Rabbi's Kidney Donation Inspires Community
When the opportunity arose for Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Ephraim Simon to potentially risk his life in the preservation of another's, he paused. He wanted to give one of his kidneys to a suffering man; the problem was that he had to think about how he would communicate that decision to his nine children.
So in July, Simon, co-director of Friends of Lubavitch of Bergen County in Teaneck, N.J., gathered his family around him.
"As emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe," he told them, referring to Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, "we dedicate our lives to helping other people."
He went on to describe the terminally-ill man he had met earlier, a father of a large family just like theirs.
"By tatte giving him a new kidney, he will live, G‑d willing. This is our gift to him and you are all a part of it."
Waiting for News
Simon's journey from community leader to organ donor – the operation took place exactly one week ago – began last year when the 41-year-old rabbi opened a mass e-mail from a woman trying to arrange a kidney donation for a potential recipient. A 12-year-old Jewish girl with the same blood type as Simon's was succumbing to a terrible disease, and desperately needed a new kidney. The rabbi decided to respond.
"I have a 12-year-old daughter, too," explains Simon from his home, where he's in the midst of a two-week recovery period. Having never considered donating an organ in the past, "I was moved to consider testing for her."
"Let's see what it entails, and then make a decision," came the reply from his wife, Nechamy Simon, when he brought it up.
After a few days of intense research, and a careful risk-benefit analysis together, the Simons reached out to the sender of the e-mail, a Jewish woman by the name of Chaya Lipschutz, offering one of the rabbi's kidneys if he matched as a candidate.
"I cannot let a young girl die, and not do anything," Simon told Lipschutz.
But the woman informed him that "a donor has already been found."
Many people would have understandably felt relief at the realization that they wouldn't be called upon to undergo major surgery. Simon, however, saw things differently.
"I felt like I didn't act fast enough," he recalls. "I knew right then and there that if somebody else was in need, I was going to be the one to save their life."
According to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, more than 80,000 people nationwide are waiting for a healthy kidney. But last year, more than 4,500 lost their fight for life while waiting.
Simon told Lipschutz, a former kidney donor herself, to keep his name on file and to contact him if another person was in need.
Two months later, the woman called back with news that a 35-year-old mother of two needed a kidney. Simon immediately agreed to undergo tests at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y., where the woman was being treated. He wasn't a match.
Then in February, Lipschutz called yet again to ask Simon if he would give his kidney to a single Israeli man in his 30s.
"It wasn't for a young girl, or for a mother of two," says Simon, "but one cannot weigh one life over another."
The rabbi underwent his third series of tests at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. In the weeks that followed, Lipschutz informed him that should he not be a match for the Israeli man, another person on her list was in dire need of a kidney.
As it turned out, Simon was not a match, but he immediately went to another hospital to undergo tests for the other man, a Satmar Chasid from the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn and a father of 10.
A Meeting of Two Souls
At the kidney clinic of Cornell University, as the rabbi was on his way to have his blood tested, the critically ill man came down the hallway, heading in the opposite direction.
"Excuse me," said the man, who had heard that a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary had volunteered to donate his kidney. "Are you the one testing for me?"
The two chatted briefly. The man showed Simon pictures of his family and told him a little about the genetic disease that had killed several of his relatives and was destroying his kidneys. Simon assured him that if he were a match, he would go through with the procedure.
A few hours before Passover, both men received the news they had been waiting for. Simon was busy preparing for the communal Seder at his Chabad House when the hospital called.
"Rabbi," a voice on the other line began, "you are a match."
Although he and his wife kept it between themselves, their Seder for more than 100 people took on new meaning for them both.
Immediately following the holiday, Simon called the transplant coordinator at the hospital to set up a series of examinations to assess his fitness physically, emotionally, and mentally as an organ donor.
On May 18, he received the go-ahead. In consultation with the recipient, Simon opted to schedule the surgery immediately following the conclusion of his Camp Gan Israel preschool summer camp.
At Shabbat services that week, he broke the news to his congregation. Seeing his community members as his own family, he wanted to explain to them why he was taking the risk.
Every single person is important, he told them. If an individual is lacking, it is everyone's job to help him or her. So "in a few weeks, a critically ill Jew in need of a healthy kidney in order to survive will receive one of mine."
Tears welled up in some of the worshippers' eyes. One man rushed to the front of the synagogue to embrace his rabbi.
One woman says that because of the rabbi's sacrifice, she doesn't feel uneasy anymore when surprise Shabbat guests show up. She now happily prepares extra food.
"I initially had a mother's natural reaction," reveals Judy Simon, 61, who at first was very concerned about her son's long-term health. "But after doing research, I realized that there is no reason to be."
After a "heart-warming" meeting with the recipient's family at the hospital during the procedure, the mother says that it's "incredible to have a child do this altruistic thing. I feel so honored and blessed to be part of it and to say he is my son!"
Simon went to Cornell University Medical Center the day of the surgery carrying letters and pictures from his nine children. When the anesthesia wore off and he awoke in the recovery room, his wife read the letters to him.
In another room, the recipient was doing so well, that a doctor remarked that if he didn't know better, he "would have said this kidney came from a brother."
"I told my children that G‑d could have easily made me ill, and I would have been the recipient," he says. "Thank G‑d, I was blessed with a healthy family. What better way to thank Him than to use my own health to help somebody else?"
Simon's eldest daughter, 14-year-old Chaya, says her father's deed reminds her of a parable she once learned.
"Saving one life is like saving a starfish," she says. "Even though you cannot save every single starfish, each one that you pick up from the sand and throw back into the sea is a life saved."
Looking back at the ordeal, Simon – who is quick to emphasize that his wife had as much a hand in donating "their" kidney as he did – hopes that more people will step up and give the gift of life.
"My sacrifice is just a few days of discomfort," he says. "The reward of saving a man's life, giving a father his life back, giving a family their father and husband back, outweighs all the risks.
"Not everyone can donate a kidney," continues the rabbi. "But everyone can reach out to help another person."

I donated a kidney My sister Laura Amador and I have been apart of a , coast to coast, kidney paired exchange program involving a altruistic donor, Max Zapata. It is absolutely incredible there are individuals with a high degree of self-sacrifice to donate a kidney to anyone, giving a gift of life; a second chance to live. My sister and I have a website www.dancefordonors.org
Donation I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Baruch Hashem G-d Bless you! You certainly did a very caring deed for the man. I am honored to have read your unconditional giving!
Kidney Donation What you did will elevate your whole family.. It was the biggest Mitzvah I can think of. It is very easy to open a wallet and take out some bills but sacrificing a part of yourself to save another is beyond huge. May you live an long, healthy and happy life..
May G-d bless you for the great mitzvah.
I was very inspired by your sacrifice. I contacted the organization to donate a kidney as well. My donation will be in your merit.
Thank You,
Baruch HaShem
My G-d, I am in tears!!! G-d will pour rivers of blessings over your beautiful children, your wife and you. Rabbi Simon, your act of loving kindness sounds like a thunderstorm in my spirit. I admire you!!!!!!!!!!!
G-d bless you bountifully
A wonderful Mitzvah
May G-d bless you for the great mitzvah you did and may G-d keep you and your family in the best of health all your lives until 120! Amen.
There is only one thing I am thinking of. What if (G-d forbid) anything should have happened to you and you would have left your family without a housband and father. How difficult for Nechamy to raise all the children by herself. Have you considered that? I am really happy that all went fine.
You are a true Chossid WOW. That's all I can say. There are no words.
Wow ! R' Efraim and Nechomy, We know from first hand experience what incredible ahavas yisroel (love of one's fellow Jew) you guys have. Now, it's a real honour and pleasure to be considered your friends.

You are a real hero
Rabbi Simon and Family
What a deed , What a sacrifice , a jewish family such as yours is not only setting a live example , but even more to so selflessly go through all that pain is just amazing.
May G-d bestow upon you and your family , all that you pray for and want , thats the least you deserve.
With Admiration and Respect
His family They are such an amazing family. His 12 year old daughter is my friend, and she is also a true inspiration.
Dear Rabbi, what you did was a great mitsvah. I would love to be part of the kidney transplant liist. That would be a mitsvah for me.
Thank you,
kidney rabbi simon and nechamy, you are an inspiration...may G-d bless your endeavor and continue to bless your family and shlichus
Lovely I love this family for being so cute and holy.
A great Mitzvah
To Rabbi Simon, wife and family,
What an amazing act of kindness towards a fellow Jew!
I recently donated a kidney to a woman whom I don't know and have not yet met.
I encourage others to donate a kidney and prolong another Jew's life.
Check out the following 2 websites:
amazingly beautiful and touching...
I had a rough pregnancy and my baby made it. For my husband's and my next wedding anniversary, we wanted to do something special so we signed up to be a donor (a friends who'd lost a son to kidney failure did a drive in her little guy's name.)
Neither of us have been called. but we update every year with the national group that keeps tabs. (This is important.)
Great job, rabbi! Your family is sweet!
Great article! It brought tears to my eyes.
37 year old woman with 2 little kids - HELP!

Imperial Vic, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler, made a sparkling debut over fences at Perth in May and was having his first subsequent start when just touched off by Green Flag at Kelso last month. Cappa Bleu is no doubt beginning his preparation for another crack at the Grand National, where he finished a brilliant runner-up last season, though he did land a strong handicap at Haydock on his reappearance in 2011. Rebeccas Choice needs a thorough test of stamina which he should get here but Vintage Star is more of a threat and would go close if his jumping has been ironed out during the summer. BUDDY BOLERO has the potential to make a very useful staying chaser and started favourite in a Grade 3 handicap at Ascot on his reappearance but was an early faller. This should prove within his capabilities before going on to better things.

John Force Racing press release
READING, PA --- John Force continued his mastery of Maple Grove Raceway today posting track record times in the first qualifying session on Saturday. His opening run of 4.011 seconds at 319.22 mph had both ends of the track record until Johnny Gray snagged the top spot by one thousandth of a second. Gray now has the track ET record but Force holds onto the mile per hour record. Force will go into race day as the No. 2 qualifier but in a better position thanks to Gray's effort.
Had Force remained No.1 he potentially could have run teammate Mike Neff in the second round, assuming both JFR Funny Cars won in the first round. Since he was bumped back to No. 2 now the earliest he could reach a teammate could be the semi-finals.
"I have had a really good race car so far this weekend. I just have to go some rounds tomorrow. We are not out of this. I am going to fight until Pomona for this championship. Castrol, Ford, Auto Club, Mac Tools and BrandSource pay us to perform and Mike Neff and Robert (Hight) have done a lot of damage and this weekend I did some damage," said Force. "I want to congratulate Johnny Gray, that was a great run and we were going for it too. We can get three of my Mustangs to the semis and two cars to the finals if we go some rounds. That is what I plan on doing."
In the final run of the night with improving conditions Force's Castrol GTX HIGH MILEAGE Ford Mustang was tuned up to make a record run. Unfortunately like so many attempts at record runs this one ended in tire smoke at about 200 feet.
"The conditions were there and we were going for it. It almost went. John has been doing a great job these past two days driving this Castrol GTX HIGH MILEAGE Ford Mustang. Ron (Douglas) and I are glad we have given him a good race car. We will be ready for tomorrow," said Dean Antonelli, Force's co-crew chief.
Season long points leader Mike Neff continued to fine tune the performance of his Castrol GTX Ford Mustang. While Matt Hagan made up some ground in qualifying and now has a two point lead over the driver/tuner, Neff is confident going into Sunday.
"I am going to pick this thing up a little bit for tomorrow. We will be up for the fight. We have had killer conditions this weekend," said Neff. "We are going to try and go some rounds tomorrow. That is the key. Tomorrow is a new day and we are going to set this Mustang up to do what we need it do. We will step it up and get it to run low ohs consistently tomorrow."
Neff will have long-time friend and veteran Funny Car driver Jim Head in the first round.
Robert Hight and his Auto Club Ford Mustang could make a big impact on the point standings tomorrow. He will match-up with Ron Capps in the first round and he could potentially face Matt Hagan in the second round. Knocking out two team Schumacher Funny Cars in the first round could turn around the 2009 Funny Car championships season.
"Today was tough. We are working some things out obviously. This is a team effort and Mike Neff has been talking with Jimmy. Our goal is to go rounds," said Hight. "It has been a while since we won first round in the Countdown but I plan on changing that tomorrow. I am going to be at the top of my game and I know I'll have a good race car. This is crunch time and if we want to make a move up the points we have to win first round tomorrow. I've got Ron Capps and he has had a good race car so we will have to bring our A game."

Greetings! I'm currently traveling around the UK for work, and of course, being the lingerie addict I am, I made sure to leave time for exploring the lingerie scene here. I'll warn you in advance that all the photos are cell phone quality since I didn't bring my camera out shopping, so please bear with me :).
I was so darn excited to have the opportunity to try on tons of bras in my size in person. I've become so accustomed to online shopping at this point that I essentially have it down to a science (hehe). It goes something like this:
- Spend tons of time online lusting over gorgeous lingerie.
- Check my favorite lingerie retailer websites at least a few times per week.
- Search for reviews, measurements, and best prices before deciding to make a purchase.
- Put multiple items in my cart, admire them, and grab my credit card.
- Feel guilty about spending hundreds on lingerie that probably won't even fit and put the credit card back in my wallet.
- Repeat steps 1-5 a few times.
- Finally order a few sets of lingerie and await them with extreme excitement.
- Tear open the package(s), try everything on, and send back 75-100% of the items.
- Get very disappointed. Repeat all steps above about once every two months.
The problem with this strategy is that I never really try on enough bras to get a feel for what I need and want, since I don't like to drop $500 on lingerie in one go, even if I will be returning most of the products. I have tried to shop in a few brick-and-mortar stores in the US but have not had the best of luck. Aside from the Eveden factory store, I have not been to a single store that carries 28 bands, and I can only really wear a 30 if the band is quite firm, which is mostly a hit-or-miss adventure.
The three lingerie stores I visited in London were Debenhams, Boux Avenue, and of course, Bravissimo. I was basically in bra heaven! Let me tell you a little bit about each store.
Bravissimo carries all of our favorite full-bust British lingerie brands (Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate, etc.) and Pepperberry is the full-bust clothing counterpart. The clothing and lingerie is upstairs and the fitting rooms are downstairs. The store is very basic - no frills, just lingerie. The store isn't very large and neither is the selection. During my visit, the staff encouraged me to let them know if I needed another size from the back room. There were quite a few sets that I loved, but unfortunately, not very much was available in my size, even in the back room.
I ended up purchasing the very lovely Cleo Marcie in size 30F and matching panties in UK size 8. My overall experience at this store was fairly neutral. There were not many things in the store that I haven't seen on Amazon or at Nordstrom, and I was fairly disappointed in the lack of options in my size. I was told that my size is fairly common among women in London, explaining the low stock.
I visited this large department store both in London and in Dundee. In London, almost everything was sold out in size 30F, so I was pleasantly surprised to see another store in Dundee right next to my hotel and thought I'd give it another go.
I was amazed at the sheer size of the lingerie department - one of the biggest I have seen, ever! The store is divided into A-DD and Fuller Bust sections, making it fairly easy to find what you're looking for. The beauty of this store is that in addition to the usual Freyas and Panaches, they carry their own line called Gorgeous by Debenhams.
The A-DD Gorgeous styles are different from the Fuller Bust styles, kind of like Ewa Michalak's S/3D and 3DM/SM divisions. The line is very reasonably priced, coming in at around 15-25 GBP (about 25-45 USD). It also helped that everything was 20% off when I went. The selection is absolutely enormous and there are a ton of very cute bras, sexy, and plain bras. Debenhams has the feel of your average department store lingerie section, but with a ton of variety and a huge size range. I would compare it to a Lord & Taylor or Nordstrom.
I was on the hunt for a strapless bra and also a regular skin-colored moulded t-shirt bra. Unfortunately, almost all of the t-shirt bras were horribly ill-fitting on me. I must have tried on over 50 bras, between the two stores I visited. The 30E's were too small in the cups but had decently fitting wires; the 30F's were a better fit in the cups but with huge, overly wide wires that dug into my armpits. I've learned that most moulded bras look horrible on me now and collapse at the bottom - I think aside from the Freya Deco, I'll have to stick with regular padded and unpadded cups.
However, I found an absolutely amazing strapless bra. It's both sexy and functional and actually has enough projection for my augmented breasts. The bands of almost all of the 30's at Debenhams run pretty firm in my opinion, so the scarcity of 28 bands at the store did not particularly bother me. Overall, I liked this store very much.
Boux Avenue
I would describe this shop as a mix of Victoria's Secret and Aerie. Compared to Bravissimo and Debenhams, it has a very girly and inviting atmosphere. Of the three stores I visited, Boux Avenue had the most warm and welcoming staff. I didn't have time to take pictures, since I got there less than half an hour before close, so I apologize for that.
The styles of bras are quite similar to VS and Aerie as well, but with a much wider size range (yay!) The primary cuts of bras are varieties of moulded cups, which as mentioned above, are usually horrible on me. However, I absolutely loved the swimsuit collection and ended up purchasing an adorable set. It's the first time I've found a bra-sized swimsuit that doesn't actually look too much like a bra.
If I had to point one key difference between US and UK lingerie shopping, aside from the obvious difference in size range, it would be the general attitude of the salespeople. In the US, whenever I enter a lingerie store, I am immediately flooded with salesgirls that try to measure me and suggest sizes without my solicitation of their services. If I mention my size, they look at me like I have two heads.
Here in the UK, the salesgirls range from neutral to friendly, but they trust that you are capable of shopping on your own and simply let you know that you can ask them if you need another size or a fitting. I can't comment on how well they measure, since I didn't need to be sized, but they did not have the attitude that they know your size better than you do. They did not bat an eyelid when I asked for an F cup in a 30 or 28 band and I never felt ashamed or pressured into buying something that didn't fit.
How I wish that US stores would adopt this attitude! It would make things so much easier. Next on my list is to visit the lingerie mecca that is Poland!
Have you shopped in the UK before? What was your experience like?

Akali 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.
Hello, and welcome to my extensive guide on Akali - The Fist of Shadow
First off, I'd like to say thanks to Searz for the awesome guide format! You can find it here. He helped me create this awesome guide! Thanks man! :)
Akali is one of my favorite champions to play: she's very versatile and shines in Team Fights as well as a 1v1 with an enemy champion.
Anyway, this is my first guide on mobafire, so please give me something to work with so I can improve.
Pros and Cons
Pretty good harass early game
Massive nuking ability
Able to take a position in any lane or take the jungle
Great ganking ability
No mana :D
Great chasing ability
Semi-difficult solo before hitting level 6
Usually gets focused relatively quickly
No real escape ability
Super squishy before Rylia's
Stuns/slows are usually lead to death if caught out of position
Abilities In-depth Review
Akali's abilities make her the assasin-like nuker that she is. So lets take a look, shall we?
The two parts of the passives gives Akali the ability to sustain well. The extra spell vamp stacks well with Hextech Gunblade. More will be explained about how this passive gets really important later in the guide.
Mark of the Assassin has 2 main uses:
- Used as her main farming ability early game, as well as the main part of her nuke (along with Shadow Dance)
- Used to help nuke/harass enemy champions.
You usually do not want to last hit with Mark of the Assassin unless you're going against someone who can zone Akali really well, such as Caitlyn, Kennen, or Ashe to name a few. Why is this, you might ask? Because you don't want to waste the energy when you can get it back from activating the mark. Not only does it do damage, but restored energy when the mark is activated. Now, I'm not saying that you can't last hit with it. All I'm saying is that you never know when you might need the energy.
The most important part of Mark of the Assassin is its damage output. It has a very nice ap ratio, as well as the ability to do a HUGE amount of damage in a short amount of time. Many people tend to underestimate Akali's strength, so punish them by bursting them down before they even have time time to say, "Have you seen my bear, Tibbers?"
This ability is Akali's most important defensive feature (though it does have its uses in being offensive).
Defensive tactic: Twilight Shroud should PRIMARILY (I stress this) for escaping agro, crowd control, etc. Since Akali tends to get focused quickly, dropping into her "bubble" (as I like to call it) before getting really focused. This is also a very helpful ability for juking your enemies. Here's a good example of it:
Offensive tactic (not recommended): Twilight shroud's slow is helpful, but you're more efficient getting your Mark of the Assassin or Crescent Slash off to do some damage. You can also use your Twilight Shroud face check (walk up to bushes to see if any enemy champions are lurking in the brush) without much consequence... notice the MUCH. Be careful if you decide to face check (you never know what might be waiting for you).
Great for farming large creep waves because it hits all (I repeat: ALL) enemies in the range of your Crescent Slash.
Now something to remember while chasing: lets say you're chasing an enemy and are bursting them down pretty well. You've Shadow Danced up to them, are now out of charges on your Shadow Dance, and only have enough energy for your Crescent Slash or Mark of the Assassin. You'd much rather get a mark from Mark of the Assassin on your victim than trying to desperately spin in circles trying to do damage. You have a much higher chance of catching up to your victim with your item build/summoner spells to activate the mark. If your spin doesn't kill them, you're going to be left in the dust by your enemies and the will surely LAUGH AT YOU for your failed attempt to pursue them.
BEHOLD! AKALI'S MOST IMPORTANT SKILL! *insert epic music here...*
- Charges take time to regenerate (either in seconds or kills/assist); don't spam them too much or you'll be stuck in the middle of your nuke/chase and render yourself unable to complete it.
- Use the element of surprise! Jump out of a bush to an unsuspecting enemy. Hopefully this will catch them off-guard, which is exactly where you want them to be.
- Great chase/flee mechanism. But still remember: you only get 3 at a time! Keep that in mind when pursuing or fleeing.
Which to max first?
I go for my Q ( Mark of the Assassin) first because of the extra damage and farming ability. By level 2, champions get stronger (obviously). I grab my Twilight Shroud because Akali is still squishy and it's also good to have a free, temporary "cover" to protect you from champion and minion focus. I then move to level up Mark of the Assassin as fast as possible because of the insane amount of damage you do with it. Next I max my Crescent Slash, and last Twilight Shroud, picking up a point in Shadow Dance whenever possible.
Now, I've seen some, granted not much, but some argument over whether to max your E ( Crescent Slash) or W ( Twilight Shroud) first. The argument goes " Crescent Slash doesn't really help much towards your nuking capability and the slow from the maxed out Twilight Shroud is good enough that it will slow enemy champions enough so you don't have to use another charge of your Shadow Dance." While this may be true, I find that the damage done by Crescent Slash is overwhelmingly more helpful than Twilight Shroud and here's why:
The ability to put out a lot of damage is a lot more important than putting out a magic bubble. And besides. Any reasonable person would just walk around the myserious enemy bubble, so you have a high chance of missing. Therefore, I level my Crescent Slash before my Twilight Shroud, which I max last.
Skill preferance when chasing: ( > means greater than)
Shadow Dance > Mark of the Assassin > Crescent Slash > (ONLY IF IT IS COMPLETELY NECESSARY FOR YOU TO SECURE THE KILL) Twilight Shroud
Summoner Spells
Recommended Choices
I highly recommend this for every Akali. Because she has no real escaping ability, this can be a life saver. It can also bring you back in range of your Shadow Dance if your prey gets too far away.
Jeez, I don't know how many times that I've let a kill get away because I didn't have ignite or it was on cooldown. I recommend this for the soul purpose of finishing off your opponents when you can't nuke them down fully (which shouldn't happen by the time you get your Hextech Gunblade, but just in case.
This summoner spell gives Akali the ability to do the best juke in the game in my opinion. Lets say you get ganked, 5v1, vs the enemy team while you're split pushing. Just calmly drop your bubble, sit inside it, then teleport out. Watch your reactions of your enemies as you disappear out of thin air! :D
This is a really good skill for escapes. The elimination of ALL CC from your champ can be an essencial part of your escape as Akali.
"Eh" Choices
This choice is ok for akali, but because of her great chase, ghost isn't needed. That being said, it can be a great escape mechanism.
This makes your chase easier to control. Then again, your Hextech Gunblade and Rylai's Crystal Scepter slows make your chase just as effective.
Definite No-No Choices
Unless you're planning on dying a lot, but this guide involves you not dying :P
Jungling is a viable option on Akali, but it is not covered in this guide.
If you really think that you are going to get your towers pushed pretty hard, than have your tank take the spell, not you.
No mana = no point on Akali.
Who even uses rally....
Again, this is not your role. Have your support take the CV, not you.
This doesn't really help you much. It could help your presence early game, but your lifesteal/spell vamp will eventually cancel out the need to even use heal, rendering it useless to you.
In my build, I mainly focus on her damage output, so I go a standard 21/9/0 mastery set up, making sure to grab points in
Archaic Knowledge
Offensive Mastery
(to make laning a little easier), and
of course, as well as picking up
in the defensive tree. This tree maximizes her damage and her presence in lane.
The main reason that I don't go for Burning Embers is becasue the extra AP isn't really worth the mastery point. 10 AP doesn't really do much for you, especially late game.
For marks I go Greater Mark of Magic Penetration x8 and Greater Mark of Ability Power x1.
For seals I go Greater Seal of Ability Power x9.
For glyphs I go Greater Glyph of Ability Power x9.
For quints I go Greater Quintessence of Health x2 and a Greater Quintessence of Ability Power.
This rune setup allows me to activate 1 of my passives (giving me a little over 10% extra damage). The magic pen helps my nuke to hit harder, and the 2 greater quint of fortitude help to give me early game sustain.
If you want to activate BOTH of your passives at level 1, get a Doran's Blade or Long Sword and 1 Health Potion. I don't really recommend going with both passives first for 3 reasons:
1. The extra spell vamp at the beginning is good, but it's not as good of a sustain as 3 health pots are.
2. Focusing on survivability is usually key early on with Akali.
3. Having boots makes it easier to run from ganks, or persue people who think they can get away early game.
+ This early game item set up tends to be an important way to sustain yourself early game in lane.
This is a great item for 2 reasons:
- It goes well with your Twin Disciplines. The lifesteal/spell vamp heals you very quickly.
- The slow is a must to catch up to enemies or prevent them from running.
The movement speed, ability power, and passive make your nuke hurt a lot. AND it gives magic resist, making you more sustainable.
The slow and hp boost from rylai's is the main reason I make it a priority to get.
This is a must if you're going to push towers. Some people argue that the extra AP isn't significant enough on Akali to make much of a diffence. I usually recommend it as a part of the core build, but I'll feel free to skip it if you don't think you'll need it.
This item gives your attacks a slow, increases your attack speed, attack damage, ap, AND movement speed! This is an overall fun and helpful item.
Sustain Items
warmong's armor If you're having trouble with harass and are getting your health jipped every time you walk out of your base, I'd definitly rush this item. It really helps in making you an unstoppable wall of hurt.
Good magic resist and gives your nuke harder hits because of its pssive.
Good magic resist and health (and of course, the passive). I KNOW, I know.. You don't use mana. But the item can sometimes be too good to resist.
*Side note: I can't get the icons for Warmong's Armor and Rylai's Crystal Scepter working. If someone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Know Your Role
Akali is an assassin. This means you're usually in the back, waiting to pick off an enemy carry/support. Usually hiding in the bushes makes this effective. You want to be the last one in and the first one out, doing as much damage with your Mark of the Assassin + Shadow Dance combo. It's important to NEVER initiate fights that you aren't sure you can secure a kill from. Let your tanky teammates start the fight, and wait for the perfect moment to jump into the fray.
Early Game
Pretty self explanatory. Just farm up as much as possible. Help your teammates by ganking once you can at level 6 (only if they need it). Akali can take pretty much any lane, so don't fret if you have a Karthus who HAS to mid.
Since you have energy, harass the enemy champion(s) that you're laning against with your Mark of the Assassin. SPAM FTW!
Late Game
Ganks and teamfights are going down very often now. You should have your Hextech Gunblade, Lich Bane, and probably your Guinsoo's Rageblade. Your nuking capability is extremely strong at this point. Because of your rageblade, you have a surprisingly strong ability to push towers. So don't be afraid to split push with akali.
You've probably gotten your team a few dragons and maybe a Baron because your ability to pretty much eliminate an enemy champion in the course of about 10 seconds.
Team Fights and Your Combos
Remember (this is something that all Akalis usually forget, even me sometimes):
...YOU AREN'T INVINCIBLE! I know that's kinda self explanatory, but in teamfights, people who play akali start to get really greedy. Make sure that you try to burst down a few champs and get the heck out!
Strongest nuke capability
Throw your Mark of the Assassin. Once it lands, jump to the enemy champion with Shadow Dance. This does an insane amount of damage, more than enemies usually expect.
When harassing, a great way to get off a lot of damage at early levels is to mark your enemy, wait for your Mark of the Assassin to come back off of cooldown, activate the mark on your enemy and throw/activate the next mark as soon as you activate the first mark. This damage output can give you a pretty nice nuke at level 1!
Remember: if your in the middle of your combo and you get stopped, drop into your bubble and try to get away ASAP!!
So this is my guide on how I personally play Akali. I hope I helped anyone who's wanting to learn how to play her or just wants to try something new. And please: drop a comment stating what I could do better in this guide/future guides.
Just remember: if people start complaining about you being OP, then you're really doing it right! ;)
Thanks again, Searz. Couldn't have made this guide without you. :)
Thanks to mikeyxoxo for letting me use his video in this guide.

The Belgian state has stuck the father of five children who were murdered by their mother in 2007 with the bill for convicting her of the crime, the Le Soir daily reported on Saturday.
As Lhermitte is incarcerated and insolvent, the Belgian state has sought to recover court expenses and collect fines from her then husband, Bouchaib Moqadem.
"I don't know what to say. I am disgusted and revolted that I, who was wrongly deprived of my children, am being asked to pay for the trial of my ex-wife, who was convicted of murdering my five children by cruelly slitting their throats," Moqadem was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
The bill appears to conform with Belgian law, the newspaper said, with the state seeking funds due to have been shared from the sale of their house under their divorce agreement.
However Moqadem's lawyer, in a letter to Finance Minister Didier Reynders, called for "administrative requirements to be balanced by decency" given the nature of the tragedy.

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.
A lot of people rank omen of Famine before War for the life drain, but i've found that a lot of the time yorick isn't focussed because he is a little tanky and generally isn't a big damaging force to worry about. This build flips that and makes omen of war do some big burst while you still have the support/harass from pestilence/death and are quite tanky. Sometimes i will make it a little tankier later into the game if i find myself being focussed, but generally its not an issue. Try the build out for yourself before you slate it.

The sun is where all energy on the earth comes from. Solar energy has been used
for thousands of years to heat homes and water, but only recently has it been
reliably converted to electricity to power your home.
Solar panels take the suns energy and convert solar power into electricity that
you can use to run everything in your home. These systems, called renewable energy
systems, can harness enough solar energy so that your reliance on the power company
is severely limited. The first thing you have to know is how these solar energy
systems work.
How A Solar Energy System Works
All solar energy systems have three things in common. The first is that they all
use photovoltaic panes as there power source. These correspond to the turbines and
fossil fuel generators found in large power plants, just on a much smaller scale.
The second is that the all have a power storage unit.
This stores the incoming energy so that you can use it later. The last component
of the system is the load. This is how much energy your home draws. You need to
understand the capacity and draw or energy gained that all three of these
components either add or subtract to the overall system.
There are three types of solar energy systems. The first kind is on grid. These
systems are on the local power grid and supplement the power received from there
with the solar energy. In the event of a blackout, the energy system in the home
will go down because there is no way to balance out the load. Any extra power can
be sold back to the electric company.
The next type is off grid. Off grid systems are not connected to the local power
company. These systems generally will store the power in batteries or in the system
itself. In the event of a blackout, the system is fine. Extra power can be used to
heat water or air. The last type is an on grid plus battery. These systems have a
battery back up to the electric company or the solar energy. In the event of a
blackout the system can still run off the battery. In addition power can be sold
back to the electric company or stored in the battery.
Now you have the basics of how different types of solar energy systems work.
Before you even consider installing one in your home however you are going to need
to come up with what your average usage for a month is. Before you do that, I would
suggest making your home as efficient as possible. Replace all your current bulbs
with florescent, get a new fridge, make sure all your windows are double pane, and
replace any of you electric appliances with gas if you can. After you do this you
will have a good idea of how much power you use and can come up with a solar energy
system that will meet your needs.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/466,706, filed Apr. 30, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
The invention relates generally to network facility planning.
As a network provider's facilities for providing networks of optical, radio, satellite and other types of communications grow and expand beyond boundaries of a particular country, it becomes increasingly important for that network provider to manage and track the use of international facilities belonging to the network provider as well as third party entities. Those facilities may connect locations in different countries, and are often situated on different continents. A network provider may use such international facilities to design, implement and maintain its network and provide services to interested customers. These tasks require an extensive amount of work by facility planners, facility engineers, technicians and other specialists.
In addition, many companies that provide services through their networks have to use facilities belonging to international networks in order to expand their businesses outside the country. To make effective use of international facilities, such companies need to provide a way for their personnel to work with network infrastructures, to plan and implement new facilities riding on existing international facilities, and to maintain implemented units.
A method and corresponding apparatus for managing network infrastructure is provided. The method includes providing information related to infrastructure of international networks, including facilities and equipment, and enabling the information to be displayed to a user.
International facility planning tasks require an extensive amount of work by facility planners, facility engineers, technicians and other personnel. The mechanism of the present invention thus enables those specialists to perform their job in more effective way. It also makes vital technical information about a network of international facilities as accessible as possible to those who need it.
Referring to
Also coupled to the Internet 14 are one or more client computers 34 which are operated by users of the application 18, e.g., international facility planners and other users. The application 18 provides the GUI 32 to the user of the client computer 34, via a client device, for example, a Web-browser 36, as shown. The GUI 32 is an intuitive interface that provides the user with a representation of an international network. The representation may take a geographical or tabular form, as will be described later. The system 12 thus allows a user to access in a fast and reliable manner data concerning international facilities from the database 20 and to display that data in an appropriate form. The GUI data structures 30 and network data records 28 can be modified or updated as well.
Referring to
The greographic view 40 displays objects of each type on different graphical layers. Each graphical layer can be independently selected (that is, switched on and off), thus allowing customization of the geographical view 42 according to user preferences. Also, objects of different types may be represented by different symbols of different colors to facilitate distinction between them.
The main screen also includes a toolbar 50, which a user can use to access other pages of the GUI, or modify the geographic view 40. Starting at the left side of toolbar 50, a first toolbar button, button 52, can be used to access a list of all the devices available in database (as will be described later with reference to
As mentioned above, there are five buttons in the toolbar on the main geographic view screen, label mode toolbar buttons 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, can be used to change the type of information displayed as object labels. The available options include: i) site country in which a device is situated (selected via toolbar button 54); ii) Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) code of the device (selected via toolbar button 56); iii) POP code of the device (selected via toolbar button 58); iv) host name of the device's host (selected via toolbar button 60); and v) IP address of the device's host (selected via toolbar button 62).
The tree structure 43 of the geographic view 40 allows a user to select different graphical (or display) layers. Since different types of objects are placed on different layers, the user is able to customize the display to meet his or her needs, for example, to show devices of only certain type or types.
Some screenshot illustrations of this display layer selection are shown in
If a user "switches off" both of the "PE Router" and "AT&T International Fiber" layers and switches on the "WAN Switch" layer, the resulting geographic view is as shown in
The Web-based application 18 enables display of data for international equipment in tabular as well as mapped form. There are several ways of obtaining data in tabular form in the application. All of these ways involve the use of one or more buttons on the geographical view toolbar.
One way to obtain a data display in tabular form is by using the first toolbar button, button 52. Referring to
Alternatively, a user can click on button 64 to view information on a selected device or selected equipment. A user selects equipment on the map by clicking the symbol representing the equipment. The application returns the detailed data for the selected equipment. By clicking on virtually any entity in the window, information on this object can be obtained in a separated window.
Referring to
It will be noted that certain fields, such as the Building row (or field) 224 shown in
If a user clicks on any of these toolbar buttons, a new window will open displaying information of a desired nature on the selected entity. For example,
On each of the screens in which at least one row is displayed in color, therefore, a user can click on that row and be presented with a toolbar pertaining to the entity represented in the selected row. On each new screen the user sees new functions that allow the user to further investigate equipment, projects, customers and any other entities of interest for a particular application. The GUI thus gives a user a unique ability to perform "data drilling"—the kind of activity that allows a user to explore all aspects of the data in an easy manner.
Access to the application 18 is controlled through security policy. Each user has a set of permissions that determine whether that user is allowed to perform certain types of actions. For example, some users may not be allowed to edit information in the database. At the same time, other users may have access to the complete functionality of the application.
The exemplary screenshots of
The illustrated embodiment of
Referring back to
In the illustrated embodiment, most of the GUI-pertaining information in stored in the database. As mentioned earlier, all form layouts and queries that generate the various reports are defined in the database. Such an implementation facilitates the process of changing the GUI to customize the application for a particular user's needs. Only major GUI changes require changes in and recompilation of the application source code.
It should be noted that information presented on the screenshots described herein is in no way intended to represent accurately actual equipment and relationships between different equipment units. The information is intended for illustrative purposes only.
The system 12 thus fulfills a need for an application that would allow managing-data on international equipment, as well as using this data to plan, implement and maintain proprietary facilities riding on international facilities. The system 12 deals with infrastructure of international networks and supports an application which allows data to be displayed in both geographic and tabular form. As access to international equipment data is among the most significant tasks in the network, the use of the system 12 by international facility planning personnel and other users takes the work of such users to a new level of effectiveness.
Since the Internet is most widely available network, implementing such a system as a Web-based architecture is an extremely effective way to provide access to the international infrastructure. With a Web-based application, there is no need to install on the client computers any software other than a browser (as shown in

Typically when fans ask for autographs from their favorite celebrities & singers, they present a piece of paper, poster, or CD to be signed. But Justin Moore didn't get your typical autograph request.
Moore was asked to name the oddest thing someone wanted him to autograph.
He said, "A baby. That's the honest truth."
It was a woman in a meet-and-greet line, and he really didn't want to do it. They went back and forth for over 10 minutes, and were holding things up.
"I said, 'I'm not signing this baby' . . . and finally she was not gonna give it up, so I signed a baby and it was pretty odd", Moore explained to Sounds Like Nashville.
As a father himself, he immediately felt bad for what he had just done and wanted to go back to erase the decision to do it.
Moore said, "I wanted to take a wet wipe and get it off as soon as I did it."

Result Clinches Defending MLS Cup Champs' Passage to Quarterfinal Round of Regional Championship Next Spring;
MF Javier Morales Returns to Line-up, Scores on Second Half Free Kick to Help RSL Move On in Tournament
TORONTO (Tuesday, September 28, 2010) – Real Salt Lake used a free kick goal by MF Javier Morales in the 67th minute to get the result it needed against Toronto FC, a 1-1 draw tonight at BMO Field securing its passage into the knockout phase of the CONCACAF Champions League in its first appearance in the regional championship. Thanks to the draw, Real Salt Lake and Cruz Azul share the Group A lead on 10 points with identical 3-1-1 records, ensuring both squads will move out of the CCL's "Group of Death" and into the home-and-away Quarterfinal Round, which begins in late February.
It was déjà vu all over again for Real Salt Lake, which fell behind for the fifth time in as many CCL contests in the 20th minute, a lightning-quick counter-attack started by a long throw by Toronto GK Jon Conway being finished with authority from distance by FW Jacob Peterson to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. But a patient and resilient RSL side would dominate possession throughout the contest, its persistence paying off when FW Robbie Findley was fouled 25 yards straight out from goal midway through the second half. Morales would take it from there, striking his free kick towards the left side of goal and past Conway to even things up.
The defending MLS titlist's stout defensive effort would allow TFC precious few dangerous moments from there on out, with the result allowing RSL to cross a second major accomplishment off its 2010 checklist in four days time, following on the heels of another 1-1 comeback draw against Colorado last Saturday that made the Utah side the second club to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes
· In tonight's other Group A contest, Mexican side Cruz Azul defended its home turf against Árabe Unido of Panama via a 2-0 scoreline at Estadio Azul to also clinch a spot in the CCL's Quarterfinal Round. That result sets up a showdown for first place in Group A between co-leaders Real Salt Lake and Cruz Azul during the CCL's Group Stage finale in Matchweek #6, set to take place at Rio Tinto Stadium on Tuesday, Oct. 19 (8:00 p.m. MT kickoff).
· The gauntlet-like portion of the late season schedule will wrap up this Saturday, Oct. 2, when Real Salt Lake (13-4-9, 48 pts. in MLS play) resumes the chase for its first-ever Supporters Shield (MLS regular season) crown by taking on the New England Revolution (7-14-5, 26 pts.). Kickoff from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., on Saturday is set for 5:00 p.m. MT for a contest that can be seen live on KUSG 2.2 (Comcast 111 / Dish Network 12) and will be followed by the America First Credit Union Post-match Report.
· Tonight's match was the second-to-last in a brutal stretch that will see the Utah side play 14 matches in 56 days. RSL has collected a 6-1-6 record across all competitions during this stretch, including a 3-1-1 mark in CCL play and a 3-0-5 record in MLS action to this point. The contest was the fifth tilt of a hectic six-game, 18-day run within that larger stretch that will finish Saturday in New England and has already taken the Claret-and-Cobalt to Panama and Canada. RSL came within seconds of going undefeated to this point during the stretch, its lone defeat coming via a heartbreaking 4-5 result against Cruz Azul in Mexico City, during which RSL led deep into the second half, equalized in stoppage time, and fell on a deflected shot on the match's final play.
· The goal for Morales was his first of the tournament in three appearances. The tally also marked the first-ever goal for Real Salt Lake at BMO Field in five matches since the "Reds" entered the League in 2006, snapping the Utah side's 427-minute scoreless streak on the shores of Lake Ontario (RSL now 0-2-3 in Toronto all-time).
· Tonight marked the return of MF Javier Morales to the RSL 18-man gameday roster, the Argentine playmaker hampered in recent weeks by a right quadriceps strain. Morales, who entered in the half in place of MF Collen Warner, sat out the last four matches across all competitions (9/15 v. TFC, 9/18 v. CHI, 9/22 @ Arabe Unido & 9/25 v. COL) due to the injury, his last appearance a 90-minute effort in a 0-0 draw with Seattle back on Sept. 9 at Qwest Field.
· Peterson's 20th minute counter-attack tally marked the fifth time in as many CCL contests that Real Salt Lake allowed the first goal of the match. However, unlike the first four occasions, the Utah side failed to even up the proceedings by the halftime break.
· MF Kyle Beckerman's 61st minute caution was his second of the Group Stage, meaning he will be forced to sit out of RSL's battle for Group A supremacy against Cruz Azul next month. After missing tonight's match, FW Fabian Espíndola (red card @ Árabe Unido) and MF Nelson González (two cautions) will once again be available for selection by Head Coach Jason Kreis against the Mexican side.

On the result:
"We are an extremely pleased team to have accomplished one of our major goals for the season. At the beginning of the year we stressed that we wanted to put a lot of focus on this tournament, and it's a credit to our guys that they've done that and, deservedly, we're into the next round."
On how RSL's travel woes to Toronto affected the squad:
"It's hard to describe how difficult our travel situation was, and how much I think little things like that affect teams. The travel situation made it nearly impossible for us to be our best, and I knew that coming into the game.
"The fact that we didn't create much in the first 20 minutes was not a big deal for me because, to be honest, we didn't need to. We needed to do what we did, which was possess the ball for long stretches of time and have [Toronto] come out of their shell a little bit. I thought the guys gave everything they had, and I know that there weren't a lot of full tanks out there."
On the return of Javier Morales to the line-up:
"We brought [Javier] out a couple of hours before the match and put him through a fitness test and he passed that and felt good, but we were concerned with how long he could last. Being that Collen Warner picked up a yellow card we thought it was a necessary switch so we wouldn't put ourselves in jeopardy of going down a man, and we also know how important Javier is for us, so it was a gamble that paid off."
On once again coming back from an early deficit in Champions League play:
"We came in and talked at halftime knowing that we've been in situations like this before this season. We've done a great job of digging ourselves out of a hole like that in the past and we did it again tonight. We're really proud of the effort and are excited to move forward and play in the knockout rounds."
On containing Toronto FC's attack:
"We talked a lot about how dangerous [Toronto FC] can be, especially on the counter-attack. We know what kind of quality they have up top in guys like [Dwayne De Rosario] and Jacob Peterson, who did an outstanding job on their goal. I was a little disappointed in myself in the way the first half went. We talked over and over about how dangerous they were on the counter, and we should have done a better job on that, but we felt like we didn't allow them many other chances."

The states of Montana and Wyoming recently updated their data breach notification statutes. The revisions include updates to the states' definitions of personal information subject to breach notification provisions, among other changes. Corporations with personal information of state residents in their possession should take note of the new provisions.
In Montana, House Bill ("H.B.") 74 was signed into law by Governor Steve Bullock on February 27, 2015, and will go into effect on October 1, 2015. Notably, the legislation expands the state's definition of "personal information" subject to the breach notification provisions to include medical record information (in combination with a first name or first initial and last name). H.B. 74 further requires data breach notices to be submitted to the Montana Attorney General and, for insurance entities, to the Montana Insurance Commissioner.
In Wyoming, two new data security bills, Senate File ("S.F.") Numbers 35 and 36, were signed into law by Governor Matthew Mead on March 2, 2015. S.F. 35 relates to the content of data breach notifications and requires that such notices be "clear and conspicuous" and include "[t]he types of personal identifying information that were or are reasonably believed to have been the subject of the breach;" a "general description of the breach incident;" the "approximate date of the breach of security, if that information is reasonably possible to determine at the time notice is provided;" a general description of "the actions taken by the individual or commercial entity to protect the system containing the personal identifying information from further breaches;" "[a]dvice that directs the person to remain vigilant by reviewing account statements and monitoring credit reports;" and finally, "[w]hether notification was delayed as a result of a law enforcement investigation, if that information is reasonably possible to determine at the time the notice is provided."
S.F. 36 comprehensively updates Wyoming's definition of "personal identifying information" to include a person's first name or first initial and last name along with one or more of the following data elements: "(iii) Social security number; (iv) Driver's license number; (v) Account number, credit card number or debit card number in combination with any security code, access code or password that would allow access to a financial account of the person; (vi) Tribal identification card; (vii) Federal or state government issued identification card; (viii) Shared secrets or security tokens that are known to be used for data based authentication; (ix) A username or email address, in combination with a password or security question and answer that would permit access to an online account; (x) A birth or marriage certificate; (xi) Medical information, meaning a person's medical history, mental or physical condition, or medical treatment or diagnosis by a health care professional; (xii) Health insurance information, meaning a person's health insurance policy number or subscriber identification number, any unique identifier used by a health insurer to identify the person or information related to a person's application and claims history; (xiii) Unique biometric data, meaning data generated from measurements or analysis of human body characteristics for authentication purposes; (xiv) An individual taxpayer identification number."
S.F. 35 and S.F. 36 take effect on July 1, 2015.

An unforgettable debut with an irresistible love story, My Last Continent is a big-hearted, propulsive novel set against the dramatic Antarctic landscape - an "original and entirely authentic love story" (Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project).
It is only at the end of the world - among the glacial mountains, cleaving icebergs, and frigid waters of Antarctica - that Deb Gardner and Keller Sullivan feel at home. For the few blissful weeks they spend each year studying the habits of emperor and Adélie penguins, Deb and Keller can escape the frustrations and sorrows of their separate lives and find solace in their work and in each other. But Antarctica, like their fleeting romance, is tenuous, imperiled by the world to the north.
A new travel and research season has just begun, and Deb and Keller are ready to play tour guide to the passengers on the small expedition ship that ferries them to their research destination. But this year Keller fails to appear onboard. Then, shortly into the journey, Deb's ship receives an emergency signal from the Australis, a cruise liner that has hit desperate trouble in the ice-choked waters of the Southern Ocean. Soon Deb's role will change from researcher to rescuer; among the crew of that sinking ship, Deb learns, is Keller.
As Deb and Keller's troubled histories collide with this catastrophic present, Midge Raymond's phenomenal novel takes us on a voyage deep into the wonders of the Antarctic and the mysteries of the human heart. My Last Continent is packed with emotional intelligence and high stakes - a harrowing, searching novel of love and loss in one of the most remote places on earth, a land of harsh beauty where even the smallest missteps have tragic consequences - "half adventure, half elegy, and wholly recommended" (Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves).

Cyclists and art lovers flocking to Brighouse ahead of Le Tour
To celebrate the arrival of the Tour de France in Yorkshire, a gallery in Brighouse is holding an exhibition showcasing paintings by artists who have been inspired by the race.
The Harrison Lord Gallery, located on Bradford Road in Brighouse, has opened its Tour de Yorkshire art exhibition that contains prints and original paintings centred around the world's biggest cycling event.
Steven Lord, the owner of the Harrison Lord Gallery, told the Yorkshire Standard: "The Tour de France exhibition has created a huge amount of interest from cyclists and art lovers alike.
"I have never seen such excitement for a local event and our exhibition which celebrates the Tour de Yorkshire, is buzzing with people planning where and when to see the race.
"What better way to remember it than with a piece of art, which has been inspired by the world's biggest sporting event passing through our home county?"
The show includes work by Jane O'Neill who was recently featured on BBC's Countryfile, who was shown cycling up Cragg Vale, part of the Tour route, and then in her studio making prints and glass coasters.
Another artist is Michelle Campbell who, over the last 12 months, has gained an enviable reputation for artwork inspired by the Tour featuring a series of quirky cyclist characters such as Dynamo Derek in local settings.
Just for the show, she created two detailed maps depicting the two stages of the Tour de Yorkshire in her quirky, humorous style.
Other featured artists include Alex Tomlinson, Roger Simpson, Paul Shipley, Tony Noble, Anthony Marn, Andy Farr, Martin Cowton, and Christine Evans.
The Tour De Yorkshire exhibition is being held at the Harrison Lord Gallery in Brighouse until 11 July. It is free to enter.

Shares of Tesla Motors Inc. traded at a record high as speculations rose on the nature of a 2013 meeting between the chief executive Elon Musk and Adrian Perica, Apple Inc.'s head of mergers and acquisitions, four analysts said. San Francisco Chronicle reported on Feb. 16, citing a person privy with the matter, that Musk met with Perica in early 2013.
Driven by this report, Tesla's shares rose to $206 before closing at $203.70. Musk told Bloomberg in an interview in May 2013 that he was not planning to step away from Tesla for "several years" and that an acquisition by another carmaker wasn't a probability.
He, however, remarked that being acquired is "one of the possible outcomes," adding that a potential buyer would have to have a big cash position.
He declined to speculate on potential suitors, but admitted that Apple was a company with tons of cash. James Albertine, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co., told Bloomberg that there is no indication" an acquisition is a serious possibility now.
Albertine as well as analysts Craig Irwin (Wedbush Securities), Andrea James (Dougherty & Co.), and Dan Galves (Deutsche Bank), said that the Apple speculation was partially responsible for the Tesla's stock gain.
Irwin quipped that investors have an "expectation of positives on the upcoming conference call," where Tesla is due to discuss its quarterly results. James said the rise is an effect of the combination of "Apple speculation" and a boost in target prices for Tesla shares by other analysts.

The 2-door Aston Martin DB9 Volante is the convertible version of the iconic Aston Martin DB9. It's fitted with the same 6.0 litre V12 engine as its hardtop counterpart, but with its automatic folding roof you can add the thrills of open-top motoring to the luxury coupé experience.
Nationwide Vehicle Contracts have some excellent leasing offers on the Aston Martin DB9 Volante as competitive UK car lease prices.
Aston Martin DB9 Convertible Key Features

Power & Performance
The Aston Martin DB9 Volante is a little taller than its coupé counterpart, yet being fitted with the same 6.0 litre V12 engine, it's no less powerful. With an output of 170bhp and a top speed of 186mph, it can achieve 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds. That's only three-tenths of a second slower than the standard Aston Martin DB9.
Beyond the engine, you'll find the same Adaptive Damping System and carbon ceramic brakes in the Aston Martin DB9 Volante. As a result, you can enjoy unbeatably intuitive and responsive handling at all times – no matter what the speed or road surface – with truly effortless overtaking.
Transmission is a choice between six-speed manual and the advanced six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic.
Comfort & Practicality
The two front sports seats create a comfortable yet exhilarating driving experience for driver and passenger alike. Combined with the refined leather and wood finishes throughout, the interior of the Aston Martin DB9 Volante communicates luxury and sophistication from every angle.
Then, at the touch of a button, the Volante can transform from a soft-top coupé to a stunning open-top cabriolet in just 14 seconds. The roof opens at speeds of up to 30mph, so you don't even have to stop before you can effect the transformation.
To accommodate the folding roof, the Volante has a smaller boot than the DB9 coupé. Nonetheless, you'll still find 187 litres of luggage space, which can be further boosted if you make use of the two rear passenger seats.
Leasing vs Buying
With fixed monthly payments, a lower initial deposit, flexible contract duration, flexible mileage terms and inclusive road tax and breakdown recovery; there are many benefits to leasing the Aston Martin DB9 Volante from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
