This one is for our Canadian listeners since few outside Canada will even know what I am talking about here. It is for the annual roll up the rim contest that Tim Hortons runs. You get a chance to brag about your epic wins or the numerous fails in the roll up the rim to win contest.

Help fill your WarCrack needs. Been a long time since I have seen a new plugin for WOW. This is for you to list up your guild characters and what their specs are from the table. Just enter your region server and guild name to get a table of all your guild mates.

Back to lazy, this plugin make the loading of image wait until your visitor scrolls into view this will increase speed of the page for Google and other search engines. I found this to work very well after install it limits the loading of images on a page to only after you scroll to them.
