So, if I get this right - paver blocks on edge on a 4" concrete strip pad as skirting - that is unusual.
Could be cracking of the 4" strip slab because it is not embedded in the ground enough to be stable, was not built on properly graded and compacted base material, or it was not reinforced properly. Could also be the mobile home is putting some load on them causing cracking - either due to settlement of the trailer or just due to contact with the trailer combined with the moving around of people in the trailer.
However, if these are blocks on edge, with grouted joints and no reinforcing or interlocking joints, I would not expect them to last any time at all. Unfortunately, short of building a reinforced brick or building block or concete wall and then facing it with these if you wanted, I would not expect these to stand for any period of time.
You said "no other footings" - I hope that does not mean this is holding your mobile home up, because if it is you are sitting on a house of cards. The mobile home should NOT be supported no the skirting - that is just for appearance, to keep debris from blowing in under the trailer, keep rodents form taking up home there, and for insulation. The home itself should e properly supported on mobile home pillars or jacks, with proper tiedowns.
If these blocks are the only support for the home, I would suggest you find a reputable mobile home moving and installation company to get proper supports under there pronto.
BTW - your skirting should have ventilation - if solid block, you will likely start a mold or mushroom farm under there.

I meant no other footings under the 4" slab. It is set on blocks on the slab. They did put in vents, thank goodness. thank you for the contacts and the other info!

So as I read your response, the actual mobile home weight is born on blocks like concrete building blocks (hopefully stacked flat, not on end or edge) bearing on the same strip footer. Not exactly a to-code solution unless they are reinforced and grouted. This makes the paving blocks just a facade, right ? I would not count on mortar holding them in place - I would treat it as a facade, and either replace the breaking out mortar with an exterior epoxy adhesive as they fail, or maybe get in underneath and use construction adhesive (like liquid nails) to full-contact glue (yeah - a LOT of tubes to do that, so canned variety would be better) some long 2x4's - longer the better, and overlap ends several feet- along the back. Maybe a strip top and bottom - to hold them in line, then the grout just becomes a grout, like with tile - for looks only, not strength. A couple of inches of sprayed-on polyurethane insulation might hold them in place good too, if exposed insulation to ground level under a trailer is legal in your area and you do not have serious carpenter ant or termite issues. Course, this means the pavers will probably have to be broken free if you ever move the trailer, as some or many will break during breaking the backing free.Other alternative - scrap the blocks and turn them into a walk or path and use a more normal skirting material.

After countless times of visiting this restaurant, it never fails me.This round, been here with bunch of friends who just want to sit down, dine-in, chit chat and catch up, with good Chinese food, so here we are again, total 7 of us, at Tak Fok.Kepah Lala Soup (Large) - RM30Fresh lala, in freshly boiled (stock?) soup. Minced Fish Eggplant - RM20Who said we don't love green? Well, it's plant at least! Nothing to complaint about this dish, good, good. We are hungry!Braised Pork - Rm18One can easily fall in love with this dish, if you're a semi-fat pork lover. Soft, juicy, equally fat & lean meat.Steam Garlic EnokiAww! First time trying this dish and the squid was so fresh especially when it served with Kam Cham Mushroom, the squid tasted like bouncing in your mouth with the mushroom!Crispy Pepper Tofu - Best Snack ever. So appetizing!Marmite Chicken - RM24You just can't stop putting this into your mouth. Crispy yet juicy, well covered with Marmite and I was hoping if they can give me another bowl of Marmite sauce to dip with Overall the price is reasonable, I would say cheap if I could. Yum food, air-conditioned indoor serving especially in this hot and hazy weather, always my first choice whenever comes to Kepong Chinese Restaurant. continue reading

I was first told about how famous Tak Fok in Kepong is for crabs so I went there with my friend and mother. Unfortunately, it seemed we were not fated to eat there because the tables were so full that there were no table for us so we ended up eating at a nearby Thai restaurant. Later, I discovered that there was a Tak Fok branch at Jaya One which I got the chance to try in the end. I took my parents there several times. There was once I even tried the lobster for only RM 28 or RM 30! Can you imagine it? But the price has increased to RM 58 now. I have tried the cheese crab which I find it tasty but was too cheesy for my mother. Tonight, I did not know we were going to Tak Fok in Kepong so I just went along with my colleagues for my coleague's farewell. When we reached there, the shophouses looked familiar and it dawned on me that it was the same restaurant that I did not have the fate to eat at 1-2 years ago! 9 of us waited about 20 minutes for our table. Finally, there was an empty table for us, inside instead of outside. We ordered quite a lot of dishes such as Lala Fried Bihun, green vege, cheesy crab, salted egg crab, sweet and sour crab, mantou, signature homemade fried tofu, pork ribs, fried eko, coconut curry prawns. The best was the fried eko (mini baby lobster - the cheaper version) where the smell was incredible and the taste remarkable, cripsy, yet not too oily to the core. The curry prawns in coconut was not bad. The big prawns were fragrant. The curry had a faint taste of powdery curry though. The mantou dipped in cheesy sauce with some onions cooked together was quite tasty. I did not favour the salted egg crabs because I dislike salted eggs but my colleagues said that is the most famous dish here. As for the sweet and sour crab, it lost to Penang crabs served in kopitiam which was thicker and had more viscocity with a lot of eggs. Over here, the sauce looked like it contained half a can of Thai chilli sauce, where the sweetness was fake. Perhaps this is their best dish here. I would not order this as I can make this sauce myself. I usually order something that I am unable or too complicated to make at home. The signature fried homemade tofu was a winner. It was not soft but not too hard, just average in terms of hardness. It was simply addictive but the portion was just enough for nine of us so there was no chance of second tasting! For a person who dislikes pork like me, the prok ribs was amazing! Its smell was so fragrant and the taste and crisp made each bite pork heaven. I cannot even believe that me as a 10% carnivore would put it this way. The lala fried bihun was something very creative. The lala with a lot of lettuce and also my favourite bean sprouts and also cabbage have won my heart hands down. The combination of lala with all those was also creative hence this is a restaurant I would give 9/10 for creativity and innovation, key features which make an eatery unique.The green vegetables, though simple, was not overcooked and just nice. We had a great laugh with jokes till we were the last table. It seemed that farewell is also a chance for gathering with colleagues. We ended the night with supper at a nearby Pappa Rich having the Tong Yuen balls (RM 5.90 which was a bit weird and the green tang yuen looking like baby shrek monster balls and the dried longan too small. continue reading
Besides seafood and meat, the vegetables dish taste good as well.One of my favorite vegetable here is 马来风光 (fried kangkong). This dish is fried with belachan (chili), the taste is not really spicy but the spiciness is just nice. Even children can take this, but if too young then better don't let them try.With only this dish and white rice. I can settle 1 meal. continue reading

The Sket Dan, Yagi, and Ayumi meet in the media room. Yagi tells Ayumi the truth, and Bossun reveals that he called the real culprit over. The door opens to reveal Yoshimura. Bossun proposes that Yoshimura was intending to sell the DVD to other students, but accidentally left it in the media room, where Yagi found it. He then had to use Yagi's weakness in the note to make sure that she would not show the DVD to anyone else. Yoshimura denies the accusations, but Bossun tells him the proof should be on the DVD. He reasons that the culprit would not care whose hands the DVD fell into unless there was something that identified the culprit. Bossun plays the DVD and, as he predicted, Yoshimura's face is shown in a mirror near the end.
Yoshimura confesses to the crime, but tells the group that the administration would never believe them. However, it turns out that Switch had been recording and broadcasting their entire conversation to the school over the PA system. Kanegi comes in and takes Yoshimura away.
The midterm tests are postponed, and Yagi smiles as she thanks the Sket Dan for their help.

Loosen restrictions on message sizes in WebSocket server
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|ahf, dcf, arlolra
|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
ahf couldn't bootstrap beyond 25% when running his own client, broker, and WebSocket server (i.e., not using the public infrastructure). I asked him to try relaxing the message size limit in server.go:
-const maxMessageSize = 64 * 1024 +const maxMessageSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024
This enabled him to bootstrap to 100% at least once, but "it still doesn't work most of the times i bootstrap from a clean tor instance."
What I suspect is happening is that the browser proxy is sending WebSocket messages larger than 64 KB, which is causing the WebSocket server to error and tear down the connection. How much larger than 64 KB, I don't know. The underlying websocket package returns an error like
"frame payload length of %d exceeds maximum of %d"
but we currently throw away that error message as a precaution until we've audited error logs to ensure that IP addresses don't appear.
As an alternative to allowing larger messages at the server, we could try to ensure that proxies don't produce such over-large messages. Here, in
onClientToRelayMessage, we could break
recv into 64 KB chunks before pushing them onto
@c2rSchedule. In proxy-go, I suspect we are succeeding by accident: the code uses io.Copy, which must use an internal buffer smaller than 64 KB.
Taking a longer view, there's no good reason for a message size limit to exist at all. It stems from a time when I was naive in Go and didn't know how to provide an implementation that didn't buffer the entirety of each message in memory. The reason I wrote my own WebSocket implementation was that the other one that existed at the time, golang.org/x/net/websocket, had no limits on message size at all, and you could trivially DoS it (out of memory) by sending a 1 TB message. (Looks like this got fixed in 2016.) A good solution would be to rewrite our WebSocket library to provide a streaming interface without message buffering, so to investigate whether other WebSocket libraries like https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/websocket can do it.

I ran a browser proxy for a day and a half, with a patch to keep track of the size of WebSocket messages it was sending. I only got 5 or 6 sessions, but I didn't see any sends bigger than 32 KB. And messages that big only happened once the session was pretty well established, not at the beginning during bootstrapping. (Which makes sense, because the client doesn't upload much during bootstrapping.)
So while we could probably benefit from raising the limit a little, it doesn't seem so constraining that it would cause bootstrapping errors most of the time. Maybe a faster or slower network would have different buffering behavior and give different results, though.
new max message size 3656 new max message size 5227 new max message size 4077 new max message size 7283 new max message size 11909 new max message size 23940 new max message size 25418 new max message size 32768

Chelsea target Edouard Mendy returns to Rennes training with no agreement found for him to leave – and his club trying to get Fikayo Tomori packaged into the deal
- Edouard Mendy's imminent £25m move to Chelsea has been held up by Rennes
- The Ligue 1 outfit have made some last-minute demands over the transfer
- Rennes now want Blues defender Fikayo Tomori included as part of the deal
- Mendy was left out of Rennes' match at the weekend but has returned to training
Edouard Mendy's imminent move to Chelsea is reportedly being held up by Rennes who have made a last-minute demand to include Fikayo Tomori in the deal.
Mendy is set to become the seventh signing in an extraordinary summer of spending for Chelsea after Sportsmail revealed at the weekend they had agreed a £25million fee with the Ligue 1 side.
But while the details are being finalised, Rennes are now hoping to receive Tomori in return as they look to squeeze a little more out of the west London club, according to French news outlet Telefoot.
Edouard Mendy's imminent £25million move to Chelsea has been held up by Rennes
Tomori, who has been linked with a loan move away from Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea following the arrival of Thiago Silva earlier this summer.
Tomori has also been linked with a loan move with Everton but now Rennes are hoping to bring him in.
As a result of the late negotiations, Mendy has returned to training with the French club as he looks to keep up his fitness levels ahead of his switch.
Rennes now want Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori included as part of the deal for Mendy
Rennes have also reportedly tried to get Olivier Giroud as part of the deal for Mendy but the move was rejected by the Blues.
Mendy was initially pulled out of training on Friday after Chelsea's bid was accepted and was subsequently left out of Rennes' 4-2 victory against Nimes on Sunday.
He looks set to provide immediate competition for under-fire Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero.
Chelsea conceded 54 goals in 38 Premier League games last season and manager Frank Lampard wants Mendy to help eradicate such a poor record.
And the Chelsea boss may already been vindicated in his decision to sign Mendy after Spaniard Kepa made another blunder in their 3-1 win at Brighton.
Mendy will compete with Kepa Arrizabalaga, who made another blunder in the Brighton win
Leandro Trossard made it 1-1 when his long-range left-footed strike flew underneath the body of the 25-year-old on Monday evening, which according to Squawka was the 19th Premier League goal scored from outside the box he has conceded since arriving in England.
However, despite admitting after the game he remains happy with Kepa, Lampard appears close to signing Mendy.
The previous record fee for a goalkeeper moving from France to England was the £12.3m Chelsea paid to Rennes in 2004 for Petr Cech, who is now Chelsea's technical director and played a key role in Mendy's selection.

Question: Dear Luise: I was wondering what your thoughts are on a very difficult family situation that I am currently dealing with. I have 12 siblings, age range 40-65. My mother is 82 years old. She raised 13 children and is still today a vibrant, healthy and competent woman. Here's the issue: half of her children badmouth her, put her down, call her names and try and control her life. Even though she is still able and competent, they would like nothing more that to see her end her 20 year relationship with her partner and move into a senior living center by herself. The other half of her children cherish her, respect her and want her to live the last years of her life with some dignity and peace. The problem is that the hating siblings are constantly calling the loving siblings spewing their hate and negativity. One brother called my mother the day after she was released from the hospital and raged at her for an hour, threatening to "evict" her from her home (he, along with another brother provide financial support to my mother). The loving siblings in the family have come to a point where we avoid the haters at all cost, but this does not solve the problem. We still live in fear that they are putting too much emotional stress and burden on our aging mother. My eldest sister is the main "instigator" for the haters and this is why: Twenty years ago, my mother's spouse died. Around the same time my eldest sister's mother-in-law also died. At the suggesting of my oldest sister, my mother & my eldest sister's father-in-law started spending time together and being companions. They've been together over 20 years now, and about 5 years ago my eldest sister started saying she can't deal with them being together. She believe their relationship has ruined, in her word, "Her marital family." She will not let it go. She keeps going over it with anyone who will listen. A couple of the other hating children, just believe they had a horrible life growing up in such a large family and blame my mother for EVERYTHING that is wrong with them. On the other hand, while the loving siblings acknowledge that there were significant challenges and hardships related to growing up in such a large family, we are grateful that our parents managed to feed us every day and keep us together as a family unit, when there was no such thing as welfare from the state. We also embrace the good times and unique experiences we had because we had such a large family. I am currently looking into having a professionally mediated "family meeting" to see if anything can be resolved. I am completely skeptical that the hating siblings will apologize or change anything because they see themselves as self-righteous and blameless. I'd really like some input on how I can convey my feelings to them. My feelings are that I do not want to be subjected to their negativity any longer, but more importantly, I want to convey to them that I view their behaviors toward my mother as "elder abuse." I want to ensure that they understand that I (along with my other siblings who love my mother) will no longer tolerate them emotionally abusing our mother. Just a note of interest: It is mostly the older siblings of the family who are the haters, and the younger siblings are the lovers. I don't know why, but this is how the family is split. Thanks Luise, and God Bless you and all your efforts. C.
Answer: Dear C.: I am afraid no mediator is going to change the leopard's spots. In many smaller families there are adult children who refuse to be responsible for their mistakes and lay it all on "mom." It's the easiest way there is to never grow up. The self-righteous stuff goes with. I call it the "It's not my fault/be right Syndrome."
They aren't going to change. What they are doing and how they are acting works for them. What I would do is to get together with your loving siblings and create a home for your mom. Don't let her be dependent on them and think she has to take this. Move her out from the place where eviction is being threatened. There are many ways to go…I am 85 and my husband is in a nursing home. I live in low-income (HUD) housing and pay $408. a month including electricity. Before that I lived in a camping club and had two leased sites I moved my 5th wheel back and forth on to meet the requirement's there for 6 months maximum residency. There are parents who have no home and who rotate staying with their kids. Two months at each place…that isn't too long to have to deal with it.
Get creative. Rescue her and then get a restraining order if you have to stop the abuse. She deserves so much better. Find a way to give it to her. I want to tell you one more thing…you are a cut above and don't you ever forgot it. She is so lucky to have you. Blessings, Luise

Womerah Lane: Lives and Landscapes
Tom Carment
Thirty years in the making, Womerah Lane is a collection of stories, paintings and drawings that cover the period Tom Carment has lived in the inner-city suburb of Darlinghurst while travelling the country as a plein air artist.
Carment writes as he paints – from life – capturing the likeness of a particular place in time, or the moment when he sees something striking or strange. His paintings and drawings are small, limited by what he can carry with him on his travels. In his writing too he is a miniaturist working on a large scale. Free-flowing yet nuanced, his work evokes the places he visits – farms, beaches, cottages, building sites – and the people and objects he encounters, friends and strangers, the homeless and the famous, fish, typewriters and eggs. Each has its own story.
It is Carment's quiet determination to capture life as it passes, across all corners of the country, that makes this collection unique.

Minor Happenings: Indians Coordinator Talks Pitching
May 27, 2010 by Tony Lastoria · Leave a Comment
"Minor Happenings" is a weekly column which covers the important developments and news in the Indians farm system. While most of the information in this report is from my own research and through interviews I have conducted with organizational personnel, some information in this report is collected and summarized from the various news outlets that cover each team.
Time to get Minor Happenings back on track and in its normal Thursday afternoon slot. As a reminder, Paul Cousineau and I will be on the air tonight with another edition of "Smoke Signalsâ€. SportsTime Ohio will be airing the Columbus Clippers game tonight at 6:30 PM, so be sure to tune into our broadcast tonight from 8:30-9:30 PM while the game is on as we will be providing lots of flash analysis on several players who are potentially Cleveland bound very soon.
In case you missed it, I posted an article about the upcoming reality TV baseball show "The Natural†that I am a part of. It looks like it will be a lot of fun, and I will provide updates on the status of the show and my involvement over the coming months. Also, I just spoke with Indians Scouting Director John Mirabelli for an in-depth look into the draft process, a piece which should be up on Sunday or Monday.
I was out in Akron last Sunday to see the Double-A debut of highly touted right-handed Alex White. He looked very good, and I have some video of him (and others) which will be posting soon. Be on the lookout for that. Also, now that the reality TV piece and draft piece is almost finished, I will finally start pumping out some new player articles soon.
Onto the Happenings…(please pardon any typos this week!)
Indians Minor League Player of the Week
(for games from May 20th to May 26th)
Kyle Bellows (Third Baseman – Kinston)
High-A Kinston third baseman Kyle Bellows broke out of an offensive funk this past week to put up some impressive numbers, a sign that maybe he is starting to turn things around and will become more consistent at the plate as we roll to the end of the first half of the season. In 40 games this year he is hitting .273 with 4 HR, 20 RBI, and has a .770 OPS. Since May 1st he is hitting .283 with an .837 OPS, and one interesting split is that he hits well on the road (.314/.862) but has struggled at home in Grainger Stadium (.219/.645).
Bellows had a sensational game on Monday night in which he went 4-for-5 at the plate with 1 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, and 2 walks. His 15th inning grand slam home run was the difference in the game and helped propel Kinston to another victory. While his offense is just starting to come on, his defense has been solid to great all year. He shows excellent athleticism at the position, good range, and a strong arm and has used these tools to make several key plays all season to help assist in many Kinston victories.
While Bellows is the Player of the Week based on his overall performance and production, it is hard to overlook Double-A Akron outfielder Johnny Drennen who is just smoking hot right now. He went 11-for-19 (.579) for the week and has five multi-hit games in his last six games. The power stroke has been absent, but it's nice to see his stroke starting to return at the plate. On the season he is now hitting .310 with 2 HR, 11 RBI and has an .831 OPS in 33 games. More impressively, his 11 walks to 14 strikeouts is a huge improvement ratio-wise as compared to previous seasons. He's been in the system for so long because he was drafted out of high school, but people tend to forget he is still just 23-years old. He could be a late bloomer and will be interesting to see how he fares the rest of the season.
Honorable Mentions:
Jose Constanza (OF – COL): .368 (7-19), 1 R, 0 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
Johnny Drennen (OF – AKR): .579 (11-19), 2 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K
Nick Hagadone (LHP – KIN): 1-0, 2 G, 1.08 ERA, 8.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 7 BB, 13 K
Chun Chen (C – LC): .400 (10-25), 3 R, 6 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 6 RBI, 3 BB, 5 K
Previous Winners:
05/13 to 05/19: Carlos Santana (C – Columbus)
05/06 to 05/12: T.J. McFarland (LHP – Kinston)

Miller Talks Pitching
I recently had the chance to sit down for a long interview with Indians Minor League Pitching Coordinator Dave Miller and talk to him about several of the Indians' young pitching talent up and down the system, and here is what he had to say:
On Nick Hagadone: "Once May came around we bumped him up to 80 pitches. Obviously we will control his workload somewhat as we don't want to jump him up too many innings from last year to this year, but he is going to have an opportunity to go out there with 80 pitches and see how far he can go with that. Walks will always be on the high side with him not because he is wild, but because he gets a lot of swing and misses and gets a lot of foul balls. So, his walks will always be high and he is always going to be a high strikeout guy because he has natural stuff and is not going to give up a lot of hits. He has some walks this year, but they are not bad walks. Just walks where he has ran up some counts. He could certainly get better with that, but by no means is it alarming to us as it is not really an issue as his stuff is so good. We are definitely trying to challenge him to throw his slider for strikes early in the count and also use his changeup. It was the same situation with Bartolo Colon and Jaret Wright – guys who had dominating fastballs in the minor leagues – to challenge those guys to mix their changeup in. So one thing we'd like to see is for him to use his changeup more to right-handed hitters. It's not just a matter of staying healthy, but developing his secondary pitches, fastball command and also reading swings too."
On Alex White: "Yeah, he is absolutely [translating well to the pro game]. He has a great temperament on the mound as nothing seems to speed up on him and he is very focused. You see when guys get on base he is not trying to do too much and has a very good mound presence. He has a good feel for pitching and getting hitters out. Everybody talks about how they like his makeup right now with how he approaches his bullpens and how he approaches things when he is on the mound. He is a very confident kid and he is very composed when he is out there on the mound. He's been impressive for a guy in his first time out, but this is a guy who was one of the better college pitchers in the country so there was a reason for that and we are seeing that now. The slider has definitely gotten better. He is striking some guys out with it and showing the ability to throw it for strikes. His split is a weapon and he has a good fastball, it is just a matter that if he is going to flip a lineup three times to give him that third pitch for hitters to think about. So we challenged him to have consistent shape with the pitch, be able to throw it for strikes, and also be able to expand the strike zone with it. When he establishes his fastball at 93, 94, or 95 it speeds the hitters up and he can throw a slider off that and strike hitters out, so now he has three pitches he can strike a guy out with. For him to be a starting pitcher he is going to need a three pitch mix and we are happy where his slider is at right now."
On Hector Rondon: "Hector has got to get better with commanding his fastball. He has a swing-and-miss fastball and he [recently] struck out eight and didn't walk anybody. He can throw his fastball by guys, but when he is flipping a lineup three times he has got to have more consistency. His changeup is firm so we are working on softening it up a little bit, and we are also working on a consistent shape to his breaking ball as it is not consistent. He goes out there and usually the first time through a lineup he is pretty good, but it is just a matter of solidifying his secondary pitches. We are very excited about Hector as he is still young; it is just a matter of solidifying his secondary pitches so guys are not sitting on his fastball. He shows average [secondary stuff], it is just not there. When guys come over from Latin America we try to give them curveballs just because they are young and we don't want them to throw sliders as we think that is tougher on their elbow. As they mature we can give them a slider, and that's what we are doing now. We have taken that breaking ball and tried to develop it into a slider. It has just taken a little bit of time to develop that consistency. He can always be a bullpen guy, but we want to develop him as a starting pitcher."
On Trey Haley: "He has just made a lot of great strides, and he probably has the best arm in the organization. We are very excited about him just the way he is competing and the delivery looks very good. [Last year] he added a two seam fastball which has helped him out a lot. He and Mickey [Callaway] have been working on that two-seam fastball and it has really helped him out as he is getting a lot of groundballs and double plays. He is repeating his delivery and we told him to work on his mound presence and composure and he has gotten great with that. He has pitched seven innings [several times] on 80 pitches which is huge. Of course like every kid level to level they have to get better, but we are definitely excited about him. He came in this year after making a lot of strides in Instructional League and on his own and has a good mix going right now and is in a good spot."
On T.J. McFarland: "He is a high school kid who really came on in spring training. He has always had good stuff, but I don't think he realized how good it was and now he is starting to figure things out a little bit. He has a great sinker which is probably the best in the organization and he has velocity, is athletic and has a good slider. It was a perfect situation for him piggybacking with Nick [Hagadone], and now he has his own spot and is running with it. He is maturing and figuring things out, and is still young. The one thing that we have always tried to stress the past couple years to him is damage control. He always seems to have one inning where he gives up multiple runs and we stressed to him that he has to limit the damage in innings where it is just one run instead of two or three or four runs. In the second half of last year he got better at that, and this year he has been great and has really learned how to pitch."
On Austin Adams: "Austin is a guy we are really excited about it. He's a guy who didn't pitch a lot in college and played a lot of shortstop, but it translates because he is so athletic that he is easier to work with. He also has a good head on his shoulders and arm strength. It is just a matter of not doing too much too early as he hasn't pitched a lot. So we are limiting his pitches and innings right now just to keep his workload and pitches he throws each outing and try to control that a little bit. This is a kid who has a bright future because he has above average arm strength and throws 93-96 MPH consistently, and also shows an above average out pitch in a curveball and slider too.â€
On Joe Gardner: "[In his first start for Kinston], Joe was pitching on three days rest as he got rained out in his last start at Lake County going three innings and 32 pitches. So, we brought him back on three days rest and limited him to 70 pitches and he went out and got five innings with that. He gets a lot of groundballs and swing and misses with his sinker that is an above average pitch that is very good. He is another guy that has to develop his secondary pitches, but he is showing signs as having a good changeup and good slider. His fastball is very good as it is hard and heavy and he puts it on the ground a lot, so we are very excited about Joe."
On T.J. House: "He's been good. He is getting ground balls and striking guys out, it is just a matter of him being consistent from pitch 1 to pitch 95. He has a tendency to get a little flat, and that's when they start to put the ball in the air. We have just challenged him to repeat his delivery, stay focused pitch to pitch, and keep the ball down in the strike zone. He has pitches as he has an average fastball that is occasionally plus and he shows good makings of a slider and a good feel of a changeup. It is just that consistency. I told him that is that what big league guys do as you are in the minor leagues working to get to [that level of consistency]. He's in a good spot, he just has top be more consistent pitch to pitch, but the numbers are good right now."
On Bryce Stowell: "If you look at Bryce's college career he really had a huge jump in innings in his junior year in college. He came into spring training [last year] and got set back a little bit [with an injury]. I think we always thought he was a bullpen guy coming out of the draft, but we piggybacked him last year and he threw the ball good and had some success. This year he had a very good spring and now he is off to a great start. He has two swing-and-miss pitches and is developing a changeup. His fastball has swing-and-miss to it which is something you look for in all pitchers, he has some built in deception, and his slider is really good. This is a guy who can strike some guys out and he is going out there and having a lot of success. He's a major league bullpen guy."
On Zach Putnam: "Zach will now be in the bullpen. We told him [in spring training] the plan was to make sure he is developing consistent shape with his slider and the ability to throw it for strikes early in the count and being able to expand the zone with it. He did that and he accomplished [the goal] and now we can get him in the bullpen and see where he goes from there. He has pitches as he already had a fastball, changeup, and splitter. It was just a matter of something that went away from the right-hander and was a little softer and that he could throw for strikes."
On Josh Judy: "[He got hurt] in his last appearance in spring training as he just felt a little something in his elbow. It was minor and we took the conservative route just because of his youth and where he is at in his career which could of been a different story for a more veteran guy. He is definitely immediate major league depth, but of course he has got to perform."
On Mike Rayl: "He throws in the lower 90s guy and is just a big athletic left-handed guy that has a chance to get stronger and is already throwing [well]. Â He's definitely interesting."
On their pitching depth: "We had such a good draft last year pitching-wise and then we got all the pitching in the trades. It's good. I think we have depth at every level so you can keep reloading. It's exciting with the young arms we have."
Director's Cuts
Indians Farm Director Ross Atkins chimed in this week on two very notable promotions in the system and how they have fared so far:
On Alex White: "The pitches, the athleticism, and everything we saw as an amateur has been there [as well as] the intelligence and consistency. One of the things that stood out immediately with him is every time he picks up a baseball he takes it seriously. Whether it is a bullpen session or playing catch on his off days, he really values that time and recognizes that it is when he gets better. His bullpens are 40 pitches in length and it takes most pitchers 5-10 minutes [to complete], but often it takes him 15 minutes because he is treating it like a game setting. I'll be honest, it is the first time we have seen that with a player in his first year into professional baseball. Usually it is a being here two to three years and being talked to by two to three pitching coaches about it [before it sets in]. How he has handled his work and how he has handled the step to Akron and the Major League spring training setting is really promising of what a competitor he is."
On White's role down road: "It comes up because it is what we do as we talk about what is best for the players. We are developing him as a starter. We talk about that for every player in what is best and what are the alternatives. We've made the decision for Alex that we are going to develop him as a starter for the time being. He has the athleticism, he has shown durability, and he has pitched strong late into innings, so we are going to continue to do that until more information comes along that dictates otherwise."
On Nick Weglarz: "It is really what he has done over the last year and month and a half. Last year in Double-A, although his batting average was not as high as he would like to see it, his on-base percentage and ISO were among the best in the league. So having done that at such a young age and then having come into this year and having been pretty much the best player at that level we felt it was time to have him continue to be challenged and pushed him to Triple-A. He has handled it well and is squaring the ball up regularly as he hit the ball hard four times [Tuesday]. We will continue to challenge him to become not just an average left fielder, but the best left fielder he can be. We are doing everything for him in all aspects of his game just to make sure he becomes a major league player."
Coach's Corner: Aaron Holbert
During my visit to Myrtle Beach two weeks ago I had a chance to sit down with High-A Kinston manager Aaron Holbert and talk at length about several players on the team and how they are doing this year. Here is what was said:
On T.J. McFarland: "He has looked good all year and has made the proper adjustments to allow him to succeed. Some of the things that got him into trouble last year he has made those adjustments to ensure he does not make those same mistakes. He is making adjustments on the fly and has good sink on his fastball and his offspeed stuff has been lights out. He is keeping guys off balance, which is the main objective. The more he continues this the more confidence he is going to get to allow him to continue it through the rest of the season. I think it is just him being a year older and year wiser. This is Tony's (pitching coach Tony Arnold) second year with him also, and a few things Tony has mentioned to him with repeating his delivery and working on his pitches he has done. That's all you can ask of a player to work on those things and he is getting immediate success. Hopefully it continues and he doesn't digress in any way, but as long as he keeps working on all the proper things he should be fine the rest of the season."
On Jason Kipnis: "[The transition to second base] is going well. He is starting to really enjoy being out there, which is a good thing. He has had some success also which has helped as I am sure if he would have struggled and made lots of errors early he would have been ready to go back to the outfield. But he has played well, and he ranges easily hole to hole especially to his backhand side. He turns the double play well with the pivot from the left side of the infield. It is just a matter of keeping him out there with repetition everyday getting groundballs and understanding his assignments and where he needs to be on different plays on cut offs and relays. He is definitely taking it the right way to do the right things on a day to day basis. Offensively he is one of if not the big gun in the lineup that we depend on. He's been on-base a lot and has quality at bats which help inspire the rest of the lineup."
On Abner Abreu: "I hope he is coming out of it. He has had some struggles and we have talked to him. [Hitting Coach] Rouglas [Odor] has talked extensively with him about his approach, mindset and plan at the plate. You are starting to see a better attitude and understanding of the strike zone and improved plate discipline and a more confident hitter. I didn't see him in his first year in the GCL, so maybe he is a slow starter. Maybe that's him. Hopefully that is it and once June comes around he will start to find the zone and start to get more comfortable at the plate and seeing pitches better and putting the numbers up that we know he is capable of putting up."
On Donnie Webb: "He has been fine. He got hurt about halfway through spring training and missed almost two weeks. The first game that he played was the exhibition game against Lenoir Community College. He played the exhibition game and we had two days off and then the season started and he played 6-8 games and then reinjures the hamstring. He is just trying to get his feet back under him, needs to see pitches, needs to start zoning in on the strike zone and once he gets out there on a normal basis his numbers should climb."
On Jordan Henry: "He looks good and is the guy everybody said he was. This year is the first time I have seen him as I did not see him in instructional league or anything. He is exactly what he is as he is a guy who can run, works the count, makes pitchers throw pitches, and hardly ever swings early in the count. You'll see a lot of 3-2 counts and he will put the bat on the ball and put it in play to use his speed to beat out ground balls and soft singles to the outfield and a lot of base on balls. You'd love to see him drive some more balls into gaps, but as long as he is on base just let those big guys behind him drive him in."
On Kyle Bellows: "Defensively, he has done a great job. He has saved countless ballgames with his glove alone diving into holes and throwing guys out at the plate or backhanding balls down the line and then making perfect throws to second base for double plays. He is extremely confident out there, moves around well, and has a little funky arm action but is very accurate with it. At the plate he has a couple things with his swing as it gets a little long and he works under the ball a little bit and sometimes starts a little late which makes him a little longer and even more underneath. So myself, Rougie, Bruce [Fields] and Hudge (Dave Hudgens) are just trying to work on getting him ready and getting him started a little sooner and leveling out his swing a little bit and making sure he is a little shorter to the ball because when he is short to the ball we have really seen some balls jump off his bat."
Award Winners
Double-A Akron left-handed pitcher Scott Barnes was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the week ending May 23rd. He is the first Akron player this season to win a weekly award. He made just one start for the week, but it was one of the finest in his brief Double-A career as he threw five no-hit innings last Tuesday (May 18th) and earned his first win on the season in an Akron 2-0 victory. He struck out five batters and only walked four, inducing five groundball outs and six fly outs. He also threw a five-inning no-hitter earlier in the season on April 14th at Trenton. Overall this season in nine starts he is 1-5 with a 7.45 ERA (38.2 IP, 42 H, 23 BB, 39 K).
High-A Kinston right-handed pitcher Joe Gardner was named the Carolina League Pitcher of the Week for the week ending May 23rd as well. He picked up a win last Wednesday (May 19th) when he pitched six innings of one hit ball against the Salem Red Sox, striking out eight during the outing. He is the first Kinston player to win a Carolina League weekly award this season. Overall this season in ten combined starts with Low-A Lake County and Kinston he is 3-0 with a 2.51 ERA (46.2 IP, 27 H, 23 BB, 58 K).

About 21 centimetres long, the song thrush has a fairly short tail and is brown above and yellowish white below, densely sprinkled with black spots. The rusty colour of its underwings is sometimes visible in flight.
Northern populations are migratory, wintering in Western and Southern Europe. The song thrush can be found in lush woodland, parks and gardens throughout Europe.
The song thrush's nest is a well-concealed moss-covered bowl with a smooth grey interior of clay and dry grass. The thrush feeds on insects, snails and worms, often using a favourite stone on which to break open snail shells. The male's song is a loud, clear run of repeated phrases, and an individual male may have a repertoire of over 100. It can imitate other birds and even telephones. It has one of the loudest bird calls for its weight.

On some vacations, you need to rent a vehicle. Of course, you would prefer to spend vacation money on fun things: activities, dining or souvenirs. The good news is that with a little work, you can secure a good deal on your next car rental and save more of your vacation money for things that count.
Step 1
Book the car rental in advance of your trip. That way, you can keep an eye on the rates through the car rental company that you have chosen. If the rates drop between the date you book and the date you are supposed to pick up the car, cancel the original rental reservation and rebook at the lower rate.
Step 2
Ask about the cost of a weekly rental instead compared with a daily rental. Weekly rentals often have a lower price-per-day, and many rental companies offer the weekly rental rate for periods starting at five days.
Step 3
Check rates at several rental locations in your destination city. While the airport car rental desk might be the most convenient, the airport location might not have the best deal. If you find a lower rate at another location, remember to factor in the cost of transportation to get there as you calculate which site offers the best deal.
Step 4
Choose a vacation package that includes a car rental. By booking your flights, hotel and car rental together, you could save money overall. However, don't assume it's a better deal. Check the price of each item in a package deal to make sure you are really saving money.
Step 5
Use a third-party site, such as Travelocity or Expedia, to compare rates at car rental agencies. On Hotwire, you see the price and type of the car, such as compact or SUV, but you do not see the name of the rental company until after you have already paid. You can also try bidding a low price for a rental car on Priceline. As with Hotwire, if your bid is accepted, Priceline will immediately charge you for the rental, and the money is nonrefundable.

I will tell them I know nothing.
My heart pace quickens as the night draws near.
Voices in my head run rampant,
Like horse hooves pounding the wet pavement,
The carriage wheels spinning with speed and squeaking from ware.
I hear them coming for me.
Knocks thud like thunder and rain on my fragile wooden door.
Hidden corners deceive me,
I have no escape.
Screeching voices echo through my shallow halls,
The floors shake from the stomping of their rain soaked boots.
They have found me.
I tremble as the words escape my lips.
I tell them I know nothing.

Have you ever been caught off guard? You know, the times when you think you have finally nailed a good response for your child, to encourage a more harmonious atmosphere, and they catch you out – yet again!
Don't be surprised – and don't be too hard on yourself either. We react – it's an inbuilt life-sustaining function to react, especially when we are threatened. We shouldn't try for a lack of reaction, we should aim for a positive reaction, no matter what the circumstances.
Some gifted children tend to react, often unfavourably, to the actions of those that get too close to them. This could be close proximity – or closeness as in family members. When the going gets tough – it is often their loved ones they lash out at first – those they feel safe enough to be 'themselves' around.
Teaching how to react positively is something we can all benefit from. What is the source of our problem? What is happening to cause us to react the way we are? And what would be a more effective way to react?
Example: Think of the gifted older brother who has spent much time and energy building his Lego "dominion" – little buildings everywhere, all in their place, and all with their own particular importance. In comes younger brother – "destroyer of the dominion" – self-appointed to the position, and really effective at what he does!
Problem 1 – access. If little brother didn't have access, then WW3 might be allayed! Think about this before you start. Secure the site! But, if there is no solution to this one, then what about a few blocks to one side for little brother to build and break his own dominion?
Problem 2 – outrage. Yes, little brother will get wound up just as much as you if you raise your voice and start ordering him around. "Mum" will get an earful, yet again! Yelling about the problem without changing some of the inputs will never solve it!
Problem 3 – the age difference. Not something you can always do anything about, so learn to live with it. If you live on an island and the only way to get your food is to fish for it – you will soon teach yourself to fish. If you have a younger brother, you will have to learn to work out ways you and he can live in harmony in your home.
And for Mum, or Dad, (or teacher), who seems to live their life at the moment being referee from one battle to the next – cheer up. Trying to be one step ahead of your gifted child, to preserve harmony in the home or class is a very time-consuming practice. Be realistic! Allocate time for it. And allocate time for sitting down and scaffolding your child through a dilemma to show them how to deal with it. It will be well-spent time in the long run. Never tire of doing what is right.
And one day … you will see that the problems of yesterday, if acted upon today, can set up some good foundations for the future.

There are some movies that invent a genre to which their successors can only aspire. Jean Renoir's ensemble social satire The Rules of the Game is one. The Leopard, Luchino Visconti's sumptuous historical drama—and the most mutilated movie of 1963—is another.
More pageant than action film, less reconstruction than reverie, its artistry only comprehensible in the uncut Italian version showing for two weeks at Film Forum (it's also available on a Criterion DVD), The Leopard tracks a Sicilian prince (Burt Lancaster dubbed in Italian in a near career performance) amid the upheavals of the mid-19th-century risorgimento. The movie is an extraordinary combination of romantic sweep and obsessive detail. The winds change and the light shifts over an eternal landscape.
Confounding the truism that a great film can't be made from serious literature, The Leopard is a faithful adaptation of Giuseppe di Lampedusa's novel. Visconti does supply a few battle scenes, but what's perhaps most remarkable about the movie is that even while remaining outside Lancaster's prince, the whole spectacle seems to unfold in his mind. The Marxist aristo Visconti, who openly identified with the prince, never had better stars—Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon provide the beauty, Lancaster supplies the authority—or more appropriate material. The narrative turns on the class struggle between fading nobility and ascendant bourgeoisie; the characters embody the historical specificity of their age.
The Leopard is the greatest film of its kind made since World War II—its only rivals are Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Visconti's own Senso.

Lemon Barbecued Sea Bass recipe
PUBLISHED: 09:46 18 August 2014
Whole fish cook really well on a barbecue – just make sure that you have asked your fishmonger to gut, scale and remove the sharp spines
Serves 2
2 medium sized whole sea bass – gutted and prepared
3 lemons
Handful of herbs – choose from lemon thyme, dill, tarragon or flat leaf parsley
Olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Pre-heat your barbecue, if using a disposable one, you will need to wait till the flames die down and the charcoal has turned grey.
Slice two of the lemons and insert into the cavity of the fish. Divide your selection of herbs between the fish and place in the centre of the lemons.
Drizzle the lemon and herbs generously with olive oil and then brush the skin of the fish with plenty of olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Place each fish into a metal fish holder (you can get these from most supermarkets) and place gently over the coals.
Fresh fish cooks really quickly, so leave the sea bass cooking on one side for 5-7 minutes and then turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes. The fish is ready when the eyes turn opaque. Check by inserting the tip of a sharp knife into the flesh to see if it is cooked.
Just before you remove the fish from the barbeque, squeeze the juice of the third lemon generously over the fish, hear it sizzle and smell the delicious aroma.
If you can get hold of some samphire from the fishmonger – in season July and August - it is a great accompaniment to fish. Just make sure you rinse it really well and simmer in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. Drain well and toss in a little butter – but don't add salt, as it is naturally salty.
Serve with some hunks of crusty bread and some chilled white wine or fizz. An alfresco seaside feast!

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy-tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.
But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—and they'll quickly find that the only way out of a fairy tale . . . is to live through it.
