I'll accept this rework if you promise the next champ that comes out will have Juggernauts ult. I think it's really dumb the main reason you are changing Fiora's ult is because "LOL ITS NOT A FENCER." My god.
I like the sound of what's being done. As is, Fiora has always just been an all-in snowbally high DPS champion with a pretty face, relying overly on her ult. I hope the dancing duelist aspect shines through more in the new iteration. Just to throw out some ideas, I like the thought of Fiora jumping in and out of combat. She could be a high-risk, high-reward skill-based champion reliant on co-ordination and timing. Not easy mode like Jax's dodge, but with shorter spammable spells which punish with long cooldowns if you mess up (e.g. like Sivir/Noc spellshields, not Yasuo's Q where it's no big deal if you miss it). For example, below i've removed her invulnerability (and on-demand attack speed steroid) entirely, but buffed her mobility/Parry to work on spells so consideration and skill is required moreso to evade counterattacks (and even then, based on positioning, she might not be able to dodge as many as her live ult allows) whilst putting more power into shorter cooldowns (but still long enough for ult difference to be noticable) for rotating skills/combos without her live steroid. New ult fitted in but transferred power from bonus armor pen to a new passive - Passive - Damaging an enemy unit with a spell (Q, possibly W) reveals a weakpoint and marks them for 4 seconds. The next autoattack consumes the mark to deal 6% of their missing HP as bonus damage (max 100 vs monsters) Q - Lunges quickly through an enemy unit, travelling further if the target is close, whilst applying on-hit effects to the target. If the target dies to this attack, cooldown is refreshed W - Deflect next basic attack/spell from a champion/large monster, returning % of dmg that would've been dealt as magic dmg. If target is nearby, they are also stunned for 1 second. Cooldown is doubled if missed (1.5 second window, does not work on champion AOE or turret shot dmg) E - Sidesteps a short distance instantly in direction of cursor (akin to Riven's third hop or shield dash/Vayne's tumble), leaving an afterimage in her wake which provides vision of the area for 2 seconds R - For the next 9 seconds, all basic ability cooldowns are reduced to 0.75 seconds and cost no mana ~ Thoughts? Primary damage relegated to her passive + Q, along with W and E for rewarding outplay potential via effective timing and positioning respectively. Possible scenarios/combos for consideration: #1. Deflect (W) an attack triggering stun, lunge (Q) in, sidestep (E) out #2. Sidestep (E) a skillshot, lunge (Q) in, retreat with deflect (W) in reserve #3. Lunge (Q) through a nearby minion with low HP, use reset Q and reduced gap to enemy target to engage #4. Ult (R), deflect (W)/sidestep (E) attacks, whilst Q'ing in.. rotate skills as necessary during duel Note: No invulnerability to save you if you mess up on timing, positioning, decision making, etc. Recklessly dueling an opponent should have consequences. However, the tools for mechanical outplay are provided above.
THOUGHTS ON R: 2.5s AOE root AND reveal AND massive CDR AND no mana costs even thought that passive would give you massive mana regen with just a iceborn gauntlet which you would probably build because your Q procs it? PLUS, if your ult does no damage then you can easily tower dive without taking turret or minion aggro, so making it do 1 true damage would be better in this case. Besides, this is just what Guinsoo said, with an AOE root/reveal. TL;DR:No.
I'm not someone who plays Fiora consistently but I want to say some of the things you have mentioned make this rework sound infinitely more enjoyable to play against and as then her current form. Currently I don't find her fun to play or against so this is pretty big for me personally. I hope the people who are worried/dislike the mentioned changes end up liking her when these changes are done but I want them to know that playing against Fiora is extremely boring in its current form. She is very binary and there is very little either side can do to turn a losing situation into a winning one and it sounds like this rework will change that so hopefully it will make it more fun for both sides.
Guinsoo, the fighters that you have created, Tryndamere and Kayle, both have a incredible late game power, probably they're like a top 5 champions when the topic is "late game power". Is Fiora going to have a powerful late game, or she will be more stronger at early - mid game? What do you think that is better for Fiora?
Game Designer
I'm honestly very excited for this rework, but please, please, please don't replace her ult. I think that is what makes Fiora, Fiora. A fencer dancing around her enemies finding their weak points.
Albert Spangler
Man, I've been hoping for a Fiora rework for years now. I can hardly believe it's happening. I'm wriggly with excitement!
Just a question, would this kind of stuff go on the PBE? I'm not sure how the system works, my application hasn't gotten accepted

Why hello there!
Wait! Don't go!
I know you only came here because you wanted to talk about why your favorite A-list superhero is better than another person's A-list superhero, but the title of this thread was merely a red herring. A blatant trap designed to capture two minutes of your attention.
Indulge in this short exercise.
STEP 1: Pick a character you love not named "Batman," "Superman," "Spider-Man," or "Wolverine." Keep that character's name fixed in your head. Now, go to that character's respective forum here on ComicVine and make a new post. About anything. Ask a question. Post a review. Talk about why you love that character.
STEP 2: Then look for another person's thread with maybe one, two, or zero responses about this same character you love. Post a thoughtful response and give the discussion some new life. Take that deader-than-dead thread and add something meaningful to it.
STEP 3: Repeat the two steps above each time you visit ComicVine. There is life outside the Big 4. And there are people who share your interests outside the Big 4.
That is all.

Have some chocolate or ice cream there at the bedside together while he indulges you with wonderful new things while laying there. Eat that chocolate/ice cream and love his touch. It will be much easier to receive because your mind is well-practiced with enjoying sweet treats. In most cases, you will more quickly learn how to savor and focus on sensual and sexual enjoyment-- the candy of the sense of touch. Another great idea is to have quality dark chocolate before sex. It has chemistry effects on your brain that put you in a cuddly, receptive mood.
These aren't cure-all tips. There are always situations were they don't apply to every woman. That's what the collaboration between me and the client in sex life coaching addresses. It is a customized process, not one-way only. Let me know in the comments section how it works for you!

Review: 'The Host' Is a Cry For Help From What's Left of Andrew Niccol
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 29, 2013 | Comments (4)It's been difficult to pin down what exactly happened to writer/director Andrew Niccol after his 1997 debut, Gattaca, but theories ranged from him having been replaced with a lookalike to him having had a stroke. A double feature of S1mone and In Time suggests the latter, but what then to make of the film sandwiched between them? Lord of War is a blackly comic morality play that never saw the eyeballs it deserved, but as if he were being punished for creating something thought-provoking, he disappeared for the next six years only to return in 2011 with a legitimately terrible, feature-length wrist-watch commercial starring Justin Timberlake. The release of his latest film sees him once again crafting lazy, simplistic sci-fi, this time adapting a novel by bestselling hack Stephenie Meyer, but in addition to being laughably bad, The Host may actually offer an answer to the question above. What happened to turn the man behind Gattaca and The Truman Show into a seemingly clueless boob who thinks shiny, silver cars and idealized talk about mankind's value are enough to qualify a film as speculative fiction? Having seen the movie the answer seems so obvious now. An intergalactic jellyfish slipped into a paper cut fifteen years ago, curled up around his brain stem, smothered his creativity, talent and curiosity and then turned his body into a fleshy, bipedal rental car. And Niccol's been fighting to be heard from the back seat ever since.
Review: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ is a Sparkling Example of Too Little Too Late
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 16, 2012 | Comments (8)As someone who's somehow resisted the pull of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books but has seen all five films, I feel confident saying the first three movies (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse) exist on a sliding scale of awfulness. They're bland, lacking in anything resembling emotion or humanity, poorly acted, terribly written and insulting to the concepts of free will, family, gender equality, canine care, individuality and love itself. Breaking Dawn Part 1 changed some of that for the better. The themes were still offensive to rational people who prefer a uterus be connected to a functioning and free-spirited brain, but director Bill Condon managed to inject a degree of humor and zaniness to the proceedings that embraced the entertainment value inherent in the story but missing from the earlier films. Basically, he made it fun. And thankfully, he returned to helm part 2. To recap part 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart) the human and Edward (Robert Pattinson) the vampire have married, fornicated and given birth to a baby they felt it necessary to name Renesmee. While still a fetus the little scamp had sucked the life from its mother leading to Bella's death shortly after Edward decided to perform an emergency Cesarean with his teeth. He acts quickly and bites her again, this time in an attempt to save her life by turning her into a bloodsucker, and it works. She opens her inhuman, crimson eyes, and the credits roll. Oh, and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) the werewolf pees on Bella's newborn daughter […]
'The Host' Trailer: Somehow, The Future Still Involves Boring Love Scenes in the Rain
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf there's one thing that can be said for "Twilight Saga" author Stephenie Meyer, it's that she tried something new with her first non-"Twilight" book, "The Host." Emphasis on the tried. The similarities are there – both stories center on leading ladies who don't fancy themselves to be the leading lady type who somehow get caught up in supernatural-ish plots with wide-reaching implications and, oh, don't forget those love triangles. Don't you ever forget those love triangles! But "The Host" was written for a somewhat older-skewing audience, and its aliens-on-earth plot is both more interesting and more well-built than whatever the heck it was that Meyer was going for with "Twilight" (sorry, Twi-hards, really). So why then does Andrew Niccol's big screen take on The Host just seem so terribly boring? At least, that's how it looks in the film's first long-form trailer. It's certainly a keener and cleaner look at the film than the very tease-heavy teaser trailer from March, which seemed to hinge almost totally on the viewer's perceived awareness of the property, but it's still makes The Host look like Twilight with aliens. Take a look after the break.
Want to Be Ready for Stephenie Meyer's Next Blockbuster? Win a Copy of 'The Host' Novel
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on May 21, 2012 | Comments (61)This contest is now closed. All winners will be emailed. Thank you for participating! For fans of Stephenie Meyer's "The Twilight Saga" and its cinematic counterparts, saying goodbye to the series when the final film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 this fall will be tough stuff. Fortunately, Meyer already has a brand new film based on one of her books ready to go, and it's one that will appeal to both fans of Twilight and those who have never gotten the teen vampire love story craze. Meyer's "The Host" is a more adult book that explores similar themes to those addressed in "The Twilight Saga," but with a much more mature spin. Also, there are aliens (a lot of aliens). And a well-sketched post-apocalyptic Earth for them to populate. The film is officially described as "an enchanting and fateful story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world is invaded by an unseen enemy, humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over, while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed." The film will star Saoirse Ronan, Diane Kruger, Max Irons, Frances Fisher, William Hurt, Jake Abel, and many more. The Host has been written by Meyer, along with director Andrew Niccol (who knows a thing about dystopian futures, having written and directed Gattaca and In Time and written The Truman Show). To get you ready for The Host the movie, we're giving away five (5) copies of "The […]
Teaser Trailer for Stephenie Meyer Adaptation 'The Host': A Real Tease
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 22, 2012 | Comments (2)Though my earlier editorial might have given you the impression that I loathe author Stephenie Meyer's works, that's not necessarily the case, and I am reasonably interested in the next film to translate her books to the screen. Post-"Twilight," Meyer penned a sci-fi novel called "The Host," and while it's no shock that the book is intended to kick off a new franchise, it is somewhat surprising that the book was intended for a more adult crowd and for some more mature lessons than those taught by Bella, Edward, and Jacob. While the book has many of the same issues as "Twilight," it is a different animal, and its sci-fi bent might be able to lure in even rabid "Twilight" dissenters. Set in the near future, The Host imagines a world that has been taken over by an alien race that, while not overtly violent, are terrifyingly good at destroying whole civilizations. It's not by war by that these aliens consume other beings – it's by taking over their bodies and minds like a parasite. One of those aliens, Wanderer (Saoirse Ronan) finds herself confused and dismayed to find that the human she's taken over (also played by Ronan) won't let go, turning the two into individual spirits in one body. Bad enough, but still worse when Wanderer/Melanie makes her way to one of the last all-human encampments. The film's first teaser is a true tease, and certainly won't offer much to those who are not familiar with the book's […]
Why 'The Hunger Games' Isn't 'Twilight' (And Why That's A Good Thing)
Features By Kate Erbland on March 22, 2012 | Comments (13)The conceptual similarities between Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games" series and Stephenie Meyer's "The Twilight Saga" series are slim – and anyone who tells you otherwise is delusional, illiterate, and incapable of complex thoughts related to literary exploration. However, while their content does differ, their initial appeal to a YA audience, the insistence of declaring "teams" for romantic paramours, and their large-scale cinematic adaptations do beg for some discussion about their surface similarities, and how those will translate into stuff like audience appeal and ultimate impact on readers and viewers. While I find "Twilight" to be the infinitely weaker and less compelling of the two properties, I'm not some sort of blind "Twilight" hater – I've read all the books and seen all the movies, and I get why it's appealing to all sorts of readers and watchers, particularly those looking to consume something that provides escape – but I also think that there is far better material out there for public consumption. Smarter, wiser, more applicable to the real world, and more compelling material – like "The Hunger Games." Let's put it this way – if I had a fifteen-year-old daughter, I'd want her to read "The Hunger Games," and here's why.
Review: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ or, You Don't Even Know the Half of It
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on November 17, 2011 | Comments (25)As the "worldwide phenomenon" that is The Twilight Saga of films (adapted from Stephenie Meyer's equally as popular and blockbuster-selling quartet of novels) has progressed through the years, it has become increasingly difficult for those not already inoculated into the cult of human-vampire-werewolf love triangles to process, enjoy, and understand just exactly what they're seeing on screen. Which is a nice way of saying that the tale of Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Jacob Black, and a whole mess of other humans and mythological creatures has spiraled almost totally and nonsensically out of control. Following their star-crossed high school courtship, unsteady human Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her smoothie vampire suitor (Robert Pattinson) have decided to take things to the next level. For most eighteen-year-olds (or ostensible eighteen-year-olds with Edward's immortal appearance), that would mean getting down in the carnal sense – but for Edward and Bella, that means getting married (his choice) so that Bella can finally be turned to match her lover and his family (her choice). These are certainly big decisions for a girl who is barely an adult, but they're made immeasurably more difficult by a hairy problem – teen werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), who is just as in love with Bella as Edward is. That's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in a straight-faced nutshell. Yet, even fans of the series must admit that the final entry into Meyer's series is absolutely crammed with elements that, at their best, could be described as bizarre. […]
Aural Fixation: 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1' Soundtrack Surprises with Track List of Relative Unknowns
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on September 29, 2011 | Comments (1)The Twilight franchise is known for many things – its lead actors, bringing vampires and werewolves to a cultural fever pitch, the seemingly insatiable fandom that surrounds it, and the story's sometimes unbelievable plot lines which, in this fourth installment, will give audiences a wedding, a honeymoon, and (naturally) the birth of a vampire/human offspring. But beyond the blood and the fur, the music featured throughout the series has always been an equally important part of the Twilight experience. Author Stephenie Meyer (who penned the novels the films are based on) has even noted the specific pieces of music she was listening to when writing the various books. The impact and influence of music has always been a part of the Twilight world and the anticipation that accompanies the announcement of which artists will be on each soundtrack is almost as though a new actor is joining the cast. Fans turned out in droves to not only see the actors from the films, but to also watch performances from the artists on the soundtracks for Twilight and New Moon at fan events, selections of which can be seen on Music Videos and Performances from The Twilight Saga Soundtracks, Vol. 1. Regardless of what you may think of the films, the soundtracks have always boasted an impressive list of artists who provided original songs for the films such as Muse ("Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)"), Death Cab for Cutie ("Meet Me at the Equinox"), and Radiohead's Thom Yorke ("Hearing Damage").

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ Trailer Is Pretty Much What You'd Expect
Movie News By Kate Erbland on September 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentLet's just be honest here – if you're into The Twilight Saga, you're into it. If you're not into it, well, you're probably pretty into making fun of it. Luckily for both factions of fanhood, today's first full-length trailer for the penultimate entry into the massively popular film franchise based on Stephenie Meyer's massively popular book series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, delivers everything that anyone could want from it – showcasing some of the film's most important scenes (you better believe it's wedding-heavy), alongside some truly boggling facial expressions. It's, in short, just as vampire batshit crazy as the rest of the franchise has been so far. Maybe even more. Sink your teeth into the first full trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 after the break.
Saoirse Ronan Will Play 'The Host' For Stephenie Meyer And Andrew Niccol
Casting Couch By Rob Hunter on May 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentSaoirse Ronan is an extremely talented actress which as is often the case means she's also an extremely busy one. You can see her in theaters now as the title character in the teen assassin film Hanna, and later this year she'll be book-ending that role alongside Carey Mulligan in the film Violet & Daisy, an independent drama about two teenage assassins who question their own morality when their latest target turns out to be a nice guy. Also in the mix is her rumored involvement in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina. Many people wanted her to land a role in the Hunger Games adaption, but the news on that film's casting has been incredibly sparse and any real hope has faded. But she appears to have her eyes on another popular book for young adults… Per Deadline Wackoville, Ronan has signed on to star in an adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's only non-Twilight novel, The Host. The story is about a young girl named Melanie Stryder living in a world where alien invaders called Souls routinely take control of human hosts to erase their memories and turn them into worker bees. Wanderer, the Soul assigned to Melanie, attempts to wipe her mind but it discovers an inner strength that's both impressive and intriguing. Wanderer's newfound interest in this particular human leads to some surprising discoveries for them both. Interestingly, Ronan will apparently be playing the roles of Melanie and Wanderer. Andrew Niccol has completed a script […]
Our resident intellectual Cole Abaius recently volunteered to take on the reading of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" a book (and soon to be film) that is causing quite a stir on the internet. He offers up his thoughts, plus ten tips for guys who are interested in taking the plunge into "Twilight" as well.

Stephenie Meyer Finds Love in the Future with 'The Host'

Dakota Fanning Officially Joins the Twilight Saga
Casting Couch By Michelle Graham on March 9, 2009 | Comments (11)Remember Twilight? That modestly budgeted movie released last year with vampires and some such? Well, it has officially begun casting for its next round and its bringing on a somewhat bigger name.
Taylor Lautner Remains as Jacob Black
In Development By Michelle Graham on January 8, 2009 | Comments (21)Debate rages on as to which beau is best for Bella Swan. However, whether you're rooting for fangs or fur, fear not! Jacob Black remains as cute, cuddly and Taylor-y as ever before.
'Twilight' Success Drives Stake Through Remake Of 'Near Dark'
In Development By Rob Hunter on December 12, 2008 | Comments (9)Sure, Twilight successfully lowered the bar dramatically when it comes to the quality of bestselling fiction and film. But it also may have put a stop to an unnecessary remake, so that's a plus.

Maria, This is facinating! Actually my grandfather's name was Juan Alba, not de Alba, but Alba and de Alba could well be different branches of the same family. Here's the interesting part. My father's name was Jubentino Alba. Of course, dad was born in the U.S., but we always wondered about where his first name came from, as we had never heard of anyone else with that name. A family name, maybe? I'll have to check my map and see if I can find El Valle de Guadalupe to see how far it is from Encarnacion de Diaz. Thanks for responding. --p Notify Administrator about this message?

Battle to keep London on the rails
Comment on this storyBritish transport officials have acknowledged there will be some rail delays and disruptions during the Olympics after two rail links failed as organisers held a rehearsal for the opening ceremony.
Peter Hendy, London's transport chief, said last week "it will get busy" and "we will get some queues".
London is bracing to handle one million visitors and up to three million more journeys a day on public transport during the Games, from July 27 to August 12.
On Monday night, two lines near the Olympic Park stopped working temporarily as thousands of volunteers practiced their opening ceremony roles.
Britain's Transport Secretary, Justine Greening, says even "on a transport system as complex as London's, things do go wrong". – Sapa-AP

Sustainable Food Consumption
Food is one of our most basic needs and recognised as a human right in over 160 countries worldwide. Although you'd think we would take care of such a necessity, our global food system is totally off-balance. In 2011, the number of overweight or obese citizens reached 1.5 billion. At the same time, one billion people are suffering from malnutrition and another billion from hidden hunger.
Europe's excessive demand for food and feedstock also contributes significantly to the pressure on biodiversity hotspots abroad like the Brazilian Cerrado and the Heart of Borneo.
WWF's Living Planet Report shows that our food choices can heavily impact the environment. Particularly animal products like meat and dairy place a heavy burden, as raising livestock requires large amounts of feed, water and energy.
With our world population estimated to grow to around nine billion or more by 2050, our food choices will be vital to the conservation of the ecosystems that support them.

Tips for clean and neat wiring, mic support arms, missed cues
Clean and neat wiring
We've all seen the extremes of wiring in a facility. Some are rat's nests, and some are works of flowing art. Most are in between. But it's not just the wire path that makes the job look good and work well. Attaching connectors and placing wire ties are part of the plan, too. In the old days, cable lacing was a major part of wiring installation. This mostly lost art looks amazing when it's done right.
A few years ago while working on a studio installation project, one of the installers — an ex-navy man — was telling me about some of the electronics training he received and how he still applies the practices to his studio installation work. This includes soldering skills, applying heat shrink and cable preparation.
But not everyone has that training available. What standards do you observe in your wiring? I was referred to a source that addresses this topic in great detail. It's from NASA, so you know it has to pass some high standards since there aren't many second chances in space.
The publication is titled Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, and Wiring (NASA-STD 8739.4 with Change 4). It sets requirements for interconnecting cable and harness assemblies that connect electrical/electronic and electromechanical components.
To say the document is thorough is an understatement. With diagrams and descriptions that you would expect from a technical agency, I would put this publication as one of the must-haves in a technical library.
I guess these guys really are a bunch of rocket scientists.
With this ring...
The E-V RE-20 is a popular radio mic, and many accessories are available for it. One accessory is the Popless Voice Screens VAC-RE20 pop filter. Robin Cross, chief engineer at KCUR-FM, noticed the arms that support the screens were drooping over time. To cure this, he tried several ideas. He finally settled on adding O-rings around the arm that holds the filter. After trying a few sizes he settled on rings with a 0.5" inside diameter. He also found that using a larger outside diameter ring increases the clamping effect. He ordered a bag of 75 rings from Grainger (part #1CGZ2) for less than $10.
He says the best way to install the ring is to remove the arm from the slot, put the O-ring around it, then reinsert the arm and work the ring into place. Placing the ring and then inserting the arm is too difficult.
No more missed cues
The new generation of satellite receivers is much more than a simple audio delivery device. They now include store-and-forward capability, which moves the function of capturing the feed to be played back later from the automation system to the satellite receiver.
I had heard that some stations were having difficulty with some delayed programs missing closures at the end of the program. (They're not really closures any more, they're cues, but we still think of them as closures to trigger an event.)
The problem occurs at the end of the recorded program when the automation system doesn not receive the last closure. Usually, the closure is sent slightly late. For example, if the program is set to end at 58:50 but the finals closure is sent at 58:52, the receiver does not capture that final closure because it stopped recording at 58:50.
Kevin Trueblood, an engineer with Mid-West Family Broadcasting in Madison, WI, suggested a solution. He has considered adding a hard-synced closure in the automation system to occur at 58:53. If the XDS satellite receiver misses the last scheduled closure at 58:50, the automation system will see the hard-synced closure at 58:53 and begin the break at 58:53. Three seconds of silence is better than minutes (or more).
If the 58:50 closure is recorded on the satellite receiver, the automation system starts the break at 58:50 and ignores the hard sync because it's already in the break. He warns that the automation system must be configured to accept this series of events without accepting the potential double closure.
This idea has not been tested yet, but he was planning to implement it soon. Perhaps you have another solution. If so, send it to us or post it at forums.radiomagonline.com.

Read More Frank McCourt continues his life story in the brilliant, bestselling sequel to the million-selling 'Angela's Ashes'. 'Angela's Ashes' was a publishing phenomenon. Frank McCourt's critically-acclaimed, lyrical memoir of his Limerick childhood won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics' Circle Award, the Royal Society of Literature Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Award amongst others, and rapidly became a word-of-mouth bestseller topping all charts worldwide for over two years. It left readers and critics alike eager to hear more about Frank McCourt's incredible, poignant life. "Tis' is the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic party, then by the United States Army, then by New York University - which admitted him on a trial basis though he had no high school diploma - Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight and still has today. And "Tis' is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing, and hilarious as Angela's Ashes. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself. 'It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he's done. McCourt proves himself one of the very best' (Newsweek). 'With 'Tis', McCourt blesses his readers with another chapter of his story, but as it closes, they will want still more. Read Less

Frank McCourt, who passed away recently, is by far, one of my favorite authors. What makes Tis: A Memoir a special treat is that HE narrates the audiobook himself!! And, with his Irish brogue and unique writing style, puts you, the reader/listener, in the scene/picture. Sadly, he only wrote a few books, which I have had the pleasure of reading, and wish he had written more. Take the time to treat yourself to a read/listen to this rare gem of an author!!

Very interesting and entertaining. I personally liked it better than his fames "Angelas Ashes"
Jul 15, 2007
?'Tis? documents the continuing story of Frank McCourt as he re-establishes himself in America. Frank?s is an honest, unwavering voice narrating his experiences as an Irish immigrant in the 1950?s. He works as a hotel janitor, joins the army, becomes a university student. It is in this setting that he finds his voice as a writer and teacher. McCourt?s marriage and role in fatherhood are not explored in as great a detail as other areas of his life and this is a disappointment. While not as completely charming as the Pulitzer Prize winning "Angela's Ashes" or the more recent "Teacher Man," ??Tis? is an enjoyable read (at turns laugh out loud and heart-wrenching), a glimpse of a young man struggling against the ghosts of the past while finding his place in the world.

I found this large snail on sale at Gord*mans marked down to $20. I decided I "needed" him in the garden.
Then I found a clock at GdWl for $12.99 - 25% = $9.74!! It is about 28" in diameter and is on the house in my gazebo area so I can keep an eye on how much time I'm spending in the garden. TTFN,
Follow-Up Postings:
Candy, neat Snail you found! Looks great in the garden. I'm sure you NEEDED him and not just wanted him.LOL Will it keep it's finish in the weather? Made me laugh. Do you really care how much time you spend in the yard or did you just like this nice BIG Clock? Great find. I'll bet you can see it along ways away. I'm terrible when I'm out in the yard, only come in when it's necessary.(like potty breaks and drinks) Punk |

LOL about the reason you bought the clock! Yeah, right, candy! ~~giggle~~ I love it, BTW! That snail is quite spectacular!!! When you're not watchin' the clock, you'll probably enjoy watching him move @a snail's pace for many yrs...well worth the $$! TFS, candy! Jeanne S. |

Love that huge snail, and he looks quite happy in your garden! My Dad had that clock! But I don't think it ended up in YOUR GW... ;o)..but who knows! For that matter, Jason has one too. hugs, Karen |
The snail is impressive Candy, I'm sure he loves his new home in your garden. The clock is cool. Thanks for sharing your latest bargains. Nana |

'72 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Hardtop from Missing Link
Posted 14 May 2013 - 02:06 PM
Posted 15 May 2013 - 05:23 AM
To make it a correct 1970, you would have to sand off the rocker moldings and the Oldsmobile script on the trunk. To do a 1971 all you would have to sand off is the script on the trunk.
I owned a '71 Cutlass Supreme, and there is no need to remove the "Oldsmobile" lettering from the trunk, as this is correct for '71 and '72, but not for the '70. The rocker molding must be removed for the '70 and '71, which had a chrome molding mounted a few inches higher (see photos). Note also the style of grille, as there were TWO different ones installed on the Cutlass Supreme in '71, with the one seen in the bottom photo most common on uplevel and SX-optioned Cutlass Supremes in '71. If you plan on doing a '70, the hood as seen in the Jo-Han '70 442 kit is not correct for the SX or Supreme, which had a single, large raised area as opposed to the two raised areas seen on the base-model 442.

Dallas Accident and Injury Lawyers
What Should You Do If Someone Else's Negligent Actions Hurt You?
Something happened and you got hurt. Maybe you slipped and fell while walking on a wet store floor. Maybe another driver ran through a red light or stop sign and hit you.
Maybe you responsibly took a prescription medication and experienced worse illnesses than the medication solves. Or maybe you drove your vehicle and got injured because of a defect the manufacturer failed to disclose.
If you experience any of these situations, you may have a valid personal injury lawsuit. As long as you act responsibly like a reasonable person would, you aren't at fault for your injuries.
And your injuries could range from the mild:
- Bruises
- A damaged vehicle
- Headaches
- Whiplash
- An aching back
- Missing a couple days of work
To the very severe:
- Multiple broken bones
- Permanent damage to your organs
- Paralysis
- A permanent inability to do your normal job duties
- Depression because of these dramatic life changes
- Death
Unfortunately, when you get hurt, very often the other party has no interest in fairly compensating you for your injuries. They'll find any way they can to minimize their legal and financial responsibility.
What Should You Do If You Believe You Have a Valid Personal Injury Case?
For starters, if the other party's insurance company gets involved, don't speak to them at all. It's their goal to get you to say or agree to things that minimize their payout.
As soon as you're able, either you or a loved one should contact our Dallas accident and injury lawyers.
At Mullen and Mullen, you don't pay unless we win your case. So you risk absolutely nothing by contacting us online or calling 800.371.8751.
Why Choose the Accident and Injury Lawyers at Mullen & Mullen?
After all, you have a number of lawyers to choose from. For starters, we want to minimize your legal fees and maximize your compensation. If you mention you found us on this website, we charge a 28% (instead of 33.3%) fee for the final settlement amount. However, your case must settle outside of court, and about 90% of all cases do.
Another way we cut your costs is by hiring our own private, in-house investigator. Rather than pass the fees on to you, we take care of those fees ourselves.
You also get personal service. At many personal injury law firms, your first meeting with your lawyer is also your last. However, we personally meet with you before, during, and after your case at a time convenient for you. Our investigator also happily meets with you at your home or office for new appointments.
Finally, we have more than 3 decades of legal experience successfully resolving all types of personal injury cases.
We believe it's a privilege and honor to serve you. It's our goal to work for you and make sure you get the just legal outcome you deserve.
Sound good to you?
Then contact us online today or call 800.371.8751 for your FREE consultation.
It's a simple review of the facts of your case. We'll help you understand your options and learn potential outcomes. And there's absolutely no pressure to use us as your accident and injury lawyers.
What Should You Do If You Suffer a Personal Injury?
It depends on the type of accident and injuries you experience, but in general this is what you should do:
- If your injuries aren't serious promptly report (a several-day delay harms the credibility of your claim) the accident to the property owner or police (if necessary), but do get medical attention immediately
- If your injury happens on public property, report it to the city or town if you can
- When you make your report, be as brief as possible until you have spoken with a lawyer
- If you have serious injuries, get medical attention right away because you don't want them to get any worse than they are
- As you get treatment, report the exact reason why you need it to medical professionals
- If you get treatment from emergency personnel, get a copy of the accident report as soon as you can
- If you slip and fall on someone else's property, don't talk to the owner at all
- If you have the ability, take photos of the exact location of your fall and note the time and conditions surrounding the accident. If you don't, have a friend or family member visit the scene as soon as possible and take pictures.
- Get witness information if possible
- At home, safely store the clothing and shoes you wore at the scene of the accident
- Before you sign anything or talk to any insurance companies, speak with a personal injury attorney first
If you follow those steps, you will have a strong case. Now, it's important to get in touch with our accident and injury lawyers in Dallas.
You take care of your injuries while we do all the tough legal work. Contact us online, or call 1-800-371-8751 today.
