Wow, $4.07 a gallon. Like most everyone, it hurts to fill up my tank because of outrageous gas prices. Not long ago, I heard someone say that President George W. Bush was to blame. As someone not particularly enamored with President Bush, I still find it implausible to see how the current gas prices are his fault.

A 47-year-old Lancaster woman died early Sunday morning in a one-vehicle wreck on Hoke Road.
Patricia Coleman was traveling north in a 1999 Ford SUV just before 1 a.m. when she ran off the right side of the road and struck a road sign about 9.8 miles south of Lancaster, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol.
She then drove off the left side of the road, hit another sign and an embankment. The vehicle overturned and ejected her.
Coleman was not wearing a seat belt, Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin said. She was the only person in the vehicle.
The Lancaster Motor Speedway action was on as soon as the race started in the super stock four division.
KERSHAW – The former Springs Industries Kershaw Plant has a new owner who says he's talking with two Poland-based businesses that are interested in operating at the building.
One company makes expensive chocolates; the other makes bakery goods.
Like most everybody else, county officials are looking for ways to save on gasoline costs.
"The fuel costs have really gone up. For example, the week of July 16, 2007, we spent $15,858 in fuel," County Administrator Steve Willis said. "The week of May 26, 2008, we spent $22,468 with the same size fleet."
Stephen Vincent knew his son was dead as soon as he opened his eyes.
Vincent and his son, Daniel, were involved in a wreck on S.C. 9 in Chesterfield County about 5:45 p.m. Friday. They were on their way back to Lancaster and about six miles west of Pageland.
Daniel Vincent was driving.
When he saw a car from the opposite direction passing a tractor-trailer truck, he slammed on the brakes. The oncoming car made it past the truck without harm.
Chris Johnson and partner Steven Threatt were repeat winners in the 28th annual member-guest golf tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club on Sunday.Johnson, the 2005 LGC champion, and Threatt teamed for a two-day total of 131 (64-67) to post a one-shot win over Jeff Reynolds and Brian Smith.The 2008 tournament drew 40 teams.Reynolds, the 2007 club champion, and Smith teamed for a 132 (68-64).A year ago, Johnson and Threatt, a cancer survivor, shot a 126 (63-63) to notch a seven-shot win.Johnson said teamwork was the key over the week
Getting a good sun tan in the summertime used to be the in thing for many Americans. It was considered an ideal, something to strive for – that beautiful summer tan, that Coppertone tan, that healthy tan.
But as it turns out, there's no such thing as a healthy tan. A tan indicates damage to the skin, period. And the more you tan, or worse, burn, the more susceptible to skin cancers you are.
The atmosphere and dining experience for customers at the Pizza Inn in Lancaster has been improved, says its owners, Scottish Food Systems Inc.
In recent months, the store at 1107 N. Main St. has been remodeled.
The busy local restaurant has been given a total makeover, including the addition of an all-day buffet and game room, with fun games for children of all ages to enjoy while dining out with their family.

#109 Dec 12, 2012
I've never been comfortable speaking in double negatives.
I believe in socialism (the democratic sort that we once had in Sweden) Olaf Palme, Alexander Dubcek, Mikael Gorbatjov, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, the possibility of the EU succeeding, the destruction of the American capitalist system, that puppy dogs will cry at my funeral and that my wife and children will remember me as a good man.

Perhaps if I capitalize "Nothing" you will better understand the question/statement. Try this. It is impossible that at one time nothing existed, because if that we so there'd have been no laws. With no laws nothing would have been prohibited.
I suppose socialism can work on a small scale like Sweden. After all, its population is less than some US metropolitan areas. There are more people of Swedish descent in the USA than in Sweden. I think its economic position is tenuous, as is that of the EU collectively. Probably going OK for the King, eh.
As for ol' Olaf, not much he can do for Sweden now.
I like Gorby, too. He helped kill the Soviet Union, bugged out and embraced capitalism by getting rich giving speeches and writing books.
Mandela suffered terribly and showed great courage. He served with distinction. Our own Martin Luther King shares certain aspects with Mandela. King was a man I admired as a teen.
The EU's possibility of succeeding is about the same as its possibility of failing. I hope it hangs on.
The American system is approaching 240 years old, and for most of those years some, like you, hoped it would fail. It fooled them as it has you. Its contributions to humankind are amazing and many: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120518.html If you want, I can list a few.
I too hope your wife and children will remember you.
I would tell you what else I believe in, but it seems from your previous posts that you know, or think you do, to the degree you think.
#111 Dec 12, 2012
You're thinking in mere 3-dimensional limitations and we don't how many dimensions your "NOTHING" was - or what it might be in a possible after life.
Size has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is simply the will of people to see the greater picture of humanity and the value of a materialistic existance. Social-Democracy isn't confined to Sweden, don't you know. Rather all of Scandinavia ..... plus Germany, etc.
A point that has neither relevance nor actual fact.
Gorbatjov did not help kill the USSR. He, as Alexander Dubcek before him, gave socialism/communism an opportunity to increase its level of democracy. It was neither's wish to kill the principle's of socialist philosophy.
No one is "fooled". As the U.S. increases its treacherous deeds so too will its demise be sooner coming.
The problem with American, simplified rhetoric is that it indocrinates a "black or white" "with us or against us" philosphy. It fails to recognise the colour "grey" and that black becomes white when blended with lighter colours. I would have expected you to understand that already and I'm disappointed that you don't.
Try it. You may surprise me. You've already surprised me with a non-slanderous reply.

On the subject of nothing, you know nothing, obviously.
Size has much to do with it, that and the diversity of the population. One of the problems I see in Europeans when they opine about the USA is, they have almost no grasp of the size and diversity here. We are the third most populous nation on earth. We are the most ethnically diverse nation on earth.
Our government is far more than the federal level: every city, town, county, and state has a hierarchy of government. Our infrastructure is huge, yet one is almost inevitably within an easy drive of a fine university, a good hospital, emergency services, an airport, a nature preserve, all kinds of recreation, a river, stream, or lake.
Our population is every color, every race, every religion or lack thereof, many languages, different cultures, mixed in every way. If you look for grey in our people, it is easy to find. We have not forcefully purged ourselves of people we don't like as so much of Europe has done. We are different and we are fused (like our cuisine).

You fantasy world of socialism in Europe seeing the greater picture of humanity is some kind of a joke! Look at Sweden in WWII, selling iron to the Nazis, providing its rails to the wehrmacht to transport its soldiers on. Meantime, the USA had to send soldiers 7000 miles from their homes to fight the Third Reich. Right outside your door your own neighbors are frightened of the increasing size of your Islamic immigrants, of increasing gang rapes, and crime! Antisemitism lies just under the surface in Germany even today. I have lived in Europe and you can have it, if anything is left after it is over populated with Muslims and run aground in socialist policies it cannot pay for.
We shall not agree about Gorby or about the virtues of socialism. It seems we do agree about the value of democracy, even in a kingdom.

Over 400,000 Americans died in the defense of western Europe. America put together NATO that deterred the Soviets and in a large part brought down the wall an took the Soviet boot off of the necks of eastern Europe. In so doing it many have show a greater compassion than, say, Sweden's cowards and profiteers.
Our contributions to humankind go beyond the sacrifices we made on the battlefields (yes, I agree that in recent history that is an uneven subject. I said I disagreed with the second Gulf War, for instance, as I do with Vietnam).
Our contributions in medicine have saved and is saving countless lives around the globe. Our medical schools are renowned, as our universities which we have hundreds of and many ranked as among the very best in the world. Our contributions in agriculture have saved a billion lives, both with improved farming techniques and improved crops. Our contributions in the aviation industry are without equal. Our space exploration has given the world all kinds of knowledge about our planets, moons, asteroids, and our universe. Most of what your kids learned about modern astronomy came from our efforts, provided free to the world.

America has won over 300 Nobel prizes, most of which were ground-breaking discoveries from the quantum world to distant worlds.
We have gone from our days of slavery, a civil war in which more Americans died than in any other war, rampant racism, and division, to having a President like Obama (you must like him as he is as close to a socialist President as we will have).
Our ideals have inspired others around the world, and those ideals are what I like best about the USA. We surely do not always realize them at any given time, but we try to stay on course.
We are the most charitable nation on earth. I am not referring so much to what our government gives for HIV research and protection in Africa, nor to the help we provide other nations struck by disasters. I refer to individual charity provided around the globe by our NGOS, our churches, and by individuals. That comes to just under 300 billion dollars a year!

On my street where I live we have a Korean family, a 2d generation family of Indian heritage, a black family with a Muslim father, a family from Hawaii, a Russian-born man and his American-born wife, a very young couple, and a couple of geezers like me. And we are all friends.
I encourage you to not rely on TV or the movies to try and understand us. Come and visit. See Hawaii, Alaska, our coasts, our mountains, our Cajuns and Creoles, our Orientals, our blacks, our Jews, Christians, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, small businesses, great rivers, and just everyday living. Spend time here.
I have in fact been to Sweden, a lovely place but too dark and cold for me too much of the time. I saw some beautiful women! Then again, I have lived in Hawaii and seen beautiful women too. I once picked up a new Saab there and I lament the end of that marque.

Good post , it has a ring of wisdom to it ,years ago we did value humanity but today? We know the price of everything and the value of nothing, we were once a Democratic republic but are now run by corporate capitalists. Sad but true, when a nation is 16 trillion dollars in debt,wages constant warfare , has it's military in 140 nations around the globe with over 700 foreign bases it doesn't take a crystal ball to see the outcome, just a history book.

What one can do is different from what one may do. If one really thought it necessary, Iran could be obliterated. But who in their right mind would kill millions upon millions of innocent people, kids, women, elderly, noncombatants? The US could in a few blinding flashes end Iran forever, but doing so would change the world for the worse, almost forever. Sadly, Iran seems to think having a nuke would deter such an event, when IMHO it paints a big bullseye on Iran. It is all a disgrace to humankind.
We have weapons in large part because of the history of the world since about 1916. Read up on it. We have weapons because not everyone is rational, and because some folks would do the unthinkable. On 9-11 some folks murdered 3000 people, almost all ordinary innocent people, from over 100 countries. Our weapons did not deter that.
In the long run, the worst weapon seems to be the ordinary gun, the AK47, the M16 and such, which kill people every day. How do you think the world should be policed? I wonder if it might be possible to rid the world of all weapons. Do you think that would be a good idea? Would you start with your own country?

When has history ever known the value of humanity? In the macro sense, never. Individually, forever. I think by and large we know the value of love, compassion, family, community, charity, good, sacrifice, truth, and such. Have you lost sight of that?
We are a democratic republic and are not run by corporations any more now than 200 years ago. I do wonder as you imply if we are first capitalists, then democracies or visa versa. And I lament our failed news reporting and our less than stellar education system below college level.
I agree we are over extended militarily by some factor, maybe half, so I voted for Obama as it seems he shares that opinion; beyond that motive, I would have preferred a different candidate as he is too socialist for comfort given our current debt.
That 700 bases thing has floated around on line for years, but in fact our presence in Europe is a fraction of what it was just 20 years ago (it ought to be zero, I think); the 700 includes things like housing areas for families, recruiting stations around the US, reserve armories, PX/commissary facilities, and other nonmilitary or administrative posts with a handfull of people. Many major US bases have closed, as have many abroad. Look up the facts.
Since you lament our debt, as any thinking person would, I am surprised you applaud as wisdom someone who supports socialism, which is rapidly proving as unsustainable in Europe as our own many social programs are here. Socialist European countries like Spain, Grease, Portugal, and others are on the brink, and the Euro is teetering.

Designer: Lisa ShroyerPublished: Technique: KnittingSkill Level: Intermediate.
Designer Lisa Shroyer, senior editor of Interweave Knits, tells us this about her design: "To me, 'heirloom quality' implies intricate. Inspired by the decorative hex designs of the Pennsylvania Dutch, I charted an intricate motif for this child's special-occasion hood. With its pointy elfin silhouette and folk-y pattern, I could see a young child in my family wearing this hood for holiday caroling, ice skating parties, or as an alternative to the Easter bonnet.
Finished Size: 16" circumference and 8" high, to fit a child. See Notes.
Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool (45% wool, 35% silk, 20% nylon; 192 yd [175 m]/50 g; CYCA #2): #47 greige (off-white; MC) and #50 sandstone (taupe; CC), 1 skein each. Yarn distributed by Knitting Fever.
Needles: Size 2 (2.75 mm): 16" circular (cir). Size 1 (2.25 mm): 16" or longer cir. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle; sewing machine or sewing needle and thread for steek; two 27" decorative upholstery cords with tasseled ends.
Gauge: 261⁄2 sts and 32 rnds = 4" in stranded patt on larger needle.
Skill level: Intermediate.
Made this. Was terrified of cutting the steek, but followed through. It turned out gorgeous. I tend to go a little loose on guage, so it fit an adult perfectly.
Can anyone help a very puzzled knitter. I have completed the joing of the hood where the steek was cut. I cannot see how this will fit on a childs head even as it is now a circular tube with both end open. I see from the illustration with the pattern that the two short sides are closed and the two long sides are open. I am not having much luck in figuring this out. Gillian

Cool Starship. At some point the ship suffers some catastrophe that makes it a very good idea not to remain there, because it is about to explode, fall to the planet below, go careening uncontrollably into the nearest star, or, you know, sink. What are the passengers and crew to do? Why, they must Abandon Ship! Bonus points if the trope's actual name, which is a Stock Phrase nearly omnipresent in all movies dealing with naval action, wet or otherwise, is used. If much of the story has taken place on the ship, then her death (and it will often be played as a death rather than a destruction, complete with strangely mournful sounding metallic groans and dramatic music) will be rather dramatic and played out. If our hero gets to the lifeboat only to realize that a friend or loved one has not similarly done so for some reason, a miniature quest may ensue as they make their way through the chaotic process of the ship breaking up and sinking. Some reference might be made to the Captain Going Down with the Ship. On a military airplane, the crew might be expected to make use of Ejection Seats to escape the plane. Otherwise, they'll probably have to get out the old fashioned way: Strapping on a parachute and getting to an exit before the plane crashes. Starships typically have Escape Pods for the same purpose. Not to Be Confused with Abandon Shipping, which occurs when a Shipping community suddenly abandons a given pairing (and was formerly known as Abandon Ship).

I have a new piece on the Huffington Post. It's a handy little guide for purchasing Tolkien-themed books for your loved ones this Christmas. Now I couldn't put every book on this list. I left out the obvious ones (like The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion), but I did recommend the new version of The Hobbit (illustrated by Jemima Catlin). Some of the books are classics that I've had since I was a kid (like The Father Christmas Letters, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, The Atlas of Middle-earth). And a couple have been published in the last couple of years (Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks). Whatever the case, they're all excellent books…but I could have easily added another dozen great Middle-earth tomes to this list. Check it out.
Must-have Tolkien Books: 14 Holiday Gifts For Any Middle-earth Lover's Library
Overall a nice list, but I wish you'd leave out David Day – in the Tolkien community he's pretty notorious, and for good reason. He's very inaccurate, to the point of plain making things up (I know, it's all made up, but you know what I mean). I thought for years there were legless dragons in Middle-earth before I figured out that was an invention of Day's and had no basis in Tolkien's writings. He does have pretty illustrations, but really his books should be warned against, not recommended.
For a better reference work of a similar nature, you already have Tyler. Better still would be Robert Foster's 'A Guide to Middle-earth', which is easily the best of that sort of book (and has the distinction of being cited by Tolkien's son Christopher in 'The History of Middle-earth').
Or maybe it could be replaced by something biographical? Both Humphrey Carpenter's original biography and John Garth's more recent 'Tolkien and the Great War' are readable and engaging, and can add a lot to your appreciation of Tolkien. Certainly more than Day does.

Since its unification by the British, the oil-rich African country has endured one crisis after another.
Troops stand guard as Lagos protesters mass in opposition to a recent cut in gas subsidies / AP
This month, the BBC asked in a trenchant report, "Is Nigeria on the brink?" It's a question that, in my 12 years of Nigeria-watching, I've heard international observers ask about Nigeria many times. Is this latest episode the end-game, the opening act of the collapse of Africa's most populous nation-state -- and the largest supplier of African oil to the United States? It may be, but it's not too late for Nigerians and world leaders to bring about an overdue solution for this long-troubled country. Originally three separate regions that British colonialists united into one untenable country, Nigeria's best solution for its past and present crises might be to split back up.
The bombings and killings this weekend in Kano, a city that for centuries has anchored the Islamic commercial community in northern Nigerian, are only latest sign of severe crisis. Nearly every week brings fresh instances of the failure of Nigeria as a nation-state. The deadly Christmas Day bombing in a Catholic church in Abuja, which killed at least 37 people, was again in the news this past week because the government admitted that the alleged mastermind of the attack had escaped from custody. The escape ignited new complaints about the incompetence of Nigeria's police -- as well as fears that Boko Haram or other opponents of the government had infiltrated the police leadership.
The escape forced President Gooluck Jonathan to threaten to fire his national police chief -- and brought renewed attention to his failing presidency. Jonathan was re-elected last year over the opposition of much of the country's Muslim community, which comprises an estimated half of Nigeria's population and felt it was the "turn" of a Muslim to hold the presidency. It is possible that some of Nigeria's deterioration reflects defiance by Muslims who do not favor extremism but feel the grand bargain of Nigerian history -- the trading back and forth between Muslim and Christian presidents -- has been broken.
Jonathan has also hurt himself, especially by agreeing to raise prices on gasoline, which ignited nationwide protests. Only days after the government reversed its decision came the violence in Kano, and another crisis. That the Muslim extremist group, Boko Haram immediately claimed responsibility for the Kano carnage heightened the sense of impending doom in Nigeria.
The current U.S. policy posture of non-involvement seems less and less credible. Nigeria is too large, and too economically important to the U.S., for the Obama administration to essentially play the innocent bystander. The U.S. must act.
The question is how? The Obama administration's repeated insistence -- made rhetorically by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and U.S. ambassador Terence P. McCulley - is that Nigerian government must address socio-economic deprivation and the severe wealth inequality among its people. This is surely fair advice but ignores the urgent need for an international plan to hold Nigeria together against the forces of disorder. The question of Nigeria's future is no academic parlor game. The potential violence to the people of Nigeria is now unacceptably high. Worse, the entire West African sub-region, the most densely populated area south of the Sahara, could be dragged down by any implosion of Nigeria.
The need for a new approach to Nigeria is long in coming. As long ago as July 2000, when I met the astute Nigeria-watcher, Karl Maier, in London, I was struck by the imagery of Nigeria on the brink, poised to collapse into unimaginable disorder. In July, Maier published his consequential snapshot of Nigeria, This House Has Fallen, which chronicled the disorder, the corruption, the rising religious and ethnic tensions and the squandered wealthy that continues to bedeveil this country of 160 million people. Without intervention -- without sanity -- Maier foresaw a doomed Nigeria, a wounded giant in inexorable collapse.
No, 12 years later, Nigeria's condition looks unchanged or worse. Outside observers, even of Nigerian descent, will tell you from the safety of London or Toronto or San Francisco that their country of origin has been on the brink before. Perhaps as a result, there's a distinct sense of complacency among them. My wife, who hails from the oil-center of Port Harcourt, has seen Nigeria muddle through before. She and others say that Nigeria is forever on the brink; it's a kind of regular, normal reality. To these diaspora Nigerians, the country is perpetually running out of time, but the country's elite seem to do little beyond planning for the short term when the long term could bring disaster.

What Employees Will Say To Get A Sick Day
By editor
Originally published on Mon October 28, 2013 3:00 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Employers do fire workers who use fake excuses to call in sick, but there are still plenty of examples of this adult version of The Dog Ate My Homework, according to a new study released by the website CareerBuilder. Nearly a third of employees reported they've called in sick when they weren't really. Among the imaginative medical excuses: losing false teeth out of the car window or extreme grumpiness from quitting smoking. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Nevermind the negative comments because other people may experience different things from you. Everyone has different experiences with schools. I cant complain about the school because they really help you out. They really want to see you succeed. (Yes they are REALLY expensive) but its up to you how you choose to spend your money and your time. One thing I will say is get into study groups. (It really helps) Find someone (like myself) from the previous classes to latch on to and ask questions. ( I wish the classes before mine were as nice as my class is) ....... Good luck and congrats again!!!!

Premierleague.com rifles through the annals of the Barclays Premier League to find significant events.
Unbeaten Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal stretched their lead at the top of the table to seven points with victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, unaware that their opponents were about to begin a historic run.
The Gunners hit back from a goal down to win and increase their unbeaten run in the League from the start of the season to 26 matches.
For Chelsea, the fixture turned out to be the last time they lost at Stamford Bridge with League points at stake for a record-breaking 86 matches. The run stretched to 26 October 2008, when they lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool.
Eidur Gudjohnsen had given Chelsea the lead after only 27 seconds when he controlled a left-wing cross from Geremi and fired the ball into the net.
Arsenal equalised in the 15th minute when Patrick Vieira scored his first goal of the season after he raced through a gap to collect Dennis Bergkamp's pass. Five minutes later, the Gunners took the lead when Neil Sullivan misjudged a corner from Gilberto and Edu was on hand to score his second Barclays Premier League goal of the season from close range.
Visiting keeper Jens Lehmann then John Terry before Claude Makelele's free-kick caused a few problems. But the Blues' hopes were dented when Gudjohnsen was sent off for a second bookable offence after he brought down Gilberto.
The Brazilian recovered from the challenge to test Sullivan twice near the end as Arsenal secured their 19th League win of the season.
The result left Chelsea trailing second-placed Manchester United by two points and Arsenal by nine.
"It's not a two-horse race because Chelsea are still in it but at the end of the season this will be a magnificent victory," Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said.
Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri added: "Both teams played well and created chances. Arsenal scored with theirs and Chelsea did not."
Arsenal remained unbeaten for the entire season and were dubbed 'The Invincibles' after a remarkable campaign. Wenger's side took the Barclays Premier League title by 11 points from second-placed Chelsea.
Current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was in charge for 60 matches during that unbeaten run, before leaving the club in September 2007. The Portuguese has still yet to be beaten at home in the Barclays Premier League since returning ahead of the 2013/14 campaign. His own unbeaten home run in the top-flight stands at 73 games, with Chelsea taking on Everton at home on Saturday, 22 February.

Recently NTT data (a big japanese giant) took over Keane to add it to there fleet, which was a billion dollar lottery for Keane. But with poor management, unethical practice and unstructured teams and staff they killed the charm. It reminds me of a saying "Even if a beggar wins a lottery, he will still buy a gold begging bowl. Before you be an employee of Keane I highly recommend you to go to India and work in a substandard company to learn the following: 1. Cheap tactics to allure clients 2. How to do Fraud in white cloths 3. How to mess up things with a smile on your face 4. Politics to stay in the dirty game 5. How to polish a pair shoes/b.... (only of your boss) 6. Bargain with a street vendor(to get cheap veggies) 7. Forget your personal life because they are buying you by paying installments (I mean salary) 8. How not to listen when you are not inserted (Pathetic Management) 9. How to spoil office culture and make your America job a nightmare. You know what the list is endless and I think they are not even worth of my time... But I came out of that company and want to make other companies and people aware...

U2'S Bono Does Impressive Bill Clinton Impersonation at Charitable Forum in NYC
U2's Bono apparently has other talents besides being a world-class singer, songwriter and fund-raising philanthropist. The rock star also can do an uncanny imitation of former U.S. President Bill Clinton. In a video accompanying a New York Post article, the famous frontman is seen showing off his skills on Tuesday in New York City during the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting event to discuss the organization's various charitable initiatives. Clinton was late for the start of the panel, so Bono grabbed a microphone, sat in Bill's empty chair and began impersonating the politician. "When I first met Bono, he walked… Read more

Use E twice to get away from tower into bush, and every enemy is there waiting to jump you. They're on low HP. The tiny AoE from the second jump kills them all.

Warwick with 6 tiamats ults enemy AD carry and the splash procs kills everyone else, then ww chases and q's the carry for the penta!
SDO ida booty
allied TF and Caitlyn. Caitlyn uses her Pitlovers skill shot then fires ult. Ult lands and q makes all low health. TF uses ult and ults to enemies dealing his cone and E passive ks'ing a penta
Low health enemies try to turret dive a low health Jarvan. They kill him, but the Jarvan ult kills all of them via Turret hits. (Honestly, is this one possible? I know I am pusing the line a bit)
While a Galio is taunting everyone on the team, an AP Pantheon channels his ult on everyone then right after the Galio ult ends, an Alistar pulverizes the whole team again and then right after THAT Pantheon's ult's channel ends and then he gets a penta. LOL. Waiting for this to happen someday...

There's a team fight in mid. The entire enemy team ganks Karthus and he dies. The rest of the ally team comes and gets them low on health, and the ally Darius's ult is finally off cooldown. He is about to ult everyone, when a wild Karthus respawns, he's charging his ult... But a n00b Shaco turret dives with his ult and the clone explodes on everyone... -_-

Auto: Flash and focus light are both automatically on when needed. If it's dark, the focus light goes off first, while the camera is trying to focus, and the flash fires when you take a photo.
On: The flash always fires, even if it's daylight. The focus light may or may not go off. Keeping the flash on is useful in backlight situations, when the subject is dark and bright light is coming from behind.
Focus light only: Flash is off, but the camera uses focus light when needed, for example, when it's dark. This is useful when you want to use natural light, and focus quickly.
No Focus light: Focus light is switched off, but the flash is on Auto. This is useful if you don't want to annoy people with the focus light, but still want to use the flash to light your subject.
Off: Both flash and Focus light are off. This is useful in situations where using a flash is forbidden, for example, in art galleries.

Has been a busy few weeks, have not been on the forum much. Thought I would get on and post our Sunday Mothers Day cook. Was a nice weekend, had a snow storm the week before and then we were hitting 30 C (85 F) through out the weekend.
Wifes requested stuffed pok loin, Stuffed 2/4 of it and just rubbed the remainder. Corn on the cob, and some twice backed potatoes as well. It turned out good, and was a great day sitting out side in the sun.

Yakking Around The World
Simon Hughes
Simon and Schuster
3 stars
By David Taylor
09 Oct 2011
Best known today as The Analyst on Channel 5's cricket highlights - a job he previously held when Channel 4 provided live coverage - Simon Hughes was a jobbing medium-fast bowler for Middlesex and Durham between 1980 and 1993. At times he was the only non-international in the Middlesex team. In truth he was never quite good enough to join his esteemed team-mates in the England team, although had there been an organised programme of "A" tours in the early 1980s he would surely have been considered. In 1997 he unexpectedly won the William Hill sports book of the year award for
A Lot of Hard Yakka
, his memoirs of his career in county cricket, and he's since gone on to write books of a technical nature aimed at relative newcomers to the game.
This, as the title suggests, is his account of playing cricket overseas in the English winter. Not being selected for tours, and clearly unwilling to take other jobs betwen seasons (pre-season training at that time probably didn't start until mid-March, and he admits frankly that he always hated that time of year) Hughes would take up a placement wherever he could find one. As a young player - six months before his first-class debut, in fact - he flies to Sri Lanka, where he enjoys limited sucess on the field while finding the country beautiful and the people friendly, if unsophisticated. He subsequently goes on to play in each of the Test match playing countries, with two visits apiece to South Africa and New Zealand. He plays with and against some pretty good players (although Middlesex's 1980-81 tour of Zimbabwe is the only first-class cricket played), and in each venue tells some good stories of the characters encountered on and off the field.
One theme runs throughout the book - Hughes fancies himself as something of a ladies' man. He marks each destination with a scoring system based on the people, the beaches, the standard of cricket and the number of (female) catches. His early attempts at off-field scoring are predictably disastrous, although he later meets with some success on that front. Hughes doesn't come out of it very well though - even with a girlfriend back in England his eye is perpetually roving. At least he's honest about his shortcomings in the relationship stakes, as he is on his limitations as a player.
While I don't think this is as good as "Yakka" - of which I don't have a copy, having been lent it by a colleague - it is a diverting and often amusing read and features what is almost certainly the first, though maybe not the last, mention of Liz Hurley in a cricket book.

Never Average in a Downward market
The popular perception regarding averaging shares is that "Average your shares when the market is going down so that you may sell your shares at higher profits later." But an intelligent investor always stays in the safe-side and keeps himself prepared for the worst possible situation.
A while ago, I had talks with a highly experienced stock market thinker (who wished to remain unnamed). As he exemplified to me, if an investor keeps on buying shares in a downward market in order to average his previous holdings, he might run the risk of not being able to sell his shares at profits if the market continues to go downward. And even if the market goes up, a rise at much higher percentages is required for reaching equilibrium let alone making profits. On the other hand, if an investor averages when the market is on an upward trend, he has every chance to sell his holdings profitably right after averaging and this action also makes him immune to possible subsequent market drops at a high extent.
Following his view, I drew an illustrative table and saw that-
---averaging at a rising market greatly increases an investor's tolerance for decreasing prices whereas,
---averaging in a downward market increases the probability of making losses as the more an investor averages, the more his requirement for market-rise enhances.
For example, as the illustration shows, if an investor averages for the third downward week, his holdings require a 12.5% rise in the market in order to be sold at equilibrium let alone to be sold at profits. But with the same time duration, an investor averaging in an upward market enjoys a cushion till there is an 8.33% drop in the market prices.
Hence, I suggest that in whatever stock you invest, always invest intelligently and avoid averaging in downtrends. But, as the final note, I must remind that the key to reaping the benefits of an upward market lies only on how efficiently you can predict the timing of the trends.

Police: Alcohol, speed were factors in fatal crash
By: WJAC Web Staff
HUNTINGDON COUNTY, Pa. --
Investigators say alcohol and speed were factors in a fatal car crash in Huntingdon County.
Gwen Dell was killed in the crash Wednesday night in Cass Township.
Police said Dell was speeding on Route 655 when she failed to make a left curve near Garlock Road.
Officials said her vehicle crossed the double yellow lines and hit a drainage ditch before striking a utility pole. The vehicle then rolled over several times through a field, and Dell was ejected from the car.

I find I really love the minty chocolate combo, and since I haven't met an Adagio tea I haven't liked (yet), this one should be good! I steeped this one for a few minutes JUST after boiling so some of the chocolate would melt. This is so so good! Before sipping, the cup smelled so sweet and fresh. It's very scrumptious! I think the mint and the chocolate are perfectly balanced! And I always love the black tea base from Adagio. I can't imagine a chocolate/mint blend from Adagio being any better, so Starfevre did a perfect job blending it!

Writes Brian Hearn:
1:17 pm on April 16, 2013 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
One thing I have learned by listening to the never-ending press conferences by the "State" officials is that all of the police, politicians, and rescuers could not possibly have done a finer job and that they are courageous and they are doing every thing they can in this situation. I didn't learn much else. That was the opening line of Governor Patrick and almost every other bureaucrat that spoke at the podium.
Just one more chance at propaganda to try to shift the fact that they failed to protect us, despite the claims that all they needed to do was be able to imprison us without trial, torture us, and kill us without anyone knowing. I can't imagine what things they will think of next when they already have the power to eliminate anyone without a whisper.

It's pretty common knowledge that personal privacy isn't what it used to be. Plenty of folks say privacy as we once knew it is dead in the water. To put it frankly, privacy no longer exists.
Between data mining tracking cookies, invasive EULAs, and shaky governmental legislation, the privacy of your personal information in the digital realm stands on extremely shaky ground. Many organizations, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), have been making an active effort to safeguard user rights and keep user privacy, well…private. Unfortunately, for every organization which pays heed to the sanctity of personal information, there are several which don't really care all that much.
Some are worse than others, of course.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Privacy Report. The Electronic Frontier Foundation took it upon itself to rank several of the best-known, most highly-trafficked websites and organizations in the digital realm on how much they cared about their user's rights. These organizations were rated based on five criteria(via EFF):
- A public commitment to inform users when their data is sought by the government. To earn a star in this category, Internet companies must promise to tell users when their data is being sought by the government unless prohibited by law. This gives users a chance to defend themselves against overreaching government demands for their data.
- Transparency about when and how often companies hand data to the government. This category has two parts. Companies earn a half-star in this category if they publish statistics on how often they provide user data to governments worldwide. Companies also earn a half-star if they make public any policies they have about sharing data with the government, such as guides for law enforcement. (If a company doesn't have law enforcement guidelines at all, though, we don't hold that against them). Companies that publish both statistics and law enforcement guidelines receive a full star.
- Willingness to Fight for users' privacy rights in the courts. To earn recognition in this category, companies must have a public record of resisting overbroad government demands for access to user content in court. Not all companies will be put in the position of having to defend their users before a judge, but those who do deserve special recognition.
- Willingness to Fight for users' privacy in Congress. Internet companies earn a star in this category if they support efforts to modernize electronic privacy laws to defend users in the digital age by joining the Digital Due Process coalition.
The results are…rather telling. Verizon, Skype, Myspace, and FourSquare all come in at dead last, with nary a star between them. These organizations evidently care nothing for their users, nor are they particularly concerned with safeguarding user privacy. Neither Apple nor Microsoft nor AT&T fared much better, with a pathetic one star each. Facebook, meanwhile, had a measly star and a half for fighting in congress and half-heartedly informing its users about government requests.
So…there you have it. Surprising absolutely no one, some of the largest organizations in the world seem to care little about the privacy of their users (if indeed they care at all). It's more than a little disheartening that these organizations control such a large swathe of the means by which we communicate: social networks, smartphones, web browsers…you get the idea.
Believe it or not, this list actually represents a marked improvement over last year's results for all the major online service providers. That's both encouraging and discouraging at once: while it's certainly heartening to see privacy taking more of a front-seat in the considerations of these organizations, it's also a little distressing to think how bad things likely were in 2011. The 2013 report should be coming up very soon – we'll see if they've continued to improve, or if they've sunk back into old habits.
Hopefully, we'll notice the latter.

Traditionally used in eastern Mediterranean, Northern Italian, and Portuguese cuisine, kale is available in many varieties. Deep blue-green lacinato, or dinosaur kale, is a favorite. Kale is delicious served with pork chops, added to potato dishes, or tucked into a roast beef sandwich. In California, kale is grown all year. Surprisingly, we've found that kids particularly like the strong flavor of kale.
Remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves coarsely. Wash and drain well, but do not dry. Heat a large sauté pan, add ¼ cup olive oil and enoungh kale to cover the bottom of the pan, and cook over high heat while stirring to rotate the leaves. Add more kale as the leaves wilt. When all of the kale has been added, season with salt, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally; the cooking time will depend on the maturity of the kale. Young kale will be tender after 4 or 5 minutes. It may be necessary to add a splash of water if the leaves begin to scorch. When the leaves are tender, remove the lid and allow any excess water to cook away. Push the kale to one side of the pan and add an extra drizzle of olive oil, the garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bare spot. Just as you smell the aroma of the garlic, stir to combine it with the kale. Turn off the heat, add a splash of vinegar, and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary. Serve warm or room temperature.
Nutritional information is based on 6 servings, and includes 1/8 teaspoon of added salt per serving.
