ReplyDeleteFirst, learn to use correct spelling and grammar. It may help get your point across more efficiently.
Second, retail price of medication is subject to change without notice.
Third, some pharmacies will match prices only if specific medications are on a generic drug list. If a medication is not on that list, the price may not be matched. Ingle's and Walmart have their own generic drug lists, and Ingle's appears to be cheaper.
First if you are an Ingles employee you need to check your shitty attitude. This is the problem everyone is complaining about. Ingles in general has a shitty attitude toward employees and customers.
Second if you read better you would have seen that he said he was told they would price match.
Third that makes the rest of the crap you are talking a moot point!!!
fourth if you are not an Ingles employee you need to stop trolling this page and grow a set and try trolling a social networking site so you can get your face powned because you are obviously an idiot employee or not!!!
Angry-what i hate about Ingles is the mess. You go to a Harrisd Teeter and its soo clean and organized-you go to say the Oteen ingles and there is crap ion the counters of the unattended lanes-full carts of whatever jsut hanging out near the front-just a general lack of neatness and organization-it speaks volumes on the management
DeleteI was in the Dallaas ingles store and when I parked in the handicap park Jerry Milller saw me and immediately told me to stay by my car and he brought me a riding cart which I needed because I just had a hip replacement. thank you for him.
DeleteIf you dont work at Ingles , shut your damn mouth, an if your worried about grammer, go piss an moan somewhere else..... Jerk
DeleteDisgruntaled Customer:
My better half and I have been shopping at Ingles #039, 4396 Hwy 24-Whitehall Rd. in Anderson, SC for the past 7 years. When the new manager (Darren Mitchell) took over, the store started down hill.
We and other Senior Citizens in the area shopped at Ingles since it is a convient location. Within the last year, many of us have driven into Anderson to do our shopping, because the way this store is being operated.
I have personnally heard & seen him ridicule employees in front of customers. Tell a checkout lady to continue working even though she was showing signs of the Flu.
You have lost some good employees due to the actions of this manager.
We still buy a few items in the store. Day before yesterday I was talking to one of the employees and was told that he was crying the blues since he didn't get a bonus. I can totally understand !!
WTFuck is management going to do about bad customer services????????????
I hate INGLES I moved here from DC and hate INGLES WITH. Passion
Checkout pissedconsumer.com, many ingles stories
My daughter started working at an Igles this past month. After 3 days they made her the Head Decorator cause she had a natural talent. She was always really good at drawing so I know that helped her a lot. The lady that trains them only works at the store once a month. She and the store manager made my daughter the head decorator. But as soon as the lady that trained her was gone their new manager of the bakery put her making breakfast every day!!! And alone on top of it. She has to be there by 5am. The bakery manager does the cakes herself now and so far they have lost money on a lot of their cakes. She doesn't do any of them right. She messed up a 60 dollar cake and the store had to give it to the customer for 20 bucks! My older daughter ordered a cake there the other week cause she knew her sister would be doing it but instead this other chick did it. Instead of writing "Happy Birthday Tyler", she wrote "Happy Birthday Carmen"!! HUH?! How the heck do you get Carmen for Tyler? She's been changing the schedule at the last second too. My daughter was suppose to work the other day and she called and told them her clock didn't go off she was on her way. She had 20 minutes still to get there and it only takes like 10. The chick over them told her she wasn't on the schedule. My daughter told her she just looked the day before and she was. The Bakery Manager told no she wasn't. Then was told she wasn't on the schdeule for two more days. The Store manager is suppose to have matts down on the floor for them so they don't fall since it gets slippery but doesn't. Their microwave is broken and the sprayer they use for the cakes is broken. The manager I have been told doesn't care about the store at all. His just there for a pay check. The stores is terrible and unsafe! I hope my dughter can find another job somewhere better. She loves to do the cakes!
ReplyDeleteI started working at Ingles this pass September. I was told I was being hired to be the 2nd cook in the deli. Once I was hired I was doing everything but cooking. I was never properly trained and neither were several of my fellow deli employees. The Manager in the deli doesn't know the first thing about being a manager. She doesn't order enough supplies. She doesn't know how to make an efficient schedule. She cuts peoples hours based on how she feels about you. Its completely UNORGANIZED!!!! I was wrongly fired 2 days ago. My first thought was to call corporate and get my job back, however I have decided that Ingles is NOT a company I want to work for. I wouldn't recommend working for Ingles to a homeless man!! I'm BEYOND fed up!! This Ingles is located in Conyers GA #469. Corporate definitely needs to come and spy in on what going on in this deli!!! I will never work for another Ingles in my life
ReplyDeleteI know just . Who u ou are speaking off and the deli has partily cook ed food also .also corpi rate needs to be aware of a woman from corporate that comes into the floral dept and throws things across the floor in front of customers. Why she is allowed to act li min e this when the employees there are nice as can be . I ferl sorry for the person that works in that dept and dwals with her .My wife and I dont shop there any longer due to the rudebess of Ingles corporate employees .
DeleteMy daughter got a part time job working at Ingles in Covington,Ga.on Hwy.278.Things started off fine until after about a month her along with the others began working 10 or less hrs
A week.One evening she was ask to work from 6:30-11:00pm.I ask her to call and explain that working so late was not only dangerous in my opinion but I get up at 4:30am to go drive a schoolbus and couldnt risk falling asleep or being tired at my job from picking her up so late.When speaking w the manager here,he was VERY rude to my daughter.Stating he doesn't have time for this shit and would just take her off the schedule completely then hung up on her.She was in tears!I don't talk to my child that way and he certainly won't.I have heard MANY people talk about how hateful this man is to his young employees but my child will not be one of them.
I don't know when Ingles will get this store right, but I am so VERY upset this time, I am calling the FDA and this store can get fined til they are blue in the face. I just purchased and item and todays date is 11/25/2013. I had to call the company to see if the item is harmful...............the expiration date on the item is 6/15/2012, yes, over a year and a half OLD. The store, the OLD store on Spartanburg in Hendersonville, NC
ReplyDeleteI pull items off the shelf at Ingles that are more then a month out of date on a regular basis. My best was a bottle of fruit juice that was 3 years out of date. It had actually fermented and the seal was leaking. I was recently fired for standing up for my employee rights, schedule changes not being made in writing 24hrs in advance and for complaining about the company refusing to send me to a doctor after being hit in eye with a 2L soda bottle.
DeleteI have to return expired organic grass fed ground beef today. I had gone back and bought organic bison because I saw a later expiration date. So I grabbed 3 because I've got a large family. I got home and the two packs under were bad three days prior to me purchasing them. I had been to Ingles a year prior but quit going because the born free organic eggs were molding inside the eggs. Also turkey legs were old and smelled weird. I gave it a second chance so I could get organic stuff and once again stuff is old.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I have the right place for the comment I want to make. If not please pass this on to the appropriate dept. I live in Farragut, Tn. and shop at the Ingles on Kingston Pike. Last week I paid for my purchases and left the store to go home. My battery had died therefore the car would not start. I went back in the store to call someone for help. I was talking to the cashier about getting some help and a young man who was bagging groceries heard the conversation He told me that he had jumper cables in his truck and would start my car. How lucky I was that this young man was there at that time. His name is Sam Embury. I hope that your company has some recognition for employees like this young man. Rhonda Chatfield
ReplyDeleteI went to Ingles at Rockbridge Road in Stone Mountain Georgia yesterday this store charges more for grocery items that are listed in the paper such as Fab detergent the add price is 3.99 but that store price was 5.48 I pointed this out to a employee and the buy one get one free items were not that and to top it off I bought a 3 pack of trident gum that had expired Jan 2013 this store need to close or get new mangement at once before its to late and expired food hurt someone.
ReplyDeleteMy husband works for Ingles in Asheville, NC. He was recently put out of work for 3 days, with a doctors note. Upon getting his paycheck today there was no sick pay on it. When he inquired about it he was told that you have to be out of work sick for at least FIVE days to be able to get sick pay!! Does anybody know if that is actually legal? He had a doctors note, and has accrued sick pay. Can they get away with that policy?
ReplyDeleteI do not understand just how ingles tolerates a woman named jenny that evidently is a corporate employee .My husband and I were there at the Ingles in conyers ga on Salem rd as we walked in we saw here throwingv away flowers and talking ugly about the lady that works in floral .My husband and I have been shopping at this store for yrs and we noticed how good the floral dept has been looking in the last few months . If I were the lady having to tolerate this woman I would have some nasty words to say ti her .My husband said we will no longer shop at Ingles due to how rude this corporate employee was acting and talking so that customers could here her . I cant believe Mr Ingles would employee people that evidently dislike their job so much that they do not care about insulting another employees and in front of customers .
ReplyDeleteI am aware of the woman you are speaking about . I was in the floral dept one morning and there was a shopping cart filled with plants .My mother was looking through them whenva lady whos nane wasJenny came over to her and told her to put t ghost e flowers back they were going to the trash and she couldnt buy them This was very insulting a bbc.co d we havent been back since them Corporate must be really hard . Up to tolerate such rude employees and by the way the lady that works in floral is the sweetest person and very helpful with chouces on flowers . Floral looks very nice but if I was the lady that works there I would make a formal complaint to head quarters on her .Just thpught I would let you know about the rudeness of this lady Thank you
DeleteI was in Ingles in Temple Ga. There was an ad in the paper this week if you bought 3 coke products (12) pack for $3.33 each you would get 2 12 packs free any less than three would be regular price of $5.55 each. The same ad was in last weeks paper for Pepsi products I was shopping last week at the Bremen store. I was charged $5.55 for all 5 cases. I pointed this out to them and they changed it to charge me 5.55 each for 3. I did not accept that because the ad said they were$3.33 each for 3 and get 2 free. The total should have been 9.99 and 2 free. I was told the ad was wrong. I pointed out the fact that the same information was put on the pepsi products there at the store. She replied that they had to do that to match the ad. I got the Pepsi products for the ad price by being persistent in making them honor their ad. The Temple store said the ad was for a total of 5 products at $3.33 each. This is not what the ad said. Some of the above comments about price being higher there is true. They are the highest price store I have shopped in. I went there for the organic products. I will never shop at an Ingles again. Costco warehouse has a lot of Organic groceries and I will do all of my shopping there from now on. I know one customer is not going to hurt this corp. but if one by people shop shopping, they will soon begin to show a loss In revenue. By the way my name is James Justice. and I will never grace their doors again even for the gas.
ReplyDeleteIf you work for Ingles, in a low paying position, you simply take what you get. There are people waiting in line for these jobs. It is best to improve your education and training and move on.
ReplyDeleteI have shopped ingles on salem rd in conyers ga for yrs The floral department was fabalous over the last 4 or 5 months My husband and I was in there Saturday and was going to buy a gift in floral for our daughter and when we walked in the door we noticed that it was just a mess .There were empty baskets where cut flowers were suppose to be and boxes in front of glass shelves .We were so disappointed that we didn't even look any further .Just thought I would mention this and to let you know that this was very disappointing to see the department look like this since it has always looked very nice and clean prior to today .
ReplyDeleteI have shopped at the Walt Stephens Rd,Stockbridge Ga,,. Ingles since they have opened. But as months go by i am finding more and more expired products.Example yesterday while shopping i found 3 different types of L.L. chips that were expired. Also found sour cream expired.This has happened so much that i have stopped shopping for a lot of items at Ingles. Hope that i don't have to stop.... Please train your stockers and suppliers better.
ReplyDeleteI would like to let someone know how disappointed I was this morning when I went into Ingles floral dept .I have been shopping at Ingles for yrs and until a few months ago never went into floral .For the last few months I have bought many flowers in fkoral dept .Who ever was in charge of that dept was doung great there were many types of glowers to choose from and dept was arranged very eye appealing .However I went tgere this morning and was shocked to see that there were very few varieties to choose from and very few flowers total .The managers special flowers were dead .I had to leave and go ti kroger and get flowers fir a sick friend .I don't know who made a change but to let you kbow it was a bad nistake .I will not buy flowers there any longer So anyone reading this don't gi to Ingles fliral dept on sakem rd in conyers ga
ReplyDeleteIngles treats their employees like crap! I was in line at the poinsett highway location in Greenville SC the girl on register 2 did everything right asking for id for beer and wine next thing I know she was gone because the little rat bastard got mad because she ided him to buy beer he went to customer service and lied on her and said she didn't well hello I was right behind him and seen her ask for id!
ReplyDeleteI live in Elberton, Ga - I wish someone in the Ingles Corporate office would tell us why gas here at our Ingles is twenty three cents higher than it is at the Ingles in Hartwell, Ga which is only eighteen miles from Elberton. I asked someone in our local office why and he gave me some b/s about the region we were in. There should not be any difference between stores which are so close to each other. I hope someone can give me a reasonable explanation. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteSame here, most of the time it's higher or lower depending on local taxes.
DeleteMy name is Ann. I started working for Ingles in December 2013. I worked in the gas express at store number 469 on Salem Road in Conyers, Ga. During the winter I had no heat out there and as we skipped spring and hit summer head on we had no heat. After making a complaint to the STORE MANAGER ELVIN JONES and the CO MANAGER MR> TRUE as well as all 3 CSM's I lost my job for calling in my first time EVER! I had a stomach virus. I followed policy and called almost 4 hours before my shift to give them time to replace me. In retrospect when I called two days later to confirm the time I was to come in I was informed by Mr. ELVIN JONES himself that he didn't have an employee by that name. That my friends is how this shitty ass company deals with it's employees. This store has a csm sleeping with most of her co workers. Has been pregnant by two and had abortions. All of the white people are forced to work outside with no heat or air. And the store manager calls the gas attendants "stupid" and "retarted" he has no regard for the people who got him to where he is. To make matters worse he FORGED my separation notice without properly spelling SEPARATION! He has a csm telling EVERY EMPLOYEE in the store I was fired for working in UNHEALTHY conditions! SCREW WASTING YOUR MONEY AT INGELS! Calling and dealing with corporate at Ingels will get you NOWHERE!!! As a CUSTOMER or EMPLOYEE!
ReplyDeleteI worked in the bakery dept. at the Clemson Ingles. Angie was my Bakery mngr and Travis was my store mngr. I've been insulted, discriminated against, humiliated and embarrassed in front of co-workers and customers in the front of the store by Travis and in front of other co-workers By Angie at separate times. I've been called names and made a point of humor by management. I am a married woman and have been repeatedly ask for sexual encounters by other management in this store and when I have complained to the store manager (Travis) nothing was ever done about it. I also know of others who have complained about the same problems from the same employee and still nothing has been done. My experience working at Ingles was nothing more then a disappointment and a insult. I no longer work for the Ingles because of all the bullying and insults by management, but while I did, I always made sure to NEVER call in and to always be there on time, every day even early some days. If someone else from the bakery was unable to come in, I would always be willing to help and come in on my days off. Even if it was a part of the bakery that I wasn't trained in, I still came in, learned and preformed that job without pay increase or issue. I have always been willing to help. For ingles management team to treat me and other employees the ways that they did and continue to do is completely unacceptable. I hate that its come to this but if no one contacts me about these issues, I have considered contacting the news for help also filing harassment and discrimination charges along with various other offences.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean I was done the same way at the same store been working there for years I called human resource and 4 dsys later they were going to fire me and im gone.we should get together and file together
ReplyDeleteI have seen the children's shopping carts with little cars built onto carts, and wondered why one similar with just a bench seat could be made for caregivers to use with seniors whose vision is too poor to use the electric carts, but don't have the stamina to walk all over the store with a walker? Thanks
ReplyDeleteOh,... me again guess I posted this in wrong place,.... and after reading all these glowing comments from employees,... this may be mute also....:)
DeleteThis Morning I was on my way to work driving my husbands truck and the oil light came on ,and right beside Ingles is a auto zone however they were closed and when they opened I would have been late for work.I made the decison to go to Ingles I asked the the manager on duty Tim Bibble to help me put oil in my truck( I am a Female) he immediately stopped what he was doing and came to my rescue,no questions asked
May God bless Mr Tim Bibble and I appreciate him (INGLES IN MOONVILLE S.C)
Ingles is a bunch of horse crap. I walked out on my job today. I will take take being yelled at in front of customers and co workers by the co manager of the store, jake. I worked at the ingles on hwy 29 in hull ga. They have poor managerment.
ReplyDeleteI think this is just a site to vent. It is not being redirected to Ingle's Headquarters. So, if you have an issue, I suggest you contact Ingle's Corporate Office directly
ReplyDeleteThe Ingels on atlanta hwy in Athens Ga has had their air condictioner out in the deli for over a month now. The employees are burning up and someone could pass out or worse. Ingels should take care of their employees better than that. I work for Resourse at company and that would not be happening. Get the A/C fixed quickly before someone has a heat stroke in the deli.
ReplyDeleteprices are not competitive to Kroger and definitely publix hope they catch on quick or they will down the tubes similar to other non competitive stores if piggly wiggly is more competitive shame on you
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Publix to enter the market. Just moved to Maggie from FL and find your prices prohibitively expensive. Love your selection, your staffs and your stores but your prices are outrageous. The real reason I came here is because I am in India working right now and tried to look at the weekly ad so I can stop at the store on the way home from the airport this weekend and Ingles prohibits access to their website from India. Newsflash guys, Publix, Bilo and Food Lion do not block me so I will be going to one of those (not Publix yet...but soon) on the way home from the airport. Take a hint from a very conservative southerner....you guys exemplify the stereotypical "southern red neck".... please come into the 20th century else risk getting squashed in the competitive marketplace....
The Cashiers NC store did not have an Advantage email price of 8/06/14 in their register this morning 8/06/14. Product was Colgate toothpaste 2 for $2.00 for 6.4 oz limit 6 per customer. The register had it $2.68 each when my Advantage card was entered. . The customer service manager did not know of the email special and suggested I bring in the ad for the price to be honored. I have had this problem before at this store even with signs advertising prices in the store. I have brought their signs to register on a few occasions to get the advertised price honored. Incompetence or deceitful behavior ? ...but I do not trust this Ingles store and double check everything they do at the register.
ReplyDeleteMy name is mrs.Amy Thorn I use to shop at Ingles on Salem Rd in Conyers Ga .Up to about a year ago I would buy flowers at least twice a week thete There was always a great variety and the floral dept looked great. I went in Saturday January 2015 .I needed a flower to take to a friend in the hospital so I went into Ingles once again hoping someone else was in floral that knew how to take care of flowers but I was wrong. Every flower in tgere was dead and marked down I cant believe it is still ran this way. About a year ago every time I went in floral looked great. Who do yall have running floral ? Dead flowers what few were there. I am so disappounted once again Does corporate not check on what is going on ? The floral in this store needs to be removed if no one can keep it up. Will continue to purchase flowers at Kroger Very disappointed. !!!!!!

WHY dev.emcelettronica.com ?
Internet can either be a huge source of precious, valuable, useful information or a bottomless swamp that drags you down with worthless, unrelated, useless trash.
Along the years the spread between these two sides of the web is getting larger and larger and even more larger, and this for an electronic/software engineer/designer is indeed frustrating.
Moreover, sharing one self experience, in terms of code, schematics, bug report etc. is as much important as taking benefit from other people experience.
That's why we at dev.emcelettronica.com, as electronic engineers ourselves, came out with the idea of offering a web site facing these problems.
WHAT does dev.emcelettronica.com offer?
A web site whose principal targets are :
- Filtering real usefull information from useles ones. This was the one of the sparks that set off the whole process.
- Provide a blog where design ideas can be presented and commented. We originally provide articles and ideas, but anybody can contribute with his/her own experience. (Spark #2)
- Provide "books" for easy access to all necessary info to develop a project from scratch. The topics are broad, from cpu architecture a environmental impact of solid state technologies.
- Provide easy and direct access to semiconductors producers news news.emcelettronica.com. Keep one self up to date about new products is a real burden, we try to relieve designers gathering all news in the same place.
- Provide free access to Datasheets datasheet.emcelettronica.com.
- Provide a search engine optimized for electronic design, just in case you can not find what you need on our web site link a esearch.........!
HOW does dev.emcelettronica.com make things tick?
dev.emcelettronica.com is totally committed to WEB 2.0. (Share for life!) hence the use of TAXONOMY and FOLKSONOMY.
We try as much as possible to give easily readable pages.
At the moment more than 100.000 people per month (for an average of about 350.000 pages / month) visit our web site.
This simply means that advertising on our site pays back with an high level of visibility.
We do not want to offer a billboard cluttered of ads, since our aim is to offer a tailored solution for the advertiser business.
We also think that a good technical article offering an immediate solution for a real life problem is still the best form of advertisement in the system designes world.
That's why we articulate our offer in terms of visibilty rather than page area size.
dev.emcelettronica.com WANTS YOU !
We are looking for contributors with technical expertise about any kind of topic concerning :
Embedded systems.
PCB design.
Power Supplies.
Analog design.
Firmware and device drivers development.
RF and data transmission protocols and circuits.

< Xerath
Champion | Background | Strategy | Skins & Trivia |
Skill usage
- Xerath range has the potential for both strong harass and farm.
- Arcanopulse is best used to harass, but it can also be used to hit an entire line of minions.
- Eye of Destruction is great for farming since it does the most damage, minions don't dodge.
- An early point into Shocking Orb can help keep you safe from ganks as you can stun anyone who comes close, but it should generally be maxed last, as it is hard to use in lane with minions.
- However, he does have a weaknesses. You will need to occasionally attack a minion or champion with an auto-attack to maintain your mana, as Xerath's mana costs are very high,
- If there are no minions nearby, consider auto-attacking a wraith to gain the passive mana.
- 2 good combo's are
- Use the stun from Shocking Orb to land an easy bullseye with Eye of Destruction and a quick Arcanopulse. This will deal the maximum damage.
- Use the slow from Eye of Destruction to help you land Shocking Orb, and follow up with Arcanopulse. This will deal less damage, but is easier to land.
- Xerath is one of the most damaging mages, along with his range allowing him to build full offense, but he has 2 major weaknesses:
- His abilities are all skill shots, and can be avoided.
- Xerath is very mana-hungry, his passive requires him to get close.
- In team fights Xerath deals severe AoE damage, and is very effective against enemies that are tightly grouped..
- Rite of the Arcane has amazing range and massive damage, however it's delay and small area make it easy for unhindered enemies to dodge. Thus it is best used in conjunction with an ally. Allowing Xerath to turn a 1v1 into a 1v2.
- It is also great for stealing objectives. He can reach both dragon and baron from mid lane.
- Rite of the Arcane's immunity to displacement effects can be used defensively against Blitzcrank's grab or Gragas's ult.
- Xerath has several options for summoner spells:
- Ignite is generally a poor choice since Xerath is rarely close enough to use it.
- Flash is best used for defense, as Xerath already has long range.
- Teleport allows for better lane-control and opens some gank-options.
- Barrier can help you survive against assassins, one of Xerath's major weaknesses.
- Heal can also help you against assassins plus it has a movement speed boost, though the healing can be countered by Grievous Wounds.
- Cleanse is generally a poor choice, since you have no escape to capitalize on it.
- Exhaust has a short range, but protects you from some of your counters who have to rely on getting close in order to kill you, namely Fizz and Ahri. It also slows down targets so you can more reliably hit with all your attacks.
- Smite is generally a poor choice as Xerath can already deal high damage to minions, and does very poorly in the jungle.
- Clairvoyance, combined with Xerath's extraordinary range, allows you to control the enemy buffs without putting yourself into real danger, in addition to greatly improving map- and objective-control. It also allows you to snipe recalling champions.
- Clarity is not viable because of Xerath's passive and high mana cost.
Build usage
- Xerath's range can allow him to build full offensive with Cooldown Reduction, Ability Power, Magic Penetration, and some Mana regeneration to power it.
- 2 Core items are the Athene's Unholy Grail or Morellonomicon, which gives you AP, Mana, and CDR in good amounts.
- Athene's Unholy Grail is the more defensive option, giving you MR, and more mana regeneration, allowing you to stay away more often.
- Morellonomicon is the more offensive option, giving you more AP, and being 400 cheaper, but you will need to move closer to gain mana from your passive more often.
- While Morellonomicon combined with Athene's Unholy Grail will let you hit 40% CDR, it is not recommended to get both. 5 points in sorcery mastery, along either CDR glyphs/Quints, blue buff, or Ionian Boots of Lucidity can get you to the 40% cap.
- Rabadon's Deathcap should be bought right after hitting the CDR cap. It provides a large boost in damage.
- Void Staff will help you against target's that stack magic resist, and combine nicely with Haunting Guise, and/or Sorcerer's Shoes.
- 2 Core items are the Athene's Unholy Grail or Morellonomicon, which gives you AP, Mana, and CDR in good amounts.
- Building Zhonya's Hourglass will give you Ability power, armor, and a powerful active that can help you survive if the enemy team has gap closing abilities.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter can slow people down, making it easier to land more attacks.
- Xerath should use Magic Penetration Glyphs.
Recommended Builds
- Xerath deals magic damage, magic resist is the obvious counter ( Banshee's Veil).
- While all of Xerath's spells have a very long range, they are also all delayed and/or skill shots and can be dodged.
- As such, he is vulnerable to high mobility characters, such as Ezreal, Diana, Kassadin, Ahri, and Fizz.
- Evelynn is also Xerath's strong counter as her stealth can negate his long range advantage.
- Speed ( Boots of Swiftness) may be a better stat than magic resist ( Mercury's Treads) against Xerath.
- Xerath is most powerful late game, especially with full items. Try to stop and starve him early.
- Xerath's mana can be depleted quickly and he needs to come in short range for his passive to work.
- Try and make him waste his attacks, and then counter when he is out of mana.
- With his long range Xerath can be a threat to other lanes, notify your team if he leaves your lane.
- Most of Xerath's attacks are AoE, try to stay spread out in team fights.
- Avoid getting hit by his Shocking Orb, as the stun gives him ample opportunity to land his combo.
- Observing Xerath can help you to dodge his Arcanopulse. When you see Xerath slow down, it's time to start dodging left or right, perpendicular to the imaginary line between you and Xerath. This gives you extra warning to dodge the Q in addition to the Q's lit warning track.
- Casting Rite of the Arcane makes Xerath immobile, and makes him immune to displacements. However, hard CC like stuns and silences interrupt his ultimate and put it on cooldown, so saving these for when he casts his ultimate is worth it.
- When Xerath uses his ultimate, a large circle quickly expands from it. This circle is visible by everyone, and it indicates his maximum cast range. Use this to your advantage, and keep in mind that his ultimate is an AoE.

I have a few more Hoyas that are blooming. One large leafed species is in bloom with at least eight or nine peduncles on a three or four foot section of bare vine. The flowers are small and only a few are open at a time so it's just not very impressive. I should try and get some photos of all the peduncles but as for flowers I think I will only take a few single flower macro shots.
This little Hoya species was initially collected on the island of Sulawesi, it came to me from Apodagis in Thailand a few years ago. I have to admit that I fell in love with this Hoya the moment I first saw a photo. The leaves are quite fleshy with raised veins and the plant seems to do very well growing rather dry. This is the first blooming for my plant so I expect more flower buds in the future, a few buds may have dropped due to the potting mix staying dry too long. The flower peduncle is slender and about five inches long, I have yet to notice a scent from the blooms but have not checked in the dark. And because it might be a little while before I add more Hoya flower photos to this thread I will a splash of colour. This is Sinningia speciosa from Cardosa Moriera in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. What a beautiful plant! Mike |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya sp 25 APODAGIS

Both of those plants are gorgeous. Great pics! -Jacob |
Mike, thanks for sharing your photos with us.I have to say that I really want to get that hoya.Its so different than some of the more common ones and the color is so cute with the combo of yellow and pink. My hoyas are not really doing to much at the moment but this is because I am changing them over to S/H. Buottii is growing like a weed since the change. Cindy |
Thanks Jacob, and welcome to the forum by the way. Cindy my plants are all doing pretty good in the bloom department. Some plants that should be blooming are just sitting there but many of the bloomers are doing so for the first time so I have no comaplaints. Hoya boutii has some more buds developing and Hoya lobbii is just about to drop it's latest round of blooms. Mike |

Very Pretty Mike! Did you happen to get a chance to see if you could smell any kind of fragrance from the flower.... I always love the fragrant ones! As always great photo! |
Mike I would love to do swap come spring.Keep me in mind when your weather warms up. Cindy |
Thanks Golden. :) I did not notice a scent and tonight the blooms are ready to drop. I had expected the blooms to smell sweet because that is what I have read for Hoya myrmecopa which has to be a close relative. My Hoya myrmecopa has never bloomed but the leaves of these two could not be more different, still the blooms are quite similar. It may be that with so few flowers the scent was not noticeable. Will do Cindy. Mike |

Beautiful little blooms, Mike! Congratulations. I have to say I just love this plant too. Did you get a shot of the peduncle? It sounds lovely. Where do you grow your Sinningia? I would be ashamed to show you mine, which would really need some work before they were show ready (lol). Still, they are growing and happy and that's something. |
Beautiful pictures mike. So far I don't have anything to swap but would love to have a cutting some how.Don't know the rules for trading and buying!! Darr |
GG thank you and it's great to see you back! I had a really hard time photographing this little Hoya because it's about six feet long and in a tiny little three inch hanging pot. Getting that thing into the photo cube without having it fall out of the pot or knocking the flowers off was enough to make curse. Next time it blooms I will take a photo that shows the peduncle. My Sinningias are all grown in from of a sunny South facing window. That beauty above was half grown when I got it from a local woman who just happens to have great taste in plants. I have another that is from the same seed packet and is much shorter and with darker leaf/stem colour. I also have some not so pretty Gesneriads but I think I am getting the hang of them. I just learned that the 2013 Gesneriad Society Convention is being held in Toronto so I am beyond thrilled about that. Darr it depends on where you are, trading over the boarder is pretty risky but it can be done. Where are you located? Mike |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 10:34
GG I have a new secret weapon to hold Gesneriads proud and tall while being all but invisible. I found green floral wire used to make stems in flower arrangements. The wire is very think but stiff and it works like a charm unless the plant is really tall. My Kohlerias would probably be too large but the Sinningia was still ok even though it's about a foot tall. That little one you have there looks amazing if grown pretty bright, it stands up pretty well. When it gets ugly I just hack it off, take some cuttings, and let the rhizomes sprout new growth. I hope to have some time to photograph some more Hoyas this weekend, most are ones I have posted before so not too exciting. Mike |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 15:18
That's a great tip, Mike. I'll have to give it a whirl. By the time they get tall, a lot of Kohlerias are robust enough to stand tall on their own, it's just when they're smaller that it seems to go wrong. At least in my apartment... @_@ My Gesneriads just need more light. The Hoyas keep expanding and I keep moving the Gesneriads around and I just haven't figured out the right solution yet. Sometimes photographing a familiar Hoya results in more interesting photos, just because the pressure is off. My weekend goal is to update my database, I think. |
Mike I live mainly in Elba Al. but also have hoyas in Gulf Shores AL. Both places are in Zone 8. I probably won't do any trading across the border but am wondering about the buying and selling among the forum members. Have a good one!! Darr |
Ok I finally got around to photographing the peduncles on my Hoya sp Sulawesi GPS 8867. I counted 26 peduncles on a 24" section of bare vine. There are peduncles growing off of peduncles and sprouting in every direction. The flowers are the most boring Hoya flowers I have ever seen and only a few mature at a time, still weird is wonderful and the big beautiful leaves are more than enough for me. Sorry for the terrible photo but I didn't feel like setting up the tripod. Mike |
WOW!Mike What are you feeding that hoya?LOL.To bad they don't all open at the same time.That would be a sight to see. Cindy |
Cindy I am not quite sure if it's the fertilizer or what. I have been using MSU and some generic bloom booster. Here is an old photo of one of this Hoyas leaves, they newer leaves are quite large compared to that one. Mike |
I like the leaves too.I like big interesting leaves so when you don't get to see flowers it's ok. |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 6, 12 at 23:32
LOL That is so cool and hilarious, Mike. Thanks for the picture. If I had a plant behaving like that I would laugh every time I saw it. It hasn't quite figured out the lesson of less is more yet, has it? ;) |
This is Hoya sp aff. lacunosa (Giant) IML 1813 and it started to open it's blooms last night. The flowers are about 1 cm across which means the umbel is a little more than 1.5" across. The flowers are very strongly scented and they easily fill a room with their scent. The umbel of flowers is absolutely giant in comparison to the standard Hoya lacunosa, a really great plant and it flowered in under a year from a cutting. The leaves are about 2" long and they lack the indentations that give Hoya lacunosa it's name. Mike |
Wow, those photos are incredible. Thanks for sharing! -Jacob |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 14:10
I can't believe I forgot to respond to these pictures, Mike. They're fascinating. How strange that the leaves are smooth. This looks like a really great addition to any collection. :3 |
Thanks Jacob. GG it's true that this plant is much like Hoya lacunosa so perhaps not as exciting as something more rare. I do still think this Hoya is very much worth growing and if I were to have only one Hoya lacunosa type I would choose this one simply because the flowers are a good size. I was hoping to take a flower comparison photo of this one and a Hoya lacunosa but my lacunosas were not in bloom. I did find this one more fragrant than my Hoya lacunosa although it was a very similar scent. Mike |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 16:54
Yep, I sure did want a side by side shot, but I figured someone as meticulous as you would have supplied it already, had it been possible. >:) |
OK I know this is a terrible photo (iphone in the middle of the night lol) but I was afraid that the blooms were already beginning to drop. This Hoya has a nice spicy scent and it's hard not to notice it when there are so many blooms. The blooms seem to be quite short lived but if I get another chance for a proper photo I will take one. Hoya sp Sulawesi GPS 8867 in full bloom. This is by far the most Hoya blooms I have gotten at once from any Hoya plant I own. If the flowers were larger and more appealing I would be totally blown away, still it's pretty impressive. Mike |
How is that aff. lacunosa as a grower Mike? Is it as generous a bloomer as your bog standard lacunosa? I think if I ever win the lotto, I may just collect all the lacunosa's, affin's and such. What is that group called? Was it Ottostemma? Forgive me if I am so off with the name, had to get up at 4:30 am this am. Where am I? LOL |
Well Mike I am impressive.Nice growing. Cindy |
Kelly I like the aff. lacunosa Giant the most out of my Hoya lacunosa plants. My plant flowered in under a year from a cutting and even one umbel of blooms is impressive with this plant. I think the only other form of Hoya lacunosa that I want to add to my collection is the tiny little Hoya lacunosa collected in Langkawi Malaysia. Oh and yes Hoya lacunosa is the type species for the section Otostemma. Cindy I am convinced that this Hoya (sp Sulawesi GPS 8867) is flowering like this in response to a much dryer winter rest. When the peduncles started to form I began to water a little more but still being cautious. Once the plant started to produce flowers I realized that it wanted even more water so I started to water heavily once a week and then even more often. This plant is grown in a 6" clay pot and the potting mix dries out quite quickly. Mike |
- Posted by Laura_Carnosa none (My Page) on Thu, Feb 23, 12 at 14:54
Criminy, Mike! That's outrageous! |
Thanks Laura. Most of the blooms dropped off yesterday so now I am interested in seeing if there will be a replay. My other Hoyas that have been blooming are all forming buds again or already blooming. Both colour forms of Hoya heuschkeliana, Hoya lobbii, Hoya walliniana, that little one from Thailand up at the top of this thread, and dare I say I think I saw a peduncle forming on my Hoya imperalis. Hoya sp Maluku IPPS 3749 has been trying to bloom but never quite makes it so I am going to have to start paying more attention to watering. It's been a great winter for Hoyas around here. Mike |
Hey Mike: Did you get the giant Lacunosa on a Liddle order or from somewhere else? :) Kelly in Victoria |
Kelly I got it from a friend here in Ontario but she got it from the Liddles. I can see if she would like to sell a cutting, she has a large collection of Hoyas. I have been a bit lazy with the camera and have not been keeping up with the re-bloomers. I did take the time to photograph one Hoya tonight, Hoya praetorii. Hoya praetorii's flowers after I thoughtlessly had already cut flower #10 off to photograph alone. Not the best photo as the focus is not quite right but remember I said I have been lazy lately. lol Mike |
I'll send you an email :) |
- Posted by PerrenialGirl none (My Page) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 16:10
Mike you have an amazing collection of hoyas and blooms!! I have a few but can't seem to get them to bloom. I've been taking some tips from Laura and have bought Sunblaster ligths and have been feeding them with orchid food. Also have moved all my hoyas into turface this tip from Cindi. Please keep your fingers crossed that this will work for me. |
Mike again beautiful flowers,my praetorii blooms should open any day.Its will be the first time it has bloomed. Donna good luck with the turface.I can say that my hoyas love it. |
- Posted by PerrenialGirl none (My Page) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 19:39
Thanks, Cindi! I hope mine do to. |
PerennialGirl those Sun Blasters are great and they have helped me bloom many of my orchids that were being stubborn. Thanks for the kind words. Cindy there are more buds developing as well, such a great Hoya, this and lasiantha. Congrats on getting yours to bloom. :) Mike |
Those orange flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them with us. -Jacob |

On paper, NeoGeo Heroes Ultimate Shooting sounds like a great formula. Take SNK Playmore's massive stable of arcade game characters and plop them into an old-school styled vertical scrolling shooter, then add a bunch of SNK-themed bosses and a story composed almost entirely of silly gags and in-jokes. Sounds like a real winner for SNK's longtime fan crowd, right? Unfortunately, NeoGeo Heroes isn't as awesome as the premise might lead you to believe.
True to its name, NeoGeo Heroes lets you play as one of many characters from SNK arcade classics. They range from the well-known (Mai Shiranui and Terry Bogard from King of Fighters, Marco from Metal Slug) to the far more obscure (Akari from The Last Blade, Syd-III from ancient arcade shooter ASO). Each character has a unique standard shot pattern and themed "special moves" with different effects on the playfield, along with the typical limited stock of life-saving "smart bombs" to use in a pinch. You'll take your character through a player-chosen path along several action-packed shooting and dodging-filled stages, racking up high scores and fighting a classic SNK character as a boss at the end of each. There's a lot of potential for superplay fiends to rack up some killer high scores, which is a very enjoyable element of the game.
The main issue with NeoGeo Heroes, however, is that the stages themselves are generally dull, filled with utterly nondescript backgrounds and constantly recycled, generic enemy designs. If you were hoping for fun level designs themed around specific SNK titles and characters, you are going to be sorely disappointed - the bosses (and the ridiculous dialogue accompanying them) are the only thing that will get your nostalgia juices flowing. To make things worse, the stage design is inconsistent. Enemy waves and attack patterns fall in the categories of "piss easy" and "suddenly, frustratingly hard," and often change between the two extremes at a moment's notice. As a result, you'll often find yourself struggling to maintain interest in the core stage until you reach the considerably more fun (though still inconsistently difficult) boss fights.
Another big issue is the display. The PSP's extra-lengthy widescreen was clearly not designed with the intent to handle vertically-oriented shooting games, but that didn't stop the developers of NGH. What's boggling is that, despite being a PSP exclusive, the game's default display is formatted like a vertical scrolling arcade game – meaning that only a small portion in the center of the screen is used for the actual game area, and is surrounded by giant "letterbox" borders at all times. Considering the PSP screen's already small vertical area, this means a whole lot of squinting and potential headaches when you're trying to keep track of teeny bullets threatening to fry you. You can remedy this problem by changing a setting to play holding the PSP vertically, which actually works out very well once you get used to it – provided you don't mind looking like a moron when you play in public. Why not just make a shooting game that fits the default PSP display more adequately to begin with?
NGH does offer a lot in terms of extras, too. There's a special challenge mode, an art gallery, and even an entire extra game - King of Fighters Sky Stage - included in the $20 package. Sky Stage isn't as cool a bonus as it seems, though - while the stage design is different from NeoGeo Heroes, the pared-down character roster and gameplay make it feel more like a beta for the main game. It also suffers from the same display and control problems as NGH, so if you're really interested in Sky Stage, you're best off buying it on XBLA.
NeoGeo Heroes has good things going for it – a great premise, fantastic boss encounters, and a load of extras for a very reasonable price. Frequently dull levels suck out a lot of the charm, however, and the game's biggest selling point – SNK nostalgia – is completely underutilized. In the end, NeoGeo Heroes feels like a fun idea executed merely adequately instead of spectacularly.

Editor B Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pmShe's got a bee costume, which she was delighted to wear to Ghosts in the Oaks last week. She'd probably be even more excited about an owl costume — have I mentioned her interest in owls? — but bee is what she's got. She likes bees too. Bzzzz.
Michael Homan Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 5:47 pmI think she is pooping in her pants during that shot. I think you are mistaking "cute" for a pressured colon that has found relief.
Michael Homan Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 5:48 pmBut yeah, of course it's cute in the end, even if we differ on the origin of the expression.
Editor B Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 9:43 pmHeh. Y'know I almost didn't post becuz I thought someone might think she was pooping or holding her bladder. She's not actually — she's in the act of sitting down with hands on knees, and she's totally smiling for the camera cuz she now understands the idea of having her picture taken — but I have to admit it looks that way, and let's face it, at her age it's not a bad guess. And I'm glad to know I can count on my friends to go there.

Google's Ray Kurzweil predicts how the world will change
Ray Kurzweil is sitting in an office in San Francisco's tallest building overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Over 45 minutes, speaking rapidly in monotone sentences dense with facts and ideas, Google's director of engineering has outlined a future for the world that would seem incredible, were it not that this man has a 30-year track record of making seemingly bonkers predictions that have proved to be accurate. Among other things, Kurzweil predicted that the internet would become central to our lives when it was still a niche and unreliable network in the Eighties; he pinpointed when computers would be able to beat humans at chess, eight years before the world champion Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM's Deep Blue; and he foresaw the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Kurzweil doesn't just foretell the future, though — he is also responsible for helping to shape it. A maverick thinker who grew up in Queens, New York, the son of a Jewish conductor and artist, he wrote his first computer program in 1963 aged 15, went on to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was later inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, having created the world's first flatbed image scanner, the first music synthesizer capable of re-creating orchestral instruments, and the world's first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind (the first of which was bought by Stevie Wonder, beginning an enduring friendship between the two men).
One of his current projects is the Google Brain. Working with a young generation of artificial intelligence wizards, he confidently predicts that by 2029 the company will have successfully created a computer system capable of understanding natural language and human emotion. "Right now a kid in Africa with a smartphone can access all of human knowledge, something that the President of the United States could not do even 16 years ago," he says. "And that sort of rapid progress is only going to continue exponentially."
Larry Page, Google's CEO, has also got Kurzweil moonlighting on another of his little pet projects — "solving death". He is an adviser at the company's ambitious new Calico venture, which aims to find a cure for ageing. The solution can't come quickly enough for the 65-year-old, who is personally pursuing immortality. A man who is so excited by the possibilities of life that he never wants it to end, he takes 150 vitamins a day with the aim of extending his life until technology has reached a point that we can implant nanobots in our bodies to back up our immune systems. And after that? "We'll get to a point where we can actually back up our brains to the cloud," he says "We routinely back up our phones and notebook computers, but we don't yet back up the most important information we have, which is our memories and skills, our personality."
Sounds bonkers? Well, just wait until you read what else he thinks is around the corner . . .
2017: Self-driving cars
"Google self-driving cars have gone half a million miles without human drivers on highways and city streets, with no incidents. Within ten years they will be ubiquitous. Humans have a fairly narrow field of view, these cars have sensors, both visual and laser, and artificial intelligence to be able to assess what's going on in their environment. Ultimately these cars will communicate with each other and co-ordinate their movements. You also won't need to own a car, there'll be a pool of them circulating, and you'll just call one from your phone when you need it."
2018: Personal assistant search engines
"Right now, search is based mostly on looking for key words. What I'm working on is creating a search engine that understands the meaning of these billion of documents. It will be more like a human assistant that you can talk things over with, that you can express complicated, even personal concerns to. If you're wearing something like Google Glass, it could annotate reality; it could even listen in to a conversation, giving helpful hints. It might suggest an anecdote that would fit into your conversation in real time."
2020: Switch off our fat cells
"It was in our interest a thousand years ago to store every calorie. There were no refrigerators, so you stored them in the fat cells of your body, which now means we have an epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Thanks to the Human Genome Project, medicine is now information technology, and we're learning how to reprogram this outdated software of our bodies exponentially. In animals with diabetes, scientists have now successfully turned off the fat insulin receptor gene. So these animals ate ravenously, remained slim, didn't get diabetes, and lived 20 per cent longer. I would say that this will be a human intervention in five to ten years, and we will have the means of really controlling our weight independent of our eating."
2020: Click and print designer clothes at home
"Currently there is a lot of overenthusiasm about 3-D printing. Typically where people are prematurely very excited it leads to disillusionment and a bust, like the dot.com crash. I think we're about five years away from the really important applications. By the early 2020s we'll be replacing a significant part of manufacturing with 3-D printing. We'll be able to print out clothing and there'll be an open source market of free designs. There will be personal 3-D printers, but also shared ones in your local Starbucks, for example."
2023: Full-immersion virtual realities
"Computer games have pioneered virtual reality, and within ten years — but probably more like five — these will be totally convincing, full-immersion virtual realities, at least for the visual and auditory senses, and there will be some simulation of the tactile sense. To fully master the tactile sense we have to actually tap into the nervous system. That will be a scenario within 20 years. We'll be able to send little devices, nanobots, into the brain and capillaries, and they'll provide additional sensory signals, as if they were coming from your real senses. You could for example get together with a friend, even though you were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, and take a virtual walk on a virtual Mediterranean beach and hold their hand and feel the warm spray of the moist air in your face."
2030: Vertical meat and vegetable farms
"There will be a new vertical agriculture revolution, because right now we use up a third of the usable land of the world to produce food, which is very inefficient. Instead we will grow food in a computerised vertical factory building (which is a more efficient use of real estate) controlled by artificial intelligence, which recycles all of the nutrients so there's no environmental impact at all. This would include hydroponic plants, fruits and vegetables, and in vitro cloning of meat. This could also be very healthy — we could have meat with Omega-3 fats instead of saturated fats, this sort of thing."
2033: 100 per cent of our energy from solar
We are applying new nanotechnologies to the design of solar panels, and the costs are coming down dramatically. A recent report by Deutsche Bank said that 'the cost of unsubsidised solar power is about the same as the cost of electricity from the grid in India and Italy. By 2014 even more countries will achieve solar grid parity'. So I do believe that within 20 years we could get all our energy from solar energy. I presented this not so long ago to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was actually my classmate at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and he said: "Ray, do we have enough sunlight to do this with?" and I said: "Yes, we've got 10,000 times more than we need."
2040: Stay young for ever
"Twenty years from now, we will be adding more time than is going by to your remaining life expectancy. We've quadrupled life expectancy in the past 1,000 years and doubled it in the past 200 years. We're now able to reprogram health and medicine as software, and so that pace is only going to continue to accelerate. There are three bridges to life extension. Bridge 1 is taking aggressive steps to stay healthy today, with today's knowledge. The goal is to get to bridge 2: the biotechnology revolution, where we can reprogram biology away from disease. Bridge 3 is the nanotechnology revolution. The quintessential application of that is nanobots — little robots in the bloodstream that augment your immune system. We can create an immune system that recognises all disease, and could be reprogrammed to deal with new pathogens."
The future of travel
Dominic Harrison, director of global trends at Future Foundation
Climate-change tourism
People already travel to places such as Cuba to go and see a Communist state before Castro dies, and there are tours to North Korea. What we expect to start seeing is travel to places such as the Amazon rainforest for a last peek at the wonders of nature, or the Alps to check out the glaciers for the last time. Disappearing planet — see it before it goes.
Try before you buy
We are increasingly planning holidays meticulously before we leave, and we term this "the end of adventure". There are apps such as Hyperlapse on Google Street View, or Shnergle, which allows individuals to "check out a place you're interested in visiting in near real time to help you decide if you want to go".
Future of food
Dr Morgaine Gaye, food futurologist
Condiment explosion
The range, variety and provenance of condiments is going to develop hugely next year. They will even become foods in their own right. Vinegar is set to become the non-alcoholic drink of choice, in hedgerow flavours with an artisan twist. On the back of the popularity of wasabi, mustard varieties are going to gain complexity and nuance, and will become a commonplace flavouring in a wider variety of unlikely foods and desserts.
Michelin-starred insects
Currently a fun food fad, insects will become mainstream in about 2016, firstly being used discreetly to create other foods, such as meat sauces, nut replacements and burgers or sausages. Mini-livestock (insects) are already becoming more popular as countries begin to embrace the possibilities of entomophagy, most notably the Netherlands, where it has been pioneered by Wageningen University, which started promoting insects as food in the 1990s.
Future of fashion
Suzanne Lee, fashion futurologist and founder of BioCouture
Digital fashion
Laboratories such as London's Studio XO are creating extraordinary outfits for the likes of Lady Gaga and driving tech into the fashion mainstream. Their digital mermaid bra for Azealia Banks was studded with hundreds of Swarovski crystals and LEDs, which diffracted light, animating the crystals in time to the music. Other fashion tech labels, including CuteCircuit, sell LED T-shirt dresses that react to the wearer's movement, others receive and display tweets in real time. Expect your clutch purse to be Facebooking soon.
Grow your own clothes
We are beginning to get living organisms like mammalian cells, bacteria, fungi and algae to grow materials for us. At my company Biocouture we are busy growing material from bacteria for a skirt that will be exhibited in Selfridge's next month. Modern Meadow, a spin-off of a US-based tissue engineering company, is aiming to produce cultured leather handbags by 2015.
British cultural trends
Lucie Greene, LS:N Global editor
Rise of the Amortals
Our population is ageing, but far from being a burden on the economy, Sarah Harper at the Oxford Institute of Ageing believes that the age of retirement is becoming meaningless, because people have to work much longer. This later stage in life will become the exciting third age, and it will transform the way we think about our careers and plan our families.
Slash-slash career paths
Traditional career paths aren't open to millennials so they're making money using things such as Airbnb, eBay, or the new websites StyleOwner and Nuji, which allow you to create your own virtual shopfront of your favourite things, like Pinterest, and if anything is sold you get a payment. They can rent out their rooms, and market their taste.

That would b very nice and interesting development.May God help you.
Amazing knowledge from God's infinite intelligence.The all powerful omniscience God will always make a way for humanity.
You think God had anything to do with our recent advances in mankind? It kills me to see the good of man attributed to God, but the problems we cause are all our own. Was it God's infinite intelligence to cause the radiation to spill out of Fukushima in Japan. I'd like to see a prediction when atheism will overtake religion.
Great. Heaven on earth. A real time prophet. Not Olabayo or Ayodele.
What we see and hear of Kurzweil is a well informed projection of a future 'whose' trajectory he is also actively shaping.
It's a very scientific approach to foretelling and going by his track record, I think most of them 'shall come to pass.' -
Whoa, whoa, whoa… "the age of retirement is becoming meaningless, because people have to work much longer???" Why the blazes would I want to spend 100 + years WORKING? It better be a damn good job!
I believe these and even more great things are going to rapidly unfold for mankind , You see we are created by God , in Gods image and God is a creator, a creator of all. therefore we are also creators here on earth , He says in his word that he would give us dominion over the earth. How did God create ? he thought of what he wanted , spoke the words, and it happened , that's the same with us on earth, think long enough on anything and meditate and speak it mix I with faith and it will happen. But remember the old testament , all through it , it tells you to remember God , put him first in all your ways, and he will give you your hearts desires. And if you don't he will bring the perils in his word down on you, whether you are a individual or a nation. God Bless us all.
Honestly, what does this article have to do with religion? It is as if those heavily involved with religion can only understand the world through the thick filter of it's teachings – and no further. As amazing as these predictions are for the planet, we all must realize that the majority of our citizens worship a deity. This is no different than the ancient Greeks worshiping Zeus. Any great progress of humanity must be tempered with this sad realization.
I remember the Old Testament. Especially the positive portrayals of genocide, slavery and rape.
I really like this article , Thank you.
Great to see these ideas increasingly well represented in other domains.
Ray has long been a highly decorated inventor and thought leader. And his association with the visionary founders of Google is exciting as thier synergies will contribute to great achievements and to eventually normalize these ideas into mainstream expectations.
Please, all that talk about God…
just because it is all full of bullsh*t doesn't mean that God has anything to with it. -
I cannot understand what God has to do with this. Unless the commentator about god read a different article, I found nothing in this one related to God almighty and let us praise the Lord song. The above is a 100% man made: Thought, created, executed and tested by men… God help us where the human mind will take us…
In old times jews people use the almighty to prophesize about the future …the world followed them.
In this modern time jews people use science to prophesize about the future….the world is following them.
Astonishingly at both times the centeral prophecy is about living forever…will the world know the real truth behind all these? -
Wow ..reading this I felt like taking a sneak peek into the future and this gives hell lot of opportunities to Entreprenuers
This is a tech story of a well informed tech kid. It lacks a lot of real world issues, that will influence all these predictions, even when they all happen. There will be a counter movement, real people in real nature (screw virtual reality) There will be virtual reality addiction and increasing masses of crazy managers, thinking online buttons can replace reality, when you make decisions. Pain and suffering and damage to real nature we'll lose contact with, will happen even more. A Technosink (when technical advancement overlooks side effects and collapses into new problems) may happen. Can you also imagine when a old rich guy only getting richer by doing nothing lives forever and has way more power than some poor people living way shorter?? Lots of science fiction books talk about that, and they are very often not so happy times, for the less priviliged. Einstein and Opperheimer were sorry for helping to create the bomb. This guy should start thinking the same thing: what is he unleashing, that he'd better not? What will be the consequences???
The promise of each new invention has always been also the introduction of real new problems and dangers. Think possibility AND danger and then act. -
i think we will destroy ourselves first!!

I don't know where Longmont is, but would never want to live any where near Denver. Every place I have been has bumper to bumper traffic, even stopping on the expressway.

It is a beautiful area and close to so many activities as well as art, history, small unique shopping and eateries. You have a wealth of different home options. It has been a while since there, but traffic isn't an issue unless on Freeways. And even then, so close to WY the traffic is not what Denver or heading to ski is like. Agree, check the site to get more info and google land maps for an idea of environment around. All depends upon reason for moving there. |

Hoth in LEGO, Now With Tauntauns [Empire Strikes Back]
You can make just about anything from Lego, but it takes a special sort of hard-working soul to build something as painstakingly authentic as this recreation of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back. With Lego bricks, custom figures, LEDs and creativity, Echo Base lives to be attacked again.
It's not all Lego bricks and minifigs, of course; some things had to be constructed by hand from other materials, like the tauntaun and the turrets, and I'm pretty sure there's not a bacta tank playset. Though, really, there should be.
You can see the progression of the project at Flickr, along with a few lonely shots of what looks like another Star Wars project, though one inspired by the later trilogy. Nothing on the scale of Hoth, however, which is elaborate and enormous — with plenty of photos showing off the details, from the beginning until now.
What is it about Star Wars that inspires such incredible Lego creations? Whatever it is, keep 'em coming, and check out the rest of the pictures from brickplumber's diorama. There are tons, and they're all worth a look.

Comments (4):
Legos have come so far since I was a kid. I used to love doing Legos when I was younger and now they are just more intriguing.
EVERYTHING in that diorama is made of lego bricks, from the turrets (round bricks and radar dishes) to the at-ats, falcon, and snowspeeders (don't know if those are custom designs or the official release sets) to the bacta tank (two hemispherical window parts) to the mountain of ice itself (a lot of white bricks). the taun-tauns are lego, from one of the hoth sets, they use the same embedded saddles as the old castle theme horses.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/23575410@N05/4374280746/besides, if you think this is excessive, you should see the half-scale six foot tall lego orthanc. dude had to mail-order bulk black bricks to finish it.
