Windows Update Agent - Which version do you have?
Posted 20 June 2012 - 12:24 PM

This presents a problem in and of itself for ANY of the WGET failures. Please note that "Retries" (for accessing said file) is "default=20" according to the docs.If a file is downloaded more than once in the same directory, Wget's behavior depends on a few options, including -nc. In certain cases, the local file will be clobbered, or overwritten, upon repeated download. In other cases it will be preserved.
When running Wget without -N, -nc, -r, or -p, downloading the same file in the same directory will result in the original copy of file being preserved and the second copy being named file.1. If that file is downloaded yet again, the third copy will be named file.2, and so on.
So... some sort of "loop" construct would have to be made that would NOT allow continuous looping or "give up - I am a failure - try later...".
Also note that the "Pre-Cleanup" routine is NOT deleting "*.CAB". Guess it should for insurance... OR check for a GOOD download instance and if Rerun is necessary (for any given file download failure) the Bypass WGET (go to next one). This will be cumbersome!!!
Posted 20 June 2012 - 12:38 PM
Yep, it doesn't like (2) at the end of the folder. The 404's went away.
Will try AGAIN without ANY "paren's"... Guess this should be a warning for using your script or my script...
"Folder names may NOT contain any parenthesis"...
(previous post before I seen your post...)
"Failure is NOT an option..." - APOLLO 13
edit - and I DID add a "Pre-Cleanup"
:: ADDED due to occassional FAILED WGET's if exist *.cab* del *.cab*Still doesn't tell whether a "failure" occurred during "build"... @#$%^& More error-checking needed for at least that...
edit2 - how about that! I removed the "(2)" also - worked! ("Pre-cleanup" command unnecessary?)...
Still - "failure checks" should be put into BOTH scripts, IMHO... Otherwise, folks may be... Will fool with mine... l8tr!!! G-kids have been rattling cages... And STILL need to complete my "craigslist" project (need $).
BTW, apparently a LIST file can be sent to WGET to ease the burden - BUT how would you error-check individual files? (sigh...)

Maybe "START /W" would help (in addition to "errorlevel")??? Too many retries would case a severe loop... No WAY should a simple "loop" as proposed by tomasz86 should be used - witness the effects of "-nc" as used...
edit - NINE "guest" viewing this?
NOTICE TO ANY/ALL!!! (just an FYI)
This is NOT a "permanent solution" but an "exercise"... MS will OBVIOUSLY give a NEW version when they are ready - Windows 8 is JUST AROUND THE CORNER and as already stated, the last OFFICIAL package is not necessarily intended for anything but Windows 7 SP1 (maybe Windows 2008 R2) for a "particular problem" but DOES WORK ATM. Current v226 is the Official XP/2K3/Vista/Win7RTM AFAIK.
(sheesh! hot topic for guests?)
SUS vs WSUS. This Exercise is based on WSUS information and tested against AU turned OFF (neither case)!!! Google "WUIDENT.CAB"... there's a TEXT file inside it (and you get it when you go to WU)... There's a lot more to WU than just these files in question... (and they download WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE!).

blackwingcat had just mentioned in his recent blog here:
he has wuweb.dll version 7.6.7600.257 dated 6/4/2012. newer than the one ricktendo64 packaged in his unofficial packages. but all the other WUA files are version 7.6.7600.256.
I now have version 7.6.7600.257 of the muweb.dll and wuweb.dll files installed on my XP computer.
ah see, my waiting and patience has finally paid off.

I entered MU site and got immediately offered muweb.dll v. 7.6.7600.257, which I did accept. It didn't offer me the updated wuweb.dll, too, however, nor updated it silently.I now have version 7.6.7600.257 of the muweb.dll and wuweb.dll files installed on my XP computer.
That may be because I run with Auto Updates disabled. Can one of you all find out its download link? I'd rather update it by hand, and, in any case, it'd be good to update submix8c batch to get wuweb.dll v. 7.6.7600.257, instead of v. 7.6.7600.256...

How odd! It implies that if you opt into Microsoft Update (the MUWEB.DLL from MUWEB_SITE.CAB) as opposed to Windows Update (the "normal" path that we've been discussing) that you should get it if you have AU turned on (see my SUS vs WSUS link). Not sure I want to "flood" my VPC test bed with Updates...Wuweb.dll * 7.6.7600.256 210,968 2-June-12 22:19 x86
Wuweb.dll *+ 7.6.7600.257 210,968 5-June-12 00:35 x86

Maybe if you just set the notifications to just let you know if there are any updates available but let you decide to download and install you could pick and choose and get the one you want but not be flooded?

Hate to burst your bubble - but WU is Windows Update (the "built" files) and MU is Microsoft Update (not part of the "Windows Update Agent"). MU only happens when you "Get Microsoft Update Today!". I had previously done that and had "turned it off" (Custom settings in MU to use only WU) after updating with the New Package (7.6.7600.256). Notice that it (AFAIK) "uninstalled/removed" "Windows\Downloaded Program Files\MUWebControl Class". Really unsure if that was exactly what happened - I fiddled so much... Then I "Uninstalled" the (only and can't remember which one) the Class from "Downloaded" folder. I subsequently RENAMED WUWEB.DLL and got the Newer MUWEB stuff. However, I could NOT "Get MU" (IE CLAIMED the ActiveX was "missing"). I then COPIED MUWEB.DLL from 5eraph's links to MUWEB.CAB/DLL (from another thread? can't remember) v7.6.7600.256. I could NOW "Get MU" and the results are...I entered MU site and got immediately offered muweb.dll v. 7.6.7600.257, which I did accept. It didn't offer me the updated wuweb.dll, too, however, nor updated it silently.
That may be because I run with Auto Updates disabled. Can one of you all find out its download link? I'd rather update it by hand, and, in any case, it'd be good to update submix8c batch to get wuweb.dll v. 7.6.7600.257, instead of v. 7.6.7600.256...
The "Windows\Downloaded Program Files" now contains -
WUWebControl Class - WUWEB.DLL v7.6.7600.257
MUWebControl Class - MUWEB.DLL v7.6.7600.257 <-now again active in IE
The Download Address (in IE TempFiles) has an entirely different ?9999-series than the prior version. Very confusing what I did and not sure I can replicate.
Put this in your Web Browser -
Add this to the end -
It's v257 of MUWEB.CAB (with INF and CAT). I'm willing to bet that if you "Remove" "MUWebControl Class" (maybe use the Custom option to "Use only WU" in The Update Website screen?) then go BACK in (since you now have MUWEB.DLL v257) and go BACK to Windows Update, request "Get MS Update" that you will get a brand spanky new WUWEB.DLL "Dowloaded"/installed.

http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/v5controls/en/x86/client/muweb_site.cab?1340383010227Just downloaded v257 of MUWEB.DLL, inside MUWEB_SITE.CAB, binarily identical to the one I got installed yesterday.
Hey! You've just given me the solution!
Just change "m" by "w", and there we are:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/v5controls/en/x86/client/wuweb_site.cab?1340383010227works, too! I've just got WUWEB.DLL through it, inside WUWEB_SITE.CAB!!!
So, now we can revise the .cmd, and we're back to the *latest* WUA files once again!
Posted 22 June 2012 - 01:52 PM
wget -nc http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/1/windowsupdate/b/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/wuweb.cabto

Will update later (maybe here after removing older download). "Gots da-kidds" pestering... Played heck digging into this. And thx, dencorso, for the "hints" - that's what prompted the "experiment".
Reminder - WU is not, repeat NOT the same as MU and MU is not part of this. I have absolutely no clue as to how to create a package for MU. For the purpose of Windows-only "-X-" packages it is irrelevant since it's for "other than Windows Updates" (e.g. Office, etc.)...
OK, folks, I'm not sure we can get any better/newer than this. 5eraph or ricktendo64 can chime in anytime for any further info on MU or errors (or even hints on the v257 thing...).
Happy WU-ing!!!
Posted 22 June 2012 - 03:07 PM
I was able to incorporate Microsoft Update Client into my standalone Windows Update Agent installer (need to see about adding the MU shortcut)I have absolutely no clue as to how to create a package for MU.

Well, now I do, too, thanks to the newly rebuilt installer we've just concocted, after running it with the /wuforce option..I now have version 7.6.7600.257 of the muweb.dll and wuweb.dll files installed on my XP computer.
The changes you suggested to the WUAv256.cmd worked beautifully!

excellent, dencorso; just like the versions blackwingcat and I have. i'll try out ricktendo64's revised WU installer packages for both x86 and x64 versions of Windows XP later tonight (and yes, I'll test out the x86 version of his installer on a Win2000 computer).
I give ricktendo64's WU installer packages a letter grade of "A" while I give mcrip's WU installers a letter grade of "C-" because they don't work on XP/2003 computers and only under Vista/2008/Seven.

@echo off pkgmgr /ip /m:WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX-x64.cab /quiet pkgmgr /ip /m:WUClient-SelfUpdate-Aux-TopLevel-x64.cab /quiet pkgmgr /ip /m:WUClient-SelfUpdate-Core-TopLevel-x64.cab /quiet EXITThese 3 files are NOT for XP/2K3/(maybe 2K) and the Installer will detect that. Apparently, the CMD is to "insert" it into the Install (?) or maybe "after" install (as one of the post-install scripts?). See this. So, this is semi-irrelevant to the Topic but the Files (these are the 3 cabs I had initiall had in question - thx, ricktendo64) are "necessary" to make a Complete Package usable on all versions XP(2k?)->Win7.
Will download samples from ricktendo64's newer packages and inspect them. You will have the option of using This Built Package (specifically for -X-' methods) or the Pre-Built Packages by ricktendo64. If I have time, I will investigate the "new links" given (note that the WU link remains but redirects to MU).
Side note... Just went to MU/WU (already had MU installed) on 2K3 and it offered a DIFFERENT "?99999" MU-appendage that is STILL v257! (?1340464593891) One might ask - WHY is that appendage (redirect) different TODAY (other link was running XP)??? Is it "dependent" on the OS? (BTW, SAME CAB!)
Addendum Microsoft Update Catalog v7.4.7057.249.-
https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ClientControl/en/x86/MUCatalogWebControl.CabDoesn't appear to need the "HTTP
edit - it APPEARS that you have to have Temp IE files "deleted" to cajole MU/WU to "update". I had cleared before shutdown yesterday and got "offered" today BUT when going again - it does NOT offer. Yes, folks, it appears to be RANDOM!!!

Not sure if this would "fix" it...
1 - Download this instead (it's GNU Unix Port to Windows of "split.exe" so it's distributable). Put in the folder.
2 - Remove these PARTCOPY references
:: KEEP THIS ZIP FILE!!! MAY BE HARD TO GET AGAIN!!! :: if exist pcopy02.zip del pcopy02.zip if exist partcopy.exe del partcopy.exe
if exist pcopy02.zip goto GOTSPLIT ECHO Downloading PARTCOPY from Web Archive... :: --- UNDEPENDABLE! :: wget -nc "http://web.archive.org/web/20010116021600/http://users.erols.com/johnfine/pcopy02.zip" :: --- Use this instead... wget -nc "http://www.brokenthorn.com/Resources/Programs/pcopy02.zip" :: --- OR this instead... :: wget -nc "http://geezer.osdevbrasil.net/johnfine/pcopy02.zip" :GOTSPLIT 7za.exe e "%~dp0pcopy02.zip" -o"%~dp0" partcopy.exe -y3 - Replace PARTCOPY code
:: NOTE! This MUST use 8.3... I DID NOT prefix filenames with "%~dp0"... partcopy WUAEXE.EXE 0 8A00 WUSFX.SFX :: The Install is no longer needed... del "%~dp0WUAEXE.EXE"with SPLIT code

Jul 16, 2012I wanted to accept the challenge that I heard from all the hype. I am a very hard person to scare. As a child at the age of 5 years, my father let me watch anything I wanted. He would stay up with me all night watching monster marathons on television. I figured this game couldn't scare me. HOLY CRAP, I was wrong.

Sep 19, 2013One of the best horror games made in this year. It's tension keeps you occupied and keeps the terror high up for the rest of the game. What? Too scared too play?
Jun 26, 2013Dark and gritty survival horror game. With well thought out level design this game creates an awesome chilling atmosphere that really makes the player feel like their in the horror or the game.
Never have I played a game like this, Well worth the asking price. -
Feb 2, 2013Story original. Graphisms correct. The ambiance is intense and frightening as said. You walk in the darkness and have to care about your health and mental. A good product. Don't hesitate on that title
Feb 28, 2013The Singleplayer is not very appealing to me. With custom stories a maybe very scary and funny adventure.

Sep 4, 2013I cant play this game alone. Really i cant. I am 29 years old and i have to play with someone or with the lights on. I have to keep pausing it or throw my headphones off. After playing this game i can safely say that no film can scare me as this has raised the bar.
Sep 16, 2013
Nov 5, 2013I would rate it higher but it's too scary to get through. I'm liking it so far except for the fact that there is no direct, you have to wander until you somehow solve a puzzle.
Nov 17, 2013This is the most amazing horror game ever The story line is very interesting and you cant stand of computer because you are very interested what will happen next! Monsters are well designed and very scary! And at last thing that i liked the most in Amnesia... Custom Stories!!! You can play on a map which is made by another person So this is the best scary game ever!
Apr 7, 2012
Mar 26, 2011A very very scary game that relies psychological terror rather then jumpy moments to scare the player also not having weapons to fight back adds to the "If that thing sees me im dead" moments.
Mar 23, 2011The lack of weapons makes this game incredibly scary when having to deal with enemies, because all you can do is run or hide. Easily one of the sceariest games I've played, and the puzzles are cool, but I think there's too much of it.
Jan 19, 2011Horror, adventure, a lot of horror, puzzle solving a a ton of horror more! that's what it is.
I would say that if you liked any of Penumbra Games, you will love this one too. It takes the best of the previous games and makes something truly remarkable for the price point. It's definitely worth trying.
an advice: play with headphones at night -
Apr 26, 2011
Mar 27, 2011Have you ever pissed your pants while playing a gameâ
Sep 30, 2011There are times in this game where you will be very scared, but never a time when you will want to stop playing. Amnesia is the scariest game ever made, but also one of the best. The water stage will haunt your memories.
Sep 27, 2011
May 16, 2011Finally a horror game that understands the importance of immersion and atmosphere - or to put it another way, that suspense is much more important (and harder to pull off) than surprise. Too many "horror" games I've seen rely entirely on surprise and boring fights (if you can kill the enemies, then they're not nearly as scary - so in Amnesia, you can't fight back!).
Nov 23, 2010
Dec 11, 2010One of the best horror games to date, very chilling and intense at some moments, I bet you wouldn't last the entire game without jumping off your chair, just once!
Fantastic, developers deserve the money! -

Dec 6, 2010This is seriously a good choice if you're looking for a horror game on PC. The story is so well written that i think it deserved a chance to be made into a movie. also the atmosphere are good, it sends chill even to the toughest guy you can imagine. good buy i must say. i fully enjoyed playing this game
Dec 9, 2010Unique experience that offers more than meets the eye. BUY this game! There is a demo if your interested, but if you like survival horror, this game has it in spades. It's unlike any survival horror game you have ever played.

Apr 13, 2011The atmosphere is so intense, this game will suck you in from beginning to end, not to mention give you nightmares. The graphics are quite nice, but can still run on any computer (almost), but graphics aside, this game is TRUE survival horror! Penumbra fans, must buy this game! Survival horror game fans HAVE to buy this game! You'll be glad you did : P
Feb 2, 2011You are standing in an open field west of a white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
Turn off the lights in your house and play this game. It is the closest any modern game will ever get to a similar feeling. Unique in its ideas and excellence this game is put simply astonishing. -
Feb 3, 2011This is by far the best horror-survival game I have ever played!
And after I played it for the first time, I thought the replay value isn't that high.... but after I played it a second time I realized, I was so wrong! -
Feb 6, 2011This game is absolutely phenomenal!From the start you are inserted in the depths of a chaotic castle that will paralyze you from fear from its shocking mysteries.It is beyond your imagination what awaits you.The sounds , the graphics all make what this game is , an absolute masterpiece.Kudos to Frictional Games.
Mar 5, 2011
Feb 28, 2011Don't know how to state this: This is a REAL horror game.
You see; horror games are nowdays mostly seen as a game with bloody monsters and you need to shoot them. A real horror game is mostly imagination, and you should always be on edge.
Amnesia is the perfect horror game; no defence, and i had the feeling i was REALLY going insane.
A must-have. -
Mar 8, 2011Great survival horror game that knows when to go "boo". It has great writing and voice acting to immerse you into the world where you are a puny little man facing big, scary monsters with nothing but a lantern.
Decent game. Worth the money. -
Mar 10, 2011This game made me visit the developers blog page for news on future updates
It scared the bejesus out of me, but thats exactly what I wanted
Some say that it has no replay value, but I played it twice and some parts still gets me even though I know whats going to happen
In terms of uniqueness, No other game is as atmospheric, immersive, and terrifying as this
Would recommend to everyone -

Apr 24, 2011Amnesia The Dark Descent is a frightening rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the end with a plotline what shocks you just as much as the games horrifying looking enemies. Without a doubt, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of the scariest games ever made.
Apr 23, 2011Amnesia is a great game. If you are looking for something that is different than what your used to, you should defiantly check this out, especially for $20 (sometimes $10 on steam). It is terrifying as well, I still haven't even beaten it.

Apr 24, 2011The gaming world houses a lot of "horror" games that involve monsters but don't really manage to inspire an emotional response of fear... This game knows how to keep you scared. Creepiest freaking horror game I have ever played. You will not find a creepier game out there, and that is why I give it a 10. Not the best game ever, but it certainly is the top of it's genre.

Jan 10, 2012Amazing game. Since original Silent Hill I was scared very match. Great atmosphere, great logical puzzles, great story. But atmosphere disappears near the end, this is sad.
May 7, 2011Dark and scary. If you're looking for a game that will creep you out, this is your best shot. The complete lack of weapons to defend yourself with in this game keeps things scary. You'll quickly find yourself immersed in the shaking boots of your character.
May 16, 2011One of best game i played. Really horror. All is really good in this game. In my opinion this game must be played, better if u play it at night alone. Sound is very important, and very well developed. If you can enter in Daniel's mind, you will have an incredible adventure. vote:9

May 21, 2011The game is quite well done but the graphics are quite outdated and the way you interact is very easily made.The atmosphere is amazing but it can get quite repetitive for the sake of length.
Jul 11, 2011It's spot-on scary. Really gets you into the game. If you don't have an imagination, they you will probably hate this game.

Jul 31, 2011Normally i don't get or hardly get frightened by horror games but this one... does. Its the perfect horror game that will scare the hell out of you. i recommend to not play it in the dark, its scary enough.

Apr 19, 2011Amnesia: The Dark Descent is the scariest game in years. You'll get an extremely creepy vibe from the castle and all of the mysterious things that are happening there. The voice overs and the ending of the game aren't great, but this shouldn't bother anyone seeing how you'll be extremely scared when you play this on your own in a dark room.
Jan 31, 2011Amnesia offers an experience so rich that we're willing to forgive its weak ending, imperfections of the engine, and low-bugdet production values.
Jan 29, 2011At times it's a struggle to play purely because of how scary it can be, and it's not often you can say that about a video game. Just remember: lights off, headphones on, and try not to go insane.

In dismal quarter for PCs, Apple's Macs could shine
October 22, 2012: 11:18 AM ETWindows sales fell 8-9% year over year, but most analysts think Mac's actually grew
FORTUNE -- Last quarter was a terrible for most personal computer makers. With sales down 8%-9% across the board, yearly PC shipments fell worldwide for the first time since the 2001 recession according to Gartner and IDC, which attributed the dismal results variously to the economic slowdown, a pause in advance of Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 and the fickleness of consumers who would rather spend their money these days on smartphones and tablets than on traditional PCs.
None of which explains why 44 of the 64 Apple (AAPL) analysts we polled in advance of Thursday's earnings report believe that Mac sales actually grew in the quarter that ended Sept. 29 -- both sequentially (i.e. from the previous quarter) and year over year. That would mark the 26th straight quarter that the Mac's growth has outpaced the rest of the industry.
To be sure, some analysts -- both professional and independent -- are forecasting a drop in Mac sales. But the consensus of both groups is that the new MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro introduced in June pushed sales to more than 5 million for the quarter -- an increase of more than 4% over the same quarter last year.
We'll find out if they were right when Apple reports its fiscal Q4 earnings after Thursday's closing bell.
Below: The analysts' individual estimates, with the pros in blue and the amateurs in green.

Low info voters probably don´t look at the sample ballots sent out so they waste time figuring out to vote for or against if there isn´t a big (D) after names or ballot measures. The language on ballot initiatives are confusing as hell sometimes. You probably also have a literacy problem with the low info types.Maryland made their ballots idiot proof by putting favorable dem items at the top of each column.It´s puzzling to me how the groups that voted early the most,had the longest lines election day.Maybe voting twice is a problem.But here we have an example of where public opinion is strongly in favor of voter ID but the republicans don´t take advantage of it because they´re afraid of racism charges.
Democrats whine about everything. It is part of their persona and their 15-year-old mentality.I´m for suppressing the voters in the voting precincts that have a 137% voter turn-out. I´m for suppressing the voters who are rounded up by democrat operatives off the streets to go vote, in exchange for a carton of cigarettes. Every County Clerk should be investigating areas that have 100% of the votes going to one candidate, or more that 100% of the voters voting.
An article this week on D voter suppression sited Phila as rejecting 50% of voter registrations in 2008 ............. in a pejorative way.What they didn´t say was that ACORN turned in over 100,000 registrations in the city that were duplicates or phoney.[name-dob-address-etc]
I heard the moocher state that there were less votes this time for O because of Voter I.D. laws.IMHO, that´s a good thing. It´s not voter suppression, it´s a fair vote.
#4, what is funny about citing Philadelphia is that if there was voter suppression going on there it was done by Democrats suppressing the vote of people who would either vote Republican or for the wrong Democrat.
The long lines made it difficult to get in multiple times.

Best Uses
Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
This unit had a horrible static or fuzz sound every time a note is hit to a point that makes it unusable. Moved it around to see if it was due to interference which didn't make a difference, plugged into the headphone out and did not hear the static so it must have been the receiver. Emailed Galaxy Audio tech support a week prior to writing this review and still have not received a response. I returned it to Musician's friend and they took it back with no problem. Ended up biting the bullet and spending a couple of hundred more on the Shure PSM 200 and WOW! What a difference.
Best Uses
Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
Sound quality is fantastic... everything mixed through the ear monitors comes through very clearly. No interference or cut out. It just works!
Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
Great system. Loss of a half a star for looks and for having to use the power button to turn it on every time. (If the box loses power (eg when you turn you system off), it won't turn itself back on when you power your system back up. You have to press the power button to turn it on again. Not a huge problem, just an extra button to remember to hit each week.)
The ear buds that it comes with have good response to the sounds you send them and the system will transmit in stereo or mono depending on which you want to use. It also comes with a detachable antenna so you can mount your antenna elsewhere if you so desire.The recievers look cheap but don't let that fool you. I made it all the way back to the nursury at our church and still got good signal strength. Most of our wireless handhelds only make it half that far. The sound was also perfectly clear in the sanctuary. If you made it far enough away from the transmitter to lose signal (which is a long way), you got some drop out, but since it uses a pilot signal you never got any static in your ear it would just drop to silence and the light would turn off to let you know it lost signal.We considered a few other systems before purchasing this one, but they were all either too expensive or had bad sound quality.

The National FFA Organization is an American youth organization, specifically a career and technical student organization, based on middle and high school classes that promote and support agricultural education. The organization was founded in 1928 as Future Farmers of America, but in 1988 the name was changed to the National FFA Organization, now commonly referred to as simply FFA, to recognize that the organization is for those with diverse interests in the food, fiber and natural resource industries, encompassing science, business and technology in addition to production agriculture.[2] Today FFA is one of the largest youth organization in the United States, with 579,678 members[3] in 7,570 chapters [3] throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. FFA is the largest of the career and technical student organizations in U.S. schools.
The organization holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.[4]
The National FFA organization is a youth leadership organization that strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education.
FFA functions within the three-circle model of agricultural education as a student leadership organization that complements a student's classroom/laboratory instruction and supervised agricultural experience program.[5] FFA members can compete in Career Development Events (CDE) that cover job skills in everything from communications to mechanics. Some events allow students to compete as individuals, while others allow them to compete in teams.[6]
Students are supervised by education teachers in cooperation with parents, employers and other adults who assist individuals in the development and achievement of educational and career goals.
FFA structure[edit]
FFA is represented at several different levels across the nation; FFA administration may change from state to state. The basic levels are the national level, serving all of the United States of America, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands; the state level, serving an individual state association; and the chapter level, serving a school or set of schools in an area. By definition, there can be three types of chapters at the secondary level, they are middle for middle school, junior for ninth grade and senior which can be either tenth through twelfth or ninth through twelfth depending on the school. Other levels include districts, subdistricts, sections, regions, areas, federations, etc.
Originally created to serve high school students, the FFA has recently moved into middle schools where membership may begin as early as age 12, allowing members to become active earlier and stay active for longer. Each chapter is chartered as part of the state association and national organization. Collegiate chapters exist as well.
Most states hold FFA conventions at least once annually, where members gather to compete, be recognized for awards, attend leadership workshops, debate organizational issues in a delegate process, and more. Nationally, the National FFA Convention & Expo is held once a year in the fall, and was originally held in Kansas City, Missouri, from 1928–1998. The convention moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1999 before moving again in 2006 to Indianapolis, Indiana. The 86th National FFA Convention & Expo took place once again in Louisville, Kentucky in October 2013.[7]
Officers of FFA[edit]
As the FFA is a member-led organization intended to serve youth around the Nation, it elects officers from its own diverse membership to certain levels of the FFA. At the Chapter level, and many other levels, officers elected are usually:
Constitutional officers[edit]
- President — The President is stationed by the rising sun, a symbol of a new era in agriculture.
- Vice President — Stationed by the plow, the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil.
- Secretary — Stationed by the ear of corn, the symbol of the national span of FFA because corn is grown in all fifty states.
- Treasurer — Stationed by emblem of Washington, to keep an accurate account of receipts and disbursements just as Washington kept his farm account.
- Reporter — Stationed by the flag, to inform the people that the FFA is a national organization.
- Sentinel — Stationed by the door, to make sure the door is open to all and keep the room comfortable as well as assisting in maintaining order.
- Advisor — Stationed by the owl, the time honoured emblem of knowledge and wisdom
Others may include[edit]
- Parliamentarian —Stationed by a copy of Robert's Rules of Order or the eagle.
- Historian — Stationed at the scrolls or chapter scrapbook.
- The Student Advisor — Stationed by the owl or the key.
- Chaplain — Stationed by the Bible or Book.
- Executive Committee/ Executive Board.
Each officer is an agricultural student and holds responsibilities needed to serve, and are elected each year by members at the respective levels.
National Officers[edit]
- President
- Secretary
- Eastern Region President
- Southern Region President
- Central Region President
- Western Region President
This allows officers to be elected to one of the four national regions of the FFA, as well as a President and a Secretary
Official FFA dress[edit]
FFA Jacket[edit]
The most recognizable symbol of the organization is the blue corduroy FFA jacket that is worn by current FFA members. The back of the jacket features a large FFA emblem just underneath the name of each FFA member's state. The name of the local FFA chapter, district, region or area is embroidered below the emblem. The front of the FFA jacket features a smaller FFA emblem on the left chest and the FFA member's name, office and year on the right chest. FFA members are required to wear the FFA jacket as part of official dress while participating in all official organization activities.[8]
Originally created to be worn by the Fredericktown Band of the Fredericktown FFA Chapter by Dr. Gus Lintner,[9] the FFA Jacket was adopted in 1933.
The color of the jacket's corduroy has ranged from shades of blue to shades of purple through the years. In 2004, the National FFA Organization worked with a supplier in North Carolina to set a new standard for the blue corduroy by using samples from archived FFA jackets. The jacket's color standardization was accompanied by a restoration of the embroidered FFA emblems and fit corrections led by Clemson University's Apparel Research Center. The improved FFA jacket, produced in both Van Wert, Ohio and South Vietnam, was first made available in August 2005. Currently, all lettering, embroidery and finishing of FFA jackets is completed by Universal Lettering Company in Van Wert, Ohio.[10]
Elements of FFA Official Dress[edit]
FFA members are required to wear official FFA dress while participating in official organization activities. For females, official dress consists of a black skirt (black slacks may be appropriate for traveling and outdoor activities), a white collared blouse, an official FFA blue scarf, black dress shoes with a closed heel and toe, black nylon hosiery, and an official FFA jacket zipped to the top. Male official dress includes black dress pants, a white dress shirt, an official FFA tie, black dress shoes with a closed heel and toe, black socks and an official FFA jacket zipped to the top.[8]
Awards and Pins[edit]
FFA members earn metal pins that signify achievement within the organization. These pins can be placed on the front of the FFA jacket,[8] though official guidelines say no more than three pins may be worn at one time. The pins are placed beneath the FFA member's name on the right chest and can recognize the highest office, highest award, and highest organizational degree. Two exceptions exist within pin placement guidelines. When an FFA member earns a State FFA Degree or American FFA Degree, the award keys should be worn above the name on right chest or attached to the FFA jacket with a standard key chain.[8]
As an organization, the FFA has many traditions and trademarks identifying it as an agricultural education organization:[11]
The FFA Motto: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve.
The FFA Mission: The National FFA Organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.[11]
The Official FFA Colors: National Blue and Corn Gold (worn on the Official FFA jackets).[12]
The FFA Creed[edit]
The FFA creed was written by Erwin Milton "E.M." Tiffany of Wisconsin[13] and adopted at the 3rd National FFA Convention.[13] It was revised at the 38th and 63rd National FFA Conventions by the assembled delegate body. It is recited by new members to the organization to reflect their growing belief in agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA Creed also must be memorized and recited to earn the Greenhand Degree.
I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds – achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement I cannot deny.
I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturalists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.
I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.
I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
Career Development Events[edit]
FFA Career Development Event, or CDE's, are contests that members compete in to test their skills learned through agricultural education instruction. They vary at the different levels of the FFA, and some are competed in only at certain levels and certain states, districts, areas or federations.[14]
At the National level, there are 23 CDE's:[1]
Examples of CDEs that can be available at the state level are:
- Small Animal Care

Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs[edit]
To be an active member in the National FFA Organization, a member must have an Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project.[15] The projects involve hands-on application of concepts and principles learned in the agricultural education classroom, with guidelines for the SAE projects governed by the state FFA delegation. SAE programs are grouped into four different areas:
- Exploratory – learning about the 'big picture' of agriculture and related careers
- Research/Experimentation and Analysis – conducting research or analysis of information to discover new knowledge
- Ownership/Entrepreneurship – planning and operation of an agriculture-related business
- Placement – working either for pay or experience in an agricultural setting

Urrutia, the leading receiver on the Utah Blaze, left Louisville after his junior season and was drafted in the 7th round by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008. But his NFL career did not go the way he planned.
Urrutia was stricken with a foot injury while bouncing around between the Bengals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Jets.
"My injury set me back," he said. "I had to have a bone removed from my right foot, and it was just a constant stress fracture over a period of time."
But Urrutia has resurrected his football career with the Blaze, leading the team with 16 touchdown catches in his first year playing arena football.
"I figured I'd come in and do what I had to do," Urrutia said. "But nobody could imagine that I'd do this good. I'm loving playing for the Blaze."
Leggett had a more successful NFL experience. An undrafted defensive back out of Valdosta State, Leggett went on to become the Kansas City Chiefs rookie of the year in 2008. But like Urrutia, his NFL career was cut short because of injuries.
"I injured my shoulder and that really hurt," said Leggett, who has two interceptions this season for the Blaze. "I know I can compete at the highest level. Just me being a young player with no guidance, I didn't know how to take care of my body through the course of the year, and that's what affected my career."
However, the dream of getting back to the NFL has not diminished one bit.
"The dream is like no other," Leggett said. "A lot of it is on who you know and lot of it is luck. You just have to be prepared when your number is called."
"That's definitely true," Urrutia agreed. "You have to play every play like it's your last. That's my advice to anybody that goes after their dream. It's still there for me. If I can get back, I'll get back. But, if not, I'm just going to take what I have because I'm just happy to be playing football."

You may have noticed a pattern thus far with the fantasy baseball rookie posts, they're mostly hitters. This is done on purpose. Hitters give you nothing and it's a 3-for-50 line and you move on. A pitcher gives you nothing in the way of 5 IP, 10 ER and a 2.00 WHIP line and you wanna crawl into a ball in the corner of your shower and cry like you just figured out Einhorn is Finkle and Finkle is Einhorn. Rookies and Craigslist ads that read, "5′ 7″, 120 lbs., fitness model who loves cooking and cleaning and sex" are often very similar. Expectations and reality don't always run hand in hand. When looking at rookies, you should expect nothing. Actually, expect to drop them by May. With that said, Brian Matusz has electric stuff and deserves his own post. So what can we expect of Brian Matusz for 2010 fantasy baseball?
Please, blog, may I have some more?2010 Fantasy Baseball Rookies
Check out the catcher pool as it deepens. First, Wieters. Then Jesus Montero (I don't plan on covering him. The Yankees are not the type of organization to turn over catching duties to a rookie enough to make an impact out of the starting gates in 2010.), Carlos Santana and Buster Posey. What's next, a fourth Molina brother, W.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I know what you were thinking when you saw the name Logan Morrison. Whatever happened to Nook Logan? Glad you asked. After he was named in the Mitchell Report under the sub-section, "Steroids Don't Always Work," he opened the "Change The Game Athletic Performance Enhancement, Motivational Speaking & Consulting." (Center?
Please, blog, may I have some more?I had a whole lot to say about Ian Desmond when he was first called up. I rambled for a few sentences about Bowden on a Segway and how old youngster, Esmailyn Gonzalez really is. He's a Latin 20-something. He's also known as Carlos Lugo now. This is brilliant. How cool would it be if at least once a year a retired player tried to make a comeback under an alias? Have you seen this new Dominican prospect for the Braves?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Excitement froth from my mouth last year when I wrote, "Jason Heyward, besides having the surname of a 1930s matinee idol, has the mitts of a Yeti and the sturdies (<– that's legs) of Frank Thomas. His man gams are 117% oak. Heyward just saved your life and you didn't even know you were in danger. Look over your left shoulder — quickly! See that shadow shrinking out of the room? That was Heyward. He's now going to Ireland to sing harmony with that Once guy. So being a globetrotting, harmonizing, crime fighting love child of a Yeti and Frank Thomas is all well-and-good, but can the the Braves outfield prospect, Jason Heyward, help you in fantasy baseball leagues in 2009?
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our ongoing 2010 fantasy baseball rookie look, we bring you a name I went over as recently as August in a Neftali Feliz keeper post. Thank you for reading from The Department of Redundancy Department! Because he still falls in the rookie category (under 50 innings pitched), I must, I must increase my Neftali Feliz fuss. Feliz went to the Rangers from the Braves in the trade of Teixeira. (Also included in that trade was Elvis Andrus, Matt Harrison and Jarrod Saltymochachino. This was the last major move by Schuerholz. It's like when your boss at El Pollo Loco tells you in the morning that today is your last day, then you replace the shredded cheese with your pubic hair and rob the cash register, leaving a note that says, "It was the new guy." Schuerholz left that note for Frank Wren.) Feliz proceeded to cruise through the minors — in 276 innings, he had 325 Ks and a 3.03 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Then he dominated in the majors — in 31 innings, 39 Ks, 1.74 ERA and a 0.68 WHIP. What's next? The moon! Gravity's for junk ball throwers! But, first, let's look at what we can expect from Neftali Feliz in 2010 fantasy baseball.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Carlos Santana is getting a 2010 fantasy baseball rookie post because I know people will ask about him. See, I'm psychic. BTW, I wouldn't bring in the mail today. Just a bunch of bills and a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond. Carlos Santana is the catcher prospect the Dodgers traded to the Indians for Casey Blake. TMZ reported Jamie McCourt did the aforementioned trade because Carlos Santana looks eerily similar to Edward James Olmos, who was Frank McCourt's reason for watching "every single, goddamn Miami Vice rerun." Only later did Mrs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last year, Brandon Allen treaded his six-two, two-hundred and thirty-five pound man-gams through Double- and Triple-A before hitting the majors in August. And by hitting the majors, I don't mean hitting in the majors. As Lil Jon once said in grade school, I come correct with my prepositions, okaaaay!!!!! In the minors in 2009, Allen slashed .298/.373/.503 with 20 homers, cutting his strikeout rate for the 2nd year in a row. However, that didn't carry over to the majors, whiffing 40 times in 104 at-bats. Though, that was a small sample size… that's what she said!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last year, Desmond Jennings won the Rays Minor League Player of the Year honors. In Double and Triple-A in 2009, Desmond Jennings had a slash line of .305/.391/.457 while chucking in 11 homers. You might be thinking it was a slow year in the Rays organization. Yeah, the opposite is true here, friend. Jennings stole 52 bases. (His minor league ups and downs were broken down further in a Scouting the Unknown in June.) To recap, 11 homers and 52 steals. HAVE MY CHILDREN! Whoa, Mr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?First, I looked for anecdotal evidence on Mr. Stanton. I found in 2007 the Red Sox offered to trade Manny to the Marlins, while paying his salary, for Mike Stanton. The Marlins obviously refused. Interesting, but the last time Marlins traded a prospect for a big name was exactly never. Still, the Marlins (along with others) saw something in the then 17-year-old. At 18, Stanton didn't disappoint. In Single-A, he hit 39 homers while slashing .293/.381/.611. There's light tower power in his man-frame of 6'5″, 210 lbs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

There are no active forum topics for this Metal Album
Motorhead are one of the best bands ever and this awesome hard hitting album shows why. This is a real metal treat all the way through not one bad song or any filler just plain awesomess! This is Motorhaed!
I agree with all the reviewers that gave this 5 stars. You can't hate this! Any Motorhead fan would love to crank this all day till the next door neighbors's lawn turns brown and dies! This is top notch Motorhead that launched them into this modern world,new and familiar at the same time. Great for old fans and for newbeez!
This is one of the best Motorhead Albums I have ever heard. Having it is a must for any Motorhead fan.
If you really like Motorhead , there is no doubt you will like this disc. I found it to be very much in the hard rocking tradition of Lemmy and the boys without being a churned out replica of previous albums.

Oil Prices Fall as US 'Fiscal Cliff' Approaches
Oil prices fell as much as $2 a barrel Friday as doubts grew about whether political leaders in Washington could reach a deal on the fiscal cliff before the new year.
Oil prices fell as much as $2 a barrel Friday as doubts grew about whether political leaders in Washington could reach a deal on the fiscal cliff before the new year.
The price of gasoline fell Tuesday after Hurricane Sandy left a wide swath of flooding, power outages and disrupted transportation in the eastern U.S.
The price of oil rose more than 3 percent Tuesday on concerns about supplies from the Middle East and the North Sea.
Most commodities rallied in the third quarter, but can they hold on to their advance? Read on, and find out which ones still have legs to dance their way higher, and which are poised to take a tumble. The short answer to that from analysts is that gold and oil are likely to advance, while grains and sugar are among those that probably won't, but there will be a lot of different factors to consider.
The price of oil is climbing on reports that U.S. factories have cranked into a higher gear. Benchmark U.S. crude increased Monday by $1.07 to $104.09 per barrel in New York while Brent crude rose by 68 cents to $123.56 per barrel in London.
Oil prices rose slightly to near $106 a barrel Friday in Asia after the U.S. denied reports it and Britain plan to release some their strategic crude reserves. Benchmark oil for April delivery was up 40 cents to $105.51 at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 32 cents to settle at $105.11 per barrel in New York on Thursday. Brent crude for May delivery was up 55 cents at $123.15 per barrel in London.
During most of June, Western Refining followed the rest of the market down, dipping as much as 16.5%. However, its shares have since perked up -- and they have much farther to rise. The refiner is in a prime position to take advantage of a wide spread between the price of crude oil and gasoline.
The theme for Thursday is big players adjusting to a changing world: Citigroup is shutting down a major hedge fund it used for soon-to-be-banned proprietary trading, Goldman has been subpoenaed over its role in the subprime mortgage crisis, and OPEC is thinking that it might need to pump more oil.
Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said his country cut oil production in March because the market was oversupplied. Was this move an honest bid to a bid to expose the speculators and push prices back down, or an attempt to capitalize on the current instability to propel prices higher?
Americans could see gasoline spiking 10% to 18% higher in coming weeks as a result of the unrest in the Middle East, but they're unlikely go above $4 a gallon -- unless the uprisings spread to Saudi Arabia. In that case, all bets are off.
Even though no reports of supply disruptions have surface, Brent crude hit $100 a barrel in London trading, while U.S. prices hovered near $90. Europe is more vulnerable because much of its crude flows through the Suez Canal and adjacent pipelines.

Campus Dining: It's great. They have pretty good variety of food.
Campus Dining: Very great options and for on campus dining, and accommodates vegetarian's and vegans with special foods.
Campus Dining: There are wonderful selections for vegetarians and vegans.
Campus Dining: The food here isn't as bad as i thought it would be. i thought i would be sick of it in a week. they do have the same things all the time, but it isn't bad food. the main dining hall is only open until 10:30pm though which is annoying when you're up late studying or with friends and you're hungry and without food. one of the markets is open until midnight, but for me that's not convenient because it's on the other side of campus
Campus Dining: The on campus dining is good. It has as much variety as off campus. You really have a lot to choose from and they make it so that they keep everyone in mind, including vegetarians, lactose-intolerants, etc. They also have markets on campus where you can use your meal plan also to get a larger variety of items to choose from. Meals plans are a set price that parents pay that is then put on a university issued card that you spend for the semester. If you run out, you have to ask your parents to put more on, so spend wisely.

COLUMBIA, SC — Dianne Mundo greeted a class of first-graders at Ballentine Elementary School with a cheery "Hola!" on Friday and immediately began immersing her small charges in the building blocks of Spanish.
First there was dancing to Spanish follow-along songs where the kids clapped, touched the ground and then jumped back up. There were lessons in numbers – "uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco" – and colors, "rojo, blanco, and cafe."
There was the Spanish version of "Hot Potato" where the laughing youngsters quickly passed a stuffed dog, "perro, perro!" and a bear, "osito, osito!" around the circle.
Ballentine is one of 10 elementary schools in Lexington-Richland 5 that offer a one-day a week class in Spanish to students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Seven Oaks Elementary offers German and River Springs Elementary offers French.
Mundo, a native of Puerto Rico who has taught in the district for 15 years, wishes that language immersion and the excitement that accompanies learning a foreign language could take place five days a week.
"We would love to have them more," she said of her students. "That is the only way you can really learn."
Public school administrators across the Midlands understand the importance of immersion in a foreign language and most offer daily language study at the middle and high school level.
But Lexington 1 is the only district that is embarking on language immersion projects programs at both the elementary and middle school levels.
"There are two things we are doing that no one else is doing," said Lexington 1 spokeswoman Mary Beth Hill.
The most intriguing involves what the district calls "partial immersion classes" that meet every day. Elementary students, who apply for the program through a lottery system, have two subjects in English, then learn math and science in the foreign language.
"She (the teacher) never speaks English to them," Hill said. "It's fascinating to watch." She said those who move to the district are particularly appreciative of the immersion component.
Lexington 1 also has made a foreign language part of the core curriculum at middle schools, a move supported by parents. Lexington 1 grew by 500 students this past year and Hill suggests some of that growth can be attributed to the expanded language programs.
Other districts say their elementary and middle programs are bustling, even if it is not on a daily basis.
In Richland 1, 50 minutes of Spanish or French instruction is taught weekly in grades three-five in all elementary schools.
Middle school students have the option of taking Spanish as well as Chinese, French, German and Latin in certain schools. Richland 1 high schools offer French and Spanish in each school, and some also offer Chinese, German and Latin.
Quin Yuan spends the majority of her time teaching Chinese at Dehrer High School, but for one period a day she goes to Hand Middle School where she teaches a class of eighth graders. She believes learning languages provides students a window to other countries and cultures and a boost in career development.
"It helps them open their eyes in how to interpret another culture and learn about another culture," Yuan said. She has had a few students go on to major in Chinese in college or use the language instruction as a building block for international business.
"I would suggest to them if you want to do international business or international affairs, the Chinese language is one you cannot avoid," she said.
In Richland 2, Spanish is offered at all seven middle schools with French offered at Blythewood, Dent and E.L. Wright Middle schools, and Latin at Dent.
Windsor Elementary, which is an International Baccalaureate school, offers Spanish to its K-5 students twice a week, but no other elementary school offers a foreign language.
Middle school students in Lexington-Richland 5 have access to French, Spanish and German. CrossRoads Middle, which houses sixth-grade students only, offers a nine-week course called Introduction to World Languages. Based on Latin, it introduces students to language study through Latin, Spanish, French and German, said district spokeswoman Michelle Foster.
In some smaller Midlands districts, including Lexington 2, Lexington 3 and Kershaw County, foreign language offerings in both middle and elementary remain limited or non-existent.
"This is definitely on our 'wish list' once our revenue streams stabilize," said Kershaw spokeswoman Mary Anne Byrd.
In Lexington 2, offerings are limited to Spanish at one elementary school and one middle school. But the district does have a pilot program at Brookland-Cayce Grammar School No. 1, which provides 25 minutes of instruction three days a week and is studying a "blended virtual model" at the middle school level.
Mundo, the Ballentine teacher, said she believes learning a language is critical in today's world.
"We are in the 21st century, it's a global community and we have to prepare our students," she said.

An Alborn family returned to their home Tuesday night and found it was filled with smoke and on fire.
The St. Louis County sheriff's office said the fire happened at the home at 8916 Aerie Lake Road in Alborn shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Crews were able to contain the fire to the main floor bathroom and upstairs bedroom. The family living there also have two children, but no one was home at the time.
The fire appears accidental, the sheriff's office said. But the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
