According to Michael Bay, Lockdown's ship is a sentient being itself and very important:
The ship has a lot of meaning and backstory that can go into other movies.
This made me thinking on what could it possibly be then one day It accrued to me and think that it is...
Arguably the most badass in all of transformers mythology
Ohh if the director of the next Transformers movie put him in the next movie the everyone will see it three times in a row It could very well double Dark Of the Moons record (like the 3rd or the 5th highest grossing movie of all time). Of coarse it would take a huge budget to even create him but to see him transforming would make every kids dream come true.
would you watch Transformers if he was in it?
Do you want to see Omega Supreme in future movies

What is the best shape or cutting style? Can I look for any unique shape or cut that captures the beauty of the popular brilliant cut diamond?
Most Helpful Girl
A lot of girls love either round or square.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
In the present market, there are primarily ten types of shapes that rough diamonds are being given. Unsurprisingly, some have turned into popular choices over the years due to variations in buyer sense of taste and fashion. While shapes like the triangle cut are measured as rarities and hardly ever seen in the end user market, they might still charm to people eyeing for attractive choices.
Without a qualm, the top seller amongst the shapes is the full cut round brilliant (57 facets). When cut perfectly, round diamonds offer the finest sparkle and light performance equated to any other types of shapes. Coming in at a second place based on popularity is the cushion cut. In the US retail site, cushion cut diamonds had surpassed princess cuts with a contemporary surge in demand.
For people who are considering for something that joins the top features of these two shapes, you might love the appearance of the Asscher cut or the radiant cut.

The HD38999 family of connectors has 30% more contact density than the highest density Mil Spec 38999 connectors of its size. This series of connectors was designed to utilize mil-specified 38999 components with the exception of the contacts and inserts arrangement.
Utilizing existing mil-qualified 39029 size 23 contacts and 38999 insert materials, these connectors are essentially a drop-in replacement for the standard 38999 connector. This connector design benefits users in a couple of different ways. For those users who need to increase the amount of contacts in their application, the HD38999 series allows them to do so without increasing the size of their connector.
For users who are looking to decrease the overall size of their system, they can do so by using smaller shell sizes without decreasing the number of contacts. Amphenol has qualified this series of connectors to the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999. Amphenol also manufacturers this high density series in Filter, Hermetic and customized versions to fit our customer's needs.

Do toy boys get bored when women reach middle age?!
Lawyers have apparently noted a rise in young husbands filing for divorce from their older wives.
Apparently, middle age is when you should start worrying about whether or not you're about to be issued your p45.
James Brown, a partner at JMQ, says that they've a seen the number of these cases rise by a third in the last three years.
Brown said: "In my experience over that time, many of the women marrying younger men do so when they reach their late 30s or early 40s. Often they have built a career, are more confident and being able to attract a younger husband is almost an expression of 'girl power', for want of a better phrase.
"However, we are sadly seeing many instances in which this kind of relationship often founders as women reach middle age."
We're saddened by this news, and also kind of annoyed that people assume older women want a younger husband as "an expression of 'girl power'" – does love not come into it at all?

The Control SB-2 provides low-frequency reinforcement in subwoofer/satellite systems. The
Control SB-2 is ideal for foreground music and music/paging systems in restaurants, retail establishments, theme bars, music cafes, health clubs, and other indoor applications. The unique slot-load vented design provides acoustic low-pass filtering. Compared to traditional bandpass subwoofers, the SB-2 offers superior musical clarity and bass impact. The satellite outputs are high-pass filtered, reducing overall system distortion by eliminating the need for the satellite speakers to reproduce frequencies in the low bass range. The satellites operate more efficiently, maintaining excellent midrange clarity and realism in music and paging. The high-pass filtering also allows a greater number of satellite speakers to be paralleled in the system by increasing the impedance the amplifier sees in the subwoofer range. The stereo inputs are 8 ohms each. The combination of the satellite high-pass filtering, the acoustic slot load filtering and a built-in second order low-pass crossover network results in smoother overall system frequency response and virtually eliminates the muddiness typical of other subwoofer/satellite systems by reducing frequency overlap in the low midrange.

Lately I've been looking to increase my stitch pattern collection by getting some good stitch pattern reference books. I purchased Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Volume 4: Crochet, and it's pretty good, but it doesn't seem very complete. For example, it has a "petite popcorn" stitch, but lacks other common ones bobble stitch, puff stitch, and spike stitch. Does anyone have any suggestions for other good crochet reference books and stitch dictionaries? I'd like one that is fairly complete and focuses on basic stitch patterns to advanced stitch patterns. I don't want actual patterns for items, but just explanations of how to make the different stitches. I live in Canada, so books that can be easily found in Canada or the USA would be best. Thanks!
Also, I'd like to say hi to everyone since I'm new! I searched to see if any other topics had been started on this subject and couldn't see any. If there is, sorry for bringing it up again.

KINGS POINT, N.Y. – Junior Jake McDonough kicked his third field goal of the game from 27 yards as time expired to lift the USMMA football team to a 16-13 victory over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) at Brooks Stadium.
The win improves the Mariners' record to 4-2 (3-1 Liberty League), while the Engineers fall to 4-3 (2-2) in defeat.
The game seemed to be heading for overtime, as Merchant Marine was forced to punt late in the fourth with the score tied, 13-13, but the return was fumbled deep in RPI territory. Junior Isaac Lee was credited with the forced fumble, and classmate Justin Sydlowski jumped on the loose ball to set the Mariners up with possession at the Engineers 14-yard line with just 17 seconds left on the clock.
After a three-yard rush by sophomore Wiley Martin, USMMA called timeout with just two seconds left. RPI then used its two remaining timeouts to try and ice McDonough, but he converted to win the game.
The entire game went quickly prior to the final sequence; the first half alone took just over an hour to complete and the score was tied at 3-3 after 30 minutes of play.
The Engineers were unable to take advantage of two first quarter turnovers by the Mariners, as the Merchant Marine defense came up big with a huge fourth-down stop deep at the USMMA three-yard line to end the first threat and then again forced RPI to turn the ball over on downs later in the quarter to thwart any momentum for the visitors.
A 30-yard field goal early in the second quarter by junior Christian Kapp gave the Engineers a 3-0 lead, but McDonough responded with a field goal to end the half.
The Mariners began with possession to start the third quarter, but fumbled the ball away deep in their territory just two plays in. Two plays after that, RPI freshman QB Tommy Avery connected with juniorJohnny Ramsdell for an 11-yard TD pass to give the Engineers a 10-3 lead.
USMMA fumbled once again on its next drive, but got the ball back on an RPI fumble two plays later. McDonough then nailed his second FG, a 32-yarder, at 6:47 of the third to pull the Mariners back to within four, 10-6.
After the Merchant Marine defense forced a quick three-and-out, the Mariners got the ball back and marched 71 yards on 14 plays, but McDonough's field goal attempt late in the third went just wide left of the upright.
Again, USMMA forced the Engineers offense into a three-and-out, and on the ensuing drive, Martin capped off a 17-play, 63-yard drive with a two yard touchdown run at 8:36 of the fourth to give the Mariners their first lead of the day, 13-10, after McDonough's PAT.
The Engineers responded on the very next drive, however, as Kapp nailed a 30-yard field goal to tie the game with just 4:23 to go.
That's the point when the game started to slow down, when both teams were trying to find the winning score as time ran down. RPI's Ryan Buss intercepted a pass – his second INT of the game – in their territory with just 1:51 to go in the quarter, but again the offense was forced to punt. After the Mariners went three-and-out with under 30 seconds left is when junior Erik Swayne's punt to the RPI five-yard line was returned five yards by Connor Davies, who was tackled hard by Lee, forcing the ball to come out.
Junior Robert Moore led the Mariners offense with 88 rushing yards, while also going 8-for-14 for 68 passing yards. Senior Spencer Blauw had 29 yards on the ground, and Martin finished with 64 yards and the TD. Defensively, senior Channing Meyer registered a team-high nine tackles, while sophomore Brooks Cannell made eight stops.
For RPI, sophomore Nick Cella gained 56 yards on the ground and classmate Rob Law had 43 rushing yards. Avery was 9-for-13 passing for 46 yards and sophomore Keaton Ackermann was his top target with three catches for 15 yards. Senior Alexander Greenidge led all players in the game with 17 tackles for the Engineers, one of four players with double-digit tackles.

If you are planning to restore a car that is even a few years old, you will undoubtedly come across the odd nut, bolt, or stud that is rusted solid and won't come off. This project will expose you to some of the methods used by several of the "experts" in the field.
The first step in getting rusty or stuck fasteners off is to perform a preemptive strike. It is often the case that you find a nut or stud will not come off after you have already stripped or damaged it. If you think a nut might give you problems, it's far better to tackle the removal process carefully rather than destroy one of your precious parts.
If you are planning to remove an old rusty bolt in a day or two, soak the area with a good penetrating lubricant like WD-40 or liquid wrench. The lubricant will seep down and penetrate the joint, making it easier to remove and break apart. This seeping process takes time, however. At the very least, soak the bolt the night before you attempt to remove it. This will place you a step ahead in the battle.
When removing these old bolts, you must have the right tools for the job. A properly fitting wrench is essential. People often use the wrong tool for the wrong bolt. The female Torx bolts are an excellent example. A simple hex socket tool will sometimes fit onto the bolts, and you may be able to remove some of them, but chances are one of the bolts will become stripped. Using the right-sized tool to remove a fastener means you are increasing the odds it will come off easily.
For pulling studs, Snap-On offers an excellent collet-based stud-removal tool that does the job very well without damaging the stud. This tool incorporates a collet that latches onto and compresses the threads of the stud, squeezing them tight. Then the tool and the stud can be removed. If you are removing studs from an engine case, an extra vise-grip or two might be useful as well to get more torque on the studs.
Exhaust studs are sometimes difficult to remove from the heads, as they rust and corrode very easily. Make sure you lubricate the area heavily before even attempting to remove a rusty exhaust manifold. Unfortunately, if a stud snaps off, there really isn't too much you can do. Since the studs are heated by the exhaust, they become very brittle over time. The only way to remove a broken head stud is to have it drilled out or removed using an EDM process.
A common propane torch or, even better, an oxy-acetylene torch may help you out when you need to remove bolts. These torches are available at most hardware stores and are useful beyond belief. A torch can give you an extra advantage in removal, particularly on bolts and studs that have had red Loctite 271 used on them.
With the torch, heat the metal surrounding the stud. This will help melt any Loctite on the threads and will also help expand the metal that is surrounding the stud. Use caution, though; do not apply heat directly to the stud, as this will heat the stud, and it will become even more stuck in the hole. If you are removing a stud from an engine case or a cylinder head, you will find it takes a surprisingly long time to heat up the case. Aluminum and steel conduct heat very well, so focus the torch on the case for a while before you try to remove any studs. Also, be sure to use the torch only in a well-ventilated area.
On the opposite side of the equation, you can sometimes use coolant to help remove a stuck bolt. One of the best-kept secrets is the "compressed air in a can" your local office supply store sells for blowing dust out of old computer equipment. If you hold the can upside down, the gas inside (which is not actually ordinary air) will drip out as a very cold liquid. You can drip this liquid onto bolts and into areas you might be having trouble with. Be careful, though. The cold will have a tendency to make the metal increasingly brittle and prone to breaking. Always use eye and skin protection when using coolants, as they can be deceptively dangerous.
The application of heat and cold together can be a powerful combination. As the joint heats up and then cools again, rust and Loctite may break free from the rapid expansion and contraction. There is no exact science for this, so trial and error is the rule of thumb.
Another important point is to make sure that the nut or bolt you are trying to remove can actually be removed. Often someone will try to remove an embedded stud or a nut that has been welded on, only to find that this is an impossible task. Before you dig out the angle grinder, check and double-check to make sure you aren't missing something obvious.
Sometimes it makes sense to weld a nut to a stud that is stuck and immovable. Doing this will allow you to place a wrench on the nut and, hopefully, remove the stud. Before you attempt to weld, make sure that you clean all of the rust, debris, oil, and anything else that might be on the stud. Sometimes the stud will be old and brittle and may not take well to welding, as is often the case with exhaust studs. Also, you can only effectively weld most studs if they are made of steel. Some alloy studs you cannot weld--the nuts just break off as soon as you try to turn them.
The impact wrench is another useful tool and is most helpful when you are trying to remove a nut that rotates on a bearing (for example, the steering wheel nut) or one that is attached with a great amount of force. The impact wrench "hits" the nut with repeated blows, knocking it loose, which will save you plenty of time when you need to remove specialty bolts. There are two types of impact wrenches available--ones that run on compressed air and simple electric ones that plug into a standard household socket. I recommend the electric style if you don't have an air compressor.
My weapon of choice when all else fails is the Dremel tool or its big brother, the angle grinder. These two tools of destruction really don't stop at anything when it comes to cutting through metal. The Dremel tool is my personal favorite because it is so small and you can place it in so many different positions. Adding to its versatility is that you can add a flexible shaft to the tool that allows you to put the rotating blade just about anywhere you can reach.
The Dremel, or rotary, tool spins at about 50,000 rpm and uses small ceramic-like discs to cut and grind through steel. There are other small fiber-reinforced discs available that are more expensive than the regular discs, but they last longer, and are more effective at cutting through steel quicker. I recommend using thesediscs, particularly if you can buy a large bag of them at a swap meet or other venue. Make sure you don't ever use the Dremel tool without eye protection.
The angle grinder makes no apologies for being the most destructive of all the tools in my collection. The grinding wheel can grind, wear, cut, and melt away steel much faster than any other tool I own. It's especially useful for grinding off nuts and studs that are so badly rusted there is no way to get a grip on them. Make sure you use appropriate eye, ear, and nose/throat protection when using the grinder, as this tool kicks up a lot of small metal particles.
When all else fails, you can sometimes use a hand drill to bore out an embedded or broken stud. While not the prettiest solution, the hand drill is still an effective method of removal. For greater success with a drill, start out with a very small drill bit and gradually increase the diameter. Also, use plenty of lubricant. When the hole you are drilling gets to be about the size of the stud, try to remove the remains of the stud using a pick. Be careful not to damage the threads of the hole by drilling too large of a hole. When you are finished, chase a tap down the hole to clear out the threads, or if it's damaged, thread the hole to a larger diameter.

As always, if you have any questions or comments about this helpful article, please drop us a line.
The propane or oxy/acetylene torch is one of my personal favorite tools. Make sure you heat the case and not the stud. You may notice it takes a long time for the case to warm up. Keep the torch focused on the area and don't let it stray onto the stud. The white inner portion of the flame is the hottest; the blue part indicates a cooler region. Make sure you only use the torch in a well-ventilated area, as the propane will create harmful carbon monoxide gases.
The tools of destruction and mayhem are shown here. The Dremel rotary tool (right) with flexible attachment is best suited for cutting off small nuts, bolts, or studs. This tool will solve about 95 percent of your problems. The angle grinder (lower left) is for more serious tasks where you must completely grind down rusted nuts. WD-40 is an excellent penetrant for removing rusted and stuck bolts. The Snap-On stud remover (upper left) is a hard-to-find tool, yet very useful for removing those troublesome studs. Finally, the electric impact wrench (center) is good for removing nuts that have been mounted with a lot of torque.

Green and Pleasant Land
This small series of images looks at the surface of the landscape following the annual LGBT Pride celebrations in Brighton's Preston Park. A week of intense preparation; a day and night of celebrations enjoyed by around 80,000 party goers; two days of cleaning-up and, suddenly, the party's over. For a short while, the landscape bears the scars and some surreal residues of this event before the healing process begins, and the ground gradually consumes all evidence that anything ever happened.

Having missed the turn towards the Visitor Center for the battlefield, I passed the white stone war memorial. After turning around, I pulled into the parking lot for the memorial. A little bit lower than the actual memorial, the walk up the steps gave me a chance to admire the tall structure. Originally built in 1955 to honor the dead from WWII and the Korean War, the long rectangular shrine gained additions to honor both Vietnam (1981) and the Persian Gulf Conflict (1996). The shrine is open on the short ends, a stone wall on the right, glass walls on the left. The names of the deceased are engraved on the two solid walls. The sheer number of names is a bit mindboggling. I have been to the Vietnam War Memorial in DC with its many names; here on one wall are thousands of names from WWII alone.
At the far end of the shrine, just under the roof stands Memory, a white marble sculpture. She looks down, silent. My first glimpse of the statue had been on my drive past. Up close she is imposing but not intimidating. At the base of the 23-ft tall sculpture are an eternal flame Torch of Liberty and a fresh rose bud.
Also on site is a small museum with a few displays of uniforms from each of the wars remembered. Another display contains models of various warplanes from WWII. A bed of memorial roses lines the walkway by the museum.
Originally a small mill, the Tredegar Iron Works grew and helped the city of Richmond become the center of iron manufacturing in the southern US. The capacity to produce contributed to Richmond's choice as the capital of the Confederacy when the Civil War broke out.
The Tredegar Iron Works is the main Visitor Center for the Richmond National Battlefield Park and also the American Civil War Museum. You can park right next to the center for $3 or as I did, go a little farther down the block and hope for an open spot at the parking for Belle Isle. An elevated track runs right past this parking lot and a train was creeping slowly by when I arrived.
I wandered around the courtyard area first.
Up the black stairwell, I then headed into the Visitor Center which is in the former Pattern building. The three levels though all dealing with the Civil War are still distinct not only in the aspect of the war addressed but also in look--each level architecturally represents a different period in the building's life. The lowest level displays military artifacts of the war--a small boat, cannonballs, and staffs from different regiments. The middle level--recommended to view first--contained the ranger station, gift shop, and a variety of photos and maps. The maps were useful to help visualize the battles in the area since they spanned multiple days and locations. The top level named Voices of Richmond took a look at the war from two fronts: military and home.
Back outside, I walked around the upper level of the site, past the sculpture commemorating Lincoln's visit to the city after its surrender, past the smaller brick building that once housed the general store, past some modern art up on the hill. My final stop was by a large piece of wheeled equipment. I believe it was used to help press metal but I can't remember for sure.

I have a ball peen hammer ... and I'm not afraid to use it
Now that the weather is warmer and things are green again let's discuss a few things that for some reason must have stayed frozen in a block of ice somewhere during the polar vortex this winter.
First off: Dogs, kids, cats ... anything or anyone that can breathe and can't really open a car door on their own. Now, for the most part, I'm talking to dog owners that take their pooches with them where ever they go. As much as I like having my boy, Dutch, with me on warmer days, when I have to make stops I have to leave him at home, much like I did with his older brother Max; if it's over 60 degrees and the sun is out, you just have to leave them at home. They may not want to stay home because after all they would much rather be with you, but leave them home anyway. And here comes my annual pledge to you -- I'll be giving away a busted car window to anyone who leaves their dog in the car on a hot day. I carry a small ball peen hammer with me so that I can follow through on my pledge. So please, don't do it, because every time I bust a car window the cops come, I have to do paperwork and I'm training for an Ironman, I honestly don't have the time.
Speaking of training ... there is something you should know. Since the weather is nicer, you'll see an increase of people on the road running and biking. Now, I'm not just blaming the motorist here, because I've seen the runners and bikers not follow the rules of the road. So if you are running -- please run against the grain. In other words, you should be able to see the driver's face as you are running or see the person texting while they're driving while they are also drifting onto the shoulder of the road. Obviously, if there's a sidewalk you should try and use it, but if not, please keep in mind it's easier to avoid a car if you can see it coming.
Conversely, to you motorists, should you encounter a runner or walker while bombing around, please leave them some space. Most of you are really good about it, but a select few of you are, well, idiots (you probably don't know who you are -- which is why I carry a small ball peen hammer when I run). Some of you motorists feel as though you pay taxes and when you're on the road the road becomes yours. Well I'm here to tell you that it's not entirely true -- in fact you both "own" the road and you both need to follow the rules and those rules don't include flipping off the runner or yelling "Get off the road." I understand; sometimes the roads are narrow and you can get a little freaked out, but actually freaking out because someone is running on the road is really unacceptable and, frankly, a useless expenditure of energy.
As to bikes, I would like to first address the cycle enthusiast. Now, if you're new to this experience you may want to ride against the grain like a runner. Don't! It truly is a visual assault and you'll most likely end up on the front of someone's car and that will dent your new bike. Instead, ride with the flow of traffic. I know this is scary because people text while driving and aren't really paying attention 100 percent of the time. But the rule is you must flow with traffic; there are reasons for that.
Motorists, I know not all of you like sharing the road with your eco-friendly brethren but you have to. And since you have to, there are rules you too must abide by. For instance, you must give a minimum of three feet between you and your rearview mirror (or whatever sticks out further). That three feet doesn't start from the outer part of your right thigh as some of you may think. But if you have the room, give them more. If you think the paperwork is bad from me busting your car window because your dog is in your car, I'm here to tell you, you ain't seen nothing yet! What the hell is up with that?

One of a handful of neo-classic soul artists to emerge following the late-'90s success of artists like D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill, Atlanta's India.Arie stood poised at the beginning of 2001 to make a major impact. A studied songwriter and guitar player rooted in the R&B, soul, Motown, and blues of the past, but grounded in the post-hip-hop urban world of today, Arie's debut, Acoustic Soul, was rich with textured songs, hooks, and impressively mature lyrics, considering the artist had only been writing songs for five years.
Born in Denver, CO, to parents from Memphis and Detroit, music was always in Arie's life. The family moved to Atlanta when India was 13 and after high school she began playing guitar at the encouragement of her mother. Involvement in the fertile Atlanta urban music scene led to the formation of an artist's collective called Groovement and an independent label, EarthShare, which released a compilation CD featuring Arie's first songs. A second-stage slot on the 1998 Lilith Fair tour garnered major-label interest, but Arie eventually signed with Motown after being assured of having full artistic control.
Work on Acoustic Soul dragged out over nearly two years, but Arie's relentless pursuit of perfection and musical integrity yielded very pleasing results: as successful a graft of classic soul and modern hip-hop-style productions yet attempted. The album's first single, "Video," received strong radio and club play early in the year, and the full-length followed in March. Just over a year later, Arie had completed her second record, Voyage to India, and it appeared in September 2002. Four years later the singer hit number one on the Billboard charts for the first time with Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship, which also netted her three Grammy nominations. Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics was released in February 2009.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello everyone, Victra here and I have created my second build that brings a ton of pain to the field of Justice. Please vote if you like my guide and build. I'm going to try and bring in game play video this time to better explain my build and get you Annie's on your roll. This build is a super burst. i use it right now and i have had nothing but success. Please leave comments on how you would improve the way i play, or tips that i can add to help others. Thanks!
Pros / Cons
Tons of Burst
Pet with AoE
rely heavily on stun
Overall Amazing champ
Super important, the best stats come from primary runes. The runes i pick are all primary so i get the most effect from each rune.
Greater Seal of Clerity - You will not always last hit minions with your Q spell, and if you are just getting in champ fights it always helps to have the mana regen even if its a little.
Greater Mark of Insight - Magic penetration plays key roles in blowing up tanks, but just against normal players with the sorcerer boots its enough to raise the bar of damage.
Greater Glyph of Clerity - Just a solid Glyph that is primary
Greater Quintessence of Fortitude - These give tons of HP, and with the dorans ring at start it gives more then enough survivability.
Offence Tree - Take the ability power, CD and magic pen.
Utility Tree - Mana regen, Exp gain, Monster buff duration(always comes in handy), Flash upgrade, and CD.
The masteries are kinda important in utility because with the point in flash, and the last point to reduce summoner spells cd really lets u use and abuse the flash, for some of the most vital times in the match.
Start to finish, each item and why.
Dorans Ring - HP, AP, and mana regen. No matter where you are this item does wonders for you.
Amp tomb - I have never had a problem with not getting kills or assists with annie. start building your Mejai ASAP.
Boots of Speed - Helps move in for your stun combo.
Mejai's Soulstealer - Stacking up AP, and a nice CD at 20.
Sorcerer boots - magic pen and more speed.
Giants Belt - you need to keep those stacks from mejai's. this gives you plenty of survivability while staying down the Path of ranged AP.
Rylais Crystal Scepter - Turn that giants belt into a Rylai's. Keep your enemies in range and keep yourself alive while your at it.
Tears of the goddess - You do amazing damage already as annie, but you will only get in a few bursts and your mana is gone, well good thing for you is the enemy will most likely be dead on your first burst, or blown there summoner spells trying to get away. start building towards the Archangel staff, get your mana maker first. The more bursts the merrier.
Archangel staff - Go Burst happy build up your stun by using W into no where at this point, u will get all your mana back and you get more mana for using an ability. yay.
Rabadons Deathcap - Kill them all, Get your AP up in the clouds and destroy anyone in ur path.
The rest of the items are for Heavy CC teams, or heavy MR.
Skill Sequence
I am a HUGE fan of her stun. I start with my W(Incinerate) and charge it up at pool. Be aggressive at first, most will have no defense for you so if your laning with a friend or in mid, bait them into range and stun them, you can get a few auto attacks off as well. Next get Q(Disintegrate) and hang back getting the last hit with Q, so you don't spend mana and you build stacks up for another stun. Once u get tibers its time to become your enemies worst nightmare.
As a bonus having flash up to get into range for any of these tactics is a great idea, or to burst and flash out so they cant react.
Single Person Fight - get 5 stacks for stun
Q - You wont miss your stun
R - Tibers, Lots of damage while he is stunned he is getting AoE damage from Tibers
W - big burst damage since enemy is pinned in stun
IGNITE - should kill them if not already dead.
E - defense and another point into stack
Q - again if necessary
Team Fight - Get 4 or 5 stacks
R - Tibers!! AoE Stun if ur on 5 stacks
W - More AoE damage
Q - Nuke the person closest do dieing, this does alot of damage but is single target ;p
E - defense and more stacks for next stun.
Summoner Spells
The most ideal summoner spells that I use are Ignite and Flash.
Ignite - After you burst, its time set them ablaze since u are a fire girl anyways, makes sense to me and this will normally get you the kill.
Flash - You can use this to get in or get out. its pretty amazing to have your 5 stacks up for stun, flash next to the person boom boom boom, and they die and not even get to react because of your stun.
Please Vote and leave comments to help improve even the way that I play Annie, I hope you enjoy thanks!!

Building a truss is one of the easiest ways to build a toothpick bridge; it's made entirely out of triangles. You'll need to make the two sides of your bridge so that the triangles are parallel to each other and are then connected.

Education is an extremely crucial variable that assists us shape our profession, for any person that wishes to have a bright future, education and learning is incredibly important. It helps in the general advancement of an individual that can serve his/her requirements and requirements in a simpler path. If you are genuinely well informed then you can be sufficiently used and also make your income. High quality education and learning can not be paid for by everyone. In such case, you can quickly rely on educational debts and also accomplish your instructional wishes conveniently. The federal government has started a conditional loan mercy prepare for pupils, as some have actually cannot repay the car loans because of their negative financial situations.
Officially referred to as the William D. Ford Loan Program, the Obama Trainee Finance Forgiveness Program got this label when President Obama developed a pair of reforms to the finance program in 2009. The reforms only use to government student financings.
Exactly How This Can Aid In Wakefield LA?
Federal pupil lendings are of much aid to trainees intending to seek their college studies yet are not financially capable. With federal pupil finances availed of, university student will certainly be not only able to seek university research studies yet likewise have the ability to gain from several settlements schemes readily available for them. These are payment systems that are all to their advantages, and also they simply need to use as well as work out for these. What is required excels negotiating skills, as well as they may just be able to obtain these, if qualified. They likewise should care for their pupil loans and also not permit this to go on default. Even obtaining trainee financial obligation misbehavior need to be prevented as much as possible. They could even get the car loan forgiveness program if they are certified.
Who Can Qualify?
The student finance relief program is one where the pupil can use this financing and also without having for this to be repaid, if the trainee is qualified. For the teacher loan forgiveness program, the borrower needs to educate for 5 consecutive years and also need to get on a permanent basis. The area of training ought to remain in a low-income community or for teaching services provided to low-income family members. The possible threats run into will be not fulfilling the whole 5 years of consecutive teaching, for whatever reasons the trainee borrower has. Federal pupil debts availed of by trainee debtors as well as seeking teaching tasks could be helpful for them, yet there are also possible threats potentially came across, and the debtor ought to make efforts for this not to occur.
Public student loan forgiveness program could also be get by trainee consumers who meet the particular certifications. The federal trainee loans acquired are profiting most the university student since they can complete their college education and learning and also have a career after college graduation, and this is one of the most the get as the advantage. They can likewise get the public student car loan forgiveness if they have actually made 120 funding repayments or successive settlements consistently for 10 years and also operate in a qualified public service company. There is additionally the threat possibly encountered, that of being invalidated like when the pupil finance goes into default. After several years of loan repayments consistently as well as economic problem come along, there is the opportunity of default, and also this could disqualify the consumer from get this finance mercy program.
What Are The Alternatives in Wakefield Louisiana?
For certain, the government pupil car loans are giving extra benefits to college student borrowers, and they could also have several settlement options that could be availed of. as well as this is providing much more benefits. Debt mercy programs can additionally be get, which they could not obtain if they seek the personal trainee fundings acquired from the banks. They may treat this with lower priority contrasted with the government trainee fundings, yet might likewise avail of when university funds are not sufficient, they will not have this advantage of loan relief with the private pupil finances.
Pupil customers who are on the income-based payment plan and making their settlements diligently may likewise get qualified for the funding forgiveness program if they bargain as well as obtain qualified. Thus, the government student lendings ought to be dealt with more preferentially by pupil consumers since of numerous advantages they get.

Re-Storying Goddess for me means re-storing a sense of "She" to the Cosmos, restoring female sacrality[1] … to the small particular self to begin with, to other, and to all-that-is: re-storing "Her" as Language – image and word – for the Creative Dynamic that unfolds the Universe.
Most of the religious stories that most on the globe grew up with at this time, did not have the female in Careful mind. Most world religions still specifically story the female as problematic to creation or enlightenment or whatever, or at least secondary: though some are clever enough to attempt to disguise it. The term "God" still commonly invokes the "Face of Ultimate Reality", the Absolute, and the term "Goddess" still overwhelmingly invokes a mere mythological entity.
"Goddess", or "God", is metaphor, a poetic image – suggesting a likeness of femaleness or maleness in the Sacred/Deity. According to the Webster's Dictionary, a metaphor is a word or phrase used to suggest a likeness. "Goddess" is a figure of speech suggesting a likeness of femaleness in the Deity – few would argue with that: though many do argue that "God" does not suggest a likeness of maleness in the Deity, that it/He is neutral or may represent both, whereas Goddess may not.
Some cultures don't need the word "God" nor do some need the word "Goddess" because female sacrality is not a problem – femaleness in such cultures, is understood to embody transformatory powers[2], and thus the very nature/essence of the Cosmos: birthing, lactating, conceiving, gestating … are transformatory powers. And all genders in such cultures find purpose in supporting regenerative capacities.
Theology was meant to be poetry – what else could it be, as it attempted to describe Ultimate Reality/Creativity. Theology has mostly ended up as a description of a dead butterfly pinned in a glass case, not one that is alive and flitting about in the garden … in the act of being. I prefer the term "Cosmology": it is a study of our Place, which is Dynamic, a Verb, not a Noun – it is an Event. I understand myself as a student of the Poetry of the Universe. Poetry is a language of Goddess.
The texts we choose for our lives create the texture, the context: when we choose a story for our lives, or accept a pre-scribed one, it lives us. There is a cosmology in our everyday speech and action.
Re-Storying Goddess, and celebrating Her in Seasonal Moments, may participate in the process of scribing one's self, authoring one's self, at the deepest level, and storying the Universe as "She". What might happen then – if the Universe was storied as "She"? What difference might it make to the world we live in?
When I speak of "Goddess", I mean Her as a totality – not a "feminine" PART of the Sacred. "Goddess" may be metaphor for Ultimate Creativity – the Sacred Cosmos … and in three qualities of Her Unfolding, of Her Cosmogenesis: ever-new differentiated being, infinite full communion/relatedness, and constant transformation within Her sentient Self. She may be re-storied to that Integrity in our hearts and minds.
Then, one Enters – becomes en-tranced … into the richness and magic of this Cosmic Dynamic of Creativity, Who is embodied and embedded in all being. She is the seamless sacred Matter – Mother, Materia, Madre – Whom we are.

On May 4th, 2017, hundreds gathered on the 22nd floor of the Florida State Capitol to join together from different influential aspects of society to honor God, humble themselves, and pray for God to intervene in America.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln appointed a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. The following excerpts are from that proclamation:
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God."
This prayer guide will help to focus our prayers as we begin 40 days of prayer and fasting for America. Use this guide in your prayer times this week.
Jesus is the only answer to our nation's problems. A Great Awakening is the only answer to a nation that has gone away from its biblical roots. No politician has the answers for our nation, but we must pray for godly leadership in every position of authority. We must cry out for another Jesus Movement to sweep across out nation and people turn to the Lord. The Word says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12).
Before we begin in intercession, it's good to inspect our own hearts and come clean before the Lord. Take time to confess and repent to God of any sins in your life. Then, from a national perspective, repent for rejecting God as a nation, and for the removal of God in our education systems and government.
"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me." Ps. 51:1-3 (NKJ)
Throughout history, both in America and abroad, movements of prayer have released explosive spiritual awakening. From the early Church in the book of Acts to the Great Awakenings to the Jesus Movement in the 1970's, God's chief aim has been made known again and again: to reveal and glorify His Son Jesus.
These "Jesus movements" revolutionized millions of lives. Joy and deliverance flooded many hearts as they encountered this Man Jesus. Oppression and addiction fled, as multitudes became apprehended by an authentic relationship with Jesus and discovered the power of a higher affection. As loving Jesus (Mt. 22:37) became the anthem of these generations, sharing a Gospel-witness of His worth became the overflow of their lives.
Time and time again, the revelation of Jesus has sent spiritual shockwaves across America and throughout the earth. Millions of dollars have been spent trying to impact this emerging generation. But if a generation is perishing, surely it is not perishing for lack of novel methods and relevant presentation. We need something from heaven. We need a deep encounter with the Man Jesus.
Encountering Jesus is the highest calling of the Church. He is the Desire of All Nations (Hag. 2:7). He is only solution for the raging nations (Ps. 2:1-2). He is the only Hope for crisis in America.
Undoubtedly, there is no one like Jesus.
He turned the world upside down in three short years of ministry. His presence sparked the atmosphere of Heaven wherever He went. Revival or revolution followed immediately after. The religious hated Him. Sinners loved Him. His healing power, miracles, signs and wonders caught the attention of religious and political leaders. Whatever He did demanded a response. He amazed crowds (Mt. 9:33); stunned scholars (Lk. 2:46); brought dead men to life (Jn. 11:33-34).
The fame of Jesus' name spread like wildfire across many regions and ever since then He has been divinely initiating movements of spiritual awakening throughout Church history, wherever He finds hearts that are hungry for more of Him. He forever will be our Savior, Great High Priest, Bridegroom, King and Judge.
I'm currently in Boston, MA with 70 students, praying for awakening on the Ivy League campuses. I have always had a great interest in the topic of "awakening" – awakening on the scale of the First and Second Great Awakenings. I am drawn to the writings of the "Awakening Greats" such as Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Charles Finney and the like. There have also been great movements in a our nations history such as Azusa Street and the Healing Revivals of the 50's, the Jesus Movement where God opened hearts and ushered in awakening and great harvest that interest me.

Pre-publication reviews:
"The Visioneers is an enthralling tale of visionaries fighting against the gravity of habit and convention, cajoling the rest of us to create a new and better future. It is at once compelling history and a reminder that if one aims high and far enough, even failures can lead to unintended society-changing successes." —Paul Saffo, managing director, Discern
"Having been a cheerleader for the grand schemes recounted in this book, I'm happy to be a cheerleader for the book itself. It is accurate, thorough, and insightful. Since this century is certain to produce many new cadres of visioneers, the book will lend perspective on how best to critique and harness their dreams." —Stewart Brand, author of Whole Earth Discipline
"In this compulsively readable history, Patrick McCray tells the remarkable, intertwined story of the 'visioneers,' improbable dreamers whose aspirations for a transformative future surprisingly helped create the world of today. His American panorama sweeps us from the malaise of the 1970s through the go-go 1980s and the technocratic 1990s. We end up in our present, richer for the journey."–Michael Gordin, Princeton University
"This wonderful and unique book uncovers the complex array of activities scientific dreamers undertake in convincing the world that their visions of technological utopias can, and should, become realities. McCray tells a masterful story about how 'visioneers' rely on their scientific expertise and detailed engineering plans to legitimate their evocative tales of technological salvation in the face of ecological disasters." —David A. Kirby, author of Lab Coats in Hollywood
"In The Visioneers, Patrick McCray introduces us to a host of innovators who pushed back against the language of limits. Their techno-enthusiast ventures, unfolding in the closing decades of the twentieth century, combined technical skill, bold speculation, and public-relations savvy. By tracing their inspirations, missteps, and unconventional networks, McCray offers a rich and fascinating cultural history of technological aspirations at a critical turning point in American history." —David Kaiser, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"McCray presents a fast-moving, compelling, and highly readable account of scientific movements in space colonization and nanotech. In each case, he argues that a single individual–a visioneer–brought the movement into existence and drove its rise to popularity through a mix of networking, promotion, and engineering." —Fred Turner, author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture
"McCray tells the engaging story of Gerard O'Neill and K. Eric Drexler and the people they knew and worked with as they launched scientific, technological, and social movements in space exploration and nanotechnology. He has mined most if not all of the available sources and interviewed many of the key players. The Visioneers is a major contribution." —Peter Bishop, coeditor of Thinking about the Future
"This is the foremost study of its kind in terms of detail, depth, and intellectual significance. McCray illuminates the challenges these visioneers faced in conceiving of their respective visions, defending them against critics and rivals, and learning to balance partial victories and partial defeats. Readers come to understand these figures as human beings beyond coming to understand their ideas, projects, and crusades." —Howard P. Segal, author of Technological Utopianism in American Culture

Non-Hungarian media outlets are covering the events in Hungary extensively. Everything that goes on in the country with regard to the refugee crisis is immediately reported, so I don't think it makes sense to describe the current state of affairs here. I would just be repeating the same stories one can read in the pages of The New York Times, The Guardian, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, or Libération. Instead, I would like to share my thoughts on the real motivation behind Viktor Orbán's latest twists in his "handling" of the refugee crisis.
Most commentators are baffled by the Hungarian government's shifting positions on the would-be immigrants from the Middle East and Africa. Why did the Orbán government change its position suddenly and inexplicably in the last month or so? Earlier the Hungarian police patrolling the border between Serbia and Hungary allowed anyone who registered to leave as soon as they were ready to undertake the trip. No one was rushing after them, no one dragged them off trains or stopped cars to find "illegal economic immigrants." As a result, there were no more than 1,000-2,000 refugees in Hungary at any given time. That arrangement suited both parties: the refugees were happy to leave Hungary and the Orbán government was pleased that they didn't have to take care of these people.
But then the number of refugees started growing by leaps and bounds. While in 2014 41,900 people crossed the Serb-Hungarian border, half of whom were Kossovars, so far in 2015 more than 160,000 migrants have arrived on Hungarian soil. With the swell in numbers the government decided it needed a long-term "solution" to the problem.
The Orbán government's final aim is to make sure that no refugee would ever choose a route that takes him to Hungary. To achieve this goal the government started inciting the population against the immigrants. Not that they needed much urging since Hungarians seem to be a xenophobic lot, but most of the population had never encountered these people since after their arrival they departed as speedily as possible. So, the government had to call attention to the "problem." Hence the questionnaires and Hungarian-language billboards.
Once it became clear that more refugees were opting for the land route instead of the much more dangerous and expensive trip across the Mediterranean, the decision was made to slow the flow of refugees by building a fence. I'm almost certain that Viktor Orbán and his advisers on the refugee crisis knew all along that the fence would not stop the refugees from entering the country. They foolishly thought, however, that it would at least stem the tide. They were wrong. News about the construction of the fence galvanized the refugees to start off for Hungary as soon as possible. Before the construction of the fence began about 1,000 refugees arrived each day. By now three times as many are managing to get through.
It was at this point that the Hungarian government decided to keep the would-be immigrants in such miserable conditions that soon enough no refugee in his right mind would head toward Hungary. The chaos and cruelty one sees at the border, in the camps, and in and around the railway stations is not the result of incompetence or a lack of financial means. It is, I believe, a purposeful strategy devised by Hungary's prime minister. The Hungarian government is doing practically nothing to alleviate the suffering of these people. If the volunteers didn't provide food, clothing, and medical care for the refugees stranded at railway stations, those who have run out of money would starve. But as far as the Hungarian government is concerned, the worse the better.
For the time being one isn't seeing a dramatic decrease in numbers despite the cruel treatment of the refugees. Yesterday, for example, according to the website of the Hungarian police, 3,313 people crossed the border. But as a result of the horror stories coming out of Hungary, I'm certain that eventually fewer people will try to cross into the country. News travels fast in the refugee community, and soon enough they, or smugglers, will figure out a different route that avoids Hungary.
In case word of mouth doesn't work, there is a plan to set up transit camps that will be closed toward Hungary and open toward Serbia. Soon enough those who are already on their way will learn that the route through Hungary is blocked. This is "a solution" which, according to Jean-Claude Juncker, is incompatible with the European Union's principle of "non-refoulement," which forbids the expulsion of refugees where they can rightfully claim refugee status to a place where they may face persecution or other threats.
I'm sure all of you have heard about the 1,000-1,500 refugees who are marching along the highway toward Vienna, a trip of about 200 km. Six hundred Austrian civilians gathered on Facebook to travel either by car or to rent buses to pick up these people and take them to Austria. But Viktor Orbán today called attention to the fact that without valid visas these people cannot enter Austria. He said he is waiting to hear from the Austrian government about its stand on that issue. He also made it clear that he considers those civilians who are contemplating the rescue of the refugees to be human traffickers. Interestingly enough, a couple of months ago he wasn't concerned about the legality of refugees going to Austria from Hungary with or without registration.
Today, in the late afternoon, Népszabadság's correspondent in Brussels learned from a very reliable source that the European Commission is planning to take over 50,000 registered asylum seekers from Hungary. Apparently, Orbán was hoping to get more money from Brussels, but it looks as if the EU decided that one cannot expect decent treatment of the asylum-seekers from the Orbán government and that it is much better if these people are moved out of Hungary as quickly as possible.
With his strategy Viktor Orbán might gain a domestic victory, but the international reputation of Orbán's Hungary has been irreparably damaged.

Why does Lady Macbeth's character use the pronoun 'my' a lot in Macbeth?
- print Print
- list Cite
In addition to power and dominance, the first person pronoun "my" is used to underscore the important role that Lady Macbeth has in the play, and demonstrate her equal strength.
Sometimes Lady Macbeth uses the first person pronoun to tie herself to Macbeth.
Your face, my Thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters. (Act 1, Scene 5, enotes etext p. 20)
When she calls him "my Thane" she is both flattering him and pushing him to her will. She goes on here to counsel him to be nice to Duncan so he can more easily kill him. When she calls him "my Thane" or "my lord" she is manipulating him, trying to get him to do what she wants.
In one of her most grisly speeches, Lady Macbeth tells her husband that she has been a mother, and she would willingly bash her newborn baby's brains out to get what she wants.
I have given suck, and know(60)
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out… (Act 1, scene 7, p. 24)
As gruesome as the speech is, it demonstrates that she is strong and equal to Macbeth. He needs to be a killer, and she would be a killer herself. She also says, "What cannot you and I perform upon
The unguarded Duncan?" (p. 24), including herself in the package. She even indicates that she would kill him herself, if he did not look like her father (p. 28-9).
Another example of Lady Macbeth's complicity in the crime is when she takes the knives from him.
My hands are of your color, but I shame(80)
To wear a heart so white. (Act 2, Scene 3, p. 31)
She is acknowledging that she is nervous, but she has equal blame in the murder. At the end, in her famous sleepwalking speech, she declares "what's done cannot be undone" (p. 78). She once again takes equal credit, and this time equal blame, for her part.

Blue Cross Blue Shield will Discontinue PPO Plans in Texas
At the end of this year. 367,000 Texans will lose their individual health insurance policies because Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is going to stop offering individual PPO plans on the Obamacare exchanges. The insurer did announce that it will continue to offer HMO plans. Of course, HMO plans are not popular with physicians, hospitals, and patients because they come with a mountain of rules that hinder and sometimes even prevent the delivery of necessary medical care.
PPO plans provide more freedom to patients to make their own decisions regarding their health care. A PPO plan does not require a patient to obtain a referral from his or her primary care physician prior to seeing a specialist. A PPO plan also does not require prior authorizations for every medical service prior to the delivery of the service. An HMO normally requires a hospital to get prior authorization before providing even emergency care. If the hospital and physician(s) treating a patient do not obtain an authorization prior to treating a patient, they will be unable to get paid for the medical care they provide. An HMO is designed to give an insurance company the ability to manage a patient's care.
An HMO plan provides a small network of physician and hospitals for its subscribers. The provider network is small because the insurance company offers lower payment rates, so it is impossible for physicians and hospitals to deliver medical care without losing money. Insurance companies struggle to find physicians and hospitals willing to accept lower payment rates, so they settle for any physician(s) and hospitals willing to contract with the plan(s), with little concern regarding the quality of care for subscribers.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas lost $400 million on the PPO plans it offered as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). BCBS paid for medical care provided to people who purchased ACA plans, but the premiums they collected did not come close to covering the money they paid out for the medical care the ACA patients received. "We felt like losing $400 million is not sustainable," said Dr. Dan McCoy, chief medical officer for BCBS. The decision to discontinue PPO plans in Texas will not affect PPO coverage offered through employers. This is because in most cases group plans are self-funded by companies, which means insurance companies like BCBS serve as third party administrators tasked with processing claims and providing customer service.
The "private" insurance companies have been federealized through the ACA. Insurance companies are heavily regulated by the federal government to the point that they have to ask federal regulators for permission to raise premiums. If BCBS wants to raise the premiums on any of the plans it offers on the Obamacare exchanges, it has to ask permission from the fedgov bureaucrats.
BCBS of Texas plans to ask the fedgov bureaucrats for a 19.97 percent premium hike on the plans it will offer in 2016. Health insurance companies who offer Obamacare exchange plans are seeking anywhere from a 20 to 40 percent premium increase for next year. Premium increases won't cover the medical costs for the ACA patients, so taxpayers will have to cover the premiums for the ACA patients and cover the insurance companies' losses.
The dirty little secret insurance companies and the Obama administration don't want you to know is that Section 1342 of the Affordable Care Act requires John Q. Taxpayer to cover any losses insurance companies incur selling plans on the Obamacare exchanges. BCBS of Texas will not have to take the $400 million loss on its ACA plans. John Q. Taxpayer is going to foot the bill for the ACA patients and the insurance companies.
BCBS of Texas made the decision to stop selling PPO plans as part of the ACA because the medical costs associated with the patients who enrolled on the plans make them unsustainable. The decision will force at least 367,000 people in Texas to elect a plan that provides a narrow network of physicians and hospitals. HMO plans provide poor care and insufficient access to care, but do provide insurance companies with the ability to manage a patient's care at the detriment of the patient.
The ACA has destroyed health care in America. It has federalized the entire health care industry. The ACA is an albatross around the necks of the American people, and for John Q. Taxpayer it is another fedgov program he has to cover with his tax dollars. Of course, if the money isn't there, the federal government will borrow it. Utopia is expensive!
