliad 1.72 ἣν διὰ μαντοσύνην (in which ἣν is a possessive) should not be adduced as parallel for 31 ἣν διὰ πολλὰ παθών (in which ἣν is a relative); A.R. 1.1057 γόων is a participle, not a noun as in H. (45), etc. Incorrect accents abound in both commentary and text (gravis before pause is more or less standard).
K.'s references to secondary literature are often more impressive than helpful. To her observation that 43 θέτο is an unaugmented form, she adds a reference to Poehlmann's Quomodo poetae epici augmento temporali usi sint, Gymnasium-Programm Tilsit 1858. Many lexicographical references are to Passow's Greek-German dictionary of 1841-57 rather than to LSJ -- translations are left in German, also the language of choice for technical terms (Selbstvariation, Klangwirkung, Marginalkorrektur, Wortstellung, Adjektivshäufung, Vorzeitigkeit, etc.). Ancient scholarship is adduced in an equally gratuitous way. Why, for example, do we need the Etymologicum Magnum to tell us that Homer's poems are ἀοιδαί? A reference to Il. 1.1 (or to LfgrE s. ἀοιδή, ἀοιδός, ἀείδω) would have sufficed. The difference between ad hoc interpretation and basic meaning, which Hellenistic poets knew very well (as their poems show), is lost on K. (see e.g. on 17 πολυμνήστῃσιν), as is the difference between connotation, usage, and meaning (e.g. on 25 ἀνεγράψατο and λίβρους).
Author, editors, and publisher cannot be congratulated on their decision to let this work appear in print. They ask us to buy a messy doctoral dissertation which was completed in 1979, and which has not ripened or been brought up to date since. Despite its scale (at least two pages per verse), K.'s book contributes little to our understanding of Hermesianax, while setting crooked much that others had set straight. Those interested in the poem's style are better served by Ellenberger, Couat, Huys, and Slings. For other issues Bach, Giarratano, Defradas, Bing, and Hardie may be consulted with more profit.
