A friend of mine who happens to be a teacher in the city made a couple interesting observations as to why his union has now twice failed to ratify a contract.
The first issue is a general disconnection between the teachers' bargaining team and the rank and file.
By a wide 63-percent margin, the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation voted down a second recommended contract of 7.3-per-cent over four years plus a $700 first-year signing bonus. Last October, the teachers rejected a 5.5-per-cent, four-year deal recommended by their committee.
This suggests that those at the bargaining table don't seem to know what their own members want. But when asked why this was the case, my teacher friend noted that rural teachers aren't as eager to take the first offer handed to them as they used to be.
There used to be a certain level of predictability in province-wide unions like the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation largely based on where people lived.
Urban teachers may have their problem of too many teachers wanting to work in city schools — some rural teachers didn't necessarily face. That said, rural teachers have never been compensated for working in smaller towns. Actually, they were usually the first to agree to small wager settlements because they knew their steady pay cheque was often better than what a lot of farmers were getting.
But with the demise of smaller farming units in the past 20 years in particular and the profitability of large farms in these better times in agriculture of late, there has been a decided shift in rural Saskatchewan, my teacher friend noted.
Rural teachers feel they are now falling behind — especially with the cost of living also rising in rural Saskatchewan. And seemingly unbeknownst to even their own bargaining team, they are demanding more to keep up.
Like anywhere else, rural Saskatchewan was a place where there was always some economic disparity. But traditional nature of Saskatchewan rural economy where it wasn't always easy to make a buck was always a great equalizer.
For example, during the Great Depression when two-thirds of rural Saskatchewan teachers made less than $700 a year, the farmers and businesses paying their salaries were doing no better and sometimes worse.
This has changed a bit in the current rural Saskatchewan where the boom in oil, agriculture and potash has turned much of rural Saskatchewan on its head. That said, it has also created more economic disparity that rural Saskatchewan has seen in some time.
Consider the average wage at SaskPower now over $100,000 a year — partly driven by the overtime for linemen or workers running rural-based power plants at Poplar River and Boundary Dam. Consider what has happened to nurses' salaries.
Combined with those oil workers and potash miners and the disposal income in the farming community and there is a lot of rural people out there that are thankfully doing rather well. This reality is apparent in sky-rocketing housing cost in smaller cities and towns.
However, some public servants like teachers or highway workers haven't been doing quite as well.
Nor have all rural retail stores or restaurants necessarily kept pace. It's been tougher on some rural businesses because of depopulation and the eagerness and opportunity of those in rural residents with disposal income to shop elsewhere.
And with an aging rural population on fixed incomes, First Nations living on reserves or even those remaining small farmers or business left behind by the boom, one can only wonder how those who are poorer and are going to keep up with the boom.
Such disparity may have an impact on not only rural Saskatchewan but also on the province as a whole.
All one really has to do is look at the unpredictability in these teachers' negotiation to see the impact it is now having.

Perhaps there is some good news on this gloomy Monday for Indiana basketball fans, a day after the Hoosiers were clobbered 103-74 in East Lansing, likely ending any hope for at least a share of the Big Ten title.
Matt Roth, a 2008 signee, scored a season-high 34 points Friday night as his Washington Panthers won their fourth consecutive regional title. He hit nine three-pointers, and according to the Peoria Star-Journal's Wes Huett, he was nailing them from everywhere on the court.
"The wing. The corner. The key," Huett wrote. "Even with one foot on the volleyball attack line… seemingly anywhere and everywhere beyond the arc."
His Panthers are now 23-3 and play Tuesday night in the sectional semifinals.
Boiler Up
Laffy #2
"Boiler Up" is about the gayest thing I've ever heard.
Max #3
Stemmler is from Illinois, and was supposed to be the supreme gunner from beyond the arc when signed by IU. Also supposed to be a great defensive guy.
Has he lived up to that at all?
Has anyone ever mentioned that Roth is a poor defender who will be way too slow for the college game at the Big 10 level? Sure he can shoot, but can he stop a gnat?
ww #5
Defense doesnt seem to be needed here JD. I only see 1 or 2 guys playing defense in these last three games. Coach Sam is gone so we dont have to work so hard….eh? Cool.
IU Jimmy #6
Well, then, I guess we should just assume that Roth will suck because Stemler hasn't lived up to your expectations.
Hoosier Daddy #7
Boiler up is the gayest thing I've ever herd…next to "Matty Painter".
Hoosier Lady #8
Stemmler is a hussler and when he is not on the court you can tell. I am not saying he is the greatest player, but he deserves more credit than he gets. He plays with heart and steps up on defense when we need him.
Zak #9
Comparing Stemler to Roth is a bit of a stretch. For one, Stemler is 6'8″ with good outside touch for his size. I don't think Indiana draws up plays for a Stemler three; rather, he just shoots them when he's open.
With Roth it will be different. He's a pure shooter, and from some of the people I've talked to that have seen him play frequently, one of the best pure shooters in the country. He's made more 3-pointers in his career at Washington than anyone in the history of Illinois prep hoops. That says something. Jon Scheyer from Duke, a terrific shooter, came out of Illinois a few years ago, not to mention the countless prodigies from the Chicago area.
This isn't to say I think Roth will come in and start next year, but he'll definitely be able to spread the defenses a little with his long range ability.

What does it mean when a guy says he wants to kick it with you?
I ran into this guy from my past a couple of days ago I knew him in high school . We always had a crush on each other and we spoke on the phone a couple of times back in the day but nothing ever happened. When I saw him recently he asked for my number and he said he wanted to kick it with me. The last time a guy said that to me he hit on me all night basically wanting to have sex. I hooked up with the other guy only because we have that kind of history and I knew what he really wanted but this new guy is hard to read. I don't know if he genuinely wants to be friends and hang out or if he wants to be more than just friends.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I think kick it means hang out. I don't speak ebonics though, just l33tspeak.
Agreed!! I always tell guy and girl friends "Lets kick it sometime!" and the last guy was probably because your chemistry was right this guy maybe can't read you either and will just hang out unless you send him hints you want it lol and if you don't want it, don't hint or don't bring up anything to lead to that lol :)
Kitty pidgin is also in my range.
What Guys Said 2
I live in San Francisco, and over here that phrase is generally understood as meaning you want to hang out. I frequently hear guys saying to their guy friends "we should kick it this weekend." I suppose the answer to this question depends on where you live, because the phrase obviously means something totally different on the other side of the country ;p

Pirelli P Zero Tire Blowout Need Advice
Join Date: Apr 2002

Posts: 242
[quote]Originally posted by nocaguy1:
Since I've had the 996, I've smelled an unusual smell from the engine area and could not figure out what it was. There were no engine leaks of any sort that could account for the smell of something hot or burning.
Can the exhaust get that hot that it will affect the tire? Or was my tire possbile rubbing on some part of the supsension that could cause it to wear out on the inside sidewall?

(1) Didn't notice any leaks, etc. in PPI
(2) Tire life had plenty of tread when inspected at time of purchase.
(3) Experienced strange smell from engine area ("burning rubber" perhaps?)
(4) Tire burst at high speed.
Signs sure seem to point to the fact that the tire was rubbing against the wheel well, and the friction generated at high speeds caused it to burst. 996's can obviously easily take 18"-ers. Likely cause is that the tires weren't mounted right when you upsized.
Would love to hear what the dealer/my compadres think.

Did it look like this?
This is a 295/30ZR18 Pirelli Asimmetrico off the Turbo.
Firstly, the most common cause of a blowout is a low pressure condition. Either the pressure isn't checked for a long time (these tyres loose air through the rubber very quickly because of the high pressures) or else there is a problem with the valve or even more likely, the tyre gets some sort of slow leak from a nail or something. Inspect the tyre very carefully to see if this is the case.
No, it is extremely unlikely that the heat causing this blowout came from the exhaust or externally. The heat causing a blowout is generated deep in the tyre around the plys that hold the tyre together. The problem is that the heat here cannot escape easily. This is why the pressures on these tyres are so high -- to minimise flexing and therefore minimise heat build-up.
The reason for the smell and bits falling out is that you opened up the tyre to the point that is hottest and can literally smell the burning rubber. It was very much the same on my tyre. If you look on the ground you can see a trail of tyre bits in this photo:
The tyre fails at the inside edge because this is the point that gets the hottest. Remember, the Porsche runs the rear tyres with negative camber. So when you are going straight down the road the tyre is basically running only on that inside edge. That's why they wear out first there.
The loads are higher on the right-rear tyre in straight and level driving. It will wear about 1 mm more over its life than will the left-rear.
So let's say that you find no nail and no other cause for the blowout. Then in all likelihood, the cause is a defective tyre. We already know that these tyres are shifting their belts and going egg shaped (I have a couple like that now and every single Asimmetrico has given me trouble in one way or another).
In my own case, the blowout happened at 200 km/h after I slowed from cruising at 230 km/h because I started to feel a vibration. The tyre pressure was being carefully watched and no signs of a puncture. Clear signs that the tyre was defective.
On the good side, with the width of the tyre a blowout was no big deal at all. But I hate to have thought what would have happened had it been twisty mountain road instead of highway (a half hour earlier I had been going very fast on a mountain pass).
I grow to really not like the Pirelli Asimmetrico (the Asimmetrico is 1990's technology -- we're not talking about the Rosso which is a different tyre entirely).
Please post some photos if you can.

I had a blowout on my left rear tire too, soon after I bought the car. This was on 285/35/18 S-02. That tire was immediately discarded but I found that the right rear also had just one patch along the inside edge that was particularly worn.
Took it to Custom Alignment in mountain view and they said the same thing FixedWing said, that the tire must have been underinflated and running hot. Subsequently it suffered damage from impact on road irregularities and the tread started separating.
Fortunately it blew up on the 101, half an exit away from Rector Porsche. Unfortunately it broke my wheel.
Hard way to learn the importance of keeping tire pressures right.

Hmm. I had Contis on my 00 Cab that lasted the distance. I replaced them with Pzeros and had two flats in 4K miles (both rears).
I bought a 02 Cab (came with pzeros) and have 3K miles on it. I got it out of storage today, flat tire. I called my tire guy (who knows me on a first name basis now) and he, without me telling him, said "right rear"? He told me he replaces right rears on 996s all the time...
This week, one Pzero, set for my truck, and set for my wifes Lexus (they only last 11K miles too...).

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will be checking tire pressure contantly.
Fixedwing, my blown out tire looks exactly like yours did, all around the tire, including the burnt rubber shreds.

had a blowout on the a rear Pirellis Asymmetrico 4 months ago on the 280......got lazy with the tire pressure. Seems to be the penalty.
Replacing the tires withe new Pzeros does not seem to solve the problem of pressure loss. Tires handle great but a week in the garage = 1-2 pounds of pressure loss.
Never had much pressure loss on the Continentals that came with the car (they were trash though) or on my Michellin Pilots on my Dinan BMW......
Can't wait for a better tire with the same performance....Any suggestions?
for now....buy a very very good tire pressure gauge. Audi has some pretty good ones.

Low profile ultra-high performance tires are prone to this type of failure nowadays.
If these tires are allowed to deflate significantly on the car, running or not, unmounted you can see the very slight damage to the area where the sidewall and tread join in the form of small pores in the membrane inside the rubber. All it takes. Air migration into the rubber is the cause of the blowout at some (unpredictable) later point once this damage occurs, even though the tire may never be run overly hot due to underinflation. I do not doubt that hitting potholes and such hard enough could cause the same type of defect.
This is not to correct FixedWing's post, which is quite right so far as I know, just pointing out there is another significant cause for sidewall failures in properly inflated tires. BTW tires going out of round and recovering their shape as they roll under load is called hysteresis, which causes friction, which is reduced by shrinking the contact patch and thus deformation as inflation increases.
If you drive fast, I would add this to your thinking, and quite possibly have any tire that is losing more than a pound or two per month unmounted and inspected.

I really cannot be sure what the cause of my own tyre failure was. Alas, I didn't get to see the tyre again when it had been removed from the rim. Now I really wish I had.
I really don't believe that in my own case it was a low pressure condition. We were on holiday in difficult conditions (the blowout took place in Turkey and we had just driven down through Eastern Europe). We were covering many miles each day and I was keeping a close eye on the tyres to avoid problems.
Notably, I had not had that tyre since new. It came mounted on an extra set of wheels I bought. And when I felt inside of the tyre I could see that it had had a small nail in it and had been successfully patched (this nail hole was not the cause of the blowout). So it is quite possible that the tyre had been flat at some time in its life. Whether this was the cause I don't know.
I've had just about every Asimmetrico deform in some way. The current two on my car are egg shapped. But this is the only one that had blown. And I am regularly doing some very high speed cruising.
Anyway, my original advice is still good. Check your tyre pressures very regularly. With the hard sidewalls it is impossible to see and usually to feel a low pressure situation. And for high speed highway driving the pressures are critical. Unnoticed small nails in tyres and neglected tyres are still by far the major cause of blowouts.
Oh, my experience is that these tyres will loose about 0.1 bar of pressure a month (on the Turbo, the rears are meant to be 3.0 bar and the fronts 2.5 bar) so a little over 1 PSI per month. If the loss is four times this then I would agree that this needs to be investigated.

FixedWing--I was not trying to correct your advice on pressure at all, agree 100%.
The reason I know the factoid on air migration is that I had a nail through one of my original egg-shaped Contis (had THAT too), which I noticed right away and only deflated partially. I looked inside the tire at the shop, and although the nail hole through the tread was slight and clean, the partial deflation of the sidewall had failed that inner membrane there slightly, not near where the nail was. Look inside any high performance tire, the innermost material is not rubber.
I believe that is what failed your tire, it had most likely deflated under load when it had that nail resulting in the same defect, which is a time bomb. Exactly what they warned me about at the tire shop.
Notice from the pics you did not have a tread separation, which is the tread coming off the belts which is almost always from running underinflated and hot, just as you advise. That is a blown sidewall.
My point is that anyone who has had a tire significantly underinflated for one single moment should get it unmounted and inspected, about $25.
FWIW a rule of thumb is 1psi per month, 1psi up or down for every 10F change in ambient temperature.

Don't worry Nick, I didn't think you were. In fact, I am always happy to hear what people have to say. That's how I learn.
Speaking of which, can you explain exactly what "air migration into the rubber" means? What I'm curious about is how this might damage the tyre. We know already that air will slowly pass through the rubber.
I can think of a couple possibilities. 1) the air bubbles produce localised hot-spots inside the tyre. 2) they allow the belts to somehow move and seperate locally. But these are just guesses. Have I missed something?
Is there any way to repair this damage? I would think that this could even happen from mounting the tyre as the tyre can get pulled about quite a bit in the process.

I think your hypothesis is a good one.
Anyway, it would seem the interaction between hot, high pressure air and the rubber is something the tire engineers are trying to avoid. I cannot guess why the material so fragile at the junction of the tread and sidewall.
By the way, I am happy to see that only your tire got hurt when that tire went. I once had the wheel and 18" S02 come completely off a 300ZX-TT due to the wheels being over-torqued. I was driving to the shop to find out what the noise was! I was only going about 10-15mph and braking when it went, and that tire and wheel went about 400 yards (without incident).

I don't know that I can contradict all of the good info on air loss over time. I think there may be one more factor with the factory recommended rear air pressures and hard driving. On a single track visit with my 02TTX50, I noted rear tire air pressure rise over 56psi (58 psi by my recollection-I may have indicated it precisely in an earlier post) in just 5 hot laps. This was starting with confirmed factory recommended rear air pressures. I wonder if your blow out wasn't related to super high air pressures after prolonged hard driving. My Pirellis were ruined by the 5 laps and were replacd by the dealer at no cost due to apparant belt shift resulting in uncorrectable tire vibration. From this point on, I'd be concerned about the Pirellis for any sustained high speed driving. I think you've got to check the hot pressures and bleed the tires when heat results in a significant rise. AS

An elderly St. Mary Parish couple who went missing early Thursday morning has been found safe at a St. Bernard Parish gas station.
The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office says Felton and Marguerite Jones were found by a St. Bernard Parish sheriff's deputy around 3 a.m. near their car, which deputies say ran out of gas.
Family members say the 85-year-old Felton and 83-year-old Marguerite suffer from varying degrees of dementia.
Both were taken to a hospital for evaluation, but the Joneses are reported to be in good health.

Busted Ride
by Slacker and Steve
posted Jan 14 2013 6:42PM
So Slacker and Steve took a quick ride with Little D today and realized what a busted ride he has. While Steve was in the back seat he had to be turned around to let Little D know if and when he could get over because… he doesn't have a rearview mirror!
Slacker and Steve realize that Little D has a baby on the way and probably has other stuff to spend his money on but it just made them reminisce about the busted ride that Slacker had… In high school he bought a Ford Pinto that his parents led him to. It was so ugly that even though it practically had a fold out bed in it, he couldn't get any girls to get inside it! It was Forrest Green with fake wood paneling that was peeling off. The hood was purchased at a junk yard in a dark brown shade, and the front passenger side was Baby Powder Blue. Slacker is pretty convinced that no one can top this…
What makes your vehicle a "busted ride"?
My friend and I had what we called "hoopties" when we were 17. Mine wouldn't move more than ten feet if I didn't let it warm up for ten minutes. Hers had a heater that never turned off. So, in the middle of the summer she would drive down the highway with the heat cranked until she was about to pass out, then quickly roll down the windows for the burst of fresh air. As crappy as they were, we never wrecked them, but when we finally bought newer, nicer cars, we wrecked them three days apart from each other.

How to transfer from a wolf to an eagle
I'm stuck at this challenge. When I'm riding on a wolf and run into an eagle, the eagle just grabs on to the wolf's nose. It doesn't transfer me to the eagle, and the challenge specifically says "wolf to eagle" not "eagle to wolf". So I'm not sure how this is supposed to happen...
Answer from: Stoods
To be honest I think is luck I got it by being on a wolf hitting a rocket pad then grabbing an eagle. Took forever
Answer from: Ramo
I think it is impossible and to bust five clouds is too impossible
Answer from: Pedrohones
I also got this by fluke, on a wolf, hit a rock on a steep slope, got thrown off & caught an eagle. Couldn't have planned it. Agree 5 clouds is virtually impossible, it's the only challenge I have left but my top is 3 in a row. Any thoughts anyone?
Answer from: Dazzler
You can do the 5 cloud bursts using an eagle, but the transfer is nearly impossible!!
Answer from: Guest
Use the eagle to bust into five clouds.
Answer from: rocketeer
Same. The Wolf got hit by a rock and a eagle caught me in mid-air. did'nt plan it at all. Bust 5 clouds in a row is insanely hard. the only one i am stuck at from the last rank. all other done.
Answer from: Boo
I used the penguin to do the five clouds made it pretty easy
Answer from: NoVaKaiN
The best way to bust 5 clouds is to select an eagle to start with but don't start until an eagle flies by the cabin. I wait 5 seconds after it does, bust through clouds with the first eagle, then transfer and bust the remaining with the other eagle.
Answer from: The JoAntichris
I was riding a wolf, the avalanche caught me, my rocket booster kicked in, and I flew into the eagle. Crazy.
Answer from: Jsks
Theres a fix for the wolf to eagle transfer now
Answer from: SkiSafari Maste
To bust 5 clouds just get on an eagle and fly through them. You will finish that challenge almost immediately. I did it on my first try.
Answer from: Kab
Ski safari maste - what map did you do that on
Answer from: Ski-pert
Burst 5 clouds?? Got it first run after it was made available... Ride an eagle through 5 clouds... Done. Have the entire game completed and transferred from a wolf to eagle before the update, you just have to be knocked off a wolf and the next animal grabbed must be an eagle.... Not really a "transfer" but there ya go.... It is a game and they are called " challenges " not supposed to be given to you...! Cheers!
Answer from: Dar88
How do I get the wolf in ski safari?
Answer from: Not working
You all say to use an eagle but please can you describe in the biggest details how to do it because when I take an eagle I hit maximum 2 clouds and he goes off and sometimes I can't hit more because the eagle glides on the cloud. Please I need help. Why does nobody makes a video tutorial. I would be nice. Thanks.
Answer from: WilliamW
For (burst into 5 clouds issue), I ride a penguin and jump off the cliff with red tail, keep in glide. It needs a bit luck. I'm now stunk in (wolf to eagle), it's my last achievement.
Answer from: Justin
The way u did it was by loosing the wolf (hitting a rock, etc.) theen quickly gettng the eagle while ur still in the air.. i got it by accident but thats how u do it and it isnt even in the game anymore so dont even really worry about it

tanks cant be killed anymore without it
1. that just shows how noob you are not knowing how to use the tools available to you and how to counter build
2. the item was replaced by a new item that does similar effect and somewhat a better item over all called the blade of the ruined king
better item my ass, 4% current CURRENT hp, meaning that decreases as your opponent gets lower, a terrible replacement, may as well have given us kiteas bloodrazor with a lifesteal and an active to make it difficult, oh wait...that is what they did, adc cannot counter tanks as properly anymore without the madreds
i have to agree that nerfing black cleaver (removing the attack speed bonus) and removing Mad. Bldrazer, was terrible for ADC. I used that combo often and u could see the health of tanks.. with 3000+HP, melt away..
I tried the new items.. and they suck..tanks can kill u quite easily, you have no chance of surviving a team fight, as a low health tank, is .. still a tank.. and if not dead.. will eat u alive.
The madreds/black cleaver combo gave u an extra 70% attack speed, and in combo with the other factors, there is no combo of 2 new items that gives u that for the same price.
ADC's will have little to no effect late game when the other side is a tanky team.
AP's will rule the day.. tanks typically have enough armor to now adequately protect against anything an ADC can throw at them.
Madred's Bloodrazor was also a late game strategic decision for junglers instead of making Wriggle's Lantern.
This decision tree or flexibility to the player is now gone, and that sucks too. :(
But the Blade of the Ruined King is not nearly as good as Madreds, even if the activated use item is great when you use it, not so great when it's on CD.
I'd rather have the former, than the latter.
Tank shredding is being left to only the AP scaling hybrids, with their scaling malady and gunblade, and spellblade mastery. Bloodrazor was there with attack speed for the sake of leveling the field with tanks, quickly stacking the % hp magic damage that is otherwise underwhelming compared to raw damage on less beefy targets. Old cleaver was a little strong against lower armor targets, and I am ok with the changes to that. It is more useful on bigger tanks, and can use ability damage as well as autoattacks for stacking, so it does not require the speed to get the stacks on in a timely fashion. Blade of the ruined king is just poorly designed. Its best use would be to sustain in a drawn-out harass scenario, but it is too expensive to fit into early laning. It might be good if it built out of madred's as a jungle option, to sustain against and whittle down the big mobs, and have its active to help with ganks. It is not a substitute for bloodrazor, however, and an additional hard counter to HP is much needed.
Let's say a tank is coming at you with 3000 HP and 50% MR.
4% of 3000 = 120 magic damage on your first hit.
120*.5 = 60 damage after resistance. *.5 = 30 health restore.
This is on your first hit, as the tank's health decreases...
So yeah, seems pretty weak to me. If it was max health like bloodrazor it might be a decent item.
Attack speed is an AD multiplier.. if u are hitting ur opponent twice as fast as he is, u are doing twice as much damage. Seems simple but most people seem to forget that simple fact.
Look at it this way. PD gave a 55% speed boost (before nerf).. but no AD, no Magic Damage and no armor. Madreds gave a 40% speed boost, but gave 40 AD, about 120 Magic Damage (assume a 3000 HP tank) and armor, to protect you.
I take the Mad. Bldrazer over PD every day, and twice on sunday.
Combine it with the old Black Cleaver. That did 55 AD, but more importantly, it gave ARMOR REDUCTION, of 15 X 3, =45 by the third hit.
That combo, Black Cl and Mad Bldrzr, gave u a total of 95 AD, 120 MD, and 25 armor as well as 70% Attack speed bonus.
Infinity Edge, PD combo (before changes) gives u 80 AD and 55% Attack Speed bonus.
You also get critical strike, which Mad and Blk C don't give u. BUT, u get no armor reduction!!!
but a total of 215 combined damaage and armor, with higher attack speed was better combo, IMHO, esp. with the ARMOR REDUCTION.
So, u lose critical strike but do twice the total damage AT A FASTER SPEED. PER HIT, plus the armor protection u get and the armor reduction u give.
anyone who says Mad Bldrazer was a weak item cannot add.
In my prior post, i gave descrete numbers and examples why the MadBdrzr, Black cleaver combo was far superior to the Inf. Edge/PD combo.. which is the linchpin for any ADC in every posted guide that exists.
Damage is damage.. whether magic or physical damage. Each can be nerfed.. no disagreement there. But a tank cannot nerf both, AND build Health, AND build attack damage all at the same time. In fact, LOL is designed around having to make choices. Giving ADC the capability to deliver both, at high levels, no less, gives tanks some terrible choices.
Furthermore, u only have space for 6 items. if a tank needs to fill an additional slot with magic resist or more armor, then. that is one less item they can fill with more health or attack damage.
Putting boots, 2 of the above items leaves u with 3 slots left.for an ADC.. please show us what u r talking about when u say "multipliers".. please be specific on which items ur referring to. Also, indicate why they would not work with the above two items. In fact, any item that works with IE/PD combo will work with BC/Mad.Bldrazer.
IMHO, there is no grreater multiplier than Attack speed, if there is enough of it.
BTW, it would be most helpful if u could give me a current example of 2 items that dealt more damage, over all, then the combo of the old black cleaver/madred's bldrazer.. but u wont be able to.. i have been looking and it just does not exist for ADC.
I think u should educate urself on the actual numbers before calling other people uneducated.. it is very.. ignorant.. of someone to say that. For example the statement that Madreds didn't work because of magic resistance..is just plain wrong.. ur ignoring the 40 Attack damage and the 40% speed boost which went along with the additional armor it provided. Those work just fine in the face of magic resistance. In fact, the armor gives u an additional level of survivabiltiy.. oh... isn't that considered a multiplier. the abiliity to survive attacks?.. please please please.. educate this poor ignorant fool.. but with facts, not mumbo jumbo with nothing behind it.

My requirements ended up needing dynamic menus based off of many different criterion of user event registration.
I'm not familiar with php and after speaking with Stephen, I was confident in hiring him for this challenging task. I got more than I expected.
He communicated effectively and patiently and did a tremendous job. I've worked with many consultants and very few are as top notch. I would highly recommend him and this extension.

pIf all of this weren#8217;t enough to entertain you, at the end of the preview they give some clips of the goings-on in the season to come, and that#8217;s what made it all worth it.

This might be the first season of Real Housewives were someone actually GETS SHOT.

pAnd then there#8217;s Danielle; it#8217;s unclear how she knows the rest of the Housewives, but like Sheree from Atlanta,strongcoach handbags made in india/strong, she#8217;s a divorcee waiting on her settlement. And like Sheree, if she doesn#8217;t get it, the house is gonna have to go. Getting a job doesn#8217;t seem to occur to her, so she starts trolling online for someone to pay her bills and feed her daughters. Hey, we all have skills. Hers just might not be in the legitimate job market, if you catch my meaning. She does look pretty fabulous for 45, I#8217;ll give her that. She#8217;s well-preserved, and I hope she#8217;ll soon be banging a tennis pro for all of our enjoyment./P
pThere#8217;s Teresa, whose husband owns a #8220;construction company,#8221; and claims to no longer have big Jersey hair (which is, of course, hilarious. Her hair is huge. And possibly a weave, since it doesn#8217;t appear to sit on her head quite right). Most of her section of the preview centered on her quest for #8220;bubbies.#8221; To grown women living outside of north Jersey: that means she wants fake boobs. Teresa may also be the tannest person I#8217;ve ever seen in my life; it#8217;s amazing that she hasn#8217;t turned into a giant, non-moving piece of Teresa Jerky yet. /P
pLadies and gentleman, these women are on a different level, and possibly from a different planet. First,strongcoach handbags made in india/strong, does anyone remember Dina from VH1#8242;s Big Fat Fabulous Wedding or whatever it was called? She had the wedding with 700 guests that cost in excess of $1 million. She and her sister Caroline (the one with the short hair) are married to brothers that own a #8220;catering business and banquet hall#8221; in Patterson. Jacqueline, who seems kinda mousy but apparently has a PAST, is married to their brother. Caroline scares the bejesus out of me, mostly because I think she#8217;d totally cut you if the time came./P
pYou might be wondering why I put some of the #8220;family businesses#8221; in quotation marks #8211; quite frankly, I think they#8217;re all mob fronts. They might as well have all said they were in the dry-cleaning business, and all of their husbands look like wise guys. I#8217;ve worked on the corporate side of the #8220;catering and banquet#8221; industry, and it can be quite lucrative, but it is NOT THAT lucrative. A banquet hall, even a nice one, is not buying Ferraris, million-dollar weddings, and McMansions for you and all of your siblings. A #8220;construction business#8221; is a classic front which should need to explanation #8211; they weren#8217;t even trying hard with that one. /Pp
Oh. My. Gawd. I know a lot of you ladies probably watch Real Housewives of New York, and if you didn#8217;t stick around after last night#8217;s new episode to see the preview of Real Housewives of New Jersey,strongcoach handbags made in india/strong, well, you made the biggest mistake of your entire week. I#8217;ve been a casual fan of all three incarnations of the #8220;Real Housewives#8221; franchise since way back when Jo and Slade were still going to get married in Orange County. Atlanta is my favorite, for obvious reasons, and I want to be besties with Bethenny from New York (#8220;You come from a place of #8220;no.#8221; BAHahahaha). I#8217;d like an opportunity to punch Kelly Killoren Bensimon in the face, but she#8217;d probably just crumple into a pile of shriveled,strongcoach handbags made in india/strong, fake-tanned limbs if I did that. /P

I'm not fully up on the American system for developing young talent, but the european way seems to to better, the red bull rookies series etc and the likes in turning out masses of talent.
What does the American do? would be interested to know, i dont believe its a lack of talent in American, maybe its just not getting its chance to rise to the top.

Cosher -- of the 315 million, about 25% are "imports", so that helps the numbers a bit... :-)
But frankly speaking, as an American, I think the only way that most will be successful in MotoGP is to do what Casey Stoner did: his family moved from Austrailia so he could grow up in the system. Transferring from AMA, or even WSBK to GP is not easy when so many come up through the ranks.
F1 in my mind is the same. Boring NASCAR, and usually boring Indy car, do not translate to F1 easily.
However, now that Moto2 is 600 perhaps a few more Americans could find their way from the 600 classes in the US, but I think that in general there is no substiture for coming up through Moto3/2/GP.

Think he has it in himself to win races but not where he is in moto gp, in fact not in this class at all. If he goes back to world superbikes I think we will see the the old Spies back. IMO there are three or four bikes in moto gp with the wrong riders on them, contracts or not the teams need to get this once great racing class back on its feet instead of the procession it has become.

SPREAD is a fresh, funny, and racy look at the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to a life of privilege in Los Angeles. Comic and karmic, the film is an "immorality tale" about a gorgeous guy who gives women what they want in order to live exactly as he likes.
In SPREAD, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) isn't a gigolo. He's a sexual grifter, a fun-loving, freeloading hipster who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess, which he uses to charm his way into the hearts of the city's richest women and enjoy their lifestyle. Nikki gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex. The women get to feel young, beautiful and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom. It's a mutually beneficial set-up.
Nikki's latest conquest is Samantha (Anne Heche), a stunning middle-aged lawyer who gives him more than he's ever had before. But then he meets a gorgeous waitress his own age named Heather (Margarita Levieva). She comes to visit Nikki at Samantha's house while Samantha is out of town, sees what an incredible place it is and comes to the mistaken conclusion it's his. Unbeknownst to Nikki, Heather lives by playing the same game.
When Samantha comes home, she discovers Nikki's infidelity and he's put out on the street. With nowhere else to turn, Nikki pulls out all the stops to win Heather over and they begin to form their own kind of bond. Sexually charged by a game of one-upsmanship, each shows the other their best grifts, and they unexpectedly begin falling in love the one thing they can't do in the life they lead. Soon, the truth of their unfolding relationship forces a choice between love and money, and Nikki has to decide whether he can live on his own once and for all in the hopes of finding something real.

Fox enjoyed eight seasons of great success with House, a high-concept medical procedural about an incorrigible, deeply flawed medical genius.

Comebacks are big news this fall — James Spader enjoyed one on Monday with the splashy premiere of NBC's The Blacklist — and nowhere is this more true than on Thursdays, with three high-profile comedy vehicles for beloved stars from sitcoms past.

It's time for the poll.
Vote for up to THREE explanations of the nature of my status updates. Vote in the comments. You can only vote once.
Voting will end on January 19th at 11:59 PM Eastern. A tiebreaker, if necessary, will be held the following day.
- - - - - - - - - -Entry 1: You have invented a new form of musical notation, which uses syllables to represent notes. Your status updates are in reality short piano pieces.
Entry 2: Written on paper strips are the words. You pull them out of a hat, or several.
Entry 3: You ate a Q-fruit from my garden to gain Qtopian powers.
Entry 4: Sumiki channels the amazing powers of Vezon, Deadpool, Murdock, and The Mentalist to select the exact and precise words and word order needed.
Entry 5: You get them from commercials. Likely, you take every 3rd, 5th or 8th word spoken in the commercial, or something similar. If it was Lhik, it'd obviously be every 13th, not sure what it'd be for you. It's also possible you exclude brand names and the like.
Entry 6: Clearly farm animals communicate these phrases to you in your dreams.
Entry 7: They are all simply part of an algorithm, one so powerful and so intricate, that if coded correctly could ultimately destroy the very infrastructure of this world, which would let Sumiki's roam the earth wreaking havoc wherever they go. Eventually, with Sumiki Prime (the head Sumiki) as their leader, the Sumiki's would rule the world with enmity and violence using farm animals as tools of war. For him to finish these algorithms would essentially foreshadow the dark and merciless future the Sumiki's have planned for us. That is an incredibly scary thought. I pray that the algorithm will never be completed; otherwise, we are doomed.
Entry 8: Surprisingly, it is a simple process that forms highly philosophical messages. Sumiki first takes the first and last notes of a piece by any famous composer (though he is partial at the moment to Chopin), and then converts their tones into a corresponding human pheromone. He then exposes test groups of 400 individuals to this pheromone and records their moods. These moods each have differing corresponding number values on a very special spreadsheet. Sumiki adds these values together and then counts backwards through the Oxford English Dictionary. This is how he obtains the so-called "odd words" in his status updates, so called by those ignorant souls who view his profile with empty minds. He then uses a trained blindfolded Orangutan to pick a book in the Congressional Library and a trained blindfolded spider monkey to pick a page in the book. Sumiki then replaces nouns, verbs and adjectives in that sentence with ones he chose using his pheromone method to convey cryptic snippets of wisdom from his great mind.
Entry 9: They are just random. You try to fool us with a well laid plan. But I see through it. Pure randomness meant to distract us from something far more... less random, as it is clearly a plot of deception designed to ensnare our attention. I applaud your efforts, but you have failed.
Entry 10: Mere mortals cannot comprehend the mental processes of Sumiki because of their fourth dimensional nature.
-Entry 11: Sumiki listens to Broadway play soundtracks and chooses the 42nd word of the first song over 7 minutes. Repeating this process, he gathers enough words to modify sentences from ancient aramaic texts into wise sayings for the modern age.

Search for city leader begins
The Sequim City Manager Selection Process Committee, comprised of city council members Ken Hays and Erik Erichsen and former councilor John Beitzel, met July 10 to outline how the city will move forward on hiring a new leader.
Questions facing the committee include whether to keep the current interim manager while the city looks for a replacement, what the hiring process will be and who will be in charge of the process.
So far, the committee has received consensus from the Sequim City Council to move forward in hiring a consultant to help streamline the hiring process.
A city manager is similar to a chief administrative officer in a corporation handling city council directives, organizing department heads, working with city staff and overseeing the operations of city government.
The city council terminated former city manager Bill Elliotts employment May 5 and Sequim Police Chief Robert Spinks was named interim manager.
Hays invited Lee Walton of Bremerton to speak at the July 10 meeting and after reporting back to the council July 14 and receiving the go-ahead, Hays is likely to offer Walton the consultant job. City attorney Craig Ritchie will create a contract to take back to the council for final approval before teaming with Walton.
Walton has been the city manager for several municipalities, has acted as a hiring consultant and has done freelance work for Prothman, a professional search, or headhunter, firm.
The interim
During the committee meeting, Hays expressed concern that the council was putting too much pressure on Spinks, asking Walton if the committee should look at hiring a professional interim manager.
Walton said each situation merits its own interim manager, adding that other police chiefs have become great city managers. He said hiring a professional could bring a fresh perspective to the citys operations, but that the professional also could become a bull in a china shop.
Spinks spoke up stating he was willing to stay until the process was finished.
You should hire a consultant to shepherd the hiring process, said Pat Clark of Sequim from the audience. I think it would be a mistake to have a consultant come in to do this work and have him be a city manager as well.
Discussions also led to a blending of the two options, where the consultant could assist Spinks as the interim.
Advised steps
Walton said if the city decides to do the process in-house, someone should be appointed to take the lead.
It is good to have a point person and the direction that person should take in the hiring process because it can become cumbersome and there can be missed opportunities if every topic and decision must come back to the committee or council, Walton said.
Walton said the city would need to create a few documents before advertising the position as open, such as a city project list, issues list, a description of a city managers role, desired qualifications and a description of the city itself.
Spinks pointed out the city has an area description, which it created when it first began looking for a new director of public works, a process that has been put on hold until a city manager is hired. Spinks also volunteered to create a project and issues list.
The committee will review the documents and decide if they will be the foundation for a request for applications. The committee will continue to meet for the next four Thursdays at 7 p.m., starting July 17.
Beyond qualifications
Members of the audience requested the committee identify and review more than just the applicants qualifications, but their personalities as well.
The qualifications end seems to be clear, said Marci Protze, with the Sequim Police Department. But we need to look at what else we want to see in this person. How will this person bring the city forward?
Former city councilor and audience member Don Hall agreed.
We need someone who is more outgoing, someone that is willing to go to clubs, organizations, to speak in other public forums and market the city to its citizens, Hall said. I think, since we are a small town, we should look to get an up-and-comer.
Walton indicated the city would likely find itself with candidates on both ends of the spectrum those looking to settle down in the later years of their career or those with just enough experience to qualify.
While a lot of topics were discussed, the committee made no decision on what the process would be, who would be the lead, whether Spinks would remain the city manager and what process the city would use to hire a new manager. They will however review the options, new input from the city council and bring forward options in the next meeting.
The Sequim City Manager Selection Process Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Thursdays starting July 17 in the Sequim Transit Center, 190 W. Cedar St.

If you were a child or a parent during the early '90s, there's a good chance that ABC's TGIF lineup graced your TV set. Remember TGIF? A two-hour block of family-friendly comedies that tried to make it seem fun staying in on Friday nights?
It officially debuted 25 years ago this month – on Sept. 22, 1989, with a lineup that included Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Full House and Just the Ten of Us. And notably, it debuted four years before that other landmark '90s TV block, Must See TV.

Summer means two things for most Americans: A family trip and a lack of decent TV. However, if you're currently stuck at home, wishing you could find something better to watch, we've got an easy, free solution. You can just ride along with your favorite sitcom of choice!
Remember when sitcoms regularly had group vacations, played out over a series of episodes or even over two-hour movie events?
Sure, Modern Family still does an "away" adventure about once per season, but there was a time when a vacation episode was a full-fledged TV event. Shows you loved would ditch the multi-camera set-up and studio lighting for foreign locales and – gasp! – outside scenes that were actually filmed outside.
Some of these TV adventures happen to be viewable online, and we've collected all the ones we could find.
Bon voyage!

Taiko (太鼓?) means "drum" in Japanese (etymologically "great" or "wide drum"). Outside Japan, the word is often used to refer to any of the various Japanese drums, (和太鼓, "wa-daiko", "Japanese drum", in Japanese) and to the relatively recent art-form of ensemble taiko drumming (sometimes called more specifically, "kumi-daiko" (組太鼓)). The performances can last between 5 and 25 minutes and typically follow a jo-ha-kyū (beginning, middle, end/rapid, sudden, urgent, and emergency) structure, which means the performance will speed up significantly towards the grand finale.

I'll second this, the lack of English commentary doesn't bother me at all - I just finished watching Wrestle Kingdom and man, it was a fantastic show. From an in-ring perspective, it blew away anything WWE or TNA has produced in years too. I've been following American wrestling for a while and have never given puro much of a watch, but that's changed for me just by watching that show. Loved Nagata/Suzuki, Ibushi/Low-Ki/Devitt, Makabe/Shibata, Nakamura/Sakuraba & Tanahashi/Okada - That's
matches that NJPW had on the first show of the year that tops anything a North American promotion has done so far, including Punk/Cena on Raw. Just an awesome show and I'll definitely be looking to watch more New Japan this year.
One other thing that struck me - I was always under the naive impression that puro is much less about showmanship than it's western counterparts... I could not be more wrong. Okada's entrance alone disproves that whole notion I've had, and speaking of him, he comes across on screen as a MASSIVE star. I have no doubt that he could be a big-time player in WWE if he wanted to be, but I'd be wary of how they would use him. Glad to see that he'll be with NJPW until 2015 at least.

Very useful editor with meny features. Thank you for the good work.
I had only one problem with the layout display. Starting from the buttons (image, read more...) everything was out of the main container.
The work around is simple.
In the file plugins/editors/jce.php the line "$return .= "\n";" (at the end of the document) was inside the "foreach". You have to move it outside, just before the "return".
Good luck with the further developments of JCE, i am looking forward to them.
Upgrading to the latest version (easy with the new package installation) fixes the layout problem.

Emergency officials are ordering a mandatory evacuation of a fragile barrier island along North Carolina's Outer Banks as Hurricane Arthur approaches.
Dare County officials said Wednesday that the mandatory evacuation of Hatteras Island would begin at 5 AM Thursday. After that time, no one will be allowed on the island.
The officials said residents and out-of-town visitors who may already have arrived for the Fourth of July weekend should evacuate during daylight hours before the hurricane brings high winds, rough seas, dangerous rip currents and possible flooding on N.C. 12. The two-lane highway is the only way on and off the island other than ferries to the south.
The National Hurricane Center has issued a hurricane warning for all of Dare County. Arthur became a hurricane early this morning.
