Duck Dynasty Sadie Robertson: 'People tell me not to turn out like Miley Cyrus'
Sadie Robertson, the sixteen year old starlet of A&E's hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty, has spoken out about her faith, saying that God is "at the top" of everything she does.
The show focuses on the Robertson family – Phil, Miss Kay and their children and grandchildren – and their homegrown business, 'Duck Commander', which makes duck callers for hunters.
The Robertsons are devoted Christians and have caused some controversy for being uncompromising in their beliefs on camera.
Phil Robertson was suspended from the show in December last year after making what were considered to be anti-homosexual comments in GQ magazine, but after much protest he was later reinstated by the network.
Sadie is the latest member of the family to hit the headlines, asserting that she won't go the same way as troubled young stars like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. She believes that her faith keeps her grounded and will always be her first priority.
"The world can influence you in some bad ways. I know I couldn't do it by myself and my family reminds me why I'm doing this," she told Fox411.
"We wouldn't have anything that we do have if it weren't for God and we have to give Him the glory for everything.
"I get a tweet at least once a day that says, 'I hope Sadie Robertson doesn't turn out like Miley Cyrus.'
"When you're famous you do get so much attention that I can see how you could just think the world of yourself, [but] I think if you go into it thinking that this is not for me, that this is for God, you'll be okay."
The family firmly believe that Duck Dynasty is a God-given opportunity to share their faith with the world, and Sadie says the show has "done a good job of getting out God's message".
"We could have easily done a reality show like everyone else. But it's our faith that catches people's eyes because sadly, it's not something we're used to seeing these days," she adds.
Sadie is keen to share her journey with other young people, and now has a YouTube channel with fellow reality TV star Kolby Koloff of 'Preachers' Daughters'. The two regularly post videos in which they discuss their faith and how to stand for Christ in an increasingly secular culture. The young Robertson has also launched a modest prom dress clothing line which she calls "daddy approved".
"I think people use fame as an excuse to lose their faith," Sadie finishes.
"Faith is obviously my number one priority and I think you need to put God at the top of everything you do."

Results 1 to 3 of 3
September 30th, 2009, 08:09 PM #1CafePress
Just a heads up...
When CafePress purchased Imagekind, they added a link to their site. It was a leak, but meh... I didn't mind so much.
They've since added things like the Flip camera that you can not earn commissions from. Didn't like that so much because they were featured prominently.
Recently, they've been partnering with companies.... the first company is in the shopping cart promoting free shipping. It's called freeshipping.com. Yeah... you can google that one.
The next company up to bat is one they're using for the t-shirt give away pop up at the very bottom of the page when you scroll down. (Sweepery.com) Check out the About page....
The latest? Google AdSense.... yep.... sure enough.... AdSense.
I'm assuming that it's a split test experiment because not all of us shopkeepers are seeing it. Do a search for anything... dogs, for example... scroll down and you might catch it just below the big green Customize Your Own Products button.

Is this on just the free shops or premium shops or both?CUSTOM BANNERS by GRAPHICS CANDY ~ Banner Sets and Website Graphics ~ Professional design, reasonable rates
DESIGNER DOG CHECKS ~ We double-dog dare ya to write one!
October 1st, 2009, 01:11 AM #3
Imagekind links are in the marketplace.
FreeShipping.com was in both the premium shops and the marketplace, but several shopkeepers objected and it was removed from our premium shops. It remains in the marketplace's shopping cart.
Sweepery and AdSense are both in the marketplace. I haven't seen them in premiums.
It appears to be safer to link directly to premium shops.... however, CP has been very volatile lately and has been making changes and partnering with these companies at the drop of a hat. Thankfully, our shopkeepers are very proactive and notice things almost immediately.

It is a primal urge to remain in one's home. It's safe and familiar. But a mandatory evacuation is serious and you have to go.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear you'll return to a home. Might be some damage, but your place is still there.
Matthew saved up all that damage until he hit our state...
Oh, Jen. You brave soul. I love your list of items that you grabbed and your evacuation bag! Blessings to you as you re-enter the hurricane zone. It is disconcerting, to say the least.ReplyDelete
Oh wow! This must have been so hard for you. It only makes sense that one should leave a dangerous situation if they can, but leaving one's home behind, one's things that they identify their life ... that's tough. So glad you and yours are okay.ReplyDelete
I live on Florida's east coast, and we evacuated, too. Most of our car space went to my pets and the items they needed, but I managed to take a few books with me.ReplyDelete
We came back on Saturday, and it was a stressful trip because we didn't know what we were coming back to. Hope you find far less damage than you're expecting.
Oh, Jen...ReplyDelete
I so know how you feel. I lived through FOUR major Hurricanes when I lived in Florida and thankfully we got through them pretty much unscathed. Lots of fallen trees, power out for a few weeks, that sort of thing, but nothing devastating. THANK GOD... I hope you return to your safe haven with nothing more than a few fallen branches...
I lived in Savannah for ten months back in 2001-2002. It saddens me to think of those grand trees going down, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. Considering all the copies of Harry Potter out there in the world, I'm surprised you bothered to take yours! After kids and pets, I would grab my laptop and maybe some artwork.ReplyDelete
Why people stay - you explained it exactly. We've hunkered down during storms, riding them out, but I don't know what we would do if there was a mandatory evacuation. I hope we never have to find out.ReplyDelete
Please take care! Hang in there!
Oh Jen, I can only imagine. We've been praying every night for everyone affected by the hurricane. We in the Orlando area, and blessedly, the Matthew veered east when it was passing our area, but we felt the threat. I'm hoping for you and we'll continue praying on your behalf, and all others who were uprooted. I'm glad you're safe.ReplyDelete
Hope things weren't too bad for you! My friend Ariel had to evacuate, too, and she said there's debris everywhere.ReplyDelete

A Week in Tuscany
From Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, Monteriggioni, Volterra, San Gimignano, Arezzo to Cortona, with one week in Tuscany you still won't see it all. A true Tuscan enjoys every minute of life and never rushes anything. In this itinerary I have carefully suggested the appropriate time of travel to each destination in Tuscany so that you can enjoy all they have to offer.

I'm making a third return visit to Napa and Sonoma in a few weeks, and trying to figure out a good itinerary. My priority is mainly tasting wines that are harder to get in New York City, from smaller places. Not that interested in elaborate tours. Willing to make appointments if necessary. Price is not a huge factor, but I want to spend more time in Sonoma because it is less expensive and the places are smaller.
My initial thought is to break it up like this:
Day 1
Sonoma Dry Creek Valley/Anderson Valley
Day 2
Day 3
Sonoma Russian River Valley, etc.
To give some idea of places I like, I am a member at Dutch Henry Winery in Napa, and Seghesio Vineyards and Gundlach Bundschu in Sonoma. I will visit each of those again this time.
Advice much appreciated!

Reed Smith reunites ex-Freshfields finance duo" />Reed Smith Richards Butler has boosted its finance practice with the addition of Clyde & Co asset finance partner Siva Subramaniam.
Subramaniam, who joins from the London office of Clyde & Co, where he was also a partner, is reunited with Rex Rosales, who leads Reed Smith's transport finance practice in London. Both were together at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Rosales said he was "ecstatic" that Subramaniam had joined his team. "He is a consummate professional and a business builder," he added.
"He is joining an energetic team within a dynamic firm and this hire demonstrates Reed Smith Richards Butler's growing commitment to transport finance. We're taking advantage of the existing platform and taking it to the next level. We see current market troubles as creating opportunities for those willing to innovate."
Rosales joined Reed Smith from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer last year. He worked with Subramaniam at his previous firm. Prior to joining Clydes as a partner in January 2006 Subramaniam was a senior associate at the magic circle firm.
Subramaniam said: "I am looking forward to reuniting with Rex to work as a team again."
Subramaniam's practice focuses on the financing and leasing of assets including corporate and commercial aircraft, rolling stock, film, infrastructure, ground-handling and defence related assets.
A spokeswoman for Clydes said the firm has been focusing on growing its asset finance team for some time and sees no need to directly replace Subramaniam.

You sit around watching all this stuff happen on TV… and the TV sits and watches us do nothing!
How Many Hours of Television do You Watch Per Day?
Is television a bit of an addiction in your life? Do you feel drawn to your television set like a bee to a flower?
Many of us habitually watch television without giving this habit a second thought. In fact, the average person in America spends about 5 hours of their day watching television. That's equal to about a quarter of their day.
Most of us of course sleep for about 7 hours per night. Our waking time is therefore cut to about 17 hours. If 5 of those hours are spent watching television, then that's almost 30 percent of the waking day that the average person indulges in television.
Let's do some additional calculations here to get a little more perspective.
5 hours over a week totals 35 hours. The average full-time job is about 40 hours per week. Therefore, watching television essentially becomes almost another full-time job for most people.
Let's dig into this even further…
Over the course of a year, those 35 hours turn into 1,820 hours of time spent in front of the television set. That totals almost 76 days of television that people watch per year. Given that we sleep for about 106 days per year, that essentially just leaves us about 183 days in a calendar year to focus on other stuff.
But what about all those chores you have to do? What about the time you spend eating food, in the bathroom, in the shower, etc?
At the very least 3 to 4 hours per day are devoted to these activities (if you're lucky or very efficient). That totals over 1,200 hours per year, or 53 days. Now let's take those 53 days along with the 183 days spent watching television and sleeping, and what you have left is about 130 days in a calendar year to live your life.
This certainly puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
Things like sleeping, taking care of life's chores and other necessities are of course an essential part of life. These are hours of your day that will continue to consume your time. And there's very little you can do about it. However, when it comes to your television addiction, well that's time you can actually get back — if you so choose.
Think about this for a second. When you watch television you are watching other people work. You are essentially watching other people get paid to entertain you, while you sit and relax. They're making money, while you're secretly wishing you had more money in your bank account.
Instead of watching television, you could be earning money, or living your own life, instead of getting lost in a world that isn't your own. Just think about all the stuff you could do, all the things you could experience, and all the things you could learn if you chose not to spend 76 days per year watching television.
Over the course of 1,820 hours per year, you could literally transform your life!
Why You Should Stop Watching Television
Okay, so television is a little bit of an addiction. But you enjoy your TV shows. You like your movies, and you just can't miss the news and current events.
I'm not going to make the argument that television is evil and that it's absolutely ruining your life. You yourself must make that judgment. There are obviously many fantastic educational, inspiring and informative programs on television. These programs can help us learn, grow and develop ourselves in a multitude of ways. They are of value and can bring tremendous value to your life. I'm not talking about these types of programs.
What I'm talking about are the shows that have little to no value. They are only designed to entertain a bored brain. In fact, most of the time we are so habitually hardwired to watch television at certain times throughout the day, that we no longer watch for entertainment purposes. We rather watch because we are bored and can't think of anything better to do.
This habitual behavior might seem harmless on the surface, however, below the surface it is costing you a great deal. In fact, it is slowly and subtly stealing your life away.
Given all this, here are key arguments why you should stop watching television:
It Encourages Procrastination
Television is a major cause of procrastination that pulls you away from the stuff that truly matters. It pulls you away from focusing on the things that can help you build a better life. In fact, in many ways television is nothing more but an excuse that draws you away from focusing on more important things.
It's an Unproductive Use of Your Time
Television is simply an unproductive use of time. It's designed for the lazy mind that doesn't want to put thought into what it's doing.
It's Incredibly Addictive
Television is incredibly addictive. In fact, it's very much like alcohol and tobacco addiction. It slowly creeps up on you over time. You try to convince yourself that it's not really an addiction, but the truth is of course very different.
It Weakens Your Willpower
Television weakens your self-control and self-discipline. Willpower is, of course, the key to high levels of achievement. Without willpower, you get drawn into succumbing to life's little pleasures — otherwise known as the Instant Gratification Trap. And it's these little pleasures that eventually sabotage your goals and dreams.
Has a Negative Influence on Your Life
Television has a harmful effect on your beliefs, levels of satisfaction, and outlook on life. It pulls you away from real-world problems that require solutions. And it's of course, these solutions that can help you live life in more optimal ways.
What you believe is a direct result of what you allow yourself to focus on. Therefore your beliefs are heavily influenced by the television shows you watch. This of course, isn't a bad thing, as long as these beliefs do not negatively impact other aspects of your life.
It Significantly Suppresses the Imagination
Television significantly suppresses the imagination. In fact, television is a great example of how others have used their imagination to entertain you. But the key to long-term happiness and fulfillment, of course, rests within your own imagination. You can actually use it to improve every aspect of your life. However wielding your imagination takes practice, and unfortunately, television doesn't provide that.
It Burdens You with a Bombardment of Advertising Messages
Television is filled with advertising messages. And advertising influences your thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and spending habits. In fact, it could very well be the most influential force in your life. And if you're not happy with how your life is at the moment, then you can probably blame the television set for it.
It Can Ruin Your Health and Vitality
Watching television for 5 hours per day leads to a sedentary lifestyle. This affects your posture, health, and energy levels. You of course, might watch television standing up, but most people unfortunately don't. The lack of movement for 5 hours per day is literally killing them.
It Creates Unrealistic Expectations
As you watch your favorite television shows you get an insight into life from a multitude of perspectives. However, this portrayal of life is often very unrealistic and doesn't reflect how life is in the real-world.
This of course, creates a set of unrealistic expectations that you have for your own life. These unrealistic expectations soon turn to failed expectations, and your level of life satisfaction subsequently plummets.
The Value Added Benefits of Watching Less Television
What if you significantly reduced the amount of time you spent in front of the television set starting today? What would be the benefits? What value could that bring to your life?
More Free Time on Your Hands
For starters, you suddenly have more time to spend on other aspects of your life. You essentially have more free time on your hands that you can use to spend with your loved ones, to pursue your goals, or partake in an active hobby.
Reduced Mental Clutter
Another benefit comes in the form of reduced mental clutter. No longer are you spending your valuable time thinking about what will happen on the next episode of your favorite soap opera or drama. You are instead using that thinking time to reflect on your life, relationships, friendships and circumstances. Moreover, you are using that time to solve your own personal problems, rather than worrying about the problems of fictional characters on television.
Improved Quality of Sleep
Some people feel that watching television helps them fall asleep. However, research suggestions that watching television directly before going to bed is actually counterproductive.
Promotes Creative Thinking
The less time you spend watching television the more time you have to ponder and reflect on your own life. These periods of contemplation naturally helps stimulate your imagination, which in turn promotes creative thinking.
Reduces Your Expenses
When you curb your television addiction you immediately start saving money. You do this by lowering your electricity costs, by cutting your cable bill, and by avoiding the spending temptations that television advertisers throw your way.
How to Curb Your Television Addiction
Okay, so hopefully by now, you have enough emotional leverage to start changing your television viewing habits. Within this section let's discuss a simple three-step process you can use to begin to curb your television addiction.
Be warned though that these steps are very simple. They are common sense principles. All you need to do is put them into practice.
Step 1: Take a Personal Inventory
Your first step to curbing your television viewing habits is to take a personal inventory. This essentially involves keeping track of what you're watching. Moreover, it requires tracking how long you watch each television program.
Over the course of the first week, you will want to just keep track of these variables. Don't change your television viewing habits. Rather just maintain your regular television viewing routine and list down what you're watching and how long you're watching it for.
At the end of the week calculate how many hours you spent watching television. You can even break this down even further by listing the television shows, or the types of shows you watched.
Now, looking back at this list, reflect on the opportunity cost. Ask yourself:
What am I missing out on by watching all this television?
What else could I potentially do with my time that could help me live a better life?
Asking these questions is helpful because it focuses you on alternative paths. It helps you see that other options are available that are potentially more worth your time and attention.
Step 2: Make a Commitment to be More Selective
Your next step is to commit to being more selective with the television shows you watch.
Curbing your television addiction doesn't mean giving up television altogether. Some television programming can be of tremendous value. They can help you learn, grow and develop yourself in numerous ways.
It's time now to decide what television programming is actually worth your time. Likewise, you need to figure out what television programs provide little to no value for your growth and development.
In order to figure these things out, ask yourself the following questions:
What goals and aspirations do I have for my life?
How would I like to grow as a person in the coming years?
What information and knowledge is it important for me to acquire to help advance my career, relationships and life?
What television programs are aligned with this vision I have for my life?
What television programs are not aligned with these goals and objectives?
Having answered these questions, your next task is to create a list of television programs that have the most educational and inspirational value. Then commit yourself to primarily watching only these types of programs.
Step 3: Re-Prioritize Your Time
The final step of this process requires re-prioritizing your time.
If you've chosen to give up watching certain television programs, then you will now have more free time on your hands to focus on other things. Here you must get very clear about what those things will be. Ask yourself:
How will I now spend the extra free time I have on my hands?
What new skills could I learn and develop that could help improve my life?
How could I potentially advance my career forward?
What could I do to improve my relationships?
How could I achieve goals that I have been putting off for years?
What valuable knowledge could I gain that would be helpful?
With whom could I spend more time with? How could that be of value?
How could I start living a more active lifestyle?
How could all this have a positive impact on my life in the long-term?
The choices you make here could very well transform your life. It's therefore, important that you don't rush through these questions, but rather take your time with answering them.
In the end, it all boils down to spending time on highest value and biggest impact activities that can help you live a better life. This is of course about long-term benefits. In the short-run, you might see little value in what you're doing. However, the long-term payoffs are what you're really after.
Avoiding the Temptation of Watching Television
If you've gone through the above three steps, then you're already making some good progress. However, changing old habits isn't going to be easy. There will be many times when you will succumb to the path of least resistance. In other words, you will do what is most convenient for you in the short-term rather than what is best for you in the long-run.
No matter how committed you are, there will be moments throughout the week when the temptation to watch mindless television will cross your mind. But before you succumb to this temptation, take a moment to ask yourself the following set of questions:
Does watching television add any real value to my life?
Will my life get any better if I choose to watch this television program?
Why exactly am I tempted to watch this television program?
What specifically do I feel I will gain from this?
What are my real motives for wanting to watch this?
Is watching this television show a form of escape? What am I trying to escape from?
What consequences could result from watching this television program?
What will I miss out on learning or doing if I decide to watch this television show?
What could I focus on right now that would make an actual difference to my life?
How could I potentially use my time more purposefully?
Where would investing my time be of most value in the long-run?
If however you simply couldn't resist the temptation, and you subsequently succumbed to your guilty pleasure, then ask yourself the following questions while watching your television program:
What has this show got me thinking about myself, about life, and about other people?
How does this show influence how I see myself and how I view the world?
Does it have a positive impact on my life? Or is the impact mostly negative?
What emotions has this show stirred up within me? Are these emotions helpful or hurtful?
What impact does this television program have on my life as a whole?
These questions are designed to encourage you to think critically about what you're watching. Their purpose is to make you feel a little uncomfortable, uneasy and possibly somewhat guilty about succumbing to your addiction. But what's done is done, and there's no turning back.
Having successfully resisted the urge to remove yourself from your television set, you now have time to reflect on what just happened. Ask yourself:
Having watched this television show, do I now feel better about myself? Am I in a better place?
Has this television show helped improve my life in some way?
Has this television show challenged me in some way?
Has this television show inspired me to take positive action to improve my life?
What real value have I actually gained from spending time watching this television program?
Consistently asking yourself these questions every time you succumb to your television addiction, helps you gain proper perspective. It draws to mind other possibilities and brings to question the value of your choices and decisions.
Each time you ask yourself these questions you throw a little more doubt on your actions. This progressively begins to shift your belief systems, until eventually, you develop the self-control and willpower you need to resist these kinds of temptations.
Developing new habits isn't easy. Practice and consistency are the key.
The Do's and Don'ts of Overcoming Television Addiction
Here within this final section, let's discuss some general suggestions that can help you work through your television addiction more readily and quickly.
Here's What to Do!
The ultimate key to curbing your television addiction essentially comes down to turning it into a very distasteful experience. And this, of course, comes down to consistently asking yourself the questions outlined within the previous section. These questions will encourage you to question the choices and decisions you make when it comes to your television viewing habits.
Another idea for curbing your television viewing habits is to make the television difficult to access. For instance, take your television set out of your bedroom and put it into another room that's rarely used. Now remove all comfortable couches and sofa chairs, and all of a sudden watching television will no longer be quite as pleasurable of an experience.
However, if you're disciplined enough, then you probably don't need to go to such extremes. Instead, simply limit your television viewing to certain times throughout the day. You can even schedule it within your calendar and only allow yourself to watch television during that time. And at all other times, focus on your passions, on improving yourself, on reading, and on spending time with family and friends.
You can, however, use television as a reward mechanism. You could, for instance, commit yourself to getting certain tasks or goals completed. Then as a reward, you can allow yourself to watch an engrossing and entertaining television show. At least this way television won't get in the way of more important things that can help move your life forward.
If however you simply can't resist watching a favorite television show for entertainment value, then commit yourself to doing so only as a multi-tasking activity. For instance, only watch while you're exercising or cleaning. At least this way you will get more joy from doing household chores.
Now of course, not all television is harmful to your growth and development. There are television programs that will help keep you informed, educated and inspired. Make time to watch these television shows as they will add value to your life.
Here's What Not to Do!
A great many people use television as an escape mechanism from their daily problems. Most television programs are created for one purpose only, and that is to entertain. However, entertainment value rarely if ever translates into life value. Yes, it will make you feel better about yourself in the short-run, but in the long-run, it has no positive impact on your life.
Regrettably, most people only have a short-term view of their life. They don't look long-term and this is why they succumb to mindless television viewing habits that provide next to no value. They use television as a distraction from their problems and difficult emotions. Television essentially helps them fill an empty void in their life.
If you watch television for this very reason, then the truth is, it's not actually helping. It's like taking a painkiller for a headache. The headache is still there, you just can't feel it. Likewise, your problems are still there. All you've managed to do is to successfully distract yourself from them.
People use television to fight boredom, to indulge in procrastination, and to neglect responsibility for their life and circumstances. Yes, it is, in essence, a perfect escape mechanism. But in reality, it's nothing more but an illusion. All the things you are avoiding are still there. Nothing has changed. All that's different is where you're focusing your thoughts and attention. Once the television program you're watching concludes, you are back again in your own world and reality.
The biggest takeaway from all this is not to get caught up using television as an escape mechanism. Focus instead on proactively making changes to improve your life, to solve problems and mend relationships. Television won't help you. You can only help yourself. The power rests fully in your hands.
What Path Will You Choose?
It's time now to make a choice. You can either choose to succumb to your television addiction, or you can choose to actively work on improving your life. You can either choose to live in someone else's television fantasy world, or you can choose to proactively use your own imagination to solve your own problems.
These choices seem easy on the surface. In fact, it makes common sense that you would choose your own life over a television program. However, often we don't think rationally about these kind things, and that is essentially what lets us down in the long-run. But in the end, the choice is all yours. Will you choose to flip on that television switch today? Or will you choose to start making gradual improvements to your life?

After a "middling" career in Hollywood, writer Daedalus Howell returned to Sonoma County, expecting the "rural, rolling hills of his youth." What he found instead was a viticultured, grape-drunk wine country. I Heart Sonoma is the collection of personal essays that resulted from his journey to rediscover his childhood home, filled with much satire and laughter that even the most jaded Sonoma natives and residents will enjoy.

"BJP requires an internal Lokpal to probe why and how tainted leaders have been granted entry into the party, much against the sentiments of party workers," Rai told reporters.
"The party leadership should set up a three-member committee headed and it should be given 15 days time to probe the reasons behind protests at several places against such decisions," he said.
To a media query, he said there are reports that about 30 per cent tickets have been distributed in the state by taking money and alleged that fingers are being pointed at state BJP unit president Surya Pratap Shahi and party leaders Rajnath Singh and Vinay Katiyar.
Rai refuted suggestions that he had a deal with the Congress, saying he would have been given a poll ticket by it if it was the case.
The suspended leader, in his reply today to the notice served on him by Shahi, charged him with adopting double standards on the issue as no action has been initiated against party MPs Maneka Gandhi, Varun Gandhi and Yogi Adityanath who had also expressed reservations on Kushwaha's entry in BJP.
He also claimed there was no truth in the statement that Kushwaha would help BJP get support of backward communities as there are several backward leaders within the party who have been neglected and others on whom the party is not showing enough confidence.
Rai, a former national president of Yuva Morcha, was suspended on Monday had been suspended from the party after he alleged that a deal was struck between some leaders of the party and former BSP minister Babu Singh Kushwaha for his induction in BJP.

Talon 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.
Hi this is my first ever guide for League of Legends, and I would like to do it first with Talon, as assassins are my favourite type of champions, such as Akali, Im gonna show you guys how I build Talon in a way that still has burst and real GOOD survivability. This is my build with Wu Kong as well, people always tell me "NO DONT PLAY WK, HE'S USELESS!" well obviously people build him with just pure dmg and no survivability, and hence dead does not equal dps... am I right?
When you play Talon in ranked, make sure you tell your team your taking SOLO TOP. If you dont... ask if someone would play with you bot. If not, dont play Talon.
Theres one thing I hate most when duo dps bot, is that you will have to compete for CS, IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DUO DPS LANE BOT GET HEART OF GOLD OR PHILO (just get one gp5 not 2)
An unfarmed Talon is useless. Hence why people always say that is bad, needs to be solotop like all bruisers.
Anyways, I will show you what runes to get, items, and why I max E after W.
Pros / Cons
Amazing Burst damage
Easy to get kills
Extremely Fun
And obviously.... assassins creed...
If not built as a bruiser, Talon is very squishy
Cooldowns are kind of long, vulnerable to ganks if you dont ward your lane.
CC's will be a problem
Must engage at the right time for team fights otherwise you just might blow up if you dont build bruiser tanky way.
There are two routes you could go with runes.
The way I play AD is to be very aggressive early game (obviously to only champions you think you can take..)
FIRST: My recommended early game rune aggressiveness
9 x Greater mark of strength
Greater seal of defense9 x Greater seal of defense OR Greater seal of Resilience
9 x Greater glyph of Shielding OR Greater glyph of Warding
3 x Greater quintessence of fortitude
3 x Greater quintessence of strength
Greater quintessence of Desolation3 x Greater quintessence of desolation
WHY? I like to have flat AD runes for the burst.. and it scales with all of Talons skills. Most especially (W) and (Ult)
SECOND: This is the armor pen route when going against... say a Chogath, Irelia or Jarvan IV
Greater mark of Desolation9 x Greater mark of Desolation
Greater seal of defense9 x Greater seal of defense OR Greater seal of Resilience
9 x Greater glyph of Shielding OR Greater glyph of Warding
3 x Greater quintessence of fortitude
3 x Greater quintessence of strength
Greater quintessence of Desolation3 x Greater quintessence of desolation
Why? When going against bruisers, they will always have alot of armor, having ArP will help you lane better against them, and still stay toe to toe even while playing aggressively
It is mostly a preference of your own play style. I would suggest trying out A one game and B next game to see which help you win early dominance.
Summoner Spells
This is a must, it allows him to have more utility and really shine in 1v1 situations even more so then he already does. Could also be used defensively and or aggresively to secure a kill! Exhaust is really good against any AD carry, and also against a burst AP hero.
I personally always get flash, just cause of its utility, may it be used defensively and or aggressively to initiate a gank and what not.
Ignite is also good, just like exhaust but this is more of a selfish type of spell, I prefer getting exhaust when I play AD heroes because of its utility.
Decent, I would only get this if I went full tank, but I would get flash 9 out of 10 times over ghost with Talon.
I build Talon, 21/9/0 as normal bruisers usually do.
well get the standard 21, dont get attack speed as it wont really benefit you much..
Talon is not an AS hero, he is a BURST assassin hero..
I go with the defense tree, as most melee heroes require armor and MR to survive, if you dont, then once you engage you will be like paper to the opposing team.
Either you go 3/3 Magic resist, 3/3 armor and 3/4 dodge
2/3 MR, 2/3 armor, 4/4 dodge, and 1 nimbleness -- Again.. it is personal preference.
YOU COULD ALSO GO THE 21/0/9 route
However, you would get health/mana regen (which tbh isnt really helpful once you get your force of nature, and the fact that Talon doesnt really need much mana).
In my opinion I'd try to avoid this route unless you think you have mana problems.
Skill Sequence/Skill information/Combo
Mercy Passive: MERCY
Talon's auto-attacks deal additional damage to a target that is under the influence of any crowd control effect.
Basically, if your target is cc'd then have fun dealing extra damage on your attacks on them.
Talon viciously stabs his enemy, dealing heavy physical damage and causing them to leave a blood trail that Talon can use to track them.
This will put a bleed effect on your target for a short time and while your target is bleedin, you can see him on the map. This is also a good burst damage skill, however I prefer to max E first, ill explain when I get to cutthroat.
Talon fans out three blades in front of him that quickly return to him, dealing damage and slowing any target hit in either direction.
This is Talons bread and butter, this will be your prioritized skill and should enable you to kill your opponent with ease! Its like sivirs boomerang, but in a shorter range, however this adds a 20% slow! and while he is slowed your passive will increase your auto-attacks!
Cutthroat E: CUTTHROAT
Talon leaps behind his target and silences them for a short duration, amplifying the damage of any of his follow up attacks and abilities.
You will blink to your target and silence him. HOWEVER, you amplify the damage of your next spell! like rake, and if you have sheen aswell it will stack! BURST GG?!?
Combo: Cutthroat> +>auto-attack >>
Talon enters stealth for a short duration, gaining a movement speed boost and sending blades that deal damage to all enemies in their path flying in every direction. Once the blades reach a certain distance, they pause and form a circle. When Talon reappears from stealth, the blades return to him, once again dealing damage to any opponent they pass through.
You go in stealth, your blades will surround you in a medium range radius, and you gain move speed, after a few seconds it will collapse onto you and deal damage to anything it hits. (including anything that got hit by the extrating, and the contracting)
PRIORITY and WHY?
R Obviously this is your ult and it will do alot of damage/ can also be used defensively and has a relatively short cooldown!
W Bread and butter, slows target and does extreme amount of burst!
ECutthroat Silences, and AMPLIFIES YOUR NEXT SPELL, and if you have ... its pretty much goodbye to your target specially in early levels.
Q Good amount of burst, and will put an ignite type of effect(bleed)
COMMON COMBO's!
Cutthroat> +>auto-attack >>
I will add a video on these... for now Ill leave this section for now.
A) and 3x
This is standard, and will help you survive the lane longer and stay aggressive.
If you play passive then this is the item for you.
If you like to be passive aggressive this will help you maintain a bit, as it provides armor and Health regen
D) and a -> Philosopher's stone
If you were stubborn enough to play Talon bot.......... smh
- if they have alot of CC and magic dmg
- if they have alot of AD attackers
- if you want more move speed coz youre a fckin assassin.
- attack speed if youre a pu$$y
AND OR if you have a healer in your team
(only if they have a attack speed stacking AD carry) AND OR
this item is really OP is not a core item, but it is amazing!
Basically just build the core, and after the core build according to opposing team.
If you have the core and just want to go glass cannon from there, build 3 or 3 for dmg and lifesteal. (I wouldnt reccomend glasscannon unless you are like 10/0/x)
Theres another thing I hate about playing ranked games, its when your team mates blame you for their deaths for not calling MIA.
If your laning top PLEASE BUY A WARD FOR YOUR LANE!!! put it in the bush in the river or just a tad bit further near dragon!
I cant stress this enough! Wards are your friend! Please buy them.
Ill add video soon, But basically your W will help you farm.
Also using Shadow assault to farm is ok, but make sure you are not about to get ganked and make sure you account for 4 other enemies on your minimap if you decide to farm with R. It has a relatively short cooldown about 1 min.

Nissan Micra news - Nissan in the pink - 2006
Why, oh why, oh why…you get the drift, but why has Nissan decided to launch a limited edition Micra painted pink?
Did they not see the disaster that was the pink Ford StreetKa? Apparently not. Instead, Nissan is launching the imaginatively titled Micra C+C PINK and selling it for £14,495.
However, if you wait a week, that price should come down significantly, even if there are only a hundred being built.
Nonetheless, it could never be cheap enough for us.

Audiences Go Bananas over Apes!
Twentieth Century Fox's latest re-boot of The Planet of the Apes franchise is neither a sequel nor a prequel but it does have the built in brand recognition from the original series of films spawned from the 1968 sci-fi classic starring Charlton Heston. Rise of the Planet of the Apes featuring James Franco is a fresh interpretation of the original series of films and has no connection to Fox's 2001 Planet of the Apes re-boot which starred Mark Wahlberg. There was no monkeying around with these apes as they climbed to the top of the chart with a much bigger-than-expected $54 million this weekend. The film was also a hit internationally earning $23.4 million in just 25 markets and took first place in 9 of 11 markets (where rankings are available). The film expands in 15 new markets next weekend.
Sony Pictures Animation's The Smurfs in 3-D nearly made some cantankerous cowboys very blue last weekend when they rustled up an unexpected tie for first place with Cowboys & Aliens. When the dust settled the little blue dudes landed in a close second place finish for the weekend, but led the midweek box office race and now have a higher North American gross than their high profile competitor. A very strong 41% second weekend hold gives the film $21 million for Friday through Sunday and a domestic gross of over $75 million. In just 10 days the film has generated $128.9 million worldwide with $52.7 million from the overseas markets.
The Universal/DreamWorks co-production of Cowboys & Aliens took the number one spot last weekend after a fierce battle against the tenacious Smurfs, but landed in third place with $15.7 million in this, its second weekend. Directed by Jon Favreau and boasting an impressive talent roster both in front of and behind the camera, the film will finish the weekend with around $67 million.
The sixth R-rated comedy to hit theaters this summer and the second starring the ubiquitous Jason Bateman, Universal's The Change-Up co-starring Ryan Reynolds puts a new spin on an old twist with a debut gross of $13.5 million. From Freaky Friday to 17 Again and countless films in between, this time the formula gets the R-rated treatment and The Change-Up capitalized on solid date crowd appeal this weekend.
Fifth place played host to three potential contenders with Paramount's Captain America: The First Avenger coming out on top with $13 million. Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 and PG-13 rated comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love. were close behind with $12.2 million and $12.1 million respectively.
Good news for the industry with a solid month of up-trending box office that puts the summer-to-date revenue advantage 4.39% ahead of last year and attendance up by just over 2%.
Specialized film spotlight: After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, the critical favorite Bellflower (Dist. by Oscilloscope Films) had its theatrical debut this weekend on 2 screens and performed well with a solid $28,000 for the weekend (including many sold-out shows). The film was also a hit at SXSW back in March and has gotten rave reviews from every major news outlet with each praising its innovative storytelling, unique visual style and terrific performances from the up and coming cast. Be sure to check out Bellflower directed by Evan Glodell as it expands to over 500 theaters through August and into September. I spoke with one of the producers and stars of the film Vincent Grashaw this morning and he seemed thrilled with the results and is looking forward to the expanded release of the film in the coming weeks.
Weekend Box-Office
Top Movies – For Weekend of August 5, 2011 (estimates)
Movie Weekend Gross Total to Date
1 Rise of the Planet of the Apes (PG13) $54.0M $54.0M
2 The Smurfs (PG) $21.0M $76.2M
3 Cowboys & Aliens (NR) $15.7M $67.4M
4 The Change-Up (R) $13.5M $13.5M
5 Captain America: The First Avenger (PG-13) $13.0M $143.2M

OAKLAND — More than 20 transit agencies around the Bay Area will get nearly $500 million to update their equipment and services.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission on Wednesday allocated $494 million to help bus, train and ferry agencies replace or update their vehicles, infrastructure and equipment.
The commitment includes $447 million in federal transportation funds, supplemented by $47 million from the Bay Area's seven state-owned toll bridges.
Congressional action on transportation funding enabled the regional allocation, the agency said.
Among the biggest investments are roughly $50 million for BART's rail car replacement program; $17 million to update deteriorating segments of the BART railway; $36 million for AC Transit to buy 10 double-deck buses and replace more than 30 of its older 40- and 60-foot buses; and nearly $17 million to replace two aging San Francisco Bay Ferry vessels.
Other agencies acquiring new vehicles in the coming months include the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, SamTrans, Marin Transit, WestCAT and the Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority.

text: Thank You! From Nemo x Posted on: May 28, 2016 Nemo has now had his operation and is recovering well. He is receiving masses of love and care in his new home. The day after the op, his new mum came to take him home and he was already very perky and bouncing around to see her! His wound is now healing nicely and he is nearly off his medication finally! What a brave boy! "All going well this end, he's such an amazing boy! He continues to bless us with his wonderful determination and zest for life!!" You may all recognise Nemo from our social media and website, he has been out on foster for a few weeks and is now reserved for his forever home! Sadly when Nemo came to us, he had an existing injury to his front left paw. We think this is probably the reason why he was abandoned. After visits to the vet and an x-ray, we discovered that his elbow had a serious fracture but because it had been left untreated, the bones had fused back together all wrong. The injury had clearly happened a long time ago and his poor paw has not even grown properly- you can see that it is smaller and skinnier, with barely any muscle. He does manage and sometimes when he is playing and skipping around, he seems to forget any pain that may be there! But afterwards, he becomes so stiff and sore, he can barely put the foot down and he wobbles all over the place. After much deliberation and talks with the vet, we have decided that the best option for him is to have the leg removed. This is a costly operation with a fair amount of after-care but we want the best for Nemo and will be going ahead with the operation soon. Click here to help us help Nemo! If you would like to support Nemo, please donate! You can donate by text or online! Please just add a note saying 'FOR NEMO' so we know your special donation is for him!

SALT LAKE CITY — Police are seeking a man in connection with a series of recent bank robberies throughout Salt Lake and Davis counties.
Salt Lake City police say Michael Bacon, 45, is linked to at least five robberies in February:

Police say the two robberies Feb. 24 were committed within 45 minutes of each other. The suspect changed clothes between the first and second robbery but both times handed a teller a note demanding money. The suspect in those robberies also had a goatee, but some witnesses told police it looked fake.3 comments on this story
Bacon is believed to be traveling with his ex-wife, according to Salt Lake City police. His last known residence was a Salt Lake homeless shelter, according to police.
Bacon is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs about 200 pounds and is described as having a tanned, weathered face, a large nose and blue eyes. He's also balding, police said.

All children and adults as well lookforward to it.
A month before the Christmas madness starts. People are running from shop to shop, trying to get the best presents for their family and friends.CHRISTMAS IN CZECH REPUBLIC
Each of four Sundays in Advent the shops are open till 3pm so that the people could buy their Christmas presents.
In larger towns there is a Christmas Market in the main square.
Christmas Market in Přerov
In every household people can´t imagine the Christmas without Christmas cakes. And all the hosewives want to have the best cakes and a special sweet plaited loaf called "vanocka".
Those, who don´t have time to bake their own cakes, can have it baked for example in our school
This is the most important day of the whole Christmas holidays. All the members of the family have their duties.
Father locks himself in the living room and he is decorating the Christmas tree and drinking the homemade egg liquor.
Mother is in the kitchen from the very morning, She is preparing the festive dinner and in the afternoon she is getting more and more nervous because she is not in time.
There are lots of fairy tales for the kids on TV, but they keep watching one or two of them.
Then they start to be annoying because they can´t wait till the Jesus comes to bring them the presents.
In the evening, at about 5 or 6pm, "all is calm, all is bright". All are sitting at the table, smiling wide and having the dinner.
It is usually fish soup and then fried carp with potato salad. Some people are afraid of going to the hospital because of the fish bone in the throat and that´s why they have chicken or turkey instead of the carp.
After the dinner the family goes to the Christmas tree, they sing carols and then they unwrap the presents.
In our country we believe that the presents are brought by Baby Jesus.
People usually have the small Bethlehem in their homes as a Christmas decoration.
The figures are made of paper, wood or plasteor or many other materials. In churches you can see big Bethlehems and in the square there are so called live pictures of Nativity.
People cut the apples in half.
If they see the star inside, that means that they will be healthy all the next year.
The cross inside means the death.
Young girls pick the cherry tree sprigs on the day of St. Barbara (December 4).
They put them in the vase and if the sprig come into blossom till Christmas, the girl will get married next year.
People put small candles into the nutshels and let them sail in the washbasin.
Whose boat sails further, that goes further from home in the future.
Young girls throw the shoe over their shoulder.
If the forepart shows to the door, the girl will get married and move from home
People believe that they will see the golden pig if they don´t eat for all the day on 24 December.
(After such a long starving they can see anything)
We call it Silvestr. It should be the funniest day of the year.
There are lots of comedies and funny sketches on TV.
People usually spend Christmas with the family, but on Silvestr they often go to the mountains and spend their time with friends.
At midnight they open the bottle of champagne and drink to each other´s health.
They kiss, hug and wish all the best, health, luck and happiness to all the New Year.
People make New Years resolutions on the last day of year. Those usually are:
(But they forget them the next day)

February 16, 2010
Gov. Jennifer Granholm wants to end some health benefits for state employees who retire after Sept. 30. The Michigan House has voted to eliminate retiree health benefits for lawmakers who take office starting in 2011. Lawmakers in Lansing are engaged in a huge evasion, one that leaves taxpayers on the hook for billions to pay benefits they likely can't claim for themselves, says the Lansing State Journal.
It's time to change that. It's time for the state to stop subsidizing health benefits for former workers who are still of working age, says the Journal:
- A traditional government retirement package has two parts: a pension and "other benefits" -- the most expensive of which is health care.
- A 2007 Pew Center on the States' report put Michigan's obligation at $8 billion; that's money Michigan is committed to spending, but does not have.
If policies don't change, taxpayers will have to cough it up in future years, though, says the Journal:
- Twenty years ago, it was common for large private firms (20 employees or more) to offer post-retirement benefits beyond a pension.
- Since then, the Kaiser Family Foundation reports, there's been a huge drop in the practice; fewer than a third of large firms now offers this kind of aid to former workers.
- In the private sector at least, the clear trend is that if people under age 65 want subsidized health insurance, they should expect to be full-time employees.
One question that arises on retirement benefits is, "Aren't these benefits owed?"
Well, pension benefits are contractual obligations. The state can't suddenly say it won't pay pensions. (Nor does it have to since, unlike on health, the state's pre-funded pension account is in good shape.) Health benefits are another matter, says the Journal.
State Rep. Mark Meadows (D-East Lansing), has worked on retirement issues in the Legislature and served in the Attorney General's Office before that. He sees no constitutional barrier to changes to retiree health benefits.
Of course there are huge political barriers, so it's easier to make cuts to the future, even if such an approach leaves Michigan in a multi-billion-dollar hole.

Dreaming Lhasa Trailer (2007)
13 April 2007 Drama, Romance, Foreign 90 mins
Karma, a Tibetan filmmaker from New York, goes to Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama's exile headquarters in northern India, to make a documentary about former political prisoners who have escaped from Tibet. She wants to reconnect with her roots but is also escaping a deteriorating relationship back home.One of Karma's interviewees is Dhondup, an enigmatic ex-monk who has just escaped from Tibet. He confides in her that his real reason for coming to India is to fulfill his dying mother's last wish, to deliver a charm box to a long-missing resistance fighter. Karma finds herself unwittingly falling in love with Dhondup even as she is sucked into the passion of his quest, which becomes a journey into Tibet's fractured past and a voyage of self-discovery

Carlos Gonzalez was removed from Wednesday night's Colorado Rockies versus Los Angeles Dodgers game after being hit on the hand by a pitch from Clayton Kershaw.
We are uncertain at this time the extent of the injury but CarGo was immediately removed.
Oddly, Gonzalez was charged with a strike on the check swing, which really seemed harsh based on the replays.
Stephen Cardullo came in to pinch-hit for Gonzalez when he likely should have been pinch-running.
We will have more as details emerge and if there need to be any roster moves. If a transaction does need to be made, it's likely we will see Raimel Tapia rejoin the team for their series against the San Francisco Giants starting on Friday.

As an employee of any type of company, it's easy to become overly-focused on getting your work done, because there are bills to pay, but you shouldn't completely enter robotic mode. At the end of the day, no matter how much work you have to do, you're not a machine. You're a human, and you need to maintain yourself as well as your career.
You might find you work better if you start paying a little more attention to your health and safety within the workplace. This isn't about the policies your company has already enforced, as, if you're working in a warehouse or a site with technical machinery, you should already know how to use such equipment safely. This is about general health and safety. No matter your industry, there are certain universal tips that every employee in every kind of role should take on board if they want to be healthier, safer and more relaxed in their office space.
Good posture is key.
This is something the majority of us have heard about, but which few of us ever take on board. Yes, it's a pain (literally), but remembering to maintain good posture in an office-based job role is something which can have numerous health benefits if remembered, or health negatives if forgotten.
The key for desk-workers is to keep your shoulders in line with your hips in order to avoid back problems. Remember to also never bend at the waist to pick up items; always bend at the knees. Whilst obviously being bad for your back, such aches and pains will also be distracting you from your work and likely making you function more slowly throughout the day. So, if you like to slip into robot mode and work like a machine, you should think about keeping your body running like a machine. Ergonomic chairs are also a great way to help you keep your posture in good shape, if you don't want to be worrying about it all day.
Know your rights.
No matter how health and safety conscious you are around the workplace, there's always a chance you might have an accident that wasn't your fault. The state protects you in such circumstances. You're not left in the dark, so you shouldn't take your employer's policy as "law". You have the right to sue, no matter how much the company for which you work convinces you that you were to blame. You know whether you were or were not the cause of the incident. This is about your safety, more than anything, and you'll have medical bills to cover. If you need consultation for your personal injury case, there are experts out there who can help you with legal defence.
There are ways to squeeze exercise into your day.
Of course, if you work at a desk for 8 hours a day, you're already leading quite a sedentary lifestyle throughout the week. You're spending over a quarter of your time sitting down. It's important to maintain a healthy exercise routine, especially whilst at work. When you get home, somewhere around 6 o'clock in the evening, you likely have little energy to exercise, or it's too dark to go for a jog. Keep yourself active throughout the day; walk instead of taking the lift or go for a jog in your lunch break.

Building and maintaining a strong transportation infrastructure is vital to the economic development of Kansas. As a Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have fought for legislation that will help Kansans by providing better highways and increased job opportunities, while providing economic opportunities for the state.
September 11 illustrated the need for America to increase the security in our airports and harbors. My position on the Transportation Committee allows me to take an active role in protecting our skies and securing our homeland. I have worked hard to balance the need to improve security while making sure that all Americans can still freely travel in a timely manner and that all goods can flow in and out of our ports without unwarranted delay.
Kansas ranks fourth in the nation in total highway miles with over 134,500 miles of public roads and highways. In 2005, I helped pass legislation that would provide $383 million per year to Kansas to help build and maintain highways, roads, and bridges. This money will create and sustain thousand of jobs in Kansas while allowing the transport of our manufactured goods and agriculture commodities in a more timely and cost-effective system.
Whether it's driving to school or hauling grain, Kansans rely upon the safety and efficiency of our state's transportation system. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to find the resources to meet the needs of Kansas's infrastructure.
For the 110th Congress, I will serve on the Subcommittee on Aviation and the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials.

It is no secret that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan does not like Donald Trump. The Republican presidential nominee's ridiculously big mouth, bigotry, racism and everythingphobia is making Ryan's life extremely uncomfortable. Instead of quietly hiding his hate like the rest of the GOP, Trump puts it on full display for the entire world to see and establishment Republicans are left trying to clean up his mess and unruffle feathers.
In fact, Trump is so out-of-control that most of the high-ranking Republicans cringe every time they are asked a question about his latest antics — Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch MCConnell have even refused to answer questions about him in the past. On Tuesday, however, Ryan was unable to dodge questions about his candidate in a radio interview with Charlie Sykes.
The conservative radio host asked the speaker about Trump's anti-Semitic Hillary Clinton tweet over the weekend and Ryan responded:
Look, anti-Semitic images have no place in a presidential campaign. Candidates should know that. The tweet has been deleted. I don't know what flunky put this up there. They obviously have to fix that. We have to get back to the issues that matter to the public. I was doing the Kenosha parade, the Marine parade, grilling brats with volunteers and families, if I had to stop everything and comment to a ridiculous tweet sent out by this campaign I would have no time for anything else.
Sykes went on to remind Ryan that this was a tweet put out by a candidate that he supports and Ryan, obviously annoyed that he was being tied to Trump said," I know, you have reminded me this." The radio host went on to ask if anyone in the GOP has called the nominee and told him to stop posting offensive things all over social media. Ryan answered, saying:
Yeah, I really believe he needs to clean up the way his new media works. Most importantly, as you know, one of the few times I spoke out against him during the primary very forcefully was in this area. When he failed to disavow supremacists, white supremacists. So look, I think this is really really clear, the point is, I think he needs to clean this up. My understanding this was done by staff not by he himself. More importantly they got to clean this thing up.
It's easy to blame Trump's tweets on his staff, but I think we all know that is complete and utter bullshit. Donald Trump would not allow other people to send out tweets as him, he thinks he can do it all by himself because he "has a very good brain." He has a very long history of posting vile nonsense on Twitter and even if someone else did it, he is ultimately responsible for the posts.
The great thing about Donald Trump is that long after he is gone, the stench of this campaign will be left on all of the members of the Republican party who endorsed him and that is great news for us in the Democratic party.

A Brief History of the Real, or, Laruelle's Niche: Ontological Reification
[Note: After actually reading Laruelle, I disavow everything written in this post. It completely misses Laruelle's point, and I'm only leaving this post up to let it serve as a bad example.]
The responses by An Und Für Sich to Graham Harman's review of Laruelle have reminded me of an old argument I had against his 'Non-Philosophy'. My argument centres around a single aspect of Non-Philosophy―namely, the notion of 'The One'―largely because my exposure to Laruelle has been limited to Anthony Paul Smith's "Introduction to Non-Philosophy" (notes) and Alexander Galloway's "François Laruelle, or The Secret." Nevertheless, I feel that it adequately situates Laruelle within the tradition of Continental philosophy; to make it more accessible, however, I will preface it with in-depth background information.
