After visiting the National Retail Hardware Show in Las Vegas to see how vendors are adapting to the changes in technology and the marketplace, we will briefly share this recent experience as well as announce another Gutenberg-driven website that recently went live.
Thanks for reading,
The SP Crew
Sea-Dog Website
Recently we had the opportunity to develop Sea-Dog Line's new website. This National Marine Hardware manufacturer has been managing its product content with Gutenberg, but this phase of development focused on updating the functionality and search-ability of their online product content.

QR Codes, Minilogs, and Adapting Content
SP's experience at the National Retail Hardware Show
Several of our clients suggested that SP attend this annual trade show which includes several thousand exhibitors marketing their products and services to both independent and big box retailers. This industry generates billions of dollars each year and typically struggles with content and how to publish it. We thought it would be a good opportunity for us to learn and hopefully discover how this industry is adapting to a changing customer, who is getting their product information from a variety of technologies. Our top three discoveries include the adoption of QR Codes, expanded use of Minilogs and Product Sheets, and adapting to a changing content environment.
Last Century Icon Fading into the Past
The last office typewriter manufacturer has finally closed its doors after the markets in India moved to the PC. Godrej & Boyce began in the 1950's and provided sturdy machines that were available in multiple languages. Even though they stopped building typewriters in 2009, the last of their stock just sold out. A company in New Jersey still manufactures the portable typewriter, mostly for prisons, and may be the last manufacturer. For those of us that were introduced to a keyboard via the typewriter, we say thank you for QWERTY and say farewell.
May 20th is Bike to Work Day.

The Rules of the Conversation
Scenario #1: You are in a conversation at a party, maybe with one or two other people, and someone comes up, interrupts, and starts talking about something completely different. They typically end up controlling the conversation and the original groups quickly excuses themselves to leave and find new conversations.
Scenario #2: You are at a networking event, maybe for a chamber of commerce or a conference. You are in a group of people discussing industry "stuff". Suddenly, a new person joins the group, inserts themselves into the conversation, and talks about their business and why everyone should work with them. Amazingly, they are selling themselves and their business when no one asked anything about it. (Again, people walk away.)
Scenario #3: Telemarketing Calls.
How do these three instances relate? I'm sure many have been in these situations and can identify with at least one or two situations. They all focus on someone interrupting the flow of a conversation and not "playing by the rules."
I like to attend networking events, they are fun for me and I especially like the local chamber of commerce events, as I have made many friends over the years. They are well worth the time, as I learn about local businesses and the people behind them. Ultimately, the goal of any social networking group is to refer business to each other because we like them and trust them. It's a significantly strong network.
However, I have also been in networking groups that force the relationships, simply because a member provides the service. Those don't typically last long. The best networking groups are those that focus on the long term relationships and building those "like and trust" ideals.
Much like those networking situations above, the internet tends to devolve people into conversation interrupters. I am not really sure when it became cool to drop a link into someone else's blog. Link exchange requests have always been suspect, in my opinion, as I have no knowledge of this person, their site, or even their business. Why would I offer a link to a site where I have no knowledge of the content or the purpose?
It seems as though the entire principle of interrupting conversations has taken on a whole new light.
First, the obvious comment spam (which didn't even pass the spam block):
Then, the insideous link dropper, interrupting the conversation to talk about himself:
This is just terrible grammar, the depth of which is superseded only by the arrogance of the link. When the commenter states, "SEO Article" he is attempting to make it look like it is MY article he is referring to, when the hyperlink obviously shows that it is HIS own article that he is complimenting. Funny enough, when I followed the link to his site, it does everything that I preach against; keyword stuffing, repetitive usage, non-contextual positioning. Bottom line – it's nowhere I want to send my visitors.
The questions in my mind when I see a link in a comment are:
- Who are you?
- What is the purpose of the link?
- Do you contribute to the conversation?
To me, this is worse than spam. It's SEO's who know enough to work things to their advantage, and it looks like crap. No wonder SEO is getting a bad reputation.
Now, I'm not totally against link-dropping in comments. There have been times that I've allowed them to go through. Here is one from the Accessibility Blog that I allowed:
The author of this comment contributed actual content to the conversation. When they link to a resource that everyone can use, and it is on context with the conversation, so it was helpful to everybody. At that point, I didn't mind the link to an article on their site – they contributed and marked it as such.
As Nigel Tufnell observed, "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
So, here are my rules for conversation . . .
- Have something to say that contributes to the conversation.
- Don't be forward in linking to your own stuff. Build a reputation first.
- Don't "trick" the author into getting a link. Link text appropriately.
- Most visitors don't read blogs to see other people's comments – it's the author's blog, not yours.
- Ask Yourself – Would you do or say the same thing in an offline conversation among a group of people?
and finally,
Do you have rules for allowing comments on your blog? Are they more or less strict?

Great post…it's true that you can definitely see right away whether the comment is there because that person wants to comment on your post or whether they're just commenting for the link or not.
Those programming the blog comment bots are getting more sophisticated, but they're still a bot–they generally don't have intelligence and thus they just make a comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual post.
In the case above, though, the "SEO" blog spammer might have narrowed down the general topic of SEO blogs and posted the same thing or something similar to a lot of blogs–it might still be a bot.
Have you tried to actually search for that comment in quotes to see how many other people have been spammed with that same "comment"? At this point I'm not sure if it's actually a bot or not, as there's only five results for "Really great SEO Article and very helpful." in Google right now.
Bob Selden
Thanks Matt. Great article. I am a real amateur when it comse to Blogs and SEO, in fact I am in the people business (an organisational psychologist), so I can readilly relate to your "conversation analogy". I rarely reply to articles or blogs, but this one hit a nerve with me. I submit a lot of articles to various websites and am really annoyed when they put advertising hyperlinks into my artîcles in the guise of a knowledge or comment link. One of my favourite business management sites (which shall remain annonymous) only started up 12 months ago and quickly developed a great reputation. Unfortunately, they have just started the hyperlink practise, so I will no longer be using them or recommending them to any one else.
Thanks once again for your article, Bob Selden.

I'm sure Mike will make another post once both polls are out, but the AP poll is already up at ESPN, along with a story summing up the changes.
Georgia moved up to No. 6 after its 44-41 victory against LSU, which slipped four spots to 10th.
So even though LSU dropped to 10th after losing, the team that beat them is now in front of us, even though they have a loss. Seems we really are going to need SEC teams to get 2 losses instead of just 1 to get out of our way this year.

I made a documentary about Portland basketball for Grantland... specifically the rivalry between Portland and Seattle.
And the informal summer league games played between the best players in the city.
We shot in July and August capturing the games home and away of this 'city of origin' series.
I've always felt that Northwest basketball didn't get the attention and respect it deserves on the national stage. I hope this mini-doc spreads the word of just how good basketball is in the NorthFresh.
(Though I think that Portland basketball deserves its own full documentary....one day!)
check it out!
hope you enjoy.

By PAUL HINES
---- — BLUFORD – Webber's baseball team had a chance to send Friday's matchup with Gallatin County into extra innings.
The Trojans entered their final at-bat down 5-4 but came up short.
"It was a good matchup," Webber coach Sam Root said. "I feel like two of the best 1A teams in southern Illinois."
Gallatin County pushed across what would be the winning run in the sixth inning. Marcus Wargel opened the inning with a single off Webber reliever Logan Ganieany. He stole second and scored on a double to the left-center field gap off the bat of Wes McGuire. The score gave Gallatin County a 5-4 lead.
"When you play some of the best teams, we have to be cleaner defensively," Root said. "One or two plays are going to get you. We have to much cleaner defensively."
Webber had a chance in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game. Levi Aydt knocked a two-out single and moved into scoring position when the Gallatin outfielder mishandled the ball. Austin Gowler stood at the plate looking for a game-tying single but fanned to end the game.
Gowler tied the game at four in the fifth inning with a single and drew a bases loaded walk to put the Trojans on the scoreboard in the opening inning. He finished with a hit, walk and two RBI.
"We had a couple opportunities, and we saw good pitching today," Root said.
Both starting pitchers struggled with their control in the early going as the teams traded a trio of runs in the opening inning.
Webber starter Jordan Wheeler walked a pair of batters in the top of the first, and Gallatin pushed across three runs to jump out to an early lead.
The Trojans responded in the bottom of the first with a patient approach. The Trojans coaxed four walks against Gallatin starter Zach McGuire. Three came with the bases loaded, allowing Webber to tie the game.
Wheeler pitched four innings and had six strikeouts in the game. He finished with five walks. Logan Ganieany and Chris Bush also saw time on the mound for the Trojans.
"That's one of the very best lineups we're going see, even if we make a big run in the postseason, it's one of the best lineups we'll see," Root said.
Webber played the game without Rend Lake College signee Ty Henderson because of injury.
Webber dropped to 18-7 overall this season. Gallatin County improved to 18-3 this year.

A northwest Indiana woman's gardening project ended almost as soon as it began Tuesday morning when she found human remains in her yard.
As she overturned soil in her back yard at 1300 DeKalb Place in Gary, she uncovered a rug. Inside the rug, she saw a hand and other skeletal remains, the Post-Tribune is reporting.
Gary police Cpl. Michael George and Patrolman Greg Smith arrived and summoned supervisors, who called for detectives and the Lake County Coroner's office.
Police said the resident had lived at the address, in the east side Aetna neighborhood for less than three years.
Investigators didn't say if they could determine whether the remains are from a man or woman.
Anyone with information should call police at (219) 881-7477.

I recently picked up a CE/FRN Native as my EDC knife, and thus far it has been the best knife I have ever owned! Even had 6 spyderco's before this, and it is still the most natural to open and close, the most comfortable to hold and use, and most practical EDC I've ever used.
There was the great debate in choosing FRN over SS, though: Stainless has the weight, balance, and durability I like in a folder, but lacks the surface texture found on the FRN which is really helpful in maintaining one's grip on the knife, and the black color is much more low profile for pocket carry (i.e. not scare customers/other people).
There is only one way I can think of getting the best of both worlds: A Native done in G-10. It's a knife that everybody [that's ever held one] loves done in one of the most durable and grippable handle materials Spyderco uses!!! I've seen G-10 variations done in the Police model, Harpy, and a bunch of other popular blades, why not the Native??

It's a tight economy and the media forecast for Huntington and Long Island in 2012 calls for even more belt tightening.
That was a recurring theme as media elite and business power brokers gathered at the media breakfast Wednesday to ponder where the region is headed.
A full house at the in Melville listened in as Newsday's Joye Brown moderated a panel of local media, which included reporters from the Associated Press, NBC, FiOS1, The Long Islander and Patch.
"It's a unique opportunity to bring this diverse press corps – from TV to print and radio – to give their perspectives on the major issues that are affecting the town and Long Island," Chamber Chairman Robert Bontempi said. "This gives you depth behind the headlines."
One topic sure to generate headlines in the coming months is the state-mandated tax cap and its impact on budgets in and school districts.
"They've rolled out a lot of layoffs already and huge cutbacks in schools," Patch Associate Regional Editor observed. "You almost don't know it unless your kid is involved. Then suddenly you have to pay more to be in marching band and you're out selling cookies."
If the conversation on stage cast economic gloom, the breakfast also allowed local merchants to network and learn how to pitch stories to news organizations.
Long Island Business News reporter David Winzelberg struck a positive tone when he said Huntington is pro development and business friendly compared to elsewhere on the Island.
"It's nice to hear their perspectives, what they are looking for," said Huntington Town Councilwoman , who listened intently from the audience.
Berland offered her own storyline for 2012: "It's the economy and bringing funding back to the arts and not for profits. That's most important, at least for me. I want to make sure all the agencies in the Town of Huntington are taken care of and provide the services for the people who need them the most."

Customer Reviews
Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by golfer1 very nice product I'm new to golfing and wanted an inexpensive set of clubs. I went out a couple of times, since getting these clubs, and they are very nice. Perfect for a beginner. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike Just what we needed! I bought this set of clubs for my 13 yr old son. I didn't want to spend over a $100 in case he decided he didn't like golf. Excellent product, meets all our needs and I got them on clearance, Original cost, $129.99, on sale for $94.97, on clearance for $60! Plus free shipping. Excellent beginner set. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gramps77 Nice starter set The set looks very nice and should due the job for my grandson who has just started taking up the sport. The clubs appear to never have been used, however the box had been previously opened as there were double courses of packing tape on the box and the clubs were missing some of the original packing covers. I know this set was purchased on clearance, however there was no mention of them being used or previously purchased. That was the only bad thing about this transaction. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by RougerB This Catalyst Starter Set These clubs were a great deal! I bought these for my brother who is a beginner golfer. He drove his tee shot over 200 yards his second time out . Really nice clubs for a beginner, very happy with the set. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by MtGolfer187 vast variety for fitting These clubs are great for any highschool golfers between the sizes of 5,3 and 5,8 July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tater Great for beginners I bought these on sale, and couldn't be happier. Great golf clubs don't make you a great golfer, so if you are just learning how to play, these are a cheaper alternative that give you an excellent bang for your buck. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Brandon Great beginner product I bought this set as a very new beginner. I have taken this set to the driving range and to a small par 3, 9 hole course to learn the basics. Very nice set. Only negative is that there should be a wedge thrown in with the other irons. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by itfeltsoweird Great price for starter set. Upon looking at clubs to start my venture into golf I found a great deal on this set. Can't wait to break them in. Quality seems decent for the price though I'm a complete novice. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bro123 Very happy with this set of clubs! Great price for a nice set of clubs. Perfect for a newbie. July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by madrasman43 Acuity 9-Piece golf club set Bought two sets for grandsons who are learning game of golf in early teen years. They were surprised and tickled to get the sets and were profoundly happy to get what they had wanted for some time. June 17, 2014

Ben Broman - Testudo Times | Winfield - FTRS | Brian - BCInterruption | Brandon Rink - ACCBlogger | Brendan - From Ol' Virginia | CGB - The Key Play | James - Riddick & Reynolds
Question #1: Half the regular season is now kaput. Has your team exceeded, met, or fell short of your preseason predictions?
Generally speaking, everyone was fairly disappointed outside of Maryland and NC State thus far this season. Brian @ BCI is questioning BC's bowl-hood already. Brandon Rink, ACC Blogger extraordinaire, said the following about the ACC:
Preseason, I said six final top 25 teams. Yeah, that's not happening, but, FSU has emerged as a possible top 10 to 5 team that I didn't see back in the dog days of summer without football. What's funny is how after a month – I didn't think my preseason picks of FSU vs. Virginia Tech were going to happen – and here in mid-October, they sit atop each division...But I say all that to say, yeah, fell short.Question #2: The ACC finished the first half of the season 23-14 in out of conference play. If we took out the I-AA games, that'd be a lowly 12-13 record. If we took out the non-BCS squads, that'd be a 3-10 record against BCS opponents. If we further removed the Big East, we'd have ZERO wins in out of conference play and 9 losses against the SEC, Big 10, Pac 10, and Big 12... There are nine more out of conference games for the ACC including 6 games against BCS opponents. Is there any hope for rehabilitating the ACC's tarnished image?
Everyone is pointing towards the final weekend of the year as the ACC's Alamo. The Key Play says it best:
If the ACC can sweep the three remaining marquee games against the SEC: Clemson-South Carolina, Florida State-Florida and Georgia Tech-Georgia that'll go a long way in transforming our image from Nixon to Kennedy. And don't forget about bowl season.
In all seriousness though, if you want to know why the ACC went 0-9 against the SEC, Big 10, Pac 10 and Big 12, look no further than the schedule. Of those nine non-conference games, six were on the road, one was a neutral site game, and just two were at home. Not to mention for one of those two home games -- Alabama at Duke -- the ACC didn't have a realistic shot of winning.Question #3: The Atlantic and Coastal divisions are knotted up at 5 wins a piece in interdivision play. Which division is better top to bottom?
The ACC was the victim of some cruel scheduling fate where seven of their nine games against "BCS-Big East" competition in the first few weeks were played away from home. Other than Kansas, those other eight opponents will likely challenge for their conference's title (or may be a borderline BCS team in the case of Notre Dame). Five of those nine losses have come against teams currently ranked in the AP Top 10 -- Ohio State, Oklahoma, Auburn, Alabama, LSU.
Votes for the Coastal: 0...Atlantic: 3...Tie: 4...If we're talking democracy, the Atlantic wins. If we're talking a vote on the Senate floor, 4 abstentions would be a no decision. I'll give the Atlantic the edge like a points winner in boxing.
Question #4: Who is the ACC's first half of the season offensive MVP? Defensive MVP? Any comeback player of the year nominees or predictions for ACC Rookie of the Year?
Russell Wilson snatched up five of the seven Offensive MVP votes. Tyrod Taylor pulled two votes. The Defensive MVP was broken down as such: Luke Kuechly (2.5 votes), Da'Quan Bowers (2 votes), Jayron Hosley (1 vote), Nate Irving (1 vote), and Bruce Taylor (0.5 votes).
Comeback Player of the Year nominees were Mark Herzlich followed by Nate Irving, Darren Evans, and Keith Payne (UVA). Rookie of the Year nominees were Isaiah Johnson (GT), Tanner Price (Wake), Mustafa Greene (NCSU), and Joe Vellano (MD).
Question #5: What games are still circled on the schedule as must win games for your fan base and program?
Brendan of FOV hates VT almost as much as Winfield hates red velvet cake. He expresses his displeasure here:
I'm choking on the very words, but VT isn't an attainable goal just yet. During a rebuilding project you've got to see forward progress, and you've got to get the easy ones under your belt. That means EMU and Duke at a minimum. Maryland will be seen as winnable and nobody wants to lose that one at home. And it's hard to say whether or not UNC is out of reach at the moment, but there's a streak to protect.The Key Play counters Brendan with a much more pointed and direct response:
Every single one of them, but Georgia Tech, @Miami and UVa are circled twice.Question #6: Let's say your university invented a device capable of transporting one individual from your program's past. And then the machine would collapse into itself due to the sheer greatness of said individual. What one player from your long and storied history would you cherry pick to instantly upgrade your team?
This is list of NFL talent that could defeat any conference's "All Stars" in a flag football game of conference superiority. FOV chose D'Brickashaw Ferguson (2006 4th overall pick). Testudo Times chose Boomer Esiason (4X Pro Bowler). Winfield chose Calvin Johnson (2007 2nd overall pick). The Key Play chose Michael Vick (2001 1st overall pick). Riddick & Reynolds took Adrian Wilson (3X Pro Bowler). And BCI chose Atlanta Falcon lord and savior Matt Ryan (2008 3rd overall pick). That's 416 NFL career touchdowns, 12 Pro Bowl selections, and copious amounts of cash stock piled amongst 6 dudes.
Question #7: Now that you've seen ~29% of the scheduled ACC games, who will be in the 2010 ACC Championship Game?
FSU leads the pack with 6.5 votes. VT had 5.5 votes. Miami had 1 vote. GT and NC State had 0.5 votes. As Ben Broman states simply:
Florida State and Virginia Tech. FSU is the best team in the conference, and VT has regrouped. I'm taking FSU.Thanks to all the bloggers who participated. Check out the links at the head of the article to read their full responses.

Tips for the Perfect Fondueby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, January 17th, 2012
Food Network Magazine has the recipe and tips for the Perfect Fondue. Here's how to master the melting:
1. Use room-temperature cheese: Grate the cheese straight out of the fridge, then let it come to room temperature before melting.
2. Keep the heat low: Overcooked cheese is tough and rubbery. Melt it slowly, stir constantly and don't let it come to a boil.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say three Ohio
deer hunters were killed during the weeklong gun season - the first
killed since 2009.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says two
hunters were killed Dec. 2, in Coshocton County, east of Columbus, and
Gallia County in southern Ohio. The third fatality was the next day in
Fulton County, west of Toledo.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that all were believed to be accidental shootings.
Officials said Ohio hunters checked 75,408
white-tailed deer during this year's gun season - down about 13 percent
from last year.
Coshocton County led the way for the highest number
of deer taken. Other top counties were Muskingum, Tuscarawas, Guernsey
and Ashtabula.

Well, now those notes are made for you, and by the very same teachers who expertly answer your questions in eNotes Homework Help.
With real teachers and professors helping you with your homework, how can you go wrong?
How do I find them?

Top Ten Strangest Questions I've Been Asked While Working at a University Library Front DeskPosted: September 24, 2013 Filed under: Books, College Students, Teachers & Teaching, Top 10 | Tags: books, librarians, library, literature, novels, students, teachers, top ten, university library 2 Comments
10. Patron: If I was feeling particularly existentialist, what book would you recommend for me?
9. Patron: Hi. I'm looking for a book called Bay Wolves. Can you help me find it?
Me: Sure, let me look it up for you… Hmmm, sorry we don't have any books by that name. Do you know the author's name, maybe?
Patron: No, but I think it's spelled kind of weird, like B-E-O… wolves.
Me: …Do you mean Beowulf?
8. Patron: Can you help me find the Law Library?
Me: [pulls out a map] The Law Library is right here. You just walk down this street, turn this corner, and you'll be there.
Patron: Thanks, hopefully they'll have a book about Newton's Laws.
Me: Uh, maybe you're looking for the Physics Library instead…?

eNotes is looking to enlist a small team of student contributors that we're calling our eNotes TAs.

Along with our team of real-life Educators, eNotes TAs will help to make Homework Help your top choice for expert answers and instruction provided in the clearest way!
To join this team you must be enrolled in school (high school or undergraduate) and possess an enthusiasm for learning and sharing what you've learnt.
In return, eNotes TAs will receive:
- free premium membership to eNotes (unlimited access to our 250,000+ study guides, plus up to 5 Homework Help questions per day)
- valuable resume or college application experience
- special gift card rewards based on the attainment of pre-set goals
How to apply:
If you're interested in becoming a part of the eNotes team, please submit your application to become a TA to firstname.lastname@example.com. Make sure to include a little bit about yourself, your grade level, and what makes you a strong candidate for the TA program. We look forward to hearing from you!

John R. Bowen is the Dunbar-Van Cleve Professor in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. His books include Blaming Islam (MIT Press 2012), Can Islam Be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State (Princeton UP 2009), Why the French Don't Like Headscarves (Princeton UP 2007), and Islam, Law and Equality in Indonesia (Cambridge UP 2003). Dr. Bowen's current research focuses on comparative social studies of Islam across the world. His own ethnographic studies take place in Indonesia, France, and England, but he works with students and colleagues with field sites across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Dr. Bowen's work analyses how Muslims (judges and scholars, public figures, ordinary people) work across plural sources of norms and values, including diverse interpretations of the Islamic tradition, law codes and decisions, and local social norms.
Dr. Peter Mandaville is Director of the Ali Vural Ak Center for Global Islamic Studies and Associate at George Mason University. He is also a Nonresident Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution. From 2011-12 he served in government as a member of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State.

I take it that with the game kicking off so late we are almost guaranteed to have no coverage of the game for those of us still in scotland?
Posted 02 May 2012 - 03:51 PM
I would think someone would cover it. Every Scotland game since Estonia in 2004 has been shown live.
It was the same again in 2013 but hopefully the Black can get a bit closer in 2014!

Is it possible to use AutoHotKey to facilitate LaTeX document authoring? In which ways? Is there any off the shelf AutoHotKey script for this purpose?
In general, I'm very inaccurate when typing things like "\", "{", "$" etc. It's especially cumbersome to navigate text with the Left, Right, Up and Down keys and you do all of these things constantly when typing tex.
I haven't spent much time learning how to write scripts with AHK, but I did write a few things to make a few shortcuts and to save the amount of which my wrists have to bend while typing tex.
For example, these I wrote for my preference.
I came here because I too was wondering if someone with professional knowledge of AHK had written something useful for writing tex.
You can use AutoHotKeys to define a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for the most often used LaTeX commands:
But if you're willing to invest time in learning a tool to ease LaTeX document authoring, I suggest emacs and the good AUCTeX extension. It has many well-thought keyboard shortcuts, syntax highlighting (including bold for \section), jump to the point of compilation error, table of content navigation, etc. http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/features.html
Works under Linux, Windows and Mac.

London Photowalks & Street and Travel Photography Workshops
On Going Digital's London Street Safaris there is no classroom session - just pure photography from beginning to end with feedback and advice from your Tutor. As well as our popular evening Low Light and Street and Travel Photography Walks for DSLR, bridge and compact system cameras described below we also offer new Smartphone Photography Walks...
NEW Smartphone Photography Walks If you would like to learn how to take better pictures with your smartphone and understand how to use a variety of different Apps to edit them, this course is ideal for you. What you will learn:
• What Apps to use and where to download them
• How to compose a great photograph - the rules of composition and choosing and positioning your subject, using lead in lines, and framing
• The creative use of light – how to see the light and work with it to create beautiful images
• How to crop your images for creative effect. Make brightness, colour and contrast adjustments. Use filters to transform your images and add artistic flare. Easily create amazing photo collages.
• Share your images with friends and or social media
Limited to 6 students, these 3 hour workshops are led by tutor Richard Berry. We will meet at 10 am in the Crosse Keys Public House in Gracechurch Street. From there we will cross over London Bridge to Walk down the river-side to Southwalk Cathedral and Borough Market and past the Golden Hind along the Thames to the Millennium Bridge and over the St Pauls Cathedral.
Two different courses are available for DSLR, bridge and compact system cameras - South Bank Evening LOW LIGHT and NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS and STREET AND TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES throughout the most iconic toursist areas in London. Unlike some photowalks with twenty plus attendees, our courses are limited to just 4 people so there is plenty of time to get lots of one-to-one support from your Tutor. Perfect to gain confidence photographing people, street scenes and city life, the Street and Travel Photography Courses run from 10am to 3.30pm. The Twilight Courses run from 6.30 pm to 9.30pm. Both courses are suitable for all ages and fitness levels - the route is a gentle amble with plenty of stops for coffee and to review pictures.
If you have ever wanted to immerse yourself into photographing people within a street environment but were too frightened to...then a Going Digital Street and Travel Photography Course is your chance to get really confident photographing people and to capture the diversity of London's wonderful urbanization of people! Brick Lane Market, Covent Garden Market and Borough Markets all offer fantastic candid portraiture opportunities. Whether you want to improve your street or holiday photography or just want to practice and improve your skills, one of these courses is ideal for you as each course is set among some of London's most famous landmarks.
Our photowalk workshops in London are led by Ingrid Abraham of Candid Creativity or Tas Black, MA Photography and Visual Anthropology. Tas has published in numerous magazines and exhibited internationally. Tas specialises in travel photography, social documentary, reportage photography and portraiture. Our Tutors will teach you new skills and give you feedback and one-to-one support throughout the day!
See pictures taken by on our photowalks in the London Street Safaris Flickr Group Gallery!
£10 GD Progression Discount Applies to the full day PhotoSafaris for students progressing from other GDLSE courses.
The City & Borough Market to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London Travel & Street Photography Safari
We will meet at 10 am in the Crosse Keys Public House in Gracechurch Street. From there we will cross over London Bridge to Walk down the river-side to Southwalk Cathedral and Borough Market. From here we progress along the South Bank past HMS Belfast to Tower Bridge. We will photograph Tower Bridge before moving on to the Tower of London where so many lost their heads! We will stop for you to lunch in the Tower area at Trinity Square. After lunch, we will walk back towards the city photographing some of the great monuments and buildings inside the walls of the ancient City and end our day at Bank station.
STUDENT FEEDBACK - Thanks to Tas for a great day yesterday. Thanks to her efforts I spent most of the day on manual mode, I really like the idea of the classroom on the hoof, rather than sitting in a room and explaining loads of theory we just got on with taking photos and Anastasia corrected us as we went. Well done Tas. Once again thanks for great day, Rick.
Market Bliss - Bricklane Travel & Street Photography SafariWe will meet at 10 am in the Hamilton Hall Wetherspoons, street-level Concourse, Liverpool Street Station. From there we will take a short walk to Spitalfields Markets, Petticoat Lane Market and Bricklane Market in Shoreditch where retro meets vintage, and where the graffiti artist Banksy gained much of his recognition.
Bricklane is buzzing on a Sunday with the wonderful and the unusual. This a good chance to really get out there and practice capturing people at their best.
Covent Garden to China Town Travel & Street Photography SafariWe meet at 10am in the Marks and Spencer's cafe to the left of Covent Garden tube station. We will spend time in the Covent Garden Piazza where we will spend 30 minutes discussing the settings on your digital camera. Then we take a leisurly stroll to put these skills into practice photographing "Living Statues"/street performers and a variety of café culture, "olde worlde", shops and stalls, at one of London's most famous landmarks. Our next stop will be Leicester Square, amongst the busy restaurants, theatres, caricature artists, and tourists before heading into China Town.
After lunch we will stroll through to London's famous China Town where we can take practice taking colourful photographs in this vibrant, culturally rich area, through Soho to Trafalgar Square before closing our day at 3.30pm.
Twilight by the Thames - An Evening Photowalk
We will meet at 6.30 pm at the Cafe Nero, Lancaster Place, 2 Lancaster Place London, WC2E 7EA. From Waterloo Bridge we will slowly make our way along the South Bank to Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament. The view of our great London city doesn't get any better than an evening on Waterloo Bridge - The London eye heroically lit up, the Houses of Parliament at sunset, the reflections in River Thames, the night life on the South Bank. This is a chance to learn how to photograph during the golden hour and into the night to practice your low light photography skills and to capture our city at night.
You will need a digital camera with the ability to set both aperture and shutter speed and a tripod. This walk runs from 6.30-9.30pm.
Thanks to Jeanette Thomson for this lovely shot!
One-to-One Experience Days In Central LondonOur weekday One-to-One photography experience days usually run from 10am to 4pm.

STUDENT FEEDBACK - Please pass on my thanks to Tas for teaching us during the Photowalk through the West End today. Whilst from previous reading I was familiar with taking manual based photo's, she helped me understand ISO a bit better and the differences between zoom and non zoom lenses and also gave some good advice when reviewing some of the pictures we'd shot today. A really enjoyable experience and a good fun group. Would highly recommend it.
Many thanks and with best regards, Will Holme(3/08/2013).
Tish, Can you thank Tas for a wonderful day out in Covent garden. She provided excellent weather to start the day off with and even when it started to rain we still got some lovely photos. She managed to keep us all entertained and help everyone on the day with tips and advice no matter what their levels were. She was able to give us confidence to go and take lots of people photos which is one of my worst fears I have upload some of the photos to my flickr page and have also put some of those onto the photo walk Flickr page. Now which walk shall I book next? J.
Hi, I really enjoyed the Photo Walk & felt I learnt a lot as well as gaining confidence photographing the general public. I've uploaded about half of the pictures I took to my London Street Safari Gallery. Thanks a lot for a good day out. Best regards, Dave Tremayne.
Just wanted to say thank you for a really good day. Met Tas as per instructions and was really impressed by her enthusiasm to get us actually taking lots of pictures of London and the people and strictly not on auto mode - learnt all about exposure, speed, aperture and ISO settings. She had an eye and knowledge to push us to try new things which we all did. It has given me the confidence to keep on trying to take more pictures of people. Thank you Tas and Going Digital. Have uploaded a few pics to Flickr group, Peter.
Hi Tish and Andy, just wanted to let you know that the workshop yesterday was excellent and I really enjoyed it. Tas was really laid back and a great tutor with a real eye for how to improve a shot by using very simple, straightforward techniques. We visited pretty much most of London and got some great shots - which I will post on Flickr soon. Thanks again, Steve.

Buried amongst Nintendo America's amusing (and often silly) Direct presentation from today comes news of the next iteration of its popular lifestyle experience: Wii Fit U. Outside of a few brief screens and a very vague first half of 2013 release window, not much is known about the updated title save for one bit — an included pedometer dubbed the Fit Meter. Functioning much like the Fitbit, this additional peripheral will, presumably, be clipped to users' clothing, gathering movement data that will eventually be transferred to the Wii U console for use in over 77 game-based activities. Health-tracking is fast becoming a crowded space, so it's no surprise the Big N would want to extend that plastic scale's functionality with some real-world info. We'll keep you updated on any further news as it's released.

I watched Episode 9 of The Apprentice last night (Sorry, I know that's almost a week ago but Sky+ gets the better of me from time to time).
Despite the time lapse I felt it was essential to post something because there were some very relevant mistakes in last night's show.
This week the teams were challenged to create a multi-media brand awreness and marketing campaign to promote English Sparkling Wine as a preferred alternative to Champagne. At the end of it all they needed to have created a website and promotional video.
Both teams did an awful job but Sterling were judged to have lost. Sterling consisted of team leader Ricky Martin (always makes me laugh – immature I know), Jenna, Gabrielle and Stephen. In my opinion they deserved to lose because they got the branding completely wrong. On a visit to a vineyard to better understand what makes the wine so special (a smart move), they learned that English sparkling wine was a sophisticated, multi-award winning wine, all about quality, quality and quality.
So… Challenged with promoting English sparkling wine over its better known French alternative, they chose to name it after a French word, 'Grandeur'. Surely a red card offence in itself?
And in an effort to communicate quality, quality, quality – they decided to record a very cheesy video in a bid to be funny. Where's the quality in that? And the main message in the video?… Labeling Champagne as 'disgusting', which of course, it isn't. It was embarrassing. One comment came from the panel of industry experts who said 'Tell me, do you think you could find a Champagne company producing anything like that?'.
It's ok, in fact it's sometimes a very good idea, to try something different and ignore the industry norms – but not at the expense of your core message. If your message is quality and class, your video needs to be about quality and class… Not a cheesy joke. The same applies to your business and everything you do, say, and communicate via your marketing. Are you promoting a quality product with marketing that's a bit of a joke?
On a sidenote, Gabrielle's logo design was well received – a rose that formed a champagne glass. Although, I would've just gone with a more refined rose. Sometimes people try to overcomplicate the message – simple designs often communicate the message better.

Just wanted to take a second to thank you and the entire group at Spyderco for providing the new Manix 2 S110V to your customer base.
I'm the guy that asked about a Manix 2 w/S30V over on another forum. While I am sure that this knife was in the planning stages long before I asked about putting together the great aspects of the LW with an outstanding steel, it sure seems like this was a direct response to the comments made in that thread and in threads on this forum.
That is one of the great things about you & Spyderco - you have the pulse of your customers firmly under your collective thumbs. So thanks, Sal, for listening and giving your customers what they want. Spyderco are simply great folks to do business with.

Day 5: Update Your Reading, 5 Ways to Enhance Your Writing Skills
Feb 14 There's nothing like finding a blog you love or a columnist that says exactly what you're thinking. Often at FWJ we are accused of being mind readers and though I'd love to have all the readers of Freelance Writing Jobs spend $9.99 a minute to call in so I can read their writing tea leaves, we are actually just writing about what we live and questions we have had or have been asked.

Networking Your Articles into More Work

Carson discussed how writing talent will only get you so far and your ability to master the business end of freelance writing is what is going to make the difference between eating steak or bologna. I added the bologna part, but it's an important point to consider. Writers define their success in different ways – first when they get published, then when they can live off their earnings.

Wordy Wednesday – Double Ds

Day 4: Technology, 5 Ways to Enhance Your Writing Skills
Jan 30 Freelance writing is one of the businesses people can start with little to no start up costs.

The danger is a simple start can lead to technological complacency. Day four's tip is update your technology. There are a variety of helpful techno gear and software that will save you time and increase your access to clients thereby increasing profits and success. The key is [Read more…]
Blog Posts vs. Articles: Format
Jan 28 Today we complete the blog versus article comparison. Previous posts covered length and POV, audience expectation and today we are going to look at formatting differences. Articles have a pretty standard format. There's the lede (lead) paragraph, some quotes, source citing, each new idea is in a new paragraph and there is a conclusion paragraph to tie it all together. Articles that have more information will also have bullet points or sub-sections with different headers. It's a simple concept that's not so easy to execute successfully no matter what those "Freelance Writing is Easy!" ads contend. Blog posts have more [Read more…]
The Vices of Very Creative People – Part 1
Jan 24 If you go through life free of bad habits, you won't live forever, but it will feel like it. In my neverending research into what makes a good writer, rather than me actually writing, a number of things began to present themselves about the way authors conduct themselves these days, certainly as opposed to the lives some of our predecessors. These days the early life of the writer is mostly disciplined and planned by demanding publishers. Especially when there are twenty authors waiting for their shot should one get a little too big for their britches after their first success. [Read more…]

After announcing that receiver Roscoe Parrish and linebacker Andra Davis would be placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday, the Bills had two roster spots to fill. According to a report from Brian McIntyre, they have decided to do so by promoting receiver Paul Hubbard from the practice squad and signing linebacker Mike Balogun off of Tampa Bay's practice squad.
Hubbard has been on Buffalo's practice squad since very early in the season. The 6'2", 225-pound Wisconsin product was a sixth-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2008, and has not yet appeared in a regular season NFL game. His promotion solidifies the expected increased roles for rookie receivers David Nelson and Donald Jones, who will both see an increase in snaps to help replace Parrish.
C.J. Spiller and Shawn Nelson could see a decent amount of time lined up in the slot, as well.
Balogun is an undrafted rookie free agent out of Oklahoma. The 6'0", 240-pound inside linebacker had a strong pre-season in San Francisco, and has spent time with Washington and (most recently) Tampa Bay this season. Should he ever get the opportunity to play, he will likely appear only as a specialist.
If the report is accurate, Buffalo's 53-man roster will be set heading into their Week 10 matchup with Detroit. Hubbard's promotion would leave another vacancy on the practice squad.

Over the past two years the Gallery has had the good fortune to acquire a wide array of interesting and unusual photographic books. When Lucas, Adam and I began to craft this catalog we took several factors into consideration. We wanted to include exceptional books and interesting ephemera unfamiliar to most collectors alongside the familiar classics. Whenever possible we have included signed or association copies. We also feel that it is important to include books involving photography by artists not principally known as photographers (e.g. Christo, Sol Lewitt, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha). From Fair to Fine II also contains books with original photographs either tipped in or laid in. And finally we are offering a number of books accompanied by original prints that were illustrated as the covers. From Fair to Fine II premiered at Paris Photo 2008. Given the great interest that has developed in photographic book collecting in Europe in recent years and the occasion of our first participation in this show, we felt it apt. To purchase:

ANTLERS, OK--An Oklahoma man charged with murder faced a jury Thursday. Clifton Parish of Fort Towson was at the Pushmataha County Courthouse. He's charged with the murder of 39-year-old Robert Strickland of Hugo.
Strickland went missing in April 2010. Officials say it may have been a robbery. Strickland was taken to an area in south Pushmataha County where he was shot and killed. His body was dumped at another location.
The jury is expected to reach a verdict in the next few days.

Books:Photography:Women of Vision
Women photographers have produced many of National Geographic's most powerful photo-narratives of the past decade. These talented photojournalists are celebrated in this captivating photography book, covering places and subjects around the globe and sharing the same passion and commitment to storytelling that has come to define National Geographic magazine, with more than 31 million readers worldwide.
Women of Vision is a tribute to the spirit and the ambition of these journalists and artists who have created riveting, visual experiences through the insightful, sensitive, and strategic use of a camera. With an introduction by Chris Johns, editor-in-chief of National Geographic magazine, and a thoughtful foreword by acclaimed journalist Ann Curry, this book presents both personal reflections and stunning selections of photographic assignment work from the past decade, setting a new standard for excellence that will continue to inspire for decades to come.
From the elegant landscapes of the Mongolian steppes to the war-torn battlefields of Iraq; from the last great wildernesses of Africa to the flash and tumult of the Jersey Shore, these stories explore the realities of our world and the depths of what it means to be human in the 21st century.
Aline Alexander Newman is a multiple award-winning magazine writer, author, teacher, newspaper columnist, and speaker. Her articles and stories have appeared in over 20 national publications, including Boy's Life, Guideposts, and Highlights for Children. Most of her fifty plus features for National Geographic Kids (formerly World) have appeared on the cover. Her children's book, Ape Escapes was the first release in National Geographic Kids Chapters.

|the lost art of losing
|281 weeks ago
|There is an art to losing. It takes a special person of unusually bad habits to achieve the highestranks in the art of losing. Sad to say, the older I get the closer these loftier ranks become. First it was my head that started to grow a "sunroof" and I lost most of my hair and I definitelydid not like that. Then it was my teeth but I have a good dentist so no one will ever know. I still do not like losing anything but now I have had to accept it and/or try to find ways to avoid it. Losing is only good for debt, weight and bad politicians. Now what does "loosing" have to do with windows? Have you ever walked through a window factory and seen a clean floor? Usually there is debris of some sort on the floor from vinyl scraps to broken glass to discarded aluminum pieces. When I see this I see dollar signs. I see wasted money. There may never be a window factory that uses 100% of every piece of material that it purchases with zero waste but every window and door manufacturer must daily strive to reduce expensive material shrinkage. If not then they are accomplishing the art of loosing through complacency. This is called ?Complacency Losing.? This is also true of the inert gas used to fill Insulated Glass Unit's (IGU's). If an IGU manufacturer puts argon or krypton in their window or door via a hand filled system then, on average, there is approximately 30 to 40% waste of gas per window. Only 60 to 70%% of the gas will end up in any IGU. I hate this! I see dollar signs being sent into the air. Now there are many good reasons for this waste of gas starting with "speeding up" the filling time per window to reduce labor. However this only causes turbulent flow within the IGU and sends more expensive gas into the atmosphere. (See chart #1) You should always follow the recommended gas filling procedures by your equipment manufacturer. Trying to "speed up" IGU manufacturing byreducing the gas fill time causes a greater loss of gas then needed and therefore decreases productivity. This is called ?Shooting yourself in the foot losing? and it hurts.

About a week ago I made a fanpost on steps to become a contender and one of them was fire Doug Collins but I don't believe that anymore. When you put yourself in his shoes you start to respect him more when you have to work with kwame,ivey,wilkins,nick,dorrell,hawes,lavoy. The one thing you can blame him is for not playing Moultrie. You could hear the frustration in his post conference. He really did give his body to the organization and it's pretty clear he's given everything mentally too, and to be such a competitor and have guys not give heart and not care is a slap in the face to him. Last year's team was every bit of Passionate, Intense, and Proud. This year's is nothing but. I say keep Doug, Thad, Jrue, and ET and literally no one else. Jrue is averaging 19 but that is because he's forced to. He's better as a 17 and 10 guy so we need a scorer with superstar potential to be his backcourt mate like shabazz. Or if we trade for a pick we can get the best of both worlds and get oladipo who is basically iggy and still draft shabazz. Bynum's done so we mine as well get Pek or big Al.
Core going forward: Jrue, Shabazz, Oladipo(iggy role), Thad, Pek/ Big Al Bench: Turner(Ginobili Role), and just pure shooters and athletes.

Cataclysm Systems Patch
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be in stores on December 7, 2010 and the time has come to prep for the official launch by implementing its first major patch. Players can experience many major game and user interface systems updates in the first official patch for the upcoming third expansion, patch 4.0.1.
* Cataclysm Launcher Update
o The new Cataclysm Launcher allows you to stream game data while you play. This will reduce the time you spend downloading, installing, and patching World of Warcraft. We'd like to get your feedback on the toolset and gameplay experience. Please head to the forums here for additional information.
* Reforging
o Players can now visit special Reforging NPCs in capital cities located near Enchanting trainers. 40% of any one secondary stat on an item can be allocated to add a new secondary stat to the item. The stat being added cannot already exist on the item. An item cannot have more than one reforged stat at a time, though the Reforging of an item can be undone and changed.
Dungeons & Raids
* Flexible Raid Lock System
o Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum now use the new Flexible Raid Lock system. This system provides the opportunity for a character to defeat each raid zone's encounters once a week. A character may now complete the encounters during the week with different raids of either 10 or 25 players.
o Learn more about this feature by visiting our official forums here.
* Icecrown Citadel
o The Chill of the Throne effect has been removed.
* PvE Currency Changes
o All Emblems of Frost and Emblems of Triumph have been converted to new Justice Points.
o Any dungeon or raid which awarded these emblems will reward Justice Points instead. Anything below Emblems of Triumph, including badges from The Burning Crusade dungeon and raid content, have been converted into gold and sent to players via the in-game mail system.
o Any bosses players defeat that are level-appropriate to them award Justice Points.
o All items that previously cost emblems or badges of any type now cost Justice Points.
o Higher-tier Valor Points will be awarded to players who kill dungeon and raid bosses in the latest tier of PvE content after the launch of Cataclysm.
* PvP Currency Changes
o All Arena Points, Honor Points, Battleground Marks of Honor, Stone Keeper's Shards, Venture Coins, and Spirit Shards have been converted into new Honor Points.
o Honor Points will be awarded instead of these currencies, with the exception of Arena Points.
o Higher-tier Conquest Points will be awarded to players competing in each of the latest Arena or Rated Battleground seasons after the launch of Cataclysm.
* For more information on the changes to the currencies and conversion rates for each type, please visit our Cataclysm forum.
Classes: General
* Many class talents, spells, and abilities have been overhauled, added, or removed.
* All spell and ability tooltips will now display damage averages rather than minimum and maximum damage potential. This feature is on by default but can be changed via the Display settings under User Interface options.
* Ammo has been removed from the game.
* The character levels at which classes gain new spells and abilities have changed.
* Many item and class stats have been changed or removed.
* Mastery rating has been added as a new stat which provides unique benefits for characters based on class and talent specialization. Mastery rating does not currently exist on items in the game, however, Reforging can be used to add Mastery rating as a secondary stat to existing items.
* Rage has been normalized.
* Spells and abilities no longer have multiple ranks and now scale with character level.
* Talent trees have been altered. All player talent specializations have been reset, allowing for free re-specialization.
o Each specialization has been reduced to a 31-point talent tree.
o Players will now get a total of 41 talent points to spend.
o Players will be asked to choose a specialization at level 10. Doing so will result in the unlocking of a spell or ability unique to that specialization, as well as one or more passive bonuses.
o Once a talent specialization has been chosen, players may only place points in the primary tree until at least 31 points have been spent there.
o The initial announcement regarding these talent tree changes can be found on our Cataclysm forum.
Death Knights
* A dedicated tanking tree (Blood) has been implemented.
* The effects of Blood Presence and Frost Presence have been exchanged.
* The way in which runes recharge has changed.
* A new Eclipse mechanic has been added for druids.
* Five pets can now be stored with the hunter at all times. Any one of these five pets can be summoned via the Call Pet ability.
* Focus has replaced mana as a new resource.
* Hunters now start with a pet at level 1.
* The Stable will now store 20 pets. If a pet is moved into the Stable, its talents are wiped.
* There is now a new spell fly-out UI feature for mage portals. Clicking on the Teleport or Portal buttons will expand the list of choices available.
* Paladins now have a new resource bar.
* There is now a new spell fly-out UI feature for warlock pets. Clicking on this single button will open up the list of available pets to summon.
* Soul Shards have been removed from the game as items. Instead, they now exist as a resource system necessary for using, or altering the mechanics of certain spells.
* Resilience no longer reduces the chance a player will be critically hit by an opponent.
* Durability: cloth, leather, and mail now have as many points of durability as plate, making the repair cost on death much closer to equal for all classes.
* The glyph system has been updated to now feature three different types of glyphs. Many class glyphs have been added, altered, or moved to different glyph types.
User Interface
* Spell Alerts have been added to notify players when procs on select spells and abilities occur. A visual notification will display around the character and the activated ability will be highlighted on the action bar.
* The Guild Interface has been redesigned to incorporate additional functionality, including new sorting and organizational options.
* The Arena Teams pane has been improved.
* The Character pane has been redesigned. Character stats can now be shown or hidden via the Show All Details/Hide All Details button on the bottom left. When shown, all character stats will be visible in a window to the right of the pane. Stat sections can be reorganized by clicking and dragging them up or down the pane.
* The Professions panes now have more filtering and search functionality, as well as buttons to easily link recipes in the chat frame.
* A Professions screen has been added to the Spellbook to better display the details of a character's primary and secondary professions.
* Many of the yellow System Messages that would display in the chat frame when leveling up have been removed.
* New text animations now alert players as they level up, also providing information on when new talents, spells and abilities are available.
* Professions and Class Trainers windows have been altered to more clearly display available and upcoming purchases.
* New Raid frames are now available. They can also be used in place of the standard 5-player party interface via the User Interface options.
* The Spellbook interface has been improved for greater ease-of-use and visual appeal.
* For additional notes on Lua and XML changes please visit the UI & Macros forum.
* Improved water and lava rendering system (Video Options - Liquid Detail on the Graphics Panel)
* Dynamic Sunshafts effect (Video Options - Sunshafts on the Graphics Panel)
* Multi-monitor support (Video Options - Monitor on the Graphics Panel)
* OpenGL Hardware Cursor support for Windows (Video Options - Hardware Cursor on the Advanced Panel)
* Experimental support for DX11 (enabled by passing '-d3d11' on the command line or adding SET gxApi "d3d11" to the Config.WTF file)
