I have to first give Marvel credit for getting me into comic books. It's been a great an amazing ride as i've been introduced to so many great comic books over the years. But Marvel was the first and gets full credit for opening my world to comics.
With that said, I'm really excited for the possibilities of Marvel NOW!. I'm not against change. I was excited for the New 52 and welcomed it. Every time Facebook changed it's look, I'm all for it. I really like change. I think comic books universes need to get a fresh take every decade or so. I get annoyed how angry people get when there reboot or universe changing event. What's so wrong about change? You always have those awesome stories you love to fall back on. But now you get a fresh take on an awesome character?
So with Marvel NOW!, I say bring it. Marvel has stated that this isn't a reboot, but is a shake up of the Marvel Universe after the affects of AvX. Which is awesome, because I don't feel Marvel needed a reboot.
AVX was something I was looking forward to, but was very disappointed in the execution of it. It started off with a bang, but then quickly fizzled out. Of course I stuck with it and I have to say Avengers Vs. X-Men #9 and Avengers Vs. X-Men #10 got me excited agan. I think where Marvel failed with AvX was with the tie ins and how poorly they fit in to the AvX event. To me it will be hard to beat the Civil War event and how nicely the tie ins seem to flow with that event. With Marvel NOW!, I'd like to see them cut back on the "Big Events" and focus on building up the fresh take of these characters. I like how the NEW 52 has held off a year so far with out a major event. (I'm not counting "The Night of the Owls " because it was contained in the Batman titles and wasn't as big as "Blackest Night ") I understand that these big events are cash cows, but I'd want them cut back on them for the sake of a good story and a well planned event.
I also want new villains from Marvel NOW!. Spider-Man is my favorite character, but if he isn't battling one of is more known villains like Lizard, any of the Goblins, Doc Oct, ect. his villains seem to lack. These villains got popular because of awesome stories. So instead of going back to them over and over, come up with a new threat and give the readers someone new to love.
Ok I know Wolverine and Spider-Man are the most popular characters at Marvel and they seem to be EVERYWHERE in the universe. I don't like it, but I've come to accept it. If you are going to used them at least make it all make sense and tie the books in better. I mean Spider-Man gets destroyed in AvX, yet in the other Spider-Man books there is no reference or anything. How does such a big event not carry over into other books? I don't think it needs be tied in or anything, but it gives off the idea that they are not connected and apart of the same universe. Where does The Amazing Spider-Man : Ends of the Earth play into the AvX event? How does The Invincible Iron Man and his dealing with the Mandarin affect AvX? All I want is a bit of a connection. They don't need to tie in, but having some form of a continuity would help keep the huge universe together.
I love the idea of this new direction and I hope Marvel can take this opportunity to improve their vast universe.
What do you think of Marvel NOW! and what do you want from it?

Yesterday's practice was fun but frustrating for me. There were some drills I did, such as weaving through cones, that I eventually got better at the more I practiced. But there were others, like the whip and assist weaving drill, that I didn't even attempt because I was a little intimidated. The idea of whipping sounds fun, but whipping to weave through a pace line sounded a little outside of my skill level. So I ended up sitting out and watching the others do it.
I'll be honest, I was a little upset with myself after practice. Why did I sit out? Was I really that uncomfortable with the drill? Right before practice ended, Draggin Lady said something along the lines of "you get better with more repetitions." She might not have been speaking directly to me, but I took the hint. If you don't get in any repetitions, you can't really get any better. Duh.
So for now on if I feel uncomfortable about participating in a drill, I'm at least going to try it once and see if it really is as difficult as I think it is (which it probably isn't). I did not like feeling like a wuss or a slacker after practice, and I'd much rather feel like I gave something a try even if I fail or don't do well.
There. Now that all that's off my chest, I'll talk a bit about all the fun I had during practice. As I said, I was eventually able to get the weaving drill down thanks to the help of some of the other bootcamp and Fresh Meat skaters and especially Butcher Block (a Heartless Heather and Axles of Annihilation badass) who offered advice and direction every time I went through the cones.
By the end of the drill, I'm pretty sure I actually weaved through the cones like you're supposed to. I got praise from Butcher Block and Tyger Bomb said I improved a lot just from the beginning of the drill. Yay me!
We also got to do a fun relay-type race where one skater from each team had to skate around the track once, and then turn around and skate backward around the track for another lap. The backward skating seemed to slow most people down, which made me feel a little better about my lack of backward skating skills….until I realized I was close to the end of the line and would definitely not help my team win unless they jumped out to a big ass lead.
It was all in good fun, though, and I got some backward skating assistance from Smack.
Despite my brief slacker moment at the end of practice, I was happy with practice and I was excited to take Smack's early morning lessons the next day. Unfortunately, I woke up with a migraine and had to skip the lessons so I could go back to bed and get rid of the monster throbbing going on in my noggin. But luckily, today's hour practice is on skates instead of off skates so I can get in some extra skating time.
More to come!

If you need a decent laptop for daily everyday jobs in office or at home but did not want to breaking the bank, you should consider to buy Dell Inspiron I15RV-1952BLK 15.6 inch laptop. Yeah, with the third generation of Intel "Ivy Bridge" Celeron 1017U processor as the heart, Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-1952BLK laptop is not a high end machine, but it still doing a great job for daily jobs, such as streaming video from internet, read or edit document and play casual modern games.
Speaking of design and hardware configurations, Dell Inspiron I15RV-1952BLK is looks identical to Dell Inspiron 15 I15RV-477BLK laptop that has released few months ago. It made from a high quality plastic material for casing with textured finis design. For the interior and exterior, the 15.6 inch budget friendly laptop has a black mate color, along with a dell logo on the center of the lid cover. Measures around at 10.2 x 14.8 x 1 inches and weighs around at 5 lbs, this laptop is offer a god portability, thinner than common 15.6 inch laptop on its class. Its mean you can slip it perfectly in carry bag and perfect for travel companion.
The Intel Celeron 1017U dual core processor as the heart and clocked at 1.6GHZ is an entry level Ivy Bridge architecture and did not support for play 3D modern games. But, with the 4GB of DDR3 RAM and integrated Intel HD graphics as graphics engine, the Inspiron 15 i15RV-1952BLK still provides enough power and smooth multitasking performance for day to day office and light multimedia tasks. Of course, the Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit version also has installed when you buy this model.
Not only promises stable platform for daily use, the Windows 8 also compatible with almost all multimedia, office and business applications. Its mean you can download more useful applications or install from CD's or DVD's cassette, thanks to the Super Multi Burner Drive that located on the right side. Under the hood, there is also a 320GB of Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive that provides a plenty of storage space and offers spinning speed of 5400 rpm.
Like the previous model, Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-1952BLK also comes with a 15.6 inch High Definition display and can produces maximum internal resolution at 1366 x 768 pixels. For optimized viewing experience, the machine brings Dell's TruLife technology that promises very bright, crisp and stunning color for photos, 720p video playback or playing casual games.

On the top of black bezel, the High Definition 1.0 megapixel web camera allows user to make a face to face video conference or chats. There are also internal digital microphone that offers loud audio chats and a pair of stereo speakers with Waves MaxxAudio 4 technology that promises fairly crisp and loud audio for music and videos. The rest of configurations are 3.5mm audio combo jack, two USB 3.0 port, VGA port, security lock slot, 8-in-1 multimedia card reader slot, Ethernet LAN with RJ 45 connector for wired connection, WiFi 802.11b/g/n for wireless internet connection, latest Bluetooth technology and a 4-cell Lithium battery.
Yeah, the new Dell Inspiron's graphics performance is a disappointed and storage space also smaller than other its competitor. But with a starting price around at $329 and 1 year warranty, Dell Inspiron I15RV-1952BLK is still a great 15.6 inch affordable laptop. So, what do you think? If you have more budget and the multimedia performance is your big concerned, Samsung ATIV Book 6 NP680Z5E-X01US laptop is one of the good option. Comes with Intel Core i7-3635QM processor as the heart and JBL Stereo Speakers with SoundAlive technology for the audio, the Samsung Full HD Touch laptop provides stunning viewing and audio experience.

The Wall
Oberhausen, Germany
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are known for their wrappings of structures and natural features, acquiring international acclaim outside the art world with 1995's Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin. Much of their early work though did use other materials and objects, with six completed works using oil barrels. This work, their seventh, is located inside a Gasometer in Oberhausen, Germany. The structure, built in 1928 to store the gaseous by-products of iron ore processing, is 110 m (360 ft) high with a 68 m (223 ft) diameter, with the wall of oil barrels 26 m (85 ft) tall and 7.23 m (24 ft) deep, filling the diameter of the Gasometer. The installation is accompanied by two exhibitions, documenting two projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Umbrellas (Japan and USA, 1984-91) and Wrapped Reichstag (Berlin, 1971-95).
Of course the wall does more than separate the space for the two exhibitions, it transforms the space through its size and color, (the latter indicating the massive task of assembling and installing the work) and makes a strong statement through the use of oil barrels. The political focus of the earlier oil barrel works (for example Wall of Oil Barrels, Iron Curtain, built in a street in Paris shortly after the rise of the Berlin Wall) carry over into this most recent undertaking. The dependency of most of the world on oil and its by-products leads to a rapid depletion of this natural resource, while oil spills pollute bodies of water and kill creatures that rely on the once clean water. Yes, this is common knowledge. But what can be done to remedy our dependence and destruction? Alternative strategies and technologies are available, but oil has become a measure of power between nations, making any cleaner, and possibly more efficient, options difficult or impossible. Witness the United State's involvement in the Persian Gulf War. Instead of using Iraq's stronghold on oil to promote optional means and methods (solar and wind energy, electric cars,...) to lessen a dependence on oil, the government used military force under a smokescreen of protecting American citizens in the Middle East. This naive over-simplification illustrates a paradox: that which sets us free also constrains us.
But why 13,000 oil barrels in a Gasometer in Germany? The location is obvious; the structure a container for the dangerous by-products of processing iron ore. Stacking the barrels inside hints that if the wall of barrels collapses the oil inside will be contained. Each material (iron and oil) has eventual destructive effects on the planet; the Gasometer symbolizes man's futile attempt to contain their destruction. When an oil tanker runs aground, though, the ship's hull must be strong enough to contain the oil. On June 26, 1998 a barge did this very thing in Biscayne Bay off the coast of Miami, Florida, luckily without any leakage. This near-spill is relevant because Christo and Jeanne-Claude surrounded nine islands in Biscayne Bay between 1980-83, and the barge was containing, yes, 13,000 barrels of oil. I do not know if the artists knew of this occurrence next to the site of one of their first large-scale works, but the location and quantity seem to be much more than a coincidence.
With the various ways of reading Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work no single view takes precedent, true when critiquing anyone's work. The Wall, 13,000 Oil Barrels is simple and overwhelming enough to elicit many interpretations outside of the one positioned here. It is these two qualities, integral to the couple's art, that will push them into the spotlight with each new work.

The PINC List – A Tool For Meeting SEMS Requirements
One of the most valuable tools for oil and gas companies that want to make sure they are meeting the new SEMS requirements is now available for review. I am talking about the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement's (BSEE) Potential Incident of Noncompliance List for SEMS. In the industry, that is known as the PINC list and the agency issues PINC lists to help its field units interpret and enforce regulations. As a result it is an inside look at what the BSEE enforcers are looking for when they visit an offshore facility or an oil and gas company office.
The industry has been waiting with bated breath for the SEMS PINC list because it clarifies what the agency will focus on when enforcing SEMS. At the very least, it helps lease-holders fine-tune their SEMS plans. This particular PINC list is extensive – more than 20 pages long. The list goes through each of the 13 elements of SEMS and highlights the specific parts that BSEE personnel should ask to see. To no one's surprise, the PINC list focuses on documenting and verifying procedures. For example, under the section covering contractor safety, the list says personnel should:
Verify that when selecting contractors, operators should obtain and evaluate information regarding a
contractor's safety and environmental management policies, practices, and past performance along with their
procedures for selecting sub-contractors.
In other words, the agency is saying to operators, "Show us the process you use to decide if a contractor is safe." Other parts require the operators to share their SEMS expectations with contractors and that the two sides agree on the safety approach to be used on the facility.
As if anyone needed reminding, the PINC list shows how much is riding on SEMS compliance. Incidents of Noncompliance carry a potential fine of $35,000 per day. The list also helps clarify when an infraction could result in a shutdown of the facility. For most items on the list, failure to comply results in a warning INC. However, failure to have a SEMS plan or allowing an unsafe condition to exist that could threaten the facility and everyone on board could result in an order to shut down the entire facility until the problem is fixed. In cases where a particular piece of equipment presents a hazard or personnel working on that equipment are not properly trained, that problem could result in an order to shut down that specific piece of equipment.

Speaker Biography

Alan Chambers Polar Explorer
Leader of the first successful British team to walk unsupported from Canada to the Geographic North Pole. After immense challenges – including the evacuation of two team members – and extreme frostbite and hunger, Alan and team mate, Charlie Paton, raised the Union Jack on top of the world at 23:16 hours on 16th May 2000. The walk on the ice lasted a gruelling 70 days.
He particptaed in the planning and execution of that first winter crossing of Iceland on skis from the west coast to the east. Previously attempted six times by various nationalities. Iceland was deemed un-crossable. Dragging sledges each weighing 240 pounds, the four-man team skied in arctic blizzard conditions for 47 days over 500 miles.
2003 – Led a team of city business people to the top of the workd and then went on to ski across Greenland using 12 meter traction kites with fellow adventurer Pete Goss MBE.
2004 – Led team of 15 internationally known business leaders across 60 miles of Artcic Ice to reach the Geographic North Pole. This year Alan and team mate, Pete Goss MBE, will recreate the expedition.
Alan is curently planning his 2006 expedition, the Polar Bridge, in which he will attempt to become the first British explorer to walk unsupported from Russia to Canada via the Geographic North Pole.
He was invited by Sir Clive Woodward to speak to the England Rugby Football Senior Squad in preparation for the Rugby World Cup 2003, concentrating on project focus and maintaining direction in adversity.
During 16 years service with the Royal Marines, Alan worked around the globe in the most extreme climates – including the arctic, desert, jungle and remote mountains. He is formally qualified as a diver, parachutist, paramedic and ski survival instructor, as well as advising other expeditions on survival in the high arctic.

Fall 2003
AMS 390 • Cultural History of Alcohol and Drugs
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
26475 |
Smith |
Course Description
About 25 years ago, the public policy analyst Troy Duster argued that alcohol--and implicitly all drugs--was to society what dye was to microscopy. That is, it served to bring into focus important and often hidden parts of the organism. In just the most obvious contemporary example, the issue of the decriminalization of drugs brings issues of race, class, age, and individual rights to the forefront as well as such philosophical and ideological debates as free will vs. determinism, the power of the state vs. individual freedom, and the power and rights of the majority vs. that of minorities. Moreover, drugs have provided such insights throughout history. One major reason for the extraordinary utility of drugs for cultural analysis is their social construction. Just as individuals attitudes and behavior toward drugs differ and even change through time, so do that of cultures. A behavior such as opium smoking which was perfectly acceptable in the late 19th century is today regarded with horror, while other actions such as drinking are accepted and even valued today while being criminally prohibited only 65 years ago. Our goal throughout the course is not so much to study drugs, drug use, and Americans reaction to them as to examine American society through them. In line with this, the course reading is aggressively interdisciplinary and papers (and students) from all disciplines and approaches are welcomed. The reading list will contain works of political, social, and cultural history, public policy, oral history, ethnography, literary criticism, autobiographies, sociology, media studies, and psychology and try to raise as many issues and suggest as many possible paper topics as possible. The goal of the course is for each student to produce a near-publishable paper.

Yet another woman is entering Hank's life on the next season of Californication and will likely cause him no ends of trouble. But you can't say the man doesn't have good taste – the women he involves himself with are usually quite stunning. And that's why we watch Californication, right? For the attractive ladies! And I'll be damned if Mercedes Masöhn isn't one of the most gorgeous actresses to grace our televisions. I'm going to need a cold shower just after writing about her. I can't even imagine what it's like for anyone who gets to spend real, physical time with her. But that's enough gushing for now, let's talk about what sort of role she'll be playing in the upcoming seventh season.
At the moment, it's only looking like Masöhn will be around for a short period of time – she's only set to guest star in one episode – but there's a chance her part might be expanded to more episodes. She'll be playing Amy Taylor Walsh; a TV star whose pleas for Hank's help puts him in an uncomfortable, compromising position. Hmm, I wonder what sort of position we're talking about here. Perhaps it has to do with this character's past. TVLine said Amy has ties to fellow actress, Sarah Bingham, who was played by Addison Timlin in Season 4. Will that connection become important or is it just a fun fact, an icebreaker as she first introduces herself to Hank?
Masöhn's other TV credits include the short-lived 666 Park Avenue and The Finder. Clearly, broadcast networks weren't doing her any favors, so she turned to premium cable. Well, we welcome you with open arms. You might be asked to show a bit more skin than you would on ABC or Fox, but that's the price you pay for getting to do more groundbreaking work.
Californication's seventh season is set to drop in 2014.

Estes Valley Burn Ban Lifted
The open fire ban in place since December 3 for the Estes Valley Fire Protection District has been lifted. Fire chief Scott Dorman Lifted the ban on Friday, December 21, just after our area received up to 14 inches of snow.
From Chief Dorman:
In response to the recent snowfall reducing the level of risk of a wildland fire, I hereby lift the open burning ban. The change in open buring restrictions only affects properties within the Estes Valley Fire Protection District and is effective as of 12 noon, Dec. 21, 2012.
The fire, burning since Oct. 9 still smolders and burns but activity has decreased as colder temperatures and snow have fallen in our area.
As a result, the ban on the following open fires is lifted:
Building, maintaining, attending or using fire for slash burning, campfires, recreational fires or educational fires.
Use of all private fireworks including approved fireworks (i.e. sparklers, fountains).
Smoking on public property, except within an enclosed vehicle or building or an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
Welding or operating acetylene or other torch with an open flame on outdoor property unless approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
All suspended burn permits.
These restrictions are still dependent on current fire danger and will be evaluated on a daily basis. Should conditions change, burn restriction may be reinstated.

Date Posted:01/28/2002, 8:00AM
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin College women's basketball player Kristi Royer has been named Maine Women's Basketball Coaches Association co-player of the week.
Royer, a junior forward from Lewiston, led the Polar Bears to victories over three teams ranked in the top ten of the New England Women's Basketball Association poll last week. In victories over Bates, Middlebury and Williams, Royer averaged 15.3 points and 9.3 rebounds, while hitting for over 55% from the field. Royer is having an outstanding season, leading Bowdoin in scoring (14.5 ppg) and rebounds (6.9 rpg). The Polar Bears are ranked first in New England and fourth in the latest national poll. Bowdoin will travel to face rivals Bates and Tufts this weekend.

In line with the Albuquerque Fire Department's pursuit to deliver the very best service to the citizens of Albuquerque, the Department maintains over 700 Firefighters with Wildland Fire Qualifications.
Albuquerque Fire Department provides wildfire protection for a large portion of the Rio Grande Valley State Park, the Petroglyph National Monument on Albuquerque's Westside and Albuquerque Open Space areas of the West Mesa and Sandia Foothills.
Albuquerque Fire Department has four Wildland Task force stations throughout the city. The Task force stations are able to respond immediately to Wildland fires in and around the City of Albuquerque with type I engines (large pumpers), VI engines (brush trucks) and members with advanced Wildland training. Members of the task force stations undergo many hours of training to prepare them for combating Wildland fire with ground and aerial suppression tactics. Albuquerque Fire Department also participates in the New Mexico Resource Mobilization Plan. This multi agency plan enables Albuquerque Fire Department to assist our fellow firefighting agencies in fighting Wildland fires in New Mexico and neighboring states.
Since people cause most wildfires, we all have a part in preventing them. We can be more careful ourselves, and whoever and wherever we are, we can influence others to use more care with fires.
Remember, a little extra care takes only a few minutes of your time and it would prevent a wildfire.
To stay current with local fire conditions, go to the Albuquerque NOAA.

hello there,im 20 and recently lost my virginity,lm worried if anythng could happen because lm not really ready to be a mother,so i need to know which contraceptives to use if you have never had a baby before,thank you
Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. It all depends, if you had unprotected sex on your fertile days. Then, your chances are higher for pregnancy to occur. Not everyone is the same, a woman usually ovulates between day 11-21 of a cycle. You might want to use condoms to avoid pregnancy or you will need to discuss with your doctor the best type of birth control for you.
Here are some resources for you

I was pleased to read the article on Professor Gavronsky in the Fall 2011 issue of Barnard. It was exciting to read about his accomplishments and dedication to the Barnard community throughout the years. I do remember him fondly from a course that I was privileged to attend. His illustrious career and multifaceted talents make all of us proud.
Congratulations, Professor Gavronsky, on your retirement. All of us wish you the very best and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It is wonderful that the Barnard Center for Research on Women is still going strong after 40 years ["The Next Forty Years," Fall 2011]. The conference this September made very clear that the Women's Center (which is what we called it when it was founded in 1971) continues to promote feminist scholarship and activism.
We were saddened, then, to find no mention or photograph of Jane S. Gould in the article about the Center's 40th anniversary. Jane, the first permanent director of the Women's Center, was appointed in 1972 and served in that capacity until 1983. It was largely her vision that shaped the unique role and identity of the Women's Center at Barnard.
As just one example, Jane organized and nurtured the first 10 celebrated Scholar & Feminist Conferences, where academics and activists could meet and exchange ideas on the center's common ground.
Although Jane died in 2009, she inspired us to celebrate her legacy and spirit at the 40th anniversary conference.

The fall issue's celebratory and self-congratulatory tone about the Barnard community's engagement in feminist issues seems to me to be quite unmerited. Shouldn't women at Barnard be pushing beyond the familiar clichés? What exactly is meant for example by "gender equality"? When the majority of students in college, law and medical schools are women, does it matter that the staff of the New Yorker is all male? If the percentage of women in politics remains steady at 17 or 18 percent is "sexism" an explanation or a way of avoiding an explanation?
It is shameful to be congratulating yourselves about unionizing domestic workers or protesting tuition increases when no mention is made of the need to free the hundreds of women who are the slave-prostitutes of human traffickers....

Regarding the Fall 2011 President's Page, I also get those same two questions ("What is the relationship between Barnard and Columbia?" and "Why does anyone still needa women's college?"). I have pulled out the pages and can now send them to anyone who asks. Barnard was enormously helpful in recognizing my special gifts and talents, taking me seriously, and nurturing me in a non-competitive-with-males environment. I am now a leader, teacher, performing artist, minister, wife, great-grandmother, and entrepreneur thanks to the unique four years at Barnard. Vive la différence!

I recently attended an "event" that took place at the "Event Oval" in The Diana Center.
The Diana Center was constructed on the site of the McIntosh Center. I was shocked that President McIntosh's name was not preserved for the new building.
A "terrace" was given the name of President McIntosh. I saw no sign locating that "terrace." In the least, the no-named Event Oval—the auditorium—should be named for President MacIntosh. That is the least tribute that the Barnard College of today may do to honor her name.

We misspelled the name of Larissa McDonogh-Wong '15 on page 28 of the Fall 2011 issue. We also incorrectly identified Sharon Fingerer-Goldman '93 on page 30. We regret the errors.

Over time some League of Legends players experience seemingly random drops in frame rates. Although the reasons vary greatly, here are a few of the most common issues: a patch installs incorrectly or implements a new rendering technique, a new piece of software is slowing down your system or you are in need of a driver update. Troubleshooting FPS Problems Symptoms: Game appears choppy Screen freezes for small periods of time FPS in upper left-hand corner is lower than 24 Latency problems commonly mistaken for FPS issues Game delays or stops receiving input Champion appears to teleport around the map Game runs in fast motion You can troubleshoot latency problems in the guide here. Solutions: [Emergent Issue] Riven Patch - September 15th Some players have noticed a dramatic reduction in frame rate since our latest patch with Riven. We are looking into possible causes and fixes for this but there are a few workarounds that you can use while we track down this bug. Many players have been able to remedy this problem by doing one of the following as a temporary workaround: Set LolClient.exe to "Low Priority" after logging in At the start of each game set "League of Legends.exe" to High Priority You can view a guide on modifying your priority here. Alt-Ctrl-Del at the beginning of the game and close LolClient.exe Warning: This closes the PVP.Net chat and require you to re-login after the game is over While these are two common solutions for players experiencing problems with the latest patch, the following will also likely help boost your FPS even higher. Update video card drivers [#1 Solution] Manufacturers of video and graphics cards frequently release bug fixes and optimizations for their cards. These optimizations come in the form of drivers which you can download from the manufacturer. This subject is so important that I have written an entire guide on this subject located here. Although this section of the guide is short, getting the most updated proper drivers for your system is the single most important thing to you can do to improve your framerate. Change game settings [#2 Solution] The Video options you choose in game have a large affect on your FPS. By selecting less complicated video rendering you can improve your FPS. To access these options once in-game press ESC and select Video. You can view a detailed description of these settings at the bottom of this guide. Settings for best performance: Settings: Custom Resolution: Match desktop resolution Character Quality: Very Low Environment Quality: Very Low Effects Quality: Very Low Shadows: No Shadow Fast Terrain: Unchecked Frame Rate Cap: Benchmark, 25 FPS or Stable (depending on hardware) Wait for Vertical Sync: Unchecked or Checked (depending on hardware) To make this easier for you we have added a file that will pre-set these options by replacing it with the file in this directory: game.cfg C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\release s\"latest version"\deploy\DATA\CFG Tune-up your PC: Like a car, there are small things that each person should do to keep their PC in tip top shape. When you have FPS issues doing a tune up is one of the easiest ways to increase performance. Many of these tasks can be performed by free software packages. I will note several times during this section of the guide that the software is created by a 3rd party and Riot Games cannot be held responsible for its use. This isn't meant to scare you away from the software, simply to inform you that we are not the makers of the software and do not support it. I always post these links with their full URL. Scan for malware: Malware builds up on players systems. Usually it is installed without the users permission and is intended to steal personal data. There are many free scanners on available on the internet for home use(they make money selling premium versions). Although we have no affiliation and can't be held responsible for the software we recommend Malware Bytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/ It is a good idea to remove software such as Microsoft Security Essentials or Spybot Search and Destroy. These applications remove malware but also have a real-time protection component that slows down many systems. In many cases, they end up doing more harm than good. Uninstall unused programs: Many times players install programs to either try them out or use them for a specific purpose. Often, we forget to remove such programs. Please take the time to go through your Add/Remove program list to remove any unwanted or unused programs. Doing so will free up more system resources for the game to use. If you are unfamiliar with uninstalling programs in Windows feel free to reference this guide(on a 3rd party site): http://kb.iu.edu/data/aixt.html Modify graphics card software settings Nvidia comes with the Nvidia Control Panel and ATI comes with the Catalyst Control Center. Both of these programs allow users to set up graphics profiles that can interfere with the FPS of League of Legends. Many times this can occur after a driver or windows update. Please read this guide on how to return them to the proper settings. http://support.leagueoflegends.com/entries/234286-graphics-troubleshooting [Windows Vista or Windows 7 Users]Disable Aero Aero is a new feature of Vista and Windows 7. It included many new advancements in the Windows GUI. Including: transparent windows, Win Key + Tab option and window transitions. Unfortunately all these new features tend to slow your computer down. Aero tends to especially have a negative impact on netbooks or laptops. To Disable Aero: Start > Search "Aero" > Windows Color and Appearance > Advanced appearance settings... > Select non-Aero theme. Repairing corrupt game files Occasionally FPS problems can be caused when certain game files become corrupt. For this reason, using the repair function in the Patcher is a good idea if you begin to experience problems with the in-game FPS. To run the repair function: Run League of Legends Click on the button with a gear near the top of the window. Click Repair. Wait. The repair function can take anywhere from 5 minutes to over 30 depending on the number of corrupt files it has to repair(redownload). Set Windows to best performance Older systems may not be able to render the advanced graphical features of Windows and those of League of Legends at the same time. You can turn off many of these advanced graphical features provided by Windows to improve your system performance. While older machines will see the most benefit even relatively modern PCs may see a performance increase by changing this setting. Instructions: Right-click Computer Select Properties Select Advanced System Settings Select the Advanced tab Click Settings under Performance Select the Adjust for best performance radial Move to the Advanced tab Select the Adjust for best performance of: Programs radial Remove Resource hogs Every PC has a limited number of resources. Each program takes up RAM and CPU time. If you have many programs running they will use resources that could otherwise be used by League of Legends to speed up the game. Common Resource Hogs Anti-Virus: Norton, Symantec, Kapersky, McAffee, AVG Browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome Chat programs(especially video chat): Skype, MSN Messenger Bloat ware: This is software installed on your computer by default. Most of it provides no value and simply consumes resources Check for heat issues Does the game work fine for a game or two and then start to slow down? The most likely cause is your graphics card overheating. There are a few things you can do to make sure you graphics card does not overheat. Buy a laptop cooler. These can be purchased for about $20 at your nearest computer supply shop. They are simply external fans that can be plugged into a wall outlet or USB drive depending on the model. They are very effective at keeping laptops cool. Clean any vents or fans with compressed air. Often older machines get their fans clogged with dust, dirt and hair. Cleaning the vents and fans of your PC will improve airflow and make your machine at a lower temperature. Advanced Solutions Clean your registry: Each time a program installs it makes modifications to the system registry. Overtime, the registry can become bloated. Usually this is not a problem but it is an easily resolved problem. Again, there are many free programs available on the internet. Our personal recommendation is CCleaner. This program is neither created nor endorsed by Riot Games and we cannot be responsible for its actions. Free Download Link: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard Defrag your hard disk drive: Hard drives work like filing cabinets. When you constantly add and remove files from them they become disorganized and it is more difficult for your computer to locate the correct file. In fact, files are sometimes split into small pieces and scattered among the drive. To resolve this problem you need to de-fragment your main hard disk. Here is a guide by Microsoft to performing this on a windows machine: http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#3 Detailed settings descriptions: You will notice each card has Best Performance/Visuals categories as well as balanced. Balanced are the settings that I have found work well with most Dedicated Graphics cards such as the Nvida Geforce 6800 or better. Resolution: Best Performance: Match desktop resolution or 1024 x 768 Best Visuals: Highest available that matches the aspect ratio of your monitor. Balanced: Match desktop resolution This is the number of pixels you will render on the screen. 1024 x 768 is 750,000 pixels. However 1920x1080 is over 2 million. Character Quality: Best Performance: Very Low Best Visuals: Very High Balanced: Medium This is the quality of the models that are rendered in game. By lowering this setting the game uses lower poly models. Environment Quality: Best Performance: Very Low Best Visuals: Very High Balanced: High This affects the quality of the terrain in the game. Higher settings add details such as blades of grass, flowers, mushrooms, lamp posts and other such flourishes to the map. Effects Quality: Best Performance: Very Low Best Visuals: Very High Balanced: High This affects the quality of the spells and abilities in the game. Lower settings restrict the number of particles rendered by each spell or ability cast. Shadows: Best Performance: No Shadows Best Visuals: Very High Balanced: No Shadows This affects the quality of the shadows on the characters and towers. Lower quality results in jaggy or non-existent shadows. Higher quality creates smoother shadows. Fast Terrain: Best Performance: Unchecked Best Visuals: Unchecked Balanced: Unchecked Fast terrain is an option that may boost performance on older cards. However, it disables the zoom feature of the game, changes the camera angle and can result in a few graphical artifacts. For example: Fog of War may update late, buildings may disappear, trees and other parts of the terrain may appear black. Frame Rate Cap: Best Performance: Benchmark, Stable, 25FPS Best Visuals: Benchmark Balanced: Stable League of Legends is capped at 100 frames per second. Benchmark allows League of Legends to run at max frame rate. However, choosing stable or 25 FPS may produce a more consistent FPS on older graphics cards. Wait for Vertical Sync: Best Performance: Unchecked (for most cards) Best Visuals: Checked Balanced: Unchecked This option restricts League of Legends frames to your monitor refresh rate(usually 60HZ). Some graphics cards flourish with this setting but many can generate higher FPS with it off. Leaving the option off may produce tearing on your screen where a shifted line appears in the middle of your screen. For the best visuals you should leave it on.
Oak and Aspen
This should be bumped because the fps drop is still lingering
First Person shooter?
Ocean God
This man deserves some upvotes for his effort.
Close LolClient.exe save my life.
Yeah, setting your "LolClient.exe" Priority to "Low" is NOT A GOOD IDEA. If you do that, then it will sometimes crash your game :\ It kinda sucks.

That's why you should have a circle of audience.
You may wonder how other people make their blog successful even if their language is not that good. It's because they deliver their lanuguage that their audience understand. You don't have to be super expert on the international language, just the basic is fine. What more important is what you can offer to your readers.
So you don't have to use words that are hard to understand just to make yourself look smart or expert. Expertism is based on the experience that you have.

After a brief flirtation with the 70 degree mark Tuesday, much chillier weather will return to Acadiana for the rest of the week.
High pressure will build in the wake of Tuesday's low pressure system bringing mostly sunny skies, breezy and cool conditions for our Wednesday.
The coldest air will arrive Wednesday night into Thursday morning with readings likely near the freezing mark.
Clouds will likely return Thursday keeping the winter chill locked in the region with highs only in the lower 40s.
There remains a fair bit of uncertainty concerning the precipitation chances Thursday into Friday as models have been completely at odds. Some models are cold and dry, while others not as cold and wetter.
If precipitation does develop for Thursday and/or Friday there is a very slight risk of some sleet mixed in with the onset of development...but it appears that surface temperatures in Acadiana and aloft would not favor anything significant at this time.
So the forecast will call for lots of clouds and cold conditions to finish the week with the risk of some chilly light rain possible.
There will likely be changes in the forecast Thursday and Friday but the most likely scenarios will be either cold and drier, with light freezes Thursday & Friday mornings, or wetter with temperatures staying above freezing zone.

Before DC got another bright idea with their DC Gondola HI Boots, a gondola was just one of those little boats that took you around Italy while a crooner hit on you. But with these women''s Gondola boots from DC, the word may instead be associated directly with footwear. That''s because DC put a lot into these boots in order to make them stylish and comfortable. Featuring a strong textile upper and vulcanized construction, these boots are great for trudging through the snow and for other wintertime activities. They''re also extremely plush and comfortable, meaning you can wear them all day without having to worry about blisters.
