- 30 Jul 2014 Adam Canada
- " The hostel was great. The reason I gave it a lower mark on the facilities was that I was unable to find an alternate WC on the same floor. When you share a room with other travellers having an extra or alternate WC option goes a long way. Other than that, it was a great place to crash for the night. Alice at the front desk was very nice and incredibly accommodating. I had a phone 'adaptateur' problem and she went out of her way to assist me. Thumbs up. "

One of the most popular and widely known characters in all of fiction, Sherlock Holmes has an enduring appeal based largely on his uncanny ability to make the most remarkable deductions from the most mundane facts. The very first words that Sherlock Holmes ever says to Dr. Watson are, "How are you? You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Watson responds, "How on earth did you know that?" And so a crime-solving legend is born.
In The Scientific Sherlock Holmes, James O'Brien provides an in-depth look at Holmes's use of science in his investigations. Indeed, one reason for Holmes's appeal is his frequent use of the scientific method and the vast scientific knowledge which he drew upon to solve mysteries. For instance, in heart of the book, the author reveals that Holmes was a pioneer of forensic science, making use of fingerprinting well before Scotland Yard itself had adopted the method. One of the more appealing aspects of the book is how the author includes real-world background on topics such as handwriting analysis, describing how it was used to capture the New York Zodiac killer and to clinch the case against the Lindbergh baby kidnapper.
Sherlock Holmes was knowledgeable about several sciences, most notably chemistry. Therefore the book takes a close look at Holmes the chemist and discusses, for example, chemical poisons such as carbon monoxide, chloroform, and Prussic acid (the historical name for hydrogen cyanide). The author also debunks Isaac Asimov's famous assertion that Holmes was a blundering chemist. In addition, the book discusses mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, meteorology, and geology, always in the context of Holmes's exploits.
Sherlock Holmes continues to fascinate millions of readers and movie goers alike. The Scientific Sherlock Holmes is a must-read for the legion of fans of this most beloved of all fictional detectives.
Jim O'Brien is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Missouri State University. A lifelong fan of Holmes, O'Brien presented his paper "What Kind of Chemist Was Sherlock Holmes" at the 1992 national American Chemical Society meeting, which resulted in an invitation to write a chapter on Holmes the chemist in the book Chemistry and Science Fiction. O'Brien has since given over 120 lectures on Holmes and science. In 1996, O'Brien taught a college course on Holmes in London.

American Arms Dealer Who Sold To Libya Has Died
A former CIA operative who was convicted of selling arms to Libya has died. Edwin Wilson was 84. Wilson was branded a traitor and a "death merchant" in the 1980s for shipping 20 tons of explosives to Libya. His conviction was thrown out by a federal judge in 2003. Melissa Block talks to Joseph Trento, author of a book about the CIA called Prelude to Terror.

He was a former CIA operative turned high-flying global arms dealer. Edwin Wilson, who became known as The Merchant of Death, has died at age 84. Wilson served 22 years in prison, after he was convicted of illegally selling tons of plastic explosives to Libya and plotting to kill federal prosecutors. In a jailhouse interview with NPR in 1986, Wilson said he wanted to clear his and his family's name.
EDWIN WILSON: I'm not crying about it. What can I do about it? All I got to do is keep fighting. Eventually, maybe I can get - maybe the truth will come out. You see, everybody keeps saying, Wilson's always got a lot of excuses. I don't have any excuses. I'm just telling truth. And I'm challenging you to go back and check all the facts out. Go tell the truth. If I'm wrong, fine, just tell the truth.
BLOCK: Well, in 2004, Edwin Wilson was set free after a judge found prosecutors had deliberately deceived the court.
Joining me to talk about Wilson's life is Joseph Trento, the author of "Prelude to Terror," which traces the story of Wilson's path to prison. Mr. Trento, thanks for being with us.
JOSEPH TRENTO: Thanks for having me. It's a sad day that Ed passed away, but he had quite a history.
BLOCK: Well, let's talk about that history. He was a CIA operative from 1955 to 1971, was with Naval Intelligence after that. And when he left, he made millions in the arms trade. Why don't you describe the nature of his business.
TRENTO: If you needed to get something really terrible to a foreign government, Wilson could do that for you, and it would not have the U.S. fingerprints on it even though it came under U.S. orders. So, for example, if the Shah of Iran needed new devices to torture people with, Wilson would give those devices in the Shah of Iran. And he did the same thing with governments all over the world.
BLOCK: And you're saying this is after he officially left the agency.
TRENTO: Oh, yeah. He never really left the agency. And, in fact, his top officials at the agency tried to take over his businesses. And the reason he was prosecuted was because they were trying to take his business away from him and out from under him. And the way they did that was they went to federal prosecutors and spun a tale about Wilson doing all of this stuff in an unauthorized fashion. And that's what got him under the eyes of the prosecutors under investigation.
BLOCK: Edwin Wilson was convicted in three of four trials. He was found guilty of a plot to kill prosecutors who were handling the case, where he was accused of exporting 20 tons of C4 plastic explosives to Libya, under Moammar Gadhafi. What was his defense? Was he claiming that he didn't sell these explosives, or just that the CIA knew about it or sanctioned it?
TRENTO: That the CIA knew, that it was sanctioned and he was reporting back to the CIA the whole time. And the issue was the CIA claimed that there was no evidence in the CIA files that he was working for them. Well, there was. There were more than 80 contacts that they kept from the courts.
BLOCK: And, ultimately, he served 22 years, mostly in solitary confinement in prison. He did manage to get his conviction overturned. How did he do it?
TRENTO: Well, he was a maniac on the Freedom of Information Act. And he kept filing and filing and filing FOIA requests, Privacy Act requests. And he got enough information to get a Houston attorney, a former CIA official, who finally got the information showing that the agency had lied and prosecutors knew about it.
BLOCK: And the federal judge who overturned Wilson's conviction, Lynn Hughes wrote: In the course of Americans justice, one would have to work hard to conceive of a more fundamentally unfair process. Were there a lot of people who disagreed with that, who said no, that Edwin Wilson was rightfully convicted?
TRENTO: Well, those people were wrong. And I'm no fan of Ed Wilson. I mean, he did other things he was never charged with, which probably should have sent him to prison. The problem was that the top officials of the CIA who used Wilson were basically criminals. And this is something that has never really been addressed. For them, it was enough to get Wilson and walk away from it.
BLOCK: That's Joseph Trento, remembering the former CIA operative and arms dealer Edwin Wilson. He died September 10th at age 84.
Mr. Trento, thank you.
TRENTO: You're quite welcome.

"Oo-rah!" shouted the Marines in the audience. I was one of the few civilians, among a thousand service men and women, at the recent BEYA Stars and Stripes dinner hosted by the Marine Corps in Philadelphia. The dinner takes place each year in honor of black engineers. Every time an Air Force or Navy officer won an award, the airmen and sailors cheered. Whenever an Army officer won an award, the soldiers in the room roared. But when a Marine won an award, the other Marines in the audience boomed, "Oo-rah," which has been the Marines' battle cry since the Korean war.
That got me thinking that not enough companies use battle cries. After all, battle cries have been used for thousands of years to unite individuals into a collective identity and to emotionally charge them up before rushing forward to accomplish their mission.
The actual words used in battle cries have varied throughout history. They might reference a diety, as in the Romans' "Deus vult" or "God wills it." They might reference a past event, as when Texan fighters cried out, "Remember the Alamo!" Or be fatalistic, like the Spanish Foreign Legions' "Viva la Muerta," which means long live death. Or it can be a nonsensical sound like the Marines' "Oo-rah" or the Army's "Hooah."
So, what kind of battle cry should a company have? What should it be based on?
Every company should have a battle cry that is based on its overarching goals. It can be your "big, hairy, audacious goal," as Jim Collins refers to it. Or it can be your most important annual metric. Regardless, your battle cry should be specific and measurable.
Creating a battle cry is one of the simplest and yet most powerful things leaders can do to increase engagement and alignment. Employee engagement—currently at record lows—is partly dependent on employees feeling confident in the future. How can they be engaged if they don't even know what their company's goals are, let alone how they fit in? A goal-based battle cry will keep the future vision at top of mind of all employees, and it's the first step in aligning their own goals and job actions.
An effective company battle cry should be short and memorable; it isn't supposed to summarize your entire strategic plan. It should reflect your aspirational future. Here are a few real-world examples of battle cries from various companies.
However, it doesn't always have to be about revenue. Here is another example of a growth metric.
Not all battle cries need to consist of numbers, either. Here is an example of an acronym.
If you are a fast growing small business, you should actually set a battle cry for every quarter. When I started my life-science education company, Axiom, we had "Fast Start 100" for our very first quarterly battle cry. It represented that, among all the other things any new startup needs to do, we needed to focus on reaching out to 100 companies, which we identified as our "dream clients." We created a "Fast Start" dashboard, listing prospects and progress, and tied it to a "fast start out of the gates" horse-racing theme. We celebrated our achievement with a day at the track.
If you're a front-line manager in a large organization and think battle cries only come from the top down, think again. Just create a battle cry yourself. Even if it is only known on your team, even if it only serves to remind you, it will be an effective way to focus on the big picture.
So are you ready to create a battle cry? Are you ready to unite your team and get an instant boost to employee engagement and alignment? Don't put it off! Call your team together right now.

I tried this a few times and decided it is not for me. This felt horrible on my skin. It was like my skin was burning. I think it did helped with cleaning my pores but my skin felt really dry when I took it off (I have combination skin/normal to dry cheeks). Because of that, it caused my skin to produce more sebum. Hate it when companies add menthol to their products so people feel it "working".

Overall I guess Neutrogena is not a company that
I can use but this product was so overwhellming to my skin. I mean it burned really bad I had to take it off within 30 seconds. It is so strong and maybe because I do not have acne but I like to use cleasnsers and mask but this one is awful

Im not sure how I found out about this product. I think I heard about it from a youtuber. Anyways Im usually a neutrogena fan... but im not sure about this product. I used it once as a mask and it kept my face red for a good hour afterwards. It seemed to clear up my acne because I noticed that my skin calmed down... I guess ill have to give it a few more tries and come back for a final word. Ill give this a few more chances

I remember using this when I was a teenager. Well about 10 years later I am back.
About a year ago I convinced myself that I was over the acne phase of my life and it was time to move into anti-aging and oil control mode. I started using foaming cleansers and strong toners and a ton of SA. While I felt like I was winning against wrinkles I was defiantly losing against pimples.
So after about 8 month, yes, 8 months, I found this on the bottom shelf of my bathroom. The tube is about 10 years old.
I didn't expect it to do much after 10 years but I was wrong. The next day most of my pimples had shrunk and after just 3 or 4 days, my skin looks so much better. Even my boyfriend mentioned it.
I use this twice a day, morning and night. It gets rid of all my makeup including Monistat primer which causes acne if not removed completely. Two or three times a week, I use this with my pretika. I don't use it as a mask because it is probably too harsh and I don't want to risk it.
I am so glad that I made the switch back to BP.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

This is a good cleanser but be careful using it as a mask. You might want to see if your skin agrees with it first by testing it on a small area. I usually use it as a cleanser but tried it as a mask tonight. My skin turned very red and feels warm to the touch. I don't think I have particularly sensitive skin and this has never happened with any other mask. So I probably won't be doing that again but I'll still use it as a cleanser.

I am 32 years old and have had exteremely oily, acne pronse skin ever since I can remember. I've tried expensive stuff like DDF and Peter Thomas Roth and have finally found relief using this cleanser.
I wouldnt reccommend it as a mask unless you have tough skin, but I do leave it sit on my face for just a few minutes while I brush my teeth. Skin feels refreshed and extremely clean witout feeling stripped after use. It seems to be much more effective for me than Sacilyic Acid cleansers.
I've gone through an entire tube of this and can't believe how much clearer my skin looks.
Try It!

Love love love this cleanser!! This has gotten rid of my acne and removed my makeup at the same time. Don't really use the mask maybe once a year lol but its a great cleanser.

I sincerely love this product even though I've only used this product three times. I had a planet on my forehead, but when I used this. The next day, my pimples had shrunken. Idk if this is normal or not, but my face gets itchy here and there. Not super itchy or anything. It also makes my face really soft! Normally cleansers don't do that to my face esp. the last cleanser I had which was Noxzema, it wasn't really doing anything to my skin except keeping it fresh and sort of clean. This product is definitely a must! Okay, only if it works for your skin. I have oily-combination skin and it worked for me cause Neutrogena is for people with combination to oily skin. I think they have products for dry skin people too but I'm not too sure about that. xD
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine

When it comes to benzoyl peroxide, I'm very cautious because of past experiences. I decided that I have an allergy to it because everytime I used it, my skin would become dry, red, flaky, & dull. But I had to see what all the fuss was about and my acne hasn't been responding to salicylic acid. So I bought it and am so happy I did!! My skins finally clearing up and isn't irritated at all. In fact it doesn't even feel dry, just clean and like my pores are finally cleared out..I need a cleanser that does that as I wear foundation pretty much everyday. Yet another great acne product from Nuetrogena!

Rating Today's Computer Makers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My graduating class at Georgia Tech was the last of the slide rule era, as the class of 1966 did not have any class work that involved the use of a computer. As soon as I joined Grumman Aerospace after graduation I knew that computers would be important throughout my business career.
While at Grumman I attended the Farmingdale campus of Brooklyn Poly to get my masters degree including learning programming and the use of computers. I taught myself Fortran which is considered the Latin of programming languages in today's world.
The first computers I used were the IBM 1030 and the mainframe IBM 360. I was fortunate that both Grumman and Brooklyn Poly had IBM 360s and both granted me computer time to hone my skills. As a Grummanite for five years, I worked on projects related to the Lunar Module and my scheduling computer program written in Fortran was used in the preparation for the contract that awarded Grumman the F14 Tomcat fighter program. The Lunar Module put man on the moon in 1969. The deployment of the F-14 began in 1974, and this fighter plane was used into September 2006.
My first job as a Wall Street bond trader was in 1972, and the back office functions of that primary dealer were performed on an IBM 1030 and was written in Fortran. I made a simple change in the software that eliminated the overtime that was used in month-end processing.
It took many years before computers took over the trading desks, but in 1984 I began to develop my proprietary analytics on an Apple 2E. I also used this PC to learn how to type, which came in handy as I transformed my career from trading to research. At the end of 1988 I formed Global Market Consultant and converted a bedroom at home to my office and computer center. The graphics package I used ran on a Sun Sparc workstation. My word documents and spreadsheets were run on two Compaq PCs. Over the years the graphs package migrated to PCs and to laptops, which are my platforms of choice today. My first laptops were IBM Think Pads, and today this platform is now owned by Lenovo. I still use the laptop I purchased in 2007, which still runs using Microsoft's Window XP. As I profile seven computer-related stocks I will describe my personal experiences with products from each company.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I am building a home brewery and am considering the addition of a RIMS heater. My preference is to use RIMS vice HERMS. Based on my reading, it seems that the most prevalent argument against the use of RIMS is the possibility of scorching the wort since most RIMS heaters use a water heater element that is in the recirculated wort flow. So, I was thinking that instead of using a water heater element in direct contact with the wort, I could possibly use flexible heating strips wrapped around the outside of the heating chamber. The heater would be controlled via a temperture controller (possibly a Ranco ETC) with its thermistor on the outlet of the chamber. Has anyone used this method or know of someone who has? If so, does it work? Any lessons learned that I could make use of? Cheers, Ken
You could use heat tape and such. That would certainly help on the issue of scorching the wort. Anything to increase the surface area of the heating element and limit the surface temp to 200F ish will help.
Getting back into brewing...
"My thought was to construct the heater of 1/2" SS pipe." You have to watch that you have enough surface area to transfer the heat. Copper is a much better conductor of heat than SS is. "Most RIMS heaters seem to be made of 1 1/2" pipe so that they are large enough to insert the water heater element. With my idea of wrapping the pipe with heating tape, the chamber itself (ie. the pipe) becomes the heating element for the wort. By using smaller size pipe a greater percentage of the wort is maintained in contact with the heating chamber, which should increase its efficiency." The other issue with heat tape is finding stuff that will work to the desired temps (200F?) and having enough pipe to get enough on to get the required wattage. (Power actually...) I wouldn't build anything less than 1 or 1.5KW, especially if you intend to do step mashes.
Have you taken a look at the open coil water heater elements that fit inside the pipe as an alternative to external heating elements. These type of heating elements are available from plumbing supply and online sources with wattages to 1750W@120 VAC, and if i remember correctly they used to fit inside 1-1/2" pipe that passed through the water heater tank.
The problem with using a lot of open coil water heater elements is that the power level per square inch is too high and it scorches the wort <if run at full power> Look on McMasterCarr's website for info. They list watts/in^2 for all their heaters.
The open coil heater goes inside a 1-1/2" copper tube with a 2" copper tube around it to contain the wort. This should spread out the output from the open coil heater to the entire length of the inner copper pipe~ 12". As long as the flow is kept around .75-1 gpm the wort temperture should not reach the point of scorching as the surface area and limited wattage should limit liquid temperature rise. Down side of this method is the slow response of heater on state to temperature rise and overshoot after heater is shutdown from residual heat.
What kind of coil is it again ? Do you have any pictures ? I'd love to see it.
Here is an example from a RV parts sales outlet, these elements are quite common in the rv industry as burnout resistant water heater elements.http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog...productid=2186

I've been playing TT ever since I started playing League of Legends. Twisted Treeline had the same aspects as Summoners Rift, minus Baron, another lane, and other things. However, TT was run by bruisers, bursters, cc, and well played carries. It had jungling, laning, ganking, aggressive and defensive play; just as Summoners Rifts, but with teams of 3.
This new TT, on the other hand, has some of the above. However wards are taken away, ganking happens much quicker, and laning is holding on by a thread. A lot of the strategy that came with TT is harder to pull off in the new map. With all the matches I've played so far, laning phase early on is just about dead. Teemo has the only wards for TT. An guess what? Bruisers, bursts, cc and well played carries still dominate the selections.
Riot, you claimed that the new TT was supposed to bring in more team comps than what I've listed. I've played with a variety of team comps...well this is my conclusion...instead of making the team comp include more champions, you've actually reduced them. Supports like Sona and Soraka need to farm when the match has so many diving abilities. Things snowball really quickly.
Second, with the addition of the capture points, TT feels too much like Dominion; this makes the game much more fast paced. While it is fun, for a mini version of Summoners Rift, it does not work. The same feel of Summoners Rift, is what got me hooked in TT. That feeling is gone with the new TT.
Third, Riot, you said you wanted to eliminate the turtling and the pulling of minions into the summoner platform turret. You could have played around with the exits to the summoner platform, or make it so minions could only funnel in from one point, or something else. Remaking the entire map probably wasn't the best way to eliminate those problems, because, while it did what you wanted, it created even more issues.
While the new TT has some points I have not mentioned, both good, and bad; the above is what really came to mind for me.
To make both groups happy, I suggest making it so you can choose between the New TT and the old TT. That way both can be enjoyed. But give the new TT a new name. It's honestly not that twisted, physically, anymore.
Well that was my rant on the matter. What do you all think about the new TT?
Is it good, or bad?
What do you dis/like about it?
Does it feel more like Dominion now?
What champions do you normally see in the new TT?
Good post.
Okay so i'm a Dominion player and play it exclusively, sometimes played a game of Sr with friends (although i dislike it) or a Solo TT game because my friends disliked the old TT and thus i never got someone to queue with, excepting with a girl that i met later on an internet cafe but that's another story. SO as a Dominion player i instantly dismmissed it as ignorant knee-jerk reaction and din't even bother to read
, however with free time and the invitation to open discussion i did read it and will answer honestly
Is it good, or bad? imho it's good, previous kitable champions are no longer kitable (sure it makes Olaf Op as hell but well it will balance out) and it opens a lot more strategies, i'd never have dreamed to run Soraka or Warwick on the old TT, Not even Syndra, but with new itemization the guys can be really funny, Vsper's been abusing Syndra's ability to cast while moving with that Sweet ms boost that witchcap gives you, i've facerolled and been facerolled by torch Soraka and the lack of wards make Warwick's E something worth MAxing first, i feel that i can MAx any ability on WW and stay relevant
The New jungle is great, and although smite is not neccessary i stillt ake it to clear and gank fast, i can clear the wraiths before an altar is Unlocked then do Altar fight or cap my altar depending on how the enemy team starts, i no longer feel that i need 3 specific rune pages for 3 specific junglers that were the only junglers able to clear old TT and Solo dragon at low levels to boost.
What do you dis/like about it?
Dislikes:Some items, Hatchet is overpriced and Pillager is way Underpriced and Op anyways 5 useful stats on 1 slot that costs less than a rabbadons a RoA or a scepter that's just broken, i'm hearing the rumour that Pillager is already being removed on the Pbe but it hink a recipe change would be enough of a nerf, getting rid of one of the 5 stats.
The Hextech sweeper Buff, this thing was a Mandatory item on Aps on Dominion already (the utiility is Op as hell even if you don't want to recognize it) but being that expensive it meant you had a clock race to win fights before the Enemy Ap built it (used to need 3 comps) and it only LAsted 6 seconds, Yet it was enough for your team to never get ganked like Ever, and yous hould take in account that DOminion is significantly faster paced and bigger than the new treeline, 10 seconds on the active is just an overbuff Plus Aps can get it now earlier and start building their things
Thingsi like: The New Pacing, Honestly as a Dominion player is still slow as Hell but not the omg 10 minutes break time of Sr, it's cool when i want to playsomething slower paced than Dominion but not so Slow that i fall asleep
- The graphics: they are beautiful simply beautiful
- The giant A$$ pider fight, i'll be Honest when you are killing BAron even if you are Solo you can just stand there and take his bubbles to the face
The spider doesn't allow for that Luxury, her hinderleg combo deals ridicolous damage even for a tank and if your team isn't dodging it you are pretty much screwed even if you are 16 and stacked with lanterns, it makes for a Fun and Epic fight, plus the special attack i can't describe dat feeling when i baited a fight at spider and the Enem ezreal missed a skillshot and hitted the spider, it was an oh **** moment because spider started the fight with pull i used my ult to dodge the pul and supress Ezreal ( i was Warwick) and the spider isntagibbed him winning us the teamfight, that was tbh the MOST epic moment on my league life
-Tons of actives,: this is something i dislike abou Lol in general it doesn't have a lot of them and i feel naked when i don't have any actives on my itemset but the New tt fixes it, when i mainly played Sr i mained support and i would run around with a Minimum of three actives(and still be able to buy wards), if anything i learnt from MMos is that one extra skill can win you Any fight and an active is exactly that, one extra skill
Does it feel more like Dominion now?
For the love of god NO, as i already said i exclusively play Dominion and if Dominion was this slow paced then Revive wouldn't be a Mandatory summonner spell on the gamemode, the New treeline is nowhere near a fastpaced map(i still get to farm my lane in between fights in treeline whereas that's jsut basically suicide on Dominion, (we farm as a Luxury not as a requirement), i would say a medium passed map,(Treeline still encourages farming after you ace or get an objective, and it's pretty much still needed because there's no equally fed status here, you outfarm your opponent or thy outfarm you) with summonner's rift being the slower paced map that plus capture points and the Storm buff in Dominion stays relevant, the only time where you should consider getting an Altar is the first fight so that the enemy doesn't have the gold advatage of+4peri creep and you don't however that's highly dependant on what your team is up to, if you want to focus on Ganking instead of farming why would you even care about a +4gold per last hit, plus the Bonus at Low levels is like +1 to +4 AP and +5to+7 AD, you can just ignore the altars and do important stuff wheras in Dominion when you ignore a capture point that's currently being sieged you pretty much condemnded yourself to defeat, plus A cap point is recoverable, some strategies in Dominion are not to defend hopelessly(like it happens with altars because there's no reliable way of interrupting the capture) if you are the only one around a point and dont have any kind of poke then you dont stay, you let them cap the point, let them split, then you regroou with your team and zerg the point
Plus my point of revive, Run revive in the new treeline and you'll be feeding, kills still give a buckload of gold and deathsprees have an awfully low penalizer where you can kill a guy 5 times straight and still get 200+gold on the last kill, if you've died 5 straight times in Dominion you are worth 12 gold, ( it doesn't even allow your Killer to buy a friggen potion!!) that plus the passive gold gain plus kills only giving 100 base gold makes everyone evenly fed in Dominion, treeline stills offers a champion the opportunity to get overfed. Run revive in Dominion and you just won a fight, and if timed right a game winning fight
What champions do you normally see in the new TT?
Olaf man, i'm starting to hate that guy, specially comps that work around him
Honestly everyone is in experimentation fase, but since treelien normal Elo was resetted
i'm seeing a lot of comps based on one character, Like Soraka+Alistar protecting Jayce, than champions in general, it seems like Sr high Elos and TT high elos alike are working their blind pick comps on comps that fit their playstyle or think would work instead of playing whatever they want (got roflstomped by a Wukong+Taric+Rumble gombo then by a Wukong+Rumble+Malphite Combo and ofc, Olaf+Alistar+ Katarina combo
Seen a lot of Katarinas too, but i suspect it's because she's on Free week and Gd is crying Op at her.

Sohu.com's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before management begins their prepared remarks, I would like to remind you of the Company's Safe Harbor statement in connection with today's conference call. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this conference call are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. For more information about the potential risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its registration statement and most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Now, let me turn the call over to Dr. Charles Zhang, Chairman and CEO. Charles, please proceed.
Charles Zhang
Thank you. Thanks to everyone for joining our call. We had a solid second quarter with total revenues rising nearly 30% from last year, despite challenges faced in our brand advertising business. As China's economic growth continued to decelerate and we initiated some operational transitions in our online video business, revenue from brand advertising recorded only a low single-digit year-on-year increase. But overall, we are pleased with our performance at the group level as our search and online game segments both remained on a solid upward path. For Search, Sogou again posted triple-digit revenue growth on a year-on-year basis. Our online game subsidiary Changyou achieved a record result at both the top and the bottom-line, supported by strong performance with its MMO and web-based game franchises. We believe the blended results help demonstrate the resilience of our business mix and the benefit of having diversified operations. Now I would like to share some second quarter financial highlights with you. Total revenues were US$256 million, up 29% year-on-year and 13% quarter-on-quarter exceeding the high end of our guidance by US$6 million. Net brand advertising revenues were US$69 million, up 2% year-on-year and 14% quarter-on-quarter. Sogou revenues were US$30 million, up 123% year-over-year and 34% quarter-over-quarter. Online games revenue reached a quarterly record of US$137 million, up 35% year-on-year and 8% quarter-over-quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS were US$0.42.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Dear Reader,
It's been 7 new poems and many revisions since the last time I wrote. I confess I've been obsessed. Obsessed with my work and my manuscript. I confess it's harder to be obsessed with poetry when there is celebrity news and commercials for Snuggies. Those things take me to a different level, make me forget what's important while transitioning back into "real life" - in quotes because there's no such thing.
So let's get going. To the confessional--
I confess I said this to my roommates so many times during the writing residency, "I am so excited about what I'm writing, but I'm afraid I'm in the monkey house."
If you watched Project Runway a few seasons ago, you'll know I'm referring to my favorite Tim Gunn quote of all time. I've mentioned the Monkey House before, here, when dealing with titling my manuscript.
But if you don't know the Monkey House story, here it is--
Basically, Tim Gunn goes to visit Chris (one of my favorite designers on that season, btw) and sees that Chris has decided to adorn his clothes with human hair.
Here is Tim Gunn's response:
Tim Gunn (politely gagging):
I have this refrain about the monkey house at the zoo. When you first enter into the monkey house, you think, 'Oh my god this place stinks!'
And then after you're there for 20 minutes you think, 'it's not so bad' and after you're there for an hour it doesn't smell at all. And anyone entering the monkey house freshly thinks, 'this stinks!'
You've been living in the monkey house.
(Can I just confess right now that I *love* Tim Gunn? I do.)
Anyway, back to the Monkey House.
So what happens to me is that when I'm writing and obsessing, I get into this place--and don't get me wrong, it's a good productive place that is ridiculously happy, euphoric even--where I'm so highly focused on my manuscript I lose myself. It's almost as if I've become part of the manuscript, there's no other way to explain this--everything is making sense, I'm seeing the bigger picture, I'm in extreme research mode, I'm reading and filling my brain with content, with themes, with what I need to write these poems.
There is no NPR news, no internet (except my iPad for research when I need it), no phone (literally), my cellphone is turned off, there is no TV, no radio, nothing except other writers who are working on their work, poetry, and books.
And I begin to write what I think are the best poems in the world (and they might be)…or I might be in the Monkey House.
I confess I will not know if I was in the Monkey House until some time has passed.
It's sort of like looking at a photograph of yourself a few years later, when you look back and say, "What the heck was I doing with that hairstyle?" or "Oh my gawd, I was so thin and beautiful."
Sometimes we can't see what's in front of us because our perception is skewed. This happens a lot with young women and their bodies. They are fed all sort of garbagey, airbrushed images from the culture around them that they don't see their own beauty.
And it happens with poems.
A friend of mine will write a start to a poem and not like it. I'll say that I like it and hold onto it, maybe something will come from it. And many times, it does.
I write a poem and think, "Fantastic!" (How I love my newest babies best.) Then a week will pass and I'll say, "Holy doggerel, Batman, what was I thinking? This needs so much work."
I confess there is no one way to be a poet or artist in the world, but for me, I find I most love this life when I am obsessed with my work, finding a good balance between writing and family, and keeping my circle of friends tight. Airtight. Meaning—only staying close to my favorite friends and the GE people (good energy people).
I confess I recently had a friend tell me she'd be devastated if a certain neighbor didn't like her (she lives in a Wisteria Lane type neighborhood filled with kids and families and everyone in everyone else's business). I told her that if she is living authentically and following her own values, not everyone should like her.
Basically if everyone likes you, you're not being yourself.
I confess this is all part of the "retreat mind" I try to stay in after I return from a writing residency. To remember to be who I am.
It's hard coming back because there is a large part of me that wants to still be in Apt. D writing. I don't want to know what I missed. I don't want to know who is sleeping with whom. I don't want to know the details of who wronged who, who is no longer friends, who who who. My small town is village of owls, sometimes.
I'm in the Monkey House and my village is owls. Really, I'm saying, Life is a zoo.
But I confess what I really want to know is – what are you working on? What has inspired you lately? What are you struggling with or the challenges in your art?
Life is funny, the way it pulls us in and out of art, of our writing. Sometimes things that aren't important take the place of what's important to us. It's life, it happens.
Though I confess, there's a game I play with myself —how can I not be part of the trivial? How can I disappear? How can I exist in a way where I'm still part of the community but not? How can I make sure that my moments are filled with the people and projects I love?
A game with no ending, I guess.
Or maybe, it's making sure I've chosen not to participate in the things that take my time or bring me down. Not to partake in too much Facebook. Not to read the entertainment section of HuffPost. Not to allow myself to be sucked into what doesn't matter. It's like that quote from War Games: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?
Or a nice dose of the arts?

Selecting a Basic Set of Cookware
It doesn't take a huge set of cookware to be able to make most recipes. You can cook up a storm with just a few basic pots and pans.
Tips for Selecting Cookware:
- Nonstick surfaces such as Teflon or Silverstone work well but are usually necessary only in sauté pans. Use only wooden or coated utensils when using nonstick surfaces and never place these pans in the dishwasher.
- Here's a tip: Look for basic cookware from restaurant-supply sources. Restaurants use inexpensive but solidly made cookware.
Selecting your Cookware:
- Assess your needs. Basic cookware is fine for those who mostly cook for themselves and don't go gourmet too often.
- Choose a 9- or 10-inch skillet or sauté pan, a 4- or 5-quart pot and a baking or roasting pan to start. You can cook most recipes with these three items.
- Add to your basic set with an extra sauté pan, a 1- or 2-quart saucepan and a larger 8- or 10-quart stockpot.
- Avoid plastic handles if possible - some brands are made to withstand lower oven temperatures, but many others can't be put in the oven.
- Choose cookware with riveted or welded handles. You don't want a handle coming off in your hands as you attempt to remove a pot from the stove.
- Choose stainless steel or thick aluminum cookware if possible. Heavier pans conduct heat more evenly.
- Start out with a spatula, tongs, a vegetable peeler and a few wooden spoons as your basic cooking utensils.
- Be sure to get at least one good, sharp knife.

It takes just a minute to:
Fish is plate-ready when the color turns from translucent to opaque.
Fish is done when the color turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached 140 to 145 degrees F internal temperature. Resist the temptation to overcook fish until it flakes, which indicates the fish is becoming dry.
If you buy fresh seafood, use it the same day or freeze within two days. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Rinse in cold water, drain, and pat dry.
1. Bake
2. Sauté or pan fry
This technique results in food that's crisply tender. Seafood best suited to this technique
includes fish fillets, shrimp, bay scallops, and slipper tails. Firm fish, such as shark, may
also be cut into strips and stir fried.
3. Pan broil
Thicker cuts, at least 1-inch thick, are best so fish doesnt become too dry during
4. Microwave
Almost any boneless fish fillet or steak is suitable for microwaving.
5. Grill
Thicker cuts of steak fish grill more successfully than leaner fish. Use a clean, oiled,
closely spaced grill grate. For smaller fish, a fish grill basket will provide the best
For grill temperature, place a grill surface thermometer on grate or use the hand-count method to determine temperature: Hold the palm of your hand just above grate at cooking height. If heat causes you to pull away in 3 seconds, heat is medium-high (425 degrees F grill surface temperature); if heat causes you to pull away at 4 seconds, heat is medium (375 degrees F).
6. Poach
Almost any fish may be gently cooked in heated liquid, such as wine, water, fish stock, or
7. Deep fry
Fish 1/2-inch thick is ideal for this method.
Monitor oil temperature with a candy thermometer to ensure proper cooking:

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Make the Hot toddy cake (see link, right) in a loose-bottom tin, holding back about 2 tbsp of the mix for later. While it bakes, bake the fruit and nut topping. Melt the butter and golden syrup together, then toss with the nuts, dried fruit and seeds. Set aside; the butter mix will start to cool and thicken.
- Take the cake out of the oven 30 mins before the end of cooking, then gently spread over the remaining cake mix with the back of a spoon. The cake will still be quite soft but will take the weight, don't worry about it sinking. Scatter the fruit and nut mix over the top in an even layer. Bake for the remaining 30 mins until the cake is cooked and the nuts golden. Test for doneness by poking a skewer through the topping and into the cake. If it's underdone, but the nuts are golden, just cover with foil and give it another 10 mins; then test again.
- Leave the cake to cool completely in the tin, so that the nutty topping firms up. Loosen any obviously sticky edges, then push the cake out of the tin from the bottom. Transfer to a cake board or plate and fix the ribbon around the base before serving. Can be kept in an airtight tin for up to a week.

*Terms and conditions apply
Real reviews, from customers like you.
Beautiful old hall, wonderful space and a great stay. The downstairs - kitchen, two dining rooms, living room, games room are all finished to a great standard and lovely. The bedrooms are all furnished fine - a bit mis-matched but do the job. Hot tub was great but the garden could do with a bit of TLC, some decking, paving areas etc. Would be good to have a welcome folder for the property of how things work, what to do nearby, history of the building etc. Overall a great stay (for a 30th birthday weekend) and wouldn't hesitate to go back.
There were not many facilities "on site" but it made a great base for exploring nearby, the staff were friendly and it was a nice location.
We genuinely thought we'd taken a wrong turn when we ended up in some kind of trailer park. We realised we were based across the lane but were really confused as the park was about 75% empty pitches, so strange. We walked to the hall and there were no staff members, just many confused guests. Eventually we found the maintenance man who was very sweet but couldn't help us. After ages a member of staff helped us with our lodge. There's no reception at all, really confusing. The lodge was lovely (retreat) but freezing with a faulty boiler. The pitch was seriously muddy and the hot tub seems to be plonked on a bit of waste ground round the back. No nice view at all bit nice an private I suppose. There wasnt enough sofa space for 6 and the dining chairs were totally mis matched. There was also cigarette butts that had been disgarded all over the pitch.
Ranksborough Hall was in a lovely part of the country and I would recommend it for anyone who has transport, you need to be prepared to drive each day. It is very quiet and although there was evidence of development work going on we were not disturbed at all.
Could do with a clubhouse or shop on site. Nice quiet break though.
Couldn't have wanted a better weekend, very relaxed and quiet surroundings.
I found Ranksborough so nice that i have booked again for christmas
A great place for a gathering of friends or family. Couldn't fault it and will definitely be returning.
The actual lodge was terrific and just what was needed. Although the cot and high chair were not there which we had paid for and we had to go around asking about them. Also although mostly clean there were a number of noticable higher cobwebs. A light has now been fitted to shine on the outside hot tub when required, but getting to the hot tub you are walking on tiny stones and taking them into the tub. also to take of the cover you need to walk around a muddy bit on the other side, Needs sorting.
Lovely place, close to village and only a couple of miles from Oakham.
Holiday overall okay- stayed friday to monday however partly ruined on saturday monring due to a spider infestation. Spiders covered the ceiling of the lodge in the sitting area and bathroom and after getting fed up of trying to kill them all reported to reception. Subsequently after about an hour wait someone was sent over, then after another hour wait a vacuum was brought over to hoover them up. the lady did try to move us to other accomodation however there was non available. Following this we spent the majority of Saturday morning hoovering spiders off the ceiling. In the description this lodge is described as 'luxury' however I feel that this is misguided as you would not expect this from a luxury lodge.
Dreadful place to stay. Please do not book there are clearly disputes with residents who also live on the estate and we were made to feel very unwelcome.
Great area, fantastic local pubs offering lovely homemade food
The site is in a good position with lovely entrance. Better signs are needed to directed people to the reception on arrival.
The reception shut at 5pm, no one was there to greet us, the contact number we were provided on the booking form did not work and we had to wait for an hour in the car before a member of staff arrived.

Fishing at sunset (Picture BC photo)
The scenery steals the breath. Orcas frolic. Chinook salmon, the largest of BC's five salmon species, migrate through Port McNeill waters.
Trophy-size chinook, sockeye and pink salmon abound. Halibut and lingcod of Jurassic proportions are the treasures of the depths. Crabbing and prawning further diversify the burgeoning catch.
Yet what amazes many anglers most is the astonishing calm of Port McNeill's Broughton Archipelago, BC's largest marine park. Fisherfolk who prefer calm to the turbulence of open waters call Port McNeill their second home.
Size counts in these parts: the record chinook salmon caught locally weighed in at 39k/68lb. Halibut have come in as large as 119k/264lb and lingcod in the vicinity of 27k/72lb.
Read More
For newcomers to BC fishing, the gold standard for chinook salmon is the "tyee", in Aboriginal parlance, a salmon of 13.6kg/30lb or more. Catch a tyee and join the great BC fishing club.
Freshwater streams, often accessible by logging roads, are prime for trout and winter steelhead fishing. Steelhead, an orange-fleshed member of the trout family, is one of BC's most prized game fish, at the end of a hook or on a fork.
Fishing Charters
At Code 3 Fishing Charters, former firefighter Barry Foster takes anglers out 12 months a year, in sun, in rain, in fog, with salmon, halibut and natural grandeur in mind. The beauty of the Broughton Archipelago can be overwhelming. Bald eagles, Orcas, and humpback whales are frequent companions. And when a newbie lands a spring salmon, says Foster, it's just impossible not to smile.
Port McNeill's half a dozen charter fishing companies offer year-round freshwater and saltwater fishing trips. The enterprising Leisure Suit Charters reaches out to anglers who "spin, cast, drift, troll, spey or fly fish". A company specialty is winter run steelhead fishing from heated driftboat or walk-and-wade expeditions on rugged North Island rivers.
Fly Rod Outfitters extends the winter portfolio to steelhead, coastal cutthroat, char, and rainbow and brown trout.
West Coast Helicopters introduces another dimension with heli-fishing excursions to remote locations. Its fishing folio encompasses all fives kinds of salmon, steelhead, two species of trout and Arctic char, the latter a rare delight and super game fish. The worst day of heli-fishing will be the best day of an angler's life, the fly boys promise.
