|5 Months Post Baby Belly
How to do it-
For one minute, alternate kicking while pulling the ABS in tight. Be careful not to lean back, if you find yourself doing this, your core is likely not engaged.
6 Inch Pulse
How to do it-
Lie on your back, place hands at your sides, extend legs six inches off the ground, lift your head and shoulders off the ground. Begin to pulse with your hands. Continue to pulse for sixty seconds.
Suitcase Crunch
How to do it-
This is a traditional move. It's a basic crunch but you pull in with your legs and upper body at the same time. When I do this crunch, my arms stay to my sides, but they can also go behind your head. Complete 25 reps.
Scissor Kicks
How to do it-
While lying on your back, place your hands under your neck or to your sides. Raise legs six inches above the ground and begin to move in a scissor like motion. Kick for one minute.
How to do it-
Hold a straight arm plank position for one minute. After one minute, rest. Then get into the plank position and bring one knee forward as far as you can. Release and do this on the other side. Do 20 reps on each side.
Ab Pulse Ups
How to do it-
Lie on your back with your feet in the air, squeeze your butt and abs and use your hips to push your legs straight upwards. Hold at the top and slowly lower. Complete 20 reps.
So all of these moves are great target workouts, but like any workout a well balanced diet of lean protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats is critical for weight loss or toning. You can do all of these workouts, and see no results if you are not fueling your body with the right foods. When you combine these moves with the right nutrition, you will be bathing suit ready in no time.
Also, be patient. Results definitely don't happen overnight. It takes time to create lifestyle changes. But I can promise it works.
The 21 Day Fix is one such program to help people create long term results by forming healthy habits over a 21 day period.

Okay, so we all know what a bank is. But, what really goes on behind those teller counters and big wooden desks? How much cash is in a bank and who does it belong to? When we deposit money, where does it go? We're going to make the complicated world of banks easy to understand. It's Lily here, your Financial Go-To Girl reporting for duty on another Financial Literacy Lesson (FLL)!
Okay, girls, let's start with the basics. The reason why you put your money in the bank in the first place is because most likely, it's much safer in a regulated facility than somewhere like your house, where it can be stolen. There are two types of accounts, which are a savings account and a checking account. The savings account is sued for exactly that-savings! You put your money in the bank to save it for a later time. That account actually has something called interest. Interest is a percentage of the total amount you put in the bank that adds on every cycle, which is usually a year. Wait, that was a lot of words. Let's break it down. Say I put $100 in my savings account with 2% interest from the bank. 2% of $100 is $2, so my new total after the interest is added is simply $102! That was easy, right?
A Checking account is what you use on a daily basis. You can deposit money and take money out on a regular basis, and you can even sue this account with a debit card, which automatically deducts that amount you spend somewhere when you use it.
So, that's why WE use banks. But, how do banks make profit? And, how do we know our money is safe? Well, banks make a profit because of the whole idea of loans. When you put your money in the bank, thr bank uses the money it then has to give out a loan of money to someone else. Just like the bank pays you interest, the bank CHARGEs interest to person it is loaning the money to, but at a higher rate. They keep the difference, and "voila!" they have a profit! Before the Great Depression, there was no security. People lost all of their money when the banks collapsed, and their lives were ruined. Now, we have the FDIC, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Company to help solve that problem. They protect your money, but only to a certain amount. The company will only protect $100,000 in one bank, so if you have more, you have to split up between banks. Okay, so I think that was the basic stuff about banks, but I found out so much more! Check back to talk more about banks with me, Lily!

Tag: cowl
Thank you Angelia Robinson
by connie on Apr.20, 2016, under Blog
for putting out a request for test knitters and for taking me on board to do just that.
It has been many months since I picked up my knitting needles and there are reasons for not doing so. So many that I thought a wee list could be useful to me to remind me to get my hat on and get knitting.
and as I said it has been summer.
The Kloss Cowl test knit was a nice easy piece to knit and the pattern has an easy rhythm to it so once the first 12 rows after the rib were completed it flowed on easily with the marker being a reminder for colour changes.
Here is the link to the Kloss Cowl pattern by Angelia Robinson in her Ravelry store. It is a perfect pattern to be very creative with stash yarns, and it is an easy fun knit.
This cowl below is my test knit. I haven't blocked it as I do like the texture and motion of it unblocked. But that is just my taste.
I have not used slip stitches in my own colour work knitting at all so I was just a bit curious about how it would work and I do like it. So just maybe I will incorporate slip stitches in my own work. You will just have to wait and see.
some knit weeks are great
by connie on Sep.23, 2015, under Blog
Knitted a black all over cabled cowl and then the same cable stitch separated by the k3 p3 rib.
Black Cabled Cowl knitted in double knit or 8 ply yarn
Anny Blatt Fine Kid yarn shorter version of the Cabled Cowl with cables separated by knit 3 purl 3 ribs.
Longer Cowl doubled over to make a delicious soft warm cowl.
Longer Cowl (19.5 inches) as hood and cowl
There will be a beret or slouchy and fingerless gloves to go with this pattern – eventually.
Tomorrow I will be at the Onehunga Art & Crafts Market
by connie on Jun.26, 2015, under Blog
So will this Ocean Waves shawlette.
Garter stitch and feather and fan created with Regia Lace yarn from Germany.
Sand Dunes Connie Cowl
Stoney Rivers scarf / cowl / hood
and my Forest scarf/shawlette
Yarn is Anny Blatt Fine kid made in France, the colour is Foret – which means forest in French, but you knew that already I am sure.
Estonian Slanted Rib or False Entrelac Capelet or wee Poncho
by connie on May.26, 2015, under Blog
I have created another wee capelet or small poncho using this stitch knitted in the round of course. It is so easy – a pattern over 6 stitches k2, YON, k2, K2tog. Perfect.
I decided to see what would happen if I knitted the stitch on 2 needles flat instead of "in the round" and the result is quite pleasing. I knitted my sample over 28 stitches, with a 2 stitch selvedge.
Slip 1 k1 "k2, YON, k2, k2tog" repeat to last 2 stitches k2
Slip 1 p1 "p2tog, p2, YON, p2" repeat to last 2 stitches p1, k1.
It has a gracious curve to the right and the selvedges don't curl – would be great for a scarf or shawl.
I like that a scarf or shawl knitted in Estonian Slanted Rib will be reversible as the wrong side looks very different but doesn't look wrong – it is an interesting ribbed ridge for want of a better term.
You can see here the right and so called wrong side of Estonian slanted rib. Either would be right depending on personal style.
A timely reminder – pattern to come
by connie on Nov.17, 2014, under Blog
I have been prodded a little but quite gently by Kristin. She asked about a Cowl/poncho/wimple or oversized cowl that can be worn over the shoulders like a poncho pattern that I was working on. Yes I did create the cowl pattern but didn't extend it to the poncho. Cowl – pattern to come
I did explore the wimple and the cowl and the neck warmers and all the other names for it that I could come up with but didn't create the pattern and that was in 2010.
Thank you for asking Kristin. Life has been so hectic these past 4 years so that keeping track of my pattern promises has not been very good. Hectic as we moved countries and hemispheres, we have retired to a steep windy property and are developing an orchard and vege garden of a reasonable size. We have 2 grandchildren living next door as well. So life is hectic and it is sweet. I am knitting all the time – well all the spare time, but haven't been working hard on the patterns.
I am going to say that I am on to it – and I am I really am. Thank you Kristin.

King Corn is one of those documentaries that I've been hearing about for years. I remember people raving about it when I was in nutrition school, saying it was one of those "must-see" films about the food industry, but I never got around to actually watching it until now. When I saw that it was offered on GaiamTV, I figured it was about time I check it out.
The documentary (which came out in 2006) follows 2 college friends, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, as they embark on a mission to learn the truth about the food industry. Hearing news that for the first time in American history, our generation was at risk of having a shorter lifespan than our parents, and that it was because of what we eat, their curiosity led them to do some research of their own.
When they did their initial investigating, they found that "we're basically made out of corn" due to the high amount of corn in every virtually all processed foods in America. We're talking about corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn startch, corn solids, hydrolyzed corn protein and more. Corn is a part of our lives every day, and most people don't even realize it.
Wanting to understand exactly how this crop has taken over the American food system, Ian and Curt decided to move to Iowa, grow an acre of corn and learn along the way. Here's what they found:
The majority of corn grown in America is genetically modified to resist herbicide, contains extremely high levels of starch, is sprayed with ammonia fertilizer, and is government subsidized. So the more corn you grow, the more money you get from the government. "There is one goal in mind: yield," according to Michael Pollan, who contributed to the documentary."The corn isn't actually edible. It's a raw material used to make processed food. Everything on your plate is corn. Our government subsidy system rewards the overproduction of cheap corn."
Most of the corn will be fed to animals as feed or converted into high fructose corn syrup — and both of these processes lead to the deterioration of our health.
You've likely heard that it's better to eat grass-fed beef than corn-fed beef. Why? Well, the cattle aren't meant to be on a corn-based diet. They get ulcers and they get sick. They are confined and fed continuously until they are large enough to be slaughtered. Antibiotics are added to the corn so the livestock can survive the conditions of confinement. The corn feed itself would kill the animals eventually, but they are slaughtered before that can happen. So you end up with meat that's pumped full of antibiotics and is the product of obese, extremely sick cows.
Feeding corn to cattle also produces a much higher level of saturated fat in the meat. "A corn-fed steak may have as much as 9g of saturated fat, where a grass-fed steak would have 1.3 grams. This is the meat we eat in America. Hamburger meat is fat disguised as meat," said Loren Cordain from the University of Colorado.
The other factor the documentary focused on as it relates to our health, aside from corn-fed animals, is the mass production of high fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup is in nearly every fast food and processed food in America, and leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and has adverse metabolic effects. Soda is basically liquid corn syrup. "We've degraded our food supply," said Walter Willett from Harvard University.
It's all based on profit and efficiency, to produce the highest amount of corn possible. Even the farmers understand that they aren't growing real food. They don't eat the corn they grow.
One farmer said, "We're not growing quality. We're growing crap. The poorest quality crap the world's ever seen. I don't grow my corn for food. I don't care what's done with it. I'm selling it."
At the end of the documentary, one thing was abundantly clear. Industrialized agriculture equals cheap, low-quality food that weakens our health.
Food for thought, right?

Great panoramic shots of the island of Madeira - sea, villages, banana trees. Men are seen harvesting bananas - cutting and carrying large, heavy bunches. Cut to tourist attractions of Madeira's capital Funchal. Tourists are transported in a vehicle similar to rickshaw. Several shots of Funchal. Funny vehicles - bullock carts are seen on streets.
Various shots of tourists enjoying their holidays, Girls are carried in swings, people are seen swimming and sunbathing in and around hotel pool - lucky people.
Scenic shot of Madeira's great vineyards. Madeira is famous for its wine - voiceover says. Succession of shots of wine making: harvesting, pressing, distilling, making barrels, bottling, packing, tasting and consuming wine at folk dancing fiesta - nice mixture of ancient and modern. Succession of shots of people in traditional dress dancing while tourists sip great Madeira wine while watching them.
What I like the most about this travelogue is beautiful folk music - particularly the song accompanying wine making.

My go-to eyeshadow for several reasons:
- It flatters my skintone
- It has a slight shimmer
Beautiful bronzed color that looks super natural. Originally in the Naked palette. Long lasting and pigmented. One of my favorite shades that I keep going back to.

Go ahead and swear—it might make you feel better…
– Jeffrey Hill, The English Blog
Words amaze me.
They always have.
Every once in a while, one of my students will ask me if I always knew I wanted to be an English teacher.
In my youngest years, I wanted to be an artist or a stand-up comedian.
In eighth grade, I picked a profession that gave me the better parts of both of those options.
I've been teaching for 8 years.
And, for as much as I am able to master and throw around words, one set has always given me trouble.
I can't curse.
I blame my upbringing.
Every once in a while, my mom would let loose with a "You little shit," but even then it was full of incredulity of me beating her at a game of Scrabble.
That's a lie.
I never beat my mom at Scrabble.
When I got to college, I decided that part of the requisite re-inventing of myself would be taking ownership of the lexicon that had eluded me for so long.
Every once in a while, I'd throw out an f-bomb or some derivative thereof.
Usually, this was surrounding the playing of Mario Kart on the Gamecube.
After about a month, through a friendervention, I was asked to stop.
"You just can't pull it off," they told me.
"You're too nice."
It would have been the perfect moment to prove them wrong, but I couldn't.
Just before winter break, one of my classes was studying Steven Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
I was reading it aloud.
At the top of one class, a student approached me, "Please don't read the cuss words, Mr. Chase."
Worried I'd offended him, I asked why not, if everything was ok.
"Oh, yeah. I love the book. I just don't like to think of you saying those words."
I'd been found out.
I've tried a few experiments in the intervening weeks.
On the phone with a friend, I'll drop in a curse word in place of the adjective I'd actually been thinking.
The conversation has proceeded normally. Then, I collect data.
"Hey, do you remember when I cursed?"
"A few minutes ago, I cursed. Do you remember that?"
"Oh. Sure. Yeah."
"Good. Did it sound authentic?"
"When I cursed, did it sound like someone who knows how to curse?"
"Um, I guess so."
I'm getting better.
Still, I've had to come to the conclusion that, like French, this is a language I'll likely never master.
I listen to the lady a few doors down yelling at our neighbors on the weekends and wonder at the brush with which she draws from her diverse pallet of expletives.
She is a foul-mouthed Jedi, and I envy her.
She's Lenny Bruce, Sandra Bernhard and every episode of The Wire rolled into one.
Faced with unsatisfactory answers in conversation, she constructs linguistic cannons from her canon of vulgarity.
I'd be reduced to reason and likely get nowhere.
Still, I'm working on it – working damned hard.
…I've a long way to go.

SACRAMENTO, CA – June 15, 2012 – HealthLinkNow Inc, announces its successful bid to provide an innovative "Patient Centered Medical Home Program for mental health services in Wyoming and Montana." The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Awards, a federal program seeking to fund promising new models of healthcare delivery, has awarded $7.7 million to HealthLinkNow over the next three years to provide online mental health services in Montana and Wyoming where there is a severe shortage of psychiatrists and other mental health providers.
The company will partner with a number of local provider groups and health networks to provide mental health and substance abuse services where geography and lack of psychiatrists and psychologists complicate access. The HealthLinkNow Patient Centered Medical Home Program will offer secure videoconferencing linking patients and HealthLinkNow psychiatrists/therapists; instant messaging, email, telephone calls and health education. The fully-integrated HealthLinkNow Telemedicine and IT platform also allows billing, ePrescribing, and practice management.
First and foremost we are about connecting people to the right care, when and where they need it.
Lower costs through reduced hospital admissions and emergency room visits are anticipated, resulting from improved access to psychiatric consultations, therapy, and long-term mental health case management. Over the three year period of the grant, HealthLinkNow will hire 24 health care providers, including both psychiatrists and therapists, with estimated savings of $8.1m to CMS through the use of this highly innovative approach to mental health care.
The CMS Innovation Center announced the second batch of preliminary awardees for the Health Care Innovation Awards on June 15, 2012. HealthLinkNow is among several organizations tabbed to implement projects in communities across the nation. The aim is to deliver better health, improved care and lower costs to people enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, particularly those with the highest health care needs.
Barb Johnston, HealthLinkNow CEO and co-founder is delighted that the company has received this award. "We are honored to have won this award and to be able to provide much needed mental health services to patients in Montana and Wyoming who would otherwise not have access to such care", shared Johnston. "First and foremost we are about connecting people to the right care, when and where they need it. The HealthLinkNow online clinic and the care we bring through telemedicine to hospitals, health systems and organizations, as well as to people in their homes, are ideally suited for patients like these who live in geographically inaccessible areas."
"The project described was supported by Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1C1-12-0001 from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation."
"This press release is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of HHS or any of its agencies."

Instead of working in the greenhouse yesterday I spent the day up to my elbows in baby goats. Angel had her babies yesterday about 11. The first one got stuck with it's feet back and it's head part way out. I had to push her back in, hook the front feet and then pull her. Long painful process. She lived through it but couldn't stand. The second baby was breech with her butt coming first. Same process rearranging her. By the time we got the second one out Angel was exhausted. She couldn't stand, and her milk wasn't coming. I got her settled and we started on the kids. We have some powdered colostrum on hand for emergencies. We got some in them, got them dry and warm (it was 36 degrees and 98% humidity out yesterday. Cold for a new born.)
Both babies made it through the night, and the second one is up and doing fine. Angel is up and seems fine too. Her milk is starting to come, and baby #2 is nursing. Baby #1 still can't stand, but she is much stronger.

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.
Hi guys, I'm back again with another guide, this time for Vi. I've mained Vi this season with great success. I started playing her last season back when she was not one of the top tier junglers and really liked her, and nowadays I love her even more. Her ability to disrupt the enemy squishy's and peel for her own team when needed is insane. She's also incredibly strong in early fights and ganks, and carries hard when ahead. So lets learn all about her!
Pros / Cons
Vi's strengths and weaknesses
|+ Excellent ganks
+ Great jungle clear
+ Amazing CC in team fights
+ Naturally tanky
+ Naturally high damage
+ Good counter jungler/duelist
+ Can lock down enemy ADC/mid in team fights
+ Can peel really well in team fights
+ Great initiate
+ Can carry a bad team
+ Very Mobile
|+ No global pressure (isn't pantheon)
+ Q sometimes hard to hit, can be interrupted
+ Your own ult can get you killed if they're smart
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Summoner Spells
Summoner Spells
I would always take this spell on Vi. Flash Qs are DEVESTATING. A flash Q can very easily get first blood and are one of Vi's most important mechanics. It's also great for objective steals, escapes, etc.
These are the only two spells I ever take on Vi.
Ability explanation
- Blast Shield (Passive): This passive gives Vi a shield based on her max health each time she hits an enemy with an active ability. This shield is great for early ganks, skirmishes, jungle sustain, and late game team fights. All around an excellent passive that rewards you defensively for playing offensively. If you are very low and ignited or something, try to E or Q a minion if you have the shield available and you'll get a shield that might just save your life.
- Vault Breaker (Q): This is Vi's signature move. This ability sends you rushing forward a variable distance and doing damage both based on how long you charged it. However, when charging, you are slowed and can be CCd out of charging. It deals crazy damage throughout every stage of the game and cc's the enemy for a short time. If you land one of these on the enemy it will very often lead to a kill. However, it can also be used very well as an escape. This ability goes through almost every wall if fully charged. It's also great for dodging abilities like Nidalee's Javelin Toss by just tapping the q button in a different direction. It also applies both Denting Blows to the enemy and Blast Shield to yourself. Max this ability first for decreased CD and increased damage. At max rank the CD is very short, but early on it's nearly 20 seconds so make sure you use it correctly or you won't have it again for a while.
- Denting Blows (W): This spell makes Vi's third auto attack or spell deal a % of her targets maximum health as bonus damage, reduces their armor by 20%, and increases her attack speed. This spell is very powerful for taking out those big tanks, increases clear speed, and really helps take out dragon/baron quickly. I max it last, because the %health is especially good late game. Keep in mind that this does not apply your passive.
- Excessive Force (E): This spell makes Vi's next auto attack to hit targets behind it and do additional damage. It also acts as an auto attack reset, so its best to use this immediately after having auto attacked, and you will auto attack again quickly after. If someone flashes away with very little health, with some fancy aiming you can hit them with this spell if you hit one of their minions. It also applies your passive. I max it second for the decreased CD on your charges.
- Assault and Battery (R): Vi's ultimate ability is one of the best in the game. It pulls her to her target and knocks them up and knocks back any enemies she hits on the way. It deals a lot of damage to enemies and her target. This spell is great for initiation, picking, peeling, and gap closing. Be careful though, if someone flashes/dashes when you ult, you will follow them to wherever they end up, and that could be under their turret. Also be careful of Zhonya's, it breaks the tether of your ult and puts it on CD, so you basically ulted for nothing unless it was worth it to get rid of their Zhonya's. Put points into this ability whenever you can to decrease CD and increase damage.
Ability Sequence
|Obviously, max your ult first for more damage and better cooldown. Next max Q for extra damage and less cd. Max E next for quick CD on charges. Max w last for late game %damage.
Item Explanation
|Merc's are usually your best bet nowadays. Most teams have enough CC to warrant tenacity as an excellent option, and the magic resist is nice against those pesky mid laners. If they dont have a lot of reducable CC then get Ninja Tabi instead.
|This item is best for ganks in 2v1 situations, with the slow+movement speed buff.
|This item is best for 2v2 countergank situations, with the mini exhaust. It also gives a ton of true damage for all 1v1s.
|This item gives a lot of sustain in the jungle, faster clear time too, though Vi has exceptional clears already. Use if you're behind or want to farm straight to 6 before ganking.
|Loads of damage from armor shred and AD, plus synergizes with your W to remove like all of your enemies armor and the armor pen is really good for your %health damage. Great item if you're ahead. Helps both your team and you. Get a Phage early if you're snowballing. You'll be able to kill most people on their team very fast with this build and you'll hit like a truck with your Vault Breaker. The 20% CDR is super nice for extra ultis too.
|This is another "help the whole team" item. Reduces enemy attack speed, so it's great against fed ADC's. The chunk of mana is nice too and 20% CDR and 100 armor is nothing to laugh at.
|Yeah, pretty much get this if they are really bursty or you need to stop a really important ability Nidalee spear, Veigar stun etc.
|This item can be really good, especially against 4 AD teams. Against super high AD, two armor items and Ninja Tabi will be enough to be reallly tanky, so you can get a third damage item rather than just the standard Warrior/Black Cleaver. It's also good if you're far ahead and want to destroy people, it gives crazy damage.
|If you need to carry your team really hard, and the enemy is just STACKING armor, I'd grab this with The Black Cleaver + Stalker's Blade-Warrior, as my three offensive items and the rest tank. If they don't have that much armor I'd just take Trinity Force instead.
When/Where to ward
Blue: For protection depending on which lane you're on
Red: To guard Dragon and Baron
Orange: In order to Counter-Jungle
(this map was taken from Jhoijhoi's great guide making guide)
A good place for pink wards is shown here:
Jungle Route
I remember first starting playing LoL and I had no idea where to go when jungling. So here's the most common/easy jungling path that I usually do, shown for each side.
Ganking Lanes
Where and how to gank
LG=Lane Gank
RG=River Gank
TG= Tri Gank
River ganks are pretty self explanatory: walk in through the river and start attacking the enemy if they're pushed up. However, often the river is warded or the enemy is not pushed up. In this case, you may want to perform a lane gank. A lane gank is when your laner pushes up so the enemy doesn't have vision of the brush closest to your turret. The jungler then comes into that bush, waits till the enemies push too far or are in a bad spot (particularly helped out by a bait from the laners), and jumps out. Follow the arrows, but make sure the laners are pushed far enough up so there's no vision of you when you move between bushes. Communicate with your laners before you attempt this, because sometimes these bushes are warded. Another way to gank without being detected is coming through the tri bush. In bot on blue side and top on purple side ganking from their tri bush (TG(b)) will involve turret diving. Have your laners push the minions to the turrets so they will tank the turret while you get into position. However, as soon as you attack the enemies, the turret will turn on you, so be careful. You usually only want to dive if the enemy is already somewhat low. You cannot be low leveled for these types of gank or you will most likely die without superb mechanics. You can also gank from your tri bush (TG(a)) if the enemy is pushed up too far. You can often get behind the enemies more quickly than they can run to their turret. Mid ganks are pretty self explanatory from the arrows. Usually when ganking as vi, you want to initiate with your q and make sure it hits. If they flash away and you're 6, you can usually ult them to clean up. Don't ult them before they flash unless it's definitely enough damage to kill them or they might just escape with [flash] after you've burned all your gapclosers. Also try not to waste q just to get closer to them, because it's your biggest damage other than your ult. The combo for vi gank is Q>AA>E>AA>E then R if need be. After you have your [sunfire cape] it's not too hard to turret dive people unless they have a lot of CC. Try to only dive if you can account for everyone on their team and you know the person you're diving can't CC you under the turret.
Team fights
What to do in team fights
What you do in team fights depends on who's fed on your team and who's fed on their team. If you're doing decent but someone on your team is doing better, you usually want to sit back and peel for whoever is doing the most damage. If someone jumps on them, try to Q them off, and if more people come or that didn't work, use your ult on whoever is most threatening to the highest damage player on your team. However, often if you have a support on your team who can peel very well or if they have one very fed person on their team and all your team is doing about the same, you can go offensive. Usually you just want to wait till you get an opportunity to ult them without dying. As soon as you get over to them, pop the [Randuin's Omen] active and charge your Q a bit then hit them with it. Though it won't be as much damage as a full charged Q, the length of CC from ulting them then getting off a Q is huge. By that point, their whole team is probably dealing a ton of damage to you, so you usually want to run away. They will often waste a lot on you to try to kill you. This is one of the main things that seperates a good Vi player from a bad vi player: knowing when to just leave a fight. So you ult and Q their main damage, then just try to walk away if you're getting a ton of damage. Then you want to wait till your Q is back up and go in again. You can very easily draw a lot of aggro from the enemies when they should be focusing other people on your team by doing this. Just use your Q, walk away. You get in a lot of damage and CC and draw their damage and CC so your team can win the fight.
Vi is an amazing jungler who has a ton of damage, mobility, tank, and CC in her kit. In the right hands, she can carry a team to victory very easily. Thanks for reading, and please leave a thumbs up if it helped you out. Thanks to JhoiJhoi for her guide making guide, which helped me yet again. You can find it right here.

Puppy Crate Training -- Fast Track to a Contented Dog
Puppy crate training is one of the most effective ways to housebreak your new puppy.
Puppy crate training takes a little patience, but it's a good way to set your puppy on the right path. This method has an impressive track record.
Be sure to prepare everything ahead of time. Even before you bring your new puppy home, have the puppy crate ready and waiting.
The size of the crate is important. For proper puppy crate training, you should have plenty of room in the crate for the puppy to turn around, stand and lie down, but don't get one that's too big. Puppies feel uncomfortable in a crate that's so big they rattle around in it.
If your puppy is a breed that will grow large, it's okay to buy a bigger crate for him to grow into, but make sure it has an adjustable partition in the back. This lets you keep his living space comfortable and cozy, but you can still expand it by moving the partition back as your puppy grows to full size.
When you are ready to begin puppy crate training, place your new puppy gently in his crate. Make sure you've also put a towel or small blanket and a treat or toy in the crate. If you're using a wire crate for puppy crate training, always remove the puppy�s collar first so it won�t get snagged on the wire.
You may hear some whining or even crying at this point. You need to ignore it. Sometimes it helps to cover the crate with a blanket so his home feels a little cozier. Remember, dogs are not claustrophobic. They like an enclosed space. It's their den.
After your puppy has remained in the crate for about twenty minutes, remove him from the crate and take him outside. As soon as he goes potty, praise him, pet him and make him feel loved and close.
The next step in the puppy crate training process is to bring your puppy back inside and play together for twenty to thirty minutes. Then it's time to put your puppy back in the crate. You'll be able to gradually increase the crate time to two hours.
Puppies will not usually go potty in their crates. If your puppy has an accident, never scold. They really don't understand the idea that going potty is bad, so scolding doesn�t help. It only confuses them.
For best results with puppy crate training, you'll need to have a schedule. And when you take your puppy outside, always make sure you take him to the same spot each time. Especially at first, every time you remove him from his crate, you'll want to take him outside. This builds a clear association in his mind.
As your puppy begins to get the hang of puppy crate training you'll be able to leave him in the crate for longer periods. Eventually he'll feel so at home in the crate that you'll be able to leave the crate door open overnight and for short periods during the day.
Successful puppy crate training has two simple requirements: patience and a regular schedule. With those two things, your new puppy will soon be a happy, well-adjusted member of the family.

The bank should keep in mind the following points while advancing money on the security of goods.
Selection of the borrower
The banker should satisfy himself regarding the character, capacity, and capital of the borrower. Since in ease of goods, chances of fraud are more, this is all the more important.
Selection of the commodities
Commodities should be such which have fairly stable prices. The head office should prepare a list of such commodities and in case a branch wants to lend money on the security of a commodity which is outside this list, the branch should take permission of the head office.
In case of lending some principles should be followed by banker against goods. Some advisability of Sending by a banker against goods is stated below:
- Quality of goods: Generally, bank should accept goods which could be marketed easily, quickly and standard quality in nature. Because there exists a greater risk, if the goods are not good quality which are taken as security.
- Marketability: Goods are tangible securities and are better than guarantee and bill of exchange. If a borrower makes a default, the banker can realize his duties by disposing of the goods in the market.
- Price: Banker should take those goods which have ready market. They can be sold of easily than other kind of securities. The existence of ready market makes the goods reliable and safe security.
- Short period: Normally, advances against goods are for short periods because of seasonal character. Therefore, there is no necessity' to lock up funds for long period.
- Stability: Generally, banks accept goods which are necessaries of life such as rice, Wheat, sugar, cotton etc. The price of such goods does not fluctuate widely.
- Evaluate: It is easy to evaluate the prices of goods such as wheat, rice, gains, pulses etc. Market trends and reports are available in respect of almost all commodities in newspapers. So banker should take these types of goods as security.
- Margin: In case of goods, demand and nature determine the margin. Depending upon the quality and risk the margin is prescribed.
Charging the security
Goods can be deposited by way of security either in the form of a pledge or hypothecation. In case of hypothecation the borrower must be dependable since the banker has little control over the movement of goods.
The banker must also obtain a declaration from the borrower stating that (i) the borrower is the owner of the goods hypothecated, and (ii) he shall not charge the same goods to any other person without the prior consent of the bank.
Legal requirements
Under its selective credit control scheme, the central bank issues from time to time directives regarding granting of loans against selective commodities. The banker should abide by these directives.
Storage of goods
The following points should be taken into account while storing the goods offered by way of security:
- The godown must be safe from water, fire, etc. and situated in a good locality.
- In case of hypothecation of goods the borrower should give an undertaking that he will allow inspection of godown and stock books as and when desired by the bank's officials.
- In case of pledge the godown should have a bank lock with the bank's name engraved on it. Some name plates declaring that the goods are pledged should be prominently displayed in the godown.
- In case of payment of loan in installments it should be seen that the goods released are in proportion to the amount paid by the borrower.
- The goods should be insured for full value so that the bank may not have to suffer on account of 'average clause' in case of under insurance.
Conduct of the account
- No loan should be granted before the bank obtains either actual or constructive delivery of goods. In case the bank permits the borrower to process the raw materials hypothecated into a finished product, an appropriate name plate that the goods are hypothecated with the bank should be prominently displayed.
- The balance in the borrower's account should not be allowed to exceed the drawing limit.
- The drawing limit should be fixed by taking into account the value of the goods (calculated on the basis of market price or cost whichever is lower) and appropriate margin in respect of those goods. While valuing the goods both quantity and quality of goods should be considered.
- The borrower should clear the old debt before the commencement of the next season. In case he has not done so, necessary explanation should be called for.
- The advances should be made for genuine trade needs and not for speculative activities.
Advantages of Advances against Goods over Other Forms of Securities
- They are easily marketable due to having a ready market.
- Their value can be easily ascertained from the market.
- They are tangible assets and, therefore, can be realized in case the necessity arises.
- Loans against commodities are seasonal in nature. They are repaid before the commencement of the next season. Therefore, there is no unnecessary locking up of funds.
- In case of commodities which are used as necessaries of life, there is not much of price fluctuations.
Limitations of Advances against Goods
- Effective supervision over goods may not be possible particularly when they are hypothesized. Dishonest persons may cheat the banks.
- Qualify of goods is difficult to verify. The goods actually pledged may be quite different than those which were promised to be pledged.
- Goods deteriorate in quality with the passage of time. 'This results in erosion in hank's security.
- Heavy transportation costs may have to be incurred for realizing the best possible price for the goods.
Finally, we can say that these above points are considered as the principles of lending by a banker against goods.

Key Characteristics
Sebright's wonderful gold or silver laced markings make the breed a popular ornamental show bantam. They are happy inquisitive birds and they do well in mixed flocks. They like to forage but will also tolerate confinement. The bird can fly so they need to be contained.
It is difficult to breed; 200 years of inbreeding from a very limited gene pool means fertility is not good, chicks are delicate for the first few weeks and mortality rates can be high. Producing to the exact standard is difficult as the birds bred with the best lacing may not be the ones which are best for small size, strutting style, correct comb formation, or other aspects.
- Sir John Sebright wanted to develop a laced bantam and succeeded over 200 years ago.
- It is recorded that he made Golds first, starting with a Nankin, a small henny feathered pit game cock, and a small hen resembling a gold spangled Hamburgh, which 200 years ago usually had half- moon spangles rather the round spangles of today.
- He made Silvers later, initially by crossing prototype Golds with a White Rosecomb bantam cock he bought from London Zoo.
- It is thought that some early Sebright breeders (after Sir John had dispersed some of them) added laced Polands to the mix, but Sir John was said never to have used this breed.
- From about 1812, Sir John and his friends held private Sebright shows at Grey's Inn Coffee House, Holborn, London.
- It is not known whether there was a direct link between Sir John's Sebright Club, which was active long before conventional poultry shows, and the present Sebright Club, for which the RBST has only found records back to 1909.
- The breed is a true bantam, there is no counterpart in large breeds.
- The breed has an upright and alert carriage with rounded breast carried forward and downward- pointing wings.
- Sebrights have a rose comb and the legs are blue.
- The UK Sebright Club only recognises the Gold and Silver varieties, but other combinations of lacing are allowed in some European countries.
Did you know?
Sebrights males are 'hen feathered'. This means that unlike in most breeds, males shouldn't have a curved or sickle tail but should have the same feathering as hens.

Mara Simpson is one of the most important people in my life and one of the most beautiful, truthful voices I know. This skype interview took so long to put up because we were yarning nonsensically and a lot of it was muffled as we honked with laughter or ran off to make tea far away while still talking to our computers. Mara is currently living in Berlin and touring solo and with her band. Here we chat about how it began, the shapes and colours of music and the kindness of strangers.
How did it all start, Mara? How did you find your voice?
I grew up surrounded by music, piano, guitars and Dire Straits on the hi-fi at all times. I was really lucky because I was encouraged to take piano and guitar lessons from an early age. And I sang in choirs – I think I was always singing and faffing around – but I didn't sing properly until I was about 16 or 17.
My first experience of real singing was with my Dad's band, which was called Hooligan Soup at the time…We played in the Anglers Retreat pub and Dad was like, you can't sing like a little girl, you've got to… (Mara makes loud guttural noise)
What was the song?
I actually think the song was Natural Born Woman, which wasn't suitable for the all male line up of Hooligan Soup to sing! I always think that if you can sing and dance every day it's very very good for you.
Yes, it's good for the soul! Do you find that for you there's a need to perform it? Do you think you'd be completely happy if you were singing and dancing every day but no one was watching you or sharing in it?
No, it absolutely needs performance because it's a communication and one of the most magical otherworldly things about music is there's this connection between the performer and the audience. I can't really explain what it is but it's the same with any performance. If I do a show and someone comes up to me at the end and has been really touched by the gig and has just got it, it means everything. Then it feels like what I was meant to do I've done. Like when I go to shows and I'm in the audience and I feel like I've got it.
Have you had any experiences like that on this recent tour?
Yes! We were booked in for a gig on 13th June at Sankt Peter-Ording and we arrived in a hospital car park. I hadn't actually checked where it was we were supposed to be playing so I called and said I think we might be in the wrong place. But they said, no, no, this is where you're meant to be.
We went in and played on stage at the hospital's cancer rehabilitation. There were about 70 people there and it was one of the best shows I've played in Germany. The audience were magic – so receptive and talking with me between songs. And it was so wonderful to meet people after the show and hear their stories. I've never had so many emails in the days following a gig as that one. It was incredible.
That's wonderful, Mara! What a gift for you as well. The two way experience of performing and sharing your voice. There was another similar experience lately wasn't there?
Yes, I heard recently that a couple who I knew briefly in Wellington through another friend, had one of my songs as their first dance at their wedding. That was 'Little Bird.' Both events made me feel humbled beyond words.

Do you need stillness to write songs or do you tend to do it while on tour, when you are within the experience?
I write quite a lot but I'm not writing songs at all. I'm documenting or writing big streams of observations. In Bamburg, everybody was in a coffee shop, we were meeting friends of friends and I realized I just needed to be on my own. Also it was 6pm so I don't know why they were drinking coffee! So I just took myself off and found an old man pub, and I got myself a dark beer and I just sat and wrote and wrote and wrote. There are no rules but what I've noticed about my song writing is I do this kind of stream of consciousness and take quite a long time to consciously digest and realize those idea and responses and then a song comes.
So do the words come for you before the music?
No, I usually have a central idea or a feeling and then the music comes first. But then very quickly it'll just happen in unison. It will normally start that I'll find something on the guitar that I really love, a chord progression or a little riff or any kind of idea and I'll naturally start singing the melody over that which will generally be in gobbledegook. Because it's just a shape so I'm kind of looking at it in shapes and colours. And then that shape will naturally lend itself to certain words that will suggest themselves. Generally I find it very hard to sit down and write lyrics unless I'm putting them to music. Like when I tried to do that to your poetry, I found it so difficult. I think it's really good to do both, but when they separate it's difficult for me.
And when you're touring, what helps you meet a new place?
Walking is a big thing for me, after travelling. It's so obvious but when I arrive somewhere, I really need to walk to literally ground myself in a new place and get everything flowing again. So I'll arrive and say, 'Right, who wants to go for a walk?' and I'll be really pleased when no one wants to because I'll actually want to be on my own!
The best thing is to be open, though. Music has truly been a key to the kindness of strangers. We've been welcomed into people's homes, families and lives and the only reason is because we're going to be playing an hour of music. It's an amazing thing. I'm blown away by how awesome people are.
Mara is currently running an Indigogo campaign to support the release of her first full studio album. It's not so much a donation, but a pre-buy of the album, so go watch her video and be part of this beautiful music flying out into the world (and, if you're super generous, you get some ridiculously awesome presents).
Follow Mara as she roams.

"I tasted five East End sauvignons last week. The almost plush sauvignon from Macari Vineyards in Mattituck, a personal favorite for many vintages, had a rewardingly rich fruit-salad flavor redolent of Granny Smith apples, with hints of lime."NEW YORK TIMES
"The sweet fruit and oak mingle and it seems quite sexy in flavor. Yet, there is always that understatement and elegance. The longer this was open, the nicer it was. It kept growing on me. This gradually became one of my favorite NY reds in this report."Mark Squires, The Wine Advocate, 93 points

Wine Review Online
The New Wines of New York State by Ed McCarthy Macari is one of the stars of Long Island wineries. I first noticed Macari a few years ago when I tasted its excellent sparkling wine. Two Macari wines stood out at the NY tasting, a white and a red. Its 2012 "Katherine's Field" Sauvignon Blanc, $23, is a lovely example of this variety: floral, crisp, and clean. Macari's 2007 Merlot Reserve, $35, was clearly the best Merlot wine in the tasting; it is fresh and lively, with lots of depth. It actually needs two or three years to fully mature. The wine is an example of how good Long Island Merlot can be.

This wine, Macari Vineyards 2012 "No. 1″ Sauvignon Blanc ($27) is a completely different animal, however.

7 Wines That Went From Trendy To Taboo—And Are Back In Style Again
Not All Wines Age Well. Thankfully, These Once-Outcast Wines Are Back On The Menu.
By Roger Morris
5. Merlot gets its groove back
Back Story: Merlot started life in California with a clean slate. In the 1970s, Napa Valley was crazed with making 100 percent pure-breed (varietal) wines instead of blends, and it was even more obsessed with making wines better than the French. Cabernet Sauvignon took on Bordeaux, and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir competed with Burgundy. But Merlot? No expectations. By the 1990s, it was so popular that it was flying high above all critical radar. Then the 2004 movie Sideways shot it down, as the flawed hero Miles raved about the nobility of Pinot Noir and ranted against the commonality of Merlot. Sales took a double-digit dip. But loyalty has slowly brought it back. Most premium producers stuck by their Merlot, and today its reputation and sales have regained altitude, though it takes balls to order a bottle in some circles. Conversational Tidbit: Although Sideways is entertaining, Miles' logic was often impaired. Pétrus, one of the most revered Bordeaux makers, is made almost entirely from Merlot. Recommended Bottles: 2010 Ridge Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Merlot; 2007 Macari North Fork of Long Island Merlot Reserve (pictured); 2008 Petrus; 2010 Trefethen Oak Knoll of Napa Valley Merlot.
Wines for Dessert, or Just for Fun
By HOWARD G. GOLDBERG, Published: November 27, 2013 Dessert wines, which accompany all sorts of final dinner courses and sometimes serve as such courses in themselves, are a charming feature of Long Island vintners' portfolios… The 2011 Block E ($40 for a half-bottle) from Macari Vineyards, in Mattituck, is complex, spicy and super-luscious. Predominantly chardonnay, it also has small quantities of viognier and pinot gris. Block E is 10 acres given solely to dessert wines. The cool breezes of nearby Long Island Sound keep the acidity of the grapes high enough to give the wine zing. The 2011 is the color of polished brass, with a creamy texture, and it comes across as variously dry, semisweet and sweet. Macari's aromatic, delicious 2011 riesling, a late-harvest wine ($40 for a half-bottle) made from Finger Lakes fruit, competes with Block E. It is dry enough to be an aperitif.

With the Loire Valley in mind, Joseph Macari originally planted Sauvignon Blanc on the North Fork of Long Island convinced of the similarities of the terrain. I might say with good results. Here is a wonderful 2012 Vintage, pale dusty yellow colors in the glass, high in acidity with aromas of honeydew melon, citrus and grass, while on the palate strong notes of grapefruit and lime and more melon. Paired beautifully with a pasta with shrimp dish. $23/bottle.

New York State of Wine
With the locavore movement in full swing and sommeliers across New York City exalting local vintages, the time is ripe for New York wines. But as the Empire State's best vintages struggle to find their place on menus (and in consumers' awareness), it's hard to understand why New York City isn't following its traditions of supporting local agriculture and vintners as it does with greenmarkets and CSAs—and basically all of artisan-driven Brooklyn…
Vigna Uva Vino: Macari Early Wine
Not being a big fan of Chardonnay, I was shocked at how much I loved this "young wine" from Macari Vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island. Macari's Austrian consultant Winemaker, Helmut Gangl made the call to try to mimic this traditional Austrian style. And it works. Ready to drink only 3 months after harvest, to me it's more like a cross between a Riesling and a Sauvignon Blanc, bright and crisp….

Panic in Obama Camp over Jewish Vote [incl. Rashid Khalidi]
by Thomas Lifson
In a clear sign of desperation, the Obama campaign has called a halt to all debates before Jewish groups with representatives of the Republican Jewish Coalition. The Jewish Journal reports:
The Jewish intellectual tradition is built upon the foundation of vigorous disputation as the path to the truth. It would appear that with so many awkward questions about Obama's friendship with Rashid Khalidi, his 20 years in Reverend Wright's church, and his many anti-Israel foreign policy advisors, the Obama campaign is unable to withstand sustained scrutiny.
The website Mere Rhetoric comments:
So far as we know, this ban does not affect the two debates in South Florida this week scheduled between American Thinker's Richard Baehr and Ira Foreman of the National Jewish Democratic Committee
Thursday, Oct. 23, 7:30 am- 9 am at the Kravis Center, 701 Okeechobee blvd. West Palm Beach, Florida
Topic: What's a Jew to do?

L'échec de la certification forestière. Le cas de la certification FSC examiné au travers de la sociologie de la traduction
Initiated in the 1990s, forest certification aims to promote sustainable forest management. However, despite the efforts devoted to its implementation, it does not attain the success expected. Through the study of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification in the light of the actor-network theory, this article aims to synthesize the causes of this failure and to propose some avenues for overcoming them.
