Associate Professor
Office: Leacock 932
Email: alia.al-saji [at] mcgill.ca (Alia al-saji)
Alia Al-Saji has a PhD in Philosophy from Emory University (2002), following an MA in Philosophy from K. U. Leuven (1995) and a Bachelor of Arts & Science (McMaster University, 1993). She has taught at McGill since 2002. Her work brings together and critically engages 20th century phenomenology and French philosophy, on the one hand, and critical race and feminist theories, on the other. Running through her research is an abiding concern for questions of time and embodiment, the intersection of which she seeks to philosophically elaborate.
Al-Saji's research has been supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and Le fonds de recherche du Québec en société et culture. In 2009, she was awarded a fellowship at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France, and since 2009, she has been a fellow at the Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas (IPLAI) at McGill University. She has been awarded a fellowship at the Institute of Advanced Study in Durham University for fall 2012.
Al-Saji has served on the executive committee of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), the second largest philosophical association in North America (2009-2012). She is currently a co-editor of the Symposia on Gender, Race and Philosophy and the Feminist Philosophy section editor of Philosophy Compass.
Al-Saji's research traces two interrelated trajectories. The first trajectory explores questions of embodiment, memory and intersubjectivity in terms both of affectivity and perception. She aims to think intersubjective relations in temporal terms, drawing on the philosophies of Henri Bergson and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
In the second trajectory, Al-Saji develops a phenomenology of what has been called "cultural racism". She offers a feminist analysis of representations of Muslim women in contemporary Western contexts by questioning the ways in which race and gender are at play in attitudes toward the Muslim headscarf or "veil".
Al-Saji is currently completing a book manuscript entitled The Time of Difference: Thinking memory, perception and ethics with Bergson and Merleau-Ponty. This manuscript not only presents a sustained argument for thinking intersubjectivity temporally, but also brings together her two research trajectories by asking after the ethics and politics of memory and perception. The book draws on phenomenological, feminist and critical-race analyses of objectifying—specifically racializing—ways of seeing in order to understand their limits and the possibilities for "seeing differently".

Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse Chiefs general manager Tex Simone will drop the ceremonial first puck when the Syracuse Crunch hosts the Albany Devils at 7 p.m. Friday, at the War Memorial Arena.
A Syracuse native, Simone began his journey with the Chiefs in 1961 working with the grounds crew. After working his way from Public Relations Director to Business Manager, Simone became the team's General Manager in 1970, a position he held for 26 years.
"With the start of baseball season upon us, we are excited to have Tex join us Friday, allowing us a chance to 'tip our cap' to him for his five-plus decades of dedication to baseball in Syracuse," said Crunch COO Jim Sarosy said in a statement. "In the same way the Crunch have recognized Syracuse sports icons, like Carmen Basilio, members of the Syracuse Stars, Blazers and Nationals, we feel it is appropriate to salute Tex and thank him for his many contributions to Syracuse."
Simone resigned his position as the team's executive vice president and chief operating officer in September, although he retains an honorary consultant's role with the team.

What a great win for Mark Williams last night, 5-4 from 4-2 down against Marco Fu.
I said on commentary for Eurosport that the decider was one of the most important frames of his career. I didn't feel like an overstatement then and it doesn't feel like one now.
Had he lost it, he would have been no better than 35th in the provisional rankings and bang under pressure at the China Open. Now he's won it the Welsh left-hander is up to 29th with a chance to go higher.
What impressed me last night was Williams's attitude. Neither player was at the top of his game but Fu would admit that he had a great run of the ball. Everything seemed to go against Williams but he didn't once let his head drop or allow frustration to overcome him.
In the end, this is why he won.
Anyone who knows Mark will attest to how laid back he is but, on the table, he's always been a fighter.
Look at the two world titles he won - both by 18-16 margins.
Look at his Masters victory over Stephen Hendry ten years ago when he came from 9-6 down to win 10-9 on a re-spotted black.
Look at his capture of the Welsh title in 1999 when he edged Hendry 9-8.
Dropping out of the top 32 would be a huge blow to him. Indeed, he spoke darkly of retirement should it happen after losing at the Masters.
I don't think he would walk away even if he were consigned to life in the qualifiers.
Equally, I think Williams is now most likely to remain in the top 32 and, who knows, he may even scrape into the top 16 with a good finish to the season.
This is where a player of his class belongs.

The reason I got into this profession
At an early age, I discovered that even smart people can make bad financial decisions. I watched my father earn millions during the "tech bubble" and lose everything overnight when the bubble burst.
Several years later, my father called me to discuss a new company in which he was planning to invest. The first words out of my mouth were "I want to manage your finances." In my quest to gain more in-depth financial and investment knowledge, I realized that it wasn't just about helping my father manage his finances, it was about helping others like him avoid the same financial missteps.
One thing I'm doing to help the planet
Recycling whenever possible, and encouraging those around me to do the same.
Outside of work, my passions include
Running, watching sports (Penn State, NY Giants, Lakers, Dodgers and Kings), traveling, reading, volunteering, spending time with friends and living life to the fullest.
One goal I'm saving for
Travel! I suffer from an extreme case of wanderlust. Up next: France, Germany and Southeast Asia.
The primary way I'm advancing my career knowledge
In The Good Boatman: A Portrait of Gandhi, the author writes that Mahatma Ghandi subscribed to the view that "a man should live thinking he might die tomorrow but learn as if he would live forever." I couldn't agree more.
Since my personal mantra is "never stop learning," I attend conferences and networking events, read investment-related books and periodicals, and mentor with industry-leading professionals who have dedicated their lives to helping clients navigate the path to financial success.

Here is my account of Froggatt from last weekend.
The week had been building towards this day. I had been massaging people on Farcebook all week trying to get a group of us together for the trip.
I am excited ... I'm nervous.
I get an early night sacking off match of the day still feeling a little hungover and knackered from the exploits of the night before.
I wake up I look at my clock. It's 7am. I remember receiving a text message the night before when I was half asleep. I roll over and grab my phone. It's Hobbs asking if there is room in the car for the day out. I say no, as I already had four of us, I say I will text him if some one drops out. I look out the window (please be damp) there is only a morning due and its over cast (please rain). I lay there for a while lost in thoughts of issues that have been building a while (bad head space) and nerves kick in.
I can't get back to sleep. I lay there till 8 ish and get up. I stick on the replay of match of the day barely watching. I feel messed up and my head is stuck in a loop of thoughts.
I am not hungry but I go make a bowl of cereal and I force myself to eat it. The food is not sitting right. I finish it. I am looking for my climbing trousers I can't find them. I wear a pair of jeans. I start thinking what if they are not loose enough what if the material gets in the way. My brain starts going in loops again.
I grab some shorts chuck them in my bag I had packed the night before. I then grab an apple and a bottle of water. I am ready. I decide to leave the camera at home thinking the trip is all about climbing today.
I set off to pick up Staples, Matt and SaRa. Matt texts me they are running late. I arrive outside of snow island and text Staples. He replys saying he is not coming, he has too much Uni work and just woke up. I give Hobbs a call from the car park. Clearly half asleep I tell him Tom's dropped out and there is room. He's keen and says he will be ready in 10. I text Matt to say I am in the car park. I am listening to music trying to keep my brain from running in circles. I also text Les, Nick and Kasia.
I feel like I have been waiting ages and Matts head appears out the door him and SaRa come and join me. We set off to pick up Tom. I am focusing on driving with one eye on the weather thinking it could turn. Nick is in Sheff and giving weather updates if it does.
We grab Tom he says do you mind if we stop somewhere for food, I say okay we can stop in Hathersage (I just want to get there). I am nervous again, but the eagerness off all in the car to go climbing psyches me up.
Driving along I focus on the music and the road forcing my thought away from everything else.
We stop at Hathersage I think I could buy some trousers. I try some on they don't fit. I am nervous once more. (It's only a fucking pair of trousers MAN UP GET ON WITH IT).
We set off again, just a couple of miles now. We get parked up. The walk to Froggatt feel long its a flat 10 mins walk. Easy effortless even carrying a heavy pack with a rope. I try and keep talking stop thinking just keep talking.
We are just getting to the top of the crag there is a bit of drizzle in the air (no I want to get it over). The rock feels dry.
We start off at Sunset slab area. Is my head working today (It's been working overtime so far). I solo sunset slab to warm up to see if my head is working can I cope with hard moves with ground fall potential. I then solo sunset crack. The rock is so grippy the friction is amazing.
I set Tom on leading sunset crack and say I am off for a walk to see if I can find Nick. I am lying. I am nervous. I want to be alone.
I walk long the crag and spot that motorcade is free I walk up and try and solo it. The first 5a move feels solid but I can not commit. I back off and walk towards the easy routes next to great slab. There are kids top roping it. Ok can't solo them. (Fuck my head is not working how can I do brown's). I walk round and look at it (please be wet). There are some dark marks on the crimps but this is just the colour of the rock.
I return to see Tom at the top of sunset slab ... his first HVS. NICE ONE. I am psyched for him. I have to do it now.
Nick arrives and warns of rain in sheff it starts to spit. FUCK. He says if I am doing it I have to go now.
My brain goes to overdrive. I am babbling like a charlie sheen after hes "banged 7g's of coke cause thats how he rolls". I convince nick I should do motorcade to warm up. He eventually agrees so I rack up and run up it. Forgetting to place the cam and having to place it blind below my feet. The apposing micro's are crap I get them the wrong way around. I do the route no problem very fast. I take longer setting up the belay.
The rain has now passed. We grab the stuff and head to Brown's. Again my head works overtime. (Fuck I just want to get this over with). We get there and people are top roping it and someone is waiting to second green gut. I go take a pee. I try and relax. I sort my rack and flake my rope out. I then look still waiting to get on the route. I grab my helmet. (I hate helmets, someone fell to there death on this route your wearing a fucking helmet). The guy starts to second green gut. I tie in. The guy is fast up green gut (please slow down). The guy is almost to the top so I go to the bottom of the route.
I eagerly pull on climb one move some thing feels wrong I back off. I step on a large block at the ground. I then take a step back the rock drops away. I slip. I am now screaming at myself in my head (WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU CAN'T EVEN STAND UP ON THE GROUND, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS). I stop force my self to stop thinking. There is only the route. Nothing but the route. I clean the grit off my boots.
I pull back on and do the easy moves on green gut before the traverse. The holds feel big and grippy. I see the move onto the traverse. The foot hold looks small and polished. I commit and rock up it feels easy (Focus you have no gear and a big drop below you). I place the gear blind. Its a Camalot 2 with a camalot 1 as a back up. I can't see it the gear is good it feels ok. I give it a couple of tugs it stays.
I shuffle back to the crux. I work the move in my head (I am thinking of nothing but the move). I match on a crimp and place my left foot on a smear. I step back down to the ledge. The move looks hard. I step up again This time a commit. I place my right foot on a tiny ledge. I rock over and do a big reach i get the next crimp I stand up (5b move) I then get the next crimp with my right hand and place my left foot on the crimp off the ledge.
The gear is now about 6ft below my feet and about 4ft to my left. This means at least 9-10ft of rope out from gear to harness, plus slack in the line and stretch means I am going to be close to the floor with a fall with a ledge to hit on the way down.
The next move is a big rock over to a good hold. I can't down climb from here. I commit I rock over and reach I get the ledge (hard 5a) I then match the ledge work my feet up. (YES I have done the hard moves, FOCUS! Still a couple of metres to go). I carefully work my way up the good holds and get to the top jug.
I top out. I shout "FUCKING YESSS!!". First E2 flashed YES. I shout with joy SAFE.
I am so happy everything has cleared from my head all this is left is the joy of the amawing 3* climbing.
I look down and see a crowd had gathered. It reminded me of the sloth all the passers by stopping to watch the you. Tom, Matt and SaRa were also there.
Nick follows me up cleaning the gear and shakes my hand. We drop a rope for tom who follows me up with no real problems.
I feel this blog is long enough and I need to get on with my work. So the rest of fraggatt will follow later in another post.

This "Compare Districts" function has three comparisons:
The district that you select on the county/district pull-downs at the top of the page controls the comparison. Or you can use the site's "Find" feature (also at the top) to locate a district by name, city, zip code, or CDE code.
"Compare...districts in" allows you to include districts from all of California or in a county. On the "Districts Like This" version you also have the option of requesting a list of districts within the county by clicking on "all districts in this county." Doing so will override the other options and take you directly to the Comparison Results Selection.
"of type" allows you to compare all district types or to limit the comparison to a single type of district (such as only Elementary, High School, Unified or Charter districts). The default selection is the "current" district's type. Note: The combination of criteria that you select (such as "All elementary districts in California") may return more data than your computer or Internet browser can manage. If this happens, try again by narrowing the search criteria.
"where largest ethnic group is" allows you to include all ethnic groups or select districts whose largest ethnic group is one of the seven reported to the California Department of Education.
"Focus on districts...with" on the "Districts like this" tab has the values on the pull-down list that you will select to compare districts as well as the definition of "close to" for each one. By selecting and setting your own "close to" values and varying the +/- percentages, you can discover a fascinating variety of facts. You can also control how "close" these values must be to the target school by changing the +/- percent. For instance, if your target district is large, you may be interested in seeing other districts with enrollment within 2% of your enrollment; but if your district is smaller, you may want to expand the comparison to look at districts that are within 10% of your enrollment.
You have the option to further focus your comparison with a "close to," "over" or "under" for a second category. Otherwise, just leave the second option at "no selection."
You may set the "close to" to zero to see only districts that exactly match the particular value you are interested in, or you can specify a number that is above or below the value for the selected district.
"Find districts...with the 'n' highest/lowest values for 'x'" The "Highest/Lowest" tab allows you to choose "highest" or "lowest" values for a selected criterion, such as enrollment, expenditures per ADA, base API scores, average class size, pupil-teacher ratio, % English learners, etc. Again, you have the option of selecting a second criterion.
For some highest/lowest values, the search will produce many matches; for example, many districts have 100% Fully Credentialed Teachers. In those cases, requesting the highest or lowest single value works best. For others, such as API Base Score, values range widely, so that selecting the highest or lowest 5 or 10 values will give more robust results.
If an item has no data for the selected year, it will be "grayed out" (or you will get a message saying that the data is unavailable).
By default, the report compares districts with an enrollment close to the selected district. To change this focus, go back to the pull-down lists in the Comparison Values selection box ("...with) (see Step 2 above).
The +/- percent behaves differently for percentages than it does for numbers. For example, for a Percent Free Meals value of 20 percent, +/- five percent means show any districts whose value is between 15 and 25 percent. But, for an Enrollment of 20, +/- five percent means districts whose enrollment is between 19 and 21.
The full "Show up to" number of districts in the Selection Criteria will not be displayed in the results if fewer districts fit the selected criteria. For instance, if "Show up to" is 25 rows but only 20 districts fit the criteria, you will see 20 in the results.
By default, your selected district will be in the results even if it does not match the criteria you selected. You can exclude it if you prefer by unchecking the selection box.
The checked boxes in the results area show which columns (data elements) will be included in the results report for each district. To expand or reduce the items in your results report, just click a checkbox to select (or deselect) the item; you can also choose "all" or "none" in each category. Then Click to Compare. Items that are not available in the selected year are grayed-out (or you will get a message saying the data is unavailable).
The results are displayed only after you "Click to Compare." They appear on a results tab that is not visible until you click. On the results page, the target district will be highlighted with a light green background (assuming it meets the selected criteria) or you've checked the box to include it.
Holding your mouse over an item in the results report will show what that entry is, such as "X District's % of fully credentialed teachers." This is particularly useful in long reports where the headers are off your screen.
If you want to see expanded financial information on the districts that are in your comparison results, just click on the round button with the scales on the results screen.
The comparison results are sorted in one of two ways. If "close to" criteria are given, the results are sorted by the first criterion. Otherwise, the results are sorted by the district name.
To sort by a different column, simply click on the column heading. The same results are displayed but sorted according to the selected column.
The comparisons, especially those with many columns, are best printed in "landscape" form. Immediately above the table displaying the results you will see a narrative description of the criteria used to produce the report, e.g., Compare all Unified districts with Enrollment between 9,042 and 12,234. By selecting (highlighting) this line and the table below and printing only the "selection", you can avoid printing the navigation box and the Comparison Values Selection.
Click on the button at the top of the District Comparison Results box to compare the district finances of the same districts already listed.
Click on the button (see image above) at the top of the District Comparison Results box to download the data as a spreadsheet. Depending on how your Internet browser is configured, you will either be prompted to save the data to a file on your computer, or the data will load into a spreadsheet that can then be saved to your computer. In addition to the columns shown on the report, each spreadsheet row includes the county code and district code.
Alternatively, you can select and copy the report, then paste it in a new Excel file.
To view the entire report, it may be necessary to scroll up and down or side to side on the screen.
The data in the Compare Districts report are drawn from the District Profile, the Accountability reports, and the Financial Statement for District on this site. The District Profile includes a link to Profile Definitions defining many of the terms used.
With the exception of the county name, the data in each column on the results report are links to more detailed information for the individual district.
To identify the columns on a lengthy report, just hold your mouse over the item.

Chevrolet PhilippinesSubscribe to Chevrolet
Chevrolet was founded in 1911 by ousted General Motors President William C. Durant and Swiss-born race car driver Louis Chevrolet. Together, they used their expertise in automobiles, plus Louis' racing prowess, to build the trusted automotive nameplate we know today.
Their first model, the Chevrolet Series C Classic Six was the star of the show back then, and soon, a number of Chevrolet-made automobiles followed it to success. Models like the H Series and the L Series made waves for around seven years.
But William and Louis had different philosophy, and with this came their eventual disbandment in 1918. Louis sold his share of the brand to Durant, and having established enough reps and funds, Durant had the capabilities to repurchase a considerable percentage of GM's brand, and soon reassumed himself as GM's President. In 1919, the Chevrolet brand merged with GM as a separate automaker, retaining the Chevrolet trademark in the process.
In the Philippines, the bow tie brand is imported and distributed exclusively by The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI) since 2009. TCCCI is pulling all the stops to elevate the brand's success in the local motoring industry, bringing in models such as the Spark, Sail, Cruze, Spin, Orlando, Malibu, Captiva, Trailblazer, Colorado, and of course, the Camaro.
Adapting traditions from the US, Chevy PH continues to make its presence felt by hosting the Chevrolet Motorama annually. The event is a celebration of anything and everything Chevy across various malls nationwide.

Condor Capital's Ken Schapiro: Affordable Luxury Retailers Benefitting from Increased Consumer Selectivity in Discretionary Spending
Apple, Coach, True Religion, Steve Madden Positioned to Capitalize
Oct 26, 2010, 11:00 ET
MARTINSVILLE, N.J., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Condor Capital President and Founder Ken Schapiro reports that a divide is emerging between retailers as consumers have become more selective than ever. While low/middle market retailers continue to post single digit gains and engage in price wars, select retailers on the higher end of the price spectrum are doing quite well.
Schapiro, who manages over $600 million in portfolio assets at Condor, notes that the highest end of the luxury retail market is only beginning to come back and not every high-end company is benefitting, but Apple, Coach, True Religion and Steve Madden – are well positioned. The following Q&A provides Schapiro's view on the market.
Why do you see consumers moving more toward upscale brands?
Consider that while sales at Wal-Mart and Target increased just 2.4% and 3.8% respectively for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the year ago period, Apple (up 61%), Steve Madden (up 36%), True Religion (up 14%) and Coach (up 13%) had decidedly different outlooks.
Consumers have become more selective in their discretionary spending, which bodes well for companies with well-respected brands and quality products. For today's consumers, such 'affordable luxuries' are a way to have desirable status symbols even on a tight budget that may not allow for larger purchases.
What competitive advantages do you see for company's that offer an affordable luxury?
High-end retailers compete on attributes other than price; therefore, they are able to avoid the fierce, margin eroding, price wars occurring in the middle and low-end market. Luxury goods makers have produced slightly lower versions of their products to entice buyers, leveraging the prestige of their names.
Higher-end companies were hit hard during the early recession as consumers drastically reduced their expenditures. However, they are coming back very strong as consumers increase their spending, though they seek luxuries that are lower in overall price. For example, splurging on a designer handbag, jeans, or shoes, rather than a new car or expensive vacation.
Do you see the affordable luxury trend strictly as a U.S. development or is there international relevance?
Companies producing affordable luxuries have immense overseas expansion potential among the growing middle class in developing economies. China, in particular, seeks the same luxuries that are afforded to western consumers and they now have the disposable income to purchase these 'entry-level' luxuries.
Strength in the Japanese Yen has sparked an increase in third-party online retailers selling luxury items in Japan at deep discounts from the prices seen at traditional Japanese luxury retailers, where shoppers usually pay a significant mark-up, often dubbed the 'Japan Premium' over prices in domestic markets for posh surroundings and attentive service representatives. Many companies in this space are attractively valued when viewed from a historical perspective, and as compared to the broader market.
What do you like particularly about Apple, Coach, True Religion and Steve Madden?
Apple products such as its Mac desktop and notebook computers, as well as its hit new iPad are gaining market share despite carrying a significantly higher price point. Coach plans to open 30 stores in China during fiscal 2011, up from 13 in fiscal 2010, and their recent sales figures are extremely strong.
Consumers view premium denims as a value purchase in a tough economy and, as True Religion CEO Jeffrey Lubell has mentioned, jeans are not the kind of thing you wear once like a formal dress and they never go out of style. Higher end shoe retailers like Steve Madden are also noticing a pick-up thanks to improving fall sales with analysts raising the outlook for 2010 same store sales.

Grant & Eisenhofer Launches Consumer Class Action Practice, Led by Prominent Litigator Adam J. Levitt; Firm Opens Chicago Office
Levitt has directed major consumer and business class actions, recovering more than $1 billion in the last two years for plaintiffs; currently litigating cases against ConAgra, DuPont, and Porsche; will head G&E's new Chicago office, expanding firm's platform to include high-profile consumer litigation
Jan 28, 2013, 11:36 EST
CHICAGO, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading shareholder and corporate governance law firm Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. has launched a national consumer class action litigation practice led by prominent Chicago-based litigator Adam J. Levitt. Mr. Levitt, who joins G&E as a director, will also head the firm's newly opened Chicago office, which is expected to add more lawyers in 2013. Mr. Levitt was previously a partner with Wolf Haldenstein in Chicago.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130128/NY49188)
Mr. Levitt's arrival marks G&E's latest expansion of its plaintiffs' practice work, growing out of the firm's longtime advocacy for institutional and private investors. The Chicago location also becomes the firm's fourth office, in addition to New York, Wilmington, Del. and Washington, DC.
Mr. Levitt has one of the country's leading consumer class action practices. He's had particular success bringing cases in the agriculture and biotech industries; he also handles securities and antitrust matters. Mr. Levitt served as co-lead counsel in two of the largest agri/biotech class actions in recent years, securing more than $1 billion in damages for plaintiffs. In the case In re Genetically Modified Rice Litigation, Mr. Levitt obtained a $750 million recovery on behalf of long-grain rice producers who suffered losses resulting from the contamination of the U.S. rice supply with unapproved, genetically-modified seeds. In the second case, In re StarLink Corn Products Liability Litigation, Mr. Levitt recovered $110 million on behalf of farmers whose corn crop suffered losses due to contamination from genetically-modified StarLink corn.
Mr. Levitt is currently co-lead counsel in several notable consumer actions. He represents car buyers in a product liability class action against Porsche involving claims arising from defective parts in the automaker's Cayenne model (In re Porsche Cars North America, Inc., Plastic Coolant Tubes Products Liability Litigation). He also represents consumers challenging ConAgra's marketing of its Wesson Oil products as "100% Natural," despite the use of genetically-modified ingredients (In re ConAgra Foods, Inc.). And he represents landowners and landscapers in a class action against DuPont seeking to recover damages for tree and other foliage death and other harm caused by DuPont's Imprelis herbicide (In re Imprelis Herbicide, Sales Practice and Products Liability Litigation).
The addition of a consumer class action practice broadens Grant & Eisenhofer's notable litigation platform. G&E's caseload over the last several years has grown to include bankruptcy, antitrust, whistleblower and false claims litigation – in the latter the firm has gained record recoveries from cases tied to deceptive foreclosure practices by banks as well as off-label marketing abuses by the pharmaceutical industry.
G&E co-managing directors Stuart Grant and Jay Eisenhofer commented on Mr. Levitt's arrival and the new Chicago office: "We're extremely happy to welcome Adam to the firm – his arrival gives us a major launch pad in establishing a high-profile, national consumer practice," the two partners said. "Consumer class actions are a natural outgrowth of our historic practice litigating on behalf of investors. Adam's success in representing consumers and business owners in high-stakes cases, such as the genetically modified corn and rice litigation, adds an important dimension to our caseload."
Mr. Levitt said, "G&E's name, reputation and track record atop the nation's plaintiffs' bar speak for themselves. The firm's selectivity in choosing only the most meritorious cases is a strategy I have long favored – I would much prefer to bring one high-quality action than file dozens of cases in the hopes that something will stick. I'm very excited about partnering with G&E and in growing our consumer practice together."
He continued: "The past few years witnessed an extraordinary degree of corporate irresponsibility that has damaged consumers – in financial services, packaged foods, automotive and other sectors. Whether the cause is deceptive advertising, defective manufacturing, online data breaches involving individuals' personal information or contamination of our food supply – consumers are increasingly playing the role of private attorneys general by bringing class actions to court. I look forward to expanding Grant & Eisenhofer's work in this area and in building the firm's presence in the Chicago market."
Mr. Levitt is President of the Class Action Trial Lawyers division of The National Trial Lawyers. He is also an elected member of the American Law Institute and an Advisory Board member of the Institute for Consumer Antitrust Studies. Mr. Levitt has testified before the Illinois Supreme Court Rules Committee on class action practice and related issues.
Besides publishing regularly, Mr. Levitt is a frequent speaker on litigation topics. He recently chaired Law Seminars International's "Litigating Class Actions" conference in Chicago, and he is presenting at the upcoming National Trial Lawyers' annual summit in Miami Beach, where his topic will be "What Every Lawyer Needs to Know about Filing Class Certification Motions." In February he'll be speaking on deposing corporate executives at a trial skills retreat in Jackson Hole sponsored by the 360 Advocacy Institute. And in June he will be speaking on current trends in multidistrict litigation practice at a class action program organized by Law Seminars International in Boston.
Mr. Levitt received his undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Columbia University, and his J.D. from the Northwestern University School of Law.
Since its founding in 1997, the firm's central focus has been representation of institutional investors internationally in securities class actions, corporate governance cases and derivative litigation. G&E has led some of the largest investor recoveries on record in securities cases, including serving as co-lead counsel to investors in a class action against Tyco International. The resulting $3 billion settlement in 2007 represented the largest payment ever made by a corporate defendant in a securities class action. Overall, the firm has recovered more than $13 billion for investors and other clients.
Note: Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. represents institutional investors and shareholders internationally in securities class actions, corporate governance actions and derivative litigation. The firm has recovered more than $13 billion for investors and has consistently been cited by RiskMetrics for securing among the highest average investor recovery in securities class actions. Grant & Eisenhofer has been named one of the country's top plaintiffs' law firms by The National Law Journal for the past eight years. For more about Grant & Eisenhofer, visit www.gelaw.com.

1981-1984: Sheldon Soffer, Sheldon Soffer Management
We brought together most of the managements as a unit, which gave NAPAMA a voice to be heard by presenters. Our mission at that stage was to try to get as many managers to become members, and if I remember correctly we also started adding the arts administrators as members. Our other major mission was to become recognized in the industry as an important organization that would bring the industry together. We also started to have meetings of our members at the regional meetings as well as the national and international meetings.
England and other countries organized on the Continent a similar organization to the one we founded. I was an original member when it was organized. The mission of the group was:
- To recruit as many managers as possible;
- To make the group known for its attempt to bring the industry together in cooperation on many matters;
- To have our purpose recognized by the arts administrators so that problems can be readily solved;
- To organize regional and national meetings to include all managers throughout the U.S.A.;
- To cooperate with foreign managers to solve many problems.

In 1975 while I was in medical school at UCLA, I was privy to hear one of the more important lectures of my career. Bernie Siegel, M.D. presented a guest lecture on the topic of "curing cancer using deep visualization & mind imaging." He taught that by converting thoughts to images, one could cause body biochemistry to change.
His metaphor was to visualize an attack by alien spaceships as cancer cells, then the cancer victim would shoot them down with laser rays from the ground before they landed. In a clinical study published earlier, he proved a significant reduction of cancer in those who used the technique.
The study led to the publishing of his book in 1986 on the subject "Love, Medicine and Miracles." This book was a New York Times best seller for many years.
At his invitation, I studied with Dr. Siegel and learned his technique. I use it in my work with people who have spinal cord injuries. This concept combined with my training in hypnotherapy and neuro linguistic programming has allowed me to produce an amplified version of Dr. Siegel's work, which I call "regenerative visualization".
Regenerative Visualization
The purpose of "regenerative visualization" is to train the person with the spinal cord injury to intentionally produce brain signals using visualization of activities, sports, or any form of movement, (which can be seen using fMRI) and send them to the nerves which power the now non-functioning muscles.
I have found in my work over the years, with people who have spinal cord injuries, that through this process we can consistently elicit movement throughout the body no matter how severe the spinal cord damage.
A Step-by-Step Process
The "regenerative visualization" session proceeds in a step by step fashion. First, there is the establishment of a relaxed hypnotic trance state where the mind is cleared and open to imagery.
Next, an activity is introduced that aligns with the client's likes and favorites. Some of these include running, bicycling, swimming, surfing, dancing, and rock climbing.
What activity would YOU pick for your "regenerative visualization" sessions? Maybe mountain biking like this woman in Italy? Tell us in the comments below!
During this part of the session, careful attention is paid to the details of feeling and movement of each nerve, muscle, limb, digit, etc.
The sessions are trained, practiced, corrected, re-trained, and practiced again until the client comes to the end of the 45 minute session with an increased heart rate and respiratory rate, sometimes out of breath, and certainly sweating and tired. We are able to witness and track movements that occur during the sessions.
Our clients do this daily throughout the entire rehabilitation process. They do it with anticipation as they understand it accelerates the repair process and helps produce the changes they are seeking in their recovery.

As the most powerful site building platform with numerous advanced features, WordPress has been favored by webmasters for different purposes. That can be an individual blog, online store, e-commerce site, wiki page, forum, and so on so forth. By means of multiple rich-featured plugins and premium themes, there is nothing difficult to achieve all goals and that should include Learning Management System (LMS).
An LMS shows e-learning resources to your target readers in a systematic way, which collects all correlative information together for ease of search and reference. That is especially suitable for teachers who wish to give their students online guidance or for employers who wish to assign training to employees so as to improve vocational skills efficiently. If you plan to create a Learning Management System with a collection of resources for your readers, follow this guide that can help you use WordPress as an LMS with a few steps.
Preparations for a Learning Management System
Since some of you lack understanding of LMS and have no idea what to do before creating a Learning Management System, we would like to show you a satisfactory answer upon cutting to the chase. The following preparations should be taken into consideration before making your Learning Management System.
Install WordPress
Before everything, you need to install WordPress on your website so as to make sure that the left steps go on wheel. The most recommendable way to do so is the use of Softaculous, a great application installer included in cPanel. Log into cPanel and go to Software/Services > Softaculous to complete the installation with a few clicks. In some cases, the 1-click installer can be SimpleScripts or Fantastico and that depends on the selected web hosting provider.
Be Fully Aware of Your Purpose
Think through your intention to create the Learning Management System and make clear what need to be included in your LMS. Keep in mind that the learning resources should satisfy the needs of your target readers.
For instance, we are running a WordPress hosting resources sharing website that helps visitors acquire knowledge about site building & development, and then we would like to create an LMS having to do with how to make a WordPress website, how to choose a suitable WordPress hosting provider, how to amaze visitors with great web design, and some other online tutorials.
Select a Powerful LMS Plugin
A big advantage of WordPress is that this great software enables a large number of plugins for users to add more functions to the websites. The creation of Learning Management System is no exception. In this guide, we select Namaste! LMS in this step-by-step guide and put it into good use to help you use WordPress as an LMS. And now, let's get started to install this plugin and make it work for your site exactly.
Use WordPress As an LMS by Means of Namaste! LMS
Namaste! LMS is a free Learning Management System and that helps you create assignments, courses, lessons, and any other content without limitation. If you are running an educational institution or plan to start an education website, this tool is a superexcellent option for you. This is because it has the ability to manage students and lessons with ease.
Besides, by cooperating with some rich-featured plugins, like Watu, Namaste Reports and Namaste Connect, the Namaste! LMS enables you to run powerful reports, receive & send automated email and connect to exams without a hitch. Access to your WP admin and complete the installation via Plugins > Add New.
There are two items appearing in the sidebar, including Namaste!LMS and My Courses, which are used for the management of all content in the Learning Management System. A list of items is included under Namaste! LMS item and that should be disposed in turn. To begin with, you are required to get started with the first course.
Go to Namaste! LMS > Courses > Add New and enter the basic information of the course as required. Note that, the permalink of this newly created course is automatically generated as http://yourwebstie.com/namaste-course/course-name.
Scroll down this edit page and focus on "Namaste Settings" mode. There are two options available for you to customize enrollment, which enable logged in users enroll this course themselves or allow you to manually enroll students in courses. Make a choice according to personal needs.
Besides, the shortcode [namaste-enroll] is used to insert a button into the course content, which shows visitors enrolled messages strikingly. The shortcode [namaste-enroll course_id=105] can come into use if you want to display current course on other pages. To show assignees the tasks to be resolved, the shortcode [namaste-todo] comes in handy. If you want to display lessons in certain course, then you should go with the shortcode [namaste-course-lessons].
Note that, the Excerpt mode is where to leave a remark to that course and it is optional for you. "Publish" this course since you have confirmed all content filled out just now.
In the same way, you can create as many courses as needed. Name all courses properly and get started to create lessons for each course.
Go to Namaste! LMS > Lessons > Add New and go to the edit page for your first lesson. Give the lesson a proper name and enter specific content as planned. To do so as what you have done to create your first course.
Move to "Namaste! Settings" mode and customize this lesson as required. Firstly, you need to assign this lesson to a certain course and that should be the one you have created just now. Here, we assign our first lesson to the course 1. Besides, the "Lesson Completeness" option is used to modify the requirements of a completed lesson. In this way, you can determine whether to manually approve a lesson.
The shortcode [namaste-todo] displays a to-do list on that lesson and let students into the tasks to be completed. To allow students to mark each lesson completed by themselves, you are required to insert the shortcode [namaste-mark] to a lesson.
Click "Publish" to make this lesson public. And then, create more lessons as you need and assign to certain courses.
After creating all courses and lessons as planned, you should set about starting some assignments and assigning homework to all students. Go to Namaste!LMS > Assignments and access to the "Assignments/Homework" page. Select a course from the drop-down list and pick out a lesson as well. Create new assignment by clicking the link "Click here to create new assignment".
And then, you are turned to an edit page where requires you to enter a title of this assignment and give it a description to the point. You can add some media files to this assignment by clicking "Add Media" and that can be a link to certain page. "Create Assignment" if you have all settings done.
A shortcode is generated automatically since you have confirmed all settings. You can copy & paste the shortcode to certain pages or posts and make the assignment public on the website frontend.
For example, we copy & Paste the shortcode [namaste-assignments lesson_id="113″] to a sample page and test if it runs well on the website frontend.
Having created courses, lessons and assignments as expected, you should take up student enrollments for the mean time. Access to Student Enrollments setting page via Namaste!LMS > Students. Before everything, you are required to select a course from the drop-down list. And then, enter email or user login of the student who is going to be enrolled in this course. You can enroll as many students as needed. Click "Enroll" and proceed to the next step.
You can filter students according to four statuses, including Pending, Enroll, Rejected and Completed. Perhaps, leaving it as Any Status is also feasible here in this case.

Now, I know that the title doesn't seem very 'food related' but it is, promise.
Last week I attended a cocktail masterclass hosted by Culture Vulture and Call Lane Social. The bar is situated on Call Lane, (surprisingly) and is the third bar venture for Phil and Mel Harrison who, also own Verve and the Reform.
When I think of cocktails I always think of a Tom Cruise-esque (late 80's era) character throwing bottles in the air, I remember thinking when I was younger that it all looked a bit too dangerous.
The weather might have been miserable but, we were given the warmest of welcome when we arrived.
Our masterclass was upstairs to the Tiki bar, the space upstairs was amazing and would be ideal for a small party. Scattered with Polynesian sculptures you could see that a lot of thought had gone into the design.
Andy was our host for the night and the first cocktail we made was called the Amputated Zombie (Ahhh I hear you all cry).
The cocktail we were told was created by Donn Beach and was given its name because of its potency. It's a mixture of three Rums (Wray and Nephew, Appletons VX and Myers) so after two of these you would be on the floor.
After Andy showed us how it was done, we all got a chance to have a go ourselves.
Call Lane Social uses fresh limes as the base of most of their cocktails, this means that lime juicing is the first job of the day. Andy told us to get one bottle of their lime juice takes on average 30 limes.
The best part of this cocktail is the theatrical element. The Zombie is topped with Wray and Nephew rum soaked honeycomb and then doused with a little bit more rum before being set alight.
The next cocktail we made was called the Culture Vulture God (Created especially for us), as this cocktail is not shaken but swizzled we were able to make them at the bar.
The Culture Vulture God uses Call Lane's very own secret mix of rums, made in old Rum bottles. Traditionally Tiki bars would have their own rum mix that would be a closely guarded secret.
After all this cocktail making we were all a bit errr 'pooped', so we had our last cocktail of the night.
Call Lane Social, for me is the jewel of Call Lane and is definitely somewhere I will be going to again.

What to CookSoup
5 Soups That Pack Well (+ 5 Tips for Choosing Your Own)
As a defiant response to Sad Desk Lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty. Each week, we'll be sharing our happiest desk lunches -- and we want to see yours, too.
Today: Pick the right soup to pack. (While you're at it, pack a peck of pickled peppers.)
As I see it, we're still a good 40 lunches away from t-shirts and flip flops and RAMPS!!!. Forty lunches of food that should warm you up and, in its pleasurable flavor, give you something to think about other than gray, chilly skies or metastasizing to-do lists.
Good soup will do this for you. Pack some up in your thermos, or just use a mason jar and your friendly office microwave. Let lunch hold you close until spring lets you run free, your hair laced with pea shoot garlands.
Here are some soup-packing tips, from our office to yours:
- Greens in soup can get a little bit sad when reheated, so go for something with sturdier vegetables.
- Stay away from noodle soups. Nobody wants reheated noodle mush.
- Pick something that's packed with beans or grains or other rib-sticking foods. Or supplement with good, crusty bread.
- Avoid yogurt-based soups; they need to be reheated gently, which is a challenge in your local break room's 1987 microwave.
- Consider how your colleagues will feel if you reheat fish stew and then the entire office smells of fish stew. Just consider it.
Get started with these lunchbox-friendly recipes:
1. Start with tomato soup, whose soul-comforting abilities have already been well documented. Make this spicy Genius recipe, or improvise your own.
2. Merrill's White Bean Soup covers all your necessary bases: quick to make, filling but healthful, and just as good -- if not better -- on day two.
3. The little black dress of soups is actually orange. This Roasted Carrot Soup never fails. Learn it. Love it.
4. Butternut Squash Soup with Miso tastes creamy, but won't leave you with a 3 PM dairy hangover. And the ginger-cayenne-miso combination will keep boredom at bay. (If you're really struggling with ennui you could also keep one of those joke-of-the-day calendars at your desk.)
5. Satisfaction, thy name is cheese. Specifically, Parmesan cheese. In this Broccoli, Lemon, and Parmesan Soup. Until sweater weather subsides, this will be your trusty companion.
Tell us: What are your favorite soups to pack into your lunch box?

Delivered" Launch date: November 2011 Creative credits: Art director: Antony Bennett; copywriter: Brad Roseberry Why we liked it: For a consulting company, the proof is in the client case studies—how it helped a business make money, save money, expand to new markets, streamline processes. Accenture wisely puts what it did for client Caterpillar front and center in this print ad. Even better, it uses numbers in the ad's headline: "Over 300% growth in Asia Pacific and a mountain of success for Caterpillar." Copy details how Accenture helped its client achieve that big number. The ad's art direction and visuals are similarly direct and effective, showing a Caterpillar front-loader in action and placing Accenture's large, red "greater-than" logo in the center of the ad. It draws the reader's eye to the center of the page and calls attention to the campaign tagline: "High performance. Delivered." Most Popular In this article: BtoB

There would be no big-time comedy festival in Chicago in 2014, it seemed, until four Chicago comics and a journalist decided to create their own. The Just For Laughs Chicago comedy festival, sponsored by TBS, had been hosted in Chicago for five straight years until it was canceled this year. To replace it, local comedians put their heads together to establish the Comedy Exposition of 2014, set for July 11-13.
Four Chicago comedians—Katie McVay, Stephanie Hasz, Zach Peterson and Goodrich Gevaart—as well as comedy writer Matt Byrne have banded together to create the once-a-year comedy festival featuring national headliners and local comedians.


text: Hi, I have a Supercard SC1, and just beat the game Pokémon Ranger. Having beat the game, I decided I'd mess around with the cheats. So I applied some and next thing you know I appear to have broken my save file. Instead of the usual 512KB (I set it to that, though I realize it can also be 256), it's not 1.5MB (off-standard size)... and it will load the game, showing my name and that I'm level 10... but you click on it and it just turns black and freezes. Same goes for the missions or anything that otherwise loads the map. I have uploaded the file here: http://drfsupercenter.info/Pokemon%20Range...C%20Broken).sav I've worked too hard for this to happen... if anyone can fix it so it'll load in the Supercard, I'd greatly appreciate it. Perhaps I got a bad ROM dump... for some reason, if I do Save State, when I load it it screws up too, where it'll show the map but refuses to load any linked objects... so the second I move off the map or try to talk to someone it freezes, same as what it's doing with that save. All my other games work fine for saving state. Any ideas? PS - I'd put this in the Supercard forum, but I think it's just a universal .sav so it should work with any cart.

Today I dropped by my local library, the Mt. Lebanon Public Library to return a book (Susan Cooper's Seaward, for those of you keeping score at home). As is my habit, I swung by the Science Fiction section to browse. That didn't work out so well this time, because there no longer is a Science Fiction section. Instead there is an alarming orange sign informing alarmed readers that, "Science Fiction books are being shelved with the Fiction books".
The non-alarmed among my readers are doubtless thinking, "So what?". Why does Science Fiction deserve an independent section, as opposed to Historical Fiction, Romance Fiction, or Russian Fiction? That's a fair question. People are certainly entitled to enjoy other kinds of fiction more than SF. Also, there is an argument that interspersing different kinds of fiction on a shelf breaks down barriers by helping readers discover they enjoy a wide variety of books. So what's the problem?
I think that Science Fiction is different. Science Fiction is the literature of the future, and we all aspire to living in the future. In fact, we have no choice but to live in the future, which makes it very important that we make intelligent choices about which future we live in. Ideas take a long time to percolate through society. If we're going to possess the technology for complete surveillance (and we are!), we need to think (for decades) about how to use that technology and limit its uses, so it's a good thing we've been reading 1984. If we're going to possess the technology to edit the human genome in ways which could split humanity into subspecies (and we will!), we need to think (for decades) about that, so it's a good thing we've been reading Brave New World (and also, hopefully, Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix Plus).
In other words, I'm claiming that, just as your local library probably has a Travel section among the non-fiction shelves, we are well advised to have a "Travel to the Future" section, depicting both places to visit and places to avoid, somewhere. That "somewhere" is necessarily part of Fiction. Why should it be (despite the choice of my town's library staff) a separate, free-standing section? I think that thinking about the future is a good habit which should be encouraged, and the emphasis provided by an independent shelf helps. But beyond that I think it is beneficial for the various (and varied) visions of the future to sit side-by-side on a shelf, jockying for our attention, belief, and commitment (or rejection). Just as our hands pick one book or the next, we will choose to emphasize, develop, or restrict the engineering, social, and political technologies which will shape our future.
Maybe you buy my shelving argument and maybe you don't. But while I have your attention (however that happened), I'd like to discuss something else on my mind. Some people enjoy reading about possible futures. Sometimes Science Fiction is derided as escapist literature, and there is some truth to that. People who aren't escapists, or who find other escapes more enticing than SF, should be forgiven for not reading all the SF, or even all the good SF, that's out there. But there are some SF books which I wish "non-SF" people would read. I believe they're well-written and address timely topics; they're about people, not laser guns.
- Deepness in the Sky (Vernor Vinge)
- I think this is a great book about the nature of authority, the potential malleability of human society, and an important reminder that the sweep of human history, which has already outlived the collapse of particular civilizations, probably will again. The aliens are alien but oddly approachable. Other works by Vinge: Marooned in Realtime embeds the (possible) end of history known as the Singularity in a detective story (or the other way around); Rainbows End examines the near-future implications of an internetworked world.
- Fountains of Paradise (Arthur C. Clarke)
- This book is carefully crafted by a masterful writer. It's a plausible, non-confrontational reminder of how engineering developments (and choices) quietly change the course of history. The particular technology envisioned is probably less than 20 years away (as of 2010). Another recommendation: Songs of Distant Earth (in what sense might we have an interstellar civilization if we're stuck with slower-than-light travel?).
- Schismatrix Plus (Bruce Sterling)
- This book contains medium-length, approachable stories exploring what it means to be human when humanity has, and uses, the power to reshape our species.
- Ophiuchi Hotline (John Varley)
- What should we do if we don't matter? What could we do if if immensely powerful, totally inscrutable aliens invaded our solar system and threw us permanently off of Earth, leaving us to eke out an existence on the least-desirable real estate in the solar system? Actually, we could probably live interesting, fruitful lives--even if they would be odd from the perspective of present-day humans. What kind of lives should we try to lead? Varley has written a bunch of books in this universe. My second favorite (I think it's a better book but should be read after Ophiuchi Hotline) is Steel Beach.
- Becoming Alien (Rebecca Ore)
- There's an old joke about a final exam in Philosophy: there is just one question, which is "Define 'Universe'. Give two examples". Rebecca Ore, who I believe deserves greater recognition, examines who we are by comparing us to what we aren't. If you like this book, there are two sequels which I think are worthwhile.
- Four Ways to Forgiveness (Ursula K. LeGuin)
- Ursula LeGuin is a powerful and highly skilled writer. This book contains four stories about freedom, bravery, and responsibility. Science Fiction allows the author to set the stage as she wishes; in her universe (as in ours!), technology makes different futures possible, but what determines humanity's fate is the choices we make.
Back when my library had a Science Fiction section, people could drop by to study the future. I don't believe the future has been canceled; if Vernor Vinge (among others) is right, we have more choices, and less time to make each one, than those who came before us. I think we'd be better off if our future histories were collected and displayed for review on a single shelf. Otherwise I won't be browsing my library's SF collection, and I don't think anybody else will, either.

Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
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.
This my first build. this is my Pantheon build *opening music* >.<
I believe his one of the best assassins.
His heartseeker can take out any one with ease.
His ulti is awesome for ganks or just for the fun of tele :D
@ Lvl 3 he can be a very powerful early gamer.
No escape mech.
His melee hits dont do jack.
Cooldown dependant.
AND A VERY MANA CONSUMING CHAMP.. early game :D
About the skills.
Aegis Protection
This is the skill that is gonna save you when you towerdive or get into any trouble.. but it only blocks one hit.
Spear Shot
This is the skill that will help you harrass your enemies and finish them off after your W E Q combo
Aegis Of Zeonia
This is your stun and after using it you will get a free aegis so the next attack you will recieve will be blocked.
Heartseeker Strike
This is the mother of all your skills. This skill will rip your enemies to pieces it does a percentage of your physical damage in 5 swift hits.
Grand Skyfall
This is your ganking/tele/quickescape GLOBAL skill it will help you get anywhere on the map after channeling for 1.5 seconds.
Soo. the way i play this champ is .. HARRASS LIKE A NUTCASE with your spear shot. if your lucky and your laning against some squishies with 4 bars of health. i can assure you, you WILL get first blood. so i start off with a meki and 2 hp pots with the meki i can spam the spear shot. but i have to know when to shoot him. cos if shoot him at the wrong time thats the time you are vulnerable and they might jump in for a kill. ( not what you want ).
early game is probably the time when you can get yourself alot of kills. but im not saying after a double kill RUN to mid and try to kill heirm.. NO thats not what i mean. what im trying to say is that after you have a successfull first blood then keep farming at bot/top
IF THIS IS NOT WORKING OUT FOR YOU. then i advise you to farm :s
when you are lvl 6 return to base. and buy your items, if you see a gankable enemy then go for it! remember you have flash and ghost. just make sure you know what you are doing. think, plan it out then STRIKE BAMM BAMM BOOM. The combo for pantheon is W E Q, remember to ping and make sure your allies know that your about to ulti in because if you ulti in without saying anything then thats just no teamwork. And teamwork is a very important aspect in this game.. seriously!
if that worked out for you.. Clapp Clapp Clapp* now you got yourself a kill :D
During mid game DONT play like early game anymore. your enemies have half their core build and your are an assassin. Not a tank you dont have alot of health so be careful of your surroundings just like shaco. So what i tend to do is STUN then run. let the others jump in while the stun is still on THEN you can run back in. Spear and HSS. OR u can wait, for the initiation of the fight ( if it ever happens ) and you do the BS combo. W > E > Q. this will do so much dmg they wont think you are human anymore. i would prefer to wait, but its entirely up to you and the scenario.
I tend to use the ulti to block off my enemies path not to dmg them. cos your ulti is like TF's but its better :P so when you see someone low. near the tower. ULTI HIM,.
but make sure u have a way to escape. >.> you never know who you can find in the jungle.
Get the sword of occult if u are fed. if not get the Brutalizer (think thats.
the 3 B.F swords will make your HSS. like 50 C bullets.
Chalice gives you good MP regen and is pretty good late game. remember if you need more mana regen then just get the golem. but your team's caster/mages would probably want it.
by the time you get your 3 b.f swords the game should be over.
i guess this concludes my Pantheon guide :D TY
and a very special thanks to DEWO he was the one who inspired me to make a guide about the champ that i love to play! :)

Author Starla J. King, who published "Wide Awake. Every Day. Daily Inspiration for Conscious Living" about this time one year ago entered her book into the 22nd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
Although she was not one of the "big" winners, she received a score of 29, out of a possible 30 points, which is considered "outstanding."
(Right now, Amazon is clearing out its warehouse store and offering incredible "fire sale" deals on this book. Check it out; they won't last.)
The categories judged were: Structure, Organization and Pacing; Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar; and Production Quality and Cover Design. It's nice to get
a pat on the back for the careful work that we put into the creation of her book.
Here are a few excerpts from the judge's commentaries.
"I really loved this author's voice … these daily doses of meditative reflections offer sensory/sensitive feedback persuasive to healing and wholeness … I liked King's desire for her readers to be alert and excited by the life around them."
"The formatting is very interesting, alternating between justified and centered. That,
in itself, is a message to the reader. I liked that each day of the year has three reflections … The last is always titled "Bring it to Life!" It offers a suggestion or question that will resonate with readers, and sometimes work as catharsis. King makes very useful suggestions. I liked the cover picture of a flower and the background color blue, conducive to calm."
"The packaging is very professional. The colorful front cover drew my attention immediately. The back cover copy is well written and does a good job of marketing the book to your potential audience. You have some great testimonials that you highlight well. This book should have a wide potential readership, including those interested in inspiration, meditation, self-help, poetry, etc., and it makes a great gift book.
The book is well organized. I particularly appreciated the book's non-denominational spirituality and conversational, non-preachy writing style … I like the blending of short prose and poetry, of advice, questions and inspiration. I like the quotations at the top of each entry.
The formatting of the interior of the book is very effective. Normally I tell writers not to use all caps but the limited use as headings here is well done. Good job with grammar and proofreading. You have an excellent web site and blog that do a great job of cross-promoting your writing portfolio and other activities."
Working with Starla was a real pleasure. AND, right now, Amazon is clearing out its warehouse and offering GREAT deals on this book. Check it out; they won't last.
