Make Hide~n~Seek a featured game mode. Do it. For science.
Senior Member
a free for all sounds awesome
My friends and I were discussing a goofy new gamemode. Inroducing: Superchilled mode The concept behind this idea is very simple: the cooldowns of all spells are reduced to 0. Imba to the max, but that's what will make it so fun! Just troll around and see how OP you favorite champions are! (No mana or unique resources, and no summoner spells. Does not extend to item actives.)

The Bronze Dream Summoners Rift 5v5 Every item you get is random. When the match starts everybody is given one full built random item, every 5 minutes after each player is given another full built random item. By minute 25 everybody should have a full build of random items. A player may delete an item in hopes to get a better suited item in the next 5 minutes when items are given out or earned item. Additional random items can be earned by: every 75 CS 3 player kills 3 player assists 5 objectives taken (dragons/towers)

Before you read, I would like to state this is not my original idea. Ill post the reddit link on the bottom. AI Challenges You! How to Start a custom game, fill all the slots with bots and choose your difficult enhancers listed below. You can choose as many as you want. Suit yourself. Comment your results. I separated them into tiers of difficulty, but you can choose from different tiers and mix them. For instance you could pick Survivor/Harcore/Doran's Start. Enhancers marked with an * are penalties, they remove points from your score. Creep and kill score should be considered after the game is finished, you don't actually need to have 36 cs at exactly 3 minutes of the game to complete CS God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Difficult Enhancers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- God Tier - 100 points each No shopping: can't use shop. (300 points - not feeling like creating a new tier just for this one) Doran's start: buy a Doran item at start, finish the game using only it. Not valid if No shopping. Survivor: no recalling, can't heal at fountain. Buy items outside of fountain range. Valid only on Hardcore. Tower Defense: can't lose any turret. One man stand: go 1v5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 - 50 points each Hardcore: dying is defeat. No siege: can't attack structures. May only push waves and let minions kill turrets/inhibitors/nexus. CS God: must have at least 12*(minutes of game). 10 minutes = 120 cs. CS score don't stack. Legendary: must have at least 1.5 kill per minute of game (rounded up). 11 minutes = 17 kills. Kill score don't stack. Shoplifter (*): have more than 2 items at the same time.(-50 for each extra item). 4 items = -100 points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 2 - 25 points each No summoner spells: can't use them. Remove keybind if necessary. No masteries: go 0/0/0. No runes: go without a rune page. Godlike: must have at least 1 kill per minute of game. 11 minutes = 11 kills. CS Master: must have at least 10*(minutes of game). 10 minutes = 100 cs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 3 - 10 points each No pots: flask and pots prohibited. Only valid on survivor. Not valid on No Shoping. Homeguard: can't lose any inhibitor. No jungle: can't kill jungle camps No buffs: can't use any buffs (red or blue) CS Pro: must have at least 8*(minutes of game). 10 minutes = 80 cs. Killing Spree: must have at least 0.75 kill per minute of game (rounded up). 11 minutes = 9 kills. Infernal Team Comps: go against Shen/Annie, Warwick, Cho'Gath, Fiddlesticks and Malzahar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There can be a leader boards system where you can see how much everyone's (and your friends's) scores. Obviously it would be nice to add other point systems more complex so that there aren't many people tied for first place. I think this could be a very fun mode, especially trying to beat your friend's highscore. This will also help players to learn when to engage and when not to. Reddit Link: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflege...w_leaderboard/
Hyper Speed Mode I was watching some of my replays earlier and I noticed something while running at 4 times speed. The game looks like so much fun when sped up. I think quite an easy game mode to produce would be a 1.5x or 2.0x speed Summoner's Rift match. Just imagine the chaos. The constant skittles. The lightning bolt rammus. The nid spear machine guns. It would also be great for shorter games when we're all in a hurry. Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflege...e_hyper_speed/
This one is obvious, WTF Mode. 0 Cooldown, 0 Mana cost. Pretty simple, everything else remains the same. Items still cost money, minions still spawn, all that.

Every year when Monaco GP comes people expect or hope for some surprise result. The track where overtaking is next to impossible (well Barrichello may not agree after his last lap in 2005), where there are no run off areas and the walls are unforgiving is the prime candidate for a messy result of the year. But how likely the surprise results in Monaco actually are ? This is what Fernando Alonso had to say a week ago:
"That's what we always think when going to Monaco or at least we all think Monaco is so different that things will change, but in the end it's always a McLaren or a Ferrari winning or Renault like in 2006. The cars that have been winning all season arrive at Monaco and win too so in the end we see less surprises than we initially expect."
When was the last time we had a surprise winner in Monaco ? So let's look back few years to see who were the winners:
2006 – Fernando Alonso – Renault
2005 – Kimi Raikkonen – McLaren-Mercedes
2004 – Jarno Trulli – Renault
2003 – Juan Pablo Montoya – Williams-BMW
2002 – David Coulthard – McLaren-Mercedes
2001 – Michael Schumacher – Ferrari
2000 – David Coulthard – McLaren-Mercedes
1999 – Michael Schumacher – Ferrari
1998 – Mika Hakkinen – McLaren-Mercedes
1997 – Michael Schumacher – Ferrari
To certain extent perhaps in 2004. Ferraris have dominated the season but Jarno Trulli in Renault won in Monaco (ahead of Jenson Button). Surprise perhaps but not a shocker. Have to remember that Renault and BAR were up ther in top 3 with Ferrari that year. I think we need to go a further year back, to 1996, for the last shocker – the wet race and win by Olivier Panis in Ligier.
We have been waiting for another shocking result for quite a while. This will be the first proper street race without traction control after many years. There are chances of rain for qualifying and for the race. So is Monaco ripe for a surprise result ?

Summary and Conclusions
The compound of arsenic produced in largest quantity is arsenic
trioxide. It is a by-product of the copper-smelting industry. Arsenic
exhibits oxidation states of III and V and forms a great variety of
inorganic and organic compounds. In addition to arsenic trioxide, some
widely encountered inorganic compounds are arsenic pentoxide, arse-
nous acid, arsenic acid, tetraarsenic tetrasulfide (realgar), arsenic
trisulf~de (orpiment), and arsenic pentasulfide. Some of the more
common organic compounds are methanearsonic acid, cacodylic acid,
methyldihydroxyarsine, dimethylhydroxyarsine, trimethylarsine, and
trimethylarsine oxide. Some aromatic arsenic derivatives with veteri-
nary and medicinal uses are arsanilic acid, 3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenyl-
arsonic acid, 4-nitrophenylarsonic acid, and 3-nitro-4-ureidophenyl
. � .
arsenic ac~a.
Cationic species of As(III) are probably not present in aqueous
solution. Arsenous acid likely exists as As(OH)3. The fact that the
hydroxides of iron(II), iron(III), chromium(III), and aluminum strongly
adsorb or form insoluble precipitates with arsenites and arsenates is
important in the control of arsenic pollution. The ability of various
molds and bacteria to convert arsenic compounds to various methyl

Summary and Conclusions
ated arsines is well known. Because the methylated arsines are spar-
ingly soluble in water, volatile, and sensitive to air, they are returned to
the environment as methanearsonates, cacodylates, and trimethylar-
sine oxide. Arsenic-sulfur bonds are less subject to hydrolysis than
arsenic-oxygen bonds, and the formation of arsenic-sulfur bonds with
sulfur-containing biologic molecules is considered to be of great impor
Arsenic is ubiquitous in the environment and is found in all living
organisms. Natural sources include a variety of sulfur-containing min-
erals, of which arsenopyrite is the most common. The amounts of
arsenic in soil and water depend largely on the geologic inputs from
mineral weathering processes, whereas the amounts in indigenous
plants and animals reflect species differences. Some species of marine
plants, such as algae and seaweed, and marine organisms, such as
crustaceans and some fish, often contain naturally high concentrations
of arsenic.
Man-made sources of arsenic are generally by-products of the smelt-
ing of nonferrous metal ores, primarily copper and to a lesser degree
lead, zinc, and gold. In the United States, the sole producer and refiner
of arsenic trioxide is the copper smelter of the American Smelting and
Refining Company in Tacoma, Washington. Major imports of arsenic
come from Sweden, the world's leading producer.
The largest use of arsenic is in the production of agricultural pes-
ticides, in the categories of herbicides, insecticides, desiccants, wood
preservatives, and feed additives. Arsenic trioxide was the raw mate-
rial for the older inorganic pesticides, including lead arsenate, calcium
arsenate, and sodium arsenite. The newer major organic arsenical
pesticides include three herbicides, monosodium and disodium
methanearsonate and cacodylic acid, and four feed additives that are
substituted phenylarsonic acids. Arsenic has several minor uses
primarily as an additive in metallurgic applications, in glass production,
as a catalyst in several manufacturing processes, and in medicine.
Arsenical drugs are still used in treating tropical diseases, such as
African sleeping sickness and amebic dysentery, and are used in
veterinary medicine to treat parasitic diseases, such as heartworm
(filariasis) in dogs and blackhead in turkeys and chickens.
The major arsenic residues resulting from use of agricultural pes-
ticides and fertilizers are found in soils and to a lesser degree in plants
OCR for page 216
and animals living on contaminated soils. The highest pesticide resi-
dues occur primarily in orchard soils that received large applications of
lead arsenate. Large accumulations of arsenic also occur in soils
around smelters. Two important closely related effects measurable in
plants are arsenic residues and phytotoxicity. Some soils that received
massive applications of arsenate are currently incapable of supporting
plant growth.
Arsenic in air has three major sources: smelting of metals, burning of
coal, and use of arsenical pesticides. Two known acute incidents of
arsenic pollution from smelters have occurred in the United States.
The most serious air-pollution problem, however, is associated with
manufacturing processes and occupational hazards to workers. Some
arsenic in water results from industrial discharges. Several endemic
poisonings of water supplies have been reported.
Safe disposal of arsenic wastes still constitutes a major administra-
tive and technologic problem. The major sources of arsenical wastes
are residues in empty pesticide containers; surplus pesticides stored by
government agencies, manufacturers, state and municipal facilities,
and users; and soil contaminated by extensive use of arsenical pes-
ticides. Recommended procedures for management of arsenical wastes
are recycling and reuse (preferred), long-term storage, recovery of
other metals and long-term storage of arsenic trioxide, and disposal in
landfill sites.
Several arsenic cycles have been proposed to interrelate the source,
emission, movement, distribution, and sinks of various forms in the
environment. Arsenic is continuously cycling in the environment,
owing to oxidation, reduction, and methylation reactions. Man's ac-
tivities can alter the distribution of arsenic in finite geographic areas or
in selected components of the environment, but man has little control
over the natural processes.
Arsenic compounds must be in a mobile form in the soil solution in
order to be absorbed by plants. Except for locations around smelters or
where the natural arsenic content is high, the arsenic taken up is
distributed throughout the plant body in less than toxic amounts.
In nature, arsenic absorption by plants from the air is negligible.
Although smelter fumes and dusts may deposit on plant leaves, there is
no evidence that arsenic from this source is taken into plants.
Translocation of arsenicals in plants is demonstrated by the fact that
OCR for page 216
Summary and Conclusions
arsenical solutions applied to foliage of some weeds results in the
killing of root tissue. Metabolic experiments with radiolabeled organic
arsenic compounds have indicated that these compounds or metabo-
lites thereof form complexes with some plant constituents.
Bacteria and fungi can metabolize inorganic arsenic salts to form
methylated derivatives. Algae can biosynthesize complex organic ar-
senicals that are associated with the lipid fraction of these microor-
ganisms. Mollusks and crustaceans can contain rather high concentra-
tions of arsenic, but there appears to be no relationship between their
arsenic content and the collection date or geographic location; this
suggests that industrial pollution is not a factor. Fish also can contain
arsenic, which apparently is derived from their diet. The arsenic that
occurs naturally in seafood is metabolized quite differently from inor-
ganic arsenic. The form of arsenic in shrimp, for example, is not
retained by the human body and is rapidly excreted.
The rat has a unique arsenic metabolism that renders it unsuitable for
metabolic studies with arsenic compounds. This rodent stores arsenic
in the hemoglobin of its red cells, which release the arsenic only when
they break down. The resulting very slow excretion led to the belief
that arsenic is a cumulative poison. Trivalent sodium arsenite seems to
be almost entirely oxidized to pentavalent sodium arsenate in vivo.
Evidence of the opposite process i.e., the in vivo reduction of arse-
nate to arsenite is much less clear.
Arsenic in normal urine of man, dog, and cow is principally in the
methylated form. When the dog and cow are fed large doses of trivalent
or pentavalent inorganic arsenic, about half the arsenic appears in the
urine as methylated derivatives. This methylation process is true
detoxification, inasmuch as methanearsonates and cacodylates are
only one two-hundredth as toxic as sodium arsenite.
A number of different factors can influence the toxicity of arsenicals,
including chemical form, physical form, mode of administration,
species, and criterion of toxicity. Several reports have suggested that
arsenic can exert biologic effects at concentrations below those gen-
erally considered "safe," but the physiologic significance of such
findings is not known.
The trivalent forms of arsenic apparently exert their toxic effect
chiefly by reacting with the sulfhydryl groups of vital cellular enzymes.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase seems to be a particularly vulnerable site in
OCR for page 216
metabolism, because it contains the dithiol lipoic acid that is especially
reactive with trivalent arsenicals. The biochemical basis of the toxic
action of pentavalent arsenic compounds is known with less certainty,
but such arsenicals may well compete with phosphate in phosphoryla-
tion reactions to form unstable arsenyl esters that spontaneously
hydrolyze and thereby short-circuit energy-yielding bioenergetic pro-
The use of phenylarsonic animal feed additives as recommended is
beneficial and does not constitute a human or animal health hazard.
Animal losses and excessive arsenical residues in poultry and pork
tissues occur only when the arsenicals are fed at excessive dosages for
long periods. The mechanism of action of phenylarsonic animal feed
additives remains obscure, and these compounds are for the most part
absorbed and excreted without metabolic change.
Toxicoses caused by the phenylarsonates are manifested by an
entirely different syndrome from those caused by the inorganic and
aliphatic organic arsenicals. The latter produce the typical signs and
lesions usually associated with arsenic poisoning, whereas the former
are less toxic and produce demyelination and gliosis of peripheral and
cranial nerves.
Poisoning of forage-eating livestock by inorganic and aliphatic or-
ganic arsenical compounds, especially those used as herbicides and
defoliants, has been reported. Most cases result from accidental or
careless contamination of forage that becomes accessible to livestock.
The large-scale use of arsenicals in the United States has caused
some scientists to suspect that the use of these compounds may have a
deleterious effect on wildlife. However, there is little evidence to
confirm such suspicions in the scientific literature. Wildlife kills that
have been attributed to arsenic compounds were all associated with
misuse of the compounds in question. But several laboratory studies
have shown that wild species are generally more sensitive to arsenic
poisoning than many domestic species; therefore, some ecologic vigi-
lance is appropriate.
Most data on the effects of arsenicals on aquatic organisms, particu-
larly on freshwater organisms, were collected in short-term, direct-
lethality studies. Practically nothing is known about the sublethal
long-term effects of arsenic, singly or in combination with other
pollutants, on aquatic organisms.
Although early workers were not able to demonstrate any adaptation
in animals to toxic concentrations of inorganic arsenic, some recent
work has suggested that there may be a rather limited adaptive re-
sponse to inorganic arsenicals under some conditions.
OCR for page 216
Summary and Conclusions
Abnormal physiologic responses have been noted in animals ex-
posed to arsenic trioxide aerosols at concentrations considerably
below currently accepted air-quality standards. Unfortunately, these
experiments were carried out with the rat, which has a unique ability to
accumulate arsenic and is therefore a poor animal model for studying
arsenic metabolism. It is difficult to draw valid conclusions about the
public-health or environmental implications of these investigations.
High concentrations of arsenicals have been shown to decrease the
ability of mice to resist viral infection, presumably by inhibiting inter-
feron formation or action. However, low concentrations of arsenicals
appear to enhance the antiviral activity of interferon.
Arsenic is known to protect partially against the effects of selenium
poisoning over a wide variety of conditions. Arsenic decreases the
toxicity of selenium by enhancing its biliary excretion, thus clearing it
from the liver, the primary target organ in selenosis.
Preliminary results have suggested a role for arsenic as a nutri-
tionally essential trace element. Improved methods in trace-element
research such as the use of ultrapure water, highly refined diets, and
plastic animal housing apparently have enabled nutritionists to un-
cover a function for arsenic in normal metabolism.
The biologic effects of arsenic compounds on microorganisms ap-
pear to be mediated very much by the same mechanisms as in mam-
mals. However, some microorganisms have a substantial ability to
adapt to toxic concentrations of arsenicals. This adaptation seems in
most cases to be due to decreased permeability of the microorganism to
~__~....~_ _
Arsenicals clearly can be toxic to plants, but the biochemical basis of
such toxicity is less understood than that of the toxicity of arsenicals to
animals. As in animals, arsenates are generally less toxic to plants than
arsenites. One of the first symptoms of plant injury by sodium arsenite
is wilting caused by loss of turgor, whereas the symptoms due to
arsenate do not involve rapid loss of turgor, at least through the early
expression of toxicity.
The chvtotoxicity of organic arsenical herbicides is characterized by
my--or-- ~ - ~ .
a relatively slow kill; the first symptoms are usually chloros~s, cessa-
tion of growth, and gradual browning followed by dehydration and
death. Several variables can influence the response, including stage of
growth, senescence, moisture availability, temperature, light intensity,
and insect or mechanical wounding of foliage before treatment.
Arsenic can interact with several plant nutrients in either soils or
nutrient solutions. Phosphate can increase or decrease the toxicity of
arsenicals, depending on the experimental conditions. The toxicity in
OCR for page 216
some species grown on arsenic-contaminated soils could be reduced by
foliar or soil application of zinc or iron.
The past medicinal use of inorganic arsenic preparations has provided
the basis for reasonably clear definition of the consequences of chronic
systemic arsenic exposure specifically, characteristic hyperkeratosis
and, less frequently, irregularities in pigmentation, especially on the
trunk. Association of these features with other, less common disor-
ders, such as arterial insufficiency and cancer, in exposed populations
must be regarded as supportive evidence of a causal function of
arsenic. It should also be noted that many studies of populations ''at
risk" have failed to evaluate cutaneous changes adequately. Proper
examination of the skin of people subjected to chronic low-dose arsenic
exposure has the potential for providing valuable information related to
the dose and duration of exposure necessary to cause changes in given
populations. In a word, these benign skin lesions may be regarded as
sensitive indexes of exposure to an agent that has potentially serious
The present generation of physicians has not used arsenic and has
little direct knowledge of its toxic manifestations. Thus, the ''index of
suspicion" of the average practitioner may be relatively ineffective in
diagnosing isolated cases of arsenic toxicity.
There is also considerable reason to believe that, judiciously used,
arsenic may have therapeutic value. The time may be ripe to rediscover
an old remedy with modern analytic techniques.
Several occupational and nonoccupational episodes of arsenic toxic-
ity have occurred. Two of the best characterized and yet least known
nonoccupational episodes occurred in Japan in 1955. One involved
tainted powdered milk; the other, contaminated soy sauce. In the
former, 12,131 cases of infant poisoning were recorded, with 130
deaths. Evidence of severe damage to health, including retarded
growth and brain dysfunction, was found in a followup study 15 years
Experimental teratogenic effects of arsenic compounds have been
reported, but none of the studies has been sufficiently exhaustive to
allow accurate assessment of the human hazard. For example, the
doses that were administered to achieve effects far exceeded likely
environmental exposure, and accurate no-effect doses were generally
not determined.
OCR for page 216
Summary and Conclusions
There is some evidence that arsenicals can be mutagenic in humans:
An increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations was observed in
phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocyte cultures prepared from
psoriasis patients who had been previously treated with arsenic.
There is strong epidemiologic evidence that inorganic arsenic is a
skin and lung carcinogen in man. Skin cancer has occurred in associa-
tion with exposure to inorganic arsenic compounds in a variety of
populations, ~nc~uo~ng patients treated with Fowler's solution,
Taiwanese exposed to arsenic in artesian-well water, workers engaged
in the manufacture of pesticides, and vintners using arsenic as a
pesticide. The Taiwan data demonstrated a gradient of incidence with
degree of exposure and age. All these populations had a patho-
gnomonic sequence of skin changes leading to cancer.
Lung cancer has been observed to be associated with inhalation
exposure to arsenic in copper smelters, workers in pesticide-
manufacturing plants, Moselle vintners, and Rhodesian gold miners.
Two of the three smelter studies showed a gradient in the incidence of
lung cancer with the degree of arsenic exposure; one of these studies
also suggested that sulfur dioxide may be a carcinogenic cofactor for
the lung.
Although hemangioendothelioma has been reported occasionally in
people who have been exposed to arsenic, the case for arsenic as a liver
carcinogen is not clear.
The absence of a useful animal model is a serious handicap to the
study of arsenic as a skin carcinogen and is probably due to metabolic
differences between humans and the animals tested so far. The failure
to induce skin cancer in test animals is perhaps not surprising, inas-
much as neither melanosis nor keratosis has been duplicated in animals
and these effects appear to be inseparably linked to the tumorigenic
action of arsenic in the skin of man. The carcinogenicity of arsenic for
the lung in animals has not yet been evaluated by inhalation studies.
The preparation of material for the determination of arsenic requires
the usual care to ensure that the portion of the sample submitted for
analysis truly represents the whole. Special hazards related to arsenic
compounds are the possible loss of arsenous oxide by volatilization and
the rapid adsorption of some arsenic compounds from solution onto the
walls of storage vessels.
If total arsenic is to be measured in plant or animal tissue or in coal,
OCR for page 216
the sample is first wet-ached with some combination of nitric, per-
chloric, and sulfuric acids. Arsenic originally present in the sample at
very low concentrations must often be Reconcentrated before it can be
measured. If the sample is a solution, the arsenic can be coprecipitated
on metallic hydroxides or precipitated with organic reagents. It can
also be isolated from its original matrix by liquid-liquid extraction or
by volatilization as a trihalide or as arsine.
Until recently, total arsenic was usually determined calorimetrically,
by either the molybdenum blue method or the silver diethyldithiocar-
bamate method. Arsenic is now usually determined by atomic absorp-
tion, with the sample solution introduced into a flame as an aerosol or
deposited as a droplet inside a tube or on a metallic strip, which is then
strongly heated. Greater sensitivity has been achieved with atomic
absorption, however, by converting the arsenic to arsine and introduc-
ing this gas into a heated tube. Equal sensitivity can be achieved by
introducing the arsine into an arc in helium and measuring the resulting
spectral emission. Low detection limits for arsenic can also be reached
by neutron-activation analysis (often without chemical treatment).
Electrochemical methods, such as differential pulse polarography, can
achieve comparable sensitivity in the presence of natural pollutants
(e.g., sludge).
Environmental contamination with and human exposure to arsenic
compounds have resulted from incidents of air pollution from smelters,
the improper use of arsenical pesticides, and episodes of tainted food
and drink. The degree of arsenic air pollution due to smelter operations
and pesticide use should decrease if currently proposed occupational
and environmental standards are promulgated. The technical and eco-
nomic feasibility of the changes in engineering controls or work prac-
tices needed to achieve compliance with such standards, however, has
yet to be determined.
Although the total amount of arsenic injected into the atmosphere in
the United States as a result of coal-burning is very large, the sources
of such air pollution are widely dispersed, and arsenic exposure due to
fossil-fuel combustion does not seem to constitute a health hazard.
This contrasts with the situation in some other countries (e.g.,
Czechoslovakia), where the arsenic content of coal is high and high
ambient-air concentrations of arsenic result. Although petroleum gen

Summary and Conclusions
erally contains only small quantities of arsenic, oil from shale can
contain significant amounts; therefore, if use of this fossil fuel becomes
common, removal of arsenic from the oil or more careful environmen-
tal monitoring of arsenic is indicated.
The food supply normally contains small amounts of arsenic, but
these are not considered harmful. Some seafood has appreciable natu-
ral concentrations of arsenic, but in such a form that it is rapidly and
completely excreted by humans after ingestion. Arsenic residues in
foodstuffs due to arsenical pesticide or feed-additive use do not seem to
warrant concern. There have been isolated epidemics of food poisoning
due to arsenic as a result of manufacturing accidents, but they are rare.
Water supplies generally contain negligible quantities of arsenic,
although some cases of endemically poisoned waters have been re-
ported. Industrial effluents have been shown to contain arsenic, but the
self-purifying tendency of rivers and streams and improved quality of
wastewater discharges should help to minimize this problem.
The use of arsenical pesticides in food crops declined greatly after
introduction of the chlorinated hydrocarbon and organophosphorus
chemicals. However, as more and more restrictions are placed on the
use of the latter two families of compounds, the use of arsenical
pesticides may once again assume importance. If this occurs, more
careful monitoring of arsenic in the environment and food supply
would be imperative.
Our greatest area of ignorance about arsenicals in the environment
has to do with the ecologic cycling of arsenic compounds. Little or no
quantitative information is available regarding the fate of arsenicals in
the ecosphere, so it is not possible to state with certainty whether
arsenic is building up in any sector of the ecosystem. For example,
organic arsenicals are widely used as herbicides and desiccants, but we
do not know whether such use will eventually render the soil
phytotoxic, as has happened in some orchards in which lead arsenate
was heavily applied. More research is needed to investigate such
Suitable methods for arsenic determination are available for en-
vironmental analysis. However, sample-handling may present difficul-
ties because of losses of arsenic compounds via sublimation? especially
during air monitoring, and analytic personnel should be alerted to this
possible procedural pitfall.
Individual arsenic compounds can be determined only after isolation
by an appropriate method, such as volatilization, paper chromatog-
raphy, gas chromatography, or electrophoresis. When the nature of the
OCR for page 216
compound is known, the quantity present can be measured by measur-
ing the amount of arsenic present.
The continued concern about the association between inorganic
arsenic and cancer has raised questions regarding the implications of
widespread dispersion of inorganic arsenicals in the environment.
Clearly, the ecologic uncertainties about arsenic compounds deserve
more effort and attention.

One of my coworkers, an older gentleman who has been a mentor and in a lot of respects, like another father to me had open heart by pass surgery today. He had five blockages. He pulled through the surgery fine. He still has a long way to go, but it looks like he is going to make a full recovery. I am very thankful. His first grandson was just born about a year ago and it looks like he has a second chance to continue being that proud grandpa.
Praise be to God.
Please continue to pray for my friend to continue to recooperate.

As mentioned earlier, you can build a 8" x 12" precision metal lathe using a hand drill and files. It will drill and bore with precision.
Get the foundry book and the lathe book by David Gingery, and follow the instructions. If you don't have a drill press you can still drill accurate square to surface holes with a drill guide made by drilling a few different size holes (to accommodate common drill sizes) in a block of aluminum or steel on someone else's drill press. In all drilling operations, to get accurate hole locations you need to center punch, and step drill out. This applies to hand drills and drill press's alike. You can even make a drill guide without access to a drill press if you strap your drill to a bench top on a formed block with hose clamps, making sure the drill bit is parallel to the table top. Add some temporary wood rails on the bench under the bit to guide your block and slide the block into the bit, using the rails as guides. With this block as a guide you can then drill square to surface holes with the hand drill. Making a basic lathe is as simple as fixing a hand drill to a bench top, and making a simple tailstock attached to the bench surface. If you dress up the above rails and block drilling procedure, it IS a lathe. The block can become a tailstock if you fit it with a homemade center, since you drilled it parallel with the bench surface. |

The motors are actually 6v I think (Unimat1), standard RS380 types, but it's not hard to adapt a 540 (as per Unimat PL), or an old drill motor etc. And yes, by all logic there should be a huge community of HK 6in1 users posting their work and mods. |

Jeffrey Gundlach, the man Barron's crowned "the King of Bonds" in 2011, has been identified as the victim of one of the largest home heists that ever took place in Santa Monica, Calif.
A source familiar with last week's burglary, which was first reported by the Los Angeles Times, led ABC News to a third-party tip hotline operated by a spokesperson for Gundlach, which identified Gundlach as the victim. The Santa Monica Police Department has yet to name him.
On Sept. 14, 2012, according to the Santa Monica Police Department's report, officers answerd a call about a residential burglary in the 500 block of 12th Street that happened sometime between Sept. 12 at 3 p.m. and Sept. 14 at 8 p.m.
"The victim had just returned home from a trip and discovered that his residence had been burglarized, and that numerous high-end paintings and two wooden box art pieces had been stolen from various rooms throughout the home," read the police report. Gundlach's red 2010 Porsche Carrera 4S, which was parked in the garage, several expensive watches, wine and a small amount of U.S. currency had also been taken, according to the police, who "conservatively" estimated the value of the stolen items at $10 million.
Police believe a truck or van could have been used in the heist. A detective working on the case declined to comment on whether Gundlach had an alarm or security system in place, citing the nature of the ongoing investigation.
Gundlach first offered a $100,000 reward for any tips leading to the recovery of the stolen items but has upped it to $200,000, said a phone operator for tip hotline.
Gundlach was once the chief investment officer at investment management firm TCW, where he reportedly made about $40 million a year before he was abruptly terminated in 2009, accused of stealing trade secrets. TCW and Gundlach eventually reached a settlement.
Two years later, Gundlach, as CEO of DoubleLine Capital, Gundlach manages more than $30 billion in funds for the Los Angeles investment firm.

'I still love him' wasn't a confession I wanted to hear, when I knew the miscarriage was an abortion. You'd think that being pro-choice would make you exempt from being affected by it, but it doesn't. I cried for six hours, and the headaches haven't stopped since. My compassion has all but left me - either everyone deserves their personal suffering, or we're all suffering in relativity and no one can see it.
I had made a list of names and narrowed them down. Boy and girl names, though I made you swear you wouldn't buy any 'It's a GIRL' or 'It's a BOY' clothing. At least you kept that promise. I didn't expect to get so excited in the three days we knew, when your belly suddenly popped out and it wasn't a food-baby. The last thing you ate had been pizza, and nowhere near enough to get bloated on it.
"He-" I would have been happy if my sibling was a boy or a girl or, when they were old enough to decide, agender. I already knew that they wouldn't suffer with ignorance and two years of slow acceptance if they realised their body had never been theirs. But, as you do, I already had a personal prejudice: a brother whose first word would've been 'dad' instead of 'brother'. There would've been no one else to address. "He'll get the nick-name Pizza for the rest of his life now." I found I could suddenly stand it; and then, after, I hated it all the more. Pizza meant nothing as food.
I was too excited to notice your stomach when you came in that night - as you do when you're already used to the existence of something that makes life worth living, and expect it to keep being there.
"I miscarried," you said. "I lost the baby this morning."
Shock - would've been a relief. Instead I drew a blank. And then bitter disbelief swept through.
"A miscarriage or an abortion?"
It was a convenient day to miscarry. You had a doctor's appointment. In the morning.
You didn't answer. And after that I had nothing bar one sentence to say to you. Not until the next night, after you came home from work, just over a whole 24 hours, and that was just to grunt replies. How could I care to be nice to you when you found me, first crying in the front-room ten minutes after you came in the door, and then again in the bath-room, always asking, "What is it, is it about the baby?" as if it was a big fucking surprise to you. It was the first time I really saw that you had never been maternal. Cloying, clingy, obedient in a motherly role and congratulated for not being absent, but never maternal. If you had married a different man the first time around - not an abusive thug of a man - you might've been seen for what you are - an alcoholic and liar - instead of an alcoholic-out-of-necessity (despite the fact I had to see everything sober, and I rarely ever saw you anything but drunk). Now, reluctantly withering into old age and not much farther into sobriety, you're beyond pitying. You're England's answer to white trash.
"I want a bath," I moaned. The cold water tap running, and my head in the crook of my arm. I wanted to die. I wanted your arms away from me, away from your thoughts that said it could be made better by forgetting. My only shame for calling you white trash is that I have to accept being the son of it.
"Well, you can't have a bath in cold water, can you?"
After you'd left and I lapsed into my 24 hour period of total silence, except for grievances that ran themselves down my face, I managed to run a bath. Hot water, and then lots of cold. I felt hot, so hot, as if it would be cooler to tear my skin off. I felt myself aching in ways I hadn't thought possible. When the headaches began I thought it was from the stress of crying - I remembered when I had been a child and I'd cried myself to sleep one night (I don't recall the reason itself; maybe I'd heard you and him arguing again, maybe I'd just watched Mufasa's death scene in The Lion King), the distinctive overwhelming headache that throws itself at you before you lose consciousness. But when I managed to calm myself - not shock, just a blank slate - it persisted. I moaned for two things. The nearest name to winning had been Atticus, but you had picked that from my list in drunkenness. I'm past guessing about your sincerity. But I hadn't really settled on any one name. I'd thought of taking them to school. But that's premature. I'd thought of what their first word might be. I'd thought of the delight I'd feel when they tasted certain foods for the first time and their mouth would pop open in amazement and surprise. I'd thought of the screaming and the late nights and the early mornings and the interrupted sleep, oh believe me, I hadn't thought it would be fun and games and let's skip the first three years of terror (before it became fear at every disease and every predator looming and any girl or boy who might find something to laugh at before an adult compounded the jeer). I certainly hadn't thought of you raising them right. I've held out by the sheer power of a support network of psychosis, and hedging my bets on feeling better after breakdowns.
The bath lasted the whole of ten minutes and I got back into the same clothes wet. The rest of the night was spent ignoring you as much as possible, and looking, defeated, at the telly when you turned it to the news channel: "Kate has just gone into labour." I was sick of the new royal baby before it had even been born; before I even had to remember my communist associations and how much I hated Britain clinging to royalty despite all its efforts to call itself a democracy.
You didn't drink that night - but you'd drank the one before that, two days after conceding pregnancy and realising you looked about four months. You kept right on smoking too, hoping that the doctor's appointment would tell you it was cancer instead. They could've at least have told you that. I could've at least had something to look forward to.
It's not mine I kept telling myself through the night. And to all intents and purposes of that sentence, it wasn't. Not possible, and certainly not desirable. I thought the pain I was feeling was unrealistic: I shouldn't have felt as if my whole world had suddenly been blighted. A sibling, not a son, and my mother's child, not my own. I hadn't eaten much the day before, and I hadn't eaten not much but a chocolate bar all this day. Bad News Day. When you fell asleep on the sofa, I dragged - literally - myself to the kitchen. I didn't want to eat, but my stomach felt as empty as - well, as empty as I suppose your womb must be.
I found I couldn't eat, no matter how much I told myself at least one pain would stop, so I drank three cups of milk instead, and sat on the kitchen floor awhile. I hadn't stopped sobbing, but I hadn't made any noise alongside the tears. And back in my bedroom it was the same. I lay there for about an hour (grief and the people it keeps don't look after time well) wondering what there was left of life. I realised that no matter how kind-hearted I had been willing to be, no matter how - before this had happened - I'd thought you could understand someone's pain and that there was comfort in thinking of how many people had suffered as you had (a masochist through and through, when I'm not totally terrible), I suddenly understood that a grief this deep was personal. How much you could want it to be personal; I didn't even want to share this pain it was something to cling to.
Sleep came at some point. Concentrating on the dull budding points of the headaches somehow made them more sensitive to the host they were harming, and I fell unconscious with this concentration. At three a.m., though, I woke to the sharpest ice-pick headache I had ever felt, except it lasted for more than 30 seconds and I felt that if this was going to become a regular thing than this was officially a tuition in pain.
As well as that there was the first few seconds of ignorance that introduces itself when anyone is grieving - and then it hurriedly saunters away as if telling you, 'sorry, wrong person'. I didn't so much endure, as I did ride, on grief and pain, until falling back to sleep once more thirty minutes or so later. There's no relativity in time when you're suffering - you suffer in one room or another and no matter how many clocks on the wall, they aren't counting anything relevant to you.
The next morning - throughout the whole day - I didn't cry once. I didn't eat anything but a square of cheese. I didn't watch tv. I recall more headaches that felt like points of tension rather than points of pain. I think I read about two pages of a book. I did sing - Il Dolce Suono, 'the mad scene' of Lucia di Lammermoor. It wasn't ironic; I had been near enough singing it for the last two or three weeks, and for those minutes I thought I could feel again, until I realised I was merely ruminating on the grief I was going through.
I became aggressive again - angry, not violent. Life seemed dull again. No child was going to be the same no matter who's it was, no matter if I ever had children by whatever means when I'm older. And it is a very curious thing to understand that a child-not-child that is capable of being aborted will never be a child at all. Indeed, wasn't even a baby. Hadn't even been, realistically, alive to the point of feeling suffering.
And tonight this.
'I think I still love him.'
And I hate you for it, not because I don't want you to love him (indeed, life would've been simpler if we had still been living with him, though I'd neither have a voluntary job nor a potential paying job. Simpler in the ways that there'd be someone else to shoulder a functioning alcoholic), but because it puts a new spin on things. You didn't want what he couldn't have.
Then you sleep. And then you wake up.
And I keep thinking one thing: that even feeling this cold and unresponsive (not indifferent, not dead, merely detached and unable to function with any of the joy that had been shown to me in the wake of a new life), I am still able to prefer the thought of you dead.

It was inaugurated by Karunanidhi in 2008
The Arasu Cable TV control room on the premises of Thanjavur Cauvery Wholesale Co-operative Super Market (TCWS), may become vibrant soon with the announcement by the Tamil Nadu government to revive the network.
It was with much fanfare that the control room was inaugurated through video-conferencing by the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on July 15 2008, at a function in which Collectors from Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam participated. The control room which had a jurisdiction of eight districts provided feeds to hundreds of cable TV operators which were its members. The districts covered included Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Pudukottai, Tiruchi and Dindigul. In Thanjavur district, 40 cable TV operators were members.
Equipments, including eight dish antennas, D-Coder, En-Coder which were imported from foreign countries, were installed at a cost of Rs.10 crore.
However, the operations of the Arasu cable TV network became defunct on January 15, 2010. "We have all the equipments here. We are just waiting for the government's orders to restore activity," a control room staff said. Thanjavur was the first centre from where Arasu Cable TV corporation activities were launched by the previous government. As of now, Sumangali Cable Vision is providing the feeds to the local TV channels and cable operators. With the resumption of the Arasu Cable TV Corporation, the feeds might be got at a lesser rate. Private TV channel owners and local cable TV operators welcomed the move of the government.

Pulis: Clarets won't be affected
Pulis is expecting a businesslike attitude from the Clarets when the two sides meet at Turf Moor on Saturday, should the match go ahead given the frozen conditions across the country. Although Burnley are currently in managerial limbo, with long-time club servant Steve Davis in charge, Pulis believes he will be barely able to see the join. "The king is dead, long live the king," he remarked. "It can be difficult for a manager to take his team to a club where there has been a change of manager because you just don't know what the reaction is going to be like. "But players just get on with it. They are resilient and Burnley have also appointed Steve, who has been part of what Owen was doing, so there's only a little change. "We'll just have to approach it in the right manner, in the right way, as we do all games. "The most important thing is you should always try and affect things you can affect. "I can't affect what Burnley or Steve are going to do, or what the players are going to be like. "The only thing I can affect is how we will be and our attitude and approach to the game." Defender Ryan Shawcross fears Coyle's exit may even act as a spur, with the players at least having had time to shrug off the initial shock. "It will have come as a blow to them, but if anything it will bring them together even more and they'll be desperate to come out and show that life goes on without him," said Shawcross. "Steve Davis will take charge for the game and I'm sure he will be desperate to get a good result and put his name in the mix for the job. "He is well liked by the fans and players so he, like the rest of them, will be desperate for a win. "They have a very good home record, so we can't afford to take anything for granted. "They are similar to us in many ways because they have turned their place into something of a fortress, so we have to go there and be professional, give them respect, but hopefully get the job done." According to Pulis, there is every chance of the game going ahead, even though Burnley was snowbound earlier in the week. "Burnley have said it's more likely now than it was yesterday," said Pulis. "They'll make the decision, and we're hoping they'll make a nice early one, one way or another." Pulis may well have Tuncay Sanli available, despite the fact the striker limped out of Tuesday's 3-2 win over Fulham late in the first half with a hamstring problem after opening the scoring in the 12th minute. "We've had good news on that," remarked Pulis. "He's had a scan and it's not as bad as we thought because we felt there might be a tear. "There isn't, so we're pleased and he has an outside chance of being fit." Barclays Premier League Relegation 2009/2010. Click here to bet.

I think WWDC was a big FU to the media/Wall Street
What I loved most about WWDC was the big middle finger Apple gave the media and Wall Street. Basically what they said is they make a few really great products and take their time perfecting them, making them better. And they're not going to morph in to Samsung releasing new gadgets every other week just to please Wall Street or the tech press bordem. I hope this signals a new edgier Apple that isn't afraid to give the middle finger more often.

I don't see it as an FU to the media and Wall Street, I see it as Apple trying to regain control of the Apple narrative. After the success of the iPod, Apple got billions and billions of dollars worth of free press until about a year ago. Then the press turned on Apple and created this new narrative of Apple can't innovate, Apple is dying etc.

I don't think it was an intentional FU to the media/Wall Street, but it sure turned out that way. For me, it was Apple going back to their roots, not trying to "keep pace" with the competition, not trying to be all things to all people, not trying to release cheap products so they can move more units. They're truly focusing on making world class products, continuing to innovate, and concerning themselves more with challenging themselves internally to create the best products in the world, and less with getting caught up in the marketing/media catfight with their competitors.
After yesterday, everything from the software to the marketing feels so refreshed and refocused in a positive, unique way. I love it. |

Nope, they will just continue suing samsung for ripping off their ideas, then steal Microsoft's design ideas for windows 8 (flat, thin fonts very minimalist) and implement them in iOS 7, not to mention add a bunch of features android has had for years. Yup Apple has been very innovative lately.

You know the fact of the matter is that iOS is still the same thing. All they did was change the look and added things that have been done and acted like it was new. Guess that's how it works though. And even that's getting questionable responses. Plenty of the features introduces with iOS 7 have been available on Android.
I found it funny when they mentioned that the limit of 8 tabs on Safari was no more. I mean this is 2013 and that gets a mention? And that 3D tab view for Safari. Chrome for Android (not sure about iOS) does that already. iOS is a fine OS I'm sure, but when it comes to the iPhone/iPad/etc., Apple's stale. You saw a 'new feature' and the response for those who know, are, yea it's been done. So what? I would love to switch to the iPhone, but iOS prevents that from happening. It's clear Apple won't be making any truly drastic changes to iOS. So be it. I'm sticking with what works for me. If you like iOS, great. More power to you. But, again, Android has had much of that stuff for a while now. As for the Mac Pro, while I'm impressed by it, it's disappointing to see it's been locked down now. Nothing is going to be upgradeable. What if you want to upgrade the graphics card? You can't. Specs wise the Mac Pro is an epic pro. But in practically, I'm not so sure. I think it's time to find other ways to use OS X. Great OS for me, but not the way Apple's plans are for the hardware. But I am exciting about the new OS X. Apple seems to have it there. Oh and I loved Tim Cook's (I think it was him) comment that 2/3 of Android users are on 2010 software. Yes that is true, but it's not a fair comparison. Samsung, HTC, etc do NOT run pure Android thus users have to wait for their carriers to give them the latest version. What he should have compared iOS to was Nexus. Yea iPhone has more market share obviously, but the percentage would be MUCH more comparable. I love how executives can twist the truth. That goes for all companies, not just Apple. And Mr. Phil..."Apple can't innovate my ass" ... hehe
I use OS X because of Windows. And I use Android because of iOS. |

I hope Apple have realised that innovation does not occur without inspiration and have a change of attitude. Because they're looking increasingly hypocritical. Not that will effect sales I'm sure, but maybe one day competitors will begin suing back. Its about time Apple matured and stopped accusing everyone of copying. Did they really expect nobody else to follow their lead on mobile devices?

*The OS looks different, you won't get lost in the change, but you expect a radical change on something that is working very well? *Features can be compared and "stolen" between companies, but don't miss the trees for the forest. All OEMs changed (except Nokia and BB, it took them a bit too long) to look like an iPhone, the day iPhone was announced. *3D and tab limit, I agree, but is that your biggest problem? One that it makes your list? *The OS stops you from switching, and you want "drastic changes"? I am glad what you have works for you. Not sure what drastic changes you want... *Mac Pro, interesting approach. I am not a fan of "locked" down pro desktops either, but keep in mind that all other platforms are fixed already. I am sure we are in the minority to look to upgrade the video card before the 3-5 year life of a pro machine is up...Agreed, good specs. *The comment on 2010 holds true. If you ask most Android users, they are running ancient OS without an option. It is a fair comparison. You make an "unfair" attempt to hand-select a small segment of users to compare against the iPhone. Otherwise, don't say "Android" in your rants from an inferiority complex, say "Nexus". It is not twisting the truth. The reality is that most Android users are looking for the cheapest free phone that has a touch screen, they make calls, and buy very little content or applications. Just as with those who want to upgrade the MacPro, there is a subset of gear heads that like to hack and customize their Android experience. They are in the population that could actually tell you what Ben & Jerry's flavor of OS they run and totally love their experience. More power to them. Most people just want their phone to work, and some care more about screen size, battery life, or OS look and feel. Android is like the swampy mess of Windows with OEMs cranking out new specs every few months and proliferating the driver needs beyond what the separate OS company can deliver. This creates a middle man process of OEMs managing updates and delivery issues and bugs. The carriers aren't the hold up, my friend, it is the OEMs... (in more ways than you know). |

Never think a company will build the perfect box!
Hey tech4all, Please reread your paragraph. You got to start considering alternatives. "As for the Mac Pro, while I'm impressed by it, it's disappointing to see it's been locked down now. Nothing is going to be upgradeable. What if you want to upgrade the graphics card? You can't. Specs wise the Mac Pro is an epic pro." You want to upgrade? Get a PCIe breakout box and attach via Thunderbolt. Black magic Design or Sonnet or others have dedicated hardware to do very specific tasks. You are still envisioning an overly large computer box and there is no longer a need for that kind of architecture. Please quit asking for the same old stuff. |

I do see the Mac Pro and MacBook Air updates as big FUs to Wall Street. OS X also got to a point there.
Now, regarding iPhone OS 7, no. That was more of a pleasing of the masses with their cry to redo the theme. However, they did do some good things with it. The problem? A year too late and Wall Street and press compare it to Android.

As far as the UI changes, it seems pretty clear Ive has hated the look of iOS for a long time. If he had control over it years ago it probably would have looked different long before 2013.

I think they got complacent with the iPhone and thought it would take years before people caught up to them. Yes, it did take years, but not as much as they thought it would. Android got in full swing in two years and Samsung has led that charge high and might. Apple is making changes to try to regain a lead, and by doing so they must first give what they chose not to give while others did, and then come up with ideas that puts them in the led. In other words, this year is Apple's catch up and create-a-pace year. Evidence of that is easily seen in the Mac Pro, the new OS X features and the nice stolen features Apple grabbed with jailbreak developers. Remember, that App Store they love to brag about started out as Cydia and Installer back in 2007.

Regardless of the fact that Forstall was Steve's protégé, many ideas Forstall didn't like made it into iPhone OS since they were pitched to Steve by jailbreak developers who never even had a meeting with him. See? It wasn't hard to make a change with Forstall there.

Apple taking time to perfect its products: then and now
Random … vBulletin search results brought up this topic when I sought a place for a parody (search terms included Jony Ive).
Anyway … the parody ended up under 'Jony Ive Redesigns Things' … and I was left thinking about this topic, about this observation from the opening post (June 2013): Quote:
I don't know (before 2014, such things rarely interested me). But if it was that finger … well, I don't know who occupies the finger now, but it's certainly neither Wall Street nor the media: Apple's Software Quality Decline – a little concern that Apple has, recently, taken less than the usual amount of time to perfect things. Just a little … |

I was reading something on facebook that reminded me of my delivery driver job during college and I started remembering some of the memorable moments. I thought it would be fun to start a thread for some of the fellow delivery guys to share some of our stories.
During college I worked part time as a delivery guy for KFC (Yes KFC at that time did home delivery) and ran into my fair share of porn stars, strippers, bartenders, cat ladies, transvestites, drunks, and pot heads. I'll start the thread out with one of the more memorable and will add as I remember them.
I once made a delivery to an apartment that was a bitch to get too and as I was leaving I realize I forgot to give the guy his coleslaw. Knocked Knocked Knocked... no answer WTF? Since getting into the complex was such a pain I persisted... He's in there I know it. Well 15-20 minuets later the door opens and the dude is in full fucking drag! dress, makeup, heels, fake tits the whole nine yards! Well my WTF face was unmistakable; the guy looked embarrassing so I just handed him his coleslaw and walked away without saying one word.

You ask me why,
I still don't trust you,
Why I've built these walls to keep you away.
It's because I'm shy,
I am afraid of what you'll do.
If I let you stay.
Stay and be with me for too long.
Cause you see...
After years of being tossed out,
And being forgotten by everybody.
I've been filled with doubt.
The doubt that any one could ever accept me,
And this stitched up heart of mine.
I don't want to be forgotten again,
I am scared of having to lie and say I am fine.
Even though I am dying to let you know,
That you're killing me inside.
So please...
If you won't stay and keep me company,
If you just want to break me.
Please leave me be.
Because these walls were built for a reason.
They were built around my heart,
So I don't have to worry about it becoming broken.
Because one day it won't restart.
And you will be my end.

Otters clamp down on Lakers in playoff opener
It was the depth of the Fergus Falls bench which unfolded the Detroit Lakes boys' basketball team's plans of upsetting the top-seeded Otters Wednesday in the first round of the Section 8-3A playoffs.
The Lakers were able to keep close tabs on the Otter's top two leading scorers in post Mike Millard (13 points) and guard Austin Rund (eight points), but reserves Joe Gaworski and Drew Pearson helped offset that with 13 and 14 points, respectively.

Retailers certainly had their pick of troubles in 2008 — and we, in fact, did ask them to pick which of those troubles had the biggest impact on business. No. 1 on the list was the general sense of uncertainty that caused consumers to grip their wallets tighter. Trailing that was the dried-up credit markets, the summer's $4-a-gallon prices at the pump, the lack of must-have shoe styles and the dollar's weakness against the euro.

The red-sole king earned the design crown this year, according to 28 percent of FN readers. Among the competitors he bested were Marc Jacobs (last year's winner and this year's runner-up, with 20 percent of votes), Miuccia Prada and Manolo Blahnik. While the luxe market as a whole may have suffered, Louboutin's business thrived. And he fueled the desire among his followers with eye-catching shoes (with sky-high heels) on the fashion runways in New York and Paris.

[QUOTE=Blat blat;24238677 Also, if they actually remain alive through that second combo, god ****, that's one hell of a tank.[/QUOTE] Or a standard ryze build.

varus's damage output is also surprisingly high. was playing graves against him down bot and i was surprised when he took me down by 1/5 at lvl 1. had to ward that **** bush and juke more after that. then i played another game against him. this guy sucked, barely used his q or utilized the bush. then he raged about how varus has pathetic damage output. (i had cross chat enabled.) i havent played him, but from what ive seen he has a really good kit with a vayne-ish W that bursts people down. granted, his only escape is his slow, but i guess he can ult if he really has to.
I find him extremely enjoyable and rewarding to play. And I really feel like he benefitted quite a bit from the time on the PTR as well as the delay, as I find him to be quite balance, particularly in comparison to the other viable ranged AD carries. He may take a little work to get used to, but I think he's pretty solid overall.
I started playing Varus as a crit build and it worked pretty well. However I have heard of people doing fairly well with hybrid and even ap builds. Any thoughts to this?

I raise Q at level 1, but max E and W first, and then max Q, I find his E more reliable than his Q because it's easily predictable.

From the age of elegance, we present a small boxed set from Tiffany containing two glass bottles with sterling tops. This may have been for perfume, but judging from the masculine black leather case, it was probably a gentleman's travel set of cologne and talc.
The square bottles have screw on lids which are hallmarked Tiffany & Co. and are monogrammed on the top with the initials FAO which are also inscribed on the top of the case. The bottles fit snugly in the fitted case and the top seats nicely on the box.
The box measures 4 1/2" x 3" x 1 5/8". The bottles are 3 7/8" high and have a 1 1/4" square base. The only damage is a flea bite chip on one bottle (see photo), which is hard to see without a loupe, and some wear of the leather.
This would make an unusual addition to a Tiffany and/or perfume collection.

XOMA Announces Encouraging Interim Results From Gevokizumab Phase 2 Study For Moderate To Severe Acne Vulgaris
BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (Nasdaq:XOMA), a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies, today announced preliminary top-line data from an interim analysis of its Phase 2 proof-of-concept (POC) study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gevokizumab, a potent modulator of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), for the treatment of the inflammatory facial lesions seen in patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris.
The Phase 2 POC study is a double-blind randomized comparison of gevokizumab 0.2mg/kg and 0.6mg/kg versus placebo given subcutaneously once per month for three consecutive months. Investigators have enrolled a total of approximately 125 patients to date, and the interim results are based on up to 92 patients with available data. In line with FDA guidance, inflammatory lesion counts, the primary endpoint in this trial, and overall acne severity as assessed by responder analysis of the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), defined as at least a two-point improvement on a five-point scale, were measured at different time points up to Day 84. The study was designed to have 80 percent power to detect at least an absolute difference of 15 versus placebo in the mean inflammatory lesion count at Day 84 with statistical significance defined as p≤ 0.10.
The 0.6mg/kg dose group showed a statistically significant reduction of 19 in mean inflammatory lesion count on Day 42 compared to a reduction of 13 in the placebo treated group (p=0.077). Each of the groups had a mean baseline of approximately 31 inflammatory lesions. The magnitude of the difference was substantially maintained throughout the study, but differences at later measurement points were not statistically significant. The 0.6mg/kg dose group demonstrated both a clinically and statistically significant improvement in IGA at Day 84, showing a 31 percent responder rate versus a 5 percent responder rate in the placebo group (p= 0.031). The 0.2mg/kg dose group showed no clinically or statistically significant differences from placebo at any time point in inflammatory lesion count or in IGA.
