Greetings and salutations to the Straight bourbon.com community,
Many of you may already now me as I have been a member for several years. I have gained a new position and felt that it was best to reintroduce myself so that this community would know and understand my background and new point of view.
My Name is Truman Cox and I am the new Master Distiller/Director of Operations of A Smith Bowman Distillery in Fredericksburg, VA. I am coming into the microdistilling business from a fairly unique position. While most micro-distillers are startups, A Smith Bowman has been a large format distillery in the past and business has diminished to the point that I am refocusing the business model as a regional/craft micro-distiller.
I personally have been in the alcohol industry for many years. I have a degree in Chemistry from the University of Central Florida. I started in the alcohol industry as the Quality Chemist for the beverage alcohol division at Grain Processing Company in Muscatine Iowa. While there, I earned still operator certification and became intimately involved with all aspects of wet milling and ethanol production, including fuel, industrial, beverage and medical grades. I also worked with many of the top vodka producers in the world. I set up a world class sensory laboratory for GPC and became something of an expert in organoleptics for beverage alcohol. I left GPC to work as the lead chemist at Buffalo Trace Distillery. I apprenticed in the still house under Harlen Wheatley, one of the most award winning distillers in the world. I was then selected to become the Master Distiller to take over for Joe Dangler, who is retiring form A Smith Bowman.
We have 7 products currently. Virginia Gentleman, Bowman Brothers small batch and John J Bowman single barrel whiskies are distilled, barreled, aged, and bottled at A Smith Bowman. I will be sourcing some barreled goods from our larger brethren for our Abraham Bowman Limited edition whiskey until some of our experiments at ASB come of age. Our vodka, gin, and rum are sourced but they are picked by me personally and I designed the formula for our gin.
We are putting capital into our tourism area and will have a general opening on November 1st. I plan on starting fermentation at the A Smith Bowman distillery which hasnt been done since 1984. We still have the original yeast from A Smith Bowman and will be recreating his recipe. I also plan on making our own rum when our fermentation vessels are ready; using our own used cooperage for aging.
I make no secret that we purchase designate from Buffalo Trace distillery and have purchased designate since fermentation was ceased in 1984. We distill the designate, barrel and age the distillate at our own facility. I plan on expanding our designate purchases to include some other distilleries to marry the distillates before going through my own still to come up with some unique whiskey.
I know and understand the informaiton and honesty that is requested by many members fo SB and will endeavor to answer as much as I can without revealing trade/company proprietary information. some things just can't be answered.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Heavyweight Josh Barnett has tested positive for steroids less than two weeks before he was scheduled to fight Russian star Fedor Emelianenko in Anaheim.
The California State Athletic Commission denied Barnett a license to fight on the mixed marital arts card promoted by Affliction after he tested positive for an anabolic steroid.
The commission said Barnett's sample was sent to the World Anti-Doping Agency test facility at UCLA on June 25. The commission released the findings on Wednesday.
Barnett also failed a post-fight drug test in 2002, after he defeated Randy Couture to win the UFC heavyweight title.

This technology is a great marketing tool to explain product's characteristics in a interactive and out of standard way.
If talking academic and technical, Augmented Reality can be explained as the generation of a composite view for the user that is the combination, in real time, of a virtual scene viewed by the user, via a camera for example, and a virtual scene generated by the computer, therefore augmenting the scene with additional information.
Straightforwardly, three main stages are recognized in the Augmented Reality process of treatment of real time video flux::
1. Recognition of an image, an object, a face or a body,
2. Space location in real time of this image, object, face or body,
3. Superposition of a media (video, 3D, 2D, text, etc.) on this image, objects, face or body.
This journey between reality and videogames may be used in educations, exhibitions and hospitals.

MEXICAN CREEK (Baylor County). Mexican Creek rises a mile southwest of Bomarton in southern Baylor County (at 33°30' N, 99°27' W) and runs southeast for ten miles to its mouth on Millers Creek, a half mile east of Millers Creek Reservoir (at 33°26' N, 99°22' W). Mexican Creek was probably named for the Mexicans who lived on Millers Creek and looked after the Millett brothers' horse ranch. The stream traverses flat to gently sloping terrain surfaced by shallow to moderately deep clay and silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.

Men actually like to do housework - that's according to a study by Cambridge University that says arguments decline and happiness increases when men take up an active role in things around the house.
The researchers said they found the equality gap between men, women and domestic chores was closing.
"The study suggests that this may be because more men support gender equality, so they feel uncomfortable if the woman does most of the housework, and because women are becoming more assertive and making their dissatisfaction with lazy partners plain," reads the university's statement on the study. "At the same time, however, it is widely acknowledge that the gap has not closed completely. Many women still struggle to strike a work-life balance, especially when it comes to having children. Some decide not to have children for the sake of their careers, while others "rein in" their careers to start a family."
The study noted that most husbands and boyfriends felt guilty when they didn't do their share of washing, shopping, cooking and cleaning.
"This suggests that men may be uncomfortably conscious of work getting in the way of their doing a fair share of the chores at home, whereas women have been doing a double shift," reads the study.
The study was based its claim on results from the European Social Study, a Brussels-financed survey that covers 30,000 people in 34 countries.

Kitsap Rodeo Loses Out on Top Honor
The annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Award Banquet had barely gotten under way when Don Frazier, assistant director of the Kitsap Stampede, leaned over and said, "I just think it's amazing that little ol' Bremerton is in the center of the rodeo universe."
The Kitsap Stampede, for the fourth straight year, was among the finalists for the PRCA Medium Rodeo of the Year.
The Kitsap rodeo wouldn't win it — Deadwood, S.D. won the category for the fourth straight year — but the contingent representing the Stampede won't be coming home empty-handed this year.
On a night when the world of rodeo celebrated the best of the best, the Stampede — and popular rodeo contractor John Growney from Red Bluff, Calif. , a Stampede fixture and friend — were the surprise recipients of the Remuda Awards at the South Point Hotel & Casino on Wednesday night. The bronze statues are given by the PRCA roughstock executive members to a contractor and a rodeo committee for providing the best stock.
The San Antonio and Houston rodeos are the only other rodeos to win the award.
"San Antonio's a million dollar rodeo (with 18 stock contractors)," said Randy Corley, the Silverdale announcer and voice of the Stampede. "That'll tell you how prestigious that award is."
Corley, a 10-time PRCA Announcer of the Year, was among the finalists again for that award but Boyd Tallman won it.
Corley didn't care.
"I didn't expect to win," he said. "I'm happy for Bob and I'm really happy for our rodeo. I knew some day having that stock was going to pay off. Besides rodeo of the year, that's the greatest award you'll ever get because that means so much to the cowboys that that committee put that kind of stock together. I'm so glad they recognized it."
The Stampede hired five award-winning stock contractors this past August: Growney Bros., Powder River, Four Star Rodeo, Korkow Rodeo and Russell Rodeo.
"The really cool part about it is we won the same year John Growney won," said Frank Abbott, who accepted the award along with rodeo director Joe Druin.
Abbott, who oversees the rodeo for Kitsap County, said Growney and Corley "were the ones who encouraged us to do what we're doing with our stock," Abbott said. "And it shows. You can see the excitement it's created in the arena."
The Stampede's rodeo secretary (Haylee Schneeberger), bullfighter (Australian Darrell Diefenbach) and clown (Keith Isley) all won top honors in their categories.
With the Remuda Award going to the Stampede, some started to feel that maybe this was going to be their year to win rodeo of the year, too.
"I hate to say this, but just to be here amongst these folks, we are winners," Abbott said. "I have the best committee rodeo could have; the three entities that make it all happen (Kitsap County, Wranglers, Cowpokes), we're truly blessed to have those people and to have the contract personnel surround all those people makes my job easy."
It's possible this will be the last time the Stampede qualifies in the medium category. If the Stampede accepts an offer to be a tour rodeo, it'll have to pay out at least $10,000 per event, which would bump the rodeo to the large category. "That's why we're down here," Abbott said. "We're doing our research and seeing and what's best for our town and our fans."
"I was honored because he's always trying to better rodeo by helping the cowboys. I encourage committees to hire more stock contractors," he said. "That's what this award is for. It's not to be selfish and to make things better for everybody."
Growney told Abbott that the Stampede would never win the rodeo of the year because the participants in timed events have more votes than the roughstock (bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding) events.
"This is the roughstock guys telling us we're doing it right," he said.

We'd be asleep at the wheel if we hadn't noticed the Twitter attention that Todd Ogasawara has been getting for his article "No Projector? Use QR Code & SlideShare to Share a Presentation on Smartphones." In a nutshell, Todd describes how he solved the problem of having to give a presentation in a room that doesn't have a projector. He uploaded his presentation to SlideShare, then created a QR code that points to the presentation. He then printed an image of the QR code and will make that available to the audience. Those attendees who have smartphones can point to the QR code and go right to the presentation on SlideShare. For step by step instructions, see Todd's article on Social Times.
This is such a smart idea, we want to make sure all of you hear about it. Thanks Todd, and good luck with the presentation. We'd love to see photos of how it all comes together. And thank you, Twitter followers, for retweeting @ToddOgasawara's idea. Your sharing of his @SocialTimes article on Twitter is what brought it to our attention.
If you'd like to learn more about how QR codes work, take a look at this helpful presentation by Aysegul Kapucu and Rebecca Murphey from University of Central Florida Libraries, "QR Codes in an Academic Setting."

McCrory Doesn't Exclude NC Dems In NC GOP Team
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Gov.-elect Pat McCrory said Saturday that he's on a quest to find the best talent for his administration, and it's too soon to say Democrats won't be part of his team.
McCrory told The Associated Press that he's working hard to get his administration in place ahead of taking office in January and trying to find the best talent available to make government function. He said he's not shutting down the possibility that the first GOP governor in 20 years could have Democrats in his cabinet.
"We're not closing any option that's available to us," he said in an interview. "There's a sense of urgency in making these decisions, and also we're going through a strategy and a process to make sure we do it right. We're balancing the two."
McCrory was non-committal when asked whether he planned to fill all of the hundreds of state jobs at his discretion. The Republican-controlled Legislature passed a law last summer that more than doubled the number of state government positions exempt from normal government personnel rules. Critics contend they are patronage positions the next governor can use to reward political allies.
"The transition team is putting together viable candidates of talent for my top level jobs. We have not gotten down to that level at this point in time," he said.
McCrory said he will announce within days when he plans to take the oath of office and take over from outgoing Gov. Beverly Perdue, a Democrat who opted not to seek re-election after narrowly defeating McCrory in 2008. Inauguration tradition would point to a Jan. 12 public swearing-in, but it could be earlier.
Perdue has been "very gracious" helping with the transition, McCrory said, and he's looking forward to his first visit to the Executive Mansion, where he and his wife Ann plan to live.
Besides setting up his administration, McCrory said other details large and small have kept him on the run as he's been since starting his campaign 18 months ago.
He had just returned from the Republican Governors Association conference in Las Vegas, where he discussed setting up online health insurance marketplaces with his future peers. McCrory said he walked out of a Cirque du Soleil show after about 30 minutes because he was close to falling asleep.
"I was too tired," the former Charlotte mayor said. "It was really good, but you've got to realize we have not stopped since election night. We moved very quickly from being a candidate to governing. We haven't stopped."

"Thanks for the sense memories — 2009's roster of memorable dishes." Her words follow:
"It's Thanksgiving, time to reflect on the things for which we are grateful: family and friends, good fortune, and – of course – good food. Here are some of the dishes I was most thankful for in 2009. (All things must pass, even the delicious: Call before you head out if your heart is set on a certain selection.)
Steak frites at Beacon Hill Bistro I love this bistro's bistro for its duality: Both innovative and traditional fare excel here, and I can't decide which side of chef Jason Bond's cooking I prefer. His steak frites was just about perfect, from the first whiff as the plate approached to the last slender, golden McDonaldian fry. (For those who must have a chewy cut, abstain. This was a tender strip steak, topped with herb butter.) I could just as easily choose a different dish: a vegetable herb broth with raviolini that was served in the spring. It sounds spare, but the broth was round and lush, the pasta stuffed with bracing green nettles and light ricotta. It couldn't have been more different from the steak frites, but it was every bit as wonderful."

The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) Fashion Talks series kicked off last night with Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, the founders of Opening Ceremony and current creative directors of Kenzo. The talented twosome's trajectory has been impressive, to say the least: over the past decade, they've gone from a couple of UC Berkeley grads with a penchant for shopping to designers, business moguls and international arbiters of cool. They've also breathed new life into Kenzo, the iconic French fashion house launched in 1970 by Kenzo Takada. Read on for the best tidbits from Leon and Lim's talk, then click through to shop our favorite OC and Kenzo merch.
1. After shelling out for rent and renovations for Opening Ceremony's Howard Street space back in the early aughts, Leon and Lim barely had enough cash to fill the store with clothes. So they had their moms pitch in by making pieces for OC to sell! That's part of the reason why sweatshirts still have a mighty presence in the shop today: they're relatively easy to sew (not to mention super-cool).
2. Ever wonder how Havaianas flip-flops, previously a Brazilian beach staple, first entered the US market? Leon and Lim scooped up multiple pairs during a 3 am supermarket run during a trip to Brazil, then brought them back to New York to sell at Opening Ceremony. At the time, Havaianas had never shipped the rubber footwear internationally. The rest, as they say, is history.
3. Opening Ceremony was not the first name Leon and Lim considered for their jointly-owned store. The downtown mecca of chic was almost called Airport—and Terminal was another contender, though Leon worried it would remind shoppers of "a terminal illness."
4. Leon was named his high school's homecoming king, while Lim took the "Most Likely to Succeed" title. Who says high school superlatives don't matter?
5. Kenzo's Fall 2013 show wowed us with its croc-embossed outerwear and third eye-embroidered separates—and as it happens, Leon and Lim sought a little help from their friend M.I.A. while brainstorming themes. "We were discussing the idea of Indian temples with her," Leon explained. "And she suggested all these temples for us to visit." An idea was born—and M.I.A. wound up creating a special soundtrack for the runway, too, which you can stream below. It's awesome.

Guest Blogger: Tips for Booking Cheap Flights to Japan
Popularly known as the 'Land of the Rising Sun', Japan is an outstanding blend of past and future. Its history stretching back thousands of years, Japanese traditional culture beautifully intersects with the latest fashions and trends of modern era. Retaining its native customs and traditions, this exclusive country has witnessed an epoch of openness and isolation.
The country of ground-breaking technologies and hypermodern civilization, Japan is too known for being an expensive tourist destination in the world. Especially, your flights to Japan are going to be the biggest expense of the trip. It can be saved to a certain extent by knowing how the travel industry works and spending some time on looking for best rates for booking cheap flights online. Don't worry — it can be a little hectic to find out cheap tickets but may not be as difficult as you think. You just need to understand how the travel industry works and know where to look for airfare discounts.
First, making small changes in your timetable can save a lot in your travel costs. Air ticket prices are seasonal with all airlines — companies offer different special deals for different times. Being flexible can save you up to $250 on flight bookings.
Find out the general price range and stumble upon cheap deals on air fare to Japan by using the internet and searching for cheap flight tickets to Japan on Google or another search engine. This will help you understand the best time to travel and the difference in cost between peak and non peak seasons. Make sure to explore several travel portals, as they all claim to offer the lowest airfares.
Golden Week is the one of the most expensive times to travel in and out of Japan. This falls in spring during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Another time that one should avoid traveling to Japan is New Year's from 27th December to 4th of January. August is also not recommended.The best time to find the cheapest deals on flight tickets is immediately after New Year celebrations. In fact, February and March are considered the off season for going to Japan, with the cheapest tickets for flights.
One more important thing that you can do is avoiding extra transportation costs from the airport. Instead of taxi rides from the airport to your hotel that significantly increase your travel costs, consider the Airport Limousine Bus or the Keisei Skyliner services that are up to 10 times cheaper than taxis.
So, do you still think that traveling to Japan is expensive? Well, it is expensive. But it's worth every penny, if you play it smart and follow the above tips that can reduce your travel cost.

Picocon tomorrow
Picocon is tomorrow in London (right behind the Albert Hall in the Imperial College Union Building), with Charles Stross and Ken MacLeod as guests.
I'm going. Anyone else? Say hello if you see me.
I'll report back on Sunday (probably).
3 Comments
I'll be there. Unfortunately I can't find a decent photo of myself, but I'm tall and thin. What do you look like? :)
I have arms and legs and a head.
Hmm, could be tricky.
Well, at least to start with, I'll also be carrying around a big bag of Vectors. Otherwise ... well, I guess Farah knows what I look like, and I'm sure you'll be able to identify her! But if I don't manage to say hi, have a good con anyway.

Ross MacDonald speaks about the importance of carpooling at the National Life building's carpool area for this week's "I Believe" essay. / EMILY McMANAMY, Free Press
I believe most of us dont realize and enjoy the benefits of using alternative transportation.
Before joining VTrans and the Go Vermont program, I surely didnt. I spent almost 20 years commuting to and from various jobs by myself (in cars yielding between 18-30 miles per gallon) with my coffee and Pop-Tart, while listening to radio stations playing whatever I wanted. I always justified this by saying I needed time to prepare for the day, unwind from the day or due to my unpredictable schedule. Then, understandably, theres the most-common reason: What if something happens, and I need my car? No matter the bus, carpool and other options, I was convinced the only thing that worked for me was my own car on my own terms.
Then I joined VTrans and became manager of the new Go Vermont program, a clearinghouse for all alternative transportation in the state. My job was to expand the program, and that meant I had to figure out how to address all the reasons people, including myself, gave for not carpooling. And, I realized, if I am interested in doing something to reduce my carbon footprint, I had an opportunity to try to improve all these alternative options.
Still, I remained skeptical, even when I first talked to my future carpool partner, who wanted to share my 32-mile ride to work. Being a relatively private person, I was anxious about spending so much time in a car with someone I barely knew. Discovering he and I had obvious generational, religious and political differences did nothing to ease my concerns. Then we tried it and, like the overwhelming majority who carpool or take the bus, have found it to be thoroughly enjoyable.
My carpool partner and I have enjoyed getting to know each other, and we take a genuine interest in the others work and family life. He has been an invaluable resource for me as I deal with issues at the office, and we both look forward to recounting our respective days as we drive home each evening.
In April 2010, a new commuter bus service started along U.S. 2 between St. Johnsbury and Montpelier, and we began riding the bus whenever one of us couldnt commit to a carpool for that day. Although it takes an extra 20 minutes to plan for the bus, I find the ride to be peaceful, and I arrive to work much better prepared to start the day than if I had driven myself. For a pleasant diversion, I regularly download a podcast or two onto my iPod before I head to the bus.
My carpool partner and I estimated we each save more than $6 per day when we either carpool or take the bus. Thats $30 per week, or about $1,500 per year in savings in gas and wear and tear on our cars. In addition, weve reduced our carbon emissions by more than 4 tons. With these kinds of numbers, and given these tough economic conditions, it becomes obvious why so many Vermonters are looking at their alternative transportation options, too.
I have become a true believer.
Alternative transportation not only saves significant money, but it is also an enjoyable way to start and finish the business day. I encourage you to try it. If you visit Go Vermonts website at www.connectingcommuters.org, youll find all the resources you need to design your own commute and learn about the many benefits of ridesharing, including the Guaranteed Ride Home program. It reimburses registered carpoolers for travel fees up to $70 when they face an unforeseen change of plans such as a work-related or family emergency that prevents them from traveling via their carpool.
I also believe it has been the input and support of Vermonters that has made Go Vermont what it is today. Wed love to hear from you, too. Let me know your thoughts at email@example.com.
Ross MacDonald lives in Peacham and commutes to Montpelier, where he is a public transit coordinator and manager of the Go Vermont program for VTrans. Contact Ross MacDonald at 828-5577 or at email@example.com.

People who died of smoking in the last several decades run into millions. A clear testimony of the dangers of smoking to a growing population of smokers especially amongst the teens. Most of the people who died from smokers that are talked about are celebrities, prominent people and role models in society. Yet the true picture is that millions others have died silently in hospital beds and in private homes.
Since 1964 approximately 12 million people have died of smoking tobacco. In addition an estimated 8.6 million people across the globe are in serious illness due to tobacco smoking.
You may follow this link on smoking statistics.
In most cases it is said "people who died of smoking" referring only to the diseases caused by smoking. Another dimension to deaths linked to smoking is that of people who die in other circumstances related to smoking. In the United States alone up to 1000 smokers and non-smokers are killed in home fires attributable to cigarettes. Injuries caused by smoking are also sky high. As a result there are well funded smoking and home fires campaigns across the United States.
Jack Cassidy an award winning Broadway TV and movie actor died in 1976 from a fire started by his own cigarette in his apartment. Let alone the ravaging California and Australian fires some of which are thought to have been caused by smoldering cigarettes. These fires claimed the lives of hundreds of people.
Then there are people who died of smoking as a result of disease. Patrick Swayze died at the age of 57 as a result of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was a life long cigarette smoker and a heavy drinker. Heavy cigarette smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer.
He was quoted as saying of his pancreatic cancer condition in light of his continued smoking;
List of the famous people who died of smoking
The list of well known people who died from smoking is long. Yet a longer unknown list is that of millions the world over. These died little known but representing the untold carnage of tobacco smoking.

Every week Arcane Brilliance strives to deliver a tiny parcel full of Mage-craft to your doorsteps. Not your real doorsteps, that would be creepy. Your virtual interweb doorsteps. This week, in addition to its usual magey goodness, that tiny parcel is pulsating with warlockian evil. You've been warned.
In case I haven't been clear on this in the past, I hate Warlocks. I've hated them since I was a child, when a Warlock ate my family. Just kidding, that didn't actually happen. My family is alive and well. In fact, I would say my Warlock prejudices originated as recently as last year, when I hit level 70 and took my first wide-eyed look at the brutal world of end-game PvP.
When our own V'Ming Chew (the only decent Warlock I know) suggested that we engage in a little back-and-forth in yesterday's Blood Pact column I was at first reluctant. I worried that halfway though the series of emails we sent back and forth to each other I might realize that I had 8 different DoTs hovering above my head, and a felhound might at some point end up eating my face. That didn't happen. Well, a felhound did eat my face, but that was in a completely unrelated Arena match last night. In fact, I thought the dialog went quite well: we agreed on a few points, agreed to disagree on other points, and nobody got killed. Or had their souls drained from their bodies.
Still, and not just because as a Mage it is my job to QQ more, I felt there was more to say. Last week I promised you a look at the Mage/Warlock rivalry, and after the break, I will try to deliver on that promise.
Mages didn't always hate Warlocks. Once upon a time, when we were young and Onyxia was only a gleam in the eye of some fresh-faced developer, back when PvP was what happened when the Alliance in Southshore got bored, Mages only disliked Warlocks. It was a sort of friendly competition: we tried to out-DPS each other in instances, and outroll each other when cloth gear dropped. Warlocks envied our raw damage output, and we coveted their Healthstones and pets.
Then came The Burning Crusade. Ten more levels. A whole new endgame. We all quested our merry way through Outland, blissfully unaware of what lay ahead. One by one, somewhere in Shadowmoon Valley or Netherstorm, we began to ding 70. Mages everywhere visited their class trainers and learned exciting new spells, saved up some money and bought a flying mount, and then looked around for something to do. Some of us went raiding. Some of us kept questing. And God help us, some of us took a wrong turn and ended up in Arena.
I firmly believe that this is where the rivalry really came into its own. We toted our spellbooks into small-scale, matchup-driven PvP and began to discover something.
We sucked.
Ok, to be fair, there are some classes Mages had the upper hand against. Alright, just Warriors. And maybe Hunters. And possibly a Pally or two, if they went afk or something. Most of the time, though, Mages entering Arena felt like they were essentially strapping a giant "Kill Me" sign to their foreheads. With time and gear, we found ways to at least hold our own against many other classes. A skilled Mage could be an asset to many team configurations, providing powerful burst damage and reliable CC when not being killed by Rogues. But not when a Warlock came out the other door. What should have been a good old fashioned caster-on-caster duel usually ended up a shamefully lopsided travesty that even when looked at in a very generous light could not be considered anything even remotely in the same neighborhood as a fair fight.
Warlocks had apparently been designed to be the perfect counter to Mages. At 60, it had been hard to beat a Warlock, but at 70 it was nearly impossible. Mages became discouraged. We whined. The official forums reverberated with howls of magey anguish.
Raiding Mages discovered a whole other side of the issue. Suddenly our DPS wasn't good enough. Hunters, Rogues, and worst of all, Warlocks, were eclipsing us on the damage meters. Mages had always known going in what their role was, and what the trade off for it would be. We were the kings of back-row DPS, but the single most fragile class in the game. At 70, we were still the most fragile class in the game, but suddenly not the highest DPS anymore. Conversely, Warlocks had eclipsed us as the new kings of caster DPS, and yet had evolved into the single most durable DPS class in the game, outliving even Rogues and Hunters. We QQed on the forums, and our hatred for Warlocks grew.
The rivalry itself evolved into something that could hardly even be called a rivalry anymore. In a true rivalry, both sides have to compete, and victory must alternate in some fashion. In almost every meaningful facet of the game, Warlocks were absolutely owning Mages. As it stands now, yes we hate them, but do they feel anything similar for us? Not really. Warlocks are more tired of our whining than anything else. They have nothing to fear from us, know that their position is secure in the class hierarchy, and in many ways think it's funny that Mages have fallen so far below them. Warlocks are Nintendo, and Mages are Sega. It's only a matter of time before Mages begin making crappy Sonic games for the Wii.
So where are we heading form here? I choose to look forward with optimism. As I said in yesterday's Blood Pact, endgame WoW is all about roles. As the game is designed now, there are three major roles (Tank, Healer, DPS) and one minor role (CC) of any significance. If you are not exceptional at one of these roles, you fail at endgame, regardless of skill level in many ways. Mages bring Polymorph to the table, and a food table to the table, and so-so DPS to the table. Warlocks bring PvP dominance to the table, exceptional DPS without sacrificing survivability, Healthstones, pets, CC, and probably 18 other crazy-awesome things I don't have room for. In short: Warlocks fill Mages' role better Mages do, only they don't have to sacrifice anything to do it. There is no trade-off for Warlocks. This breeds resentment.
If roles are required at endgame, and this game would cease to function if they weren't, then those roles need to be clearly defined and evenly distributed among the classes. There simply can't be two classes that fill a specific role if you're going to make one of them so much better than the other. You dilute the value of the lesser class, and alienate the many who play that class.
Here is what I propose, even though it won't ever happen. Blizzard needs to create a greater need for a debuff class. Shamans could fill this role, and in my heart of hearts I feel that Warlocks were made to fill it. Tone down Warlock DPS a bit (not a lot, let's not get crazy here) and upgrade their debuffs. Allow them to work on more bosses. Tweak balance so that every raid will need a debuff spot or two filled. Suddenly everybody has a role to fill. Instead of 16 different classes vying for 2 DPS spots in every five man group, now every class has a role to fill. It seems simple right? Makes perfect sense? Maybe? Ok maybe just a little bit? If you think about it the right way? Ok, you're right. I'm totally wrong. It sounded good for a second, though, right? No? Fine. Well, have fun flaming me!
Arcane Brilliance will return next week with a hard look at...something. I haven't decided what it'll be yet, but I'm sure it will be the greatest thing you have ever read in your entire life up until that very moment, and will remain so until you read the next Arcane Brilliance the following week. And so the cycle will continue for ever and ever, amen. Or not. I might talk about PvP. Arena or something. I'll get back to you.

how can we use <
:scriptlet /> tag in jspx file.
when I am using scriplet in my jspx file I am getting "The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. " error.
the reason behind this is: In my project I am using facelets so it doesnt understand what jsp:scriptlet tag means.
like I cant even use hx tags too. if I want to use hx tags in jspx file with facelets, I need to define it in taglib.xml file. I succesfully did that and working fine. In the same way to use jsp tags in my jspx file I need to define it in xml file for that I need the jsp tags tld file, which I am unable to find, could any one help me solving this problem. where can I get that tld file or the jar file in which this tld file is defined.
Any help is appreciated.

how can we use <jsp:scriptlet /> tag in jspx file.
Actually, I recommend that you don't.
There are 2 reasons, one technical, one ideological.
The technical reason is that scriptlets often don't have sufficient awareness of what
is doing on the page (and
vice versa
), and the results are often unfortunate.
The ideological reason is that JSF is a Model/View/Controller framework, and when you use scriptlets, you're usually adding non-view attributes to a View, which muddies the design of the program and makes it harder to understand and maintain.
JSF comes with iterative (datatable) and conditional ('rendered=') constructs that are sufficient to manage most conditional display requirements. What they can't do is usually something that should be controlled by back-end logic. That's true whether you're using Facelets or not.
An IDE is no substitute for an Intelligent Developer.

Thanks for your response.
the reason why I am asking this questions is, I want to invalidate session in the jsp file and close it.
I mean when I click exit button in any page it will come to close.jspx page where I should invalidate session and close the jspx file.
I invalidated session in the previous page and called close.jspx file, If I do this way when close.jspx file is loaded session is created automatically.
to avoid this I want to invalidate session in the closing page itself.
so please explain me how can I solve this problem.

Well, if what you're talking about is the usual "Log Out" button, what I normally do is attach the command button to a bean with an action method that invokes session.invalidate().
Then I return a navigation
that routes me to a page that has a "You have been logged out" message on it.
If that page doesn't reference any JSF managed beans in session scope, there will not be a session at that point and no session will be created as long as the user doesn't bring up a page with session-scope bean references.

yeah, I did the same way
I invalidate the session in the current page and routed my page to a new jspx file only to close it with empty body.
but still a new session is created. I dont know atually whats happening there.
my close.jspx file is:
<body onload="closewindow();">
and closewindow() script method will close the page.

If all you were doing was closewindow, it wouldn't create a session. JavaScript closewindow() doesn't even send anything to the server. And the server isn't going to create anything at all if a client doesn't make a request to it.

yes your right. butwhat happening here is I am invalidating the session in one page(backing bean) and routing to another page. so here when a new request is initiated a new session is created.(to be more clear when ever a new request is initiated my authentication filter will be invoked and checks for the availability of session. creates one if not there).
so I tried all the available solutions. what I can do is only to invalidate session in jspx file itself and close the window.
but somehow I couldnt do it.

I think you're fighting it too hard. Just to begin with, it's generally considered rude to go closing web browser primary windows, since a browser app session is something that runs within a browser that may be used before, after, or even in parallel with sessions to other web apps on other servers and even in other countries. About the only case where that would be considered proper is if you're setting up a kiosk-style system where the browser isn't supposed to be working outside of the selected application.
Closing pop-up windows is somewhat more forgivable, except that a lot of people thing pop-ups are pretty rude themselves. I have my browser set to open them as new tabs, instead, so things occasionally get confusing when pop-ups are involved.
JSF has a clearly-defined lifecycle, and that includes when the
will instantiate beans (and thereby possible create HttpSessions). As far as I can determine, there is no time after the execute Action phase that's going to construct session objects. In fact, JSF itself would have done any construction
the action processor is invoked, so the only way to construct a session object from that point onwards would be if your action processor did a getSession(true). If you did a session.invalidate, the session would be gone.
When you start talking
filters, that's another matter, but none of the standard JSF infrastructure interacts with servlet filters in ways that invalidate what I just described. What your servlet filter does depends on what you set it up to do.

the window what I am closing is a popup window. but one thing I found from your response is getting the session using getSession(true), but I getting the session using getSession(false).
and one more thing is it was the requirement that I should open my JSF project using a link from other project and that to it should open in a new tab.
that why when ever they want to close the jsf project user will click exit button and the tab should be closed automatically after invalidating the session and control will be focused to the previous tab where user can again click the JSF project. as session is invalidated a new request is initiated so the data before clicking the exit button will be flushed away.
I agree. Here's the link:

Headed to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands in the morning…I could hear the sounds of Calypso and steel drums already. I love St. Thomas and the Caribbean! The sun, white sand and turquoise water all seem to call my name.
On Our Way to St. Thomas!
Taking an early morning flight to the US Virgin Islands, we were excited to spend a week in St. Thomas which included a fun day trip to the beaches of St. John! The views of the Caribbean Sea and the islands below were amazing. As we approached the Virgin Islands we could see ribbons of white sand beaches and water as blue as the sky. Wow…one week to explore, swim, snorkel, shop and enjoy the food and music of the islands!
Exiting the airplane at the St. Thomas airport is on the tarmac and not in an enclosed airport as we are accustomed to. Walking directly into the airport terminal you are immediacy greeted with a complementary sample of local rum – cheers! That's a nice way to start a vacation. We picked up our luggage and our rental car and headed for Marriott's Frenchman's Cove where we would be staying for the next 4 nights.
Where We Stayed in St. Thomas
Our villa at Marriott's Frenchman's Cove was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and had a fully equipped kitchen. Frenchman's Cove is located on the south side of the island only 6 miles from the airport. It's near Charlotte Amalie, the capital and largest city of the US Virgin Islands.
While at Frenchman's Cove we stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath villa with a stunning view overlooking the Pacquereau Bay. The pool and beach were both inviting!
We wanted to see Magen's Bay overlook from Drakes Seat on the first day of our vacation. Magen's Bay and the surrounding islands can be seen from the overlook at Drake's Seat located at the top of the hill on Route 37. Legend has it that 16th-century explorer Sir Francis Drake kept watch on his fleet from this vantage point. I don't know if the legend is true but I can only image that he had one of the best seats on the island. We were amazed by the view!
We drove down to Magen's Bay Beach and paid the $4. per adult entrance fee. The beach itself is surrounded by high cliffs which gives it the spectacular view from above. It was late afternoon when we arrived so we didn't have a chance to swim or snorkel. The beach is stunning and we were able to walk the beach for awhile which was so relaxing we didn't want to leave!
Sapphire Beach on St Thomas has my vote for the most beautiful beach on the island. The beach is clean, the water crystal clear and the snorkeling is some of the best you will find on St. Thomas. Not to mention the breathtaking scenery surrounding you as you relax on this peaceful stretch of beach.
Bluebeard's Castle Hotel is where we stayed for the next 3 nights. Located high on a hilltop it has stunning views of the harbor and the town of Charlotte Amalie. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms at Bluebeard's have been newly renovated. We had a 2nd floor room with a balcony and a view of the harbor. We really enjoyed the spectacular view of the port with the cruise ships as they arrived and departed. The lights on the hillside of town in the evening were like tiny jewels in the mountains. Beautiful and very romantic! While staying at Bluebeard's Castle be sure to request a room overlooking the harbor in Charlotte Amalie.
This is the view of the beach and Marriott's Morning Star Resort from Frenchmen's Reef Resort. I love the hills surrounding this beach. What a beautiful setting!
Lindquist Beach was our favorite beach on St. Thomas. We paid the 2$ parking fee and parked right at the edge of the beach. The beach is small and private and the water is crystal clear. The view across the bay is amazing, you won't be disappointed.
At Lindquist we found the best snorkeling to be on the right side of the beach. We found lots of colorful fish congregating around the rocks and coral close to the shoreline. Grab your snorkel gear and jump in!
Blackbeard's Castle is located on the highest point on Government Hill in St. Thomas. It was built in 1679 as a watchtower to protect the harbor by spotting enemy ships. We drove to the top of the hill but you can also reach Blackbeard's Castle by climbing the historic 99 steps. The steps were built from the ballast bricks of the tall ships coming from the old world. The ships would then return to Europe filled with products produced in the islands. The view from Blackbeard's Castle, as you can imagine is one of the best views on the island. The ruins, which are on the National Register of Historic Places, are of the Pedersen Estate. Dating from the 17th century, they are part of an archaeological dig to learn more about life in the early years in the Caribbean.
On our self-guided walking tour of Charlotte Amalie we found that Fort Christian, built in 1680, is the oldest standing structure in the USVI. This building has served as the town center, a government building, and a jail. Today, it houses the St. Thomas Museum. I think the building looks pretty good for its age don't you?
The shops in downtown Charlotte Amalie, once used as warehouses during the 17th and 18th centuries to store goods for trade, were almost left for ruin. Several natural disasters including hurricanes and fires left the warehouses in need of major re-building. It would take years to rebuild the old warehouses to house the fancy boutiques and stores that line the streets today. There are hundreds of duty free shops along the streets and alleys of Charlotte Amalie. You can find buys on jewelry, alcohol, china, crystal, perfumes, cameras, watches and much more. You will also find several restaurants, candy shops, and souvenir stores here. We saved this stop for our last day in St. Thomas and enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the shopping area.
Some facts to help plan your trip to the US Virgin Islands:
It was a great week in the US Virgin Islands for us. We had fun exploring the island of St. Thomas and taking the ferry for a day trip to St. John. But mainly just being in this carefree laid-back atmosphere makes everything better. We were blessed with good weather for most of our time there and felt sad when it was time to leave. As I mentioned earlier, I love the Caribbean!

Tips on promoting your Facebook fan page
Your business needs to use only the best platforms online to gain more potential customers and clients. Social networking sites have grown up to become a very important part of marketing a business. However, there is a very hidden part of one social network that can be utilized to become extremely helpful.
This special place is on Facebook and it is the Facebook fan page section. When you click on "Create a Page" at the bottom of your Facebook homepage, you can easily create your own page. When this page has the profile photo uploaded, the info section filled up, and constant updates made to the fan page, you will find your page to be a great way to gain more customers and clients. One of the main benefits to this type of page is the fact your fans and visitors can click on "Like". This "Like" button is a very powerful tool since those who click on this button will have your page shared on their walls. The only difficulty that you may have to go through is actually promoting the fan page effectively and getting those first few "Likes".
Tips on promoting your Facebook page
Why not add a few new people to your main account who live nearby your business. This can be a great tip for getting more "Likes". While there are very few people who will accept the friend request, it can be a great help.
Consider placing a Facebook "Like" button on your website for your website visitors to click on it in case they enjoyed seeing their site. You can also encourage them by telling them to click on "Like" in order to receive a special discount of some kind.
A Facebook page can be extremely beneficial for your business. If you hope to gain more attention online and actually build your Internet's presence, then creating an effective page is the key to doing so. Remember, creativity can be a great addition to your page, so be creative when it comes down to building your site. Or even better, get a professional Facebook marketer to do it all for you.

Hi! Just wondered if the member's discount at Joann would apply only to full-price items, or would we get that discount on top of coupons that Joann might send us. Thanks!
It's on top of them, unless it's one of their 15% off or 25% off whole purchase coupons. You can only use one discount off entire purchase coupon per transaction.
biochemistress is right. I have the teachers discount card and have them scan it every time I make a purchase. Some of the cashiers will try and tell you "it won't take off anything because you have a coupon" or "it's already on sale"...not always the fact...have them scan it, every time.
Interesting...I've only been able to use my PR discount card a few times as the cashier always told me it was only for full price items. In the future I will ask to have my card scanned anyway!
Wow, good to know. I qualify for this through both PR and ASG but never got the card because I only pay full price at Joann in an emergency.
------YAN: Yet Another Nancy
The front of the card states "includes regular, sale priced & clearance items* some exclusions apply.
*Back of card states: cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon; no in-store/online purchase combinations. Reproductions not accepted. Offer excludes previous purchases; purchases of gift cards; remnants; all patterns.
The card does include a promotion code for online discount.
However, it does not list the usual sales exclusions such as sewing machines, etc.
Maybe that would be at "Get details at joann.com/VIP".

"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
The exclusions are pretty much the same stuff listed on their coupons: Sewing machines, patterns etc.
Good information. Thank you for sharing. Because I've been told the same thing before. Now, I will insist that they scan my card. Of course, I will say it in a nice way.
Ok, just read what PattiAnnJ posted. Never mind what I said.
-- Edited on 4/18/13 4:01 PM --
Is there a discount card that PR members show. If so, where do I get/print the card? Thank you
It worked for the Red Tag fabrics I purchased yesterday, so the ones marked $6.00 were $2.70.

Go with the flow: Campus traffic and parking solutions: 20 tips for better transportation management
- Posted on May 4th, 2010 filed in Magazine
Offer a pedestrian-friendly core campus. … A road ran through the center of Fairfield University's campus in the 1960s (top). Shifting that road to the perimeter (bottom) was the first step in the ongoing effort to make the campus more pedestrian friendly.…These efforts can make the campus safer for pedestrians, increase socializing when people walk together, and lower an institution's carbon footprint.

Will backlighting effect sun readability?
Usually CCFLs provide better lighting due to their wideband dispersion - they can imitate natural lighting etc. Though white LEDs have improved.
Just took apart my LCD from my old laptop and will be looking to perform a similar replacement. I'm considering using 3mm LEDs instead since size isn't that much of a concern to me (case is broken, so I need a new custom case anyway). If it gets me a sunlight readable monitor, then I'll make a car PC with it.
Editted: I just tried the above method with some leftover LEDs (both 3mm and 5mm ultra bright LEDs with like 8000 mcd at 3.5V, though I'm only using 3V to power them for this test) and the results were not very good, the old CCFL seems to be better and I think it is that the diffuser for the laptop's LCD is to thin to diffuse all the light throughout(like only 2mm thick).
I might also try to get wide angled LEDs like the SMD LEDs as internal reflection does most of the work transmitting the light to the LCD?

Sorry Bes - we missed each other.
Too bothered not to leave a comment?
So correct in your incorrect earlier posts that you were bothered enough to delete them? Without notification or reason?
Only you can explain how one string can "rob" another string of current.
Only you can explain how your referenced paper that describes using junction voltage to measure temperature explains or proves you "LED instability" arguments.
Only you can explain why a PWM has a current issue.
You do have the experience don't you?
Or will you be "word perfect" and blame it on mis-expression?
I tried to prevent one-hundred odd parallel single LED strings each with resistors.
I provided a method of controlling dimming that has no voltage-modulation complications.
You "begged to differ" and then starts a long exchange of replies where I was trying to inform else find out where misunderstanding or knowledge gaps lie.
I never even got to my original intention which was to explain how to truly dim the CCFLs etc AND thereby decrease their power consumption. (And their effect on the incar 3D LCDs.)
The cynical would think you were selling LEDs or kits!
Don't bother with another "Drop it" - as I posted, I dropped before your request. If my expression is so poor that even that was not understood, I apologise, but you have done little to assist.
But consider this thread dead and unwatched by me.
Others can use PMs to notify me.
I shall leave readers and thrill-seekers for the final word from Bes (not that he will be bothered), and his experienced expertise.
LOL! Keep trying.
So why delete your posts - to save space?
You were the one that kept disagreeing, throwing in diversions, not explaining etc.
Why not re-post what you said and let others judge?
(Or I might link to where they can be found if you are unable too.)
So, one electrical string will rob current from another (non-current controlled circuit)?
WOW! You must explain to us why the basic laws (ie, Ohm's) fail in this instance.
Oh - that's right, because of the resistor!
Maybe you should have gotten your education on the west coast instead....
My attitude is bad - I try to rectify incorrect knowledge; save people money; provide simpler ans superior solutions.
That makes me real bad in the eye of those with vested interests, or egomaniacs, etc.
Change opinion. Nah - I do that often. But it will be difficult to get me to change opinion form V-IR, or that a 12V PWM max current is somehow different to flat 12V DC, or that your LEDs will not tolerate more than 20mA (despite your linked pdf clearly showing currents up to 200mA!).
More transference, diversion and debunking usually doesn't cut it - except maybe for the gullible. (They have already forgotten else don't understand the significance of my simple questions above. Hey - they might not even now the answers themselves. They've got no hope of understanding how simple solutions can be. They are the sort that think specs are fudged - they do not understand the context of the specs. They think "statistics lie".)
So it is only you and I that are interested eh. What a waste!
At least the moderators won't be concerned.
Normally I wouldn't bother either, but to think that someone was so silly or concerned that they actually deleted their own posts.... Geez - that reminds me of a certain child king (Carl-Gustav? 14th? 17th??), not that anyone would try to censor history of course!
But this was handed to me on a plate....
But if this un-subscribe fails yet again, I will be complaining to management about this system!
Now make sure you do not answer any of my questions.
Make sure you have the last word. And that will involve the expected personal attacks and debunking of me etc. Don't forget to refer to your years of experience in the field - with the maturity that we are showing in this thread, I'm sure people will underestimate our age and experience.
One more reply will pay my trip to Täby (oh I miss her). Maybe then you and I could get together and fika. And talk.

I'm not sure I understand.
Do you mean you have 2-3 % difference between the old reports interface and the new one?
Didn't see anyone post yet on it, so please move or post if its been done already. Anyone checked out the new Adsense backend? Seems like there is a 2 -3 percent differential in CTR between the legacy and new interface to me. Reports seem slicker. Thoughts?
I'm not sure I understand.
Do you mean you have 2-3 % difference between the old reports interface and the new one?
Sorry if I was confusing.
New Interface shows a CTR that is 2.6% less than what the old interface shows for the same time period for me.
New Interface shows 5,000 more impressions than the Old Interface for the same timeframe.
Maybe that's the reason for decrease in CTR in the report? 5,000 impressions getting counted under the new interface with the same #clicks....
i'm opposite ....
CTR increase, impression drop and CPM also drop (expected) it happen every alternate month
Hmmm, weird. That being said, I kinda like the old interface better myself. What about you guys?
The new interface has a lot more features and information, yet I like the old one better also.
