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.
Hey everyone, my name is Lance Hotchkiss, support main and support for my challenger team Yolo Queue Strats, currently ranked #7 on the ladder. I've been playing League of Legends for nearly 4 years now, and I'm here writing these guides to share with you what I've learned and help you to advance quickly with the knowledge I can share with you. I'm here today with a guide on Sona, the Maven of the Strings.
Sona is a very strong support champion with strong pokes, fantastic auras, and a fight breaking ultimate, and in this guide I'm going to be showing you how to maximize your success when playing her.
For Sona runes, I like to run:
Hybrid Pen Reds to maximize damage from Crescendo, and the active and passive damages from Hymn of Valor(Q) since it gives bonus AD/AP stats.
Armor yellows: pretty mandatory in most games, especially playing the bot lane
Magic resist blue x6 and flat mana regen blue x3: magic resist blues are fairly standard on most champs, its quite good on supports to avoid being blown up by the enemy AP champions, and I also take 3 flat mana regen blues to help with Sona's mana problems to help spam more
1 HP, 1 mana regen per lvl, and 1 armor quint: These quints help to accentuate the other runes in this page, mana regen per level to give good mana regen later as well as early with the flat regens, armor quint to help with trades in bot lane where the ADC and support will be auto attacking alot, and a health quint to add that extra bit of tankyness and make that 17 armor go the extra mile.
The top tier standard of support masteries is 1/13/16, and these masteries are my preferred skilling order. The main purpose behind these masteries is to get the block mastery 13 points into the defense tree which, when combined with 2/2 of the Unyielding mastery and a Doran's Shield, grants a total of 13 damage blocked per champion basic attack. What this amounts to is a much tankier support champion with a low price tag.
In the utility tree, going 16 points allows you to take most of the hardcore support masteries such as biscuiteer, explorer, greed(4/4) wealth(2/2), meditation(3/3) and mastermind(3/3), while also picking up improved recall and summoner's insight masteries.
Instead of venturing 1 point further for the pickpocket mastery, I opt for the offense tree's Summoner's Wrath mastery point, to improve on the effectiveness of the Exhaust summoner spell(-10 armor and MR for 2.5 seconds adds up to alot of bonus damage with 2+ people beating away at the target!)
On most supports(Sona included), you don't commonly get to finish a 6 item build. In fact, most 6 item support builds always leave a spot open for extra wards, and you will be expected by your team to continuously be buying wards and oracles elixirs from midgame and beyond to properly give vision and deny vision. But even still, there are some big common purchases Sona support should be getting at a bare minimum each game. Sightstone, philo stone/chalice, lucidity or 5 speed boots, and Doran's Shield are all your friends, cheap purchases that make you an effective support.
When you have accrued a bit of bonus cash after a teamfight or something like tower/dragon/baron, buying Shurelya's Reverie for your team can force engages, disengages, or help allies to reposition properly and chase enemies in a teamfight, espescially when combined with the movespeed from your E.
Locket of the Iron Solari, Mikael's Crucible, Twin Shadows, and Warden's Mail are also great pickups which make you tankier and provide good team auras or powerful effects.
You should be buying as many oracles elixirs and wards for your team as you can past 16 to 20 minutes ingame, stopping after every few oracles to let yourself splurge on a team aura item.
Skills/Skilling Sequence
Sona's strongest aspect is her poke in lane. Because of this, you will be maxing your Q. Memorize the range, it is deceptively large. You will have this skill maxed by level 9. The passive of this ability is useful to keep up in lane because it helps you/your marksman with last hitting, pokes, tower attacking, and when you have 3 notes of your passive, the double damage auto attack from being in Q does ALOT of damage combined with the normal poking damage of this ability.
At level 2, you will take your W. If you get into a close trade with your oppposing bot lane, manage a kill and level up, skilling another point in W can save you or your marksman with the increased resistance aura and stronger heal, and it can make a big save, or force the remaining enemy bot laners/jungler to commit into a fight resulting in another kill for your team! At level 8 you will be skilling this heal for the second time, and you will max it second. The passive from this ability is useful to mitigate counterpoke, reduce damage from incoming tower shots and engaging enemy players, and after 3 songs, the 20% damage reduction you apply to a target enemy champion acts like a miniature exhaust onto engaging enemy assasins. Very powerful!
When you reach level 4, you should be skilling your E. Of the 4 of your abilities, this is the least useful, but it still has a strong role in Sona's kit. Her E gives herself, her allies, and nearby minions a speed boost, like a miniature Shurelyas. YES, this means when you are about to siege a tower you can actually run back to your incoming minion wave and speed them up, getting them to the tower faster for quicker hits on the tower. This spell is great also for walking back to lane, since it also gives movespeed passively, running away from ganks, and after 3 spells, the slow you can apply onto an enemy with your next auto attack is an invaluable tool for ganks. The slow is also decent at helping you gain some distance away from enemies trying to chase you down and assassinate you.
At 6, 11, and 16 you will skill your R, Crescendo. This is arguably the most difficult part about playing Sona, because the ability has a long cooldown, and if you miss the ability it can easily make or break a teamfight.That is an example of a near perfect Sona ultimate. She has her team right next to her to follow up, and it is hitting all 3 members of the enemy team in vision. Notice in particular, how Elise is hit with the Crescendo too. The hit box for the ultimate is actually very wide at the beginning and thins out towards the end, which will take some time perfecting.
Just try and think of her ult's hitbox as a vault box
When playing Sona, I like to run Exhaust/Flash for summoner spells.
Flash is a must-have, and with the 1 point in the offense tree, my Exhaust reduces the focus target's MR and armor by 10, which adds a lot of damage over 2.5 seconds of focus.
Ignite and heal would also make decent pickups, with ignite being used to burst down targets in lane or during ganks, and heal being used to swing team fights and add on to Sona's strong aura and AoE abilities.
Ranked Play
In ranked games, Sona is one of the most powerful and versatile supports. Her kit makes her a very safe pick for poke comps, teamfight comps, and she does very well in lane with her versatile kit. I would even go so far to say Sona is one of, if not THE strongest support atm even with all the nerfs she has received(with Zyra, Nami, Lulu and Thresh being up there too)
Pros / Cons
Safe Pick
Strong poke
Easy to learn
Amazing team auras
Strong kill potential at 6
Slow moving
Mana intensive(when spamming W or in teamfights)
Auto attacking to apply passive or otherwise can put you in harms way
Very positioning dependant
That will do it for my guide on Sona! Her kit is very strong and versatile, and allows her to be a strong lane bully with her mana bar as her only limitation since she is able to freely dish out damage and sustain poke back with her heal, escape with her E, and all in with her Crescendo. If you can keep wards up for your team, position properly, and play smartly, you will find yourself gaining much elo, and many friends :)

I attended the Genocide Prevention Seminar over the past two days. The United Nations Office of the Special Advisers on the Prevention of Genocide and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy invited several NGOs around Geneva to discuss effective and practical means for all key stakeholders to contribute to preventing genocide and mass atrocities. Two other co-workers and I represented International Bridges to Justice at the seminar.
It was an incredible experience because it was my first exposure to the academia realm of Genocide. I love seminars like this because it gives me a solid foundation for understanding the issues of a particular field. It is as though I'm given a snapshot of where the issue is currently, where it has been, and where it needs to go. Getting into a new field requires understanding not just what the field is about, but how people in the field approach the issue, particularly getting used to the rhetoric.
Networking lesson learned: Even as students, we always have something to offer. Most of the time, it's our curiosity. Speakers and attendees are always more than willing to answer questions you have. When strapped for a conversation topic, ask:
- Why they are at the event
- What they hope to get from the event
- What projects they are working on currently
These questions are taken straight from seminar evaluation questionnaires, but they break the ice really well. Mostly because people are very comfortable talking about themselves. Even though it is tempting to stick to talking only to other interns, it is worth your time to seek out the speakers, panelists, or those who have been employed in the field for a number of years.
The speakers, aka name dropping:
Dr Adam Jones is an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia and the Executive Director of Gendercide Watch. He has researched and written extensively on preventing genocide and mass atrocity crimes.
Dr David J. Simon is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Yale University, Acting Director of the Genocide Studies Program and a member of the Council on African Studies. His research focuses on the Rwandan genocide, addressing the prospects of reconciliation, the avenues of post-genocide justice and the roles of international actors in Rwanda.
Dr Rama Mani obtained her Ph.D in Political Science from the University of Cambridge. Dr Mani is the Project Director of "Ending Mass Atrocities – Echoes in Southern Cultures" at Centre for International Studies University of Oxford with Ralphe Bunche Institute, City University of New York. She has researched extensively on the responsibility to protect concept specifically from the global south perspective.
Dr Khalid Koser is Academic Dean and Head of the New Issues in Security Programme. He is also Non-Resident Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C., Research Associate at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Non-resident Fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, Australia, and Associate Fellow of the Global Health Security Programme at Chatham House.
I was nominated to summarize my group's discussion because, apparently, it wasn't enough that I volunteered to take notes.
I'm laughing because the other attendees were giving me grief for how long the self-timer on my camera took to take a picture.
- During the coffee break, I likened getting all the efforts coordinated for genocide prevention to raising a barn. Two of the speakers, Dr. Adam Jones and Dr. David Simon, joked that they're going to use "Raising the Barn" as the title to their next book. They agreed to give me a shout-out in their book for contributing to the book's title.
- Getting to sit down with Dr. Rama Mani, one of the speakers, after the seminar to discuss the relationship between culture and legal advocacy and its implications for future lawyers.

Nine year battle reaches crescendo as Court of Appeal grants music venue lifeline in fight against developers
23 February 2016
The George Tavern in East London has been given a lifeline to make its case at the Court of Appeal as it was granted the right to appeal against plans to build flats next to the established music venue and pub. The luxury flats pose a significant threat to the future of the George, a pub famous for its live music.
Important grassroots music venues are under threat all over the country. In London 35% of the grassroots venues have closed over the last eight years, many as a result of inappropriate development on their doorstep.
The George's case is a test case for music venues, pubs and other established businesses facing similar situations across the country. The Court of Appeal will consider whether planning authorities should allow new development, if it threatens established licensed premises. In particular, the Court will consider whether complaints from residents of any new development will put the operating licences of live music venues at risk.
A 600 year old, Grade II listed building located at 373 Commercial Road, Stepney, East London, the George Tavern has hosted the likes of Nick Cave, Plan B, John Cooper Clarke, The Magic Numbers, Kodaline and even Sir Roger Penrose on its intimate stage.
A nine year campaign against the building of these flats by property developers has been backed by a number of celebrities and artists including Kaiser Chiefs singer and The Voice judge Ricky Wilson, Olympian diver Tom Daley, models Kate Moss and Georgia Jagger, and actor Sir Ian McKellen. Over 3,000 signed a petition urging the Planning Inspectorate to uphold Tower Hamlet's decision and refuse planning permission for the six residential units.
The George Tavern were represented by Annabel Graham Paul of Francis Taylor Building and Harry Campbell of Richard Buxton Environmental and Public Law.
Barrister Annabel Graham Paul said, "At the moment the law is failing licensed operators. Too many good music venues are facing closure because of inappropriate development. Local Authorities are confused about the relationship between planning and licensing decisions, and I'm pleased that the Court of Appeal has recognised it needs to examine this".
Landlady Pauline Forster said, "We're ecstatic that we've been given another chance to make our case to the Court of Appeal. As well as fighting for our own future, we're fighting for the future of live music in London and across the country. We desperately need a common sense approach to planning and music venues and hope that a successful outcome for us can lead the way for other pubs and venues who are having to deal with inappropriate property development."
James Ketchell, Chief Executive of Music Heritage UK who have been supporting the campaign said, "We're delighted that Pauline and the George Tavern have been given another chance. We only hope that common sense will ultimately prevail and that this unique and historic venue can be allowed to continue to provide a stage for new music."
The George Tavern has launched a new petition so music fans can voice their support for the music venue to the Court of Appeal. The petition can be viewed at: www.change.org/p/sign-our-petition-to-the-court-of-appeal-savethegeorgetavern
They are also fundraising to help meet their mounting legal costs, please visit www.thegeorgetavernshop.wordpress.com

I Beverley Jane Russell was a life long Democrat ! That's right a Democrat !
"Confessions of a democrat", by Beverley Jane Russell – Op-ed contributor Trumpville Report
Confessions of a democrat, I finally stopped believing the lies
The Democratic party at one time was a decent party . But as time passed over a decade + , the Democratic party became unrecognizable to me. At first, for years, the shift was slow, then an avalanche hit and the destruction of a once great party was seemingly stripped of any and all dignity. The Democratic Party did more than go left it went as far left as it could possibly go! When is it okay to burn American Flags, Riot in the streets, kill babies, not say God Bless or Merry Christmas, and to let America be overrun with illegal immigrates, not prosecuting Hillary Clinton for her emails & Benghazi and lying to congress, not charge the President for treason for all his crimes against America, have an Attorney General and FBI that cover up and lie to the American People! And that's just the tip of the iceberg! I want nothing to do with, The New World Order Democratic Party!
For me at first I just stopped voting in primary elections. Then I'd vote in the fall and vote for the person not the party! After several elections, I noticed I was voting independent or Republican more and more! I'll admit that occasionally I'd vote Democrat but it was more at a county level, never state or government level. The reason was simple, I didn't identify with the values the Democratic party was beginning to embrace. I realized that the Democratic Party didn't represent me or what I stood for at all anymore. In fact it was just the opposite .
I didn't only not agree with the New Democratic party and their doctrine, I begin to see it as a cult/mobster Den. If you really think about it, it is sort of a brainwashing technique. The Democratic Party preaches time after time to everyone on every occasion that we are all racist, that the white man is to blame for everything, that we should be ashamed if we don't want illegal immigrates here, that we don't need guns that guns make us unsafe! They pit race and religion against each other. They create Hate, and White People are the race they hate, and Christianity is the religion.
But I still didn't switch party's, I surmise it was because of three things.
- I was a lifelong Democrat .
- My father was a lifelong Democrat
- I was hoping I was going thru a phase.
Like with a rebellious teenager . I thought maybe, just maybe this New World Order Democratic Party would soon disperse and I'd get my old party back. But to my dismay I was horribly wrong. Not only did I not get my party back but I watched it fall into a deep dark abyss of corruption! With integrity, honesty, and values being stripped away by a cyclone of treasonous acts! I saw time after time Democratic party leaders get away with unimaginable atrocities against America and Her citizens! I became more Angry and sickened day by day as horrific scenes of injustice played out. I watched as Democratic Leaders became Above the Law. And frankly that pissed me off !
At the same time I witnessed the demolition of the Democratic party, I also notice the Rise of the Republican Party! The Republican Party had become more center, well, I guess just right of center. The Republican Party was reforming and becoming more in tune and in touch with the American Voters!
My opinion is the Republican party saw exactly what was an inevitable disaster for the Democratic party and started actually listening to the People !
Republicans drew strength from the fractured Democratic party and more often than not Democrat's where either switching to Republican or not voting at all, which as I said, is something I was guilty of, just not voting . My father said something to me that really stuck in my head. He told me not voting because you don't like your party's candidate is ultimately like voting for them anyways, So if you are really against your parties candidate's platform but you're not 100% sold on the opposing candidate, but you agree more with this candidates platform. It's more important to vote against the one you know you don't agree with, than it is to vote for the one you agree somewhat with. My Father ( Hearl Howard ) is a smart cookie .
I have always had a deep devotion for politics. My philosophy on politics is, " It you don't vote, you have no voice to complain about anything !"
Voting is truly the one and only way your voice is counted. ((Which on a side note , I hate the electoral system , I'd like to see popular vote , but that's another story !)). As I mentioned I was an avid voter filled with American Pride, so not wanting to vote and or/not being able to vote (in Kentucky there isn't a crossover vote in the primary, you vote your party , or you don't vote.) was a Huge problem for me. I felt as if I was a patriot with no party!
The Last Straw that made me change
Simple : MR. DONALD J TRUMP !!! When Mr. Trump announced his run for President I instantly felt hope and became excited about Politics again for the first time in a long time. I watched every bit of coverage as possible, the debates, the interviews, the news, I watched and listened closely. Reading articles became my favorite pass time. In early spring 2016 I got online and switched my party to Republican ! And to be quite honest Trump running for President has made me pay a lot more attention to other Republican Party Leaders, like Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Allen West, Chris Christi, and Mike Pence, they all love our country I was astounded by how much I actually agree with the Republican party ! Problem is always in the past, far past, I liked the candidates running on Democrat ticket but that was a distant past and something that is defiantly gone now. So I started paying more attention to the Republican party and realized it was a perfect fit for my values.
If you are on the fence , ask yourself this , are you voting party or person ? Ask yourself if voting your party is truly what you feel inside . Do you completely agree with Hillary Clinton and all her lies ? Do you look at your children and know that your vote is shaping their future ! Can you consciously vote for a women that has been found to have more skeletons in her closet than a graveyard ? Can you vote Hillary just because you are a Democrat ?
Or do you still believe in a Great America ? And a Candidate that will truly defend our country , its values , and its citizens ? Do you want the freedoms , fairness , and love of country to exist for your children ? Do You believe right is right and wrong is wrong regardless of whom does the deed ?
Do you still have American Pride in your heart ?
If so then the only choice this fall is none other than
Donald J Trump ! Let you decision be based on facts .
Hillarys track record speaks for itself , she will lie , scheme and even order murder (if you believe Larry Nichols former hitman for the Clinton's see: https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=0BCrt1yIc1s ) . Hillary Clinton is a Corrupt Candidate and we know this as fact ! Can you really ,vote for and stand for Hillary knowing what you know ?
On the other hand what is the worst thing you can say about Donald Trump ? He filed bankruptcy on 4 businesses out of hundreds of businesses . That's a pretty darn good record ! Trumps Temperament ?, top shrinks say : Trump's temperament falls into the same category as such history-making former presidents as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan , see trumps temperament, Top Shrink test says Mr Trump has the exact temperament to lead our country forward and beyond .
Donald Trump is a true Patriot that loves the United States of America !As do I ! My Vote will be a vote of my conscious .
My Vote Will Be Donald J Trump !
Make America Great Again !

The outspoken Hunger Games starlet made a pre-Christmas visit to the Kosair Children's Hospital in her native Lousiville, Kentucky on Dec. 22 to spread some holiday cheer.
The Oscar-winning actress, casually clad in a flannel shirt and jeans, posed with many patients, including Wesley Sizemore, a young fan with lymphoma.
"We are a big fan of hers and she was so sweet!" his mom shared on Facebook along with this photo of them together. "She gave Wesley a signed Hunger Games poster and signed his army wall! They both saluted each other before she left."
But not everyone is singing Jen's praises lately, despite her good deed. Fashion Police host Joan Rivers told PageSix, "My New Year's resolution is [ensuring] Jennifer Lawrence grows up and realizes how lucky she is and calms down."
Jen has spoken out against shows like Fashion Police that criticize people's appearance, clothes and weight. In fact, she recently said it should be illegal to call someone fat!
Whether you think she's right or not, we can all agree that she definitely brightened up a lot of kids' days with her hospital visit.

Rooftops were ripped off and cars were badly damaged as the freak weather hit Kensal Rise in north-west London. One man suffered a serious head injury and five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and shock. Eleven fire crews were called to Chamberlayne Road, which has been cordoned off because of the debris. Witnesses said there was heavy rain and sleet, then debris flying through the air. I know this nothing compared to the ones you have in the US but I figured it was worth a mention since it's rare we get one quite so big. It's all over Sky News at the moment and lots of houses are missing walls. I feel sorry for all those people that won't be able to live in their damaged homes at Christmas.

Last summer, The Banff Farmer's Market moved to the Bear Street Parking Lot as part of a trial basis and we are happy to share that we will be there once again this upcoming season. In 2015, The Town of Banff transformed beautiful Bear street into a "Banff Woonerf" or a "living street." It had rave reviews by all and was truly a great experience bringing the community together. Learn more about it here.
What does this mean to be in the heart of downtown Banff? It means we will be centralized. Parking is still an option all around the area and the best part is we can grow the market and increase the number of vendor spaces available.
We are also excited to share that the market season has once again been extended to include 18 Wednesdays and that takes us right into the fall harvest season; ideal shopping for our Canadian Thanksgiving.
June 8th to October 5th, 2016.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello, a promising Spanish rookie, has reaped substantial rewards from the most impressive 18 holes of his short career.
Cabrera-Bello jumps queue in Tour race
Rafael Cabrera-Bello, a promising Spanish rookie, has reaped substantial rewards from the most impressive 18 holes of his short career, a round that saw him agonisingly come within a couple of inches of making an eagle putt to become the first player to shoot a magical 59 on the European Tour.
A brilliant finishing score of 60 to the Austrian Open enabled him to overturn a massive overnight deficit of seven strokes on third-round leader Benn Barham to secure his first tournament success since earning his Tour card a year ago. The bumper pay day of ?166,660 (Dh900,000) also transformed the 25-year-old from one of the likely failures in the inaugural Race to Dubai into one of the provisional 60 starters for the Dubai World Championship (DWC) at Jumeirah Golf Estates in November. Cabrera-Bello makes a significant jump to 46th place in the exciting "Race" which now has less than two months to run before reaching its high-profile conclusion on Greg Norman's new Earth course.
"It's amazing," he said after smashing his previous record score of 64 as a professional. "I've played the best golf of my life and I can't believe it." Few of his rivals could believe it either after watching the youngster fail to make eight of the last 10 halfway cuts. On this rare occasion of featuring in the finale to a tournament he played without inhibitions, as he reflected: "I was so far back I wasn't thinking about winning. I just tried to play a shot at a time and today it worked out really, really well."
Cabrero-Bello's earnings of ?528,776 give him a ?78,000 buffer over Frenchman Christian Cavaer, who occupies the 61st position on the wrong side of the dividing line with eight qualifying events remaining. Bradley Dredge, of Wales, is currently the last of the qualifiers but there are bound to be many more ups and downs before the entry list is confirmed for the season-ending showpiece which runs from November 19 to 22.
Leading the guaranteed qualifiers for that lucrative event are three figures familiar to UAE crowds. Germany's Martin Kaymer and England's Paul Casey, winners of the last two Abu Dhabi championships, are within ?17,000 of each other as both prepare to break through the ?2m seasonal earnings barrier. Their closest pursuer is Rory McIlroy, the young Irishman who recorded his maiden victory as a professional at this year's Dubai Desert Classic.
Barham's chances would have improved considerably had he not squandered such a commanding lead in Austria on Sunday afternoon. Lying in 126th position, he now needs several huge pay packets to make the top 60 cut. Barham, who has not yet earned enough money to avoid a return to qualifying school, admitted it was "very hard to take" after his closing round of 69 left him one stroke adrift of Cabrera-Bello's winning aggregate of 264. "I am very happy with the way I played this week but obviously disappointed to finish second," said the Englishman.

As 2016 comes to a close, we want to thank you for sharing our adventures with us. We wish you all a happy and healthy 2017 filled with love and adventure.
Rain, rain and more rain. That's been the weather forecast on Bonaire for the past month. But we're not complaining. This desert island, along with its flora and fauna, welcome the life-giving H20.
The increased rains also mean that dive and snorkel conditions have been less than optimal. But it's still Bonaire, which means that the diving is still incredible.
Here are some scenes from the island this week.
How are you celebrating the new year? As tradition dictates, Bonaire will have multiple fireworks displays on the waterfront tonight.

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
No firm has contributed more to the favorable development of the law of punitive damages than Mayer Brown.
Mayer Brown has saved clients more than $3.5 Billion dollars in punitive damages as of August 2015. Click on the map below to see where.
Mayer Brown lawyers have been involved in all of the significant punitive damages cases before the US Supreme Court since the late 1980s, serving as counsel of record for the business defendant in four of those cases, including BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559 (1996), the Court's landmark case on excessive punitive damages, and Philip Morris USA v. Williams, 549 U.S. 346 (2007). The firm's Punitive Damages practice also authored influential amicus briefs for the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408 (2003), and Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Leatherman Tool Group, Inc., 532 U.S. 424 (2001), and for a consortium of amici in Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, 554 U.S. 471 (2008). In addition, members of our Punitive Damages practice have represented business defendants and amici in punitive damages litigation in federal and state courts throughout the United States, including in the capacity of national coordinating counsel. We have assisted clients at all stages of punitive damages litigation, from developing defenses and drafting motions in limine to assisting with post-trial motions and handling appeals.
We have enjoyed a high degree of success in the scores of punitive damages cases in which we have been involved. In several cases, appellate courts reversed and rendered judgment in favor of our clients. In numerous other cases, we succeeded in obtaining new trials or very substantial reductions of the punitive award. Collectively, our clients have saved more than $3.5 billion as a result of appeals and/or post-trial motions handled by our Punitive Damages practice.
Mayer Brown lawyers have published extensively on the subject of punitive damages, including a chapter on litigating punitive damages cases in the multi-volume treatise Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts (Robert L. Haig editor, 4th ed., West 2016). That chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of tactical issues involved in litigating all phases of a case in which punitive damages are sought. In addition, our lawyers have participated in numerous panels on punitive damages, including leading a full-day interactive session on the topic with key clients of the firm.
Mayer Brown is a global legal services provider comprising legal practices that are separate entities (the "Mayer Brown Practices"). The Mayer Brown Practices are: Mayer Brown LLP and Mayer Brown Europe-Brussels LLP, both limited liability partnerships established in Illinois USA; Mayer Brown International LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales (authorized and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and registered in England and Wales number OC 303359); Mayer Brown, a SELAS established in France; Mayer Brown Mexico, S.C., a sociedad civil formed under the laws of the State of Durango, Mexico; Mayer Brown JSM, a Hong Kong partnership and its associated legal practices in Asia; and Tauil & Chequer Advogados, a Brazilian law partnership with which Mayer Brown is associated.

Game 152 Recap: NYY 0 TB 2/
Game 152 was painful to watch as the Tampa Bay Rays shut the Yankees out, 2-0. Luis Cessa pitched a fine game, giving up two runs in six innings of work, but it was all for naught as the Yankees could not scratch in a run despite numerous opportunities.
Blake Snell started for the Bay Rays and pitched five stressful innings. He gave up five hits and walked three. But like Bruce Willis in "Die Hard", he defied the odds and got the outs he needed.
The Yankees had a pitiful night with runners on base. Tip your cap to the pitching or kick the batters in the shins? Who knows. What is known is that Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury started the game with two singles and neither scored as Gary Sanchez and Billy Butler struck out and Mark Teixeira popped out to first.
Cessa gave up a run in the first on three singles, the last one to Brad Miller--that guy again. And in the old days, that would count as the game-winning RBI. After that run, Cessa closed the door on the Rays until the sixth when Corey Dickerson hit another homer off the Yankees.
Meanwhile, the Yankees' stranded base runners started to pile up. There were two in the first, one in the second, three in the third, one in the fourth, one in the fifth and one in the sixth. The team did not go down 1-2-3 until the seventh at the hands of old friend, Chase Whitley.
All in all, the Yankees left eleven men on base for the game and were 0-9 with men in scoring position. Cessa deserved better.
- Chase Whitley pitched two and two thirds for the Rays and earned his third hold and has not given up a run for the Rays. I always liked him.
- Luis Severino was again spectacular in relief.
- Mark Teixeira saw 24 pitches in his four at bats but only put one of them in play--that pop out in the first. A guy with a .622 OPS should be batting fifth, right?
- Aaron Hicks was back in the lineup (tepid clapping) and had two hits.
- Gary Sanchez was pitched around as he walked twice. He did pick Curt Casali off of second base with a laser. What was Casali doing?
The Tigers won both games of a double-header. The Orioles and the Astros lost. The wildcard is getting remoter and remoter. The Yankees go to Toronto from here to play a weekend series.

File this under "useful useless information."
Did you know your favorite celeb can be determined based on your Halloween candy preferences? Color us intrigued. If you prefer Kit-Kat, do you know what that says about your thoughts on Ben Affleck? How about Angelina Jolie? If you're reading this with a mouth full of candy corn, what does that say about your interest in Rihanna?
The folks over at Ranker have divined some pretty fascinating answers to those hard-hitting questions. They've even determined the answer to the age-old quandary: If you like M&M's, do you like Eminem? Sadly, the answer is no. Shocking, right? If you've always been curious as to what your sweet tooth says about your celeb-loving ways, answers await:
If you like to PMS with a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, your Netflix and chill routine probably involves a whole lot of Black Swan and The Notebook. Why? PB Cups lovers' favorite celebs are Ryan Gosling and Mila Kunis. That's all fine and dandy, but what about Reese Witherspoon!?
Sorry. Had to.
Twix people like Bill Murray and Jennifer Aniston. Meaning that their OkCupid profile probably lists every hip Wes Anderson movie Murray's ever been in as their main interests, but behind closed doors they're still secretly binge-watching all of their favorite Friends episodes from high-school. Just live your truth, boo-boos.
We kind of get why Kit-Kat enthusiasts vibe with George Clooney and Charlize TheronAll three of the aforementioned items are captivating, beautiful and delicious.
Snickers peeps are into Johnny Depp and Ellen DeGeneres. Then again, Snickers or not, who isn't into these two?
You might not see any M&M fans wildin' out at an Eminem show, but they may be purchasing the treat at a sensible Matt Damonor Sandra Bullock flick. We're looking at you, dad.
Fans of Hershey's Miniatures are into Robert Downey Jr.and Rihanna. Candy corn lovers would rather skip Halloween than shine bright like a diamond, however. Sorry, RiRi.
We're guessing Beyoncé is the pink one, and Chris Pine is the red? Certainly that's what Starburst fans would say about their two favorite celebs, don't you agree?
Friends of the Butterfinger enjoy Matthew MConaughey and Carrie Underwood Fans of Butterfingers also don't mind flossing their teeth for an hour after they enjoy their favorite candy bar. Cheers.
Skittles people love Louis C.K. and Jessica Biel They're also the kind of people who probably threw candy at their TV when a judge overturned the Deflategate decision. Sorry Tom Brady, they're just not that into you.
If you spy a rogue melted Gummy Bear in the crevice of your friends couch, you're most likely in the presence of a Joseph Gordon-Levitt and/or Ashley Benson fan. The more you know, right?
Candy corn lovers may not be able to get down with RiRi, but they are into Chris Rock and Angelina Jolie. Hopefully, you'll now be able to pass your SAT with that tidbit of helpful information.
Speaking of candy, watch Nicole Richie talk Halloween plans!

My favorite testimonial! This shows so clearly what I LOVE to do – help people break out of the boxes that are affecting their health, relationships and overall sense of well-being!
Here are some other perspectives from clients and workshop participants:
"For me, meeting with Jolina was an invaluable, life changing experience. Right away, Jolina's warm, empathetic, and relaxed demeanor made me feel comfortable and supported. Moreover, her insightful questions challenged me to look deeper into my experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Working with Jolina is the perfect blend of contemplating life's deep, big-picture questions and learning practical skills that are easily incorporated in every day life. She taught me a multitude of skills, including how to handle strong emotions, how to make difficult decisions, how to develop more meaningful relationships, how to live in line with my core values, and how to appreciate myself while continuing to grow as a person. I will forever be grateful to Jolina for changing how I view the world and helping me to become a more confident, grounded, and independent person."
Ms O
"Before working with Jolina, I had a lot of relationship and self-worth issues. I hadn't ever experienced a fulfilling, deeply loving relationship and also had not dealt with my emotional baggage left from my marriage breakdown and I always felt less than in the company of what I perceived as 'successful people'. So my self esteem was really low. This of course was causing great emotional and financial pains and it was time to move past this.
Now I have moved on to a really good space and am grateful to say that I now have 2 very successful companies, I regularly mix with and do business with amazing multimillionaire entrepreneurs and do that from a space of knowing I am worthy and VERY capable!
Jolina has the unique ability to put a different spin on any situation and you go from feeling hopeless and lost to a feeling of being in control and empowered – very quickly.
You see a whole new perspective on life! Jolina opens your eyes to new ways and quickly shifts you to a place of seeing how you can use any situation to serve you and help make you grow as a person so you have a life you love!
Jolina is kind and patient with such an easy manner and at the same time knows when to help you get you to the 'real issues' and get out of your comfort zone. All designed to help you be the best you can be in life.
I am very, very grateful to have Jolina in my corner, she has changed my life – THANK YOU!"
Kim P (Entrepreneur)
"Before I worked with Jolina I was a functional mess—my life was out of balance but to most people I looked fine. The disparency between who I had become and who I wanted to be was so out of alignment that I often ended up in deep depressions where more than once I considered suicide. Now my life is more in balance and have found the courage to privately and publicly acknowledge what I want to do with my life—become an artist. Jolina showed me how to shift my perspective, honor my non-dominate side, and ask probing questions to access the deeper workings of my emotions. To say that working with Jolina saved my life, my marriage and my relationships with my family is not an exaggeration. Thank you Jolina."
Lucy F (Artist)
"This makes so much sense …I can't believe I haven't heard it before! Why isn't this being taught in my psychology classes?" John P, Psychology graduate student
"I got more out of this than from 6 years of therapy! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Thank you!" Tracy M, Entrepreneur
"I am amazed at how differently I see my family now" Katie, 18 year old Senior in High School
"It really depersonalizes conflicts …so we can have a real conversation. With this information there's so much freedom for my family members to be who they are!"
Mark S, Medical Doctor
"Imagine my surprise when, following the 2 day workshop, my grumpy, emotionally shut-off husband transformed into a reticent, sensitive and affectionate man, very like the man I fell in love with, over 20 years ago and he was not even at the workshop! This is a unique and challenging workshop. All I can say is: DO IT!!" – Susan F, Psychotherapist
"The workshop changed the whole way I look at myself and others—with greater understanding, acceptance, and therefore, love. It helped me to look back at the activities, careers chosen throughout my life and make sense of their purpose in my life. I'm also experiencing greater love and compassion for my loved ones when we have disagreements. They are simply seeking their values and I am seeking mine. I can love us both for our different pulls. The workshop has brought me unexpected peace."
Nanci, Licensed Professional Counselor
"My Grand Organized Design: That was incredible. My heart was opened and I have never felt anything like it. I feel educated, enlightened, informed, understood and loved. Your presentation skills are excellent. A perfect balance of teacher, mentor and friend. Thank you for what you do. Please do not stop building this. You can take this as far as you can imagine".
– Deb, Business Owner/Entrepreneur
"Learning the science behind how I project and how I get sucked into duality makes it easier for me to own my emotions to not take events as personally and to be more responsible emotionally." Jeremy, Contractor
"I feel free." – Leslie M.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the information covered and it's presentation. It was a very valuable reinforcement of concepts that I needed more clarity on. Personally, I already see how it will facilitate my own growth with regards to relationships, including with myself! Thanks."
Jeri, Psychotherapist.
"The material was brilliantly assembled and presented. The concepts are not new to me but the alchemy of them is powerful. I can feel my resistance rearing up then wisdom trickles in. The value system information was really amazing information. I had never thought about this before. I am really resistant to doing the work although I see how powerful it is. I am thrilled to be "forced" to work with it. You are really getting me to think!!! I love it!"
– Maureen, Entrepreneur, Media Personality.

When I got up this morning, I could think of nothing to write on the blog today, but then on Facebook, a friend (who happens to be a very talented screenwriter) posted this:
Dear Universe:
More hours in the day.
More days in the week.
The need for less sleep.
More productivity.
Thank you,
I guess I know what he means, but this sentiment makes me a little sad, because he was essentially asking for more time to work. And I get it – many days feel rushed and jammed with unfinished tasks and the desire to be more productive, but that is such a skewed set of priorities. How about more hours in the day to kiss loved ones? More days in the week to travel to interesting places? The need for less sleep to…wait…I got nothing on this one. Sleep is a gift from God, and we should all be wanting more of it, not less. And More productivity? In the garden, maybe. At the piano. Reading books. Cooking special meals. Teaching a child a new skill. Making the world a better place.
But more productivity at work? Only if it affords you the freedom to kiss loved ones, travel to interesting places, garden, play piano, read books, cook special meals, teach children new skills. Make the world a better place. Sleep.
I know a lot of people who love their work. They truly enjoy doing it. But the happiest people are the ones who enjoy not doing it, too. Dear Universe: a little more balance please, and the ability to make choices that make me happy, even if they don't conform to the general notions of Productivity.
(and by the way, Universe, thanks for the gift of a blog post topic right when I needed one…)

Review: Friends and Foes by Sarah M. Eden (5 stars, historical)
Full Description: Amazon
Rating: 5 out of 5
Thoughts After Reading:
Friends and Foes was a charming regency romance that was clean of anything more than a few kisses. The relationship is gradually and genuinely formed, and there is no significant angst. Instead, the major conflict revolves around a fairly realistic spy plot that doesn't detract from the romance.
The hero is a 28-year old spy (and earl), who has been pretending to be dandy for the last several years in order to seem less suspicious. The heroine is 23-year lady was has a serious limp after being trampled by a horse. As a result, she has become somewhat bitter. The couple end up at a house party along with their respective families after a chance meeting.When the hero unconsciously insults the heroine thoroughly, the two individuals declare "war" upon each other. This leads to some great verbal sparring as the couple come to understand and care for each other at a deeper level. The frequent humor is witty and enjoyable, even if seems a trifle forced at the beginning. There is some suspense at the end as the reader wonders if both the hero and heroine will come out alive after tangling with a legendary french spy :). In conclusion, it was an all-around great read.

If and when a jury finally sits down to decide a copyright infringement suit case against a so-called "independent" Star Trek fan-film – they'll have a very simple job.
Are Star Trek: Axanar and other related shorts substantially similar to Star Trek itself? If the answer is yes, then CBS Studios and Paramount Pictures will score a complete victory after a federal judge rejected nearly all the defense offered by Axanar Productions and its principal Alec Peters.
R. Gary Klausner issued his order Tuesday, but was finally made public Wednesday, popping in Star Trek Easter eggs like famous Vulcan sayings, and even names of Star Trek episodes like "A Private Little War" and "The Way to Eden."
Essentially, Klausner denied both sides their motions for summary judgment, meaning that unless there's a settlement in the next few weeks, the Axanar case goes in front of a jury at the end of the month. However, in doing so, the judge gutted just about anything Axanar's attorneys could use to defend the fan-film, leaving just the substantial similarity decision to the jury.
"There is no dispute that plaintiffs have ownership of copyrights to the Star Trek copyrighted works, and that defendants have access to these works. Thus, the copyright infringement claim can live long and prosper if the Axanar works are substantially similar to the Star Trek copyrighted works."
CBS and Paramount filed the lawsuit against Axanar and Peters more than a year ago, attacking the fan-film project that raised more than $1.4 million, and resulted in just a couple of shorts as well as what they claimed was a commercial studio Axanar built just outside of Los Angeles. It was the first time the studios ever took legal action against a fan-film, a community that has grown over the years thanks to works like Star Trek: New Voyages and Star Trek Continues.
While those projects were allowed to raise money and distribute episodes online for free, Axanar took it several steps too far, CBS and Paramount claimed. Not only was there a studio constructed that could be rented out to other productions, but Axanar tried to license their Star Trek through products, and even an attempt to get Axanar on Netflix.
Axanar's attorneys tried to claim the fan-film was protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as parody, and that main characters like Garth of Izar from the original Star Trek were far too obscure to protect by copyright.
Klausner rejected all of that, concluding Garth of Izar was indeed entitled to copyright protection, not just from the 1960s episode he appeared in, but also from a 2003 novel published through a Paramount subsidiary.
The judge also said despite Axanar's protests, character races like the Klingons and Vulcans are indeed protectable. As are specific costumes, like the one that was repurposed from the actual Klingon uniform worn by Christopher Plummer in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Klausner applied his own substantial similarity test to Axanar, comparing what the fan-film was looking to create and what is considered part of the Star Trek universe. Under his test, he concluded Axanar was indeed seeking to "create an authentic and independent Star Trek film that (stayed) true to Star Trek canon, down to excruciating details."
"Indeed, defendants use and reference so many distinctive and widely recognized elements from the Star Trek universe that the Axanar works invoke Star Trek in the minds of viewers. Together, these elements are 'qualitatively important' enough for finding of substantial similarity, even if they are 'relatively small in proportion to the entire work' (which they arguably are not)."
The other major argument Axanar's attorneys made was that the free distribution of a fan-film not only doesn't hurt the Star Trek brand, but it can actually help it. They also maintained that because there was no actual profit to be made – despite people like Peters collecting salaries and having personal expenses paid from donor money – Axanar was not a commercial project.
Klausner rejected all of that, deciding that Axanar was creating a Star Trek project without paying CBS and Paramount a license fee, and that Peters and other members of the Axanar team hoped to use their Star Trek project as a way to land other paying job opportunities outside of Star Trek.
All of that fit what the court called the "exploitation of the copyrighted material without paying the customary price."
Finally, Klausner denied Axanar's defense that their fan-film was "transformative," because they were parody in the form of a "mockumentary."
"For the purposes of copyright law, however, parody must use some elements of a prior work to create a new work that criticizes the substance or style of the prior work."
"Here, the court has difficulty discerning from the Axanar works any criticism of the Star Trek copyrighted works. This is not surprising since defendants set out to create films that stay faithful to the Star Trek canon, and appeal to Star Trek fans."
The final decision on whether Axanar is indeed substantially similar to Star Trek will now be left to a jury, Klausner said. If the jury does not find substantial similarity, then Axanar did not infringe, and everything else will be moot. However, if the jury finds in favor of CBS and Paramount, it's game over, because Axanar has no other defenses it can use … the case would then move to damages.
CBS and Paramount have asked for either actual damages, or statutory damages, which could equate to as much as $150,000 per infringement.
Damages could ultimately reach seven digits – money Axanar may not actually have. According to court documents provided by CBS and Paramount, none of the $1.4 million raised by Axanar is left.
Those damages could be limited if a jury, however, finds that Peter was not "willful" in any decision that he infringed on copyright. The judge said he wouldn't decide personally whether Peters was willful in his actions, saying some of his statements surrounding the Axanar production contradicts past emails he would send to CBS claiming other fan-films were infringing on copyright.
The ruling could fuel renewed settlement talks between the sides, heavily in favor of CBS and Paramount. If there is no settlement, the case goes in front of the jury beginning Jan. 31.
This story was updated at 12:42 p.m. to include more details on the damages phase of the trial.

kite surf shop OK but make my feet sweat.Shame I wore them outside as I'd like to give them back.Expensive for what they are in my view. .......very poor foot support and not up to the job of walking anywhere with significant foot pain after a while if I do Not a patch on the Gtx vibram products from Merrill I had before. I now Seldom wear these. Bought a pair of Scarpa approach shoes to replace. A different league altogether. There Merrill's are for walking to your car, driving and wearing in the pub. Not for walking! These trainers are superb, they are sturdy and well made. If you have any chance of walking on an even slightly damp tiled floor, these are probably not for you. Ever since DC started targeting shoe lines to women about ten years ago, it's been hard for me to find a pair I actually liked and that wasn't covered in pink graffiti or something as awful, while their male lines kept getting better and cool looking but without smaller sizing. These sneakers are a good compromise - comfortable, a St Paul mudOverall very pleased with the shoes and would buy again. These shoes fit, are comfortable and are as described. The colours are rather subdued but where's the problem in that? The only 'downside' I can find is that they, for me, are not a good shoe to drive in. I bought a pair of size 12s. They feel good and solid, fairly light, a good grip. I bought at £22 and feel they are good value. I don't know how waterproof they are yet. No regrets. A little on the large side for a 9, but if I get some inners I'll survive :-) Size ten would have been better with Ten and a half , not small just neat, differance of thick and thin sock best cribs A sturdier version of the classic trainer, these are in suede so great for winter. Don't soak your feet in the rain! For the price paid, these were exceptionally poor quality. Big gaps between the sole of the shoe and the edge like they have been badly made, not been worn yet but not really looking forward to wearing them, would send them back but they were for a gift - made me look silly when I gave them as you can tell they are either nock offs or not genuine. It's no wonder that these shoes have been around for so long, they are classic! These shoes are very supportive and they look excellent, too. I was worried when I first wore them because they hurt my heels, but I found a solution. Instead of lacing them all the way to the top, leave the top holes free. They no longer hurt and they are so comfortable! I can't recommend these enough! Fantastic old skool skate shoes, I went for the black shoe with a white stripe down the side and I think they look g www.somnomed.co.uk another color as well. having worn these shoes for only three weeks the stiching has com undone on the leather upper on the right shoe. Making it look like they are ready for the bin I saw these shoes somewhere else but i decided to shop around and found they were cheaper on Amazon. I love the colour. I know they are just grey but i like it. They are comfortable. Before i purchased them, i read the other reviews and was a bit worried as some people wrote that they ordered their normal size and found they didn't fit as they were too big. I'm a size 4, i ordered a 4 and they fit perfect! The only little niggle i have about them is that the laces are too long, but that is something and nothing. It is easily put right. look nice, order a size 7 and they were a little big, wished id gone down a size but for the price they will see my holiday threw these plimsoles are lovely but unfortunately WAY too big for me, I ordered size 3 and they were at least 2 sizes too big had to send them back and i.
from hindi to english Shoo continue to make more gorgeous shoes in larger sizes (8s please ?)
Stunning pair of shoes. They are sadly ever so slightly a tight fit. I will need to wear them around the house for some time before I can wear them all day. This is my second purchase of Ruby Shoos, the first pair were a perfect fit. Currently trying to decide which other pair of Ruby Shoos I'd like next.
Love these shoes they are a must have in any girls wardrobe so many friends have asked me where I got them ,,, ? My secret !
The shoes arrived promptly and are of very good quality. They look exactly as specified on the website and I am very happy with my purchase.
Stunning shoes! I did buy a size 8 and they felt a little too snug but overall they were beautiful. Well made and presented wonderfully.
I ordered my Ruby shoo l am a UK size 37 when they got delivered tried them on unfortunately they were too small. So l ordered a bigger size (38) thinking they'do fit unfortunately they were pe to hear more of L.S.B.V. in the future.
recognised the tune but the way this is produced is great. Emily Harvey has a really unique voice.Like it lots
First heard this on the tv and knew that I had to have it ! I just cant stop playing it. Her voice is a delight and the words of the song very touching.
I am so glad this has been released, I love it. It's a shame it wasn't released as a fund raiser for a deserving charity.
These fit perfectly and are very comfortable indeed. The problem is the grip of the soles when wet and on a smooth surface. I first noticed this when entering Tesco from a wet car park. As soon as I stepped into the store, I slipped badly and just managed to stop myself from sprawling face first in the aisle. Babyliss curl secret as much for a half size larger and still find the second pair a bit short. I think if I went up yet another half size though they would be too wide.
These shoes are brilliant. Very, very comfortable at a good price. Highly recommended.
So, the size of these is a little strange but since I live in Africa and someone brought them over for me I will have to make do. The sole is very good and the fabric is great for trail running as hoped. Just consider downs supra skytop Until the soles dried off, I was walking about so gingerly, I suspect people thought I'd soiled myself. To make matters worse, the wet soles made a very loud squeak with every step. This is a shame as they are well made and great for driving with the sole wrapping up the back of the shoe. So, in summary, great in the dry, extremely hazardous in the wet.
It a good shoes, it is very comfortable. But after few months they are really unsafe. The buttons in the shoe soles seems to break off and they are very slippery on a wet surface, safety is really a issue. the lace provided is too cheap t.
best franchises ghtly larger (size 2 is european 34. this is slightly larger at 35)size equivelant not specified in ad.
These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, they fit perfectly, I am usually a size 2 but these 1.5 fitted perfectly. I had read previous comments on going down a size so opted for the 1.5 over a size 1 and they are perfect. Very light on the feet and so comfy to walk in. I am going to purchase another pair in a different colour!
One shoe is larger than the other. I purchased these as a gift and was embarrassed when I discovered the problem with the shoes. I had already returned one pair because the sizing was incorrect, therefore I could not ask the recipient to return them again. But I must add I have three pairs of Skechers Go Walk Low - top myself and I love them. Hopefully the problem with the smaller sizes I ordered as a gift was a 'one off'.
I love the colour of these shoes. They are soft and comfortable, but I have to say that the canvas material of these shoes is less pliable than the material in the Go Walk 2 version. Whilst they are exactly the same size, the canvas Go Walks feel marginally tighter on the feet. Hopefully tg while, these new tennis shoes didn't disappoint. Lovely and comfortable straight away, and they do half sizes! I'm normally 6 but always order 61/2 always fit nice.
This is the third pair of K Swiss trainers that I have bought and I love them. So comfortable, durable, supportive of the foot, etc. Everything that I need in a pair of trainers, but.... the toe has become sharper or more pointy. I have a rather square foot, so any narrowing at the toe squashes my toes and of course hurts my foot and I end up with blisters. I would love to stay with the brand but if I cannot find a style within the brand that has a squarer toe, I shall have to change my brand. In the post above which asks How does this product fit - I selected moderately small - I was not referring to the size. I bought size 7 and they fit me exactly as they should, it is only the toe fit that I have a problem with. This is my foot problem and not a problem with the shoe.
I am a size 5 but I got the 5.5 as I read they were a small fit, I think I could have been ok with the size 5 though, I don't really mind as I like to wear two pa Hollister outlet ey
I like these trainers but you need to order larger size as they come up small. I prefer to insert my own arch support inner sole for added comfort.
I found these Gabor shoes were excellent for me. Previously I had been purchasing size 9's and using a sock insert, but having bought these in the colour red, I was so pleased, I decided to buy the blue. I have found it so difficult over the years to get good fitting shoes. They are very comfortable and providing they don't become price prohibitive I shall be sticking to the Gabor make.
This the seconed order for the same edition the was perfect fit and this one is little beit small
Returned they were far to small. Very narrow.
Very comfortable value for money
I found t vivienne westwood sale smooth and quick
Heard that it was I hard to cut to the right size so I ignored the shapes drawn on the product and drew round rhe show and cut it a bit smaller like I do when I am lining a cake tin, did the trick. It is a comfy product and my daughter has not complained about it so it must be good!!

The Legacy of Deposit Insurance: The Growth, Spread, and Cost of Insuring Financial Intermediaries
In: The Defining Moment: The Great Depression and the American Economy in the Twentieth Century
Without the Great Depression, the United States would not have adopted deposit insurance. While the New Deal's anti-competitive barriers have largely collapsed become" deeply rooted. This paper examines how market and political competition for deposits raised the level of coverage and spread insurance to all depository institutions. A comparison of the cost of federal insurance with a counterfactual of an insurance-free system shows that federal insurance ultimately imposed a" higher cost but achieved political acceptance because of the distribution of the burden.

I should have tried to download some pay content before reviewing the Sony PRS505 ebook reader. After spending about half an hour trying to buy John C. Wrights "Golden Age" trilogy, I am a lot less happy with the Sony. First of all, the Sony ebook site sells the second and third books in the trilogy, but not the first. I found several sites that sell either the whole trilogy or a collection that contains the whole trilogy, but none of them were in a format that is supported by the Sony PRS-505.
Back when I first talked about ebook readers, I mentioned that the PRS-505 had the most limited selection of formats. I was concerned about that, but lacking any experience in ebooks I was not sure how big a deal it would be. I'm now starting to think that it's a pretty big deal and I'm thinking about returning the Sony.

Gothic Vampire Costume
Few creatures of the night are more suited or more at home during Halloween than the vampire. These blood-sucking creatures of lore have had a deep impact on the psyche of man. This ancient concept still has the ability to frighten us even as we surround ourselves with massive advancements in science and technology. Such is the power of the vampire concept.
While vampires had been a part of folklore all through out Europe, and indeed around the world, for centuries, it was during the 18th and 19th centuries that the vampire rose to fame in literature. Much of what we think of today when we think of vampire is due to the works of writers like John Polidori and Bram Stroker. Originally, Polidori's The Vamprye (1819) is thought to have influenced Stoker's immortal 1897 work, Dracula. While many may not know Polidori's name, they most definitely know his contribution to horror.
Stroker would likely approve of the Gothic Vampire Elite Collection Adult Costume. This costume transcends the simple cape and fangs. Instead, this complex and well-crafted gothic vampire costume is a reflection of the era in which the vampire rose to fame in literature and became a cultural phenomenon. The black satin cape looks marvelous as it is lined with a rich red satin. An impressive burgundy velvet vest with exquisite buttons only further adds to the overall impressiveness of this detailed vampire costume. A white satin shirt and white gloves make this a costume that will unnerve even the strongest of souls.

Americans are choosing to pay their credit card debt before they make their mortgage payments.
A new study says the number of Americans who default on their mortgages, but pay their credit card bills is rising. More than half the people not paying their mortgage are paying off their credit cards.
The report concludes credit cards are essential to meet current needs. Houses have become liabilities. Credit cards also replace savings to make immediate purchases. Home foreclosures take a long time. Credit cards are useful for food and utility bills.
Experts say this is the wrong way to look at the problem. Losing a home can be a financial disaster. It can hurt a family for years. Credit card debt is simply annoying.
In fact, a survey said 91 percent of consumers would pay their mortgage before their credit cards. The situation for subprime homebuyers is different.
Another study said 30.4 percent of subprime households were behind on their mortgage payments but current on their credit card payments. Only 12.3 percent were late on their cards but up to date on their home loans.
Experts are not sure paying credit cards first is a trend or just a response to current economic conditions.
