(CNSNews.com) - Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney -- pleased with his big victory in the New Hampshire primary following his 'slim victory' in Iowa -- said on Wednesday, "I've got an uphill climb in South Carolina ahead of me."
However, according to the latest polling, Romney is well ahead of his competitors. The Real Clear Politics average shows Romney with a 10-point lead over Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, his nearest competitors in S.C.
And in another boost for Romney, he's been endorsed by S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, a tea party conservative, who praised Romney for his electability and for his experience in turning broken companies around.
In a Wednesday morning interview with NBC's "Today Show," Romney pointed out that in New Hampshire, "the people who call themselves conservative or very conservative supported me by a pretty solid majority."
Asked about attacks on his business experience by his Republican rivals, Romney said he expected such attacks from President Obama. "But we didn't expect that Newt Gintrich and Rick Perry would become the witnesses for his prosecution, if you will. And I don't think it's helped them. And for them to attacking free enterprise and to suggest that people should have a limit to how much they can make and in their success, is something which the Democrats have talked about for years."
Romney said the numbers prove the tactic is not helping his Republican rivals gain support. "I think the evidence from N.H. last night, where the speaker and Rick Perry were both in single digits, suggests this kind of attack on free enterprise is simply not gaining traction for them," Romney told Fox & Friends Wednesday morning.
Romney won the New Hampshire primary with 39 percent of the Republican vote, followed by Ron Paul (22%), and Jon Huntsman (16.8%). Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were neck-and-neck with around 9% of the vote, and Rick Perry received a negligible 1%.
Romney says the Republican attacks a good warm-up for what he's sure to face when he goes head-to-head with President Obama in the general election, as he fully expects to do.
Romney also criticized President Obama for trying to divide America by pitting the 99 percent against the one percent. "You've opened up a whole new wave of approach to this country that is entirely inconsistent witih the concept of 'One Nation, Under God,' and the American people, I believe, in the final analysis, will reject it" he told NBC.
Romney added that Obama's "envy-oriented, attack oriented" approach will fail.

I was hopeful you would have gotten some replies to this question. I was interested myself. I don't think W10 comes with much of anything decent preinstalled. Sometimes if you have a separate GPU disc (especially higher end ones), it will sometimes have editing software included. But I'm sure there are some decent freeware applications which would do the job. Hoping you get some responses.00|00|0
Yeah. Informative questions don't really get responses on here :(. More questions like "who likes my pussy" filed with cat pictures or "cheese is delicious isn't it" etc.

sonar is a network reconnaissance utility. It runs all its scans from plugins. The currently supported plugins are an ICMP scan (a la the original sonar) and an ACK scan which can see if hosts that don't respond to ICMP are online. With the ability to create your own plugins, sonar is becoming the most extensible security scanner available.
songanizer is a script to organize a directory containing Ogg and MP3 files. The script accepts a list of directories in which the real Ogg and MP3 files reside. It then reads information like author, album, and genre from the files' ID3 tags and creates parallel directory structures which just contain symbolic links to the directories in which the real files live. The goal is to create virtual directory structures which give different views of the data without having redundant copies of the files themselves.
soniK is a digital audio editor for the KDE platform. It allows you to record, edit, and process sounds on your computer. Its main features include recording and playback using your computer's sound card, visualization of the audio as a waveform or a spectrogram, the ability to edit audio and transform it with a wide variety of plugins, and the generation of new sounds.
Sortdir is an LD_PRELOAD library which sorts directory entries before supplying them to your applications. Sorting order is controlled by the current locale settings, however, other directory sorting locales can also be specified. (glibc >= 2.3 is required.) Sortdir can be especially useful as a wrapper for "tar" or "find". It's been used for creating packages for the UHU-Linux distribution; all of its deb packages contain their entries in alphabetical order so that better user feedback is provided when hitting F3 in mc on a package or querying its contents with "dpkg -L".
sortsamples is a utility that solves the problem of having many sample CD/sample library directories with each having kick, hi-hat, snare, etc. folders (leading to sampledirectorychaosmadness). With many sample directories, you ll be slapped around many directories hunting for kicks/hi-hats etc. This utility creates symbolic links to directories which are similar. This way, you can have all your kick. It was made because external Sample organizing utilities can also become a pain, because usually your DAW also has a sample browser in it. It would be nice to have structure at the source: the filesystem. This is a crazy effort to combine similar folders and categorize automatically.
soundgrab provides a cassette deck-like command line interface (ff, rw, jump to position) plus some other commands that let you easily select and save your favorite parts of a big volume of Ogg or raw audio in Ogg, FLAC, raw, cdr, or wav format. If you have a favorite radio show that plays hard-to-find things at a time when your boss insists you should be at work, you can record it, then come home later and save your favorite parts.
The sourcecode XML metadata extraction tools are intended to be used for extracting and transforming XML-like markup embedded in source code comments into syntactically correct external entities or well-formed XML files. This can be used for JavaDoc-like code annotation, providing structured comments, or even embedding metadata used by the build process or configuration management tools.
Spamresponder is a very simple and radical spam filter, combining DNS validation with the challenge/response approach. It will go through all mail messages in /var/mail/$USER, looking for specific "trusted" strings in the header and body parts of the mail. It will delete and send an automatic reply to messages which have no "trusted" strings inside them. Those replies will include one of the "trusted" strings, so the recipient just needs to reply to this confirmation message. The MailFrom-address of an email containing a trusted string becomes a trusted string itself.
A tool to split and merge PDF files.
A 3D virtual environment server platform.

Join Nigel French for an in-depth discussion in this video Gathering assets, part of Designing a Brochure (2009).
Beginning at the ending. Here we are with the finished version of the tri-fold brochure. It's two letter-sized pages, landscape orientation, two folds to make three panels on both sides. This is the outside and there is the interior. Now, before we start putting this together, we need to evaluate the assets that we have. This brochure is made up of a text file that has been created in Word, numerous images that have been developed in Photoshop, and new versions of the logo or the same version used twice created in Illustrator, and these ornamental swirls which are part of an Illustrator symbol set that you can download from the Adobe Exchange website.
So let's take a look in more detail at these different assets. I'm going to switch to the Finder, to my Desktop and let's take a look in the exercise_files folder. We are in the exercise_files folder. We have a folder called assets and in that folder we have got a text file. We have got the Illustrator symbol set from jlwDesign. We have got various versions of the deep green design logo and then we have lots of photos. Let's first begin by looking at the photos. I'm going to drag the photos folder on to Bridge and we see that we have 35 items to choose from. Now Bridge if you are not familiar with it is a fantastic file management program and we can work with our images far more efficiently using Bridge because we can rank our images and we can evaluate our images and we can find out all sorts of useful information about our images.
If I click on any of these, I see a thumbnail in the Preview window and I have useful metadata over here, I'm just going to expand that panel a little bit, which will tell me the file size in megabytes and its dimensions. The f-stop, that it was captured with, the ISO rating, etcetera. Over here in the Filter pane it tells me how many files of certain types I have. I have got 34 Camera Raw and 1 JPEG. Where is the JPEG? Well, I could just put a check mark next to that and I see that's the one JPEG. If I put a check mark next to them both, I see them both or I can uncheck them both and I now see all of those images.
There are different ways of viewing your assets in Bridge and if I come up here and click on Filmstrip then I have a much larger Preview window which is useful because I can then click on the image and move my cursor over the image. My cursor now becomes a magnifying glass. Now when I click on it, I see that portion of the image, the portion that the loop is pointing to at 100% view size. So I could use this to evaluate the quality of the image. This saves an enormous amount of time, meaning that I don't have to actually open the image in Photoshop only to find out that it wasn't the image that I wanted after all.
You will see on these images, these Camera Raw images, most of them have badges. And this badge here indicates that adjustments have taken place and this one indicates that cropping has taken place. If you wish to dismiss this loop, you just come and click inside and it goes away. You will see that they have been rated. Some of them have four stars, some of them have three, some of them have one, some have none. This rating system is one used by me fairly arbitrarily in this case just to differentiate one type of image from another and let's now switch back to the Essentials view and if I wanted to change the rating, I could click on the image and then go to the Label menu where I can apply the rating in this way or I could just use the keyboard shortcut. Apple+1 or Ctrl+1 for a one star rating, Apple+2, Ctrl+2, etcetera for a two star rating.
We are going to need to come up with a short list from these images. We are not going to use all of them by any means. We are only going to use the handful of them and in the different variants of the brochures that we'll be producing we are going to use a slightly different set of images. Bridge is going to make it easy for us or easier at any rate to determine which images we want to use and which ones we are not going to end up using. I'm now going to switch back to the Desktop and I'm going to use Bridge now to navigate through the folder structure and if we come to the assets folder and then we are look in the logos folder, there we have various different versions and variants of the deepgreendesigns logo. Now I also mentioned the Illustrator symbol set. Let me show you how we get to this. I'm going to switch to InDesign and from InDesign I'll go to the Help menu and to the Welcome Screen.
On the Welcome Screen, under the Community list we have a link to InDesign Exchange. You can also just type in InDesign Exchange or Adobe Exchange into a search engine but since we have this link here, I'm going to click on that to go to it. And at Adobe Exchange we see the Exchanges By Product. I'm now going to click on Illustrator. And then in the Search field if I type in swirly, that will take me to the swirly curls Vector Garden Symbol Set and I can download that and that is how I came by that.
And then one other asset that we need to look at and that is the text file. This is the Word Document. There it is. We can see in Word that we have 323 words, which given the amount of space that we have means that we have got plenty of room to fit this text in a quite luxurious way really. We don't have to cram in by any means and at my request the client has provided the Word document without any formatting, all of the text in one single file rather than lots of itty bitty pieces. Although we are going to end up chopping it up into individual sections.

MoMo is a girl with some serious attitude in camera but, in real life, she was fantastic fun. Both girls are a credit to their generation - something for other girls to aspire to.
Here she is, in all her petite-ville:
I am in LOVE with those hair ties. Of course, Id look RIDICULOUS in them but Mo rocks the look.
I love her get-up in this picture
And the two girls together - they really did not need much direction. Their natural ability to do "their thing" made the shoot a breeze.
I call this their "salt and pepper" look. I mean, if these girls did something together for a career, this would epitomise their portfolio look.
I seriously could spend all my life taking pictures like this with girls as focused as these two.
And now, its beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. I cried a river during Downton tonight.....sniff sniff.

Recycled Bicycle Tire Stamps DIY with Indigo26
Today's post is brought to you by Abby from Indigo 26. As you may know, I ride my bike a lot, So I l-o-v-e this tutorial that Abby made! Be sure to stop by Abby's blog and be inspired.
Upcycled Bike Tire Stamps
Hi Punk Project fans. I'm excited to be sharing a DIY upcycled project with you to celebrate Earth Day. Just like Katie, I like to celebrate more than one day a year. I'm always on the lookout for a new upcycle project, and today I'm sharing with you one of my favorites; bike tire stamps.
A few years ago I had to change out the tube on my bike tire after I had punctured it. Other than the unfixable hole in the tube, there was nothing wrong with it. I decided to turn the tube into rubber stamps.
· used rubber inner tube from a bike tire
· scraps of wood (I used wood shims I had left over from a garden project)
· strong glue
· scissors
· exacto knife
· stencils
· sharpie or other marker
1. First, cut out the valve stem. You won't need this part of the tube. Using your scissors, cut the tube open so you can lay it out flat.
2. Next, take your sharpie marker and stencil an object or letters onto the rubber tube. You can also free hand draw. Cut out the shapes and letters with scissors or an exacto knife.
3. Glue the cut pieces of rubber tube to your wood scrap. To prevent splinters, I used a piece of sandpaper to smooth the edges of my wood scrap before I glued down my pieces.
Either side of the tube will work for a stamp. Keep in mind that when you're cutting out letters you may have to glue them upside down or backwards in order for the word to print correctly. For example, as is, my indigo stamp above is wrong. My G prints upside down. If you run into this mistake like I did, pull off the letter, pick off the glue, and reglue it correctly.
Making sure to wipe off excess glue, place the new stamp in a clamp or under a stack of books so the rubber adheres to the wood uniformly.
4. Once the glue is dry, grab your favorite inks and stamp away!
You can use your bike tire stamps for journaling, stationary, or use them to create your own gift wrap paper. I use my tree stamp in my signature.

When the Rogue Warrior travels to India to help supervise security arrangements for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, he and his team find themselves up to their skivvies in terrorists of all types - Pakistanis. But it's not just the Games that are being targeted for disruption: Demo Dick and his young bucks uncover a plot to steal all seventy nuclear warheads the Indians have amassed for war against the Pakistanis.
The Rogue Warrior must overcome various obstacles to prevent disaster: a high-tech remote-controlled attack helicopter that makes the Apache look like a child's toy, an ominous chemical factory about to go boom, and tea and crumpets with the Queen. (We're just kidding about the Queen.)
Marcinko and DeFelice sprinkle the action with trademark Rogue Warrior humor and non-PC asides in the latest installment of the best-selling series. As usual, the plot mixes fact with fiction, and incorporates some of the original SEAL Team 6 skipper's recent experiences in India.
"The most colorful, hell-raising, bomb-throwing ex-SEAL commander of them all." (Playboy)

text: Still, fantasy football remains an attractive business for the company. Entertainment subscriptions including fantasy sports may offer Yahoo! greater opportunities for growth than in other fee services where there is greater competition from rivals, Pyykkonen says. Yahoo!'s success at fantasy football is spurring increased competition from rivals. Both ESPN and Fox Sports began offering free fantasy games this year. So did the National Football League, which previously provided only a pay service. ESPN got twice as many people to sign up for fantasy football this year as it expected, said Paul Melvin, a spokesman for the network. He declined to disclose the figure. Signups at Fox Sports and the NFL's fantasy games also surpassed expectations, according to spokesmen for those organizations. "Others have not been forced to go free because of Yahoo!," says Greg Ambrosius, the head of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. "It's just that big sites like ESPN and Fox who have advertisers who want to reach larger audiences can supplement the free model financially, whereas smaller sites can't do that." Viacom's CBS SportsLine is bucking the trend. It has charged for fantasy football since 2002 to focus on attracting hardcore fans and advertisers interested in reaching them. The Viacom-owned Web site estimates that it has 3 million fantasy players, most of which play football. SportsLine says it has no interest in offering free games. For its part, Yahoo! still expects to continue to dominate fantasy sports. "We have been able to withstand the competitive threat," Katz said.

Cheap .22 rifles for training
I want to do some marksmanship training, maybe some field exercises.
I'm looking at the cheapest of the cheap here:
Marlin XT-22 (Improved 925)
Marlin 795
Marlin 60
Remington 597
Mossberg 702
Mossberg 802
Ruger 10/22
I've ordered these by how accurate I feel they are out of the box (based on what I've been able to fine online) with maybe the lower ones on the list being more or less equal. I hope to have one of these rifles by X-Mas and wanted to hear some opinions from some people who may have owned these rifle. My poking around indicates that all of these are pretty high value rifles, being accurate, reliable, and for the most part durable. But even so I've 3 months to kill, so lets hear them words! :p
Be as specific as you want. I'd really like to hear opinions on tubular vs mag design. Ease of maintenance is probably going to always fall secondary to functional superiority for me... but feel free to chime in! :)
My opinion out of the ones you have listed the ruger will be most accurate easiest to maintain and give the fewest issue for reliability. I find tube mags clumsy to load and very sensitive to grit jamming up the works. Unless your goal is to train for a lever gun of some sort the manual of arms is not that helpful.
Tube mags rarely get grit in them, unlike box-style mags that often get dropped in the dirt...
as long as you clean your tube mag when you clean your action, its not an issue.
There's a reason that Marlin sold 13 million model 60's since 1960...
Ruger's sold a little over 7 million 1022's since 1963.
Hrm...ya think Marlin might know what they're doing?
You've got them in the right order for precision. Ruger is the AK of the rimfire world, not real precise until you make a barrel change...
but its a good plinker. The Marlins would be your AR's...slightly fussy, but VERY precise.
Run away from Mossbergs...if you ever have a repair issue, it becomes an international incident, as they're made in Brazil.
Much like Taurus, it takes a lot of Time for repairs...
Just slap a Savage Mark II at the top of the list and call it done!!!!
For the price you can't beat the marlin 795. If you look around you can find them for less than $100. I am planing on picking up 2 on black friday sale.
I'm not a expert on the mossberg but I did look at them at the local shop. I was disappointed in the bolt action the bolt would come out with just a wiggle. The semi auto didn't have that issue but it felt kinda flimsy.
Who you calling cheap......
The model 60 is just under priced....As for accuracy out of the box they shoot straighter than you do.......:eek::D
I'll stay away from the Mossbergs then...
I know the Marlin 925 had it's issues (terrible trigger being the most concerning), but the XT-22 is pretty new and there's not a whole lot out there on them yet. What little I have heard is all good though. The XT-22 happens to come in both tube and box mag configurations. It would seem to me that the mechanics of a tube design would be a little more complex/delicate than a box mag type. But what do I know?
I have a Model 60, Ruger 10/22 and a model 795. The 60 and 795 are probably a bit more accurate than the 10/22 but not so much that it makes a difference unless you are competition shooting.
The current version of the 60 is tube fed, holds 14 rounds in, weighs 5.5 lbs and is 37.5" long. Wood stock. It has a 19" bbl. Price runs from $150-200 depending on location.
The 10/22 is detachable rotary box fed 10 shot, weighs 5.25 lbs, is 37" long with 18.5" bbl. Wood stock. There a a zillion accessories, stock, barrels etc available for it. Street price for the basic model is around $200.
The Marlin 795 is box mag fed 10 shot. Weighs 4.5lbs. OAL is 37" w/18" bbl. Price for the standard blued version is around $100 after factory rebate. They also make a stainess version. Both have a black plastic stock.
Remington 587 is a box mag 10 shot. Weight is 5.5 lbs, OAL is 40" w/20" bbl. Plastic stock. Street price is $160-200 depending on the version.
Don't know much about the others listed. I've had 10/22s for years and you can't go wrong with one. My model 60 doesn't get shot much since it is tube fed. I've had my 795 for about 4 months and I think it is probably the best bang for the buck going right now. Lots of fun to shoot and play around with.
Life Support....
Whats up with people not liking tube fed rifles...... Hell, if you were on life support you would be Tube Fed......:D
I made my speed loaders out of old aluminium arrows at first...then after seeing a guy at the range with a Spee-D, ended up buying one...
altho the cool factor with the arrow speed loaders makes me drag 'em out occasionally ;)
You grip the rifle in one hand & whip out the inner mag tube and hold it under your arm or between yer knees, back pocket...
whatever is most comfy for you...
Then you put the Spee-D-Loader up to the mouth of the mag and dump a load of 18 rounds (or whatever yer 60 is) into it...
then you replace the mag tube. Its THAT fast.
Heck, most folks fumble more with box mags...lol
The Spee-D-Loader runs about $25, and holds 8 chambers of 19 rounds each,
or you can get smaller sizes...8 chambers of 15-rounds for the New 60's...
Once you've practiced with it a bit, you get ugly fast :D
Enough to beat a lot of folks at an Appleseed!!

Do you ever feel not special or not talented. Sometimes I wonder what people like me have to offer the world. Untalented and not smart and just typical.
Most Helpful Guy
The inconvenient truth is that NOBODY is "special". We all like to believe that we're very special but we're not. We're unique to some point - but not special. Not even celebrities or "the select few" are special. They just happen to have won the birth lottery or they work lucky enough to have a good idea or be at the right place at the right time etc. But that doesn't make them special. Even if you're Brad Pitt or Mick Jagger or Hillary Clinton or Bill Gates, you still poop like everyone else and you cook your spaghetti with water just like everyone else. You might have money or power or the opportunity to publicly show a skill you have (such as singing) but that doesn't make you special.33|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I feel that way all the time, but I try to remember that what I have to offer may seem unimportant and trivial to me, but potentially means a lot to someone else. For example, you don't have the level "Master" here in the GaG universe if you have nothing to offer. On your way to this level, you've obviously helped people... whether it's to make them laugh, answer a question or even to just chat... chances are you've helped people. And for me, that makes you special and talented. Taking time to care about other people doesn't get the credit it should.21|10|0

Gorgeous photos and it looks like a fantastic vacation. I love Mexico.ReplyDelete
Loooks like so much fun!! I need a vacation!!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful looking vacation! Will you be sharing any photos of the house you stayed in?ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, the inside of the house was comfortable and clean but I didn't get any photos! The living room didn't have air conditioning (we had lots of ocean breezes, but it was HOT). We did have AC in the bedrooms though. We spent most of our time outside and the aqua blues were amazing.Delete

Looks just perfect and oh so relaxing! And now you have the cool SF summer ahead....ReplyDelete
What fabulous photos--such color. And such fun.ReplyDelete
The swing bar seats and sand floor are genius. Now to find a spot to implement that idea.....
What a beautiful place to just hang out and relax. I love Mexico too, and never get tired of the great fresh food you get down there. The clear blue water and white sand make it that much more appealing. Looks like you had a fabulous time!ReplyDelete
Adiós mi amiga!
Mary Ann,ReplyDelete
What a fun trip. The photographs of the water look amazing. So clear. Thanks for the info about this location for a getaway.
Gorgeous! I would love to just hang out on those swings with a cocktail! I have never been to Mexico because we always end up choosing a Caribbean island. (I have a weak stomach and have always feared Mexico for that reason!) It looks beautiful and I love your painting! Waterlogue to the rescue!ReplyDelete
Wow! I like the way you roll. so glad you got away and had a nice break. you deserve it!ReplyDelete
Now that looks like a perfect vacation, some of our best ones were in Mexico...such a fun place to visit...and love the mini dog sombrero, too cute! Glad you had fun.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful vacation, Mary Ann! Love seeing your beautiful images! Happy weekend ~ReplyDelete
Dayum.....I could use a vacation right about now:) Looks like the whole group had a blast!ReplyDelete

"I don't know how Richard Nixon could have won. I don't know anybody who voted for him."
That's what legendary New York film critic Pauline Kael reportedly said when Richard Nixon won the 1972 presidential election in one of the biggest landslides in history.
Journalist and media critic Bernard Goldberg likes to use the quote to illustrate just how insular the media can be.
It rang in my ears when I looked at the sales numbers for the new BMW 7-Series while researching my review of the Audi A8 (see p. 44).
By almost any measure, the big BMW is a success: It started out with a price tag 6% higher than its predecessor, yet it outsold the benchmark Mercedes-Benz S-Class by almost 1,000 units in 2002. Sales are down the first four months of 2003, but it's still running neck-and-neck with S-Class and the segment's bargain-priced volume leader, the Lexus LS 430, which is $13,000 cheaper.
It's the best showing the 7-Series has enjoyed in at least four or five years.
This information has most of the designers, engineers and automotive journalists I know feeling like Pauline Kael. Almost all of us trashed the new 7-Series and its creator, BMW Chief Designer Chris Bangle, if not publicly or in print, certainly privately.
I started covering the car at its introduction on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Since then, I have not heard one journalist or industry insider (outside of BMW) say: "Bangle is on to something. That car looks like a winner."
Instead, I hear: "I've got to get a 3-Series soon, before that guy (Bangle) gets his hands on it."
In lock-step we attack the 7-Series' doughy proportions, turn signals that sit over the headlights like eyebrows and its high, flat hood. The stubby rear end, with its confusing cuts and creases, is especially singled out for scorn.
Then we nod knowingly as we tell each other stories about how BMW has initiated crash programs to "fix" the disaster. After that we complain about the miserably complex iDrive, which we assume is chasing away potential buyers in droves.
Meanwhile, under our noses, the 7 is eating the competition's lunch and winning over new converts to the BMW brand.
What happened here? Like the new Porsche Cayenne SUV, the 7-Series challenged our quaint notions about what hallowed brands should be, and we got offended.
We also forgot to check in with the real world, where people are willing to spend lots of money on cars and trucks that make them feel good, but who don't care at all about heritage, brands or nostalgia. This also is the world where auto makers have to grow and make consistent profits to survive.
There are diehards who say the jury still is out on the 7-Series.
That's nonsense. "Everyone" simply got this one wrong.
It's time to eat crow, learn more about the real world and stop talking to ourselves so much.

Thats Coolline.
Thats Coolline.
I use Affinitii's UI. I'm sure pretty much everybody knows about it, if not it's available on WoWInterface.
LynUI — I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts
I have never uploaded an UI before but i made a profile for each addon so all you should need to do is load it.
The profile is named "all" so load it in ->
/Kgpanels config
/sldt global
/Acb (profile named halven here)
Chatter and weakauras(?) is something you will need to fix yourself, also bar 3,9 and 10 are on always hidded in the visibility tab.
Or can you simply just change the name of the server and character in the wtf?
If you do it this way rename "Halven" to your character name.

WTF?! I leave for a few weeks and care gets converted?! Lyn, I blame you!!!
But really...I like the new font choice but I am going to agree with the comments on the borders. The current border situation looks messy.
Suggestion...I get that you are trying to work around the new text outline not being mono so maybe try a 2px border for the unit frames with no back shadow. That will give you the visual appearance of a thicker border like your text has now but without the fuzzy-ness that the shadow gives to the edges of the unit frames.
I really do like the font though ( but pixel fonts are still ftw Lyn :P )
Also, the portraits are horrible.
Made a few tweaks, can anyone see anything else that i need to fix?
Is it possible to upload screenshots as TGA files, quality seems a little better that way?

Nice work there. Gotta love how clean it is. 1 question tho, you are using clean thin icons pack to skin your buttons/buffs ?
1. Change the floating combat text. Looks VERY out of place.
2. Make the power bars on the raid frames the same as your unitframes maybe?
3. Line up your boss mods with something. They're just kinda floating there :P
4. Maybe make your boss unitframes the same width as the minimap and place above the minimap.
5. Do you need to see your name on your own player unitframe? XD
I've never understood this CoolLine thing. How do you quickly glance at a specific spell to see how long it's left of it if it is stacked with other spells so the icons overlap? How do you realize a spell is ready if you missed it coming off cooldown on the line? I feel like CoolLine is just a tool for UI enthusiasts to make cooldown tracking look good but is useless if you want to maximize performance.

text: Environment – Time For A Change We make choices in everything we buy. Virtually every product we purchase has some impact on the environment. We need to determine which alternatives are less harmful and choose to use these products and practices whenever possible. It is the cumulative effect of all our seemingly insignificant choices that has led us to our "drawing on the capital" rather than "living off the interest" of our earth's resources.

We contended previously that membership in the U.S. Climate Action Partnership does not speak well of a company's mission or strategy, although there are admittedly good performers on the list. This is because a well-managed corporation does not need government mandates to force businesses and individuals to buy its products (e.g. alternative energy sources, compact fluorescent lamps). As an example, if General Electric was up to the job of engineering cost-effective wind turbines and solar panels, it would probably not be able to make them quickly enough to keep up with demand even without tax credits to encourage their purchase. When Henry Ford engineered an affordable alternative to horses and their solid waste, he did not need government mandates to sell his product either.
As an experiment, we created a hypothetical stock portfolio that assumes the purchase of $1000 worth of each USCAP corporate member's publicly traded stock on January 2, 2002. (It does not include Duke Energy, DUK, because there appears to have been a stock split of some kind, Shell Oil, which has multiple symbols, or NRG, which was not listed in 2002.) This gave us $18,000 in eighteen stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 10,073.40 and the Standard and Poor 500 closed at 1,154.67 on January 2, 2002. March 9's closes were 6,547.05 (down 35%) and 676.53 (down 41.4%) respectively. Our hypothetical $18,000 worth of USCAP stock (18 companies) would be worth $10,555.58 (down 41.36%) on March 9. In other words, a portfolio of equally weighted USCAP publicly traded corporations underperformed the Dow, and just about equaled the S&P 500. Had we also purchased $1000 worth of former USCAP members Lehman Brothers and AIG, our $20,000 investment would now be worth about $10,556 or so, i.e. down 47 percent from January 2, 2002.
(1) We currently hold no stock positions in any of the companies in question. If we did, we would initiate a shareholder resolution to withdraw from USCAP.
(2) We are not experts in comparing stocks or portfolios; the following procedure describes our assessment to the best of our ability.
If you have access to Yahoo Finance, you can create a stock portfolio in the same manner to test assumptions about a given stock or group of stocks. Create a custom portfolio, look up the stock price on January 2, 2002 (or any other reference date), divide $1000 by that price, and enter the number of shares in the transaction record. This starts you off with $1000 worth of each stock as a basis. This allows you to assess the current value of the portfolio. Ours consists of: AA, BSX, CAT, COP, DD, DE, EXC, F, FPL, GE, GM, JNC, PCG, PEP, PNM, RTP, SI, XRX.
Our experiment confirms our opinion that USCAP's publicly traded members, on average, underperform the rest of the stock market, which suggests that their management is, on average, below par. Good managers would make money the old fashioned way, per the old Smith Barney commercial; they would earn it through the delivery of cost-effective products and services instead of asking the government to force people to buy their products and services. Here are some of the companies that doubtlessly pull down the performance of the USCAP stock index, and in whose company the better performers might not wish to be seen:
AIG (former USCAP member) now on life support from the government.
General Electric: apparently not up to the job of engineering alternative energy products that are cost-effective for businesses and individuals to buy.
General Motors
(1) Unwilling and unable to control its health care costs by demanding that the hospitals that provide health care to workers and retirees implement quality systems to prevent medical errors and inefficiencies (an approach recommended by GM's own industry association, the Automotive Industry Action group)
(2) Insists on pushing inventory onto dealer lots instead of making cars to order
(3) Tolerated the "job bank" in which extra workers are paid to do crossword puzzles or watch movies. The reason for the job bank is that, the instant you lay people off in response to productivity improvements, they stop improving productivity. You are, however, supposed to assign them to meaningful work (there is always plenty to do) instead of insulting them by paying them to stare at the wall.
Lehman Brothers (former USCAP member): wanted to trade in carbon emission credits as opposed to producing something of value to society. We do not see Lehman Brother's collapse as any great loss to society or even, in the long run, the U.S. economy.
As stated by Kimberly Strassel's "If the Cap Fits,"
- There was a time when the financial press understood that companies exist to make money. And it happens that the cap-and-trade climate program these 10 jolly green giants are now calling for is a regulatory device designed to financially reward companies that reduce CO2 emissions, and punish those that don't.
Four of the affiliates–Duke, PG&E, FPL and PNM Resources–are utilities that have made big bets on wind, hydroelectric and nuclear power. So a Kyoto program would reward them for simply enacting their business plan, and simultaneously sock it to their competitors. Duke also owns Cinergy, which relies heavily on dirty, CO2-emitting coal plants. But Cinergy will soon have to replace those plants with cleaner equipment. Under a Kyoto, it'll get paid for its trouble.
DuPont has been plunging into biofuels, the use of which would soar under a cap. Somebody has to cobble together all these complex trading deals, so say hello to Lehman Brothers. Caterpillar has invested heavily in new engines that generate "clean energy." British Petroleum is mostly doing public penance for its dirty oil habit, but also gets a plug for its own biofuels venture.
Finally, there's General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt these days spends as much time in Washington as Connecticut. GE makes all the solar equipment and wind turbines (at $2 million a pop) that utilities would have to buy under a climate regime. GE's revenue from environmental products long ago passed the $10 billion mark, and it doesn't take much "ecomagination" to see why Mr. Immelt is leading the pack of climate profiteers.
As a final note, let us not forget that Barack Cade (after Jack Cade from King Henry VI) Obama supports the agenda of using carbon taxes and cap-and-trade schemes to transfer money from manufacturing industries, utilities, and the public at large (which would be hit with higher costs for all forms of carbon-based energy) to USCAP's fat-cat climate profiteers and other special interests, and from largely Red States with manufacturing industries to mostly Blue States with low per-capita energy use: low because most of the residents do not work in factories, and would not even set foot in a factory if they could possibly avoid it.

Tradition and Common Property Management
Since management of a common property resource can be undertaken only by a government of finitely lived agents, studying the behavior of such governments is a natural way to study common property management. The author proposes that we regard the choice of management objective by such a government as a 'move' in a game of sequential agents. Given this framework, it is shown that subgame perfect equilibria exist in which successive governments choose the same 'traditional' management objective. These strategies enable an economy to overcome any intergenerational externality. Thus, following a tradition of conservation may be a rational response to an intergenerational externality.

Dear Accokeek
Academy Parents, Guardians and Students:
I hope you are
enjoying your summer with family and friends.
I am humbled and honored to have served this community for the past five
years and am anxiously preparing for the beginning of the new school year. We welcome our new members of the community
and hope that each of you will embrace them as well. We are excited to announce that we have moved
closer to our vision of becoming a child-centered professional learning
community with a culture of continuous improvement where respect, effort,
efficacy and excellence abound. We are
also moving into our new homes as the completion of the middle school is finalizing.
With our move
comes change and higher expectations for all stakeholders. We have been blessed with a multi-million
dollar facility to continue our vision and mission. This will require each of us taking ownership
to ensure that we become the 21st Century school that we
envisioned. We are making available
technology at every grade level; Environmental Science with our green roof and
garden areas; the continuation of an exciting musical program beginning in grade
3; the addition of Family and Consumer Science elective in middle school; and
our continual effort to elevate the rigor for all courses of instruction. It takes a village to improve the work that
we do and to ensure that all of us take responsibility for our new school and
all of its opportunities. As you prepare
for the opening of school, please make an effort to have your child to complete
all of the Summer Packets found online for their previous and upcoming grade
level. This will help to get our
students back into the habit of school and assist in alleviating the "summer
loss" that is so prominent.
Our school hours
for all students is from 9:05am until 3:55pm.
Parent pick-up will be from 3:35 until 4:00pm. All grade levels will ride the same school
buses for both arrival and dismissal.
Please continue your patience with the construction during opening. We will not have access to the old Ferguson
entrance for the first few months of the school year. Additionally, it is important to note that
the front parking lot is now the bus lot and no cars, except for staff going
into the Lower Campus Staff Parking Lot.
Only on the first day of school,
parents that choose to escort their students into the building may park in the
Bus Lot. Car riders will drop off
students in two locations. Grades K – 4
must follow buses into the bus lot and unload in front of the building. Please be mindful that passing buses
off-loading students is a violation of law.
Grades 5 – 8 will enter the drop off area from the Livingston Road
entrance. Please follow along the circle and do not pass. During dismissal the bus lot entrance is only
for buses. All parent pick-ups will be
from the Livingston Road entrance until the Lower Campus entrance is
accessible. Persons conducting official
business between 10am and 2:30pm, may park in the bus lot. There will be 100% ID checks for all parent
pick-ups. We ask for strict adherence to
these new procedures.
Also included in
this mailing are some important items that we wanted to get into your hands to
enable you to plan accordingly:
The Uniform
Policy for Grades 6-8: 6th
graders will have heather gray collared shirts; 7th graders will
continue with their royal blue shirts and 8th graders with their
gold shirts; all grades will continue with navy blue pants. All colored shoes will be acceptable. The entire uniform policy is available on our
school's website.
We will
continue as an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) School this
year. AVID requires every student to
organize using a specific color-coded binder system. School supplies, Agenda Books, and sturdy
Staples Binders will available for purchase online. The requirements per grade level are
attached. School Supply Kits are
prepackaged by grade. The School Supply
Kit is $40 for elementary (K-5th grade) and $45 for middle school (6th-8th
grade). The Agenda Book is $7 and the
Binder is offered for $10. Please see
our website to order in advance. Agenda
Books remain mandatory so that we may strive for 100% daily signing. You may go to the school's website to order
and we will continue to sell these items at the School Fair.
You are encouraged to join our PTSA (Parent
Teacher Student Association) and suggest your ideas. We are delighted to begin working closely
with our new PTSA President, Ms. Michelle Juarez.
Bus schedules will be mailed directly to your
home in August from the Transportation Office.
Bus information will also be available on the PGCPS website in August.
Kindergarten and 7th grade students
are required to have additional immunizations.
Please see the attached flyer and remember that your child may be
excluded from school if immunizations are not current.
Please mark your
August 18, 2016 5:30-6:30pm – Accokeek Academy's Back to School Fair where
we celebrate the new school year! We
provide transportation information, school supplies and you have the
opportunity to meet the staff.
August 22, 2016 - Kindergarten
(9:00am) and Middle School Orientation for New Students to Accokeek Academy
Only. All students, parents and
guardians new to our school are encouraged to attend these orientations.
Students are required to wear a uniform to New Student Orientation. Regular
school buses will run on Orientation day. Please be sure to note both the AM
and PM numbers, as they are often two different route numbers. Please ensure
that your child makes a notation of bus numbers in her/his notebook to ensure
she/he boards the correct bus. Students should be at the bus stop 10-15 minutes
early each day. If you have questions or concerns regarding the bus routes and
stops, please call the transportation department at (301) 952-6570 or check the
school system's website.
August 23, 2016 – First Day of School for All Students
are encouraged to be on time. However,
no student is to arrive before 8:45am as there is no supervision
available. Students are encouraged to
check the windows of the cafeteria for their homeroom assignments the weekend
before school begins. All students will
receive their schedules on the first day of school. Parents are encouraged to
escort their students to school on the first day.
August 31, 2016 – Lower Campus (K-4th Grade) Back-to-School
Night. All parents
are encouraged to attend and meet their child's teachers and learn the expectations
of their schedules and course work.
September 1, 2016 – Upper
Campus (5th-8th) Back-to-School Night.
please be aware that our curriculum is based on the Common Core State
Standards. Information can be found at: https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/common-core-parent-portal/ .
Please take the time to review this information and share with your
child. Refer to this page often throughout
the school year. Please also be mindful
that in order to create the best environment for all students, appropriate
behavior is essential. Remember that our new buildings are our responsibility
to preserve for now and the years to come.
Educationally yours,
Judy N. Adams, Ed.D.
We will prepare our students to be lifelong learners and independent thinkers in a college ready environment; by providing literacy-driven and research based instructional strategies with measurable assessments including PARCC and PSAT-8 readiness.
Hello Accokeek Academy Family,
Our first month of school is coming to a rapid end. We have begun the school year on a positive
note with teachers working very hard for student mastery of the Common
Core. We were very pleased to discuss the
upcoming school year and expectations at Back to School Nights and the
curriculum at our Common Core Night.
Thank you for your attendance at the event and we look forward to our
continued discussions about Common Core.
Please keep in mind the three succinct elements of Common Core: focus, coherence, and rigor. The curriculum focuses on student mastery of
concepts and skills taught for deep understanding. The design of the curriculum was to backward
map to college and career readiness standards and provides those key elements
from kindergarten to 12th grade for success. Finally, academic rigor is the key to the
development of critical thinking and problem solving skills.
As we enter our first full year in the new building, the
number of vandalizing incidents by students saddens me. These incidents included: tearing a piece of the covering of the
partition in the instrumental music room; placing chewing gum on furniture and
doors; ripping soap dispensers from the bathroom walls; writing on desks,
chairs, walls and doors; and scratching the Smart Boards. We have a state-of-the-art building and
technology. We want to keep these things
in place for years to come. Please
advise your child that this is like having a new home and we would like to keep
it beautiful. We will pursue restitution
and punishment if these acts of disrespect for property continue.
Teachers have come to know your students and their
challenges. Many are offering additional
assistance during various times of the school day and before or after
school. Many teachers also offer online
assistance through the use of additional resources such as: videos, practice
items, reading materials and various software programs. Please ensure that your student is taking
full advantage of these opportunities.
A final word on literacy.
Literacy is our primary goal of academic achievement. We measure reading literacy by Lexile
scores. By the time your child leaves
Accokeek Academy for high school, their Lexile score should be 1250 or higher. Please keep this score in mind and ask your
child their Lexile score. Reading every
night for a minimum of 20 minutes will help to improve your child's vocabulary,
Lexile score and love of reading.
Research indicates that while children are learning to read, they are
not reading enough to develop a love of reading and therefore will not reach
the goal of a 1250 Lexile.
Please be mindful of the 8th Grade Parent Night
for an introduction to the high school programs on October 1st. The following night on October 2nd
we will kick off the National History Day project that every student in grades
6-8 are expected to complete. This is an
interdisciplinary project for students to self-select a topic and work over a
10-week period to develop a deep understanding.
For additional information, please go to National History Day Project. On October 30th, Ms. Sonya
Williams will host a forum in our multipurpose room on Bullying and
Harassment. All are invited to attend.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any concerns
or questions you may have. Let's
continue to grow our partnership to create the most positive and academic rigorous
environment together.
Educationally yours,
Judy N. Adams

to continue in our leadership roles for our fourth consecutive year. We have new and returning members of our
staff as we welcome our students to the new school year. We believe that the
plans for this school year will create engagement for our students to become
successful by attaining critical thinking and organizational skills.
Parents, our quest to
provide your children with a rigorous and relevant instructional program is paramount
to us. We are school wide AVID
(Advancement Via Individual Determination).
We will focus on the WICOR
strategies of success. These strategies
are Reading and Writing in every classroom every day; delivering Inquiry-driven instruction; Collaboration in the classroom among
and between students and teachers between teachers and parents and teachers;
intense focus on student Organizational
skills through our color-coded binder system and daily agenda signing. We will continue with the standards of the
Common Core curriculum driving our instruction.
This curriculum will require students to problem solve and think
critically. Parents play a key role in
the academic success of our students; therefore, school/parent communication is
crucial. We appreciate all of your
support as we continue to push our students to excel at greater heights.
Please mark your calendars:

Judy N.
Dear Accokeek Academy Parents, Guardians, and
I hope that you are
enjoying your summer with family and friends. I am humbled and honored to have served
this community for the past three years and am anxiously preparing for the
beginning of the new school year. We have collectively engaged in activities
and changes that have brought us closer to our vision to become a
child-centered professional learning community with a culture of continuous
improvement where respect, effort, efficacy and excellence abound. As we embark
upon this new year we wanted to keep you informed. Our high expectations for the success for all
students have prompted this summer's communication. Research reveals that during the summer,
students can lose up to 50% of their content knowledge and even more of their
reading comprehension efficiency rate.
Mitigating this summer loss can be achieved with your assistance. Please visit our website: www1.pgcps.org/Accokeek
. There you will find information
on the Accokeek Academy Summer Reading Plan and the County's Summer
Packets. Consider having your child to
complete both their current year packet and their rising grade's packet.
Students will receive credit for returning it at the beginning of the school
included in this mailing are some important items that we wanted to get into
your hands early in the summer and it will enable you to plan accordingly:
Please mark your calendar:
Thursday, August 21, 2014 5:30pm – 6:30pm
Back to School Fair
Please visit our school's website, www1.pgcps.org/Accokeek, or our Twitter or
our Facebook page for updates and announcements. The teachers, staff, and administration look
forward to working with you and continuing to build our Accokeek community as
Soar to Excellence...THE ACCOKEEK WAY!

Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
Publisher: Brentano's 1010
Number of pages: 408
The publication in 1857 of Madame Bovary, with its vivid depictions of sex and adultery, incited a backlash of immorality charges. The novel tells the story of Emma Bovary, a doctor's wife bored and unfulfilled by marriage and motherhood. She embarks upon a series of affairs in search of passion and excitement, but is unable to achieve the splendid life for which she yearns. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a downward spiral that inexorably leads to ruin and self-destruction.

This isn't specifically MonoGame-related, but it is applicable to MonoGame developers.
I've just released v1.0 of HLSL Tools for Visual Studio, an extension for VS2013 and VS2015 that adds IntelliSense support when editing HLSL shaders.
Specifically, HLSL Tools adds these features on top of the basic HLSL syntax highlighting that comes built-in to Visual Studio:
Blog post here: http://timjones.tw/blog/archive/2016/04/25/hlsl-tools-for-visual-studio-v1.0-released
GitHub here: https://github.com/tgjones/HlslTools
Please try it out, and if you find it useful, let me know! If you find any bugs, or want to request a feature, you can do so on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/tgjones/HlslTools/issues
Nice! I've used it since the 0.9 version, for some reason I had to uninstall and reinstall, but now it works and it's better than before
Either way, it's awesome! Thank you so much! Very much recommended to any MonoGame Dev
I loved this tools in v0.9.x and i still love it
Thanks! I've been using this as well! Very helpful
Does the latest version of the extension exclude VS2013 ? I can't install the update from "extensions and updates" nor when downloading the vsix. As no mention of VS2013 is made on the extensions page nor on github, i suppose it does not support vs2013 ?message: "this extension is not supported on the current product" (VS 2013 Ultimate)
You're right - the latest version only supports VS2015 and VS2017. There are two reasons:
I don't have space on my disk for 3 versions of Visual Studio, so I'm not easily able to test in VS2013.
There are some VS2015+ APIs that I want to use in HLSL Tools.
I've just realised that I forgot to mention the VS2015 requirement in the changelog, sorry about that. I'll fix that.
Out of interest, why aren't you using VS2015?
I only dropped VS2013 support because I didn't think many people are still using VS2013, and I'm hoping to only support 2 versions at a time. But if there are enough VS2013 users, I'll reconsider that decision.
I can understand that
Well, as part of a team with 6 friends of mine, when VS2013 was released, we bought the license of the ultimate edition togather, as we needed all the features to fullfill/match each skill of the team.
Nowadays, as Microsoft releases a new IDE every 2 years, we can't afford the fee each time, for only a "few changes" So we stick with the 2013 as long as we don't see more advantages for us in the newer versions. Moreover, most of us are still under windows 7, not 8 nor 10.

WIP Wednesday: Spin Cycle
After last week's lack of progress in virtually everything, I was hoping for major productivity this week, but alas, my machine had other ideas—it decided it needed some time out at the sewing machine spa instead. So with Thanksgiving bearing down on us, I decided to keep busy with another one of these knitted Christmas stockings. You might remember that I knitted one last year and it turned out comically huge. This one looks like it's actually for a normal-sized human being—so far, so good.
Also this week: Now that sewing is my job instead of "just" my hobby, I've found that actually washing and using my quilts has become something of an act of courage. I mean, what if somebody wants to put that quilt in a show or photograph it for a magazine? What if it's no longer 100% perfect for my trunk shows? (Okay, it wasn't ever 100% perfect in the first place, but you know what I mean.) But an important tenet of modern quilting is that quilts should actually be used, and I'm still very committed to that. So today, my Fair Isle and Wavelength quilts are taking their first trips through the spin cycle (accompanied by several Shout Color Catchers!), and then they will join the pile of quilts next to my couch that are available to be used by the whole family. That's not to say you won't still see those two quilts in my future trunk shows—it's just that when you do, they might show a few more signs of being "loved".

Despite scaling new heights with the success of Ascend P6 in 2013, China's Huawei is still being looked as the underdog.
While the company continues to do roaring business in its native country and other emerging nations; Huawei-made phones are not popular in the west.
Particularly, a great effort has been made to indentify to make right devices for the developed markets.
At the same time, Huawei seem to be thinking to launch a dual-boot Android/ Windows phone in the US in Q2 2014.
After India-based Karbonn, China's most prominent smartphone maker has plans to release a dual-boot handset in the coming months to come.

In an exclusive interview given to Trusted Reviews, Shao Yang, Huawei's Chief Marketing Officer, revealed that the WP8 OS is a better prospect when offered alongside Android as a part of a dual OS device.
"If it is Windows only, maybe people will not find it as easy a decision to buy the phone. If they have the Android and Windows together, you can change it as you wish and it is much easier for people to choose Windows Phone", he added.
According to Yang, the dual OS handsets could make the device more appealing to a wider consumer base. However, the high-profile executive did not elaborate plans to released dual-boot handsets in other emerging markets, like India and Brazil.
Earlier this month, Karbonn Mobiles Chairman Sudhir Hasija, had been quoted saying that the company will release its first Android/ Windows Phone dual-boot smartphone in June this year. This will also be India's first such device, according to Karbonn Chairman.
While tech vendors seems pretty much confident about the prospects of dual-boot / hybrid devices; however, both Google and Microsoft have shown their uneasiness towards hybrid devices. Reportedly, Asus' dual-boot Transformer Book Duet, which was first announced at this year's CES, has likely been cancelled due to strong opposition from Google and Microsoft. Apparently, Microsoft has a "new policy" of not supporting dual-OS products. Even Google is against the deal of dual-boot devices.
