Here's to hoping summer won't leave us just yet! The weather's been so bad and stormish the past couple of days and today it just turned schitzo. Just awhile ago I could hear thunder warnings outside and now it seems like the sun is up and perky again. #freakyeffectsofglobalwarming
As for me, I think I'll stay all colorful and vibrant for as long as I want and not let the freakish gloomy weather influence me yet… nope, not now. In fact, this week, I'm preparing to style a very spring-summer engagement shoot and I'm excited to bring all the happy, pretty, lovey dovey vibes in our garden set. :) I'm just praying hard right now that all goes well (specifically and especially the weather!) We'll need good daylight to make everything work as planned. Really really hoping that mr. cloud would grant us our request and behave for a day!
Anywaaay… time to go back to work (on a Sunday!) Have a lovely one! :)

Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander will launch a round of early television advertisements in eight media markets around Tennessee, according to sources privy to ad buying data, more than a year before the state holds its primary elections.
Alexander will spend $180,000 to run two weeks of advertisements, the sources said. The vast majority of that money, $110,000, will go toward broadcast and cable advertisements in the Nashville market. Alexander's campaign will spend $10,000 and $14,000 on cable ads in the Memphis and Knoxville markets, respectively.
The campaign is also buying smaller lots of cable advertisements in Chattanooga, the Tri Cities, Jackson, Huntsville, Alabama and Paducah, Kentucky, all media markets that reach Tennessee voters. Alexander is also spending $24,000 on radio spots, an advisor to the campaign said.
The advertisement spotlights the Freedom to Fish Act, a law that delays plans by the Army Corps of Engineers to restrict access to fishing spots along the Cumberland River. Sign of the times: Sen. Rand Paul, the Tea Party darling from neighboring Kentucky, shows up three times in the ad. "Nobody wants to say no to Lamar Alexander," Paul says at one point (The Cumberland River runs through Kentucky as well).
Recent history offers a pretty convincing case that Alexander isn't worried about a Democratic opponent next year. Democrats haven't won a statewide office in Tennessee since 2006, when Gov. Phil Bredesen won a second term, and they haven't won a Senate seat since one Albert A. Gore Jr. won re-election in 1990, two years before Bill Clinton picked him to be vice president. The state swung hard right in 2010, when Republicans won three Democratic-held House seats.
But Alexander's advisors offer frequent hints that he's more concerned with a primary challenge. His campaign has polled Republican voters several times; they brag every time a survey comes back showing Alexander's high approval ratings. It's probably not a coincidence that Alexander's ad comes just a week after he joined 13 other Republicans in voting for the comprehensive immigration reform measure that passed the Senate.
Alexander has the money to burn. A top advisor said his campaign finance report, which is due in by July 15, will show Alexander raised $2 million in the second quarter of the year. Alexander started the quarter with $1.8 million in the bank.
Tennessee's primary is scheduled for August 7, 2014.

text: If there's one difference I noticed about being in college, it's that you don't feel as awkward when you tell everyone that you slept and did almost nothing during the entire break. I know that's what I did. In fact, when I asked my friends if they did any traveling over the break, most of them said they did the same thing as me. I had a very restful break with my little brother and parents at home. My family hosts a small potluck dinner on Christmas Eve every year with a few families. That combined with my parents' cooking put my makeshift cooking to shame (yes, I do actual cooking without a microwave), and made me reluctant to leave as the end of January came closer.

Dog??? Hat??? Sunglasses??? Well I'm shocked, I would never subject a dog to that.............Christmas lights aren't nearly as bad.
Dang girl, I'm gonna start calling you Taz Dundee. I have to ask though, anybody pack on your camping trips? Cause I think I would.
Starters???? What's that??? Aint any of you folk heard of good ol' fashioned kindling wood? Now that's the way to start a fire.

Yeah dad carries his 9mm and 357 with us--just in case--like I said we are in the wild, as you can tell from our buddies in the first pic--it's illegal to kill them, but if it comes down to family members or saving the wild life--I think we all know what we would pick...Originally Posted by Preacher
the fatwood starter or fatlighter as we call it is wood found out there--it's a type of wood that will burn and burn and burn--and has a very distinct odor--when you can't get a fire started--use that piece of wood and voila--you have fire.
and let me tell you about that dog---he doesn't know he's a dog--I bought him a squeaky toy for Christmas--he turned his nose up at it and refuses to play with it, cuz it's not fuzzy......hmpf he's rotten to the core....
Lol...has as a kid instead of a dog Gator sure does taste good

Have a Chinouiard mountaineering tent I picked up many years ago, very odd and very cool tent: It's a 7X7X7 foot floorless pyramid tent, coated nylon that doesn't quite go all the way to the ground between corners. Gotta use a groundcloth or tarp with it, but it weighs nothing (maybe a couple of pounds), provides shelter from the storm, is very roomy, and - very important in the mountains and deserts of the West - it's very very difficult for the wind to knock it down. Only thing I'd fault it for is that it's useless if you're expecting protection from bugs.
And big on cooking over a fire. Generally cook with nesting pots with bails, use a small hot fire and suspend the pot with a bit of lightweight chain from the end of a walking stick propped up at an angle sticking over the fire.
Camping techniques I'd picked up when my body worked and I was into backpacking, but lightweight, quick, simple, and easy always works.

ultralight Hiking
amphibious canoe excursions
and Wife trips, which is either car camping with all the heavy stuff, or involves room service and a pool.
Pine pitch is what it is.........find a rotten pine tree with good heart wood left in it and that's fatwood. It's basically just pine that has a high concentration of sap in it. Burns hot, burns long.....starts easy.Originally Posted by Taz38

Many modern parents use Theo as the short form for Theodore rather than the dated Ted--including some celebs, such as Dallas Bryce Howard-- but others bypass the Grandpa name Theodore entirely and skip right to the hip nickname Theo. Short and ultra-chic, Theo's a cool, contemporary baby name choice.
Theo first made an impact as the name of the only son on "The Cosby Show," earlier it was associated with Vincent Van Gogh's supportive brother Theo.
Theo is currently having a burst of popularity in Europe, ranking in the Top 20 in Sweden, France and Belgium--and 2011 was the second year Theo made it into the U.S. Top 1000. Now it's at Number 666, up over 130 points this year alone with every indication of moving higher.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training, author Chris Orwig provides a comprehensive look at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, the popular photo-asset management, enhancement, and publishing program. The course covers indispensable techniques such as importing, processing, and organizing images in the Library, correcting and adjusting images in the Develop module, and creating slideshows, web galleries, and print picture packages. In addition to exploring all of Lightroom 3's capabilities, this course is rich with creative tips and expert advice on photographic workflow. Exercise files accompany the course.
Now that we've looked at some of the different aspects of the Basic panel, let's take a look at how we can put together these different pieces in an overall workflow. We'll bee working with this file here. It's a photograph of my daughter Annika on Halloween. She is dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. I just like it. I think it's a fun photograph. One of the first things that you do is you start to evaluate the overall temperature. We can either use the use the White Balance tool. If you are going to use that tool, it's a good idea to have the Navigator open. That way, when you select the tool either by clicking on it or by pressing the W key, when you hover over the image you get an update of the Potential White Balance option.
Now with this particular shirt we don't really know if this was pure white unless we were there. I was there, and it wasn't really white. It had a little bit of a reflective nature to it and a little bit of tone in it. So if I select or click on this shirt, one of the things that's going to happen is it is going to be a little bit over the top. That happens quite often, where we just can't nail it. There's nothing in the image that can give us a perfect white balance with this tool. In those situations what I like to do is I like to press Command+Z on a Mac or Ctrl+Z on a PC and undo that and see what the difference was in regards to color Temperature.
We can see that it went from here all the way over to this point here. So a lot of times what I will do is then increase my color Temperature towards that point and also the Tint, if that was modified. In this case, it wasn't very much. So this case just working with color Temperature until I find something that I think is visually interesting. Next step is to begin to analyze the image. Press the J key to turn on the clipping indicators. Now that those are on I am going to go ahead and increase my Exposure a little bit. As I increase the Exposure, I am going to make sure I don't go too far.
I bring my recovery up just a touch there. Add some Fill Light, also a little bit of Brightness and Contrast. What I'm looking to do as I process this image is just find a sweet spot for it. Again, I am going to modify this back and forth. I am also looking to try to create an image that will print well. So in this case it's a little bit brighter than I am perhaps content with, but I know that once it prints, it's going to print just a shade darker than this. So I am thinking about that as I am moving my sliders around. Next I want to add a little bit of Clarity. So what I am going to do is zoom in a touch here, and I am going to zoom into the photograph, in this case 1-1, so I can see some of the detail that I have.
I am going to increase the Clarity amount. A lot of times what we are looking for here is to try and create something that isn't very drastic. Let's zoom out a little bit further and we can see how Clarity affects the image. Because this one is a real high res file, I am going to need a little bit more rather than less in regards to Clarity. I will go ahead and zoom all the way out. Well, now I want to press the Backslash key. Here is my before and then my after. So far, so good. Down to Vibrance and Saturation. One of the things that we've seen is with Vibrance and Saturation sometimes it's helpful to swing it just a little bit one way or another.
It's also helpful to experiment. What does 100 points of Vibrance actually looks like? Well, it adds a lot of different red in the face. Well, how about then if I just remove a little bit of the red and then bring some of the Saturation up and try to find a nice spot here where the image looks good where we have some good colors in the photograph? Again, I don't want this to look too surreal. I want it to be more of a real natural photograph and so I am modifying these controls until visually again I like the way that it looks. Here's my before and then my after. Pretty subtle, but nonetheless kind of significant image processing.
Maybe a little bit more in my Temperature there just bringing that up, and that looks pretty good. Now the whole point of this movie is just to begin to see how all of these controls work together. Then typically what you do use you bounce around a little bit. You make one adjustment in one place, then another in another place, and that affects something else and you back and forth, back and forth, trying to find the sweet spot for a particular photograph. Well, in this case I have two images that were captured at the same time. Here's another photograph. Well, what I need to do in order to apply these settings to this photograph that looks just like it that was captured the same context, well, let's take a look at how we can do that in the next movie.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Bearden boys' basketball team won every tournament it ever entered during the past three seasons.
Except for state.
The Bulldogs fell in the AAA state championship game Saturday, losing 61-55 to Craigmont in their first-ever state title appearance.
Ty Greene led the way with 18 points for Bearden, who had qualified for the past three state tournaments but had never made it past the semifinals.
The Bulldogs led 20-15 after one period and 31-30 at the break, but Craigmont's smothering defense proved too much for Mark Blevins' team in the second half.
"What you saw here tonight was two programs who do things the right way," Blevins said after the game. "The better defensive team won tonight."
Bearden closes the season with only three losses, and one was a setback against Oak Hill Academy, one of the top teams in the country.

The scope of war is ever-changing. New technology, tactics, and ethics are always altering the way soldiers fight and the way armies approach battles. Just ask Electronic Arts--it thinks troops shouldn't be able to shoot while jumping. That tweak is one of the many fixes included in the latest patch for Battlefield 2, which was released today and is now available for download from GameSpot.
The update comes in two flavors, a
The PC first-person shooter is the sequel to Battlefield 1942, but it updates the time period to the modern era. The game was expanded in November 2005, when the Special Forces expansion was released. A Battlefield 2: Modern Combat spin-off was released on the Xbox and PlayStation 2 late last year, and Xbox 360 and PSP versions are currently in the works.
Battlefield 2, developed by Digital Illusions, is rated T for Teen and retails for $49.99. More information is available in GameSpot's review.

Ridgway girls golf hosted an area match Tuesday afternoon at Laurel Mill Golf Course.
Ridgway was led by senior Logan Feronti as she shot a 59. Sam Carobine finished with a 73 and Shania Reitz carded a 74. Sarah Szczotka finished with a 78 as Ridgway finished with a team total of 285.
"Logan Feronti played her best round of the year with a 59 on her last home match as our only senior," Ridgway coach Gary Gerber II said. "She has continued to improve and work hard the entire season.  She will also compete at districts on Monday along with Sam Carobine."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Ramettes lost a close 5-4 decision Tuesday afternoon on the tennis courts against visiting St. Marys.
The Ramettes went down 3-2 in singles competition and couldn't make up the deficit in doubles action.
"Even though we lost I still think we're the better team," said Johnsonburg head varsity girls tennis coach Gregg Dauber. "We didn't make matchups in doubles, we played our best from top to bottom, and I thought those were the rules in District 9 tennis.
Ridgway boys soccer lost 3-1 to Port Allegany Tuesday afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.
The Elkers played well with the Gators during the first 30-plus minutes, keeping the game scoreless while generating some chances of their own. Ridgway striker Peter Pontzer had a pair of chances in the first half including a blazing run through the middle of the field which led to a shot that went just over the top of the goal. Bryce Dias also had a good chance with 9:15 left but the shot was saved.
A babysitter convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in his care was sentenced in Elk County Court Monday to no less than 10 years and no more than 20 years in a state penitentiary.
Corey Allen Heatherdale, 26, of Ridgway, was convicted by a jury in a one-day trial on July 20, 2012, in the Elk County Courthouse.
ST. MARYS – A rise in the occurrence of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease, dementia and autism has sparked the Elkland Search and Rescue [ESR] team to kick off an initiative designed to better locate individuals who have a tendency to wander.
ESR is taking a proactive stance by asking family members of those affected to also be proactive by filling out a form, "Wanderers Information Sheet," before an incident occurs to act as a tool to help locate the person.
FOX TWP. – The Elk County Solid Waste Authority embarked on its annual tour of Veolia Greentree Landfill in Fox Twp. on Tuesday. Landfill manager Don Henrichs led the tour and gave the group a rundown of current operations and recent changes to the facility.
The landfill currently takes in about 1 million tons a year; it takes approximately 2.5 years to fill a cell, or an area in which waste is deposited and is later filled in. Cells range from six to 10 acres and the current cell being filled is approximately nine acres. About nine acres were capped this year.
Dorethea M. Moore, age 87, died Monday, Sept. 24, 2012 at DuBois Regional Medical Center.
She had been a resident at Highland View Health Care in Brockway.
She was born June 25, 1925 in Brandy Camp to Sam and Cora Shaffer Bennett.
She married Foster L. Moore who preceded her in death on June 4, 1996.
She was a member of the Lighthouse Community Church in Brockway.
Dorethea was a homemaker who enjoyed canning vegetables and taking care of her home.
Helen M. Detwiler, 97, formerly of Johnsonburg and Kane, died Monday evening, Sept. 24, 2012 at Sena Kean Manor in Smethport.
Born July 8, 1915 in Johnsonburg, she was the daughter of John and Bessie Detwiler.Â
She attended college at Penn State and in Indiana, Pa., and was employed as a teacher and counselor for many years for the Johnsonburg School District, retiring in 1976.Â
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team raised their dual-match record to 7-0 on the season with a 3-0 victory over the Johnsonburg Ramettes last night at the ECCHS gym.
The Lady Crusaders won the first set by a 25-23 score. They took the second set 25-18 and won the third set by a 25-8 margin.
"We were slow to make adjustments but once we did we played well," said ECCHS coach Diane Gies.

text: Tweet Photo credits: MSC/Nathalie Steins (Flickr CC) Fisheries ministers from around the European Union have agreed to ban the practice of throwing unprofitable, but edible, catches back in the sea. This extremely wasteful custom has been legal in Europe for the past 40, threatening fish stocks and the survival of some species. Delays and exceptions in implementing the ban are viewed by experts as extremely dangerous, perhaps a case of too little too late for some of the EU's fish stocks. Currently, European fishermen can reach their quota for a certain species, but continue fishing for others, as long as they don't bring more than their quota ashore. This policy results in boats throwing vast numbers of dead fish back into the sea – as much as 90% of the total catch for some fisheries. This is maddening at a time when, according to scientists, 80% of Mediterranean fish stocks are overfished. From the Guardian: More than 1m tonnes of healthy fish are annually thrown back dead into the sea by fishermen – due to EU rules, or in order to maximise their profits – and a ban on discarding fish such as mackerel and herring is likely from 2014. However for other very pressurised species such as cod, haddock, plaice and sole, the ban could be phased in from 2015, and not be fully in force until 2018. That, experts say, may be too late to be effective. Environmental groups are disappointed in the outcome of the meetings, claiming the European Parliament missed an opportunity to create a sustainable fishing policy. According to AFP the UK and France expressed some satisfaction in the compromise, while the Netherlands and Sweden claimed it failed to protect the oceans. Portugal, Malta and Slovenia thought the agreement too stringent against fisheries. Read more on the story from icScotland. SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/329,809, which was filed on Oct. 15, 2001 and titled "Sol Computer Architecture."
This invention relates generally to a bus framer and an architecture therefor.
A computer bus (or simply "bus") is a collection of wires over which data is transmitted between devices, such as a processor and a memory. Data is transferred over a bus in a specific format. For example, the data may be transferred in "frames". Generally speaking, a frame is a data structure that organizes data packets into time slots that specify the order in which the data packets are to be transferred. Other information may also be included in a frame, such as the port(s) to which data packets are to be transferred.
A framer is a device that receives data packets from a source and that forms frames from the data packets. The framer typically stores the frames in a buffer memory and transmits data packets from the buffer memory onto a bus at the appropriate time slots specified in the frame.
Referring to
Bus framer 10 contains engines 12, bus access mapper 14, functional modules 16, and circuitry 17. In this embodiment, these elements are implemented in hardware; however, they may be implemented in software or a combination of hardware and software. The elements are interconnected by various buses.
Frame bus 19 interconnects engines 12 and bus access mapper 14. Internal bus 20 interconnects engines 12, bus access mapper 14, circuitry 17, and functional modules 16. Read/write (R/W) bus 21 interconnects functional modules 16 and bus access mapper 14. Other buses may also be used.
Engines 12 include line/framing engine 22, signaling engine 24, alarms engine 26, facility data link (FDL) engine 27, and overhead engine 29. Line/framing engine 22 receives data from ports 11, performs any necessary encoding or decoding of the data, examines bits in the data to determine if the data is synchronized, generates frames of the data, stores the frames, or information related to the frame, in memory, and outputs the frames in the frame bus.
In this embodiment, each frame comprises a data structure 30 (see
Referring to
By way of example,
The data is transmitted from line/framing engine 22 to frame bus 19 according to the ordered relationship dictated by the time slots. Frame bus 19 is a time-division multiplexed (TDM) bus, over which interleaved data from different ports (which may be on different devices) is transmitted.
Line/framing engine 22 transmits the data onto frame bus 19 as soon as there is a data byte associated with an available time slot. The frame bus thus transmits a port indicator, time slot information, and port status information. Using this information, the data can then be processed by the other engines. In this regard, signaling engine 24, alarms engine 26, FDL engine 27, and overhead engine 29 receive the frame from frame bus 19, extract relevant information from the frame, and provide that information to circuitry 17 via internal bus 20.
Signaling engine 24 extracts, from a frame on frame bus 19, signaling information that is being transmitted between two elements of framer 10. In a frame being transmitted to an external device, the slot following the last data block may be used to transmit signaling information.
Alarms engine 26 searches a frame being transmitted on frame bus 19 for alarm codes (data). These alarm codes are embedded in the data structure of the frame and are used to indicate problems in a device or architecture. Alarms engine 26 extracts the alarm codes when they are found.
FDL engine 27 searches for, and extracts, messages being transmitted between two elements and that are embedded in a frame on frame bus 19. For example, transmit and receive status information may constitute a message. The messages are defined by specific codes that are present in the frame.
Overhead engine 29 identifies and extracts so-called "overhead" bits that are present in a frame on frame bus 19. Overhead bits are present in T1 and E1 formatted frames and carry code words and the like between two elements.
Circuitry 17 includes a bus arbiter 60, a host interface module 61, an internal central processing unit (CPU) 62, and an internal database 64. Circuitry 17 implements monitoring and control capabilities within framer 10.
Circuitry 17 connects to the other elements of framer 10 via internal bus 20. As noted above, internal bus 20 interconnects circuitry 17, engines 12, functional modules 16 and bus access mapper 14. Bus arbiter 60 arbitrates access to R/W bus 21 by functional modules 16 and bus access mapper 14. The arbitration scheme is described below using FIG. 4.
Host interface module 61, in this embodiment, is an eight-bit connection to an external device (not shown), such as a computer. Through host interface module 61, commands and data are passed between framer 10 and the external device. The external device may configure, interrogate, control, clear, etc. elements (e.g., engines 12, bus access mapper 14, functional modules 16, and circuitry 17) of framer 10 via host interface module 61. For example, the external device may issue commands to configure elements of framer 10, download data (e.g., status information) from framer 10, and/or upload data (e.g., configuration data) to framer 10.
Host interface module 61 connects to internal CPU 62 via pro-bus 66. Internal CPU 62 may be a microprocessor, microcontroller or the like that resides within framer 10. As was the case with the external device, internal CPU 62 may configure, interrogate, control, clear, etc. elements of framer 10. Internal CPU 62 stores data gathered from the various elements of framer 10 in internal database 64.
Internal database 64 may be a non-volatile storage medium, such as a hard disk. Internal CPU 62 may exchange data from internal database 64 with an external device via host interface module 61. Additionally, data in internal database 64 may be used by internal CPU 62 to reprogram or reconfigure the various elements of framer 10.
Functional modules 16 are interconnected, along with bus access mapper 14, by R/W bus 21. Functional modules 16 can be configured to receive or request information, such as frame time slot information, from other modules. The interface to each functional module is sufficiently generic to permit the functional modules to also be connected to internal bus 20.
In this embodiment, functional modules 16 include, but are not limited to, a scalar high-speed bus 69, slip buffers 70, a system backplane 71, a bit error rate testing (BERT) generator/analyzer 72, and a high-level data link controller (HDLC) 74. Slip buffers 70 store data temporarily to accommodate frequency and phase differences between the system clock (described below) on framer 10 and the external clock domains. Scalar high-speed bus 69 provides high-speed access to external devices (not shown). System backplane 71 has an interface, here eight pulse-code modulated (PCM) buses, to circuit boards also connected to the backplane. Other types of interfaces may also be used. Bert analyzer/generator 72 checks the frame for bit errors and reports this information back to internal CPU 62 (which may perform some reconfiguration of framer elements if sufficiently significant errors are detected). HDLC 74 embeds information in the data frame on R/W bus 21. This embedded data allows devices, such as the external host and internal CPU 62, to exchange data, status, and control information with remote CPUs.
Bus access mapper 14 interfaces frame bus 19 to R/W bus 21. For example, bus access mapper 14 performs any necessary data conversions and/or buffering to account for different sizes of frame bus 19 and R/W bus 21. In this embodiment, all buses in framer 10, including frame bus 19, internal bus 20, R/W bus 21, and pro-bus 66, run off of the same system clock, called "SYSCLK" in this embodiment. Providing a single system clock for all buses increases system stability and simplifies timing analyses and simulation. Access to external clock domains is provided via interface circuitry/boards, including backplane 71, host interface module 61, and line/framing engine 22.
Framer 10 includes an array of high-speed buses that are used to transfer data between its elements. There is one bus for each eight-port cluster of ports. As described above, framer 10 includes frame bus 19, internal bus 20, R/W bus 21, and pro-bus 66. As noted above, all of these buses run off of the same system clock, SYSCLK. Each of these buses may be made-up of one or more individual buses.
In more detail, pro-bus 66 is a local bus that is used to provide access to random access memory (RAM) (not shown) and status registers, or to propagate access to other resources of framer 10. Internal bus 20 connects to, and therefore provides access to, all memory locations of framer 10, registers and RAM, from an external device or internal CPU 62.
Frame bus 19 is comprised of a receive (Rx) frame bus (RxFrameBus) over which data is received, and a transmit (Tx) frame bus (TxFrameBus) over which data is transmitted. RxFramebus and TxFrameBus are used to communicate from/to framer engines 12. For example, line/framing engine 22 uses frame bus 19 to send information to HDLC module 74, alarms engine 26, signaling engine 24, etc.
Frame bus 19 is a frame specific bus, in which information such as a time slot number and a frame number are used to transmit data. This information is sent to bus access mapper 14, where time slots are mapped to logical channels that can be made of bits or several time slots for the same port. The logical channels are processed by functional units 16 connected to R/W bus 21. RxFrameBus carries information such as frame time slot numbers, data, port mode, port status, signaling information, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) frame numbers. TxFrameBus carries time slot numbers, data, port mode, signaling information, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) frame numbers, and a ready signal.
R/W bus 21 is comprised of a write bus (WrBus) to which data is written, and a read bus (RdBus) from which data is read. In more detail, WrBus is used to write information to slip buffers 70. In this embodiment, WrBus carries ten bits (Bit0:9) of data. Bit 0 is the first bit to arrive at the bus interface. Bit 7 is the last bit to arrive. Bit 8 is used as a T1 F-bit and Bit 9 is used as a multiframe bit. A multiframe bit identifies multiple frames destined for a single port. That is, if more than one frame of data structure 30 is destined for the same port, the multiframe bit identifies those frames.
RdBus is used to read data from slip buffers 70 and signaling information to and from the functional modules. In this embodiment, RdBus carries ten data bits and eight signaling bits. For the signaling bits, Bits 0:3 are "stuff" bits and Bits 4:7 are data bits. A stuff bit is a filler bit that does not contain substantive data.
When a functional module has to write to R/W bus 21, it requests WrBus, and writes data to the WrBus, along with address information indicative of the functional module to which the data is destined. Any functional module that is able to drive WrBus can write to any other module that is acting as a slave of WrBus.
Access to RdBus and Wrbus is controlled by bus arbiter 60, such that each bus transfer can be performed in two clock cycles. A ready signal is used to pace the data when wait states are required on the bus. Bus transactions on R/W bus 21 occur in the following sequence:
Once a module requesting access has been granted the bus:
Cycle 1: Address, command (Tini) (the transfer initiate signal—see below) and data are set. The initiator module de-asserts its request (REQ) line if the module does not require the bus after the current bus cycle.
Cycle 2: Bus arbiter 60 grants the bus to the next device that requires the bus. The grant is given to the same module if that module keeps requesting bus access.
Cycle N: The module that responds to the cycle asserts Trdy (the ready signal—see below) when its transaction is completed. The next transaction can start immediately after Trdy was asserted. The module that generated Tini removes that signal when detecting Trdy, unless the module has the next cycle granted and the module requires access to the bus.
The target module that detects the current bus cycle:
Cycle 1: The target module detects when Tini is active and, if the target module detects that a block identifier (ID) on the bus matches its own block ID, then the target module responds in the current cycle.
Cycle N: The target module asserts Trdy to complete the transfer. If N is equal to two, this means that there are no wait states inserted on the bus.
If a 33 MHz (Megahertz) clock frequency is used on R/W bus 21, and the bus is eight bits wide, then a maximum transfer rate of R/W bus 21 is 16 MB/s (megaBytes-per-second) per bus.
In cases where two functional modules (or other devices) are trying to access R/W bus 21 at the same time, arbiter 60 regulates their access. Referring to
Arbiter 60 grants (GNT) are given in a fixed sequence with all functional modules having the same priority. Arbiter 60 assigns the modules to the bus sequentially. Once a grant is assigned to a module, the grant is maintained in the same module until that module stops requesting access to the bus or the module is forced to abort its current operation.
When a module requests access to R/W bus 21, the module asserts a request (REQ) line.
The transfer initiate signal (Tini) is generated by a functional module if the module's GNT line is active, the transfer ready signal (Trdy) is active, and the module's REQ line is active. Otherwise, Tini is kept at zero (meaning no transfer initiation). Tini is generated after detecting Trdy active and its GNT line active. In programming notation,
The REQ line is de-asserted in the same bus cycle in which a Tini pulse is generated if there are no further requests for the bus from the same module. Otherwise, the REQ signal is kept active. An "internal" Trdy signal is generated by arbiter 60 if there is no transfer in progress (Tprog=0) and a REQ has been received that caused one GNT line to become active. In this case, the internal Trdy signal is generated in the same bus cycle in which the GNT is generated.
The "transfer in progress" signal, Tprog, is asserted when Tini is asserted and cleared when Trdy is asserted (any Trdy, even an internal Trdy) or an abort signal, Tabort, is detected. In programming notation,
R/W bus 21 is in IDLE mode when there are no Tini or Trdy signals on the bus and all GNT lines are at zero. The first Trdy signal after an IDLE is generated by arbiter 60 to assign R/W bus 21 to a requesting module. The Trdy signal thus enables back-to-back bus transfers by different modules 16 in adjacent bus cycles (i.e., without skipping a cycle).
Arbiter 60 generates the abort signal, Tabort, as follows. Fifteen clock cycles after Tini is asserted, if no other module asserts Trdy, then it is assumed that no module will respond to the access or that a transfer did not start. In this case, there a time-out situation, since this amount of cycles should permit even a slow module to respond. When a module is requesting R/W bus 21, access is granted and, if the module does not start the cycle in eight clock cycles after Trdy is asserted, there is a time-out. (It is assumed that the module is not able to start a cycle and the grant is therefore removed from the module.) If the Tabort signal is generated, then the module that generated the Tabort signal uses Tabort as a Trdy signal and completes the current cycle. If an initiator module keeps requesting the bus, then the initiator module maintains control of the bus.
By way of example, in
At time 87, a second functional module issues a request (REQ2) for R/W bus 21. Since GNT1 is already asserted, in the next bus cycle 79, arbiter 60 does not grant the second functional module access to R/W bus 21. Rather, arbiter 60 waits until the GNT1 goes low 88 (cycle 89) before granting (GNT2) 90 the second functional module access to R/W bus 21. Since different functional modules are requesting access (REQ1 and REQ2), the Tini signal 85 remains high. As was the case above, in the next bus cycle, arbiter 60 maintains a transfer (Tprog) 91 signal internally to indicate that there is a current transfer on R/W bus 21.
All or part of framer 10 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of the two. All or part of framer 10 may be implemented in computer programs executing on programmable machines that each includes a processor and a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements).
Each such program may be implemented in a high level procedural or object-oriented programming language to communicate with a computer system. However, the programs can be implemented in assembly or machine language. The language may be a compiled or an interpreted language.
Each computer program may be stored on an article of manufacture, e.g., a storage medium, such as a CD-ROM, hard disk, or magnetic diskette, that is readable by a general or special purpose programmable computer for configuring and operating the computer when the storage medium or device is read by the computer to implement all or part of framer 10.
The states of finite state machines (FSMs) used by the elements of framer 10 may be stored in RAM, rather than flip-flops or registers. This reduces the hardware needed for framer 10 and increases its overall efficiency.
Framer 10 is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, framer 10 is not limited to the specific hardware or software shown in the figures. Framer 10 is not limited to use with the data structure of
Other embodiments not described herein are also within the scope of the following claims.

From Our House to Yours
I was going to add a little "MM" and "PW" to the image above, but there were just a few things wrong with that approach:
1. Seafoam Green is, like, so bad for me.
2. Marlboro Man doesn't have black hair.
3. Marlboro Man doesn't have a black mustache.
4. Marlboro Man has both salt and pepper hair and a salt and pepper goatee, not a mustache.
5. Marlboro Man doesn't drink wine.
6. Even if Marlboro Man drank wine, I can say with relative certainty that he and I would not ring in the holidays by intertwining our arms and toasting each other next to the Christmas tree wearing formal attire.
We're much more about intertwining our legs on the sofa and watching UFC together. It's how we roll.
Merry Christmas! We drove in sleet, then ice, then a blizzard—as in "The Day After Tomorrow" kind of blizzard—last night before finally getting back to our warm, cozy home on the ranch. If Marlboro Man hadn't grown up here, we'd most likely be in Kansas by now. Northern Kansas.
Nebraska, maybe.
But we made it…home sweet home. And when we walked into the house and determined we still had power, we sang praises. At that moment—Christmas Eve, 2009 at 9:29 pm—electricity was all we ever wanted in life. We realized it didn't matter what we needed to wrap, assemble, or organize before going to bed—at least we still had power.
Then we found out the heater had blown out.
Then we found out there was no running water.
But that's okay. I'm a Pioneer Woman, after all! I've gone without running water before—for months at a time, actually—and I know how to haul water and boil it on the stove and use it to wash dishes. I know how to brush my teeth and wash my face and hands using the same amount of water it takes for a small cup of coffee—and I've actually had to choose between the two before. Do I brush my teeth and wash my face and hands and feel clean and fresh and fragrant? Or do I scrap it all in favor of a big dose of legalized stimulants?
The answer depends on what time of day it is, where I am in life, and whether the moon is in the seventh house.
And anyway, I haven't yet figured out just where I think I'll be getting this water to haul. The Lodge is without water too…and it's not like I can drive anywhere anyway. Oh, and Pioneer People don't have huge supplies of bottled water in their pantry. It's just not authentic country living. (It's at this point that I will ignore the fact that I am typing on a computer that's connected to the internet and listening to satellite radio.)
Wait. I have it. SNOW! That's it! I'll boil a bunch of snow—we have all we could ever need just outside our door. It's coating the entire countryside.
Snow…that's it. Snow will be my water supply. I'll melt it like crazy, all the live long day. I'll be able to make our Christmas breakfast of biscuits and gravy, and I'll be able to clean up afterward. I'll be able to have both coffee AND clean, freshly brushed teeth. I'll have more water than I'll know what to do with!
I might even ask Marlboro Man to give me a sponge bath for Christmas.
But don't worry…I won't blog about that.
Have a wonderful, warm, cozy, safe, and joy-filled day, everyone!
And have a glass of tap water on me.

I was afraid you'd be caught in the blizzard, but thank goodness you made it home okay! I have a solution to your bathing issues: a 2-gallon pump garden sprayer. My electric goes out all the time here, and that means no water, except for what I've caught in used soda bottles just for such an occasion. I heat the water in a pot on the stove, pour it in the sprayer, and take my shower. I've been iced/snowed in several times with no electric/running water, and I've just come to expect it. I don't mind catching rain water or melting snow for washing dishes or doing laundry in buckets or the bath tub (what fun!), but I gotta have my shower!
Hope you and the family have a very Happy New Year!

Sad times! I hope things get fixed quickly.

The day before Christmas Eve, December 23rd, it was 80F here in Fort Worth and on Christmas Eve it was snowing and blowing and blizzarding, too. It was very impressive and the first time I've ever had a white Christmas. Today there is still snow left and more is predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm so glad that global warming thing is getting better.
Stay safe and most of my family got a copy of your cookbook for Christmas. It was a good thing.

Hi Ree,
Can't help thinking about you guys and the troubles you're having. I say Dog Pile it, for sleeping. The kids would love it and you'd all keep warm. Hoping all your chores, like feeding the wild horses and breaking holes into the ponds for drinking water are going OK. I know you have a great working Crew, not just the punks and may God keep you all safe during these awful storms you're having. Will certainly be a Year to remember. Always look forward to hearing about the Drummond Family adventures, so keep em comin'. Love to you all.
Linda from BC, Canada

I hear you, Ree! While we aren't at home right now, we are in Chicago. Without underwear. We had planned on a Christmas evening gift opening with my parents when the airline decided they couldn't fly into western SD. So we've been in Chicago (did I mention without underwear?) ever since. And we'll be in Chicago (without underwear) until Monday morning. I think I'll be walking to Target to buy some underwear now. Hope that you had a fabulous holiday and that the water situation has worked out. Is the heat back on?
Stephanie On Sunday, December 27 at 7:06 am
Merry Christmas! I got the best gift from my mother, YOUR COOKBOOK!!! I can't wait till I can start making many of your YUMMY recipes!
Kimberly Pennell On Sunday, December 27 at 7:58 am
Do you have a wood burning fireplace? What did you do about heat, since it was broken? Because the pioneer in me knew the snow could be melted…but unless there is alternative heat – which – hello! You must have terrible winters there and no doubt have alternative heat.
I hope you had a wonderful, meaningful Christmas. Thanks for sharing yourself with us – it's been fun to get to know you. :>P
Jennifer June On Sunday, December 27 at 9:06 am
And you make it all sound so romantic.
I remember going to the well for water as a child and stepping on a banana slug in my bare feet. It was the last time I went to the well after dark, and certainly the last time I went without my shoes on.
Bj In Dallas On Sunday, December 27 at 10:03 am
Water is so overrated..when you have it. Hope your snowmelting/sponge bathing/ goes well.
Made the brie mushrooms for a party last night. I just didn't make enough, they never made it out of the kitchen to the table. Actually made them two nights in a row for two different gatherings. They were a hit at both!!
Jil On Sunday, December 27 at 10:10 am
Merry Christmas to you all as well. I hope by now your pump has defrosted. Montana is notorious for it's necessity calamities too. You make me smile everyday, thank you for that and your gift. May we all have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Becky B On Sunday, December 27 at 10:14 am
I am so happy I received your cookbook for Christmas!!
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Robin On Sunday, December 27 at 11:02 am
A word of caution about melting your snow into water.
I was fortunate enough to grow up out in the country and we lost our electricity ever winter. Sometimes several times before winter was done.
When you melt the snow I think you will be surprised how much dirt is in it…you will probably want something to filter the melted snow/water through. Just a thought.
I hope you stay warm, your electricity stays on and you find some good drinking water.
Alina On Sunday, December 27 at 11:49 am
I saw your blog in the Time top 25 best blogs 2009! Congratulations! Love your blog!
Bill of Wasilla On Sunday, December 27 at 12:15 pm
Melting snow is a mighty tedious way to get water. If you can find some good ice out there, melt that instead. You will get more water from much volume.
Ronda On Sunday, December 27 at 12:39 pm
Just remember.. stay away from the yellow snow!
We made snow ice cream on Christmas Eve. I haven't had it since I was a kid and man was it good!
Hazel On Sunday, December 27 at 9:06 pm
Merry Christmas to you and your entire family. We had a blizzard also, but we had 25 inches of snow. Boy is that fun to dig out of.
Tara B On Monday, December 28 at 10:11 am
did anyone else have the song " snow" from white christmas in their heads while reading the snow boiling bit? i want to wash my hands, my hai,r my face with snow!
Mary On Monday, December 28 at 11:09 am
How I wish you would have wound up in Northern Kansas! We'd have had Bacon wrapped Jalapeno thingies, and Fancy Macaroni!
Jamie Collins On Monday, December 28 at 12:18 pm
I LOVE it!!! I love to hear your funny stories about life's difficult times. I also go through many times of not having running water do to no electricity when the generator breaks down. This past summer I had to haul water in coolers to flush and wash and water the garden and chickens. I am also a Pioneer Woman so I love to hear your true Pioneer Woman stories!!! It's funny how so many people take running water for granted and we treasure it soooo dearly!
becky up the hill On Tuesday, December 29 at 4:41 pm
Your Christmas breakfast was my childhood Thanksgiving morning breakfast for about 30 years..okay..I may have been a child too long…but it was. We always had fried pheasant and biscuits and gravy. After I married, my Dad made sure I had a frozen pheasant in the freezer for many years. YUM!~my city boy husband tolerated it…he down right put his foot down to fried squirrel!

If hubby were here we'd be watching UFC, too, Ree. So glad we're not the only ones. I can come out of the UFC closet now.
Karen Sugarpants On Friday, January 1 at 7:59 pm
WHAT? You watch UFC? Dude. Oh dude. I saw it for the 1st time the other day and it made my stomach hurt.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and stuff. xoxo

Jesse Clark, owner of SureShot Portraits LLC was taken to court this week when Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley filed a civil lawsuit stating that he had taken money from over 150 newlywed couples and never provided them with video footage of their wedding. He has been ordered to pay $500,000 in damages. Supposedly, Clark would take the money from the couple and then hold the footage hostage if they didn't remove internet complaints, and would often never deliver anything and never give a refund. It's important that as a couple, you avoid these types of business owners if you can help it, which in most cases you can. SureShot Portraits has an F rating from the Better Business Bureau and by doing a little online research you can easily tell that they are a vendor you'd want to avoid hiring. Make sure that before you hire any vendors for you wedding, unless you know them personally or have had a friend or family member recommend them that you take the time to do a little research before you trust them to render any services pertaining to your wedding.
There are a lot of people who try to capitalize on the wedding industry who aren't professional and have little to no wedding experience. The stress of planning a wedding can often cause people to hire vendors on a whim without conducting thorough research. That being said, it's imperative that when you begin to plan your wedding you get recommendations from your friends and family first when it comes to the videographer, photographer, caterer, custom wedding dress designer, and more. If your friends and family have no sound recommendations then it's time to start using the internet as a resource. Make sure that every vendor you consider hiring has a good online reputation and doesn't have any negative reviews online. Additionally, don't be afraid to get quotes from multiple vendors and compare prices in order to decrease the amount of money that you spend. A lot of people tend to have the misconception that the most expensive vendors are the best vendors and this simply isn't the case. In order to pick the best vendor, it's important to get the word of mouth recommendations of your friends and family first, and then take to the internet if you need to do so.
If you are looking for a custom wedding dress designer, Liz Fields has a great reputation and the highest quality custom wedding dresses and custom bridesmaid dresses available. In order to ensure that you chose the perfect wedding dress, make sure you visit www.lizfields.com and browse our selection of wedding and bridesmaid dresses.

Perry Sends Obama Letter Slamming Energy Policies
Updated: Monday, May 19 2014, 10:50 AM CDT
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has written a letter to President Barack Obama slamming his energy policies, EPA regulations and a lack of movement on whether to build a cross-border pipeline to carry crude oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries.
The letter is dated Friday. It largely reiterates much of Perry's long-standing opposition to the Obama administration's energy policies.
But it comes as a bipartisan energy bill stalled in Congress when GOP Senators demanded a vote on the Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas pipeline and on the EPA's move to put greenhouse gas regulations on existing coal-fired power plants.
Perry's letter touts Texas' economy and what he called the state's success at having both a robust energy industry and sound environmental regulations.
Perry is considered a possible presidential contender in 2016.

Below is the poem entitled The Real Aftermath which was written by poet
Bursey. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Brashard Bursey
All of the aftermaths occur after the wake of a bunch of terrible events: Hurricane
Katrina, the September 11th attacks in New York City, War in Iraq, and others. these types
of tragic events and a bunch of aftermaths have been around since the day the world was
created by God. There's no telling what will happen next if these tragedies keep coming
unexpectedly and stuff. It seems to all of the Americans today that after these tragedies
like the deaths of their loved ones, the deaths of most U.S. soldiers, Hurricanes Ike and
Rita destroying Houston, Texas, these people are trying to deal with the loss of their
homes and other people have been mourning the loss of the ones who've lost their lives to
these tragic events or by the hands of evil people. The aftermath of those events have
been haunting the lives of all U.S. citizens since day one. What makes most people sad is
that they have to deal with the fact that their loved ones are gone and other people are
still trying to deal with the fact that America almost lost its innocence, even after
9-11. These events have been talked about on the news at 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 9:00
p.m. This is so wrong, especially for us Americans. Tragedies and the aftermath of all
heartbreaking tragedies are starting to make us even more sad and depressed. Everybody
doesn't like it. And if all types of tragedies continue to rise and there's going to be
more aftermaths after those tragedies or whatever, we'll be in for a rude awakening.

Hi Anne, It's been cold here too but I haven't been able to pull some hoops for a while. So many other things to keep me away during the day and evening finds me too tired to bother. I'm looking forward to the spring.ReplyDelete
You will soon be busy with lambing and it's good that you can pull lots of hoops now while you can.
Thanks for a chance to win your give away. Hope that you get some warm weather. Enough of this cold winter.
Hi Anne, we are prepping for snow too. I went to Deanne's at lunch and bought a big piece of burlap so I can hook all through the storm.ReplyDelete
Kim :)
The big storm has arrived here in Ontario and I have just completed round one of shovelling. I'm very excited about your give away, you make such lovely things!ReplyDelete

There are three things that make the Senator Theatre a legend. Firstly, it does not admit children under the age of five and offers a special sound-proof day-care centre. Secondly, it has hosted countless world premieres (there is an adjacent banquet hall next door to the projection room). Thirdly, it has 'played the role' of a movie theatre in many films, including Twelve Monkeys and Avalon. The Art Deco edifice, built in 1939, was designed by the architect John J. Zink who specialised in movie theatres. In 2010 the picture house was closed down for a short time; a few months later, a new owner was found by the Baltimore City Council and the movie theatre was duly re-opened.

Student-Produced News Stories Available on RSU Web Site
The latest editions of "Happenings on the Hill," news about Rogers State University, produced by RSU students, are now available for viewing on the RSU web site.
Each year, students in Advanced Broadcast Practicum roam the RSU campus searching for stories and produce them using Final Cut Pro editing software. Communications instructor Lee Williams says the top performing students complete the course ready to shoot and edit video in the real world.
"Students master skills much like those used by professionals in news, public relations and advertising," Williams said. "We have had students go directly from this class to editing jobs a local television station."
Each student in the class produced two news stories, a promotional video or commercial, Williams said.
"Students choose a subject, then immediately begin shooting. The advanced course starts like a race, where the gates open and students are off. The deadline pressure is tough to simulate the real world."
The RSU Department of Communications offers several radio and television production courses that prepare students for jobs in the industry, Williams said. Advanced Broadcast Practicum is the second level course after Video Production. Next spring, a senior-level documentary course will be offered for the first time for advanced students.
RSU's video courses are taught by Lee Williams and Cathy Coomer, both of whom have many years of professional experience.
The new "Happenings on the Hill" programs may be viewed at: www.rsu.edu/happenings/.

Gary McAllister has revealed how it took just a couple of weeks of training with Steven Gerrard to realise he had the ability to become one of the finest footballers to have ever graced the game.
The Scot acted as a mentor to a young Gerrard when he spent two seasons at Anfield from 2000-02, during which time the duo were hugely influential in helping the Reds clinch an unprecedented cup treble.
It was McAllister who presented the No.8 with a commemorative Liverbird to mark his 600th appearance for the club prior to Sunday's clash with Newcastle - and he's not surprised by the way the kid from Huyton has blossomed over the years.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was very clear to me, even in the first couple of weeks of arriving here, you could see he was a very special young player. Somebody that was growing into the position.
"He's not let anybody down and proved to be very influential for both club and country. He's had some very special moments for his beloved Liverpool.
"It really is a fantastic achievement [to reach 600 games]. Over the last 10/12 years he's proved to be such a wonderful servant and a great player as well.
"He's a proud captain and a very proud Liverpool player.
"It's very nice to be asked by the club to come up and present this.
"He's a good friend and I think he thoroughly deserves it. Let's hope he can go and get another couple of hundred of games!"
Gerrard's unique qualities and talents have been there for all to see and enjoy over the last 14 years.
However, it is his indomitable will to succeed that has impressed McAllister most, and he believes the 32-year-old can rightly be considered for the title of Liverpool's greatest ever player.
"He's very inspirational and never says die," he said. "The attitude is the big thing for me. When you see Steven Gerrard play, you know you're going to get 100 per cent.
"Even if he's having a bad game or a tough night, you're always guaranteed 100 per cent.
"There have been some wonderful players at this football club, but when he gets to the end of his career - and I still think he's got a few seasons left in his legs - he'll be right up there with the very best, if not the best."

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., indicated he likely will seek the chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee in the next Congress.
While such a move would depend on his re-election bid, which is likely, and the Republicans maintaining control of the House, Goodlatte said Wednesday during a taped appearance on C-SPAN's "The Communicators" program that "it would be a great honor to serve as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee."
The panel's current chairman, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is barred by House GOP rules from seeking another term as the top Republican on Judiciary. Goodlatte is a senior member of the committee and currently chairs its Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet Subcommittee.
Still, at least two GOP members have more seniority: Reps. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who served as committee chairman from 2001-2007, and Howard Coble, R-N.C.
Goodlatte said the decision over who will take over the spot would be up to the House Republican Steering Committee. For now, he said he's focused on his re-election bid and helping his party maintain control of the House. "At the appropriate time, we would be communicating our interest" in the chairmanship, he added.
Goodlatte has been a key player on many tech-related issues over the years including helping to draft controversial anti-piracy legislation known as the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, which was aimed at curbing piracy and counterfeiting on foreign websites. The bill was sidelined earlier this year after facing a huge backlash from tech companies and Internet activists, who worried the measure would hamper free speech and innovation on the Internet. Goodlatte indicated that the issue remains a priority for the panel but action would have to take a different form.
Both SOPA and its Senate counterpart the Protect IP Act "are not coming back again this year or any year for that matter," Goodlatte said. "The issue, however, is still very much a problem."
He said he would encourage both sides in the debate to try to find areas of agreement and then forward proposals that would require legislative action to lawmakers. "If there are legislative solutions in the future, I would expect they would come out of that type of discussion and we would move forward hopefully with a lot more consensus than you had earlier this year," he added.
One area where he said there could be legislative action is related to performance fees. The music industry has been calling on Congress to require terrestrial radio stations to pay musicians for playing their music on the air. Music industry officials and online radio stations like Pandora argue that traditional radio stations are the only platform not required to pay such fees. Broadcasters argue that musicians benefit from the exposure they get from radio airplay.
The Judiciary Committee took on the issue a few years ago, but the legislation was derailed after facing stiff resistance from broadcasters.
Goodlatte, however, said it's an issue the panel should revisit. "There is a fairness issue that needs to be examined and addressed here," he said.
