Workplace concerns and disputes, including bullying in the workplace, can affect employees at any level in any profession or industry. The purpose of raising a grievance is to allow you, as an employee, to air any issues or concerns you may have about your work, such as treatment from colleagues or proposed changes to workplace policies or procedures. Your reasons for bringing a grievance at work may also be linked to other wider issues. In all such cases, tackling these concerns promptly is likely to prevent them festering and becoming more difficult to address later.
As many of us spend more time with colleagues at work than we do friends or family at home, bullying in the workplace can be a major issue. It can have a serious impact on your performance and health, and have significant consequences on staff morale and the working environment, so it should never be ignored. All employers should have a bullying policy in place to deal with any workplace bullying. If they do not, then the grievance procedure should be used.
Both employees and employers benefit from a workplace where grievances can be raised and dealt with properly, so maximising the likelihood of reaching a resolution.
The following are some of our most frequently asked questions when it comes to raising a grievance or complaining of bullying or harassment at work.
Before raising a grievance, you may wish to give some thought to whether it is an appropriate way of dealing with your concerns. If you are worried about proposed changes to certain working requirements or certain treatment you are receiving, you may wish to speak to your line manager directly about this and they may be able to explain why these changes are proposed without the need for a grievance.
However, in some circumstances you may feel such an informal approach is not appropriate and you should then raise your grievance in writing to your line manager as this allows everybody to understand your concerns. If your grievance relates to your line manager, you should raise your grievance with your line manager's supervisor or a more senior employee.
Depending on your situation, you could either pursue an informal or formal approach.
In some cases, a bully may not realise that they are causing you distress or upset and so speaking to them directly about it may alleviate the situation. In taking an informal approach, you would speak with your line manager or HR department about the bullying. They in turn should speak with the individual concerned, to help ensure the behaviour stops. If you feel able, you may find it helpful to speak with the bully directly. Some industries are more prone to having employees who engage in 'banter' and they may not realise they have stepped over a line and are being offensive towards you. A reasonable individual, on hearing the effect their actions or remarks have on you, would agree to stop.
Alternatively, if you are dealing with someone who is difficult to deal with or is deliberately behaving badly towards you, then you may need to pursue a formal process. In this case, you should ask for a copy of your employer's anti-bullying policy, and follow the procedure detailed within it. If there is no such policy, you should raise a grievance with your line manager in writing. Most employers will then start the process of investigating your complaint and holding a grievance hearing to enable you to explain what has been happening. If you feel a proper process has not been followed, you should seek legal advice.
Since April 2009, the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures has existed to establish best practice for both grievance and disciplinary issues. For grievance hearings, the Code helps parties understand what fair procedure should be adopted. While larger employers may have their own staff grievance procedures, they must still follow the basic principles of the Code:
First of all: do not panic! If you become aware that you have upset a colleague it may help to seek them out and apologise for any offence caused. More often than not, an apology is often all that a colleague is seeking. If the allegation against you is serious then speak to someone in HR before you approach the person.
However, if a formal grievance has been submitted, you should remain calm and prepare to put forward your position as part of the grievance process:
It is important to remember that you should not automatically face disciplinary action on the back of a grievance raised by a colleague. The grievance process and disciplinary process are entirely separate. If your employer upholds the grievance, your employer may then decide to raise disciplinary proceedings against you on the basis of evidence obtained during the grievance process. However, these are entirely separate procedures.
In terms of preparing for a grievance hearing, most of the requirements fall on your employer to ensure a fair hearing.
As the employee, you should ensure that you are clear on the issues which you have raised in your grievance. Where necessary, you should refer to any documents which illustrate your concerns or support your grievance. You should avoid introducing new concerns into your grievance at the hearing stage as this is likely to confuse matters further.
Finally, you may wish to make use of your right of accompaniment. If you are a member of trade union, you should ask your union for union representation. Or, you may wish to bring a workplace colleague, as long as they are not mentioned or involved in the grievance.
You will only have the right to be accompanied by a trade union representative or work colleague to your grievance hearing. This is because at a grievance hearing you will not be facing any risk of dismissal or disciplinary charges: the purpose of a grievance hearing is to air concerns and provide explanations; it is not to sanction the grievance-raiser.
When it comes to bullying or harassment with a sexual element, an informal approach is far less appropriate and you should speak immediately to your line manager or HR department.
You should raise a grievance in accordance with your employer's grievance or bullying policy. This will likely require your employer to launch an investigation into the comments made by your colleague and if your employer decides there is enough evidence that these comments were said or actions taken, you should be advised of the steps the company proposes to take to protect you from further upset.
One other key point to bear in mind with sexual harassment is that you may feel you cannot raise the issue with your employer as, for example, you worry you may lose face in the office, or will be ostracised, or that such behaviour is simply part of an office culture. Remember there is no place for sexual harassment in any workplace and you should consider getting legal advice if you feel that may help you in raising these concerns with your employer.

Rays-White Sox Preview
As the Tampa Bay Rays continue to make a push toward the postseason, the Chicago White Sox try to prevent their playoff hopes from slipping further away.
The visiting Rays look to extend their season-high winning streak to nine games when they continue their four-game set with the reeling White Sox on Friday night.
Evan Longoria hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth and three relievers held Chicago to two hits over 2 2-3 scoreless innings in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win Thursday. After losing seven of eight, the Rays (86-70) have won eight in a row to move within two games of Oakland for the AL's final wild-card spot.
"The belief has never gone away. We've felt like we had a good chance to be a playoff team from the beginning of the year,'' Longoria said. "The pressure is not on us playing from behind. It's not ours to lose, it's ours to win. We're behind, but we're close enough.''
While Tampa Bay is in the midst of its longest winning stretch since a 12-game run June 9-22, 2004, Chicago (82-74) has dropped three in a row and eight of nine to fall two games behind first-place Detroit in the Central.
"There ain't nobody to blame," said Jake Peavy, who allowed two runs in 7 1-3 innings Thursday. "I think everybody in here will take accountability for the way we've played.''
Batting .128 with runners in scoring position over the last 11 games, the White Sox have averaged 2.4 runs in their last nine.
"It hasn't worked for a little while," manager Robin Ventura said. "It's frustrating. It has to change. You just keep going."
Kevin Youkilis had three of Chicago's eight hits Thursday. The third baseman is batting .375 (9 for 24) in his last six games and is the only White Sox player to have faced Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson (9-10, 3.20).
Youkilis is 4 for 13 with a homer versus Hellickson, who is 2-3 in his last eight starts but has a 2.36 ERA during that stretch. The right-hander gave up five hits and struck out six in 5 2-3 innings of a 3-0 win over Toronto on Sunday.
Chicago counters with Gavin Floyd (10-11, 4.56), who is 4-1 with a 2.57 ERA versus Tampa Bay since he allowed four runs in three innings of a 6-2 home loss to the Rays in Game 4 of the 2008 AL division series.
The right-hander struck out eight over six innings but yielded all four of his runs in the sixth in Sunday's 4-1 loss in Anaheim.
Each of Longoria's two hits in 11 at-bats versus Floyd has left the park. The third baseman is 11 for 30 (.367) with two home runs and six RBIs during the Rays' winning streak.
It's uncertain if Tampa Bay catcher Jose Molina will return Friday after he missed a second straight game Thursday with a right quad strain. Molina is 9 for 17 with two homers and seven RBIs in his last six games.

Studio Sense: My take on integrated production
Tom Gibson of post-production facility Smoke and Mirrors offers his perspective on the advantages of integrated production and the creative opportunities it provides
I really enjoyed Glen Taylor's piece on integrated production in the Studio Sense supplement, I also enjoy Taylor James' work. Smoke and Mirrors has a similar model to theirs, so it's hard for me to write a piece on the same subject without feeling like I'm plagiarizing Glen! As I said, our model is similar but ours came about a different way so I'll talk about that.
Smoke and Mirrors is a post production facility, offering TV post production, TK, CGI, 2D, motion graphics, Grading, Flame et al…. Me and my motley crew of retouchers and CG ops rocked up a few years back, operating totally independently of the broadcast guys. When we moved to our Poland Street office we found ourselves sharing a space with Smoke and Mirrors' Studio. To quote their creative director Dan Andrews, "The Studio are a bunch of creative misfits, we're the square pegs surrounded by lots of nice round holes, the guys who geeked out on video games, vinyl and graffiti when they were at school and still do now! We offer VFX supervision, Art Direction, Design, 3D, Compositing, Illustration/Concept design, as well as offline editing. We can turn our creative minds to any project small or large and collaborate as much as needed on projects. A director recently described The Studio experience as "being back at art school, full of passion and creative ideas."
These guys really turned our heads, we saw the potential for cross over from our work which was heavily in the print world, to theirs in the moving image. Over the years we have all seen those lines blurring between still and moving image. We joined forces with 'The Studio' and have never looked back.
With the invention of digital out of home, all of a sudden art directors and creative's could make their posters move! We would have an agency creative working alongside one of our retouchers and they could see what was going on across the room, they would ask what these guys were doing and how did they go about taking their idea into this world of moving image? The answer is simple, tell us what you want to do and we'll do it!
Now, a few years into our integrated offering, CG artists who only ever focused on print renders are animating, animators who only ever used their CG software to animate are working on print campaigns. This isn't as simple as it sounds, the technical set ups for scenes in motion are different to print. The level of texturing is completely different, resolutions are wildly different but the way it has come together offers an amazing solution for clients. We are getting more briefs than ever that span both disciplines, with no pattern as to which medium leads which. That is great and shows that creative's aren't just coming up with one idea for a TVC and hoping they can squeeze some print out of it and vice versa. They are coming up with these ideas and talking to us about how to approach it to ensure optimum quality is obtained across the mediums. This is also encouraging as agencies of all sizes and shapes are starting think this way and we hope we can continue to give our 2 pennies worth!
With this integration obviously comes cost savings and we all know deep down that it's the bean counters who pull the strings! We can always look at the bigger picture and streamline workflows to offer cost savings and time efficiencies, but over and above that, I think having the whole thing under one roof makes life much easier for clients to manage their work and their clients expectations. The feedback we have had is that the simplicity of the offering is what really stands out for them. Sliding from one desk to another to review stills and motion, walking a couple of yards to a grading suite or a Flame suite, walking a few extra yards to the Star and Garter for refreshments. You're living the dream!
So into the future we go with some exciting work, some really forward thinking artists and with some luck and judgment (in equal measures!) some happy clients, who are really seeing the potential of a post production world where the leaders of industry are keeping ahead of the curve and making some fantastic content. The sky really is the limit, as technology evolves, lines of communication widen and boundaries are continually broken, lets go for it! Spread our wings and try new things. Flip things around and see how they work, deconstruct and reconstruct, it's a great feeling! Surely I'm not the only one who used to take their toys apart when I was kid? Only to not be able to put it all back together again. After punishment came a sense of rebellion and victory! Ok, the tape recorder will never play Guns n Roses again but man it felt good to see how that machine worked! My brother still hasn't forgiven me for ruining his roller skates, but I was convinced I could make them faster!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I've never been someone who goes crazy celebrating and much prefer an evening in then one out. One of my favorite ways to spend time with Jordan is to make something delicious and play games at home. As much as I love an adventure, I crave the undivided attention and opportunity to relax with each other among our busy (often opposite) schedules. This year I found was originally supposed to work all day but switched with a coworker last minute giving me an extra day off to celebrate. Last year Jordan and I spent Valentine's Day in both San Francisco and Los Angeles together. We figured California's two biggest cities would be hard to beat so we thought a more intimate celebration would be appropriate.
Opting for a night in rather than a night out doesn't confine you to watching a movie and falling asleep by 10:00pm. I always want a night at home to feel just as special as a night out. Simple switches turn a boring Sunday night at home into a special evening you can remember with your boyfriend/girlfriend. For example, instead of ordering pizza make your own! Pick out your favorite toppings, sauces and pre-made dough at the grocery store and have fun designing your own pizzas together. Bonus points if you're able to roll the dough into a heart shape! Take photos of your night even if they're blurry so you can remember this Valentine's day together for years to come.
If you have the whole day free celebrate by making brunch and eating it together in bed. A morning mimosa curled up under a cozy quilt next to the boy I love is an ideal way to start the day! Be creative, your Valentine's Day doesn't need to be all about dinner, a heart shaped box of chocolates and a movie unless you want it to be.
Likewise take the opportunity to dress up for the occasion. If you were going out for Valentine's Day dinner you'd use it as an excuse to pick up a cute new outfit (I know I would)! Yet, when we stay in we don't feel like we have the excuse to spend money on ourselves but you deserve to feel sassy and cute on Valentine's Day (and the rest of the year). Instead of slopping around the house in your tried and true old sweatpants from high school and your boyfriend's oversized sweaters try a sexier piece from Designer Intimates. I seize any chance to dress up in something new and outside the ordinary whether it's a cute new dress or a lace night gown and I swear the way I'm dressed contributes to my mood.
Frolicking around your house in a cute lacy set is half the fun. Skipping through the kitchen baking pizzas, eating ice cream and hopping back to the couch to play Dominos totally makes me feel like an underwear model on set (because I'm sure underwear models eat pizza and play games at work, what else would they do?).
Designer Intimates is a great shop for upgrading your pajama and lingerie drawer without feeling guilty about the cost. All three pieces I picked up totaled under $100 meaning there was money left over for Valentine's day celebrating (yay mimosas in bed). Whether you're a lingerie girl (see the great selection of lingerie here) or prefer comfy cozy pajamas (see wonderful options here) you can find something soft, special and sexy for Valentine's Day or anytime of the year. No fear, Your boyfriend doesn't need to feel left out! If you're going to upgrade your pajama drawer your valentine can too! Designer Intimates offers a men's section with underwear and pajamas for the man in your life.
Do you prefer lingerie or super comfy pajamas? I can't choose! I need both! How do you spice up a day or night at home?
***Disclosure: The lingerie pieces featured in this post were provided by Designer Intimates in exchange for an honest post of my choosing on The Fairy Princess Diaries. All opinions are 100% my own, I pinky swear.

Turkey Silhouette to Stitch for ThanksgivingTuesday, November 16, 2010
Here's an awesome last-minute project to stitch for Thanksgiving. This regal turkey with decorative corners is worked as a silhouette – an outline with a solid interior.
Work the free pattern in cross stitch using DMC Pearl Variations thread (which is also available in a 6-strand floss version) on CharlesCraft Gold Standard 14-count Ivory Aida. Only 2 skeins of Pearl Variations are needed for this project. I chose a pretty, Autumn-toned color, but the turkey would look equally pretty worked in red or blue DMC Six-Strand Embroidery Floss (redwork- or bluework-style).
Happy Stitching! ~Emma

The Supreme Court, Mahatma Gandhi And The Silly New Standards For Obscenity
In effect, The Supreme Court says that different, more stringent standards apply to speech related to personalities of the "historically respected" kind. They are entitled to more deference than the common man. It ends with the shocking line, "we do not intend to express any opinion that freedom of speech gives liberty to offend."

Productivity-Enhancing Reforms, Private Capital Inflows, and Real Interest Rates in Africa
The rise in economic growth in some countries of Africa over past two decades, powered mainly by productivity boom, has been associated with large private capital in.ows despite poor integration of the African countries with the world capital markets. While these countries lack access to world capital markets, they are nonetheless highly dollarized and allowing for this fact can explain large private capital in.ows and other stylized macroeconomic facts associated with the productivity-enhancing reforms in Africa. With a number of African economies poised to reap gains in productivity, as they return to stable and sound political and economic environment, the paper suggests the framework that can be used to understand the macroeconomic implications of and suggest appropriate policy responses to such gains in productivity.

This event is 21 and over
FUZZ is the new west coast trio comprised of Charlie Moothart (guitar), Roland Cosio (bass) and Ty Segall (drums, vocals). Ferocious, with a sludgy, psyched-out, proto-metal sound steeped in shredding fuzztone guitar, FUZZ more than lives up to its name. Comparisons to Blue Cheer, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Black Sabbath have been made and are not far off the mark. The band's two 7" singles sold out in about ten minutes each, while early live shows caused a frenzy and multiple cases of tinnitus on both coasts. Come October 1st, FUZZ is hitting the road and unleashing their self-titled, debut of the densest of rock 'n roll via In The Red.
CCR Headcleaner
"CCR Headcleaner may not have fallen on your radar yet, but these three long-time friends, with the new addition of bassist Mark Trisey, are no strangers to making the thrashy, noisy, spazzy jams San Francisco seems to love. Having been in the Hospitals, Long Legged Woman, and numerous other punk-influenced projects, these guys are pros at creating loud, fierce walls of sound. Their sonic output is also reflective of their distinct characters. One could describe both their music and the producers of it as disheveled, nonchalant, erratic and unpredictable, while also mirthful, sweet, and remarkably genuine." --SF Weekly

You Said a Mouthful! (Japanese: 史上最強のペリッパー現る!! The Greatest Pelipper in History!) is the tenth episode of the Advanced Generation series and the 284th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 30, 2003 and in the United States on December 13, 2003.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Ash and his friends arrive at an unofficial Gym, where, according to a billboard, it houses the world's most powerful Pokémon. Unable to pass up a challenge, Ash decides to challenge this Pokémon. As the gang arrives to the Gym, a Trainer is rushing his way out of there; stating with frustration that the Pokémon in question wasn't normal at all, making Ash's desire to defeat the world's most powerful Pokémon grow even bigger. As he makes his challenge, a Trainer named Anthony arrives to accept the challenge, along with his Pelipper. The rules of the battle are simple: Anthony will only use his Pelipper, while Ash may use as many of his Pokémon as he wished. Ash decides to lead off with Treecko against Pelipper. The battle unfolds normally, with Pelipper using Wing Attack, to which Treecko dodges effortlessly, but then Anthony suddenly tells Pelipper to use Vine Whip, which, as Max points out, Pelipper cannot learn (as he contends that Pelipper can only use Water and Flying-type attacks), but sure enough, a pair of vines manage to come out of Pelipper's mouth and trip up Treecko. Max becomes suspicious of Anthony's battling skills, while Ash is forced to withdraw Treecko for Taillow. Taillow seems to handle the battle pretty well and tries to attack with Peck, though, Anthony makes another suspicious move and orders Pelipper to use Flamethrower, which hits Taillow and knocks it out, much to the amazement of everybody (especially Max, who can't believe that Pelipper is able to use Fire-type moves.) Ash is down to Pikachu, who he warns to expect the unexpected. Sure enough, when Pikachu uses Thunder, Pelipper is directed to counter with its own Thunder, once again making Max suspicious. However, Pikachu manages to draw even against Pelipper.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is plotting to steal the Pelipper, and, as they put their plan into motion, they manage to make a Bellsprout fall from Pelipper's mouth as Anthony tries to defend Pelipper with Water Gun, Flamethrower, and Thunderbolt at the same time. Team Rocket learns of Anthony's "winning ways": Pelipper could perform the attacks because its mouth housed a Bellsprout, a Magby, and a Magnemite; and blackmail Anthony and Pelipper to cooperate on their latest Pokémon-stealing scheme.
At the Pokémon Center, as they are waiting for Ash's team to heal, Max is convinced that Anthony is cheating somehow, while May dismisses it as real-world not matching up with Max's book-smarts. When Trainers begin to pour in saying that their Pokémon have been taken by the world's most powerful Pokémon, Ash cannot believe that Anthony would stoop so low as to steal their challenger's Pokémon, though Brock suggests that Anthony had been coerced. Sure enough, when they arrive at the Gym, two promoters (Jessie and James) are promoting a challenge where challengers have to ante up a Pokémon against Pelipper, with the winner taking both Pokémon. As Ash accepts the challenge again to get to the bottom of the situation, starting with Pikachu; Jessie and James become worried, as Pikachu has beaten them numerous times before. As a precaution, Jessie and James load up more Poké Balls inside Pelipper, and then puts Meowth inside Pelipper as a "tactical controller".
As the rematch begins, Pelipper starts with Bellsprout's Vine Whip, which Pikachu manages to dodge. Meowth, inside Pelipper, then switches to Magby for a SmokeScreen, which soon finds its way into Pelipper's mouth, affecting both Meowth and Magby in addition to Pikachu. As Meowth brings back Bellsprout for a Razor Leaf, Max wanders off and manages to find Anthony, who confesses to having cheated by hiding Poké Balls inside Pelipper's mouth. Meanwhile, Meowth comes up with a plan to take down Pikachu: after dowsing it with a Water Gun, it can switch to Magnemite and fire off Thunder to deal more damage to a wet Pikachu. Because he cannot find any stowed Water Pokémon, Meowth chooses to instead use Pelipper itself to fire the Water Gun, but as he does so, Pelipper shoots water everywhere - at not only Pikachu, but Ash, Brock, May, Max, Anthony, Jessie, and James as well, exposing Team Rocket and the Poké Balls (and Meowth) inside Pelipper's mouth. As Team Rocket tries to make their getaway with the stolen Poké Balls, though, they are countered by Pelipper using Wing Attack to free their Poké Ball bag. When Team Rocket tries to take Pikachu as a last resort, Pelipper uses Water Gun to soak the balloon, allowing Pikachu to Thunderbolt through Team Rocket's electricity-proof suits, sending them flying.
The episode ends with Anthony closing up the Gym, and deciding to go straight with Pelipper, as Pelipper was powerful even without the Poké Balls in its mouth.

- Music from the first movie can be heard in this episode.
- Team Rocket use their Dugtrio trio clothes they used in an earlier episode.
- Max says Pelipper can only naturally learn Water and Flying-type moves. This is incorrect, as Pelipper can learn many Normal-type moves and a single Ice-type move by level-up, as well as Ice, Poison, Electric, Dark, Psychic and Steel-type moves through the use of TM, and even a Dragon-type move through breeding.
- During the fight between Pelipper and Pikachu, it was shown that Pelipper's mouth was heavy and filled with Poké Balls that Team Rocket had put in there for Meowth to choose the Pokémon. However, soon after Anthony's fraud is discovered, Pelipper's mouth seems back to normal.

A European Extra-Judicial Network, which allows consumers to solve cross-border disputes with e-commerce and distance selling retailers across the European Union, is to be operational by the end of this summer.
From forensic cyber to encryption: InfoSec17
Security technologist Bruce Schneier's insights and warnings around the regulation of IoT security and forensic cyber psychologist Mary Aiken's comments around the tensions between encryption and state security were the top highlights of the keynote presentations at Infosecurity Europe 2017 in London.

At a conference on the initiative in Lisbon, EU consumer affairs commissioner David Byrne formally announced that the system of national clearing houses, allowing consumers to seek compensation in any EU country via local out-of-court dispute resolution systems, would be operating "by the second half of this year".
An EU paper said that a "single, one-stop national contact point" should be established in each member state. It said this would help dissatisfied consumers make a claim to the out-of-court dispute resolution system in the country where the business is located from which the products or services were acquired.
Byrne said, "The EEJ-net marks an important milestone to give consumers access to simple, low cost and effective means of resolving cross border conflicts.
"I expect the EEJ-net to be a flexible and evolving structure that will accommodate new and diverse schemes as they develop, make use of new technologies and provide the most efficient and effective access to justice for consumers."

First of all and MOST IMPORTANT thing with her is Positioning. As her passive privides you with extra bonuses as the spells are casted at maximum range, using this will grant u a very usefull technique at every fight.
Dark Sphere, for example is Syndra's main & fastest spell as it refreshes every 3-4 secs, and it can be manipulated with Force of Will, Scatter the Weak, and of course her ultimate.
Force of Will, is extremely important when laning, and often it will be the first power to master because u can grab an alrready casted Sphere or an enemy minion, and throw it at a long range, doing great damage in long distances.
Scatter the Weak is a power that can work when attacking or defending. Why? Because it provides you with an stun if you can hit an enemy with and Sphere or you can know all enemies back in the range of the spell. Of course u can knock back and stun at the same time, though that is only recommendable when scapping, because you may lose them throw a wall... (Yeah it happened to me....).
Unleashed Power, hits 1 enemy champion with 3 balls plus all the balls that are arround Syndra when this spell is casted. It has a minimun damage and can be extremely powerful, i have reached damages of arround 900 (Magic Damage) without Void Staff.
Finally, u will find it really easy to farm minions because all of your spells (Except the ult) are in area.
As i mentioned before, Force of Will works with Spheres or minions.
The main tip with Syndra, or trick perhaps is: To Steal Blue.
It's pretty simple. My first back every game is at 6 mins (lvl 5 1/2 Approx). I buy the items i need and A WARD, i place it in the enemies blue golem and wait for 7:20 mins (Can change according to the enemy jungler) and as soon as the golem has about 300-200 life, i grab it with W, run away, drop him and kill him with Spheres and Scatter.
NOTE: As soon as u drop it, it will start healing and run towars his main position, so you must be fast!
AT TEAMFIGHTS, u can cast an sphere ramdomly, rush your ult towars the closest enemy and Scatter all the balls to stun the rest of the enemy champions, this is pretty difficult but a HUGE WIN if u are lucky enough.
Syndra's main problem are Melee fighters; Whenever a Melee champion approaches and you are not ready to fight, know it back and gain time, cause you will lose your passive bonuses and you cant run pretty fast to scape (305 basic, 375 with boots lvl 2). Remember that u lack of any Teleport like Kassadin or any movement of the kind.
Syndra's second problem are Nuke mages like Kassadin or LeBlanc. Syndra needs long fights to kill (Unless u are fed of course) and that's why facing Kassadin is a pain in the ***, anyway if you survive to the first rush of powers... u can Initiate your attack and kill the enemy with a correct Cast and Position.
Syndra, is pretty good against Ranged champions due to her passive and Supports, because they usually stay in the back. Ranged Champs like Ashe, can suffer a lot from Syndra's abilities making them suceptible during teamfights.
Items - Build 1
Well, this is basicaly an strong build that also allows u to stay in fight for a long time.
As soon as u start with Rod of Ages u can be pretty offensive with your Spheres as u have a pretty good store of mana and life. There is nothing to say about the Rabbadon's ... pure damage ... Rylai's is to maximize the slow u have with Force, and do some with the Sphere so it's easier to hit enemies, of course the extra hp is really useful too.
Abyssal Scepter and Viod Staff are to do some extra damage wiht Abyssal's & Void's Passives.
Items - Build 2
Perhaps u will suffer from some mana issues at first, as u have cd u cast faster and mana runs out really quickly. But u are much stronger in fights as u cast your Spheres with 2.64 secs and that allows u to create a massive damage in little time, and many combos faster. Here there isn't much to say... u cast fast, last long due to Rylai's and Will, and do lots of damage with Rabbadon's and the Void Staff, combined with theo ther items.
Items - Build 3
This is a neutral build, u have half of the allowed Cd (20% approx.) and a nice ammount of ap. Of course, Rylai's to last longer and do some slow while attacking.
Skill Sequence - Build 1
First of all this build is made considering "Dark Sphere" (Q) As the main power.
As soon as u run into an oponent the idea with this build would be the next:
-1) If u can surpirse your oponent u should cast an Sphere in the bush, then grab it with Force of Will and cast it to them, as u do that u stun him with Scatter of the Weak and cast and Sphere again. Later u hit ult and u should hit him with 5 balls.
-2) While laning u can do 2 things: *Cast an Sphere and stun the opponent with Scatter, use your ult (4 balls) and then Force of Will, Sphere again.
* Also u can cast an Sphere, grab it, hit the opponent, cast an sphere again and the Scatter, use ult and u can hit with 5 balls
* Or u can Cast an Sphere, grab it and hit him with Force, use ult (4 balls) use Scatter and Phere again. As u used Scatter after ult u have no chance of missing the stun and u can stun incoming enemies too.
**Always consider using Force to scape as u can slow the enemy, or cast an Sphere and use Scatter to stun and run.
Skill Sequence - Build 2
Here we have lots of Cd, therefore it will be really easy to dominate the lanes with Force of Will, here is what u can do:
*First of all, as u master Force of Will first, u can grab minions with no need of casting a previous Sphere, and due to the range it has u are free to hit without being harmed.
Strategies in fight will be the same, though u will be able to cast Force and Scatter much faster and that will give u a great advantage with a corret position.
Skill Sequence - Build 3
Here we should aim to improve Force aswell, since we can cast fast and with a nice range due to our CD and the mana Regen provided by Mana Manipulator. Therefore, casting Force to initiate the fight, then an Sphere close to u and Scatter to Stun will be pretty effective, and easy to repeat unless u miss Scatter.

I'm thinking of getting one. Do they work well on 9mm? Pros? Cons?
There are a few problems with the LnL case feeder and 9mm. The 9mm brass tends to occasionally create a blockage at the top funnel, and if you aren't paying attention it cause a brass rain. There are things you can do to minimize this happening, but I haven't been able to completely eliminate it. The pivot piece at the bottom of the drop tube on my unit galled and stopped working until I found a material called Rulon in tape form that I put on it a bearing surface. Others have not had this problem, so I guess depends on how tolerances stack up, etc. as to whether it will happen or not. On short brass, 9mm and 45 ACP I have had to make a skirt for the tube that drops the brass from the pivoting piece to keep the brass from bouncing off the sub-plate and falling off. Not a problem with longer brass like 38 special.
It is still faster and more convenient than inserting the brass by hand.
The design is flawed regardless of caliber. They can be made to run most of the time. WHy I tell folks; if you want a case feeder, get the 650, it's a better tool for less than $100 more.
They are flawed, and I am a Hornady fan. They have blockage issues with every caliber. Its manageable but a PITA. You still will be reloading quicker, you may just curse a few extra times.
The issue with the bowl is fixable. take the bowl off, elongate the holes in the plastic to reclock the opening on the bowl with the funnel. It needs to move about 1/4" to the left. The rest of the case feeder assembly (slider) is utter crap and not fixable. Get a 650.
It is fixable Steve, you need to be a bit of a machinist to do it though. My buddy has a LNL, case & bullet feeder. He probably has 40hrs+ of machine time into tweeking everything so it runs right. He has measured everything 10x & talked to the Hornady guys for hours too. He has made several small part mods for it that he should really sell to other LNL owners. It runs fine, almost as good as my 650. After all this, he is thinking about buying a buddy's almost new 650. HE bought the LNL before we knew each other, so I could never give him any wisdom on the pruchase, but he has it working the way he wants now, he'll never sell it.
I should buy another LnL and a mill.
Those "free bullets" sway a lot of people. I had to talk a coworker into not buying a LNL and getting a 550 instead.
Consider you don;t get the bullets you want, you get what they give you, & only 500, not a huge selling point to me. I want a machine that does what it is advertized to do. The LNL will but not w/o a bunch of tinkering w/ teh case feeder. No feeder, not a bad press.
All the expense of a Dillon, and twice the frustration of a Lee. They have some nerve painting it red. Lee produced a cheap reliable case feeder nearly 30 years ago and made it red. Hornady should have picked brown, or rust as those colors better represent the success of a LNL.
The press is great, its the bullet/Case feeder that are lacking.
@Fred, sorry I missed your post, just got back from WA state and I am trying to catch up with work etc. I swear if the world does not end on Friday I will make it out there. I meet up with BoxerGlocker in WA and he was telling me about IDPA, I have not lost the itch to do it.
For 9mm I actually really enjoy me LnL and have had no issues with the case feeder. Reloading .223/556 is another story. Jams all the time when dropping into the tube.

I chose Michael "King of Pop" Jackson for this project because he is an amazing icon to look up to and learn about. It was so cool to learn thing I never knew about Mr. Jackson before. Like how he leans all the was and he wont fall, well is because of his anti-gravity shoe he invented. Watching videos of Michael in Jackson 5 was amazing to him and then to see him all grown up and singing solo it makes me think that I can do anything just like him. He is my idol, my role model, my hero. Everything he had done was amazing. Some day I want to just like him and carry on his legacy.

Ever get a chocolate craving? Well I have some good news for you; just because it looks and tastes delicious, doesn't mean that it is bad for you! Chocolate (70% + cocoa) is rich with antioxidants, low in fat and high in manganese, magnesium copper and other nutrients including zinc, potassium, selenium and phosphorus.
So when I came across this scrummy recipe, I just had to share it with you! These choc coated banana bites are frozen so they can be stored for a couple of weeks in the freezer, - That's if you can resist eating them all at once!
- 2 Bananas (choose two that are ripe, yet firm)
- 100gm dark, 70% chocolate
- Crushed nuts of your choosing (hazelnuts work well!)
- Toothpicks
- Line a tray with greaseproof paper; opt for a tray that is appropriate for the freezer.
- Slice your bananas into thick, even circles and then lay them out flat on the tray., and then freeze for ½ an hour, so they are quite firm.
- Stick a toothpick in the centre of each one so that you can use it to pick it up (not all the way through!)
- Lay crushed nuts in a small bowl.
- Melt chocolate carefully in either a glass bowl set in boiling water, or a double boiler.
- Dip each banana piece into chocolate then roll over crushed nuts before setting back onto the tray.
- Return to freezer until they have set, then you can transfer them to a container so you can store them…. Unless there are none left to store!
- Enjoy!

D-Backs GM advocates intentional beanings, 'eye for an eye' mentality
During a radio interview on Tuesday, Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers said he wants his pitchers to intentionally hit more batters.
The Diamondbacks became something of a punchline last offseason as GM Kevin Towers and his coaching staff made it clear they were emphasizing "gritty" and "high-energy" players. The Justin Upton-Martin Prado trade stands out the most, but the Chris Young and Stephen Drew deals were also byproducts of the team's philosophy.
Apparently grit and energy aren't enough anymore. During a radio appearance on Tuesday, Towers expressed frustration with his team's lack of retaliatory hit batsmen -- he said his pitchers don't hit enough players intentionally. Here's a snippet of the interview, courtesy of Adam Green at Arizona Sports:
"You'd think the GM comes down and makes it a point to talk to the staff about it that at we need to start protecting our own and doing things differently," he said. "Probably a week later [Paul Goldschmidt] gets dinged, and no retaliation. It's like 'wait a minute.'
"Not that I don't take any of our guys from a lesser standpoint, but if Goldy's getting hit, it's an eye for an eye, somebody's going down or somebody's going to get jacknifed."
Alright, Towers is frustrated his pitchers don't retaliate when their star player is hit. I can understand that to some extent but it is definitely not something a GM should say publicly. Advocating retaliatory beanings on the radio isn't the smartest move, even if you say you're not looking to hurt someone (which he did). I imagine Towers will hear from MLB officials pretty soon. The union can't be happy hearing an executive say his team doesn't hit their members enough.
But wait! There's more. Towers acknowledged pitching coach Charles Nagy was let go on Tuesday partly because he didn't order his staff to hit more batters. He also indicated he'll look to get rid of any pitchers who don't buy into the team's macho approach:
"Some of them, contractually, it's tough to move," he said. "But I think come spring training, it will be duly noted that it's going to be an eye for an eye and we're going to protect one another.
"If not, if you have options there's ways to get you out of here and you don't follow suit or you don't feel comfortable doing it, you probably don't belong in a Diamondbacks uniform."
The ironic thing is that Towers traded away Ian Kennedy at the trade deadline in July, after Kennedy established himself as one of the the game's most notorious plunkers in recent years. He led baseball in hit batsmen last season and since breaking into the league full-time in 2010, Kennedy is third among all pitchers in hit batters.
I understand players have to protect their teammates and all that. I think that's mostly silly -- especially among fans, who seem to want retaliation for every hit-by-pitch regardless of intent -- but when you hear something like this ...
"I was sitting behind home plate that game and when it showed up on the Diamondvision of stuffing bananas down their throats, I felt like we were a punching bag," Towers told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "Literally, if I would have had a carton of baseballs I would have fired them into the dugout from where I was sitting behind home plate.
"That's not who we are as Diamondbacks, that's not how -- I mean, it's a reflection on Gibby, on myself, on our entire organization. They slapped us around and we took it."
... it makes me think there's something deeper going on here. Towers comes off as thinking his club isn't tough enough, and maybe that's the case. It does take a certain level of physical and (especially) mental toughness to succeed at baseball, but a GM endorsing an "eye for an eye" approach and coming out and saying he was so aggravated with his club's behavior he "would have fired [baseballs] into the dugout" to set them straight? That's a problem. It's one thing to want gritty and high-energy players, this is another matter entirely.

Having 2 or 3 wives is legal in some Countries/Religions. I've read so many articles about How to have a successful marriage, but haven't read anything about a Polygamous one.
sort by best latest
Most of the information you'll find on harmonious poly relationships online are going to be for Polyamory.
Polyamory is a fairly new concept coming about in the 1970's and only becoming known in the "mainstream" in the last 5 years.
Polyamory means one person (of either gender) having more than one relationship- whether sexual, emotional or spiritual. Polygamy is one man having more than one wife. Polyandry is a woman having more than one husband.
Multiple relationships require trust, honesty and open communication from all partners. There can be no resentment between partners lest strife come about and then relationships break down.
Really the fundamentals of multiple relationships are the same for monogomous ones. Balancing time between many different partners gets a little trickier but if you are open with all people involved you will usually be able to figure things out.

V. Stiviano Professes "Love" For Donald Sterling, Calls His Wife Shelly "Evil Witch of the West" (PHOTO)
V. Stiviano is back, and she's professing her love for disgraced former Clippers owner Donald Sterling, while also taking a few shots at his estranged wife Shelly. On Tuesday, Stiviano posted a photo to Instagram of the pair saying that she "will forever" be his "Angel" (see right).
"I will forever be your ANGEL. Don't let the evil witch of the west Rochelle (Shelly) Sterling suck the living life out of you," writes Stiviano. "I'm here for you. I've always been here. I'm not going anywhere." In the picture, Stiviano is seen wearing a white bikini top and matching pants with angel wings while Sterling is in a tuxedo and black mask.
"I'm turning the other cheek while unveiling the truth. Mask the pain with LOVE and compassion for thy enemy," continues Stiviano, adding, "When things get hard wear the visor and let your tears of joy flow. There's nothing you can't handle. Don't give up on life now."
In the lengthy Instagram post, Stiviano says, "You know the truth and that's all that matters. This too shall pass. I LOVE you. I've learn from some of the best people in the world. Lucky and very bless and so it is." Stiviano made headlines last year when she secretly recorded Sterling making offensive and racist remarks. The audio was leaked to TMZ, resulting in Sterling being forced to sell the Clippers and banned for life from any NBA involvement. What do you think about Stiviano's new Instagram picture with Sterling?

The driver of a C-Tran bus that struck and killed a pedestrian last December had been involved in five previous accidents during his 17-year career, according to police investigation reports released Friday.
Al Purvis, though generally regarded as an above-average driver, received counseling or retraining following four minor accidents between 2001 and 2009, according to the report. He received 10 days' suspension for a 1995 accident that caused more than $14,000 in damage — but no injuries — and was suspended for three days the following year for making an illegal U-turn and deviating from his route.
After the December accident, C-Tran officials told Vancouver Police Department investigators that Purvis is a good driver who is committed to safety and would "actively report issues to safety personnel as they arose," according to the police investigation.
On Dec. 2, Purvis was driving the No. 4 route through downtown Vancouver when his bus struck and killed Margaret McCluskey, 88. Purvis was making a left
turn from Eighth Street onto Washington Street, heading south, when the bus hit McCluskey as she crossed Washington.
McCluskey died instantly. Purvis was not charged with a crime. He remains on paid leave until C-Tran wraps up its own investigation of the incident, said Scott Patterson, the agency's public affairs director. Once it concludes, C-Tran will decide whether to discipline Purvis. The agency had been waiting on the police reports to finish its own process, Patterson said, which now may happen in the next couple weeks.
"That's pretty much the last piece of information," he said.
Police reports describe Purvis as visibly shaken, even in shock, immediately after the December accident. Vancouver Police Cpl. Mark Hochhalter, among those who initially responded, found Purvis standing near the stopped bus. Hochhalter asked for Purvis' driver's license. "However his hands were trembling to such an extent that it took him an extra couple of seconds to comply," according to the corporal's written summary.
Purvis later spoke with officer Ron Rose in a private office near the accident scene. He told Rose that he swung the vehicle out wide toward the right lane of Washington Street — as No. 4 buses often do — anticipating the next stop a block away. Part way through the turn, Purvis said, some passengers yelled that he had hit someone. One woman yelled, "Oh my God! Oh my God!"
Purvis immediately stopped the bus, got out and saw McCluskey under the bus. He called his supervisor, then told McCluskey help was on the way. There was no response.
Purvis was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident, according to police. He told Rose he had gotten a "good, solid" six hours of sleep the night before the accident.
Several witnesses reported seeing McCluskey — who was walking east toward the front of the bus — before she was struck. A reenactment of the accident later suggested that Purvis' view may have been blocked by a pillar supporting the bus' front windshield.
Ashes spread at sea
Though police have finished their investigation of McCluskey's death, the grieving process for her family continues. Relatives traveled to the Northwest from across the country this month to spread her ashes at sea, said Amy Erickson, McCluskey's daughter who lives in New York state.
Erickson said last week she and others appreciated the initial response from the Vancouver community following her mother's death. But she feels frustrated that there were no charges filed, she said, and over the lack of acknowledgement to the family from C-Tran.
Before the last several months, Erickson said, "I didn't have a good concept of how important it is for a survivor to feel a sense of recognition."
McCluskey, a retired journalist and Peace Corps volunteer who lived in the Esther Short Commons building downtown, was deeply involved in the local community. Erickson said her family often heard stories of the people her mother met, the places around her, the bookstores she browsed, down to the smallest detail.
"She loved the Northwest," Erickson said, later adding: "She was someone who was just interested in everything."
