I paid a higher price for this fork to receive the Salsa quality, and the better disc caliper post mounts. I got a well made fork, but no post mount fornthe caliper. Looks like Salsa stopped making the fork this way, nand did notbtell the retailers.

Your advert on pureholidayhomes.com presents your property to our huge audience of holiday makers – we'll do everything we can to bring people to the site and encourage them to search and enquire for properties, but there is a lot you can do to enhance and improve your advert, to get the most out of listing with us.
There are four stages to consider in generating an enquiry.
- Show up in search results.*
- Look good in search results.
- Look good under scrutiny.
- Encourage people to enquire.
In this first blog post we look at part 1 and 2 – Appearing, and looking good in search results.
Show up in search results.
This could probably be rephrased 'show up in the most relevant search results' because this is where your potential customers will be searching – So by getting your details as accurate as possible you will show up to the right people, rather than being an irrelevant property in the wrong search results.
Make sure you're number of bedrooms, sleeps, location, theme, suitable for and rates are accurate.
Other factors affecting your appearance in search results are how up to date your advert is, and if you have rates set. If you've not set rates for a period that someone is searching for, you'll not show up in search results at all.
Keep your rates up to date, and set them for far into the future, at least a rolling 12 months in advance.
Another benefit of updating your advert will be that your advert will be automatically returned to the top of the search results; therefore you are rewarded for updating your advertisement. Any simple update which is then "saved' will be enough to do this but the best update will be one to your calendar which states the date of update for all to see.
Look good in search results.
Your ideal customer has run a search and you've appeared – you're just one of many results, how can you get viewed?
Again, relevance plays a part – your property might be relevant but unless it's clear in the search result you may get overlooked. Your property needs to look and sound appealing, and also provide assurance as to quality and authenticity. Take a look at what we show in search results.
- Photos – your 4 'cover' photos are shown, with the main image being cover image 1. Pick 4 photos that summarise the 4 key aspects of your property – the first image should probably be a well taken shot photo of your property or other eye catching image that is going to wow the viewer. (Read our article – Get the most from your property photographs)
- Title – This is the descriptive title of your advert, it should sell your unique selling points and also be distinct and memorable if the customer comes back later. There is no need to use a location if the location is correctly set for your advert.
- Rates – accurate pricing is fine, competitive pricing can help give you an edge, prices from '£1' won't look like a bargain but instead look untrustworthy.
- Reviews are hugely important and are clearly indicated in search results. Statistics show that properties with 5 or more reviews generate 33% more enquiries than those without. If you have reviews from previous guests on other sites please feel free to upload these yourself.
- The short description for your advert appears in the results and should provide a succinct idea of what is available.
- The ID verification badge shows that pureholidayhomes.com has independently verified the identity of the person listing the advert. Owners with the VERIFIED badge will provide a potential holidaymaker with the comfort that they are dealing with an owner who has successfully proven their identification and authenticity. If you haven't yet been verified then call +44 (0)1753 728 730 to go through the process.
So now please go and take a look at how your property appears in search results, and consider the points above and if you could potentially make improvements.
*Showing up in 'Search Engines' is a different matter but equally important. – We'll come back to this!
If you found this useful, please share it – and follow updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Ash's Gible is a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon owned by Ash. Ash caught Gible in the Sinnoh Region. He could not learn Draco Metor at first when Ash and Gible were training. He always used to throw Draco Meteor on Dawn's Piplup (though seemingly not intentionally).
Ash first encountered his Gible when he met Old Lady Wilma, a woman who teaches Dragon Pokémon the special move Draco Meteor. Ash assisted Gible in the learning of the move and Gible decided to follow Ash. He also has the habit of biting onto heads. Later on, Ash noticed Gible followed him and eventually captured him. He has many powerful attacks such as Draco Meteor, Dig and Dragon Pulse.
He has been in quite a lot of trouble as Piplup seems to get hit by the failed Draco Meteor. In that episode Gible battled Barry's Empoleon and lost easily.Gible has been appearing in the two following episodes DP158 and DP159, when Gible once again hit Piplup with Draco Meteor and chewed on rocks and sunk in the water and had to be saved by Ash's Buizel.Gible wasn't seen again until DP164 where he expanded Piplup's couch gag which made Piplup learn Hydro Pump and run away.
He also helped out Ash and Volkner breaking the cage with Rock Smash in DP166 and a cameo appearance in DP167 and DP168. Also battling Dawn's Togekiss in DP172 and appear as a small appearances in DP173 onward. In DP185 he perfected Draco Meteor and used it to defeat Conway's Shuckle and to cause enough damage to Conway's Dusknoir to allow him to finish it with Dragon Pulse. Ash's Gible lost against Tobias and his Darkrai although he was able to hit Darkrai with Rock Smash. Currently he resides at Professor Oak's Lab
Ash's Gible likes to bite things, as is typical of his species. He seems to be able to digest rock and certain kinds of metal. He also has a mischievous streak.
Known movesEdit
|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!
|Draco Meteor
|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!
|Dragon Pulse
|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!
|Rock Smash
|Gotta Get a Gible!
|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
Voice actorsEdit
- Daisuke Sakaguchi (Japanese)
- Tom Wayland (English)
- Gible is Ash's first Dragon-type Pokémon and the first one he's caught with the potential to become a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.
- He bites Ash on the head just like Turtwig did.
- He's the 2nd Pokémon that Ash caught after it followed him around. The first was Aipom.
- Gible's Draco Meteor usually fails, knocking out Dawn's Piplup. In Piplup, Up and Away!, this makes Piplup angry and he gives Gible a beating.
- ^ DP156: A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!, Gible does have a grooved fin

Customer Raves & Reviews
Magnet Street was great. They meticulously reviewed my order (Save the Date Magnets and Carrier Cards) before processing it and called me with questions and concerns. Once I received the finished product the quality was excellent and it was exactly what I was looking for and ordered. It also arrived in very beautiful packing as a bonus. I will use and recommend Magnet Street in the future.
Great Magnets!
I highly recommend magnet street to other couples for their save-the-dates and/or wedding invitations.
Fits theme perfectly
Without a doubt, the easiest decision I have made so far on the wedding. My fiancé, who is not easily impressed loved them. Lindsay was great to work with!

Taking a lens launched in 1999 and testing it against more current models is always going to be an interesting exercise. Fortunately for the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM, the test data backs up what users have known for years – it really is very good. If you've got one and have been considering an upgrade to the Mark II version, you will find improved optical performance, though not by much. The main benefits will be in the reduction in weight (2,550g vs 2,400g) and the improved Image Stabiliser that offers up to four stops rather than two stops. Canon also claim the AF of the Mk II version is improved.
On the other hand, if you're in the market for a 300mm lens and don't currently own one, then your main deciding factor will be price. The EF300mm f/4L IS USM may not be quite as good as its more expensive stable-mates, but it still puts in a very respectable performance. Equally, if you can't stretch to the cost of the latest Mk II 300mm f/2.8L, then picking up a second-hand EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM is going to offer you very similar performance, for quite a lot less money. In fact, if you don't need the extra IS stops and the 150g weight difference is not an issue, then the older lens is probably the pick of the trio as it blends great performance with a more affordable second-hand price tag.

There are several incorrections in the review. For example sharpness (P-Mpix) score is confused with overall DXomark Score.
For example:
Attached to the APS-C sensored EOS 7D, the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM once again puts in a strong performance, scoring 16.7P-Mpix, relative to the EOS 7D's resolution of 18megapixels. Equally, the Pentax lens scores very well, managing 15.0P-Mpix compared to the 16.3megapixels available on the K-5. Overall, this shows the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM is as good as it's made out to be, but in this comparison, the Pentax on a K-5 is not that far behind.
EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM + 7D =11P-Mpix not 16.7P-Mpix as mentioned.
DA Star 300mm f/4 ED (IF) SDM + Pentax K-5=only 7P-Mpix not 15.

Re: incorrections
There was indeed a mistake.
This part was only talking about DxOMark score.
Thanks a lot for letting us know, it should now be corrected.

Furthermore in the [url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/With-new-STM-technology-does-Canon-s-updated-18-135mm-still-deliver/Comparisons]review[/url] of Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM lens
In comparison section:
Tested on the flagship APS-C DSLRs from Canon and Nikon, the 7D and D7000, these two Super Zooms achieve remarkably similar results. Overall we can say they're the same optically although the Nikon version hits a DxOMark Score of 13 just nudging out the Canon with 12.
The screenshot shows us not D7000 but D300 with the score 10 not 13 as mentioned.

Redline: the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. Only held once every five years, everyone wants to stake their claim to fame - including JP, a reckless dare-devil driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized car.

Amongst the other elite rival drivers in the tournament, JP falls for the alluring Sonoshee - but will she prove his undoing, or can a high speed romance survive a mass destruction race?

Insurance Policy Management
At over 37,000 transactions per hour, this Accenture and HP benchmark modeled a mix of complex policy administration activities that a large insurance carrier would expect on a peak day of business processing. Based on data collected from three different Tier 1 insurance carriers, it demonstrates that Microsoft SQL Server 2012 offers a material increase in throughput.

OpenText, a global ECM leader, helps organizations manage and gain the true value of their business content. During the benchmark study, the OpenText Email Monitoring solution running on SQL Server 2012 processed 14.8 million messages in 24 hours. This far exceeds any known published benchmark results for email monitoring solutions and is approximately 15 times higher than the typical message ingestion volume for large organizations that process 1-1.5 million messages per day.

US 103.5 Cares for Kids Radiothon raises $117,321 for All Children's Hospital
Nov. 7, 2008 (St. Petersburg, FL) Tampa Bay's best country radio station has stepped up for the region's premiere children's hospital.
The first annual US 103.5 Cares for Kids Radiothon raised $117,321 for All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL.
The two-day on-air event on Thursday, Nov. 6 & Fri. Nov. 7 featured families and patients from all across the region - places like Arcadia, Odessa, Lakeland, Sarasota, Tampa and St. Petersburg. They shared their stories of expert and compassionate care they received at All Children's Hospital.
"This new outpouring of community support in the midst of a tough economy is greatly appreciated and much needed," says Gary Carnes, President and CEO of All Children's Health System. "A brand-new All Children's Hospital is nearing its December 2009 completion date. These dollars will help us as we build what we hope will be the last children's hospital our region's kids will ever need - a bigger facility geared toward families with room to accommodate the technology of tomorrow."
"US 103.5 / WFUS is honored and humbled by the outpouring of support from our community for this inaugural All Children's Hospital fundraiser," said Dan Diloreto, President / Market Manager for Clear Channel Radio / Tampa Bay, FL. "It is our pleasure to provide this forum to our listeners to assist in the construction of the brand new All Children's Hospital. Our staff was touched by the courageous stories of the families & proud that we made a community of new lifelong friends in the past two days."

Chevy Chase-based New Enterprise Associates stands to reap a fortune fromTableau Software Inc.'s newly public stock, which is up about 60 percent in its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday.
NEA is the single biggest venture backer of the Seattle-based data analytics company (NYSE: DATA). The firm sold 1 million shares of Tableau stock in the offering, and is holding on to another 18.5 million shares, or about 37 percent of the company. With Friday's pop, that stake is valued at more than $900 million.
New Enterprise, it should be noted, has a tendency to hold on to IPO stock for quite a while, long past when the traditional lock-up period ends. So whatever Tableau is worth today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is an almost purely academic discussion, as far as NEA is concerned.
In any event, this is a big win for the venture giant. NEA funded Tableau over several rounds, beginning with a $5 million investment in 2004. In 2008, it doubled down on the company with a $10 million Series B round, and snapped up 2.4 million shares more in a tender offer two years later, at a price of $14.2 million, according to documents filed with the SEC.
Tableau raised $254 million in the IPO.

Glad to see you are objective about this.
I don't think you know what objective means.
I don't think you know what AA really is.
I know it as well as you've described it.
Have you ever been to a meeting? Do you know anyone who is in the AA program?
No. No.
Why do you just dismiss AA out of hand, because of your aversion to Mysticism? Even if there is an element of mysticism, does that invalidate the whole process?
Its not one thing. Its many things. I told you some of the good things that I saw. And one of the bad things—the irrational part about "giving in to a higher being of your understanding".
It appears to me that you just have a "knee jerk" when it comes to anything tainted by what you perceive as mysticism, hypnosis etc.
You should stick to content rather than vague statements about how I perceive stuff and how I "react" to those perceptions.
In fact, you dont seem to want AA to work. I predict you will completely disregard my personal experience in AA and the results I have observed in thousands of people.
I told you that self-fulfilling prophecies happen. And I think you agreed. And I think you agreed that this part of AA is a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I don't understand what you're having a problem with.
Just hypothetically, what if AA did work even with an element of mysticism. What if AA worked better than any purely logical method.
How would you find out that it does or doesn't work better than "any purely logical method"? Are you suggesting that an organization tries using the "logical methods" to help people stop drinking? Are you going to include the parts that you described about AA involving social support?
(it does in my experience) If AA worked much better than the purely logical methods (whatever and wherever they are??) Would you still try to convince those who were no longer drinking that their belief in mysticism was evil and abhorrent and they would be better of drinking until they could solve their problem logically. People like me for instance.
I've already told you that people should solve their problems using the best knowledge they know how. If AA is that knowledge then so be it.
The results I saw show that AA works for 5% of the people that go into AA. I'd call that a failure. See this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF72vvW-y3M
First you say it is impossible to have accurate statistical studies on AA and the next thing you do is quote me statistics.
Those stats are supposedly objective—according to said AA internal study—by objective I mean that they didn't involve questions for people to answer. IIRC, the stuff you explained previously, which is the stuff I was criticizing, involved asking people questions, hence subjective.
What do you mean by "swimming upstream"? Are you saying that you were conflicted? (By conflicted I mean having two conflicting ideas.)
What do you mean by "swimming with the current"? Are you saying that you weren't conflicted anymore?
It is hard to explain. I don't know, it's just how I feel about my approach to life with AA and before AA. For now lets call it a psychological trick that has helped me with Alcoholism. Yes, "truth in lending", I am puzzled why this "Higher Power" thing seems to help, however no other method did. I am a highly logical person with strong will power, but AA is the only thing that works for me.Soooo, I take what I need and leave the rest behind like lots of others. and…............... nobody is trying to coerce me into a further venture into their personal brand of "Mysticism" Not even the Born Again Christians who also happen to be in AA.
You haven't described how you "feel" very well. So far you've said "swimming with the current" vs "swimming against the current". The only thing I can parse from that is "not conflicted" and "conflicted"—and you said thats not it.
I don't know what questions to ask you for you to describe it better.

Jordan unblocks some news websites: vast majority remain banned
The Jordanian government on Wednesday unblocked a number of news websites that have rectified their licenses, days after more than 250 websites were banned.
A total of 9 websites were unblocked, including Al Bawaba.
The move follows a government crackdown on news websites that failed to comply with government licensing restrictions. Hundreds of websites were blocked on Sunday, after a letter was sent from the Head of the Press and Publications Department (PPD) to the Telecommuincations Regulatory Commission (TRC).
Amendments to the 2012 Press and Publications Law meant that websites had to operate within the same framework as traditional media companies in the Kingdom.
Media proessionals protested vehemently against the changes and some news websites continue to refuse users the ability to leave comments, in a show of frustration against the amendments.
The majority of the websites that were listed, including Jordan Days and Saraya News, remain banned and continue to display the message "The requested URL is banned at the request of telecommunication regulatory commission."
Top Headlines
I for one am so happy to read this as AlBawaba is one of my favorite online news spot. About the only online news sites I have not been able to access to leave comments, is the Sana-A and Iran Today. Both [I believe] are owned by their respective governments. Al Jazeera purchased a cable site in the US and I have anxiously been awaiting that as right now comments to their site online are routed to facebook.

Term limits on the ballot
Term limits on the ballot: This subtopic of "elections and campaigns" refers to the use, increase or decrease of term limits on public officials. Term limits are a legal restriction on the number of terms a person may serve in a particular office. Ballotpedia also includes term lengths in this definition. Limits vary by state. State executives, state legislative representatives, judges and board officials are some of the offices with term limits.
- South Dakota Repeal Term Limits, Constitutional Amendment J (2008)
- Nevada U.S. Congressional Term Limits, Question 17 (1996)
Term limit
A term limit is a legal restriction that limits the number of terms a person may serve in a particular elected office.
There are different types of term limits. Sometimes, there is an absolute limit on the number of terms a person can serve, while in other cases, the restrictions are merely on the number of consecutive terms.
Ballot measures lists
Use of term limits
Term limits have a long history: ancient Greece and ancient Rome, two early civilizations which had elected political offices, both imposed limits on some positions. In ancient Athenian democracy, no citizen could serve on the boule more than twice, or be head of the boule more than once. In the Roman Republic, a law was passed imposing a limit of a single term on the office of Censor.
Many modern presidential republics employ term limits for their highest offices. The United States, one of the first countries of the modern era to have elected political offices, has a limit of two terms on its presidency, and on a number of other political offices as well, such as state governors and some state legislators. Formal limits date back to 1776, when limits were placed on serving as Governor of Delaware. Term limits are also common in Latin America, where most countries are also presidential republics. In some countries, such as Mexico, it is strictly forbidden for a person to serve as president on more than one occasion, even if one of the appointments was only temporary.
Countries which operate a parliamentary system of government are less likely to employ term limits on their leaders. This is because such leaders rarely have a set "term" at all — rather, they serve as long as they have the confidence of the legislature, a period which could potentially last indefinitely. Nevertheless, such countries may impose term limits on the holders of other offices -- in republics, for example, a ceremonial presidency may have a term limit, especially if it has reserve powers.
Offices of local government, such as a mayoralty, may also have term limits.
In favor of limits
- "It prevents incumbents from using the benefits of office to remain in power indefinitely." In some situations, merely being in office provides an elected official with a distinct advantage in further elections. Supporters of term limits argue that this advantage is undemocratic, and means that incumbents no longer fear losing their offices and cease to be concerned with the needs of their constituents. Term limits ensure that all officials are eventually removed from power.
- "It makes room for fresh candidates, and encourages participation." Imposing term limits on an office ensures that there will always be vacancies for new candidates to pursue. This may encourage citizens who would normally not consider running for office to do so, as they will not be challenging an established, entrenched opponent. Many proponents claim that term limits will increase diversity in a legislature, bringing the law-making body's demographics more in line with those of the general population.
- "It stops politicians from making choices solely to prolong their career." If a politician can serve as many terms as they wish, they may be tempted to follow policies which will ensure their long-term political survival, rather than policies which further the interests of voters. Supporters of term limits sometimes argue that if politicians know from the beginning of their service that their time in office is limited, they will act differently (and less self-servingly) than "career" legislators.
- "It reduces the advantage which can be gained by a representative's seniority." In some legislatures, power and influence tend to increase as a legislator gains seniority — a politician who has served many terms will carry more responsibility than one who has just been elected, even if both are representing the same number of voters. If one district continually re-elects the same politician, while another district frequently changes its politician, the first district will have greater sway in the legislature than the second, because its representative has had time to accrue seniority. Term limits ensure that each district has representatives of similar seniority.
Against limits
- "It is undemocratic." The most common argument against the use of term limits is that it takes away the right of voters to be represented by the politician of their choice. It is argued that if the public wish to re-elect their representative, it is undemocratic to prevent them from doing so. Allow the electorate to do its job, argue opponents, and non-responsive legislators can still be held accountable.
- "It results in a lack of experienced politicians." Term limit opponents argue that, with experience, comes greater skill. The very use of the term "freshman representative" is indicative of the fact that the first-term legislator is less likely to be able to "get things done" in the legislature. It is further argued that inexperienced politicians will be more reliant on advice and guidance from un-elected officials and lobbyists. Permanent committee staffers, who ostensibly work for the representatives, would become more knowledgeable and powerful than the members themselves. Moreover, lobbyists in the employ of special interests might tend to grow more powerful, as they can offer to "help" inexperienced members gain a foothold. Because both staffers and lobbyists are unelected, opponents argue, term limits are undemocratic because it places more power in the hands of the unelected.
- "It means that politicians approaching their term limit no longer have to worry about what voters think." Another argument against term limits is that it is the very fact that politicians need to go back to the voters for approval and re-election that keeps them responsive. With term limits, a lame duck legislator no longer has any motivation to continue heeding the concerns of his constituents. In such a circumstance, a legislator could use their last term to set themselves up for a job in the private sector after the end of their legislative career.
- "It simply results in frequent trading of office between the same people, not an influx of new people." In contrast to the claims that term limits allow new faced to enter politics, opponents claim that there are enough political offices for elected officials to simply "play musical chairs."In response to claims that term limits promote diversity, on August 15, 2006 the United States' National Conference of State Legislatures issued a report at its annual meeting stating that "term limits have not led to significant increases in female or minority representation in state legislatures, according to a survey of the 15 states with term limits."[1]

The question that cannot be answered based on the DxOMark testing for camera sensors is whether the lens fitted to the Canon SX50 HS lives up to the very capable sensor. Based on the data however, it would be a big mistake to overlook this camera. The creative possibilities available with such a wide range zoom lens: flattening perspective, shooting wildlife and sports, travel and landscape: let's face it, pretty well any kind of photography make it an enormously versatile package at what appears to be a very reasonable price.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
For photographers who just can't get enough telephoto power, there's the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS HS. This camera packs a whopping 50X, 24 - 1200mm lens, which is more than you'll find on any other super zoom on the market (at least for now). While having all that telephoto power sounds appealing, keep in mind that you'll need to either use a tripod or crank up the ISO a bit in order to get a sharp photo at full telephoto, and of course the latter comes with a penalty in image quality. The SX50 HS has received a nice face-lift since last year's PowerShot SX40, with good control placement and solid build quality. The only thing I don't really like is the rear dial, which is flush with the four-way controller and difficult to turn. I think this camera would also benefit from having a side-mounted zoom controller, which you'll find on some of its competitors.

Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
This would be a fantastic bridge camera if the optics were faster. Max. aperture "only" f/3.4 @24mm - f/6.5 @1200mm.
Assuming the max. aperture grows linearly when zooming in, you get f/5 @600mm. Panasonic FZ200 has f/2.8 @ 600mm! This means 2 2/3 EV advantage, in other words shooting FZ200 @600mm f/2.8 & ISO400 would mean @600mm SX50 f/5 & around ISO 1300! That high ISO will destroy the image badly.
Of course, you cannot enjoy the long end of the zoom 600mm - 1200mm with FZ200...

Re: Great sensor but the max. aperture of the lens...
Well, the f2.8 of the FZ200 sounds better than it is in reality.
Compare to the SX50, the noise performence of the FZ200 is much worse.
For example, when you zoom to 600mm with the FZ200 in F2.8 iso100
and you have.. lets say a shutterspeed of 1/120s ...
you just can put the SX50 in ISO400 easily and still have the same noise performence as the FZ200.
The very good noise performence of the SX50 compare to the FZ200 is kind of
an equalizer to the constant aperture of the FZ200.
The SX50 delivers a better imagequality in general. i would say the best of all
bridge/megazooms so far.
in addition.. iso1600 is still very good usable on the SX50(especially in raw).. on the FZ200 its total crap.

The Baltimore Ravens have held various minicamps and organized team activities during the past two months, each installment acquainting Aaron Mellette more with his new job as an NFL player.
And now it's time to get down to work in full.
The former Elon University star receiver reports today for training camp, along with other Ravens rookies. Veterans arrive Wednesday. A day later the grind of practices and meetings commences.
Eventually, a 90-man training camp roster will be pared into a 53-man squad.
Mellette, a seventh-round draft choice, the 238th overall selection taken 17 picks before the end, is approaching the coming weeks with a no-nonsense focus on the business of professional football.
"You're going in there trying to make a name for yourself, trying to impress the coaching staff and trying to prove you're good enough to be kept around," he said. "And you're going in there to not only earn a spot, but you're going in there to try to take another guy's spot, another guy who's trying to feed his family."
Mellette, Elon's second NFL draftee in the last 21 years, can envision himself ultimately developing into one of the league's go-to receivers — an "alpha dog," in his words — as he became in college on the Football Championship Subdivision level.
That's a hopeful destination for the future.
In the here and now, he has formed and written down two primary goals:
-- Learn Baltimore's playbook as quickly as possible and reach a strong understanding of it.
-- Make the team and make an impact.
"Those goals are going to start changing as the season goes along," he said. "They might even change during training camp, depending on how stuff goes."
Training camp with the Super Bowl champion Ravens figures to offer plenty of opportunities for aspiring receivers to shine and earn playing time.
Anquan Boldin was traded in March and behind top targets Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones, the depth chart is wide open, yet also packed with unproven candidates striving to secure roster spots.
Tandon Doss, David Reed, Tommy Streeter, Deonte Thompson and LaQuan Williams are the main competition for Mellette. Basic math suggests one from that group of six, Mellette included, likely won't be retained on Baltimore's final 53-man roster.
"I haven't stepped on a real NFL field yet," Mellette said, "so those guys, they're already ahead of me on the experience curve. But I'm not going to shy away from the moment when it presents itself."
Mellette already has switched jersey numbers, discarding the No. 80 he had originally with the Ravens in favor of No. 13.
Visually, it's not much of a departure from the No. 3 he wore so stylishly at Elon while amassing 304 catches, 4,264 receiving yards and 44 touchdown grabs to rank second in Southern Conference history in each category.
"I feel more like myself when I see a '3' there on my number," he said.
The 23-year-old Mellette wants to stay practical about the handsome new digits in his bank account.
He signed a four-year contract worth $2.2 million and is scheduled to be paid $405,000 this season, $495,000 in 2014, $585,000 in 2015 and $675,000 in 2016.
A certain message resonated last month at the NFL Rookie Symposium.
"You have an expiration date and nobody knows when that day is coming," he said, repeating the advice that struck a chord.
"Financially, I just look at it like try to save as much as possible, only get stuff I absolutely need. That money might not last forever."
Mellette has been on the move of late.
Las Vegas, to take part in a company retreat last weekend for Dow Lohnes Sports & Entertainment, the agency that represents him. He enjoyed the business meetings and bowling there.
Miami, to work out during the week of July 4 at Bommarito Performance, where he trained during most of January in preparation for the Senior Bowl.
Sanford, most recently, for a stopover to visit with family and friends, before training camp cranks up and the true demands of his new job take root.
Through it all, Mellette has maintained his morning running regimen that kicks off daily at 7:30 a.m.
"It would feel weird not to be working out," he said. "I'm just trying to stay focused and take it one day at a time, one meeting at a time, one play at a time. You've got to be your best every day, because every day you're competing for a spot."

The area is heating up. The National Weather Service has announced an excessive heat watch for this Thursday and Friday, with temperatures that will rise into the low to mid 90s. When outside temperatures are very high, the danger for heat-related illnesses rises. Older adults, young children, and people with mental illness and chronic diseases are at particularly high risk.
Here are some safety tips to avoid overheating and things to consider for the weekend:
Stay cool:
Spend more time in air conditioned places. If you don't have air conditioning, consider visiting a mall, movie theater or other cool public places.
Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun.
Dress in lightweight clothing.
Check up on your elderly neighbors and relatives and encourage them to take these precautions, too.
Drink liquids:
Drink plenty of water; this is very important. Avoid drinks with caffeine, alcohol and large amounts of sugar because they can actually de-hydrate your body.
Have a beverage with you as much as possible, and sip or drink frequently. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink.
If you go outside:
Limit the time you're in direct sunlight.
Do not leave infants, children, people with mobility challenges and pets in a parked car, even with the window rolled down.
Avoid or reduce doing activities that are tiring, or take a lot of energy.
Do outdoor activities in the cooler morning and evening hours.
Avoid sunburn. Use a sunscreen lotion with a high SPF (sun protection factor) rating.
Wear a hat or use an umbrella for shade.

Gaston County commissioners who orchestrated the resignation of their longtime county manager defended their handling of the matter Friday.
Jan Winters, a California native and former county manager in Florida, made $171,030 a year. He will now be entitled to six months of severance pay and insurance, plus other accrued benefits totaling more than $222,000.
Following a closed session meeting Thursday night, commissioners voted 4-1 to accept Winters' resignation. He had been the county manager more than 11 years.
Commission Chairman Mickey Price voted against the resignation. Winters could not be reached for comment Thursday night or Friday.
Assistant County Manager Phil Ponder was appointed as interim county manager Thursday. Commissioners have not discussed a timeline for hiring a permanent successor.
But in another wrinkle Friday evening, Ponder emailed all of the commissioners to make it clear he doesn't want the interim responsibility.
"Under the circumstances, I feel it would be better if someone else filled this role," Ponder wrote. "My views about the functioning of the form of government are far more rigid than those of Jan Winters, so I feel my assumption of the interim role will only lead to friction that will be beneficial to no one."
Criticism on both sides
The vote on accepting the manager's resignation took place after two of Winters' supporters on the county board refused to participate in a private discussion about his job performance. Commissioners Tom Keigher and Joe Carpenter had both left the Gaston County Courthouse by the time the closed session ended.
Keigher criticized commissioners Chad Brown, Alan Fraley, Tracy Philbeck and Jason Williams — who voted to accept the resignation — for devising a plan ahead of time to oust Winters. Keigher said it was improper for the majority four to team-up before the meeting and amass support, outside of the public eye.
"I can respect a majority decision of the board, but I cannot respect backroom deals where a decision was made," said Keigher on Thursday. "Only a fool wouldn't think it had been talked out (before the meeting)."
Williams and Philbeck said Keigher was being hypocritical.
Keigher said Thursday night that after conferring with other commissioners, he realized there wasn't enough backing for the 5.4-percent tax increase he supported.
Philbeck said that proves Keigher was talking to other commissioners ahead of time about public issues, just like he was.
Backroom deal or not?
Philbeck and Williams said they did nothing wrong in talking outside of a formal county commission meeting.
State law forbids a majority of an elected board from privately discussing public business. But it doesn't bar commissioners on a seven-member board from sharing their opinions with one another in pairs or threes.
"What you have to do is follow the law," said Philbeck. "The law doesn't say commissioners can't talk. The law says you can't get a majority of the board together and decide on matters behind closed doors."
Williams said he regrets that Thursday night's meeting turned into "a sideshow."
"We tried to handle this with as much class and respect for Mr. Winters as possible," he said. "I hate the way it ultimately went down."

This tutorial illustrates is how to generate a stream of SAX events from a CSV stream and how that stream of SAX events feeds into Smooks to generate an XML model that can be transformed further (in this case it is not).
|Table of Contents
SVN - Download - Other Tutorials
Other Relevant Info:
- edi-to-xml tutorial.
- CSVParser Configuration.
- SmooksXMLReader. The extension point for Smooks configured stream parsers.
To Build: "mvn clean install"
To Run: "mvn exec:java"
Transforming from CSV to XML
This is a very simple example that illustrates how Smooks to configure in a non-XML stream parser (CSV) into Smooks.
So here's the source csv file that is to be transformed:
|No Format
Tom,Fennelly,Male,4,Ireland Mike,Fennelly,Male,2,Ireland
And this is the expected result of our transformation (as generated by the CSVParser):
|No Format
<csv-set> <csv-record> <firstname>Tom</firstname> <lastname>Fennelly</lastname> <gender>Male</gender> <age>4</age> <country>Ireland</country> </csv-record> <csv-record> <firstname>Mike</firstname> <lastname>Fennelly</lastname> <gender>Male</gender> <age>2</age> <country>Ireland</country> </csv-record> </csv-set>
The Smooks Configuration
We simply specify the CSVParser as the stream parser. More transformation configurations could be added to transform this message further.
Here's the configuration ("smooks-config.xml"):
|No Format
<?xml version="1.0"?> <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.0.xsd"> <!--Configure the CSVParser to parse the message into a stream of SAX events. --> <resource-config selector="org.xml.sax.driver"> <resource>org.milyn.csv.CSVParser</resource> <param name="fields" type="string-list">firstname,lastname,gender,age,country</param> </resource-config> </smooks-resource-list>
Executing The Transformation
Again, it's exactly the same as with the java-basic tutorial:
|No Format
Smooks smooks = new Smooks("smooks-config.xml"); StringResult result = new StringResult(); smooks.filter(new StreamSource(messageIn), result);
Of course, you'd typically cache the Smooks instance.
See the example/Main.java in the example source.
