Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Review
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class ranks 9 out of 13 Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is ranked:
- #9 in Luxury Sports Cars
- #11 in Luxury Convertibles
Automotive critics say that the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is incredibly fast, powerful and generally fun and comfortable to drive, but isn't as engaging or nimble as other luxury sports cars.
The Mercedes-Benz SL550 has a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that reviewers think delivers robust acceleration. The standard seven-speed automatic transmission is praised for its seamless shift quality. The 2014 SL550 returns an EPA-estimated 18/25 mpg city/highway, which is on par for the class. There are two AMG variants, the SL63 AMG and SL65 AMG, which have a twin-turbo V8 and twin-turbo V12, respectively, and reviewers say that both models are incredibly swift. Test drivers write that the SL-Class isn't as nimble or engaging to drive as rivals like the Porsche 911, but say it still has composed, buttoned-down handling and a pleasant ride quality.
Test drivers write that the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has a beautiful cabin fitted with luxurious materials and eye-catching trim. They say its two seats are comfortable and supportive and that there is ample headroom when the top is up. Reviewers like the transparent roof panel, saying that it gives the cabin an airy, welcoming feel, as well as the available Magic Sky Control feature, which allows the driver to adjust the transparency of the roof panel to let in more or less sunlight. The SL-Class offers good trunk space for the class. Test drivers note that the standard COMAND infotainment system that controls most stereo and navigation functions is generally simple and straightforward. Reviewers also like the standard Airscarf system that blows warm air onto the occupants' neck, which they say makes the SL-Class comfortable to drive with the top down on cooler days. Standard features include a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12-spaker Harman Kardon stereo system, navigation, Bluetooth and a USB port. Adaptive cruise control and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system are optional.
- "Though it still can't touch the Porsche 911's benchmark levels of feel and performance, the 2014 SL-Class stays true to Mercedes-Benz's traditional levels of comfort and luxury while offering surprisingly satisfying levels of thrust, grip and maneuverability." -- AutoTrader
- "Though its styling may be an acquired taste, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class roadster provides a beautifully executed blend of luxury, technology and performance." -- Edmunds
- "Convertible editions of the Jaguar XK, Porsche 911 and BMW 6 Series offer varying degrees of performance, panache and luxury in the SL's 6-figure territory, but few can match this Mercedes' level of prestige. And thanks to its well-insulated retracting hardtop, twin-turbocharged V8 and abundance of innovative features, the 2014 SL-Class remains a sublime grand touring car." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "That the Mercedes-Benz SL continues to combine, in one model, the performance of a supercar with all the attributes of a luxury car is an extraordinary achievement." -- Automobile Magazine (2013)
Other Cars to Consider
The Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet is considered by reviewers to be one of the best-handling cars in the segment. Test drivers say that the 911 is very enjoyable to drive, and is also available with all-wheel drive.
The convertible Audi R8 Spyder delivers smooth, yet rapid, acceleration, according to critics, and they say that the R8's comfortable ride makes it easy to drive on a daily basis. They add that its interior is finely crafted and its seats are very comfortable.

Details: 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has rear-wheel drive and is available in three trims. The SL550 has a twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 and seven-speed automatic transmission. The SL63 AMG has a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 and seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission. The SL65 AMG has a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 and seven-speed automatic transmission. The SL-Class was redesigned for the 2013 model year and sees no changes for 2014. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2013 and 2014 model years.

A couple of weeks ago, we launched our Creative Features Report which looks at how much creative people value training.
One of the key stats from the report was that 53 per cent of creative professionals would be prepared to take a £5k pay cut if it led to greater career opportunities. This sparked a lot of debate amongst our Twitter followers and it seems that many of you have sacrificed money in search of a better career or training. For example, @I_AM_DAVE_COX told us he took a £6k pay drop to get his job, making the move from Birmingham to London.
@The_Boy_Parker tweeted 'If your job doesn't make you happy, then it's worth the drop in pay for the peace of mind you're not wasting your life.'
Good training is important to people at every level from grads to seasoned pros. Our research shows many of you (69 per cent in fact) would self-fund your own training if you thought it would benefit your career. @JamJarAnimation explained that whilst it could mean a short term cut, it could lead to better things in the future.
For the creative industry in particular, many entry roles involve low level administrative and logistic tasks, so people are keen to get ahead into more challenging and skill-based roles as fast as they can. Thanks to better technology, you can train around your own work or personal commitments and have access to the same tools as those studying full time.
Do you think it's easier to train today thanks to the Internet and social networking platforms? What else is important to you when it comes to training?

by John Pollard Pioneer built their UD-SW100T subwoofer enclosure so you can get great bass in a truck where there's not a lot of space. This rugged enclosure comes in at 3-3/8" deep, so it'll fit behind most truck seats. Built with 5/8" medium-density fiberboard and covered in durable black carpet, this enclosure provides .35 cubic feet of air space for a single 10" shallow subwoofer. Pioneer recommends installing the TS-SW2501S4 subwoofer in this enclosure. Pioneer builds this sturdy enclosure to deliver tight, accurate bass. Install a compatible sub, power up with a suitable amplifier, and you'll be ready to rock.

An enclosure is simply the box that houses your sub; sealed and ported enclosures are the most popular types. A sealed enclosure is usually smaller in size, sacrificing a little volume level to deliver more accurate bass. The ported enclosure features a vent which allows bass waves to escape from behind the mounted sub, augmenting the bass coming off the front of the sub. Ported boxes are louder, bigger, and a little less accurate. Every sub works best in the size and type of enclosure that's recommended by the manufacturer, so make sure you match your sub with the right box.

Decapoda From Germany |
This page contains photos of fossil Decapods collected from the Solnhofen limestones in south-central Germany. These images were taken in August 1998 while on a field trip with the International Association of Astacology to two German Museums after the 12th International IAA Symposium. Additional images may be added at a later date, but due to time constraints it may be a while. These images need to be captured from video tape, so it takes time. :-) Please Note: There are many images on this page so it may take a ............ while ............ to .......... Load. |
List of Museum Species
Solnhofen Limestone Fossil Information Fossils have been known from the Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone (ca. 150M years old) since 1730. More that 600 species have already been found, among them Archaeopteryx, a connecting link between reptiles and birds. The Solnhofen Limestone is particularly famous for the detailed preservation of smaller invertebrates and for fossil tracks of marine animals (along with the animals themselves). The fossils are exhibited in four museums, two in Solnhofen and two in Eichstätt. The fossils presented on this page are from the two museums found in Eichstätt (Museum Bergér and Museum Willibaldsburg). More information can be found on the Solnhofen Limestone by clicking here. Other fossils can also be seen here. The family Astacidae
appeared in Middle Europe only in the early Cretaceous. But
other Astacidea, particularly members of the extinct family
Erymidae (Eryma, Erymastacus, Enoploclytia, and Palaeastacus)
are quite frequently found in Solnhofen and Eichstatt. Pseudastacus
is another representative of the Astacidea from the family

In the first clip from an October Warriors game, we see Shannon Brown as the lead guard. He cuts across the floor towards the opposite wing (this action is known as "a crossgrain," usually used to quickly break pressure):
Here is where the single double setup begins. Brown enters the ball into Matt Barnes in the wing:
Brown begins a cut into the lane. Usually this would result in a solo, but Barnes immediately passes to Blake up top.
Barnes then moves down to set a double screen, Ebanks moves down to set a single screen, and Brown readies himself to choose between the single or double screen:
Brown chooses the double and fires the catch and shoot jumper.
Next we will discuss some of the options for the number two pass to the top.
In this clip from last Friday's Nuggets game, we see Shannon Brown make a dribble entry into the wing forming a triangle between himself, Luke Walton and Andrew Bynum. Brown makes the two pass to the top keying: Blake to the pinch post and Brown to run a rebound screen cut.
From here there are multiple options that can occur:
1. Odom could enter the ball into the pinch post (which he chooses to do in this clip)
2. Odom could dribble weave back to Walton coming off Brown's rebound screen cut
3. Odom can run a high pick and roll with the pinch post man.
4. The weakside wing could also stay deep in the post, rather than come out to the pinch post. Andrew Bynum will often do this.
After entering the ball into the pinch post, the pinch post man also has multiple options:
- Blake could make the give and go shuffle pass back to Odom. From there those two could choose to run a pick and roll.
- Blake can make the dribble weave pass himself to Walton
After setting up the rebound screen cut, Shannon Brown also has some options:
- If he has a direct line to the basket, he can cut to the basket
- In this case, his defender (JR Smith) is cutting off the path to the basket, so Brown fades back. The nomenclature for this action is called a "stepback" (not to be confused with the one on one dribble move known as a stepback, the triangle's "stepback" is the spot up jumper that results from the execution of the rebound screen cut).
So both Odom at defensive balance and Blake coming from the pinch post have additional options from the rebound screen cut man to consider.
In the first half of last Friday's game against the Nuggets, the Lakers were fully committed to running the triangle. Now that we are familiar with the single double and the rebound screen cut options, let's take an indepth look at the free flowing nature of the triangle offense.

Geeking out over Cider with Paul
Do craft beer geeks drink cider? Is there room for another geeky alcoholic beverage in this booming market? Paul Vander Heide thinks so. So does Tenth and Blake. Paul and a few other cider makers (Original Sin, Fox Barrel and Crispin) got together to offer their flagship ciders and a few experimentals to a packed crowd at Fountainhead a few weeks ago. Since then I've seen Paul's Vander Mill ciders showing up on craft beer menus all over town and he's slated to do more tappings in Chicago.
There's definitely something happening here. But is it a rising-tide-raises-all-ships scenario or is there something deeper? "I think [the craft beer boon] has encouraged people to expand their willingness to try new products. In the end that really is a benefit to us all" says Paul. But cider has its own audiences too. Upon entering Fountainhead, Cleetus from City Provisions latched on to my arm and said "these cider guys are crazy geeky!" One sip in to Vander Mill's Totally Roasted and I was convinced — 4lbs of homemade cinnamon roasted pecans in a 30 gallon batch, and a little vainilla to mellow it out, this cider had all the complexity of a Belgian with the sessionabiltiy of a summery white wine.
In other cidery news from that day, it was announced that Tenth and Blake acquired the popular Crispin cider company. While most cider geeks I talked to don't consider Crispin a true craft cider (even questioning why they were there at all) they certainly have been driving a lot of volume in a niche space. Ciders from bigger brands like Crispin and Magners are typically made from a concentrate, or even worse, fermented glucose water, and then have the flavor added back in with juice. But craft ciders like Vander Mill and Original sin are made from a real presses cider and real fruits like pear, cherries and of course apples.

Brigitte Gabriel, President of ACT for America, will speak in St. Augustine on September 10 about the threat of radical Islam in America and against America's schools. In Florida, a study by Citizens for National Security show that there are 25 textbooks in the State of Florida containing pro-Islam, anti-Christian, anti-Israel bias. The Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is speaking in schools in Tampa and other Florida locations. CAIR is the American face of HAMAS, a recognized terrorist organization. Admiral James Lyons, retired Commander the of United States Pacific Fleet, Lt. General William Boykin, retired, Department of Defense Director of Intelligence and James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence , have also specifically warned against the threat of Islamic subversion and penetration of organizations like CAIR. Ms. Gabriel has experienced Radical Islamic Jihad first hand in her native Lebanon, and she provides clear proof that it is happening here.
Crescent Beach Baptist Church 885 State Road 206 E St. Augustine, FL 32086Monday, September 10th at 7 PM. |
The events over the past eighteen months have been a sobering wake-up call to America. Without question, the threats radical Islam poses to America have increased.
Brigitte will discuss these threats to our security and our freedoms, such as…
The attached link allows Report Card readers to preview a segment of Ms. Gabriel.
But even more important than this, Brigitte will spell out the strategies and tactics ACT! for America is employing to effectively fight back against these threats.
You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam…how we are winning legislative victories…how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us…and how we will prevail.
Admiral William Lyons, retired Commander of America's Pacific Fleet, wrote this expert that appeared in the Washington Times last month about the threat of radical Islam in America:
"Concerns raised by Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and four of her colleagues on the proper vetting of Huma Abedin, the deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, provoke larger questions about Muslim Brotherhood penetration and influence in our government agencies, particularly the Department of Defense (DOD). Recently, we witnessed Pentagon Islamic adviser Louay Safi's reappearance as the political head of the Syrian National Council, a Muslim Brotherhood-dominated group. Among his many other activities, he is also the director of leadership development for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which is the largest Muslim Brotherhood group in the United States.
The president of ISNA, Imam Mohamed Magid serves as a member of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Countering Violent Extremism Working Group. He is a close adviser to the National Security Council as well as to President Obama. He continues to have access to not only the State and Treasury departments but has been used frequently by DOD to formulate responses to incidents that Islamists consider offensive. How comforting. Let's not forget that the ISNA is an unindicated co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial in 2008 for providing funding to the terrorist group Hamas.
An open question is what role Imam Magid played in influencing DHS to cancel a conference on homegrown radical extremism at CIA headquarters in August 2011. We know that the Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) demanded that the training conference featuring a presentation by Stephen Coughlin, among others, be canceled. It should be recalled that CAIR is also an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial. CAIR was also successful in getting West Point's chaplain to cancel a prayer breakfast in early February by Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin, a West Point graduate and former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, because of his views on Islam. So much for the First Amendment.
Mr. Safi has cast a wide net in DOD. He was also responsible for teaching Islam to U.S. Army military personnel at various bases, including Fort Hood, so that they would be more sensitive to Islamic customs and traditions. This sensitivity training is all done under the guise of our counter-insurgency (COIN) strategy to win the hearts and minds of Muslims first in Iraq and now in Afghanistan.
On Oct. 19, 2011, a letter signed by an array of Muslim groups, including CAIR and ISNA, both Muslim Brotherhood organizations, was sent to Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan complaining about the government's use of biased, false and highly offensive training materials about Muslims and Islam. Much of the material utilized by U.S. trainers that the groups complained about was extracted from the Koran and Shariah law.

It's given me a hell of a lot of talk time. It's been surprisingly durable, surviving drops, splashes, extreme Arizona heat and daily exposure to a 2 year old. I get a MINIMUM of 5 hours talk time, but typically I get 7 hours of talk time on one charge-I swear by it. It holds 130 text messages, has a good external display and the speaker phone has been quite good. Signal strength is as expected. Backlight timer is changeable, has a great call log and call timer.
It doesn't hold many pictures, about 10 or 12. The MMS is slow and unreliable. Internet use is terribly slow and ends up costing you an arm and a leg because of that. Accessories (car chargers, headsets, external antenna, data cables/software) are hard to find...ones that actually work anyways. There aren't customizable shortcuts or buttons. I've had mine freeze up, shut off and re-boot on me without cause especially while using text messaging or Yahoo Messenger. Cingular says it's a phone issue and they've sent me out replacements-four times. Thing about that is each of the four replacements had something wrong with them. First one did the same thing. Second one had a broken LCD, third one sucked the battery down; I only got 2 hours from it and it was on standby the whole time. And number four could not hold onto a signal for anything. So I stuck with my original one and it's still kicking. Somehow.
Overall I've been happy with it-like I said it's been beat to hell and still works, so that has to count for something. I'm going to switch now though. Probably to a Sony W300i, Motorola V3i or Motorola V635. I now need a Quad Band phone. If there's better Quad Bands out there with good speaker phones, let me know!

Great Little Phone!
I've had my phone for about a month and a half and I love it! It's not perfect but it's close. Nice unexpensive phone for someone who just wants the basics!
Great Reception!
Has Camera; pictures turn out nice-I've sent a couple to my email
Nice outside caller ID; in color!
Nice and loud when it rings
User friendly menu
Nice light wieght design; fits anywhere
Speakerphone comes in handy while driving
When the phone is closed and you accidently hit the volume buttons, it doesn't mute the phone like the new samsung x497 does; it only shows the date
Has plenty of nice accessories for it
Downloaded ringtones sound pretty good
I love the voice-activated dialing!
The alarm clock can only hold one alarm at a time; no big deal though
The ringtones it comes with are not worth listening to-sounds like they belong in a music box...but I like to download my own anyway
I don't really have any complaints, I love the phone-it's simple and it's exactly what I wanted

LG an't for me
I am a consumer who strongly believes in the old saying, "you get what you pay for". I feel if you are looking for a cell phone that will stand the test of time LG is not the way to go. I understand that a lot of people see this phone as a good priced camera/flip phone, but it really is a camera/flip paper-weight.
The volume on this phone is so quiet. I found my self pushing the phone so tight on my ear it hurt and still could not hear. On that same note, it is hard to feel the phone when it vibrates on silent mode.
I will give LG some credit. They did not do to bad on the camera. All though it would be better with a flash. LG also made this phone look pleasant to the eyes, unlike some of there more early models.
Weather you want this phone or not. Heck not just this phone but anything really. Remember this "you get what you pay for". Buy what you want you are going to have what ever you chose for 2 years.

I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now. I'll start out with the pro's.
-EXCELENT battery life.
-crystal clear SPEAKERPHONE, other people hear you just as clear as well. Great for use while driving.
-takes AWSOME pictures. your able to change the size of the picture. at the highest setting which is 640x480, pictures are very impressive. I've emailed them to myself and printed them out.
-nice loud RINGER, and able to download ringtones.
-able to use the internet, instant messenger, email, etc.
-nice and clear outer display.
-GREAT reception just about ANYWHERE. i've used it in the staircase, and the elevator at my apartment building.
-nice small, and very lightweight design.
The list goes on, it is overall a GREAT phone.
so here's just a few cons.
-no photo id on the outer display. just some clouds, but the clear numbers and symbols are just as important to me.
-can only assign ringtones to groups, not individual contacts. not that big of a deal to me either.
-no infared or bluetooth. not like i really need that anyway.
-no flash. just a tiny mirror to see yourself, does not use the outer display as a video monitor. but still able to take good pictures of myself using the mirror.
-doesn't come with a holster. i'm having trouble finding accesories for this phone, maybe because its so new.
Other than that this phone deserves a good rating. Its well worth the money, and its VERY affordable. [...]

Moto lover crossing over!!!
I have always had Motorolas and was afraid to switch brands. Luckily, I have been pleasantly surprised by this li'l cutie!
I had the moto v551, which I loved and my husband had, too and he hated it. So far we both love this phone. If you are crossing over from Moto, one thing I noticed that is different (not worse or better, just different) and is taking time to get used to is the way it feels when I talk into the phone. It feels like my voice isn't going through the phone, but it is. Just takes a little getting used to. And, by the way, I read that this phone doesn't have a "back" key. For the first 3 days I used it, it was very annoying to have to exit the menu totally and start over. BUT, I "accidentally" found the "back" key! It is the "C" key inbetween the green and red phone keys!!
Also, I migrated over to the "Orange" side and the first few text messages I sent didn't go through. I later found out that with Cingular you HAVE to dial area code for text mess. even to local #s!!
Battery life is about the same, 2-3 days between charges. I don't really have any bad things to say about it. The phone has really made me an LG fan. Hope you have good luck with it, too!

amazing entry level camera phone
i got this phone to replace my samsung x427m which was amazing for about 5 months until it started fading out. the lg c2000 is an amazing phone for people who want functionality without the high price. it is simple to use and i am just in love with it.

Great phone
I got this phone 2 weeks ago and im loving it. it is my first phone and im very happy with it.
the menu is easy to use. good handle to the phone meaning its not to small and not to big. love the T9 setting for text messages. reception is great everywhere, even sometimes in the subway.
the camera is ok. nothing to great, but i didnt buy this phone for the accessories so its just a bonus for me. the outside screen has a permanent pic of the sky but that doesnt bother me cuz i dont look at it all day.
the bad thing is that the memory for the camera is low. u can only take 3-4 high quality shots. not a lot of space for the voice recording option either. i got 3 full audio clips of 30 sec each. comes with 1 game, and not a lot of good ringtones. since there is no cable for this phone yet, u have to d/l all the stuff from your provider which is a downside

Pretty Good Phone
First off, I just want to say that I think it is hilarious that the first few people who reviewed this phone, didn't actually even have the phone. And all of the pros and cons they listed, are things that anyone can find out about if they look at the phone specs. It's like they just listed the phone features. So let me tell you what I think of this phone, being an actual owner, and using it for a couple of weeks.
It's a relatively small flip phone, but not too small that you can't hold it when talking.
I like the dark silver/light silver coolor of the phone itself. Its a good looking phone.
The speaker phone is excellent qaulity. You really can hear it very well when driving, even in heavy city traffic, and the other person can hear you clearly also. That is one of the strongest features of this phone.
The menus are very clear and easy to navigate.
It has external volume buttons which I love for muting the ringer, and it has an external camera button for quick pictures.
The ringer choices are not very good. There are probably 20 to choose from, but 2/3rds of those are crappy midi ringers.
The camera quality sucks. I think it's terrible.
There is also a camera button on the inside of the phone. This seems like a waste to me. They should have used this button for something else, instead of having two of the same buttons on the phone.
The phone seems a little quiet and hard to hear the other person at times.
The worst thing of all, the flip part of the phone seems a little cheap. I've had mine for two weeks and the flip part moves around just slightly.
All together, I think it is just above an average phone. Nothing extraordinary, and a little pricy for the basic features you get, which have been on every phone for the last two years. Personally, tomorrow I'm looking at trading this back in for a Nokia 6102 and see how they compare.

text: I receive The Miami Herald,no I don't read it on line I actually pick it up from my driveway every morning.I request that it be double bagged since A soggy newspaper is not my favorite way to start the day. Now you would think that this would be a simple request........wrong. The Miami Herald cannot handle this. It comes double bagged for about 3 days then we're back to the single bag. This morning I made my request once again. The person on the phone said" ok I'll ask for it to be double bagged when it's raining". "No" I said "not when it's raining, every day" I explained that if the paper is delivered at 5am there is a distinct possibility that it could be raining at 9am when I pick it up, unless of course the delivery person had some super powers regarding the future of the weather. To which the person on the phone replied "don't use that Language with me" a true non sequitur! And this folks is why when you read our hometown paper you will notice they have run out of proof readers and you have to be Sherlock Holmes to know what the hell the're talking about.I would stick to the New York Times but after all I do live in Miami.

If you find yourself in Chicago and have the opportunity to experience Delilah's first hand I highly recommend it. With a selection of over 600 whiskeys and some of their own blends there is something for everything. To celebrate this Chicago whiskey mainstay, the 20th Anniversary blend is the representation of the spirit of Delilah's in liquid form. If you can't make it out to Chicago then grab a bottle while you can and any chaser that fits your taste (perhaps a High Life or Point Pale Ale for an authentic Delilah's experience). Though this smooth Whiskey (with a bourbon kick) is also just fine for a glass neat or on the rocks. This is one limited release not to miss.

So I'm playing a game on TT, it's been a while since I played a match so I'm excited for the game, it should be a good one. So we load up and I have wukong and fiora on my team. Fiora feeds the Riven top a couple of kills then says she's hungry and DCs. I go 4-1 bot lane and wukong dies a couple more times up top. At this point, we're rather done for, but I enjoy a challenge so I keep playing. It hits 15 minutes and my Wukong teammate tries to FF.. I figure lets go for it and try to win. He caps lock yells in /all chat about how stupid I am and how he is going to report me. THen proceeds to walk to red buff every time he spawns to feed them. They take both inhibs and push the final turret and I'm able to get an ace. He convinces the enemy team how annoying and stubborn I am, and all four agree to report me. He goes and feeds them about 5 times while they farm jungle, then charge in with their items and wallah, that's the game. ------ Load up another game thinking it couldn't get worse, right? Two terrible trolling games in a row? Nah. Load up and get two guys that seem pretty chill in pre-game chat. They both have skins, sweet! Holy ****, even worse. Varus goes 2-9 and disconnects b/c the game is boring and I won't forfeit. Shen goes 0-8 and keeps telling me how worthless I am and how he's going to report me. I just officially quit solo queue. Forever. And ever. ): Anyone up for queuing with me? (:
Welcome to matchmaking.
I'm not terribly good, but im no troll either. if it's normals i'll queue up with you, as i'm not level 30 and can't get into ranked yet :|
There are just people like that in league. They are pretty stupid, but eventually you'll learn reporting really doesn't do much at all. But hey, we've all had those games.
Oh God Im Based
surrender at 15 plz
Knee co
i agree with op but hey atleast RotT seems better

Seeing the Number 22 or 222 Everywhere
Ok, onto this post about the number 22. Although this video below mainly shows the numbers 11:11(Update: Youtube took that video off for some reason? So I put this new one up). It talks about the same frequent ways in which I see the numbers 22, 222, 22:22 everywhere for eg: on clocks 8:22, 11:22, 9:22. Certain emails will continually arrive at 22 mins past something. License plates, see this a lot. While out walking just happen to glance over at a house that has the number 22 (walk many different ways and areas and still see it). Walking past a TV set and a football player wearing number 22 will just happen to be on screen, just at that very moment. The list goes on…Way too often, ridiculously way too often…. to be a coincidence
Link to myspace blog post about 22
And another post on this site about 22
Another blog 222mystery.com
Another blog I See Numbers.com
Also if anybody else out there is seeing this too? Then this book might help you? I found it very helpful . The section about repeatedly seeing number patterns is in the last few pages of this book. The book is called "Healing With The Angels" by Doreen Virtue. It is a beautiful, excellent book! – Helpful Tip: When the page opens up, click the left arrow on the side of the book cover, that way you'll see the back cover first and read the overview about seeing numbers)
Do you see number sequences also? Please leave me a comment and tell me your story I really hope this helps to answer your seeking too. We all gotta help each other.
Video credit to DonBernard7 on youtube. Thanks Don!
(some 222 seeing people make music too – such as me)
Update – Recently finished the Rock album "Wildfire". This is the preview promo, enjoy! 222 friends
Good news! Here is the NEW RDR front album cover. Music is almost done, be releasing it very soon (will it be released on the 22nd?? lol). It will be available on iTunes.
