Soothing After Sex Cream
Reviewed: 29 October 2014 by LibraLover
Each time I add a Fifty Shades of Grey item to my collection I start to love the packaging more and more. I'm even starting to enjoy the quotes on the side (and I didn't enjoy the books). This cream comes in a cute little box with the tub inside along with a little leaflet. The tub is a nice size, and made from nice sturdy plastic.
The cream smells lovely. Although it is clearly the same scent as the FSOG Sensual Bath Oil that I have, this doesn't smell as manly. After the signature scent, there is almost a sweet after-smell to it. It's intoxicating! If you don't have any of the other FSOG items, the signature scent is musky and masculine.
The cream is lovely, thick, and oily (in the good way). It's full of lovely ingredients that nourish your skin. I had a hard time convincing my boyfriend to give me a bum massage with this after sex as he just wanted to sleep, but he was more than happy to use it during and the morning after, although my bum wasn't actually still sore then...
It really does soothe the skin, I could feel it straight away and it has a sort of cooling effect. And my skin felt particularly soft afterwards! My boyfriend also massaged it into my calves as the muscles were sore, and it worked quite nicely. The scent is calming and sensuous, the massage helped my muscles, and the cream left my legs super soft! We'll definitely be using this as a more general "after sex cream", rather than just spanking!
It also didn't irritate my sensitive skin anywhere that we used it.
- Pros
- The smell, packaging, and ingredients, lovely and soothing to use, left my skin very soft.
- Cons
- I can't afford it all the time, but I do think it's worth the price.
- Bottom line
- Lovely, soft and soothing.

So soothing
Reviewed: 09 September 2014 by angeldelight, a Straight Married Female
I have a few of the Fifty shades of Grey products (I'm impressed with them) and this is no exception.
The FSOG Spanking Cream comes in a black box with the Fifty Shades logo - very smart packaging.
The cream when opened had a nice smell - ight and subtle, I thought - and felt nice when I tried some on my hand.
When my OH used this on me I was very pleased with the cooling and soothing of this cream. It is absorbed nicely on your skin and is not sticky and left me as soft as a baby. This is a great cream and we will be using this again.
- Pros
- Cooling, soothing and nice smell.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Pretty packaging and a very soothing spanking cream.

Soothing touch after a spanking
Reviewed: 10 August 2014 by BustyKate
This cream comes in a nice box, which looks quite sophisticated and elegant.
This product is ideal for people who are new to spanking, or for the more experienced. It helped to reduce any nervousness first time as I was looking forward to having this lovely cream applied.
It has a lovely scent, which is a sexy, but calming aroma. This, when applied after a good spanking, leaves a soft smooth silky feel to the skin just as it says.
If you are a FSOG fan then this is essential.
- Pros
- Gorgeous smell.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Lovely, soothing, scented cream.

Roberto Mancini: Man City's missed signings cost title chance
Barclays Premier League
- Venue: Old Trafford
- Date: Monday, 8 April
- Kick-off: 20:00 BST
Coverage: Full coverage on BBC Radio 5 live & live text commentary on BBC Sport website
Roberto Mancini says Manchester City would still be challenging for the Premier League and Champions League titles had he been able to sign his principal targets last summer.
"We would probably be at the top... probably also in a Champions League quarter-final," the City manager said.
"We had a chance to get three or four players that would have improved our team but now it is finished with."

And he added rivals Manchester United "continued to improve their team".
All five top targets identified by Mancini last summer opted against joining City.
Those at the top of the Italian's list were understood to include Netherlands striker Robin van Persie, who instead joined Premier League leaders United from Arsenal, and Belgium's Eden Hazard, who signed for Chelsea from French side Lille.
Additionally, Athletic Bilbao's Javi Martinez chose Bayern Munich, Daniele De Rossi stayed in Italy with Roma and City refused to meet Liverpool's £27m valuation of Danish centre-half Daniel Agger.
However, the Italian still spent £52m last summer on players including Javi Garcia, Matija Nastasic and Jack Rodwell. That was a greater total than Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson, whose chief purchase was the £24m capture of Van Persie.
"We had the chance to get important players, players that this year could have been the difference in this team," continued Mancini. "But it is useless to talk about this now."
City go into Monday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford trailing rivals United by 15 points. With just eight games remaining, Mancini has already conceded the title and the Italian believes that, despite City securing their first title in 44 years last May, United's aura remains unchallenged.
"No one player plays very well against United because they play with fear," he said.
"Because United have an importance as a team and a club, every team that plays against United plays very softly because they think 'this game is difficult, we cannot beat them'.
"I don't think that other teams don't play 100% but their mentality is poor in that game because they don't think they can do anything. But that is not true if you go there and play with a good mentality. In football, you can beat every team."
Mancini, in his third full season at City, concedes that United's success over an extended period means it will be a long time before the blue half of Manchester can challenge the prestige and history enjoyed by their rivals.
"We are young as a team," he said.
"We don't have the same importance as United in this moment. Maybe in 10 years we will be the same. This is history, and the history is very important.

"We need to improve as a team and as a club but for this we need more years, we can't do this in two years. I think in 10 years, if we improve, if we win the league every year, it will be the same for us.
"You can't win every year. Last year United didn't win anything, apart from the Charity Shield - but they continued to improve their team."
Monday's meeting will be the first time City have been back to Old Trafford since last season's 6-1 victory, a result that prompted many to suggest the balance of power in Manchester had shifted for good.
But although Mancini is proud of that result, he is not predicting a repeat on Monday - and accepts that United will be worthy champions.
"Six-one is in history," he said. "We can talk about this for another 200 years, but it is impossible to do this another time.
"We know we can beat them [on the day] because they are not better than us. We need to go there thinking we are like them, that we are a strong team like them.
"But they deserve to win this title."

9th April 2013 - 22:26How do you work out that city spent £52 million during last summer ?
The signings were Jack Rodwell £12 million Garcia £16m Matija Nastasi £10m Sinclair £6.2m Macon and wright free. Which is £44.2 where did £52m come from ?
Compared with kagawa £16m Powell £6m and RVP £24m which is £46
Do you use the same source as the person who questioned why Mancini spent £30m on Lescot ? -

8th April 2013 - 21:40Stoke are pretty awful at the moment granted, but West Ham never going to be the easiest game, and Spurs are running into something resembling good form.
I think Utd will have to work very hard not to drop points in those fixtures, whereas City will now have the boost you get from shoving a loss down your rivals throats. Good luck to em too!
**Trophy rubbing :) LOL surely they wouldn't -

8th April 2013 - 21:37I'd have 2 disagree *a little with Ferguson there - you see, he'd have a far stronger point about his team playing well if ManU actually had scored at least 1 of the 3 goals!
They're waiting for their own blog I presume to begin some tumultuous trophy rubbing. And some extras maybe, who knows, it's been 52 long weeks after that Sunny day in Sunderland after all ,] -

8th April 2013 - 21:34Utd have Stoke and West Ham City have Wigan and Spurs Away. Would rather have uniteds next 2 fixtures especially when Chelski put u down on Sunday !! Think it will be wrapped by the end of the month and at the very latest when Chelski come to town in the 1st week of May. man city lost it when they let de jong one citys best players last season. Will say tho Rooney was awful yet again. disappointed

Hi all, I am so excited I have a community garden plot for the summer!!! I just found this out this week. I live in MN and I am a first time gardener. So I am planning on keeping things really simple. Tomatoes, peppers, bush beans, and carrots. Maybe some flowers or herbs. I have all of those seeds available right now and I plan on starting them this weekend. I am thinking to the near future and I am concerned about when it comes to hardening off. I live in an apartment, I don't have a car, I don't have access to a balcony/patio area in my apt complex or in the neighborhood. I live in a very high traffic area so I can't really sneak the plants out. My windows open out and have no screens. Can't leave them open or I will have birds and squirrels in my apartment. Ask me how I know! LOL Anyway, I was thinking that I could maybe turn a fan on during the day and turn it off at night. I am also collecting milk cartons from the coffee shop in my building and I plan on using them for cloches to keep the plants warm at night once the day actually comes that I can plant them in the ground. Well I was looking for some other suggestions and I would totally appreciate any experiences you would be willing to share! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have fluorescent lights to grow the seedling under while they are indoors? Tomatoes, Peppers, and Beans are all warm weather lovers, so in MN you won't be able to plant them in the ground until towards the end of May, even with cloches. I don't put mine out until the first of June, and sometimes that is to early. Its way to early to start the bean seeds, they won't be happy in pots for more then 3 weeks or so. Most people direct seed them. Carrots are always direct seeded, as transplanting will stunt them. Without fluorescent lights directly over (2") those plants will be very weak and spindly after two months of being indoors. For hardening off, the direct sun factor is as/ or more important than the wind. The standard way to harden off plants is to bring them in and out, and in and out, lengthing the time they spend outside every day or so, obviously this will be a problem for you. Can you build a protective environment with screen to diffuse the light, and plastic to put over if it get cold, and keep them outside at your garden? I harden mine off by putting them on my screened in porch which only gets a few hours of direct sun, and is protected from the wind. I just put them out there and leave them - unless it is going to get down under 40 degrees - then I bring them in. I plant them in there beds on a cloudy day, or shade them for a day or two when they go into full sun. |

KOLKATA: Services in the Sealdah-Bongaon section were disrupted after two wheels of a local train derailed at the Bongaon station on Saturday. According to an Eastern Railway spokesperson, nobody was injured in the accident. Commuters, however, claimed that two persons received minor injuries after they jumped off the affected coach when it lurched and the wheels started dragging.
"The train left Sealdah at 5.55am. When it reached platform number 2 of Bongaon station, two wheels of the third coach from the rear jumped the rails. There were no injuries. There was also no cause for panic as the train had already reached the station. Services were delayed as the platform remained blocked till 10.30am," an ER spokesperson said. tnn
Commuters on the affected train said that they felt a jerk and heard a noise before the coach lurched to one side. There was some panic as the train didn't stop immediately and the coach was dragged forward. This was when two commuters tried to jump out of the train and hurt themselves.

Linelle, my personal theory is that it started as a money grab. One more thing to charge you for. When you look at the price of toilets, you think, oh, it's not that high...but then you get to ADD the price of the seat! Just like when carpet went from being sold by the square yard to the square foot... yikes, if we sat down and figured out how much we're paying per square yard! I did find toilet packages that included the seat for two of my BR's. There was a super deal at HD for a pretty nice toilet, and even though we weren't looking the day we were there, we couldn't pass it up! Only problem is, it's the only one of my three toilets that doesn't have a soft close seat, and I usually forget and it goes BANG! |
raehelen, geez, this is so annoying. I never dreamed toilets didn't include seats until I started seeing a lot of photos online without seats. As if the ceramic part isn't expensive enough. Everybody tells me I need a Toto. And yet, my 15-year-old no-name toilet flushes without complaint or streaking or clogging with a mere 1.6 gpf. I am so tempted to just keep that old toilet and replace everything else. Some day I might get a new one, when I've paid everything else off. |
I'd keep the toilet if it works, Hey I think a 1.6 flush is very good. Until a year ago we had ancient toilets that used very large volumes of water. They would clog every now and then. |
enduring, it's encouraging to hear you say keep it. I suppose I could even treat myself to a new seat. They do sell "universal" seats, don't they? |
Yes, either elongated or round. Since yours is a 1.6 gal it is rather new in the scheme of things. I was in an old bathroom today and to toilet bowl was REALLY round, and the seat matched. But I think all the toilet seats you'd find at the big box stores would work, keeping in mind round or elongated bowl. I like the soft close feature. |

We've been in our house almost 2 years and have started looking at toilets at HD. The main floor bathroom has the weirdest toilet I've ever encountered. By that, I mean my butt (which isn't tiny but not that huge!) doesn't fit. It almost seems like a kids toilet or a minature toilet. Anyways, when we were looking, I'm pretty sure all the toilets they had came with the toilet seat. All the samples they had up on the wall had toilet seats - now you've got me wondering and I'll go back and check that out. I hope it's not an extra (which I'm seeing more and more of these days). |
I'll keep my eyes open for round toilet seats, and a chrome handle while I'm at it. The white plastic is a dead give-away. Since the old toilet will have to come out anyway, I can give it a good clean. White porcelain is white porcelain. |

Actually, we purposefully chose toilets that didn't come with a seat, for the reason raehelen said. We would be buying an easier to clean, soft-close lid seat for use anyway. Why pay even a discounted amount more for the seat, when it would never be used? Then I have to take it to a donation place. Frankly, I'd rather not have to bother. |

Some of the box sets everything included at HD and Lowes have the cheapest thinnest toilet seats. A friend told me that yes you think you are getting a good deal until you have to buy a new toilet seat that is more comfortable. |

If you like your toilet, keep it! A 1.6 gpf model is very good, if you're worried about the environmental thing. If it's pretty standard looking, you should be able to find a replacement seat at any hardware store or home depot/menard's/lowe's. The only improvements I've seen that you might want to look for are the soft close feature and 'easy clean' where you can remove the seat with a few clicks without have to get underneath to unscrew it. Replacement trip levers are also available in many styles and finishes. |

One first American Standard we purchased did not come with a seat. The second one came with a self closing seat. It works wonderful in the main bathroom. It makes the seat and cover go down without a slam. |

1.6 gal. is very good - if it works well, I think that I'd keep it. As for the toilet seat thing - another one who LOVES having the soft close on the seat. It sounds funny, but I hate having the "toilet seat noise" as it is shut...we kept an old toilet that has been in the house for a while and just got a new soft close seat for it. The other new toilet we got was one of the dual-flush models and it came with a soft close seat. |
My current toilet seat has plastic covers over the bolts that hold it down. Do I pop them off? Will the new seat come with new bolt covers? My 1.6 gpf is a veritable deep throat. (Remember a few years ago when they found out who Deep Throat was? He lived a few blocks away from me.) |
Yes just use a flat head screwdriver to pop the covers open then get a pliers and screwdriver to undo the bolts. Easy. When you put the new one on, be sure to not tighten too tight, just tight enough so the seat doesn't move, but no more. You don't want to crack the toilet. I have never seen that happen so good bet it wont for you either. Was deep throat living in the neighborhood while you lived there? You just never know, do ya. |
Deep Throat was living a quiet life with his daughter and her family. Nobody knew. He was in frail health when the news came out and he died a year or so later. I guess it was time to set the record straight. He lived in a different neighborhood, across one of our main roads, but it was just a few blocks as the crow flies. |
We bought two new toilets last year. One was an American Standard - the one that can flush golf balls - we have not tried that feature yet :-). It came with a plastic slow close seat which we decided to use. The other was a Toto that came sans seat. We got a Bemis slow close, easy remove seat for it. It came with all the needed hardware. You just turn two knobs on top of the hinges to remove it, and it does make it easier to clean. |
Linelle, if the toilet matches/works with your remodel then I would keep it. We are doing our master bath and going with high end stuff, but I would have been very happy to keep the 12 year old 1.6 toilet and bidet, but unfortunately they are that beige color and the new design will look better with white. |
I just looked at toilet seats at Home Depot. I want round, slow-close. The HD guy said the plastic ones are "better" (easier to keep clean), but I all the tops showed scratches and I think the plastic feel is icky. Am I crazy to want enameled wood? The most expensive one was $35, which makes me think it's better than the $6-12 ones. True? All this talk of Toto (and their prices) has put me in a mind to keep my old 1.6 toilet. But HD has Kohler Highline Classic (taller, elongated) on sale for $178. It has a dual-flush (1.6/1.1). Reviews are pretty good. Can it be that much worse than a Toto? |
Linelle, Maybe I can help you put things in perspective: I have three toilets: Both these toilets will streak, and need to have some sort of physical intervention to get bowl clean. 3) My new Toto Vespin 11. I love this toilet, it is skirted, so cleaning will be easier, plus I like the clean lines. It is not dual flush (I wouldn't buy another Dual flush again), I bought a Bio Bidet Washlet seat (which is soft-close), so I was glad I didn't have to pay for the Toto seat. My toilet cost $400 CAD, which is a good price here (and less than what the washlet cost me!) This stays so much cleaner than the other two, but would I pay twice as much or more to have this in my other two BR's? I don't think so. We will be renoing BR #2 next, I intend to keep the AS toilet and just move it. As long as everything is working fine, I would just keep your present toilet. |
raehelen, thanks for your take on toilets. I guess my Universal Rundle (whoever heard of that?) will live to flush another day (or several years). Washlet seat? Holy crap. I had no idea. When things get that bad, I just stick my butt under the tub spout and start over. |

linelle: "Washlet seat? Holy crap. I had no idea. When things get that bad, I just stick my butt under the tub spout and start over." "Washlet" is a registered trademark of Toto; no other manufacturer can advertise its seat as a Washlet without risking a suit for trademark infringement. However, like "Scotch" tape and "Band-Aid" bandages and "Xerox" copiers and "Coke" cola beverages, a lot of people use "Washlet" as if it were a generic descriptor. Toto Washlet advanced toilet seats are very good, but are not the best of breed; that medal belongs to Inax advanced toilet seats. Inax -- which is the #2 Japanese plumbing fixture company in size but in Japan has a more prestigious image than Toto -- invented the category, and has remained the technological leader in that category for 30 years. Lixil, the name of the corporate group of which Inax is a part. purchased American Standard last year, and you will see a lot more of Inax in the United States going forward, I am sure. (My guess -- only a guess: American Standard will play the Toyota role in the United States, while the Inax brand will play the Lexus role.) But as to the story of advanced toilet seats as a purchase that you W-I-L-L make in the future, you should know that, in Japan, more than 90 percent of households already have them, and the Japanese now look down on our primitive American toilet hygiene in the way that we North Americans view the use of pit privies in third-world countries. Anybody who has used an advanced toilet seat for a period of more than a week or so is not going to go back to a primitive toilet seat. Never ever, ever. As to advanced toilet seats, Americans are in the stage that we were in in the early 1980s: "Why would I want a computer in my house?" |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rose George tells it like it is
We haven't done our remodel but I convinced DH that not going with a "washlet" style was akin to getting an old tube TV. Thanks to GW for helping me with the decision. Leaning toward Inax seat with Toto toilet. |
Herring_maven, I have a post on the Bathroom forum addressed to you :) It is about a Toto Maris 2 piece toilet with a planned Inax advanced toilet seat installation. |

What's with this driver issue that seems like it's only with the 400s? Has this happened to the 4s, 500, 5LEs and 6s as well. I have all except the 400s they're next. The 4s are on the way. The other had 0 problems. Is this just with the 400s? What gives?
Is the burn in process Justing is doing working thus far?
I chalk it up to it being their first headphone to be mass produced rather than being pretty much completely hand made like their other ortho's.

The Kind tag[edit]
Kinds are a special form of the Trainz containers data type and each is defined by an explicit unique keyword denoting one of a fundamental set of enumerated basic data classes in the self-defining self-contained Trainz Asset definitions hierarchy. All the elements which define an asset are contained in a single folder accessible when the asset is built or opened for editing. The config.txt file within has the job of defining the KIND data elements and aggregating those and other mandatory and optional data definitions.
KINDs are arguably only slightly less important than the TrainzBaseSpec and config.txt files as the most important data elements for users to get a handle on for either fixing or creating assets. Fortunately, each type of Trainz asset has a unique KIND, so these can be mastered either at need, or systematically one by one.
In point of fact, all three elements are tightly interlinked as they work together within the asset root folder which must contain the config, which in turn, 'must' contain a kind tag and supporting definitions.
To a lesser extent the KIND and category-class tag, work together to tell the Content Manager software what other keywords are necessary, optional, or illegal within the asset's config.txt file, and the latter has the defined purpose of adding that category-class member (the asset being defined) to a mix of various sorting criteria useful to users in the CM's sorting and selections operations.
Trainz Kinds are upper level containers defining minimal data structures for characterizing a asset type under a single identifying kuid.
Hierarchy and level[edit]
KINDs in the Trainz simulators define the attribute that together with category-class set up required fields of information to make the model of an asset render properly. In a very real sense, the KIND data structure (grouping related data of disparate type relevant to the needs of model rendering and run-time simulation) is a first level container in Trainz (albeit with a special name, "KIND"), and will almost always require other container level data groups accompany it in the ini files. These are enumerated supporting containers and tags which the combination of the enumerated types of the kind tag and category-class use to determine which other data elements must be defined for such an asset, which may be considered a sub-kind, for all like assets require the same data elements be defined as well.
Now all container and container-like structures occupy the config.txt file, but the distinction is simply that 'container defined types' usually have scope (applicability) in several different KIND defined assets and represent a shared attribute (a feature, e.g. bogeys), whereas each KIND is unique to that class of asset. KIND Engines and KIND Traincar both have bogeys (wheels on trucks) so both have a bogeys container in their ini file.
This list below is comprehensive as of page composition, and updated regularly. See Trainz-Wiki KIND TrainzBaseSpec for possible updates. (Many links there below connect to the N3V TrainzOnline Wiki and there is a slight color difference between those and Wikibook sections links. Those that are still redlinks in late August 2014 have not been formally defined in the N3V Wiki, though the class has likely been promulgated in the one of the content creator's forums.
Kinds of KINDs[edit]
All the below Child Classes are considered to have the TrainzBaseSpec as their Parent Class of data.[note 1]
Important Everyday KINDs[edit]
The answer is dependent upon what sort of assets and asset sub-types you are dealing with at the moment. Locomotives and boxcars are both Kind "traincars" in the human thought process, but are different KIND declarations in Trainz configs and a Diesel powered locomotive and a Steam Locomotive each need differing data parameters defined to model the asset; this differentiation within configs comes from the definition of the kind and the mandatory category-class tags solely have scope inside CM and surveyor selection and sort filters.

- The crit bonus from Skinning is being reduced to compensate for all the gold those skinners are making at a whopping 5/g stack. Furthermore, the drop rate on Arctic Furs has been drastically decreased. All skinners will now also receive a debuff called "I should have been a miner" which reduces their stamina by 2%."
So true. I'll add one.
- Leather workers will now receive the recipes for their epic leg enchants from the trainer for 1 gold a piece when they reach 380 skill. We have also removed the frozen orb as a required material for all high-end epic leather working recipes and are replacing it with a Small prismatic shard. We feel that the leather working profession was too lucrative compared to jewelcrafting and mining and that the market should be flooded with people constantly underselling each other until it's 5 gold for a Giantmaim Bracer.

A downtown Scottsdale gallery is fighting to keep a collection of Renoir statue duplicates that a federal judge ruled to be in violation of copyright laws.
A lawyer for the Société Civile Succession, a French trust that owns the copyright, said Friday he will again ask the court to order Rima Fine Art Gallery to relinquish its collection of Renoir copies.
U.S. District Court Judge Earl Carroll ruled last month that Rima managers and their business partner — Jean-Emmanuel Renoir, the greatgrandson of the artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir — violated copyright laws by duplicating and selling sculptures by the famous impressionist and another artist, Richard Guino.
The Société filed the lawsuit in 2003.
Rima still has up to 16 of the sculptures, said Richard Morris, the Société's attorney.
Rima representatives Tracy Penwell and Dror Darel filed an opposition to Morris' original motion. Morris said he will explain to the judge on Wednesday why he believes Penwell and Darel are wrong.
Penwell and Darel declined comment for this article.

The Thousand Islands or locally known as the Kepulauan Seribu is a small archipelago north of the Jakarta Bay. The area has always been pressurized by debris that came out of Jakarta and also illegal fish bombing in the past. Some of the area has been declared as National Marine Park, however its vicinity to the big town of Jakarta could not avoid it from massive amount of debris.
Dive Against Debris - Underwater Clean-Up, South of France, Golfe Juan.
We will be running a Dive Against Debris with a maximum number of places of ten on the morning of Saturday 19th May. Please confirm your participation as soon as possible. Social and apero afterwards next to the boat if the weather is good. A great sense of actually doing something concrete and positive for the local underwater environment.
Last Sunday, to kick off Debris Month of Action, PADI and Project AWARE staff from the Bristol office in the UK organized a Dive Against Debris event in collaboration with West Country Divers in Swanage.
Join us Oct. 1, 2011 for our 20th Annual Underwater and beach cleanup sponsored by Divers Two. We are continuing our tradition of keeping our underwater environment clean for everyone to enjoy. We need both surface and underwater help!
The Scuba Sports Club will be at Davenport Park in New Rochelle, New York performing a beach cleanup on September 17, 2011, International Beach Cleanup Day. The beach cleanup is sponsored by Project Aware's "Dive Against Debris" ocean conservation project.

I think they ought to do this with Ranked games, only don't select Champions, just roles. and then have champion pick and ban like normal.
Gotta be honest, I've been a little frustrated with teambuilder. Perhaps it's due to the mmr reset but the most toxic games I've played in months have been during the last few days when I was trying it out. I'm not sure why that is but I went into it hoping to avoid the kind of bickering and insulting I see in normal queue :<
Senior Member
This was probably the best experience I've had playing League of Legends... Overall a wonderful idea that will significantly decrease people fighting over rolls (and playing badly because they didn't get what they wanted) The queues to get put into a team were usually insanely short, the shortest ones being under 5 seconds.(one was 2 seconds) and the longest one was about 5 minutes (which was insanely longer than any others) Again, I enjoyed this feature TREMENDOUSLY; most of the games had a much brighter feel to them as in everyone playing got to pick exactly what champion and role they wanted. None of this "I wanted Mid, but someone else called it, so now im reluctantly playing support" stuff happened that can ruin an entire teams motivation. I wish to thank everyone involved in the contribution and formation of this great idea and sincerely hope to see it out in regular soon. Thank you!
I hosted an all mid game for my last Team Builder... it was good for a laugh, but we lost...
I love team builder! I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW AMAZING THIS FEATURE IS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE GAME! And I meant every single CAP LOCK letter In Addition the runes and masteries drop down scroll and team building area is much more pleasing to the eye then blind pick solo que I strongly favor this becoming a permanent feature of the game In my opinion this and a replay feature would complete the League and attract many new member toe the community
I mainly support and adc, so I always got a wait time of 5 seconds. I wouldn't really say that Team builder affects me that much, but I finally get a choice to play other lanes when I want to instead of going bot lane 24/7. Plus. I don't have to watch people rage over getting preferred roles like in the normals and that I end up having an inexperienced support or adc. Thank you for creating Team Builder!
I really like the idea. but i think it needs to be done better. for instance, it takes way to long to find support and jg, because ideally most people would rather play another position. This could be fixed by having people put roles in order, 1-5 and then try to give 1-2 pref to people. you could make the search criteria be fastest game (pref order considered, but not most important)and role preference(only match games that have 1-3 pref available). then games would match a lot faster, and with the option to find a new team, if you get number 5 you can just leave the match without being punished. i find that through team builder, my team is more solid, which is usually the problem when you get a loss. All in all i say its good. but riot needs to incorporate more creativity and ergonomics to this new feature to make it run smoother. this is my major complaint to riot in general. there needs to be more practical thinking in order to streamline accessibility. Edit: i want credit if you implement this :3 XD
LIGHTS OUT! In this style, its blind pick like usual, but there is 1 catch, you DONT know who your facing (in load up screens/gameplay) until you SEE them on the minimap...just a thought. This would to lead to many surprise peoples, and make the game more interesting bc you dont know who your fighting till you see them
I think the idea of it is really great, just one time i was in queue for about 3-5mins waiting for a jungle/tank which was kinda annoying but very worthwhile. i like the fact that every game i am able to play a role that i like or practicing at the time, i have 1 idea i would like to suggest Have everyone select they roles, not the champions but then go into a ban selection screen (honestly only this if its planned on being ranked)

This Charming Dog That Rides Horses Is More Than Just A One-Trick Pony
From: Huffington Post
By: Ryan Grenoble
When Steve Jefferys says his dog can do anything, he's not horsing around.
His dog, a border collie named Hekan — as in, hekan do it — regularly helps the Australian with his work at Equestrian Excellence in New South Wales. Including riding horses.
"Well it really just happened," Jefferys said in an interview with Australia's "Today" show, explaining how Hekan acquired his impressive skill-set. "I had the dog, I needed things done, and he was the only one that I had to do it."
But hold on to your horses, because Hekan is no one-trick pony. In addition to riding the horses, the 1-year-old pup fetches various items for Jefferys, walks the horses on a lead and can hold them in place while being saddled.
"He's basically my secretary," Jefferys told the Herald Sun. "He does that many things for me."

Extra departments were called in because of the extreme conditions. Temperatures were in the mid-20s Sunday night.
One person home at the home of the fire made it out safely.

Helicopter crash kills dozens in Afghanistan: implications for US war effort?
Helicopter crashes have traditionally generated the largest single casualty incidents during the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Chinook helicopters can carry large numbers of passengers and have contributed to the two previous most deadly days in Afghanistan for US forces on June 28, 2005 and April 6, 2005.
How was it shot down?
If insurgents are behind the crash, how they managed to shoot down the helicopter will likely prove a point of serious concern.
Large-caliber machine guns capable of serving as anti-aircraft weapons are widely available in Afghanistan. But so far insurgents have used these to little effect against helicopters. If militants managed to target the helicopter using a surface-to-air missile, however, it will spark major concerns.
"This technology and how the Taliban have accessed it raise the question from where and from what sources were they able to get such technology," says Waliullah Rahmani, executive director of the Kabul Center for Strategic Studies. "If the Taliban is able to get regular access to these technologies, it will certainly have a significant, unfortunately dangerous effects for the future of the war in Afghanistan."
During the Soviet Union's war here, the United States supplied Afghan fighters with shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles that definitively turned the conflict against the Soviets.

Two-thirds of senior finance and IT professionals believe insider fraud is a risk within their organisation, it has been revealed.
In a Version One survey, 67 per cent of respondents think fraud is possible, and 25 per cent have seen a colleague tamper with company documents.
When the survey was carried out in 2007, 73 per cent of respondents said they thought their organisation is at risk of insider fraud.
And 38 per cent said they had witnessed activity to this extent - suggesting that a slight improvement has been made in the last half-decade.
Greg Ford, Version One's managing director, said the survey results highlight that internal fraud remains a real risk.
"Although it is encouraging that fewer people appear to be committing and able to commit internal fraud involving business documents, the figures remain alarming," he stated.
"If insider fraud is to be effectively tackled, organisations need to invest in fraud detection and prevention solutions, such as a secure electronic document management system."
The National Fraud Authority's latest Annual Fraud Indicator indicated that the UK economy loses around £73 billion per year to fraud.

NBN to miss 2014 target for rollout
PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2013 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 08 Aug 2013 15:02:16PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2013 PRINT EDITION: 08 Aug 2013The latest shortfall comes despite a last-minute rush by NBN Co to sign new contracts worth $580 million with Leighton Holdings-owned Silcar, and Downer EDI. Photo: Rob Homer
David Ramli and James Hutchinson
Labor's centrepiece infrastructure project, the national broadband network, will miss its June 2014 rollout target by more than a quarter of a million homes, as construction delays and problems with subcontractors continue.
Leaked internal forecasts seen by The Australian Financial Review indicate NBN Co now expects to have 855,935 existing homes and businesses ready to connect to the fibre network by June 2014. This is 273,065 fewer than the company forecast it would reach in the latest corporate plan, released in August last year.
NBN Co revealed last month it had reached 163,500 homes and businesses with fibre at the end of June 2013. This was 57 per cent fewer than it had forecast in its corporate plan.
The shortfall comes despite a last-minute rush by NBN Co to sign new contracts worth $580 million with Leighton Holdings-owned Silcar, and Downer EDI before the government business enterprise went into caretaker mode on Monday in the lead-up to the federal election on September 7.
The NBN is one of the key election policy battlegrounds between Labor and the Coalition, which has promised to deliver a cheaper but slower alternative.
The latest construction deals will not affect NBN Co's ability to reach the June 2014 targets because it takes 12 months on average to make premises ready for the NBN.
In total, the 2012 Corporate Plan projected 1.13 million existing homes and businesses across the nation would be able to order an NBN fibre service by June 30, 2014.
This figure is also likely to include a large proportion of apartment buildings and shopping arcades that cannot immediately order an internet service even though they are counted as "passed" by NBN Co.
Much of the delay has been blamed on contractors' inability to retain subcontractors, or hire skilled labour, as a result of poor rates or lack of construction work.
Syntheo set to pull out
Contractors have privately claimed they are suffering financial losses under what they say are inadequate rates originally negotiated in 2011.
Lend Lease-Service Stream joint venture Syntheo said this week that it would pull out of the network once existing works were complete. This is understood to be a result of its ongoing struggle to meet targets and earn a profit.
Telstra's decision to stop preparing its pits and pipes for the NBN due to cases of asbestos mishandling also caused delays in Tasmania. It has since announced work will partially resume from August 19.
NBN Co has now awarded at least $3.2 billion worth of contracts to build the fibre network, with various Leighton Holdings subsidiaries receiving nearly half that amount.
The contracts are expected to delay Coalition plans to change the technologies used in the project should it win government. NBN Co is understood to have met Silcar on Sunday and Monday to sign a renewed 12-month contract with the company. It is also understood that it agreed to an increase of up to 15 per cent on the originally negotiated rates while waiving millions of dollars worth of liabilities for Silcar. This was despite it previously demanding that Syntheo pay out its own liabilities.
Downer EDI also scored a $280 million contract over two years to pass 300,000 homes, at rates believed to be significantly more than those awarded to contractors in 2011.
The contracts were signed at the 11th hour, with approval sought from NBN Co's board just hours before government agencies and companies entered caretaker period at 5.30pm on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refused to answer questions on Wednesday about whether NBN Co had forfeited its negotiating position in rushing to sign the contracts before caretaker conventions came into effect.
"NBN Co does its business . . . they're getting on with building the national broadband network," he said.
Relying on SA Power Networks contract
Although negotiations have been held with big contractors for more than 12 months on renewed contracts, NBN Co has begun signing them only shortly before existing arrangements are due to expire. In June, NBN Co re-signed a two-year, $366 million contract with Transfield to build the Victoria network. NBN Co spokesman Andrew Sholl defended the rollout delays and said all long-term projects came with challenges. He would not confirm that the rollout would fall short in June 2014 by 273,000 premises. He said he did not know how many premises NBN Co would have ready for service by then.
"Issues such as the insufficient mobilisation of some contractors have been flagged for a long time," he said. "As we said in March, we expect to recover this delay incrementally.
NBN Co will instead rely on an existing contract with SA Power Networks for an undisclosed amount to continue works in and around Adelaide, while it has experimented with expanding the scope of a $10 million contract with Downer EDI in Western Australia.
"If other issues arise . . . we will take action to address them. If contractors don't perform we will change them. We remain confident the build will be completed by 2021 ."
When asked about the increase in the cost of contracts Mr Sholl also said the main issues that affected the value of construction contracts were the distances covered and the materials used.
"In built-up areas, where houses are closer together the distances are smaller and the cost of materials lower," he said. "Downer is rolling out purely in areas of high density [and] Silcar is active right across NSW, Queensland and the ACT in the cities and the regions."
Ovum research director David Kennedy said NBN Co had previously flagged it was three months behind schedule and it would be difficult to recover from the issues within a year. "In hindsight NBN Co should have paid closer attention to exactly how everyone in the contracting structure was going to be rewarded and if that made commercial sense for everybody because clearly it hasn't," he said.
Coalition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull criticised the government for entering into new contracts before the election but denied it would significantly alter his party's plan to change the NBN project and timeline should they win government.
"The more critical issue is how can the government say that the NBN rollout is on time and on budget when they have entered into new construction contracts at increased rates," he said. "All of this lends support to our proposition that the corporate plan has underestimated the costs of this project. The only person denying that is Anthony Albanese."
