Sea change in salinity heralds shift in rainfall
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Scientists have detected a clear change in salinity of the world's oceans and have found that the cycle that drives rainfall and evaporation has intensified more than thought because of global warming.
The finding published on Friday helps refine estimates of how different parts of the globe will be affected by increased rainfall or more intense droughts as the planet heats up, affecting crops, water supplies and flood defenses.
Scientists led by Paul Durack of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported clear changes in salinity patterns across the world's oceans between 1950 and 2000.
Oceans cover 71 percent of the planet's surface and store 97 percent of the world's water and are therefore the main source of moisture in the atmosphere through evaporation.
The global cycle of rainfall and evaporation of water from the land and surface of the ocean comprise the global water cycle, with some areas such as the tropics naturally wetter and others, such as large parts of Australia, the United States or northern Africa, drier.
Some ocean regions are saltier, meaning less rainfall and others are fresher, meaning high rainfall, making salinity measurements a good way to measure changes in rainfall patterns.
Durack and team, in a study published in the journal Science, found that the water cycle intensified 4 percent from 1950-2000, twice as much as projected by climate models.
"These changes suggest that arid regions have become drier and high rainfall regions have become wetter in response to observed global warming," Durack, a post-doctoral fellow, said in a statement.
Scientists have long understood the link between evaporation and rainfall and ocean surface salinity levels but have struggled to accurately quantify the relationship.
Durack and team combined salinity data from 1950-2000 and the relationship between salinity, rainfall and evaporation in climate models to find that for every degree Celsius of warming at the Earth's surface, the water cycle strengthens by 8 percent.
Temperature data shows the planet heated up by 0.5 deg C between 1950-2000. But climate models suggest the world is on track to warm by 3 deg C by the end of the century unless the current growth of greenhouse gas emissions is quickly halted.
A warming of that magnitude would mean the water cycle intensifying by up to 24 percent, with wet regions getting wetter and dry regions drier.
"This has big implications for dry regions, such as Australia, which are already dry," Durack said in an email to Reuters.
He said he believed his team's work was the first to formally quantify the link between the water cycle and salinity change.
"Once we developed the relationship between salinity and evaporation-rainfall change in models, we could then use this relationship to scale our observed salinity change estimate to provide an inferred evaporation-rainfall change estimate."
He said ocean salinity data might now receive more attention as a health check on the world's climate, boosted by measurements from 3,500 robotic devices called Argos deployed across the world's oceans and satellites.
Over the past decade, the Argo float system has revolutionized the way scientists understand how oceans operate by providing a large amount of data on temperature, salinity and other indicators.
"It's a Goldilocks' time for oceanography because we're had this abundant new source of data from the Argo system that we've been able to use to better understand the oceans and how they are changing," Durack said.

February 11, 2012, 7:48 AM — As the popularity of smartphones and tablets increases, so will our dependence on the myriad apps available for them. Whether the end result is a hot game, a handy price checker, or a useful contact manager, the constraints of smartphone and tablet designs and interfaces have forced app developers to find creative ways to present and access data.
Unfortunately, most apps created for smartphones or tablets aren't available for use on a PC. Some apps let you sync favorites or other personal data with a companion program or a somewhat equivalent application on a PC, but mobile apps and their PC counterparts are rarely the same.
Thankfully, Silicon Valley-based startup BlueStacks recently released an alpha version of what the company calls an app player--a PC program that enables users to download Android apps directly or transfer them from an Android-based smartphone or tablet to their PC. The BlueStacks app player essentially runs an instance of Android in a virtualized environment on the PC, so the apps act as though they're running on a mobile device. If that's something you'd like to try, here's how to set it up.
Getting Started With BlueStacks
Using the BlueStacks app player is relatively straightforward, but there are some quirks involved with getting apps from a mobile device to a PC which we'll go into a little later. To use the BlueStacks app player, you must first download it from the BlueStacks website or from PCWorld's Downloads Library. Then run the BlueStacks app player installation file, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. Keep in mind that the BlueStacks app player is still in the early phases of development, so you can expect some minor performance issues and perhaps a bug or two.
When the installation is complete, you'll see a short video describing how the BlueStacks app player works and how you can access a few key features. Though the video doesn't offer a ton of information, it's worth watching to ease your learning curve. The BlueStacks app player isn't terribly intrusive: It requires minimal space and consumes few system resources; but it does launch automatically with your PC, and it displays a status icon in the system tray. The app also connects automatically to BlueStacks servers. If you prefer not to have the player launch every time your PC boots up, you can disable the BlueStacks launcher via the Startup tab in the MSCONFIG tool (to access the tool, select Run from the Start menu, type msconfig, and press Enter).

People in the Morristown area told 6 News on Wednesday that their homes shook and they heard loud booms on Tuesday afternoon, but did not know the cause.

Tim Krul isn't only a very talented young goalkeep,er but he has already shown his love for the Tyneside club, and proudly says he is now speaking with a Geordie accent.
Tim Krul - great display on Saturday!
It's news like this that Newcastle fans are grasping at right now, in the dearth of any other good news at the club. Tim had an outstanding 45 minutes during the second half in which he made 4 top class saves to keep WBA at bay.
Tim talked to the Evening Chronicle today:
"I've been waiting for it." "Just to look at the 2,700 Geordies who travelled, there was nothing better. It's crazy."
"Of course, your debut is the most important thing, but it was three years ago, and this is a fantastic result for the boys, and it gives us a good boost."
"My main thought is about Steve and his head – hopefully it's not as bad as it looked." "Of course, we'll take it from there. I was just happy to get a point for the club – the boys were all pleased we came away with a point."
"First of all I realised straight away it was Steve's head, so I felt really bad in the first place." "Then I looked at Paul Barron, who said to get warmed up just in case."
"Steve was really dizzy, and I went to him when the first half was finished and he said it wasn't very good at all." "I'm hoping everything is all right."
And reflecting on the series of his top four saves that save a point for Newcastle, Krul added:
"The first one was after one minute, I think. It's always good to get straight in. It was a great feeling, and got my confidence straight up."
"After that loads happened. For the volley, I was more protecting my face than making a save!" "It was fantastic – unbelievable again!"
His display will pile the pressure on Steve Harper to improve his game, if he is to keep the goalkeeper jersey at Newcastle, and that cannot be bad.
Now we need for a couple more of our top youngsters to start playing well, and pushing for a regular place, and the next one up could be 19 year-old Hungarian center-back Tamas Kadar, who had a very impressive pre-season.
We think he could have done no worse than Argentine Fabricio Coloccini on Saturday, who was given a rare runaround by 17 year New Zealand striker Chris Wood.
The youngsters may yet be the saviour of the club this coming season – we hope so anyway.
Comments welcome.

On-tap, served in a tulip
Pours a golden orange with a pink colored hue and a frothy white cap. The head falls slowly to form a thin layer over the liquid. Some spider web lacing.
The aroma is of sour cherries, spice, and some lemon zest. Slightly phenolic with grassy hop undertones. The cherries are the focal point with everything else taking a back seat.
Clean malt with a touch of earthy funk and spice up front before a wave of sour cherry juice. Lemons and grassy hops intertwine nicely. The finish is clean, with sour cherries and mild spice. A touch of sugar sweetness at the very end to balance out the tart nature of the cherries.
Light body, hefty in spots, with strong carbonation. The feel is really on point. Refreshing.
This is a damn fine summer saison. Clean and refreshing, well-crafted with a nice tart kick that never truly dominates, keeping this guy firm in the high drinkability category.

an excellent saison. this pours a typically hazy bright golden color with a nearly 2 inch foamy bone white head. smells a bit like sour cherries, but that is well behind the yeast, which is very farmy in smell. lots of straw and hay smells, a bit of funk, and then some spice as well. flavor is also dominated by the yeast, as a good saison should be. the cherry flavor only comes in at the very end to make the finish tart and dry. perfect. usually the fruit gets in the way, but in this its so far back its just the ideal compliment. mouthfeel is outstanding, light and drinkable, with effervescent carbonation and a lovely dry finish leaving you wanting another tulip. 4 hands has got some cool stuff happening, and this fruity saison series is a real winner.

On tap @ the brewery
The beer pours a dull copper color with a fluffy bleach white head that fades into a thin halo, mild lacing. No sediment, unsure about bottles though. The nose presents a peppery, fruity yeast upfront with a bit of sweet malt and tart cherry mixed in. The beer drinks with yeast and malt upfront followed by a slightly tart, dry cherry finish and an acidity that holds on for a few seconds following each sip. The mouthfeel is effervescent, relatively sweet, slightly tart&fruity, and has a great yeast presence. I'm happy with the beer and think it's a drinkable fruit saison that presents the cherry without becoming overwhelming.

Looks good, a little watery maybe, slightly thin and very light. Decent small little head.
Smell is strong cherry, nice earthy aroma, kind of lightly spiced. Pretty pleasant.
Taste follows the nose. Cherry, earthiness, spice, yeast, a hint of hops. The cherry is lightly tart, which I like a lot. Really nicely balanced. Slightly crisp bitterness going down.
Mouthfeel was good, not too thin. Good carbonation, went down nicely.
Overall another solid offering from 4 Hands. I liked this more than the pyrus, but less than the prussia. Excited to see what they do next!

A - Poured a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It had nice retention and left thing trails of lace on the glass.
S - It smelled fairly yeasty and spicy with notes of cherry.
T- Cherry flavor comes through with some tartness. Nice spicy saison-like flavors. Good yeasty bite.
M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A medium bodied ale with a dry finish.
O - This is a pretty good saison. I like what I've had from 4 Hands so far.

Poured into a Chimay goblet from a growler filed about 30 minutes ago.
Pours a very nice hazy slighty pink golden color. Looks almost liek freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice. Thin white head forms that recedes quickly to a nice thin ring aroudn teh glass.
Fresh citrusy aromas. Yummy fruit juice with slight cherry notes and some nice lemony zest. Nice spice notes and slight phenols can be perceived. Slight coriander notes are perceveid with some slight grassy and citrus hop babcked notes.
Flavors starts off with some sharp citrus notes. Very refreshing slightly hopy and grassy. Nice slight phenols and yeast notes mixed in with some good spice. Slight cloves and nice fruit juice sweetness. Delicious spice notes and some slight funk notes. Very dry and citrus finish. There is a nice fruit juice notes with some slight cherry tartness on the back end but mostly a good and balanced sugary sweetness. Very refreshing.
Good saison. I enjoy it because its sweet refreshing but there is a slight tart edge from the cherries and a nice grassy hop finish.

No. 37
John Morgan of Field Gulls went with Matt Stafford in the first round. Now he's making more moves for Seattle's offense.
Eben Britton is the rare human being that is both tall and wide, and, and athletic, and though he's step a below Eugene Monroe and Jason Smith in overall value, and a step below Andre Smith and Michael Oher in potential, he sits at a nice middle ground where there's good value, good potential and little risk. Britton has a broad base of skills, less risk because of character and injury concerns, and should he not meet his potential and simply become an above average right tackle, little is lost. Seattle has three starting caliber tackles on its roster. After undergoing microfracture knee surgery, Walter Jones' career may be over; it may be effectively over; or it may just be nearly over. Sean Locklear has the footwork and kick slide to play left tackle, or so it seems. Seattle should at least let him prove he can't, because Locklear at left, even if he's just average, is excellent value. Ray Willis is Seattle's newest utility lineman, joining the venerable ranks of Floyd "Trichinosis" Womack and Tom Sm-Ashworth. Willis is a lot like Britton, in that they are both tall men with large belt sizes. Scouts ensure me Britton is more of a technician, while Willis is more of a scrambler than pocket passer. Should Locklear take over at left, Willis is the right tackle in waiting. That might not be good. In limited snaps, Willis looked like a very able run blocker that could handle the pass rush, except for the really fast pass rush. That was hard.
Britton frees Willis to sub or convert full-time to right guard. The two would make a massive and surprisingly agile right side for an offense that's implementing some sort of zone-blocking scheme. Britton is also left tackle insurance should Locklear be injured or ineffective. The upside for Britton is not, to my eyes, Joe Thomas like I've occasionally read, but Michael Roos. Both are monster offensive tackles that with good strength and technique, but only good athleticism. Britton has a 52-inch chest, roughly Chase Daniels' wingspan, and good size and muscle development through his core and legs. He's a good student and fits Seattle's Sunday School criteria for roster construction. Britton would throw his jacket across a puddle for a little old lady rather than, say, blow his leg off searching through his pants' pocket for his snooter. A guy like Britton needs only a couple skills to develop to become very good, and the non-injury downside is stomach-able. Seattle needs line talent, so there's an outside need here, but mostly, I just think Britton is a first round talent that's fallen too far. And whether Seattle can find a place for him to play right off, or Seattle figures that out over the next couple of years, this is when drafting best available talent is the one right rule to building a contender.
MTD thoughts: Although I have no clue what a snooter is, I really like this pick as long as Britton isn't being expected to replace Walter Jones. He's more of a right tackle, a position he played for two seasons.

Long-Term Human Clinical Trial Data Now Available
NEW YORK, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new long-term, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, published in the May issue of the European Journal of Nutrition, revealed for the first time that daily consumption of a Setria® Glutathione supplement was effective at increasing body stores of glutathione – an antioxidant generated within our bodies to help fight disease – combating long-held contrary beliefs.1 Glutathione is a tripeptide that is naturally found in nearly all cells, tissues and organ systems in the body. It is also known as the "master antioxidant" due to its vast functions of antioxidant protection, detoxification and immune system fortification. But, for many reasons including age, prescription and OTC medication intake, health conditions, lifestyle, diet, weight and even time of day, the body's stores of glutathione may be in short supply. This six-month clinical trial – led by Dr. John P. Richie of Penn State University – evaluated the efficacy of Setria® Glutathione supplementation at enhancing body stores of glutathione, and the results show that glutathione supplementation may represent an effective intervention strategy to not only enhance body stores but also boost the body's immune function. 1
Dr. Richie has studied glutathione for more than 25 years, and his body of research focuses primarily on fighting oxidative stress, which is a contributing factor to most fatal diseases. "It is well-known in the science community that glutathione is one of the primary protective molecules in the body; however, whether or not glutathione levels could be supplemented by oral glutathione administration has been hotly debated and clinical data has been lacking" said Dr. John P. Richie, Jr., Ph.D., Professor of Public Health Sciences and Pharmacology at Penn State University School of Medicine. "Now we have evidence to illustrate the potential benefit of glutathione supplementation on improved immune health, potentially decreased risk of cancer, and reduction of other diseases related to oxidative stress."
"Kyowa Hakko pioneered a fermentation technology that is used to manufacture amino acids, nucleic acids, vitamins and related compounds to dietary supplements," said Danielle Citrolo, PharmD, technical services manager at Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. "We couldn't be more pleased about the publication of this study and its potential to help our customers. Even the healthiest individuals face environmental factors and toxins that can combat the positive effects of a well-rounded diet, and thus could benefit from an antioxidant supplementation, like Setria® Glutathione."
About the Study:
This study was supported by Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. and Kyowa Hakko Bio. Ltd. Setria® Glutathione can be found in select supplement manufacturers. For more information visit www.setriaglutathione.com.
About Setria® Glutathione:
Setria® Glutathione, manufactured by Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd., is a clinically studied form of glutathione that, when taken orally, has been shown to replenish the body's reserves, which may be depleted as a result of poor lifestyle choices, stress or natural aging. Called the "master antioxidant," glutathione helps protect cells in the body from the damaging effects of oxidative stress and toxins. Setria Glutathione is manufactured through a patented fermentation and patent pending for increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity, is pure, vegetarian and allergen-free.

Hey Zack…WATCH OUT! You might be a red head soon. Not the actual hair color….but the color of your scalp, when people start giving you high fives. (Or "Head" fives)
I REALLY HOPE YOU'RE JOKING? How old are you? It's kind of obvious you don't have a real job to go to because that would never fly in a professional work environment. And yes, you are going to get high fived on your head.
That's not a new haircut. you had one just like it a few years back.
Donny in Houston.
Not the best way to kick off a book tour.
BREAKING NEWS: (At least to us that don't have inside contacts at MLB) The Angels are using commemorative baseballs this season for their 50th anniversary. http://bit.ly/eV1uxf
Phill in Utah (@pjmorgan11 on twitter)
And the crystal ball says…check your e-mail!
SPOILERS!: For a picture of the Angels ball, and additional shots of the logo, check our post below. I'm a big fan! Also if you haven't seen the 2011 ASG ball, we added it to the site a while ago.
Well, since your hair is going the way of mine….away for good, I don't blame you for the "talk to the hand" do. Pretty soon baldness will make anything other than a skullet impossible.
Hope you are having a great winter so far. Still looking forward to the book coming out. Spring training starts in about a month so things are looking up.
Big Glove Bob
Awesome haircut! Looks like the tomtom gps logo. Google it, you will agree lol
Ouch, I hope not.
You need to face your fears, son!
No joke. I happen to be at a place in my life right now where I don't have to look a certain way or answer to anyone. But whatever, it's not like I tattooed the hand on my head. I could get rid of it in ten seconds with a few swipes of my electric shaver. So, you know, chill.
Good call. Think of this as the sequel.
Says you. Anyway, I don't have an actual "tour" planned, and I doubt this haircut will still be around in two months, and if it is, I can always cover it with a baseball cap. (Jeez, all you people are reacting like I have a swastika tattooed on my forehead. It's effin' hair. And not much of it. But that's fine, I figured I'd get a lot of crap for this. Out on the street and in the subway and in public in general, I've been getting a ton of compliments/questions, so at least the rest of the world likes it. Even my mom likes it. What does that say? She even offered to help re-shave it for me, but I've been able to do it on my own.)
Out-STAND-ing!!! Thanks for letting me (and everyone else) know.
Will do. Sorry for the slow reply.
Thanks for the love. Figures that it's coming from a fellow baldy, but hey, I'll take it. Guys like us need to stick together. My winter has been great. I'm enjoying my time away from baseball and recharging my brain/body for the intense season that lies ahead.
Haha, yeah, I see it. Thanks.

What did people do before the IMDB? How did anyone ever find out the identity of those incredibly familiar yet obscure actors who seem to crop up in every other thing without ever quite becoming famous in their own right? How did fangirls research every last ancient film and TV…
"You knew the deal when you came on board."
This is my first personal post about William, I hope some of you will enjoy it. I absolutely love WF, and Alexander Mahone has always been one of my favourite characters played by him.
Here at the KCMC, we have pretty much everything from Kim Coates' back catalogue. (If you can help us with any of the few things we're missing, please get in touch!) But we can only review one thing a week, and we thought it would be fun to share some of the Coatesage that we have in store…
This photo was found on the internet without references, but is supposed to belong to a theater where Bill works and acted
Really? That excited to meet Seal?
Of course he is haha! He died to the sounds of Adamski featuring Seal in Model By Day back in l 1994. Not many people get to say they've died to a Seal song haha!

Perverts and psychos will not necessarily be discouraged from applying.

Michelle and Barack appear on the covers of 'Ebony' and 'Essence.' But Meghan McCain has an interview in 'Glamour'! Plus the latest on Barbara Corcoran, John Thain, and the other captains of industry.
Knightley appears on 'Vogue,' which is a risk since her last 'Vogue' cover didn't sell very well. Simpson ought to sell well for 'Elle.'
Finally, right? Plus, David Brooks thinks Goldman Sachs may be on the cusp of a coup, and the "summer of legal vindication" kicks off in our hump-day roundup of media, finance, law, and real-estate news.

A Weekend in Tokyo, Japan
So, as – hopefully – all of you know, we went to Japan over the weekend. We went on a small vacation of sorts. We've always been interested in Japan and Tokyo, and so we decided to hang out for a weekend and see what it was like. We were there from Friday afternoon to Monday evening and soaked in as much as possible. We also put together as much footage as possible while still trying to have fun. Prepare yourself for 4 days of footage boiled down into 11 minutes of non-stop video.
Anyhow, there was a bunch of stuff that we didn't get on camera that was pretty awesome.
1) Cars in Tokyo: they obey the law. AWESOME! For the first day, every time we crossed the street we would flinch when a car approached, just like we do in Korea, because Korean drivers always seem to try to push their way through pedestrian walkways. In Tokyo, though, cars (we're looking at you taxis) didn't try to run red lights and squeeze their way through crowds of people. AMAZING!
2) Electronics:
a) Bloody expensive, for starters. Like, seriously. Absurdly expensive. The notion that we had before of cheap electronics being in Asia, because a lot of electronics are made in Asia and, thus, should be cheaper, seems to be dead wrong. I checked out the camera gear in Bic Camera and FFFFUUUUUUUU it was absurd for everything: lenses, bodies, tripods, you name it: all cost vastly more than the prices we can find online.
b) Buying a new iPad was easy. We thought we'd have to wait in line in the morning with everyone else to pick one up. We got into Ikebukuro at around 4PM or so and went out to the electronic shops at around 8PM, a full 12 hours after the new iPads went on sale. Every store had them in stock. No waiting in line for me. Walked in, asked for one, got one. BOOM!
c) There are so many video games, that I want to cry (Simon here). Don't get me started on this. There were enough PS3 games on one floor to fill 10 GameStops. And so many that I didn't hear about. I remember before coming to Korea that I knew, as a kid, I'd want to move to Japan so I could learn the language and play the games before they come out in North America. I kinda forgot about that dream once I moved to Korea. Seeing all those games made me remember my childhood dreams.
3) Food: we can't say much about it, because we ate Ramen a lot. Like, everyday but Monday a lot. Japanese Ramen is otherworldly. They boil their eggs in some way that leaves the yolks all gooey and delicious and bBbbbBBBARRRGGGHhhghghgh it's so good. Japan has other foods to offer, and we dabbled in a few things here and there (we put some other Japanese foods in the Blooper footage…we didn't really have bloopers as so much extra footage) but mostly we tried to keep our stomachs empty for non-stop ramen action.
4) Our Harajuku experience was a bit lame: it was raining, and so the only group of dressed up people we saw were the Rockabilly people. There were lots of other people dressed up awesomely otherwise, but not in a congregation. They were just peppered throughout Harajuku. Also, according to someone's Tweet, we were in Harajuku with Yubin from Wonder Girls. We never saw her, but the Tweeter supposedly saw the two of us:
Such a good day today! Saw 2 weddings in Meiji Jingu, eat really gr8 food, saw @eatyourkimchi 's Simon & Martina and @WGyubin =D
— Cynthia Chii (@tchiipi) March 18, 2012
…buuuuut we never saw either Yubin or the Tweeter. Damn! Would have made for a cool video! We did get a chance to meet an awesome fan from Brazil at the Meiji shrine, who was fantastic and bubbly, and we also ran into a fellow Canadian who was disappointed to miss the fan meet by one day, yet still ran into us by pure fluke!
5) We saw some Japanese celebrity but don't know who he was: we went to a Starbucks to rejuvenate and sat beside some douchebag wearing dark sunglasses indoors. Sorry: we call him a douchebag because we don't like it when self-important people wear dark sunglasses indoors. It's such a painful facade. The sunglasses are supposed to be because you don't want to be seen, but by wearing them you're only attracting attention to yourself, because then people think that you're important. You're pretending to want to be unrecognized but you're begging for people's attention as well. And it turns out we were right: the guy was a celebrity, and he was waiting for a girl to meet him. She squealed and gave him a CD to sign which we didn't see the name of. Long story short: no musician should wear dark sunglasses indoors unless his name is Stevie Wonder. Or unless you're getting harassed by paparazzi and the lights are flashing in your eyes. But this guy was plastered up against the window at the front of the Starbucks. And it was rainy, so there was no sun out. I don't know. Maybe he has super-sensitive eyes, or maybe he's Japan's Cyclops. We just don't like the indoor sunglasses deal.
6) Kpop is a lot more popular than we thought: It's really hard, in Korea, to know how well Kpop is doing outside of Korea, because the media isn't really reliable. We always hear about Kpop taking over the world, how Europe and Japan and now North America are bowing down to Kpop the way Kitties are Conquered by Bilasa. But, clearly, that's not wholly accurate. When we were in Japan, though, we were amazed at how much Kpop was playing. We heard lots of Big Bang and 2NE1. IU was playing a lot as well. We saw Billboards of U-Kiss, ad vans of Rainbow, and big sections of Kpop music at the record stores. Wow. Totally didn't know Kpop was so big in Japan.
7) Thanks to everyone who came out to our Fan Meet: We seriously didn't expect that many people to come. When we look at our site stats, Japan isn't even in the top 10 for visiting countries. So, we thought maybe we'd have a couple of people, five at most, that would be nice enough to meet us in Tokyo and chat over coffee. We were really wrong. We totally took over the patio of Excelsior Cafe. We would have gone inside but there wasn't enough room for us, so we huddled together in a circle and tried to use our body warmth to keep us from shivering. Some were not warm enough. Sorry everyone, but – again – thanks for coming out!
Oh! And we took lots of pictures from our trip. We're not photo people, though, so forgive us if our pictures suck. We like making movies. Pictures are a totally different ballgame. Anyhow, if you like pictures, look at them!
Lastly, our video was quite long, but we've got even more footage. If you're interested, check out the deleted scenes here:

THANKS GUYS~I had a little trip to Tokyo ;D
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US HOW TO VISIT YOU WHEN I GO TO KOREA THIS SUMMER? I really wanna meet with you!! :))
OMG ! you were in japan !! I am gib fan of you. Im a japanese girl and lately liveing in Dubai. I was also had vacation there the day which you visit in japan as I guess from the date of uploded video. I wish I could meet you so I could show the sight !!! Visit japan again on sunny days. Im always enjoying to watch eat your kimuchi. Love you Simon and Martina <3
Hey :)
Just letting you guys know the ramen place you went was called Mutekiya. They actually have an English website and menu!
(P.S Next time you should try Ippudo ramen! http://www.ippudo.com/index.html)
Also you can get those delicious eggs at any convenience store in Japan for around 60-70yen. :)
where did you buy the one piece? I'm here in ikebukuro, and I'm dying for that PJs!!
maybe that guy was atsushi from EXILE…it's his style to wear sunglasses…:))
i reallllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy reallllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy realllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy want to go to Jappan now TT^TT im so jealous of ya ! :( korea is the #1 and jappan #2 2 country i wanna come ! >,,,
hey do u guys live in Busan? or Seoul?
Are the food prices about the same for Korea and Japan? I've heard that Japan is more expensive in almost every aspect, is this true? How expensive is it compared to Korea?
What's the biggest different between Japan and Korea? People, culture, architecture and so forth?
LOL Japanese musicians ALWAYS do that Simon and Martina…its a Normal thing…Half of it is because visual kei (jrock) stars (which is kind of like the main big whoop in Japans music industry…like what kpop is to Korea) are ALWAYS in make up ALWAYS!!!! so when they go out normally…instead of their fans seeing them without make up on and seeing how they really look…they use the sunglasses….they do it for interviews, radio shows, talk shows, etc. since the eye make up is usually the most heavily define! other stars I have no comment as to why they would wear it LOL…maybe you met a jrocker….if he was 5 foot 3 in he could be Ruki from the GazettE or Kyo from Dir en grey XD
If you ever get the chance, you should go to Yokohama and eat at the ramen museum. 8 or 9 ramen restaurants from around Japan to sample from. I only got through 3, but maybe you can power through all of them!
Lol, Simon your childhood dream can be achieved. My friend did and lives this. He learned Japanese simply to play games before they come out in North America, but then he took that momentum became fluent in Japanese and works as an interpreter when he's not playing video games. I love Japan (even though I live here in Korea) but it's too expensive…
Can you mention all the places you visited please? Thanks!
I'm curious to find out who you saw in starbucks. Were you able to take a picture of him? ^_^
Hey love the show especially this WANK because I will be goin to Japan this year, Is it possible you guys could post like an itinerary of your trip because I wanna get an idea of where to go besides doing a hotel/travel guide arranged tour
ASHLEY!!!!!!!! O my God!!! My sister's best friend was at the fan meet! small, small world.
Simon your now i know my boyfriend is as cool as you, you guys have the same sneakers ^.^
Having you guys talk about the celebrity in front of the starbucks gets me really curious on who it is..since i'm a pretty big,jrock fan o.o -This is kinda killing me.- xD
AWWWWW AWESOME. I am happy you guys enjoyed yourselves. Fighting!!!
Remind me to go to a EYK meetup, as it seemed to be made up entirely of attractive females.
Hey Guys~!! I'm going to Japan soon and I'm wondering what hotel did you stay inn?? Is Ikebukoro a good location?? Thanks
The picture with instructions for facility use are is funny! So people with tattoos cannot enter? Rocker room XDD
Anyways, a well deserved trip you had + thank you for taking the time to record and share ;)
wow…I definitely want some of that awesome ramen goodness… Do you know the name of the place that you went?
They can't take off their sunglasses in public http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Showbiz/Story/A1Story20110612-283691.html
I think it's a rule among Asian celebs or something… I think it's stupid too.
Any recommendations on places to visit? I just got accepted to study in Japan this summer and would love to do go to some cute gift shops like the ones you guys visited :)
Did you go to Shin-Okubo? It's only a few stops before Harajuku. It's the Koreatown of Japan. :)
im sorry for not being able to go to the meeting guise
i am the one who offered you guise the free tour guide not really with my friend eimie
you guise really shouldve went to shinokubo
there is much more of korea there
than there is in tokyo
i went there 8 times and all the time it was packed and every resturaunt i went to there was always a giant flat screen showing music videos
the resturaunts i went to showed Big Bang music videos
it depends on the resturaunt really
if you want to see a group you have to ask the chefs and stuff wat videos they show
it is always fun^A^
o well
i watched the video and saw
and OMG i cant believe that was the first time you ate gyouza
i eat it all the time!!!!!!!!
When I was living there, kpop was very slowly starting to sink into the pop music scene. Most kids still didn't know groups like Shinee or U-KISS. But they loved DBSK and Girls Generation. I bet it's changed quite a bit now because that was a year ago. Plus Japanese pop music SUUUCKS (sorry but true story) so it's only a matter of time before kpop saturates the market I bet.
And this video made me cry a little. I totally felt Simon on the ramen experience. There's a ramen place in Osaka where after I walked out, I said to myself, "maybe…. maybe I can die now." lol! Japanese ramen is crazy good. CRAZY. Even the not-so-great ramen is still pretty damn good.
your comment sound like such an obnoxious kpop fan. Music taste is an opinion, not a true story nor a fact.
Only 3 kpop group right now is actually popular with general public.
And the way some of you fans are acting I hope every other kpop groups stay irrelevant.
There's no need to be upset or call my comment "obnoxious." Ironically, my comment is exactly what you said it is, an opinion. So for you to slam my opinion is a bit counter productive. And the term "true story" is meant as a light-hearted joke. No one thinks what I said is absolutely or resolutely true.
Calm down. I really shouldn't have even responded to this, but I couldn't help but point out the irony in your comment. Thanks for attacking my opinion on an open, mostly friendly culture forum. Hope you feel good about yourself. :-)
Oh I forgot to add…that Japanese celebrity you saw was not Akanishi Jin, in case people were wondering, because he was touring the US when you were in Japan. Though, he did wear sunglasses at his concert! At night..indoors…maybe because the lights are too blinding onstage…hope that doesn't make him a db :P But i agree that you may have saw a Johnny's artist
& LMAO at the "rock the rocker" photo
Since you were wondering about the half-boiled eggs, here is a recent video on how to do it.
This episode should have been called WANJ, wonderful adventure now Japan. Kpop is very much a niche product outside of the far east despite the clips of newsreports in Korean in youtube. Even french TV had a report on Kpop. Heck there were even spanish kids who follow Korean dramas and Kpop. I was quite dumbfounded when I saw that but still I think it is a niche product. As to Japan Oricon chief as a good reason for concern that Kpop may become overexposed in japan. The overall size of the Japanese music market has been declining for the last 5 years in terms of revenue but Kpop has been increasing by leaps and bounds more like 20+% jump from 2010 it is now 7.8% of the overall Japanese music scene.
Kpop being everywhere in japan does have a downside. The head of Oricon, Japan's equivalent to the billboards expressed concern about the overexposure of Kpop in Japan.
Anyways it looks like you had a lot of fun.
I think that Japanese celebrity might be a Japanese Idol one of those dudes from Johnny… cuz I heard one of those dudes from the group KAT-TUN likes to hang out at starbucks it may be Kamenashi Kazuya.
I wanted to learn Japanese to play video games too. Sounds like you guys had a great time, thanks for posting the video!
I myself am guilty of sometimes wearing dark glasses indoors, but I hope I'm not a DB. I think that several years of working nights have made my skin and eyes more easily irritated by the sun (even through windows), and I might be slowly turning into a vampire.
Just for the next time you go to Japan, you can get cards (Suica or Pasmo) that you just load money onto and scan when walking through the gates for trains. You can use it on the JR lines, the subways, the buses, pretty much everything. It's not line specific, it just holds whatever amount of money you have preloaded onto it. Much easier :D
It would have been really fun if someone recognized you while were in that place with the Japanese celebrity. "Oh… SIMON AND MARINA" *Japanese guy turns head* "Can we take a picture" "sure!" *being all friendly and casual people* *Japanese guy takes more sneakpeeks* Japanese doucheguy(?) thinking: "who ARE they? Why didn't she recognize ME?"
waaaah i myself am goin to tokyo pretty soon & ur video made me even more excited >XDDDD welll um i also mentioned few times before (still duno if u've seen those posts or not… XD) that after tokyo i'm headin to seoul wit ma friend. it'd be nice if we had a chance to meet u guys somehow :D
anyways – cool vid as always :D also great that u could have some vacations :) even if makin videos is ur job & as u said many times – u enjoy it, still sometimes ppl need to rest :)
really sorry about posting about something else here.. but could some of you help fill in my questionnaire ?? doing it for my final year project.. sorry for the trouble.
Where did you buy your fabulous glasses Hello Kitty please ? :3
I'm so hungry.___.
And I totally died of laughter when I read "rock the rocker room and keep the rocker key…"
Simon! Martina! It was awesome meeting you guys at excelsior! I'm that person from South Carolina XD, anyway, do you remember where you found that okonomiyaki place?? It looks delicious!!!
I can not see the mountains in tokyo…I do not understand
and Japan is dangerous Because of Radioactivity…
I think I read something that the yakuza isn't dangerous for those who aren't involved in something they're against. Tourists are safe (unless they do something stupid)
yes, that's true…they don't atack random people on streets;)
that triangle of sorts is onigiri japanese rice rolls if you can call them that
that triangle of sorts is onigiri japanese rice rolls if you can call them that
I have to wonder as to the purpose of your visit to Japan? Just exploring? Or were a top secret mission? Come to Taiwan next year when I move there for the year!
wahhh, i want to go to japan too! sounds like you two had lotsa fun.
the jap ramen eggs are actually really easy to make on your own! here's a recipe that i've used a number of times before -> http://chubbyhubby.net/blog/?p=485
Hehe. You guys realize you're supposed to bargain down prices for technology goods right? That's probably why the initial price is so high~ :p
I read a book about how in Harajuku they literally closed the streets down to cars in that certain area (I totally forgot the names of them) every Sunday.
Hundreds use to flock just to show off their fashion, however in the 90′s they stopped closing it every Sunday. Slowly, yet surely kids stopped going because they didn't really have a place to mingle & exhibit their crazy fashion.
They say that's what really killed that whole awesome Harajuku scene. The fashion is still there obviously & around Japan, but not nearly to same degree as it was before.
I think most don't really know that & end up being let down visiting the area. -__- Sorry for the lecture! lol
The wearing sunglasses indoor commment was hilarious. I really hate it how it's like the most important piece of accessory for Korean airport fashion.
I think the sunglasses thing is because Asians, or at least a lot of us, easily get swollen eyes from tiredness, stress, and after taking a nap/sleep. But that's just my opinion.. I find nothing wrong with wearing sunglasses indoors or something like that, especially when you have an image to uphold.
Rilakkuma!! I love rilakkuma~ I have a rug with him randomly holding a hotdog and Korilakkuma holding a pizza..random I know. Lol in SF's Japantown there is a picture showing the clear distinction between rilakkuma & pedobear XD
I would love to go to Japan someday! Looks like fun to visit.
sounds like a fun trip!! u lucky duckies!!
at this moment Kara is the one dominating Japan market. to be honest a lot of K-Pop artists are not that big in Japan like as in Korea actually. i agree there are big "K-Pop" market tho.
Wow!! Thanks for the footage and pictures, guise! Mmm..the food looked so delicious. I can't believe you got the new ipad. Lucky. Here in the states, people line up for hours (or even overnight) just to get shot down when the store runs out after selling only 20. haha.
Kpop really is taking over the world. I'm sure you already know SNSD performed on the Jay Leno and Regis and Kelly show. Just the other day at the gym, I heard 2ne1 playing on the radio. *Dun Dun Dun* It's finally come. Kpop is gaining some air time…Score.
You two are great!!!
The trick with the big electronic stores (when you live there) is to sign up for their rewards card. It is free and the points add up fast. I have the Yodabashi Camera Gold Point Card and seriously after buying a couple 2000yen headphones I will end up with 1000yen in credit. Buying camera equipment or anything big will end up getting you huge discounts.
Other than that, go to Akihabara on the JR Chuo Line, parts of it are creepy and more than a bit illegalish (selling R4s in little shops down dark alleys) but other booths will negotiate prices and are significantly less expensive than the box stores like BIC Camera.
Thank you for taking the time to post this…it must have been such a crazy week for both you! Hope you get some rest…looking forward to your next post!
Very nice to see you innocently discovering things in the culture again. Your K-Crunch stuff does not supply the thrill of living vicariously. (BTW – Just saw that Hello Pop! used one of your Monday vids to fill some time. Chrissa is positively awful… I need to rinse my ears out once she's done punning her way through another segue.)
When you met spudgy was totally awesome and cool!!!! That's why I looooove dogs
Simon, Martina, Apple stuffs aren't really popular in Japan. There are times when "archaic" stuffs are just given away for free because they don't sell much, well, when iPhone came out, they were free in Japan after a week or so. I don't know. When it comes to technology, they're on a different league there.
MARTINA!! where did you get your hello kitty glasses >w< its so cute <3
Watching your WANK videos really makes me want to go back to Asia. WTH am I doing in my hometown in Michigan?! le sigh
Martina, Where did you get those killer glasses with the bow??
You guise should have a little section for when you do the Japanese posts and call it Eat Your Ramen.
Oh my God, how can you not see Yubin? It would be so epic if you had some footage of her. Ahh, God I'm disappointed (Sorry, WG fan here, lol). And I'm really so happy for the success of Kpop internationally. Too bad, I'm mostly anticipating the Harajuku part but well, you can't stop the rain. lol. Anyways, welcome back guise! Hope you really had a blast!
cutest couple eveer!!!!!! :3
What was the name of the ramen place that was the best meal of your life? Going to Japan in a few weeks and I'm dying to try it!
+1 I would really like to know the name and the location of this ramen place :D
Love ramen, sooo good.
the best part for me was watching Spudgy all happy after seeing you guys.
Awesome gaiz!! Glad you had fun.
That seeem a great weekend vacation you guys had in Japan.
Make me so jelly~~~
But why only 11 mins of vlog for 4 days???
That seem inappropriate vlog for Simon and Martina Stawski,, i hope for longer one
Anyway,, where the place you had the fan meet finally? Coz it seems lke the huge group could fit in one place without had to notice the cafe before.
Stellar Eric's group… he had that random part where all he said was – I need a rocket, I need a rocket spaceship and took off and put back on his sunglasses
It's funny how Korea *bans everything remotely sexy*, but Japan is like *pastes half-naked girl on truck*…..*shrugs* lol
when i studied in Niigata, kpop was doing great there too, there was a kpop section in 1st floor of Bic Camera filled with Girls Generation, 4minute, Batoost, etc. i also bought a "Made in Japan" camera which was a bit more expensive than "Made in China" products. and yes the reason I didnt want leave Japan because drivers do obey the law.
I thought you guys would go to Puroland or FaSoLa Market(Narita, Terminal 1, 4th Floor) since Martina is such a big Hello Kitty fan. Love the new glasses, Martina! :)
Looks like fun fun fun! Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Welcome back. Truth be told I was kinda wondering what you were going to do with the Spudgemiester. Looks like he had fun too, though he obviously missed you. I think he needs a purple stripe next time. Kawaii ne?
maybe the douchebag (lol) you saw was a visual kei member!! they don't like to be seen without make-up!! or he was really a douchebag^^
I was kinda thinking the same thing…that would be pretty cool if it was though.
Rock the rocker room!!!
I need a rocket! I need a rocket spaceship!
(10 cool points for the first person who gets that reference!)
rocket spaceship….Eric of Shinwa's group…the ???….sang those lyrics.
Stellar – Rocket Girl!
I loved the video, but no Music Mondays this week? I'm sad. I thought BILASA was going to win.
u guys should've tried wasabi ice cream!! it's really cool tasting.
this is an awesome episode :) do you plan to go to china at some point ( in the near future or just in the future? oh the food was sooo tastylisious looking :) and spugy was the extreme happy doggy ever when he saw u guyz :)
lol if that famous japanese guy was the japanese cyclops, wouldn't he have a giant face monacle or something, as opposed to a normal pair of glasses? :s
the food looked hella good!
Such great videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of this, and make these videos on your vacation. We really, seriously appreciate it. Hope you two had fun, and the spudgy reuniting was ADORABLE! :)
how much was it for airfare between korea and japan? i'm planning on going to japan then korea but don't know how expensive it'll be…it'll be expensive regardless because u'm flying from canada XD
lol ayumi hamasaki's butt pasted on trucks :p awww spudy's so happy to see you again <3
Round trip tickets for the two of us, plus hotel stay for three nights, was $1100.
I feel bad for y'all because the crosswalk in Shibuya was not crowded at all in y'all's video…you guys have to go back when it is not raining….and oh God I miss the ramen so bad…I could almost taste it when y'all videoed it….great…now I want authentic ramen and that is no where to be had in Tennessee!!! I am glad that you guys had fun and got to relax some…^^
>.< i'm very jealous. I want to go to Japan. Thanks for sharing this with us!!
guise! i totes know how to get the egg to be that way! just boil the egg in boiling water for 3 minutes, then turn off the stove and let it simmer in the boiling water for another 5-6 minutes. tried it before it was perfect! learnt it from a certain Nigella ;) anyway cant wait to meet you guise in july, i'm the girl who asked about the documentary interview ^^ glad you both had fun in japan and DAWWWW Spudgy looks SO happy to see you two again!!!!
Do you cover the pot after you turn off the heat? I'm so excited to try!
This begs the question: what would Eat Your Kimchi have been called had you two taught English in Japan instead of Korea?
Eat Your Wasabi?
Eat Your Sushi?
Please XD EAT YOUR RAMEN!!!!
Bingo. In fact, we already bought that domain name…two years ago :D
But wouldn't the Korean equivalent be Eat Your Kimbab?
i would think that kimchi is more widely known as korean just like people associate sushi with japan
Eat your Natto. You got to think of a smelly food because kimchi is smelly (but kimchi is really yummy)
You guys are super awesome , and this vid is not long ! I wish you could even longer. That ramen looks soooooo good >.>
Now I want to know which countries are in top 10 at EYK.com !
AAAAHHHHHH so jealous. I wish I could have gone to Japan too. But I guess since I'm going to Seoul in June I can't be to jealous :)
Rock the rocker room and keep the rocker key with you at all times? It was good English until I read that part XD. So funny lol. Thanks a bunch for the videos~!!
I'm SO JELLY!! Japan looks so awesome, can't wait to visit someday!
I know that I will probably sound like a nerd for saying this, but are you familiar with the anime and manga of "Kimi Ni Todoke"? The main character has the last name of "Kuronuma", so I just had to comment. I absolutely love the manga.
the reunion of y'all and spudgy was like a cuteness explosion
Okay, I gotta stop watching WANK videos when I'm currently hungry, this makes it only worse.
I know EXACTLY how you feel. My stomach makes more and more noise. But there isn't too much yummy food here.
Same here!! It's lunch time here so I'm like dying… I would do anything right now for one of those ramen bowls!! They look sooooooooooo yummy… ñam ñam
spudy is too cute. that was my best part of the video. it was like la la la la fun with simon and martina then that reunion just crept up on me i got teary eyed.
Although there is a lot of Kpop in Japan, there is also a ton of Kpop that is sung IN Japanese, and that is what has really helped to push Kpop further.
OMG That's awesome guys! I'm so jealous of everyone who got to meet you there… honestly, if
I had a list of people I want to meet in my lifetime, you guys are at the top of that list. The food looks so yummy. ^^
When are you guys post kpop music mondays? I was dying lol!
Next week.
oh ok cause I wasnt sure. Hope you enjoyed your vacation! ^_^V
my friend was in japan for 6 months, she told me that although kpop is everywhere, quite a lot of the japanese people she knew were sick of it xD
Interesting! We didn't ask any Japanese people their thoughts on Kpop. We'd love to do so next time we go :D
My penpal in Japan is 23 and she loves K-pop. She's a fan of After School, SNSD and Big Bang too. She goes to concerts a lot. When I was in Japan I saw that there were actual "Kpop stores" where everyone can get all kinds of pictures, calendars, keychains with their favorite idols on them. And KARA was in about 3 TV commercials while I was there.
I've never been to Japan either, but the semester I spent at college I was a language parter for one of the Japanese exchange students, and would chat with her and her friends over lunch. Anyway, of course my love for kpop came up….one of the girls hated it and didn't like any kpop. One knew some songs from Kara or SNSD……and the other girl, who actually liked kpop, didn't know any of the newer bands, so she liked some of Super Junior and Tohoshinki's older stuff (No B2ST, UKISS, SHINee, or MBLAQ) Kind of interesting XD
totally awesome!! i've always wanted to go to japan!!
that meet-up was pretty sweet, tho i find it hilarious that it's pretty much all female except simon!!
There was one more guy there! And, no, we didn't get those PJs. We were thiiiiiiiiis close to buying them, but we had no room in our bags to pack them.

MONDAY, Nov. 28 (HealthDay News) -- For healthy women with low-risk pregnancies, the incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes is low in all birth settings, giving these women more options when choosing where to have their baby, according to a study published online Nov. 24 in BMJ.
Peter Brocklehurst, from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues compared perinatal and maternal outcomes for women with low-risk pregnancies, according to their planned place of birth (home, freestanding midwifery units, midwife-led obstetric units on a hospital site, and obstetric units) at the start of care in labor. A total of 64,538 eligible women with a singleton, term, and "booked" pregnancy, who gave birth between 2008 and 2010, were included in the analysis. The primary outcome, a composite of perinatal mortality and intrapartum-related neonatal morbidities, was used to compare outcomes by planned place of birth.
The investigators found that the overall weighted incidence was 4.3 per 1,000 births, and there were 250 primary outcome events. The adjusted odds of the primary outcome were not significantly different for any of the non-obstetric units, compared with obstetric units. The odds of the primary outcome were significantly increased for nulliparous women for planned home births (adjusted odds ratio, 1.75), but not for either midwifery unit setting. The incidence of the primary outcome did not differ significantly by planned place of birth in multiparous women. All non-obstetric unit settings had considerably lower interventions during labor. Compared to multiparous women, nulliparous women were more frequently transferred from non-obstetric unit settings (36 to 45 percent versus 9 to 13 percent).
"Adverse perinatal outcomes are uncommon in all settings," the authors write.

- 10 Types of Italian Men 3 days ago Last night I was tossing and turning in bed until around 1am. In the light of day i can't even remember what triggered it, but I started compiling a list in my head of the different types of Italian men I've had the rather dubious pleasure of meeting over the last six years. And here's the outcome....
- My summer holiday in Riccione 5 days ago "Vieni a Riccione!" Come to Riccione, is what Laura Antonini, my favourite presenter at Radio Deejay, told me when I went to visit her and her partner in crime (talent show judge, tv and radio presenter, and all-round legend) Rudy Zerbi back in Rome in June. The radio has set up camp in Riccione...

For the whole of August over 1500 corn plants are going to be living in the now...

This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines to better index your blog.
The plugin works great.
I have had no problems with this since I started using it. It helps me out a lot!
The plugin works great. Not only does it produce sitemaps that you can submit to google and does this automatically for you, but will also send notifications/submissions to multiple search engines with a click.
Love it.
This is the only one I will use. I turned off my SEO xml because it just did not work as good as this.
I really don't have any clue about site map and i'm still learning SEO, but this little plugin is so vital in order for search engines to crawl your website - its little, quick and works! THANKS!
it's free, sample, low size and will give you all options you need so it's best sitemap plugin.
Спасибо. Все отлично.
Fasta and furious!!
Awesome plugin!

On dominion, a lot of people walk away from their computers while it is loading and therefore are afk for the first 30s of the game or more.
This means you lose top and the top teamfight for sure, sets you back the entire game. Then they come back and don't get counted as afk by anything because they weren't gone very long, but they cost the rest of the team so much.
riot just want to ask if i report these people is that legit? or can you implement something on leaverbuster to handle this for dominion?
Upgrade your computers and less people will go AFK because they can't be arsed waiting for some pimply 14 year old to load the game on his parents' ancient ebook.
Dude never said that there was any particularly long loading screens. People do walk away from their comp while LoL is loading in - I do it all the time. I always make sure it doesn't take me longer than 30 seconds once the loading starts though. It feels awful to watch the one guy in your spawn who hasn't bought anything just sit there while you pray that he's going to move any second once the countdown to game start begins.

The first 30 seconds of the game you're still locked in the well.
