The Brewers' Cut series has produced many fine beers and Nøkken is the first one that we have migrated to Mysterium Verum. Our Blonde Barleywine was aged in American oak barrels, formerly containing red wine and white port, and aged for 11 months. Nøkken is a strong, yet very drinkable ale. The beer starts with subtle notes of caramel, quickly yielding to a more prominent vanilla, tangerine and passionfruit character, and finishing clean with a dry, almost peppery finish. You will find it hard to resist the allure of this new Mysterium Verum offering.
"The Devil's Share"
What do the angels leave behind? Obviously the Devil's Share, the barrel aged version of our hallowed brew, Devil's Backbone. Ten months of aging in American oak and Hill Country terroir offer a tipple much different than what the angels were sampling. Subtle notes of caramel and vanilla from the barrel make this beer noticeably different than its parent beverage. If you see this fine ale on tap, make sure to get your share.

Sadistically Sweet - Fairytales
He is mad over how Haitlin is using classic fairy tales and inferring him as the "big bad wolf" and rumpelstiltskin. With the way she tells the stories, she is putting herself in the shoes of the heroine and him as the evil man who tries to take away her happiness. The wolf tried to kill Red, Rumpel tried to back the girl into a corner and get her first born, and Francis has kidnapped Haitlin and taken her away from her happiness. In essence, she is calling him out for being evil, and doing so in front of his own daughter none the less.

Music Video: (Charles)Book&Record "Pointing South"
Music // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
In case you were recently perusing photos of this last Halloween and feeling nostalgic about pseudo-creepiness and absurd get-ups, there are ways to bring yourself back to that time. If you are a fan of fine literature, an Edgar Allan Poe a short story is a perfect solution. If you prefer music videos, then this one provided by (Charles)Book&Record can potentially satiate your need.
The Works of Leah Yerpe
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
We caught the work of Brooklyn-based Leah Yerpe on Booooooom yesterday, and then we spent a good amount of time exploring all the works she had on her site. Charcoal drawings, big and small, paintings too, Yerpe captures a fleeting, dreamlike experience of floating and flying, powerful in its simplicity.
Blu + Ericailcane in Bari, Italy
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
With several collaborations in the past, artists Blu and Ericailcane once more combined efforts to create a wonderful piece on what used to be a school in Bari, Italy. The buildings collective "Socrate Occupato" is now home to around 60 immigrated refugees. The two artists worked with the themes of migration and pilgrimage. A detailed flooded city was painted by Blu, while an arc with animals seeking refuge for their crossing was painted by Ericailcane.
New Works from Smithe
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
As you can probably tell, we have a mini-obsession with Mexico City-based Smithe these days. A mixture of nostalgic, vintage illustrative style and a bit of the grotesque and absurd make for a beautiful combination, and Smithe is one of the best at the moment. Here is a look at some new music posters and graphic illustrations the artist has completed recently.
Sonia and Mark Whitesnow: Regina Hair
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
The subject of this photoseries by Sonia and Mark Whitesnow looks something like a sexy Cousin It. Stark and minimal, the photos play off of which parts of the body are concealed and which ones by contrast seem even more revealed. The Whitesnows live and work in Russia. Self-proclaimed 'multifaceted artists', they use 'natural materials as well as modern technologies.'
The Works of ONEQ
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Japanese illustrator ONEQ melds Japanese and American art styles in her manga-inspired works. Her hyper-saturated portraits of voluptuous women take a cue from a number of influences, from Japanese pop artist Rockin' Jelly Bean to American comic artist Simon Bisley. ONEQ lives and works in Kumamoto, Japan.
Review: 'The Shroud Opaque' @ Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery in Oakland, CA
Illustration // Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Old Norse: Conor Harrington in Vardo, Norway
Street Art // Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Our December 2012 cover artist, Conor Harrington, was in Vardo, Norway earlier this year, painting incredibly impressive murals around town for Komafest. Luckily for we readers and fans who were not able to make it up near the North Pole, Andrew Telling filmed a beautiful piece documenting Harrington's trip and the surrounding area. Watch Old Norse after the jump...
Opening: Tiffany Bozic "Transformation" @ Joshua Liner Gallery, NYC
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, November 13, 2012
After Sandy, one of the largest and fiercest storms to menace the East Coast, galleries re-open their doors and we attend the opening reception of San Francisco based artist Tiffany Bozic, at Joshua Liner Gallery. Her show called Transformation, reminds us a peculiar and colorful Nature where its elements kindly create an unexpected harmony.
Music Video: Tame Impala "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"
Music // Tuesday, November 13, 2012
One of the best albums of 2013 has to be Tame Impala's Lonerism, a mix of psychedelic, experimental pop that has been playing in this writer's house for weeks now. The video for one of the album's best tracks, "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards," is exactly what it sounds like: a psychedelic collage of beautiful colors.

Plein Air Workshops
The focus of the instruction will be very comprehensive, starting with equipment, preparation, and set up of tools. My near thirty years of experience as an illustrator and painter will help explain the structure and emphasis on drawing, value and composition. It's my goal to help students fully understand the process of composing a painting. Atmosphere, color, design and brushwork will be emphasized throughout the workshop experience. Each day I will do a demo describing my technique and process along the way. Both one-on-one critiques at the easel and group discussions will be held daily. My influences, both historical and contemporary, will be part of our conversation over the course of the workshop. I hope that each participant can become more visually aware and have a more solid foundation in a relaxed and positive environment.
A list of suggested supplies along with directions will be sent out upon sign-up.
Workshops, 2014
Point Reyes Field Institute, Nov. 7-9
Come paint in beautiful Point Reyes National Seashore. This three day, two night workshop at Clem Miller Environmental Education Center near Limantour Beach will be exciting and fun. We will drive to a couple different locations depending on the weather. This unique setting in West Marin, from the cliffs and rocky shores of the Pacific to Pierce Point Ranch offers some of the most dramic scenes in all of California.
Costs, $320.00 members, $350.00 non-members

5 RemarkableRocketMan86 | 25/11/2010 | See all RocketMan86's reviews (11)When I first saw the trailer for this film I wanted to see it, based on a true story it is remarkable how these some may call far fetched events are actually true. Like in Catch Me If You Can the lead character is very clever and quick thinking, which provides the viewer with a Wow feeling. The film has everything hysterics, emotion and of course a good love story. If you like Jim Carrey or a fan of Catch Me If You Can then this is the film for you!
5 another great carey filmhamster86 | 01/05/2011 | See all hamster86's reviews (59)i love this film its really funny and jim carey and ewan mcgregger are brilliant in this. The ending was brilliant if you're a jim carey fan you wont be dissappointed.
5 Such a good film!missdot | 25/03/2011 | See all missdot's reviews (2)Jim Carery never failed to make you laugh. Such a good story and well acted. Very funy and sweet.
5 Interesting Filmmass4effect | 20/10/2010 | See all mass4effect's reviews (20)When this first started playing i thought this might be a bad film, but when you watch it all - it in fact is a clever film. The story could have been a bit better but its well worth the money.I would gladly watch this again.
5 A little gemwooossh | 08/09/2010 | See all wooossh's reviews (1)I'm not a huge Jim fan (sorry) and prefer less facial expressions. So I watched this with some intrepidation. What a surprise. This is an odd film and yet the funniest I have seen in ages. The unusual story line, based on a true story I understand, had me doubting I'd enjoy it to begin with, and I roared with laughter through out although not sure because I was shocked and not expecting the content or because it was genuinely funny - both probably. You really must see this film.....

6 Actors That Should Probably Not Watch Their Own Movies

Stress doesn't belong within Calm Moments Spa's walls. Here, aestheticians, technicians, and therapists bring clients to states of relaxation with a variety of soothing treatments. The massage therapists incorporate flowing Swedish strokes or focused, deep-tissue pressure as they knead away at knotted muscles, even using aromatherapy oils or hot stones to accentuate the therapeutic benefits and put minds at ease. To take years off the skin's appearance, the aestheticians perform age-defying facials that utilize acid peels and oxygen masks. For a more drastic and technological approach, they also employ microdermabrasion wands and high-frequency radio waves to quell blemishes such as wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars.
Owner Ali Bourgault's signature deep-tissue and energy-balancing massage is a sample of the services offered at A Healing Vibration. After softening recalcitrant muscles with a blend of deep-tissue and Swedish massage kneads, Ali targets deeper problems, recalibrating bodily energies with a multipart regimen that includes reiki, polarity therapy, a foot soak, and a chakra clearing. Bourgault—a licensed massage therapist who has received certification for holistic massage and deep-tissue therapy from Spa Tech Institute—employs this blend of traditional and unorthodox techniques to help alleviate her clients' pain, stress, and fatigue. To complement her holistic ways, she also makes dream catchers, jewelry, and skincare products that are crafted from natural and organic ingredients whenever possible.
From their studio in historic downtown Concord, Intuitive Touch's three veteran massage therapists banish back-bound kinks and ease guests into deep relaxation. Getting The Hippo's nod for best massage therapist of 2013, owner Stephanie Waters takes the leads with specialized training in healing arts both traditional and unique. Her arsenal of massage modalities even includes ashiatsu oriental bar therapy, which finds her applying deep pressure to backs with her feet while holding onto ceiling-mounted bars. Other relaxing options include energy-channeling Reiki and reflexology, which uses foot massage to relax other parts of the body by proxy.
Veronica Kerr began competing in beauty pageants and modeling competitions at age 11. She attended modeling school and then pursued a degree in fashion, but for want of a more client-focused career, she took up massage and became a licensed aesthetician. Enter Spa Specialist Beauty Within, a convergence of Veronica's experiences and education. Here, Veronica offers a slew of massage treatments such as Swedish, deep-tissue, and prenatal modalities, the latter a nourishing treatment for expecting mothers. Using all-natural and organic products, she also utilizes her aesthetician's license to conduct facials, mani-pedis, and waxing.
Divine Skin Care's licensed aesthetician, Debby Farley, has 30 years of industry experience, which she calls upon when administering chemical peels, facials, and skincare treatments that combat everything from acne to signs of aging. Facials bolster clients' complexions with nourishing blends of vitamins and hydrating treatments, and microdermabrasion treatments help stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles.

Follow The Strokes
Just popping in to say hello.
Hey everyone,
Long time no see (according to this thing, it's been over a year since I logged in. Holy hell)
Some of you might remember me, most of you probably don't- but Sam (ghettopinkchickn) and I were going through old pictures/videos/e-mails/internet shit together the other day and the topic of this MB and all the crazy shenanigans came up. It's kind of hard to believe that it'll be almost ten years since I first logged in here in a few months.
I'm checking in on her behalf and on mine, of course. Hope everyone (old and new members alike) are doing well. We're just ducky here. :)
And for Strokes-related purporses, it's nice to see Julian isn't fat anymore.

28th – 30th October, Munich, Germany — Europe Yatra 2010
For more than 20 years, Amma has been visiting Munich, the capital city of Bavaria, and the third largest city in Germany. Its native name, München, is derived from the Old High German 'Munichen,' meaning 'By the monks' place.'
Long before the program started, devotees from all over Germany gathered outside the hall, eagerly awaiting Amma's arrival. Their reception of Amma was heartfelt and enthusiastic.
The devotees presented traditional music performances throughout the three days of programs.

What do you think of the
Hoven The One Sunglasses
? Share a...
My husbands favorite!
I bought these for my husband for Christmas ! They weren't his 1st pair, "he says his 4th"! The last pair were the exact same ones and they lasted 5 years! Talk about dedicated! When they broke he refused to buy a different brand!
Anyway, he loves them and his next pair will be the same ones!
Matt Waugh
Hoven "The One" shades
Fit kinda big, but otherwise, solid shades. They look great and the price is awesome. And with a free gift, what more do you need?
These shades are fukin dope!!! Makes you wanna punch ur mom in the face jus cuz these shades will hype you up!!! I highly recommend these!!
559 super sk8r
well what can i say these shades are cool there very stylsh and comfortable the colors are sweet so i would go out and buy a pair now
Jer D
My first pair of quality sunglasses
I'm not too familiar with shade brands, so I've never heard of Hoven before. But after this purchase, I must say I am impressed with their value and quality of products. These shades are really stylish and have an expensive feel to them, but are still very affordable. The lens look more square-ish than the picture shows. The only con I could find is that I have a big head, and these shades have to stretch a bit to fit right. Oh, and the free bandana gift is pretty bad a**!

I have a big head and glasses are to find that fit good these one are pretty kick ass!

The Shredder chess program for Linux
Shredder 9 promises world championship chess on your home computer. We took a look at the new Linux version of the famous Shredder chess tool.
B its and bytes are now a common part of the chess world: big-iron mainframes can even force a tie out of a grandmaster, and world champions like Gary Kasparow use chess computers to "do their homework."
In the past, Linux users who were interested in playing chess had fewer options than Windows users, and most of the available Linux chess programs assumed a fair amount of technical prowess (see the "Linux and Chess" box). The arrival of Shredder 9 for Linux is a great new opportunity for Linux users to explore the possibilities of computer chess.

Can anyone help me figure out which type of magnolia this is? It was planted by the previous owners of my house. I love it, but can't figure out which type it is. FYI, this picture was taken last year. The tree has not bloomed yet this year. It should be starting in about 2 weeks. |

amy, yours is one of the Magnolia liliiflora, I believe. Magnolia soulangeana is a different magnolia. A famous series of flowering magnolias called 'the little girl' collection are all M. liliiflora. I can't remember all of the names, but Jane and Ann come to mind. It seems to be awfully close to the house. These are small magnolias, but not that small. |
magnolia Jane or Anne |
Thanks everyone! Know what's super weird? My mother's name is Jane Anne! It is close to the house, but is at least three feet away from the foundation on each side. |

The partnership between SC Johnson and BMGF will also support a research study conducted by a consortium of Indonesian research institutions led by Hasanuddin University, under the guidance of Dr. Din Syafruddin, to demonstrate the effects of consumer products in repelling malaria-infected mosquitoes in Indonesia. Funding will come from BMGF with in-kind personnel and product resources from SC Johnson.
Based on the outcomes of these studies, SC Johnson will evaluate potential development of next generation products that are effective in the fight against malaria. These multi-year research/implementation programs are slated to begin in early 2010.

President Barack Obama's job approval is dropping as the government shutdown drags on.
According to a recent AP/Gfx poll, only 37 percent of Americans approve of the way the president is doing his job, and 53 percent disapprove.
Nevertheless, Republicans are being blamed for the government shutdown by a 2-1 margin.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have taken a huge hit from the mess in Washington, with both at 18 percent job approval.
Congress overall has just a 5 percent approval rating.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- People shelling out thousands of dollars to heat their homes with propane may finally get some relief.
Lawmakers could add another $20 million into heating assistance programs for low income families.
Money would come from the Department of Commerce general fund. If it doesn't happen, the program will expire before winter is over.
"Those people who need the most heating assistance will be left without any options available to them after March 10th," said democratic representative Joe Radinovich.
The price of propane has drastically fluctuated this winter. It peaked around $6 a gallon, then fell into the $3 range.
It was $1.50 last fall. About 250,000 Minnesota homes use propane.

True to the goal of this blog, the following is somewhat disturbing and gruesome. However, it happened and it is part of our experience. We write so that others may learn from our mistakes, to educate and talk about the ills of the industrial food compex. I never wanted to get into the animal side of farming because I have always been squeamish about mortality. It did not matter the cause or the reason, I did not want to be part of dealing with mortality.
As I have documented here this is one of those things that growing up in rural America would have helped me. Nevertheless, I grew up in the city and it was not commonplace to process or need to dispose of an animal.
We started meat birds this year. In order for them to be organic, you must take possession of them by their second day of life. Covered in fur they are the cutest things. No feathers on them, maybe a little wing tip showing but predominately furry. Then there is all the time spent with them to get them past the Coccidiosis stage.
We decided because of last year's BMSB losses that broilers had to be incorporated into our farm model. It was not a decision that was taken lightly and not without an amount of anguish.
We are into our ninth week of raising fifty broilers. Well we started with fifty. At my own hands, I accidentally drug the pen over top of some of the birds killing them. I cannot describe the feelings, thoughts and utter dismay that I caused. All I can say is at the point that I saw the damage; I did not have the proper perspective to feel anything other than raw emotional pain and revoltion. I got sick to my stomach, failure blares out and then guilt for what the birds went through. I know they only have two more weeks to live but at that instant, it does not matter. This is just another one of those no mercy times.
There was no mercy for the chickens and no mercy for it was at my own hands. I can live with my failures; I have made enough of them such that I am comfortable. However, these kinds of mistakes have a different affect on me then most others. This one has caused a lot of angst and anger; I am supposed to be their protector, until they are processed. Yes, they are raised to be processed I understand the paradox. It bothers me but I have to make mysef understand.
I want so very much to succeed at this, not only because I am goal driven, but I love working the soil, growing fruits and vegetables, creating a complete meal from things I have grown and knowing that what we do benefits others, future generations and the environment. I put my heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into this place and I want to remain humane. I do not want to become desensitized to the lives of animals on our farm. You can say all you want about it being business and not taking it personal but those thoughts are not our motivations.
I put all the dead chickens in the compost pile and thanked them for being a part of our lives. I told them that we were returning them to the soil that once helped nourish them. I know it sounds utterly crazy but it was a way for me to make peace with the mistake I made and to acknowledge their sacrifice. It was a way for me to remind myself that we are humane.
That weekend I explained to the staff what had happened and what the new rules were for moving the chicken pens. In the mean time, fifty are in the barn ready to go out on pasture and fifty peeps are in the brooder.
So, we continue. I wish sometimes that the learning curve were just not so steep and emotionally draining.

PFA award: Liverpool's Suarez, Gerrard & Sturridge on shortlist
Liverpool trio Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge have been nominated for the Professional Footballers' Association's player of the year award.
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, winger Eden Hazard of Chelsea and Southampton playmaker Adam Lallana complete the list.
Sturridge and Hazard have also been nominated for the young player award, along with Liverpool's Raheem Sterling, Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, Everton's Ross Barkley and Southampton's Luke Shaw.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Sunday, 27 April.
PFA player of the year winners
2012-13: Gareth Bale (Tottenham)
2011-12: Robin van Persie (Arsenal)
2010-11: Gareth Bale (Tottenham)
2009-10: Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
2008-09: Ryan Giggs (Man Utd)
2007-08: Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Uruguay striker Suarez, 27, heads the Premier League scoring charts, netting 29 league goals for top-of-the-table Liverpool.
His strike partner Sturridge, 24, has scored 20 Premier League goals while captain Gerrard, 33, has contributed 13 goals and 11 assists for the free-scoring Reds.
Ivorian Toure, 30, is Manchester City's top league scorer with 18 goals from 31 appearances, while Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho acclaimed Hazard, 23, as "the best young player in the world" in February after the Blues' 1-0 win over City at Etihad Stadium.
Lallana, 25, has been the standout player for Southampton this season, and made his England debut against Chile in November.
His Saints team-mate Shaw, 18, made his international debut against Denmark last month and is vying with Chelsea's Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines of Everton for a place in England's World Cup squad.
Winger Sterling, 19, won his second England cap in the 1-0 friendly win over the Danes and scored Liverpool's first goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over title rivals Manchester City.
Wales international Ramsey scored 13 goals for Arsenal before a thigh injury in December forced the 23-year-old out of action for three months. He returned to the Gunners side in their defeat by Everton on 6 April.
Barkley, 20, earned his first senior England cap in a World Cup qualifier against Moldova last September and was recently called "a rare talent" by Everton manager Roberto Martinez.

BR has been talking garbage since day 1 & will continue whilst attempting to rise to the prominence of those before him (with the exception of Hodgson), that's just how he is & we'll accept this as long as he keeps improving our standings - he learnt from the master whilst at SBridge! Hopefully EH will be fit for CL only Sakho is fine & attack is the best form of defence! -

I have no anti Liverpool bias and have been a football fan for more than 50 years, loved the great Liverpool teams but Suarez as PFA player of the year would betray all of the advances that football has made over those years. Perhaps you are much younger and only see the smaller picture

18th April 2014 - 22:05357. dg; furymuff, I like Kompany but he had been shaky of late and not in a Stevens kind of way.
On a wider note, Liverpool's back 4 must be praying to god almighty that Eden Hazrad isn't fit for the title decider. He will expose just how bad that defence is. Rodgers obviously hasn't read the "defence" chapter in his managerial textbook. He has certainly read the "talk utter garbage" chapter

Andy Canino on sacrifice, honesty and confidence
Andy Canino started out with a basic tattooing kit and a natural talent for art. He figured out how to tattoo on his own, and has been tattooing professionally for almost a decade. He is now co-owner of Dedication Tattoo. Westword recently sat down with Canino, who talked about making sacrifices, being honest with himself and the importance of confidence. Andy Canino prefers traditional tattoos with strong lines and bold colors.
See also: Lorenzo Baca on Albuquerque, graffiti and being a perfectionist
Westword: How long have you been tattooing?
Andy Canino: I've been in a shop for about nine years now. I was tattooing prior to that out of my house, being one of those guys.
How did you get into tattooing? What drew you to the art form?
I started getting tattooed at sixteen up in Fort Collins. My godmother signed for me to get my first one. I just kept getting tattoos there and I kept asking a lot of questions. At one point, the guy I was getting tattooed by was like, "Hey, you're asking a lot of questions. Is this something you want to get into?" I'm like seventeen at the time, like, "Yeah, absolutely, man." He said to give him X amount of dollars and we would get me set up with everything I'd need. So I did, and he did, kind of. He got me the basics, though. I took it home, set it all up the best that I could, and realized I had no idea what I was doing. So I went back to talk to him and he was gone. He had essentially disappeared off the face of the planet. So I was stuck with all this tattoo gear and, being some dumb kid, I was like, "Well, I'll figure it out." Having roots in art my whole life -- my mom raised me to be an artist; she said, "Here's a crayon, figure out what to do with it" -- well, here's a tattoo machine, figure out what to do with it. So I did it to the best of my ability, a bunch of trial and error on myself and on my friends -- mostly error. I learned a lot of what not to do. Looking back on it, I'm surprised I made some of the tattoos that I did. But yeah, you know, here we are now. It worked out okay. It probably took longer that it should have, figuring out how to do everything, but I got the hang of it eventually.
What styles do you like to work in?
Preferentially, I like to do traditional stuff -- strong lines, black shading, dense color. But I like to do tattoos that look like tattoos. The first shop I worked at was more along the lines of a street shop, where people would come in and pick stuff off the walls. There was a lot on the walls to choose from in every style so, advantageously, that gave me the opportunity to expand my abilities as far as what kind of tattoos I can make. If someone comes in the door wanting a black-and-gray tattoo, I can do it. If someone wants Japanese style, I love doing Japanese stuff. It's a lot of fun. I would like to think I can accommodate most requests. But I try to stick with traditional as much as I can. A lot of my clients and return clients are typically getting traditional stuff from me. Mostly just tattoos that look like tattoos.

Saints choke as Reading roll on
Filed: Friday, 13th April 2012
By: Staff Writer
West Ham will be just three points away from the automatic promotion places should they beat Brighton at the Boleyn Ground tomorrow afternoon.
Reading's remarkable run continued at St Mary's this evening as they brushed aside Nigel Adkins' Southampton 3-1 - a result that takes the Royals three points clear at the top of the Championship table, despite having been under the cosh for the majority of the game.
The win means that Brian McDermott's side need just four points from their remaining three games to be absolutely certain of promotion to the Premier League - but it was a result that also gives West Ham a lifeline in the race for automatic promotion.
Southampton, who have led the table for most of the season are currently six points ahead of West Ham albeit having played a game more. And Sam Allardyce's side have the opportunity to halve that gap when they face the Seagulls at the Boleyn tomorrow afternoon.
The Saints, who were promoted from League One last season have now won just one of their last four fixtures, having been thrashed 3-0 at Blackpool on March 31st before conceding a last minute equaliser at home to deadly rivals Portsmouth that cost them a further two points.
Sandwiched between those games and tonight's defeat was a 2-0 win at a woefully out-of-form at Crystal Palace.
Unfortunately for West Ham, Southampton's superior goal difference - +34 compared to United's +25 - could yet be worth an extra point come the end of the season, meaning that two wins from their final three games of the season - away to Peterborough and Middlesbrough then at home to Coventry - will, bar a miracle, be enough to see them promoted.
However the Saints' recent disappointing form, combined with a win for West Ham against Brighton tomorrow could mean that their return to the Premier League is not quite the foregone conclusion it appeared to be just a week ago.

($70; 14% alcohol) Light, deep red. Knockout nose of floral red berries, red cherry syrup, coffee and minerals. Then suave, silky and plump, with harmonious acidity giving life and definition to the raspberry, plum and delicate licorice flavors. Features wonderful sweetness and pliancy, and finishes subtle and sophisticated, with a light coffee note. Better and more varietally accurate than the excellent '07.

Bush Administration Congress Executive Branch House Parties Public Policy Regulations Senate Taxes
News and Features
When Washington gets back to business, there will be squawking over presidential appointments. Before the Christmas recess, GOPers were charging Senate majority leader Tom Daschle and the Democrats with slow-walking on George W. Bush's executive branch and judicial appointments. By year's end, about 70 percent of the top 500 major executive branch positions had been filled--which is not slam-dunk ammunition for the Republicans' anti-Daschle campaign. But the delays of two nominations in particular have irritated Republicans: Otto Reich, nominated to be Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs; and Eugene Scalia, nominated to be Labor Department solicitor. Reich, an anti-Castro lobbyist, ran a State Department office during the Iran/contra affair that, according to a government investigation, "engaged in prohibited covert propaganda." Scalia, son of the Supreme Court Justice who greased Bush's slide into the White House, is a lawyer who represents management in labor disputes and is a harsh critic of ergonomics regulations; his nomination has drawn an outcry from labor. Senate Democrats, blocking the pair for reasons of policy and payback, have turned these two nominations into partisan controversies. But there are other nominees who warrant scrutiny.
§ Gerald Reynolds, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Department of Education. Reynolds, senior regulatory counsel at Kansas City Power and Light, is an avowed enemy of affirmative action. He has been affiliated with several conservative interest groups, including the Center for New Black Leadership and the Center for Equal Opportunity, which have waged war on affirmative action and minority set-asides. The position to which he was nominated enforces all discrimination laws covering the nation's public schools and universities. It also oversees Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs, including sports. Senator Ted Kennedy has raised "serious concerns" about Reynolds, and civil rights groups have assailed his views on affirmative action and his lack of education policy experience. "While we don't know the nominee's position on all of the issues that are important to Title IX, his very dogged opposition to affirmative action is very problematic for women and girls in education," says Marcia Greenberger, co-president of the National Women's Law Center.
§ Gaddi Vasquez, Director, Peace Corps. Vasquez, a prominent Latino GOP politico in California, resigned as Orange County supervisor in 1995, months after the county, having misled and defrauded buyers of more than $2.1 billion in risky municipal securities, filed the largest municipal bankruptcy in history. After resigning, he became vice president of public affairs for Southern California Edison. In 2000 he donated $100,000 to the Republican Party. Senator Barbara Boxer, a liberal California Democrat, has endorsed Vasquez, and every Latino member of the California Assembly, Democrats and Republicans, signed a letter supporting his nomination. But a group of outraged former Peace Corps volunteers has been lobbying against Vasquez, arguing that he has no experience in international humanitarian affairs or managing a large agency and that this is not a job for a political hack.
§ Rebecca Watson, Assistant Secretary for Land Management, Department of the Interior. As a partner in a Montana law firm, Watson has represented mining companies yearning to dig up more and more federal land. Previously, she worked for the American Forest and Paper Group, and five years ago she represented a Montana business group battling an initiative requiring mining companies to remove carcinogens from their discharges. Industry groups have hailed her nomination; environmentalists have decried it. "She is a corporate lackey, but she will fit in this Administration like a hand in a glove," says Jim Jensen of the Montana Environmental Information Center. According to Friends of the Earth, which has been campaigning against her, she represented Montana businesses (unsuccessfully) in a 1999 court case that challenged language in the state Constitution guaranteeing a clean and healthful environment.
§ Eve Slater, Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services. Before tagging her for this post, the Bush Administration contemplated nominating Slater, senior vice president for clinical research at Merck, the pharmaceutical giant, to be FDA commissioner. That rankled Senator Kennedy, who protested, "You don't want the fox guarding the chicken coop." The FDA job didn't materialize for Slater, but at HHS she will still have to deal with former industry colleagues.
§ Janet Hale, Assistant Secretary for Management and Budget, Department of Health and Human Services. In the 1980s, as a senior official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Hale was a second-tier figure in a HUD scandal that involved politically connected developers winning big-money contracts and favors from the department. The Wall Street Journal reported that while Hale held one of HUD's highest-ranking positions, she approved waivers of regulations that permitted the construction of a problematic project sought by the former law partner of HUD Secretary Samuel Pierce. Her predecessor quit rather than OK that deal. Hale initialed it and sent the politically wired contract ahead.
These nominations--most of which are for not-so-high-profile jobs--are unlikely to generate the sort of fire and thunder accompanying the Reich and Scalia tussles. But they add new details to the family portrait of a Bush Administration loaded with corporate-friendly and not-so-compassionate conservative appointees.
"Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes," George W. Bush cryptically proclaimed. The press dutifully translated what he really meant, but few commented on the tastelessness of a wartime leader with troops in the field saying he was willing to die for the cause of lower taxes for the wealthy.
Never mind. The President's speech had no high public purpose or occasion. It was a political document, intended to undercut Senate majority leader Tom Daschle's prescriptions for economic recovery the previous day; it had more to do with gearing up for the 2002 Congressional elections than with speeding up the economic recovery. Bush's riposte signaled that the not-so-great debate of '02 is on.
Besides standing foursquare against any tax hikes, Bush offered only the same prescription for economic recovery as he has in the past: Let those at the top of the heap keep more of what they've got. Despite a stratospheric approval rating and a nation united behind him, he reaffirmed his fealty to his corporate underwriters and offered tax cuts for the rich at a time of obscene inequality. His partisan posturing on the stimulus plan showed that he thinks the economy will recover on its own, leaving the swelling ranks of jobless folk on their own.
Although superior to Bush's package, Daschle's was securely in the lineage of Bill Clinton's efforts to be both fiscal conservative and compassionate centrist. It positioned Democrats to campaign, amid economic recession, as the hair-shirt party of "fiscal responsibility," blaming Bush's tax cuts for the vanished (and largely notional) budget surpluses and evoking public nostalgia for the giddy boom of the late 1990s, which actually began heading south before Bush came to town. Daschle's minimalist list of stimulus measures shows a party leader out of touch with real conditions who thinks this downturn is a nonthreatening event that will soon be over, just as the stock-market cheerleaders are forecasting. Wiser heads on Wall Street, however, warn that any recovery will be weak and perhaps transient.
Even if the recession proves less serious than feared, the Democrats should be advocating spending on badly needed long-term projects, from schools to railroads, while pushing for extended and expanded unemployment compensation and health insurance and aid to states hard hit by new national-security costs.
Along with this expansive agenda the Dems should overcome their timidity and make the case for repeal of the bulk of last year's Bush tax cuts, particularly those provisions that benefit the wealthiest Americans. Those cuts will do little to stimulate the economy (even if they operate as promised--a dubious assumption), since they don't take effect for another three to six years. Instead, by assuring a greater stream of revenue from those who can best afford to pay, the Democrats can help forestall inevitable GOP efforts to claim that social programs must be cut to allow for military needs, while at the same time providing funds to address housing, hunger and poverty.
Teddy Roosevelt, whose biography is on Bush's bedside table, may have been less a foe of the malefactors of great wealth than his rhetoric claimed, but he did espouse a progressive agenda of reform, which included antitrust, financial regulation, the eight-hour workday, even a living wage. And Franklin Roosevelt in 1944 outlined an economic bill of rights that would redeem wartime sacrifices and secure the gains in income of the working class. All Bush can come up with is a thank-you note for his campaign donors.
Bush says he'd take a thousand whacks
Before he'd let the income tax
Of all the richest people go back up.
Remember Daddy's tax-hike fix.
An old dog may not learn new tricks,
But demonstrates the flubbed ones to his pup.
Talk about the politics of class struggle. George W. Bush now is apparently willing to give his life to make the rich richer.
With little public notice and no serious debate inside the party, Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe and his allies have hatched a plan to radically alter the schedule and character of the 2004 Democratic presidential nominating process. If the changes McAuliffe proposes are implemented--as is expected at a January 17-19 meeting of the full DNC--the role of grassroots Democrats in the nomination of their party's challenger to George W. Bush will be dramatically reduced, as will the likelihood that the Democratic nominee will run the sort of populist, people-power campaign that might actually pose a threat to Bush's re-election.
The change, for which McAuliffe gained approval in November from the DNC rules subcommittee, would create a Democratic primary and caucus calendar that permits all states to begin selecting delegates on February 3, 2004. That new start-up date would come two weeks after the Iowa caucuses and just one week after the traditional "first in the nation" New Hampshire primary. Thus, the window between New Hampshire and the next primary--five weeks in 2000--would be closed. Already, says McAuliffe, South Carolina, Michigan and Arizona Democrats have indicated they will grab early February dates, and there is talk that California--the big enchilada in Democratic delegate selection--will move its primary forward to take advantage of the opening. McAuliffe's changes will collapse the nominating process into a fast-and-furious frenzy of television advertising, tarmac-tapping photo ops and power-broker positioning that will leave little room for the on-the-ground organizing and campaigning that might allow dark horse candidates or dissenting ideas to gain any kind of traction--let alone a real role at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
"What McAuliffe is doing represents a continuation of the shift of influence inside the Democratic Party from volunteer-driven, precinct-based grassroots politics to a cadre of consultants, hacks and Washington insiders," says Mike Dolan, the veteran organizer who ran voter-registration campaigns for the California Democratic Party before serving as national field director for MTV's "Rock the Vote" initiative. "This whole process of reshaping the party to exclude people at home from the equation has been going on for years, but this really is the most serious change we've seen. And it's an incredibly disturbing shift. It will increase the power of the consultants and the fundraisers. But it will also make it a lot harder to build the enthusiasm and volunteer base a candidate needs to win in November."
McAuliffe, who is riding high after playing an important role in securing Democratic wins in November 2001 races for the Virginia and New Jersey governorships, says reforms are needed to avoid long, intraparty struggles and allow a clear focus on the task of challenging Bush. With a wide field of Democratic senators, governors, representatives and a former Vice President positioning to run in 2004, he says, "We can't be going through the spring with our guys killing each other."
McAuliffe makes no secret of his desire to have Democrats mirror the Republicans' compressed nominating schedule-- which helped front-runner Bush dispatch the more appealing John McCain in 2000. He wants his party's 2004 nominee identified by early March. Then, the nominee-in-waiting can get down to the business of fundraising and organizing a fall campaign without having to march in Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parade, visit Wisconsin's dairy farms or jostle for a position on the stage of Ohio's union halls.
One problem with McAuliffe's theory is that history suggests that Democrats who beat sitting Republican Presidents usually do so following extended nomination fights. In 1976, for instance, almost three months passed between the Iowa caucus and the point at which a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention had been selected. That convention nominated Jimmy Carter, who went on to beat President Gerald Ford. The next Democrat to beat a Republican President, Bill Clinton, won his party's 1992 nod after a bruising primary season that saw him fighting Jerry Brown for New York votes two months after the delegate-selection process began.
A serious state-by-state fight for the party nod can force the eventual nominee to build grassroots networks in key states that withstand the media assaults of the fall; just think how things would have gone if Al Gore had developed better on-the-ground operations in states with solid labor bases, like Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio--any one of which could have provided the Electoral College votes needed to render Florida's recount inconsequential. Instead of recognizing the advantage Democrats gain when they tend the grassroots, however, former candidate Brown says McAuliffe appears to be steering the party toward a model that mirrors Republican approaches. "The process is evolving and it's changing so that it will be even harder to tell Democrats from Republicans," Brown says. "This means the Democrats will be defined more than ever by money and the centralized, Washington-based establishment that trades in money. The trajectory the party is on is not toward greater democracy, not toward more involvement at the grassroots. Rather, the trajectory will make it harder for the local to influence the national. A historic democratic influence on the process is being wiped out, and with it will go a lot of energy Democratic nominees have been able to rely on in the past."
Brown touches on another problem with McAuliffe's approach. In a party already badly warped by the influence of special-interest money and fundraising demands, the new schedule will greatly expand the influence of big money--and of Washington insiders like veteran fundraiser McAuliffe, who can move that money into accounts of "acceptable," if not particularly progressive, candidates. "Everyone agrees the financial demands on candidates will be even higher than in the past, given the breakneck pace at which the contests will unfold," explains Washington Post columnist David Broder.
That bodes well for the best-known candidates with the strongest fundraising networks, like former Vice President Al Gore and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, and also for well-heeled senators like Massachusetts' John Kerry and North Carolina's John Edwards. But low-budget, issue-driven campaigns, like those imagined by Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur of Ohio or outgoing Vermont Governor Howard Dean, will be even more difficult to mount. That, says former Democratic National Committee chairman Fred Harris, is bad news for the party and for progressive politics in America. "If you tighten up all the primaries at the start, it will limit the serious choices for Democrats to those candidates who are well-known or well-financed, or both. That takes away the range of choices, it makes the process less exciting and, ultimately, less connected to the grassroots," says Harris, a former senator and 1976 candidate for the presidency. "This really is a move in the wrong direction. The Democratic Party, to win, needs to be more democratic--not less."
Republican majority leader Dick Armey announced that he will retire from Congress, and Democrats are hoping that Tom DeLay will replace him.
Civil liberties get short shrift in this perilous time of antiterrorism measures.
The win in Virginia of Democrat Mark Warner is one sign of welcome political change.
In trying to avoid being seen as unpatriotic, they risk looking like lapdogs.
Battling the war
profiteers of World War I, Robert La Follette reminded America that
"wealth has never yet sacrificed itself on the altar of patriotism."
The progressive senator from Wisconsin was complaining about arms
merchants reaping excessive profits from the sale of weaponry in
1917. But La Follette's words echo with particular clarity in the
aftermath of terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon because of the rise of another form of war profiteering. In
an attempt to gain the upper hand in a fight they had been losing,
Bush Administration and Congressional supporters of fast track--or,
as supporters have renamed it, "Trade Promotion Authority"--were
telling Congress Daily within hours of the September 11
attacks that terrorist threats increased the need to grant Bush
authority to negotiate a NAFTA-style free-trade area from Tierra del
Fuego to the Tundra.
With each passing day, these policy
profiteers have pumped up the volume. Iowa Senator Charles Grassley,
the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, announced,
"Passing trade promotion authority for the President would send a
strong signal to the rest of the world that the United States is
ready, willing and able to lead." The Wall Street Journal
editorial page chirped about how "not everything has changed for the
worse since September 11. One garden at the skunk party has been the
emergence of new bipartisan momentum to expand free trade,
specifically something called 'Trade Promotion Authority.'" US Trade
Representative Robert Zoellick was everywhere preaching his
"Countering Terror With Trade" mantra, a campaign so aggressive it
left even Republicans scratching their heads. "I am not sure a trade
bill has anything to do with terrorism," said Ohio Republican
Congressman Bob Ney.
But Zoellick wasn't listening to
Republicans who warned that an aggressive push for fast track could
be the straw that breaks the back of the post-September 11
bipartisanship. Less than two weeks after the attacks, Zoellick
delivered a speech at the Institute for International Economics that
seemed to question the patriotism of fast-track foes. Members of
Congress "who know trade is the right thing to do are refusing to act
for rather narrow-interest reasons," the Bush aide declared, adding,
"Trade is about more than economic efficiency. It promotes the values
at the heart of this protracted struggle."
That was too
much for New York Congressman Charles Rangel, the ranking Democrat on
the House Ways and Means Committee. Rangel issued a scathing rebuke
to Zoellick's policy profiteering. "As a combat war veteran and as a
person whose city has been attacked and suffered devastating losses
as a result, I am offended by the strategy of the current United
States Trade Representative to use the tragedy in New York and at the
Pentagon to fuel political momentum behind a partisan fast-track
proposal," Rangel said, adding, "To have the USTR attack the
patriotism of Americans for their failure to support an unwritten,
undisclosed bill demands a public apology."
Zoellick's point man in the House, Bill Thomas, the California
Republican who chairs the Ways and Means Committee, claimed he had
consulted key Democrats about a move to push a bipartisan fast-track
compromise through the House, Rangel shot back that the Democrats in
question "have expressed to me in no uncertain terms that they do not
subscribe to this attempt to wrap the flag around any fast-track bill
in the wake of the September 11 attacks." Undaunted, Thomas said he'd
try to bring a bill to a floor vote by the second week of
Long before September 11, the debate over fast
track was destined to be intense. Bush, aided by major corporations,
had promised to pull out all the stops. But labor, environment and
human rights groups thwarted them by reminding Congress that since
the enactment of NAFTA in 1994, more than 355,000 US jobs (even by
the government's conservative estimate) have been lost. Small farms
have failed at a significantly increased rate, and environmental and
worker safety protections have been undermined at home and abroad.
"If the Administration had the votes for fast track, before September
11 or after, we would have had a vote. They still don't have the
votes, but they're trying everything to come up with them," says
Patrick Woodall, research director for Public Citizen's Global Trade
Zoellick and Thomas are hardly the only policy
profiteers. The threat of war and recession has inspired plenty of
moves to wrap unappealing agendas in the bunting of patriotism.
School-prayer and flag-protection amendments are being elbowed onto
the antiterrorist agenda, while Attorney General John Ashcroft pushed
hard to win approval of dusted-off proposals to curtail immigrants'
rights, expand electronic surveillance and allow use of intelligence
gathered by foreign governments in US courts [see Bruce Shapiro, "All
in the Name of Security," page 20]. Playing the patriotism card in
support of Ashcroft, GOP Senate leader Trent Lott warned the
Democrats that in the event of another attack, "people are going to
wonder where have you been in giving the additional tools that are
needed to, you know, find these terrorists and avoid plots that may
be in place."
Bush aides have proposed cutting corporate
income taxes, while House Republicans are flying the capital-gains
tax-cut flag. Although the attacks proved that there are far more
pressing security needs than developing a National Missile Defense
system, Star Wars backers are still attempting to get funding for
their boondoggle. And backers of the Administration's energy proposal
now want an "expedited energy bill" designed to clear the way for
drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Washington is witnessing shameless policy profiteering, state
legislatures have seen surreal grabs for political advantage. A
Republican state representative in Wisconsin announced that after so
many deaths, it was time to renew America's commitment to life--by
passing his antiabortion bill. In states that bar capital punishment,
proposals were made to allow executions as antiterrorist
measures--failing to recognize the absurdity of threatening suicide
attackers with death.
Every war has its profiteers. But it
looks like this one is going to require an army of La Follettes to
prevent this war's policy profiteers from warping the discourse--not
to mention plundering the Treasury--in the name of a "patriotism"
defined solely by self-interest.

David Kantor
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2012) |
David Kantor, (b. 1927) is an American systems psychologist, organizational consultant, and clinical researcher. He is the founder of three research and training institutes and the author of numerous books and articles, including Inside the Family co-authored with William Lehr. His work has made a significant contribution to the fields of family systems and organizational consultation theory and practice.
He has taught and trained thousands of students at institutions including Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Kantor Family Institute, and Northeastern University, and has also been the recipient of multiple grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). He is the Founder and Thought Leader of The Kantor Institute.
David Kantor received his B.A. and M.A. from Brooklyn College in 1950 and 1952, respectively, and received his Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 1963.
Beginning in 1956, he was a Lecturer at Harvard University's Department of Social Relations. Kantor's innovative research methods while at Harvard included creating halfway houses where students lived with and studied patients full-time, and placing healthy students in mental hospitals (disguised as patients) to directly study treatment of patients and the condition of mental hospitals. His work on the negative effects of institutionalizing patients was instrumental in the movement to shift psychological and psychiatric care toward more effective and beneficial treatment methods where appropriate.
After Harvard, Kantor was an Assistant Professor of Clinical psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine from 1965–1975, during which time he also served as first Director of Psychological Research (1966–1969), Director, Center for Training in Family Therapy (1968–1975), and Chief Psychologist (1969–1975) at Boston State Hospital. He also founded the Boston Family Institute in 1967 and the Family Institute of Cambridge in 1974. During this time, David's research was highlighted on the Chicago Channel 11 WTTW.
In 1980 David founded the Kantor Family Institute, a postgraduate training center for therapists and organizational consultants and served as its Director for twenty years. During this time David expanded his focus on systems theory to include businesses and other organizations, and also developed his "Theory of Theories." He worked with Monitor Group (then Monitor Company) as a special consultant and project consultant during 1991–1993. He also acted as a research consultant to the Dialogue Project at the Organizational Learning Center of the MIT Sloan School of Management.
In 2001, Kantor joined Monitor Group to develop a new model and theory of leadership to facilitate the evolution of leaders at Monitor and for Monitor's clients. One of his key developments is the Leadership Model Building (LMB) program utilized by both Monitor's senior leadership and Monitor's most important clients. Within Monitor, David was the Head of Monitor Kantor Enterprises (MKE), a business unit whose products help clients develop the necessary organizational leadership and team dynamics capabilities to execute their organizations' strategies, from 2001 through 2008. Clients have cited MKE's products and approach as highly influential and essential in helping them make critical decisions and successfully navigate some of their business's most extreme challenges.
Current work[edit]
Between 2008 and 2011, Kantor has upgraded all concepts he has developed over decades to new levels of theoretical credibility. This work is captured in the book, Reading the Room: Group Dynamics for Coaches and Leaders, published in 2012 by Jossey-Bass/Wiley. A manuscript in process describing a model of practice is designed as a companion to the theory contained in Reading the Room. At the Kantor Institute, the concepts in the one and the techniques in the other are being put into action in a wide array of programs offered to consultants and therapists for use in their own specialties—consulting, coaching, team building, and various forms of therapy with couples and families.
From these developments, Kantor's work has taken a special turn. He is ready to test the ability of his concepts both to predict behavior and to quantitatively measure the results of designed interventions. He is currently preparing to put these important claims to empirical test with corporate teams.
Personal life[edit]
Kantor is married to Meredith Winter and is the father of seven children. He lives in Cambridge, MA. While teaching at Harvard College in the 1960s, he owned a bookstand in Harvard Square that was pulled behind a donkey.[citation needed]

Twistedfate AD I have the one solution to buff him on ad without overbuffing him and without any change to ap TwistedFate. TwistedFate on ad have no scaling. Technically only his red card on W scales because its aoe. His other cards not scale on W because he lose his autoattack dmg when he activate W. Also it deals magic dmg. You can crit W but the dmg you crit is about 59dmg up to 180 dmg (very confusing) maybee a little bit more. I don´t even know what number he strike critical when he lose physical dmg and transfer it into the magic dmg throw of W. Also he cant use his lifesteal when he activate W and you do it very often. So here my idea comes. Let TwistedFates "pick a card" scales with added ad (runes, items mastery without basic attack dmg)instead of full ad. Also change the skill to an onhit effect instead modificated autohit. Means Twistedfate deals his normal physicall autoattack dmg and added the magic dmg of W on his autoattack. Then TwistedFates armor pen have more use AND the more important thing is that he can crit a high number of W. He would have some lifesteal on his basic attack when he activate W - that would be great! Together with sheen/trinity it will be very good. While with this change nothing will happen to ap Twisted Fate. As a Champion Designer, how you think about this overlord RiotGypsy? TLDR: TF lose lifesteal,armorpen and critical strike when he activate W. Bad when you play him as ad. + How i think to fix this. Whats your opinion to my suggestion?
Enigma Requiem
*warning, wall of non-gameplay related text* Having read through this thread (or at least all the Red posts, which is generally what I do with long threads) I find myself seriously considering Riot as a future place of employment. As someone still in highschool, with only minor programming experience, what would you suggest as a good path of advancement, besides internship (not an option, since I plan on applying for a school a bit too far away from Riot HQ for it to be reasonable), to help get into such a job as your own? To be more specific, since a very young age I'd always wanted to be a Video Game designer, of some sort. As I got older and realized how difficult it would be to get such a job, I started to doubt the goal... but hearing what you say about your job, I feel I would fit right in, once I have sufficient training. I already think critically in ways that the Career's site requests, and I've had competitive gaming experiance since a rather young age. I have a few game mods (LoL based ones in mind for Dorf Fortress, in fact. Kha'Zix-like creatures for playable? Sounds doable to me, already got a start) in the works, which is supposed to be something they look for...

What is your opinion on true damage, champions that offer low risk - high reward gameplay (as compared to those that range from being awful when played poorly to an absolute monster when played perfectly), and champions whose abilities scale up well so that they do good damage even without items?
Hi RiotGypsy, Me and a few other guys run a podcast named NexusDown, it's on itunes or at http://NexusDown.buzzsprout.com if your looking for it.

Has anyone used this pant before? They look cool however I am concerned that the slim fit of the lower leg would restrict movement to much. Comments?
Hey Hey Hey
The Tightness of the lower leg should not really restrict your movement, since the tightest area of these pants is around your boots (and those are already going to restrict you movement more than the pants). These pants have decent room in the thighs and knees that make sure you can grab Roast Beef or Chicken Salad.

What's the best remedy for Whitefly on Tropical Hibiscus in a populated area? I want to choose a pesticide that is safe for both plants and the elderly and ailing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use this spray for my jasmines.I think it will work on the hibiscus too. White flies get stuck on the sticky leaves and die. mix 2 tablespoon of black seed oil with 500ml water and a drop of dishwashing liquid. Shake well before spray. Ideally spray in the evening and keep in shade for 2 days. Slowly introduce to the sun. You can use neem oil too. hope this helps, Good luck |
Thanx. We have some cloudy/rainy days coming up, and the greenhouse is covered, so I'm going to strike then while the sun's hiding. Plus, I've been doing some research into using lacewing larvae a week or so later as a cleanup squad. My understanding is that whitefly is no wimpy foe and is going to take a lot to control it. Thx for the Blackseed suggestion. I've also heard good things about Neem. |
