Majestic Mountain Home Montana Rental
Public Service Announcement- Cool Montana house for rent for your next vacation!
Today's post is more public service announcement than anything but it comes from the authenticity of our lifestyle. We talk about getting out there, following your dreams and living a more adventurous lifestyle. Not only do we talk and blog about it but we live it.
So for now and at least the next six months we are on the road, once again traveling the world. And I will be blogging from "out here", sharing our experiences, living adventurously.
So, while I have your attention, I thought I'd mention that we have put our house up for rent. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, a fan-tab-ulous getaway, come and stay at chez Kiphart. Our home is in the magnificent Bitterroot Mountains of southwestern Montana. Up on top of a beautiful ridge we have 360 degree views, elk herds in the driveway in the winter, coyotes trotting across the hills, deer perpetually at the doorstep and eagles and kestrels soaring above. It is world's away, yet just 70 miles from Missoula.
Come for a long weekend, a week or a peaceful month up on the mountain. While we are away from it all, we do have the conveniences you'll want including wifi and satellite tv. Often, when people think "Montana" they think wood burning fire and a dirt floor cabin. Not so at our home, think hot tub, gourmet kitchen and overstuffed deck chairs to sit at sunset and enjoy the view.
The Bitterroot Valley is an amazing playground all year around. We have world class white water rafting just south in Salmon, Idaho, blue ribbon trout rivers (remember A River Runs Through It?), and a wilderness area the size of Switzerland to hike, camp and mountain bike. Think of the Grand Tetons but without the crowds or the high prices! In the winter, we have great snowmobiling trails, cross country and downhill skiing or just grab your snowshoes and walk out our front door!
If this interests you, and I can't see why it wouldn't!, check out our rental site at www.vrbo.com/303927 . You can see photos and descriptions of all the amenities. Come on out and sit a spell!!!

What Clients Say
Cabrillo Advisors assisted us with a unique project prior to a formal round of financing; they were a helpful resource for an advisory project. We also use their team for IRC 409a compliance projects and have recommended them to others.
Tom Proulx,Chairman at Netpulse
We were happy to have Cabrillo Advisors as our valuation specialist; their deliverable was well received by the audit firm so the review process went rather smoothly. We look forward to working with Cabrillo Advisors again on upcoming valuation projects.
Jonathan Cook,Controller at Instructure
I have used Cabrillo Advisors pretty much since the beginning and can say that I am delighted with their level of service and analysis.
Patti Pao,Founder & CEO at Restorsea
As OneRoof Energy Group (TSXV:ON) prepared for an initial public offering via reverse merger transaction as part of listing the Company's securities on the TSX Venture Exchange, we engaged Cabrillo Advisors to deliver 409A business enterprise valuations for us. The selection of the appropriate methodologies for the allocation of value, the keen consideration of numerous internal and external factors relating to the Company's business enterprise value, and the insight gained from multiple two-way discussions were all critical elements in the delivery of the excellent service and ultimate product we received from Cabrillo Advisors. Wade Hansen and his team are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of business valuation, financial accounting and valuation analysis and we would not hesitate to retain Cabrillo Advisors in the future.
Dan Halvorson,Executive Vice President & CFO at One Roof Energy
We hired Cabrillo Advisors to assist us with a complex business valuation project. It was very difficult with many issues to be worked through, and required frequent interaction with management, external auditors and our audit committee. We greatly appreciated their professionalism, and found them to be very helpful and constructive.
Greg Tibbitts,CFO at Accriva
Our Company began using Cabrillo Advisors last year to perform 409a work. This year our Company began a process to confidentially file an S-1 registration statement that involved very tight deadlines for producing FMV and Warrant Liability valuations. Not only did Cabrillo Advisors meet the deadlines, but they responded to questions from auditors/others on virtually a 24/7 basis. Senior Cabrillo Principals even participated in calls with Board members and investors to resolve various questions after the project concluded. The Company would be way behind its goals if Cabrillo Advisors were not its partner."
We found the team at Cabrillo Advisors to be very dedicated and responsive to client needs.
VP,Hardware Communications Company
Cabrillo Advisors has been highly collaborative and responsive to the valuation needs of multiple private biotech companies that I have started. They have become one of the 'go to' advisors in this space.
CEO,Serial Biotech Entrepreneur
We have partnered with Cabrillo Advisors on numerous occasions, and are currently using them for a recurring valuation project of a closely-held entity. We have a lot of confidence in their work product and have been pleased with their responsiveness.
President & Managing Partner,Investment Management Team
The Board of Directors meeting was quickly approaching and we needed a service provider that could turn the analysis around quickly. Cabrillo's team was amazing and we were able to present the analysis in the meeting!
Sarah Lerche,CFO
Cabrillo Advisors, have been excellent to work with. They helped conduct a 409A valuation for our company. High quality work, fast, and good team to work with. I'd recommend them.
Dilip Venkatachari,CEO at Compass Labs
I have enjoyed referring many clients to Cabrillo. The feedback I've received from clients is that Cabrillo has been understanding of each company's circumstances and very responsive and easy to work with.
John Robertson,Partner at Cooley LLP
I have worked with Cabrillo Advisors on many transactions and with many clients. In each case, they have provided me with high quality service that is prompt, reliable and cost effective. They take pride in what they do and it shows in their work product.
Curtis Oscarson,Partner at Kunzler Law Group, PC
Cabrillo Advisors provided a thorough financial analysis for Celula. The team is thoughtful, efficient, and responsive.
Andy Katz,VP & Chief Business Officer at Celula, Inc
Wade Hansen and his colleagues at Cabrillo Advisors provided my company Rayspan with expert and high value services in connection with preparing rock solid appraisals of the value of Rayspan's securities. It was a pleasure to work with them.
Franz Birkner,President and CEO at Rayspan Corporation
We used Cabrillo for business valuation services two years in a row. I personally worked both with Wade and his colleagues. I was very impressed with their level of expertise and attention to detail. They were easy to work with and very flexible to accommodate our hectic schedules and requirements. They were always very responsive and I was very happy with their work. Looking forward to working with them again.
Metin Bayram,Director of FEC and High Speed Modems Business Area at TrellisWare Technologies, Inc
Channing came highly recommended as an advisor for specialized transactions. I hired his firm for an complex asset sales process. He was extremely insightful / helpful in packaging the transaction and assisting in the messaging, and sales process. I have and will continue to recommend him to others based on his professionalism, knowledge, and integrity.
Rick Sander,CEO at ISE Corp.
In 2009 I led as the chairman of the board's strategy committee an open strategic evaluation process. We selected Wade and Cabrillo Advisors to advise us as well as manage the process. I was very impressed with the quality and integrity of the work performed by Wade and his team and their ability to partner with me and my management team and act as a sounding board. I expect to work with Wade in the future and strongly recommend Wade to any company wishing to have an advisor facilitate a similar process.
Lyron Bentovim,CEO/CFO at Sunrise Telecom (NASDAQ OTH:SRTI.PK)
We retained Wade to work with the NEON Systems management team to execute an M&A strategy. We had a small team focused on M&A, and Wade was a great partner throughout all stages of the process, including analyzing purchase prices, assessing strategy fit, due diligence and helping negotiate key terms. We developed a great working relationship and successfully executed on several transactions on both the buy and side sell.
Brian Helman,Neon
Wade and his company did an excellent job with a 409(a) valuation analysis for one of our portfolio companies. The report was accurate, timely and a good value for our limited budget at the company.
Dan Wood,General Partner at Mesa Verde Venture Partners

We're on vacation.
All 11 of us.
I keep telling all the kids that if I had to choose 10 other people to vacation with, I would pick them over and over again.
Taking a little break from life's everyday tasks and doing nothing, but hanging out and enjoying each other is good for the family. I want my kiddos to grow up having close sibling relationships, remembering that their parents encouraged their friendships with each other, didn't have favorites and taught them the importance of family.
My children aren't forced to be each other's best friends. That wouldn't work anyway. The truth is that they have formed these relationships based on being taught how important they are to each other.

The much ballyhooed matchup between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy at the Turkish Airlines World Golf Finals in Turkey this week ended up being rather disappointing. Woods trounced McIlroy by 6 strokes in the head-to-head competition; Tiger shot a 64 compared to Rory's 70.
The defeat knocks McIlroy out of the tournament and quashes his chance at the winners share ($1.5 million) of the $5.2 million purse. Rory isn't walking away empty handed, however. He will still take home $300,000. At least the young superstar is keeping things in perspective, saying, "I'm not that disappointed because I've got the afternoon off around the pool. I just came here because I have never played in Turkey and there's a lot of good players here, and I thought it would be a fun week and it has been."
When you're the best player in the world, it has to be difficult to stay that grounded. When it all boils down, however, Rory is still a 23 year old who is looking to lead some semblance of a normal life. His version of normal just happens to be jetting around the world, playing in huge golf tournaments and dating Caroline Wozniacki. No big deal.
Woods, on the other hand, will advance in the tournament to face Justin Rose in the semifinals later today. Tiger has been happy with his play since the debacle at the Ryder Cup. "It felt good and I really hit it good out there. My game is starting to turn around a bit and I am beginning to hit it like I did at the start of the year," he said in an interview.
It would have been great to see both Woods and McIlroy at the top of their respective games, battling for the prestige of beating their opponent. Unfortunately, Rory didn't have it on this particular day. We'll still have plenty of opportunities to see these heavyweights duke it out in the upcoming golf season, however.

Published: Sunday 12th October 2014 by The News Editor
Ministers are facing renewed pressure to deport more foreign nationals held in English and Welsh prisons, amid warnings progress has been "painfully slow".
Conservative backbencher Philip Hollobone insisted he believes far more could be done by Whitehall departments to ensure inmates are returned to their home countries to prevent taxpayers paying out hundreds of millions of pounds extra each year.
Mr Hollobone will lead a debate on the issue in Parliament on Wednesday and says he will press the Government for action.
It follows a demand t o speed up the Government's "frustratingly poor" record on removing from the UK foreign criminals by the Commons Public Accounts Committee, which acts as a public spending watchdog, in April.
Kettering MP Mr Hollobone said: "The basic problem is there are far too many foreign national offenders in prison in this country and we need to send them to prison in their own countries so costs of incarceration can be borne by their fellow nationals rather than ourselves.
"There are around 10,000 foreign nationals in prison in the UK out of a total prison population of 80,000, costing us something like north of £300 million a year.
"We should have a series of bilateral agreements so those people can be sent back to prison in their own country, and far greater use of EU-wide agreements – that are already in place but have yet to be ratified – to send EU nationals back to their own countries.
"The situation is better than it was but progress has been painfully slow and I feel the Government could do a lot more.
"There are relatively few British nationals held overseas in prison but there are lots of foreign nationals imprisoned in our country. It's right they have been caught and brought to justice but they should be in prison in their own countries, not in Britain."
He added: "I am sure far more could be done by the Foreign Office, justice department and the Home Office to get people in to prisons in their own country.
"Not enough is being done and it needs a coordinated approach across the Government to tackle this issue.
"Everyone is in agreement that it's a serious issue that costs taxpayers a lot of money."
Murderers and rapists were among 321 UK nationals convicted abroad but returned to English and Welsh prisons to serve the remainder of their sentences, according to figures released in June .
Convicted child sex offenders, fraudsters and a tobacco smuggler were also included in the list of those sent back to Britain from 37 countries around the world between January 2010 and December 2013.
Spain proved to be the destination where the most offenders returned from, with 83 prisoners who were convicted of a range of offences including attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault and rape.
The data highlighted that six people given life sentences were sent back – four for murder from Australia, Germany, USA and Ireland, and two for drug offences from Laos and Vietnam.
The Government noted 19,423 foreign national offenders were removed from the UK in the same period – 2010 to 2013 – for the figures outlining how many UK nationals had returned.

Comment HR is a waste of space (Score 1) 241
I totally agree with some of the people here, HR is definitely a waste of 'resources' as they like to say. I would rather hire a freelance engineer or whatever is the specific field and have him select people, much wiser and more pleasant experience than being 'recruited' by some fat ass wanna be important waste of space.

How to over take a vehicle, how faraway from a stop sign you must park and the dreaded parallel parking are just some of the things that one must learn before venturing onto the road ways. Don't worry though, you will find that experience motorists 'split' from you when they see the 'Student Driver' sign on your car window.

Over all I like it. The leds light the key legends evenly. I've read some complaints about the font used and the layout but I don't spend that much time looking at my keys so not that big of a deal.
The blue light is really nice. It's very bright on it's highest settings and nice and dim on the lowest; perfect for night time use.
I like the double shot keycaps. Not having to worry about the paint rubbing off and the legends becoming obscured is nice.
I'm don't think I like the brown switches as much as I like the blue switches in my Das Keyboard 4, but I believe that is more my expectations based off of what I have read versus the reality of brown switches. I do like them better than cherry mx reds though.
They keyboard is nice and heavy, the feet give it a comfortable angle, and the foot print is the smallest I've ever had in a full size, mechanical keyboard. Typing is very satisfying and I can see this keyboard being on my desk for several years to come. Or at the very least being in my regular rotation of keyboards.
My only real complaint is the cable that comes with the keyboard. My tower sits right next to my rather large desk. This is the ONLY keyboard I have ever owned (I have had this desk for 10 years) with a cable that is too short. Other keyboards I use/used: Logitech G15, Das Keyboard 4 Pro, Kul 87 TKL and IBM Model-M. All of those keyboards cables were more than long enough. Luckily I had a spare cable to plug in. Because of that I would rate it a 4 out of 5.
If this keyboard ever comes in an RGB variant I have no doubt I would add it to my collection. This is a very solid peripheral and one I highly recommend.

I'd like to apologize to any women who might be offended by the following, but heck, you get to see 40 guys every time there's a hockey game, while the only females we see are Mike Milbury and a couple of Toronto Maple leafs.
Wimbledon begins in a few days and I feel I should focus on one of the lesser stars at the tournament. It's always the same players who get the publicity, but there are many others who make the sport of womens' tennis what it is. Hot.
So, today I'd like to introduce you to a 2011 Wimbledon hopeful, 5'5″ Romanian Simona Halep, rated number three in her homeland but number one in the hearts of men everywhere.
Go Simona.

EmersonThoreau Essay Research Paper Emerson and ThoreauEveryone
Emerson-Thoreau Essay, Research Paper
Emerson and ThoreauEveryone in the world is an individual. We have the right to be who we are and to live each day to the fullest. Ralph Waldo Emerson discusses individuality in his essay from "Self-Reliance." He has many ideas in his essay, mostly to be individuals and to not waste time conforming to society. Emerson also suggests not wasting time conforming to society. Emerson also suggests not wasting time out of your everyday life doing things you don t want to do; things you do just because everyone else does them. Henry David Thoreau, a disciple of Emerson, says in his essay from "Where I Lived and What I Lived For," incorporates ideas from Emerson. Thoreau takes Emerson s individuality and molds it into a life, living in the woods away from society, so that he can become his own person. He takes some of Emerson s ideas of individuality and living each day to the fullest and expands them. Emerson s continual emphasis of individualism is the main theme of his essay. He doesn t want people to conform to society. He wants people to be individuals and to live their own lives. Once you act like an individual, people we see that you are your own person. "Speak your latent conviction and it shall be the universal sense" (234), which means say what you want about something, if that s how you feel. People will see from observation that acting on your feelings isn t a bad thing at times. Emerson wants people to believe in themselves. He says, "Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string" (234). We must accept where we are placed in the world. We must accept what God has 2given us and all that we are dealt. "Accept the place the divine Providence has found for you" (234). "And we are now men and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny" (234). Accept everything into the highest standard because those were the cards dealt to you. Another idea brought to us by Emerson is that self-reliance is a deviation from conforming to society. Self-reliance is about your values and who you are individually. "Absolve you to yourself and you shall have the suffrage of the world" (234). When you get to know yourself that is an award in itself. You must know yourself before you act like someone else. Thoreau incorporates the idea of accepting yourself in his essay from Walden. He lives in the woods and learns to accept nature in his surroundings. He realizes that not only are humans important, but every living thing is too. He tries to give meaning to everything of nature that he sees. "It is well to have some water in your neighborhood, to give buoyancy to and float the earth" (240). He has learned to accept himself as well as his surroundings. After accepting them, he gives them life and gives them meaning. By doing this, he is more in-touch with the world and can better appreciate life. Emerson introduces another idea to his readers. When you conform to society or a higher power, you lose who you are. Because you become part of something else, that you might not believe in, you lose your identity little by little. "It loses your time and blurs the impression of your character" (235). Don t waste time doing what society wants you to do. When you contribute to something you don t believe in, you lose who you are. Wasting time doing what society wants you do, only takes away time doing what you want to do. "Else, if you would be a man, speak what you think today in words as hard as
3cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again" (235). You must say things today because there is no time like the present. Thoreau takes Emerson s idea of not wasting time and runs with it. The majority of Thoreau s essay tells us, in a nut-shell, to live each day to the fullest. This is emphasized many ways. First, Thoreau goes to great lengths talking about the importance of morning. He believes this is a very important time because it gives us a chance to renew ourselves everyday. He describes the bath tub with engravings as saying "Renew thyself completely each day; do it again, again, and forever again" (240). Thoreau believes it is important to move on from the past and to look forward to the future. "That man who does not believe that each day contains an earlier, more sacred, and auroral hour than he has yet profaned, has despaired of life, and is pursuing a descending and darkening way" (240). Morning is a time to renew yourself, and be at peace with nature. Any man who is unaware of this sacred time might be headed on the wrong path. Another idea is that we must learn to simplify our life because when doing too much, we might lose track of the important things. "I say, let you affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand" (241). "Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?" Simplifying life is the best way to be truly happy is what Thoreau is saying. When we get caught up in so many affairs, some which are unnecessary, we just waste time; waste life. Concentrating on the important aspects in our life is how Thoreau wants us to live. Also, because of something petty, we shouldn t stop life. Let things be as they are. When describing his shallow stream he says, "Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains." Things come and go constantly, but you will always remain and must learn to accept it. 4 The ideas from Emerson and Thoreau teach us something that is very valuable. No matter who you are, or where you live or what circumstances surround you, accepting it will help you live your life better. Accepting everything is important because everything is on the earth for some reason. Living each day to the fullest is the only way to live your life. Concentrate on the good things, not bad. Don t waste time being something you re not. Being an individual shows others who you are and that you don t need to join what society thinks and wants. Keeping things simple and being ourselves is what Emerson and Thoreau want us to do.

Nairobi National Park
Travel to Nairobi National Park – Kenya's First Park
Nairobi National Park is totally unique. Where else in the world can you find rhino and giraffe, rivers full of hippo and crocodile and prides of lion, all living wild and free within a twenty minute drive of the city centre? This was Kenya's first National Park and it remains a National treasure. The park is 113 square kms of open plains spectacular cliffs, rivers, dams and acacia forest.
The Park is an ongoing demonstration of man's ability to co-exist harmoniously with nature. There is an excellent information centre at the Main Gate. The Park can only be accessed by Private, hired or safari vehicles. The park headquarters are located by the main Langata gate. This complex is also the Headquarters of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
Birdlife is prolific with over 400 species recorded. There is an abundance of plains game and predators alike. The sight of large herds of buffalo, strolling ostrich and stalking cheetah, all with a backdrop of thriving modern Nairobi, is an unforgettable one.
The rolling plains are home to large herds of zebra and gazelle. Lions thrive here, and cheetah and rhino are often seen. The rivers have a sizeable population of hippos and crocodiles.
Also established here is the Nairobi Safari Walk. This is an educational centre set up to further public awareness on Wildlife and Habitat Conservation. A series of wooden boardwalks lead through a range of habitats and vegetation zones. Enclosed areas contain lions, leopard, buffalo, gazelle, wildebeest, ostrich, cheetah and hyena. The walk has been designed to be a living demonstration of eco-systems at work.
A visit to Nairobi National Park in itself is relaxing after the noise and traffic of Nairobi. Take a picnic and spent a day in the Park.
- Birdlife is prolific with over 400 species recorded. There is an abundance of plains game and predators alike.
- Spend a while at the riverside – a sizeable population of hippos and crocodiles are resident there.

The good one will be reassembled with new gaskets and seals and fresh oil, ready for the street car or a backup gearbox. The other will get a new layshaft and needle bearings, buff the carbon off of the syncro cones, thorough cleaning, and then reassembly. These late model steel syncro rings are quite robust and long lived, as long as you keep the oil clean. Aging oil can carbon up the syncro cones and cause the syncros to stick, in which case it won't go into gear.

So I've had a Galaxy S4 for a while now. Recently however, whenever I plug it into my pc it charges but will not show up as a drive on the pc.
The phone is on Vodafone UK and is insured, so may have to claim.
I have tried common solutions by the way. I have tried different ports with different cables. I've tried multiple desktops and laptops and the usb port in my car. I have installed the various programs that wipe out all your drivers leaving my wireless mouse and keyboard disabled (until I reconnected the BT dongle), plugged my phone in and nothing happened apart from my phone started to charge.
I had a problem before with it where it wouldn't charge at all, and had to send it back. I feel it hasn't been properly fixed and the micro USB slot is still faulty.
Any ideas?

Some Thoughts from Pastor Dave
(Jesus final prayer and greatest desire…)
"Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name- the name you gave me so that they (the disciples) may be one as we are one…"
"…I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them they glory that you gave me, may they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them, even as you have loved me."
John 17:11b, 20b-23 (NIV)
The bread has been broken. The cup has been shared. The disciples' feet have been washed. Jesus shares of the coming betrayal, abandonment and denial. He offers his disciples, his friends' final words of comfort, advice and encouragement as He nears his final hours. He promises the same spirit that gave him wisdom and strength; power and peace would be with them. He told them the world will often hate them, and that many would persecute them and think they are doing God a favor. He told them in this world they will have troubles, but take heart, He has, will overcome the world.
After Jesus shares his final words of comfort, He looks up toward heaven and prays. He prays that he may bring His heavenly Father glory. He prays for his disciples. He prays the words they have accepted and followed will not keep them separated from the world but protected from the world they will immerse themselves in for His sake. He prays they may find joy in tribulation, triumph over tragedy, in peace in the adversity. He prays they may find purity in a putrid world.
Jesus prays above all that they may find strength and unity in one another. He prays that all who believe may be in unity and love with one another and that this unity and love may speak more powerfully than any words uttered.
Psalm 133 speaks of how pleasing it is to God when we are one in unity and love with one another. In the book of Acts, the early believers truly embraced this and became one. They focused on Christ and put God's needs and others' needs above their own.
Jesus taught us to love one another. The disciple John, in his first letter chapter four, says we cannot love God and hate another. We are called to love, family, friends, and enemies alike. O how we may go beyond tolerating at best but not loving all we are called to love.
As a church family, we are not called to be alike, to agree on all things or even to like one another. We are called to love one another. As the Rabbi who walked in the woods taught the monks, the messiah, Jesus is among you. As we treat the least, as we treat one another. So we have treated Jesus.
May the love and unity we show one another shine like a light and a beacon to all who are in darkness God's marvelous light and love. May people watch and see our testimony and be drawn to the one who has shown his light and love toward us.
As we seek to become one, may our Sunday morning worship, our fellowship, our discipleship (learning and teaching) and our service toward one another and the community reflect this love and unity for all to see.

text: Hello, I maintain the unofficial Debian woody netinst CD images. There was a question a while back as to the contents of the .disk/info file on my unofficial images. It is ''Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 beta "Woody" - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20020212)'' My images do not have binary-* directories, nor base-images-*. It seems, therefore, that this test is flawed. There is nothing on the disc to indicate that it is an official image, yet it is treated as one. This is a larger problem because debian-cd puts the .disk/info file on /every/ image it generates, Official and otherwise. Unless this bug is corrected, anyone who produces unofficial bootable Debian CDs will be bitten.

Skarner Build Guide by Equinox Fox

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.
Threats to Skarner with this build
|Dr. Mundo
|He can kite you to a degree, however your MS should beat out his slows quite quickly. Tanky, not scary.
Welcome to the machine world
Skarner is somewhat of an off pick, however a fairly strong one with the dominant counter junglers being no longer a problem for myself. Yes they are a threat early levels, but beyond that now, Skarner has a much higher potential to out duel.
With his rework he offers a stun, which helps negate damage in the jungle, as well as a ranged slow for a whopping 50%.
Skarner is good if the mechanics are there in soloQ
And dominant in ranked teams. His coordination and ability, with the proper teammates, to "Kidnap" anyone on their team and drag them to their demise is impressive.
As with most guides, allow me to state this deals with him in the JUNGLE.
A guide for his mid/top lane will come at one point once I figure out how to deal a proper amount of damage as well as practice with match ups.
The ups and downs
High mobility
A refreshing MS boosting shield
A ranged multi slow
The ability to kidnap a carry
The ability to live after doing such action
A stun, albeit short can save you in a tough situation and duel
A VERY diverse play style and build style
Hard to counter at champ selection in the current meta
A skin after 3 years
No natural form of sustain (Just negation in shield)
Doesn't have the strongest mid game
Can be kited if understood how you play
SoloQ awaits
Let's burn the trees!
Now of course, with the new fancy mechanical "lets set everything on fire" skin, seems appropriate to go against Smokey the Volibear and burn it up. So lets start with the important things, and get down to the gritty details afterwards!
The path is pretty simple.
Top side
Base - Skirmisher > Triple HP pot
Ward red - Smite Krug - Red - Birds
Bot side
That's pretty much it for pre 4. QWEW Will setup for some clears, shields and ganks.
Remember, pre 6 the rule of thumb is as states for ganking.
Does the teammate have a soft/hard CC?
However always be wary of peoples reactions. They are fidgety little things to note.
Their position in lane, the minions spawning, what wave is it?
Are they closer to the bush, or more wary. Losing a CS or two to stay slightly safer?
Is the opponent below 60%?
Blow a flash.
Your ranged slow can set up some nice ganks if time correctly, with a well placed Q double tap.
People fear the smallest of stuns and for good reason. .5 seconds can take a lot out of somebodies HP, or even give your teammate time to get that much closer for an ignite, a hit.
It gets even better when you get the passive to hit for a second long stun.
Is your teammate below 50%?
Take care in ganking!
ESPECIALLY if you don't have the opponent jungle warded, or if you don't know their location.
They may be on the same path idea you are, ganking that guy that is getting slowly harrased, pushing too far.
If you are gonna gank at this point in the fight in their lane, you best be careful of the opponent jungle stomping on your parade.
Do you have red buff?
Gank gank gank gank gank
That thing is timed. Make use of that true damage paired with that slow. Helps shove more AA's in faster, which means a faster proc'd stun and less area for the opponent laner to move.
Post 6 the rules are nearly the same, however the induction of a "Perhaps I should gank" when a teammate lacks Hard/soft CC turns into "Oh god yes, let's just drag them to my fiora that can smack them twice".
Okay so you have probably heard me state this a few times already.
Ganks. They. Are. Fun. Honestly, nothing is more fun then tagging a running Darius with an E, and chasing them down to oblivion.
Your mid game does this quite well with the addition of your ult, and you should at this point have at the very least a sheen.
An E slow, followed by a stun, sheen procs then an ult if they flash? Difficult to escape.
I would say you shine here, but that would be lying.
You don't shine, you destroy those who do.
You take the shiny carries and drag them to their doom, kicking and screaming into a full team, ready to burst them down to death.
Or to take that heroic moment save, and pull them away, a 1v1. Mano y...scorpio.
Point is, you don't have to shine. You aren't here to be a shining crystal, you are here to be a tough machine and destroy those who think they can dare shine in your presence.
If you are fed?
Keep anyone from shining unless they share your color. The only time you might shine a bit, build path might change to carry a bit harder.
Got your lanes fed?
Well ****, you should polish that opponent carry on your trophy shelf.
Who to target!!
Team fights have started now.
That 0/5 vayne? Not near as deadly as the Leo that can carry her there.
That Alistar that can do a charge knock up? Let him do it on you if you're tanky. He either has to waste it on the tank, and get you closer to the carry at that point, or ignore you and let you take the carry anyway!
Final notes on your machine
As with most mechanical ideals, well oiled, well kept machinery is more efficient and pretty to look at.
Skarner is pretty close to the same.
Stick with the points, burn down your opponents jungle and lift your team up on mechanical scorpion sawblades or something.
You do ganks correctly, time your opponents jungle camps and stay on target. It's up to your team from that point forwards...however that's any champion in this game.
I Appreciat'cha reading the guide to the very end, and I hope to hear feedback on how to show the power of this mechanical bug to those who wish to use him.
Now go show Smokey the Volibear who he's messing with.
-Equinox Fox

The Use of Kekkai in Anime
Kekkai's are often seen using in anime/manga and often spoken of as well. For those who do not know, a kekkai is barrier in the 'small' scale sense. On the 'large' scale, it is referred to as a pocket of the universe. In most anime and manga, kekkai is used as a shield or combative use.
Examples of Uses in Anime
Anime: Nurarihyon no Mago
Created with the use of Onmyoji, it is a kekkai barrier that is over 400 years old. It is used to protect the humans from yokai's that attempt to enter the town. The more Onmyoji users present, the stronger the barrier. The only one known to successfuly destroy the barrier was Akifusa.
Anime: Kekkaishi
Kekkai is the main offensive and defensive combat used in this anime. It is said to be created by three different commands: Hoi, Joso, and Ketsu. Hoi locks onto the target, Joso determines the location of the Kekkai, and Ketsu activates the Kekkai. There are two different kinds of Kekkai as well: Coordinate (non movable) and Conditional (movable).
Anime: X/1999
Kekkai in X/1999 are used as spiritual barriers/shields. The Seven Seals can create the shields to protect an area during battle. When activated, it takes the people involved in the battle to another plane of existence. If the user dies, the damage remains. If they live, the damage disappears. These barriers can only be used by people who want to protect another person. If the person they want to protect dies, so does their ability to create the barrier.

Without a Building Permit, Renovations Can Cost You
When Gina Blum returned to her Kirkland, Wash., home one afternoon after picking up her kids from school, she saw yellow police tape crisscrossing her doorstep, along with a big "Do Not Enter" sign.
"I was scared that something really terrible had happened," she says. "It looked like a crime scene."
The offense the Blum family had committed, according to her town, was failing to get a building...

Backyard Landscape in El Paso
Using a professional landscape designer is crucial when installing backyard landscaping. Experienced designers are needed to plan the project with all its elements. Choosing trees, plants and shrubs that are appropriate for this climate requires knowledge of the local environment and of native plant life. The experts at MAK Roofing and Construction, a backyard landscaping contractor in El Paso, will consult with you to make sure your backyard meets all your goals for your outdoor space.
Besides the botanical side of the project, backyard landscaping could include swimming pools, ramadas, pergolas, retaining walls, patios or decks, all areas of expertise for our well-trained, knowledgeable team.
El Paso Landscaping Contractor
It's important your designer selects drought tolerant plants to keep you from spending all your time maintaining and watering your backyard. Flowers like evening primrose, peonies and types of penstemon among many others. An additional bonus for using native plants is you won't need to buy soil additives and fertilizer.
An attractive landscaping plan won't necessarily feature only plants. Stones, gravel, sand, bark chips and other elements of xeriscaping all halt ground evaporation. Multi-colored rocks and stones combined with flowers, shrubs and cacti in mulch gives a uniquely Southwestern desert feel to your backyard.
But, if your backyard is more traditional, grass and flower beds, we can maintain it for you. Our hard-working crews expertly manicure El Paso lawns, edge and trim along sidewalks, hedges and fences, and clean flower and plant beds to leave your time free to enjoy the space instead of working on it.
The Number One backyard landscaping contractor in El Paso is MAK Roofing and Construction. Call (915) 691-0532 and we'll respond quickly with an affordable landscaping solution.

5th Player Expansion & More Models Unlocked For Blood Rage Board Game!
March 5, 2015 by brennon
Blood Rage from Guillotine Games and Studio McVey is going great guns and they've unlocked a whole host of extra options for their game. You can check out not only the different goals but also some of the extra fantastic miniatures that make up the game pieces…
…so here is where we come to the first of the awesome miniatures being added to the Kickstarter version of the game. I love the look of this Mystic Troll with a real human feel to it so it's not just a big lumbering monster. It's also another perfect representation of Adrian Smith's art in miniature form which is great to see.
Once again, just wow. I'm kind of speechless when it comes to the sculpts we're getting for this game and even in the prototype versions we've seen in the demo game and the plastics that got shown off before the launch we've had some high quality pieces making their way into the mix. Not only are you going to have a gorgeous game with Blood Rage but a massive painting project to undertake too!
The final stretch goal for the moment is the Loki figure which brings in the Gods of Asgard rule for the game. When a God is on the board he bestows his ability to the region meaning it takes effect for everyone. Let's hope that all the other Gods get their chance to fight in the battles between the clans too!
As if that wasn't enough they've also added the 5th Player Expansion as an optional buy. The expansion itself WILL be available after launch with only the extra miniature monsters being the Kickstarter Exclusive. Don't worry. The Ram Clan are the new addition to the game and look just as awesome as the others.
By Odin's Beard this got exciting…
"I love the look of this Mystic Troll with a real human feel to it so it's not just a big lumbering monster"

As 2016 draws to a close and the holiday season begins, we would like to take a moment to offer our heartfelt thanks for all you do. Because of your generosity and support, fresh art had a memorable year providing fine art workshops and exhibitions to underserved and disadvantaged New Yorkers.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
We are so proud of the programs fresh art offered our artists this year: four year-long weekly workshops serving more than 35 individuals, and two exhibitions featuring the works of more than 60 artists.
All of this was possible because of you!
Now more than ever, fresh art needs you so that we can continue this rewarding work. We are a small organization, so any contribution really can change the life of a New Yorker in need:
$25 will cover the cost of paintbrushes and supplies for one artist
$50 will cover international shipping for 4 works on paper as part of fresh art's annual exchange exhibition with partners in London, Berlin, Melbourne, and Mumbai
$80 will cover a teacher's salary for the day
$200 will cover framing materials for an upcoming exhibition
$1300 will provide half the funding for a10-week workshop for 12 artists
We truly could not offer these wonderful services to our artists without your support. The adults served by fresh art are marginalized, underserved, and dealing with a range of difficult issues and disabilities. fresh art's programs help foster the artistic process and are often the beginning of a new focus on a life filled with positive, productive, and creative purpose.
But we can't do it without you! Your tax-deductible donation will help pay for fresh art's caring, accomplished teachers, art and framing materials, and operating costs involved in creating and implementing the programs our artists have come to depend on. With your help, fresh art can fund more exhibitions and workshops in the coming year and make a difference in the lives of more people.
Thank you so much for your generous support!

I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Binding the Shadows
Jenn Bennett
urban fantasy that was published by Pocket Books on May 28, 2013 and has 366 pages.
Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon.
Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Kindling the Moon, Summoning the Night, Bitter Spirits, Grim Shadows, Banishing the Dark, Grave Phantoms
Third in the Arcadia Bell urban fantasy series and revolving around Cady Bell and her "family".
My Take
I don't know what it is about this series, and I do enjoy it. There's something so cozy and homey about it even as Cady leaps into trouble time and again. Then there's that personal, um, genetic?, inheritance she keeps learning about. Ick.
I suspect it's Lon. I adore him. He's so warm, loving, and practical. I don't think he leaves home without his gun! Then the complication of Jupe. It's one that makes this whole story about family. Complications with the in-laws, the ex, a teenager feeling his hormones fluctuating. Add paranormal power to that and y'all should feel happy with your own teen monsters, LOL!
It's written well enough and just misses being as terrific as something like Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter or Psy-Changeling or Kim Harrison's Hollows. And no, I really can't pin it down, unless it's the lack of intense tension and drama those series have. I would compare it favorably with Diana Rowland's Kara Gillian, Karen Chance's Cassandra Palmer (okay, maybe Cassie has an edge here), or Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus.
Getting back to this story, it's personal when the crooks hit Tambuku and take Kar Yee down, but it's not half as personal as Rose whacking away at Cady. And it just gets worse when we finally meet Yvonne. Oh, boy. Talk about family drama!
"Even Adella is beyond wanting to know her: "I'll answer the phone when it's the coroner's office calling, asking me to identify your body."
And I don't blame Addy one bit. Wait'll you see how well Yvonne holds up to what she claims to want.
Mmm, I do like that Lon likes to track Cady's firsts.
There's a reference to a boat in this story and Jupe's knack. That would be the eShort, "Leashing the Tempest", 2.5.
Oh, brother, does this sound familiar?
"…I made a few mistakes. I can't keep paying for them."
I gotta give Bennett major credit for the twist she's put on this tale. Sure it's a standard plotline with great personal danger facing Cady with major threats against those she loves, but whew, the type of danger!? Whoa. Part of me can't wait to read and find out what happens next, and part of me wants to put it off for as long as possible. I just know Bennett is gonna twist me up with some tension and worry in Banishing the Dark, 4.
The Story
It's crazy thefts and burglaries with Earthbounds using knacks and power levels they shouldn't have while Dare is browbeating Cady into investigating the crime spree spreading throughout Morella.
Worse, Lon's ex-in-laws have shown up and mama-in-law is making some outrageous demands.
The Characters
Arcadia "Cady" Bell, a.k.a., Selène Aysul Duval, is a magician with an inherited moon power. The demons call her Mother of Ahriman, mother of demons. She owns a bar, the Tambuku, in Morella, with her partner, Kar Yee Tsang, a Chinese ex-pat. Amanda has been promoted to assistant manager. Priya, a Heremeneus spirit, an asexual messenger entity, is the familiar who "died" in Kindling the Moon, 1.
Lon Butler, a professional photographer, is a transmutated Earthbound, a kerub demon with a knack for empathy, who is seriously dating Cady. Jupe is his fourteen-year-old son who has dived into restoring the 1967 GTO he got for his birthday in Summoning the Night, 2. Foxglove is their Labrador. Rose Giovanni, a.k.a., Gramma, is Lon's ex-wife's mother with a knack for clairaudience and is she ever a mean, nasty thing! Adella is the sister who teaches art history at the University of Portland. Yvonne is the fabulously gorgeous model addict of an ex-wife who used her knack to get Lon to marry her. Mr. and Mrs. Holiday are the couple who takes care of the house and grounds. Dr. Mick Bright is an old friend of Lon's.
David Merrimoth is an Earthbound and Dare's second-in-command. Ambrose Dare is the very rich and very powerful head of the Hellfire Club, a group of Earthbound demons who control most of the town of La Sirena. He owns Dare Energy Solutions and knows Cady's true name. Beryl is an Earthbound minion of his. Peter Little is a former city councilman with a luck knack. Evan Johnson is the Hellfire jerk who distracted Yvonne. Very easily.
Bob, a.k.a., Dr. Feelgood, is an Earthbound with a milder version of his dad's healing knack. Andrew runs the corner market near Tambuku. Nihal is a fellow restorer — he has a 1971 GTO — whom they meet at Speed Demon Rally. Father Carrow is both Earthbound and a former priest who is friends with Cady.
Hajo Kemme is a death dowser and drug dealer getting blackmailed by his neighbors. Darren is a scum bag trust fund party boy.
Noel Saint-Hill is one of Telly's partners while Telly is a juvenile delinquent who needs a long stint in jail. Tabor seems to be a drug dealer.
Enola Duval is Cady's mother. One of the Black Lodge Slayers who was taken by Nivella the White, an albino demon in Kindling the Moon. Victor Duval is an unknown brother. Grand Duke Chora, whom we met in Summoning the Night, may be in the other dimension, but he's keeping busy and is a respected leader.
Heka is what they call magic in Cady's world. Earthbounds are demons on the inside and humans on the outside; transmutated Earthbound are those Earthbound who get spelled by the Hellfire Club and become part of the Body, the governing part of Hellfire. Ekklesia Eleusia (E∴E∴) is a respected esoteric society in occult circles. The Caliph is the head of the order. And Cady's godfather.
The Cover and Title
The cover is purpled with its cement block background with the black demon tattoo and Cady in her double-layered tank tops of black under bright purple as she leans against the wall, cocking a knee, an elbow, and her head in attitude and holding her cadeucus.
The title is nebulous and my best guess is that it's about Cady's rising abilities in Binding the Shadows as her power grows.

Gobo Root Appetizer (kinpira)
Although gobo is one of my favourite vegetables, I hadn't eaten it for a long time since coming to Vancouver. Fortunately, my friend gave me some seeds that she had harvested from gobo plants she grew. Despite its huge nutritional benefits, I feel that North Americans still do not know how to eat this beautiful vegetable. It contains a lot of minerals and fibre, which cleanses the stomach and intestines, serving as a mild laxative to purify the body and eliminate toxins and waste. What else do you need, right? So here is the recipe for you to reap the benefit of this rather conservative looking veggie that nonetheless contains impressively healthful attributes.
Last summer, I was away and missed the timing to sow the gobo seeds. However, I decided to take a chance and sowed the seeds in late August. The new growth was lush but sadly it disappeared during the winter months. So I couldn't help getting giddy when I found the new growth today in my garden. I bought the organic gobo, pictured above, from a health store (cost me $18 for two pounds! It makes me realize even more how precious it is to grow them in my garden).
I like to make plenty of this dish because it's always the best next day! We ate some for dinner with rice and the next day, I stumbled upon the idea to serve the leftovers on Wisecrackers as an appetizer– it was delicious!
Serves 4-6
1 lb organic gobo (burdock roots)
1 lb of organic carrots
5 small dried chilli peppers (I grew and stored 'Thai Dragon')
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons organic cane sugar (or brown sugar)
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese cooking sweetener)
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Brush the gobo clean, jullienne and soak them in water with a few drops of vinegar for 30 min. Julienne carrots and chop chilli peppers to create thin rings. Change the water and continue to soak gobo for another 10 min. Drain gobo and remove moisture well. I do this ahead of time so they are fairly dry when I cook.
Heat a large pan with oil until smoking hot, then stir fry gobo and chilli peppers for 15 min. Add carrots and stir fry for another 10 min until carrots are cooked but not soft. The secret is to cook in high heat by continuously stirring to ensure nothing burns and keeping the vegetable mixture dry, not wet. Add sugar and soy sauce to the carrot mixture, and continue to stir till sauce starts bubbling. Add mirin and sesame seeds and combine well for a few minutes. Mirin burns easily, so as soon as the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly, take the pan off the heat. Serve with rice and save some for the next day to serve on crackers as an appetizer.

Your site is terrific, you've done a great job. I'm impressed. Beautiful pictures.
Well done. I love your pics and recipe. Your an artist 🙂
Do you have any advice how to grow gobo in a hot climate? Where can I find gobo seeds? I live in Central Florida and I miss gobo in most of my Japanese recipes. Thank you

Summer is starting to wind down (already?!) and soon it'll be school time again. That means lockers!
Master Lock® has hired a new specialist on student life to help students safely and securely navigate this school year in style. The Master Mind, a suave and funny college grad, is staring in a humorous online video series on in which he, along with his clever Little Sister, are setting out to answer students' most frequent, awkward and perplexing questions on their Facebook page.
Parents and students are invited to submit their own questions for the Master Mind and participate in daily sweepstakes for a chance to win back-to-school must-haves, including popular Master Lock school and campus security products.
My best advice to students and parents is to keep the lines of communication open! Stay in touch with teachers, and kids, stay in touch with your parents. Moms and Dads, don't let your student fall behind! Keep tabs on them, and be an active participant in their education.
I am entering a contest for a Master Lock back-to-school prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.

QUESTIONS ABOUT the massive Bengü
Sezen scientific fraud case at Columbia
University linger in the August heat. But
many of them will likely never be answered—especially the question, Why? Columbia in 2005 awarded her a Ph. D. degree
in chemistry with distinction; however, it
was based in large part on her fraudulent
work. Details of the case make clear that
Sezen, at the very least, has a sophisticated
understanding of chemical
principles. The effort she put
into faking it and covering her
tracks, say many people who
have reviewed the case, easily
match that required for legitimate doctoral work in science.
Last month, Columbia's
investigative report of Sezen's
fraud surfaced via multiple
Freedom of Information Act
requests, including one filed
by C&EN. The report—and
an analysis of the university's
investigation by the Office
of Research Integrity (ORI)
at the Department of Health
& Human Services—reveals
shocking new details of her
focused and sustained effort
to fabricate and plagiarize
experimental results on a
historic scale (C&EN, July 11,
page 4). And from those details
emerges the complex puzzle
of how and why such an extensive fraud could be carried out
undetected for multiple years
of doctoral education at one of the nation's
leading universities and premier chemistry departments. Beyond confirming that
Sezen's Ph. D. degree in chemistry has been
revoked, however, the university refuses to
say more about the case.
she picked up another doctoral degree in
molecular biology. But, with mounting questions about her chemistry thesis and published work—eventually to include retraction of research papers she coauthored with
her professor, Dalibor Sames, on C–H bond
functionalization—Columbia assembled an
investigative committee to probe deeper.

If you happen to be strolling down East 2nd Street between Avenues A and B, stop in and see this fine specimen at Kabinett & Kammer. Nestled among other amazing, mint-condition botanical and zoological curiosities, this zebra is desperately seeking a forever home.The suggested donation for this adoption? A mere $8,500. The good news is that he doesn't eat much. He will, however, require a bit more space than the average East Village abode affords.

The Spring Collection is showcased in a new smaller sized "boutique" format, featuring a "more intimate layout and softer graphic elements" that allow the overall presentation to evoke a sophisticated yet flirty feeling, indicative of the spring and summer seasons, the company said.
The new catalog showcases Dreamgirl's classic Best Sellers, In Stock Guarantee styles, new Special Value Hanging Lingerie and an expanded Bridal selection.
"For 2011, Dreamgirl is introducing a new Spring Collection that is a more directed and focused line," said Susan Feldman, Dreamgirl's senior vice president of design and merchandising. "We are offering an on-trend fashion color palette for our retailers to easily move from spring into summer. We've also created a special bridal section that is filled with proven best-selling styles and is merchandised to fit into any lingerie retailer."
The assortment of best-selling bridal lingerie was culled from earlier releases that include hanging lingerie, packaged panties, and styles from the White Diamond, Special Value, In Stock Guarantee and Plus collections.
Among the new catalog's highlights is a focus on three color pallets intended to make merchandising seamless through the spring and summer months, with some key transitional styles.
"To open the season is a soft pale spring pallet, which coordinates beautifully with the whites of the Bridal Collection," the company said. "Then the line picks up soft pinks and blues which transitions into a sexy palette of vibrant pink, coral and turquoise designs that are perfect for summer's hot nights. "
After seeing success with its "Versatile Design' in both the Clubwear Diamond and Costume Collections, Dreamgirl has incorporated into its new spring/summer catalog.
"This innovative concept was adapted to give the consumer the ability to style lingerie in a way that best flatters their own body," the company said. "It's also a great way to have fun coming up with new ways to wear lingerie!"
Also set to debut is a collection of Special Value hanging styles. The hanging lingerie are available at Special Value prices ranging from $8.50- $10.95 for both regular and plus sizes. Dreamgirl says it recognizes the desire of retailers to have more cost conscious assortment for customers at this price level. The new selection will allow more flexibility for retailers to either garner better margins or pass on the savings to their customer base.
The 2011 Spring Collection features best selling styles and new color assortments for the ISG (In Stock Guarantee) program. The ISG program maintains inventory on best sellers that are ready to ship overnight to U.S. retailers, including Black Diamond, Red Diamond and White Diamond.
