Pen in hand, against the paper, An artist must be left to bleed, Inner thoughts become written words. No better way has been found To empty out a soul. With growing eagerness, I add fuel to the fire To induce passion's flame, Hoping the blaze never dies. Forever and a day, and longer, Inside my heart the fire burns. Revealing to another soul Every spark of my inspiration.
Double Acrostic I just want to mention before you read this poem that "Oasis" by Charmaine Chircop allowed me the inspiration to write this. Thoughts had been swirling through my mind for about 24 hours and I was having difficulty finding the form to express them. Those of you that know me know that I favor difficult forms rather than plain Freestyle. Thank you Charma, It is good to be back!! Eye Candy Erratic, heart thrusting through my chest! Yoga is in session, followers in succession! Edible delights without excess embellishment. Core poses carve, define rippled mid-sections Anxiety has subsided, muscles relaxed. Objective, Nurture those curves! Endure tension, calm her nerves. Durability, her gift is my defection. Connection, A fifteen Year friendship and we are both free agents!

Faith is a powerful thing, asking for absolute trust. It allows you to believe that you are not all alone, here in the shadow of death. In times of persecution, some souls have little else. And yet it's unshakeable. Praying perpetuates hope, opening your heart to God. When you first feel Him enter, everything in life changes. Routine tasks take new meaning, filling existence with purpose. Until then you felt empty, languishing in misery. The love between you and God, has only strengthened your faith. It's His love that sustains you, not the words of those that say God is nothing more than myth.

I'm not the greatest of all-times, but when I'm done, I'll be an all time great in this lifetime of mine Like the late great who came before my time I will breed a new lifeline, that will breathe life like march of dimes My story lines, will bring truth life; like troops who fight Overseas, for rights of those who believe that death is life Now that ain't right! As the rich is getting richer, eating fillet me-non, while we barely feeding our appetite Night after night Survival has waged a war that gave us no choice but to battle and fight Although, we'll be all right They say we a dying breed, but that ain't right Instead we're the light to a lying greed That will enlighten life to a brand new seed A man of God indeed Freed from the Son that bleeds Like the summer breeze He's the sum that equals the amount of air I breathe The air that please A satisfaction like the birds and the bees My word's words are the keys That will fornicate with the mind and give birth to a seed A seed of social change, that'll change our social economy So shall our comradery That will bring comfort to a struggling society A synonym...similar to a civilization seeking for unity Unifying the physics of theory That seeks to explain the synopsis of a dying philosophy Similar to the Cosby X-cept my scrip-tic will speak more about our reality Like life's calamity And everything else in life that's destroying us systematically However, I've discovered a system That can mathematically destroy ignorancy And turn our state of mind intellectually I elect that He (God) selects me to be And be that man who may lead this community So that they (My Peoples) may commute with me En-route to a destination, destine towards our destiny Like we were destine to be We were meant to be "Great" like the late great that came before we. Because we are... The reflection where perfection gave birth to the definition of greatness Where great means Competent, Skilled, Well Informed, and Tremendous Our potentials are endless And only we not even the enemy can put an end to this So it's time we put a stop to this The biggest enemy of self And that's envy and jelousness Cause after this is Heaven or Hell and that's all there is A promised made sealed with a kiss Knowing this Is the next best thing since "In the beginning" In the first chapter of the first verse in Genesis!

Life is you and me, sometimes we wish to be free, but If we stop to think a minute, this is life and were in it, so dont take advantage of what we got, this is life so give it a shot, so go out there and show who you are, and stop wishing on that shinning star, because you can make that wish come true, this is life and its for you.
Inside my heart I still ache. Nothing can soothe my wounded soul. Time they say will heal all wounds. Help is just one date away. Embrace the future, forget the past. My heart still beats, it needs true love. Old memories will fade into nothingness. Of course my life must go on. Dead souls are revived by new love. Forget the failures, leave them behind. Often love comes when it is least expected. Restless hearts can be soothed. Love can be found if you seek it hard. Of course you have to truly believe. Very soon two hearts will meet. Everyone is searching for love sweet love. Again into the fray I go with a hopeful heart. Gladly I go seeking the girl of my dreams. All good things come to true believers. I go forward with my eyes wide open. Now is indeed the time for enduring love.

I was born with this name A name that cannot be moved. Through my struggles and through my pain These shackles I shall remove. Dignified in all my ways Eminent proven that can't be replaced. I am a true man of virtue That cannot be measured by time or space. I'm a Star of my own Reflecting the rays of my thrown. Magnificent and Majestic In the land of milk and honey, I am the backbone. Often misunderstood, Confound and misconstrued. Even in contempt of their judgement My adulation infatuation will remain intact for my brood! My love is undenying Everlasting and undying. Unreplaceable, indestructible My fable inspires that transcends to be noble. The King of my castle A fraction define from a point of a decimal Denoting in the tenth power That represents the commandments of my counsel. In translation... I'm a man unrecognized by his emotions Yet his word's expression Forms a principle which defines in connotation. My concentration Concerns to adjourn any iniquitous Interpretation. Adjudicated as if uneducated Yet their mind's unable to define the intonation of my elucidation. So therefore there's no question! That I am...A son reflected by his own creation. In his own reflection My third eye indicates the gift of this phenomenal articulation. So as my motivation My delivery will continue to build in its meticulous manifestation. A man that will man up To whom, I will claim to recognize his own dejected aberration.
Living in harmony Living every day in peace Is the sweetest way to live Very precious is each day I have a need to always give Nourishment to everyone Giving is my way I live my life in harmony No anger in each day Happiness is what I feel As each day comes along Riding on the wings of joy My heart all filled with song Oh, such a wondrous life I lead No desires, from these I'm freed Young in heart, I am indeed. 7 July 2014 @ 0826hrs.

Pain is never embraced. Agony is a defeated place. Incorporated with grace, Nice to know you made second place. This competition did not bring humiliation. While your solitary stance brought forth happiness, you strive for more. It is not unusual to yearn for the original. To zenith as an author, is so magnificent. History is an hourglass to capture. Face up to your inadequacies in the bamboozling. Inform yourself of all strategy necessary to win. Run amok with your first place masterpiece. Educe a focus for others to perceive. _______________________/ PENNED ON JULY 03, 2014!
How can I live my life this way? When did things change, it was so different yesterday Where are my family and friends who were here everyday I remember my home with lots of things going on Now their not here everything is all gone But just when I think there is nothing for me I remember God gave me a gift of memory It's so nice to remember the things that I had And when I think about it it's really not that bad And when I keep myself busy there's no time to be sad So I thank you Lord for my gift of memory And always always being there for me

Yesterday Yesterday I stood there by the ocean All my tears did flow My feet so deep enmeshed in sand Troubles washed away by ocean waves Seemed the time now to let them go So today I feel a load has lifted Far from me it washed them Away, and I feel free. Now it's time to look on forward It seems my night has turned to day Looks like the sun is breaking Though some clouds still hide the way They're blue skies that soon will show as Here I stand and watch. prepared To face today and Stay any storms on my tomorrow. Oh, sad days of yesterday I look forward and not back Believe in new tomorrows and In new steps taken without slack Yesterday was yesterday acrostic poem using the words in the first verse of "Yesterday" by Lennon and McCartney

Inspirations drives this pen to write. Revealing my thoughts that have come to light. Responding to triggers that muses provide. Embracing words that want no longer to hide. Sensations are mine for the taking. I have been asleep, now my poetess is awaking. Satisfying my insanity, my pen is my sword. Treasuring the gift, you are my reward. Inviting you to dance with me to celebrate. Believing and achieving this enhanced state. Loving in a light that only poetry can share. Especially since I know you are already there.

It was your call If you did call I would have been home I would have not Those minutes, That time We would have talk We would have walk Now where I am Now I am lost Lost inside your heart Let this heat pass your heart Let it pass the heart You will shine bright You shall be my light Shine, shine brighter So that doubters will stop Never again will they be sceptic Never again will these feelings stop A feeling that makes flowers glow A feeling of happy future Shall I call you; Nor wait for you Wait for you to call Wait till I stop thinking The thoughts of you The truth about our dream
Holding on tightly- open to the dreams, pondering produces pain- enduring engages entitlement. Along the way- walls, novels not yet written- dying in the corner. Calligraphy conserving life- holding on dearly, a frame for future fragrance- neither scars nor wounds- grandeur grants greatness, especially once hope is found.
Alone.... Lonesome..... On my own...I'm walking on my own... Never talking Except solitude

It's pretty much a given that Everyone Loves Steve Nash. It's also a given that on any day of the week (Sundays included), being Steve Nash is better than being you (or me). This is all double-y and especially and very true right now with NBA Free Agency that has several teams firmly planting their lips on the behind of a certain Two-Time MVP.
Since the clock struck midnight on July 1 and teams could official begin negotiations with the second-most coveted point guard on the market and the one willing to entertain all suitors, the action has been hot and heavy. Deron Williams might have narrowed his choice to two teams but Nash is loving the attention right now.
Here's a recap of the love so far:
Toronto got the first crack at their favorite son and likely are willing to offer the biggest deal -- reportedly three-years, $36m.
As much as I'd love Nash to be back, three years is too much. But for the Raptors it makes sense because he'd sell enough tickets to make up for being 41 in the final year. They also have some interesting young talent and Nash could probably take Toronto to the playoffs in the East next season.
On a side note, if Nash does go to Toronto, the Suns could probably get veteran PG Jose Calderon back in a sign-and-trade. He's set to make about $10.5m next season before expiring like an overpaid pumpkin. Jose would allow rookie Kendall Marshall to spend a year as a back up before being thrown into the fire. Then again, if Nash is gone the Suns might as well throw Marshall in the fire and go full bore for the 2013 Lottery.
The Knicks also met with Nash and it looks like the Nets will as well. Nash reportedly would also listen to Mark Cuban if the Mavericks strike out on Deron Williams. So basically, Nash is Plan B for either Brooklyn or Dallas which doesn't suck too bad.
None of these means the Suns are out of the running. Nash, like Hill did a few times recently, had always planned to listen to offers and let himself be wooed. Who doesn't like a good wooeing?
My guess...Nash won't take the MLE from New York but could let himself be the consolation prices in Dallas or Brooklyn. But mostly, I see Toronto throwing silly money at him because they NEED him BADLY. If that happens, the Suns shouldn't and probably won't match. Bye, Steve.
What do you think?
For up to the minute updates on 2012 NBA Free Agency, follow this StorySteam at SB Nation.com
On the first day of free agency, rumors are sprouting like wildfires around the country and quite soon there will be a flood of actual signings. As with every year, the first few days of the wooing period are filled with crazy overpayments, fueled by surprising demands from agents who want to cash in on desperate GMs.
Agreed in principle (no signings till July 11): Nets sign Gerald Wallace 4/$40.
Offers reportedly out there (via reliable reporters on twitter) to restricted free agents: Rockets offered C Omer Asik $8 mil/yr, Wolves offered SF Nicolas Batum $10 mil/yr, Blazers offered C Roy Hibbert a MAX deal (4/$58).
"Opening salvo" demands from agents of players on Suns radar: Steve Nash wants $12+mil/yr, Goran Dragic wants $10+ mil/yr, Eric Gordon wants a MAX contract (4/$58)
The biggest fish the Suns contacted on Saturday night was SG Eric Gordon. They will meet with Gordon on Tuesday of his whirlwind tour, sandwiched in the middle of at least 5 teams wanting to offer him a MAX contract (4 yrs, $58 million). New Orleans is already floating that they would match any offer and, per Sam Amick of si.com including up to the max, to try to dissuade teams from getting excited about their client. So, this might be a lost cause but you never know if you don't try. The Suns said they would match any Joe Johnson offer back in the day too. Likely, the only way Gordon leaves is via a sign-and-trade, and the Suns don't have great assets to offer.
Players contacted so far by the Suns, according to the wonderful world of twitter:
PG: Nash ($12+ mil/yr), Dragic ($10+ mil/yr), Ray Felton
SG**: Gordon (MAX), O.J. Mayo (3-5 teams interested), Jamal Crawford (6+ teams interested)
SF: Michael Beasley (gulp)
PF: Jared Jeffries (3-5 teams interested), Jordan Hill (5+ teams interested)
C: Chris Kaman
**per Paul Coro via twitter, Suns have no interest in Ray Allen.
THAT's their first reported in-person visit??!?! Supercool Beas???
Check back all day for updates as news breaks.
No reported interest in PF Ersan Ilyasova at this point, or in SF Nicolas Batum. I would have thought the Suns would show interest in these two. Both are young (25 and 23, respectively) and just now growing into their games. Ilyasova is a tough rebounder and good shooter, while Batum can lock down all 3 perimeter positions and hit the 3-ball.
You might as well cross Goran Dragic off your radar. Dragic's agent is asking for $10 mil/yr for 4 years as guaranteed starter. No way the Suns block Kendall Marshall for 4 seasons. Better to re-sign Nash for $12+ mil/yr for 2-3 seasons.
As a stopgap 2012-2014 starter at PG, I'd much rather have Andre Miller than Ray Felton. Marshall most resembles Miller, except that Marshall is a better passer. He would do well to learn from Miller for a year or two.
The actual day that free agents can sign with another team is July 11. However, all 2011-12 contracts expire at 9PM AZ time tonight. Those players without 2012-13 contracts become free agents, to some degree, on July 1. At 9PM tonight, each free agent can be courted by any and every NBA team.
Unrestricted free agents (like Deron Williams and Steve Nash) can agree to contract terms whenever they want, though they can't actually sign on the dotted line until July 11. Most of the best unrestricted free agents will be committed to new teams by then.
Restricted free agents, though, cannot commit to anyone until they can sign an "offer sheet" and those cannot be offered until July 11. So those teams who want to make an offer to Eric Gordon or Nicolas Batum have to wait until July 11 to make their move. The Suns, for example, will likely wait until July 11 before making any free agent moves to fill their shooting guard position, since their top target appears to be Gordon.
Who will sign where? Will anyone agree to contract terms right after the bell rings?

Architect eyes tony Palestinian city with eco-mindset and fast Internet
Bashar Masri is spearheading the first planned Palestinian city, pending Israeli approval. His young team – who order pizza and work through lunch – envision a 21st-century city conscious of its ecological impact and equipped with a fiber-optic network.

Rawabi, West Bank
The state Palestinians dream of may not actually exist by next summer, as the Palestinian premier recently promised. But at the very least, a city upon a hill may have started to rise, with ground already being broken in the first planned Palestinian community – and the first new Palestinian city to be built in centuries.
Rawabi, which means "hills" in Arabic, is sited on the scenic green slopes north of Bir Zeit, a village north of Ramallah and home to prestigious Bir Zeit University. And its creators are hoping to tap that cachet to lure a high-end, well-educated populace, 70 percent of whom will be young college-educated families with 1.5 children.
"It is a change, culturally," says Bashar Masri, the driving force behind Rawabi and the managing director of the Bayti Real Estate and Investment Co., which is overseeing Rawabi's development. "Rawabi will be relatively cleaner and internally safer than what we see in most Palestinian cities, with cozy places to walk, pleasant cafes and restaurants, modern offices, and lots of green spaces in between."

You can get Skype from the Ubuntu Partner Repository you just need to turn it on 1st, see here for more details: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
The way to get direct USB access to files on the Galaxy is as posted here: http://www.tuxtrix.com/2011/07/how-to-access-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-usb.html
This is not about USB debugging but simple telling the Galaxy to connect its storage to PC via USB:
On the Galaxy do:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities -> Connect Storage to PC
try this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install click

Ubuntu Phone is not a specific phone, but an operating system to be run on phones. Right now, in development, the official reference models are Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. You'll be able to install Ubuntu Phone on either of those, but keep in mind it's not meant to be ready for the public yet – and it will require you to unlock the phone.
As of now, there ...
To record Skype calls, especially if you're using Ubuntu 12.04, I recommend Skype Call Recorder. (Currently the PPA that provides it easily on Ubuntu hasn't been updated to provide builds for Ubuntu releases past 12.04 LTS, but that's not a problem if you're using 12.04.)
To install Skype Call Recorder on Ubuntu, the easiest way is probably to use this PPA. ...

While USB Debugging option is disabled Samsung Galaxy SII is working as a MTP device and in this case Ubuntu can not see files on the phone. When I enable USB debugging option and connect my phone with USB cable Ubuntu recognise my phone as USB mass storage device and I can access my files.
I'm a Software Developer at Canonical, author of Ubuntu One Files.
We have this feature on our TODO list as it has also been requested by other users via support email. Thus, we plan to implement this in Ubuntu One Files, stay tuned.
You can manage which devices have access to your Ubuntu One account. Simply go into your account settings and delete the stolen phone.
I would advise you to download the firmware of Samsung Galaxy Europa Gingerbread from Sammobile , then install Heimdall to install the firmware onto your device. But make sure your phone is unlocked before doing so.
the best method i found was to use airdroid which works over your wifi and with your browser.
you just install the app and follow the simple instructions.
you can access all the great things on your phone :-)

I don't own any wp devices. So this answer goes in kind of assumption and internet research. Anyone wants to correct any information, please do so.

My first question is if ubuntu for android is really the full operating system that lets you run programs just like a desktop pc? Is it super slow where it takes many minutes to load up ubuntu? I don't need blazing speeds, but I'd like something useable.

It's not a "mobile version" of Ubuntu.

The answer is here:
This is a problem with the usb-modeswitch, if you disable it in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf => DisableSwitching=1 then it works.
Have you tried throught VirtualBOX (with USB support) on a legacy virtual Windows installation?
Other solution, is to use a BartPE or Hiren's Boot CD with a "live" Windows environment... This can work if no other solution helps you!
For Skype, you only need an audio device with a speaker and microphone. The "Skype Phone" devices marketed for plugging into your computer are just a USB soundcard in a phone-shaped package, so if you already have a working sound card that has a microphone input, use that with Skype instead.

Ubuntu for Phones ROM will be available in late February 2013.
The image will be made available for download in late February, and while the only phone we've seen running the OS is a Galaxy Nexus, Shuttleworth made it clear last week that it should be relatively easy to load up the OS on any Android device.

Ubuntu Touch, and desktop Unity starting in 14.04, will run on top of the new Mir display server. Part of the Mir offering will be XMir, an X server running as a Mir client. This will allow legacy/X11 apps to run on top of Mir without any effort.
However, even if this does allow them to run on Ubuntu Touch, most legacy/X11 applications are not designed ...
No. Ubuntu for phone uses some parts which are also used in Android/CyanogenMod. Ubuntu for Android is an Ubuntu on top of an existing and functioning Android.
This is not yet implemented. It it clearly planned that the phone connected to Keyboard Mouse and Monitor behaves like a PC.
This is also not yet implemented. But from what I can see right now there ...

An amazingly delicious and complex wine. Dark and rich, filled with blackcurrant, cocoa and new oak flavors and lush, sweet tannins. Finishes with a scour of fresh acidity. Made from some of Napas greatest vineyards, such as To-Kalon and Georges III, this is a wine with a great future. Now through 2012. (12/ 2004)
The 2001 Profile is an excellent wine, but recent vintages are even stronger. The fully mature 2001, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, exhibits a dense plum/garnet color as well as a sweet perfume of tobacco leaf, incense, roasted herbs, and red and black currants. Good opulence and a lush texture result in an attractive attack and mid-palate. Then the wine softens and seems fully mature. However, in a cold cellar it will last another 7-10 years. (6/ 2011)
Serves up lots of complex flavors, from its creamy oak and ripe berry flavors to hints of mint, cedar, sage and dill. It comes together nicely on the finish, too, with bright, vivid flavors. Drink now through 2011. (11/ 2004)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

Pros:The design is nice, the range is good, the mouse, keyboard and front facing buttons work good
Cons:One line of the buttons on the front doesn't work in windows. Also I had to remap the buttons for left click, rightclick and disable mouse in XBMC otherwise sometimes moving the remove would trigger the mouse and thus jingle a menu item in XBMC.
OtherThoughts:I remapped the mouse clicks in XBMC so that the central button and the left one were enter and the right one was back, made life better
Bottomline:It's ideal for a near perfect media center experience. Make the other buttons functional and it would be perfect

The Power Card Strategy
The Power Card Strategy is a visual aid that incorporates the child's special interest to teach appropriate social interactions, including routines, behavioral expectations and the hidden curriculum. It consists of two parts—a short scenario describing how the hero solves the problem and a small card with a picture of the hero to recap the strategy. Because children with AS often have well-defined special interests, the hero associated with their interest serves as a motivator. The strategy capitalizes on the relationship between child and hero. Following the initial reading of the scenario, the child is given the Power Card to keep with them. This card serves as a way to generalize the skill to new settings (Gagnon, 2001).
Following is an example of the use of the Power Card Strategy written for a fourth-grade girl with AS who was struggling to pay attention in class. The Power Card accompanying this scenario was a small picture of Hannah Montana with the three steps to success on the reverse side of the picture.
Hannah Montana loves being in concert and also loves being on the set of her TV show. She still, however, has to go to school. Sometimes it is hard for her to pay attention to her teachers when she is in class. As Miley Cyrus she is sometimes tempted to daydream about her other life as Hannah Montana. She has learned, however, that listening to her teachers and doing her school work is as important as singing, dancing and acting. She has learned that she needs to pay attention in class and do her work, so that she has time to do what she loves to do.
Just like Hannah Montana, it is important to pay attention in class. This would make Hannah Montana proud. Hannah would like all girls who love her to remember these three things.
- Listen to your teacher when she is talking. Be ready to answer any questions that she might ask.
- Do your school assignments and stay on task until the assignment is completed.
- Always ask for help when needed.
Remember to pay attention in class and do your school work and you will have lots of time to watch and listen to Hannah Montana when you are finished.
Social Scripts, Social StoriesTM and the Power Card strategy are easy-to-use visual supports that help children with AS understand their social world. Effective in home, school and community, these supports are substantiated by research.

TL;DR For the players who want something to chat about in game I keep playing with players who hardly say anything in game apart from "ss" and the occasional "noob" and it made me thinking, how much information do you actually get from ss compared to other messages? Examples of calling SS "SS" - someone lost sight of a laning opponent, this is actually quite useless most of the time without more information "SS mid" - someone lost sight of the mid opponent, slightly more helpful... "SS mid, low hp" - mid probably went back. Helps me make sure not to overextend in 30 seconds and keep an eye on mid "SS mid, care top/bot/jungle" followed by a ping - Aha they might be ganking. "SS top" - one of the most abused phrases in the entire game. If you have to write this more than 3 times, go back ASAP and ward the river. Calling misses will not be useful anymore unless you can spot them going for a gank. A lot of players say ss to justify their own responsibility, to come up with "at least it's not my fault" and the ability to blame their teammates, but that's about it. Sometimes I think that players actually want you to die so they don't give first blood. Not seldom have I been accused for not calling ss, despite clearly pinging a champion walking down the river or pinging someone to back. It's worth remembering that chatting about can harm your CS! Pings Someone pings Renekton walking towards mid - compare this to someone saying ss. With a ping you automatically react to check the minimap and immediately spot where they are. Someone pings where they just spotted the jungler (and says so) - now imagine if you're bot and just learned the jungler is somewhere top. Use this to your advantage! "Ward here!" - this helps the jungler so much. Take another route or note what time it will expire and plan for a monstrous gank on the person who is about to ward it. Be proactive Instead of saying ss and hugging your tower while your minions push, is there anything else you can do? Maybe the push was so big you can go back to buy something, or maybe it's a good opportunity to counter-gank or go with the jungler to take them out. React to whats happening in another lanes and in the river. React to dragon fights. No, you don't need to run off and auto-attack it once with your Ryze because it might actually help more to stay mid and keep their AP from going down. All of the above is near impossible without communication. Let your team know you are coming to gank, or that you are going back etc. Too much information Pointing out obvious mistakes / flaming - this should be obvious. It's really not necessary to re-iterate how stupid that initiation was, and definitely not in place to call for a report unless the game is over. Telling your team of every purchase and how much more gold you need for this and that. Writing ss every 5 seconds while tower hugging. After a couple of repeated lines your team will be less likely to notice what you are saying. Instead of this, try a simple "ss all the time, care! (and come gank god damnit)" Writing ss right after your laning opponent died. Surprising, isn't? Writing in /all chat. This is never useful and does never contribute to anything. Period. Creating confidence When playing with random people they are very likely to assume that you suck and they are best. Try to inject some respect in the team by saying small things like: "Come gank / good ganking opportunity / etc" - This is a lot more effective than crying for help or calling the jungler a noob. If you let them think there is a good opportunity to grab a kill, it's more appealing for them to come. If you are top or bot, investing in a pink ward could be well worth it! "Brb getting wards" or "Brb getting oracles" - After supporting hundreds of games I've noticed how much impact this has. Two things that win games are 1) map awareness and 2) not flaming. By telling your team you are helping them with map awareness, you reduce the likeliness of being flamed for not warding (even if you do). Win win! "Dragon/Baron spawning at XX:XX" - a most brilliant treat. Not only will your team have an advantage to the next river adventure but you will also ensure your team that at least somebody keeps track of things. Even announcing that blue buff is about to respawn is great. "I can take blue buff myself, please don't help me" - one of my pet peevees in this game is junglers who insist on helping with giving me blue buff when I'm AP mid. Not only is there an annoying risk of them stealing it by mistake (too often) but it also kills their valuable time. Yes, many carries need help with their first and maybe second blue, but not all do. If I'm a level 6 Karthus or Sion when blue spawns, just leave me alone with my shiny buff and be useful somewhere! "Sorry, my mistake". Congrats, if you use this phrase after dying you might just have won the game. What else? What are your special communication tricks that improves the chance of winning a game?
Using ventrilo can make things a lot easier.
The Safari King
Projecting a confident image helps, everyone likes to win, let them know your likely to win.
Good Job = To whomever pulls off a kill or saves a teammate. You have no idea how reinvigorating it can be if the team congratulates eachother on a good gank/kill or push. Also, I usually use the retreat function whenever I am going back to base or in suspicion of a potential gank from the river.
uberbacon, excellent post! It may seem stupid or underrated (and mostly neglected) but I do believe those tips, at the end of the day DO make a difference. GJ. Edit: was thinking of some other communication tips. To be honest, you pretty much wrapped it all up. But I sometimes use another one (even though you really have to be in the mood for it and your teammates mustn't be jerks) when one of your teammates fails somehow and seems to fall behind, you just push him up, saying things like "np, it's ok" or "do like this or do like that and you'll be fine!". It's very situational, can't remember anything specific now, but I've had some very good results with this one also. You will raise his morale and even if he doesn't perform as well as the rest of the team his "ratios" will climb for certain and he/she will be so much helpful both for him and the team. It gave me victories as well.
Thanks guys. Completely agree with the points above, raising the morale by commenting on both their mistakes and their glory. "No worries, I'll come help you!" and "Great job, are you OK on your own now top?" has another side effect too.. it actually affects the others! Interestingly, there are only four kinds of people when it comes to commenting an event: - The pessimist - The optimist - The silent/neutral - The opportunist Take a look at the last one, my guess is around 10% of all players fall into that category. He or she will pretty much mimic others' feelings, if somebody says the game is over they'll agree. If somebody says GP should be reported, they'll join in with the flaming. But on the other hand, if someone is in a winning mood this group will be easily affected by it! Yesterday I hit 1500 Elo for the first time - mostly thanks to improving communication in game. And champ select of course

I don't think there's anything wrong with using /all just... to have some fun. I hate it when people flame their teammates or opponents in allchat, but "**** Ashe, nice shot oO" if you got caught and died by a brilliant Ashe arrow or "and stay out!" after chasing someone out of your jungle is just having a friendly chat with your opponents. As long as you don't spam, I don't really see the problem! In general, never flame lanes that are doing poorly. Try to suggest what they could be doing better in a friendly way and try to help them by ganking et cetera. There is exactly zero utility in telling people they suck. If you do this, you care more about having a chance to whine at people than about trying to win your game. Edit: Also, asking questions can be super useful. ("How are you doign at top? Need help?")

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Bibliophobia is the fear or hatred of books. This phobia is usually confined to certain book themes, like about witchcraft. People with learning disabilities like dyslexia commonly suffer from this phobia. Unlike most phobias, bibliophobia is not an irrational fear. In some cases, this phobia is not directly connected to the fear of reading aloud in school or work.[1]
Like most phobias, bibliophobia is triggered by a past negative experience, like from early childhood. Some people with learning disabilities can have hard time reading books, ever aloud or silently, triggering fear of reading.[2]
An example of the other cause of this phobia is reading about evil or frightening stuff, such as witchcraft.
People who is bibliophobic would often be very difficult or unable to read books. When forced to read may make sufferers cry or even panic. Symptoms of bibliophobia include confusion, sweating, shaking, rapid breathing, rapid heartrate, and unable to think straight.[2]
A traditional method of treatment by mental health professionals is identifying the causes of the phobia, and then patient and doctor will work together to cope with fear by first reading in the office, and then alone at home.
For those who suffer panic, bibliophobia can be treated using panic away method, which is used to calm the unconscious mind.[3]
Desensitization therapy is another effective treatment method of bibliophobia. This involves gradually gluing them to books, helping to overcome fear by increasing confidence about books.[2]

BMW's Quality Crisis
I've been worrying about BMW reliability lately. And not about either my M3 or my 530. It's how BMW's quality and reliability have worsened in recent years.
A little background — I don't buy new BMWs, I like to buy lightly used ones that have been well maintained by their owners. So no one in Munich (or New Jersey, BMW's NA HQ) cares what I think. Plus, I know and accept the fact that German cars require more preventative maintenance than American or Japanese cars. The payoff is (or at least was) a more engaging, enjoyable driving experience.
But reliability is getting worse, and the word is getting out. The complexity of new BMWs is through the roof, and they are having loads of computer and electronic problems. Consumer Reports ranks the 135i and 335i models as below average for reliability, and Kelley Blue Book ranks the overall value of the current 3 series as "poor" in its Cost to Own index.
Part of the problem is the total lack of maintenance most of the cars receive. Back when owners paid for maintenance, BMW had a long list of items that needed regular attention. You can get that list via an email request to Mike Miller, Tech Q&A columnist for Bimmer Magazine. His email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now that BMW pays for new car maintenance, suddenly cars need nothing but oil changes every 15,000 miles! The rank hypocrisy is galling to me. BMW is selling cars today that are disposable after 100,000 miles.
That may be OK for some buyers, who never plan to have the car that long. It's disastrous for enthusiasts like me, who typically want to own and drive cars well past the end of the extended warranty period — in BMW's case that's 6 years or 100K miles, whichever comes first.
BMW might respond hey, our sales are up so we're giving customers what they want. And you Americans should be thankful our cars don't cost even more. We have to sell BMWs for less in North America due to the large number of competitors, and we get killed on the exchange rate due to the weakened dollar.
But let's look closer at those sales numbers. Keep in mind 2009 was a historically bad year for auto sales. According to BMWBlog.com, BMW sales in North America were up 12% in July year to year. However, Audi sales were up 17%, Acura sales 44% and Porsche 68% (admittedly from a much smaller base). The competition has upped their game — what does BMW represent today besides brand cachet and high cost?
Speaking of Mike Miller, he hit it on the head in the latest issue of Bimmer Magazine. There's no link available, so I include the response below. Mike is responding to a reader writing in concerned about buying a used E90 M3 (the current body style). Even with not including the full reply it's long – but a good read.
Your letter prompts me to clarify two points: First, few readers write in to Tech Q&A to tell me their BMW isn't broken; the nature of the column largely deals with broken cars. However, my readership here and in Roundel (the BMW CCA magazine) is large enough, I think, to paint an overall picture of the reliability of a given BMW model over the years.
Second, no one loves BMW and its cars more than I do. I've been bleeding BMW blue and white for most of my life. This means I remember the days when BMWs were as reliable as Old Faithful. I've been thrust into the unwilling gadfly role by the very company I love.
In my opinion, BMW needs a level of reliability commensurate with its premium position in the over-crowded, over-competitive, globalized vehicle market. They don't have it right now, and if they don't get it we could all be in trouble. Look how fast Toyota fell from grace after taking its eye off the ball. Regardless of owner stupidity – shut the engine off if the gas pedal gets stuck, you morons! – the possible complicity of the U.S. government and the fact that Toyota still builds excellent vehicles, perception is everything in the marketplace.
Right now, the perception of BMW is, "Never own one without a warranty," and that's unfortunate.
UPDATE, 12:45 EST – This is cool. Mike Miller saw the post, and likes it. But he emailed me and asked that I add some clarifications from him, shown below:

Crazy Over Goo
Crazy Over Goo is a physics-based projectile platformer that puts you in the gooey guise of a spheroid on a quest to find his pink-bowed friend. Use the mouse to aim your trajectory and try to reach each level's flag in as few jumps as possible. Contend with mid-air leaps, variable environments, gravity, spikes, and many other platform game elements.
Read More3 Comments
Fun concept, but it's got some poor execution. first and foremost is using mouse for game controls, but requiring me to go back to the keyboard for the reset button. Several of the gold medals require pixel-perfect jumps and take way too many attempts, even after you've "solved" it in your head.
I really want to play this game, but the slight delays that come up when the ball is swinging make it more frustrating than fun. In addition, when the screen moves as the ball swings, my eyes and cursor don't know what to focus on. I'd like to enjoy this game, but it's making it hard.

Hay guys!
Here's the shooter I've been working on for a while, hope ya enjoy it.
Mouse/Arrow Keys: Movement
Z/Click: Main Weapon: Fast but weak.
X/Double-Click: Sub Weapon: Powerful but charges slowly.
C/Space: Bomb: Clears the screen.
Shift: Focus: Slows down your movement and shows hitbox.
P/Esc: Pause
If the game runs slowly, turn off the graphics stuff in the options.
Also, if you experience any problems with the keys sticking, just use mouse controls instead.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I would call this, without much hesitation, perhaps the Best among your Productions, and also those of your Composer. The Soundtrack is rather small, but most every Track on it is an Earworm. There is no Story involved, but I do not mind, because the Gameplay is entirely enjoyable. The later Stages may, for their Challenges, prove a little frustrating, but I do not think that I have yet 'Rage quit' this one. I also like being able to unlock different Characters, though I stick largely to Matt before Lance is unlocked, at which Time I tend to switch to him. If I have any Criticisms, it is that none of No-Legs, Natalie, or Anna really feel as though they have Benefit enough to be worth playing, but I suppose they may suit others better than they do me.
Having played some others among your Games, I find it rather remarkable how very cleanly they tend to play. I have never encountered a technical problem with one which was not more than likely owing to the Age and relative Weakness of this old Laptop. I suppose that makes me think you may well have a bright Future in this if you keep at it.

Re: 1992
Well, we all know how this turned out...
The Miami Herald
Thursday, January 23, 1992
If only Mary Pierce had spoken into a tape recorder.
As Nick Bollettieri approached her on an indoor court at his Bradenton, Fla., tennis academy, signaling the end of one practice drill and the start of another, Pierce let out a playful laugh and said quietly, "This is fun."
If only that comment could have been captured and replayed for all the self-designated psychologists who have analyzed Pierce, 17, the No. 26 player in the world, and concluded that she cannot be enjoying herself. They say she is a slave to her rigorous schedule and her driven father. They say she is a talented but force-fed tennis player ready to splinter beneath the pressure. Too much, too young, read the headline of an article on Pierce in the May 1990, Sports Illustrated.
That assessment ignores one fairly significant detail: Mary Pierce.
Perhaps, in truth, everything's not right. But it's far from all wrong.
For all the trauma Mary supposedly has gone through, she seems to be growing up just fine.
Last year, her best on the tour since she turned pro at 14, Mary jumped from 106 to 26 in the Virginia Slims rankings and won one singles tournament, beating Sandra Cecchini in the final at Palermo.
Mary is articulate and intelligent -- she gets A's in her high school correspondence courses -- and she's friendly, conversational and extremely modest. Bollettieri loves her, feeding her encouragement like tennis balls during practice. "Right there!" (Wham.) "Beautiful!" (Wallop.) "That's perfect, Mary!"
But Pierce, who skipped the Australian Open because of a lingering knee strain, is the focus of a controversial seven-year-old family project to build a tennis star. Her schedule, set by her father, gets her on the court four or five hours a day and requires an hour or two more of running and weightlifting. Her free time is restricted; she must be in bed by 10 every night and she's not allowed to have a boyfriend.
Yannick Pierce, Mary's mother, said coordinating Mary's tournament schedule and the family's travel is a full-time job. David, Mary's 15-year-old brother and an aspiring tennis player
himself, adjusts his plans to fit his sister's. Her earnings -- $90,000 in 1991 -- are the family's only income.
"It's a family affair," said Yannick Pierce, who has a Ph.D. in linguistics. "She's like the president of a company and we all work for her."
The most scrutinized element of the family business is Jim Pierce, Mary's father. Though Mary picked up a racket on her own at age 10 when the family lived in Clearwater, it was her father, a former jeweler and Marine, who put her on an eight-hour-a-day practice regimen a year later after Mary won her first junior national tournament.
Though Mary has spent the past three months in Bradenton working closely with Bollettieri, there is no question who is boss.
"I ask Jim's opinion on everything," Bollettieri said. "I'm not taking his daughter away -- it's all three of us working together."
They are working to get Mary to the top of the rankings where they believe she belongs. The Pierces leave Friday for Germany where Mary will compete in her first tournament in 1992, the $350,000 Nokia Grand Prix in Essen.
"Mary hits the ball as hard as any girl in the world from both sides," said Bollettieri, whose most famous former pupil is Andre Agassi. "She's big (5-11); she's fast; she's an athlete. In 12 to 18 months you could have a top five player in the world."
One day, when Jim Pierce saw Mary walking off the court, seemingly finished with practice for the morning, he looked at his watch and said: "Look at that. An hour and fifteen minutes and she thinks she's finished. She's not finished."
She wasn't. Jim Pierce had his daughter return balls for another 20 minutes. Mary offered not a word of protest.
This is the point in the story where the skeptics begin to shake their heads. Too much pushing, too much work, too little childhood, they say. Not true, Mary insists. Even when Jim Pierce's criticisms and manner sting, she said she realizes that, deep down, he has her best interest in mind.
"If I didn't like it, with all I've gone through," she said, "I wouldn't be playing now. Every coach in tennis will get mad. My dad does get very mad sometimes, but he loves me and he's doing what he thinks is best for me."
Jim Pierce, who dropped out of school after the eighth grade, said he is just trying to give his children the guidance he never had.
"I committed myself one million percent to my daughter and my son and my family. People just can't stand to see that kind of family unity. America doesn't have that any more." Mary disdains criticism but she genuinely loves the game. A very large smile spreads over her face when she talks about her dream: winning the French Open in her mother's home country. Though she and her family have lived in various parts of Florida for most of Mary's life, Mary said her strongest allegiance is to France, the country that has supported her most and for which she will play in the Olympics.
Sure, the practices are long -- maybe too long -- but Mary said she doesn't mind. She didn't want to miss a workout last week because of a cold, but her father insisted that she take the day off to rest. Like Jim Pierce, Mary is a perfectionist.
"I don't like to miss one shot," she said. "I figure if I can make one, I can make them all."

Scientists to use scent to control destructive rodent behaviour
8 November 2011
Research on the scent signals of mice and rats, by a team at the University of Liverpool and Rothamsted Research, will help inform future rodent-control strategies aimed at reducing the damage they cause to food resources around the world.
The £4.7M research programme has received funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in the form of a strategic Longer and Larger award (sLoLa). These provide internationally-leading research teams with the resources to conduct multidisciplinary research to address major global challenges.
Rodents are a serious threat to global food security. Research suggests that even a 5% reduction in the damage that rodents cause to cereal harvests could help feed one third of all undernourished people worldwide. Rodents also spread many livestock and human diseases.
The team is investigating the scent signal mechanisms that rodents use to navigate around their habitat, communicate with each other, and reproduce. Scientists aim to use these signals to monitor and manipulate rodent behaviour to contribute to new approaches for better control of the destructive nature of rats and mice.
Current rodent control strategies are based on poisons delivered in food or water baits, but there is increasing concern that these chemicals persist in the environment and have negative impacts on non-target species. This new study will reduce the problems with current strategies by providing more efficient ways of targeting rodents, whilst improving the humaneness of control methods.
Professor Jane Hurst, from the University's Institute of Integrative Biology, said: "Rodents cause problems in countries all over the world due to the food they destroy, the disease they spread to livestock and humans, and the damage they cause to the built and rural environment. Rats and mice reproduce very rapidly and prove difficult to track, particularly as they learn quickly how to evade current control strategies.
"Our research on rodent behaviour and communication has helped us to understand the complexity of mammalian scents and their meaning, and the role of learning in modifying behavioural responses."
Several types of scent signals will be key to this work, including those involved in sexual attraction and predator avoidance.
"We will be working closely with a wide range of stakeholders from pest control, environmental health, animal welfare and food industries to ensure that we maintain a practical focus and establish clear pathways for subsequent deployment of new strategies."
Professor John Pickett, from Rothamsted Research, said: "This is an exciting development, bringing together the pioneering rodent behaviour and molecular science at Liverpool with the chemical ecology at Rothamsted that has had such a strong impact on arthropod pest control. Our programme will develop completely new ways to manage rodent problems."
The work led by Professor Jane Hurst, Professor Rob Beynon and Professor Lu-Yun Lian at the University of Liverpool, and Professor John Pickett and Dr Mike Birkett at Rothamsted Research.

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the
love and thanks of man and woman."
-- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)
And when the police come, young lady, what do you suppose they will do? Speak calmly to the man to quiet him down? What happens if a man decides to go on a rampage in a mall? We just let him shoot people until he runs out of ammo, because no one is justified in taking his life??? Sonufabunch, this is the dumbest crap I have ever heard.No one has a right to take a life, regardless of what happens, said Beth Starbird, 24, of Boscawen. He shouldve tried to stop it or called for help.
Ms. Starbird is giving us a perfect example of 'diarrhea of the mouth': anything that bubbles to the top of her silly mind instantly flows out, without any kind of thought or logic.
Oh, and how else do you 'stop it'??? I'm gonna blow a gasket.
It's always interesting how dead BG's are suddenly changed into saints.
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
Ya know... It amazes me how some people could be so aloof, so misguided, so utterly out of touch with the reality of the way true crime affects all of society such as the views held by Ms. Beth Starbird and Mr. Kevin Miller, absolutely boggles the mind.
It really makes me wonder how people that out of touch with reality are not intitutionalized and are actually out walking among us.
What is even more scary is they can vote! They can vote for president, they can vote on gun issues, and they can vote for which politicians will represent all of us. And they vote for those people and issues who and which share their feelings on what is right.
I just pray that people like that are in the minority, and forget to vote!
Scary, scary stuff!

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
