A Royal Conservatoire for Scotland
1 September 2011
The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama has become the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), a name change to mark the culmination of its expansion into new disciplines in recent years.
Since 2009, the conservatoire has been offering training in dance, screen and production arts as well as music and drama. 'The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland was chosen as the new name because it reflects who we are and positions us as Scotland's national conservatoire,' said John Wallace, principal of the RCS.
The conservatoire's keyboard department had its own name change in the run-up to the rebrand, and is now known as the keyboard and collaborative piano department to reflect the opportunities for pianists to work with artists across different disciplines. These include a Pianist for Dance postgraduate programme as well as courses in classical improvisation. The name change was implemented by Aaron Shorr, head of keyboard and collaborative piano.
The RCS also acquired a new fleet of Yamaha and Steinway pianos in 2009. 'Many of the dance and musical theatre students also play the piano,' said Wallace. 'The number of pianos we have has gone through the roof.
'Pianists commune with artists across the divide,' he said. 'The piano department is incredibly important in a conservatoire, and many conservatoires were set up by pianists. If you don't have a fabulous piano department you can't really say you are a conservatoire.
'The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is a vibrant, multidisciplinary place. The name change is also about looking forwards to try and reinvent the concept of what a conservatoire is.'
Industry experts gather for the annual National Audio Show
17 August 2011
Is it ever possible to reproduce the sound of a live performance? Most people will assume that the more links there are in the reproductive chain then the more the final product will differ from the original. In September the annual National Audio Show takes place, where experts gather to debate this, and other audio-related topics.
When we sit down and listen to our favourite recordings we want our emotions to be stimulated, but just how good can a sound system be? Have we reached the limits of high-quality reproduction, and even if we have, just how good are the acoustics of the environment that it is playing in? It's complicated, and that's why we still have so many companies around the world dedicated to creating their interpretation of the perfect sound.
Today, the research and ambition for the ultimate sound extends to every component in the system, from the very fuse that protects the plug which powers the system to the quality of the power supply, the apparatus that supports of the equipment, the finest details of the turntable… It's because of this search that despite the huge growth in portable audio that static systems, together with their aesthetic, continue to play a significant and now growing contribution to the world of high-end audio.
The National Audio show is a yearly event held at the Whittlebury Hall in Northants every September. Over 65 exhibitors take part and the event attracts thousands of visitors, keen to listen in comfort to the systems unlikely to be seen on the high street.
Show opening times: 24 September, 10am-6pm | 25 September, 10am-5pm
Industry Day: 26 September, 10am- 4pm

Pianists for the next generation
1 August 2011
Pianists Christian Ihle Hadland and Igor Levit (pictured)
have been named as two of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists for the 2011
installment of the scheme. Now in its twelth year, the initiative has garnered a
reputation for nurturing the most exciting young artists on the national and
international music scene.
The New Generation Artists will be given opportunities over a two-year period to make studio recordings, concert and festival appearances and work with the BBC Orchestras. All of their work on the New Generation Artists scheme will be broadcast on Radio 3.
Hadland was featured in IP's One To Watch spot in the Jan/Feb edition (issue 5). He and Levit join fellow star pianist Benjamin Grosvenor; who is now starting his second year as a New Generation Artist.
The other artists are mezzo sopranos Clara Mouriz and Jennifer Johnston, soprano Ruby Hughes and the Signum Quartet.
Exciting line-up for Yamaha's Fourth International Piano Series
12 July 2011

How Taurus SC Works
Taurus SC Termiticide contains the same active ingredient as the popular Termidor SC, the non-repellent Fipronil. Fipronil belongs to the phenylpyrazole family of insecticides, acting primarily as a GABA inhibitor, attacking the central nervous system of target pests. Fipronil is extremely effective, yet it works slowly enough on target insect pests to take advantage of the natural food-sharing habits of social insects, particularly termites and ants. This means that the fipronil in Taurus SC spreads throughout the entire colony, killing not just those insects that come in contact with the direct spray or residual, but all the others they contact, resulting in colony elimination.
Target Pests
Subterranean termites, ants, cockroaches, occasional perimeter invaders
PESTS CONTROLLED: Ants (acrobat, Argentine, big-headed, carpenter, crazy, odorous, pavement, pharaoh, thief), Asian lady beetles, darkling beetles, Australian cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches, smoky brown cockroaches, Black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, cellar spiders, hobo spiders, Box-elder bugs, Pill bugs, Brown and dog ticks, Centipedes, Cluster flies, European earwigs, House crickets, Millipedes, Paper wasps (NOT a knockdown agent), Silverfish, Yellow jackets, Subterranean termites (including Reticulitermes, Zootermopsis, Heterotermes, Coptotermes)
Target Uses
Taurus SC is a generic version of Termidor SC, the termiticide most widely used by professional pest control companies. Taurus SC is designed for the prevention and treatment of termite infestations, and it can be applied either pre-construction or post-construction. Taurus SC is also labeled for the outdoor perimeter control of many common invaders, most effectively for ants. Because of its efficacy and longevity, termite treatments with Taurus SC may last up to 10 years, and outdoor perimeter treatments only need to be applied twice per year. Taurus SC may also be used in structural wall voids to treat active subterranean termite and ant infestations. Taurus SC is not for general indoor use.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Fipronil 9.1%
Taurus SC Application Instructions
Always read the product label completely before use.
Outside Barrier Treatment:
The main use for Taurus SC is for protection against subterranean termite infestations. To accomplish this, an outside barrier treatment is made in the ground around the foundation of the home that will protect against termites for up to 10 years or more.
First, you will need to dig a 6 inches deep x 6 inches wide trench around the outside foundation wall of the home. Next, mix 0.8 fl. oz. of Taurus SC per gallon of water and apply at a rate of 4 mixed gallons per every 10 lineal feet of trench. It is best to use a 5 gallon bucket and mark off the 4 gallon line, then mix 4 gallons of Taurus SC at a time and pour it in the trench. Allow the solution to soak into the soil and then replace the back-fill, making sure that the back-fill is soaked with Taurus SC as well. When you are done, you should have one contiguous in-ground barrier of Taurus SC all the way around the home.
Treating across slabs of concrete touching the house (such as a back patio or front porch) can be accomplished by using a hammer drill with a 1/2-inch drill bit. Holes are drilled through the concrete approximately 3-4 inches out from the house and every 12 inches across the concrete slab. Please see the product label for more information.
For more information please see the article: How to do a Termite Treatment.
Each 20 oz. bottle of concentrate yields 25 gallons of finished solution. Each 78 oz. bottle of concentrate yields 97 gallons of finished solution.
Standard Application Dilution Rates / Mixing Ratios for Taurus SC
*0.8 fl. oz. (24 mL)/ gal. of water – 0.06% a.i. – most applications, ground termite treatments, ant or other perimeter pest control
*1.2 fl. oz. (35 mL)/ gal. of water – 0.09% a.i. – may be used for active infestations or severe termite pressure
*1.6 oz. (47 mL)/ gal. of water – 0.125% a.i. – areas of dense soil that will not accept a rate of 4 gal. per 10 linear feet; only use 2 gal. per 10 linear feet per foot of depth
*Apply at a rate of 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 linear feet for perimeter termite applications.
*Apply at a rate of 1-1.5 gallon(s) of finished solution per 10 square feet of horizontal ground that will be under concrete slabs (pre-construction)
*For perimeter pest treatments (ants, etc.), apply 2 quarts of 0.06% spray per 160 lineal feet.
Taurus SC is for use in the following areas:
Outside surfaces and along foundation of Residential, institutional, commercial and industrial buildings and utility enclosures; wall voids of listed structures; NOT for indoor use; for pre-construction and post-construction treatment for termites, including concrete structures such as patios, porches, sidewalks and foundation slabs; concrete slab (including monolithic, floating and supported concrete slabs) on ground or in basements; hollow block foundations or voids in masonry; structures with French drains and sump pumps; basement structures; crawl spaces; around bath traps and shower drains; posts, poles, and wood landscape ornamentation
Taurus SC is not for Indoor use. The only permitted use indoors is for active ant or termite infestations in wall voids only.
Treating Live Termite Infestations above ground:
To control Aerial termite colonies or Drywood Termites, mix 0.8 fl. oz. of Taurus SC per gallon of water and apply to infested wooden members or voids. To treat inaccessible areas (for example, if the termite infestation is behind dry wall), drill and inject Taurus SC into the damaged wood of void spaces with a crack and crevice injector. Foam applications can also be made into void spaces.
Termite Control – See general directions above. See our article How to Do a Termite Treatment for more details.
How to Use Taurus SC for Ant Control:
For outdoor control of Ants and other perimeter pests, mix 0.8 fl. oz. of Taurus SC per gallon of water and apply using a hand-pump sprayer around the outside of the home, spraying 1 foot up the side of the house and 1 foot out from the house, all the way around the home. Also spray around any exterior openings where pests may enter such as doors (don't spray near door handles), windows, pipes, cracks, vents, holes, etc. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation. Treat anywhere electrical, cable or telephone wires enter the house. This application should be made only twice per year, in the Spring and Fall. Taurus SC works well enough that only 2 applications per year are needed for effective control.
Also be careful to prune away vegetation including shrubs and tree branches that may be touching the side of the house. This will keep pests from using shrubs and tree branches to bypass the protective barrier you sprayed.
Taurus SC Termiticide Features
*The same amount of Fipronil as Termidor SC for less
*Easier, faster, and more effective than termite bait stations
*Foam applications may be made in voids for above ground termite infestations.
*Water-based suspension
*Broad labeling for control of perimeter pests
*Convenient tip-and-pour bottle eliminates the need for other measuring equipment.
Extra Tips
*Do not make applications when precipitation is occurring.
*Do not treat soil that is water-saturated or frozen.
*Do not apply Taurus SC in any way that may contaminate a water source or within 5 feet of a well or cistern. Treatment within 5-10 feet of wells or cisterns must be done by backfill method only (removing the dirt to be treated and replacing it after it has been treated elsewhere or in a container such as a wheelbarrow).
*Do not treat edible vegetation or treat within one food out from the drip line of edible plants.
*Do not exceed 2 applications per year for perimeter pests.
*Do not apply to pet quarters or to playground equipment.

Taurus SC
By Wally on June 12, 2012
This is a 9.1% suspension of the same active ingredient in Frontline used for treatment against fleas and ticks on domestic animals. It is a non-repelling insecticide. Following the directions for termite treatment I trenched at the perimeter of my home, sprayed and put the dirt back in. I also treated my beech trees by selective injection along the drip lines and allow the root system to translocate the product up the trunks and branches of the trees. This way I avoided unnecessary and indiscriminate killing of beneficial insects such as honey bees. The product works great. It has been two years since I treated my property. So far no signs of harm to good insects because my flowering trees and plants are pollenating just fine. I have no carpenter ants in my yard. Two years carpenter ants were very active. I have recommended this product to my homeowner's association and we are actively trying to save our neighborhood beech trees from the impending woolly beech aphid invasion. One word of caution, follow the directions and apply the product just before insects are actively foraging.

Excellent product
By Tim on November 7, 2011
This product is very handy to use with the squeezable pre-measured dispenser with separate cap. It allows the user to measure small amounts to apply in tight spaces when a watering can is used and only one or two gallons are needed at a time. Complete instructions are attached to the bottle so you always have them handy for reference. The same stuff the professionals use at a fraction of the cost!

By Gomer on September 21, 2014
I have been battling ants in the yard of my new house for 2 years . Tried all the powders and granules and dusts and liquid insect killers labeled for ants, with no luck. I mean, I had hundreds of 3-4 inch ant hills in an area of about 2000 square feet. Mowing the grass on my rider was bone jarring. Sprayed Taurus mixed to label directions on Sunday and by Thursday, all ants were gone! I still see an occasional very small new ant hill, but never see any ants. I speculate a new queen is trying to move in and is being killed by the Taurus. Amazing.

Mike from Reno, Nevada asked:
QWhat is the difference between Taurus SC and Termidor SC?
ATaurus SC is the generic version of Termidor SC. They both share the same active ingredient at the same concentration and pretty much the same label. The main difference is the manufacturer.

Rob from Tucson, Az asked:
QCan public/DIY users buy any size volume containers of Taurus?
You note that Termidor only allows 20oz bottles to be sold to DIYers; does the generic Taurus have any limitations on sales?
ANo, Taurus does not have any restrictions. Homeowners can buy both the 20 oz. bottles and the 78 oz. bottles.

I just came across termites in the garage which is connected to the house. I NEED to know that this product will absolutely lambaste these critters!!! I've read rave reviews about ants...can I look for the same with termites? HELP, PLEASE!!!!
AFipronil, the active ingredient in Taurus, is known to be the best product on the market for termite control. Be sure to read the product label to make sure you are doing the treatment correctly. Our instructions, How to do a Termite Treatment can also be very helpful for homeowners.

Dale from Louisiana asked:
QIs it ok to treat with Termidor or Dominion after using Dursban?
I had a old half gallon of Dursban that I put around my house last year. I didn't trench, but I did soak it in real good. Is it ok to retreat my house with Termidor or dominion? Will the Dursban lessen the affect of the Termidor or Dominion?
A Dursban has been banned for a while so there is little information that can be offered on it. However, Termidor SC or Dominion 2L should be able to be used a year later. We would recommend doing a trench treatment with either one of those products to ensure it lasts in the soil for a while. The Dursban should not lessen the effectiveness of either product.
October 8, 2014
Michael from Los Angeles, Ca asked:
QPerimeter trench every 10 years for termites vs. ant perimeter treatment every 6 months
Per the instructions, a perimeter treatement in a trench is recommended for termite prevention, vs. a perimeter treatment (above-ground, as I understand) is recommended twice a year for ant treatment. I suspected that ants are entering my house from below the ground through cracks in the concrete slab. Would the trenched perimeter treatment every 10 yeears be effective for BOTH termites and ants?
A A trench treatment with Taurus SC will kill both termites and ants that travel through the treated soil. However, if the ant or termite colony is located directly under the slab of your home there is a possibility that they may not pass through the treated soil around the perimeter of your home as they come through a crack in the foundation. In order to kill ant or termite colonies located under the slab we would recommend drilling through the cracks in the foundation and inject the Taurus SC into the soil below foundation. You would drill a hole every 12 inches along the crack in the slab and use 4 gallons of the diluted Taurus solution per 10 linear feet.

Antonio from 1403 Winterwood Dr Allen,tx 75002 asked:
QIs it safe to spray Taurus SC in the switches and plugs instead of making holes on the walls to treat voids
A Taurus SC Termiticide is not safe to apply into any electrical outlet. It would be most effective injected into the galleries in the wood. When injecting Taurus into the walls you want to drill about 6 inches from the floor surface and between every wooden stud down the entire length of the wall. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
September 16, 2014 Bri asked:
QProperly Treating Attached Garage with Taurus SC
I have an attached garage with a living space above it. To properly treat with Taurus SC, do I trench along the two exterior walls, don't treat the garage entry area (where the wood garage door is), and drill holes (10-12 inches apart) in the interior where the (one) garage wall has living space on the other side?
If you are doing a termite barrier treatment (6 inch x 6 inch trench against the structure) with a termiticide such as Taurus SC around the entire pertimeter of the home, you will not need to drill those exterior walls. The trench will provide your protection. We highly suggest this method as opposed to just "spot treating" areas of the foundation. If you are not doing a termite barrier trench treatment, you will need treat those two exterior walls as you would that interior wall. Drill 1/2 inch holes 2-3 inches off the foundation wall every 10-12 inches along the entire length of the wall. Pour 4 gallons of mixed solution in the holes for every 10 linear feet along the exterior wall (3.2 ounces/4 gallons of water) Each hole will hold 1/2 gallon of solution.

Chris from Va asked:
QTermites in a Fence
I have found that termites have just begun infesting my fence. Is this the correct product for treatment? I have seen that it should be applied around the foundation, however my fence is about 50 feet from my house.
Taurus SC is NOT labeled to be used around fences. You can drill into the fence, but you would need to know exactly where the termites are. For fences, we would recommend a product called Bora-Care. Apply only to bare wood or to wood surfaces where an intact water repellent or finish is not present. Remove paint or finish prior to application. Apply one coat of solution to all wood surfaces. Apply two coats to heavily infested areas and to those surfaces where access is limited to 1 or 2 sides of wood members. For an active infestation, you will use 1 gallon of Bora-Care to 1 gallon of water.
July 24, 2014
Chris from Houston, Tx asked:
QWhat application method is best for treatment of ants?
To treat ghost ants crawling around, on, and into my foundation, should I trench or just apply a perimeter spray? If the latter, what application rate should be used (i.e., how many fl. oz. per linear foot of a spray band three feet up the wall and one foot out from the foundation)? Thanks
June 6, 2014
Joel from Miami, Florida asked:
QCan I use Taurus SC to fog within the walls? And if so how much would I need for a 5,000 sq ft home?
Treating Drywood termites
A Taurus SC is not labeled to be used in a fogger and when using to treat for drywood termites you have to treat the infestation directly by drilling into the infested wood and spraying into the gallery. It does not penetrate into wood so would not reach the termites that are in the wood unless done this way. We suggest using Bora-Care since it is the #1 treatment on the market for dry wood termites. You would typically just spray it on the surface of the wood and the Bora-Care will penetrate through the wood and kill the termites inside. Also, since Bora-Care is a wood treatment product, it will stay in the wood forever and protect it forever.
May 25, 2014
Kaleb from Edmond, Ok asked:
QDoes Taurus SC bond to soil like Termidor does? and does a foaming agent need to be used for application?
Do I need to add a foaming agent to spot treat inside wall voids or is a standard garden/yard, pump up sprayer application sufficient to spray inside the walls?
A Yes the Taurus does bond to the soil the same as the Termidor to acheive the same protection of your home. You do not have to have a foamer and foaming agent to mix with the Taurus and can use it by itself in a standard pump sprayer for wall void spot treatments. While a foam will give you further coverage behind the wall, it is not necessary. If you haven't purchased the products yet, you could get a can of Termidor foam or Premise Foam to use where you plan to spot treat so you dont have to purchase a foaming applicator and foam agent.

4 bedroom, 3 bathroom newly renovated villa with a view of the Mediterranean sea
Superb villa, only ten years old, and newly renovated in the spring of 2014.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood in the magnificent St Paul region on the Côte d'Azur, the property has dawn-till-dusk sunlight and full privacy. The terraced gardens with olive trees provide a peaceful atmosphere and augments the view towards the sea.
Only a short 15 minutes drive from the airport in Nice and 10 min from beaches, the villa comes with all amenities, including fully air-conditioned bedrooms, two of which have access to a private terrace on the upper level. Two of the bedrooms, the master bedroom on the main floor and the remaining bedroom upstairs, both have en-suite bathrooms. In addition, the master bedroom has direct access to a terrace and to the pool area.
With an infinity salt water swimming pool flowing into the breathtaking panoramic sea view, the outside area is perfect for relaxing in the sun, cooking up a barbecue in the outside summer kitchen, or splashing around with friends and family.
The garage features parking for two to three cars, depending on the size, and also contains several games like 'jeux de boule' - which can be played on the 'jeux-de-boule' field on the property - and ping pong.

Hi Speed broadband is available throughout the villa with ensured wifi signal through the extensive router setup.

Local police have now agreed to work together in order to try and put a stop to the hellish campaign
A 53-year-old man from Northamptonshire is in police custody over the leaflets branding gay people 'worthy of death' in Chester earlier this week.
The leaflets, distributed in several UK towns and cities about to host Pride events, describe homosexuality as 'not natural' and 'part of the same moral degradation as...pedophilia.'
Some eyewitnesses of the person or people giving out the leaflets say they are being handed out dressed in a 'mysterious monk' outfit.
Is a religious extremist group deliberately targeting LGBTI pride celebrations in the hope of inciting hatred and violence?
Hate groups hoping to incite violence against British LGBTI people may be targeting UK pride events.
That's what Gay Star News has discovered after investigating the distribution of homophobic leaflets last weekend in Lincoln, Preston and Chester – three regional English towns.
19 year-old Floyd Evans stabbed a gay man in the chest at a well-known meeting spot for gay men, which the judge condemned as a 'disgraceful' homophobic attack
A UK teen will serve a 14-year sentence for stabbing a gay man in the chest in a brutal homophobic attack (20 May).
Floyd Evans, 19, stabbed Francisco Nascimento in the chest on 21 October 2013 in Cheshire, UK.
The judge told the court Evans was guilty of a homophobic attack, as the two men met near the City Walls, which is a well-known meeting point for gay men.
Floyd Evans met victim Francisco Nascimento at a local meeting point for gay men and viciously stabbed him in the heart after chatting to him
A British teenager has been convicted of stabbing a gay man in the heart, in a suspected homophobic attack.
Floyd Evans, 19, stabbed 35-year-old Francisco Nascimento from Brazil in the heart on 21 October 2013 in Cheshire, UK.
The Chester Chronicle reports that Evans was found not guilty of attempted murder but will face a charge of wounding with intent.
Two men aged 26 have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 63-year-old man has died from blunt force trauma to the head
A gay grandad was 'beaten to death' outside a gay bar in Chester, a post mortem has revealed.
Ronald Hayes, 63, suffered serious injuries following an assault near Liverpool Arms Bar at around 12.50am on Saturday 23 November.
Cheshire Police have confirmed Hayes has died of 'blunt force trauma to the head'.
Two men, both aged 26, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
They have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Hayes had been enjoying an evening in the Liverpool Arms Bar when he was attacked after leaving the premises.
A Christian therapist who was found guilty of professional misconduct for using 'gay cure' method has found support from the Church
Church of England bishops have supported a Christian counsellor who tried to 'cure' an undercover journalist who asked to be treated for his homosexuality.
Former archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, Bishop of Chester the Rt Rev Peter Forster and Bishop of Lewes the Rt Rev Wallace Benn are among senior church figures who have signed a letter of support for the 60-year-old psychotherapist Lesley Pilkington.

Armory Mod 1.0.3 M.S.O 1.0.1 Merge HOTFIX #2Apr 29, 2012 Patch 6 comments
Fixed more issues and crashes concerning "stalker_neutral_ecolog_1" and "stalker_neutral_ecolog_2" so now the game should be fully rid of those. new game...
Work has stopped indefinitely. Thanks for riding along side the mod, and happy hunting stalkers
What This Does
This mod adds lots of new armors, almost all of them can be bought at Owl in skadovsk.
NPCs use these armors too and you'll see veteran stalkers wearing modified military suits and so on, Often just other Camo versions of their vanilla counterpart.
Happy Hunting, stalker!
18 new armors, all of which can be purchased at Owl according to your progress in the game or rank.
Stalkers now wear all the armor implemented, except the 5 special armors which can only be bought from Owl.
2 Mercenary variations (From Build 1935)
2 Freedom variations (from ShoC)
1 Duty Variation (From Build 1935)
1 Bandit Variation
2 Loner Variations
3 new player armors
Added 4 completely new outfits (Thanks to the guys on the AMK forums)
Added 2 new loner variations
Added new bandit variations and replaced the vanilla sunrise suit
Stalkers wear implemented armor, several new suits
OPTIONAL Kaplan's weapon mod
GSC Gameworld
The talented modelers and gents of the AMK forums, if i could speak russian i'd salute you.
AMK Credit list:
Lenya Banshee
Armory Mod 1.0.3 and previous versions are fully available as a mod resource, so long as you only use the models i have made in this mod, not the ones from the AMK forum (refer to me if you want to know what models were borrowed and what were made by me) If you want to use the models from the AMK forum, refer to the various authors listed above on the credit list for usage.
the majority of the models included in this mod belong to their respective owners (GSC Gameworld for all the stalker models, and the modders of the AMK forum, as an example) However i make/edit/enhance textures and the occasional model, as well implementing the models in the game either as NPCs or player armors.
0 comments by Simbalime on May 9th, 2012
So i recently got a few complaints about the mod crashing the game because it looks for the model in the wrong place. This issue should only occur in the M.S.O merge and can be fixed by the latest HOTFIX. I recently got a negative review due to these crashes, so just to clarify there is a HOTFIX available here on the site and it should fix the problem, so download it and install, and enjoy the mod.
I deeply apologize for this stupid bug which is really my fault, found a section in one of the files where i got really sloppy while testing, which resulted in the crashes that are bugging the M.S.O merge. To clarify even more, M.S.O is not at all involved with this crash, it is solely caused by a mistake in one of the Armory Mod files, so any and all complaints regarding Armory Mod 1.0.3 M.S.O Merge should be directed to me, not Trojanuch.
Happy hunting!
Fixed more issues and crashes concerning "stalker_neutral_ecolog_1" and "stalker_neutral_ecolog_2" so now the game should be fully rid of those. new game...
Fixes a stupid bug (totally my bad) where the game looks for a model in the wrong place and crashes.
A long overdue merge with the latest versions of both M.S.O and Armory Mod. Install on top of M.S.O installation. This version is the recommended way...
The first early release of Armory Mod 1.0.3 which adds faction variations. Enjoy!
A merge with Trojanuch's M.S.O (Massive Simulation Overhaul)so you finally have a use for these armors!
New update! with completely new outfits from the AMK forum! 2 new loner variations! To Do: M.S.O Merge
Reckon you could include recoloured icons to help recognition in the next update? Thanks! Great mod btw.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'm working on that in 1.0.3 but for now its only the vanilla variations that get new icons, as the new meshes require completely new icons. I'm glad you liked the mod!
:) I just wish it was easy to merge mods like this with conversions. SWartz mod + Armory + AF3 is the dream.
Yeah, i get you :)
I'm actually planning to make a model index so that modders can merge Armory with their mods easier.
Thats good to hear :) I've completed all the missions in Zaton in this playthrough but Owl still sells the same old 'recoloured suits'. What is the yellow jacket with the gp-5 mask called? BTW- Did you see my WIP GP-5 mod?
[error]Expression : no_assert
[error]Function : CXML_IdToIndex<class CSpecificCharacter>::GetById
[error]File : d:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrserverentities \xml_str_id_loader.h
[error]Line : 112
[error]Description : item not found, id
[error]Arguments : sim_default_stalker_sci_2_default_3
(I had to put a space in-between xrserverentities and \xml_str_id_loader.h because of stupid character length) I'm getting this error when trying to go to Zaton after installing this mod :(
(I'm using M.S.O with the Merge version of this mod)
"[error]Arguments : sim_default_stalker_sci_2_default_3"
I've seen this error before, it commonly occurs with the M.S.O Merge, including one not made by me. So i'm assuming that somewhere in the M.S.O files there are some conflicts with Armory Mod. Trojanuch (Creator of M.S.O/P.G.R) Is working on officially merging my mod with his, so when his work is done my patch is obsolete. Thats all i can do to help, i'm afraid.
Is this mod compatible with M.S.U. 2?
is it possible to make this compatible with call of pripyat complete?
With a bit of tweaking, yes it is :)

Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski told 97.5 The Fan in Philly that he wouldn't be happy about Alabama head coach Nick Saban returning to the NFL. "I'm not a Saban guy, because I don't like liars, and I think he lied," said Jaworski, via al.com. "I think he lied to the Miami Dolphins, and to the fans of Miami, and he left. And it's pretty simple, I think integrity is very important, if you don't have integrity, I don't know how you can be successful. Yeah, I know he's great at Alabama, and he'll probably win another national championship, but I just don't like people that don't have integrity, so it's pretty easy for me to say I don't want Nick Saban in town." In my short time of covering pro football, I've never heard so many bad things about a head coach, like I've heard about Saban.

Kampmann submitted the former welterweight title contender with
a third-round guillotine choke for an improbable victory in the UFC
on FX 2 headliner on Friday at the Allphones Arena in Sydney,
Australia. Submitted for the first time in more than six years,
Alves tapped out 4:12 into round three, 48 precious seconds shy of
what would have been his second straight win.
Kampmann drew first blood in a figurative sense, as he drilled
Alves with a magnificent front kick to the chin 90 seconds into the
match. The blow rattled the Brazilian and sent him into retreat
mode. However, Alves rebounded and answered with a late takedown,
securing full mount before uncorking elbows and punches from top
position. The Alves foothold only deepened in the second round, as
he found a home for left hooks, right uppercuts and his trademark
leg kicks.
"I'll be honest. Thiago caught me with some good shots," Kampmann
said. "I wanted to strike with him, but I wanted to take him down,
as well. He's got really good takedown defense. Usually when I get
people on the fence, I can take them down, but he's got good
Round three seemed destined to follow a similar narrative. Alves
fired a searing right hand into the Dane's face and backed him into
the cage.
"I felt I was behind," Kampmann said. "I was eating too many
punches going into the clinch. The plan was to fight from the
outside and then box my way in. I did a couple of times, but I
wasn't getting into my flow the way I wanted. I caught him with
that kick in the beginning, but I didn't capitalize on it.
Instead of following with punches, the American Top Team ace went
for an ill-advised takedown. It was the opening for which Kampmann
had waited. Before Alves knew it, Kampmann had him trapped in a
standing guillotine. The two welterweights collapsed to the mat,
Kampmann in full mount, the choke still in place. With no escape,
Alves conceded defeat.
"Usually, [in that situation] I don't like to go for a submission,
because, like in the first round, he ended up on top and he was
staying really heavy with his hips and keeping me down," Kampmann
said. "I felt that I really had to finish the fight, and it
wouldn't do me any good to keep it standing. I just squeezed [the
guillotine], because I knew that was my window, and I didn't want
to miss it."
"I felt like I would bring power to this division," he said. "The
first thing people say is that the [flyweight division] isn't going
to have power; these guys don't finish. But I was rocking everyone
at [bantamweight], and I think this is going to be a sign of things
to come in the flyweight division."
Outside of a few counter right hands, Urushitani (19-5-6, 0-1 UFC)
was not a factor in the fight. Benavidez secured a takedown late in
the first round, moved to mount and eventually transitioned to his
opponent's back. The rear-naked choke followed, but Urushitani
survived until the horn sounded.
Benavidez roared out of his corner in the second round and
countered a kick with a right hook that permanently altered the
complexion of the fight. Urushitani, who had never before been
finished by strikes, went down with Benavidez in pursuit. A series
of rights and lefts finished it there.
"I knew he threw a lot of kicks, and that's a perfect time to
counter somebody," Benavidez said. "Like I said, I have great power
at [135 pounds], and at flyweight, that's just how it's going to
Demetrious Johnson
Johnson drawed Ian McCall.
"Commission screwed up scorecards Johnson vs. McCall was a draw,"
White wrote on Twitter. "Should have been a 4th rd. BRUTAL."
Because of the mistake in scoring, the sudden death round the UFC
had instituted to avoid such a situation did not come into play,
and the bout was ruled a draw. Johnson and McCall will meet in a
semifinal rematch sometime in the next few months.
Backed by his blinding speed, Johnson was the more effective
striker throughout, and he stood up McCall with a number of right
hands. "Uncle Creepy" responded with takedowns and strong clinch
work, which featured dirty boxing and knees to the body. Johnson
held a two-rounds-to-none advantage on two of the three scorecards
entering round three, and he needed the cushion.
McCall went for broke in the third, as he struck for multiple
takedowns, flattened out "Mighty Mouse" and ultimately mounted the
Hume understudy with a little more than half a minute remaining
on the clock. He closed in a most dominant position, planted on
Johnson's back as he blasted him with punches. However, it was not
enough to sway the decision in his favor, and McCall (11-2-1, 0-1-1
UFC) settled for a draw.
"I've got to give it up to Ian McCall,"
Johnson said. "I thought I won the first two rounds, but he came on
in the last round and put it on me, so hat's off to him.
"I wasn't close to getting finished," he added. "I kept on pushing
through. I knew I had the first two rounds in the bag. I just kept
moving and gave the judges a thumb's up to let them know I was OK
and that the punches didn't hurt. He's making a clown out of
himself like he's riding me like a donkey, but I wasn't out."
McGee (14-2, 3-1 UFC) entered the cage on an eight-fight winning
streak but never got in gear. Philippou seemed to answer every one
of his punches with three or four of his own. More importantly, the
former Ring of Combat champion denied McGee's advances and attempts
to move the fight to the floor. On the feet, Philippou wielded the
quicker, more powerful hands, and, outside of a few exceptions, he
routinely beat his opponent to the punch.
McGee did his best work in round three, where he emptied his clip
with head kicks, jumping knees, spinning elbows and spinning back

Tasty wraps, rolls big enough for a meal at Wrap O Roll
Restaurant review: Wrap O Roll offers traditional Vietnamese dishes in a contemporary setting.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Wrap O RollVietnamese
925 S. Jackson St., Seattle
Hours: 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sundays-Thursdays,
10 a.m.-10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Etc: Major credit cards accepted; ample parking; no obstacles to access; beer and wine available.
Prices: $-$$
Even though the name sounds like a fast-food stop in your favorite mall's food court, Wrap O Roll in the Chinatown International District is far from it.
The contemporary restaurant, which opened in August, offers traditional Vietnamese dishes and specializes in wraps and rolls. Unlike appetizer-size rolls, these concoctions are easily large enough for an entire meal.
The menu: The wraps and rolls are what the restaurant is known for, but the menu also includes traditional cuisine, from rice dishes to pho noodles. The rolls are about $5; everything else is in the $8 to $12 range.
What to write home about: The Thi Nuong Cuon is barbecue pork rolled in rice paper and stuffed with vermicelli noodles, lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts and mint. It's accompanied by a house-made peanut sauce.
The Banh Xeo is a pan-fried rice flour crepe, which looks like a large omelet, flavored with coconut milk and filled with shrimp, sliced pork and vegetables. You wrap it all up in lettuce leaves and dip into a fish sauce.
But don't stop there. The rice and noodle dishes are just as good. The Com Tho Ga features rice and chicken cooked in a clay pot and served with pickled vegetables, which add a little heat when you combine them. And the Bun Bo Xao Xa Ot mixes stir-fried beef with lemon grass over vermicelli noodles.
The setting: In an area known for traditional Asian décor, Wrap O Roll takes a more modern approach, with its gray-and-red color scheme and dark wood furniture. The presentation of the food is as much of an art as the decorations on the wall.
Summing up: Two rolls, a wrap, rice dish, noodle dish, appetizer and two drinks — enough to feed four people — came to $45. The menu is easy to follow, the parking is plentiful and the waitstaff is friendly.

"In his time at Wayfair, Steve has been a key driver of the company's rapid growth and success," said Niraj Shah, Wayfair CEO and co-founder. "He has tremendous insight into our supplier network and is dedicated to building an exceptional shopping experience. As we accelerate our rollout of private label brands and create a larger scale site merchandising strategy, I am confident that Steve is the right person to lead the charge for Wayfair.com."

In addition, he supervised the company's AllModern and Wayfair Supply businesses as well as taking a lead roll in building out Wayfair.com's Daily Sales program, a flash sale venture.

Hennessy Black: A Moment with Ben Clymer of HODINKEE
In 2008, Ben Clymer hung up his hat as Project Manager at UBS to focus full-time on editorial pursuits under his web-based platform HODINKEE. With a passion for discovering unique timepieces, the then fledgling blog has since built itself to be one of the go-to mainstays for the industry's most noteworthy inventions. Delivering unique content via it's multimedia channels, Clymer and his cohort of watch critics present in-depth interviews, reports and reviews, whether its a conversation with vintage sports watch collectors or putting the Rolex Submariner 1680 to test via a deep-sea dive trip in the British Virgin Islands. As an extension of the webpage, Clymer also creates limited-edition wristwatch accessories sold exclusively via HODINKEE's e-boutique store. In conjunction with Hennessy Black, we caught up with the New York-based editor to learn more about how he turned his passion into a career, and the necessary traits needed to be successful.
Can you introduce yourself and what you do?
My name is Ben Clymer, I'm the founder of a watch blog called HODINKEE. I essentially fly around the world to discover all the latest new releases from the best Swiss, German, and Japanese watchmakers, and then report on them via HODINKEE. I also go out and chase fantastic vintage pieces that may not have been discovered yet. We try to tell their stories in an interesting way. In addition to the blog, HODINKEE also designs, produces, and sells hand-made accessories for people interested in watches and other mechanical things.
Where does your interest in watches stem from? What sort of emotional connection do you have with a timepiece?
I was always fascinated by mechanical things. I remember when I was six or seven, my Dad, who was a photographer, gave me a light meter. And I just loved this handheld object with a giant gauge in the middle. From there it was compasses, and eventually watches. When I was 16, my grandfather gave me the mechanical watch off his wrist – an Omega Speedmaster. That present set off the obsession.
What drew you to starting your own blog? Would you still consider HODINKEE a blog?
It was out of just a love for writing and photographing, and for the watches themselves. It was never intended to be a business. I was bored at my old job as a project manager at UBS. I don't really consider it a blog, it's much more than that. But then again I don't get upset if people call it one. I went to journalism school, we produce beautiful original multimedia packages that put anything in the print world to shame. This has helped build my editorial ethics with HODINKEE. Because we're online, people call us a blog. It doesn't really do us justice but anyone who calls us a blog just doesn't get it. They will, though.
Was it like flipping a switch when you started HODINKEE?
Not at all. It was a long process and a real hustle. I wouldn't say we really took off until about two years ago, after I finished graduate school, almost 4 years into the project.
What motivated you/inspired you to pursue HODINKEE full-time?
For the first time in my life I really loved what I was doing. There's so much that could and should be changed about the way luxury handled digital media. It just made sense to keep pushing.
What are some long-term goals you aim to accomplish? How far along would you say you are?
I just want to create a platform that lets new people explore the world of mechanical art, and do it in an educated way. I want HODINKEE to be the digital ambassador for watches for generations, to teach people in an insightful, interactive way. We are getting there, and you'll see a total redesign and re-launch in the coming months to help this happen. There is still a lot left to discover.
Could you describe the traits necessary to be successful when there's uncertainty ahead?
You have to be able to do everything, and anything. Whether its a private dinner with the CEO of Cartier or hauling a box of envelopes up seven flights of stairs, you just have to be reactive. Don't be judgmental, be open to everyone and everything. When you judge other people, that's how you miss out on learning from them. Be open.
Where do you go to for inspiration and knowledge?
I surround myself with people I respect. I don't know the most about any one topic, but I know a lot about many topics. I think that's a great way to go through life. When I develop interest towards a new topic, I become friendly with whomever is the leading expert and learn all I can.
Beyond work, how do you make time to relax and decompress? How often do you make time to unwind?
I don't have much time to decompress. But when I do, it's usually by discovering the area around New York by car. I love to drive, and there are so many beautiful things to see even within 2 hours of NYC.
How do you enjoy your Hennessy Black?
I usually have it on the rocks or as a Manhattan.
How does time away from work and the grind put you in the right frame of mind for progress?
It's really difficult, especially because we're online and live all the time. It takes something or someone really special in order to separate.
What's on the checklist when you're looking for a new spot to hang out at?
I am over the point of where I want to be at a place that people are talking about. I want something comfortable, well designed, and cool.
What are some places you recently discovered that are on the cusp of blowing up?
There are some amazing coffee spots in Geneva and Paris that are doing great things. The idea of artisanal coffee doesn't really exist in Europe like it does in the US. Coffee is just "good" in Europe. Soon, we'll see the slow roasted SF and Brooklyn style cafe hit and blow up in Paris and Geneva.

HYPEBEAST Spaces: The Porsche Museum
Having opened its doors early 2009, the Delugan Meissl-designed Porsche Museum was built with the intentions of educating and inspiring visitors by virtue of the automotive manufacturer's 80-plus years of history, and with the help of some of the most beautifully-designed sports cars of our time. Sitting on three large V-shaped columns, the colossal 5,600 square-metre building offers the illusion of floating and was designed to attract visitors in a welcoming manner. The Porsche Museum is comprised of four main sectors; The Museum on Wheels, an ever-changing exhibition that sees a different focus on the various 520 models on hand; The Archive, 2,000 meters of shelf-space dedicated to the preserving of Porsche history; The Workshop, an open area where master craftsmen and mechanics work on the prized inventory; and finally, The Shop, a treasure trove to any enthusiast looking to take a bit of the Porsche brand back home with them. For those that have never had a chance to visit the museum, the video above should give you a better look at the ongoing commitments the brand has towards educating the public on its rich history.

Re: Tell me a little bit about Post-op for Scoliosis?
When I was close to getting my surgery, I was told that the immediate post op pain was 'unbearable'; however, you are given lots of painkillers! In fact, I barely remember any of my week in hospital or the 6 weeks recovery!
Nowadays, I hardly ever get pain, only if I twist too extremely! And even then it's not pain, just discomfort.
The hump on your ribs should go away if they operate on them which is always a bonus. Actually, that's one of the only things I do remember: for the first week, your ribs tend to click when you breathe haha!
But apart from that it's just a great surgery and the pain afterwards is virtually non-existent in comparison to what a lot of people feel pre-op! x

Facebook reveals revenue, profit slide ahead of IPO
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc reported its first quarter-to-quarter revenue slide in at least two years, a sign that the social network's sizzling growth may be cooling as it prepares to go public in the biggest ever Internet IPO.
The company blamed the first-quarter decline, which surprised some on Wall Street, on seasonal advertising trends.
"It was a faster slowdown than we would have guessed," said Brian Wieser, an analyst with Pivotal Research Group.
"No matter how you slice it, for a company that is perceived as growing so rapidly, to slow so much on whatever basis - sequentially or annually - it will be somewhat concerning to investors if faced with a lofty valuation," Wieser said.
Facebook is preparing to raise at least $5 billion in an initial public offering that could value the world's largest social network at up to $100 billion.
"The biggest issue is the realization that Facebook is not going to have an easy time meeting high expectations of the public market," said Jeff Sica, chief investment officer of SICA Wealth Management, which manages more than $1 billion in client assets, real estate and private equity holdings. "It will affect how people look at the IPO."
Investors are still likely to sign up in droves for the IPO; However, growth concerns may make some investors less likely to keep the stock over the long term, he added.
"I'm still encouraging people to participate in the IPO, under the acknowledgement that it could be a bumpy ride," Sica said. "There are high expectations and I hate high expectations."
The company, founded by Mark Zuckerberg in a Harvard University dorm room in 2004, surpassed 900 million monthly active users in the first quarter and said its full-time staff grew by about 1,100 employees to 3,539 in the past 12 months, according to an updated filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
Facebook also disclosed that it has agreed to pay Instagram $200 million if the company's recent deal to buy the photo-sharing start-up for about $1 billion does not go through.
Facebook said it paid $300 million in cash for Instagram, along with 23 million shares of Class B common stock. It said the fair value of its Class B common stock was $30.89 per share as of January 31.
Spending roughly doubled over the past 12 months, outpacing the 45 percent revenue increase during the period, it said.
Net income slid 12 percent to $205 million in the quarter, from $233 million a year earlier at the rapidly expanding company.
Facebook said its advertising business, which accounts for the bulk of its revenue, typically slows down in the first three months of the year. The rapid advertising growth may have "partially masked" such trends to date, and seasonal impacts may be more pronounced in the future, it noted.
Revenue, which totaled $1.06 billion in the three months ended March 31, declined 6 percent from the fourth quarter. It was the first quarter-on-quarter drop since at least 2010.
"It was bound to happen. You are going to see a slowdown," said Anupam Palit, an analyst at GreenCrest Capital LLC, noting that it is harder to double revenue when the base is larger.
But he also said Facebook has not worked out how to make more money in some international markets where it is growing the fastest, such as Brazil, India and the Philippines.
"They have not cracked international markets yet, while others like Google (GOOG.O) do very well internationally," Palit added.
Apart from slowing growth, Facebook is also grappling with other issues. Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) is suing it for patent infringement even as the social networking company tries to beef up its intellectual property arsenal. On Monday, it said it would pay $550 million for hundreds of patents from Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O). <ID:L2E8FN7YT>
Facebook gets most of its revenue from advertising, but has a Payments business centered around Facebook Credits, a virtual currency used mainly to buy virtual goods within social games.
However, the company hinted at a possible an expansion of Facebook Credits into other areas.
Facebook gets a cut of up to 30 percent from virtual goods sales on its platform.
"In the future, if we extend Payments outside of games, the percentage fee we receive from developers may vary," the company said in its IPO filing on Monday.
Some investors expect e-commerce to be a major area of expansion for Facebook. Some industry experts said that if Facebook Credits were used for purchases of physical goods, the company's cut would have to be a lot lower than 30 percent.

Philadelphia rapper Cassidy recently spoke on his short-lived Twitter feud with former comrade Meek Mill and why the Maybach Music Group artist made a smart decision by falling back on a potential full-fledged battle.
Cass said despite their viral war of words, he did not feel the need to drop an atom bomb-like diss on Meek's head.
"I didn't feel as though enough was done for him to deserve a diss record yet. He's going to really have to get out-of-pocket, put me in a song or say something crazy to get a diss record." Warned Cassidy, "I would advise him not to do it, because if he jumps in the ring with me, it's going to be problems. He knows what I'm capable of, and he knows how I get it in, so I don't blame him for backing out. If I was him, I would have backed out, too." (AHH)
Last week, Cass denied his new "Diary of a Hustla" track is aimed at Meek.
"That's because it wasn't a diss record," Cass said when asked why he did not go harder on Meek with "Diary of a Hustla." "I just put it out a couple hours after we went through that Twitter situation so everybody called it a Meek diss but it wasn't. It was just a record I just put out to give the streets some bars. If I do a diss record, it's going to be on the 'Ether' level if not worse. It's gonna be direct, you gonna know it's a diss record, you gonna know who I'm talking about. That was a little record I threw out there for the streets to keep them fed." ("The Breakfast Club")
He also explained why Meek is ultimately responsible for making him respond.
"I was in the studio the other day and I found out he's talking crazy on Twitter — I'm thinking like, 'Wow.' Years and years ago, when he was in middle school, I had plaques on my wall. I got platinum singles everybody got their own opinion, it's cool, he's got his little wave right now, to a certain extent but I been did that. I been laid that groundwork for my city." ("The Breakfast Club")
Although Mill did not address him direclty, he reportedly laughed off Cass' track.
"That had 2 b a warm up! Lol," Meek tweeted November 15th. (Meek Mill's Twitter)
"@MeekMill I f*ck with you on some real sh*t, but Cassidy went in on that diss "Diary Of A Hustla".," Twitter user @SamDhaillest tweeted in response to Meek.
"RT @MeekMill That had 2 b a warm up! Lol — what u got then??? We waiting for the response homes," Twitter user @DJCrazyC tweeted in response to Meek.
