Page 5 – Elite Stable
It seems that management has some big ideas for Sabrina. Is there any cause for suspicion of these plans?
Voting Incentive!
Coming up on Monday, Ian's sister….Kaci 'Huntress' Alexander!
It seems that management has some big ideas for Sabrina. Is there any cause for suspicion of these plans?
Voting Incentive!
Coming up on Monday, Ian's sister….Kaci 'Huntress' Alexander!
Altas just referred to himself in Panel 4?
Reasons for suspicion? Just that Sabrina still does not know who she will face in her debut match. Oh and Chloe is a free agent.
Wow, I'm liking the Idea behind this Elite stable. I'm all about fair play and honor in the ring (Just ask Brenda). I wonder if it's too late to send my contract into MWA for consideration
Placing an American with a Brit, are they trying to start the War of 1776 and 1812 again? 😉 Might be the sequel to Lora Innes The Dreamer… maybe… heh
Should be interesting to see who Sabrina faces, although it would be more interesting if she faced Ian's sister Kaci in the ring for the exhibition match…
Im still convinced its Danielle that is stomping on Brina.
I hope I get this many compliments when I get over there.
I approve of compliments.
You'll get the next step up. Limo at the airport. With bubbly in a bucket.
I approve of bubbly as well!
Her locker room? Not "the" locker room? Wait till she writes home about that! LoL
ALbone vital stats on
Kaci 'Huntress' Alexander…
so I can do Caws on her..
wrestling skills
height weight
It's looks like it's off to a good start, lets hope the Locker room continues that good mood feeling. 😀
That "English" guy gives me the creeps. He looks like a mashup of Zach Ryder and the Joker.
Hoping Ashley pops in. The next part of our match is up in the forums. 🙂
It's not ova' yet bossman. It's the best of 5
so based on the VI- Kaci looks to be a bit of a fusion between Brina and Brooke. guessing she's a technical type.
i do like how in 2 panels brina goes from "<swoon> english guy" to "waitasec…couple?" of course the snoopy dance (off panel) at the idea of having her own lockerroom seems to be enough to overcome the idea that she's just been added to a stable.
i do like the pic of himself Atlas has on his shirt that i';ve only just noticed if it's been there the whole time.
Wishful thinking and shotgun wedding are two different things too.
Her own locker room, eh? Does it have a big flat screen TV?
I don't like this. Something's incredibly fishy about this situation.
Jealousy? What a thing to suggest. I'm just concerned about Sabrina. Shut up.
I do notice that these guys' style is a lot closer to real-world wrestling, deciding relationships and affiliations from behind the desk, than Gabrielle's approach, which seems to be "find women with strong personalities and give them mutually exclusive goals, then nurture the grudges that come up as a result."
Paranoia is your friend, pay attention when he speaks!
Its interesting the VI changed several times. We saw Kaci getting dressed, now we see Kaci yelling at Sabrina… I think. And the button is showing a gal in a mask… lots going on.

You just heard about nicotinamide riboside, and all the anti-aging benefits it's claimed to provide.
But most of the articles you found online were full of technical jargon and science-y words that were ultimately more confusing than helpful.
But here, we'll use down-to-earth language so that you can learn all about nicotinamide riboside, and explore whether or not it's right for you. In other words, think of this as your no-nonsense guide to nicotinamide riboside (hey, that rhymes!).
So let's begin with the basics and find out what nicotinamide riboside is.
What Is Nicotinamide Riboside?
The detailed version: Nicotinamide riboside, a version of niacin (vitamin B3), is a type of coenzyme, which is just a fancy word for a substance that enhances the action of an enzyme.
In other words, by itself, nicotinamide riboside doesn't provide any direct benefits to the human body. Instead, only after nicotinamide riboside binds with protein molecules to form active enzymes can it potentially provide any benefits. We'll talk more about this in the next section.
The not-so-detailed version: Nicotinamide riboside changes how certain proteins in your body behave, which could lead to some pretty substantial health benefits.
The Nicotinamide Riboside / NAD+ Connection
As we mentioned above, nicotinamide riboside is a precursor that helps enzymes work better and provide a variety of benefits within your body. And in this instance, oral supplementation of nicotinamide riboside has been shown to increase the levels of another chemical precursor known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+.
Now, at this point, you're probably thinking "Oh great, another technical term I have to remember!" But stick with us. We promise it will be worth your while.
One of NAD+'s primary functions is to transfer electrons from one molecule to another, which is how the mitochondria (known as the "powerhouses of cells") create energy. On top of this, NAD+ may also increase levels of cyclic ADP-ribose, which is a messenger molecule responsible for the exchange of information inside and outside of cells.
So, in case you skimmed over this section, here's the Cliffs Notes version: Nicotinamide riboside increases NAD+ levels, which can help increase energy production and improve cellular communication.
What Health Benefits Might Nicotinamide Riboside Provide?
Alright! You made it through all the technical jargon, so congrats! Now, what you really want to know is how nicotinamide riboside can improve your health. Let's find out.
As you get older, the communication between your cells' nuclei and their mitochondria, as well as between other cells, slowly deteriorates. Because of this, aging speeds up and leads to things like wrinkles, bone and muscle weakening, and even dementia-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.
However, according to a breakthrough study conducted in 2013 (we'll talk about the details in the next section), oral nicotinamide riboside supplementation increased NAD+ levels, which then "restored the communication network in older mice. Subsequent tissue samples showed key biological hallmarks that were comparable to those of much younger animals."
In other words, increasing NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside may help slow the aging process, in addition to lowering high-fat-diet-induced weight gain.
Sounds amazing, right? But let's see if the other available scientific evidence supports these claims.
The Scientific Proof Behind Nicotinamide Riboside
According to the NIH's PubMED directory, published research is available for nicotinamide riboside dating all the way back to 1953, so we've known about the substance for quite some time.
However, it wasn't until June 2012 that a group of researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland found "the natural vitamin NR could be used as a nutritional supplement to ameliorate metabolic and age-related disorders characterized by defective mitochondrial function." Keep in mind however, that this study was conducted on yeast, not complex organisms.
Then, in 2012, a study completed by the University of Maine Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences showed that showed nicotinamide riboside might help reduce symptoms of a specific type of muscular dystrophy in zebrafish.
A Breakthrough for Nicotinamide Riboside Research
But in 2013, two potentially big breakthroughs were made regarding nicotinamide riboside.
First, in June, a study completed by the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that NAD+ improved "cognitive function and synaptic plasticity" in mice.
Ultimately, the researchers concluded this could act "as a key regulator of the lifespan-extending effects," and could even represent a potential treatment for Alzheimer's.
Then, in November of that same year, a research team led by Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School found that "raising NAD+ levels in old mice restores mitochondrial function to that of a young mouse." In other words, "Examining muscle from two-year-old mice that had been given the NAD-producing compound for just one week, the researchers looked for indicators of insulin resistance, inflammation and muscle wasting. In all three instances, tissue from the mice resembled that of six-month-old mice. In human years, this would be like a 60-year-old converting to a 20-year-old in these specific areas."
Ultimately, this study is referenced by most Niagen supplements companies to back up their claims. However, it's important to reiterate that, although these studies seem promising, they were not conducted on humans.
Additional Research for Nicotinamide Riboside
Since that time, additional studies have been conducted on the NAD+/aging connection, including an April 2014 study that concluded "NR and strategies boosting NAD(+) levels are a promising treatment strategy for mitochondrial myopathy," while an August 2014 study that found it "can dramatically ameliorate age-associated functional defects, counteracting many diseases of aging, including neurodegenerative diseases." However, for the latter study, NAD+ was supplemented in addition to "sirtuin activation."
Overall, nicotinamide riboside is an exciting chemical, and early research on yeast, mice, and fish indicates that we might be slowly uncovering its vast potential. However, whether or not any of these benefits transfer over to humans remains to be seen.
In fact, a 1998 placebo-controlled study exploring nicotinamide riboside as a treatment for Parkinson's failed to "show any clear benefit," so proof of human efficacy remains mixed.
Who Manufactures Nicotinamide Riboside? What About Ingredients?
NAD+ is used in a wide variety of clinical and pharmacological research, so there's a decent amount of demand for the coenzyme. And traditionally, it's been derived from tryptophan through an 8-step biological process.
However, if nicotinamide riboside works as well as current research indicates, this means that NAD+ could be created in just 2 steps, making it both more efficient and potent.
And where any clinical breakthrough occurs, there is always going to be a company who seizes the opportunity to profit from it. In this instance, it's a company named ChromaDex, who manufactures the "first and only commercially-available nicotinamide riboside (NR) with five patents issued and more pending," called Niagen.
Basically, ChromaDex manufactures Niagen and then sells it to third-party supplements manufacturers (such as Live Cell Research, among many others), who encapsulate it, put it in a bottle, and sell it under their brand name.
In the vast majority of instances, each capsule of Niagen includes only 125mg of nicotinamide riboside (250mg per 2-capsule dose), as well as whatever ingredients are contained in the manufacturer's capsule.
So while you'll find numerous companies selling Niagen supplements, ChromaDex is the only company who commercially offers nicotinamide riboside.
Does Niagen or Nicotinamide Riboside Cause Any Side Effects?
After reading literature from ChromaDex, there don't appear to be any reported side effects related to Niagen. Additionally, there aren't any listed online for nicotinamide riboside, either.
However, a couple dozen HighYa readers have left their feedback for Niagen, and have given the supplement an average rating of 2.5 stars, with only 38% claiming they'd recommend it to a friend.
This is because, while some claim to have experienced beneficial results from using it, common complaints cite failure to work, as well as side effects such as joint and muscle pain and swelling around the eyes. One reader also claimed that Niagen interfered with their hypothyroidism medication.
Bottom Line: Should You Give Nicotinamide Riboside a Try?
Clearly, the preliminary research shows that nicotinamide riboside's ability to increase NAD+ could have a huge impact on how we age, as well as our overall health. Want to live to be 150? Nicotinamide riboside just might hold the key.
However, it's important to keep in mind that nearly all nicotinamide riboside research has been conducted on simple organisms such as yeast, and a few on mice or fish. As such, there's no way to know if these same benefits will transfer over to humans. In fact, nearly two-thirds of all HighYa reviewers claimed that the nicotinamide riboside in Niagen provided no benefits whatsoever, so it might be the case that you experience the same.
In other words, as of now, nicotinamide riboside holds some immense possibilities, but we'll have to wait and see if it lives up to the hype.

Designer Label -v- Design A Label : My garment sewing comes of age!
Hello sewing buddies!
I'm sure you'll agree, Labels can be contentious things; from the ones we assign ourselves and the ones society places on us to the ones we're told we should aspire to buy. I can be labelled 'Mother', 'Wife', 'Middle-Aged'; as a 'Sewist' and 'Maker'; an 'Introvert' and 'Bookworm' for example but can these labels, singularly or together, give you the whole picture of who I am? Of course not. (As far as labels go, I like 'Human' best ;-)) And, as someone who sews my own clothes, I'm rarely swayed by Designer clothing labels either.
That all said, admittedly, there is one Label I have been desiring for years; my own self-designed woven label to sew into my handmade garments!
And now I have them and I couldn't be happier! Friends, I also have a 15% discount code for you too, should you want to whisper in Santa's ear! …

What is the difference between a mystery and a thriller?
From David Morrell, former president of the International Thriller Writers Organization:
"One crucial distinction is that traditional mysteries appeal primarily to the mind and emphasize the logical solution to a puzzle. In contrast, thrillers strive for heightened emotions and emphasize the sensations of what might be called an obstacle race and a scavenger hunt.... [T]he contrast is between emotion and logic, between an urgent pace and a calm one. True, the two genres can merge if the scavenger hunt of a thriller involves solving a puzzle. But in a thriller, the goal of solving the puzzle is to excite the reader as much as to satisfy curiosity.
"It's interesting that, in recent years, some authors have blended elements of thrillers and mysteries into a hybrid (mostly involving serial killers) in which a detective's solution to a heinous crime is presented in a harrowing fashion that is more typical of thrillers than mysteries. This sort of evolution is an indication of how creative these genres can be."
Carolyn Wheat, quoting from Trish MacDonald Skillman, provides Fifteen Differences Between Mysteries and Thrillers:
1. A mystery concerns itself with a puzzle. Suspense presents the reader with a nightmare.
2. A mystery is a power fantasy; we identify with the detective. Suspense is a victim fantasy; we identify with someone at the mercy of others.
3. A mystery can be likened to a myth. Suspense is more like a fairy tale.
4. In a mystery the hero or heroine already has the skills he or she needs to solve the puzzle. In suspense, he or she must learn new skills to survive.
5. In a mystery, thinking is paramount. In suspense, feeling is paramount.
6. The most important action in a mystery takes place offstage. In suspense, the important action happens onstage.
7. A mystery usually takes place within a small circle of friends. The hero or heroine of a suspense novel often finds him or herself thrust into a larger world.
8. Readers of mysteries are looking for clues. Readers of suspense are expecting surprises.
9. In a mystery, information is withheld. In suspense novels, information is provided.
10. The ideal reader of mysteries remains one step behind the hero or heroine. Those who read suspense should be one step ahead of the hero or heroine.
11. Mystery readers expect a series. Those who read suspense know a book can be a one shot.
12. The hero or heroine in a mystery is looking for suspects. The hero or heroine in suspense looks for betrayers.
13. A mystery hero or heroine must confront a series of red herrings. The suspense novel hero or heroine faces a cycle of distrust.
14. Mystery endings must be intellectually satisfying. Suspense endings must provide emotional satisfaction.
15. Mysteries are usually three hundred manuscript pages. Suspense novels can be longer.
Collecting online information on writing fiction for publication...and beginning in 2012, writing about whatever else I darn well please that deals with plot, or character, or anything else related in some vague way to writing fiction.

Academy Theatre & Lion Heart Theatre Present a Flying Cat Production of Heart Throbs: 9 Short Plays About Love!
From the pick up to consumation, the shows explore how hard it is to get together and stay together.
Not Quiteby playgoer
Sunday, February 17, 2013
The nine short plays making up "Heart Throbs" are of generally good quality and are generally well directed and performed. None of them really catch fire, though, with two-character plays often pairing one fully realized performance with another that seems marginally stagey or amateurish. Many of the characters are difficult to play, being given physical descriptions in the dialogue that don't always match the actors' qualities. None of the plays shows the wonderful synergy of plot, dialogue, acting, and production that makes for a truly transcendent experience.
Hank Kimmel's "Politically Incorrect Dating" is a cute show with the wonderfully natural Jacquelyn Wyer trying to set up upper-crust Jared Foust with an acquaintance. It's pleasant, with little depth.
Robin Pond's "Close Encounter" takes an interesting approach to speed dating, with Alina Lia's odd behavior toward Michael Mario Good gradually becoming understandable. Once again, it's pleasant.
Trace Crawford's "The Lady and the Tyger" shows great promise at the start, with a superbly comic performance by Olubajo Sonubi reacting to the passive-aggressive behavior of Portia Cue. The play turns into a dry literary treatise toward the end, though.
Ralph Del Rosario's strange "Something Awful/Something Beautiful" is the only two-part play of the evening, confusing the audience with its blackout midway through. It's an odd love/hate story of a man, a woman, and a piano, sparked by a performance by understudy Leigh-Ann Campbell that is perhaps the best performance by anyone I've seen all season. There's an inner life to her character that isn't crystal-clear, but so heartfelt and natural (given the unnatural situations of the plot) that the play sticks in the mind.
The first act ends with Ron Burch's "Last Egg," which is a cute, albeit trite idea that goes on too long. The staging by director Tanya Caldwell is the most imaginative of the evening, but becomes boring within seconds.
"Fighting Mr. Right," the first of four plays in the second ac, is probably the best of the lot. Jared Brodie and Sasha Sheppard are well matched, and Barbra Lindsay's script has just the right amounts of wit, quirkiness, and heart. Sally J. Robertson's direction builds the action to a satisfying conclusion.
"Bona Fide," by Nina Mansfield, is more a skit than a play. Isaac Moran is obviously talented, doing a nice accent, and Cat Roche gives her role her all, but they can't make the thin script come to life.
David L. Fisher's "Social Consultant" is a sweet story with Whittney Millsap as a lady of the evening leaving her john (James Connor) in the morning. There were some line problems at the performance I saw (gloriously covered by Ms. Millsap), yet the overall play worked well. Even so, the script had a throw-away quality to it, as it it were dashed off to fit an empty spot in the bill.
"Up on the Roof," the finale, has a sweet, semi-magical feel to it. David Fisher has directed Mark Harvey Levine's script to point up its best features, and Matt Calvo and Emily Tyrybon bring the characters to life. The lighting design by Robert Drake and Gary White gets its biggest workout in this play, but the slapdash flats of the set don't work at all to suggest a rooftop. It's a slightly disappointing end to a slightly disappointing evening. [POST A COMMENT REGARDING THIS REVIEW]

In the early dark of Veterans Day, 1960, John F. Kennedy made his first trip to Palm Beach as President-elect, inaugurating the town as his Winter White House.
At the Palm Beach International Airport, adoring crowds reached toward the youthful president.
During several weeks in Palm Beach that fall, Kennedy summoned his vice-president, Lyndon Johnson and other government officials to meet with him at his father's house on the island's north end, followed closely by the biggest crowd of reporters the resort had ever seen.
Palm Beach had become a presidential dateline, as it may become now that Mar-A-Lago owner Donald Trump is the President-elect.
In Palm Beach, he announced a legislative agenda that included medical care for the elderly, a new fair housing program, a higher minimum wage and help for the country's depressed areas.
He spent his weeks in the sun deliberating over his Cabinet choices and working on his inaugural address.

We are haunted by this beautiful shot of a young girl in the North Carolina mill where she worked. It was taken by Lewis Hines, who took over 5,000 photos of children while working for the National Child Labor Committee in the early 1900s. This photo is part of a feature in the Charlotte Observer about the efforts to identify unnamed subjects of those photos.
Child labor was part of life in early textile mills. Our own founder, Thomas Kay, got his start in Yorkshire mills as a bobbin boy in the 1840s. According to Wikipedia, "A bobbin boy was a boy who worked in a textile mill in the 18th and early 19th centuries. He would bring bobbins to the women at the looms when they called for them, and collected the full bobbins of spun cotton or wool thread. They also would be expected to fix minor problems with the machines. Average pay was about $1.00 a week, with days often beginning at 5:30 am and ending around 7:30 pm six days a week."
The boy above is Tony Soccha, a bobbin boy in the Chicopee, Massachusetts mill. And if you would like to know who the pensive little girl is in the photo above, you can read the full story here.

Happy Halloween everyone! I was going to do some tutorials, but let's face it - my skills are not all that and I was so busy I could barely fit in blogging at all, hence my short break from this site (sorry about that). I hope you'll spend your day in a creepy haunted house, or whatever floats your boat. I'm going to be talking Project 10 Pan updates today. You may have noticed I've been doing some hauls (and another one's coming tomorrow), but I still haven't broken my ban! I got all of the items during blogger events and for my new job, which I'll speak about in more detail soon. So I actually haven't bought anything, which I'm very proud of, it's been what - a month? Crazy!
That being said, I also wanted to share some empties with you today. This past month, I've managed to go through 5 things and I'm here to give you my opinion on all of them. I mostly have hair care with one body item thrown in. Let's see ...
Starting off with Satinique Anti-Hairfall Shampoo and Conditioner, this is another duo I got at a blogger event. Now I've reviewed both of these already here, but let me quickly say a few things. I have to say I did not notice a difference with my hair falling out. But nonetheless, this duo was really amazing. I often use shampoos and they work well for the first few washes, but later just end up making my hair greasy and straw-like. Not this duo, though - I'm actually sorry I used them up instead of relieved! Would I recommend them? Not if you're dealing with hair loss, yes if you just want an amazing shampoo and conditioner.
Next we have the Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo. I got this ages ago and it took me this long to use it up - honestly, despite Essiebutton and plenty of other Youtubers and bloggers raving about it, it just did not convince me. It smells too strong (classic powdery scent), looks super white and is hard to comb out, plus it makes my hair really stringy. I just don't like it, and I would recommend or repurchase it.
Let's do a positive one now - TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey hair mask. This baby is perfect for the season as it smells exactly like Christmas. Cinnamon, oranges and honey, yummy. I don't particularly care about the scent of my hair masks, but I do in this case. Plus, it really helps my hair to be extremely soft and very manageable at the same time, which I just love. Worth the hype!
And finally, a Balea Summer Garden Shaving Gel. This is lovely, and so inexpensive. I'm pretty sure this particular one is a limited edition, but you can find others seasonally. I really strongly recommend it, for 1€ you'll be making shaving so much more enjoyable (I know it sounds not-doable, but trust me).
There we go, 5 down - 4 in hair care and 1 in body care. I'm finding it incredibly hard to use up makeup though, especially with all the new stuff I've been adding (not that I'm complaining).

Family Guy's really showing its age these days. Where are its teeth? They're nowhere to be seen in this clip from the most recent episode, a cutaway to helmeted French electro duo Daft Punk.
Brian, pretending to be someone else's pet, calls the 'job' "a pretty sweet gig – like being a member of Daft Punk". We then see the pair, already helmeted and in their basement, with one of them having just discovered a Casio keyboard. They play the instrument's demo track; a mailman arrives and delivers a Grammy. "You know it's funny," says one to the other in Family Guy's stock cod accent. "Until you spoke I did not know we were Franch!"
It's the kind of lifeless flab that makes you long for the days of Peter's ridiculous fantasy world, or when it shoehorned in some Right Said Fred lyrics, just 'cause. These days its cutaways are the animated equivalent of pointing at a cultural figure, nudging you, and saying "This thing is known for that." Eyebrows raised, cautious smile – "Right?"
Ever the appropriate comparison, The Simpsons took a punt at a Daft Punk reference in 2012 – a nadir year for the Simpsons, some say – but totally nailed the mockery of Daft Punk's various lyrics by placing one of the pair in the shoes of the show's pre-existing funk-bomb Disco Stu. See both clips below.

haha, actually I feel like the low-iron non-maiden. Here's a round-about post for you, starting with some digital scrapbooking, and ending with a list right out of your doctor's files. 🙂
Last night I remembered these layouts that I made for Creative Memories a few years ago so dug them up to share with you:
This was inspired by my terribly crazy peppermint craving a few years ago. I found myself rummaging around in my friends' houses to see if they had any candy canes left over from Christmas. I was drinking peppermint tea, then buying peppermint extract (for baking) and putting it in hot water to drink like a tea. I chewed 5 (the brand name) peppermint gum all the time. Then I discovered Mentos and chewed them constantly, along with red and white swirly candies. Then I moved on to shampoos….not to eat or drink but to use…peppermint bubble bath, and CREAMS! I would slather my hands (and feet) with peppermint cream then just breathe it in! It seemed normal at first, but quickly turned abnormal and obsessive. Ok, fairly quickly I started wondering what was wrong with me. Eventually I went in for a checkup and did a lab test. My doctor called during supper one evening to tell me that my file was flagged because my iron was so very low ( I think at that point it was almost off the chart, like a minus 2). I did a bit of reading and concluded that my craving for peppermint was because of the iron deficiency in my body.
Apparently, people with low iron can crave chewing ice, eating dirt, stuff like that. I noticed that some of it seems to be in the chewing…like I really wanted to chew and crunch on the candy. My friend's little guy wanted to eat snow every time they went out. When my iron levels came up, the craving went away. Nowadays, when my iron has dipped again, I find the smell and taste of peppermint starts getting more and more tempting!
I thought I'd just mention a few symptoms here….just in case anyone else has had a few of these….I recommend getting your iron checked!! I haven't done great research, but I have read a little bit, and talked to a bunch of people who have also had these problems. Here's a little list I copied and pasted (from emedicinehealth.com), then added a few of my own comments:
- fatigue (tiredness!!)
- decreased energy (increased sleeping)
- hair loss (why is my brush so full of hair!!)
- weakness (do your arms ache when you wash your hair in the shower or put rollers in your hair?)
- shortness of breath (sometimes lying in bed, does it feel like breathing is a big effort?)
- lightheadedness (it doesn't matter if you are a blonde or not)
- palpitations (feeling of the heart racing or beating irregularly)
- looking pale (pale lips, pull your bottom eyelid down, is it pink or pale yellowish?)
- Symptoms of severe anemia may include:
- chest pain, angina, or heart attack
- dizziness
- fainting or passing out
- rapid heart rate
- low blood pressure
- rapid breathing
- pale or cold skin (I'm taking this to also mean, feeling more chilly than usual?)
Ok, this is turning into a rather medical-sounding post (not like me at all) but I really think it's worth it to have a glance, in case you or someone you know is expericing some of this. Oh wait!! I just found this better list on another site! take a peek!:
"If you have 5 or more of the symtoms below, see your doctor: Also consider taking B-Complx vitamins
* Depression * Fatigue * Listlessness, weakness, decreased work productivity * Impaired learning and cognitive function * ADD and ADHD type behavioral disturbances * Developmental delay in infants and young children * Poor memory * Decreased attention span and increased distractibility * Impaired reactivity and coordination * Irritability * Dizziness * Appetite loss * Cravings for non foods such as ice, dirt or clay * Constipation * Difficulty swallowing (because low iron may cause a thin membrane to grow across the esophagus) * Joint soreness * Night time leg cramps * Asthma * Sores on skin, or itching * Poor wound healing * Can cause excessive menstrual bleeding * Hair loss (LOW IRON IS A FREQUENTLY OVERLOOKED CAUSE OF HAIR LOSS) * Headaches * Sore or burning tongue * Soreness in corners of the mouth * Brittle, flat, or spoon shaped nails * Longitudinal ridges on nails * Heart palpitations on exertion * Shortness of breath * Cold extremities, with decreased resistance to cold and poor regulation of body temperature * Tendency to recurrent infections * Chronic bladder infections * Anemia (hypo chromic, microcytic) paleness, weakness, drowsiness, fatigue * Numbness & tingling * Night sweats * Fragile bones * Growth impairment in children * Eye soreness * Vague gastrointestinal symptoms: belching, gas, nausea * Vitiligo (light blotches on the skin) * Swelling in the ankles * Bluish tint to the whites of the eyes * Visual disturbances * Papilledema (swelling inside the eye)" (from answers.yahoo.com)
I highlighted some of the symptoms I was/am feeling. I feel I have experience them all except APPETITE LOSS!!! No way that has affected me, haha. (boo hoo!)
I think it can be easy to live with some of this stuff, and just never think "my iron must be low"! It's way easier to think "I'm going insane!"
I've finally figured out that anemia can cause many feelings/symptoms of depression. (I'm waving a flag here). I'm not advocating self-diagnosing, but just want people to be aware of some of the symptoms in case you have had them w/o really paying attention…and so that you can go and talk to your doctor, get the easy blood-test and get it checked out!! It seems that doctors vary as to how they treat it, and what are normal levels. I'm still a bit confused as to the "numbers" and levels and to date, haven't tried many remedies beyond iron pills…*sigh*…but I have the feeling I'm going to have to start trying some other options soon 😦
I hope this post has been helpful for you in some way. I'd really like to read your comments and/or your own experiences with this low-iron stuff. 🙂

Located in the southern part of Aqaba city, Aqaba Marine Park stretches about 7 km along the coastline. As it is the only access to sea for Jordanians, the marine resources here faced tremendous pressure, to reduce which this park was created and secured under Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority.
The Park's Zonation
- Strict Reserve Zone: As stated above, the reason for establishing this park is to reduce the anthropogenic impacts on the area as much as possible. A permission from the authorities is required prior to undertaking any activity here.
- Beach Recreation and Swimming Zone: This area promotes safe recreational activities at the beach, some of which are diving, swimming, snorkeling and wading. The list of prohibited activities includes general boating, jet skiing, water-skiing, fishing and anchoring.
- Diving and Snorkeling Zones: Diving and snorkeling activities can be undertaken in this zone; however only through the demarcated spots. Also, the site may be closed down periodically to allow it to recover from the impact of diving activities.
- Beach Zone: This protected zone is the land territory of the AMP, marked by the 40 cm high natural stone markers. Other than simple beach use, all other activities have written permissions from the authorities as a prerequisite.
Other highlights of the Marine Park are its multipurpose auditorium, exhibition halls, restaurant, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Elephants, Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe
Holidays to Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe
Seeing elephants in their natural habitat is undoubtedly one of the greatest things on the planet. People have been coming on safari to Zimbabwe for decades to do just that. However, Gonarezhou National Park somehow manages to slip under the radar. This remote yet vast corner of the Masvingo Province stretches for nearly 2,000 square miles. That's plenty of room for its most famous inhabitants, the elephants. Gonarezhou literally translates to 'place of many elephants', and there are more than 8,000 of these incredible creatures roaming around the national park.
It's not easy exploring somewhere so vast. As is always the case in such arid landscapes it's a good idea to search for water. Three major rivers, the Save, Runde, and Mwenezi, all run through Gonarezhou. They bring life to the area, with pools and natural oases that attract the park's wonderful array of wildlife. As well as elephants, you can see lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and rare species of antelope in Gonarezhou National Park. Keen birders can try to tick off some of the hundreds of species of birds that live here too (colourful bee-eaters being our particular favourite).
The area is not just famous for its wildlife though. The dramatic red sandstone Chilojo Cliffs are the product of millennia of erosion. They stand watch over the precipitous Runde River Valley and burn a fiery red when the sun hits them at the right angle. Last of all, make sure you seize the opportunity to see Zimbabwe's iconic baobab trees, famed for their bulbous shape and ancient lifespan.

The following symbols have been used throughout this paper:
- … to indicate that data are not available;
- — to indicate that the figure is zero or less than half the final digit shown, or that the item does not exist;
- – between years or months (e.g., 1991–92 or January–June) to indicate the years or months covered, including the beginning and ending years or months;
- / between years (e.g., 1991/92) to indicate a crop or fiscal (financial) year.
"Billion" means a thousand million.
Minor discrepancies between constituent figures and totals are due to rounding.
The term "country," as used in this paper, does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice; the term also covers some territorial entities that are not states, but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.
This study was prepared in the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund by Sheetal K. Chand, Chief, Fiscal Analysis Division, in collaboration with Albert Jaeger. The study draws on a number of papers on the public pension systems in the major industrial countries, prepared by a staff team from the Fiscal Affairs Department including Frederick Ribe, Etienne de Callatay, Marco Annunziata, and Domenico Fanizza. Useful comments and advice were received from Lans Bovenberg, Daniele Franco, and Estelle James, and from many colleagues at the Fund, in particular from Peter Heller, Liam Ebrill, and Steven Symansky. The authors wish to thank Amina Elmi for research assistance, Diana Ellyn and Beulah David for secretarial aid, and Yvonne Liem for help on the bibliography. David Driscoll of the External Relations Department edited the study for publication and coordinated its production.
The study was originally prepared for a seminar of the Executive Board of the Fund. In the seminar, Executive Directors expressed a wide range of views with regard to the appropriate approach to pension reform and the pertinence of the analysis and recommendations presented in this study. The present version reflects comments and suggestions made by a number of Executive Directors. However, the study should be taken as expressing solely the views of the authors and not those of the Executive Directors or the Fund.

The Democracy Program at the Ash Center seeks to build an intellectual community of scholars whose research illuminates unique aspects of democratic governance. The Center offers fellowships for scholars examining issues such as democracy in "hard places", citizen participation, government innovations at the regional and local level, challenges to democracy, and other academic areas of interest relevant to the Democracy Program.
The Center's Postdoctoral Democracy Fellowship supports postdoctoral scholars whose research must first illuminate aspects of democratic governance in ways that are outstanding according to the standards of the applicant's academic discipline, and second, must provide normative or practical guidance regarding an urgent substantive policy or social problem related to democratic governance. The Center also awards several Democracy Doctoral Fellowships to Harvard Kennedy School Ph.D. candidates or other Harvard University students in related fields. Finally, the Center awards Democracy Visiting Fellowships to faculty, doctoral, and postdoctoral students to support research on democratic governance that addresses substantive concerns and offers normative or practical guidance regarding those concerns.
For more information on the Center's democracy fellowships, to learn about application deadlines, and to download application materials, please visit the fellowships section of our website.

What a magnifiacent ride!!!! It's my #1 spot to go to when visiting DAK. Of course after visiting Flaming Tree BBQ. But I would love to ride it with the lights on some time. Also…does the car bounce that much or is it the the track? Have a magical day all.
Christian aka Lightyear
Christian, the track has some inclines and declines, but the bumps and shakes of the 'off road' feeling come from the simulator's movements not the track. I hope that helps!
Best wishes,
Our family LOVES Animal Kingdom! We will spend at least a day and a half there to look at all the beauty of the landscaping, the architecture of the buildings, the animals, the shows and, oh yea, the attractions. We always let people pass us when we enter inside building of the Countdown line so we can read the signs and look at the skeletons of the dinosaurs.. Everything Disney does is so rich that it takes time to notice, figure out and appreciate the details. Our recommendation is TAKE THE TOURS!!!!!! Oh my, the story lines are fantastic, most of the decorations and architectural details are real items chosen by imagineers during their many research trips to Asia and Africa and other exotic countries. Do what Lou says….take your time and enjoy.
One of my favorite memories comes from this area of Animal Kingdom. And that would be the character breakfast dining experience we had at Restaurantosaurus back when our boys were 9 and 6. Our older son is a big Donald Duck fan and we were having difficulty at that time finding Donald in the parks for Charlie to meet. But, then I came across the character breakfast, featuring Donald at Restaurantosaurus. What an incredible experience that was – watching my son's face light up with excitement when he spotted Donald. And of course he got an autograph and we got pictures to last a lifetime. Mission accomplished.
The Dinosaur ride has never been a big "to do" on our list. In fact, I think only my younger son and I have gone on it. I've tried convincing my wife and older son that Disney has approved the attraction since it's original release. But, still no luck. So, looks like a 2 out of 4, for the "like" category on this attraction. I really dig the ride vehicles and am looking forward to making the trek out to Disneyland so we can experience the Indiana Jones attraction.
Thanks yet again, for another spectacular show, Lou and Ryan!!!

How to Celebrate Father's Day with Elderly Family
Father's Day is a special time to show the men in your life how much they mean to you. If your dad or other significant male is older, you may wonder what you can do to celebrate the day with them. Here are some ideas that seniors will enjoy, including those with limited mobility.
Go Out for the Day
If your senior loved one spends much of the time indoors, they may enjoy a day out for Father's Day. Many older people like to be active, but they don't always have someone to do activities with or a way to get to the destination. Some ideas for spending the day out with your dad, grandad or other male family member include:
• Take a walk – get out in nature at a park or on a hiking trail
• Visit a car show – your loved one may remember driving one of these vehicles
• Visit a local attraction – check out a museum or art exhibit
• Spend the afternoon doing a fun activity – some suggestions are miniature golf, bowling or horseshoes
• Take in a ballgame – even if you don't have a major league team nearby, you can get tickets for a minor league or college team
• Go shopping – many times seniors don't need a lot of stuff, but they would enjoy going to a mall and shopping more than getting a gift
For the Homebound
If your loved one has limited mobility or doesn't care to get out for some reason, you can still make Father's Day special by staying in. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate the day at home.
• Invite a few friends over for an impromptu get-together. You may have to pick up some of the guests if they no longer drive, but it would make for a fun afternoon.
• Plan a poker game. This idea builds on the first one, but you have a focus for your event.
• Watch a sporting event on TV. Bring some snacks and drinks and watch a baseball game, golf tournament or other sporting event.
• Have a backyard barbeque – invite other family members over and grill some meat and vegetables for a relaxing afternoon
• Watch a movie – find out your senior's favorite classic movie and watch it together. You can follow it up with one of your favorites for an all-afternoon movie marathon
• Play games – select a few card and board games for two or invite others over to play
These ideas are just a few suggestions on how you can spend the day with the person you love on Father's Day whether you go out or stay in. Try one or more of these ideas or use them to build your own plan. The important thing is to make sure they know they're loved on this day that celebrates them.
You don't have to spend a lot of money or time creating an elaborate celebration. Just make time for them on this day, and it will be the perfect celebration.

Mobile Embrace Acquires UK-Based Company Marketing Punch For $4.64 Million
Mobile marketing and payments m-commerce company Mobile Embrace has announced that it has significantly strengthened its international footprint and its performance marketing offering with the acquisition of a leading United Kingdom online performance marketing provider, Marketing Punch.
Founded in 2004, Marketing Punch is a profitable business that has operations in the United Kingdom, France and Australia and is an industry pioneer in providing qualified online performance marketing support to a large range of clients.
Marketing Punch's recurring revenue base and client retention rates are particularly strong with more than 60 per cent of clients placing an order with the business every month for the past six years. The business has a proprietary opted-in database of over five million consumers and delivers over 100,000 qualified leads to clients each month. Marketing Punch is acquiring database members at a rate of 220,000 new consumers per month.
Marketing Punch's team, led by the company's founder and managing director, Charles Haynes, will continue with the business while Haynes has agreed to enter into an employment contract with MBE.
The acquisition of Marketing Punch is in line with the company's strategy to acquire quality growth businesses that will accelerate the company's market expansion and performance marketing capabilities.
Marketing Punch gives MBE the necessary scale and international reach to deliver a more integrated offering to clients and partners both domestically and internationally. With consumers increasingly transacting across multiple online and mobile platforms and devices, MBE will be able to provide a much broader suite of performance marketing and consumer analytics products.
Favourable Acquisition Terms and Strong Financial Performance
MBE has acquired Marketing Punch on favourable terms with an upfront cash consideration of £2.14 million (AUD$4.64 million) as well as the issue of 4 million MBE shares at 26 cents escrowed for a period of 12 months. In addition to the upfront consideration, and subject to achieving 100% of financial targets over the next three years, there will be an additional cash consideration of £1.5 million for each year of successful achievement (£4.5 million (AUD$9.77 million).
Marketing Punch is forecast for the UK FY2016 to generate annual EBITDA of £1.2 million (AUD$2.6 million) from revenue of £3.7 million (AUD$8.03 million) which means the acquisition of the business will be immediately earnings per share accretive to MBE.
Funding and New Debt Facility Secured
To partly fund the acquisition of Marketing Punch and fast-track the organic growth of the company's other international operations, MBE is pleased to confirm that it has secured a £4 million (AUD$8.68 million) debt facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia on favourable terms. £2 million (AUD$4.34 million) will be immediately drawn down under the facility to fund the acquisition of Marketing Punch and further funds will be used to fund m-payments international growth.
MBE is particularly encouraged from the support it has received from the Commonwealth Bank and the confidence the bank has displayed in the company's business model and growth prospects. To secure this facility with such a credible financial institution reflects the maturing of the company and is a strong endorsement of MBE's clearly defined strategy and future prospects.
Management Commentary
Commenting on the acquisition, Mobile Embrace's chief executive officer, Chris Thorpe, said: "This is a very strategically important acquisition for the company as it gives our performance marketing operations considerable scale and significantly expands our international operations. The growth opportunities that result from this transaction are highly compelling, and it is an important step in establishing MBE as an emerging global leader in digital performance marketing.
"Like previous businesses MBE has acquired, we have undertaken a thorough due diligence to ensure that Marketing Punch is immediately scalable, is culturally aligned with our existing operations, and can be easily integrated into MBE. This process enables us to manage any acquisition and integration risks. We have a successful track record of acquiring, integrating and growing businesses under the MBE umbrella, and we expect Marketing Punch will be no different.
"By being part of a more multi-faceted performance marketing offering, there are immediate organic revenue growth opportunities that will be realised by leveraging Marketing Punch's product offering across the MBE group. We have every confidence in this business and its growth potential as part of MBE."
Thorpe added: "Securing the new debt facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) is an important milestone for MBE. CBA has taken considerable time to understand our operations and growth strategy, and they have shown the confidence in our business to provide us with the necessary debt funding to help drive our growth. It is a strong endorsement for MBE and marks a maturing of our business.
"FY2016 has started well for MBE and we are on-track to deliver record first quarter performance. Our operating businesses are performing well and our stringent focus on ROE is delivering to the bottom line. We look forward to updating shareholders on first quarter performance in the coming weeks."
Charles Haynes, CEO at Marketing Punch, added: "Joining Mobile Embrace is a very exciting opportunity for myself and the whole team at Marketing Punch. We are delighted to be working with MBE and its businesses as we look to substantially strengthen our position in the market over the next few months. The move will not only allow us to explore new markets but through significant synergies, due to Mobile Embrace's recent acquisitions, we expect further rapid growth."

I had all four wisdom teeth removed within a couple of weeks of each other. I was scared, but Dr. Chin explained exactly what was going to happen, so that put me at ease. The follow-up visits went just as well. Highly recommended for people who don't like to go to the dentist.
I took my daughter to Dr. Chin when she needed her wisdom teeth removed. She was comfortable throughout the whole procedure and didn't have any bad after effects. On the insurance side of things, almost everything was covered. When I had a question about the final bill, the staff answered me thoroughly and courteously. My daughter and I both received excellent service throughout.
Jackie G.
Dear Dr.Dan:
I would like to thank you so very much for putting my daughter and me at ease today during our consultation earlier today. Valerie was scared to death just thinking about the wisdom teeth extraction. Let alone taking all 3 teeth at once. No concerns after meeting you today.
We were so pleased that you took the time to explain in detail how this procedure is performed.
You mild mannered approach made our day.You are a true professional and could surely give lessons to other doctors that do not make new patients feel at ease.
I will be seeing my cousin (perio surgeon this weekend) and will ask her if I am a candidate for the implant (lower right last molar). If she says yes then I will hopefully become your patient as well if you will have me.
Again,THANKS A MILLION FOR MAKING YOUR NEW PATIENTS FEEL AT EASE.
All doctors should be just like you.
Wishing you and your family all HIS blessings.
Sincerely yours,
Robert Tolomeo

A heartbroken family are desperately trying to track down their puppy after it was stolen from their Tyneside home.
Thieves are thought to have snatched seven-week-old King Charles spaniel Lotti after breaking into a house on Strathmore Crescent in Benwell, Newcastle.
Now, Lotti's owners have issued a heartfelt appeal for her safe return and believe somebody must know who is responsible for the break-in.
Kelly Mason, 36, who lives with children Marley, six, and Logan, four, said: "I go to my mam's for dinner every Sunday but beforehand I was going to the shop.
"I went back home to get ready to go over and that's when I saw the lock had been smashed and the place had been ransacked.
"I was only out of the house for 15 minutes at the most."
As well as Lotti, a games console and DVDs were also taken during the burglary on Sunday evening.
And Kelly says the ordeal left her family shaken and heartbroken.
"The kids were hysterical," she said. "We had to stay at my mam's that night because they were too scared to sleep in the house after what had happened.
"They were also crying because the knew Lotti had gone. They're gutted."
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "At 7.49pm on Sunday, January 18, we received a report that a burglary had taken place at Strathmore Crescent in Newcastle. It's believed to have happened between 4pm and 7.20pm.
"A seven-week-old female King Charles Spaniel puppy is now missing from the address, believed to have been stolen, along with a Playstation 3 games console and DVDs."
Any witnesses or anybody with any information should contact police on 101 ext 69191, quoting reference 916 18/01/15

Today is day of the Cardiff Devils first official season game. Jack has been awake since 6.30am beside himself with excitement; face off is at 7pm. It's going to be a long day. I shouldn't complain about his excitement really. A year ago I didn't know if taking him to the ice hockey would even be a possibility.
I've enjoyed ice hockey for years, Emma has been going since she was a baby and Charlie now plays it; but the thought of taking Jack to a game frightened me. So many things could go wrong. The unfamiliar surroundings, the amount of people, the different smells, the noise,well, the everything. I couldn't think of one thing that could possibly make this go well for us. When we went to buy the tickets I asked if Jack could be shown the rink. Of course he could, but it was empty. A huge space that Jack couldn't imagine filled with thousands of people. The tickets were bought (on the end of a row, close to an exit), ear defenders purchased and practiced with and escape plans hatched. We arrived early so that he could physically watch the place fill up gradually. The lights went down, the deafening noise started and then boom. The players came on the ice. He was transfixed. Wanting to know the names, the numbers, the rules, the nitty gritty ins and out of it all. It was as if he was the only person there. Our only stumble that night was when he needed changing. When I came down from my high and realised there were no proper facilities and that I'd need to somehow lay him on top of a toilet to change him I could have sobbed. Of all the things I worried about, this wasn't one of them. So undignified and frightening for him and so heartbreaking for me. Luckily it didn't phase him and he was straight back in the swing of it when we returned to our seats.
Since then we've had to go to many a game and have watched game after game on you tube. And, after speaking with the MD I've discovered that I can change him in their first aid room. How far we've come in a year.

Pro NBA basketballer, Jared Jeffries returns to fish Vanuatu with Ocean Blue!
Pro NBA basketballer, Jared Jeffries recently returned to fish Vanuatu with Ocean Blue. Jared had a great trip popping and jigging with us up in the islands June 2012, and this time he returned with a film crew to capture all the action. When not playing in the NBA, fishing the world is Jared's passion & he's now taken it to the next level, starring in his new extreme fishing tv show during his off season – so this trip has been 12 months of anticipation.
Guide Andrea Traverso said they caught loads of dogtooth & GT's in the 20kg bracket which didn't even qualify for a photo. The biggest doggie landed was in excess of 65kg on a popper. (Jared stands at 6'11 so tends to shrink fish in photo's!) Poppers & stick baits both did damage, with the quality West Coast poppers & ASWB series getting the big thumbs up from JJ. It wasn't all glory however, they got decisively beaten, reefed, sharked & spooled. Every session had epic moments, we can't wait to see the new show "Modern Fishing with Jared jeffries" to be aired in the US early 2014.
Jared rated the total Ocean Blue experience in his top 3 adventures anywhere in the world.
For anglers wanting to do this same frontier expedition to fish this pretty wild country with us, we only have 4 spots left on this October 2013 exploratory expedition. This is a trip of a life time, great value and definitely one not to miss.

The Malon escape pod was a type of small escape pod used on some types of Malon export vessels.
Roughly conical in shape, they seemed to be able to hold one or two individuals per pod. Each individual pod had a large impulse engine on its aft section.
In 2375, when one such vessel's core started to breach, the crew abandoned ship in 37 escape pods. The pods then sent an automated distress call, picked up by the USS Voyager. When they arrived, the pods were heavily contaminated with theta radiation and only two Malon survived. (VOY: "Juggernaut")

Do the two of you ever DuoQ?
Wunder: Nope
Trashy: No, because it always ends the same way when we Duo. We'll have a really good game, then we'll have one game where the enemy jungler ganks top then it's over. If the enemy jungler ganks top then it's over and we just run in circles.
Wunder: We'll have good games and then I'll press "Play Again", but if we have bad games I definitely don't press that button, because I get super into it. If he goes for a cheeky dive and it turns out to a double kill to the enemy top laner I'll definitely not play again.
Trashy: It sounds like it's only me inting, but he ints sometimes too. I think it's ok after a long day of scrims if you don't have to duo, what we built was through scrimming and I don't think we need to DuoQ to build it more.
Is it better to have a carry in the top lane, or a carry in the jungle?
Wunder: For sure carries in the top lane, because this guy - he does 4k damage on Kha'Zix. Actually, on Lee Sin too.
Trashy: For us it's probably better to have carries in the top lane, but it's mostly because Wunder is the kind of player that wants to carry the game.
Wunder: If you are able to carry the game then you should carry. I'm just looking at my jungle when he plays carry junglers like Graves and is just a farming guy, but then he just gets muzzled or something and we just lose with all that CS.
Trashy: I don't really have a comeback since that actually happened, but it usually goes better when we play carries in scrims. But I've always been a jungler that likes playing more engage champs and champs that can set your team up. So back when we had a lot of success in Summer we used that style a lot, and I think it's the best style for us, though we can play all styles.
Is it easier as a top laner to pick up carry champions when it's your jungler's job to support you?
Wunder: It's hard to say. I can play tank top laners and we can play carry junglers, but it feels like you can get more done in the game when you're fed as top laner compared to a jungler. Even though jungle is a strong role, but it's impacting lanes more than the other way around. But you can impact jungle as well and invade and get the jungler ahead, but I don't think it impacts as much as the top laner.
How important is top lane and jungle synergy?
Wunder: I think the word "synergy" is a little weird, because all that matters is that both of you know what to do in-game and what you need from each other. All of this is decided beforehand, like how we want to impact top lane and what we can do in the 2v2 top/jungle. Then it's all about communication and talking about when you need each other, and I think Wunder and I are pretty good with that.
What are your thoughts on Maokai at the moment?
Wunder: I've played two games of Maokai this split. I feel like you're fine, you can be ok, but you don't really impact the game. You kind of just sit in top lane and go team fight, and that's basically it.
Trashy: Actually every day before the Maokai nerf we'd go into scrims and I'd point out Maokai was open and Wunder would just be like "... nah". So yeah, I'm quite sure that for a lot of teams in the world Maokai is a great champion, but not for us.
Wunder: I'm not a top-tier Maokai player, but I'm also not bad at it. I just think that the way we play as a team he's not a good pick for me to play.
Is there any top lane champion you wish you could play more right now, Wunder?
Wunder: I guess Irelia, something off-meta like her or Akali. A champ that is viable, but you can lose really fast or win really fast, I feel like that's the type of champ that fits what I want to do in game.
Which one of you has the bigger champion pool?
Wunder: I think I have the bigger champion pool. It's also hard, right? I played jungle once and I know that there's only so many junglers you can play, and I think I exceed the amount of junglers that are viable.
Trashy: It would be really awkward if the jungler had a bigger champion pool I think.
Wunder: I don't know, maybe.
Trashy: Unless you're a tank only player.
Wunder: Oh yeah, but that isn't the case for me thankfully.
Is it worth ganking top lane right now?
Trashy: Yes I suppose it is, but not always. but It's extremely matchup dependent, you can't base a game off of top lane right now. Right now with champions like Renekton and Rumble in the meta, these champions can have a lot of impact if you use jungle pressure.
Wunder: Yeah, it's very matchup dependent. If I'm playing Shen into Poppy then maybe ganking top lane a lot isn't the way to go, but I think the champions we play - and that a lot of people play right now - ganking top lane can be good right now.
