Vayne 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.
Hey there everyone, My name is Dragonzmaster3 and this is my third guide, a guide to the Night Hunter, Vayne. ALL my item choices, rune choices, masteries choices and skill sequence choices will all be explained as you progress through the guide. I am open to any criticism, but if you decide to criticize something, PLEASE read ALL of the guide through before you do so. Same counts for downvoting: If you decide to downvote, PLEASE read the guide through instead of just taking a quick look at the cheatsheet.
For the runes I run the standard AD Carry rune build.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Seal of Armor
Other Choices
Magic Damage.
You may run these for surviving the teamfights later on. Vayne has a very low baseHealth and will die very fast. You can take flat Health too!
These are the Masteries I run on Vayne. I focus on the defensive tree, because Vayne has very weak defenses compared to others. Summoner's Resolve will increase Heal's and Cleanse's effectiveness, But take a extra point in Sunder If you use Cleanse instead of Summoner's Resolve . If you're running Ignite put the point into Summoner's Wrath instead of Summoner's Resolve . Hardiness and Resistance will amplify your resistances to be able to survive. Durability and Veteran's Scars will greatly increase your survivability by amplifying your weak base health. Brute Force will boost yourAttack Damage, as well as helping you with last hitting. Butcher will help you to last hit minions. If you don't want this spec it to somewhere else. Alacrity gives you some nice Attack speed to help you proc those Silver Bolts faster. Weapon Expertise gives you some really nice Armor Penetration], which will really help you out later on. Deadliness will increase your Attack Damage as well. Lethality gives your crits really nice power: Combined with Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer this will just wreck your enemies like paper. Vampirism so i can get Sunder . Sunder gives you some really nice Armor Penetration as well.
Abilities Explained
Night Hunter (Passive): Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains bonus Movement Speed when moving toward nearby enemy champions.
Tumble: Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals bonus damage.
Silver Bolts: Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target deals a percentage of the target's maximum Health as bonus true damage. (Max damage vs. Monsters is capped)
Condemn: Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing damage and knocking them back. If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing bonus damage and stunning them.
Final Hour: Readying herself for an epic confrontation, Vayne gains increased Attack Damage, stealth during Tumble, and quadruple the bonus Movement Speed from Night Hunter.
Skill Sequence
There are MANY ways in which to skill order. It all depends on the situation.
This is the standard skilling order i use. Use this if you need the Cooldown Reduction on Tumble, or if you don't know which one else you should use.
Maxing Silver Bolts first will greatly increase your mid game damage, but your tumble will have an awfully long cooldown till about level 13. Use this skill order if the enemy has nobody who could possibly get close enough to kill you, like Jax. ( Condemn him when he gets close, and he wont be able to proc his stun and will only be able to deal damage through Leap Strike, which is like getting hit by Essence Flux). I do not recommend skilling this way if the enemy can easily focus you down.
If you have a support like Alistar, you will be able to land a easy Condemn, that when maxed first does great damage. High risk high reward. If you have a support who has no stuns or knockups that can directly disable your target, I don't recommend skilling this way as it will be hard to Condemn someone into a wall.
Core Build
These are the items you'll want to get in almost any game you play. If you're a fan of The Bloodthirster, you may get this before you buy Infinity Edge, it all depends on your playstyle. If you're laning with Nunu, I recommend getting The Bloodthirster before Phantom Dancer because of Nunu's awesome attack speed debuff.
Full Build
|Item Sequence
Doran's Blade
Doran's Blade
Phantom Dancer
Infinity Edge
The Bloodthirster
Guardian Angel
This is the most important item in your build. You will need this in order to proc your Silver Bolts faster: The faster you can proc Silver Bolts, the more damage you will do, especially to heavy tanks. I advise you to rush this item as soon as possible.
This big sword is the king of late game damage. it combines really well with the mastery Lethality and the item Phantom Dancer, giving it deadly damage. As i said before, you may get The Bloodthirster before you get this, all depending on the situation and your playstyle: But I recommend getting this before the 30 minute mark.
This is one of the best AD Carry defense items: Since you're the enemies' highest priority, and since you're Vayne, whose survivability sucks, this item will really help you out. In a teamfight, you'll litteraly be invulnerable for about 3-4 seconds, and then get revived again, not to forget about the awesome Armor and Magic Resist it gives. Since you're Vayne, you may get this earlier than you normally would, simply because Vayne's defenses are really bad.
Situational Items
These are the items you may get in some situations to help you out against certain things.
If the enemy has high amounts of Crowd Control, and Cleanse isn't enough, you may get this. With some good timing, this item will save you from something you normally would have died from. Remember to smartcast this.
If the enemy has someone whose damage output depends alot on a combo, like Diana, this item will completely screw them over. It can make them unwilling to focus you, and it will reduce their damage greatly, not to forget about the mana and Magic Resistance this item gives.
If you just need a bit of Magic Resistance that isn't too expensive, this item can be considered. It gives both Attack Damage and Magic Resistance, while not being too expensive.
Personally I do not like this item on Vayne, but it does give some nice speed and Attack Damage, while having a armor-shredding passive.
Your enemies stacking Armor? This item will counter those pesky armor stackers by giving you 40% Armor Penetration, not to forget about the extra Attack Damage it gives.
Already explained above.
If you're dying too quickly, you may consider this item for both the Health and slow it gives.
If you're in the late game and your inventory is full, you can spend your extra money on [Oracle's Elixir], and the other consumable Elixirs.
Summoner Spells
This is a perfect summoner spell for Vayne, if not all AD Carries. Vayne is very vulnerable to cc and should you get hit by something like Taric's Dazzle in a teamfight your enemies would be able to burst you down before you could react. This is what you have Cleanse for. It will save your life if used correctly. If the enemy has any hard CC, pick this up over Ignite at all costs.
Flash is probably one of the best Summoner Spells. It works really well on almost any champion, and should be used on almost every champion. It allows you to get out of situations you would otherwise have died in, and allows you to kill enemies you otherwise couldn't have killed. A must-have for Vayne.
Other Choices
This is the summoner spell I take if the enemy has no hard CC. Ignite Counters Heal with its healing reduction effect, and most AD Carries grab Heal and Ignite. It allows you to kill your opponents more easily with its crazy damage and will secure a first blood and any other kill if used correctly.
This is another Summoner Spell I would pick up in some cases. Currently, Ignite Counters Heal by reducing its healing, which is why I prefer Ignite over this. It will still heal pretty much even with Ignite on, so if you don't want Ignite grab this up.
If your support doesn't pick this up for some reason, you can do it. It allows you to completely shut down any AD Carry for 2 seconds by reducing their damage by a sick 70%, and will turn the fight around if used at the right time.
Final Hour
It is very important to know when to use Final Hour and when not to use Final Hour. Time it so that you will get the most damage and survivability out of it. For example: You have just used Condemn on a Ashe to a wall and made her vulnerable. Now, if you use Final Hour right after you hit her to the wall, you will gain the most damage and movespeed out of it. If you used it later on, you wouldn't get too much damage out of it and perhaps Ashe would have survived. Always find the appropriate time to use Final Hour.
When To Pick Vayne
It is never a good idea to pick Vayne as the first pick. Your enemies can easily counterpick you with someone like Malphite. Take a good look at the enemy team: Do they have anyone with strong knockups? do they have any assassin with high burst damage? If they have, think twice about picking Vayne. Malphite, who has a very strong knockup, can easily disable you for a rough 2.00 seconds without you being able to react, letting his team instantly burst you down, especially if they have that high burst damage assassin. as said, Vayne has really weak defenses, and can easily be bursted down. It does not matter if the AD Carry ''counters'' you, because ALL AD Carries counter Vayne. Except for Ashe and Tristana, but they are late game AD Carries as well. Expect to have a rough laning phase when you pick Vayne.
Laning Phase
For the Laning Phase, I cannot stress enough how EXTREMELY careful you should play. Keep in mind, you are the AD Carry with the weakest laning phase. Try to dodge all the skillshots you can with Tumble, like Graves Buckshot. Whomever your Support is, tell him NOT to pick an aggressive Support, because Vayne is weak in lane and therefore an aggressive Support would be useless with Vayne. Instead, tell him to pick a defensive Support. If you get fed, don't be afraid to play aggressive, though. always look for an opportunity to knock your opponent into a wall and get off some damage and perhaps a kill. If your Jungler comes to gank, try to Condemn the squishiest opponent, like Ashe, for a sure kill. Keep in mind that you still die very fast, so do not overextend.
So, the Laning Phase has ended, and hopefully you survived it with a decent farm and no deaths. Your most important task will be to position yourself nicely, and deal as much damage as possible in the meantime. You are the highest threat for the enemy team, so they will do all what they can to try and kill you. Remember, it is not always the best idea to use Final Hour just when the teamfight starts. Sometimes, it is wiser to do it when you get targeted by the enemy, as you will be able to move faster and have invisibility during Tumble. Tell whomever can protect you well to keep a good eye on you, because you will need all the protection you can get. Do NOT move into the middle of the teamfight, and do NOT overextend. save your Condemn to knock away anyone who decides to focus you down. Don't use your Tumble for damage. it slows your autoattacks down because of it's animation. Use it to position yourself better, dodge skillshots and escape the enemy.
Who To Focus?
I've heard LOTS of people saying this: '' Vayne why you no killing Ashe !!!''. This is just ridiculous: You shouldn't be focusing a certain target. Why? If you go for their high threats, usually their AD Carry or AP Carry, You'll IMMEDIATELY get focused down and die in a few seconds. Therefore, you should focus the one nearest to you, even if he has Warmog's Armor Frozen Mallet and 4000 Health, no matter what your team says. You just CAN'T get near their high threats without dying. Remember, if someone try to kill you, kite them, and tell your team/support to help you out.
Support Pairings
I will not go in total depth with the supports because its just too much text.
Best Choice
Good Choices
Bad Choices
This is just the best support out there for Vayne. He is very defensive and can protect Vayne very well with his slowing abilities. But the main reason that he's the best support for Vayne is because of his Blood Boil that increases Attack speed and Movement speed. Vayne benefits very well from Attack speed and Movement speed, as well as good protection. Whomever your support is, always tell them to take Nunu if they can.
Like Nunu, he can protect Vayne really well with his knockups and knockbacks. In the teamfights, he is just excellent at protecting Vayne.
She has a good shield that increases your damage, and a Howling Gale that can protect Vayne, not to mention she has Monsoon that when in good hands can turn the tide of a battle.
While also a very aggresive support, Taric has a healing spell, and a stun and a spell that gives you armor, making him able to protect you really well.
Her heal increases your attack speed, and as said, Vayne benefits nicely from Attack speed. Her protection isn't too good, so perhaps shes not the best choice.
She has some very nice debuffs, I can't remember them all, but she has a strong healing, a strong movespeed debuff and armor debuff, and a nice ultimate to protect you with.
She has some really strong healing spells that can make your laning a whole lot easier, and can protect you really well in the teamfights.
Her ultimate allows you to survive a big burst in the teamfights, and has a nice movespeed debuff that also heals.
She can greatly increase your movement speed, which Vayne benefits really well from, and she can protect her well with her ultimate, shield and hex.
He's just way too aggressive a support for Vayne. you wont be able to convert on his Rocket Grab's and burst damage because your laning is weak, and will ultimately just give your enemies a advantage.
He does not have any ways of healing you in lane, and cannot protect you good enough apart from his ultimate. You'll get destroyed in lane.
Her kit just doesn't function with Vayne. Her shield is not the strongest and takes time to land, and has absolutely no ways of protecting Vayne apart from her shield.

A Cat's Life
There is little to report these days--it's back and forth to work, keeping warm and catching up with laundry. Boring stuff, really. The only excitement, if it can be called that, is that I am working on another final report for a grant from last year and that keeps me occupied til bedtime. I will be glad to have this done so I can move on to some more interesting projects.
One project I've just begun to play with is a program on carols--their history and creators, with some audience singalong on some of the carols. I've been doing a little research and found stories that were so interesting I started considering a program that could be offered next year during late November and December. A friend who sings and plays guitar is willing to work on it with me. Think it's worth pursuing? Would you attend such a program? I know I would, but would other people be interested? What do you think?

Dear Granny Sue,
My friend and producing partner Joe Doolittle tells the stories of the man who created "Jingle Bells" and how the story, then song, "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" came to be. They are both well received whenever I've heard him tell and people are more than ready to join in the singing of the carols.
I tell the story of the Christmas truce in Dec. 1914 and end it by asking those present to join me in singing "Silent Night" to honor those who were part of that truce. My source for this story is the book by Weintraub, Stanley. "Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce." New York: The Free Press, 2001.

I tell my own version of the history of "Silent Night." In fact I'll be telling it in Bristol on Thursday, Jan. 6, at Beaver Creek Storytellers "Old Christmas" program. I've told it in the past and it is always well received. As one lady in Red Hats told me afterwards, "We should tell more stories like that." So good luck with your project; I think it's a great idea. Mimi

I think that would make a very interesting programme, some of the carols have a very long history indeed and some are not quite the same now as they were when they started out - The Holly and the Ivy comes to mind here. Though its origin is maybe not one to be brought to the attention of the Bible Belt:)
- Thu Jan 06, 03:31:00 AM
- TheresaandJay said...
Yep, I would definitely attend a program like that. I love to hear the origins of carols and I love to sing them. There is a perfect venue for this right by my house! I am going to have to find out how you can give a program there. The high school does a concert and it is very well attended (and not just by the family members). So, I say go for it! And I have some homework to do. Love you

I appreciate all the feedback! Kate, I think I have heard you tell the WWII Silent Night story and it's a stunner. I had not considered that one; I was looking at the actual origin of the story, but both would be good additions. And the Jingle Bells and Rudolph, definitely. I thought we'd provide handouts of the lyrics. Others on my list were The Cherry Tree Carol, Good King Wenceslas...forget the others. You have all inspired and encouraged me on this project. Thanks!

Dear Granny Sue,
I've found that when I hand out lyrics, people stop looking up and rigidly look at the lyrics. It was very strange as I cast my eyes over my audience that I saw so few eyes.
So I stopped doing that, and people join in when they know the words or when they hear me sing them.
Hugs, Kate
- Fri Jan 07, 07:28:00 PM
- Granny Sue said...
Now that's a good point, Kate. Maybe hand them out only when we start singing the song? Or at the end of the program? I'd want them to be able to sing with us. Of course, some songs will need no help because we all know them!

Copper Sage Stacked Cairn Pendant + Handmade Elements + Ancient Beads + Copper Bead Necklace
Copper Sage Stacked Cairn Pendant + Handmade Elements + Ancient Beads + Copper Bead Necklace
Rich coppery reds predominate in this autumnal necklace...featuring elements from the high desert of the Four Corners and beyond.
:: Red Sage ::
:: This talisman includes fossil walrus ivory and is for US domestic sale only ::
Like an October sunset in the Four Corners...this primitive necklace captures the red light of late sun slanting across red rock mesas and windblown sage. The warm glow of the days will all too soon give way to the sharp chill of winter, but it will linger in the fiery hues here.
The focal point for the pendant is solid copper, molded from a sprig of Mesa Verde sage, which grew near Farview Ruins on the mesa top. Sage has been used for uncounted centuries here as a medicinal and purifying plant, and the detail of the leaves is reproduced in stunning detail. I've given the copper a warm, glowing patina and a soft finish. At the top of the cairn is another copper piece, a crushed ring that was molded from Hovenweep mesa sandstone near the ruins that bear that name. Hovenweep is a wild, austere and enigmatic place, and this little ring carries some of that energy.
Between the two is a stack of beads. The large red bead is polymer that was colored with natural Southwestern red earth pigment, including hematite I found years ago near Palatki ruins west of Sedona, Arizona. Below it are three pieces of fossil walrus ivory, artifact fragments from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. A quartzite bead from Africa is at the bottom; this is very old, perhaps ancient, and has picked up a reddish hue from long burial in the Sahara. Greek copper-clad ceramic beads are sandwiched between.
The strand is almost entirely copper beads of various shapes and sizes, mostly seed beads, some African and Greek copper, and a couple of tiny copper beads that I made, molded from weathered Cabezon Peak juniper. There are also coppery pearls, sherry-red hessonite garnet, and beads and chips of fossil dinosaur bone from the Southwest. Together they make a warm and inviting mix. I used professional grade beading wire to string the piece.
As with most of my necklaces, this piece can stand alone or you can layer it with others to suit your mood. It is very durable and you can wear it anywhere.
SIZE: The pendant assemblage measures 5" x 1 1/8" x 1", or 127mm x 29mm x 25mm. The necklace with pendant measures 21 3/4" or 55cm, from the back of your neck to the end of the pendant when worn.
CARE: Simply rinse in cool water after you wear it, and gently blot dry with a towel. No polish should be used; allow the patina to deepen on its own.
PRESENTATION: This necklace will come to you beautifully giftwrapped. See my shop policies below for details.

Donald Trump and the curse of the white, educated Southerner
Last night, South Carolina joined Georgia as a member of a new and suddenly fashionable club: red states that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump needs to worry about.
Put the blame on well-educated white Southerners. You might call it Mitt Romney's revenge.
According to Public Policy Polling, Trump carries only a two-point lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton in South Carolina, 41 to 39 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson bleeds off 5 percent of the vote. Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets another 2 percent.
The S.C. results track those found in last week's Atlanta Journal-Constitution survey. From the PPP memo:
The closeness is a function of Democrats being a lot happier with their party's candidate than Republicans are with theirs. Clinton is winning 84% of the Democratic vote, compared to Trump's 77% of the Republican vote. Although neither candidate is well liked by voters in the state Trump's favorability, at 38% positive and 56% negative, comes in slightly worse than Clinton's at 38/55.
Whether Democrats end up winning South Carolina in the Presidential race this fall or not, the generational differences in the state portend well for the party in the decades ahead. Trump is only ahead because of a massive advantage among seniors in the state at 58/30. When you look at everyone in the electorate below the age of 65, Clinton leads Trump 41/36.
Both South Carolina and Georgia seem counter-intuitive, given their histories as robust centers of Republican power. Earlier this week, Nate Cohn of the New York Times ventured to explain the Southern phenomenon we're seeing – and he makes a degree of sense.
Trump is aiming at key Rust Belt swing states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Iowa with messages aimed at bringing the last white blue-collar Democrats in those states over to his side. Hence the nationalist emphasis on the loss of manufacturing jobs, the tough talk on immigration, the racial dog whistles.
But that polarization has already occurred in the South, where race and party identification already overlap to an extraordinary degree. White, blue-collar voters were already on Trump's side before the game began.
What's happened is that Trump's rhetoric has had a counter-effect in the South. It has begun to cost him dearly among white Southerners with more education. Women in particular.
Writes Cohn in the New York Times:
According to our estimates, Mr. Obama probably didn't even win 15 percent of white voters without a degree in Georgia in 2012.
So where is Mr. Trump supposed to make gains among white working-class voters in Georgia? Is he really going to drive Mrs. Clinton down to something like 5 percent of white voters without a degree? That's not credible….
In comparison, there are a lot of well-educated Romney voters in a state like Georgia; Mr. Romney won around 75 percent of white voters with a degree. So there are far more college-educated white voters for Mr. Trump to lose than there are white working-class Obama voters for him to flip.
In last week's AJC poll, Clinton was beating Trump 47 to 33 percent among those with college degrees.
Some of that support definitely belongs to Republican ticket-splitters. Because in a one-on-one match-up in the U.S. Senate race, surveying the same voter pool, Republican incumbent Johnny Isakson was besting Democrat Jim Barksdale 50 to 40 percent among the college-degreed. (Libertarian Allen Buckley is the third candidate in that contest.)
Now, let's go back to that PPP poll of South Carolina's presidential prospects. What do the crosstabs show? Donald Trump is losing the college-degreed vote by 45 to 32 percent.
A little cemetery humor for you, courtesy of the apocryphal funeral home advertisement: "I'll be the last one to let you down."
That might as well be the slogan for both rivals competing for the seat of state Rep. Rusty Kidd, the Legislature's lone independent. The Milledgeville lawmaker's decision to drop out of the race leaves two candidates undertaking a race for the seat.
Both Democrat Floyd Griffin Jr., a former state senator and ex-mayor of Milledgeville, and Republican Rick Williams, an ex-Baldwin County commissioner, are funeral home directors.
Who will bury whom? It's been a Republican-leaning district in off years, and Democratic in presidential ones. Our gut says the contest is a dead heat.
The Georgia Fraternal Order of Police didn't react kindly to the news that Democrat Hillary Clinton's stance on soliciting endorsements from police groups.
The Hill reported this week that the National Fraternal Order of Police felt snubbed when Clinton declined to ask the union for its support. That led to this Facebook post from the group's Georgia chapter surmising that Clinton must see the union as a "hate group" like the Ku Klux Klan. We'll let them explain:
An endorsement from large union like the National Fraternal Order of Police should be highly desirable for any political candidate, because it generally means that the candidate can count on a lot more votes. However, politicians don't want endorsements from groups that could make them look bad by association, such as the KKK or ISIS. By saying that she doesn't want the National Fraternal Order of Police to endorse her, Clinton is sending a strong message that she groups the FOP into the same category as hate groups.
Clinton's staff must believe that an endorsement from police officers will actually cost her more votes than an endorsement would gain. This is scary, because if an endorsement from police would make her lose votes, then it stands to reason that Democratic politicians can expect to gain voters by attacking law enforcement. While politically motivated attacks on law enforcement have already become popular, Clinton's stance indicates that things may get a whole lot worse.

1. Listen. Social Media is not about you. It's about people's relationships with you. Listen before you speak.
2. Get involved. Social Media is about conversations and building relationships. It takes effort. Don't just talk about yourself. Ask questions, engage people and link. Most of all, be inspiring.
3. Give up control. You can't control the conversation. If you want people to spread your message, you have to trust them.Listen. Inspire. Engage. Let go.
4. Be honest. You can't spin the truth with Social Media. Be open, honest and authentic in everything you say and do.
5. Think long term. Don't expect immediate, easily measurable results. It takes time to build trust and make connections.

text: One of my favorite parts about traveling through Asia (though still far behind the food) is the sculptures--the religious and cultural images adorn so many sights are amazing. My favorite from around Bali is Garuda, the bird god depicted in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Tegalalang, we came across a shop that specialized in wood sculptures of Garuda, ranging in size from a few inches to enormous (the largest one took up almost half the shop). My wife bought a small one at an inflated price in Ubud and regretted asking the price in Tegalalang, as it was half the price. The large sculpture in the shop was the nicest I saw in Bali, but I wasn't allowed to take a picture of it. I got the next-best image of Garuda--it was in the lobby of our second hotel.

My favorite quote is in the excerpt here.
Oh please! You paid her to say that!
For some reason my hyperlinks aren't working on my computer, so I am spared the banality of whatever it is she has to say.
^ Caitlin banally said Nalts wasn't over the hill (yet). But close. Even people in their 40s (brrrrrr) are allowed to make videos. We're such an open culture!
Got some scary news for ya, Caitlin: codgers in their 50s are making videos. No really. No shit. I can prove it!
That is hilarious with the clip of you driving the car in that context.
@4 Paul
Yes, it worked well, didn't it!? It's almost as if forethought had been put into it.
40's??!?!? We are so old Kevin. Tomorrow, I start my 50th year strolling on this rock. When asked what I have contributed during my stay here I will affect my best quizzical look and volunteer…"Well I once made a cheese video for a Nalts collab"…
I think I'll kill myself now….
Hey! What a coinkydink! I made a chesse video for a Nalts collab too. What are the odds?

ARCHIVE for Wednesday 3rd October 2001 - Premonitions of disaster
Last week's subject was Nostradamus and whether or not he predicted the terrorist outrage in New York. It all depends on how you interpret his sayings. But the disaster was apparently foreseen by a number of office-workers at the World Trade Center towers. Bad dreams and premonitions kept them at home on the fatal morning, so their lives were spared.
It has always been known that great dramas and tragedies 'cast their shadows before them'. That is why in ancient times every state had its prophetic oracle. Whenever the rulers planned to do something they asked its advice. If the oracle warned against the plan they abandoned it.
There are no such oracles today, but we still have premonitions – advance warnings of catastrophes. The loss of the Titanic in 1912 was so widely foreseen that several would-be passengers cancelled their tickets. Others had feelings of doom and dread, but they overcame their fears and were among the 1,502 who drowned. It was then discovered that the whole thing had been predicted fourteen years earlier. A strange, visionary author, Morgan Robertson of New York, saw in his imagination a great liner in mid-Atlantic. He also saw that there were not enough lifeboats for its nearly 3,000 passengers. It was said to be 'unsinkable'. He read its name – The Titan. It was a foggy night, and at full speed the ship ran into an iceberg. Robertson's story was called The Wreck of the Titan. He wrote it in 1898, years before the Titanic was even thought of. Yet it described in almost every detail the great, doomed liner and what became of it.
If disasters can be foreseen they can be prevented. In 1957 that idea occured to a London psychiatrist, Dr John Barker. In the first year alone his British Premonitions Bureau managed to file over 1,000 cases of premonitions. He hoped to provide early warning against future catastrophes. It was a brave effort, but did not achieve much and was discontinued a few years later. It is difficult to sort out the true prophets from the mad ones – You can only go by your own feelings. I know an American lady who got off an airliner before take-off, because she felt it would crash – which it did. Should she have made a scene and warned the others? What would you have done?
One of the most reputable reports of premonition concerns the horrific disaster on October 21, 1966 in Aberfan, Wales. A coal tip collapsed and buried a school, killing 116 children and 28 adults. After the disaster, there were a number of reports of premonitions. The mother of one of the children who died said that her ten-year-old told her of a dream the night before. The child told her mother, "I dreamed I went to school and there was no school there. Something black had come down all over it."
Have you or someone you know ever experienced a premonition?
Too right for his own good

text: So I went and saw this movie last night. It honestly was a really good movie! Even my dad who is not religious liked it! I've come to really believe in Colton Burpo's story. His story is closely tied with Akiane's story, and her painting of The Prince Of Peace resembles the Jesus Colton saw in heaven. Do you believe all of this? Is this all just imagination, demonic hallucination, or spiritual revelation? Even if you don't believe I highly recommend the movie!

After a thorough examination, I purchased a little baby.... can you guess which one? ....
My heart sunk a little when I saw these bracelets! ohhhh!
Leather goodness!
These are tooo cute!! I love the watermelon one!
Zines! Zines! Zines!
When I have my own place, I want one of these old window photo frames! A sucker for 'rustic charm'?!
Picked up this ring for $6! Did someone say hoot hoot?!
Close-up detail of canvas tote.
I chose this Amethyst crystal cluster out of the lot! And got it for only 8 buckeroos!!
....Do you like?!
You could say something like this went through my head the very second I laid eyes on the baby:
OMG crystals! + OMG ameythst! + MY BAG FULL OF RING BASES!! + tomorrow get super glue! = My very own crystal cluster ring!
To be honest, I have so many things gathering up dust in my room that still need to be customised or transformed into something new!
Here is a "pretend shot" of what the ring would look like in the end! Now that's what you call a 'statement piece'! Don't think it would be a good idea to team it up with my Amethyst pendant necklace ay? Is there such a thing as too much crystal??!! Hrmm. What the heck!
I really need to stop buying stuff off ebay. My watching list is seriously getting out of control. Last week I 'Won' this vintage Levi's denim jacket - I can see it being a family heirloom....Well I'd like to think so. It is Levi's after all!
Another goodie I scored off ebay was the gorgeous beige and black trimmed blouse from Ezzentric Topz Vintage. When I saw it I fell in love, the sharp crisp colour and gold button details on the front pocket flaps and cuffs made it even more perfect! Been wanting to wear it tucked into these cute culottes/skort shorts I have, or maybe high-waisted jeans? Just waiting for the weather to be just right. I BIG shout out to Twee from Ezzentric Topz Vintage! You must go and have a look at her store if you haven't already.
After Glebe Markets we went to pay a visit to the nearby op-shops and thrift stores. After a lengthy "Yes or No?" game in the changerooms, I came out with the embroided denim number, bohemian-inspired throwover and my favourite - this China porcelain print blouse! The print is heavenly, I could not believe my luck when I saw it amongst the racks.
Last but not least, I had to get my hands on some maxi skirts. Eating as much as I want without care for the enlarged-tight tummy post meal and chucking leg spreads underneath the office desk were my main incentives for purchasing one! These amazing prints however did help in swaying my decision to get them ;)
Some major retail therapy you see? Quite so. Until next month, I refrain myself from buying any more vintage, accessories, or crystals.
Though, I'm sure all of these won't round up to the amount I spent for USHER tickets for my sister and I. YES! USHER O.M.G 2011 TOUR is LOCKED IN!! and GOLD SEATING!! ahhhhhhhHHH!! absolutely gonna be off-da-hook! Usher, "The Next Michael Jackson?" Let's just say, Section 9 will be going crazzzyyyyyy! :D
Hope you all are having a wonderful day so far, mine was a bit blaahhhh at start, but with this news, it definitely made my day a gazillion times better.

The Rally of Japan last Sunday was won by Citroen's Sebastien Ogier, who considers this as his second win for the season after his triumph at Rally of Portugal last May. During the race, he was able to take the lead from rival Petter Solberg who experienced some mechanical problems. This is the first time that Ogier has participated in this event.
In interviews over the weekend, he had stated that his goal was to finish on the podium. But Ogier was consistent and on Day 3, he drove superbly and became victorious, which he attributes to having found a "good feeling and a good rhythm." Ogier said that upon arriving, he believed that he will face a "difficult rally" as it was his first time.
Nevertheless, many say that the title for the true hero of the weekend belongs to Petter Solberg who joined the race to become the first privateer to win in the last 16 years.
In the first two days of action, Solberg was at the top of the timing reports; but on Sunday, his C4 WRC had a broken damper, allowing Ogier to prevail. Solberg had the flu and barely made it to the cockpit, which made him think that he wouldn't succeed in the race.
But he actually did quite well and likely would have won if not for the car problem. Third place went to Ford's Jari-Matti Latvala while the fourth rank belongs to Citroen Junior's Dani Sordo, whose driveshaft broke midway through the Saturday action.
Only four stages remained in the rally before Latvala overtook Sordo. Fifth place went to championship leader Sebastien Loeb. Coming in sixth was Mikko Hirvonen, who came near to winning the rally victory but was set back due to a broken differential. Rounding out the Top 10 are Henning Solberg, Federico Villagra, Jari Ketomaa and Martin Prokop.

Hot Work Steel
Aluminum production and production of aluminum parts by various casting processes, requires the use of special hot working steel. This steel must be able to withstand high levels of stresses, due to variations in temperature, expansion and contraction, and deal with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Unless good, quality, hot working steel is used, the material will crack and distort, resulting in thermal fatigue and finally failure.
Such quality material is available from a top European manufacturer and from them only! Unfortunately, the price tag is very high, the delivery lead times are long, and minimum-order values are imposed. Now, that is all a thing of the past!!! THPP can supply the same high quality material with proven results, backed by tests and testimonials as well as a performance guarantee.
With two unique grades, THPP currently offers these alloys: W-Ni-Co-Mn-Fe (our part number SROV 1) and W-Ni-Fe-Mo (our part number SROV 2). It is not only the alloying composition that makes this material most suitable for the hot work application, but also the process that includes special heat treatments and unique swaging/forging steps.
Click on this Hot Work Steel"Technical Comparison" for additional technical information and to compare our hot work steel to that of our European competitor.
If the above comparison doesn't convince, see for yourself! Our hot work steel is backed by a 100% guarantee, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Happy 62nd Anniversary to the Wyoming State Song
Subscribe to 101.9 KING-FM on
Have you ever heard the official Wyoming state song? Did you even know we had a state song?
It's called "Wyoming" and it was adopted as the Cowboy State's official theme 62 years ago today.
Although it didn't become our official state song until 1955, it was co-written in 1903 by former judge and Wyoming Congressman Charles Edwin Winter and Earle Clemens.
"Wyoming" was copyrighted in 1913 and later released by the Wyoming Publishing Company.
In 1920, a new melody was composed by the Director of the University of Wyoming Music Department George Edwin Knapp.
As Winter wrote, "In the far and mighty West, Where the crimson sun seeks rest, There's a growing splendid State that lies above, On the breast of this great land; Where the massive Rockies stand, There's Wyoming young and strong, the State I love!"

Lu's book of positive words
Many people collect things - stamps, coins, antiques... I collect words, those words that make us happy and stay inspired - the positive words.
I had the idea of collecting positive words while writing for Semplice social media channels. I had to write some copies introducing the portfolios we feature every week. The task turned out to be harder than I expected - as I wrote more, I noticed that I kept using the same words.
Then I realized a bigger problem - I don't use those beautiful words often enough! So I started this little project to collect the positive words I should 'say it more!'
This is an ongoing project as my "daily design challenge". It's called "Lu's book" because I hope to print all the words when I collected enough of them and hand-bind them into a real book! I wish to keep it in my pocket to remind myself - always stay positive!
Stay positive 🙂

Been working on my demise again and if you don't know what that means, maybe one day you will.
Here are my struggles, and maybe my fellow writers can help me out.
1) Ending a story.
Why is it so damn hard to wrap things up in a believable way. Things end all the time. TV shows. Jobs. Relationships. Why is it so hard to wrap up a story without throwing all the characters off a cliff?
2) Dialogue.
We simply don't talk like we write and vice versa. My characters always end up coming off as cubists with these long strings of consciousness. My problem is that if my character were real people, frankly they probably wouldn't say much at all.
Thank god for third person omniscient.
To be continued....

Re: Richard Vincent Twohig WV
In reply to:
Richard Vincent Twohig WV
Well I'ma McGeoghan but a maternal Twohig living in Cambodia. My mother's a Twohig (Ellen Twohig) from Clonakilty, Co. Cork Ireland. Twohig is almost certainly a name from this county although not too plentiful. Specifically, my mother is from the village of Donour ( Ardfield -near the Galley Head) and there are a number of Twohigs in this area. She is the daughter of Steven Twohig (died 1954) (and Mary Calnan, died 1967) and has no known relatives in the USA. She does recall though that many of her father's relatives (Uncles, aunts and beyond) settled in the eastern USA during and after the famine.

Poinsettias are beautiful holiday plants. But when the holidays are over, what can you do with them? It turns out that poinsettia leaves, much like red cabbage leaves, make an excellent pH indicator!
First of all, what is pH? The term "pH" stands for "power of Hydrogen" and is a measure of how many Hydorgen ions are in a liquid or solution. Bases have a lot of hydrogen ions and acids have very few. The scale runs form 1 (extremely acidic) to 14 (extremely basic) with water in the middle at 7 or neutral….

Paris (ESA) Oct 07, 2011
Using observations of Venus performed with an instrument on ESA's Venus Express scientists have detected, for the first time, a tenuous layer of ozone in this planet's atmosphere. Located at an altitude of about 100 km, the layer is up to a thousand times less dense than the one found, at a lower altitude, in the Earth's stratosphere, but both are dominated by very similar chemical reactions.
The discovery poses new challenges to the characterisation of planetary atmospheres, especially in the quest for biomarkers on extrasolar planets.
Ozone (O3) is one of the most notable molecules populating the atmosphere of the Earth. Present there only in moderate quantities with respect to other, more abundant molecules-nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide, among others-ozone plays an essential role in preserving life on Earth.
Mostly concentrated in a dense layer in the stratosphere, at altitudes between 15 and 50 km, atmospheric ozone absorbs the most energetic ultraviolet photons from the Sun, those which are harmful to living organisms. By absorbing this radiation, ozone is also responsible for the temperature inversion in the stratosphere.
The Earth's layer of ozone is a result of the large abundance of molecular oxygen (O2) in our planet's atmosphere. When irradiated by solar ultraviolet rays, oxygen molecules are broken into atoms, which may, in turn, react with other oxygen molecules and create ozone.
These reactions also take place in the atmosphere of other planets, as long as they harbour sufficient amounts of molecular oxygen. In fact, traces of ozone were first detected forty years ago in the tenuous atmosphere of Mars. Until now no evidence of this molecule had been found in the atmosphere of Venus, in spite of theoretical predictions.
At last, observations performed with one of the instruments on ESA's Venus Express spacecraft have now clearly identified a thin layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere of Venus. The results are reported in a paper published in the journal Icarus and are being presented at the European Planetology Network and Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society (EPSC-DPS) joint meeting, held this week in Nantes, France.
"We were surveying the atmosphere of Venus and focussing on other molecules when we stumbled on a very interesting feature in one of the spectra," comments Franck Montmessin from the Laboratoire Atmospheres, Milieux, Observations Spatiales (LATMOS) in Guyancourt, France. Montmessin led the team who carried out this study. "The spectral signature of ozone, a distinctive absorption band at UV wavelengths, was rather pronounced and we could clearly discern it in our plots with the naked eye," he adds.
The data have been gathered with the Spectroscopy for Investigation of Characteristics of the Atmosphere of Venus (SPICAV) instrument on board Venus Express using the stellar occultation method. This technique allows astronomers to indirectly probe a planet's atmosphere by studying its influence on the light from distant stars.
"As it orbits Venus, the spacecraft's line of sight to a given star crosses the planet's atmosphere, meaning that starlight is prone to being absorbed by the atmosphere," explains co-author Jean-Loup Bertaux from LATMOS and Universite de Versailles-Saint-Quentin, France. Bertaux is also the Principal investigator of SPICAV. "In the process, chemical species present in the atmosphere leave their characteristic signatures in the star's spectrum, enabling us to pinpoint them," he adds.
After they identified this first ozone feature in the spectrum from an orbit of Venus Express, the team of astronomers ran a dedicated search over data from nearly 300 orbits. The analysis revealed robust evidence for this molecule in about ten per cent of the orbits.
According to the new data, ozone is located at varying altitudes in the Venusian atmosphere, between 90 and 120 km, and is always confined to a rather thin layer, measuring 5 to 10 km across. "The varying altitude and narrow radial extent of the detected patches are particularly striking, hinting that an as-yet-undetermined mechanism must be keeping the ozone right there," notes Hakan Svedhem, ESA Venus Express Project Scientist.
The ozone layer on Venus is very tenuous-up to a thousand times less dense than that on Earth. Nonetheless, it could be readily detected using SPICAV because the stellar occultation method, by peering tangentially through the layers of the atmosphere, probes a large path of the atmosphere and is thus sensitive to chemical species even in low concentrations.
A drawback of the method, however, is that it relies on the availability of stars in the line of sight, meaning that it yields an uneven coverage of the planet and is limited to the night side. This means that investigations of the spatial or temporal distribution of ozone across the planet are not straightforward.
"Interestingly, we expected to detect ozone at the anti-solar point, where molecular oxygen is highly concentrated, but instead we found none there," comments Montmessin. As highlighted by previous studies based on Venus Express observations, sunlight illuminating the day side of the planet breaks apart the carbon dioxide molecules, liberating oxygen atoms.
These are then carried to the anti-solar point, on the night side, by the sub-solar-to-anti-solar circulation, a strong wind caused by the high temperature gradient between the two sides of Venus. Oxygen atoms transported to the anti-solar point give rise to molecular oxygen, and some production of ozone is also expected.
"The lack of ozone detected there is explained if the molecules are destroyed by chlorine-based compounds, which are funnelled to the anti-solar point by the same mechanism that draws the oxygen there," adds Montmessin. The chlorine-catalysed destruction of ozone at Venus' anti-solar point may be caused by reactions very similar to those responsible for the Antarctic 'ozone hole' on Earth, highlighting once again the similarity of atmospheric processes on these two planets.
Besides enabling comparative studies among the atmospheres of terrestrial planets, this discovery has intriguing implications for astrobiology and the quest for extrasolar planets. Future hunts for planetary systems beyond our own will characterise the atmosphere of these planets in search of biomarkers-chemical compounds, such as water, carbon dioxide and molecular oxygen, that are associated, on Earth, with living organisms.
Thus far, ozone has also been regarded as a potential biomarker, since it traces the distribution of molecular oxygen.
However, the detection of ozone in the atmosphere of Venus, a planet that clearly does not host life, raises questions about the unambiguity of biomarkers and will help assessing the role of chemical indicators of biological activity in future extrasolar planet searches.
The study presented here is based on data collected with the Spectroscopy for Investigation of Characteristics of the Atmosphere of Venus (SPICAV) instrument on board ESA's Venus Express spacecraft.
SPICAV is a remote-sensing spectrometer covering three distinct spectral regions (ultraviolet, near- and mid-infrared). It is used to probe the atmosphere of Venus above the clouds, which are located at an altitude of about 50-60 km.
Venus Express, Europe's first mission to Earth's twin world, is investigating the nature of our closest planetary neighbour. Launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 9 November 2005 upon a Soyuz-Fregat launcher, it was inserted into Venus orbit on 11 April 2006, and is currently the only spacecraft in orbit around the planet.

One common and instant response to [the claim that no lives are good] is indignation. How dare one claim that no lives are good when there are billions of people who say otherwise about their own lives? I dare to make such a claim partly because there is excellent empirical evidence for the conclusion that people's judgements [sic] cannot be trusted as a reliable indicator of how good their lives really are. For example, research psychologists have shown that people are prone to optimism and to optimistic (that is, inaccurately positive) assessments of their own lives. There are many manifestations of this phenomenon. People are more prone to remember good experiences than bad ones; they have exaggerated views of how well things will go for them in the future; and most people think that the quality of their lives is above average. When it comes to assessing their own moral goodness, people also tend to be overly optimistic. Very few people think of themselves as bad. If we were to trust self-assessments, we would have to conclude that there are very few bad people and evil actions, which is patently false.
Cheery people – those who think that life is, or at least, can be good – invariably attempt to reconcile the many bad things in life with the possibility of a good life. That is to say, they offer what might be called a "secular theodicy". But, like conventional theodicies, which attempt to reconcile the vast amount of evil in the world with God's existence, the secular theodicy of optimists puts the conclusion before the evidence. [Bolded emphasis mine.]

As a hunger strike nears its seventh week, it remains to be seen how California prison officials will respond if a fasting inmate dies.
Inmates have consistently been treated at prison medical facilities throughout the protest, and earlier this week a federal judge gave the California Correctional Health Care Services permission to force-feed inmates if their health diminishes enough.
"We have not needed to use the court order immediately," said Joyce Hayhoe, Director of CCHCS.
As of Wednesday, 80 inmates in four prisons were considered to be on a hunger strike, 44 fasting continuously since July 8.
"We have a lot of inmates showing signs of fatigue," said Hayhoe. "We haven't seen, up to this point, any changes in vision likely because we have been giving them multivitamins four times a day."
There hasn't been any organ failure either, Hayhoe said.
"That could change at any time and that's why we continue to be concerned," said Hayhoe.
The core group of inmates leading the third hunger strike in two years are housed in Pelican Bay State Prison's Security Housing Unit. They are protesting the use of long-term solitary confinement to thwart prison gang communications.
Inmates claim they arebeing wrongly labelled gang affiliates, while the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and some other inmates who participated in pastprotests insist it is being driven by prison gang leaders seeking release to grow their criminal enterprises.
The state's estimated number of hunger-strikers has been disputed throughout the protest by prison advocates.
"I would say it's a quite bit more," said Isaac Ontiveros, adding that CDCR's numbers are "gray."
Officials don't consider inmates who drink nutritional drinks to be on a hunger strike, though the doctors continue to monitor them.
"Whatever the numbers it's still a dire situation," said Ontiveros.
The hunger strike has garnered national and international media attention and generated support from several well-known political and civil activists, as well as advocacy journalists, politicians and celebrities.
The hunger strike has also effectively disrupted the operations of California's prisons.
"This is what people do when they have very little recourse," said Ontiveros. "This is how bad it is."
Inmates are asking the CDCR to begin negotiations, though officials have staunchly rejected the prospect while inmates remain on a hunger strike. Officials have been in discussions with prisoner mediators however.
"If the inmates stop the hunger strikes we'll continue to have dialogue with them," said CDCR spokesperson Terry Thornton. "This is a mass disruption, CDCR does not condone this type of disruptive behavior."
She couldn't answer what stance CDCR would take if inmates die as a result of the hunger strike.
"I don't know how to answer that," said Thornton. "I hope no one dies."

Holgraves Early Origins
Cheshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held estates in that shire.
Holgraves Spelling Variations
Holgraves Spelling Variations
One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Holgraves has appeared include Holgrave, Hollgrave, Hullgrave, Hulgrave, Hollgave and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Holgraves arrived in North America very early: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

Jean Laherr`ere, Estimates of Oil Reserves, paper presented at the EMF/IEA/IEW meeting in Laxenburg, Austria, June 19, 2001.http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/ECS/IEW2001/pdffiles/Papers/Laherrere-long.pdf
"Biofuel brews up higher German beer prices" at the EMF/IEA/IEW
"It's absolutely outrageous that beer is getting even more expensive," Glitsch said, gulping down the last swig of his half-liter dark beer at lunch. "But there's nothing we can do about it, except drinking less –AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN."
Nothing on the horizon to replace the economic or environmental advantages of oil or natural gas
Peak oil doesn't mean oil "runs out" –but tighter supplies will lead to price increases.
Major portions of the US energy strategy should be abandoned or curtailed, including ethanol and hydrogen.
All non-renewable energy (Nuclear, coal and tar sands will increase in price due to higher costs of production and increased cost of extraction.
Coal is the leading candidate to replace oil to fuel the US-and the world- economy.
There will be a shift to "electrification" of the US economy.
There will be plenty of oil available for the rest of the century-if we can outbid the rest of the world.
Aggressive conservation (Negawatts) should be a top priority for pessimistic or optimistic energy strategies.
We need to base our energy decisions on time periods of decades not election cycles.Conclusions

My recruiter called at about 8:45am, saying he had to go to the doctor and that I have to go up to the recruiting office on my own. Cendy was nice enough to give me a ride. I went in to the office and they handed me some papers and shook my hand.
Me: "Um...Where's my ride to MEPS?"
Dude: "Oh, that's news to me."
Me: "Great...Yeah, I'm supposed to ship out tomorrow."
After a few phone calls, a lady picked me up(SGT. Braxton). SGT. Hall was driving. Another recruit was in the car. We talked a bit. I said I'm going to Ft. Knox. The other recruit said, "Good luck. I went shopping at the PX there and it was like WW3." I didn't pay her much attention. Besides, she's a Melissa Ethridge fan.
After about an hour of driving, SGT. Braxton's cell rang as I was sleeping. I woke up when I heard "Marck Rossy." I specially woke up when I heard "Oh. He's not supposed to be in this car?" Apparently, they don't teach COMM in the army. Lucky for me, the car was going to MEPS anyway, so I was ok.
Now I have to wait 3 hours to be taken to a hotel. Hopefully, I won't have a psycho roommate like last time. In the meantime, I'm off to the game room. WOOHOO!!
I had lunch(Wendy's) with Elisa, the girl who rode in the car with me. Her biggest worry seemed to be that she left her room messy. We all have our worries. I never played so much Area 51 in my life. Bored. Will die if I don't ship out soon.
The hotel's nice. Clean room and free food. The food is horrible. My carrot cake vibrated. My roommate's cool. He's 2 lbs overweight, so I told him to go to the sauna and sweat those mofos off. I'm watching Happy Gilmore. Maybe I'll hit the jacuzzi before our 10pm curfew. It's been a cool hotel stay.
The jacuzzi was great. Relaxing.

National Waterways Alliance Meets with CEQ
A diverse group of 30 members of the National Waterways Alliance – representing all segments of the water resources community nationwide – met with the Council on Environmental Quality to discuss the proposed revisions to the Principles and Standards governing the planning and development of water resources projects. Recognizing that reliable, well maintained water resources infrastructure is critical to our nation's economic vitality and environmental well-being, the Alliance sought to offer constructive suggestions to the proposal to ensure a viable, long-term planning mechanism.
Highlights of the session included a presentation by Dr. Sam Hunter, Chairman of the Mississippi Valley Flood Control Association, reflecting on the significance of the Mississippi River watershed to our nation, stressed the critical importance of effective flood control efforts to protect our nation's most valuable natural resource. This sentiment was echoed by Jack Peterson (Harris County Flood Control District) and Karin Jacoby (Missouri-Arkansas River Basin Association), tying effective flood control measures to the safety and well-being of flood prone communities. Other attendees included Jeff Wood from Ingram Barge, who pointed out the economic and environmental benefits of moving cargo along our inland, coastal and Great Lakes waterways; Susan Monteverde (American Association of Port Authorities), on the need to ensure the cooperation between the Federal government and local sponsors in the planning of these critical projects; and Harry Proudy (American Shore and Beach Preservation Association), on the utilization of effective scientific technology through the planning process.
Amy Larson, President of the National Waterways Conference, praised the Council for its willingness to work together to address the concerns raised in response to the proposed Principles. In further thanking the Council for its invitation to provide assistance in resolving the concerns, Larson noted that the Alliance looks forward to a continuing dialogue with the Council as it works to establish a national policy and framework for an effective, timely and balanced planning process.

Now Arriving: The Long-Awaited Correction in Associate Pay
About a month ago, we gave a gentle admonishment to the leaders of the nation's big law firms over their collective reluctance, it seemed, to cut associate salaries. We had the sense at the time that too many of them were not making the economically prudent move for fear of how it might play in Peoria (or, perhaps more accurately, New Haven, Cambridge and Palo Alto).
Oh what a difference a month makes. An article in the Recorder today chronicles the latest: firms are, yes, putting associate salaries on the chopping block.

Photographer's Note
Buda Büyük Ağrı Dağı 5137 mt
Mount Ararat (see below details on names) is a snow-capped, dormant volcanic cone in Turkey. It has two peaks: Greater Ararat (the tallest peak in Turkey, and the entire Armenian plateau with an elevation of 5,137 m/16,854 ft) and Lesser Ararat (with an elevation of 3,896 m/12,782 ft).
The Ararat massif is about 40 km (25 mi) in diameter. The Iran-Turkey boundary skirts east of Lesser Ararat, the lower peak of the Ararat massif. It was in this area that by the Tehran Convention of 1932 a border change was made in Turkey's favor, permitting her to occupy the eastern flank of the massif.[5]
Mount Ararat in Judeo-Christian tradition is associated with the "Mountains of Ararat" where according to the book of Genesis, Noah's ark came to rest. It also plays a significant role in Armenian nationalism and irredentism.

TORONTO, Feb. 7, 2017 /CNW/ – Rogers Communications and RYCOM Corporation have engaged in a strategic collaboration to accelerate Oxford Properties' Smart and Connected Building strategy, based on Cisco technology infrastructure. Working together, Rogers and RYCOM will implement the Cisco Smart Building platform across Oxford Properties' entire Canadian commercial and retail portfolio by the end of 2017, providing real-time value to improve tenant satisfaction.
Smart and connected building technologies, including the solution that Oxford will implement, provide tenants with greater control over their space. Data and insights gathered through connected solutions give property owners and tenants a deeper understanding of space utilization, energy consumption, security, and environmental and maintenance needs. Owners and tenants can ultimately use this intelligence to define their ideal environment for employees, customers, and business operations.
"The relationship between Rogers and RYCOM accelerates our ability to deploy our chosen Cisco Smart Building platform to transform our retail and office properties across Canada into smart and connected buildings – providing our tenants with the ability to rapidly leverage industry innovations to drive operational efficiencies within their space and ultimately improve their overall business yield," said Andrew McAllan, SVP, Oxford Properties Ltd. "Tenant expectations evolve daily, and we are wholly committed to continuing to invest in, demonstrate the benefits of, and innovate to be a leader in smart and connected buildings in order to meet and exceed the expectations of our valued tenants so that they are able to achieve outstanding business success in the short and long term."
"Our collaboration with Oxford Properties began over six years ago, and together we have made significant developments in testing, deploying, and refining Cisco Smart Building solutions in several high-profile Oxford projects, including our home in RBC WaterPark Place," said Bernadette Wightman, President, Cisco Canada. "As a result of our work together, our Cisco Toronto Innovation Centre has become a global showcase for smart building solutions, including converged HVAC and digital ceiling solutions. We look forward to continuing to work with Oxford and their partners as they deploy these innovations across Canada."
"As a long-standing, trusted advisor to Oxford Properties and the real estate industry, RYCOM is pleased to design, deploy, operationalize, and support Oxford's Smart and Connected Building strategy and Cisco-based platform," said Jennifer Sicilia, VP & GM, RYCOM Corp. "The platform provides Oxford with the ability to rapidly add solutions that bring competitive value to their tenants and the day-to-day operations of their properties, and will generate deep and relevant data insights that both the tenants and property staff can use to drive success. We are pleased to be part of the Smart and Connected Building strategy and to assist Oxford in curating the journey ahead."
"The corporate real estate sector has a huge opportunity to leverage smart, connected solutions to drive positive business outcomes, including a better customer experience and potentially new sources of revenue," said Nitin Kawale, President, Enterprise Business Unit, Rogers Communications. "We're thrilled to be working alongside our partners RYCOM and Cisco to deliver a Smart Buildings blueprint for Oxford Properties, and look forward to building on this work to support Oxford delivering more innovation and productivity in its business."
Today's announcement builds on Oxford Properties' existing relationship with Cisco, who situated one of its nine global innovation centres in Oxford's RBC WaterPark Place in downtown Toronto. Cisco's Toronto Innovation Centre focuses on building innovative solutions that support tenant needs in all real estate classes and transforming how buildings are designed, built, used, and operated. The success of the collaboration has led to further smart and connected building opportunities with the construction of the 100 Adelaide Street West building in Toronto and the Eau Claire Tower in Calgary, AB.
