This only works on the new expandable volumes. YMMV, as always.
1. Examine
file -s /dev/xvd*
lsblk
df -h
2. Grow partition
Expand the modified partition using growpart (and note the unusual syntax of separating the device name from the partition number):
growpart /dev/xvda 1
lsblk
3. Expand filesystem
resize2fs /dev/xvda1
df -h

We need dog leash laws and owner accountability.
Dog bites are a problem. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, and every day, nearly 1,000 individuals show up in hospital emergency rooms because of dog attacks. The annual cost of medical treatments for dog bites (including 27,000 reconstructive surgeries) is over $250,000,000, and insurance companies fork out $530 million dollars a year in dog bite claims. Then there are the 26 Americans who were killed by dogs last year.
Here’s what the researchers found:
• 25 percent of the participants had been bitten by a dog.
• Only one in three victims received medical attention.
• Men were nearly twice as likely to have been bitten as women.
• People who owned multiple dogs were three times more likely to be bitten than non-dog owners.
• Children are at higher risk: 44 percent of the bites occurred when the victim was younger than 16.
• In 55 percent of cases, the person had never before seen the dog that bit them.
• But the most interesting finding was related to personality: People with higher scores on the Big Five trait of emotional stability were 22% less likely to have been bitten by a dog than were individuals who were less emotionally stable.

Backup Compressed:
svnadmin dump /volumes/data/svn/yourRepo | gzip -9 > /volumes/data/backup/yourRepo.dmp.gz
Backup Uncompressed:
svnadmin dump /volumes/data/svn/yourRepo > /volumes/data/backup/yourRepo.dmp
Restore the Repo
Create a new SVN repository:
svnadmin create /volumes/data/svn/newRepo
Restore the dump file to the new repository:
svnadmin load /volumes/data/svn/newRepo < /volumes/data/backup/yourRepo.dmp
Just for good measure, here is how to checkout from a local repo:
svn co file:///volumes/data/svn/newRepo/the/path/to/what/you/want

Rename the old branch locally:
git branch -m oldBranch newBranch
Delete the old branch remotely:
git push origin :oldBranch
Push up the new branch, and make the local branch track with the new remote branch:
git push --set-upstream origin newBranch

To remove a specific package without its dependencies use rpm:
1 2 | rpm -qa | grep pecl rpm -e --nodeps php55-pecl-jsonc php55-pecl-jsonc-devel |
rpm -qa | grep pecl rpm -e --nodeps php55-pecl-jsonc php55-pecl-jsonc-devel
As always, YMMV!

I was running out of memory constantly on Yosemite 10.10.5 and found the following article:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26929324?start=555&tstart=0
Edited and reposted without permission below…
These are the steps I followed to reset the SMC for my iMac 5K:
- Choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
- After your Mac shuts down, unplug the power cord.
- Wait 15 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back in.
- Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button again to turn on your Mac.
