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.
Welcome to my Button Mashin' Sona build!
The Idea behind this idea is that activated items are more impactfull in team fights and alow for more map control. ADC's and the sort can't build as many activated items because they are always attacking and positioning but as a support in lane , you do very little attacking unless it is against enemy champions.
The activation items for Sona give her a decent amount of AP as well so her abilities don't suffer from lack of power, and sona doesn't have so many CC abilities (except for Crescendo) so these give her a lot of slows.
I find for many supports that it gets quiet boring, because you don't press so many buttons unless you are engaging and when you in cool down you position and defend your ADC (this is also a reason I hate playing as ADC). With the Button Mashin' Sona build I am constantly pressing buttons, activating abilities and items. it makes it so much more fun!
Have fun!
please comment.
Runes and Masteries
An interesting question. As many supports I like taking Money Quints (which i heard you can't buy anymore...) and focus on ability power armor and health.
Masteries is also an interesting question, i usualy go for something like 0,9,21 or 4,5,21. focusing on money and cooldown reduction of items, as well as health and resistances in defense.
The Items I buy follow a few simple rules:
1. Activation Item!
2. Passive Ability Power and/or Cooldown reduction.
3. Slow or heal.
I want to buy activation items so I can click more buttons and be able to respond to any event. The Items I buy are either healing activation items or slows that give a passive AP or cooldown reduction, which helps sona with the effectiveness of her abilities and the rate at which she casts them. Sona spams abilities even without these cooldowns but with these items she will always be pressing buttons, either her own abilities to heal and speed up out of combat, or attack during combat while slowing the enemy team and healing her own.
With all these activations, you wont have time to activate them all before your team comes out on top.
Skill Sequence
During lane upgrade your Q first for extra poke, then W for healing. I get the move speed, E, early either at level three if we are winning lane or four and level it up last.
Pros / Cons
Pros: So much fun spamming out abilities, slowing your enemy team and gaining control of the map almost single handed, if there was no fighting you would win without your team ( not such a supporty thing to say but i like playing carry supports = supports that carry the team except for damage output). You have a rediculous ability to chase enemies or disengage with Frost Queen's Claim, Twin Shadows and Power Cord Song of Celerity (E).
Cons: Health! the only Item that gives health is the Sightstone ( and maybe the Locket) Sona is very squishy alone, these items don't help much. If you can correctly position yourself in team fights this isn't a serious problem just make sure your engage is very fat and tanky. If you aren't focused in team fights (because you are a support) then your team will be at a greater advantage because of Sonas many Auras.
Button Mashin' Sona allows you to gain control of the map while hunting down enemies with a nice amount of slows while letting your minions push lanes. The AP you get is ok for a support but the utility you bring to the team is unmatched by any.
Hope you like it!

LIDIA MAY is where fashion meets heritage. We take artistry and craftsmanship and recompose them into bags of classic design infused with modern femininity, at once fresh and familiar.
The Story Lidia May was created in 2014 by American Designer and Social Entrepreneur May Yang. After living in L.A., NYC, Beirut, Beijing and Hong Kong, she designs through her own lens of modern femininity and timeless style. She is inspired to incorporate the rich culture and crafts heritage of South Asia into her motifs, creating bags that are instantly recognizable. May designs for women of curiosity, compassion and self-assured playfulness.
The Brand We are in an era where luxury is identified through authenticity and integrity. Lidia May's designs connect the wearer intimately with the person who produced her bag, one piece at a time. The techniques employed are the result of extensive research into the traditional luxury crafts of the region, reinterpreted for a contemporary audience.
The Ari hook needle that gives life to the Ronni Tote cow was refined through generations of craftsmen in North India's princely courts. The organic textures of the Farmland fields were created by intricate long and short stitches common in Bengal. The Zari and beading techniques are applied over 32 hours to create a single piece of the Trang embroidery.
The Sustainability Model Lidia May is conscious about sustainability, working with raw materials suppliers similarly committed to reducing environmental impact, such as leather tanneries developing ecologically neutral tanning techniques.
Socially, it supports the Lidia Hope Centre Trust, a non-profit educating 70 students living in slums and teaching marketable vocational skills to unskilled women. The company has pledged a part of its profits to support the Lidia Hope Centre Trust.

Our friends over at Paramount Pictures Australia invited Geek Actually to take a look at some IMAX footage from the upcoming film "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" and let me tell you it was very impressive indeed.
We saw two completed scenes in floor to ceiling IMAX and it took my breath away. Director Brad Bird ("The Incredibles" & "The Iron Giant"), who is making his live action debut, delivers pulse pounding action that is directed with such assurance that you would think he was a veteran action film director.
The first scene we saw was the one you might be familiar with if you have seen the trailers and it is set high up on the very tall Burj Khalifa building in Dubai. It moves along at a swift pace and revolves around Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) needing to get into the server room of the bad guys, the problem is he can only access it from outside. Cue amazing climbing scene as Ethan scales the outside of the bloody tall building with sticky gloves! This scene really uses IMAX to its full potential with high shots looking straight down as Ethan climbs, swings and almost falls on several occasions. While this is going on, the other members of the team, Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Simon Pegg (Benji Dunn) & Paula Patton (Jane Carter) are running around getting the other aspects of the mission done. All of this cross cutting between the team and Ethan climbing is made more tense by the fact that they only have a short time to do it all. All in all, this scene is edge of your seat stuff. The IMAX format makes the high scenes toe tinglingly effective.
The second scene we saw was a foot chase in a thick sand storm. Judging by the set up and the location, this scene follows pretty closely after the first scene we saw. This is a tricky scene to shoot as visibility is non-existent and it could be really easy to lose track of characters and audiences could get disorientated easily. Once again Brad Bird knows what he is doing, this scene is tight and the lack of visibility really helps build the tension. Ethan uses a GPS style tracker as a plot device to help locate the person he is chasing while also helping re-orientate the audience through the scene. This is great scene and I love the tension that is built by not knowing what could come flying out of the sand storm.
All in all this was a great presentation and left me really wanting to see more. Brad Bird looks like he really has nailed the material and the cast is strong. I look forward to December 15th.
Paramount Pictures Australia have also given us the video below for you to enjoy, it is a behind the scenes look at the making of the climbing scene.
"Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" is due for release in Australia on the 15th of December.

If you want to love God and serve Him well, you need to keep theology and action together. Without deep Bible knowledge, ministry becomes shallow and secular. And without loving action, theology becomes stagnant and irrelevant. But if you can fuse theology and action together in the same experience, you have something powerful and life-changing: a confident living faith that pleases God in the real world.
Pathways College of Bible and Mission is a Christian tertiary provider. We offer two internship programmes which require students to spend 50% of their time interning in a placement church or para-church organisation, and the other 50% doing self-directed study and attending week-long block courses 6 times a year. Pathways College is passionate about fusing theology and action to give our students a deep theological base, while also seeing students grow through serving practically in their various fields of ministry. We believe this action-knowledge dynamic is how people truly learn and develop into passionate and effective disciples of Jesus.

Product Description▼▲
Medals are received for accomplishments, and they become symbols of experience---you can look at the uniform of someone in the military and know where he has been and what he has done. Like the military wives of the past, you experience challenges that stretch your physical, emotional, and spiritual resources. While it is an honor to serve your soldier, airman, marine, or sailor as he defends the freedom of America, it is not without sacrifice. And while no military service medals are handed out to military wives for their bravery, gallantry, heroism, or exceptional service, the rewards are greater than any medal could display. The life of the military wife is one that reaps exceptional benefits through personal character and leadership development, adventure, relationships, and opportunities for service. Your husband wears his medals on his uniform, but you wear medals over your heart.
Through these devotions, may you be blessed as you:

Craig Schaffer, a former Rapid City fireman, was a Marine from 1970-1974, with vivid memories of the Marine Corps Air Facility at Futema, Okinawa, and Namphong, Thailand, experiencing aerial refueling missions over Vietnam in 1972. As an Airborne Radio Operator/Loadmaster on KC-130s with the Marine Aerial Refueling and Transport Squadron 152 based in Okinawa, he flew refueling and cargo/personnel transport missions all over the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Jamie Roberts is coming home today. His father called two days ago to ask if I could go up to the airport in Allentown to meet Jamie when he comes in. How could I say no? Jamie was like a brother to me. No...he was more than a brother.
Jamie and I became best friends about five minutes after we met on the playground of Benjamin Franklin Elementary on our first day of third grade. He had moved to Pottsgrove from Columbus, Ohio just five days before, so he was definitely the new kid in school. He was good-looking even back then with his wavy, blonde hair, cobalt blue eyes, and sparkling, perfect-teeth.
Although I was ignorant of the scientific fact, I learned that day that opposites do attract. Sporting crew-cut, black hair, cocoa eyes, and a mouth that resembled a neglected picket fence, I couldn't have been any further away on the spectrum of appearance. But somehow there seemed to be an instant chemistry between us when I approached Jamie with my standard introduction, "Hi, my name's Paul Sanders: you any good at kickball?"
Good? Jamie was a natural. His first time up, he kicked the ball clear over the four foot high, wrought iron fence that surrounded the playground. As he ran around the bases in that fluid stride that everyone would talk about years later when he was an all-conference halfback, I knew that he and I were going to be a team for life.
The first order of business that day was for all the students to seat themselves alphabetically. Since there was no one with a name like Rutherford or Sacks, I was placed in the desk behind Jamie. Whether by predestination or luck, that was the way we remained through the rest of our academic life.
We survived the third grade, although we had several close calls with Miss Reed, our teacher. She never actually caught us, but we always feared that she suspected us of being responsible for the strange noises which would mysteriously emanate when she turned her back to the class.
The summer following third grade was the best I had ever experienced in the eight years of my life. Jamie and I were inseparable. We rode our bikes together, played army together, we were even on the same Little League team. Jamie pitched and played shortstop while I was always in centerfield. Boy, what a team we had. Our team, the Rotary Indians, took first place losing just one game (the father of the pitcher from the other team was the umpire and he called me out on a close play at home that would have tied the game had I been safe). But the best times we had occurred when Jamie and I would sleep out in one or the other's back yard. We would lie under that vast, star-spangled sky and tell each other our secret dreams and ambitions. Jamie would start by saying, "Someday, when I'm grown up, I'm going to be a doctor and I'm going to be famous and rich and drive a big car."
I would follow with, "Well, someday I'm going to be a pro baseball player and be even richer and drive an even bigger car." Jamie would then try to top me. "Yeah, but I'm going to discover cures for everything so nobody will ever be sick again." In turn I would tell him how I was going to hit more home runs than Mickey Mantle. We sure did have a lot to accomplish in those somedays.
For the next eight years our lives remained virtually the same as that first year of our relationship. We passed from a period of tranquility with Ike, to an era of promise with JFK. We mourned our nation's loss, not truly understanding but knowing that a man we felt very comfortable with was gone. We grew, both physically and mentally, and as we matured our dreams and goals matured and became more realistic.
September 1966. As we commenced our senior year of high school, Jamie still talked about someday becoming a doctor, but with the realization that curing every disease was beyond his or anyone person's capabilities. His ambition was to have a stellar year oh the football gridiron and receive an athletic scholarship from a major university where he could major in pre-med and eventually become a surgeon.
And me? My goal was to study just enough to maintain my B+ average and then to have a better season on the baseball diamond than I'd had the past summer. While playing centerfield for the Pottsgrove American Legion Post 216 Ravens, I had hit a remarkable .438 average with 19 home runs. I continued to dream that someday I would play in the major leagues and the attention I received in the local press seemed to me to be the ticket I needed to attract the big league scouts.
How could Jamie and I have known what cruel turns life had in store for us that year? Someone might call it fate, others a tough break. I preferred to call my plight an unfair deal, or as the French say (pardon them) the shits!
November 12, 1966 was the date of our next to last football game of the year. Miller Falls, our opponent, had an adequate team that year, but Pottsgrove had Jamie Roberts. In eight games Jamie had run for more than 1,200 yards and 17 touchdowns -both school and league records. He had been visited by many college scouts and we all felt he'd be able to write his own ticket to whatever college he chose. All the hometown supporters would reassure themselves that someday Jamie Roberts would be an All-American.
While I was as fast as Jamie, my long strides, which were essential for baseball, relegated me to play split end in football. I had good hands and had caught 14 passes that season for 3 touch-downs. But a team with a Jamie Roberts didn't rely on the passing game, so I had to be content with being part of a very strong team, and I was.
The night of the Miller Falls game Jamie had given another outstanding performance. By the end of the third quarter he had 134 yards rushing and had scored two touchdowns, which gave us a lead of 20-7. Midway through the fourth quarter Jamie was taken out of the game while more than 4,000 fans saluted him with a standing ovation. I stood on the field feeling so proud for my best friend that I felt like crying. One minute and twenty-four seconds later I was.
The play was a simple down and in, designed to gain about ten yards. As I jumped to catch the slightly overthrown ball, a Miller Falls player buried his shoulder into my lower back. Knocked off balance, I landed on the ground with a twisting motion just as another player hit me. I remember hearing my knee crack loudly before the searing, blinding pain overwhelmed me. Coach Moyers and the game doctor were beside me within seconds urging me not to move, to try to lie still.
The doctor gingerly tried to straighten my leg and I screamed loud parents to hear it twelve rows up in the stands. The men from the ambulance brought a stretcher and somehow managed to get me onto it. As they carried me off the field I looked to my left through tear-filled eyes and saw Jamie right beside me. He was crying too but managed to smile as he told me, "Don't worry Paul, someday you'll be good as new."
I tried to smile back, couldn't, but grunted through clenchedteeth, "Nope, someday I'll be better than new." The medical facts were simple. After two operations to try to repair the damage to my knee my athletic career was over. Oh, the doctor assured me that with careful rehabilitation and a cumbersome brace I would be able to someday play recreational league softball and other less vigorous sports. I recall telling the doctor to stuff his softball, that I wanted to play major league baseball someday. He then explained that if I attempted that level of competition I would become a cripple for life. No matter how bad I wanted it, my knee would never be the same as it had been.
I watched our final game of the year against our arch rivals, Clark Valley High, from the sidelines, all bundled up in a wheelchair. Jamie told me before the game that he was going to personally win the game for me. Always true to his word, Jamie led Pottsgrove to a 28-13 victory. The coaches presented the game ball to Jamie for his outstanding performance that season. He thanked them, then turned and held out the ball to me. "How about keeping this for me. You know, someday I'll need the space for the rest of my trophies. Besides, maybe this will help you remember me someday."
I had a devil of a time eating Thanksgiving dinner laterthat day. Every time I looked at that ball I got a huge lump in my throat that wasn't caused by trying to swallow too much white meat.
with the prospect of a career in baseball suddenly snatched from me I had to determine a new course for my life. Purely by accident I found that journalism was almost as natural for me as was shagging fly balls.
As the basketball season approached, the advisor for the school newspaper, Mrs. Needham, asked me to write a column each week covering the team's progress. Because I had nothing else to do I agreed to try it. After my first two reports were printed people began to tell me how much they liked the sports news (I had also volunteered to cover the wrestling and rifle teams). Jamie, with his usual optimism, expressed his profound belief that someday I'd be the best sportswriter in the country. He said that no matter where he would be after he became a surgeon, he'd always buy a paper with my column in it.
I was just beginning to develop a sense of self-worth again when tragedy struck the Roberts' home. Nobody saw what happened to cause Jamie's dad to fall. He was a lineman for the Pottsgrove Municipal Electric Department. Apparently, after climbing a utility pole to replace an insulator that someone had broken with a rock he fell off the pole. He should have been killed, but he survived with a broken back.
Jamie was devastated when he was told by the principal about his dad. He came back to English class to get his books before he left for the hospital to be with his mother. I'll never forget the look on his face. It seemed as though he had been able to see the future and, in doing so, had seen his dreams go up in smoke. Jamie looked like a man being led to the gallows.
The prognosis for Jamie's father was better than first expected. He would be able to walk again someday, the doctors said, but not as well as he once did. His job future was uncertain. Against his parents' protests Jamie stated that he would stay home and work to help support the family until his dad was on his feet again. College would still be there when things got back to normal.
Graduation day was not the festive time we had envisioned it might be. Jamie had finished school while working nights as a stock boy at the local A&P. I had applied and been accepted to attend Temple University to major in journalism. Once out of school Jamie got a job working for a moving and storage company. Some job for a guy who wanted to be a surgeon, but it paid $4.25 aw hour.
That summer Jamie and I would get together on weekends for double dates or, occasionally, take the bus to Philadelphia to watch a Phillies game. On those trips we'd still talk about the things we wanted to be and do, although neither of us seemed to have quite the same enthusiasm as we had had in summers gone by. It was the longest summer of our lives.
Three days before I was to begin classes at Temple Jamie came by my house. He looked tired but nevertheless managed to smile as he handed me a letter that he'd been holding. "Looks like Uncle Sam needs 01' Jamie to carry the ball for his team," he quipped, as though he'd been invited to try out for football or something. I think I'll volunteer for the Marines: I'm used to playing with the best, you know."Shock. Anger. Confusion. All those feelings surged through me. This just couldn't be true. This was just..."Bullshit," I choked out through a fear constricted throat. "you can get out of this. They can't do this to you with your father the way he is. They just can't do this!"
"They can and they did," Jamie replied, almost too calmly. "I already called the draft board and explained the situation to them. They said they were sorry but there was nothing they could do because my dad isn't permanently totally disabled. I report for my pre-induction physical a week from Monday." "There has to be something we can do," I continued, my fear now giving way to despair.
"Well you could let me borrow your knee," Jamie said with laugh and quickly saw the hurt in my eyes. "Hey, I'm only kidding. Don't worry, it's going to be all right." He took the letter from my hand, walked to his car, got in and drove away without another word.
I cut my morning classes the day Jamie was inducted into the Marine Corps. I just had to see him off. Before he left he put his arm around me and told me to study hard and make him proud. When he said good-bye he added, "Don't worry about me, Paul. I'm going to be the best damn Marine ever." I didn't have any trouble believing him at all.
The first week of February Jamie came home for his first leave since he left in October. I could not believe my eyes when he appeared at my front door. Ramrod straight, taut, sun-burned 'face, and that damn infectious smile.
"Hello you hippie freak." My hair covered my ears and most of my shirt collar.
"Hello yourself you dumb jarhead," I fired back, knowing full well that Marines hated the term.
We threw our arms around each other and took turns picking each other off the floor. As we settled down Jamie began relating stirring tales about boot camp and advanced infantry training. He had a way of making it sound similar to the games of army we had played as kids.
After he enthralled me for more than an hour Jamie insisted that I tell him about my experiences at Temple. I explained how college courses demanded much more time and effort than high school classes did. I also told him about Darla, a girl I had met in freshman English. I showed Jamie her picture and he said I was lucky to have a girl that pretty, considering my ugly mug and all, but he laughed as he said it.
Then, just like that, his face seemed to change as though he had been wearing a mask. One minute smiling and happy, the next somber and reflective .
"Paul, I've got orders for Vietnam."
I had considered this possibility from the day Jamie left for boot camp and I thought I was prepared for such an announcement. I wasn't. My mouth hung open, refusing to work as I stared fixedly into Jamie's eyes.
He saw the shock on my face and immediately began to laugh. "Hell, 'don't start worrying about me again. You know, those Viet Cong can't be near as tough as that Miller Falls team was." I laughed then too. No matter how rough things got, Jamie could always make me laugh. I suppose that's why I loved him. We spent as much of the next twenty days of Jamie's leave together as my schedule allowed. I would have forgotten about going to school, but Jamie insisted that I was to keep my life on as normal a course as possible. He said he knew that in the long run it was the best thing I could do. God, he always thought about someone else first, never himself.
On his last day home, as we were saying our good-byes, Jamie looked deeply into my eyes and gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen. "I'm going to be back someday, sooner than you think, with a chest full of medals, and then you can write a story about
the hometown hero."
I clasped his hand in mine, not wanting to let him go, and said firmly, "That's one someday I'm holding you to. Take care of yourself, Jamie."
It's funny how bits and pieces of memories drift through a person's mind while sitting in an airport terminal, waiting for a plane to land.
As I look out the window I can see the United Airlines 707 touching down on the end of the runway, little puffs of smoke coming off each wheel as they make contact with the concrete. The plane continues its rollout and is now taxiing to the terminal.
Now passengers are disembarking, among them I can see a young Marine sergeant. But rather than entering the terminal, he is walking around the nose of the aircraft. He is standing at attention as a green shipping casket is being lowered from the cargo bay to a gray Cadillac hearse that has pulled alongside the large "freedom bird". The grim ceremony complete, the Marine does an about face and enters the terminal.
I approach him and introduce myself. "Hi, I'm Paul Sanders, ( 'you any good at kickball?' ) a close friend of Jamie's. His parents asked me to meet you and drive you to their home." "Sergeant Thomas Parkson, sir. I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances. Corporal Roberts spoke of you often." "How did Jamie die?" I ask while walking to my car.
"Corporal Roberts took several direct hits from small arms fire while attempting to wave in an evac helicopter to pick up two wounded men from our platoon. By the time the corpsman reached him, there was little anyone could have done." It sounds like he's reading from an official report. I can't accept Jamie dying in a goddamn official report.
"Did Jamie suffer before...before he died?" A tear is rolling down my cheek. Damn it, I promised myself I wouldn't let this happen.
"No, I don't think he was in much pain. Corp...er Jamie just laid there smiling like he always did, looking up at the sky. And he kept repeating the same thing over and over. I uh..,think it was a message for you."
"What.. did he say?" Can't stop the tears.
"He just kept saying, 'Tell Paul it never comes, someday never comes, it never comes.

How is it the 10th of December already?! The year has flown by, as it does every year and Christmas is creeping up on us.
I've created my own Globetrotter Gift Guide, compiled of things I love so much that if I don't find them under the tree, I'll be treating myself to at the Boxing Day Sales.
High quality travel gear
One of the most stressful elements of travelling somewhere new is knowing what to pack – and getting the right gear. Icebreaker makes high quality travel gear made out of merino wool. Why Merino Wool?
Because it comes from the Merino Sheep, which braves New Zealand's freezing winters and warm summers. Merino wool is luxuriously soft, but super strong. It's perfect for travelling in all climates because it creates light, breathable layers that buffer your body from the cold and wicks away moisture in the heat, stops you from getting clammy, resists odours and unlike many other wools, doesn't itch. Icebreaker's products are tested in the mountains, not the labs, so they know that their products will go the distance.
To make Christmas shopping a little easier, they've come up with their own Holiday Gift Guide, to help you pick the perfect present for any type of traveller. Check it out for fresh ideas for the Glamper, Over-Packer (love this!), minimalist and more.
Aura Hat
I love a good beanie! Not only is this Aura Hat super cute, but it's also extra warm and very durable. Perfect for when you're bouncing down the ski slopes or sipping chocolate chaud at the chalet.
Sierra Gloves
Ugly, clunky gloves are a thing of the past! I love how sleek these gloves are – and the touch screen technology in the thumb and fingertips, so that you don't have to sacrifice your fingers to frostbite if you want to use your phone. I wish I'd had these when I was in Amsterdam right before the cold snap in 2012!
Aero Long Sleeve Half Zip
I think this would look perfect with the gloves! I really like the sleek fit of this jacket and that it's featherweight, so you can use it as your first layer in cold climates but you won't overheat once you warm up. This wouldn't just be perfect for travelling, it will be perfect for the totally unpredictable, extreme weather I'll be facing when I move to Melbourne in January!
Bolt Long Sleeve Crew
Layers are essential for braving the extreme cold in winter, just putting on a big jacket and a sweater won't cut it. This lightweight base layer is perfect for your everyday first layer and for layering up before you do sport.
A beautiful journal
I am the worst at writing on the road, but I'm slowly getting better. No matter how mundane my observations are, I'm always happy to re read them later. For the scribe in your life, a small, beautiful travel journal makes a great present.
Cool Maps
Above my desk, I have a rotating gallery of my favourite maps. I found an awesome illustrated street map of Paris, which was meant to be used as wrapping paper, but is so pretty I've got it on my wall. I also have a standard world map with cities and countries, and an awesome scratch-map to mark off the places I go to. When I was in NSW, I picked up a beautiful hand drawn map of Australia.
For your friend with the world's longest bucket list, a beautiful map makes a great present that doubles as art/inspiration.
Travel-themed Coffee Table Book
I have SO many inspiring travel books, full of gorgeous illustrations and enough information to keep me constantly planning my next trip. You could go with a book on popular topics like the wonders of the world or the best destinations for 2014/15, or you could find books for a specific niche – such as eco-travel, lesser-known alternatives to iconic destinations, festivals around the world or books focusing on one destination.
Camera gear
Don't freak out, this doesn't need to be expensive! If you're buying for a snap-happy traveller, do a little digging and find out if there's anything that could help them take even better photos on the road. Maybe it's a lightweight, compact tripod or even something as simple as a cool fish-eye lens attachment for their iPhone.
Travel novel
There's nothing like a good book to immerse yourself in a destination before or after your trip. If the traveller in your life has a trip coming up, do a quick Google search and find a book written about that destination. So much more fun than reading a travel guide!
What would you add to the list?
This post was sponsored by Icebreaker, but of course all opinions are my own – as if I could keep them to myself!

Vision of Future TSC
Our Future Vision:
To have a free-standing coffee house close distance to a Catholic church
Provide a coffee house open to the public for normal business hours Monday through Saturday
Promote and provide live Catholic entertainment (musicians, speakers, artists, comedians, shows, movies, etc.) on Friday and Saturday evenings
Create an environment where people can come for meetings or study
A place for social interactions, networking, and fellowship amongst like-minded Christians
Offer variety of Christian products (apparel, jewelry, books, cds, etc.) geared towards young people from our gift shop
Promote Vocations by working with different Religious orders and Diocesan priest
Provide information, counseling, answers, or spiritual direction on a given time and day to individuals from organizations such as:
Various Religious orders and Diocesan priests
Pro-life organizations
Pro-bono counseling services
Any other Catholic organizations willing to serve young people
Future goal:
The Shepherd's Cafe will be business - sole entity and not parish-based ministry. The café will purchase coffee from impoverished coffee farmers to ensure they get just wage and properly support them financially through Mission Coffee Ministry or other Catholic Missions. Both Shepherd's Café and Mission Coffee Ministry will educate and make an awareness of poverty around the world by sharing the stories of these farmers and the Missionaries who serve them. The Shepherd's Café will publicize the need to support Catholic Missions. All proceeds (minus expenses) will be given back to these Mission sites and farmers to help them continue their services in their communities. Everyone who purchases coffee at The Shepherd's Cafe will partake in this great cause as one Body of Christ.
This was done by a dear friend who help capture the vision of the coffee house on paper.
This is only a rough draft.
No financial assessment or approval from licensed architecture has been made. These designs are subject to change due to financial, zoning, code, and other restrictions that could apply. (For more pictures, click on the link to the left).

We could learn something from these guys
Work and Rework
I'm a fan of Basecamp, a web-based project management tool. It has just the right number of features, it's simply structured, and, most importantly it's effective. The same can be said of Rework, a book written by the creators of Basecamp, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson.
We could learn something from these guys
Fried and Hansson founded a small, Chicago-based web design company called 37signals in 1999. The team soon noticed the need for an online tool that would help people "get work done" without heavy investments in commitments, resources or time. Basecamp became that tool.


text: 13 May 2013More daughters are following their mothers under the knife to fix unsightly hereditary traits. As a little girl, Deborah Herry remembers being shown a picture of her mother in her younger days. She was instantly recognisable, apart from one crucial difference � a wider nose with a pronounced bump on the bridge much like her own.It turned out her mother, Fery, had an operation to give her a prettier nose than the one she�d been born with. �I was experiencing the same insecurities that had plagued Mum,� said Deborah, 21, from Teddington, Middlesex. �I was self-conscious at school, and tried to avoid people catching sight of my profile. If photos were taken of me, I'd insist they were done from the most flattering angle. I asked Mum if I could have a nose job like she'd had. She assured me that I could when I turned 19 - and I couldn't wait.� Deborah had rhinoplasty in 2010, four months after her birthday. Her mother Fery, a 56-year-old accountant, not only paid the �6,000 fee but also helped her daughter find a reputable surgeon. The Herrys are among a growing number of mothers and daughters having the same cosmetic procedures to correct what they see as shared genetic flaws. Cosmetic surgeon Mr Azhar Aslam said: �There is a trend for mothers and daughters to have surgery, often at the same time. �Women inherit body shapes and facial features from their mothers, so it's not surprising that if they're not happy with something, they both come in to change it. The process is less daunting when they do it together.�

Google's search app for Android now starts a new voice search when you say the hotword "OK Google" instead of just "Google". Additionally, the new hotword also starts a fresh search while the app is displaying results from the previous search. This change comes bundled with the latest (2.8.7) update and activates when you manually update the language pack.
"OK Google" is also the hotword for the iOS Google search app and the Google Chrome desktop browser. The hotword for those products dovetails with Google Glass' "OK Glass" search call-up as well. The change was made in an effort to reduce false hotword recognition; "Google" by itself tended to cause the app some confusion, presumably because that brand name is so often used in everyday conversation.
This minor change is just one part in a company-wide, coordinated push towards a more dependable and natural linguistic interface between humans and machines running Google products. Google's Knowledge Graph, for example, aims not only to answer and converse with users, but to anticipate their queries based on context; "Hummingbird" is another arm of the project.
To activate the new "OK Google" hotword for your Android Google search app, first make sure you have the latest update. Open the app's settings, then select "Voice", "Language", and finally "Offline Speech Recognition". Download the language pack update from there and restart the app. "OK Google" will be your new search hotword from here on out.

I've been playing around with the HTC One S for several times now, and I have to say it's thieved a little item of my center. The components is just about ideal, with a 4.3-inch qHD display and a slimmer metal unibody spend, and application like HTC's Feeling 4 overlay and Operating system 4.0 Ice Ointment Food only enhance the cope.
But, as per regular, there can be a lot to consider out there. The large community of cellular only develops greater by the second, with hot new mobile phones establishing departed and right. Just these days, Sprint's Universe Nexus and the LG Viper arrived on shop racks, and lest we ignore that the iPhone 4S is available while the One X is simple times away.
So many alternatives.
To help, we've put the One S up against it's biggest opponents, the HTC One X and the iPhone 4S, in a specifications series. Who will come out on top? Well, my special visitors, that tennis ball is in your trial.
Admittedly, the One S has smaller specifications than both the One X and the iPhone 4S, but it creates up for these insufficiencies in the little elements. And it's the little elements that depend, right?
The iPhone 4S has the excellent display, to be sure, and the One X is a near second to Apple's special with regards to ppi, but there can be something to be said for display dimension. The 4.3-inch display on the One S is just good, as Goldilocks would say, and the cellphone seems extremely relaxed in the side.
This is because HTC discovered a way simply to move that thin range between being light and portable and sensation inexpensive. It's silently amazing.
Of course, the elegance of iOS cannot be had on the One S, nor can Apple's top quality style or 64GB of built kept in storage space. But maybe The apple company is certainly not your preferred taste.
Might I recommend the One X? Especially if you are an AT&T loyalist — the One S is only available at T-Mobile for plenty of moment. This cellphone is for the giant-handed Operating system fan who understands a strong style and a well-spec'd system.
Luckily, costs is about the same across the panel here, so it really comes down to what you wish best.
What'll it be, guys?

Curators at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College are taking down a remarkable show that told the story of the American West from unusually broad perspectives. The objects on display ranged from a Frederic Remington statue of a cowboy on a bucking bronco to strikingly modern paintings of environmental devastation.
In a catalog essay, Heather Fryer, a Boston College history professor, said the show, ''Cowboys, Indians and the Big Picture,'' was meant to explore ''the breadth of contemporary Western visual culture'' and address ''America's uncertainty about the meaning of the West to the nation as a whole.''
When they finish cleaning out their galleries, curators here will begin putting up ''Eire/Land,'' a new show that is just as ambitious. Scheduled to open on Feb. 2, it will trace the idea of land as a central feature of Irish history. It will include works from the Middle Ages to the modern era, drawn from Irish libraries, the British Museum and a variety of private collections.
These shows, which reach far beyond traditional art history into sociology, political science and gender studies, reflect the new role that university museums have assumed in recent years.
As large public museums concentrate increasingly on blockbuster exhibitions featuring the world's best-known artists, those on university campuses are producing more innovative, multidisciplinary shows. They draw on faculty members in many departments who view art objects more and more as research tools. Often the shows are accompanied by lavish catalogs filled with thought-provoking essays.Continue reading the main story
''University museums are doing things we never did before and that no one else has really done before,'' said Nancy Netzer, director of the McMullen. ''We have whole campuses full of talented people to draw on, and we're learning how to take advantage of that in very creative ways.''
Many universities have had art museums on campus for years, but with the exception of a few prominent ones, most were satisfied with introducing students to the rudiments of art history. Few staged shows of their own, published catalogs or appealed to audiences beyond the campus.
''We're now drawing a student population that is much more visually literate than past generations,'' Ms. Netzer said. ''People used to think that the only real information they could get was from print, but younger people have been brought up to believe that you need a mix of the written and the visual. That made us start re-evaluating our role, and from there, the whole thing just took off.''
The University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor is also in the forefront of this new movement. It recently presented ''Women Who Ruled: Queens, Goddesses, Amazons, 1500-1650,'' a study of leaders in various European countries who were women. The show displayed more than 90 paintings, drawings, medallions, sculptures and decorative art pieces to examine how women like Britain's Queen Elizabeth I and Sweden's Queen Christina used and were used by artists to confront questions about the role of powerful women.
Early next year, the Michigan museum will present two shows of Chinese art that are partly outgrowths of the university's highly regarded Asian studies program. Another exhibition will focus on works by and about St. Petersburg, drawing on research by professors of Russian studies. The St. Petersburg show will be enriched by Russian theater and dance performances, giving it a breadth that is possible on a university campus but would be beyond the reach of many city museums or performance centers.
These shows, like many of the big university exhibitions, also draw heavily on concepts developed by guest curators who are professors in fields other than art history.
''We have a huge talent pool just outside our door, and that's why you're seeing a lot more vibrancy coming out of university museums,'' said James Steward, director of the University of Michigan museum. ''There's also a sense that many of our large civic museums have so many financial pressures that they're going to be focusing on exhibitions that appeal to the largest number of people in the broadest community, and offend no one. That has somewhat changed the scope of their mission.''
Directors of university museums say that many trustees and private donors are impressed by their new ambitions and are responding with more funds.
''We're going to be choosing an architect for our expansion project this winter,'' Mr. Steward said. ''Our major corporate donor is Ford Motor, and they're deeply enthusiastic about what we're doing. Everywhere you look, you see not only that big universities are doing very creative things with their art museums, but that donors love it.''
But in their search for revenue to pay for their expanded programs, some university museums, usually free to the public, have begun charging admission. Last summer the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., for example, began to charge $3 to visitors not associated with Brandeis or any other university.
''It's fiscal reality,'' said Joseph Ketner, the museum's director. ''We almost doubled our exhibition space, and the ambition of our program has grown considerably. The admission charge hasn't cut into our number of visitors at all. It's also generating more income than we expected.''
Some university museums specialize in showing work by artists who are not established enough to have shows at large public museums. A notable example is the U.C.L.A. Hammer Museum, which reserves three galleries for projects by contemporary artists.
''We're licensed to make mistakes, to explore, to stretch boundaries,'' said Ann Philbin, the museum's director. ''This has always been the purview of university galleries, but now people are hungrier than ever for those alternatives.''
The U.C.L.A. museum often juxtaposes historical and contemporary exhibitions. In January, for example, it will open two shows of works on paper. One, ''Inventing the Print: 1500 to 1800,'' will focus on the early years of printmaking. The other, ''International Paper,'' will feature the drawings of 22 emerging contemporary artists. ''We'll shine a light on things that may not be considered fine art but that we consider worthy of exhibition in a museum context,'' Ms. Philbin said. ''We inhabit the margins, which these days is a very exciting place to be.''Continue reading the main story

S.E.S. (Sea, Eugene, Shoo), (Hangul: 에스.이.에스) was a popular K-Pop girl group that signed with SM Entertainment. Lasting from 1997 to 2002, they were viewed as the female version of boy band H.O.T., another SM group who also enjoyed phenomenal popularity during the same years.
S.E.S. was the first highly successful female K-pop group. They were not unchallenged: groups like Fin.K.L and Baby V.O.X debuted soon after S.E.S. and were also successful. Although an intense rivalry developed between S.E.S. and Fin.K.L fans, members of both groups have always stated that there was no rivalry and that they in fact were friends. However, while S.E.S. managed to consistently have high sales numbers for their albums, it was Fin.K.L who won a daesang (대상) (the Korean equivalent of the Grammy Award) for "Artist of the Year", from various music award shows.
Through the years, the members have gone through various style and image changes, from cute to sexy to mature, without losing their strong fanbase. S.E.S. broke up at the end of 2002, and its members have gone solo to varying degrees of success.

What policy came out of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas?
- print Print
- list Cite
This landmark case held in the Supreme Court in 1954 led to the desegregation of public schools. For, this decision overturned that of Plessy v. Ferguson which ruled in 1896 that state-sponsored segregation of public education was legal. Of course, this Supreme Court decision was considered a major victory in the civil rights movement because prior to this ruling seventeen states required segregated schools. Nevertheless, it would be a few years before schools became truly segregated. The most notable act of desegregation was that of what is known The Little Rock Nine who were nine black students that the National Guard escorted into Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, after President Eisenhower ordered the troops to counter the act of Governor Orval Faubus who had mobilized the Arkansas National Guard against this desegregation.
There were several issues involved in the Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education. One of these was the fact that the schools for blacks were really not "separate but equal." Often the school buildings were run down, books came from the white school after they have been used for years, and usually there was no funding for such things as school buses. Another issue was political. For, when Justice Douglas traveled to India in 1950, he was asked about the treatment of "the Negro" in the United States. Douglas, then, became concerned about the image of the United States to other non-'European countries. In a 1954 speech to the American Bar Association, Chief Justice Earl Warren declared,
Our American system like all others is on trial both at home and abroad....The extent to which we maintain the spirit of our constitution with its Bill of Rights, will in the long run do more to make it both secure and the object of adulation than the number of hydrogen bombs we stockpile.

After they killed my best friend I was angry
After they ruined my thirteenth birthday I was determined
To get to the forest
To join forces with Gabriek and Yuli
To be a family
To defeat the Nazis after all.
Jesus. I feel like I've been properly through the emotional wringer with these books.
So at the end of Now, we knew that Felix had survived the war and had emigrated to Australia with Gabriek. We know that Felix survives, so it made me wonder how he would continue to maintain interest and tension in the final two books.
He does it by serving up lashings of Nazi brutality and terror, that's how. Gleitzman writes with a sledgehammer, which is not a style I generally enjoy but because of his subject matter I think it's actually quite appropriate. He never once pulls his punches, which is a brave thing to do, considering this is a MG/lower YA book. But then, when you're writing about the holocaust you really can't beat around the bush of gloss things over.
And that ending. Bloody hell.
The thing that prevents this book from being a complete misery-fest is Felix's delightful narration and inspiring optimism. It's like, holy shit, the kid has has had literally the worst childhood it's possible for someone to have, but he never throws his hands in the air and gives up (which he'd be perfectly entitled to do).
Like the other books, I listened to this on a Bolinda audiobook and it was narrated by the author. This really added to the whole experience.

All my circle shares are made to honor you!
Technical problems kept me from making my presence adequately felt. I regret that I couldn't thank everyone enough for keeping me in their circles without asking anything.
I have disappointed the ones that asked for the moon, and I'm sorry for that. I have been unfollowed or marginalized by people I have communicated with, and why not, helped to be where they are now.
The Invincible, my core circle, is the core of almost every important circle shared on Google Plus at any moment.
My circles are made to be added, they will fill your streams with pleasure, joy and wisdom.
To be a member in my circles, you have to be "you", to have something to say of your own.
I cannot promise you that I'll add you if you do this or that! I don't actually promise anything. There are limits to circles, and there are limits to following. It's ok, even when that makes things a little bit elitist, you know how, the lower the number you follow comparing with the higher followers count, the more "influential" you are. This has no relevance.
The essence of Social Media is communication!
A celebrity has no time to communicate! If sometimes, some of them do it, they do it for us, to know what they think, to remain in our minds or hearts. Most of the time, someone is paid to "post" in their place, mostly schedules and official stuff.
You are not requested to follow anybody, you are only given a few suggestions. Some organizations pay for the membership in the SUL, so it is up to you to follow or unfollow anyone.
On Google Plus, the spirits are divided between the supporters of circle sharers and the utterly opponents! The opponents are totally against circle sharing on the premises that the sharer is asking the members to do things to be kept in the circle, and the non members to do a lot of other things, which sometimes translates as praising the sharer incessantly, giving him wings, or "doing" his shoes, or using some tongue…
"How shiny you are, your greatness, your highness is so high that I need my spectacles to reach your highest peak, and humble thanks in advance for considering me to your future share, I'll share this circle with my own profile and with all my other twenty business pages, so, thank you, thank you, thousand times thank you!"
The opponents are actually envious for not being in the shared circles because "there is something there", especially if they feel very valuable themselves, and they are craving for followers. Maybe I'm joking, maybe that's true.
But I'm sure they refer to amateurs. Amateurs copy what they see around, and unfortunately, there is a lot of malpractice in the "circle sharing world".
When creating a circle, you can't compel anyone to do anything, and you can't promise that everyone who will share the circle will be a member, because it's impossible. The limit is five hundred. I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself.
Therefore, there is a compensation law at work. It is no doubt that you gain some new followers, especially if anyone who really considers your circle valuable, adds the circle and shares it, himself included. Adding the circle, it means that you are added automatically. The only problem is the visibility, so the most important thing in "circle sharing" is for you to be a member in someone else's publicly shared circles.
There are some sharers who impose they'll be added by the wannabies, in order for them to become members in a future circle, meaning that as a reciprocal change, "you add me and I'll add you".
Sometimes, I saw such sharers who add you or a whole circle, add themselves just for sharing it, and after that they delete the circle altogether, which is the worse practice to do.
If you don't know how to create a circle, ask and learn, or, wait and learn. Some sharers (most of them don't do anything else beside sharing circles all week around), recommend that you should promise something in exchange for members to handle your circle, to share it or plus it, or whatever.
Don't! Don't request, don't promise! Create content, you have to deserve to be added by someone, after that it won't count if you follow that person or not.
The members haven't asked you to be introduced in your circle, who are you to ask them to do things, when they don't know you?
Better stay calm, create some useful content, and when they will check you out, you'll have something to show. Be polite when you comment on their posts, be good!
If you "live" on Google Plus just by sharing circles, what followers you acquire? You'll have what you were looking for, just some circle sharers. You want quality followers? Stay calm, be cool and create, that's the magic word.

Student Involvement
The Leavitt Center is comprised of four different levels of involvement. The top of the pyramid is the Executive Director who oversees the functions of the center. The next level is the Leadership Team, made up of the Student Director, Marketing Director, and Internship Coordinator. Following them is the Executive Council, comprised of ten student members. The fourth level houses the Fellows, a group of twenty students who pair up and work with an Executive Council member.
To get involved, students can apply in the spring for the following year's team. If the deadline has passed, it is suggested that students sign up for weekly emails, attend events, and get to know those in the Leavitt Center. There is always turnover within the center as some students go on trips, serve an internship, or leave school.
To sign up for the email list, please contact the Leavitt Center or stop by in person.
Executive Council & Fellows
The Leavitt Center is a student-led organization that focuses on leadership, citizenship, service, and research within the SUU and local communities.

The Android One is a program initiated by Google that creates a platform for Smartphone manufacturers to create ultra-cheap Android Smartphones.
Google does all the complex work of figuring out all the material costs and passes this info to device manufacturers to create the 'ideal' budget Smartphones.
Hardware manufacturers collaborating with Google on the Android One project include Acer, Alcatel OneTouch, ASUS, HTC, Intex, Lava, Lenovo, Panasonic, Xolo, and Qualcomm.
The Android One platform is all in efforts by Google to boost Smartphone penetration in emerging markets through the provision of affordable smartphones.
The Android One project is also looking into complementing the Android OS, which Google is optimizing to run on low-cost hardware.
In addition to boosting the penetration of Smartphones, the Android One Smartphone will run Android Stock and receive automatic update as soon as they become available. Android One Smartphones will, in fact, be the first to receive the Android L update.
The Android One Smartphones were to an extent inspired by the impressive performance of the Moto G and Moto E.
Through the Moto E and G, Google was able to provide an awesome user experience to devices in a price range that was for long associated with second-rate smartphones running outdated Android versions.
With the latest IDC report pointing to the exponential growth of the emerging smartphone market, Google might just be on its way to dominate both the hardware and software aspects of the Android OS.

Multi-Axis Woodturning – All My Scoops
by Alan Stratton on Thursday, July 30th, 2015 | Comments Off on Multi-Axis Woodturning – All My Scoops
May also be viewed on YouTube – but please stay here if possible.
To complete my video series on wood scoops, I turned this cedar scoop about 7 inches long and 2 inches diameter, finished with beeswax and mineral oil.
The turning axes were:
- The original center of the wood for the scoop.
- A skewed axis for the handle.
- The original axis for the end of the handle.
One safety note: I used hot melt glue to fasten the scoop to a piece of scrap before sawing the scoop. I did not wnat the round scoop turning at the saw.
I love the finished look and feel of these three cedar scoops. I can improve each, I'm sure, but that's for the future. The cedar feels crisp and light and sounds nice when two are gently hit together.
Good turning.

Islamic Banking and Finance in the European Union
A Challenge
Edited by M. Fahim Khan and Mario Porzio
Chapter 15: Islamic Banking in the United Kingdom
Rodney Wilson
Rodney Wilson This chapter examines the experience of Islamic banking in the United Kingdom since 1980, focusing on wholesale operations, retail saving and investment products and home finance. Regulatory and legal issues are discussed, as well as institutional developments and the challenges of serving the British Muslim community of over 1.8 million people. The operations of exclusively Islamic banks are examined, notably the Al Baraka International Bank during the 1980s and early 1990s and the Islamic Bank of Britain from 2004. The activities of conventional banks offering Islamic facilities are also analysed, the focus being on the United Bank of Kuwait and its successor the Al Ahli United Bank, and more recently HSBC through its Amanah Islamic finance subsidiary and Lloyds TSB. SHARI'AH-COMPLIANT LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT Initially the major Islamic finance activity involved wholesale operations, with banks in London providing overnight deposit facilities for the newly established Islamic banks in the Gulf. These Islamic banks could not hold liquid assets such as treasury bills, which paid interest, but the joint venture Arab banks in London, such as Saudi International Bank and the United Bank of Kuwait, accepted deposits on a murabaha mark-up basis, with the associated short term trading transaction being conducted on the London Metal Exchange (Maroun 2002, 163–75). Although the staffs of the joint venture banks were mainly British and non-Muslims, they became increasingly well informed about Shari'ah requirements regarding finance, and were able to respond to the demands of their Muslim clients in an imaginative...
