The Use of Ensemble Forecasts to Produce Improved Medium Range (3-15 days) Weather Forecasts
By Klaus Weickmann, Jeff Whitaker, Andres Roubicek and Catherine Smith
The traditional method of making a weather forecast is to take the best model available and run it until it loses it's skill due to the growth of small errors in the initial conditions. Skill is typically lost after 6 days or so, depending on the season. An alternate method that produces forecasts with skill up to 15 days after the initial forecast uses what is called "ensemble forecasting". Instead of using just one model run, many runs with slightly different initial conditions are made. An average, or "ensemble mean", of the different forecasts is created. This ensemble mean will likely have more skill because it averages over the many possible initial states and essentially smoothes the chaotic nature of climate. In addition, it is now possible to forecast probabilities of different conditions because of the large ensemble of forecasts available. A more detailed description of ensemble forecasting and PSD's forecast products follow.
Background and Introduction
All of the products on this page are based on forecasts produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) global atmospheric circulation models. Every day at 00z and 12z global weather observations are collected, transmitted to major weather centers and, with the aid of a global model to fill in gaps, used to produce a snapshot of the global atmosphere. This snapshot includes winds, pressure, moisture, temperature, etc. at multiple vertical levels in the atmosphere and at grid intersections of about 100km. These "observed" global fields provide the initial conditions for numerical models that integrate the equations of motion of the atmosphere forward in time to produce a forecast. Because of the uncertainty in these initial conditions, an individual model run merely "samples" one of many possible future states of the atmospheric circulation. In order to sample more states, NCEP (and other weather centers) makes many forecast runs of a model out to 15 days in which the initial conditions of the individual runs are slightly perturbed. It has been shown that the average of all these model integrations is the most skillful forecast that can be made given the chaotic nature of the atmospheric circulation.
The Physical Sciences Division (PSD) "downloads" these forecasts from NCEP computers on a daily basis and produces the plots shown on the page. Currently, there are 11 predictions that are run at 12z and another 12 that are run at 00z. PSD transfers these results to Boulder, CO overnight, after the 00z runs have been completed. Results are usually displayed by the next morning. Thus what you see today was derived from initial atmospheric conditions from last night (the 00z runs) and from yesterday morning (the 12z runs). These 23 members represent the current best estimate of the distribution of states expected in the atmosphere out to lead or forecast times of 15 days. An average of all members is referred to as the ensemble mean. One can also use the members to estimate probabilities of certain events, such as much below or much above normal temperatures. Such probabilities are dependent on the spread in the forecasts of individual members. For those familiar with the term, the ensemble prediction approach attempts to define the probability density function or PDF of atmosphere variables. For example, the temperature predicted at a specific location would have a most likely value (the ensemble mean) but would also have values that are scattered around the mean. This scatter increases with forecast lead time and should eventually approach the climatological distribution of temperature (or whatever the variable of interest).
Now let's get on with describing and interpreting the products. Only a subset of fields output by the model are transferred and shown because the data quantities involved are large. The numbers on each paragraph refer to the column of links on the web page.
Product Description, Northern Hemisphere Results
- Column 1 (click on to open a
new window and follow along with today's forecasts) of the NCEP ensemble forecast web page
shows predictions of 500 mb height and sea
level pressure over the entire northern hemisphere . 500 mb
is a pressure level in the atmosphere located at about
18,000 ft. and has about half the air pressure experienced
at sea level. The lines of equal height are similar to the
lines of equal elevation on a topographic map. However, in
addition to providing information about the elevations
changes of this pressure surface, they also tell us about
the atmospheric winds. The closer the lines are together
the stronger the winds blow. Also, winds blow
counterclockwise around low heights and clockwise around
high heights (opposite in the southern hemisphere). The
generally low heights near polar regions and high heights
in the tropics/subtropics are consistent with a general
westerly flow (flow toward the east) in the atmosphere at
this level. The first column shows the ensemble mean or
average of the 23 members that make up this prediction
system. Links are provided to individual forecast lead
times and, at the bottom of the column, to all forecast
times together or to an animation of all forecast times.
Clicking on an individual lead time brings up a picture
showing the 500 mb heights on the left and the surface
pressure (contours) and 1000-500 mb "thickness" (color
shading) on the right.
The thickness is proportional to the mean temperature in the vertical layer from near the surface to 18,000 feet. Clicking on either the left or right panel brings up a slightly larger picture of the individual field. Note that as forecast lead time increases the ensemble mean maps get smoother.
This reflects the fact that there is more uncertainty in the predictions at long lead times or further into the future. The "tight or peaked" distribution of states at the initial time is becoming more spread out as individual members "sample" different but plausible future solutions of the atmospheric circulation. This is nicely demonstrated by the spaghetti plots which are shown in the second column.
- In this column the 500mb ensemble mean has been repeated
and is shown side-by-side with a "spaghetti diagram".
The latter is constructed by taking two different 500 mb height
lines from each of the 23 members and plotting all of these
curves on one map. The two different lines are chosen to
represent a high latitude (blue line) and mid-latitude (red
line) 500 mb height. When all members are available, there
should be 23 blue lines and 23 red lines, one for each
ensemble member. At the initial time (000 hr fcst), the
two lines are very close together, reflecting a high level
of confidence in the initial atmospheric state.
However, even here there are slight differences and it's these differences that will result in very different forecasts of the future atmospheric state. As one goes further into the future the lines start showing more and more spread or scatter so that by, say, the 240 hr fcst and beyond they look like spaghetti.
This again demonstrates why the ensemble mean gets smoother. Information on individual storms is essentially lost so that one member may be predicting high pressure in a region while another is predicting low pressure. Averaging smoothes out these differences. However, there may still be useful information at these "long-lead" forecast times, especially for the larger scales of motion. This will be demonstrated later.
One additional feature has been added to the spaghetti plots, namely, two heavy green lines. They represent the two climatological lines of 500 mb height (heavy green lines) that correspond to the red and blue forecast lines. These change slightly every day and are based on about 30 years of global data. By comparing the high latitude green line with the blue lines and the lower latitude green line with the red lines, one can determine how far removed from climatology a particular region is observed (000 hr Fcst) or predicted (024 hr Fcst through 360 hr Fcst) to be. Note that as the scatter of the red and blue lines becomes more pronounced it tends to occur around these climatological lines. This suggests that the ensemble mean (or average of the forecast lines) is approaching climatology. Sometimes, however, even for predictions beyond 10 days (240 hours) most of the predicted lines may remain above or below their respective climatological lines. This might occur for a variety of reasons, e.g., ocean sea surface temperature departures due to an El Nino can produce persistent, long- lived departures from climatology.
- The third column is a repetition of the sea level
pressure/thickness ensemble mean on the left and the
spaghetti plot on the right. This couplet allows for easy
comparison of upper and lower level atmospheric features.
- The fourth column again shows the 500 mb ensemble mean
height along with the standard deviation or spread of
height among the ensemble members.
The mean and standard
deviation define the probability distribution of the
forecast at each lead time.
One can see that at the initial time the spread is small so that the distribution must be strongly peaked, i.e., there is relatively high confidence about the current state of the atmosphere. Any spread is due to the small perturbations introduced in the initial conditions of individual ensemble members. These perturbations are generally within the range of observational errors.
Early on in the forecast integration or cycle, many locations over the hemisphere are far removed from their climatological value (e.g., compare green lines with red and blue lines in column 3). This results from initial condition information related to individual weather systems and other processes (e.g., El Nino) that produce departures from climatology. As the forecast lead time increases, the departures from climatology get smaller and the spread gets larger. This means that the probability distribution is becoming less peaked and at very long lead times it should approach the climatological distribution. Once this is reached any predictive skill present in the initial conditions of the atmosphere (or in the ocean sea surface temperatures) has been lost and the "forecast" would be no better than using climatology. In practice, model errors and the manner whereby the initial conditions are perturbed produces a probability distribution that may deviate from the climatological distribution. Accounting for these errors and still extracting useful information is an area of current research at PSD.
- The sixth column shows the prediction of temperature at
850 mb, which is an atmospheric pressure level located at
about 5000 feet.
The temperature forecasts are shown at
this level rather than the surface because there tend to be
larger forecast errors at the surface in most atmospheric
prediction models. Broadly speaking, the temperature
departures from normal at the 850 mb level give an
indication of departures from normal at the surface. In the future, we may
produce a surface
temperature forecast using statistical regression. At any
rate, this field is probably most directly relevant and
useful in terms of a weather variable that people are
generally interested in. How cold or warm do the model
predictions say the temperature will be in the future? The
left panel shows the ensemble mean departures of 850 mb
temperature from a climatology in degrees Celsius (shaded
field) with the actual ensemble mean 500 mb heights
superimposed (contours).
Again, clicking on the figure will bring up a larger version in which features are seen more easily. The departures from normal are computed from a global dataset covering about 30 years of daily data. A question one might ask is: "How unusual are these temperature departures from normal?" The right panel answers this question by showing a normalized departure from climatology. It is computed by using the climatological standard deviation or spread (not shown) along with the departure from normal (left panel). Roughly speaking the numbers can be interpreted as follows. Regions where the numbers are +1.0 represent a positive departure from normal. If we remember our statistics we know that a normalized departure of +1.0 or greater occurs in a normal or gaussian distribution about 16% of the time. The same would be true for numbers of -1.0 or less; they also have a probability of occurrence of 16%. The climatological distribution of daily 850 mb temperatures can be assumed to be gaussian. Thus the percent probability of having a normalized 850 mb temperature departure of either +1.0 or -1.0 would be about 32%. Actually, this would be the probability at a particular location. Over the entire Northern Hemisphere a certain percentage of the area should be covered by such values as weather systems pull cold air southward and push warm air northward. A more extreme departure from normal is represented by values of +2.0 and -2.0. The percent probability of such values at a specific location would be about 2.5% for a value of +2.0 or greater and 2.5% for a value of -2.0 and less. These are truly rare events; for example, in a 90-day winter season there would be on average 4-5 days that would have departures from normal of -2.0 or +2.0.
Now, what happens to the ensemble mean predictions of the temperature departure at longer forecast times? As with the 500 mb heights, the size of the departures decreases because different ensemble members are predicting different temperatures at the same location. One member may move a storm relatively fast so that a region is in the cold air behind the storm while another member may move it more slowly so that the same region is in the warm air ahead of the storm. Averaging the two would result in a smaller temperature departure. However, we can also use the ensemble approach to determine a probability that the predicted temperature departure will be positive or negative. For example, let's assume 15 out of 23 members are predicting a storm will move fast and thus predicting a particular region will be in the cold air behind the storm while the other 8 members are predicting it will move slow and thus are predicting warm conditions in the region. Then one can say that the probability of cold conditions in the region is 15/23 = 65%. Rather than just asking whether it will be cold or warm in a region, one can also ask whether the departure will be larger enough to be one standard deviation from normal (i.e., the +1.0 or -1.0 numbers in the right hand plot of column 5) or even two standard deviations from normal. Such probabilities are shown in the plots of the next column.
- The description of column 6 products should be read
before this column. Clicking on an individual forecast
time brings up two plots. The plot on the left shows the
probability that the 850 mb temperature will be one
standard deviation above normal (green to red shading) or
one standard deviation below normal (blue to purple
shading). The plot on the right shows the same except for
a two standard deviation temperature departure.
The different colors represent the probability of the departure as predicted by the ensemble members. For forecasts further into the future these probabilities can be expected to decrease as the spread of the individual members increases or alternatively weather systems are predicted to do different things by the ensemble members (e.g., to grow or move differently). The minimum probability shown on both the left hand plot is 30% and on the right is 25%. This number means that 30% (or 25%) of the ensemble members are predicting the given standard deviation of 850 mb temperature. This is OK for the short forecast lead times (~ less than 5 days or 120 hours) but underestimates the information content of the predictions for the long forecast lead times. Remember from previous discussion that the probability distribution of the ensemble members tends to approach the climatological PDF at long lead times. Let's assume for the sake of argument that on average the climatological distribution is reached at 360 hours. This would mean that the probability of a one standard deviation positive temperature departure would be 16% - the climatological value. However, in some cases the atmosphere could be particularly predictable so that maybe 40% of the ensemble members are predicting a +1.0 departure. This would represent more than twice the climatological risk of such a departure; information that could be conceivably useful. However, this would not show up in the current plots.
- The last column allows the user to access all the products available in the previous six columns for a specific forecast time.
North American and Southern Hemisphere plots
All of the above plots are available from the same page for North America in the 2nd table. A subset of the plots available for the Northern Hemisphere are also shown for the Southern Hemisphere and can be accessed in the 3rd table on the page.

New unemployment rates for North Carolina counties show improvements, though Cumberland County remains higher than the state average.
In Cumberland, unemployment dropped to 9.7 percent in March from 10.2 percent in February, according to last week's report. But that 9.7 percent is the same as it was in March 2012, so no change year over year.
The statewide rate in March was 8.9 percent, unadjusted for seasonal fluctuations. All but one county saw declines from February, but only 78 out of 100 counties had lower unemployment than a year ago, which is a more valuable comparison.
In the Cape Fear region, here are the March jobless rates, compared with March 2012 in parentheses:
Bladen County: 12.1 percent (11.9 percent)
Columbus County: 11.9 percent (12.3 percent)
Harnett County: 10 percent (10.6 percent)
Hoke County: 8.9 percent (8.9 percent)
Lee County: 11.1 percent (11.6 percent)
Moore County: 8.7 percent (8.6 percent)
Robeson County: 12.3 percent (12.6 percent)
Sampson County: 8.1 percent (8.3 percent)
Scotland County: 16.1 percent (16.9 percent)
In the Fayetteville metro area, which is Cumberland and Hoke counties, we've had a net gain of 500 government jobs since March 2012 and net gains of 200 jobs each in manufacturing and the category of trade, transportation and utilities. Financial activities and education/health services shed 200 jobs each in the past year.
Jan Spell, president of the Hope Mills Area Chamber of Commerce, estimates the town has 12 to 15 entrances - not that anyone would know it. There are no signs telling motorists when they cross the town limits.
Spell wants to place "Welcome to Hope Mills" signs on North Main Street, Camden Road, Rockfish Road and other gateways. The chamber's proposal is scheduled to go before the town commissioners Monday, Spell said.
The signs, made with a variety of materials, would cost about $15,000, she said. The board will have four options to choose from, all with the town logo and motto.
Spell's efforts to boost the town's visibility were mentioned last week when she received the Outstanding Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award at Methodist University's Spring Entrepreneurial Leadership Summit. She is in her seventh year as president of the chamber. She and her husband own Terry Spell Land Development LLC.
She said she hopes to have at least some of the signs in place by July, when the town hosts a national youth baseball tournament. "We're trying to get the signs at all the entrances," she said. "We're excited about that."
The town board gave the chamber $25,000 more than a year ago to promote the town, which would pay for the signs.
Also, four billboards along Interstate 95 promote Hope Mills to north- and southbound traffic. Spell said they were paid for with money from the county Tourism Development Authority. Spell said the chamber has approval from Lamar Advertising to keep the signs up for another year.
"I'm proud to go down 95 and see that," Spell said. "It's like putting a big sign in the front yard."

Communication (COM)
Professors Gilbert and Vickery; Assistant Professor Diels.
The Communication program merges Alma's liberal arts emphasis on interdisciplinary study with a subject that is both timeless and timely: human communication. Communication majors investigate how messages and media influence individuals, groups, and societies. This investigation leads students to better understand, analyze, and address communication problems and practices in their interpersonal, organizational, technological and cultural contexts.
Communication majors complete core classes in communication and cognate areas such as ethics, critical thinking and language study. Students also choose a concentration of advanced courses in communication complemented by classes in allied disciplines. Majors in all concentrations take integrative capstone seminars and complete a required internship. Internships may be completed locally, overseas or through domestic programs such as the Philadelphia Center, the Urban Life Center in Chicago, the New York Arts Program, or the Washington Semester.
The Communication Major prepares students for graduate work in communication, media studies, journalism, public affairs, law, psychology and sociology, and to careers in fields like public relations, journalism, telecommunications, corporate communication, consulting, counseling, social work and human resources.
The department offers a minor in communication studies as well as an interdisciplinary minor in digital communication and new media. Because Communication is an interdepartmental major, students majoring in Communication are required to take 56 upper division credits of the 136 credits required for graduation.
Major Requirements (52 Credits)
- The COM major consists of 36 credits in COM and 16 credits of pre-approved cognate work in allied areas of study. Cognates may count toward second majors and minors.

However, should your boss tell you that do to the companies debt, your raise will only be 8%, increasing your pay to $21.60 per hour, you are not looking at a reduction in pay, only a smaller increase.
This is what all the democrats are ringing their hands and crying about.
A reduction in the growth of spending, which in fact is not a reduction in spending.
Then, for those who are so misinformed on our government, that they believe that Congress can pass a bill which requires subsequent Congresses to hold to it, you need to get an education, it can not do so.
Therefore, when a pol, be they Democrat or Republican, tells you that the plan will balance the budget over the next X years, he is lying to you or he believes that you are so uneducated that you do not know the truth of the matter.

Two New NIOSH FACE Program Reports Available New NIOSH Health and Safety Topic Page: Poisonous Plants
the Director's Desk |
Beauty and SafetyIn many parts of the country, November provides a last respite before cold temperatures and snow set in. For landscape services workers, it is a particularly busy month. Their trucks and vans are a common sight as lawns and gardens are raked, mowed, fertilized, and planted for winter and spring. Landscaping and groundskeeping add immeasurably to the beauty we see around us, and we respect the labor and care that go into this work. We safety and health professionals have a welcome opportunity to show our appreciation by doing all we can to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses among landscapers and groundskeepers. With a rate of about 25 deaths per 100,000 workers, the danger of fatal work-related injuries among this population is similar to that of other high-risk worker groups such as miners, but less well recognized. Although landscape services workers make up 0.8 percent of the U.S. workforce, disproportionately they account for 3.5 percent of all occupational fatalities. A new NIOSH fact sheet, Fatal Injuries Among Landscape Services Workers, highlights the fact that work-related motor vehicle fatalities—the leading cause of death on the job for all worker populations—also account for the largest percentage of fatal occupational injuries for landscape services workers. Deaths from falls, being struck by falling objects, and electrocutions occur more frequently among landscape services workers than among the overall U.S. workforce. Many landscape services workers are self-employed or work for a small business. Forty-one percent are Hispanic, compared with 16 percent of the total U.S. workforce. As a rule, these factors of diversity pose a challenge for traditional approaches in safety training and education. In addressing this question, the fact sheet notes numerous sources for free training and educational materials in Spanish as well as English. For employers, the fact sheet strongly emphasizes the following strategic steps necessary for worker safety:
The fact sheet is downloadable at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2008-144/. I would invite you also to consult and use four other new resources that we have added to the NIOSH Web site for identifying and addressing potential hazards in outdoor work. These are NIOSH safety and health topic pages on insects and scorpions http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/insects, venomous spiders http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/spiders/, venomous snakes http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/snakes, and poisonous plants http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/plants. Additional guidance for the hazards of working outdoors can be accessed at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/outdoor/. Landscape services workers put in long and productive hours from early in the morning to late in the evening. The results of their labor give all of us great visual pleasure every day. I hope that our new resources will help to make sure that their working hours are safe and healthy ones. |

Male Reproductive Effects from Occupational Exposure to Boron |
With an increased demand for boron-containing industrial and medical products, more workers are being exposed during mining and processing of boron ore, and more communities may be exposed to boron containing industrial wastes. Dr. Wendie Robbins (UCLA) completed a NIOSH-funded project focused on boron workers in China. Her findings showed that male boron workers experienced a decreased ratio of Y-bearing versus X-bearing sperm compared with men who did not work in the boron industry, and a shift in gender ratios of their offspring at birth, with boron workers having proportionally fewer sons at birth compared with the control group. This change of gender ratios has implications for the population as well as the affected individuals, with potential impacts for both community populations and socioeconomic dynamics. For additional information, contact Wendie A. Robbins, RN, Ph.D., at email@example.com. |

Product Information
The ProMag Flip-Up Rear Sight for the AR-15 attaches to any standard 1913 Picatinny rail and can be used as a co-witness iron sight with most red dot and holographic sights, or as a stand-alone sight. Weighing in at just over two ounces, this lightweight sight features the standard military A2-style double peep aperture, which allows for a known point of impact. The sight has full windage adjustment; one click of the windage knob provides approximately 0.48 MOA (minute of angle) change when mounted on the full size A3 flat top rifle and about 0.65 MOA on a carbine. The sight is low profile, so that when in the down position it will clear most optics. The sight locks in its upright position and uses a spring loaded release must be depressed to place the sight in the down position. The sight body and stem are machined from T6 aircraft grade aluminum, then type III hard anodized. Steel parts are CNC machined, then black phosphated per mil-spec.

I have a confession to make: I used to really dislike New Girl. In fact, I despised the show. In the beginning, I always felt like it was trying too hard, and Zooey Deschanel's character (along with the entire rest of the cast) really got on my nerves. But, slowly, it started to improve, and I not only began to watch it every week, but I also grew to like the characters. Especially Schmidt, the loveable-but-skeezy member of the bunch. And here are some of his best moments on the show!
Ohhh Schmidt, I may like you even better than Jess, even though she is the main character. Your goofy antics and ridiculous habits really do make New Girl a great show. Head on over to the source to see even more funny GIFs! [via Uproxx]

Illinois Response to Intervention (RtI)
What's New?
- Illinois RtI Network: 2012-2013 Area Networking Meetings (Updated 3/13/13) Networking meetings are designed to provide ongoing professional development and an opportunity to network with other districts regarding building sustainable systems to implement RtI. Meetings are appropriate for school staff and administrators who are supporting implementation of RtI at the building and district levels.
- Network Newsletter - Spring 2012
RFAs and RFPs
- Request for Applications (RFA) – External Coaches Cadre (Closed 5/30/12)
A core component of the Illinois RtI Network is training and supporting a cadre of external coaches across the state who will, in turn, train and support district teams, internal school coaches, and school teams in their implementation of RtI. Therefore, the Network is seeking applications from qualified individuals that are employed by public school districts, special education joint agreements/cooperatives, Regional Offices of Education, or Intermediate Service Centers to be trained and supported as external coaches under the Network. - RFA Attachment 1 (Application Form)
- Request for Applications (RFA) - Participating Districts (Closed 4/25/12)
The Illinois RtI Network has issued an RFA to identify additional public school districts to participate in the Network for the 2012-2013 school year. - RFA Attachments 1 & 2 (Application Form and District Needs Assessment)

Items of Interest
- Illinois State Response to Intervention (RtI) Plan
- Implementing RtI Using Title I, Title III, and CEIS Funds - Key Issues for Decision-makers
OSEP has released a PowerPoint presentation that provides some guidance on the use of federal funds to support response-to-intervention initiatives. This guidance clarifies how Title I, as well as Title III funds for English-language learners and Coordinated Early Intervening Services funds under IDEA, may be used to support tiered interventions and progress monitoring in an RTI model without violating the programs' fiscal rules.
- Illinois RtI District Self-Assessment Template
With the development of the State RtI plan, the next step for the stakeholder group was to develop a district self-assessment template. The stakeholder group reviewed self-assessment tools from multiple technical assistance projects, such as ASPIRE, PBIS, and CHOICES. Additionally, the group reviewed RtI self-assessment tools from several different states.
The purpose of this self-assessment template is to assist districts in determining their initial readiness toward implementation of RtI to meet the learning needs of ALL students. This template will assist districts in gathering baseline information regarding current resources and practices addressing scientific research-based instruction, progress monitoring, ongoing assessment and levels of intervention and problem-solving.
- ISBE hosted a Webinar training session on the Illinois Response to Intervention (RtI) District Self-Assessment on Friday, April 11, 2008.
- NASDSE RtI Blueprints
District and School Building Level RtI Blueprints are now available from NASDSE. Go to the NASDSE Website Homepage and look under "Publications". These blueprints can be downloaded for free and print copies are available for only $10 plus shipping costs.

The current version of WeakAuras is now located at http://www.wowace.com/addons/weakauras-2/
If you are upgrading from version 1.x to version 2, you will simply need to delete the old addon folders and copy in the new ones, and everything will work as it did before. Do not delete your WeakAuras SavedVariables or you will lose all of your displays.
i use this font for outgoing dmg.
also this addon provides some blood textures.
Last edited Oct 19, 2010 by rhozac -
Yeah I figured it might be another addon. I tried just loading weakauras but still got errors. Ill send a ticket in a second here. Hopefully you can see what is going wrong, because I am not that fluent in the language to see what is wrong.
1.2 is not working for me. can not open menu to edit/add auras. current auras are also not working properly.
Aside from that bad news, this is the addon I have been wanting for 4-5 years now. I am very grateful someone finally created something like this. I tried myself, but never had the time/desire to stick with it. I was never a big fan of PAC for various reasons. I am a cool down and timer nutcase so this addon was a godsend that helped refine my UI even more. Looking forward to how this addon evolves. great work
There is currently an issue with cooldowns of spells that are morphed, for example empowered Death Knight Ghouls, Priest Holy Word and others. The UI mechanic is that a spell gets replaced by a different spell on your action bar, but not in your spellbook - the newly morphed (and in all cases temporary) spell will actually never enter the spellbook.
In that situation, GetSpellCooldown() when called with the spellname always returns nil, while it works with the spellID. Obviously, the solution here is to call GetSpellCooldown() for a given trigger by ID and not by name. Given the fact that there are no spell ranks anymore and therefore never two player spells with the same name but different ID, it might eventually even be more elegant to always use IDs internally anyway.

Sept. 3, 2013 — During my favorite interview with Rolling Stone's guitarist Keith Richard, a journalist asked him why he didn't join the entourage that included the Beatles, the rest of the Stones, the Beach Boys, Donovan and all the other entertainment royalty who skipped off to study transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his ashram at the foot of the Himalayas in 1968.
I know it's hard to believe, but somehow, somewhere behind those glazed eyes and nicotine-stained eyebrows a coherent response quickly formed, and Richard simply said with a wrinkled grin, "Hey, I draw the line at maharishis."
I know how he feels. Over the years I've explored many varieties of soothsaying and encountered a number of kooky and not-so-kooky sooths. As a rule I don't put much faith in future trippers' predictions.
Sept. 3, 2013 — One of the most meaningful photographs in my life was taken Sept. 4, 1981 at Los Angeles International Airport. My parents boast grins almost stretching off their faces and me, at 8-months old, appear nothing but content to be sandwiched between their big hug.
I'm not sure at what point the picture was framed, high school maybe, but I took that photograph with me to college where it graced several dorm rooms and then it had a spot in several Southern California apartments. It served as a conversation starter with numerous roommates because of the significance that day held for my parents and me.
Aug. 27, 2013 — Every year the first Monday of September we celebrate Labor Day — the last big three-day weekend of the summer.
While the holiday may have started more than 100 years ago as a creation of the labor movement and unions to honor the contributions of American workers to the America, it has become the last long weekend for family fun before many schools start, the days get shorter and we all settle in for another fall and the arrival of winter.
We no longer celebrate Labor Day with local parades and speeches by local politicians and dignitaries, preferring to spend the weekend with family and friends out in nature.
Aug. 27, 2013 — During the August meteor showers my husband, Terry, and I drove to the Swain Mountain Snowmobile Park and set up comfortable camp chairs so we could lean back and view the night sky. The show was better than fireworks. We could not suppress our excitement each time we caught the brilliant streak of a "shooting star."
The middle of the forest is perhaps the best place to view a meteor shower, but driving up the mountain late in the evening was a choice. There is that tendency not to make the effort because the next day you will be short of sleep, or it is too cold, or the night sky might disappoint, etc.

Budget cuts are forcing Manatee Glens to close its residential treatment program for teenagers with substance abuse and mental issues despite an increase in requests for service.
The Adolescent Recovery Center, which provides teenagers with therapy and counseling while attending classes, will close June 30, the organization's Chief Operating Officer Deborah Kostroun said.
The $1.1 million center, which housed up to 16 children, was paid through county, state and private funding. A 10% cut in funding from Manatee County amounted to a $53,000 loss for the program.
"That doesn't seem like a significant mount, but we were barely able to sustain it on a full budget," Kostroun said. "We just couldn't run it on any less money. Acknowledging that, we tried to figure out a way that we can serve these children and more children with a different level of care."
Kostroun said the money that would have gone to the facility now will go toward intensive outpatient services for the children who would have used the center. Under the new format, Manatee Glens will be able to serve about 80 children.
"The county has been very supportive and creative in helping us to serve the community," Kostroun said. "(The program) has been wonderful."

Farm wants to sell more of its fruit in Canada
Evelyn and David Ernst are the founders of Terra Beata Farms Ltd. in Lunenburg, N.S. Established in 1998, the company ships frozen cranberries all around the world but has had trouble breaking into Canada's big supermarket chains.
(Paul Darrow for the Globe and Mail) -
Terra Beata Farms, located on Nova Scotia's Heckman's Island, employs from eight to 30 people, depending on the season. Its revenue was about $3-million last year.
(Paul Darrow for The Globe and Mail) -
It's harvest time at Terra Beata Farms in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. Becca Ernst, left, daughter of farm owners Evelyn and David Ernst, works with employee Tina Halliday. Cranberries are harvested with the help of water. When the fruit is ripe, the bogs are flooded, and then the berries are knocked off their plants with a paddle-wheel-type harvester.
(David Ernst/Terra Beata Farms) -
Don Taylor, a fellow cranberry farmer at Riverbend Cranberries in Lawrencetown, N.S., helps with the harvest at Terra Beata Farms. After the berries are knocked off the plants, they float to the water's surface. Then, working with the wind, a worker wields a boom and collects the fruit, which is then pumped off the field.
(Terra Beata Farms) -
The harvested berries are prepared for processing.
(Paul Darrow for The Globe and Mail) -
Workers conduct quality checks on cranberries at Terra Beata Farms.
(Paul Darrow for The Globe and Mail) -
Containers of newly harvested cranberries are moved to the juicer. The company makes finished cranberry products such as cranberry mincemeat, salsa, chutney, jelly and sauce with no added sugar.
(Paul Darrow for The Globe and Mail) -
Cranberries are poured into the juicer.
(Paul Darrow for The Globe and Mail) -
Here is a bog newly planted with cranberry plants at Terra Beata Farms. Cranberries are perennial plants and can yield berries for more than 100 years.
(Terra Beata Farms) -
In July the cranberry plants produce blossoms. The plants grow to about 15 centimetres tall.
(Terra Beata Farms) -
In September, the cranberry fruits are green. By November they will be red and ready for harvest.
(Terra Beata Farms) -
Terra Beata's dried cranberries have less added sugar than other brands on the market.
(Terra Beata Farms) -
Terra Beata Farms also makes a mincemeat filling that customers say tastes like "Christmas in a jar," co-owner Evelyn Ernst says.
(Patsy Gallagher/Terra Beata Farms) -
Sean Conrad, production manager at Terra Beata Farms, enjoys a light moment on the last day of harvest.

I'm about to get a new PS3 and would like to rely on the built-in data transfer utility to move stuff from my currently working unit to the new one...I've heard a lot of different stories on what does or does not transfer from the MNR game data but all of these stories seem to relate to non-DTU approaches (memory stick transfer/backup utility).
Has anybody used the data transfer utility using 2 working PS3s? If so what gets transferred in regard to:
- Season progress and, more importantly, the unlockable objects
- Current mods, karts, and tracks being worked on but not yet published
- My available list of downloaded mods/karts/tracks
01-11-2011 05:34 PM - edited 01-11-2011 05:36 PM
I've done the data transfer utility and it completely fails in regards to anything MNR.
-Any work in progress does not get transfered.
-ANYTHING you've downloaded does not get transfered. That means if you've downloaded a mod/kart that is no longer published there is no way to use it again unless the original creator re-publishes it and you re-download it.
You even have to go so far as to download your OWN creations again to be able to use them. It doesn't even transfer those.
I believe the only thing it does transfer is your career progress and unlocked items. Not 100% certain on the career though, I was done with it when I did the transfer and have never been back. All the items unlocked through token purchases are still unlocked though.
on 01-11-2011 06:20 PM
Wow that really bites but thanks for the info.
Too bad you can't upload a MNR profile somewhere that stores all of your work-in-progress and downloads lists, I definitely don't want to publish half-finished stuff as remixable so I can download it later to finish it. Plus, wouldn't the items then show up in the downloads section as opposed to your own creations??
Now I'm curious about where that data is stored and why the copy-protection transfer rules don't apply here.
Anybody know of any solutions for this? I would assume the backup utility would be treating this data the same way...
01-11-2011 06:30 PM - edited 01-11-2011 06:31 PM
Well you don't have to publish work in progress stuff as remixable since once you download on the new PS3 the system recognizes it as your creation.
What I did was publish from the old PS3, log in on the new PS3, download and then unpublish. You then have the work in progress on your new PS3 and the half assed creation isn't out there for others to download.
it's a pain and a process we shouldn't have to deal with, but it works.

Richard Serra, Tilted Arc, New York, 1988. Paintstick on paper, Sheet: 18 x 24 inches, Collection of the artist © Richard Serra. Photo: Rob McKeever
Richard Serra's drawing retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York offers a dynamic overview of his 40 years of experimentation with process, materials, scale and perception of space on paper and in monumental installations of black, oil-sticked canvases stapled directly to the gallery walls. One of the special features of the comprehensive show is a selection of 28 of Serra's sketchbooks, which are on view in the final gallery. Artspace editor Paul Laster queried the artist about the drawing notebooks at the Met.

lilodoe from Creston, BC, Rating:5.0Needed to buy new screws, came with 1" and we needed 7/8 " and 1 1/4 ', but that couldn't be avoided. No big deal.

14liberty from SLC, Utah, Rating:5.0Excellent item for my large family. No more glass glasses for us! These tumblers are perfect for the family with lots of kids. Hard to break and a decent price for 72 glasses. Used a coupon and got an even better deal!
Dec 3, 2013
rfinley from Pittsburgh, PA, Rating:5.0On the small side, so they are great for my dachshunds, but not so much for my bigger dogs. Thicker than I thought they would be, that's a plus! Super cute design, and soft! Easy care, machine wash has not ruined them one bit. Definitely would order again!

lewis58 from Scottsdale, AZ, Rating:2.0The handle is always falling apart when you pick it up. It doesn't pick things off the floor unless you go very slow--not handy.
Nov 29, 2013
midwestgrandma from Greenfield, IN, Rating:5.0Used it for the first time on Thanksgiving. I've always wanted something like this and the timer worked great. Plugged it in the turkey and checked back in two hours. No muss, no fuss no bother. This is one kitchen accessory that will be used a lot in my home.

Nino Franco Prosecco Rustico
"A rather exuberant yet steely, powerful Prosecco. White peaches, crushed rocks, smoke and flowers are some of the nuances that flow from this large-scaled, important Prosecco. A rich, textured finish rounds things out nicely. The Rustico is far from an easy-going cocktail wine, and is sure to be better at the table than on its own."
