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.
Threats to Quinn with this build
|This guy is too easy to counter with Quinn. His engage is too desperate and his cooldowns will cripple him when you waste his combo by vaulting him when he engages you or vaulting his ADC when your ADC is stunned. You can just waste his mana by proc-ing Harrier every now and then on him or his ADC. He can kick you away when you are in bird-form but that's what vault is for.
|Although not a popular support, it is still being done. But if they even attempt to out-pocket-pick you, they are so wrong, Kayle has no way to beat you because you can blind her and make her waste her time trying to fan you with her sword. She has no way of engaging that a simple vault cannot get away from. Due to your relative short cooldowns, accidentally blowing some of your spells on anyone she uses her ulti on wont be too much of a waste.
|Everything about Quinn can counter the Twitch meta. If he attempts to reposition and/or find a bend of fog of war to hide, you can cast your W to keep an eye on him even if it cannot reveal. Diving at him while he attempts to use Ratatatat can cause him to misfire his ultimate or you can blind him to waste his time.
|Some may be thinking that this is expected, some may claim this is so wrong due to her shred potential. But just as many before said an ADC Quinn can counter Vayne, so can the support Quinn. Unlike Kogmaw, her shred is dependent on how many attacks she can throw out while kiting. With you distracting her, blinding, vaulting her, slows, and keeping sight on her attempts to kite. She will have an extremely hard time free-hitting your team.
Hello to All! I am Situpattenggang. No, the name is not Arabian, Indian, Filipino, Chinese, or Vietnamese. It's Indonesian. I am a diamond tier support player from the Garena-PH server. I have tried all the lanes in the length of time I have played League of Legends but I only recently fell in love with the support role again. I'm experienced in playing as a support since Season 1 of LOL and the days of HON, DOTA, and other MOBAs. It's by far the easiest role and the most rewarding. I prefer not to create guides for conventional supports or those in the current meta. That's why we have Lemmonation and Aphromoo, or you can just watch Mata, Lustboy, Madlife, etc. at work on stream or YouTube. Yes, I am an avid fan of the professional scene and I have experience in all of the supports (including Taric, Soraka, Kayle).
"Support is easy!" - Aphromoo
Are You Crazy?! (Report Situ for Trolling and Assisting the Enemy Team)
No, I'm not crazy. Quinn is by far a very underrated hero because she fell out of the ADC meta a long time ago (if she was even there to begin with). She can be taken to other lanes and has been known to tank, then do some analysis. Check the skills, except for the ultimate, what can she offer as a support? She seems viable in many roles but can she support? Let's move on.
Pros / Cons
-Can deny enemy ADC's CS using Blinding Assault
-A simple solution to the face-check dilemma absolutely FOR FREE
-Low range ADC? Medium range support with a safe/low-cost lane poke
-Can cancel enemy dashes and channeling abilities using Vault
-Insane mobility, roam, peel, kite, execute, and chase
-Perfect in the pick-comp (Will elaborate further later on)
-Surprise factor (Even more than a pocket pick)
-Quite squishy in the early game
-Vault harassment can be VERY dangerous (Life is about taking risks)
-No sustains, no heals, no shields, no buffs, no cleanse mechanic
-Easy to overestimate the damage output
-No known way to stop direct burst from skill based assassins
In the Philippines, we have venues called Internet Cafes or "Comp Shops". I know I should have taken pictures of the reactions of the opponents who challenged us to a friendly custom game when I picked Quinn to support my Vayne ADC. Kids were like "He's gonna do it... he's lost it". Fulfilling. Biggest achievement S4. :)
Pretty straight forward as if you're playing a tanky Sona or a Braum, except you need more mana regen. Armor and magic resistance for general survivability in lane and small fights, coupled with some health just for the off chance you get lucky in an ignite fight.
Also very straight forward. Imagine you are playing a physical damage ranged support. Same, you need all the gold generating masteries especially the pickpocket. Since Quinn's aura items are key to her overall utility, accumulating as much non-CS gold as you possibly can would greatly speed up the snowball. When Harrier is applied on any of the champs, you can take advantage by hitting them and walking away with your additional 3 gold and bonus movement speed. Again, you can shake it up because Quinn is more versatile than most players think.
There are only three ways to go about this.
1. EXHAUST and FLASH (For crippling the damage dealers in small fights, my fave)
2. IGNITE and FLASH (For murdering the healer support)
3. HEAL and FLASH (For ADC's who like barrier)
Any other ideas?
Skill Sequence
By now, you may be convinced but you probably think Heightened Senses can offer more utility in the Early-Mid game where objectives are being fought for right? I beg to differ. Max it last because your play making will come from the blind and the Vault. The reason is because you have CDR items to help cut the cooldown of your reveal and you only need to do it every now and then due to your wards and scanner sweep. At around 30% CDR, the cooldown is short enough such that Heightened Senses can be used way more times than a scrying orb. Plus, you can save 1 ward which people usually put in the middle of the lane, by using the W whenever it coolsdown while the team fight dancing begins. At least, you have 1 more ward to place on the sides to protect against assassins or a sidewinding Wukong/Malphite ready to set up a wombo.
Team Work (Poke-Pick Comp)
More or less, you are already assuming that there is a lot of disengaging involved along with poking, warding, and chasing. Quinn is very strong in providing vision for the team while offering a mediocre but oddly useful peel. Vault and blind seems to be Quinn's strongest assets and should be used to stop enemies from getting close to the carries. I have discovered that with enough CDR, the cooldown of your ultimate will be close to 40 seconds allowing you to traverse the map, lay wards and scout efficiently (without the need for a Boots of Mobility) Moreover, once the poke comp has succeeded and 2 or more enemy champions have either been separated or forced to recall, you can use the ultimate to set up a very nasty pick on one of them. Vaulting while in bird-form will cause you to leap onto an enemy slowing him heavily and forcing him into a panicked state allowing for teammates to catch up, follow up with some damage, and kill the escapee with or without the second active of Tag Team. Note: This is where the Talisman, Zekes, and Captain augment comes in.
Team Work (Clash-Comp)
With all your auras and tankiness, there is no reason for you not to dive in with your primary engager. With a leap in like Jarvan's, you can easily follow up with some damage and help your tanks distract the enemy such that your ADC and mage will be free to do damage in the most efficient way they see fit. Furthermore, if your primary engager fails in reaching the ADC, you will most likely be able to catch him out because of Tag Team's movement speed bonus and the range of leap. While you can probably not do enough damage to scare away or kill the ADC, you can force him to panic and kite the wrong way, probably causing his support to blow CC's on you. At this rate, all you can do is keep the clash in sights of your team and continuously pester each member of the enemy team with your blind and vault. Re-engaging to protect the ADC is no problem too since Tag Team has a very long duration and vault has a very short cooldown. You can immediately jump back to a not-so-tanky fighter pursuing your ADC and blind him then block his way by slowing him down, knocking him back, blinding him, and just standing in between him and your ADC.Note: This also is where the Talisman, Zekes, and Captain augment comes in.
At times, to put it simply, you have to FEED TO WIN. Thanks Darien, we will always remember you.
Unique Tricks
Certain supports need the Homeguard boot augment in order to get around and place wards and only very few can fully utilize the Captain augment. First of all, she actually has a decent waveclear and a monster-lane creating mechanic using Blinding Assault. The Captain augment increases the movement speed of nearby minions. Next, with masteries, passives from Talisman, ultimate, and mercury treads, you are basically flying at around 480-520 movement speed on average and will certainly outrun your allies thus applying the 10% movement speed increase to your allies who wish to continue the chase. Finally, though I only recently discovered the bird-form ward-scout trick when 2 of my allies died in a fight and I was forced to scout the area of Baron, the trick made me realize how short Tag Team's cooldown when running full support items. If you have the luxury of time to wait for your cooldowns, you can periodically use Tag Team to intercept escaping enemies, scout for pink wards, or to simply get away and re-engage from another angle (Probably using the Tag Team, Flash, Vault, Auto, Blind, Auto, Arrow Shower for a very INTENSE surprise)

I am still a fan of Rex as well. I could care less what Fatscesa thinks about him.
Watching his presser now. Media trying for him to put blame on some one. He points it all on him self.
On rhodes blown coverage. He said one was supposed to be open lane and the other close. Both leonard and rhodes were open. The media asked who was supposed to be closed. He said he would not go there. I like that he did not say who it was. Let him scold them behind closed doors and notwith the media.
On carroll. He said cole earned the job. and cummings was doing very good on scout team. They asked why carroll, since he was a special team ace. He said go ask him. So something happened with him ryan does not want to say.
also liked that he said they need to get a mirror to look at them selves.
I don't know how can any one be anti-ryan. He will be a great coach.
I am still a fan of Rex as well. I could care less what Fatscesa thinks about him.
No one. My concern is if we give this guy an IQ test, he would be below the bell curve by about 50 points. Yes, he is entertaining. Give me less entertainment and a few more wins in the last 3 minutes with the mouths on this team. Until they put it on the field and tear our hearts out in the last minutes of the game, coach the team.Coach the defense in order that they shut it down in the 4th quarter. And while you are at it, dont ask me to scream like a maniac when our defense is sitting there at 3rd and 1 and then tell me the player couldnt hear the other player to tell him about coverage. What do you do at practice and watching game film? Texting you pictures to Ebony? Obviously not paying attention to the details.

Chicago, Illinois (PressExposure) March 21, 2013 -- BestMassage is now the place to shop for a wide variety of high-quality Thai massage tools. Back in February, BestMassage added eight new Thai massage tools to its inventory: the Facial Roller, the Four-Point Massage Tool, the Easy-Reach Self-Massage Tool, the Hand Reflexology and Foot Stick Combination Tool, the Healing Thumb Massage Tool, the Star Hand Tool, and the Back Scratcher. These individual massage tools currently range from $6.90 to $9.60 in price.
All of these massage tools are made in Thailand and are crafted from 100% rosewood. Most are designed for reflexology, the application of pressure to various points on the hands and feet that are thought to heal corresponding organs in the body. The Four-Point Massage Tool, the Hand Reflexology and Foot Stick Combination Tool, and the Star Hand Tool all have various points and protrusions that are intended to come in contact with reflexology points on the hands and feet. Massage therapists can use these tools on their clients, or consumers can use these tools on themselves.
Other tools have different or additional uses aside from reflexology. The Facial Roller massages the delicate muscles of the face with two small rollers, the Healing Thumb Massage Tool is used for muscle stripping and trigger point therapy; the Easy-Reach Self-Massage Tool, which is hook shaped, can be used by consumers to reach painful or tense spots on their backs; and the Back Scratcher which is designed to reach areas on the back or anywhere on the body.
According to Amona Buechler, owner of BestMassage, adding the Thai massage tools to BestMassage's stock made sense. "We wanted to offer high-quality tools that were useful for the traditional Thai massage therapist, the experienced bodyworker, or for those who wanted to use these tools on themselves. We realize that Thai massage is becoming increasingly popular and we want to be able to provide a wide variety of Thai massage tools for our customers to choose from."
BestMassage has also added three Thai massage tool package deals to its website. The Professional Thai Massage Tool Package is ideal for traditional Thai massage therapists. It retails for $22 which saves customers $6.60. The Self-Massage Thai Tool Package, which retails for $37 with a $7.50 savings, is meant for home users to use on themselves. And the Ultimate Thai Massage Tool Package features all eight of the new Thai massage tools plus the Thai Massage Stick which BestMassage debuted last year. This package is currently $50 which means a $16.10 savings for the customer.
The Thai massage tools and Thai massage tool packages are available at BestMassage.com under the Massage Tool category.

Two investors who have made a string of recent Dallas property buys have purchased a high profile local shopping center.
Lionstone Group of Houston working with Dallas' PegasusAblon have bought the Galleria North shopping center located on Alpha Road just east of the Dallas North Tollway.
The 7-acre shopping center is just across the street from the Galleria Dallas shopping mall.
The retail center is fully leased to tenants including The Container Store, Z Gallerie, Gary Riggs Home and World Market.
The new owners plan to hold the property long-term while keeping an eye out for future redevelopment opportunities.
"It's got a great list of tenants," said Michael Ablon, principal of PegasusAblon. "And there are opportunities to add value."
The property was sold by a company affiliated with Heitman Financial. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
"With Galleria Dallas and the strong surrounding submarket dynamics," said Lionstone Chief Investment Officer Glenn Lowenstein, "we believe this extremely well-located retail center hasn't yet reached its full potential."
Adam Howells and Kevin Catalani of United Commercial Realty brokered the sale.
It's the second recent retail purchase for Lionstone and PegasusAblon.
The investors recently bought a 170,000 shopping center at Preston Road and Park Boulevard in Plano.
And Lionstone and PegasusAblon have purchased several buildings in the Preston Center district in North Dallas.

The Yellow Ribbon Program offers several tips to make sure you have the support and help you need to get through the toughest things the military has to offer.
1. Find a military family readiness/support group in your area.
This can come in many different forms - through church, through the National Guard base or Armory's family programs office, or just something you create on your own. Contact larger organizations like National Military Family Association or Blue Star Families and let them know you are there. Sometimes its a matter of knowing a group of people are there. With so many military families spread out over this country, and many not near larger installations, there is a whole group of people not being reached.
If you haven't already registered with JSS (Joint Support Services), do it! You can search for all types of benefits and assistance that is in your area, including the Yellow Ribbon Program. They have contact information and ways for you to connect with people if you can't find help in your area. National Military Family Association Support Group Link
2. Participate in activities and groups in your unit or community.
Once you find that support you have to get out there!! Attending the activities that are often planned for military families—including scrapbooking nights, ice cream socials, military kids nights and holiday dinners—can help you feel more like a part of the local community, especially when you're missing your Service member. Playgroups and military spouse groups provide additional opportunities to meet people in a similar situation and exchange advice and information.
3. Get involved with OperationMilitary Kids (OMK).
Every parent knows that deployment can be stressful for children. OMK aims to help military kids cope with deployment by bringing them together for fun activities with other kids who understand. Sign your kids up for a variety of social, educational and recreational programs. Also, Our Military Kids offers scholarships for military children, whose parent is deployed, to help pay for those special activities. You can find out more information about Our Military Kids here.
4. Stay in touch through military publications and websites.
Your loved one's unit, post or base newspaper is a vital source of information about workshops and programs offered to spouses and families. Some units will share news and announcements through Facebook and Twitter so you can stay up-to-date on upcoming events or opportunities to meet with other families.
5. Keep connected after deployment through a Virtual Family Readiness Group (VFRG).
Once your loved one is deployed, you can maintain these new connections through a Virtual Family Readiness Group, a controlled-access web system that links Service members to their families and units. The VFRG provides a secure means for your Service member to communicate with family members far from home, and the unit commander posts updates so that you have access to the latest information. Each Service has different types of VFRGs, so be sure to contact your unit or command Family Programs staff for details.

California-based electric luxury automaker Tesla Motors is among the many companies that have embraced the practice of hiding Easter Eggs inside their models.
This is why we weren't surprised when the resident Tesla PR – CEO and co-founder Elon Musk – recently unveiled the latest one – a "psychedelic cowbell road." This one is not overly evident and in order to bring it forth the drivers will need to have the Autopilot system. The owner will have to engage it by pulling the cruise control stalk towards them – the autopilot will activate and a blue icon will appear illuminated. Then the driver needs to pull back on the cruise control stalk four times rapidly. If the input is successful, the regular grey road representation in the dashboard will morph into a psychedelic cowbell road that is reminding us geeks of the "Rainbow Road" map in Mario Kart 64.
You may find this one pretty futile, but we should remember that previous ones were just as unhelpful and only serve as gimmicks for the owners – though the fun factor is something we can't negate. Previous Easter Eggs in Tesla models included for example the possibility to turn the Model S into the Lotus submarine from The Spy Who Loved Me or showing a Star Trek-style warp speed montage on the models fitted with the Ludicrous speed mode.

Campaigners Ask Us To Say NOPE To Palm Oil Factory On Portland
7:43am 29th May 2013
A group opposed to the burning of palm oil at Portland Port to create electricity are calling on Weymouth and Portland Borough Council to look more closely at plans by W4B.
Pressure group NOPE, 'NO Oil Palm Energy', who have the support of the Green Party on the issue, say the company's position has changed since the original application.
They say by enhancing their palm oil burning capacity by burning biodiesel culled from waste tyres goes against the original planning application and want the planning committee to look again at the issue.
NOPE spokesman Joe Borez says W4B can't have it both ways without a full examination of the facts.
The consultation period ends today. (29th May)

"This is my favorite Osso Buco. It seems like a lot of work, but it's well worth the effort. The classic garnish for osso buco is gremolata which is a mix of grated lemon zest, parsley and garlic. This recipe is in The Italian Collection cookbook from The Best of Food & Wine."
Osso Buco With Gremolata
2 recipe photos
READY IN:2hrs 15mins
Ingredients Nutrition

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium celery rib, coarsely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram

- 2 cups dry white wine or 2 cups dry vermouth
- 1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup canned broth
- 3 slices lemon zest, about 2 inches long

- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
- Transfer the veal shanks to a heated platter, remove the strings and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase the heat to high and boil, stirring frequently until the sauce is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over the meat.
- Just before serving , combine the parsley, garlic and lemon zest to make the gremolata. Sprinkle over the top of the Osso Buco.

Overcoming a breakup within a relationship does not happen over night! Time has to travel in order for a heart to heal. The healing process contains time. And time sometimes is all we have. First you need to find inner peace and understand that you make yourself happy. No one can foster happiness for you but you. I went through a divorce and 3 kids after 10 years and there was many monsters in my past that still haunt me and many lies placed by these monsters that dominate the mind.
You have to see beyond the past and let go what ever is harboring within to start healing. I know you may think this is off the subject but it all factors in somehow. The drinking partying, and all that other fun stuff numbs the truth for a little itty bitty while but when you are all alone again then what happens sadness begind to fill the mind. Keep yourself active do things that make you happy! I hope this helped some what! And I hope you feel a little better after reading this
all smiles :)

I wish there were a simple, get rid of these feelings fast solution, but, there isn't. The first thing is to acknowledge that you are in pain, that you are going through a break up, and that you need time to heal. Many people say "time heals all wounds", but I believe it's not the "time" itself, but what you do with the time. Take time to really look into the relationship and learn from it. Why didn't it work? Why did it work for as long as it did? Could I have done something different or could he have? What's most important to remember, is that you are not trying to "overcome" or get over your relationship. You are simply closing one door and opening another. Welcome your future and all the possibilities it holds. Do what YOU need to do to feel better. I was married for over 20 years when I got divorced. At first, I was devastated and couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. But, with good friends, lots of reading, crying and writing - I managed to come away with some very valuable insight about relationships. On those days you feel like just being alone to feel sad, then do it! You can't ignore emotions and expect them to go away. Experience it. And then you will find that you can move on. Focus more on yourself, and less on finding another relationship. You have to love YOU before someone else can.

Northern Ireland's police chief said on Sunday that opening talks with armed groups would not amount to a betrayal, despite recent bomb attacks that have targeted members of the police and army.
Chief Constable Matt Baggott said dissident republicans, who are seeking to derail the British province's peace process and have been blamed for the attacks, had to be confronted to bring an end to the violence.
"History would say there has never been a security solution to terrorism... ultimately there has to be persuasion and dialogue," the head of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) told Irish national broadcaster RTE.
Asked about politicians entering talks with the dissidents who had targeted his officers, he responded: "I don't think it's a betrayal.
"I think there would be conditions attached to that and that is the way of all dialogue in the past."
"We do need to confront some of these groups on why they think they have a mandate to do this," Baggott added, saying the province's leaders and the vast majority of its inhabitants opposed the violence.
His comments came after the province's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said on Thursday that Britain and Ireland had held secret talks with armed groups linked to recent unrest.
The British and Irish governments both dismissed the claim.
The weekend was marked by fresh violence in Northern Ireland during which police came under attack.
A bomb blast on Saturday in Lurgan, County Armagh, left three children -- a two-year-old and two 12-year-olds -- with minor injuries. Police have said the bomb, which was hidden in a bin, was planted to injure or kill its officers.
After the blast, rioters targeted police officers with petrol bombs and other missiles. No one was injured, said the PSNI.
Republican groups have been blamed for a series of car bombings or attempted car bombings which targeted an army major, a policewoman and a civilian police worker in the past fortnight.
Although no one has been killed in the attacks, they have fuelled fears of a return to fatalities.
Northern Ireland's turbulent past -- known as The Troubles -- pitched Catholic republicans, opposed to British rule, against Protestants, who favoured being governed from London. Some 3,500 people were killed.
The violence was largely ended by a 1998 peace deal but sporadic unrest still flares in the province.

Windows 7 64 bit
Switch OS Hard drive
I have a very specific task that I wish to accomplish.
Right now I have one HDD where all my files and folders exsist for my computer. Only one.
I want to expand to two HDD, one for the OS and one for my games, videos and music.
How can transfer the OS files for Win7 to the new HDD?
|My System Specs
|02 Jul 2010
You want to keep Programs installed on the OS drive.
To transfer User files to a (Logical) partition on second HD, follow this tutorial and video:
User Folders - Change Default Location
Data Partition
I would make a separate primary Recovery partition on the second HD to save a Win7 backup image so it can be easily detected to reimage the first HD using the Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD:
Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
System Image Recovery
System Repair Disc - Create
Then backup your User files from second HD to external, or leave a copy of them in a (Logical) storage partition on the first HD. Now you have everything backed up if either HD fails.
Use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to make your logical data partitions.

Be surprised, mesmerized, thrilled and inundated with exotic treats on a Gangtok trip. From being a Buddhist pilgrimage site to an international tourist destination, this city has grown in prominence. On a trip to the verdant and scenic locations in this paradisiacal destination, you will enjoy a variety of activities such as yak safari, river rafting, boating, trekking, monastery tours and mountain biking.
The Teesta River presents an exhilarating white water rafting experience for rafters with varying levels of rafting experience. Considered an ideal river for this sport, this is a high-adrenaline activity with different rapids to choose from. Comprised of the long, medium and short sections, each section has a traverse time of averaging four and a half hours. The Short section route from Melli to the 29th Mile and it lasts for only an hour.
White water rafting is conducted by many adventure management and outdoor sports companies. With rapids ranging from grade I-IV, a rafting experience in the Teesta River is a must on a Gangtok trip.
Located in East Sikkim at an elevation of 3,780m, the Tsomgo Lake is also called 'Changku Lake'. Associated with numerous myths and beliefs, this alluring lake is situated on the Gangtok Nathu La Highway and within the close proximity to the Chinese border.
During winters or summers, the climatic conditions prevailing around this stunning reservoir varies from chilly to moderate. Stunning views of the nearby snow-capped mountains, reflections of the loft clouds on the clear blue water surface and the alluring views of the surroundings make this lake a spectacular sight in Gangtok.
However, due to its close proximity with the Indo-China International Border, the non-Indian nationals might have to take special permissions in order to visit this lake.
This is amongst the unforgettable experiences while on a Gangtok trip. Ride on a massive mammal with furs covering its entire physique, stiff horns and explore the charm of this spiritual city in a calm and pleasant pace.
Riding a Yak has been the favoured forms of transportation for the locals. Yaks have the tenacity and balance to traverse ascents of any difficulty. Some of the best places to go for a Yak safari are on the fringes of the Tsomgo Lake or the Yak trails of the Dzongri area. The best Yak safaris take place in the Chota Valley where you can witness the bewitching beauty of nature. The best time to go on such expeditions is between March and October.
This is amongst romantic treks in the Himalayas where you actually romance the high mountains, valleys and resplendent atmospheric conditions! The ecosystem including the culture of the people here, is a sharp contrast to what you see in the rest of the country.
You are enchanted unceasingly as you walk through the forests bestowed with Rhododendron trees that reverberate divine pristine-ness. Be it walking through the vast Dzongri and Thansing meadows or enjoy beautiful sights of the Samiti Lake, there is a blooming feeling of ecstasy when you are here. All along you are looked upon by the Kanchejunga and Pandim ranges. The trekking sojourn through such an enchanting land is inexplicably surreal and magical to say the least!
Biking on a rugged terrain with all-encompassing scenery in the backdrop is a surreal experience! Gangtok offers some of the most scenic biking trails in the world. On a biking sojourn in this hill city, witness the beauty of the landscape, exquisiteness of the flora and fauna, lush green hills and the quaint villages. Experience and embrace the natural beauty of Gangtok, stop by and click photographs and wave at the locals whose heartwarming smiles make your journey worth!
Ride past cardamom fields and smell the fragrance. Get breathtaking views of the city from the mountain ridges. Refresh yourself with the crystal clear mountain streams. Bike unaffected and free-spirited through deodar and pine forests. Become one with nature and let your abundant energies manifest itself through this exciting outdoor activity on your Gangtok trip.
A helicopter ride in Sikkim is an opportunity to get an aerial view of the Himalayan ranges and amongst the top things to do in Gangtok. It is a time to feast your eyes on the grandeur of this place. Be spellbound by the high-rise mountains, valleys, rivers and forests as you see them from the sky. See the Gangtok town and get a comprehensive eagle's eye view of its landscape. You can also go on helicopter rides over the monasteries and explore their spirituality and devotion.
The best helicopter trip would be the one over the Valley of Flowers. There could be some rules pertaining to photography; as per the Ministry of Defense, photography may not be allowed in some regions. However, despite of such restrictions, a helicopter ride is a must while visiting the salubrious hill city in Sikkim.
Also called the Dharmachakra Centre, the Rumtek Monastery is a renowned place of pilgrimage for Buddhists. Built in the 16th century, this monastery is perched atop a hill from here you get a panoramic view of the city while on your Gangtok trip.
Being the largest monasteries in this region, people visit this place for its surroundings and picturesque views as well. A small path meanders from the monastery and passes through terrace rice fields. You can follow this path to witness sloshing streams and rare plants that make up a unique ecosystem. The monastery is surrounded by mountains, streams and forests. It is perfectly nestled amidst such enchanting beauty to make your visit to this place a memorable one.
The aforementioned are some of the many things to do in Gangtok. Bestowed with numerous avenues for recreation and adventure, this capital city of Sikkim has its own glory and charm. Be it the sprawling meadows to the sunset views from cliffs, everything about Gangtok are cradled by nature's finest attributes.
If you have ever wanted to view the Kanchenjunga mountain range from a close distance, then the Tashi Viewpoint is the ideal spot for you! Located only a few miles away from the main city, it can easily reached. Also, one of the most sought after destinations for the nature photographers and admirers, the mystique appeal of the viewpoint is a must for everyone.
Mostly swarmed during the early hours of the day, the rays of the rising sun creates a magical charm around the point. Illuminating the ambience with the golden sunrays, it offers the panoramic views of the Khanchendzonga and Siniolchu peaks. Circular in shape, it allows four people at a time and a visit to this viewpoint is one of the surreal things to do in Gangtok.

I love the house and the owner is very helpful and responsive. Great location within walking distance to ACL. Great neighborhood too!!!
This house was perfect for us. We had a bachelor party with 8 guys and the house was exactly what we needed. Kirk is very helpful and was available from the moment the place was booked until we checked out. If you are looking for a place that won't break the bank for a group stay, I highly suggest this place.
Enjoyed our time in Austin! The house was close to everything downtown and urber was our friend. Everything was perfect . Thanks to Kirk for his hospitality.
I booked the house for a group of ten guys for my brother's bachelor party for a long weekend. It was most of the group's first time in Austin, and we had an awesome trip. From the outside the house looks small, but once inside, it surprises you. The house was perfect for our needs - we weren't really planning on spending too much time indoors (as we had plans all weekend), so we mostly needed a place to crash, and we were able to fit all ten guys sleeping, were able to make breakfast, and get ready efficiently in the morning for the days activities. Most of the time we were taking ubers, and an uber into downtown was always available and very cheap.
Kirk was also awesome - he was responsive and accommodating. He let us know about some of the places around the house that were within walking distance, and checked in to make sure the house was treating us well.
All in all: Great weekend - would stay again.
We had a great weekend with extended family at this house. Kirk was great to work with.
Kirk was very easy to communicate with and accommodating to our group of 9 adults. Kirk gave us full attention, which we needed very little of because the home was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It is a nice rental.

(Reuters) - Major League Baseball took another step toward implementing expanded video replay on Thursday as the club owners unanimously approved of funding for the system.
"We made a gigantic move today and I'm very pleased about that," said Commissioner Bud Selig, who added that the final owners' vote on implementation of an expanded replay system would be taken at their meeting in Phoenix in January.
The plan would dramatically increase the number of plays that can be reviewed from the current limit involving home run calls, but would not extend to calls on balls and strikes.
Expanded use of replay should calm the furor over blown calls that have gone unchanged, including umpire Jim Joyce's bad decision on what should have been the last out and cost Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game in 2010.
One significant change to the plan initially unveiled in August is the number of challenges allowed per game. Each manager would be allowed up to two unsuccessful challenges, retaining the right to challenge again with each successful one.
The plan still must be approved by the Major League Baseball Players Association and the World Umpires Association.
Rob Manfred, MLB's chief operating officer, said he was confident an agreement would be made with both unions.
If approved, the system would be run from MLB Advanced Media's replay operations center in New York.
"I think we're quite far along," Selig said from the general managers meetings in Orlando, Florida.
"The bottom line is, we're moving forward on replay. People spoke very emotionally about it. Clubs are very excited about it. Unless there's something I'm missing right now, we're going to have replay in 2014."
Major League Baseball was the last major North American professional team sport to install video replay after beginning to use it in 2008, following its use in the NFL (since 1986), NHL (1991) and NBA (2002).

One more week before the Super Bowl, so please send us your best football-party hints and ideas! If you're not already thinking along those lines, maybe these tips will get you in a gridiron mood. These healthy substitutions are from the folks at Albertson's. Try:
- Diet soda instead of regular
- Light beer instead of regular
- Baked tortilla or potato chips instead of fried chips
- Pork tri-tip instead of beef
Lots of game-day indulgences have low-fat alternatives, and your team may never know the difference:
- Mix onion dip with low-fat sour cream or nonfat plain yogurt.
- Make 7-layer dips with low-fat cheese, sour cream and vegetarian beans.
- Serve turkey or vegetarian chili instead of beef chili.
- Load pizzas with extra veggies and less meat and cheese.
- Use low-fat mayo and mustard on sandwiches.
- Use nonfat dressings on salads and veggies.
Ka-ick Comeback: A reader had e-mailed looking for a recipe for or even just information on a date-filled Middle Eastern pastry she was told was called "ka-ik." Shirley E. Dawson of Carlsbad found a recipe in a book called "The Art of Syrian Cookery" by Helen Corey, published by Doubleday.
4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon anise seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon dry yeast (1/2 cake)
1 egg
Syrup (recipe follows)
In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, seeds and salt; set aside. In small pan, heat butter and milk to lukewarm. Add yeast to dissolve, and then add to flour mix. Add egg and knead well. Cover and set aside about 2 hours to double in size. Then cut small pieces of dough, about 3 inches in diameter. Cover them with a damp cloth and let rise again for 30 minutes. Flatten each piece to 1/2 inch. Place on dry cookie sheet in slow oven -- 250 degrees. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, then place under broiler until tops are light brown. Dip in syrup or brush with syrup for ka'ick. Yields about 25.
Syrup: In medium saucepan, combine 2tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoonrose water. (Editor's note: This is available at Major Market.Don't use the drugstore kind!)Boil 2 minutes and pour intobowl.
Shirley adds, "This is an authentic Syrian recipe and has a soft licorice flavor. May I suggest that you omit the anise seeds and add chopped dates in the amount you think best. For either recipe, the syrup is optional." Thanks, Shirley. I know you have made our reader very happy!
Reader Rescues: Dee Munoz of Fallbrook writesthat she's a fan of the ready-made tortilla soup sold at the Ralphssupermarket in Palmdale: "It is the best I have ever eaten! It hadbig chunks of chicken breast in it and just a bit of hot tang.Could you get the recipe?" The folks at Ralphs say their recipesare proprietary and they don't share, so it's up to you, readers:We need a super recipe for tortilla soup!

TFA are experts in advertising campaigns and spent a lot of time researching Gray Dawes and their business to come up with a series of advert designs, internet banners and print advertisements that would be both informative and visually striking. TFA also spent time looking at where the advert designs would be placed and how surroundings and competitors may affect the campaign; something very important that must be considered when creating a large-scale advertising campaign.
The final design concepts showcased, in a visually appealing and interesting way, how the Gray Dawes online system could save your business time and money. Gray Dawes were also big fans of the designs and will now be looking to implement a new series of print advertisements and online marketing in late 2012 as a result.
Large-scale advertising campaigns are something which TFA are supremely experienced in and have a proven track record of creating successful, attention-grabbing print adverts and digital campaigns for a wide range of businesses in various industries. As with any of TFA's projects, the devil is in the detail and with the Gray Dawes advertising campaign, it was the little design touches and attention to detail that set our advertising campaigns apart.

IE Download Helper
I downloaded and installed Download Helper for IE. After installing, I opened IE and enabled it.
I still can not see the icon to download a video from a web page.
The instruction says to do the following if this happens:
If you don't see the icon in the toolbar, you should install it, it's easy: Go to menu View/Toolbar/Customize and drag the DownloadHelper icon to your toolbar.
In my case there is no option to Customize.
I could use some help with this. Thank you

The articles . . . draw the reader more tightly into the web of the world. They forge links in unexpected ways. They connect us to nature and to each other, and those connections nourish the intellect and uplift the spirit."Jerome Groopman, M.D., editor
This year's Best American Science and Nature Writing offers another rich assortment of fascinating science and impressive journalism" (New Scientist) culled from an array of periodicals, such as The New Yorker, Scientific American, and National Geographic. The twenty-four provocative and often visionary stories chosen by guest editor Jerome Groopman form an outstanding sampling of the very best in a field of writing that stays ahead of the curve, bringing important topics to the forefront of American discussion.
In The Universe's Invisible Hand," Christopher Conselice takes us into the recent spectacular discovery of the crucial role of dark energy, which is making our universe expand faster and faster. Florence Williams tells the story of a more down-to-earth form of energy in A Mighty Wind," which describes how a small Danish island community is making great leaps in energy conservation by using innovative wind farms. John Cohen explores the marvelous world of ligers, zorses, wholphins, and other hybridized creatures in Zonkeys Are Pretty Much My Favorite Animal." And Robin Marantz Henig delves into the possibly hazardous ramifications of the rapidly expanding science of nanotechnology.
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2008 packs a wallop of intriguing, informative, and wondrous stories, each one bringing with it, as Jerome Groopman writes, a sense of excitement [to be] shared with others."
Starred Review.
Groopman (How Doctors Think) has collected a wide range of articles, from futurology to forensics, for this sparkling entry in Tim Folger's annual series. In "Our Biotech Future," Freeman Dyson claims that "the century of biology" is upon us, when biotechnology "follows the path of the computer industry, giving "the tools of genetic engineering become accessible" to the average breeder of animals or plants. In a New Yorker article, Jeffrey Toobin compares forensic experts who actually give testimony in court to the characters in tevelvision's C.S.I. series. Christopher Conselice, in "The Universe's Invisible Hand," discusses how the 1998 discovery of "so-called dark energy" in the universe has led some scientists to create models predicting that its evolution might "rip apart" existing galaxies. Robin Marantz Henig warns in "Our Silver-coated Future" that there may be serious unforeseen risks in unchecked use of nanotechnology, especially the most commonly used, "nanosilver," an "antimicrobial" added to many consumer products. Though prolific readers may argue over the "best" moniker, each piece more than exceeds Groopman's standards ("novel and surprising arguments, protagonists who articulate their themes in clear, cogent voices, and vivid cinema"), making this a delight for any fan of popular science.
