I must be old, never heard of them.....Go Bucks!
I got 2 seats on 10 yd line, 13 rows up, 35/ticket. Dress warm, high of 48, and not sure too many people know this, but it does tend to get a little windy there (sarcasm implied). Go Bucks!
The call by Keith Jackson on the Hail Mary is priceless - "There are no flags on the field, only despair...."
Clothes, but no cigar?
Having lived in that era, I have a playlist I have entitled, "The Decadent 80's" with 640 songs...shall I list them all?? I think not...
In addition to penalties and turnovers, it looks like the offense is trying to hard for home run all the time, instead of just taking what defense gives them.
Actually, a lot of the IU football season ticket holders, are in that category in order to qualify to purchase basketball season tickets, IU's "real sport." They don't really care that much about their football team. How do I know - I bought my game tickets from such a source. Go Bucks!!
732...glass is half full.
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain??
I actually think the more pressing issue is the lack of a deep threat, a la Devin Smith. Without one, the safeties can creep up and shut down the running game. Secondly, the blocking abilities of Smith and Spencer were instrumental in the late season run. Our receivers need to step up their games.
What are the statistical chances that a stadium full of SEC fans would contain at least one whole set of teeth?
201....Go Bucks!
850...Go bucks!
My mother passed away on March 28, 2015. On June 4 - mom and dad would have been married 65 years. The separation proving too much for him, my father passed away on August 12. In addition to all the sage advice about being a man, I learned my love of all things Buckeye from my father - a boy scout usher during the Hopalong Cassidy days. To this day, being able to watch tOSU beat Miami in Sun Devil Stadium with my father is easily one of my top five life experiences. Thanks for putting it all in perspective for everyone, Ramzy - make that call.
I may pick up the book at the local library, if they carry it, would hate to add any money to a Meatchicken man....Go Bucks!
It has to be J.T. - I bought a Barrett jersey for my 13 year old to wear this year!! Go Bucks!!
Well, so much for any productive work from here the rest of the day....

It's 8:40 on a Thursday night near Candler Road and I-20, and Gucci Mane is on his cell phone: "Ain't shit, just out here working, trying to get it hot," he says into the receiver. "You know I just got out so I'm trying to get it back like it was."
There are still 12 days left in January, and he's already shot eight videos this month. Wait, make that nine.
"Figz, we done?!" Gucci's manager Kevin "Coach K" Lee yells from the driver's seat of his white Hummer. He's talking to the director, 23-year-old Adrian "Figz!" Guardiola. Figz nods and walks over to explain what just happened.
Basically, they shot a music video in 40 minutes flat. It's a record for Figz, who's all smiles as he talks to Coach K, who never had a reason, or hardly time, to exit his Hummer — even as Figz shot a scene in the back seat while Gucci mouthed the words to his song "North Pole" bumping in the background. The lyrics make metaphorical wordplay out of dope and its likeness to all things wintry. Gucci plays Santa. Mrs. Claus is "on a pole with her panties off." Oh, and they live in an igloo full of snow. It's a funny number, if you dig that sort of thing.
Gucci asks Figz to see some of the footage and everybody, including Coach K, a few of Gucci's associates, and a rapper named Stickman who holds the honor of being the star of Figz's first video shoot some 40 million YouTube views ago, gathers around to watch the moving pictures glowing from the back of Figz's Canon. It feels like a campfire.
Suddenly a thought occurs to Gucci: "Y'all wanna shoot another video?"
"When?" Figz responds.
Like the archetypal hustler in mainstream rap known for slangin' dope boy narratives and mixtape manifestos, the latest wave of hip-hop video directors has applied the same DIY grind to music video production. Their toolkits consist of HD digital cameras (as in the Canon 5D), Final Cut Pro software, and MacBooks for editing on the go. Mostly self-taught photographers who became videographers, often with little-to-no traditional film schooling, these directors have gained industry prominence alongside the gaggle of unsigned blog rappers, independent hustler/MCs, label signees, and occasional vets whose music their videos market. Here in Atlanta, the best have succeeded in creating cinematic productions with hood integrity, often on the kind of budgets their predecessors would've laughed at. But independence has also made it harder for them to command their true value in a penny-pinching industry.
A scrappy, self-inventive bunch, some of the locally based standouts sport monikers as colorful as their rap counterparts: Phil the God, a self-styled conceptual artist and East Coast traditionalist; Motion Family, a cream-of-the-crop trio of gritty, documentary-style auteurs; Decatur Dan, whose narrative treatments evoke every bit of Southern rap's street aesthetic; and others on the come-up, such as Figz, who's penchant for complicated post-production editing techniques results in seizure-inducing works — a fitting complement to the music.
In a post-MTV world of ADHD sensory overload, where rap aficionados are conditioned to consume and regurgitate daily downloads at the speed of Wi-Fi, the videos they make are more than mere promotional tools; they're the new radio single. And directors aren't just visual artists, they're the talent developers now that major labels have mostly outsourced the A&R role.
"Because of the Internet, videos get so much attention that they can actually compete with the music," says Figz, a 23-year-old editor/director who made his foray into music videos by filming open mic rap nights at Marietta's Club Mariachi. Shortly after the premiere of his viral vid for Travis Porter's 2010 hit "Make It Rain," replete with nude stripper silhouettes, the song debuted on Billboard, cementing the group's deal with Jive Records. The G-rated video the label released three months later remains about 4 million YouTube views shy of the 7 million Figz's version garnered.
An unofficial gauge of a video's enduring infectiousness, online views are to videos as SoundScan numbers are to weekly sales. The Motion Family-directed video for Waka Flocka Flame's 2010 hit "No Hands," featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash, has amassed more than 45 million YouTube hits. Fueled by social media, such visuals spread in real time across a 24/7 digital landscape of content aggregating hip-hop blogs like the voyeuristic beast WorldStarHipHop.
Like any genre, rap has always been defined by its iconography. What would Bad Boy's late '90s reign be without the early work of director Hype Williams, who embossed hip-hop with a glossy sheen, courtesy Puff Daddy's predilection for shiny suits.
Williams remains a legend for raising the bar in rap video production, but also for directing some of the most expensive music videos in history, including 1999's $2.4 million Terminator-inspired joint "What's It Gonna Be" by Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson. While Williams still churns out nearly a dozen high-profile videos per year (Spin's Christopher Weingarten calls his latest, Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe," a "Technicolor MoMA explosion"), his pricey flicks of a decade ago have become the exception rather than the rule.

|Re: ActiveMQ and unidirectional flow
|Thu, 20 Apr 2006 17:32:02 GMT
Unfortunately ActiveMQ depends on bidirectional communication with a broker; as you need to make requests (such as to connect and to create subscriptions) to be able to receive data. So unless there's a way to communicate with a broker, its a bit hard to implement JMS features. We could provide a limited subset of JMS where you just listen on some (say) socket which is preconfigured to receive a certain topic subscription; so that the client just reads but we would not be able to implement any kind of reliability/persistence/acknowledgement though.

Assassin's Creed III multiplayer screenshots bring the impending pain
Screenshots for the multiplayer portion of Assassin's Creed III have surfaced. At first glance, I thought the lady had a hook for a hand instead of just packing one around. On further examination, it looks like a more rustic version of the Hookblade, but if I were to add a real-world application to it – I'd say it's exactly like the hook I use when dealing with hay bales. No matter- whatever it is, it looks painful. Game's out in October.

Life My Cat Did Not Write This
I have a cat. A cranky old cat, who sleeps on my desk because it's warm under the lamp, and who has been known to walk across my key board. Thus, when someone sent me a link to this link, I viewed it with a flicker of interest. PawSense: Cat Proof Your Computer.
It's a software utility that recognizes "cat-like typingâ and does two things. First, it plays a WAV file that (supposedly) annoys cats the implication being that they'd then go away. Second, it freezes keyboard input and throws up this screen.
So I tested it. My cat lay on my desk next to me, snoring and occasionally batting irritably at my arm when my movement disturbed her slumbers. I turned up my speakers and played the first of the two special cat-annoying WAV files, watching her carefully.
No response. From her, that is. I myself found the discordant-harmonica noise very annoying.
Then I played the second cat-annoying sound, the hissing noise.
Nothing. She didn't so much as crack an eye. I strongly doubt she'd respond to it even if she were strolling across my keyboard. PawSense claims you can also record your own noises, but I can't believe that would do any good. Rammstein, the 1812 Overture, dogs barking, whatever, no mere WAV file would deter my cat from her chosen path. So that was pretty much a bust.
And frankly, I'm not sure my typing is always so reliably human-like. Some days it's hard enough staying confident about yourself as a writer without having some software program constantly questioning whether you have opposable thumbs.

Objective: To review the literature on the cardiac effects of diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Data Sources: A MEDLINE search of English-language articles published between 1980 and January 1996 was done using the terms diabetes mellitus, hypertension or blood pressure, and heart. References cited in identified articles were also reviewed.
Study Selection: Selected studies were divided into those addressing coronary artery disease or myocardial ischemia and those addressing nonischemic cardiomyopathy and its sequelae. Preference was given to articles about the cardiac complications of both diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Results: Patients with diabetes and hypertension have a higher incidence of coronary artery disease than do patients with diabetes or hypertension alone. The former patients also show impaired systolic and diastolic function and have more severe left ventricular hypertrophy as documented by echocardiography and at autopsy. The structural myocardial damage seen in these patients has been attributed primarily to hypertension; the myocellular dysfunction has been attributed primarily to diabetes. In diabetic hypertensive patients with cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease as well as structural and functional cardiac abnormalities are more pronounced than would be expected from either diabetes or hypertension alone.
Conclusions: Considerable evidence from both experimental animal models and humans points to hypertension as a critically important factor in the pathogenesis of severe heart disease in persons with diabetes. The pathogenetic sequelae of diabetes and hypertension are devastating to the heart and often lead to premature congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and acute myocardial infarction. Strict control of arterial pressure and glycemia may prevent or even ameliorate heart disease in patients with hypertension and diabetes.

We plan to launch an employee incentive program to eliminate errors in the warehouse. To ensure that the right product is shipped, how can we motivate our employees to double-check their work?
Principal, Keogh Consulting
Double-checking their work may be helpful, but may not be the best or only solution. There are usually several ways to improve the quality of order processing (and other operations), each carrying its own benefits and costs. But you should first discover the real cause(s) of errors and their relative frequency, and focus on those that occur most often and/or have the most significant impact. With that priority list, you can then identify solutions for each problem that give the biggest bang for the buck.
How about setting up a task force of warehouse employees to document mistakes and determine why they happen, their frequency, and their potential impacts or costs? Then conduct a contest to identify the best ways to reduce those mistakes. You'll likely be surprised how resourceful the warehouse crew can be when challenged to think of ways to improve without working harder. Be sure to have them focus on the causes and effects, not on the individuals making the mistakes!
The objective is to have the workers themselves find the causes of the mistakes and then invent the remedies — without adding extra layers of "checkers" or "gatekeepers." The causes and remedies may be eye-openers. Often, they are easy fixes — minor process changes, reformatting pick lists or checklists, redistributing tasks, cross-training, putting up clear signage, and so forth. Investigating the causes and effects of errors has the added benefit of educating the staff about the business purpose of their work. It lets them see and understand the impact of their errors on customer service.
VP, Tom Zosel Associates
Errors can be classified into two categories — deliberate and unintended. Working with the assumption that your workers are all well-intentioned and detail-oriented, we can break down the unintended group into two parts, "systemic" and "individual."
Systemic errors flow from layout, packaging and product identification, and other things. They can be attributed to most of the workers who perform the same kind of task. Individual errors flow from a lack of training or understanding of the right way to do the work, carelessness, too much speed, poor planning, or intentional failures, and are usually not shared by the work group as a whole.
Some labor and quality truisms:
- It is hard for people to check their own work. Have a separate person fill that role or rotate the task among your best workers.
- Using statistically valid sampling will manage error rates as or more effectively than 100% audits of completed work (receiving, putaway, replenishment, and packing, as well as picking). Sample a certain percentage of everyone's work every week and provide immediate feedback where errors are found. Increase the level of audits of those with low quality until things change for the better. Keep good records of audit results and use them as part of performance reviews.
- To optimize labor performance (and it is the largest operational cost after inventory and transportation) employees should be evaluated along two dimensions, productivity and quality, not just quality. Once those are in place, an incentive should be used to reward exceptional performance (perfect quality and production that is well above the acceptable minimum). Poor performance in either respect must also have consequences or it is meaningless.
A well-designed productivity improvement program, including a fair and equitable way to predict the time content of individual work and compare it to actual accomplishment, is by far the most effective way to improve employee morale and turnover.

This is a pretty good loft bed. My son got super excited when he saw this for the first time, he's loves actually going to bed early now, that alone makes it totally worth it. Con: the screw cover caps provided are undersized and unusable. there is no fix for it unless the proper size is provided. *By submitting a review, each employee received a sweepstakes entry*Read More
What a fun and steady bed
Our son sleep on his own until he can craw out of the crib. This is a fantastic bed with tons of fun factors. It's so appealing to my son he agreed to sleep on his own again finally at his 4th birthday. Besides the fun factors that you can easily see, the solid wood construction and well engineered joints made this is a very steady bed. My son has been sleeping in this bed for 3 years now. It's still as solid as day one without any creaking sound. The clear coat is durable. Very good buy and will recommend to anyone.Read More
I purchased this item for our 4 year old grand son. He absolute loved it. He likes to pretend and has an excellent imagination. The tent was an extra an he imagined he was camping, an astronaut, in a far away land among some of his latest. It was harder to put together than we thought but once started it went smoothly. The under bed is nice for exploring. He book sack makes it easy to story favorite bedtime story books. colors are bright and materials are strong. We have had the bed for a year and have had no complaints from our little one. Nice product. Would be again if I need for other grand sons.Read More
Love it!

Excellent Loft Bed
We assembled the bed over the weekend. The assembly was not too hard. My son loves it !! It has nice book pockets. It is very colorful and bright. I was not happy about the packaging material that was used to send this bed. Luckily most of the product came undamaged. I am very happy with this purchase.Read More

Great bed for the money.
I purchased this bed for my 4 year old son- we liked that it was lower than other loft beds, yet still offered room underneath for play, and eventually storage. We assembled it about 2 months ago and it has held up well. Our son is using it with only the included bed slat roll underneath a mattress because he is only 40 pounds, however I think in a couple of years we will probably put a sheet of plywood beneath. I wanted to address the dimensions given in the item description because they are WRONG, as they are on every other website that sells this bed. This is a twin-sized bed that fits a standard twin-sized mattress (the description states that it is much wider). The manufacturer suggests using a mattress no thicker than 8 inches, but we opted for a 6 inch thick bunk mattress so we knew our little guy wouldn't roll out. Assembly was fairly simple except for the little caps provided to cover the screws- they are too wide for the holes, and we broke one trying to pound it in with a rubber mallet. Tents are easy to attach to bed. Lower tent comes with adhesive/velcro strip and screws- we tried using only the adhesive at first but the tent kept falling down and we had to screw in. The screws do go in a hidden part of the bed however, so if my son wants the tent down eventually the holes will be hidden. After LOTS of research, I can say that this bed is half the price or even less than other comparable models.Read More
Should be VIP Loft my son loves it
My son would not sleep in his bed for two years. He is six and always crawling into bed with Mommy. We tried different kids beds from disney, Thomas the train but this oh my God. He has sleeped in this baby since day one. Go for it your son or daughter would love it.Read More
bought 2 love them both
we bought 2 of these beds one in white one in brown for my kids (5 and 6) love them. The things I wanted from the description but could not find out are the dimensions under the bed. so from the floor to the bottom of the bed is 33inches, the kids can not stand under the bed but they can sit and play comfortabley. I am only five foot tall so for me to change the sheets or give the kids a kiss goodnight I need to stand on the ladder or get into the bed, but this is why I decided to get the lower style loft rather than a traditional loft bed. the bedrooms in our house are small so the extra storage space is fantastic. The beds are very easy to put together after you figure out the directions, the pieces are not labeled and are all very similar so make sure you know which is which before you start. You don't really need 2 people, but 4 hands is really helpful. There were a few scratches from shipping and I was going to call overstock about them but once the beds were together I decided you really can't see them. The drapes for the bottom need to be screwed in, the the tape/Velcro comes with it only stays up for a day or two.Read More

Questions & Answers
At this time this bed does not come in additional finishes.
Why did you choose this product?
for our Son
Color, height and price.
My son loved the concept and had good reviews
Can you leave the top cover off and only use the book pockets?
Hello smithlc32, the book pockets are connected to the rod that holds the dome on the top, so you would not be able to use one without the other. Thanks for shopping with us!
What type of mattress do you put on this loft bed?
Hello Faye, this loft bed is designed to accommodate a standard twin size mattress no thicker than 8 inches. Thank you for shopping with us! A.C.
what is the weight limit for the bed?
Hello AKB246, unfortunately, we do not weight test our items. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
How is the top cover fixed on the bed? I don't have my instructions and I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing a part for that.
Hello aryeebebe, you should have one front curtain two end curtain's two double pockets one roof and three plastic rods in order to get this assemble. You would first attach front and end curtains, then attach top tent and front pockets. You insert plastic rods into sleeve on rook in three places, each end and center. Bend the plastic rods to create the dome configuration and insert the plastic rods into the predrilled holes on the top edge of front and back guardrails. I hope this information helped you. Thanks for shopping with us!
There was a q&a regarding mattresses and customer care responded that they did not recommend mattresses higher than 8" for this product. What is the height from the bottom of the bed (not the floor) to the top of the railing? Just want to make sure that my kid is not going to fall out as he tends to move around a lot in his sleep.
Hello smyleelisa, thank you for your inquiry! The mattress should not be any higher than 8 inches. Also it should be 5 inches below the top of the guard rail. So the height of the bottom of the bed to the top of the guard rail is approximately 13 inches. I hope this helps. Happy shopping!
How do I order replacement parts? My bed came but the little red pockets seen in the picture were not inside.
Thank you for contacting us tmerrill76. You will be contacted by Customer Care.
To expand on chelle30's question; would I be able to put a twin frame and mattress in the play area or would it be to crammed?
Thank you for contacting us tonyn66. Yes you can, the height of the low loft is approximately 36" from the floor to the slats under the top mattress. The width is the same so yes, this would work. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
Would it be safe to have one toddler sleep on top, and have another sleeping in the tent area? For example could he have his mattress underneath to lay on while another toddler sleeps on the bed area. Both boys are between 35-40lbs.
Thank you for shopping with us chelle30. It is going to be high and we are talking about a 2 - 3 year old sleeping on top of the bed. The sleeping would be safe but the fun of a high bed probably would mean risky behavior before that. The question is would you feel comfortable because the bed can handle the weight. Have a good day.
Thx for the response RE: ladder positioning - helpful! One last question - can the bed be a simple twin and then lofted later? It appears that way from the pictures - I think I see that it is a twin that that has extensions - but I am not sure. We would like a twin that van be lofted in 6mos or so when our kiddo is bigger. Thx in advance for the response!
Hello amn14. Thank you for your interest in the Junior Loft Honey Birch Twin Loft Bed. The pictures do look like you can, and it would be up to you, but we wouldn't really recommend it. I hope this helps you, and thanks for shopping with us.
Can the ladder be affixed to the right side of the bed, or only to the left as in the picture?
right or left side
Hello, shipshape1. Hope your day is going well. Thank you. We appreciate your helpful feedback with this question. Thanks for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us with any questions of your own.
Hello, amn14. Hope your day is going well. Yes, as attested by shipshape 1 above, you can affix the ladder to either side.Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Is the bottom tent completely enclosed? In other words, is it a tent on just three sides (the front and both ends) or on all four sides (the front, the back, and both ends)?
Hello, trusmom. Hope your day is going well. This item is only on 3 sides. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Does this come with a mattress? If no does a regular twin mattress fit? Is there room for a mattress and box spring or just a mattress?
Hello, careynappier84. Hope your day is going well. This item does not come with a mattress. You do not want anything thicker than an 8 inch mattress for the top - these beds come with bed slats. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
If the height of bed w/ the tent on top is 74" than what is the height of the bed itself?
Thank you for your inquiry. From the floor to the top of the bed arch (not the tent) is 42".
Can I get this bed with the pink tent/curtain option instead?
Thank you for your inquiry; we do have a version of this bed with a pink curtain. It is Item #: 13125667
What is total shipping weight for all 3 boxes?
The total shipping weight for all three boxes is 125 pounds.
Where is this bed manufactured?
This bed was manufactured in China.
What is the measurement from the floor up to the bottom rail? I want to know how much clearance is under the bed. Thanks
From the bottom of the side rail to the floor is 32 inches. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Looks like from the picture you can use this loft bed as a regular bed by taking half of the legs off. Are you able to lower the bed by taking half the legs off ?
No, we would not suggest it.

I'm new to Common Lisp and have been working on a simple pattern matcher as a first project. I'm having trouble using the star (*) operator to represent 0 or more of any element in a list. So the pattern (x * z) and the matcher (x y y y z) would return true, but the pattern (x * z) and the matcher (x y) would return false.
My first thoughts:
(loop for x in pattern-list
(eq x '*)
;if x is *, pause iterating through this list
(loop for y in matcher-list
;somehow iterate one more value in the pattern list
(eq x y) ;does the value just after the * in the pattern list equal the value in y?
;if they aren't the same symbol, just iterate matcher until they match, then resume incrementing though the pattern list
Sorry if my syntax and parenthesis are a little off.
This is a smaller piece to a larger pattern matcher that I was working on. Here's what I have so far (In this case, list1 is pattern-list and list2 is matcher-list):
The bulk of this code originated from this SO post:
Setting up a equal function in common lisp using only "eq"
(defun comp-q (list1 list2) ;defun
(if (and (not (null list1)) ;if list1 is not null AND
(not (null list2))) ;if list2 is not null
(let ((a (car list1)) (b (car list2))) ;a is the car (front) of list1 and b is the car of list 2
(cond ((and (listp a) (listp b)) ;cond, evaluate the first thing in the list - are a and b lists?
(and (comp-q a b) ;recursive call on a and b
(comp-q (cdr list1) (cdr list2)))) ;recursive call on the cdr (tail) of a and b
(t ;like an else for cond
(and (or (eq a b) (eq a '?)) ;are a and b equal OR is a a '?'
(comp-q (cdr list1) (cdr list2)))))) ;recursive call on the cdr of a and b
(= (length list1) (length list2)))) ;are the lists equal? only triggered if the null test fails (are they both not null)
Is using the
loop macro my best bet? Is it possible to "pause" or keep track of iterations over a list (I know this is array-esque)? Or should I try to continue working recursively by calling the
car and
cdr of each list that is being implemented in the comp-q

Sexual harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal, nonverbal, written, electronic (e.g. by e-mail, text, social media, etc.), or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment occurs when:
- submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a condition of an individual's employment or academic standing or is used as the basis for employment decisions or for academic evaluation, grades, or advancement (quid pro quo), or when
- such conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent to limit or deny a person's ability to participate in or benefit from the University's educational programs or affects employment, creating a hostile environment.
Discriminatory harassment is defined as conduct that targets an individual based upon age, color, religion, disability, race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or veteran's status and that adversely affects a term or condition of an individual's education, housing, or participation in a university activity; or has the purpose or effect of unreasonably creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for academic pursuits, housing, or participation in university activities.

Harassment is a pattern of behaviors which is sexual in nature and creates a workplace or academic climate that "unreasonably interferes" with performance. "Sexual in nature" refers not only to "amorous" behavior but also to hostile conduct of a sexual or non‐sexual nature. If you aren't sure if certain behavior creates a hostile work environment, ask yourself whether a "reasonable person" would be offended. The "reasonable person" is the standard used at Indiana University to determine hostile work environment.
Sexual harassment can be a one time occurrence (for example, sex for grades) or a continuing pattern of behavior (for example, sexually explicit jokes). The context, severity, and frequency of the behavior must be considered when determining sexual harassment. Listed below are some of the behaviors which may be considered sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Verbal Harassment
- Suggestive or insulting sounds
- Sexist jokes or humor
- Gender specific insults or comments
- Unwanted sexual invitations, propositions, or pressure

Memory Ordering in Modern Microprocessors, Part I
As noted earlier, the good news is Linux's memory-ordering primitives and synchronization primitives make it unnecessary for most Linux kernel hackers to worry about memory barriers. This is especially good news given the large number of CPUs and systems that Linux supports and the resulting wide variety of memory-consistency models. However, there are times when knowing about memory barriers can be helpful, and I hope that this article has served as a good introduction to them.
I owe thanks to many CPU architects for patiently explaining the instruction- and memory-reordering features of their CPUs, particularly Wayne Cardoza, Ed Silha, Anton Blanchard, Tim Slegel, Juergen Probst, Ingo Adlung and Ravi Arimilli. Wayne deserves special thanks for his patience in explaining Alpha's reordering of dependent loads, a lesson that I resisted learning quite strenuously!

The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Meet Brian, the invisible boy. Nobody ever seems to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party . . . until, that is, a new kid comes to class.
When Justin, the new boy, arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. And when Brian and Justin team up to work on a class project together, Brian finds a way to shine.
From esteemed author and speaker Trudy Ludwig and acclaimed illustrator Patrice Barton, this gentle story shows how small acts of kindness can help children feel included and allow them to flourish. Any parent, teacher, or counselor looking for material that sensitively addresses the needs of quieter children will find The "Invisible Boy" a valuable and important resource.
Includes backmatter with discussion questions and resources for further reading.
About the Author

Praise For…
USA Today, August 22, 2013:
"Illustrator Barton adds a wonderful touch by drawing all the other characters in color but sketching Brian in faint shades of black and white - at least at first....Before long, Brian, in living color, is not so invisible after all. It's a lovely lesson in the simple acts of friendship, especially recommended for the most popular kids in class."
Scholastic Instructor, Fall 2013:
"Pitch-perfect words and art."
Starred Review, School Library Journal, September 2013:
"This is a simple yet heartfelt story about a boy who has been excluded for no apparent reason but finds a way to cope and eventually gains acceptance."
Kirkus Reviews, September 15, 2013:
"Tender illustrations rendered in glowing hues capture Brian's isolation deftly...Use this to start a discussion: The author includes suggested questions and recommended reading lists for adults and children. Accessible, reassuring and hopeful."
Publishers Weekly, August 26, 2013:
"Ludwig and Barton understand classroom dynamics...They portray Brian's situation as a matter of groupthink that can be rebooted through small steps. It's a smart strategy, one that can be leveraged through the book's excellent discussion guide."
"Trudy Ludwig has given us the gift of another empathic, poignant book for children that addresses the complex topic of peer relationships...A must-read."
- Carrie Goldman, award-winning author of BULLIED: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know about Ending the Cycle of Fear

I must be missing something. I'd like the form user to be able to select multiple options, for example, to be able to select two out of three colours listed. For the life of me I can't get it to work.
I know I could have multiple checkboxes but then how do I put a title above the checkboxes, for example, 'What colours do you want?"

Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu has hit back at criticism of his leadership by former premier Jeff Kennett urging the ex-Liberal leader to "let go".
Mr Kennett, a friend of Mr Baillieu, said the coalition government were not good communicators, and the premier himself was not comfortable with the media.

Baillieu to Kennett: Jeff, let go
Ted Baillieu defends his record as Premier, amid cliams by Liberal ally Jeff Kennett that his ability to sell his government's message is 'far from good enough'.
"It comes to a broader point and that is the ability of the government to sell its message," Mr Kennett told Fairfax radio on Thursday.
"I think that is far from good enough."
Mr Baillieu said he disagreed with Mr Kennett and urged him to take the advice he gave Qantas chief Alan Joyce.
"My advice is: Jeff take your own advice," Mr Baillieu told radio station 3AW on Friday.
"I think his basic proposition was 'you gotta let go'."
Asked if he believed numbers were being counted against him, Mr Baillieu said he will be getting on with the job.
"In politics there's always someone biting at your ankles," he said.
On speculation that Planning Minister Matthew Guy was being touted as future leader, Mr Baillieu said he had been reading that story for five or six years.
Asked if he believed Mr Guy was loyal to him, Mr Baillieu said he believed Mr Guy was doing a "fantastic" job.
"I have no questions about Matthew or anyone else. We're getting on with the job.
"I'm not fussed."
Mr Baillieu later said he highly respected what Mr Kennett did as premier but he was not always right.
''Jeffrey did a fantastic job as premier, we respect him, he had lots of different opinions, he's not always right,'' he told reporters.
But the premier conceded there was room to improve communication.
''We can always do better at communication, we acknowledge that and we seek to do that at every opportunity,'' he said.

Once I typed in the name of blog and my email i wasn't taken to a page giving me my admin name and password data but just to a page with the WordPress logo. I tried the install again and got the same result except this time it said
"Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first."
Thats it, no redirect to any useful information.
Can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong?

I have tried reinstalling with pip install -U PyCrypto. I have also tried installing the python-crypto and python-crypto-dbg packages with Aptitude, to no avail. I still get the same error. Anyone have any ideas that might help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

This beautiful, quiet, country setting on 5 acres is PERFECT for summer vacations with a large in-ground pool (available May-September. Excellent for family reunions, vacations with friends, or just a family getaway. Also, a wonderful setting for women, or men's retreats, including leadership conferences and fall weekends. The property backs up to a beautiful wooded area. This area is near to Little Darby Creek. The property has plenty of room for a group to spread out, but more privacy and comfort than a hotel. The pool area includes beautiful landscaping, a patio and picnic tables.
The property is located on a quiet country road wonderful for taking relaxing walks and bike riding. The driveway is large with a circle for children to ride and play on. It also includes a trampoline and a basketball hoop.
The front porch is charming for sitting and relaxing. It includes a swing, sitting area and beautiful views. The sunroom off the back of the house has an eating area.
The first floor includes a spacious master bedroom and bathroom complete with a jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom across the hall has a bunk bed (2 twins), and a crib.
The large open kitchen includes everything needed for your time here.
The first floor also has a laundry room with 2 full size washers and dryers also a sink.
On the first floor there is also a dining room, full bathroom and a beautiful family room.
The second floor has 4 bedrooms with one shared full bathroom. There is a room with 1 queen bed. A second room has 2 twins and off this bedrooms there is an entrance into a bonus room with 1 full bed. There is also a NEW ROOM opened for the first time!! This room has 5 twin sized beds. (one is a set of bunks.)
Over the garage is a large suite with a full bathroom, a sitting area, and plenty of space for sleeping. There is a queen size bed, 2 twins and includes a queen size pull out couch. This private guest suite is very quiet and includes its own heating, cooling, and dorm size refrigerator.
The spacious basement is finished. There is a half bathroom along with couches, t.v., wii, xbox, air hockey, ping pong, pool, a dart board and sauna.
Nearby our property there are metro parks for hiking, easy access to OSU stadium for a weekend game, and plenty of shopping areas. The property is 25 miles from the Columbus Zoo, ranked number 1 in the nation in 2009. Also, only 10 minutes from Der Dutchman a popular Amish restaurant and gift shop in the area.

Our family purchased this house in 2003. It is our dream house and the perfect place to raise our family. We are hoping to follow another dream and spend time each year in Guatemala or Morocco, Africa working with orphans.
The Owner purchased this house in 2003
Ideal location in the country, but easy access to everything. About 30 minutes from downtown Columbus.
A beautiful, peaceful, country setting.
Had our 4th family vacation at this wonderful property in August. Each year/time has been better than the previous. The property has everything a family could ask for. Young, old, active, sedate; there is something for everyone. As I posted in previous reviews, the owner is a gracious host and is considerate of the renters privacy and needs. We had a strong storm knock a pole and power line down not too far from the house. If we hadn't gone outside and heard the generator running, we would never have known the power was out. It took most of the day for the power company to make repairs, but we were not inconvenienced in the least. We have looked, but have not found a rental property in the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana area that compares with this for amenities and price.
We had a great time on our girls trip. It was a combination of moms and daughters and there was something for everyone. The house accommodates large groups very well. I hope we will do this again next year.
We had our Inaugural Family Reunion and the house was perfect for our needs. We were amazed at how clean and organized it was and it felt like our home for the time we were there. The kitchen is big, which is where we spend a lot of the time, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The living room was great for group photos. The sunroom was perfect for cards, as was the basement. There was plenty to keep us entertained, books, game consoles, ping pong table, pool table and many other things. Next year we will be here in the summer so we can enjoy the beautiful outdoors !! The yard is plenty big for volleyball and other activities. This house was better than we ever imagined!
The house is exactly as listed and pictured. And it was easy to find. Two ovens came in handy, that was a nice surprise.
We had an amazing time staying here! The house slept our entire lacrosse team and coaching staff comfortably. It was a central location for all our games while we were in the area and we could not have been more pleased. The home owners were extremely accommodating of our needs and beyond helpful. I hope we will be able to stay in the area again just so we could stay here again!
Our group of 15 Milwaukee March Maniacs was completely comfortable in this large and comfortable home. This was the first year we didn't stay at a hotel and the experience was much more rich and fun. We could play cards in the dining room while a group was eating or hanging out in the kitchen. The hot tub was relaxing and the sauna first rate. Denise was helpful getting us the wi-fi password when we couldn't locate it. All in all an excellent experience for our group of WI basketball fans. (BTW Wisconsin is in the final 4, at least!)
Our family of 7 adults and 10 children (ages 13 to 2 months) came from Ohio cities and from Missouri to celebrate Christmas in this house. It was perfect! There was lots of space for everyone to spread out. The two eating areas were perfect for family dinners. The basement offered entertainment choices for all ages and tastes. Our younger children loved the castle, blocks, and wooden train set. The older ones had ping pong and air hockey tournaments. We also played some of the board games. The weather was mild and our children enjoyed using the trampoline and bikes and riding toys outside (lots of safe space for little ones to ride). We found a great variety of videos to watch and books to read. We appreciated having Internet access for those who had to keep in touch with work. The cable service allowed the sports fans to watch their favorite football teams. Shopping was convenient and nearby. One afternoon we all went to Plain Cityfor bowling,followed by pizza from Jans and Tony's for more family fun. It was especially nice to have Christmas decorations in the house. The grandchildren are already asking if we will go to the "Christmas House" again.

Slow-Smoked Texas Barbecue Via Brooklyn
Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue Succeeds in Smoking
These days, plenty of pitmasters recreate Texas barbecue in the limited space available to a restaurant in the city. Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue is one that is succeeding.
In an effort to stand out, the owners of this Flatbush Avenue spot teamed up with John Avila, the award-winning pitmaster who cut his teeth at Austin's Franklin BBQ.
Mr. Avila has since departed, but his knowledge and recipes seem to be in good hands with chef Andres Fernandez.
The restaurant's sleek red box smoker works 24 hours a day tenderizing everything from brisket and ribs to sausage and turkey. But limited space means limited meat at lunch (read: no turkey).
The tender brisket—fatty or lean—picks up the slack. It's slow-smoked for 18 hours in a black-pepper heavy rub and in no need of sauce. Pulled pork is equally moist, peppery and good.
The expansive menu allows room to try both. Brisket or pulled port can be rolled into a taco ($10), as a sandwich ($10-14), but also serving sizes as small as a ¼ pound ($4.50 for pulled pork, $5.50 for lean or fatty brisket). Round a meal out with sides. Bread-crumb-topped macaroni and cheese is rich and pillowy ($4 for 8 ounces, $7.50 for 16 ounces). The corn ($6) is a take on esquites, the Mexican street food, which gets a Texas-style kick of house-made salsa verde.
Grab a seat in the window, which on warm days are opened onto Flatbush Avenue. The music drowns out the traffic and weekday afternoons tend to be very different from evenings, especially when Barclays Center is humming.

Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue, 267 Flatbush Ave. near St. Mark's Avenue; open daily at 11 a.m.; (718) 622-2224; DOH grade: A.
