[Guide] Ryze - the Hero Killer
Introduction: I am an avid LoL player, who entered the beta not knowing what to expect. DotA was aRyze - the Hero Killer very fun and innovative game, yet it left many of its players alienated due to it's steep difficulty curve. LoL is a game which does ease you into the flow alot more, yet can still seem daunting to early players. I hope this guide may help some new users. Ryze is a hero very much built upon the fact that he can eliminate an enemy quickly, and harass successfully. Some people try to play him as more of a lane holder/support character but there are hero's far more suited to playing that role, so this guide will be built around the first ideal. Abilities Here is a brief overview of Ryze's abilities: Overload (Active): Ryze unleashes a terrifying energy blast of lightning at a single enemy unit. Arcane Mastery (Toggle): Permanently increases mana pool, and causes attacks to deal magic damage. Rune Prison (Active): Binds the target with sealing runes, prohibiting movement and attacks, and dealing damage. Spell Flux (Active): Releases an orb of pure energy at a target. The orb bounces from the initial target and continues through 6 bounces. Each bounce which lands upon an enemy deals damage. Desperate Power (Passive): While Ryze's health is below 40%, his ability power is increased. In the next section I am going to go over the thing's you'll want to sort out before you join the queue. Summoner Spells There are many skill combinations that benefit Ryze, and it mostly depends upon the player's preference. I am going to list the ones which are beneficial, and why. Teleport: A brilliant spell to have. It means that in early game you can minimize shopping to time to gain as much XP, and in late game, it means that you can swap lanes effectively for ganking, or pushing. Flash: Ryze is not a high hp hero, and therefore sometimes will need to escape quickly. flash is one of the options in this situation. It is best to escape from a caster, and can be used very effectively, for example, when about to be ganked in a lane, you can flash through the trees on the edge of the lane, into the jungle, meaning any character would have to walk around to catch you. Exhaust: This skill is best to escape a melee character. The first effect of blinding means that you will take no damage from their attacks, and the 40% slow means that you will have time to put distance between you and them. Ghost: This is a dual use spell. The first is similar to above, where you can use it to put distance between you and a melee character. The second is to chase down an enemy. This makes this a more useful skill that exhaust in my opinion. I advise against taking other spells such as heal, clairvoyance or promote. These are best left to support characters that won't be going after kills, or being near death as much as you will. Summoner Mastery 9/0/21 This is a well known "cookie cutter" style build that works fantastically well on Ryze. Offense: My top row consists of 3/3 Deadliness and 1/3 Archmage's Savvy, but you can swap out the Archmage's Savvy for Cripple if you have chosen Exhaust as a summoner spell. The must-have choices after this are 4/4 Sorcery and then 1/1 Archaic Knowledge. Defense: We spend no points here as it makes it impossible to reach both the bottom of Utility and Archaic Knowledge in Offense. Utility: In the top row I take 1/1 Spatial Accuracy to improve my teleport, 3/3 Good Hands to reduce my time spent dead and 3/3 Perseverance. In this row you'll want to take the improved Ghost if you are taking that particular skill. If you are taking Teleport and Ghost, then take both the improves and take a point out of Perseverance. Now take 4/4 Expanded Mind in Tier 2, 3/3 Meditation in Tier 3, 3/3 Quickness in Tier 4, 3/3 Intelligence in Tier 5 and 1/1 Presence of the Master in the final tier. The improve for flash is essentially useless compared to its surrounding skills, so I advise not to take it. Rune Book There are many ways of using the runebook, but I would like to focus on the runes which I take, with note of the other options. Red: Greater Mark of Malice +0.93% crit chance x 9 = +8.3% crit chance. Yellow: Greater Seal of Vitality +20.34 hp at level 18 x 9 = +182 hp at level 18. Blue: Greater Glyph of Insight +0.83 Magic Penetration x 9 = +7.47 Magic Penetration. Quintessence: Greater Quintessence of Fortitude x 2 + Greater Quintessence of Insight = 81 hp and 1.67 Magic Penetration. Totals: +8.3% crit chance, +9.1 Magic Penetration, +81 hp constant, +182 hp at 18. Overview: This build focuses on using each of the sections specialities to gain the most from using them. In the red section I have gone for crit chance; this rune is one of the most effective in this section compared to others which people suggest, for example the ability power runes add only ~9 AP which is nothing compared to the crit chance. I've used Vitality in the yellow as it is the slot in which it is most effective. Ryze is a low hp hero and as this slot is poor at attacking runes, this makes the most sense. In the blue section I have chosen Magic Penetration runes as each unit of penetration effectively increases your damage by 1%. I used one insight quintessence to increase my Magic Penetration to just below the diminishing returns value, and the others are Fortitude to increase my early game survival; this is important as Ryze is a very good hero to harass early, and even get kills. More on that in the game play section. Hero Abilities This is a very important gameplay, and could change your game. I am not going to set a rigid sequence of skills as some are more useful that others in certian situations. The first skill you choose should be Rune Prison. This is a very useful spell for early harassing. You should then take Overload, as a followup attack when you Rune Prison someone. Take Rune Prison again. Here you have a choice of preference, some games I like to take Arcane Mastery here, as an early boost to your mana, to stay in your lane longer, and to increase your damage to make last hitting even easier. The other option would be Overload if you think you could have a chance at an early kill, and want extra damage on the nuke. You will then ding 5, and choose Rune prison. After that it's pretty much get your ultimate, then level in the priority: Ultimate, rune prison, overload and then arcane mastery. The order should be something like: 1) E - Rune Prison 2) Q - Overload 3) E - Rune Prison 4) Q/W - Overload/Arcane Mastery 5) E - Rune Prison 6) R - Spell Flux 7) E - Rune Prison 8) Q - Overload 9) E - Rune Prison 10) Q - Overload 11) R - Spell Flux 12) Q - Overload 13) Q/W - Overload/Arcane Mastery 14) W - Arcane Mastery 15) W - Arcane Mastery 16) R - Spell Flux 17) W - Arcane Mastery 18) W - Arcane Mastery Item Build My first and favourite item build depends upon early killing and being able to last shot creeps well, if you think this isn't for you then go for the second: 1)Sorc Boots - Start with a purchase of the AP book. 2)Mejai's Soulstealer - This is where you'll get your AP boost early game from. Start with whichever piece you can afford when you have to blue pill. 3)Zhonya's Ring - This again will give a massive AP boost, which is all you need as Ryze. 4)Rod of Ages - start with the Catalyst the Protector, as other heroes will start to try to counter gank you. This gives a nice boost of AP too. 5)Archangels Staff - Gives you more mana and mana regen for continued fights, and the passive gives you more AP. 6)Guardian Angel - I like to buy this if the game is dragging on to have a bit of fun. The armor + magic resistance will give you a lot more survivability while the passive (Revives your Champion upon death, restoring 50% of their Health and Mana, this effect can only occur once every 5 minutes) can really catch the enemy off guard. The more new hero approach: 1)Sorc Boots - Start with a purchase of the AP book. 2)Lich Bane - Make sheen first. 3)Archangels Staff. 4) Zhonya's Ring. 5+6) What you feel you need. Game Play At first you need to buy the AP tome to start making your Sorc Boots. There are two ways of starting off the game. One is very offensive, and the other more defensive. This method works best if you have a friend playing with you, or you can grab a lane partner who will listen. You should buy asap, and run into the bushes in the top or bottom lane; making sure you are the furthest toward the opposing turret as possible. Around two thirds of the time the opposing hero will run past you and your partner, either to try a similar trick or to just stand in the middle. You can now pounce, using your trusty first skill Rune Prison to hold the hero in place while you and your partner keep up the damage. 1) They may get away really quickly, taking no damage, in which case they will now play really defensively. 2) They make nearly die, and have to blue pill, giving you a free lane for that time, or 3) You will get an early kill and everyone will chuckle (not likely unless the player is terrible or you're playing with a partner who also has a stun.) The other way to start is to get a lane to yourself, and just stay behind your minions, last shotting as much as possible to earn as much XP and gold as possible, while also throwing in a few rune prison + overload combo's at the opposition to harass. As you get to around 500 gold you can blue pill and buy your sorc boots. This helps you avoid getting ganked as you now have the movement speed mastery and your boots. If you chose teleport, get back to your lane asap to keep the gold/xp flowing. You should now just play safe and keep earning your XP and gold. As you get to level 6 you should buy whichever part of the Mejai's you can afford, and teleport into another lane for an early lane clear with your ulti, and return to your lane asap. Now you should follow the basics of playing LoL, defend your lane, harass when possible, and when called, assist in ganks. Whenever your teleport is up you should use it to do a quick shop. There are several nice game play tips with Ryze that will help you to succeed. Firstly, rune prison can be used for nukes, but also make sure you have it up if you need to get away from someone, and don't forget you can still be attacked while they are inside it. It is very good to use if someone plans to attack you inside the range of your turret. Stick them inside the range and watch them get nuked. Also, you need to know when to use your ultimate. Do not use it when there are alot of minions around, as it will be a waste of the bounces. The best time to use it is against two enemy heroes, as it will only bounce between them, doing huge damage. Other times it is useful is if you are in a 1on1 and start to fall behind on the damage, your ultimate will bounce between yourself and them, and you will stay alive. Another handy tip is using the map to your advantage. For example if you're being pushed back to your turret by an enemy on around half health, look like you are running back, but instead go through the jungle, to the river, and appear behind them. They won't be able to run toward the turret, and you can rune prison and dispose of them quickly. Little things like thinking about your position like this can change your game. Conclusion I hope this helps players who want to play an exciting character, or have been struggling playing Ryze in the past. Please post any feedback, I'll be happy to hear it, and so will anyone else who wants to read this guide. |
Thanks mate
that was a big help :) |
very similar to my way of play :)
thanks for the hard work, loving ryze |
I go AP boots -> Lichbane -> Soulstealer -> Zhonya's (usually over by now)
I've had an 1860 crit from normal attacks with Ryze doing this. A simple Prison -> normal attack -> Overload -> normal attack can kill pretty much any hero once you have 300-400 AP. To give an idea of the damage you can do, the above combo will kill one of the buff mobs spawned from a lost inhibitor (which is roughly 3500 dmg I think) |
very nice guide, everything makes a lot of sense and sets people up for some epic Kill / Death ratio's :P
Stun->Ultimate->Taunt them in chat for being bad
That's how I see 95% of Ryze played, nice to see someone thinking of using his other abilities. |
Maxing out Arcane Mastery earlier (instead of Overload) works better for me, actually. You miss out on some burst (it's about +50 dmg/lvl ? but the % current mana and the coefficient stay the same), but it makes last hitting/farming in general much easier, you get more mana, and your dmg vs towers is insane.
It's up to your play style, but from the point of view of this guide, I think it's more viable to maybe pick a one point early (as stated in my guide) and take overload. |
I take a point early sometimes to ignore armor, since most people don't get magic resist until much later.
I agree, arcane mastery is good to have one point in early, for example at level 4, in between your second and third levels of rune prison. As you say it means you get more damage as it's now magical damage, and you get the early boost of +60 mana. |

23andMe is a privately held personal genomics and biotechnology company based in Mountain View, California. The company is named for the 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human cell.[1] Its saliva-based direct-to-consumer (DTC) personal genome test was named Invention of the Year by Time magazine in 2008.[2] In 2013 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered 23andMe to discontinue marketing its personal genome service as the company had not obtained the legally required regulatory approval resulting in concerns about the potential consequences of customers receiving inaccurate health results.[3] The company still sells a personal genome test without health-related results.[4]
The company was founded by Linda Avey, Paul Cusenza and Anne Wojcicki to provide genetic testing and interpretation to individual consumers.[5][6] Cusenza left the company in 2007 and was appointed CEO of Nodal Exchange in 2008.[7] Avey left the company in 2009 and co-founded Curious, Inc. in 2011.[8]
23andMe began offering DTC genetic testing in November 2007. Customers provide a saliva testing sample that is partially SNP genotyped and results are posted online.[5][9][10] In 2008, when the company was offering estimates of "predisposition for more than 90 traits and conditions ranging from baldness to blindness", Time magazine named the product Invention of the Year.[2]
Uninterpreted raw genetic data is posted online and may be downloaded by customers.[11] Customers who bought tests with an ancestry-related component have online access to genealogical DNA test results and tools including a relative matching database. Customers who bought tests with a health-related component and received health-related results before November 22, 2013 have online access to an assessment of inherited traits and genetic disorder risks.[4][12][13] Health-related results for customers who purchased the test from November 22, 2013 have been suspended while undergoing an FDA regulatory review.[14][15]
As of March 2014, 23andMe has genotyped approximately 650,000 individuals. FDA marketing restrictions have reduced customer growth.[16]
In late 2009 23andMe split its genotyping service into three products with different prices, an Ancestry Edition, a Health edition, and a Complete Edition.[17] This decision was reversed a year later when the different products were recombined.[18] In late 2010 the company introduced a monthly subscription fee for updates based on new medical research findings.[18][19] The subscription model proved unpopular with customers and was eliminated in mid-2012.[20] As of December 5, 2013, 23andMe is only selling raw genetic data and ancestry-related results.[14][4][15]
The price of the full DTC testing service has reduced from $999 in 2007 to $99 in 2012,[21] and it is effectively being sold as a loss leader in order to build a valuable customer database.[11][22][23]
Aggregated customer data is studied by scientific researchers employed by 23andMe in order to better understand inherited disorders. The large pool of data in its customer database has also attracted the interest of academics and other partners,[16] including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.[11][24]
23andMe provides services related to some specific medical research initiatives,[25] providing confidential customer datasets to and partnering with researchers to establish genetic associations with specific illnesses and disorders.[5] One analysis comparing 23andMe's Parkinson's disease research with a National Institutes of Health initiative suggested that the company's use of large amounts of computational power and datasets might offer comparable results, although in much less time.[26]
In 2007, Google invested $3,900,000 in the company, along with Genentech, New Enterprise Associates, and Mohr Davidow Ventures.[27] In 2012, 23andMe raised $50 million in a Series D venture round, almost doubling its existing capital of $52.6 million.[21][28][29]
The new genetic testing service and ability to map significant portions of the genome has raised controversial questions, including whether the results can be interpreted meaningfully and whether they will lead to genetic discrimination.[2][11] The regulatory environment for testing companies has been uncertain and anticipated risk-based regulation catering for different types of genetic tests has not yet materialized.[18][30][31]
In 2008 it was reported that the states of New York and California unsuccessfully attempted to block such tests, provided by 23andMe as well as other companies, under the grounds that they were not properly licensed and attempted to require tests to be conducted only when ordered by a physician.[2][32][33] By August 2008, 23andMe had received licenses that allow them to continue to do business in California.[34]
According to Anne Wojcicki, 23andMe has been in dialogue with the FDA since 2008.[31] In 2010 the FDA notified several genetic testing companies, including 23andMe, that their genetic tests are considered medical devices and federal approval is required to market them.[18][35] 23andMe first submitted applications for FDA clearance in July and September 2012.[3] On November 22, 2013, after not hearing from 23andMe for six months, the FDA ordered 23andMe to stop marketing its Saliva Collection Kit and Personal Genome Service (PGS) as 23andMe had not demonstrated that they have "analytically or clinically validated the PGS for its intended uses" and the "FDA is concerned about the public health consequences of inaccurate results from the PGS device".[3][36][37] As of December 2, 2013, 23andMe has stopped all advertisements for its PGS test but is still selling the product.[38][39] As of December 5, 2013, 23andMe is only selling raw genetic data and ancestry-related results.[14][4][15]
According to science writer Razib Khan, this development ultimately will not matter as raw genetic results can be obtained cheaply from international genome sequencing firms and open source tools to analyse such data using published scientific research are freely available.[40] Ronald Bailey writes in Reason Magazine: "The FDA bureaucrats think that they know better than you how to handle your genetic information. This is outrageous."[41] Technology writer Timothy B. Lee argues in the Washington Post against the FDA preventing consumer access to personal health information provided by 23andMe, stating that any risky medical decisions patients made based on 23andMe's services would require the involvement of licensed medical professionals.[42] TechFreedom promoted a petition asking the FDA not to ban 23andMe's home genome testing kits.[41] Science and medicine writer Matthew Herper was more critical of 23andMe, writing in Forbes magazine: "The FDA probably felt it had little choice. This is not the story of a big regulator choosing to squash a small company, but of a company that decided that it didn't have to follow the rules."[43]
23andMe publicly responded to media reports on November 25, 2013, stating, "We recognize that we have not met the FDA's expectations regarding timeline and communication regarding our submission. Our relationship with the FDA is extremely important to us and we are committed to fully engaging with them to address their concerns."[40][44][45] Anne Wojcicki subsequently posted an update on the 23andMe website, stating: "This is new territory for both 23andMe and the FDA. This makes the regulatory process with the FDA important because the work we are doing with the agency will help lay the groundwork for what other companies in this new industry do in the future. It will also provide important reassurance to the public that the process and science behind the service meet the rigorous standards required by those entrusted with the public's safety."[31]
On December 5, 2013, 23andMe announced that it has suspended health-related genetic tests for customers who purchased the test from November 22, 2013 in order to comply with the FDA warning letter while undergoing regulatory review.[14][4][15]
In May 2014 it was reported that 23andMe was exploring alternative locations abroad including Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom in which to offer its full genetic testing service.[46]
On November 27, 2013, 23andMe customer Lisa Casey filed a class action lawsuit against 23andMe in the Southern California federal district court for misleading advertising of its PGS test "when there is no analytical or clinical validation for the PGS for its intended uses". Casey is suing for at least $5 million in damages, representing the aggregate of the $99 PGS test purchase price paid by thousands of customers the plaintiff believes to be in the class.[47][48][49]
On December 19, 2013, another class action lawsuit was filed against 23andMe for misleading advertising by Tara Stefani and Tanya Vullanueva in the Massachusetts federal district court.[50]

It's common to find four corners on the majority of pillows, but deliberate points are a different story. The Sisters Mountain Range Pillow features five vertexes, to be precise, each taking an sharp acute angle.
Made by Three Bad Seeds, the cushion naturally remains quite comfortable. From the Pacific Northwest of the United States, designer Amanda cuts every single pattern by hand from high-quality repurposed wool. Along with the twin Peaks version of the pillow, the charming product is stitched in gray material, with white fabric at the summits to give the impression of snow.
Inspired by the alpine landscape of Bend, Oregon, the Sisters Mountain Range Pillow and the Peak complement each other and serve as whimsical decorative cushions.

... it will never be the Year of Linux in the Desktop.
I'd LOVE to use linux in the Desktop always (I love the Open Source philosophy) however, this kind of things make it hard.
Now what? Ubuntu users moving AGAIN to another distro? Mint? I do not know.
KDE/GNOME/Unity/X11/Mate/Cinnamon/LXDE/etc/etc/etc and still LibreOffice looks like Office 97.
I've decided a while ago to stay with debian, even if it does not look that "eye candy". Anyway, I'm old enough to not care at all if my desktop can not spin like a cube.
If someone cares about Linux in the Desktop, please stop this. Ubuntu is too popular between linux newbies, do not disappoint them. Please.

Quite off topic but I can't help to say it: it's amazing how Apple, in the iPhone5 video, mentions the new connector as a new feature, and as if it was a gift from God, they say that it's reversible.
We can not deny they're marketing genius, the way they do those videos with Jony Ive and the other guy acting skills describing characteristics already in other devices as a incredible step in technology history, like LTE.
"We've created the new, much smaller lightning connector." Wow, what would this world be without it?
"And we made it reversible, so it fits either way." Thanks for explaining me that it fits either way, when I heard reversible, I did not catch it.
(My karma went from "Excellent" to "Good" recently, don't be so hard, please).

Your comment really makes sense, made me think twice about what I wrote.
Maybe, it would have been better to make this announcement as a solid promise of a good driver, a work in progress with a bright future instead of saying that it went stable with the "exceptions" mentioned.
Re:Nothng but Hate (231 comments)
It's not hate, it's being realistic.
If this "news" where about a group of students that, for a homework did that driver, that can considered brilliant.
But how can someone expect that we should praise this that works only "if you don't care about performance or are fine with running hardware that's a few generations old.".
Not disrespecting the people working on this, but in the real world, this is not practical at all. Stable: maybe; but incomplete for sure.

Pirates and Haunted Mansion. No matter how many times I go on these rides, I always see something new or a different way than I saw it the last time.
Pirates or Indy. Indy because of the many different ride sequences that I could experience. Pirates because I am always seeing something new and Stinky Foot and I are great pals.
Haunted Mansion Holiday! I can never get bored of that ride and I love the smell of gingerbread in the ballroom.
all day! It would have to be the Mark Twain for me
without Love in a dream, it will never come true...
Haunted Mansion and POTC, with a lunch break for the vegetarian Monte Cristo sandwich at Cafe Orleans.
Over at DCA, I'd ride California Screamin' all day, no doubt about it.
Off topic,but for comparison purposes: My son and I recently went to Universal Studios. On the first day, we slogged through the tour (an hour in line, and then an hour and twenty minutes on the tour, which was delayed when King Kong broke down (that's right, the MOVIE broke down!), and then hit all the other rides except Shrek and Mummy (which my kid refused to do). When we went back the second day -- captive audience until our late afternoon flight out of Burbank -- we rode The Simpsons Ride virtually the entire day. Eight times, with only a break for the Special Effects Show, Shrek 4D, and lunch. I know there may be Universal Studios lovers out there, but aside from The Simpsons Ride, which is one of the best rides I've ever been on, I don't know of a good reason to go back.
Now don't close your eyes, and don't try to hide...

Sounders FC vs. Portland matchup touches a fierce history
Some Seattle Sounders FC players and coaches contend that the rivalry with the Portland Timbers is among the best, if not No. 1, in the United States.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Portland @ Sounders FC,
6 p.m., KONG
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Brian Schmetzer remembers when Seattle-Portland soccer games were bloodbaths.
Back in the 1980s, the days of the old North American Soccer League, reserve matches between the young Sounders and Timbers were more about survival than winning.
"Those games were murder," said Schmetzer, a Sounders FC assistant coach who played on Seattle's early NASL teams.
Some 30 years later, the physical brutality in games between the Pacific Northwest rivals has subsided slightly, but the venom remains.
And in what might be a preview of contentious days to come, the storied rivalry between Seattle and Portland continues Thursday in a preseason exhibition at Qwest Field. Kickoff for the match dubbed the "Community Shield" is at 6 p.m., and proceeds will benefit local charities.
Portland, formerly of the United Soccer Leagues, is currently in the new U.S. Soccer Federation Division 2 Professional League and will join Major League Soccer in the 2011 season.
The enmity with Seattle, however, is already at the major-league level.
Some Sounders FC players and coaches contend that the rivalry with the Timbers is among the best, if not No. 1, in the United States.
"I can only speak for the seven years that I played against Portland, but those seven years had some of the most intense games I have ever been a part of," said defender Zach Scott, a former USL Sounder. "It has definitely ramped up over the last couple years and could easily be the best rivalry in the country."
When asked if that statement holds up, Schmetzer said, "From where I sit in the soccer world, yes."
Alan Hinton, a former English international and ex-Sounders coach, said the rivalry he experienced with Portland in the 1980s compared favorably to those he saw in the English Premier League.
"It was like every other derby around the world," Hinton said. "It was like Manchester United-Manchester City, Arsenal-Tottenham, Chelsea-West Ham. All those rivalries were just the same. And the one with Portland and Seattle, though Vancouver has to be in there too, was just the same."
Nowadays, some Sounders FC players say the rivalry with the Timbers has surpassed that with Vancouver.
Scott said Seattle's rivalry with the Whitecaps is "a little more cordial." Along the same lines, goalkeeper Kasey Keller said the Portland rivalry is "a little bit nastier" and should be noticeable Thursday.
"To say that this is going to be a friendly is probably not the right word choice," Keller said.
One of the key ingredients to the malice is fan support from both teams. The support of Sounders FC fans is widely known, but the Timbers Army is similarly passionate and has earned like praise.
"They're clearly the best supporting group in the USL," said Seattle forward/midfielder Roger Levesque.
Levesque is one of a handful of Sounders FC players who have a history with the Timbers dating back the USL days. His legend in Seattle — and subsequent loathing in Portland — may have reached a pinnacle during a U.S. Open Cup third-round match last July 1, when he celebrated a goal in Seattle's 2-1 win with a "timber chop" re-enactment with some teammates.
"I can't take full credit for that goal celebration," said Levesque with a smile. "It was a group effort brainstorming on the drive down."
But the best of the rivalry, goal celebrations and hard tackles alike, might be yet to come when the Timbers and Whitecaps join MLS next season.
"It's something that's going to be one of the key features of MLS in 2011," Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid said.

I took this course through my Healthful Living class at Millbrook High School. I found the course very informative, and it got me thinking about my future and how to achieve my goals. The instructors are fantastic and include the audience in the lesson. The course really gets you thinking about things that you've never thought about before. I feel much more infomed about being a parent and the responsibities that come with it than I was before, and much more prepared for whatever my future holds.

Greetings, Anime Vice Community. Hope you all have a fun Easter. The news page was a tad slow this week, but we still had Tom and Sam post two VICE PIT this week on PSYCHO-PASS and POKEMON, Alex Eckman-Lawn wrote a new editorial on the Wimpiest Guys in Anime, and his selection was interesting. Would you say someone who lost a leg in one night and still rational enough to think a wimp? We also have a lot of anime season previews posted. All in all, a nice week was had.
This weekend ONE PIECE, DRAGON BALL Z & TORIKO is going to have a big crossover anime special, but it's still in the air if FUNimation will be streaming it. I certainly hope so. This is probably the biggest anime crossover in history.

My truck came with the single cat back Borla exhaust. Im happy with it, but lets just say if i were to buy an exhaust its not what i would have gone with it. Since I do already have it, what would yall suggest I do? I dont wanna turn it into a rice burner. I dont really want to spend over 100$ on the exhaust either. (like muffler, paint, tip, ect)
Today I was installing my new lift. As I was looking at the exhaust I realized something. You can disconnect it right after the muffler! So I did. The entire exhaust is rusted. Im thinking about just doing a turn down right after the muffler. Should I remove it, clean it up, and put it back? Should I spray paint it black? Turn down?
Im curious as to what everyone is running. Please post what you have and suggestions.

Homeless in Hawaii
ARRESTING AND CHARGING THE HOMELESS IS WRONG!!!! What is the law/government doing to help the homeless help themselves? Are there enough shelters in Hawaii to support and aid the homeless? How can the homeless pay a fee when the state does nothing to help them find work? No one can answer these questions! It is up to us (those of us who have a voice-Christians, Saints, Disciples) to teach others to Love and Help mankind, no matter what the person's social status is. How many of us go to church and praise and worship God and claim that we "Know" him,and stand by on the sidelines to allow innocent citizens to be treated inhumanely? Is this the example that our Saviour left behind? NO! He was radical! He did what was out of the ordinary to help someone else. This petition is the voice for those living on the streets of Hawaii, (PARADISE) that does not have a voice. "To Charge the homeless for the only shelter (Tents) that they have is cruel and wrong. To put the homeless in jail because of a shelter that has no option, is WRONG! You/We never know a persons story unless we talk to them...HOW many of you, (the Law makers of Hawaii) have sat down with any of the homeless to find out WHY? Your laws are cruel, wrong, and inhumane! Help the homeless help themselves. BUILD MORE SHELTERS!!!! OFFER MORE PROGRAMS!!!! TEACH and EDUCATE!!! That is a Change we can believe in...

My lithodora is now almost flowerless. In spring it did flower quite a bit but now it is just green. What can I do to make them flower profusely like campanula or aubrieta? Or is lithodora the kind of plants that does not flower so much? I mean, is it wrong to expect lithodoras to cover themselves with flowers like campanulas and aubrietas do?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Perhaps lithodora is a spring flowering plant. It does not winter over here, but when I can get the plants---they do not flower later in the season. Lithodora likes acidic soil also. Caroline |
Kiosk025 is a Dave's garden member and post on the perennial forum and she just showed pictures of her Lithodora "Grace Ward" and she has a lot planted on a slope. Maybe she can help you. I saw the "Grace Ward" yesterday in Bluestone perennials and I'd love to try it. Claredon, why not at least add more to your location than zone 8..maybe there are others in your area that grow this plant and can offer some advice too. |
Zone 8 covers a lot of Texas and western Washington State. Big difference in climate, but share the same cold temps is all. Mike |

I spent way too long looking for a simple Notepad replacement. It seems like that would be easy to find, but most of the other editors really try to cram in too many features, which loads down the program and creates potential for bugs. NoteTab, for instance, is totally inconvenient to use as a Notepad replacement simply because it crams in too much stuff. MetaPad does the job and does it well.

One of the early releases I downloaded had the amusing "feature" of downloading every message in the background - not just headers, full messages, with attachments. According to the bug report, this was intentional, so that your folders would be accessible without being connected to the network, but it never seemed to know where to stop. It was *constantly* and repeatedly downloading messages, and ate 40 some-odd gigs before I noticed it and went back to 2.

Until they stop relying on toxic, storable propellants for their manned launchers, and get a better handle on range safety (referring to the first LM-3B launch which took out a village - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qVaXFhu7NE)... how about *no*.
The propellant issue alone ought to be a show-stopper. We knew storable propellants were a horrible idea during Gemini, but did it anyway for expediency. There was legitimate question whether, during an abort, the astronauts would manage to escape what was termed the BFRC - Big F-ing Red Cloud - created when the booster's tanks ruptured and burned.
Backports FTW (211 comments)
Congratulations. It's now your job to check every *single* *freaking* *package* where the DISA specs proscribe a particular version, and see whether or not your vendor backported the security fix. Usually the DISA specs will contain a vulnerability id (CVE-ID or similar) that you can reference against. Google is your friend. The overall process is murder. It's a big reason why I got out of government IT. On a related note, I find the Linux vendor practice of keeping old version numbers, but backporting new fixes into their own trees (Red Hat's "version x.y.z-ELsomeothernumber" system for example) to be categorically infuriating, but that's a different rant. --jwriney

In an ideal world, food can supply all the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients you need for good health. Unfortunately, many of us don't live in an ideal world, so food alone doesn't always cover the bases as many people do not eat the quantities and variety of fresh whole foods needed for optimal nutrient intake. In the United States, for example, only about a quarter of us eat the recommended 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day, and only 14% hit the target of 3 to 5 fruit servings daily. And for certain groups--the very young, the elderly, people with chronic diseases, and women of childbearing age--vitamin and mineral supplements can make the difference between health and illness. In all these cases, vitamins do indeed work and the effects are supported by strong research.
For all of these reasons, vitamin and mineral supplements can be a smart investment. A basic multivitamin can be a good place to start. Ask your doctor or dietitian about additional supplements that may help you meet your health and wellness goals.
While many vitamins, minerals, and herbs are known to safely prevent or treat a variety of diseases, they work just like a medicine from your pharmacy--by altering your body chemistry. So before supplementing, it's important to learn about possible side effects and especially how each product might interact with medications you already take.
There are times when teaming up a specific supplement with a medication can benefit health, such as when a medicine is depleting vital nutrients from your body. In this case, an extra vitamin supplement may protect your health--but it's always a good idea to check. It's also important not to discontinue or change a medication or dosages in favor of a natural treatment, unless supervised by a doctor.
You'll need to do your own research to find out about the potential benefits and risks of a supplement. start with a knowledgeable healthcare professional before taking any supplements, especially if you are already treating a medical condition. Also, special safety considerations apply to pregnant or breast-feeding women, children, and seniors.
Scientific research about potential medication and dietary supplement interactions can be found in Healthnotes Rx Answers. For reported side effects of a specific herb or dietary supplement, look it up in Vitamins & Herbs.
In the scientific process, scientists never consider one single study to be the last word; rather, each new study is considered in light of previous research and becomes part of the medical community's discussion.
When the news media report on new studies, they tend to look for the sensational. Though hundreds of studies are published every year showing the benefits of herbs and nutrients for a wide range of diseases, studies that make the news are frequently those that claim a supplement is dangerous or doesn't work. On the other hand, some research is conducted by groups that stand to profit from positive results, such as a supplement manufacturer "proving" that their supplement (particularly proprietary mixtures) works for a particular health condition.
The next time you see a headline splashed across the news--especially about those supplements that continue to be the subject of heated debate, such as St. John's wort, echinacea, vitamin E, vitamin C, and ginkgo--consider the following:
Caution: You should never discontinue or change medication dosages, and/or begin a different treatment without a doctor's supervision.
When you consider treatment options, discuss the following with your healthcare provider:
Talking with a knowledgeable professional, asking questions, and using a science-based resource that includes up-to-date research will help you interpret the significance of scientific findings. Being informed is the best way to make smart health decisions.

Hell... that Mayuri; that was simply awesome. The way he finished Szayel Aporro, I mean.
Hell... that Mayuri; that was simply awesome. The way he finished Szayel Aporro, I mean.
The whole chapter's up on onemanga.com, and after reading through it...
After seeing all those SFX(along with Renji and Ishida's horrified expressions) Im pretty much gonna have nightmares thinking of what Mayuri did to Nemu to crank her back to 100% ... eurgh. *shudders*
That said, the hanging bodies are definitely Cirucci and Dordooni (NOT Yoruichi like someone up there said), seeing that the exequias (did I spell that right?) captured them and it's implicitly stated by Szayel that he researched Cirucci giving him an edge over Ishida's powers when they initially met. Wonder if they're alive...nah, I highly doubt it. Then again, there's Tite Kubo's 'nobody really dies' policy...
And now, about time the spotlight focuses on Kenpachi and Nnotoira. As usual, Nnotoira's boasting about being 'unbreakable' but that's going to be fixed with a good Zaraki-style-eyepatch-removal powerup, eh?

Innocence proves nothing.
Ah, Mayuri gains more respect from me with his lecture on science and perfection.
I half expect Kenpachi to punch / bitchslap Nnotoira in the face. You know, since he's bragging about being uncuttable, Kenpachi can simply hurt him in other ways. XP
Or go the Ikkaku way and try to use force to make him arm slide off. Not that it worked with Ikkaku... >_>
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that too. It shows a new, albeit more sophisticated and refined side to the normally merciless, psychotic and single-minded scientist he normally is, a new depth of complexity that makes me reconsider thinking of him only as a creepy weirdo that loves to experiment on living or dead bodies, along with that unnerving habit of peforming surgeries on himself.
My small small bubble of respect lasted until he found Nemu's withered body, sighed and proceeded to...well...I dont exactly know what he did, and I really don't want to know.

Kenpachi's blade being fixed and the lack of Yachiru scares me tbh
Kenpachi is deff gonna use his banki. Even with his eye patch removed. Meh! my guess. I WANT MORE ZARAKI FIGHTS. One can never get enough of his fights. damn, i giggle like a school girl (i'm a boy) when ever i see his fights. So beautiful. *sigh*
bet the next chp will have some line like:
zaraki:you remind me of my old self when I'm boasting to Ichigo that his blade won't even cut me
bla bla bla next he mentioned his zanpakuto's name or maybe...just his shikai is enough...
and I wonder what does the goat have to do with science???
and nemu is....hot
that goat is related to the previous chapter, in the first pages, where you see zayael portraited as Jesus on the cross. The goat is simply the opposite, that is, satan or lucifer. interestingly enough, mayuri's horn-like things fit perfectly.
As for the relation to science, maybe it's because scientists were always in some way, against religion, and as such, considered 'evil'.

I'm 5'9 and 175... what size would you recommend? Large or Medium? Also I swim at college so I can get down to 165 at any given time in the season.
medium. you only need to go by height because there is a bunch of extra room in the middle of the Ninjasuit. I'm 6 feet, the medium was too short and the large fits just right.
I'm 5'9" about 160 and the medium is perfect length wise, you'll just fill it out a bit more. Oh and the Marino is worth the extra cash, wash it less, won't pill.. Soo soft. But either way you'll be smug while wearin one of these bad boys.

A 19-year-old Osceola County man was arrested on Wednesday after authorities said he had sex with a 9-year-old.
Officials said Denzell Browne is charged with capital sexual battery.
Deputies said they received information from the Department of Children and Families about a possible sexual battery.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Browne forced the 9-year-old to have sex with him in June 2013, a news release said.
According to investigators, Browne cooperated with the investigation and admitted to the information the victim told detectives.

LV= Cup: Corbisiero and Geraghty to make first starts of the season for Exiles

Alex Corbisiero will make his first start of the season when London Irish host Sale Sharks in LV= Cup action on Sunday.
The England prop has now fully recovered from a knee injury sustained whilst on international duty in South Africa during the summer and is picked in the front row for the game at the Madejski Stadium.
Corbisiero is not the only player to be starting for the Exiles for the first time in the campaign, with Shane Geraghty selected at inside centre.
Geraghty has made five substitute appearances in his second spell with the capital club but gets the chance to impress from the off this time, director of rugby naming him alongside Guy Armitage in Irish's midfield.
Sale, meanwhile, will be looking for history to repeat itself - they defeated London Irish 21-9 last Friday to record their first win in the Aviva Premiership.
The much-changed visitors will be captained by scrum-half Dwayne Peel, though Danny Cipriani is retained alongside his skipper in the No.10 jersey.
Props Eifion Lewis-Roberts and Vadim Cobilas both start after coming off the bench at Edgeley Park last time out; Tommy Taylor is retained at hooker.
James Gaskell also get a starting berth in the second row while Andy Powell's selection means Richie Vernon switches to the number seven shirt. The pair are joined in the back row by Mark Easter.
London Irish: 15. Anthony Watson; 14. Topsy Ojo; 13. Guy Armitage; 12. Shane Geraghty; 11. Sailosi Tagicakibau; 10. Ian Humphreys; 9. Darren Allinson; 1. Alex Corbisiero; 2. Brian Blaney; 3.

What they said...
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith
"We will be picking the strongest side possible for Sunday. We are going into the LV= Cup with the intent to go as far as we can.
"Regardless of whether it's the Aviva Premiership, JP Morgan Sevens, the Amlin Challenge Cup or the LV=Cup, we want to win trophies.
"Consequently we'll be selecting very strong teams to play in every competitive match this season. There is risk associated with this strategy but we are trying to build a winning culture so there is method in the madness."

The political agenda has been set by the debates over the Judiciary for quite a long time. The Judiciary-based discussions have remained at the top of the political agenda during the judiciary-military tutelary partnership, the political struggle with the tutelage and the post-military tutelage as the Judiciary is placed in the context of a new tutelary center nowadays. The expectation of justice from the Judiciary is seriously harmed as the Judiciary has remained in the center of discussions in each period.
In consequence, the need for an overall judicial reform is heightened day-by-day. Although the 22-article amendment package in the parliament falls short of fulfilling the need for a structural reform, the package includes radical modifications in the Judiciary-related deliberations that have continued for quite some time.
The Special Authority Courts (ÖYM) and the Special Prosecution Offices (ÖYS) are being abolished; the cases in these courts are being transferred to high criminal courts. Maximum 10-year retention time applied for offenses in the jurisdiction of the ÖYMs is being reduced to five years.
In addition, new measures are being introduced for the oversight of monitoring and wire-tapping provisions; therefore, relevant measures are subject to regulation. From now on:
- The power of arbitration rests with the court, instead of a judge, on the condition of unanimity;
- A copy of data obtained from the personal computers confiscated is handed to the owner; therefore, possible subsequent forgery of documents is prevented;
- Petitions for bugging phones should be accompanied by an authentication document proving the owner of the phone in question; therefore, wire-tapping anonymous users, those who cannot be identified through the IMEI or phone numbers, are being prevented;
- Duration of tapping is reduced from six months to three months and the extension period is limited to three months;
- Duration of technical tapping is cut from eight weeks to four weeks and the period of extension for audio surveillance is limited to four weeks;
- For the protection of private data, penalties for those who keep, or spread, personal records of others without consent are also being increased.
Most of the articles eliminated or amended in this package have been the topic of discussions for a long time. The same articles were providing legitimacy through the objective of cleaning the political system from pro-tutelary elements by enabling the trial of pro-tutelary actors. Many "special authorities" had been handed over to the State Security Courts (DGMs) because of terrorism. Politics, however, endorsed the transfer of special authorities to the ÖYMs in the absence of the DGMs because of another mission – the mission of struggling with tutelage.
In other words, the tug of war with tutelage was considered as an unnamed "extraordinary state" and the judicial mechanism was granted with the permission to have "extraordinary" authorities solely for this particular goal. Political and public legitimacy of the ÖYMs was to tackle with the tutelage. But in time, fight against terrorism was added to the struggle with the tutelage and some files were actually opened for trial such as the Ergenekon, the Sledgehammer and the KCK cases.
Along the process, arbitrary and long duration of detentions; inattentive indictments; violation of personal privacy and privacy of investigations; long periods of trials; questions about evidence and the close-circuitry in the Security-Judiciary-Media triangle disturbed many consciences. However, the problems were postponed by considering the indispensability of the fight against tutelage. The September 12, 2010 referendum politically, and the first verdicts in the Ergenekon and the Sledgehammer cases actually, have brought the "special authority" period to an end.
Special authority autonomous structure
Although the political ground for special authorities disappeared, no attempt had been made for a regulation to normalize the Judiciary; as a result, Turkey faced a bigger crisis in the end. The dates of February 7, 2012 and December 17, 2013 created a general reputation that the Judiciary, already equipped with special authorities for the fight against the tutelage, conducts like an autonomous structure following its own agenda. According to this reputation voiced by the political power and widely accepted by the social perception, this structure that has undertaken a role to struggle with tutelage, exploits its special authorities in order to weaken the political power, take over institutions and design and destabilize politics.
In fact, special authorities granted to the Judiciary due to the special circumstances of the tutelary system--even in the absence of a parallel or an autonomous structure with a special agenda—would be harming the normalization of politics in the post-tutelary period. However, adding an autonomous structure to this objective ground has both caused the democratic system to face the threat of a new type of tutelage and harmed the legitimacy of the judicial processes in the fight against tutelage.
A group within the Judiciary abused these special authorities given to the Judiciary for the sake of democratic sensitivity, and betrayed this sensitivity. Today, these special authorities put on the shoulders of politics the responsibility to clean the past and build the future. On the one hand, politics has to tackle this autonomous structure, which has become a new center of tutelage; and on the other hand, it has to filter out the violations made in the lawsuits that were handled by this structure, without causing any harm to the fight against tutelage.
The initial step could be to normalize the Judiciary by abolishing its privileges derived from the "extraordinary state" of affairs. The amendment to the law that has been proposed in the parliament will both provide a transition to a normal lawful regime and remove the legal privileges that the autonomous structure has nurtured from.
The September 12, 2010 referendum was symbolizing the end of this "extraordinary state" of fight against tutelage while it was also requiring regulation to strip off the "special authorities" granted to the Judiciary.
The new regulation has been accomplished with delay at the cost of the February 7, 2012 (the intelligence) crisis. The regulations made after February 7, 2012 should have included the amendments of today; there was a delay however. The said regulations are being carried into effect nowadays due to a second and more serious crisis following the December 17, 2013 operation (against the government).
In this scope, the regulation proposed to the parliament sets a critical step for the normalization of the Judiciary during the construction process of a democratic political system. It also ends the "extraordinary state" and the judicial regime of this period. The ultimate goal must be to dissuade the Judiciary branch from interfering in politics by pulling it back to the domain of its procedural legal duties and boundaries.
