I have a 2001 Chevy P/U, 1500, 5.7 Engine, 2WD, Automatic Transmission. When it is below 40 degrees and I start it, it sounds almost like a diesel for the first 400 feet (approx.) then the sound goes away. Other than this problem it runs just fine. it doesn't make this sound when it is above 40 degrees. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Region 1 USA/CA (
Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone adapts author Don Winslow's best-selling novel into this all-star ensemble crime drama about a pair of peaceful, Laguna Beach marijuana dealers who are targeted for extortion by the ruthless Mexican Baja cartel. Ben (Aaron Johnson) is a devout Buddhist and dedicated philanthropist, and his best friend Chon (Taylor Kitsch) is a former mercenary who trained as a Navy SEAL. They may not seem like major drug dealers, but together they make a comfortable living selling top-quality marijuana. And they share more than just a profitable business; their mutual girlfriend O (Blake Lively) is more than enough woman for the two ambitious young entrepreneurs to handle. But just as Ben and Chun are feeling like they're on top of the world, their blissful life of lawless hedonism threatens to yield dire repercussions. The Mexican Baja cartel wants a piece of the action, and their cruel leader Elena (Salma Hayek) has dispatched her top hatchet man Lado (Benicio Del Toro) to ensure that she gets it. When the cartel kidnaps Ophelia and threatens to kill her unless Ben and Chun comply, the desperate pot dealers enlist the aid of a shady DEA agent (John Travolta) to try and avert a tragedy. Emile Hirsch and Uma Thurman also star.

Critic Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "Oliver Stone returns to his comfort zone in this blood-soaked, sex and drug-fueled ride....In fact, SAVAGES is one of Stone's best movies..."
Box Office
"This intense and unavoidably gory adaptation of Don Winslow's wild best-seller about the incursion of Mexican drug cartel mayhem into the United States has been made in a jagged, darkly trippy style that well expresses the story's tense uncertainties..."
Hollywood Reporter
"[T]his long, dense adventure takes surprising side trips into thoughtfulness, ruefulness, whimsy and romance. It's high-grade entertainment sustained by a buoyant spirit."
Wall Street Journal
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "A return to form for Stone's dark side, SAVAGES generates ruthless energy..."
Chicago Sun-Times
"SAVAGES is grandiose underworld pulp staged with screw-tightening skill and a taste for nasty kicks..." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
"[With] lush compositions and suave camera movements....The sumptuousness of the movie is among its chief delights..."
New York Times
"Lively continues her run as a young actress with an undeniable spark....She keys into Os vulnerability and her rich-girl guilelessness..."
"[T]he aesthetic attributes of its cast, along with some scene-stealing performances from the south-of-the-border side of its drug feud, give the film enough appeal..." -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- "Hayek, as the beyond-ruthless drug queenpin Elena, is the standout; a smirking death-goddess with a mile-long mean streak."
Total Film
"[A] movie with real pulpy pulse....SAVAGES is of a piece with the nothing-succeeds-like-excess rule of Stone's career, a recklessly alive movie with retina-burning, sunstroke cinematography..."

A statement delivered to the 67th General Assembly annual General Debate by the Prime Minister of Vanuatu, stressing that Vanuatu was among many countries in the region being negatively impacted by climate change, including coastal erosion, coral bleaching and ocean acidification. He expressed his wish to see the UN's assistance in facilitating effective responses to global climate change, particularly through the prompt implementation of adaptation measures, as well as mitigation efforts, climate change financing, capacity building, and international negotiations.
Beyond climate impacts, he urged to consider the potential for irrevocable damage that would be wrought on marine environments by pollution, and the projected increase in maritime traffic was only going to make matters worse. Vanuatu, therefore, called for remaining States that had not done so to ratify the London Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution and its Protocol. Those countries were also urged to put in place and enforce relevant legal measures.

I have spent time with my family. Consecutive days worth of time, without the buzz of work in my head, playing with my children all day, chatting with my wife at night. It was good, a little too much so, as I return to work and the grind.
I was bored and sought out a new job. It is a good job, actually it's in many ways the best I've held. The work is high level, relevant, and I like reading the judicial decisions and journal articles that form the intellectual underpinning of my daily bread and butter. But work is so often all or nothing, or as a famous KC (going back over a century) once said of being a barrister; all bed and no roses, or all roses and no bed.
I'd settle on a nice bundle of herbs and a reclining chair as a compromise...
So I went from having 1 page letters changed over and over by people who couldn't write, to being out on a limb running things well beyond my ordinary capability, and although I didn't take on the kind of hours common to the Paris end of Collins, 9 and a half hour lunchless day followed 9 and a half hour lunchless day, week after week, with my arse in the wind as I ran things well beyond my comfort zone, and I was often still staring out of a scratched train window as Mitts went to bed.
At the same time Beloved's work, family unfriendly at the best of times, went manic, and her official (ie paid) 3 days a week went from the usual 'in practice' 4 days over 3 to something approaching full time, picked up in late night telephone conferences and urgent documents turned around on weekends.
By the time we got on the Spirit of Tasmania, we'd just about had it. The holiday didn't start at that point, not with long delays getting on board, rough weather, and the realisation that for a boat full of families with kids they'd provided 1 tiny annex room with a few toys, while a huge casino area and multiple bars hosted a handful of over-serviced adults.
But once we'd cleared Tassie customs (all I can say is !! - they claim it's about fruit but I think it's just that the process remains as hectic as it was back a decade or two ago when aboriginals and homosexuals were being weeded out) we were off and for the next 10 days we were on the island, away, mobile phone (in my case anyway) largely left off, bantering with the kids about Santa, relatives, maps, music on the car stereo, and slowly losing the toxins of several crap months.
I barely thought about my father and his issues- I've been putting some work into that, an old suggestion of Zoe's, and am gradually bedding down the new paradigm (it's really just the old 'understanding', with some new clarity, after my stretch of hope and expectation that came with the kids). I barely thought about work.
Leaving this morning I realised how long it had been since I spent so much consecutive time with my family. I didn't get sick of it at all. I was not happy as I walked to the train. However, inside, I'm a whole sunbeam happier than I was a month or so ago.
Happy unears...

Tasha Tells All...On Why South County Princesses Should Leave Their Bubble
Every Monday, adult superstar/OC girl Tasha Reign gives us her thought on life, sex, politics, and everything else in-between. Today, Tasha weighs in on the South County bubble that formed her, that she loves--but that she urges all South County princesses like her to leave. Enjoy!
Of South County Princesses and Our Bubbles
By Tasha Reign
I love Orange County, especially my hometown of Laguna Beach. Its comforting bubble of surf, sun, and sand shaped me, its experiences giving me the rose-colored glasses I freely admit to wearing through life. I grew up believing that Laguna was a representation of communities everywhere, and that people just had a similar, or at least reflective, version of my childhood--call it naïveté if you want. I'll even be more honest: I never traveled to the "bad" O.C. cities like Santa Ana or La Habra until after high school, cities that too many people in Orange County make fun of without ever experiencing them, because they simply weren't part of my life.
Yep: I'm a South County princess, one of tens of thousands of girls who never went further north than Irvine or Corona del Mar.
For chrissakes, I dabbled as a high school cast member on the third season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County in 2006, the ultimate documentary of the Laguna bubble, filming the sensationalized reality drama every weekend with my girlfriends. It was a truly special and strange experience that I would never take back--I found it to be natural and not as far-fetched as it probably was. More importantly, that show was the spark that made me want to be in front of the camera--and leave my precious bubble.

Feeling very comfortable, content and cozy in Laguna during my first 18 years, I nevertheless decided to head north in 2007 and explore the unknown. I had made a meager attempt in 2005 to try out the world by attending the Stevenson School, a prestigious private school in Northern California, but that was merely replacing one bubble for another. Now, as a high school graduate, I knew it was time to mature, knowing that moving would be my next step into true adulthood. Laguna Beach gave me a certain skill set--a feeling of certainty and knowledge that I could do anything I set my mind to doing. That mindset programmed me to do the "right" thing like many other Laguna Beach High school students: graduate and then attend a university in hope of graduating and interning and getting an office job and so on and so on.
But upon moving to Los Angeles, I discovered that path wasn't for me. A sociology class at Santa Monica College made me realize there were all types of people, broken up into various classes: cultural, socioeconomic, work, and even sexual. The lectures taught me the necessity of critical thinking, of analyzing society, and being open to others: people, cities, and societies. Again, snicker if you must, but those revelations simply couldn't happen in the South County princess bubble, where the bubble that makes you stick to your class and your class alone and makes you follow the same routine puts a chokehold on your worldview and development.
Don't get me wrong: OC is my comfort food (grilled cheese from In 'n' Out, please!), but I realized upon arriving in Los Angeles that if I didn't taste what else was out there, I would never fully comprehend the deliciousness, the abstractness, of the world. My surroundings would have chained me to a certain maturity level, stop me from growing and pushing myself to feel out of my element--the only way to truly develop as an individual.
That's good advice for everyone, but this is for my fellow South County princesses: missing out on what else could be in the world for you just because it's not in your bubble is the greatest loss a girl from anywhere can suffer. Nothing is more complacent than being content, and nothing is more disappointing to see a young woman become comfortable before living life. Sure, settling down quickly sounds like fun, but it's important to explore your options, especially nowadays when equal opportunities have never been more equal. Explore who you are as a person, what your interests may be. Take classes you might never have thought of taking, and make calculated risks. Question yourself but never let others affect what will ultimately make you happy and fulfilled. In the supposed words of Abraham Lincoln "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Pushing yourself daily, feeling outside of your element is the only way to create positive change in your life. The more you live outside of the bubble, the more you understand the ideal of equal opportunity and equal outcome, the more you realize that they're important to society instead of just functioning as philosophical niceties. And besides, leaving the bubble doesn't mean rejecting the bubble for good. I love L.A.: this multicultural melting pot of a town broadens your horizons, enables people to reach their full potential. It's where I am supposed to be right now in my life, and making me a better person.
But I'm proud to come from Laguna, love how comfortable I feel when I'm there, how routine everything is, the gorgeous beaches and boutiques and restaurants, my family and friends and, of course, my French bulldog Stitch. I will always have a place in my heart for it, and I know I will return some day--but now as a better person, as someone who can tell those who never left the bubble what's on the other side, like Plato's man in a cave. My Los Angeles time is making me better, and South County princesses: you should do the same.
Or, you can always move to SanTana...

Rajasthan Royals' character is outstanding and helps them record unlikely victories, writes Nishad Pai Vaidya.
It takes great character and belief to take six wickets in eight balls at a stage when all seemed lost. But, you can trust the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to pull off such heists from time to time with all their resilience and the never-say-die attitude. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 has seen Rajasthan put in some good performances, but the victory against Kolkata Knight Riders at Ahmedabad would stand out for irrespective of the outcomes of their remaining games. Kolkata were cruising with their opening stand in place when Shane Watson and Pravin Tambe unleashed carnage.
This isn't the first time Rajasthan has pulled such a miraculous win. Back in 2009, the Mumbai Indians were left shell-shocked at Durban when they defended six runs from the last eight balls. Abhishek Nayar was in for Mumbai and there were four wickets in hand. But, out of nowhere, Shane Warne set attacking fields and didn't allow Mumbai to get away. The last over saw three wickets falling and Rajasthan clinched victory by a mere two runs.
Such performances reflect on the philosophy and the ethos of the side. Sure, they have undergone a few changes since 2009, but their value system behind building a team has remained unchanged. Described by many as the "moneyball" team, they believe in utilising resources to their fullest and bringing the best out of players. A lot has been said or written about the numerous youngsters who emerge from their side and gain confidence from the experience. But, there is so much in their backroom that influences their play on field.
Also Read
We may as well reflect on the intangible side of things. As they back these hungry youngsters, who are waiting to make a point, there is that insatiable desire for victory. These youngsters are usually successful domestic players, who do not get the same attention for their performances there. With that in mind, they have a crack at the impossible and that resilience is quite natural. When you have a few of them in your eleven, it automatically rubs off on the others. Plus, you have Shane Watson, the captain who is very much a part of this philosophy. Back in 2008, he came to the IPL to prove a point and he hasn't looked back since.
There are quite a few decisions taken by Rajasthan that have often defied logic. But, on close examination, it had a specific mark around it. Take the example of Tambe. Who would have picked a 41-year-old with no domestic experience? But a year down the line, he is their star. Also, they opened the batting with Ajinkya Rahane and Rahul Dravid for quite a while, players who are technically correct and may not score too fast. But, it did work wonders for them with the stability at the top.
Thus, Rajasthan stands out not for the players they unearth but all their ethics and the team culture that has remained intact since the first season. Men may come and go, but this institution lives on. Warne has truly left something remarkable at the IPL.

Whicker: Angels lose gatekeeper, valuable experience
In 1990 Tom Kotchman became the gatekeeper, the Sgt. Carter figure who greeted the raw Angels, just off the bus.
He was given just one four-word guide by farm director Bill Bavasi: "Assume they know nothing."
Assume they don't know the bus should be kept much cleaner than their own rusty Honda Civics.
Assume that dirty uniforms should go into one large pile, not 25 equally rancid small ones.
Assume they can't bunt, can't read a curveball, can't tip a waiter, can't handle a checkbook.
"When you open the door," Kotchman would tell them, "look back and see if somebody's coming, and hold it for them. Because then someone might think there's actually hope for this generation."
For two-month bursts Kotchman was the first manager. Many essential Angels were immersed in his program, at Boise or Provo-Orem.
"I didn't get Mike Trout," he said on Wednesday, laughing at the thought of having to indoctrinate the Rookie of the Year, but he did have Jarrod Washburn, Mark Trumbo, Erick Aybar, Alberto Callaspo, Joe Saunders, Jordan Walden and the list stretches beyond the Rockies.
On his first Boise team, the catcher hit eighth and the left fielder hit ninth. The catcher was Troy Percival, the left fielder Garret Anderson.
Over the past two months Kotchman has sifted through the memories in his Seminole, Fla., closet.
He is an Angel no more.
He resigned one day at Jupiter, Fla., in the middle of the Perfect Game showcase, and now he works for the Boston Red Sox.
He still will scout Florida during the winter and spring, and in the summer he will be in Fort Myers, on the coaching staff of another Rookie League team.
"I have to be careful," Kotchman said. "I'm still saying 'we' when I refer to the Angels."
Actually, the Angels are unofficially "they" to anyone who came up in Gene Autry's time, or even Bill Stoneman's.
Jerry Dipoto became general manager 14 months ago and suddenly everyone knew nothing again.
Three new minor league managers. A Midwest League switch from Cedar Rapids to Burlington. The dismissal of Zeke Zimmerman, Kotchman's sidekick pitching coach, and hitting coordinator Dick Schofield, the former Angels' shortstop.
There were other shufflings, all of them inevitable. The new president doesn't keep the old cabinet.
But if one thing wasn't broken and didn't require fixing, it was Kotchman.
He wasn't really fired. The Angels still valued his scouting. They wanted to curb his manager's gig, which "kept me sane," and gave the franchise a baseline that hardly anyone else had.
Kotchman also felt cramped by some executive involvement in his Florida scouting. That night in the Jupiter parking lot, he texted Dipoto goodbye.
No one has left a deeper imprint on Angels' scouting and development.
Kotchman's entry-level teams either won the regular season or the playoffs, or both, in 17 seasons.
But he was even more influential in the winter and spring, motoring around Florida, existing on coffee and Peter Frampton cassettes, and generally outworking – and out-networking – everyone else.
St. Johns River College was virgin territory for scouts before Howie Kendrick.came along, and Kotchman was one of the first to see him.
One day Kotchman went to scout a North Florida player. The opponent was Lincoln Memorial, a school in Tennessee. The Lincoln coach mentioned a closer who probably wouldn't throw for a day or two "since he threw 240 pitches last time out." Scot Shields took that rakish delivery and that imperishable arm into 491 major league games, all for the Angels.
Shields was a 38th-round pick. Orlando Palmeiro was a 33rd-round pick who was in two World Series. Bobby Wilson was a 48th-round pick who has played in 191 major league games.
Michael Kohn was a 13th-round pick from College of Charleston, where Kotchman's daughter was attending. Kotchman paid her $200 to get Kohn's radar gun readings. Then she took friends to a steak house for a $100 dinner, got food poisoning, and was billed $200 by the doctors. "That's scouting for you," Kotchman said.
Eduardo Perez, from Florida State, played for Kotchman at Boise and called him his second father. "And you know who his first father is," Kotchman said, referring to Tony, the Hall of Famer.
Perez and Todd Greene and Wes Crawford were among those who called Kotchman last month. Crawford went 5-1 for Boise in 1999. He spent only three years in organized baseball and is now coaching at a junior college in Minnesota, but Kotchman still had his number in "my Tom Selleck flip phone."
That's a lot of "we" to de-program, a lot of baseball lives to put behind. The best double-threat in baseball's subterranean world now works for the Red Sox.
You would be correct in assuming they knew something.

Hart has degrees in English literature and creative writing and is a published writer of literary themes. In this essay, Hart ponders the inspiration behind Dickinson's poem in an attempt to identify the allusion to madness.
Many literary critics and literary historians believe that Ralph Waldo Emerson influenced Dickinson. Knowing even the vaguest details of Dickinson's reclusive life reinforces this conclusion, as Emerson encouraged a pulling into oneself by limiting social contacts. Emerson also, as espoused in his essay "Self-Reliance," advocated individualism. Reading Dickinson's poem "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense," with Emerson's writing in mind, influences the reader to interpret this poem in a way that might illustrate a rebellious nature in Dickinson. Between the lines, the reader can envision a young poet who is determined to defy the majority rule and is willing to fight for her individuality. However, when this poem is read with some...

Two people were arrested and an arrest warrant was issued for a third person after a burglary yesterday at a West Toledo residence where police found more than 40 marijuana plants.
Police charged Clayton A. Carpenter, 19, of Lambertville, with burglary to the residence, 3940 Revere Drive. Joy G. Webster, 19, of the Revere address, was charged with drug abuse/possession of marijuana and illegal cultivation of marijuana.
Warrants have been issued for Nicholas J. Barnes, 23, also of the Revere address, charging him with drug abuse/possession of marijuana and illegal cultivation of marijuana.
Police were sent to the address on a burglary call and found the plants growing in a spare bedroom. They confiscated the two-inch-tall plants, which at full maturity would have had an estimated street value of $68,800, Sgt. Bob Marzec said.

Water Moccasin Kevlar Kayaking Socks
Shopping Info
Stohlquist Water Moccasin Kevlar Socks - The Water Moccasin Socks are a classic moccasin design brought full circle into a high tech neoprene sock for paddlers and stand-up paddleboarders. These socks give both intimate contact foot control and fit easily into the smallest of play-boat front quarters. The unique Kevlar sole rolls up around the foot on all sides with a simple gathered seam in a style originating among North American Indians. All assembly seams are set high so you're not rubbing against them with each step or shifting in your boat. The Kevlar soles also give you great comfort and control when SUP'ing, too! And when you need to portage, the socks slide easily inside sandals to keep your feet warm and protected for longer hikes. When you're looking for more than a sock but not quite a shoe then look no further than the Water Moccasins. Sizing:
Water Moccasins are the perfect pair of boater socks! They are nice and warm with a Kevlar sole so I don't freak out if I walk with em (I've worn a hole in several pairs of neoprene socks, but not these!) They don't slip on my ankle or shift around on my foot. Good find!

Very pleased and happy with the purchase of these socks / shoes. Bought them so I could enter a kayak from cold water and still use and feel my rudder pedals. Feet were very warm and comfortable in both cold water and the kayak.

Newman Lake, Washington
Very, Very comfortable. Warm in cold water and although it is still spring in the N.W. they have not over heated my feet in the kayak yet. Like them alot.
Excellent for low volume kayaks.

Forgot to add: ALL PREVIOUS savegames will be INCOMPATIBLE with the game now. That's the UNSOLVEABLE problem (you'll have to start the new game).
Hint. If you don't have enough space for the text (i.e. 5x48 is not enough), then... you can simply ADD new string (and DELETE some of them if necessary)! --- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- { 0} - end of string, end of table entry, end of item ??? { 1} - set cursor at the next line (Return) { 2} - end of text string byte 1, player click parser ??? { 3} - end of text string byte 2, player click parser ??? { 4} - ??? { 5} - unterminated string byte 1 ??? { 11} - begin of command selection ??? { 12} - append string ??? { 13} - begin of voice file identifier { 14} - text window type (speech dialog), Clear Screen instruction? {128} - unterminated string byte 2 ??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example (decompiled script): {14}{5}{128}{0}{0}The string is too long...{2}{3}{0} --->>> {14}{5}{128}{0}{0}The string is too long...{2}{3}{14}{5}{128}{0}{0}...so we have splitted it.{2}{3}{0} 128 (integer) is a 80 in hex (use the Calculator to convert the values if you want). A few other examples: Simple string -- {14}{5}{128}{0}{0}This is a testing string.{2}{3} Simple multilined string -- {14}{5}{128}{0}{0}This is {1}a testing {1}string.{2}{3} Simple dialog string (default for player) -- {14}{5}{128}{0}{0}[Player]{1}This is a testing string.{2}{3} {13}WAVEFILE{0} makes the string voiced, so... Simple voiced dialog string -- {14}{13}WAVEFILE{0}{5}{128}{0}{0}[Girl]{1}This is simply a test!{2}{3} WAVEFILE is the name of WAF file in the voices.dat (without WAF extension). |

This is for never7, where only 0-5 11,12 are in the script, but in that {4} is some kind of delay for showing the following text. {5} is the color followed by 8x 00 00 8y 00 00 where x and y are 7 bit palette indexes, and {11} stands before the choices of an answer:
{5:0,2}{11:1}『だって今日は、カレーでしょ?』{1} {11:2}『だって今日は、クリームシチューでしょ?』{1} {11:3}『だって今日は、肉ジャガでしょ?』{1} {0} I don't know about {12}, it's single byte. PS. Funny that I also used curly braces in my output file |

Now if you're asking about re-playability, it took me 50+ hours to beat it because the true ending can only be obtain once you've unlocked all the good endings (2 for Takashi and 2 for Kid) so it took a while to piece everything together. This game is worth every penny you're going to spend for it. ^_~ |

To be honest, I played this game as an anime. Since I don't like to mix interaction and a good story (if I want to play I want to play, if I want to read and live a beautiful story I want to read and live a beautiful story), I used the game guide who told me how to get the good endings in the right order (Tsugumi, Sora, You, Sara) to live the story at its best. And that was the best choice I could have ever made. Quote:

Thank you for decoding the unknown part of the text script bytecodes. I'm thinking to write the "normal" scripting pseudo-language, but the further instructions set decoding is required... I don't have a time to do so, because of the translation work... maybe later. P.S. I'm looking for the CPS ENCODER (i've managed to extract the necessary bitmap data from in-game memory (32-bit, with ALPHA MASK --KID Tools GUI KILLS MASKS WHEN EXTRACTING) and patched the exe (in memory) for overriding the GUI data with the translated BMP files, but the title menu screws it all and makes app to crash, because it's uses non-standard alpha mask (possibly that the CPS file contains TWO sections - 24-bit image and 8 (or 4 bit) alpha)!).

dsp2003, I have a question about the translation.
You said to use 5x48 and it's ok with the regular text boxes, but what about the "still screen" made of text only? I mean, for example, when a blue screen (resembling the sea's waves) appears and then the text goes with it. When there are explanations (for ex. the one about the memory stuff or when Takeshi goes to rescue Chami, etc.), etc... What rule should I use in those cases? I think that 5x48 is no longer ok. |

Jane Velez-Mitchell takes on saving America's wild horse population
CNN Headline News Jane Velez-Mitchell took on Sally Jewel and the BLM on her show last night, November 25th, 2013. Its great to see a larger news outlet discussing the issue – especially the "land grab" by the US government that benefits the cattle and energy – particularly fracking – corporations at the expense of the wild horse and burros that have the right to protection, life and liberty. However some of the opinions and options presented in this piece on what is best for our nation's wild horses should be seriously debated before we jump to any conclusions on how to move forward. ~ HfH Webmistress
From: Headline News
By: Jane Velez-Mitchell
The Bureau of Land Management announced another wild horse round-up along the Wyoming-Colorado border. Now, there are approximately 45,000 wild horses in holding pens. Critics believe the U.S. Government is in violation of the Wild Horse and Burro Act.

Not worth the $$. Macallan is very overpriced. You can get some amazing bottle for $2,000 and still have half left.
I don't disagree. You pay for the Mac name for sure. But if I had the $ it would be in my collection.
... I have yet to venture past a 100$ bottle myself.

Diana Camacho became the fifth member and second class of the Grant County High School Athletic Hall of Fame Feb. 17 during a halftime celebration of the Braves/Juggernauts game.
Camacho attended GCHS from 1994 to 1997 and played golf all four years. In that time she placed as high as third at the state tournament (1996) and was a two-time All-State team member (1995, 1996), according to Eastern Kentucky University Archives.
At the beginning of the basketball season, the Grant County Braves basketball program had three seniors on the team.
By season's end, it was down to senior forward Josh Blackburn.
At Senior Night Feb. 17, the Braves basketball program bid farewell to Blackburn and seniors from the wrestling team and cheerleading squad before the Braves/Juggernauts game.
For Blackburn, it was a somber moment.
Fred Domaschko says he's not a hero, just a man at the right place at the right time. Domaschko was on his way home from work around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 3 when he noticed the car in front of him swerving wildly. It was then that Domaschko noticed a 3-year-old child standing on the side of the road. The boy had wandered out of his Baton Rouge Road home and walked over a mile and a half in the snow. The child had no shoes and was wearing only a t-shirt and jogging pants.
Taryn Biddle will trade the blue and gold for purple and white as she signed her national letter of intent to play softball at Asbury University Feb. 17.
"It feels really good," she said after the signing. "I have wanted this since I started playing and now I signed the paper and it doesn't feel real."
Her decision to choose Asbury was being able to meet Asbury coach Larry McCullough her sophomore season and being able to practice with the Lady Eagles.
Phillip A. Clough graduated from the Army Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Ga. on Feb. 4. Pfc. Clough graduated basic training and infantry school on Dec. 15, 2010 at Ft. Benning, Ga. Clough is currently stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. in the 82nd Airborne Division, 1/325 Parachute Infantry Regiment. He is a 2010 graduate of Grant County High School and is the son of Jason and Cindy Clough of Dry Ridge.
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." ~Mary Anne Radmacher
Fred Domaschko doesn't consider himself a hero. He told the Grant County Fiscal Court he was just doing what his parents had taught him to do when he found a 3-year-old boy standing on the side of Interstate-75 in Williamstown on a cold, snowy night earlier this month. (See story on page 3.) Domaschko dialed 911 and waited with the little guy until help arrived. As it turns out, the child managed to get out of his home and walk for over a mile and a half, down an embankment before he was discovered.
Often we're challenged with a rhetorical question: "Would you give up your life for someone you love?" I think most of us would answer, yes, of course I would. No question.
Eastern Kentucky University has announced 452 dean's award recipients for the Fall 2010 semester.

Reporter On Menendez Story: 'No Indications' My Sources Worked For Cuba
AP Photo / J. Scott Applewhite
Boyle wrote about the latest developments for Breitbart on Tuesday and included the following passage about his reporting for the original story, which was published by the Daily Caller:
In discussions with a wide array of sources in reporting on the story, there were no indications that they were connected to or working for the Cuban government. Additionally, an anonymous tipster who called himself "Pete Williams," whose identity remains unknown and the Post story says was actually the creation of Cuba's Directorate of Intelligence, was not a source for the original story and never provided non-public information to this reporter.
Last year, Boyle defended his reporting to the Washington Post's Erik Wemple. "I talked to two of the prostitutes," he told Wemple at the time. "I saw their faces, I heard their voices."

After opening its season with a 68-64 win over Virginia Tech on
Friday, Brown will travel to Blacksburg, Virginia to face Virginia
Tech on Sunday, November 15, in the opener of the Philly Hoop Group
Classic. The match-up between the Bears and the Hokies will be the
second ever between the two schools.
Brown (1-0) opened its season Friday evening (11/13) in Brooklyn,
New York against St. Francis, and came away with a come-from-behind
win over the Terriers. Sophomore guard Jean-Herbert Harris scored a
career high 18 points on perfect 7 of 7 shooting from the field,
while senior All-Ivy center Matt Mullery scored 16 points,
connecting on 8 of 9 field goals. The Virginia Tech Hokies will be
playing their season opener against the Bears.
Mullery tied his own single game record for blocked shots with six
blocks against St. Francis. With the six blocks, he also
established a new school record for career blocked shots with 121,
surpassing the previous mark of 119 blocked shots by Alai
Nuualiitia from 1999-2003.
Brown boasts the nation's third longest winning streak with
three straight wins, dating back to last season, capturing its
final two games of 2008-2009 regular season, and its first game
this season. The Ivy League is the only conference in the nation
without a post-season tournament. NCAA Champion North Carolina has
won eight consecutive games and NIT Champion Penn State has
captured seven straight games.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Former U.S. Attorney-Turned-Congressional Candidate, To Talk Radio Host: I Could Sue You For Defamation
"So you're saying you're going to sue me?" Griffin replied. "Is that what you're saying, Mary Beth, because Dr. Wecht and others are suggesting? So you're gonna run for Congress, and you're threatening to sue me because we're suggesting that the case cost $20 million?"
"I'm saying that you have to know what you're talking about before you start repeating things," Buchanan replied.
Griffin challenged Buchanan to provide information on the salaries of all the people who had worked on the case, saying that he didn't believe it was only $500,000. Which led to this amusing exchange:
Griffin: Are you gonna answer my question?
Buchanan: I am answering your question, if you would shut up and let me talk.
Griffin: Oh, so this is how you're gonna run? Telling people to shut up and threatening them with lawsuits?
Buchanan: Listen, if you want the facts, I'm here to give them to you. If you hear want to hear yourself talk, then why do you even invite people to come on and be guests?
Griffin: Go ahead, Mary Beth.
Buchanan: Okay, thank you.
Griffin: You sound very defensive to me. It's a long road, Mary Beth, to run for office. This is just the beginning. This is just your toe in the water.
Believe it or not, they both seemed to have cooled down at least somewhat by the end of the interview, and Griffin invited Buchanan to appear on the show again.

Watchful waiting, active monitoring and surveillance are words to describe a monitoring strategy used for types of lymphomas and cancers.
If a cancer is discovered that's slow growing, as can be the case with some lymphomas as well as prostate cancer, many times active treatment is not the first recommendation.
When the doctor says you have cancer and the best thing to do is to watch and wait — instead of describing an active treatment plan, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, it can bring on feelings of anxiety.
We're so used to the idea that cancer needs to be treated — as soon as it's discovered — that it seems strange to just watch for something to happen. However, in some cases, ongoing monitoring is the best strategy.
Even though it may seem contrary to what we might think, active monitoring can have good benefits. If a cancer is slow growing, it may be best to wait until the cancer is at a stage where treatment would be more effective. Or, it may be that the cancer is monitored and never needs active treatment — such as in slow growing prostate cancer.
You may want to also consider these active steps if you are in a watch and wait situation:
Watchful waiting should be considered an active strategy, as close monitoring can give you reassurance that your cancer is stable, and not aggressively growing. If a cancer is found to be progressing during the monitoring stage — then additional treatment strategies can be started.

Darkfall: Unholy Wars Score and Review Game
Final Score
Pros |
Great combat mechanics Great communication with the community Innovative progression system Rewarding and gruelling PvP Vast open world |
Cons |
Cheaters are an issue Difficult for newbies or un-clanned Game engine still feels unstable |
Aesthetics – 7/10
Graphically, Darkfall isn't any TERA or Guild Wars 2. It doesn't quite match up to the caliber of the aforementioned titles, but it does have a certain charm of its own. The world of Agon is one of the biggest game worlds I've ever seen, I'm sure most of you would agree with this. Aventurine have done a very good job crafting this huge world, giving each zone its own character and personality.
But a lot of the beautiful design work, is overshadowed by a fair bit of bad optimization and what seems to be a lack of unique item design.
Throughout launch week, there were several performance issues. The engine didn't run very well, crashes were normal and it also sent my PC into absolute overdrive. Over the next few weeks, patches were put out to resolve these issues and for the most part, Darkfall started to run a lot better, crashes were less frequent, but the overuse of resources such as memory, CPU and GPU are still there. If you're planning on playing Darkfall, make sure you have a setup which can handle intensive resource allocation.
In terms of character design, I feel Aventurine need to inject a bit of personality into this. When crafting gear you're stuck to certain sets, so there are just a few set looks that your character will have, leaving you looking like everybody else. It doesn't take away from the experience so much, but it's always nice to set yourself apart from everyone else.
Gameplay – 9/10
Darkfall: Unholy Wars isn't your average MMO. It's certainly nothing like I've ever played. The premise of an open world PvP sandbox is exciting and daunting as I mentioned before. After character creation, you're taken through a tutorial which tells you next to nothing about the game other than the basic controls and how to fight.
After this, that's it, you're dropped straight into the huge world of Agon. For a some time I felt like I needed some direction. But once I set myself some personal goals, I found myself immersed in this brilliant game.
Character progression in Darkfall is very unique. The prowess system serves as the main tool of progression. Completing feats (Small goals given to you, I.e. killing a certain amount of creatures), these feats give you a range of prowess points. From here you can put these points into combat skills, basic attack with certain types of weapons and harvesting skills among others. It's definitely one of the best advancement systems I have seen in an MMO in a long while. Every activity you carry out, will more than likely count towards some feats, even when you're doing these tasks prowess points are gained and with the completion of feats, more than often a constant stream of prowess points is given. Allowing for constant growth and character progression.
Crafting in Darkfall is one of the main aspects of the game. Everything your character needs, is crafted. It takes up a lot of your time, and took out a big chunk of my play time too. It's not anything too complicated. You gather resources from sources, whether it be chunks of ore, herbs or wood. From there you go to the relevant crafting station, and craft away. One thing I would say about the progression through crafting. It is incredibly slow, and if you're going to be a solo player, it's going to take a heck of a lot of time to progress to the next ranks.
The combat is targeted towards a more action focused style, rather than the traditional tab-targeting hotbar system that most MMOs tend to take. Camera control is taken up with the mouse and targeting is up to how good you are at aiming. It's fast, frenetic, chaotic and huge amounts of fun.
With Darkfall being a full-loot, full-PvP focused MMO, you've got to watch your steps. Safe zones have been implemented to make sure you can get to grips with the basics of the game, before venturing out into the more hardcore parts of the game. These safe zones serve as your starting point. Within these you cannot be killed by another player, allowing for some kind of security. With this in mind, these safe zones are not big. They span an incredibly small area, and resources within these are thin, just enough to craft your gear. So venturing outside of these safe zones is actively encouraged.
Clans are an integral part of the game too. In fact it is probably my favorite aspect of the game. I had the joy of playing with fellow MMORPG.com staff member, RipperX and his band of navy seals, as they branded themselves. Although I only spent a few hours with them, what we did was the most fun I had in this month of playing Darkfall. Within minutes of meeting the guys in SiN, we ambushed some players, chased a couple of notorious players on the servers and captured towns. Unfortunately I wasn't able to experiences the full on sieges and organized clan wars. It is the most interesting aspect about the game, and makes for a hell of a lot of fun.
Darkfall: Unholy Wars has incredibly unique and fun gameplay. If you're thinking about playing this game, join a clan and meet some new people. The gameplay before joining a clan, is not even scratching the surface of what this MMO is all about.
Innovation – 8/10
Being a sandbox MMO is innovative in itself. It's very rare we see a title which brings such a unique gameplay experience. In addition to this, the advent of the feat and prowess system, allowing for a constant stream of progression, is something which I haven't seen outside a traditional leveling system.
With these mechanics, I feel that Darkfall: Unholy Wars, achieves some form of Innovation and manages to bring in the new while keeping some of the norm in the game.
Polish – 7/10
For the most part Darkfall has been relatively stress free. Launch week was the biggest problem of all, but when isn't an MMO launch a pain? Aventurine have made a great effort at keeping the game constantly updated and serviced, all the while communicating with the community as to what's happening.
I do feel that the engine does need optimization. The engine itself, demands a huge amount of resources from my system, which it shouldn't. It's no AAA title that's for sure.
Social – 9/10
The social aspects of the game, as mentioned before, is probably one of my favorite parts of the game. Clan support is right there, it's been implemented very well, allowing clans to own towns and areas of the map. Darkfall is very much a team game, working together, late game, is integral to taking control of the map and waging wars over enemy clans.
The game comes off as a very mature game and the community gives this off too. People are willing to help, but if they catch you off guard in the wilderness, don't expect them to be so forgiving.
Longevity – 8/10
Darkfall has had a pretty loyal following since its first inception. With it being as different as it from other titles on the market, it's bound to sweep some people off of their feet. The pricing model is on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. With its unique progression system, and its basic mechanics. I'm sure Darkfall: Unholy Wars, will have no trouble keeping afloat for months or years to come.
Value – 7/10
As it stands, Darkfall is priced at, 39.95 EUR (or $39.95 US) for the game itself, and then another 14.95 EUR ($15) for 30 days game-time. It's pretty pricey, you're not paying for graphics, you're paying for gameplay and to support the developers.
Although the pricing structure may seem very expensive, the experience you will receive out of this game, is second to none. In addition to this, content is always being added and the developers are always striving to make their game better.
Final Verdict
Darkfall: Unholy Wars is a unique title. Full-loot, full-PvP, in a huge sandbox is a daunting and gruelling mechanic for an MMO. But it makes for an experience like no other MMO. The combat is fast paced, crafting is integral and character progression is constant. In addition to this, clan warfare is highly encouraged, allowing for full on clan battles, which is where the fun starts. Aventurine have made a good go of polishing up their game from the first iteration of Darkfall. Unholy Wars truly shows off what a hardcore MMORPG really is and can be.

Where will USC go bowling?
November 24th, 2013, 11:30 am by By RICH HAMMONDThere is only one game remaining in this long (13 games), dramatic USC regular season. USC plays UCLA on Saturday night at the Coliseum (5 p.m., ABC), and then the Trojans will learn their bowl fate.
Which bowl will select USC? It's still very much up in the air. Arizona State (7-1 in Pac-12 Conference) and Stanford (7-2) will play in the Pac-12 title game. Oregon (6-2) will be favored to beat Oregon State this week and USC (6-2) has opened as a slight betting favorite over UCLA (5-3). Then it's Washington, Arizona, Oregon State and Washington State, all at 4-4.
So, much can change this week, with USC-UCLA, Arizona-Arizona State, Oregon-Oregon State and Washington-Washington State on the horizon. To complicate things even further, a bowl committee doesn't necessarily have to select a team that is slotted in a particular spot. For instance, in the current standings, Oregon would be slotted for the Holiday Bowl, but the bowl committee could ``drop down'' one spot and pluck USC or UCLA. It's all based on preference. But here's a look at where USC might end up, based on the Pac-12 bowl tie-ins...

Three Crosses
Three Crosses stood upon Calvary 2,000 years ago. Those three crosses speak of two destinies, of three men and in what condition they died.
Today you and I are just like one of those crosses. Because those three Crosses portray you and me. Those three crosses portray all that is important today, in all of life and for all of eternity. Which Cross do you identify with?
The middle Cross was Christ's. He died with all sin on Him but no sin in Him. What do I mean? He never sinned. He never disobeyed any of God's law. He was perfect, sinless, holy, divine, and unblemished in life and death. He was God. But He BECAME sin for us. He never sinned, but God hath "laid upon Him the iniquity of us all". Jesus bore the sin of the world as the Lamb of God. So we can never identify with His condition for we are never perfect nor ever God. Rather we can find ourselves as identifying with a thief on one side or the other of Jesus Christ. What do I mean?
On each side of Christ's cross were the thief's crosses. One thief went to Paradise with Jesus, and the other went to the fires of Hell with Judas, most if not all the Sadducees and probably Pilate and Herod. What made the difference?
A simple equation helps us sort out their destinies.
The Thief who went to Paradise died with sin in him but not on him. What is that? He died a saved sinner. He died in peace, he died cleansed, forgiven, with a new heart, with no condemnation, with an endless life, and he was a saved sinner. He was not perfect, he was not sinless, but he was eternally forgiven.
The thief who dropped from the cross into Hell died with all his sin on him and in him. He died full of anger and bitterness in his soul.
Only Jesus could be so bold as to say there is no middle road on the highway to heaven. It's all or none. It's receive the free gift of eternal life or reject it. No choice is to make the answer to Him be NO.
What will it be? The choice is yours. Which dying thief are you? Where will you be one minute after you die?

The Indian Cricket Board Chief, N. Srinivasan has expressed his dissatisfaction over the Eden Garden's pitch currently witnessing the 3rd Test between India and England. He conveyed the same to the Cricket Association of Bengal Chief, Jagmohan Dalmia, in a meeting with the former Indian Board Chief.
"Srinivasan very informally said that things could have been different. He seemed somewhat unhappy," a senior CAB official said. "He said he was all for good cricket but the home advantage has to be kept in mind. He also said when the Indian team goes abroad it has to contend with unfavourable tracks," the official said. "We also discussed about the coming Pakistan tour in which Eden would host the second ODI," he said.
Srinivasan was also not happy with Prabir Mukherjee's interaction with the media and wanted the curator to cut down on the same. Ahead of the match, there was a controversy when Mukherjee slammed the Indian skipper M.S. Dhoni for demanding a square turner. He was subsequently taken off his duties and sent on leave only to be reinstated a few days later.

Simpson and Bowles are well-known fiscal negotiators. Both served as co-chairmen of the White House's 2010 deficit-reduction panel that developed a bipartisan plan for tax and spending adjustments. However, the administration and congressional leaders examined the proposal and found it lacking.
In total, the duo have made at least three attempts in the past three years to broker a deficit-reduction deal. The most recent was their late 2012 effort to orchestrate a compromise between the White House and congressional leaders regarding the fiscal cliff.
Now, Simpson and Bowles have once again tried to develop a solution to avoid the automated cuts, reported The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. However, the environment in Washington is hardly suited for compromise. Budget discussions in Washington are halting, at best; Democrats and Republicans are both of the opinion that the federal budget deficit must be reduced, but what they cannot agree on is how and by how much.

Powell Project Log
— Graphing Dia Sensor Data —
Most iDigi® users build robust websites to access sensor data from the iDigi® Device Cloud™, either themselves using in-house development staff or utilizing the iDigi Applications Team. Others are just learning about the iDigi platform and M2M technology, or want to hack something up to graph data while that robust website is being developed. When I want to quickly build a website with graphs from Dia data I use RRDTool. |
About the Author — |
RRDTool is a free, open source and powerful tool that is awesome for time-series data like sensor graphing. It is both a database and a graph creation tool. Graphs can be simple, or very complex. Whether you know it or not, you have probably seen many graphs that were created using RRDTool as it has been a mainstay graphing tool for more than a decade. Check out the links:
I highly recommend reviewing the online RRDTutorial to gain an understanding of how it works and the concepts involved.
In this article I am going to show you how to pull down your sensor data from a Dia application from the iDigi Device Cloud, parse the XML, update the RRDTool database and create a simple graph. I will be doing this in Linux, so you will need to be at least competent in Linux, with basic knowledge of how to setup a Linux server with a web server, basic shell scripting and basic HTML creation. You do NOT have to be a programmer (other than basic shell scripting skills).
I am going to keep this simple and not make it a full tutorial on RRDTool, the iDigi Device Cloud or Linux. There is plenty of documentation, including some great tutorials on the RRDTool website, as well as a wealth of examples on the web that can be found using your favorite search engine. Hopefully this will give you a jumpstart with basic graphing and you can go from there.
To start, here are the tools we are going to use:
- A Linux server — I use a Rackspace cloud server based on Ubuntu server
- A web server — I use Apache, but feel free to use your preferred web server; the web server needs are basic
- Cron to run the update script on a regular basis
- Wget — I use this as a simple "web services client." Basically we will use it to pull the XML data
- XMLstarlet — A command line utility to inspect and parse data from an XML file
- Basic GNU Linux tools like "date" and "sed"
- RRDTool — This is both a database and graph creation tool
Pulling the Data
Step one is to pull the data down from the iDigi Device Cloud. I am going to use wget to do this, as RESTful web services are really just URLs and wget is good at this. There are other tools like "curl" that will do the job as well.
Here is a simple wget command line (all on one line, remove the "):
/usr/bin/wget --user=youruserid --password=yourpassword https://developer.idigi.com/ws/DiaChannelDataFull
This will return an XML file "./DiaChannelDataFull". This XML file has all the latest sensor readings for all the devices associated with your iDigi developer account.
Parsing a Sensor Measurement from the XML File
Here we use a tool called XMLstarlet that should be available in the package repository for most Linux distributions. XMLstarlet is a simple command line tool to parse an XML file.
Here is a simple xmlstarlet command line to pull the temperature from sensor0.temperature (all on one line, remove the "s):
xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/DiaChannelDataFull/id[devConnectwareId='00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FF999999' and ddInstanceName='sensor0' and dcChannelName='temperature']" -v ../dcdFloatValue DiaChannelDataFull
You will need to correct the ConnectwareID to match your device. You can get this by inspecting the XML file with less or cat. This line should return the current temperature from sensor0.temperature (adjust as necessary for your situation).
These two lines can go in your bash script to pull out the temperature ($sensorvalue) and timestamp ($iso8601time) and assign them to variables for use later in the script:
sensorvalue=`xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/DiaChannelDataFull/id[devConnectwareId='00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FF999999' and ddInstanceName='sensor0' and dcChannelName='temperature']" -v ../ dcdFloatValue DiaChannelDataFull` iso8601time=`xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/DiaChannelDataFull/id[devConnectwareId='00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FF999999' and ddInstanceName='sensor0' and dcChannelName='temperature']" -v ../ dcdUpdateTime DiaChannelDataFull`
Converting Timestamp for Use in RRDTool
iDigi returns timestamps in ISO 8601 format. For example: 2011-11-27T01:09:56Z. RRDTool wants timestamps in epoch time, which is the number of seconds since Midnight 1/1/1990 GMT. There was no easy way I could find to convert ISO time to epoch time. I came up with the slightly convoluted method of using sed to convert to a format the "date" command can use, then used date to convert to epoch time.
# Step 1 is to convert the ISO timestamp to something the Linux date command can read. # The result is changing "2011-11-27T01:09:56Z" to "2011-11-27 01:09:56 +0000" datecompatibletime=`echo $iso8601time | sed s/T/' '/ | sed s/Z/' +0000'/` # The next line uses the date command to convert to epoch time. #The result is changing "2011-11-27 01:09:56 +0000" to "1322356196" epochtime=`date +%s -d "$datecompatibletime"`
The result is that variable $epochtime contains the timestamp in Unix epoch time.
Creating a Database Using RRDTool
Now we have our temperature ($sensorvalue) and a timestamp compatible with RRDTool ($epochtime) so we are almost ready to update the rrd database with those values.
First, we need to create the database. This is a one-time step. You will likely want to refer to the tutorials and documentation on the RRDTool website for all the options here, but for now I am going to create a database that keeps 5 minute values for 1 day, 15 minute averages for 1 week and 1 hour averages for 1 year.
Here is a sample command line to create the database. Remember, this is a one-time operation, so it should not be part of your cron script!
rrdtool create sensor0.temperature.rrd --start "now - 8h" --step=300 DS:tempC:GAUGE:1000:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:288 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:3:672 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:8760
This will create a file called sensor0.temperature.rrd. This is the RRD database. Note that the initial database is filled with null values, so it will never grow in size. Do not worry about it filling up your filesystem over time!
Updating the RRDTool Database with Sensor Values
Now that we have our database created, we are ready to update it. This line is very simple. It is simply updating the database we created with the latest values, using the variables we created earlier in our script:
rrdtool update sensor0.temperature.rrd $epochtime:$sensorvalue
Creating a Simple Graph
Now it's time for the fun part, creating the graph. Again, we are going to keep it simple. Refer to the RRDTool doc and samples on the web for more complex graphing help.
This command line will create a graph in /var/www/ (adjust as necessary for your webserver's document path) with the temperature over the last 2 days.
/usr/bin/rrdtool graph /var/www/graphs/temp_last2days.png -t "Temperature - Last 2 Days" -v "Degress Celsius" -F --start -2d --end now DEF:temp=sensor0.temperature.rrd:tempC:AVERAGE LINE2:temp#FF0000:"Temperature"
You can change the duration of the graph by changing "-start 2d" to something like "-start 12d" for 12 days.
You will likely want to wrap this up in HTML and place your graphs in a nice web page — I will leave that up to you. Here is some simple HTML to show the graph:

Here is my cool new graph:

I hope you like it!

Creating Your Script to Run in Cron
I have given you a bunch of code snippets, now it is time to put it all together in a bash script. I put together this sample script that you can add to cron and run on a regular interval. You will likely need to modify paths for your system and change the sensor parameters to pull the data points you want.
#!/bin/bash # Change these values to match your system and modify graph properties deviceid="00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FF999999" diainstance="sensor0" diachannel="temperature" idigicloudurl="https://developer.idigi.com" idigiuserid="idigiusername" idigipw="idigipassword" graphfile="/var/www/graph/temp_last2days.png" graphtitle="Temperature - Last 2 Days" graphtype="LINE2" graphlinecolor="#FF0000" graphbgcolor="#FFFFFF" graphfontcolor="#000000" graphvaxis="Degrees Celsius" graphunits="C" graphsensorlabel="Temperature" graphstart="-2d" # Note: rraname must be the same as the rra name you used when creating the RRD database! rraname="tempC" rrddatabase="/home/rrdtool/graph_temp/sensor0.temperature.rrd" workdir="/home/rrdtool/graph_temp/" # You should not need to adjust much below this line. # Paths to executables might need to be adjusted to match your system. cd $workdir rm ./DiaChannelDataFull /usr/bin/wget --user=$idigiuserid --password=$idigipw $idigicloudurl/ws/DiaChannelDataFull # Parse the XML, grabbing the sensor value and the timestamp sensorvalue=`xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/DiaChannelDataFull/id[devConnectwareId='$deviceid' and ddInstanceName='$diainstance' and dcChannelName='$diachannel']" -v ../dcdFloatValue DiaChannelDataFull` iso8601time=`xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/DiaChannelDataFull/id[devConnectwareId='$deviceid' and ddInstanceName='$diainstance' and dcChannelName='$diachannel']" -v ../dcdUpdateTime DiaChannelDataFull` # We will convert the timestamp from ISO format to Unix Epoch format in 2 steps. # Step 1 is to convert the ISO timestamp to something the Linux date command can read. # The result is changing "2011-11-27T01:09:56Z" to "2011-11-27 01:09:56 +0000" datecompatibletime=`echo $iso8601time | sed s/T/' '/ | sed s/Z/' +0000'/` # The next step uses the date command to convert to epoch time. # The result is changing "2011-11-27 01:09:56 +0000" to "1322356196" epochtime=`date +%s -d "$datecompatibletime"` # Uncomment the following 2 lines to output some debug info to the console # echo "Sensor value: $sensorvalue ; ISO8601 time: $iso8601time" # echo "date compatible time: $datecompatibletime ; epochtime: $epochtime" # Post the sensor value to the RRDTool database /usr/bin/rrdtool update $rrddatabase $epochtime:$sensorvalue # Set a variable with server time info for use in graph below timedatestring=`date +%F %H\:%M\:%S %Z` # Create the graph /usr/bin/rrdtool graph $graphfile -c BACK$graphbgcolor -c FONT$graphfontcolor -t "$graphtitle" -v "$graphvaxis" -F --start $graphstart --end now COMMENT:" l" COMMENT:"-------------------------------------------l" COMMENT:"SENSOR MIN MAX AVG LAST l" COMMENT:"-------------------------------------------l" DEF:value1=$rrddatabase:$rraname:AVERAGE $graphtype:value1$graphlinecolor:"$graphsensorlabel" VDEF:value1max=value1,MAXIMUM VDEF:value1min=value1,MINIMUM VDEF:value1avg=value1,AVERAGE VDEF:value1las=value1,LAST GPRINT:value1min:"%2.0lf $graphunits " GPRINT:value1max:"%2.0lf $graphunits " GPRINT:value1avg:"%2.0lf $graphunits " GPRINT:value1las:"%2.0lf $graphunits l" COMMENT:"Generated on: $timedatestringr"
Sample Graphs
The script above will create a graph something like this:
With a few quick changes, you can change the colors and graph type. Change these configuration variables:
graphtype="AREA" graphlinecolor="#D2691E" graphbgcolor="#000000" graphfontcolor="#7FFF00"
and you will get a graph like this:
RRDTool has many graph options, I have just demonstrated a few simple ones. Read the RRDTool doc and examples for more ideas.
For a listing of color codes, use an Internet search engine and search for "html color chart".
I hope you found this interesting and give it a try. RRDTool is an awesome tool for use with iDigi sensor data. Once you get familiar with RRDTool you can do some really cool things. Again, I highly recommend the RRDTool tutorial, then digging into the various graph options to make your graphs more functional and cool looking.
Have fun!

Ms. Splosion Man Gameplay Preview
Posted: March 2, 2011
Exploding at GDC 2011 was Twisted Pixel's Ms. Splosion Man and Michael Wilford gives you a look at the levels, storyline, and gameplay mechanics for Ms. Splosion Man.
Games in this Video:
Ms. Splosion Man (Xbox 360)Comments are Closed
Huba-huba, that is so hot it burns lol.
The world-map aspect sounds great, from how they describe it thinking something like what starfox used to do, that would be a nice change since not many games offer that sort of replayability anymore.
I'm a bit confused on the name though, Ms. & Man in the same name? Yikes.. no looky under that trunky people.Posted: March 2, 2011 2:52 PM
