School Notes:
Immaculate Heart of Mary School was started in 1976 in response to
the needs of families who identified a crisis in Catholic
education. At IHM traditional education, based on the
Catholic Faith, is taught at all levels, putting into perspective
Gods creation and the eternal responsibilities and goals of man,
with no apologies.The Town of Harvard School Board gave the school
approbation on November 7, 1983, commending the institution on its
comprehensive program. As time went on student enrollment grew and
a larger building was added on to the existing building, which was
also enlarged.At the present time a gym called "MacIsaac Hall" is
being built to finish the campus needs of this small school, where
grades one through twelve are taught in a small classroom settings,
in family-like atmosphere. The daily Latin Mass at our chapel
located across from the school, begins each day and supports the
spiritual needs of the student body. The curriculum is based on
traditional Catholic academics, emphasizing the importance of the
Holy Catholic Faith in all subjects.Adopting the Salesian pedagogy
based on Reason, Religion and Kindness for our discipline, IHM
provides a happy and wholesome learning environment for our
students.The grammar school is staffed and administered almost
entirely by Sisters, whereas the High School is staffed staffed by
the Brothers, lay teachers and a few Sisters. Other than Academics,
the High School boasts of an award winning Marching Band, with
accomplished musicians. It is also home of the "Eagles " Basketball
teams, both boys and girls. The boys also have a baseball
team.Graduates of Immaculate Heart of Mary School have gone on to
various walks of life in the professional fields, some becoming
doctors and nurses, engineers and teachers. Others have gone into
the trades and have become diesel mechanics, electricians, plumbers
and stone masons. Several have answered the call to religious life.
Some are married and are raising families and it is our
prayer that these and the future graduates of Immaculate Heart of
Mary School will serve to be the catalysts to bring others into the
Catholic Faith.

Yes it would... which would be a good debugging tool.
Printable View
Oh, that's right, you're supposed to mimic the students walking through the doors -- oops, my bad!
I was thinking of the for loop at the end to show the final doors that remain open, and that would be sufficient.
Do you want to show the status of the doors, as they change? Little text based display to represent the doors?
This is a little tricky, because you have to use the index of the doors array, in an entirely new manner (for you). Post up your code and let's see where you are at.
I don't need to show the doors as they change, just the end result. For example I would want to print: The doors that remain open are: 2,6,8,57. Something along those lines. I don't have much of a code to show because I am playing around with things to get to what I want. I realize this is nothing like what I need it to be, but this is what I am troubleshooting with to understand what is going on(by using the debugger tool).
Don't make fun of me because of how off I am please :/Code:#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
int i,s,d[100],n;
for (i=0;i<100;i++)
return (0);
It still looks like you're throwing code at the problem and hoping something will stick.
The first thing you need to do, even before opening and shutting various doors, is decide how you are going to represent the doors. How do you tell the difference between an open door and a closed one?
Actually you're not that far off at all... based on what you've posted, you mostly need to devise a way to make the door change, which you aren't doing yet... the loops are pretty close though.
I don't mean to lecture... but what is happening now is that analysis phase I discussed earlier, except you're doing it with live code... yes it can be done that way but it's not always the smartest way to do it since you can easily "code yourself into a corner". The bigger the job the more likely that becomes. (And yes, I've done it to myself moe than once.)
You're right, I am analyzing it with live code. I know realize that is a bad habit, but I have troubling doing it without being able to see what is happening.
As far as figuring out which doors are doing what I can't seem to get anywhere close to making it work. I was think that you could have some sort of system that says 0 for closed doors and 1 for open doors, at the end print all the doors with a 1. I can't figure out how to implement that though.
Ok, here's a hint... the door starts out closed... a student goes through and it's open... a student goes through and it closes... student open... student closed... see a pattern? What happens every second time? What is every second number?
#define Open 1
I agree, I thought it added to the clarity of the whole thing.
You need to swap your for loops. Put the studentNumbers on the outer for loop, and the door[] logic, inside the nested for loop. You don't need the third for loop, until you're ready to print the final status.
I would change your doors array size to 101, and set the value of each element of that array, to 0, instead of i. Start your for loops at 1, and stop at <= 100, instead of just < 100.
That will initialize all the doors starting to closed. (what I would call closed, anyway).
While it's undoubtedly true, a simple if() statement will handle that door open or door closed action.
you want s*n, but you need it as the index for the doors[].
That's the hardest thing about this problem, imo.
Ignore the comment about the third for loop. Your code threw me off a bit.
Your index for the doors array needs to be a multiple of studentNumber * a multiplier, in the inner for loop.
You can use just doors[studentNumber * n] = Open or 1 or Closed or 0.
Check out the pattern:
Student number is 3:
3 * 1 first door he visits -- n equals 1
3 * 2 second door he visits-n equals 2
3 * 3 third door he visits, etc.
3 * 4 fourth door he visits

In addition to the 73 million dogs and 90 million cats living in households here, some believe that the number of un-owned, free-roaming cats rivals that of the household cat population and 97.6% are intact. Given that a high percentage of household cats are sterilized, the birth of kittens added to the population of cats in general, and in Animal Shelters, is directly related to the feral and free-roaming cats." Definitions: "Feral Cat" is a term that describes existence and refers to unsocialized cats either born wild or that revert to the wild following abandonment for a period of time. These cats live outside without a residence or responsible owner. The acronym "TNR" means either Trap/Neuter/Return or Trap/Neuter/Release, a series of steps in a program to reduce the number of feral cats and kittens. In this program, feral & free-roaming cats are humanely trapped, neutered or spayed, vaccinated against rabies, and returned to their previous outdoor environment or to another location. Experts' Opinions The topic of feral cats is recognized nationally as a very emotional one with experts on both sides of this issue. Statistics Although accurate documentation does not exist to verify the estimated number of feral cats in Pinellas County, it is believed to be over 100,000. (See Attachment 2, PCVMA). There are no estimates for free-roaming cats in Pinellas County. Documentation does exist for the intake of cats by the County's three main Shelters: Pinellas County Animal Services, 2) SPCA of Tampa Bay and 3) the Humane Society of Pinellas. Documentation also exists for the number of complaints to shelters and requests for help or rescue of cats, the number of spays and neuters done for the public by those shelters and the number of cat licenses sold. Formation of Work Study Group In October 2008, the Pinellas County Board of Commissioners approved a Citizen's Working Study Group, hereinafter called the Group, to study the issues regarding the feral/ free-roaming cat population in Pinellas County and to come up with some solutions to help reduce the number of feral/free roaming cats. Elizabeth Warren, Assistant County Administrator was asked to assist this group and Barbara Snow, Executive Director, 4 Humane Society of Pinellas offered and was approved to serve as facilitator. Members from a wide variety of concerned groups of stakeholders were recruited and the work of this group continued through October 2009. PART II: MISSION The members of the Group reached consensus on the following Mission Statement: The Feral Cat & Free-Roaming Working Study Group of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners will: • study the problems relating to the impact of feral/free-roaming cats upon Pinellas County • gather information from concerned stakeholders who are impacted by the issue • provide a public forum for citizen input on the issue • make viable, consensus-based recommendations to the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. The Group was mindful of the following issues: • Animal Welfare • Best Practices • Budgetary Constraints • Enforcement • Environmental Issues • Health and Safety Issues • Social Issues Meetings The Group met for the first time on February 18, 2009. A Feral Cat Public Forum was held on AprillS, 2009 at the Pinellas County Extension to allow citizens of Pinellas County to express their thoughts and opinions on this topic. Speakers were asked to identify themselves and any affiliation they might have prior to speaking. Email regarding this issue was also solicited from the general pUblic. Part III: DELINIATION OF TASKS AND FINDINGS OF THE GROUP Delineation of Tasks The Group determined that they would work on the following tasl(s: 1) Develop a Mission Statement 2) Disclose each individual's background, experiences, thoughts & feelings about feral/free- roaming cats 3) Identify the problems associated with feral/free-roaming cats 4) Identify solutions to those problems and how to prevent them from reoccurring 5) Identify who would be responsible for implementing the selected solutions 5 6) Draft recommendations for the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners that would effectively and humanely reduce the feral & free-roaming cat population and prevent population growth Findings The Group researched Florida cities and counties similar in size to Pinellas County to determine if a feral/free-roaming cat program were in place, who was responsible for its implementation and if these feral/free-roaming cat programs were successful. Responses were mixed. Some programs were run by volunteer caregivers and supportive veterinarians; others were run by local, non-profit animal groups and municipal animal agencies. Some anticipated success; others said it was too early to tell. The Group found that it was not necessary to amend the Pinellas County Animal code that currently defines a cat as Felis cofus (domestic cat) as all cats have the same DNA and are treated as 'property' giving them protection within Florida State Law. 6 Part IV: RECOMMENDATIONS The Citizens' Working Group on Feral and Free-Roaming Cats presents the following Recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. Pinellas County. FL: 1. Approve the Groups pursuit of Feral.and Free-Roaming Cat Initiatives in Pinellas County, Florida that accomplishes the following: • Humanely reduces the current feral/ free-roaming cat population, • Prevents free-roaming cats from becoming feral, • Encourages and elevates the status of feral and free-roaming cats back to that of a companion/pet with a residence and responsible owner/family. 2. Promote an education campaign that emphaSizes the following points: necessity of early spay/neuter (by 5 months of age for kittens), benefits (to the cats, wildlife, and community) of Ileeping cats indoors, and the availability of low cost spay/neuter programs. 3. Provide input and advice to this campaign through existing resources (veterinary and media experts, county websites, flyers in utility bills, etc ... ) in accordance with any budgetary limits. 4. Continue to support and potentially expand the current spay/neuter programs of Animal Services (including the Animobile) directed towards low income citizens. Encourage humane organizations and local veterinarians to participate in similar programs and publicly recognize them for their contributions. The BOCC is also highly encouraged to explore the possibility of sharing county resources such as the Animobile with humane organizations conducting such programs. 5. Continue to support the current animal control code that requires owners to vaccinate, license, and prevent their cats from roaming free. This code also discourages leaving food or garbage outside where it attracts a variety of animals and encourages cats to free- roam and gravitate toward a feral existence. 6. Encourage private humane organizations to interact with citizens involved in TNR programs in order to work towards common goals that are in the best interest of the BOCC and citizens of Pinellas County. (Animal Services will not actively pursue anyone participating in the Group's cat initiatives; however, it will respond to any and all nuisance or related calls.) Our Group, on your behalf, has identified these goals as ones that humanely reduces the total number of free-roaming and feral cats in the County, encourage responsible ownership of all cats, minimize nuisance complaints attributed to free roaming cats, protect the health and safety of our citizens, protect the welfare of all cats as domestic and companion animals and give protection to our wildlife and encourage a peaceful co-existence between domestic cats and wildlife and among the residents of Pinellas County. 7 Part V: SUMMARY In conclusion, this Citizens' Working Group on Feral and Free-Roaming Cats has enjoyed this opportunity to conduct research, engage in discussion, elicit expert and non-expert opinions, and to provide this information along with our recommendations to the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. We have served as volunteers on this endeavor and will continue to serve, if needed to continue a cooperative and collaborative product that encourages its success in the short term and into the long term future.

Management may include but is not limited to enactment & enforcement of cat related laws, education, public/private partnerships for cat care & control, targeted spay / neuter programs and properly regulated cat caretaker programs. BASIS FOR POLICY The basis of the policy is to protect the public and cats living in the wild so as to minimize the potential for a rabies outbreak. A feral cat is defined as a cat that has been born in the wild or forsaken by the original owner for an extended period of time. A stray cat is one that is at large or escaped from an owner. An owned cat has been claimed by a person who provides the essentials including food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS In order to protect feral, stray and owned cats, all local or state governments should pass laws requiring the vaccination and license of all cats in their community. The law should also require that all owned cats be identified with a traceable license, microchip, or tattoo so as to identify them from feral cats. NACA recognizes that in some circumstances, alternative management programs, including Trap Neuter Vaccinate & Release (TNVR) programs may be effective, and recommends that each agency assess the individual need with their community and respond accordingly. NACA advocates for effective public education related to cats, active spaying & neutering initiatives for cats and responsible ownership for all cats 10 Attachment 2 PINELLAS COUNTY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION STATEMENT PN FREE-ROAMING AND FERAL CATS Free-roaming Abandoned and Feral Cats - PCVMA Statement 2009 The PCVMA encourages and supports actions to eliminate the problem offree-roaming abandoned and feral cats, As a result of irresponsible societal attitudes, an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 of these cats exist in Pinellas County, Unfortunately, most of these cats will suffer premature mortality from disease, starvation, or trauma, Their suffering is of sufficient magnitude that it constitutes a national tragedy of epidemic proportions These free-roaming abandoned and feral cats also represent a significant factor in the mortality of birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, This population of cats also poses a Zoonotic disease risk for the public. • Encouragement of State and Local Ordinances • The PCVMA strongly supports reducing the number of unowned free-roaming abandoned and feral cats through humane capture (with placement in homes where appropriate) by the Tampa Bay SPCA, Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Pinellas County Animal Control, and other local humane organizations. All free-roaming abandoned and feral cats that are not in managed colonies should be removed from their environment and euthanized or placed in well managed sanctuaries if not adoptable, The Pinellas County City Council should adopt and enforce ordinances that: o Prohibit the sale or adoption of intact cats by humane organizations and animal control agencies. o Require licenSing, rabies vaccination, and permanent animal identification through microchipping of all cats. o Require that owned cats be kept indoors, in an outdoor enclosure, or on a leash o Prohibit public feeding of intact free-roaming abandoned and feral cats. o Prevent establishment of managed cat colonies in wildlife-sensitive ecosystems. o Encourage education and affordable spay and neuter programs. • Managed Cat Colonies The PCVMA neither endorses nor opposes appropriately managed cat colony programs. o An insignificant percentage of the total number of unowned free-roaming and feral cats are being managed by humane organizations. Consequently, the reduction in the total number of free-roaming cats these programs will effect is insignificant. o Managed colonies should be considered an interim solution to the problem of feral, free-roaming cats-the first step toward reducing the size of the colony through attrition. 11 o The PCVMA opposes placement of managed cat colonies on public lands or in any area that could threaten at-risk wildlife or in areas that may pose a zoonotic risk to the public o Should managed cat colonies be established, natural or artificial restrictive barriers should be employed to protect both cats and native wildlife. o If sanctuaries for feral cats exist or are to be built, the PCVMA encourages properly designed and maintained facilities, High quality care is imperative and overcrowding must be avoided, • Education The PCVMA strongly believes that education to prevent cat abandonment should be the cornerstone of efforts to reduce feral cat numbers in Pinellas County. Education should focus on reducing abandonment of domestic cats, elimination of public feeding of unowned and free- roaming feral cats, responsible pet ownership, and spaying and neutering of all cats, 12

Supply Chain Security:
Examinations of High-Risk Cargo at Foreign Seaports Have Increased, but Improved Data Collection and Performance Measures Are Needed
GAO-08-187: Published: Jan 25, 2008. Publicly Released: Jan 25, 2008.

Office of Public Affairs

Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Container Security Initiative (CSI) aims to identify and examine high-risk U.S.-bound cargo at foreign seaports. GAO reported in 2003 and 2005 that CSI helped to enhance homeland security, and recommended actions to strengthen the program. This report updates information and assesses how CBP has (1) contributed to strategic planning for supply chain security, (2) strengthened CSI operations, and (3) evaluated CSI operations. To address these issues, GAO interviewed CBP officials and reviewed CSI evaluations and performance measures. GAO also visited selected U.S. and CSI seaports, and met with U.S. and foreign government officials.
By collaborating on the development of the Department of Homeland Security's Strategy to Enhance International Supply Chain Security, and by revising the CSI strategic plan as GAO recommended, CBP has contributed to the overall U.S. strategic planning efforts related to enhancing the security for the overseas supply chain. Also, CBP reached its targets of operating CSI in 58 foreign seaports, and thereby having 86 percent of all U.S.-bound cargo containers pass through CSI seaports in fiscal year 2007--representing a steady increase in these measures of CSI performance. To strengthen CSI operations, CBP has sought to address human capital challenges and previous GAO recommendations by increasing CSI staffing levels closer to those called for in its staffing model and revising its human capital plan. However, challenges remain because CBP continues to rely, in part, on a temporary workforce; has not determined how to optimize its staffing resources; and reports difficulties in identifying sufficient numbers of qualified staff. In addition, CBP has enhanced relationships with host governments participating in CSI. However, hurdles to cooperation remain at some seaports, such as restrictions on CSI teams witnessing examinations. CBP improved its evaluation of CSI team performance at seaports, but limitations remain in the evaluation process that affect the accuracy and completeness of data collected. CBP has not set minimum technical criteria for equipment or systematically collected information on the equipment, people, and processes involved in CSI host government examinations of high-risk, U.S-bound container cargo. Also, CBP has not developed general guidelines to use in assessing the reliability of these examinations. Thus, CBP potentially lacks information to ensure that host government examinations can detect and identify weapons of mass destruction, which is important because containers are typically not reexamined in the United States if already examined at a CSI seaport. CBP refined overall CSI performance measures, but has not fully developed performance measures and annual targets for core CSI functions, such as the examination of high-risk containers before they are placed on vessels bound for the United States. These weaknesses in CBP's data collection and performance measures potentially limit the information available on overall CSI effectiveness.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: We found that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was not consistently collecting all available data to aid in its analysis of Container Security Initiative (CSI) team performance and we identified instances in which CBP did not reconcile contradictory information it had collected. As a result, we recommended steps to strengthen CBP's process for evaluating CSI teams at overseas ports. In response to our recommendation, CBP has enhanced its standardized Container Security Initiative Team Evaluation (CSITE) tool, which captures evaluation data through over 300 closed-ended questions. According to CBP, the tool's reporting and grading capabilities provide evaluators with feedback and analysis that identify any deficiencies, and furthermore the reporting functions enable CSI Division management to conduct initiative-wide analysis to identify systematic findings. Additionally, the CSITE tool includes questions that address whether recommendations were made in a prior evaluation report and whether the recommendations have been implemented. The enhancements to the CSITE tool prompt the user to verify that each question is answered prior to answering subsequent questions. This enhancement ensures that the CSITE tool can be used as a way to monitor the completion of recommendations made in previous evaluations. These measures are consistent with the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure that CBP has the information needed to assess its achievement of CSI program goals to help enhance supply chain security--while at the same time balancing security concerns with the need to facilitate the free flow of commerce--the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Commissioner of U. S. Customs and Border Protection to strengthen CBP's process for evaluating CSI teams at overseas ports by (a) systematically capturing and maintaining all relevant evaluation data and documentation so that it can be used by CBP management to guide operating decisions, monitor program performance, and inform resource allocation decisions; (b) ensuring that CSI evaluation teams follow established evaluation procedures; and (c) monitoring the completion, within established time frames, of recommendations made in previous evaluations.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: We found that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not have a sound basis for determining the reliability of the examination systems used at Container Security Initiative (CSI) seaports. As a result, we recommended that CBP improve the information gathered about the host governments' examination systems. In response to our recommendation, CBP enhanced its Container Security Initiative Team Evaluation (CSITE) tool, which includes questions that allow evaluators to note any concerns about examinations that need to be resolved. According to CBP officials, CBP also uses several methods to ensure that examinations of high-risk U.S.-bound cargo containers can reliably detect and identify potential weapons of mass destruction, including (1) conducting an initial assessment at a foreign port prior to establishing CSI operations at that port, (2) maintaining working relationships between CBP officers and host government customs officials/targeters, (3) reviewing information on inspection equipment (and their capabilities) used at the CSI ports, and (4) gathering information through the CSITE evaluations. According to CBP officials, all but four or five pieces of equipment used overseas are also equipment that CBP purchases for domestic scanning purposes; for equipment that is not used domestically, CBP has information on the specifications for that equipment. Additionally, CBP provided GAO with a copy of a database it maintains of the equipment used at CSI ports and the equipments' specifications to ensure that standards are met. These measures are consistent with the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure that CBP has the information needed to assess its achievement of CSI program goals to help enhance supply chain security--while at the same time balancing security concerns with the need to facilitate the free flow of commerce--the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Commissioner of U. S. Customs and Border Protection to, in collaboration with host government officials, improve the information gathered about the host governments' examination systems--which includes people, processes, and equipment--at each CSI port by (a) establishing general guidelines and technical criteria regarding the minimal capability and operating procedures for an examination system that can provide CBP with a basis for determining the reliability of examinations and related CSI activities; (b) systematically collecting data for that purpose; and (c) analyzing the data against the guidelines and technical criteria to determine what, if any, mitigating actions or incentives CBP should take to help ensure the desired level of security.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: We found that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had refined overall Container Security Initiative (CSI) performance measures, but had not fully developed performance measures and annual targets for core CSI functions, which could potentially limit the information available on overall CSI effectiveness. As a result, we recommended that CBP develop performance measures and targets for core CSI program functions. As of October 2010, CBP had established a performance measure, the percentage of requested examinations conducted, for which CBP established annual performance targets. According to CBP's Fiscal Year 2009 Performance and Accountability Report, this measure is an indication of the extent to which potential higher-risk cargo is satisfactorily inspected before it leaves the foreign port of origin. This annual performance report tracks this measure across fiscal years 2008 and 2009. The tracking of this performance measure is consistent with the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure that CBP has the information needed to assess its achievement of CSI program goals to help enhance supply chain security--while at the same time balancing security concerns with the need to facilitate the free flow of commerce--the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Commissioner of U. S. Customs and Border Protection to enhance CSI performance measures to better assess CSI performance overall by (a) developing measures for all core CSI program functions designed to have a deterrent effect, (b) establishing annual performance targets--based on explicit assumptions--for all performance measures, and (c) revising how performance measures are calculated to take into account CSI program growth.

The whole site is still kinda buggy.
I can't upload images properly, I hope the site returns to its normal state soon.
Deleting spam threads in AV. I would try to wiki edit or organize images, but the site lags. I hate the epic fail pop up button. I figured out how to avoid it.
If that does Epic Fail, change one of your images' captions. Then, the save button pops up again. You can click save. If it says Epic Fail again, try captioning another image. I had Epic Fail 4 times in a row.
Oh man, Anime Vice why are you killing me?
Don't listen to them. You got good folks on Comic Vine and Anime Vice. Those sites have lax rules, so users are in a mode of survival of the fittest. You can't show weakness. If you run away from an argument or don't cuss back, you're seen weak. In here, we have respect for one another. The nature of the community depends on the users, the mods/admins, and its purpose.

Confession: I find RV floor plans strangely fascinating.
Okay, "fascinating" may be a stretch. I mean, I don't sit around all day dreaming about floor plans. But it's quite remarkable how many different combinations manufacturers create. I've likened RV floor plans to Mexican food entrees — the chef always starts with the SAME BASIC INGREDIENTS (meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, etc.) and somehow they concoct 347 different menu items. In truth, we're all getting some version of a TACO, but they each seem so gloriously unique.
The latest and greatest trend in AIRSTREAM floor plans is the FRONT BEDROOM layout. For you non-Airstreamers, this means that the bedroom is located at the fore of the trailer — it's closest to the tow vehicle. The basic idea is that since you BACK into most campsites, the most desirable view of nature is in the back. The front bedroom, in theory, allows you to enjoy that natural view all day long from your living room. That's the advantage.
What do I think about this floor plan? WHO CARES what I think? I'm married. What MATTERS is what my WIFE thinks. Hence, this video (which is pretty much a simple vlog like granny used to make — sorry, film critics, this ain't Citizen Kane ;-)).
Look, I'm a MAN — toss me a shiny gadget and a cold beer, and I'll be happy in ANY floor plan.
But my wife has definite opinions on the topic — as you'll see in the video.
While I enjoy browsing different RV floor plans, Kristy has an intuitive sense of "what works," and how livable the plan will be on a daily basis.
These different floor plans all have their strengths and weaknesses. There's not really a clear cut "better."
After all, sales of the front bedroom units have been booming. People LOVE their front bedroom Airstreams, so maybe we'll hear some reasons WHY.
Ultimately, this is a personal preference issue, and there's no right or wrong — what matters is what works for YOU.
So, what about you? If you have an OPINION on the contentious FRONT VS. REAR BEDROOM issue, please chime in…

Music is what I breathe every day of my life! I grew up in Oklahoma in an average-sized city. Starting in 1st grade I pursued taking private piano lessons. Unlike most kids, I continued classical piano study throughout middle school and high school. In 2nd grade, the year after starting piano lessons, I pursued taking private trumpet lessons with the trumpet professor at the university in my city. Around age 9 I started private drum-set lessons, and age 14 picked up the acoustic guitar later followed by electric guitar. I just wanted to play ALL the instruments. After my 2nd year of high school, I decided to pursue independent study with an online accredited school, mainly for the reason of greater personal music study through the university. My trumpet professor asked if I'd like to ...

Maokai is super fun in dominion !! i don t get many kills but i rack up the assist So far , im building him pretty tanky . RoA , boots (based on what i need) than i go either armor or MR or both . As rune , i use magic pen , armor yellow and cdr/lvl blue . How you guys use him ?
As firewood for Shyvana :)
you suck don t you dare hurt my precious maokai lol
Protective of your wood? :p
As a ghost when I don't have a carry to ult xD
I go 9/21/0 masteries, and tanky runes, with the exception of two MS quints and mpen marks. In game, I build Tanky AP and am usually bottom lane. Very few champions give me any trouble (including Yorick), but some can be quite the challenge (Soraka, Mordekaiser, Graves). By the endgame, it's usually best if someone switches with me, because in most games I become nigh unkillable and Maokai's teamfight presence is invaluable. Even if they don't, I take ghost for a reason. There are times when I can ghost to top, destroy a teamfight, and recall to my point before my opponent at bot has started to channel. I love this tree. (And I have the charred skin, so I don't particularly mind being on fire. :P)
Honestly I don't understand why Moakai is not more popular. Great CC, great damage, great utility. Can both hold and assault points like a boss. Has a built in mini-claivorance. And I am fairly certain he can counter or stalemate some of the OP bot champs (Yorrick and AD Malzahar seem like top of the list).
Lawl. I may start practicing with Maokai
if you're top and you're team has a good start you are almost guaranteed to win as mao gets stronger and stronger as the game goes on, build pretty much the same as others 9/21/0 with mpen marks/armor yellows/mres blues with some cdr/lvls. he can hold a point really well to the point he can just stand and tank 3 enemy's on his own as the game goes on. i try to play him top or if i do go bot i usually swap out to top as the game goes on if i can but he can do well at both points. I'm surprised more people dont play him, even during free week i haven't seen that much of him.

We're ready, zombie-plan in hand for the upcoming apocalypse -- sponsored by Valve. While we're confident our survival guide is top-notch we wouldn't mind a test run before the actual catastrophic event takes place, luckily Doug Lombardi confirmed a Left 4 Dead demo is headed our way soon.
Speaking with IGN, Lombardi -- VP of Marketing at Valve -- confirmed an upcoming demo of Left 4 Dead will drop prior to the game hitting store shelves and will take place, "from the front of the Survivor's first campaign (including the opening movie)." The two map (or level) demo showcases the first two missions of the game where four survivors attempt to work their way to the roof of Mercy Hospital for extraction.
While a specific date for the demo has not been confirmed, Lombardi did tell IGN that gamers should expect the demo to land on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Steam early in the month of November. Left 4 Dead hits stores on November 17.
[Thanks, Patrick]

'Mad Money Lightning Round': Let Mosaic Sink Some More
To see the full "Mad Money" Recap, please
Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Monday evening:
Mosaic (MOS - Get Report): "Let's wait until the shorts knock this one down a little more, then we'll start pulling the trigger."
Sprint Nextel (S): "There is very little upside to Sprint. I do not like Sprint. This is a Verizon (VZ - Get Report) and AT&T (T - Get Report) show." Systemax (SYX - Get Report): "I've been hurting people in tech recently, I'm gonna have to say 'don't buy.' " Eastman Kodak (EK): "They have a great printing business. I am sticking with Kodak. " Korea Electric Power (KEP - Get Report): "I don't want you to sell this; I'd rather you be buying it. This stock could go up seven to eight points, I want you to keep it. " Campbell Soup (CPB - Get Report): "Very hard to recommend this one. They're a chronic under-performer. I'd rather see you in General Mills (GIS - Get Report) or Kellogg (K - Get Report)" Darling International (DAR - Get Report): "Their CEO tells a good story, I want to stick with him, he's money in the bank!" Raser Technologies (RZ): "Nah, I can't recommend that one, it's too risky." Lindsay Corporation (LNN - Get Report): "They had a monster quarter. I want you to stick with that one." Visa (V - Get Report): "I think Mastercard (MA - Get Report) is cheaper and the better deal here. I think you should wait for a pullback and buy some MasterCard." NuStar Energy (NS - Get Report): "I've been working on this one; they yield fabulously. I want to back up the truck on this one, I believe in them." Motorola (MOT): "Here's my problem, I want to tell you to sell this one, but Carl Icahn is in there. I am withholding judgment for right now." Borders Group (BGP): "Tough stock, we've been negative on it. I've been concerned about their balance sheet. I don't like the book business." *For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock. Want more Cramer?

Fargo Woman to Give Letters in Lieu of Candy to Obese Trick-Or-Treaters
This year, some children in Fargo, North Dakota may get a bigger trick than treat when hitting the streets for trick-or-treating.
