This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Frank Frazetta, an internationally known illustrator of fantasy art and comics, was born on February 9, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York. It has been reported that his art career began at age three and that some of his works were sold by age eight, to his grandmother, for one cent. Her interest encouraged him to pursue his interest in art. Frank was the oldest of four children, and when he was only in kindergarten his teacher was impressed that his drawing abilities were better than 10 year olds. Frazetta created comic books throughout elementary school, with a "Snowman" and "The Red Devil and Goldy" as the main characters. These characters still exist and exhibit a high level of sophistication, especially considering his age.
When he was eight, Frazetta was enrolled into the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. One of thirty students at the time, the youngest pupil was asked by his teacher to draw something complex. Frazetta thought he was in trouble when the teacher, Michael Falanga, returned to view the results and an excited exclamation of "Mama Mia!" was heard. The Italian teacher, well known in his home country, was impressed with Frank's natural ability and thought highly of his potential. Falanga thought Frazetta's potential was great enough that he was soon to send Frank to Italy to study art. Falanga felt Frazetta was wasting his time with comics, and that his talents should be directed towards higher levels of art.
At the age of sixteen, Tally Ho comics displayed Frazetta's first professional comic work. This exposure provided the stepping-stone for him to go on to do illustrations of funny animals for text stories seen in Coo Coo and Happy comics. He also created stories for "Heroic Comics" and eight highly acclaimed illustrations for "Shining Knight" stories for DC (formerly National). Two of Comic's greatest talents, Al Williamson and Roy Krenkel, inspired and influenced Frazetta, and led him to employment for companies such as Standard, Lev Gleason, and at Toby with Williamson, and later at M.E., where he drew "White Indian" and "Thun'da", his only complete comic book. "Thun'da" was derived from Edgar Rice Burrough's "Tarzan", and was considered to be a great achievement.
One of his greatest stories, "50 Girls 50", resulted from involvement with Bill Gaines at EC Comics, together with collaboration with Williamson and Krenkel. Another story included "Squeeze Play". He contributed to some of the most respected comic book covers ever created, including seven covers for the Famous Funnies (Buck Rogers) comic in the early fifties. These covers later overwhelmed George Lucas, who has claimed they were the inspiration for the Star Wars Saga.
Frazetta's famous "Johnny Comet" and "Ace McCoy" comics were created in 1952, but lasted less than two years. Beginning at this time Frank also began assisting Al Capp for about ten years on the "Lil Abner" comic strip. He then worked for paperback publishers doing interior illustrations before landing at Warren Publications. There many EC artists would gather to work on Creey, Eerie, Blazing Combat and Vampirella. Some of the most memorable pieces for members of the baby boomer generation would include "Egyption Princess" (Eerie #23), "Sorcerer" (Eerie #2), "Wolfman" (Creepy #5), "Sea Monster" (Eerie #3), and others. While at Warren, he also drew a "Creepy's Loathsome Lore" page and another famous story, which some regard as his best comic story, "Werewolf", the story of a crazed wolf-hunter who is himself the hunted. These five pages by Frazetta are considered a pinnacle of achievement for the comic medium.
Canaveral Press and Doubleday Books commissioned Frazetta for E.R. Burrough's stories, including Tarzan and the Mars series. The response from the public was overwhelming. Other paperback companies started noticing. United Artist's Film Studios, had Frazetta do the poster for 'What's New Pussycat'. Also highly noted is his incarnation of Lancer Book's "Conan the Barbarian". Frank's single greatest achievement is considered to be his painting for the cover of the first book in that series, "Conan the Barbarian". It became one of the greatest selling series in history, more than 10 million copies.
During the 1970s, Frank and his wife, Ellie, concentrated on raising their four children on Long Island. However, they later decided to move back to Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, to be closer to family. Ellie began a small business called Frazetta Prints. She worked with distributors on five of her husband's prints, attempting to place Frank's work in the public's eye. Years later, this business would pertain to all aspects of Frank's art, including over 150 different prints, books, and lithographs. After a year and a half in Sheepshead Bay, and desiring privacy and open space, the Frazettas began looking for the proverbial old farmhouse with lots of acreage. They found a run down farmhouse with nearly 70 acres of land outside Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Now a beautiful estate, this site has became 'home' to their children and grandchildren, as well as the Frazetta Art Museum.
Several of Frazetta's works made it to auction at Sotheby's and Christie's in the 1990s, resulting in high five-figure numbers. With this renewed interest came new projects and ideas. Frank was convinced to assist Randy Bowen co-create a bronze sculpture of Frazetta's signature oil, 'The Death Dealer'. Frank was also commissioned to produce a book of pencil drawings for Glenn Danzig. This volume was entitled, 'Illustrations Arcanum', and immediately became a hit, re-energizing Frazetta's name in the art world. A series of Death Dealer comics followed, as well as other fantasy-supernatural theme productions such as a series of sculptures based on Frank's 'Fire and Ice' models, and a new character called Jaguar God.
A documentary of the life and art of Frank Frazetta entitled, "Frazetta: Painting with Fire" was directed by Lance Laspina and produced by Cinemachine.

Following is the obituary of the artist from
The New York Times,
May 11, 2010
Frank Frazetta, Illustrator, Dies at 82; Helped Define Comic Book Heroes
By Bruce Weber and Dave Itzkoff
Frank Frazetta, an illustrator of comic books, movie posters and paperback book covers whose visions of musclebound men fighting with swords and axes to defend scantily dressed women helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, died on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla. He was 82.
The cause was complications from a stroke, said Rob Pistella and Stephen Ferzoco, Mr. Frazetta's business managers.
Mr. Frazetta was a versatile and prolific comic book artist who, in the 1940s and '50s, drew for comic strips like Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" and comic books like "Famous Funnies," for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer Buck Rogers.
A satirical advertisement Mr. Frazetta drew for
earned him his first Hollywood job, the movie poster for "What's New Pussycat?" (1965), a sex farce written by Woody Allen that starred Peter Sellers. In 1983 he collaborated with the director Ralph Bakshi to produce the animated film "Fire and Ice."
His most prominent work, however, was on the cover of book jackets, where his signature images were of strikingly fierce, hard-bodied heroes and bosomy, callipygian damsels in distress. In 1966, his cover of "Conan the Adventurer," a collection of four fantasy short stories written by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp, depicted a brawny long-haired warrior standing in repose on top of a pile of skeletons and other detritus, his sword thrust downward into the mound, an apparently naked young woman lying at his feet, hugging his ankle.
The cover created a new look for fantasy adventure novels and established Mr. Frazetta as an artist who could sell books. He illustrated many more Conan books (including "Conan the Conqueror," "Conan the Usurper" and "Conan the Avenger") and works by Edgar Rice Burroughs (including "John Carter and the Savage Apes of Mars" and "Tarzan and the Antmen").
"Paperback publishers have been known to buy one of his paintings for use as a cover, then commission a writer to turn out a novel to go with it,"
The New York Times
reported in 1977, the same year that a collection of his drawings, "The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta," sold more than 300,000 copies.
Frank Frazzetta was born in Brooklyn on Feb. 9, 1928, and as a boy studied painting at a local art school. (Early in his career, he excised one z from his last name because "with one z it just looked better," Mr. Pistella said. "He said the two z's and two t's was too clumsy.")
Mr. Frazetta began drawing for comic books of all stripes — westerns, mysteries, fantasies — when he was still a teenager. He was also a good enough baseball player to try out for the New York Giants.
The popularity of Mr. Frazetta's work coincided with the rise of heavy metal in the early 1970s, and his otherworldly imagery showed up on a number of album covers, including Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" and Nazareth's "Expect No Mercy." Last year, Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist for Metallica, bought Mr. Frazetta's cover artwork for the paperback reissue of Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Conqueror" for $1 million.
Mr. Frazetta married Eleanor Kelly, known as Ellie, in 1956. She served as his occasional model and as his business partner; in 2000 she started a small museum of her husband's work on their property in East Stroudsburg, Pa. She died last year.
Mr. Frazetta is survived by three sisters, Carol, Adel and Jeanie; two sons, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, known as Frank Jr., and William Frazetta, both of East Stroudsburg; two daughters, Heidi Grabin, of Englewood, Fla., and Holly Frazetta, of Boca Grande, Fla.; and 11 grandchildren.
After Ellie Frazetta's death, her children became embroiled in a custodial dispute over their father's work, and in December, Frank Jr. was arrested on charges of breaking into the family museum and attempting to remove 90 paintings that had been insured for $20 million. In April, the family said the dispute over the paintings had been resolved, and the Monroe County, Pa., district attorney said he would drop the charges.
Added note:
In July 2010, two months after the artist's death, a private collector bought the painting
Conan the Destroyer
for $1.5 million from a family trust.
This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born in l928 in Brooklyn, New York, Frank Frazetta was an artistic and physically gifted child. At the age of six he began drawing his own comic books. He was to become an internationally known illustrator of fantasy art and comics.
At the urging of his teachers, Frank was enrolled at the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts when he was eight years old. Under the tutelage of Michael Fulanga, he learned brush technique and perspective.
During his teen years, he excelled at baseball and drawing. The New York Giants farm squad offered Frank a position but he had no desire to leave Brooklyn for Texas. He made the decision at this time that a career as an artist would last longer than a ball player's. At the age of sixteen, the comic artist John Quinta hired Frank to draw comics.
By l952, he had his own comic strip,
Johnny Comet
at the Mc Naught Syndicate. When that comic strip was canceled, Al Capp hired Frank as a ghost artist for the popular
Li'l Abner
comic; a job he had from l955 to l961. During this time he worked for various comics publishers including
Mad Magazine
, drawing animals, westerns, mysteries, and fantasy.
Frank's career took a new direction in l964 when he was hired to paint book covers for the "Tarzan" stories. His big break came when Lancer books approached him in l965 with a commission for
Conan the Adventurer
covers. These covers have his trademark erotic tension and dramatic composition, exploring the theme "Beauty and the Beast". The cover art Frank did during the sixties has influenced the whole school of fantasy artists.
In l965, Frank was offered a very lucrative commission from United Artists. He was to create poster art for the comedy,
What's New Pussycat
. He made a year's salary from this painting. Other poster commissions followed:
After the Fox, Hotel Paradiso, The Busy Body,
and Roman Polanski's
The Fearless Vampire Killers.
From that time on Frank did not have to scramble for clients, he could pick and choose assignments. Art work he had already done was often matched to an appropriate book, story, or project by art directors.
Having a reclusive nature, Frank moved with his wife and four children from Long Island to a remote house on sixty-seven acres in the Pocono Mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania in l971. In l985, the family opened the Frazetta Museum in East Shroudsburg, Pennsylvania, showing originals of Frazetta's work.
A thyroid malfunction afflicted Frank during the years l986 to l994. His recovery sparked a creative renewal. He allowed a few of his originals to be sold at Christie's and Sotheby's for high five figure sums. In l994 he had his first New York Gallery exhibition.
Frank has said of his work. " An enormous influence in my life, which I think you can see in my work is the film
King Kong
. The total work of art, the hazy, misty wonderful quality of it is something I always shoot for. That mystery, that sense of wonder that's what I try to capture."
Frank Frazetta is the winner of the Spectrum Grand Master Awards and the Hugo Award for best artist.

Help Needed
Campaign Source: www.lincolnshireblog.com
Patriots across Britain are pleased to announce the start of a nationwide campaign to report on events carried out over the past century designed to subvert our English Constitution and to hand our country over to a foreign power, namely the EEC (now known as the EU).
Below is a hard-hitting leaflet we wish you to read, copy and spread far and wide, whether by email or distributing paper copies. Put them in your window so others can see, hand them out in Towns and cities, show them to friends and family to educate them, show your councillors, leave them in waiting rooms, publish on blogs, websites and social networking sites, post them to people you know - do what you can to promote this campaign as people need to be aware what crooks in westminster have done in the past and that other MP's continue to collaborate in Treason.
Click on image to enlarge (you can then right click and save the file to your pc and print). Top image is page 4 and 1, bottom is page 2 and 3 which can be printed on reverse side.
We have also provided a letter template below which you can send to your MP to inform him/her of the crimes that have taken place and who allowed this to happen. If your MP refuses to take action on this, he/she will then be committing "Misprision of Treason." This can then be reported to the Police. Seventy Police Stations have already been visited and informed of Treason by brave people up and down the country, BUT we would like and need more.

Please note if you send to MP's outside your constituency they will reply to say you have to speak to your own MP. I have today received a letter from Parliamentary secretary to Sir Peter Tapsell (Louth & Horncastle MP) to say exactly this and passed the letter on to my own MP (thank you). Interestingly Sir Peter is away from Westminster during the Parliamentary recess - hmmmm. Obviously Parliamentary secretaries are not aware of the seriousness of this campaign and they will now be informed of the following:
The Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament - although mainly concerned with other matters such as interests - does very neatly and briefly give the answer:
III. Public Duties of Members
4. By virtue of the oath, or affirmation, of allegiance taken by all Members when they are elected to the House, Members have a duty to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, her heirs and successors, according to law.
5. Members have a duty to uphold the law, including the general law against discrimination, and to act on all occasions in accordance with the public trust placed in them.
6. Members have a general duty to act in the interests of the nation as a whole; and a special duty to their constituents.
We have a very good constitution - it is about time we started bloody well using it. Enough talk, lets get on with it. Here are the tools, go and use them and let's put insurmountable pressure on the elite. Let them know we want OUR country back! This campaign will run and run.
Treason Audio
Norman Reddaway Subverting our English Constitution in his own words - that was a crime of Sedition
Alison Christopher - personal p.a to Conservative MP Sir Tufton Beamish using influence to promote EEC.
Nigel Ryan Editor of ITN (meeting at Connaught Hotel) getting an extra 5mins added to Programme to aid EEC
Yes Mr Hattersley, we agree, this DID involve Significant Loss of Sovereignty and;
NO Mr Geoffrey Tucker the Battle sure isnt over!
To end with, we will partially quote a speech by arguably the greatest politician this country has ever seen:
"I dont deny those who wish to promote the benefits of the EEC, but what they can never be is a Patriot"
Enoch Powell
Below is a list of all MP's email addresses. Try and send the leaflet and any letters to as many of these as possible.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Economic Report has found a promising solution that puts power back in the healthcare consumer's hands. Rising Medical Solutions will discuss this solution and more in an upcoming episode of the show's series on Solutions for the Rising Costs of Healthcare.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080206/AQW030LOGO-b)
The days when the resolution of a medical claim resembled anything like a simple financial exchange are as distant a memory today as the idea of a doctor making house-calls. More than ever, healthcare providers, insurance carriers, employers and a host of other professionals find themselves caught up in a quagmire of bureaucracy, legal issues, and competing interests. Too often, it is the public's confidence in the healthcare system that suffers the consequences.
Healthcare providers are increasingly seeking a fair and balanced arbiter of seemingly conflicting financial and medical interests, and one Chicago-based firm is committed to filling the void.
Rising Medical Solutions (Rising) is a national healthcare management firm which developed its industry expertise in the auto, workers' compensation, liability, and group health markets. The Company is one of the fastest growing private enterprises in America, as ranked by Inc. magazine and the Private Company Index (PCI), and its medical and care management programs decrease the US healthcare cost structure by creating system efficiencies and generating savings from billions of dollars in medical charges.
For close to a decade, Rising has worked to put competing interests at bay by taking an integrated approach where both financial and medical care concerns are met, with the real winners being healthcare consumers. Employer

With its swept-wing design and narrowed front end, there's no mistaking the DeltaWing for anything else on the track.

Nissan DeltaWing completes first race with a solid finish
Over two years ago, a group of IndyCar team owners revealed a prototype called the DeltaWing that was aimed at changing the IndyCar racing scene forever.

Jump ahead to now, and the Nissan-backed DeltaWing has actually managed to complete its first race, and with respectable placement too. Read More
Nissan Deltawing development on track for Le Mans
Gizmag is essentially about new thought - new and better ways of doing things. Hence the DeltaWing Project which we detailed previously, is of greater fascination than most current auto racing projects because the 1.6-liter Nissan DIG-T turbo-powered car is hugely innovative. Racetrack testing is well underway and the car recently had its first serious outing in the wet at the U.K.'s Snetterton circuit. Read More
By definition racing vehicles are these days developed within the confines of a formula to ensure a level of close competition. The formulas are changed every season or so but developments tend to be incremental rather than revolutionary. One experimental project that has been running outside of any formula and hopes to truly change the face of racing is the Delta Wing project designed by US-based Brit' Ben Bowlby and supported by motorsport legends Don Panoz and Dan Gurney. Now the project has attracted a suitably hi-tech powerplant, some serious sponsorship, and its first race. Read More
Radical DeltaWing rocket-shaped car proposed to revitalise IndyCar
Two of four submissions have now been unveiled by the companies wishing to produce the next generation of IndyCar open-wheel racers, and the most recent one is one of the most fascinating looking racecars we've ever seen. The DeltaWing is a radical departure from traditional open-wheeler design - in fact, the only thing you could really compare it to is the bizarre lovechild of a drag racer and a Batmobile. With its comically narrow rocketship front end, broad rear end and narrow tyres, the DeltaWing aims to outperform the current crop of IndyCars for significantly less money, while delivering extraordinary efficiency gains and leaving a clear airstream for following cars, in order to promote close racing and overtaking. But is the public ready for a car that looks... so little like a car? Read More

KTM 990 SMT + 7 days + Austrian & Italian Alps = FUN!
First of all, a million thanks to all those who helped me with the planning here - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=464686
PREFACE: It all started last year when I was invited to Austria by Bajaj and KTM for a feel of what would be coming to India soon - READ. Though I hardly rode for like 200km, what I experience that day left a lasting impression in my heart and made me plan the ride of my life. After hundreds of emails and phone calls, the morning of 28th August saw me land in Salzburg, the capital of Austria. This was it my first real solo ride outside India. THE BIKE: My previous interaction with the KTM guys helped a lot. They were very supportive about the whole ride and even went a step ahead and decided to give me the new 990 SMT for this week long trip. I couldnt have asked for me! THE TRIP BEGINS: 28th August: Mumbai - Zurich - Salzburg - Mattighofen - mondsee st. gilgen strobl - postlam rigaus golling bischofshofen dienten lend zell am see : 195km Waiting at the Zurich airport in the morning for my connecting flight to Salzburg My breakfast Yes - thats a nice sign of things to come Finally, its time to continue Before starting my trip, i had requested my seat to be on the right so that i could have a glimpse of the Alps Looking around for the Alps Finally spotted them - yuppy! When i landed in Salzburg, it took just around 10 minutes for me to see the orange KTM logo - thanks to Martin who was kind enough to have come to pick me up. We straight away left for the KTM factory, Mattighofen, around 30min away. On the way, we stopped at a fuel pump to pick up something that helped me immensely - a road map :) Fifteen mins later, we were there - a line up of KTM bikes including the sexy RC8 had me excited and then i saw it - the machine that would be my companion for the next one week - the beautiful SMT 990. The KTM guys were nice enough to have three saddle bags and a tank bag ready for me. Yes, it took me a good twenty mins to put all my clothing in them and start rolling This was it - the time had come. After months of planning, i was finally ready to hit the European highways, the Alpine curves and experience something completely different.... TO BE CONTINUED... |

I had ridden and driven on the wrong side of the road on earlier occasions and hence it didnt take me long before getting used to the road rules here - completely opposite to what you have here in India. Yes, i was a little nervous and the first thing i did was get myself the ten day Austrian road tax sticker.
My plan for the day was to hit Zell Am See for the night. Martin had told me of a few good places to ride thru this day and the map made things easier for me. Within minutes, i couldnt help but stop for a photo-op Clear skies and no hills? Yes, i was looking around for the Alps to start. And hence, i carried on... Riding in Europe, specially this part can be fun as well as boring. Fear of speeding made me stick to the limit but at the same time, the inviting longish curves and the handling of the bike meant i was grinning inside my lid. Soon, i reached Mondsee lake and stopped for, yes, pictures! The plan was to continue to Strobl, from where i would take a right through a private toll road and visit Postlam, from where i would get my first real good view of the Alps and boy was i loving this road... There was hardly any traffic but soon i started coming across bikers - yes, there are more bikers on some roads than cars / vans / SUVs.. Postlam wasnt more than a small stop for tourists, but due to its height, the views were amazing. See for yourself.. After taking endless pictures and using my zoom lens to the max, i carried on, coming down from Postam and taking the small road to Rigaus. Enroute, clicked some more snaps At Bischofshofen, i took the 164 to Dienten and then a right to Zell Am See via Lend. I also came across my first mountain pass of the trip, though at just 553 meters above mean sea level, it was a little disappointing Hotels in this part of the world look very very pretty I continued ahead. I started feeling hungry and then came across a small resting area by the side of the road - a perfect place to grab a bite and also enjoy the bikers passing by Bikers and cattle can be found in abundance in Europe More views of the scenery around Thats a sweeet house! Finally after 195km, i reached Zell Am See. I had been to this lake side town on two occasions earlier. It did take me a good half hour to find a decent and cheap place for the night and finally when i found it, it was worth it. 39 Euros for bed and breakfast with my own balcony seemed worth it. I walked to the nearby market and go myself a sandwich and a bottle of Ice tea for dinner. Also made calls back home and visited the lake It started raining by the time i was back in my room - my biggest fear of the trip The rain - view from my balcony! View from the other window I finally hit the bed at 8pm local time wondering how the day ahead would be in rains.... TO BE CONTINUED |

DAY 2: Zell Am See-Mittersill-Lienz-Toblach-Brunico-Arabba: 250km (including Arabba-Corvara-Arabba at night)
My night at Haus Wilhelmina was quite cosy. However, outside, things were different. It was still raining and i really didnt know what was in store for me today. I was the first one to come down to the breakfast room but didnt feel like waiting for others as I wanted to get onto the road asap. Breakfast: After having a combination of hot coffee, toast with salamis, i went out to see how the weather was. Next to my bike were parked two more motorcycles - later met the chaps who were also staying in the same place While i was attaching the saddle bags to the bike, a couple happened to take notice of me. They were Bibleer and Sylvie Paquet, who were staying in another hotel in the city and had come here for breakfast. They too were on a bike and we chatted for a while about my trip plans 39 Euros for this place was a great deal It was still drizzling when i hit the road. I was really hoping the plastic bags in the saddle bags would hold on and so would my jacket and boot too. At places, the drizzle would almost slow down into very fine droplets, but this lasted only for a few moments Bikers were a common sight today - The Gixxer does look sexy Rains also meant that the clouds were hugging the hills around I decided to keep riding but soon, i started gaining altitude. Light drizzle turned into rain and suddenly, i felt cold water hitting my feet! Damn! The boots had given up - but in anycase, these werent really meant for touring. A line-up of tunnels started and it became increasingly difficult for me to keep riding in the heavy rain. The good thing about tunnels was that these were a little warm :) I didnt know if the plastic bags were working fine and desperately looked around for shelter. Finally after passing like 4-5 tunnels, I saw a place probably meant for tourists to take rest (loo / seats / water etc). I spent an hour here - waiting for the rains to slow down, munching on dry fruits for warmth and energy. Finally when the rains slowed down, and at around 11:30am, i decided to keep moving. The fuel light came on at around 220-225km mark and i filled up at the first station : 18.02 Euros for 16.6 Liters - fuel for sure is expensive in this part of the world. The skies cleared up for a while and i couldnt resist stopping for a few pics.. Leaving the storm behind The rains and frequent pic stops meant i was getting a bit late. But at around 1:30pm, it started pouring cats and dogs and i immediately took shelter in a bus stop and so did a couple of other bikers too Twenty mins later, i decided to move on with the rain gods still playing with me. By now, i was almost went to the bone and was shivering inside my riding gear. Half hour later, god seemed to take mercy on me and and as i rode down to Brunico, temperatures started rising. My right wrist finally was let loose for a while and it was surprising to see the SMT delivering so much fun on these kinda roads. The fast ride and warm weather helped dry me up a bit. I got lost for a while in Brunico and had no idea of the road to Arabba (via Corvara). So much so that i ended up taking a very small mountain road. I noticed a couple of hikers on the road and stopped to ask directions. Yes, i was going the wrong way and thanked them for help. However, as i was turning the bike around on the narrow and steep road, she stalled. Damn! With all that luggage, it was almost impossible for me to keep the SMT from falling off. Somehow i did manage and rode back to the main town. After asking two more people, i finally found the right road. Soon, i was in Corvara, a small cute hill town and after passing it, stopped for a pic and food break. Ofcourse, that a self timer shot This place where i stopped was simply lovely. I got a birds eye view of the Corvara town below and the numerous hair pin bends meant most bikers revved a lot in the first two gear - pure music to ears.. More pics of this place Corvara town below The curves The ride after this was simply amazing. The SMT is a hoot around bends and curves. Wringing the throttle in 1st had the front wheel going airborne very easily. The short gearing meant acceleration was fantastic and its supermotard DNA made it super fun around the gentle as well as tight corners. I was enjoying the bike so much that i almost zipped past my 2nd pass of the trip without noticing it.. Arabba was just a few km more from here. I had already reserved Hotel Mesdi via Email and straight away headed there. The room was super cosy and the five lamp shades helped me dry my clothes After a while, i decided to hit the market. Arabba is a small town that is often considering the gateway to the superb Dolomites (Italian Alps).. There was some kind of band in the city that day.. The band was loud, but these machines were louder I feel in love with these kind of buildings and paintings on the wall It was 13degrees in the evening.. and probably 8-9 at night At i said earlier, Arabba is the preferred gateway to the Alpine roads nearby.. My hotel When i got back to the room, i noticed that the camera battery was running out. And then it struck me - i had forgotten the universal electric socket pin back in India. It was almost 6pm and i rushed to the receptionist who told me that they didnt have a socket that fitted my charger's pin. Damn.. the shops in the city too didnt have a socket that i wanted. I had no option but to ride back to Corvara (around 15km) and try my luck before the shops closed down. So much was the rush that i forgot to pick up my jacket and rode 30km in the evening, shivering all the way - but in the end, the ride was worth it as i found the right socket but at a price that was no less than ten times that of a similar socket in India!! By 8, i was back in the hotel, in time for the dinner... i wasnt really liking the bland European food, however, the desert with wild berries was finger lickin good.. My room Tomorrow would be the day of mountain passes.. how many would i conquer? 10? 12? 14? Read on....

Thanks fellas
30th August : DAY3: ARABBA - CORVARA via the long way round. No of passes: 11 Total km ridden: 275km Name of the passes (in order of doing them) 1. Pordio pass 2. Fedaia pass 3. Pellegrino pass 4. Valles pass 5. Rolle pass 6. Cereda pass 7. Duran pass 8. Staulanza pass 9. Giau pass 10. Falzarego pass 11. Valparola pass I had initially planned to stay two nights in Arabba but something made me change my mind. Before sleeping the previous night, i spent around an hour on the map, chalking out a route for today. This would be the day of the passes for me. I started off with the Pordio pass. The views enroute were simply majestic - i could see snow peaks in the distant horizon the weather was a little cold for riding. I also had a mild headache and popped a tablet for precaution. Here are some shots of the ride to Pordio Enroute Pordio The pass itself At the top with other bikes I stopped at the first curve on the other side and got a shot of a cop! The views from this side of the pass were even better I continued ahead towards Moena but not before taking a detour at Canazei to visit the famous Passo di Fedaia which is more or less based around a water dam. There were less bikers on this route than on Pordio and the views once on the top were much better than i had expected. See for yourself A couple of bikers checking out the SMT I rode on the small stone road (above the Dam waters) to the other side for this And this The pass... By around 11:30am, i started back for Canazei and once there i filled up the bike. Fuel in Italy was more expensive than Austria (around 1.3 euros per litre) but the bike was returning around 17-18kmpl - which is impressive for such an engine My next pass would be Passo di Pellegrino - for this i rode to Moena first and then took a left from there. The road to Pellegrino was okish but on the other side of the pass, the hairpin curves were a delight - for me as well as the bike Pellegrino pass Next pass on my planned route was Passo di Valles. For this i took a right at Falcade. The number of bikers today were a lot on the road, and it was fun racing / keeping up with the faster bikes on numerous occasions. Valles pass Next was Rolle pass and the roads to this pass were better - much more scenic than the previous few passes. A km before reaching the top, i parked the on the side and took some shots of bikers passing by Bikers riding to Rolle pass Thats a sweet car! The pass itself.. Biking brotherhood It was almost 1:30pm by the time i continued my ride ahead. It was downhill ride to Siror where while passing through the town, i happened to notice a classic bike model made out of junk metal. This is a very common norm here to attract bikers to come and have meals in cafes / restaurants. I was as it is feeling hungry and decided to hit this cafe which was located in a peaceful area of the small town overlooking the main road. The place My lunch A few km after Siror came my sixth pass of the day - Passo di Cereda. The place itself wasnt very special so i just clicked a pic and carried on Cereda pass The ride to the seventh pass (Duran) today had some terrific views. At this particular place i spent around 20min clicking away photographs Duran pass Staulanza Pass popped out of nowhere! The last few passes had been very boring. However, the next one, the ninth for the day, the Giau pass has to be the most scenic one for this day. The pass A few meters after the pass I spent around half an hour here, sitting by the side of the road, enjoying the views of the roads in the valley and a city in the distant horizon. Also made full use of my zoom lens for pictures like this one By the time i left this the Giau pass, it was already 6pm. I had initially planned to stay the night in Cortina which was around 18-20km from here. I reached there pretty fast but this big town had a lot of traffic this day it seemed. I didnt know where to stop and ask for hotels and even if i saw one, there wasnt any good parking around. In the end, i managed to stop by at three hotels - 2 were expensive, and one was full. I somehow felt like riding ahead and staying the night at Corvara but that would involve another 34-36km, plus two passes too. After filling in some fuel, i gave this idea a shot and decided to leave this town asap. I rode fast, as it was getting dark (and colder too). Traffic was getting sparse on the road and for the first time, i really pushed the bike a lot around the long sweeping curves and enjoyed every bit of it and soon hit Falzarego pass Passo di Falzarego Minutes later, the second one and the eleventh pass of the day for me, Passo di Valparola came up - the sun was setting down in this side and hence it was relatively brighter here It was a downhill ride to Stern, from where i took a left to Corvara. I had done a lot of riding today, 275km to be precise and was quite tired by now. By the time i hit Corvara, I decided to stay at the first decent hotel which came up immediately. I happened to see a "Bikers welcome" banner on the right and that was it. I parked the bike and went in. Room with dinner and breakfast for 48 Euros seemed like a very good deal. In the next ten minutes, i was in my room's bathroom taking a much deserved hot shower with memories of today's scenic ride etched in my heart..

DAY 4 : Corvara Grodner pass / Passo Gardena Passo Sella Passo Costalunga Bozen / Bolzano Passo Mendola Cles Passo di Tonale Passo di Gavia Bormio Passo Foscagno Passo Eira - Livigno
Here is a link on GOOGLE MAPS - Corvara BZ, Italy to Livigno SO, Italy - Google Maps After a good nights sleep, I was all fresh for another day ahead, a day of sorts. The first thing I did was fill up the bike, from a pump just a few meters from the hotel. Two Harley riders had just filled up before me, gearing up for their ride ahead. It is places like these where the full potential of bikes like the Harley lies. I filled up 14.92litres of petrol for 20 Euros (yes, thats like 1200 rupees!) and carried on for the first pass of the day, Grodner or Gardena, just nine kilometers away. The place where I stayed - La Baita The Bikers welcome sign outside my hotel Gardena pass The pass had nothing to offer so I continued ahead for Sella pass. Suddenly I was in the sun shadow area and it became quite chilly. I loved riding on the narrow road with a huge mountain on the left and a drop on the right. The final few kilometers to Sella saw me riding in a lot of traffic. After taking snaps of the board, I parked my bike on the right. Two more bikers joined and as usual talks started about the SMT and me riding in this part of the world. The views from where we were standing were awesome, however with lot of traffic I decided to ride ahead. Costalunga came and went with nothing much to offer. I was now riding downhill to the big town of Bozen or Bolzano. Temperatures started rising and once in the city, in slow moving traffic, I was almost sweating inside. Add to it that it took me a while finding the right road to Mendola pass meant I started getting irritated. I had to ride a lot inside the city in start stop traffic and trust me, it was quite warm. However once on the right road to Mendola, I started ripping. The good thing in these areas is that there are hardly any cops around for a check on speeding. What you have instead are big signs which show what speeds you are doing. The guilt within makes you slow down. Perfect. I was thirsty but didnt want to stop until I was back in the hills. And once there, I stopped for these views A little pass, Mendola, at 1363 came but was in the middle of a small city. I decided to take the pic from a distance and carried on. Finally bypassing little sleepy towns, I was in the middle of fruit farms like these Tonale pass at 1884 was much better with good views However it was the Gavia that I was looking forward to ride to. Traffic became as I was nearing the pass good for me! Remember this car on Day3? This was the reason why there were far less bikers and cars on the road today. The road to Gavia is quite narrow with numerous hair pin bends, blind curves etc. Europeans arent really used to such roads and many a times I had bikers coming my way, riding almost in my lane for fear of going off in to the deep valley on the other side! However, being used to such roads in India meant I was cool with riding here. Plus as the altitude went up, the hills around, with less vegetation started reminding me of the Himalayas! Infact, this was also the only stretch I came across with less than perfect roads little potholes in abundance. Stopping off the road for some views A few kilometers before Gavia pass, I saw this lake on the left side, down in the valley. It involved riding off the road for a km. Now, how could I resist this. Off I went, riding on the pegs. Once there, I saw a KTM off-roader parked on the side, next to a huge stone. And then I saw them a couple lay there, in each others arms! Great! I acted as if I didnt see them, parked my bike next to the lake, took a few shots and carried on back to the road. Enroute Gavia, there were numerous old styled tunnels with no lights. Infact, these were pretty cold and gave an indication of the high altitude. Gavia pass at 2652 meters was well worth it. While riding to Gavia, I had overtaken these two beauties, which were driven all the way from Britain. Thumps up! A small lake, meters from the Gavia pass. From here, I rode non-stop to just before Foscagno for these views. The pass, two km from the previous stop Another little pass Finally I was at my destination Livigno. This city, on the border of Italy and Switzerland is known for its zero taxes. Yes, that means fuel is cheaper, so are items like chocolates / perfumes / Booze! I filled up 16.65 litres of fuel for just 15 Euros - thats 0.90 Euros cents per litre as against 1.34 i payed in the morning! The place seemed very cute and it took me just ten minutes to find a decent place for the night for 40 Euros. Another reason why I choose this hotel was the owners bike Later in the evening I went around shopping, getting gifts for people back home and ofcourse myself. The best perfume I have used till date Issey Miyake for men . Infact there was some kind of scheme running wherein shopping for 150 Euros entitled you to a free ten Euro coupon. Damn, these credit cards really tempt u it did happen! Dinner was a big Pizza I got packed from the market for 6.5 Euros. Spotted this during my evening walk |

Everyone is always looking for ways to be more organized, and it can be hard to find a home for some items, no matter how put together your home is. But a simple pegboard like this can help keep rooms clean, and items in plain sight and within reach when needed. Your wall never has to be marred by miscalculated nail holes or markings.
Tools and Materials
Circular saw or jigsaw (optional)
Satin or semigloss paint
Hanging hardware: 2 D-rings
Pegboard hardware and hook holders
Pegboard Organizer How-To
1. Begin with a piece of pegboard. Because pegboard usually comes in large sheets, either get the board cut to fit inside your frame where you buy it, or use a circular saw or a jigsaw to cut the pegboard to size at home.
2. Paint pegboard with satin or semigloss paint in a color of your choice. Let dry overnight.
3. Insert the painted pegboard into the frame and secure.
4. Attach the hanging hardware -- the two D-rings -- to the back of the frame to hang pegboard on wall.
5. Thread elastic horizontally through holes in the pegboard, pull tightly, and knot in back to form rows in which to hang and organize papers.
6. Add pegboard hardware and hook holders to the front side of board to hold your supplies. Be sure to snap the pegboard hook holders in completely to keep the hardware from wobbling. Everything on the pegboard is removable and adjustable, which makes changes or updates easy.

We have a wall of peg-board in the garage, and it works GREAT.

A great alternative that is incredibly strong and just as affordable are available at www.holeyrail.com Being made from steel, it is ideal for heavier tools. Check out the video on their website. Much easier to install and a great product.

would have been nice if you would have told where to get the pegboard hokes and the peglocks

Thanks Jezibel for the link to your Etsy shop -- I'm not so much of a DIYer - so this is great!

I have been thinking of modifying something just like this to hang all my costume jewellry in my bathroom - never thought of the elastics though-would be perfect for small hanging earings!

I make custom painted pegboard organizers at www.junkyardjezibel.etsy.com. Gather ideas for your own or have me create one for you.

How do you attach the D-rings? Thanks, Gretchen

I have a pegboard that I use for my sewing. Cut dowels at differant leights. I start at the top with the spools of thread, colors to geather Bobbinsnext to each color. Then space wider to fit measuring devices. Rulers ,triangles Etc.
Then lower longer dowels to hold the 6000 foot thread for my Quilting machine. Colors and bobbins togeather. Also holds your sissors. etc. works really well if you have limited space as I do. -

Drawing an outline around the tools with a marker helps keep tools organized. You can tell at a glance where they go and if one is missing. My father had a peg board organizer over his tool bench and it was easy for everyone in the family to know where to put hiis tools as a result they were always organized.

Don't bother painting pegboard panels like Martha did, I found a really nice site that sells pegboard panels in tons of stock colors. Check out www.azardisplays.com

I just got my pegboards up in my kitchen and I am SO pleased, both with the way they look and with the way they have expanded my kitchen ten-fold! I have used shelves, for the most part, and put my spices and utensils over the stove. That pegboard is 32" X 48" and has three shelves. The other pegboard is 64" X 48" and has many shelves of varying widths and lengths holding all of the chickens I have collected throughout the years. One of the shelves is an old drawer.

We put 4x8 foot peg board panels along one complete side of our son's room when he was about 9 and bought him multiple shelves, hooks, pegs, boxes, etc. He arranged and rearranged his collectables and memories for over 10 years! The board grew with him through all of high school and he has a portable one now in college. Inexpensive way to help children be creative and yet organized.

I love this peg board I use it in my sewing room and keep my scissors , marking pens etc.

Fears that mystery contrails over Grimsby were air crash prove unfounded
Posted: January 26, 2013
|HAVE you seen strange contrails in the skies over Grimsby?
This picture was taken by a reader near the Oasis Wintringham Academy yesterday morning and appears to show a contrail stretching straight across the sky, then starting to peter out, before suddenly dropping to the ground.
As posted on www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk, the woman, who did not wish to be named, said: "I hadn't seen it until the school bus driver pointed it out. It just drops out of the sky.
"It must be over Mablethorpe way. We wondered if there had been a plane crash and I was telling the teachers nearby to put the TV on, but there was nothing about it.
"At the bottom of the trail, there was a strange, orange glow and I could see some black smoke.
"We also saw a smaller plane flying towards it, then it suddenly swung around and went back the other way. It's really strange."
However, fears she had witnessed the aftermath of a disaster luckily proved to be unfounded.
After being sent the picture by the Grimsby Telegraph, a spokesman for the Met Office said: "Condensation trails only occur high in the atmosphere. Today the aircraft would have to be above 29,000ft.
"As the aircraft moves away from the viewer it 'appears' to be heading closer and closer to the ground, but it is still at the same height above the ground. It is just from the viewer's perspective that it appears to be falling.
"The contrail in the picture has probably been there for a little while, and the strong winds at high level will distort the trail as well."
Reader Pat Copley also got in touch to say she had seen the trails, but that there was "nothing sinister" about it.
She said: "Where we live we have open views across the countryside and the orange glow the lady said she saw was the sun.
"I was also watching the trails in the sky this morning. I will agree there was a lot more than usual, but we also could see the planes, although they were very high."
Commenting online, davel60Friday, added: "An aircraft is travelling from left to right. It then changes direction, flying away from the viewer towards the rising sun. Also, I'm not so sure these trails are a new thing.
"There are lots of photographs and film from the Second World War of aircraft producing these trails, but then, the X-Files didn't exist then, not with Mulder on the case. No one to investigate then."

Phoenix Suns
Shannon Brown's performance a bright spot for the Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have certainly had their fair share of struggles this season, mainly they've had trouble getting consistent, productive performances out of their players.
One Sun who could be deemed an exception is Shannon Brown. The 27-year-old has continually provided impressive efforts, and exemplary shot selection, even during the team's lowly seven-game losing streak.
"I think he does a phenomenal job at the end of shot clocks," Suns' color analyst Tim Kempton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Thursday. "He never puts his teammates at a disadvantage by giving them the ball as the shot clock is running down. He understands the situation and it may not be the greatest shot but at least it's a shot."
Kempton is quite high on Brown and believes he is playing quality basketball for the Suns right now.
"Shannon Brown, athletic enough to burn guys down off the dribble, score and take it to the basket and we've seen his shooting abilities," Kempton said. "So I think his shot selection within the game framework is absolutely dead on. I think he's playing absolutely very, very good this year."
The Suns' guard is averaging 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 26 minutes this year.

Grandfathers' illnesses prompt teenager's cancer mission
PUBLISHED: 26 Mar 2014 04:35:27 | UPDATED: 11 Jun 2014 08:10:09PUBLISHED: 26 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 26 Mar 2014Flanked by his family and NSW Governor Marie Bashir, Lachlan Campbell holds his award for his effort to combat prostate cancer.
Jill Margo
Her Excellency Marie Bashir was moved almost to tears at Government House in Sydney last week as she handed an award to a youth from country NSW.
His name was Lachlan and she directed him to an original portrait of his namesake hanging in the foyer.
Wearing a red ceremonial jacket, governor Lachlan Macquarie watches over all who enter the receptions rooms at Government House.
This youth had achieved something noteworthy and Bashir, Governor of NSW, said he should be inspired by his namesake, who had been responsible for many of Australia's wonderful values such as "a fair go".
Lachlan Campbell had travelled to Sydney with his family from the small country town of Manildra in the central west of NSW. They had come at the invitation of The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Bashir is patron of the foundation and the evening was designed to thank and award those who had done exceptional work for prostate cancer.
For the past 10 years, Lachlan's grandfather Ian has been living with prostate cancer. He's had treatment but it has changed him. "Because of the side effects, he is no longer the same person," said Lachlan.
Then two years ago, his other grandfather, Thomas, died of prostate cancer.
Lachlan was 14 and felt "enough was enough". The death was a turning point. "We were very sad. It crushed our family because we had looked up to him so much."
Lachlan wanted to raise awareness about this cancer and some money for research "so we could stop other families feeling the pain that we felt".
He aimed to raise $1000 in Manildra , which has a population of 500.
But with organisation and his family's help, he raised $8000, the bulk from their own town but some from nearby Orange and Parkes. He created a website, organised a golf day, a trivia night and he, his parents and his brother shaved their heads. His sister streaked her hair blue.
At each event he spoke about prostate cancer and why funds were needed. These events required much organisation and demonstrated "how much organisation pays off."
It also demonstrated how generous people can be.
An ambitious young man, he holds a black belt in karate and aspires to be an orthopaedic surgeon with a focus on biomedical engineering.

Alaska Airlines Suffers From Accounting Rules
by AccountingWeb on
printer friendly
Due to a Securities and Exchange Commission [1] change in accounting for frequent flyer mileage, the parent company of Alaska Airlines [2] will suffer a cumulative adjustment of $56.9 million for the years prior to December 1999.
As a result of this change, the troubled airline - known as the 10th-largest carrier in the United States, will see an increase of $1.7 million in the first quarter 2000 loss.
The accounting change calls for deferring recognition of a part of the revenue from the sale of mileage credits until passengers redeem the miles. Other airlines also have adopted the rules.
A spokesperson for the airlines said the changes are consistent with industry standards and that the financial aspects of its mileage program are strong.

(Yes, i do realize that by accident i named the title with "Sell Runes" which actually is suppose to be "Combine Runes", sorry for the mistake, but i don't know how to fix it...) Ok, so we all know about the cool feature League of Legends has to offer with Runes which can give some amazing advantages over enemies IF used properly.. They also decided to provide a Rune combining System to allow user's to Combine runes to produce the same (or better) runes of a random type. Some of us have wondered that massing smaller runes to produce greater ones will have a very positive effect while others (such as me) don't enjoy the random generated rune system and would rather have that nice 100% chance of getting the runes we desire. Listed below are Several Cases which show how in each aspect they can be positive of negative... Some of the least expensive runes in the store right now are worth 15 IP. Ex: Lesser Mark of Strength +0.18 Dmg . If we theoretically bought 5 of the same kind and then combined them together we will then generate a random Tier 2 rune. At the total cost of 15 x 5 = 75 IP WHICH is pretty good. Considering that the normal cost of tier 2 runes is approx ~165 IP BECAUSE we want to know it's EFFECTIVENESS we will use a total of 75 x 2 = 150 IP points to create tier 2 runes. (Which is the near the same value as buying directly from the store a tier 2 rune for 165 IP) Also we can consider the fact that if we produce two random tier 2 runes we can combine those two further to obtain another random tier 2 rune. So in the end, using 150 IP you have 3 chances of getting a Specific tier 2 Rune using collectivly tier 1 Runes with a value of 15 IP. OR you can use 165 IP to have a 100% Chance to obtain a tier 2 Rune for 165 IP. The total possibilities of getting a rune are dependent on how many different types of runes there are and what you want. The different Runes are HP Reg Hp Mana Mana Reg Armor Magic Resistance Damage Ability Power Armor Penetration Magic Penetration Dodge Rate Critical Strike Rate Crititcal Strike Damage Ability Cooldown Which gives us a total of 14 different possibilities... Because we have 3 chances of getting a specific rune of tier 2 from the possibilities of 14 different kinds, that leaves us with a ~21.4% chance to get the specific rune we wanted. Tier 2: 21.4% Chance to get a specific tier 2 Rune you desire for 150 OR 100% Chance to get a specific tier 2 Rune you desire for ~165 IP kinda more reliable to just buy the Rune from the shop eh? NOW, lets use Tier 3 Runes. If we did this 5 times, and tried to get a tier 3 Rune we would use 375 IP to get a randomly generated rune of Tier 3. The least expensive tier 3 runes are 205 Ip, and the most expensive are around 2050. Each batch of tier 1 runes of 15 Ip (each batch costing us 15 x 5 x 5 = 375) would produce randomly a Tier 3 Rune. If we decided to compare this cost with that of 2050 IP then a little bit more math is going to be involved.... The closest numbers 2050 can be divided by 375 are 5 and 6. 5 x 375 = 1875 6 x 375 = 2250 Using 1875 Ip we could theoretically create 5 Random Tier 3 Runes, which could create another 2 extra Tier 3 Runes (with one remaining) which could create and extra 1 tier, which can then combine finally with the last remaining tier 3 Rune, giving us a total of 9 chances to obtain a specific Tier 3 Rune. Using 2250 Ip we could theoretically make 6 Random Tier 3 Runes which could create another 3 extra Tier 3 Runes, which could create an extra tier 3 Rune (with one remaining) allowing that one to combine with the last remaining tier 3 Runes to give a total of 11 Chances to obtain a specific Rune we desire for 2250 IP (I hope im not confusing you too much!) The probabilities of each one will then be... Tier 3 Runes: 64.3% Chance to obtain a specific Tier 3 for 1875 IP OR 78.6% Chance to obtain a specific Tier 3 Rune for 2250 IP OR 100% Chance to obtain a specific Tier 3 Rune (from the store) for 205-2050 IP So in the end, it doesn't seem like Rune combining is even that great...HOWEVER, please realize that there are certain "special" runes which can only be obtained from the Rune combining system. So it isn't "completely" useless... Also, note that most people don't mass one specific type of rune, some people might chose from 3 specific Rune such as, Critical Strike, Critical Damage and Attack Speed (mostly because there are caps on these values to stop you from becoming Chuck Norris) so the randomizing does help allow you to become more powerful in different area's. Also note that I did NOT specify anything on the Rune colors. I decided to keep this variable out of place because it would complicate things further. For my suggestions here is what i recommend. -Use Rune Combining only for Tier 3 Runes. (and if it exists Tier 4 Runes , possible they might make an update on this..) -If you filling up one of the last spots in your Rune Book I STRONGLY suggest that you do not use the Rune combining system I hope you enjoyed this guide everyone! Thanks for reading it! P.s. Please tell me if i had made any mathematical errors and i will correct them A.S.A.P.
Senior Wrenchman
How did you calculate your chance to obtain a specific Tear 3 rune? It seems like those probabilities are a bit high. There are 87 possible runes at Tier 3 that are available. So when you do a 6 Tier 2 rune combination you have a 1/87 chance to get a specific rune. Taking your 2250 IP example, you have 6 chances or an addative probability of (1/87)*6 = .0689 or a 6.9% chance to get a specific rune. If you didn't get the rune you wanted in that case, you would then have a 1/85 chance at a 2nd combination (theoretically if you can't reduplicate the same runes you put in) for your last 5 combinations giving you (1/85)*5 = .0588 or 5.9% chance to get a specific rune. So your total overall probability of obtaining one specific rune is 12.8% There's also the possibility that you're looking for multiple runes which changes your probabilities a bit, but that's variable between individuals. On the value side, there's also serious consideration for the probabilities of getting the different types/values of Tier 3 Runes. As you pointed out, an 1800 IP cost range for Tier 3's can cause some pretty significant valuation changes depending on what you land.
wut happens when u combine tier 3 runes?
And wut about the limited edition christmas runes?
Hmm... I would think the most useful aspect of the cominber is the fact that you can buy tier 2 runes, use them for a while/test out a champion, then trade them in for tier 3 runes once you're a bit more advanced.

Problem I found is that they don't beleve that you will, at least with my younger sister that seemed to be the case. So all I can advise is if you say you will call the police and they don't shape up, DO IT. As long as the reason is valid of course. At least then they will know you mean what you say, and with some luck a brush with the law will. Though There is that chance that they will harbour some resentment for it. Teens never realise that you only want whats best for them and think that we don't understand because we can't possably of been teenagers ourselves. For example said sister claimed that been a teen and the school in question had completely changed dramaticaly to the point that I didn't know what I was talking about in the four months since I'd left.

How Will TripAdvisor (TRIP) Stock Be Affected By This Coverage?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TripAdvisor
(TRIP - Get Report) shares were upgraded to "equal weight" from "underweight" by analysts at Evercore Partners
(EVR - Get Report) on Friday while raising its price target to $110 from $85.
The upgraded outlook stems from what the firm sees as a shift in the online travel industry following signs that Google
(GOOG) has stepped up its efforts in that space.
TripAdvisor shares are flat in pre-market trading after closing trading yesterday flat at $98.29.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates TRIPADVISOR INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate TRIPADVISOR INC (TRIP) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 30.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 37.02% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Internet & Catalog Retail industry average. The net income increased by 1.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $66.99 million to $68.00 million.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.34, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Despite the fact that TRIP's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 2.13 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Internet & Catalog Retail industry and the overall market, TRIPADVISOR INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Sir Ian McKellan to Return for The Hobbit?
