So far this summer, wildlife biologist Jim Pease has paddled hundreds of miles down Iowa's waterways to gather biological data for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Today on Talk of Iowa, he shares his experience.
Earlier this week, a levee broke in Rock Valley, Iowa, flooding several homes and businesses. Yesterday Sioux City residents flew into action sandbagging along the river.
Each year, the statewide nonprofit organization Iowa Rivers Revival honors a community for its commitment to the river that runs through it. This year the group named Decorah as its River Town of the Year.
On a cool spring day, fish splash at the trout hatchery in Decorah as a few hearty men in waders angle nearby. Alongside the Upper Iowa River is a multi-use, four season trail. The recreation options are among the reasons Iowa Rivers Revival selected Decorah and the Oneota Valley for this year's award.
It's been 20 years since the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers flooded, inundating much of the Midwest for months. Host Ben Kieffer looks back on this extensive natural disaster that affected millions of Midwesterns with IPR corespondent Dean Borg, Lester Graham who covered flooding along the Mississippi for NPR, and Bill Stowe who worked for Iowa Power and helped coordinate the isolation of Des Moines's electrical system when the Skunk River flooded the city.

The win was the second of the day for South African trainer Mike de Kock and jockey Christophe Soumillon. De Kock claimed victory in the Godolphin Mile with Soft Falling Rain, and Soumillon won on Al Mamun Monlau in the Dubai Kahayla Classic.

Over the years I have had 3 different 1911's; Springfield Armory Stainless model that I could not hit the broad side of a barn with, a Kimber Ultra Carry II that I really liked and my last was a Sig GSR fullsize that was nice but I sold it for something else.
Anyway I think I need another 1911 and I have been eyeing the Kimber Desert Warrior and the Warrior models at the local gunshop. Does anyone have either of these and are they good to go? I want a 1911 that straight out of the box is good to go, I really do not want to mess with it after paying $1,000 for it. This gun will be mainly for HD and range use so any comments will be appreciated.

For all you Bears visitors, take a gander at this article in SI this AM, Michael Silver is writing about how the Pats are gearing up for their SB run...this is the short version, for the long version click on the below.. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/michael_silver/11/22/patriots/index.html We'll be double-fisting drumsticks, supersizing stuffing and manhandling mashed potatoes like they're about to be outlawed. But you'll be happy to know that a certain star quarterback will be limiting his portions at his Back Bay condo come Thursday evening and waving off that oh-so-tempting slice of pumpkin pie. "Knowing Belichick, he'll probably have a weigh-in Friday morning," Tom Brady said Tuesday as he drove home from the Patriots' practice facility. "So no, there's not too much enjoyment planned. He doesn't care about holidays. His holiday is Monday, after we win." Brady was laughing as he said this, and if you're a New England fan, this is a very good sign. For one thing, it means the star quarterback and his head coach -- despite a rocky summer fueled by Deion Branch's holdout and subsequent trade to the Seahawks -- are on good enough terms for one to goof on the other publicly.... Brady was even more juiced by a deep route Watson ran on the Pats' third play of the game in which the tight end started toward the corner and cut back to the post, then made the catch for a 36-yard gain. "That was probably the best route of his career," Brady said. "He was double-covered and ran a great route to get himself open. Early in the season we struggled a lot with the passing game, but we've come a long way in the last eight weeks." As Brady knows, those first 10 games were just the appetizer. Now comes the main course -- and, if all goes as planned, a big helping of gravy to follow.
Yeah, Michael Silver. Same guy that wrote about how overrated Brady is his entire career just a couple of weeks ago. Give me a break.

Like Sir Henry Taylor, the celebrated novelist combined his literary work with that of a civil servant: in Trollope's case a postal official. Cameron took this photograph of him in October, 1864, when he was on holiday at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight and during a crisis in his career at the post office. Following the retirement of his enemy Sir Rowland Hill, Trollope had been passed over for promotion and was himself to retire two years later.

For nothing more than a laugh, my husband and I signed up for a local agency responsible for wrangling movie extras. And we get called -- a lot. Our availability limits what we can do, as we both have 9-5 day gigs, but I happened to have this past Monday off which co-ordinated nicely with an extra opportunity for a feature film.
My friends, you don't have to freeze -- or move across the country -- to eat barbecue all year-round. When sun-starved Canadians crave that nostalgic taste of summer in the bleary winter months, all we have to do is turn to our favourite local barbecue joint. Problem solved.
What do a Conservative party senator from Ontario, the Toronto Blue Jays, an Ontario public sector union and a part-owner of the Calgary Flames all have in common? If their chequebook is any indication, they have a keen interest in B.C. politics.
Audiences will also be treated to a live stage reading of David Auburn's play "Proof", featuring some of Vancouver's top actors, and afterwards get to learn about Auburn's experiences in the theatre, writing technique and approaches, influences, the road to writing a Pulitzer-award winning play, and much more, in an intimate moderated In Conversation.

Has all this violence gotten our attention yet? Has anyone you know been murdered yet, or murdered someone else? Do we have to know the people involved personally before we decide to rise up as a society and say NO! to the violence that's all around us?
I feared, way back in 2011, that the league's castoffs had figured out what they apparently now have: it doesn't matter if you do anything illegal in the NHL. You'll get a refreshing, short suspension and the other team you just crippled will still be suffering from it when you get back. That hit by Byron on Sedin was a perfect showcase of the problems Brendan Shanahan has created and then left for this league going forward.
Before Bill 4, any research done in a park had to be "necessary for the preservation or maintenance of the recreational values of the park involved." But as we've recently learned, pipeline giant Kinder Morgan has, with a permit from the B.C. government, been conducting research in B.C. parks for their pipeline expansion project since November 2013, four months before Bill 4 was introduced.
We rarely see the design and directing of this calibre, and the performances remind us of the heights to which live theatre may aspire. We are fortunate that this production that has been touring for two years was able to stop in Vancouver.
The most rewarding part of my job is all the great people I get to meet. Wait -- it's the food. And also, all the great people I get to meet.

A massive waste-to-energy garbage incinerator is being proposed for Nanaimo, population 88,000, to burn Metro Vancouver's garbage. It would be located on a site roughly 50 kilometres south of downtown Nanaimo, but prevailing winds would rain toxic material all over a town that breathes air rated by the World Health Organization as among the cleanest on earth.
Small is beautiful. When economist E.F. Schumacher first released his book of the same name in 1973 he had no idea that 40 years later tiny homes would become a massive trend.

Ghostly journey through Hong Kong's old Wan Chai district
It was a distinctly unspooky location. A cash point in a bright, blaring underground train station. But there I stood among 20 strangers, all of us on the trail of phantoms.
Look at the skyline and all you see of Hong Kong is an ultra-modern city with glistening buildings scraping the clouds or hugging the harbourfront in weird and wonderful shapes.
But lurking in between them are pockets of old Hong Kong soaked in a history at risk of being forgotten, as new buildings and developments shoot up, says Mak Tak-ching, the man organising a tour of the "haunted" spots in Hong Kong's old Wan Chai district.
The first tour of the year took place during Hong Kong's ghost festival month of August. In that month people burn offerings on the streets to placate their long-deceased ancestors. Many believe that the city is brimming with ghosts during that time.
Makeshift mortuary"Start Quote
End Quote Mak Tak-ching Ghost story tour guideWan Chai has the most haunted locations in Hong Kong"
The air was musky with smoke even though we started from a less-than-scary place: a construction site where a new shopping mall and residential development is being built.
Lee Tung Street - also known as Wedding Card Street - is famous for being where the printers of traditional Chinese wedding invitations used to be. Brides, grooms and interfering in-laws spent decades traipsing up and down, probably arguing over what to say on the card.
The next stop was the old Wan Chai market on Queen's Road East. Built in 1937, this is one of the few remaining examples of German Bauhaus-style architecture in town.
"The basement storeroom used to be a makeshift mortuary during the Japanese occupation," said Mr Mak.
He passed around newspaper cuttings, explaining the history behind each location and lamenting the disappearance of the old communities.
Although Mr Mak conducts a tour with stories of phantoms and horrors, streets like this one are also included as it is precisely this kind of history that Hong Kong risks forgetting, he says.
But as a Wan Chai resident Mr Mak is not just about nostalgia and ghost stories. He also has a personal interest in seeing the character of the area preserved and is a campaigner at the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, a pro-democrat body.
Wan Chai, Hong Kong
- Area: 9.76 km sq
- Population: 152,600 (mid-2012)
- Current function: commercial, residential
- British naval dockyard built in 1920s
- Heavy presence of military facilities along the coastline during World War II
- Frequented by visiting US Navy sailors
- Went through six reclamations since 1890, a seventh reclamation now under way, moving the coastline further north into the Victoria Harbour
- Landmarks include Happy Valley Racecourse, Hong Kong Stadium, Hung Shing Temple, Convention and Exhibition Centre
Source: Wan Chai District Council, Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department, Hong Kong Tourism Board
Mr Mak has been running tours like this since 2004. The intention, he says, is to promote conservation of Wan Chai through his stories, as well as what he calls Hong Kong's "property hegemony".
"It is a labour right as well," Mr Mak argued. "Although we are talking about people's right to live in their community, instead of labour relations at workplace."
One community historian criticised the tour as a political stunt exploiting people's superstitious beliefs. Mr Mak denies this and for most of my companions that night, it was not his political alignment but the ghost stories and learning a bit of history which drew their attention.
Traces no more?Wan Chai is well-known to the world. The 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, starring Hollywood's William Holden and Hong Kong's very own Chinese-British actress Nancy Kwan, was based entirely in this district on the north coast of Hong Kong Island.
And for decades, it has been the landing point for visiting US Navy sailors. Pubs and night clubs along Lockhart Road depend on their custom.
But the district's history stretches back even further. Chinese settlement was recorded in Wan Chai as early as 1819. It became the easternmost part of the City of Victoria - technically the "capital city" of Hong Kong under British colonial rule.
Its proximity to the then HMS Tamar also saw the district fitted with military facilities such as the Naval Dockyard and Royal Naval Hospital. With many ethnic Chinese residents from all walks of life, it came under heavy bombardment during World War II by the Japanese army.
And that is where the ghosts come in.
Mr Mak led us to the entrance of Star Street air raid shelter.
In 1985 residents in the area experienced "supernatural events", which they thought were ghosts escaping from the now defunct air raid shelter. It is said that during the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941, a Japanese bomb fell into the shelter before it detonated, killing hundreds.
"Wan Chai has the most haunted locations in Hong Kong," Mr Mak said. "These supernatural events are all recorded by media, with traces, and only a community with such a long history can achieve this.
Two women on his tour said they were not feeling well and left early.
But another, Ms Tong, had brought her husband and three children along. "It works as a family outing," she said.
"Start Quote
End Quote Dr Kiyoko Yamaguchi Chinese University of Hong KongHong Kongers have to feel that we should stop this trend to demolish old buildings"
"I love ghost stories but I don't think I would enjoy one that only scares the hell out of you. This one is better. It feels more surreal with all the history stuff mixed into it."
Deanne Catmull, a research assistant at the University of Melbourne, was visiting her friends in Hong Kong. She said: "I've been to a similar tour in Edinburgh and that was more chilling and haunted.
"I like this one because it has more light-hearted stories. It is interesting to find out the past of this whole area."
Mr Mak knows that time for that could be in short supply.
"You can see those historic spots that I bring people to are disappearing, or rapidly changing. One haunted house could eventually become a restaurant."
The "haunted house" he brought us to was Nam Koo Terrace. Built between 1915 and 1921, it is now an empty, locked-down Grade I historic building. It sits on the top of the granite-laid steps from Ship Street which before the 1921 reclamation overlooked Victoria Harbour.
The two-storey red brick house got a reputation for being haunted after its owner To Chak-man died of unknown causes inside it during WWII.
Nam Koo Terrace
- Location: 55 Ship Street
- Status: Grade I listed building
- Also known as the Red House or the Wan Chai Haunted House
- Built between 1915 and 1921 by the To Family from Shanghai
- Designed in Colonial Eclectic style combined with Chinese decorations and motifs
- Housed comfort women and geisha during Japanese occupation in World War II
- Currently owned by Hopewell Holdings, a major property developer which is building a hotel complex next to the house

It then, according to local tales, became a brothel where "comfort women" were kept by the Japanese army and forced to become sex slaves for troops.
According to local tales, it was looked after by maids after the war but later left abandoned. Adventurers break into the site from time to time and more spooky tales fly. For instance, residents claim they heard women screaming and youngsters who got inside say they saw "dark shadows" waving their hands.
The building's fate, however, remains unknown. A spokesperson for Hopewell Holdings, the developer that owns Nam Koo Terrace now, told the BBC it was still studying what to do with it.
The spokesperson denied that it would be renovated as part of the Hopewell Centre II, a 55-story hotel under construction just opposite the preserved old house. Mr Mak fears turning it into part of the hotel could make it less accessible to the community and the wider public.
Engaging the communityFor Mr Mak, conservation is not just about keeping the building, but allowing the public to have access to the site.
Wan Chai Market is an example, he said. After the market's relocation in 2008, the back of the listed building was knocked down, making way for what is now an elegant condominium block.
It was a government-sanctioned urban renewal project. The upper floor of the old market is now an apartment block and the lift lobby is only accessible by residents with a pin number to open the door.
"I think it's disastrous," says Dr Kiyoko Yamaguchi, architectural historian and artist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Since moving to Hong Kong seven years ago, she has fallen in love with Wan Chai, which inspired her to draw impressions of the district and host her own exhibition.
"Wan Chai has fewer British colonial official buildings or churches than some other areas in Hong Kong island," she said, adding that the neighbourhood's "smaller scale Tong Laus [pre-1960s Chinese residential blocks] and small shops" are part of its charm.
Developments like the old market "will destroy the whole cosy atmosphere of Wan Chai and old Hong Kong all together", she said.
In a written reply to the BBC, Hong Kong's Urban Renewal Authority says it adopted a "people-first, district-based, public participatory" approach, aiming to "balance the interests and needs of all sectors of the community".
"The URA has also all along made its best efforts to preserve and retain the local character, social network and economic vibrancy of each project."
The spokesman mentioned in its reply a recently completed "pure preservation-cum-revitalisation project", where a cluster of 10 pre-war historic buildings known as the Green House were converted into the Comix Home Base, an art centre dedicated to local comics.
The URA stressed it had planned the whole project together with the local community. While parts of the interior were knocked down, it became a small community garden.
This is what Mak Tak-ching believes should be done - more urban renewal projects, where people can interact with history.
Historian Dr Yamaguchi agrees: "I think the ideal situation is still that Hong Kongers have to feel that we should stop this trend to demolish old buildings."

"Simple and easy. Works well"
Great. Does what it's supposed to do.
Wants to install unneeded toolbars (but you can opt-out).
I first downloaded DVDVideoSoft's "Youtube to Video" software which wouldn't work on an audio-only file and doesn't create MP3s. Then I tried this program which was simple and worked perfectly. I didn't really explore all the settings, but for what I wanted, it was just fine, no complaints. One thing to be careful of though, during the installation process, it wants to install one or two toolbars. You have to take care to opt out if you don't want them. I didn't take a star off for this, though. After all, the product is free and they have to make a living somehow. But, I do wish this sort of thing was opt-in instead.

Okay, I was going to let this slide, but because word has already spread and so many people have jumped to conclusions already I need to address it.
On Valentines Day, The Animation Guild blog posted an article regarding the status of Disney Telvision Animation and in an excerpt thy said that the PnF staff is not their anymore and their offices are empty.
This lead to many people thinking that Phineas and Ferb has been cancelled. And honestly, I didn't believe it one bit. For one, the article was really vague about the status of the show. and they NEVER said that the show was cancelled. And personally, I rather hear the confirmation from either Dan, Swampy or anyone in the Phineas and Ferb team like Aliki confirm it.
And sure enough, I was right.
Swampy confirmed on twitter that Phineas and Ferb is going on hiatus after Season 4 ends. Here's the tweet to prove it. twitter.com/mmonogram/status/4…
Aliki also confirmed this as well. twitter.com/alikigreeky/status…
And for a while people thought everything was fine for now.........and then CartoonBrew posted an article saying that Phineas and Ferb is cancelled. Once again, jumping to conclusions yet again. Now at the time of this posting, CartoonBrew corrected their mistaked and edited their article, but the point still stands, people are jumping to conclusions.
Aliki responded to this article as well. twitter.com/alikigreeky/status…
So to those who think that PnF is getting cancelled, it is not and Swampy and Aliki confirmed it.
However the question is this. Swampy also said in the tweet that When PnF does go on hiatus, they are "making plans for what is to follow" What are they planning?
We don't know, and we probably won't know until they announce it. Maybe they might reveal it at Comic-Con cause let's be honest, after this fiasco, people WILL ask Dan and Swampy questions at this year's Comic-Con regarding this fiasco. But for now, we won't know until the time comes.

The summons threatens to revive interest in the mayor's drug use, and alleged criminality surrounding it, after several comparatively calm months on the campaign trail
The dates for both an extortion case and drug charges against Lisi were set Tuesday for the spring of 2015. The Toronto election is Oct. 27
Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux, who is leading a probe into Mayor Ford, attended the hearing, and later told reporters that his investigation of the mayor continues
A lawyer says there is no specific allegation that Mayor Ford was trying to get his hands on the video or that Alexander Lisi was acting on the mayor's behalf
Another release of police documentation on an ongoing investigation of Toronto Mayor Rod Ford reveals the existence of five videos related to the mayor's apparent smoking of crack cocaine — and that another video that could "shed further light" on the incident is missing.
'Your boss is going to get his this weekend,' is how Chief Bill Blair described in an interview the 'heads up' Alexander Lisi, Rob Ford's one-time driver, gave to investigators
None of the allegations — including crack and heroin use — have been tested in court, but that hasn't stopped people from demanding explanations from police
The shooting might have been forgotten in a list of black men lost amid a growing guns-and-gangs street culture. Instead, it marks a landmark in the Ford scandal
Chris Selley: Whatever steps you might take to ensure you're buying ethically sourced weed or crack or heroin, you are associating yourself with a violent underworld
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford told his staff he lost his cell phone at a public park clean-up this spring, former spokesman George Christopoulos recalled in a police interview

Connection LyricsArtist: Jefferson StarshipAlbum: Nuclear Furniture Warm.....round the hunting fire Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior Protected from ferocious winds Under the shield of the dead gladiator Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft All is black I cannot see your faces I need Light I want to see your eyes Let my voice wash over your faces Connection Connection Whoaa ohhh A hundred thousand years ago People livin' in bone white cities Comin' and goin' on streets of silver Talkin' future history Then something very strong went wrong And suddenly People gathered round the hunting fires (Huddled in caves like animal, not human) Round the warmth of the late night fire Cities gone, memories fading Spend their lives round the late night fire Give their souls to the hunting fire Seeking each other's company Tryin' to remember ancient history They lost connection They lost contact They need to touch you Reach out across the ages and touch you Meanwhile somewhere in the 20th century A young girl named Phoebe Caulfield Plops herself down on the sofa Pops open a soda and watches you She likes to watch murderer talk She likes to see them on my TV She likes to watch them how they walk She likes to hear what they say It's like a car crash Bloody fascination You wonder how they get their shoes tied Sit and stare at the horror there She knows you watch them too Stranglers, murderers, snipers, terrorists Political assassins, crazy ones, cool ones All them looking for Connection They lost contact They lost direction They need sexual, mystical Magical, uninterrupted, Peter Gabriel like Contact Here I am Again inside This darkness All is black I cannot see your future Give me light I want to see your eyes Just a little light Inside your future A small connection Connection Ah!!!! I'd like to see Jesus and Mohammad On the road to Damascus What did you think they would say Would they fight with knives clenched in their teeth Like Jews and Arabs today Or would they walk and speak Like philosophers and thinkers Amused at each other's insights Relishing the brain waves there Round the warmth of the hunting fire Eager for, hungry for They got to have You know they love Connection Contact Communion And let our two great religions Cease their senseless struggle It only hurts the children Connection Connection

Only if you ride in on elephants to conquer the CHUG empire.
Am I being daft or something? I have started trying to download the presentations at http://www.ahaconference.org/confere...presentations/ and a few of them (haven't tried all), such as Ron Jeffries' and Sean Paxton's download an entire zip file with a bunch of folders, such as _rels, docProps and ppt. Now, how the hell do I open the damn presentation? I see a bunch of xml files in the ppt folder and try to open them with powerpoint as an xml presentation and get an error. Can someone please help? I am actually pretty computer literate; maybe I've been in the mac world too long...
I didn't get any zip files for those presentations. I just got .ppt or .pptx files, although two of them (Peter Zien's and Dan Gordon's) are PDFs. Perhaps you are downloading the website contents as a zip.
I watched Basic Brewing's club night video. At 4:10 Shooter says he keeps getting BBQ sauce on his hands. Ha ha!
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)

adidas Consortium Celebrates 10th Anniversary With Superstar Pack by Patrick Johnson 4 Comments
September 10, 2012 BY John Kim / 1
Has UNDFTD become to go-to U.S.-based partner for great sneaker collaborations? Their iconic strike-through tally logo has become a mainstream symbol of urban lifestyle – particularly in footwear – and this upcoming release in partnership with A Bathing Ape and adidas Originals further proves that UNDFTD is the undisputed leader for these sorts of co-op designs. Using the adidas Campus as the base, UNDFTD and Bape make their marks with the proper gold-foil logo-ing on the heel with A Bathing Ape's much-duplicated camouflage print on the interior lining as well as the tongue. A far more 'casual' package than the trail-inspired ZX 5000 that's part of this Pack, the Bape x UNDFTD x adidas Campus is set for a release on October 26th. More of the Campus just below, so stay tuned for another detailed look of the ZX leg of this set and we'll keep you updated on other developments.

Track multiple projects in one app
OfficeTime is a flexible, low-key, and low-price time-tracking app, perfect for anyone who wants to track time across multiple tasks and projects.
OfficeTime is a flexible, low-key, and low-price time-tracking app, perfect for anyone who wants to track time across multiple tasks and projects.
OfficeTime uses a simple (if not particularly attractive) single-window interface, with a "play" button (to start or stop a timer) and a list of "sessions" associated with a given project. Each session can have a different billing rate and category (for example, admin or design), along with a record of time logged and any notes--all of which are easy to edit, in case you forget to start a timer or are working away from your computer. You can also easily add expenses and fixed fees.
True to its easygoing nature, OfficeTime often gives you several different ways to do the same thing--for example, you can start and stop timers with the easy-to-minimize main window, or you can use the menu bar or Dock. You can also quickly switch between projects with a drop-down, or you can adjust your settings so that you can have multiple projects (and windows) open at once. You can also sync up with iCal (with sessions appearing in your calendar), and generate reports for any given time period, for any number of projects. OfficeTime also has optional invoicing features, along with easy tracking for which sessions and projects have already been billed.
This streamlined app includes many thoughtful touches, such as autosaving and archiving, autopausing other timers, and even notifying you when a timer is running but your computer has gone idle. Along with its quick-start interface, low price, and generous trial (fully functional for 21 days, with a 120-day guarantee), OfficeTime is definitely worth a try if you're looking for time-tracking software.

Is this an official opinion or just your own opinion? Because with something like Ionic and Manamune for example, they're so niche that you almost never see them, and as you said, they're suboptimal in nearly all cases. What was the point of having them in the first place? I'm pretty certain that even back when it was created, mana is almost never an issue for AD's past the laning phase. And Ionic Spark seems outclassed by so many other options. Ionic Spark is irresistibly fun to build, but functionally there isn't much reason to build it unless you're Shen, hence you'll never see it in 99.9% of serious matches. (maybe if it's damage scaled you'd see it used)

Why not have an AS+Armor item that grants aura benefits, much like the old Stark's Fervor (effectively LoL's version of DotA's Assault Cuirass); it caters to supports and a couple of auto-attack champions while not being so good on bruisers everyone you described wants it.
Systems Designer
Xyph since you are here and we are talking about Armor, is there a way to make the Armor/MR values more visible while in game? Yea we can see that X champ has tons of hp bars so he has a lot of HP, but what about Armor? When I get into a team fight and I see that the enemy AP built RoA and Rylai while the bruiser has Trinity Force and Warmogs, who should I focus? I dont know who I can burst down faster right off the bat because they both have tons of HP, but how much Armor? how much MR? I really wish there was a better way to visually convey those stats.
Does ionic spark's proc counter resets to 0 hits if you don't auto for a while? Or do you keep the stack regardless. Ex. can i auto something 3x, then after half a minute of team fight dancing, have it proc on the 1st and 5th auto when i engage?
Why not make an item that builds from recurve bow and a chainvest, call it Templar's Ballista. recipe - 660 gold +50%aspd + 55 armor "Unique passive - Every time you get hit with a basic attack increase your attack speed by 10 percent, stacks up to 4 times."

Is rare,
Is invaluable,
Is very simple.
Like a head laid on a shoulder,
Like closing your eyes and thinking of loving,
Like a glance.
And yet,
It's what's most valuable in this world.
Everyone seeks it,
But few people find it.
It's not bought,
It's not sold,
It's acquired.
It leaves,
It comes,
We always run after it,
We only want to keep it to ourselves.
But happiness never comes alone,
When it's shared.
