Firm: KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, A Professional Law Corporation
Practice Overview:
The California based law firm, KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, A Professional Law Corporation (the "Firm") has established itself as a premier law firm throughout California and other states. Much of the Firm's success is attributable to the fact that it was created by and continues to be owned and operated by mother and son team Vivian G. Krupnick and Matthew P. Krupnick.
While both partners enjoyed successful and lucrative careers prior to opening KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, A Professional Law Corporation, they decided to join forces out of a sincere desire to provide top-notch professional legal services from attorneys who truly care about their clients. As the Firm has continued to grow and expand, the family owned and operated business has always kept its mission statement close to heart and continues to uphold its commitment to always strive to maintain its incredible record of client satisfaction and reputation for attorneys you can trust.
Frankly, at KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, the family atmosphere flows continuously from the partners and staff to each and every one of the Firm's clients. At the Firm, every member of the Firm takes their duties as each client's attorney very seriously and always goes far above and beyond what is required or expected of an attorney or law firm, and always exceed all clients' expectations with regard to what is required so that each client knows that the Firm always maintains the highest level of ethics and honesty with its clients, and will always fight vigorously for its clients throughout the entire legal process and even beyond. The Firm and its attorneys and amazing staff understand that each person's legal issues are very serious and often painful and devastating. That's why each client is treated as part of the KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK family, no matter how "large" or "small" a case may be.
Once you retain KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, you are part of the family, and you will instantly feel that you are in good hands throughout the entire legal process, regardless what that may be. In fact, as a client of KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, you will have constant access to attorneys, not just paralegals and legal assistants. Each client can always reach an attorney at the firm or at the least expect to hear from an attorney within hours of a request. The Firm goes so far as to give each client the attorneys' cell phone numbers and email addresses, both of which ensure constant access to the attorneys as well as the superb support staff carefully selected by the Firm to fit the Firm's culture of access, accountability and reliability in every regard.
Further, while honesty, loyalty, accountability and integrity are just several words that are often used to describe the Firm's atmosphere with regard to its clients, the Firm is also known for aggressively and skillfully fighting for each client for any righteous claim. The firm will fight aggressively, fearlessly, and work endlessly to obtain the best results for all of the Firm's clients. And, as is the case in many areas of life, actions speak louder than words. KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK is extremely proud of its amazing track record of obtaining successful resolutions for their clients while making sure their clients are fully informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. The Firm truly cares that each client is not only pleased with the final results of the case, but with the services provided by the Firm throughout the process. Perhaps that is why the Firm's list of happy clients continues to grow every day, and its' clients still feel like they have been treated like part of the family until the case is resolved, and even after it is resolved. Once you are part of the family, you will always feel welcome to call upon the Firm for any and all of your legal needs. And as you can see from the website, we have expanded to cover many areas of law. Please feel free to inquire any time for a free consultation.
At KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, you will have attorneys you can trust! In this day and age, sadly, its hard to find attorneys that you can truly trust, and trust implicitly, without ever having to question the fact that the Krupnick Firm is fighting for our clients and will always be honest and up front with each client. You will instantly feel a sense of comfort once you meet with one of the Firm's attorneys because trust is vital to a successful attorney-client relationship. You will quickly learn that the Firm values the trust it has and continues to establish with its clients and within the legal community more-so than it values anything else, including money. At KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, past and present clients have learned that the value of the Firm establishing and maintaining trust, respect and honor with clients and in the legal community at large is far more important than rushing a case through to obtain a quick settlement just to make a profit, or charging an hourly or contingency fee percentage that inevitably leaves a client walking away from the process feeling as though their attorneys were only interested in money. The Krupnick Law Firm has the skills, resources and courage to fight for every client's case as long as is necessary to achieve the best results for each client, whether that means taking the case to trial, or taking a settlement that our client is happy with.
If you have any questions or are in need of talented, aggressive and experienced attorneys that you can trust, please feel free to contact our office for a free, confidential consultation. Find out for yourself why others have made KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK the firm they turn to for all their legal needs. The Firm represents clients throughout California in legal matters including serious personal injury, medical and legal malpractice, employment law (wage/hour/overtime, discrimination, wrongful termination, etc.), litigation, mediation and alternative dispute resolution services, contract law (reviewing, creating and litigating contract disputes), family law, estate planning, discrimination and civil rights cases, government tort claims (both state and federal) and more. The consultation is free for any type of case and is strictly confidential (even if for you do not retain the Firm.).
Professional Profile:
Born and raised in Southern California, Matthew Krupnick has a history of helping people throughout the state of California. As a child and teenager, Mr. Krupnick engrossed himself in Martial Arts, achieving his Second Degree Black Belt in Tang Soo Do at the young age of 15 years old. After years of continuous Martial Arts training in various styles, and working as a Martial Arts Instructor teaching adults and children at various world-renowned Martial Arts Dojos, Mr. Krupnick moved from his home town, Westlake Village, to the Los Angeles area where he continues to live and work today.
Mr. Krupnick has taken the skills and knowledge he learned through his rigorous Martial Arts training and transformed them into unique and powerful skills as a litigator. Nowadays, Mr. Krupnick's "fights" only take place in a courtroom, not in a ring. However, much like with his opponents in Martial Arts, Mr. Krupnick maintains a high level of honor, dignity and respect with the others involved in the legal dispute, and especially with clients. Having said that, when fighting for clients, Mr. Krupnick has a clear, no-holds-barred approach to keep the pressure on the opposition, fight aggressively, skillfully and with one goal to acoomplish the best for each client while working within the ethics instilled in Mr. Krupnick by his partner, mentor and mother Vivian, and of course those imposed by the laws of California. Mr. Krupnick takes each case for each client very seriously, and fights each one as thought it were his ownly case, and will not back down, now matter who the other side is. Have faith in Mr. Krupnick, follow his counsel, and he will work so hard to get you what you want that you likely won't ever want someone else to fight your case for you. If the testimonials don't help show that, then perhaps an in-person meeting with him will help show you that he means business. And any case or client represented by the Krupnick Law Firm will quickly realize that they are in good hands and that they are with a firm that truly can be trusted, trusted to get amazing results, but trusted in the sense that we can almost guarantee (and we only amost guarantee because it is illegal and impossible to put these types of guarantees for clients).
Mr. Krupnick obtained the highly sought after Bachelor's Degree in Business with an emphasis and an option to specialize in Business Law (where Mr. Krupnick obtained an A in every single business or other legal class taken during undergraduate studies) at California State University, Northridge ("CSUN"). Some accomplishments that Mr. Krupnick achieved at CSUN included getting the highest grade in most business law or other legal classes he attended while pursuing his undergraduate degree at CSUN (such as a basic criminal legal class, business law, and others). In addition, Mr. Krupnick was the president of the Business Law and Legal Issues group while a student at CSUN. Mr. Krupnick continued his education at Pepperdine University School of Law, in Malibu, California where he took part in the world-renowned Alternative Dispute Resolution Program and earned his Juris Doctorate in 2004. At the age of 26, Mr. Krupnick passed the California State Bar Exam on his first attempt and then continued his career as a litigator and quickly established himself as a well-respected and honorable attorney within the legal community. Prior to opening his own law firm, Mr. Krupnick spent over 5 years working tirelessly as one of two lawyers in-house at a tremendously busy and successful litigation law firm. Mr. Krupnick was forced to learn the world of litigation on a fast track, but thankfully with the help of some great mentors. This tremendous experience is certainly part of the reason that Mr. Krupnick has become a well-respected litigator in a relatively short time
Mr. Krupnick's career as an attorney has encompassed a wide range of litigation successes involving serious personal injury matters, malpractice, employment litigation, civil rights matters, and more. As managing partner and co-owner of KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, A Professional Law Corporation, Mr. Krupnick proudly represents a diverse clientele from various different communities with clients from all walks of life throughout California and other states.
Mr. Krupnick has litigated thousands of cases throughout California and has consistently advocated not only for the rights of his clients but also for the public's right to be free from the abuses of the government and powerful private institutions. Mr. Krupnick also works with his clients to develop their understanding of viable alternatives to litigation, participating in hundreds of Alternative Dispute Resolution proceedings with excellent results.
In addition, Mr. Krupnick has continuously stayed involved with and is constantly offering and in fact donated his time to a wide range of communty acitivities, and charitable and law-related organizations, including, but not limited to: Consumers Attorneys Association of Los Angeles ("C.A.A.L.A."), the American Bar Association, including subdivisions such as the Young Lawyer's Division, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Lawyers Association, Lambda Legal and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Further, Mr. Krupnick regularly employs and mentors law and paralegal students to teach and prepare them for issues relating to litigation and the practice of law. Mr. Krupnick loves teaching what he has learned, both in informal settings and in formal teaching situations. For all of these accomplishments and more, Mr. Krupnick has been selected as a "Rising Star" in the popular legal magazine "Super Lawyers" in both 2009 and 2010 and as a "Top Young Lawyer in Southern California" in the Los Angeles Magazine for 2009 and 2010 as well.
Mr. Krupnick and his firm continue to provide exceptional legal services while maintaining the highest level of trust and satisfaction between the Firm and its clients. The firm prides itself on proving exceptional legal service, while maintaining the Firm moto: "At KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK, A Professional Law Corporation, you can rest assured that you will have ATTORNEYS YOU CAN TRUST!"

Our son, Chris, taught me about time quilting. Now whenever I do a little bit of time quilting, I silently thank Chris and wonder how many people know the art of time quilting.
Time quilting is when you fill in time gaps doing something else. I especially like it in the morning when preparing breakfast. While the bacon is slowly cooking, I prepare the quinoa to warm and spinach to cook. The eggs are the last to fix. While my master chef husband cooks the eggs, I make the coffee. It is amazing how fast breakfast goes together with a little bit of time quilting.
I appreciate the many helpful things I have learned from Chris. I have taken some of his courses, which are great. I have read all his books because I am his proud mother – and they are all good. We listen to his pod casts. I enjoy his daily on-the-go Facebook messages.
Most of all, I anxiously await his Sunday morning newsletter. You never know what you are going to get. Below is a sample of Chris's newsletter from last Sunday, February 19, 2017.
Are you busy, Diane ?
It's kind of a trick question, but not the way you'd think. Everyone thinks they're busy. Everyone feels busy. And if you start to feel offended because by Buddha, you really are busy and Chris Brogan doesn't know anything!!!! – well, then I know a secret.
Take the Backpack Test
If I gave you a backpack and said "Walk around for five minutes and put stuff in this backpack until it's full," you could finish the task in probably 30 seconds. It wouldn't take long to fill that backpack with whatever's nearby. Full? You could stuff that baby with things.
Now, instead, what if I said, "Your house is going to burn down. Take 5 minutes and put in the backpack the only items you can pull from the fire." Five minutes isn't nearly enough. The backpack is too small. How can you possibly fit it all in?
Guess how you are normally filling that backpack? A or B?
Why Are You Too Busy?
You're busy because you stuff too much junk into your day and you don't focus on the most important facets of your work. "But Chris," you might be tempted to write me back, but I'm going to smile politely when I listen to your excuses. In fact, want me to give them to you early?
- Other people – I can't control other people.
- Kids and/or sick relatives – They fill my day up.
- Boss – she's such a jerk.
- Illness – oh, I'm in rough shape.
- So much work – oh, you just have no idea.
Which one's yours?
Know why they're excuses and not really a reason? Because everything that needs doing is being stuffed out by tons of tasks that do NOT need doing.
I don't care if you can only work 2 hours a day. My bet is that you're not working on what matters during those two hours.
Focus on Your Core Work
Here's how you find your core:
- What do I sell?– Even if you're working internally, you SELL something – some product or service or unit of work.
- Who is my buyer?– Again, your teammates or boss might be the buyer, but there's always a buyer.
- What do they need most?– This is really where you'll start seeing it.
Do they need a blog post on the 5 Things Small Businesses Must Do in 2020? No, they need what you sell. Do they need you to figure out podcasting once and for all? No. Do they need you to get over your fear of sitting in front of video? No.
If you only had two hours a day to devote to your core business, you could still get a lot more done than you're doing now. It's all a matter of uncovering the process that gets you where you need to go. You can figure it out, if you stop stuffing junk in your backpack.
Or, you can join me.
Run Yourself
On Tuesday, I'll walk you through how exactly to uncover your core work in our Run Yourself webinar. That's one of five solid topics I'm covering in the hour, all dedicated to making you a much more solid owner, to removing some of the uncertainty and turmoil from your day, and putting you on the path to a better backpack of will drive your success.
But like I said. You don't need me to know that you're filling your backpack the wrong way right now.
You know it's about finding your core work and doing that instead of what you're doing now.
You're an owner. This is yours to own. Are you ready?
I never talk about my kids, but if you want interesting information every Sunday, sign up at Owner.Media. Own your own life.

Another great progression for Rylan Clark, a cleint of The Presenter Studio as he has been doing his own quiz show for ITV daytime.
Quizes are a hard thing to get right for daytime and they can take years to develop. But if you get it right they can run and run so for a presenter to land their own one it can be great news!

Netscher, Caspar
NETSCHER, CASPAR (1630-1684), German portrait and genre painter, was born at Heidelberg in 1639. His father died when he was two years of age, and his mother, fleeing from the dangers of a civil war, carried him to Arnheim, where he was adopted by a physician named Tullekens. At first he was destined for the profession of his patron, but owing to his great aptitude for painting he was placed under an artist named de Koster, and, having also studied under Ter Borch, he set out for Italy to complete his education there. Marrying, however, at Lige, he settled at Bordeaux, and toiled hard to earn a livelihood by painting those small cabinet pictures which are now so highly valued on account of their exquisite finish. After removing to The Hague, he turned his attention to portrait-painting, and in this branch of his art was more successful. He was patronized by William III., and his earnings soon enabled him to gratify his own taste by depicting musical and conversational pieces. It was in these that Netscher's genius was fully displayed. The choice of these subjects, and the habit of introducing female figures, dressed in glossy satins, were imitated from Ter Borch; they possess easy yet delicate pencilling, brilliant and correct colouring, and pleasing light and shade; but frequently their refinement passes into weakness. The painter was gaining both fame and wealth when he died prematurely in 1684. His sons Constantyn (1668-1722), and Theodorus (1661-1732), were also painters after their father's style, but inferior in merit.

Remembering the fallen on Veterans Day
Today is Veterans Day, when we remember those service men and women who fought for the United States in every war the nation has waged. It was originally called Armistice Day and commemorated the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. A year later, President Woodrow Wilson made the proclamation:
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.…"
In 1938 it became a legal holiday, and in 1954 it became Veterans Day, to honor veterans of World War II and all other wars. Often marked with patriotic parades, somber remembrances and suspension of regular business, it was observed as a three-day holiday weekend for a time in the 1970s, until Congress moved the official holiday back to Nov. 11 starting in 1978.
It remains a holiday for American schoolchildren, teachers and government workers. And all national parks and national forests will be waiving admission fees today. But many office workers will be in their cubicles. I'll have on display my red paper poppy from the British Legion. As a story from the Voice of America notes:
The symbol comes from a World War I poem by a Canadian military physician, lamenting the death of a friend, citing that on the battlefields where the dead lay, poppies still grew.
Thirty-six-year-old Michael Newcomb sports a poppy on his lapel like millions of other Britons.
"It is an important tradition. A lot of people died. It is important to remember them, and I think it is a very nice tradition," he said.
For many, Veterans Day is especially poignant this year in the wake of last week's tragedy at Ft. Hood. President Obama spoke at a memorial service there Tuesday, and more remembrances are planned today.
We'd like to hear about your memories of your loved ones on this Veterans Day.
-- Claire Noland

I picked up my Design Team Kit from Scrapbooks Plus on Thursday and have begun my work. This month the kit is almost entirely Jenni Bowlin products, which to me has a similar feel to the Anna Griffin lines of paper. So I got out my Anna Griffin scrapbook for inspirational ideas. For the two page layout I have scraplifted a design from December last year involving pleating and the musical sheets. Since the palette of this line is not as bold as the line used in that layout, I am sure to make some
alterations to blend the colors in a way to pop off the page. Here's a peek at my progress so far.

I'm extremely exited to announce my latest release, the 'Feels Like Fire' EP! While working on this EP I decided it was important to me that this work stand apart as having it's own feeling and vibe that is different from my previous works. While I personally love the dark and aggressive sound of my previous release the "Prophication" EP I wanted this EP to show some different aspects of my musical sound. To me this EP stays true to the fun of the more bangin sound that I'm known for but at the same time has moments that are more emotional, vibey and about "the Feels"… hence the title "Feels Like Fire".
I want to give a quick shout out to my producer friends Crywolf and Must Die who each wrote a song with me on the EP and my friends Mariana Bell, Alyssa Palmer, and SunSun who all lent me their amazing voices and sang on the EP! (Thanks Guys!)
Any way enough chit chat, I'll let the music do the rest of the talking! You can stream the entire EP below i've also thrown in a FREE DOWNLOAD of "Nobody Gets Out Alive" down at the bottom and if you care to support you can pick up the full ep at the iTunes link below!

John Jirus (born 1977) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Xavier. He is perhaps best known for his appearances with Ring of Honor between 2002 and 2004, where he was the second ROH Champion.
Professional wrestling career[edit]
Jirus trained under Tony DeVito before debuting in 1995. He wrestled for various independent promotions in New York City, adopting the ring name "Xavier", before joining Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2002.
Ring of Honor (2002-2004, 2006, 2007)[edit]
Xavier appeared on the first ever ROH show, The Era of Honor Begins, on February 23, 2002, defeating Scoot Andrews. Throughout the following months, Xavier feuded with Andrews and James Maritato. He took part in the Road to the Title tournament, attempting to become the number one contender to the ROH Championship, but was eliminated in the first round by Amazing Red. After decisively defeating Andrews on several occasions, Xavier requested, and was granted, a shot at the ROH Championship. He faced the incumbent champion, Low Ki, on September 21, 2002, and defeated Low-Ki in a match which saw extensive cheating on the part of Xavier and interference from Christopher Daniels.[1] Following his victory, the newly crowned champion joined Daniels' heel stable, The Prophecy. With the help of The Prophecy, Xavier successfully defended his title against Jay Briscoe, A.J. Styles and, on two occasions, Paul London, before losing to Samoa Joe at Night of Champions on March 22, 2003.[1]
Following his defeat, Xavier was absent for several months. He returned to ROH at Death Before Dishonor on July 19, 2003, and subsequently turned his back on The Prophecy. He lost to his former partner, Christopher Daniels, in a match for the number one contendership on August 16 at Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies. Throughout the remainder of the year, Xavier took part in the Field of Honor tournament, losing to Matt Stryker in the semi-finals, and feuded with John Walters, culminating in a "Fight Without Honor" at Final Battle 2003 on December 27 which was won by Walters.
In 2004, Xavier joined The Embassy, a heel stable led by Prince Nana. He remained in The Embassy until April 2004, when he was sidelined for six months with a shoulder injury. He recovered from his injury in December 2004 and returned to the independent circuit.
Xavier returned to ROH on February 11, 2006, challenging Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Championship after Embassy member Alex Shelley missed the event due to weather conditions. He lost to Danielson by disqualification following interference from Jimmy Rave, another member of The Embassy. On February 16, 2007 Xavier returned to ROH to replace an injured Davey Richards in a "four-way fray" match involving SHINGO, Jack Evans and Jimmy Jacobs. He was eliminated first.
Independent circuit[edit]
Xavier has competed for numerous independent promotions during his career, including USA Pro Wrestling, UXW, Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling (3PW), East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA), MXW, Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW), New York Wrestling Connection (NYWC), Northeast Wrestling (NEW), and Chaotic Wrestling.
Xavier first appeared in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on January 18, 2003, losing to Chuck Palumbo on an episode of WWE Velocity. He made further appearances on Velocity on March 8 and June 28 of that year, losing to Bill DeMott and Spanky respectively. Over the following two years, Xavier made several appearances with WWE as an extra in angles. On the December 31, 2005 episode of Velocity, he lost to Paul Burchill in a match that saw him use the name "John Xavier". On May 11, 2007, Xavier teamed up with Scotty Charisma to take on Eugene and Jim Duggan.[2] On July 26, 2010, Jirus wrestled in a tryout dark match for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), losing to Douglas Williams.[3]
Mixed martial arts[edit]
Xavier began competing in mixed martial arts in 2009, fighting under the name John Xavier.[4] He won his first fight via 14-second knockout. In his second (and, as of January 2013, final) fight he lost via decision. Both bouts were under amateur rules, thus he has never competed in a professional MMA bout.

"12 Angry Men" is considered a classic for many reasons, but get ready to add study material for Indian bureaucrats to that list. Henry Fonda's 1957 masterpiece is reportedly going to help hone the leadership skills of top bureaucrats.
Economic Times has reported Fonda's character Juror 8 will become a role model to government employees, and help them learn a lesson or two about ethics and values. "12 Angry Men" is often used by corporate establishments to teach employees about conflict management.
In association with the United Nations Development Programme, the Central government is expected to release two-day training modules following the corporate style. Group A officers across the country will be expected to attend the seminar. It is understood that many former bureaucrats will assist the government in the endeavour and act as facilitators of the course.
ET reports that throughout the seminar bureaucrats will be encountered with the ethos of accountability, creativity/possibility thinking, going within, positivity, positive vision and inspiring goals.
"12 Angry Men" is a movie about 12 men who are members of a jury tasked with the responsibility of determining if an 18-year-old boy from a slum is guilty of stabbing his father to death. Initially everyone of them, except Juror 8, votes "not guilty" in the preliminary tally, and that solitary vote forces the rest of the jurors to rethink their decision.

Cold in a Love Climate
His marriage was miserable from the beginning, and his relationships with his daughters tenuous at best. I caught of glimpse of both during the six months my mother and I lived with them during our first trip to California. My uncle is unashamedly obsessed with money, mathematics, chess and good health. He always seemed to me an eminently selfish man. He says things about his daughters and his wife that make my blood run cold.
His affair with this young woman shocks me, but not for the reasons I expected. It's adulterous; my aunt won't give him a divorce. It smacks of a mid-life crisis that has gone on for too long. But that's not what discomfits me. Rather, it's my uncle's happiness. He seems aware that his situation is morally problematic, and yet he confesses that he hasn't gotten along with anyone in his life as well as with this young woman. I can't imagine how she can love him -- I would give an arm and a leg to talk to her, or at least to observe her -- but the fact that she makes him happy is astounding and makes me think that she's not faking it. Perhaps she's after his money, though he doesn't have that much, and perhaps in the back of his mind he's aware of that. But then there's the happiness, and people are willing to give up a lot for happiness, even their dignity, social acceptance, morality.
My mother is convinced that my uncle has lost a marble to be playing house with this young woman. She keeps poking and prodding at him to move back to California, where he owns a house that's now rented out, or to Michigan where his wife takes care of their only granddaughter. He visited my parents last week, and my mother said to him, "Just stay in California, don't go back next week." (This speaks volumes about my mother.)I blurted out that he can't not go back; his lady friend (I used exactly these words, which speaks volumes about me) is waiting for him in Romania. In what is the only gesture of affection I have ever seen from my uncle in my entire life, he came up to me and shook my hand and gave me a stiff hug. "Thank you," he said, "thank you."
I was mortified. I don't agree with what he's doing, but I don't think there's any good in pestering him to change course. He's happy, and that counts for something. But I'm of two minds about his situation, and I was uneasy about giving him and my parents the impression that I wasn't. I didn't want to suggest that happiness is worth any sacrifices of moral principle. But I didn't qualify what I had said. The conversation turned to other things.
It was only while I was driving back home that the meaning of my words started to rankle me. I come back again and again to the problem of expressing myself, to how good my words are at articulating thought and feeling. I come back again and again to this suspicion that they are much more slippery than they seem at first, much more powerful sometimes than the mind and the mouth that uses them. I felt that words betrayed me in the exchange with my uncle and my mother. I felt that I betrayed them, too.
I'm waxing pretentious and grandiose here, but I'm not as sorry as I should be. Maybe I'm like my uncle in this. My obsession with words pushes me, every once in a while, into giving up modesty and restraint. It's not safe to play around with words, as it isn't to play around with love. It can make you to lose your head, at worst, and at best your respectability; it can leave you out in the cold and in doubt of whether you deserve to be anywhere else.

Digital Ocean said it would shut down my blog if I didn't remove or edit a blog post.
by hashbrownchew
This is a story about how the VPS provider Digital Ocean required me to either delete a blog post or make it anonymous by removing any reference to the person I was writing about. If I refused to do it, Digital Ocean said they would terminate my account. The person I wrote about (Googler Travis Collins) in the blog post happened to be a friend of a Digital Ocean executive, but Digital Ocean said the only reason the blog post needed to be removed was due to a terms of service violation. Here's the blog post in its original form. I describe below how this whole incident came to pass and provide screenshots of Digital Ocean's communications. Digital Ocean promotes itself as a great place to setup a blog, and they provide instructions to make it easy for you, but you might want to learn how Digital Ocean applies its terms of service before investing a lot of time in writing blog posts.
A couple weeks ago I decided to set up a WordPress blog on a VPS provided by Digital Ocean. I didn't have specific plans to write about anything in particular but since I'm trying to retrain as a developer there would probably be a tech angle to most of what I published. One potential story idea arose when I was hanging out on another site hosted on and sponsored by Digital Ocean, chat meatspace. Chat Meatspace is one of Digital Ocean's so-called #TopDrops It's a site where a lot of "alpha geeks" hang out (as Tech Crunch describes them), including several high profile members of the JavaScript community, the Chief Technology Evangelist for Digital Ocean, and at least two Googlers that I knew of, one being a guy named Travis Collins. It's a very small community and the people are all chummy with each other.
One day, as I was lurking on Meatspace, I saw the Googler Travis Collins turn up and decided to ask his opinion about a story that Gawker had published about how Google treats its contract employees. I gave him the link to the story and he provided some very candid responses, which I took screenshots of and used to write up this blog post. Travis had no idea that I intended to write up a blog post, and, indeed, I had no real plans to write a blog post until Travis gave me his response, which I thought was somewhat newsworthy since he works for the company that was the subject of the other story. After he gave me his responses, he decided to mute me on the site, so it was impossible to communicate with him and let him know that a blog post was going to be published. My act of taking his statements and publishing them is the same as everyone does when they quote something someone says on Twitter. It's fair game to republish something in the public domain.
Several days later, after TechCrunch published its story about Meatspace, the Meatspace community discovered my blog post via a comment on TechCrunch and were really angry about it. I happened to be lurking on Meatspace as they were discussing it and took screenshots of things they said about it and me. One member of the community half-seriously (I assumed) threatened to harm me, proposing to "Godwins law this fucker." Screenshot, a reference to the practice of accusing someone of being a Nazi sympathizer in internet discussions. See Wikipedia entry here. Another member of the community, who was present and very suspicious as I asked Travis Collins the questions about the Gawker story, had taken note of my browser "fingerprint" and was now offering to share it with everyone. fingerprint screenshot
Interestingly, when the Meatspace community asked Travis Collins about the blog post, he said he didn't care. "Meh, whatever," were his words. Here's a screenshot of the question being asked and here's a screenshot of Travis Collins' response
The next day, however, I received notification from Digital Ocean about an abuse complaint, which purportedly came from Travis Collins. The complaint claimed that I had been harassing Travis Collins online and the blog post was part of that larger pattern of harassment. Here's the complaint.
The most outrageous part of this abuse complaint is that it claimed that I had been harassing and following Travis Collins around online. This is easily proven false because Travis Collins admitted that he had no idea who I was as I spoke to him on Meatspace. Here's a screenshot of Travis Collins admitting that he had no idea who I was as I spoke to him on Meatspace.
I pointed this fact out to Digital Ocean but they just ignored it, even when I also showed them that other members of the Meatspace community expressed an interest in harming my reputation (i.e. Godwins law this fucker).
Anyways, when signing up for Digital Ocean, my assumption that if a person has a complaint about content, the VPS provider would ask them to contact the publisher (me) rather than the VPS provider trying to mediate between the person with the complaint and the publisher. I asked Digital Ocean to have Travis Collins contact me and they just ignored it.
When I asked Digital Ocean how my blog post violated the terms of service, they quoted one clause from the ToS but didn't explain how my content violated it.
In reply, I pointed out to Digital Ocean that Travis Collins didn't actually care about the blog post and I provided the screenshot of Travis Collins' response to prove it.
Second, I also pointed out how the complaint contained a lie. How was it possible that I had been harassing and following Travis Collins around online if it was also true, as Travis admitted, that he had no idea who I was?
I therefore suggested to Digital Ocean that Travis Collins wasn't telling the truth about being embarrassed, or that the person who made the complaint wasn't actually Travis Collins but one of the other Meatspacers who expressed an interest in harming me. I gave them the screenshots of the Meatspace users talking about defaming me with Godwins law.
Digital Ocean didn't listen to anything I said. They required me to either remove the blog post entirely or to make it "anonymous." They said that my story was "targeting" Travis Collins and that I could easily remove any reference to Travis Collins and still make the same point. In fact they said that my unwillingness to make the blogpost anonymous lends credibility to Travis' complaint, which ignored the fact that it likely wasn't even Travis who made the complaint. Digital Ocean required me to provide legal documentation to show that I could publish the blog post. They said they would gladly respond to an injunction from a New York court! This was obviously very difficult for me to do since I'm not even in the United States!
Digital Ocean promotes itself as a great place to setup a WordPress or Ghost blog, and they provide very clear instructions how to do it, but you should carefully consider their terms of service and the content you plan on publishing, or you might end up wasting a lot of your time and their time.
By the way, I sent an email to Travis Collins and asked him if he made the complaint and he never replied!
If you're really interested, here's the whole series of communications.
First. The complaint
My initial response with their reply quoting the terms of service
I object that they haven't explained how I violated the terms of service, and also point out that Travis didn't even care about the post
their response
I initially refuse and point out how the Meatspace community said it was going to harm me
I provide them more info on Godwins law
I pointed out how the person claiming to be Travis lied about me harassing him
they respond by saying it was clearly a ToS violation and provide me two options, to make the post anonymous or remove it
I offer to remove the words "obnoxious" and "bratty" from my post and re-iterate several points they didn't respond to
I show them why it's likely that Travis didn't even make the complaint
They tell me I must comply
After I pointed out again that it likely wasn't even Travis who made the complaint, they respond by claiming the complaint had merit and they'd take action on my account if I didn't comply with their demands
I ask them to clarify what action on my account means, and they tell me my droplet would be powered down and my account locked down
They explain that locked down means 'terminated'

Sakio Bika-I will just have to move forward and take Lucien Butes IBF belt from him!
Q&A: Sakio Bika
Sakio Bika will clash with Jesse Brinkley before June 16th for the IBF #1 position, and if he wins will eventually fight for the IBF super middleweight championship against Lucian Bute. Bika talks to Fight news and tells of his respect for Brinkleys ability, but says he is confident he will defeat the American and then challenge Bute in a rematch that he is also confident of winning
You will meet Jesse Brinkley by June 16th in an IBF eliminator for the IBF #1 position. Brinkley was impressive when he defeated Curtis Stevens in 2010. Have you seen Brinkley box? Are you confident of victory? Your thoughts please.
I have seen a few of his fights. In his last fight with Curtis Stevens he looked very good. He has an exciting style and comes to fight, which is similar to the way I like to fight. Im looking forward to a good, hard, fight which should be great entertainment for boxing fans. This fight is very important to me as a win gets me another shot at Lucian Bute, so I am very confident of victory against Brinkley.
Brinkley was defeated by Robin Reid in 2007 and Joe Spina in 2006, but has scored several victories since then. Do you think his recent fight activity gives him an advantage? You have only had one fight in 2009 where you KOd Nestor Fabian Casanova. Your thoughts please.
I would love to have been more active. I have been promised a number of fights over the past 12 months but for various reasons they have fallen through. I have constantly been in the gym and have been getting plenty of quality sparring so I will be ready when the time comes to fight Brinkley.
You have boxed the best super middleweights and performed well against Joe Calzaghe, Markus Beyer and Lucian Bute. Does boxing this class opposition make you a solid favorite to defeat Brinkley?
Im not concerned about what others think about favorites in this fight, I believe in my ability and know that I will defeat Jesse Brinkley when we meet. I have proved myself at the highest level and have been a world champion (IBO) before. Brinkley has never been in the ring with a genuine world class boxer in his prime.
If successful against Brinkley you will be challenging for the IBF 168 title. You lost to champion Lucian Bute in 2007. Did his southpaw stance give you problems? Would it be a different fight this time? Your thoughts please.
That was then, this is now. While Bute has definitely improved since we met, I believe I am a much better boxer than the one that fought him in June, 2007. I now have a different trainer. I have fought a lot of southpaw boxers in my career. As for his southpaw style, my trainer is a southpaw so I am confident that we can work out a strategy to make sure I turn the tables on Bute next time we meet!
You nearly drowned at your hotel swimming pool and you were saved by your trainer Mark Pitts the day before you boxed Lucian Bute. Did this affect your performance?
Yes, I was not as focused and was distracted by what had happened. I now am learning to swim and will not go near any swimming pools before the fight.
Interbox Beat Star Boxing (Team Brinkley) and Golden Boy have formed a purse bid to promote the fight. Are you happy the fight will be in Canada and not the USA?
I am just happy to be fighting again. I am a professional boxer so this is part of the job. I dont care where I fight, I believe Im the best super middleweight in the world so Im willing to fight anyone, anywhere in order to prove it!
You won the IBO 168 title in 2008 when you stopped Peter Manfredo in three rounds. You were stripped of the title this week. Why did you not defend this title?
I have been willing to defend my IBO world title but nobody has challenged me. The IBO do not have mandatory challengers so I put out an open challenge to any super middleweight who wants to try and take my title away from me, but no one took up my offer. I am disappointed that they decided to strip me as I was proud to be the IBO world champion, but that is their decision, I will just have to move forward and take Lucien Butes IBF belt from him!
Are there any comments you would like make for Sakio Bika fans and Fight news readers?
I would like to thank everyone that has stood by me during this frustrating time where I have been unable to get a fight. I hope to repay your faith in me by being more active over the next few years as I look to take on the very best that the super middleweight division has to offer. First up is Brinkley and then I hope to be the IBF world champion before the year is out.

Shame he wasn't able to fight Allan Green (if that's what actually happened). Instead he's fighting an eliminator to get a shot at someone who has already beaten him once and would surely do so again.
Nice swimming pool excuse though, never heard that one before so credit to him for originality.

Chemtrails in the Sky Are Evidence of Nefarious Activities for Broad-Based Conspiracy Theorists
Anyone living near a major metropolitan airport has gazed up at the sky and seen them: patchworks of crisscrossing contrails left by passing jetliners. Most of us don't give a second thought to this common sight of a scratched-up sky. If we do, it's likely to reflect on the explosion in air traffic and its growing contribution to air pollution.
But for an expanding minority of Americans, those hanging contrails represent something much more sinister than increased carbon emissions. Since the late 1990s, a flourishing conspiracy theory subculture has been ringing the alarm that many of these contrails aren't normal vapor-and-exhaust contrails at all. Rather, they are chemtrails, mysterious and menacing chemical evidence of secret government programs to modify the weather and depopulate the planet.
Investigation into, and speculation over, the nature of these chemtrails has grown over the last decade from a marginal belief into a millions-strong Transatlantic Truth Quest, with chemtrails taking on the stature of celestial UFOs. If first-wave UFO sightings were the projection of early Cold War fears, chemtrails are the climate-change-age corollary, with cultural panic over pollution and changing weather patterns projected onto the clouds and planes in the sky.
As with flying saucers, hundreds of YouTube clips purport to capture cities "getting pasted" by secret government planes. Dozens of chemtrails Web sites compete for the loyalty and business of a sprawling, gullible and increasingly global chemtrails flock. Like the white lines that are its obsession, the chemtrails scene crisscrosses with every other strand in the pantheon of cosmic conspiracy culture. Most chemtrails sites, like the lovable dontchemtrailmebro.com, also peddle in 9/11 Truth, alien contact, Northern Idaho survivalism and the "suppressed" theories of the twin martyred wizards of etheric energy, Wilhelm Reich and Nicolai Tesla.
The chemtrails scene is a loud saloon of shouting New Age conspiracists spouting conflicting theories at the bar, with the usual assortment of hucksters and Internet paranoids filling the tables. The self-styled leaders of the movement are a diverse lot but share a consensus starting point that thousands of jets are spraying millions of gallons of "chemtrail soup" around the world on a daily basis.
Chemtrails, they hold, are easily distinguished from normal contrails by their longer duration and expansive dissipation patterns. Most of the spraying is believed to take place at night over the population centers of NATO countries, although some skywatchers suspect Russia and China are being targeted as well. As for the content of the soup and who is responsible for the program, that's where things get contentious. But the major theories are generally some variation or combination of the following:
1)U.S. oil companies are secretly spraying reflective chemicals in the air to reduce global warming and thus reduce criticism of fossil fuels.
2) A New World Order cabal -- also known as the Illuminati -- is spraying cities with pathogens in the first of a two-stage depopulation program.
3) NATO aircraft are involved in a top-secret weather-modification program, and/or are refining a new-generation of high-frequency atmospheric weapons.
4) The U.S. government is using commercial and military aircraft to assist and monitor weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes in order to both destroy enemies and pump money into the domestic economy through emergency spending/recovery bills.
Scott Stevens is a leading proponent of the fourth theory. A former TV meteorologist in Pocatello, Idaho, Stevens was fired when he began giving national radio interviews on chemtrails. He took his severance and moved to the foothills above Denver International Airport, where he now conducts plain-sight research into chemtrails full time, maintains the chemtrails site weatherwarsinfo.blogspot.com, and hosts "Amerika Now," a local AM-radio conspiracy culture talk show.
"I don't buy the theory that chemtrails are a pathogenic depopulation program," says Stevens. "You don't need to get so high in the atmosphere for that. And you don't need airplanes."
Instead, he suspects a global cabal is using chemtrails to maintain "situational awareness" of the atmosphere to better anticipate and control the weather. "There isn't a major weather event that can't be mitigated or exacerbated," he says. "The chemtrails allow Them to take a sort of MRI of the atmosphere."
Stevens is certain that chemtrails are an essential component of this mother of all weapons -- total weather control -- but admits being stumped by the cloak around the ground operation that supports the program. "Are these just painted-up commercial planes? Are there passengers aboard? What I do know is that the shipping companies are part of it. FedEx and UPS are compromised. Their chemtrails are egregious."
Stevens believes President Barack Obama has been briefed on the chemtrails program, but is agnostic about whether the new president can break free from the powerful, entrenched interests behind the spraying.
The darkest of the chemtrails theories holds that a massive fleet of planes, under the aegis of NATO, the U.S. Air Force or the Illuminati, is spraying the soup as a part of a "binary population elimination weapon." Stage one involves passing pathogens to weaken humanity's collective immune system. Once general T-cell weakness is attained, we can expect aerial dispersal of smallpox or anthrax. Supporters of this theory like to quote fringe independent journalists and survivalist rags like the Idaho Observer. A typical comment left under a chemtrails YouTube clip warns viewers that they are now breathing "ethylene dibromide, nano-particulates of aluminum and barium, cationic polymer fibers with unidentified bioactive material, and tiny parasitic nematode eggs of some type."
"The chemtrails are part of a genocidal program to reduce the global population by up to 90 percent," says Ken Adachi, who subscribes to the depopulation theory and runs educate-yourself.org. "The Illuminati only want 500,000 people on the planet, maximum. Chemtrails are one of the vectors. Poisoning people is easier than rounding everyone up in liquidation camps."
Adachi, who keeps a daily log of chemtrails activity in Orange County, Calif., says hundreds of people write him every week with stories of spraying over their communities. He finds hope in the radicalizing nature of their chemtrails discovery. What starts as a stand-alone concern soon leads to the question "Why?" and a shocking self-education in the reality of the Illuminati's New World Order.
Often the various theories will be thrown together into a chemtrails conspiracy soup. "Welcome to the brave new world of toxic barium skies, weather control, mind control and population control through the use of chemtrails modulated with electromagnetic frequencies generated by HAARP," says a chemtrails YouTube clip.
If you don't know what HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program)is, you have so much to learn.
* * *
The dean of the chemtrails conspiracy scene is William Thomas, the Canadian journalist who coined the term. Thomas has written a book on the subject, Chemtrails Confirmed, and produced a documentary film, Mystery Lines In the Sky. (All majors accepted at www.willthomasonline.net.) Thomas has reported finding over 300 types of virally mutated fungi in the chemtrail fallout, which he believes is a project with multiple goals. In an interview with the online conspiracy radio program, "The Jeff Rense Program," Thomas mused that possible actors ranged from the "oil industry mafia" to the United States military. But even after all of his groundbreaking research, Thomas admits that he is still waiting for "a real, honest-to-God whistle-blower" to step forward and connect all the dots.
Some thought that moment had finally arrived in 2002, when Dennis Kucinich introduced a House bill that sought to ban space weapons. Tucked deep into a subclause in the first draft of H.R. 2977 was the word "chemtrails," listed among the weapons and practices Kucinich wanted outlawed. It was the first time the word had ever appeared in any sort of official document in Washington.
For the civically challenged chemtrails scene, the event was tantamount to the United States government officially admitting that the program was "real." Although Kucinich quickly removed the word and denied responsibility for the original inclusion, chemtrails enthusiasts continue to dog the congressman wherever he speaks. In Europe, similar alarms were set off when Erik Meijer, a Dutch Socialist member of parliament, submitted an official query to European Parliament in Brussels, demanding an investigation into the phenomenon.
The Kucinich bill wasn't the first time someone in government acknowledged the chemtrails conspiracy theory. Far from it. State agencies have given more careful attention to chemtrails than any other conspiracy theory, after UFOs. And they have addressed its activists with a seriousness it is impossible to imagine with regard to, say, 9/11 Truthers.
In 2000, the EPA, NASA, FAA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a joint "Aircraft Contrails Factsheet" that sought to address the fears and claims of the increasingly rambunctious chemtrails crowd. The six-page illustrated report explains the science of contrails, such as the role humidity plays in the variance between how long contrails linger and spread, sometimes forming cirrus cloud cover; and their zero impact on human health.
The report admits a link between contrails and climate change, but says this is not the purpose of the global air travel industry. The EPA report also includes photos of contrail clusters of the kind found on chemtrails sites. Although the word "chemtrails" does not appear in the report, the structure and tone make it clear that the exercise is aimed at the chemtrails conspiracists, delivered as a school nurse might talk to a student about excessive masturbation in a roundabout way in order not to embarrass herself or the student.
The Air Force, on the other hand, has no qualms about talking straight to the chemtrailers. The USAF followed the EPA's multi-agency report with its own 24-page fact sheet on emissions. The report included a section titled "The 'Chemtrail' Hoax." Here the military bluntly addresses the idea that "the Air Force [is] involved in spraying the U.S. population with mysterious substances [and] conducting weather-modification experiments." It explains that long-lasting contrails are not new and have been under official study since the 1950s, and that the grid patterns highlighted by chemtrailers result from the National Airspace System being structured on a four-directional grid with aircraft flying at designated increments of elevation.
Inevitably, the official "denials" only served to further excite the chemtrails legions.
More popular than ever, chemtrails is the perfect 21st century conspiracy. It combines the 20th century fear of poisonous fallout with anxiety over very real changes in climate and pollution of the atmosphere, including by some of the very toxins and metals said to be ingredients in "chemtrails soup."
Like most conspiracies, there are grains of truth in its basic components. The planet is under attack. The climate is undergoing drastic changes. Governments do lie. Pollution is causing more and more respiratory illness. The military does have secret weapons programs, some of them involving high-frequency weapons and weather modification.
How individuals choose to deal with these truths -- and the larger context of civilizational crisis and individual powerlessness -- is up to them, of course. But there are healthier and much more relaxing ways of projecting skyward than imagining genocidal Illuminatic air fleets spraying toxic soup.
There is one good alternative we all learned in boy and girlhood, before computers and Internet-driven conspiracy theories began draining so much of our personal and cultural energy. It involves going outside on a nice day, finding a warm patch of grass and watching the clouds (contrails, too) as they spread, crisscross and drift.
It's amazing what we can see in the clouds. Frolicking bunnies, mating mountain goats, leaping unicorns, comforting angels. All sorts of wonderful, fantastical things…

What's in the Certification profile? Click requirements or scroll down for a full breakdown of each Profile section.
Each training organization that has a certified course will have a Certification Profile. Your profile is an ongoing record of your course. You create, save and update your profile. All sections are required but they don't have to be completed in order.
There are nine (9) sections to the profile. Review the details of each Profile section below.
Be sure to fully complete each section, be detail oriented and answer all questions thoroughly. The commission evaluates your course based on the profile you submit. Be sure to keep complete records at your organization.
Each section of your Certification Profile must be sent to PTDI once a year during your renewal period. Changes can be made at any time. Submitting your updates is only required annually. If you have significant changes, you may choose to submit your profile updates more than once a year.
started by creating your profile! Since the old reports are gone, a
Certification Profile is now mandatory.
The annual reports, recertification reports, significant change reports, and all other old written forms and reports have been eliminated. Moving forward PTDI will no longer use the old forms and reporting process.
The Cert Profile replaces all the old reports such as annual and five year recertifications. You will no longer file new annual reports or create binders for recertification. Instead you will update your profile.
By updating your profile each year, you renew your certification. Every five years your profile is used to conduct a visit and determine recertification.
During your renewal period you will receive an email reminder for the following:
After you complete the initial setup, you will NOT need to create a new profile each year. It stays with your certified course and you will only make updates. When updating, some sections may not require changes. You only need to update those sections where there are changes (most common is the enrollment section).
- Update and submit your certification profile. [mandatory] (links to each section above)
- Payment of the renewal fee. [mandatory] (invoice will be included in the email reminder)
- Complete a brief self assessment survey. [voluntary] (links to a reflection tool to enlist support for your course, does not impact certification)
- Think of this page as your Certification Profile Hub. Always use the links here to access each section.
- You can access your profile to make changes at any time. But you are not required to submit every time.
- You must submit a current, up to date profile once a year during your renewal period (you will receive a reminder).
- 1 site = 1 profile.
- If you have multiple courses at 1 site, they can all be listed on 1 profile.
- If you have multiple sites, separate profiles are needed for each site.
- While some forms are not required to upload, you must maintain all records at your organization.
- Do not make changes to your profile login or password. If you need login assistance, please contact PTDI.
- When filling out your profile click the (?) icon for additional information about a field.
Your profile includes a 'Save and Return' feature allowing you to start, stop and continue later without losing your progress. To use this feature, click 'Save Progress' before leaving the form.
You have not submitted the section until you click 'Submit'. Clicking 'Save Progress' only saves the data, it does not submit it. You will see an on screen confirmation when the section is submitted.
Your profile submission will be emailed to the address entered. Add the domains ptdi.org and formsite.com to your safe senders list so the confirmation email does not get caught in your spam folder.

Fantasy LCS: Must Plays, Sleepers, Busts for EU Week Eight/Day Two

Fantasy LCS: Must Plays, Sleepers, Busts for EU Week Eight/Day Two
So about that GIANTS feeling yesterday.... Hopefully today goes better that's all there is to say.
Must Play: sOAZ (OG) ($1208) vs. SK: freddy has died a ton this split and this is a game OG should win. sOAZ is also quite cheap today which makes him my favorite play of the day as his upside should out value his price.
Sleeper: Cabochard (GMB) ($1176) vs. UoL: Gambit are starting to come together nicely and Cabochard has been there main carry all split. Throw in the fact that he's cheap and he makes for a nice sleeper play.
Bust: Vizicsacsi (UoL) ($1211) vs. GMB: UoL looked terrible yesterday and may need some time to mesh with new Jungler Gilius.
Must Play: Amazing (OG) ($1115) vs. SK: Again, SK have died a ton this split and Amazing has scored a lot of points with good aggression to be involved in a lot of Origen's kills. Like sOAZ his price is pretty cheap as well making him a great play.
Sleeper: DiamondProx (GMB) ($1049) vs. UoL: Hope for Diamond to play Nidalee again as we saw yesterday in two games that the champion is high in early aggression.
Bust: Gilius ($1075) vs. GMB: Again I'm going to wait and see how the new UoL jungler does this week before using them. They're the fourth most expensive in their role today as well.
Must Play: Ryu (H2k) ($1512) vs. CW: I think H2k have the best match up of the day and even though they've been poor of late they should bounce back with a win against CW. Ryu has the best mid lane match up against Soren who doesn't provide much kill pressure.
Sleeper: NukeDuck (ROCCAT ($1119) vs. GIANTS: Giants looked awful yesterday and ROCCAT have been steadily getting better this split. Nukeduck has quietly been a pretty solid performer all split and he's dirt cheap today.
Bust: PowerofEvil (UoL) ($1518) vs. GMB: I think its possible he has the best game of any UoL player against Betsy, but UoL were awful yesterday and with his price being over 1.5k I'm looking elsewhere.
Must Play: Hjarnan (H2k) ($1448) vs. CW: Best match up of the day and one of the top ADC's this split. Should be a big game.
Sleeper: Forg1ven (GMB) ($1293) vs. UoL: Forg1ven is finally showing why he was considered one of the best ADC's coming into this split, even winning a game on Lucian yesterday. He's a nice upside play for a cheap price among ADCs today.
Bust: CandyPanda (SK) ($1254) vs. OG: He's been playing better but I think this match up will be preventative of scoring points for SK. Stay away.
Must Play: KaSing (H2k) ($997) vs. CW: Great match up again, KaSing has been solid all split, and he's under $1000? Sign me up.
Sleeper: Mithy (OG) ($1033) vs. SK: He's relatively cheap and although OG had a tough game yesterday, expect them to bounce back vs. SK.
Bust: Hylissang (UoL) ($1132) vs. GMB: I have UoL in a few bust spots mainly because they're more expensive than GMB. If GMB were more expensive they'd be showing up in this spot instead. I think this game could go either way but Hylissang is the second most expensive support and I'd rather use any of the two listed above or Mithy first.
Here's my lineup for Week Eight Day Two in the EULCS:
Top: sOAZ (OG) ($1208)
Jungle: Amazing (OG) ($1115)
Mid: Ryu (H2k) ($1512)
ADC: Hjarnan (H2k) ($1448)
Sup: Kasing (H2k) ($997)
Flex One: Huni (FNC) ($1486)
Flex Two: Cabochard (GMB) ($1176)
Flex Three: Mithy (OG) ($1033)
