As visitors stood beneath rows of stick-thin trees 13 feet high, their fringe of green leaves shading the green fruit hugging each trunk, Houle said papayas are harvested with long aluminum or bamboo poles.
The trees are cut down after three years when the yield drops dramatically and they become too tall to harvest and spray evenly.
"From January to March, prices are up because production is limited," he said. "When production peaks, from October to December, nobody wants our fruit."
But the chemical engineer sees lots of potential for the industry. His 45,000-square-foot packing house alone has room for five more heat treatment chambers, he said, and stringent quality controls allow him to trace every fruit in every box back to the field.
"If we pick on Sunday, it's on retail shelves in L.A. on Wednesday," Houle said.
He urged importers to be as specific as possible when purchasing papayas to ensure they get the quality and sweetness they want, which will encourage growers to improve.
"Tell buyers you'll only receive a quarter or half break (in color)," said Houle, who also recommended retailers buy a refractometer to quickly analyze the sweetness of the fruit they receive.
Importer Edwin See, president of San Francisco-based Kiems Produce Co. Inc., said his Chinese customers buy papaya for its health benefits and prefer the small Hawaiian fruit for its size and because it's grown in the U.S.
"Everybody knows that the quality of U.S. produce is better," said See.
Papaya specialist Homero Levy de Barros, president of HLB Specialties in Pompano Beach, Fla., said he was impressed with the taste and with the growers he met, and suggested Hawaii market its niche papayas as the best in the world, hand-picked and hand-packed in a special box.
Yonemura also sees potential in producing value-added products from the 3 million pounds of sweet, edible fruit culled annually at packinghouses because of a slight deformity.
After test-marketing IQF Dream frozen papaya cubes in senior's homes, he said he'd like to see them in school snack programs.
"We need to introduce kids to the taste of papaya," he said.

stir it up
This top goes great with the stir it up bottoms. The top runs true to size and has adjustable strings that tie around the neck and back. There is a slight liner/padding on this top that keeps the suit looking its best. Honestly I thought this would be way over the top rasta but you really only see the red and yellow on both top and bottoms. A great quality product from billabong!

As I'm sure you know, Jon, those 'mutts', with their mixed variety of gene pools, are some of the brightest, strongest (healthiest, in general) and long-lived domestic dogs in existence. I totally agree with you. I love dogs (and animals) in general. Having said that, I've always had a special affection for the mixed breeds. Tim, I would buy one of those Big Momma seedlings. Price, shipping, etc. Really, I would. Just thinking (out loud) ; ) Cheers, |

Jon, Shasta is a beautiful dog and bless you for rescuing her! It breaks my heart to see all of the dogs and cats that are in shelters all because people are not responsible and don't spay or neuter their pets. I rescued a Siberian Husky from our local shelter and she has turned out to be a great dog and I am so happy that I was able to give her another chance. Everyone should consider adopting instead of shopping for a pet. Linda |
Ditto, Linda |

I foster dogs for a local rescue and I love doing it but my current foster is a digger and I'm constantly pulling her out of my hosta beds. She will probably be adopted tomorrow. She's a good dog and I'll miss her but I can garden uninterrupted! |
Sandy, Shasta dug into a large pile of old logs covered with years of leaves and grass clippings that had turned into a hill of compost. She dug her body almost completely into the hill throwing out logs, simply throwing them out with her paws or grabbing them and pulling them out with her teeth as she attacked the pile. Fine with me after 10-15 minutes of furious digging she is ready for a nap when she comes inside. Jon |

The Jordana Easyliner in denim blue is the best blue eyeliner around because it is a professional dark denim blue, not a wacky bright blue. Too many blue eyeliners are ridiculous looking on us gals over 30. These Easyliners go on quickly without any tug. I make my eyeliner pencil last all day by powdering it down to stay. This softens the liner under my eyes, which is great for my fair skin. I just go over the liner on top of my eyes to re-darken the powdered lid liner. I love how these never need sharpening because they are retractable. I will be very mad if Jordana Cosmetics ever discontinues this particular shade because it is a professional staple. It is amazing that Jordana products are even made in USA. The price is extremely reasonable as well.

Yesterday I picked it up at walgreen's at $1.50, really cheap and I must say that for a drugstore product it is amazing! It has a good pigmentation and colors welll and stays long .It's creamy and slide on just fine and really makes my eyes pops.It is a must ,and It works for everyday use.I will definitely buy again...
I love the color and pigmentation as long as you set it there is minimal smudging. The color is GORGEOUS., Love it will repurchase.
I picked up this and a black one at Walgreens for $1.50, and I really like it! This navy blue is a beautiful deep color, and it's not too dark to the point that you can't even differ it from black. It brings out my eyes a lot, and the liner itself is very easy to use. It's very smooth and glides easily onto my skin, and it stays for a while. Definitely will buy again.

Great navy color, nice very dark blue, not bright.
Good for brown eyes. I am a PPP with brown eyes and reddish brown hair.
Nice texture too - soft enough.
Denim Blue is a great navy liner. It's more of a true navy than many other brand's "Navy" pencils -- other brands tend to be too green, too light, or too purple. Denim Blue is a great navy! It looks awesome on my blue eyes because it brings out the navy rim around the edge of my iris. I have not found a Jordana Easyliner that I didn't like -- they all have a lead that's soft enough to apply easily yet hard enough to last all day without smearing or smudging. And the price can't be beat!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Matte color? Oh, I beg to differ. If you look closely, it has eensy shimmer particles that impart a metallic look the liner when it's on your lid. Very pretty and subtle effect, not garish or over the top for daily use.
Applies smoothly as the formula is creamy but not waxy (hate waxy! WnW liners, I'm lookin' at you!) A bit smudgy on me, but I wore it without a base and nothing survives on my oil slick lids without a base, so no real complaints there. The color does not fade as the day wears on. And the price? Oh-so-very-affordable at 1.99 each or 2 for $3 at Walgreens. Definitely a repurchase.

This is a nice, creamy eyeliner. It's a deep blue, metallic but not shimmery or frosty, very pretty. I like to wear it on its own or layer it over black liquid/gel liner. It stays put and looks lovely. I'd buy this again.

Advice for Students Seeking Careers in Elementary or Secondary Education
You'll need to first choose a school of education to transfer to.
Consider factors such as the location of the school and the drive time, tuition and other costs, the length of the teacher education program, availability of day/night classes and the length of the professional semester or two semesters (the practice teaching mode).
Remember that the closest and cheapest program may not be right for you.
Next, check the JCCC program transfer guides or with a JCCC counselor to determine which classes will transfer to the school of your choice.
Start taking classes at JCCC, possibly including EDUC 121 Intro to Teaching, to create or rebuild your college GPA. Intro to Teaching may be required at some schools and exposes you to school systems and classrooms.
Generally, schools of education require a minimum GPA.
Take the Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST) early in your sophomore year so you'll have time to retest if necessary.
The PPST is for Kansas. The CBASE is for Missouri.
You'll have to go through the acceptance and admissions process at the school of your choice, and it's a good idea to get an adviser there.
Note: To get into a school of education, you'll be subjected to a KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigations) check and fingerprinting.

YDKF Episode 127/128/129: BASIC/Commodore 128/Arcades
Posted at 6:00 pm by Rob in Arcade, Commodore, PodcastIt's been a few weeks (apparently) since I announced my new podcast episodes here.
Episode 127 is about BASIC programming. This one has old stories about programming in BASIC, a few new stories about Visual Basic, and some new forks of the BASIC programming language that are still being updated.
Episode 128 is (fittingly) about the Commodore 128. Packed in and around stories about the C128 are a couple of stories about S.A.M., the old voice synthesizer for the Commodore.
Episode 129 is all about the collection of arcade games I owned while I lived in El Reno, Oklahoma. The six machines I owned back then were Elevator Action, Mat Mania, Shinobi, Street Fighter II – Championship Edition, Power Instinct 2, and Star Wars.

Lipoprotein-based insulin resistance, very low density lipoprotein concentration and size, triglycerides and their ratio with HDL cholesterol were associated with incident diabetes across a range of ages and ethnicities, according to research published in Diabetes Care.
These relationships demonstrated in participants from the prospective Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis were independent of established risk factors, glucose, insulin or homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), or the use of lipid-lowering medications or hormone therapy.

Our opinion: Make it a 'high-end' parkApril 26, 2013Want the best view of the City of Warren and its meandering river? Ask anyone who lives here and they will tell you of a place at the top of the hill just north and west of the city called Washingto...... ThemattmobileOnce or twice a month, my weekend job required me to work near the park. Some of those days the work was very physical and difficult. A quick stop in the little parking lot and a look up the valley always refreshed me at the end of the day. 5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » potsyannThis place should be saved and improved ,a lot of people don't even know about it.. 7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » dubeditAre you saying that the high-end homes in midtown haven't all sold out immediately? I am SHAWCKED! I can't see turning over public land for snobs to build houses there. And if the city thinks it costs too much to maintain the access road now, wait until those people demand no-snow pavement in winter, mud-free status in spring, etc. Keep it as a park. Seek an endowment for maintenance costs. Where is Joe DeFreese when you need him? If we would have let him put a few bells there, he probably would have underwritten annual road access costs.

I love this blush! It's the most beautiful flush of color to the cheeks but this blush is very pigmented. A little does go a long way! I would definitely repurchase this color from E.L.F as it is incredibly affordable. The color is great for year long wear, which means I will be wearing this in the fall, winter, and spring. Packaging reminds me a little of the NARS packaging but of course a tad bit different. But other than that, the actual product is beautiful and easy. Maybe this is a dupe for MAC Pink Swoon but I'm not entirely sure.

This blush may look really crazy in the pan but on the cheeks, it's just such a gorgeous healthy bright pop of pink!For the price, you cant really go wrong with this blush! Great pigmentation on this blush which means you do have to be careful when using this blush. A little goes a long way for this baby. However, some do find it a tad powdery, but it seems fine to me in terms of texture. Great for an everyday look and I love reaching for it when I want a heathly "cute" glow to my cheeks! last well on my cheeks and doesnt break me out! overall ELF studio blushes are pretty great for their price and this colour is no exception!

I wanted to love this blush but it just doesn't look right on me. I'm between a nw15 and nw20. It just comes off way to harsh. Maybe I'm just not applying it right so I'm gonna continue trying! Love the packing and love the price! I'm so jealous of people who can pull this blush off cause it truely is a beautiful pink.

This product is an interesting one. I originally purchased it because I had heard it was a dupe for Nars Gaiety. I'm surprised to see people still comparing them as similar because IMO they're not close at all. Pink passion is a really bright yellow based warm pink. there's absolutely no shimmer. It's quite pigmented, and borderline chalky. I found it applies quite patchy, & can be abrasive if you're not careful. Gaiety on the other hand is a light blue based babydoll pink with subtle silver shimmer running through it. It's not as pigmented so you never really run the risk of rocking clown cheeks, and it's more flattering for pale skin. I uploaded a photo of Pink Passion side by side as well as swatches (gaiety is on top, pink passion is on the bottom). Really I'm not fond of Pink Passion. It looks harsh on my pale skin, and because of the texture, it doesn't look good over bronzer. It's not a bad blush, it's pigmented, and it's a nice color if that's what you're looking for. The texture is what kills it for me. I just prefer Nars Gaiety for color, texture, and application. Check out the photo I uploaded and see for yourselves which one would better suit you!
I am so surprised by how much I like this blush. I have been eyeing Kevyn Aucoin's cream blush in Liquifuschia but just can't justify the price tag. Pink Passion is not a dupe for Liquifuschia by any means, but still offers a bright pop of color. I apply this to my NC15-20 skin with my Real Techniques blush brush, light handedly. It gives the prettiest glow! Dont be scared of the bright color in the pan, it blends in nicely. The only downside is I find the blush a bit chalky but its only $3, it can't be perfect.

I'm in love with this!! I saw a video of a girl wearing this but she had much lighter ski tones then me so I was worried but it turned out perfect!! The color may look a little intimidating but it really is gorgeous ! And it's only $3!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this blush! It is a bright pink color and very pigmented. If you use this with a light hand and blend well this gives the perfect flushed look to your cheeks. I have also found this blush to be pretty long lasting. A little goes a long way so this product will last you forever and you can't beat the price. I actually got mine for $1.50 because I had an online coupon. Great blush!!

LOVE this blush!! I bought mine for $3!!!! And the quality is amazing! Soooo pigmented and gorgeous bubble gum pink color! For a dirt cheap, drugstore, blush..... I am amazed! This is my go to blush over my MAC blushes! And the packaging is so small, sleek, and good looking!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow this sucker is super-pigmented! I had to do some blending because I overapplied. One light swipe is all you need! The good news is this will last forever. The color is perfect for that flushed look. Once blended, it looks very natural. Zero fallout. I love the packaging, it's sleek and looks very modern.

Researchers at the Universit de Montreal (UdeM) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), McGill University have discovered that cells which normally support nerve cell (neuron) survival also play an active and major role in the death of neurons in the eye. The findings, published this week in The Journal of Neuroscience, may lead to more streamlined therapies for a variety of acute and chronic neurological disorders, including glaucoma and retinal artery occlusion.
In many neurodegenerative diseases, a main factor that kills neurons is excessive levels of glutamate, the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in many regions of the central nervous system (CNS). Diseases that occur as a result of high glutamate levels include hypoxicischemic brain injury (stroke), trauma, seizures, various forms of dementia and neurodegeneration. For years, the main explanation for the toxic effects of glutamate is that it overexcites neuronal cells via activation of glutamate receptors and thereby kills them.
"The most interesting aspect of our study and the reason we are so excited is that the pathway leading to glutamate-induced nerve cell death involves another vital player namely, glial cells," says Dr. Adriana Di Polo, neuroscientist at the UdeM. "Through careful experimentation we now know that glutamate activates signaling pathways in glial cells that then lead to neuronal death."
Glial cells are the most abundant cell type in the nervous system and are traditionally thought of as 'partner' cells to nerve cells providing support, nutrients and an optimal environment. However, this study indicates that glial cells also have a more sinister side that allows them to induce or exacerbate neuronal death in pathological conditions.
"Neuronal cell death induced by glutamate is a key step in a large number of injury and disease settings and this study is important because it provides a road-map for the cellular and molecu

No part of Illinois sends more people to state-run prisons than Cook County.
Are these high incarceration numbers the result of a strong criminal justice system…or is there something more at play? The Chicago Reporter wants to explore the powerful interests that are driving the mass incarceration of poor people of color, and men in particular.
In our current investigation, we are exploring what effects politicking from the bench might have on sentencing patterns in Cook County Circuit Court. Through investigative reporting and data analysis we will explore:
Whether or not judges and prosecutors are driving up conviction and sentencing numbers to bolster their election campaigns;
Whether or not judges and prosecutors are more inclined to impose stiffer charges and sentences to boost their conviction stats during election years.
We plan to do a series of stories and we have all sorts of ideas for how we can tell the story of the mass incarceration of people from our own neighborhoods. That's where you, and your support, come in.
We'll use the funds you donate to elevate this series in a new way.
Our vision is to invest in creating interactive graphics that can tell the story of politicking from the bench, sentencing disparities and the toll they're taking on our city.
Our findings will be published in our May/June issue and on our website.
The Chicago Reporter has a 40-year history of award-winning investigative journalism that highlights racial and economic disparity and keeps governments and organizations honest and transparent.

Very nice driver however found it somewhat erractic. 3 drives to contend with and then two not so good. I found you had to be on the center of the face...if off....bigt time loss of yards but guess that is the design with CG close to the face and low...Still a contender though!

A typically icy performance from Alan Ladd and some good support from a handful of other actors help to make Calcutta seem more interesting than it really is. This is territory we've all been through before, which by itself is not reason enough to condemn a film. After all, what you do with a plot is usually more important than the basics of the plot itself. Unfortunately, neither director John Farrow nor screenwriter Seton Miller do much that's memorable this time out. The paces are all familiar, the twists are predictable and there's no real suspense, just some fabricated tension. Even the potentially interesting setting isn't exploited here. Granted, it's filmed on the backlot; but even so, there should be more of a feeling of exoticism and newness than is on display here. Ladd is in good form as the kind of noir> hero who can't be hooked by a dame's smoky look or fast curves. He drives the vehicle as well as anyone could, but he needs a better co-star than Gail Russell to play off of. She looks like dynamite, but her acting is poor, and Ladd needs someone more dangerous to really score. Bettr work comes from William Bednix andEdith King, as well as some of the other, more minor players.

"If we could discover how these individuals can coexist with this virus without damage to their immune system and could find a way to replicate that ability in others, we would have a recipe for halting the HIV epidemic," says Bruce Walker, MD, director of Partners AIDS Research Center (PARC) at Massachusetts General Hospital and an initial organizer of the Elite Controller Collaborative Study. Walker discussed the project in a media briefing today at the 16th International AIDS Conference in Toronto.
Most people infected with HIV cannot control replication of the virus with their immune systems alone. Unless antiviral medications are used, the virus continues to reproduce until it overwhelms the CD4 T helper cells, suppressing the immune response and leading to AIDS. In the early 1990s, it was recognized that a small minority of HIV-positive people remained healthy and did not progress to AIDS despite many years of infection. The term "long-term nonprogressors" was used to refer to this group. With today's more sensitive techniques for measuring viral levels in the bloodstream, individuals who are able to maintain low levels of HIV replication can be identified soon after their infection is diagnosed. Some of these viremic controllers can maintain viral loads below 2,000 copies/ml, while an even smaller group, called elite controllers, have viral loads too low

El Taco Llama crafts authentic, quick-serve Mexican fare that folds traditional and exotic meats into tortillas, gorditas, and hard taco shells. Proteins from chicken to barbecue pork to beef tongue fill burritos, sopes, or quesadillas. Orders of nachos supreme can come topped with shredded beef or ham, and special platters of five tacos populate shelled empires with fish, beef cheek, or breaded meat. The tortas plate serves up rice, beans, and tortillas, and combination plates mix and match menu items to make tiny tostado-taco or gordita-taco hybrids that can be used to power fuel-efficient dune buggies.
Qdoba's burrito baristas handcraft a catering menu of Mexican-inspired cuisine, customizable with a panoply of fresh ingredients for a taco, nacho, or burrito bar. Qdoba's culinary crafters craft succulent fillings for burritos, tacos, nachos, and quesadillas, including protein-packing choices, such as slow-roasted pulled pork, adobo-marinated grilled steak or chicken, and spiced shredded or ground beef, with vegetarian options also available. Taste the gooey flavor accents of the signature queso sauce, a three-cheese blend with roasted poblanos, tomatoes, and jalapeños, the pinto or black beans simmered in cumin and onion, or the creamy, hand-smashed guacamole that's ideal for filling up Queen Elizabeth's diamond-studded guacamole chalice. Tortilla chips with salsa bar and desserts complete each catered event, and customers can opt for burrito-boxed lunches and any add-ons.
When they founded it in 1975, the owners of El Indio Mexicano Restaurant hired cooks from the Michoacan region of Mexico to teach them the recipes of Mexico's Pacific coast. Owned by the same family today, the restaurant carries on that commitment to authenticity, slow-cooking carnitas for five hours and cooking beans in a cazo, a large copper pot usually found only in the ruins of ancient Ikeas. The cazo is also used to cook a cornucopia of meats, including beef tongue, pork stomach, breaded steak, sausage, and charbroiled steak. These carnivorous cuts fill quesadillas, handmade gorditas, and 13 types of burrito that arrive unadorned or covered in melted monterey jack cheese and house-made ranchero sauce.
The menu at Johny's Kitchen straddles the border between Mexican and Mediterranean fare. Yet the chefs stitch together the distinct cuisines with common components, including fresh beef and chicken packed into kebab plates or fajitas and burritos. Chickpeas suit up and take a dip in the deep fryer while transforming into the falafel dish, and are paired with hummus or baba ghanouj and pilaf or fries. In addition to international fare, Johny's Kitchen slings grilled and deli sandwiches, breakfast bites, and napkin airplanes between sunny yellow walls and TVs.
Ask Lourdes Limon why her raspados taste so good. She'll say, "Por que los hice con amor"?"Because they're made with love." Now that her sons have taken over the family business, they use the same secret ingredient, but they've added a few new specialties. Supplementing the shaved ice treats that give them their name are freshly squeezed juices, chili-imbued slush-drinks, and healthy fruit salads. But the raspados remain the main event. Flavors include exotic fruit such as guava, tamarind, kiwi, and jamaica, as well as more decadent flavors such as caramel, egg nog, cookies and cream, and plain water.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Champion Concept: Tune – The Ocean's Child ------------------------------------------------------------------ TL;DR:
Quote: R: Mighty Surge Skill Type – Cursor based skillshot that puts out continuous damage at cursor location while left click is held down (cursor can be moved to target different locations during spell). If left click is released Tune can move, attack, and cast spells normally. Left click can then be held down again and the ultimate can be resumed. Damage – Total base damage potential: [300/480/660] – AP Ratio: [1.5] – Damage per second potential [100/160/220] + [AP * 0.5] Mana Cost – [160] Cooldown – [100/85/70] seconds Range – [900] AoE Radius: [100] Duration – [3 to 9] seconds depending on use Perks – Enemy champions taking damage have movement speed and attack and magic damage output reduced by [40/50/60%] ------------------------------------ Description – Upon activation left clicking causes a massive jet of water to shoot from Tune to your cursor location. You can hold and move the cursor to spray the water over different locations (damaging, slowing, and reducing the damage of all enemies hit). Releasing left click allows you to move and cast other spells freely. Upon activation you are given 99 stacks of a debuff called "water pressure" which decay at 11 stacks/second while not casting and 33 stacks/second while casting. Once the stacks run out you can no longer channel the ability and its cooldown begins. ------------------------------------ Notes – The setup of this mechanic should allow you to move and cast other spells (even with smart casting on) while you aren't channeling Mighty Surge with left click. Action Task List (while might surge is activated): Left Click: Cast Might Surge on target location Right Click: Move (surge is not channeling) Spell + Left Click: Cast Spell Spell + Quick Cast: Cast Spell (if left click isn't held down) The reason for implementing the debuff decay as the mechanism for casting this is it allows for the player to do other actions while casting Mighty Surge if appropriate, but still somewhat penalizes them unless they channel for the entire debuff duration. If Tune casts "R" and channels Mighty Surge the entire time, the debuff stacks will last for 3 seconds, if Tune never channels Mighty Surge the debuff stacks will last 9 seconds. Also if you are silenced "Water pressure" will decay normally and you can cast again once the silence wears off. And if your cursor is outside of the range when you try to channel it will still cast, just to the nearest point still in range. Also I use 99 stacks because it evenly is divided by 11 and 33 and triple digits aren't needed for debuff/buff bar (and still allows for a high degree of casting/not casting precision). The damage reduction only lasts as long as the cursor is over the champion (so you can only suppress one champion's damage/movement speed at a time). As far as trying to select something rather than damaging it during the spell duration, selection can be temporarily bound to control or shift left click (also while left click is being held down, the target information can be shown). Rationale – I like the concept of this mechanic because it seems unique and fresh but still intuitive and fun to use. Also I've never really liked channeling abilities because it is so easy to cancel them (either on accident or because of CC). I also like the fact that this mechanic allows for of a high degree of subtle utility (meaning Tune can have a high skill cap but still be easy to play) especially during team fights; if you use Mighty Surge "defensively"—by casting it on the enemy champions dealing lots of damage—you can greatly decrease the amount of damage your team takes and still deal a lot of damage yourself. So there is a lot of strategy/skill in targeting. I hope all that made sense O.o Quote: E: Tidal Wave Skill Type – Line Skillshot (animation/damage travels from the end of line back to Tune.) Damage – Base: [90/135/180/235/280] – AP Ratio: [0.75] Mana Cost – [80/100/120/140/160] Cooldown – [15/14/13/12/11] seconds Range – [1000] Skill Width – [300] ------------------------------------ Description – Creates a Tidal wave tune that rushes towards Tune knocking all enemies caught in its path a small distance (100 units) towards Tune and damaging them. ------------------------------------ Notes – After the 0.2 second cast animation An animation of a wave will build up at the end of the skill shot's range for 0.4 seconds and then the wave will rush towards Tune for 0.4 seconds. This skill is dodge-able but still somewhat difficult to get away from. Rationale – This skill is designed to synergize with "Q" because if you land the tidal wave the knock up time and knock forward from range 1000 to range 900 should allow you to walk the 200 units needed to get within the "Q" range of 700. It also synergizes well with "R," because if the enemy champion is closer that means you will be able to get more of the "R" damage off. Quote: W: Water Slide Skill Type – Line Skillshot Damage – None Mana Cost – [115/130/145/160/170] Cooldown – [45/40/35/30/25] seconds Range – [500/550/600/650/700] Skill Width – [200] Perks – Enemy champions are forced to move in whatever direction they were previously moving for .5 seconds if they enter the ground covered by "Water Slide." Spells cast by Tune within 3.5 seconds of using Water Slide cost [40/45/50/55/60%] less mana. ------------------------------------ Description – Tune conjures a puddle in the direction of the skillshot (the puddle's width = "Skill Width," and its length = "Range") and slides to the end of it at 700 movement speed. If enemy champions enter (or are already inside) Water Slide's puddle they are forced to continue moving in whatever direction they were moving for .5 seconds (think of enemy champions "slipping"). Spells cast within 3.5 seconds of using Water Slide cost 60% less mana. ------------------------------------ Notes – No it will NOT allow you to jump over walls. If you cast through a wall, you will slide as far as the skill shot's range or until you encounter a wall (but the water area will be full size regardless of walls). This ability was conceptualized as a "Slip 'n Slide" and I would have called it that but I feel like that would get into copyright troubles O.o. If an enemy champion was originally standing still in the puddle, the forced movement debuff will be applied upon their first movement (as long as the puddle is still there). After a champion has been affected by Water Slide once they can't be affected by the same spell puddle again. Although I am not 100% decided on this, I think enemy champion spells that have a channel will not be able to be cast while an enemy champion is sliding for the .5 seconds of forced movement (but other spells, including casting time spells will be able to be cast—I kind of don't want this to be at the stun/taunt level of CC). Rationale – This skill is designed to give Tune a good bit of initiation as well as some ability to combo in a 1v1 situation ("W" Tune forward movement + "E" Enemy champion backward movement should get you within 400 range of an enemy which should allow you to get almost an entire "R" off). I tried to design this skill with a few soft discouragements from using it defensively, its mana cost is somewhat high and its reduced spell cost perk means that casting "W" + "E" + "R" will have roughly the same mana cost as casting "E" + "R" damage combo alone. So ideally Tune will initiate teamfights with "W," putting it on cooldown meaning he won't have a free escape (An even though Tune is a squishy mage he shouldn't have a hard time surviving the initial team fight damage if he uses his "R" and damage reduces the appropriate targets until his team can get around him again). Water Slide can definitely be used defensively—I am just noting it has other intended purposes. One other bit of solo combo synergy, if "E" knocks an enemy champion forward onto the Water Slide area, they will continue moving towards Tune (.5 seconds @ 400 movement speed = ~200 range) so if that combo lands then that is a good 300 distance movement on the enemy champion. Quote: Q: Aquatic Missile Skill Type – Cast on target enemy Damage – Base: [85/125/170/215/260] – AP Ratio: [0.7] Mana Cost – [65/75/90/100/110] Cooldown – [5] seconds Range – [700] ------------------------------------ Description – Water rises from the ground around Tune and rushes towards enemy champion. As it travels it coalesces into some sort of shape, the shape is different for each Spell rank. Splashes and damages upon impact.Rank 1: Spear Rank 2: Packman like object that opens its mouth right before impact Rank 3: Shark Rank 4: Ship Rank 5: Liopleurodon ------------------------------------ Rationale – I am trying to design Tune as a relatively simple to grasp champion. And although this skill probably seems somewhat uninspired it is really designed to synergize well with other skills and provide an unconditional go-to damage spell that doesn't need to meet a series of requirements to do significant damage. The W, E, and R skills are the ones that make Tune stand out and differentiate him from other champions. One example of designed synergy is a two spell harass combo early game: If "E" hits an enemy champion it can be knocked from 1000 to 900 range, allowing Tune to walk the 200 needed to land the "Q" during the knock up time. One minor reason behind the unique shapes is to differentiate the "Q" animation from "R." it seems like a generic arcing projectile could be look somewhat similar to an arcing surge of water. Quote: Passive: Mana WellDescription – Tune acts as a point of attraction for nearby mana energies which causes 6% increased mana regeneration for nearby teammates and 6% reduced mana regen for nearby enemies. Range – [800] Rationale – Mana regeneration/degeneration might not seem appealing when more and more champions are released using a different resource mechanic, but I actually feel like that makes this passive more interesting because it means that Tune will synergize better or worse with (and against) certain team compositions. I feel like designing champions so that they will fit in with teams beyond just Carry/Tank/Support/Jungle is something that isn't being paid as much attention as it should. Quote: Base StatsHealth – [390 + 72 per level] Mana – [250 + 48 per level] Health regen – [4.5 + 0.55 per level] Mana regen – [6.8 + 0.60 per level] Armor – [10.5 + 4 per level] Magic Resist – [30 + 0 per level] Movement Speed – [310] Rationale – Pretty standard mage base stats except the base mana is a little bit smaller than most other full mages to help emphasize the "W" mana cost/mana reduction benefit. Quote: Auto AttackDamage – [52 +3 per level] Attack Speed – [0.625+ 2.00%] Range – [600] Casting Duration – [Short] Rationale – I wanted the casting time to be short because he is intended to be a relatively easy to use champion and this will help whoever is playing as Tune last hit. And obviously because he is a pure mage the attack damage will be low.

This champ is probably one of the best water champ concepts out there. Although there are a few minute details that may need some tweaking, overall it is extremely balanced. Each move seems to synergize extremely well with the others. Definitely a great idea, and I really hope that this champion gets adopted into the game. And with that I give this a good ol' bump.
The Ultimate if incorporated does seem to have a cool mechanic, I also like that tune would be like an opposite annie, without that dang tibbers of course but i can also see the ultimate getting annoying for me if ever in the game too haha, but it seems fun! and the passive really incorporates team fights i like that. Good Concept. please check out and criticize my champ concept as well http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...ight=herocanth
Could be fun.
Seems to be very well thought out, I like the fact that Tune has great spell synergy, yet is not soo easy to play that you start seeing the **** about Annie and her monotonous spells. I do recommend perhaps he gets a bigger support role/ have a bit more survivability than just a pure spellcaster. Pretty well written, the lore seems a bit long, it was a good read though.
Awesome champ idea. I feel you've really thought out the new mechanics used and didn't rely on less fun aspects of the game, like I see many other concepts doing. I would actually really like to try this champ. I can see the build now. QEEWER Unless they have blinky champs. In that case go QEQWQR. Build RoA and Rylai's before deciding whether to build tanky AP or just straight AP. Rylai's slow stacking with his ult's slow would be painful. The damage reduction on his ult should probably scale up to 60% instead of starting there. Same with the slow. And how would you go about distributing the dps on his ult? Would it be per stack used? Would it be per second? Because then it could be bugged out by having someone turn it on and off rapidly to get a second of damage each time while not blowing 33 stacks each time. I like that he's a very skillshot based champion. I already love playing Ez and Lux. Less so on Ez because he has no CC and squishes so hard. Tune here has soft CC and the E can even disrupt a Kat ult fairly quickly. Also, it would would be really fun to skill check a bush with that E. Also, there have been champs in the past that have been able to use something like the water slide to traverse over walls. I play HoN too (even though LoL is soooo much more fun. I have friends who play HoN and I like playing with them) and if I recall correctly, some heroes in HoN can ignore walls with certain skills. So you could look into if that's an interesting idea. Maybe just for jumps that are downhill, like out of the base and into the river from high ground. I dunno if you'd want to do that, but it would make the escape more akin to Ezreal's. Then again, you said it was designed more to be initiation, but once again, using it to initiate on someone going after dragon would be fun. Anyways, I like it. Quite a bit.
The Red Banana
Pretty sick dude, R sounds awesome. Would definitely play this guy if he were made into an actual champion.
Senior Recruiter
Wow, impressive champion. Tune I see is much more of a lane pusher than anything. He can push target, move targets, it's again really impressive. Though I do have some recommendations, why don't you make all of Tune's abilities able to move enemy champions. So far you've accomplished that with both Q and W, but for E you can make them jump up something like Malphite's Ult. For your ultimate you can make it like a whirlpool that drags in enemy champion to the center, where they can enter the eye of the storm and be free of damage, while trapping them in a secure area. The area of your ultimate shouldn't be too big maybe a little bigger than Anivia's ultimate. So that enemy champion trapped in the eye of the storm, aren't completely useless you can let them cast spells but of course melee champions are pretty much stranded inside. The casting time should be long so that the enemy champion can tell when your preparing to activate it, which could be good because they can be trying to waste there CC's on you or lose formation trying to avoid your ultimate. Still again your champion is a creative idea. Please, check out of my champion next and provide a detailed critique. http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...d.php?t=910194 DETAILED CRITIQUE! :P

Hi gardenars!
I was hoping to grow the lilium muscadet oriental lily I bought the other day in my apartment because I don´t have my own garden. I don´t have any expeience in any flower planting before. What I have to start if with is a big pot and flower soil. Regards
Follow-Up Postings:
Well....I guess you could grow it in a big pot with a very sunny window....but why? It may grow and bloom for about 7 or 8 days and then just be an ugly plant that you will have to keep growing if you want it to bloom another year. Linda C |
Lilies are pretty unattractive when not in bloom...especially as the stem naturally begins to die down after flowering. Then, they need a cold period (dormancy) before flowering again the following season. If there are already flower buds on the lily....I'd pot it up and enjoy the flowers...then toss it. Lilies are bulbs and have a different growth pattern than most of what we generally consider to be "house plants". |

A mysterious attic packed with long-forgotten items of decades gone by serves as the starting point for this imaginative and visually dynamic fantasy from Czech director Jiri Barta and screenwriter Edgar Dutka. Done with a combination of live action and stop-motion animation, the tale concerns Buttercup, a beautiful doll who falls into the clutches of the Plaster Head, ruler of the Land of Evil. In response, an army of abandoned toys who hold Buttercup dear in their hearts stage a valiant rescue effort. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Baskin-Robbins announced today that it has launched a new veteran incentive program that supports U.S. military veterans seeking to open a Baskin-Robbins franchise in California, Florida and other select markets across the U.S.
As part of the program, the company will waive the initial franchise fee of $25,000 for developing a new Baskin-Robbins location in select markets for qualified, honorably discharged U.S. veterans.
"Having served as an officer in the U.S. Army, I know first-hand the importance of supporting our troops as they transition back to civilian life," said Bill Mitchell, senior vice president and brand officer, Baskin-Robbins. "As part of our brand's commitment to veterans, we are very excited to launch a new veteran franchise incentive program and hope to make someone's dream of owning their own business a reality."
For the first restaurant, Baskin-Robbins will waive the entire initial franchise fee, normally $25,000. In addition, Baskin-Robbins has created a financing program specifically designed to assist new and existing franchisees to develop new restaurants.

Is there any other poster that has oily eye lids? I used to use L'Oreal liquid eyeliner. Passe, I know, but it did not smear. Now I can't find anything that won't leave a mirror image on my upper eyelid. UGH So I've stopped wearing eyeliner entirely, but I miss it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I am using Urban Decay's waterproof liner pencil, it stays......... |
I've tried everything like you and found the best results using a method my friend taught me in college (20 yrs. ago, yikes!): dampen a flat (1/4" wide) rounded tip brish and swipe, like a painter on a palette, eyeshadow (bobbi brown is best for this) and apply sideways to get a fine line, not on the flat 1/4" side--does this make sense? liquid eyeliner is so stark and 50's looking and this way is very natural and contemporary. the effect is also slightly smudged, in a desirable way. it should last you at least half the day, then freshen up for the evening. good luck! |

I have found putting a foundation of powder on your eyelids before and after the eyeliner helps it not to smear. |

I've tried everything out there and the ONLY thing that works for me (oily skin, contacts, tightlining) is Jordana felt tip eyeliner and it's $1.99 at walgreens. seriously, i was so happy to discover it and yet so mad that i've wasted so much money looking over the years (drugstore and high end ) and i have a whole drawer of old eyeliners that i'm now using for arts and crafts lol. also, my HG mascara is the loreal telescopic waterproof (in silver tube with blue writing). no smudging. of course to get all these no smudging products off is the neutrogena makeup remover (the one you have to shake before using), the generic brand of this works too. |

PAC: nothing new in Zums's SONA
Comment on this storyCape Town - There was nothing new in President Jacob Zuma's state-of-the-nation address, Pan Africanist Congress leader Alton Mpheti said on Tuesday.
"What the president said is what he said in the last state-of-the-nation," Mpheti said after the address in Parliament.
"There are no improvements."
He said Zuma had reduced the number of jobs promised and brought up the issue of land claims again, but with no real solution.
"He didn't do half the claims (promised). I don't know where he is taking us."
He said Zuma was not moving the country in a better direction.

AT&T denies 6/29 rate plan claim, will announce earlier
According to AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel, a report today that AT&T will wait until the day of iPhone's launch to disclose rate plans for the device is inaccurate. "We will disclose before the 29th," said Siegel, noting that customers will be able to show up at stores that day knowing how much they will be charged for both the Apple-developed hardware and AT&T's cellular service plans. "It's not going to be anything exotic," Siegel told iLounge, confirming that there will be separate voice and data services components to its iPhone service plans, rather than the one-size-fits-all plans some had expected. As previously stated by both companies, and re-confirmed by Siegel, a two-year service commitment will still be required.

This is excellent news, although an iPhone without data wouldn't allow you to use all the features. Still, it's nice to know you are able to split the voice and data.
Posted by ajmiarka on June 21, 2007 at 2:49 PM (CDT)
While anything is possible, I highly doubt the unlimited data plan will be more than the blackberry unlimited plan which runs $49.99 a month. On the other end, I currently have an unlimited MediaNET plan on AT&T at $24.99 a month. My bet is on a combined Data and SMS plan around $39.99, although I'd be very happy if it were less.
Posted by Charles Plater on June 21, 2007 at 3:18 PM (CDT)
your trying to tell me that being an AT & T subscriber with 1.5 years left on my contract… i will have to tack on another 2 years?????? CMON!!!
Posted by Danny Bogue on June 21, 2007 at 3:59 PM (CDT)
Danny - No, I don't think they'll add the 2 years to your existing contract. They'll just give you a new 2-year contract starting from the day you get your iPhone.
Posted by Adam J. Bezark on June 21, 2007 at 4:12 PM (CDT)
Actually, you guys are probably both wrong…....Danny, I'd be surprised if they even give you an iPhone wihtout paying full price…...You are most likely (with 18 months left on your contract) not eligible for an upgrade…....They'll probably make you pay full price (whatever that may be), or you may want to just pay an early termination fee and get out that way
Hence, I NEVER sign a 2 year contract—-just can't deal with them…....Plus, having comfortable parents who love to spoil me is a plus!
Posted by Jacob on June 21, 2007 at 6:47 PM (CDT)
I believe $499 and $599 are the full prices. As I understand it, Apple is not allowing AT&T to subsidize the price.
Posted by Darren on June 21, 2007 at 6:59 PM (CDT)
$499/$599 are the SUBSIDIZED prices…......AKA, if you sign up for a 2 year contract, that is what you're paying
This could still change, but as of right now, Apple/att have not announced any changes to these prices
Posted by Jacob on June 21, 2007 at 7:11 PM (CDT)
Jacob is absolutely wrong. Are you just assuming this stuff or what? I have 1 year left on my AT&T/Cingular contract. After I pay $600 for my new iPhone a week from Fri.. I will have 2 years left instead of 1 year and I will pay what everyone else pays for the 8GB model. The fact that I'm not "eligible for an upgrade" has nothing to do with the price. AT&T has already said that current subscribers can purchase an iPhone for the same price as non-subscribers or eligible upgraders. Don't talk about this stuff like you know what you're talking about if in fact, you have no idea.
Posted by pat on June 21, 2007 at 7:53 PM (CDT)
I was in an AT&T store today and they told me that the purchase would require both a data and voice plan. They said they didn't know what the specifics would be for those plans but they showed me the PDA plans that they currently offer and said these would likely be close. I did a little pushback to see if there is a reason the data plan is required. I told the guy I just want to use the phone as a phone/ipod and rely on WiFi for internet. He seemed a little confused but he didn't totally back down from the claim about the data plan. My primary location for using the iPhone will be around a college campus where WiFi is relatively ubiquitous.
Posted by mark on June 21, 2007 at 7:58 PM (CDT)
There is no subsidy on iphones. What you pay for his the full price of the hardware. There are no discounts or up-charges. Apple set the prices and that is what AT&T has to charge for them, no more no less. This is a rare instance where the signing of a contract affords you no discount whatsoever. Being as such, purchasing the iPhone should not preclude or delay any earned or future subsidy handset discount.
Posted by Hass on June 21, 2007 at 8:31 PM (CDT)
Phone is $1000 w/o contract, but they won't be selling any w/o contract for now.
Posted by allen on June 21, 2007 at 8:50 PM (CDT)
I don't think an iPhone will be ever be sold without a contract. If it is, its one of those Chinese knock-offs that just came out recently. AT&T and Apple wouldn't risk losing profit through not having a required wireless plan, and even the unlocking of the iPhone itself. Although I wish the iPhone could be purchased without a contract, its not worth $1000. Thats a stupid move, and it would never cost that much. Blackberry's and other smartphones/PDAs are way cheaper.
Posted by Cameron on June 21, 2007 at 11:03 PM (CDT)
the ipod will be sold without a contract. you know how? EBAY. because salespeople will be able to buy the device and will sell the device for a profit. It is always amazing how many devices from all carriers show up there.
Posted by Jeff Reineke on June 21, 2007 at 11:28 PM (CDT)
I think the iphone will be a set price. Because both apple and at&t stores will be selling it, I don't see the apple stores selling plans so how can you charge to different prices?
Posted by appleconsumer on June 21, 2007 at 11:48 PM (CDT)
I have been a cingular customer since it was first at&t. And from personal experiance, I can say that I have upgraded my phone 6 months in to a contract period, with out inccuring any penalties. There main conern is that you remain with them as a customer.
Posted by hector on June 22, 2007 at 3:08 AM (CDT)
Who cares if you can't buy the phone without a contract. Even if you could (such as ebay), where are you going to use it? It's already been stated that it will be locked to AT&Ts; network and even if someone finds a way around that, its also been stated that it will only work on a network with Apple servers installed "deep" inside the hardware….
Posted by shawn on June 22, 2007 at 4:48 AM (CDT)
there are 3 service plans for iphone:
1. 450 anytime mins + 200 text messages + 5000 min night and weekend for 59.99$
2. 900 anytime mins + 200 text messages + unlimited night and weekend for 79.99$
3. 1350 anytime mins + 200 text messages + unlimited night and weekend for 99.99$
all plans come with unlimited data, visual voicmail, rollover minutes, and unlimited mobile-to-mobile
hope this helps.
Posted by chhay on June 26, 2007 at 9:22 AM (CDT)
AT&T is going to allow ANYONE to upgrade to the iPhone because the customer will be paying full retail price for that phone(as it is now done). Their contracts will be reset from the date of purchase to a new 2year one.

the new iPhone rate plans will be as follow:
Customers are presented with six plans to choose from during the activation process. Every plan includes:
Unlimited Data Service

Rollover Minutes
Unlimited Mobile to Mobile
Individual Plans:

SFT threatens to call for bandh if culprits are not arrested
Activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI) and the Aam Aadmi Party protested separately in front of the office of the Deputy Commissioner here on Sunday condemning the kidnapping and sexual assault of a medical student in Manipal on Thursday.
Addressing protesters, Anantha Naik, president of the State unit of the SFI, alleged that the police had failed to trace the culprits even after two days of the incident. "It looks as if these law enforcing authorities protect these culprits instead of nabbing them," he said.
He said that the SFI would intensify its agitation if the police failed to arrest the real culprits involved in it within 24 hours. "We will call for a bandh of schools and colleges in the twin districts," he said.
Jeevan Raj Kuthar, joint secretary of the State unit, alleged that the police play foul games when it comes to arresting culprits.
"In the rape and murder case of Soujanya in Ujire, a mentally challenged person was booked paving the way for the main accused to escape punishment," he claimed.
Activists of Aam Aadmi Party, too, condemned the gang-rape of the medical student in Manipal. In addition, party members condemned the assault on their party workers in New Delhi on June 23.
District convener Robert Rosario said: "Party volunteers staged protest asking the police to register an FIR in the case of a young woman who was confined and raped for two days in Gokulpuri, Delhi.
Although it was a peaceful protest, the police assaulted the volunteers. Several of them were admitted to the hospital with broken bones and other injuries. When one of our volunteers asked for the water, they offered urine," he said.

Things are looking good for Sony's new portable. Speaking during its E3 press conference moments ago, Sony confirmed that 'more than 80 titles' are in development for the PSP successor.
It went on to add that the portable is receiving strong third party support, with those titles coming from studios at 'virtually every publisher'.
It followed by running a short video of upcoming titles, some of which were:
WipEout 2048
A snooker sim
ModNation racers
Super Stardust
AR Fighter
Hot Shots Golf
Tenchu (Or something that looked a lot like it)
Virtua Tennis
Dynasty Warriors
Sony today confirmed that the handheld will be out this year, and will match Nintendo's 3DS price at $249 (249 Euros) for the base Wi-Fi-only model. A beefier 3G model will cost $299. Get all the news on Sony's PSVita announcements here.
