Southern, Low Country, Creole, Soul and Cajun dishes are arguably the most American contributions to the world of gastronomy. Each of these styles of cooking grew from the foundations of Native American ingredients and cooking techniques, onto which traditions from other cultures were layered. Every time you bite into the warm, moist, nuttiness of shrimp and grits or savor the smoky rich goodness of BBQ ribs at your favorite joint, thank the ingenuity of the Native people of America.
Every Cherokee tended a garden. My grandmother once said, "No respectable Cherokee would be without a garden." They often were on the banks of a creek, making it easy to water in the summer months. But, the gardens weren't so much for eating right away. They were for storing up food for winter. You had the bounty of the woods in the spring, summer and fall. What you found there far exceeded anything you could grow in a garden.
Growing corn was a must. There were three types: white corn, yellow corn and a mixed color corn that had white, yellow and red kernels. All were eaten fresh from the garden, but most of the crop was either dried as whole kernels or ground into meal.There was also a special corn called Eagle Corn that was used in ceremonies. It was purple but had the outline of a bird with outstretched wings on it, like an eagle in flight.
In the garden also were beans of various kinds climbing a scaffold made of cane poles or the stalks of corn. They all looked like green beans when they were young and hanging on the vine. But if allowed to dry you could see the striations and colors that made each variety unique. Growing low were crops like pumpkins, melons, potatoes and tomatoes.
When the Europeans arrived they didn't quite know what to do with these crops. Some thought they were inferior and stuck to the foods they knew from Europe. It was really the poor people and slaves who first adopted the foods of Native Americans and began experimenting with them. To water cornbread they added wheat flour and eggs, to green beans they added bacon, to grits they added cheese and butter and to tomatoes they added sugar and pasta.
The Cherokees adapted their cooking as well. They incorporated things like flour into traditional cornmeal breads and batters to make then lighter. They added sugar to traditional desserts like grape dumplings and huckleberry bread to compliment the traditional sweetner "kah-sel-tsi", made from the honey locust pod. One of the biggest changes was switching from bear grease to hog lard, thanks to the 200 or so pigs that accompanied the explorer Hernando DeSoto. This has evolved into the creation of the post-colonial Cherokee culinary phenomenon called a Hog Fry.
Today, it is difficult to separate traditional Native cooking from the various cuisines of the American south. Just know that if your dish is made with corn, cornmeal, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, crayfish, catfish, venison or quail, to name a few, give a thought to the Native people who shared this food with the world.

Durban - The horrific details of the conditions under which a South African couple were kept hostage in Somalia for 20 months have started to emerge.Bruno Pelizarri, who holds dual Italian and SA citizenship, is currently in Italy where he is visiting his mother and preparing to give evidence before an Italian court about the Somalis who captured him, reported the Weekend Argus. More details will emerge during their testimony. His sister, Vera Hecht, said her brother and his South African girlfriend Debbie Calitz, might look thin now, but had actually been emaciated before being fattened up by their captors prior to their release. They were extremely pale from being locked up in the dark.She said their mother was "ecstatic" about her son's release after 20 months in captivity. The Times reported that Pelizzari had dreamed of chocolate cake while in captivity and still couldn't believe that he was able to make coffee now whenever he wanted to."I feel fantastic. It's really good to be free. I'm overwhelmed by the support," Pelizzari said in a telephonic interview.The couple were freed in a raid on Mogadishu in an operation in which several governments and organisations had a part, including the Italian government. Details of the raid and the ransom paid have been sketchy until now.
I hope the book sells well. Would make for an intresting read.
A book doesn't have to sell well to be an interesting read. If it is well-written, etc that makes for an interesting read.
Rob is making two different points catgirl. That he hopes it sells well, and that he thinks it will make an interesting read. Your comment is both lame and irrelevant.
Thanks Koo...Always one is'nt there !
Sigh. Alas, always rob :)
"They were extremely pale from being looked up in the dark" Please correct the poor spelling news24!
LOCKED UP!! read proply else go for spelling lessons einstein.. p.s my spelling errors r purposefully made so b.t.w
Why would some one want to purposely make mistakes, spelling or otherwise?
hope he managed 2indulge in s much chocolate cake s he cud after d release!
oh my god, is it really so much effort to use proper english?
The curse of mxit! Nobody from the younger generation can write or spell properly anymore.
And ahemsurferosa, is it really necessary to use God's name in this vain manner?????
Moving on...
Erm its 'English' @ ahemsurferosa.
"2indulge, s, cud, d" is not proper English. Have a look in any dictionary! It's not even a careless spelling mistake, which can happen!
Yes Bruce its appalling, but isn't the sentiment being expressed, which was sweet, more important? Why be a douche about it? And if you insist on being a douche, then at least make sure your own English is flawless.
Its the small things in life we take for granted
Some things certainly are sketchy, if they were rescued during a "raid" surely that would come as a surprise to the pirates, so where did they have time to "fatten" them up a bit, the ransom must have been paid and that is why they were "fattened" up for release. Too many obscurities here, but at least they are free, that is the main thing... Wish them all the best...
hmmmnnn ! If a raid had indeed been carried out by the relevant role players as so reported, then there is certainly no need to pay a ransom!
thank you to those who have been helpful to our family. We are so greatful for all the help to free my Father in law. Much love
So were they rescued in a raid, or released? The story seems to imply both?
Thanks to SA government! Not.
The couple already in talk with a Tv program I shouldn't be alive..... Such a good way to make money! Not even mentioned the Magazine cover and Tv coverage they are enjoying!!!!!
Are you implying that they arranged to be kidnapped so that they can have all this publicity. I know some of their family,this was no fun for them!
Well i wouldn't hesitate to either if i had lived through such a nightmare. At least there's going to be one positive out of the whole drama
Huh South africa now allow DUAL CITIZENSHIP? I would like to know more on this one

Adobe is releasing the 1.0 version of its Media Player (AMP) software to the public. The player, which is an offline Flash video manager comparable to the Veoh player, was first released as a beta on the Adobe Labs site last September.
AMP runs on Adobe's cross browser Adobe Integrate Runtime (AIR), which saw its 1.0 release in February. AMP is available immediately as a free download for Windows and Mac from the official site.
AMP is basically a desktop Flash video manager that organizes streaming and downloadable video content. Users can find and watch content in AMP, as well as subscribe to shows and have updates pushed directly out to them via the player. Adobe is launching its media player with an impressive list of content partners, including CBS, MTV Networks (Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, etc.), Universal Music Group, PBS, CondéNet (WIRED, Epicurious, etc.), and Scripps Networks (Food Network, Fine Living, etc.).
"It's a merger of TV Guide and DVR for Internet video content," said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe, in a press release.
Because Flash has native support for high res video, AMP can display videos in 1080p, 720p or 480i. Indeed, the video in the Adobe Media Player looked very nice, even when streaming. Adobe doesn't host any content, but merely facilitates the delivery from CDN to user. AMP pulls content from partners via RSS feeds -- and users can add any video RSS feed into the player.

I never thought a book written by a man could give me such an eye-opening picture of who I should be as a woman."
Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling author of For Women Only
Women today have unprecedented opportunities and possibilities before them, but this great new freedom also brings a new dilemma: how to make the best choices for their own good and that of their families. In The New Eve, Robert Lewis gives women of all ages a picture of what God intended for us from the beginning and a clear vision for how we make choices that liberate us to live with purposeful direction. No matter your stage in life, all women can benefit from his coaching. I highly recommend it." ??
Barbara Rainey, co-founder of FamilyLife
Robert Lewis sounds a much-needed message as he calls women to walk in the feminine freedom and fullness that result from embracing our core biblical callings. The New Eve dispels the current cultural fog regarding what it means to be a woman, by looking to God's design as revealed in the Scripture, for wisdom, insight, and direction."

How High a Dog Jumping Fence?
Many dogs are able to jump over a fence, and some are quite adept at climbing fences and walls, no matter the height. Even a small dog with tenacity and determination can climb a significantly higher than any part fence. Six meters high fences are suitable for most dogs, but dogs with a propensity to jump are safer inside fences 8 feet or higher. Certain types of dog jumping fence, as straight-sided wooden privacy fencing or vinyl no open space between the pickets are difficult for a dog to jump over or climb. As an additional security measure, secure the bottom of the fence so that the dog cannot dig underneath. Dog jumping fence for a variety of reasons.
Something of interest may be on the other side, an intact dog may be trying to find a mate or dog can jump due to boredom. The dog jumping fence as a response based on fear. A frightened dog could jump in an attempt to escape from an act of nature, like a storm, tornado or hurricane. In the dog's mind, escape could be key to survival. The same is true of a dog that lives an isolated life or no shelter, food or water.

Only one African-American woman has ever earned the Academy Award for Best Actress. One. (In fact, you can see all of the African-American Oscar winners for acting and most of their speeches in this video that's less than five minutes long.)
Meanwhile, Broadway has celebrated actors, writers, choreographers, and directors of color on the stage for decades, with several big names earning multiple awards in their lifetime — a feat few Hollywood actors of color have been able to achieve.
Here are three easy lessons Hollywood can learn from Broadway.
Because if the Great White Way can make money telling stories by and about people from traditionally underrepresented groups, then why can't Hollywood?
1. White, straight Americans aren't the only ones living the human experience.
It seems obvious, but sadly, many Hollywood insiders still don't get it. Broadway is winning by sharing and celebrating the rich stories, traditions, and cultures of traditionally underrepresented people.
Whether it's the cruel injustice faced by Japanese-Americans in internment camps during World War II, as depicted in George Takei's biographical musical, "Allegiance"…
Or the story of five women during Liberia's civil war in the upcoming "Eclipsed." Written by Danai Gurira (who you may know as Michonne from "The Walking Dead") and starring Lupita Nyong'o, it's the first Broadway production to boast an entirely black cast and all-female creative team.
Coming to #Broadway February 23rd. Tickets on sale today. #eclipsed #eclipsedplay @lupitanyongo @ladyzjah @vintagepopsoul @danaijekesaigurira @liesltommy @clintramos Photo: Joan Marcus
A photo posted by Eclipsed on Broadway (@eclipsedbway) on
Even seeing a familiar story through a different lens can be quite revolutionary. That's how Lin-Manuel Miranda made American history come alive in his hip-hop infused musical "Hamilton."
While the experiences may look unfamiliar on the outside, all of these stories hit themes that are deeply personal and universal: perseverance, love, and hope. And contrary to movie previews, white, straight people aren't the only ones who experience these things.
2. Challenge the status quo, rake in the dough.
(This one rhymes so you know it's true. )
While originality, writing, and creating new stories are important, Broadway has a long history of reviving older musicals and plays to offer a fresh take on these well-loved stories.
One way to breathe new life into long-running musicals and plays is with color-blind casting.
Actresses of color like Brandy Norwood and Carly Hughes have taken on the lead roles in the long-running Broadway classic "Chicago."
In 2014, actor Norm Lewis took the stage as the 13th actor to play the phantom in "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. It was the 10,936th performance of the show, and Lewis was the first African – American in the role.
PHOTO CALL: @NormLewis777 and @SierraBoggess Take First Bow in @PhantomBway http://t.co/H9FUbLX6Hj pic.twitter.com/cIjmhq5L6b— Playbill (@playbill) May 13, 2014
And in the summer of 2015, actor Kyle Jean-Baptiste became the youngest and first African – American actor to play the role of Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables."
Before and after shot. Today is my last performance as Valjean on Broadway. What an incredible experience. I've learned and grown so much. Grateful for the people I've met and this opportunity. I will never forget it. Dedicating this performance to someone special to me. They know who they are. Also sending love to everyone who supported me. Family friends etc. Until next time ..Kyle signing out…saudade❤✌🏿 #onedaymore#valjeanout#24601 @lesmizbway
A photo posted by Kyle Jean- Baptiste (@baptistekyle1) on
Sadly, just days after the end of his historic run, 21-year-old Jean-Baptiste died after falling from a fire escape.
Color-blind casting for these eminent roles is a great way to broaden the talent pool and opens up opportunities for actors of color. Plus it freshens up these long-running shows and gives customers new reasons to see them again and again. Or, in Hollywood terms, "cha-ching."
3. There's no such thing as niche. A good story can appeal to anyone.
The true story of a lesbian cartoonist telling the tale of her dysfunctional family, including her closeted father's suicide.
A coming-of-age story based on a 19th century German play that touches on abortion, child abuse, and other tough themes, performed in English and American Sign Language.
Rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing (and more rehearsing!)
A photo posted by Deaf West Theatre (@deafwest) on
A musical based on the real story of a young man who turns his dead father's shoe company into a place to make stiletto heels for drag performers.
These aren't small productions. These are synopses for "Fun Home," the revival of "Spring Awakening," and "Kinky Boots." "Fun Home" and "Kinky Boots" have both recouped their investments and cleaned up at the Tony Awards. And all three shows have or will soon begin national tours.
Considering the average ticket holder for a Broadway production is a middle-aged white woman from outside New York City, this is no small feat. It's a reminder that people don't need their characters to look or behave just like them because at heart, good stories are universal.
It's not hard, Hollywood.
All you need is a great story, millions of dollars, and a few people willing to take a chance on storytellers, actors, and creators who want to bring unique offerings to life. They won't all be hits, but that's a risk you're already taking.
At least this way, we'll get compelling stories; see representations of different cultures, traditions, and populations; and open ourselves up to greater empathy. Oh, and better movies. We'll definitely get better movies.
Now who's in?

Dwarven Mine Rush
A good example of a great mine rush the line up is as follows: Digz & ultrazero (Dwarves & Elves) vs unknown & unknown (Mordor & Motw) This is a fantastic example of a mine rush,
Show All
Show All
most people use this strategy alot for dwarves but i posted this as this is just a great example of a good mine rush. This is just s perfect timed rush and of course I\'m against mordor so i had to rush early and win or i lost the game as Mordor in late game means your in trouble so i had to take him out or else he would have killed me. I liked ultrazero\'s tactic in this game it worked very well for him as Elves even though the Motw did build fast by getting a Rax, range and stables very fast. The clumping was excellent from me and zero and it really helped alot. The PowerPoint\'s were for me and him both rallying call as we both needed to go for it as Motw in late game with Theoden, Eomer and Rohirum with Glorious Charge means game over. It was a great game nevertheless and i hope you enjoy it! Digz

Defensive Publishing An Empirical Study
Defensive Publishing denotes publication of an invention with the purpose of creating prior art, and thus preventing patents being granted on this invention. Although widely employed, it has hardly been investigated empirically. Our study is based on 56 in-depth interviews, among others with most industrial firms in the German DAX 30 stock index. We find that 70 percent of the companies in our sample use defensive publications, for up to one third of their inventions. Interestingly, we find that the patent system itself is frequently used for defensive publishing. Our findings also challenge contributions connecting defensive publishing to patent races.

Android M, the next version after Android L is expected to unveil at Google I/O 2015 which is to be held later this week. But what the next version brings to the smartphones? As expected it will add lots of new features to the device and to improve the performance of the device Google is focusing on battery and RAM management which is the key factor of next version of Android operating system.
As the battery life issue is the major problem for most of the Android smartphones, Google in its latest version will be efficient at managing its power. Better performance from apps, optimizing various features will be the task of Google in its Android M update. Google want to trim the amount of RAM usage with the screen off for efficient RAM management. Google Play Services is also expected to bring several changes in its Android M version.
The final release of Android M may be somewhere in the month of August, but we can expect delay in timeframe. Rumours of Google latest version of Android suggest that the update will offer native support for fingerprint scanners.

I just moved in like a month ago and was put with these three girls who are a bit younger than me and are best friends from high school. I recently came across a pic on social media of a texting conversation with their old roommate which they are also friends with. It was talking about how they are getting a new roommate (me) and that they hate me already and that I'm old af just because I graduated. Like I just turned 21 and I graduated a year early because I got a lot of college credits in high school. They also picked on me for things that they found creeping on my fb profile. I really don't know what to do I don't know how to continue living with people who hate me without even knowing me. What should I do?
Most Helpful Guy
They "hate" you because you're not their old roommate or some other childish reason. My advice to you is be the adult here and try your best to ignore them. Despite being slightly older you're essentially living with children here. Roommates are just that and you're not supposed to by friends here.11|00|0
I get what you are saying but even before I found out about what they were saying behind my back Im miserable here. Like they are literally so loud late at night and have no consideration.
My friend went tocollege late, she was like 27 at the time. Her 5 female roommates where all like 18-20. She went through the same thing. She eventually won over one of the girls with her kindness. I would STRONGLY suggest you move off campus when July comes around.
Haha Im actually off campus already in an apartment. I can try to switch units though. Like I could do what other people are saying and ignore them but like what I said about them being loud its just not fair and they are such children.
Most Helpful Girl
I have a Relative who, like any Place with a new Face, Moves in with Other guys, Keeps to Himself and doesn't Bother with Anyone, Hun.. Maybe it is what you should do. Stay Clear here, dear.
They sound Childish and way too Immature for you. Either find a New place or just do Your own thing and Consider the Sore Source.
Good luck. xx
*I saw your July deal. Keep to yourself, stay in your room and occupy your time outside the house with other Friends who are Not Fair Weather Backstabbing ones. xx
- Show AllShow Less
Stay to yourself, hun, until your lease runs out. After awhile, no one will pay any mind to you. xx

26. Jonestown
Jenkins Jones established Jonestown as a community of free African-Americans in antebellum years. Jenkins and other free blacks wished to improve their destiny through education, so they founded a school and hired teachers to stay in the community and teach their children. The courageous Jonestown residents had the common bond of faith in God, which gave them hope for their future. They used this faith to empower themselves to create positive change for themselves. The people of Jonestown may have had connections in assisting Harriet Tubman and her rescue missions. Today, descendants of the original founders of Jonestown are successful professionals with firm roots in this community.

- Great San Bernardino Birthday Party
- (Colored Vinyl, Orange)
- Artist: John Fahey
- Format: LP
- Release Date: 3/18/2016
CCVinyl.com - Collectors' Choice Vinyl
|your cart is empty
Limited edition orange colored vinyl LP pressing. Originally released in 1966. Fahey's never recorded an album that was more thoroughly of it's moment. From the groovy flute and twangy sitar accompaniment to the backwards guitar, this Birthday Party is a charmingly trippy 60s time capsule. But it isn't a two dimensional one. The album gains immense depth from the tension between his sweeping, finger picked melodies and discordant string-battery. It's the audible battle between yearned for rose colored luminescence and ankle blistering hellhound darkness that enables this record to transcend it's hippie dreaminess.

Many of us try to read as many of blogville's blogs as we can, but there really just aren't enough hours in the day to do so. So, we pick and choose the blogs that we won't skip no matter what, the blogs of our personal people on blogville that loyalty and/or genuine interest in the blogger's life makes us read. But apart from these, how do you decide what other blogs to read? Well here are my confessions regarding blog reading:
- If the blog is fiction, and consists of stories that are many parts long (greater than two parts), I don't read those entries. There are two reasons for this: first, I don't like to start reading a story that I can't commit to finishing (I feel the same way about books), and I would forget details of an instalment before the next one came out which would result in me having to reread the previous entry before moving on. I guess really it's the time involved in reading those blogs that stops me. I do read the non-story entries and (usually) comment on those though.
- I don't read purely poetry blogs as regularly as other blogs because sometimes I don't know how to comment on poems, especially if the writer has a common theme, meaning that most of my comments would be quite similar.
- If the blogger types lyk dis all d tym, it just makes me feel old, so of course I have to avoid such blogs to maintain my illusion of youth.
- There are 79 entries by Nigerian bloggers on my google reader that I have yet to read, and I try to comment on every entry I read. My comments are usually longer than a few lines, so it takes me a long time to get through all the blogs.
- Although I have mentioned being single once or twice (or three times), blogs that focus on all the men the blogger is trying to decide between are fun to read but I often don't feel I have much to comment on, because to me the obvious choice is well, obvious. I enjoy the stories though.
- Fashion blogs inspire me, and I read some, but often don't have much to contribute so I don't usually comment.
- I rarely read political blogs. I respect their writers and their analysis of what is going on in Nigeria, but I still haven't developed a real interest in politics.
How many individual blogs do you keep track of? Do you have any blog-related confessions?

we're finally starting to get our first taste of spring weather, and while transitional fashion can be a bit tricky, i'm never shy about wearing the current season, regardless of temperature, where everyone can see it – on my fingernails. polish trends are funny and while i certainly love the excitement of a new color collection and the hottest must-have shade, when pressed to choose a color in the manicure chair, i tend to gravitate toward what i like.
here are my picks for the four best spring polish shades:
butter london ladybird, $15
this one originally launched as a fashion week exclusive in february and i could not get my own bottle fast enough. the shade is a striking, opaque tomato red with all of the tender loving care you've come to appreciate from butter london, plus the long wear time. it's perfect for both fingers and toes and flatters all skin tones beautifully.
treat collection in outdoors, $18
more than just a gorgeous bottle, treat collection is a nontoxic polish that is all glam. with a sophisticated range of colors, including this striking kelly green, these pretty polishes are one of my favorite new self indulgences. they dry quick, last for an impressively long time, but the glossy shine is where they really get me! so. much. shine.
sheswai good vibes, $16
sunshine yellow nails are not for the timid, but man are they fun. whenever i get gutsy enough to layer on this particular polish, the compliments just don't stop coming. i still maintain that sheswai's lacquers are among my very favorites – practically painting my nails on their own without effort. good vibes, their latest release, is all that and more.
zoya wendy, $9
from their new tickled collection for summer '14, zoya's juicy summer melon has a creamy finish that just won't quit. it's a cool-toned pink that tends to make you look more tan than you are (bonus!). the formula is one that i adore – just two coats is enough for the perfect coverage, and in a pink you can totally skip your base and top coat. so, so good.

I think it is officially fall – hooray! Woke up early, walked to the Greenmarket for fresh clams and mint. Lunch: Melissa Clark's recipe of linguine with littlenecks, roasted tomatoes and caramelized garlic. Sounds simple enough, and yet so luxurious. It's a blessing to walk up University Place in the mornings, the quiet allows for time to think, even if only for a few short blocks. An honest email (always appreciated) I received from a longtime reader was on my mind. She said this blog feels less "real" than it used to, back when I just moved to NYC and everything was exciting and more…spirited.
So I've been combing though my archives and unnerves me a little to see that maybe she is right. In some ways at least. If you look through the older posts – the really old ones, everything had genuine energy. It was also a lot more personal, and I'm still trying to find a balance between professional and personal (six years blogging, you'd think I'd have this part down at the very least). She ended the email with, could it be you're jaded?
That is the worst possible answer: jaded. People who live here love to say that they're "jaded," like it's a good thing, like it makes them a Real New Yorker. If that's the case, I'm working on it, working on the process of un-jading. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. There's so much change and constant discovery in NYC…if anything, the people who live here should be the least jaded ;)
By the way, you really have to try this pasta recipe. It was my first time cooking with clams (!!!) and certainly won't be my last. Tiny tomatoes are roasted with smashed garlic in the oven. Lots of white white, olive oil, fried garlic, red chili flakes, and a finish of torn fresh mint. Involves more effort than the pasta dishes I usually make, but well worth it.
So. While we ponder more, let's get apple cider on the stove. I like the one they sell at Red Jacket Orchards. Slide in a cinnamon stick. And make at least one valiant attempt to to get through my
pile mountain of unread books. All that's missing is a fireplace.
And the evening? It's been a while (over two years, in fact!) since I've had a cave day. So that what I'll be doing. Light those 007 Tocca candles – obsessed! Chicken soup with extra carrots (one day I'll start making my own stock), and baguette with this Fourme d'Aigle blue cheese on the side.
Off to find our copy of Two Days in Paris…fairly certain Pierre buried it in the closet after I watched it one too many times. Julie Delpy is seriously awesome and the movie is set in Paris, love indeed. Have a good weekend everyone.

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.
I made this guild to help people play Brand, because I noticed that there weren't many good brand guides out there at all. Read, comment, and rate please. :D
His abilities are:
Blaze (Passive): Brand's spells light his targets ablaze, dealing 2% of their maximum Health in magic damage per second for 4 seconds.
Sear: Brand launches a ball of fire forward that deals magic damage. If the target is ablaze, the target will be stunned for 2 seconds.
Pillar of Flame: After a short delay, Brand creates a pillar of flame at a target area, dealing magic damage to enemy units with the area. Units that are ablaze take an additional 25% damage.
Conflagration: Brand conjures a powerful blast at his target, dealing magic damage to them. If the target is ablaze, the conflagration spreads to nearby enemies.
Pyroclasm (Ultimate): Brand unleashes a devastating torrent of fire, dealing damage each time it bounces. If a target is ablaze, Pyroclasm's missile speed increases.
Brand is a beast mid.
Brand has soooooooo much damage output.
He totally destroys characters with lots of HP, his passive.
He has an auto ignite for every ability.
Brand has a very good harass.
Three out of his four abilities are AOE, so he is very good in team fights.
Brand is a very squishy champion.
Brand is often focused.
Does not have many escaping mechanisms.
Gets ganked a lot.
Can NOT stay in lane at medium-low health, VERY dangerous even under the turret.
Easily countered, his main ablities are skill shots, his stun and his W.
Terrible mana problem.
For runes, i go for magic pen marks, mana regen per 5 seconds seals, flat ability power glyphs, and flat ability power quints. This helps me kinda spam my W (pillar of flame) to farm.
Masteries, 22/0/9, for the mana regen, and as much damage possible. The 22 in offense is quite useful as I get both of the parts which increase my damage by %.
Summoner Spells
For your summoner spells, just like any other mid or burst character, go for flash and ignite. Flash and ghost are possible i guess but for that first blood or to finish someone off, get the ignite, it helps.
Skill Sequence
For the skills sequence it is basically first his W, then his E, then his Q and W until level 6 where you upgrade his Ulti, and so his Q and E are upgraded AFTER his W his done. His W his basically a farming and scaring away spell, especially for Top lane and that is the lane I prefer. In other words, max W then E and finally Q. Level up your ulti whenever you can.
For items, you have the max amount of damage. Every item just gives plain old ability power WHICH IS AWESOME. Zhonya's is your only defensive item, use it in any sticky situations, but can be substituted for a Banshee's Veil. Brand does have a mana problem, but instead of buying items, get the blue buff, it will help A LOT.
To farm, use your W a lot. Use it so it hits minions and enemy champions, lowering their health, and granting you experience and gold. You will run out of mana, but Brand's mana regen is really fast so just don't worry. It'll come back. Keep doing this until like level 7 or 8 and then you are ready to gank someone. A word of advice, try not to go through the jungle alone, as I have gotten ganked many times there as I was going to the middle lane. Running out of mana for Brand as I said isn`t a problem, but if you are going for a gank, just check on your mana. Don`t fight one on one, it is too dangerous especially against a dps, and even if you turret hug, don`t stay in the lane with low health. It is way too dangerous. Your basic attacks don`t do much damage to minions so you only way to get money is your W then E. This hits almost all the minions and kills them so lots of money and experience for you.
How To Play (Laning)
For Brand, you want to harass harass harass. Your W just takes off like a bar and a half at least of their health, but make sure you dont waste it on like 2 minions or so. Use it at the beginning of a minion wave and just last hit until the wave has been cleared. Farm as much as you can, recall when they do, and when your jungler is going for blue, get him to give it to you (let you last hit the Blue Golem). Team fights, Brand ROCKS. Stay in the back and just do your combo, W then E then R then Q to stun someone. Mid lane is where Brand totally dominates. He is beast mid and this is where you should play him all the time.
To sum it all up, Brand's main ability is his W, use it as much as you can. When you are ganked, your W then Q will stun them, saving you. Don't dissapoint me by playing a ****py Brand, it is embarassing to all of us other Brand players so that our team will get mad when we play him and won't want us to play Brand.

These utensils can be found in any dental office, with a high rate of probability that the dentist will use them during your next routine dental check-up. Together they form a minimal dental kit used by any dentist when performing regular clinical exams, a.k.a. his or her basic hand instruments. Newer home-use dental kits for dental care and self examination are now easily available for patients to buy from pharmacies and supermarkets, and include some of the dental tools and appliances you can find in a real dental office. They are a good opportunity to begin the study of professional dental instruments.
A mouth mirror can be simple or double sided (i.e. reflective on either one or both sides), flat or concave, usually round shaped and attached at the end of a regular handle. Like any other mirror, a mouth mirror can be used to reflect light, while some of these devices even have their own source of light. It is often used by dentists to gain a better view of places inside the patient's mouth that would otherwise be inaccessible, obscured, difficult or even impossible to view. Mouth mirrors are mostly examination instruments, but can incidentally be used in other purposes as well, such as to retract cheeks or tongue during diverse medical procedures, and ensure both visibility and safety throughout the process.
Dental explorers are exploration instruments or probes, with one two active tips, used by your dentist to touch the surface of the tooth in order to find and diagnose early decay of the dental enamel, infiltrations behind old fillings or other restorative works such as dental inlays and dental crowns. A dental explorer can be used to evaluate the degree of sensitivity or lack of sensitivity of a tooth, as a control factor during certain stages of a root canal procedure.
Dentists also use cone-shaped flexible explores for a wide range of procedures, such as introducing medication on the root canal; these flexible probes also have a role in evaluation and diagnose, such as spotting out cracks on the ceiling of the pulp chamber.
Myth buster: Sickle probes are NOT used to poke your gums!
Sickle probe see Dental explorers
Periodontal probes are used in measuring the distance between the tooth and the gums. The distance must not range above 3mm deep: if it does, your dentist will probably tell you that you've got some form of periodontal disease.
Dental tweezers are double instruments, with two active arms in various angles and shapes, to serve multiple tasks. They are not radically different from the tweezers you've probably got in your own home. Dentists usually handle them to pick sterile objects and supplies, as well as small dental instruments, or to apply and remove cotton rolls and gauze.

Summary: Neji held her lithe figure in his arms, taking in her sweet aroma. "You'll always be my perfect heiress, Hinata..." She let herself relax, giving her older cousin everything she had to offer. Itachi's lips melted passionately into Sasuke's, both moving as one. Sasuke pulled away, glaring at his older brother. "Perfect heir my ass! Just fuck me, for God's sake."
Pairings: ItaSasu, NejiHina, ItaHina, some accidental ItaShisui, one-sided NejiTenten, HizashiHikari, one-sided HiashiHikari...
Warning: Graphic sex, some BDSM, lemons, yaoi, incest, etc. Perhaps some blood and gore if I'm in the mood. Rated M for a reason, you know.
Note: Hikari is Hiashi's wife and Hizashi's sin. Fourth Hokage is alive. The Akatsuki will play a very small part in this story. Mostly featuring the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan.
The perfect heiress.
That's what she needed to be.
She balanced three hardcover books on her head, trying not to let them topple. She had to get this right. If the books fell, then she would fall along with them. It'd be a shame if she fell at this point. She had just managed to work up the strength to finally stand up, too.
Hiashi had finally let Hinata become heiress again. She was so happy, so grateful. All these years, all those painful years trying to get his approval, and she finally got it. She never thought she would, she never thought it was even possible.
But it was.
And is.
Which is why she couldn't fall. If she fell, she would definitely just lose it and kill herself.
I can't think about suicide! I need to focus. Poise. Elegance. Gracefulness. Perfection.
She took languid steps back and forth, trying so hard that it hurt. And it did. The strain in her neck, the weight on her head, the ache in her back... Not to mention the burden on her shoulders. She just couldn't her father down.
Or her family.
Or her friends.
Or herself.
But especially not Neji-nii-san. His disappointment would stab her in the heart a million times. He helped her get to where she was today. He always cheered her on, helped her up, motivated her...
Oh, and he rewarded her.
Gods, she was blushing just at the thought of the little treats he gave her every time she did something that pleased him. And she pleased him a lot.
But he wasn't little.
No, not at all.
Damn it! She couldn't get sidetracked with her thoughts like this! That's exactly why Hanabi was almost the Hyuuga Heiress instead of her. She needed to focus her ass off if she was going to be the Hyūga Heiress.
What was that acronym she was taught again? Oh yeah, it was G.E.M.P., wasn't it? Grace, Elegance, Manners, and Poise.
She sauntered around, trying to give off the impression that she was completely relaxed and wasn't even trying. If it appeared that she was trying too hard, then it would mean she wasn't perfect. And she had to be perfect.
Perfection was everything.
The timer rang, cuing a round of a gentle applause. Except for Naruto. He decided to clap like crazy. What else would you expect from that hyperactive blond, though?
She didn't flinch. It was a part of the training to keep a calm composure all the time. She gave a gentle smile to the audience around her, and slowly removed the books from her head, slowly walked over to a table at the side as if the books were still on top of her head, and slowly gave a small perfect curtsy before slowly joining her friends.
All of her pains started to fade away at that moment.
Well, mostly because of the books.
"Man, Hinata, that was so cool! Must be tough having those freakin' 7-pound books on your head like that!" Kiba praised her. The Konoha 12, as they liked to call themselves, attended Hinata's Heiress Training to give their support. Sasuke was absent; currently at home with his older brother. She nodded at Kiba's statement.
You have no idea.
"Must be even tougher having that stick up your ass, too, ne, Hinata-chan?" Naruto commented. Hinata's face reddened at this. Neji glared at Naruto. To Neji, Naruto was a threat. He could steal her away any second.
Sakura's fist twitched. Why did he have to be such an idiot at a place like this? Hiashi Hyūga was in the room, for crying out loud!
"I'm pretty sure you'd like to be the one to stuff that stick up her ass, Naruto-kun," Sai responded cheekily. Naruto blushed, and Hinata's blush deepened. Sakura released all of her irritation on Sai in one single punch, knocking Sai back. "You perverted moron!" she yelled at the Root member.
"Explain to me why we brought him along," Kiba requested. Seriously, what the hell was he doing here? Nobody even liked him. "I really have no idea. He's such a troublesome guy, you know," Shikamaru answered.
Hiashi ambled towards the group of teenagers, instantly silencing all conversations. His aura was heavy, almost murderous, intimidating all of them. You were walking on eggshells whenever you spoke with him. "You did well, Hinata. Tomorrow, we'll be focusing on your fighting skills," he informed her.
He's... proud of me.
Hinata was both exhilarated and anxious at this information. That meant that there would be no more tedious lectures of manners and behavior. Yay! However, that also meant that she'll be on the brink of death tomorrow. Boo!
"Hai, Hiashi-sama," Hinata confirmed. Hiashi then departed, along with the tense atmosphere. The Konoha 12 (minus Sasuke) let out a breath that they were holding. They felt that if they breathed around him, then they'd get scolded for breathing in the incorrect manner. Naruto even fainted once.
"It must suck having to refer to your own dad as if he was an important stranger," the Inuzuka remarked. Hinata's gloom deepened, though she tried to not make it seem visible. She was raised by her mother and uncle. Hiashi never played the paternal role that he was supposed to. "You get used to it."
Neji could sense Hinata's depression. She's always been sensitive to topics that related to her bond with Hiashi. He should cheer her up, shouldn't he? "We should get something to eat, Hinata-sama," he suggested.
He smirked as he noticed that she faked a cough, obviously attempting to be subtle about hiding the blush she got after the slight emphasis on her name. "Hai, Neji-nii-san." Perhaps he was the only one who was able to detect the slight stutter she had. She was getting better in hiding it, though.
The perfect heir.
That's what he needed to be.
That's what he already is, though. He easily lived up to the standards forced upon him. That's exactly why Itachi Uchiha was merely sipping iced tea in his kitchen instead of going through tedious training sessions. He's already been through that hell when he was 5. Now, he only had to sit back and relax while he waited for his dear father to age before taking the throne.
It gets stressful having to be pressured to be perfect all the time, though. That's where Sasuke came in. He was that one sin he allowed himself to indulge in every night, like a rare delicacy that only he could partake in.
Even if he decided that he wasn't fit to be heir of darkness– pardon me, the Uchiha clan, he could always let his younger brother shine. He didn't want his little angel to suffer like he did, though. Perhaps Shisui could be the one to relieve the weight he carried on his shoulders.
No, he could handle it. Besides, it's not like Fugaku is going to retire so early. He was just as stubborn with retirement as his eldest son was with sharing sweets. It's a trait that's been passed down to Sasuke, who refuses to let Itachi merciless fuck anybody's ass that wasn't his.
Ah, yes. What a beautiful flaw Itachi had. He smiled blissfully as he slowly drank the iced beverage in his left hand.
"Nii-san..." Sasuke moaned out. The smile transformed into a smirk as he directed his gaze towards his wanton younger brother. Of course, the glass was irrelevant to the situation at hand. What really mattered was the fact that his right hand was making deliberate, teasing movements on the bulge under the table.
"Hai, Otouto?" The sentence ended with a rather rough squeeze of Sasuke's arousal. The younger male groaned softly, thrusting his hips up into the hand petting him. They were home alone, but Sasuke didn't know that. Itachi knew how much his brother got off by trying to be secretive. "Fuck me now," Sasuke demanded lustfully.
Itachi remained silent, contemplating the request. He was tempted to fulfill the request, but just as tempted to deny. He sipped from his glass thoughtfully. Listening to Itachi's sips and gulps only made Sasuke even more impatient.
Both of Itachi's hands rested on the table. The younger brother made a whining noise in disapproval. "Isn't the Hyuuga heiress going to have her first real training session from her father tomorrow?" he brought up.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. Does that really matter right now, or does he just want to piss him off? "I don't understand why an audience is required," he complained. Itachi lifted his glass, only to recall that he already drank his final sip. He poured himself more iced tea.
"Fujiwara-sama will be there," the elder Uchiha answered simply. "So?" Sasuke moved the cup a couple centimeters so that the pitcher poured the beverage into the cup and not on the table. Is that bastard going blind, or something?
"The Hyuuga heiress' mother will be there," Itachi rephrased. "Our mother's childhood friend and rival." All of a sudden, an image of a lake on fire flashed into Sasuke's head. How the fuck did she manage to do that? And, God! Those two's definition of a friendly spar is insane!
"She's going to be assisting?" he assumed. Itachi shook his head. "Supervising... But she's rather chaotic when she's in the same room as her husband." Basically, they're going to have to make sure nobody dies.
That's going to be fun...
Married couples always argue, but Hikari and Hiashi are on the verge of divorce. It's been confirmed that it was originally arrange marriage. Couples with arranged marriages can only get divorced under special circumstances. Rumor has it that Hikari has been begging for divorce for years, but Hiashi still clings to the pathetic thought that their fragile marriage could still be saved. It's no wonder that Hinata is such a quiet and shy girl.
Sasuke groaned. Not in arousal, but in annoyance of the upcoming event. He was completely turned off. "Do we have to go?" he whined.
Itachi sighed. He completely understood his younger brother's immature attitude. Actually, Sasuke isn't required to go, but Itachi is. As the Uchiha heir, it is mandatory for him to attend events like these. "Don't you want to support Hinata-san? Your other friends are going."
Sasuke smirked. Those words didn't exactly confirm that he was needed. Itachi's facade was easily seen through. "I will drag you there against your will, Sasuke."
"Do you know how many people Hikari has killed recently?" Sasuke inquired. Itachi raised an eyebrow. He shook his head slowly. "Well, neither do I."
...Good point...
"You'll meet a lot of interesting people there." Sasuke scoffed. "Like who? I hate people." Itachi rolled his eyes at his brother. He acts antisocial, but he's ironically one of the most popular guys in Konoha. "The Hokage and his jinchuuriki wife, all of the clan heads in Konoha and their heirs, the Child of Misfortune, the one with dual dojutsu, two out of the three Legendary Sannin, and anyone else in Konoha with a famous title."
"They're all needed to restrain Hikari if she goes wild?" Sasuke asked incredulously. "Hopefully not, but the more the merrier... It'll be more like an outdoor lunch party."
Sasuke obstinately crossed his arms. "I'm still not going." Itachi drummed his fingers on the table. The only other option he has now is seducing him, and Sasuke can be very frigid when he wants to.
An idea suddenly popped into his head. "They'll be serving many tomato dishes."
"You never mentioned a time."
Next chapter shall definitely have sex.

If there is something worth placing a wager on this week, take a trip to one of our best online sportsbooks and check out some of the great NCAA Basketball action being offered. Every day of the week so far has provided sports fans with the crazy action that no sport has quite like college hoops does. After seeing the Duke Blue Devils get absolutely routed an exciting Clemson Tigers team, #17 Texas going down to Missouri, and Wake Forest falling from grace almost weekly with another loss this time by unranked Miami, college hoops definitely shows that there is no lack of shake-ups, upsets, and great sportsbook betting action for all to share in.
I must confess that I already miss the NFL playoffs now knowing that it will be another 6 months for more football to begin again, but with March Madness is just right around the corner, I will be spending the rest of the month trying to stock up enough winnings in our best online sportsbooks and casinos reviewed here to place wagers on as many basketball games as possible�.and that's crazy but it will be so fun having money riding on all the NCAA tournament games! The best sports betting sites featured on CasinoReview.org have a tremendous amount of knowledge to use on your wagers, and with plenty teams already posturing for the tournament, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out some stats. I was crushed last year in my betting pool (though so was everyone else) and I am most certainly going to be as thorough as possible when picking my bets this year.
I'm off to the casinos at VIP.com (read the review of VIP.com) to play some roulette and some Blackjack this evening. I have a great feeling that the extra money that I earned this week on basketball wagers will come in handy for some extended playing time. There are so many different games offered on this and other online casinos, that I haven't even been able to play all of them yet. So I will have to get myself into something new this evening for a change of pace. I was watching Pai-Gow in Las Vegas, and I'm intrigued to try it. Come join me on our featured online casinos and game rooms for a great time this evening, or any evening for that matter. There is always a lot of fun to be had on the featured online casinos and sportsbooks we offer at CasinoReview.org.

The Collapse of the Conventional: German Film and Its Politics at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century (Contemporary Approaches to Film and Media Series) by Jennifer M. Kapczynski
English | Aug. 9, 2010 | ISBN: 081433377X | 440 Pages | PDF | 8.37 MB
While difficult questions of history, culture, and politics figured less prominently in the lighter cinematic fare of the 1980s and 1990s, German filmmakers have recaptured the world's attention since the turn of the millennium with vital, dynamic, and engaged works.
In fact, today's filmmakers have turned back to many themes that were important in the 1960s and 1970s, when a movement of young filmmakers proclaimed the collapse of existing filmmaking conventions. In , editors Jaimey Fisher and Brad Prager present contributions from prominent German film studies scholars to examine the current politically charged and provocative moment in German filmmaking historically, ideologically, and formally as another break with cinematic convention. Fisher and Prager introduce the volume with a look back at the history of German film to define New German Cinema and identify the themes and motives that characterize its films and filmmakers. In the first section, essays explore the cinematic treatment of German national identity in historical films, including those that confront Germany's Nazi past, such as Downfall, The Miracle of Bern, and the TV-film Dresden. The second section takes on German cinema's examination of life in East Germany and the consequences of reunification by analyzing the films Good Bye, Lenin and The Lives of Others. The Collapse of the Conventional also examines new groundbreaking work by filmmakers such as Christian Petzold, Fatih Ak?n, and Christoph Hochhäusler to investigate how German film critically approaches globalization and the end of the cold war. This collection shows that today's German filmmakers are delving into new modes of cinematic production in a global context. Students, scholars of film, and anyone interested in German and cultural studies will appreciate this volume.

ReaditLater uses a Firefox plugin to save pages to a location where they can be read at your leisure. They have an iPhone app too.
Readability is another tool that works through a bookmarklet to strip out distractions and give you a cleanly formatted page to read.
For the old school types out there, you can try the PrintWhatYouLIke bookmarklet and send a stripped down, clean page to your printer that you can read later.
PrintLiminator does a similar trick and works really nicely.
