Fall Out Boy Wrote Songs for One Direction That Were Never Used
Fall Out Boy and One Direction? It's the collaboration we never knew we needed -- and we're obsessed with it.
Fall Out Boy and One Direction? It's the collaboration we never knew we needed -- and we're obsessed with it.
Fall Out Boy today (Jan. 15) announced their 40+ city 'Boys of Zummer' co-headlining tour and they will be in Bangor, Sat. June 20.
Fall Out Boy. Paramore. Pete Wentz. Hayley Williams. Summer 2014. Live. Monumentour.
Fall Out Boy have a funny way of wishing their fans a merry Christmas -- with their spooky new 'Death Valley' video.
When thinking of Victoria's Secret, pop-punk band Fall Out Boy may not be the first thing to come to mind. But after an impressive performance at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which aired tonight, Dec. 10, maybe they should be paired together more often.
Fall Out Boy were one of the few bands to perform at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Nov. 28), since, well, it's not exactly easy to play an instrument on a moving float when it's freezing out, since your hands get chilled and trying to manipulate guitar strings presents a problem at times.
Congrats to Fall Out Boy. The foursome mounted a massive comeback campaign earlier this year and just knocked Hayley Williams' Paramore out of the top slot of the Billboard Top 200 chart.
Weekend 2 of Coachella ran from April 19 through April 21, and despite the largely alt-leaning nature of the event, held in the desert of Indio, Calif., a few of your favorite pop stars found their way onto the stage, like 2 Chainz and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Janelle Monae, among others.
If you've never seen the movie 'This Is Spinal Tap,' then Fall Out Boy's performance of 'My Songs Know What You Did on 'Conan' last night probably made little-to-no-sense to you. The Chicago band recreated a scene from the 1984 mockumentary when the Spinal Tap bassist, played by Harry Shearer, got trapped in a theatrical pod that the band was using on stage.
Fall Out Boy will drop their new album 'Save Rock and Roll' in just under two weeks, so what better way to herald the arrival of the new album than with a 2 Chainz remix of the first single?

Paizo Partners with Reaper to Produce Pathfinder Miniatures
Monthly metal miniatures releases to support Paizo's new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
Paizo Publishing and Reaper Miniatures today announced a new partnership that will see Reaper produce monthly metal miniature releases to support Paizo's blockbuster new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The line is set to debut in Fall 2009, with fantasy miniatures supporting the Pathfinder RPG, Pathfinder Adventure Paths, Pathfinder Modules, and the world of the Pathfinder Chronicles. All miniatures will be cast in the finest white-metal alloy and will be available through regular hobby distribution channels.
"We're ecstatic to be working with the fine people at Paizo Publishing," said Ed Pugh, CEO of Reaper Miniatures. "The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game has set a new standard in roleplaying and gaming in our industry. We're proud to be a part of such a groundbreaking endeavor."
With the formal release of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook scheduled for tomorrow, on the opening day of the Gen Con Game Fair, Paizo has already seen its initial print run of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook sell out completely to gamers and distributors, with the presses working overtime on a new second printing expected in early November. The massive Pathfinder Bestiary, featuring more than 350 fantastic foes for Pathfinder heroes, debuts in October. The Pathfinder RPG is an evolution of the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest fantasy roleplaying game, and is released under the terms of the Open Game License.
"All of us at Paizo use miniatures in our games, and when it comes to marrying high-impact sculpts with excellent production and distribution, Reaper Miniatures stands at the very pinnacle of the hobby games industry," said Erik Mona, Publisher of Paizo Publishing. "I simply cannot wait to discover the incredible sculpts and dynamic characters Reaper will produce for its Pathfinder line."
The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook and Reaper's extensive, award-winning miniatures line can be found wherever gaming products are sold or can be purchased directly from Paizo Publishing via paizo.com.
For more information about Reaper Miniatures, visit the Reaper Miniatures website at ReaperMini.com.

How can I convert between currencies in Objective-C, using either the Cocoa or Cocoa Touch frameworks?
Well, aren't you a lucky fellow:
Simply copy the entire "DDUnitConverter" subfolder into your project, then do:
That will convert £42 to USD$.
Rates are pulled from the IMF automatically, but if you really need to, you can invoke
One alternative, is to use the YQL (Yahoo Query Language) to retrieve the latest rates. Yahoo's dev site makes it pretty easy to get started in Objective-C and there are plenty of SO examples on YQL. http://developer.yahoo.com/social/sdk/objectivec/
You may find Yahoo is very nice and liberal with their terms & conditions for many of their data APIs. It's also a lot less fragile than a non dedicated API like Dave is using. Dave writes great code, but the IMF TSV file is not nearly as guaranteed to be available as the YQL services.

. - - [07/Jul/2014:02:07:41 -0700] "GET /page/70/?blog=wojrxunpshbxzs HTTP/1.1" 200 22226 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.71 Safari/537.36"
where the only IP information is a single dot. My searches of WebmasterWorld point to this possibly being a host server problem, and so I've already presented the problem to them along with representative entries like the above and the corresponding logs they came from. The response to date has been that they can't reproduce the issue and ask if I know if one particular IP is causing this. I don't.
My question is twofold.
First, because there seems to be no sort of IP to communicate with, is this sort of thing necessarily a case where the visitor can at most just fill my logs with initial requests that go no further? If so, I can just ignore it.
Second, though, if the visitor is somehow able to transact business on my site (spam, hacking attempts), is there a method of denying access via .htaccess based on nothing but a . as the IP? I am so far unaware of one, and the UA in all of these cases seems to my ignorant eyes like a common browser, so I'm hesitant to use that as a variable. I have no interest in visitors from . dot.
I respect this site immensely and have learned much from reading it periodically. Thanks for any help you can give me now.

If that's actually the header they're sending, it would be
slotted into the "IP" section of whatever Apache mod you use for lockouts. (Uh... this is Apache, right?) That is, until you start getting IPv6 visitors; then you have to tweak it.
The UA looks legit, unless there's some tiny detail I don't see, like a spurious browser version number.
But it really seems like a logging issue.

Thanks, Lucy; yes, Apache, 2.2 if I recall. As my original post may have indicated, results from my host support can be problematic, but I remain hopeful that they will soon grasp the nature of the problem presented to them and that it will just turn out to be a logging problem.
Should I implement that string in my mod_authz_host (Allow/Deny) section, what if any collateral damage could I do to anyone coming from anywhere other than . ? Thanks again.

There shouldn't be any. A normal, correct IP is in the form
(numerals, dot, numerals, dot, numerals, dot, numerals)
or technically
\d{1,3} et cetera
but let's not borrow trouble
and we're making a rule to lock out the ones that don't match. Since we're not sure what form is actually reaching the server, the rule is best expressed as a negative: "the IP is
in this acceptable form". This will only affect the unwanted visitors.
That's assuming you've got malign robots intentionally not sending an IP header. (Is this even possible?) If it's honest humans whose ISP and/or browser is acting up, then yes, there can be collateral damage. That's why it is important to have a friendly 403 page.
:: detour to test site because I'm making this up as I go along ::
Drat. mod_setenvif doesn't seem to recognize ! in patterns, so that leaves mod_rewrite:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$
RewriteRule .? - [F]
As with any RewriteRule leading to the [F] lockout,
make sure there is an exemption for your custom 403 page
. Otherwise the server goes into an infinite loop resulting in a behind-the-scenes 500 error.

Ah, excellent.
:: now waiting for punchline to reveal that the host's logging rule forgot to update itself for IPv6 requests, and that's what is happening here ::
That very well may be the case. A big across the board upgrade to PHP 5.4 is planned, so they may be behind on IPv6 as well.
Thank you again for the useful, to the point info. So far nothing obviously troubling has appeared in the rest of the log entry, so for the moment I shall wait watchfully for further breakthroughs by all parties, support included. But I did want to position myself ahead of the curve if possible, because I prefer visitors to my house to wear faces.

Oh, my, that sounds familiar. Either we're on the same host, or they're all racing to copy each other ;)
:: detour to check ::
Huh. When I wasn't looking, MAMP switched to 5.5 as its default, so a real-life move to 5.4 is high time. But my live sites are all 5.3,* so presumably they do it in overlapping waves. Wonder if we'll get Apache 2.4 before 2.6 comes out? :)
* Except the test site, which I've just changed to 5.4 to see if it explodes.

For anyone chasing this issue in the future, I'm afraid all I have to offer at this point is this denouement. Beyond confirming it wasn't an IPv6 issue, there wasn't much interest on the host side itself in this anomaly. They did offer to move me from my shared server to VPS temporarily while they changed the Apache settings in order to see if they could track down the IP, then back again, but as I mentioned to them that process would have been more disruptive than the current issue itself.
Apparently a nextgen Ubuntu OS may provide better inherent logging capabilities than my current one. In the meantime, should things turn malicious I still have the kind Lucy's excellent remote address block.

President Barack Obama's approval rating is holding steady at "low" due to a number of issues, including the situation in Ukraine, the rollout of Obamacare, and the continued stagnation of the economy.
According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll out today, Obama's rating is hovering at 41 percent.
Obama's approval rating was at its lowest ever at 39 percent during the Obamacare website scandal in November and December 2013, according to a Real Clear Politics average of several approval ratings polls.
Obama's approval rating actually trended upward in the first three months of 2014, peaking at 46 percent. On individual issues, the meaning behind Obama's approval rating fiasco becomes clearer: only 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, only 37 percent approve of his Obamacare implementation, and – drumroll – a paltry 34 percent think he's doing a good job with Ukraine.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll is actually one of the harshest for Obama – Gallup has Obama's approval rating at 43 percent, Rasmussen Reports at a wonderful 47 percent, and Reuters at 44 percent.

One TNA wrestler is 'highly skeptical' about the possibility of Sting joining World Wrestling Entertainment since the multi-time wrestling champion has openly expressed mistrust when it comes to working for Vince McMahon. Sting feels he has to be carried through matches, and he's developed a level of trust with several TNA wrestlers.
Many people within the industry consider Sting to be absent minded in the squared circle. Wrestlers who have worked with him over the years have stated that he often forgets spots and has to be carried by his opponents.
TNA Wrestling officials have been quiet regarding Sting's status. People often in the know of TNA's wheelings and dealings say they are unaware of Sting re-signing with the company. However, it's considered possible that he has re-signed with TNA since company president Dixie Carter is the main reason he has re-signed with the organization in the past. It's become an annual joke within TNA that creative will be told to work on Sting's retirement angle only to have Carter inform them that she signed him to a new one-year contract.

Legend of Mana
A couple questions regarding magic and materials...
1): Is there any way to coerce the magic spirits into dropping gold coins more often, or is the procedure random as long as the land's mana is high enough? I've been running around in Feig Snowfields for the past 45 minutes or so, attempting to get at least one gold coin for each element. The snowfields have it's mana maxed in each element, but yet there are still many cases where the spirits doggedly refuse to yield their gold -- especially the Jinn and Undine -- even when they enjoy the song.
2): What is the best and second best material in the game? Originally, when playing without the aid of a guide, I thought that Ishe Platinum was the top-of-the-line, since I never got far enough in to find any better. Now, however, I've found the my previous assessment to be incorrect, with an even better form of Iron (of which I've forgotten the exact name sadly,) available from both quests and shops.
Oh, and: First post. ;)
Thank you for your time,
Assuming you catch the elemental spirit, you've got such-and-such percent of getting silver and such-and-such (significantly lower) percent of getting gold. It's purely random and there's nothing you can do to influence the silver vs. gold odds, so just keep trying. (If, of course, you don't catch the spirit, then you get neither silver nor gold. Natch.)
As for "best material", there is no one material that's best for all purposes.
DiorWood and DragonScales make the best weapons when tempered to high essence levels (DiorWood for some types, DragonScales for others), however many weapon types allow you to hit the max of 999 attack power with a variety of lesser materials. (Weapon types that are naturally high in attack, like hammers, are the easiest - and thus have the widest variety of 999-potential materials.) Adamantite gives good results for freshly tempered weapons but doesn't benefit as much from raising essence levels.
DragonScales is probably the best for physical defense in armor (although there are three different defense stats, and I think it gets aced out in one or two by something else), while Adamantite *is* the best for magic defense in armor. (With a nod to the gems - Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Pearl - which are also very good and far more easily obtained.)
Finally, some other materials are notable for other purposes. All aerolites (names tend to end in "rock"), for example, are exceptionally easy to raise essence levels with, when you know what you're doing (or if you follow a recipe from someone who does). Altena Felt, while rather crappy overall, somehow manages to make fantastically excellent spears. (You can hit 999 attack with an Altena Felt spear, which is an amusing concept.)
Overall, I'd say that for various purposes, you'd want Dragon Scales, Dior Wood, or Adamantite. However, there *are* reasons to use other things, such as convenience (aerolites) or equivalent effectiveness with much less rarity.

Beautiful Set
Love this comforter set but should have read the description more carefully. It did not include a sheet set and two of the sham covers were 24 inch square.This is pretty large and difficult to find forms to put in them. The fabric was a bit stiff as well but I'm hoping over time it will soften up!Read More
Pleased with the reversibility of the comforter.
The set came with several extra pieces more so than most comforters. The comforter is a little stiff and noisy to sleep under even after trying to soften by fluffing in the dryer, but overall pleased with its weight and its design. The pillow shams' zipper was a little too short to insert a pillow into them. Had to fold a pillow in half to be able to get into the opening. Overall pleased with the quality.Read More

With the assistance of a comforter set, any bedroom can become a place of fashionable comfort in no time.

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down. Most down comforters are made with goose down, but some may include down feathers from other species of fowl. Look below to learn how to buy a down comforter.
How to Wash Bed Comforters
In addition to being crucial to a good night's rest, clean comforter sets are also vital to healthy living. Make sure your bedding is cozy and clean by learning how to wash bed comforters. It may seem like a big job, but you'll find that it's actually a simple, painless process.
How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in. Bedding stored in moisture-resistant bags with the air removed will be clean, but it may be flat, too. Generally stored during the warm seasons, down comforters may become lumpy if the filling was unevenly distributed while they were packed away. Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed. These should be cleaned thoroughly once every three months, and large comforters may need to be dry-cleaned. However, many comforter sets can be cleaned at home if you have the right equipment. Take a look below to learn how to clean bed comforters.
How to Pick Stylish Discount Comforters
When you think of discount comforters, style may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it should be. Many assume that design has to be sacrificed when looking for bargains, but it's actually quite easy to find stylish discount comforters that fit your budget and your decorating style. With a bit of thought and a good eye, getting a chic comforter set at a discount price can be a breeze. If you're hoping to fill your bedroom with style without emptying your wallet, take a look at the article below to learn how to pick stylish discount comforters.

How to Refinish Dining Room Chairs
Nicks, scratches and dings all have the potential to turn a beautiful wooden dining room set into an eyesore, but often the damage can be easily reversed. When your dining room chairs are still functional but leave something to be desired cosmetically, consider refinishing furniture pieces rather than replacing them. Refinishing dining room chairs is a simple do-it-yourself project that, with the proper preparation and technique, can produce professional-quality results at a fraction of the cost of professional restoration.

History of the Goose Down Comforter
The use of down can be traced back to prehistoric times, but the goose down comforter that can be found on many beds today didn't gain popularity until much later. Ideal for keeping you warm during cold winter nights, goose down comforters are some of the most luxurious bedding pieces you can buy when you want to be surrounded by the comfort of down. This short history of the goose down comforter will bolster your knowledge of down and may convince you to invest in the luxury of a goose down comforter for yourself.

How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served.

From Our Readers: Morpheus' 'Failure Is A Good Thing'
When we reported the 'total loss' of NASA's moon lander Morpheus during testing, some readers expressed disappointment.
Sandra Chapin called it a 'bummer':
"To me the sad thing is not the loss of money, but the loss of time. How long will it take to redesign and build a new one? Puts us that much further behind in gathering data."
But others, like Christopher Dahle, were quick to point that "in the application and development of technology, failure is a good thing."
Dahle continues:
"Success means that we have stopped learning. When things break, we discover weaknesses and we fix them. These things need to be pushed to the breaking point and well past design expectations here on Earth, before we send them to the Moon or put people in them. The more we break it, the more we learn, and the better the final product will be."

Natural Selection: Gary Giddins on Comedy, Film, Music, and Books
Page 1 of 1
Posted August 7, 2006
A wonderfully refreshing collection of essays/reviews on the lively arts
Whether writing on films, TV, music, books, or comedy, Giddins displays in this volume an impressive perspective and depth of knowledge about his subject matter. Within this compendium, the author gives thoughtful discussion to an array of diverse topics: ranging from Jerry Lewis's artistic standing to an evaluation of a Doris Day DVD collection, to a nostalgic discussion of the Modern Library book series, to the impact (or lack thereof)of the Frank Sinatra TV miniseries produced by the crooner's daughter. Giddins is proof that a critic/reviewer/essayist can be astute, articulate, amusing, and exceedingly informative. A great read!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.
