-Detailed Study on Spread of H.I.V. in U.S.
An unusually detailed study of people newly infected with H.I.V. in the United States has confirmed that the majority of new cases occur among gay and bisexual men and that blacks are most at risk. But the data show that whites and blacks tend to be infected at different times in their lives with the virus that causes AIDS. Most new infections of white gay and bisexual men occur when the men are in their 30s and 40s, the study found, while black gay and bisexual men are more likely to be infected in their teens and 20s. The results were reported on Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

-Sarah Palin stirs passion in Hollywood
Sarah Palin represents many things Hollywood liberals love to hate, from her opposition to gay marriage to her support for gun rights, yet she possesses two key qualities they admire -- star appeal and a great script. Accordingly, Hollywood Republicans -- often overshadowed by their left-leaning peers -- are seeking to capitalize on the celebrity of John McCain's running mate in the November 4 election to generate support in a town well-known for its lavish Democratic fund-raisers and events.

-Author Leads Fight Against Ex-Gay Movement
By Carlos Santoscoy | On Top Magazine
In making his way to Anchorage, Alaska to confront, once again, a James Dobson Love Won Out ex-gay conference scheduled for Saturday, Wayne Besen stands at the vanguard of one of the most vehement battles of the gay-Christian culture war - the Christian-based ex-gay movement which seeks to "cure" homosexuals. Yet, the ex-gay movement he hopes to expose operates in relative obscurity, and with little opposition. In 2000, when Exodus Chairman John Paulk was being hailed as the golden boy of the ex-gay movement by such media heavyweights as Newsweek and CBS's 60 Minutes, Besen secretly photographed him flirting with men in a gay Washington D.C. bar and wrote about his apparent fall from grace in Anything But Straight:
Unnmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth. The revelation shocked both the ex-gay movement and the media who had glamorized it, and Paulk was subsequently removed as chairman of Exodus. Besen has since founded Truth Wins Outs, a non-profit organization that advocates against ex-gay ministries, and, more recently, RespectMyResearch.org, where social and behavioral scientists can voice their displeasure at having their research distorted and used to prop up ex-gay claims.
-Gay News from the Presidential Campaign Trail
By Lisa Keen | Pride Source
A poll just out this week shows that more registered voters trust Democrat Barack Obama on the rights of gay couples than trust Republican John McCain. The poll, conducted September 5 - 7 of 961 registered voters nationwide by the Washington Post and ABC News, asked, "Regardless of who you may support, who do you trust more to handle social issues, such as abortion and gay civil unions." Forty-eight percent said Obama; 41 percent said McCain. Five percent said "both" or "neither," and six percent were unsure. Interestingly, McCain's standing has improved on the question since the question was first asked in July, and Obama's has dropped off. Only 32 percent of those surveyed trusted McCain more on social issues in July -so the current 41 percent represents a significant boost. Meanwhile, 56 percent trusted Obama more in July - so the current 48 percent represents an eight-point drop.
Mel White, the former ghost writer for Jerry Falwell and other
right-wing televangelists, recently paid a small town in Virginia for busing supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to a local high school to hear the candidate speak. According to various reports, the town was forced to provide last-minute shuttle services from a local stadium to the high school after Jerry Falwell Jr., son of the late Falwell Sr., refused to allow rally attendees to park in the shopping mall owned by Falwell's Liberty University. White and his spouse, Gary Nixon, chipped in the $900 to pay back the town for its services.

-Mehdi reaction in the House of Lords
Lord Roberts of Llandudno: My Lords, I want to express my appreciation of the Home Secretary's action in giving asylum to Mehdi Kazemi, the young man who was to be forcefully removed to Iran. I am told that that happened yesterday. In view of what is going on in Iran and the possible treatment of those who are repatriated or forcibly removed from here, could there not be a total moratorium on the removal of failed asylum seekers to Iran?
-Insight: the hell of the asylum seeker
The Azerbaijani gay asylum seeker Babi Badalov last week sent out a plea to friends reflecting his appalling situation, caught in the fifth richest country in the world, between destitution and possible honor killing (actually more than possible, his relatives have already made threats). A situation which the Home Office, backed by the Daily Mail etc. considers 'civilised'. Babi is currently trying to get his case reviewed having been turned down on the basis that he can be 'discreet' once he's 'sent back' (a passive way of describing what will actually happen to this remarkable artist).
-So-called 'honour' killings are a deadly serious issue in numerous countries for lesbians and gays, in particular Iraq but also Turkey, Palestine, Pakistan, Gambia, Brazil, Mexico and others. There have been cases in the UK of gay asylum seekers also been attacked for similar reasons.
-A Christian fleeing from Nigeria, where the Church supports anti-gay legislation, was granted asylum in the UK last Friday after receiving death threats. Davis Mac-Iyalla, director of Changing Attitude Network (Nigeria), who left the country in 2006, said that he could now work in safety to further the welfare of other Nigerians who were lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transsexual. Mr Mac-Iyalla, who addressed a fringe meeting at the Lambeth Conference onTuesday, said that he could introduce bishops who denied that there were anygay Africans to several homosexuals from Africa. Homosexuality had existedin Africa long before Westerners arrived, he said. "Homosexuality was knownin Africa: what was not known was Christianity. But the missionaries came and said it was a sin. It is not homosexuality that is a Western thing."

Sullivan should probably recognize that a press corps trying to wrangle aninterview with an elusive V.P. candidate (and hamstrung by a McCain campaignpetrified of a "General Whatshisname" moment) isn't at all analogous to astate-run media run by an illiberal band of Putin lackeys. As I havepreviously written, throwing the word "fascist" around willy-nilly isintellectually lazy and, more often than not, historically illiterate. Butso is accusing the American media of being no better than outlets controlledby the Kremlin, or those remaining independent journalists whose reportingis influenced by credible threats of violence. Who is he kidding? We havesomeone who could be elected vice-president in less than two months andtomorrow it will be two weeks since she was anounced and still no-one in thepress is allowed to even ask her a question in an uncontrolled setting. Thishas never, ever happened before in modern American politics. Never. Giventhe fact that she is a total unknown, given that the convention was verylate historiclaly, given that we have less than two months to figure out whoto vote for, the denial of access is both an outrage to transparency anddemocracy and also, deeply, deeply troubling about what it says about whatthe McCain camp believes is her competence level. Yes, this is the spiritof Vladimir Putin. I wrote not that we were living in Putin's Russia butthat John McCain is giving us a "taste" of what that's like. John McCain -the man who prided himself on access, on answering any question, on talkingto the press, even when we'd grown a little bored of talking to him. Whathappened to that guy? Who kidnapped him and replaced him with this creepy,sealed off, bullying press management? We, of course, have a FirstAmendment. It's just that John McCain is treating it with contempt.

Tips Of Identifying University Of Minnesota Housing Off Campus
April 3, 2016 by Michael Adams
Filed under Education
Searching for a good place to live at the beginning of the semesters is quite a challenge to many students. In many institutions of higher learning, learners opt to reside outside the school where their freedom is not restricted. The presence of modern university of Minnesota housing off campus facilities has made it easy for these learners to get high quality residence. The houses are many in number hence serve a big population of students who are enrolled each year.
The high demand of houses that is experienced a few weeks before studies resume is something many people can avoid. It is important to start looking for a place to stay before the opening days are close. You will have plenty of time to go round the apartments and choose the best one. You can easily avoid the struggles by settling early before the rest start coming around.
Another thing that students are advised to look at when determining apartments to rent is the rent fee charged. Houses that have been designed to houses students vary in sizes and the quality of interior designing. Choosing a good house that is easy to meet the monthly charges is recommended. Where the cost per unit is very high, you can rent one with your friend hence share the cost.
Many houses meant for students have been designed in a unique way. Plenty of space is provided to make living more comfortable. Depending on the number of items that require to be arranged in the house, choose a house with enough space. If the room is shared by a number of people, larger houses will be more appropriate for a better living.
The accessibility of an apartment from the main road is another factor to consider. For the sake of convenience, choose that building that is located near the institution. One benefit of doing this is reduced costs when it comes to attending school. This is also very convenient on days when you need to go to school very early in the morning or come when it is very late.
A student looking for an apartment to rent is required to evaluate the safety of that area of preference. There are some residential areas round the institution that are quite risky and could be dangerous for learners. It is important to rent space in a place where safety and security services are heightened. Consider a house where strong gates have been installed and entrance is restricted for non-tenants.
Finding the information about all vacant apartments has been simplified in the recent days. Many agents who live in this location have established offices where people can visit for consultation. They have information from all over the place hence you will be directed to a house with qualities you are looking for.
Several of housing units provided near the institutions are specifically designed for students only. This makes it possible to provide certain services to students at an inclusive cost. There are places where breakfast and dinner is served to the occupants on a daily basis. This can be a good place for students since the cost of living is lowered.

Most often, when your employees are sick or life takes its toll, taking paid time off is adequate; however, there are times when employees needs to take extensive time off for more serious issues. This is when the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) comes into play. FMLA took effect in 1993, in an effort to balance work and life with medical needs. FMLA includes many regulations and provisions, which can make it hard to understand. The following simple information can help you begin to understand FMLA.
Employees are entitled to take up to 12 weeks off of unpaid leave during a 12-month period if they have been working for the company for at least 12 months prior to requesting the leave, and if they have worked at least 1,250 hours over that period. Employees may take this leave for their own serious medical condition, or to take care of an immediate family member who has a serious health condition. According to federal law, immediate family members are parents, spouses, and children. Some states offer additional coverage for domestic partners, parent-in-laws, siblings, and grandparents. Additionally, FMLA may also be used for "birth and bonding:" extended parental leave for the birth or adoption, or bonding with a new foster child.
Not only must the employee be eligible for FMLA, but your company must be required to offer it as well. Your company must have at least 50 employees who work within 75 miles of the physical location to fall under the federal FMLA requirements. Many states have similar laws and regulations that overlap with the federal FMLA requirements, so prior to providing leave to employees it is important to find out what laws your state has.
If your company is required to provide FMLA and an employee requests leave, have them provide proof of the serious medical condition. Employers are not required by law to request proof, but are entitled to ask. The Department of Labor states that employers should request certification of illness at the time of FMLA request or within five business days. Once you have requested certification, the employee has 15 days to obtain proof. Employers may also contact health care providers for verification. It is important to carefully and accurately document the conditions of the leave including how long, any additional required documentation, and when the employee is expected to return.
Keep in mind that while a job is guaranteed upon return, it may not necessarily be the same job the employee had prior to taking FMLA. According to the Department of Labor website, "an employee must be restored to the employee's original job, or to an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment."

The thought of sitting back and relaxing while a robot takes care of the vacuuming for you is an appealing prospect, but are they really as good as they sound?
It seems that a growing number of you are keen to find out, with sales of robot vacuum cleaners rising by 259% in the last six months, according to new research from Appliances Direct.
Keep reading our advice on whether robot vacuum cleaners are worth the investment, and what you need to consider if you decide to buy one.
Already know you want one? Skip straight to our robot vacuum cleaner first look reviews.
Should I buy a robot vacuum cleaner?
Robot vacuum cleaners are generally expensive, with the three most recent products we've reviewed all costing between £600 and £700 – roughly double the price of a regular upright vacuum. There are cheaper models available, with one costing as little as £149, but you may not get a fully automated robot at the lower end of the market.
The most convenient models feature several cleaning modes and will automatically return to their docking stations when cleaning is complete or power is running low.
Some can be timed to clean while you are out of the house or directed with a remote control.
It's worth thinking about how much use you'd get from a robot vacuum cleaner; they're not yet designed to replace your upright model, but may save you time on cleaning.
Dyson is expected to launch its first robot vacuum – the 360 Eye – in the UK later this year, so you'll have more options to choose from if you hold out a little while longer.
Latest robot vacuum cleaners
Samsung Powerbot VR9000, £700
The Powerbot launched earlier in 2015, and features four main cleaning modes, a docking station and a remote control with a light beam that the robot will follow. The robot also comes with a 0.7 litre dust tank, a 75W motor and a 60 minute battery charge.
Read our initial impressions in our Samsung Powerbot VR6000 first look review.
Miele Scout RX1 Robot, £700
The launch of the Scout RX1 Robot in late 2014 marked Miele's first foray into the robot vacuum cleaner market. It has a 'Turbo' mode for quicker cleans, and the 2 hour battery life means that you can also use it for more thorough programs.
Discover our verdict in our Miele Scout RX1 Robot first look review.
iRobot Roomba 880, £600
iRobot claims that its latest robot vacuum cleaner, the Roomba 880, is able to pick up as much as 50% more dirt, dust and air than previous models. It includes a docking station and 'cliff' sensors, which stop it from falling down the stairs.
See what we made of it in our iRobot Roomba 880 first look review.

I asked a question about being used for sex and I got answers from some men stating the only reason I get used for sex and money is because I'm a single mom and that's interesting to me. Men do you really think that singe mom's are only good for sex and have to either "settle" and be in an unhappy relationship with a loser who just wants to use her or wait until she's old and feeble to have a real stable relationship with someone?
Most Helpful Guy
I think a dating site that was exclusive to single parents could do well.
But, to answer your question, of course not. The thing is that most single guys are just after sex, and with you being a single mother, they think it is safe to assume you:
1) like sex
2) probably don't have a lot of options
So, the guys who just want sex may seem to converge on you. Whereas the guys who are interested in a relationship may not be interested in raising someone else's children (unless they have some of their own - then it's "fair").10|10|0
Well this is a standstill because I never meet a guy who has kids of his own that isn't still living with or screwing his baby mom. I might as well sip my wine and accept that I will be alone forever and just be open to hookups.
well, as the kid reaches more manageable ages, this will be a far less significant factor for guys who want relationships.
I'd rather just give up at this point. I kind of wanted to be married at a certain age anyway and I'm not so...

I know it sounds crazy but I smiled and giggled through the entire labor. The nurses kept telling me they've never seen any mom so smiley during labor. I smiled so hard my cheeks hurt. After 15 minutes of pushing Caroline literally popped out at 4:42 p.m. and Matt cut the cord! She came so fast and the sound of her first little cry made my entire world stop and time stood still in that moment. She was immediately placed onto my chest while the nurses wiped her down and there she stayed for the next hour. Within minutes of being placed on my chest we locked eyes and Caroline gave me the best present I could ever receive - her first smile. Her beautiful eyes were wide open and she was incredibly alert as she reached up and touched my face over and over again.
Thank you all for your prayers and support through our pregnancy and labor. The emails, calls, texts, blog comments, flower deliveries, gifts, cards and visitors have poured in these past 10 days and we feel so loved and blessed.

Hot Weather Hiking Tips
Hot weather can mean different things. It can be seasonal, for example, Summer is upon us, at least for those of us in
the Northern Hemisphere any way. Depending on where you are that can
mean hot and humid, hot and dry, scorching hot, or hot and
thunderstorms. It can also be based on location, desert, jungle, tropical rainforests, etc. Regardless of where or when you find yourself in hot weather, can you still get your hikes in?
Here are a few tips I've found that work for me.
These are the mesh hiking shoes I use. The grip is fantastic without it being a "hot shoe" as well. Five Ten is a climbing shoe company so they know how to make their shoes stick to all sorts of terrain.
Top 5 Tips
1. Dress accordingly. This doesn't always mean wearing shorts & tank tops (or for guys, no shirt), if you're going to have a lot exposure to the sun you might think about bringing a moisture wicking long sleeve shirt to cover up in. I've been cooler wearing my white long sleeve sun shirt than bare arms at times. While we're talking about covering up, think about other parts of your body as well. Cover your head, neck and some of your shoulders with the shade from a brimmed sun hat. Think about your footwear as well. Hiking shoes with a lot of mesh panels or Chaco sandals are my top footwear choices for when the temperature rises. I'll sometimes wear Injinji sock liners with my Chacos on a longer hike where and to be especially careful about not getting blisters. Speaking of blisters, I try to air out my feet when I can on a hot day, for example if we take a long sit down lunch break. Wet feet can mean blisters (and smelly hiking shoes!).
2. Shift your hiking schedule. My friends and I tend to shift to an early morning hike if the weather's going to be really hot. Not only is this a good idea to beat the heat but it's also particularly advisable if you are hiking in high exposed terrain somewhere where afternoon thunderstorms can develop, for example in mountainous areas like the Sierra Mountain range in California. Locally in Southern California, we'll sometimes hike early, take an afternoon break just having lunch, enjoying the view, etc and then hike back in the evening. Always having a headlamp in your pack gives you great options.
3. Drink a lot of liquids. I think we all know how important water is
when you're hiking. Bring more than usual on hot hikes though. I like to
bring "Sports drinks" on summer hikes, I find the flavor helps me drink
more which helps me hydrated. This is also one time my body really can use the electrolytes in the drink as well. There
are two ways I might bring a sports drink. One tip a friend shared with
me is to bring a small packet of the powdered version of a drink, then you can decide how
strong you want to make mix the drink and you have the option of just sticking to
water for a bit longer and saving the powder for later. The second way (and my favorite way) to bring a sports drink is as a frozen drink. I freeze a Gatorade bottle before a hiking day and
then I have a nice slushy/cold drink during my hike! I also love using a drinking tube hydration system, this lets me sip a bit of water without stopping to get a bottle out of my pack.
4. Hike in the shade. Seek the shade! This is how I was able to hike and climb in Joshua Tree National Park in August. Do a bit of research before heading to a new place and find out if any trails will be partially or fully shaded. If you can't research before you got to a place, ask some locals. A nice waitress in Mammoth steered my friends and I to a new climbing crag with advice for shade. We were quite grateful for it.
5. Wear sunscreen. I've got genetics working for me in this department but I still put on a bit of sunscreen. Pay special attention to the tops of your shoulders if you're wearing a tank top or going shirtless. Also put some on the tops of your feet if they are exposed and the tops of your ears.
There you go, my top 5 tips for hiking in warm weather. What's your favorite way to beat the heat and keep getting outdoors?
Excellent tips. Recently I hiked 27 miles on a near 100 degree day. I started out at 6 AM, took a nap in a shelter from 2 to 5 PM, and then continued from 6 to 9 PM. I went through several liters of water and two packets of Propel.
Very good advice, so many people get into strife out in the bush because they do not realize the dangers especially of dehydration.
hi Eileen, I spent last July in the Pyrenees on the French and Spanish sides, we walked early in the day and found that to be a blessing. Also has you gained height up to 3000mts the sun is so much stronger- good advice about sun cream and i lived for 3 wks in my hat.lol
Really great advice! Thanks :)

New Delhi, Sept. 9: Differences have emerged over the impact of inflation on the common man, with the Opposition and the Left at odds with the Congress-led government on the issue.
Left leaders as well as the Opposition BJP are planning mass campaigns, aware of the role prices played in influencing the outcome of the state assembly polls last year.
Economists at North Block, on the other hand, are highlighting their contribution and that of the Reserve Bank of India in bringing down inflation to a 16-month low of 3.79 per cent.
Monetary and fiscal policies, the North Block mandarins claim, have checked what threatened to be a bout of galloping inflation at the beginning of the year. At that time, inflation had crossed 6.7 per cent.
Former Planning Commission member S.P. Gupta said, The truth is somewhere in between. Price rise has been checked but prices which have already gone up have not come down in retail stores even if they have in wholesale markets. Gupta calls this price stickiness, and if this remains for some time, the common man accepts the higher prices as a benchmark.
Sudipto Bose, a retail market analyst, says discontent arises when prices go up suddenly. If they had gone up eight to 10 months back and then remained steady, people would start accepting them as the new benchmark. Any small fall after that could in fact result in a feel-good factor, Bose said.
So when CPI MP Gurudas Dasgupta talks of fire in the marketplace, in comparing current prices with last years, he may not necessarily be voicing popular perception.
However, for the government, the relatively comfortable position on the price front is a hard won situation that can come unstuck at any stage.
Oil prices have already crossed $76 in the global market. Though the country has a policy of subsidising auto fuels, it cannot afford to forever keep a rein on prices.
Petroleum ministry officials are expecting at least a token hike in the prices of auto fuels sometime later this month or after the festive season. The pressure to increase the price of auto fuels will probably go up in the months ahead as the US and Europe raise their purchases to meet their demands of heating fuel for winter.
Good rains, too, have failed to dampen price fears. Though there is a possibility of a record harvest, prices may go up because of the opening up of commodities markets that allows large traders to take up speculative positions in grain and cash crops.
There is also the problem of buoyancy of foreign exchange inflows and domestic demand. This means that despite RBIs money tightening measures, the economy remains plagued by fears of a price spiral as more rupees continue to chase a limited stock of goods.
The economy grew at its fastest in 18 years at over 9 per last fiscal, fuelling demand for credit, consumer goods, real estate and stocks. The net result of this situation was inflationary pressures, said Gupta
The vagaries of farming and global trade were compounded by rising credit and money supply, Gupta said.
Loans of domestic banks were higher by 30 per cent last year, with areas such as real estate and housing seeing a growth of 100 per cent and 52 per cent, respectively.
There was a surge in foreign exchange inflows, which increased by $74 billion to $225 billion in 2006-07. This added to the flow of money in circulation.
The RBI has been stepping in from time to time, tweaking either the repo rate or the cash reserve ratio. The repo rate is the rate at which the RBI injects cash into the system, while the cash reserve ratio is the portion of deposits that banks maintain with the central bank.
However, with money flowing into a booming economy, measures to tighten money supply plug the problem but does not solve it.
Traditionally, whenever too many rupees chase too few goods, prices go up. But that was not the whole inflation story ... prices of certain core goods such as cement and steel kept going up as a construction boom fuelled more demand for these commodities, Gupta said.

Edge of Tomorrow: The Superior Video Game Movie
Usually when I watch a trailer I get drawn into its short narrative and take it as veracity, believing it'll appropriately represent the larger picture. But as is often the case, the small and carefully crafted montage does not mirror the real thing. Edge of Tomorrow has the reverse issue. The trailer cannot replicate the baby steps the movie takes you on, as it holds your hand, and it cannot express all the small pieces that culminate to create a vast and intimate story.
Edge of Tomorrow is less science-fiction and more war movie in a future setting; its about a man who endlessly repeats the same day of battle after death, doing it over and over again like a double helix. The only thing that changes, is how he responds and adapts. And his name is Cage (mwhahas, yes I see what you did there).
The resulting relationship that develops between Cage and his companion who suffered the same issue, must be a field day for sociologists. Cage is the only one who retains his memory after the day resets, but time and time again he 'develops' a relationship with a decorated war hero, Rita Vrataski, one that gets more interesting the longer they survive each repetition. It's an intriguing phenomenon watching Rita interact with Cage with the knowledge that she has known him in many instances, while he does know her – the product of countless times together.
What's fascinating to me is that Edge of Tomorrow stumbles unintentionally, with ironic accuracy, upon the essence of a rival medium – video games. This medium follows a predictable format: fight, die, and repeat all over again. You learn better how to conquer the challenge and tailor your strategy accordingly. Nothing else could better help you understand the film, and no film has in turn, better portrayed gaming.
Repetitively showing the same scenes over again, easily risks becoming dreary. Not only is it used to effect, but watching Cage attempt different ideas under the same circumstance is refreshingly absorbing. Though still trepid of death, his apparent immorality encourages him to try things no sane person would, and the results are often hilarious. Despite this, the film's not so set in its ways that it forces you to watch every event because it's so happy with its own creativity.
The writing is good enough that you'll know when things have jumped ahead, and you'll know when Cage has already lived through the scene you're watching more times than you'd care to experience yourself. Fortunately too, otherwise the plot would take eons to get anywhere. It's entertainingly repetitive (if ever there was such a thing) yet intelligently selective.
Often it's best not to reveal the mystery. So disappointment set in when Edge of Tomorrow decided to explain itself with quantum physics – via one of 'those' scientists Hollywood use to try and make rational otherwise unexplainable enigmas. The justification turns out to be little more than awkward metaphysics, but it represents a larger issue – that even inventive, fun ideas like this require explanation because you need one in the 'intellectual age'. In an effort to justify its own idea it also loses some of its principles in a vain attempt to accommodate the academics, and it's worse for it.
While the second act is absolutely incredible, it's the third where Edge of Tomorrow begins to let slip. Revealing as little as I can, toward the end the film loses its main premise, its creative juices and becomes another normal movie, which I'm not convinced was the right decision. If it stuck to its thesis, I'm certain more could have been achieved. They managed it thus far.
Edge of Tomorrow is more 'video game movie' than those that count themselves among the ranks. More so than Resident Evil, more so than Tomb Raider, more so than Prince of Persia. It doesn't need the subject matter; it encapsulates the interactive nature of the medium and does it finely. Even if the filmmakers didn't entirely intend so. It has issues, but that comes with experimentation, and I'm inclined to favour it because Edge of Tomorrow had the courage to try something different. It's even better to see those risks pay off.

Ezreal Build
ADC Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
So here i am, Anticoya ,20 years old, French dude.
I've been playing Ezreal a long time since he always been my main.
I kinda tried everything on him, AP build, Blue build, and all kind and Test different style.
Well, i'm not in the top of ranked etc but i liked to find the best build i can.
All guys can have great ideas of build and i think this one is.
And it's a great way to have fun, carry the game as an adc with some insane poke.
Pretty sure this will bring you to win. Just try it !
This Guide is in construction, Feedback, Replies will help me to improve it. Thank you !
Pros / Cons
No need to denie ez is a real gay. squishie as hell, he can be destroy by most of the adc if you don't know how to poke. But well sexual orientation don't mean everything. He's a versatile champ, and quite safe. Your arcane shift can let you do mistake. You can annoy so much with your Q and Ult.
Ezreal have great Poke.
Damn good escape.
Steroid attack speed for allies.
ULT that can GO ALL OVER THE MAP ! jeeez on my pants
Have nipples..Sweeeeet
Really Squishie
Mana dependent
Requiere skills
Need Map Awarness
HERE comes why this Guide is named ThunderShot build.
With Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge Your damage from Mystical Shot can Applies Thunder !
So Magical damage if crit can go up to 250.
You added the damage you do with your AD.. DAMN this is a Pika Poke !
TOP of that, you don't only have poke but you can benefit of good auto attack.
Statikk Shiv is great as item. For early farm and domination, the ennemie can't denie your push. Not even Caitlyn.
The rest is usuall build for ADC i guess. but i find that cool to have Alot of Crit and attack speed with Botrk and pene. You can have problem when you're facing an adc as cait or draven, because they out damage you. but just do some Q on it before and its cool.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon – a classic universal monster whose likeness has been attempted by sculptors and avid fans for years. And just recently? Kyle Yaklin of Kyle Yaklin FX created himself one of the most amazing wearable replicas of the original Creature from the Black Lagoon suits we have ever seen. Luckily, Kyle was available to speak with us and give us some insight on his process and also let us know a little more about what's next for him. Be sure to check out the links after the interview for access to his Facebook page and website where you can order your own copies of everything from the Creature suit to a Necronomicon.
GT: So Kyle – Tell us about yourself. How did you get started making props? What are your favorite or most memorable projects thus far?
Kyle Yaklin: I'm 21 years old and have been making props for 6 or so years, and sculpting for 4. I grew up on the universal classic horror films (my favorite being the Creature), Godzilla, and comic books (mainly Batman). I've been a collector since I was 5. I'd try to find all the Batman and Godzilla figures I could, but it was always hard to find some of it. So when I did, it was a big deal! As I got older and started seriously collecting, I found there were a lot of things out of my price range. Things like Han Solo's blaster from Star Wars, or Master Chief's helmet from Halo, so I joined some online prop forums and started making stuff!
GT: Let's talk about that Creature suit! When did you start on him and how long did he take? Were there any particular challenges you faced in making the suit? Why did you choose to do Creature?
Kyle Yaklin: I've wanted a Creature suit since I was very young, but I knew that if I bought one or had my mom make one that it wouldn't look like what I had seen on-screen so many times, so even as a kid I was pretty picky, haha! Fast forward to about three years ago, I wanted to seriously get into prop making and FX as a career and knew I'd have to start sculpting in clay, so the first thing I sculpted was a creature mask. It took me about three months in between my first year of college classes. The result was very good for a first attempt, but there was a lot to be desired in it. This was when I first planned out my creature suit though. I worked out pretty much exactly how my suit would be made, so now I just needed some more experience and skill to be able to accurately recreate the creature! I'm now in my senior year of college and finally finished my first suit! It took about 6 months of working on sculpting each part on and off and between classes to finish it all, but I'm pretty happy with the final results! The head took about a month to sculpt, and I used a casting of the original land head from my collection as reference so that I could get everything pretty close to how it's supposed to be. I also have castings of the feet from original molds that I used as reference for my feet. The hands took about a week each, and the feet took about a month for the pair. The rest of the suit was fairly easy to sculpt and was just very repetitive haha.
GT: A lot of your props are centralized on classic and modern horror. What are some of your favorite horror films and directors and why?
Kyle Yaklin: I've always loved the classic universal monster movies and similar films from the genre, but some of my favorites are The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Invisible Man, Dracula, and The Wolf Man. Those were the films I watched almost every week as a kid. In addition to those though, I love pretty much any Godzilla film from the franchise. I've always had a hard time describing why I love these films though, they're just entertaining and fun to watch!
GT: Any cool upcoming projects planned? We'd love to hear about them.
Kyle Yaklin: I've got many ideas for future projects, but I have no clue when any of them will be made, haha! Another monster suit I've been wanting since I was a kid is a Godzilla suit. So that's definitely going to happen at some point hopefully sooner than later! I've also got a few mask sculpts I'm working on right now including a shock monster tribute!
GT: If the readers are interested in buying some of your props or contacting you for commissions, where is the best place(s) for them to reach out to you?
Kyle Yaklin: The best way to keep track of my progress and events I'll be attending would be through my Facebook page Kyle Yaklin FX, but I've also got a website that has much more information on both me and my projects. I sell on eBay frequently but also sell through my Facebook page and email. I also now have my work for sale at Mysteria Antiques and Oddities shop in Marietta, GA!

I've told my boyfriend a few times that he's the best boyfriend I've ever had. He has never said back that I'm the best girlfriend he's ever had. I asked him about this a while ago and he said he didn't say I was the best because he was in a long relationship and even though it wasn't the best it lasted a long time. I know that she didn't treat him very well, and ended up cheating on him. Now I've been dating him approximately the same amount of time as her. I always do little things for him and he tells me I'm the sweetest all the time, but I'm still not the best girlfriend he's had? What gives?

The leading substance-abuse threat to children may be as close as your refrigerator.
The MCH Trauma Centre sees approximately 20 cases each year who sustained serious injuries while riding on ATVs. The injuries include: brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, dental and facial trauma, abdominal trauma, and multiple fractures. This is clearly a high risk activity.
Pets are not toys. At times, even friendly dogs and cats can bite and scratch if approached in a threatening way. A pet bird, reptile, or hamster can also bite or scratch. Young children are especially at risk.
Contrary to baby teeth, avulsed permanent teeth from a traumatic injury can be successfully implanted. Read more ...

Every year, hundreds of children and teens play on an organized basketball team. The Montreal Children's Hospital Trauma Centre's Emergency Department sees approximately 450 basketball-related injuries per year (CHIRPP, 2015).
The common black-and-blue mark linked with any bruise is very evident when it surrounds the eye. The dark-purplish circle, commonly called a black eye, is an internal bleeding injury and will last a little more than a week. The colour you see is caused by tiny blood vessels under the skin breaking and bleeding. As the injury heals, the body absorbs the blood. Here are a few tips on how to treat this type of injury.

Entry Two: May 13, 2009
The purpose of this meeting is to follow up on homework from our last meeting, discuss how the budget is working and discuss plans to help her meet her short term goal of being debt free.
Alline is working on her goal of a $1,000 "Baby" emergency fund.
She should have $500 toward her emergency fund by the end of this month.
She has lowered her land line phone bill and her Direct TV plan.
She checked and was not able to lower the cost on auto insurance premiums.
Her whole life insurance policy has a cash value of only $1,600. Because of health issues, she will need to keep it instead of pursuing term life.
Reviewing the Budget
The budget we established at our last meeting went very well. With confidence in the budget, we feel that we can begin to formulate our plan. She will need to complete her $1000 Baby Step One Emergency Fund before attacking her debt (Baby Step Two) but she should be able to do so within a month.
We discussed a concept to help expedite this process. Because Alline is living in her daughter's house, and because her daughter owes her $35,000 and because the prospects of ever getting any of this money from her daughter seem extremely slim, our plan is for Alline to buy the house from her daughter, paying only what is owed on the house. All equity (approximately $15,000), therefore, would be a form of payment from her daughter. Furthermore, when applying for the loan for the house, Alline could ask to borrow 80% of the market value and would walk away from the closing with about $8,000 to $10,000 which she could use to completely pay the IRS debt and greatly speed up her debt snowball. This was Alline's idea and I endorsed it. Alline has already spoken with her daughter about this and her daughter is in agreement.
Therefore, Alline's homework will be to talk to her banker and get the purchase process started.
We scheduled our next meeting for a month away. Based on the assumption that her budget is on track and the purchase of the house go forward, I will develop a detailed plan for Alline before our next meeting.

Passover is approaching and our kids will be off from school for vacation. While it's fun to play games with them to keep them happy and entertained, doing crafts with them is not only fun, but educational as well. Whether you would like to make decorative Afikomen covers for your Seder or a Seder plate your kids will be proud to have on the table, there's something for everyone. Here are a few ideas for fun crafts projects that will keep your children happy and busy, while you spend quality time with them.
These crafts are fun options for teaching children the many important reasons you celebrate Passover. Use them at your Seder or have fun making them during vacation to use at next year's Seder.
Passover Seder Plate
Make this special seder plate to use throughout the holiday. Explain to your little ones what each part of the plate symbolizes.
You Will Need:
• Cardboard
• Bowl or platter, for a circle pattern, about 16" in diameter
• Pencil
• Scissor
• White paint and paint brush
• Markers
• Rick rack
• Buttons and other embellishments, as desired
• White tacky glue
• 6 silicone or paper baking cups
On cardboard, trace around the top rim of bowl or platter with pencil.
Place board on a well-protected surface, and an adult only should use a scissors to cut out the circle.
Paint your cardboard white and let it dry thoroughly.
Place baking cups or bowls around the rim of the plate, spacing them evenly. Using them as a guide, draw a squiggly circle around each cup with a black marker. Remove the cups.
Outline each squiggly circle with another, slightly larger one. Then using another baking cup or bowl as a guide, draw a squiggly circle at the center of the plate and outline this one, too.
Draw a Star of David inside the center circle. Use the markers to color in each circle and outline. When done, use the black marker to indicate the symbolic food on each circle—a shank bone, haroset, bitter herbs, hard-boiled egg and leafy, green vegetable.
Glue bright buttons around the center circle and rickrack around the board rim. Add other embellishments as your artist desires. For those unfamiliar with rickrack, it's a flat, narrow braid woven in zigzag form, used as trimming for clothing or curtains or in this case, a Seder plate.
Older children can use glass bowls and decorate them with rick rack or ribbon trim and buttons. Younger ones can simply place the silicone cups at each marking.
Older kids might enjoy using a ceramic or plastic platter instead of cardboard. Use paint markers instead of regular markers to write on these.
The Cup of Eliyahu Hanavi
Kids of every age can beautifully decorate Eliyahu's cup with just a little colorful string, a few rhinestones and some glue. Eliyahu's cup is an important part of the Passover Seder. Every year, Eliyahu is invited to the Seder, a place is set for him at the table, and we pour a cup of wine in his honor. We decided it would be fun to create a beautiful, crafty wine goblet for Eliyahu—an easy craft that children can participate in. While you wrap the colorful string, let little fingers help and tell your children the story of Eliyahu!
You Will Need:
• Natural jute or wool string in several colors
• Paint brush
• An inexpensive wine glass or goblet (plastic is safer)
• White craft glue or Mod Podge,
• Gems or sequins for decorating the cup (optional)
• Scissors
• Damp paper towels or wipes for cleaning up sticky fingers
Starting at the top of the glass, paint a liberal stripe of glue all the way around the circumference. Carefully wrap your first color of string around the top. You can secure the end by overlapping a length of string. Don't worry too much about loose ends. If you can't get the end to hold, dab an extra bit of glue onto it and hold for ten seconds or until it is secure. Wrap the string around and around, descending with each lap until you have created a stripe in the width you desire. Cut off your string and hold it for ten seconds before you start with your next color. You can overlap your ends with the next color or just wrap the string close enough that there is no visible stop and start. Wherever the string does not feel tight and secure, paint on some extra glue. Don't worry about it looking messy, because your glue will dry clear. Keep wrapping more stripes of color. As you get to the curve of your glass, it might be easier to turn the glass upside down. Wrapping the underside of the glass is probably the trickiest part but have patience and apply glue liberally. It will hold, just wait and see.
Then wrap the stem and move onto the base. Coil your string around and around until you reach the outside of the base. Tuck your end under and apply another dollop of glue. Hold for ten seconds to secure. If the cup isn't colorful enough for your taste, you can add sequins and gems. Just dab on some glue and apply wherever you fancy. When it's done just let it sit for an hour or so, until it is dry. Then set your Seder table and wait to see what Elijah will think! I'm sure he'll find it quite beautiful, especially because it was made with little hands. Note: If you fill this cup with wine at the Seder table, you will need to rinse it very carefully– best to use a damp cloth to wipe it out, rather than put it under running water. Or, use it as a decorative, symbolic Elijah's cup. Just be careful if you're adding liquid or washing the cup, if it touches the jute string on the outside of the cup, the colors may run.
Afikomen Bag
Finding the Afikomen is one of the most exciting Passover traditions for kids. Now they can make a lovely cover for their favorite hidden treasure. Traditionally, the afikomen is placed in a cloth bag before it is hidden, however, your kids will be thrilled when it's placed in the bag that they created.
You Will Need:
• Felt: one large piece for the envelope (11.5" x 16") and smaller pieces in various colors for decorating it
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Fabric puff paint, in glittering silver, sold in an applicator bottle
• Acrylic paint, or fabric paint, or both
• Rickrack or ribbon
• Freezer paper
• Iron
• Small manicure scissors
• Small piece of dense sponge or a stencil brush
• Hot glue gun
• The word afikomen written in English or Hebrew
• A button, snap closure, or hook and eye
Following the diagram provided, this will make your bag in the shape of an envelope. Cut your felt with sharp scissors. You can draw on the felt with a pencil and ruler.
Cut a piece of freezer paper to roughly 8½" x 11" and using the word afikomen in English or Hebrew, print the document onto the freezer paper, making sure that the printing will happen on the non-waxed side.
Using small manicure scissors, carefully cut the black letters out, and iron the stencil onto the flap of your felt, or anywhere you choose. Make sure that the freezer paper is securely adhered to the felt, particularly around the letters.
Using a dense sponge or a stencil brush apply paint to your stencil, making sure not to overload the sponge or brush with paint. Dip sponge or brush in paint, and remove most of the paint on a piece of scrap paper before applying paint to the felt. Too much can cause the paint to bleed under the edges of the freezer paper.
Allow paint to dry, apply another coat if necessary. Iron pieces of freezer paper to the pieces of felt you'll be using to decorate your bag.
Create felt applique pieces by getting the kids to draw small simple pictures on the freezer paper side, and then cut them out to use as decorations.
You don't need a closure, but if you want one, sew on a button and simply cut a slit on the other side or sew on snaps or hook and eye closures. If you choose to do this, do it before you start laying out the felt applique pieces.
Create designs on two sides of your bag using your felt pieces, and moving them around until you're happy with the results, and then attach them with hot glue. Add ribbon or delicate rickrack for a nice touch.
Set aside to dry overnight (or a full day) as the fabric puff paint takes a while to dry. Glue the bag closed with a line of hot glue on each of the side seams. Since it's hard to make a totally straight seam with hot glue, it looks much better to leave the edges on the outside.
Enjoy using at your Seder for many years to come!
Matzo Cover
The best part about this Passover craft is that it requires no sewing whatsoever, so you can make this with even your youngest kids in less than half an hour. Instructions:
You Will Need:
• Satin fabric
• Fabric glue
• Puffy paint
• Big gems
• Embroidered patches
Begin by cutting out two square pieces of satin or any fancy fabric of your choice. Make sure they are the same size and bigger than a piece of matzo. Glue the backs together with fabric glue. Once the glue has dried, gather up all your trims that you have and place them on the front cover in any special sequence you like. Lift each trim and put a dot of glue on the back and glue down to your fabric. With some puffy paint, draw any type of design or pattern around the trims any where on the cover. Finally, write the word Matzo in Hebrew or English on the cover. Enjoy your cover during your special Seder.
Send pictures of your little ones making these crafts and of their finished products. Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll print them in an upcoming issue.

Jeans: Paris Blues, Heels: Ferragamo
I found this great DIY project on the Man Repeller, and thought I'd give it a try. It turns out to be the perfect solution to a fashion dilemma...You know you love flared leg jeans, but hate when they cover up an amazing pair of heels. Worry no more. Just follow these easy steps and the problem is solved.
It's really very simple. Just find the front, center of your jeans and cut. Just make sure that you first decide what shoes you will be wearing. The look is best with jeans that just touch the ground, when you have your shoe of choice on.

It is with empathy that I wish Jane Austen a happy 239th birthday. After all, it's not easy to grow older. I was younger than Elizabeth Bennet when I discovered Jane's novels. But these days I sometimes resemble Mrs Bennet, Elizabeth's fretful, flighty mother. Oh, sigh.
And yet I wouldn't change a thing about Jane or her books. She was a woman of her time, as I am of mine, and it's wonderful that she was born in 1775. Instead of, say, twenty years ago.
Because if she were twenty-something, Jane might be, well, like a hipster. I know, right? A shudder-worthy thought.
Oh, her novels would be as sparkling and insightful as ever–for wittiness is prized by hipsters–but they could also have a very different look. I have taken the liberty of finding images that are less "mainstream" for Jane's beloved but hopelessly "longhair" (square) characters. No longer are they "fin" (uncool) or "midtown" (unhip), but "straight from the fridge" (cool) and "deck" (cutting edge).
What do you think? Photos will enlarge if you click on them.

We began with paintings of sugar skulls. It was very hard not to lick them while we painted. Mine had all the extra blood.
I must admit some trepidation about the holiday. I support reverence of ancestors and those that have passed. Yet I don't believe that we can communicate with the dead, being that they are in sheol (see my previous post). And I think that veneration of the dead can easily lead into worship, when we expect something from the dead as supernatural beings, or treat them in the same way as we do deities.
Yet at the same time, I really appreciate the comfortability with death expressed within this cultural holiday, as my Snohomish friend pointed out. In America we are often so removed from death, where it takes place in nursing homes and hospitals and not in our home; where advanced medicine often restricts death to the very old. Here there is a reminder of the monks of old, contemplating skulls to remember our own mortality and the immortality of God.
There was also some beautiful Dia De Los Muertos art, and even a cemetary in the building, that looked like the real thing.
Enfusing all the air were pleasant Latin strains.
Sadly, the festival was a bit small. So we wandered beyond, through the Seattle Center, till we came to a Japanese bell, begging to be rung.

Hah! I'd forgotten all about this one. Bless her. She's a devil woman.
Question is, was I writing this from the point of view of 'this is Miss Jane's last stand' or 'this is the moment the polite violence began'.
Only one woman holds the answer.
I'm going to guess this was the tipping point.
And look, it's way back in 2005. Who knew she got off to such an early, politely violent start?
When did 8 years happen?
Yes, I know. It's 2014. I'll count my years the way I like them.
Now I'm curious to see the actual first. Date and content…

BENSALEM, Pa.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming April 17, 2017 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd.

Northern Dynasty investors have until April 17, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

For me, Christmas Day is an opportunity to dress up a bit. And that sentiment extends to my face.
If on Christmas morning my skin needs a little coverage, then I will reach for Dior Diorskin Star Foundation (£32.50) for a light, glowy finish.
With any luck I'll just be dotting my favourite Clinique Airbrush Concealer (£19) under my eyes and on any small blemishes. Literally the best concealer ever.
On my cheeks a little Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in 'Smouldering Plum' (£22.50) is the one. I normally favour a warm pink blush, but winter is the perfect time of year to wear a cooler blush colour. This is a lovely, flattering tawny-plum shade.
Keeping with the plum-toned look, this Nails Inc nail varnish in Piccadilly Court (£13) is a beautifully deep cranberry red colour, ideal for Christmas Day!
Cranberry nails -> cranberry lips. This lovely Rosie for Autograph Lip Glossy from Marks and Spencer in 'Supermodel Smile' (£12.50) is a take on the ever-popular lip crayon. Moisturising, shiny colour, it should last through the many mouthfuls of Christmas fare.
For eyes, yes, you guessed it. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (£38.50) is absolutely fantastic. From pale matt pinks to shimmery copper colours, this palette has it all!
A soft grey-toned black eyeliner for a gentle smoky eye is perfect for Christmas Day. One thin line of Max Factor Colour Perfection Eyeliner (£9.99) will provide subtle definition for your eyes.
It wouldn't be Christmas without a little Chanel No5 (£49).

Discussion in 'UPS Union Issues' started by Wally, Feb 23, 2016.
How many Teamsters currently here in 2016 at UPS VS 2008?
234,000 vs 233,768
It's going to be 233,999 if you don't start doing your job.
But it will end up being 234,001 because it will take 2 to replace him.
Two part timers.
We need as many new members as possible, it starts with the part timers.
Bargaining unit members or Teamsters? What about service/agency fee payers?
So there are only 232 more Teamsters today as compared to 7 or 8 years ago? (to be honest I figured there would be even less------ but it still shows a scary picture of the future.
