MSI engineers have found stimulation in the briny depths for its latest graphics card innovation: a cooling fan with vanes modeled on seaweed.

A smooth, well-formed, streamlined airflow for all 10 minutes until the frond formed blades get dust bunnies trailing from the edges, and all those nice laminar flowlines get past the Reynaulds number and bingo, back to turbulence....
Not the lethal type then?
Fantastic use of the word "throbbing".
That is all.
far be it for me to knock technical innovation here, but surely the fan is only going to belt out hot air towards the next card plugged into the available slots.
Had this fan been used to ensure hot air is exited from a system, then perhaps bravo, but surely the fact that it spews hot air more efficiently inside and around the case isnt the greatest use of this technology?
If your exit fans are not pumping out the hot air as quick as its being circulated by the refined gpu fans, then the object is defeated.
But why not just use an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1, which doesnt need a fan?
At least not in my case, where it keeps an 8800GT @ 700/1000 under 50 degrees on load.
Was half-expecting a long, cylindrical type cooler when I first saw the headline ;-)
I think you'll find the fan sucks air from inside the case, blows it across the heatsinks & it is vented through those slots you can see on the connector plate. Sucking air across coolers isn't very efficient for mass flow or heat transfer, much better to blow...
I was hoping to find out about some kind of new strange underwater "weed" instead it's just talking about kelp.
mine's the one dripping salt water.
I've frequently been inspired by weed - not seaweed, though.
Mine's the one with the pockets full of munchies...
And here I was hoping that the fan had 5 fins and was out of balance :)
/mines the 6ft one parked on FDR drive
"can you smoke kelp?" .... Bounty • Wednesday 14th May 2008 17:31 GMT
The short answer is "Of course" but whether it does anything for you is as yet unknown?
My pleasure; don't mention it.
I'll write it out 20x for homework... :)
In my defence though, physics A level was 26 years ago, so my memory is a little, erm, turbid...
Shurly you don't mean "clear as mud", given the slant of the article !!
... and bobs your uncle!
Considering this MSI card takes up 2 slots, you might as well go with the Gigabyte GV-NX96T1GHP - No fan and guarenteed zero noise! Put it in SLI no need to overclock and the results are shockingly good!
Seaweed, whatever next!

900 Series
900 Series: Bulldozer Ready
The rumor on the street is that Asus makes a few motherboards. They may or may not be the world's leading motherboard manufacturer. Asus may also have a pretty good reputation for quality and innovation in their products. It is tongue in cheek hour at PC Perspective. All joking aside, Asus anymore is the gold standard for quality manufacturing and design in motherboards.
Some months ago AMD released their AM3+ capable chipsets, though the release was not nearly as exciting as we had hoped. The AMD 900 series of chipsets are essentially the same silicon as those that power the non-integrated AMD 800 series. There are three SKUs that are currently available for the 900 series that Asus makes motherboards around.

In February of 2011 I began this little anonymous blog, as a way to vent and tell stories of my experience as a mother.
I have so loved having you all read, comment, laugh and commiserate. I look forward to much more blogging in 2012 and thank you all for your support!!
2011 was a good year for me. I finally started to feel like I could think about doing something for myself – something besides wiping a butt or emptying a dishwasher. (Like start a blog!!)
If I had to pick one word for 2011 it would be "blog," because in the beginning of the year I didn't even really know what a blog was, and now I have my mom blog and I also have a beauty blog, and blogging has become a huge part of my life!
If I had to pick one word for 2012 it will be "Tweet." From what I understand this is something I am supposed to be doing already, but as usual I am behind the eight-ball with technology – so I am going to figure it out and become a tweet-aholic.
Today I want to just review the year for those of you who might have missed some important stories….with the
TOP TEN THINGS I LEARNED THIS YEAR…..(and one for good luck)
#1 – In February I started this blog and learned about other cultures at a Chinese child's birthday party. This is where I was told to take off my shoes and wear the mother's filthy slippers throughout the party.
#2 – In March, I came to the realization that my neighbor "Fran Drescher" is an utterly repulsive idiot. I am so thankful that she moved across the country so I no longer have to be subjected to her filth or her children's theater productions.
#3 – In April, I was an idiot and drove 19 hours in the car to Georgia, I learned that this is not necessarily a good idea. As if it's not bad enough being stuck in a vehicle for long periods of time, I definitely learned that when one gets out of the car for short breaks, the Cracker Barrel is not the place to go.
#4 – In May, in honor of Mother's Day I reviewed the ways "This is not my mother's motherhood." Most of this list revolves around the fact that modern-day motherhood is wretched and torturous and my mother enjoyed leisure time watching the Days of Our Lives program and smoking cigarettes.
#5 – In June, school ended so I no longer had to look at or listen to Steven Keaton at the bus stop, and I figured out a way for my son to get the final revenge of the school year. This school – year I learned that I must wear sunglasses rain or shine to avoid eye contact with any and all humans at said bus stop.
#6 – In July, I learned that Bingo is very annoying, I will never win and it is not good for my mental health. If I continue to attend the yearly beach bingo I could possibly flip tables like Theresa Guidice.
#7 – In August, I learned that too much sun coupled with late nights spent watching Spongebob while his mother drinks wine, can actually turn a 5-year-old into the devil. I got a lot of comments on this one – I think you all could relate to this story – especially when everyone on the beach clapped when we left….
#8 – In September, I was provoked by a moron in my "Moms Club" who decided to tell her 2-year-old there's no such thing as Santa. I learned that there is a level of horrible parenting that I was not aware of – Oooohh how I hate that woman and her husband. In 2012 – stay tuned for more idiotic requests and questions from people who apparently can't solve simple matters without sending out a mass email to 800 mothers.
#9 – In October, I escaped from
Hell on Earth Connecticut and I learned it is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. Although we had a great trip – it did take us until about Halloween to recover from the trip – and that was about the time that we had a storm that destroyed Connecticut life as we knew it.
#10 – In November, my hair turned into a Brillo pad and I learned how to survive without power for 10 days!!!!! It took us until last week to recover from this fucking piece of shit storm and the piece of shit utilities company that we have here in lovely Connecticut.
#11 – In December, I learned that some people in this household do not value Christmas traditions and schedules as much as I do…..and Mr. Gaga asked that I also say I learned that he is funnier than me……(which of course is not true.)
Happy New Year!! Please start off the new year in a positive direction and vote for me was one of the Top Mommy Blogs!! XOXOXO LADY GOO GOO GAGA
Linking to pour your heart out!!

Consequence is an arpeggiator, which creates a sequence of notes based on the chords that you provide. Up to 3 instruments can be loaded up, and a vast number of sequencing options can be used to control the way that the plug-in "interprets" your input.
The chord sequencer is the centrepiece of the creative flow. It's basically choosing from a palette of 16 chord "snapshots" you define in the Chord memory section at the bottom. There are actually 5 sequencers controlling different aspects of the groove you're creating. The Modulation section is especially deep, offering separate patterns for each of the synth parts, the filter and the effects.
The sample-based sound library contains all kinds of instruments – from powerful analogue synths to subtle violins, each offering Octave, Pan, Level and Crush controls. You can choose a trigger mode for each instrument independently, so it becomes possible to create more complex sequences by having some instruments triggered as chords and others as arps.
Consequence allows for detailed definition of all the sonic aspects on a step-by-step basis: "Arp" or "Chord", "Octave" or "Tie". With detailed control over the Arp-direction, you can create melodies with a narrow focus.
Like the rhythm of one preset, but the sound set from another? No problem! No matter how you save your presets, sequences and sounds can be switched out independently to give you other options to expand your presets further.
Consequence's sound library not only includes sounds of the most sought-after synths like the Memorymoog or the OP-1, there's also plenty of strings and percussion. String passages are crafted fast and impressive. By combining the 3 instruments, it's easy to create interlaced rhythms with the oddest sounds.
Besides an ADSR, each instrument holds an "Age" and "Crush" control: With these two, say good bye to "Samples always sound so sterile!"

Consequence is not limited to the internal sound library: if you wanna combine with other generators, it is possible to use the MIDI out to trigger hardware or software synths, which opens up a lot of possibilities. There's also the MIDI Export: just drag and drop to your host or save as a file.
The final stage of the Consequence sound section is the master section which offers tuning features, a fine master compressor and a kickdrum which plays a 4/4 rhythm. The kickdrum is a friendly helper to keep the groove while you are creating sequences, also it can be sent to the compressor explusively to glue the mix together or let the level drop at each quarter note.
Four classics by Brian Smith.
The instruments work with a sampling library which has been created exclusively for Consequence. 237 sounds, recorded from first class natural instruments and synthesizers, are currently available.

Stabilizing the blood
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2013 5:45 pm
Usually my heart works fine, but if I don't get a full night's sleep the next day I feel my blood pressure changing in regions of my body in an irregular and unpleasant way. What it feels like is happening is the pressure in parts of the body is fine but in the chest and stomach regions the pressure will drop, recover, drop, and recover. My occupation sometimes requires all night work and even when it does not, staying up late is sometimes necessary to keep my house and paper work in order. I've had some success focusing on the earth property in the body. I do drink an unreasonable amount of caffeine, but I am unwilling to give that up.
Besides getting a full night's sleep, any ideas on stabilizing the blood?

Skip to comments.Gadget can diagnose prostate cancer in 30 minutes
Posted on 09/27/2009 3:32:59 PM PDT by Nachum
Toronto researchers have developed a portable device they say will accurately diagnose prostate cancer in 30 minutes.
The microchip technology, created by a pair of University of Toronto scientists, will be able to determine the severity of the tumours through a simple urine sample and produce quick diagnosis with no need for painful biopsies.
(Excerpt) Read more at thestar.com ...
Well, it sure beats the taking of a dozen or so samples of the prostate for biopsy.
Well there goes yer part time income
Doctor Barney Frank of Massachusetts claims to be able to diagnose prostate cancer in 30 seconds. He is seen here prepping a patient for the procedure.
Painful biopsy!!! is correct. When I was Dx'd with PCa a couple of years ago, it was after a procedure that I will explain if anyone is interested. Butt, I bet you can guess most of it...OUCH!
I would love to see more trials on, as that I lost my Grand Father to this & GOD forbid that this could be genitic as well.
The doctor's "gadget" attempts to diagnose it in seconds - that seem like hours ... where does the gadget in this report have to live for those 30 minutes, he said with a clenched, er, ah, fist - yeah, that's it, fist. No, wait ... oh, nevermind.
Just had a good friend go through the biopsy. They don't take one tissue sample, they take ten. I'll go with the gadget, thanks.
Damn and I was about to get the left shoe out of layaway.......
It probably is not hereditary, but if a man lives long enough he will have prostate cancer.
I just don't want to run the risk. I have a lot of medical problems as it is!
"Just had a good friend go through the biopsy. They dont take one tissue sample, they take ten. Ill go with the gadget, thanks."
Twelve, actually. And it hurts to sit for a month. OTOH, I'm not going to die of prostate cancer.
An that big class ring !
And knowing Canada care and Obamacare, there will be a 2-3 year wait for your turn to be diagnosed by this device.
The first ten are okay, but those last two... YOWWW!
Well, there's a difference among doctors regarding number of samples, so it could be 10 or 12, or more. There's usually a little recovery time, but if it hurt to sit for a MONTH, I'd pay more attention to hand size in choosing a urologist next time.
You are so correct. Damn, that was the longest counting to 12 I ever had in my life! I wouldn't wish that little procedure on anybody.
Mine was thirteen. and I had no pain afterwards.
sounds better than my urologist's gloved digit squeezing out that slide sample
damn it does hurt....I cannot figure why queers would ever like that
yep..kids ..smears for a PSA looksee are something you have to look forward to after 50 on an annual basis

The use of indexes can enhance performance by reducing the time taken to perform a search. However, indexes also have an associated cost. When an entry is updated, the indexes referring to that entry must also be updated. The more an entry is indexed, the more resources are required to update the index; indexes take up disk space and memory space.
When you design indexes, ensure that you offset the benefit of faster searches against the associated costs of the index. Maintaining useful indexes is good practice; maintaining unused indexes for attributes on which clients rarely search is wasteful.
You can optimize performance of searches in the following ways:
By preventing Directory Server from performing searches on non-indexed entries
By limiting the length of an index list
By ensuring that the size of a data base cache is appropriately tuned
To prevent Directory Server from performing searches on non-indexed entries, set the require-index-enabled suffix property for the suffix.
To limit the number of values per index key for a given search you can set an index list threshold. If the number of entries in the list for a search key exceeds the index list threshold, an unindexed search is performed. The threshold can be set for an entire server instance, for an entire suffix, and for an individual attribute type. You can also set individual thresholds for equality, presence, and substring indexes.
For a detailed procedure on how to change the index list threshold, seeChanging the Index List Threshold in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition. This procedure modifies the all-ids-threshold configuration property.
The global value of all-ids-threshold for the server instance should be about 5% of the total number of entries in the directory. For example, the default value of 4000 is generally right for instances of Directory Server that handle 80 000 entries or less. You should avoid setting the threshold above 50 000, even for very large deployments. However, you might set all-ids-threshold to a value other than the 5% guideline in the following situations:
You expect the directory to grow considerably and wish to set the threshold higher than 5 percent of the total.
You have consumers that support many searches and masters that support mostly writes, and you wish to set a different threshold for consumers and masters.
You plan to initialize a large directory from an LDIF file and you wish to change the threshold just before initialization.
Your directory has a deeply hierarchical directory information tree, and you are running one–level or subtree searches. In this case you could set the all-ids-threshold high for parent and ancestor indexes so that all entries below a given branch are indexed.
You should limit the number of unindexed searches that are performed. Use the logconv utility provided with the Directory Server Resource Kit to examine the access logs for evidence of frequent unindexed searches. For more information, see the logconv(1) man page.

Idaho Dems Call to Defend the Initiative ProcessSubmitted by MeAndG on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 2:43pm.
Michelle Stennett
Idaho Democratic lawmakers are calling on all Idahoans to help stop Senate Bill 1108, which will weaken our constitutional right to petition our government.
S. 1108 comes just months after voters went to the polls and rejected the Luna Laws. This bill damages urban and rural areas alike by raising the bar to place initiatives or referenda on the ballot. Idaho voters need a voice. This tool allows voters to check legislative power. Idahoans have a history of using this power wisely. As Sen. Michelle Stennett said: "This bill is part of a troubling trend that makes it easier for lawmakers and government officials to ignore the will of the people."
Call, write, email, or visit your legislators and tell them you didn't send them to the Idaho Capitol to take your voice away!
Statement Regarding Voting Rights/Initiative Process Read at Feb. 20 Press Conference by Senate Minority Leader Michelle Stennett:
Idahoans only have a few ways to directly participate in the democratic process: testifying before committees, through an initiative or referendum, and by voting.
Idaho Democratic lawmakers are united in our strong opposition to any effort that will impede the People's constitutional right to directly petition their state government. We stand aligned with the people of Idaho in protecting our constitutional voting and initiative rights.
Today, we call on Idahoans of all political affiliations to speak out against Senate bill 1108.
This bill is part of a troubling trend that makes it easier for lawmakers and government officials to ignore the will of the people.
Right now, this trend is playing out in the Legislature in a variety of ways.
Idaho Democrats have introduced a slate of bills, the VOTE Initiative, seeking to modernize and make our voting system easier for Idahaons to access. Four of those bills have been dismissed by the majority. Only two of those bills remain alive: the Online Registration Act awaits a hearing and the Early Voting Opportunity Act is being modified to create an incentive for counties to set up additional early voting centers.
We introduced the VOTE Initiative bills because Idaho Democrats listened to voters. They asked us to make voting more convenient for people who have to work. A new generation of voters asked us to utilize modern tools and allow Idahoans to register to vote online or register at the same time they get their driver's licenses.
As you can see, those bills have received a chilly reception from the supermajority in the Legislature.
HB 176 would prevent Idahoans who are living overseas from voting in their local elections, unless they are servicemen and women. This bill discourages Idahoans from being active members of their communities and simply takes away their right to vote.
Last November, 370,000 Idahoans rejected the top-down education mandates commonly called the Luna Laws.
Idaho Democrats heard the message: Idahoans value their children's futures. Idahoans do not believe their children get a World Class education when teachers are silenced and bullied. Idaho parents want a voice in the policies that shape education—they don't want dictates from lawmakers.
Because we listen to voters, Idaho Democrats also endorsed Gov. Otter's wise decision to create an education task force to look at those failed laws and to give parents, students, educators and local people a say in how our children are educated.
Just a couple months after voters soundly rejected them, the Luna Laws are back as a series of bills that resurrect Proposition 1. This is the same legislative process that the People rejected in November.
Not only is this Legislature ignoring the People, but Senate Bill 1108 seeks to restrict the People's ability to reject bad legislation, such as the Luna Laws, and ensure that the majority Party need not face such a stunning rebuke of their process and policies in the future.
Idaho voters must be allowed to exercise their constitutional right to petition their government. They have every right to expect that their elected officials will listen to them or pay the price at the polls. They must have access to an initiative and referendum process that gives them a loud voice in the laws that they must live by.
Idaho Democrats will dedicate ours efforts to defeating these pieces of legislation and assure that the voice of the People is not stifled. But we cannot do this alone. We call on every citizen of our state to contact your legislators. Write letters, send emails, make phone calls, or come on over and meet with your legislators. Make your voice heard loud and clear. Tell your legislator that you do not want a handful of politicians to take away your rights to participate in the governance of our great state. Demand that they listen to you.
Idaho Democrats have heard you. We're working for you. And we're asking for your help to make sure your voice is not silenced.

HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased one this week to 1,768.
The Houston-based company said in its weekly report Friday that 1,361 rigs were exploring for oil and 401 for gas. Six were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,864 active rigs.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained 12 rigs, Pennsylvania gained three, Louisiana gained two and California and Wyoming each gained one.
Oklahoma lost six rigs, New Mexico lost four, Alaska lost two and Colorado lost one. Arkansas, Kansas, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.

STOCKTON - City leaders reported progress Tuesday resolving a dispute with a new state agency that they fear will disrupt Stockton's ability to grow as it sees fit.
STOCKTON - City leaders reported progress Tuesday resolving a dispute with a new state agency that they fear will disrupt Stockton's ability to grow as it sees fit.
The Delta Stewardship Council is tasked with writing a long-term plan governing the river estuary through the year 2100. While not yet final, the draft plan gives the council some authority over projects that could be proposed by a city or county - another layer of bureaucratic red tape, in critics' view.
City leaders have feared the new oversight would apply to development projects already approved within Stockton's sphere of influence and could jeopardize developers' ability to finance those projects.
New language in the seventh draft of the plan is an improvement, while still not as clear as it could be, consultant Mike Niblock told the City Council at a meeting Tuesday night.
"I don't believe they're going to be able to give us a blanket guarantee that they are not going to have something to say about projects that we're proposing in Stockton if, in fact, it might have some sort of effect on the Delta," Niblock said. "But getting greater clarity ... is something we should demand."
The city supported legislation by Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan, D-Alamo, to provide that clarity. But the legislation failed last summer.
The Delta council said at that time that several notable projects - such as Mountain House, Lathrop's River Islands and the Sanctuary development in Stockton west of Interstate 5 - would be exempt from the plan.
This was not, however, put in writing to Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston's satisfaction.
"My concern is, I don't believe it until I see it, and see it in writing that is very explicit," Johnston said Tuesday. "... Why should we trust them to make it right for those communities who have already done the planning?"
Half of Stockton is within the outer perimeter of the Delta, known as the secondary zone. That makes the city ground zero for implementation of the Delta Plan, the mayor said.
City Councilwoman Susan Eggman said she thinks the new draft language addresses the city's concerns.
Eggman said the larger issue will be the plan's water policies. The plan may ultimately include Gov. Jerry Brown's $14 billion twin tunnels proposal to bypass the Delta, another concern about which the City Council was briefed Tuesday.
As for the land-use issue, Dan Ray, chief deputy executive officer of the Delta council, told the City Council on Tuesday that the new plan will set up an efficient process that does not unnecessarily burden cities or counties.
"We're working really hard to find a middle ground," he said.

NEW YORK – Lenox Hill Hospital today announced the appointment of David B. Samadi, MD, as chair of urology at Lenox Hill Hospital. An internationally recognized leader in robotic prostate cancer treatment, Dr. Samadi joins Lenox Hill Hospital from Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he was vice chair of the Department of Urology and chief of robotics and minimally invasive surgery.
On July 1, Dr. Samadi and his staff of 20 are scheduled to open a new office at 485 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, which will be the home of Lenox Hill Hospital's new Prostate Cancer Center.
A resident of Great Neck, NY, Dr. Samadi is a board-certified urologist and an oncologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of urologic diseases, and prostate, kidney and bladder cancers. Demonstrating his expertise in advanced minimally invasive treatments for prostate cancer, he developed his own surgical technique for removing cancerous prostates – known as the Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique or SMART. To date, he has performed more than 4,500 robotic prostatectomy procedures.
For the past four years, he has appeared regularly as a medical contributor on the Fox News Channel. He currently serves as host of Fox's "Sunday Housecall." His reputation has enabled him to develop a sizeable international clientele among his 6,000 patients, who routinely travel from Israel and other Middle Eastern countries to seek his care.
Prior to joining Mount Sinai in 2007, Dr. Samadi served as chief of robotic surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He completed his postgraduate training in general surgery at Montefiore Medical Center and in urology at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center. He completed an oncology fellowship in urology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a robotic radical prostatectomy fellowship at Henri Mondor Hospital Creteil in France. He earned his medical degree from Stony Brook University.
Over the past decade, Dr. Samadi has been actively involved in training and proctoring urologists across the country and internationally. His website, Robotic Oncology (www.roboticoncology.com), has been translated into six different languages. He is a member of the American Urologic Association and the American Medical Association.

The last lines should be the name of the monster you need to kill or the items you need to collect for the quest, the addon gets those directly from your gamedata. The problem with your gamedata is that it is written in cyrillic, which this addon doesn't support. To be honest, one could say that this addon doesn't fully support any other language besides english, since the guides are not translated when your game client has another language.

Version 2.4.3
Submitted by dbb on Sun, 2013-02-10 19:20.
I just installed 2.4.3 and I was questing in Badlands and noticed that the arrow wasn't updating. On the previous version I could right click on the quest in the wow pro addon and hit map coordinates and it would normally update the map and go to it. However, I noticed in the new version when I try to tell it to map coordinates it turns yellow instead of bringing the menu up.
Was the map coordinates feature removed? ;( It was very useful.
Thanks for the great addon.
Submitted by dmzPT on Tue, 2013-01-08 02:25.
first of all...congratulations on a great piece of software, commend you for the hard work all of you have to pull this together!!
and now...for the next set of compliments.. ahaahahah
the pack is much less memory hogger than other known packs... ( dugi or zygor) has the latest dailies guides (congrats on that too) and it's really simple to work with and full of simplicity, althoug i just leave one tiny suggestion...don't know if this is the right place but.....in the "quest list"...is it possible to add an option to the list orientation..if some of us want to put the frame in the lower part of the screen...is it possible that the quests show from bottom to top, besides the normal orientation from top to bottom?
Grow upwards?
Submitted by Emmaleah on Thu, 2013-01-10 03:42.
Thats an interesting idea. I can't comment on the feasibility or likliness of such a thing. But as a suggestion to accomplish your goal. I have lately gone back to playing with only one step visable. (the way the addon used to work forever ago) and I think I actually like it better (at least for dailies -- that way I don't see the steps that are 1 or more beyond my current objective that the guide will skip when they become the next available step). It means you have to check off sticky steps as you read them and remember them in your head rather than on the screen to remind you, but other than that it does work very smooth. If it was only showing one step, the grow up option wouldn't be as important.

Grow upwards: Anchor Point
Submitted by Jiyambi on Thu, 2013-01-10 17:37.
It used to be you could get the addon to grow upward if you set the anchor point as one of the three bottom points (lower left, center, or right). I don't know if this is still an option, but that's how I coded it way back in the day. Hope that helps!
Waypoints won't clear
Submitted by Spuddelkopf on Fri, 2012-11-16 22:01.
Waypoints set by the WoW-Pro leveling addon don't clear for me when reaching them. This is especially annoying when there is a series of waypoints to show me the way to a location. First I suspected TomTom to be the culprit and reported a bug there but it seems the bug is at least related to your addon. For details, please see my report at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/tomtom/tickets/90-waypoints-are-not-clearing/. (I didn't open the ticket but commented on it, name is spuddelkopf.)
I hope the right people see
Submitted by lwoodya on Fri, 2012-12-21 01:49.
I hope the right people see this post and it helps shed some light. The last version of TT that had the waypoints working correctly was 50001-1.0.4. I have a copy of this that I make sure stays installed so Wow-Pro will work. I have not run into any other issues that may have been fixed in later versions of TT.
I hope you can track down and fix the problem so I can keep my TT up to date.
WP & TT still not working
Submitted by wdavis111 on Sun, 2013-01-06 17:28.
This is still a problem for me using WP 2.4.1 and latest TT v50100-1.0.1. If I back off to TT v50001-1.0.4 then it works fine. Good workaround but was hoping for a fix.

Ludo - waypoint checkoff issues
Submitted by Jiyambi on Thu, 2013-01-10 17:39.
Hey Ludo, just tagging you by name and hoping we might get an answer for this one. Is this what your multiple waypoint post is about? If not, is there any chance this could be looked into? It's very irritating, as the above posters mention. Makes all those lovely multiple coord C steps really inconvenient >_< Grrr @ Cladhaire for changing TomTom and breaking this behaviour.

Ah, thanks for the explanation, I have so much catch-up to do in terms of knowing what's going on with the addon these days :) So, long story short, it's fixed but we need to add those tags to everything?
Arrows won't show.
Submitted by Blacktigress on Mon, 2012-11-12 22:45.
Been using this great add-on since it was first created and have loved it. Recently been having issues with it, though. Since I updated to the latest versions of WoW-Pro and TomTom the arrow doesn't appear for any steps in the Dragonblight Alliance guide(seems to be working if I switch to Howling Fjord so is a big ? for me. I try to make it map the co-ords, but no arrow will show. Any idea what can be done to fix it?
Submitted by Emmaleah on Tue, 2012-11-13 19:35.
This is an error due to the map lawer of Dragon Soul that is also called Dragonblight. The kludgy fix is to open your dragonblight guide (with a text editor such as wordpad) and change where it says Dragonblight in the header to 488.
alliance is found at:
\\...<your wow directory>\interface\addons\WoWPro_Leveling\Alliance\74_75_Jame_Dragonblight.lua
change this:
- WoWPro.Leveling:RegisterGuide("JamDra7475", "488", "Jame", "74", "75", "JamGriA7577", "Alliance", function()
horde is found at:
\\...<your wow directory>\interface\addons\WoWPro_Leveling\Horde\73_75_Jame_Dragonblight.lua
change this:
- WoWPro.Leveling:RegisterGuide("JamDra7375", "488", "Jame", "73", "75", "JamGriH7577", "Horde", function()
Sorry I can't offer a proper fix, but that will get you going again until someone can. This will mean that the guide will show a title of 488 in the guide list and in the guide frame, but it will now map right ;)

Un'Goro guide
Submitted by Lucky Dragon on Sun, 2012-11-04 19:26.
Currently, the Un' Goro crater guide shows only the first 2 steps. I deleted the addon folders and downloaded a fresh copy. I also deleted the wow-pro configuration files for my character in the WTF folder, but after all that it still only has 2 steps. The character I'm attempting to use it on is alliance, if that makes any difference. Is this guide incomplete or is it an issue with the addon?
Submitted by JamesL85 on Wed, 2012-11-07 16:14.
If you right click the header for the addon, there's a dropdown menu. I think one of the options is something like This Guide, or something similar. Click on that and it will show you all the steps in the current guide. Are they all checked off or are there just 2 steps listed? I looked at 2.3.5 and Un'Goro has a ton of steps. Just trying to narrow down the issue.
Not just un'goro
Submitted by Lucky Dragon on Thu, 2012-11-08 08:48.
I tried again tonight with Hellfire Ppeninsula, and it's only showing the 1st step so I think it is a larger issue and not the specific guide. I tried again after deleting the folders and settings and reinstalling a fresh copy but I'm still having the issue. Listing the current guide in the settings after I reset it only shows the first step (HFP guid, in this inscance) and when I chcked off the step I got the following exception: (hope this helps)

Did you update off of curse? It only includes the first few guides.
Check what version of the addon you are using, if its not the current (2.3.5 for a day or so longer) get the current version. Then post back what precisely you see that causes you to think it isn't working. I.E. the first spot that seems wrong. Race/faction and particular guide helps.

Human starter slightly outdated and broken
Submitted by j800r on Tue, 2012-10-23 01:16.
Ok, so my main is a undead demo warlock on Draenor (EU) but I decided to give a human pally a go a sec ago and noticed a couple of issues. The biggest being the fact that waypoints are completely broken. Each step directs to the same place which is not where you need to be.
An adictional issue would be the fact the guide's a little outdated when it comes to class specific quests. I can wait for fixes. Decided to roll the pally as Dranei instead now anyways.
thank you for the guides + issue
Submitted by chris_h on Fri, 2012-10-19 21:12.
I used the addon in pandaria and it worked great, thank you. But I'm running into problems using the World Events addon for the Hallow's End candy bucket locations. I've tried disabling all addons except tomtom but whenever I enter a new zone (or even new area with a zone), wow freezes. I have to force quit and then restart. Not sure what's up since the general addon for leveling works fine. Any chance this could be fixed? I'd really love to be able to use this addon to hit all the buckets...makes it so much faster than making my own macros to use with tomtom. Thanks in advance for any help!
Experience Same
Submitted by f03809 on Sat, 2012-10-20 06:10.
I am experiencing the same issue. From reading other forums, I believe it has to do with the Cross Realm zones. Whenever I fly into new, low populated zones and land, WOW freezes 20 to 30 seconds. If i disable all addons except Wow-Pro, it freezes everytime i switch zones. If i enable all my addons EXCEPT Wow-Pro, this freeze only lasts for about 1 to 2 seconds. Reading through the blizzard forums has lead me to believe it has to do with the Cross-Realm Zones that was added in MOP. I hope that helps with your troubleshooting.
CRZ causing Lag?
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2012-11-10 03:30.
I saw that recount released a new version yesterday (11/8) and in the change log they said they were delaying some calculations that they normally perform after zoning to help with the CRZ lag after changing zones. I was wondering if there is anything like that that may help with Wow-pro? While its CRZ causing the lag, I think Wow-pro may be exacerbating it.

hey, thanks for the fast response :)
I'm using the latest version of tomtom, v50001-1.2.1. Also I didn't mention that this is happening in Northrend. I haven't used the guide anywhere else so I'll hop on in a sec and see if it happens when I'm in kalimdor or eastern kingdoms. I'll try the debug as well, thanks.
also just realizing that I *may* not have the most up-to-date addon? I just looked at my curse client and it had 'modified' next to its status. So I right clicked to update and it dl'd files but when I look at the change log it says its the trial version? I dunno if I dl'd the addon here or via curse. hm, confusing myself now. Maybe I'll just delete entirely and re-dl the addon from here.
EDIT: Ok my bad, as you were, I didn't have the latest update of the addon installed. /facepalm! It didn't come up as an update in my curse client but then, yeah, I think I manually dl'd here anyway so it wouldn't have. Got the latest now and I think its working ok. Thanks anyway for your help! Again, tysvm for the guide. Infinitly helpful greatness :))

Thank you for reporting things that are unclear. In the future it is helpful to include Zone and Faction.
While, technically it isn't wrong. but I probably should change it. I intentionally only mapped to one of the 3 locations. Originally I had the 3 spots with thier own dots (and thier own individual lines. Then I changed it (and thought I changed the note also to tell people) to rely on the gear symbol Bliz put on the minimpa. Then later, I went thru the MOP guides and mostly removed relying on Blizz's minimpa icons. (because it occured to me, people may have them turned off)

A big thank you!
Submitted by j800r on Fri, 2012-10-12 18:09.
Just allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to all community members involved in maintaining this addon and all guides assosiated with it. I checked out a paid questing guide addon earlier (shan't name names) and for the basic levelling guide it was £30! (or $45). That is around as much as I paid for the MoP expansion! Nearly four months worth of game time!!
WoW-Pro guides continue to be 100% free and while updates are not always on the ball for a free guide it is still fantastic. I managed to get my main (an Undead Warlock named Ochmech on the Draenor-EU server) to 90 in not too much time using the addon/guides. And that was without heirlooms or the likes. Also got a shammy alt to lvl 60. Some of the recent guides haven't been perfect and the addon can still be buggy at times but no one gets paid for the work they put into the addon/guides. Considering that, I am eternally greatful for the wow-pro questing/levelling guide and I don't know what I would have done without it.

I will add them to Townlong when I get there again (hopefully next week) It appears there arent any of these in Dread Wastes. At least no one has found any yet.
Here they are, but I havent looked for the right spot in the guide to add them, (if you should happen to feel like it.)

The numbers, as Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said, are "very encouraging," but as he also acknowledged, "we have a long way to go and a lot of work to do ..."
The numbers, as Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said, are "very encouraging," but as he also acknowledged, "we have a long way to go and a lot of work to do ..."
Jones' comment came as his department released crime figures for the first half of the year. They are indeed encouraging, especially compared with 2012. And especially for violent crime.
Homicides are down about 64 percent. Forcible rape is down about 13 percent. Robbery is down about 28 percent. And aggravated assault is down about 10 percent.
To be sure, as Jones said, much work remains. Twelve homicides in the first six months of the year is 12 too many. Forty-nine rapes, 567 robberies and 1,369 assaults are too many.
Compared to last year and compared to what at times seemed like an unstoppable trend toward even higher crime rates and even more violence, the figures released last week are stunningly hopeful.
Jones does not take credit for this but to deny his leadership in turning the tide would be to deny reality. What he does say is that there are three major reasons violent crime is down:
� A department focus on illegal guns and gangs.
� Closer ties between the department and the community.
� Closer collaborations with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
These things are part and parcel with recommendations that form the basis of the city's ongoing Marshall Plan anti-crime effort. Police in Stockton, as they have been nationwide, are focusing more and more on street level crime, literally targeting specific corners or other places where known troublemakers hang out. Making it clear to those people that the rest of us have had enough puts them on notice: shape up or the hammer will drop.
And it has. Multi-agency sweeps have netted dozens of these people and taken dangerous weapons off Stockton's streets. This goes to the hard work of the men and women who do the nasty and sometimes dangerous police work in Stockton.
In the weeks and months ahead, there will be more officers to do that work. As his department released the half-year crime figures, Jones swore in two new officers and announced the hiring of seven others.
That's good news, to be sure, but the best news is the new hires push the department to 346, a level over the number needed for the city to access a $7.8 million, three-year federal grant to hire 17 more officers.
Couple that with money that could come from a 3/4-cent sales tax boost voters will decide in the Nov. 1 election and even more officers - perhaps 100 more - could be patrolling Stockton in the not too distant future.
Jones notes that the exit of veteran officers has largely stopped. "It could be," he said, "that those who wanted to leave have already left." There is some attrition, but nothing like in the past. The department, not to mention the city, is more stable.
Of course, voter approval of the tax increase is not a sure thing. The voters' willingness to go along doubtlessly depends on their confidence in the management in City Hall - part of the money would be used to help the city exit bankruptcy - and the continued anti-crime efforts of the police department.
So far, so good, certainly in terms of reducing violent crime. Violent crime, especially homicides, is what first comes to mind when residents think about crime. It the statistic that attracts the most attention of visitors and those considering moving here. Getting it down simply makes people feel more secure.
It's not the only crime, though. Property crime is not going down in Stockton. Burglary was down marginally in the first half of the year, but larceny-theft, vehicle theft and arson were all up.
Putting so much effort into staunching violent crime meant not as much effort could be put into fighting other types of crime. Adding more officers will mean more resources for work in other areas.
But all of this - all the new hires, the millions from the federal government and the hoped for voter approval of a sales tax increase - will be for nothing without community support.
Police say that increasingly they are getting it, notwithstanding officers being taunted by neighbors recently when they responded to a shooting or the obscene anti-police signs carried by some protesters at a recent demonstration downtown.
This department has to be our department. Not Jones' or the City Council's. Ours. That means, as Jones has said he wants, officers out of their cars and meeting the residents they serve and protect.
Crime will never end. There always will be a dangerous few and those who believe those rules don't apply to them. It's up to the police to catch them; it's up to Stockton residents to help.

BANGKOK (AP) — Japanese stocks surged Tuesday after a business survey showed mounting confidence among the country's powerhouse manufacturers.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo rose 1.2 percent to 14,627.66 after the latest quarterly "tankan" survey showed a sharp improvement from the prior period. Large manufacturers were especially upbeat, with a reading of positive 12, up from 4 in the July survey.
Markets in mainland China and Hong Kong are closed for public holidays and couldn't react to a survey showing that manufacturing in the world's No. 2 economy barely expanded in September.
Tuesday's report by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing showed manufacturing expanded for the third month in a row. But the group's purchasing managers' index rose by only a fraction to 51.1 last month from 51.0 in August, less than economists expected.
The federation's report comes a day after a private survey by HSBC also indicated weaker than expected growth in China's massive manufacturing sector.
Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi rose 0.4 percent to 2,004.77. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.1 percent to 5,223.10. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan and Indonesia also rose. New Zealand and Malaysia fell.
On Wall Street, stocks fell Monday amid worries that a budget fight in Washington could lead to a failure to raise the nation's borrowing limit. The so-called debt ceiling has to be raised or the government won't be able to pay all of its bills, causing at least a partial shutdown.
But there was no agreement in Congress late Monday, with just hours to go before hitting a shutdown deadline.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.8 percent to close at 15,129.67. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 0.6 percent to 1,681.55. The Nasdaq composite fell nearly 0.3 percent, to 3,771.48.
Benchmark oil for November delivery was down 36 cents to $101.97 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract grade fell 54 cents to close at $102.33 a barrel on the Nymex on Monday.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.3528 from $1.3522 late Monday. The dollar rose to 98.49 yen from 98.28 yen.

Jane Silverstein Ries, FASLA
, will receive the
ASLA Medal
-- the highest honor the ASLA may bestow upon a landscape architect—for her lifetime achievements and contributions to the profession, the welfare of the public, and the environment. In 1929, when women were expected to focus on more domestic concerns, Ms. Ries enrolled at the Lowthorpe School of Landscape Architecture and became the first female landscape architect in the state of Colorado. She began her career in 1933 working for Denver landscape architect Irvin J. McCrary, but left six months later to start her own firm--a true pioneer. Throughout her career, which spanned some fifty-six years, Ms. Ries was the creative force behind civic improvement projects, including the Denver Botanical Gardens and the Denver Art Museum. Long before it was in vogue, she brought livability and stewardship to the design of small private estates and urban gardens. Ms. Ries has been a mentor and role model for women in the profession of landscape architecture, as well as an early advocate of sustainable design, esthetic green spaces, and raising the standards of urban life.
Laurie D. Olin, FASLA
, will be awarded the
ASLA Design Medal
in honor of his exceptional accomplishments in design. A founder and principal of
Olin Partnership, Ltd.,
in Philadelphia, Mr. Olin has created landscapes that succeed both as social spaces and environmental systems. His projects span the globe, from Bryant Park and Battery Park City in New York, to the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles, to new squares in London and commercial development in Barcelona. His work on national monuments, including Independence Historical Park in Philadelphia and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., provide elegant proof that security design and good design are not mutually exclusive. Mr. Olin's work demonstrates that design that provides functional accommodation, symbolic meaning, and esthetic richness can make timeless human environments.
William Callaway, FASLA
CEO, SWA Group
Kevin Shanley, ASLA
President, SWA Group
SWA Group

He holds LSU's highest teaching honor, Alumni Professor, and in 1992 received ASLA's highest honor, the ASLA Medal. Several years ago, the Louisiana chapter of ASLA produced a film about Dr. Reich's life. In it, when asked what he thought was his biggest contribution to the profession, he replied "developing a corps of disciples, who go out with the same philosophy and do great things…a lot greater than I've done."
The LaGasse Medal in the Landscape Architect Category
will be awarded to
Steve D. Livingston, ASLA
, for his leadership in management and conservancy of natural resources and public lands.

As Director of the Department of Parks for the city, Mr. Livingston heads up a staff of 150 people who plan, design, construct, and maintain 1,200 acres of urban public facilities. He chairs Charleston's Design Review Committee, reviewing and approving all public space and facility design. In addition to restoring and maintaining the city's large existing park system, Mr. Livingston has led the development of several significant new projects, including the South Carolina Aquarium. The letter nominating Mr. Livingston for this award reads "the parks and open space in the city of Charleston and the city's approach to preservation and revitalization are an example to the entire country."
The LaGasse Medal in the Non-Landscape Architect Category will be presented to Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, Honorary ASLA.
Ms. Rogers founded the
Central Park Conservancy
and served as its first president to bring citizen support to the restoration and renewed management of Central Park. A resident of New York since 1964, Ms. Rogers is the first person to hold the title Central Park Administrator. In 1996, she formed

Original Press Release:
Jackson Area Career Center Excels in Manufacturing Education Wins National Recognition
The SME Education Foundation has selected Jackson Area Career Center, Jackson, Mich., as an exemplary school to participate in its PRIME (Partnership Response In Manufacturing Education) program, a comprehensive, community-based approach to manufacturing education.
DEARBORN, Mich., JACKSON, Mich. – The Jackson Area Career Center, Jackson, Mich., has been named one of nine exemplary schools in eight states selected by the SME Education Foundation for its 2013 PRIME (Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education) program. Launched in fall 2011 with the selection of six schools in six different states, PRIME takes a community-based approach to manufacturing education by creating strong partnerships between organizations, businesses and exemplary schools.
The PRIME designation for the Jackson Area Career Center comes with a three-year commitment by the SME Education Foundation to provide assistance in creating and fostering strong partnerships with the local manufacturing base to provide job shadowing, mentoring, and internships. In addition, PRIME schools receive funds totaling $35,000 for the three years to support equipment upgrades, continuing education for instructors, STEM-based camps for middle school students, and classes like the manufacturing program at the Career Center, which includes Engineering PLTW (Project Lead The Way), Precision Machining/CAM, and Welding Technology. The SME Education Foundation Scholarship Program provides students with access to scholarship funding.
"The Jackson Area Career Center is successfully working to develop the core of Michigan's future manufacturing skilled labor force," says Bart A. Aslin, CEO, SME Education Foundation. "All the critical components are in place for what we consider a premier program, all integral for the development of a highly skilled technical workforce. They have a disciplined manufacturing course of study, the involvement of business and industry, and are offering tech-based summer camps, scholarships and robotic competitions."
John Riedeman, Career Center Engineering/PLTW instructor, says, "We pride ourselves on motivating students to set a career path and working with us to develop the technical skills that support their abilities. We want to maximize the effectiveness of this funding by focusing on our Engineering/PLTW, Precision Machining/CAM, and Welding Technology courses of study. The funding will also support program development, instructional training, scholarships, field trips, and participation in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
The Jackson Area Career Center is a technical education hub for more than 1,200 students from over 15 different area high schools who are currently enrolled in the Center's 30 different programs —over 30 percent of all juniors and seniors in Jackson. Students who chose to attend the Career Center do so at no cost to the student or local school district. The focus of the Career Center is to allow students a seamless, cost-free elective in their local school schedule in which to explore opportunities for their future and get a jump-start on college credits.
At the Career Center, community employers and partnerships are important to their operation and technical education programs. Each program utilizes the services of Advisory Committee members (over 200 in all) to assist in keeping curriculum current with industry standards. Job placement coordinators work with area employers to assist students with non-paid work experience, cooperative education, and graduate job placement.
The Jackson Area Career Center sets high standards for rigorous, focused, and engaging study to develop students' innovative, collaborative, cooperative, and problem-solving skills through the different offerings of the manufacturing program.
The PLTW series of courses includes Intro to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics, and Engineering Development and Design. These courses introduce students to Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Computer Aided Design, all major concepts that students will encounter in their postsecondary course of study. The classes are generally taken sequentially and introduce students to the basics of product development, mechanical design, engineering and manufacturing technology.
In addition to the well-rounded course offerings for Engineering at the Jackson Area Career Center, innovative and highly applicable programs are also in place for Precision Machining/CAM and Welding Technology. The Career Center's program not only provides students with strong, fundamental knowledge, and skills, but also exposes them to advanced manufacturing processes and technology, including robotics.
These component course areas of the manufacturing program prepare college and trade school, or apprenticeship bound students for success by ensuring that they are academically strong, with strong problem solving skills, self-motivation, and are goal and career oriented. Project collaboration is encouraged between each class within the program, replicating the nature of real life manufacturing.
The value of this talented staff goes beyond the classroom to encourage future students to pursue engineering and manufacturing careers prior to attending the Career Center through their involvement with community affiliates. John Riedeman has worked as an instructor for the Academy for Manufacturing Careers' "Engineering is Elementary" program and leads the Career Center's FIRST Robotics team, which is open to all Jackson County high school students. Joseph Lienhart sits on the board of directors for the Academy for Manufacturing Careers and instructs their "Machining U" program, and in 2012 Eric Johnson was named Educator of the Year by Jackson Area Manufacturers Association. They also work closely with the Shop Rat Foundation and Academy for Manufacturing Careers to provide guidance and resources raising the bar higher and higher for student success and adequate preparation for their future careers.
PRIME was developed as a response to the growing skills gap crisis in the United States along with its greater mission to inspire, prepare and support STEM-interested students. Upon graduation, students leave school with the tools to further their education and become skilled future innovators and contributors to industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in professional, scientific, and technical services is expected to grow by 29 percent, adding 2.1 million new jobs between 2010 and 2020. "
In February 2012, a special report, "A National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing," issued by the Executive Office of the President, National Science and Technology Council," states, "Education and training that anticipates and satisfies the skill requirements of advanced manufacturers while remaining consistent with long-term projections of labor demand, is a key component of the national strategy for advanced manufacturing. Federal actions should include such efforts as (a) support for the coordination of state and local education and training curricula with advanced manufacturing skill-set requirements, and (b) expanded support for advanced manufacturing career and technical education.
The intent of the PRIME initiative is to change outdated perceptions of manufacturing and the careers it offers by reinforcing technical education and providing students with real-world connections, which will ensure a pipeline of more qualified employees. Access to a new website, www.CareerMe.org, funded by the SME Education Foundation, provides links to advanced manufacturing companies whose real-world professionals provide job descriptions and requirements for the in-demand, highly skilled jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in professional, scientific, and technical services is expected to grow by 29 percent, adding 2.1 million new jobs between 2010 and 2020.
PRIME sites for 2013 include: Alabama: Calera High School, Calera, Ala.; California: Esperanza High School, Anaheim, Calif.; Petaluma High School, Petaluma, Calif.; Indiana: McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology, Indianapolis, Ind.; Iowa: Cedar Falls High School, Cedar Falls, Iowa; Massachusetts: Westfield Vocational Technical High School, Westfield, Mass.; Michigan: Jackson Area Career Center, Jackson, Mich.; Ohio: Centerville High School, Dayton, Ohio, and Wisconsin: Bradley Technical High School, Milwaukee, Wis.
