Power of Five Show Goes Out With a Bang
With many of the biggest food processors missing from this years FMI show, the Power of Five team will split up next year. But new products were plentiful.
For a report focusing on the All Things Organic and Fancy Food shows, click here.
The May 6-8 Food Marketing Institute FMI Show may have been the end of an era. After 31 annual events, the last 23 in Chicago, the show will be changing its location, format and frequency next year. With 13 of the 20 largest food processors skipping the show this year, perhaps the writing was on the wall.
The annual spring celebration of new grocery products nevertheless was resplendent with 30,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors spread among five shows. In addition to mainline FMI grocery show, the event also housed the Fancy Food Show, All Things Organic, United Fresh Marketplace and U.S. Food Export Showcase, as it has for the past four years.
Missing this year from the main show (for the first time) were Tyson, Pepsico, ConAgra, Kellogg, Cadbury Schweppes and Cargill. Dole, Hormel, Maple Leaf, Pilgrim's Pride, Sara Lee, Smithfield and Swift skipped this year and last year.
Next year, the grocery show will keep the same format - billed as "FMI Show Plus Marketechnics" - but it will be in Las Vegas May 5-7. The following year it will be replaced by the FMI Leadership Education Forum in Dallas, with those two formats alternating. Different locations are being considered, and FMI officials say it's likely one of the shows will return to Chicago.
The United Fresh Marketplace will follow FMI to Las Vegas next year. On the other hand, All Things Organic Conference and Trade Show, Spring Fancy Food Show and National Assn. of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) U.S. Food Export Showcase will return to Chicago in late April 2008.
Healthy and energetic
Health and wellness, energy enhancement and upscale ingredients (all in convenient formats) were the most notable trends at the FMI show.
Ensconced in the largest booth at the show, Northfield, Ill.-based Kraft Foods Inc. showcased more than 70 new foods and beverages in a novel, Internet-based, interactive, virtual world it called Second Life.
Although three in four Americans haven't heard of probiotics, which help support digestive health, Kraft rolled out LiveActive Cheese Sticks and Cheese Cubes with probiotics ... and Breakstone's and Knudsen LiveActive Cottage Cheese with prebiotic fiber are coming in September. Calorie-watchers can satisfy their snack craving with Jell-O Fruit Passions Cups (individual 6 oz. cups combine sugar-free Jell-O gelatin with a full serving of fruit) and South Beach Diet Chicken Salad Kits, where you simply mix up Louis Rich chicken, Kraft dressings, Kraft cheese, Planters nuts and fruit.
One of the most popular destinations in the Kraft booth was DiGiorno Ultimate Pizza, a superpremium pizzeria-style pie with crushed vine-ripened tomatoes, julienne vegetables and specialty meats and cheeses. Baby boomers enjoyed Kraft's homage to mac and cheese with adult version Kraft Bistro Deluxe Pastas - made with sundried tomatoes, Portobello mushrooms and Asiago cheese. Philadelphia Cracker Spreads, with an actual crunch of natural cheeses, herbs and vegetables for premium snacking, also were a hot commodity. Oscar Mayer Deli Creations Hot Sandwich Melts are microwavable sandwiches that combine Kraft dough technology with brands like Oscar Mayer meats, Kraft cheeses and Grey Poupon mustard.
A neat innovation is Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon in Stay Fresh Reclosable Tray, developed after consumers asked for it. Kraft also expanded its Oreo franchise with Nabisco Oreo Cakesters Soft Snack Cake, Oreo crème sandwiched between two chocolate cakes for more indulgent consumers.
Minneapolis-based General Mills is on a rollout as well. Healthier options include Yoplait Yo-Plus Yogurt with Optibalance, a blend of cultures and natural fiber for digestive health, and Go-Gurt Fizzix fizzy yogurt snack in a tube in three intense fusion flavors. Although targeted to tweens, that fizzy experience is fun for geezers as well. Green Giant Health Blends - Healthy Weight, Healthy Vision and Immunity Boost - are microwavable frozen vegetables.
General Mills also partnered with the Curves fitness franchise for four Curves weight management products (two cereals and two chewy granola bars). Also new are General Mills' Fiber One bars with 35 percent of the DV of fiber; Cascadian Farm organic Purely Steam Frozen Vegetables, and Organic Chewy Granola and Vanilla Chip Bars; and Muir Glen Chef Inspirations, canned organic soups. Coming in July is Cheerio's Crunch with Oat Clusters and whole grain Chocolate Chex cereals.
And while there was no Betty Crocker Cookbook this year, that General Mills division debuted Betty Crocker Microwaveable Warm Delights Minis (only 150 calories). A more indulgent offering was Simply Bake Bars in Turtle Supreme and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk.
Stock up the pantry
Unilever USA, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., added three new flavors -- Caesar Delight, Asian Silk and French Flair -- to its Wishbone Spritzers line, and soon will be extending it's Bertolli Dinner for Two Meals options (think Mediterranean).
Camden, N.J.-based Campbell Soup Co.'s Pepperidge Farm brand unveiled four Artisan bread varieties: Sourdough Petite Loaves, Rosemary Olive Oil Petite Loaves, Hearty Wheat Rolls and French Demi-Baguettes
Sunsweet Growers Inc., Yuba City, Calif., makes munching fun with Sunsweet Ones, individually wrapped California prunes, and Sunsweet Premium Varietal Berry Blend (wild Blueberries, Bing Cherries, Raspberries, Cranberries and Red Tart Cherries), which combine sweet and tart flavors. Also yummy are Sunsweet PlumSweets, dark chocolate-coated antioxidant-rich plum bites.
Snyder's of Hanover, Hanover, Pa., introduces whole grain snacks including MultiGrain Sunflower Chips, MultiGrain Cheese Puffs, MultiGrain Pretzel Nibblers and MultiGrain Tortilla Strips, shaped for dipping in Jalapeno Red, Savory Blue and Flaxseed Gold.

Revision of WoW-Pro Addon from Sat, 2010-11-13 08:16
WoW-Pro is pleased to present it's brand new, custom coded addon! In the future this addon will be able to bring all of our awesome guides into the game, but for now it is only compatible with leveling guides.
The addon is designed to provide easy, streamlined questing and leveling in a completely customizable package.
More details about the new addon and awesome screenshots after the break.
You can download our addon from:
REQUIRED Addons
The WoW-Pro addon currently REQUIRES TomTom (download here) in order to work properly.
INTERIM USE ONLY: Our addon will now pull coordinates from Lightheaded if none are provided. All coordinates WILL be provided in the future.
Automatic detection of objective completion:
- Detect quest accept, completion and turn-in
- Detect travel (in any form)
- Detection of flight point discovery
- Detection of Hearth point change
- Conditionals based on player's class, race, completed quests, and item possession
Completely customizable frame:
- Size can be changed to display many steps or only one
- Step explanations can be displayed always or only show on hover over
- Text can be customized: font, color, and size can be changed
- Spacing and padding of the guide window can be customized.
- Border and background texture can be changed or removed
- Background color can be changed
- Titlebar displaying zone and progress can be removed
Other awesome features:
- Integrated quest tracker (can be disabled if desired)
- Integrated quest item buttons
- Easily accessed view of entire guide
- Sortable guide lists
- Automatic mapping of coordinates with TomTom
- LDB quick open/close button
- Profile management for display settings
- Supports step skipping (the guide knows the difference between a skipped step and a completed step)
Minimalist View w/ Mouse-over Notes
Dropdown Menu
Sort-able Guide List
Current Version: 1.7.0
NOTE: This addon is still in a heavy development stage. It is recommended that you delete the WoWPro.lua file in your WTF folder when upgrading to the new version. However, this will result in the loss of manually checked off guide progress and display settings.
New Features
- Several guide files have been updated
- Keybindings added!
- Custom print function tells you when it's our addon talking to you
Bug Fixes:
- Serious crash issue related to quest items fixed!
- Issue related to getting quest objectives fixed
- Issue related to getting quest entries from the log fixed
- Taint issues introduced by checking party members fixed
- Addon now checks if item exists before attempting to set it as a use item.
Known Issues:
- Unable to check off item - the step probably doesn't have a QID, which means it's a mistake in the guide file. There are sadly still a lot of these around. Try right-clicking the check box, or listing it as sticky. We'll fix these as they find them but we have to be focused more on Cataclysm guides right now. Sorry!
- Profession Quest Error: Profession-specific quests currently cause the guide to throw an error, because of the changes to the profession window. Will be fixed in the next version!
- Occasional crash/DC - the addon is causing occasional crashes and DCs. We are working to find the source of this issue - please report any occurrences of this so we can determine the problem! It may have to do with conflicting addons, so if you do experience this problem, try disabling other addons and see if that allows you to continue.
How To Help:
If you'd like to help code, update, or test guide files, head over to our How To Contribute page on gitthub!
Though this addon is now in it's release stage, it's still new. There may be bugs. The best place to report them is on github, but I will respond here as often as I can. Thanks!
Possible Future Features:
- Animation for checking off steps (a check mark appears, old quest fades out, other quests move up).
- Either integration of the arrow, or permission from TomTom's author to redistribute their addon, maintaining the author's name and the addon's original name (basically leaving the addon untouched).
- Support for area vs. patrol vs. player run path type coordinates.
- Auto-load a guide based on level
- A separate "shopping list" frame which can be opened with a button on the title bar, used for a couple things in the leveling guide but which will get the most use for profession guides.
- Improved logic/display for multi-objective steps. Not exactly sure how this would work, but perhaps have "substeps" which are displayed together, and checked off as they are completed.
Possible Future Modules:
- WoW-Pro Talents - Easy talent recommendations while leveling, for all specs. Possibly include rotation suggestions as well. For players jumping in partway through, it should be able to detect their current talent changes and adjust accordingly, or recommend a respec if the talents are too messed up. Talents should be prioritized to make sure people pick up the most vital ones. Recommendations of glyphs would also be nice.
- WoW-Pro Dungeons - Guides to dungeons. Easy access while leveling, recommended dungeons for your level and gear. Include gear lists, etc. Step by step guides, preferably with pictures, includes boss kill strategies.
- WoW-Pro Gold Making - Daily quests, gathering/farming circuits, perhaps even auctioneer advice.
- WoW-Pro Reputation - Reputation guides created using the addon.
- WoW-Pro Holiday - Holiday guides created using the addon.
- WoW-Pro Achievements - Other achievement guides.
- WoW-Pro Professions - Profession and tradeskill guides.
Possible Future Modules:
If I missed you or you think you should be included somewhere else on this list, please let me know! I'm very forgetful!

7.3 Verion
Submitted by EnigmaTL on Wed, 2017-08-30 00:22.
Got the new 7.3 version but having a issue where it keeps asking me "Do you want to switch to quest XXXX" constantly untill I tell it to "Don't ask" No error is thrown just keeps asking oiver and over even if you say yes or No.
7.3 version - do you want to switch
Submitted by Emmaleah on Mon, 2017-09-18 09:54.
I agree, it needs to change how its doing that, the constant spamming of do you want to change guides is not working as intended.

Goin' through the old guides...
Submitted by Urdui on Mon, 2017-06-19 07:14.
I noticed that in the old guides there are some quests still in the guide that have been removed from the game. For example: the Grandmatron Tekla portion of the Watershed quests in Durotaur. It was noted in the comments for that guide by someone in 2016, but it's still in the current guide. I'd remove it, but I don't have enough Karma to edit the guide yet. I've been gone for a while, so it looks like all my old site Karma is gone.
Also it doesn't look like the forwarding mechanism to advance the old guides is working. I have to manually open up the guide and check the Move to next guide box manually for the guides to advance. I AM doing this on higher level characters, so I'm not sure if it might be the higher level characters that this is only happening on. I'm planning on starting a new alt and will remort on my characters at level soon.
World Quests
Submitted by rpotor on Sat, 2016-09-17 07:06.
Started working on the pet battle world quests. Is there a way in the addon to check if a World Quest is currently active? The AVAILABLE tag does not seem to do the trick as it considered a world quest active which was in fact, not.
Re: World Quests
Submitted by rpotor on Sun, 2016-09-18 19:47.
What I would like to achieve is that the guide should only show those steps which are associated with the currently available world quests. I think this could be best solved with a new tag, let's say WQACTIVE. When the parser encounters such a tag, it would run the QID specified against the magic World Quest availability logic you quoted above and it would only show the step if the World Quest of that QID is currently available for the player.Would that World Quest availability code work even if the player is in another zone? That would be perfect.
Essentially I'd like this so we'd be able to simply automagically guide the player towards those world quests which are currently up and not require him/her to go look up the world map, check all the zones and figure out which quests are up and then how to get to them, ideally the addon would do this by way of the above described tag.
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2016-09-17 19:57.
AVAILABLE was created before Blizzard had the current method of randomly having some quests available some days, so what it actually means is that you have done all the prerequisites done for the quest. I don't know if in the API there is a way to determine which quests are offered on a given day besides going to the quest giver.
You could try using QID|*|NPC|npc_id#| in the "A" step. This will pick up whatever quest the npc offers. Unfortunately it doesnt work in all situations. (Ludo could explain why). Then you put the "C" step for all the quests and the "T" step with a lowercase "t". "C" steps only show for a quest in your log and "t" steps only show if the quest is complete. I dont know that will work though because the NPC id is for whatever the AI alert is??? (which is probably multiple npc's besides).
After thinking about it some more... I would do something like
N World Quests|QID|99999|N|Open your map and determine what World Quests you want to pursue. |
C how to do possible quest 1
C how to do possible quest 2
etc etc ... Did you see there are 666 possible world quests... hummm......
No A steps, no T steps, Are they auto turned in on completion? I havent finished getting faction to open up World Quests yet, so I don't know.

Submitted by rpotor on Sun, 2016-09-18 08:37.
Perfect solution, this works nicely. Only problem is we can't show the way to the quests based on which ones are available. But that's not a huge problem I think, world quests are clearly shown on the world map and when you click on them, the minimap shows that golden arrow thingy which the user can follow.
Fortunately there are only 36 pet battle world quests, I'm not interested in the remaining 630 :-)
By the way, yes, world quests are auto accepted once you are near them and they are auto completed once you do their objectives.
Oh, and I forgot to post it here, but I made an API dump of all the available battle pets which might come handy for other battle pet guide authors. You can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/4ydqoy/battle_pets_api_dump/
auto guide switch
Submitted by Blanckaert on Sun, 2016-09-04 03:40.
Hey Ludo...
Current guide loaded was highmountain, and just to try something I picked up the quest from My 'Hall'; to get another weapon. I get the dialog to switch guide to the Mage Order Hall, that contains the quest, then I go to open the Current guide through the interface page under wow-pro and game locks up. Also tried to do it right clicking on the guide box, same thing.
and of course since it 'crashes' each time I relogin in it asks me to switch to that guide. (times 1-3)
4th -Said'no' this time, and switched manually and it locked up again.
(it did properly load the highmountain guide and 'view' the current guide)
5th time: Manually selected, and logged out.
6th time: looked at log, have enable addon and enable grail checked, 7.0.3N - Quest listed is An Unexpected Message. Hit Esg, clicked Addons, clicked wow-pro, then current guide. Crashed again.
7th - didnt bother trying anymore.
Was bored, went to get the other two weapons... was at the end of the guide (till lvl 110) and opened the 'current guide' and it did... I scrolled UP the guide and as soon as I got 'unexpected message' at the top of the screen, it locked up again.

Suramar Guide
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2016-09-17 20:02.
Blanckaert has prepared a draft version of this guide, if you wanted to try it and suggest improvements it would be appreciated. He wants everyone to realize it is NOT a polished guide.

Submitted by Blanckaert on Sat, 2016-09-17 20:58.
Yeah... it is not finished, or polished.. ;) And it doesn't help if I setup the guide wrong (ie Suramur) ;)
Emma, Ludo, Fluclo, Jiy (and anyone else I forgot)... I didnt realize until I started to ATTEMPT to make a guide... how much work actually does go into making a guide.... So.. Hats off to you all... and thanks for what you do, and have done.

My highest toon is level 103. It'll take a while before I get to Suramar, I got 24 to level, with 3 still under 100.
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sun, 2016-09-04 07:38.
Depends on how you define near future. At this time, no one has commited to starting one. I think i will be spending my time getting the various class guides in better shape for the forseeable future.
We certainly want to have one and someone will at some point make one. But, at this point I don't have a clue who or when.

Choppy graphics issue
Submitted by Revii on Sat, 2016-09-03 04:00.
When using this addon, I've recently noticed that my visual becomes a bit choppy, even when frame rate reads 60 or more fps (Sometimes as high as 97). I went through a number of trial and error checks with the game's graphics options today before stumbling on just turning this addon off and the problem is solved, no more choppiness. Does anyone have any clues as to what could be the cause of this? I've been using this addon for a long time and I've never had this problem till recently, some time before Legion came out but after Mists.
Alliance Stormheim
Submitted by jmathews05 on Sat, 2016-09-03 02:26.
So I cannot find the guide for the Alliance Atormheim. I looked in the folders, under Leveling > Horde and the Stormheim guide is in there. Then went into Leveling > Alliance and there is no Stormheim guide. Is there somewhere I can copy the guide from? Is it safe to copy the horde version into the alliance folder? Please let me know what to do.
3 times thru to make a decent guide
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2016-09-03 03:37.
I would like to reitterate what Ludo said. The result is really messy (bordering awful) if you do less than 3 times through. That would be the problem with the class guides. I didnt at first realize there was more after finishing the artifact so I deleted the characters after making them (after all, you only get 12 on a server). Then, there just wasnt time to take them through. To get quallity guides you would have to have (for this expansion 36 max, 110 level characters) in Pandaria, I had to level probably 10 characters... and had A LOT more time since I got my beta key when only Jade forest was in existance. Big differance in the quality of the guides.
You can't make meaningful decisions about rank until then and getting all treasures and rares placed reasonably well may take even longer.

Copy what is here under alliance stormheim to your alliance leveling directory and then add the name to the guides.xml file in that directory.

Submitted by icanbeurbestbet on Sat, 2016-09-03 19:04.
I don't know coding but I would like to help in anyway I can. I have been using your guides since they were first on Tour Guide and have found them invaluable and have recommended to a lot of my friends and guildies. You guys do great work and I know there's a lot of testing needing to be done, I can't commit a ton of time but I can commit some. I just don't know HOW I can help.
We need more volunteers
Submitted by tubera on Sat, 2016-09-03 15:18.
Basically, we just need more volunteers to tweak the guides. So please share suggestions on how the guides can be made better. Emma and Ludo can't do everything alone.
Treasures on Rank 1
Submitted by soccerace21 on Sat, 2016-09-03 00:09.
How do you change the rank of items? I grew tired of all the treasure waypoints in the new zones, so I changed the guide to rank 1, logged out and back in, but there are still a lot of treasures and bonus objectives under rank 1. The one I'm currently using is for Val'sharah
Treasures on Rank 1
Submitted by soccerace21 on Sun, 2016-09-04 15:43.
Ok I did a few quests in high mountain, making note of the different treasure steps, and this is what I found - again based on my opinion of what's considered out of the way:
Out of the way: Step 74, 75, 168, 176(rare) , 195 (rare), 196 [195 & 196 - had to go up ramp to right, quest objective was straight ahead from quest keeper], 207 (rare) - opposite direction from existing quest
Good, en route to quest: 142, 143, 169 (or 171 - one of them was in the house behind the quest giver), 197
Some of them could also be a matter of waypoint priority/grouping (like 143), where the chests are on the way to the quest, but the step states only treasure but not grouped like others indicating the quest is the same way: So, one could skip the step thinking it's just for a treasure, not realizing they would end up passing it anyway.
Treasures on rank 1
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2016-09-03 02:03.
The only treasures on rank one are the ones you practically walk beside. I'm sorry you still think that is too many. That being said, I'm currently running thru there on rank 1 and I did move a very few to rank 2. What are some of the steps you felt were too far out of the way to have been included?
To your actual question, open the guide in a text editor, do a search for $, append "RANK|2|" (or 3) to the end of each line that begins with $ , Then search for "K Kill" and do the same thing. You will have customized the guide for your personal taste. Keep a copy somewhere else, because everytime you download updates it will be overwritten. (Unless you also rename it and register it as an entirely new guide.

Treasures on rank 1
Submitted by soccerace21 on Sat, 2016-09-03 20:39.
I will keep an eye on which ones I thought were out of the way when I re-quest in the zones. I was skipping them doing this play through. Some I didn't mind, like the treasures in the house at Bradensbrook behind a quest giver. But some of them would send me in 1 direction, and the quest was in another.
Again, next playthrough, and any unfinished zones for this playthrough, I'll keep notes.
Rank 3
Submitted by tubera on Sat, 2016-09-03 01:56.
Accoring to the documentation they should be under 3, but considering the guides have only just been created and still in need of tweaking. ranks have not been implemented in the guides yet.

Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2016-09-03 02:08.
Actually what it says is that ALL are included at rank 3. What I was trying to imply was that some are at lower ranks, but if you want to get the achievement you need to do it on rank 3 I was trying to avoid a complete wall of text in the start of the guide to explain that.
I considered the possibility that someone would want to do it without, but then I read an excellent Blue post on the subject [of waiting to collect artifact power until after you have the multipliers] and decided not to worry about it.
Emmaleah == bravely leading the way since ... um a long time ago...
I read the blue post
Submitted by elidion on Sat, 2016-09-03 19:27.
And while I understand the sentiment I completely disagree with his TLDR of just pick them up as you find them. Some may think it a chore to go back later and do them but I personally enjoy the treasure hunting and it will give me something to look forward to later on. If we were talking about just 1 or 2 treasures then that would be one thing but there are literally hundreds. And while some sources of AP later on might seemingly seem high it's because of the artifact research knowledge. I think he missed the point when he mentioned how it's balanced around 20% increase now is the same as 20% later or what not. But there is a huge difference between you picking up a 10AP statuette right now, or later when it is worth 2500ap. I believe I saw someone post that it's roughly 5000ap worth of treasures from treasure hunting and rares at base level. So if you actually be patient and wait to 25 research level, 2x statuettes will be equal to the entierty of treasure hunting done at base level. If the 5000AP for all treasures is accurate, that means you would have a 1.245 million AP advantage over people that didn't wait. I don't think that's an insignificant number to say it doesn't matter. IT may be a drop in the bucket compared to all the AP required for all your specs...but more reason to wait it out and get the most of it.That all said, I too wish there was a way to ignore treasures. My biggest problem is when I skip them, everytime I relog or goto my order hall and back I have all the treasures I skipped come back so I gotta go and click off like 50 treasures to get back to where I was if i'm in middle of it.
Broken quests tracking..?
Submitted by lems on Thu, 2016-09-01 12:25.
Love this guide and helps me out a lot, although this version is a major bug. I have done most artifact quest's yet this guide repeatly says I have not done them, so I cant finish that part up even if I skip it ( both ways ) it'll end up going back and stuck in a loop of quest's that I have already done. Doing manual load of guide's works fine but a few quest's end up doing the same and just sends you on a endless circle where you are stuck with no further options on where to go or what to do next.
Out of the 6 characters I have, 5 has their guide broken for them and is stuck in a loop hole with no solutions.

Submitted by Emmaleah on Fri, 2016-09-02 16:45.
The only guides I had time to take beyond the initial getting your artifact were hunter, monk and paladin. They all need the details of what happens after you finish the initial zones and then the chapters of class hall development. My monk made it into chapter two, hunter and pally not even finished chapter one.
[This is what happens when you don't get beta access until 6 weeks before release. It sounds like such a long time, it wasn't ]

I was just curious as to when the guide for 7.0.3M would be released? I know it says August 30th on the page, just curious as to if it was done yet or if would be a little while longer. Not trying to sound like an ahole, i just REALLY enjoy using this addon for getting all the zones completed in the most efficent way possible. Thanks in advance! xD

Does not work I download it properly and put it into my addon folder and extract it and it does not work in game someone help me . Also these captcha do not work i always enter in the right one and it never works i have to enter it in about 15 times before it works this is ridiculous
Submitted by jncallantine on Fri, 2016-08-05 02:07.
I had the same problem as you. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong though. The Captcha request is case sensitive. so make sure that your using upper and lower case letters when appropriate. I would request that they document it on the Captcha request. That and I've a color blindness (blue-green) so some of those are really hard for me to see the little letters.
Hope this helps.

The most common problem I have seen with installing is getting the directory wrong. It will default unzip to the name of the zip file in the directory you choose (usually that is the addons directory). You then need to move all of the directories inside the zip file into the addon directory.
See http://wow-pro.com/wiki/addon_troubleshooting_guide for pictures and tips.

Veterinary technicians and assistants provide essential patient care. They are pivotal in all aspects of animal care, and make it possible for veterinarians to treat multiple patients as once or see many patients for exams conducting all types of treatments. I rely on them daily in the care for my patients.
Veterinary technicians and assistants provide essential patient care. They are pivotal in all aspects of animal care, and make it possible for veterinarians to treat multiple patients as once or see many patients for exams conducting all types of treatments. I rely on them daily in the care for my patients.
Technicians draw blood for laboratory tests, take radiographs, place intravenous catheters, start IV fluids, give medications, clean wounds, place bandages, place splints, prepare surgical sites, help patients recover after surgery, assist with dental cleanings, monitor vitals, monitor patients under anesthesia, administer CPR, provide nursing care, keep patients calm and comfortable, give love to the animals, and many more tasks to numerous to list.
Technicians also are a valuable information resource for clients. They discuss home care, review procedures that have taken place and answer questions. Please remember to give these staff members your full attention when they are explaining medical issues. Often they can provide very specific information about the care of your pet because they have worked directly with your cherished companion.
Registered veterinary technicians have gone through formal training in both the classroom and hands-on internships. They have then passed an exam to become board certified. With this degree, they are able to perform a higher level of care including the administration of anesthetic drugs, assist with dental cleanings and perform other duties under the supervision of a veterinarian. They can work in private practice, specialty facilities, teaching hospitals, research facilities, military sites, rescue organizations and zoos. Continued education is required to maintain this certification.
Veterinary assistants are much more limited in the tasks they can perform, and most of time they are assisting the registered veterinary technicians. Often they have moved up from other positions in a veterinary hospital such as kennel assistant or front office staff, and they have not typically received training in the classroom. Generally these positions are not advertised because these staff members are promoted from within. There are some schools that offer formal training for this position.
Carrington College has an excellent veterinary technician training program in Stockton. It is a part-time accelerated program. The school cost is about $30,000 and takes 22 months to complete. The salary for a veterinary technician will depend on length of employment, level of responsibility and location of employment. The average pay is $30,000 annually. For more information, visit carrington.edu/degrees/veterinary-technician.

A new and deadly dog virus is showing up in Michigan.
The virus has already killed six dogs in the Ann Arbor area, and veterinarians say that it may be spreading from owners to their pets.
Veterinarians don't have a name for the virus yet; it is the first time that the virus has been seen in Michigan. Vets say that dogs with the virus show flu-like symptoms within 12 to 24 hours of being infected. They typically have severe abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, and bloody diarrhea. Vets recommend that if a dog begins showing symptoms, that they be seen in a vet's office right away.
The virus shows similarity to the Circovirus that sickened dogs in parts of Ohio, and San Diego last year.
No one knows how the disease is transmitted, but dogs with the virus appear to have owners who are also sick. The owners of the affected dogs were also ill, with flu-like symptoms. Doctors recommend that people wash their hands and use hand sanitizer frequently to avoid spreading germs.
No humans have died from this virus, and doctors don't believe that humans will be seriously affected by it. Nobody knows if the virus can spread to other pets, so far it has only been seen in dogs.

The trick, however, is to choose treats that do not adversely affect your small animal pet's diet or overall health. In fact, similar to toys and exercise accessories, the treats you offer your pocket pet should be varied and multi-functional. The best treats are a tasty reward that either promotes pet health, aids in hygiene, or encourages activity during consumption.
Healthy Treats for Healthy Small Pets
Wholesome treats for your small animal pet can be hard to find. Many treats are packed with extra fat and sugars for taste appeal. These types of treats are usually high in calories. If your small pet is allowed to overindulge, he could quickly gain unnecessary weight and be subjected to a wide range of health problems including arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease. Therefore, you need to carefully choose which treats you offer your pocket pet and monitor how often they are given.
Healthy treats that boost both your pet's overall and dental health are available. Many treats are made from natural food sources and enriched with both vitamins and minerals. When used as recommended and offered in moderation, these treats aid your pet's dietary needs. In addition, natural treats, such as Crispy Chews, actually help to wear down and clean your pet's teeth. Appropriate vegetables can also make excellent treats, since the coarse vegetable matter or tough fibrous roughage needs to be repeatedly chewed to be broken down. This repetitive chewing action helps wear down continually growing incisors and cheek teeth of many small pets, including rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rats, and mice.
Some treats contain essential fatty acids to help keep your small pet's coat healthy and shiny. As well as keeping your pet looking his best, healthy skin also helps limit aggravating skin conditions, such as itching. If your pet has skin problems, he should be examined by a veterinarian.
Small Pet Treats Can Encourage Instinctive Activity
Certain treats can encourage your small pet to be active and help to satisfy his instinctive needs. Treats that require your pet to forage or gnaw, for example, are better for your pet's overall health than treats that are simply dropped into a dish in the corner of the cage. An ideal wood for chewing, Willow Gardens Pretzel Sticks help prevent overgrown teeth.
By carefully choosing the treats you offer your small pet and by limiting how often treats are offered, you can confidently reward him for the pleasure and joy he brings to your life. Furthermore, by choosing treats that are both tasty and beneficial to your pet's health, hygiene, and activity levels, you can keep him on the road to good health. Whether used to boost nutrition, aid in dental health, or help him chew away boredom, multifunctional treats are a tasty reward that benefit more than your pet's taste buds.

The Historical Association of Lewiston officially unveiled a new Lewiston sign on Thursday.
"All of the volunteers of the Historical Association of Lewiston appreciate the support that our Town of Lewiston supervisor, Steve Reiter, and the town and village boards provide," said H.A.L. President Bruce Sutherland. "Their support enables us to bring the rich history of Lewiston alive, through the Freedom Crossing Monument, Black Pearl sailing ship, 'Flames through Lewiston' and the future Tuscarora Heroes Monument, to name a few. The H.A.L. recognized a need for a new sign welcoming all to Lewiston and, with the help of a healthy donation from the Lewiston Garden Club, we were able to provide a first-class welcome to our town."

Salvete omnes. Qvaestionem habeo: What criteria does a Latin word need to meet in order to be considered "literary/poetical" instead of "common" or "colloquial"? For example: "acersecomes" and "adolescens". Both words can be translated as "young man" but according to my research writers such as Cicero would use "acersecomes" (Graece: ἀκερσεκόμης).Does a word need to be of Greek origin in order to be considered literary or are there other criteria which it needs to meet? Thanks to anyone and everyone who can enlighten me on this.

Project Description
The scope of this University of Michigan computational effort addresses the development of a fully validated large-eddy simulation (LES)-modeling capability to predict unstable combustion of high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. To incorporate effects of preferential diffusion, pressure variations, and variations in mixture composition, an unsteady flamelet-based LES combustion model will be extended. The integrated LES-validation effort includes (1) an a priori analysis of critical modeling assumptions using a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database of jet-in-cross-flow configurations, and (2) a posteriori model validation in LES application of a swirl-stabilized gas turbine combustor. The LES-combustion model will be used to develop detailed simulations to characterize facility-induced nonidealities in flow-reactor experiments. Effects arising from high-Reynolds number turbulence transition, mixture stratification, and other mechanisms associated with turbulence/ chemistry interaction on the autoignition behavior will be quantified through parametric calculations. The information gained from these efforts will be used to develop a low-order model that can be utilized for chemical-kinetics investigations and for guiding and improving future flow reactor designs in order to reduce facility effects.
The experimental effort includes high-pressure measurements of HHC fuel combustion in a dual-swirl gas turbine combustor, development of a comprehensive experimental database for LES model validation by considering stable and unstable gas turbine operating conditions, and obtaining improved understanding about fundamental combustion-physical mechanisms that control flame-holding, liftoff, and flashback for HHC fuels. A range of pressures, HHC fuel compositions, and equivalence ratios will be investigated experimentally.
Project Benefits
This project will focus on the development of a computer model that can predict unstable combustion of high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. Improving large-eddy simulation (LES) models for HHC fuels will lead to hydrogen combustor designs that produce fewer emissions at higher temperatures. Specifically, this project will develop an improved LES model by analyzing critical modeling assumption and validate the model by conducting high pressure measurements of HHC fuel combustion in a dual-swirl gas turbine combustor.

A former Chatham County deputy sheriff was indicted Wednesday on charges that include sexually assaulting a person in custody.
Shelton Crowder, 55, assaulted a man between Aug. 20-21 while he was acting in a supervisory capacity while the victim, an inmate, was in the sheriff's custody, the Chatham County grand jury determined in returning a five-count indictment.
The indictment also charged Crowder with public indecency by exposing himself, making false statements to sheriff's investigators in the case by falsely claiming to have no contact with the inmate or exposing himself and obstructing and officer by giving false information.
Crowder, a corporal assigned to the Corrections Bureau of the sheriff's department, was hired March 3, 1996, and terminated on Sept. 19, said Cpl. Rhonda Bryant-Elleby, sheriff's spokeswoman.
Also late Wednesday, former jail correctional officer Lewis Lane, 34, surrendered to the sheriff's department on a warrant charging him with sexual assault on a person in custody.
The warrant was issued in Chatham County Recorder's Court on April 4, officials said.
The two incidents were unrelated, Bryant-Elleby said.
Lane started with the sheriff's department July 19, 2010, and was terminated Feb. 27, Bryant-Elleby said.
He remained in protected custody at the jail on Thursday.
The jail has a zero tolerance policy concerning sexual misconduct with inmates and follows the Federal Prison Rape Elimination guidelines, Bryant-Elleby said.

After a season of laying a foundation in 2008, head coach Brian Patton and the Greenville College men's cross country program are committed to reestablishing their place as the top squad in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference this season.
The Panther team, featuring 10 returners is dependent on the efforts of four members of the 2008 SLIAC all-conference team, six other letterwinners, and a solid group of newcomers in regaining its position as SLIAC champion. Prior to the 2008 championships, Greenville had won the previous 11 SLIAC championship meets before Fontbonne narrowly took the title by one point last season. Greenville holds the record with 11 SLIAC men's cross country championships.
"We will be relying heavily on a young class of runners and particularly the development of a freshman class of newcomers that numbers eight," said Patton. "I am anxious to see how last year's newcomers have matured over the summer to add with this talented freshman class."
Patton, now in his 16th season as head men's cross country coach, led the squad to championships in the conference meet in all but four of his previous seasons. Along the way, he or members of his coaching staff received conference coach of the year honors a record-breaking 10 times.
The leader of the Panthers this season will be 2008 most valuable runner Rodney Oyler, a senior of Macon, Ill. Oyler was the 2008 SLIAC champion and a member of the SLIAC all-conference first team in 2007 and 2008. In the 2006 championships, Oyler was a SLIAC all-conference second team recipient.
Junior Cole Prins, of Erie, Ill., also returns in 2009. Prins was a SLIAC all-conference first team member in 2008 after earning a position on the SLIAC second team in 2007.
Sophomores Leo Pathy, of Palos Heights, Ill., and Coree Woltering, of Ottawa, Ill., round out the group of returning all-conference runners. Both men raced to spots on the SLIAC all-conference second team last season.
An appearance at Millikin University on Tuesday, Sept. 1, begins the Greenville cross country season. The Panthers will also participate in the Illinois Intercollegiate Championships at Illinois State University, the Greater Louisville Classic at the University of Louisville, and the Illinois College Invitational. The 2009 SLIAC championships are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, in Hillsboro, Ill.
"It is going to take a total team effort for us to become SLIAC champions again," said Patton.
The men compete at the NCAA Division III midwest regional at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh on Saturday, Nov. 14, as they attempt to qualify for the NCAA Division III national championships at Baldwin-Wallace College in Ohio on Saturday, Nov. 21.

Ghats are its Ganga Arti, where has been practiced
for last many years.
Besides watching these places one can also come to
India plan for an adventurous trip to see the wild
life beauty of most renowned National Parks and Sanctities
like Bandhavgarh, Khana, Ranthambore, Jim Corbett where
they can view the wild life animals that are surrounded
by natural beauty.
Seeing Ranthambore
National Park is really awesome experience, where
one can see large amount of Royal Bengal Tigers in
their natural habits. Here pone can view other variety
of wild animals which is perfectly dwelling in this
Bandhavgarh National Park contains a wide variety of
habitats and high density of large number of Tigers
which is spread in an area of 168sq miles (437sq kms.
The place is also known as white tiger country, which
is set among the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh.
The Kanha
National Park in Madhya Pradesh is well
maintained National Parks in Asia, which is famous
for its wide preservation of the rare Swamp Deer (Barasingha.
The park is rich in its Fauna and flora; where one
can see wide variety of green species. The park forms
the core of the Kanha Tiger Reserve in 1974 under Project
Tiger and was incorporated in the year 1955.
Jim Corbett is an ideal National; park which is highly
popular for its elephant Safari. The park is one of
the dense forests where the animals' can see
in its any location in natural beauty.
So, if one wants to see the places and is diverse
natural exotic beauty, they can come to India in a

Get That Tone: Live at Leeds Era Pete Townshend
From early British-beat classics, to rock-opera grandiosity, to "loudest band in the world" status (as listed officially in the Guinness Book of World Records for more than a decade), the Who have made an off-the-charts contribution to rock music.
[originally by Dave Hunter | 03.05.2008, Gibson.com] - Alongside a larger-than-life drummer and bombastic bassist—the late Keith Moon and John Entwistle respectively—guitarist and chief songwriter Pete Townshend made an enormous sonic impact with simple tools and a very basic—if undeniably inspired and energetic—technique.
Townshend has used a variety of guitar and amp combinations throughout his career, and has embodied rock drive and power with each of them, but when I think "classic Who," I go back time and again to the band's late-'60s sound, and the guitarist's set-up during the Live at Leeds era. Townshend plus Gibson SG Special plus Hiwatt amp stack equals colossal tone.
The evolution of the legendary Gibson Les Paul Standard of the 1958-'60 into the SG/Les Paul of 1961 (soon just "SG" due to a temporary hiatus in Les Paul's endorsement) has been well documented. Originally intended to revive the flagship solidbody model, the SG became a classic in its own right, particularly with rock players. Early models carried the same PAF pickups that were found on the Les Paul, which had evolved into "patent number" humbuckers by 1963, but their different body composition and style, and the altered neck joint, made them very different sounding guitars. Put briefly, you could say that, compared to a Les Paul Standard, the SG has a slightly lighter, yet furrier core tonality but with good range and plenty of body. Beyond that, Townshend's breed of SG, the guitars he played between 1968-'71, was the SG Special, and he usually played 1966-'70 models (although occasionally pre-1965 models, too).
Instead of humbuckers, these guitars carried two P-90 pickups, the standard two-each plus toggle-switch wiring, and a wraparound bridge/tailpiece. Some of Townshend's instruments originally carried Vibrola tailpieces, but he removed these and anchored the strings at the wraparound bar unit alone. This style of bridge might appear somewhat "down-market" compared to the refined Tune-o-matic (ABR-1) bridge, but including it on the SG Special gave players the option of discarding the Vibrola if desired. Effective in their limited way, a Vibrola tailpiece inevitably contributes to a little tuning instability—as any vibrato unit does—and Townshend was whacking these instruments pretty hard, so the firmest possible string anchor was clearly necessary. Besides, given the SG's 22nd fret neck joint, a rhythmic jerk with the left hand provided about as much vibrato as the Who guitarist ever needed. In fact, Townshend used the technique to great effect, giving added movement and depth to his playing, or the occasional sustain-boosting jiggle that offered a subtler trigger into feedback than walloping the strings again.
Gibson's P-90 pickups were always pretty hot for single-coils, and could drive a tube amp about as hard in terms of gain as the humbuckers of the same era. Their sonic signature is a little leaner and brighter, however, so a Special can occasionally provide a slightly brighter bite than a humbucker-laden SG Standard. P-90s are also a little less refined tonally than humbuckers, but many players love that about them. Good examples are raw and just a little gritty sounding, with a midrange emphasis that really suits rock and roll, but plenty of sweetness, too. They have a silvery high end that is bright enough to cut through, but is less harsh than that of many other single-coils.
Floor all that SG Special's sizzle and bark through a Hiwatt Custom 100 DR 103 and you've got some serious wrecking-ball-sized rhythm tones to slam around. These amps were made to be driven hard, and can sound more girthsome and ominous pounding out the power chords than any over-saturated, cascading gain overdrive monster is ever going to manage.
Hiwatt amps were never intended as a Mashall copy, despite their generally similar looks, but were a design unto themselves from the start. Although many players have mistaken the amps for approximate copies of Jim Marshall's stacks, anyone who has played a good Hiwatt for any length of time knows better, as does any tech who has had the pleasure of opening one up.
Hiwatt was founded in the U.K. in the mid 1960s by Dave Reeves, who had the intention of building the best guitar amplifiers he could build, and he did so with close consideration to everything from transformers and internal components right through to wiring and cabinetry. Hiwatt used Partridge transformers, which were bigger and better than most anything being used for guitar amps at the time, and Reeves even commissioned military-specification chassis wiring from Harry Joyce, who did other high-end contract electronics work, including wiring jobs for the Royal Navy.
Look beyond the impressive components and workmanship, and vintage Hiwatt amps further reveal very original circuit topologies that are quite different from the Fender and Marshall circuits that are generally considered to have given birth to rock tone. Throughout the signal chain, Reeve's design goal was to pass a bold, high-fidelity signal along to the output stage, but one that is nevertheless fattened up in a major way by no fewer than four gain stages in the preamp and tone sections of the standard DR103.
Pump this fat signal via four EL34 output tubes running at high voltage, through an enormous Partridge output transformer, and into four or eight sturdy British-made Fane speakers, and you have got large sound on your hands, to say the very least. In fact, despite their nominal 100-watt rating, when cranked up these Hiwatts could often push something in the region of 120 watts RMS. Naturally, Townshend usually played through two of them at a time.
Being Pete Townshend, however, he didn't stop there. He had his Hiwatt DR 103 amps modified by Reeves right at the factory, hence their "Custom" logos. Changes from stock included linking all four inputs, with a Volume control for each to make it easy to blend voices, and a 10dB gain boost at the first stage; disconnecting the Middle and Presence controls, so that only the Bass and Treble remained; adding a Master Volume; and using a 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes in the phase inverter rather than the lower-gain 12AT7/ECC81. After these changes, his Hiwatts pushed the front end a little harder for a crunchier sound, which in turn drove the output section a little harder too. Make these changes to some other tube amps, and you get the high-gain sizzle of a Mesa/Boogie style amplifier; done to a Hiwatt, these modifications contribute to the monstrous punch, crunch, and slam power that fueled Townshend's thwacking rhythm assault.
So strap on that SG Special, plug into some 240 watts of Hiwatt mayhem, get your windmill spinning, and see what comes out. At the very least, you're likely to be the loudest guitarist on your block.

Pete Townshend's Gear Timeline
Getting the "basic" kit:
1) Obviously, go for a SG guitar.
2)Then, you must have Hiwatt amps. Hiwatt actually makes two Pete Townshend signature models (view). Though you might want to look at a Hiwatt combo, instead.
3) Pete also was a keen user of fuzz pedals. We'd recommend the Big Muff, Double Muff or Fuzz Face, to get some cool lo-fi, gritty fuzz tones.

The Day The Music Died: 50 Years Without Buddly Holly
Buddy Holly is one of the most influential pioneers of rock and roll. From The Beatles to Weezer, many have been inspired by his work. 50 years from his tragic death in a plane crash, we remember his work.
Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash, Holly is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll." His works and innovations were copied by his contemporaries and later musicians, notably The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and exerted a profound influence on popular music. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Holly #13 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Charles Hardin Holley was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1936. The Holleys were a musical family and as a young boy Holley learned to play piano, guitar and violin (his brothers oiled the strings so much that no one could hear him play.) He was always known as Buddy to his family. In 1949 Buddy made a recording of Hank Snow's 'My Two-Timin' Woman' on a wire recorder "borrowed" by a friend who worked in a music shop (not, as is often reported, a home tape recorder) his first known recording. During the fall of that year he met Bob Montgomery in Hutchinson Junior High School.
They shared a common interest in music and soon teamed up as the duo "Buddy and Bob." Initially influenced by bluegrass music, they sang harmony duets at local clubs and high school talent shows. In Lubbock, Holly attended Hutchinson Junior High School, which has a mural honoring him, and Lubbock High School, which has numerous features to honor the late musician. His musical interests grew throughout high school while singing in the Lubbock High School Choir.
Holly turned to rock music after seeing Elvis Presley sing live in Lubbock in early 1955. A few months later, he appeared on the same bill with Presley, also in Lubbock. Holly's transition to rock continued when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets at a local rock show organized by Eddie Crandall, who was also the manager for Marty Robbins. As a result of this performance, Holly was offered a contract with Decca Records to work alone, which he accepted. According to the Amburn book (p. 45), his public name changed from "Holley" to "Holly" on 8 February 1956, when he signed the Decca contract.
On 17 June 1956, Lubbock's newspaper, the Avalanche-Journal, started a series on the evils of rock'n'roll. They showed the dancers at the Bamboo Club when Holly was performing, and blacked out their eyes. The youngsters were dancing the "dirty bop". The newspaper said: "The guitarist hoarsely shouted the unintelligible words 'Hound Dog'." It said of the audience: "They are white teenagers from throughout the city, rich and poor, from good homes and bad." Mrs Holley wrote to the newspaper defend the teenagers, but her letter was not printed.
Buddy Holly, one of the pioneers of rock'n'roll
Among the tracks recorded for Decca was an early version of "That'll Be The Day", which took its title from a phrase that John Wayne's character said repeatedly in the 1956 film, The Searchers.
Holly formed his own band and called them The Crickets, and they began recording at Norman Petty's studios in Clovis, New Mexico. Norman had music industry contacts and believing that "That'll Be the Day" would be a hit single, he contacted publishers and labels. Coral Records, a subsidiary of Decca, signed The Crickets. Soon after, they signed Holly as a solo artist. This put Holly in the unusual position of having two record contracts at the same time. Before "That'll Be The Day" had its nationwide release, Holly played lead guitar on the single "Starlight", recorded in April 1957, featuring Jack Huddle. The initial, unsuccessful version of "That'll Be The Day" played more slowly and about half an octave higher than the hit version.
Holly managed to bridge some of the racial divide that marked rock n' roll music. While Elvis made black music more acceptable to whites, Holly won over an all-black audience when the Crickets were booked at New York's Apollo Theater (though, unlike the immediate response depicted in the 1978 movie The Buddy Holly Story, it actually took several performances for his talents to be appreciated).
After the release of several highly successful songs in 1958, Holly and the Crickets toured Australia in January and later the United Kingdom.
The ambitious Holly became increasingly interested in the New York music/recording/publishing scene, while his younger and more easygoing bandmates wanted to go back home to Lubbock. As a result, in 1959 the group split.
Buddy Holly Dies - 3rd February 1959
Holly began a solo tour with other notable performers, including Dion and the Belmonts, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. After a performance in Green Bay, Wisconsin at the Riverside Ballroom, on 1 February the tour moved on to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa on 2 February 1959. Afterwards, Buddy Holly chartered a Beechcraft Bonanza to take him and his new back-up band (Tommy Allsup and Waylon Jennings) to Fargo, North Dakota, enroute to play the next leg of the Winter Dance Party tour at the Armory in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Carl Bunch missed the flight as he had been hospitalized with frostbite three days earlier. The Big Bopper asked Jennings for his spot on the four-seat plane, as he was recovering from the flu. Ritchie Valens was still signing autographs at the concert site when Allsup walked in and told him it was time to go. Valens begged for a seat on the plane. Allsup pulled a 50 cent coin out of his pocket and the two men flipped for the seat. Allsup lost.
The plane took off in light snow and gusty winds at around 12:05 A.M., but crashed a few minutes later. The wreckage was discovered several hours later by the plane's owner, Jerry Dwyer, some 8 miles (13 km) from the airport on the property of Albert Juhl. The crash killed Holly, Valens, Richardson, and the 21-year-old pilot, Roger Peterson. Holly's body, along with those of Valens and Richardson, was thrown from the wreckage. Holly and Valens lay 17 feet (5.2 m) south of the wreckage and Richardson was thrown around 40 feet (12 m) to the north of the wreckage.
Don McLean referred to it as "The Day the Music Died", on his song "American Pie".
Holly's pregnant wife Maria became a widow after barely six months of marriage and miscarried soon after.
Holly's funeral was held on 7 February 1959 at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock under the direction of Sanders Funeral Home. His body was interred in the City of Lubbock Cemetery in the eastern part of the city. Holly's headstone carries the correct spelling of his surname (Holley) and a carving of his Fender Stratocaster guitar.
Maria Holly did not attend the funeral and has never visited the gravesite. She told the Avalanche-Journal: "In a way, I blame myself. I was not feeling well when he left. I was two weeks pregnant, and I wanted Buddy to stay with me, but he had scheduled that tour. It was the only time I wasn't with him. And I blame myself because I know that, if only I had gone along, Buddy never would have gotten into that airplane."
Early in 2008, Maria visited the apartment building where she and Holly lived. There, she observed musicians in nearby Washington Square Park, where Holly often played his guitar. "I gave one musician $9 because 9 was Buddy's favorite number," Maria told the Avalanche-Journal. She said that she had never come to grips with his premature death.
Holly's music was sophisticated for its day, including the use of instruments considered novel for rock and roll, such as the celesta (heard on "Everyday"). Holly was an influential lead and rhythm guitarist, notably on songs such as "Peggy Sue" and "Not Fade Away". While Holly could pump out boy-loves-girl songs with the best of his contemporaries, other songs featured more sophisticated lyrics and more complex harmonies and melodies than had previously appeared in the genre.
Many of his songs feature a unique vocal "hiccup" technique, a glottal stop, to emphasize certain words in any given song, especially the rockers. Other singers (such as Elvis) have used a similar technique, though less obviously and consistently. Examples of this can be found at the start of the raucous "Rave On": "Weh-eh-ell, the little things you say and do, make me want to be with you-ou..."; in "That'll Be the Day": "Well, you give me all your lovin' and your -turtle dovin'..."; and in "Peggy Sue": "I love you Peggy Sue - with a love so rare and tr-ue ..." Pete Doherty, for instance, is a modern musician who on some songs seems to be influenced by this vocal style.
Contrary to popular belief, teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney did not attend a Holly concert, although they watched his TV appearance on "Sunday Night at the London Palladium"; Tony Bramwell, a school friend of McCartney and George Harrison, did.
Keith Richards attended one of the gigs, where he heard "Not Fade Away" for the first time. The song was later covered by The Rolling Stones (becoming their first Top 10 single!)
Bramwell met Holly, and freely shared his records with all three Beatles-to-be. Lennon and McCartney later cited Holly as a primary influence. (Their band's name, The Beatles, was chosen partly in homage to Holly's Crickets.) The Beatles did a cover version of "Words of Love" that was a close reproduction of Holly's version. McCartney owns the publishing rights to Holly's song catalogue.
A young Bob Dylan attended the 31 January 1959 show, two nights before Holly's death. Dylan referred to this in his 1998 Grammy acceptance speech for his 1997 Time out of Mind winning Album of the Year:
"And I just want to say that when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, I went to see Buddy Holly play at Duluth National Guard Armory and I was three feet away from him...and he LOOKED at me. And I just have some sort of feeling that he was — I don't know how or why — but I know he was with us all the time we were making this record in some kind of way"
Various rock and roll histories have asserted that the singing group The Hollies were named in homage to Buddy Holly. According to the band's website, although the group admired Holly (and years later produced an album covering some of his songs), their name was inspired primarily by the sprigs of holly in evidence around Christmas of 1962.
Frank Allen of the 1960s band The Searchers said: "To be a star, you obviously need a desirable amount of talent, but the most important factor is individuality – and Buddy was distinctive and unmistakeable, both visually and aurally. While we were skiffling away, trying to find a fourth chord, Buddy was giving us the opening bars of 'That'll Be the Day' with unbelievable expertise and on an instrument that was the equivalent of a bullet-finned '59 Cadillac. He looked gangly and geekish with those glasses but that guitar made him unbelievably cool, and he knew how to play it. It was the revenge of the nerd. His records are almost without exception terrific. He got everything right."
U.S. Alt-Rock band Weezer had a successful single called "Buddy Holly", in the 90's.

Buddy Holly, The Musical Pioneer
It's impossible to imagine how far he could've gone, had he lived longer. Buddy Holly died aged only 22. But in his few short years, he did a lot...
- Buddy Holly was a pioneer, not just a rock'n'roll star. By concentrating on writing his own songs, when most artists just played covers, he paved the way for a new generation of songwriters in the 60's, such as The Beatles. As a brilliant songwriter of really simple, to the point, beautifully constructed two- or three-minute pop songs he set a benchmark for songwriters such as Lennon & McCartney
- He was also very concerned with publishing/ copyright issues, besides being the producer of his own songs, something unheard of until then, and wich even today is by no means the usual.
- His band was the first to have the two guitars (lead/rhythm), bass and drums line-up, so common now.
- He was the first artist to use studio trickery such as double-tracking and his songs feature a creative use of the studio's echo chamber, besides being the first to have strings on a rock'n'roll record;
- Famously, Buddy Holly was the first rock star to use the Fender Stratocaster...and the first rock'n'roll star to wear glasses!
Buddy Holly Gear
In the studio
His first guitar is reported to have been a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. But the guitar we'll always associate him with is the Fender Stratocaster. When Buddy signed to Decca, he asked his brother Larry for $1,000 in order to step up his stage attire, and his musical equipment. Larry recalls in John Goldrosen's biography "$600 went for the guitar alone." It was an expensive guitar in those days, and very futuristic-looking. As to why Buddy chose this over the equally-popular Fender Telecaster is anyone's guess. It could have had to do with its additional pickup or simply that in 1955, the Stratocaster was about the newest thing in popular guitar design. Either way, something about the guitar turned Buddy on to it, as this was model electric guitar Buddy used exclusively for his records and live dates.
The first documented guitar amplifier that Buddy owned, though he had to have others before, was a Fender Pro Amp. It had a 15" speaker in it, and is probably the amplifier Larry Holley mentions that Buddy bought at the same time as his first Fender Stratocaster in 1955. This amp is seen in quite a few early performance photos from around Lubbock and is probably seen best in the early Crickets pictures taken at June Clark's house. It was used in Clovis on most all of the recording sessions, and was still in Clovis at the time of Norman Petty's death.
Once Buddy started the larger package shows, he bought a Fender Bassman. 4 10" [4-10 inch speakers]. At 50 watts, it was a powerful amp for that time. It was designed initially for electric bass, but it didn't take long for guitarists to fancy it. This amp could handle the size of the venues the Crickets were playing by this time, not to mention being capable of overpowering the enthusiastic crowds that greeted them at their live performances.
In the studio, he used a Shure 55 (nowadays, Shure makes the 55SH Series 2) and some sort of early tape-echo effect (such as the Echoplex or Binson) for echo-y vocals. Modern tape-echo simulators include the Akai Headrush 2 and Danelectro Reel Echo.
Watch Buddy Holly!

rhomber needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 258 designs submitted by 78 freelance designers.
I need a logo that stands out, something that is clear and crisp. I want it to be centric around the colors blue and green, with various tones of each. Eye catching, sexy - I want people to want to see it. Can use nature elements, plants, photo elements. I would also like separate media and print versions, for the website masthead, invoices and so on (so white background, black background and greyscale would be appreciated).
Hippy Health
New online natural health retailer needs a logo. I want a versatile and attractive logo that can be used in a variety of ways: website masthead, brochure, merchandise, business cards, invoices and so on. It is a requirement that the design use blue and green as it's dominant colors. Green (Hippy) represents nature, so can be connected with nature iconography. Blue (Health) represents water (as in the ancient summarians had two schools of medicine, water and oil - also without water there is no life). So, naturally the globe is a possible symbol to use, water, animal and plant life. I don't want the design too cluttered either. As a personal preference generally I wouldn't consider any designs using well known symbols (like peace sign in any form) and also not a huge fan of swirls that look like 6's. Basically I want it to fit in with a really sexy looking web 2.0 website. So it needs to have the kind of appeal that can draw world wide appeal. The website will specialise in products that are natural and organic where possible. One of the first products will be Australian Grown Spirulina, if that gives you an idea of the kind of products we will sell.
- Sexy, stylish, attractive to the eye.
- Use of various shades of blue and green to create eye catching connection with nature.
- Crisp and clear design with high resolution images
- Use of the word "Hippy Health" in the logo as the primary element.
- Optional: Add optional nature/plant/hippy/health (healing, wellbeing, eco friendly, animal wellbeing) elements as you see fit. (see description of how to incorporate colors).
- Boring and unappealing.
- Something that can't be easily integrated into a website or t-shirt, coffee mug.
