Nidalee Build
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.
I've been playing Nidalee ever since I watched another summoner use her and just DESTROY with her q. I decided I would try her out, and sure enough, using this same build, I had the same results. Nidalee is a very fun champion and I recommend her to everybody!
Very fun champion
Her Q just dominates
Traps really help prevent ganks
Great mobility in brush
Insane heals late game
Great at escaping
Very squishy
Not the best in team fights
Will get targeted (as any squishy champion)
Cougar form will lack damage early on

Viruses cause different diseases (depending on the types of cell that they infect). Some viruses can cause life-long and chronic infections . A virus invades the living cells and uses them to keep itself alive and to replicate itself. Viruses may reproduce with fidelity or with errors; This ability to mutate is the reason why some viruses changes slightly in each infected person,which makes treatment more difficult. Viruses may contain either DNA or RNA as genetic material. Healtone sound formulas (HTSF) for virus diseases are designed to specifically balance the frequencies of each particular virus disease listed below, and bring it to a normal balanced stage enabling the body to restore its healthy balance.
Using HTSF for 5 minutes, twice daily, will, in most cases, start bringing about the desirable balancing effect within a few days.
An email with links to download your sound formula and user instructions will follow the purchase.
We wish you full recovery.

About: Confidential to Canadian...
What a stupid controversy about the scientific exhibit of human sexuality directed at teens that's being toured by the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology. Our Conservative Government and the reactionary National Post newspaper has discovered that it might introduce our teenagers to the vice of masturbation, and also other-than-heterosexual orientations. Why this would be considered science and not pornography they can't fathom, and like conservatives everywhere, are concerned that their tax money is being used to banish ignorance. Presumably they prefer their money to be used for their personal pornography of teenagers and sex, since they can't imagine any scientific or educational purpose for this exhibition. It's sad that in this day and age, when education in Canada is at least supposed to include age-appropriate sex education in Grades K through 12, we've elected a government of Republicans.
Mom of Many
Some of the structure the Occupy movement chose for their decision-making seemed a little kooky from the outside, but the fact that they chose to make participatory democracy a key value and construct a new system with that in mind really stood out and impressed me. And if people can't see anything that demands action from the dramatic income disparity in our society, they're just not listening. Love the little kid from "The Emperor's New Clothes", by the way.
No one has forced the looting of shops or the fighting over designer running shoes, or the maniacal behaviour of shoppers on Black Friday, but they are symptoms of a common illness. No, I don't mean that the people who committed these crimes are free of the responsibility for them, but, like the authour, I suggest there is a connection between our culture's need for constantly inflating consumer desire for "stuff", and society's need to control the underclass typified by the English judiciary who decreed the harshest possible sentences for the looters.
There would not be a huge media/entertainment segment of the economy engaged in selling the hugely expensive enterprise of selling "stuff" on movies, TV, radio, the internet, and permutations of these if it did not WORK, and it works extremely well. People almost always under-estimate the influence that advertising has on them in experimental situations, so we can assume that we, and others, are more driven by the induced desire to buy and have things than we realize. If we are unhappy with our lives, it's logical that we would be more likely to believe that buying things would make us happier.
I disagree with Richard Isacoff that he and the rest of us are not addicted to having and acquiring more and more consumer products and consumables. When one has lots of stuff, as anyone but the homeless does in our society, the only reason to buy more is if something is used up or wears out. There is no rational purpose for closets full of clothes or a car in the city--how many of us are addicted to having "stuff" to feel: secure, valid, affirmed, adult, competent, beautiful, manly, etc. How many of us still need more?
As long as we define The American Dream as "living the good life"; doing it better and in a bigger house than our parents did it, and making sure our children do the same, we are playing into the hands of the 1% who want to keep us in our place. Consumerist culture is not realistic for the Earth, or for any economy, but if everyone is trying to "get it" for themselves (as long as we have enough cops and prisons), we can sell lots of "stuff" made in China, and stock prices will soar (and tank). We have to look clearly at the propaganda that ad agencies for corporations and other advertising is streaming at us, and we have to teach our children to analyze it. "Adbusters" magazine is a good place to start. Read it with your kids, use it at your Church and community groups.
End the drug war now. It's a failure in every sense-drug use went up, drug crime and violence went up, and evil done by the governments went up.
It's true big, excited dogs like Jupiter mean no harm to those who would try to walk them--but they do require some extra time and patience to deal with. It can be scary, too, for some people just to be so close to a dog that is so tall standing on hind legs and so muscular. Jupiter needs more time for a walk than a lunch hour.
The intellectual face of the Republican Party.
These commentors did not address the problems in the story with the budget shortfalls for adequate numbers of trash bins on campus, so overflowing trash blows around the campus (no budget for more people to empty bins, or have more ergonomic bins to reduce workers' comp. costs either).
There is already a campus pride and student driven culture where people "carry a newspaper or a can around with them until they find an appropriate recycling bin", but because of markings worn off them, and trash bins overflowing, they are mixed in with trash and "sorted" by waste management. The recycling inside buildings is sorted, and composting of food waste is led by students, but so far it looks like State funding cuts and "greenwashing" by University administration has worked. Will new recycling bins and Pepsico's generosity help enough? I hope for the sake of gardeners' connective tissue some innovative solutions come in too--not just from students.

It was November 1806. The explorers had gone without food for one day, then two. Their leader, not yet thirty, drove on, determined to ascend the great mountain. Waist deep in snow, he reluctantly turned back. But Zebulon Pike had not been defeated. His name remained on the unclimbed peak-and new adventures lay ahead of him and his republic.
In Citizen Explorer, historian Jared Orsi provides the first modern biography of this soldier and explorer, who rivaled contemporaries Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Born in 1779, Pike joined the army and served in frontier posts in the Ohio River valley before embarking on a series of astonishing expeditions. He sought the headwaters of the Mississippi and later the sources of the Arkansas and Red Rivers, which led him to Pike's Peak and capture by Spanish forces. Along the way, he met Aaron Burr and General James Wilkinson; Auguste and Pierre Couteau, patriarchs of St. Louis's most powerful fur-trading family, who sought to make themselves indispensable to Jefferson's administration; as well as British fur-traders, Native Americans, and officers of the Spanish empire, all of whom resisted the expansion of the United States.
Through Pike's life, Orsi examines how American nationalism thinned as it stretched west, from the Jeffersonian idealism on the Atlantic to a practical, materialist sensibility on the frontier. Surveying and gathering data, Pike sought to incorporate these distant territories into the republic, to overlay the west with the American map grid; yet he became increasingly dependent for survival on people who had no attachment to the nation he served. He eventually died in that service, in a victorious battle in the War of 1812.
Written from an environmental perspective, rich in cultural and political context, Citizen Explorer is a state-of-the-art biography of a remarkable man.

The more time you can spend there, the greater your chances of finding your dream girl. Plus, you don't want to feel pressure to find that girl quickly.
My first trip to the Philippines was for 20 days and it was like paradise. I met two gorgeous young women who were even hornier for me than I was for them. My second trip lasted just 10 days and was much less productive. I didn't even get one kiss. And yes, I did dress and groom myself impeccably and was on my best, most polite behavior.
why didn't you close the deal witheither one then as you were going home and continue things?
about the hornier thing, maybe those girls are hard to trust if they are so "horny" cause either they are so horny and experienced and will cheat at any time especially when you go home OR they are acting either of which is a bad sign lol
I couldn't continue things because I was going back to school immediately after my trip. So I knew that I couldn't afford to return to the Philippines for several years. One of my dream girls got tired of waiting and married somebody else. As for the other girl, I've lost interest in her due to her age and total lack of conversational skills.
Yes, I agree with your second point. I did worry that those two girls had a lot more experience with men than they were willing to admit.
the truth is most girls here are not easy or horny. thats a huge myth that im sick of hearing. Mr. s and winston and me and Rock have al confirmed first hand that there is a broad spectrum with most women falling under normal sexuality and id argue they are even less sexual than american women by far on average. if they are horny or easy its cause often times they just want your money and are acting. women are women everywhere there is nothign special about filipina that suddenly makes them more sexual. sexuality is from birth for the most part. the rest is training but not genuine.
its gonna be hard for me to find a girl who really enjoys sex naturally. that is more important for me than her looks but ideally i wont be totally happy unless she is about a 6.8 or so on the looks scale and loves sex. i wont settle for less unless i knock one of these girls up accidentally which could happen lol
Hmm, let me clarify my opinion on this one. I've said that girls here do not openly flirt with me when I go around and about the way they seem to do with Taco and certain others. But they do seem to be rather affectionate and sexual on average if you date them. My benchmark is not American girls for I have negligible experience with those. Rather, it's Taiwanese and also Chinese, Brazilians, Colombians, and some other non-Anglo girls.
Overwhelming majority of the girls I've known here do seem to have a pretty strong sex drive or at least love to make-up heavily, cuddle and pet. The girl I have dated most regularly pushes very hard to have long sessions several times whenever we meet. She consumes it like chocolate. The girls in question are mostly independent financially.
The ironic thing is that when I used to hang out with Winston in Angeles City, many of those bar girls seemed to be the most hung-up about things. It's like they couldn't get their head around being hoes. For them it's a chore and you see the turn down potential customers quite a bit, especially the door girls. Very weird.
I think it's that horny Malay blood as I once explained to Falcon. Many regular Pinays are delightfully affectionate and sexual. It's also great that they all seem to love kissing, so different than many Thai girls.
then i guess i need to dump this girl after i come back cause she is nothing liek you guys describe. if i want to kiss or have sex i have to initiate. otherwise she could do without i used to think it was me being too sexual but i think she is just damaged goods. hope i dont get her pregnant. she does everything i want sexually but she isn't horny or initiates or has the cute personality of my barhoe before so im quite bored of her lol

The Special One is the now the Non-Committal One as Jose Mourinho will not accept his Chelsea side are favourites to win the Premier League this season However, after beating Manchester City away from home in that crucial match recently Chelsea look like potential champions.
City have the attacking flair and Arsenal the passing game but it looks like Mourinho is getting another effective season from John Terry in particular and Frank Lampard to a lesser degree. Terry in my opinion is still the best English defender in the league and should still be playing for England.
It seems strange that non-footballing matters have determined that he will not play for his country again. The best England managers since Booby Robson, Terry Venables and Glenn Hoddle, lost their jobs for reasons not related to results on the field.
Mourinho now thinks he's the master of mind games since the retirement of Sir Alex and probably believes there are enough goals in his side from midfield to compensate for any perceived weakness up front. Clearly Juan Mata didn't fit into the plan but I just hope he turns out to be better than Fellaini for United.
The top four are won at home last it's no change at the top and Chelsea moving efficiently towards their first title since 2010.
Chelsea Premier League Odds Comparison
|Stan James

Local rivalry means United will want to win this fixture though they have little to pay for in the league except for maintaining momentum for matches in Europe. Liverpool will be looking to maintain their run at home to Tottenham on Sunday.
One of the best promotions of the next week comes from bet365. They are offering a 100% bonus on winning accumulators of three teams or more for matches in the Champions League and main European leagues.

This is your opportunity to fulfil a dream to research, travel and create an original work about any aspect of Asian food.
The Yan-Kit So Memorial Award for Food Writers on Asia honours the legacy of Yan-Kit So (1933-2001), one of the most acclaimed writers on Chinese food. A passionate promoter of Asian food, her first book, The Classic Chinese Cookbook, won an André Simon Award and a Glenfiddich Food and Drink Award. Her seminal work, Classic Food of China, made a major contribution to the understanding of Chinese regional food cultures.
Hosted by Oxford Gastronomica, Oxford Brookes University's centre for food and cultural studies, the award winner will be an emerging writer who has the ability to enhance our understanding and appreciation of Asian food culture.
The aim of the Award is to support travel and research costs associated with producing an original work intended for publication in print or electronic form, for the English speaking world. This could be a cookery book, or maybe a substantial article for a magazine or journal. The closing date for entries is Sunday 30 April 2017.

Mel Gibson said John Lennon deserved to die, and that he wanted to stab his former girlfriend to death while having intercourse, according to a Hollywood screenwriter.
The claims — promptly and publicly rejected by Gibson — were made by Joe Eszterhas, screenwriter of failed movie project "The Maccabees," which Gibson was penciled in to direct, according to Agencies France-Pressed.
Eszterhas — who wrote "Basic Instinct" and "Jagged Edge" — said Gibson sabotaged the project — which tells the story of Judah Maccabee, a Jew who led a revolt against the Seleucid Empire — because he is anti-Semitic.
Eszterhas wrote a nine-page letter to the "Braveheart" star, reproduced on The Wrap, a movie and entertainment website, in which he said:
"I've come to the conclusion that you never had, or have, any intention of making a film about the Maccabees.
"I believe you announced the project with great fanfare — 'a Jewish Braveheart' — in an attempt to deflect continuing charges of anti-Semitism which have dogged you.
"I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make 'The Maccabees' is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews."
Eszterhas also claimed Gibson had said he hated the music of Lennon, especially the iconic song "Imagine."
Gibson allegedly said the former Beatle had a Messiah complex and "deserved to be shot" dead outside his New York apartment in 1980.
And, Eszterhas claims, he said he wanted his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he has a child, killed.
Gibson reportedly told Eszterhas, "I want to f**k her.....and stab her while I'm doing it."
However Gibson has hit back at Eszterhas in his own, shorter letter, also sent to the LA Times, which claims that Eszterhas' script was "substandard" and "a waste of time."
The Times has published that letter, in which Gibson writes "I guess you only had a problem with me after Warner Brothers rejected your script," in full.
Warner Bros. meantime, said Wednesday that it was not proceeding with Eszterhas' script and was "analyzing what to do with the project."

Final Derby Prep Fields Taking Shape
By Noel Michaels: OTBLearningLabs.com
The 141st running of the Kentucky Derby is only about a month away on Saturday, May 2, 2015, and that can only mean one thing at this time of year - Derby prep season is finally ready to reach its peak, and the action is only going to get faster and more furious from here on out pretty much each and every Saturday from now until the first Saturday in May.
The Kentucky Derby prep season is already underway as 3-year-olds from around the country continue to compete for right to occupy one of the 20 available stalls in the Churchill Downs starting gate for the Run for the Roses. The starters in the Derby will be decided by a points system that is in its third year, and puts pressure on hopefuls to win or earn at least a high finish in a race Derby prep race(s) in order to qualify.
This time of year also coincides with the official Kentucky Derby Future Wagers, and the final KDFW is scheduled for the weekend of March 27-29.
The volatility of these prep races was never more apparent than it was on Feb. 21 in the Fountain of Youth, when favorite Upstart won the race but was DQ'd for bothering runner-up Itsaknockout twice in deep stretch. Also, notable shortly after that was the defection from the Kentucky Derby trail of Khozan due to injury. Khozan, a brother to multiple Eclipse Award winner Royal Delta, has begun his career with two eye-popping wins and had appeared to be on his way to the Florida Derby and beyond before the injury.
On March 17, it was announced that Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red, who had returned from foot problems with a promising second in the San Vicente, is officially off the Derby trail with a foot abscess.
Injuries and defections are always a fact of life on the road to the Kentucky Derby every year, and they wreak havoc on the Future Wagers, because you might be betting the best horse, but if he doesn't make it to Louisville in one piece then your Future bets are completely worthless.
On the flip side, however, we not only lose 3-year-old contenders at this time of year, we also gain them. New horses appear on the Derby scene every weekend at this time of year, and old names also re-appear, as happened in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn when 2-year-old monster American Pharoah returned from a layoff for his seasonal debut with a crushing victory in that Grade 2 prep.
In the new road to the Derby "Championship Series" of preps, wins and places in these races will be crucial for horses to be able to work their way into the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby. This will force horses to enter more preps, and should result in each one of the remaining prep races being even more highly competitive than ever before, especially for hopefuls who end-up short on points heading into mid-April.
There are essentially six major prep races remaining (I'm not counting the UAE Derby in Dubai, which really isn't a relevant race in my book) worth the most points. Those "big 6" preps are the Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Blue Grass, Santa Anita Derby, and the Arkansas Derby. There are also two races worth substantial points preceding those races - the Spiral Stakes at Turfway on Saturday, March 21 (Polytrack) and the Sunland Derby on Sunday, March 22. Kentucky Derby points qualifying ends with a very small amount of points to be available for the Lexington Stakes on April 11.
Once again, the Illinois Derby on April 18 has been snubbed as an "official" Derby prep race, and will not be worth any points. That essentially makes the Illinois Derby an unofficial Preakness prep.
One other thing to take note of heading into the nitty-gritty season of Kentucky Derby prep season, is that Keeneland's prep races, the Blue Grass Stakes and the Lexington, are back to being dirt races, of course, and therefore have much more meaning than they've had in the last several years when Keeneland ran on Polytrack.
Here is a list of the top Kentucky Derby points horses, current as of mid of mid-March:

|Mr. Z
|Classy Class
|Texas Red (out)

|7 horses tied with
Below is a list of some of the other Championship Series points races, and some of the horses that are currently pointing for those races. Two highly-regarded horses with Derby potential and aspirations, Daredevil and Materiality, are still undecided for their final prep races.
SPIRAL STAKES, Turfway, March 21
Kentucky Derby points: 50-20-10-5
Key Probables: Metaboss, The Great War, Imperia, Royal Son
The Spiral Stakes at Turfway is one of the last remaining Kentucky Derby prep races still run on an artificial surface, and therefore the importance of the race in terms of picking the Derby winner is greatly diminished, except in terms of the amount of points the race awards and how important those points are for getting the winner and perhaps the runner-up a spot in the starting gate in the Run for the Roses. This race was part of Animal Kingdom's road to the roses, so it's not impossible, however, the next Derby winner probably is not included in the field for this year's race, which entails a bunch of horses in questionable form or horses that seem meant for turf and/or synthetic. The best possibilities here for handicappers include Metaboss, the winner of the El Camino Real Derby at Gold Gate, also on synthetic, and a pair of local prep race winners, Todd Pletcher's Royal Son who won the Battaglia, and The Great War, who won the 96 Rock Stakes. Of those horses, The Great War seems the most interesting - not for the Derby, but for the Spiral - because he actually ran a solid fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last fall in his lone stretchout try to date. I think 1-1/4 mile in the Derby would be too long for him, but he's possible in this race at 1 1/16th.
SUNLAND DERBY, Sunland Park, March 22
Kentucky Derby points: 50-20-10-5
Key Probables: Lord Nelson, Firing Line
This race is usually all about Bob Baffert, who annually sends some of the top contenders to the race. Certainly, Baffert is well represented this year with Lord Nelson, a converted sprinter who just finished off the board against much better competition at Santa Anita in the San Felipe. Now he reels right back just two weeks after that race, as Baffert seems determined to prove people wrong about Lord Nelson's distance limitations. We'll see. Either way, the story of this race will be Firing Line, who has suffered two close losses in a row behind the top Kentucky Derby contender Dortmund, both times by a neck. He finally gets away from his nemesis here today - far away - and should be able to win this race comfortably, even if the Kentucky Derby and its 1-1/4 miles will eventually be out of his reach, as well.
FLORIDA DERBY, Gulfstream Park, March 28
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: Itsaknockout, Upstart, Frosted
This race is essentially shaping up as a repeat of the Fountain of Youth, with three of the four top finishers from that prep likely to be the favorites in the Florida Derby. This race was supposed to be an interesting showcase for talented 3-year-old Khozan, but that horse is injured and out. The race could pick up an interesting newcomer such as Daredevil or Materiality, who are both considering the race amongst other prep options, but ultimately, this race will probably come down again to the "big three," with Itsaknockout and Upstart looming the most likely winners (I'm not sure Frosted is quite as good). Upstart was the victim of a controversial DQ in the Fountain of Youth for bothering Itsaknockout not once, but twice in deep stretch. Many handicappers think that trouble had no impact on the race, but I tend to differ since I saw Itsaknockout losing all momentum when he still had fight left in him at that point in the stretch run. If strong favoritism goes to Upstart, I would veer toward Itsaknockout. Both are talented horses and you can't really go wrong with either opinion.
LOUISIANA DERBY, Fair Grounds, March 28
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: Keen Ice, War Story, Mr. Z, International Star
This race really has not attracted the top rung Kentucky Derby contenders in recent years, and may not be a key prep race again this year the way it is shaping up. Nonetheless, it is a major race with several good horses pointing there, including all of the top three finishers from the local prep race for the Louisiana Derby, the Risen Star Stakes - International Star, War Story, and Keen Ice (in that order). Out of those three horses, I would put International Star at the top of the list of contenders, at least at the Fair Grounds, because he's already won both main Louisiana Derby preps on that track, including also the Lecomte Stakes. Down the line a little further, War Story might be the better Kentucky Derby contender amongst these horses. He's trained by Tim Amoss, and he's been overcoming troubles at the starting gate basically his whole career. If Amoss can ever teach this horse to break better, he might be a completely new and improved horse as a result. The other main contender in here is Mr. Z, who is turning into a bridesmaid type of horse who hits the board but doesn't win.
WOOD MEMORIAL, Aqueduct, April 4
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: El Kabeir, Far From Over, Classy Class, Tiz Shea D (not nominated)
This race could shape-up as a battle between the top finishers from the Gotham - El Kabeir, Tiz Shea D, and Classy Class (in that order), and Far From Over, the winner of the Withers Stakes trained by Todd Pletcher. The big name here is El Kabeir, who not only won the Gotham but also the Jerome and the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs, but keep in mind that his recent loss came against Far From Over in the Withers in what was only Far From Over's second career start. In addition, Far From Over overcame a bad stumble at the start of that race which appeared to cost him his best chance in the race. Based on that, plus the Pletcher factor, I would say Far From Over wil be the horse to beat.
SANTA ANITA DERBY, Santa Anita, April 4
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: Dortmund, Prospect Park, Bolo, Ocho Ocho Ocho
Dortmund is the current leader of the 3-year-old division and will headline the Santa Anita Derby, perhaps on his way to favoritism in Louisville on the first Saturday in May. Dortmund remained undefeated - a perfect 5-for-5 - when he was the easiest kind of winner in the San Felipe. He added that win to his wins in the Los Alamitos Futurity and the Robert Lewis Stakes, as well. Prospect Park and Bolo chased him home in the San Felipe, and Ocho Ocho Ocho was further behind. However, Ocho Ocho Ocho might end up being the main challenger in this final West Coast prep, because he needed his past race off a layoff and should be better prepared this time around. His late 2-year-old season win in the Delta Jackpot over Mr. Z and eventual Southwest Stakes winner Far Right points him out as a horse to fear as Dortmund basically steamrolls his way to Churchill Downs.
BLUE GRASS STAKES, Keeneland, April 4
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: Carpe Diem, Ami's Flatter, Frammento, Unrivaled
Hallelujah, the Blue Grass is back on the dirt, and it is once again the major Kentucky Derby prep race it was always meant to be. This year's race is expected to attract the top two finishers from the Tampa Bay Derby, including winner Carpe Diem, who is considered to be one of the main contenders for the Kentucky Derby come the first Saturday in May. Carpe Diem, trained by Todd Pletcher, was the runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and also owns a win last fall at Keeneland (dirt) in the Breeders' Futurity. Clearly he'll be the horse to beat. Other horses pointing to the Blue Grass include Ami's Flatter, who will have his hands full trying to turn the tables on Carpe Diem after losing to him at Tampa, and Frammento, a late runner who got up for third in the Fountain of Youth ahead of Frosted. One final interesting contender looks like Unrivaled, a fast winner from Parx owned by Team Valor.
ARKANSAS DERBY, Oaklawn, April 11
Kentucky Derby points: 100-40-20-10
Key Probables: American Pharoah, Far Right
This race probably will have a full starting gate, but really it is shaping up to become a battle royale between two of the top contenders on the Kentucky Derby trail - American Pharoah and Far Right. American Pharoah looks like the real deal. He was projected to be the favorite and horse to beat in last fall's Breeders' Cup Juvenile before bowing-out with an injury, but now he's come back with a crushing victory in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn and seems to be picking up right where he left off as a 2-year-old for trainer Bob Baffert. Far Right should, however, be a formidable challenger. He exits back-to-back Oaklawn stakes wins in the Smarty Jones and the Southwest, and still seems to be improving with every race.
LEXINGTON STAKES, Keeneland, April 11
Kentucky Derby points: 10-4-2-1
Key Probables: To be determined
The Lexington Stakes - Keeneland's other Derby prep - offers almost no points for Derby qualifying and is more or less an afterthought for horses on their way to Churchill Downs, however, the race could play a very significant role in filling out the starting gate in this year's Run for the Roses. First off, the race has been moved from two weeks before the Kentucky Derby to three weeks before, which makes it a viable option for more horses. And second, even with only 10 points to the winner, the race could end up being the lynchpin for whether or not a late hopeful gets into the Derby starting gate or not. Therefore, I would expect a few also-rans from each of the Spiral Stakes, the Florida Derby, and the Louisiana Derby to run in this race to take a last-ditch shot at earning enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. It should be an interesting scenario.
It figures to be a great prep race season on the road to the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 2. Watch close throughout these final prep races as the contenders begin to sort themselves out from the pretenders. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy a profitable prep season!

Greater Noida, Aug 23: Veteran cricketer Yuvraj Singh is 'very excited' to play his first-ever pink-ball match under floodlights and coloured clothing as India 'Red' is taking on Suresh Raina-led India 'Green' in Duleep Trophy opener on Tuesday (Aug 23).
The left-handed batsman termed the new format of the game as an "exciting new challenge".
"It will be exciting and we expect pink ball to swing. Unless we are out there in the middle, it will be difficult to give a feedback. This match will also serve as a comeback opportunity for me as well as (Suresh) Raina. We all saw the Australia versus New Zealand encounter and how much the ball swung," Yuvraj said ahead of the Duleep Trophy match.
Rival captain Raina on his part said that this new stadium in NCR is known for good pitches as he has had the experience of playing a Ranji Trophy game against Baroda.
(Preview: Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina face off in historic Duleep Trophy pink-ball game)
"I had played a game against Baroda and the pitch was good," Raina said.
The players as well as the rival coaches -- WV Raman and Narendra Hirwani -- said that there has not been problems in sighting the pink ball even during the afternoon session.
However, with the practice pitches entirely different from the match strip which will have adequate grass cover to keep the shine of the pink kookaburra, it will be a completely different proposition in a match situation.
It will be interesting to watch how likes of Yuvraj, Raina, Gambhir cope with swing under lights which is the bone of contention for many. The Kookaburra ball has a record of swinging more during the twilight session.

About the Artist

She is a homemaker, aka stay at home wife, who enjoys writing drawing and music. She has been interested in music since she was 2, writing since she was 4, and drawing since she was 5. Music is what inspires her to create her pieces.
In her childhood she worked on improving her skill on these interests and now in her adulthood she plays guitar and sings, draws abstract art and design ideas, and writes poetry and short stories and is being published in a book that is in the works about autism and animals. In addition to designing, drawing, music, and writing her main favorite intrest is studying animal care and behavior for her kitty Erica Von Stardust and her 4 hermit crabs.
A Message From the Artist
As an autistic person and someone with ADHD, PTSD, BIPOLAR II, BPD, and DERMATILLOMANIA I have started a special interest in stim toys.
Searching other sites specifically for stim toys for DERMA and AUTISM I have come across a common use of Buddhist prayer beads as a stim toy. However, I realized this can exclude some people, such as myself, from using them due to religious reasons or just wanting to respect those who use them for religious purposes. So, I have taken to making a neutral non denominational wood bead necklace specifically for fidgeting purposes only.
My hope is that I can bring some comfort to those who may have benefited from such a type of fidget necklace but have been hesitant to use a beaded necklaces purposed for such a intimate use. I have always been interested in crafts and have had surprisingly good fine motor skills so I highly enjoy any kind of crafting and if it helps other people that is even better!

China – Locally made Range Rover Evoque to roll out on October 21
I'm a true-blooded petrolhead. Hope you enjoy our news stories, launch coverages, motorshow coverages and test drive reports.
The Evoque in China comes with a 2.0L petrol engine.
Land Rover will roll out the first China-made Range Rover Evoque on October 21, according to a report on ChinaDaily's website. The Chery-Jaguar Land Rover Automotive's JV production plant in Changshu located in the Jiangsu province, will make the 5-door version of the Evoque. The 3-door model will continue to be imported from the Halewood plant in the U.K.
The Chery-JLR joint venture was announced in November 2012. The joint venture, apart from making the Evoque, will manufacture the Freelander 2 and the long wheelbase XF which is exclusive to the Chinese market. The planned production capacity for the first phase will be 130,000 units per annum.
The joint venture decided to make the Evoque first given its popularity among the Chinese. According to Zhu Guohua, deputy president of the joint venture, one in three Jaguar Land Rovers sold is an Evoque.
The Evoque in China is powered by the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine (a Ford EcoBoost unit) capable of 240 hp and 340 Nm of torque. It comes with a 4WD system and a 9-speed automatic transmission.

The locally made Evoque is expected to have its public premiere at the Guangzhou Motor Show next month. The CBU-route Evoque with the 9-speed transmission was launched in India at the Auto Expo 2014.

A Richmond County Board of Education investigation has uncovered a sex scandal involving teachers, coaches and the principal of an Augusta middle school.
Calling it an "embarrassment" and "yucky," Superintendent Dana Bedden said seven Spirit Creek Middle School faculty members have been implicated in the incidents, which ranged from a pat on the butt to sexual trysts on an inflatable mattress in the school's public safety office during school hours.
At a news conference Monday, Dr. Bedden added several more faculty members to the lengthy list of staff and faculty implicated in the incidents. Refusing to provide names, Dr. Bedden said the school's graduation coach, who is listed as John Barksdale, was issued a letter of reprimand. Another unnamed teacher has been reprimanded and suspended.
A special education teacher and a physical education teacher were issued letters of advisement, which Dr. Bedden said informed them that allegations had been made against them but that the school board did not have enough information to pursue punishment.
This comes after the resignations of teacher Denise Ogden and former Principal Sharon McAlevy in November, and the firing of former school board public safety officer Ronnie Collins from his job with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office in October.
The investigation into the incidents began earlier this year when Ms. Ogden, writing under a pseudonym, sent an e-mail to the members of the school system claiming that faculty members were having sex during school hours.
After roughly two months, during which the Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted polygraph tests on school staff, Dr. Bedden said investigators concluded Ms. Ogden was having a relationship with Mr. Collins -- who was one of the school's public safety officers at the time. A third person, whose identity was unclear, Dr. Bedden said, completed what has been called a "love triangle."
Dr. Bedden apologized and said no pupils are believed to have been around when the incidents occurred. Calling the situation "uncomfortable," Dr. Bedden said the sheer number of allegations made it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.
"I have to be honest with you, as superintendent, this is probably one of the most difficult things I've had to do to try to make sure to be fair to people, but at the same time to hold these people accountable," he said.
Dr. Bedden did not rule out additional action against faculty and staff should more information come to light.
"This is not a perfect science," he said. "Anytime you are dealing with people, allegations are made that are true and some that are made are false. But in the end we try get at the truth as opposed to what is sensationalized or what makes for exciting conversation."
Two out of the seven people accused are still working at the middle school, he said.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to mix two Pixar films together, brace yourself, because Princess Anna and Dory have officially become BFFs.
On Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kristen Bell and Ellen DeGeneres brought their iconic animated characters to life and their first encounter was awesome. Bell might've been on the talk show to promote her new comedy, The Good Place, but DeGeneres couldn't pass up an opportunity to have two Pixar favorites meet and chat with one another.
DeGeneres proposed that Princess Anna from Frozen and Dory from Finding Dory do a scene together and what happened next was brilliant. Bell was given an Anna cutout to put her face in as DeGeneres poked her head through a Dory cutout and then the banter began.
"Hi, Dory. I'm Princess Anna!" Bell said in her perfect, high-pitched Anna voice. "Hi, I'm Dory. Who are you?" DeGeneres responded, channeling Dory's iconic short-term memory loss issue in the process. "I'm Princess Anna!" Bell said again.
The two went back and forth for a bit because as we all know, Dory doesn't remember anything!
"Do you want to build a snowman?" Bell asked. "I'd love to build a snowman," DeGeneres answered.
"Great, let's do it!" Bell said. "I'm Dory, who are you?" DeGeneres added, never breaking character. These two are hilarious. Could you imagine an actual crossover Pixar film where Anna created a sandman instead of a snowman and helped Dory find whatever she'd recently lost, while singing and dancing? That is a movie we'd like to see!
Watch the whole meeting between Anna and Dory above. Plus, Bell's entire interview premieres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, Tuesday, Sept. 20. Check your local listings for the times near you.

Smoked Trout Salad with Avocado Dressing
One of my favorite go-to ingredients is Smoked Trout. With a delicate texture and deep smoky flavor, it's fabulous for quick meals, like this Smoked Trout Salad with Avocado Dressing.
Sultry summer evenings.
Hair pulled up, iced tea in hand, rocking on the deck, fireflies gently flickering, crickets droning in the distance. This is what a summer evening is to me.
Some nights, we let the kids play outside after dark. We laugh as we watch them make their summertime memories. We deliberately breath in our family time, knowing our babies will only be young and innocent a little while longer. We sit and talk about how it seems like only yesterday…
Later we tuck two exhausted little nippers under the covers and sit outside on the deck. Thinking only of the sounds we hear and the warm breeze kissing our skin.
We don't think about feeding the grownups until late in the evening, when we are ready to open a bottle of wine.
This, my friends, is the perfect moment to pull out smoked trout.
When you crave something succulent and slightly lavish, but don't want to think about cooking a meal.
Smoked Trout is a treat, straight out of the package, with tender fleshy layers and an intense salty-sweet flavor. It makes plain dishes come to life, and does wonders for a cheese board.
One of my favorite ways to eat smoked trout is on a bright seasonal salad. This Smoked Trout Salad with Avocado Dressing is loaded with fresh goodies from a roadside farm stand.
The peaches and radishes are a lovely pairing with the rich smoked trout because of their light clean flavors.
To accompany this salad, I made an ultra creamy (and healthy) Avocado Dressing. It takes no time to place the ingredients in the food processor, and puree a silky-smooth avocado dressing with a light airy quality.
As we sit under the stars with Prosecco in one hand and a mouthwatering Smoked Trout Salad with Avocado Dressing in the other, I can't help but hum to myself, "Summertime and the living is easy…"

The Devil Wears Prada meets The Apprentice in a new reality TV show in which Joanna Coles, the British editor of American Marie Claire magazine, is the unlikely star.
Running in Heels launches tonight with the promise of an unabashed behind-the-scenes look at a top fashion magazine. Coles, a former New York correspondent for the Guardian, took the decision to let the cameras in and takes a starring role in the series, which is a mish-mash of documentary and staged reality.
The move is a canny one for Coles, who obviously has a sharp eye for how to promote her magazine and has realised that if you are not on TV, you are nowhere. The series kicks off with the appointment of Project Runway judge Nina Garcia as the magazine's new fashion director - a canny move in itself seeing how big the show is in the US and which follows Marie Claire's supplanting of Elle as the programme's official partner.
While the cameras follow Garcia's arrival in the middle of New York fashion week and the preparations for a big welcome party for her, there is also the side story of three new interns starting at the magazine.
Funnily enough, they live together and have personalities that just happen to clash with each other - perfect for the cameras. Each is desperate to get a job at the magazine and most of the show's drama - if you can call it that - comes from the three of them bitching about each other.
Coles herself comes across well, although in the way that English people always seem to in American shows - posh, strict and slightly disconnected to the emotion going on around her. She has been dubbed the "Simon Cowell of fashion", but told the London Evening Standard that "once you're a Brit in America, you're either Tina Brown, Anna Wintour or Simon Cowell.
"The similarity lies in the fact that he says what he thinks and doesn't sugar-coat it ... I run a magazine, I'm not the school matron."
Running in Heels is airing on the Style Network in the States, and a recent visit to New York proved they were putting considerable effort behind promoting it. In the UK, the show premieres tonight at 10pm on the Style Network's UK outlet, which can be found all the way back on the Sky EPG at slot 253.

Many Believe that the field around the Reactor Rod, after its use, was not truly a magnetic one but on of a human aura. This is a case and further testing is being conducted at various locations around the world. You may use Glass, Aluminum or Steel for the rod and you will still have the Aura.
During tests since 1983, the amount of Carbon found coming from the GEET Reactor chamber was always lower. In some cases he complete absence of Carbon creates an abundance of O2 23.4% O2 has been found in the final exhaust while using crude oil as the main fuel.
Excess electrons are pulled through the planet, to the North, and are dispelled as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
This restriction causes the exhaust stroke of the engine to become a power stroke, by electrical means, which needs further study.
Because GEET Fuel is do perfect of a burn and blends better than conventional fuels, it will ignite from the center of the piston and move outward, causing much less wear and vibration to any engine.
A mass of higher temperature differential will achieve a more rapid movement to the cooler, and will surpass the mean temperature of the cooler because of this thermal momentum.
This is only some of the 190 phenomena that are attributed to the GEET process.

Graphical settings in games often come with an inadequate explanation, and it can be hard to know what's best for your setup. Here I'll attempt to explain various graphical settings, I'll describe their effect, how they work and what sort of impact they'll have on performance.
This may be a bit obvious, I think it's important to have a solid foundation when you're building a tower of graphical knowledge.
A 'pixel' refers both to the physical, colour changing dot that populates your screen in the millions and the computational representation of that pixel.
A display resolution is the dimensions of a display in pixels, a game's resolution is the dimensions of the game's window. In Fullscreen mode a game will stretch to fit the physical screen, which is rather inexpensive. Games can run much faster rendered at a smaller resolution and then stretched back to your screen's resolution, although the decrease in quality can be rather apparent.
Resolutions are written "width x height", As an example, the most common resolution is 1920×1080, which is 1920 pixels wide and 1080 high.
Aspect Ratio
An aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and height in a resolution. For example, a resolution of 1920×1080 has an aspect ratio of 16:9, 1280×1024 5:4 and 1440×900 16:10
Any resolution with an aspect of 16:9 will be the same shape as a 1920×1080 display.
Anti-aliasing involves combining neighbouring pixels to reduce jaggies.
Here is a list of Anti-aliasing types and their relevant performance impact:
Off: No impact
Computers update the pixels on a screen one at a time, typically as fast as 60 times a second to keep up with what could be on the screen(On sensible platforms, at least…)
V-it stops new information from being sent to the screen while the screen displays it. Because (most, if not all) software updates the screen from the top and then to the bottom(vertically), changes made to the visual content during a frame will only affect the part of that frame that hasn't been drawn yet.
As an example. one place this often manifests when in a first person game, there is a horizontal pole and the player looks up sharply. By the time the monitor has rendered the whole pole, it's now actually a few pixels lower than it used to be, so it'll render parts of that line again. And if that the pole becomes 1 pixel lower half-way through rendering a line, only the second half of that line will be rendered at all, leaving an unsightly jagged line.
Vsync basically means that the visual content won't change while the monitor is being updated. One way to do this is called "Double buffering", where basically the visual data is written to a separate location(A buffer), and the monitor takes the data from that buffer and displays it as soon as it's finished.
Small problem is, Double buffering adds latency because while the buffer is being copied to the screen, any attempts to draw to it would defeat the purpose and produce screen artefacts. Another method, Triple buffering, is effectively double buffering with 1 extra buffer. While one buffer is busy being read from, the other will be written to, so it doesn't need to wait for the first buffer to finish being read. The buffers will switch roles and the Double buffering latency will no longer be an issue.
Science! I'll update this with more graphical features in the future because my articles are like Hogwarts.

Telephone interpreting with video link now enables a deaf person using sign language to connect with services via webcam. Using widely available free software such as Skype, ooVoo or other similar software telephone interpreting is now possible between people who hear and do not know sign language and deaf sign language users. Good quality broadband connection is necessary.
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and Video Conference Interpreting (VCI) are possible using freeware (for one to one connections) such as Skype, ooVoo, and other readily available software. Quality of image will depend on the level of traffic, broadband speeds, and the specification of the device on which you are viewing the image, computer screen, video-phone,etc. Freeware does not meet with minimum recommended specifications for a professional service. However, while we are currently astertaining the level of interest in remote interpreting by service providers and deaf consumers, and we are consulting with other service providers on their experiences, examining international research on this type of provision and consulting the deaf community on the potential impact on quality of service for all service users and interpreter providers, it is possible to book a video interpretation with us.
How does it work?
If you provide a service / information, and a deaf person is attending an appointment with you, you simply call our office via Skype using a webcam (assuming you have fast enough line such as ISDN, DSL or broadband) and we will interpret. The deaf person will see our interpreting on your PC screen.

ATLANTA --- The man awaiting trial for a bloody escape at the Atlanta courthouse in 2005 is suspected of enlisting his pen-pal girlfriend, a paralegal and at least two sheriff's deputies in a scheme to break out again, according to law enforcement documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Brian Nichols allegedly plotted to cut his way through the cinderblock walls of the Fulton County Jail, jump into a waiting van and make his way to his girlfriend up North. Mr. Nichols evidently used his charm to draw his girlfriend into the plot, while some of the other players were bribed with cash and the prospect of romance with the woman, according to the documents, which include statements from the girlfriend and letters she exchanged with Mr. Nichols.
The alleged breakout attempt apparently did not get past the planning stages, and Mr. Nichols was abruptly moved to another jail in October 2006 for reasons that are not entirely clear.
Special prosecutor Ken Wynne, who has been reviewing the allegations since April, would not discuss the investigation Thursday, and no charges have been filed.
"My God," attorney James E. Voyles, who represents the widow of a sheriff's deputy Mr. Nichols is charged with killing in the shooting spree, said of the allegations. "It's shocking. I would be surprised if there were not indictments."
Reached by telephone Friday, one of Mr. Nichols' attorneys refused to comment.
Exactly how the latest alleged plot came to authorities' attention is not explained, but they had been monitoring his conversations over a jailhouse phone, and later granted the girlfriend, Lisa Meneguzzo, 38, of Beacon Falls, Conn., immunity from prosecution. The documents obtained by the AP consist largely of what she told investigators.
Ms. Meneguzzo said she began writing to Mr. Nichols, 36, after his arrest in the courthouse shootings, talked with him by phone and visited him a number of times in jail, where they held hands and kissed, and where she once sat in such a way that he could look up her skirt.
She told investigators that Mr. Nichols asked her to go to a Home Depot store and buy a masonry saw, a circular saw, a jack and other tools capable of cutting through 11 to 12 inches of cinderblock. It is not clear from the records whether the tools were ever bought.
In a letter to Ms. Meneguzzo, Mr. Nichols said his plan once he got out was to hop into a cargo van driven by a friend who would pose as a Red Cross volunteer. He said there would be boxes in the back he could hide in.
The documents make no mention of any attempts to obtain a gun.
AS FOR THE OTHER alleged conspirators, Ms. Meneguzzo told investigators that a paralegal who once worked for Mr. Nichols' defense team, Tamela Hysten, gave Mr. Nichols pages from a book that were about escape and evasion.
Ms. Meneguzzo said she also helped recruit a deputy at the jail, David Ramsey, who was responsible for guarding Mr. Nichols, saying that he made advances toward her in a jail elevator and that she used that to her advantage.
After Mr. Ramsey resigned, another deputy who was dating Ms. Hysten became their "main man," Ms. Meneguzzo said. She said she didn't know the deputy's name.
Ms. Meneguzzo said she paid Mr. Ramsey $300 to $500 every four to six weeks for an unspecified period of time. She said she also gave money to Ms. Hysten, including a blank check, and separately gave Ms. Hysten three wire payments of $500 to give to the second deputy. The documents include a canceled check for $500 made out to Ms. Hysten and signed by Ms. Meneguzzo.
In a letter to Ms. Meneguzzo, Mr. Nichols said morale among the guards at the jail was low, as was their pay, factors he believed might work to his advantage.
Ms. Meneguzzo said she was able to pass Mr. Nichols a cell phone, and Mr. Ramsey helped keep it charged. Beyond that, what role Mr. Ramsey or other deputies were supposed to play in the breakout itself was not clear from the documents.
Prosecutors previously disclosed in court papers a transcript of a June 2006 call between Mr. Nichols and Ms. Meneguzzo in which the inmate asked her to describe the location of a tower and barbed wire around the jail.
Ms. Meneguzzo said Mr. Nichols' brother Mark was also in on the plot, but she did not specify his role beyond saying he sent her a package that she forwarded to the paralegal, Ms. Hysten.
Ms. Meneguzzo declined to comment when reached by phone.
Mr. Ramsey told AP he knew about the cell phone and charged it a couple of times. He also said Ms. Meneguzzo had approached him about "trying to find somebody to bring some type of tool to help (Nichols) get out of jail."
BACKGROUND: Brian Nichols faces murder and other charges in the March 11, 2005, escape and shooting rampage that began at a downtown Atlanta courthouse and left four people dead. He eventually surrendered after forcing his way into the home of Ashley Smith, a former Augusta resident. DEVELOPMENTS: - In November, the judge overseeing the murder trial delayed it until adequate funds are secured for Mr. Nichols' lawyers. - In April, a special prosecutor started reviewing allegations that Mr. Nichols plotted another escape. - In October 2006, he was transferred from Fulton County Jail to DeKalb County's jail. WHAT'S NEXT: Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty if Mr. Nichols is convicted of murder.

Coil Balance inquiry
A handy person from Broussard says:
November 26, 2014
My dad has windows in his house that are 50 years old the coil balances broken how do I know what lb.to get. His windows are aluminum double pane. The coil hooks on top the window and the coil is attached to the top frame. I could not find any markings on the spring coil. Although after 50 years of use. I attached photos of the spring and housing and hook.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
December 1, 2014
Seeing as how your window is 50 years old, I believe you have a wood window with coil springs. If that is correct, I'll try to to help you. Can you weigh the sash using a bathroom scale? That would help us determine what strength spring you need.
A quick learner from louisiana says:
December 2, 2014
Window is aluminum single pane and weights 12 lbs.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
December 4, 2014
I see. In that case, I would recommend our S152-6 coil spring. Each spring can carry 6 pounds each. Please note that the width is 1/2" and the travel is 35".

Scholars Rank Reagan "Near Great," Clinton "Average" In Survey
November 16, 2000
In a survey undertaken by the Federalist Society and The Wall Street Journal, 78 scholars were asked to rank the 39 U.S. presidents who have served more than a few months in office. The sponsors claim it is the most politically balanced ranking of the presidents to date.
- Three presidents -- Washington, Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt -- were accorded the status of "Great."
- Four were pronounced "Failures" -- Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, Warren Harding and James Buchanan.
- In addition to Reagan, "Near Great" status was conferred on Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, James Polk and Woodrow Wilson.
- Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy came in at the bottom of the list in the "Above Average" category.
Among Twentieth Century presidents ranked "Below Average" were Gerald Ford, Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.
The scholars ranked Ronald Reagan as the most Underrated president -- as well as the second most Overrated -- suggesting a lack of academic consensus about his presidency.
Kennedy was the most Overrated president by a wide margin.

Tom Petkus is an English film photographer, based-in Brighton but originally from a small town of Mazeikiai in Lithuania. "My endeavour into photography began after one of the most heart-breaking events in my life that made me view sadness and loneliness in a different light- not viewing these emotions as something entirely negative but as fundamental and almost necessary experiences in life that are the polar opposite of happiness." He says.
Tom shoots mostly portrait on film, especially black and white with multiple exposure photography. He loves to incorporate poetry from various poets into his work, "which helps to explain the content of my portraits".

Pomona, (PressExposure) July 03, 2009 -- Sending gifts through mails has been one of the many popular cultures of Filipinos, specifically with OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) sending Balikbayan Boxes to the Philippines. But other than material gifts such as toys or any other kinds of things, sending flowers to the Philippines is also a growing industry. In today's technology pertaining to communications, Filipinos are allowed to send flowers to Philippines [http://www.myayala.com/shop/categs.asp?k=Flowers-philippines&categ_id=362] or any other kinds of gifts by use of the internet. One particular online gift shop that provides a way for Filipinos to send flowers to Philippines [http://www.myayala.com/shop/categs.asp?k=Flowers-philippines&categ_id=362] is myAyala.
Like any other, myAyala is an online gift shop that provides the widest ranges of gift items for Filipinos living abroad. Because its online, Filipinos could easily order a gift, from food to flowers, and have it sent back to their families in the Philippines. This is one of the many ways that OFWs could send their gifts back to the Philippines. So what are the advantages of sending gifts through online gift shops such as as with myAyala than the use of Balikbayan Boxes?
One obvious advantage of online gift shops over the use of balikbayan boxes is its convenience. All the OFW have to do is to buy their gifts by use of a computer (which is connected to the internet) and have it sent on their family, unlike balikbayan boxes in which the OFW would have to make time to prepare the box and the content. Usually, preparing a balikbayan box requires them to buy the stuff on their own which is very time consuming, especially when running on a very tight schedule from work whereas online shopping only takes about minutes and can also be done at work.
Another popular feature about online gift shops is that OFWs could easily send flowers to Philippines [http://www.myayala.com/shop/categs.asp?k=Flowers-philippines&categ_id=362] which is impossible with balikbayan boxes. With online gift shops such as myAyala, Filipinos are offered the possibility of giving flowers to their loved ones to celebrate their anniversary or send their grief by sending flowers for a funeral.
The one drawback of using online flower shops is its expensiveness. Compared to balikbayan boxes, which is considered as the most economical way of sending stuff back to the Philippines, online stuffs such as clothing, toys, and flowers have added costs, usually for delivery fees (though some online gift shops offer free delivery).

Great review dude. Go tell those children over in the Spawn of Possession thread to start listening to real dm.
Album Rating: 4.0Sure thing bro
Listening to real dm is for pussies, you don't understand how br00tal all the modern day $lamz0r shit is. Fak ju grandpa poser.
For real, this is good stuff. Wish death n roll became more of a thing... but as is, every last band that played it in the 90s was different.
Album Rating: 3.5Good review, great album. Too bad they dropped into the toilet faster than just about any other death band I can think of (except Pyogenesis).
Digging: Adimiron - Et Liber Eris
Everything I've heard from this band has been pretty bland
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
"Reality / When You Die" is an awesome track.
Good review, pos.
One suggestion:
their obvious leading candidate would be Pestilence, who's excellent Consuming Impulse reigns in the upper echelons of death metal classics, and also Sinister
should one cared to nominate a leader in the said sector, this would be either Pestilence and their excellent album Consuming Impulse or (or along with) Sinister and their three first albums.
Digging: Fleurety - The White Death
Album Rating: 3.5This is the best they have to offer.
lame band
"Go tell those children over in the Spawn of Possession thread to start listening to real dm."
I thought this was False
Is this the only thing worth listening to by Gorefest? Is it worth listening to at all?

Inferior to Mindloss but it has an amazing drumming work and the lyrics are completely brilliant in all kinds of ways.
