If you want to enjoy a really good fan's perspective of the new Yankee Stadium, visit This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes.
It's my favorite Yankees blog, written by Rebecca, a 22-year-old MA student at Fordham University, and one of the most observant baseball fans I have found on the internet.
Rebecca took in Friday night's exhibition against the Cubs. But, because it was an exhibition, she confesses to spending only innings 2-4 in her seat, spending the rest of the time touring the place that replaces The House That Ruth Built.
These two photos are from This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes.

From sexy tousles to blunt styles, make yourself over with a wearable take on the classic short bob haircut

Sexy waves like these on January Jones take a classic blunt bob into sultry new territory. Curl strands section by section, wrapping hair in the same direction each time around a small-barrel iron. Once hair cools, brush through and mist with hairspray.

I left Canada just two weeks before the 2010 Winter Olympics, and spent the last week fruitlessly trying to track down the must-have item of the season: red mittens with the Canadian flag on them. Now I'm in England during the London Olympics, and I'm actually attending! I'm going to see two of the synchronized swimming events in August. Of course I also watched the opening ceremony, which was amazing. I loved the selection of things chosen to showcase to represent the UK. Music, James, Bond, the Queen, childrens books, Mr Bean – they're all things that people in other countries know and associate with the UK. Perfect choice. Meanwhile, I also saw some fun Olympics things popping up on Tumblr. Here are wo of them:
How do you create the perfect flame? The Ontario Science Centre (which is one of my favourite science museums in the world – also a topic for another post) produced this animation that outlines how the flame has changed over time.
Found via It's Okay to be Smart, reblogged from Explore.
And if you have to take part in the Olympics, but it's kind of inconvenient, and you need an excuse to get out if it, have a parent or guardian sign this form – by Twisted Lil Doodles.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

One day in late December 2010 I was in Delhi and decided within 24-hours that I was going to Bali for a holiday, that I needed a break from working 7-days a week, wearing business casual clothes, from being envious when I would see backpackers on their travels in India or hearing about people who were volunteering or doing something cool to help the world. I would look down at the Banana Republic clothes I was wearing and wish I could trade them in for some yoga pants, a comfy shirt, and a headband (especially on the days when I was sweating my ass off in 120 degree weather!). I liked what I was doing, but there was more for me and it would constantly call to me. I, like many people in the world felt like I wanted more purpose; I wanted to do something more. I thought back to the happiest day I could remember, and it was when I was teaching the children from the village at the Happy School in Gurgaon "Didi, are you a good dancer?" (Check out my Teaching! post if you want to read about that and info on how you can volunteer in India)… and how I wished I could do that full-time. There is an amazing happiness that comes from giving back to the world around you … and in India where there is so much need all around you, it was calling to me and it wouldn't be quiet.
When I was in Bali during my trip in December (which you may remember reading about if you have been reading my blog) I arrived at the Yoga Barn on my 2nd night there and saw that they were premiering "The Happy Movie"; I asked what it was and the girl behind the desk said it was a documentary about the happiest people in the world. O.k. sounds good. I arrived at the movie and there were about 150 people already there, I thought, "why the hell do I keep putting myself in these uncomfortable situations", and I laughed at myself (as I often do during my travels). Everyone had that Ubud, Bali enlightened, yoga, raw food glow, casually sitting on pillows throughout the top floor of the Yoga Barn studio (just to give you an idea about Ubud if you haven't been there, my friend Rachelle recently said, "Disney World isn't the happiest place on Earth, Ubud is!"). As I uncomfortably walked over people, a bit envious of everyone's "glow", thinking to myself "I want to be glowy like that!", as I almost stepped on about 5 people, ("omg, I am stepping on the glowy people!") until I found a little free 1×3 foot part of the floor. I sat down and thankfully made a kind new friend in about 30 seconds who gave me one of his pillows to sit on. One of the producers of the movie was there, and he mentioned that he was thinking about moving to Ubud in the new year (hello! see what I mean, the guy who made "The Happy Movie" is moving to Ubud!) At the end of the movie I decided that things in my life were going to change, they would be different. I didn't know how or what I was going to do, but I was going to find a new happiness and I had no doubt about this new adventure.
Fast forward to March 2011 … I was back in Ubud, Bali last week attending my Yoga Life Coaching Training/Retreat with Debbie Williamson at the amazingly relaxing Soulshine, a yoga retreat created by Carla Swanson and Michael Franti, (fyi- I have been talking about becoming a Life Coach for about 10 years now… and if you just thought to yourself, "what the hell is Yoga Life Coaching?" don't worry my website will be up within a week to tell you all about it!). On the first night of the retreat we went through the schedule of events for the week and they announced that one of the nights we were going to the Yoga Barn to see a movie together.
… Long story short (or actually long, as most of my stories end up being), exactly 3 months later from my original trip to Bali, I was sitting at the Yoga Barn, watching "The Happy Movie" again, the producer of the movie was back at the Yoga Barn and announced he was now living in Ubud, I was wearing yoga pants, a comfy shirt, and a headband and I was in the process of becoming a Personal & Yoga Life Coach (something I have been wanting to do for 10 years), with our group of 17 incredible yogi's and new friends … and guess what … we were all glowing! … and bonus, someone just told me I still am. (… that may be because I have been laying in the sun and swimming in the ocean for the last 5 days in Thailand, but I will take it!)
P.s. I know "glowy" is not a real word, but I like it!

Arrojo Hair Creme Review
Peter Anthony Product Review
Arrojo Hair Creme
Condition of Hair:
About the Company
Really, the concept was simple: to create products that would be easy to understand - we want the consumer to be able to pick it up and know exactly what it does inside ten seconds and, as hairdressers working on the salon floor everyday, it had to match our own high expectations of product performance. We rigorously tested and refined each formula until we were completely happy. Previously Iíve assisted Aveda, KMS and Wella with their own product development, so it was great to put these experiences into Arrojo Product. As for the packaging design, I see it as a reflection of the Arrojo Brand ñ youthful, modern and direct with a fuss-free simplicity.
What is it supposed to DO?
Supremely gentle and light to smooth and polish your look. Versatile too, hair crème creates smoothness when you blow-dry in, or simply run through damp hair for a soft and sexy slept-in look.
How important is scent?
The scent is EXACTLY what we love, barely there. it is so light and simple it goes away fast and never competes with your designer fragrance.
How does the product feel when you use it?
The product feels great when you use it. It easily works onto your hands and then through the hair. It never dried out our hands and left them feeling good after several clients in a row.
How does the packaging look and hold up?
here is what we love about the Arrojo packaging and Arrojo hair creme specifically. SIMPLE, EASY, and CLEAN. It looks good in our cases, on our stations and in our bathroom and showers. The products are easy to recognize and not complicated at all.
Holding Power
We put it through the paces!
We loved playing with this and worked with it a lot. We worked it into damp hair on several different textures. it really helped with blow drying and styling. Gave us great control and enhanced our brush work (we used some of the Arrojo brushes we are reviewing as well). The creme is such a huge part of the drying process and made it so easy to work with the hair in order to get the clean polished look we are always looking for. We found it to work great on normal hair and really well on thicker curly hair. You can tell how much time went into designing the performance of the product because there was a amazing amount of control without the hair ever being difficult to get through the blow dry because of gumming up to quickly.
Peter Anthony and his friends share tricks of the trade!
We love the product and will stress these two findings: One, if your looking to dry the hair work it through hair that is a bit damper to really get a little bit of the product to spread through the hair before you start drying. Two, If you are looking to to let it dry into the hair then towel dry the hair a bit more to remove as much of the additional moisture as you can, then work in a good amount and diffuse or air dry (your preference, we tried both and prefer the air drying) This created that "super sexy" slept in look that was just hot. Hair was soft and pliable and had just the right amount of the 'next day just slept in look' that we love.
Products you will need to complete the experience
I think this is a great stand alone product and is not addressed in most lines so you could mix it into your collection without worrying. We tested this product with the Daily Shampoo and Daily conditioner (which we loved).
Peter Anthony shares his last thoughts on the product
There are so many great products in the Arrojo line and it is so apparent that they have been tested and designed around the needs of both the clients and the stylist. I really like them and this is one of my favorites to work with personally.

The Deal: Jeff Bezos Buys an Icon in Washington Post Purchase
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- Amazon.com (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos is buying The Washington Post's newspaper business for $250 million, the publisher said Monday, Aug. 5.
Bezos is buying the paper personally, not through Amazon. The deal comes as The Boston Globe and other publications have changed ownership.
The ecommerce tycoon replaces the Graham family as the steward of the paper that broke the story of the Watergate scandal. Bezos paid tribute to the Graham family and the papers' legacy in a note to employees.
"The values of the Post do not need changing," he wrote.Washington Post Chairman and CEO Donald Graham suggested that Bezos' digital and business acumen, as well as his "personal decency," made him an ideal new owner. In after-hours trading, shares of The Washington Post gained $31.15, or about 5.5%, to $599.85. It is the second purchase of a prominent masthead in recent days, following Saturday's announcement that Boston Red Sox owner John W. Henry will pay The New York Times Co. (NYT) $70 million for The Boston Globe and other properties. Another prestigious publication that was once part of the Washington Post portfolio is also changing hands. IBT Media is buying Newsweek magazine from IAC/InterActiveCorp. (IACI) Barry Diller-run IAC purchased the magazine from Sidney Harman, who had purchased it from the Washington Post. The Post's parent company will change its name and regroup around the Kaplan for-profit education company, broadcast and cable assets. The Post will also keep Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy. The Kaplan business supported The Washington Post as newspaper publishing began to falter. However, the for-profit schools have faced tighter regulation in recent years and have struggled. More recently, The Washington Post had explored new fields, purchasing industrial combustion systems supplier Forney Corp. and healthcare and hospice company Celtic Healthcare Inc. Allen & Co. advised The Washington Post. Written by Chris Nolter.

One of the joys of travel, and there are many, is the return. Not to home, although there is that too, but to distant towns you have known before. Observe people going about their business while you yourself have none. See how the three or four blocks of Main Street have changed over the years; which businesses survived, which went down. Is that little East Indian restaurant still there. Keys Cut; Cheques Cashed. Bodies Pierced; Jewelry Appraised. Tuesday Movie Special: Bottomless Popcorn! Ubiquitous Realty: no matter how small or depressed, here is THE town where you are guaranteed to buy low and sell high. Â The suburbs grow and the downtown shrivels, collapsing upon itself. But in spite of the Big Box plague on the periphery, there is still life here, a defiant pulse.
See how Main Street changes after 5:30pm. Skateboards and dreadlocks begin to populate the sidewalk. Overpowered pickups rumble down Main, young male drivers torn between speed and the quest for connection along the meager few blocks of urban neon. These are real lives, carried on with no regard for the uncertain particulars of yours.
Carry on; I'll be back.

Those look great! I love that deep orange hue and the green sage leaves - can almost smell them through the computer!And I was just wondering what to make with a leftover butternut I have lying around...
que cela a l'air bon!
dommage que je n'ai pas la traduction...
Lilizen, en bas à droite sur notre site se trouve l'outil de traduction "Babel fish". Si vous avez des questions ou voulez des précisions sur une recette vous pouvez m'écrire ou poser votre question dans les commentaires. Nous n'avons pas les ressources pour tout traduire en français, mais je suis prête à aider si vous en avez besoin!
These do look terrific and thanks for the hints about making gnocchi. Haven't tried any in years but I think this photo will spur me on to give these another go...Comfort food at it's best.
Oh, they do look good, Barrett. I'm glad that you didn't actually roll them against a fork because, though pretty, that actually causes me to feel horribly inadequate.
I'm also glad that you pointed out how sometimes we must stray from the recipe, as you did with the flour, to make things work. Nice post.
Kudos to you, Mr. Barrett. That's a beautiful picture of some tasty looking food.
I've been meaning to make squash ravioli but your gnocchi sound wonderful, Barrett!
I was a little confused at first by the terms "wheat" and "white" flour and then I remembered that "white" means "all-purpose" and "wheat" means "whole wheat" - at least I think that's right... (For a small moment of insanity, I was thinking potato or rice flour was the "white".)
-Elizabeth (too literal Canadian who clearly didn't get enough sleep last night)
P.S. Have you tried sauteeing gnocchi? Delicious!!
They were really delicious and you don't need much before feeling full...
The reason you needed so much flour is because you need to drain the squash in a seive overnight. Kind of a pain but it's worth it when it comes to adding the flour!
Good luck!
I have found several similar recipes on the Internet, but this seems to be the easiest, and will produce the best tasting gnocchi. I am an Italian-American, and I plan on using butternut gnocchi/sage butter sauce during the holidays. This way, I have the traditional American flavor and vegetable in an Italian fashion.
Sounds incredible. Can't wait to try this out. But first, I have to master making regular gnocchi from scratch.
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I
stumbleupon every day. It's always exciting to read articles from other authors and use a little something from their web sites.
Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you if that would be ok.
I'm definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.

Hi, just wanted to tell you, I loved this article. It was funny.
Keep on posting!
Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and
i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.
Hi, all is going well here and ofcourse every one is sharing information,
that's truly good, keep up writing.
Since the admin of this web site is working, no hesitation very shortly it will
be well-known, due to its quality contents.
It's amazing to pay a quick visit this web site and reading the
views of all colleagues regarding this piece of writing, while I am also keen of getting knowledge.
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and
let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
Wow, awesome weblog format! How lengthy have
you ever been blogging for? you make blogging look easy.
The full glance of your web site is wonderful, let alone
the content!
Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thanks, However I am going
through troubles with your RSS. I don't understand why I am unable to join it.
Is there anybody getting identical RSS issues?
Anybody who knows the answer can you kindly respond?
Fine way of telling, and pleasant piece of writing to gett
information oon the topic of my presentation focus, which i am going to
deliver in college.
I absolutely must plan for the most detrimental?
The fact remains available :)
you are really a just right webmaster. The web site loading velocity is amazing.
It sort of feels that you are doing any distinctive trick.
In addition, The contents are masterwork. you've done
a excellent task in this subject!
I know this web page offers quality dependent content and additional data, is there any other web site which offers such stuff in quality?
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve
got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Thank you for every other great post. Where else could anybody
get that type of information in such an ideal method of writing?
I've a presentation next week, and I am on the search for such information.

"That�s literally all they do. Maya and Joey are observers in Maradonia while Sagitta and a couple other magical beings do all the fighting and bail them out when they get themselves into shitty situations. And, of course, in the process Joey starts a couple forest fires. That�s it. The entire effect of The Encouragers in Maradonia was to slightly damage the environment. These are our heroes."The protagonist has spent a significant portion of the story bouncing around the tale like a pinball. He provides no plot impetus in and of himself, and has essentially spent the entire story thus far in a reactive state. Whatever is going on in the world, be it war or intrigue, it just drags him along in its wake. This is not a Designated Hero. Designated Heroes actually do things. The things they do may not be considered heroic, but they still do things and thus have an impact on the world around them. Eventually they pick up the Plot Ball and move it around. Even the Little Hero, Big War still has the hero do something important to affect the larger mess around him. The Pinball Protagonist spends a decent amount of time failing to actually have any effect at all. They aren't even lucky enough to be the Plot Ball. If the writing and tone of the tale all imply that the character is the protagonist, and yet they can be lifted right out of the story and have little to no impact on anything that has or will happen: then they're just a little silver ball in the cosmic pinball game of life. If done badly, the reader is left wondering why in the hell the character is the protagonist. It can be done well. Perhaps the protagonist is like a vehicle or a touchstone for the reader, a way of exploring some strange new world or meeting interesting characters. Many characters will have pinball episodes where they are simply overloaded with too many problems in far too short of a time frame to do anything effective. Compare The Watson and First-Person Peripheral Narrator. Also compare the Waif and Persephone archetypal characters, both defined by the ability to bear up under hardship (an undervalued heroic quality often Flanderized into a passive characterization). This can be seen as Villains Act, Heroes React taken to an extreme. Not to be confused with Useless Protagonist, where the main characters make no attempt to make themselves seem important, although these tropes may overlap over time. Contrast with a Young Conqueror Hero Protagonist, who actually drives the plot and makes the villains react to them. For a detailed overview on the use of passive heroes who get tossed about between situations with little control over their external destiny, try The Seven Basic Plots, especially the Rags to Riches plot and Voyage and Return; the passive hero is supposed to be undergoing Character Development, of course. Not to be confused with Bouncing Battler or Be the Ball, where the protagonist fights by acting like a pinball.

Summary: ''Women facing poverty, oppression, and violence are usually viewed as victims. Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn'sHalf the Skyshows that unimaginable challenges are often met with breathtaking bravery.

The book ends with an especially compelling 'What you can do' to exhort us all to action.'' -Greg Mortenson, author,Three Cups of Tea ''If you have always wondered whether you can change the world, read this book.

Sketchbook: Glue it Tuesday!
Hello, spring! It's everywhere. This is a page from my Moleskine sketchbook for Aimee's Glue it Tuesday. Check out her blog to add your own link. All you need is a glue stick and something to glue down to participate.
I handcolored some Japanese printmaking paper and tore it up for this collage. On the top section I used a craft punch to make all of the little holes. I was happy to hide an ugly painting on this page with the collage, and like the bits of green that pop out at the edges. The quote is a small bit of a lovely poem by John O'Donohue called A Blessing for One Who is Exhausted. Even when I'm not feeling particularly happy, bright colors seem to cheer me up a bit. The poem reminds me of sitting outside on the back step with my paints and paper, enjoying the sunshine and sounds of my neighborhood.
Thanks to everyone who popped over from Artsyville to check out my glue creation! I hope you are having a happy and colorful day.

Oh, the colors of your paper are so dreamy! I really like the subtle dots in the lower right corner where the holes overlap the same paper – cool effect!
TriciaApril 2, 2013
Emily – Thank you! That overlapping was an afterthought, and I love it too. I'd like to play around with that technique some more.
Lynn FisherApril 2, 2013
Absolutely lovely…I have to try this!
aimeeApril 2, 2013
I love your color palette… it looks like a big bowl of fruity sorbet! Perfect for spring!
storybeaderApril 2, 2013
Love all the holes in the paper. Everywhere. The bright green is certainly rushing through! {:-D
ChrisApril 2, 2013
It is a GREAT idea to use your own painted papers in collage! I have done it before but it's time to do it again! It makes the whole collage completely original!
This is pretty, and so reminiscent of Spring!
RosApril 3, 2013
I imagine it would be very therapeutic to punch holes in paper, much like popping bubble wrap don't you think? I love the colours you have used. Like others have said very fruity.
MaritApril 3, 2013
The collage with all the little holes is indeed very Spring-like… makes me long for sunny days, green grass and flowers – we've experienced too much cold and rainy days last month in the Netherlands.

UI Professor Linda Kerber and history students discuss research findings
(DES MOINES) – University of Iowa Professor Linda Kerber and her students will discuss "Iowa History Mysteries" next month as part of an ongoing lecture series at the State Historical Library in Iowa City.
"Iowa History Mysteries" will be at 2 p.m. May 3, 2011, at the State Historical Library, 402 Iowa Avenue in Iowa City. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited. Contact Mary Bennett at 319-335-3911 for more information.
Over the past few months, Kerber and her students used library resources such as newspaper microfilm and census records, as well as primary source materials found at State Historical Library and the Iowa Women's Archives at the University of Iowa to explore the following topics:
In preparation for the research projects, Kerber brought UI students in the Colloquium for History Majors program to the State Historical Library to examine collections and identify possible themes and topics.
"Much of the history of Iowa remains to be written," Kerber said. "University of Iowa students have made important contributions to our knowledge of Iowa history. …The purpose is to have the experience of writing history 'from scratch' – identifying a significant question, finding historical resources that can help develop an answer to it, analyzing those resources and, finally, writing an essay that is intellectually persuasive and gracefully written."
Kerber is May Brodbeck Professor in the Liberal Arts and Sciences, Professor of History, and Lecturer in the Law at the University of Iowa. Kerber was inducted into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in 2009.
Preeminent among historians of her generation, Kerber has served as president of the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, and the American Studies Association. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Kerber has long been a champion of libraries and archives, and has been a stalwart supporter of the State Historical Society of Iowa for decades.
The State Historical Society of Iowa is a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, and is a trustee of Iowa's historical legacy and an advocate for understanding Iowa's past. It identifies, records, collects, preserves, manages and provides access to Iowa's historical resources. Its dual mission of preservation and education serves Iowans of all ages, conducts and stimulates research, disseminates information, and encourages and supports historical preservation and education efforts of others throughout the state. Visit www.iowahistory.org or call 515-281-5111 for more information.

An activist and member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is in the Netherlands working to bring awareness to the plight indigenous people face in contemporary society.
Earl Ray, who lives on the Salt River community east of Scottsdale, left earlier this month for Amsterdam to meet with other activists and members of the Netherlands Center for Indigenous People.
Specifically, Ray hopes to spotlight problems of life on Indian reservations and get his issues before the United Nations World Court.
"It's an effort to try to save tribes across the world," Ray said.
Speaking from his home near Camelback and Longmore roads on the Salt River community — an area in contrast to the gleaming city to the west — Ray said problems on the reservations in Arizona and the Southwest should be part of the global forum.
Ray first went to the Netherlands in 1995 looking for help with his research on water law. There he met contacts with the Netherlands Center for Indigenous People, and found allies in promoting Pima language, history and culture.
With his current journey to Amsterdam, Ray will be involved in committees with indigenous representatives from Canada, Brazil and other countries, to bring to light tragedies and atrocities upon indigenous peoples to the U.N. World Court.
The problems facing indigenous peoples around the world range from industrial poisoning of lands in Arizona and other areas of the American Southwest, to the murders of Arhuacos in Colombia
"These cases need to be resolved, because there's numerous cultures that will die off because of this contamination," he said.
The Netherlands Center has been working with the United Nations to protect indigenous rights.
The past 10 years have been designated by the United Nations as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, which ends Dec. 10.
In that time, the United Nations developed a draft declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, which if passed will set universal minimum standards for the rights of indigenous people.
Ray said the Netherlands Center forum events on Dec. 9 and 10 will also be marked by a call for endorsement of the draft declaration by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Tupac Enrique Acosta, an organizer with the Phoenixbased Tonatierra, an indigenous peoples community development organization, said Ray has been known for decades as a champion of American Indian causes.
Ray's work, along with that of Tonatierra, also has a more global reach. Tonatierra, for example, has hosted U.N. officials in its campaign to protect indigenous peoples' rights. The group also has worked with Phoenix to organize a proclamation for an Indigenous People's Day scheduled for March 12.
Acosta said it is imperative the United Nations recognize the declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples.
"It's the necessary step for the recognition and respect for the identity and rights of indigenous peoples, which is not codified in the international legal system," Acosta said. "We're defined as subhuman; governments recognize indigenous populations only. We're in a form of captivity."

Balls on Point
Junior Member
I've played about 20 games or so this season. I've dodged about 60 games. Soon as character select screen pops up, I look up every person on my team and their stats, rating, and their last 10 matches. Obviously you can't judge someone by just a pure loss. but if I see their last 6 games they were 2-13-4 then I'm gonna dodge the que.
Oh but that means I get to sit there for 30 minutes before I get to play again!!! So what?? You'd rather play 30 minutes and lose?
I'm not saying Beef All The Way is wrong. I get those kinds of games too. We had a game were 2 people were dc'd the first 30 minutes. We were beating them in kills 18-9 but naturally the game is about killing the nexus, and they just back doored us until they won.
It happens, but improving yourself may just give you that little bump when it matters most in a game and turn the tides for your team.
Senior Member
Also, Brycearoni, I did happen to look at your stats.
I saw you had a Lee Sin game that was 41 minutes and you went 6-21-20.
21 deaths in 41 minutes? Isn't that an average of about 1.30 minutes per life? (roughly accounted for rezz time and run back time).
If you watch some of these tournament games, a lot of them go 10 minutes before getting a first blood. It's the reason the crowd goes crazy when it happens.
If you're not good enough to carry the game by yourself, you're not that much better (if better at all) then the enemy team. And if you're not better than the enemy team, you're at the Elo you belong.
Here is the thing that you (and anyone else claiming to be in Elo Hell) is missing. Over a sufficient sample of games, your teammates will always been no more or less skilled than your opponents. The only constant in your games is that your team will always have someone who is playing in a lower bracket than they belong and the opposing team rarely will. Thus, you should be crushing games single-handedly.
Are you up 4-0 in Top while your botlane is feeding like crazy? Next time they get double-killed, recall to base and tell them you will 1v2 bot and then can 2v1 top. You'll probably win the 1v2 matchup bot and they will crush 2v1 top.
Are you a 5-0 Karthus whose Jungler refuses to give you Blue? Buy 2 Pink wards and just take the opposing Blue after you kill their mid.
It does exist, you can't carry a game if your team feed bot, top and jungle, trust me it happened to me a lot of times, this is not a single player game, it's a team game, if your team dosnt do well, you can't win at least the other team do worst.
And by the way i've won a lot of games because i carried my team, even tho, i've lost many games because i went support and couldn't carry or because my team fed other lanes and couldn't help them because the opposite team is extremly fed. (I have lost games with 10+ kills)
Well I looked at your recent statistics and saw an average of 3 kills and 12 deaths as lee sin. How exactly is that carrying
Okay so just some perspective, I am new to league. Just playing a few months and rushed to get to lvl 30 just so I could play ranked. I am good at limited roles w/ limited champs but usually hold my own. I am still learning and sometimes i'll get put in a role or champion i havent quited figured out completely. After about 20 ranked games 8ish wins my elo is like 1200. I have a lot to learn and do so every game. So from my point of view if you have been playing awhile and are under 1000 elo just delete your account bro.

WYSP receives $11,600 from RCU Charity Classic
The Wisconsin Youth Sports Program, a free summer camp that has served more than 10,000 area youth at UW-Eau Claire over the past 27 years, received a donation of $11,600 July 11 from the organizers of the 2008 RCU Charity Classic. WYSP, formerly the National Youth Sports Program, was the featured beneficiary of this year's Charity Classic. This year's donation was the largest sum raised in the history of the annual event sponsored by Royal Credit Union, said Carla Leuck, RCU community relations coordinator.
The donation to WYSP was made during a picnic marking the last day of the camp's 2008 session. Following the elimination of federal funding for NYSP beginning this year, UW-Eau Claire decided to continue the program under a new name. The program, which serves more than 400 children ages 10-16 for five weeks each summer and has an annual operating budget of just over $83,000, now relies on community partnerships and private funding for support.

The show, titled "Zero to 18 in 45 Minutes," will include five to six big musical ensembles, trios and duets, featuring a variety of show tunes interspersed with short scenes written by the performers portraying pivotal moments of growing up. Full story.
