This is a beautiful ring!! I could not believe the amount of sparkle and shine this ring has
I received this engagement ring! The ring is better then I expected! It sparkles in all kind of light! I have fairly small hands and the ring is the perfect size! Make sure you order the right size so you don't have to give it up for 2 weeks to be resized! Overall I am very pleased!
Lots of sparkle for the money! I got lots of compliments on it!
Very pleased with this ring. Did a lot of research and found this one for the best price for the quality. Was a bit worried that the stones would not look good but I am pleased to say they surpass my expectations. Read all the user review and they were very helpful.

Scene 6 No 5. Choral Epilogue: God sent His messenger, the rain
In the first scene Prince Henry sits alone and ill in a tower of the Castle of Vautsburg on the Rhine. It is midnight and he longs for sleep and peace ("I cannot sleep!"). Suddenly there is a flash of lightning and Lucifer appears, disguised as a travelling physician ("All hail, Prince Henry"). The 'doctor' learns that the Prince has been told by the celebrated physicians of Salerno that there is only one cure for his malady: the blood of a maiden who shall freely die for his sake. Regarding the cure as impossible, Prince Henry, in despair, allows Lucifer to tempt him with alcohol ("This little flask") to which – despite the warnings of the guardian Angels – he succumbs ("Through every vein").
A lyrical string interlude opens Scene 2, evoking the quiet evening described by Ursula ("Slowly, slowly"). The villagers are gathered outside her house after their day's work and as the lamps are lit inside they sing an evening hymn ("O gladsome Light"). Prince Henry, passing by, hears them and adds his personal 'Amen' before the villagers disperse to their homes. Ursula and her daughter Elsie hear the Prince ("Who was it said 'Amen'?"). Elsie wishes that she could cure his dreadful sorrow and pain and, learning the sacrifice this must entail, offers her life. Her mother pleads with her but Elsie is convinced that she has seen her fate in a vision of Christ beckoning her to Heaven. Left alone, Elsie, prays to Christ that her sacrifice may bring her closer to Him ("My Redeemer and my Lord"). Prince Henry overhears and approaches Elsie as angels sing 'Amen'. Slowly they pass into the house and darkness falls.
Scene 3 finds Prince Henry, Elsie and their attendants on the road to Salerno ("Onward and onward"). The couple delight in each other's company but the Prince cannot forget the fate that waits for Elsie. They turn down a green lane and soon come upon a band of weary pilgrims chanting the Hymn to Saint Hildebert ("Me receptet Sion illa"). Lucifer, again disguised – now as a friar – is amongst them ("Here am I, too, in the pious band"). He mocks the pilgrims and gloats over the fate of Elsie, for he has plans of his own for her. The pilgrims pass on, their chant fading in the distance. Prince Henry and Elsie continue on their journey. As evening descends they reach a height overlooking the sea and make camp. The Prince and Elsie in turn contemplate the vastness of the sea and the clear night sky ("It is the sea"). Both are uneasy as each vista conjures up ghostly visions that disturb their new-found happiness ("The night is calm").
Scene 4 is set in the Medical School at Salerno. Lucifer, now disguised as a doctor, awaits the Prince and Elsie ("My guests approach!"). His plan is now clear: posing as Friar Angelo, he intends to perform the sacrificial rite and claim Elsie's soul not for God but for himself. But he is fearful that he may yet be thwarted. Prince Henry presents Elsie to the 'friar'. Still she is resolved to die; but as she is taken away the Prince intervenes: he had wished only to test her devotion. Lucifer bars the door but the attendants break it down and Elsie is saved from death and eternal damnation.
Ursula waits anxiously for news of her daughter. At the opening of Scene 5 she is alone in her cottage when through the open door she sees a forester, dressed in the Prince's livery, approach ("Who is it coming under the trees?"). He tells Ursula that Elsie is alive ("Your daughter lives") and she gives thanks to the Virgin Mary for the life of her child ("Virgin, who lovest the poor and lowly").
Scene 5 is set on a terrace of the Castle of Vautsburg, where Prince Henry and Elsie stand alone on the evening of their wedding day ("We are alone"). As the bells of Geisenheim ring in the distance, the Prince tells how Charlemagne had heard these same bells many years ago. He goes on to tell of Fastrada, the emperor's wife, who died and whose golden ring her inconsolable husband cast into the waters of a lake. In Elsie's eyes he sees the blue of those deep, calm waters, and, beneath them, shining like Fastrada's ring, the selfless love she has for him.
The Choral Epilogue adds a final comment. Just as the rain brings life to the arid land, the Prince's malady is cured by love ("God sent His messenger, the rain"). To Elsie, faith and selflessness bring their immortal rewards. Her story, written in characters of gold, shall burn and shine through every age thereafter.

thanks so much, truly appreciate it
Just wanted to let you know I can't get this thing installed correctly for the life of me. I've tried screwing around with it more than a few times with no success. I've searched through every add on looking for your profile and I can't find it anywhere. I've deleted and reinstalled the WTF and Interface folders and copied the unrared folders from your DL into my WoW directory and I've also renamed the appropriate folders to the appropriate names. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I'm running a 40" monitor at 1920x1080 widescreen but I'm not sure this would cause your profile not to be found anywhere in the add-ons config options. I think at this point I'm getting tired of having all my bars and stuff getting clumped together in the middle of my screen which is a shame since I really liked what I saw. Hope you can help me out.
Nice UI. What addon is it that shows your health and rage in the middle of the screen with the power auras?
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.

Hi TGM, I'm digging the UI however when I try to use your PB profile it looks nothing like the screenshots...
Heyy TGM,
Can you have a look at my SS and maybe tell me whats wrong and how to fix it...
1) it looks like you are using a different resolution than what I use.
2) you didn't go in to the profiles tabs for some of the addons and select "copy from: thegreatme - Hyjal"

"I am an elitist; I will never accept mediocrity and I openly show no respect for stupidity"
firstname.lastname@example.com and my account name on the actual blizzard website is DEATHOFNATUR3. and my account name is Inorak. so rename the folder to your account name in caps. after that, open it up, and there will be the realm name folder. i believe this one is called hyjal, rename this to the name of your realm. (must be spelled and punctuated correctly) after that, open that folder. rename the folder that is named thegreatme. Rename this folder to your accounts name (the character you want the ui to be loaded on) for me this would be 'Inorak'. I hope that this helped you and anyone else who happens to see it.
Upon doing all of this, open your world of warcraft client again. you may have to accept the terms of warcraft again when logging in. type in your email and password, and choose your server. when you log into your character it will be a mess. the first thing you should do is type in '/bt'. this will open bartender. in the bartender interface, at the bottom will be a tab called profiles. go to this and go to the profile called the great me - hyjal. this should set all of the bars to where he has them. if you have out of place bars or buttons you want to be moved, at the top, uncheck the boxes lock and button lock, this will allow you to move the bars and buttons around. after that, go to the omen interface, and go to profiles once again, and choose his. after that, type in /msbt and do the same. then type in /kgbp and do the same. then type in /recount options and do the same. then type /sbf options and you can configure the way your buffs and debuffs look. basically if any addon has a profile, set it to thegreatme - hyjal
Last edited by DeathofNatur3; 03-14-2010 at 11:42 AM. Reason: new information
(tried to post as a qoute/reply, but failed lol. anyways this is referring to the addon he uses to show the cooldown remaining on buttons)
the one that he is using in this interace is called Omni CC i believe. you can also use one like 'cooldowntimers'

Last edited by DeathofNatur3; 03-14-2010 at 11:54 AM. Reason: mistake
i noticed this on a few addons. some of them you really don't need the profile. but what the issue was, i found on mine, was that i did not have my character folder correct. (Program files > World of Warcraft > WTF > Account > [your account name] > [your character name]) make sure your character name is correct. also, make sure you don't have any duplicates.
Can you please update ur new UI that ur using in the festergut movie?
once I get done updating a few of my addons I plan on re uploading it. ideally that would be some time this weekend, but it could be longer depending on how busy I am.

"I am an elitist; I will never accept mediocrity and I openly show no respect for stupidity"
kk, love u <3
IceHud seems totally broken with 3.3.3... is there a new alternative for an easy to see rage bar?
I have a question what is the addon SKINNER?
I'm furstrated as I watch your old and out of date UI video and read through most of you UI notes. Whether I'm just plain blind (good chance) or stupid (even more of a chance) I can not figure out what you are using to display the likes of EXECUTE, SLAM, VICTORY RUSH, etc. These appear just below your character during the fight in the video.
Can you please put me out of my misery and tell me what the hell you used to display these ????

I normally offtank this fight as a warrior and put my 2nd tank (Druid, pally, or DK) up as the main tank, even if they are slightly less geared.
I do this because:
1) intervene with safeguard talented is an awesome ability. I have helped prevent more wipes on this encounter with that ability alone than I ever thought I would.
2) It basically garuntees that I will have shield wall / last stand available for the frenzy in the case that the MT does die. I can simple taunt off and pop my stuff and buy the raid an additional 10 seconds or so.
3) I can put Vigilance on the other tank for a 3% damage reduction when BoSanc isn't available.

League of Legends is a game that has taken the world by storm. Since starting as a Indie game as a mod of Warcraft, this game has grown to over 30 million monthly players around the world. In season one, the prize pull for the world championship was only $150,000. Now the game has grown so much that Riot Games has rented out the Staples Center in Los Angeles and funded a monstrous $2,000,000 prize pool in Season 3. With this type of exponential growth comes new problems. One topic of heated discussion is MMR Boosting/Elo Boosting. MMR Boosting in League of Legends has become prevalent to the point that many LCS (League Championship Series) players have been caught and punished for partaking in the activity. Names like Aphromoo, Meteos, and even Rhux are some of the most renown players, but in order to fund their dreams to become a full time LoL pro, they needed to boost. Elo boosting allowed these players to forgo a traditional job which resulted in them honing their skills in League of Legends.
Although boosting is against Riot's terms of service and is actively frowned upon, many players that feel like they are stuck in a rating that they do not belong in search for various methods to improve their rating. Websites have been created by entrepreneurial high rated players that offer services that can help these players. These services include: elo boosting, duo queue games, league of legends coaching services, private guides, and more. These websites are engaging in a highly frowned upon activity, but since they are not selling any intellectual property, they cannot be taken down. They are simply selling their time as a service and according the the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 this type of activity is legally allowable. Furthermore, Tencent, the owner of a majority stake in Riot Games, has acquired an interest in Playerauctions, which itself is a marketplace that was specifically created to cater to the world of virtual goods in video games. One such site, cheapeloboosting.com, was formed by a highly rated gamer that decided to offer customers safe and secure services. They offer services to many countries around the world: NA, EUW, LAN, LAS, OCE, and many other servers in LoL. Before the development of these sites, many players found con artists around many different online forums that would take their game accounts and their money. This results in a major headache for Riot as the amount of account recovery tickets would be extremely high. By establishing reputable sites, Riot saved resources with the resulting decrease in stolen accounts and websites created value in a market that will always remain. In my next posts I will be going over the black markets that have been established in various games. This phenomena is not unique to League of Legends with some economists claiming that the virtual goods market is a billion dollar industry as more and more players flock to the online world of video gaming.

I was always taught as a kid if you do something, do it right. If not, go do something else. For me, soccer was life.
I have the chance to do for a living what I like the most in life, and that's playing football. I can make people happy and enjoy myself at the same time
I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.
Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that
Whatever happens, there are always things you could have done better. You score two goals and you usually feel you could have scored a third. That's perfectionism. That's what makes you progress in life.
Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple.

Speeding up reactions: biological vs. chemical catalysts
