Whelps, Blizzcon's just about here! I decided to activate the crystal ball that is the WoW community in an effort to predict the news, events, activities, and happenings that would unveiled at this years Blizzard convention! You'll hear it from from the 3 of us along with other bloggers and the chemical catalyst that is the WoW Twitterati!
Dying for the return of Starcraft: Ghost. With the merger with Activision, wouldn't it just rock to see Ghost on the CoD 4 engine? We know that dual talent specs will be explained more. I think we'll hear a lot more from the class designers regarding design choices and intents for the various classes. I'm hoping for first shots of Arthas in Ice Crown but I believe that's unlikely to happen. Will definitely be paying a lot more attention to the raids and dungeons aspect of the convention. And it won't be Blizzcon without Starcraft and Diablo related news! I'll have multiple split screens set up so I can keep track of everything.
Here are Sydera's guesses at the announcements that might be made at the druid class discussion.
"Many people are concerned about the size of the big bear butt. We are as well, because we play druids, and we can't tank half as comfortably as we'd like with big fuzzy in our faces. So, we're instituting a new, improved, Slim Bear Butt form. Just apply a minor glyph, and your bear will morph into a lean, mean, streamlined-rear machine. The graphic comes with black and yellow bicycle shorts to further hold in bear cellulite. And remember, you can only eat [Raw Carrots] and [Celery Stalks] in Slim Butt Form. Side effects of this form include nausea, dizziness, and increased irritability. Those mobs had better watch out! They look tasty."
"Now that we've removed the 20% snare from Tree of Life, many of you Restos will never see caster form again–at least not while you raid. So, to respond to your aesthetic concerns, Tree of Life will shift colors every season. Shifting days will be tied to the closest Tuesday to the equinoxes and solstices. We are removing the Rotten Broccoli coloration entirely. Spring Form will have yellow-green leaves with blooming pink flowers, while Summer Form will be deep green with [Shiny Red Apples], Autumnal Form will have brilliant orange-red leaves that drift, one at a time, to the ground, and Winter Form will have no leaves at all, just a dusting of sparkling snow. We would like to thank Sydera for repeatedly posting this idea for us on the suggestion forums. We really could not have thought of it ourselves."
"We have recently heard that druids are quite proficient at 2v2 and 3v3 arenas. In fact, many in the gaming community consider druids' mobility to be overpowered for arena. So, just for druid arena players, we have decided to implement Potted Plant Form, a new shapeshift form that all druids will gain at level 80. Druids will no longer be able to heal in caster form or Tree of Life form in the arenas. Instead, they must use their new healing-specific arena form. In Potted Plant Form, which looks just like a window-box full of geraniums, druids' mobility is reduced by 100%, but their healing is also increased by 100%. Their resilience is buffed by 400%, but they cannot cast Lifebloom at all while shifted into Potted Plant Form. We think that the introduction of this new form will be exciting for players, particularly the forum trolls that haunt the druid class forms, making whiny emo posts every time some Druid-Warrior combo beats them in 2v2. Just especially for the arena druid, we will also be introducing the [Glyph of Potted Plant Form], which will attract cute little butterflies and chipmunks to your pretty red flowers. The butterflies and chipmunks apply a stacking spell haste buff of 10 spell haste per critter, which can stack up to 10 times."
Possibly another expansion after Wrath (unlikely to hear about it). Definitely hear more about Starcraft. The healing trees of all classes besides Priests will be removed and Priests will get a tanking tree :). Murlocs will be a playable race. Alliance and Horde will, for the first time ever, be able to talk to each other. Full slots of legendary grade items (On a side note, why aren't there any legendary items aside from weapons?).
Other Bloggers
Joveta: I predict a big announcement that's non-Wrath related. Maybe a date for the new Starcraft or Diablo (or both!). (It is Blizzcon, not WoWcon, after all)
Veneretio: My prediction is that the new spec system will include a sandbox area where you can pre-build specs and save them. This in conjunction with a single click respec feature would allow for easier, safer, faster respecs for maximum level characters.
Seri: Lots of wrath promo. New pvp info. Dual spec ui teaser for post-wrath. New Diablo info. Maybe a demo. Class panels with lots of QQ. Photos of drunken fanboys with devs and CMs. Pin the tail on the Tauren.Felicia Day sighting.
Lassirra: Naked Gnome races and Murloc rodeos!
The Twitterati
@Medros wow 4.0, updates on dual spec and dance studios, and general fanboi craziness
@shinmeko Blizzcon predictions: Alex and I get drunk, Felicia Day stuns nerds far and wide, and Starcraft never gets released.
@isheepthings from the blue feeds it looks like they will hash out a bit more about duel-spec mechanics. rest will be d3 news.
@Laikia i have a sneaking suspicion we'll all be a tad disappointed. But maybe a release date for Starcraft II
@honorshammer Tigole or Kalgan will make an offhand comment in one of the class Q&As that will get disected for days and days on the forums
@roflwolf I predict there's a potential for getting felicia day's autograph… assuming I can rely on my friends… so, probably not. lol! Otherwise, it's going to be E3 w/o the competition… whatever that means.
@eliah No big announcements. Overpriced collectible crap. I will stay up late posting.
@IcE_IcE_Luwin Jessica Alba will reveal she is a hardcore WoW player (plays a female dwarf priest)
@justanna someone, somewhere, will murder a murloc horribly. I predict chalk outlines, as this becomes a new Blizzcon trend.

HAVELOCK � Seasoned firefighters came together this past week to give more inexperienced members training on a practice fire in eastern Craven County.
HAVELOCK � Seasoned firefighters came together this past week to give more inexperienced members training on a practice fire in eastern Craven County.
The Harlowe Volunteer Fire Department led 38 firefighters from five departments as an old home owned by Kenneth Williams was intentionally set on fire, helping the volunteers learn the challenges of fighting a real house fire in a safer environment.
�The training is for a lot of the guys who are rookies and who have just got on the fire department, and they need the training just in case they go into a real scenario,� said Harlowe firefighter Theron McCabe, who served as safety officer for the fire. �It�s good training for all of us. Even the guys that have been on the job 15 or 20 years, there�s always some training you need to know. Safety comes first.�
The exercise took about four hours, with several small fires set with an accelerant and hay. Firefighters rushed in to put out the fire in different locations within the house.
�We�re trying to get half a room involved and go in and extinguish it with our live burn instructors that we have on scene,� said Jeremy Brown, chief of the Harlowe department. �Hopefully that will help protect property in the future if we get any structures that catch on fire accidentally. It will be a lot easier for us as a team to go in an extinguish it.�
Departments from Harlowe, Mill Creek, Harkers Island, Western Carteret, Township 6 and Havelock participated.
�The rookies have a certain level of training, a 1403 standard,� Brown said. �With that standard they are supposed to know how to wear air packs and how to use hose and that kind of stuff to actually extinguish a fire. Once they�re checked off on 1403, that gives them some incentive to go inside of the building versus standing outside of the building. Some of them have just gotten their certification, so they look forward to going inside with some of those that have been going inside. That makes them better firefighters in the future.�
Robert Foisy, a Western Carteret Fire and EMS member for seven years, said the training was good for everybody.
�I believe that when you�re inside the fire, you�ve got other guys behind your back letting you know what you did wrong and what you didn�t do wrong,� he said. �It makes you more proficient at your job and that�s what it�s about.�
Fellow Western Carteret Nick Shepard felt the same.
�I feel it�s great training for everybody,� he said. �It gives everybody the time to work together as a team and build your skills up as you go along and just practice as you would be in a regular fire. There�s really no routine fire, but you�ve got to be ready for anything that comes along at you.�
Natalie Taylor, a historian in the community, came out to watch along with about 50 others. Taylor said the house at 255 Godette School Road represented a piece of Craven County history.
�This is one of those old homes from Cherry Point,� she said. �I don�t know if it was the �50s or the �60s when they sold all these homes. A lot of people bought them and moved them to the various locations.�

Judy Clark enjoys sharing recipes and she's submitted a few to Simple and Delicious magazine from time to time. Until recently, however, she never saw one in print.
Judy, who serves as a nurse practitioner at Dr. William Gray's office in Morenci, sent in a recipe she called "Savory Mushroom and Herb Roast Pork" about a year and a half ago. She had mostly forgotten about it until a telephone call came in May.
"I was rather shocked," said the Addison resident, especially when she learned that her recipe would be a featured one and include her photograph. "It was a whole page with comments."
The recipe isn't one that Judy created, but she has altered it.
"It was a skillet recipe that had been given to my mom long ago," Judy said.
She enjoys experimenting and turned a skillet meal into a slow-cooker dinner. She also tried out some different spices to accompany the pork roast, carrots and corn.
To see the recipe, you'll have to get a copy of the August/September edition of Simple and Delicious. When her recipe was chosen for publication, she gave up the rights to it, Judy explained.
Thousands of recipes are submitted over the course of the year, so she was really pleased to have hers selected for the national publication.
"The fact that my friend saw it at a Winn-Dixie in Florida was neat," she said.

We are a company based in Barcelona with offices in several cities in Spain and outside of Spain. We fully manage most of our apartments to guarantee a great quality, a quality only Friendly Rentals can provide. We are able to offer a more personal and friendlier accommodation service with our apartments.
Our apartment rentals are comparable in price to hotels, but offer significantly more value and comfort.
We offer luxurious, ideally located apartments with more space, better ambiance and a more authentic feel than most hotels.
Each rental apartment has been hand picked for their central location and unique, comfortable and tasteful decor, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Our apartments appeal to travellers who appreciate a bit of extra space for meetings, extra family members, or relaxation, or just to soak up the true experience of living in the city of destination.
Our staff is made up of both native Spanish and foreigners who are happy to help any time during your holiday or with any questions you may have regarding either the apartment or your city of destination..
Our staff provides in house guides in all the apartments to give our guests essential local knowledge in order to really experience the true city.
Our priority is customer service and to focus on each guest's individual requirements and special requests in order to make their vacation a pleasant one.
Friendly Rentals apartments provide ideal accommodation for all travellers.Friendly Rentals offers a variety of unique, luxurious, apartments for short-term rental and corporate rentals.
Our vacation rentals offer significantly better value than hotels for both vacation and business travellers. Hotels charge hundreds for an anonymous room, while all our serviced apartments are spacious 1- or 2-bedroom flats in ideal neighbourhoods.
While many other accommodation firms offer short-term flat rentals, Friendly Rentals offers you tasteful, serviced apartments which we hand pick for their appeal and location.
We offer you all the convenience of a luxurious hotel with the character of a chic flat rental to make your accommodation experience memorable and unique.
Up to 25% CHEAPER than hotel rooms of equivalent standard
The rates you pay for a hotel room are often vastly inflated. This is because hotels usually have high expenses due to the range of services they offer such as in-house bars and restaurants, and a high wages bill due to the volume of staff required to run the hotel.
All these expenses have to be recouped from the customers (in the accommodation rates) in order for the hotel to make a profit. Furthermore, hotels will charge higher prices as guests tend to stay for just a few nights, after which time the hotel needs to resell the room. Apartment guests usually stay for longer periods so the cost of marketing and sales can be considerably lower than for a hotel.
Additionally, apartments offer further savings due to their flexibility - for example, when staying in a hotel, you often have to bear the potentially very expensive cost of eating in restaurants. With an apartment you will have your own kitchen, so that you may - if you wish - prepare your own meals with food bought from grocery stores or the local supermarket.

Eibach Race Car Coil Springs - Spring For The Win
Knowing The Basics Of Coil-Spring Technology Will Help You Get The Most For Your Caro
While coil springs seem simple, you may be surprised by how much you need to know to use them to go fast. Beyond the obvious buying springs with the spring rate you need for your application it is important to keep track of your springs so they don't lose their load capacity, because this will change the setup of the car.
Making ThemTo understand springs best, it's important to know how they're produced. Springs are made of either chrome-silicon or chrome-vanadium wire that is ordered or ground to exact sizes. These high-strength materials allow spring manufacturers to make the springs from small-diameter wire, which saves weight and allows for more spring travel before coil-bind. The diameter of the wire is critical to the rate the spring has when it is complete, so the diameter tolerances are within thousandths of an inch.
There are many ways to make a coil spring, but for racing most are wound around a mandrel, either hot- or cold-rolled, followed by grinding, heat-treating, shot-peening, and painting. Before it is painted, the spring is compressed once to coil-bind so the spring won't settle in the future.
Using ThemThere is a lot of talk about springs losing their rate from usage. This is a falsehood. Springs don't lose their rate. They can lose their free height, which results in a loss of load capacity. This is what racers describe as a spring that has "gone dead." To better understand this, here's an example from Richard Jonek at Eibach Springs in Irvine, California: "If a racer has a 200-in-lb coil spring that is 9 inches in length and has 5 inches of travel, that spring has a load capacity of 1,000 pounds. If the spring fatigues, ending up with a free height of 8.75 inches, it still has a 200-in-lb rate, but the travel has dropped to 4.75 inches. This changes the load capacity to 950 pounds."
The usual reason for loss of free height is the choice of materials or the manufacturing process. The best way to avoid the problem is to buy quality springs, measure them the moment they come out of the box, and mark the free height on the spring with a date or in a log book. Check the springs periodically to make sure they haven't lost their free height, and if they have, replace them.
Determining Spring RateTo determine the rate of a spring use this formula:Rate = G (d)4 / 8 (Dm)3(n)G = Modulus of Rigidity (psi)Chrome Silicone = 11.7 x 106Chrome Vanadium = 11.4 x 106D = Wire DiameterDm = Mean Diameter (this is the inside diameter plus the coil diameter)N = Total number of active coils plus 1.75-2.00 dead coils for two closed and ground ends or 1.35- 1.50 dead coils for one open end and one closed and ground end.

Love for plush animals is well-nigh universal among small children, but the way they express it differs from kid to kid. Take these two commenters on Twitter:
"I was that kid that took my favorite stuffed animal everywhere I went"
"I was that kid that would beat you up if you touched my favorite stuffed animal." read more
Another commenter writes that his four-year-old just wrapped his favorite plush toy in a blankie and is playing at being a Daddy, while another one writes that her toddler just disemboweled his favorite stuffed animal. Uh-oh.
Regardless of how your child expresses their devotion to their very favorite teddy, bunny, beanie, doggie, or dino, we've got plenty of fuzzy friends for your kid to hug and snuggle from infancy onwards.

Thanks for the input, it's greatly appreciated! Yea, I think for safety and with the possible heat issues, I think the external SSR is a better option for this project.

djousma------------ would this bypass work on the smoking tex 1400??
Also do you know if this controller would work and instead of the fan make it run the element?
They guy in China that makes the one on ebay suggested using the following controller that he makes called the "golden-rhino" the golden elephant on the bottom of the following page is no longer available.
Any thoughts?

I would also say that this is not a hard project to do at all, assuming you have some working electrical knowledge. But if you are not comfortable with that, maybe you have a buddy that is, and could assist. in all, took me about 2 hours, including the modifications to the smokin tex to cut the hole for the SSR, drill hole for new oven temp sensor, and mount the new on/off switch.
Joe, What did you end up doing for your smoker? And, Happy New Year!
You can't use the plastic clip that comes with the PID it won't fit in the box. What I did was put the PID in the face plate and use a small 1/2" long bead of RTV in four spot around inside of the plate to hold the PID in place. This worked as well as the clip and if you need to remove it just use a knife to trim off the RTV.

djousma, I too have a Smokin Tex 1400 for about two years now and have decided to follow your PID mods. The only questions I have is how you routed the wiring out of the PID project box back into the back of the unit. I'm assuming you went through the front plate where your toggle switch is located. For your low voltage (doorbell) wire, did you only use it from the PID to the SSR? Can't wait to finish the mods. It's a great built smoker but I want a little more stability in temp. swings. Also, when three of the four racks contain meat, temps. never got above 200.
I just drilled a hole in the front panel of the 1400 directly behind the pid box. Doorbell wire was used for PID to SSR signal connections, and the A/C power to the PID itself(low power draw). I also ran the lead for the oven temp probe through the same holes.
any wiring diagram to complete the transformation ? I like the idea you came up with and agree with your logic. Having the same trouble with my unit.

… So, the White Sox plan for Matsui is to stay under the radar as much as possible, trying to figure out where he fits on the roster and financially, with Williams again stressing how the club is pretty much at budget. But when Williams gets completely "serious" on a player, expect a decision shortly thereafter.
"Things move quickly one way or the other when I'm serious about something," Williams said. "We are in or we are out. You can't read into anything, whether we contact him or not contact him or whether we talk to an agent or not talk to an agent. All that means is we are not ready, one way or the other."

Kallis easily. in Test Cricket.
Tendulkar easily in ODI
Sachin in both form of the cricket

Obviously Kallis is a much better test batsmen currently. Over their full careers I would say Tendulkar was the better batsman but Kallis the better cricketer.
Now as a batsman? Kallis is the better test batsman atm, and Sachin ODI.
Overall as a batsman, Sachin in both forms. Simple as that.
"I am very happy and it will allow me to have lot more rice."

Kallis - 9,000 @ 58 in 110 Tests with 28 centuries.
Tendulkar - 11,000 @ 55 in 140 Tests with 37 centuries.
It's an interesting comparison, that has to be said especially when you throw in 219 wickets @ 30.

Kallis no comparison.
I think Kallis is a slightly better batsman, plus hes a great bowler.
Tendulkar cant really bowl.
both are world class batsmen.
a lot of people underrate kallis because of his batting style.
the removal of 'non test standard' stats is of course completely arbitrary crap.
tendulkar is the better batsman but there certainly isn't that big a difference as most people will lead you to believe.
In ODI's it's no contest.
Any day of the week at any time in history I'd take Kallis in a test match. No disrespect to SRT at all.

TV host David Tutera of "My Fair Wedding" has been accused of having a sex addiction by his soon-to-be ex-domestic partner, Ryan Jurica.
Tutera, 47, has built his brand on all things bridal as a wedding wizard of sorts, transforming clients' lackluster nuptials into celebrity-style affairs on his makeover show for WeTV.
He and Jurica had a ceremony in Vermont in September 2003 but separated on New Year's Day 2013, according to Tutera's Los Angeles County Superior Court filing obtained by People. The document cited "irreconcilable differences, with David seeking full custody of their unborn twins, visitation for Jurica and denial of spousal support, and asking Jurica to pay legal fees related to the split.
The wedding planner filed the court documents to end their decade-long partnership on April 19, but it turns out that two days prior, on April 17, Jurica had filed documents of his own to dissolve it. He claimed Tutera had an "addiction to sex" and "engaged in a pattern of hiring sex escorts and prostitutes to support his addiction."
"After repeated attempts at marriage counseling and therapy, we have been unable to save our relationship due to [David's] addiction to sex," Jurica said in court documents filed in Connecticut obtained by TMZ.
He is seeking spousal support from Tutera's alleged $1-million annual salary and is also demanding full custody of the twins, whom they are expecting via surrogate this summer.
Jurica also claims that he went into a downward spiral and checked himself into rehab after Tutera initiated the breakup.
The WeTV star has denied Jurica's allegations calling them "baseless" and "untrue."
"I am saddened by these developments; I am angered by the lies; and I am committed to moving beyond this painful moment to focus on my professional commitments and the upcoming birth of my children," Tutera said in a statement to Us Weekly and People.
"I will fight vigorously to defend my reputation in the court of law as well as the court of public opinion. I believe them to be fabrications of a desperate individual in order to gain a legal advantage in our separation."

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals have filled the NFL's final head coaching vacancy by hiring Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
The team confirmed the hiring in a release Thursday night.
The 60-year-old longtime assistant went 9-3 as Colts interim head coach while Chuck Pagano was undergoing treatment for leukemia last season.
Arians arrived in Arizona on Wednesday night, had dinner with top team officials, then interviewed on Thursday and met with reporters to indicate his interest in the job. He was offered and accepted the job Thursday night. Arians also was a finalist for the Chicago job that went to Marc Trestman.
Arians was the sixth known candidate interviewed to replace Ken Whisenhunt, who was fired after six seasons.

A devoted husband is celebrating St Valentine's Day by sending his beloved wife the same card he has posted to her - for the last 39 YEARS.
Ken Myers, a self-confessed romantic, began his unique way of saying 'I love you' back in 1979, six years after he married his sweetheart, Valerie.
READ MORE: Preston's city centre took on a romantic tinge this morning with a Valentine's themed installation.
The 77-year-old novelist writes a new message inside the card every year - which is now full of little love notes from the past three decades.
And Ken, of Leeds, West Yorks., even created the romantic card himself - he used to work as a card designer back in the 1970s.
He said: "I worked in the industry for around ten years and designed hundreds of cards, for big companies like Hallmark.
"I sent the card to Valerie in 1979, and then again in 1980. After that, I just carried on because it was a novelty.
"I like to think I'm a romantic husband. I am a member of the Romantic Novelists Association, so I'm a qualified romantic.
"I think Valerie would be disappointed if I came back one year with a different card. It's become a family heirloom."
Ken, who writes under the name Ken McCoy, has had 26 romantic and crime novels published, all set in Leeds in the 1940s and 50s.
He is also a popular after-dinner speaker.
His card, which reads "Happy Valentine's Day to my Wife", shows a boy offering his beloved a heart tied to a catapult.
But despite his romantic tendencies, he and Valerie - who have five children, 12 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren - are celebrating St Valentine's Day in a low key style by having a meal and exchanging cards.
Ken said: "My old card is brimming with messages but there's room for many more. It's got plenty of years left in it yet."
Valerie, 67, added: "I do love the card and it's become really special to me over the years. It's in very good condition.
"I always make sure it's in a safe place. One year, I put it in such a safe place that I couldn't find for a while afterwards.
"Ken is a very romantic husband. After almost 45 years of marriage, those little touches definitely help to keep the magic alive.
"I think the secret to a long and happy marriage is to be friends.
"When the first flushes of love disappear you have to like each other a lot. We make each other laugh.
"My health has deteriorated in the past couple of years and Ken has been a tower of strength.
"He is absolutely brilliant, he does everything, cooks and cleans, and he never grumbles. I really struck gold when I met Ken."

Taking a look back at the week that was in the SEC recruiting and looking ahead as teams build toward signing day, here is a peek at some of the top SEC recruiting storylines.
Nation's No. 4 to see Tuscaloosa
The nation's No. 4 prospect overall, Da'Shawn Hand (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge High), will make his official visit to Alabama this weekend after tripping to favorite Michigan in September. The 6-foor-4, 262-pound five-star will also officially visit Florida on Nov. 8 before announcing his decision on Nov. 14 at his high school.
Among the uncommitted unofficial visitors expected in Tuscaloosa this weekend are two-way lineman Charles Mosley (Brighton, Tenn./Brighton High), who is expected to decide between the Crimson Tide and in-state Tennessee, and ESPN 300 defensive tackle Elisha Shaw (Tucker, Ga./Tucker High), who has missed his senior season thus far with a neck injury.
Missouri trending with each 'W'
To say the last two weeks have been huge for the Missouri Tigers in the SEC would be an understatement. Already with 24 commits, including nine combined from Florida and Georgia, Gary Pinkel and staff are making the most of their growing momentum. The big news this week is ESPN 300 linebacker Brandon Lee (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence Central High) setting up an official visit to Columbia the weekend of Nov. 2, following this weekend's official to Virginia Tech. With a scheduled announcement on Nov. 8 and the Tigers receiving the last visit, things are certainly looking positive for the SEC East leader with the Hokies and Louisville the chief competition. Lee, who is set to graduate in December, previously visited California and is still considering Northwestern, Oregon and Penn State.
This weekend, Missouri will host an official visit for ESPN 300 defensive end Dewayne Hendrix (O'Fallon, Ill./O'Fallon Township High), while four-star linebacker Nile Sykes (Lombard, Ill./Montini Catholic High) visits unofficially. The 6-4, 260-pound Hendrix is considered a Tennessee lean with Missouri, Florida and possibly Southern California remaining in the mix. Sykes is considered a Missouri lean.
ESPN 300 defensive end Dante Sawyer (Suwannee, Ga./North Gwinnett High), who is ranked No. 40 overall, is likely to officially visit as well. Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia are also in the hunt for Sawyer.
The Tigers also continue to pursue ESPN 300 offensive linemen Brian Wallace (Saint Louis, Mo./Christian Brothers High), Ole Miss commitment Andy Bauer (Saint Louis, Mo./De Smet Jesuit High) and Roderick Johnson (Florrisant, Mo./Hazelwood Central High), as well as junior college defensive tackle Calvin Heurtelou (Scottsdale, Ariz./Scottsdale Community College), who is expected to choose between the Tigers and Tennessee.
Top SEC target visiting Ohio State
One of the top targets on the board at Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M is junior college offensive tackle Avery Gennesy (Southhaven, Miss./East Mississippi Community College). After making an official to College Station in September and Oxford and Knoxville the last two weekends, the 6-5, 315-pound tackle will be in Columbus this weekend to check out the undefeated Buckeyes.
Street to take in Ole Miss
ESPN 300 defensive end Kentavius Street (Greenville, N.C./Rose High) will make his first official visit this weekend, to Oxford to check out Ole Miss. The 6-3, 255-pound Street is also scheduled to officially visit Florida State on Nov. 1 and Miami (Fla.) on Nov. 17. NC State also remains very much in the mix, and is expected to receive an official visit from the No. 33 overall prospect.
Six SEC programs in the mix for Rudolph
Under Armour All-America wide receiver Travis Rudolph (West Palm Beach, Fla./Cardinal Newman High) continues to consider Florida State, Florida, Miami, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Vanderbilt and Ohio State. The 6-1, 188-pound Rudolph has already made official visits to Ohio State and Tennessee, and will likely make trips to Auburn and Alabama officially. While it's possible neither Florida State nor Florida receives an official, that is not a negative in the recruitment of Rudolph, especially when talking about the Seminoles. Rudolph has also spoken with the Hurricanes staff of late, and the relationship between the South Florida star and Miami has taken a turn for the positive.
Tennessee or South Carolina for Scott?
To say ESPN 300 running back Derrell Scott (Havelock, N.C./Havelock High) had an impressive official visit to Tennessee on Oct. 4 would be an understatement of epic proportions. Once thought to be a heavy South Carolina lean, the Gamecocks now have a serious fight on their hands heading into Scott's Nov. 16 official visit. While North Carolina, NC State and possibly Auburn will receive unofficial visits, this one is expected to be an SEC East battle at the end of the day.
Two SEC programs still in it with Malone
The No. 99 prospect in the ESPN 300, Josh Malone (Gallatin, Tenn./Station Camp High), has made official visits to Georgia and Tennessee thus far, and those are the only two SEC programs still with a shot at the talented playmaker. The 6-2, 190-pound wide receiver will officially visit Ohio State this weekend before making trips to Florida State and Clemson in November. Tennessee continues to be considered the favorite behind the scenes with a decision expected in December.
Speaks makes four for Ole Miss
The Ole Miss recruiting Class of 2014 features something rarely seen in recruiting -- four prospects from the same school committed to one university. ESPN 300 Rod Taylor (Jackson, Miss./Callaway High), four-star wide receiver Dayall Harris (Jackson, Miss./Callaway High), four-star defensive tackle Breeland Speaks (Jackson, Miss./Callaway High) and three-star versatile defender Ronald Walker (Jackson, Miss./Callaway High) have committed to the Rebels. Speaks completed the quartet on Monday.
Hogs could snag Goolsby
One of the top targets remaining on Arkansas' offensive board is tight end DeAndre Goolsby (Derby, Kan./Derby High). The 6-4, 225-pound Goolsby officially visited the Razorbacks on Oct. 12 following officials to Oklahoma, Florida and Ohio State. Kansas State also remains in the hunt for Goolsby, who expects to graduate in December.

OGC Web Services, Phase 3
1. OWS-3 Overview
Building on previous work in other OGC initiatives and technical working groups, OWS-3 participants worked collaboratively to extend the OGC baseline to enable an interoperable, multi-source decision support environment. The work addressed a rich set of requirements provided by OWS-3's sponsors. Sponsors include: BAE Systems, IONIC, GeoConnections (Canada), Lockheed Martin, MAGIC Services Initiative, National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NAVTEQ, Questerra, US Geological Survey (USGS) and other organizations.
Participants worked in the following areas:
The OWS-3 kickoff took place April 19-21, 2005 and the final demonstration of capabilities occured in October 2005.
OWS-3 is dedicated to memory and contributions of John Vincent.
The initiative manager was Chuck Heazel. For more information on the OWS-3 Initiative, please contact George Percivall, percivall [at] opengeospatial.org

2. OWS-3 Initiative Threads
2.1 - Common Architecture
The Common Architecture (CA) thread addresses issues, infrastructure and requirements necessary to integrate services implemented using OGC specifications into an operational Web Service enterprise. For OWS-3, the emphasis of the CA thread will be on capturing best practices and on extending the scope and capabilities of catalog services. These items are being addressed in the OWS-3 CA effort:
Framework of fundamental patterns and infrastructure services for implementation and deployment of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
2.2 - OGC Location Services
The OpenGIS Location Services (OpenLS) comprise an open platform for position access and location-based applications targeting mobile terminals. The OpenLS feature set is defined by "Core Services and Abstract Data Types (ADT)" that comprise this platform. The services are defined in two OGC specifications that are now in the RFC stage within OGC TC.
The OWS-3 OpenLS thread will
As part of OWS 3.0 we will continue to refine the protocol developed as part of OWS 2.0. We will also focus on creation of interoperable clients that go beyond the simple demonstration of OWS 2.0. Continuing research will be performed in areas called out in our report delivered as part of OWS 2.0.
Indoor-outdoor Navigation refers to the means for clients with mobile terminals to receive location and navigation guidance indoors or outdoors, as well as receive navigation guidance across indoor-outdoor and indoor-indoor transition points (e.g., doorways). Indoor location concepts must be supported for how people identify location for indoor environments, e.g., building, floor, room, etc. Indoor navigation concepts must also be supported for how people negotiate their way around indoor environments, e.g., park on level P1-P4, elevator to 3rd floor, right hall to room 310.
The present OpenLS services and information model are limited to outdoor navigation (i.e., the concepts of 'location' and 'navigation' are confined to outdoor activities.) An enhancement to the OpenLS services and information model is to support seamless indoor-outdoor navigation. The OpenLS services and information model will have to be modified to accommodate indoor location and navigation constructs.
2.3 - OGC Sensor Web Enablement
The Sensor Web subtask will mature the existing set of SWE work items to enable the federation of sensors, platforms and management infrastructure into a single sensor enterprise. This enterprise will enable the discovery and tasking of sensors as well as the delivery of sensor measurements regardless of sensor type and controlling organization. The ultimate vision is of a sensor market place where users can identify, evaluate, select and request a sensor collection regardless of sensor type, platform or owner.
The OGC Sensor Web Enablement framework has achieved a reasonable degree of maturity over the past two OWS interoperability initiatives (OWS-1 and OWS-2). At the same time, related efforts have been underway within the IEEE, Defense and Homeland Security communities. OWS-3 will integrate these complementary activities and develop a framework of standards and design patterns for building nationwide sensor networks.
Sponsors of the OWS-3 SWE thread have two primary goals. First of all, the sponsors have multiple, independent sensor and sensor support systems. It is their desire to integrate these systems allowing users to reach-out, access and use any sensor and any system. The second goal is to enable a "plug-and-play" sensor framework. There are existing specifications that enable plug-and-play, specifically IEEE 1451 and TransducerML. Integration of those specifications into the SWE framework would achieve that goal.
2.4 - Geo Decision Support Services (GeoDSS)
The Geo-Decision Support Services subtask will extend the DSS and Information Interoperability work done in OWS-2. One issue facing DSS systems is the ability to exchange and access geographic information within and across information communities (Information communities are groups that share common geographic terms and common spatial feature definitions). To address this issue, the GeoDSS subtask will leverage the Information Interoperability work from OWS-2 to explore ways to tailor geographic information for different information communities. The GeoDSS subtask will also build on the OWS-2 service chaining work to explore (in cooperation with the Sensor Web subtask) the integration and processing of geographic and sensor data to support an emergency response scenario. In addition, GeoDSS will develop new capabilities including a geoVideo service, XML schemas for moving objects and a portrayal service for feature data. Finally, GeoDSS will explore extensions/enhancements to the underlying OGC services to address a greater extent of emergency response scenarios.
One objective of geospatial web services is to allow decision makers to access and use information that was collected for other purposes. The GeoDSS thread will extend on existing OWS capabilities to better address the use of "unanticipated" information sources. The specific issues that need to be addressed are:
In OWS-3, the development of a GeoDSS Client will begin with the results of the OWS 1.2 Integrated Client for Multiple OGC-compliant Services (OGC Discussion Paper, document 03-021). The OWS1.2 Integrated Client was defined as a software application that provides common functionality for the discovery, retrieval, and handling of data from WMS, WFS, and WCS. At the core of the integrated client concept is the requirement to provide a unified environment that allows a user to simultaneously visualize, analyze, and/or edit data from multiple sources. The GeoDSS client will extend the OWS1.2 Integrated Client to include the services developed and enhanced through OWS-3.
Operational environments encounter data volume and performance issues that are not exposed in a prototype environment. The Investigations work item will look as some of the issues that have come to light as OWS technologies move into the operational sphere. The sponsors expect that these investigations will be conducted using well-structured experiments where dependent and independent variables are identified and controlled.
The specific investigations to be pursued under this work item are:
2.5 - Geospatial Digital Rights Management (GeoDRM)
After the introduction of the Web Mapping Service Specification in April 2000, important Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) components began to be developed. Today, in 2004, major parts of the SDI vision have become real. Implementation Specifications like the WMS, WFS, WCS, CS-W and GML can be used to build up global interoperable SDIs. Interoperable software products have been developed and deployed. The concept of a SDI based on OGC components has been proven with many realized SDIs worldwide.
From an economic point of view, a SDI provides the transport mechanism for trading/selling spatial content. The development of business models for trading spatial data has already started. The OGC, however, has not provided any interoperable trading capabilities. There is the risk that proprietary solutions could cut the SDI interoperability workflow. The OGC GeoDRM effort has been started to address this need. This thread of OWS-3 is a first step in developing the needed GeoDRM capabilities.
The objective of the GeoDRM thread in OWS-3 is to extend the "click-through" licensing concept for web sites to geospatial data services. In particular, click-through licensing techniques will be developed for the Web Map Service and Web Feature Service. This activity will be coordinated with the Feature Portrayal Service (FPS) work item in GeoDRM (paragraph 18.104.22.168.4) so that the techniques developed here can be readily applied to the FPS.
GeoDRM Planned Activities
3. OWS-3 Demonstration Scenario
This Appendix describes a fictitious scenario that provides context for a demonstration of the functionality to be developed in the OGC Interoperability Program (IP) Initiative, Open Web Services, Phase 3 (OWS-3).
In particular, it motivates the use of interfaces and encodings to be developed in the Common Architecture, Sensor Web, and Decision Support components of this Initiative in a fire-response scenario incorporating elements of a generic emergency It includes discovery and deployment of remote imaging and point in-situ sensors of various types, acquisition and processing of data obtained from them, integration of these data with other geospatial data assets, and ultimately analysis and portrayal that enables response coordinators to direct damage control and containment teams, provide bulletins to public safety agencies, and monitor the ongoing status of the blaze.
A fire monitoring facility in Southern California receives notification of a probable fire on the outskirts of a hypothetical community in the hills surrounding the Los Angeles basin. Further queries reveal that there is indeed a substantial conflagration. Its origin is unknown, but it has impinged upon a variety of industrial facilities at the edge of the inhabited area and breached a storage facility for a variety of industrial chemicals. Recognizing the risk that the resulting plume may contain toxic or low-level radioactive components in addition to the particulates and combustion products typical of a wildland fire, the professionals act quickly to find and deploy resources to track the plume and evaluate its composition, as well as to support the response effort.
Using the discovery features of a broadly capable Decision Support (DS) client, they initially call up a standard set of framework data including topography, population, the transportation network and elements of critical infrastructure for the surrounding region. Using this same client, [and also a specialized Sensor Web Client,] they search a Web-based catalog service (CS/W) known to federate a variety of other catalogs whose contents describe a wide range of sensor systems and sensor webs. They are able to restrict their queries to the geographic region of interest, to seek out sensors with certain known internal characteristics, and also to look for sensors based on their ability to detect certain toxins or other hazardous materials.
They discover a UAV facility that has deployable multispectral imaging capabilities, provides live feeds using geolocated video (geoVideo) service, and is also capable of carrying various point in-situ sensors suitable for detecting a variety of chemical species and radiation levels. The search also identifies a number of imaging instruments in spacecraft, a network of fixed meteorological sensors and a variety of services that stream data from networks of point in-situ sensors. (The operators do not know or need to know this, but some of the sensor services thus discovered support transducers that report their observations using TransducerML, while others conform to the IEEE 1451 specification.)
Data from some of the point in-situ sources needs to be processed or filtered so that, to the extent possible, it is delivered to the client in a consistent fashion with respect to units, observation time, or other parameters. The DS client's search capabilities are invoked to find web-based services that can perform the necessary operations, and then the client's service chain management features are used to invoke a [previously-constructed] chain that integrates these data into its working view of the affected area.
Mobile assets, including satellite-based services, ground-based mobile point in-situ units, and the UAV resource are queried via the DS client's SPS capabilities to learn whether and when they can collect information to help with evaluation or to support field operations. Available units are tasked to collect required information at selected times and locations. Data acquired from them are processed, again using [predefined] service chains invoked by the DS client, so that the client ultimately acquires as comprehensive a view of the emergency response region as time, resources, and technology permit. This view is updated in real time as suitably processed sensor data arrive. Critical features, danger zones, and predictions about the movement of the blaze and its plume are identified and distributed as needed.
The same information must be distributed to various organizations assisting with the response. These include military units as well as civil emergency response organizations. Bulletins and appropriate summaries must be distributed to the public and the media. Maps for the various groups must be symbolized differently. To make the work as easy as possible, the mapped information is distributed periodically in hardcopy and electronic form using two different stylings, one based on the Emergency Management Symbology specification, and the other based on MIL-STD 2525B. This is accomplished via the Feature Portrayal capability the DS client, which styles the information using two SLDs provided in a registry that has been provisioned for this purpose.
Specific scenarios demonstrating the above technologies might include the following:
[1] Sensor Observation Service (SOS), formerly known as Sensor Collection Service (SCS)

If SOPA's Main Target Is The Pirate Bay, It's Worth Pointing Out That ThePirateBay.org Is Immune From SOPA
from the just-saying... deptIn looking over Eric Goldman's excellent "linkwrap" of a bunch of recent SOPA/PIPA stories, it pointed me to a News.com article from last month, about how SOPA was really about going after one single site: The Pirate Bay. I've actually heard this repeatedly -- and from folks heavily involved with the bill itself. The whole point of the bill is to try to take down The Pirate Bay. Now, we can argue back and forth about how pointless that is... but there's something else that seems important:
As written, nothing in SOPA can touch ThePirateBay's main website, ThePirateBay.org
That's because the current version of the bill excludes any .com or .org. from being a target (though, they can be required to take action against other sites). This has caused some confusion, mainly because of the changes between the original version of SOPA and the "manager's amendment," which is the current version of the bill. The manager's amendment makes you jump through some hoops to understand this, but the key point is that a "U.S.-directed site" is defined to be a "foreign internet site" in the bill (in the original SOPA, a U.S.-directed site could be any site). Then, a foreign domain name is listed as not a "domestic domain" (keep hopping!), which itself is defined as "a domain name that is registered or assigned by a domain name registrar, domain name registry or other domain name registration authority that is located within a judicial district of the United States."
This means that all .com or .org domains are domestic, since they're assigned by a registry that is located within the US (for those confused, a domain registry is a company like VeriSign that runs the master database of all domains under a single top level domain). The thinking here is that (as ICE and the Justice Department have claimed) any website that has a TLD that is controlled by an American company can be dealt with via existing laws, such as the one that ICE uses to seize websites. .com is run by VeriSign, which is based in the US. And .org is run by the Public Interest Registry, which is also based in the US (Virginia, specifically).
That means that thepiratebay.org -- the main website for The Pirate Bay... is actually immune from the two key parts of SOPA (sections 102 and 103, since both clearly state that they only cover "U.S.-directed sites").
So, based on the law as written... The Pirate Bay is immune from SOPA (though, potentially not from ICE just seizing the domain). It's worth noting the same is true of both RapidShare and Megaupload -- two other sites frequently cited by the MPAA and the US Chamber of Commerce as the types of awful, evil sites that these bills are targeted to take down. In fact, remember that "53 billion visits to rogue websites" claim that the US Chamber of Commerce loves to repeat? Nearly half of that is from RapidShare and Megavideo/Megaupload. And yet, those sites are clearly excluded from SOPA based on the definitions. So why would they still be trotting them out as examples?

Hey guys.
trying to write a little script that will keep 2 numbers and will keep asking the user to enter a value until the value entered is one between the 2 numbers.
Just testing out some loops.
i guess the sample numbers can be anything - numbers(int min, int max){
just not sure how to do the do-while loop so it continues to ask for an input between them, lets say between 1 and 5.
any ideas.? i know its not a large script, maybe 5-9 lines, but just getting started.

To the people who are advocating "taking back Christmas" by saying "Merry Christmas" instead of the more "PC" Happy Holidays? With the subtext of "Keep Christ in Christmas"?
Personally, I don't like being told Merry Christmas, because I don't celebrate it, and don't wish to celebrate it. And I have a hard time responding. Could I say, "No, thanks"? Or "A Happy Diwali to you, too"? Or should I go with "Bah, humbug"? (Only in my grumpier moments).
I am SO tired of the so-called Christians who feel so persecuted that they need to impose THEIR beliefs and culture on those of us who want no part of it. And I'm tired of being polite.

My doctor and I wish each other a festive Festivus - stolen from Seinfeld's friend George's father.
"Festivus for the rest of us!"
I need to remember that. Better look up the Festivus traditions. Something about a pole, and complaining, as I recall. I like complaining.
Today I was at a big box home improvement store buying some new blinds. The clerk said of the overhead store music, "At least this year they are playing something traditional" I responded, "If I had to listen to that all day for the next month, I'd commit suicide". He just laughed.
Most of the people I deal with are in a professional setting, so I have to be noncommital and nice to all. So I am.
The boy scouts were selling something christmassy at the front of the grocery store. You literally had to walk around their table to get in, no way to avoid it. One boy scout more or less stood in front of me and asked if he could interest me in what they were selling. I said, in a pleasant, cheerful voice, I don't support homophobic organizations like the boy scouts, and walked around him without looking back. They didn't stop me again on my way out.
I feel sorry for kids in the Boy Scouts. It isn't their fault that some religious bigshots have taken over the scouts, and all the battles that have resulted affect the kids the most. But yeah, I wouldn't buy from them and support the Mormon church.
The context was someone posting on Facebook about taking Christmas back, and the details were pretty much as I posted above. It just irked the hell out of me. I don't WANT to say "you, too" to store employees who have been instructed to say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays", even though it isn't their fault. I don't want to take out my anger on them, and I don't want to be rude to them, but I am SO tired of the "Christian's" persecution complex, and their efforts to make everyone else bend to their will, especially at this season. Note that I put "Christian" in quotes, because I know a whole lot of kind, considerate, good people whom I recognize as good Christians, and the loony, evangelistic ones don't deserve the title.
Maybe we should get T-shirts printed up saying something like "Do Not Wish Me a Merry Christmas, (and I won't tell you to drop dead)!
LOVE it!!!! :-)

In her interview, Allie Meadows Baer talked about the interesting visitor to the Meadows' Trading Post in 1902. Earle R. Forrest, 19, from Pennsylvania, had longed to visit the Old West where he hoped to meet and photograph some cowboys and Indians. After learning "cowboying" at the Jim Trimble and Henry Morgan cow camp on Beaver Creek, it was arranged for him to visit the trading post where Trimble said there were plenty of Navajos.
Allie said, "In Old Navaholand with Camera was the book written by Earle Forrest. This book particularly talked about my parents' trading post. This young fellow wanted to come out to the "West" and he wanted to take up photography. After staying at the cow camps around Dolores, he was taken down to Navajo Springs for "Ration Day" and he was so interested in the Indians he just wanted to see more and get pictures of them.
"A friend of my dad's told him he would take him down to the 'Billy Meadows Store' and see if he couldn't stay down there for a while. He came down and my dad told him he could stay to get pictures of the real natives and the way they lived and dressed. My folks fixed him a place to sleep and our dad told him that he would get to meet a lot of different ones there if he would just wait for them to come to the store.
"They had this big grocery box (a huge thing) and they fixed it up for a darkroom. His darkroom was covered with a Navajo blanket to keep out the light. Forrest could not lift the blanket to ventilate it, so endured smothering temperatures in the summer heat while developing his photographs. The Indians were scared to death of the Kodak; they didn't want any pictures taken with the "magic black box with the evil eye" (lens). He thought if he could take pictures and show them (develop them there) they would know what it was.
"Finally the Indians got to coming and he just got all kinds of pictures taken. Mr. Hatch (Joe), who was the clerk, understood the Indians very well and he knew how crazy they were about their stuff in pawn, so he would tell the Indians that if they would let that fellow take their picture he would let them put on their six-shooters, big cowboy hats and their pawn. He kind of bribed them and they got so they weren't afraid and Forrest took all kinds of pictures.
"In late August, Forrest knew it was time to say 'farewell to our trading post and that he hoped to return the next year if possible.'
"About 1900 there was a Catholic Mission run by the Catholic Sisters called Seneca, New Mexico. They had a school there for the Indians and my dad paid for our older brothers to attend. About 1902 as the kids were getting older, my folks felt that they had to get into an area where there was a school, so they left the trading post and moved down into the 'lower valley.'
"Dad worked for Jim Frink, and old timer who ran cattle. We lived there for about five years and then moved down into McElmo Canyon. After we went to the canyon in 1913 there was such a big family of us and there was no middle school, just the upper and lower school, so the first thing they said was that there would just have to be another school built, as 'all of those Meadows kids a-coming--we just have to have more school.'
"They had a school meeting and finally decided to build the 'Battle Rock" school. I think it was about 1915 and they built the school. There was six of us at that time going to school. They had summer school before the Battle Rock School was built and we went there until the school was finished. Everyone donated their work and the Baxstroms, Pete and his son Harry, were good stone masons. They cut and quarried the rock from around the canyon as it was plentiful and then everyone turned out to help build the school. After it was finished they used to have dances and they got a piano and lights, too. They had a lot of box suppers and things like that to take up money for use at the school.
"The Indians used to come in and camp right by our place in the wintertime. I can remember our mother trading them a sack of flour for a sack of pinon nuts. Every year there would be a group of Indians come in there because it was nice and the weather was mild and they would stay all winter. We used to go out and watch them at their camps; they had a little tent; something like a teepee and they would be around the campfire. The property that my folks owned at McElmo Canyon is the place where my brother John lives now." (Now area of 12200 County Road G.)
