TIFs to be studied by economic commission
Feasibility study to be conducted for Madison Street and North Avenue
As the Economic Development Commission starts assessing how to help expand River Forest's business base, it is exploring all potential options to attract new businesses as well.
Toward that end, the newly-formed panel will conduct a feasibility study to determine if the Madison Street and North Avenue corridors qualify to become tax increment financing districts.
A recommendation for the study, which may come before River Forest trustees in February, will become one tool in a "tool box" to bring business here, commission chair Thomas Hazinski said.
"We want to see if the option is available," Hazinski said.
No timeline has been set yet for the study.
Trustees would have to approve all of the commission's efforts. But even if the areas qualify for incentives to aid development, that doesn't mean TIFs would be formed, Village Administrator Eric Palm said.
"Outside of the policy decision, we'd have to have conversations about that with the other taxing bodies and give them a sense of our intent," Palm said. "TIFs can have an effect on their budgets as well."
Non-financial incentives for development could also be explored, Hazinski said.
A TIF is a specially designated district used as a means of spurring economic revitalization by dedicating the sales tax and additional property tax revenues generated above a certain fixed point for improvements within that area.
The critical piece is whether the areas qualify. To meet the criteria, an district must have dilapidated or deteriorating property or declining assessments, according to TIF Illinois, a coalition of firms specializing in the use of TIFs and other business-incentive tools to stimulate economic development.
According to TIF Illinois, projects that qualify as part of a TIF include:
Redevelopment of substandard, obsolete, or vacant buildings.
Financing general public infrastructure improvements, including streets, sewer, water, and the like, in declining areas.
Cleaning up polluted areas.
Improving the viability of downtown business districts.
Providing infrastructure needed to develop a site for new industrial or commercial use.
Rehabilitating historic properties.
The baseline for any economic development is the Corridor Study, which outlines the village's long-range plan for improvement, redevelopment, beautification and overall revitalization.
An important anchor along Madison — one of those corridors — is the long-shuttered Hines Lumber property. Back in September, trustees decided to send on to the Development Review Board a proposal to turn the 2-acre site into low-density housing. A proposal has not yet come back to the village, Palm said.
The principal anchor on North Avenue would be the former Dominick's, which is high on the village's list for redevelopment. There's no progress on securing a new tenant for the site, and Hazinski said the commission will reach out to Safeway, which has the lease on the property for another 3 1/2 years, and Mid-America Real Estate Group, which has oversight of the property.
The lone TIF district in River Forest was created in the early 1990s and took in an area along Lake Street between Harlem and Thatcher avenues. Town Center 1 and 2 and village hall were built as part of that.
Most of those funds have been distributed to other River Forest taxing districts. But $1.9 million still sits in an economic development fund set up for Keystone Ventures to buy property in the area of Lake Street and Lathrop Avenue, clean up the site and offer incentives to bring in tenants.
As part of an agreement with the village, Tim Hague, president of Keystone Ventures, must use the funds by November or it will be divvied up among the other taxing districts. That deal was struck before the Lake-Lathrop TIF expired in 2010.
Palm said discussions with Hague are continuing.

So all you see is stealing and dishonesty, Gorky? Try doing a little research on the subject. What's actually happening is an attempt by leaders in RF and OP to deal with redevelopment. TIFs can be mishandled and have been, but the concept is sound if done properly. While other taxing bodies will forgo some revenue for a period- but no longer 23 years- they'll benefit long term by higher EAV on the new properties that wouldn't be available without the TIF aided development.

Shouldn't the District 90, OPRF, Triton, library,etc boards be dead set against this? Isn't this the River Forest Village Board basically stealing money from them to use for economic development? Then they put the tough question (ask for more tax revenue) on these other bodies. Wouldn't the more honest thing be for the River Forest board to propose increasing the property tax if it wants money to spend on development?

Another example of Adduci, Conti, et al's forward thinking. The previous vlg. prez, John Rigas, also saw the need. As someone who covered RF as a reporter and lives in Forest Park, the redevelopment- in tandem with the upcoming streetscape improvements led by FP- can't come soon enough. The corridor certainly does have "substandard, obsolete, or vacant buildings," and since "Improving the viability of downtown business districts" is a goal, while not "downtown," still qualifies, IMO.

A baker's life can be distinctly unglamorous with early mornings, long days and lots of hard work. But creative satisfaction and the joy of making delicious food that people adore make it worthwhile.
Co-owner Agi Groff doesn't hesitate when asked why people love 4 Seasons Bakery's baked goods. "Real ingredients; nothing you can't pronounce. No artificial colors or flavors. Real food!"
Her husband, Aaron, agrees, adding that customers are lured by their handmade approach - even the puff pastry and Danish dough are made on site. The Groffs, naturally, use local ingredients whenever possible, including eggs.
The Groffs met while they were earning associates degrees in baking and pastry arts at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. They moved to St. Louis in 2004 and began their business in 2005, baking in a nearby church kitchen and selling their products at farmers' markets. In July 2010, they opened their snug, tidy storefront bakery. A month after that, the couple's daughter, Alina, was born, making the bakery's first year "crazy but good."
Throughout the week, Agi and Aaron handle jobs the other doesn't like.
Agi is the chief tart maker; Aaron excels at quiches. Aaron also heads daily operations, with the help of a couple of interns who do basic dough assembly and other tasks.
The bakery has a daily rhythm that's overlaid by its weekly production cycle. Tuesdays through Fridays, Aaron arrives by 5:30am and on Saturdays, he comes to the bakery an hour earlier to proof breads and handle extra prep work. He first concentrates on baking staples for the case: scones, quick breads, coffeecake and cookies - all made in the bakery's single oven. When that's done, he brews coffee and prepares the register so he's ready for customers when he unlocks the doors at 7. He's in constant motion the rest of the day, helping customers; baking items such as macaroons, breads, pies and tarts; making starters for the week's various breads; taking care of special orders; packaging cookies; restocking the front case and shelves; and brûléing pastries and finishing them with powdered sugar, glaze or frosting.
Tuesdays are big production days. Staples are made so the Groffs' wares can be baked fresh during the week. Cookie and scone dough are made and portioned out, and muffin and quick bread batters are prepared and stored. Dough for tarts and pies are assembled, wrapped and labeled, and puff pastry and Danish dough stocks are replenished.
On Thursdays and Fridays, production gears up again as the Groffs decide on Saturday offerings. Typically, they prepare tarts, pies, their signature flourless chocolate cake and a German- or New York-style cheesecake. Inspiration for weekend treats comes from a lot of sources: local fruits or vegetables, magazine articles, chatting with customers or a recipe from the Groffs' collection of more than 300 cookbooks.
Sundays and Mondays are the Groffs' days off, although they spend at least some of their free time stocking up on supplies and looking for ideas for new pastries. They often go to the library for cookbooks they don't already own.
Because Agi was born and raised in Heidelberg, Germany, she bakes traditional German treats during the holidays. Throughout December, 4 Seasons Bakery's shelves are stocked with her favorites. Several come from family recipes: vanillekipferl (almond crescents), zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and lebkuchen (similar to gingerbread).
"They're only made during Christmas time, and then you have to wait until next year," she explains. "That's what makes them so special."
Other Christmas goodies include springerle (crunchy biscuits embossed with Christmas themes), rumkugeln (chocolate rum balls) and anisplätzchen (anise cookies). They also make a classic Christmas stollen, dense, egg-rich yeast dough studded with toasted almonds, crammed with golden and dark raisins and flavored with candied orange peel and lemon peel that have been soaked in rum for two days. The Groffs sell their Christmas treats at the Hermann, Mo., Christkindl markets at Stone Hill and Hermannhof wineries.
The Groffs' busy holiday schedule leaves little time to cook for themselves. Don't feel too sorry for them, though. Their version of leftovers is pumpkin brioche bread pudding. Agi also looks forward to treats made by her family.
"By the time Christmas comes along, the last thing I want to eat are the cookies I made. My mom sent a box of her cookies last year, and I was excited to eat them."
December is the perfect time to follow your taste buds to the St. Charles shop. The Groffs' love for what they do is evident in the warm greeting they give every customer, their friendly banter with regulars and joyful approach to baking traditional and seasonally inspired treats.
4 Seasons Bakery, 2012 Campus Dr., St. Charles, 314.288.9176, 4seasonsbakery.com
Want to offer something special to your holiday houseguests? Aaron and Agi Groff share some of their quick recipes for scrumptious winter-morning treats.

Anyone catch that he ate an apple in the episode? Maybe I'm reading too much into but since when does he LIKE apples?
The episode is a stand alone but it's leading into his death so I do think they set up some clues for us along the way.

1997 Toyota Corolla Problems
The engine mount on the passenger side of the car can wear out on cars with high mileage. This will put extra stress on the other mounts and the faulty mount will need to be replaced.
If the engine will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter. These will tend to go out at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.

Four flavors of iMac
The iMac has come such a long way from the days when it resembled a very chic lampshade. The best part about the refresh of the iMac line is the introduction of a 24-inch model for only $1,499, thus proving that the rumor mill is right once again, though the mutterings of an iMac refresh have been audible since prior to Macworld.
We're now down to one 20" model for $1199US, which features a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor, 2GB memory (upgradeable to 8GB), 320GB hard drive, 8x double-layer SuperDrive and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video card with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory.
We now have three flavors of 24" iMacs to choose from now, ranging from $1499US up to $2199US. The $1499 model has the same 2.66GHz processor as the 20" while the $1799 bumps you up to 2.93GHz (3.06GHz optional) and the $2199 has 3.06GHz. All three 24" models come with 4GB memory with the option to upgrade to 8. The two lower-end 24" models come with 640GB hard drives (can be upgraded to 1TB), while the high-end comes with a 1TB drive.
The $1499 24" has the same video card as the 20", but the $1799 model has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 256MB of GDDR3 memory video card and the $2199 model has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 with 512MB of GDDR3 memory video card. Both of these models can upgrade to a ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 512MB of GDDR3 memory for an additional $200.
All the models come with six USB ports, sorta: Four on the machine itself and two on the keyboard, then a single FireWire 800 port, built-in iSight camera and MiniDisplayPort. It also comes with a wired keyboard -- sans numeric keypad. If you want a wired keyboard with a numeric keypad, it's free but you'll have to indicate it when doing a BTO order on Apple's site.
Apple seems to be out to make 20" displays a thing of the past as the iMac narrows its line down to the one 20" machine, and the 20" Cinema Display has disappered completely. By introducing a third 24" iMac at the same price of the former high-end 20", Apple is making sure that these larger machines are becoming more affordable.

he value of computer programming has been rising exponentially for decades. To the point where now coding has gained traction in mainstream media. TV shows like CBS's The Big Bang Theory or HBO's Silicon Valley are good indicators of computer science careers are taking center stage. The domino effect created by the demand for amazing technology is likewise leading to a demand for skilled workers to engineer and program. Whether training comes through a high school certificate program, or a degree in computer science, the need for project-ready coders is only increasing. The bottom-line: All schools at all levels are kicking coding into overdrive.

Before the Quad Cities River Bandits open their 2013 home schedule at Modern Woodmen Park, their home field will be the scene of the finish line for the first-ever Bandits Race to Home 5K presented by Palmer Chiropractic Clinics on Saturday, April 6. Runners and walkers can now register for the first-ever race, with all proceeds benefiting the Bandit Scholars Program.
Early race registration is available at www.riverbandits.com/5K through Dec. 31 and costs $20. The registration fee includes a T-shirt and a ticket to a 2013 River Bandits game. All participants who register early will also be entered into a drawing for a free 32-inch flat screen TV.
"The Bandits Race to Home 5K will give the Quad Cities community the incredible opportunity of coming to the finish line on the field of Modern Woodmen Park," said team owner Dave Heller. "For one affordable price, each participant will enjoy a unique race experience and a free River Bandits game while supporting the Bandit Scholars Program that helps Quad Cities area students pay for college."
The race will begin near Modern Woodmen Park and end inside the ballpark on the field near home plate.

Manav Jaini survived a scare against Mithun Perera to make the final of the SRF matchplay championship, here on Friday.
In the title clash on Saturday, Jaini will meet top seed Ashok Kumar, who got past fifth seed Chiragh Kumar 3 and 2 in the other semifinal.
Jaini, who was leading 4-up after the 12th hole and slipped thereafter, rode his luck on the 20th hole to ward off a strong challenge from Perera. The sixth-seeded Jaini started by losing the first hole. However, he got his act together to win the next four holes in a row.
Except for the birdie on the second, a par each on the rest three was enough for Jaini as Perera struggled because of the windy conditions in the morning.
A birdie on the eighth and a superb eagle on the 10th helped Jaini consolidate his lead even though he could not stop Perera from winning the seventh.
Perera got into the rhythm in the later half of the contest and posed a threat to Jaini. The 55th-ranked Sri Lankan, who had defeated three top-seeded players in earlier rounds, scored an awesome birdie on the 13th and banked on Jaini's mistakes on the 15th and 16th before winning the crucial 18th to take the match to the tie-breaker.
The fight went neck and neck as both earned an eagle each on the 19th. On the 20th, Perera missed a 17-foot birdie putt, while Jaini secured a 15-footer.
"As the game progressed, I lost the momentum while he got it and played well. I had to hang on there and do my best," said the 27-year-old Jaini.
Ashok rallied from two holes down to record a convincing victory over Chiragh. Ashok bagged the eighth, 10th, 11th, 12th and 14th holes after losing the fourth and fifth.
He made some fine long putts to garner birdies on the 10th, 11th and 12th.
Ashok's performance was studded with an eagle on the par-5 14th hole. He found the mark from six feet following a precise second shot.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Reviewed by Sally Kruger aka "Readingjunky" for TeensReadToo.com A boy and his pet gecko. It doesn't seem like the makings of much of an adventure, but imagine if it was a talking gecko with notoriously "sticky" fingers. Dave Sanchez is a pretty normal kid. He lives in an apartment with his hardworking parents and his annoying sister. Life was fairly routine until the day his pet gecko announced that he could talk. He told some crazy story about helping three loco banditos in their get-rich-quick schemes. Now he says he is trying to track down the diabolical Damien Black. Sticky the gecko has a powerful Aztec wristband known for its superpowers. The catch is that the evil Damien Black has the power ingots that must be snapped into the wristband to activate its powers - invisibility and the power of flight - just to name a few. According to Sticky, they must get to the ingots before Damien gets to the wristband and begins his plan to take over the world. Their adventure begins as they battle slimy snails, shrieking bats, and shrunken heads to gain access to Damien's frightful mansion. This new series by author Wendelin Van Draanen offers fast-paced action and quick-witted humor. Dave and his sassy sidekick Sticky are sure to please fans of Van Draanen's earlier SHREDDERMAN series. This is an excellent choice for boys and especially reluctant readers looking for fun and adventure. '"It happened one afternoon when Dave was home alone. Sticky simply crawled onto his shoulder and said, "Buenas tardes, senor!" "What?" Dave said, looking at the gecko with wide eyes.' Thus begins Dave and Sticky the Gecko's wild and adventurous relationship. Sticky, on the run from the diabolical treasure hunter Damien Black, outs himself as a talking gecko in the hopes that Dave will help him to get "that wicked ratero Damien Black"! Van Draanen's new series (a spin off of Shredderman: Meet the Gecko) is full of humor and adventure that will keep you turning the pages past lights out! no reviews | add a review

Dave doesn't believe a word—until Sticky shows him the wristband. But while Sticky managed to escape with the wristband, Damien Black has the power ingots. So the lizard and treasure hunter each have something the other wants . . . very badly.Filled with outrageous adventures, over-the-top characters, snappy-funny dialogue, and a tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek narration, this new series is sure to be a hit with young superheros everywhere.

Overall Experience: So far so good, I will really know more during the fall semester
Online Courses: I am essentially paying to teach myself and it costs as much as a normal campus based class, doesn't seem fair. The online programs they use, for math at least, seem to work well enough but little mistakes in a correct answer can cause you to fail. My teacher seems non-existent, he sends out emails when someone misses something but when I email him about something, such as an undeserved absence, I don't hear back from him.
Overall Experience: Doing classes online feels like a waste of money. I am essentially paying to teach myself and it costs the same as a campus based class. My current teacher doesn't return my emails so communication with him essentially is not there.
Overall Experience: I am bulking up the B.S. that I already have so that it can open some doors that are currently not available
Student Body: I have just started my program and currently taking my classes online
Academic Flexibility: The faculty so far have been very helpful and understanding. Someone is always available if you have questions or concerns.
Career Services: This is a community college and does not offer post grad degrees
Academic Experience: They have a large variety of courses and degree programs as well as certificate options.
Academic Experience: My major is Forensics and Biology, I have only just started so I have yet to really experience the program but I can say that if you are going into sciences and don't qualify for aid be prepared to take a big bite out of your wallet.
Campus Resources: This college is kinda small but the resources they have seem to be adequate enough.
Tuition & Financial Aid: The staff was very helpful even though I didn't qualify for financial aid.
Campus Resources: Its great for online classes especially when some of the classes have to be done while I am home with my kids. Great online tools and teachers right there when you need to talk
Academic Flexibility: It was most hassle free, but not understanding that you have to try to find someone to care for my two small children I have and also being a single parent it gets rough at times but I keep pushing myself
Student Body: not able to tell due to night classes
Tuition & Financial Aid: just looking for some scholarships everything else is great
Campus Resources: I really have not had opportunity because of work
Overall Experience: I would go here again because they offer night and/or inetensive classes
Academic Flexibility: Flexible classes and no frustrations are the definition of this campus.
Online Courses: Some teachers are slow to respond to emails, but most teachers I have had an awesome and easygoing experience with.
Career Services: Job prospects and alumni network are all fairly easy to get into contact with, and most alumni members and career center workers are awesome.
Tuition & Financial Aid: Some workers do not exactly know how to handle certain situations, but most are nice and know how to help.
Campus Resources: Could use some improvement, but average resources.
Campus Resources: Printing labs, wifi, and need for a computer all are fabulous and easy reach for all students.
Campus Quality: Modernized buildings and facilities make the experience on campus awesome.
Overall Experience: The people and community have made the school experience fabulous.

This is to contribute suggestions/start a dialog for how to play when you're behind. I typically solo queue, and about 1/10 games I have involve a really good comeback by my team: we get behind in kills early, are behind by 2-3 towers by the 15 minute mark, but through conservative play and on-the-spot organization manage to push them back. It's not always a win, but it IS always a far better game. The snowball effect does not have to be the rule. There are a number of things one can do to mix up the playstyle and make things happen. This will not fix poor champion selection: if you solo queue and are not prepared to play a tank or strong control hero, then you have to face strong hero combinations with your Teemo/Heimer/Ryze/Yi/Evelyn team of fail. Rather than write a straight guide, I figure a list of suggestions works better (along with situational anecdotes). Please, comment and contribute: I will credit suggestions as they come. These are things I have seen help keep an error-filled early game from turning into an unstoppable wall of white death: 1: Do not be afraid to ask for a lane swap. If you're facing a Blitzcrank who you just can't seem to avoid his grabby hand, don't wait till you're 4 deaths in the hole and 3 levels behind. Swap with someone in one of the other lanes better-equipped to deal with the heroes you are facing. 2: Wardswardswardswardswards (and Oracle!). If you find yourself in a compromising position against a stealther multiple times early on, it's not going to get any better as the game continues. Carry wards, drop them during team fights, drop them near bushes and hide waiting for the stealther, drop them in the river so you can see incoming ganks. Wards, combined with MIAs, can help slow the avalanche of kills. Knowledge is power. If the lane facing the stealther has fallen behind in gold, swap with a person in the other lane who maybe has a little cash to burn on wards. Personal Anecdote: I was laning as Sivir in mid versus a Twitch. While he was not able to get kills on me during the laning phase, he still managed to get 4 or so kills early game against my team mates in spite of MIAs being called. He thus became a force once the laning phase ended. After a couple unfortunate team fights (where we'd lose 2-3 people to Spray and Pray + Expunge funtimes), I started buying a stack of 3 wards (and an oracle if possible/needed) every time I went back in lieu of other items. We waited for them to push a lane, and then would set up a ward near one of the bushes in the jungle near the front tower of the lane being pushed. Twitch would come sniffing around the bush we were all in, and get stomped. They were down their main DPS and we were able to push them back and get a couple towers down. This caution was repeated every time Twitch respawned: pull back, wait for them to overextend, have wards ready to find Twitch, kill him first and then whatever team mates we could find. 3: It is less important to push back and even out the towers than it is to make sure you do not get further pressed. Trading one of their outer towers for one of your inner towers is rarely, if ever, a good swap. 4: Never walk alone. If you are already behind, raiding their Golem for the buff is generally not the best of ideas. 5: Mind the dragon. Typically once teams get a little ahead (especially if they've pushed the bottom lane back), they will start taking out the dragon every time it spawns. For very cheap, you can throw down a standard vision ward to keep track of it, and execute ganks/steal the dragon, helping swing things in your team's favor. 6: Don't get greedy. Just because you have killed one person and there's another fleeing at 50% doesn't mean that you've caught up. If you're still a couple levels behind, and you don't have some sort of scouting ability (Clairvoyance, TF Ult, Karthus wall, etc), your two chasers will quickly negate any positive effect their kill had. 7: Mind the creep waves. Typically, you can see a big creep wave building up LONG before it hits a tower. If you let a wave of 25 creeps beat on your inner tower, you are in trouble. You are in more trouble if they have a champion join them. It only takes 1-2 people to hold a tower if the other team is pushing. Make sure someone is still taking care of the little guys. 8: KILL ORDERS! Things tend to snowball because teams continually focus the initiator. Figure out who their Carry is, and take it down first. Assign different CCs to different heroes so all your stuns aren't blown immediately. Organize the same way you would on vent. 9: If someone is taking the lead, and their advice doesn't seem completely stupid, follow them. Wait to play the blame game in the load out lobby. 10: Only initiate fights when you can account for other opponents. Scouting/map control/whatever is one of the great snowball stoppers. 11: If you can stem the tide, there's no reason to give up. Games turn around at a key gank, well executed team brawl, or a Baron-thieving. When you're behind, the longer you can stretch it out, the more opportunities you give for the other team to make a game-changing mistake. Of course, if it hits 25 minutes and you're 6 levels (and 20 kills) behind, and they're knocking on your base, you probably don't need to play it out. F3nr1s, ABYAY 12: Do not neglect your lanes to start chasing champions around the map to try and catch up in kills: there is plenty of gold/xp to be had killing minions, and if they've pushed you back, hey, that makes it easier to set up ganks where they're outnumbered as the lanes are closer together. Roaming around not killing anything (or killing things in 5 man groups) will only help you fall further behind. dovvntempo (See his post in this thread: 1st page, number 6, for a map about vision control!) 13: Keep all criticism constructive, and don't forget to congratulate good play. Everyone's Kindergarten Teacher 14: Take a long hard look at your team comp before you decide that you're "losing." Some champions are strong early game pushers/laners, who can get a tower down or a gank off early, but as long as they aren't fed TOO severely, wither in the mid-late game 5 man roving gank squads (examples: Janna, Evelyn, Soraka). Other champs are easily harassed/pushed back early game, but get strong enough with their skills alone to tangle with opposing champs who are as much as 2-3 levels ahead ahead. 15: Edit your build based on what you're facing, and what your team composition is. If there's s lack of tankyness in your team, or if you're up against a strong Annie, there are items to buy to help you not die. If you have a strong healear on your team and you are the "tank" (or even if you're not), pick up the Spirit Visage and watch your health not fall quite so fast. El Jaun Jinko 16: Watch what items the other team is building with their money! If you see people getting Mejai's stacks, it is DOUBLY important to not feed them (and also to take them out early/whenever possible, because odds are said character is planning to carry). That's what we have so far. Feel free to contribute!
Giving up is the worst possible thing to do. Giving up not only demoralizes a team but guarantees a loss. Try your best the entire time and ignore the K/D ratio. By trying your best, you will take advantage of and punish clumsy, arrogant mistakes that the opposing team WILL always make if it is a slaughter 20 minutes in. One bad team fight for them and it will turn a 2 tower advantage into a 1 tower 1 inhibitor disadvantage. Watch respawn timers. Just because you killed someone does not mean you are homefree. 30 seconds is not a long time, neither is 70 for that matter, when it comes to roaming and free farming. Be careful and have an extra eye one timers once champions start dying. This applies to timers on your team as well. Do NOT charge in to grab a kill if you are the only or second champion up versus the entire opposing team. All that does is maybe snag you a kill but guarantee a massive tower/lane loss. In base farming. So you lost your first six towers and they are already in your base, are you doomed? Absolutely not. Take advantage of the fact that they need to push through creeps and towers to get to your champions and allow yourself to farm creeps getting to your base without much worry. Make use of your blitzcrank in this situation especially by grabbing enemies and carrying them inside the base. Watch closely for champions with jumps or flashes, however, and do not allow yourself to wander too far out. You can easily farm up to their level and items by being careful in this aspect.
Junior Member
Give constructive or tactical feedback. NOT constructive: "OMG stop feeding." "If our <insert champion here> didn't suck we would be winning" "Quit dying" Constructive: "Let's target the low-hp characters like <champion(s) names> first and not focus on the tank" "Save your stuns, lets wait for <kat, Nunu, Fiddle, ect> to initiate their ult and we can stop them with the stun." "Let's wait for <your tank here> to initiate first, before we start dpsing" Also tell a person good job when they've done something good, it really boosts their morale. Ex: "Thanks for the haste back their Zilean" "Nice job focus firing down their Annie dps" "Good stun Taric" ect. If you are trying to convince someone to do something, phrase it nicely and in terms of teamwork. NO: "TF stop being such a noob and helps us in team battles" YES: "TF we're really depending on you to help us in team battles, we'll have a much better chance if you would gate over and help us when we engage"
A+ thread! I live by most of what is being said here. I more or less simply learned these things through my own experience, but it's nice to see a thread for them. Very helpful Also, I cannot express enough how badly it pisses me off to see teamates demoralizing other teamates (myself even at times). You're not going to get any better by making your team feel ****pier. In many cases, people are aware when they make a mistake and die. They don't need harsh criticism, they need a helping hand or better suggestions. Best possible outcome lies in effective communication and being nice and helpful to people who are feeling a little down on their luck. Isn't the object of the game to win against the opponents? And aren't you supposed to be trash talking the opposite team anyways? :P In a worst case scenario, where someone is just being the worst possible uber negative A-hole you could imagine, i find it hilarious to lane up with them until a 3 man gank comes into your lane. time it right. when they close in, flash out and pretend you didnt see them and were going for that golem buff you needed so badly :3 I know it's counter productive, but every once in a while, it's totally worth it
This post needs to be stickied. I honestly wish every player were forced to read this before playing. I'm so tired of games in which I or someone else is playing poorly, or makes a mistake, and having pubs simply say "omg stop feeding, noobs". Oh, well now that you tell me, of course I'll stop dying, I was under the impression that dying was the point of the game!
Very good post, without a doubt. Many of the crucial facts have already been said. However, I need to point this out. "If an ally steals your kill, don't whine over it, especially if it's a carry that did it." I ended up losing a game because we had a Ryze get his kill stolen by a Pantheon. Pantheon decided to feed because Ryze wouldn't stop complaining over it, thus causing defeat (He didn't even have Soulstealer...) It drove me crazy because I was hearing it over Ventrilo, so I just left it. A game is never over until it's actually over. There can be that one team clash that turns in your favor because you all ganked that Fiddle grabbing a Golem buff before the final push, or surprised that group snagging Baron, stealing the buff, and cleaning them away. Although there is a fine line between "possibly winning" and "no chance at all", always look on the higher side. You never know when a match will turn up to your side. (Or end up falling in defeat while at an advantage.) I guess you quote this as, "Don't surrender unless there's a dang good reason."
if you are down kills and towers, DO NOT make futile attempts to team gank one champion and neglect your lanes. Not only are you sharing the experience of a kill between multiple people, you are losing out on the experience and gold you could've gotten in your own lane. In a game you are already losing, it's very important to hang on to whatever map control you do have. The worst thing that can happen is to have your minions constantly on your side of the river. They give you vision! No champ can go through the lane without you seeing them! So do your best to defend and cautiously push so that you can take a tower and gain some vision of that part of the map. If each lane has minions in it, then an enemy player has to cross the river through certain points on the map to get to your side, should they want a gank. In the attached picture, the green arrows represent your minions traveling. The red dots are where I like to place wards, as someone will have to go through that area to cross the river. The purple dots are actually put there by flankd, as it's from his nidalee guide. It's where he likes putting the traps... so try those spots out as well. You can't count on MIA's. The people you play with aren't perfect, and they might even have TERRIBLE map awareness. Having wards, getting sight, and making sure you know where someone is really helps in convincing someone to head back, and so forth. Also, figure out what has been the reason / who has been the reason for the team losing. If their shaco is just rolling in the kills, then you might need to pair up teams that have some kind of cc so that one can get away, and/or get wards/ invi wards. If it's a nunu who's been chewing through your team, then perhaps some MR would help. Or merc treads to deal with that slow. Many times, it won't be specific. It'll be some kind of team combo that's been very effective against your team. Just identify how best to counter / nullify it / avoid it and let your team know it should be done.

Posting in an epic thread. (Am sometimes an overaggressive TF myself, much to the chagrin of my roommate. Will try to keep this stuff in mind. Sure, I could just go back to playing Nunu/Mundo, but TF is just so much FUN when I'm being a ninja and not drifting towards feeder territory.)
Bump and added stuff.
Just try to make it last to late game as much as you can no matter how bad you're losing. An ace of 5 lvl 18s late in a game is enough time to destroy 2 turrets then inhib then directly to the nexus for the win.

Camelot will be based on Thomas Malory's 15th century book," Le Morte d'Arthur" - still considered the definitive work on the subject. But that's only a starting point; "Camelot" will weave authenticity into a modern telling of the Arthur legends that is relatable to contemporary audiences.
Academy Award winning producer Graham King (The Tourist, The Departed) along with Tim Headington and newly appointed GK-TV President Craig Cegielski will serve as Executive Producers. Additional Executive Producers include Morgan O'Sullivan (The Tudors) and James Flynn of the Irish production company Octagon, Michael Hirst (The Tudors) and Douglas Rae (Becoming Jane, Nowhere Boy) of UK's Ecosse Films. The series is being written by Chris Chibnall (Life on Mars, Torchwood). John Weber from Take 5 Productions will serve as the Canadian producer.
The series will be shot in Ireland, with post-production to be completed in Canada. Starz has all U.S. rights - including home entertainment and digital distribution - to Camelot; GK-TV will handle the rest of the world.
"`The story of Arthur isn't history, it's mythology, and Camelot isn't a place but an idea of hope that has resonated intensely at different times throughout history," Starz, LLC, President and CEO Chris Albrecht said. "The creative team has envisioned a highly entertaining and distinctly original TV program that fits in perfectly with our lineup, coming on the heels of our successful original series 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' and the returning comedy 'Party Down,' along with our recent acquisition of the event series based on Ken Follett's 'The Pillars of the Earth.' "
"GK-TV was started with the goal of producing compelling cinematic quality programming for television," said Graham King. "The legend of King Arthur is a fascinating story that we couldn't be more excited to have as our first television project." Added Craig Cegielski: "Our goal for this project is to bring a fresh and contemporary take to one of the most classic medieval tales. In keeping with the GK-TV vision, we have assembled top level writers and producers to help tell the universal story of Camelot on a global scale."
"I am excited to be part of this project not only because it is an amazing story, but it allows me to collaborate once again with Chris Albrecht," said Morgan O'Sullivan. "Camelot is one of the greatest stories ever told and we are thrilled to be working with Starz and Graham King on such an ambitious production," said Ecosse Films CEO Douglas Rae.
Casting is underway for the production, with the cast expected to feature fresh talent combined with established faces who will enhance the high quality of the new series. Production is slated to begin in June of this year.

Description The inventions relate generally to material application and supply systems, for example, but not limited to, powder coating material application and supply systems. More particularly, the inventions relate to a material feed center or supply for such systems. Material application systems are used to apply one or more materials in one or more layers to an object. General examples are powder coating systems, as well as other particulate material application systems such as may be used in the food processing and chemical industries. These are but a few examples of a wide and numerous variety of systems used to apply particulate materials to an object and to which the present inventions can find realization and use. The application of dry particulate material is especially challenging on a number of different levels. An example, but by no means a limitation on the use and application of the present inventions, is the application of powder coating material to objects using a powder spray gun. Because sprayed powder tends to expand into a cloud or diffused airborne spray pattern, known powder application systems use a spray booth for containment. Powder particles that do not adhere to the target object are generally referred to as powder overspray, and these particles tend to fall randomly within the booth and will alight on almost any exposed surface within the spray booth. Therefore, cleaning time and color change times are strongly related to the amount of surface area that is exposed to powder overspray. In addition to exterior surface areas exposed to powder overspray, color change times and cleaning time are strongly related to the amount of interior surface area exposed to the flow of powder during an application process. Examples of such interior surface areas include all surface areas that form the powder flow path, from a supply of the powder all the way through the powder spray gun. The powder flow path typically includes a pump that is used to transfer powder from a powder supply to one or more spray guns. Hoses are commonly used to connect the supply, pumps and guns. Interior surface areas of the powder flow path are typically cleaned by blowing a purge gas, such as pressurized air, through portions of the powder flow path. Wear items that have surfaces exposed to material impact, for example a spray nozzle in a typical powder spray gun, can be difficult to clean due to impact fusion of the powder on the wear surfaces. Known supply apparatus for powder coating materials generally involve a container such as a box or hopper that holds a fresh supply of previously unused or �virgin� powder. This powder is usually fluidized within the hopper, meaning that air is pumped into the powder to produce an almost liquid-like bed of powder. Fluidized powder is typically a rich mixture of material to air. Often, recovered powder overspray is returned to the supply via a feed hose and sieve arrangement. A venturi pump may be used to draw powder through a suction line or tube from the supply into a supply hose and then to push the powder under positive pressure through another hose to a spray gun. Such systems are difficult to clean for a color change operation because the venturi pumps cannot be reverse purged, the suction tubes and associated support frames and pumps retain powder, and there are exterior surfaces that need to be cleaned. The sieve is also challenging and time consuming to clean as it often is in a separate housing structure as part of the powder recovery system or is otherwise not easily accessible. Most of these components need to be cleaned by use of a high pressure air wand which an operator manually uses to blow powder residue back up into a cyclone or other powder recovery unit. Every minute that operators have to spend cleaning and purging the system for color change represents downtime for the system and inefficiency. There are two generally known types of dry particulate material transfer processes, referred to herein as dilute phase and dense phase. Dilute phase systems utilize a substantial quantity of air to push material through one or more hoses from a supply to a spray applicator. A common pump design used in powder coating systems is the venturi pump which introduces a large volume of air at higher velocity into the powder flow. In order to achieve adequate powder flow rates (in pounds per minute or pounds per hour for example), the components that make up the flow path must be large enough to accommodate the flow with such a high air to material ratio (in other words lean flow) otherwise significant back pressure and other deleterious effects can occur. Dense phase systems on the other hand are characterized by a high material to air ratio (in other words rich flow). A dense phase pump and related concepts are described in pending U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/711,429 filed on Sep. 17, 2004 for DENSE PHASE PUMP FOR DRY PARTICULATE MATERIAL, and 11/140,759 filed on May 31, 2005 for PARTICULATE MATERIAL APPLICATOR AND PUMP, the entire disclosures of which are fully incorporated herein by reference, and which are owned by the assignee of the present inventions. This pump is realized in general by a pump chamber that is partially defined by a gas permeable member. Material, such as powder coating material as an example, is drawn into the chamber at one end by negative pressure and is pushed out of the chamber through the same end by positive air pressure. This pump design is very effective for transferring material, however, the present inventions are not limited to use with such a pump design. The present inventions are also not limited to use in powder coating material application systems, but rather may find use in any material handling system that needs to provide a supply of dry particulate material, including both dense and dilute phase systems. The disclosure is directed to arrangements and methods for providing a supply or feed center for dry particulate material, such as, for example, powder coating material. The various inventive aspects and concepts, however, are not limited to powder coating materials and may find utility with many different types of dry particulate materials. In accordance with one inventive aspect, a supply is contemplated that is modular in design so as to enhance its general functionality and cleanability. The modular concept in one embodiment includes an application module and an exhaust module. The application module may be cleaned and used with an exhaust air flow that moves powder overspray or residue into the exhaust module. Optionally, the exhaust module may be realized as a self-contained filter and exhaust system, or alternatively may include an arrangement for connection to an after filter/exhaust system. The modular concept may further optionally include one or more cabinet modules, such as for example a pump cabinet module. In accordance with another inventive aspect, a supply for dry particulate material includes a space or area that is partitioned into first and second sections. The first section may, for example, be used as a supply section to contain a supply of dry particulate material for one or more pumps. The second section may, for example, be used as a cleaning section or other utility section that is not exposed to particulate material from the first section. In accordance with a related optional inventive aspect, a mechanism is provided to modify, adjust or control the relative air flows through the first and second sections. In one embodiment, the mechanism may be realized in the form of a hinged door that operates as an air diverter. The door has first and second positions, for example, that determine air flow into and through the first and second sections. An alternative arrangement may be realized with a supply that is partitioned into more than two sections. In accordance with another inventive aspect, a device is contemplated for removing material from a hopper or other container of the material, in which the device can function to feed material to a plurality of pumps but have reduced surface area for cleaning. In one embodiment, the device may be realized in the form of a generally cylindrical housing that encapsulates one or more feed hoses connectable to respective pumps. The housing may optionally be formed as a lance that is inserted into a container of material. The lance may be supported on the container by a holder mechanism that includes a wiper or squeegee to help clean the housing exterior surface when the lance is removed from the container. The present disclosure further provides various inventive aspects relating to methods embodied in the use of such arrangements as will be further described herein below. These and other inventive aspects, concepts and advantages will be readily understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the exemplary embodiments in view of the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure is directed to various inventive aspects, concepts and features for a supply, also sometimes known or referred to in the art as a feed center, of dry particulate material. One exemplary material is powder coating material such as may be applied to objects as part of a finishing process, for example. However, the inventive concepts are not limited to powder coating materials. Furthermore, while the exemplary embodiments are described herein in the context of a powder coating system, including specific examples of such a system such as types of spray booths, exhaust systems, spray guns or applicators and pumps, none of these devices are required to be used as described or in their exemplary form. While the described embodiments herein are presented in the context of a powder coating material application system, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention may be used in many different dry particulate material application systems, including but not limited in any manner to: talc on tires, super-absorbents such as for diapers, food related material such as flour, sugar, salt and so on, desiccants, release agents, and pharmaceuticals. These examples are intended to illustrate but not limit the broad application of the invention for dense phase application of particulate material to objects. The specific design and operation of the material application system selected provides no limitation on the present invention unless and except as otherwise expressly noted herein. While various inventive aspects, concepts and features of the inventions may be described and illustrated herein as embodied in combination in the exemplary embodiments, these various aspects, concepts and features may be used in many alternative embodiments, either individually or in various combinations and sub-combinations thereof. Unless expressly excluded herein all such combinations and sun-combinations are intended to be within the scope of the present inventions. Still further, while various alternative embodiments as to the various aspects, concepts and features of the inventions�such as alternative materials, structures, configurations, methods, circuits, devices and components, software, hardware, control logic, alternatives as to form, fit and function, and so on�may be described herein, such descriptions are not intended to be a complete or exhaustive list of available alternative embodiments, whether presently known or later developed. Those skilled in the art may readily adopt one or more of the inventive aspects, concepts or features into additional embodiments and uses within the scope of the present inventions even if such embodiments are not expressly disclosed herein. Additionally, even though some features, concepts or aspects of the inventions may be described herein as being a preferred arrangement or method, such description is not intended to suggest that such feature is required or necessary unless expressly so stated. Still further, exemplary or representative values and ranges may be included to assist in understanding the present disclosure, however, such values and ranges are not to be construed in a limiting sense and are intended to be critical values or ranges only if so expressly stated. Moreover, while various aspects, features and concepts may be expressly identified herein as being inventive or forming part of an invention, such identification is not intended to be exclusive, but rather there may be inventive aspects, concepts and features that are fully described herein without being expressly identified as such or as part of a specific invention, the inventions instead being set forth in the appended claims. Descriptions of exemplary methods or processes are not limited to inclusion of all steps as being required in all cases, nor is the order that the steps are presented to be construed as required or necessary unless expressly so stated. With reference to In Thus, the back wall 18 generally identifies the separation between a working application area 24 for supplying powder and an exhaust or recovery area 26. The back wall openings 20, 22 allow airborne powder to move from the application module 24 into the exhaust module 26, either during a cleaning/color change operation, an application or supply operation or both. A cleaning operation, which may be accompanied by an optional color change operation, involves blowing off powder from all exposed surfaces of the application module 24 into the exhaust module 26 for disposal. This may optionally include back purging of pumps and supply hoses that connect the pumps to a powder hopper or container as will be further described herein. The application module 24 thus may be generally a partially enclosed space or area defined by the two side walls 14, 16, the back wall 18 and a ceiling 28 ( With continued reference to In the embodiments of In the case of a self-contained exhaust module 26 such as shown in With reference again to In an exemplary embodiment, the application module 24 is partitioned or split into a first or application section 50 and a second or utility section 52. Which section is used on the left or right (as viewed from the front in In Another inventive aspect illustrated in When the pumps P are of the type described in the above mentioned publication, the pumps can be fully reverse purged so that purge air not only can be directed out to the guns to purge the guns but also purge air will blow powder of the feed hoses H and the inside powder path in the suction device 80. Thus, during a cleaning operation, the lance 80 is removed from the supply hopper A, and may be first blown off and then placed in a holder (shown in later figures herein) so that the purge air blows powder through the lance 80 into the exhaust module 26. With reference again to In accordance with another inventive aspect of the disclosure, a moveable air diverter 84 is provided. In the exemplary embodiment the air diverter may be realized in the form of an optionally hinged door mounted to the front edge 86 of the partition wall 82 with a hinge 88. The door 84 is schematically shown in With reference next to In Note that in its position illustrated in With references to With reference to The lance 80 thus effectively encapsulates the portions of the powder hoses H that otherwise would individually be exposed to powder in the supply hopper A. This significantly reduces the exterior surface area needing to be cleaned for a color change. Although a generally cylindrical lance and conical head are preferred, such shapes are not required. With references to The head 202 may optionally include a nose 220 that protrudes so as to prevent the lance 80 from bottoming in the hopper in such a manner as to reduce uptake of powder into one or more of the suction holes 212. An advantage of the optional conical profile for the head 202 is that the suction holes necessarily have at least horizontal and/or vertical separation with respect to each other, especially as to adjacent holes. The horizontal separation is illustrated by dimension X and vertical separation by dimension Y in Exemplary methods will now be described, however, the various steps may be optional depending on overall system design and may be carried out in a difference order or sequence as needed. For a spraying operation, the lance 80 is manually inserted into the lance holder 92 so that the distal end 112 is positioned within the hopper A (see For a color change operation, the operator swings the air diverter to the position in The inventions have been described with reference to exemplary embodiments. Modifications and alterations will occur to others upon a reading and understanding of this specification and drawings. The inventions are intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof. Patent Citations

Amistad ship retraces slave route
A replica of the 19th Century slave ship, Amistad, is beginning a 22,500km (14,000 mile) transatlantic voyage retracing the route of the slave trade. The trip commemorates the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade within the British Empire.
The Freedom Schooner Amistad will set sail from the US east coast and stop in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.
The Freedom Schooner Amistad will set sail from the US east coast and stop in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.
In 1839, 53 slaves mutinied on board the Amistad. They were captured, but won freedom in a historic legal battle.
The story was depicted in the film Amistad directed by Steven Spielberg in 1997.
The replica of the Amistad, whose name in Spanish means "friendship", will set sail on its 16-month trip from New Haven, Connecticut, at 1800 GMT.
