|Minimalistic Compilations, DPS Compilations, Tank Compilations
o I want a minimalist UI, that don't fill the screen with tons of floating numbers and bars etc, in raid or in determinated situations have a clear screen, be question of make a wipe or no.
o I want a friendly UI to make quest, achievements, raid, and dungeon runs etc, with shorcuts and easy ways to view / acces to information / functions.
o I want a elegant UI (simple but elegant), with simetrical appereance (all simetrical that be posible).
o I want a good base to add (or) customize the functions / appareance of the UI.
o I want an UI that allow me to show / hide elements that I don't use in this moment (for example Skada / Omen, Raid cooldowns, or the Raid manager, an UI with elements of expand / collapse to avoid fill the screen with innecesary windows / info.
o Minimalistic appareance.
o Good amount of information.
o Oriented to PVE, leveling , quest, achievements.
o A good base to modify all elements.
o Pixel perfect.
o Dark colors to avoid eye damage when it is night.
o Custom profiles on Vex Power for all Classes*.
o Pet Battle frames customized.
o Chat with a lot of functions / extras.
o Watch Frame customized.
o Very good appearance thanks to Aurora.
o Movable Frames (click the bedside of the frame and drag were you want).
o Bags organized by sections, (ALT + Right click over the items), more info here.
o Efficiency when performing actions, many shortcuts (Less common actions to access places).
o PVP Oriented.
o A lower resolution than 19020 x 1080 (Really don't try this UI on lower or higher resolutions).
o Eficiency: In terms of eficiency, I know that exist a lot of ways to do, what my UI do, but with less consumption of CPU / Memory, I do my best, but at this moment, my knowledge is limited to that.
o Make more PVP friendly: My interface can be used for PvP, but don't have all that a "PVP" user must want. (Frames for gladius for example).
o Dependances: I like a lot Kgpanels, but for this same reason, I create dependencies to a lot of addons, to improve their appereance / utility, with scripts that are directly linked to the addon, if the addon don't be enabled / loaded, the most secure that, get a pretty pop-up with tons of errors, make sure to read all the info of this page to avoid that.
o More flexibility: In terms of flexibility, I want make the chat more flexible, the chat actually is limited to 3 tabs and has a very strict configuration, the chat is combined with a lot of panels to make it more "visual", but for this reason, its very strict to changes too.
o Color for Priest: The default "mouseover" and font on good amount of elements, is white, and the color of Priest is white too, so the appereance of the UI on Priest don't be the optimal, to fix that the best way is Class Colors of Phanx, and in their configuration change the class color of Priest for any of your taste (Reload ui to apply the changes).
[1] Make sure (sure much), that you make a copy of your previous interface, for do that, you only must copy the folders "Interface", and "WTF", contained in your WoW folder, after you do that (with the backup in a good place), delete the folders of WTF and Interface.
[2] After do the backup of your old interface, extract the files of "Akatosh-UI", the zip archive contain 2 folders, that you must paste into your WoW folder, when the old folders of "Interface", and "WTF" were.
[3] After you paste the folders, you must rename the folders contained in WTF ->, Account -> [ACCOUNTNAME], [SERVER] and [CHARACTER], be very exact with the names, a simple Cap or coma, that don't match, make that the UI don't work.
[3.1] [ACCOUNTNAME]= Name of your account.[4] If you do all the steps well, run WoW, and adjust the system preferences.
[5] In character selection (at least the first time), make sure that you enable all the addons, and the opcion of "load old accessories", is ticked.
[6] Once you are already inside, by default, appear a pop-up confirmation, that ask you if you want apply the config of "Akatosh-Final", you must press yes, or type /reflux switch Akatosh-Final.

The chat config: The chat window at this moment its positioned with a good amount of panels, so the size and the position of the chat is very strict, if you move or change the position, a lot elements don't fit with it, and the chat a very ugly apperance.
Special mention: To the file chat-cache.txt, this file is what contain, all the default size and position (and tabs), of the chat frame, if you create or change to another char, make sure that you put a copy of the original file of my interface (by default in the [CHARACTER] folder in the corresponding folder of your char.
As the first version, possibly you meet with numerous errors, please say you know about (Feedback tab or PM or if you want contact me In-Game., so I can correct them, but have in mind, that I can't solve all, not all errors can be fixed for my side, or simply, I have not enough knowledge to fix.
I have invested thousands of hours to make this interface, good times .... bad times, so appreciate that even if you like it, at least the effort invested is recognized, start from scratch without having any idea of programming Lua (and still not have it), and to achieve this, it is not easy, I literally, stopped doing all when started doing my interface, to focus all my efforts on it, exactly 1 year ago (25- nov) , so it's the best "birthday" that a UI can have, I am really happy to have finished the UI, and I can finally get back to playing wow.
Finally, thanks for all the authors, that like me, invert huge amount of time, to make like me UI, a lot of more posible, and thanks for the people that help me all this time in the forums, whitout you, that UI never can be posible to do it.
Any help to improve the UI (Feedback tab or PM), would be welcome (and I need a lot), if you need more directly help, are free to contact me In-Game.

Sorry for the Issues caused by this.
***Users with version 1.0.7 or later of the UI***If you don't want Re-Install the UI, you only must do the next:
Re-download the UI and pick the next archives of the fresh download:

***Users with version 1.0.1 or 1.0.0 of the UI***The only difference betwen 1.0.2 and the 1.0.1 are 1 line of code, so basically you don't need re-download and re-install the UI, the only that you need to do is:
Edit the file MyMedia.lua localed in [WoW folder] -> [Interface] -> [Addons] -> [SharedMedia_MyMedia].
And change the line 12:

Hey Akatosh !
Thanks for your helpfull answer !
Raven is now working just fine and I love it
But I have still problems with my questlog :/
I went into the options of SWF and played around with them but the quests still dont want to be in the right place. I disabled the addon now so I can do quests Is it ok to have it disabled or will I get error messages from this ?
And is there a way to have the "Blizzard Damage Font" to be permanently disabled ? When I disable it by myself it turn itself back to normal after a bit. I realy just want the scrolling combat text to be visible not both. I hope there is a way to change this
I dont know why but Skada is still not showing any information (Damage or Dps). The windows just stays blank.

I hope that I help you
First of all, I see that you have a little problem with the borders of the unitframes, if you don't want download my UI one more time, pls just follow the instructions of the change log, to fix the problem, the green border in that screenshot may fit with the quality, or in general a colored border, of the target (and what I see in the screenshot that border must be yellow colored (like elite default color)), the version that I upload now have this problem fixed, really sorry for the issues that cause that error.
Ok I explain you.
In Raven config (just type /raven), enter on the section Bar Groups -> at the top-left exist the bar group named (Cooldowns), inside that section, enter in the section "Buffs", at the bottom of this secction exist a option called "White List", that secction allow you to set what cooldowns, want track, by default I put the cooldowns of my class as can you see, (DK), that you must do, is just type the name of the spells that you want track (and then push enter), I use that instead of the automatic mode, because sometimes the addon track a lot of buffs that don't be for my interest, so with that option I cant track, what I want see, and what I don't want see, I use that bars to show the most important buffs / cooldowns to see it more easy.
For the Theme of Skada, at start just do Rightclick on the panel, by default the panel show in that mode, you can change that behavior in the skada options
For the Theme of ScrollWhatchFrame (QuestLog).
That panel have a scrollbar, for improve the space used (you can use the scrollwheel of mouse up or down over the frame to scroll it), is specialy usefull when you track a lot of quest, and have a limited space to show it.
If you want change the size of the scrollbar just type /SWF options.
Appear a new window with a few options.
You must change the option of the white square as you like.
I use that instead of the default addon give, cause the textures are really buged, and when you collapse the buttons, the appareance is very ugly, (I don't recomend you change the dimensions of the windows), is ajusted to dont collide with the pet bar / raid boss frames / dbm bars / vehicle state.
If you want disable this addon, make sure that delete the panel of kgpanels too named "SFW_Fix".
(Type /kgpanels config -> enable panels -> select the panel -> and then delete.
Don't delete or modify nothing more of kgpanels, modify a diferent panel that I say you, cause a good amount of errors for sure.
Thanks for say me that issues, I include a secction on the main page of the UI!.

Hey there !
First I want to say that your Ui is very well build and I realy like it.
Now to things that I have found that dont work as intendet:
-I have no "short buff"-bar above my own Unitframe. (I have them over the Target frame and can see my own short buffs by targeting myself) Dont know whats the issue there.)
-Skada is not showing any information atm.(As you can see on the screenshot above) I'll try to update it manualy and see if it works
-I have a problem with my Questlog. Dont know how to explain it right so just look at the screenshot.
I think at the moment that's all I have on bugs
Again thank you for your hard work on this one

Corvette made its public debut in January 1953 at the 1953 GM Motorama held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Production began in June of that year in a pilot production facility in Flint, Michigan, where the cars were largely assembled by hand as production processes were developed for assembling the revolutionary fiberglass bodies. The surviving examples constitute the rarest Corvettes of all, and while America's Sports Car has come a long way, the first Corvettes remain among the most sought-after by collectors. Winner of Bloomington Gold Certification, multiple NCRS Top Flight Awards and the NCRS Duntov Award (the plaque for which remains in the possession of a previous owner), this 1953 Chevrolet Corvette roadster is serial number 93 of the 300 examples built in the historic first year of Corvette production, and one of fewer than approximately 125 to 140 known to exist today. The car was first restored in the mid-1970s and again in the early 2000s. Like all first year Corvettes, it is finished in iconic Polo White with a Sportsman Red interior and Black soft top, and powered by Chevrolet's 235/150 HP "Blue Flame Six" fitted with triple Carter sidedraft carbs and mated to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. One of the finest first-year Corvettes anywhere, this iconic roadster is documented with ownership history dating to 1975.
- 2009 Bloomington Gold certified
- NCRS Duntov award, previous owner kept plaque
- Multiple NCRS Top Flight awards
- Restored in the mid 1970s and early 2000s
- #93 of 300 produced
- Only 125-140 of the 300 known to exist
- Blue Flame Six
- Powerglide
- Side draft carbs
- Wonderbar radio
- Polo White with Sportsman Red interior
- Owner history back to 1975
- One of the finest 1953 Corvettes anywhere

Back in the mid-eighties, not many companies were thinking ahead to the movement of mass amounts of data across distributed networks. The concept of web data movement was in its infancy, and the idea of web backup hadn't even been launched yet. In fact, most of the world was waiting and watching to see what the new 'net' would look like.
Though ARPANET nodes came online as early as August of 1969, and rudimentary email programs appeared as early as 1972, the challenges of the day were in defining and enabling the network, not necessarily in ensuring the safety or sustainability of the data it created. Indeed, it was not until the advent of the first computer virus which totally disabled the ARPANET system in August of 1980 that anyone began to pay attention to the vulnerabilities of digital data.
Today, web backup is one of the most popular ways to backup critical computer data and files. Companies and households alike are taking advantage of high-speed connections to the internet and backing their data and files up to offsite servers, automatically. It is entirely possible to move massive amounts of data over the internet, and with the advent of bit backup technology, to maintain these huge data sets using binary patching - eliminating the need for periodic massive file transfers. What was once thought to be impossible has now become mainstream technology, and we aren't finished innovating yet.
Remote Backup Systems, Inc. designed the world's first remote backup software for microcomputers in the late eighties. What started as a 'basement project' of our founder and CEO Rob Cosgroveis still in a constant state of refinement today, and has grown to be the world's most popular commercial grade online backup software. In use by over 7000 organizations in 65 countries worldwide, RBackup Remote Backup software is the de-facto 'pro's choice' software solution for offering commercial online data backup services.

Video Course Budgets with Soulver
Dig in a little with the Mac OS X application Soulver. Spend 9 minutes learning how to use Soulver to create home budgets and project or travel cost estimates in two different styles.
Soulver has recently become one of my favorite and most useful Mac OS X applications. It is billed as an application that "helps you work things out." I frequently use Soulver to brainstorm project budgets, vacation costs and even a home budget.
In this 9 minute video (part of the LunchWith Series), I walk through how to create two different styles of budgets with Soulver: line item budget and (what I call) a prose budget. Using Soulver's laid back approach to data entry, we create both a traditional budget and one that uses sentences to describe our incomes and expenses.
Tip: Click the four arrows icon on the right of the video player to watch the video in full HD.

Help Kids with Juvenile Arthritis Get Up and Go
Arthritis among children can take many forms but the most common type is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Young patients diagnosed with this, or with the host of other types of arthritis that exist, often experience swelling, tenderness and pain in one or more joints, making it difficult to move, especially in the mornings. But moving can actually stretch and strengthen the joints, allowing your child to feel better.
Don't Let Symptoms Get in the Way
While stiffness can be a hallmark sign of juvenile arthritis, it doesn't have to stop your child from engaging in the sports and other activities he or she enjoys. In fact, doctors stress the importance of keeping young people with arthritis active, both when the condition is flaring up and also when the symptoms are in remission. Ideally, a professional physical therapist or other expert can work with your child to help design an individualized exercise plan that will be safe and effective and to suggest specific exercises that can be done at home that will help to keep joints as flexible as possible.
Safe Activities
Since every child has different needs, it is best to get your doctor's advice before your child tackles anything new, but some of the types of exercise that experts recommend as good activity choices include:
- Swimming
- Biking
- Walking
- Playing tennis
The key is to find low-impact activities that won't put too much stress on the joints and won't overtax your child's body. Some children with arthritis will also be able to engage in a variety of sports as long as their conditions are well under control. Just keep in mind that activities that involve weight bearing exercises, jogging or jumping generally are not advised.
Other Recommendations
Rheumatologists remind parents that while staying active can be difficult, especially when your child is uncomfortable, it often helps when the whole family makes activity a regular part of the day and offers frequent support and encouragement.
Other things you can do to help your child feel his or her best:
- Encourage a balanced diet
- Ensure your child maintains a healthy weight
- Promote adequate sleep
- Monitor medication compliance
- Teach stress management techniques
- Help your child to lead as normal a life as possible

Exhibition: Tasker – Hampshire's Little Giant, Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age, Andover, from June 18 2011
Across the rivers and roads surrounding the Andover Museum, a series of small cast-iron bridges are reminders of a once-mighty local powerhouse.
In the mid-19th century (the earliest photo of them dates from 1860) Robert Tasker built his Waterloo Iron Works in Anna Valley, a swathe of cheap land reclaimed with chalk to create a full-scale iron mill.
Barges from Southampton supplied the centre with coke and iron, and a perfectly-positioned stream, the Pillhill Brook, drove a waterwheel to power bellows and a lathe.
Ploughs, iron tyres, gates, railings, garden rollers, cooking stoves and seed drills were among its prolific production line, but perhaps the most eye-opening revelations in this intriguing snapshot of community history at the Andover Museum concerns working hours.
In the 1880s, workers would start at 6am and continue until 5pm or, even more exhaustively, stretch their shift to 7.30pm when they served overtime. Boys of just 13 were paid 15p a week, rising by 5p a week until the age of 21.
Other themes explored in the show include agriculture, the wartime exploits of the works and the lives of the Tasker family. Organisers are also hoping that a raft of images from the Hampshire Museum Service archives will help local residents to spot relatives who worked at the site.
- Open Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm (4pm Saturday). Admission free.

" Hit the mtns and make it a day trip go up us 411 thru Chatsworth and go up the mtn at Eton or go a few more miles and go up at Crandel or go a few more miles and go up at Cisco all these go up on grassy mtn or the Cisco route if you follow the signs you can go to jacks river. All these rds eventially turn to dirt but are very passable this time of year. BEAUTIFUL AND ONLY 80 MILES NORTH OF HOTLANTA.

Steve I believe Bamster's perception of Atlanta is on point and there's a reason most of don't visit inside the perimeter. Do you watch the news on a daily basis? Bamster's a realist. Barnsley Gardens is my choice. Will cost you a few beans in fuel to get there Steve.

We love to go down by the old grist mill at Stone Mountain Park. You can bring your 9mm if you want, but you won't really need it.
July 12th, 2011
6:44 am
Steve- I think you are correct. I run in Piedmont Park every evening and feel completely safe.
AnATLminority- The news is filled with violence and crime from every inch of the world… just look at this morning- Hall county…. but I guess you will never go there again either. The only way to lower crime is reclaim the area. This is not done by running and hiding in fear.
Perfect picnic – grilled veggies, fried chicken, and of course sweet tea all packed up and ready for screen on the green with my better half
July 12th, 2011

Hey, CC.— I personally know the people in Hall county. it was a domestic arguement. We are all in shock, about this, pray for the family, dont prey on the family…

I'm liking Fowler Park off Hwy9 in Forsyth County. It's new,lots of space, dog friendly and the grooviest skate board park for great entertainment. Those skaters are clearly great atheletes and fun to watch. Also the EMT truck is nearby in case of possible injuries or if need medical attention.

Oakand Cemetery, hands down. Sweet tea, finger sandwiches, cheese straws, fruit, cookies. Then take a walk.

The rock in the parking lot on the carving side & Lake Lanier.. Either place is very nice.. Amicolola Falls is very nice too. The falling water & tree cover subtracts 5 – 10 degrees of heat in the summer.

Way to go Bamster!! It is safe to say that it's a great idea to carry your 9mm anywhere in AND close to downtown ATL. In some areas (East Pt, College Park, GA Dome area, Vine City, Turner Field,) you need a shotgun.
July 12th, 2011

@ Steve, & CC. You guys will change your mind once you get robbed. Obviously, this is yet to come. Looks like you live on another planet, not in ATL.

I guess it must be really hard for some to stay on the topic. Piedmont Park, Helen, Pine Mountain and Zoo Atlanta are some of my favorites for a picnic.

Off topic . . .for those who watch the news and then past judgement on 100 miles of city, thanks for no longer coming inside 285. Please stay out in your Brady Bunch suburb with your meth labs, peroxide, and domestic violence. We urbanites who live in town understand that the media doesn't show good stories because good stories are not news. However we also know that for every bad news story there are 10 great ones and we take full advantage of our city instead of cowarding in a closet with a shotgun. We know how to be safe, take advantage of the parks, restaurants, bars, entertainment, cooking/pottery classes, bike clubs and boot camps, dog parks and festivals available in Atlanta because we have the mature understanding that life does not revolve around what the TV said. The news is ONE reality. If you take off your sheets, you'll actually learn about the REST if the world outside of your trailer park.

for those who live in fear even a picnic inside of Fort Knox wouldnt be safe enough for you….Stop patting yourselves on the back for buying 5 guns that are more likely to be used to harm your spouse, children, or yourselves instead of this "thug" element you fantasize about.
Thanks for the tips everyone…im planning a picnic based on your feedback.

Too bad the whiny, paranoid OTP people have to whine their political drivel on every forum. I second the nomination of Oakland Cemetary, it is a wonderful venue for a picnic. There are also many small parks around the city, several in the midtown area (Ansley, McClatchey, etc.). These little gems are wonderful retreats.
July 12th, 2011

Piedmont Park!
(and I'm a white middle-aged woman who is in Piedmont Park day & night…have never had any issues…over multiple years…and the park is full of great folks…not sure where you guys picked up your misconceptions.)

Oakland Cemetary is a beautiful place for a picnic!
July 12th, 2011

For those who mentioned Oakland Cemetary….is there a part where bodies arent buried to picnic? Seems theoretically creepy, but i heard the views are fantastic
July 12th, 2011

Bamster – Yeah, stay where you are; daytime ATL already has enough white trash to fill every dumpster between here and Delaware.

I have a great back yard…….I load up the SUV and drive around to the back of the house…..too far to walk..lol……the corp parks on lake lanier…..have a great picnic then camp for the eve or maybe 2……Grew up in Stone Mtn and still a great place to visit even with the Dollywood upgrades….lots of shady places…..and don't start in about the shady people in the shady places…..folks of all shades welcome….dang I'm funny sometimes………

When is the AJC going to crack down on these people "commenting" on these questions/articles. It's obvious there are losers sitting around all day just chomping at the bit waiting for these questions so they can find new and creative ways to offend and insult others. Please if you don't care to come inside of the Perimeter stay far far away. Some people actually prefer to mingle with intelligent and open-minded people–so if you don't fit into this catagory do the rest of us a favor and keep hiding under your rock
July 12th, 2011
11:57 am
@grow up
If you ever stepped outside the perimeter, you would know we enjoy and take advantage of the very same things here. Its not the sticks anymore…it might amaze you to see all there is to do around here. I come down and patronize Atlanta a lot though, so thank me for the revenue please.
I find it funny that you past (sic) judgement on the suburbs in the same breath that you complained about people passing judgement on the city dwellers.
July 12th, 2011
12:01 pm
Grow up. You grow up.
July 12th, 2011
12:01 pm
Anywhere on the back side of Stone Mountain Park (the side opposite the carving) because we leave the front alone for the tourists. Alexander Lake. Avondale Lake. Really…anywhere without a television works nicely.
July 12th, 2011
12:10 pm
too many to list; depends on what kind of picnic, time of year, day, and atmosphere.
Rainy day picnics: on the living room floor, screened in porch, picnic shelter, in a tent anywhere
Romantic: roof tops, balconies, porches, decks, by any water-creeks, ponds, river, lake, beach anywhere you can utilize candlelight or fire light etc….endless possibilities
Family: any state or local park some tried and true for us: Stone Mountain-so many nooks and crannies and out in the open places, Amicolola-especially fall, Tallulah Gorge area, Red Top Mountain—so many places, East Cobb Park, Roswell Park, Roswell Mill, Chattahoochee River, Lake Allatoona, Lake Hartwell, Lake Ocoee, War Woman Dell in Rabun….several places around Rabun plus horse backriding and other things to do as is near Amicolola, driving the backroads there are frequently little historical markers here and there and we stop to read and see what it is and many times are rewarded with a view and perfect spot to eat, etc etc.
There are places that were really good but it was just a spot we picked and picnicked and can't say where exactly but most in places named above.
I LOVE this idea to share places!
July 12th, 2011
12:13 pm
Piedmont Park is a great place to have a picnic. I moved from the suburbs to the city of Atlanta 3 years ago and absolutely LOVE it!! I live, work and play all within walking distance of my home and life is super fantastic!!!
July 12th, 2011
12:13 pm
@ Grow up: Bravo!!!! Well said! I get so sick of folks bashing our city! Guess what? Crime is everywhere!!! You are NOT protected because you live in a gated community OTP. What you are really doing is spewing you, hardly disguised racism on this board. We see you for what you REALLY are — and we hear what you are REALLY saying.
July 12th, 2011
12:14 pm
i was attacked randomly – not mugged, just verbally threatened and grabbed being told that i would be raped – in lawrenceville once. by a non minority, i might add, because i know some of you would speculate. so i don't think i'll ever go picnicking there again.
July 12th, 2011
12:21 pm
Thanks @growup! I walk to Piedmont Park everyday and sometimes carry a picnic, but my favorite picnic spot intown is Oakland Cemetery. So lovely and peaceful. There are many other wonderful, small parks around, but I will not mention them for fear that the likes of @Bamster will invade them as so many OTPers overrun our parks every weekend since they have not saved any land for public parks in their suburban quest for "getting more for their money" and low taxes…. OTP practices of not investing in the community results in these people coming into the city in droves to enjoy what we pay for – and bring their un-sterilized, viscous dogs to poop all over our dogpark! Bunch of crybabies.
July 12th, 2011
12:59 pm
@bamster. Was it your intention to use poor grammar? Furthermore, for all who criticize Atlanta. Indeed crime happens everywhere. We all have to be aware of our surrondings.
July 12th, 2011
1:03 pm
@joe I am would like to believe that CC is not attacking the family personally, just pointing out that crime can and does happen everywhere. However,it is indeed a fact that it occures more in cities that are largely populated. No rocket science there!
July 12th, 2011
1:16 pm
Now, back on topic.Lake Oconee. It is kind of a long drive,about 45 minutes to an hour, east of Atlanta. If you have the time to get away, get started early, you will definetly enjoy picnicing right in front of the lake.
July 12th, 2011
2:23 pm
Wow, lots of irrational folks posting about picnics of all things. I for one live OTP because it is significantly cheaper. However, I love to visit ITP multiple times each week to spend all that money I save in the wonderful restaurants, shops, and museums. The best thing about Atlanta is the diversity and I for one love it. However, to simply dismiss the potential crime risk in the City is really a head in the sand approach to life.

Bike Lanes Installed in Old Louisville, SoBro, J-Town
Wednesday October 17, 2007
New dedicated bike lanes have been installed on 2nd St. in Old Louisville and SoBro and on Taylorsville Rd. in Jeffersontown. The lanes were installed as part of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet resurfacing projects with design and installation performed by Louisville Metro Public Works.
Both projects advance the city's progress towards completing its top-three "High Priority Corridors:" the 3rd St./New Cut Rd. corridor, Taylorsville Rd., and River Rd.
The 2nd St. lanes run northbound from Oak St. to just south of Broadway, providing a portion of the northbound counterpart to the southbound bike lanes on 3rd St. Plans are underway to complete the northbound connection between U of L and Downtown with bike lanes on Brook St.
Bike Lanes on Taylorsville Rd. run from just southeast of Hurstbourne Parkway to Patti Ln., just northwest of the railroad overpass. From the overpass to Ruckreigel Parkway there are wide curb-lane facilities (15'+ righthand lanes) to allow motorists to pass cyclists without changing lanes.
These lanes could become dedicated bike lanes in the future with a design exception from KYTC (allowing the travel lane to be marked at 10', leaving the extra 5' for a dedicated bike lane) and the replacement of the outdated drainage grates in the area which presently present a hazard to cyclists. Alternatively, the wide curb-lanes could be marked with shared-lane markings or "Sharrows," which would also require the approval of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Louisville Metro will continue to work in partnership with KYTC to install bike lanes during routine resurfacing projects whenever they would be feasible and beneficial. A new $100,400 grant from KYTC will help fund the installation of bike lanes, shared-lane markings, and bikeways signage, including markings in thermoplastic instead of paint - a more expensive material, but one which will last up to ten times longer.
Also, in keeping with existing practice and the proposed Complete Streets Policy, Louisville Metro will continue to include bicycle and pedestrian facilities in all new and major reconstruction road projects. KYTC's Bicycle & Pedestrian Accomodation Policy states that KYTC will consider such accomodations in all new roadway projects.

The 49ers defense is a lot more than Smith -- the Ravens actually have two Smiths to watch out for -- but Aldon Smith accounted for just over half of their 38 sacks during the regular season, which was tied for 11th in the NFL. Defensive end Justin Smith's production is down -- blame it on a torn triceps that could have ended his season -- but when healthy, he is capable of being a game-wrecker, too. He often lines up next to Aldon Smith, giving the 49ers an inside-outside pass-rushing duo that rivals Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs.
Still, the X-factor for the 49ers defense is Aldon Smith, who is a 6-foot-4, 258-pound freak of an athlete. He has the speed to beat blockers off the edge, and his bull-rush move is formidable.

In their 3-4 base defense, he stands up as a linebacker. But when they go with their nickel packages, the 49ers will use a four-man front with Smith lining up as a defensive end. They don't need to blitz very often, as 34 of his 35.5 career sacks came when part of a four-or-fewer man pass rush, according to ESPN stats and Info.
"The Ravens offensive line has played very well through the playoffs. I'm not overly concerned," Jaworski said when asked if their offensive tackles could handle Smith in the Super Bowl. "But I always think it's good to have a plan, that if he is getting quick pressure, that you have a tight end or a back in to help [McKinnie]."
According to Jaworski, the Falcons shifted their line protection to Smith's side, with their left tackle, left guard and center zone-blocking to wall off the left side of the line. "It was a pretty effective way to negate those stunts between Justin Smith and Aldon Smith," he added. The right guard and right tackle handled the other side, often getting help from a back or a tight end to chip Ahmad Brooks, the outside linebacker opposite Aldon Smith. "I thought it was a pretty good plan," Jaworski said. And it was. Matt Ryan was sacked just once.
The Ravens must come up with a similar plan to take care of Smith, said Greg Cosell of NFL Films, who doesn't believe that McKinnie -- who was beaten for a sack and allowed four other pressures in the AFC championship game, per Pro Football Focus -- can be left alone to block Smith 1-on-1 when Flacco takes deep drops.
He seemed to think that what the Falcons did -- sliding three men toward Smith -- might be the best approach.
"If you slide your line to Smith and you chip Brooks, you're not losing any eligible receivers in your pass game because the chipper then goes right out into a route," Cosell said. "I think that's critical to have five guys [running] routes. There are many tactical ways to do it, in my opinion, but you don't want to do is create a situation where you're asking Bryant McKinnie to block him one-on-one on deep drops."
Because all it takes is one blown block and one big sack for Smith and the 49ers to wreck the best-laid plans.


text: This is the second year we have produced this wine and we become more enthusiastic as we watch this vineyard develop. It is made in a serious style to allow the attributes of this intense site for Sauvginon Blanc to be expressed. Aromas of fresh spring flowers jump from the glass, highlighted by notes of ripe nectarine, lime zest, and subtle flinty minerality. This wine is incredibly fresh and lively on the palate, with a textured and developed mouth feel that far exceeds expectations. A Sauvignon Blanc worthy of the Cinghiale reputation.

Hello, I bought Sketchbook Pro 6 a few weeks ago (download from the online store) and have been using it with Windows VISTA. I have just bought Windows 8 but haven't loaded it in yet. I understand that Sketchbook Pro 6 may not be compatible with Windows 8, or that I may need to reload Sketchbook 8 after I install Windows 8). I would need help with this. I haven't taken Windows 8 out of the box yet, so I could return it if it simply won't work with Sketchbook (which I use a lot), and go buy Windows 7. Please advise.
no autodesk products are supported on windows 8 yet
it doesn't mean it won't work it just autodesk did not test it on windows 8 so you may run into unforeseen problems
I had sketchbook pro 6 and installed it onto my new computer with windows 8, and the tablet I have works just fine elsewhere, but sketchbook isn't acting pressure sensitive. Sketchbook always acts like I'm using heavy pressure, even when I'm not. I've played with all the setting with the tablet (Monoprice) and Sketchbook, but it just won't work. It worked on my old computer with windows 7 though...
Is there any chance that Sketchbook pro will have the time lapse recording for Windows 8 or Surface? as it is available with iPad?
I'm also having this problem with Express. Did you figure out a solution?

PsyScope X and RB-730
June 1st, 2009, 07:17 AM
Does anyone know if the RB - 730 works with the open source software PsyScope X, I keep getting an error USBButton box is not initialized.
June 1st, 2009, 12:50 PM
PsyScope X does not have built-in support for the response boxes. If you know how to use PsyScript, you can program it on your own.
January 4th, 2010, 10:21 AM
I asked the Psyscope X developers if they were likely to be integrating the Cedrus response-box in their code and they said that they had no plans to do so, but if Cedrus wanted to work with them to generate the code, they would be interested. Maybe Cedrus could collaborate with PsyscopeX to generate the code and so make their product available to a wider market (I, for one, would buy a Cedrus if I could get it to work with Psyscope).
January 4th, 2010, 04:23 PM
All the information needed to program for the response pads is described at cedrus.com/xid (http://www.cedrus.com/xid/). We'll be happy to assist the Psyscope X developers if they run into any problems. Mac USB drivers are readily available.
Mark: I received your voicemail but you didn't leave a return phone number. Feel free to call again or follow up with more questions on these forums.
January 4th, 2010, 06:53 PM
Thanks for the quick response. I've passed along the information to the Psyscope X developers. Hopefully, they will be able to integrate the button-box (but not being a programmer, I have no idea how big a project that is).
Thanks very much!

I know nobody cares, but I just want to put it out there. Remember that one time when Brandon Davis made fun of Lindsay Lohan for being worth only about $7 million while Paris Hilton laughed in the background? And remember Brandon is friends with Paris? (They are, they were just at dinner together the other day, according to my feed reader.) And remember when Paris found out she's only going to inherit $5 million instead of $100 million?
Time to do more work, working girl.

Do Whooping Cough Vaccines Work?
Or could they be the root of the problem?
The Rise of Whooping Cough
Yo, whooping cough, what's up? You've got the wrong season, my friend. It's still nowhere near the start of what most moms and dads consider the sick season, but already health officials are warning that we're in the midst of the worst outbreak of whooping cough in more than five decades. *Sigh* Who—or what—is to blame? We asked two pediatricians to explain why pertussis (aka whooping cough), once thought to be an illness of the past, is suddenly back with a vengeance.
"My phones have been ringing off the hook from parents wanting to know about whooping cough and the vaccine," Westlake, California, pediatrician Tanya Remer Altmann, MD, tells BabyZone. And they have good reason to ask. According to statistics released in late July by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 18,000 cases of pertussis have been reported so far in 2012—more than twice the number seen at this point last year. Yes, you heard us: twice. Washington and Wisconsin have reported more than 3,000 cases each, and higher than normal rates have been seen in other states, including New York, Minnesota, and Arizona. At this pace, say CDC officials, the number of pertussis cases in 2012 will be the highest since 1959, when 40,000 illnesses were reported.
Definition, Please
So what exactly is whooping cough? It's not as charming as the name may lead you to believe. (No, you may not get a "whoop, whoop.") Whooping cough is a highly contagious infectious disease that can strike people of any age, but is most dangerous to very young children who are not yet fully immunized; the name comes from the whooping sound made when coughing. "These spells can last for weeks and the cough can be so bad that it is hard for infants to eat, drink, or breathe," explains Dr. Altmann.
How Vaccines Come Into Play
So why are rates rising? Does it have anything to do with parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids? Probably not, says the CDC, pointing out that overall vaccination rates for young children are still good—about 84 percent of 3-year-olds have gotten the recommended number of shots. It is true that Washington, one of the states currently experiencing an outbreak, has one of the highest exemption rates for vaccines in the nation, the Wall Street Journal reports. But the CDC maintains that un-vaxed kids don't appear to be a major factor in the outbreak, since most of the youngsters getting sick have been vaccinated.
Then just what is to blame? It could be the vaccine itself. According to the CDC, the pertussis vaccine given to young children for decades was replaced in the late 1990s following concerns about rashes, fevers, and other side effects. While the new version is considered safer, there is some evidence that the current pertussis vaccine (acellular pertussis) may not be as effective at preventing whooping cough in children.
Anish Goyal, MD, a pediatrician based in Hawaii, thinks it's impossible at this stage to pinpoint a definite cause. "It's too early to tell. It could be a problem with the current vaccine, a mutation in the pertussis bacteria itself [making it more resistant to current vaccines] or a greater awareness of the illness, which may have resulted in more frequent testing, detection and reporting of pertussis infections," Dr. Goyal tells BabyZone.
What You Can Do
Dr. Altmann recommends the best thing parents can do right now is to keep calm—and keep vaccinations current, even for adults and teens in the family. "Many hospitals are now giving the TdaP vaccine to women after they deliver so a mom doesn't catch the disease and pass it to her newborn before their baby can be vaccinated," adding that "because immunity to whooping cough can wear off over time, the TdaP vaccine is given at age 11 and every 10 years after. New parents, grandparents, and anyone who cares for a newborn should also receive the vaccine since often it is parents or other caregivers who unknowingly pass whooping cough to a newborn."
How to Treat It
Pertussis, when caught in its early stages, can be treated with antibiotics. What should you be on the look out for? Whooping cough typically starts with run of the mill cold symptoms, like runny nose, congestion, fever and a mild cough. But, after 1-2 weeks of these symptoms, severe coughing can begin and continue for weeks. The CDC advises parents to see a doctor if they or their children develop a prolonged or severe cough.
Scary? Yes. But one thing we can all do right now to keep kids a little safer?
"Practice good hand washing hygiene," recommends Dr. Goyal.
We've already soaped up—have you?
Are cases of pertussis on the rise in your area? What are you doing to take precaution?

Among the products where you're better off with generic: baby formula, bleach and gasoline.
This guest post comes from Kate Forgach at the Go Frugal Blog.
Where do you stand in the generic vs. name-brand products debate? Do you proudly flaunt your thrifty buys or stealthily slip your generic purchases under oversized toilet paper packages?
Is your selection a reflection of your personal tastes or simply a matter of money?
The main reason for buying generic products is simple enough: You're a thrifty consumer. But there's something to be said for turning your nose up at marketing manipulation by major manufacturers.
You can overcome the fear that you'll make a mistake that will cost thousands of dollars to fix.
This post comes from Elizabeth Sanberg at partner blog Wise Bread.
Just over a year ago my spouse and I bought our first home -- a foreclosure. A lot of repairs needed to be made -- an asbestos abatement to remove the original 1925 "octopus" furnace, refinishing hardwood floors, fixing locks, replacing electric outlets, and painting.
We hired professionals for the major projects -- furnace replacement, plumbing updates, and hardwood floor refinishing. And the easiest issues we fixed ourselves.
But there were a lot of more difficult, but not impossible, projects that needed to be done.
Under a formula in place since the 1970s, Social Security recipients likely won't get an increase for the second straight year. Is that fair?
For the second year in a row, it looks as if Social Security recipients won't get a cost-of-living raise next year.
"How can that be?" you're probably wondering. Answer: The cost of living hasn't gone up -- enough.
Whether seniors can expect an increase will be announced later this week, but numerous reports say the monthly benefits will remain where they are for 2011. The same occurred for 2010. (The Social Security trustees predicted this in 2009, so it should not be surprising.)
How can this be? A year without an increase, let alone two in a row, hasn't happened in at least 30 years.
McDonald's in Hong Kong responds to demand and will offer weddings, complete with balloon dresses and apple pie cakes.
Here's a frugal wedding reception idea we hadn't considered: Several McDonald's restaurants in Hong Kong will start offering wedding packages next year, providing a baked apple pie wedding cake, balloon dress, party favors and food for the equivalent of a few hundred dollars.
"It's unlikely that the couple will be able to book the entire restaurant for their wedding, but at that price, who cares if there are babies screaming in the booth next door?" CNN Go's Tiffany Lam wrote.
Retailers are rolling out discounts early. Let the holiday shopping season begin.
This post comes from Melinda Fulmer of MSN Money.
Retail giant Wal-Mart has fired its first shot in the holiday toy wars, dropping prices on everything from a Nerf dart gun to a poochie potty-training Barbie.
With budgets tight, analysts expect many retailers to start cutting prices ahead of the usual Black Friday shopping kickoff, so families can spread out their holiday spending.
But, says Jim Silver, editor of TimetoPlayMag.com, they won't necessarily be slashing prices on all of the hottest toys.
Her great-grandfather may have founded the company, but she still can't get any help from AT&T's customer service. Sound familiar?
Updated 11:55 a.m. ET Oct 13.
Here's what customer service has come to: Even a descendent of Alexander Graham Bell can't get AT&T to fix her phone.
Helene Pancoast, a 72-year-old Miami artist who is a great-granddaughter of AT&T founder Alexander Graham Bell, lost her phone service three weeks ago. She has been stuck in bureaucratic limbo ever since.
UPDATE: After her story appeared in The Miami Herald and on MSN, Pancoast heard from AT&T, and her phone service was restored Wednesday morning. Since then, she has been receiving calls from friends she hadn't heard from in years.
People with a wedding or a baby on the way can profit handsomely when well-wishers buy gifts.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Milestones such as getting married or having a baby aren't cheap. Of course, gifts help -- and more than ever, now that a growing number of retailers are offering registrants a kickback.
This month, Babies R Us became the latest to launch a registry rewards program, joining a number of retailers -- including Macy's, Bon-Ton, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond -- that give a rebate or discount back to the registrants.
Scammers are using Facebook to target your friends and their money.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
As more and more people use Facebook and other social networks, the probability that someone you know will be ensnared by a phishing e-mail grows.
Phishing, as it applies in this case, is when someone tries to steal your login credentials by sending you an e-mail that looks like it's from the network itself. The e-mail will look as if it came from Facebook, but the links inside will go to another site that looks like Facebook, where you'll unwittingly log in and give up your credentials.
This scam works because while people are usually on guard when they get e-mails that appear to be from their bank -- though phishing for bank credentials still works more often than it should -- they aren't as aware when they get an e-mail that appears to be from Twitter or Facebook. ("Oh, Jim sent me a shotgun in Mafia Wars. Must log in to see!")
The only positive in getting your Facebook account phished is that you don't lose any financial information directly. That's why scammers have turned to the "mugged abroad" scam.

How can I ask a personal question about a wedding/
Hi. My husband and I we are invited to my cousin wedding this June. Our son, who is 20 years old is not invited. We do not want to accept the invitation based on the fact that our son who is an adult and he is not invited. It is going to be a 200 guest wedding. If the bride ask me my reason for not going, I am not sure what to say. Any ideas?
Why exactly do you think your son should have been invited? Children of invitees are not required to be invited, adult or not. You seem to be implying that they should have invited him because they are inviting 200 people and one more won't be an imposition. 1) One more may very well be an imposition as the location will have a limit on the number of people allowed. 2) If all of the children, even just the adult children, of their 200 guests were invited, that woukd add up quickly.
You can decline the invitation for any reason, but why do you need to give a reason? Send in your response that you won't be attending and leave it at that. If the bride follows up and asks why (which I seriously doubt will happen), say "we have other plans." Your other plans could be staying home and watching TV.
