As has been proven many times, making a sequel to a beloved comedy is usually a fool's errand. While Will Ferrell and his writing partner and director, Adam McKay, aren't always hilarious (even the best comedians bomb sometimes), they're no fools.
Am I saying "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is a great comedy? No. But to paraphrase womanizing reporter Brian Fantana from the first film: 60 percent of the time, it's funny every time.
Doesn't make sense? Well, then musk up and pay attention.
It's 1980, seven years after the events of "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." Ron and Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) are now married, living in New York and co-anchoring the weekend evening news.
But their lives unexpectedly change when legendary newsman Mack Harken (Harrison Ford) summons them to his office. While they believe they're going to be asked to take over the evening news, only Veronica get the offer, while Ron is fired. Unwilling to take one for the team, Ron gives Veronica an ultimatum: the news, or him. She picks the news, and Ron abandons both Veronica and their 7-year-old son.

What will the great Ron Burgundy do? How about become an alcoholic emcee at SeaWorld, where he sexually harasses the dolphin trainers in front of large audiences filled with small children. But then he gets an offer to join New York-based GNN, the very first 24/7 cable news channel. Ron scoffs at the idea but once money comes into play, he realizes this is his opportunity to get both his career and his family back.
That means it's time to round up the best news team in the business. As soon as Ron re-unites with sportscaster Champ Kind (David Koechner), who now owns what he claims to be a fried chicken joint, it's apparent that the chemistry Ferrell and friends displayed in the first film is still there. They go on to recruit reporter Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Steve Carell's dim-witted weatherman, Brick Tamland.
We also have a number of new characters. There's Ron's new nemesis, Jack Lime (James Marsden), the pinnacle of male perfection — so perfect, in fact, that Ron and anybody else who meets him can't help but be awestruck in Lime's presence. Meagan Good impresses as Ron's African-American boss, Linda Jackson. Burgundy's predictably ham-handed, chauvinistic reaction to Linda's ethnicity, power, intelligence and sexuality makes for some of the movie's funniest moments.
'American Hustle,' 'The Hobbit': What To See This Weekend
In some places, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" just tries too hard. As fantastic as Kristen Wiig is as a performer, her character here — as Brick Tamland's love interest — isn't really necessary, and what really should've been a one-scene gag is unnecessarily dragged out. Besides, Brick is a one-man comedy machine who, I believe, could carry his own movie. Speaking of dragged out, Ron's ascension to stardom and the struggles he endures to get there are funny, but also get a bit long.
Thematically, Ferrell and McKay do a nice job of sending up the 24/7 news cycle and the underlying question of "what is news?" They also deliver a great message: don't let anything get between you and your family — and that includes Oscar winners, brilliant comedy minds, dead Civil War generals, and a minotaur. Confused? Let's just say the street battle scene from the first movie gets a serious upgrade here.
With "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," Ferrell and company do a nice job of reining in the desire to outdo the first movie by just letting the characters and jokes organically evolve — mostly. To quote Mr. Fantana again: 60 percent of the time, it works every time.
Three-and-a-half out of five stars.

How do you manage your pulll list? Does the price affect your decision? Would you go for a digital copy ahead of a paper copy because its cheaper or do you go for the paper one because you get something to hold? Will you buy for a creator or do buy because you like the character? Will you wait until the trade because its cheaper or do you buy single copies to support a series? Just curious by the way, as I realised I seem to be all over the place with my logic. I get avengers because I love Hickman, I get the digi copies of batman even tho that extra is a rip off, I get pepper copies (but that's cheaper than digi copies because of the exchange rate, but I'll buy a whole series of $0.99 issues in marvel sales) , I'm waiting for the trade of hawkeye even though I should support it but also waiting on all new xmen trade, buying red hood and thunderbolts for the character and premise of title etc Does anyone else have a method when buying titles?
Right now I buy 7 titles all costing $2.99. I'm gong to add Hawkeye ($2.99) to my list. Two of my titles (Deathstroke & Savage Hawkman) are getting canceled. I'm interested in Guardians of the Galaxy and Age of Ultron but with the $3.99 price for both I'm not sure if I want to add the to my list. I also buy back issues.
Since I have to use my parents money, I keep my monthly comic book expense under $25. I pick the titles I like and I don't buy digital comics. If I get some free digital books I'll take it and read it on someone's tablet when given the chance, but I greatly prefer print. For older series I want to catch up on, I buy trades/omnibuses on Amazon cheap.
@catsnlynne: Totally get where you're coming from, I think with Marvel though I think along the lines of the more expensive comics do also come with the digital copy. It's another reason why I think Marvel have a better digital strategy, giving away the digi-copies rather than charging the extra, it gets people into the ecosystem. Once they've downloaded the comics app and viewed the free copy, they may then buy other copies in the marvel mondays.

But the post by gvret was saying that the evidence can not support such claims, and can only support adaptation within a group. Also, realize that a "new" species can be defined on minute criteria. We were talking one beast to another, like a fish to a lizard, not instantly, but over time, things of that sort. If you missed that, read more carefully. If you didnt, and said what you did still, then for the sake of intelligent discussion, please don't preach your faith. Thanks.

Apple's re-designed iOS 7 has been winning rave reviews not just from fans but also from the developer community, writes Karthik Subramanian
For more than a year now, plenty of questions have been raised about Apple's mobile operating system iOS 7. The Windows phone had a better looking user interface, Android had more user-friendly features and BlackBerry's OS 10 was more modern.
When Apple combined the forces of two of its iconic leaders — Jony Ive and Craig Federighi handling the user-interface design and software engineering fronts, respectively — for its latest iteration of its mobile platform the iOS 7, a lot was expected. So when iOS 7 was finally made available to the public on September 18, there was a huge Twitter storm and a flurry of first-person accounts. There were the usual "wows" from Apple fans, 'yeah yeahs' from the Android faithfuls and silence from Windows Phone users.
As was promised earlier this year at the WWDC, Apple's developer conference where iOS beta was unveiled to developers, the latest version of iOS is not just an incremental upgrade but a complete revamp of the mobile OS by Apple. The striking aspect that almost all users seem to love is the minimalism and flatness of the design that reflects the hardware philosophy that has been Ive's forte for years.
But it is not just the feel-good factor but the way "things work," as explained in Apple's iOS 7 introductory video. Ive explains it: "In many ways, we have tried to create an interface that is unobtrusive and deferential. One where the design recedes, and in doing so, elevates your content."
Popular technology magazine Wired quotes a leading designer saying that iOS 7 could possibly lead to a new generation of Apps based on this new philosophy of pushing content to the fore.
Further, the iOS reboot comes at an interesting time. In 2007, when Apple introduced the iPhone and with it the iOS operating system, it was catching up with BlackBerry. But over the past seven years, Apple has changed its game. The reboot now comes at a time when Android has closed in and Blackberry has almost faded out.
Though Microsoft's Windows Phone interface looked good a year ago, the company has hardly breached Apple's fortress. The Windows phones seem to be doing quite well, but I have heard from friends who are still not able to completely understand the UI. The learning curve with a Windows phone is pretty steep and it is not just the users who are finding the going tough. Top Apps are unable to crack the OS. Under such circumstances, it now seems a two-horse race between iOS and Android, which for its part has teased users with its next OS — the Android Kitkat — almost immediately after the iOS 7 launch.
There are many interesting features of the iOS 7 that make it user-friendly: a new control centre that makes it easy for people to access most-used settings such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (this has been available on Android and jailbroken iPhones for a long time now and has been a most-wanted feature); a completely revamped Camera App that offers a new 'square mode' and live filters while shooting; a new Photos App that bunches up photos based on date and location; and a revamped Safari web browser that allows unlimited tabs that can be browsed on a cover-flow like set-up.
But there are, of course, some things that don't gel well too. A few of the icons rather tacky. The new font — the Helvetica Ultra Neue — is a lot thinner and lighter than what was seen before. This can be tough on people with vision problems or among senior users. There is a provision to improve things but that is buried in the options available in the settings under the "accessibility" options. But it requires tweaking. One can increase the size of the font, make it bold, and even increase the contrast to make things more legible.
Hidden Features of iOS 7
1. You can block calls from specific numbers — telemarketers or generally annoying persons. Once you get a call or message, just press 'i' (info) on the number and click 'block this caller' option.
2. Bothered by accidentally sweeping up the 'control center' while playing games? Just go to Control Center options, and disable "access within Apps".
3. Unable to see the fonts and content clearly. Go to 'accessibility' option under general settings. Increase font size, screen contrast, etc.
4. Share content such as photos with other compatible Apple gadgets via 'Airdrop'. No need for Bluetooth.
5. You can select the notifications you want to see on the lock screen. Pick and choose wisely the most important alerts such as Email or WhatsApp.

Our Price: $639.99
The Mavic Crossmax ST 26in Wheelset takes the best qualities in a cross-country wheel and adapts them for all-mountain riding. They're tough, responsive, and reliable --that's about all we could ever ask out of a wheelset. The Maxtal rims are part of why the Crossmax ST Wheels are tough. The proprietary Mavic alloy is 30% stiffer than typical 6106 alloys. They're made a bit wider than traditional mountain rims, 19mm on the inside, in order to allow fuller spread of the tire. This improves grip, adds stability to the sidewall for fast cornering, and reduces the chance of pinch flats if you're using tubes. Mavic's SUP process creates the welded rim joint and machined sidewalls. Another machining process, known as Inter Spoke Milling, relieves the rim of unnecessary material, which saves weight without compromising on stiffness or strength. One of the key features of the Crossmax wheels is that they're UST certified, and we've found nothing that offers tubeless performance as good as UST rims. Mavic achieves this capability by using their Fore drilling process to eliminate spoke holes in the rim bed. Only the bottom bridge of the rim is drilled for the spokes. The upper bridge has only the valve stem hole, and it's sealed with the included UST valve stems. The Crossmax ST Disc Wheels employ 24 straight-pull Zicral aluminum spokes in the front wheel and 20 in the rear wheel. The front wheel is laced in a standard 2-cross pattern. The rear is a bit more complicated; the Isopulse lacing (2-cross on the non-drive and radial on the drive-side) gives more balanced spoke tension and better durability. The white hubs and the axles inside are made of aluminum, and their micro-adjustable design ensures perfect preload and smooth operation of the QRM sealed cartridge bearings. The ITS-4 freehub body is new to the Crossmax ST wheels. It's more durable than the previous FTS freehub body, and offers less freeplay (7. 5) between engagement poi...

Apollo Aviation Group (Apollo Aviation) has raised approximately $595 million from a broad array of investors for its second aviation fund, Sciens Aviation Special Opportunities Investment Fund II (SASOF II).
"SASOF II will seek to acquire mid-life commercial aircraft for lease and/or immediate disassembly and resale of the systems, components and parts," says Apollo Aviation's chairman William Hoffman.
SASOF II is a follow-on fund to the $213 million Sciens Aviation Special Opportunities Investment Fund (SASOF), which was raised in 2010.
The fund has acquired 12 commercial aircraft and three engines including Boeing 737 Next Generation, Airbus A320 and A340 models. Nine of these aircraft are on lease and Apollo Aviation currently plans for the remainder to be either sold or disassembled with the parts then being sold.
The fund is managed by Apollo Aviation, a full service commercial aircraft asset manager jointly owned by its founders and principals, William Hoffman and Robert Korn, and by an affiliate of Sciens Capital Management.

Hey guys! My name is Jon and Im a proud owner of a 2013 Tacoma DC TRD Off road.
I am planning on lifting my Tacoma and had a question. I am wanting to run a 33 (285/65/18) with a 18" wheel and all of my research points me toward a 3" in front and 1-2" in back. The only thing I cant understand is what kind of lift will suit my needs. My truck will mostly be on road with very minor off roading if any. I do want the best ride possible though since I drive long distances at times.
Do I go with a spacer kit or a full coilover kit? It seems like theres tons of options out there. I want something dependable and that will last a long time. I read something about new upper control arms. Do I need them?
Any help will be much appreciated.

When figuring out serving sizes, how do you account for some lost slices due to the support system? Do you average one slice lost per dowel? This is my first time using a stacking system and I'm not sure how to figure out the actual serving sizes. The number of guests is 150-160, so I was going to offer a 14, 12, 10 = 172 guests, or 14, 12, 8 = 158.
Thanks for your help!

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The labor market may be even stronger than a quick look at the unemployment rate, and hourly paychecks, suggest.
The unemployment rate fell to 5 percent last month, the lowest in nearly four years, from a decade-long high of 6.3 percent only two years earlier. But despite that improvement, average hourly wages have barely kept pace with inflation -- up only 2.7 percent over the last 12 months, compared to a 2.5 percent rise in consumer prices over the same period.
While some other government measures of wages put growth much at healthier levels, closer to a 5 percent average, a survey of employers by Mercer Human Resources Consulting released this week found U.S. employers plan to grant average pay increases of 3.6 percent this year and again in 2006, only slightly more than the average 3.5 percent pay hikes last year.
Friday the Labor Department is set to release its July employment report, with economists surveyed by Briefing.com forecasting job growth of 180,000, up from 146,000 in June, with the unemployment rate steady at 5 percent.
Hourly wages are expected to again post a 0.2 percent monthly rise.
Still, if you look below the so-called headline numbers, the job market and pay gains are looking somewhat stronger, some economists said.
"We haven't seen that much improvement in employment of hourly workers because the job market for lower-skill workers still has a lot of slack in it," said Mark Vitner, senior economist for Wachovia Securities. "But if you look at skilled workers, it's a much different picture. We're starting to see some real shortages in some sectors."
Vitner noted that the unemployment rate for college graduates is down to 2.3 percent, not significantly worse than the 2.1 percent unemployment rate for college graduates in April 2000, when the overall rate hit a 40-year low.
By comparison, workers with only a high school education had a 4.7 percent unemployment rate in June, far worse than the 3.3 percent rate in April 2000, while high school dropouts have a 7.0 percent unemployment rate today.
Vitner said that Commerce Department reports that rely on Internal Revenue Service data rather than surveys of employers suggest that wage and benefits are up about 5 percent for the average employee from a year ago. He said the Labor Department figures that look at hourly wages are underestimating the strength of the labor market, and he expects them to be revised higher.
Lakshman Achuthan, managing director of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, said that even some less qualified workers are starting to find jobs in the current labor market.
The number of people unemployed for relatively short periods, less than 14 weeks, has shown slim declines over the last year in the Labor Department reports. But the number of those unemployed more than 15 weeks has fallen 20 percent from a year earlier.
"It's a signs that the job market has put some of the worst stuff behind it. Even some of the chronically unemployed people, who are not the most desirable employees, are starting to get jobs," he said.
But Achuthan noted that one reason for the slow recovery in employment -- the economy has been growing at 3 percent or better for the last nine quarters -- is that there are still sectors and classes of potential workers where the jobs are not coming back any time soon, unlike the cyclical pickups in hiring seen in past recoveries.
"It's a permanent, structural change, as there was a structural body blow to much of the manufacturing sector," he said.
But another economist suggested that even among higher-skilled workers, there's a lot of slack left in the labor market, which is helping to keep wages in check.
"We're far enough away (from full employment) that we don't need to give it a thought or worry for quite some time," said University of Maryland professor Peter Morici. "If the labor market starts to improve, we'll have a lot more people return to the labor force, so we need a lot stronger gains than we've been seeing to get near a 4 percent unemployment rate."
Morici noted that the proportion of adults in the labor force -- those working or looking for work -- is more than a percentage point lower than levels of the boom years of the late 1990s and 2000. That may seem like a small difference but it can mean an unemployment rate of 6 percent, versus the current 5 percent.
Some are older former workers who have lost jobs and have decided to retire early rather than take a lower-paying job, others are younger workers going back to school to try to improve their future prospects.
"Going back to school is a time-honored solution to unattractive employment alternatives," he said.

Harike Pattan sanctuary, Taran Taran (Punjab), Feb. 4 : Spread over 93 square miles, Harike wetland in Punjab's Taran Taran District is the second largest bird sanctuary of India. It's home to rare varieties of avifauna arriving here from different parts of Europe and northern Asia for stay during a major part of the year.
About 60 kilometres from Amritsar, it is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in north India.
Harike Pattan, as it is generally called, presents an inspirational example of nature conservation by authorities and non-government organisations.
A visit to Harike Pattan bird sanctuary showcases how the golden wealth of nature exists here in its divine glory, untainted and undisturbed. And, why there is need for it to remain like that.
A few non-government agencies have now come forward for the conservation of some precious ecologically important habitats and spread public awareness among locals here.
Harjinder Singh Sandhu, President, Nature Care Society, Harike Pattan, said: "Since last six to seven years, we have been organising regular functions in which the local people, district administration and nature lovers participate. We even invite children and organise painting exhibition to make locals aware of the need to protect nature."
During autumn, spring and winter, Harike Pattan turns a shelter for hundreds of species of birds. It is strategically situated for birds migrating to and from central Asia and Siberia.
Environmentalist Dr. A. S. Mahal, says: "It is one of the ancient confluences where the rivers Satluj and Beas converge. It's a quite sacred place. The confluence has been developed among the world's top 10 centauries. It is one of the largest wetlands of India and for centuries it has been home to migratory birds. The people of Punjab are familiar with these birds, as they are the best friends of children."
Of the total expanse of the wetland area of Harike Pattan, 26 square miles is open water.
The sanctuary came into existence with the construction of a barrage at the confluence of the river Beas and Satluj for water storage and providing irrigation and drinking water.
In 1978, the Punjab government declared the water-based body a wildlife sanctuary.
In many ways, the creation of this habitat was equally shared by man and nature. None of them interfered with each other. (ANI)

A room in the Daddy Long Legs Hotel, photo courtesy Andrew White
If you are an independent, creative traveller, then the Daddy Long Legs Hotel in Long Street is the hotel for you. Walking into the hotel is like walking into an interactive art exhibition.
Each room is a personal artwork, where an artist, poet, photographer, designer or musician has been given carte blanche with the design. The result is rooms that are eccentric, fresh and adventurous, and representative of Cape Town's modern cultural diversity.
While some hotels have flat-screen televisions in their rooms, Daddy Long Legs wants its guests to enjoy its creative spirit and artistic energy without distraction. Instead, guests can enjoy a cold one while watching their favourite sport on the big-screen TV in the pub.
Described on its website as a place where you can meet people while having fun, Daddy Long Legs provides funky and affordable accommodation, a relaxed bar, balcony and frequent entertainment.
Daddy Long Legs appeals to those curious creatures who want to experience Cape Town's authentic nightlife. At the same time, it's a great place for businessmen who are tired of the sterile hotel environment and want to experience something new.

November 16, 2009 Voting For RealNL Rookie of the YearLike many, I've kvetched about the annual awards. I've wondered how voters could pass up my guy, not look at the numbers, not do this, that, or the other things, but as a new member of the BBWAA, this year I had to put my money where my mouth is. Now that Chris Coghlan has been named Rookie of the Year, I can explain why my vote for him didn't count and/or helped hand him the Award. I spent a lot of time with making my picks for the Rookie of the Year Award. I'll be honest, I didn't like what I had to pick from. It was a down year, and the phrase that I kept coming back to is "I don't want to vote for the next Todd Hollandsworth." While I understand the RotY is a performance award based on who is the best player in 2009 and not some prospecting exercise, it still bothered me, and I knew that if it was close, that would likely be my deciding factor. If It was merely "who was the rookie who you think will go on to have the best career?" it would have been a toss-up between Tommy Hanson and Andrew McCutchen. Of course, I have a bias against rookie pitchers-they're injury prone, if you didn't know-but I like Hanson in a lot of ways. He was an engaging young man, humble yet confident, when I met him at the Bellagio last December. I like his motion and the way he pitches. I really like his results, as do the Braves, but being called up late kept both his raw and advanced numbers down. For me, I just can't say that 11 wins in 21 starts or nearly five wins of WARP3 is enough, not when there are better options. At the Pittsburgh ballpark event, I sat down with Shawn Hoffman, John Perrotto, and Eric Seidman, trying to convince myself that J.A. Happ was the right pick. He was well up in VORP, contributed to his team in every phase, and was helping a winning team. Still, he was, I thought, a back-of-the-rotation guy who maxed out, gaining much of the benefit of pitching in front of a solid offense and defense. This was likely his best year, though I'll wait to see how that turns out. The guy I kept wanting to vote for was Andrew McCutchen. I'd watched him over two seasons in Indianapolis, loved how he'd developed, and liked how he played. He was the best position player eligible, and I think McCutchen is going to be a solid player, if not a star, for a number of years. In the end, I voted by the numbers. J.A. Happ was the best rookie this season and I ended up giving him my vote for Rookie of the Year. My ballot went Happ, McCutchen, and Hanson. I'm happy with it. Later on in awards season, I'll touch on the other award I had a vote for, and explain my selections and Criticize the picks if you want, but in a year where the BBWAA opened up its voting to members they knew might think a little different, I have to feel like it's a step forward. Now about those Gold Gloves... 21 comments have been left for this article.

This is an easy and delicious one pot meal. The number of servings seems rather weird, but that is how many 2 cup servings we got. I see that the sodium value is pretty high. There is no way to note it when entering nutrition information, but you rinse the chickpeas which lowers the sodium considerably. Of course you can also reduce the amount of salt you add to lower it even further! If you have left over butternut squash that is already cooked it cuts down the recipe time to less than 30 minutes, just skip the first step and proceed with recipe. Enjoy!

I'm not even sure I could get in right now due to situations but would probably be some people hop on. Do we have a designated person that does this? I don't mind trying to orgnize if someone would let me know the proper way.

But we know that affection can blind us to the truth, and we're well aware that Kororinpa has flaws. The levels can be too short and, actually, the death-defying leaps to get certain gems aren't really death-defying. You have an unlimited number of lives, and whenever you respawn at the start, you no longer need to collect the gems you got before dying. So there's no incentive to complete the level in one go without falling off the edge. It's not so much death-defying as suicide-inducing. Oh Kororinpa, no! Just when we were falling for your ready handling and flexible boards. Plus, the multiplayer has no player interaction - so what if player two gets to use the Nunchuk? How the hell is that meant to make us feel better now?
And then - oh, as if Kororinpa hadn't already lied to us about how much it has to offer - getting to the end of the first 45 levels unlocks another 45 levels, but they're just the first levels reversed. Not played from back to front. Just mirrored. It was about at this point that our heart broke, and we couldn't do anything but weep softly.
Kororinpa - how could you do this to us? You didn't keep the promises you made. We left Monkey Ball for you, and going back to its minimally tilty boards would just be a dry and empty experience now. We're left alone with you, and all we can think about is how great it should have been. Balls.

One of several theme gardens which form part of the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Originally this part of the family estate was a tennis court, I believe, but as the Gardens developed, it was transformed into this replica of an Italian estate garden, with fountains, sculptures, shallow pools and myriads of flowers.
In bloom since 1904, the Gardens are a National Historic Site of Canada.

Please like and comment, you must of thought of something, a smily face would be a fine comment even, I just want to this happen. Lore: Two sides are better than one. Love and Hate. -Ethava Ethava has two sides, she learned that Love alone isn't strong enough, and hate is greater driven, knowing those, she took both. This would lead her to becoming the ultimate fighter and assassin. But the thing was whenever Ethava's face was covered, she'd show an aura of affection; however, if her hood was removed a split murderous persona would appear. So whenever she covered her face, she would always show love, but when angered, the hood on its own in some way would fall down, and her crazier hateful side is revealed. When Annie was born, Gregorl and Arnoline didn't mention she had an older sister because her older sister had abandoned them and were too ashamed to mention her. Ethava had left them to become an independent warrior and lived in the woods, where she grew fond of nature. She had very little use for magic. Years after Annie's birth, Ethava heard the news, of her parents with a new child. So as a fast quiet warrior she's become, she thought to visit her little sister unseen. To protect her from the evil minds that wanted to control her little sister's powers. She spoke with her, kind words, encouragement, but Annie never saw the dark-purple colored hair behind the hood, only her lips and the tip of her nose. Annie grew fond of her, because she taught her things, little tricks, and to goof around, to have fun, and protect those you care about. Annie never got her name, so she called her Sister, this brought warmth to Ethava's heart she kept and accepted that nickname happily. As more time came by, she saw her little sister grow, into a strong magic warrior. Unlike Ethava, using weapons and skills. She loved her little sister, very much, but she also hated her for her perfections that she doesn't have. So this Love-Hate spark grew inside of her. She had tried to join the league of legend twice. One as her Love side and another as her Hate side, as she does not know, both are herself yet. One day though, in a battle she watched her little sister fight a man of great power, in doing so she noticed her sister was getting tired, and just when she was weak enough for the man to finish her off and take her, rage brewed inside of her, as she dashed out, opened her cloak grabbed her rose, and quickly it grew and ripped into a scythe, and with the speed her hood fell off. Annie only saw the purple hair before falling onto the snow. Ethava fought the man off with anger, and sliced him up to pieces. Once she was done, she bent to her little sister, and placed her hood back on, placing her weapon away, all anger gone. She placed her hand on Annie's cheek, finally realizing, her true powers, and that both Hate and Love are herself. Once again she thought to try joining the league of legend. "I will follow you into the league of legend battlefield, and protect you and watch you from those savage beings, as your Forgotten Opposite Sister" Annie never remember her at all after that incident, once she's entered the league of legend, she forgot even the girl who visited her. I have yet to find a look for her, this pictures are just what MIGHT be her look that is in BETA and can change! A girl with a "Love" side when using her roses, when she throws the roses and skills she throws then childishly, like jumping around and twirling, as if dancing. Then she has her "Hate' side where she uses her scythe, shes more crazy. She does not use mana, it's more like..."temper" she runs on, because rage is insanety and that's not her. It's like rengar's bars but its for every attack she makes, and there is three(for her ulti) Her weapon would be a red(red and black or just red) that changes into a long scythe (as her R) then gets a new set of skills (like elise) with that scythe thats a bit ranged coz she swings it. Stat: Damage 46.1 (+3.5 / per level) Health 510 (+82 / per level) Mana (doesn't have mana) Move Speed 330 Armor 20 (+3.3 / per level) Spell Block 30 (+0 / per level) Health Regen 5(+0.7 / per level) Quotes with hood on: "That's not never nice Sir!" "Let's play a tag game, i'll start!" "hehe....." "Watch and learn" "You know, a pretty rose has thorns" Quote with hood off: "AHAHAHAHA IT'S SLICING TIMEEE" "You have a longs way to go to get me!" "Don't touch me!" "Get out of my face!" "HA...HA...ha..hahahhaahaha" I'm hoping she won't be a tank or adc, but something like Jayce is, or Xin zhoa, or even Zed, that aren't Tanks or Adc but just in between there, and are Ad. Hybrid champion Basic rose range 550. Rose mode(Her hood is on): Q- Rose Catch: She throws a rose and it clinch onto the champion dealing damage(45/55/65/75/85%(ad and ap) of her total damage, and slow down enemies by 40% and decays over 3 seconds. {9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 seconds cooldown} (range: 650)(skill shot) W-Thorns of Love: Throws a flower to an ally and whenever an enemy is close enough to that ally the thorns lash out and damages 10/15/20/25/30%(ad and ap)of her total damage the enemy and bleeds them.(9 / 9 / 9 / 9 / 9 sec cooldown) E-Tricky Brat: Click once for one cart wheel(max 2 times) increases movement speed (40/45/50/55/60% increased Movement Speed for 2 seconds) (16.5 seconds cooldown)(click skill)(range 150) ________________ Scythe mode(Her hood is off): Because her scythe is long, it's not exactly melee but a bit range (220 range)B] Q-Psyic: Throw's a rose and it passes the target, she then switches her place with the rose appearing behind the target damaging(30/40/50/60/70% ad and ap damage) (18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 sec second cooldown)(range 320) (click skill). W-Every Corner : Multi strikes/slashes damaging enemies around for 3 seconds.(20/25/30/35/40% ad and ap for every second) (10/9/8/7/6 sec cooldown)(click skill) E- Arcobat: Uses the long scythe to flip(range 350)(11 / 11 / 11 / 11 / 11 sec cooldown)(click skill) R: changes her rose to Scythe avaliable at level 1. Has to use three of her rose skills to change to a scythe, has to use three scythe skills to change back to rose(cooldown 3 seconds) (passive of with scythe, is more movement speed(45/50/55/60/65%) and attack speed(20/25/30/35/40%) Passive: "Blossoming Rose" (it is in beta tho it isnt set for sure) For each rose that the champion hits an enemy champion with, she gains a(n) Attack Speed buff of 5%/10%/15%/20% for 4 secs that stacks up to 4 times. I just wanted a epic girl though since im a girl then I thought, HEY, why dont I come up with it. If any of you guys have any ideas you want to add to this then go ahead and say what you think about it, what you think should change, if this is a good idea and would be a nice epic new champion that you would want to try out. Her outfit is yet decided, any ideas would help even thought I got most of it in my head I will update on what more information, with how much stronger each lvl she will be and cd things. Tell me what u think. More pictures than these will come, better ones, more detailed, for now this is what i got, can you tell which I rushed on? >< ya...sorry... Thank you.

A lot of typos, needs to be revised a bit. The skills seem a little similar to each other. Two escapes( E's) and it also makes her faster. Also, in scythe mode, she has two ways of getting to the target (Q and E). Her abilities seem to have a very long cool down except for her W in scythe mode and R. Rose mode W is missing a cool down. I feel like the percentage increases need to be nerfed a little. Rose mode's Q is a little weak for 30 damage. I think her scythe mode W could be spammed every second and it seems weak for 20 damage per second (I bet her auto attacks would do more damage per second than this skill). The Q seems weak too for 60 damage. It seems as if the use of the skills come from the effects rather than the damage. Is she ranged in rose mode and melee in scythe mode? You can try drawing a sketch of her and also try putting levels to the skills.
Very nice character idea. Its nice to see that the fans of the game have their own ideas for possible characters. I like that she's a pseudo-tank/ad champ. Kind of curious if she'll be a good, bad, or neutral champ, lol. As for everything I saw that the passive was empty and so was hoping to possibly give you an idea, if you don't mind. Passive: "Blossoming Rose" For each rose that the champion hits an enemy champion with, she gains a(n) Attack Speed/Armor (take your pick) buff of 5%/10%/15%/20% for 4 secs that stacks up to 4 times. That would give her the initial tankyness or ADCness that you alluded to be looking for in the character design.
This is nice, bro.
a big muffehn
i love the idea

A grade school teacher from Lake Forest, who allegedly sexually assaulted a girl two years ago, may have fled the country, police said.
An arrest warrant was issued Friday for Michael R. Vucic, 41, who is charged with five counts of predatory sexual assault and five counts of sexual assault, according to a statement from the Lake County Sheriff's office. His arrest warrant carries a $1 million bond.
On Monday, a girl under the age of 13 told her grandparents that Vucic had inappropriate sexual contact with her multiple times in 2012, police said.
Police think Vucic, of the 100 block of East Laurel Avenue in Lake Forest, may have fled to Germany.
Vucic is a teacher at Gavin School District in Ingleside. Officials there could not immediately be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
Police are asking other possible victims to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff's deputies at (847) 549-5200.

The Affordable Care Act allows employers to impose charges on workers who do things that compromise their health, and companies are getting ready to put that new authority to use. An Obesity Action Coalition study of companies that require employees to participate in wellness programs to receive full health benefits showed 67% of workers had to satisfy a weight-related health goal and 60% did not have coverage for fitness training, dietary counseling, obesity drugs or bariatric surgery.

I have a couple of dwarf japanese maples that I've been keeping indoors. Within a week, it looks like something laid a bunch of eggs on the bark and leaves. Then they hatched into a bunch of small bugs crawling on the tree :( Anyone know what it is, where it came from, and what the best way to treat it is? I ended up just taking the trees outside and water-blasting the critters off... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rather than eggs, perhaps aphids. If so, and depending upon the size and location of the tree, easily washed off or squished. Repeat as needed. |
Would it be possible to focus on ONE of these insects? I can't really tell for certain what they are. They certainly seem to be aphid-like. Aphid eggs are dark, by the way. Jean's suggestion, by the way, is the recommended means of control. For aphids to have been that busy on your maple, the adults would have to have been present prior to this infestation. Was the tree outside at some point? May I ask why you've been keeping these deciduous trees inside? |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 9:25
two further thoughts ... if rather new to you.. they came on the plant.. which would make the seller suspect ... indoor plants.. can not be taken outside and immediately left in sun ... they will burn ... they would need to be hardened off to full sun ... plus a tree in a black pot in sun.. is often.. not good.. the pot/media can get too hot ... ken |
First time posting... Wow what a great forum! Jean: Thanks! I'll try getting a better shot, but I think you are right about the aphids. Water blasting seems to have taken care of 90% of them. Will do that with manual inspection for the next couple of days. Rhizo: The tree was outside but it was getting sun burned so we moved it to a shadier sun room. Probably will leave it out for the winter and find a permanent spot for it outside. Ken: Thanks for the tips. I found a shady spot so hopefully it will be okay. You are also right about the pot being black. I'll look for a nice pot as well. |

Expatriate Mexicans in the United States can vote in July's Mexican presidential elections, but barely any are registering to do so.
To vote or not to vote?
The estimated 11 million Mexican immigrants in the United States play a major role in their homeland's economy, sending billions of dollars to family members in Mexico. This year, for the first time ever, they can exercise that clout in the political arena by voting in Mexico's July 2 presidential elections.
Will most support the front-runner, former Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador? Or perhaps a candidate from the conservative National Action Party, or the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which lost its 71-year hold on power in 2000?
None of the above, apparently.
With the Jan. 15 absentee-ballot application deadline approaching, only some 10,500 expatriates have sent in the necessary paperwork. That's about two-tenths of 1 percent of the 4.2 million eligible expat voters.
The Mexican government says expatriates appear to be uninterested. But political analysts and advocacy groups say even the most determined voters have been discouraged by the rules created by Mexico's government.
To obtain an absentee ballot, expatriates must send copies of their Mexican voter ID card, Mexican identification and proof of U.S. residency to Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute. Those without the card must travel to Mexico to apply for one, then return a few weeks later to pick it up.
Besides the hassle and cost of two trips, millions of Mexicans in the United States illegally are not willing to take the risks involved in applying for the card.
Expatriates also complain that it's hard to connect with candidates because election officials have prohibited campaigning in the United States to help ensure compliance with Mexico's political spending limits.

The candidates who give the AIPMT 2013 Preliminary exam will be shortlisted for the mains exam on the basis of a minimum qualifying score which will be called as AIPMT 2013 Cutoff. The Board will decide this score like every year, on the basis of the exam difficulty level, number of candidates, annual intake and last year AIPMT 2013 Cutoff.
The candidates who score marks above this cutoff will be eligible for the second level test and will be termed as AIPMT 2013 Qualified candidates.
The AIPMT 2013 Cutoff generally remains same every year with a variation of 5 to 10 marks depending upon the changes in any of the above mentioned judgment parameters. Until or unless there is a big change in the exam pattern or the syllabus of the exam, the AIPMT 2013 Cutoff remains same.
The candidates can calculate their marks with the help of the answer key and compare their score with the last year AIPMT 2013 Cutoff. This will give them an idea whether they will be qualifying the exam or not.
Similarly, after the conduction of AIPMT 2013 Mains exam, another AIPMT 2013 Cutoff score will be decided to shortlist the candidate for admission process.
Just as the cutoff score is there, the AIPMT 2013 Cutoff ranks are also decided by the Board. The candidates' rank corresponding to the cutoff score will be termed as the AIPMT 2013 Cutoff Rank.
As soon as the result id declares for the exams, the notifications for Cutoff marks and Cutoff ranks will be displayed.

field theory
field theory
In mathematics, the study of the structure of a set of objects (e.g., numbers) with two combining operations (e.g., addition and multiplication). Such a system, known as a field, must satisfy certain properties: associative law, commutative law, distributive law, an additive identity (zero), a muliplicative identity (one), additive inverses (see inverse function), and multiplicative inverses for nonzero elements. The sets of rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers are fields under ordinary addition and multiplication. The investigation of polynomial equations and their solutions led to the development of field theory.
