Problem installing Crashplan in Slacko 5.3.3
I have never had any problems installing Crashplan in Lucid 5.2.8 or even Saluki, but for some reason, I can't in Slacko. Any idea why? This is what I get:
CrasCrashPlan_3.4.1.cpi install.defaults README
EULA.txt install.sh scripts
INSTALL jre1.6.0_25_i586.tgz uninstall.sh
# ./install.sh
./install.sh: line 27: who: command not found

It would appear you need the coreutils pkg. If no:
which who
.. install via PPM..

I will see if it is in the Slako repos and install it. I never heard of this utility before. That's what I love about Linux. You never stop learning.

I installed coreutils 6.9-7-p4, restarted X and tried to install Crashplan again with the same error. Any ideas?

I gather you didn't install
coreutils from PPM
? Perhaps there's an even later build- the one for Slack 14?

I installed it from the Slacko PPM but I will see if there is another version out there I can install. Thanks for getting back to me!!
Quick question, do I have to keep all the files that are in my .packages folder or can I move them outside of my root folder to free up space in my save file?

Rt-clk that directory and goto props.. they shouldn't amount to much-
I think they're there for uninstall information..
and not that PPM ever removes everything anyway..
In other words.. if you don't mind manual removal-
In my opinion-
I couldn't bother..

The version of coreutils that you installed via the PPM, coreutils 6.9-7-p4, (probably from the puppy-common repository) was likely the best choice available, but that version doesn't contain the "who" utility. So why do I say it was the best choice? It was the best choice because it did no damage. In fact, it is the same package that comes already installed on Slacko 5.3.3. It didn't solve your problem, but it didn't create new ones.
The Puppy Package Manager's ability to install packages from the repositories of other distros has certainly given us added flexibility and power. It is a great to have this ability available. But, as is the case in any field, added power doesn't come without added danger, and the need for added caution.
While there is, of course, some potential danger in installing
package (which is why it is good to have a recent backup of one's save file handy), extra caution is merited when considering installing a package from a non-Puppy repository if a Puppy version of that package is already installed on Puppy. The existing Puppy version may have been specially modified to work with Puppy, while the package from the other distro's repository has not.
Such is the case with coreutils.
For instance, back in 2006 Barry wrote a utility called "truncate", which is used to truncate the length of a file. A couple of years later (on 2008-Oct-10), the GNU folks released coreutils 7.0 which, among other things, added a new utility which can also be used for truncating a file. Guess what they called it? Yes, they called it "truncate".
So if you install a recent version of a non-Puppyized coreutils package, the new GNU truncate will be installed to /bin/ or /usr/bin/ (depending on the distro it was built for). If it is installed to /usr/bin/, it overwrites Barry's version. If it is installed to /bin/, it doesn't overwrite Barry's version, which is in /usr/bin/, but because /bin/ comes before /usr/bin/ in $PATH, the GNU version will be run when truncate is called (unless the full "/usr/bin/truncate" pathname is used).
Barry's truncate is used by his pet2tgz script, which is used by the package manager (PPM). And while the new GNU truncate is similar, the arguments need to be passed differently, so it is incompatible with Puppy scripts. What this means is that if you install a recent version of coreutils from a non-Puppy repository, you will likely loose the ability to install .pet packages with the PPM (until you remove the offending truncate).
There is at least one other compatibility issue that I am aware of. Some Puppies (including your Slacko 5.3.3) have both a Barry script called "df" and a binary called "df-FULL". The binary is the GNU utility which has been renamed from "df", and the script calls the GNU utility and massages its output to be compatible with other Puppy scripts. If Barry's script isn't found, the device mounted on / will be incorrectly identified for folks with full installs of Puppy.
And if you go too far afield, you can run into dependency problems. I once mistakenly installed a coreutils package on Slacko that I had previously downloaded sometime. It wasn't from either a Puppy repository or a Slackware repository, so it is no surprise that it caused problems. (I think it was built for Debian.) Many of its utilities had been compiled with a library that Slacko doesn't have. (I think it was libselinux.) Not only did those utilities not work, but, of course, everything that depended on them -- including ROX-Filer and the PPM -- had problems. The only way I could recover was to use /initrd/pup_ro2/bin/cp to copy itself and the other utilities to /bin/.
Of course that mistake was simply a result of my own foolishness. I would not expect a dependency problem if you grabbed coreutils from a Slackware 13 repository for Slacko.
Anyway, since you only need the "who" utility, I would recommend installing only that. To save you the trouble of finding an appropriate coreutils package for Slacko, and extracting the "who" utility from it, I have attached a version of "who" that works with Slacko 5.3.3. Choose to open it with pupzip, decompress it, set the executable permissions with chmod or ROX-Filer, then move it to /usr/bin/.
Good luck.

On This Day in MMA History: A Main Event Falls Apart, And the UFC Does the Unthinkable
(Don't cry, son. This little guy is in MMA poster heaven now, just as happy as can be.)
"On This Day in MMA History" pays tribute to some of the more bizarre and infamous news stories of MMA's past. The following article was originally published on August 23rd, 2012, one year ago today. We've placed some related links at the end of this post, to give you a sense of the wide-ranging aftermath of this "sport-killing" moment.
BREAKING: UFC 151 *Canceled* After Dan Henderson Pulls Out With Knee Injury; Jones Turns Down Sonnen, Dana White Incredibly Pissed Off
The rumors were true — and even worse than we thought. Due to a knee injury suffered in training, Dan Henderson has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled light-heavyweight title fight against Jon Jones at UFC 151, and because the UFC couldn't find a suitable main event replacement, the UFC is canceling an event for the first time in the Zuffa era. Dana White confirmed the news in a press conference held earlier today — describing the cancellation as "probably one of my all-time lows as being president of the UFC" — and he made no attempt to hide his heated emotions during the call. Here are the brass tacks…
- Henderson suffered a partial tear in his MCL during training, which was serious enough to keep him from competing.
- According to Dana White, Chael Sonnen immediately jumped up to take the fight ("I'll fly to Vegas tonight and fight him," White quoted Sonnen as saying), and the UFC immediately began preparing behind-the-scenes to promote Jones vs. Sonnen on eight days' notice. But Jon Jones turned down the matchup, refusing to fight Sonnen on short notice.
- White is extremely upset that Jones, a UFC champion and pound-for-pound candidate, would turn down a fight that would save an event. Even Tito Ortiz never pulled this shit, he pointed out. White lambasted the idea that Jones would turn this fight down for business reasons. "If he was a businessman, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now," he said. White agreed that his relationship with Jones would change "a lot" after this: "Me and Lorenzo are both disgusted." Later in the call, White pointed out how Jones turning down the fight now screws all the supporting-card fighters out of paychecks.Read More DIGG THIS

NORTHPORT | When Seth Franks arrived at a new school to play football, he had to learn a different offense along with different terminology. But he knows that the demands of his position remain the same.
NORTHPORT | When Seth Franks arrived at a new school to play football, he had to learn a different offense along with different terminology. But he knows that the demands of his position remain the same.
Franks, a former starting quarterback at Brookwood, expects to be a leader as he begins his junior season at Tuscaloosa County.
"First of all, learning the new system has been easy for me with Coach (David) James and Coach (Price) Thompson," Franks said. "This year we're expecting to do a lot on offense."
James coaches the quarterbacks, including Justin Hall and Steven Dover. Thompson is the offensive coordinator.
The Wildcats went 9-3 last year and reached the second round of the Class 6A playoffs with Tyler Gates as a senior quarterback. Two of the wins were by 3-0 margins.
Franks will probably start Friday when TCHS opens at home against Mountain Brook, but head coach Lee Gibson let Franks know that he had to earn it.
"Ever since I first got here, Coach Gibson said it wasn't going to be given to me, so I came out here competing every day," Franks said. "I think that got me the respect of the team.
"The thing that helps me out the most is probably reading defenses. Picking up defenses really helps me a lot on plays because I know where the holes are going to be.
"The biggest difference to me is probably the speed. In 5A, you have some pretty fast teams, but in 6A pretty much every team's going to have a lot of speed, especially in the secondary."
Gibson said Franks had a chance to work with the receivers during the summer.
"He's got a good arm, and he wants to learn the game," Gibson said. "Most of our quarterbacks in the past have been that way.
"The thing I like about him is he's not afraid of competition. Justin and Steven are still pushing him, and he steps up to that every day. I've seen him grow and have a more commanding presence in our offense. If he continues to do that, he should be a good leader for us."
Franks said he chose to transfer because of a "family decision." His sister, 5-year-old Grace, will attend Northport Elementary. Franks is already familiar with one of his receivers. His older brother, Caleb, is a senior.
"We just felt like it would help my brother out in the long run and help me out in the long run," Seth said. "I think I'm really going to love this season. We've got great receivers. We've got great running backs, too. They work hard every day. They really expect us to throw the ball well this year."
Caleb said he wants his last season with Seth to be something special.
"He has everything that you would look for in a quarterback," Caleb said. "He has the arm. He has the smarts to go through his progression, find the open guy and if it's not there he has the pocket presence to do what's necessary to keep a play alive.
"It means the world to me. We always grew up playing together. This being our last year, it's kind of meaningful to me. Hopefully, it'll be a good one."

If You're Taking Away Features From Users, Don't Tell Them It's For Their Own Benefit
from the that's-called-lying dept
The latest example is online music streaming site imeem. The company has struggled of late under absolutely draconian terms forced on it by the record labels. Rumors held that the company came close to going out of business until Warner Music agreed to renegotiate its suffocating deal. Still, there are many who question how the company can survive without a drastic change in business models. But, taking away features from customers with little warning and pretending it's a good thing isn't exactly the best way to go about things. Clay Shirky points us to the news that imeem is removing features for users to upload videos or pictures without even offering a "download to save" option. But, even worse, the blog post announcing the change tries to play this up as good news again, saying that it's all about "simplifying imeem" as part of an effort to enhance the site.
Sure, simplifying a site can be a good thing -- but unilaterally removing features that people use, with little warning, isn't really simplifying. You can simplify without removing features. If you have to remove features, for whatever reason, why not at least admit the truth: it's not for consumer's benefit, but for some other reason, and you realize it sucks for many users.
In other words, sound human, rather acting like your users are morons. If you want to see a company that's actually done a good job of this, look at Hulu. While we think it's ridiculous that the company caved in to content providers and tried (and failed) to block a specific browser (Boxee) from viewing its content, at least Hulu's CEO was upfront and honest about the fact that it sucked:
The maddening part of writing this blog entry is that we realize that there is no immediate win here for users. Please know that we take very seriously our role of representing users such that we are able to provide more and more content in more and more ways over time. We embrace this activity in ways that respect content owners' -- and even the entire industry's -- challenges to create great content that users love. Yes, it's a complex matter. A tough mission, and a never-ending one, but one we are passionately committed to.eMusic, imeem and others would be wise to take note. Taking features away and pretending your customers are stupid enough to believe it's for their benefit isn't likely to fly.
For those Boxee users reading this post, we understand and appreciate that you're likely to tell us that we're nuts. Please know that we do share the same interests and won't stop innovating in support of the bigger mission.

Re: Secret Perl Operators: the boolean list squash operator, x!!by eyepopslikeamosquito (Chancellor)
|on Jul 31, 2006 at 21:40 UTC ( #564877=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
I remember this trick being employed in early golf games, though it was never given a name to the best of my knowledge. Searching the secret Terje/mtv pdf book of Perl Golf reveals five uses of this secret operator:
08-jun-2002: Piers Cawley, section 4.5, TPR(0,4) Interlinear Counts
19-jul-2002: Ton Hospel, section 3.11, Terje's Cryptoanalysis
17-jan-2003: Ton Hospel, section 5.20, LED Display
23-may-2003: Michal Jankowski, section 8.13, DEKODER
16-sep-2003: Mtv Europe, section 6.9, Huffman Codes
Update: It was also used by Ton Hospel and Mtv Europe in May 2003 to produce the shortest known Perl solution to 99 bottles of beer:
Notice that in golf, and different from Aristotle's example, the x!! secret operator is most commonly used in scalar context -- in the 99 bottles of beer example, it's used to generate either "s" or "", thus forming either "bottles" or "bottle". Sometimes golfers rely on the ! operator returning "" (and not 0) for false. AFAICT, this behaviour is not guaranteed anywhere in the official Perl docs, though it's mentioned in the Camel, in the "Ideographic Unary Operators" section, page 92:
Unary ! performs logical negation, that is, "not". See not for a lower precedence version of logical negation. The value of a negated operand is true (1) if the operand is false (numeric 0, string "0", the null string, or undefined) and false ("") if the operand is true.

Dear Diary, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and LOVE the BOMB
Dear Diary, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and LOVE the BOMB
Where on the internet can someone say…
Aren't we here to have fun? Isn't it more fun to invest internet cache in a prophecy and see if you're right? It's a simple social contract: pick a side and to the victors go the spoils while the losers eat crow.
..and then uses their self-granted rhetorical leeway to make completely data-driven conclusions? In the MGoDiaries, this happens. MCalibur made his glorious return to the diaries to back up his man Ron Utah. Together they make some interesting studies for prognosticating Devin Gardner this year and beyond.
M's method is to look at things like completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown % and interception % on a scale of passer ratings. So like if you take Denard his passer rating was 149, but for a 149 kinda guy he had standard accuracy, an extra half a yard per play, a slightly lower TD% and had way more interceptions.
So now apply that to Devin's five games last year and you get a yards and TD machine who gets his one WTF interception per game down to 0.8 WTF interceptions per game. You know, like a 5-star entering his redshirt junior season.
Also love this line:
sometimes when you suck, you really really suck and your foes all go hyuk 'cause they hate you
And the Ron Utah thing MCalibur brought up? What that does is look at Borges's last QB at SDSU to extrapolate Gardner's five-game stats into a more throweriffic offense. He winds up with 3600 yards, 33 TDs and 15 INTs on just 28 attempts per game. That's…well that sounds crazy. That's more yards than Navarre or Henne ever threw. That's at least one interception per game. That's a lot of passes over 20 yards. That's…
…a pretty good lead-in to Ron Utah's other diary this week, titled Who is Al Borges Part I? Now that we're transitioning to the Full Borges offense Ron is taking us on a tour of Borgesian offenses past. Round 1 goes through early UCLA. Of note: his run-pass ratio varied between 42% run and 61% run, but he never had less than 60% of his yards come from passing. That's a mark of the run setting up the other. Ron is your diarist of the week.
Talk to the Hand. Brian's linked to it in like four recruiting posts already but if you care about Da'Shawn Hand or anything you should read this first-hand account from a guy who went with Hand on his OSU trip (for The Game) and on his ensuing Michigan trip. Canzior had trouble posting his photos from Dropbox so I've uploaded them here; click on the pics to get a full-size version:
Items of interest:
- Hand is a great kid
- Urban was approached by Brandon for the Michigan job in 2011 but it got no further than interest gauged (this we kinda figured)
- Hand was turned off by the OSU players, not so much the coaches. Not in a "they're dicks" sort of way, but didn't click with them.
- Hand drove home from that visit with The Victors on repeat in the car.
- Mattison used the Ray Lewis pitch.
- Mattison knows Rihanna songs.
- Michigan's recruiting presentation is very geared toward academics

Almost half of the world's smartphones are running Android, according to a new report.
After conducting a study of the global smartphone marketplace, research firm Canalys presented their findings this week — and things look good for the Google platform. When all was said and done, 48 percent of the market belongs to Android.
Unsurprisingly, Apple's iOS came in a distant second with 19 percent of the market (overtaking Nokia's Symbian platform), though the iPhone manufacturer ranked as the top smartphone vendor in the world.
The report went on to indicate that the disparity between Google and Apple in the smartphone platform market is primarily a result of Android's availability on products from many of the major smartphone manufacturers, while Apple's platform is an iPhone-only offering. Major handset producers like Samsung, HTC, and Motorola all offer strong support for Android-enabled smartphones.
When the results were broken down by region, the Asia-Pacific market was weighted heavily in favor of Google's Android system. In South Korea, 85 percent of the country's smartphones run Android. Taiwan boasts a similar, Android-heavy marketplace with 71 percent of the smartphones favoring the Google platform.
Of the 56 nations that factored into the firm's research, Android was the dominant platform in 35 of them.
After Google and Apple, mainstays like Blackberry-friendly platform RIM (which was the dominant platform in Latin America) filled out the rest of the market, though it's worth noting that products running Microsoft's Windows Phone platform accounted for just 1 percent of the global market.
Apple loyalists take note, however: the divide between Google and Apple in the U.S. is much narrower. According to recent studies, Android holds 39 percent of the American smartphone marketplace, with iOS following close behind at 28 percent.
Along with all of the platform data, the report also found that the global smartphone market is on the rise, with a 73-percent jump from last year.

Shakira RESTYLE
Added Feb 22, 2010
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
The beauty of making clothes is that a pattern is a block of myriad possibilities. There is so much potential locked in these patterns, we are excited to show you a new way to look at them. Interspersed with our new patterns, we will be showing you RESTYLED patterns from the past. Today we kick it off with the restyled Shakira dress.
Shakira was our first ever plus-size pattern. We've gone back into the vaults to give this old pattern a bold new look with contemporary revisions. Available in sizes 46-60, the simple tunic-like shape makes this a versatile pattern for alterations- envision it shortened to the length of a shirt, or make an apron with the pattern pieces like one of our users has done. We removed the sleeves all together, shortened the length and cinched the waist for a fresh look.
Check out the video for a behind the scenes look!

I'm having a hard time finding your plus sized patterns on this site, and while the fashion industry considers 10/12 a plus, most of us don't and neither does the sewing pattern industry.
I would never buy this pattern because this isn't an accurate representation of the dress in a plus size.
It looks great and so does Alden, but I'm not seeing the dress as I need to.

Check your measurements against the size chart – that will help you out.
Feb 25, 2010, 12.35 PMby quiltingmick
I'm confused – where are the instructions to make this restyled version? The link from the front page only goes to the old instructions for Shakira.
The new Shakira looks great, but it would be more interesting (and useful) to see it on a larger model. Sorry Arden – you're absolutely gorgeous – but size 10 is only plus size in fashion-land, not real-life-land.

Ah – I think I see wherer the changesinstructions arenow – they include info for a belt with hooks and eyes?
Mar 1, 2010, 03.38 PMby burdastyle
The original Shakira dress instructions were modified to show you how to make the dress with and without sleeves (Step 9). The belt is a styling piece, it is not part of the dress actually, we got it at H&M.

I love the fabric used here and it looks so superb! Fantastic remake! Reminds me so much of great and colorful 1960 style. Fun and fabulous dress!
Feb 24, 2010, 11.20 AMby miss-g
I like the remake. I think I like it better than the original. Alden – you look gorgeous as ever and I still can't believe you are a plus size!
Feb 24, 2010, 04.48 AMby bubbley74
Sorry but I have to agree with castargazer (1st post,)If you are going to show us a plus size at least use a plus size model.If only you knew how disheartening It is to see something you can actually make in your size,for it to turn out to be a totally different dress on your self. How about hiring a big lady to advise on the image we see and the image you see when we are looking at the same pattern, maybe worth thinking about seeing as the avrege size where I live U. K. is size 16/18.
Feb 24, 2010, 12.38 AMby castargazer
Jeez – this model is just HUGE – what is she, like a size 10 or 12? Maybe your staff hasn't noticed but the average American woman is between a size 14 to 16, with a whole lot of women weighing in at, or above, a size 20. If I were to buy this pattern to make for my daughter [about a size 20 to 22] she'd be in tears for hours and then she'd get mad…because the image in the mirror bears no resemblance to the image you show. Can't you at least use "plus size" models who are size 18…using size 20 to 22 would be better. The plus size customer KNOWS they are not going to look slim and svelte with flat tummy, but at least if the model is TRULY plus sized, they will have some sort of idea of how the dress will look on. This is why I no longer sew for clients – even slim clients don't look like the size 0 model pictured on patterns.

hey Castargazer,
plus models start at size 10/12 which is exactly what i am, just like "regular" models are a 2/4 pluses are on the smaller end of plus. We use people from the team as models, I am the community manager here and have been the plus model for a year or so. This dress looks amazing on all sizes, check out what our other members have done with it!

Wow Alden you are so PRETTY!!! I never knew!! Your slim and so beautiful! Good job of modeling this! I love the dress and the tights but Im not a huge fan of the belt though. Still good job to whoever did this revamp its awesome!!
Feb 23, 2010, 10.29 PMby madstitchress
I know the belt was purchased retail…but I want a pattern for the belt! Or something similar….Love it! As for the dress, it is a great cut, but I'm big busted, but not plus-sized, so I don't think it would work :(

it totally would work! you just have to take it in at the wasit
Feb 23, 2010, 09.21 PMby blb
OK, I must be missing something here. The pattern is plus-sized, available in size 46-60, but it's shown on a size 10-or-so model?

Wonderful photos! You look so great in that outfit Alden! I actually love the colorful combination of that dress with the tights and the belt. Makes one longing for spring!
Feb 23, 2010, 03.13 PMby fraiche
STAGGERINGLY well sewn, and I am crazy in love with the belt…. but I don't like them together. I would love to see the silhouette without the belt, or with a matching belt, since it does show off Alden's bangin profile.
Feb 23, 2010, 03.44 AMby sewobsessed
love this outfit, where did you find such a short separating zipper? Good job.

Feb 23, 2010, 03.49 PMby alisondahl
The belt was purchased (at H&M I think) to style the dress with- it comes equipped with that little zipper. You can get zippers cut to be any length at many notions shops which sell them. Pacific Trim here in NYC does it for you.
Feb 23, 2010, 02.51 AMby mlssfshn
What a great remake! Beautifully done work, love the belt and the construction is impeccable.
Feb 23, 2010, 01.16 AMby nessys
I am just loving the perfection of print matching along the back where the zip is inserted! This to me, in itself is an art form. Alden – honey, you look lovely & those tights rock! Can't wait to see the video!

Did you guys take the original sample and remove the arms and refit it for Alden?
I like the zipper belt. That's a great idea that I'll file away for future use.
Also…. great light and windows, but is there a WALL less than a yard from them? Crazy! :P

Edmund Spenser
The Complete Poetical Works.
the rather presumed humbly to offer unto your Honour the dedication of this little poëme, for that the noble and vertuous gentlewoman of whom it is written was by match neere alied, and in affection greatly devoted unto your Ladiship. The occasion why I wrote the same was aswell the great good fame which I heard of her deceassed, as the particular goodwill which I beare unto her husband Master Arthur Gorges, a lover of learning and vertue, whose house, as your Ladiship by mariage hath honoured, so doe I find the name of them by many notable records, to be of great antiquitie in this realme, and such as have ever borne themselves with honourable reputation to the world, and unspotted loyaltie to their prince and countrey: besides, so lineally are they descended from the Howards, as that the Lady Anne Howard, eldest daughter to John Duke of Norfolke, was wife to Sir Edmund, mother to Sir Edward, and grandmother to Sir William and Sir Thomas Gorges, Knightes. And therefore I doe assure my selfe that no due honour done to the White Lyon, but will be most gratefull to your Ladiship, whose husband and children do so neerely participate with the bloud of that noble family. So in all dutie I recommende this pamphlet, and the good acceptance thereof, to your honourable favour and protection. London, this first of Januarie, 1591.
Your Honours humbly ever,
Ed. Sp.
[According to the usage of the sixteenth century in England, this first of Januarie, 1591, subscribed to the dedicatory letter of
would read in modern style, 1592; for the civil year did not begin till March 25. The compiler of a calendar might head his list of the months with January, for that was by long tradition the leader of the astronomical year; but a writer of letters would date according to the civil year. Yet it seems most unlikely that Spenser should have been in London in January, 1592. The patent for his pension, one main cause apparently of his long abode in England, had been finally issued in the preceding February; the preface of
refers to him as already departed over sea, and since that volume was entered upon the Stationers Register in December, 1590, it is likely to have been issued not more than a few months later; finally, the dedication of
Colin Clouts Come Home Again
is dated from Kilcolman the 27 of December, 1591only five days before this first of Januarie, 1592. That particular clash of dates, to be sure, has been explained by a recent critic on the supposition that
Colin Clouts Come Home Again
celebrates before the fact a merely prospective return to Ireland, that, in other words, it was written in England and dated from Kilcolman only by way of fiction. On the whole, however, one can more easily believe that in dating the dedication of
Spenser followed the Continental usage, or that he or the printer blundered, that, in either case, the date is meant for New Years, 1591, modern style,especially since the lady whose death the poem records died in August, 1590.
cannot pretend to greatness, yet few of Spensers poems are more thoroughly characteristic. Conventional in mode, with hardly a note of full imaginative conviction, it is quietly and unfailingly harmonious. Its stanza, in which, by mere transposition of a line, he creates out of the orthodox rhyme royal a form of haunting cadence, almost as beautiful as the stanza of October, would alone raise it high above the perfunctory.]
ever man he be, whose heavie minde,
With griefe of mournefull great mishap opprest,
Fit matter for his cares increase would finde:
Let reade the rufull plaint herein exprest
Of one (I weene) the wofulst man alive,
Even sad Alcyon, whose empierced brest
Sharpe sorrowe did in thousand peeces rive.
But who so else in pleasure findeth sense,
Or in this wretched life dooth take delight,
Let him be banisht farre away from hence:
Ne let the Sacred Sisters here be hight,
Though they of sorrowe heavilie can sing;
For even their heavie song would breede delight:
But here no tunes, save sobs and grones, shall ring.
In stead of them and their sweet harmonie,
Let those three Fatall Sisters, whose sad hands
Doo weave the direfull threds of destinie,
And in their wrath breake off the vitall bands,
Approach hereto: and let the dreadfull queene
Of darkenes deepe come from the Stygian strands,
And grisly ghosts, to heare this dolefull teene.
In gloomie evening, when the wearie sun
After his dayes long labour drew to rest,
And sweatie steedes, now having over-run
The compast skie, gan water in the west,
I walkt abroade to breath the freshing ayre
In open fields, whose flowring pride, opprest
With early frosts, had lost their beautie faire.
There came unto my minde a troublous thought,
Which dayly dooth my weaker wit possesse,
Ne lets it rest, untill it forth have brought
Her long borne infant, fruit of heavinesse,
Which she conceived hath through meditation
Of this worlds vainnesse and lifes wretchednesse,
That yet my soule it deepely doth empassion.
So as I muzed on the miserie
In which men live, and I of many most,
Most miserable man, I did espie
Where towards me a sory wight did cost,
Clad all in black, that mourning did bewray,
And Jaakob staffe in hand devoutly crost,
Like to some pilgrim come from farre away.
His carelesse locks, uncombed and unshorne,
Hong long adowne, and bearde all overgrowne,
That well he seemd to be sum wight forlorne:
Downe to the earth his heavie eyes were throwne
As loathing light; and ever as he went,
He sighed soft, and inly deepe did grone,
As if his heart in peeces would have rent.
Approaching nigh, his face I vewed nere,
And by the semblant of his countenance
Me seemd I had his person seene elsewhere,
Most like Alcyon seeming at a glaunce;
Alcyon he, the jollie shepheard swaine,
That wont full merrilie to pipe and daunce,
And fill with pleasance every wood and plaine.
Yet halfe in doubt because of his disguize,
I softlie sayd, Alcyon! Therewithall
He lookt aside as in disdainefull wise,
Yet stayed not: till I againe did call.
Then turning back, he saide with hollow sound,
Who is it that dooth name me, wofull thrall,
The wretchedst man that treades this day on ground?
One whome like wofulnesse, impressed deepe,
Hath made fit mate thy wretched case to heare,
And given like cause with thee to waile and weepe:
Griefe findes some ease by him that like does beare.
Then stay, Alcyon, gentle shepheard, stay,
Quoth I, till thou have to my trustie eare
Committed what thee dooth so ill apay.
Cease, foolish man, saide he halfe wrothfully,
To seeke to heare that which cannot be told:
For the huge anguish, which dooth multiply
My dying paines, no tongue can well unfold:
Ne doo I care that any should bemone
My hard mishap, or any weepe that would,
But seeke alone to weepe, and dye alone.
Then be it so, quoth I, that thou art bent
To die alone, unpitied, unplained;
Yet ere thou die, it were convenient
To tell the cause which thee theretoo constrained,
Least that the world thee dead accuse of guilt,
And say, when thou of none shalt be maintained,
That thou for secret crime thy blood hast spilt.
Who life dooes loath, and longs to bee unbound
From the strong shackles of fraile flesh, quoth he,
Nought cares at all what they that live on ground
Deeme the occasion of his death to bee:
Rather desires to be forgotten quight,
Than question made of his calamitie;
For harts deep sorrow hates both life and light.
Yet since so much thou seemst to rue my griefe,
And carest for one that for himselfe cares nought,
(Signe of thy love, though nought for my reliefe:
For my reliefe exceedeth living thought,)
I will to thee this heavie case relate.
Then harken well till it to ende be brought,
For never didst thou heare more haplesse fate.
Whilome I usde (as thou right well doest know)
My little flocke on westerne downes to keepe,
Not far from whence Sabrinaes streame doth flow,
And flowrie bancks with silver liquor steepe:
Nought carde I then for worldly change or chaunce,
For all my joy was on my gentle sheepe,
And to my pype to caroll and to daunce.
It there befell, as I the fields did range
Fearelesse and free, a faire young Lionesse,
White as the native rose before the chaunge
Which Venus blood did in her leaves impresse,
I spied playing on the grassie playne
Her youthfull sports and kindlie wantonnesse,
That did all other beasts in beawtie staine.
Much was I moved at so goodly sight,
Whose like before mine eye had seldome seene,
And gan to cast how I her compasse might,
And bring to hand, that yet had never beene:
So well I wrought with mildnes and with paine,
That I her caught disporting on the grene,
And brought away fast bound with silver chaine.
And afterwards I handled her so fayre,
That though by kind shee stout and salvage were,
For being borne an auncient lions haire,
And of the race that all wild beastes do feare,
Yet I her framd and wan so to my bent,
That shee became so meeke and milde of cheare
As the least lamb in all my flock that went.
For shee in field, where ever I did wend,
Would wend with me, and waite by me all day:
And all the night that I in watch did spend,
If cause requird, or els in sleepe, if nay,
Shee would all night by mee or watch or sleepe;
And evermore when I did sleepe or play,
She of my flock would take full warie keepe.
Safe then and safest were my sillie sheepe,
Ne feard the wolfe, ne feard the wildest beast,
All were I drownd in carelesse quiet deepe:
My lovelie Lionesse without beheast
So carefull was for them and for my good,
That when I waked, neither most nor least
I found miscaried or in plaine or wood.
Oft did the shepheards, which my hap did heare,
And oft their lasses, which my luck envide,
Daylie resort to me from farre and neare,
To see my Lyonesse, whose praises wide
Were spred abroad; and when her worthinesse
Much greater than the rude report they tride,
They her did praise, and my good fortune blesse.
Long thus I joyed in my happinesse,
And well did hope my joy would have no end:
But oh! fond man! that in worlds ficklenesse
Reposedst hope, or weenedst her thy frend
That glories most in mortall miseries,
And daylie doth her changefull counsels bend,
To make new matter fit for tragedies!
For whilest I was thus without dread or dout,
A cruell Satyre with his murdrous dart,
Greedie of mischiefe, ranging all about,
Gave her the fatall wound of deadly smart,
And reft fro me my sweete companion,
And reft fro me my love, my life, my hart:
My Lyonesse (ah, woe is mee!) is gon.
Out of the world thus was she reft awaie,
Out of the world, unworthie such a spoyle;
And borne to heaven, for heaven a fitter pray;
Much fitter than the lyon which with toyle
Alcides slew, and fixt in firmament:
Her now I seek throughout this earthlie soyle,
And seeking misse, and missing doe lament.
Therewith he gan afresh to waile and weepe,
That I for pittie of his heavie plight
Could not abstaine mine eyes with teares to steepe:
But when I saw the anguish of his spright
Some deale alaid, I him bespake againe:
Certes, Alcyon, painfull is thy plight,
That it in me breeds almost equall paine.
Yet doth not my dull wit well understand
The riddle of thy loved Lionesse;
For rare it seemes in reason to be skand,
That man, who doth the whole worlds rule possesse,
Should to a beast his noble hart embase,
And be the vassall of his vassalesse:
Therefore more plaine aread this doubtfull case.
Then sighing sore, Daphne thou knewest, quoth he;
She now is dead: ne more endured to say,
But fell to ground for great extreamitie;
That I, beholding it, with deepe dismay
Was much appald, and lightly him uprearing,
Revoked life, that would have fled away,
All were my self through griefe in deadly drearing.
Then gan I him to comfort all my best,
And with milde counsaile strove to mitigate
The stormie passion of his troubled brest:
But he thereby was more empassionate;
As stubborne steed, that is with curb restrained,
Becomes more fierce and fervent in his gate;
And breaking foorth at last, thus dearnelie plained.
What man henceforth, that breatheth vitall ayre,
Will honour Heaven, or heavenlie powers adore,
Which so unjustlie doe their judgments share
Mongst earthly wights, as to afflict so sore
The innocent as those which do transgresse,
And do not spare the best or fairest more
Than worst or fowlest, but doe both oppresse?
If this be right, why did they then create
The world so fayre, sith fairenesse is neglected?
Or whie be they themselves immaculate,
If purest things be not by them respected?
She faire, shee pure, most faire, most pure she was,
Yet was by them as thing impure rejected:
Yet shee in purenesse heaven it selfe did pas.
In purenesse and in all celestiall grace,
That men admire in goodlie womankinde,
She did excell, and seemd of angels race,
Living on earth like angell new divinde,
Adornd with wisedome and with chastitie,
And all the dowries of a noble mind,
Which did her beautie much more beautifie.
No age hath bred (since fayre Astræa left
The sinfull world) more vertue in a wight,
And when she parted hence, with her she reft
Great hope, and robd her race of bountie quight:
Well may the shepheard lasses now lament,
For dubble losse by her hath on them light,
To loose both her and bounties ornament.
Ne let Elisa, royall shepheardesse,
The praises of my parted love envy,
For she hath praises in all plenteousnesse
Powrd upon her, like showers of Castaly,
By her own shepheard, Colin her owne shepherd,
That her with heavenly hymnes doth deifie,
Of rusticke muse full hardly to be betterd.
She is the rose, the glorie of the day,
And mine the primrose in the lowly shade:
Mine? ah, not mine! amisse I mine did say:
Not mine, but His which mine awhile her made:
Mine to be His, with Him to live for ay.
O that so faire a flower so soone should fade,
And through untimely tempest fall away!
She fell away in her first ages spring,
Whilst yet her leafe was greene, and fresh her rinde,
And whilst her braunch faire blossomes foorth did bring,
She fell away against all course of kinde:
For age to dye is right, but youth is wrong;
She fel away like fruit blowne downe with winde:
Weepe, shepheard, weepe, to make my undersong.
What hart so stony hard, but that would weepe,
And poure foorth fountaines of incessant teares?
What Timon, but would let compassion creepe
Into his brest, and pierce his frosen eares?
In stead of teares, whose brackish bitter well
I wasted have, my heart blood dropping weares,
To thinke to ground how that faire blossome fell.
Yet fell she not as one enforst to dye,
Ne dyde with dread and grudging discontent,
But as one toyld with travaile downe doth lye,
So lay she downe, as if to sleepe she went,
And closde her eyes with carelesse quietnesse;
The whiles soft death away her spirit hent,
And soule assoyld from sinfull fleshlinesse.
Yet ere that life her lodging did forsake,
She, all resolvd and ready to remove,
Calling to me (ay me!) this wise bespake:
Alcyon! ah, my first and latest love!
Ah! why does my Alcyon weepe and mourne,
And grieve my ghost, that ill mote him behove,
As if to me had chanst some evill tourne?
I, since the messenger is come for mee
That summons soules unto the bridale feast
Of his great Lord, must needes depart from thee,
And straight obay his soveraine beheast
Why should Alcyon then so sore lament
That I from miserie shall be releast,
And freed from wretched long imprisonment?
Our daies are full of dolor and disease,
Our life afflicted with incessant paine,
That nought on earth may lessen or appease.
Why then should I desire here to remaine?
Or why should he that loves me, sorie bee
For my deliverance, or at all complaine
My good to heare, and toward joyes to see?
I goe, and long desired have to goe,
I goe with gladnesse to my wished rest,
Whereas no worlds sad care, nor wasting woe,
May come their happie quiet to molest,
But saints and angels in celestiall thrones
Eternally Him praise that hath them blest;
There shall I be amongst those blessed ones.
Yet ere I goe, a pledge I leave with thee
Of the late love, the which betwixt us past,
My young Ambrosia; in lieu of mee
Love her: so shall our love for ever last.
Thus, deare, adieu! whom I expect ere long.
So having said, away she softly past;
Weepe, shepheard, weepe, to make mine undersong.
So oft as I record those piercing words,
Which yet are deepe engraven in my brest,
And those last deadly accents, which like swords
Did wound my heart and rend my bleeding chest,
With those sweet sugred speaches doo compare
The which my soule first conquerd and possest,
The first beginners of my endlesse care;
And when those pallid cheekes and ashy hew,
In which sad Death his pourtraicture had writ,
And when those hollow eyes and deadly view,
On which the clowde of ghastly night did sit,
I match with that sweet smile and chearfull brow,
Which all the world subdued unto it;
How happie was I then, and wretched now!
How happie was I, when I saw her leade
The shepheards daughters dauncing in a rownd!
How trimly would she trace and softly tread
The tender grasse, with rosie garland crownd!
And when she list advance her heavenly voyce,
Both Nimphs and Muses nigh she made astownd,
And flocks and shepheards caused to rejoyce.
But now, ye shepheard lasses, who shall lead
Your wandring troupes, or sing your virelayes?
Or who shall dight your bowres, sith she is dead
That was the lady of your holy dayes?
Let now your blisse be turned into bale,
And into plaints convert your joyous playes,
And with the same fill every hill and dale.
Let bagpipe never more be heard to shrill,
That may allure the senses to delight;
Ne ever shepheard sound his oaten quill
Unto the many, that provoke them might
To idle pleasance: but let ghastlinesse
And drery horror dim the chearfull light,
To make the image of true heavinesse.
Let birds be silent on the naked spray,
And shady woods resound with dreadfull yells;
Let streaming floods their hastie courses stay,
And parching drougth drie up the christall wells;
Let th earth be barren, and bring foorth no flowres,
And th ayre be fild with noyse of dolefull knells,
And wandring spirits walke untimely howres.
And Nature, nurse of every living thing,
Let rest her selfe from her long wearinesse,
And cease henceforth things kindly forth to bring,
But hideous monsters full of uglinesse;
For she it is that hath me done this wrong;
No nurse, but stepdame cruell mercilesse.
Weepe, shepheard, weepe, to make my undersong.
My litle flocke, whom earst I lovd so well,
And wont to feede with finest grasse that grew,
Feede ye hencefoorth on bitter astrofell,
And stinking smallage, and unsaverie rew;
And when your mawes are with those weeds corrupted,
Be ye the pray of wolves: ne will I rew
That with your carkasses wild beasts be glutted.
Ne worse to you, my sillie sheepe, I pray,
Ne sorer vengeance wish on you to fall
Than to my selfe, for whose confusde decay
To carelesse heavens I doo daylie call:
But heavens refuse to heare a wretches cry;
And cruell Death doth scorne to come at call,
Or graunt his boone that most desires to dye.
The good and righteous he away doth take,
To plague th unrighteous which alive remaine:
But the ungodly ones he doth forsake,
By living long to multiplie their paine:
Els surely death should be no punishment,
As the great Judge at first did it ordaine,
But rather riddance from long languishment.
Therefore my Daphne they have tane away;
For worthie of a better place was she:
But me unworthie willed here to stay,
That with her lacke I might tormented be.
Sith then they so have ordred, I will pay
Penance to her according their decree,
And to her ghost doo service day by day.
For I will walke this wandring pilgrimage,
Throughout the world from one to other end,
And in affliction wast my better age:
My bread shall be the anguish of my mind,
My drink the teares which fro mine eyes do raine,
My bed the ground that hardest I may fynd:
So will I wilfully increase my paine.
And she, my love that was, my saint that is,
When she beholds from her celestiall throne
(In which shee joyeth in eternall blis)
My bitter penance, will my case bemone,
And pitie me that living thus doo die:
For heavenly spirits have compassion
On mortall men, and rue their miserie.
So when I have with sorrowe satisfide
Th importune Fates, which vengeance on me seeke,
And th heavens with long languor pacifide,
She, for pure pitie of my sufferance meeke,
Will send for me; for which I daylie long,
And will till then my painfull penance eeke.
Weep, shepheard, weep, to make my under song.
Hencefoorth I hate what ever Nature made,
And in her workmanship no pleasure finde:
For they be all but vaine, and quickly fade,
So soone as on them blowes the northern winde;
They tarrie not, but flit and fall away,
Leaving behind them nought but griefe of minde,
And mocking such as thinke they long will stay.
I hate the heaven, because it doth withhold
Me from my love, and eke my love from me;
I hate the earth, because it is the mold
Of fleshly slime and fraile mortalitie;
I hate the fire, because to nought it flyes,
I hate the ayre, because sighes of it be,
I hate the sea, because it teares supplyes.
I hate the day, because it lendeth light
To see all things, and not my love to see;
I hate the darknesse and the drery night,
Because they breed sad balefulnesse in mee;
I hate all times, because all times doo fly
So fast away, and may not stayed bee,
But as a speedie post that passeth by.
I hate to speake, my voyce is spent with crying:
I hate to heare, lowd plaints have duld mine eares:
I hate to tast, for food withholds my dying:
I hate to see, mine eyes are dimd with teares:
I hate to smell, no sweet on earth is left:
I hate to feele, my flesh is numbd with feares:
So all my senses from me are bereft.
I hate all men, and shun all womankinde;
The one, because as I they wretched are,
The other, for because I doo not finde
My love with them, that wont to be their starre:
And life I hate, because it will not last,
And death I hate, because it life doth marre,
And all I hate, that is to come or past.
So all the world, and all in it I hate,
Because it changeth ever too and fro,
And never standeth in one certaine state,
But still unstedfast round about doth goe,
Like a mill wheele, in midst of miserie,
Driven with streames of wretchednesse and woe,
That dying lives, and living still does dye.
So doo I live, so doo I daylie die,
And pine away in selfe-consuming paine:
Sith she that did my vitall powres supplie,
And feeble spirits in their force maintaine,
Is fetcht fro me, why seeke I to prolong
My wearie daies in dolor and disdaine?
Weep, shepheard, weep, to make my undersong.
Why doo I longer live in lifes despight,
And doo not dye then in despight of death?
Why doo I longer see this loathsome light,
And doo in darknesse not abridge my breath,
Sith all my sorrow should have end thereby,
And cares finde quiet? Is it so uneath
To leave this life, or dolorous to dye?
To live I finde it deadly dolorous;
For life drawes care, and care continuall woe:
Therefore to dye must needes be joyeous,
And wishfull thing this sad life to forgoe.
But I must stay; I may it not amend;
My Daphne hence departing bad me so;
She bad me stay, till she for me did send.
Yet, whilest I in this wretched vale doo stay,
My wearie feete shall ever wandring be,
That still I may be readie on my way,
When as her messenger doth come for me:
Ne will I rest my feete for feeblenesse,
Ne will I rest my limmes for fraïltie,
Ne will I rest mine eyes for heavinesse.
But, as the mother of the gods, that sought
For faire Euridyce, her daughter deere,
Throghout the world, with wofull heavie thought,
So will I travell whilest I tarrie heere,
Ne will I lodge, ne will I ever lin,
Ne when as drouping Titan draweth neere
To loose his teeme, will I take up my inne.
Ne sleepe (the harbenger of wearie wights)
Shall ever lodge upon mine ey-lids more,
Ne shall with rest refresh my fainting sprights,
Nor failing force to former strength restore:
But I will wake and sorrow all the night
With Philumene, my fortune to deplore,
With Philumene, the partner of my plight.
And ever as I see the starres to fall,
And under ground to goe, to give them light
Which dwell in darknes, I to minde will call
How my faire starre (that shinde on me so bright)
Fell sodainly and faded under ground;
Since whose departure, day is turnd to night,
And night without a Venus starre is found.
But soone as day doth shew his deawie face,
And calls foorth men unto their toylsome trade,
I will withdraw me to some darksome place,
Or some deepe cave, or solitarie shade;
There will I sigh and sorrow all day long,
And the huge burden of my cares unlade.
Weep, shepheard, weep, to make my undersong.
Hence foorth mine eyes shall never more behold
Faire thing on earth, ne feed on false delight
Of ought that framed is of mortall moulde,
Sith that my fairest flower is faded quight:
For all I see is vaine and transitorie,
Ne will be helde in anie stedfast plight,
But in a moment loose their grace and glorie.
And ye, fond men, on Fortunes wheele that ride,
Or in ought under heaven repose assurance,
Be it riches, beautie, or honors pride,
Be sure that they shall have no long endurance,
But ere ye be aware will flit away;
For nought of them is yours, but th onely usance
Of a small time, which none ascertaine may.
And ye, true lovers, whom desastrous chaunce
Hath farre exiled from your ladies grace,
To mourne in sorrow and sad sufferaunce,
When ye doo heare me in that desert place
Lamenting lowde my Daphnes elegie,
Helpe me to wayle my miserable case,
And when life parts, vouchsafe to close mine eye.
And ye, more happie lovers, which enjoy
The presence of your dearest loves delight,
When ye doo heare my sorrowfull annoy,
Yet pittie me in your empassiond spright,
And thinke that such mishap as chaunst to me
May happen unto the most happiest wight;
For all mens states alike unstedfast be.
And ye, my fellow shepheards, which do feed
Your carelesse flocks on hils and open plaines,
With better fortune than did me succeed,
Remember yet my undeserved paines;
And when ye heare that I am dead or slaine,
Lament my lot, and tell your fellow swaines
That sad Alcyon dyde in lifes disdaine.
And ye, faire damsels, shepheards dere delights,
That with your loves do their rude hearts possesse,
When as my hearse shall happen to your sightes,
Vouchsafe to deck the same with cyparesse;
And ever sprinckle brackish teares among,
In pitie of my undeservd distresse,
The which I, wretch, endured have thus long.
And ye, poore pilgrims, that with restlesse toyle
Wearie your selves in wandring desert wayes,
Till that you come where ye your vowes assoyle,
When passing by ye read these wofull layes
On my grave written, rue my Daphnes wrong,
And mourne for me that languish out my dayes.
Cease, shepheard, cease, and end thy undersong.
Thus when he ended had his heavie plaint,
The heaviest plaint that ever I heard sound,
His cheekes wext pale, and sprights began to faint,
As if againe he would have fallen to ground;
Which when I saw, I (stepping to him light)
Amooved him out of his stonie swound,
And gan him to recomfort as I might.
But he no waie recomforted would be,
Nor suffer solace to approach him nie,
But casting up a sdeinfull eie at me,
That in his traunce I would not let him lie,
Did rend his haire, and beat his blubbred face,
As one disposed wilfullie to die,
That I sore grievd to see his wretched case.
Tho when the pang was somewhat overpast,
And the outragious passion nigh appeased,
I him desirde, sith daie was overcast
And darke night fast approched, to be pleased
To turne aside unto my cabinet,
And staie with me, till he were better eased
Of that strong stownd which him so sore beset.
But by no meanes I could him win there-to,
Ne longer him intreate with me to staie,
But without taking leave he foorth did goe
With staggring pace and dismall lookes dismay,
As if that Death he in the face had seene,
Or hellish hags had met upon the way:
But what of him became I cannot weene.

Patterson lifts Lady Dragons to repeat
DeMOTTE — With under a minute remaining, Argos senior Jami Patterson took a ball from Charlie Horn, cut past two defenders at the 18 and hit a shot to her left. The ball careened off the post and into the goal to lift Argos to 2-1 over Boone Grove and clinch the Lady Dragons a repeat sectional title.
Patterson had scored on an assist from Megan Ditmire midway through the first half to give Argos a lead. The Dragons had the better of play for most of the game, and limited 16-2 Boone Grove to three shots on goal in the first half — most long-range snipes grabbed by Argos keeper Karlee VanDerWeele. Despite controlling the match, the early goal was the only one on target, as most Dragon shots went wide or high of the frame.
"Our game plan was to have Allie Flower mark (Paige) Aguliera," Argos girls soccer coach Jon Alcorn said. "She scored about 40 goals this year and has really been the engine of their team. Allie did a tremendous job, and it really limited their attack, but we just couldn't find that second goal to give us some breathing room."
With their star hampered all day, the Wolves needed someone else to step up. Enter Mackenzie Starcevich.
A partially cleared ball fell to her feet and the senior midfielder drove to the right side of the box and hit a strike to the left post to level the match and stun the Dragons in the 78th minute.
"That's what seniors do. Starcevich hit a rocket," said Alcorn. "When that happens, it takes your breath away. I'm so proud of our kids because they didn't falter. Charlie (Horn) had the sense to win the tackle and carry it instead of clearing it. Boone Grove had pushed their strong center back, McCafferty, up trying to equalize, but when they scored, she stayed up. So Jami received a good ball with less pressure."
The Boone Grove goal, dramatic in its own right with 2:42 remaining, set up the Argos rally, finished by Patterson with only 34 seconds left.
"It was clear that we were a bit better overall, but you have to credit Boone for heart. They kept at it to the end. And for us to take a blow like that and stay composed was incredible," said Alcorn. "It's too bad someone had to lose this one."
The Dragons, now 12-5-2 on the year, return home to regional play at Eugene Snyder field. The one-game Class A Girls Regional will be Saturday at 7 p.m.

(Garcia upsets Kevin Aguilar to win the LFC featherweight title last December. Highlights via AXS TV.)
2013 may have been a toss up between "The Year of the Rhino," "The Year of the California Kid," and "The Year of the Ruthless"(?), but there was one former UFC star who perhaps had the greatest career turnaround of them all: Leonard Garcia. Sure, the back-to-back-to-back stoppage victories Garcia picked up under the Legacy FC banner pale in comparison to the high-level wins of the other candidates, but none of those guys were coming off five straight losses either.
Yes, after kicking off last year by getting kicked out of the UFC following a loss to Cody "Tags" McKenzie at UFC 159, Garcia signed with Legacy Fighting Championships and proceeded to go on a three fight tear capped off by a first round TKO over the previously undefeated Kevin Aguilar at LFC 27 that earned him the promotion's featherweight title. While it might not be the crowning achievement of his career, at least Garcia had to earn the damn thing (*cough* Rousimar Palhares *cough*).
Any which way you look at it, Garcia had a hell of a 2013. And on March 21st, "Bad Boy" will look to keep his win streak going when he faces Bellator and KOTC veteran Shane Howell at Legacy FC 27 in what will hopefully be his first title defense. Not that we have a dog in this fight or anything.
Don't let Howell's mediocre 13-7 record fool you, the Oklahoman has been on an absolute tear as of late. Currently riding a six-fight win streak with five finishes and nine victories in his past ten bouts, Howell should easily make for Garcia's toughest test since exiting the UFC. So yeah, it's 2014 and Leonard Garcia is *defending* the title of a semi-reputable organization. Who saw that coming?
Legacy FC 27 will also feature a light heavyweight title fight between Paul Buentello — who is enjoying something of a career revival at 205 lbs. to his credit — and Myron Dennis, as well as the return of TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins at flyweight.

Reviewed By Andrew B (AMERICAN FORK, UT) Reviewed for a 2014 Nissan Frontier —12/29/2014 8:46 PM
Most of the installation videos are for full size trucks. My 2014 Nissan Frontier required taking off the Utilitrack and even then the c-clamps were a tight fit. Not bad if I were to leave it installed but a pain since I use it to carry things occasionally. Apart from that it is quiet and sturdy and good looking (for a bed rack). The rubber channel insert was missing, but perhaps this is not much of a loss. Very expensive for what it is, but the price at AutoAnything was the best I found.

57th National Universal Agreement to Mediate Between Commission and Major Employer
MIAMI - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Education America/Remington College today announced the signing of a National Universal Agreement to Mediate (NUAM) to informally resolve workplace disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) prior to an EEOC investigation or potential litigation.
Today's agreement marks the 57TH NUAM that EEOC has signed with a large, broad-based employer and continues the trend of major companies signing on to the Commission's widely acclaimed mediation program. Remington College, based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a proprietary (vocational or career oriented) group of colleges and employs approximately 1,600 employees in 13 states. Further information about the company, founded in 1985, is available on its web site at www.remingtoncollege.edu.
Costales added: "EEOC mediation is fair, non-adversarial, expeditious, cost-effective and often resolves employment conflicts to the satisfaction of all involved parties. We applaud Remington College for working with us in partnership to reach this important agreement." Robert Acre, Vice President Human Resources for Education America/Remington College, said: "Our company has participated in the EEOC's ADR program and we are very pleased with the successful outcomes."
Under the terms of the NUAM, all eligible charges of discrimination filed with the Commission naming Education America/Remington College, as the employer/respondent will be referred to the EEOC's mediation unit, as appropriate. The company will designate a corporate representative to handle all inquiries and other logistical matters related to potential charges in order to facilitate a prompt scheduling of the matter for EEOC mediation.
The expansion and promotion of ADR and voluntary mediation is the centerpiece of Chair Dominguez's Five-Point Plan to improve EEOC's overall operations. EEOC's mediation program is one of the largest employment-related ADR programs of its kind nationwide, with over 11,500 mediations conducted annually. In addition to the 57 NUAMs, EEOC district offices have entered into more than 600 mediation agreements with employers at the local and regional levels within their respective jurisdictions.
Since 1999 when the program was implemented nationally, EEOC has mediated more than 50,000 cases with approximately 70% being successfully resolved in an average time of 85 days - nearly half the time it takes to resolve a charge through the investigative process. Additionally, EEOC's experience over the years has shown that 13-20% of mediated cases are resolved based solely on a non-monetary benefit. A comprehensive survey conducted by independent researchers showed that 91% of charging parties and 96% of employers would use EEOC's mediation program again if a charge was filed - irrespective of issues, bases, size of employer, or whether the charge was resolved or not. The study concluded that the parties saw the EEOC's process as fair, neutral, and efficient.
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which prohibits discrimination against individuals 40 years of age or older; sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; and the Rehabilitation Act's prohibitions against disability discrimination in the federal government. Further information about the Commission is available online at www.eeoc.gov.

Over the road truck drivers have one of the most dangerous jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics ratings of jobs with the highest fatality rates. Expanded allowable hours of service have made conditions for truck drivers worse. In 2003, the allowable hours a truck driver could drive per day were raised from 10 to 11 hours. Although Public Citizen has won twice in court to overturn the rules, drivers are still currently permitted to drive the expanded hours.About 5,000 people die in truck-involved crashes each year, including about 800 drivers. On top of this, truck drivers work a shocking number of hours — as much as 88 hours of driving in an 8-day period, with just 34 consecutive off-duty hours to recover and return to work. These long service hours combined with outside stresses from tight timelines and little margin for error, encourage unsafe driving practices and fatigued driving. Public Citizen advocates for shorter service hours and improvements in work conditions to promote safe operation and protect truck drivers as well as drivers of other vehicles.
