Cavaliers hold off Tar Heels
David Droschak The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL ó No. 7 Virginia salvaged what was a disastrous week in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 71-67 win over slumping North Carolina on Saturday.
Roger Mason Jr. scored 18 points and sank four straight from the line over the final 41.1 seconds to seal the win.
The Tar Heels (5-8, 1-3 ACC) matched the school record for home losses in a season at five and fell to the Cavaliers for just the second time in 17 games in the Smith Center.
The Cavaliers (10-2, 1-2) were expected to battle No. 2 Duke and No. 4 Maryland for the ACC title with a veteran club. But they lost at home to N.C. State last Saturday and fell at Clemson by 16 at mid-week to fall into an early hole in the league.
Virginia was on the ropes again against a North Carolina team that gave up a school-record 112 points Wednesday night at Maryland.
The Cavaliers had trouble solving North Carolina's zone and couldn't manufacture much offense from its press.
They trailed by eight with 14:22 left, but minutes later the Tar Heels turned it over on four straight possessions. Mason scored on a fastbreak layup and 3-pointer to tie it and set the stage for a close final 12 minutes.
Mason's bank shot with 3:09 left broke a 63-63 tie, and a Chris Williams banker as the shot clock ran out on Virginia's next possession helped give the Cavaliers some breathing room before Mason ó the conference's leading foul shooter at 91 percent ó closed the door on the Tar Heels.
Williams added 15 points for the Cavaliers. Kris Lang led the Tar Heels with 18 points.

Cutouts Gone Wild!: Susanna Hoffs, "When You're a Boy"
Written by Jeff Giles• February 7, 2008• Cutouts Gone Wild!, Music
Susanna Hoffs – When You're a Boy (1991)
purchase this album (Amazon)
As longtime readers of this space are no doubt aware, I have a severe weakness for Susanna Hoffs, quite possibly as a result of having won tickets to a stop on the Bangles' Different Light tour, and thus being exposed to dangerously high levels of Hoffs rays at the tender age of eleven.
Anyway, I admit that I will use just about any excuse to write about the doe-eyed Bangle, but today it isn't my fault — I was all set to write about Club Nouveau's Listen to the Message, which was totally a cutout the last time I looked, but it turns out that the stupid Amazon MP3 store is selling it as a download.
I believe I was bitching about this exact phenomenon last week, was I not? Before long, we'll be stuck writing about Wesley Willis fanclub releases. Everything else will be back in print.
Until then, friends, we've got When You're a Boy.
Now, look, I'm certainly guilty of saying (and thinking) uncouth things about Ms. Hoffs, but I'm not blind to her faults, and even as a young and very foolish teenager, I was well aware of the fact that this was not the best title for an album by anyone, except maybe that stupid little French rapper — what was his name? Jordy? Whatever. You get my point.
Why no one at Columbia saw fit to suggest a better title — or just strip one into the artwork without telling Hoffs — I have no idea. The label certainly did its level best to emphasize her femininity in the video for the album's first single, "My Side of the Bed":
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/smye7LXn7hw" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Here's the problem, though: "My Side of the Bed" is a stupid, stupid song. People had been complaining for years that the Bangles had forgotten their power pop roots — and that Hoffs' moony ballads were the chief culprit. Essentially proving their argument with her first solo single was almost as dumb as calling her album When You're a Boy.
"My Side of the Bed," like many of Hoffs' worst songs, was co-written with Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, and it wasn't their only appearance on the album — they're also responsible for the soggy ballad "Unconditional Love" and the painfully dull "It's Lonely Out Here." Kelly and Steinberg's boring love songs aren't the only duds on the record, unfortunately, which is one of the reasons When You're a Boy has gotten such a bad rap over the years.
It does have its moments, though, and I'm not saying that just because I once stayed up past midnight to catch The Allnighter on pay cable. Boobs-for-hire like Kelly, Steinberg, and Diane goddamn Warren notwithstanding, Hoffs surrounded herself with a talented cast for this album, including Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro, Juliana Hatfield (who co-wrote the shoulda-been-a-hit "That's Why Girls Cry" [download]), and John Entwistle (who takes an embarrassing "additional bass" credit on the title-inspiring cover of Bowie and Eno's "Boys Keep Swinging" [download]).
Alas, after "My Side of the Bed" scraped the bottom of the Top 40, Columbia only saw fit to release the tepid "Unconditional Love" as a follow-up single — passing over the perfectly glossy "Wishing on Telstar" (download) — and the album wound up where it is today, going for less than a dollar at Amazon. What can I say? I liked some of it in 1991, and I still like some of it now.
Hoffs, to her credit, must have done something to piss off the shoe salesmen running Columbia; she apparently got at least partway through a follow-up release before the label cut her loose in the mid '90s. She eventually wound up working with another of my longtime favorites, David Baerwald, to shepherd her self-titled second album in 1996 — but I'm pretty sure that one is a cutout too, so you can guess how well the change in direction worked.
Ah, but that's a story for another column. Provided some asshole doesn't put it back in print, that is.

Home NCAA Women Special time in Baton Rouge as No. 1 UCLA visits No. 2...
Special time in Baton Rouge as No. 1 UCLA visits No. 2 LSU in beach volleyball
Lee Feinswog
LSU's Ashlyn Rasnick-Pope digs against UCLA last Sunday in Hawai'i/Jay Metzger photo
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — This is the other LA.
In beach-volleyball terms, it might as well be in another country than California.
But …
LSU senior Kristen Nuss might be the best player in NCAA beach volleyball.
She's from New Orleans.
LSU, which stands for Louisiana State University, might have the best team in NCAA beach volleyball.
And Saturday afternoon, the second-ranked Tigers play host to No. 1 UCLA, the team with which it split two matches last weekend in Hawai'i.
It almost makes Nuss giddy to think about now. And if you told her this could happen back when she was in high school?
"I definitely would not have believed you," she said.
"I would have questioned it a lot," she added with a laugh. "And it really is something special. To be playing on LSU's campus, No. 1 and No. 2. It's a big thing and I hope a lot of people realize how big of a thing it is and come out and see it because it's something that's never happened. I'm excited."
By all accounts the Louisiana beach volleyball world will turn out on what is expected to be a Saturday in the 70s with a soft breeze and bright sunshine, which will fade away with the 5:15 p.m. Central start. So the lights will be on from the start for the Tiger Beach Challenge that will feature the biggest NCAA beach match in the history of the state. This is the seventh year of LSU beach volleyball.
Both teams open Saturday's play with other opponents. UCLA faces Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 11:15 a.m. and then LSU plays Houston Baptist.
LSU struggled last Saturday at Hawai'i, opening with a sweep of Stanford but then falling 4-1 to UCLA and then Hawai'i 3-2.
But the Tigers bounced back in a big way and opened Sunday's play with a 4-1 win over Hawai'i before beating UCLA 3-2 for the tournament title.
LSU was previously 0-8 against UCLA, "so beating UCLA was fun to do and something we don't take lightly," LSU coach Russell Brock said. "It was very gratifying and for us and set the tone moving forward this year."
They say a football team improves the most from the first game to the second. Was that what happened from Saturday to Sunday for LSU?
"We flew on Friday and then had a little practice and woke up Saturday (four times zones behind) and played," Brock said. "That's a pretty significant jolt to the system. I think that was part of it. The second day was still a four-hour difference, obviously, but we were able to understand how our bodies would perform and kind of recalibrated to that. And even emotionally we were really good on day two."
In that Sunday match, UCLA took a 2-0 lead when Lindsey Sparks and Lexi Denaburg swept Jess Schaben and Sydney Moore at No. 2 and Megan Muret and Devon Newberry swept Allison Coens and Hunter Domanski at No. 5.
LSU made it 2-1 when the No. 4 pair of Kelli Agnew and Taryn Kloth beat Rileigh Powers and Madi Yeomans, and then tied it when No. 1s Nuss and Claire Coppola rallied to beat Abby Van Winkle and Savvy Simo 16-21, 24-22, 15-11. The day before, Simo and Van Winkle won 21-17, 21-14.
So it came down to No. 3, where on Saturday Lily Justine and Lea Monkhouse of UCLA beat LSU's Ashlyn Rasnick-Pope and Toni Rodriguez 21-19, 17-21, 15-8. Sunday, the Tigers turned the tables and won 23-21, 18-21, 15-13.
There's no reason to think the exact same lineups won't go at it again Saturday.
In LSU's case, Nuss and Coppola, a senior from Scottsdale, Arizona, are a fixture at No.1.
"They didn't have their best weekend last weekend, which is even more impressive that we finished as well as we did and they were not on their A game," Brock said, and Nuss agreed.
Schaben, a 6-foot-2 product of Iowa, is a graduate transfer from Iowa State and surprising everyone how quickly she's adapted to the beach game. Moore is a freshman from Ohio.
At No. 3, Rasnick-Pope, the sophomore defender from Dallas, and Rodriguez, the 6-1 graduate student from nearby St. Amant who was granted a sixth year of NCAA eligibility, might be the LSU X factor.
LSU's Taryn Kloth puts up the big block against UCLA's Madi Yeomans/Jay Metzger photo
The No. 4 duo was named the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association pair of the week as Kloth and Agnew went a stunning 5-0 last weekend.
"I think it was great and I'm honored, but I think winning the entire tournament and what LSU has done in beach volleyball the past couple of years is more important," Kloth said. "We're doing everything we can to put ourselves in a good position at the end of the year. So the overall team win was the biggest win of the weekend."
Agnew is a sophomore from Glendale, Arizona, while the 6-4 Kloth is a second-season graduate transfer from Creighton, where she was an indoors star.
"They're both very talented, both have incredible gifts, but not a lot of developed chemistry history between each other because they haven't played with each other very long," Brock said. "So for them to be able to play like a genuine partnership at such a high level against that competition for five matches, was really impressive."
Kloth, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, had never played beach volleyball when she got to LSU last year. She played sparingly for the Tigers but not in the NCAA Championship in Gulf Shores and recognizes how much she's improved.
"I was talking to Jess about this and Toni (who played indoors for LSU). It is a transition process," Kloth said. "And you have to know that coming in. You have to know that it's going to be a process, it's going to be frustrating, it's going to be challenging, but it's meant to be.
"It's fun, but it's a completely different sport. That's why you get to play another year of it."
At No. 5, LSU has Coens, a sophomore from Kansas, and Domanski, a junior from New Braunfels, Texas.
UCLA has won the last two NCAA titles. The Bruins had mixed results last weekend at Hawai'i, beating the home team 3-2 and then LSU 4-1 before sweeping Stanford on Saturday. Sunday, UCLA swept Stanford again before losing to LSU.
After the weekend, UCLA stayed No. 1 in the AVCA Coaches Poll and LSU moved up a notch to its highest ranking ever.
So now we have No. 1 vs. No. 2 at LSU.
"It's pretty far-fetched in the grand scheme of things," Brock admitted.
It's happened before for LSU, while not in beach volleyball. This past November, of course, No. 1 LSU beat No. 2 Alabama in a pretty big football game. But no matter how you look at it, 1 vs. 2 is rare.
But this?
Brock has his own take on what he would have thought years ago if you'd suggested it.
"Honestly I probably would have been disappointed that we were 2 and they were 1 and not the other way around," he said with a smile.
"But from the beginning we felt like this year would be the one where we could be pretty good."
That's not lost on the Tigers, but it's early in a relatively short season that culminates with the NCAA Collegiate Beach Volleyball Championship the first weekend of May in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
"We're here, we're here to win it this year," Nuss said, "but it's only the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do."
LSU will be home again Sunday, playing Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Tulane, and Springhill. UCLA is here just for Saturday's action, but the two teams will play again in the East Meets West Invitational on April 11 on Manhattan Beach.

There are numerous signs along the road to warn of driving conditions and restrictions before tourists even start over to the island. These two signs caught my eye the other morning. This one - warning of crocodiles - has been up since a big crocodile was sighted somewhere on the western side of the island a couple of years ago. Saltwater crocodiles are top predators and people are definitely part of their food chain! When I first came here about 10 years ago there were no known crocodiles this far south. However, the sighting of one on Fraser Island and two that are seen every now and again in the Mary River just north of here, have definitely changed my attitude to wading happily through any deeper water!
I don't remember seeing this sign warning about dingoes - but maybe I just haven't been looking! There have been a number of recent warnings about how aggressive dingoes can be when they have young ones. There are definitely a lot of dingoes on the Island but I also occasionally see them around here as well. Lots of people - especially tourists! - forget the dingoes are wild animals and also predators!
There was a lot of fog around when I first got out to Inskip Point the other morning. West across the sand island was very dark but there were a lot of birds visible out there - mainly pelicans and cormorants from what I could see.
Looking east the sun was shining through a thick bank of fog and creating an interesting lighting effect.
The early morning sunlight gave a yellow tint to both the birds and the sand. It also enhanced the color on the front of the Curlew Sandpiper. That red color is the remnant of the bright red breeding colors. The other birds are Double-banded Plovers - some with breeding colors and some without. I posted photos of these last week.
As soon as I saw the color on the Curlew Sandpiper I wanted to get better photos of these birds. I saw at least 3 birds with this color on them. However, there was constant movement among these little birds and the ones I wanted to photograph seemed to be constantly hidden behind another bird or else turned away from me. This photo caught a Curlew Sandpiper on the left (with what looks like an orange flag on its leg!) and a Terek Sandpiper on the right. I needed other photos of both these birds!
The Terek Sandpiper surprised me as I have not previously seen one at Inskip. The Terek Sandpiper has an upturned bill and orange/yellow legs. Usually I see them roosting in mangrove trees - often with Grey-tailed Tattlers. They also look bigger roosting in the trees than this one did walking around with these smaller birds!
Here are my photos of what the Point is like now - but unfortunately I cannot get the same perspective as the TV news has with their view from a helicopter. The barges to Fraser Island are now picking up vehicles right at the end of the point where the sand now drops into the water very steeply.
The photos above were taken last week a day after the wash-out and it appears to me this morning that there might even be a little more washed away.
I was out there soon after sunrise this morning - before there were people or cars around. There were numbers of Terns roosting on the sand. These are Caspian Terns - the largest Tern we see around here.
There were also numbers of Crested Terns which are so common here that I didn't even try to get photos of them. However, they are out of focus in this photo of Double-banded Plovers which were also roosting out there.
The Double-banded Plovers, that we see here, breed in the braided river channels in South New Zealand and spend their winter here in Australia where it is lots warmer. They will soon return to New Zealand for the breeding season and this morning I saw numbers of them in breeding plumage and nice and plump ready for their flight. With shorebirds - fat is energy! - and they burn it all up on their migration flights.
It took me ages to get close to these little fellows. I shuffled forward a foot or so at a time! Then suddenly all the birds on the Point flew up and away. I looked around and there was a dog - off the lead - and having a lovely time! All dogs are supposed to be on leads out at Inskip Point! I looked for the owner and he/she called the dog back and then went back into the bush beside the track - still without putting the dog on its lead!


I was struck by the use of this word because, having been a student of sociology, I have come to understand the dynamics of subcultures very well. Yet, in all of my analysis about law school, never once had I described it that way. But yes, it dawned on me in that moment; that is exactly what law school is.
Clearly, we fall into the social group category. Perhaps law schools could be even further defined based on their region.
But let's turn to the tougher question: What are the distinct characteristic patterns of law students that make us different from others?
I think this question is one many of us have pondered in the first couple weeks of school. First years are getting acquainted with the law school way of life and wondering how they fit in. Second and third years are trying to paint themselves as "ideal" law students in order to get those OCIs and articling jobs.
Before law school, we all led diverse lives, so it's hard to draw connections prior to starting this career. However, there are some common denominators that stand out: people enter law school as highly accomplished, bright individuals with a strong work ethic and lots of ambition.
So that's our starting point; we're keen overachievers. Pretty obvious.
What changes, then, after that? What further distinguishes a law student? Who is the "ideal" law student? Why does it become so difficult to have a non-law conversation with non-law students?
I should clarify that this article is not heading in an elitist direction. To be honest, the fact that law school is such a closed subculture is kind of off-putting to me. I'm not sure if this place brings out the best in people or the worst.
In my first article for Canadian Lawyer 4Students, I wrote about the competitive nature of law school and called for more collaboration. So competitiveness is probably the first characteristic I'd use to define the subculture.
The reason for this is pretty clear. There are a couple of hundred straight-A students in one graduating class striving to continue their record of academic achievement when only 10 per cent of us can actually do so. Those hundreds of keeners then go on to compete for the same jobs and have to stand out from the rest to get it.
In sum, high competition in conjunction with ambition and a strong work ethic are definitely defining features of law school.
What else? What do we idealize in our peers? In any subculture, whether it's a religious group, a criminal organization or a sports team, there are traits that are held in higher regard than others and those members who embody them are revered.
Perhaps it's high marks and top jobs at big firms that get people's admiration in the law school bubble. That would be the easy answer anyways.
The OCI season definitely highlights that feeling. It seems like everyone who applied to OCIs wrote a very similar cover letter: "I'm a leader but also a proven team player; I've got experience in your area of law, but I'd like to expand my knowledge; I have strong values and a unique personality, but I'm very versatile and will adapt to any situation I find myself in." It all sounds a bit contradictory, doesn't it? So really, what do we respect in our peers?
I've had more than a few conversations about this question in the past few weeks, but to be honest, there was no consensus. A more cynical student might say unless you've got a Bay Street job lined up to match your straight-A average, you're not going to get much recognition at the law school stage. A slightly more optimistic person would say there are so many opportunities in law school, you can excel in a variety of areas and there will be people who take notice and admire you for it.
I'd like to think that it's not just top marks and big firm jobs that gain respect in law school. Like I said earlier, we're a very diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds, surely we're going to have different goals. Shouldn't they all be respected?
I'm afraid there isn't a clear answer to that second question, so I'll jump to the third: Why does it become so difficult to have a non-law-related conversation with a non-law student?
Well, that's easier. Law school is hard. It's all consuming. You work harder than you ever have before and dedicate 90 per cent of your time to the task. All of a sudden in first year, you're thinking only in terms of estoppel, liability, division of powers, and then only beyond a reasonable doubt. You speak only in short forms and acronyms, saying SCC, OCI, PFJ, LHD, and IRAC and your non-law friends say WTF?! Another element of subcultures is dialects.
Law school is definitely a unique experience no matter how we differ in our descriptions. And there are certainly enough distinguishing features to argue that it is a subculture of a sort.
Now, being a member of a subculture isn't necessarily negative, but it is something to be mindful of. Maintaining perspective and exposure to the "real world" is probably recommendable — even if it's just to make sure our non-law-school friends don't ditch us!


- Lay on a bed of thread and tie in the tails then build up the thread just thick enough for the tungsten body to grip the hook shank (the low build properties if UTS give perfect control over this).
- Stick the nymph body to the shank with a blob of superglue.
- Tie in the rib at the back of the body then wind the tying thread up to the grooved area at the head end of the nymph body.
- Wind the Ultimate Body/Rib in touching turns and tie off on the underside of the head. For added effect you can colour the rib with a waterproof marker pen.

Tzemach Tzadik by Rabbi Leone di Modena Chapter 37 Gluttony
Back to chapter 36 about abstinence
Translated by Ralph Anzarouth and an anonymous friend
Gluttony:
As we know, the glutton and the guzzler eats and drinks more than is proper. The Torah has already spoken concerning the wayward and rebellious son. Our Sages of blessed memory said [concerning him] (Talmud Bavli, tractate Sanhedrin 70a): "Until he drinks a half log measure of wine and eats a Tartimor of meat1." And they further add (ibid. 72a) that he is subject to the death penalty because of what he will turn out to be, since the Torah said that he will seek to fulfill his obsession and when he will not find [the means] he will ultimately resort to violent robbery.
Under the same category can also be included those who seek to eat gourmet food and royal dishes, even in small quantities.
This trait of gluttony is found in the bird known as the vulture, whose excessive desire is such that it will travel a hundred miles in order to eat even a minimal quantity of a putrid carcass. For this reason it will always be found in the battlefield. Wherever it is seen, it is a sign of war.
The glutton and the guzzler destroys his memory, loses his mind, contaminates his blood, dims his eyesight, diminishes his strength, causes depravity, brings about harmful diseases, shortens his life and consumes every good aspect of a person.
King Solomon said (Proverbs 23, 20-21): "Do not be among wine-guzzlers, among gluttonous eaters of meat for themselves, for the guzzler and the glutton will become impoverished2." Osea said (Osea 4, 11): "Depravity, wine and new wine take away the heart.". King Solomon further said (Proverbs 23, 31): "Do not look at wine when it is red2." He also said (ibid. 21, 17): "One who loves wine and oil will not become rich", and in the holy writing wine is always understood to mean both food and drink. Our sages of blessed memory said (Talmud Bavli, tractate Pesachim 114a): "One who eats fat meat will hide in the attic [to escape his creditors]; whereas one who eats vegetables will sit [at ease] at the gates of the city". And in tractate Shabbat (folio 151b), concerning the verse (Malachi 2, 3) "I will cast excrement on your faces, the excrement from your festive sacrifice", Rabbi [Rav Huna and some say Rav Chaga] said that this is referring to those who forsake the study of Torah and spend their days as if they were festive banquets. They further interpret this verse that 3 days after a man's death, his stomach splits open and the waste is expelled and an angel comes and takes it up and throws it on his mouth saying "Take the fruits of your toil".
Aristotle said that those who pursue food and drink are compared to animals. Someone else said: "One will toil in vain if he tries to conquer the rest of his inclinations without first overcoming gluttony, since this is the precursor of depravity, pride and all the [other] evils."
As it is known, the first Mitzvah which Hashem commanded our ancestor [Adam] and his wife Chava in this world concerned eating; and since they did not fulfill this Mitzvah they brought death upon themselves and their descendants until the end of all the generations. Some of our Sages of blessed memory say (Talmud Bavli, tractate Berakhot 4b) that [the forbidden fruit] was the vine; some say it was wheat and some say it was a fig. Therefore one should be extremely cautious in matters of eating and drinking, as it is written (Proverbs 13, 25): "The righteous eats to satisfy his soul, while the stomach of the wicked is not satisfied".
Note of the translators:
[1] Both of these are very excessive measure.

The Action In Battlefield 5 Might Happen During The First World War
byAlexander Puru
Battlefield stood in recent years as far away from the roots which have enshrined the series, from the first world wars, the location was moved BF titles either currently or in the future, depending on what the focus group said. However, a return to form seemed impossible. Until recently when a Swiss retailer, we suspect accidentally, some information about the Battlefield 5, these revealing that next game takes place during World War I.
World of Games is responsible for the leak, first month hobby retailer where the game is going to occur, i.e. October and the fact that the game is set in World War I. Indicated even by World of Games, they redactand in the description of the Shooter game "Mehrspieler Taktik Shooter im 1. Weltkrieg" which translated means "tactical multiplayer game which takes place in the first world war".
Unfortunately nobody knows if it's a mistake on behalf of the retailer or a leak of information, but one thing is certain… the page no longer exists, having been deleted shortly. However, Dice have not confirmed or disproved anything relating to a new game. But if history has taught us anything, similar leaks have occurred in the past and came to be true, so there is still hope. Besides that, there's a number of rumors mentioning that COD might return to its roots this year too.
Judging by the fact that, not long ago, we received a name for one of the future projects from Dice, Battlefield 5: Armageddon, listed on IMDB, a post that seems to have evaporated in the meantime is it possible for the action to take place in Japan.
Stay tuned! We will get back as soon as we have more details.

Q: git pull and bogus local changes I see this has been asked many times already, usually with different caveats. In my case, I'm using git to deploy changes from my local dev box, up to a git server, and finally, to pull changes onto a web server via cron job.
My workflow is this:

*

*Commit changes to local working copy

*Push changes to upstream server (created as a bare repo, which I pushed my local to)

*git pull -Xingore-space-at-eol on the web server

In theory this should work. However, git refuses to do this, seemingly choosing file(s) at random that it believes have local changes.
Updating bb48022..7eff182
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        app/models/User.php
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

On the web server, I have performed a few file changes - I've added untracked files, and I have changed permissions. git is configured with filemode = false, and I also used git config --global core.autocrlf true to enable auto CRLF handling.
git diff --ignore-space-at-eol returns no differences. git status shows a about a dozen "Changes not staged for commit", but those files haven't really been changed in any way I can notice.
I have tried stashing the erroneous local changes with
git stash
git pull
git stash pop

But it fails just the same at git pull
My only working option at this point is to blow away the entire cloned folder and do a fresh clone each time, followed by applying permission changes and doing a composer install
I must be missing a fundamental concept here. Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: Found a solution. The issue was related to end-of-line management. One dev box is Windows, another is Linux, the git server is Linux, and the web server is Linux.
On the Windows box, I found that git status and git diff showed the same modified files not staged for commit. My .gitattributes file has * text=auto in it, which means that git will try to automatically determine the proper end-of-line to use for all text. For some reason, my Windows box had an index that was not in sync. Following the directions here - http://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_end_of_line_conversion - I did the following:
$ rm .git/index     # Remove the index to force Git to
$ git reset         # re-scan the working directory
$ git status        # Show files that will be normalized
$ git add -u
$ git add .gitattributes
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"

I performed a fresh clone on the web server and did a few test changes. It seems to be working properly now.


As an immigration attorney, I recognize that the justice system may place seemingly unjust burdens upon foreign nationals applying for a visa, permanent residency, or citizenship.
This was highlighted in a recent case, Toro v. Sec. for the Dept. of Homeland Security, et al, in which Aracelys Toro, a Venezuelan national was denied a permanent residency status due to her Cuban husband's inadmissibility under the Cuban Refugee Act of 1966. Her husband was denied residency as a result of prior criminal violations, which led to Toro's subsequent denial as well.
Toro later appealed the decision by the U.S. Customs and Immigration Services and asked the agency to grant her residency on the basis of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 which had been amended to the Cuban Refugee Act. This statute permits battered spouses of Cuban aliens to self-petition for residency status.
Upon appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office, Toro was again denied a permanent residency. The AAO supported prior USCIS decisions stipulating that Toro's husband did not meet the qualification that he must be admissible to the U.S. for permanent residence. The AAO also supported its decision with the reasoning from the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision in the Matter of Quijada-Coto.
Toro subsequently filed a complaint in the U.S. district Court. She supported her appeal on the basis that her petition's denial was in conflict with the intent of Congressional legislators who drafted the law. She also argued that the Fifth Amendment's equal protection clause should enable her to receive permanent residency. The district court judged in favor of USCIS due to the plainness of the language in CAA.
Toro appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. This court too found in favor of USCIS. Once again the court found the simple language of the Cuban Refugee Act to unequivocally convey the intent of Congress. Therefore because Toro's husband is disqualified from seeking permanent residency, the appellant is also justly denied residency status as well. Although Toro argued that only the first two clauses should govern applications and the other three are only guidelines, the Appeals Court found no reason to support that distinction.
Toro also argued under the equal protection clause that she should not be disqualified on the basis of her husband's inadmissibility. The court found that VAWA protection in relation to self-petitioning was intended to prevent a spouse from using the petitioning process as a means of control. Because the husband had already been denied, no such control issue pertained.
As an immigration attorney, I am constantly confronted by new cases with unique circumstances. It is a source of endless fascination to me how the justice system decides such complex and groundbreaking cases. The lessons learned from Toro and similar cases help me provide advice and assistance to my clients.

Vundabar Unveil Video for New Single 'Aphasia'
by Konstantinos Pappis
Vundabar. Credit: CJ Harvey
Vundabar have released a new track called 'Aphasia', marking the Boston-based trio's first song since last year's Either Light. The single, which features guest vocals from Indigo De Souza, arrives with a new B-side, 'Ringing Bell'. Listen to both tracks below.
"The creation of this song was sparked by my dad having a stroke that has resulted in global aphasia," Vundabar singer and guitarist Brandon Hagen explained in a press release. "That happening, on top of quarantine, produced a crisis within a crisis. The song originated as being about having difficulty describing the world and yourself, and then my pops' stroke happened and it felt uncanny and fated."
'Aphasia' is accompanied by a video created by Hagen's sister and her boyfriend. "My sister is a producer/director, her boyfriend is a cinematographer and I make songs so we took all of our sadness, nervous energy and fear of death and channeled it into making something light and fun – something to counterbalance what we were dealing with," Hagen said. "It feels fitting that the video is about vampires, your classic death creature, having a goofy romp – it reflects what we were trying to do – flip a feeling on its head, and that feels very Vundabar-ish."
Y La Bamba Announce New Album 'Lucha', Release New Single


I'm glad to be reminded of this one. Having grown up with GC's VERY cornball variety hour, I blew him off and haven't revisited. This song is amazing… Wish I'd heard Freedy's cover….
Liz, you're in luck. He's got two versions available on iTunes, however, neither quite rock like the live performance I remember. He did a studio version for the "Unlucky" CD which is very nice. There's also a live version, not with a full band (I don't think), that I'm less familiar with.
If you don't "do" iTunes, let me know and I'll burn it for you, baby.
Thanks, JP. I do iTunes, and will look this up. This song (GC version) has been in my head all day, pushing The Carpenters' "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" right to the curb.


Article appearing in N. Y. Journal of Commerce, Feb. 5, 1917.
*Chemical Expert of the United States Department of Commerce.Pressure of Necessity Put American Practical Scientists on Their Mettle and Produced Astonishing Results.
Among the economic results in this land, consequent upon the existence of the world conflict across the water, none has equalled in permanent importance and in dramatic interest the swift evolution of a distinctly American artificial dyestuff industry.
Prior to the war there was such an industry in name. In some six establishments less than 400 operatives manufactured so-called "American coal tar colors" to the extent of 3,300 short tons annually. As a matter of fact, the manufacture consisted in the "assembling" of coal tar intermediates, made almost entirely in Europe, chiefly in Germany. Nine-tenths of the work involved in producing a pound of these "American" dyes had been performed on the banks of the Rhine, or the Main, or the Spree. The bulk of the artificial colors regularly consumed by our textile, paper, ink, varnish, pigment and allied branches was imported directly from Europe. Of the 26,000 tons thus brought over 22,000 were of German origin.
To-day we are fast approaching the point at which nearly all of the staple synthetic dyes normally needed in the nation's industrial activities will be regularly produced in American factories from American coal tar and by American chemists and operatives. This has meant a marvellous joint effort on the part of all concerned capital, technical and executive staffs and skilled labor. The annals of our industrial evolution present no similar example of the swift creation of a new form of productive mechanism, the most complex probably on our planet.
In the first place, it has been necessary to vastly enlarge the output of our coal tar industry so as to furnish in abundance the few "crudes" from which an army of useful products are systematically derived. Benzol, toluol, naphthalene, phenol and their homologues are now produced on a scale adequate for the world's needs under normal conditions.
Next came the manufacture on a generous scale from these crudes of the various intermediates required to make not only dyestuffs but synthetic medicinals, high explosives, photographic chemicals, artificial perfumes, etc. The only intermediate manufactured here before the war was aniline. There was a modest annual output of 800 tons. To-day the yearly production is 25,000 tons. A host ot> other intermediates, none of which were regularly made in the United States three years ago, are now currently produced in American works. Before the close of 1917 there will be few, if any, coal tar intermediates not regularly made on our soil.
Finally we witness twoscore establishments systematically turning out finished artificial colors on a vast scale, constantly increasing in variety and total amount. The output is now at the annual rate of about 27,000 short tons. With the advent of 1918 it will probably exceed 30,000 tons.
The efforts of those engaged in building up this new industry have been chiefly concentrated, at the outset, upon the manufacture in great quantities of a few important staple dyes, enough to meet the more pressing needs for an adequate gamut of color in the case of each of the leading textile fibers, of paper, ink, leather, etc. At present over 100 such synthetic dyes are regularly made.
The total number of distinct dyes and modifications of dyes, as enumerated in the "Census of Dyestuffs," published at the close of 1916 by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is 5,675. Many of these are consumed in quantities ranging annually from 100 pounds to 5,000 pounds. The necessary arrangements for producing all of these minor tinctorial forms will be made in due time, but at present circumstances dictate the concentration of effort and equipment upon a few of the leading types.
We are thus fairly on the way to witness the creation on American soil at a very early date of a symmetrical, well rounded, comprehensive American synthetic color industry, emancipating us very soon from all dependence upon foreign sources of such dyes as we use in tolerably large amounts.
A very few colors of recent invention and of pronounced permanent value, notably in the anthracene, indanthrene and carbazole groups, will continue to enjoy patent protection for periods ranging from one to eight years. Prospectively we may look forward to 1925 as a date when, at the present rate of expansion, the American production of synthetic colors should cover the entire American demand.
Two typical cases may serve to illustrate the rapidity and the resolute determination with which American enterprise is tackling the big problem.
Artificial indigo is the most important synthetic coal tar derivative consumed in this land. The importation for the fiscal year 1913-1914 was 8,500,000 pounds, consisting chiefly of the 20 per cent paste. The great "Badische" works on the Rhine expended $5,000,000 in perfecting the manufacture of this dyestuff before a single pound was placed upon the market.
Late in 1915 a strong American chemical company began the construction of the requisite plant for the production of artificial indigo. Over $500,000 has been invested in this plant, which is now about to furnish two and one-quarter short tons daily of the 20 per cent paste, or about 750,000 pounds annually. It will cover about 9 per cent of the domestic consumption. When construction was begun in 1915 indigo was on the free list. Since September 8, 1916, there is a protective duty of 30 per cent.
Next to indigo comes sulphur black in point of importance. The annual consumption in the United States was 5,600,000 pounds during the fiscal year 1913-1914. The entire amount came from Europe. About twenty American companies have entered upon the manufacture of this color, and the point has now been nearly reached when the production is fully equal to the normal domestic consumption.
A general review of the situation is incomplete without some reference to the role played by natural organic colors. The pinch of a genuine "dyestuff famine" at the close of 1915 was largely alleviated by a vastly augmented output in American factories of the staple, old-fashioned colors, such as logwood, fustic, quercitron, cutch, hypernic, etc. This has led to a more generous and general recognition of the actual value of the natural dyes in any well-balanced scheme for tinctorial practice. In the future under normal conditions intelligent American dyers will use this category of colors far more freely and much more effectively than has been the case for a generation past.
In this connection we may well be proud of what has been done by the combined efforts of the Forest Service and of private enterprise in adding the beautiful yellow of the osage orange to the series of natural dyes of recognized commercial and tinctorial value.
Of possibly equal promise is the delicate "golden leaf" color, the manufacture of which has been perfected during the past few months a product of our Northern forests.
All in all, 1916 is a memorable year in the annals of American chemical technology; and the most brilliant page is that devoted to the achievements of the men creating our new, national, artificial color industry.


In this guide I explain how to remove the keyboard from a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop.
You can use the guide for replacing the keyboard or removing the hidden memory module.
There are two memory slots in this model. One of them located on the button and another one under the keyboard.
Let's take it apart. First of all, turn it off and remove the battery.
Remove two screws securing memory cover on the bottom.
Carefully spread latches on both sides of the slot.
Pull the memory by the edges.
In the following steps we'll remove the keyboard and access the internal slot.
Lift up the left side of the power button cover with a small screwdriver.
The power button cover has been removed.
Lift up the keyboard from the laptop. Be careful because it is still attached to the motherboard.
If you are replacing the keyboard, you have to unlock the cable connector first. Only after that you can pull the cable from the connector.
In order to unlock the connector, very carefully move the locking clip about 2 millimeters towards the LCD screen.
Do not disconnect the locking clip from the connector base. The connector clip must stay attached to the base.
The cable is jammed between the locking clip and connector base.
After you unlock the connector, you can pull the cable and remove the keyboard completely.
If you are just removing the internal memory module, it's not necessary to disconnect the keyboard. Simply turn it upside down and place on the palmrest.
Remove two screws from the internal memory slot cover. Remove the cover.
Remove memory module from the internal slot same way you removed from the external slot.
You are awesome, My sound does not work on my 700m and needed the validation to go ahead and take the system apart….thanks!
The other day a friend gave me his dying Dell 700m, I found the fan cannot move because of dust jammed. The hard disk had too many bad sectors, most probably due to heat problem, and also the speakers' wire broken problem.
Follow your instructions I fixed all these and had this tiny laptop playing with.
I followed the steps above the cables were indeed broken but the worse part is that my screen was working perfectly and now its gone black, I can only see with an external monitor, Help, how do I fix that?
Thank you very much. Your instructions and shots are very clear and allowed me to upgrade my 700M in in just 10 minutes, start to finish.


Crate training a dog involves teaching a dog to stay in a crate on command.
A dog crate is basically a portable kennel made of either plastic or metal. If the training is properly done, the crate should provide a safe place for a dog, a "den" if you will.
Crate training a dog is a controversial subject at best. There are pros and cons for crate training. We will take a brief look at both sides of this issue and then discuss some points on how to crate train a dog.
Proponents of crate training insist that dogs are "den creatures" by nature, and it is natural for a dog to want to seek an enclosed place during certain periods of the day.
Critics of crate training insist that crate training is nothing more than "caging" a dog, which is cruelty. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. As with anything, crates can be overused and perceived as punishment by the dog.
Why would anyone want to crate train a dog in the first place? Crates for dogs are used for several purposes.
First, it is used to help housebreak a dog. Dogs do not urinate or defecate in their dens. Therefore, when house breaking a dog, the dog is kept in the crate during feeding time, or play time.
Then the dog is taken outside and encouraged to relieve itself in a place the owner wants to designate as the "potty area."
This is basically the same as how to crate train a dog for potty training.
Crate training a dog also has other uses. When dogs spend time at a veterinary clinic, they are kept in cages.
If a dog already feels comfortable in its crate, it will suffer far less stress at the clinic, and less anxiety.
The same is true during transporting a dog for any reason, whether for the family vacation or moving. A crate should be used during the move to both keep the dog safe and comfortable.
There are several steps to crate training a dog. Of course it is easier to start when the dog is a puppy. However, a dog can learn to stay in a crate at any age.
An older dog will just require more time and patience to unlearn old habits and learn the new one.
It is important to make the learning fun for the dog.
Another important thing is to have a potty training schedule. That way, your dog will adapt to the time and make it easier for you to predict when it will eliminate.
If done correctly, especially with the help of a proper trainer, you could potty train your dog in 5 to 7 days!
Treats and praise should be provided during the training process. This will give the dog a positive attitude about the process. Crates should never be used as punishment.
The crate itself should be comfortable and large enough for the dog to stand and turn around.
A puppy should only be left in the crate for three to four hours, and an adult dog should spend no more than about eight hours in the crate. It is very important to keep the crate clean.
When beginning the process of crate training a dog, keep several things in mind. First, the dog may whine and put up a fuss.
If this occurs, most professional canine trainers encourage the owner to ignore the fussing until the dog is quiet before letting the dog out. This will reinforce the correct behavior.
Praise and treat the dog when it behaves correctly.
Start slow. Don't crate your dog for several hours at the start. This will instill the wrong impression of the crate with the dog. You may have to start with only a few minutes at a time.
As said earlier, you can expedite the process with a qualified trainer.
Just be sure and wait until the fussing has stopped before you let the dog out of the crate. Since dogs are social animals, it may be best if the crate is kept in the room where the most people are most of the time.
The most important thing is to have patience with your dog. A well-trained dog is a well-behaved dog and an enjoyable member of your family.

Tourist's guide to Costa da Caparica – beach town in the west Portugal
Costa da Caparica is a popular beach resort that spans the luxurious Atlantic coast of Portugal. The territory of Costa da Caparica – 10 square meters. km, population – about 11 thousand people.
Even in the second half of the 20 tbsp. only a small handful of local residents knew about this place. However, thanks to the active construction of new hotels, the arrangement of clean beaches and the improvement of infrastructure, the former fishing village quickly turned into a vibrant tourist center with a mild climate and various leisure and entertainment options.
The climate is warm and pleasant. In the summer, the air warms up to + 25 … + 28 ° C, in winter the temperature drops to comfortable + 13 … + 16 ° C. In the spring and in the second half of autumn in Portugal it often rains, but this does not greatly affect the excellent weather conditions. The beach season lasts from May to mid-October, although the ocean is never very warm here – the maximum water temperature is – 19 ° C.

But there are an incredible amount of fish, vegetables and exotic fruits – all the goodies are sold directly on the beach. Moreover, thanks to the resort's favorable geographical location, you can easily get to any point in Portugal, located within the Greater Lisbon metropolitan area, and go to boutiques or large shops.
Beach Features
Cape Espichel
The coastline of Costa da Caparica extends for 30 km and ends at Cape Espichel. Its main advantage is magnificent white sand and a gentle slope to the water. The water here is incredibly clean, there are big waves regularly.
Old-timers at this resort claim that the ideal time for swimming is from September to October. In summer, the water is slightly cooler – the influence of underwater currents affects. True, this fact does not stop vacationers, and the heat allows you to plunge into the ocean. Regular visitors to the resort are residents of Portugal, as well as foreign tourists whose planes land at the capital's airport.
All beaches of Costa da Caparica are equipped with convenient entrances. They fully meet the various needs of tourists, so you do not have to think about where to park the car, rinse after bathing or buy water. The ranking of the best beaches is headed by:
The central beach of Costa da Kaparika – the most visited;
Sereia – an amazing corner surrounded by sand dunes;
Morena – is popular among young people;
Nova Praia is a great place for families;
Praia da Saúde – has a wide coastline, nearby is a campsite;
Praia da Riviera is a wide sandy beach with quiet waters.
You can also find several nudist beaches, although only Praia do Meco has official status. In addition to the peculiar tourists and the corresponding signs, they are no different from other places for recreation. And also in Costa da Caparica is the most famous gay beach in Portugal, which is incredibly popular among people with non-traditional sexual orientation.
How and what to get?
The nearest airport is Lisbon, 15.5 km away. From it to the beaches of Costa de Caparica in Portugal, you can drive in 5 ways. Let's consider each of them.
Bus No. 153 – runs along the Praça de Espanha-Alcântara-Costa da Caparica route. The ticket costs € 3.25 one way. Travel time is about 50 minutes. Coming to the final stop, you will need about 5 minutes to go south along the boulevard and transfer to the mini-train leaving every 30 minutes. The fare will cost 2.5-4.5 €. The route consists of 21 stations, each of them is located near the beaches (ordinary, nudist and gay);
Bus No. 124 – departs from the main square, passes through Almada. The fare will cost 3.25 €;
Bus number 161 – from Praça do Areeiro to Alcântara, departs every half hour. Ticket price – 4.10 €. Travel time is 37 minutes.
By train, passing through the river. Tagus, you can get to the train station Pragal. Then you need to transfer to bus number 196, which will take you directly to Kapariki. By avoiding traffic jams on the bridge that connects Lisbon to the opposite bank of the river, the train is a great alternative on holidays and weekends. Ticket price is 2.8 €.

Inpatients back at Berwick Infirmary after temporary move during demolition work
Inpatients are again being welcomed onto the ward at Berwick Infirmary, as the £30million project to construct a new state-of-the-art hospital continues.

Berwick Infirmary. Picture by Jane Coltman
Work to demolish older parts of the infirmary started in the summer and required a temporary halt to patients staying overnight on the ward.
This was due to concerns about the 19th century buildings being demolished potentially containing aspergillus, a mould that can affect those with underlying health conditions and a weakened immune system.
As a result, patients have been receiving care at other Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust hospitals or La Cura House care home in Berwick, provided by Trust staff, in recent months.

Oncology and some ambulatory care services were also temporarily relocated, but will return in the next few weeks.
All minor injury unit (MIU), maternity and other outpatient department services have remained at Berwick throughout.
Marion Dickson, Northumbria Healthcare's executive director of nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals, as well as project lead for the new hospital, said: "We fully appreciate that this was not an ideal situation for patients and thank them for bearing with us during an unavoidable period on the road to providing Berwick with a modern and fit-for-purpose hospital for the future.
"I would also like to express my gratitude to all of the staff who have worked so hard during this disruption to continue to provide the high-quality care that our residents deserve and have come to expect from the Trust and Berwick Infirmary.
Archaeologists at work on the Berwick Infirmary site.
"The safety of patients is always our primary concern, so we reluctantly had to make this decision to close the inpatient ward for a time, but we are delighted that residents of Berwick and the surrounding areas once again have access to this facility at the heart of their community."
Meanwhile, the archaeological dig on the infirmary site continues to turn up fascinating discoveries, some dating back to 1100 AD.
The excavation, by Northern Archaeological Associates, has now moved onto a western section near the Brucegate entrance, and has resulted in a further two wells being discovered, one dating to the 15th or 16th century where a number of nearly complete shoes were found and the other from the 19th century which is thought to be linked to the former poor house immediately opposite.

Six people die from Covid in Northumberland with 662 new cases confirmed


Accroding to a report by Prosper Yeri Dekumo, There was wailing and commotion at the popular Julius Berger axis of the Sani Abacha Expressway, when a pathfinder jeep knocked down a little kid going to attend the Children Day Party organized by the headquarters of the Bayelsa State Redeemed Christian Church of God in Yenagoa.
The victim, Joshia, 4years from Ekeremor LGA, Bayelsa State was going with his 7years older brother when he was hit by the motorist from Ogbia while crossing the Expressway.
At my arrival to the accident scene from my routine inspection duty of the flood level around the Azikoro Estate area, the parents and other relatives were crying helplessly on getting the information, as the motorist rushed the child to an undisclosed hospital.
While the hostile mother was beating the older child, I rescued the boy and asked the direction the car took and he pointed towards FCM.
Immediately, I lead a search team to former Gloryland hospital, now Guruva Brooks, and then, to the Children Emergency of the Federal Medical Center Hospital, but to no avail.
When I got to the Government House Hospital, the CEO, Dr. Hobbot Preye confirmed the receipt of the patient but said, he has a damaged left leg and is referred to the Bayelsa State Diagnostics Center, Mgbi Road for femur X-ray. That, I should contact the parents to enable them extract the medical history to facilitate treatment on the boy.
Quickly, the contact was put to the father who happens to be a traditional bone doctor.
On his arrival, he insisted that he will handle the treatment in the traditional way under his care, but we discouraged him and he later agreed with us.
When the X-ray was done, it shows fractured left femur (a broken bone) and total shift of the knee joint.
The hospital management have since contacted an Indian trained Nigerian Orthopedic Surgeon who is well known to me, to head other White specialists from the United States of America to conduct an orthopedic surgery on baby Joshia who is currently on drip in preparation for the theater.


Next Fall. After some shocking news in July, The Probe team felt it was essential to get back into the thick of things at FDRHS. We check in with each of the candidates and their progress one last time, and an undeniably hopeful tone emits itself throughout. Except for maybe when we talk to Vice Principal Hannigan. Was Thomas prepared to take office? Will Staci remain active in the student government? Where is Cori? Who really is August Tooley-Anderson? No really, who? It was a long summer.

Q: Counting words in a list I am trying to count the frequency of a word in a list, using the len() but it's not working, I created a car list and then using random I am basically printing the cars 20 times, so the random is creating 20 random cars, but now I am trying to count how many times each car is being created, but its not working it just displays 5, 20 times?
carslist =["aston martin", "nissan", "nobel", "Porsche", "merc"]
randomGen = map(lambda x : random.randint(0,5), range(20))
cars= map(lambda i: carslist[i], randomGen)
print cars

#not working, trying to count how many times each car is being printed
lengths = map (lambda x: len(carsList), cars)
print lengths

A: We'll have a list: cars = ['nissan','nobel','nobel', 'porsche', 'merc', 'merc', 'porsche', 'aston martin']
One way to solve this problem is to iterate over the list. We'll initialize a dictionary, carCounts, that keeps track of how many times each car appears
carCounts = defaultdict(int)
for car in cars:
  carCounts[car] += 1
print carCounts

A: Use a Counter
carslist = ["aston martin", "nissan", "nobel", "Porsche", "merc"]
randomGen = map(lambda x: random.randint(0, 4), range(20))
cars = map(lambda i: carslist[i], randomGen)

from collections import Counter
lengths = Counter(cars)
print lengths
# Counter({'merc': 6, 'nissan': 4, 'nobel': 4, 'Porsche': 3, 'aston martin': 3})

Q: Wavelength vs Intensity graph for X-rays Why is the nature of graph like that? I mean intensity if proportional to energy which is equivalent to $hc /\lambda $ . So, by this we should get a hyperbola. But why do we see that the graph reaches a maximum value and then again decreases?
The graph is something like this -

What about this?

A: When we produce X rays in a CRT, we find 2 sources for the shape of the graph : 1. Characteristic X-rays, and 2. Brehmsstrahlung X-rays (braking radiation, the continuum part of the spectrum)

*

*Characteristic X-rays

These occur in situations where an  electron undergoes a direct "head on" interaction with a valence shell electron of an atom in the anode, ionizes the atom, and that electron is given enough momentum to send it off as a free particle.  Nearby  electrons fill the vacancy, emitting energy as photons and this energy appears as radiative energy.
The discrete nature of the energy levels results in "spikes" in the specturm at  certain frequencies, as the energy gaps between shells are quantized (i.e have fixed set of values), the energy of resulting X-rays, too have fixed energy. They're called "characteristic x-rays".

*Brehmsstrahlung X-rays (braking radiation, the continuum part of the spectrum)

Bremsstrahlung produced by a high-energy electron deflected in the electric field of an atomic nucleus.
Interactions between incoming electrons and anode atoms can obviously occur in many ways. If an interaction does not produce a ionisation , due to lack of momentum, the incoming electrons can produce many different interactions resulting in minor to major energy changes, that is the  continuous spectrum.

Bremsstrahlung (German pronunciation: [ˈbʁɛmsˌʃtʁaːlʊŋ], from bremsen "to brake" and Strahlung"radiation"; i.e., "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation") is electromagnetic radiationproduced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus. The moving particle loses kinetic energy, which is converted into a photon, thus satisfying the law of conservation of energy. The term is also used to refer to the process of producing the radiation. Bremsstrahlung has a continuous spectrum, which becomes more intense and whose peak intensity shifts toward higher frequencies as the change of the energy of the decelerated particles increases.
Broadly speaking, Bremsstrahlung or braking radiation is any radiation produced due to the deceleration (negative acceleration) of a charged particle, which includes synchrotron radiation,cyclotron radiation, and the emission of electrons and positrons during beta decay. However, the term is frequently used in the more narrow sense of radiation from electrons (from whatever source) slowing in matter.
Bremsstrahlung emitted from plasma is sometimes referred to as free/free radiation. This refers to the fact that the radiation in this case is created by charged particles that are free; i.e., not part of an ion, atom or molecule, both before and after the deflection (acceleration) that caused the emission.

Spectrum of the X-rays emitted by an X-ray tube with a rhodium target, operated at 60 kV. The continuous curve is due to bremsstrahlung, and the spikes are characteristic K lines for rhodium.
