Dear Luxanna
Senior Member
"What is wrong with you?" Lux asked. "Yeah, the guy who jumps on Ziggs' grenade so his four teammates can go win is being ultimately self serving, so what? Is it so wrong to have a self serving desire for peace and utopia, or as close to utopia as is possible? I don't get what you oppose about me."
"Absolutely nothing, dear. You just proved my point. People are self serving, and your idea of a utopia, and of peace, is different to mine. Unless you are able to let go of everything that makes a human a human, self preservation and so forth, then people are going to continue being who they are and the idea of peace and utopia is the fevered dream of an idiot with a brain tumor." LeBlanc pointed at Lux, her grin widening and parting to show teeth. "You keep your idealistic views and your notions of righteousness and justice, and fail, because you believe in the idea of a utopia. The want for a utopia itself belongs to children and to those who yearn for something impossible. Look at the League, how long will this last, Crownguard? So you go ahead. You've proven me right, and you continue your blustering and your whining that everyone else is wrong while you are right. Let you try and think about how peace and a utopia could possibly exist in a non-perfect world..." The Deceiver flicked her fingers upwards, the knife disappeared in a puff of butterflies. "While I? I know what needs to be done, and I will see that it is done. Will that be all, little Miss Crownguard, or should I cackle maniacally and describe a seethingly evil plan to which you can attempt to thwart?"
LeBlanc stared at Lux, completely unamused, but completely bored. She raised her two hands up in front of her and started to chant a song, "Little Bunny Foo Foo, hopping through the forest. Scooping up the field mice and boppin' 'em on the head. Down came the good fairy and she said 'Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you scooping up the field mice and boppin' 'em on the head. I'll give you three chances, and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!'" The Deceiver tilted her head at Lux, her demeanor completely serious. "Do you know what happens at the end of the song, or should I sing the rest out to you? It was not me at war with Demacia at any given point in time, it was all Darkwill who did. What could I do? And now, are we at war? I think not. Even then, even then! Demacia still has done an atrocity that no Noxian can ever forgive. Have you ever wondered why the war even began, between us? Maybe there's an actual reason, maybe there's more to your history than you realize! Maybe, just maybe, it's Demacia's fault it's the way things are now. I assure you, it was not my fault. I never started the war, I could do nothing to dissuade it, I can only do so much. I am not a god, nor a ruler. I am a simple matron. What do you expect from me?" She folded her hands onto her lap and glared at Lux. "Here's a clue for you: Fiora Laurent, Katarina DuCouteau, Emilia LeBlanc. What do they all have in common?" LeBlanc leaned forward, "Here's the hint: If I speak to them in an ancient language, they will understand word for word. You, however, fille qui vomit la bêtise non stop, will not put forth such an effort. So, once more, thank you for proving me right my little Foo Foo." LeBlanc raised a hand to her face, staring at her nails. "And let's just say for fun, you're inching onto your third chance now, dear."
"...you threaten me for talking?" Lux asked. "All I was trying to do is... bah, nevermind. Wouldn't want to have a civil discussion." She shook her head, and began to walk off.
"Threaten? Me? You? Tsk tsk tsk, dear!" LeBlanc laughed. "You are so adorable, you know that? I don't threaten, dear, that would imply there's a chance of you escaping. No, if this were a talk, then you'd have brought up points that made me think. Bring something new to the table, then perhaps you can do something more than bore me. I've heard all of this and more, before, from other Demacians." LeBlanc waved at Lux while she reclined herself down and onto a couch. "Tell you what, if you are able to bring something up that I have not considered, then I could perhaps consider having a proper discussion with you. Until then, you're just another brick in the wall."
Great Aether
((Today I played LeBlanc. I enjoyed bursting down Lux.))
Lux stopped, and turned around. "LeBlanc, damn it!" She protested. "I'm just trying to understand. I'm not trying to introduce new points, I'm trying to figure out what YOU want!"

February 2, 2015 Dear Parents and Community Members: As many of you know, there will be a referendum placed on the ballot for voter approval to sell bonds to finance the building of a new high school in Delavan. The existing high school has served the district, community, and the students well since it was built in 1922. However, the building has reached the point after over 90 years when the costs to upgrade, repair, and accommodate students have approached the cost to build a new modern building.

Latest Joe Vinson Stories
A study funded by a company which produces an extract from green coffee beans has found that this substance can help lower and even control blood sugar levels. This extract is taken from green and unroasted coffee beans and is sold as a powerful antioxidant to regulate blood sugar levels and improve other body functions.
According to new evidence, unroasted coffee beans may be able to play a big role in those who are trying to lose weight.
Popcorn's reputation as a healthy snack food was bolstered even further Sunday with the release of a study that discovered the popular movie-time munchies actually have more of a specific type of antioxidant than many fruits and vegetables.
The first study to check the effects of eating potatoes on blood pressure in humans has concluded that two small helpings of purple potatoes (Purple Majesty) a day decreases blood pressure by about 4 percent without causing weight gain.
A new scientific study positions walnuts in the No 1 slot among a family of foods that lay claim to being among Mother Nature's most nearly perfect packaged foods: Tree and ground nuts.
Popcorn and many breakfast cereals contain surprisingly large amounts of the antioxidant polyphenols, believed to reduce disease, U.S. researchers said.
Coffee provides more than just a morning jolt; that steaming cup of java is also the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Scranton (Pa.). Their study was described today at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.

Jem'Hadar Outfit (KDF)
I thought to have read that with upgrading the MK XI Set it gives you the look of a Jem'Hadar Soldier when you put it on.
So i upgraded the set at my KDF Char through lobi store a couple of minutes ago, equipped all 3 parts and nothing happened. The visuals of the MK XII set are enabled but i still look like my tailor made outfit. Strange but, as i am writing this, a FED Alien char came across me on DS9 with the visuals shown. |

Bilal aims high. He packed huge aspirations into a short set at Pier 17 at South Street Seaport on Thursday, part of the early evening concert series sponsored by Sam Goody.
A 22-year-old songwriter from Philadelphia, Bilal (whose last name is Oliver) flirted with the women, empathized with the men's woman troubles, confessed his fears and hopes, eulogized the gangsta life and paid tribute to 1970's soul. He also lectured on jazz history, music education and self-reliance: ''When you do anything, know everything about it,'' he declared like a credo.
Bilal led his band through funk, ballads, jazzy swing and hard rock, sometimes switching in mid-song; his singing vaulted from a hearty baritone to a beseeching falsetto. He was multi-tasking, on the verge of attention deficit disorder, to live up to his musical heritage and ambitions. Bilal clearly wants a place as a combination sex symbol and omnivorous musician in the neo-soul lineage of James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Prince and D'Angelo. Like D'Angelo and other neo-soul experimenters, he is trying to rejoin the utopian ideals of 1970's soul with the gritty specificity of hip-hop.
Songs from his debut album, ''1st Born Second'' (Moyomusic/Inter scope), were elaborate and idiosyncratic, warping typical vamps with unexpected pauses and dissonances. The promises of ''For You,'' a catalog of the crimes and feats he would commit for a lover, arrived in music that seemed to hesitate and catch itself again and again. ''Sally,'' about a woman who took advantage of him, teetered between a circuslike P-Funk bounce and glimmers of New Orleans jazz.
He delivered the lyrics in improvisatory flights, reveling in a voice that can be rugged or delicate, sweet or penetrating. The core of Bilal's style comes from gospel preaching, at the cusp of speech and song. He poured out words, leaping ahead of the beat and then gliding back into the groove at the end of phrases. Meanwhile his backup singers harmonized on the insinuating hooks and choruses of his songs, responding like a church choir or a moaning lover.
Some songs were overstuffed, as if Bilal wanted to give the audience everything at once. ''I wish I didn't try so hard sometimes,'' he sang. But in the middle of the 50-minute set, he also took time for a 1970's funk and rhythm-and-blues medley, from the O'Jays to Earth Wind and Fire, which took the focus off his own songs, even as it revealed what he wants to emulate. He has a tendency to trade melody for embellishments, and he's still working on the pacing that will seduce an audience while he dazzles it. But his gifts and his potential are formidable.

The Gospel of Judas
By Rodolphe Kasser; Marvin Meyer (Editor); Gregor Wurst (Editor); Bart D. Ehrman (Editor); (Commentaries by)

For 1,600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history's ultimate traitor. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero.
In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus. He is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus.
This volume is the first publication of the remarkable gospel since it was condemned as heresy by early Church leaders, most notably by St. Irenaeus, in 180. Hidden away in a cavern in Middle Egypt, the codex (or book) containing the gospel was discovered by farmers in the 1970s. In the intervening years the papyrus codex was bought and sold by antiquities traders, hidden away, and carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble and restore it.
The Gospel of Judas has been translated from its original Coptic in clear prose, and is accompanied by commentary that explains its fascinating history in the context of the early Church, offering a whole new way of understanding the message of Jesus Christ.
Rodolphe Kasser, Ph.D., a professor emeritus on the Faculty of Arts at the University of Geneva, is one of the world's leading Coptologists. He has organized the restoration and prepared the editio princeps of Codex Tchacos, containing the Gospel of Judas and three other Coptic Gnostic texts.
Marvin Meyer, Ph.D., Griset Professor of Bible and Christian Studies at Chapman University and Director of the Chapman University Albert Schweitzer Institute, is one of the foremost scholars on Gnosticism, the Nag Hammadi Library and texts about Jesus outside the New Testament.
Gregor Wurst, Ph.D., is professor of Ecclesiastical History and Patristics at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
Bart D. Ehrman, Ph.D., is the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an expert on early Christianity.

Jesus says to Judas: "Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it. The star that leads the way is your star." –from The Gospel of Judas

Young Jeezy doesn't have a confirmed release date for his new album, 'TM103,' but his mixtape does. The Atlanta trap rap star has reunited with DJ Drama for a new mixtape called 'The Real Is Back,' due out tomorrow (May 28) at 1:03PM.
The mixtape will serve as an appetizer for Jeezy's long-delayed fourth album, which is now scheduled to hit stores sometime this summer, according to the Snowman. Although July 26 had been reported to be the album's proper release date, Def Jam representatives shot down those assertions.
Back around 2004, Drama had a hand in Jeezy's rise to rap prominence, after he featured the Snowman on his Gangsta Grillz series of mixtapes, including 'Trap or Die' and 'Can't Ban the Snowman.' The two had a falling out for a period of time but are now back on good terms.
'The Real Is Back' features 21 tracks and contributions from longtime CTE roster member Slick Pulla and latest signee Freddie Gibbs. Other notable guests include Fabolous on 'Rollin',' Yo Gotti on 'Flexin'' and Lil Wayne on Jeezy's current single 'Ballin'.'

In the space of six years, Indian business school SP Jain has managed to clinch a spot on the top 100 list of the Financial Times' (FT) Global MBA rankings this year.
UAE | Education
Dubai MBA gets top 100 ranking in FT list
The SP Jain business school's Dubai/Singapore programme was 68th in the Financial Times Global MBA list this year and the university ranks 7th in Asia.
- Image Credit: Oliver Clarke/ Gulf News
- SP Jain President Nitish Jain (right) talks to a Global MBA student at the university's campus in Dubai International Academic City.
The university's Dubai/Singapore Global MBA programme came 68th among the world's major business school players.
Apart from its Global MBA ranking highly, the Financial Times ranked the university 7th in Asia, 9th among Asian schools on "Value for Money" and 13th in Asia for "International Mobility" and "Placement Success". SP Jain has links in Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Shanghai and Sydney.
"Our core strength is that our programme is conducted in two cities and all students have to study in Dubai and Singapore to get global experiences — it's not an option," said SP Jain president Nitish Jain.
"Our philosophy is that if businesses have gone global then business schools, too, need to be global and graduates need a global perspective. This is where we stand out," Jain added.
Global MBAs, he said, are beneficial in career advancement and graduates move up the corporate ladder faster than those who don't have the qualification.
Value for money
An area that helped boost their position on the rankings table is the value for money offered compared to more expensive western schools. The Global MBA programme costs $35,000 (Dh128,450), which includes housing, and students average at 25 years old.
Another strength is in the university's placements and salaries — placement is 100 per cent after graduation and students get a 100 per cent rise in salary three years after graduating, Jain said. Commenting on how reliable rankings are in the business school arena, Jain said: "At the end of the day the rankings are certainly looked at by our applicants. This is how they gauge quality."
He explained that prospective students do not have a direct way to ascertain which university is better and rankings help them make up their mind. Therefore "if students look at it then we need to look at it as well if it attracts the best and brightest students", said Jain.
SP Jain is also looking at scoring high on other well-known ranking tables. "The interesting thing is that we're only six years old and that's the minimum age to even qualify. If you look at the top 100 schools, we're the youngest by a long distance." Jain said the university was proud that they had scored high as soon as they were eligible to apply.
The president said rankings were accurate as all the best schools are listed in the top 100. "We may have our own opinion that some should be ranked higher than other schools — all of us may have some argument for some ranking."
He suggests that applicants look at the rankings as representative and a guide of the best schools and not take too narrow a view as there are other criteria to consider when choosing a school.
Universities, with campuses in the UAE, that were also on the Global MBA top 100 list:
- London Business School: 1
- Insead: 4
- IE Business School: 8
- University of Chicago Booth: 12
- New York University, Stern: 15
- Duke University, Fuqua: 20
- Manchester Business School: 29
- City University
- Cass: 32
- Hult International Business School: 61

I think I need that tattooed on my wrist.
I did read both stories--very enlightening!--but I don't think I'm going to start any conversations, with either of them. It can't go anywhere good, at least not for me. I'm still struggling to climb out of this pit of low self-esteem, and being told that my low self-esteem is the cause of everyone's collective problems only makes me feel worse about myself. I can't figure out how to heal that without removing myself entirely from the situation. Quote:
I wish. My college degrees are in Art History and Medieval Studies. I wouldn't want to leave. |
I've never done the FWB thing before, so I'm not sure I was prepared to differentiate between those feelings. She has a whole lot of FWBs, and she seemed to consider our relationship as something more significant...and, in retrospect, it felt really good to stand out from the crowd. Quote:
I'm trying. I feel really socially isolated right now, but that will improve with time. I tried out for a banked-track roller derby league right after the breakup and made it (I'd only skated flat before), so I'm meeting lots of interesting people who yell at me to SKATE FASTER DAMMIT and GET MY ASS BACK ON THE TRACK. At least my new friends prefer physical pain over psychological. |
Also (and this sucks to admit), Ben and Ella are the only people, apart from Vino, who've openly shown any attraction to me in more than a decade. I have friends who've told me I'm objectively attractive, or who do the friendly-flirt thing, but they're also quick to disclaim any actual interest.
So, it really feels like that was as good as it's ever going to get, and it'll be at least another decade before anyone shows interest. I KNOW that's my low self-esteem and nasty past experiences talking, so please don't rip into me for it! But it's still incredibly difficult to move past that feeling, real or imagined. |
Both Ella and Ben sound extremely immature and into drama. How dare they put you down for any reason! Quote:
And remember this, and this is important: We human beings always pick up the unconscious messages of others, like radio waves. If there are people you hang out with who portray an uber-cool and confident vibe and you feel insecure and like your esteem is in the toilet when you're around them, know that you are actually detecting how they really feel about themselves underneath their fake, manufactured bravado. Truly confident, secure people who really have their shit together inspire those around them to feel the same. Honestly, that is the truth. We feel good about ourselves when we hang with others who feel good about themselves. If we feel shitty around people who appear to have it together, then you know they are faking it and what you are sensing is their insecurities.
The world opens up... when you do.

Odd conversation with Vino last night.
I brought up the topic of whether it would help or hurt to try dating right now. It made him shifty, so I asked why. The gist is that he's watched how upset this has made me, and doesn't really understand why I would want to bother starting another relationship with anyone else. He says it's exhausting. To be fair, he's pretty worn out from this, too. I've been improving, but I was pretty mopey for a while. He's sick to death of hearing about it, and it's been affecting our sex life, too (since I feel icky and undesirable and have been eating too much chocolate). I clarified things, of course. He's not at all jealous of me dating women, though he does seem to think they're all emotional basketcases at the moment. He is jealous of men, but he's determined that it's a very deep, basic hostility toward other men's fertility (to be fair, I get pregnant if a guy sneezes on me, so it's not a baseless fear), rather than an emotional fear of losing me. In short, he's cool with me dating eunuchs. But he just doesn't understand why I'd want to bother, with either. It really sounds overwhelming to him. He's very laid back and not particularly ambitious about anything, so it's not surprising. Unfortunately, I'm not happy unless I have an endlessly evolving array of hobbies and interests...so maybe it's not surprising that I'm not feeling quite "right" without additional social and sexual connections. He says he understands this about me. But I'm still worried what damage it might do to our marriage if I starting actively trying to date again--even if I limited myself to women. Me: Ya know, even with the problems, I did really enjoy having a "secondary" relationship. Vino: So...you liked having someone who sort of liked you, and was sort of there for you some of the time? Me: Um...yeah. I guess. |
Ha. Ivy, my guess is that you liked the idea of going against societal norms. But hey you can do that by re-investing in your marriage and finding ways to make that more exciting and fulfilling (so few couples do that, it would be going against the grain!). Why not spend time working on YOU, and satisfy that need for hobbies with things you like to do but which are not relationships? Why not take time out for peace and tranquility, go to some meditation retreat or something? Come back from self-exploration stronger and more comfy with YOU, and you will attract more mature, kind, loving people for additional relationships. I dare say the idiocy of those two, and the drama they created, could have something to do with, perhaps, a dissatisfaction on your part with living on an even keel. I have a friend like you, and I often kid him by saying "You can't hit a moving target, right?" Slow down, feel the hurt, confusion, sadness that is there as well as the joy, sense of accomplishments, and so on. That is where your confidence will come, by the way.
The world opens up... when you do.

LOL, this describes my whole family . I'm joining a historical re-enactment group, where I can put ot use some of things I already love to do, but find that I am really excited about learning some new stuff . I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head
My first thought was, "nope, there's no way I can fit that in my schedule!"
SCA, by any chance? I've been struggling not to join that for years--just too much of a time commitment. But I really really wanna!
Not really, but I think quite a few members participate in both. It's a Scottish highland group, that has a big presence at the local Ren Faire and other events. I'm still a bit clueless about all the logistics still.

Wheatley says a student who takes her grades more seriously than her partners may suffer from this kind of learning, too. "Inevitably, group dynamics get in the way of the project, as partners fight over who is doing more work than the other," says Wheatley. He grades his students as individuals even though they work in groups. "My rubrics always include skills such as responsibility, teamwork, and the ability to solve problems without creating new ones," says Wheatley.
"I truly can't think of anyone not able to benefit from it," says Cicero. If done correctly, he says, your child's teacher can adapt a project and the responsibilities given to your child and her classmates to make the assignment appropriate for all. Many educators agree, of course, that a balance between teaching real-world, team-building skills and meeting curriculum standards must be preserved.
What can you do to support the project-based learning approach and apply this kind of learning at home? Here are some tips:
Introduce risk taking. Your child may be concerned with succeeding at a project the first time around. But project-based learning is all about trial-and-error and learning-by-doing. To encourage this environment, ask your child open-ended questions rather than give instructions when she works on a project. Let her discover solutions for herself – even if it means stumbling upon wrong answers first.
Enforce a team mentality. Parents can especially apply project-based learning in a household of siblings, says Wheatley. "Too many kids are treated as VIPs in their own homes, rather than as a member of the team," he says. "The older they get, the more involved they should be in family decisions about vacations, budgets, and home improvements." Boss adds, " From planning a vacation to planting a garden, family activities offer real-world opportunities to put project strategies to work."
Make textbook-to-world connections. Bring your child's homework assignments to life when possible with occasional, unforced comments. If your child recently learned about photosynthesis, and you're picnicking in the park, look at the leaves of plants and remind her of this process. You don't have to drill her with a lesson; simply helping to make connections about the ideas she learns is enough.
Don't solve your child's problems. If siblings are caught in an argument, Wheatley recommends parents allow conflicts to occur to encourage children to solve them. "When parents or teachers intervene, the only message it sends is that they were unable to do the task they were given," says Wheatley.
Bottom line? "Talk with your kids about the projects they are doing at school," says Boss. "Ask questions that get them to think about what they're doing and why it matters." Finally, familiarize yourself with the curriculum, so you know about the projects in which your child participates.

Survival Hunter DPS Macros and Addons (WoD 6.1)
Macros and addons are an integral part of a raider's arsenal as they can make it easier to perform a variety of tasks, improving your overall game experience. On this page, we present macros and addons that can be useful to a Survival Hunter in World of Warcraft WoD 6.1.
The other pages of our Survival Hunter guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Azortharion, one of the best hunters in the world, who raids in Danish Terrace. He maintains his own Hunter guide, and you can watch his stream on Twitch.
1. Macros↑top
1.1. Generic Macros for Hunters
1.1.1. Deterrence Cancelaura Macro
- /cancelaura Deterrence
This macro allows you to cancel your Deterrence, which is useful because while Deterrence is active, you cannot perform any attacks. With this macro, you can use Deterrence to avoid a specific boss ability and then quickly resume DPS.
We advise using the above macro separately from your normal Deterrence keybind, even though having a single macro for both is common. The reason we advise against using the two together is that it is very easy to accidentally cancel Deterrence, especially if you are spamming your keybind.
1.1.2. Misdirection Mouseover/Focus Macro
- #showtooltip Misdirection
- /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead][]Misdirection
This macro will cast Misdirection on the target you are currently mousing over, provided that they are friendly and not dead. Otherwise, it will cast Misdirection on your focus target, if they are friendly and not dead. If this is not a valid choice either, it will cast Misdirection on your current target.
1.1.3. Startattack Macros
Neither Glaive Toss nor Dire Beast cause your character to start attacking the target when cast, so you should use the following macros to force this to happen.
- #showtooltip Glaive Toss
- /startattack
- /cast Glaive Toss
- #showtooltip Dire Beast
- /startattack
- /cast Dire Beast
1.1.4. Petattack Macros
It is a good idea to include a command to force your pet to switch to your current important target. This is particularly relevant with Dire Beast and Stampede, since you generally cast these abilities on targets you intend to attack for at least a moderate amount of time (justifying the time it takes your pet to run to the target).
- #showtooltip Dire Beast
- /petattack
- /cast Dire Beast
- #showtooltip Stampede
- /petattack
- /cast Stampede
1.2. Specific Macros for Survival Hunters
Currently, we feel that there is no need for additional macros to play a Survival Hunter to its full potential.
2. Addons↑top
2.1. Generic Addons for Hunters
2.1.1. ElvUI
Here, at Icy Veins, we use ElvUI for all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the default User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly: action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.
We strongly recommend that you get this addon.
2.1.2. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs
Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use Deadly Boss Mods, the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is Big Wigs.
GTFO is a lightweight addon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when you are making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod is already alerting you of such things.
2.1.4. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
Parrot and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text are highly customisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incoming heals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.
2.1.5. Weak Auras
WeakAuras is an extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen, helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other functions.
2.1.6. Recount / Skada
Recount is a well known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS (Healing Per Second). We advise you to also use it for checking what you take damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of your abilities is similar to that of other players of your class.
A lightweight alternative to Recount is Skada Damage Meter.
2.1.7. Omen Threat Meter
Omen Threat Meter is the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on your target. We recommend you to use it to avoid taking aggro when the tank is still building up threat on an enemy.
2.1.8. JS' Hunter Bar
JS' Hunter Bar is a highly customisable addon that greatly assists your gameplay as a hunter. It provides you with a very easy to see focus bar as well as cooldown timers for all of your useful hunter abilities. Moreover, it provides various other miscellaneous features.
2.1.9. JS' Hunter Bar Misdirection
JS' Hunter Bar Misdirection allows you to easily misdirect to targets by simply right click their name on your unit frames.
2.1.10. Stay Focused! Hunter Helper
Stay Focused! Hunter Helper is a simple addon that displays a bar representing the amount of Focus you currently have. It is very crucial that you know how much Focus you have at all times, and having an addon which takes very little space to show you this means that your visibility is not hindered.
This addon is an alternative to JS' Hunter Bar.
2.2. Specific Addons for Survival Hunters
Currently, we feel that there is no need for additional addons to play a Survival Hunter to its full potential.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Will Brown get chance to stick it out?
The inevitable is the inevitable and reality is reality. And that's why it looks like Mack Brown is going to be fired as Texas' coach by the end of the season.
And I hedge with "looks like'' because I'm hoping, more than thinking, that there's a chance he won't be.
On Monday, amid rumors that Brown was going to announce his retirement, I asked him if he's going to stick this thing out for the long run. And it didn't surprise me one bit when he answered this way:
"I am. All I can do is worry about what I can control, and I can control helping this football team and our assistant coaches get better. And that's my job …
"We've had good hard discussions the last two weeks. Nobody here is blinking. We're all going back to work. What happens outside of our building, we can't control. What happens inside our building, we can continue to get better — and that's my job to do that and I'm going to do it.''
A few weeks ago, I spent about an hour with Brown at his massive office in Austin, Texas, talking about how his program had gotten here, what his role was in its fall and whether times were passing him by. Brown told a very human story of a guy who endured some depression (my word, not his) after losing the national championship game in January 2010 and suffering several deaths in his family.
He acknowledged screwing up most of the next season.
And this year, he had taken several steps to modernize and rejuvenate himself and his program. Now he was good to go. Several players told me he seemed different this year, more energetic. And to be honest, while I bought into what he was saying, I did have some doubts that maybe he was just trying to talk himself into something.
The thing to know is that Brown is not the latest incarnation of a guy who has hung around too long. That's how he is being painted. I went to a Penn State game at Iowa in one of Joe Paterno's last seasons, and it was shocking how Paterno was so confused at what was happening on the field. His assistants were running the program, respectfully.
Brown is just 62, not 102, as people seem to think. His problem isn't confusion. It was a two-year blip.
College football fans are some of the most passionate in sports. See them in action.He rebuilt Texas, brought it a national championship, and then got to another title game. And it just seems so inhuman to see fans booing him after a 1-2 start, following a 9-4 season.
But do you really owe people loyalty in the modern sports world? Maybe not. The program did slip during Brown's blip. Fell dramatically. Recruiting fell like a rock.
It seemed like blatant scapegoating when he fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz after the second game this year, a defensive disaster against BYU.
And there still is that nagging question about whether Brown really is able to just turn it back on.
More important, what happened to recruiting?
"I do think in some cases we might have looked at some videos, because everybody was going faster, and we looked at highlight films and maybe we took some guys before we really knew them well enough to have taken them,'' Brown admitted to me a few weeks ago. "We might have taken kids a little too quickly.''
And Johnny Manziel? Brown missed out on him, an in-state kid. Reports are that Brown offered him a scholarship to play defense.
No, Brown said. He didn't make an offer to Manziel at all. He said he met with Manziel, and liked him and thought he was a quality quarterback.
Then why no scholarship? Brown didn't answer.
But a source said that Brown was told that Manziel had personal issues and wouldn't fit in at Texas.
After Texas' loss to Mississippi on Saturday, Willie Lyles, the guy who allegedly helped funnel high school prospects to Oregon for cash, was making fun of Brown on Twitter:
"Another week another UT blowout. If your team, fans & alumni are ok with being losers it's cool. If you want to win again give me a call lol.''
And this: "It's 25,000$ per school. The Longhorns can be my first client.''
Maybe that's the modern game Brown needs to play. You have to have an inner scumbag to be a success these days.
A few weeks ago, he talked about moving to an up-tempo offense. He had hired Alabama's player personnel director. He was on Twitter now for recruiting, going after high school sophomores and landing them.
Brown said he was having fun.
Remember: Texas hadn't finished in the top 10 for 15 years before Brown took over in 1998.
Under Brown, it spent most of 2001-09 in the top 10.
Maybe fans don't have to remember those things. It has been a few years since Texas looked great, and now it looks awful.
If Brown has it back now, and could rebuild this thing, we're not likely to ever know. You can't just drop the ball for a couple of years these days and then expect patience when you get it back.
Something tells me that if Brown gets a chance to stay, Texas will be good again in a couple years. But no one is going to wait for that.
There's a reality to face here.

Right now, as I write this the Oddschecker has Twelve Years a Slave as the 4:1 favorite, followed by Gravity at 9:2. American Hustle (18:1), Dallas Buyers Club (25:1) and The Wolf of Wall Street (80:1) rounds out the top the five, with the others (Captain Philips, Her, Nebraska and Philomena, coming in at very poor odds–250:1 for the Tom Hanks piracy movie and 300:1 for the the others).

The Nissan Murano is a mid-size crossover SUV first sold by Nissan in December 2002 as a 2003 model. Nissan introduced the Murano as its first crossover SUV for the United States and Canada. Initially designed at Nissan America in La Jolla, California, the first generation Murano was based on the Nissan FF-L platform first used by the third generation Altima.[1] The single European version of the Murano began sales in 2004.[2] A convertible variant, marketed as the CrossCabriolet, premiered at the 2010 Los Angeles International Auto Show for model year 2011. The Murano was Nissan's only crossover SUV in the U.S. until September 2007 when the new 2008 Nissan Rogue went on sale. In Canada the X-Trail had been on sale as Nissan's second car-based SUV since 2004 as a 2005 model; it was replaced by the new 2008 Nissan Rogue in late 2007. The Murano is sized between the Xterra and the Pathfinder, but is priced slightly higher than the Nissan Pathfinder. The Murano was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2003. It was also named the best premium mid-size SUV by AutoPacific. The SUV is named after Murano, Italy. First generation (2002–2007)
The first generation Nissan Murano was unveiled in production form for the 2003 model year at the 2002 New York International Auto Show. It was powered by a 3.5 liter (VQ35DE) V6 producing 245 hp (183 kW) and 334 N·m (246 lbf·ft), also used in several other Nissan models like the Altima, Maxima, and Nissan 350Z, but specifically tuned for use in the Murano. Available with standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) and optional all-wheel-drive (AWD), the Nissan Murano is one of the largest vehicles utilising a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel economy was rated at 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway (same mpg FWD and AWD on the new EPA specifications).[3] Production started in mid-May 2002 and the first vehicles shipped in early June for the US, and mid-July for Canadian markets. An independent suspension on all wheels was used for class-leading ride and handling.[4] A full set of airbags, steel reinforced cabin, and head restraints were safety features designed to protect the interior while VDC, ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist were mechanical safety features. VDC incorporates a form of traction control. The Murano received a crash test rating of 5-stars in all categories but vehicle rollover (4-stars) from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).[5] For the 2006 model year in North America, the Murano received some updates in the form of LED tailamps and turn signals, standard color information screen, available back-up camera (standard in Canada for all models), GPS and a restyled front end with some minor trim updates. September 2004, the Murano was introduced in Japan, replacing the Nissan Bassara and exclusive to Nissan Red Stage locations, with a further introduction at Nissan Blue Stage locations in October, replacing the Nissan Pathfinder. Due to the Murano exceeding engine displacement and exterior dimensions as declared in Japanese Government regulations, it was regarded as a luxury vehicle and was equipped with many optional features found in North America as standard equipment on Japanese models, to include Nissan's GPS and internet-based navigation system called CarWings. Japanese models were available with two engine choices, the 3.5L V6 engine, or the 2.5L QR four cylinder engine. Second generation (2009–2014)
Nissan skipped the 2008 model year with the introduction of the next generation Murano – as a 2009 model. The 2009 Murano made its public debut at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show in November and sales began in early January 2008. The revised exterior styling bears an increased family resemblance to the Nissan Rogue, while still maintaining distinctly Murano cues with its aggressive front fascia and rear quarter windows. The interior has also been completely redesigned, with the use of a more traditional instrument cluster and notably higher-quality materials.[10] The 2009 Murano is offered in three trim levels: the base S, the mid-grade SL, and the top of the line LE.[11] The performance-oriented SE model is no longer available. The S and SL are offered with standard FWD, with optional iAWD (Intelligent All Wheel Drive) available. The LE trim is iAWD only. New features, some of them optional or available only on the LE grade, include rain-sensing wipers, double-stitched leather seats,[12] power rear lift gate, power fold-up rear seats, iPod integration, and a hard-drive based, touchscreen navigation system.[13] The S and SL feature aluminum interior accents, while the LE sports wood-tone trim. Like the first-generation model, there is no third-row seat. The Murano is now based on the Nissan D platform shared with the fourth generation Nissan Altima and the new 2009 Nissan Maxima. Nissan has given the 2009 Murano a revised version of the award-winning 3.5L VQ engine rated at 265 horsepower (198 kW), an increase of 20 over the previous model. Torque is rated at 336 N·m (248 lbf·ft). The engine is mated to a revised Continuously Variable Transmission with Adaptive Shift Control. EPA fuel economy is rated at 18 city / 23 highway.[14] Standard safety features on all trims include 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake-assist, and EBD; electronic stability control; and front, side-, and side-curtain airbags. The NHTSA awarded the second generation Murano 4 stars on the frontal crash test and 5 stars for side impacts, worse than the first generation.[15] On September 29, 2008, Nissan released the next generation Murano in Japan, where it is primarily targeted mainly at men in their 30s, 40s and 50s, and is priced between 3,150,000 yen and 4,042,500 yen, about 200,000 to 300,000 yen more expensive than the first generation model. Nissan has announced plans to sell the vehicle in 170 countries.[16] The four-cylinder 2.5L QR engine continues to be offered as an option in Japan. In July 2010, Nissan launched a facelifted version in Europe only, with an updated 2.5L YD25DDTi 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 190 hp and 450 N·m (330 lbf·ft).[17] For the 2011 model year, the Murano was refreshed to include new front and rear fascias, new headlights and LED taillights, and new 18-inch wheels on the outside. New interior changes include a new white meter color (as opposed to red/orange), new center stack plastic colours that now match the leather trim, and added equipment to various trim levels. The refresh also added a new exterior color, "Graphite Blue".[18] A convertible version called CrossCabriolet was added for the 2011 model year, premiering at the 2010 Los Angeles International Auto Show. However, due to slow sales and lack of promotion, Nissan announced on April 15, 2014, that it will end production on the CrossCabriolet and there are no plans to replace it with another vehicle.[19] In September 2011, Nissan launched the second-generation Murano in Indonesia. Only one version was available, and sold for 750 million rupiahs (about US$78,900).[20] On 5 April 2011, Murano is withdrawn from the UK market due to disappointing sales. Third generation (2015)
On April 14, 2014, Nissan unveiled a third generation Murano at the New York Auto Show, with production of the vehicle to be built in Canton, Mississippi and arriving in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2014. Inspired by the Resonance Concept that was on display at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, the new Murano includes a toned-down "V-Motion" nose and the trademark boomerang-shaped light fixtures, along with an updated infotainment system and newer security features. The VQ-Series 3.5-liter V6 engine will continue to be offered in the third generation version for the 2015 model year.[21] Awards and recognition

I love the history, the architecture, the beauty, and mostly the serenity of a cemetery, especially Hollywood Forever where I've been visiting for 30 years. I enjoy fulfilling photo requests at this cemetery the most.
Memorials are gladly transferred to anyone who'd like them - save for my own family members.
Always feel free to post a Public Message for me.
I've been seeing more and more requests for photos without any grave location information. Cemetery offices are much more likely to cheerfully provide family members with grave locations than photo volunteers, especially those of us they see often. We don't want to wear out our welcome, so to speak, and appreciate your calling or emailing the cemetery in advance to get the grave location. Hollywood Forever's phone number is 323-469-1181 and their email address is email@example.com. Please help us help you!

RE: Dowd Grave Photos
I did see the other Dowd family grave photos you took; again, thank you for going the extra mile. The photo with the specific locations marked is priceless. You are providing a great service and like my family, I'm sure many other families are as sentimentally touched by your work. You've given us all a chance to re-connect with our lost loved ones, even if it is only through a photo of their grave marker. Again, many, many thanks!

Jim, thank you again for finding my dad's gravestone. Every time I look at it, I choke up. I had another question if you don't mind; As a surprise, I want to forward the notes and information and photos to my brother. Can you tell me how I can do that? Is it possible? He has no idea in the world that I did this, but he has done so much for me I'd like to return the favor. But I am SO not a techie, so any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you.

My dad, John Lewis Hayes Sr
Oh, Jim. I wish I could find the words to thank you for what you've done, not just for me but for my brother, as well. We had so little time with him, but I can tell you for a fact that there was love enough for eternity. This is the first time I've ever seen his headstone. We were so poor after he died--I was 14, my brother 17, and we were still paying off debts from my sister's death when she was 7 and I was 5. There just wasn't enough money to take the bus from Santa Monica to North Hollywood, not enough money to put a tombstone on my sister's grave. I have to tell you, I didn't think seeing his name on that granite would affect me so much, but, oh, Jim, it chokes me up every time I look at it. I wish I was there, sitting on the grass, running my hand over the letters in that tombstone; thank you for making me feel like I am. Thank you, Jim. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have only one question: I need to edit the notes--I want to keep only the notes with the Navy flag. I need to show both names, me and my brother. I don't want him to feel left out when he sees this. How can I edit what I said, erase the one under my name and keep the other one? Thank you, and Jim, thank you again. You can't know what you did.

Universities Improve Discoverability Of Research With Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index
PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced that numerous institutions around the world are using its Data Citation Index solution to aid in the discovery of global data sets that connect researchers to data repositories.
Australia's University of Queensland, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Queensland University of Technology, and University of Adelaide; Europe's University of Leeds and University of Surrey; and, North America's Tufts University are among many institutions finding value in the Data Citation Index. It ensures work they do is discoverable, properly attributed and that their researchers are able to leverage work done by others, as well as helps progress research projects they're funding.
"The Data Citation Index is a valuable research tool for our institution and we look forward to promoting it to our customers," said Bob Gerrity, university librarian, the University of Queensland. "In the absence of a tool like the Data Citation Index, it is often quite difficult to find and appropriately credit prior research. The Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters creates a single source for the discovery of foundational research in selected data repositories around the world, and assures it is attributed in a way that appropriately acknowledges intellectual debt."
Thomson Reuters launched its Data Citation Index in October 2012. It worked in close collaboration with industry leaders from the California Digital Library's UC Curation Center and the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) to capture bibliographic records and cited references for digital research, in order to promote the accurate identification, attribution and measurement of this growing body of scholarship. "The Data Citation Index is a valuable tool for our researchers and we're pleased that Thomson Reuters has taken the initiative to bring such an offer to market," said Miriam Allman of Tufts University. Data Citation Index allows users to gain a comprehensive view of the genesis of research projects and influence the future paths they may take, while minimizing the duplication of work and speeding the scientific research process.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Four Iraq Detainees Flee U.S.-Controlled Compound in Baghdad
Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Four detainees are on the run in Iraq after escaping from a U.S.-controlled maximum-security compound near Baghdad, the American military said.
Guards discovered that the detainees were missing on Sept. 8 when they conducted "an accountability sweep" after two other people were caught trying to escape, the military said in a statement e-mailed late yesterday.
U.S. forces are working with Iraqi authorities and Iraq's Justice Ministry to track down the escapees, the military said, without providing further details. The compound is located within the prison formerly known as Camp Cropper.
American officials transferred the site to Iraq's Justice Ministry on July 15 as part of an agreement paving the way for the exit of U.S. troops by the end of 2011. Iraq renamed the site Karkh Prison and asked U.S. forces to retain custody of about 200 detainees there, most of whom are alleged to be members of al-Qaeda.
This week's incident was the second escape from the compound in about three months. Days after the handover, four men broke free, including al-Qaeda's so-called local ministers of finance and interior, state-sponsored al-Iraqiyah television reported at the time.
About 1,500 detainees at the site were senior members of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein's regime, American and Iraqi officials have said.

Update: Asher Roth Denies Being Gay
Posted: Monday – December 21, 2009
In the wake of all the hoopla surrounding the "Gay Rapper" and Asher Roth possibly being the poster boy for the cause and coming out the closet, the Pennsylvania MC has put the brakes on the speculation. Asher released the following statement putting an end to the rumors:
"I hate to disappoint and take away the entertainment of it all but I am straight, not gay. It's disheartening to know such "news" on someone's personal life can be portrayed as fact with no viable source. This, to me, is an opportunity to expose our vulnerability to lies and manipulation through unprofessional and irresponsible news outlets, in which people consider TRUTH. Further, someone's sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, as it delivers a troubling message to children that they can't be themselves without fear of judgment.
Race, creed, and sexual persuasion should not just be tolerated but understood and accepted. It's extremely disappointing that this topic would be used with the intention of being hurtful. We are near 2010….2010!! Yet race, sex and religion still play a major role in a hate driven society. For the love of the future and humanity….let's wake up."

A little bit about us: I'm Cuban-American and grew up in Miami Beach. I love hosting in my hometown and making sure my guests have a great time here. We offer luxury concierge services and my partner is in the music business. My teenage son is in highschool and also an aspiring musician. We are young, like to enjoy life and hope to take some time to travel soon. I respond to your messages right away so please don't hesitate if you have questions. We are bilingual, hablamos español.
Vanessa has completed online and offline ID verification.
Vanessa's apartment was in a great location, just a few blocks from the beach and walking distance to everything in South Beach. We walked everywhere and never had to taxis which was great. The apartment is a little worn (in the bathroom mostly). However it was very clean, and Vanessa has done a great job of decorating it and making it feel homey and cute. The value for size, and location is great for South Beach. She didn't have any parking pass for us, but recommended a great and affordable option down the street. Vanessa didn't meet us to give us the keys, or show us around and just left the apartment open for us which we found kinda odd, but it worked out well in the end since we were extremely delayed arriving and she would have been waiting around for ages. We met her while checking out, and she was very nice and sweet. Would recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay near the action and save on accommodation costs!
My host made me feel welcomed and provided great information about where to eat, local entertainment and public transportation. The unit was just as it looks in the picture. I really liked the towels. It was clean and comfortable. The unit is centrally located so it was easy to get around to the restaurants, beach and tour buses. If I return to Miami, I would stay in this unit.
The studio was clean and just as described. A nice quiet and safe neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and Lincoln Rd mall. The bed was comfy and everything we needed was there. Vanessa was very helpful and prompt at response.
Our experience staying at Vanessa's apartment was great! We just stayed one night and everything went smoothly. It was a comfortable stay!
Vanessa's place is the perfect beachside getaway. It's a 5 minute walk from the water and super close to a ton of cafes and great shops. So much better than any hotel you could get in the area. Vanessa is also quick to respond to texts and communication. Definitely take advantage of this great opportunity to kick back and relax in Miami.
ok so.. that was my first airbnb experience and everything was great, studio was clean , everything was new , location great, area safe , we have netflix and hulu on the tv , check in and out very smooth, great communication with the host..and Vanessa was very helpful with everything we need it. thank you :)
Vanessa was very accommodating and the place was clean and convenient to the beach. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Vanessa gave us parking passes for $10 a day so we could park nearby. We loved our time here!!!
Although we did not meet Vanessa, she was very quick in responding to all of my calls and very helpful. The studio was larger than expected and decorated with some cute touches. It is ideally located as you can walk everywhere yet off the main streets so there is no noise. Everything went smoothly.
The location of this apartment is just perfect, close to the beach but still far enough from the main streets to be on a quiet street. The bed was big and comfortable. Vanessa was really flexible with the check-in/out times which helped us a lot! The apartment itself is definitely more rough around the edges than you can tell from the pictures, but it was all clean and very nicely decorated.
Vanessa es una muy buena anfitriona. Preocupada y siempre disponible para resolver cualquier problema, solicitud o duda. Fue muy amable además en permitirme flexibilidad en el check out, evitándome tener que pasar horas de más en el aeropuerto. Respecto al departamento, luce tal como e las fotos y lo mejor es su ubicación. Caminando se pude llegar a los mejores lugares de South Beach: playa, Española Way, Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, etc.
