text: Interesting article here Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz in talks on contract extension - ESPN I'm thinking Moose gets more than Favors and less than Cousins. I'm thinking 5 years $67.5M ($13.5M/yr), especially since Smith is making about $13.5M/yr. The problem is that the stupid Lakers may offer him a max deal that we are forced to match.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Random Hero
|Its not my fault you chose to be so damn good at them. Can't get enough of a good thing I guess
|^ More reviews? I thought I rode a pretty damn good amount this year. You guys are killing me, Killing me. And you're probably right on some aspects about the conditions depending on what the set up was.
|Random Hero
|The only usefull reviews I've ever read were written by Burton Avenger. I find them very informative and insightful. My only complaint would be that from what I remember he may have been more likely to dislike a board if the weather was generally worse and vice versa(sorry if I'm incorrect statistically its been a while since I read them, besides it just shows how important it is to show the conditions you rode the board in). The only thing that would make your reviews better would be if you had more of them, this way theres more of a chance you will have ridden a board I have, and I would have some actual experience with the product and be able to gauge how I feel compared to how you fell about a board.
I read reviews mainly to determine whether the board has adequate structural integrity.
Reviews can tell me if a board's paint job peels quickly or easily is chipped, and whether it breaks easily or not.
Then, I try to figure out if the reviewer has a similar style to me and judge from there.
But yeah, I agree, a lot of reviews are fluff.
Its posts like this that actually help me gauge what I can do to make my reviews better. I try to include what boot I was using, its size, the conditions, location, my weight (although I think I forgot to mention that when I posted up my stuff, but maybe I didn't),and the bindings I used.
I'd like to think I could ride a lunch tray down a hill if I had to. But when I take a board out I test for pop, edge hold, ability to rail a carve, speed, slow speed, butters, boost, torsional stiffness, longitudinal stiffness, bomb drop stability, trees, chop, moguls, pow (if available), how it rode in the conditions its meant for, how it rode in the conditions its not meant for. I then try to evaluate it for the average rider not the park kid or snowboard bum like myself. If you can think of ways I could improve how I do my reviews that'd be awesome.
|Your kidding right? While I agree many reviews are HUGE generalizations, the famous Burton Avenger has a @30 board review which meets all the demands you make in your post, ie. Snow, boot size, conditions....take a look.
Do You Find "Reviews" Helpful?
I have been on many forums for many years and i have always been a little mistified by snowboard reviews(or gear reviews in general)
To me they always seem to be very general, full of semi nonsense terms and phrases and not really useful. The whole thing is so subjective and you don't really know if the poster even knows what they are talking about. You can take a board such as the jamie lynn which is generally considered a stiff aggressive board and find reviews that is seemed "soft and playful". Conversely you will find people who say things like the rome artifact was "surprisingly stiff".
Also, what were the conditions it was used in? was the rider on familiar terrain? did they have their correct stance? were they using their bindings? how much time did they spend with the board? what boards have they rode in the past? how much do they ride? what do they weight? how aggressive are they?
was it a demo board? (frequently very soft due to many many hours of use) can you subjectively compare things like "pop" and "edgehold" if the two boards aren't ridden back to back in the same conditions in the same area?
my point is its highly subjective. every new board i get is always my favorite board and its rare i ride a board i don't like. in hindsight i can realize that i like a 160 uninc much more than a 160 rome agent (after owning them both) but does that mean the rome agent sucks? by no means, i just prefer the uninc.
a major indication that most reviews are worhtless is the wide variation in answers you will get if someone asks a question about certian boards like the banana. some people will rave about it, others will call it crap? who is right? well both of them, really. it can go either way depending on your , experience, preference, and maybe even how they rider was feeling that day
so i'm just curious if anyone on here has actually found any snowboard reviews actually helpful?

text: Hi, I grew up learning about beekeeping from my Polish grandfather 50 years ago. After I got married, grandpa gave all his bees and equipment to my husband. We kept bees for a few years, then lost them due to mites. Starting a business and raising a young family kept us busy so we put the gear away. Three years ago, we ordered a nuke, pulled the gear out and are looking to expand this year to three colonies. I have a 3/4 acre village lot (the house I grew up in), with a big kitchen garden and fruit trees. I bake bread, can food, make wine and sew. I like to camp, hike and kayak in the Adirondacks. I'm also a botanical photographer and a video/tv producer.

London Pleasure Gardens sees the transformation of the derelict, ex-industrial Pontoon Dock into a pleasure garden featuring round-the-clock music, arts, cafés and bars. The Gardens aim to revive the centuries-old tradition of pleasure gardens in London; in fact the Royal Docks had its own such garden between 1851 and 1884. Attractions include landscaped walkways, a wilderness meadow, RIBA-designed follies, street art by Shepard Fairey, RISK, Ron English and others graffiti legends, an oyster and champagne bar, two permanent music/arts venues, the 'harbour garden' installation made in collaboration with local community groups, and Silo D, a listed building with a purpose-built earthwork in front of it to accommodate audiences for projections, pyrotechnics shows and other events. Events scheduled over the summer include firework displays, music festivals and promenade performances.
London Pleasure Gardens Ltd has been placed into administration.The Joint Administrators understand that all events planned to take place were cancelled before their appointment and there are no plans to reinstate them at this time.

Lunchboxes of Japan
via bbc.co.uk
on 17 December 2011
Taking the art of food presentation to adorable new heights, a new mommy trend has cropped up in Japan. Lucky kids are dining on elaborate bento meals fashioned after Hello Kitty, Playstation remotes and even Michael Jackson. Actual classes are being held to teach mothers how to make their lunchtime masterpieces, some of which can take several hours to make.
Dubai's Electric Autonomous Volocopter Coming in 2017
via designboom.com
Between recognizing Dubai as a pioneer of urban innovation and understanding that the city is an ideal "extreme climate" testing ground for their autonomous electric multicopters, Germany's Volocopter will be launching a five-year-long test program there—starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. The made-in-Germany air taxis feature eighteen rotors and a fully redundant power train. Quiet and emission-free flying, the vehicles are deemed safe thanks to "an intelligent autonomous control system" according to designboom. Dubai hopes to have 25% of its population utilizing autonomous transportation by (as early as) 2030.
"NSFW Female Gaze" at the Museum of Sex
via elle.com
A new exhibition at NYC's Museum of Sex aims to analyze, present and promote the female sexual gaze through female-produced works with women as the subject. Titled "NSFW Female Gaze," it features a diverse range of body types, ethnicities and sexual identities (though, as Elle notes, the artists and subjects are limited in age range). The collection manages to make clear certain perspectives of female desire—from subversion of the norm to a simple reclamation of pornography. The exhibition runs now through 24 September. You can learn more at Elle.
Role-Reversal in Frog Mating Results in Singing
via sciencemag.org
Documented for the first time ever, the Bornean frog (scientifically known as Limnonectes palavanensis, but more commonly called the singing frog) has made a serious evolutionary change. Usually, male frogs serenade a female and she chooses the suitor of her liking to mate with, but a recent study has shown a complete role-reversal. Now, a single frog surrounded by singers is most likely to be a male being courted by females. Researchers are currently studying further to see if this is indicative of an entire sex-reversal, but say "judging by the high rate of female serenading, males may be the picky ones."

Photography App Predicts Where and When Natural Light Will Occur
via petapixel.com
An update to the much loved Photographer's Ephemeris sun-tracking app allows users, in essence, to watch a sunrise or sunset from the future—anywhere in the world. Known as the Photographer's Ephemeris 3D, the photographic assistance tool predicts where light will land on the ground—including shadows and other nuances—helping anyone looking to plan and prepare for a landscape photo shoot. The app breaks tracking down by the second and casts sunlight, moonlight and even starlight atop a 3D map with striking accuracy. It's currently available in the iOS app store for $20 in most nations, rolling out everywhere on 27 June. An upgrade pricing plan is also in development.
Industrial Design's Museum of Failures
via core77.com
From a rejuvenation mask that shocked the face with electric current to rental DVDs that stopped working after 48 hours and dozens of poorly conceived mobile phones, Dr Samuel West has curated quite the collection at Sweden's Museum of Failures. His goal, however, isn't to make a mockery of anyone. Rather, it's to convey lessons learned through failed product design. Big names (such as Apple and Ford) as well as many smaller design firms have stumbled and their mistakes deliver valid design information. The museum's exhibitions are presented in Swedish, English and German (soon) and West plans on hosting programs associated with failure in the near future, as well.
Urine Converted to Electricity at Glastonbury Festival
via bbc.com
Thanks to electro-active micro-organisms that feed on elements in urine and then produce electrons, bio-engineers at Bristol Robotics Lab have found a way to turn pee into electricity. A fuel cell pack developed by the scientists currently feeds on two liters of urine and, in turn, produces 30 to 40 milliwatts of power. This energy has been used to power smartphones (slowly), LCD displays and even lights. The system will be trialled at the upcoming Glastonbury Music Festival so that attendees can transform their pee to power.
Storing the World's Rarest Colors
via fastcodesign.com
When one thinks of valuable entities, commonly we lean toward precious stones, gold, or maybe even water. The Harvard pigment library, however, houses another priceless thing: rare colors, colors that people used to search the world to find. Narayan Khandekaris, the collection's custodian (and the director of the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies at the Harvard Art Museum), says the work is approached similarly to that of a forensic scientist, "We examine and find out what we can about the key compounds that will tell us the material's origin." Khandekaris discussed the stories behind 10 hues—Mummy Brown, Dragon's Blood and more—with FastCo.
Art Basel's Best Instagram Moments
via observer.com
If there's one thing we've all learned from art fair attendance, it's the unending opportunity for unique Instagram images one simply won't find elsewhere. With industry-leading Art Basel's 2017 Switzerland iteration wrapped, the best way to look back might just be through what people captured on social media and the Observer has compiled a strong list. While no Anish Kapoor selfies made the cut, artist Subodh Gupta's canopy of pots and pans certainly catches the eye—as does the colorful "Bruno & Yoyo" (2015) sculptures by Urs Fischer (a regular art fair Instagram winner). From octopuses to phallic symbols, there's a lot to see—head over to the Observer for more.
Fun and Games on the SpaceX Interplanetary Travel System
via mashable.com
As SpaceX works toward launching humans into space—first with astronauts to the International Space Station in the next few years, under contract with NASA which will yield incredibly valuable information in return—founder Elon Musk's vision extends beyond cost-saving, reusable rockets. In his master plan to take people to Mars, he's recently shared with the New Science journal that he hopes for a very comfortable, engaging flight on the months-long experience. "The crew compartment or the occupant compartment is set up so that you can do zero-gravity games—you can float around," Musk wrote, observed by Mashable. Further. "There will be movies, lecture halls, cabins, and a restaurant. It will be really fun to go."
India's Dr Seuss, Anushka Ravishankar
via atlasobscura.com
Today marks the last day of Children's Literature Week and while we can easily recall the milestone books of our own developmental years, authors continue to produce prose of exceptional merit. Anushka Ravishankar, commonly referred to as India's Dr Seuss, has long been a master of silliness—from her debut "Tiger on a Tree," which was translated into eight languages and sold 50,000 copies globally to her recently released collection of nonsense in verse "Hic!" Ravishankar has produced over 25 books with international independent Indian publisher Tara Books over the last 20 years. There's nothing like discovering an author, especially one that masterfully makes the magical more real. And rather than let Children's Literature Week pass unnoticed, perhaps pick up a new book, reconnect with an old one or go grab one for a child in your life.
New Zealand's Hidden Eighth Wonder of the World
via news.nationalgeographic.com
It is commonly believed—and supported by a five-year-study—that New Zealand's naturally-forming pink and white terraces (once referred to as the eighth wonder of the world) were destroyed in 1886 when Mount Tarawera erupted. Volcanic ash filled Lake Rotomaha causing irreparable damage to silica sinter quartz formations. However, according to a recent announcement in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand by researchers Rex Bunn and Sascha Nolden, this might not be true. Using a field diary of cartographer Ferdinand von Hochstetter, from 1859, they've been able to more accurately place the terraces—and believe them to be 30 to 50 feet below the lake's shore. It's up to New Zealand's Tuhuourangi tribal authority to decide whether or not to excavate some.
Marijuana as a Non-Profit Industry
via fastcompany.com
No longer a question of if, it's really a matter of when the US—like Canada—will legalize recreational marijuana use. As producers in states that have already embraced the bud can attest to, a commercial endeavor in the weed industry leads to competition, marketing and more. To prevent that from getting out of hand (in Canada) medical researcher Francois Gagnon has proposed a unique idea: "delete the demand-driven profitability part of the equation by establishing a non-profit model for distribution" led by a universal agency, according to Fast Company. This solves everything from insuring standards to controlling overt advertising. You can read more of Gagnon's plan at Fast Company.

Any plans for this week?

Recently there has been a lot of talk on whether we need an Architect on agile teams or not. There have been never-ending discussions on various forums both inside organizations and out in the public questioning the value that an architect can bring to the agile project where the architecture evolves with every iteration. This has led many traditional Architects to scramble for cover and opened gates for a new breed of architect, the Agile Architect. The traditional ivory tower Architects are gradually proving to be the weakest link in the chain for agile projects.
So who is an Agile Architect? How do you identify if the Architect on your team is an Agile Architect?
Well, the answer is not that simple; however there are some definite traits that point towards an Agile Architect. The interesting part is that an Agile Architect has to juggle these traits as a part of his daily work. If the architect on your team portrays all or most of the following traits, and you see him juggling them, then he is surely a good Agile Architect.
Let me warn you that the descriptions below may sound a bit idealistic, but they definitely form the goals that any Agile Architect would shoot for.
Primary goal of an Agile Architect: deliver a working solution with optimal quality.
There are two important aspects here. First, the solution should be of optimal quality . Ideally, within an agile project, the quality requirements (also called non-functional requirements) are a part of every iteration. Aspects like security, performance, code quality etc. are implicitly included as a part of a story or explicitly as a separate story in the iteration. However, many times the team working on the iteration gets so involved with the business functionality that the quality aspects take a back seat and slip through the cracks. The Agile Architect makes sure that the team has a feedback from the continuous integration environment which provides static code quality, performance statistics, etc. with every build. He keeps an eye on these statistics and quality attributes and continually brings them to the team's attention.
{sidebar id=1} Second, thesolution has to be a working solution . The Agile Architect evaluates various options with the team and works with the team to deliver a solution which works and generates business value. He makes sure that the solution not only works in isolation but also integrates well with the entire enterprise stack which is already in place at the client location. It is robust enough to be changed and extended over time. He focuses on the working solution, not on documents and management deliverables which don't contribute to the solution.
An Agile Architect maintains conceptual integrity.
He makes sure that, in the heat of the battle, the mission doesn't get lost. Working under the pressure of implementation schedules and technical hurdles, developers sometimes make decisions that cause a project to veer away from the business goals. The architect must make sure that the mission isn't undermined at any point in the development process.
Conceptual integrity is achieved when the system exhibits a consistent and unifying theme: everything seems to fit together seamlessly. It is the presence of uniformity and the absence of radical designs in different parts of the system. An example would be the drag-and-drop metaphor found in most operating systems. If the system was design with conceptual integrity then drag-and-drop should just work everywhere. For instance, opening a file would just involve dragging it to the appropriate application; deleting a file would involve dragging it to the trash. In short, conceptual integrity creates an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain system with little surprises.
An Agile Architect works on the team, literally.
He is involved during the entire duration of the project. He signs up for programming tasks and implements stories just like any programmer. Implementing stories may not take his entire work day, but is a definite portion of each day.
He applies his experience throughout the project and directs the architecture through its evolution. The architecture is not completed during the first few iterations but it keeps evolving with each iteration, which means that unlike traditional architects,

Concrete supporters are very clever, too, framing their case around the publicly popular and politically correct term "sustainability." (For details, see "Asphalt vs. concrete: the fight to pave our roads.") Who's going to argue against that? But based on your feedback, the messaging doesn't address an equally important factor for the men and women left behind once the paving crews leave: convenience.
The Feb. 29 edition of our e-newsletter asked recipients, "Which pavement material — asphalt or concrete — do you prefer and why?" (See poll results at left.) Virtually all asphalt supporters said it's easier to place and maintain. Those two features are a huge advantage when you're trying to make ends meet and don't have high volume.
Similarly, virtually all concrete supporters mentioned longevity. Several said it's easy to maintain "if installed correctly," is more readily recycled, and can be made porous. (Actually, both asphalt and concrete have been used to make permeable pavement; see "The trickle-down effect" from our May 2007 issue.)
Someone said that asphalt longevity seems to have decreased, which I assume means the respondent senses a decline in asphalt quality. I don't know if that's true or not, but if record-breaking attendance and seminar ticket sales at last month's World of Asphalt are anything to go by, asphalt's more popular than ever. That or after years of budget cutting, managers can no longer safely postpone major improvements. (By the way, next year's World of Asphalt is scheduled for March 19 – 21 in San Antonio.)
Whatever your preference, you might want to check out the National Pavement Contractors Association at www.pavementpro.com. Formed in 2000, the organization provides a free membership database that's searchable by zip code; sample specifications for things like parking lot striping, asphalt repair, and crack-sealing; and online forums on paving and repairs to sweeping to sealcoating and infrared. They're aimed at contractors, but since many of you self-perform such work you're basically one of them.
Or plan to attend next year's National Pavement Expo Jan. 24 – 26 in Nashville, Tenn.

Editor in Chief


text: I was just recently given a set of waders from a friend. The only problem is that they do not have the boots on them like most waders have. I wanted to duck hunt in them in the next few days, and was just wondering what kind of fix I may be able to do in order to be able to hunt in them. Would just wearing an old pair of boots with them be ok for just a hunt or two? Any help would be much appreciated!

Two University of Utah twins are on a quest to change the perception of beauty.
Lexie and Lindsay Kite, 27, say tackling the stereotypes of what makes a woman beautiful has become their life's work. They are in the process of completing doctoral dissertations on topics pertaining to physical health and body image and self-objectification.
The Kites recently launched a non-profit charity, Beauty Redefined, with the motto "Taking back beauty for females everywhere." And they've traveled the nation speaking with thousands of people while presenting their message of true beauty and positive body image.
"We use these messages to solely uplift and empower women," she said. "We think women can accomplish so much [when they're not focused on their appearance]."
Perhaps it's fitting the Salt Lake City residents live in the same city that Forbes Magazine once named the most vain in the nation.
"We see women going to great lengths to try to change their own appearances to [conform] with the [media's] ideals," said Lindsay Kite during a recent interview.
The sisters recently hosted an event at a Salt Lake City middle school to raise awareness of the issue.
But overcoming deeply embedded stereotypes has been challenging. The youthful and attractive Kite sisters have themselves faced a form of bigotry in their crusade.
"We definitely had experienced both sides of that stereotype," Kite said.
She said people who don't know them assume they're pushing their message because they're fat and ugly. When people see what they look like, they face such questions as "How would they know anything about feeling bad?"
"It's often the women who are closest to the ideal that feel the furthest away," Kite said. "They learn to value themselves solely for their appearance. We really can't win. It wouldn't matter what our bodies look like. We just need to get out of solely judging women on their appearance and judging them on their message."
She said the profit-driven media has promoted a tall and super-slim body type, which is not the norm, and wrinkle-free faces. While women aren't allowed to age naturally, men are considered distinguished when they get wrinkles and start turning gray, she said.
Women over 40 are rarely featured in entertainment and when they are, they're often cast in a villain-type role, Kite said.
She said these portrayals set a harmful standard for youth who often grow up feeling subpar, particularly about what she terms "body shame."
When women feel disgusted with their bodies, it often leads to extremes skipping meals, running just a little bit longer on the treadmill to shed a few more pounds or even eating disorders, Kite said.
Overweight women may be reluctant to get involved in physical activities because of fears they'll be judged by others as too fat to work out, they'll sweat too much, or turn too red from all the exertion.
One thing Kite said she's found success with in her own life is trying to focus on positive attributes rather than thinking or saying negative things about her own body.
"I learned when I stopped saying bad things about myself, it made it a lot easier to stop thinking them," she said.

There is a certain kind of mortification that happens when you can't lift the weights up over your head in water aerobics—not because you lack the strength—but because your swimsuit gained inches while you were trying to lose them. Further, you're afraid parts of yourself will escape if you raise your arms too high.
The key to choosing the right swimsuit for the right occasion doesn't have to be an exercise in torture or the essay in cruelty often found in fluorescent-lit changing rooms. Simply put, if you plan to exercise in a chlorinated pool, we recommend that you choose your suit not just for support and ease of movement, but that you also pay close attention to the various fabrics that are designed to withstand pool chemicals. The key word to look for when choosing a suit for pool exercise is: chlorine-resistant.
Essentially, chlorine-resistant means exactly what you think it does. The fabric, or blend of fabrics, is designed to allow the swimsuit to not only keep its color, but to retain its shape, too.
Women have long had secret love affairs with Spandex, so when choosing a swimsuit for exercise, keep that love affair alive and look for a suit that has a small percentage of Spandex (or Lycra®) combined with a larger percentage of a polyester material. This fabric blend combines to help keep the suit resistant to fading much longer than if you were to buy a swimsuit not made with chlorine-resistance in mind. The added bonus to buying a chlorine-proof swimsuit is that your investment will hold its shape longer. Such a swimsuit should also allow you to move easily in the water and to feel protected. And all ladies know that swimsuits and other fashion favorites that once fit like a glove, but now make us feel vulnerable and not at our best, quickly find their place in the rubbish bin.
There are numerous chlorine resistant swimsuit designs that help you look and feel your best while working out your body and soul: racer backs, keyhole backs, and tankinis can help you to feel sporty and powerful. But the care you take in choosing your chlorine-resistant swimsuit also helps you to feel like a smarty.
Share with us a time when you felt powerful in your swimwear. And if you haven't yet felt that power, what are you going to do to go out and get it?next article >>

The line between pure natural and organic honey is so broad we will never be able to cross it.If the honey gets as much red tape and scrutiny in the testing of it for organic as the rules do, there is no organic honey on earth. JMONatural honey is a different story.doak
I also say this honey is like the honey you grand pa used to eat.
Thats right they did use Fermaldahyde also to stuff dead people and to make glue for particle board there is alot of people and other creatures that can attest to the benefits of chemicals.In fact the grave yard is full of them.What honey would you like to eat?Chemical infused honey or honey from a hive that hasn't had any put in.All that polluted honey is also in bread and the cherrios people eat.I know which one I prefer.Which one do you prefer?kirko
How many insects do we harvest a crop from?We"medicate " mosquitos ;)
If all the wild bees are surviving around here they never came to visit my gardens much
where is the data on feral hives? That may be the missing link. I don't know about your part of the country but very few honey bees are seen around here except for in the vicinity of beekeepers.Mostly bumbles,wasps,yellow jackets and the like.If all the wild bees are surviving around here they never came to visit my gardens much
Feral is when they are not in the care of a person. Bees in your hive are domestic. If they swarm they are feral. If you catch that swam or cut them out later then they are domestic again. I guess the real question would be if/when do they become wild?

Tomas Rosicky, Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker and new signing Lukas Podolski will be travelling to Lagos with Club officials for a flying visit the weekend after next. The players will take part in Club events and other activities organised by the Club's partners, Malta Guinness and Airtel.

Arsenal's head of global partnerships Vinai Venkatesham said: "We were disappointed to have to postpone the game and intend to visit Nigeria next summer. However we are delighted to be bringing this group of players to Nigeria to take part in events with our regional partners. It will give us a chance to engage with local supporters and reinforce our commitment to the market."
The players will take part in a busy schedule of events in Lagos. Emmanuel Agu, marketing manager for (Malta) Guinness Nigeria plc commented: "Malta Guinness is the Official Malt Drink of Arsenal in Nigeria and we are looking forward to welcoming the Arsenal players to Lagos.
"We are sure that they will have a most enjoyable visit as they experience the energy and vitality of their Nigerian fans. Over the next few days, we will be announcing how fans of the nation's No 1 malt drink - Malta Guinness - can enjoy not only the goodness of our new lower sugar variant, but also win the opportunity to interact and get involved with their idols at a number of exclusive events during their stay. You can get more information by going to www.facebook.com/maltaguinness."
The players will also be making appearances for mobile network operator Airtel. Deepak Srivastava, chief operating officer and executive director for Airtel Nigeria, said: "Arsenal has a very large supporter base in Nigeria and Airtel is eager to connect these fans with some of their favourite football players.
"Indeed, Airtel is extremely committed to creating opportunities to excite and engage telecommunications consumers just as we are passionate about realising our brand vision of being the most-loved brand in the daily lives of Nigerians."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Kendall & Caleb's love story, as told by Kendall:
"There was no exquisite "meeting", no glance across a room that left us wandering toward one another, but from the moment we found each other, we knew it was fate.
I had recently given up on dating and though I knew what I wanted, it seemed impossible to find. San Diego seemed to lack genuine guys and I had enough of the games that came along with dating. I was in the midst of really focusing on myself, and had all but intended for it to stay that way; at least I thought so. My heart knew better and I returned to online dating. Anyone who knows me would agree that I am picky; I know what I want, and what I don't want. I certainly didn't want to meet someone in a bar and had no patience to just believe it would happen when the "time was right". So, I found myself back to browsing profiles- but I had no interest in e-mailing or getting to know anyone. Until I saw Caleb's profile. It was the first one that I actually read, top to bottom, and even then, assumed it wouldn't work and I clicked out of his profile. I instantly thought, "you should really e-mail him". It was Veterans Day (11.11.11) and I panicked as I pressed the back button and couldn't get to his page. I eventually found it, and had no idea I was introducing myself to someone who would later become my husband; nor did he know he had just received a message from his future wife.
Caleb, on the other hand, had never ventured into online dating, but he was transplanted into a new city, in a new state, and was looking for people to meet. He didn't get very far. I was the first and last person he met.
After that initial message, we e-mailed each other a few times before we took to our phones. From the first time we texted, we never stopped. Caleb left a few days later to go to Washington for two weeks. It seemed as if we texted each other the entire time he was gone as well. We got along so well, and never ran out of things to say. I have never enjoyed getting to know someone so much. There was really no other option, but for the two of us to meet. And so we did. I picked him up from the airport on November 27th, 2011, and after a wonderful day of visiting the U.S.S. Midway, dinner, and a walk on the beach, we both knew we were looking at the rest of our lives."
I absolutely love Kendall and Caleb's love story! I knew from Kendall's first email to me that I would like this bride simply because she used the phrase "holy Toledo" in her email. I really enjoyed how honest and open she was about her wedding plans and I was so happy to be able to work with her and create a custom package specifically tailored to her wishes. She was always so easy going whenever we met or spoke and even on her wedding day! It was the cherry on top to receive this review from her after the big day had come and gone:
"When I began looking at wedding venues over a year ago, I had no idea what I wanted- all I knew was that I wanted spacious and elegant.
I found Sycuan Resort's Facebook page which showed me beautiful weddings that had been there in the past. I thought golf courses were super expensive (at least the ones I had looked at were!) but when I contacted Ashley for a quote, I was so surprised to find out it was well within our budget. We weren't having a huge wedding, but were planning on a 100 guests, and I knew serving dinner would be pricey, but when I got the final quote back, I was so happy. My husband and I went and looked at the venue, we walked out to the car, and I went back in immediately to sign a contact and lock in my date. I knew that was where I wanted to say, "I do".
Working with Ashley and the Hotel staff was amazing. Everyone was so generous, and professional. I ended up needed more hotel rooms than I had originally blocked off, and the hotel staff was accommodating to make sure everyone who needed to stay, stayed at the discounted price.
Ashley was above amazing. I had never planned a wedding before, so when I would e-mail her and ask her my spontaneous, sometimes off-the-wall questions, she would be there to help without an issue.
Everything about Sycuan was picture perfect. Not to mention all the beautiful locations on-site you can even TAKE wedding photos."
Vendors booked for their beautiful day:

Veteran decorator sets up shop in Amherst
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | April 08. 2013 7:46PM
With 35 years of design experience, Mb Lincoln of My Feathered Nest in Amherst, knows how to put things together to create a living space with style and personality. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER PHOTO)
Lincoln, who has recently purchased her own home in the historic Amherst Village and is currently renovating the space, has been decorating for 35 years. Her parents and grandparents were all entrepreneurs who shared with her a knack for business, and her sense of style carried her through a fascinating career. She worked as a buyer for the Filene's department stores, and when her kids were born, moved into the world of home decorating.
After a break from decorating to work in the schools while her kids were in their teens, Lincoln woke up to a quickly emptying nest and realized it was time to get back to what she loved. Her home renovation project sent her into the stores and design centers, but she couldn't find everything she wanted in one place, so she decided to open My Feathered Nest.
"Hopefully people are looking for what I have," she said.
The shop reflects Lincoln's taste, which tends to be eclectic with room for both whimsy and formality.
"I don't [have] rules," she said. "I can tell what goes together and what doesn't, but there aren't any hard and fast rules."
She believes furniture should last and retain its appeal long after a current fad has passed. In that vein, she also incorporates a mix of antiques - pieces that have proven their staying power.
But to give a home a burst of personality, Lincoln shoots for the whimsical. Lamp shades made out of leaves, rich wool rugs in vivid patterns, fanciful clocks, contemporary chandeliers, even an occasional bird's next add a bit of uniqueness.
Lincoln also provides a wide array of gift items, from scented wax bowls and candles, to knickknacks and stuffed animals. And she offers design and decorating services, which are quickly becoming a growing segment of her business.
"The shop gives people an idea of what I'm capable of," said Lincoln.

Axona is a prescription dietary supplement that claims to target the nutritional needs of people with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's is thought to hinder the brain's ability to break down glucose. According to Axona's marketing materials, the supplement provides an alternative energy source that the brain can use instead of glucose.
It's not clear what benefits, if any, Axona provides. A small study, funded by the manufacturers of the product, found that memory and cognition improved for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. However, more studies are needed to determine its safety and effectiveness.
Axona is marketed as a medical food. Medical foods are specially formulated and processed foods that help manage a disease or condition that causes nutritional deficiencies. The Alzheimer's Association, however, disputes the notion that Alzheimer's disease causes nutritional deficiencies and requires a medical food.
Medical foods are given only under the supervision of a doctor. The Food and Drug Administration doesn't require the same high level of approval for medical foods as it does for prescription medications.
Until more is known, the Alzheimer's Association doesn't recommend the use of medical foods, including Axona, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

* sold *2000 Cherokee 4.5" lift - 31" muds / Ravines with bumpers and winch. $2600.00
I don't want to do this, but I have 3 xj's and 6 other cars, so I should probably try to thin the herd.
This is a 2000 Cherokee with the following parts:
Rough country shortarm 4.5" lift, Full Traction 4" rear springs, Full traction u-bolt plates with bump stop adapters, daystar shackles, stainless longer brake lines, Nates 4x4 front slimline winch bumper, JCR rear bumper, homemade rocker protection and transfer case skid, skyjacker rear shocks (worst riding shocks I've ever bought) Rough country trackbar, rugged ridge oversize tie rod, all ball joints were replaced with moog, newer rear oxygen sensor, newer crank sensor, drag link was a Duralast, replaced track bar end once with newer es140r, replaced both front axle seals and pinion seals front and rear, Jegs performance exhaust, Smittybuilt XRC8 winch, Hella lights on front bumper, rare console delete option
and a bunch more.
This jeep has MANY faults... I still love it and drove it every day. I have parked it both (maybe three) of the winters I have owned it. It's been to the Badlands, to the Mounds several times, and to OSTC I think all 3 times this site went. It has around 205k miles on it and it shows...
It squeaks and rattles like nothing I've driven before. I drove it 3 hours each way to our cottage almost every weekend last summer. I may just delete this thread and keep it for this summer.
Here's what I would do to it to fix it back up:
Put front sway bar back on, replace rear shocks with hydros, check it over from front to back (steering is feeling really loose again) will need an a/c clutch (this one slips and stinks, but we had a/c all day at the badlands
) probably needs trans mount and both motor mounts (it shudders pretty bad upon hard accel) motor is noisy and has been since I got it 45000 miles ago. It warms up and is quieter, and different viscosities of oil change the noises, but it rattles like all hell when it is cold. Never had to add any oil between changes though. Right front tire will lose air and needs to be filled once a month or so when it sits... Needs a Slip Yoke Eliminator - I just ignored any vibes... front driveshaft could use a rebuild.
It has your usual trail scratches and rust at the bottom of the driver's door. The drip rail is pushed in at the pass rear door.
That's pretty much it - I am always as honest as possible when I sell something. now for the business...
Asking $2600.00 I am firm on price.
NO TRADES unless it is large, army green, and was once owned by the military. Trades are subject to spousal approval.
This is NOT a part out ad... I can not sell parts.

Factory manual page 3-13 "SAE80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil". Also see: http://www.lubrizol.com/DrivelineAdditives/AutomotiveGearOil/GL5.html for GL-4 vs GL-5.
OK, you are wrong. GL-4 (or gear oil rated for GL-4 and GL-5) should be used in the Raider. GL-5 should not be used because -- well. it's hard to believe -- GL-5 can actually cause premature wear of the kind of materials used in the gears. GL-5 will literally eat up softer metals like the brass syncros in a gearbox (I know the Raider doesn't have them, that's an example). Use- GL-5 at your own risk.
you know i gonna say amsoil, amsoil, amsoil. and when dd amsoil come out? 1972...mobil one? 1975

Hi, I saw an MSR Miox last night and have a few questions. Does anyone here own one or use one? If you do, do you like it? Would it be a good thing for a BOB, backpacking, camping, or those times when the water is questionable? I was thinking of buying one as the price seemed right, but figured I would ask here first before getting one.
Here is a link to one site about it, if I buy one I'll buy locally (and yes it is the military model I'm looking at (though the only difference seems to be the color and the pouch it is in) :)

arizona small cellers also state that the bees exhibit the ability to rear worker bees and queen bees using the eggs of laying workers in honey bee colonies (thelytoky) as well as swarms moving in and "requeening" colonies (nest usurpation). Both these are african bee traits. oh, and also, they test positive for african on morphometric tests, especially wing length & cell size. dave de Jong has been saying for years the answer to most beekeeping problems is to mix in african stock. they keep the hives filled with bees, have much less trouble with predators. now it is entirely possible the arizona small cellers have selected non-agressive african bees. no one doubts that possiblility. what SEEMS impossible is that they could be SURROUNDED by african swarms, have swarms moving into their hives, have workers raising queens from their own eggs, that they are naturally smaller -- AND these aren't african bees? could say more, but who wants to get sued
I have seen no proof of anything. none. just hearsay. show me one believable side by side study that shows that bees do worse on normal comb than hives on some other size comb. show meherve

I'm still waiting for the accurate Microswitch (look at the BGHunter thread for one!), clear Perspex for the rangefinder and the smoked one for the visor, I'll buy the cheese head screws next week :)
Here is what I have so far, a real Casio MQ-1 (which used to work...), a real borden connector, some genuine #15 Hedstrom files (thank you Evilhemmes! ) and a real Polaroid SX-70 viewfinder piece:

"This site is easy to use and offers a wide variety of quality designs from which to create your own "spin". The combination of rich colors, high grade paper and flawless printing result in a product that truly stands out above the rest!"
"The design really stands out and the Tiny Prints editor was able to customize the cards and place an image on the back instead of the logo. They turned out really cool!"
"Very pleased with the quality and professional look of this card. Images were clear, plenty of text space for information and fun colors to work with. Great card with amazing service."
"These cards are AMAZING! Everybody I give my cards to are amazed, by how nice they look. I had one person say they`ve never seen a card quite like this one. A few more people said they look like matches, which is cool too. I also got the pearl embellishments which is a great touch! All in all these cards are great!! I will definitely be buying more!!"
"Outstanding card design and print quality. Get reviews all the time, notice people actually "feel" the weight of the paper and look at the card, it gets their attention. Received multiple compliments. Only drawback is on the "logo" area of the design page is seems a bit small, actually trimmed my logo a bit when I ordered a set, nothing noticeable but I knew."

Quick GuideBreast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
What Is Different About Breast Cancer in Younger Women?
Diagnosing breast cancer in younger women (under 40 years old) is more difficult because their breast tissue is generally more dense than the breast tissue in older women. By the time a lump in a younger woman's breast can be felt, the cancer often is advanced.
In addition, breast cancer in younger women may be aggressive and less likely to respond to treatment . Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age are more likely to have a mutated (altered) BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
Delays in diagnosing breast cancer also are a problem. Many younger women who have breast cancer ignore the warning signs -- such as a breast lump or unusual discharge -- because they believe they are too young to get breast cancer.
Many women assume they are too young to get breast cancer and tend to assume a lump is a harmless cyst or other growth. Some health care providers also dismiss breast lumps in young women as cysts and adopt a "wait and see" approach.
Can Breast Cancer in Younger Women Be Prevented?
Although breast cancer may not be prevented, early detection and prompt treatment can significantly improve a woman's chances of surviving breast cancer. More than 90% of women whose breast cancer is found in an early stage will survive.
When women learn at a young age about the risks and benefits of detecting breast cancer early, they are more likely to following the recommendations regarding clinical exams and mammograms . Young women also need to understand their risk factors and be able to discuss breast health with their health care providers.
Should Women Under Age 40 Get Mammograms?
In general, regular mammograms are not recommended for women under 40 years old, in part, because breast tissue tends to be more dense in young women, making mammograms less effective as a screening tool. In addition, most experts believe the low risk of developing breast cancer at a young age does not justify the radiation exposure or the cost of mammography. However, screening mammograms may be recommended for younger women with a family history of breast cancer and other risk factors.

congratulations on this attractive new bulletin board for dancers.
please don't think this is a rude question, because really it is just naive (probably!): i wonder if you could tell me why your board looks almost identical to (the very good) Ballet Talk bulletin board at http://www.balletalert.com?
i assume the answer has to do with something like using the same software? if so, could you divulge what the software is - it is very clean-looking, functional and explanatory.
Thankyou, and good luck with this site - grace. p.s the 'a' is missing out of 'message' in your header -sorry for noticing!
...Azlan (who's usually not paranoid)
Thanks for introducing yourself. I have a habit of taking risks and already registered myself before your post.
I think this website is a great idea. I am not a dancer per se but I was talking to a dancer friend this morning and we agreed that we needed a bulletin board for dancers. And, lo and behold, yours popped up. Thanks.
Ok, I'll introduce myself. My name is Jnoathan Atkinson, and my partner in dance and in business is Melissa Winogrand. We are both ballroom dance teachers and competitors, and we now run two websites: Ballrooomdancers.com and DanceTalk.com.
DanceTalk was originally conceived as the message board for Ballroomdancers.com, but we realized that we could get much more activity and discussion if we involved other websites. So we've decided to make this a community board.
You may see me post messages as Waltz123, Administrator, or BDC Webmaster. I choose my handle based on the nature of the post. If I'm answering questions about DanceTalk, I'll pst as Administrator. If I'm answering questions in the BDC forum, I'll answer as webmaster for that site. If I'm just participating in the discussion as a user, I'll use my personal handle, Waltz123.
The registration process is something that came with the software that powers this message board. As you can see, I've configured it to accept non-members, so you don't need to register if it makes you nervous to submit your email address. But if it makes you feel more secure, I have no intention of using the email addresses for any other purpose than contacting a member when necessary.
I hope that helps. I'll probably put our bio up on both websites sometime soon. I've been told that it is a good idea by others, too.

text: Thank you everyone! I don't know if anyone else experienced this with their Pradas but mine were SO uncomfortable. The area right over my arch KILLED my feet within minutes. They were virtually unwearable. I've never had an issue with my arch before so I'm not sure what the deal was here. I took them in to have them stretched and the guy told me it wouldn't work. He was right. It didn't. So I was fortunate enough to meet someone who's been a shoe repairman for 30 years. He told me it was no problem at all. He gently stretched them over a period of a week and WOW...yeah...they are like slippers now! One more Zam issue solved!

Raw garlic consumption may help limit the damage done to the heart after surgery because if its natural antioxidant properties, according to a new study published in BMC Pharmacology.
After a heart attack it is important to restore the flow of blood to the heart so that damage to the heart muscle can be minimised. However, the return of blood flow can paradoxically cause further damage, so called "ischemic-reperfusion injury, due to the release of free radicals. Free radicals cause oxidative stress to the heart cells, resulting in reduced cardiac function and irreversible tissue injury. This can be potentially fatal to patients undergoing heart surgery to remove clots or repair heart defects.
Antioxidants, which can "mop up" free radicals before they do any harm, have been shown to reduce the severity of damage to the heart. However, the therapeutic use of antioxidants is limited by their toxicity. In light of several recent studies showing that garlic can limit the depletion of natural heart antioxidants, a research team from India designed a study to investigate whether garlic could protect against oxidative stress in rats.

I've been taking reporter calls in the run up to today's Microsoft Build announcements about Windows 8.1 Preview. They want to know: Will this be the turn around? What does Microsoft have to do to succeed? I'm pleased to say that last October Forrester predicted that Windows 8 would have a bumpy birth year, but would eventually mature and take hold in 2014 as Microsoft moved to update Windows on an annual cycle. Further, we were very clear that reports of Windows' death were greatly exaggerated.
Today's new details on Windows 8.1 show that Microsoft is on track for updating Windows annually, that they're engaged in significant product improvements and they are listening to market feedback. There were a ton of improvements and new built-in apps. Among all the details, three were the most significant to advancing Windows:
· Smart Search. By combining Bing's web search with search across my devices and Skydrive, search becomes more relevant and personal. We'll be watching to see how third-party developers can use this and where Microsoft goes with it. Very interesting.
· Making Windows desktop modern and more synergistic. The tweaks to allow the desktop background underneath the Start Screen and the return of the Start button make it feel a little less like I'm running two PCs in one, but the difference is still jarring.

Heidi Klum is far from shy - as evident by her recent online bottom-barring photos - and it turns out the person snapping those shots is someone who has seen the supermodel's backside since its debut!
Access Hollywood caught up with the "America's Got Talent" judge in New York City on Tuesday, where she dished on the identity of her shutterbug for recent shots, like her July 4th trip to the Bahamas.
"You will be surprised when you hear that my mom takes most of the photos," she told Access. "Yeah, my mom and dad. They were on holiday. Yes, so my mom can take some good photos."
PHOTOS: Stars In Their Underwear
The German model and "Project Runway" host explained that her heritage lends itself to being a little freer when it comes to nudity.
"And I'm European. I don't like wearing tops," Heidi told Access. "And I don't like tan lines."

Presenting 4 Pretend Play Ideas (Using Puppets!)
October 16, 2012 at 4:13 pm melissaanddoug 1 comment
This week on the Melissa & Doug blog, we have been discussing the many ways to embrace make-believe play with your child! From new worlds, exciting adventures, and creative arts and crafts, a child's imagination is truly limitless. As a parent, you can play an exciting (and important!) role in helping your child in her imaginary play, while helping build social skills, problem-solving skills, confidence, abstract thinking, and more.
One popular pretend play tool is puppets. For centuries, people have been using puppetry for entertainment and storytelling, and these props can help foster some powerful imaginative thinking while also exploring important emotional and language skills. Here are 4 easy activities you can do with your child involving these fascinating, funny-looking friends.
1. When I Grow Up….
What does your child want to be when he or she gets older? A fireman? Teacher? Astronaut?! Using puppets, you can explore your child's aspirations and dreams in a light and creative way. We encourage you to grab a puppet yourself, and enter the activity with your child for further bonding. Here are some tips for how this activity could work:
1) Have each puppet represent "what I want to be when I grow up" Then, take turns with your child asking a series of questions about what your puppet "does" every day. This may help your child further explore what appeals to them about a certain dream.
2) For a fun guessing game, ask your child not to reveal the profession of their puppet. Then, have the child provide a series of "clues" that will help you uncover what it is! (For example: this person wears a blue outfit, takes temperatures, and makes people feel better.)
3) Talk to your child about what you wanted to be when you "grew up" and what future possibilities you think lie ahead of you. By sharing openly with your child, you'll be furthering encouraging them to do the same—while feeling comfortable doing so.
2. Puppet Cooking Show
What wonderful recipes does your little chef conjure-up? In this play activity from Blog Ambassador Valerie, you can work with your child on storytelling skills, counting skills, language skills, and more! Click here for the full creative play activity.
3. Make-Your-Own-Monster
Making puppets can be easy – and a great way to help your child embrace their silly, creative side. You can use anything from socks, to felt, to our own Make Your Own Monster Puppet, which contains fuzzy and fun interchangeable parts for a weird and wacky creation. Here are some ways to play and learn using a puppet created by your child:
– Ask the child to give the name the puppet, and explain why that particular name was chosen
– Ask your child to ask the puppet questions and have the child answer using a unique puppet voice
– Create a story or a scene that the child can act out with the puppet and write-down for future use!
4. The Puppet Theater
What better way to boost your child's confidence than with a talent or comedy show? Putting on shows and plays is a wonderful part of childhood, and with a few puppet friends your child can have a host of characters for whatever they conjure-up. Check out this blog post for a puppet show "Comedy Hour" activity your child will love!
What are some ways your child plays with puppets? Send us your ideas and photos to email@example.com.

Oguzhan Ozyakup admits he owes a debt of gratitude to Robin van Persie.
The 19-year-old arrived at Arsenal as a scholar from AZ Alkmaar in 2008 and has barely looked back since, making his first-team debut in the Carling Cup two weeks ago.
Club captain Van Persie has taken the young midfielder under his wing and Ozyakup says his compatriot is a real 'father figure' to him in the current Arsenal squad.
"To be honest it is mostly Robin [who I look up to] because he is Dutch and he really looks after me outside of football as well," Ozyakup told Arsenal.com.
"There are more off-field things as well and I am really, really happy he looks after me like this. I never expected him to help me that much but I am really thankful that he does that for me.
"Obviously on his Twitter feed he says little things like congratulations - it is those little things he does that are perfect and what I look up to.
"The Manchester United game when I was on the bench he said, 'when you come on I know you can do anything with the ball but without it make sure the tackles are for you'," recalled Ozyakup. "He gives you little tactics and it is unbelievable."
Ozyakup will be hoping for another taste of Carling Cup football [LINK] when Bolton visit Emirates Stadium in two weeks' time but beyond that he could follow the traditional route for young Gunners and head out on loan.
"I don't know what is going to happen. Obviously I want to play in the first team regularly but it depends what is happening there," he said.
"I would like to go out and play somewhere every week and to play every game."

Can it be your doctors fault
I am a hypothyroid patient. I had done a lot of research when i got to know i was pregnant. Many of the websites suggested to visit your doctor ASAP. So i called my primary physician to make an appointment but he said it's not required and i just need to continue taking my medicine. But after 8 weeks during my sonogram my doctor said that it is anembryonic ovum and that i will have to do a d and c. So could this be because i didn't get myself checked when i should have? How can you completely trust your doctors if so?
4th March 2014 07:13 AM #2
Dear sonu84,
I'm sorry that your doctor did not see you. I think a review by your doctor would have been wise once you knew you were pregnant; incase your medication needed to be adjusted. It's so important to be able to trust the medical professionals who support us - is there another doctor you could see in your next pregnancy? If not, could you insist on an appointment once pregnant to put your mind at rest that your condition is still being managed appropriately.
I have just responded to your other post about you sadly having a blighted ovum (anembryonic pregnancy). In this case the pregnancy would sadly never develop (with a blighted ovum only the pregnancy sac develops but no embryo inside it). Therefore, in this case I would say that there was unfortunately not anything that could have been done and this pregnancy was never going to continue to develop.
I hope this at least puts your mind at rest that you could not have done anything to help the pregnancy to continue. I know it is a small consolation when you are grieving.
Warm wishes,

I always had that in my mind, what if I would have been checked by my doctor, could it be avoided. Thank you so much LJ for clarifying it. I have already visited my primary physician waiting for my gynecologist appointment.
5th March 2014 07:01 AM #4
You are really welcome sonu84. I'm pleased to hear you already have a gynecologist appointment booked.
Wishing you all the very best - I look forward to hearing how you are getting on.
Warm wishes,

Honestly I was a Coop vs AI player for the longest time (until about December in Season 3 then I started playing PvP games and started Ranked around Jan/Feb last year~). I would say it does help, it's not the fastest way, but as olaph said, it's an easy, less stressful way to play (I was honestly very casual and my friends would play AI games wit mi just to teach mi stuff).
Watching pro games like the LCS definitely helps with the overall map awareness and objective play, but honestly there are some people who no matter how much coaching they receive, will never learn to play well. It's mostly an ego problem. You can't improve if you don't think you need improvement (e.g. World record for number of XXX champ = best).
Your friends sound like the latter category. Maybe they just don't know better, or maybe they're just toxic/ignorant. Just try teaching them, if they don't listen repeatedly, I'd honestly just advise you to NOT play with them anymore until they wisen up, as people with ego issues tend to make the game miserable for everyone (and since you're queueing with them, that means all the time for you).

most likely they feel they are right because its 2(or more) against you. if you can gather some friends who are "higher elo" (plat and up) you can easily isolate them by shoving one of them into a game with you and some "higher" friends and when you are going: "if you had done this <...> " or " you should have bought <..> becaus >...<"" and you are getting back up by the others (thus creating a 2vsoneofthem environment paired with the "highereloyoucantreach") they are more likely to see the fault/give in

Few things you just cant explain
Just playing my casual ranked game. Doing pretty much nothing in my lane, roaming like 24/7 because
This Viktor is someone you see on a street and would go to jail for and still think it was worth it.
He did the bullshiest shits ever, so glad our jungler pretty much sat the whole game in his lane and saved him. 60% of enemy team kills were because of him. There was this moment, where he flash dodged Fizzs spell and i was like, wow, now thats something, nice dodge. BUT THEN HE freaking continued to chase Fizz with 10hp and 0 mana and Fizz just turned around and crashed him with one spell. He didn't even auto him.
I mean, a huge/troll/retard feeder? Nothing new right ? But goddamnit,
-He was trash
-He did not type at all or ping the WHOLE GAME there was NOTHING from him
-In lategame he soloed alone, walked alone in lanes
-If he was near the TF's ,he was the one who started them because he was the one who gets shit on and the TF can start
And then there was this "last TF", Diana got Quadra and so she and Leona chased Draven for Penta, ofc they dived and we got aced in result, as we could not finish.
And i checked that guys match history, he has like 5 wins in a row in ranked where he has like 1:2 K ratio.
Viktor es numero uno hue hue hue hue e**** jayce hue hue
Except I'm expecting urgot to shot phallic objects at enemies.
i used to get 20 fps now i get 0 fps even with touching the settings to revert new model changes etc and lowest settings
that amazing optimization they offer trolololol
second, they did some stuff that you can turn off e.g inking for improved performance.
try turn off shadow the rest doesn't help FPS much o and resolution.
