Remember Mike if you need any help with the hogs this winter I'm just a phone call away.
Have you tried any NOE moulds?
I hear ya, and if I could guarantee they would be around when you got here I wouldn't hesitate to set something up. My little place is simply a stop over point for them as they travel to and from where ever it is they go. I catch them coming across every now and again, and on my game cams once in a while, but I am either here during the week working or if there on a weekend, sleeping. I don't bother them much at night, since I usually hit the floor around 4'ish every morning, I'm usually starting to slow down pretty well around 8'ish in the evening. I head down in the pasture just before sunrise every time we're up there in the hopes of intercepting them as they cross. I get lucky every once in a while, but mostly it is all happenstance.
I DO have one NOE mold, but it is in a 160gr .264 for my 6.5. I haven't even poured any lead though it yet. I picked it up as part of a bundle I got from a fellow on another forum. It looks to be brand new and never used. Might be. I did some reading up on loading the 6.5 with cast AFTER picking it up and not sure I want to dive off into that just yet. I get frustrated enough with that particular rifle loading jacketed so figured I would just hold off until I got one of the 30 cal's up and running first. Of course I need to finalize the loads for my revolvers before I jump off into those as well cause I know once I do the revolvers will be sitting on the shelves for a while.

Now this is how you start a show.
The Academy Awards uphold a tradition of elegance and prestige, but that doesn't stop hosts from getting a little silly during the ceremony's opening moments. The Oscar monologue is a rare beast with a unique set of goals: make people laugh, name-drop celebrities, stay relevant, avoid being too offensive and most importantly, don't be boring.
Numerous emcees have mastered this formula, from reliable pros like Billy Crystal to one-time hosts like Hugh Jackman, whether in traditional stand-up form or as a musical number. (We're looking at you, Neil Patrick Harris.)
Regardless of how they're delivered, these are the best opening monologues the Oscars have ever seen, dating all the way back to 1953.
Clocking in at 19 ceremonies, Bob Hope holds the record for most Oscars hosted, but this one might be the most special, since it was the first time the Oscars were ever televised. Even 63 years later, Hope is hilarious.
The face of The Tonight Show brought his hosting chops to the Oscars stage five times in his career. He cracked consecutive one-liners, but the highlight of his set was probably when he had the audience help him choose a new wallpaper for his bedroom.
One of Crystal's biggest hosting moments was entering as Hannibal Lecter when Silence of the Lambs was up for seven awards. He was totally committed to the bit: he wore the mask, got wheeled in by attendants in lab coats and stood there for the first few moments eerily staring in silence.
Goldberg's hosting debut was in 1994, making her the first African American woman to host the awards show, but it was this year that she really made her entrance. Take a look at her costume and you'll see why.
Martin was on fire throughout his whole set, but he really hit it home with his closing line, when he played on how many times Crystal has hosted the awards show: "Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman. I only get to do it when Billy Crystal is out of town."
What better way to introduce the Kodak Theater as the Oscars's new home than by descending from the ceiling dressed in feathers and sequins?
The comedian tapped on his witty one-liner for a sequel two years later. "Hosting the Oscars for the second time is like making love for a woman for the second time…I guess."
Crystal has hosted a whopping nine Academy Awards. After emceeing so many times, he of course has a favorite actor to pick on: Jack Nicholson. Before entering into a medley about the night's nominees, (he was a fan of the musical number), Crystal emerged onstage with Nicholson's signature glasses and a spot-on impression of his smile.
"Welcome to the 77th and last Academy Awards," Rock began. Though there were mixed reviews about his performance, one thing he did for sure was create a stepping stone for this year's ceremony.
Stewart rang in his first time hosting with a hilarious skit about how he only got the gig because all the other legendary Oscar hosts (Crystal, Martin, even Letterman) were simply too busy.
Her first time on stage, DeGeneres shared how she dreamt of hosting the Oscars since she was a little girl. Little did she know she would be asked to host twice.
When he returned two years later, Stewart was surprised to find a medley of dismal and violent movies, such as Atonement, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood up for prizes. "Does this town need a hug?" He asked. "All I can say is, thank God for teen pregnancy," he said of Juno.
Jackman, another fan of the musical number, used his opening moments to describe each of the nominated films in song and dance. He even brought up Anne Hathaway for an impromptu duet, foreshadowing their work together in Les Miserables a few years later.
Martin was on a roll all three times he hosted, the latest alongside Alec Baldwin. The duo surprisingly made a fine pair, sharing jokes and the stage, including poking fun at George Clooney.
Seven years after her first time on the Oscars stage, DeGeneres made a bold comeback. The talk show host usually sticks to light topics in the daytime, but she wasn't afraid to dish a little dirt. Later that evening she would go on to take the most legendary selfie of all time.
The popularity of NPH's musical monologues at the Tonys and Emmys helped land him an emcee gig at the Academy Awards last year, where he continued to show off his singing chops. He was joined onstage by two other musically-talented actors, Anna Kendrick and Jack Black.

Grid applications have demanding I/O needs. Schedulers must bring jobs and data in close proximity in order to satisfy throughput, scalability, and policy requirements. Most systems accomplish this by making either jobs or data mobile. We propose a system that allows jobs and data to meet by binding execution and storage sites together into I/O communities which then participate in the wide-area system. The relationships between participants in a community may be expressed by the ClassAd framework. Extensions to the framework allow community members to express indirect relations. We demonstrate our implementation of I/O communities by improving the performance of a key high-energy physics simulation on an international distributed system.

Oh nipples, little nubs of flesh above big, small, bouncy (etc.) boobies. For some it's a no-go zone. For others, yes touch it, and keep on touching. Whatever it is, we all have them. For most men, their nipples are just little pieces of meat that protrude outside their areolae; touch them or not, makes no difference to them. But female nipples are slightly different. Not only are they like little nozzles whence milk comes from to feed babies, they are so much more…
Yes, some women can experience a full-blown orgasm just by nipple stimulation alone. Yes, go ahead, I'll wait here while your mind is blown. So yeah, not only do we have vaginal orgasm and clitoral orgasm, now we can add nipple orgasm to the list. But just like the other types of orgasm, not all women can experience nipple orgasms. How does it happen? Turns out stimulating the nipples of some women activates the area of the brain known as genital sensory cortex and which is the same area that gets activated while stimulating the clitoris. So essentially a woman's brain processes nipple stimulation the same way it does clitoral stimulation and BAM! Orgasm. Pretty brilliant.
The common misconception is that an erect set of nipples is an indication that a woman is sexually aroused. While erect nipples definitely draw attention, this is a false notion. Nipples become erect for many reasons – many of which are not sexual in nature. Cold? BAM! Erect nipples. Your clothes rub against them? Erect nipples! Sometimes, she might be sexually aroused and her nipples may not become erect. So yeah, them nipples will behave any damn way they please. The point is, don't use erect nipples as a sign that she's down to get it on!
They're all different
Adolescent boys (and maybe some men) – getting their cues mostly from porn and Photoshopped porn stars in magazines – might not realize that every woman's nipple is different. Some can have pink areolas, some brown, and some dark brown. Some even black. A whole scale of colors. Women have little bumps on their areolas – a product of their Montgomery glands. We also have hair growing around our nipples. No it isn't abnormal. It is the most normal, natural thing in the world.
Innies vs. Outties
I know that 'outtie' nipples seem to be the norm, but inverted nipples are fairly common – 10 to 20 percent of women have them. It's caused by shorter-than-usual milk-bearing ducts in the breast. It's nothing that is a health risk, but might be a bit of a problem during breastfeeding.
The third wheel
Ah yes, the third nipple, the butt of jokes in countless comedies. Fortunately it isn't that uncommon, both men and women get them. 1 in 18 men and 1 in 50 women have extra nipples. There are ways to get rid of them, but if it doesn't bother you, then might as well see if this extra nipple is as sensitive as your regular ones and try and give yourself a nipple orgasm!

The first wave of NFL free agency is over and Giants free-agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins remains on the market.
Well, it may have something to do with his asking price. ESPN reported Thursday that Hankins is seeking a monster payday. The report said Hankins is seeking more than $10 million per year. That seems like a lofty goal.
Dontari Poe, who is considered a better player than Hankins by most, signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Falcons on Thursday. Bennie Logan got the same deal from the Chiefs.
There has not been much discussion at all of where Hankins could land, and his contract demands appear to the be the reason. The Miami Herald reported he also is looking for a multi-year deal, but with Poe and Logan signing one-year deals, that also seems unlikely.
The big money in free agency already has been doled out. The next wave of free agency is smaller deals. The contracts of Poe and Logan are more in line with what can be expected after the first few days of free agency.
Hankins, who turns 25 on March 30, had three sacks and a forced fumble for the Giants last year. The 2013 second-round pick has 10 career sacks.
The Giants have very little salary-cap space left after making a few moves at the start of free agency, the biggest being the signing of wide receiver Brandon Marshall. They could clear some space if needed, but it seems like Hankins may be pricing himself out of a return.
Giants general manager Jerry Reese attended Vanderbilt's Pro Day on Thursday, according to ESPN. He may have been eyeing linebacker Zach Cunningham, who is expected to be a first-round pick.
Reese does not hit a lot of Pro Days, so his presence raised some eyebrows. He attended the Pro Days of eventual Giants first-round picks Odell Beckham Jr. (LSU) in 2014 and Ereck Flowers (Miami) in 2015. He also went to see Georgia's Leonard Floyd last year, who was believed to be the Giants' top target.

1 lb pasta (linguini works well)
1 large can tomatoes (you can use whole tomatoes, but crush them)
3 cloves garlic
olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinager (or to taste)
seitan, pepperoni style (amount according to individual taste)
Fresh basil (Five or so leaves)
1. Mince garlic and basil and slice or chop seitan according to what you like for texture. Combine and sautee in several tablespoons oil.2. Before garlic browns, add crushed tomatoes.3. Stir, and bring to a simmer. Add some of the vinager.
Note: The vinager acts sort of like vegan red wine in the sauce, and seems to be a decent substitute for people who don't have access to alcohol, like in school.
4. Start boiling pasta.5. Cook sauce for about 20 minutes, or longer (stirring once in a while), to get all the flavors mixed. Add rest of vinager about five or so minutes before the end.6. Sauce should be rather generously poured over the pasta, and enjoyed.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by marty232, Feb 4, 2008.
I use a blower blow leafs into piles in the car parks but whats the best way to pick up the piles?
Leaf loader mounted on a truck.
Who needs a leaf loader?
Ok on second thought its easier.
If the car park is only 6'2" or so, either you use a shovel, or a walkbehind vacuum such as the little wonder. Nice thing about the little wonder, it has enough power to pick up sand, small rocks etc...

A number of major U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air regulations have been held up in litigation and reconsideration for years.

Uncertainty in the status of these regulatory regimes and how new regulations are interpreted and applied is critical to state air quality planning, permit requirements and business decisions. This session focuses on implementation of the new 1-hour pollutant standards for NO2 and SO2; outfall from the D.C. Circuit's vacation of the cross state air pollution regulations and the combined impact of the many new utility sector regulations; and compliance challenges under the revised boiler MACT and greenhouse gas NSPS regulations.

Particular attention is given to common policy language and exclusions, as well as the evolution of the pollution exclusion. Understanding how insurance policies can be utilized to help facilitate property and corporate transactions is also discussed.

Waste management, disposal, and recycling are significant liabilities for an industry if not performed in accordance with all relevant rules and regulations. New regulations are emerging as new risks are realized to the environment. Segregation, generator awareness, and training hold the key, but do environmental managers understand the law? This session focuses on regulatory traps for the unwary and discusses the various regulatory issues faced by the waste disposal industry.

Diddy-Dirty Money - Hello, Good Morning (feat. Rick Ross & T.I.
The rap superstar flashes his bling, drives fast cars and cavorts with beautiful women as he joins forces with the singer in Hello, Good Morning, which also features Rick Ross, Swiss Beatz, Dawn Richard and Kalenna.
It is the third single to come from his Last Train to Paris album that will revolve around a narrative that follows the hip-hop mogul as he embarks on a journey to reunite with a would-be love.
The Diddy-Dirty Money video follows clips for the singles Loves Comes Down and Angels.
Of the long-awaited album, Diddy previously told MTV: "We're just trying to roll it out properly.
"I wanted a chance to lay out songs for you. A lot of singles we putting out now - that's the introduction.
"We didn't even get to that Train music. We're hitting you with warning shots, letting you know we're here."

More people are buying cars on eBay every day, looking for that perfect car at a bargain price. Although many people are wary of buying a car they've never seen before, there are millions who bid on cars every day. In fact, car sales are eBay's single biggest source of revenue, with billions of dollars changing hands each year. If you're interested in buying a car on eBay, there are a few things you should know in order to protect yourself.
1. Do your homework. Buying a car on eBay requires a bit of a leap of faith, but if you research the vehicle properly, you can be confident you have all the information you need. Email the seller any questions you have and ask for proof of inspection and a copy of the title. Also check out the car's history through eBay's Autocheck system or log onto CarFax, where you can get a complete auto history for less than $30.
2. Check out the seller's history. eBay reviews all sellers and allows customer feedback. If the seller of the car you're interested in has a history, you can get a reliable idea of their trustworthiness. Don't forget to read the comments left by other buyers!
3. Know what a fair price is for the car. If you've spotted that perfect SUV on sale with no rust and a clear accident report, you may be tempted to bid whatever it takes to get it, particularly if you're sucked into a bidding war with someone who wants it as much as you do. Don't do it. Research fair market value before bidding and decide on a price you're willing to pay, then stick with it. Two good sources of information on automobile values include Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book.
4. Be sure to factor in the cost of pick-up or delivery. If you live in Nebraska and you're purchasing a car in Florida, you'll need to either pick up the car or have it delivered. Delivery is often the best option; taking time off work to drive across country can cost a lot, particularly after you buy a one-way plane ticket to get to the car's location. Price auto transport services and take this into account when deciding how much you're willing to pay for the vehicle.
5. Use eBay's Vehicle Protection Plan. This protects you against loss from a variety of possible problems, including undisclosed damages to the car, fraudulent sales, mileage discrepancies and problems you have receiving the car after payment has been made.
6. Look for no reserve auctions. These are cars that don't have a reserve price that has to be met before the car can be sold. You'll generally get a better price on a car with no reserves, particularly if bidding is slow and the car appeals to a specific type of buyer.
7. Look for the seller's cancellation policy. The top sellers will usually give you the opportunity to cancel the sale after you've seen the car or had it inspected. If the auction says the car is being purchased "as is," or specifies the sale is final once your bid is accepted, it's best to walk away. The seller may be hiding something.
8. Take advantage of eBay's certified pre-owned vehicles. These cars have been inspected at a local auto dealership and usually come with a warranty. They will have been checked for any mechanical problems, hidden damage or mileage discrepancies.
9. Once you win the bid on the car of your dreams, be sure to pay either through financing, PayPal, or in cash on delivery. Western Union or other instant payment options should be avoided.
Armed with these tips, you should be able to find and buy a car on eBay with confidence. When that auto transport pulls up a few days later and unloads the car of your dreams, you'll be glad you took advantage of one of the best ways there is to buy a used car at a reasonable price.

Tip #9 – Buy Local and in Season
Technology allows us the luxury of buying almost any food at almost any time, year round. Our society has become disconnected from the rhythm of the seasons. After generations of easy availability, we have come to believe that without modern technology we would be unable to feed ourselves, especially in the winter.
But we belong to the Earth and her life cycles. By seeking local foods in season we become reconnected with nature and the wisdom of our ancestors. Our very cells instinctively know that food is most delicious and most nutritious when it is grown on a small scale, locally, and harvested in season. This is because it is raised in soil that is nutrient-rich instead of nutrient-depleted. Contrast this with some organic foods that are grown in large quantities, picked before ripening and travel long distances to sit in storage for months before they reach the supermarket shelves. Which do you think is more nutritious?
So how do we know what's in season? One way to know is to visit your local grocer and the farmers market on a regular basis. If it's in season, it will be for sale there.
You may find foods that you've never seen before. Local grocers and small farmers love when you ask about them. Buy something that's completely unfamiliar to you. Find out what it is and jot down the name on a piece of scrap paper so you won't forget it by the time you drive home. Type it into your search engine, add the word "recipe" next to it and see what comes up. Be adventurous! Have fun experimenting with your taste buds!
Local, sustainably raised produce and meats are less expensive than certified organic. However, they are still somewhat more expensive than conventionally produced foods. Tell yourself you're worth it.

Doing more with Dropbox
Box It!
The proprietary Dropbox service has become a popular way to exchange large files. The Dropbox web API also supports scripts, like the one in this article that picks up files from behind a firewall.
Recently, an intern at Yahoo offered to lend me a digital audio book and suggested that she could "dropbox" it for me. Although I do try to keep in touch with today's youth, I was surprised to hear that the service offered by dropbox.com has become some kind of ubiquitous standard, to the point that "to dropbox" is now a verb, just like "to google."

Combining statistical rigour and behavioural science we open up a fresh perspective on change and highlight hidden opportunities for innovation.
Challenging AssumptionsWe challenge received wisdom, gut instincts and organisational habits as the main barriers to effective change.
Our approach will shine a light on unquestioned assumptions, sharpen your strategic thinking and build change on solid evidence and robust metrics.
Behaviour is everythingEvery organisational challenge you face can (and should) be boiled down to a challenge of human behaviour.
Rooted in the behavioural sciences, our work is genuinely human-centred: evidence-based change, crafted to flow with the grain of human behaviour.
Recent updates
Chester students 'Change the World'
Students from the University of Chester have been working with a Welsh charity to design integrated behaviour change interventions tackling entrenched social issues in the area.
Two teams of students from the second year 'Advertising and Society' course have been working in close partnership with Safer Wales, a Cardiff based charity focussed on "making people feel safer in their daily lives" as part of their BA degree course. The charity, who are currently working on projects tackling domestic violence and hate-crime, answered our 'Change the World' call out earlier in the year, recognising the benefit of taking a behaviour change approach to tackling prejudice and domestic abuse in Cardiff.
Case study:
RSPCA: Cat Neutering
How can we address the issue of cat overpopulation by encouraging responsible ownership?
The RSPCA, along with other cat welfare charities, has been running educational programmes and operational initiatives to encourage owners to neuter their cats for many years. Free neutering vouchers are provided via the RSPCA's inspectorate and branches to those in need, of which redemption is currently at around 50 per cent.
The Future of Sustainability is Design
The future of sustainability is design, not communication. When it comes to building brands and driving change, effective communication is a prerequisite. Unsurprisingly then, communications are often the first port of call when it comes to the unique challenges and opportunities that sustainability represents for today's brands.
However, emerging cultural, economic and technological trends related to sustainability are forcing brands to think differently about the role of communications in their wider brand ecosystem. As is so often the case, when the game is changing this quickly, a more effective solution requires a redefinition of the problem.

Fresh setback for Sidibe
Stoke's Mamady Sidibe has suffered a setback in his return from an Achilles injury after picking up a knock.
Last Updated: 10/02/11 8:40pm
Stoke's Mamady Sidibe has suffered a setback in his return from an Achilles injury after picking up a knock in training.
The 31-year-old former Swansea and Gillingham striker has been on the sidelines for the last five-and-a-half months but appeared to be progressing well having scored for the reserves in a 2-1 win over Burton on Wednesday.
The Malian was injured during training on Thursday morning, although the club have not confirmed the nature of the problem.
"Mamady did pick up an injury this morning and finished training early," confirmed a Stoke spokesman.
"We are awaiting scans to discover the extent of the injury. We do not want to speculate until we have the results of those."
Defender Ryan Shotton believes Sidibe has suffered a fresh Achilles problem, posting on his Twitter page: "It is his Achilles again yeah? Not a good day for all of us."

PA state Sen. Jay Costa announced his plans for legislation on a host of gaming issues in a memorandum of co-sponsorship. The legislation will tackle online gambling and land-based casino taxes, as well.
But another key component are provisions that would legalize and regulate DFS, while also creating licensing fees and taxes for operators. Here is what the memo says:
The bill will also authorize daily fantasy sports games in the Commonwealth. A license fee of $2.5 million will be imposed. Daily fantasy sports revenues will be taxed at a rate of 25%, and all tax revenues will be deposited into the State Lottery Fund.
The memo notes that it counts on $5 million for the state from two such licenses being procured. Presumably, Costa is assuming both DraftKings and FanDuel would pay the licensing fee.
This is the obvious question upon seeing the basic setup for DFS operators in the Keystone State, under Costa's plan.
No one is going to pony up $2.5 million for DFS other than DraftKings, FanDuel, or the ensuing merged DFS platform. And even if they could afford it, they likely don't want to set the precedent of agreeing to such an exorbitant rate.
No state has set a DFS licensing fee anywhere near $2.5 million, let alone seven figures. The 25% tax rate would be the highest tax rate, by far, of the states that tax DFS revenue. The only ones close are New York (15.5%) and Missouri (11.5%)
(The above analysis does not take into account Nevada, where no traditional DFS operator is licensed.)
Costa's bill could amount to a non-starter for legal DFS in the state, if those numbers are set in stone. But this is far from the first time DFS regulation has been considered in PA. This is not likely to be end of the discussion as the bill moves its way through the legislative process.
Of course, most DFS operators already serve PA users without explicit legalization. So a bill that would force most of them out will likely face pushback.
What does appear to be certain is that DFS legalization in PA continues to be tied to online gambling and a larger gambling expansion. And that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

Dorset Air Ambulance "Working as Quickly as Possible" to get Airborne Again
9:37am 13th December 2013
(Updated 12:56pm 13th December 2013)
Dorset and Somerset's Air Ambulance is still grounded today (Friday 13th December).
Bond Air Services, who make the model of helicopter, made the decision after a problem with a fuel gauge on one of their choppers. It's the same model as the Police chopper that crashed in Glasgow last month killing 10 people.
Work is being carried out to fix the fault.
In the meantime Dorset and Somerset Air ambulance crews will use their Rapid Response Vehicle and will also get help from neighbouring air ambulance services.
A statement from the charity says they're working as quickly as possible to resolve the problem.
"At this time Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is currently suspended from flying. After initial investigations a technical fault has been found on the aircraft (G-DORS) and work is now underway to rectify the problem. The Charity is working with Bond Air Services to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
We are unaware at this stage of the timescales involved but are reassured that Bond Air Services are working with Eurocopter to identify the resources required to rectify the defect.
Patient needs will continue to be our top priority. Our crew will be on hand to attend, and assist if the need arises, via our Rapid Response Vehicle which is located at our airbase on the Dorset and Somerset border."
Assistance will also be met by support from our neighbouring air ambulances and ambulance services. This also extends to the coordinated use of other assets such as Police and Search and Rescue aircraft."

The present application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/733,767, filed on Dec. 8, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,523,114, which claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/199,731 entitled "Method and System for Categorizing Items in Both Actual and Virtual Categories" filed Apr. 24, 2000.
The present invention relates generally to the field of database architecture and, more specifically, to the categorizing of database items in both an actual category and a virtual category.
Web sites, or other network-based data aggregators or presenters, commonly use category schemas to provide context and structure for data items. For example, within an on-line web site directory, such as that presented by Yahoo! Incorporated of Santa Clara, Calif., web sites are commonly classified under an extensive category schema.
Within commercial web sites, product or service offerings are also commonly classified under a category schema so as to enable convenient user navigation of offerings to locate offerings of interest. For example, eBay, Incorporated of San Jose, Calif., implements an extensive categorization schema for an on-line auction service. Specifically, a seller wishing to post an item for auction on the on-line auction facility is required to specify a category for the relevant product offering.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements and in which:
A method and system for categorizing items in both actual and virtual categories are described. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be evident, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details.
For the purposes of the present specification, the term "transaction" shall be taken to include any communications between two or more entities and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to, commercial transactions including sale and purchase transactions, auctions and the like.
The term "virtual category" shall be understood to be a category that, for a particular data item, is not directly recorded as being associated with the data item. Nonetheless, a "virtual category" may, for a further data item, be directly recorded as an appropriate category, and for such a further data item will comprise an "actual category" (or a "real category").
The auction facility 10 includes one or more of a number of types of front-end servers, namely page servers 12 that deliver web pages (e.g., markup language documents), picture servers 14 that dynamically deliver images to be displayed within Web pages, listing servers 16, CGI servers 18 that provide an intelligent interface to the back-end of facility 10, and search servers 20 that handle search requests to the facility 10. E-mail servers 21 provide, inter alia, automated e-mail communications to users of the facility 10.
The back-end servers include a database engine server 22, a search index server 24 and a credit card database server 26, each of which maintains and facilitates access to a respective database.
The Internet-based auction facility 10 may be accessed by a client program 30, such as a browser (e.g., the Internet Explorer distributed by Microsoft Corp. of Redmond, Wash.) that executes on a client machine 32 and accesses the facility 10 via a network such as, for example, the Internet 34. Other examples of networks that a client may utilize to access the auction facility 10 include a wide area network (WAN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless network (e.g., a cellular network), or the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) network.
Central to the database 23 is a user table 40, which contains a record for each user of the auction facility 10. A user may operate as a seller, buyer, or both, within the auction facility 10. The database 23 also includes item tables 42 that may be linked to the user table 40. Specifically, the tables 42 include a seller items table 44 and a bidder items table 46. A user record in the user table 40 may be linked to multiple items that are being, or have been, auctioned via the facility 10. A link indicates whether the user is a seller or a bidder (or buyer) with respect to items for which records exist within the item tables 42.
The database 23 also includes one or more category tables 47. Each record within the category table 47 describes a respective category. In one embodiment, a specific category table 47 may describe multiple, hierarchical category structures, and include multiple category records, each of which may describe the context of a particular category within the one of the multiple hierarchical category structures. For example, the category table 47 may describe a number of real, or actual, categories to which item records, within the item tables 42, may be linked. For example, as shown in
The category table 47 may also define a number of "virtual" hierarchical category structures that support alternative navigation paths that may be presented to a user to locate a particular item. In one embodiment, categories of a "virtual" hierarchical category structure are not directly referenced within item records within the item tables 42, but are instead linked to "real" categories. Accordingly, in one embodiment, no category identifiers 62 within the item tables 42 point directly to a "virtual" category. As will be described in further detail below, multiple virtual categories may be linked to a single real category.
The database 23 also includes a note table 48 populated with note records that may be linked to one or more item records within the item tables 42 and/or to one or more user records within the user table 40. Each note record within the table 48 may include, inter alia, a comment, description, history or other information pertaining to an item being auction via the auction facility 10, or to a user of the auction facility 10.
A number of other tables are also shown to be linked to the user table 40, namely a user past aliases table 50, a feedback table 52, a feedback details table 53, a bids table 54, an accounts table 56, an account balances table 58 and a transaction record table 60.
The category table 47 is shown to include a number of fields, each of which may be populated with relevant information for a category record within the category table 47. For each category record, a marketplace field 68 indicates a particular marketplace (e.g., automobiles, computers, collectibles, etc.) within the context of the network-based auction facility 10 to which the category pertains. An identifier field 72 contains a unique category identifier for each category record. A name field 74 similarly includes a name (which need not be unique) for the relevant category.
An IS_LEAF field 76, for each category record, is populated with a character that indicates whether the relevant category is a leaf category of a particular hierarchical category structure (e.g., an actual or virtual category structure). The level1-level4 fields 78-84 record the category identifiers of categories from which a particular category depends within the context of hierarchical category structure. For example, the level1 field 78 will record the category identifier for an immediate parent category, while the level2 field 80 will record the category identifier for a grandparent category.
An actual_category field 86 is, in one embodiment, only populated for a virtual category, and stores the category identifier of an actual (or real) category to which the relevant virtual category is linked.
Turning first to the hierarchy of actual categories 90, a parent (passenger vehicle) category includes a "Ford" child category, the "Ford" category being indicated as a child of the "passenger car" category by inclusion of the category identifier (e.g., 50) within the level1 field 78 of the record for the "Ford" category. The "Ford" category in turn is shown to include a "Taurus" sub-category and a "Model T" sub-category. It will be noted the "Taurus" and the "Model T" categories are indicated in the IS-LEAF field 76 as being leaf categories of the hierarchy of actual categories 90. It will furthermore be noted that, for each category within the hierarchy of actual categories 90, the actual_category field 86 contains a null value, as these categories are not linked to, and do not point to, further categories.
Turning now to the hierarchy of virtual categories 92, a parent "cars" category is defined to have a "Ford" child category, that in turn is defined to have a "Taurus" child category. It will be noted that the level1 field 78 of the "Ford" category includes an identifier pointing back to the parent "cars" category.
The "Taurus" category of the virtual categories 92 is also shown, within the actual_category field 86, to include the identifier of the "Taurus" category of the actual categories 90. In this way, the virtual "Taurus" category, identified by the category identifier "8001" is linked to, or points to, the actual "Taurus" category identified by the category identifier "8000". In this way, user navigation of the hierarchy of virtual categories 92, when resulting in the selection of the virtual "Taurus" category, can be utilized to identify the category identifier for an actual "Taurus" category, that can in turn be utilized to identify records within an item table 42.
Similarly, the hierarchy of virtual categories 94 is headed by a "vintage cars" category that includes a child "Ford" category and a grandchild "Model T" category. The "Model T" category is again linked, by an appropriate category identifier within the actual_category field 86, to the actual "Model T" category of the actual categories 90.
It will furthermore be noted that, in one embodiment, only real categories are indicated in the IS_LEAF field 76 as being leaf categories.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as mentioned above, data items may only be categorized under a hierarchy of actual categories 90, and not under a hierarchy of virtual categories. It is for this reason that only actual categories may be indicated as leaf categories.
While the hierarchies of virtual categories 92 and 94 are indicated as being distinct hierarchies, these hierarchies may in fact be sub-hierarchies of a larger hierarchy of virtual categories. Nonetheless, the present application contemplates that the category table 47 may define multiple hierarchies of virtual categories, and that multiple virtual categories may be linked to, or pointed to, a single actual category.
The method 110 commences at block 112 with the definition, for example by a database designer, of a hierarchy of "actual" categories 100 being described by a respective category records that each specify a category identifier.
At block 114, the database designer then defines at least one hierarchy and multiple hierarchies, of "virtual" categories 102 within the category table 47. In one embodiment, the virtual categories are not intended to be presented to a user for selection to categorize a data item, but are linked, in the manner described above, to actual categories.
At block 116, in an actual_category field 86 for each "leaf" virtual category, the database designer includes a pointer (or link) in the form of a category identifier to a "actual" leaf category.
The method 120 commences at block 122, with the presentation to a user of a list of top-level virtual categories. For example, the top-level categories may be the parent categories of the virtual categories 102 illustrated in
At block 124, user selection of a virtual category is detected. For example, by performing a "point-and-click" operation utilizing a cursor control device, a user may select the "cars" category of the virtual categories 140 shown in
At block 126, a list of next-level virtual category is presented, based on the virtual category selected at block 124.
At block 128, a user selection of a next-level virtual category is detected, in the same manner described above. For example, assuming user selection of a hypertext link 146 for the "Ford" category of the list 144 of categories shown in
At block 130, a leaf category, or leaf categories, of the virtual category selected at block 128 may, in one embodiment, be identified so as to facilitate presentation of all data items associated with that leaf category or categories. For example, all leaf categories that depend from the virtual "Ford" category selected at block 128 may be identified. Such leaf categories may include the virtual "Taurus" category or the virtual "Model T" category discussed above with reference to
Where the category selected at block 128 itself comprises a leaf category, it will be appreciated that such a category itself be identified as the leaf category at block 130.
At block 132, a mapping, or linking, operation is performed so as to map the relevant virtual leaf categories identified at block 130 to actual leaf categories. Specifically, as described above, this mapping operation may be performed utilizing a category identifier included within the actual_category field 86 of each relevant virtual category.
Having then identified one or more actual leaf categories corresponding to the virtual leaf categories, at block 134, data items categorized as being attributed to the identified real leaf categories are identified and presented in a user interface.
Returning to
As described above, in one embodiment, a user (e.g., a seller) utilizing the network-based auction facility 10 or an administrator classifying data items for presentation via a web site, may be presented with the option of only classifying data items within the context of a hierarchy of actual (and not virtual) categories.
It should thus be noted that, in the exemplary embodiment, data items are classified according to a selected leaf category. Such leaf categories may be viewed as a category path selected within the context of a hierarchy of categories. For example, the full categorization of a data item may be viewed as the "passenger vehicle/Ford/Taurus" categorization.
The methodologies described above may, it will be appreciated, be performed by software modules residing and executing on a wide variety of machines. In one embodiment, the mapping of the virtual leaf categories to actual leaf categories may be performed by a "listings produce" module or object that issues a series of SQL statements against the database 23. The "listings produce" object may reside, for example, on a CGI server 18 or be part of the database engine server 22.
The computer system 300 includes a processor 302, a main memory 304 and a static memory 306, which communicate with each other via a bus 308. The computer system 300 may further include a video display unit 310 (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT)). The computer system 300 also includes an alpha-numeric input device 312 (e.g. a keyboard), a cursor control device 314 (e.g. a mouse), a disk drive unit 316, a signal generation device 320 (e.g. a speaker) and a network interface device 322
The disk drive unit 316 includes a machine-readable medium 324 on which is stored a set of instructions (i.e., software) 326 embodying any one, or all, of the methodologies described above. The software 326 is also shown to reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 304 and/or within the processor 302. The software 326 may further be transmitted or received via the network interface device 322. For the purposes of this specification, the term "machine-readable medium" shall be taken to include any medium that is capable of storing or encoding a sequence of instructions for execution by the machine and that cause the machine to perform any one of the methodologies of the present invention. The term "machine-readable medium" shall accordingly be taken to included, but not be limited to, solid-state memories, optical and magnetic disks, and carrier wave signals.
Thus, a method and system for categorizing items in both actual and virtual categories have been described. Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

Mark Warburton stays cool after Rangers take a hit
Rangers manager Mark Warburton insists no "major surgery" is needed at Rangers following the loss of their 100 per cent record against St Johnstone.
There was added interest in the Scottish League Cup third-round tie at Ibrox on Tuesday night after the Light Blues had won their first 11 games under the Englishman since he took over in the summer to help them sit atop the Ladbrokes Championship.
The home side found themselves 3-0 down early in the second half and although right-back James Tavernier pulled a goal back the visitors saw out the rest of the game to clinch a quarter-final place.
Ahead of the trip to Morton tomorrow, the former Brentford boss claimed to be "amazed" at some of the comments made in the wake of the defeat as he stood by his squad and expansive playing style. Warburton said: "On Tuesday we made two or three mistakes and got punished, simple as that. I keep reading it could have been five or six at half-time. I am watching a different game to that.
"They should have scored a third before half-time, absolutely, but they had six shots and I believe we had 64 per cent possession.
"What do we do, do we change the whole way we play because of one result?
"I am amazed at some of the comments I read about changing it after we won 11 out of 11."

WHO'S SILLY NOW? In N.Y., John Paul Newport wrote this time of year until recently was "known as golf's silly season," but the world's top players now "barnstorm the globe picking up humongous checks, from both prize purses and appearance fees, in unlikely places like Turkey, China and the United Arab Emirates." Several "silly season staples remain," but now these "made-for-TV filler events are increasingly overshadowed by the never-ending roster of global mega-events." The "biggest change to silly seasons is that they are no longer about pro golfers kicking back at the end of the year and grabbing a little extra spending money." Pro golf is "becoming a big-deal global sports juggernaut" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 11/9).
