This low-prices hoverboard segway has a top speed of 10 mph which is awesome for such an inexpensive device. It also has a moderate max distance at around 20 miles, this depends on the users weight. It can carry around 240lbs without any problems, all that changes a little bit are the top speed and how far you can go on a single charge. The recharge time is a bit on the bad side but hey for a self-balancing device as cheap as this one you have to agree that a bit longer charging time is nothing major.
This is by far the most bang for the buck you can get. The Swagway hoverboard is reliable and has all the safety documentation. And 200+ customer reviews, they can't all be wrong can they?

text: So, I have been preparing an octo-tank and for months and feel I'm ready to put one in. The species I want is O.Briareus and I'm on a waiting list for one. Here are my specs. I have a 72 gallon bowfront that is completely sealed. I am currently running a Fluval 305 canister filter, powerhead, air pump and heater that keeps a pretty consistent 79d. I have a aqua c urchin that I will be running when the octopus gets here. My water quality seems to be very good aside from all my tests that check great. I've been using tap water as my source for now, I've been considering buying a water distiller. Fortunately Cincinnati has one of the best water filtration systems in the country (so I'm told) and everything in there is doing great. Here is whats in there. I have a condy anemone, rock anemone, 2 ricordeas, 2 harlequin stars, a brittle star, nudibranch, a turbo, and a flame scallop. As I hear, some of these tankmates aren't suitable. Any advice as what else is suitable or on anything else? Pretty sure I can do some trades on these guys with my LFS. Thanks!

It also creates a task force to conduct an impact assessment on medical cannabis therapeutic research and provides for certain criminal and civil protections for parties involved in the registry program. This passed the House 89-40 and the Senate 46-16.
"I thank everyone who worked together to craft and pass this legislation." said Governor Dayton. "I pray it will bring to the victims of ravaging illnesses the relief they are hoping for."

Chappell, Shastri slam Dhoni's captaincy
Former captains Ian Chapppell (Australia) and Ravi Shastri (India) pulled no punches when it came to commenting on Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy after Day Two of the second Test here yesterday.
Ravi Shastri
Speaking in a post-day show beamed on ESPN-Star Sports, Shastri wondered by the India skipper used a deep point fielder when off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was bowling. "Ashwin has a role too," emphasised Shastri.
Ian Chappell
"He should tell the captain that I don't want a fielder there because I am not bowling short." Chappell was surprised Dhoni used Virender Sehwag, a part-time bowler towards the end of the day with Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey in full flight. "I don't know why Sachin (Tendulkar) is not bowling, but it would have been better to use a wrist spinner because of the bounce," said Chappell.
Both erstwhile skippers felt Dhoni was not as aggressive as he should have been. Chappell emphasised that very often international captains just stick to what is discussed at the team meeting and are not willing to change strategy when things go awry on the field.
Said Chappell: "Someone said this about good captaincy... it is like pornography -- hard to define but you know it when you see it." Chappell credited Dhoni for being a very good one-day skipper but the downside was that he allows some defensive tactics creep into his Test captaincy.He also said it was up to senior players to pull their side out of a mess: "Someone should come and say, 'give me that ball and I will do something.' "

Representative proceedings (or class actions) have recently come under increased scrutiny in both the policy and commercial contexts. The High Court yesterday rejected special leave to appeal from the Victorian Court of Appeal's decision dealing with lawyer driven class actions, adding further fuel to the class actions funding debate. The High Court did not have difficulty in reaching its decision to reject special leave, indeed, Justices Hayne and Keane rejected the application without reserving judgment and did not request submissions from the Respondent.
The special leave application was to appeal from the Victorian Court of Appeal's decision in Treasury Wine Estates Limited v Melbourne City Investments Pty Ltd [2014] VSCA 351 (Treasury Wine Estates v MCI). Melbourne City Investments (MCI), a company owned and directed by Mark Elliott, purchased a parcel of shares in various Australian listed entities on the date of its incorporation, 1 November 2012. Since then, MCI has commenced various class action proceedings and Mark Elliott has acted as the solicitor in several of those proceedings.
In Treasury Wine Estates v MCI, Treasury Wine Estates and Leighton Holdings Limited sought to restrain Mr Elliott from acting for MCI in the proceeding. Treasury Wine Estates and Leighton Holdings Limited alleged that Mr Elliott had commenced the proceedings for the purpose of generating legal fees and that his acting for MCI constituted an abuse of process.
At trial, her Honour Justice Ferguson held that MCI's conduct was not an abuse of process because, although Mr Elliott would generate legal fees, MCI's immediate aim in commencing proceedings was not generating legal fees, but rather, vindicating the impugned legal rights via the class action. Her Honour also declined to stay the proceedings upon the undertaking by Mr Elliott that he would discontinue acting for MCI and that another solicitor was appointed. Very shortly after her Honour's decision, MCI commenced fresh proceedings with a different solicitor acting.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal reversed Justice Ferguson's decision. The Court of Appeal held that MCI's 'sole purpose has only ever been to create for itself – in this case, by acquiring for a small parcel of shares – a cause of action of sufficient merit to induce the defendant company to pay Mr Elliott's fees.'
In its special leave application MCI argued that the class members in the original action would be disadvantaged if the High Court did not allow the proceeding to continue. In particular, it argued that the original proceeding was commenced over one year earlier than the identical proceeding freshly issued with a different solicitor appointed. The Court was not persuaded by this argument, and asked MCI's lawyers, if the purpose of the proceeding had 'miraculously transformed?'
This High Court's decision will not come as a surprise to many in the legal community. It is worth, however, noting that the decision is consistent with the Productivity Commission's Inquiry Report released late last year. The report recommends regulation of third party litigation funding and preventing legal practitioners from attempting to bypass contingency fee prohibitions. It will be interesting to see what legislative developments will occur in the coming year. Regardless of the form that regulatory development takes, any overhaul in regulation of litigation funding will have a significant impact on the insurance industry and the class actions régime.

text: OK, last night and the other day I was having problems calling. I was useing the dialer on the home screen, on the slider menu at the bottom - no dialer app. Well I attempted to pull that up and to my surprise it keep cycling, "no service, 1ex, 3g, no service", never even saw the dialer pull up. Wifi was off. I could kill some apps and then tried, it "almost" popped up but no success. I've read other threads where people have had the same issue, possibly an app using 1ex or SMS taking priority, or possibly a bunk phone. I don't know. I did try another location and the phone worked fine but this was in my own home, I should be able to make phone calls in my own house... SO, to those with this problem an easy work-a-round is to simply move the "dialer" app in your app tray to your home screen, this and "voice commands" work every time. I am willing to go to Verizon and maybe get another phone if this is a problem but I can deal with this work-a-round until they have plenty in stock. Hopes this helps people, found the post last night but I couldn't this morning so if this is a re post please move/remove.

Morton Ann Gernsbacher, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, suspected
that students with disabilities were widely misunderstood
on university campuses. To test that hypothesis, in 2013 she
surveyed students, instructors and staff at the University of
Wisconsin–Madison, as well as collecting data from other Big
10 schools.
Her results — presented at APA's convention last summer —
point to surprising discrepancies among people's perceptions
of disability and the reality. Everyone — students with or
without disabilities, administrators and faculty — tended to
underestimate the number of students with psychological
Perhaps more surprising is that study participantsalso overestimated the number of students with mobilityimpairments. But on college campuses these days, "the greatestmajority of students with disabilities have psychologicaldisabilities," emphasizes Gernsbacher. Although the study didn'tdistinguish among particular psychological disabilities, shesays this category includes depression, anxiety, eating disorders,phobias and the like.
These invisible disorders can cause silent struggles. Rhoda
Olkin, PhD, a clinical psychology professor at the California
School of Professional Psychology, notes that students with
psychological disabilities may be reluctant to identify their
disabilities and therefore miss out on accommodations that
would help them, such as more time for tests or flexibility in
meeting deadlines.
The stigma that keeps students with psychological
disabilities silent can also prevent others from seeing the need
for such accommodations. For example, Gernsbacher's study
found that because people are less aware of the struggles that
students with psychological disabilities face, most participants
agreed that it's fair for deaf students to have sign-language
interpreters and blind students to have course materials in
Braille. But respondents didn't see it as fair for students with
psychological challenges or chronic health disorders to have
flexible deadlines or extended test time.
Meanwhile, although all students may want flexibledeadlines or extended time for a test, certain students need

Perceptions of studentswith disabilities are ofteninaccurate, including views of their capabilities, what they need to succeed,how they should be treated, and even what types of disabilities they have.

Scientists have discovered that a good night's sleep can help patients deal with unpleasant or traumatic events, thanks to a link between dreams and memory.
Researchers at the University of California recruited 35 volunteers and split them into two groups. All the volunteers were shown 150 images designed to provoke an emotional reaction. One group was then allowed a good night's sleep.
The following day, all the volunteers were shown the images a second time inside an MRI scanner to map blood glow in the brain.
Those who had had slept properly had less activity in the amygdala, a part of the brain associated with heightened emotions, and more activity in the region linked to rational thinking.
In contrast, those who had no sleep responded with a far more emotional response to seeing the pictures again.
There is significant evidence that REM sleep, the sleep in which we dream, plays a role in processing recent memories.
Dr Matthew Walker, who led the study published in journal Current Biology, said: "We know that during REM sleep there is a sharp decrease in norepinephrine, a brain chemical associated with stress.
"By reprocessing previous emotional experiences in this neurochemically safe environment of low norepinephrine during REM sleep, we wake up the next day, and those experiences have been softened in their emotional strength."
"We feel better about them, we feel we can cope."
Most people have to deal with traumatic events at some points in their lives, and for some these can produce post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers believe that further investigation into dreaming and memories could help patients with PTSD.

A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.

With miles of stunning coastline and a year round perfect climate, it is no surprise that Turkey is starting to build up a good base of overseas property owners who are helping to spread the word about the potential opportunities available there.
In recent years, as resorts in Spain and Portugal became over run with new developments and tourism, holidaymakers and buyers alike started to look further afield to countries such as Turkey, in search of something cheaper and more authentic.
Turkey's position outside the Eurozone means that it was not caught up in any Euro problems and, as a result, property prices did not suffer as badly as other countries. The market has also been given an extra boost by investors from the Middle East and Russia, after Turkey lifted their buying restrictions in 2012.
Areas on the South West coast, where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, are popular due to the good mix of small traditional fishing villages, such as Cesme or Kusadasi and bigger lively resorts like Bodrum. Property in the district of Fethiye is also favoured among British buyers, but is slightly more expensive than other areas owing to its proximity to Olu Deniz, a blue flag beach resort.
The 'reciprocity principle' has been lifted (where foreign citizens may purchase freehold land and property in their own names providing that Turkish citizens are allowed to do the same in the purchaser's country of origin or residence) and this has enabled nationals of many Middle Eastern countries to buy property in Turkey. This has increased the demand for the Turkish property market and has led to high returns for investors.
It is worth noting that certain areas within the country are protected or zoned off, meaning people cannot buy or build property in these zones. Therefore, you must get the Turkish government's approval before purchasing any type of property or land. If the permission was granted for the land that the property is located on after May 2011, no approval is required from the government.
Although Turkey offers good value for money in comparison to other countries, the interest rates on mortgages are much higher at approximately 6.50% in Euros and Sterling. Banks are currently willing to lend applicants a maximum loan to value of 75%, but this could be as low as 50 or 60% depending on where the applicant lives (ie: Middle East) and where the property is located.
As an example, mortgages are available for a maximum term of 20 years, or until the 75th Birthday of the oldest applicant. Proof of projected retirement income is also a requirement for applicants aged 57 and over, if they require the mortgage to continue past the normal retirement age.

Book Review: Dauntless
7:26 PM | Posted by Chelsey
Publication Date: March 3, 2015
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Series: Valiant Hearts # 1
Though once a baron's daughter, Lady Merry Ellison is willing to go to any lengths to protect the orphaned children of her former village. Dubbed "The Ghosts of Farthingale Forest," her band of followers soon become enemies of the throne when they hijack ill-gotten gold meant for the king.
Timothy Grey, ninth child of the Baron of Greyham, longs to perform some feat so legendary that he will rise from obscurity and earn a title of his own. When the Ghosts of Farthingale Forest are spotted in Wyndeshire, where he serves as assistant to the local earl, he might have found his chance. But when he comes face-to-face with the leader of the thieves, will he choose fame or love?
Timothy Grey, ninth child of the Baron of Greyham, longs to perform some feat so legendary that he will rise from obscurity and earn a title of his own. When the Ghosts of Farthingale Forest are spotted in Wyndeshire, where he serves as assistant to the local earl, he might have found his chance. But when he comes face-to-face with the leader of the thieves, will he choose fame or love?
Lady Merry Ellison had no need of a man. Now or ever. She had not been able to rely upon her father, nor her brother. No, she could rely upon no one but herself.
Merry would hold to one principle only: Do whatever it takes to protect these children.
And he dared not think what it might mean for his heart if Merry had been taken from them for good.
This sparkling new novel is aimed at juveniles or young adults, but to all my fabulous readers I just want to say that I know that adults will love Merry's story as well. Merry Ellison is a fearless, courageous, and highly intelligent heroine and role model. Her journey is sure to please readers of all ages and keep them anxiously awaiting other great characters just like her. Merry has been dealt a tough lot, and now she and her followers must rely on their wits to guide them as they are on the run in a world that seems like it is about to come crashing down around them. Merry reminds me so much of a valiant Robin Hood; her actions are powerful and the message she sends as a strong female lead makes this book undoubtedly one of the best I have read this year!
Sleiman sends a strong message with the types of characters she writes; from what I can gather, this entire series will focus around strong women and the men that love them. There is something to be said for an author that can write characters who are far from perfect, makes bad choices and mistakes, but yet when we finish reading the books we feel as if we have lost our best friends. The author's message is clear to young girls and boys alike; follow your heart, be brave, and allow God to lead and guide you. I cannot wait for what more the author has in store for this series and I am so humbled and honored that she allowed me to read and review this book. We all need a female Robin Hood to look up to; go out, pick up a copy of this book, and become enraptured in Merry Ellison's story, just like I did!
***A free copy of this book was provided to me by the publishers at Bethany House and by the author, Dina Sleiman, in exchange for my honest review***

Her son has managed to perform yet another magical disappearing act. Could he actually be buried under the mountain of festering washing which is strewn on his bedroom floor? He'll certainly be buried somewhere when she next gets her hands on him after last night's shenanigans.
Everyone else seems to enjoy life to the maximum. Even the ancient next door neighbours know how to have fun. When they aren't getting people blotto with their homemade wine, they spend weekends shooting off on their new motor bike, which they bought from his 'PeaPad'.
So, what do you think? Is it interesting enough or should I rewrite? Speak your mind please...help!

There is too much room for coercion, fraud, and unethical practices in an adoption system based on the economic principles of supply & demand. Look at countries such as Australia...they completely removed the money and marketing in adoption and restored the rights of all adoptees to their birth certificates and identities. Adoptees are not commodities or perpetual children, but adoption law treats them as exactly that. www.PeachNeitherHereNorThere.blogspot.com
Brown has been fighting for his daughter since she was a tiny baby. If the prospective adoptive parents had honored that fact and refused to draw this out in court (the adoption was never finalized because he began contesting the proposed adoption as soon as he knew about it), Veronica would not have been "stripped" from them at 2 years old. She would have been living with her father since infanthood, like any other child. This couple has drawn this battle out for no good reason. He is her father. Her human rights should have been upheld when she was a baby and his rights as her father were trampled on by a long drawn-out court battle for stranger adoption, when it was unnecessary. She is a commodity in an adoption industry that is less than ethical. Veronica's father refused to let the transition happen under a media circus planned by the couple...that is the reason he made the transition quickly when the courts finally ruled on his and Veronica's behalf. It seems as if the adoption industry and this couple are trying to prove that it is safe to purchase a baby by adoption, even when the practices are less than ethical. Veronica is paying an even higher price than what was paid for her. I pray her human rights are upheld to stay with her family.

text: According to AFP, Kuwait Oil Tanker Co. (KOTC) will soon order four giant oil tankers expected to cost some 500 million dollars, chairman Abdullah Al Rumi said on Wednesday. The new order was approved by the national oil conglomerate Kuwait Petroleum Corp. (KPC), and will be offered in a tender soon, Rumi told the official KUNA news agency. Each has a capacity of 300,000 tonnes and will replace old tankers in the company's fleet of 24 vessels. KOTC signed three contracts in 2004 with South Korean companies to build seven new vessels at a cost of 540 million dollars. Delivery is expected to start next year. They include two very large crude carriers (VLCC), two liquefied petroleum gas tankers and three petroleum products vessels. Source: Business Times

The Canadian government must allow Vancouver's Insite facility, North America's only sanctioned drug-injection site, to remain open, a provincial appeals court ruled on Friday. The facility allows addicts to use their own illegal drugs under supervised conditions, and is the focus of a battle between the federal government, which wants to close it, and local health officials, who say it saves lives.
In a split decision, the British Columbia Court of Appeal rejected Ottawa's bid to end Insite's special exemption from federal drug laws, which has allowed it to operate on a medical trial basis since 2003. The appeal court's majority upheld a lower court ruling that addicts needed Insite as a medical service, and that the province of British Columbia had the right to keep it open even if the federal government did not like it.
Insite is in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside area which is one of Canada's poorest neighborhoods, with one of country's highest rates of HIV and AIDS, diseases often spread by injection drug use.
Insite and the social and drug problems of the Downtown Eastside are expected to come into the world's media spotlight next month when Vancouver hosts the Winter Olympics. Insite's supporters, including local police, say medical studies show it helps addicts by reducing overdose deaths and giving people better access to services to help end their drug addictions.
"It's a good way of slowing the spread of disease. This is a good day," said Dean Wilson, who has fought his own battles with drug addiction and helped found Insite.
The Conservative federal government argued Insite should be closed because the science supporting it was inconclusive, and there was an obligation to uphold the country's drug laws. The appeals court's dissenting justice said Ottawa had a responsibility to protect the public from illegal drugs. The U.S. government has pressured Canada to close Insite.
Ottawa was disappointed with the ruling, but could not say yet if it would be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, a spokeswoman for federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said. Insite's supporters urged Ottawa not to appeal, and said the ruling should allow other Canadian cities to establish supervised injection sites. Insite is modeled on similar facilities in Europe.
"It's just in step with the rest of the world," said former Vancouver Mayor Philip Owen.

Anatole is a Parisian mouse who decides it is wrong to be stealing scraps to eat from people's houses and decides to earn his cheese by being an anonymous cheese taster at the local cheese factory. The story and illustrations are so cute that children today enjoy this book as much as they did in the 1950's when it was first published.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Chinese Businessman Waits for Court Ruling, Exoneration
- Study: Almost Half of New Priests Advised against Seminary
- Pirates Attack 2nd Ship Carrying Food Aid
- Promise Keepers Invites Women to Anniversary Event
Chinese Businessman Waits for Court Ruling, Exoneration
Baptist Press reports that Shi Weihan, the Chinese Christian bookstore owner who has been imprisoned for more than a year, finally appeared in court April 9. His family reported that he appeared thin but healthy, according to a news release by China Aid Association April 17. Shi's attorney spent three hours defending him in court, noting that Shi's acts "did not constitute a crime because he was not engaged in illegal business acts and he did not disturb the social or market order." Shi, jailed since March 19, 2008, has been accused of printing and giving away Christian books and Bibles without government permission. In the past, a judge has ruled there is insufficient evidence to convict Shi of "illegal business practices," but police have continued to hold him in order to collect additional evidence for a conviction.
Study: Almost Half of New Priests Advised against Seminary
Religion News Service reports that that conversations around the kitchen table may be more responsible for the shortage of Roman Catholic priests in the U.S. than influences from American culture, a new study suggests. Almost 45 percent of Catholic priests planning to be ordained this year said they were discouraged from considering the priesthood, according to a survey produced by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA). Of those, nearly 6 in 10 said a parent or family member was the source of the discouragement; fifty-one percent said a friend or classmate and 15 percent said a priest or other clergy had. Respondents could select more than one category. The number of Catholic priests in the U.S. has dropped steadily since the 1970s. The U.S. church will ordain 465 priests in 2009; 310 responded to the CARA survey.
Pirates Attack 2nd Ship Carrying Food Aid
The Christian Post reports that pirates mounted an unsuccessful attempt last week against another ship carrying World Vision food aid off the coast of Somalia. The Liberty Sun has continued to Kenya under naval escort, laden with supplies destined for Rwanda. "We're relieved that no one was hurt in this attack and that the ship was able to continue to its destination," said World Vision spokesperson Amy Parodi. "This food is critical to our efforts in Rwanda," she added. "Farmers as well as malnourished children and people living with AIDS all depend on this product. It's vital that we're able to deliver this food as quickly as possible." This is the second attack that also threatened a World Vision project -- the Maersk Alabama was carrying 320 metric tons of vegetable oil for a project in Rwanda when it was captured and retaken two weeks ago.

ASSIST News Service reports that for the first time in its 20-year history, Promise Keepers (PK) is returning to its roots with a single event this year in Boulder, Colorado. "This year we are calling men to bring the women in their lives," said Bill McCartney, founder and chairman of Promise Keepers. "To celebrate our 20th year of ministry, we are called to do three things: honor our wives, daughters, and sisters, be a tangible blessing to the poor and oppressed, and embrace our Messianic Jewish brothers as our spiritual fathers in the faith," he said. More than 6 million men have attended the organization's conferences around the globe since they began in 1990. This year's conference, "A Time to Honor," is scheduled for July 31 through Aug. 1, 2009.

Commonsense Reasoning
1st Edition
To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long-term goals of Artificial Intelligence research. One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning is a detailed, high-level reference on logic-based commonsense reasoning. It uses the event calculus, a highly powerful and usable tool for commonsense reasoning, which Erik T. Mueller demonstrates as the most effective tool for the broadest range of applications. He provides an up-to-date work promoting the use of the event calculus for commonsense reasoning, and bringing into one place information scattered across many books and papers. Mueller shares the knowledge gained in using the event calculus and extends the literature with detailed event calculus solutions to problems that span many areas of the commonsense world.
Key Features
- Covers key areas of commonsense reasoning including action, change, defaults, space, and mental states.
- The first full book on commonsense reasoning to use the event calculus.
- Contextualizes the event calculus within the framework of commonsense reasoning, introducing the event calculus as the best method overall.
- Focuses on how to use the event calculus formalism to perform commonsense reasoning, while existing papers and books examine the formalisms themselves.
- Includes fully worked out proofs and circumscriptions for every example.
Graduate students or advanced undergraduates taking a course on commonsense reasoning or knowledge representation, or looking for tools to use for their thesis work.

About the Author

Affiliations and Expertise
IBM Watson Group and IBM Research, New York, USA
"A comprehensive exposition of reasoning about actions and change using the circumscription-based Event Calculus. The book has an excellent up-to-date bibliography on actions and change." -Chitta Baral, Arizona State University "Central to the idea of Artificial Intelligence is getting computers to understand simple facts about people and everyday life—what we call Common Sense. Amid the technical discussions about inference algorithms and knowledge representation, a larger question arises: What have we actually learned in the past 30 years about how to put Commonsense knowledge in computers? Look no further than Erik Mueller's Commonsense Reasoning for a deep and insightful survey of the state of the art in this topic. Some say that Commonsense defies logic; here Mueller shows that logic, at least, can put up a good fight." -Henry Lieberman, MIT Media Laboratory "Erik Mueller has given the most thorough treatment of common sense knowledge and reasoning yet to appear." -John McCarthy, Stanford University "The strength of this book is that it uses a uniform representation formalism, the event calculus, to solve a variety of commonsense reasoning problems. Researchers will find the book an inspiring tool which provides many ideas for applications of action formalisms. Thanks to both the exemplary presentation style and numerous examples, the book is also well-suited for teachers and students alike." -Michael Thielscher, Dresden University of Technology "Developing systems that can perform actions and deal with change is a major challenge in intelligent system design, because it requires the construction of sophisticated models for knowledge representation and reasoning. This book provides important ideas and methods which can be used to model commonsense reasoning about events in complex and dynamic environments. The content is well thought out, and difficult topics are presented in highly accessible ways. The author tells a compelling story that highlights the utility of event calculus for applications that require commonsense models of action and change." -Mary-Anne Williams, University of Technology, Sydney, and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Inc. People with better commonsense than others are better observers of context and have more patterns that are more readily accessible. Nevertheless, commonsense reasoning is an important area of study. Mueller's book will be valuable to those involved in this field.- Robert W. Ferguson, Software Quality Professional 12/06-2/07

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.
Hi summoner!
I'm here to introduce the great mage Nunu!
In this guide, I'm going to teach you how to build a spectacular sorcerer. Some people likes to make him a tank or off tank, but I don't think you can undervalue his ult. You can easily get 2500+ damage with that.
I really like that kind of runes. It's just perfect for every mage at early game combined with doran's ring. The spell penetration gonna make you a vary annoying person to lane against. :D
Some truth needed to be put here: I'VE NEVER COMPLETED ANY BUILD WITH NUNU!! The game always finish too early for that.
You are able to make any changes you need in the game as you wish, but I really think 3 rings, Rabadon's Deathcap and zhonya's hourglasses gonna make you indestructible. I'm gonna explain that at skill sequence (next topic).
Skill Sequence
In early game, is necessary you use ice blast any time you can. With that, you are going to keep your enemies low healthy, and keep you save from the most of chasing they can do.
Try to keep your allies buffed with blood boil, mainly if they are ad carry. If you are solo top, you have the option of do that on minions, but i don't recommend that if you want to keep your mana high enough if you need to use ice blast without hitting enemies.
And consume, like everyone knows, is here to make you heal the most part of damage you take from ranged enemies.
About ultimate, if you have chance to, use that in the bushes when your enemies is approaching of you, they won't see what you are doing and the only tip they get is the slow. By the way, if you know somebody is in the bushes, just use that in some place you have a guest they won't be able to run out of it.
In team fights, try to use your ult as early as you can, then your partners have health enough to protect you from all of them. After that use Zhonya's to keep you alive even losing lots of health. With ice blast and ignite you are going to keep yourself fed and raping tons of kills.
Summoner Spells
Flash: can be used to jump onto your enemies and use your ult right where they are, also can be used if you need to run out of fights after using your ult.
Ignite: as I said, flash is highly used to keep you fed when your spells are on cooldown or enemies are low health after your ult.

Obama press secretary Ben LaBolt returned fire in a statement later in the morning.
"The only unifying theme of Mitt Romney's campaign to date has been its relentless dishonesty about President Obama's record and Mitt Romney's own time in both the private sector and Massachusetts," LaBolt said.
The posturing on the part of both campaigns is an effort to quickly establish roles for their candidates and opponents in hope of gaining the upper hand in the election narrative that will develop. For Romney's campaign, shedding the role of "attack dog" the former governor cultivated through much of the primary will be important, and his team is clearly looking to instead define the president in that light. Obama, meanwhile, must work to undermine Romney's popularity on fiscal issues as economic concerns continue to dominate polls as the most important issue for likely voters.
The effort is evident in the dueling statements, with Rhoades blasting the Obama effort as a "remarkably flailing campaign with no discernible rationale for candidacy."
"We now know that only one campaign is going to run on President Obama's record of the past three-and-a-half years in office — and it's not the Obama campaign," Rhoades continued. "Without the ability to run on a record of achievement, the incumbent is reduced to a campaign based on scattershot attacks on Governor Romney in particular and Republicans in general."
LaBolt, meanwhile, sought to undermine Romney's economic record and tie him to the fiscal policies of the Bush Administration.
"Mitt Romney and his campaign, on the other hand, will use any language to declare his record off-limits. It's no surprise why: as a corporate buyout specialist, he profited by laying off workers and outsourcing jobs and as the governor of Massachusetts, his record was one of few jobs, higher taxes, more debt, and bigger government," said LaBolt. "Now he has proposed a return to the same policies that got us into the economic crisis in the first place — forcing the middle class to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, letting Wall Street write its own rules, and eliminating investments in the security of the middle class. We have tried those policies before. They didn't unleash growth, they didn't spur job creation and they didn't boost the middle class."

By now you have probably realized -- correctly -- that "financial reform" has turned into a victory lap for Wall Street.
When they saved the big banks, with massive unconditional support (both explicit and implicit) over a year ago, top administration officials promised they would be back later to fix the underlying problems. This they -- and Congress -- manifestly have failed to do.

This post was contributed to us by BravoWatch super fan, Kyle Korchak! Thanks so much for your contribution, Kyle!
"Get ready to return to your favorite zip code. The 90210 ladies are back and ready to bling it on!" Bravo says in their first promotional banners for season six of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." We're heading for the hills in a little less than one month!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres December 1st at 9/8c on Bravo. Go to our Bravo shows schedule page to see more premiere dates and show schedules.
Glitz and glamour are all around as the ladies get ready for a sixth go at it. Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster, Lisa Rinna, and Eileen Davidson are all returning. Of course, leaving this season are Kim Richards (who struggled with addiction and legal issues) and Brandi Glanville (who managed to alienate herself from everyone but Yolanda last season).
Out with the old and in with the new! New cast members include Erika Jayne and Kathryn Eickstaedt Edwards. So who exactly are the new ladies joining the elite Beverly Hills group?
Erika Jayne is a pop/dance artist originating from Atlanta. The sultry songstress is responsible for eight #1 hits on the Billboard Club Songs chart. Married to one of the top lawyers in the Los Angeles area, Thomas Girardi (who is 76, by the way…), Erika is being brought in as a friend of Yolanda. Her younger style and energy is sure to add a brighter feel to the show, contrasting greatly with last season's deep and dark drama.
Kathryn Edwards is the wife of former NFL player Donnie Edwards, whom she married in 2001. She was reportedly tied up in some of the OJ Simpson drama back in the day, just like (the morally corrupt) Faye Resnick. Rumor has it that the two do NOT get along at all. It's likely that we'll get to see some of this play out on screen this season. No word on how she's being brought in just yet, though she's been spotted getting along with Erika, Kyle, and Yolanda.
Who else will we be seeing this season? In terms of friends and guests, it's looking to be jam packed! Bethenny Frankel, Luann DeLesseps, and Dorinda Medley were all spotted at a white party in the Hamptons early this summer. Taylor Armstrong has been saying that she's just kind of "naturally around" this season. Kyle was a bridesmaid at Faye's wedding this year, and sources say that there were cameras there filming.
Joyce Giraud was seen at Vanderpump's "End Yulin Forever" protest. And lastly, Brandi filmed a few scenes with Yolanda and Kim was reportedly at the finale party where she made peace with Lisa Rinna. With all of these appearances and a cast trip to the exotic land of Dubai, this is shaping up to be a season that will not disappoint!
Do you think this is going to be the best season yet?! Let us know what you think in the comments!

Happy LOST day!
*squeal* You guys, LOST is back today! Who's excited? I'm totally stoked...and not just because I need a Sawyer fix, either. I've been going nuts about this show's unanswered questions for the last 8 months or so, and now, finally, some of our big, burning questions will start to be answered! (Or maybe not: I've heard that the season 6 premiere will confuse us more than anything, and then the rest of the season will start to make things more clear for us. But I digress.)
What is the number one Lost-related question you want to get an answer to this season? Shout it out in the comments. As for me, I want to find out if Ben's bad or good (the words "bad" or "good" are far too simple to describe Ben, but you get what I'm getting at, I'm sure), and I want to know if he'll find redemption.
(Oh! As for the grammar mistake, this lovely Lost article-writer clearly forgot that Michael is played by Harold Perrineau. I don't know who the hell this Michael Perrineau dude is, but whoever he is, he isn't on Lost!)
