They were just kids when they stumbled upon the horror of their hometown. Now, as adults, none of them can withstand the force that has drawn them all back to Derry, Maine, to face the nightmare without end, and the evil without a name.
©1987 Stephen King (P)2010 Penguin
"The amazingly prolific King returns to pure horror, pitting good against evil as in The Stand and The Shining. Moving back and forth between 1958 and 1985, the story tells of seven children in a small Maine town who discover the source of a series of horrifying murders. Having conquered the evil force once, they are summoned together 27 years later when the cycle begins again. As usual, the requisite thrills are in abundance." (Library Journal)
"Steven Weber is amazing!!"
incredible performance/story.
I hope Steven Weber does more King. In fact, when they do The Stand, I hope its Steven Weber who does it, he will do it justice!!
"Book is Great... Narrater EVEN BETTER!"
This is one of King's best! The Narrater really brought this one to life! My next pick is a Koontz book by the same narrater, Never read a Koontz book, but thie narrater is one good reason for me to get one and see how good they are!
"Not to bad."
I would really rate the movie ahead of this in a lot of ways. Mostly because there are no unnecessary sex scenes in the movie like there is in this. Yes there is a sec scene between the kids that really shouldn't be in there. However it is really cool to hear all the back story about Dery and find out all the things that IT did over the centuries.
The back story.
All of them.
"Scary as Hell"
Reminds you of what fear was as a child. When fear of the fictional is real!
I READ this book way back when it first came out and though it was over 25 years ago I still remembered that I loved it. I needed a long book so I decided to listen to it. I absolutely love the narration. Steven does a fabulous job. I couldn't wait to put on my headphones on each day. Worth every penny or credit you use to purchase.
I loved how he was able to bring life to the words. When "It" came out my heart started racing as if I was in the book.
I listened to this every chance that I got. If I had 34 hours to spare all in one sitting I would have definately listened to it in one sitting. This is a great book if you have a long drive or flight or your stuck in bed for medical reasons.
"Stephen King at His Best"
This is by far the greatest Stephen King book ever. Steven Weber really makes the reading come to life by voicing all of the characters. This is how every book should be narrated. Well done Mr. Weber. The only critique I have on the narration is with "Stuttering Bill". It just wears you out after a while because it goes on for about 45 hours. We get the point. Bill studders. Mr. Weber could have easily conveyed that by studdering the first word or two of each sentence rather than e,e,e,v,v,very s,s,syll a,a,able o,o,of e,e,e,v,v,very w,w,word. That part became painful to listen to. The other thing I found annoying was his adding the chapter numbers to the reading. That is the fault of Steven King's not finishing a chapter with a complete sentence or thought, starting a new chapter with with the word that should have ended the previous chapter. These are things you can ignore while reading the book, but have to suffer through when listening to it being read to you. Do not hesitate to purchase this book. I waited a long time for it to come out and I will listen to it many times. This book should be listened to only late at night in the dark.
"Pitch-perfect reading"
This story is a long-time favorite --- read a few times over the decades, but I was surprised to discover how the exceptional narration of Steven Weber gave me a whole new experience of the story. I'm inclined to say his is the best narration I've heard in nearly 100 audiobooks (both fiction and non), and his voice characterization is fearless.
I've written this, my first and only review, to say that Steven Weber should be contracted --- and paid anything he asks --- to read The Stand.
"Flawless Narration and a mostly engrossing tale"
There are enough reviews of this book that I don't need to cover the synopsis, if you buy this book, you know what you are getting into. The narration is spectacular, Steven Weber does an amazing job of bringing each character to life and I can't imagine how it could be improved.
For the most part I also enjoyed the story. I will say that one section of the story takes Stephen King's tendency for sexual content far enough that for me personally I regret reading the book. I am not particularly prudish and haven't had a problem with his other books and their content but without giving away plot points, if you have reservations about sexually explicit material then I would pick another title. If not, enjoy a fantastically imaginative and supremely well read novel.
"Wonderful Audiobook!"
This book was an absolute joy to listen to. The narrator was extremely clear and easy to understand, and his different voices and tones made the book very interesting and captivating. "It" scared the pee out of me and is my new favorite Stephen King book.
"Great book. Possibly the best reader ever."
There are 2 books that are on my standing wish list for audible.com. IT and The Stand. I commute for over 2 hours each day and like a substantial book. I somehow missed when IT was released on Audible, but downloaded it this month and it is amazing. Over 40 hours of material, (a little too much background in some cases), but it has been so long since I read this book that it was brand new to me and absolutely riveting the way it unfolds between what happened in the past and the present (1985). But the most amazing part is Steven Weber as the reader. I didn't know what to think going in knowing him from Wings and The Shining remake. But, I must say that he is possibly the best reader I have experience in the 250 books I have listened to. I put him even ahead of the standards - Scott Brick and Frank Muller. I would love to see the Stand come to life with him as the narrator. If you like classic Stephen King and you have the time to commit to an epic novel of this size, you will not be disappointed.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Shopbot Review
The Toshiba Satellite L750 is a multimedia notebook aimed squarely at private users with average requirements and who want to occasionally play a little game besides office tasks, pictures and movies.
It features 15.6" Widescreen HD LED Display, Intel Core i7-2670QM processor and 640GB SATA Hard Drive Size.
The Toshiba Satellite L750 is finished in a glossy grey patterned finish on the lid and palm-rest with a black escutcheon on the screen and keyboard. There is a variation which offers an all-white finish which may please the "minimalist" look. The limitation with the glossy finish is that finger marks can show up more easily, thus becoming a high-maintenance finish.
The L750 has the same size and thickness as the other laptops in its class thus being able to fit in drawers or old-fashioned writing desks.
The keyboard is a full-width keyboard with a regular numeric keypad. This works well for touch-typing yet has a "level" feel.
There is a trackpad which is highlighted by a rough surface on the palmrest as well as two large glossy buttons that work as the equivalent of the mouse buttons.
The Toshiba Satellite L750 has a pair of small speakers located above the keyboard but the sound reproduction is the typical quality for most mainstream laptops. If you want to get the best sound out of this one, you would have to connect it to good headphones or speakers or a nice sound system.
Due to the use of the NVIDIA discrete graphics subsystem and dedicated graphics memory, this computer would work well for proper graphics performance on most games and multimedia applications.
One feature that may annoy some users is the use of a glossy screen. This would cause distracting reflections in well-lit environments like outdoors or most household family rooms.
The Toshiba Satellite L750 doesn't implement the dual-graphics functionality that allows for battery economy during basic text-editing or Web-browsing tasks. This has caused it to run out of power too quickly on text-based or mixed-task work including Web browsing.
For the price range, the computer shows very good build quality. It also hasn't shown a tendency to run too hot which will benefit those who use high-performance applications.
Overall, The Toshiba Satellite L750, is recommended for use as a "family computer" for most households where it will get a lot of use. As well, it would also work well for small-business users who just want to get started with a "work-home" laptop.

Golden State Warriors enjoying success around Andrew Bogut's return
- Updated: February 7, 2013
Since making his return against the Toronto Raptors on January 28, Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut has made his presence felt in a surprising yet effective return.
After missing 38 games due to his left ankle rehab, Bogut was effective from start to finish and looked as healthy and nimble as can be. Averaging about 24 minutes a start, the team has put a minutes restriction for the games he plays in and is not allowed to play in back-to-back games until after the All-Star break.
Since returning, the Warriors are 3-1 in games he plays in. Here's a look at how he has performed since his hiatus.
January 29 at Toronto Raptors (114-102 win)
Stat line: 23:36 minutes, 6 for 8, 12 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, four blocks, three fouls, two turnovers
Bogut demonstrated good play on both ends of the court in his return, moved well and put together a nice stat line. His big return was unfortunately overshadowed by Stephen's Curry ankle injury in the third quarter, as it put doubt in the eyes of many as to whether they'd ever see the two play together again this season.
January 31 vs. Dallas Mavericks (100-97 win)
Stat line: 25:28 minutes, 3 for 9, eight points, five rebounds, one assist, three blocks, four fouls, one turnover
With Curry out for the game, the center made a big impact, particularly on the team's entire defensive presence thanks to a shot-blocking threat in the post. Although not seen on Bogut's stat line, David Lee greatly benefited from playing alongside him at home for the first time since November 7 with nine assists in the win.
February 2 vs. Phoenix Suns (113-93 win)
Stat line: 24:40 minutes, 5 for 9, 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks, three fouls
Curry comes back for this game and Bogut once again proved vital in the team's passing game and overall offensive efficiency. Posting a season-high 34 assists against the Suns, the Warriors were able to dissect an inferior defensive squad and really showcased what they could do with a healthy and acclimated Bogut.
February 5 at Houston Rockets (140-109 loss)
Stat line: 24:31 minutes, 5 for 9, 10 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one block, three fouls
In a game that got out of hand quickly due to the Rockets' hot shooting from 3-point range, the team's four-game winning streak since Bogut's return was quickly extinguished. In his first below-average performance since his return, he was essentially a non-factor in the second half despite finishing the game with a nice number of points and rebounds.

Sarah Dagwell gave an initial presentation on 'Why do we need a waste strategy', This was followed by a presentation by AEA on the progress to date in producing the waste strategy and the BPEO process. Ian Hargraves then presented the MWF preferred principles for the strategy. Questions for clarification were answered. Sarah Dagwell then gave a presentation on where we currently are with waste reduction and recycling in Medway. Delegates were asked to indicate the level of recycling they would like to see achieved within Medway. What level of recycling should Medway be aiming to achieve? Results at the high end; between 80-95% (average from the workshop). The general comments from the forum were they would like to see Medway Council adopt their 'Zero Waste' policy. Delegates were then asked to comment on the following two questions related to waste reduction and recycling: What do you think we should be doing to reduce waste at source? Responses Max no of black bags Government legislation on packaging Manufactures take-back Check street by street black bag contents Packaging – supermarkets – pressure Consumables – better use - durability Banning plastics bags – recycle or paper bags Unwanted equipment collection Better literature Educating gap between children and older generation Packaging tax Less packaging – manufactures and sellers Paper bags in supermarkets or no bags at all Waste diversion, reuse first Reduce amount of black bags – the actual bags Promote real nappies Communication and adverts from Council + in the schools Less of a consumer society Adopting sales techniques to reduce waste e.g. cutting of wood What do you think we should be doing to increase recycling and composting? Responses Pay as you throw Incentives for recycling – fines/compulsory Weekly collections blue bins Encourage recycling – ease of use, larger containers, flexibility What we recycle – glass at kerbside, kitchen waste, all plastics Reducing packaging – no free carrier bags, customer choice? Flexible waste sites – cope with 4x4 etc, remove height barriers More bring sites HWRC - Isle of Grain – rural areas Wood Recycling credits for reuse Incentives to manufacturers to make recycled products League tables of parishes etc. Publicise recycling to businesses Become involved in commercial waste – social Advertising in press to promote recycling Publicise recycling of materials not recycled by Medway Council e.g. toner cartridges Publicise CD that explains household recycling Educating school children - school collections Arrange another trip to Rainham MRF Kerbside collection of glass – what happens to white glass that has some coloured components Why does waste go to Rainham – where does it go after that? Have MC considered using environmentally friendly fuels for collection vehicles? Make sure collection company is paid for what they do Yalding Organic Gardens – good talk on home composting Wye Cycle – ask for info Plastic confusion – what types can/can't be recycled Facilities suitable for each area Police the recycling - spot checks Groups for recycling e.g. scouts Communication and advertising – what they should be recycling; what to put in which bin?; different bins/materials (currently not maximising); blue bag system not suitable capacity Weekly collections of brown bins and blue boxes Make it harder not to recycle – limit amount of waste collected or charge or collect fortnightly Introduce deposit bottles Recycling message more positive Waste collection – need unified system confusion with bins (Gillingham) and bags (Rochester) Russell Davies gave a presentation on the range of treatments being considered for dealing with the residual waste. Delegates were then asked for their comments on residual waste treatment and to undertake a ranking exercise as part of the BPEO. Dealing with residual waste Responses What do other countries do – e.g. Germany - MBT, but amount does go to incineration Germany – residents are charged Plastic recycling facilities What is the cheapest but environmentally friendly option – least of all evils Bio-diesel – pollution Air quality – pollution Where will these facilities be located? Public enquires have shown in the past that incineration was not an option Best option is no waste to landfill - however this is not possible, so next best option should be bio treatment Risk of having ever increasing size of incineration which would result in waste imported to Medway Don't want to import or export waste for incineration Incineration would be source of aggravation for many years. We need to learn from other best practise examples e.g. Canberra Transport – Lorry movements must be considered Should look at commercial and domestic waste together – find common solution Waste reduction is the best option Are we suggesting that Medway needs a landfill – as most options require some landfill If no incineration why is it being considered – is it an option? Why does our waste not go by water (to Rainham)? No import/export of waste - find a solution in Medway Don't even think about burning it BPEO ranking exercise Average Objective % Ranking 1. To ensure prudent use of land and other resources 6.0 7 2. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions 18.8 2 3. To minimise air quality impacts 19.5 1 4. To conserve landscapes and townscapes 9.0 =4 5. To protect local amenity 5.0 8 6. To minimise adverse effects on water quality 10.5 3 7. To minimise local transport impacts 9.0 =4 8. To provide employment opportunities 2.7 =12 9. To provide opportunities for public involvement / education 8.8 6 10. To minimise costs of waste management 4.2 9 11. To ensure reliability of delivery 2.7 =12 12. To conform with waste policy 3.8 10 30 in total returned, 29 on the night and 1 returned by post. (2 further forms were incomplete and could not be used) Delegates were then asked for general comments on the councils approach to the waste strategy and the meeting. What is your view about the outline approach? Responses More consultation Better publicity Too rushed Too technical – make simpler Consultation @ parish councils Public consultation in the different geographical areas (in the peninsular especially) MWF to get involved in reaching out to the public Ask the children (schools) Not enough time Too technical Not enough time to do BPEO form What we want, preferred option – reduce, recycle…..MBT (juniper report worldwide not here)…. Incineration not an option Involve parish Councils Locally publicise public meetings – local media (blitz media), important to get info out Target schools and younger people – in a positive way Promote the positive side of options etc. Looking to other areas for best practice Get feedback from waste management industry – people who would run the plant Needs to have current data only – best data only More information about all alternatives – simple stuff not numbers – including info about site, size etc. It is not clear if we have to choose the options – can they have more than one of them? Potential for a voting system to include whole of area By calling incineration 'Waste for Energy' it is giving a false impression Evening is too short for this exercise, perhaps a whole day Resident groups – engaging Repeat meeting when necessary – perhaps when draft report is produced Different meeting targeted at different age groups, different starting times Advertise in Medway Matters – school tactics; use stats LA21 becoming more inclusive – involving the ethnic forum Consult with business Facilities for commercial waste There was then an opportunity for clarification questions, followed by a statement from MWF on future working with Medway and the meeting was closed by Diana Lock. 3 What will happen to the workshop output?

Fancy dim sum. Fancy prices.
An "all-day grazing experience, specialising in modern authentic dim sum, as well as wok-friendly dishes and other 'small eats'", Yauatcha is another venture by Alan Yau, which opened in 2004 and was awarded a Michelin star within a year.
My brother and his now fiancée Alex had been to Yauatcha before and as a birthday treat to me offered to take Antonia and I one Friday night – thanks guys! We were seated upstairs, which has a lounge feel and incorporates a Franco-Asian pâtisserie counter along one side. The tables are low, meaning the seats are even lower, which did my knees no favours. Downstairs feels classier, with low lighting and classier decor.
We ordered a few dim sum dishes, some main courses and sides all for the table to share. The Char Siu Buns (£4.20) were a bit low on filling but the small amount there was tasted delicious. The Chinese Chive and Prawn Dumplings (£5.60) were impressive as was the Pan-fried Turnip Cake with dried shrimp (£5.50) – an often overlooked classic. To round off the dim sum we had a portion of Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf with chicken and dried shrimp (£5), which was pretty authentic.
On to the main courses we ordered Stir-fry Double Cooked Pork Belly in chilli sauce (£11.30), Thai Style Chicken with mango, papaya and chilli, coriander (£13.80) and a side of Spicy Aubergine, Sato Bean, Okra and French Beans with peanut (£12.90), a portion of Beef Ho Fun (£11) and a pot of Jasmine Rice (£2.20). The pork was decent, but nothing special. The ho fun at Yauatcha wasn't as good as places like Phoenix Palace or Gerrard's Corner. The chicken however was a revelation! Crispy, zingy, fresh, stunning – it was a shame we had to share it!
Being a birthday meal, there was an inevitable dessert with a candle and a bunch of staff singing "Happy birthday dear ______… Happy birthday to yooooou!". My brother had gone over to the dessert counter on his way to the bathroom and picked out the Apple Pie (£8.50). Pretty cool dessert with a mousse on top shaped to look like an apple.
Yauatcha was a bit disappointing for me and there was only one stand out dish – the Thai Style Chicken. It's a good place for suits to take clients but if you're after dim sum, go somewhere else – it's overpriced here and if you want authentic Chinese dishes, go to an authentic Chinese restaurant. For not much more money you could go to Kai Mayfair and that always impresses.

brand roadmaps
Posted by Dale Buss on December 18, 2014 02:05 PM
Campbell's Soup has come a long way from the simple days when its iconic slogan "M'm M'm Good!" meant that sales were as healthy as a steaming bowl of tomato soup. Today's internal catchphrase for the company is "Real Food That Matters for Life's Moments." And therein lies a new tale.
Under CEO Denise Morrison, who is now entering her fourth year, Campbell has tried mightily to resurrect sales of its staple product: Mainstream soups. The company has tried taking salt out and then putting it back in. It has tried riotous new flavors and uncommon packaging to attract millennials who haven't grown up on soup. It has called the stuff "Go Soup!" and come up with recipe apps for soup. Campbell also has tried various pricing and other promotional gambits.
But even the occasional wins in the soup category have turned out to be chimeras. For example, for the quarter that ended Nov. 2, Campbell's U.S. soup sales were up by 6 percent—just the second time that has happened in 15 months. But the gain was a false one, BuzzFeed reported, in that it occurred mainly because big retailers including Walmart made holiday orders earlier than usual.Continue reading...

Campbell Soup already has tried just about everything in its efforts to jump-start growth in the last few years under CEO Denise Morrison. And now the packaged-goods giant says it's going to try more of just about everything in a bid to finally get over the stagnation hump—and supercharge revenues by 20 percent to become a $10 billion company within the next five years.
Morrison plans to reach that goal with a flurry of new products, greater leveraging of Campbell's recent acquisitions and the likelihood of more acquisitions ahead to counter the slow-growth "new normal" in the US packaged-goods industry and to pick up the company's uneven recent efforts to spur new organic growth.
She and other Campbell executives told an investor conference this week that, among other things, they plan a blitz of more than 200 new products in 2015 that will include protein bars and shakes to capitalize on the protein trend, the first organic varieties of Campbell Soup including flavors such as chicken tortilla and garden vegetable, and a new range of V8 flavors that seek to seize on the juicing trend with varieties such as Purple Power, a veggie blend with beets.Continue reading...

brand challenges
Posted by Dale Buss on May 21, 2014 06:17 PM
Campbell's has tried just about every which way to get Americans to eat more soup over the last three years under new CEO Denise Morrison: Aim at Millennials and Latin Americans; cut salt; add taste; try new shelf-stable packaging; hold prices steady; cut prices.
The bottom line is that none of it seems to be working all that well. The Campbell Soup Company reported that sales of its soups in channels measured by SymphonyIRI declined by more than 1 percent in the 52 weeks ended April 27 while the category as a whole declined by 0.6 percent. So not only is Campbell's seeing declining US consumption of soup but it also is losing share of that lower intake.
Morrison professed on a conference call to have a handle on the situation, but she also lowered Campbell's sales expectations for the coming months.
"I can assure you that we are examining the same questions that you [analysts] are, and we are formulating the most effective responses," she said.Continue reading...

digital moves

"Digital fitness is about both a lifestyle choice and an everyday commitment," commented Adam Kmiec, global head of digital and social for the Campbell Soup Company, to Digiday. That's why he's leading the venerable 144-year-old Campbell's brand to be as digitally 'fit' as possible with the launch of a "Digital Fitness Accelerator Kit."
Think of it as digital internal brand engagement, and a bootcamp for employees to get with the social web, mobile and other platforms that will help them better understand where their customers—and business—are going.
The kit, which is being tested among a group of Cambell's employees, includes devices like Roku, Jawbone Up, FitBit Flex, Nike Fuel Band or Lark, recommended apps (paid and free) with a $10 iTunes card for downloads, and a suggested reading list including digital marketing tomes Mitch Joel's Six Pixels of Separation and Stephen Baker's The Numerati.
"These items are shaping the ways people connect with each other and manage their lives," Kmiec told Digiday. "Each item in the kit was carefully selected—it had to be relevant, actionable and tied directly to consumer and business trends we believe are important."Continue reading...

AT&T has landed at top spot on CR Magazine's 14th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens List, beating out other top Russell 1000 large-capitalization companies on merits including human rights and corporate governance.
Rounding out the top 10 on the new list: Mattel, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eaton Corp, Intel, Gap, Hasbro, Merck & Co., Campbell Soup Co. and Coca-Cola.
The ranking crunches 298 data points of disclosure and performance measures across seven categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights, governance, finance and philanthropy.
Notably, 26 companies on the 2013 list were not on the 2012 list, while 11 companies have appeared on the list every year since 2007. For those that were bestowed the honor, many were quick to highlight the significance of employee participation to the success of the company's initiatives.Continue reading...

When it comes to product strategy, Campbell Soup has gone through more twists and turns over the last several years than one of the noodles in its classic Chicken Noodle Soup.
The world's leading maker of soup has come up with heartier flavors and lighter flavors, chunkier textures, new ingredients, heart-healthy blends — you name it. The company also has infamously tacked back and forth about sodium reduction in its soups, firset embracing the idea as a major new platform and then, recently, trimming back its salt-cutting ambitions in the interests of taste.
Once again, Campbell is stirring the pot, this time under new CEO Denise Morrison, who presented her strategy to analysts in New York this week that the Campbell Soup Company has a few things cooking to jump-start growth.
Her new approach "requires moving from a high dependence on line extensions to more disruptive innovation, new and differentiated products, packaging and category segments that create new pathways for growth."Continue reading...

Tim Allen is the new voice of Campbell's Soup — and of Chevrolet, which is something of a coup (not coupe) for GM.
Following on the heels of Robert Downey Jr.'s deal to become the new voice of Nissan, Allen's sonic branding of Chevrolet is a natural fit for the veteran actor and comedian.
Beginning with advertising voiceover work for the launch of the new Chevy Cruze small car this fall, the likeable, recognizable Allen is a bona fide automotive enthusiast, which attracted the new stewards of the Chevy brand to tap him for a vocal marketing campaign worthy of some of their hot new vehicles.Continue reading...

So far from my ranked experience is this 1: ONLY play when you are feeling okay or are happy. If you raged last game just go play normals or play some Robot Unicorn Attack till your feeling better. Never play when your mad. you will lose. 2: Ranked is just a game. There's no need to get so mad. in the end that person who is doing bad will go down and you, if you keep a level head will go up. 3: We all know there are ******bags in games but think of your team over yourself because that's how you will win. if someone locks in ADC when you called it, don't flame him just fill in. 4: DON'T FEED. That's self explanatory. if you lose your lane that's fine. just understand you don't need to be a hotshot every game. just farm up and make a positive difference late game or just roam (Don't forget to Cs When you can) Just 1 last though, any role can carry, even supports. what i like to do when playing support is roam like crazy. if you see a gank going on mid head up there the adc can still farm and maybe you can get in and save the mid which makes them more confident and they will be more likely to play better.
P.s. understand if your below 1200 your going to hit all the ppl going down to 400 elo. just accept it and try to win.
It has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with luck. You get a bad hand on a game you really needed, you never move up. You only move down. New bad system is new and bad.
its the same as ever. its that attitude that is keeping you at your elo, whatever it may be.

I'm slowly clawing my way out of Bronze and ELO Hell is very real. I have friends who play at my skill level who just keep sinking further into the abyss that is Bronze V. For people to say that attitude is keeping people in low ranked divisions is naive at best. Of course, in the ridiculous scenario that you can outright carry 60% of your games with moderately competent teammates, you'll see steady advancement. The rating system is particularly flawed at the lowest end of the spectrum, where trolls and unskilled players who are unwilling to learn or cooperate are rampant. I main support in ranked, with my reasoning being: -it's rarely called -I don't want a member of my team (who is often one of the last picks) to be stuck playing a role they aren't enthusiastic over -I'd rather be the one providing crucial services for my team because I can rely on myself The problem with this is that the supports I play don't carry teams. At best, I feed my team kills and stop them from being killed so that they can carry. Ultimately, it is up to the more combat effective players on my team to lead us to victory. As for being stuck in low divisions, my best advice is to never solo queue. I almost always go in with at least one other person (often people I have some familiarity playing with) so that we can better coordinate and it has me winning more games than I lose.
I'm only using the term ELO Hell as the condition of being sucked into a downward spiral of losses regardless of the individual player's attitude, skill, or ability to adapt to changing conditions.

If you want to move up, master he jungle (specifically tankier characters like Rammus). You can have an effect on every lane, while feeding your team the kills. Stay smart, keep your team fed and you will win a MUCH higher percent. Kha'zix was my main jungle and i was baffled by how much I would lose. I average 8/4/7 with him but would lose 65% of my games. Rammus lets me spread the wealth to less skilled players and has bumped my win rate to about 60% It isn't going to guarantee wins, but it will put you in the best place to support some of your weaker teammates

Pro Stock Drag Racing History
Hey everyone, I have some cool PDF stories and images taken from our new book "The Dawn of Pro Stock" and I would like to share them on here, any recommendations?
Here is the subject of the book: "Legendary drag racing photographer Reyes was trackside at the biggest and best NHRA events from the mid 1960s throughout the 1990s. He had a unique perspective on the development of Pro Stock, as he was able to document the evolution of both the cars and drivers as he observed them throughout the season. For a genuine insider's view, Steve has gotten together the very best shots he had, and supplemented them with some great images from his contemporaries to offer this new collection. Steve's own observations punctuate the outstanding images to give the reader a trackside view of Pro Stock's early days unlike any offered before." I would love to share these PDF downloads that include 4 really cool stories from the book, thanks! Zac CarTech Books |

The Gift of the Banya: An Enlightening and Freeing Journey Through the Russian Baths
Book Reviews, Memoir, Nonfiction No Comments »"With Light Steam: A Personal Journey through the Russian Baths," by Bryon MacWilliams, captures the fractured identity of contemporary Russia with high fidelity in a way that is at once tender and clear-eyed. This book is introspective American travel writing at its best. A genre-defying mosaic of memoir, historical research and a reflection on time and place, "With Light Steam" is easily in a league with "Travels in Siberia," by Ian Frazier for spectacular American travel writing on Russia.
MacWilliams takes the reader on an insightful, but never belabored tour of the history of Russian baths, which play a major role in the nation's history if for no other reason than that many major events of Russian history occurred in these steamy rooms (e.g. in an act that initiated the early Russian state as an independent power, its matriarch, Princess Olga, burned to death an entire delegation of Drevlians—a rival tribe—in a banya to revenge her husband's death).

Power: Why Some People Have It—and Others Don'tIn this crowning achievement, one of the greatest minds in management theory reveals how to succeed and wield power in the real world. Over decades of consulting with corporations and teaching MBA students the nuances of organizational power, Jeffrey Pfeffer has watched numerous people suffer career reversals even as others prevail despite the odds. Our most common mistake is not having a realistic understanding of what makes some people more successful than others. By believing that life is fair, we tend to subscribe to the "just-world phenomenon," which leaves us unprepared for the challenges and competition of the real world. Now Pfeffer brings decades of his incredible insights to a wider audience. Brimming with counterintuitive advice, numerous examples from various countries, and surprising findings based on his research, this groundbreaking guide reveals the strategies and tactics that separate the winners from the losers. Power, he argues, is a force that can be used and harnessed not only for individual gain but also for the benefit of organizations and society. Power, however, is not something that can be learned from those in charge—their advice often puts a rosy spin on their ascent and focuses on what should have worked, rather than what actually did. Instead, Pfeffer reveals the true paths to power and career success. Iconoclastic and grounded in the realpolitik of human interaction, Power is an essential organizational survival manual and a new standard in the field of leadership and management. |

The Basics of Insuring a Collector or Modified Car with J.C. Taylor
By Ashley Majeski Smissen
Insuring a collector or modified car is a lot easier—and a lot cheaper—than you would think. While the owners may think it's easier to put the collector or modified car on their regular auto insurance plan, that can be a very costly mistake, according to Neil Roberts, an underwriter at J.C. Taylor, an insurance agency that exclusively insures these types of cars.
"You can use a mainstream carrier and never have any problems, of course," Roberts said. "But if there's a total loss, they treat it as a standard deprecating vehicle, so you'll get the book value. If it's an older vehicle, believe or not, you might get a couple hundred bucks. The biggest difference is that J.C. Taylor guarantees the value of the vehicle in the event of a total loss."
Roberts added that whether the vehicle is insured for $20,000 or $1.2 million with J.C. Taylor, and there is a total loss of the car, that's the full amount that the car's owner will receive.
While there are numerous specialty insurance companies out there, J.C. Taylor is unique in that they have two different programs—one for antique vehicles (a car or truck that's at least 19 years old and factory original) and one for modified vehicles (which covers things like kit cars, custom street rods and replicas). While each program has its own regulations, there are a few things the company requires, regardless of which program you use. "The vehicle must be garage-kept and in good condition for us to insure it," said the company's marketing director, John Cookson. "It must also be a hobby vehicle—it can't be your daily driver. Actually, we require that you also have a daily driver or we won't insure you."

PAULS VALLEY — The parents of a woman found shot to death in 2000 are offering $100,000 of their savings to anyone who can lead them to a killer.
Oklahoma parents offer $100,000 reward in quest to find killer
The announcement outside the Garvin County Courthouse Wednesday comes just weeks after the sheriff opened a homicide investigation into the death of Chanda Turner.
Turner, a former homecoming queen at Elmore City High School, was 23 when she was shot in the chest and died on the porch of a rural farmhouse southwest of Pauls Valley.
"For 12 years, information has been coming to us so we think it's possible that there's more," Turner's mother, Donna, said.
The cold case heated up in November when the state medical examiner amended the manner of death on Chanda Turner's death certificate from suicide to undetermined.
Donna Turner and her husband, Joe, have said for 12 years that officials bungled the investigation into their daughter's death.
On Thursday, the Turners and Sheriff Larry Rhodes said the new developments bring them closer to finding justice for Chanda.
"We've got to let the evidence lead us to what was done," Joe Turner said. "Me and Donna have done all we can do. We got the death certificate changed; it's up to Larry Rhodes and God."
Rhodes said he decided to reopen the case based on information that was not reviewed previously, including additional witness statements and physical evidence.

It's ok if you don't look closely This table is pretty crappy quality. It's not truly chrome, it's cheap metal that has been poorly/inconsistently coated - there is already some rust spots on it. The welds on the corners look pretty bad. Overall for the quality I think this table is bit overpriced. I'm keeping it for now, it looks fine from afar and I needed a cheap chrome side table for my living room - but I will be replacing for something of higher quality in the future.

Nice End Table for the Price Bought this recently as a complement to the matching coffee table. This is a nicely designed and easy to assemble end table (the assembly requiring five minutes). It takes up little visual space, and, also, little physical space (vs. several alternatives). This is what we were looking for in our office/den. It is a great buy for the price and was quickly shipped to us. It looks exactly as it does online.

Decent End Table Solid, thick glass top, but with legs that are a bit cheap. Out of the box the end table was wobbly, but a simple piece of felt that I glued on the bottom of one leg solved that quickly. Nice, modern look.

Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

How to Arrange End Tables
You can use end tables in so many more places than just the two ends of your sofa. Look around your home and see where you could use a decorative accent piece, a little bit of storage, or just a place to set something down. Then you can shop for the end tables that will fill all of those needs.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
Nightstand Buying Guide
To create a balanced atmosphere in your bedroom, finding the right nightstand is essential. A nightstand is an end table for the bedroom.

All night stands are built with your basic bedside requirements in mind, but there are important distinctions in nightstand utility and style.
