What kind of runes I buy? Im new
Senior Member
A popular set for AD carries are Attack Damage Quints, Armor Pen Reds, Flat Armor Yellows, MR / Level or Flat MR Blues.
Kame Senpai
The math from a reign of gaming blog post showed that ad quints + ad reds were the best choice until the enemy had 100 armor (basically everyone other than the tank).
For a basic and good steady AD runes, I would use Armor Penetration Marks (Reds), Flat Armor Seals (Yellows), and Attack Speed Glyphs or Magic Resist Glyphs (Blues) depending on what champion you want to use most for these runes. And you may choose AD quints or Armor Penetration quints, again, choose between these 2 depending on what champion you want to use most for these runes, and are best for them. I recommend using Magic Resist Glyphs when you want to use Garen a lot, thats because he is a good tank with some powerful moves in early game. If you want Attack Speed Glyphs, I recommend using those for lets say...Master Yi, Jax, Udyr, And so on. If you really want to jungle, here are some great jungling champions and don't cost so much IP: Jax, Master Yi (A Little Hard To Get Used To But He's A Good Jungler), Amumu, and theres much more great champions that can jungle but these are cheap ones. I think Amumu should be really highly recommended, because on my opinion, he's the best jungler! He can sustain well in jungle because he is a good tank, and he has good AoE abilities, Like his E Tantrum, and his W Despair. For all junglers I think you should really get always attack speed glyphs at least. Well that's really all I got for AD Runes, I hope this helps!!!

That depends on your champ, and what exactly you want to do doesn't it? It's very subjective. try asking something more specific like: What would the best AD Carry runes before newchampofmine in a dominion game cause that is WAY different then an AD Carry for oldchampofmine who thinks they can jungle. :-)
GG Crono
Armor yellows, MR blues and armor pen quints are the standards. Whether or not you want AD reds or arpen reds depends on whether or not you want to do more damage early-game or late-game.
two other things to consider: 1) Alot of recent champions have abilities scale off of bonus AD instead of total nowadays; Riven being the ultimate example. Going AD runes not only buffs her damage, but the mitigation on her E as well, in addition to being wrapped up in her +%bonus AD on her R. 2) Last Whisper. All AD Carries should buy it. Flat ArPen contributes less when you have significant %ArPen, so if you opt for less flat ArPen try to get your Last Whisper earlier.
Silent Reaper
One of the most often used Pages is Armor Penetration Marks Flat Damage Quints Flat Armor Seals Glyphs of your choice.

Compact NFO Viewer User Reviews
Results 1-5 of 5
"A Solid and "Compact NFO Viewer""
Version: Compact NFO Viewer 1.5.6
-the utility is compact
-requires no installation
-"properly" displays NFO files
-simple to use
-user can customize the font and background color
-it's free
-works on WinXP, 7, and 8 CPCons
-it displays some plugs for "similar" products in a column on the right side, but you can easily hide it and it didn't reappear on my system
-pretty simple to use, but if you are a complete newb, you may not know how to set it as the default NFO viewer since there isn't an installation routine to do it for you, but this isn't difficultSummary
I don't know what the people with negative reviews are on about. Ignore them. One negative review says it's garbage because there is no setup and it's just an exe file... That's actually a -benefit- of the software for anyone that knows how to use a computer, and it clearly says in the editor's review that the program is "completely portable requiring no installation or extraction". So if time was wasted by someone getting "just an exe file", perhaps they should spend more time reading the review. Another reviewer says "not necessary". Well.. not necessary can be said for MANY things in life. Sports cars aren't necessary, but would you down rate one if it was given to you because it "isn't necessary"? Sure you can get by without this app. Notepad WILL work in a pinch if you configure it to display correctly, but this app still looks better and is more convenient once you set it as the default for NFO files. The app does what it claims, does it well, has no hidden surprises, it's lightweight, simple to use, AND IT'S FREE. I figure that's worth 4/5 in my book.
"It opens NFO files just like it says..."
Version: Compact NFO Viewer 1.5.6
Small, nothing to install. Pretty colors
None 10char
Sure, I could use Notepad for NFO viewing but then I'd be missing out on all the colors. I like how it makes the NFO files look like the old BBS days from when I was like12.
I tried Damn NFO Viewer but it had me download an installer of some sort. Looked like it was trying to install a toolbar so I canceled it. -
"Open the NFO file with notepad."
Version: Compact NFO Viewer 1.5.6
not necessary.
not necessary.
not necessary.
"Compact & simple - Does exactly what it aims to do"
Version: Compact NFO Viewer 1.5.6
Very simple - nice small file.
Can't think of any
"Absolutely terrible"
Version: Compact NFO Viewer 1.5.6
None! Don't bother with this and just download "DAMN NFO VIEWER"-[tried, trusted, easy to install and make the default nfo viewer]
no setup, just an exe file. Ridiculous. Complete waste of my god damn time.
This software is just crap

DH and I want to give each other new pots and pans for Christmas. Since we will most likely be celebrating the holidays with a totally gutted kitchen, it seemed an appropriate gift. We also plan to get new dinnerware when we christen the finished kitchen, as a well-deserved reward for all the inconvenience we've lived with.
Anyway, we've been cooking very happily with Revereware since the beginning of our marriage, but realize there must be new and better cookware that has come onto the market over the years. A friend bought T-Fal a while ago, and more recently other friends recommended Calphalon as well as Pampered Chef pots and pans. Does anyone have any information and experience with specific brands and grades? For instance, when I looked at Calphalon in a store this weekend, I saw that there are several "tiers" with corresponding price tiers. What is the difference in quality? Our cooktop will be a Wolf electric smoothtop, in case it makes a difference. We would appreciate any pointers as to where we should start looking, and what we should look for. And if anyone has any recommendations, we'd like to hear the "whats and whys." Thanks for any help you can provide!! PS: It's now less than 3 months until Christmas........

Hi middlechild..saw your posting in kitchens but thought I would respond here. We used to cook w/ Farberware for years, and then DH got me a starter set of All Clad. I just love it! It heats up quickly and cooks evenly, and the stainless version can go in the dishwasher. I will say that it takes a little diligence to keep clean - especially if you want it to stay nice and shiny. I recommend Barkeeper's Friend to get rid of any spots or stubborn stains - it works in a snap. For non-stick, I've heard that Scanpan has a pretty good product out, and I've ordered one of their frying pans to check it out. Your'e supposed to be able to use metal utensils in it with no problem, and the reviews say that the non-stick quality is very good. |
I recommend not buying s "set"....buy a different pan for what you want to use it for. I would start out with 2 good quality non-stick fry pans....aluminum not stainless, heats better. I like a 6 inch and a 10 inch, Then you will want a Le Cruset....or other enameled cast iron Dutch oven...at least 16 cup, with a lid. And a fry or gratin pan that goes from stove top to oven....like a cast iorn fry pan or a enameled cast iron one, You will need a stock pot, I like a clad bottom with stainless interior....and a lid. And a couple of utility pans for heating canned beans, or re heating soup, boiling a few potatoes etc. I don't much care for Calphalon....tossed one small pan in the trash.....still have another....but it's big, expensive and rarely used.

Definitive, one of my favorites!! this dress is so gorgeous and versatile that you can wear it in any occassion. I used the pattern from Patrones (July 2007), this belongs to Louis Vuitton spring collection of 2007.
pattern is very simple, the bodice and the bias little skirt in 2 colors. Sticking the ribbon was very complicated considering I dont have the sewing pop so I have to glue it with the dress on my body, after that operation I made some stitches on the ribbon for a better fixation.
It was just a nice coincidence to find the perfect pair of shoes in the perfect color!!!

Demonology 101: the Imp {WoW}
Sep 13th 2008 6:58PM I would absolutely love not having everyone tell me what to pull out demon-wise in an instance. The imp is the most common. I know my demons and I'm knowledgeable enough to pull up the right ones in raids/heroics in any given situation. I've ran enough by now to know what works, but sometimes a PuG will request the imp for stamina buff at times when it's like um yeah the extra health won't work as well as having a heavy dps here, but i still feel inclined to summon the little guy. If you see a tank with HP lower than yours as a lock, before you get involved, and they require you to bring out your imp, DROP THE GROUP!
Ask WoW Insider: How to PuG Heroics {WoW}
Aug 27th 2008 6:11PM LFG works pretty well for me on my server if I'm pugging it. If you think you're gears low, then you should run some reg instances first. It will be even more difficult getting into pug's on your toon if you're in a heroic and people don't think you're holding your own weight. Before you hit 70, you should have a couple of decent healers and tanks on your friends list... if not, go out and make some. It really pays off when you only have to find 2 dps for a pug, plus you'll have experience running with the same tank and heals. Also, use the note section in LFG to sell yourself.
Alt Text just short of the real bribe {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2008 3:30PM The only problem I have with the level jumps is that it creates players who aren't as "experienced." 0-45 in 1.5 days is ridiculous! How many times have you guys made fun of players for E-Baying their toons?? I was in an instance with a 70 lock that didn't even know what curses were... She e-Bayed her toon... YAY! Obviously the R-a-F scheme isn't as bad, but you actually do need the time and experience to figure out the mechanics of your toon in order to play it better. And, yes I will QQ over the fact that I had to put more time into getting to 70 before this scheme came out because I ultimately spent more money to get where I'm at then these players are. I wish they would have postponed this practice until WotLK came out when DK's can start at a higher level and the level cap is 80.

Meeting with AF and Navy Recruiters - page 2
Hi all, I'm meeting with a recruiter from the AF and one from the Navy next week to talk about Nursing in both of these branches. Anyone have any advice for me going into these meetings? Possibly... Read More
0Sep 6, '12 by chelaurenI called the number for my local recruitment branch towards the end of the day and they pawned me off on some other guy after I told them I was interested in coming in with my BSN as a nurse. That guy brought a medical officer recruiter to our initial meeting and I've been working with him ever since.
0Sep 7, '12 by navyman7I would take a look at the thread titled: Military Nursing Questions Answered for lots of different info and opinions. Remember to take what recruiters say with a grain of salt. There job is to make whatever branch they are representing sound like the best thing ever. before you sign, make sure that you speak to current AD nurses that ARE NOT recruiters. You will get a more real sense of what the job is really like. I was duped by some recruiters who had worked as nurses but were now recruiters and they left out some pretty important details. Good luck.

MISSOULA — Several had heard entirely too much about the case in bars. One said she was a die-hard University of Montana Grizzlies fan, probably unable to be impartial. And another felt deeply uncomfortable with what he saw as the "he said-she said" nature of some date rape cases.
So it went Friday as one potential juror after another in the rape trial of former Montana Grizzlies quarterback Jordan Johnson was dismissed during questioning of the jury pool.
Prosecution questions took most of the day; the defense began its part of the voir dire process just after 4:30 p.m. The trial recessed at 5 p.m., with jury selection to resume Monday in the Missoula County Courthouse.
Friday's voir dire was held at the Holiday Inn Downtown because of the unusually large jury pool of 400 people originally summoned for the case. When the trial began Friday morning, that number had been whittled to about 170, with many others dismissed throughout the day — some during voir dire, others after private consultations with Missoula County District Court Judge Karen Townsend and the attorneys.
Throughout the day, Johnson sat at the defense table, flanked by defense attorney Kirsten Pabst and paralegal Becky Murphy. Co-counsel David Paoli repeatedly held up, so that it faced jurors, what appeared to be a large poster of a railroad train.
The other side was covered with sticky notes with information about individual jurors; the prosecution had a board identical in every respect but one — the side of the board without the notes was blank.
Most of the day consisted of questions from Assistant Attorney General Joel Thompson to a batch of 39 potential jurors from whom 12 jurors and five alternates eventually will be chosen. The faces of many of those 39 people changed throughout the day as some were excused and others replaced them.
Questions focused on matters of fairness and impartiality, and attitudes and beliefs about rape, especially acquaintance or date rape.
Johnson, 20, is accused of raping a fellow UM student on Feb. 4, 2012, as the two watched a movie in her home.
Did people agree, Thompson wondered, with the statement, "If a woman gets the engine started, she's kind of stuck with the consequences."
In the jury box, people shook their heads.
"At what point can a woman say no to sex?" Thompson asked. "At any point? Even during?"
"No means no," several, both men and women, responded to that and similar questions.
Thompson also asked potential jurors about whether they thought a woman must physically resist an assault. Although some said they couldn't imagine not fighting, they said they'd be willing to listen to expert testimony as to how victims might react in different scenarios.
Potential jurors told both Thompson, and — during his brief turn Friday at posing the questions, Paoli — that they'd also welcome testimony from experts on topics such as injuries that might or might not be suffered, and how someone's psychological history, both before and after a sexual assault, might come into play.
Before Paoli began his questions, he asked Johnson to stand.
"This is Jordan Johnson. This is the man that we're talking about, the young man. He's a football player. This is not about football," Paoli said. "He's a man who's fighting for his life."
Paoli continued in that vein for a few more moments, until Thompson objected on the grounds that Paoli had veered into opening-statement territory.
Townsend agreed, and Paoli launched into his questions. As long as a jury is seated by a reasonable hour Monday, actual opening statements will be held then.

I really wanted to stay at this park but was concerned about driving under the tunnel so we decided not go go here. However, we parked at a nearby campground and drove over to this park. Our 5th wheel would not fit under the tunnel to the entrance but there was another entrance however you would need directions to get there. You would also need to drive over a ford so if there was a lot of rain that entrance would probably not work. My suggestion is to call first before coming here. The park was very wooded and looked like there was a lot to do. - sherp108
For the price this Park is in our top 20 campgrounds of 137 visited within the last three years. The Park from reservation to actual stay was pleasant, quiet and soothing. The Park sits atop a lovely Ridge "Devils Backbone" approx. 1000+ feet. Although there are not many amenities here, the park is very clean, has large sites and is sound. The Park, Camp Hosts couples were amazingly friendly and accommodating. This park in not far from the town of Winterset, Iowa and birthplace Museum of John Wayne. Additionally the home county of the "Madison County Bridges" which is not far off I-80. We can assure you, your stay here will be most relaxing and comforting. We stayed for 4 days in our 5th Wheel. WE WILL RETURN HERE someday in passing thru the area for sure. Thank you Pammel Park, IA. - jtl
The park's north entrance has a beautiful stone tunnel. We need 11 feet to enter and we had lots of room. The east entrance is a gravel road, but with no tunnel. The campground as a couple camping areas. One area with mature trees has a couple rows of spots for RVs with medium spaces between the gravel pads. Nice place to hang out and have a campfire cookout. The second area is a more open area, parking in large circle with a grassy area with playground and area for football tossing, etc. Great ford in this State Park - walk or drive your truck or SUV across the water. You do not need to drive through the water to the campground. We spent about an hour wading in the water with our friends. Our dogs were so happy to be cooled by the water - swimming and wading. Many children were tubing and swimming. Downstream people were fishing on the sandbars. The hosts were very nice. We will go back soon. - AluminumCloud

This city park is very clean, well-maintained, and quiet. The gravel road loops around to all the gravel back-in sites. Sites are rather wide, as the trailers are stagger-parked on each side of the loop. Restrooms were clean with 2 shower stalls that were spotless. As the county seat of Madison County, the town's small businesses are alive and well - many within a longer walk around the town square. Right at the park is a fun corn maze, and a 1-mile trail to historic stone Clark Tower. Good Verizon phone and MiFi connections. - AluminumCloud
This park was one of my favorites. We got site 5 which had a nice shade tree, water, sewer, and 50 amp. Firewood at $2 for a large bundle. Verizon phone and hot spot worked great. Each site is a gravel pad for your RV with a large grassy area complete with picnic table. We camped during the week so we were able to get a nice spot. If coming on a weekend you would need to make a reservation due to many spots were already reserved for the weekend. Town park is right next to the campground and we walked around the park, visited the maze and drove up to Clark Tower. We were able to maneuver our dually truck up the one way road. Town is within walking distance. - sherp108
This was a nice small RV park to stay at while visiting the local balloon festival. We called a week ahead and reserved a spot. The space we had was large gravel, level, and clean with the grass in between the sites. Nice people and guests. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. No WiFi. No pool. Close to the tiny town and a great park next door for walking. Gorgeous surroundings on the outskirts of town with wonderful views. Self-check in at a board when you arrive. Cash or check only. There was a host on site that we talked to. Helpful. We would stay here again. - Lastrick

After vocal backlash on Tuesday against Facebook's policy on violent images, the company took down a video of a woman's beheading from the website.
The social networking site had enforced a temporary ban on graphic videos in May, but then quietly lifted the ban during the summer, arguing that as long as users were uploading the content in order to condemn violence rather than glorify it, it was fair game.
But Facebook did an about-face — sort of — on Tuesday around 6 p.m.
"We took down the video. We're trying to strengthen how we enforce the policies we already have on graphic videos," Facebook spokesman Matt Steinfeld told ABC News today. "It's not a reversal on our policy; we'll still allow graphic violence on the site if it's condemning. We're just going to look at a broader set of factors: where does the video come from, how is it being shared, does the user have warnings that it's graphic content, etc."
In its official statement, Facebook said that "as part of our effort to combat the glorification of violence on Facebook, we are strengthening the enforcement of our policies."
The company said they will review based on the holistic context and whether the user is sharing it responsibly by accompanying it with a warning.
"Based on these enhanced standards, we have re-examined recent reports of graphic content and have concluded that this content improperly and irresponsibly glorifies violence," the company stated. "For this reason, we have removed it."
The video purportedly shows a woman being beheaded in Mexico.
Earlier Tuesday, Facebook allowed the video to remain on the site since the company believed the content was shared for an educational purpose and not in a sadistic manner.
"It's a good thing they took it down. Those videos are absolutely horrific," said Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center. "I've seen them myself — they are psychologically damaging. Good for them for finally coming around to the obviously right decision."

Spice of Life in Cuban Cigars
Posted: Oct 16, 2009 12:03pm ET
Sometimes I get the idea that people think Cubans are not very savvy with their marketing and product development and that they spend most of their time just sitting around, reading the national newspaper, Gramma, and contemplating life. They think that the Cuban cigar industry is in some sort of time warp.This couldn't be farther from the truth. The Cuban cigar industry, especially with the help of their Spanish partner in Altadis S.A. in Madrid, is doing just fine, in my opinion.
I continue to be surprised with the latest releases from Habanos S.A., the global distribution and marketing organization for Cuban cigars in Havana. Take a look at the new release for duty-free shops in airports that is hitting the market in a few weeks. How cool is this? Twenty-five short Partagas Torpedos in a black ceramic jar. Where do I buy one? It's called the Partagas Serie P No. 1. Only 4,000 jars were produced. I don't know the price, but they shouldn't be stupidly priced.
Or how about the new tubes for the Trinidad Robusto T? I have written this before, but the Robusto T is one of my go-to cigars now. I love the rich and beautiful flavors, but they remain balanced and refined. I can't think of a better tube to put in my jacket pocket for a night out.
The packaging for the new Cohiba Gran Reserva is certainly nothing to turn your nose up at. I still believe it's a perfect smoke. But looking at the dark wood case, beautiful bands and sub-bands for the smoke, they say class.
Anyway, I am always looking forward to the latest release from Habanos. It keeps smokers on their toes and adds to the spice of life that we are all seeking.

James, I have read your material for years and am now enjoying the blog. I agree, their are two types of misinformed people in the states, some who still live in the 80's and think cuban cigars are it and everything else is just garbage that is farmed in inferior places and soils trying to imitate and some who are convinced that the cuban's have been so outdone that they have given up and produce junk (most of this crowd hasn't smoked good cubans or got stuck with fakes). I feel gray in such that the cubans still and always had a special thing going for them and that is the taste that only cuban's can grow. Their only down fall in my opinion is their quality control and consistency which has been surpassed by the new kids on the block. I feel that one country's tobacco is no better than the other and we are all just arguing which burger joint taste's best. They all have good and bad things to offer. People tend to bad mouth things they don't know or understand.On another note I smoked an esplendidos last night boxed from 8/08 and they tasted much better than the last 2 siglo VI boxes I've bought. Are the esplendidos just doing better right now?
