Unbelievable. Always a
Unbelievable. Always a problem. Even the author's fix doesn't work. Gotta love the code monkeys who can't explain their own work. It's useless unless other people can benefit from it.
PXE files
There are two files under the "pxe" directory, "scrapper" and "scrapper.bin", i'm assuming one is kernel and the other is init image?
i had the same problem...
i had the same problem... apparently -fno-stack-protector-all is not a valid option on my machine.. no idea why and i really don't care that much so long as i can compile.
a quick workaround:-
use an older compiler alongside your existing setup- this is actually useful in many situations,
if your a debian-derivative, e.g. ubuntu:
apt-get install gcc-3.4
make CC=gcc-3.4
hope this is helpful to someone

add -fno-stack-protector to the Makefile in the following sub-directories: stand, pxe, and usb.
It should then compile.

True to its pagan origins, the faithful have burnt female effigies of winter and consumed vast quantities of pancakes. But there is a serious side, as more Russians embrace Orthodox Christianity.

Love 'em, but don't own 'em.
"Are you in a hurry to be somewhere else?"
Magnus stumbled getting out of his pants, elegantly of course, and kicked them aside with gusto as his door slammed shut of its own accord behind them.
"Duty shrieks, darling. Such a horrible sound, it gives me a headache really. I have a little function I'm attending for a client tonight. Can we be quick?" The man in front of him looked on the verge of being annoyed, or perhaps disappointed, but he decided to drop the subject at the exact moment when the last stitch of Magnus's clothes hit the floor.
"You're not expecting to be interrupted again, are you?"
"By the seventh circle of hell, I hope not." Magnus prudently flicked his wrist behind him in the direction of the door, and heard the faint and satisfying sound of the deadbolt. A locked door wouldn't slow down most of the company that came calling on him for long, but the sound of the door being broken down would at least give them a warning. Magnus made quick work of shedding his companion's clothes as they flowed into the bedroom.
Magnus has rarely been so offended as when two minor warlocks stormed into his apartment the day before and demanded an audience with him to settle some silly dispute over an enchanted cat. They interrupted what had been a lovely canoodling session, and there had barely been time to hide his house guest in the closet (a wonderful irony, Magnus thought). He fairly took the warlocks' heads off, despite being pointedly reminded by them that he'd set the appointment in the first place.
It wasn't often that he was preoccupied enough to be caught unawares, but there had been extenuating circumstances. Coming home to find a gorgeous man lounging on his staircase, all rumpled hair and dow eyes, tended to cause some disruption in his routine. (It really had been a long time since his heart quickened, he'd thought.) While he had been dealing out harsh justice in the living room, to his great chagrin his visitor had disappeared out the window.
Magnus had sulked and moped for the rest of the evening until he got a text apologizing for the sudden departure and asking if they could reschedule for today. Fabulous rapture, except he already had another engagement, one for a very powerful and wealthy client who he was not keen to blow off entirely. Magnus reasoned that if he was extra fashionable, he could forgiven for being extra late.
"Yesterday you were telling me..." Magnus half listened to the words as he enjoyed the sensation of his ear being nibbled between words. "About your new lover."
"Was I?" Magnus's voice dropped an octave and his stomach seemed to hollow out as deft fingers ran over his shoulders and cupped his neck.
"You were. I was very interested to hear more."
Magnus had his mouth occupied on an exposed nipple. The insistent hand on the back of his neck and a firm pull of his hair drew a rumble from deep in his throat. He looked up as he raked his teeth over bare skin. His ministrations were causing a hazy look of heavy desire, but there was still expectancy in the return gaze.
"Is this really necessary right now?" He threw his leg up and straddled the most delectable pair of hips he'd encountered in decades. He really wasn't interested in talking when he was so pressed for time.
Those hips bucked under him, setting his thighs on fire. He lunged forward and captured a deep kiss. Without breaking away, he raised himself up, grasped the man under him, and slid back. His small gasp was swallowed up, and the hands on his back tightened, pulling him closer. Magnus threw his head back and felt lips on his collarbone.
"Is he good?" The whisper tickled against his throat.
Magnus purred and ground his hips down in answer. Nails pricked into his lower back, driving him to move faster, with more urgency. He squeezed his thighs together, feeling the heavy went pant slid across his skin.
"He is."
"And what else?" The hands Magnus felt like flames dancing over his skin moved lower, grafting to the back of his thighs and deepening his thrusts. It couldn't be deep enough. They throbbed together, beating out a rhythm that couldn't keep up with his racing heart. Magnus smiled and bent in for another kiss, full of heat.
"Young. He even makes me feel young, and that is not easy to do." Magnus savored the salt taste of sweat as he ran his tongue across the neck beneath him. The shiver passed between them like electricity. Magnus felt himself warming up to the game.
"You know, he's really extraordinary. Just a little water and attention, and he's become a sweet, exquisite blossom."
"It sounds strangely like it was all your work."
Magnus laughed. "I've rarely been accused of missing a ripe opportunity. But I was as surprised as anyone at first. He's intense, and sensitive. I imagine he's been told he's difficult to read, but when we're together I can tell he feels everything, notices everything." Magnus drew the hands behind his back around and interlocked their fingers, pressing the man beneath him back into the bed. He changed his pace to a slow rock and felt the tightly muscled arms straining against his hold. He licked his lips in challenge, and both their tastes mingled on his tongue.
It was too much, and Magnus knew it would be. Before he could catch his breath he felt himself lifted up and plunged onto his back. Being on the bottom gave him just the vantage he wanted of the chiseled chest and flat planes of abs.
"And enthusiastic," Magnus purred. He arched his back and locked his arms behind his partner's back. He was lost for words after that. They moved deeper together, straining, kissing, clutching, breaking. Magnus, with centuries of practice, held out the longest, but just barely.
When they were both completely spent, Magnus was unwilling to admit he had to go, and nuzzled deeper into the bed and the arms around him. He was seriously considering going to sleep when he felt his hair stirred by a light sigh.
"He sounds amazing."
Magnus propped himself up on one elbow and looked steadily up. "Alexander, you are one of the most incredible men I've ever met. Let alone taken as a lover. And you're absolutely a natural, if that's what you were worried about." Alec's smile was so openly pleased that Magnus couldn't help but draw him into another intense kiss. He moved onto his knees and leveraged his weight against the headboard, pinning him down. Alec's hands were around his waist, their pull alarmingly alluring, a wild magic all his own that.
Magnus swore as he broke away. "I forgot to mention you're a dangerous influence." He dragged himself off the bed and willed his body across the room and into his closet against its wishes, to where his outfit was laid out for the evening. "I really should go. I was supposed to arrive an hour ago."
Alec scrambled up behind him, and Magnus heard him dressing hurriedly. Magnus waved himself into the new clothes and waltzed out, quieting the double disappointment at seeing Alec dressed, and dressed in such drab clothes.
"You don't have to rush off, Alexander." Alex's head jerked up. The invitation to stay was always implied, but Magnus knew there were many influencing factors that necessitated he return to the Institute each night. He gestured. "There, on top of the dresser. I had it made this morning."
Alec picked up a plain envelope, the only item sitting out, and tipped it up. A brass key slipped into his palm. "This is...for me?"
"Well, I thought it might be more comfortable than waiting on the stairs." Magnus stepped into Alec's circle and touched his hand, still holding the key out as if he were uncertain it was real, or that he should take it. "Come whenever you want. Maybe we'll actually get to make a full evening of it sometime."
Alec clasped the key and shoved it deep into his pocket. This time Magnus was caught off guard by the sudden kiss. Alec's lips were so tender against his that he felt himself melting to the floor.
"Thank you," Alec said, pulling away. "And have fun at work." He stepped back, devastatingly cheerful, leaving Magnus swaying alone.
"That is highly unlikely," Magnus sighed. He force himself to trudge toward the door. Alec followed him, and stood at the top of the landing watching him go. His one last wistful glance back at Alec leaning in the open doorway, once again fingering his new key with a content smile, swelled his heart until it was nearly unbearable.
He was in such a foul and distracted mood that he almost allowed his client to be killed in the bathroom that night out of spite. It turns out his suspicion that there was a demon assassin after him had been correct, but the satisfaction of a job well done did not at all make up for the fact that Magnus hadn't spent the evening in bed not being alone. Alec was long gone when he returned home, but the empty key envelope was on the kitchen counter with a hand scrawled note: Thanks again. See you. And Magnus knew he would.

"I can't say enough about what an AMAZING experience it was for my students! I've never gotten so many hugs from students AND parents!!!!!" - Alison C. (Teacher)
"Amazing doesn't describe tonight. What an incredible experience for every student that attended!" -Lauren F. (Teacher)
"We participated last year, and it was an epic experience!! My students and I were in awe and love being a part of this program. It changed their perspective of performing. We are excited to participate again!!" - Melissa A. (Teacher)
American Young Voices is the perfect add-on to your current music curriculum. Give your students the goal of singing in a live concert in one of the greatest arena's in the world while meeting National Core Arts Standards and keeping their focus on skills such as:
You are invited to join American Young Voices and give your students an inspiring and educational once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity.
As well, we are proud to say that the schools that take part in Young Voices have reported an increase in the numbers of children wanting to join the choir with the most pronounced change being in the number of boys wanting to be involved.
"I would bet our chorus numbers will double once the word gets around about this experience. For one night you guys turned 3000 kids into rock stars." - Brian S. (Teacher)
"We are definitely coming back for 2016! The kids are staying in the choir because of this." - Lito V. (Teacher)
"Words cannot express how happy our students, families and staff were last night! It was epic! Can't wait for next year." - Melissa M. (Teacher)
Once you have registered your students, we will send you all your resources (Music and Information Pack, with CD's for Music) once we have received your registration.
"Everything about this experience was just great: the material chosen, the fabulous conductor, the great band, singers and MC, the lighting, standing behind the stage and experiencing how a rock concert looks from up close and so much more. We will definitely be there EVERY YEAR!" - Dassi R (Teachers)
"The reviews have been rave and everyone is already talking of returning next year. What a great moment that was! Everything that one hoped for ...and beyond! I am so happy that our school was part of it. We will be back! - Remy L. (Teacher)
As a teacher, you can expect so much from the American Young Voices experience, not only on the day of the concert but during the time leading up to it.
The team of professionals that bring American Young Voices to you are always hard at work making sure that you get the most out of your rehearsal period. From the start, we are putting together information packs, musical arrangements, and teacher support CDs so that you can make the most of the time with your students before the big day.
To further assist you, there is an online teacher community called Yammer that is designed to be an open forum for you to discuss various aspects about the American Young Voices experience. Connect with other teachers and our online community managers to share tips and teaching ideas, ask questions, and so much more!
"I can't tell you what an amazing experience American Young Voices was, not only for my kids but for me too! Parents are raving about it and kids are feeling like a million bucks to have been a part of such an event. They made friends with kids in other schools that were seated nearby which was a wonderful, unexpected bonus! It was so heartwarming to see so many kids being kids, enjoying and making music together and just having a great time! Thanks again for everything!" - Sue Y. (Teacher)
In addition to our online teacher community and information pack, the AYV team is always available to help!
If you have any questions regarding registration, materials and resources, as well as teaching and learning tips and ideas, feel free to ask Erin, our choir coordinator at email@example.com or call 646.770.9018.
"All of your hard work was greatly appreciated...correspondences were prompt, materials arrived in a timely manner, and Erin, you were just wonderful in sending information and answering all of my questions quickly. Getting in the arena and leaving was easy - trying to find our bus in the midst of a sea of yellow buses was an adventure but didn't take too long! Thank you for everything and I hope to be there again next year!" - Ebony W. (Teacher)
"Your attention to detail and prompt answers to any questions was nothing short of amazing... I can't wait until next year!" - Lauren S. (Teacher)

text: Right alongside NC Soft, Epic signed a multi-stage exclusivity agreement with Sony to optimize use of the Unreal Engine 3 for the PS3. The big idea behind this was Unreal Tournament 3. Namely, making it a PS3 exclusive for this financial year. That's right -- the devs responsible for Cogs of Battle want to try their hand at making the PS3 the leading platform for their hot, hot, hotly anticipated UT3. What's really impressive about this announcement isn't necessarily the exclusivity agreement, but the fact Jack Tretton promised us the ability to bring user-created PC mods into the console version of the game via the PlayStation Network. Homebrew is happening, little by little, and we're very happy about that.

Wood spindles are found in stairway banisters or as part of furniture, such as benches and chairs. Spindles are long, round, and sometimes ornate pieces of wood that are formed by experienced woodworkers using lathes. The complexity of your spindles determines the complexity of your refinishing job. The more grooves and turns in a spindle, the more attention must be paid to detail.
Things You'll Need
- Drop cloths, newspapers
- Masking tape
- Heat gun
- Gel stripper
- Cloths
- Putty knife
- Steel wool, medium, coarse and fine
- 100-grit sandpaper
- Stain
- Paint brushes
- Foam brushes
- Shellac
- Glazing liquid
- Tint
- Varnish
- Face mask
- Fans
Protect the area around your project with drop cloths or newspapers before you begin. Tape off any areas you do not wish to damage with stripping agents or paints and stains.
Strip the wood. If the spindle is painted, begin with a heat gun to lift off the paint. If it is stained and varnished, use a gel stripper that goes on thick and will not drip. Allow the stripper the appropriate amount of time to work on the old finish as dictated by the manufacturer. Wipe away the stripper once the appropriate time has lapsed, usually when the existing finish begins to bubble up.
Finish stripping using a putty knife and cloths to wipe away excess finish. Apply medium or coarse steel wool for delicate projects such as furniture, or 100-grit sandpaper for larger projects to remove any remaining finish and smooth the spindle.
Wash the spindle with paint thinner to remove all traces of the stripper and any dust from sanding.
Choose and apply your stain to the spindle using the appropriate sized bristle or foam brush, and using up and down strokes. Move smoothly from one end of the spindle to the other. Once the stain has been allowed to soak into the wood, remove excess with a clean cloth.
Allow the stain to dry overnight.
Wipe down spindles when stain is completely dry to remove any accumulation of dust or debris. Seal the stain with a coat of quick-dry shellac to protect the stain.
Allow the shellac to dry according to the brand's specifications. Rough up the dried shellac with four-zero steel wool, which is the finest you can find. This removes some of the gloss from the shellac.
Apply a coat of varnish to the spindle. Varnish will fully seal and protect your refinished wood spindle.
Tips & Warnings
- Choose a glazing liquid and color tint to apply to the spindle if desired. While optional, this step serves to bring out highlights and low lights in detailed spindles.
- Choose lint free cloths when possible for best results.
- Try out several colors of stain before applying to your spindles to make sure you are happy with the color.
- Always wear a face mask when working with solvents, paints and stains to avoid inhaling fumes.
- Ventilate your work area by opening windows and/or running fans while you work.

The question of whether Las Vegas City Schools will move to a four-day week next school year still lingers, although district officials say those who took part in a survey on the proposal last month overwhelmingly like the idea.
The east side school board met again on Tuesday to discuss Superintendent Sheryl McNellis-Martinez's proposal but took no formal action. The board had been scheduled to take action on the upcoming fiscal year's budget at the meeting, but the district was unable to get the budget done and received an extension from the state.
The West Las Vegas School Board unanimously approved the district's 2012-13 school budget during a special meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
The total budget approved by the board for next school year is $13.3 million, less than this year's budget by nearly $76,000 because of a decrease in enrollment, according to district officials. But district officials have been notified that they will need to cut the budget by another $150,000.

Whichever way the battle for the District 8 Senate seat shakes out, a current state lawmaker will no longer be representing the area in the Roundhouse come Jan. 1.
Sen. Pete Campos, D-Las Vegas, is trying to stave off a challenge from Rep. Thomas Garcia, D-Ocaté. With no Republican in that Senate race, the candidate who walks away with the most votes on Tuesday is all but guaranteed the seat. The district encompasses Colfax, Mora and Guadalupe counties and most of San Miguel County, including Las Vegas.

Exploited for care : abuse and trafficking in domestic work in Italy
Title: Exploited for care : abuse and trafficking in domestic work in Italy
Author: PALUMBO, Letizia
Date: 2016
Series/Number: DemandAT; Policy Briefs; 2016/D8.13
External link: http://www.demandat.eu
Domestic workers, especially live-in workers, are frequently victims of exploitation, including severe abuse and trafficking. This seems to be overlooked by public debate and policies on trafficking. By highlighting the factors producing domestic workers' vulnerability to exploitation as well as the inadequacies of Italian legal and political responses, this policy brief calls for the need to adopt a comprehensive approach to trafficking and severe exploitation in domestic work through the implementation of concerted measures of different natures.

|two questions: HTTP 1.1 headers + constantly open connections in TC
|Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:32:12 GMT
~ 1) Can you achieve such a thing as a registered, dedicated, always open connection to each client in a network from login to logout using tomcat?, and ~ 1.1) How can browsers be configured to take advantage of them? 1.2) What would you suggest if I would like this configuration to be available to different browsers, the user may have? ~ This would be beneficial if you want to use an internal, local network cache for a number of users you know in a network you own ~ Which each user's login a connection is open transparently to that user in a tomcat server that just works as a cache. Different users are not supposed to trample on each others' connections ~ 2) In the (2004) article "Concerning Etags and Datestamps" ~ http://www.iwaw.net/04/Clausen.pdf ~ by Lars R. Clausen, he states: ~ "Avoiding download of the entire body can be done in three different ways: By using a HEAD request first, and then GET if the content is predicted changed, by using a GET and breaking connection after receiving the header if the content is predicted unchanged, or by using the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers in the request. The first method involves an extra connection for each download, which takes time and server resources. The second method requires low-level interaction with the web client, which may be complex to implement. The third method is preferable, though it is subject to errors if the web server does not implement the required functionality correctly, and it may not be able to support more complex prediction schemes." ~ The part I wouldn't totally agree with or that is not clear to me is "The first method involves an extra connection for each download, which takes time and server resources." ~ I think when you hit a server with a "HEAD" request, the server just returns the meta-data without trying to setup sessions or "keep-alive" connections from that client in an unencumbered way, but if you "GET" connections to server resources, servers will do the setup to estabish ongoing connections to that client, so then when you drop the connection after reading the headers, servers do keep the connection open wondering that went of with the client . . . ~ So, I think it you know that the server most likely didn't change some data and that the particular server reliably reports HTTP headers, then it is better to conditionally go with "HEAD" first ~ Is it true? Am I missing something? ~ THanks lbrtchx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

School-Record Three UK Teams Win NCAA Academic Progress Rate Award
May 20, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The University of Kentucky has a school-record three teams -- women's cross country, men's golf and men's basketball -- that have received awards for their Academic Progress Rate scores, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
The Wildcat squads received the honor for placing in the top 10 percent of Division I schools in their respective sports. The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success by the progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR scores are a four-year composite, covering the 2010-11 through 2013-14 school years, that measure eligibility, retention and graduation.
Having three teams earn the APR top-10 award ties the school record set a year ago. It's also the first time that a UK squad has won in four consecutive years, as this marks four in a row for men's golf. Women's cross country has won two years in a row. Men's basketball earned the honor for the second time, also in 2009.
"I'm proud to have three teams win top-10 awards again this year," said Mitch Barnhart, UK Director of Athletics. "Obviously, the teams have done their job in the classroom and I recognize Coach (John) Calipari, Coach (Edrick) Floréal and Coach (Brian) Craig for their success in managing their programs."
The Wildcat coaches were excited to hear the news about their teams' achievements.
"Our athletes continue to prioritize academic success, and this award highlights that," Floréal said. "Our CATS (Center for Academic and Tutorial Services) academic counselors, Passion Richardson and Mike Pirrman, have played a key role not just supporting and guiding our athletes, but preparing them for the NCAA model of going pro in something other than sports."
"This is a nice honor that is a direct reflection on our CATS center and our team's academic advisor, Amy Craiglow, along with the quality of the men we have in our program," Craig said. "I do not know of a better academic support program than CATS, or a better academic advisor/mentor than Amy Craiglow. They are just outstanding and tremendous assets for our team's student-athletes. Our guys also made a 3.3 GPA this spring semester and we are very proud of their work in the classroom."
"I'm proud of what has happened on the court with the Final Fours, national championship and league titles, but I'm just as proud of the commitment our young people make to academics," Calipari said. "To be honored in this way says a lot about their character and their drive to be lifetime learners. Congrats to Mike Stone and our academic support staff. They're the best in the business."
The APR scores of these teams, along with the scores of every Division I team in all sports, will be released by the NCAA later in May. Teams are subject to penalties if the APR target score is not achieved.
Wednesday's news is a continuation of the academic accomplishments of UK student-athletes. In October, it was announced that UK has broken or tied the NCAA Graduation Success Rate every year since the NCAA began measuring that statistic in 2005. UK athletes have posted an overall grade-point average over 3.0 in each of the last six semesters. On May 9, 62 student-athletes participated in graduation ceremonies, giving UK Athletics a total of 93 graduates for the 2014-15 school year.

About Me
Dancing and dancers provide interesting subjects; to catch the beauty of the dance, and the beauty of the movement, is a challenge. So far I have concentrated on shooting dancers, helped by the fact that my partner is a modern dance teacher.
I would like to broaden my scope and include model shoots and candid/street photography. Hopefully soon I will be able to show some of the results of my efforts in that direction.

Rumor: Uh Oh, Warner Brothers to Revive Teen Wolf?!
by Brandon Lee Tenney
June 19, 2009
Source: Moviehole
The rumor mill is a'spinnin' at full tilt today and we've got a hairy bit of speculation for you. The guys over at Moviehole are reporting that a remake/reboot of the 1985 classic (is it even a classic?) Teen Wolf is in early development. Yes, the story of the high schooler who makes friends and learns how to slam like Kobe after he discovers he's a werewolf (just like his father!) but ends up learning just who his friends really are is soon to be coming to theaters (again). Take note, though. By early development, they mean very, very early. Warner Bros. is currently shopping for a writer, but the studio isn't yet sure "which way [they want] to go."
Regardless of the direction, it's pretty likely we'll end up seeing a modern-day heartthrob (please not Robert Pattinson) deal with the logistics of massive body hair growth. The original starred the one and only Marty McFly - I mean, Michael J. Fox (though Teen Wolf did release the same year as Back to the Future, and only a little over a month apart!). And sure, no one's attached yet. Not to write, direct, or star - but what's the fun in that? Let's get to speculatin'. There are some easy choices here: Zac Efron, Shia LaBeouf. But how about making an awkward situation even more awkward with Michael Cera or even Christoper Mintz-Plasse.
And what if it's directed by Jon Favreau? Or written by the likes of Edgar Wright? Let's make this thing, if only through comments and in our minds. So who would you love to see be a part of this new Teen Wolf?

What's wrong with Justin Upton?
Not so long ago, Braves outfielder Justin Upton was the hottest hitter in baseball. But things have changed quite a bit in recent months.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Remember when Braves slugger Justin Upton was master of all that he surveyed?
Not so long ago -- as recently as May 1 -- Upton was pounding the ball to the extremes of .298/.400/.722 and was on pace for more than 50 homers. These days, Upton's slash line is a far more mortal .241/.351/.455. That's still productive (118 OPS+), but baked into those overall numbers are an otherworldly April and an abysmal May and June. The question is thus raised: What's happened to Upton?
To begin our probe of this issue, let's take a look at some of Upton's monthly splits for the season:
|Justin Upton's monthly splits, 2013
|BB/K ratio
|GB/FB ratio
|Data courtesy of FanGraphs
First, some quick notes on the possibly unfamiliar categories that you're seeing above ... BABIP is "batting average on balls in play," which measures what percentage of fair balls that aren't home runs go for hits. While hitters have a good bit of control over their BABIPs, there's still some luck involved. BB/K ratio is simply Upton's walks divided by his strikeouts. The higher the figure, the better for a hitter. It's a simple measure of plate discipline and command of the strike zone. GB/FB ratio is the hitter's ground balls divided by fly balls. And finally HR/FB% is the percentage of fly balls that go for homers. Again, a hitter has some control over this statistic, but wide swings can be the result of luck, bad or good.
Insofar as Upton in 2013 is concerned, the BABIP isn't too widely divergent, and the BB/K ratio is even more compressed. Mostly, it's a matter of fly balls and what Upton has been doing with them since April.
As you can see, Upton of late is hitting a much larger percentage of balls on the ground -- twice as much from April to May -- and the balls that he is lofting aren't leaving the park all that often. To be sure, Upton's April HR/FB of 38.7 percent was never close to sustainable (for instance, Barry Bonds in 2004, when he tallied 45 homers in just 373 at-bats, had a HR/FB of "just" 29.0 percent), but his May and June marks are well below his career HR/FB of 14.3 percent. On that front, Upton's probably having a bit of bad luck lately, just as he had a great deal of good luck in the first month of the season.
A perhaps greater concern is Upton's inconsistency when it comes to hitting the ball in the air. The major-leaguer average ground-ball percentage is typically around 44, and Upton is at his best when he's well below that mark, as he was in 2011, when he finished fourth in the NL MVP balloting. His career numbers suggest that he'll once again start driving the ball, but those same career numbers suggest it's anyone's guess as to when that will happen.
Another factor -- and one perhaps underlying what we've just discussed -- is that Upton has lately been struggling badly against same-side pitching. In April, Upton batted a robust .313/.382/.716 against right-handers. Since then, though, he's batted just .198/.291/.252 against righties while maintaining a quality .244/.415/.463 slash line against lefties. To boot, Upton faced a higher percentage of right-handers from May through June than he did in April. That didn't help matters. For what it's worth, Upton for his career owns a career line of .272/.343/.458 versus right-handers. While April's success in platoon-disadvantaged situations was clearly fluke, so, too, have been the struggles since.
The upshot is that Upton will probably soon find a middle ground. He's not going to hit such a high rate of fly balls out of the park and abuse right-handers like he did in April, at least over a large sample. At the same time, he's not going to put half his batted balls on the ground and slug under .300 against right-handers, as he's done in May and June. Getting past his recent hand injury will also aid his cause. Soon enough, Upton's going to settle into what he has long been: a plus hitter with lots of power and some platoon issues.
On that point, the Steamer projection system available at FanGraphs tabs Upton for a batting line of .276/.364/.492 with 15 homers over the balance of the 2013 season. Given what we know about his tendencies and body of work, that strikes me as a very reasonable estimation.
Braves fans should know that, in terms of the recent past, Upton's better than this, but he's not as good as his fiery start to 2013.

Runners in Iten always have someone faster to chase, but you can replicate the effort even if you're training alone. Start an interval workout at a pace more ambitious than you can normally sustain—up to five percent faster—and pick a threshold that's two percent slower than your target as your stop signal. Do as many repeats as possible at your target pace, and once you slow to your stop-signal threshold, stop. If you're doing intervals of 400 meters or less and miss your goal due to a pacing error rather than fatigue, you can take one more crack. Otherwise, one strike and you're out. (If you try to stagger through progressively slower intervals, you'll dig yourself into a recovery hole that will take too long to emerge from.)
It's hard to adjust to not knowing how long a workout will last. Conventional training teaches us to ration our energy evenly over a given distance, but that doesn't work here, which is why crash-and-burn sessions are such a useful stimulus. They simulate the demands of racing a competitor who suddenly surges ahead. You don't know how long the surge will last, but if you want to win, you have to follow and hang on. As you complete your efforts, don't think ahead—you'll be tempted to start conserving your energy. Consider each repeat a separate battle that could be your last. As you fatigue, break the effort into halves or quarters and think only about successfully completing the current segment.
Crashing and burning doesn't literally mean running yourself into ruin. If you're careful to follow the Kenyan example and pull the chute when you can no longer maintain the pace, you should recover about as quickly as you would from any other hard interval session. That said, limit these workouts to once or twice a month. The mental strength you'll gain from these runs is invaluable, but useless without the good pace sense developed in traditional interval training. Mix up your workouts to master both skills.

Top 10 Karaoke Songs
The best karaoke songs give us a chance to show off our vocal prowess and be the star we always knew we could be. Picking the perfect song is crucial. To impress friends and coworkers — or even just strangers at the bar — it must be not only be fun (and singable) for you, but also enjoyable for the audience.
If they're singing along by the second chorus, you've made a good choice. To help ensure you're never without a crowd-pleaser up your sleeve, we've put together a list of 10 karaoke songs we think are sure to knock 'em dead.
Dixie Chicks – 'Wide Open Spaces'
If you were a female between the ages of 10 and 39 in the late 90s, you may have reached for this track once or twice already. 'Wide Open Spaces' is a charming, youthful story of a girl striking out on her own into an unknown future. Boasting a melody of only moderate difficulty, but still featuring a few opportunities for applause, the tune is an excellent choice in for an enjoyable karaoke experience for both the singer and the audience.
Zac Brown Band – 'Chicken Fried'
This song is well-suited for summer nights — no worries, no problems — just good times and good friends. 'Chicken Fried' is perfect for a group performance, so feel free to bring as many people to the stage as the venue will allow. Toes will be tapping in no time.
Miranda Lambert – 'Gunpowder and Lead'
Miranda Lambert's third single from her album 'Crazy Ex Girlfriend' is a fun but vengeful country-rock tune that tells the tale of what happens when you cross the wrong woman. 'Gunpowder and Lead' is a great karaoke choice at the end of a long week to blow off some steam with friends — and maybe give your new beau a subtle warning.
Sugarland – 'Stay'
A stripped-down emotional ballad, 'Stay' is the song to choose for karaoke if you want to sing something you can pour your heart into. Nearly every country fan knows Sugarland's signature hit, making it an instant crowd favorite, and if you give it all you've got, you might not leave a dry eye in the house.
George Strait – 'Amarillo By Morning'
This classic tune is a solid choice if you're more of an old school country fan. If you're looking for a laid back, timeless song to perform, George Strait's 'Amarillo By Morning' is perfect. To really sell the performance, be sure to wear your cowboy hat.
Lady Antebellum – 'Need You Know'
One of the more somber choices in our list of karaoke go-tos, this Lady A duet brings a vulnerable side to the stage, for those wanting to show off their vocal chops and deliver a more moving performance. Grab a member of the opposite sex, hand them a mic and sing it like you mean it.
Carrie Underwood – 'Before He Cheats'
What woman hasn't wanted to be Carrie Underwood at one time or another? Belting out 'Before He Cheats' is the perfect opportunity to live that dream. Put on your attitude, grab a mic and get out all that pent up anger over your ex. This one's guaranteed to get some crowd participation from the women in the audience and leave them wanting more.
Taylor Swift – 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'
What's better than belting Taylor Swift songs with your girlfriends on a night out? 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' is an anthem for women tired of being in a bipolar relationship. This song is always fun to sing and sure to draw some crowd participation. BYO sass.
Deana Carter – 'Strawberry Wine'
If you're looking for a sentimental ballad to pull out when it's your turn on stage, you can't do much better than 'Strawberry Wine.' The idyllic song paints a picture of the adolescent summer most of us wish we had, but didn't. Whimsical and nostalgic with a touch of sadness, this 90s country staple is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. You may even see some lighters in the air.
Garth Brooks – 'Friends in Low Places'
A classic sing-along in bars and backyards across the south, 'Friends in Low Places' always gets a crowd going. It's the ultimate track to choose when out with the guys — no frills, no fuss, just a rugged, down-home Garth tune. When the whole place joins in on belting the word 'oasis,' you'll know you've picked the best song for karaoke.

Target: Missouri Rep. Stacey Newman
Goal: Praise attempt to force lawmakers to either pass restrictions on gun purchases or end restrictions on abortion access.
A legislator is making a point about the fact that it's easier to get a gun than an abortion in Missouri by introducing a bill that would force people to wait 72 hours before being able to purchase a firearm, among other restrictions. In Missouri, there's a 72-hour waiting period for any person who wants to get an abortion. Rep. Stacey Newman thinks that guns should be treated as a public health issue, so anyone who wants to buy one should also have to spend three days thinking about it.
"If we truly insist that Missouri cares about 'all life,' then we must take immediate steps to address our major cities' rising rates of gun violence," said Newman. Conservatives often tout the "sanctity of life" when talking about reproductive choice, but seem to forget about this idea when the issue of gun control comes up. This bill cleverly points out the hypocrisy of caring more about the health and safety of an embryo or fetus than that of every fully developed and born person in the U.S.
This bill would also force every person who wants to purchase a gun to speak with a doctor about the health risks of gun ownership and tour a hospital trauma center so that they can observe the consequences of gun violence. People will also have to travel at least 120 miles to legally obtain a firearm.
Whether or not this bill is passed, it makes an important point about the disconnect in the supposed morals touted by U.S. conservatives. Sign to praise this clever call-out bill crafted and put forward by Rep. Newman.
Dear Ms. Newman,
I understand that you recently introduced a bill that would implement the same kind of restrictions on access to firearms that are currently in place for access to abortions in the state of Missouri. I want to thank you for your dedication to both gun safety and to reproductive rights. This bill sends a clear message about the hypocrisy of forcing people to travel long distances and wait three days to get an abortion when they don't have to do the same for a gun.
As restrictions on abortions keep getting tighter and those for gun purchases keep getting looser, more and more people are dying from mass shootings as well as pregnancy complications and injury from attempted self-abortions. This makes the entire "pro-life" position of the conservative politicians who agree with these policies not only nonsensical, but extremely dangerous.
The U.S. needs more legislators like you who aren't afraid to stand up to deadly hypocrisy. Thank you again for taking the time to bring people's attention to these public health issues and discrepancies in personal rights.
[Your Name Here]

Plans to build a 25-megawatt wind farm off Atlantic City are now on hold after the state's Board of Public Utilities declined to approve the latest proposal.
The wind farm project, which would install six turbines 2.8 miles off the coast of Atlantic City, would be the first along the East Coast and would produce enough electricity to power 10,000 homes.
The project has all its permits and surveys, but financing has remained an issue. Recently, the developer had reached an agreement with the state's Office of Rate Counsel to reduce its project costs from $200 million to $164 million, while also offering additional savings in renewable energy credits totaling $50 million, according to New Jersey Sierra Club director Jeff Tittel.
Tittel said one of the BPU's main objections was a provision that if federal grants didn't materialize and the project failed, New Jersey would pay Fishermen's Energy more than $19 million.
BPU spokesman John Reinert said some of the project's costs are still at issue, but declined to release details, saying the case is still pending.
The BPU's vote Friday was in line with a deputy Attorney General's opinion that "some aspects were not consistent with the state's Offshore Wind Economic Act," Reinert said.
The project's cost is also an issue for Atlantic City Electric, although the utility has been supportive of the project, said Lendel Jones, an ACE spokeswoman.
"Our concern is that we want to make sure the cost is spread out equally across everyone, not just those closest to the project in New Jersey," Jones said.
Fishermen's Energy LLC, of Cape May, issued a statement Friday stating they were "disappointed" with the BPU's decision and they would continue to work with the agency on a solution. They now hope to start construction by fall 2015.
"This entire matter centers on a cost to a typical residential customer that is less than a cup of coffee each year," CEO Chris Wissemann said. "There are few industries that can be attracted to New Jersey for such a low price tag, much less one that has been proven to show that benefits exceed costs."
Fishermen's Energy received $4 million in federal grants in December, and if the company spends $10 million of their own money before the end of the year, it could receive up to an additional $100 million in federal funds.
"We are troubled with how the BPU is handling the project, not the project itself," Tittel said, adding the project would bring thousands of jobs in addition to the environmental benefits of the clean-energy production.
Douglas O'Malley, interim director of the advocacy group Environment New Jersey, said it was a foolish decision on the part of BPU to halt the project.
O'Malley said the start-up cost for the construction will pay for itself in years to come.
The project's location offshore of Atlantic City is ideal compared to the rest of the shore, because it has the best wind speeds and is not in the midst of major shipping channels, O'Malley said.

Talk:Dream Cycle
|WikiProject Science Fiction
|(Rated Start-class)
|WikiProject Novels
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
Requested move[edit]
H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle → Dream Cycle – In the interest of making titles as short as possible (and to remove superfluous information), "Dream Cycle" would seem the logical name for this article.
,-~R'lyehRising~-, 22:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~
- Comment. The term "sleep-dream cycle" (sometimes "dream cycle") is used by psychologists, e.g. Muzio, J N., and Dement, WC, "Ontogenetic Development of the Human Sleep-Dream Cycle," 1966. Science, 152, 604—609, and will likely have its own Wikipedia page at some point. We may want to think about it now to avoid problems down the road. Ahasuerus 22:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose if such an article were created it would probably go by the title "Sleep-dream Cycle"; in which case, a hatnote could simply be placed at the top of this article ("Dream Cycle"?) that reads something like: This article is about H. P. Lovecraft's story cycle. For the term in psychology, see Sleep-dream Cycle.
The alternatives might be to make "Dream Cycle" into a dab pg (which I think adds an unnecessary layer of disambiguation), have "Dream Cycle" be the main article for "Sleep-dream Cycle" (prefaced with a hatnote back to here), or have "Dream Cycle" redirect to "Sleep-dream Cycle" (and be prefaced with a hatnote worded similar to {{Redirect}}).
(BTW: In any event, I'm a proponent of "first-come first-served"; thus, since this article was created first, I would like to think it has dibs on the title.)
,-~R'lyehRising~-, 01:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose if such an article were created it would probably go by the title "Sleep-dream Cycle"; in which case, a hatnote could simply be placed at the top of this article ("Dream Cycle"?) that reads something like: This article is about H. P. Lovecraft's story cycle. For the term in psychology, see Sleep-dream Cycle.
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Odds and ends[edit]
Is there a specific order in which the Dream Cycle works should be read? If so, it should probably be listed on the page.
- If I remember correctly, there are some contradictions between some of the stories. --Tydaj 01:24, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
A progressive band Payne's Gray has recorded a concept album called Kadath Decoded that dwells on these themes.
Weasel words[edit]
While I do not dispute the accuracy of this article, I am uncomfortable by its use of so-called weasel words. What it really needs are some verifiable sources.
Also, in the intro the phrase "master of the macabre" looks awkward. Is this an offical quote (in which case a citation is needed) or was it an editor's attempt to put a positive spin on Lovecraft (in which case it might potentially violate neutral point of view and no original research)?
,-~R'lyehRising~-, 23:25, 26 April 2006 (UTC) sorry to sound preachy
- The expression "master of the macabre" is used on the dustjackets of his recent collections, on the Random House website and by various reviewers. I am not sure who used it to describe Lovecraft first, though. Ahasuerus 00:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the references. I added the Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos cover blurb as a verifiable source (it's right there on the back cover of my copy).
,-~R'lyehRising~-, 01:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Postscript and update. It is likely that August Derleth was one of the first to describe Lovecraft using this appellation. Case in point, his essay about Lovecraft: "A Master of the Macabre", published in August 1937.
_,-~R'lyehRising~-,_ 04:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the references. I added the Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos cover blurb as a verifiable source (it's right there on the back cover of my copy).
- I noticed that an anonymous user removed the {{weasel}} template after making a minor change. However, this still does not change the fact that the article fails to supply secondary sources to support many of the assertions it makes.
,-~R'lyehRising~-, 02:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
The White Ship[edit]
Since the Dream Cycle includes those stories of Lovecrafts that take place in the land of dreams, wouldn't The White Ship fall into here as well? Or is there someplace where the stories are divided cannonically that I could check? And what about The Quest of Iranon? 126.96.36.199 22:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- And Memory?--Sorensen ru (talk) 15:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Discrepancy in list of works?[edit]
I've stumbled across a discrepancy between this page and Dreams of Terror and Death: The Dream Cycle of H. P. Lovecraft. That anthology is supposed to be the entire Dream Cycle collected, but contains many stories not included on this page, and omits a few as well.
I'm something of a Lovecraft newbie myself (I'm becoming interested in Lovecraft as a fan of Howard), so maybe the level of correctness between these two sources is clearer to others, who might edit this page or add a note or something. --Daeval (talk) 21:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Charles Dexter Ward[edit]
The case of Charles Dexter Ward has nothing to do with the Dream Cycle... Why is it included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- If I had to take a stab in the dark guess, I say it was included because of Randolph Carter. The Dream Cycle and the Randolph Carter Cycle are certainly intertwined, but I agree that The Case of Charles Dexter Ward shouldn't be anymore included in the Dream Cycle than any other general Mythos story. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- The correct answer (as opposed to indulgence in speculation) is that the list of stories was haphazardly added to the article as a list of the contents of Dreams of Terror and Death, not as a list of Dream Cycle stories. Despite its title, Dreams of Terror and Death does not anthologize only Dream Cycle stories. There simply aren't enough Dream Cycle stories to fill a book this size (Dreams of Terror and Death is one of the oversized paperback Del Ray anthologies, about eight by nine inches by an inch and a half thick if memory serves), and about half of the stories included are not part of the Dream Cycle. That said, I don't see the need to include a listing of the book's contents since much of it is irrelevant to this article, and because the list has been added in such a way as to mislead readers into thinking that it is a list of Dream Cycle stories when it is not. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:30, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

So Jen and I were trying to figure out what our next scrappy project would be. We'd finished the anniversary album, spent weeks making all the cards we'll need until next year, created all sorts of fun homemade embellishments...so what to do next? Then one evening I was doing a bit of blog surfing and stopped to have a look at the blog of the very talented Christine Middlecamp...and I was thrilled to discover that we could take these Martha Stewart doily tags...
...and with a bit of paper, ribbon, and various odds and ends from our stashes could turn them into a beautiful work of art such as Christine Middlecamp did, which you can see here.
Christine prepared an awesome sixteen part tutorial which takes us step by step through the creation process of each of these wonderful embellished doilies. You can find the whole tutorial here.
As soon as I laid my eyes on this very unique piece of art I knew it was the perfect project for Jen and I to tackle over the next couple of months. We've purchased our paper doilies and window boxes and have started to gather our supplies. We are trying our best to use what we already have in our stashes to duplicate what Christine has done. We've also decided to stick pretty close to the original colour scheme. We figure if we start changing things up and making substitutions we'll probably end up with 16 doilies that really don't look very good together!
So thank you to Christine for creating such a wonderful thing and for sharing her ideas in her tutorial. We can't wait to get started! You'll be hearing lots more about our Embellished Paper Doilies in the weeks to come...
Until next time...
Susan :-)

Beresford, who played a key role for Australia at the World Baseball Classic Qualifier in Sydney in February, plied his trade for 11 years in the minor league since signing with the Twins in 2005.
"It's absolutely outstanding news and I can't think of a more deserving guy to get the call than James," team Australia manager Jon Deeble said.
"James never got discouraged throughout his time in the minors, and I couldn't be prouder."
The 27-year-old infielder becomes the 33rd Australian to make a Major League Baseball roster.
Countrymen Peter Moylan, Warwick Saupold and Liam Hendriks have played in America's top baseball league this season.
