I am one of the few still-standing teenage girls not obsessed with Twilight. At my school, there are girls who actually think Edward Cullen, the hot vampire in the book/movie, exists. There are also Facebook groups about him. And I swear fifty girls from the senior class alone went to the midnight showing Thursday despite the fact that there were a ton of tests the next day.
The movie follows Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), a junior who just moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father (Billy Burke). Bella meets a dreamy vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who has the need to protect her. His natural instincts tell him to drink her blood, but his heart tells him to love her forever. Oh, and then there are these bad vampires who try to kill Bella, making it so Edward has to save her.
I was pressured to read the best-selling series the movie was based on by Stephenie Meyer. I refused until I lost a bet. I made it through half the book before I put it down. The problem I had with the book was the same I had with the movie. How's this for annoying: "Bella, I can't be with you, because I'm dangerous. You have to get away from me."
And then Bella, who isn't particularly bright if you ask me, says to the guy who said he's going to kill her, "It's okay, Edward, I trust you."
"No, Bella. We can never be together."
Over and over. That is why I put the book down.
Don't get me wrong. I don't hate the entire plot, but I hated Edward Cullen for the first half of the movie. He's the most annoying guy ever; I don't know how any girl — fictional or real — can possibly find him appealing. Although between you and me, Robert Pattinson got hotter and hotter as the movie went on and on. After a while, Edward becomes actually bearable and a bit fun and the plot is okay. Plus, when the evil vampires came after Bella, the special effects totally rocked.
I actually didn't want to see the movie at all, but my twin sister looked so cute. She sold me on the fact that Kristen Stewart was in the movie and I think Kristen is a great actress. All of the actors in the movie did a great job, especially Kristen and Robert and that was one of the main reasons I am happy I spent ten dollars on this movie.
Twilight has already grossed 70 million and the sequel has been green-lighted. Although I'm sure all the diehard fans are screaming, I'm still not quite sure I'll go. The acting was great and the special effects were awesome, but I'm still not sold on Twilight.Powered by Sidelines

A quick checklist for a new A/V system

Whether you are setting up an HTPC, upgrading your stereo or picking up a new TV, it is a good idea to think about connections before you start. The chances are you will have multiple inputs to worry about; as an example a PC with a TV tuner may output the sound to a TV via an HDMI connection, while using an S/PDIF or optical connection to send audio directly to the stereo receiver. Digital Trends includes and goes beyond such matters in their new article with suggestions on matching your receiver to the requirements of your Blu-ray player and ensuring that the speakers you purchas
A more Xtreme Cyberpower, for less

CyberPower has sent their newest Xtreme Gaming system to Ars Technica, with a price tag that has dropped from their previous system. Housed inside is a Gigabyte P55A-UD4P with an i5-750 @ 2.66GHz and 4GB of Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 and perhaps most importantly an ATI HD 5870 1GB. That P55 board, with a pair of DIMMs seems to have allowed CyberPower to drop the price,
Streaming online content to a Linux HTPC
Subject: Systems | January 18, 2010 - 08:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
One alternative to the Windows Media Centre when building an HTPC is to go with a flavour of Linux and MythTV. The set up may be a little daunting to those who have never used or installed Linux, but the rewards are worth the time invested. MythTV does have an Achilles Heel, which is its inability to deal with streaming video from the net. Many have tried to integrate that capability into the program, with mixed results. There is a new plug in in the works that may solve this dilemma, MythNetVision which consists of a search screen and a site/RSS browser screen. <

In the year that French President Jacques Chirac famously dismissed British cooking as second only to Finland as being the worst in the world, both chefs have been appointed OBE.
Mr Blumenthal, whose Fat Duck restaurant in Berkshire has three Michelin stars, and is renowned for dishes such as snail porridge, said that he was "just praying they wouldn't change their minds." He added: "All that nonsense from Jacques Chirac about British food being some of the worst in the world did us a favour because we got a lot of attention in France and abroad. We are now hopefully showing that British food is on the up and is something to be really proud of." Mr Ramsay, who hosts the culinary show, The F Word, and is known for his colourful explosions in the kitchen, said he was surprised by the OBE. He said: "I'm humbled and delighted to accept this honour, which is the most wonderful way to round off an extraordinary year." A host of artists and writers were recognised on the New Year Honours List. The firebrand fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood, the woman credited with creating modern punk became a Dame and Jeanette Winterson, writer of acclaimed novels such as Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, is created OBE. Sanjeev Bhaskar, comedian and host of The Kumars at Number 42, and Robbie Coltrane, who features in the Harry Potter and James Bond movies, are both appointed OBEs.
Tom Jones, the Welsh singer, received a knighthood, while the DJ Johnnie Walker, who was appointed MBE for his services to BBC Radio 2, said that he was "most grateful". The television entertainer, Bruce Forsyth, most recently the co-host of Strictly Come Dancing, is created CBE. Rachel Whiteread, the sculptor whose work includes a reproduction of the interior of a library commissioned as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, was also appointed CBE. The actress Imelda Staunton, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for her performance in Vera Drake, is created OBE.Reuse content

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Wish List has already reached the maximum number of products
The AJ-PCD2G is the first P2 drive to operate on USB bus power, thanks to its low power consuming design. Connecting to a PC or a Mac with USB cables (2 cables), with no power adaptor required, it offers excellent mobility and operational versatility.
* One cable for data transmission and power supply, and the other cable exclusively for power supply.
The AJ-PCD2G is only 25.5 mm (1-1/16") thick and weighs 200 g (0.4 lbs). It is also relatively inexpensive, and can be used conveniently in the field or on a desktop.
The AJ-PCD2G is provided with driver software for Windows (XP/Vista/7) and Mac OS X (10.5/10.6), and supports the latest video applications for nonlinear editing and other tasks. The AJ-PCD2G is capable of loading data from a P2 card at a transfer rate of 30 MB/s*.
* The 30 MB/s transfer rate is the maximum rate. The actual transfer rate may be lower due to various factors, such as the file being transferred, the performance of the system (computer/OS) used, the application software and the P2 card version.

New Relic Aims to Make Big Data Access Easier With Analytics Cloud
Software analytics firm New Relic kicked off its user conference with the announcement of more visual tools to discover data insights through its Analytics Cloud for big data.SAN FRANCISCO–Thanks to the Internet and cloud technology, software companies have more customer purchase data than ever before. But extracting actionable insights from that data quickly or even in real time has been a challenge. Software analytics provider New Relic is gaining fans among software developers by making it easier to gain such insights. At its third annual FutureStack user conference here Nov. 12, the vendor announced the immediate availability of Software Analytics Cloud with a more visual interface designed to make its New Relic Insights suite more accessible. The more intuitive point and click Data Explorer interface gives users the ability to make data inquiries such as what items are visitors clicking on at a specific website without requiring the query to be written in the company's NRQL (New Relic Query Language). With the added simplicity of the graphical interface, the company said business analysts and others will have an easier time accessing data captured by New Relic software, which is typically used by developers. CEO and Founder Lew Cirne said New Relic's proprietary, multi-tenant cloud analytics NRDB database collects more than 2 million events per second. In total he said New Relic collects 18 billion events a day. "We built a super cluster so you don't have to," Cirne said in his keynote remarks. "We don't think there's a database remotely like this in the cloud."
An impressive lineup of blue chip companies among its 13,000 customers use New Relic to get real time insights into such things as website performance, including up-to-the-second stats on page views, the number of users on their sites and what products are being clicked on.

Narrative Architecture by Nigel Coates
Book DescriptionThe first book to look architectural narrative in the eye Since the early eighties, many architects have used the term "narrative" to describe their work. To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development. * Authored by Nigel Coates, a foremost figure in the field of narrative architecture, the book is one of the first to address this subject directly * Features architects as diverse as William Kent, Antoni Gaudi, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Superstudio, Rem Koolhaas, and FAT to provide an overview of the work of NATO and Coates, as well as chapters on other contemporary designers * Includes over 120 colour photographs Signposting narrative's significance as a design approach that can aid architecture to remain relevant in this complex, multi-disciplinary and multi-everything age, Narrative Architecture is a must-read for anyone with an interest in architectural history and theory.

Books By Author Nigel Coates
Narrative Architecture, Paperback (January 2012)
To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. In practice it is just as easy to be minimalist as maximalist in its execution.

AEV 2" Spacer Kit Reviews
Anyone have this installed? What do you think? Pics would be sweet :punk:
Background: JKUR 2013. Daily driver so want very good road manners, but want a more aggressive look and will definitely continue to do more off-road. Seems very economical and straightforward, and I've heard great things about AEV and driveability on road. I'm assuming 2" would not necessitate any other modes (drive shafts, steering geometry, etc). I'd put 33's on it.
Thanks for any reviews/input. All is welcome
Had this kit on my 2011.

The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) has been projecting a shortage of downward and upward load-following capability as early as 2017. On July 12, 2013, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced a technical conference to be held on July 31, 2013, in Sacramento, California, to address the State of California's need for flexible capacity and local reliability in the two-to-five-year forward period. In addition, the panelists will address a proposal released by CAISO and the California Public Utilities Commission to (1) augment the existing year-ahead resource adequacy procurement obligations for all load-serving entities (LSEs) by establishing procurement obligations two and three years prior to a delivery year; (2) develop a CAISO-run capacity auction to provide a voluntary platform for LSEs to procure additional forward capacity beyond what they procure bilaterally; and (3) provide an annual long-term reliability planning assessment, focused on the four-to-10-year forward period. The technical conference is a result of FERC's order in Docket No. ER13-550 earlier this year, encouraging CAISO and its stakeholders "to focus on the development of a durable, market-based mechanism that provides incentives to ensure that resources with the adequacy and operational needs CAISO requires are available to meet system needs." Such efforts may result in new market opportunities for generation owners.
A copy of the CAISO / CPUC proposal is available here.

Start Data Movement on an Always On Secondary Database (SQL Server)
Published: May 17, 2016
Updated: May 17, 2016
Applies To: SQL Server 2016
THIS TOPIC APPLIES TO: SQL Server (starting with 2016)Azure SQL DatabaseAzure SQL Data Warehouse Parallel Data Warehouse
This topic contains information about how to start data synchronization after you add a database to an Always On availability group. For each new primary replica, secondary databases must be prepared on the server instances that host the secondary replicas. Then each of these secondary databases must be manually joined to the availability group.
To start data synchronization manually, you need to connect, in turn, to each server instance that is hosting a secondary replica for the availability group and complete the following steps:
Restore current backups of each primary database and its transaction log (using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY). You can use either of the following alternative approaches:
Manually restore a recent database backup of the primary database using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY, and then restore each subsequent log backup using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY. Perform this restore sequence on every server instance that hosts a secondary replica for the availability group.
For more information:
Manually Prepare a Secondary Database for an Availability Group (SQL Server)
If you are adding one or more log shipping primary databases to an availability group, you might be able to migrate one or more of the corresponding secondary databases from log shipping to Always On Availability Groups. Migrating a log shipping secondary database requires that it use the same database name as the primary database and that it reside on a server instance that is hosting a secondary replica for the availability group. Furthermore, the availability group must be configured so that the primary replica is preferred for backups and is a candidate for performing backups (that is, that has a backup priority that is >0). Once the backup job has run on the primary database, you will need to disable the backup job, and once the restore job has run on a given secondary database, you will need to disable the restore job.
After you have created all the secondary databases for the availability group, if you want to perform backups on secondary replicas, you will need to re-configure the automated backup preference of the availability group.
For more information:
Prerequisites for Migrating from Log Shipping to Always On Availability Groups (SQL Server)
As soon as possible, join each newly prepared secondary database to the availability group.

England and the English: Central England
Название: England and the English: Central England
Уровень: Pre-Intermediate
The Midlands (or the Midland industrial region) represent the largest concentration of manufacturing industry. Metal-working on the basis of local coals was the source of the «Black Country» development.
The characteristic industries of the West Midlands are metallurgy (steel tubes and non-ferrous metals), machine-tool building, electrical engineering, and the car, carpets and pottery industries (with over 80 per cent of Britain's ceramic industry located in Staffordshire, around Stoke-on-Trent).
Birmingham is the regional capital, a «city of a thousand trades», including not only motor cars and bicycles but engines for aircraft production. Coventry is the centre of the car and aircraft industries.
In the East Midlands, Leicester is noted for hosiery* and knitwear*, boots and shoes and machinery for making these products, Nottingham — for lace* and bicycles, tobacco and pharmaceutical goods, Corby — a new town — for steel industry (it was nearly condemned to death by the closure of steelworks by the British Steel Corporation).
In argiculture, horticulture* is important in the Midlands as a supplier of food for the local urban population.
hosiery — чулочные изделия
knitwear — вязаные вещи, трикотажные изделия
lace — тесьма, кружево
horticulture — садоводство, огородничество
In the heart of England, about 112 miles north-west of London, is Birmingham, a city with over a million inhabitants. The growth of this city during the last century has been very rapid, for it owes its importance, almost entirely to its iron industry. Although it has no outlet on the sea-coast and does not stand on any great river, it has become a busy hive* of industry.
The district around Birmingham is known as the Black Country. It is a land of factories and mines. Steam engines, gas-engines, motor-cars, railway carriages, rails, guns, bicycles, argicultural implements*, cooking utensils*, carpenter's tools, screws*, and nails are among the articles manufactured in the factories of the Black Country.
Birmingham is surrounded by typically English countryside — quiet meadows and woodland, sleepy oldworld villages, impressive castles and ancient churches. South of Birmingham lies the historic town of Warwick with its great castle. Nearby is Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Coventry is famous for its magnificent modern cathedral. The waters of Leamington Spa* can cure* medical problems. In the beautiful fruit-growing countryside of the Severn valley, are the famous cathedral-towns of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester, plus ancient Tewkesbury.
hive — улей, людской муравейник
implements — принадлежности, инвентарь
utensil — посуда
screw — болт, шуруп
spa — курорт с минеральными водами
cure — исцелять, вылечивать
Long famous as an international business centre, Birmingham has developed into a modern and exciting city whose buildings and shops are second to none*.
Birmingham is at the heart of Britain's motorway system. The superbly designed inner ring road is easily identified* by its red surface and gives easy access* to the city centre.
Massive post-war development schemes have meant exciting new buildings. But the best of the old has been preserved.
The city's museum and art gallery has some of the finest examples of pre-Raphaelite painting, with works by Burne-Jones and William Morris. The Science Museum houses the earliest English locomotive actually built (1784).
Birmingham's ultra-modern library is one of the largest and best stocked* in Europe and includes the Shakespeare Memorial Library with 40, 000 books in 90 languages.
The city possesses several interesting churches and two cathedrals.
Shopping facilities in Birmingham are a magnet for thousands; there is a wealth of variety few places in Britain can rival*. The multilevel Bull Ring Shopping Centre is completely traffic free and linked by subways with the major shopping streets of the city. It includes most kinds of retail shops*, open-air and covered markets, banks, restaurants and offices. Equally impressive is the air-conditioned New Street Shopping Centre.
Birmingham has more canals than Venice. Some canal basins have been developed as recreational centres, with walks, pubs, restored buildings and boat trips from Gas Street Basin and Cambrian Wharf.
The city has excellent facilities for all kinds of sport. It boasts* twenty swimming pools and eight municipal golf courses, as well as many private clubs. Edgbaston Reservoir is a 60-acre lake for sailing, rowing and fishing, and the Wyndley Leisure Centre at Sutton Coldfield provides facilities for indoor sports. Test* and County cricket is played at Edgbaston; Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion are the local football teams.
second to none — непревзойденный
identify — опознавать
access — доступ
best stocked — наилучшим образом укомплектована (книгами);
rival — соперничать, конкурировать
retail shops — магазины, продающие в розницу
boast — гордиться; хвастать
Test (matches) — международные (соревнования)
Buying and selling has been an important part of life in Birmingham for more than eight hundred years. In fact men used to sell their wives there as recently as the 18th century! (In 1733 Samuel Whitehouse sold his wife to Thomas Griffiths in the market place for a little more than a pound!) Although neither husbands nor wives are for sale nowadays, Birmingham's markets offer a large choice of other goods.
Each Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, the colourful rag market can be found. People used to come to buy and sell old clothes (rags) but now there is a wide selection of modern fashions for everybody.
Years ago farmers used to sell their animals at the Bull Ring, but now it is one of the biggest open-air markets and shopping centres in the United Kingdom. People enjoy shopping there because it has modern shops, together with atmosphere of a traditional street market.
Representatives of the former war-torn* cities of Coventry and Volgograd have renewed friendship pledges made more than 50 years ago at the time of the Battle of Stalingrad.
A new Coventry leisure area in the city centre — a pleasant green space with seats and fountains — has been named Volgograd Place, and bears a plaque marking the naming of the area «as a symbol of the friendship between Volgograd and Coventry born out of the sufferings of both cities during wartime and now devoted to international understanding».
The plaque was unveiled on November 25, 1973, by Deputy Mayor of Volgograd, Mr. Mikhail Zolotaryov, who said: «The friendship between our two cities was born in the trenches* of Stalingrad and the ruins of Coventry.»
«Citizens of our two cities are well aware what war is. That is why the policy of our two cities is for friendship and the preservation of peace. Thirty years is a long time, and our cities have changed greatly in that time, but our friendship has not changed.»
There was a moving silence when Mr. Zolotaryov handed to Coventry's Lord Mayor, Councillor Wilfred Spencer, a polished wood casket* containing soil taken from Mamayev Hill, soil soaked* with the blood of the defenders of Stalingrad.
Mr. Spencer recalled that the Battle of Stalingrad marked the turning point of the war in Europe and that it was remembered in order to build a more secure future.
renew — возобновлять, возрождать
pledge — обещание
tear (tore, torn) — поранить, оцарапать
trench — траншея, окоп
casket — шкатулка
soak — пропитываться
Nottinghamshire lies in the heart of England's East Midlands. The capital city of Nottingham is ancient. Its castle was founded by William the Conqueror in 1068. On the other hand, it is a very modern city of some 300, 000 people with a range of shops comparable with those found in the West End of London (which lies some 120 miles to the south), several fine hotels, an Art Gallery, lovely parks and a multitude* of other attractions and amenities*. These include two modern theatres, the Nottingham Playhouse, which since its opening in the mid-1960s has won a national reputation as one of the leading repertory theatres* in Britain; and the Nottingham Theatre Royal, more than a century old and recently completely refurbished*.
Nottinghamshire's prosperity comes from its varied industry in which coal mining and agriculture each feature strongly. Textiles, lace, hosiery, engineering, bicycles, tobacco, pharma-ceuticals, chemicals, telecommunications, brewing*, shoes and furniture are also extremely important products from a county which is «home» to worldwide household names such as Players, Boots, Raleigh and Plessey.
Nottinghamshire is further enriched by its market towns of Newark, Mansfield, Retford, Worksop and Southwell. Each has a special attraction: Newark with its Castle, historic buildings and Civil War connections; Mansfield with its new shopping centre; Retford's attractive market square; Worksop's Priory Church with its ancient Gate House; and Southwell wi'th its beautiful Norman Cathedral and village-like atmosphere.
multitude — множество, большое число, масса
amenities — все, что способствует хорошему настроению, отдыху; удовольствия
repertory theatre — театр с постоянной труппой и подготовленным для театрального сезона репертуаром
refurbish — вновь отремонтировать, обновить
brewing — пивоварение
The Maypole* is an ancient fertility* emblem belonging to the beginning of summer, and it also represents a tree; indeed, at one time it was a tree, brought in from the woods with ceremony, and set up on the village green. In the darkness of the early morning, the young people went out on May Day and cut down a tall, young tree, lopped off* most of its branches, leaving only a few at the top, and so brought it home, to be adorned* with flowers and garlands, and to serve as a centre for their dances.
Sometimes the parish* possessed a standing Maypole, a permanent shaft* which remained in position all the year, and was freshly painted and adorned when May Day came round. A few still stand, or rather, their descendants do on the traditional site, for the average age of a Maypole is not much more than fifteen years. After that, it begins to rot* at the foot and has to be renewed. These permanent poles are usually very tall. That at Welford-on-Avon, with its bright-red, circular* stripes*, like a barber's pole*, is seventy feet high, that at Barwick-in-Elmet, near Leeds, is even taller, rising to eighty or ninety feet. This pole is taken down every three years, on Easter Monday*, and set up again on Whit Tuesday*. The arrangements are in the hands of three elected Pole Men. While it is down, the Maypole is repainted, and ever so often, when it becomes necessary, replaced, and its four garlands renewed.
There are still a good many Maypoles today. Most schools have them, on May Day, or on some convenient day during the month, and some villages maintain the old tradition, especially in places where there are standing-poles.
maypole — майское дерево (столб, украшенный цветами, флажками и т. п., вокруг которого танцуют на майском празднике)
fertility — плодородие, изобилие, богатство
lop off — очищать дерево от сучьев
adorn — украшать
parish — церковный приход
shaft — ствол, стебель
rot — гнить, портиться
circular — круговой
stripe — полоса
barber>s pole — шест, окрашенный в красный и белый цвета по спирали, служащий вывеской парикмахера
Easter Monday — второй день пасхи, первый понедельник после пасхи
Whit Tuesday — духов вторник (после духова дня; отмечается англиканской, церковью; до 60-х годов был нерабочим днем)
The huge slabs* and uprights* of stone at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire were somehow inched into position about four thousand years ago, in the Bronze Age. This prehistoric monument consists of two circles of huge stone blocks. Inside these are two groups of stones in the shape of a horseshoe. No written record exists of the origins of these features and they have always been surrounded by mystery.
At one time, people thought that Stonehenge was a Druid* temple*. The Druids were a Celtic religious group who were suppressed* in Great Britain soon after the Roman Conquest. Some people believe that they were a group of priests, while others regard them as medicine-men who practised human sacrifice* and cannibalism*. It is also thought that the circle of stones was an immense* temple in which to honour the sun god, and perhaps even to offer human sacrifice.
The theory saying that the Druids used Stonehenge as a temple is kept alive today by members of a group called the «Most Ancient Order of Druids». They perform mystic rites* at dawn on Midsummer's Day (24th June). Every year, they meet at Stonehenge to greet the first midsummer sunlight as it falls on the stones and they lay out symbolic elements of fire, water, bread, salt and a rose.
Scientists think that the early inhabitants of Britain were sun-worshippers; they thought of the sun as a god and they built Stonehenge in honour of that god.
On June 21st, the longest day of the year, the rising sun faces the open part of the horseshoe and shines on the centre stone.
There were many beliefs and superstitions* concerning Midsummer, often to do with happenings in the future: who was soon to die, and who was soon to marry. There is a bright yellow flower, rather like a little sun, which blooms around 24th June, and is called St. John's Wort. It was considered to have magical properties of driving away the evil spirit and fairy folk who were out working mischief on St. John's Eve. This flower was also used in love charms and to protect houses from fire and lightning. It was best gathered very early on St. John's Eve, while the dew* was still wet on it. If a girl slept with it under her pillow that night, she would dream of the man she was to marry. William Shakespeare wrote a play called A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which all sorts of tricks are played on human beings by mischievous* fairies and a hobgoblin* called Puck.
Midsummer was once one of the most popular highdays of the year, but gradually many of the customs connected with it have died out or been taken over by May Day, which is still celebrated in most countries of Europe.
