How does a nation remember war? What gets forgotten and why? What stories do museums and monuments tell about war, death, loss, heroism, and national pride? Join us as we explore museums, memorials and monuments that commemorate aspects of British involvement in WWI and WWII. From our home base at the college's house in Reading, we will visit London (only 40 minutes by train) to see the Imperial War Museum and Churchill's War Rooms, as well as many other memorials around the city. Other sites in the area include Chislehurst Caves, where civilians hid during the London air raids; Coventry Cathedral, whose bombed-out shell came to symbolize the severity of the wartime destruction, and Bletchley Park, where industrious code-breakers cracked the Nazis' secret messages.
We will also travel to WWI battlegrounds, Ypres and the Somme, in Belgium and Northern France. The course will meet for 7 weeks in Spring 2014 (the second half of the semester)

Carhartt Pants: Men's B290 NVY Navy Cotton Blend Twill Pants

Great pants for business casual functions...
By: kseverna
These Carhartt B290 navy cotton blend twill pants are great for occasions that require a certain level of decorum and class, but where you'll be hanging out with your buddies and don't want to feel stuffy all night. They look especially good with a crisp white button down and maybe a blazer, but they look great even with just a polo. Carhartt's offering of waist sizes and inseams, as usual, is a blessing in disguise, because no matter whether you're unusually tall or short or slim or husky (or normal!), they have a size for you. Highly recommended.

Lol no it doesn't. Every time you patch your client and click "Accept" to the EULA and ToS, you basically allow Blizzard to terminate your account for any reason at all, even no reason at all if they feel like it. So while you may have the freedom to do say/do anything you want, that's as long as you're willing to live with the potential consequences.
Dammit man, haven't you ever played Assassin's Creed? "Everything is permitted, nothing is forbidden"...but then the dirty second part to that, "but there's a price for everything you do."

A north suburban man who tried to abduct four young girls as they walked on the street Wednesday is behind bars on a $1 million bond Thursday after police say he was involved in an accident leaving the area.
About 5 p.m. Wednesday, the girls, ages 4 to 8, were walking in the 39100 block of Welsh Lane in Beach Park when a man drove up in car and asked them if they wanted a ride, according to a statement from he Lake County Sheriff's office.
The children said no and started to run, but the man chased them in his car until they got to the home of one of the girls, according to police. That girl's mother was able to identify the car as a black Toyota Camry and was also able to get the license plate number, which she game to police.
As officers were searching for the car, they were alerted to a hit-and-run accident at Wadsworth and Delany roads in which the black Camry was involved. Waukegan police arrested the suspect at the accident scene and turned him over to sheriff's officers.
Henry Wright, 29, of the 25000 block of Arcade Drive in Lake Villa, was charged with four counts of attempted aggravated kidnapping and four counts of child abduction, according to the sheriff's office.
He was also cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, failure to give aid or information, and driving with no insurance.
He is being held in the Lake County Jail on a $1 million bond, and is scheduled to appear in court May 3 in Waukegan.
Sheriff Mark Curran lauded the young girls for their quick thinking, saying in a statement: "I think the lessons of stranger danger are worth repeating."

Grammys: 'We wouldn't be here if it weren't for Paul and Ringo'
While the people behind the Grammys have increasingly focused attention on bridging generation gaps with programming, the awards also followed this formula.

The Grammys have decreased the number of awards shown on TV, which means although the "ceremony" hasn't even started, a lot of people have already won.
Grammys will be lip-licking good with LL Cool J
The last thing millions of viewers will be focused on while watching the Grammys is the awards themselves. What makes the Grammys are the performances.

DE PERE - The Union Hotel in De Pere has a stellar reputation for food and lodging, but there are some long lost relatives lurking in the shadows.
At least that's the rumor. Maino decided to pay a visit, and check it out for himself.
The Union Hotel has stood in the same spot in De Pere sinct 1883 in the present building. It's served everyone from Bob Hope when he would come to town to perform at the Old Carlton to every Packers head coach since Curly Lambeau.
But are some of the former owners more than just pictures on a wall?
Hotel owner/manager Mary Boyd says, "Antonia, yeah I think she likes to mess with the electrical systems here. She enjoys that a lot."
Mary is a true believer, but her brother McKim is somewhat of a skeptic.
"There's situations that come up that I generally come up with some sort of an explanation in my head, but the frequency with which some of them occur does make me scratch my head a little bit," he says.
Such as the one night in the basement. "I was in there working late at night and I happened to come out and that light that was on over here was out. And this is a motion light so I reach and that one was out. And I looked around the corner, those were all out and these were on different circuits, they weren't even on the same circuit. I was like, ahhh jeez, I'll go home," McKim says.
Or maybe it was Great Uncle Harry. "He supposedly stands at the top of the landing and overlooks everything. But follows everybody all over the place," Mary says.
Mary believes his presence may have shown up in some photos. "This is what we call ghost alley. And there's a really big ord, which I'm pretty sure is Harry. He hangs out down by his tool shop."
Some other mysteries, reports of a child's face appearing on a wall by different customers at different times, a motion activated paper towel machine going off when only one person is in the building, and an early morning weekend cook.
"He swears he'll hear the doors opening and closing, he'll go back to check and see who's here. Obviously it's nobody. And then he'll hear the pots and pans clanging back and forth, nobody there. So finally after about an hour or so, he'll say to them, 'You need to stop.'"

CHICAGO HEIGHTS | Teniya Page doesn't say much on the basketball court.
Instead, she lets her work do all the talking.
The catch is, quiet is what Marian Catholic coach Annie Byrne said is the one thing she wished her freshman point guard wasn't.
"Teniya needs to talk more on the court," Byrne said. "She is a freshman, so she is a little quiet, but we need her to talk more and shout out what is going on."
Page is the first freshman point guard to start for the Spartans since two-time Times Player of the Year Kaila Turner did so in the 2005-06 season. Turner, now at Notre Dame, was also shy, but helped lead the Spartans to a trip to the Class AA Elite Eight in the then-two class system. Page said she is learning to be more vocal.
"I know I need to talk more and I am," Page said. "I am learning the game at the high school level and I just didn't want to come in as a freshman and talk a lot. I realize you have to communicate if you are to be a point guard."
The Spartans face Marist at 7:30 p.m. today in one semifinal of the Class 4A Sandburg Sectional. Marist beat the Spartans 47-43 in December.
What Page said she had to really get used was the difference in play at the high school level. She got a taste of it when the Spartans opened against power Lincoln-Way East.
"Man, this was going real fast," Page said. "I had a shot blocked and everything moved so fast, but I am used to the pace now."
Page is averaging 6.3 points, 2.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.
Byrne said it was an adjustment, but Page is learning the game.
"She was used to practicing once or twice a week in grammar school and she played with us in the summer in AAU, but that is totally different," Byrne said. "She knows now how to step up her game and she is doing a great job of running things."
Page is also learning about the past great guards she is following, including Turner, Patrice King, Keisha Collins, Skye Johnson, Missy Mitidiero and Mary Basic to name a few. All have or are playing Division I college basketball.
"That is a great honor to play in this program with all its success and history," Page said. "There have been some great guards here, great players all around."
There may be another name to add to the list after four years.

The community thinks...
No Equal for the Hardcore Performance Enthusiast by PaulD from Texas on 07/10/2009. Trim: 2009 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Like my son told me when I was vacillating between buying a Z06 or a Viper..."Dad, everybody has a Corvette. Nobody has a Viper." I bought the Viper. I live in an upscale area and there are still only two or three Vipers around here. I go weeks without seeing another Viper. It is just a cut above from a driving experience and ownership standpoint. It looks different, drives different, is more radical, more scarce, just plain cooler than anything else out there.
Cons: You have to tolerate a lot to own a Viper if you are used to having a "streetable" car. Vipers get hot. You can burn yourself on that side exhaust, on the shifter, on the metal pedals on the trim in the interior...on just about everything. In the Summer, a Viper is not the kind of car to take out on a formal date. Even with the A/C blasting, it is a sweat box. The car is noisy...and not just road and exhaust noise; you hear everything. The exhaust sound is kind of marginal when you consider the HP and 10 cylinders? If I really jump on my Viper in 2nd (let alone 1st gear) I can get dangerous wheel hop. It is better to "walk" the car out, and then jump on it.
Overall review: Once you've owned a Viper, what do you do? I am afraid I am going to have to get another one when I wear this one out!

Ok.... Who signd up Vloggerheads for the Lima RSS news feed ????
John ?
Marcel ?
Just askin....
Views: 319
Nice articles... but what do you think of them ? I mean, other than we might be interested...
Why do you never state your opinion on said articles ? You know... a sentence or two...
Why it's important... what made you feel we need to read it... What caught your eye in the article ...
We could easily sign up for an RSS feed... I mean it wouldn't be from you, but you know, same difference, especially if you don't care to add a bit of your opinion as to why it's here...
To be fair from the 3,500 year old tree burning and after that I think the variety and interest of Lima's blogs has been much better.
I just don't like when people don't mix it up so much with the styles of blog.
Not that they have to for my sake at all.
Just stating what I like.
I actually meant in the last few weeks not the entirety of your work.
But.... you're welcome. :)
That's what I hope in my videos and blogs. That some will be at least entertaining and perhaps educational.
It feels like this comment chain went down one path when it might have easily gone down another. Jfry's post could have been intended more as an invitation to fuller participation because he is interested in Lima and her ideas, not as a criticism.
Lima is my primary source for news. :o) Sorry Bill Moyers.
Lima your articles are informative, entertaining, and enlightening.... but I'd rather read your opinion on just one of them than see 4 copy paste items.... I would find it more valuable....
Well, I don't disagree that some original commentary with the news stories would be nice.

Both Kersten and Erdahl were allotted time for initial comments. Then Erdahl was allowed a brief rebuttal. A lengthy question-and-answer session followed.
Erdahl began the event by sharing personal experiences explaining how he arrived at his present beliefs. He stated that he was an advocate of marriage but emphasized that he has come to the understanding that a persons sexual orientation is not their choice.
"I am a heterosexual, not because of my own choice; I personally am convinced that we do not choose our sexual orientation," he said.
Erdahl urged the church to re-examine its position on homosexuality. He said that the half-dozen texts in the Bible that deal with homosexuality cannot be understood through strict interpretation. Erdahl cited examples of the Bible condoning slavery and excluding women from the clergy as evidence that these passages need to be scrutinized by the Christian church.
"Ive studied the Bible and Ive listened to Biblical scholars," Erdahl said. "From them, Ive heard a mixed message. Some advocate for a traditional reading of the Bible, while some say that we need to take a new look at [homosexuality]. I believe that the Christian church needs to take a new look."
Erdahl also explained the ELCAs current position on homosexuality. The church prohibits the ordination of homosexuals, but the blessing of homosexual couples is left up to pastoral discretion. The ELCA is planning to revisit its position on homosexuality and the church in 2005.
"I personally believe that we should be ordaining them," Erdahl said.
Erdahl also shared his desire for unity within the church.
"It is my hope and prayer that we can be a church so united in Jesus Christ that we can live and work together in Christ despite our differences," Erdahl said.
Kersten focused her talk on the harmful effects that civil unions will have on society, as well as the unknown causes of homosexuality.
She said a sexual revolution of the 1960s began the deterioration of the traditional family structure. The number of marriages that ended in divorces and the number of children born out of wedlock sharply rose in the decades following. Kersten cited these occurrences and their ill effects on children as the proof of need for a return to traditional marriage instead of a radical redefinition of the institution.
"Sanctioning gay unions would be a grave mistake," Kersten said. "For the good of the next generation we should be working to preserve the structure of traditional marriage."
Kersten said that children would be the number one victims of civil unions ... She cited studies showing the necessity of children being raised by both a mother and a father.
Most counter studies that approve of children being raised in same-sex households, Kersten said, have been conducted with small sample sizes and completed by advocacy research groups that are trying to support a claim.
"It will take a generation for us to figure out just what the effects are to children who are raised in these [same-sex] households," Kersten said. "Back in the 1960s when there was a push for no-fault divorce, there were many scholars that supported it and even claimed that it would have no harmful effects on children, but now we look at divorce and we can all agree that it does harm children."
Discussing the nature of homosexuality, Kersten explained that very little is known about the complexity of sexual orientation.
Kersten compared homosexuality to schizophrenia, manic depression, alzheimers and other disorders of this nature a view that differs from that of many gay rights activists, who claim homosexuality is an inborn trait like race or gender.
Kersten, however, pointed to the fact that these claims were not based on scientific evidence.
Kersten also shared the results of studies done on identical twins, saying if there was a "gay gene" identical twins would be expected to have the same sexual orientation 100 percent of the time. Results of the studies, however, show sexual orientation was only the same 50 percent of the time.
In the question and answer session, students questioned Kersten about her categorization of homosexuality as a psychological disorder, noting that the American Psychological Association (APA) does not currently accept this view.
Kersten said out that until 1973 the APA did accept this view, but because of a consurted political effort in the 1970s headed by gay rights activists, not new scientific information, the APA was pressured to drop the categorization of homosexuality as a psychological disorder.
PACs next event will be a debate on civil liberties between former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan and American Civil Liberties Union President Nadine Strossen Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. in Boe Chapel.

Your kids will have a blast decorating this tasty fruit pizza. Fruits in an assortment of shapes and sizes allow your kids to make faces, designs, or fun shapes.
Let the piecrust come to room temperature per the package instructions, then unfold it onto a large cookie sheet or pizza pan.
Roll up edges of the crust, crimping them slightly so that they'll stay rolled up. Prick the crust lightly with a fork in about 20 places (allowing air to escape).
Bake the crust in a preheated 450 degree oven for about 9 minutes or until it's lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool.
As the crust bakes, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, adding just enough milk to make it spreadable. When the crust has cooled, spread on the cream-cheese mixture with a rubber spatula, bringing it to the edge of the pizza.
Arrange the fruit on the pizza and don't stint on the creativity. Your kids can make a wild mosaic or a fruit face. If they like, sprinkle the pizza with shredded coconut. Slice with a sharp knife and serve, or refrigerate. Serves 8.

The Montreal Canadiens will have their home opening game tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning and there are plenty of storylines to pay attention to.
Tampa traditionally represents a formidable challenge for the Canadiens, largely due to the presence of French-Canadian superstars including Vincent Lecavalier, Simon Gagne and Martin St. Louis. These guys just love to play against, and beat, the Habs, and year after year –whether their team is good or bad — they always make things difficult for the Canadiens.
Tonight, however, there are a ton of addition angles to this game, not least of which is the fact that this will be the Canadiens home opener.
The Canadiens are coming home with a one-and-one split on the road, buoyed by an outstanding effort by goaltender Carey Price, and you know that they want to provide their rabid fans with the first home win of the season. In addition, Brian Gionta will be playing his first home game as captain of the Canadiens and he is sure to want to keep that crowd smiling.
The Canadiens will be getting reinforcements on the back end in the form of Roman Hamrlik. His presence is sure to help stabilize a so far questionable — at times — defensive corp. On a similar note, very unofficial word from the Team 990's Tony Marinaro says that star defenseman, Andrei Markov, could make a return to the lineup as early at Saturday's match up against the Ottawa Senators.
But I digress.
Despite all of the drama, the storyline of the night is Tampa's coach Guy Boucher, coaching his first game against the Habs.
For those who have been hiding under a rock, Boucher previously coached the Canadiens AHL affiliate Hamilton Bulldogs, to within a game of the Calder Cup finals. Moreover, there was a lot of angst during the offseason when the Canadiens failed to make him part of the coaching staff in Montreal and instead opted to let him go to the Lightning. As Eric Engels previously pointed out, Boucher knows large swathes of this team from his days in Hamilton and he's sure to do everything in his power to down his former organization.
The other storyline that I feel will be most prominent, is the play of Carey Price. He started the season with a loss in Toronto on a solid goaltending performance but in a situation where his teammates simply could not score enough goals in front of him. Price followed up that performance with a stupendous 36 save effort two nights later in Pittsburgh, to steal two points from the Penguins.
After the game, Jacques Martin, in front of all of the other players in the dressing room, said that the victory belonged to Price, and he gave him the game puck to applause from his teammates. The move is a smart one by a veteran coach who knows that Price is a player who confidence is fragile and perhaps needs a little stroking.
So how will Price respond? Tune in tonight to find out.

[by Rob Kelley, Director of Brand Marketing - FootJoy]
Another 97 degree day is forecast for the first round of the 2008 AJGA FootJoy Invitational at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC. This tremendous event attracts 99 of the top junior players in the world representing 9 different countries.
Sedgefiled CC is steeped in history. A Donald Ross design, Sedgefield CC was the original home of the Greater Greensboro Open and hosted the event for 26 years. In 2007, a major restoration process took the course back to its original Donald Ross design, but added over 400 yards stretching it to more than 7,100 yards. This August, the PGA Tour will return to Sedgefield for the Wyndham Championship. Another cool fact: the Wyndham Championship will be the only Donald Ross designed course played on the PGA Tour this year. Click here to find out more on Sedgefield CC.
I have to give you a little insight as to the quality of these Junior players. Of the 99 competitors in the field, 49 have already committed to Division 1 colleges. The balance of this group are primarily High School underclassmen who are evaluating their future options. Yesterday, I had the honor of playing with Cory Whitsett of Houston, TX in the Junior-Am event. Cory is the #2 ranked Junior, and just a Sophomore in High School. I was brave enough to play with Cory from the tips (note: this event is played from the same tees as the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship). Among my friends back home, I'm considered a "long" player. Yesterday, I rarely hit my driver as far as Cory's 3-wood. Cory is LONG. He's a gifted young player who hits his 7 iron 200 yards and nearly jarred a 247 par 3 with a hybrid. More imporantly, Corey is truly a wondeful person and was a pleasure to play with. He remained very patient watching me and my playing partners struggle through this outstanding and challenging layout. As an eight handicap, I carded an 88 and walked away truly impressed with both the venue Sedgefield CC offers and the 99 outstanding AJGA players who will challenge its PGA Tour layout.
I would encourage you to follow the 2008 AJGA FootJoy Invitational through their live scoring site:
Check back for more updates,
Taiwan native and FJ wearer Yani Tseng became the first rookie in 10 years to win a major, besting Maria Hjorth with a birdie on the fourth hole of an all-FJ playoff at the McDonald's LPGA Championship. Tseng, a 19-year-old with a decorated amateur career, closed with a 4-under 68 to match Hjorth at 12-under 276. Tseng becomes the second-youngest woman to win a major.
Yani dialed in a pair of ReelFit shoes for her big win, while Maria wore a pair of limetta and white MyJoys. Check out women's ReelFit or start customizing your own pair of shoes at MyJoy.com.

SANDPOINT, Idaho -- Skiers and snowboarders can expect some improvements at Schweitzer Mountain this season. The resort invested around $1 million in special projects.
One of the projects includes moving and improving the old Starfish Terrain Park. The Southside Progression Park will be designed for intermediate riders.
Schweitzer managers are also trying to improve its appeal to ski racers. The resort staff has steepened some its race courses on the back side of the mountain.
Managers said they are also improving resort Wi-Fi in the village lower on the mountain. They are also working to build a new outdoor deck for Taps Bar.
Schweitzer leaders hopes to be open by Thanksgiving but that all depends on the weather.

There are a number of features that prevail to all software plans. First, they all provide an in-depth instruction guidebook that is surprisingly simple to use and follow. Secondly, they all have extremely friendly technological support that is offered without cost over the phone. In each case, I got in touch with technological support and asked inquiries about in fact publishing the free online survey software or hosting, and received polite, practical advice. Third, all package deals are relatively comparable from a performance perspective; they all allow avoid patterns, optional feedback confirmation to guarantee that specific questions are addressed or that the response is in a suitable variety, and lastly they all provide the capability to show answers to previous problems on the display.
This reveals that Enterprise survey software online producers could not take their customer base for given given that within a brief time, many of their customers, particularly the huge ones which produce the most earnings, plan to be making use of another person's software.
One of the strengths of this package is the style for outlining and presenting questions; you merely enter your problems and feasible feedbacks, and Sawtooth Software manages the formatting and survey layout, while offering the ability to change this formatting if desired.
An additional toughness of this package is the on the internet information management module. It permits a researcher to not simply monitor responses yet also to figure out frequency counts giving a practical approach of keeping an eye on the progression of the survey. Furthermore, a specialist could likewise provide a password to a customer, to make sure that they can tabulate frequencies, yet not provide the capacity to adjust or change password percentages.
This is a market where numerous items in day-to-day usage are quite long in the tooth. A bunch of pre-Windows tools are still being used, for example. As compared to these tools, it is uncomplicated to construct something internal which is better. That ignores the several products now available that use complex yet inevitably highly effective tiered architectures. While the outcome for the end customer could be a lot more easier-to-use and functional software, the job for the in-house designer, without the resources of a software business behind him or her, acquires harder.
Questions are constructed making use of drop-down menus and aid wizards that are common to several Windows-based software plans. The Fundamental Version of The Survey System is designed to interest all users; those outside of the conventional marketing research divisions could quickly develop a simple survey, while marketing research experts will certainly value the increased logical devices readily available from an add-on statistical module.
Among the nicest functions is the built-in spellchecker. For those people utilized to having this function in Microsoft Word, it is reassuring understanding that the opportunity of a typo is decreased. Likewise, an assortment of various questions kinds can be utilized, including grid-style tables.
In our record, we will certainly uncover some shocks in the reasons companies are using blended methods. We likewise subject some interesting global differences in just how companies source their examples online and check out the swift development of arising panel management software.
Think of the Customers
Given that this bundle belongs to an overall survey data collection device, it permits the customer the flexibility to swiftly alter from a Web-based survey to a paper survey. This performance makes developing and formatting the Web survey frustrating. Unlike the various other software tools, formatting or editing inquiries is difficult.
The reasons cited do seem to propose that a suitable percentage of market researchers put value on innovation and are not scared of change. The leading factors represent aspirational thinking towards enhancement, rather than responsive thinking brought on by being compelled to alter.
The Buck Stops Here
In any case, it is possible to release your very own survey. If this appears like also daunting a procedure, each of these software companies provides a fee-based organizing service, where you develop the survey utilizing their software, and then for a cost, they will certainly host it on their very own web servers – an appropriate solution if you do not have the time or disposition to do it on your own, however still desire to conduct Internet survey research. Get in touch with each of the providers to learn more.
In each situation, I contacted technical support and asked problems about actually holding or releasing the survey, and received well-mannered, useful suggestions. Third, all bundles are relatively similar from a functionality standpoint; they all permit skip designs, optional response verification to ensure that certain inquiries are responded to or that the feedback is in an appropriate array, and lastly they all supply the ability to reveal solutions to previous inquiries on the screen.
If this appears like as well baffling a process, each of these software business supplies a fee-based hosting service, where you create the survey utilizing their software, and then for a charge, they will host it on their own servers – an acceptable remedy if you do not have the time or inclination to do it yourself, but still desire to conduct Web survey study.

Djokovic favourite for Aussie Open four-peat
Novak Djokovic serves during an Australian Open practice session in Melbourne on January 12, 2014
While Serena Williams is the unbackable favourite for the women's trophy, Djokovic and Nadal, the world number one, are nearly inseparable at the top of the men's game.
When they last met in Melbourne in 2012, it took five hours and 53 minutes, the longest ever Grand Slam final, before Djokovic finally prevailed in five exhausting sets.
Nadal missed last year's Australian Open with injury but on his return, he denied Djokovic in the French Open semis and US Open final before supplanting him at the top of the rankings.
However, Djokovic beat Nadal convincingly in two deciders in the latter part of last season, including at the year-ending World Tour Finals, to seize back the psychological advantage.
"It is difficult to see Rafa losing to anyone other than Novak and possibly Andy Murray," Jim Courier told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.
"Novak Djokovic suffered some tough losses to Rafa last year but was able to beat the Spaniard twice in the fall so momentum in their rivalry is now on his side."
Djokovic has repeatedly shown his liking for the season's opening Grand Slam after winning his first major title in Melbourne in 2008 and reclaiming it in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The Serb, the only man to win three straight Australian Open championships since Roy Emerson claimed five in a row in the pre-professional era, also has the easier draw, with Stanislas Wawrinka and David Ferrer shaping as possible opponents.
Meanwhile, Nadal stands to meet Grand Slam champions in the form of Juan Martin del Potro and either Andy Murray or Roger Federer ahead of a potential final rematch with Djokovic.
All players are braced for extreme heat in the first week with temperatures set to soar above 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) from Tuesday onwards.
"I am expecting to play in big heat. You always have to expect because you can't really predict Melbourne's weather, it's changing a lot," Djokovic said.
"But I remember the 2008, 2009 and 2010, there were several days I played in extreme heat. So I know how tough it is."
Djokovic has hired Boris Becker as one of a number of celebrity coaches who will appear on the sidelines this year, including Stefan Edberg who is working with Federer.
The 17-time Grand Slam winner, now 32 and ranked sixth in the world, is considered an outsider for the title as he enters a record 57th consecutive major championship.
Wimbledon champion Murray is also tentatively returning to action following back surgery, putting a question mark over his bid to end a run of three final defeats in Melbourne.
In the women's draw, Williams' bid to match Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova's 18 Grand Slam titles looks strong after she lost just five times last year and won her warm-up event in Brisbane.
"It would mean a lot to be on the same level as such great players at Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova," said Williams.
"I still have a lot of work to do. I obviously want to be able to reach that level, but I'm not there yet. Hopefully I'll get there."
Victoria Azarenka is the defending women's champion while China's Li Na, the beaten finalist last year and in 2011, is hoping to land her second Grand Slam title.
