Given my, um, state of mind, the cover alone was enough to keep me occupied for the duration of that lysergic sunny Sunday afternoon, with the good Captain waving howdy to all, donning a green-felt sport coat, a bluish scarf, a crazy hat topped with what might be a badminton shuttlecock, and, naturally, a trout mask. On the back was a photo of Beefheart (sans mask, and with sunglasses and a Dickensian top hat) and his Magic Band, standing in the woods, wearing deadpan expressions and clothes that couldn't possibly have come from this planet. The same could be said for the music captured on those four sides of well-worn wax. It clomped and sputtered, wheezed and whistled, with saxophones shrieking to the heavens and guitars doing things that were both frightening and funny. The voice -- Beefheart's eight-octave voice -- was similarly terrifying and hilarious, a growl that instantly conjured a Howlin' Wolf who was tripping just like me, and spouting words that made Naked Lunch seem as reasonable and easy to grasp as a beginner's cookbook. We played the album twice, all the way through, laughing hysterically as Beefheart recited a twisted ode to a woman named Big Joan (so big that, as he points out, "her hands are too small," and that she was "too big to go out in the daylight," so she just "rolls around"), offered his best Mark Twain-as-Dadaist-naturalist on "The Dust Blows Forward and the Dust Blows Back," while the Magic Band whooped up a racket that blistered my brain in ways that the chemicals up there could never have managed. That day I was in love with all the usual stuff you suddenly notice when you're looped on the funny paper: the very existence of sunlight, the grain of a hardwood floor, the patterns of the wallpaper in the bathroom, the texture of a towel, the feel of cold beer flowing down a throat hoarse from laughter. Mostly, though, I was in love with Captain Beefheart.
And that's how it is with the music of Don Van Vliet, a.k.a. Captain Beefheart: You either love it intensely, or you hate it with equal fervor. Since that Eighties afternoon, I've yet to meet a soul who was only marginally interested in his vast body of work, which stretches back to the mid-Sixties and ended with his desert-retreating retirement in 1983. My ex-wife once deemed it "the worst bunch of garbage I've ever heard," and some friends of mine with definitely eccentric tastes in music and penchants for mind-enhancing recreational substances have confessed to being unable to make it all the way through a Beefheart album.
I can't imagine, then, any of them wading through Grow Fins: Rarities 1965-1982, a five-disc box set of previously unreleased material issued by John Fahey's Revenant label. Lavishly packaged, exhaustive in its liner-notes presentation of the winding Captain Beefheart saga (chronicled oral-history style by Magic Band drummer John French), and musically sprawling and far-reaching just like you'd expect from such a collection, Grow Fins is something close to a total triumph. Containing an assortment of outtakes, live cuts, rehearsals, and airchecks, it both complements and sheds new light on the Captain's twelve-album legacy. Spend enough time with it, and you'll be transported to a place where, as the Firesign Theatre once put it, everything you know is wrong: where anticipated chord changes never happen; where sounds fly out of nowhere, descending like atom bombs from some places, and daintily drifting down from others, creating a quiet, but equally devastating, type of destruction; where accepted ideas of rhythm are demolished, rebuilt, then torn down again; and where the English language is rewritten, retooled to lend sonic illustration to a vision that was as much a part of the harrowing Delta blues of Skip James and Robert Johnson as it was the avant-garde jazz innovations of Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, and Roscoe Mitchell. You recognize the words, and fragments of the sounds, but the placement is skewed, the usage utterly unique and not a little bit nuts -- like the artistry of a brilliant poet, or the babble of a brilliant streetperson. Or, as the famous quote from Trout Mask goes, "fast and bulbous."

The Google Nexus S smartphone is all official with its Gingerbread-fueled sweetness, but there is at least one element missing from its otherwise intelligent frame: expandable memory. Much like the iPhone, the Google Nexus S lacks in the microSD slot department.
By and large, early reviews of the device have been overwhelmingly positive. People like the contour display. People enjoy the vanilla build of Android loaded on the phone, unfettered with custom UIs and brand-specific skins. The Hummingbird processor sings and the svelte lines make for a nice look too. But it can't take microSD cards.
Granted that the phone already has 16GB of internal memory, which should be more than enough to handle your various apps and documents, but a microSD expansion slot has become pretty much a standard feature on all Android phones. Not everyone will use them, but the expandable memory can be huge for those who do. What if you want to load up your phone with some music and videos? You'll run out of space pretty quickly with just 16GB in tow.
For me, it's not really a deal breaker, but it is a noteworthy blow. Why would they take out the memory card slot when it's already there in all the Galaxy S phones from Samsung?
[Mobile Crunch]
"What was *Samsung* thinking . . ." there I corrected that for you. =P
agree lack of micro sd slot is a big mistake
should be ( Phone – SD = Fail)
your picture does not make any sense, you should fix it.
I failed math.. Should be fixed now thanks
what was google thinking…..

Service-Learning Featured
An Early Child student is read to by a Lower Elementary student.
"If salvation and help are to come, it is from the child, for the child is the constructor of man and so of society. The child is endowed with an inner power which can guide us to a more enlightened future."
– Maria Montessori
Service-Learning is built into a Montessori Education's curriculum starting at the toddler age through adolescence. As per the National Service-Learning Partnership, Service-Learning is defined as a teaching method that engages young people in solving problems within their schools and communities as part of their academic studies or other type of intentional learning activity.
Montessori Community School starts this education with a simple question, "How may I help?" This simple question plants a seed within children early on in the toddler years. There, it is nurtured, and cultivated. As the years go by, this seed continues to grow. Soon a sensitivity of self-awareness and self-reflection emerge. Not only do students begin to recognize and develop their personal talents, abilities, and interests but they are also able use them to meet the needs of others.
This academic understanding takes deeper root through our literature and writing curriculum, class meetings, informal and formal class discussions, and day-to-day interactions. Concepts such as empathy begin to intertwine and connect with not just, "How may I help?" but, "How do I recognize when another person's fundamental needs are not being met, and how may I be of service?"
Montessori Service-Learning Education fosters respect for others, inspires children to build positive relationships and make contributions to the local community, and to the world. Emphasis is placed on taking care of the environment, self, and others.
Busy Times at MCS Featured
This week, MCS has been celebrating our teachers through Teacher Appreciation Week. Truly, we can not express enough gratitude and thanks for our teachers here at MCS.

How our teachers can keep the energy up, continue to plan such wonderful, educational activities, and coordinate so many beautiful ceremonies is a wonder.
To our fabulous teachers, we say, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
MCS Enjoys the Warming Weather! Featured
"It is also necessary for his physical development to place the soul of the child in contact with creation, in order that he may lay up for himself treasure from the directly educating forces of living nature."
With the weather improving, what could be better than moving some daily learning into the outdoors? Maria Montessori was a real advocate for the learning experiences that take place outdoors. She emphasized the outdoor environment being an extension of the classroom. Our teachers are so fabulous at encouraging and helping our students to enjoy explore, learn, and love the outdoors.
"I do not believe there is a method better than Montessori for making children sensitive to the beauties of the world and awakening their curiosity regarding the secrets of life."

Montessori Community School is in full bloom as we move into our last month this 2013 - 2014 school year. The end of a school year can be stressful time. The weather is warmer, summer break is in sight, and both students and teachers are reflecting on the work accomplished, materials learned, and planning for the summer and the next school year.
We are so proud of our students, teachers, and families for the dedication, involvement, and passion thus far demonstrated within our school community. We are so grateful to have such a great environment in which to educate, grow, and explore with each other.
This year, we have watched our students blossom. As we make this last push through the remainder of the school year, we hope there will be time for reflection and appreciation toward our incredible student body.

Knicks, Nets, Nuggets and Clippers take openers
UNDATED (AP) — The New York Knicks have opened the NBA playoffs with a stifling defensive performance against the Boston Celtics.
The Knicks allowed just 25 points in the second half, eight coming in the fourth quarter of an 85-78 win over the Celtics. New York trailed by three heading into the final period before limiting the Celts to three baskets the rest of the way.
Carmelo Anthony had just as many fourth-quarter points as Boston and finished with 36. J.R. Smith added 15 points for the Knicks, who turned 21 Celtics turnovers into 20 points.
Brooklyn had no trouble winning Game 1 of its playoff series, ripping the Chicago Bulls 106-89. Deron Williams delivered 22 and seven assists for the Nets, who led by 25 at halftime. Brook Lopez finished with 21 points in the first major league postseason game in Brooklyn since Game 7 of the 1956 World Series.
Andre Miller allowed Denver to take its playoff opener against visiting Golden State. Miller capped his playoff career-high 28 points by draining a layup with 1.3 seconds left to give the Nuggets a 97-95 win over the Warriors. Wilson Chandler added 11 points and 13 rebounds to the victory.
Yesterday's last series opener had the Los Angeles Clippers downing Memphis 112-91. Chris Paul led seven Clippers in double-figures with 23 points while dishing out seven assists. Caron Butler chipped in 13 points and seven rebounds for the Clippers, who outscored the Grizzlies 37-22 in the fourth quarter to turn it into a rout.
Red Sox continue strong start...Yanks prevail in 11 innings
UNDATED (AP) — After honoring the victims and the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Red Sox kept on with their best start in 11 years by beating the Kansas City Royals 4-3. The Royals held a 2-1 lead until Daniel Nava (NAH'-vah) smacked a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth, allowing the Red Sox to improve to 12-4.
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz went 2-for-4 in his first game since last summer. He injured his Achilles last July 17th and appeared in only one big league game before today.
The Red Sox wore white home jerseys with "Boston" on the front instead of the customary "Red Sox." The shirts will be auctioned off for a fund to support victims of the bombing.
And Neil Diamond was on hand to sing "Sweet Caroline," which has been a Fenway Park favorite since 2002.
In other baseball action:
— Derek Lowe pitched four hitless innings in relief of injured starter Nick Tepesch as Texas beat Seattle 5-0. Lowe came out of the bullpen in the second inning after Tepesch was hit just above the right wrist by a line drive, causing a bruise.
— Jason Giambi (jee-AHM'-bee) homered and collected five RBIs as Cleveland hammered Houston 19-6. Mark Reynolds added a homer and four ribbies for the Indians, who carried a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the second.
— Blue Jays reliever Aaron Loup made a two-run throwing error in the 11th inning, allowing the New York Yankees to beat Toronto 5-3 for their ninth win in 11 games. Vernon Wells homered for the second straight day and scored the go-ahead run on Loup's miscue.
— Jeremy Hellickson gave up three hits in seven innings to pitch Tampa Bay past Oakland 1-0. Matt Joyce provided the lone run with a second-inning blast.
— Mike Trout's first career grand slam capped a nine-run first off Rick Porcello before the Angels completed a 10-0 laugher against the Tigers. Garrett Richards struck out eight while limiting Detroit to two hits in seven innings.
— Shortstop Alexei Ramirez threw away a grounder in the 10th inning to allow the tiebreaking run to score in Minnesota's 2-1 triumph over the White Sox. Ryan Doumit (DOH'-miht) doubled and scored the go-ahead run as the Twins halted a four-game skid.
— Colorado is the majors' hottest team after running its winning streak to eight games with a 4-3 triumph over Arizona. Michael Cuddyer homered to back Jorge De La Rosa, who blanked the Diamondbacks on two hits in six innings.
— Pablo Sandoval launched a two-run homer and Tim Lincecum (LIHN'-seh-kuhm) combined with three relievers on a five-hitter in San Francisco's 2-0 shutout of San Diego. Lincecum struck out a season-high eight and limited the Padres to four hits in 6 2/3 innings.
— James McDonald held Atlanta to a run and two hits while fanning nine over six innings of Pittsburgh's 3-1 win over the Braves. Gaby Sanchez slammed a tiebreaking two-run homer to cap a three-run sixth that sent the Braves to their second straight loss.
— Lance Lynn threw one-hit ball over seven innings as St. Louis blanked Philadelphia 5-0. Carlos Beltran homered for the third straight game after Allen Craig hit a two-run single in the Cardinals' four-run third.
— On Brandon Phillips Bobblehead Day, the Cincinnati second baseman hit a sac-fly in the bottom of the 13th to complete a 3-2 win over Florida. Shin-Soo Choo led off the winning rally with a double, the sixth time he reached base in the game.
— Hiram Burgos pitched five innings in his major league debut and the Milwaukee Brewers scored four unearned runs in a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Jonathan Lucroy hit a solo homer and scored twice in the Brewers' sixth straight win.
— Bryce Harper's second homer of the day snapped a 6-6 tie and sent Washington to a 7-6 win over the New York Mets. Ian Desmond hit a solo shot and Adam LaRoche added a three-run blast as part of the Nationals' seven-hit attack.
— Baltimore swept a doubleheader with Los Angeles to extend the Dodgers' losing streak to six games. Nolan Reimold (RY'-mohld) homered and hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning as the Orioles rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-5 in Game 1. Homers by Chris Davis and Manny Machado powered the Birds to a 6-1 victory in the nightcap.
White Sox place Viciedo on DL
CHICAGO (AP) — Outfielder Dayan Viciedo (vihs-ee-AY'-doh) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Chicago White Sox with a strained left oblique. He was injured while batting in the eighth inning at Toronto on Thursday, and the roster move was made retroactive to Friday. Viciedo is hitting .229 (11 for 48) with two homers and five RBIs in 13 games.
Hockey returns to the Hub...Devils stay alive
UNDATED (AP) — The Bruins were back on the ice Saturday afternoon after having two games postponed this week due to the Boston Marathon bombings. But the Bruins failed to pull into a tie with Montreal for the Northeast Division lead.
Jarome Iginla (ih-GIHN'-luh) and Kris Letang (leh-TANG') scored power-play goals in the first 8 1/2 minutes of the third period to give the visiting Penguins a 3-1 lead in a 3-2 triumph over the B's. Tomas Vokoun made 11 of his 38 saves in the third period as the Pens secured home-ice advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The game was pushed back by one day because of the manhunt for a suspect in the bombings. Monday's scheduled game between the Bruins and Ottawa was pushed back to April 28.
Before the game, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma (BIHLZ'-muh) wore a black T-shirt with the words "BOSTON STRONG" over his shirt and tie. During warm-ups, Bruins players wore baseball caps of the state police and Boston and Watertown police departments. The black cap for Watertown, where the Marathon bombing suspect was taken into custody, had the Bruins "Spiked B" logo on the front and the word "STRONG" on the back.
Montreal still leads the Northeast Division by two points over Boston after Alex Ovechkin (oh-VEHCH'-kihn) and Troy Brouwer (BROW'-ur) each scored twice in Washington's 5-1 drubbing of the Canadiens. Braden Holtby turned back 35 shots for the Capitals, who top the Southeast Division by three points over Ottawa with three games remaining.
In other NHL action:
— James Reimer (RY'-mur) turned back 49 shots and Toronto clinched its first playoff berth in nine years by downing Ottawa 4-1. James van Riemsdyk (van REEMZ'-dyk) scored twice for the Maple Leafs.
— The New York Islanders' magic number to clinch a playoff berth is three after Brad Boyes and John Tavares scored shootout goals to complete a 5-4 win at Winnipeg. Josh Bailey and Frans Nielsen each had a goal and an assist as the Islanders improved to 8-0-2 in their last 10 games.
— Alex Edler scored in regulation and Maxim Lapierre (lah-pee-EHR') provided the lone shootout tally as Vancouver beat Detroit 2-1 to stretch its lead in the Northwest Division to six points over Minnesota. The Red Wings are one point behind Columbus in the battle for the final Western Conference playoff berth.
— Patrik Elias (EHL'-ee-ahsh) scored twice and the New Jersey Devils kept their faint playoff hopes alive by rallying from a two-goal deficit for a 6-2 win over the Florida Panthers.
— Mikkel Boedker and David Schlemko scored shootout goals as Phoenix beat Chicago 3-2. The Coyotes are three points out of a Western Conference playoff berth with four games to play.

After dithering and developing cold feet on Monday, the ruling Congress' strategy became clear on Tuesday: a vote on the Women's Reservation Bill at all costs, debate if possible and use marshals to handle the wilful disrupters as a last resort, if necessary.
And this is exactly what yielded the desired result in the Rajya Sabha where the Bill was adopted by a more than two/thirds majority of those present and voting comfortably meeting the requirement of a constitutional amendment.
It was also clear that the three major political groups – the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Left – were committed to the Bill and certainly did not want to be seen backing out. Among other considerations was the most important factor that any wavering could cost them politically.
A number of meetings and behind-the-scenes confabulations throughout Tuesday ended with a final strategy meeting of the Congress floor managers. Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee earlier conferred with leaders of parties supporting the Bill. The strategy was firmed up after a vote-at-all-costs signal from party president Sonia Gandhi and a go-ahead from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Monday's insistence on a debate by the BJP and the Left were seen to be part of the plan to ensure that their contribution to the passing of legislation is duly acknowledged. Neither group wanted the Congress to run away with all the credit for this.
The day began with the three Yadav leaders – Mulayam Singh, Lalu Prasad and Sharad – meeting Dr. Singh at his residence. They came out reiterating their known stance. They were not against women's reservation but wanted the Bill to be amended to include a sub-quota within the overall reservation to ensure representation of backward caste women.
After the House convened, Mr. Mukherjee called a meeting of leaders of the parties supporting the Bill. After this, the Congress floor managers met with Mr. Mukherjee. It seems it was at this meeting and after getting the political green signal from Prime Minister and Ms. Gandhi that the strategy was firmed up, which was later seen in action in the Rajya Sabha.
As Ms. Gandhi later told reporters – for her it was a question of fulfilling Rajiv Gandhi's dream and with the Left parties and the BJP supporting the move, it could be taken up. She also gave credit to "Indian women" who were able to achieve this "with the help of men."
Sushma on 'Sonia's firmness'
The comments from the main Opposition party were equally gracious. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said this historic occasion was made possible by "Sonia's firmness, our commitment and the unswerving support of the Left parties." She added legislation was a "debt the political system owed to the women of this country" and "there should not be race or competition for political credit" as no party alone could have done it.
Brinda Karat of the CPI(M) was of the view that this would usher in "sensitive" politics and change and break the centuries-old "stereotyping of women." She was also of the view that representation of backward caste women, Dalit and scheduled tribe women and Muslim women would improve through this legislation.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley made it clear that not only was his party in favour of the Bill, it also supported wholeheartedly the idea of rotation of seats for a period of 15 years over three Lok Sabha elections. This with a similar pattern in State Assemblies would mean that in a decade-and-half, every Assembly and parliamentary constituency would have been represented by a woman, creating a whole new army of women political workers and leaders.
Keywords: Women's Reservation Bill, Congress, BJP, Left parties, RJD, Samajwadi Party, Rajya Sabha, Parliament

Prince George's baptism will be a truly intimate affair taking place on Oct. 23. The ceremony will be so small that even some close members of the royal family have reportedly been left off of the guest list! Find out who will be in attendance for the big occasion right here.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are planning their baby Prince George's christening ceremony. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are keeping the guest list short and the occasion intimate affair. Their pared-down invite list runs the risk of offending some high-profile royals, but the palace insists that the couple just wants to keep the baptism private and personal.
Prince George's Christening — Who Will Be Attending?
The baptism ceremony will be a far less public and star-studded event than other royal affairs — especially in comparison to big occasions like Will and Kate's wedding. The couple have decided to have George's christening in The Chapel Royal — a venue far smaller and more personal than the Music Room at Buckingham Palace, where past royal baptisms have taken place. The palace has stated that there is no meaning behind the couple's choice of the new location, that it is "simply a case of personal preference," reported Entertainment Wise.
George has so many relatives that every one will not be invited.
"Prince William's aunts, Princess Anne and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, have been left off the guest list," reported The Daily Mail. George's great-uncles, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were also reported to not be on the guest list.
Queen Elizabeth II will definitely be in attendance, as will her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Camilla Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry will also attend.
"We will announce the full guest list in due course when we are ready to do so," Kensington Palace told The Daily Mail.
Prince George's Christening Ceremony Details
The royal couple announced their plans for the christening in an official press release from Kensington Palace:
Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to announce the christening of Prince George will take place on Wednesday, 23rd October at The Chapel Royal, St James's Palace.
Prince George will be christened by The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby.

It's just the Members of the British Royal Family only. Not Camilla Parker Bowles, the Mistress of Evil. The witch of wickedness. Camilla is hideous for hurting Prince Charles. I came to protest. That's crap. I want to report it to the police to arrest Camilla who's being responsible for Princess Diana's murder since Camilla the one lying to have sex with Prince Charles in bed that ruined his life and his marriage to Princess Diana. Prince Charles is still a good man and innocent. And Princess Diana is still our People's Princess that we have loved. It's loved one as I'm a Royalist. Damn Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall!

William procreated with a dumb , average-looking woman who agreed to be a doormat and who was a shack up booty-call for years and years while he dated other women. Like the desperate wh*re she is, she stood back while he went after other women then took him back again. She had no dignity she wanted those titles THAT bad. She stinks. RING THE BELLS !!!

This guide is made for people to understand the RULES in A.R.A.M. What is A.R.A.M? The All Random, All Mid (A.R.A.M) is a game mode that was created by players in the Practice Mode. It's a very interesting game mode since it requires patience and luck to win. Since the game is mostly random, chances of obtaining an amazing team is based on luck. The gameplay consists of tower dives, ganks, and kills/deaths/assists which gives every player the opportunity to succeed. So, let's get onto how to play A.R.A.M. How to play A.R.A.M? Basically as the A.R.A.M states, every player is given a random champion to play mid. This means that the Top and Bottom Lanes are not accessible in this gameplay. [Click the first image for the boundaries of the Game] Additionally, any form of jungle, going into the forest, going into the brush, or recalling back to base is considered CHEATING. There are some discrepancies as to how far you can go near the brush in mid, but it should be right before the brush starts: [Click the second image for the boundaries of the brush] Since there is no recalling back to the base when low on health, many players suicide to prevent gold gains from the other team, like getting killed by the turret. This is permitted. Also, buying is only permitted when you die. The first time you buy is the beginning of the game; so if you are a good player, you might gain more than 5k gold before your second purchase. What are Snowball Items? Snowball items are specific items that increase the item's ability whenever the player gets a kill or an assist. Such items are Mejai Soulstealer, Leviathan, and Sword of the Occult. These items are known to be the "Snowball Sister Items" since they gain "stacks." In the general A.R.A.M games, snowball items are NOT ALLOWED since it can make the game one-sided for the entire fight. Is the Summoner Spell: Fortify allowed? Generally, the rules state that the Summoner Spell Fortify is NOT ALLOWED since it disrupts the offensive teams pushing capabilities. The more general approach for Summoner Spells is Heal and Clarity since the two spells are very useful in survivability as well as mana management. Of course, if you are playing a champion you know that is has more use with other Summoner Spells, any other spells are ALLOWED. Is the Item: Guardian Angel allowed? Many people have different preferences on Guardian Angel (GA). Some players hate the idea of Guardian Angel while others like it. Since Banshee's Veil is allowed in A.R.A.M, GA is allowed in most A.R.A.M games. Chances are, players that have GA can either be killed quickly after it is used or be used for offensive pushes. Either way, GA is a good item to have for all players. How will this benefit me in real LoL games? There are times when you play an LoL normal/ranked game when your favorite champion is taken or you need to play a tank character because everyone else is a carry or DPS. A.R.A.M is a great way to randomize different champions and give the player a great insight in playing any character. Versatility is what makes a great player. Try playing A.R.A.M and mix it up with champions you don't like to play or even don't know how to play. In my opinion, it's a great way to learn the LoL champions. Game Modes of A.R.A.M (Up to the host, but general rules) General A.R.A.M Rules 1. All Random Pick 2. All Middle lane ONLY 3. No Buying until dead 4. No recalling/Bluepill 5. No Brush/Jungle/Forest 6. No Snowball Items 7. Guardian Angel Allowed 8. No Summoner Spell: Fortify Professional A.R.A.M Rules 1. No Random Pick/ Random Pick (Up to the Host) 2. All Middle lane ONLY 3. No Buying until dead 4. No recalling/Bluepill 5. No Brush/Jungle/Forest 6. No Snowball Items Allowed 7. Guardian Angel Allowed 8. Summoner Spell: Fortify Allowed Hardcore A.R.A.M Rules 1. No Random Pick 2. All Middle lane ONLY 3. No Buying until dead 4. No recalling/Bluepill 5. Brush/Jungle/Forest Allowed (No farming Top or Bottom Lanes) 6. Snowball Items Allowed 7. Guardian Angel Allowed 8. Summoner Spell: Fortify Allowed Hope this guide helped a little for those players that enjoy playing A.R.A.M.

Interesting... Unfortunately, knowing the LoL community, the only way to actually play this mode competitively would be if Riot made it an actual mode.
The Pyrrho
Love it
i have a buddy who only plays this game mode... personally i hate it, as it takes very little skill and more luck.
Play it all the time and everyone commits. Its mad fun!
this is aweswome in practice
I've been almost only playing ARAM lately, due to my RL friends enjoying this mode the most. Great write-up and description of rules. The Snowball Rule is very important to address. Even for Professional Modes, Snowball items should not be allowed, IMO, because of the random chance 1 team will have more poke. What that means is that they out range the other team with spells and attacks, and can safely keep them at distance while damaging them, which snowballs make exceedingly unfair to grab early to continue the threat later in the game.
The rules of ARAM are always up to the host, but you are giving a very inaccurate depiction by claiming that Blue Pilling is not allowed, Snowball items are not allowed, and Fortify is not allowed. If anything, the few games that do not allow such things are usually referred to as Nerf ARAM or Carebear ARAM.

I totally agree. I am still currently employed with clean harbors and have been with them for 5 years, was there at eveready during the buy out in 2009. The company works solely on favoritism for work hours and there is no job security or chance for advancement. Promisses are many and rarely do they follow through. I work in the fort mcmurray division UF and dread every morning i get up to go to work.

This weekend will be great. So far it's started out good. Tonight I went over to my friend's house with 5 of my other friends and we all 'worked' on our take home test in our english class. In 3 hours we managed to finish half of it (only 15 problems) but in like an hour we got bored and decided to play a board game. It was really fun, and I'm actually surprised I had as much fun as I did. I was semi-hyper considering I had lots of caffeine before I went over there, hehehe. Tomorrow I have a soccer game and hopefully we win so we can go to semi-finals for the state cup! There's a really cute girl on my soccer team and she's playing a year up with us but next year I don't think she'll be on my team and she doesn't go to my school :[ but she's a really cool kid and tomorrow should be fun.
On sunday I might be going to this art museum for an etra redit assignment in world history and my bestie might be coming with us to spend the day in Seattle with me and the fambam and I can't wait!! But I'm not sure she can come if she has to work :/.
Today I just found out my crush is going to be leaving for a week and I was like =O ! And I'm not sure if I see this as a bad thing or a good thing, but since I'm not in my right mind I say it's BAD! But I'll get over it, ha. It's really cool cause lately we've become friends and I talk to her more and I'm not nervous anymore. Yay! (Yay she sits next to me in english 8D)
Also today the high school counselours came to my junior high to talk to us about next year (sophmore) and there's TONS of classes to choose from and it's all quite exciting. I can't wait to get into high school next year since there will be waaaaaay more people. Sometimes I get bored of the same old people in junior high and high school should be a better experience, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've heard stories on both sides saying it sucks or it's way better, so....ha....I know to not assume anything just yet. But still, I'm excited!
High school will definitly be a different story good OR bad.
Hopes your is good. ;)

Concierge.com's insider take:
When many of us think of Park City, it's not skiing that's on our minds. Our thoughts turn to Bob, his festival, and all that Hollywood pizzazz generated in such a small community. Sundance is the spot to sponge up that energy, with up-and-coming directors in the lobby, unsold screenplays scattered across the coffee tables, and the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Robert Redford himself. There's a constant rotation of readings, screenings, and workshops. The small but excellent, 450-acre private slopes on the grounds are also pretty darn inviting: The odds of leaving first tracks are high. As for the lodging, the 105 Native American–themed rooms and homes are right on the edge of being too much (Navajo rugs are everywhere), but any place that helped launch Quentin Tarantino's career is bound to retain a detached auteur cool.

Canine Antimicrobial Body Wash
This is a powerful medicated treatment that penetrates into the skin ONCONTACT to eliminate many causes of discomfort, dermatitis and fungus.Safe and gentle to skin & hair. Use like a 'shampoo' or spot treatment. Spot treatments do not need to be rinsed.
Uses: Itching, chewing, hot spots, sores, wounds, staph or yeast infections
Other products may treat the skin's surface, but the condition is usually deeper below the epidermis *barrier*. The Canine Relief Antimicrobial products have a carrier agent that can actually penetrate to the source of the problem and eliminate the bacteria ON CONTACT..
Not only is this a powerful treatment, it is Gentle, Non-Toxic and very EASY to use.
Hot Spots(acute moist dermatitis)
Dog Hot spots are the unrelenting discomfort and itching of areas on the skin. You will, in many cases, see the dog scratching or chewing themselves raw or bloody trying to relieve the discomfort.
The condition can be caused by subcutaneous irritating bacteria, typically picked up from the environment. In most cases it is easily eliminated, usually with one treatment.We recommend that the entire animal be washed with the Canine Relief Antimicrobial™ Body Wash to assure all bacteria is eliminated from the dog's body and hair coat. This not only treats the hot spots but helps prevent any further exposure of bacteria from the fur or hair.Once towel dried, apply a small amount of the Antimicrobial Wound Relief lotion to the open sore once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the wound.
If washing the entire animal in the Canine Relief Antimicrobial™ Body Wash is not possible, you can treat the hot spot area or wound one time with the Antimicrobial Spray. From that point foreward, simply swipe a small amount of the Wound Relief on the spot once or twice daily.
You can order our great 'Starter Kit' HERE at at 13% Discount.The Small Body Wash and Spray set can be ordered HERE at a 10% Discount
Ring Worm
Ringworm is a highly contageous fungus. (not a worm or parasite)We recommend that the entire animal be washed with the Canine Relief Antimicrobial™ Body Wash to assure all bacteria and fungus are eliminated from the body and hair coat.
One wash is usually all you'll need. After the dog is dry, apply the Antimicrobial Spray once every other day until the fungus appears to be healed. If you prefer treating it every day, you can apply the Wound Reliefonce per day, The evidence of healing should appear within 36 to 48 hours.
Superficial bacterial folliculitis (bumps, sores, scabs, hairloss)
This is a skin infection that can cause bumps, sores and scabs on your dog's skin. Though easier to see on short haired dogs, on longhaired dogs, common symptoms might be a dull coat, shedding and flaky skin.
The topical bacterial infection is an easy fix with the Canine Relief Antimicrobial™ Body Wash. The wash penetrates below the skin's surface to treat the deep lying bacteria. More times than not, because the formulas kill the bacteria on contact. we recommend one wash. After the wash, simply watch the healing process over the next few days. If you feel an additional wash is necessary, wash the dog again.
Most physical evidence of healing can be seen within 24 to 36 hours after treatment. Bacterial caused itching usually ceases on contact. Once the dog is dry, the itching is usually completely gone.
If your dog comes in from outside and starts chewing on his feet, odds are pretty good that he simply picked up an environmental irritant. Simply wipe some of the Canine Relief Antimicrobial Body Wash (or the Antimicrobial Spray) onto his feet. No rubbing or rinsing is necessary on spot treatments. One treatment should eliminate the bacterial irritant. If it happens again with his next trip outside, repeat the same procedure. Many bacterial irritants are triggered by the seasonal weather conditions. You may notice that some seasons tend to be worse than others.You can order what you need HERE at at 15% Discount.The Small Body Wash and Spray set can be ordered HERE at a 12% Discount
Uses: Fungus, Itching, chewing, hot spots, sores, wounds, staph or yeast infections

Q: Is having
BB: Yeah, good to see him back out there of course, always. It's good to see all the players back out there. If somebody is out, it's good to see him come back and good to see him do more. We'll just take it day to day and see where we end up here.
Q: What is it
BB: It's not injury related. I'm sure you'll see him out there today.
Q: Watching the Broncos film from the Raiders game, Jack Del Rio was doing a lot of standing up with his defensive players. Is that something they've done in all the games?
BB: Yes. They have a defense where nobody is down and they kind of walk around and they don't really have anybody in a three-point stance or maybe sometimes one guy will get down. They've done that, they've shown that, I'll say, in every game or a number of times during the year. It's not like a onetime thing against Oakland; they've been doing that.
Q: I guess the goal is to mess with the 'Mike' identification?
BB: Yeah, well again, they have some versatile guys that sometimes they rush, sometimes they cover. They like to bring a lot of defensive backs when they get into their six and seven defensive back defenses so they're really like linebackers but they're defensive backs, but it just becomes an identification thing for the offense: who is a DB, who is a linebacker, who has who, who is down. And so you potentially have 11 guys in coverage instead of just say seven, if it's a traditional four-man line. Then your combinations of who has who and a lot of cases where you have on third down – a guard might have a 'Mike' to a nickel back or a back might have a linebacker to a safety or whatever it happens to be, then it just becomes like a who's who game. They've done that and again, that's one of the many things they do that creates problems for you preparation-wise, making sure you have that. They do it every week and that's something you have to be ready for because you kind of know that sooner or later they're going to give it to you and you have to have a way to handle [it] or just in your normal rules, go over how you're going to cover.
Q: What improvements do you see in your running game?
BB: I don't know. We'll see what happens this week. We had our moments in the previous games, but that doesn't really matter. We're not playing any of those teams this week; we're playing Denver. We'll see how it goes against the Broncos, I don't know.
Q: Are you surprised that
BB: Well, he [was] active for one game. We have confidence in all our backs, so whichever ones are in there, we have confidence they'll be productive.
Q: With Aaron Hernandez not playing for the last few weeks and
BB: It has. Daniel and Mike Hooman [Hoomanawanui] have both gotten some of those opportunities when those guys haven't had all the practice time. It has been good. I think it's helped them just in the overall communication. Mike wasn't with us in training camp; Daniel was with us but didn't participate in training camp much until the last couple weeks there when he came off PUP. So, just being able to get out there, hear the calls, get the timing with the quarterbacks and the other receivers in the passing game or the tackles and tight ends in the running game on combination blocks, double team blocks, things like that, how to recognize the linebacker-corner or linebacker-safety relationship on perimeter plays, things like that. It all helps, absolutely. Those guys have gotten a lot of snaps and I think it's definitely helped their execution and their timing, their understanding of the plays and working with different [players]. Those guys have to work with a lot of different people, they have to work with tackles, they have to work with the other tight ends, they have to work with the receivers in pass protection and in the running game. That's been a good opportunity for them.
Q: Daniel Fells wasn't out there much in training camp, so we haven't seen a whole bunch of him, but it looks like he's a pro's pro. Is that what you see in practice?
BB: He is, yeah. Absolutely yeah. Dan knows what to do, he works hard, he's an experienced player, very professional in his attitude, his preparation, his film study and all of that. No question, he's very good on all those things.
Q: In the secondary, with Champ Bailey, is he somebody capable of by himself changing the way he's playing a receiver in the look he gives a certain receiver or even the tight end?
BB: I would start by just saying with Champ, to me he's one of the few corners in the league that really can match up against anybody. He matches up against the Andre Johnsons of the world, the big, strong, physical, fast guys. Then he'll match up against quick, real good route running, quick receivers, guys like that too. [It] doesn't really make any difference. You can watch him match up against whoever they want to put him on, whether it's Mike Wallace or whether it's Calvin Johnson, through the years; I'm not just talking about this year. At times, he's been on tight ends, like when he would be on [Tony] Gonzalez back in the day and things like that. So, I think he's really capable of being physical and standing in there and banging with the big guys. He's got enough quickness and length with the little guys to match their quickness and give them a problem and stay with them, or if he gets his hands on them and jams them, he can destroy the route right off the bat. He's a very instinctive player, so he has a good sense of what the guy is trying to do and what their tendencies are and things like that. He's on a lot of routes just because he's experienced and he's smart. I think he can cover, I'd say there aren't too many corners in the league – it would be hard to think of who the next one would be – who like him could match up as well against any type of receiver. Some guys do well against some type of players and have a little trouble with another type of guy. It looks like to me like he does a pretty good job against anybody – on whoever the other team's best receiver is, if they want to match him up, which sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. They don't always match him but at times they will. He can match them or not match them or he can take whoever comes out and do a pretty good job with it. Man, zone, he's a good Cover-2 corner, he's a good one-on-one corner, he's a good zone corner, tackles well, he's a good run-force corner, he's pretty much a prototype corner in terms of having a full set of skills, does everything well, plays the ball well, very good hands, but he's a strong tackler and a good run-force player too.
Q: In the play of the rookies, we've seen
BB: I think they're all working hard, I think they're all improving. They have helped us. They have a long way to go, I think there are lot of things they can do better. If they continue to work hard and prepare and pay attention to the little things and the details that will take them to higher ground, then I think they'll improve and they'll continue to be good players. They're going to be better than they are now, but they have helped us. They definitely have some talent, they've done a good job so far, they just have to keep adding the experience and the little things and the coaching points and take advantage of their opportunities to learn from their mistakes and the things that they don't do well to correct those and get them right the next time or make them positive the next time.
Q: Did you get a chance to watch 'Cleveland '95'?
BB: Yeah I did, I saw it.
Q: What were your thoughts?
BB: As usual, NFL Films, I thought they did a good job. It was a lot of good people there, a lot of talented people that I had the privilege to work with and I learned a lot from. I think it captured things pretty accurately.
Q: Did you guys have a group plan at the local eyeglass place?
BB: [Laughter]. Yeah, we had a few things like that. We had a lot of guys on the budget plan there too.

here we are:)
yep, that is the page I was meaning, but I'm noticing that is still the same as 2 years ago, I was hoping to read something different. Thanks anyway
A couple of years ago I saw a page inside Graphicriver about the most necessary items vs. the least necessary. I can't find it now, just wondering if anyone could direct me ? Thanks
it would be a mobile app about making music in an "unconventional" way.
I have no idea what coding and language is necessary
What is clear in my mind is how the app should work and which functionalities are required.
I understand that every coder obviously needs more specific info to give an answer, but my concern is how do I protect my idea from being stolen in my research for a partner ?
Hello everyone, this is my first thread in the "coding" world, an environment in which I don't feel comfortable coming from GraphicRiver land
Here is my simple question:
I think I have a very interesting idea for an App for which I can provide the concept, the design and all the communication / promotion side of it. I don't have a budget and I'm looking for a programmer who is willing to partner up with me in this project.
What would you suggest me to do ?
In doing my last Keynote/Powepoint presentation I thought that the client could find valuable and helpful to have something to promote the presentation with his clients / colleagues. So I designed 2 flyers coordinated with the presentation (one for printing and one to send via email ) and I put them as bonus with the item. At the beginning the item was approved with the bonus but one day after it got temporarily deleted with the explanation that bonus are not allowed.
So I re-uploaded the presentation without the bonus ( and they got approved ) and I decided to upload the flyers as a separate item in the category flyer so that I could show in the descriptions of the keynote and Powerpoint presentation that also a coordinated flyer was available, but the flyer got rejected ( … because does not meet our current minimum… ), you can see the preview of the item rejected here: http://www.hdcanada.org/downloads/Social-Market-preview-image.jpg
So now I have an item that I strongly believe could be a good incentive for a buyer, that I was even willing to give for free but I can not make it available.
Have you got any suggestion ? thanks
Thanks blerc
Nope, I don't have idea of what could happen deleting all Microsoft fonts, sorry.
It seems that the issue has been fixed now.
Congratulations to everyone – and thanks for the opportunity to participate!

Nine boss says Olympics numbers all add up
PUBLISHED: 04 Aug 2012 00:02:53 | UPDATED: 04 Aug 2012 02:33:32PUBLISHED: 04 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 04 Aug 2012John Stensholt London
Nine Network managing director Jeff Browne has rejected criticism of the station's Olympic broadcast and says the loss Nine will make on the London Games will be far less than feared.
At the Nine compound at the international broadcasting centre at Olympic Park, Mr Browne told the Weekend Financial Review the loss will be "less than $20 million" and the Olympics will be a positive experience for Nine and set up the network for strong ratings in the second half of the year.
Some reports have claimed Nine will lose as much as $30 million on the Olympics after it teamed with Foxtel to pay $US100 million in October 2007 for the rights to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the 2012 London Games.
"The reports of a revenue black hole are a complete nonsense," Mr Browne said. "Anyone who is broadcasting anything as big as the Olympics is not doing it to be positive on the P&L [profit and loss] statement and we haven't had to spend as much on this as Seven did in Beijing [in 2008].
"We're doing it for the impact it will have on the brand and that it will attract good people to want to work at the network. And it is a great opportunity to promote our second-half schedule."
During its Games coverage Nine has been advertising shows such as Big Brother, The Kerry Packer Story, the new Underbelly series and the next series of The Farmer Wants a Wife.
Mr Browne said the network hopes to get leverage from the Olympics in a similar way that rival Seven Network has during the Australian Open tennis tournament every January.
He said the Today show has been performing strongly and the news and A Current Affair have also had a boost from the Olympics.
"We're No. 1 in the 25-54 category, which is where we want to be."
Criticism of Nine's coverage, particularly its concentration on Australian athletes, came with the territory of being the Olympic broadcaster. "Part of it is probably our rivals Seven talking about it because they don't have it, and part of it is the popularity of social media," Mr Browne said.
"It is very easy to sit there and make criticism and then suddenly it is out there. But I have had plenty of people contact me and say they are glad Nine is [deciding] for them what to watch and they don't have to wade through eight channels [on Foxtel] to find something they want to watch."
Mr Browne confirmed Nine would bid for the next Olympics package, the 2014 Winter Games at Sochi in Russia and 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, when the International Olympic Committee opens bids for the Australian broadcasting rights this year.

Expert witness at trial said she is personally confused by Samsung products
By Loh Ving Sung GooglePlus
08 August 2012 - A graphics expert testifying in the San Jose Apple vs Samsung trial said she has mistaken the devices for each another. Susan Kare, who stood as a paid witness for Apple, is a graphics designer who created the original icons for Apple's first Macintosh.
All Things D reported, that Kare believed that application screens on some 11 Samsung smartphones are "substantially similar" to the iPhone display. Kare pinponted d the similarities "on the rows of four icons, the colourful mix of icons that are square with rounded corners".
She added, "These graphics features create an overall visual impression that confusing to a consumer".
Kare testified confusing a Samsung handset with an iPhone at a pre-trial meeting, which had a "big conference table with a bunch of smartphones". On the table, she picked up what she thought was an iPhone and found she was holding a Samsung. Kare said, "So I personally have had the experience of being confused".
When under cross examination by Samsung's legal team, Kare did concede Samsung's individual icons stood out from Apple's. She also had trouble answering how a consumer could mistake a Droid Charge for an iPhone, especially with a different start-up sequence.
She however summed up that the similarities between the overall designs of the screens, it was 'beyond coincidental'.

So there, I was curious, as to how you can become a pro player? (Apart from getting 2k+ ELO)
Senior Member
Get along with people and have a lot of luck.
Shock Blaze
Junior Member
Simply , you do not become ''pro'', you just start to use your mind and react quick that's all. ect. Don't get scared when a team fight starts or something that will start your adrenalin, Just be calm and think about what are the possibility's that you can do. Being calm and thinking will make you do something right for your team and for your self. Plus with a bunch of luck and quick reacting to whats happening will make you ''pro'' .
get paid for playing lol and you're officially a proffesional (that's the actual meaning of a pro)
Yeah, that's why I'm asking. It's not that I'm really thinking of being a professional, but I was curious as to how actually pros became pros. What did they do to get paid, etc..? Just team up and win onlines and LANs?
Either start your own team and work towards earning your own sponsorships and such, or get good enough to get noticed by a professional team that wants to pick you up.
Hi. The difference between a good player and a bad player is consequence of many little particular aspects in game, like "last-hit" or "ward". You can find everywhere a build of your main champion, so this is not a difference. The pro player knows all of those aspects. He knows all the skills of champion roster and for that he is able to predict enemies moves or which enemy attack first or which not attack. Finally, the pro is able to use many champions in many roles at 100% power. A Warwick played bad and a Warwick well-played (ex: combo Q-R-Ignite-Q-W). Essentially, The Pro is a player who know how to do, when and why. Ps: sorry for my bad english XD
To become a pro you need to get paid to play. There are several basic ways of getting paid: 1. winning cash prizes in tournaments (requires being better than the top teams in said tournaments consistently) 2. getting paid by a third party to appear in tournaments (I.E. getting sponsored) 3. streaming and getting money from streaming bodies based on ad revenue 4. selling memorabilia or your skills directly to your fan base (paid lessons, Elo boosting, et cetera). Becoming a pro consists of a. finding your revenue venue b. working your way towards making that venue work c. succeeding in (b).
LK Sway
to become a pro you really need to like this game. getting paid for a game you don't like will not last long.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Imagined As a LucasArts Adventure Game
By Amy Ratcliffe on May 6, 2014
LucasArts brought us hours of gameplay with their memorable titles, and those titles included several point and click adventure games. They pretty much nailed that medium of storytelling in games with releases such as Maniac Mansion. Now, imagine a world where that type of LucasArts game is mixed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, it is as wonderful as it sounds.
Illustrator Andrew Scaife created art that imagines some sample screenshots from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer adventure, and if I had the funds, I would rehire everyone from LucasArts right away and have them work on making this game a reality. Scaife pulls inspiration from different episodes for each shot, and if the "Use broken crayon" option from "Grave" doesn't make your heart melt, you may need to get your ticker checked.
Who else wants to play this game immediately?
HT: Whedonesque
Sign me the hell up!!! Makes me want to break out my copy of Maniac Mansion!!
Wow…! I'm not the biggest Buffy fan, but I do love me an old-school point-and-clicker from LucasArts. I'd play the hell out of this!
I would love this!
I'm in. Do it! Do it now!
WE GOT A TRUE BUFFY FAN, HERE! This artist picked some really great locations and moments for his "sample screenshots!" I see the Library, The Bronze, Slayerfest '98, Hush, The Magic Box, "Yellow Crayon Moment," and the Slayer Scythe! I'm amazed and wish this was real. Will definitely be talking about it on my Buffy-themed YouTube Channel! Check it out if you're a Buffy fan: http://www.youtube.com/oncemorewithlingling
Beyond awesome and I'd totally play it! Granted, I just replayed The Pandora Directive in anticipation of the new Tex Murphy game, so I'm obviously a die hard fan of the Point-&-Click / Exploration Adventure… Where's my Woodruff & the Schnibble reboot?!
PS: Speaking of Whedon inspired fare, really looking forward to Firefly Online soon!!!

Tasty, Tender and Succulent Defines a Prime Rib Eye Steak Experience
Rib eye steak, which is also known as prime rib, is a beautifully marbled piece of meat that's cut from the beef's rib section. The difference between rib eye and prime rib is in how they are prepared as rib eye is grilled and prime rib is oven roasted. For the ultimate flavorful experience, it's important to answer the question—"How long should I grill a rib eye steak?"
When grilling a steak, you want the grill to be as hot as is safely possible. Gas grills are easier to calibrate than charcoal fired units, but the basic rule of thumb is when you place the steak on the grate, you should hear it sizzle.
In choosing the meat, select steaks that are one inch thick and that display white marbling patterns. White marbling is caused by streaks of fat, which ensure that the steaks you choose will be tender. Rib eyes have a great natural taste and are fine unseasoned. If you do want to add some flavor, most cooks recommend salt and pepper. Other choices include finely sliced fresh garlic or garlic powder or you can rub on a combination of dry oregano and basil.
How long you grill your rib eye depends upon how well you want it done. Whether a steak is cooked rare, medium rare or to any of the other three degrees of being done is determined by the internal temperature of the meat. It's really up to you as to how red you like your steak. Here are the five degrees of doneness as determined by the internal temperature of the steak.
Did you ask, "How long do I grill my rib eye steak?" Two to three minutes on each side will get it to rare and another two minutes on each side will result in the steak getting to the medium rare state. About seven minutes will take it to the medium level and nine to ten will serve up a medium well done piece of beef. How long do I grill a rib eye steak if I want it well done? The answer is 10 to 12 minutes on each side.
Remember, rib eye steak is tasty. If you want it to "moo," then opt for rare, but if you want to consume it in its most popular state, opt for medium. If you're concerned about bacteria borne illness, then well done will ensure that the rib eye is essentially germ free.

Update: The testing of the CCFL wasn't a simple matter, just not so many pictures were taken of it. (like zero) So my friend Tyler Wilson wants it noted that in our testing of the inverter for the UV lamps he had some good old fashion electrocution. Yes he is also an Mechanical engineer like me, but our motto is that if something isn't going wrong then your not having fun.
My very wonderful cousin gave me an old 17" LCD made by the company GEM (I don't know who they are) which was making a big racket with squealing. I knew it was the backlight so I said I'd take it knowing that to get it repaired by a pro would cost 30-60 for the inverter and a few hours of labour. Being A poor student that wasn't going to happen but I knew it was a decent panel and wanted a second monitor for my laptop.
So I decided to see if I could drive the existing CCFL's with a Computer UV CCFL kit and barring that would try LED's (Which are salvaged from Princess Auto Head Lamps).
First thing to do is disassemble the monitor. Here you can see the diffuser assembly separated from the panel assembly (made by acer)
Be very careful of this side ribbon, undo it when seperating the diffuser from the panel. If you rip it, just throw out the LCD because it just became no longer worth it. Joking - But seriously, really hard to fix
Just the unfolded assembly on my nice static filled bed.
The inverter on the left will do the quick start of the CCFL but won't keep it going meaning it needs replacement. However the CCFL's hissed when testing so they are dying to, hence LED solution to follow.
So the diffuser assembly needs dissassembly
Horray, got the stupid plastic thing off.
The diffusion plastic layers and the Plexiglas diffuser. Now how do i get off the CCFL's?... Little prying worked!
Diffuser sheets!
And off it comes!
So Here is what I have then. (upside down) The white diffuse background along with little white dots on the plexi-glass.. For you guessed it. More Diffusion!
Ready the First backlight - A Duracell Keychain LED light
Hey. It works! Well kind of... Versus the Black I was seeing before this is a big improvement. Astro you rock!
More light needed to test with!
Note the LCD is upside down on the diffuser assembly. I need to fit the LED's where the CCFL's were - A big challenge
So Now wee need more LED's. Princess Auto your my hero!
$6.88 for each, with 8 LED's in each.. All tested and working. 5 In total for 40 LED's to be used. 20 on top and bottom.
Disassembly of head lamps!
Cut the Ground (well groundish!) wire!
And get the CCFL's outta their!
I need to recovered the rubber nubs to use as standoffs latter
Cut the incoming lines...
And push them out!
See, shinny inside, means less light loss
Start your drills and drill lots of holes for the LED's
Remember to charge you drill or like me, after 2 holes you have to put it on charge
Lots of holes, put the reflector back on the Plexiglas diffuser
Better view, notice the advil in the background, needed latter on
All the LED's have been super glued in!
Doing a test!
Astro your still my Hero!
Epoxying over the snipped LED ends!
See the globs, so it don't short!
Covered LED's also with electical tape!
More View!
And put the LCD on the front and the boards around the back
Front view
Tape the Back board in place
A bad test image!
Picture above and below have same exposure settings, notice the LED is not as bright. Also note that 9 LED's out of the 40 Died and because I super glued them in I can't get them out. One also exploded due to an accidental over volt. Shot me in the Chest. Panel okay though
Some LED's were angled to high. Try and Keep them Perpendicular.
Most of these above were perpendicular or directly in so they didn't streak as much. Not to noticeable though unless on a solid background.
Lights off and watching a movie. In dark it's an okay movie monitor and okay secondary.

I'd prefer to have a small, golden drill that glows in green in my possession.karauma wrote:No, Think about it this way, There's a big daddy looking at you, he's pissed, he thought you were messing with his little sister, you have no weapon, he's a bouncer type. Now, Do you want him to have a tiny drill? Or a big fucking drill that could splatter an elephant with one hit?

If so, it's not about games.
