Baseball Comes to Life
That is really what baseball broadcasters are. Whether they are giving play-by-play of live game action on the radio or providing commentary about team chemistry on television – they are the voices that bring the game to life.
There are the broadcasters who remind me of childhood – the ones whose voices I never mistake. There are the ones I've grown to love, because they bring live action from my favorite team each night.
There are broadcasters who root for the home team, ones who talk about statistics and ones who get emotional when they see a great play. These men and women make the game interesting when you can't be there in person.
I've learned a lot about baseball from broadcasters. You learn nuances of the game that may go unnoticed when taking in the game by yourself. Sometimes commentary even provides insight into players that you wouldn't know otherwise – like how a pitcher has been working on a new delivery or how teammates got into an argument during batting practice before the game.
Sometimes broadcasters are Hall of Fame ballplayers who spent 20 years in the big leagues and sometimes they are just a sports fan who grew up loving the game.
During his acceptance speech for the 2010 Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting, Jon Miller told the story of the moment that changed his life as a kid in Candlestick Park.
"I'm looking into that visiting broadcast booth and right in the middle of an inning there's a batter at the plate and that broadcaster says, 'There's a curve ball, low and outside, Ball 2'," said Miller. "And then he grabbed a big handful of, I thought it was french fries, and he jammed all these french fries into his mouth and he's chewing on those fries, and while he's still chewing the next pitch comes in and he says, without missing a beat, "There's a fast ball outside, Ball 3." Then he grabbed a cup full of whatever. He took a big pull on that cup. And as a ten year old I sat there and said, 'That is the life for me'."
Throughout the month of September, fans will have a chance to celebrate their favorite broadcasters by voting online to determine three of the ten finalists for the 2012 Ford C. Frick Award. Voting will take place on the Hall of Fame's Facebook page, from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30.
Seventy-five candidates will appear on the fan ballot – two representing every current big league team and 15 at-large selections. The three highest vote-getters will join seven other candidates as finalists for the Award. Make sure your voice is heard and vote!

Grande delivery
By Samantha Carr
There is one voice that lets you know you are in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend – and it belongs to George Grande.
A crowd of thousands gathered on Main St. in Cooperstown Saturday evening for the first-ever Hall of Fame Parade of Legends. Grande, the retired announcer for the Cincinnati Reds and emcee of the Baseball Hall of Fame's Induction Ceremony announced each Hall of Famer, many with their wives and children, as they waved to fans from the back of Ford pickup trucks on their way to the Museum steps.
Grande's familiar voice introduced each legend with career statistics, a story from their career and even a personal greeting. As Twins legend Rod Carew was announced, Grande commented that Carew looked like he could still hit .300.
"I wish," said Carew.
But I wouldn't bet against the career .328 hitter, who spent 19 years in the big leagues, or any of his Hall of Fame teammates. The new parade format allowed fans to get a wave, say hello and get a photo of their heroes from the longest-tenured Hall of Famer Bob Feller to the most recent – of the Class of 2009 – Rickey Henderson.
But the final spots in the parade were reserved for the newest additions to the greatest team ever assembled, the Class of 2010.
Doug Harvey, Whitey Herzog and Andre Dawson made up the caboose of the line of legends and will be honored Sunday on stage with their Hall of Fame Plaques during the 2010 Induction Ceremony.
The ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center, and admission is free. Forty-seven Hall of Famers will take the stage to welcome the Class of 2010 as well as Ford C. Frick winner Jon Miller and J.G. Taylor Spink winner Bill Madden. The ceremony will be broadcast live on MLB Network and Sirius/XM Radio.
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Linux has gotten a lot friendlier of the years. There was a time, of course, when installing Linux was a bit of chore, finding hardware drivers for it was even more difficult and installing programs was a nightmare.
That has largely changed. Take Ubuntu Linux, for example. That installs easily, contains most of the drivers anyone will need for their hardware and even comes with enough programs installed (an office suite, graphics package similar to Photoshop, etc.) to make it useful immediately. Installing programs is easy to through the built-in Ubuntu store. Oh, and most programs are free.
Now, there are some drawbacks. Some essential programs simply won't work on Linux -- Adobe InDesign and Intuit Quickbooks, for example. Also, there are some things you simply can't do without opening up a terminal and banging in commands on a UNIX-like interface.
Still, Linux has come a long way.

Equestrian Escapes staff
Sarah Caplan BSc BHSAI (UK Office)
Managing Director and Travel Consultant
Sarah has had a love of animals and in particular horses all of her life. Her family had a passion for travel and so it only seemed natural to combine the two strongest memories of her childhood. She qualified from Manchester University with a degree in Zoology and then spent 10 years working as a partner in a travel business. Throughout her life, Sarah has owned and competed horses in show jumping, eventing and dressage.
She is a qualified BHS instructor and later became The British Horse Society Representative in the North West of England. At this time, she became involved in a project looking at the potential of the equestrian tourism market across Spain, Portugal, UK and Ireland and met up with Jose Manuel who was working as a consultant on the project. They now provide the driving force behind Equestrian Escapes, their aim is to provide quality riding holidays around the globe that allow clients to enjoy not only a wonderful riding experience but that also give them the opportunity to sample the culture of the different countries that they visit.

Lindsey Bennett (UK Office)
Travel Consultant and Equestrian Specialist
Lindsey joined the Equestrian Escapes team in May 2010. Having studied travel and tourism at college, ridden all her life and spent 5 years as a polo groom, working for an equestrian tour operator was the ideal career choice. Since joining the team Lindsey has taken a more hands on role in the company and has been involved in visiting potential providers and writing new itineraries including our top sellers North Devon, Wiltshire and Surrey. As a travel consultant it is also important for her to have a high level of knowledge and understanding regarding our European breaks. Therefore she has already been to visit providers in Seville, Jerez and Tarifa and we are currently in the process of planning a trip to Malaga.
Lou Cadman (UK Office)
Office Manager
Lou started riding when she was 3 and was lucky enough to grow up through pony club and riding club before competing at BSJA and BSPS. University put paid to competing and it was during this time that Lou first met Sarah and worked as a groom, helping with three event horses. She still has links with show jumping albeit with her dogs, competing around the UK at Championship level at dog agility. She is also a Kennel Club approved agility judge.
Lou joined the Equestrian Escapes team in July 2010 and keeps tabs on the accounts and other office 'stuff' as well as being able to source the perfect equine break for our customers based on their riding requirements.
She says working for Equestrian Escapes is a great job and loves being associated with horses again! She is looking forward to visiting Spain, and is particularly keen to sample our flagship product Simply The Best.

Best New Band (2009)
Young Coyotes
Young Coyotes has been around for less than a year. In that short time, however, the act has released two EPs, embarked on several cross-country tours, recorded a Daytrotter session, been hailed on numerous blogs and attracted a high-powered manager in Blee Music's Brian Swartz (Rose Hill Drive). Seemingly milliseconds after forming, the band went from playing Saturday matinee sets at places like Lifespot last summer to garnering choice gigs at Monolith's VIP party and Hot IQs' annual holiday party — which led to discriminating music fans across the city howling for Young Coyotes. Why all the fuss? That's easy: The music, which is sparse but fiery and melodic, like Akron/Family channeling the best moments of the Shins with the vitality and conviction of Arcade Fire.

Caters News Agency
Lucy Postins, founder of the The Honest Kitchen, taste tests the ingredients in her company's dog food.
Lucy Postins, founder of The Honest Kitchen petfood company, was recently featured in an article for not only sampling each ingredient that goes into the food, but also sampling the final product.
Postins says she tests each of the petfood recipes for food for flavor, aroma and color. All her recipes are made in a a human food facility, rather than a petfood plant, and the ingredients are sourced from the human food chain, allowing the company to achieve a "human grade" rating from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The dog food she produces includes ingredients like free-range chicken, ranch-raised beef, sweet potatoes, eggs, bananas and dandelion greens. The ingredients are blended together, then the recipe is mixed with water by the consumer.
According to Postins: "There are a lot of people who think their pets are inferior and don't deserve quality food. But so many people are becoming educated on conventional petfood ingredients and production that they want to make a move away from that.
"By actually tasting the food ourselves I think it's a sound way of walking our own talk and helping to assure people we actually mean what we say about product integrity and quality. Some of my friends think it's an odd thing to do, but most of them have pets they love as much as - or in some cases maybe even more than - their own children so can see where I'm coming from.
"A recent 2013 survey showed 74 percent of customers saw an improvement in the well-being and energy levels of their pets from eating the products. And 70 percent saw an improvement in their pet's skin and coat while 60 percent noticed an improvement in their pets' weight. The proof really is in the pudding and our foods are good enough to eat."
We asked Carol Jones-Adams, who founded and runs functional treat maker Overby Farm with her husband and business partner, Bob Adams, to tell us more about her company
Is the Proportions whole food nutrition program a healthier alternative to conventional diets?
The maker of raw and holistic diets seeks to help transform pets through its products, philosophy, education and research
It's the finishing touch that can meet both owner and pet needs.
It's an "Intel inside" type of molecule -- but also a problem child
What is this quiet, unassuming ingredient, and should it be there?

P2P is a term used for a University wide solution currently being developed to
streamline the process of
purchasing goods and services and paying suppliers.
It will involve the automation of the steps involved in what is currently an outdated and time consuming process resulting in a number of tangible benefits to the University and its suppliers.
It is well known that the University is in a strong financial position at this time however in the current climate of financial instability and cuts to higher education funding it is essential that we review and improve our existing procedures and processes. Such review will enable us to make efficiency savings wherever possible and will help us to maintain our strong financial position for years to come. By embarking on this project together, we can make significant savings by ensuring that we get the best value and service from our suppliers.

Cardigan Bay Hotels
Best Western have 2 hotels in Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay is a large enclosed inlet of the fresh and blue Irish Sea, just above the Bristol Channel, and is a remarkable part of the country. Best Western has two beautiful hotels in Cardigan Bay. The first, Lamphey Court Hotel and Spa, has a majestic and regal feel to it, its large front entrance, supported by columns, is reminiscent of the White House. The other, the Diplomat Hotel and Spa in Llanelli, is slightly cosier, although still boasts three restaurants as well as a steam room and sauna. Book a stay in either for a heavenly short break in rural Wales. Either Cardigan Bay hotel promises an enchanting short break.
Town and city breaks in Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay encapsulates most of the West Coast of Wales, including numerous seaside towns and villages of various sizes and styles. Quarried stone arches mark the Gothic entrance to Cardigan's mysterious old guildhall. The old town lies on the estuary of the River Teifi and has good shopping facilities as well as a theatre and a modern arts centre. New Quay, a historic fishing and shipbuilding centre, is certainly worth a visit from your hotel in Cardigan Bay. Follow family-favourite Dylan Thomas's whisky-fuelled steps through the towns cliff-top terraced streets.
Holidays in the Cardigan Bay countryside
This is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque and attractive areas in Wales. Head in any direction from your Cardigan Bay hotel and you are sure to be taken aback by the untouched and peaceful surroundings. Why not try a spot of canoeing down the River Teifi, starting by the pools near Tregaron, however, make sure you check the tides and always be considerate to fishermen. For bracing walks, look no further than the Ceredigion Coastal Path. It's just one mile to St Dogmaels for some charming 12th-centrury abbey ruins. Adjacent cycle paths are also worth investigating and will guide you to Llangrannog's pretty bay where indigenous wildlife is abundant.
Beach holidays in Cardigan Bay
The coastline is magnificent all the way around the Bay, varying from rugged cliffs, rolling hillsides, secluded coves and buzzing beaches. Wild ponies roam around Cwmtydu Beach where old lime kilns line the back of the beach, a space widely thought to be the hiding place for smugglers' booty. Aberporth Beach is a favourite destination for families and should be visited no matter where you're staying. Windbreakers should be worn by the keenest of rock pool explorers as the vast beach could take hours to investigate thoroughly.
Attractions in Cardigan Bay
Stay at a hotel in Cardigan Bay to meet the charming local wildlife such as curious grey seals off Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park. One of the most popular activities in which to indulge along the coast is dolphin spotting. The well-known Bottle-Nosed species can often be seen leaping and darting through the waves, hunting in pods of up to thirty individuals. Porpoises and Grey Seals are also often sighted from the Ceredigion Coast Path. Rare Welsh pigs are bred on the National Trust's John Nash estate at Llanerchaeron. Book a Best Western hotel in Cardigan Bay to experience this and much more.

The No-AD Teemo Guide
This is a guide for, you guessed it, a Teemo that doesn't focus on investing 10,000 gold to become a third-tier physical carry. This guide isn't AD. None of his skills synergize with AD or crit%, and he has a lower range than other, better-suited, DPSs. Play him however you want, of course, just focus on fun rather than winning. This guide prioritizes Cool Down Reduction = Magic Penetration > AP > Survivability About the author Not a pro. I've got about 380 wins, many of which are from a long time ago (I spent awhile playing other games after I realized I took this game too seriously and wasn't enjoying it). Now I play a game or two a day, and I'm having fun. Anyway, that's all said to let you know a little about who is giving you advice… Why am I prioritizing stats the way I am? (CDR = MPEN > AP > Survivability) Cooldown Reduction (CDR) Helpful for almost all champs, but required for this Teemo and his play style. With the latest patch (October, 2010), his mushroom skill is orders of magnitude more efficient. A simple queue for shrooms would have been enough, but on top of that you can place them in quick succession and you start each life with 2. Why is the queue so important? Not one second of wasted time. Before, if you could place 20 mushrooms in 10 minutes, every second you spent off cool down was reducing the total number of shrooms in play. Now you don't waste any potential shroomage until you are holding three. Surely you can find a place for one before that happens. I'm not going to waste more of your time with the mathcrafting, but suffice it to say that the difference between 0% CDR and 40% CDR is 27 or 45 level 3 mushrooms on the field at any one time. This is a big difference in the amount of map control/awareness for your team, and at 700 base damage a pop, this is a lot more damage potential. Magic Penetration (MPEN) A level three mushroom's base damage is 700, and it scales at .8 damage per AP. When is magic penetration better than AP? If your AP ratio is low, or your base damage is high. Why? Because AP adds flat damage, while MPEN adds % damage. If your base damage is 1, adding 10 is better than adding 10%. If your base damage is 1000, adding 10% is better than adding 10. Again, I've crunched numbers I'm not going to bore you with, but you're better off spending money on 20 MPEN before AP in almost any likely scenario. The more magic resist the enemy team has, the more MPEN you want to buy. In general, buy the Haunting Guise, and if the other side is stacking MR, buy a void staff. It's important to add that at least the first 20 item-based MPEN helps your blinding shot more than the equivalent $ amount of AP would as well. Ability Power (AP) Yes, 1000 damage on your mushroom is greater than 700. I did some serious math crafting to confirm, but again, I won't bore you with it. Anyway, AP has obvious synergy with Teemo's skills. One that bears a little extra attention is his poison passive. While focusing on Teemo's skills (and mainly his mushroom), the icing on the cake is that our auto attacks, and thus DPS is increased. This damage does not crit of course, so attack speed synergizes, but not crit chance. This build won't get you to 1000 shrooms unless the game is really long (and you buy additional AP items not listed). Most of the AP you pick up will be a side effect of the acquiring your other stats. Survivability (…Survivability) Teemo is squishy, and he plays hit and run games. We aren't investing enough gold to change his play style, but enough to make him a little safer at it. Runes Magic Penetration Reds Dodge Yellows (I run these for all champs because they're decent and IP doesn't grow on trees) Mana Regen per lvl blues Flat Health Quints Explanation We are going to focus a lot of our pre-game choices on mana regen because we want to harass constantly. The others are pretty basic and explain themselves. Summoner Spells Exhaust Flash Exhaust is an excellent complement to Teemo's blind skill (Q). With good CDR, you can blind, exhaust, and blind again. This combo on their carry is one of Teemo's primary contributions to a team fight (sadly). This combo is probably the reason why the recent patch lowered the blind time, but who knows. Flash fits with the hit and run play style. It's good to get the above combo off in a team fight. It's better to get it off and live. Flash also has tons of other uses covered in countless other guides. It's good. Honorable mention Teleport. You can teleport to mushrooms, which opens up a lot of options. Lane changing for a good harassment match up is good. Further, once you have high map awareness, high mobility is a good compliment. You can get behind retreating champions. You can quickly steal buffs. If a few other champions have teleport, even better. In solo q, stick with flash. Masteries 9/0/21 Offensive Tree: you want CDR, Improved Exhaust, and MPEN. Utility: again with the CDR, but also meditation (mana regen), improved speed, and improved flash. Quick explanation Consider CDR and MPEN already explained, and improving our masteries is self-explanatory. Teemo has high base move speed, and thus benefits from the move speed mastery more than most. Mana regen is nearly required because of Teemo's harassment play style, not to mention the focus on dropping lots of shrooms. Skill order (explained in a little more detail in the how to play section): Q E E W E R Then R > Q > E > W Core item build If you understand the "essence" of this build, feel free to mix and match to perfect what works for you. As with any well-played champion, item builds are largely dependent on the other team. You need to understand all the champions, not just your own, and that only comes with time (helps if you play them of course – play that 6300 champ when he/she is free a few games. If nothing else, it will help you learn how they work.) Starting Items Ability Tome + health pot Explanation This is why we've invested into mana regen in runes and masteries. The amount of harassment Teemo is capable of really does make the extra AP pay off, and you can rush guise. With guise first, you get some HP early, but most importantly, the 20 mpen will have a big impact on the first shrooms you plant as your enemies' MR will be low (probably base). The downside is you don't really have any extra survivability. This may be difficult for some players, and even experienced players will run into the double stun, hard harass match up. Alternative Starting items Meki pendent + 2 health pots (or even Doran's Ring + Pot) Explanation Meki builds into fiendish codex (AP, CDR, mana regen), and solves your mana problems. Nearly unlimited harass. The extra pot provides a little safer start. I'm not going to trash talk doran's ring if you need it, either. In the big scheme of things, it has no wasted stats, and the gold won't slow you down that much. First trip back Guise/Codex (whichever you choose) + boots 1 Explanation Teemo's main means of surviving is movement, thus the boots. Codex and Guise are both cheap items with no wasted stats for this build. You're building both anyway. Now it's time to finish boots, and the enemy team will be taken into account for this decision, as well as all subsequent item choices. The boots you want: boots of swiftness. This with mastery and Move Quick (W) will make you the annoying yordle you're supposed to be. The boots you often have to take: mercury treads. Let's face it, there is a lot of CC out there, and these are often necessary. HOWEVER, I'm always tempted to run swiftness and banshee's veil every game where I need treads. Haven't done a lot of testing, so we'll stick with the general wisdom here. Honorable mention: boots of mobility. I don't get them, but I won't tell you they're bad either. Again, map awareness + mobility is a good thing. Moving around the jungle planting shrooms is what we do. Swiftness is simply better all around in my opinion. Imagine how frustrating it would be to fly around with Move Quick and the Mobility boost to lose it all when you need it most. The "don't be tempted by these" boots: sorcerers shoe's. If you need more than 20 MPEN, odds are you are better off with a void staff. I feel like I'm saying this a lot, but I really did crunch some numbers. Squishy champs (mostly) sit at 30 MR. 20 MPEN is the sweet spot for them. Tank champs that buy a single MR Item will likely have >70 MR, which is when the staff will start penetrating more than the boots. (In reality, that's not true due to your runes and mastery, but your time is precious). The point is, the other boots offer so much, and these boots offer so little to the over all Teemo package. How to fill out the rest of your build Make a decision on what codex becomes (Nashor's Tooth or Death Fire Grasp). If the team is high HP, go with DFG. More squish, Nashor's. DFG is up every minute, meaning just about every team fight. In a perfect world, you want to save it to open up on a carry or something like that, but I don't mind blowing it on the high hp melee dps or even the tank if that is all that's available. Better to use it then hold it for the right moment the entire game. With enough MPEN, even the tank will feel it. On the other hand, Nashor's gives excellent CDR, meaning more shrooms. Further, it increases your attack speed, which helps your poison damage. It's a good choice against squishier teams. First, they actually can feel your attacks, and second, shrooms destroy them so more = better. From here, I think I can narrow down your choices to three items: Zhonya's Ring, Void Staff, and Banshee's Veil. It depends on the enemy team. The good news is, you'll be far enough into the game that you will be well-informed before you have to make this choice. They are all solid items, and in a long game you may even decide that all three are a good idea, but what comes first? Simple. Are you getting targeted first in team fights or having a hard time staying alive? Veil. Not only does the spell block have obvious usefulness, but if you're the only one of the team with one, guess who they aren't going to target? Just a caution, once you face stronger teams that coordinate, this is less true. You may even feel the need to move catalyst up in the build order if you are having trouble surviving the lane phase (or you think you will). Is the enemy team stacking MR? Void staff. The more they stack, the harder this little guy works for you. It also gives AP, meaning that it's probably worth getting even if only 1 or 2 are stacking MR. If neither of these are true, go for the zhonya's. Every single mushroom is now a real threat. The active is OK, but 90% of the time people turn golden when the team fight is decided and folks just sit idly and kill you when you've finished your Midas impersonation (the other 10% is a Kennen initiation). How to play this build Even with the proper play style, you are still not going to single-handedly roll over the other team. What you can do, is actually be a solid contribution to the team, and more importantly, have fun doing it. I'm also going to include a section just on mushrooms. Laning Phase You'll hear different people say different things, but I'd say grab blind first. It's an extra 80 damage, and given the amount of auto attacks in any early fighting, the blind is helpful. Blind + Exhaust doubly so. If nothing else, you can get one of the champs in the 2v2 to turn and run for a few seconds. Congrats you win. While laning, use blind and an auto attack every chance you get. Seriously. Keep enough mana in reserve for an emergency blind if it get's messy, but otherwise use it every chance you get. This is incredibly effective. The effect on weak laners will be ridiculously obvious, but let's take Garen, who has his built in heal. Your poison last for 4 seconds, meaning he has to wait 11 seconds to begin the healing process. This is a significant reduction in its effectiveness, and yes, you can push him around and zone him out (at least for awhile). Zoning is an important concept (covered well by others), but I'll highlight it here for Teemo simply because it's integral. Take your standard 2v2 situation. The game starts: make your first purchases quickly and head to lane. Sit in the outer bushes as close to your tower as possible (unless you and partner choose to be more aggressive), and go invisible. The reasoning is simple: you don't want them to take early control of the bush. Once they show themselves, you simply pop out of the bush and smack em with a blind and possibly some auto attacks. Head immediately back to bush. Repeat this process, once you've got poison at level 2, it's much more effective. That's the basics, now the more important part. Make sure you and your partner are not auto attacking. Last hit only! You want to keep the action in neutral territory for many reasons, but once you establish lane dominance, you are going hang out in THEIR bush. Continue with the 'ol in-out-in-out until you've sufficiently separated them from the action. They lose XP and Gold. If you push them to their tower, they only lose gold. Further, it may just be my ELO, but you'll be surprised how many players will get frustrated and do something stupid – netting you an easy kill. The Mushroom Section If you can't pick a gold card under pressure, you're a bad Twisted Fate. If you can't effectively place mushrooms, you're a bad Teemo. I'll provide the basics, and either the more advanced ideas come to you, or I'll always be a better Teemo than you. (Don't worry, they aren't hard to figure out and will come to you). At level 6 – Your first mushroom 90% of the time, the first shroom goes into the river bush. 10 minutes of gank prevention is great. If you're having trouble maintaining lane dominance by this point, shroom the outer bushes instead. In this case, I like their bush, but closest to our tower. From here on, the goal is to shroom the inner and outer edges of the lane. Whether fleeing or ganking, it all happens on the edges, not the middle. Further, shrooms in the middle will probably just be set off by minions. From here out, shroom it all, but prioritize. Rough Shroom priorities during laning phase River Bush Each end of both outer bushes (4 shrooms total) 2 Additional shrooms evenly spaced in river entrance The opening in the lane near your tower On the outer wall a little in front of your tower Inner wall of lane near your tower This will keep you busy to start, but the result is that you've guarded every approach and you have complete control of your lane. You've even got tower divers covered. If you've got all these placed, do what you need to. Shroom dragon, near their tower, or the middle of the lane to keep them from pushing (if you're leaving for a bit), etc. The end result is the least-recognized contribution of Teemo to the game – starving two enemy champs, and possibly killing them a couple of times as a bonus. With that said, you are going to run across matchups where this is simply not possible. If you can get a switch to a better situation, you and your team would be WELL served, but in solo q, it can be tough to get. Mid- and Late-Game Shrooming First, don't ever hold three shrooms in your bag. I'd rather you place it ANYWHERE (other than your fountain) than hold it – With that said, the main purpose will be to limit mobility. Any and all choke points deserve a shroom. Obviously, you want to focus shrooming the area around the action, but the baron, dragon, and all buffs deserve a shroom when you can to act as wards. Again, when in lanes, focus on the edges. During a push, the goal is to protect your team as you push. Think of it like digging a mine – Teemo is the one building the supports to keep the walls from collapsing. As you push, shroom the access points to the lane. Block everything. The second priority, especially late game, is to start putting down shrooms in the middle of the lane to prevent or slow counter pushes. This is also a good idea in the lanes not seeing any action. No one likes to hear that minions have taken their top tower. Oracle's Elixer (Thanks to ImDerek for pointing out this missing section) (Updated 11/4/2010 - Mushroom's no longer give gold to their killer) Once you see the other team tagging your shrooms, placement priorities need to change. Obviously, you can't leave them out in the open, but must place them on the edges of brush. The good news is, there are still more places to put your shrooms than you have time for, so your effectiveness is on marginally lower. On the other hand, the team will need to buy oracles, and if you can't make them buy multiples, it wasn't the oracle's that beat you. That means multiple 450 gold investments, and now that mushrooms don't reward the other team with gold when killed, this is even more noticeable and will slow item progression. More often, people don't buy the oracle's unless your shrooming becomes a problem for them (ie it has swung a fight or two in your direction). They pick up the elixer and clear a few of the shrooms you have in the open. Your shrooms go in the bush, and they stop buying oracle's. That cycle repeats. I do not consider Oracle's a hard counter to mushrooms. Minor Strat to Mention: Jungling – drop shrooms at the wraiths and wolves even if they aren't there. If you've got the damage, they'll die when they spawn. You need more damage then you think, though. since you aren't there, they begin healing after taking damage. Team Fights Most of the time, you know when it's coming. Hold two shrooms. When the location has been determined, drop one in the middle of your team's "side". Next, look to blind/exhaust the carry, but finally, if safe, drop the second shroom right in the action (or as near as you can). No, most of the time people don't stop doing what they do in a team fight to drop the mushroom – especially given that most Teemos are AD, and their shrooms are pitiful. Your single mushroom, on the other hand, can have a huge effect. Level three shrooms have large blast radii. You're going to hit multiple targets. Mass slow, and in your average game, your shroom will knock off huge chunks of any squishy's HP. If your team begins to run, or didn't fully commit and begins to dance backwards, hitting that first shroom you dropped will often trigger the second engagement (the one where you slaughter them). Teemo isn't useless in teamfights, but the above leaves a lot lacking. If it takes place in an area you haven't pre-gamed, that's all you can expect. If you've had time to sow your oats on the other hand, you will cause mass hysteria and wipe outs. The moral, then, is to pre-game as many places as possible, and for your team to stick to those areas. That's it, I hope I was able to provide even a small amount of useful information. I hope you got something from it, but I fully expect this to just turn into an AD vs AP argument. Thanks! Elyk |
Reserved for no reason except I see other people doing it in their guides and it could be useful =)
Updated the guide based on the November patch - mushrooms no longer give the other team gold when killed. |
1 oracle = 0 shrooms at the map at all times!!
Once you see the other team tagging your shrooms, placement priorities need to change. Obviously, you can't leave them out in the open, but must place them on the edges of brush. The good news is, there are still more places to put your shrooms than you have time for, so your effectiveness is on marginally lower. On the other hand, the team will need to buy oracles, and if you can't make them buy multiples, it wasn't the oracle's that beat you. That means multiple 450 gold investments, and no, you're not going to pay them off killing shrooms. This will slow item progression, if only marginally. A harder counter, in my experience, is a tank Gragas. I was in a team with 3 champs that went AP (I probably would have gone AD if I'd been paying attention). Gragas was beefy, Gragas had MR, and Gragas had his skills. He simply acted as a mine sweeper. That was a fun game - challenging, but we won and I did very well. Thanks for the input! Edit: Added this, and a little more info to the guide. |
I just picked up Teemo last night after finally completing my Rune page for Ashe. I've really enjoyed the concept of getting to be on the delivering end of those pain in the rear poisons, but wasn't too crazy about completely ignoring the obvious benefits of AP Teemo in favor of my normal DPS build for Ashe.
I'm really glad I found your guide (I think it just got posted in the database today)! It explains all the stuff I needed to know. Excellent Guide! |
Oh, as a note on the boots decision...
I find that for many squishy / carry champs (I main Ashe at the moment, so...plenty of squishiness!) the benefit of Banshee's Veil and Boots of Swiftness is actually much more beneficial than Mercury's Treads. My reasoning is this... Squishies such as Teemo and Ashe are designed to be out of the fight. Any hint of getting attacked, and they fold like a house of Twisted Fate cards! So, even though Mercury's Treads will reduce that 2 second CC by 35% to a 1.3 second CC, it's too late for us! We die within a portion of a second anyway. It would be infinitely better to simply prevent that CC from ever landing. This keeps us alive and mobile. I haven't actually tested this with some kind of rigorous experiment, but I found that with Ashe, I was able to survive much better with a Banshee's instead of Merc's. In addition, I have found that instead of Swiftness, if I purchase Phantom Dancer, Lich Bane, etc. along with the boots of my choice, my movement speed usually equals what it would have been with Swiftness. So, I now focus on movement enhancing items besides Swiftness Boots. For example, I use Zerker's & Zeal for Ashe's movement. Works like a charm, and synergizes quite well. For Teemo, a Lich Bane might do the trick, and since we're already stacking alot of AP, we're going to get a nice boost to our damage when blinding. Which leads me to wonder if Lich Bane procs on Toxic Shot? That would be OP, of course, but I guess you don't know until you try...I'll be testing that this afternon! |
You've nailed why I'm tempted to skip treads and get a veil. Like you, I've not done enough testing to buck conventional wisdom, but it's worth a shot. The downside, of course, is that it's much more expensive, but it's at least an option. By the way, Toxic Shot is a passive and does not proc LB. With that said, LB is an effective item late game. The only thing better than 2 blinds and an exhaust is 2 blinds, an exhaust, and 2 LB procs. It also has no wasted stats, which is a plus, although the mana really isn't needed if you're picking it up late game. If you head the LB route before a Zhonya's, just realize that you are shifting focus from your mushrooms to your nuking ability. |
His name backwards is Ward Kyle.
bravo, OP
still. the main problem with AP Teemo is that it's expensive and his midgame is rather weak. |
(Kudos first to Zero lol)
Good points Xttchizobr. I agree that if you are focusing AP, then LB is brilliant. I only recommend getting it after a different AP item. In the OP build, AP isn't prioritized, and thus LB comes late. When I played awhile back, AP was much cheaper to acquire than AD. That may have changed, but Teemo's farm is stronger with AP. The sroom queue allows you to hold that shroom for the large creep wave your heading to. Further, late game I begin shrooming lanes to slow pushes, which kills more creeps. Those are relatively minor points, but the main thing is, this core build is cheap. Guise, Codex, and boots are easy to get, have no wasted stats, and actually help tremendously with the mid game. Thanks for the comments! |

More reviews by Makeupprincess
This is one of the staples every girl needs in her makeup collection. It's very creamy and similar to liners that are much more expensive. I have used several over the years! Again, I carry this in a Hefty zip loc bag in my purse since the cover comes off so easily.
I normally don't write reviews but I had to for this product. It was that bad. When applied all over, it was just this nasty dark brown color on my lips which washed me out. It was also very dry and patchy- kind of clumpy. Might work if you're going for the "I ate a lot of chocolate and it smeared all over my lips" look. As a liner on the edges, it still smears too much. I threw it out right away. Good thing it's only a dollar!
It's a good lip liner, it's not too dark it's kind of in between red, wine, and plum
All around this is definitely worth the price, it's around $4.00 i think, so can't beat that price and the quality is pretty good.
This & 712 are my fave WnW lipliners. Make that my fave lipliners of all time! I have MAC strip down, subculture & spice, but it seems sooo to ridiculous to spend US$16 when a dollar will do the job. A good every day product.... Somexs I will line my lips, fill them in w either 666 or 712 & put Rosebud Salve over the top. 666 goes w most lipsticks I own, other than the few bright Snooki pinks or a couple reds...
One of my favorite lipliners. It's a very nude pink color, regardless of what it is called. Its more mauve than anything. I use this with so many lipsticks its crazy. It's very pigmented and lasts a long time. Formula is not too dry or soft. It isn't as soft as higher end pencils, but it can't be beat for the price.
I use this with all my brown lipsticks and nudes that I cannot pull off because I am so fair and cool toned. Fixes most of my lipsticks that I normally would have to toss or give away for being too warm.

This lipliner is the closest to my natural lip color. It makes for a great base as well. The quality is great and I'm not even considering just how cheap it is! It's a great dupe for MAC's Spice.
It really is a universal shade that everyone should own. It's such a bargain to try, and the quality is so good, you really can't go wrong!
The best thing about this lipliner is that I can use it with darker lip colors as well as with nude shades. It's so versatile and universally flattering. For the price it's such a great bargain. Everyone should try it.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Excellent! Better than any high end liners. It is ridiculous to spend alot of money on lip liner. I am 58 1/2, have stopped dying my hair for over 4 1/2 yrs now. I have green blue eyes, pale complected & have tried almost every lip liner out there,in my lifetime, from very expensive to el cheapo, & since New York Color stopped making their nice, long lip pencils that I used for years, which were under a dollar-this is the best. I used MAC lip pencil for a few yrs. But now, I am living on very little financially & the truth is, that this is a universal shade & it can be used with many different shades of lipstick. For 99 cents, it is a no brainer! It easily beats out most all the others out there, in my opinion-not just price wise, but it is not drying, & you get alot of product, as well as a beautiful shade! The packaging is cheap-but....so what? To be honest, I had tried it before, when I was still coloring my hair & for whatever reason, wasn't wild about the shade, but, now that I am allowing my hair to be natural, this shade is perfect!! UPDATE-Am finding the shade is too brown on me. So will still be on the look out for a better shade & pencil, but this is still an excellent product for the price. I subtracted a lippie due to it having too much brown for me. New York Color-why did you stop making the perfect lip pencils? They were dirt cheap, you got a long pencil & the shade range was awesome! Sometimes, I think when cheap products become too popular-larger, more high-end companies come in & make deals with these companies so that they stop making them! Lol!
8 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Have used this for >10 years. Love it and have repurchased repeatedly. When I first bought it, MAC wasn't as readily available as it is now and 666 was touted as a cheap dupe for "Spice" lipliner. I loved it, whether used prior to many varied lipcolors or with just MAC clear Lipglass.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow, I just picked this up by accident at CVS while browsing the megashields and the wildshines. I saw the colored bottom of the pencil sticking out of the slot, and it just struck me as being incredibly beautiful. I've been lemming Half Red for awhile, so I've been on the look-out for a burgandy lip pencil that I could try with some of the plums and reds I've been buying lately, so I thought I'd give this a go. Then I saw the number on the side, and a bell rang distantly in my head. I've been coming here and reading reviews for YEARS and I think this lip pencil was the first thing I tried because it was so highly recommended, AND I REMEMBERED I DIDN'T LIKE IT. It was too dark, too hard,etc. But this time, the color just looked SO gorgeous and exactly what I've been looking for, and I've been hearing so much about the quality of Wet'N'Wild that I was willing to give it another go. So I purchased Wild Shine in Lustful and used 666 as a liner. BEAUTIFUL!!! I really couldn't be any more pleased!

I liken our generation to a 4 year old little brat who found a box of matches and with those matches he played, burning his home and the city he lived in to the ground. Killing all sorts of creature's plants and people. Ashamed of what he has done he begins to lie, convincing himself and others that he has done nothing wrong. Still, he plays with matches.
Those who survived the fire live in a radioactive environment. This causes severe pain and suffering from the damage the radiation does to the body and mind. The sickened, mutated, miserable people spend the rest of their lives like zombies, searching hi and low for something uncontaminated to eat.
GOD made the Sun and the Moon to give us light. Apparently that is not enough for this generation; we want more and have found a way to make our own version of light-energy. Having some knowledge of nuclear fusion but without wisdom we play. Building a nuclear power plant in a Tsunami prone area like Fukushima, Japan or anywhere else in, "The Ring Of Fire" proves just how unwise we are to play with matches-nuclear fusion-radiation.
Don't say anything, maybe Christ won't notice we are killing His creatures and destroying The Earth.

My fuck buddy left around ten o' clock this morning. It is birthday today. My room was a bit messy. I wasn't suppose to see him lastnight, because he had a date with some girl he met on faceparty. Well he told me, it was a bad move, he met her before. He regretted organizing that second date. She had a great personality but on a more shallow note she was "facially challenge" and over weight. My buddy was taking his time convincing me that I have to be there. He couldn't turn her down with out me being there ok. He told his date would chaparoned by her gay boy-friend (imaginary boyfriend I presumed).
The guy was georgeous but we had nothing in common apart being gay and studied maths. My buddy boy came up to my apartment for a chat and cuddle, but almost nothing happened. We concluded that she has some issues she had to resolve every guy entering her would exist in a context of hey boy-friend. She is still in love with that guy, but she also realized she couldn't have him. It's gonna be like she is mere borrow my buddy's body, while she is having a true emotional committment with him. The boy-friend guy was geourgeous but on a less shallow note dull. I guessed his main concern was not about himself that night but to protect his friend from a strange boy like my buddy . I am also as guilty as the next guy, because I wasn't really being myself. I was scare of meeting new people and I was worried about my friend. I warned him not to get anyone off the net again. There will be plenty of opportunity for him to do now he has an ok job.
The consulation for lastnight was actually this afternoon, when I got up and went to Subway for a Wrapo. I was greeted with a cute boy standing behind the counter. There will always be plenty of eye candies, but the problem is to see through these facade we all put and realize who they really are. Also to know who other people really are I have to discover myself. This is a daily chores. Because very little thing like sunlights, podcasts, musics and event from the day before would affect who I am going to be on that particular day. It's so much easier to assume the role of my stereotypical self.
Woah. I just can't follow you're love, well traingles isn't the word. Doedecahedrons is probably more correct.
And I'm sorry you can't find anything more than eye-candy, but often that is all the world seesmt to consist of
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suf-fer-ing"

text: Beth Myers, Mitt Romney's former chief of staff on Beacon Hill and the manager of his 2008 presidential campaign, will head up his search for a running mate, Romney told ABC News… Having Myers in charge means the selection of a vice presdiential candidate will be managed by one of Romney's closest circle of aides, not one of the national Republican operatives who Romney must now bring into his circle as the presumptive nominee. With gender likely to factor in the selection calculus, Myers also gives a female face and voice to the most important single decision Romney will make in between now and Labor Day. – Alex Burns

The Senate voted to block a bill by Republican David Vitter of Louisiana which would have kept in place a plan from the Bush administration to allow oil and gas drilling along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Vitter's bill would have stopped the Obama administration from pursuing its own policy on offshore drilling.
The vote was 56-to-42. Last year, Republicans sought some momentum to advocate new offshore drilling with gasoline prices soaring.

The Mazon design engineers have focused their development talent to goalkeeper equipment that until the mid 1980s hadn't changed for many years.
With the developments in stick technology and hitting (as well as changes in short corner rules and accuracy of hitting), goalkeepers required far better protection, more flexibility and greater mobility plus increased comfort. An injured goalkeeper seriously impedes a team's performance
Australian goalkeeper Stephen Mowlam and many leading AHL keepers including Aaron McCarthy were instrumental in the testing program for Mazon and the introduction of new goalkeeper components.
This catapulted Mazon yet again as the premier hockey manufacturing company in stick and goalkeeping equipment through our Pro Force, Z-Force and Club ranges of men's, women's and junior goalkeeping equipment.
Pro Force gear has been extensively developed and tested in the field by Australian Goalkeepers Stephen Mowlam, Stephen Lambert and Nathan Burgers. Another first for Mazon was the realisation that men's and female's body shapes were different and that women required a more tailored fit offering further comfort and flexibility. To assist our development team we employed the world's No.1 women's keeper Australian International Rachel Imison. These new innovations will be announced soon.

Photos: March of the Zombies III fashion show at Bender's
Amid numerous calls for brains, the third annual March of the Zombies fashion show on Saturday night featured everything from live painters to tattoo artists to a zombie author -- "Anyone with an intrinsic interest in zombies," said show organizer Summer Jackson -- but the real highlight was the models, dolled up in attractive styles and truly hideous makeup to strut/lurch down the catwalk. Photographer Jonathan Shoup staggered down to Bender's to check it out, and he brings back these photos. See the full slide-show here.

ECE Mini Project on Alcohol Detector
This is a Electronics Mini project report on Alcohol Detector. The main aim of this embedded application is to detect the alcohol drunken people. It aims at designing and executing the vehicle controlling using RF. By using the RF communication, whenever alcohol is detected using the alcohol detector, the micro controller sends the information to the encoder and the encoder encodes the values and is received by the RF Transmitter. You can also Subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.
The programming language used for developing the software to the microcontroller is Embedded/Assembly. The KEIL cross compiler is used to edit, compile and debug this program. This project report contains block diagram, circuit diagram, microcontroller programming.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Vodka' category.
There are plenty of reasons to drink, but only two good ones:
1. To achieve that flush of heady, giddy, tingly optimism that comes quick on the heels of the day's first tipple. (All successive swigs are nothing but guileless attempts at holding onto this fleet feeling, although I still over-partake all the time.)
2. To imagine being in another time and place, preferably involving fedoras, topcoats, garters, nylons, evening gloves, watch fobs, spats, held doors, cigarette holders, cigarette cases and the right to make use of all this enchanting cigarette paraphernalia indoors. (I'm not anti-smoking bans; I'm just saying there's nothing romantic about going outside to smoke. Besides, I quit smoking, although I still over-partake all the time.)
I love (love, love, love) The Moscow Mule — vodka mixed with ginger beer and lime juice, on the rocks — for conjuring both of these moods so effortlessly.
I had no idea how I was going to wrap up Alexander Week. Any sort of liqueur-based Alexander seemed too obvious/easy, the thought of a Rum Alexander held no appeal (maybe if I used a sorbet instead of an ice cream/gelato? But still, meh) and a Vodka Alexander — well, I'd actually made one of those a few weeks ago, using an unflavored vodka and the exact-same recipe as I did for the gin Alexander (with the white creme de cacao and the mint chip gelato). It tasted OK, not at all bad, but from a mixology standpoint I was uninspired by it.
Then I remembered the espresso-infused vodka we'd made a while back, and then I thought about affogato.
January can put me in a certain mood, a dicey mix of contemplative and bored (for which booze is probably never a good chaser, but anyway). Since nothing happens in January, my mind's left to dwell on December's heedless indulgences and… well, let me start from the beginning.
When I originally made this cocktail for a friend's holiday party two years ago, it was the first time I'd written a recipe entirely in my head. In fact, I don't think I'd even tasted Absolut Kurant before I thought to put it in this drink. A chef I interviewed years prior told me he subscribed to a "that sounds great" philosophy of dish-inventing, that if your tongue relishes articulating "coriander encrusted mahi mahi" or "sweet potato fries dipped in banana-guava ketchup" then it'll probably enjoy eating those things, too. So, having just moved back to New York and with no money to spare on cocktail experimentin', my party drink came together hypothetically. I wanted it to taste like ice skating on a frozen pond. I pictured Charlie Brown's friends catching snowflakes on their tongues. ("It's fun!")
Reader(s), I'm going to try to be more honest in 2011. I'm going to try to be more diligent, too, particularly as it pertains to this blog, while simultaneously somehow figuring out a way to weigh less while drinking as many cocktails as ever.
My stated intent of The Five O'Clock Cocktail Blog is to publish a recipe each weekday, whether an original creation, a tweak of a classic drink or an homage to a drink I've drank elsewhere (probably at this bar, knowing me). This has already proven arduous and I might still scale back to twice or thrice weekly. (Thoughts? Please tell me in the comments what you'd like to see!) The part of my brain responsible for wild-footed fantasy stubbornly maintains that The New York Times' Dining section is more likely to profile me if I stick to the five-a-week conceit. (My blog-to-blockbuster deal with Nora Ephron will surely materialize soon after.)
So, regarding that honesty promise, here goes: I like this Cosmopolitan.
We made coffee espresso-infused* vodka this week. It was totes easy! We just took a cup of fresh, dark-roast beans and gently cracked them open by applying pressure with the bottom of a measuring cup. (See photo.) Then we dumped 'em into a fifth of vodka (something middle-shelf; I think we used Stoli or Ketel) and stored it in a cool, dry place for a few days. Voila!
We've suffered through fiasco infusions before. (Would you like to taste the most terrible homemade peach-flavored vodka ever? No, you would not.) This one's practically foolproof because, unlike a delicate peach, the robustness of the beans lets you know by smell whether or not your infusion's balanced, needs more time, etc. We knew we had something good after about a week, when the espresso aroma actually eclipsed the alcohol-y smell of the vodka. Next, of course, came the question of what cocktail to invent with it…

A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries, were carried on until quite recently, in urban settings, among like-minded people.
My name is Michelle Lynn Thompson, and I welcome you to Michelle's Salon – a gathering place for the exchange of ideas about what it means to create an exquisite lifestyle. There are several different conversations occurring in the salon: Self-Discovery, Fashion, Natural Hair, Creative Expression, Travel, and Peace and Balance. Thank you for joining me on my personal journey of creating my own individual, authentic, exquisite lifestyle. I look forward to engaging in these conversations with you.

Celebrity Cruises to Offer Unlimited Liquor, Beer Packages
(4:45 p.m. EST) -- Hate shilling out every time you sidle up to the bar?
Celebrity Cruises
has announced -- rather quietly, first to its past passengers via the Captain's Club newsletter, then via a few trade and consumer publications (we were tipped off by a travel agent) -- that it is introducing unlimited beer and liquor packages onboard its ships.
Outside of organized and corporate group functions, it's pretty rare to find an unlimited beer or alcohol option on mainstream cruises, though most lines do offer wine programs, bundled drinks packages -- say, six bottles of beer for the price of five -- and soda cards. Celebrity's packages are probably the closest alternative to an "open bar" outside of the luxury niche, with liquor packages starting from $51.50 per night ($76 for premium spirits) and beer packages from $34.50 per night. (Full details about these and other packages, including a bottled water offering, are available on the line's
Web site
Scott Steenrod, director of food and beverage operations for Celebrity, tells us the new packages are the result of feedback from guests and the success the line has already had with its fountain soda cards and Taste of the Vineyards wine packages, which have also been beefed up. "We knew that, number one, they were interested in packages," Steenrod says, "They like the opportunity to bundle things together ... [and] the added convenience of getting onboard with one less thing to worry about."
Convenient they are, but what about the cost? Let's look at the beer package as an example, which costs $34.50 per day (including the service charge); the package entitles you to unlimited consumption of a variety of domestic and imported brews (one drink per package holder, per order), which are ordinarily priced from $4.50 to $6.50 each based on a recent
bar menu. Once you factor in a service charge on the a la carte prices, you'd need to drink between five and seven beers a day to get your money's worth -- which raises the question: Will this encourage risky binging?
Cruise Critic member
posts on the
Celebrity Cruises forum
, "I need a good drink after seeing the prices ... I do not think my kidneys or bladder would survive the amount of liquids I would need to consume to justify those prices." On the other hand,
writes, "I like the choices of imports and microbrews and figure one of them would cost about $6 each. That's approx 50 beers for 9 days, or 5 to 6 beers per day. That might work for a guy like meself, especially on the sea days."
Steenrod says that the package prices were set based on passenger data -- what folks are drinking and how much they are spending on it, on average. "When we started doing this, we had to be very measured ... and set the pricing in a way that provides us with flexibility," Steenrod says, acknowledging that the daily beer charge, for example, covers more Budweisers than it would a more up-market brew, like Stella Artois. "We're learning as we go. As we see what the feedback is, and what they're purchasing, we can continue to improve." The bottom line: Celebrity is testing the waters with a price point that will accommodate a range of products and people, and will adjust the program -- and costs -- accordingly.
The packages will be rolled out within the next two weeks on all ships except for
Celebrity Xpedition
(also, Solstice-class ships do not feature the Taste of the Vineyards wine packages, as they have their own unique wine program).
Would you pay for an unlimited drinks package if it were offered on your cruise? Do they offer added convenience -- or encourage too much spending (and drinking)?

The LINK Online Archive
Welcome to The LINK Online Archive. Designed for youth workers, pastors and parents of the denomination, The LINK is the official semi-annual newsletter of the EPC's Student Ministries division. Each issue addresses issues facing middle and high school students and those who love them and minister to them. Feel free to read any issues of The LINK online-and don't hesitate to print out your own hardcopy version to share with others in your church.
