How Microsoft Gets a Boost, Thanks to Apple
Updated from 9:16 a.m. to include additional analysis about Apple's software revenue in the fifth paragraph.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- As new Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella starts to make his mark on the Redmond, WA.-based company, he's getting a boost from an old friend and enemy: Apple (AAPL).
Since details leaked that Nadella, who took over from Steve Ballmer earlier this year, would announce Microsoft Office will come to Apple's iPad next week, investors have been rewarding Microsoft, crossing $40 for the first time in a long time. That marks a stark contrast from Ballmer, who had been resistant to putting Microsoft's enterprise software and one of its primary revenue drivers, on Apple's tablet.
It's expected that Microsoft will make the announcement, allowing iPad users to use Office with an Office 365 subscription.ake software and services a more important part of its business, due to the notion software and services companies trade at higher earnings multiples than traditional original equipment manufacturers. By taking it's standard 30% cut of all software purchase, Apple could boost its iTunes/Software/Services revenue drastically with Office being made available on the iPad. Last quarter, Apple's iTunes/Software/Services segment generated $4.397 billion in sales, up 19% year over year. Shares of Microsoft were fractionally higher in Friday trading, gaining 0.02% to $40.34, while Apple shares tacked on 0.17% to $529.61.

Opportunistic Infections: Treatment
Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit
Updated April 5, 2007
Case 2: A 40-Year-Old with Fever and Respiratory Symptoms
A 40-year-old woman presents for evaluation of fever and respiratory symptoms. She was diagnosed with HIV infection 8 years ago and has intermittently received care for her HIV disease. She was last seen 6 weeks ago and had a CD4 count of 135 cells/mm3 and an HIV RNA of 53,000 copies/ml. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) was prescribed at that time, and she was scheduled to follow-up 1 week later to discuss starting antiretroviral therapy. She did not return for the follow-up appointment and she now presents with a 1-2 week history of fever, fatigue, non-productive cough, and dyspnea on exertion. She admits that she did not take any of the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Her examination shows a respiratory rate of 20. Room air resting O2 saturation was 91%, and her arterial blood gas shows a pH of 7.48, a CO2 of 29 mm Hg, and a pO2 of 68 mm Hg. The chest radiograph shows bilateral opacities with an increase in interstitial markings (Figure 1 and Figure 2). She has no known drug allergies.
Which one of the following statements is most likely TRUE?

A character tries to enter a magic portal, often at high speed, only to discover that it is no longer there. Maybe the magic has been sealed or the portal cannot be opened in the presence of Muggles, i.e. the character can't show it to his family or friends. Maybe the portal is an Empathic Weapon that lets you through only when it's in the mood. Or maybe it technically does work, but the other end of the portal got moved right up against solid rock. Whichever reason, the Portal Slam is normally a sign that the fantasy world the portal gave access to is irrevocably inaccessible. This is a common method employed at the end of a fantasy/science fiction series to bring things back down to normal. If the character manages to get back to the world by alternate means, he'll usually discover that the world has drastically changed for the worse with black magic brewing. Less commonly, the Portal Slam is used near the beginning of the story, as the protagonists figure out how to work the portal by trial and error.

Frontline Cancer: A fight for the ages
No one dismisses the health threat of cancer. The disease, in its myriad forms (hundreds and counting), kills almost 575,000 Americans annually, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And yet sometimes, I think, the enormity of cancer's threat is not fully realized.
Heart disease is currently the nation's No. 1 killer: Almost 600,000 American deaths annually. But drawn on a graph, the lines representing the mortality rates of cancer and heart disease are converging. As George Johnson recently noted in his excellent
New York Times
essay titled "Why Everyone Seems to Have Cancer," cancer is on the verge of becoming the No. 1 cause of death.
In San Diego, that's already happened.
To be sure, there have been distinct and significant advances in the treatment and prevention of both killers.
It's just that there have been comparatively more in the case of heart disease. Profound improvements in lifestyles and behavior (diet, exercise, no smoking), for example, combined with new drugs, devices and surgeries mean the average American today is much less likely to die of heart disease than just a generation ago.
The same cannot be said of cancer. Progress has been decidedly more gradual. Only a handful of cancers, primarily those of childhood, have been dramatically tamed. All human diseases are complicated, but none more so than cancer. Confounding this fact even further, cancer is a disease of aging — and of living.
We are all in a constant state of flux, with cells continuously dividing and copying DNA to produce replacement cells, over and over and over throughout our lives. Errors or mutations inevitably occur. They are, as Johnson notes, "the engines of evolution." Sometimes these mutations are benign and transient. Sometimes, they are beneficial and change a species for the better. Sometimes, they produce cancer.
Our bodies have evolved marvelous ways to identify and fix most of these glitches, but not all. And as we age, mutations accumulate and some consequently result in cancer. Indeed, as Trey Ideker, Ph.D., leader of the cancer genomes and networks program at Moores Cancer Center, and colleagues recently noted in published research: Cancer is a kind of accelerated aging. Tumor cells divide and grow with rapid abandon, wreaking havoc and eventually overwhelming our aging and increasingly less robust system of defenses.
Live long enough, it's said, and everyone dies of cancer.
The war against cancer is a slog. Understanding its mysteries, distinct for each type in each patient, is hard work. It demands novel and evolving ways of thinking and creative, changeable approaches in science.
One example can be seen in the on-going work at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM), an unprecedented collaboration of five leading scientific institutions on the Mesa: La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, The Scripps Research Institute and UC San Diego (of which Moores Cancer Center is part).
The mission of SCRM is to advance stem cell research. It does so through two different types of teamwork that, outside of San Diego, are often unheard of, but are critical to catalyze major advances in cancer research and care.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer ZTE still hasn't made a dent in the US market in any significant way, but it did turn heads with the ZMAX for T-Mobile, combining a big 5.7-inch screen and a spacious battery with a low price tag. The new Grand X Max, coming to budget carrier Cricket on October 10th, is even bigger and cheaper. This massive 6-inch phone will pack a beefy 3200mAh battery, all for just $199.99 without a contract.
It looks like Republic Wireless is going for the Motorola hat trick: in addition to last year's flagship Moto X and mid-range Moto G, the American hybrid MVNO is now planning on selling the low-end Moto E to its customers. According to this post on the official Republic blog, the carrier's customized version of the Moto E will go on sale next month for $99, $30 cheaper than the retail GSM model.
People seem to love gigantic screens on their phones - just ask Samsung (or Apple). And of course, plenty of customers want phones that are cheap, or at least cheaper than the flagships. And the one thing that everyone wants is longer battery life. ZTE and T-Mobile are going to try to please the intersection of these market segments with the ZMAX, a big phone with a big battery and (impressively) a small price tag.
The dawn of Google's Android One program is fast approaching, with an official announcement for the Indian market expected tomorrow. We've already seen the Android One phone from manufacturer Spice make a brief appearance, and the Twitter account for Amazon.in (the retailer's Indian branch) has teased an upcoming Micromax model. You can see the tweet below:
Log on to Amazon.in at 3:30 pm on the 15th. Spread the word. pic.twitter.com/7BvjM8XLgy
— Amazon.in (@amazonIN) September 14, 2014
Presumably the 3:30 PM timeframe refers to India Standard Time, which would be 6 AM Eastern in the United States.
Not everything in the Android world is super-high-end, and if your carrier is building a brand on being cheaper than the other guys, perhaps having a few cheap phones around isn't a bad idea. Say hello to the Samsung Galaxy Avant, the latest addition to T-Mobile's hardware lineup. The internal specs won't blow anyone away, but with an off-contract price of just $216 (or $9 a month for two years on Jump), they don't need to.
Alongside the launch of the brand new super-budget Moto E, Motorola also announced an improved variant of its marginally more expensive Moto G. The updated version is now equipped with an LTE radio and an SD card slot. Naturally, the price of the LTE model is also a bit higher at $219, which is still a bargain. Oh yeah, now it also comes in white!
This is certainly a boon to those seeking a low-cost device, but don't want to settle on 3G speeds.
The Archos name isn't unheard of around these parts, but while the company has introduced more than a handful of affordable tablets into the market, it isn't the first brand to come to mind when thinking of smartphones. It has produced some before, but they were nothing particularly exciting. Now the company will up its game by rolling out not one but two 4G LTE-capable smartphones at CES next week - the largely identical-looking 45 and 50 Helium.
BLU is an up-and-coming smartphone manufacturer offering budget-friendly devices that have a knack for also being halfway decent. Today they've announced a new line of smartphones that look situated to continue this trend. The DASH series won't blow anyone's minds, but these highly affordable, and dare I say - adorable, handsets could make for a decent way to introduce a newcomer to the world of smartphones.
The three phones making up the DASH series include the DASH Jr., the DASH MUSIC 4.0, and the DASH MUSIC 5.0.
I just recently made the jump to an HTC One, but my last two phones were real stinkers. It's with this bad taste in my mouth that I am glad to see things improving on the budget end of things. US Cellular is debuting the ZTE Imperial, a Android 4.1 handset that doesn't make me hold my nose while reading its spec sheet. It comes with a 1.2 GHz dal-core processor, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and a front-facing camera for video chatting.

Countryside Montessori is grooming the next set of community leaders this summer through the school's summer at Mallard Creek program.
The program, in its 13th year, blends camp with a mix of dedicated and positive role models. They work closely with campers and teach the value of working together, having fun and being a great leader.
Leaders in Training was designed to build self-esteem and instill core values such as respect, responsibility, caring, environmental awareness, sportsmanship and set campers up to be future school leaders.
Open to the public and designed for rising fifth-graders through rising seniors, the Leaders in Training participants serve as mentors, teachers and big brothers and sisters for the younger campers.
The Leaders in Training participants assist the senior camp counselors in activities ranging from field trips, games, sports, arts, crafts, team building, archery and other activities.
On Fridays, the Leaders in Training are rewarded with day field trips for activities including horseback riding, swimming, laser tag, movies and hiking.
"They can have their own special day by going on field trips or simply relaxing after a long week's work by just hanging out with their friends," said Mustang Athletic Director Nick Nichols.
Everyone who completes two or more weeks as a junior counselor is eligible for a weeklong leadership conference and getaway to the Outer Banks.
Camp A-Don-Dee, the Cherokee word for spirit, is broken into three separate age-based extensions so campers can learn and work with people in their age range. Camp Little Spirit is for rising first- and second-graders, Camp Free Spirit is for rising third- and fourth-graders and the Leaders in Training Program is for fifth-graders and older.
The Mustangs are building a school tradition and are developing the leaders of tomorrow through their growing school and leadership building programs.

Definitions for puto
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word puto
Puto is a song by the Mexican band Molotov from their album ¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?. The word puto literally translates as "man-whore", which is often used as a derogatory term for gay males in Mexican Spanish, similar to the American slang word faggot. It is also used to mean "bastard". However the term is also used to describe an unmanly act such as cowardice. The song itself follows the latter connotation in which the group is mocking those who do not stand up for themselves. The band faced criticism when the song was interpreted as a slur against homosexuals. As a result, the group's first tour in Germany was met with crowds of angry gay and lesbian protestors. The public was only informed of the song's true meaning much later. In defense of the band and their use of the word "puto", producer Gustavo Santaolalla told an interviewer from the Spanish language rock and roll magazine Retila: A remix version of the song exists on their second album Molomix.

Ponzi Scheme Database May Shock You
TheStreet) -- The first decade of the 21st century goes down as the "golden age" for
Ponzi schemes.
In the aftermath of Bernard Madoff's epic 20-year scheme to defraud investors -- which Ponzitracker founder Jordan Maglich estimates cost investors $17 billion -- most potential victims know that a Ponzi scheme promises investment results that far exceed the returns one can expect form a "normal" investment. Ponzi schemes ultimately collapse when the person committing the fraud runs out of new investment money to pay to previous investors.
Maglich has developed and made public a Ponzi database, which he calls "a comprehensive list" of all Ponzi Schemes during the "Madoff era," including over 500 cases of fraud.
The database is sorted by year, and then by declining estimates of losses to investors. There's a column with links to articles or announcements by government authorities of the arrest or discovery for almost every listed scheme, with another column including links to to articles or announcements describing the fraudsters' prison sentences.
To use one of the links, first click the dollar amount in the "Losses/$ at Issue" column. A small box will appear. To the right of the word "Exclude," at the top of that box, click the little table icon, which will bring up another box that includes all the data, including the links that you can copy.
The data on Ponzi schemes included in the database was complied by Maglich, with a major contribution from Chris Marquet, who runs the FraudTalk blog. The data visualization was prepared by Dynamic Securities Analytics.
Here are the four Ponzi schemes in the database that led to estimated investor losses of over $1 billion.
- Madoff, of course, takes the top Ponzi prize. Not only did his scheme run the longest, it cost investors the most. And JPMorgan Chase (JPM), whose main banking subsidiary was Madoff's bank, really took it on the chin, eventually entering into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice, and agreeing to a total of $2.6 billion in fines on Jan. 7. The fines were in part covered by litigation reserves the bank had previously set aside, but they still lowered the bank's fourth-quarter after-tax earnings by $850 million. Madoff plead guilty, refused to cooperate with prosecutors or with efforts to recovery money for his victims, and is serving a 150-year term in federal prison.
- Next is Allen Standord, who perpetuated a scheme leading to an estimated $7 billion in losses to investors, on deposits made in Stanford International Bank in Antigua. These deposits paid above-market interest rates, while a great portion of the money was used by Stanford to fund other investment schemes, falsifying the bank's records and customer account records. Stanford is serving a 110-year federal prison term.
- Thomas Petters ran a Ponzi scheme leading to an estimated $3.65 billion in losses to investors. Petters and associates attracted money from investors and lenders by falsifying retail sales records and bank statements. The money was supposed to be used to buy merchandise from suppliers and sell it for a profit to retailers, but that business never occurred. New money was used to pay off previous investors, with Petters and associates creaming off the top to fund other schemes and what court documents called "lavish" lifestyles. Petters is serving a 50-year federal prison term.
- Scott Rothstein ran a Ponzi scheme for five years, leading to an estimated $1.2 billion in losses to investors, as described in detail in Why 'Sophisticated' Investors Fall for Ponzi Schemes. Rothstein is cooperating with federal prosecutors who are keeping his whereabouts secret. He is serving a 50-year prison term, which prosecutors hope to have reduced in light of his cooperation. To banks that provided services to Rothstein's defunct law firm paid very heavy fines for not reporting his suspicious activity, which included large numbers of massive checking account overdraws. TD Bank (TD) "ultimately paid over $600 million in restitution to investors impacted by Rothstein's Ponzi scheme," the Securities and Exchange Commission said. Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust of Coral Gables, Fla., also did business with Rothstein's firm, and agreed in February 2012 to pay $10 million to a group of Rothstein investors, and in August 2012 agreed to pay $15 million to the trustee for the bankrupt law firm.

Aug. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Drogarias Pacheco SA agreed to buy Drogaria Sao Paulo SA to create Brazil's largest drugstore chain with annual revenue of about $2.8 billion.
The two companies will merge into Drogarias DPSP SA, according to a statement today. Grupo Barata, owner of Pacheco, will have more than 50 percent of a new company, according to a person familiar with the deal. Drogaria DPSP is worth 5 billion reais ($3.13 billion), said the person, who asked to stay anonymous because he isn't authorized to speak publicly.
The two drugstores said they'll keep operating under two brands. Drogaria DPSP starts with 691 stores and combined gross revenue of 4.4 billion reais in the 12 months to June, according to the statement.
DPSP management will be shared by Pacheco's Grupo Barata and Grupo Carvalho, owner of Drogaria Sao Paulo, according to the statement. Samuel Barata is to become chairman while Drogaria Sao Paulo Chief Executive Officer Gilberto Martins Ferreira will serve as CEO.
Patria Investimentos and law firm Machado, Meyer, Sendacz, Opice assisted Drogaria Sao Paulo while Banco Espirito Santo and Pinheiro Neto advised Drogaria Pacheco in the deal.
An external press official working for both companies declined to comment the deal when contacted by Bloomberg.

For African countries to continue to amass success stories towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals by the 2015 target date, the international community must deliver on commitments, building upon positive developments and promising prospects for economic growth, speakers said during the General Assembly's joint debate today on the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the decade to roll back malaria in developing countries, particularly on the continent.
Some 30 speakers shared their views, with many delegates from African countries emphasizing national development gains and with those from other regions highlighting partnership efforts with Africa, from building highways and pipelines to sowing investments in health and trade. Calls for strengthened support and further cooperation in areas such as food security, fighting diseases and conflict prevention echoed throughout the debate.
"Africa had indeed witnessed a new era of momentum and the foundation for the renaissance of Africa is being laid," said Ethiopia's representative, speaking on behalf of the African Group. Since its 2001 launch, NEPAD had matured into the African Union's flagship development programme, with advances in priority areas including infrastructure, agriculture and health that had promoted stronger African ownership through creative and effective partnerships.
To achieve more, the global situation must improve, he said. Pointing to unmet commitments resulting in the "disappointing" lack of sufficient progress on the Millennium Development Goals, he called on the international community to redouble efforts to ensure challenges were met.

I am befuddled each time I read a commentary tracking our
war in Iraq to 2003. I vividly remember January 1991 when the U.S. led a
massive offensive against Iraq. The intense destruction of facilities such as
airports – and hospitals, schools and water purification plants – was enhanced
by the U.S./U.N. sanctions prohibiting trade with Iraq. This resulted in the
Iraqi people being denied the means to rebuild hospitals and water treatment
facilities, obtain necessary medications, and so many other life-saving items.

One of the ways criminals get guns is to have someone else,
who is able to legally own a gun, purchase for them. This is called "straw
purchasing." In a 5-4 decision, the court just concluded that this is NOT
LEGAL: "one legal gun owner may not acquire a firearm on behalf of another." The
case is known as: Abramski v. United States.
This is one success in the attempt to reduce the number of
guns used for criminal purposes. It is one step toward creating stricter
controls on gun ownership.

Would You Eat This Cheese?
by Food 17 Reactions 0 Shares Print
While at this year's Fancy Foods Show, PartySugar and I stumbled upon this cheese, which had a frightening, Frankensteinian green color. After some serious coaxing by the cheese vendor, I decided to go for it. The cheese, which didn't taste nearly as scary as it looked, was like a pistachio-flavored cheesecake.

It wouldn't be my first choice if other appealing varieties were displayed around it. I might try it once educated about it.

I would try because of the color. And its cheese, it couldn't suck that much.

I don't know, the green color turns me off a little bit. But I LOVE cheesecake! Maybe if I close my eyes and shove some in my mouth :)

Jude-C 5 years
I'd try it, but my stomach and cheese don't get along well, so probably just a nibble.

No, but not for the reason that it looks gross. I just really don't like pistachio flavoring in things other than pistachios.
sharshar 5 years
Pistachio? Of course!
tlsgirl 5 years
I will definitely try anything once, and I've eaten some cheeses that literally smelled like rotting garbage but tasted awesome. Honestly though, I like a more savory, stinky cheese rather than something sweet-ish and mild, which is how this sounds.
doogirl 5 years
I'd try it, pistachio and cheesecake are two of my favorite flavors! And I like cheese!
cupcake_ 5 years
It doesn't look very appetizing so I'm not sure if I'd want to eat it.
wackdoodle 5 years
Yes no problem with that. I eat really nasty looking Blue cheese from France and Funky hard cheese from German and of course the British cheddars including the dark brown ones made with stout or chocolate. Green I have no problem with - bright blue I'd have difficulty. Hate blue M&Ms and any blue candy cause it's always nasty raspberry flavor. I have a mental block on naturally bright blue foods.

according to alldata, no the timing belt does not have to be removed. but you are right there and if you are doing the pump, it may be advised to replace the belt as the labor is not much more to perform this service.
was this reccomended to you??

A map showing the position of Lebanon
Lebanon is the only Arab state that is not officially Muslim and has the highest proportion of Christians in its population of any country in the Middle East: around 32%. But this figure reflects a major decline from the 1970s, when Christians comprised a slight majority; emigration prompted by several wars and the small size of Christian families has caused their numbers to fall significantly.
Lebanon is one of the most complex countries in the Middle East, its population composed of a mixture of Christian communities, Sunni Muslims, Twelver Shi'a Muslims, Druze and others. The civil war of 1975-1990 has left an ongoing legacy of struggle for political power along sectarian lines.
The constitution establishes a balance of power among the major religious groups, which is intended to prevent any one group from becoming dominant: the president, prime minister, and speaker of parliament must be Maronite Christian, Sunni Muslim, and Shia Muslim, respectively; Christians and Muslims must be represented equally in parliament, the cabinet, and high-level civil service positions. But the Christian influence is weakening as Islam gains strength.
Some religious groups, including unregistered Protestant ones, are not officially recognised and consequently do not qualify for certain government positions. But they are allowed to practise their faith freely.
Despite the tensions between the different groups, religious freedom is largely upheld. Unlike in other countries in the Middle East, there are no legal restrictions on evangelism and people are free to change their religion on their identity cards and official registry documents. It is nevertheless very costly for a Muslim to convert to Christianity.
Lebanon remains a place of refuge for those fleeing religious persecution. Christians from Iraq, Egypt, Sudan and more recently Syria have gone to the country to escape discrimination and violence in their homeland.
The conflict in Syria has been spilling over into Lebanon, inflaming underlying sectarian tensions. Fighters from the Lebanon-based Shiite militant group Hezbollah have helped shore up Syrian President Assad's forces, while The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), an al-Qaeda-linked militant group, has been launching attacks in Lebanon.

BioScrip Reports 2011 Fourth Quarter And Year-End Financial Results
BioScrip, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOS) today announced 2011 fourth quarter and year-end financial results. Fourth quarter revenue was $483.3 million and net income was $6.7 million, or $0.12 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $19.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenue was $1.8 billion and net income was $7.9 million, or $0.14 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $73.5 million.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
- Revenue increased $32.9 million or 7.3% compared to prior year;
- Gross profit was $81.8 million or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $72.6 million or 16.1% of revenue in the prior year;

"We are pleased with our fourth quarter results driven by solid organic growth and significant momentum in our key businesses. Infusion revenue was strong on both a sequential and year-over-year basis driven by the depth of our managed care contracts, growing patient census, and the focused and productive efforts of our sales team and regional management who continue to focus on our targeted therapies," said Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip.
"With the pending sale of our community specialty pharmacies and centralized specialty and mail service pharmacy businesses, we are positioning BioScrip as a leaner company focused on those areas where we have key strengths, in -market awareness and offer distinct competitive advantages. This includes leveraging our geographic reach, building upon our reputation for clinical excellence, deepening our relationships with national and local managed care customers and strategically expanding our national infusion service footprint both organically and through tuck-in acquisitions. As we move through 2012, we will continue to take action to further rationalize corporate overhead, improve operating performance and profitability, and maximize overall operating cash flow generation," concluded Smith.Results of Operations Fourth Quarter 2011 versus Fourth Quarter 2010 Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $483.3 million, compared to $450.4 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $32.9 million or 7.3%.

Few questions about Alistair and I'd appreciate if anyone can offer their wisdom.
Firstly, he seems very slow at farming gold, at least for the early and mid game. After I get Tear of the Goddess in the early game, my plan was to get Innervating Locket, however it takes a **** long time to farm up 2650 gold.
I was wondering if, directly after Tear of the Goddess (which does wonders for his mana pool), I should just get some 'cheaper' items, around 1000 gold ?
Chalice of Harmony?
Fiendish Codex?
And yes, I've read the guides, and most of them suggest expensive items. Unless I'm missing out on how Alistair can be an uber farmer (take out 6 towers in a row ? Sunfire Cape?) I'd like some cheaper item alternatives.
And the other thing is - how to play him ? The tanking role is obvious, but I was also wondering about how an AP role for Alistair would work out - i.e. stack on AP to boost his heals and headbutts.
Also what do u think of Frozen Mallet on this guy.
Or a cooldown reduction item build.
Malak al Maut
Aegis, Boots, Locket or Whatever HP item fits the scenario, Guardian Angel, and Elixer of Fortitude. Go Tank.
DPS Stacked? Sunfire instead of Locket
AP Stacket? Merc Boots + Aegis should have you covered
Getting Focused? Rush Angel.
Spec heavy into defense, @ lvl 30 it should be:
Defense: 21, Utility: 9. Take advantage of the fact you're a big bull with more HP than most of the people thrown against you. Make sure the carry/caster laning with you gets fed.
By the time you get Locket, you won't need Tear. In my experience, at least, Tear has been entirely unnecessary.
You should get a reasonable amount of gold from assists. But yes, it is a slow process.
Don't try AP Alistar. Not much benefit to his heals. Headbutts are... well, they can be used for damage, but really, you're much better off just walking into the enemy team, then using headbutts to knock someone back into your team. The damage won't make much of a difference.
If you want to farm easier get a sheen first and max out roar, that way you can run in and killshot creeps easily as well as healing from any harassment. It also provides some of the extra mana tear would give you.
I tend to get chalice first, that way he generally always has some mana for at least 1 spell and it mitigates spell harassment. Tear is nice but it indeed is rendered useless by the items you're likely to get later.
Frozen mallet is nice for chasing but takes a while to build, you're usually doing teamfights by the time you get it so it's usefulness is somewhat limited compared to other hp items.
If you're super desperate for gold get some gold per 10 runes, the talent, and smite some creeps in your lane. Generally though Alistar is pretty hard to kill, so just get good at running in and last shotting creeps and gold shouldn't be a huge problem.
yup let the creeps do the damage. just sit back and conserve your energy for spamming heal as it throws off the enemies last shots on your creeps as well as keeping them alive to atk the other creeps. then just run in and last shot them. after you get used to his minimal dmg you will find it easier to judge when to last shot
Jason Only
Smite can help, if you are starved for gold.
Heart of Gold is an inexpensive item that works quite well with Alistair. It's my second choice after Chalice. Then I start working on the expensive stuff.
Also, call the carries to take down Dragon. You tank, they spank. Everyone profits.
I say Morrigan/Alistair mia in vent.
And when I talk about Dragon Age I say Morgana instead of Morrigan.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her version of Kentucky Fried Popcorn Chicken. With 11 herbs and spices for
flavor, and flour for coating, generous-sized chicken nuggets are fried in peanut oil to make a variation of KFCs Popcorn Chicken.

Grab video code:
Hi! I'm Betty, welcome to Betty's Kitchen. Today, we're making Kentucky Fried Popcorn Chicken like I promised. Yesterday, we did a little field trip. We went to Corbin, Kentucky which had the home of KFC, well the home of the original KFC which was called Sanders Café after Colonel Harland Sanders, and he called his chicken Kentucky Fried Chicken. In recent years, it's been known as KFC and you don't hardly even think of the Kentucky and the fried part anymore. You just think that the type of chicken you're getting is KFC. But it did begin in a small café in Corbin, Kentucky and I thought I would show you that, and this T shirt shows you that I was there. And also, I brought back the amount of popcorn chicken that I did not eat which was this much. It's really not my thing too much to eat in that fashion and I'll tell you why. If you cut into a piece of this popcorn chicken, you'll see that there's very little chicken and there's a lot of coating. And that's not bad, it's just that that coating soaks up a lot of grease and you'll find that you're eating really a lot of grease in a box like this. KFC in anyway is just my favorite taste. It dictates that I would like to have less grease in my chicken. So we're going to make it with less grease.
Now, the traditional Kentucky Fried Chicken was made using a pressurized fryer, that was on of the big promotional factors, I think, at the time. And also, it was made with 11 secret herbs and spices and the recipe was locked away in a vault and remains there. Maybe it has been moved one or two times. But that's the story. So you're wondering, what are these 11 special herbs and spices? I have read a little bit about the herbs and spices and I am just using my own judgment in some cases here. But I'm going to give you a blend of spices which involved 11 of them and you can take it or leave it. In fact, after the colonel died, the recipe supposedly was changed so that the flavorings were only salt, pepper and monosodium glutamate. These have been performed on the chicken and supposedly, the results give those three flavorings. I'm not saying that that's it.
I'm going to take what I have out here. I'm not going to take the time to pour them in my little dish but I'll take care of that in just a minute. I have one tablespoon of paprika, ½ tablespoon of onion salt, and then I have ½ teaspoon of all the rest. Whatever I have out here might not be that size of measuring container, but ½ teaspoon of celery salt, ½ teaspoon of rubbed sage, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of allspice, ½ teaspoon of oregano, ½ teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, ½ teaspoon of sweet basil and ½ teaspoon marjoram.
So I'll take care of collecting all of these and blending them altogether. The chicken that I'm going to use, you'll se right here, I have some nice chicken tenders. These are just chicken strips that you can buy at your grocery usually in this form, and that just makes it easier for me because I'm making popcorn chicken. Now, I will have more chicken and less coating. So I'll probably cut something like that. That's one piece and then maybe the next piece might be like this and then like this, and just continue on. So let me take care of the work that I need to do. I need to get this into popcorn pieces which are going to be large popcorn pieces which are going to be large popcorn pieces. I need to get all my spices mixed together and then I'll see to that.
I'm coming over here to the stove and I have an iron skillet. I'm going to pour in some peanut oil. So I have a quarter of a cup here and I'm just looking at it because I mainly do this by eye sight. I usually would put a little more than that but this is all I have there. That will be fine. And I got to cover the bottom. And then we'll try this on and turn down to low. I would normally make it medium or medium high, but since I've got a little talking to do over here before I get to that, I don't want to get burned so I'm getting that heated up slowly.
Over here, you could see I've got the chicken into chunks that will serve as popcorn chicken. I have mixed around all of the herbs and spices. They should be pretty homogenous. And then I have flour for coating. I just put one cup of flour into a zip lock bag and I'll leave it open at the top because I'll be putting pieces in here to shake. Now as far as coating this, I have two pounds of chicken there and you'll just take what you think will satisfy you in terms of the spiciness. If you want it kind of mild, then just like half of it and I think that's probably good. If you want it super spicy, then you could use all of it. But make sure that gets to all of the chicken, and that's why—when I had to cook the chicken, the section is set, that one will stay out. But anyway, the rest of these are getting coated with the herbs and spices and then we will just put a bunch at a time into our bag and then I'll shake this and come over here. Now, I don't think that this is really hot yet so let me go away for a minute, let this get hot and then we'll put those in.
We'll take just a little bit of flour and see if it sizzles in the skillet like this, then you'll know your skillet is ready for you to put the chicken in. So bring it up a couple of paces, as many as you want, shake them off and into the bag and then place them individually and it should sizzle like that. So I'm going to continue to do this. I have two pounds worth of chicken. I like to get a single layer along the bottom, and also to be able to turn it over. And then when that happens, I'll take it to the oven to let it finish off. This will not take long because it's not a full chicken breast like I usually make, but these will cook up really fast. So if I had to do them in two sessions, it really wouldn't be that long or you could use two skillets.
But you can see, this is kind of the way it goes and I can see already that some of those could be turned over. And I've gotten down to the bottom of those so let me grab a fork here and we'll just do a little testing. You would see the bottom, once it is brown, then turn it over, turn your heat down to low so they don't blacken, we don't want that. And actually, you don't really have to go to the oven with these. You can do these totally on the top of the stove and they will brown up. I think that's what I'll do with these. I have the oven prepared and ready at 400, so if you have really big pieces, it's going to take them awhile to cook through, then do that. Otherwise, just cook both sides until they're brown, make sure to cut into them with a knife that you see white meat, nothing pink, and they will be done and ready to take out. So I'm going to come back and show you the finished product in a minute.
I did two skillet full of these popcorn chicken and I'm just finishing up putting this on the plate. You know, I just have it drained on a paper towel because you don't want any of that oil to be served that is unnecessary. So we have them done as healthily as possible for fried food. But I did fry them completely, I did not put them in the oven, they're not oven baked, they are actually skillet fried. And if you want to see one of them inside, it's mainly chicken. It's not all crust. But I did have my husband test one out, he ate one and said that the flavoring balance was just right. For the two pounds that I had, the half of all that I told you to put in was just right so can go over that. If you want it hotter, then you can put more in. If you want something really mild, put less in. But I think that you're going to like this dish.

Academy @ LACMA
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences continues its ongoing partnership with the Los Angeles County of Museum of Art with regular screenings in LACMA's Bing Theater, including our Tuesday matinee series.
In conjunction with the exhibition Haunted Screens: German Cinema in the 1920s, Friday nights in November has the Academy presenting double features spotlighting the work of director Edgar G. Ulmer, who first made his mark as a designer and director in German cinema before moving to Hollywood to work as a director in a remarkable variety of genres. Our three Ulmer evenings include his classic low-budget noir Detour, the Yiddish-language romance The Light Ahead, and the chilling Karloff-Lugosi team-up The Black Cat.
For the Saturday-night series, "The Perfect Match: Hollywood Costume Collaborations" presents two double-feature screenings spotlighting contemporary partnerships between directors and costume designers, along with conversations moderated by Hollywood Costume curator Deborah Nadoolman Landis. Oscar-winning costume designer Mark Bridges joins one of the double features showing the work of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson—the unsettling romantic comedy Punch-Drunk Love and the epic There Will Be Blood. Plus, Jeffrey Kurland joins an evening featuring two of the 15 films he designed for Woody Allen, their collaboration represented by Kurland's Oscar-nominated period designs for Bullets over Broadway and the contemporary looks of Allen's multi–Oscar winner Hannah and Her Sisters.
For three Monday nights, the Academy hosts events spotlighting the art of the costume designer. "The Costume of Silent Drama: Mary Pickford and Little Annie Rooney" feature a world-premiere restoration of one of the silent star's beloved films. "Defining Character: The Art of the Costume Designer" presents top contemporary costume designers in person to discuss their own work and as well as the designers that have inspired them. Film historian Serge Bromberg hosts "The Costume of Silent Comedy: Charlie Chaplin and the Tramp Restored," a one-of-a-kind show full of stories, behind-the-scenes footage, restoration samples, and never-before-exhibited documents to explore the evolution of one cinema's most iconic figures.
Academy @ LACMA events are held at the Bing Theater at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, located at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90036.

6 months, still having a really hard time.
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 06-11-2013 - 5:52pm
I found out last September that my husband had been sleeping with a girl he works with. He admitted it to me in a fight, and I left. We were apart for 3 months almost and when I went back to the town we were living in to sign divorce papers and work out details with him, we reunited. He ended things with the girl, and moved back home to show me he was dedicated to fixing it. I can't get her out of my head. I work nights and every time I leave I wonder if he's Home alone...she has contacted me befora and knew intimate details about our relationship, because he used to vent to her about things. I know he had had no contact with her. He is trying, and I can see that. We found out about three weeks abhorring that we are expecting our first baby...both of us are very excited. for the most part, everything is perfect. He's affectionate again and caring. I feel so guilty becthink all I think about is her. She has taken over my head. He was my best friend for years before we got married, and I finally have the relationship I always wanted with him. I need someone who's been there and who can give me some advice on how to get myself past this. I don't want to be stuck on it forever, especially if we're having a child. I'm just still so angry.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It's a long and difficult road you have ahead of you. There is no "quick way" to get over it and move forward (at least in my experience). I highly suggest you see a counselor/therapist/shrink/minister/etc - either by yourself or as a couple (or both) - to discuss your feelings and figure out a good way for you to move forward. The feelings of anger, betrayal, sadness, and everything else may take years to totally go away, but they will lessen with time. Congrats on your new bundle and I wish you nothing but the best.

You're being much too hard on yourself. You have a complicated situation which includes infidelity that was not "just" a one-night stand, although if it was it's still infidelity. You said you're now expecting and had reconciled and that he is "trying". You aren't certain yet if he's established real boundaries, unless he has and you know what those boundaries are, it'll be difficult to trust again. If you did not go to counseling together, it can really help, even now, esp. now that there's a baby on the way. Trust is a real bugaboo to restore, and it's his job, not yours. Knowing your spouse has cheated on you is devastating and six months is not much time - even if they are trying, you don't snap your fingers and poof, all gone, all forgotten, all forgiven. If all you can think about is HER, all the more reason to go for some counseling - they've heard it all, incl. obsessing about the other woman. But stop feeling guilty about anything, you didn't drive things off into the ditch. If your marriage already had problems, you both had a role in that. But either way, stop feeling guilty or anything close to that. Get some help to make sure he knows how to NOT repeat what he did and to find out what to do for YOU to move forward with your life, whatever that ends up meaning for you personally. There's not just one possible outcome here and six months is nothing, you're still bleeding.

My husband had an affair 4 years ago, we stayed together . I'm still angry and have never been able to get her out of my head. I stayed with him for selfish reasons. I'm almost 60 years old. Our daughter is getting married soon and planning a family. I don't want someone else holding my grandchildren or having to share our children on holidays. Sounds petty I know. I hope you can be happy, having your first baby may really help. I seem to be more angry as the days go by. I'm not willing to forgive or I can't or don't want to. Not sure. Take good care of you and your new baby. Keep your guard up, and your eyes open.
