Click image to enlarge.
A free photographic exhibition focusing on the struggles and triumphs faced by survivors of war includes a one-off, highlight event at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds on Saturday (November 27).
Created by the Manchester-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG), Surviving the Peace places the spotlight on people emerging from war – and the challenges they face while struggling to acclimatise in the aftermath of violence.
Set in 14 countries around the world, the photos are the work of MAG's award-winning photographer Sean Sutton. In a series of powerful and moving images, Sean captures the conflicts that have scarred recent history and their impact on men, women and children around the world.
The exhibition also includes a one-off, feature event on Saturday, giving museum visitors an insight into MAG's work. Visitors are welcome to drop into sessions, highlights include:
12noon to 12.30: Introduction by Sean Sutton, providing an insight in to the lives of survivors who have shared their stories with him in conflict zones all over the world.
There will also be a chance to buy signed copies of Sean's books – Angola: Journey Through Change and the recently published Laos: Legacy of a Secret.
12.30pm –1pm: Sean will give a hands-on talk on the different types of landmines and unexploded cluster munitions MAG's specialist clearance teams encounter all over the world. As well hearing Sean's first-hand experiences of coming across these lethal items, visitors will be able to handle dummy mines and other decommissioned weapons.
1.15-2.45: Screening of the film "Bomb Harvest" – A Lemur Film Production directed by Kim Mordaunt and produced by Sylvia Wilczynski. Action focuses on Laos – the most bombed country, per capita, on the planet. This timely story features local children, out hunting for bomb scrap metal – plus a team of Australian bomb disposal specialists from MAG. This film vividly depicts the consequences of war and incredible bravery of those trying to repair the damage.
Surviving the Peace – which runs until 29th November, forms part of the Royal Armouries' month-long programme of events throughout November – Remember, Reflect, React. Visitors can experience all – or part of this special event – and entrance is free (booking not required).
Other events include:
• Exhibition of original carved wood panels, with First and Second World War themes, by the West Riding Woodcarvers' Association in the Hall of Steel (runs until November 28).
• Only Water Between – A true story of love, life and loss about the fatally linked stories of Great War soldier Jack Adam, his wife Gert, and Hiram Maxim, inventor of the machine gun. Performances at 1pm on November 23, 24 & 25

To order a sandwich or hamburger that is assembled so terribly when received it barely resembles the picture in the menu.
When Josh ordered his Big Mac at McDonald's the bottom bun was smaller then the top, and the sauce was so overly added it was dripping from the hamburger at every angle, when he picked it up it fell apart. This is definably a Disaster With Cheese.

Been hanging back for a while before jumping in. Here's a question. Why do you keep bees? For your sake or thiers?
Are we supposed to sacricfice the good for the perfect?
Mark Berninghausen
Way back, I believe it was Ian that said:
no treatment, no bees.
I agree. If you do not do something to counter the mites, their chances of survival is small. StevenG has one approach. I have not been impressed with the honey production or gentleness of the Minn. hygienic, so rather choose to try to select a hygenic bee from a productive stock, than try to select a productive bee from a hygienic stock.
We do treat our bees with numerous mechanical, and "generally considered safe" chemicals(the kind you find in the food store) . We do NOT use synthetic chemicals. It is more work, and more expensive.
I have been n contact with several of the so called "treatment free honey buyers", and none of them have put their money where their mouth is.
Crazy Roland
If you can't get a premium price for a specialty product, what's the point?
Mark Berninghausen
That was my point earlier. Lots of risk ,no reward. Not even an incentive . I guess so much for the "carriage trade".
there is nothing natural about beekeeping yet we pretend it is
other than we natually need to eat
Other than that, modern day beekeeping is the closest thing to "natural" that is possible to still achieve the desired end product.
This not being the treatment free Forum, it seems that some bees are being treated with treatments that are not treatments? I cant speak for anyone but myself.....but if you are treating your bees and claiming treatment free, dont expect me to buy your honey as treatment free.
At the moment, We are well.stocked with honey.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Keep bees leave the natural to mother nature. she is far better at it than you will ever know. Plus she has a hideous survival rate anyway.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
ya, why do we figure we can keep bees without controlling disease ? Let nature loose in an un natural setting.
Because thats what this conversation is all about, right, not using chemical mite treatment ,.? Why are we framing the whole issue around treatment free beekeeping?
Treatment free beekeeping is great, but not at all possible in the commercial sense
As a bonafide "treatment free honey buyer", I think it is only fair to point out that he is not offering treatment free honey....and seems to be complaining that he can't find a buyer to pay a premium for it as treatment free honey. I do put my money where my mouth is.I have been n contact with several of the so called "treatment free honey buyers", and none of them have put their money where their mouth is.
If you want a standard that promotes "non-chemical" treatments...have at it. If you want to pay a premium for such honey...have at it. If you want me to change my own (well established and consistent) standards you are not going to get very far.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Natural is a relative term. One can be more natural in their management practices than another. Does that mean that either of them are natural? Probably not, but one can be more natural than the other.
I think the greater question is, why do you care? If "natural" beekeepers, or those who claim to be, don't sell their honey for prices greater than you do, it doesn't affect your bottom line. They are selling their product for the same thing you are. I don't see how their attitude of their own management practices, or what they label it, in the least affects you.
If I grew wheat, and I said my wheat seeds came straight from god himself and it's the greatest wheat on the planet, if it doesn't increase my wheat sales and thereby doesn't decrease my competitor's wheat sales, who are my competitors to judge me? It's an issue between the buyers and the sellers (and perhaps the federal government in "truth in advertising" or "fraud" cases), but it has nothing to do with disinterested third parties.
>> I also don't see how there can be any type of repeatable or reputable source for TF bees on a national level.
We agree on the same level,
The way I see beekeepers throw around the term natural is what I dont agree with. There is nothing natural about it.
In my presentations, I do talk about "the natural model" as something to look at in contrast to "replacement beekeeping" (like Dee does), and "expansion beekeeping" (as Kirk does). The most important aspect of "the natural model" (one in which there is no beekeeper) is that, by definition, there is no surplus. Beekeeping is about changing some variables (mostly modifying cavity space...mostly above the brood nest) so that there is a surplus.
First, add a beekeeper to the equation. Second, manage the hive in such a way as to allow yourself to harvest honey. The devil is in the details of course, and the customer has the right to spend their money support whatever practices and standards they please.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
I pasted these right out of my last presentation:
[wrt different models of beekeeping...this is the "natural model"]
Smaller Colonies
Foundationless Comb w/ Original Broodnest Intact and "Unexpanded"
Plenty of drones
Prolific Reproduction
Hard Selection to the Environment…Boom And Bust
Hives Rarely Breached
Does Not Produce A Surplus
[wrt "The beekeeper's sleight-of-hand"...manipulations to produce honey]
The "Incredible Expanding Cavity" Trick
The Classic "Damaged Nest [above our heads] Needs Repairing _Before_ We Can Afford To Swarm" Con
These Two Concepts Are What Define Modern Beekeeping. These Two Concepts Are The Foundation of All Movable Comb Management Practice.
I understand that beekeeping isn't "natural". I strive to keep bees (and to support beekeepers) whose practices are the most supportive of the wildness still left in the bee...the ability to thrive on their own. This includes _not_ messing with a complex microbial culture(s). This includes selecting for traits that allow the bees to survive better (be it Dee's walk away splits, Kirk's closed population breeding program, Bob's participation in the formal Russian breeding program, or our own smaller experiment). This includes selecting for traits and management practices that avoid feeding _over_ maximizing honey production.
I'm not critical of what others do...I understand the reasons. You should hear me when we've been invited to do an intro talk for Queen of the Sun talking about how the vast, vast majority of the produce in this country is pollinated by beekeepers of the scale being (rather) vilified in the film they were about to see....and that changing that whole system of farming (and land ownership) probably looks roughly like "Mad Max"....if/when this all changes, I don't think anyone will be dancing in the streets...I think it will be because of some great calamity (famine, nuclear holocaust, plague, alien invasion, etc).
I just think it should be done differently....and I think that enough that we practice what we preach, and we've done our best to come up with a way to move this all forward. We got into this business _because_ we saw such good honey being wasted in blending...not because we were looking to start a honey business.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Good point Mark. Allow me to amend my statement:
"And you are welcome to go the complete natural way by moving to Europe and hunting down feral colonies, climbing trees with smokers in hand and harvesting their honey."

Mercedes mystified by lack of race pace
Despite scorching to their third pole position in a row, with Rosberg notching up his second in succession, Mercedes flopped when it mattered most at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Barcelona: Mercedes urged their many Formula One technical boffins to "think outside the box" and consider the unconsidered after a Spanish Grand Prix that left the team baffled by their cars' lack of race pace. Despite scorching to their third pole position in a row, with Germany's Nico Rosberg notching up his second in succession, Mercedes flopped when it mattered most at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Lewis Hamilton went from second to 12th, in what he said was his worst race for a very long time, while Rosberg finished sixth. How to manage and extract performance from the Pirelli tyres is the conundrum and Mercedes, who have a stellar line-up of senior technical figures, planned to throw all their brainpower into finding an answer.
"Generally what you can say is that the car is a quick car," Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff told reporters after emerging from a two-hour post-race technical debrief at the circuit. This is not about a car or a team struggling with lacking pace, a car where you end up 15th on Saturday and then 12th or 16th on Sunday. It is a car that is tremendously fast on the Saturday and has real speed. And then on Sunday we are not able to manage the car with the tyres. One could say 'Did the others go even much more conservative in terms of race setup?' I don't think so. It's something else and I think it requires out of the box thinking," added the Austrian.
"It's about everybody in the team sticking their heads together and saying let's analyse what we do from a Saturday to a Sunday. Is there anything we need to be looking at which we didn't look at until now?"
Barcelona, like Bahrain before it, is punishing for even the hardest tyres and it would be comforting for Mercedes to think that the circuit characteristics did not suit them and things will improve elsewhere. However the next circuit on the calendar is Monaco, a tight and twisty circuit without high energy corners, which must be treated in isolation.
The risk is that if single lap speed is compromised in exchange for better race pace, Mercedes could lose out in Monaco where pole position carries a premium and overtaking is extremely difficult. Wolff said he was "pretty sure" any solution would cost the team in qualifying pace. He added that it would be looking at matters through rose-tinted glasses to think the problems were more related to the track than the car.
"It's not an inherent car problem. I think it's probably something about processes," he declared. The question is: 'Is there anything we can be looking at which is similar to previous years?. Is it that this car is being made for a dragster race instead of for a grand prix? A German journalist said that," he smiled. "No. I don't think so. My opinion is it's something else.
"As I am on the rather pessimistic side, I don't believe in magic or a golden key. But it could be. The car is good. It's just changing the approach or looking at these processes for racing."
Wolff said Mercedes, who had problems particularly with their rear tyres last year, had done a good long run in final practice and set the car up for qualifying and the race accordingly but it had not worked. The priority now was to analyse everything, to look at how the tyres were treated, how they were heated up and how that heat is retained.
"It's how you drive it, slow or fast in the first couple of laps. How you build it up. We are looking at our competitors and what you can see is that clearly some cars are having an easier life with the tyres," said Wolff.

Kelly Rutherford
With a successful acting career that has seen her appear in shows like Melrose Place and Gossip Girl, it's slightly ironic that Kelly Rutherford's private life has turned into a paparazzi-funding, tabloid-selling mess. That's thanks to a very ugly, very public divorce from her husband, German entrepreneur Daniel Giersch.
AppealKelly Rutherford is now 40, so she's most definitely in cougar territory. But oh, what a comely cougar she is! Silky blond hair? Check. Penetrating green eyes? Yup. And what about pouty lips? Damn straight. This mother of two's head-shot may very well appear next to "MILF" in the dictionary (if they even make dictionaries anymore).
SuccessA disproportionate number of Melrose Place's cast members were unable to escape its career-crushing weight and have settled for a life collecting royalty checks and lobbying their agents for speaking parts on CSI: Hartford. But Kelly Rutherford has persevered and now appears on this generation's version of Melrose, Gossip Girl. Some may suggest she's tempting fate again, but the show is a burgeoning hit and Andrew Shue would kill to be on it.
Kelly Rutherford BiographyThe less educated among us might think that girls coming out of central Kentucky would be dim, buck-toothed yokels named "Clara Jane Whiskeypump," but this starlet of the small screen puts those stereotypes to bed. Kelly Rutherford was born in sleepy little Elizabethtown, Kentucky, in 1968, to a model/writer mother and presumably handsome father.
The writer part of her mom instilled a strong appreciation for the arts, while the model part gave her a lithe body and lips to kill for. Career options are slightly limited for cultured hot girls in small towns, so Kelly left for New York City, and eventually Hollywood, to chase her dreams of fame.
kelly rutherford struggles in hollywoodLike most cultured hot girls who go chasing fame, Rutherford struggled at first, picking bit parts in commercials and made-for-TV movies. A short five-episode stint on forgettable soap opera Generations showed casting agents that this girl could hold her own, and a recurring role on Emmy-award winning drama Homefront soon followed. It was no longer instant noodles and $4 wine for this budding star -- Kelly Rutherford was on her way.
kelly rutherford gets her big breakLegendary producer Aaron Spelling is what you call a star maker. Get a gig on one of his shows and you are almost guaranteed to hit the big time. Heck, the guy even made a midget with a speech impediment a star with Fantasy Island. So when Kelly landed a role on his prime-time soap opera Melrose Place in 1996, she must have been feeling pretty good. She played an ex-hooker with a heart, and hung around for four seasons and over 90 episodes.
kelly rutherford becomes a superstar… in turkeyKelly's impressive work and goddess-like appearance struck a strange chord with the citizens of Turkey. Ever the opportunist, Rutherford has filmed random Turkish commercials and even appeared as part of a national music festival. Sure, it's not the same as being a spokesmodel for Chanel, but our girl can at least get a seat at any restaurant she wants in Istanbul.
kelly rutherford hits it big, againThe big money might be in movies, but some actors are just fine working in TV their whole careers. Kelly Rutherford seems to fit that mold, as she left Melrose and went on to appear in other series like Threat Matrix and E-Ring. Her very serviceable work in those short-lived shows allowed her to land another high-profile gig as Lillian van der Woodsen on CW's ambitious teen drama, Gossip Girl, opposite "it" girls Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. The show continues to build buzz, and Kelly Rutherford seems fit for another long run.
kelly rutherford's life imitates her artShe's played hookers, groupies and back stabbing socialites, but Kelly's real life packs more drama than any of her characters' ever did. Her first husband, banker Carlos Tarajano, suffered a heart attack a few months after their marriage. The formerly vibrant young man was enfeebled, and Kelly grew ever more distant until she finally left him just six months after their vows.
Recently, she divorced her second husband, a German entrepreneur named Daniel Giersch. Not an overly dramatic event, until you consider rumors of her barring him from the delivery room during the birth of their second child or hiring a PI to spy on him. But this tabloid fodder only seems to raise the profile of this highly successful actress, while providing the writers of Gossip Girl with endless inspiration.

PHOTOS: (Nearly) Naked Boys Dancing At Broadway Bares: Solo Strips In NYC
May 07, 2012
On Sunday, New York City's XL nightclub hosted Broadway Bares: Solo Strips, a benefit revue featuring choreographed stripteases by some of the sexiest boys on Broadway. Directed by Tony Spinosa, this year's show featured Cesar Abreu (The Metropolitan Opera), Guto Bittencourt (Les Miserables), Josh Buscher (Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Nick Kenkel (Evita), Grasan Kingsberry (Leap of Faith), Andy Mills (Memphis), Brandon Rubendall (Anything Goes), Sam Cahn (Memphis), Adam Fleming (Wicked), and Robb Sherman (The Skinny) baring almost everything for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Before the show, photographer Jeffrey James Keyes got up close with hostess and Broadway darling Jennifer Cody, who explained that "Solo Strips is an amuse-bouche" for the bigger Broadway Bares XXIII: Happy Endings at Roseland Ballroom on June 17, when more than 200 chorus boys and girls shake their stuff in a naughty fairy tale-themed show.

|This dry season allowed me to summit this peak in just a few hours from Middle Cottonwood TH. Final 1700 feet the trail was covered in the fresh snow that fell last week. I scrambled up a small ridge that met up with the west ridge of the peak and post-holed up to the summit. Views of Ross Peak from the top were spectacular. Plunging back down to the trail was super quick sans navigating a huge cornice at the saddle.

RLC straw poll produces "interesting" result UPDATE: Payola?
posted at 4:31 pm on June 18, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
The Republican Leadership Conference is winding to a close this weekend and the straw poll results are popping up on the media machine already. It will come as no surprise that Ron Paul came in first, as he does in pretty much every straw poll held anywhere in the nation. (Where do these guys get the money to fly out and attend all these conferences?) But, as usual, the buzz that gets generated comes from who comes in second, and I'll confess this one caught me by surprise. Though, as Greta described it, it may prove to be "Interesting… not binding or even instructive."
- Paul 612
- Huntsman 382
- Bachmann 191
- Cain 104
- Romney 74
- Gingrich 69
- Palin 41
- Santorum 30
- Pawlenty 18
- Johnson 10
- Roemer 9
- McCotter 2
You can all make what you will of this, obviously. Straw polls in a limited, highly energized and partisan audience are precisely what the name implies… straw polls. But the Huntsman finish is certainly an eye opener. We can always assume that the Ron Paul army will show up anywhere such an event takes place and flood the ballot box, but does Huntsman have that sort of a well organized army which nobody knew about?
Bachmann and Cain being the only other ones to come in at triple digits are no surprise of course, and Palin 's numbers may be somewhat hindered by her lack of actually … err… you know… running. Mitt is highest among the sub-100 crowd, but that would probably be a reflection of the reactions of the base (who show up at such events) to the GOP voters across the nation as a whole, including indies and moderates.
Then again, as part of your discussion, is there something more to this tiny sample? Let's face it, every time we run a poll here at Hot Air, Romney is admired only slightly more than the nail you find in your flat tire during a rain storm. And yet he's leading in the national polls. Huntsman (*cough* RINO! *cough*) doesn't receive much more in the way of accolades, but does he have some juice nationally?
UPDATE: Rumor is already leaking out, originally floated at Politico, that Team Huntsman was laying out some cash to fly people in and vote for Jon.
Rumors circulated here that Huntsman campaign had paid for supporters to attend the conference and a spokesman for the candidate, Tim MIller, didn't deny that they had.
"Not commenting on internal strategy," said Miller, adding: "The result demonstrates that young conservatives are responding to his record of success in Utah, willingness to take the debt problem seriously, and foreign policy message,"
Don't take this as any sort of endorsement that it happened, but it is being talked about. All Politico has to go on thus far is "rumors" but Miller's non-denial was certainly a strange response. I've been poking my own contacts on Team Huntsman on this question and have not gotten a response, so we'll toss this out there as is for your consideration. If we get anything firm in either direction, updates will be forthcoming.

Four girls: each abandoned, each eventually adopted by an American family. Now they are teenagers in American suburbs, a world of minivans and school activities. Each is clearly confident enough to navigate her local terrain. Each is introspective about her roots, curious about her origins, though perhaps not so confident about meeting her birth family, should that possibility arise.
The movie explores the psychology of being immigrant in American society. The young women have that consciousness that minority status in America forces. Immigrants are simultaneously insiders and outsiders, always conscious of our identities. The sense of exile from all lands, living somewhere between this and that, is the norm. Many immigrants respond by trying to surrender everything that would be deemed "exotic," whether it means overcompensation with language, makeup, or even surgery. These girls, however, seem exceptionally comfortable in their own skins. I suspect much of that has to do with the fact that their experience is an exponentially exaggerated version of the common immigrant experience. But, I suspect that just as much results from their adoptive parents' concerns in raising them. One mother learned Chinese, while all the parents seem to take their adoptive daughters back to China, almost annually.
If there is overcompensation, it is in social, academic, and (probably) professional endeavors, often in response to their early abandonment. These girls speculate about why they were given up, suspecting their biological families were poor, but the most prevelent reason for them is simply that they are girls. At this point, the film could have turned political, turning into a typical celebration of selected American freedoms against selected Chinese human-rights atrocities. The film occasionally edges in that direction, but thankfully stops short. Rather, we are seeing real people and their real experiences, and while global politics definitely plays a role, it is secondary to the realities they face.
Their stories are painful, yet shared with a somber acceptance. One girl was taken on a bus ride and told to wait for a cousin who never appeared. Another was left by her mother in a neighboring village; when the father went to look for her, she was already lost. We see birthday parties, but because these girls were abandoned, we do not know their real birthdays. In response, they feel the need to prove themselves, especially as females. I suspect that this combination of immigrant consciousness and personal need will provide them with tremendous strength and advantage in later years -- assuming that the're able to resolve some internal conflicts.
There are two especially moving threads. During one interview, a subject breaks into tears as she speaks about her difficulties with that word, "abandonment." The question mark that adoptees often have, wondering why their biological parents left them, finds a soothing ointment in the gushing love from their adoptive families. Here, however, we speak of an abandonment for unknown reasons by an unknown family from an unknown village on the other side of the globe. So, the question remains unanswered.
In the other story, we follow a girl down the trail toward possibly finding her biological father. Some girls are told they look like the people of this or that ethnic group, without much consistency. In this case, however, we meet a woman who suspects she recognizes a girl as, perhaps, her niece. We meet the man who might be her father, and they take DNA tests. Problems in mail delivery and conscious choices in film editing keep us in suspense.
Interestingly, in some of these families, these young women are not the only adoptees in their households. Even though we enter the lives of four girls, there are so many interwoven storylines that it is sometimes difficult to keep track of them all. But that might be the filmmaker's point. We're talking about four girls, but we are also seeing something much larger, a growing transcontinental subculture. Watching this movie, I feel the need to run to the mall or someplace, and find a Chinese baby to hug. Or, at least, I can hug my own daughters.

2012 More hints towards Grand Theft Auto on Vita?
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 01:10 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Earlier today, Magazine website DigitalSpy posted an article in their gaming section about a survey they took for PlayStation in regards to cross gaming purchases and discounts, interesting enough it name drops Grand Theft Auto in the questions:
"Imagine you bought the PS3 version of the latest Grand Theft Auto game," read the survey.
"As you've bought the PS3 version of the game, you would be able to download the PS Vita version of the game with a discounted price (from the normal price of £29.99)."
Could this be another hint towards a Grand Theft Auto title being made for the Sony handheld?

Totally different animals. The FAL is a gas operated rifle based on a machined solid steel receiver. The CETME/G3 rifles are based on a sheetmetal stamping receiver and are roller delayed blowback operated. Nothing interchanges except the ammunition!
The CETME (original Spanish rifle) and the G3 (later "product improved" German made and licensed) are two versions of the same basic design, but major parts are different between them. They both can be built on the same receiver shell, the only difference between the current receivers are the welded on rear sight bases. The trunnions are different as well, so if building a CETME make sure the receiver comes without a trunnion.
The FAL was probably the most popular .308 rifle ever produced, adopted by many many countries in one form or another. Right now about the only kits commonly available from vendors are the Imbel made ones. The other variants are available on the various boards' for sale ads as well as Gunbroker, but you are talking a lot more $$$ on those. There is currently a receiver shortage on these, only DSA seems to have much in stock and thery are the most expensive out there.

I managed to add the settings for the party frames and I can easily do all the of statements for health, icons, text and all that jazz but I haven't been able to add the actual frames to make them appear in game without it breaking the layout. I'll try again later after work, super early shift, yay!
Random stuff WoW UI Enthusiast BNet Youtube Some old UIs Hulari#21213(EU) Stream (updated, usually wow.) Lastest UI (Roth's Diablo inspired) Go ahead, add me!
http://pastebin.com/xmvrGvpD i suppose you're missing the second part
---------- Post added 2013-01-06 at 02:53 PM ----------
please tell me all that I can fix with the UI, would love to make it better
Also if you intend on sticking to Weak Auras/Power Auras I recommand using Clean Icons, which give buttons a nice border. Looks much better in combination with Cold's UI.
You can find them on wowinterfaces.com .
heres mine...nothing special.....started with elv then got bored with it so adjusted some things....mind you i am a complete idiot when it comes to addons so be gentle

Hey twin2, do you still have your 3.x interface folder stored somewhere? I'm really interested in your old oUF layout and a few addons which I can't seem to find anywhere else.
---------- Post added 2013-01-06 at 04:07 PM ----------
It's quite hard to tell from that little screenshot, I've found imgur to work well for image hosting.
All I can mention is that the unitframe/castbar texture could use a replacement and that your recount takes up a bit too much space imo.
Last edited by v1do; 2013-01-06 at 04:08 PM.
I never updated those, so they would even if i can find the files need a complete rewrite to function with 5.1 and oUF.. i recently removed my UF's from wowinterface.. used to be able to grab those from the archive there.
I'll dig through my dropbox/mailbox and see what i can find.
It's no problem for me, and yes I meant the really old ones.
Easy to fix tho, just decrease the size of the buffs under your unitframe to the same size as the ones on your target and make some kgpanels for the actionbars and recount.
And me personally would remove all the spells you don't really need to track (aspects, AS etc) and hide them which will make the actionbar much smaller.
This will give a "cleaner" look of it all.
Your chat panel is 4-5 pixels lower than your recount. I realised how high your res is and I'm wondering if your having problem reading that chat of yours
Other than that, I'm not sure why you would want a huge portrait in the middle of your screen. Not very functional.
It's an interesting idea though. Does it double up as a castbar? Probably more screens would do it justice.
The power bars are neat. I'm not sure about that raid panel though, does it resize in 10-man?
My last nitpick would be that 1px divider in your minimap and the height of the panel. It's a pretty stupid thing to debate about, but I think it could be little bit shorter.
It's a nice UI overall. Some cooldown/castbar/dbm/combat screens would be nice.

Playboy.com's Picks 2013: The New Year
Supposing the world hasn't ended, here's what we have to look forward to in 2013.
Every year about this time, lists recapping the year's best whatever start to surface, and we're telling you right now, they're all bogus, save ours.
Over the next few weeks, Playboy.com's Picks 2012 will provide you with the year in review, from movies to music to viral trends, political and celebrity scandals and even ideas. We're showcasing the year's best across the board and on tap this week we've got what to look forward to in the coming year, 2013.
Check out Playboy.com's Picks for Movies, Music, Top Viral Trends, Celebrity Scandals, Tirades and Big Ideas.
TV (in general)
Be it season three of Game of Thrones, season four of Boardwalk Empire and Justified, Louis C.K.'s HBO special or the return of Arrested Development, television has a proverbial buffet on tap for 2013. How will Nucky's play on Arnold Rothstein turn out? Will the Arrested Development cast turn even more meta, making a movie about making a movie to oppose the making of a movie? Will Natalie Zea keep getting hotter (pregnancy be damned), and how naked will Emilia Clarke get (also something about a war)? The Chinese horoscopes say this is the year of the Black Snake, but we're thinking it's more like the Year of the Sloth.
The Next Generation of Gaming Systems
It seems like only yesterday we were lining up to scope out the next best thing: PS3, Xbox 360, the Wii. Well, game developers have been busy little beavers and are shooting for some time in 2013 to launch the PS4 and the Xbox 720. Early reviewers are already saying these new platforms harness enough power to fuel a small island nation for several years and may in fact cause total blindness from graphic-induced awesomeness.
Sony certainly hopes so; they posted a 6.4 billion dollar loss in 2012, so deploying a gaming system that blinds most customers will take the pressure off their design department.
The Actual End of the World
Assuming you are around to read this, December 21st likely came and went with little calamity. No supervolcanoes. No rapture. No colliding with the planet Nibiru. Nothing to really signal the impending apocalypse. But none of that is likely to deter the Doomsdayers…
They've now got another date in mind, March 31st, 2013, when another anciently inscribed calendar ends, so be prepared to see at least a few more disheveled lunatics speaking in tongues carrying "The end is nigh" signs on city corners, but don't go out of your way to prepare; we're willing to say this is but another false alarm.
That said, one thing you might want to prepare for is an actual solar flare: not the Star Trek exploding, planet-engulfing kind; the slightly less unhinged and scientifically sound kind. Scientists speculate that sometime in July, our sun will begin emitting large radiation bursts that could disrupt telecommunications—everything from cell phones to radio, television to the internet—so in a way it's kind of like the end of the world. We'll all be forced to talk to each other for perhaps more than five-minute periods and may miss key conjunctures of summer TV reruns we've already watched twice. It will indeed be mayhem.
While the meteoric rise of Justin Bieber continues to woo the swarms of preteen girls who apparently dictate the top 20 charts, 2012 also saw the return of some staples: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and the Stones. That trend will continue in 2013, though it won't go so far back. Anyone born in the '80s will be happy to hear that Tool, Mötley Crüe, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains have albums on tap for 2013; anyone born just a bit before that will be happy to know that Judas Priest and Black Sabbath (the real Black Sabbath, Ozzy and all) are also set for new releases. So yeah; go fuck yourself, Justin Bieber.
12 New Playmates
Finally, 2013 means 12 new Playmates. This year our covers were graced by the likes of Heather Knox, Leola Bell, Raquel Pomplun, Amelia Talon, Pamela Horton and Britany Nola, and while we can't divulge who we've got in store for 2013, if 2012 was any indication we should be in for a very, very good year.

A gay man, finally deciding he could no longer hide his sexuality from his parents, went over to their house, and found his mother in the kitchen cooking dinner.
He sat down at the kitchen table, let out a big sigh, and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, I'm gay."
His mother made no reply or gave any response, and the guy was about to repeat it to make sure she'd heard him, when she turned away from the pot she was stirring and said calmly, "You're gay... doesn't that mean you put
other men's penises in your mouth?"
The guy said nervously, "Uh, yeah, Mom, that's right."
His mother went back to stirring the pot, then suddenly whirled around, whacked him over the head with her spoon and said,
"Don't you EVER complain about my cooking again!"

O.K. here's a lesbian outing joke.
Heather invited her mother over for dinner. During the meal, her
mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful Heather's roommate
She had long been suspicious of Heather's sexuality and this only
made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two women
interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Heather
and the roommate than met the eye. Reading her mom's thoughts,
Heather volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I
assure you, Suzy and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Suzy came to Heather and said, "Ever since
your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful
silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"
Heather said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just
to be sure." So she sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not
saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not
saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that
one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Several days later, Heather received a letter from her mother
which read: "Dear Daughter, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep
with Suzy, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Suzy.
But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she
would have found the gravy ladle by now."
"Love - Mom"
thats a good one too..

August A. Busch III
Signature Speaker Series hosts August A. Busch III
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, College of Business
(Feb. 1, 2007)--The UTSA College of Business will host the second annual Signature Speaker Series on Feb. 21 featuring August A. Busch III, former chairman of Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc.
The Signature Speaker Series, sponsored by Wachovia, will feature a keynote address by Busch as well as an awards program honoring College of Business alumni. The event is 6:30 p.m. at the Marriott Rivercenter hotel in downtown San Antonio. Proceeds will benefit scholarships and programs in the College of Business.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"The Signature Speaker Series allows us to share with the San Antonio community an opportunity to hear from nationally recognized business leaders and to showcase the impact of the UTSA College of Business in South Texas," said College of Business Dean Lynda de la Vina. "The college has received numerous national accolades this past year, and we are excited to use this opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of our alumni. We are also delighted that Wachovia shares our vision and has agreed to be the presenting sponsor of this event again this year."
"It is an honor for Wachovia to continue our sponsorship of this great series, which allows those of us in San Antonio to learn from the experience and insight of top-ranked business leaders," said Wachovia Market President Mark Metcalfe. "We are proud to extend our relationship with the UTSA College of Business. The university's contributions to academia and to this city are growing tremendously, thanks in large measure to the energy and creativity of Dean de la Vina and her faculty and staff."
Busch began his career at Anheuser-Busch in 1957. He built his knowledge of the beer business by working in virtually every department throughout the brewery before succeeding his father as president in 1974 and CEO in 1975. He was elected chairman of the board of directors in 1977.
Busch retired from his position as president and CEO in July 2002 and continued to serve as chairman until December 2006. The company's strong performance is attributed to Busch's expertise in brewing, his marketing instincts, decisive leadership style and the strong management team he put in place.
Busch was educated at the University of Arizona and as a brewmaster at the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago. Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc. is a $17.3 billion, St. Louis-based global corporation that includes America's largest brewing organization, one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of aluminum beverage containers and one of the largest theme park operations in the country.
Two distinguished UTSA alumni will be honored at the event. Jeanie Wyatt, M.B.A. '86, CEO and chief investment officer of South Texas Money Management Ltd., will receive the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. Wyatt established South Texas Money Management in 2000, and it became one of the fastest growing investment advisory firms in the country focused on high-net-worth clients. A.J. Rodriguez, '98 and M.B.A. '00, president and CEO of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, will receive the Young Alumnus of the Year award.
Tickets are $75 with table sponsorships available. Register online at the College of Business Web site. For more information, call (210) 458-4313.

Am I dreaming?
Anyone ever heard of Koenig Solutions? http://www.koenig-solutions.com/
I am highly impressed with their training model. Not only do they offer the traditional 4-5-7 day boot camps, it seems the offer longer training, in theory, allowing you to really master a subject. Just what I have been looking for. Being that they are based overseas, I was of course weary, but surprisingly, their FAQ addresses those concerns, both illegal exam taking, and braindumping. And it seems they offer 1 on 1 training, a definite benefit for training like CEH or other training that requires specialized knowledge.
The pricing is defiantly a bargain to training in the US, and India is closer to my current location.
I am currently looking up reviews, all good so far, their claims to be Oracle partners checks out, and there is a decent review here: http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2008/06/or ... camps.html

Just read this article on yahoo:
Says Dion Jordan played this season at 226lbs but is already up to 234 and plans to be 250 by the combine. Idk about you guys but I really like Jordan in the first. He's an absolute freak athlete with very long arms on a 6'6 frame. He would be a terror coming off the edge as a situational pass rusher and could possibly play linebacker in certain situations.
He may be light now, but Bruce Irvin was only 245 heading into the combine, was drafted by a 4-3 team, and had 8 sacks in his rookie year! I'd take that over the pathetic effort that Tuck and Osi gave this year.

2005 Official Site Update Around the Corner
GTA: LCS - General News | @ 02:08 PM MDT | By Kodo
After seeing no update on the official LCS site on September 1st like some expected, I thought I would ask Rockstar for an official date instead. While I wasn't told a date, their exact words were:
While I can't say exactly when the official site will be updated, it should be sometime very soon in the near future.
This leads me to believe it is coming in the next few days... it could be early next week, this weekend, or possibly even tonight. We will find out soon enough.
EDIT by Rappo: Although Rockstar haven't updated their site yet, we're still working on bringing more LCS content to the website. That's why I've added the PSP Wallpapers and PC Wallpapers sections. It gives site-goers a chance to contribute their work to us and let others enjoy using them. If you have any PSP wallpapers of PC wallpapers that you think should be added, please submit them to us or send me a PM on the forums. Thanks.

In 32 states, voters have weighed in on same-sex marriage. In 32 states, they have rejected it. Little wonder, then, that gay rights activists have long shunned the ballot box.
But with voters in four more states — Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington — ready to take up the issue next month, advocates sense an historic shift in the making; a chance to break the streak.
The president has come out in favor of gay marriage, of course. And public opinion is moving with astonishing speed toward acceptance.
A Pew Research Center poll conducted June 28-July 9 found 48 percent of Americans in favor of same-sex nuptials and 44 percent opposed. Just three years prior, the country was against it, 54-37 percent.
Support is even stronger in three of the states voting next month. In Maryland, a recent public opinion survey showed gay marriage backers up 10 points. In Maine, the lead stands at 16 points, and in Washington as much as 18 points. Advocates, moreover, were outraising opponents by a margin of two-to-one at last count.
A gay marriage victory in one or more of these states would deprive opponents of a major talking point. But it could also shift the political calculus for supporters.
And that brings us to Rhode Island, where the gay marriage push has sputtered amid headline-grabbing successes in the other New England states.
Ocean State activists have always argued against a popular vote not just on strategic, but on moral grounds: why, they ask, should the majority be allowed to vote on the rights of a minority?
It is a compelling argument, one that speaks to the most basic sense of justice in the gay and lesbian community. But are we getting to the point where political considerations should trump it?
There are plenty of big, structural forces that have conspired to kill same-sex marriage in Rhode Island's General Assembly.
The Catholic Church, however diminished, has proven itself a potent political force. And advocacy group Marriage Equality Rhode Island, more adroit now, was ineffective and riven by conflict during the early stages of last year's legislative fight.
But the most important obstacle, going forward, is the composition of the state senate.
Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed is opposed to gay marriage. And a Phoenix analysis shows that about half of the 38-member upper chamber is on her side, with just one-third in favor, and the balance in the toss-up category (see "Will the Senate Kill Gay Marriage — Again?," 8.10.12).
This fall, local advocates have made a big push to oust gay marriage opponents from the Senate. And just before the primary election in September, they got a last-minute cash infusion from Tim Gill, a reclusive Colorado technology magnate who has invested heavily in state-level legislative races in a bid to tip the balance on marriage and other gay rights issues.
But the results of the Democratic primary were disappointing, with just one of the pro-gay marriage candidates in the six most watched races winning. And while advocates are hoping for better results in a half-dozen general election races next month, they would have to run the table to control half the chamber.
Even then, it could be tough to force the Senate president to bring the bill to the floor.

text: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL) is engineered to exceed the requirements of GM, Ford and Toyota where low-viscosity oil is required. The highly-specialized properties of this light-bodied fluid provide outstanding performance without compromising protection, even in severe operating conditions. Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying consumer demands. Smaller, smoother-shifting transmissions with longer fluid life capabilities and heavier load capacities are now standard. Traditional ATFs, however, are unable to meet these extreme requirements, and new fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL, with its original introduction of a synthetic ATF in 1980, remains the leader in transmission fluid quality. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest-quality components to exceed the most stringent industry standards. The quality and performance of AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is guaranteed. Fully Fortified • Anti-wear/extreme-pressure agents—Extend gear life • Durable friction modifiers—Anti-shudder • Anti-oxidants—Extend fluid life • Seal conditioners—Reduce leaks • Detergents and dispersants—Keep clean and control deposits • Corrosion inhibitors—Control rust • Anti-foam agents—Improve hydraulic function EXCEPTIONAL HOT- AND COLD-TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat-resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL Low- Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. It delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. AMSOIL Low-Viscosity ATF protects hot-running transmissions. Cold-Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow per formance (<-60°F pour point). It helps improve shifting response and energy efficiency while reducing warm-up times. OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage resulting from insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity ATF is formulated with high film strength (shear stability) and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is a low-viscosity, fuel-efficient fluid, it has demonstrated its ability to protect as well as or better than higher-viscosity fluids in the most severe industry tests. FRICTION DURABILITY Today's transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torqueconverter clutches). EXTENDS FLUID SERVICE LIFE Modern transmissions are smaller in design, yet are called upon to deliver smoother shifts and longer fluid-life capabilities in higher-horsepower and higher-torque conditions. AMSOIL placed great emphasis on developing a fluid to effectively address the complex demands related to friction. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torque-converter clutches). APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for automatic transmissions and other applications requiring DEXRON® VI, MERCON® LV, SP or Toyota WS. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is backward compatible and replaces DEXRON® III fluids in older GM automatic transmissions. (DEXRON® VI specification supersedes the obsolete DEXRON® III in GM vehicles.) *Not for use with CVT or Ford Type F applications. EXTENDED FLUID SERVICE LIFE Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is a long-life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It provides an extra margin of protection, especially when fluid change intervals are missed or during heavy use; even during abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Low-Viscosity ATF to provide protection beyond conventional fluids.
