John Ross Scouting Report
Height: 5'11
Weight: 188
Number: 1
College: Washington
Position: WR
Good athlete
Shifty WR
Very quick
One of the best deep threats in this entire draft
Good hands
Very good hand/eye coordination
Tracks the ball really well over his shoulder
Easily gets separation especially on vertical routes
Makes defenders miss in the open field
Scores TD's from anywhere on the field
Good kick returner
Body catcher
Small hands
Struggled getting off press coverage in those rare moments when he faced it
Easily gets knocked off at the top of his route, bothered by contact
His catching radius is limited
Needs to be more crisp on short and intermediate routes
Loses his footing and balance quite a bit
Struggled with drops against Colorado in 2016 game
Injuries are a concern
Other Notes:
Had surgery on both knees
First-team All-PAC-12 in 2016
He ran a 4.22 forty at the Scouting Combine and broke Chris Johnson's record. He is explosive on tape, and his speed is his greatest asset. He is one of the best vertical threats in this entire draft. Ross exploded onto the scene as a senior with 81 receptions for 1,150 yards and 17 TD's. However, he needs to become more of a technician when it comes to running short and intermediate routes. He needs to get stronger and has a tendency to catch the ball with his body. There has been a lot of talk about him going in the first round. He is one of the more overrated receivers in this draft class.

THE Pentagon is believed to be pushing for military action sooner rather than later because of the imminent onset of winter in the mountains to the north-east of Afghanistan.
Snow is already falling in the Khyber Pass between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Within a month much of the area is likely to be covered in several metres of snow blocking main mountain passes.
The conflict between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance opposition in the mountains would normally stop during this time only to restart in the spring.
The weather may turn out to be the Taliban's, and Osama bin Laden's, greatest ally. The special forces units expected to snatch the terrorist leader and his associates need to be able to get in and out quickly and will rely on helicopters.
Military experts said the winter in Afghanistan lasted until April, turning any major military campaign into a logistical nightmare.
"Temperatures plunging to -40C, a wind chill factor of formidable intensity, and snow and blizzards will negate the fighting capability of any army, however well equipped," said Maj-Gen Himmat Singh Gill, former Indian military attache to Kabul.
Indian troops fighting under similar conditions during the 11-week border war with Pakistan two years ago in Kashmir's mountains suffered heavy casualties. Every combat soldier required a logistic support of five men.
Operating helicopters in such harsh weather would also be perilous as blizzards significantly reduce a pilot's visibility.
Even the well-equipped American and allied aircraft that are likely to take part in the campaign will find the severe weather of the Afghan winter difficult to cope with.
Up to a half of the sorties flown by coalition aircraft during the Gulf war were affected by the weather.
The situation was even worse during the 1999 Kosovo conflict when RAF aircraft in particular were badly hit by poor weather, including extensive cloud, thunderstorms and occasional snow.
Air attacks were often postponed because of fears that even American aircraft fitted with all-weather guidance systems could not be sure of hitting their targets.
The RAF, which lacked the same systems, found that six out of 10 bombs dropped in Kosovo missed their targets, leading to the acquisition of the Maverick precision-guided, fire and forget, air-to-surface missile.
But even the most sophisticated satellite-linked systems can be affected by heavy snow which will provide difficulties for any device transmitting electromagnetic energy up through the atmosphere.

According to hinduism KARMA will take us to MOKSHA ....Means what ever we do while we are alive decides our life after death....if we do good we get good...or else we get bad. is it true ?
sort by best latest
My Dear Sweet Friends,
Karma is the same rule that all sages promulgate, that is; we reap what we sow. However, if we seek to Love with a pure heart, we shall not suffer from the cleansing needed to enter into the spiritual realms after our bodies die. But, if our lives art spent serving money as a god, as the world doeth, then that produceth baggage that we canst not take into the spiritual realms after the death of the body. We must be cleanse of that baggage, and that produceth some pain.
Even so, once we hath spent so much time in the hereafter, after we hast rested a while, then doeth the pull of the physical realm upon our being bring us back into a physical birth. That birth mayest be in a "Hell-world", such as is Earth today and yesterday, or unto a "Heaven-world" as spoken of by Jesus the Christ. That next incarnated life that we live, and the type of world that we live it in, shall be decide by the living of a life seeking the material, or that of a spiritual living.

November 2013
An EU programme for entrepreneurs enabled small business owners in Lithuania to expand a bike shop into a flourishing courier business.
When the owners of Lithuanian bike shop Velobic decided to diversify into the bike courier business, support from the EU helped make this transition a success.
Through the programme ,Rimvydas Butkus, one of the owners, spent three months at a bike courier firm in the Austrian city of Graz to test the idea and put together a solid business plan.
Thanks to the experience gained from the 'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' exchange, the company has increased its revenue by 10 % every year, and plans to hire new riders over the coming weeks.
"I acquired all the 'know how' to manage this type of business," Mr Butkus says.
The European Commission pays part of the costs of the exchange, which can last from 1 to 6 months.
To date, more than 3 200 people have participated in the programme.

This memorandum explains the proposed use by the
Secretary of State of new delegated powers in the Utilities Bill
as brought from the House of Commons on 20 April. It also explains
powers which: (i) seek to clarify or modify already existing delegated
powers; and/or powers which (ii) are to be exercised by the Gas
and Electricity Markets Authority ("the Authority")
established under clause 1. As the Bill contains powers which
affect both the gas and electricity industries in similar ways,
we have explained these together where it is sensible to do so.
Subsection 8 permits the Secretary of State to give
a direction to the Authority governing the payment conditions
to be included in gas and electricity licences to recover the
expenses: (a) of the newly established Gas and Electricity Consumer
Council ("the Council"); and (b) of the Secretary of
State in establishing either the Council or the Authority.
Purpose: subsection 8 permits the Secretary of State
to give a direction to the Authority, with which the Authority
must comply, as to the inclusion of payment conditions in gas
and electricity licences for the purpose of securing the payment
by licence holders of sums relating to any of the expenses mentioned
in subsection (3) (i.e. not including the Authority's own expenses).
Since the Council is independent of the Authority, there is no
locus for the Authority to determine the valid expenses of that
body (or indeed those of the Secretary of State in relation to
the establishment of the Authority or the Council), and it is
necessary to provide both for a power to recover those expenses
through licence fees and a mechanism to ensure that the Authority
makes necessary modifications to the licence conditions so as
to ensure their recovery. There is no need for the Authority to
have a similar power in relation to its own expenses, since these
are determined directly between the Authority and the Treasury,
and the Authority already has the power to propose modifications
of licence conditions so as to recover those expenses.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: a delegated
power is sought because it is not appropriate to specify licence
conditions in the primary legislation nor is it possible to say
now whether the Secretary of State will need to take any action
under this clause. A power of direction is thought appropriate
in this case because it will be addressed to the Authority alone
(see e.g. section 34(3) Gas Act 1986 and sections 47(2) and 50(4)
Electricity Act 1989). It is also consistent with the Secretary
of State's powers under other licence modification provisions
of the Gas Act and Electricity Act (see sections 8(6), 23 (5)
and 24(4A) Gas Act 1986 and sections 11(4) and 12(5) Electricity
Act 1989).
Procedure: direction signed by the Secretary of State.
Subsection 1 of new sections 4AB Gas Act 1986 and
3B of Electricity Act 1989 inserted by clauses 10 and 14 respectively,
enables the Secretary of State to issue guidance to the Authority
on the Government's social and environmental policies. Although
this is not strictly a delegated power, the issuance of guidance
imposes an obligation on the Authority, which must have regard
to it when carrying out its statutory functions. The Secretary
of State must consult the Authority, Council, licence holders
and anybody else he thinks appropriate before issuing guidance.
The guidance can only be issued 40 days after a draft has been
laid before each House of Parliament (subsection 5) and no motion
has been carried against it. Relevant precedents can be found
in sections 4 and 31 of the Environment Act 1995.
Purpose: the guidance ensures that the Authority
is fully apprised of the Government's social and environmental
policies, so far as they are relevant to the regulation of the
gas and electricity sectors, and enables the Authority to make
an appropriate contribution to the Government's overall objectives.
The Secretary of State also has the flexibility he needs to change
the guidance as appropriate in response to changing circumstances.
Subsection 6 enables the Secretary of State to make
regulations defining:
categories of information which the Authority or
any licensee may refuse to provide when the Council requests it;
circumstances in which either may refuse to provide
information so requested.
Purpose: to define the circumstances in which, or
the categories of information which, the Council may not require
licence holders and the Authority to supply to it.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: it is thought
that the level of detail that may be necessary to identify precisely
the categories of information that may be withheld and the circumstances
in which information may be withheld under this clause would be
inappropriate in primary legislation. The Government also expects
that experience may reveal that there are categories of information
which might need to be added to, or subtracted from, those which
may properly be withheld from the Council. This delegated power
will give the Secretary of State the ability to disapply the protection
thus afforded in respect of circumstances or categories where
protection proves to be unnecessary, or to extend the protection
to circumstances or categories of information not yet identified.
Relevant precedents are the provisions for altering the exceptions
to the general restrictions on the disclosure of information in
the Gas Act 1986 (see s42(3A)) and the Electricity Act 1989 (see.
s 57(4)).
Procedure: Negative resolution.
Subsection 2 enables the Secretary of State to make
regulations defining:
categories of information which the Council may refuse
to supply to the Authority; and/or
circumstances in which the Council
may refuse to supply information to the Authority.
Purpose: To define the circumstances or categories
of information which the Authority may not require the Council
to supply to it.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: as for
clause 24(6), it is likely that experience will reveal circumstances
or categories of information which should be added to, or subtracted
from, those which may properly be withheld from the Authority.
Procedure: negative resolution.
NOTE: in respect of the exercise of the delegated
powers in clauses 24 and 26, the Government issued a consultation
in March 2000, a copy of which is in the library of the House.
Interested parties have until 31 May to comment on the Government's
Clause 28 replaces the current section 5 of the 1989
Act which enables the Secretary of State, after consulting the
Director General of Electricity Supply (the "Director"),
to grant exemptions from the requirement to hold a licence. The
clause revises and extends the existing powers. New section 5(1)
is the basic power to grant exemptions by order after consultation
with the Authority. It makes it clear that conditions can be attached
to exemptions. Section 5(6) and (7) insert powers for the Secretary
of State to revoke by order (subject to consultation) an exemption
granted to a person or class of persons, for example if conditions
attached to an exemption have been breached. Section 5(8) enables
the Secretary of State by direction (subject to consultation)
to withdraw from a person in a class the benefit of an exemption
granted to persons of that class. Clause 85 amends the
powers relating to exemptions in section 6A of the Gas Act 1986
in parallel with the new provisions for electricity; in particular,
new section 6A(5) and (6) introduce the same powers to revoke
exemptions, and section 6A(7) inserts the same power to withdraw
an exemption, as are contained in the equivalent clause for electricity.
Purpose: to continue the existing system of granting
exemptions and provide more clearly for their revocation and withdrawal
in specified circumstances (and in the case of electricity, the
imposition of conditions).
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: continuation
of existing delegated powers; it is an important aid to flexibility
in the regulatory regime that the exemptions system should be
controlled through secondary legislation.
Subsection (1) of the new section 6 inserted into
the Electricity Act 1989 removes both the Secretary of State's
power to grant electricity licences and his power to give the
Director a general authority to do so. This clause then provides
that the Authority may grant licences authorising persons to generate,
transmit, distribute and supply electricity.
Purpose: This is pursuant to the Government's policy
of arm's-length economic regulation of the gas and electricity
markets by an independent regulatory body.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: this is pursuant
to the Government's policy of arm's-length economic regulation
of the gas and electricity markets by an independent regulatory
body. A similar change was made in respect of gas by sections
5 and 6 of the Gas Act 1995 which inserted new sections 7 and
7A into the Gas Act 1986 (see sections 7(2) and 7A(1) and (2)
of the 1986 Act as amended). This measure brings the two sectors
once more into line.
Subsection (6) of new section 6A inserted by clause
29 transfers from the Secretary of State to the Authority the
power to make regulations as to the procedure for applying for
electricity licences or for extensions or restrictions to existing
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: Since the
Authority has the sole power to grant licences, it should also
have the power to determine the detailed procedures for granting,
extending and restricting licences, including detailed requirements
as to the information which applicants must provide. It is the
Government's intention to introduce amendments during Lords stages
of the Bill that will have a similar effect in relation to gas
Procedure: none.
Subsection (1) of clause 32 provides that such conditions
as may be determined by the Secretary of State, and published
by him before the commencement of subsection (2) of that clause
shall be standard conditions of licences for all electricity licences
of the kind in question. Subsection (2) of clause 80 makes an
equivalent provision in respect of the determination of standard
conditions of gas licences. In this case, the Secretary of State
must determine and publish such conditions before the commencement
of subsection (3) of that section.
Purpose: The powers build on the model of the Gas
Act 1986 (as amended by section 8 of the Gas Act 1995). They will
enable the provision of a framework of standard conditions for
all licences issued under the Electricity Act 1989 and the Gas
Act 1986 as amended by the Bill. The establishment of standard
conditions of electricity licences is new. In gas, where standard
conditions are already a feature, the purpose of the power in
clause 80 is to enable the Secretary of State to replace some
existing conditions with new ones pursuant to provisions elsewhere
in the Bill. A further purpose of standard conditions of licences
is to designate those licence conditions which are susceptible
to collective amendment by the procedures set out in clause 34
(for electricity) and 81 (for gas).
Reason for seeking delegated powers: licence conditions
are complex and technical, and it would not be appropriate to
set them out in primary legislation. Drafts of the proposed standard
conditions have been published for consultation, and all comments
will be taken into account before the conditions are finalised.
This follows the precedent laid down in the Gas Act. The power
of the Secretary of State to determine standard conditions lapses
once the subsections in question commence.
Procedure: None.
Subsection (5) of section 8A of the Electricity Act
1989 (inserted by this clause) provides that the Secretary of
State may direct the Authority not to proceed with a proposed
modification to the standard conditions of licences. This power
mirrors an existing power in section 8(6) of the Gas Act 1986
(inserted by section 8 of the Gas Act 1995).
Purpose: the standard conditions of each type of
electricity licence (generation, transmission, distribution and
supply) are to be established by the Secretary of State under
subsection (1) of this clause. Subsequently, at the grant of an
individual licence, the Authority may seek to modify standard
conditions to meet the circumstances of the individual case. The
Secretary of State's power to direct that such a modification
be not made is intended to allow him to protect the standard conditions
which he has made under section 8A from being changed in a way
which negates the original purpose of the conditions. The system
of standard conditions requires that they be, by and large, applied
uniformly to all holders of a given licence type.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: having given
the Secretary of State a power to determine the initial standard
licence conditions, the Government believes that it is consistent
to give him also a power to determine whether a proposed change
to the conditions is consistent with the underlying policy.
Subsection (10) of section 11A of the Electricity
Act 1989 (inserted by clause 34) and subsection (12) of section
8 of the Gas Act 1986 (inserted by subsection (4) of clause 81)
defines "prescribed" as meaning "prescribed in
an order made by the Secretary of State". Thus the Secretary
of State may, by order, determine the values of the two blocking
minority thresholds required to secure that a proposed modification
of the standard conditions of electricity and gas licences may
not proceed without reference to the Competition Commission.
In addition, it is proposed that he may specify in
an order, for any licence type, the means by which the market
share of licence holders is to be measured for the purpose of
determining whether or not the second of these thresholds has
been exceeded.
Purpose: Clause 34 provides that the Authority may
modify the standard conditions of all electricity licences of
a given type (for example, supply licences). However, licence
holders may object to the modifications proposed, in which case
the Authority must test the level of opposition against two thresholds,
one relating to the number of licensees and one relating to their
market share. If the level of opposition is higher than either
of the thresholds, then the Authority may not proceed with the
modification proposed without referring the matter to the Competition
Commission. Clause 81 amends section 23 of the Gas Act to the
same effect.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: the basic
mechanism for modification of standard licence conditions is already
included in the Gas Act 1986, and the thresholds and the definition
of market share are on the face of the Act (section 23, subsections
(7) to (9)). They are the same for each of the three types of
gas licence and may not be changed other than by primary legislation.
This model has however proved to be too inflexible. Gas and electricity
markets are changing quickly. It is no longer appropriate that
the parameters for determining whether licences may be modified
can be amended only by primary legislation. It is important that
it should be possible to set and change these parameters in order
to allow regulation to be able to respond over time to developments
in the market.
Procedure: Affirmative procedure.
Subsection (1) of section 14A of the Electricity
Act 1989 (inserted by Clause 38) and subsection (1) of section
26A (inserted by subsection (3) of Clause 82) permit the Competition
Commission to give a direction to the Authority. The direction
relates to the licence modifications to be made following a report
on a modification reference to the Competition Commission.
Purpose: Clause 38 permits the Competition Commission
to give a direction to the Authority, with which the Authority
must comply, vetoing some or all of the licence modifications
the Authority proposes to make following a report on a modification
reference by the Competition Commission. The Competition Commission
may do so where it considers that the proposed licence modifications
are not requisite for the purpose of remedying or preventing the
adverse effects specified in its report. It is then required to
substitute its own licence modifications which it considers are
requisite for that purpose. The intention is to improve regulatory
certainty about the outcome of cases involving a licence modification
reference to the Competition Commission. Clause 82 amends
the Gas Act to the same effect.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: A delegated
power is sought because it is not possible to say now whether
the Competition Commission will need to take any action under
this clause, as such action will be dependent on a licence modification
reference being made to the Competition Commission and action
taken by the Authority following the report. A power of direction
is thought appropriate in this case because it will be addressed
to the Authority alone.
Procedure: direction by the Competition Commission.
Clause 40 introduces a new power into the Electricity
Act (already existing in gas legislation) for the Authority to
give consent to the transfer of licences. The transfer of a licence
to another party has the same practical effect as the revocation
of one licence and the grant of a new one; however, there may
be pragmatic and administrative benefits in licence transfers
for licensees wishing to sell all or part of their businesses.
Any licence may be transferable in whole or in part. In deciding
whether to give its consent, the Authority has to apply the same
criteria as it would apply if it were considering granting an
equivalent licence. The Authority is required to give notice and
consult before giving consent to a proposed transfer. Consent
may be subject to compliance with whatever conditions in the licence
the Authority thinks necessary or expedient to apply in the interests
of consumers. There is also a power in new section 7A(8) for the
Secretary of State to direct the Authority not to impose a modification
condition in a licence (that is, a condition which provides for
making modifications to the conditions of a licence) which the
Authority may have proposed to make. Clause 84 is the equivalent
provision for gas, and replaces section 8AA of the 1986 Gas Act.
Purpose: to extend the licence transfer mechanism
to electricity as well as gas, thus improving harmonisation of
the two regimes and increasing flexibility within the licensing
Reason for proposing delegated power: consistency
with existing gas provision for the regulator to consent to licence
Clause 42 introduces a new, reserve power for the
Secretary of State to provide by order that specified activities
should become licensable (that is, requiring a licence or exemption
in order to be carried on legally) or should cease to be licensable.
New section 56A (1) to (7) describes the power to make an order,
its scope and the circumstances in which it may be made. For example,
an activity may only be made licensable if it is connected with
activities for which a licence or exemption is already required.
The clause (in sections 56B to F) sets out the due process that
must be followed before the power can be exercised. This includes
consultation with those affected or likely to be affected and
a power (in section 56D(8)) for the Secretary of State to direct
that matters be excluded from any report published under section
In the case of a proposal to create a licensable
activity, the Secretary of State may only exercise the power at
the instigation of the Authority. Any objection to the proposal
by a person carrying on or intending to carry on the activity
in question would trigger a reference to the Competition Commission.
The Commission's report on its investigation would be required
to make clear whether the absence of a prohibition operated, or
might be expected to operate, against the public interest, and
only in the event of an adverse public interest finding would
it be possible for the proposal to proceed. If, in the light of
such a report, the Secretary of State were to make an order creating
the new licensable activity, the clause also gives him one-off
powers to determine standard licence conditions for the activity,
and to modify necessary standard conditions in existing licences
(new section 56A(3)(b)).
There is also a power of direction (new section 56D(8))
for the Secretary of State to exclude from publication any matter
contained in the Competition Commission's report on a reference
which he thinks would be against the public interest or the commercial
interests of any person to disclose.
In the case of removing an activity from regulatory
control, either the Secretary of State or the Authority may initiate
a proposal. The same consultation process will apply, save for
the involvement of the Competition Commission. Clause 87 inserts
identical new reserve powers - in a new section 41C (with the
due process laid down in sections 41D-H) - in respect of gas.
Purpose: to provide for the possibility that certain
activities (the undertaking of which without a licence or exemption
is not presently prohibited in isolation) may require to be brought
under direct regulatory control in the interests of protecting
consumers; or in other cases that activities may be de-regulated
and controlled only through the general law (in particular that
relating to competition and the protection of the consumer).
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: to allow
the regulatory regime to respond more flexibly to future developments
in the gas and electricity markets than is possible when licensable
activities can only be changed by primary legislation.
Procedure: affirmative resolution.
Subsection (3) inserts a replacement for the existing
subsection (2) of section 19 of the Electricity Act 1989. The
new subsection provides that the Secretary of State may make regulations
with regard to the charges which may be made by a licensed electricity
distributor to a person who requires an electrical connection
to be made by virtue of section 16(1) (as amended by clause 43).
Purpose: to replace the existing power in section
19(2) of the 1989 Act with drafting which reflects (i) the replacement
of the Director by the Authority and (ii) the creation of the
new licensable activity of electricity distribution and the abolition
of the concept of a public electricity supply licence.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: equivalent
power already exists. The changes to it are consequential.
Procedure: negative resolution procedure. Regulations
may not be made unless the Secretary of State has consulted the
Clause 53 replaces and slightly extends the current
section 39 of the Electricity Act 1989 which gives the regulator
a power to make regulations prescribing standards of performance
which "public electricity suppliers" (PESs) must meet
when dealing with individual customers. To reflect the
separation of electricity supply from distribution, new section
39A, inserted by this clause, gives the Authority powers to set
standards of performance for distributors also. Clause 54 inserts
a new section 40A which similarly replaces and slightly extends
the current section 40 of the Electricity Act 1989, which gives
the regulator a power to "determine" standards of overall
performance for distributors. Clause 89 inserts a new section,
33AA, into the Gas Act 1986 which gives the Authority a power
to make regulations prescribing standards of performance which
gas transporters must meet when dealing with individual customers.
Compensation is payable to the customer if standards are not met.
Clause 90 inserts new section 33BA which gives the regulator a
power to "determine" overall standards for gas transporters.
The regulator currently has a similar power to set these standards,
given via licence conditions rather than by statute.
Paragraphs 12 & 28 of Schedule 6 do not confer
new powers. They do however, extend the existing powers to set
standards of performance in individual cases from "tariff
"customers in electricity and "domestic" customers
in gas to all customers and potential customers.
Purpose: to give the Authority a power to make regulations
prescribing standards of performance which distributors and gas
transporters (respectively) should meet when dealing with individual
customers, and to give the Authority a power to determine overall
standards of performance.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: the corresponding
powers in the existing legislation are delegated; the new provision
is consequential on the separation of electricity supply and distribution;
and to align the gas and electricity regulatory regimes as much
as possible.
Procedure: none. But regulations may be made only
with the consent of the Secretary of State.
Clause 57 replaces the current section 42A of the
Electricity Act 1989 which requires public electricity suppliers
(PESs) to give information to customers about the standards of
performance which they have been set and their performance against
those standards, in a manner and at a frequency directed by the
regulator. The new section 42A as inserted by the clause gives
the Authority the power to make regulations that require suppliers
and distributors to give information to customers. Clause 93 replaces
the current section 33D of the Gas Act 1986 which requires gas
suppliers to give information to customers about the standards
of performance which they have been set and their performance
against those standards, in a manner and at a frequency as directed
by the regulator. The new section 33D as inserted by clause 93
is modelled on the parallel clause for electricity (clause 57).
Purpose: to give the Authority a power to make regulations
specifying the information about standards of performance which
electricity suppliers and distributors and gas suppliers and transporters
must give to their customers. These regulations may require suppliers
to pass information from distributors or transporters to customers.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: the corresponding
powers in the existing legislation are delegated; the new provision
is consequential on the separation of electricity supply and distribution
and is intended to align the gas and electricity regulatory regimes
as much as possible.
Procedure: none, as is the case with the current
power to give directions.
Clause 61 - Obligation in connection with electricity
from renewable sources
Clause 62 - Order under section 32: supplementary
Clause 63 - Green certificates
Clause 64 - Alternative way of discharging renewables
obligation: payments
Clause 61 enables the Secretary of State by order
to impose on licensed electricity suppliers an obligation to produce
evidence to show that a specified amount of electricity from renewable
sources has been supplied to customers in Great Britain ("the
renewables obligation"). ("Renewable sources" means
sources other than fossil fuel and nuclear power.) Clause 62 provides
certain flexibilities in the order-making power, for example,
specifying the renewable technologies and energy sources that
may count towards fulfilment of the obligation and how the amount
of electricity supplied is to be calculated. The order may also
specify information which is to be given to the Authority. Clause
63 provides for a certification system to demonstrate compliance
with the renewables obligation so that the certificates representing
supplies of renewable electricity can be traded between generators
and suppliers. Clause 64 provides for an alternative way of meeting
a renewables obligation by paying a 'buy-out' price, at a level
determined in the order, instead of producing evidence of the
supply of renewable electricity. There is also provision for receipts
from the buy-out price being re-imbursed to electricity suppliers
in accordance with a system to be set out in the order.
Purpose: the Government intends to use the power
to impose a long term obligation on electricity suppliers, which
will increase in steps up to 2010. This is consistent with the
Government's target of 5% of electricity in the UK to be generated
from renewable sources by 2003 and 10% by 2010, provided the cost
to consumers is acceptable, and will play a part in fulfilling
the UK's climate change obligations.
Reason for proposing delegated powers: in order to
work as intended, an obligation will involve the complex interaction
of a number of elements over an extended period of at least 10
years. Most notably these include the profile over time of the
obligation, the exact specification of eligible technologies and
power sources, the level of the 'buy out' price and the nature
of the information that will be accepted as evidence of fulfilment
of the obligation. All this will require extensive further consultation
and may also require adjustment in the light of experience. The
Secretary of State, for example, will have to consult the Authority,
Council, electricity suppliers to whom the proposed order would
apply and anybody else he thinks appropriate. It is therefore
necessary to have the flexibility to establish the detail of the
obligation and to adjust it without having to seek new primary
legislation. The detail and length of the necessary drafting appears
more appropriate to a statutory instrument than to primary legislation.
Clause 65 enables the Secretary of State to make
regulations which will define a reference price which is to be
used in the calculation of payments to be made to electricity
suppliers out of the proceeds of the fossil fuel levy in order
to compensate them for the above market costs of purchasing renewables
electricity in compliance with orders made under section 32 of
the 1989 Act.
Purpose: the payments made out of the levy fund are
currently calculated by reference to the electricity pool price.
However, the new electricity trading arrangements (for which clause
67 makes provision) will abolish the pool and it is therefore
necessary to set an alternative means of establishing a reference
price for as long as the relevant orders subsist.
Reason for proposing delegated power: this provision
essentially amends the existing regulation making power in section
33(5) of the 1989 Act.
Clause 66 enables the Secretary of State to
make orders for the purpose of ensuring the continuation of outstanding
contracts entered into by the public electricity suppliers with
renewables generators in compliance with non-fossil fuel orders
(in Scotland, Scottish renewables orders) made under section 32
of the 1989 Act. In particular, it will enable provision to be
made for the continuation of the fossil fuel levy with respect
to the outstanding contracts and for the transfer of the contracts
themselves from the public electricity suppliers to nominated
successors. There is power to save and modify sections 32 and
33 of the 1989 Act for these purposes. The order may provide that
certain of its provisions are to be relevant requirements that
are to be enforceable by the Authority using its enforcement powers
in Part I of the Act.
Purpose: the continuation of these outstanding contracts
is an important element of the Government's strategy for renewable
electricity. Without such further statutory provision, the contracts
are likely to fail. Existing statutory provisions will not serve
the purpose because they are based on the existence of public
electricity suppliers and the electricity pool, both of which
will cease to exist as a result of the Bill.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: these are
essentially transitional provisions, although due to the length
of the contracts at issue (up to twenty years) they go beyond
what would normally be termed "transitional". The exact
nature of the provisions in the order depends to a considerable
extent on the outcome of continuing discussions with the current
parties to the contracts and their potential successors. It is
therefore necessary to have flexibility to make these provisions
after the primary legislation has been enacted. The Bill therefore
provides for the saving (with necessary amendment) of the secondary
legislation made under the existing legislation together with
the arrangements to comply with them.
Clause 67 enables the Secretary of State to modify
the conditions of electricity licences for the purpose of implementing
new electricity trading arrangements.
Purpose: The Secretary of State will use the powers
to implement the new electricity trading arrangements in England
and Wales, which will replace the current system known as the
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: the necessary
licence conditions are complex and technical and it would not
be appropriate to set them out in primary legislation. Drafts
of the proposed conditions, as well as the details of the new
arrangements, have been published for consultation.
Procedure: None. The power expires two years after
the commencement of the section.
Clause 68 inserts a new, reserve power for the Secretary
of State to make an order, if he considers that a disadvantaged
group of customers is being treated less favourably than other,
better-off customers in respect of the charges they pay for electricity.
The order would provide for a scheme that would require companies
so to adjust their charges as to remove or reduce the less favourable
treatment. Section 43A(1) contains the power to make an order
containing a scheme. Section 43B(4) enables the Secretary of State
by order to require supply, distribution or transmission companies
to provide information for the purposes of allowing an order under
section 43A to be made. Clause 97 inserts the equivalent reserve
power to make a cross-subsidy scheme for gas customers.
Purpose: this power will provide a mechanism to help
disadvantaged customers in the event that the measures currently
being put in train by Government, the regulator and industry to
alleviate fuel poverty fail to deliver the results expected.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: these are
reserve powers and wide consultation would be needed before their
use. It is therefore inappropriate to lay down the details in
primary legislation.
Clauses 69 & 98 enable the Secretary of State
by order to impose obligations on licensed suppliers (gas and
electricity), licensed electricity distributors or gas transporters
to meet targets for the promotion of improvements in the use by
consumers of energy. The clauses contain flexibilities including
those relating to the amount of an obligation, the way its fulfilment
is to be determined and the role of the Authority in verifying
and enforcing compliance.
Purpose: the Government intends to impose obligations
on gas and electricity companies to carry out activities to promote
improvements in the efficient use of energy. It will be for the
licensee concerned to choose the activities (for example, installations
of home insulation or promoting the use of energy efficient appliances)
it will undertake to meet the required energy efficiency improvements.
The Authority is to be responsible for specifying and determining
the amount of energy that is deemed to have been saved by a given
activity for the purposes of fulfilling an obligation. It will
also be responsible for enforcing the obligations using its normal
enforcement powers as provided by the Acts.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: although
the intention is that the obligation should initially fall on
electricity and gas suppliers, it is important to have the flexibility
to change the amount of the obligation and to impose it on electricity
distributors and gas transporters if this proves expedient in
the future. Further consultation on an obligation is required.
The Secretary of State must consult the Authority, the Council,
electricity distributors & electricity suppliers and gas transporters
and gas suppliers, and anybody else he thinks appropriate. An
obligation will also involve a large amount of technical detail
which is more appropriate to a statutory instrument than to primary
Clause 71 replicates the effect of section 2(2) of
the 1989 Act, which obliged the Director to make sure that prices
charged to tariff customers in any area of Scotland specified
in an order by the Secretary of State (the relevant order defined
an area comprising, broadly, the north and west of Scotland) did
not discriminate between different parts of that area. The abolition
of tariffs effected by the Bill means that this outcome can no
longer be achieved in this way. Instead, new section 7B(1) provides
a power for the Secretary of State to make orders requiring licence
holders to charge prices, and, in the case of suppliers to offer
contract terms, which do not discriminate between customers in
different parts of the specified area.
Purpose: to maintain the ability to continue the
system of uniform prices for customers in the specified area.
Reasons for proposing delegated powers: this power
is consistent with the existing provisions of the 1989 Act.
Clause 99 amends the Gas Act 1986 so that regulations
made by the Authority are not subject to Parliamentary affirmation
or negation. This aligns the Gas Act on the Electricity Act 1989.
Regulations made by the Secretary of State are to be subject to
affirmative resolution where specified, and otherwise are to be
subject to the negative resolution procedure.
Purpose: to provide that regulations made by the
Authority are not subject to Parliamentary procedures other than
scrutiny by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments.
Reasons for proposing this amendment: to emphasise
the arm's-length nature of economic regulation and to further
the alignment of the gas and electricity regulatory regimes.
Procedure: none for this clause.
Subsection (1) enables the Authority to make regulations
prescribing standards of pressure and purity which must be complied
with by gas transporters in conveying gas to premises or to pipe-line
systems operated by other gas transporters. Subsections 5(a) and
6(b) of the new section 16 allow such regulations to provide for
the Authority to make directions as to the equipment and premises
to be maintained by gas transporters for carrying out tests of
gas, and as to the manner in which gas is to be sampled and tested,
and the results of such tests notified.
Purpose: to provide for the regulation of gas quality
issues which do not have a significant safety aspect but which
may nevertheless have a substantial impact on consumers.
Reason for seeking delegated powers: The way in which
gas is to be tested for compliance with the standards likely to
be prescribed is a very detailed and technical matter, which may
be subject to fairly frequent change. It is therefore not appropriate
for such matters to be dealt with in the regulations themselves.
The new section follows the precedent laid down in a similar provision
in earlier legislation (see s.16 of the Gas Act 1986, which was
repealed in 1996).
Procedure: no Parliamentary procedure, but regulations
would require (i) prior consultation with affected gas transporters
and such other persons and organisations as appropriate, and (ii)
the consent of the Secretary of State.
Clause 106 provides standard transitional provisions
to make regulations to deal with consequential changes to primary
or secondary legislation as a result of the Bill (precedents can
be found in, e.g., section 42 Food Standards Act 1999). For example,
a number of regulations or orders made under the Gas Act 1986
and the Electricity Act 1989 will need to be amended to replace
references to the Director General of Gas Supply and to the Director
General of Electricity Supply with references to the Authority.
Delegated legislation is thought to be appropriate in this case
since these are matters of detail arising under the Bill.
Procedure: It is considered that the negative resolution
procedure is appropriate given the limited and detailed nature
of the power.

Veigar Build Guide by europeanorigin
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Utility Oriented Build
Veigar Build
Agressive Build
Defensive Build
Situational Items
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Dear reader,
This guide is currently under rework due to the change of the S3.
As you may have witnessed, these changes were quite strong and thus brought a lot of change to this build. I have updated the Top Chart to reflect more up-to-date strategies.
I have also included a "fun build" under the name "Split Push Oriented Veigar (DO NOT DO THAT)". If you take a look at it, you'll quickly realize that it is not viable in many circumstances. I, however, managed to make it work as part of a broader push strategy, that my team and I put in place.
Finally, I'd like to remind you that Veigar is for the moment not amongst the most viable pick for solo queue. If you want to play mid ranked for the next few patches, I invite you to pick Pantheon, Wukong, or Talon for a free win. To be honest, you can currently say "Who needs an AP carry anyway?" and be right...
These are hard times for the APs...
Mwahahahaha ! Welcome Summoner !
I'm EuropeanOrigin, and this is my shot at providing a competitive build for one of my favorite heroes of League of Legends, Veigar. Any advice/feedback is welcomed, so feel free to comment down below. On the other hand, I'd also appreciate you take the time to go ask a question before downvoting the guide. And please no short joke!
You'll see that I have taken a quite different approach from the classic build for veigar, and I hope to have made myself sufficiently clear for you to perfectly understand my reasonning after reading this guide.
I'd also like to thank JhoiJhoi for her amazingly inspiring tutorial and PsiGuard for his extremely well-designed guide of veigar.
see this thread if there are abbreviations you don't understand
A guide is not a build. What you see on top is often slightly different from what you can read in the guide, which offers more diversity and discusses the pros and cons of each of these possibilities.
I have made a quick list of the "classic questions/flame", with their answer, that I receive from people who don't want to read the guide.
Pros / Cons
+ Strongest AP Hero
+ Godly stun
+ Excellent Passive
+ THE Nuker
- Extremely squishy
- Quite hungry for mana
- Strongly relies on farm
- Low escape capacities
There are different ways to play Veigar and with different plays comes different mastery trees.
I present to you two strategies, each with its own pros & cons.
The Utility based mastery Trees :
The Offense based mastery Trees :
Why you should pick the Offense Strategy
In this situation, the key materies are Archmage and Executioner . The first helps you grow into a monster more quickly, while the second helps you secure the kills.
Besides, farming is also made easier with Executioner .
Why you should pick the Utility Strategy
In this situation, the key materies are Meditation , Awareness , Intelligence and Mastermind . Farming with Veigar is essential, and this strategy aims at fullfilling this purpose in a different way from the Offense.
gives veigar a little more sustainability in terms of mana regen, so you can farm slightly more.
grants veigar the edge in terms of level, giving him a fair advantage during mid games on other players - And a quickly reached Primordial Burst at level 16 can be extremely effective on veigar, much more than what
could bring at level 14 or 15!
makes veigar timeframe of vulnerability smaller, increases his capacity to participate in team fights.
- Mastermind increases his overall presence and survivability.
Personal preferences
I prefer taking the Utility build, although I consider both strategies equivalent in terms of overall efficiency.
The Utility build allows Veigar to have the edge during mid game, as he levels faster than the others. This allows him to be a bigger threat during mid game, while the damage in late game will be less significant than with the Offense strategy. It's only a question of taste.
- Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: the words AP caster say it all.
- Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration: Veigar is quite demanding in terms of mana regeneration. These seals will help him get this mana regeneration.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: these makes Veigar less squishy against most hero mid during early game.
- greater quintessence of swifness: This small buff in movement speed helps veigar evade more easily skill shots or agressive mid heroes. You can take up to three if you feel like it.
- Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp: these grant veigar a small buff in sustainability. (You'll gain about 15-70 HP for each spell you cast).
Some of you may not agree with my choice of runes, and that's why I wanted to give a little extra on why these runes and no others. If you want to know more, click on the spoiler section right under.
Summoner Spells
Flash: The swiss army knife of any summoner
Teleport: great for increased presence in lane, and for some quick gank bot or top
Ignite: Ideal to finish someone, very good against off-tank. Good synergy with Deathfire Grasp
I invite you to pick Teleport over Ignite for at least 2 reasons :
- 1 - Teleport helps you coming bot during an enemy's gank, and can save your ad carry and even give you some easy kills (as bot lane is all about bruising the enemies during the early game)
- 2 - Ignite has a short range, shorter than your shortest ranged spell ( Baleful Strike). In addition to that it increase the duration of the combo, forcing to take higher level of Event Horizon earlier, and if the enemy has some tenacity, it is possible not to be able to land the combo completely because of the time lost travelling to launch ignite. Thus you'd miss the Dark Matter, which does more damage than ignite on most champions in late game.
Spells Explanation
Equilibrium: This passive grants veigar more mana regeneration the lower his mana is. It is very close from the passive of Chalice of Harmony. It gives veigar a strong boost in mana regeneration in those dire moments and allows him to farm with almost no mana.
- Equilibrium stacks up with Chalice of Harmony and Athene's Unholy Grail passive ! It also stack with the blue buff.
- Equilibrium naturally works with runes, masteries, and items.
- Equilibrium is often overlooked in building guides
- Equilibrium is used at its best when spamming spells !
Baleful Strike (Q): This skill is your main source of AP. Each minion kill grants you 1 AP permanently, and champion kills yield even bigger AP gain.
- No cap on the AP gain
- the AP gain on champion kills is a passive of Baleful Strike. You can kill champion with auto attacks and you'd still get the bonus AP.
- Leveling Baleful Strike only increases the AP gain in case of champion kills, not minion kills. (It also reduces the cooldown)
- A good farmer usually gains 150-250+ AP out of this spell only !
Dark Matter (W): A extremely powerful AoE (small) spell, coming after a (short?) delay. This is the finishing blow of your combo.
- Dark Matter has a long delay, but a well placed Event Horizon can do the trick.
- Dark Matter grants vision of its landing point. It's a great way to check bushes.
- Dark Matter lands in the form of a rainbow when using the Leprechaun Skin. Awesome, isn't it?
Event Horizon (E): The godly stun of Veigar. This stun is probably one of the strongest in game as it is an AoE stun with a long stun duration ! The enemy will only be stunned if touching the border of the spell.
- Use Event Horizon to seperate a member from his team.
- Use Event Horizon to block entire paths in the jungle when retrating.
Primordial Burst (R): The anti AP Caster spell. Incredible base damage, insane AP ratio and to top it off, it also stacks with AP of your target, also with an incredible ratio! (Ex. : You have 800 AP, Your target has 600 AP, your spell will deal him 500 + 1.2*800 + 0.8*600 = 1940 damage in one spell! How insane is that ?
- Aim for the squishies is not forcefully the right motto ! Vladimir is an excellent target for primordial burst while being quite tanky.
- Don't use Primordial Burst on anybody, use it only on the carries. An ultimate on Garen is most probably a wasted ultimate.
Skill Sequence
Explaining the skill sequence
Wraith Control and Veigar
First of all, what is wraith control ?
Why is it important ?
And if you do it, and your opponent doesn't, you'll have 20% more gold than him and will level much faster than him! Talk about important! Even more, if you manage to deny the enemy wraith camp to your opponent, that makes a 40% increase in gold and 60% increase in XP!
So, yeah, wraith control is crucial to the mid player.
Is Veigar any good at wraith control ?
If you prefer maxing baleful strike by level 9, you'll be extremely bad at clearing wraith camp, as your AoE spell - Dark Matter - will only be level 1, which means you'll have to clear out all the wraiths with your Baleful Strike and auto-attacks. This will take some time, and you'll lose quite some HP to the harass of the wraith and time/XP/gold on the lane, which makes this not very efficient...
If you follow the strategy I propose in the previous section, your capacity to clear the wraith camp will increase incredibly! With a single Dark Matter, you'll obliterate the lesser wraiths and you will be able to land safely a Baleful Strike on the major wraith. The total time required to clear the wraith camp is then about 1.5 seconds ! Besides, you will not have to circle the wall between the wraith camp and the mid lane, you will be able to do it through the wall, which means an even more reduced time to clear the camp.
When should Veigar start clearing the wraith camp ?
Wards and Wraith control :
If your support doesn't want to/doesn't have money to put a ward on your wraith camp, use your ward defensively instead of agressively.
Starting Items
There are two early game sequences possible depending on who Veigar is laning against.
If you are laning against a skill shot based hero like Ahri, Ziggs, Swain, Zyra for instance, grab some boots and a few pots. Once you'll have emptied your mana pool, go back to base and buy Chalice of Harmony. Play defensive before that!
Otherwise, just grab a Meki Pendant and 2 Health Potion. Don't lane as long as you can! If you've reached enough money to buy the Boots of Speed and the Chalice of Harmony, empty your mana by harassing the enemy champion and then recall.
Recommended Items
: The newest item for mage. And it's a fit on Veigar! This items prevents two of veigar's major flaws : his "squishyness" and his hunger for mana. Imagine : it grants him 15% cooldown and about 12-21 mana per second! It's almost a blue buff! Don't believe me? the
crest of the ancient golem
would grant him 20% cooldown and 15 to 25 mana regen per second. In addition to that, it gives him 40 magic resist and 90 AP and replenishes your mana on kills and assists. What else?
: The boots of any AP caster. It's flat magic penetration makes some tremendous damage in early game (you'll almost do true damage)
- : The cap of any decent mage. You'd feel cold without it. Practical during rainy days.
Situational Items
In this section I'll describe the situational items that can be taken with veigar :
: One strange item in a Veigar build. Well once again, it's an awesome item. Increased durability thanks to the magic resist AND the +7% in movement speed. Increased damage thanks to its 80 AP. And the passive... Or how to destroy a turret faster than you can say "BOOM!". Yes, because you'll have about 800 AP, so that means you'll hit turrets (and champions) with 900 damage. Four spells, and the turret is down. Excellent in late game.
: You're owning the ap carry but the ad carry is always focusing you ? Or maybe the bruisers are a bit too nasty with you ? Grab a Zhonya's Hourglass! Some armor, some AP, and invincibility for 2 seconds. Excellent against AoE teams.
: The most picked item for Veigar after Sorcerer's Shoes and Rabadon's Deathcap. Some cooldown reduction, some AP, and an unholy active : it will enable Veigar to take down bruisers who come at him, and even hit on tanks.
: Very powerful item in late game. Lets Veigar tear through almost anything. Quite cheap. Lacks survivability.
: Used to be good on Veigar. But since the range of the passive has been drastically reduced, it has become less effective. Still useful for the AP and Magic Resist. The passive now only comes in handy when fighting melee heroes...
: High survability item. Grants HP, MP and MR. Provides also with a shield that absorbs one spell every 45 seconds. Useful protection against some poke hero (like Blitzcrank or Nidalee)
- : Grants a lot of HP,MP and AP. But it takes some time to get there, it normally is a first item pick, but it can be taken as fourth if survivability seems to be an issue. Not my favorite item.
If you want damage and only damage, you should go for Deathfire Grasp, then Void Staff and finally Lich Bane.
If you want increased survivability go for Lich Bane, Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil. The order depends on what makes the most damage in the enemy team (physical or magical ?).
Is Deathfire grasp essential for Veigar ?
Don't flame me for asking the question ! Nor for trying to answer !
Let me break it down for you : Deathfire Grasp has an extremely powerful active that synergizes perfectly with Veigar's combo (it's the first spell you should cast after the stun, and it's your longest range spell). It does tons of damage and pretty much secures every kill on AP/AD carry.
But is it only about security ? Is it not essential for veigar if he wants to kill ?
I'll try to answer that question by analyzing the increase in damage of Deathfire Grasp during late game and mid game.
Let's start with late game. I'll suppose Veigar has taken Void Staff and the 5th item has been taken, either by Deathfire Grasp or by another AP item, like Lich Bane or Zhonya's Hourglass, it doesn't really matter.
So I went through the top rated guides of EVERY champions available on Mobafire, to see which heroes would die with the combo only, which would require Deathfire Grasp and which wouldn't die even with it. Yes, you read me well : I went through ALL OF THEM. (And I can tell you this wasn't the most fun of my life). Another thing, I'm also taking the offense masteries. (it has some benefits over the utility build in late game)
Here are the results :
As you can see I have split heroes into tiers of difficulty, which are represented by an amount of AP. This amount of AP is credible! (90+140+70+80)*1.3 = 481 is the base AP you get from the 5 first items. It does not include the farm from your Baleful Strike, nor the AP a sixth item would bring.
Therefore, a champion who's in the 600 AP category is nuked for sure. A champion in the 700 AP category, will be nuked or not depending on your ability to farm correctly. And the 800 AP guys will only be nuked if you have a good farm and the 6 items.
You may have noticed, that some champions appear more than once. It's because the top guide proposed different strategies for this champion, some being consitently stronger against AP Casters than others.
Conclusions on late game :
Veigar is absolutely capable of handling most AD/AP carries by himself in late game. However, Deathfire Grasp opens your range of insta-kill to offtanks and supports, and some additional tanky carries, like Fizz. It is thus a good item choice if the enemy champions carrying the game is part of these categories. However, forget about nuking tanks, it's not made for you.
Alright. Deathfire Grasp is a more viable third item choice than Rabadon's Deathcap.
There, I said it. Now flame!
Actually this is not true. They would be on par for a very simple reason : a combo with Deathfire Grasp is stronger than a combo with Rabadon's Deathcap while Deathfire Grasp is much cheaper than Rabadon's Deathcap (about 1k gold). On the other hand, harassing/farming with Rabadon's Deathcap is much more efficient.
Obviously it is a bit more complicated than that. Deathfire Grasp becomes a more viable choice than Rabadon's Deathcap if your opponent is stacking a bit of HP , with Rod of Ages for instance. As soon as, your opponent hits 1.4k HP (which is about level 12, or sooner if stacking HP), Deathfire Grasp is more efficient during the combo.
What I invite you to do, is to take a kage's lucky pick before starting Rabadon's Deathcap or Deathfire Grasp. DO THIS ONLY IF THERE IS A CHAMPION AGAINST WHICH DEATHFIRE GRASP MIGHT BE GOOD IN LATE GAME.
To sum up, Deathfire Grasp is an extremely potent item, especially on veigar, but which is still situational, contrary to what most people think.
Game Phase
Game phases with Veigar are pretty straight forward.
I came across a guide which did this part so well, that I spent all the time I was reading at it laughing my a** off.
You can find the said chapter here
I invite also you to read the whole guide, it's a different approach to Veigar, and you should never limit yourself to one build/guide. (I prefer my way, but that may be biased :o)
Laning against ...
In this section I have gathered most of the champions you could meet mid.
It does not aim at providing you with the way to win against such or such champion, but to give tips to manage more effectively against them.
If you feel like there is a champion that's missing, or if you think of some tips that are not present, please feel free to add them in the comments. I'll update it later with credits.
Laning against ...
Thank you for reading my guide !
I hope it has suited you, and that you have found some parts useful.
Feel free to comment, I'll be glad to discuss my build with you, as long as the comments are actually contructive.
27.10.12 : Added the section "Wraith control and Veigar". Changed items in top utility build (removed DFG/ added void staff)
13.09.12 : Added the section "Is Deathfire grasp essential for Veigar ?"

Random BSOD, "Unknown Device" error in perfmon
I'm getting seemingly random blue screens on a regular basis. Blue Screen View blames ntoskrnl.exe, so make of that what you will.
I no good at computer
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Installed 3 weeks ago, when the system was built. I didn't build it, the guys I ordered it from did (hardwareversand)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2012
About 1/3 of these crashes are blamed on memory corruption directly. Some of the others indirectly.
These crashes were caused by memory corruption (probably a driver). Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!!
*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.
If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.
2-Driver verifier
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Ok so I think I've discovered the problem but I'd like some input before I spend any money.
I ran the memtest several times on each stick of ram separately. One was clean as a whistle. The other gave me literally hundreds of thousands of errors, regardless of the slot it was plugged into.
So, what are the chances this is the cause of my problem?

Charges of Judicial Activism in Europe
|International & National Security Law Practice Group
Judicial activism was a core issue in the Senate hearings on President Bush's Supreme Court appointments. It has also become an issue in the debate about the future of the European Union (EU). Indeed, judicial activism at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) may be one factor in popular dissatisfaction with the European constitution. Several months ago, the new President of the European Council of Ministers, Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, called for a rethink over the role of the ECJ, which he said had "systematically extended European competences into areas where there was decidedly no European law." He cited decisions of the court concerning the role of women in the German army and access of nonnationals to Austrian universities....

It took him 3 months to try to determine my diagnosis, in spite of many visits and blood draws. Finally had to refer to another MD who found I had Cancer!!! Avoid this guy! He is bad medicine.
Lost my trust
Posted on September 25th, 2014
Despite being a patient for some time, I felt Dr. Bloom didn't know me at all. He never remembered a rather serious medical condition I have that is well documented in my chart and rarely even took time to find out why I was there before entering the room. I found him rude and disinterested. Some things never made it into my chart and others things were just plain wrong. I had a couple of encounters with him that can only be described as bizarre and decided I was done. I've heard similar things from other women. The men I know who see him think he's fine, but it seems he shows very little respect for women.
Distracted doctor
Posted on February 16th, 2014
I found Dr. Bloom to be distracted and focused on his computer rather than on the patient. The deal-breaker for me was when he entered the room and asked me how my sleep apnea was on my first (and only) visit after having a radical prostatectomy. Dr. Bloom had not taken a minute to review my chart before entering the room and tried to wing it. Apparently, he had just glanced at my record before entering the room and confused my urologist with another doctor. I could not wait to leave; needless to say, that was the last I saw of Dr. Bloom. And he never followed up or apologized for his mistake.
One Star
Posted on July 19th, 2013
Just don't be honest with him. He will charge a extra fee for anything he is "allowed" to charge for whether it had anything to do with the appointment or not, just because he can. He really didn't listen to pertinent facts and didn't prescibe needed tests based on those facts. I was charged a ridiculous amount for the writing of a prescription for items that I didn't need consultation on. I didn't find out about the results of tests until I saw another extra charge and called to inquire about it. He essentially tripled the charges into my one and only appointment. I do not trust him and will not be trusting him as my doctor.
