Warwick 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.
Okay, so you clicked on this because you are in a ranked match in an ELO bracket of players that are competetent of targeting you the second you ult.
If you agree with DEWO's or other popular guides on mobafire, you are in a low ELO bracket with players that still target the tank over you. Sorry to tell you this, feel FREE to downrate after reading this part.
Core build
Madred's Bloodrazor
Mercury's Treads (Berserker Greaves are low ELO for warwick and you don't want ninja tabi unless the team has NO stuns and very little (1-2) slows
The order doesn't matter a lot. A majority of the time I build the Razors then maybe speed 1 boots or maybe Razor and Crossbow and then boots. It's all situational.
^ That's it. Even the GA is situational.
Now for the possible items..
Guardian Angel - this item is your third item most of the time. One exception is if there is a fed AP at which you'd want something like a Banshee's Veil.
Banshee's Veil - usually this is your fourth item, unless there are no threatening AP or no threatening spells you would need to block (which is rare.)
Sunfire Cape - used if you need health and are dying constantly to an AD source.
Spirit Visage - this item is great if you are feeling low on health and need some added MR. Not to mention you also get some CDR.
Force of Nature - you probably only want this if you have Banshee's Veil, Spirit Visage, and Guardian Angel. But honestly, if you're being killed by an AP carry so much that you need this you're either facing a fed Vlad or you aren't ulting the right person.
Thornmail - if you have a nice health pool (1 or 2 Sunfire Capes for instance, if you're facing a team being hugely carried by someone like trist or other ranged DPS that uses lots of auto attacks) and you are constantly being targeted by the auto attacking ranged DPS then you should buy this mainly to make them choose another target but also to punish them if they continue to attack you.
Randuin's Omen - armor, health, and the slow make this a great item if there at lots of melee DPS or ranged DPS that loves to be in melee range (common). This item can be a real gamebreaker if you use it right after you ult, since you could easily be right in the middle of them by the time it's over.
This will be short. I personally like the red elixir because it adds to my large health pool and makes my ult stronger. A LOT of others like to use green, but it isn't my style if I'm buying one of them. I actually usually buy 2 if I have a spare 600g (red and green.) Unless you're magewick you shouldn't get blue until you're at the point where you have every item and need to waste money.
Items not to buy
Damaging items. Unless you are completely STOMPING the team and they aren't focusing you at all then you should not do this. This makes you an easy target to dying, since you're melee and your ult makes you extremely vulnerable.
How to use your ult
Click R then click your target. I don't want to tell you how to use it because you have to develop your own style. Your style is different from everyone else's, no matter what the people are saying you should do. You learn from trial and error -- not from me giving you a 10 step guide.
Closing notes
I am expecting the people telling me that this guide is dumb, "ww is melee DPS duh why would I build tank that's just dumb." For this reason, I will explain why you need to build tank to thrive as warwick. Similar to garen, your damage is strong (not strong enough that you don't have to buy a Bloodrazor, but strong enough that you don't have to spend all of your item slots of damage.) Second, you WILL die a LOT in any decent ELO if you do not build tank. You are similar to evelynn - you come out of stealth (or ult in in this case) and you die immediately. If you build tank then you will be able to survive their burst while taking out one squishy of their team and also your carries will be doing serious damage while you are distracting.
If you have any questions or suggestions don't be afraid to comment, I will try my best to answer. It doesn't matter to me if you downrate this guide, because I'm not doing it for rating, rather for helping the mobafire community.

Geo Social
Discover and share content with others nearby
Next2 automatically connects people together around place and common topics of interest. Signal what you have, want or would like to discuss and Next2 software automatically exchanges your message with others nearby that share your common interest or concerns. You may post a message for exchange by SMS, or by logging in to Next2 or if you are in Kenya use our free Mobile Application.
Introduction1When you post a message the software looks for a match based on common location, overlap of sharing circle and use of keywords. When a match is found the messages are automatically exchanged between users. You receive their message and they receive yours — irrespective of how the message was created –mobile web, SMS or using Next2′s mobile application.
When you choose to post a public message it appears at your Next2 web page. Public messages are also organized by location and topic at the Next2 web site. Or choose to exchange private messages with other users that never appear online and are only exchanged with other private messages.
Message Match Technology
2In addition to common location and overlap of sharing circle(s), Next2 uses a dual-keyword matching system to determine which messages are exchanged between users. First determine whether your want to post a public message or private message. Then signal the "intent" of the post by using one of our three "purpose" words. Current purpose words are have, want or discuss. The purpose word is then followed by a topic keyword or phrase. Next2 then uses the type of post (public or private) the purpose word (have, want or discuss) and a match on the topic keyword or phrase to determine which messages are exchanged between which users.
When using the mobile web a user fills out a form by selecting the purpose word from a list and entering their keyword or phrase and then their message. The same is true when using Next2′s mobile application. SMS users format their text messages by entering the pulbic or private post command (addp or addpp) at the beginning of their text message, followed by a purpose word, followed by their topic keyword or phrase and then the content of their message.
Near-Time Processing
3Approximately at the start of each hour Next2 gathers all new messages for processing and exchange. The software determines which messages match and automatically exchanges them between users. If no match is found the message is processed again for a match for a period of two weeks. After two weeks if no match is found the message is no longer included in new message processing.
Our use of your Next2 identity in messaging ensures the privacy of your mobile phone number or your email address.
Screen shots shown are: 1) private post from mobile web, 2) private post from mobile application on phone and 3) browsing topics by subject. Not shown is posting for message exchange by SMS.

As police searched for an escaped robber in Arlington Heights today, dozens of people gathered throughout the afternoon across from the Ashton Condominiums development near Falcon and Tonne Dr.
Some, like Carmela Garcia, 24, a college student and cook at a nearby Mexican restaurant, live in the complex and were stunned to come home and find that their neighborhood had turned into something akin to a TV drama.
Garcia had heard at work that police were hunting an escapee in the area.
"I didn't think it was going to be right in front of my house," Garcia said.
When she tried to approach her building on her bike, a police officer waved her away. "He said, 'Get the hell out of here. Do you want to get shot?'" she said.

G-Cloud open for business
The Cabinet Office has announced that the government's G-Cloud online appstore, Cloudstore, is open for business.
Some 257 suppliers have been named as suppliers in the framework, including larger companies such as BT, CSC, Computacenter, EMC, Microsoft and Logica.
According to analyst TechMarketView, around half of the suppliers on the framework are SMEs, and include cloud computing hosting provider ElasticHosts, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider HTK, enterprise cloud control provider CohesiveFT and cloud consultants ZumZum, have also been named on the contract.
The Cloudstore - built by UK SME SolidSoft on Microsoft Windows Azure - will enable public sector organisations to purchase off-the-shelf IT services on a pay-as-you-go basis. As part of the government's transparency agenda, and to encourage competition, the service details and pricing information are open to all on CloudStore, and contracts for services should be no longer than one year.
The government anticipates the G-Cloud framework will transform the way that the public sector procures ICT services.
Francis Maude, Cabinet Office minister, said: "Purchasing services from Cloudstore will be quicker, easier, cheaper and more transparent for the public sector and suppliers alike."
Maude added that the CloudStore also offers SME suppliers the same opportunities as larger organisations. The government recently revealed that just 12 percent of government contracts are awarded to SMEs, which is some way off its target of giving smaller suppliers 25 percent of business.
This has been welcomed by SMEs. Justin Bowser, managing director of HTK, described the CloudStore as a "game changer".
"Lots of SMEs struggle [to work with government] because the actual and perceived barriers to entry have been very high. There has been an attitude in government - not everywhere - that SMEs are going to be difficult to deal with or that they will not deliver.
"G-Cloud is a real game changer. It is on one side a very tangible, visible demonstration of the way government want sot change the way it procures. From a procurer point of view, it doesn't give them an excuse not to look at SMEs, because it is such a high profile demonstration. I don't think SMEs can be ignored anymore," said Bowser, who sits on the government's SME panel looking at how to help new suppliers into government.
Richard Davies, CEO of ElasticHosts, added: "As a UK vendor delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), we are expecting a great deal of interest. Everyone from local authorities to healthcare strusts are finding that their IT infrastructures are creaking and in desperate need of refresh, yet they don't have the capital budgets to do so. Services available through the catalogue will ease this, as no cap-ex [capital expenditure] is required and deployment costs are eradicated."

Who Invented the Telephone?With the passing of the years, developments and inventions in the electrical field succeeded each other in increasing tempo. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922) developed the telephone. The sound to be transmitted via the telephone line was picked up by a funnel-shaped horn. The horn was terminated by a thin metal diaphragm immediately behind which was a small coil wound on a bar magnet. When sound entered the horn, the diaphragm vibrated and thereby varied the distance between the diaphragm and the coil. This caused a voltage to be generated in the coil that alternated in rhythm with the sound signal. When two such devices were linked by a long wire, the speaker at one end could bring the diaphragm at the other end into vibration. The same device was thus used for speaking and listening by alternately bringing it in front of the mouth and against the ear. This setup was improved fairly quickly and provided, among others, with a different kind of earpiece. Within a few years – in 1878 – the first public telephone network was opened in the United States. Within a year after the introduction of the telephone, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) had devised a contraption that consisted of a wooden cylinder around which was wound a sheet of tinfoil, an arm that enabled a needle to be brought into contact with the tinfoil, and a crank to rotate the cylinder. Edison set the needle in contacts with the tinfoil, rotated the cylinder with the aid of the crank, and into a horn-shaped mouthpiece attached to the needle he sang (or shouted): "Mary had a little lamb …". When he turned the cylinder again, the horn of the instrument produced a recognizable reproduction of his voice. Thus was born the phonograph or, as it is better known in Europe, the gramophone. Although the reproduction was not of very good quality, the principle had been established. Ten years later, Emile Berliner (1851–1929), another American inventor, produced an improved version of the phonograph, which he called 'gramophone'. In contrast to Edison's instrument, which used a variable-resistance transmitter, that of Berliner used a flat disk instead of a rotating cylinder. The flat disk is, of course, the forerunner of the modern gramophone record. In the Berliner system, the grooves on the disk are modulated laterally, whereas those on the Edison cylinder are amplitude-modulated. In 1879, in America, Edison, and in England, the British physicist and chemist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828–1914) simultaneously introduced the first practical incandescent lamp. It was, perhaps,not so much the improvement of the filament that made the incandescent lamp a success as the evacuation of the bulb (in which Swan was aided by Charles Stearn, an expert in the production of high vacua). Edison and his team perfected the filament: after examination of thousands of alternatives, they devised the cotton-thread filament which, when joined with the bulb patents of Swan and Stearn, made the Edison lamp a commercial success. In 1890, a young Dutch mechanical engineer, Gerard Philips (1858–1942), decided to set up his own company to produce incandescent lamps. This resulted in 1891 in the Philips Gloeilampenfabriek in Eindhoven, which soon became famous all over the world and is still an important multinational company today.

A new member recently joined the Japanese band AKB48. Pop blogs and a magazine cover story introduced Eguchi Aimi as a sweet 16-year-old from a Tokyo suburb. But there was something strange about this new girl.
After a few weeks, AKB48 admitted that Aimi was computer-generated. They took the nose, eyebrows, hair, and lips of six band mates and digitally stitched them into a new singer.
This avatar may be the first computerized starlet to temporarily pass as a human. The first video shows Aimi in action and the second explains how they created "her."

Anniversary of the National Labor Relations Act
By Duane Campbell
In celebration of July 4 Independence Day, we post this history of the National Labor Relations Act- an act that created much of our present union collective bargaining processes.
On Bloody Thursday, July 5, 1934, police attacked striking Longshoremen in San Francisco, killing 2, wounding 32 more.
President Roosevelt faced pressure from striking workers, socialist groups, unemployed workers, emerging unions, African-American workers, southern tenant farmers, veterans and others. This pressure created the political climate for the passage of the NLRA.
On July 5, 1935 President Franklin Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act ( The Wagner Act) establishing rules for the organization of labor unions in the U.S.:

360. You no doubt read the report of the proceedings
that took place prior to Christmas where the BAA suggested that
there was some £10 million additional costs towards security.
As someone who travels in the airlines, I do not see that at all,
I do not see any improvement at all. Has the Government done an
audit on that figure and is it willing at any point to pay out
any form of compensation?
(Mr Jamieson) Are you saying that BAA said £10
361. £10 million additional cost on security.
(Mr Jamieson) Our role in government is to make sure
that the security and safety issues are being met and we in the
Department have inspectors that go out and check that security
is at the levels we want.
362. How recently has that happened? Are they
still doing it? Will you give us a note on that?
(Mr Jamieson) I can say that it is very regularly.
363. I am sure. We are not criticising you,
we just want an up-to-date account of how often recently.
(Mr Jamieson) One figure I happen to hold in my head
is that there have been 50 visits to Manchester Airport, to give
you just one example of the level of checking that there is.
364. Thank you, but I still need a detailed
(Mr Jamieson) Yes indeed.
365. I do not know what the note will contain
but what I would want it to contain is whether the Government
are of a mind, if the figures that BAA have given us of £10
million for the period up to the end of March 2002 is proved to
be right, to give some grant to BAA for the additional costs of
security, which is not of their making but the Government's making?
(Mr Jamieson) The proposal we have at the moment for
£40 million extra assistance to the airlines covers insurance
and it covers the issues I talked about earlier. At the moment
we have no plans to make any extra funding for security available
to airports. This is a difficult issue, but we see this in terms
of the airlines. It is a compensation issue specifically for the
four days. The difficulty would be if we had some on-going commitment
to security to the airports. This could be seen then as a subsidy
issue rather than compensation, and it would also be, of course,
subject to discussions within the European Union on state aid
rules. At the moment, it is our feeling still very strongly that
security and the cost of security at the airports should be met
by the consumer and ultimately the person who pays for the cargo
or pays for the ticket.
Mr Donohoe: One final question to Mr Griffins,
and you can answer it as well, Minister, if you want, going back
to an earlier point: do you not think it is long overdue that
these negotiations are taken away from the United Kingdom Government
and given to the European Parliament to determine and to negotiate,
given that it is, after all, a pan-European negotiation that would
be more likely to bring about success?
366. We know how helpful and how well-equipped
and how expert they are for doing all the negotiations for all
of the bilaterals throughout the whole of the European Union.
(Mr Griffins) In due course they may well be just
Chairman: Thank you very much, that is as far
as we are going down that road. Miss McIntosh?
367. Staying with the negotiations, Mr Griffins,
you did say that it is possible that negotiations will be concluded
within the next two months. You then went on to say in reply to
Mr Stevenson's question that it would be very nice if they achieved
agreement on opening up America on cabotage, wet leasing and foreign
ownership. My first question to Mr Griffins is are you actively
negotiating the open skies within that two month time framework
on those three issues of cabotage, wet leasing and foreign ownership?
(Mr Griffins) The answer to that is no because I do
not believe that is achievable within the next two months.
368. I am assuming that he may like to reconsider
then the answer he gave Mr Stevenson where clearly you were specifically
asked, Mr Griffins, when the negotiations might be concluded and
you said, yes, before the initial opinion presumably of the Advocate
General of the European Court of Justice. You then went on to
say to Mr Stevenson that, yes, it would be nice if we achieved
agreement on open skies, cabotage, wet leasing and foreign ownership.
Can I confirm that you are not actively including this as part
of the present active negotiations?
(Mr Griffins) I think yes we can and if I can correct
what I must have said wrongly, I did not intend to say that we
were negotiating for what I termed Nirvana, which was full access
to the US market with the hope of achieving that in the next few
months. I did say yes to the question that there was a possibility
of our concluding an agreement and that agreement would be based
on the pragmatic approach which I believe was broadly endorsed
by the Committee last time we presented it to them, which was
achieving that through a system of alliances, but alliances which
were acceptable to the competition authorities as a first step.
369. Also, you did say earlier that you are
not a competition authority and not responsible for that. Can
I ask Mr Griffins further, when he prepares his written note to
this Committee, is he aware that British Airways told us at our
last evidence session that in September their cargo measured in
cargo tonne kilometres fell by 38 per cent in September alone
and in October it fell by 23.8 per cent, were you aware of that?
(Mr Griffins) The answer is yes, but merely as figures
because I read the transcript of that last hearing.
Miss McIntosh: My final question is to Mr Jamieson.
The CAA have called for primary legislation. The Air Travel Trust
Fund, which was set up in 1975, is now in debt and primary legislation
is required to provide the powers to impose a levy to recoup the
cost of a fund for holiday makers. The CAA have said in written
evidence that they expect an increase in the number of collapses
of companies, possibly including larger companies. Will you give
an undertaking to this Committee today that you will make parliamentary
time available to bring such primary legislation before this House
before the summer session this year?
370. I do not actually think that is accurate.
The ATOL schemes are already set up. The existing machinery is
there. I do not want to spend a lot of time going over the set
of circumstances. If there is any alteration in the existing machinery,
certainly in the existing legislation, will you give us some information
on that? In fact, if you check, I think you will find primary
legislation is not required and is already in existence.
(Mr Jamieson) I think the simple answer is the answer
I gave earlier that if there were catastrophic collapses then
we would obviously have to act proportionately and appropriately
and time would have to be made available.
371. Would you seek to recover that through
a levy?
(Mr Jamieson) That would be one option.
372. An Aviation White Paper this autumn?
(Mr Jamieson) Sorry, I did not hear that.
373. You promised us an Aviation White Paper,
Mr Bennett wants to know when we are going to get it?
(Mr Jamieson) It will be produced in the autumn.
374. It is still on course?
(Mr Jamieson) Yes, indeed. We are totally committed
to that and we are still very much on course.
375. What about all those jobs in the UK which
are associated with the airline industry, particularly in the
air frames, those sorts of things, the skills, is the Government
doing anything to protect those skills within the country?
(Mr Jamieson) This is a difficult area, Chairman.
As I talked about earlier, it is very difficult for us to take
action that is going to interfere artificially with the market.
All throughout the airline industry from the people who are actually
operating the airlines right down to the people who are making
the meals and the sandwiches that go on the aeroplanes, all of
these people have been hit in some sort of way and that is very
much regretted. What I can say to Mr Bennett is this: some of
those jobs that have been lost, and very regrettablyfortunately
we are in a position where our economy is doing well, it is still
buoyant and doing well in comparison to many other countries which
have been affected by September 11thmany of the jobs, not
all, have gone in areas of very high employment in the South East.
376. I understand that. There is a particular
problem, is there not, about the time it takes to train the people
to do aircraft maintenance and to do some of the air frame manufacture.
Now that skill base is getting substantially reduced in this country,
are you not alarmed at the contraction of that skill base?
(Mr Jamieson) I think if it contracted
very substantially, and we felt that was a risk to impeding future
growth and recovery, then I think it would be appropriate for
us to take action. Those very skilled people, we are not aware
of those people being laid off in large numbers. Sadly I think
a lot of the people who have lost their jobs in these circumstances
are often people with low skills and some of those people who
do the low paid, low skill jobs, it is those largely, I am afraid,
who have suffered in the present circumstances.
377. The use it or lose it rule is a very important
one. What is the Government's attitude towards that?
(Mr Jamieson) We are working with the European Union
on this issue, Chairman. At the moment the summer slots for this
year will be protected for next year and we are anticipating that
there will be a decision that the winter slots will be protected
again for next year. This will be very much an interim measure
and it would be a measure that would, if you like, react to the
present circumstances but it is not something, I think, we would
see going on a long term basis.
378. Minister, you may say that if in fact this
is frozen this will give an unfair advantage to some airlines?
(Mr Jamieson) That is a matter we will have to consider,
it is a matter we are carefully balancing because, equally, some
of the airlines will recover very rapidly, they will get their
traffic back next year we hope, but it is an area where we have
a very, very careful balance and obviously it is something which
we have had to give very careful consideration to.
Chairman: Minister, you are very kind and I
think you have been saved by the bell. Thank you very much.

Chris Peach, our media friendly Head of Packaging & Design features in a recent article in Packaging Today about the importance of pack design in the convenience foods sector.
The article opens with the thought that as convenience continues to be a core driver across the food sector, brand-owners must choose from the innumerable options delivered by packaging design, form factors and material science in order to keep people buying.
Chris weighs in to the debate:
"When buying many food products consumers want to see what they buy, whether it be a sandwich, ready meal, a portion of fish or a chicken breast. A window or transparent lid gives consumers reassurance that the product they are choosing is able to meet their needs exactly, but the manufacturers also need to take into account the size and positioning of the window to ensure it portrays their product in the best way possible".
Commenting about shelf life, he adds:
"If and when new technology becomes available to extend shelf life, the question must be 'at what cost'? Extending the shelf life of a product that people expect to consume on the same day isn't a genuine consumer benefit. The manufacturer would therefore be unable to justify passing on any additional cost to the customer, and would need to absorb the extra outlay itself".
On clever packaging design & new convenience eating occasions:
"Increasingly 'on the go' is not just about lunch, but breakfast too. Quaker and Kellogg are two brands that have used packaging to support product innovations and broaden usage from the breakfast table to something that can be consumed on the go, thus maintaining relevance in the face of shifting eating habits.
"Robinsons' Squash'd is a fantastic example of a brand using packaging innovation to exploit new usage occasions and extend the brand from one traditionally consumed in the home to one that can be used anywhere."

Franklin: The Lost State of America
The strange but true story of the State of Franklin, and the events that led to its creation. It is quite a strange (some might say tall) tale that arose from the ashes of the American Revolutionary War:
In August 1784 delegates from three of the eight western counties of North Carolina met in the town of Jonesborough. There was a vote and on the 23rd of the month they declared the lands independent. The state of Franklin was born.
Opposition was immediate - North Carolina published a manifesto condemining the formation of the new state (see above). In fact it brought about the first political pamphlet war for that part of America.

Chalet 'Fleur d'Aulps' is a beautiful traditional alpine farmhouse dating from 1796. The building was converted to a ski chalet with care and respect for its history, and has recently undergone a luxurious renovation.
The Chalet has 6 well-appointed bedrooms with beautifully equipped ensuites. The two Suite style Master bedrooms both have Baths and Showers. Master bedrooms also have televisions.
Downstairs there is a fabulous open plan living area now featuring a central open fire and snug area to sit and read or play chess! Two 3 metre windows create a picture onto the forest opposite the house giving a real feel of bringing the outside in. The trees are back lit by a flood light which creates a fabulous view at night.
The cosy kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a self- catered holiday with all new modern appliances and the main feature of an Aga (3 ovens). (Catering can also be arranged if desired.) The large table easily seats 12 people. It is equipped with a dishwasher and a large refrigerator. There is also a Laundry/Store room with washing machine and tumble dryer, additional fridge and lots of storage space.
There is a spacious sauna room which features another bathroom with both bath tub and shower and there is a downstairs toilet for your convenience. There is lots of ski and boot storage in the hallway upstairs and a further hallway downstairs.
Outside there is a large south-facing terrace of nearly 300 sq.m. with a large stone fire pit, hot tub, and spectacular views of the valley and mountains. Wifi, satellite TV (English and French), and DVD are available. Parking site for 6+ cars outside the chalet. The chalet is secluded and near a river which can be heard when the windows are open. Access in winter may require snow tyres, 4x4 or chains. Although close to town and skiing, the chalet is wonderfully secluded. A truly beautiful Chalet to have the perfect vacation.
More info: by request
Great to get away early in the year and was not disappointed with the apartment or the complex. Altinkum has got everything would want for your holiday and everybody is so friendly and helpful.
The apartment has got everything in it and is modern and spacious,we are looking at going again later in the year.
The chalet is just perfect. We had two families, 4 adults and 5 teenagers. Spacious and amazingly kitted out. Hot tub, fire pit, comfy beds! Perfect for access to the slopes. Loved it.
Beautiful property! Luxurious beds, all bedrooms with ensuites and towel warmers. Spectacular mountain views in secluded corner of the village.
We were 4 couples in mid 20s and we absolutely loved the chalet! It has an amazing kitchen, every bedroom is ensuite and the sauna & jacuzzi were perfect for apres ski. The location is also amazing, in the middle of portes du soleil, close to many ski lifts by car. Recommended!
We had a great holiday in the chalet. It was well equipped, comfortable and well appointed with en suite bathrooms to each bedroom. The hot tub was warm and delightful and we spent many evenings admiring the night skies and forest canopy. A great choice for families and groups.
The property is located at the end of a farm track, with an outlook over a forrest leading down to the river below. All the bedrooms and public areas were nicely decorated to a very high standard. The kitchen had everything you could have asked for and more. The deck area is fantastic and includes outdoor tables, seating, deck chairs, Jacuzzi and BBQ area.
The St Jean lift station is a 3 or 4 minute drive up the hill (open on a Thursday in the summer) and the town is a similar distance down the hill. Morzine is approx 12 minutes away by car. The town has two boulangerie's a mini market and just outside of town you will find the main supermarket.
So much so see and do in the area during the summer and all very accessible from the Chalet. Highly recommended.
Chalet Fleur is a stunning well equipped chalet in a private, peaceful and beautiful location.
This was our second visit and the recent modifications are a lovely addition - with floodlit views to the forest.
Another fantastic week exploring the area on foot, bike and raft - we look forward to next summer!
Chalet Fleur is situated in St. Jean d'Aulps which is just a 10 minute drive to Montriond from where you can access the whole of The Porte Du Soliel Ski Area. You ascend into Avoriaz and ski over into Switzerland! A further 5 Minutes by car takes you into Morzine and the popular ski Village with all its attractions and the Ski Areas of Morzine, Les Gets. On your door step of the chalet (500 meters) is also the smaller ski area of La Grande Terche, ideal for beginners, however it also has many red runs and the Roc Enfore Curcuit for more intermediate skiers, and a great Apres Ski scene with lots of little restaurants. Fantastic place to access the many ski areas the area has to offer. In the Summer the area turns into Europes best Mountain Biking region. Contact us about our Summer programmes. Yoga, interval training programmes, Hiking, Mountain Biking are just some of the many activities. Explore the whole area taking in Evian, Thonon, Les Bains, and Geneva.

About. Damn. Time!
After what's felt like the longest dramatic foreplay since Sam and Diane (if you don't get that, Google them), Gossip Girl's Blair and Dan finally got it on last night. And although good flings didn't come to those who waited at first, the couple some 'shippers have been praying for since their first foreign-film convo were able to give the good stuff a second (and third) shot with major success.
So yay, right? After all, Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester are fabulous together and the writers clearly have a blast scripting their pseudo hipster-meets-scandalized heiress exchanges. Our only issue with the whole situation is that we have waited forever...couldn't they come up with a more rewarding payoff than a botched hotel tryst followed by a pair of sloppy, drunken and public hookups? These two deserved a grand gesture, a gauzy, romantic "moment." Not elevators and alleyways.
Oh well, maybe next time. And considering that Dair can barely keep their hands off each other now, you just know there will be a next time. But will you be rooting for them? Or is this partnership not your 'ship?

For many users of Xbox Live, paying for additional content on top of the monthly fee was an immediate turn-off. With time, the map packs released by Bungie were made free of charge to those who still had not purchased them. On August 30th, the same thing will occur with the Halo 2 "Maptacular†pack, which features the five new maps, but is it really worth the wait? What would compel Halo fans to purchase a disk of nine maps, when four are already free and the five others will be as well in a matter of weeks? Bungie asked themselves the same question, and to maximize the value of the Multiplayer Map Pack, they've tossed in a little extra content that truly makes it worthwhile.
Loading up the disk, players will be greeted to a menu offering three choices:
- Another Day at the Beach chronicles the story of the Marine unit whose Pelican crashed in Old Mombasa in the Halo 2 single-player campaign.
- Halo 2 Killtacular is a behind-the-scenes look at the game's new maps from members of Bungie's staff.
Alongside the map packs in the Multiplayer Expansion submenu, players will find a critical update for Halo 2, which must be installed for the new maps to function. The patch addresses practically every known issue with the game such as the rampant cheating, tweaks to the weapon damage and grenades, and a variety of other bugs that players have reported.
The maps are a wonder in themselves as well, since Bungie had a considerable amount of time to devote to designing these new maps without having to worry about a storyline for single player, which was the case when Halo 2 shipped. The new maps are much more impressive, both visually and architecturally. From an auditory standpoint, all the maps feature a 5.1 surround sound track for the highest quality aural experience. Many of the locations are heavily inspired from previous environments in the original Halo or from the Halo 2 solo campaign. For example, Warlock, a 4-way indoor, symmetrical map, is highly reminiscent of the map entitled Wizard from the first installment of Halo. Although some minor additions can be found throughout the mysterious locale, the geometry is very much the same even though the visuals have been spruced up to take full advantage of the new graphical engine; veterans will feel right at home.
Killtacular Map Pack
Featuring both the Turf and Sanctuary maps, this pack was originally released to coincide with the Bonus Map Pack, which was released free of charge while Killtacular sported a price tag of $5.99 for a certain period of time.
Bonus Map Pack
Thanks to the folks at Mountain Dew, this pack was released free of charge and sports two of the best maps in the game. Warlock, a claustrophobic and mysterious temple is host to some of the most brutal close quarter battles, but pales in comparison to the sheer size of Containment. Featuring the biggest multiplayer map in Halo 2, long distance sniping and vehicular combat take precedent and provide an exhilarating experience when playing on a 16-man server.
Maptacular Map Pack
Available on Xbox Live since July 5th for $11.99, these five maps will become free of charge on August 30th. The pack contains Gemini, Backwash, Relic, Elongation and Terminal, all of which provide a refreshing experience for multiplayer fans and are definitely worth the price tag for those who are still uncertain.
Included with all of the maps are two interesting videos that Bungie saw fit to include in order to make players feel the worth of their purchase. The first is Another Day at the Beach, which I briefly mentioned above when describing the content of the disk. The pre-rendered video provides an interesting view at the events that occurred on Old Mombasa from the point-of-view of others aside from Master Chief. If you recall during the single-player campaign, players were tasked with linking up with a unit of Marines who crash-landed on the hostile planet after taking too much enemy fire. The brief movie chronicles their efforts to regroup and stay alive behind enemy lines.
The second video, Halo 2 Killtacular, is a surprisingly lengthy film that provides a behind-the-scenes interview with those at Bungie Studios who are responsible for the disk. Each of the nine maps is analyzed in-depth by the staff, and viewers are shown the amount of effort these guys put into developing the maps and the rest of the content that can be found on the DVD. Everything that inspired the creation and design of the environments is explained, and this feature simply adds to the overall value that any hardcore fan will appreciate.
If all of this isn't enough, there are even a few extras thrown into a submenu for your viewing pleasure. With the help of a tiny Grunt and a ferocious Hunter, an audio test will help you to verify if your surround setup is properly configured. The first Halo 2 trailer ever released has also found its way onto the disk, along with the video used by Microsoft to demonstrate the original Halo at E3 in 2000.
The bottom line is that the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack is the perfect add-on for multiplayer Halo 2 fans. The nine maps and the critical update provide a refreshing experience and complement the game's online aspect perfectly. With the additional content thrown in, it almost feels like robbery not to purchase the DVD for its already low price, considering the five maps on Xbox Live cost $11.99, while this disk will cost $20 at most. The behind-the-scenes featurette also shows players how devoted Bungie is to making Halo 2 the ultimate experience possible, and by supporting them, it can only get better with time.

How to Benefit From Compound Interest
Einstein is frequently misquoted as expressing "The most strong force in the universe is compound desire". Einstein may possibly not have really said this but he was well mindful of the advantages. When it comes to successful lengthy-time period investing, compound desire is perhaps the most essential concept you have to have to recognize. Compound desire is when you gain desire on top rated of desire. For instance if you invest $1,000 in an account with an average yearly desire amount of 10%. Right after just one […]More info

Young boy's OCD 'nightmare' linked to strep infection
Medical docs miss little-known diagnosis of boy's sudden-onset psychiatric disorder
The parents of a West Quebec boy who spent two years in a medical "nightmare" are urging Canadian doctors to follow the U.S. lead by taking a closer look at a psychiatric disorder in children that's caused by a bacterial infection.
Suzy Wiggins Fournel and Martin Fournel told CBC News their son Caleb, now 8, was diagnosed in the spring with pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections, called PANDAS for short.
He was prescribed antibiotics for one year, and today, Caleb is back climbing trees again at his home in La Pêche, north of Ottawa. He's a far cry from the boy he was prior to his diagnosis, when he could barely leave the house.
At that time he suffered severe anxiety, symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), vertigo, pain in his throat and ears, hallucinations and concentration problems.
His parents said the problems seemed to happen overnight.
We just couldn't believe what was happening to him ... he was a different boy.- Suzy Wiggins Fournel, Caleb's mother
"We just couldn't believe what was happening to him," said Wiggins Fournel.
She said just a few days after a throat infection, he became "a different boy." He walked off the school bus, fell to his knees crying and said he felt sick.
Hospital staff dismissed symptoms
They took him to a hospital in Gatineau, Que., but his parents said medical staff dismissed his symptoms and suggested he was trying to avoid school.
Things got steadily worse.
An independent and outgoing child suddenly didn't want to go outside, became hypersensitive in clothing and complained of pain in his head. Teachers told his mother he began hiding in the bathroom and in his locker. Each doctor they consulted had a different diagnosis; some prescribed anti-psychotic drugs to deal with some of the psychiatric symptoms, such as OCD.
Wiggins Fournel still gets emotional when she remembers Caleb asking her to kill him.
"'I can't live like this,'" she said he would tell her. He was 5½ years old.
The parents sought help from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal and the Montreal Children's Hospital.
But earlier this year, Caleb's parents saw a report on television describing a form of sudden onset psychiatric disorder in children triggered by group A strep infection.
"My wife was watching the report on television and started crying," said Fournel. "All the symptoms described in the program matched what was happening to our son."
They sought help from Dr. Wendy Edwards in Chatham, Ont., one of the few doctors in Canada who recognizes and treats the condition. After a test for strep infection, Edwards prescribed penicillin, and within just a few days, there was a dramatic change in Caleb. According to his parents, most of his symptoms disappeared.
He was diagnosed as having pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections.
The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has published the criteria for diagnosis. The theory is that streptococcus, common in many schoolchildren, triggers for some a neurological reaction with sometimes severe psychiatric symptoms, including OCD.
There is still some debate about the diagnosis, but it is becoming more recognized, with clinical trials for treatment ongoing in the U.S. The Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) does not make any recommendations for doctors about how to treat PANDAS.
'No one in Canada is tracking it."- Kelly O'Donnell, PANDAS Canada
That's a problem, according to Kelly O'Donnell, who founded the advocacy group PANDAS Canada. She said she gets emails each week from families having difficulty finding resources in the Canadian medical community.
"No one in Canada is tracking it and when no one is willing to diagnose it, it's even harder to track," O'Donnell said.
The Stittsville, Ont., mother's own daughter became suddenly ill in 2013 with strange tics and severe OCD-like behaviour, but in this case, an emergency-room doctor at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario had heard of PANDAS and did a throat swab to test for strep antibodies.
Families seek more medical understanding
O'Donnell and her husband didn't understand how there could possibly be a connection to strep, but they were willing to try anything, she said.
When the test came back positive, doctors prescribed her daughter with antibiotics "and 24 hours later, 90 per cent of the symptoms were gone," she said.
There are more than 150 families who have joined an Ontario chapter of the PANDAS support group, she said, and they're asking the CPS to bring the issue out of the closet so frontline clinicians can consider the need for a throat swab test for strep when confronted with the symptoms described by the National Institute of Mental Health.
The Fournels are telling their story hoping for the same goal — they don't want families to suffer or put their children on psychiatric drugs if it's not necessary.

Lady Feng's pop-eye flashed in anger, but the squinty one rolled around to study him.
The crow's-feet at the corners of her eyes fanned out like spiderwebs to veil her entire face, while the curious way that she cocked her head only emphasized the contrast between the pop-eye through which she saw the outer world and the squinty white orb that was usually turned inward to watch the spirit world.
Her pop-eye, however, darted around the room from bauble to bauble, as though checking to be certain that each one remained in its place.
And thinking of skin and bone reminded him of whales and his pop-eye brightened.
