Regarding the Mythbusters show on the drag of a pickup truck:
Yes, they found that the drag was lower with the tailgate closed. This was because the tailgate trapped the vortex over the bed of the truck, stabilizing it. With the tailgate open, the vortex was unstable and kept slipping out the back. The overall drag of the pickup was greater than a smoothly contoured automobile shape the same size, but with the tailgate closed and the vortex stable, its drag was lower than with the tailgate open, and an unstable vortex.
This is a major problem for the K-F sections in their present form. They correspond to the "tailgate-open" configuration, and (as a number of different studies by various people in various countries have shown) the vortex is unstable. It keeps slipping out the back, and has to re-form, driving up the drag in the process.
This does suggest an interesting possibility: what about adding a "tailgate" to a K-F section, to stabilize the vortex just as it does for a pickup truck? Something similar has already been tried successfully on conventional airfoils, the "Gurney flap" or "wicker bill" used on the wings of open-wheel race cars, such as F1 and at Indy. This was invented by Dan Gurney while consulting with Dr. Robert Liebeck of McDonnell-Douglas (one of the fathers of modern computer-optimized airfoil design) on high-lift race car wings. The way it works in that application is not the same as the problem on a K-F section, but it's similar enough in the way it does it that it might be a worthwhile experiment.
I doubt it would completely solve the low section L/D problem. At our Reynolds numbers ("Re") in particular, skin friction is a major culprit in profile drag, and the overall flow path around all the local flows is inevitably longer than for a conventional section, which increases the skin friction. More skin, more skin friction. However, if it can at least help stabilize the vortex, it might help.
Dick Kline (very nice gentleman, BTW) and I have had some private discussions via e-mail, including about a study he found on an airfoil with vortex-containing pockets in the wing surfaces, with and without suction in the pockets. The researchers found that they did have to use considerable suction in the pockets to stabilize the vortex and keep it from getting continually sucked out. There was the question of whether, even if the vortex pockets did help maintain laminar flow and lower drag, the power needed for the suction would exceed any possible gains from the laminar boundary layer (in full-scale airfoils it's all about keeping the flow laminar as long as possible to reduce drag; for us it's the opposite, we need for it to be turbulent as soon as possible so it will stay attached and not separate prematurely). That does not sound encouraging for the possibilities of improvement from a "Gurney flap" at the aft edge of the step in the airfoil, but it might still be worth investigating. The height of the Gurney flap would be critical, and the contour between it and the surface ahead of it might be critical as well.

Regarding wind tunnels:
"Reynolds number" is a numerical way to measure what modelers commonly call "scale effect". It's the density times speed times some characteristic length, such as chord, divided by the absolute viscosity. "Kinematic viscosity is the viscosity divided by the density, so you can also use the speed times the length, divided by the kineatic viscosity.
For example, in "ISA Standard Atmosphere" sea-level air
Re = 778 x speed (MPH) x chord (inches)
If you want to test something in a wind tunnel, you need to match the Re in the tunnel to the Re in the "real world"example you want to compare it to. If your wind-tunnel model is half the size, then your wind tunnel must generate twice the airspeed, so the Re's are the same. The amount of power you need to do that could be surprising. For serious testing in a tunnel for our kinds of speeds, with a 3' x 4' working section, you need around 40 horsepower.
Getting decent wind-tunnel data at our Reynolds numbers is significantly more difficult than for full-scale Re's. A good low Re wind tunnel needs to be carefully contoured, with multiple carefully designed screens in the inlet section to eliminate even the tiniest traces of turbulence. A cardboard box with a couple electric fans is going to generate data, but it's not likely to be reliable, usable data.
Find a copy of "Soartech 8: Airfoils at Low Speeds", Michael Selig's doctoral thesis. There's some discussion in that of what it takes to get good data at low Re's. Even so, what he did started having problems below about Re = 100K. Going lower than that (as many of our smaller, slower models do) becomes even more difficult. I'm not saying don't try, just recognize that it will be difficult, and proving that you've succeeded in generating reliable data will be even more difficult.
Model tests in free air avoids a lot of that, but then you have to deal with the problem of how to find (and verify) that you have really smooth air with no wind or updrafts or downdrafts, and how to actually measure your data reliably. You would be surprised how much convection is actually out there on any given day.
It's easy to generate impressive-looking numbers. It's far more difficult to generate ones that actually mean something. Not impossible, but difficult.
I notice that in NASCAR truck racing, the pickup trucks all use a cover over the truck bed with the tail gate up/closed.
This (goes faster) reduces drag??
Resembles a KFm3 configuration??
=> two smaller K-steps (tonneau cover) have less drag than one big KF-step (tailgate open)
=> extrapolate to "improvements" from KF-variants with multiple KF-steps (??)
=> infinite number of steps => conventional airfoil shape (??)
some videos: http://etonneaucover.com/news-DoTonn...rsSaveGas.aspx
it strikes me that its easier to gather reliable info for models since airfoil size and speed (hence re) are exactly the same. imo it would be more difficult to get full scale data where these may not be the same because scaling is required for practical space reasons.
im not that enthusiastic over cardboard wind tunnels either but for different reasons. im just not a big fan of theory, simulation, and laboratory testing in general. careful field observation and measurment seems more dependable.
i agree about turbulence etc but the diy tunnel does appear to be somewhat useful for testing small airfoils. there is a formula for calculating free space around the sample under test and iirc my buddy took that into account when deciding on chord vs housing size.
im just not sure testing airfoils is that useful to determine how rc planes will perform. what is the formula for calculating "fun per buck"?
Getting good data at model Re's requires getting unusually uniform and turbulence-free flow in the tunnel. That's more difficult than what's needed at full-scale Re's.
It's sort of like the way that very small model engines, like the Cox .010, are more expensive than bigger ones like the Cox .049, because the smaller size requires closer tolerances.
A new thread has popped up called Amazing KF and several people describe their experiences when they applied the KF steps to their different aircraft.
Looks like they were pleasantly surprised.
Don: great education, i still don't need to read the books! (well....maybe) anyway, so yousay a 3'vertical x4' horizontal section is required for eliminating the scale/wall effects? Not sure why so much horsepower is required if the wing section is exactly the "real" size and chord and the flow speed is exactly (well, in the range of) the real world flying speeds?
Way back in 1901 the Wright Brothers did splendid work with their 6' long by 16" square wind tunnel.
With this instrument they were able to prove that the flat plate espoused by some 'experts' and the other weird and wonderful sections embraced by others, were far from efficient.
Over a two month period they tested about 200 wing configurations, and at the end of that time, for the first time ever, there existed a truly scientific study of aerodynamics.
With this data they produced an airfoil, which they used for both the wings and propellers, that enabled them to fly on minimal horse-power; and put them about 20 years ahead of the rest of the world.
So yes, a relatively simple, quite small wind tunnel can indeed enable good work to be done.
G: I was just reading up on them, trying to figure out how their balance systems worked, found an interesting java applet from NASA that helps. But your point is well taken, I'm still not sure i would need a 3'x4' tunnel section to test 6 or 12 inch span sections of a bunch of different foamie wings. That of course brings up another issue, The wrights only used 4" span sections if I recall in a 16" tunnel. I suppose aspect ratio in the sections is something to be considered too. Downloaded a paper on rules for low speed tunnels, so will peruse that and maybe get some guidance.
Dave: I noted the point, and alsoI saw in one of the sites that the open ended tunnels were susceptible to uneven flow/turbulence, but I would think that it should be possible to see it (smoke) and try different straighteners to eliminate it. After all, this whole exercise is pretty much just another "tinkering" like building a hot wire cutter, or a wing baking jig. (bit more complicated, of course, but just another thing an old retired guy can play with out in the barn, at least until the pallets of foam show up....)
I don't think I remember anyone ever claiming less drag as a KF benefit. But If you are flying a flat plate wing I think there is an increase in lift. I don't say that as an aeronautical expert, only as an impression I got. If a flat plate wing goes from that slightly high leading edge and riding on a cushion of air kind of flight to flying on the level and with the wing at zero incidence there must be some kind of increase in lift.
We always have some power so when you turn a flat plate into KF the small increase in drag is easily countered with power.

I recently read a blog where the guy was amazed at how well his plane flew with the wings salvaged from a Pattern model.
Of course a KF wing may have pleased him even more.
"..True, but to play Devil's Advocate..."
That's all right. As a community, on this thread and the building and flying thread, we fully addicted KF users have been accused of having made all kinds of outrageous claims for the KF airfoil.
Some of them are things we believe are true and the others are things we either know to be false or that we don't believe. But when any outlandish claim is made and attributed to the innocuous "They say..." source, it is really hard to get the conversation back on an objective level.
A few even seem to come here with no other objective than to try to tone down the excess of fun happiness.

Seagull in Toffees link
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Everton are thought to be interested in Brighton left back Daniel Harding.Everton boss David Moyes is thought to be keeping an eye on Brighton & Hove Albion left back Daniel Harding.
The 20-year-old (pictured) has made great strides with the South Coast club in recent months, having earned an England Under-21 cap under Peter Taylor in August.
The Toffees are keen to bring a new left back to Goodison Park and may be prepared to offer a bid for Harding in the January transfer window, with Everton chairman Bill Kenwright having declared that money would be available for new signings.
Despite the links of Harding with Everton, Seagulls boss Mark McGhee claims the youngster is set to sign a new contract with Brighton.
"We are hoping to have a meeting with Dan and his representatives in the next week or so," said McGhee.
"Dan has stated he wants to stay at the club and we are pleased he has put everyone's mind at rest.
"Everton or any other club would not be doing their jobs properly if they did not see good young players around the country.
"If they are interested in Dan Harding they will eventually come and tell us, but it is pure and utter speculation at the moment."
The Merseyside club's search for a new left back has also linked them with Wigan Athletic's Leighton Baines.
The talented defender has been a revelation for The Latics this term and has already cemented a role in Taylor's Under-21 squad, but Wigan may be reluctant to let the youngster leave with possible Premiership promotion on the cards at this season's end.
Meanwhile, Brighton boss Mark McGhee has offered on-loan midfielder Alexis Nicolas a permanent move and Dean Hammond a new contract.
Nicolas, 21, is in the middle of a three-month loan spell at The Withdean Stadium from Premiership side Chelsea.
McGhee is hoping to secure the Cyprus Under-21 player's services permanently before his loan deal expires at the end of October.
Hammond, meanwhile, has been offered a new deal until the summer of 2006, with his current three-month contract to expire this week.
"We have made a permanent offer to Alexis," McGhee told The Argus.
"I spoke to him and we hope to resolve something before the end of this week."

Don't pluck those eyebrows, don't bleach your hair, don't shave your underarms, don't wax until you're 18... aren't these some of the things every mother told her daughter at some point of time in her life? How many of us actually thought these were some of the classic beauty tips to acknowledge and follow?
Those who followed their mothers' advice on skin care, have impeccable skin today. But, those who didn't pay attention to that brilliant advice, landed in deep trouble with their skin.
Boldsky shares with you some of the best beauty tips to steal from any mom. By following these handful of moms beauty tips, your skin will begin to look flawless and naturally beautiful.
On the other hand, these tips will also protect the skin from looking aged and worn out. So, daughters, if you're reading this, make sure you sit with your mom today and let her spill those beans on her skin care secrets. We are sure those secrets will enable you to have flawless skin in just about no time.
Here are some beauty tips to steal from your mom.
Wash Your Face Regularly
It is important to wash your face with clear running water thrice a day. This helps cleanse your face removing dirt and grime that cause pimples and other skin problems.
Don't Bite Those Nails
Biting those nails is one habit to stop immediately. Chewing or biting nails will damage the nail plate which will cause the cellular bond and connective tissue to break. This will make the nails brittle.
Never Pop That Zit
Popping a pimple will cause more to develop. It is best to treat pimples with effective home remedies.
Don't Forget That Sunscreen
One of the many beauty tips to steal from moms is to look after the skin even when you're out in the sun. No doubt, vitamin D is good for the skin, but too much of it can damage the skin.
Never Comb Wet Hair
Tying up wet hair is not healthy for the scalp as well as the body. Wet hair when tied up, leads to scalp infections and lice infestation.
Eat Those Greens
Green veggies are to be added to your daily diet. Green veggies help in promoting good skin. The properties present in green veggies make your skin glow naturally. It also delays ageing.

Indonesia's largest cement producer PT Semen Gresik said Thursday it sold 11.25Mt of cement in the domestic market during the first nine months, an increase of 1.8 per cent from a year ago.
In the same period, nationwide cement consumption rose 6.8 per cent to 25.2Mt.
Semen Gresik's domestic sales grew at a slower pace than industry-wide sales mainly because the company has been focusing on boosting its margins rather than market share, said Agung Wiharto, an investor relations official at the company told Thomson Financial.
He said the company aims to maintain its market share at around 44-45 per cent..
Semen Gresik's domestic cement sales is projected to grow by 4 percent this year from 14.94Mt in 2006. The pace is slower than the industry-wide growth, which is estimated at over six per cent, he said.
He said Semen Gresik will boost its exports as long as it does not cause a squeeze in margins.
In first nine months, Semen Gresik exported 1.37Mt of cement, up 16.3 per cent from a year ago.

For the next few weeks, I am going to answer some questions that I frequently get asked regarding weight loss.
I want to lose 1 stone (14 pounds / 6.3kg) in 3 weeks. Can you help me?
Why Not?
Because if you want to lose 1 stone in 3 weeks, you are going to be more concerned with starving yourself down to a desired weight than making the changes needed to lose weight in the long term. If you can tolerate taking a few weeks more to ensure that the changes you make are going to last, then I would be more than happy to help you.
How fast are we talking?
1 stone in 8-10 weeks.
Can't I just get down to the goal I want really quickly and then do your programme?
It doesn't work that way. Imagine a politician lying and cheating their way into power and then deciding to be honest once they get there. Do you believe that's possible, or even likely? How you get there is very important. If you starve yourself down to a weight you want, you will find it hard to suddenly switch to the right habits to maintain the weight loss.
My principle that I work on is that I want people to start losing weight using methods that they will continue to apply for the rest of their life.
And remember, most people are in a hurry, partly because they are impatient but also because they think that dieting is so unpleasant that they will only be able to tolerate it for a short time.
A behavioural approach is a much easier way to go about losing weight. A new client of mine last week, told me that she was surprised that she really was able to eat the foods that she would normally eat and still lose weight. This sounds like a ridiculous claim, but once you understand the principle behind it, it's actually just common sense.
What is the principle behind it?
That there is a significant amount of what you eat, that neither provides you with nutrition nor enjoyment. Your eating patterns can be re-trained, so that you require less food to get the same amount of satisfaction from food. In other words, you get the same enjoyment from fewer calories, hence you can lose weight.
Dr. Khandee Ahnaimugan is a medical doctor who provides a bespoke behavioural programme for weight loss. To book a comprehensive assessment at his Harley Street Clinic please email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone +44 (0) 20 3130 4770.

Unanswered: Separate DB2 subsystem for a dataware house
DB2 DBAs,
Our shop is planning on creating a new dataware house. Ours is a Z/OS environment running DB2 v 7.1. The warehouse is estimated to grow to 5 - 7 terabytes. My thinking is that we would be best served to put the warehouse into a dedicated subsystem and isolate it from our OLTP production subsystem. OLTP subsystem abd the data warehouse subsystem woud both be in the sane LPAR. I would appreciate any comments on the wisdom or folly of this plan. I think that the advantages lie in the following points:
· to allow creating DSNZ parms specific to the warehouse
· to allow FDR full volume backups for disaster recovery
· to isolate any warehouse related intervention or outage to a non-revenue stream resource
· to better manage subsystem resources that will be required to be set exceptionally large such as temp DB2 storage, buffer pools, DB2 sort space etc.
· to allow WLM priority settings against warehouse specific address spaces under a new subsystem
· to create an warehouse specific set of DB2 accounting statistics and system resource utilization reports
I am specially interested in any arguments against such a plan.
Thank you,
William Smith

From early on in my career as an esthetician, I noticed that every skin is unique and categorizing skin into the standard three categories of dry, normal and oily was far too limiting. From adult acne to rosacea, from brown spots to oil production, every person's skin has different needs and so it was based on this that I created nine types of skin. In this video, I talk more about each skin type in detail but if you're still unsure, you can take our quick and easy Skin Type Quiz.

Renee, I am going for my estheticians license (second career) and wanted to know what schools you would recommend? I am looking to further my studies to be a medical esthetician and realized I need to get my basic license first. What are your thoughts?
Posted By:|
Hi Audra,
Congratulations on pursuing the wonderful world of esthetics! I really don't have a recommendation for a school. I generally feel that most of your education in esthetics comes after school with continuing education (hopefully provided by your employer) and real world, hands-on experience working with clients.
Posted By:|
Hey, Renee! I am 19 years old, and I am wanting to try your products, but I am trying to decide which products that I need to buy based on my skin type. I have really oily skin, and I have consistent breakouts, but they are not severe. So I was wondering if I should purchase products for skin type number 1 or 2?

The little online radio company has punched through an incredible number of setbacks: "blows that would make the most determined entrepreneur throw in the towel," says Inc. magazine.
And yet, Westergren soldiers on with Pandora's "Music Genome Project," a proprietary program that uses musicians to break songs into about 400 "genes" for each genre (like pop and jazz) and then uses an algorithm to find similar music.
Listeners at Pandora.com create free radio stations based on their favorite artists or songs. They're more than customers: They're rabid fans, and now they're more than 8 million strong.
Pandora's problem has always been its business model. Shockingly in debt several times, Westergren has raised more than $30 million, including $12 million in 2006, and burned through most of it as the company tried to find a model that worked.
So how does he manage this wild ride?
- Mainly, he persists. "I've got to give Tim the all-time award for persistence," says one venture capitalist. "I probably turned him down at least three or four times."
- He's passionate. Westergren plays piano, bassoon, recorder, drums and clarinet. He studied music at Stanford University, where he mastered music theory and computer applications. He toiled for years in acoustic rock bands, trying to build the following he now has.
- He adapts. "Most entrepreneurs, if you bring up a flaw in the business model, will just adamantly try to claim they've got it all figured out," says the venture capitalist. "Tim said, 'Well, that's our best idea right now.' It was a good reaction."
"I've never, ever given up, even when we were in the most depressive bleak times," Westergren says.
Why? He points out that in the myth of Pandora, after she's opened the box and released a host of evils, at the bottom of the box lies hope.
—Adapted from "Pandora's Long Strange Trip," Stephanie Clifford, Inc.

More than likely,
it's a formula problem, not a calculation problem. If you're getting zeros in CHANGED cells, your formulas are doing exactly what you told them to do AND they can find the source data AND they're calculating. If they weren't, you would get an error.
If these formulas used the conditional sum wizard that sets the { } curley brackets around the formula, you need to hold CTRL+SHIFT while pressing ENTER in that cell after you have changed it.
Iteration box
If you use circular references in your spreadsheet, make sure the iteration check box is checked (Tools->Options->Calculation). Sometimes when you share a workbook, the checkmark disappears.
Tools / Addins / Analysis Toolpak
When sharing a spreadsheet that required BIN2DEC & DEC2BIN functions, other users couldn't get the values to calculate because they did not have the Analysis Toolpak addins.
When they sent the spreadsheet back to me, the vaules would not calculate without copying the formulas anew.

About 25 miles from our final destination, we hit some of the stop and go traffic that is so common on Southern California freeways.
I came to a stop and heard a loud crash and the shattering of glass. Just as I registered that the sound meant we had been rear-ended, I heard another crash and felt myself being thrown against the seat belt. The rear-end collision had pushed us into the car in front of us.
I sat frozen for a minute and then C's cries sprung me into action. I started to voice reassurance as I climbed into the back seat. Glass was everywhere. How much had hit C? I instantly wondered.
I couldn't see the answer immediately. The seat had been thrown toward the back seat, forming a clam shell around her. I tilted it back quickly and began assessing C for injuries. There was a tiny amount of blood on her wrist from a slight scratch.
No other cuts or abrasions. No broken bones.
Granted, this was a fairly low-speed collision. The airbag did not deploy. But I am so thankful that we had C rear-facing. (By the way, I'm fine as well.)
The NHTSA recommends that car seats be replaced after moderate and severe collisions, but not necessarily after a minor collision.
They define a minor collision as one which meets all the following criteria:
- The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site;
- The vehicle door nearest the safety seat was undamaged;
- There were no injuries to any of the vehicle occupants;
- The air bags (if present) did not deploy; AND
- There is no visible damage to the safety seat
My car was not able to be driven away from the scene, and the door closest to C was bent slightly.
So we bought a new car seat, one that is rated for rear-facing up to 40 pounds (our previous seat was rated for rear-facing up to 35 pounds).
Even though she is three years old, C weighs just 28.5 pounds. She'll be rear-facing for quite some time!

Continuing his campaign to be thought of as a grown-up with thoughts and feelings unrelated to Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe decided to tell that world that he has, in fact, slept with groupies. Just the kind of need-to-know information I was hoping for in today's news cycle!
In a new interview, Radcliffe complains about the awkwardness of getting involved with fans, explaining, "I was always very nervous about the groupie thing. I like to like someone before I sleep with them. You know, you're going to have to talk to them afterwards, even if it is a one-night stand."
Radcliffe added, "I have… I mean, that has happened, but generally speaking I've known the person. Apart from a few times when I was drinking."
First the booze and now this? Next thing you know this rebel without a cause might even buy a skateboard! Mothers, lock up your daughters.

Je remercie l'Assemblée générale d'avoir décidé de rendre hommage à mon éminent prédécesseur, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Je présente mes sincères condoléances à sa veuve, Mme Leia Boutros-Ghali, aux autres membres de la famille Boutros-Ghali, au peuple égyptien et à tous ceux et celles qui déplorent cette perte.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali had both the fortune and the misfortune to serve as the first post-Cold-War Secretary-General of the United Nations.
While the United Nations was never as paralyzed during the Cold War as many have portrayed, the new dynamic gave the Organization new leeway to act. This brought promise and peril -- and Mr. Boutros-Ghali experienced both.
In his very first month in office, Mr. Boutros-Ghali presided over the first-ever Summit of the Security Council -- a powerful symbol of the will of world leaders to make greater use of the United Nations. "As the new era begins", Mr. Boutros-Ghali told the assembled leaders, "it calls for both ideas and action to place international life on stronger foundations."
Mr. Boutros-Ghali was a fount of ideas, building on his long career as a professor of international law. He broke barriers as the first African and Arab Secretary-General of the United Nations, and consistently gave voice to the poorest and least powerful members of the human family. He steered the Organization through a series of world conferences on the environment, population, human rights, women's rights, social development and the unique challenges faced by the world's small island developing states. These global gatherings captured the imagination and gave the world exciting new policies, directions and purpose. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that is our inspiring new template today owes much to the pioneering intellectual work of the 1990s.
Mr. Boutros-Ghali also oversaw remarkable growth in peacekeeping. His "Agenda for Peace" report made far-reaching proposals for fortifying this flagship UN activity, many of which have since become standard practice -- but many of which also remain unfulfilled. During his time in office, peacekeeping helped Cambodia, El Salvador, Mozambique and other countries emerge from conflict. At the same time, engagements in the Balkans, Somalia and Rwanda highlighted the gap between the needs of a given situation and the material support and political unity required from the Member States, in particular the Security Council. Here, too, the echoes resound and, indeed, haunt us to this very today.
Mr. Boutros-Ghali pursued major restructuring efforts, managerial reforms and other steps that strengthened the United Nations. In his report "An Agenda for Democratization", he broke new ground in emphasizing the links between peace, development and democracy at the national level -- and in his calls for the democratization of the international system.
Mr. Boutros-Ghali won respect near and far, including as a leading Egyptian diplomat before joining the United Nations and, afterwards, as Secretary-General of La Francophonie. Yet he never attempted to endear himself to everybody. Perhaps he was too direct for some; he might have been too professorial for others; some definitely found him too independent -- a goal that he considered among the highest virtues for any Secretary-General of the United Nations.
I thank my predecessor for his lasting contributions to our work – and I invite all of you to share your thoughts and tributes in a Book of Condolences which has been placed near the Meditation Room just outside this Hall.
At a tumultuous time, Boutros Boutros-Ghali helped the United Nations find its footing in a new global landscape. As we do the same today, let us continue to build on his legacy. May he rest in peace.
Thank you.

Talon General Guide by PentaKill Kamson
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Talon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
For marks you take armour penatration. For seals and Glyphs you need to take all flat attack damage runes. For Quints., you need to take two armour pen and one attack damage. This would give you great harrassing and killing ability early and mid game. And you wont really have to buy in armour pen items in game until late to never.
You should take all thirty in offense cause thats his main priority.. cause with the items you choose you should have great survivability. Also, the armour pen and cooldown reduction with the extra attack added to your runes really make him a BIG threat.
Your items are like are for survivability if used right and a psych out because with your items choices they will think you are a noob talon and will fail and won't be any threat at all. This build is so unique you are going to laugh when you figure that it works. This is one of those items builds that you really can't explain. You just have to use or see it to believe it. :P
Skill Sequence
Now this totally goes against Phreak's spotlight on Talon. You want to get noxian diplomacy first and play safe and max it first. At level two you want to get cutthroat( this will be maxed last). Once you get level two you should be able to get a good kill.. You want to cutthroat in then activate noxian diplomacy.. This will take a great deal of there health and if they stay to fight you they will surely die. Make sure you have a good teammate or KNOW you can kill him easily. You want to take rake (max this skill second) at 3 which will make you even more dangerous because of that extra slow damage plus cutthroat. Totally melt your opponent. Take shadow assault at the levels as it come up. (6 11 16).
Summoner Spells
You want to take Ignite and Exhaust if you want to play really agressive but if you are new and you don't wannt take any chances take flash and ghost for chasing and running capability. Exhaust will help with your survivabilty killing enemies and it activates your passive. And your ignite will kill enemies if the bleed from noxian diplomacy and your executioners blade doesnt finish the job.
He needs to majorly farm. And also he is a great threat when fed. Your build is cheap early game so you want to get those items as fast as possible.
Creeping / Jungling
All you need to know is grab the golem and lizard buff in 5v5 as whenever they come up. Unless someone else needs it. Try not to jungle on the enemies side unless they have no turrets that far or if you have team coverage.
Team Work
Now Talon is a very greedy player but he can be a great support. Try to take top lane as much as possible. He prevails there the most. You almost never want to initiate unless you are sure you can take the heat. Other wise you want to aim for there ranged players and there mages first. Easy kills indeed . just burst in with cutthroat then shadow assault. depending on if they on top of you or not you can choose to get those kill by noxian diplomacy then rank and then auto attack and use your abilities when they come or run out of there to battle again after your abilities cool down. If you are 1 v 1 a mage by spamming your abilities.. it will be extremley easy but if you are 1 v 1 somoene like sion or xin zhao you want to cutthroat in and then noxian diplomacy then rake and then fight.. and when you hit about half health use your ult then cast you executioners calling (and ignite and exhaust if possible) then reactivat your ult if not activate already and destroy the rest of his health with cutthroat and noxian diplomacy. Oh and always be last or second to last to enter a team fight. He is basically clean up duty.
Well that's all for Talon.. Dont know the build till you try it.. Its really fun to use and will keep you on your toes.. And hey if you dont want to try to use it then just add me on League of Legends and I will prove it to you or walk you through him. My IGN: Kamson . Hope this build help and have fun getting legendary a good amount of your gameplay. :)

West Ham are two up against United.
Question, then: are the best teams in the Premier League not as good as they used to be? Or are the lesser teams better? Or both? And what does that tell us about Fulham?
I suspect it's a bit of everything. There are certain indicators: Chelsea are older than when they were great. United's best player (Ronaldo) in recent memory has gone, Rooney's off form, Ferdinand never plays. Arsenal are in a perpetual neverland (but if they can avoid getting too upset if they don't win this year, surely they are well set for next?) Man City are perhaps a year away from gelling, perhaps not. Liverpool might be back soon. So the top teams are okay but not great by recent (very high) standards.
At the bottom it's anyone's guess, but West Ham have happened on some good players at a good time, and most of the mid-rank teams look fairly handy. I don't know that the worst teams in the league are especially good, but there are no disasters playing this season and the more adventurous approaches taken by Blackpool, Wigan, and previously WBA does I suspect make them liable to confusing better teams when the stars are correctly aligned.
Anyway, interesting stuff, no? Having muttered about football behind its back while it's been away, I'm all smiles now we're back to normal. Fickle…
PS all this does underline the folly of footballing decision making. We see Rooney, rewarded with a mega-contract despite not playing well for an eternity, Chelsea have Torres for £50m despite his dire form. Couldn't both sides have gone on to better things with better decision making? PPS Lee Mason, in charge of West Ham v United today, has a good record of home wins when the away team is the favourite

Guest Column: The year technology changed the travel industry: Prabhat Gupta
The travel industry witnessed a quality surge of applied technology which is facilitating in optimization of planning, customizing and booking, writes Prabhat Gupta, Co-founder and CTO of TravelTriangle
Technology, no matter how cutting edge, finds value only when it makes a difference in the lives of people.
Fortunately, the travel industry is witnessing a quality surge of applied technology which is facilitating in optimization of planning, customizing and booking. Technology is also making the jobs of millions of people (travel industry is the largest employer in the world) more fulfilling and better paying.
The internet has brought one of the biggest revolutions in the industry. Earlier, while travelers depended on brochures and third party information on destinations (especially foreign) and other things related to itinerary, now people go online and search for themselves, more often than not from trusted and official sources. According to a Google finding, 78 per cent holiday travelers used internet for destination research.
Internet is also helping in bridging the demand and supply gap. Couple of years back, many quality agents (who provided super value on the packages) could not connect with a large segment of the target audience (traveler) as the latter were increasingly coming online while the former was oblivious of its merits. In many cases travelers picked up inflated packages. One of the solutions is to sort out the demand supply mismatch by connecting expert destination planners (agents) with genuine travelers.
India is today the third largest smartphone market in the world and will have 314million mobile internet users by 2017. This means more value and customization both for travelers as well as travel agents.
The mobile internet also means apps. An app is an even more convenient method than a website and is accessible anytime. With weekend getaways on the way of becoming impulse buy, the mobile app will play a bigger role in holiday planning.
A Google Map today ensures that you are not lost in a new place and your mobile wallet ensures that you don't have to worry about the cash and card you carry on your holidays.
To sum it up, technology is making travel easier, faster and more convenient and it will get better with time.

Orono girl thanks firefighters with a sign from across the street
As firefighters battled flames threatening a home in Orono, Minn. Friday night to kick off Memorial Day weekend, a young girl took the time to thank them for their service from across the street.
The home on the 100 block of Luce Line Ridge was unoccupied as the fire spread from the garage and onto to the roof. There were no injuries, but least one neighbor decided it was her civic duty to thank the west metro fire crews for their efforts.
Fire officials arrived on scene after 6 p.m. and began clearing out around 9. The cause of the fire has not been determined.

Golden hour is a thing of beauty, especially in the summer. The warm color that sweeps across everything the light touches as the sun goes down is pure magic. As a chaser of the light, it's my favorite time of day. This past weekend I felt so inspired sitting on a patio in light layers at dusk. With my head tilted back towards the fleeting sun, I felt the first inklings of summer on a perfectly warm seventy-degree evening. Is there anything better than the ease of that kind of setting with a glass of wine?
As a longtime fan of L'occitane, I was more than happy to receive their newest fragrance, Terre de Lumière, inspired by Golden Hour. The scent is simply mesmerizing–just like the hues of a summer evening. It has delicate notes of lavender, honey, and almond– a dreamy combination that paints a scene in my mind of sitting in a beautiful garden in the South of France. It is perfectly rich and subtly sweet–giving me all the summertime feels…
This past weekend (accompanied by my pretty new scent) inspired me to shift gears into a summer state of mind. Only a couple short weeks away, but until then, I've found some inspiration to help us get into the mood.
Dinner garden parties, sunset picnics, or even a bottle of rosé at home with the windows wide open– spending as much time outside as possible and indulging with friends are what I love most about summer. A trip to France wouldn't be so bad either! I love effortless and romantic summer clothing, freckles that pop up, changing up the beauty shelf to align with a dewy bronzed glow, and adding a sweet scent to spritz throughout the season.
A few more L'occitane products I've been loving for years…

A big thank you to L'occitane for collaborating on this post

Shaco 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.
troll team ftw! [Items] [ Summoner spells]
Welcome to trollers rift! If you like sykkono, you have probably watched the video where he and a subscriber / friend plays shaco and blitzcrank with the same tactic.
[ Tactic ]
The tactic is simple, go bottom lane, hide in their bush, let shaco plant ALOT of traps, and blitzcrank pull them into it. This guide is inspired by that. That is basically your gameplay!
Shaco items is aimed at doing as much damage with his traps, giving him a bit tank, and statis.
Blitzcranks items are totally weirdo, im aware of that. The point is that lich banes passive,
Will deal ALOT of damage, also as his grab.
I've already explained that. But i'll take it again. Blitzcrank pulls the enemy team into shacos high damage traps, hopefully they will die and u will get alot of money from this.
[Word from creator]
This is perhaps not the best build, ( Can work ) but it will sure give you a good laugh!

Starina Mala Vitaljina (Konavle) | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Web Ref: 3452 | Sleeps 4

Just Discovered - New for 2017!
The Hanley Family commented...
Starina Mala 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | WiFi | Dubrovnik Old Town 45km | Sleeps 4
To the south of the unmissable UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dubrovnik lies the scenic and unspoilt Konavle valley. Peppered with vineyards, pomegranate shrubs and towering wild cypress trees, it is edged on one side by craggy hills and on the other by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Nestled at its southern end, close to the border with Montenegro, lies Starina Mala, tucked away behind stone walls in the hamlet of Vitaljina.
A spacious covered dining terrace wraps itself around two sides of the cottage, punctuated at one end by an impressive inbuilt barbecue, creating the perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxing. From this convivial spot, step inside and you will discover a contemporary interior behind the traditional stone walls. The ground floor is given over to a bright and fresh open plan kitchen/dining/living space, the white walls given a splash of colour by modern artwork. An open sided staircase leads to the first floor where two bedrooms and a shower room can be found.
The terraced lawn leads to the pool and rear terrace, part of which, interestingly, was once the stone threshing circle used by the villagers in days gone by. Nowadays though, the only activities it will be used for are sunbathing and relaxing by the pool!
The charming fishing village of Molunat (10km) offers a fine shingle beach, a couple of restaurants and a small store. A wider choice of amenities can be found in Gruda (15km), surrounded by vineyards and orchards. Further on lies Cavtat (30km), a strikingly pretty coastal town, from where you can take the ferry to Dubrovnik.
Alternatively, visit another country for the day. Pop across the border into Montenegro and explore the town of Herceg Novi (15km), known for its abundance of mimosa trees and tropical flowers.
The rear/poolside terrace is somewhat uneven in parts and would not be ideal for younger children or anyone unsteady on their feet.
Open stairs leading up from the living room mean that younger children may need supervision.

Windows 7
Laptop won't fall asleep
I have finally found how to keep my computer from spontaneously waking up, and am trying now to get it to fall asleep at the appointed time. Have done all the power option settings, including allowing the computer to sleep under multimedia settings/when sharing media. When entering powercfg requests I initially found that my audio driver was allowing an audio stream to keep the computer awake. So I entered:
powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER "Realtek High Definition Audio" System
and that seemed to do the trick. For a day. Now it still wont sleep, and when I enter powercfg requests I get the following response:
[DRIVER] USB Audio Device (USB\VID_074D&PID_3554&MI_00\7&1635a614&0&0000)
An audio stream is currently in use
[DRIVER] Legacy Kernel Caller
Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help.

Saikin, Imōto no Yōsu ga Chotto Okashiin Da Ga (Recently, my sister is unusual)
Original creator (manga) : Mari Matsuzawa
Plot summary : A girl named Mitsuki Kanzaki lives with her step-brother Yūya after her mother remarries. One day, Mitsuki is possessed by the self-proclaimed spirit of a young girl, Hiyori Kotobuki. Hiyori (in Mitsuki's body) must fall in love with Yūya to move towards the "Gates of Heaven."
Note : Matsuzawa launched the manga in Kadokawa Group Publishing's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in 2010, and Kadokawa is publishing the fourth compiled book volume this Saturday, December 8.
The plot sounds interesting, but the screenshots I've seen proves me that it's going to be bordeline hentai. Still, no matter how obnoxious the plot looks, I will try the first few episodes to see if it's really good.
I will see ;)
Even this?
Have to say the art above is not to my taste.....
Good plot + Good fan service (nudity with sense) = Good anime...
4chan /a/'s calling it shit already. :heh:
But I have to agree with them. Some authors are still trying to cash in on the success of imouto-themed with long names... and this decided that adding some stimulating scenes would make it sell hard. That doesn't work all the time...
Welp, the first volume's ranked at 14513rd on Amazon's comic book ranking. :heh:
^Who knows, maybe the anime will increase those rankings.:heh:
I'm gonna check out the manga to see how this is.
seriously there's been an increase in brocon siscon stories or purely sibling love. Though among all of it the only one I remember that is good is oreimo from all the recent anime that I watch that has this theme.
^ I dunno if Oreimo was the one that truly launched "bro-sis interaction" series into anime popularity nowadays.
Compared it with Onii-chan and Sora animes whether one or both are actually trying if not already crossed the line that's why some viewers just quit the series because they can't stomach it any longer...
...Is that a chastity belt?
Yeah, I agree there.
Its fanservice ecchi and the characters are bland with childhood friends rivals or just plain annoying ones like that spirit.
I dropped the series long time ago, so I wonder if the series improved after that:uhoh:.
Oreimo is just a tease, is that very fact that hooks the viewers to keep reading and watching even if they never get what they expect.
...... Okay.......
sorry my eyes are bad. Can't see it clear without my glasses
So its another fan service treat for the otaku's
I feel bad for the anime industry but at least there are still good ones being shown. Need a solid story and not just pure moeness and ecchiness.
The author of Inukami did this one too. Those who remember that one will know some of what to expect from this (namely sexual zaniness).
Imagine when feel. will animate this ?
When it comes to the story however, I have the feeling it's going to get worse each time due to its racy content (based on what I saw the manga panels).
3 girls....harem maybe ?:heh:

Mango West Bund Plaza is at the centre of plans to transform a Shanghai riverside site into a vibrant cultural and entertainment area, with the Central Plaza park and Mango Box building adding a firm emphasis on landscaping and sustainability.
With views that slope gently back towards the hectic centre, Shanghai's Xuhui Riverside area is one of the city's most pleasant locations. A short journey out of the core centre, and adjacent to the Huangpu River, the stretch of land is a favourite with joggers and strolling families, escaping the Shanghai crowds.
As a former cement plant, the waterfront site's potential has been somewhat neglected in recent years. But this key site is set for massive regeneration; after being identified as a development site in the government's last Five Year Plan, a masterplan for a mixed-use riverside community has been drawn up.
The project is one of Shanghai's most significant developments, its DreamCenter Masterplan, completed by Benoy, featuring nine plots of land to be regenerated into space for the creative media, technology and cultural industries. When completed in 2018, it will boast the "DreamCenter" entertainment and cultural district, drawn up by Dream-Works Animation and its Chinese partners.
The massive riverside complex will include a 500-seat IMAX cinema, performance venues, theatres, art exhibition space, restaurants, shops and offices. It will be connected by a new subway stop and is about 30 minutes drive from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
Older buildings at the former industrial site will be given a new lease of life. The former cement factory will become a performance venue and a boat shed will be transformed into an arts and entertainment hub. Designers have focused on matching the scheme to its environment and the masterplan connects neighbouring plots with pedestrian bridges and mezzanine platforms.
Benoy is also designing the largest plot in the masterplan, known as Mango West Bund Plaza, where TV station Hunan TV plans to locate its new offices. At the heart of its site is the Central Plaza park with landscaped terraces and a grand staircase.
Benoy's landmark, 40m tall 'Mango Box' is framed by transparent curtain wall systems and parametric metallic panels. Its envelope is designed to filter excessive sunlight by adopting low-E glasses, while showing off the interiors with intriguing weaving geometries and a grand staircase linking mezzanine floors to form a continuous vertical circulation. The building becomes a glowing lantern at night for the site and its neighbouring plots.
"Everyone knows solar can make a great impact on a scheme; our building's layout is oriented on the east-west axis, allowing it to get the most potential solar energy," says Qin Pang, director and head of Benoy's Shanghai studio. "It allows the solar rotation to follow the pattern of the sun. The glass has several insulated layers, allowing the maximum amount of the sunlight through. We can save 25-30% on energy consumption annually."
The façades of the offices will feature three types of fins, designed to create undulating wave patterns and mirror the scheme's waterfront location, while also working as an external shading device.
"This is a flagship building in Shanghai that [Hunan TV] can show off across China," says Qin. "We needed the government of Hunan province to approve the final design, as well as the Shanghai government, so had to work hard to meet a lot of different needs."
The Mango Box has been designed with great flexibility, says Qin, partly to allow it to house a wide range of cultural programmes, but also to future-proof the scheme to be able to deal with future demands. Mango West Bund Plaza is an improvement on other Shanghai developments in terms of its high sustainability credentials; its designers hope it will become one of the few Shanghai buildings to achieve a LEED certification.
"Saving energy is deeply rooted in China's culture," adds Qin. "The country was not rich and there was nothing to waste. But there's been a lack of knowledge about sustainable development and a fear of costs. Once the process is explained and understood, developers accept it. This project is a good example. Once we explained our plans to the client about sustainability they saw that the cost was not a barrier and this is a long-term strategy. It is understanding that the benefit isn't always immediate."
The development's pioneering nature has secured a place on the shortlists of this year's World Architecture Festival awards. "Development in this kind of extremely precious area can have a big impact on the natural environment," says Qin. "We are innovators, we are showing people there is a way to make life better and greener."

If you think for a minute that the national debt of $16 trillion (or
$45,000 per person) is scary, consider this: It is only the tip of the
iceberg of America's indebtedness. In addition to the official national
debt, the U.S. government and state governments have additional
off-balance sheets with unfunded obligations estimated to be as much as
$100 trillion to $150 trillion. This equates to half a million dollars
per person. These obligations include unfunded pension liabilities,
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and states' unfunded liabilities.
If American politicians don't restructure the government's promises, it is only a matter of time before our nation goes broke. The only thing keeping America from going totally bankrupt is the Federal Reserve Bank. Over the last three years, the Fed has bought about half of America's debt. Where does the Fed find the money to fund our debt? It prints it like there is no tomorrow! Our only constraint on runaway inflation from this increasing money supply is a stagnant, deflationary economy. When the economy truly begins to recover, expect the chickens to come home to roost with inflation roaring back like the Falls of Niagara. At that point, America will begin to pay her bills. Sadly, "we the people" paying the bills will be the middle class's savings and fixed salaries. Inflation will decimate the value of their savings, salary and lifestyle.
