IHT: Cambodian court fails to deliver justice for Khmer Rouge victims and families. CSM: New START treat would improve US-Russian ties. Newsweek: Turkey begins to follow an East European model.
The US economy shows signs of recovery
Timothy F. Geithner, secretary of the US Treasury, writes in the New York Times that despite the high unemployment in the United States, the economy is on the path back to recovery. He argues that business investment and consumption are getting stronger, and these are key to increasing private demand.
QUOTE :The combined effect of government actions taken over the past two years — the stimulus package, the stress tests and recapitalization of the banks, the restructuring of the American car industry and the many steps taken by the Federal Reserve — were extremely effective in stopping the freefall and restarting the economy.
Fears grow that China's real estate bubble may burst
Wieland Wagner writes in Der Spiegel that more economists fear China faces a real estate bubble that may soon burst. Real estate prices declined in June in 70 Chinese cities, and the national economy saw a decline in growth. A real estate crisis would deeply impact local governments, which have borrowed from banks on the belief that land value would always increase.
QUOTE: The imminent bubble is already affecting the rest of the world. The strong demand in China's voracious construction industry has also led to sharp rises in the prices of commodities like aluminum, iron and copper.
Britain must decide its global role before making defense cuts
Columnist Philip Stephens writes in the Financial Times that Britain should decide what threats the nation faces and how it wants to handle them. The government should make strategic decisions concerning its future role in the world before making defense budget cuts.
QUOTE: The defense review might have aligned a rather more modest set of strategic aspirations with the right resources. Instead, the government looks unlikely either to surrender any of Britain's global pretensions or to be willing to pay for them.
Cambodian war court fails to deliver justice
Kuong Ly, an LLM candidate in International Human Rights Law at the University of Essex, writes in the International Herald Tribune that many of those who were victims or whose families were personally affected by the Khmer Rouge felt outrage at the verdict in the Cambodian war crimes court last week. The piece argues that the sentence for Kaing Guek Eav was too light and did not deliver justice.
QUOTE: No verdict will heal the pain. But for survivors, victims and their families, this verdict was simply not good enough. We may have to accept that the international community denied us — and those we lost — a sense of closure.
Obama's legislative successes fuel the opposition
Robert B. Reich, former US secretary of Labor, writes in the Wall Street Journal that President Obama's legislative successes have been significant enough to fuel the Republicans and his opposition as they gear up for the November elections, but not big enough to provide support for the Democrats. This happened with the stimulus package, the bailout of Wall Street and health care reform.
QUOTE: The health-care law, too, is big enough to have unleashed fierce attacks about a "takeover" of the health-care sector. But it's not nearly large or bold enough to assure most people truly affordable care in the future.
China's floods cause $30 billion in losses but offer new opportunities
Senior reporter Olivia Chung writes in the Asia Times that China's worst floods in a decade have killed up to 1500 people and caused almost $30 billion in economic losses. However, certain sectors such as cement and reconstruction, food and medicine will create investment opportunities after the flooding.
QUOTE: When the waters recede, benefits from the flooding will flow to the likes of Fujian Cement and Taiwan Cement, which expect demand to surge as reconstruction of houses, bridges, irrigation conduits and other infrastructure gets underway.
New START treat would improve US-Russia ties
An editorial in the Christian Science Monitor argues that if the US Senate ratifies the New START agreement on nuclear arms, the treaty would open up new possibilities for improved relations between the United States and Russia. It could lead to progress on European missile defense and other stalled security issues.
QUOTE: As the US moves closer to elections, this treaty could get sidelined by partisan politics and a full legislative calendar. That must not be allowed. This issue is core to a "reset" in US-Russia relations and to Mr. Obama's goals on nuclear nonproliferation.
Turkey begins to follow an East European model
Soner Cagaptay and David Pollock, senior fellows at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, write in Newsweek that Turkey is not looking East as many pundits have assumed. Rather, Turkey is looking West and heading toward an East European model of the 1940s. They argue that Turkey will use elections as a means to subvert democracy.
QUOTE: During the eight years of [Islamist Justice and Development (AKP)] rule, the party's rhetoric has significantly shaped majority opinion. More than 90 percent of Turks read and write only Turkish, and rely on Turkish media sources now either intimidated by or controlled outright by the AKP.
Lower US unemployment with special infrastructure projects
William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, writes in the New Republic that the United States should reduce its unemployment problem by investing in infrastructure projects. These projects should rely on increased user fees like tolls, have subsidies based on a project's individual economics, and be chosen on economic rather than political grounds.
QUOTE: Projects selected and funded in the manner I've sketched would help build the economy for the long-term at minimum cost to taxpayers while creating large numbers of new jobs that can only be performed here in the United States.
A German should not head the European Central Bank
David Marsh, chairman of SCCO International, writes in the Financial Times that a German should not become the next head of the European Central Bank. He argues that this would increase the north-south divisions in Europe. Instead, the position should be given to a country with a weaker economy.
QUOTE: It would be an act of statesmanship for German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Nicolas Sarkozy to announce in the next few weeks that a decision will be made in summer 2011 – and that the new ECB chief will come from neither of the eurozone's largest two countries.

lost weekend +
I was doing so well with posting again and then I got the flu. I haven't even had a cold for something like 10 years so it's been particularly unpleasant. High fever, chills, headache, the works. It's now Day 5 and I'm just starting to feel better, although still very drained of energy. I don't usually get a flu shot, and, with this new strain of flu, I'm not sure it would have mattered anyway, but I'm seriously rethinking that. You forget how bad it can be. So, all is well—I'm on the mend and will be back soon.

Sorry to hear you are ill with the flu. The flu shot is imperative and would have prevented your flu. It is also good to have it for a variety of other reasons as well - one passing the flu onto less healthy people who may not being able to fight it off and your suceptability to other strains that this shot would have prevented as well. Mark it on your calender for next year without fail. Get well soon. Look forward to your posts. Lauren

I read with interest the article "Missing from the Indian newsroom" (April 9) and the letters that followed. Undoubtedly, Dalits need support from the rest of society. At the same time, Dalits and the organisations advocating their cause need to do some soul searching. Why do educated Dalits distance themselves from their own brethren once they reach a level? Dalits are constantly told that the other communities have cheated them over the centuries and it is now their turn to assert themselves. This is far from the truth. Every community has worked its way up. Let us stop blaming other sections for poor Dalit representation in many fields. Instead, let us study the pattern of development among Dalits and its impact on lesser privileged Dalits who still live in sub-human conditions.
R. Kalyanaraman,
Robin Jeffrey has concluded that Dalits are missing from Indian newsrooms based on serious research. If similar research is undertaken in other areas, we will find that Dalits are missing from many fields. Equality and fraternity are fancy words for them. Almost all sectors have kept them out. India has a huge private sector thriving on financial and non-financial help from the state. But Dalit entry into it is still a mirage for want of political will and courage. In all big industries, recruitment is based on the so-called merit of "our own boys." Most Dalits are landless agricultural workers, traditionally bonded to upper caste landlords. They are scattered by caste, language and dialects unknown to one another. So the unification of Dalits is practically impossible. They remain silent spectators of their own destructive destiny.
A.K. Rajan,

Chromecast devices may soon be able to play local media thanks to PlexMedia Server. According to reports there are hints of Chromecast support coming to Plex.
A redditor who goes by the handle jporn1 discovered an xml file in Plex, which hinted at the ongoing work to bring support for Chromecast.
He wrote:
So I was poking around the Plex install of my synology nas, and I found a Chromecast.xml file. All the files in this folder defined playback capabilities for devices. I'm glad to see they're working on it!
Though Plex never made any public announcements around Chromecast, but the company did acknowledge that there is a lot of interest in Chromecast and Plex.
The company tweeted after the launch of Chromecast.
Wow, lots of interest in Chromecast and Plex. Yes, we've ordered a few of them
— Plex (@plexapp) July 24, 2013
When Google launched Chromecast a lot of users expected that it would be able to play local content, though it never made any statements about playback of local content.
It was quite clear that Chromecast was a device to bring more online content to Google's platforms – it was never meant to become a cheap DLNA player. Google has succeeded in getting some of the major players including Netflix, Hulu and more. Now the company is letting more developers to write their apps for the device. The company will run a hackathon this week to show the Google Cast API to developers and get more apps to support the device.

Finally finished ,this took way longer than expected .
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Even though it wasnt in the manga, super saiyan 4 form was designed by Akira Toriyama after what 'he' said would be a super saiyan 4 form.
GT wasnt his idea. But he was involved in it.
The only ones who dont want to recognize it as original are the fans.
Oh and also, super saiyan 3 didnt take forever to reach. That was only in the anime. In the manga he did it right away. He just couldnt hold the form for long because it wasted an extreme amount of energy.
Anyway nice animation.
The plot sucked though. I understand and enjoy the fight with superman, but superman destroying earth? Yeah right.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is flipping hilarious made me laugh for about half an hour and it takes a lot to make me do that. I've always wondered about the blowing up the planet thing and the Human baby was also a nice touch.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
im gonna blow up the planet im gonna blow up the well im gonna blow up the planet
Rated 5 / 5 stars
HILARIOUS AFTER GOKU USES KAMEHAMEHA xD anyway EPIC glad u did this. the rest were boring xD
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Love the Loading bar for SSJ3, it took ages for Goku to reach it first time... and second time... and third and forth and so on. Anyways... Why did he say that SSJ4 wasn't "Official"? So far as I know, Akira Toriyama made it official, perhaps not the name but the form is atleast official.
But my point beeing that this video is great to watch even tho I still don't know who Superman suddenly wanted to go all bad unless he was in contact with some sort of red kryptonite.
ssj4 wasn't in the original manga ,whole gt wasn't in the manga and not created by akira toriyama.

I recently changed my Power Supply (PSU) and also my CPU Cooler thinking will stop a clicking noise that is coming inside my computer. But amazingly clicking noise still there not often but still annoying! I really don't know what to do next...? If you need more information please let me know and please help me! :) asked Oct 05 '12 at 00:21 Franky Juarez |
A classic case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'! Occasional clicks and ticks are all entirely normal. Persistent (as in all day, every day) or very loud noises, screams, grindings, and creaks should always be investigated thoroughly but the odd click? answered Oct 05 '12 at 08:44 dunfiddlin |
It's probably coming from your hard drive. They start making noises like that before they fail. You could just listen and find out exactly where it's coming from. Take the components out and make yourself a little test bench on an open desk. Then just listen to every component till you find which one is the culprit. It's either a fan or a hard drive, not much else is really moving around to make clicking noises. answered Oct 05 '12 at 10:08 IamTechCrazy |

While many of the various regulatory changes that have been made to the derivatives industry in the last several years have been well-received by industry participants such as exchanges, one area that these entities have protested is the capital charges that Basel III have set forth for trades of the securities.
This is a less-visible aspect of the global regulatory regime for the world's banks, as much attention has been brought to the capital requirements specified and the timeline that will be used for implementing them.
The key importance of these particular facets is illustrated by the decision that the Basel Committee made earlier in the year to permit lending institutions to use a greater range of securities when fulfilling the liquidity capital ratio requirement.
Lately, exchanges have been voicing their opposition to the capital charges that derivatives will face under the regime, as industry participants believe that these will make trading the securities overly costly, according to Financial News.
Since a larger share of the world's derivatives contracts will be required to be traded through exchanges and also cleared centrally, market participants who want to use them to hedge will have to worry about fulfilling margin requirements. Under Basel III, banks trading derivatives to represent customers will have to pay an additional charge.

Spurs in command
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs are on the doorstep of going to the NBA Finals.
The Spurs won their second straight overtime game and took a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals by dominating the extra five-minute period and beating Memphis 104-93 on the Grizzlies' home floor.
Tim Duncan scored the first five points of overtime, and the San Antonio Spurs rallied from an 18-point deficit. Duncan finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. The Spurs fell behind early 19-5 but came on strong when it counted. They hit their first five shots in overtime, outscoring the Grizzlies 18-7 in OT.
The Spurs can wrap up the series with a victory in Game 4 Monday night in Memphis. San Antonio now has won five straight postseason games.
Bruins in Eastern Conference final...Blackhawks stay alive
UNDATED (AP) — Tuukka Rask (TOO'-kah rask) stopped 28 shots, Gregory Campbell scored twice and the Boston Bruins beat the New York Rangers 3-1 in Game 5 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
Recent call-up Torey Krug scored his fourth goal of the series for Boston, which reached the third round of the NHL playoffs for the second time since 1992. The other was 2011, when the Bruins won the sixth Stanley Cup in franchise history.
The Bruins will face the Pittsburgh Penguins for the right to play for the Stanley Cup.
The Chicago Blackhawks are still alive after whacking Detroit 4-1 in a must-win game for the Blackhawks. Andrew Shaw had two goals for his first career multi-goal playoff game. That cuts the Red Wings' lead in this Western Conference semifinal to 3-2. Game 6 is back in Detroit on Monday.
Report: League has deal to deal Phoenix team
PHOENIX (AP) — The NHL has approved the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to a group of Canadian-led investors.
Two people familiar with the deal tell The Associated Press that the deal is contingent on the group reaching a lease agreement with the city of Glendale, Ariz. They said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, deputy commissioner Bill Daly and the prospective buyers will meet with Glendale officials on Tuesday for talks on a lease.
The NHL bought the Coyotes out of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2009 and has tried without success to find a buyer who would keep the team in Glendale.
Mauer not winning any popularity contest in Motown
UNDATED (AP) — Joe Mauer homered and had three hits, helping the Minnesota Twins snap a 10-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
Mauer had already earned the ire of Detroit fans when he broke up Anibal Sanchez's no-hit bid in the ninth inning Friday night. He was booed when came to bat in the first inning Saturday — then booed some more after his solo homer to right field.
The Twins scored three runs in the first, and that was enough. P.J. Walters to earn his first victory.
In other baseball:
— Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs, Mark Ellis lined a go-ahead double in the sixth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated St. Louis 5-3 to snap the Cardinals' three-game winning streak.
— Todd Frazier drove in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a single, and the Cincinnati Reds used another big inning to beat the Chicago Cubs 5-2 for their fifth straight victory.
— Angel Pagan (pah-GAHN') hit a game-ending two-run inside-the-park home run to give the San Francisco Giants a 6-5 win over Colorado.
— Lyle Overbay homered with two outs in the 11th inning, and the New York Yankees rallied past the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3.
— Atlanta beat the New York Mets 7-5 in 10 innings of a game suspended from the night before. Dan Uggla hit an RBI single in the 10th inning. The Braves blanked the Mets 6-0 in the regularly scheduled game. Pitcher Mike Minor homered and also struck out 10.
— The Angels are hot and the Royals are not. In Kansas City the Angels beat the Royals 7-0 giving L.A. a seven-game winning streak. During the streak the Angels have dominated opponents, outscoring them by a combined 54-18. The slumping Royals have lost 15 of 19, including seven straight at home. They have scored three runs or fewer in 12 of those defeats.
— In Toronto the Orioles won for the fourth time in five games with a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. Danny Valencia hit a two-run homer and Adam Jones added a solo shot for the Orioles.
— Pinch-hitter Mike Carp drove in the tying run with an eighth-inning double and then scored on a double by Dustin Pedroia (peh-DROY'-uh) as the Red Sox rallied for a 7-4 victory over Cleveland.
— Pittsburgh whacked Milwaukee 5-2. Pedro Alvarez hit two home runs, and Andrew McCutchen also went deep.
— Conor Gillaspie hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning to score Dewayne Wise, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 win over Miami.
— Philadelphia trimmed Washington 5-3. Delmon Young singled home the go-ahead run in a two-run eighth inning rally off Drew Storen for the Phils.
— San Diego worked over Arizona 10-4. Everth Cabrera homered for the second straight night for the Padres.
— Texas downed Seattle 5-2. Nelson Cruz hit his 12th homer for the AL West-leading Rangers, who've won three in a row.
— Josh Donaldson had four hits and the Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros 11-5.
Kuchar has lead
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Matt Kuchar (KOO'-char) has the lead after three rounds of the PGA's Colonial. He shot a 1-under-69 to finish 11-under par. Four players are in the clubhouses at 10-under. The group includes Chris Stroud, Matt Every, Boo Weekley and Graham DaLaet.
Moreno has the two round lead
PARADISE ISLANDS, Bahamas (AP) — Paola Moreno of Colombia played another bogey-free round on a 12-hole golf course and takes a one-shot lead in the Bahamas LPGA Classic.
Moreno has a one-shot lead over Lindsey Wright. Cristie Kerr was among 10 players within three shots of the lead, though they won't have as many holes to make up ground.
Because of flooding on the Ocean Club earlier in the week, the tournament is three rounds of 12 holes. The goal is to get in 36 holes by today to make it official.
Perry takes lead
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kenny Perry had an eagle, five birdies and four bogeys, in shooting a 3-under 68 and has a two-stroke lead after the third round of the Senior PGA Championship.
The 52-year-old Perry is trying for an elusive first major championship. He has a two-shot lead over two-time champion Jay Haas. Lefty Russ Cochran was three strokes back
Rosberg has the pole
MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) — The most glamorous event on the Formula 1 circuit is today in Monte Carlo and Nico Rosberg will start from the pole. It's the Monaco Grand Prix (pree) and Rosberg finished ahead of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying. Three-time defending series champion Sebastian Vettel was the third fastest qualifier with Red Bull teammate Mark Webber fourth.
This is the legendary race that runs through the streets of the city.
Kyle Busch wins Nationwide in Carolina
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch raced to his sixth Nationwide Series victory of the season and record seventh career win at the 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway. He also was Truck Series winner at the track last week, his fifth victory in that circuit at Charlotte.
On Sunday, he looks to make it a clean sweep of all three series events with a win in the Coca-Cola 600. Denny Hamlin is the pole-sitter today.
Race comes to an end
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Marathon is over. It came to an end Saturday morning. About 3,000 runners and bombing victims gathered in light rain to run the final mile of the world's oldest annual marathon, according to the spokeswoman for those organizing the event known as OneRun. Kathleen McGonable said OneRun honored victims and emergency workers and allowed runners to reclaim the final mile.
Duke-Syracuse final
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (AP) — David Lawson scored the winning goal with 6:35 left in the fourth quarter to lift Duke to a 16-14 victory against Cornell in the NCAA lacrosse semifinals at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday. It's the first time Duke's been in the NCAA lacrosse final since 2010 when the Blue Devils won their only national title.
Duke advances to Monday's championship to play Syracuse, which eliminated Denver 9-8.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com High hopes: Wildcats hungry for playoff success
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
DURHAM — The momentum was building.
"It fuels your fire," said senior safety Manny Asam, "because you were that close. We've been that close for nine years. There comes a point when you've got to put a stop to it and take it to the next level. "It hurts," Asam added, "but you've got to put that behind you and look forward to the next season, and this is the season we're going to try and get that done." It's been three years since the Wildcats have reached the quarterfinals. Although they've been one of the most consistent programs in the country for the better part of a decade, they've never gotten past the quarters. They will try to snap that dubious streak this season. The Wildcats opened training camp Saturday and held their first two workouts over the weekend. They also practiced on Sunday. "The five years I've been here those first two days were probably the best first two days we've had," Asam said. "That's big for us. It shows that people are excited about the season. That's means they're ready to play hard and they're ready to win games."
Although the season is still a month away the Wildcats have received respect in the preseason polls. They're picked to finish third in the CAA and they're ranked eighth nationally.
The Wildcats will have plenty of ammunition on offense. They return most of their skill-position players, including their top seven rushers and all but one of their top 12 receivers.
Junior Shane McNeely and sophomore Akil Anderson have the most experience at the position. McNeely had 33 tackles in 12 games a year ago with a sack and a fumble recovery. |

My attendance a few weeks ago at the strange 4-day escape from reality called Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival marked my fifth year at the event. Early on every year the same doubtful thought runs through my mind: Why do I continue year after year to put myself through this? Sometime between my first use of the less than gleaming porta-potties and the realization that yes, I would indeed be this sweaty and disheveled for the next four days, that moment of panic comes.
A Spring Break Playlist to Get You Excited for Coachella/Bonnaroo
Alright, so maybe Bonnaroo and Coachella are a bit far off in the future, but it's never too late to get excited about their imminent arrivals! With Elton John, Kanye West, and Jack White headlining Bonnaroo; Outkast, Muse, and Arcade Fire headlining Coachella, and many more amazing musicians/bands showcasing their talents at the two festivals, there is much about which to be excited. Bonnaroo is a little more than 100 days away; Coachella is just 40 days away; and spring break 2014 is happening right now. As many people are parading off to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the beach for a week of relaxation and wild festivities, I'm sure they would appreciate a playlist to get them to where they're going and make their trips more enjoyable. So, wherever you're going for spring break, whether flying out or road tripping, or simply going home for some much-needed R&R after a stressful week of midterms, here is a playlist of catchy tunes by some of the artists who will be performing at this year's Bonnaroo and Coachella to spice up your spring break!
Life On The Farm: Bonnaroo Lineup Analysis
The Coachella lineup gave us a taste of festival season. For Vandy students, a quality Rites lineup with heavy-hitting headliners kept the hype train rolling. And last night's Bonnaroo lineup announcement after a mid-February day that felt like mid-spring has me feeling like festivals should be starting tomorrow. Bonnaroo, a four-day music festival that is among the nation's best, is only a one hour drive from Vandy's campus in Manchester, TN. It is a must-go for anyone staying in the Nashville metro, and really the greater southeast United States, in the summertime (and a must-go for anyone with the necessary funds to travel from further away). True to its reputation, this year's lineup didn't disappoint, although it does come with one head-scratching omission.

It feels like its been ages since posts. There has been so much going on here in our household. My lucky Hubbie was sent overseas for a couple of weeks for work. Little S is suffering badly from not only teething but separation anxiety, now there's a phase i had completely forgotten about. The minute I'm not smiling at Miss S the crying begins. I know it's only a phase but it tends to get a little boring.
The other day I received the greatest surprise when I opened up my Toddler Tastes email account, there was a pile of recipes sent in from readers. I can't tell you how happy this made me. Thank you, that is what I wanted this blog to be about, Mums sharing recipes with each other.
So I'm back in the kitchen again and here's the first of many recipes. This was sent if from a friend of mine from my mothers group. Michelle sent this in as she used to eat this even before her beautiful daughter Alyssa came along. That's the great thing, this slice is great for both young and old.
As I have previously mentioned I've started a sugar free diet for a while. It was a strange experience for me to make a cake and not consume half the cake or slice before it has even been put into the oven. Once this came put of the oven I had the tiniest nibble and it was oh so good. Miss F absolutely loves it as well. I can't tell you how much I want to give up this diet so I can have a piece (obviously the withdrawal phase is still happening).
Thanks so much for this Michelle. I think this would be a great slice to make for a birthday party. It's one of the healthier slices going around.
Once again if you have recipe to send click here and for extra information, come to our facebook page.

Laminar Crystal Energy Devices
18.12.2012by Life Enthusiast Staff
Energized Water, Inside and Out...
Now at your reach, thanks to rediscovered ancient technology.
Laminar Crystals...
Improve the Hydrating Ability and Taste, of Foods and Liquids
Relieve Energy Blockages, Congestion and Pain
Stop and think about the energetic qualities of the food you eat and the water you drink. This is critically important for your cellular function, affecting every biological process in your body.
Water represents so much more than something to quench your thirst or wash your body. Good water is critically important to your well-being.
The story of laminar crystals starts in the 1960s, with several ancient artifacts being discovered in a cave, and later finding their way into the hands of Jim Carter, founder of Twilight America and inventor of the Star Chamber Spa and Factory. The artifacts have an amazing ability to improve the taste of liquids in which they are submerged, and to relieve energy blockages, congestion and pain.
Jim Carter spent over 25 years experimenting with materials found in nature, in his quest to reverse-engineer the ancient technology. His discovery ended a long series of dead-end experiments: natural mica crystals effectively duplicate the power and potency of the ancient artifacts. Jim began creating his experimental products in tiles, bowls and plates. He started calling the crystals "Laminar Crystals" because of their layered structure.
Jim Carter's great challenge in creating practical products was the difficulty in mixing the Laminar Crystals with potter's clay, so that his creations would not collapse before they dried. In the end he settled on making Crystal Pearls and Crystal Cupcakes: very simple shapes that could be successfully fired in a kiln. The firing (heating to a high temperature for a specific length of time) is a necessary component in the energetic activation of these crystals.
Fast forward several years: Brian and David Savedra, identical twins who spent many years researching subtle energies and energetic medicine, were introduced to Twilight America products and fell in love with the idea of restoring vitality to fluids (food, water, essential oils & skin care). Brian and David possess the right combination of patience and curiosity, and kept working for several years to develop a workable method of building ceramic objects, that deliver on the Laminar Crystal's promise - energized water, the water of life, the dew that restores vitality to all living things created in practical everyday objects.
The Magic Star
The shape of our Magic Star was inspired by Joe Crane's 2002 painting of Michael (left). In this painting, Michael's right hand holds a Star Octahedron. It's the shape of two four-sided pyramids, merged together, and made from special clay with high content of Laminar Crystal.
The Magic Star, Circle and Marble Pendants will energize the water in your body, removing distortions brought on by toxins and environmental stress. If you consider that your body is over 60% water, clearing out these distortions is an important aspect of your personal care. Maintaining high levels of energized water in your body will improve your cellular functioning, and prevent the accumulating effects of stress. Expect to alleviate stress related headaches, improve circulation, get better sleep, and enjoy more energy to live.
These devices create energized, thin and crisp tasting water, in just a few minutes. The water tastes sweeter, and feels round and smooth in your mouth. Expect bubbles to start forming in your water after just 10 minutes, indicating that this water has become highly energized. Use glass or glazed ceramic vessels to process your water.
Magic Star energy devices will make your ordinary water taste much better, but they are not water purification devices. We recommend that you drink filtered (and while fasting or detoxifying, distilled) water from the best source you can find.
We all know the effects of drinking badly structured, common tap water - dry papery skin, wrinkles, dandruff. And that's just on the outside. Your inside is suffering in similar ways. You need to hydrate your body by drinking structured, energized water. If you drink ordinary water, you body has to expend large amounts of energy to structure the liquid to be used in cellular fluids.
Magic Star will Energize your water, or your Money Back, Guaranteed.
Dave Savedra, maker of Magic Stars Shares his connection to the Laminar Crystals
In 2005 Joe Crane called to ask me a question regarding my acquaintance with Jim Carter, the man who popularized the Laminar Crystal and its use in water-altering products. Joe asked, "You know the man that makes the Laminar Clay?" I said yes we had spoken a number of times and I could get in touch with him. Joe then asked if I would find out how to make the clay. I told him he doesn't really give that info out but if you are asking me to find out how there is an angelic reason. He said yes there is. So I called and during my conversation with Jim I asked for the way to make the clay. He gave it to me and said he did not know why he was sharing this with me, he does not give that out to many people. We finished our chat and I called Joe back to inform him of what I had learned.
I wanted to create a Laminar Crystal device in the shape of the Star Octahedron that is in the painting of Michael that Joe painted in 2002. I felt that it would really enhance the power of the clay. We (my brother Brian and Joe) were correct, it does.
Joe also made a water diamond that instigated a visit with the angel Michael when we learned that the shape of the diamond would shorten the charging time from a whole day to just a few minutes. We also learned that the shape would make "dew". Dew is the pure form of water that condenses on cold surfaces early in the morning. It is water naturally distilled at room temperature, free of all previous memories otherwise stored in water.
After making the Star Octahedron we experimented and found that the Star enhanced the Laminar Crystal within. People wearing the crystal pieces have reported that just holding this Laminar technology is calming, centering, and clearing the mind.
Laminar Crystal Stars and Pendants can aid you on your path to healing or to enlightenment. They will last a lifetime and will not diminish.

Saturday's ride will be on a new route: Happy Valley. Expect temperatures in the low 60s for our 8 am start at the lake. Temperatures out on the Bears will climb throughout the morning, but by mile 42 we'll be enjoying cool bay breezes as we ride south along the bayfront.
All Riders gather at the Lake Merritt Children's Fairyland Parking Lot at 8:00 AM. Please be on time to greet new riders, organize into groups, and discuss the route prior to our departure at 8:20 AM
.All Riders climb Wildwood, then up Park Boulevard to Montclair Village. The route includes a traverse through Montclair and Lake Temescal Regional Park to get from Park Boulevard/Highway 13 over to Tunnel Road. After climbing Tunnel Road, we descend on the shoulder of Highway 24 from Fish Ranch Road to Orinda. There's a regroup across from the Orinda Theater; then we'll connect to the St. Stephens bike trail to Lafayette. At the end of the bike trail, we take the overcrossing of Highway 24 and continue east on El Nido Ranch Road.
Humane, Advanced Intermediate and Advanced Riders will turn left on Upper Happy Valley Road. After climbing Happy Valley Road and two of the Three Bears, the route continues on flat terrain to Pinole, then through North Richmond and Point Richmond, and then returns along the Bay Trail (same as the Point Pinole ride). However, this route follows the Bay Trail all the way to Emeryville and then returns via Shellmound, Mandela Parkway, and 28th Street through West Oakland back to the Lake.
Pedalfest is at Jack London Square 11 AM – 8 PM. Those wishing to attend Pedalfest after the ride may wish to continue down Mandela Parkway to reach Jack London Square.
Light Riders follow the same route to Lafayette, then link to the Lafayette-Moraga bike trail to Moraga and loop back to end at Orinda BART.
Route sheets are on this website. Suggestion: Print one out now and put it in your seat bag or with your gear so you don't forget to bring it.
Notes and cautions
There are a lot of turns on the route sheets. This will be frustrating if you are trying to follow a route sheet as you ride. Review the route sheet in advance and/or hang with riders who are familiar with the territory. The tough spots will likely be:
- Montclair Village to Lake Temescal Regional Park. A series of left turns keeps you rolling on quiet residential streets paralleling the east side of Highway 13.
- Downtown Orinda. St. Stephen's trail starts a block east of the Orinda Theater and parallels Highway 24.
- North Richmond. Go through downtown North Richmond on Fred Jackson Way, then follow a short bike trail that connects Castro Street under Richmond Parkway and heads you toward Point Richmond. You avoid riding on Richmond Parkway entirely.
- SF Bay Trail in Emeryville. The trail is on the sidewalk on the south side of Powell Street. Use the pedestrian crossings on the freeway entrances and Christie Avenue; then go through the 4 Seasons Hotel Parking Lot to reach the bike lane on Shellmound Street.
(Why a new route? At the "Future of the Club" meetings last winter, participants identified a need to have more LAKE rides and fewer AWAY rides. As all the Club LAKE routes are already on the calendar, the Ride Committee decided a new route should be created.)

It's something i've been trying to do for years, but finally I think (hope) i've cracked it. I am finding it very hard, and I'm eating alot more to compensate, but (fingers crossed) I think I've eventually been able to give up smoking.
To be honest I enjoyed smoking. See I'm already refering to it in the past tense! My girlfriend still smokes, which obviously doesn't make it any easier for me, but she is smoking less and has finally agreed to give up with me.
I might have been able to tempt Angela with the prospect of more money to buy more dresses, but my goals are more simple. I want to be able to run around more when I'm playing football and beat the time I got recently doing a 10k run. Because despite the fact I smoked, and used to be quite overweight, I've always been resonably fit. And doing the 10k run I wanted to be under an hour, but my final time was one hour an two minutes. I know that's close and not too bad a time, but I expected quicker and next time it will be!
So hopefully i'll be able to stay a non-smoker and Angela too, and I can tell you in another blog that I've done a 10k in under an hour.

Otters lose 7-0 on opening night
Otters Lose 7-0 on Opening Night
By: Mike Radomski
The Evansville Otters opened the season on Friday night and lost to the Normal CornBelters 7-0 at Bosse Field.
The season opening matchup was highlighted by a fine pitching performance from Normal starter Tyler Lavigne. The right-hander from Las Vegas, Nevada threw six shutout innings in his debut, limiting the Otters to just four hits in the CornBelters win.
Jason Roenicke started on the mound for Evansville and yielded a first inning run on a sacrifice fly by outfielder Phil Laurent.
The CornBelters rallied right back in the top of the second inning when the team tallied three more runs. The first four batters reached base in the inning including an RBI single from catcher Andrew Barbaro and a two-run single from infielder Eric Brown.
Daniel Cox added a three-run home run later in the game as Normal won their first game in the Frontier League.
Lavigne earns his first win of the season, striking out three batters in six scoreless innings. Jason Roenicke took the loss after allowing seven runs in five innings.
The Otters bullpen pitched four shutout innings including two from Chris Peters who struck out three batters without allowing a hit. Jared Simon followed that with two hitless innings as well.
Both teams will play again tomorrow night at Bosse Field in the second game of a three game weekend series. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM CST with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:20 PM on WUEV 95.1 FM.

Dozens of human cases infected with H7N9 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV) have been confirmed in China since March, 2013. Distribution data of sexes, ages, professions and regions of the cases were analyzed in this report. The results showed that the elderly cases, especially the male elderly, were significantly more than expected, which is different from human cases of H5N1 avian influenza and human cases of the pandemic H1N1 influenza. The outbreak was rated as a Grade III (severe) outbreak, and it would evolve into a Grade IV (very severe) outbreak soon, using a method reported previously. The H7N9 AIV will probably circulate in humans, birds and pigs for years. Moreover, with the driving force of natural selection, the virus will probably evolve into highly pathogenic AIV in birds, and into a deadly pandemic influenza virus in humans. Therefore, the H7N9 outbreak has been assumed severe, and it is likely to become very or extremely severe in the future, highlighting the emergent need of forceful scientific measures to eliminate any infected animal flocks. We also described two possible mild scenarios of the future evolution of the outbreak.

Hip Rotator Cuff
The latest Inner Circle webinar recording on the Hip Rotator Cuff is now available.
Hip Rotator Cuff
This month's Inner Circle webinar on the rotator cuff of the hip was great. We discussed how our knowledge of the hip has continued to increase over the last decade and has resulted in a much better understanding of how the hip is involved in the mechanics of the lower body and stabilization in multiple planes of motion. We then broke down the hip musculature as either prime movers or prime stabilizers, and discussed how different positions and exercises impact both of these different muscles groups.
If this sounds familiar, it is, we use the analogy of the shoulder to show the similarities between the hip and the shoulder.
To access the webinar, please be sure you are logged in and are a member f the Inner Circle program. If you are currently logged in, you will see the webinars below.

More than most manufacturers, Lenovo is focusing a great deal of energy on the tablet convertible form-factor. Interestingly, the company's legacy of X-series convertible Windows tablets, which have been around for many years now, may give the company an advantage over newcomers to a category that has been rapidly ignited by Asus' Transformer Prime.
The company attracted quite a bit of attention with the announcement of its IdeaPad Yoga–a Windows 8 tablet convertible that can be converted into four different positions thanks to a unique double hinge.
The IdeaPad S2110, however, raised our eyebrows even more. Also a convertible tablet, the Android-based S2110 allows users to quickly eject the screen from a keyboard dock, which immediately transforms into an iPad-sized 10-inch Android tablet.
The tablet's 1.5GHz CPU provided a nice, snappy feel as we browsed through various apps and home screens. Lenovo has also developed a custom "Mandarin" OS interface layer for Android that feels like a cross between Windows 8 and iOS, which features a series of active square tiles that provide access to apps as well as real-time information (if the apps support this).
The S2110 costs $399 for the tablet alone, and $549 for the tablet with the keyboard dock. IT buyers should take note that because this is an IdeaPad series device, it lacks the security- and IT-oriented features that the ThinkPad series and ThinkPad Tablet possess.
The ThinkPad keyboard has reached almost legendary status for professionals and corporate buyers. We're happy to say that, after spending 20 minutes experimenting with the keyboard in Lenovo's new line of convertibles, it's clear that the keyboard's best attributes remain intact. Also nice is the presence of the thumb-based mouse control.
Furthermore, Lenovo also told TabTimes that's its existing line of ThinkPad Tablet devices will receive Android's Ice Cream Sandwich update very soon. Furthermore, this update should grant a small speedboost to the platform, which has been dinged for less-than-stellar performance.
"Google is aware of the [performance] problems", Lenovo Worldwide Product Manager Richard LaBennett told TabTimes. "They're putting a lot of effort into improving performance."

Montecristo Platinum Habana #2 Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 6 of 6 reviews
"Sadly Dissapointed"
I purchased five of these and stored them in my Humidor for at least 2 months. The first cigar fell apart halfway thru the smoke...waited a few more months and smoked the 2nd and the outer leaf of the cigar fell apart before I was 1/3 of my way thru the smoke. I expected a lot better for a 1999 Vintage Cigar.
Mike in KC April 29, 2013
"Decent smoke but not on my wish list"
I have smoked two of these cigars in the past few months and have mixed feelings. The appearance is nice, draw is smooth and taste through most of the smoke is quite nice, but the burn is somewhat disappointing and the cigar loses much of its lustre after about 2/3 through.
Parker in December 20, 2011
"Perfect Smoke,"
Did they fail to mention vintage 1999? What an addition to the Humidor. Montecristo "can not go wrong"
Max in KC August 13, 2011
"Very niiiiice."
This had a very good flavor all around. The best Monte Cristo I have smoked so far. Vintage 1999 a good year.
Yoop in OKlahoma May 5, 2008
Smoked this one down to my fingers. Draw was perfect, burn consistent, taste was outstanding. I would put this cigar up against the cuban #2 any day of the week. I just wish it wasn't so pricey.
Jimmy G. in St. Louis December 31, 2003
"The BEST Cigar"
This is THE finest smoke I have ever had. #1 on my humidor list/ THe Peruvian tobacco really makes a difference in aroma, and taste.

Not known to purposely draw attention to himself, Leonardo DiCaprio once again headed out to Hollywood looking almost unrecognizable.
Sporting his signature baseball cap at Lure nightclub, the actor also displayed a full, grown-out beard, which could be for his upcoming role in Django Unchained.
According to an onlooker, DiCaprio showed up with a big group of people, including former Entourage star, Kevin Connolly.
Also showing up with a handful of folks on the same night was Amanda Seyfried, who seemed to be "enjoying herself," the source tells us, adding, "She was dancing and sat at one of the cabanas on the patio."

Describes the overall curve of the surfboard from nose to tail. On a modern surfboard, rocker can be broken down into two different sections: rail (which includes nose and tail curvature) and center (curvature of the middle of the board).
Increased nose rocker is usually attributed to boards shaped for bigger-wave surfing. More rocker in the nose allows for a shape that will not "pearl" or plunge into a large, steep wave face when you dropping in.
Increased tail rocker can be found in boards shaped for optimal maneuverability. A tail that bends off of the water's surface provides more lift and sensitivity in the tail for driving through radical turns.
Generally speaking, on your standard surfboard, less overall center rocker means the board will glide and paddle better and be more suitable for beginners. More rocker will accommodate intermediate and experienced surfers looking to use every area of the board in order to generate speed and turning power. Aggressive surfers may seek more rocker in their bigger wave boards because the curvature of the nose allows for late drops on consequential waves.

Accordion parade, pageant: Dyngus Day details
Queen to wear sausage crown and sash
CLEVELAND - Contestant names and details of the 2013 Cleveland Miss Dyngus Pageant have been announced.
The crowning of Miss Dyngus is scheduled to immediately precede the annual "march of the accordions," said to be the highlight of Cleveland Dyngus Day festivities.
Dyngus is an age-old Polish and Eastern European celebration held the Monday after Easter marking the end of Lent.
On Monday, April 1, the 2013 Miss Dyngus Pageant will be held at 4 p.m. at the Parkview Niteclub , 1261 W 58th Street, Cleveland, in Cleveland's near west side Detroit Shoreway neighborhood.
Pageant organizers told NewsChannel5 the winner will be selected at the time by the 2013 Cleveland Miss Dyngus committee with help from the attending audience.
After the crowning ceremonies, Miss Dyngus will lead the yearly march of the accordions parade up West 58th Street to Detroit Avenue, pushed by her admirers on a specially constructed rolling throne.
This year, inside a beer tent at that intersection, Miss Dyngus is expected to make her acceptance remarks while wearing her ceremonial sausage crown and sash.
Play the video clip to hear Dyngus Day committee member DJ Kishka announce the contestants in this year's competition.
According to organizers, Miss Dyngus finalists were chosen through an application and screening process.
Contestants are expected to be of Polish ancestry and be willing to wear a babushka and dance the polka.
Other preferred qualifications on the Miss Dyngus application form include the ability to quickly make pierogis and a love of piwo (Polish beer).
Miss Dyngus must also agree to the following terms, stated on the application form:
I do hereby agree to be available throughout the year to attend Dyngus Day functions and to exude the sweetness and cheeriness that only a Dyngus Day Queen can. I will also wear with pride the Miss Dyngus Day prestigious Sausage Crown and Sash whenever in public.

[GUIDE] Sumo Gragas: Tank/DPS/support Hybrid Build!
Alright. Sometimes I make a guide and I fill it with fluff. That is not this guide. I can assure you this build works in the hands of a skilled player. It will not stop Gragas from being a low-to-mid tier character overall, but it will arm you with the knowledge you need to do as well as a Gragas can expect to do. Straight to the meat this time, followed by some explanation:
Masteries: 0/21/9 (only important part is the 21 in defense) Runes: Flexible. Personally I use my caster runepage, which is Magic Pen Red, HP/Lvl Yellow, Ability Power/LvL blue, and Ability Power/LvL quintessences, which gives me: 51 Ability Power at lvl 18 162 health at lvl 18 8.5 magic pen If I had a solid armor pen or +damage rune page, I would attempt those instead and see how they go. As it is, Gragas has good AP ratios on Barrel Roll and Explosive Cask, so at lvl 18 the runes will provide around 100 extra damage between one usage of each. Fair enough. Summoner Spells: I use ghost and cleanse. This allows me to move in and out of battles extremely easily with body slam, and chase better than perhaps any character in the game besides Nidalee (And even that is questionable; Body Slam can go through walls, panther leap is too short to do that). Items: In order. . . Mana Sapphire + 2x health potion --> Sheen Boots of Speed --> Mercury Treads Leviathan Stinger Aegis of the Legion Sunfire Cape If the game goes on past then (most of the time you will get all of these somewhere between 30-40 minutes), upgrade the stinger to Nashor's Tooth and then the Sheen to a Trinity Force. You don't really have a whole lot of options after that point, I suppose you could sell the Aegis and get an item for whatever stat you need most in your specific game. To speed up the survivability component of this build, or if you prefer to accumulate Leviathan charges early, you can go: Mana Sapphire + 2x health potion --> Sheen Boots of Speed Leviathan - - then, upgrade boots to Mercury treads. As a poster pointed out, in a more organized team it is to your team's benefit to get an Aegis ASAP, in which case you might want to build it as your 4th item before stinger, or even before Levi. Skill Order: Body Slam Drunken Rage Body Slam Barrel Roll Body Slam Explosive Cask Body Slam Barrel Roll Body Slam . . . Then level up Explosive Cask first, Barrel Roll second, and Drunken Rage last. "But Reziel", you might say, "Why leave Drunken Rage at rank 1 when this build appears to want as much attack damage as possible?" Well, simple. The difference between ranks is so small compared to the benefit from upgrading Barrel Roll that it's not worth it. Higher ranks of barrel roll alongside rank 5 Body Slam gives you much, much more burst than an opponent might expect. Strategy: You start out the game playing fairly conservatively. Throw a body slam at an opponent who gets close without any apparent way to burst you down, but otherwise last hit and stay safe for a few levels. As soon as you get drunken rage, spam it to keep your mana and HP up (because of your passive). Body slam will deal more damage while you have drunken rage on, as well as (obviously) your auto attacks. Around lvl 4, if you see an opening, you and your lane partner should play aggressively. Body Slam with rage up, combined with ghost and melee-range barrel rolls between body slams, can very rapidly rack up damage on a target while keeping them snared for the majority of the time. Body Slam also makes Gragas much more mobile than most opponents suspect, able to rapidly engage combat from range. Body Slam can even be a good way to harass against melee enemies because then you can run away immediately afterward while they are snared. Lvl 6 is when you can begin to seriously rack up kills with good planning. People hanging out in their tower at half HP can be brought down with a well placed explosive cask, followed by a body slam at their landing spot and a barrel roll in the direction they will run. People who overextend into farming, or who are too close to your tower, can also be killed this way. The cask gives you significantly greater lane control, for however much longer the laning phase lasts in your game. Do not forget to help your teammates as you approach lvl 9-10. Body Slam is good damage output, but a constantly snared opponent is certain to die in a 2v1; nobody should be able to handle two opponents at once yet at this phase of the game. Grab Lizard or Golem whenever you get the chance if nobody on your team is getting them, or help a teammate by tanking it. Spamming body slam will kill them reasonably quickly. As the game progresses, make it a goal to avoid death whenever possible. Racking up leviathan charges should be a priority. Remember that assists give 2 charges just like a kill. You don't need to kill an enemy, just participate with a roll or a slam, so team fights that you survive should net you a few hundred more HP. By end game, you should be very difficult to kill, as well as supporting your team very well with frequent snares, moderate burst and damage, an ult that can turn the tide of a team battle, and your stunning good looks. Ideal end game scenario is a 20x stack leviathan. With all the items, you should have the following stat loadout: 3000+ HP 57-60% reduction to damage from armor/MR. Then. . . 26% reduction from Drunken Rage 15% reduction from Leviathan 4% from 21 point Defense mastery. And HP that should be regenerating at an additional pace of about 1% per second in combat due to constant ability usage and the passive. I believe that this scenario is one of the hardiest possible tanks in the game besides Alistar with his ult up, and you don't even need to buy all tank items to do it. IMPORTANT SKILLS TO PRACTICE AS GRAGAS: Body Slamming where you think the opponent will be, instead of where they are now. Moving at an angle from your opponent and then Body Slamming back in their direction, to avoid hitting minions while chasing. Body Slamming through walls quickly; you don't have time to plan while running, and if you screw up the distance required, Gragas will just fumble into the wall and you will probably die. Body Slamming through walls to hit people as they go around corners and into fog of war (or out of vision, whichever you prefer to call it). You need to have a good grasp of roughly how fast a champion moves, with and without boots. Barrel Rolling where the opponent will be, while accounting for the slight delay before explosion upon arriving at the destination. This can be tricky, but it gets easier in melee range. Remembering to Drunken Rage pretty much all the time, but make sure to save it for just before a team fight if you anticipate one. Explosive Cask timing AND angle of knockback. This is probably the most skill-intensive part of playing Gragas. The delay before explosion takes a bit of use before understanding exactly how long it will take; in addition, if it lands to the side of an opponent, it may just knock them slightly forward and spend most of the power sending them into a wall, potentially making your situation worse, not better. Using this ability requires a good grasp of LoL's "physics" and champion's run speeds. Understanding that it is easier to guarantee the direction of a cask knockback by hitting your opponent at the perimeter of the explosion radius than it is to land it directly behind them. There is no damage bonus to hitting them on their head, so play it safe and prioritize the knockback direction. Last hitting as a melee champion. This is harder than as a ranged champion. Some of you will suck at this forever. Sorry. Cleaning out LARGE creep waves with body slam and barrel roll. This isn't hard. But it's good to recognize an opportunity to rake in cash. EDIT: While it was written for Summoner's Rift (5v5), this guide applies pretty much identically to a game on Twisted Treeline, except for items: Aegis loses a lot of its power when each team drops to three members, so I would recommend skipping it. While I do not have a definitive build worked out for this yet, I still feel Leviathan is worth building, and that offense is at more of a premium while building late game items (if that phase is reached). Enjoy. Ask questions or comment! |
Yo, I really didn't do more than just skim over your guide, but I particularly like the 6 levels in Body Slam.
interesting build, and it looks fun to try. However, drunken rage is really gragas's best ability. No clue why you would level it last. Wouldn't you rather get +70 AD and -26% damage taken by level 9 than have body slam hit for an extra 100 damage? Plus, body slam scales with AD anyways, so a higher level drunken rage will make it hit harder anyways.
A higher rank body slam has a significantly larger chunk of flat bonus damage, which is the real reason you level it up first. The scaling is just a nice bonus. Plus, you most likely don't have the attack speed boost from stinger yet at lvl 9 to make Drunken Rage really hurt. If you do, then the other team is seriously feeding. A lot. -26% damage taken while you still only have 1200~ or so HP is an effective 300-ish HP. Noticeable, but not world-shatteringly amazing, especially if you get caught with it down or it wears off and you can't afford to chug in the middle of a chase / flee. In the end it's going to be a matter of opinion; but I am convinced that maxing body slam first is the best way to rapidly increase Gragas' damage output because you will seldom have a chance to maintain melee range long enough to make a max rank Drunken Rage just as effective. The mana restore increase in particular is pretty negligible between ranks, also. |
Bump for some re-exposure to comments and criticism. Darn me and forgetting the [GUIDE] tag every time.
Bump, GRAGAS!!!!!!
Your item build looks good.
Few questions: Do you feel you have mana problems at or around lvls 4-18? Why AP runes if you do not go AP items, and if you do not go Spell Pen mastery? Most teams need an early Aegis for an advantage in early teamfights, do you ever build it prior to a 5th item? It's true that Drunken Rage is not as important for your build, as you do not rush Leviathan. If you rush Leviathan, its nice to have rage maxed by 11-12 so that you can quickly get to a constant 45% mitigation with 35%+ CD reduction through items. |
Thanks. That means something from a yellow text fellow. In order: Very rarely. My playstyle flatly discourages barrel roll use outside of melee combat. Using it as harass against healthy opponents guarantees mana problems, it's just way too inefficient. Using it as an additional nuke only while in melee body-slam combat is the most effective usage (in my opinion). Only time that using it to harass is acceptable is if you got golem. As I said, runes are pretty flexible, and if I had a page more suited to this playstyle I might use it. I use them simply because my other page is even worse for the job. I assume when you say I don't get AP items you are excluding Sheen (and later, Nashor's Tooth), which I can understand. Aside from spreading your damage around more instead of placing it all in your auto attacks and slam, no, there is no particularly strong reason to use the page I use. You make a good point actually; if I'm going to use my AP page I might as well throw those 9 points in offense instead of utility. I'll give it a shot. I tried building it as my third item, and as my fourth. I felt that not building leviathan early on left you without charges late game (because you won't have it during the first major team fights), so I moved that to first priority. I then tried making the Aegis fourth, but I found that my damage output was falling noticeably behind in usefulness without a stinger, so I decided to get stinger first. That said, I typically mid-to-high-ELO solo queue or queue with one or two friends (with no real organization between us besides chatting on vent about how LAME that kill on one of us was). Without intense very-early game teamwork, a late aegis works out a bit better. You know as well as I do that random pubs tend to push later in the game than an organized team. So I guess the answer is "I make Aegis late because I don't trust pubs". Fair enough? Yes, I imagine if I were to adjust the build to rush Leviathan (perhaps finish the Mercury Treads later?), having high rank drunken rage to pair with it would be the better choice. Perhaps worth testing. Thanks for your input. |
Nice guide. Haven't played him in a while, but tempted now.

Pitbull, Lil Wayne, and Other "Miami" Rappers Who Don't Give a Shit About the Heat Win
But there are some Miami music icons we really thought would be all over this win. But they haven't made so much as a tweet.
Some of these people claim to rep Miami. Or even be Miami. But apparently, when the MIA hits her stride, they're nowhere to be seen.
We're calling out all you cats for not supporting a girl when she wins big. Shame on you.
The Throne
Alright, neither Jay Z nor Kanye West are from Miami, nor do they rep it as their home base. But they do like to talk about the Heat a lot on their album Watch The Throne, and the Heat stampeded to victory on the back of their hit single, "Niggas in Paris." So you'd think after Jay and Ye did all that Wade and Lebron name-dropping, they'd be watching the NBA Finals. And if they were watching, you think they'd have something to say. Especially Kanye. But it looks like they were too busy being a baby daddy or having sex with Kim Kardashian to notice.
Lil Wayne
This Louisiana transplant has made Miami his home ever since New Orleans went under water. All day Weezy be like, "Oh, I'm up in Miami, killin' beats and scarin' niggas." But when the Heat won, he showed no signs of giving a shit on social media. Perhaps that's because he's got more important things to worry about these days, like Drake eating the face off Chris Brown and destroying the YMCMB empire. But wait, that's a load of crap. Nothing is more important than the Heat's victory right now.
