The introduction of ALP-45DP dual-mode locomotives allows for direct service to New York Penn Station. Trains could not go beyond Newark Penn Station to New York Penn Station because the locomotives are diesel-powered, and diesel locomotives cannot operate in the North River Tunnels. This allowed CNJ to end the ferry service between Jersey City and Manhattan, which was losing money. and beyond, had connections by chartered bus or ferry into Manhattan (the ferries serving the financial district).Īt the end of April 1967, the Aldene Connection opened, connecting the CNJ main line to the Lehigh Valley Railroad (now Conrail’s Lehigh Line), and trains were re-routed to Newark Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor via Hunter Connection. This station, which was also served by Reading Company trains to Philadelphia and B & O service to Washington, D.C. Until 1967 CNJ service terminated at the company’s Communipaw Terminal in what is today Liberty State Park. Historically, CNJ trains ran on this line, as part of its Lehigh-Susquehanna Division, from Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton in eastern Pennsylvania, through Elizabeth and Bayonne to Jersey City. Most of the line follows the main line of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey. Its symbol is the Statue of Liberty, a homage to the Central Railroad of New Jersey whose logo was also the Statue of Liberty. The Raritan Valley Line is colored orange on New Jersey Transit’s system map. Beginning in 2014, some Raritan Valley Line trains began serving New York Penn Station via Secaucus Junction, which enabled riders on the Main Line, Bergen County Line, and Pascack Valley Line to access the line. In order to continue to Pennsylvania Station in New York City, RVL passengers were required to transfer to a Northeast Corridor Line or North Jersey Coast Line train at Newark Penn. Until March 2014, the RVL’s eastern terminus was Pennsylvania Station in Newark, with morning rush hour service to Hoboken Terminal. Some weekday trains continue further west and terminate at the High Bridge station, located in High Bridge. The station’s most frequent western terminus is Raritan station in Raritan. ![]() The Raritan Valley Line is a commuter rail service operated by New Jersey Transit (NJT) which serves passengers in municipalities in Union, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties in New Jersey.

![]() ![]() Oh shit, I tried to run a diff but nothing happened?! # now your changes are on the correct branchĪ lot of people have suggested using cherry-pick for this situation too, so take your pick on whatever one makes the most sense to you! git checkout name-of-the-correct-branch Thank you all! Oh shit, I accidentally committed to the wrong branch! # undo the last commit, but leave the changes available Also, many many many people suggested an awesome way to make this shorter that I didn't know myself. Note: this doesn't work if you've already pushed the commit to a public/shared branch, and if you tried other things first, you might need to git reset instead of HEAD~. # your commit lives in this branch now :) # remove the last commit from the master branch Oh shit, I accidentally committed something to master that should have been on a brand new branch! # create a new branch from the current state of master Stupid commit message formatting requirements. ![]() # follow prompts to change the commit message Oh shit, I need to change the message on my last commit! git commit -amend Warning: You should never amend commits that have been pushed up to a public/shared branch! Only amend commits that only exist in your local copy or you're gonna have a bad time. You could also make the change as a new commit and then do rebase -i in order to squash them both together, but this is about a million times faster. and FML, I didn't put a space after an equals sign. This usually happens to me if I commit, then run tests/linters. # now your last commit contains that change! Mega hat tip to the many many many many many people who suggested adding it! Oh shit, I committed and immediately realized I need to make one small change! # make your change You can use this to get back stuff you accidentally deleted, or just to remove some stuff you tried that broke the repo, or to recover after a bad merge, or just to go back to a time when things actually worked. # each one has an index find the one before you broke everything # you will see a list of every thing you've Oh shit, I did something terribly wrong, please tell me git has a magic time machine!?! git reflog So here are some bad situations I've gotten myself into, and how I eventually got myself out of them in plain english. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem. ![]() In this tutorial, we learned why we might need to create a new git branch from a tag for debugging and how this can be achieved with the "git checkout" command.Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is fucking impossible. Now we have a new branch "debug-tag-2-0" ready for debugging on local. $ git tag -lĪfter confirming that tag v2.0 fetch properly, we can now run the "git checkout" command to create the new branch from that tag. Now confirm that you have fetched the required tag v2.0 from which you want to create the branch. ![]() Make sure you fetch all the tags from your remote repository with the "git fetch" command $ git fetch -all -tags 2. Now let's go through each step one by one to create a new branch from the correct tag. Now creating a debug branch from the tag v2.0 will be the best way to make sure you have the exact code which is deployed on production. Let’s say you have deployed tag v2.0 on production and now you have some issues after the deployment. But sometimes you might want to debug the deployed code and the best way is to create a new GIT branch from that tag. GIT tags are created to mark a specific point in git history and then deployed. A new GIT branch can be created from a tag through the “git checkout” command with the “-b” option followed by a new branch name and tag name. ![]() ![]() And, we frequently run our popular “Flash Sale” via Instagram, so if you follow us there (and follow our hashtag #honeycrumbcakestudio), you’ll be the first to know when our latest specials are up for grabs!

I do a **happy dance** when I see you cut a big slice and grin while sharing your first bite as a married pair.

My silly sense of humor, adventurous and determined spirit, keen eye for detail, and excellent manual dexterity all combine synergistically when I’m creating cakes for my clients. I’ve been a Seattle-based pastry chef for 13 years and counting. You can find Crumb and Sponge products a number of places: local pickup here in SE Mequon (we also deliver!), Ozaukee REKO Ring, West Bend REKO Ring, DreamPort Market Store in Port Washington, as well as some local area farmer's markets in the summer and winter.I’m Carla Callahan - slayer of cake! I love everything about my job, from creating sugar flowers to match the ones in your centerpieces, to making your guests GASP in amazement at how silky the buttercream is, to helping you with vendor recommendations for the rest of your wedding planning process ( I’ve got all the good ones on speed dial). Hopefully by now you are wondering where to find us. That's because I couldn't do this without the unwavering support of my husband and children - they are my strongest supporters and also my first taste testers! I'm the baker behind it all, but you'll notice the website is written as "we". We do this by using quality ingredients, such as unbromated / organic flours, organic milk, organic eggs, European style butter, and not using any preservatives or additives. Our mission is easy to understand: feeding yourself and your loved ones food that you can feel good about, and that leave you feeling good. Being a bread baker for over 20 years, and already well in love with making sourdough for several years at that point, finding the the focus of my micro-bakery was probably the easiest thing about the pandemic! Just like that, the concept for Crumb and Sponge was baked: "scratch baking" with high quality ingredients, available for others to share with their own loved ones. With encouragement from family and friends, I realized that there were a lot of other people interested in artisan baked goods, made with high quality ingredients and without any preservatives or additives. Back in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, as our home transitioned from just our home to a dual office for my husband and I, a school and let's face it, gymnasium for my two young children, my stress baking went beyond what my loved ones could consume. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A number of popular cloud storage solutions are supported.

(He makes some toast, then soaks it in water to obtain 'toast water', which is added to the sausage meat. Though, I have the say the one thing about those bangers that had all my friends who had watched the episode chortling in disbelief was the toast water. He finds the finest pork from an old fashioned kind of pig whose meat tastes like apples. In the first episode, he puts together 'bangers and mash' (a classic British dish of sausages with onion gravy and mashed potatoes). It's also about obtaining the finest ingredients possible - something that home cooks may aspire to, but not always be able to achieve. It may all seem a bit ridiculous, but it does make sense: we don't just eat with our mouths, we eat with our eyes and our noses too.īlack Forest gateau, Heston Blumenthal-style, on a chocolate-wood-grained base, with spray atomizer of kirsch The final touch, he said, was to spray the air just before eating the gateau with some kirsch. In the second episode which aired last night, he went about de-constructing what makes a Black Forest gateau, and then re-constructing it step by step: chocolate layers in two different textures, kirsch-flavored cream, sour cherries. His assertions about all the recipes being recipes that he 'wants you to attempt at home' aside (we roll on the floor, or in my case the sofa since I'm suffering from a streaming cold at the moment, whenever he says this), the show is really entertaining, and I think does give some insight into how the molecular-gastronomy approach to fine cooking works. ![]() He has a quiet sense of joy in what he does that's really fun to watch. He doesn't really look like a scientist, but rather like a nerdy kid with square glasses who likes to experiment with his chemistry kit, and who never quite grew up. Well, if using liquid nitrogen for instant-freezing ice cream, using elaborate scientific equipment at a university laboratory to analyze the makeup of the flavors of golden syrup, and making aerated chocolate using a whipped cream bottle (the kind you insert CO2 capsules into), a Space Saver Bag and a Dyson vacuum cleaner is old-fashioned cooking, I guess he lives about 200 years in the future. He says it's just "good old-fashioned cooking". At the start of each episode he declares that he disagrees with people who call his style of cooking "molecular gastronomy". The purported aim of the show is to recreate some classic British dishes. Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection is an idiosyncratic 30 minute show that showcases his quirky personality and cooking style perfectly. Just by coincidence, the day that we visited The Fat Duck, its chef/owner Heston Blumenthal's new series on BBC Two premiered. ![]() Heston Blumenthal makes aerated chocolate with a vacuum cleaner, among other things ![]() ![]() ![]() "CNN had replaced their fancy reporters with young people, and they were on roofs, and there was green, and there was a theme song and all this shit. "I was at a sports bar, and all the TVs were turned to the war instead of sports," Lizz Winstead says. And in a bar in Manhattan, a comedian on a blind date had an insight that would eventually help connect those wildly disparate developments. Further up the dial, Ha! and the Comedy Channel merged, reemerging as Comedy Central in April 1991.

Through years of incisive election coverage, Jon Stewart’s emotional monologue in the wake of 9/11, his infamous confrontation on Crossfire, passionate debates with President Obama and Hillary Clinton, feuds with Bill O’Reilly and Fox, the Indecisions, Mess O’Potamia, and provocative takes on Wall Street and racism, The Daily Show has been a cultural touchstone. This oral history takes the reader behind the curtain for all the show’s highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central’s underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart’s long reign to Trevor Noah’s succession, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politics-a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world. Now the show’s behind-the-scenes gags, controversies, and camaraderie will be chronicled by the players themselves, from legendary host Jon Stewart to the star cast members and writers-including Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Lewis Black, Jessica Williams, John Hodgman, and Larry Wilmore-plus some of The Daily Show‘s most prominent guests and adversaries: John and Cindy McCain, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and many more. It launched the careers of some of today’s most significant comedians, highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful, and garnered 23 Emmys.

While the default sword and harder-hitting axe are reliably great, the frustratingly slow hammer and the gloves (which deal most of their damage only on the final hit of their attack combo) are ill-suited against Cult of the Lamb’s fairly mobile enemies. The one major drawback is that you are given a random weapon and curse at the start of each crusade, but unfortunately you have no control over which ones you’ll see and the possibilities are far from equal. The different types of weapons, curses, and tarot card-based buffs you can find along the way can also help shake up each new outing as you work your way toward the end of the campaign. The dodge in particular is delightfully snappy, giving you a responsive way to evade the well-telegraphed attacks of enemies as you cut through rooms full of cultists and monsters alike. It’s not overly complex, with little more than a single attack button, a special “curse” power, and a dodge-roll at your disposal, but each of those elements are honed to an effective edge. ![]() That’s not to say the combat isn’t fun in its own right, though. That’s good company to be in regardless, and I enjoyed that my decisions out on the hunt were often influenced by the needs of my cultists diligently working back home rather than it always being the other way around. It’s safe to say that for all the DNA Cult of the Lamb shares with a game like Dead Cells, it’s just as closely related to a management game like Oxygen Not Included. Those short outings aren’t necessarily a bad thing, but they did mean I spent most of the 13 hours it took me to reach the credits building out my base and completing little quests for NPCs rather than swinging a weapon. You even pick between one of four disconnected areas to fight through at the start of every run, with a boss waiting to be beaten at the end of each one in order to complete the story, which means Cult of the Lamb lacks that familiar roguelike tension of seeing how deep into the gauntlet you can manage to make it every time. ![]() Each crusade is randomized and repeatable in the same way, but they are also far shorter – most take around just 10 minutes total. While Cult of the Lamb is a roguelite dungeon crawler that randomizes level layouts and the items you come across each run as you become progressively more powerful between them, comparing it directly to similar games like Hades or Rogue Legacy would be a bit misleading. ![]() |
