So I've been brainstorming a character that is very deceptive, and relies on his deception to manipulate his enemies. I envison this champion being a support type.
I haven't ironed out which abiliy, on which button, but here's the general gist. This is an idea that I think will benefit more from sharing and letting mature with the community.
So basically I picture a champion that is from another dimension, perhaps with a ambiguous gender, whatever appearance would lend to the fact that he's a shape shifter.
The shape shifting idea is key.
Basically, this support champ would have fairly low ratios, not being able to do too much damage himself. Abiltiy ideas:
1. The core essence of this character is his shape shifting. He can take on the appearance of anyone on his team. I think being able to take on the enemy's look, and color, would be too strong, so I've limited this to aking on the appearance of teammates only. While "disguise" as a teammate, you look identical to them, skin and all. You're visible items to the enemy will also look like the person you're disguised as-- otherwise anyone with a brain would instantly recognize the fake. Damage dealt to you while disguised as someone heals the player that you're disguised as for a percent of, if not all of, the damage dealt to you.
2. Seeing as how you will be soaking up damage, his passive should be some sort of % armor and MR gain while disguised, just so he isn't instantly killed. He should have tankier base stats that a squishy support.
3. As a form of escape, I'm fond of a technique that let's you deceptively mislead your opponent in a direction that you haven't actually gone. For this to work, I picture an ability where you stealth for like 3-4 seconds, and a clone of your character, and whoever you were disguised as continues walking in the direction you were headed when you used the ability for like 2 seconds or so. Picture Wukng be able to se decoy while moving, in such a way that there's no way you can tell that he decoyed, and the decoy continues moving for like 2 seconds in he direction you were previously headed at the start of the ability.
Not sure what to do for an ult..
I don't think a champ like these needs any CC, especially not any hard CC. Perhaps a slow?
You might want to know the practical use of this, well here goes:
*** Mindgames. This is all about manipulating your enemies, striking fear into them. In reality, you don't do much damage at all, but they don't know if you're the changling or the real champ, so they have reason to be scared. You could scare enemies off of your ADC, by coming in disguised as a fed Xin, or Tryn, they will likely back off, for fear of the damage. You could disguise as Ali, and people will fear a push, or scary gank. This fearis what this champ relies on to be successful. You could hide in a bush with your ADC, take on the disgusie of your jungler, and step out of the bush and back into it. This will scare bottom lane into thinking there are three of you in the bush, when there are really only two.
When disguised, your taunts, and auto-attack animatons match your disguises. As such, if you disguise as a ranged character, you take on their ranged. However, his AA should be really weak so to not encourage abusing his shifting ways.
I have more to ad to this, but I have to go at the moment. Thoughts on how this idea can be refined? Or is this trash?
Part of this concept comes from TF2 Spy, my most beloved class in any shooter evr.
Thanks guys.

Enter a Doctor of Physic and a Waiting-Gentlewoman
I have two nights watched with you, but can perceive include("$IP_TMPL_DIR/pretitle.php");?>
I have two nights watched with you, but can perceive no truth in your report. When was it she last walked?
Since his majesty went into the field, I have seen her rise from her bed, throw her night-gown upon her, unlock her closet, take forth paper, fold it, write upon't, read it, afterwards seal it, and again return to bed; yet all this while in a most fast sleep.
A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of watching! In this slumbery agitation, besides her walking and other actual performances, what, at any time, have you heard her say?
That, sir, which I will not report after her.
You may to me: and 'tis most meet you should.
Neither to you nor any one; having no witness to confirm my speech.
Enter Lady Macbeth, with a taper
Lo you, here she comes! This is her very guise; and, upon my life, fast asleep. Observe her; stand close.
How came she by that light?
Why, it stood by her: she has light by her continually; 'tis her command.
You see, her eyes are open.
Ay, but their sense is shut.
What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.
It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus washing her hands: I have known her continue in this a quarter of an hour.
Yet here's a spot.
Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.
Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.
Do you mark that?
The thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?— What, will these hands ne'er be clean?—No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with this starting.
Go to, go to; you have known what you should not.
She has spoke what she should not, I am sure of that: heaven knows what she has known.
Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!
What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.
I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the dignity of the whole body.
Well, well, well,—
Pray God it be, sir.
This disease is beyond my practise: yet I have known those which have walked in their sleep who have died holily in their beds.
Wash your hands, put on your nightgown; look not so pale.—I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried; he cannot come out on's grave.
Even so?
To bed, to bed! there's knocking at the gate: come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's done cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!
Will she go now to bed?
Foul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets: More needs she the divine than the physician. God, God forgive us all! Look after her; Remove from her the means of all annoyance, And still keep eyes upon her. So, good night: My mind she has mated, and amazed my sight. I think, but dare not speak.
Good night, good doctor.

Screw in the Tire - 2014 BMW 328i xDrive Gran Turismo Long-Term Road Test
We picked up a screw in the Pirelli run-flat tire of our 2014 BMW 328i xDrive Gran Turismo.
misterfusion Posts: 218
Ugh...I'm dealing with a slow leak that I took to my (normally reliable) local tire shop, and they made it into a marginally-slower-leak. But at least my OEM tire is a cheapo non-runflat that I can replace for maybe $120 if I really need to. Oh, and I can put on a spare if I get into real trouble.

tomnvp1 Posts: 4
Same story here. Slow leak, couldn't find a replacement anywhere. Had to drive 300 miles over the weekend so took it to the dealer and they gave me a loaner for 3 days. All for a flat tire! But no complaints about the service. NOTE - there's a 1-year road hazard policy on the tires, so replacement was free!
bassracerx Posts: 145
i would ditch run flats in a heartbeat probably as soon as i drove it off the lot but i probably would not buy a vehicle without a full size spare or at least a doughnut sorry bmw but trying to increase fuel efficiency or space by ditching a spare is just about the dumbest idea i have ever heard.

The concept is every bit as ridiculous as "Booty Sweat," the energy drink in Tropic Thunder that lampoons it. Just because Nelly told the public that Pimp Juice has nothing to do with pimps, it still sounds like a Blaxploitation porn title. If AM released Man Juice, would you buy it? No, that sounds disgusting. Something tells me Nelly laughs every time he sees someone drinking his juice.

Israeli and Palestinian youth musicians are launching a concert tour to build trust between our communities. We need your help! Read more
Israeli and Palestinian youth musicians are launching a concert tour to build trust between our communities. We need your help!
About this project
Heartbeat "the Mic Is Stronger " - An Israeli Palestinian Youth Music Tour: Opening Ears, Minds, and Hearts
Heartbeat "the Mic Is Stronger " - An Israeli Palestinian Youth Music Tour: Opening Ears, Minds, and Hearts
We are Israeli. We are Palestinian. We are youth. And we believe that popular music has the ability to transform conflict. We ask you to please join us as brothers, sisters, family members, friends, and communities in monetarily supporting our tour: Heartbeat "the Mic Is Stronger" - An Israeli Palestinian Youth Music Tour.
Perhaps some think it is impossible, but here we are, Palestinian and Israeli youth, ready to open ears, minds, and hearts in Israel, Palestine, and around the world. We are amplifying our voices for the change we wish to see in our communities.
"The Mic is Stronger" tour will consist of presentations, performances, and dialogue sessions held at high schools and community centers throughout our Jewish and Arab communities. With your help, we can kickoff the tour in late October 2011.
Our music, inspired by great Western and Eastern social activist musicians, describes our hopes and fears, inspirations and struggles, and overall, our desire to change the current situation we live in as Israelis and Palestinians. Together, we sing, rap, tap, play, breathe, and shout, "the Mic is Stronger."
We can't do this without you. Your monetary pledges and word of mouth/online activism in supporting our tour offers us a chance to build trust and understanding across a much larger cross-section of society. With enough concerts, workshops, YouTube views, song downloads, and other opportunities to understand and build trust with one another, we could help tip the dynamic of distrust and hatred out here to one of trust and compassion. We know there's a much better way, and with your support, we believe that our music will help us all get there.
Heartbeat programs are over 95% scholarship based, making sure money isn't an added obstacle to bringing Heartbeat participants together. Whether covering transportation, food, recording equipment, rehearsal spaces, retreat accommodations, or very basic staff salaries, Heartbeat relies on small donations to keep its programs going.
Each tour performance/presentation will cost roughly $400. This cost covers food, transportation, equipment, and a small stipend for our staff coordinators.
We set the Kickstarter fundraising goal at $3,000, which would cover about 7 performances, but we hope we can raise much (MUCH) more than that. The more we raise, the more performances and presentations we can offer . It's as simple as that!
Heartbeat "the Mic Is Stronger" - An Israeli Palestinian Youth Music Tour was dreamed up by the youth members of Heartbeat, a community of musicians, teachers, and students using music to transform conflict and amplify the voices of Israeli and Palestinian youth. Within the past year, the band, consisting of Palestinians and Israelis of the ages 14-21, produced the album "HIP HOP HUDNA: True Love", participated in three music-dialogue retreats/camps, held performances in Jerusalem, Beit Jalla, and Tel Aviv, and is now gearing up for the "Borderline Remix: an Israeli-Palestinian-African-German Hip Hop Opera" in partnership with the Willy Brant Center and Europeans for Peace.

Justin Bieber declared King of Twitter, dethrones Lady Gaga
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 23, 2013
IT IS OFFICIAL - there are now more Beliebers in the Twittersphere than Little Monsters.
As of yesterday, Justin Bieber had dethroned Lady Gaga as the most followed person on Twitter.
Maybe it has something to do with his new single status but the 18-year-old Boyfriend singer now has more than 33,333,000 followers, while Gaga had about 33,329,000.
Gaga's fans, who she affectionately calls her Little Monsters, and Bieber's Beliebers all know that both stars are prolific tweeters but neither has so far acknowledged the changing of the Twitter guard.
Gaga herself knocked off Britney Spears in August 2010 and has held on to the top spot until yesterday.
However if Gaga is upset that Bieber is getting more social media love than her she should just log on to Facebook where she has almost 55 million followers compared with Bieber's 50 million. (Neither, however, should check out Rihanna's page, who tops them both with 65 million followers.)
1. Justin Bieber - 33.333 million
2. Lady Gaga - 33.329 million
3. Katy Perry - 31.4 million
4. Rihanna - 27.9 million
5. Barack Obama - 26.1 million
6. Britney Spears - 23.3 million
7. Taylor Swift - 23.1 million
8. YouTube - 22.2 million
9. Shakira - 19.3 million
10. Kim Kardashian - 17.2 million

Hopefully last and/or best issue of this highly-coveted Rock
In 1988 New Jersey spent 4 straight weeks at No. 1 in the U.S.
and spawned five Top 10 singles ('Bad Medicine;' 'Born To Be My
Baby;' 'I'll Be There For You;' 'Living In Sin;' and 'Lay Your
Hands On Me') – the only rock album in history with that many Top
10 hits. Bon Jovi originally envisioned the New Jersey project as
a double-LP, using the working title Sons Of Beaches. But in the
end, Mercury Records released the album as a 12-track single LP
and the band renamed it simply New Jersey, in honor of their home
state. With this Deluxe Edition, the New Jersey originally
imagined by Bon Jovi can finally be shared with fans.
The 2-CD Deluxe Edition first disc includes the remastered
original album, plus three bonus tracks. The second CD features
the 13 Sons Of Beaches demos from the New Jersey recording
sessions, remixed exclusively for this project. Also included is
a 32-page booklet with rare images of the band from the New
Jersey era, including never-before-seen photos from the making of
the album; images and memorabilia from the New Jersey world tour;
insider commentary on the bonus tracks and much more.

Nintendo 3DS Press Event Interview
GameSpot's Ricardo Torres gets an up-close comparison of the Nintedo 3DS.
Did you enjoy this video?
Sign In to UpvoteFrom what we know even people with bi-focals can see the 3DS method of 3D, not that I'll play it that way, the graphics being as good as the wii, and better in some cases is more then enough reason to buy it. Plus with all the stuff the Eshop channel is going to have, and the fact that it will get updates, and an Internet browser after launch is good too.
They went beyond my expectations. Will consider buying a new Nintendo handheld now, but how's the backwards compatability? GBA SP was my last one
This handheld is just one word... AMAZING!!! XD man March 27th can't get here fast enough. Love what I'm seeing and hearing on the Nintendo 3DS
I just preordered one... and I don't even have the money to buy it.. well I do, but that leaves me with next to nothing. I am betting on getting a decent job, haha. That is a risk I am willing to take.
The virtual tour of the 3DS on Nintendo's website is very attractive. There are so many features on the system and so much is going to come with it in the package, it justifies the $250 price tag. Can barely wait for March 27th!

Red Devils eye Â15m raid for Cahill
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £15million bid for Bolton's Gary Cahill as fears grow over Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. Sir Alex Ferguson is becoming increasingly worried over his first-choice defensive partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic, reports the MEN. Ferdinand only played 19 times last season for United because of leg and back problems, and also missed the World Cup because of a knee ligament injury suffered in the first training session in South Africa. The 31-year-old is hoping to be fit to face newly-promoted Newcastle at Old Trafford when the 2010/11 Premier League season kicks off on August 14. But that seems ambitious given his progress, and there are also fears that Vidic may be on the way this summer. The Serbian hardman has yet to settle a new Old Trafford deal and Real Madrid have constantly been linked as Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen the Galacticos at the back. Ferguson is already planning for the future having signed rookie centre-back Chris Smalling from Fulham - and although Jonny Evans is also fighting for a starting role, the United gaffer wants to splash some cash on Cahill. The 24-year-old has been tipped as a future England international but has yet to win a full cap. Cahill has admitted he would be open to a move to a big club, saying: "Being realistic, if a big team wanted me to come and play for them, then you have got to look at it. It may be a right decision for both sides. "I'm not saying for one minute I want to leave Bolton. I have loved my time here and the club has done brilliantly for me."

Harrison County Woman Sentenced for Dealing Methamphetamine
MARSHALL, Texas – A 54-year-old Harleton, Texas woman has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Tamara Lynn Olivares pleaded guilty on Mar. 30, 2012, to possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and was sentenced to 43 months in federal prison on June 28, 2012 by U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap.
According to information presented in court, on Aug. 14, 2010, Olivares purchased cold pills containing pseudoephedrine at a CVS store in Marshall, Texas with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine. Olivares admitted to possessing between 100 and 300 grams of pseudoephedrine. Olivares was indicted by a federal grand jury on Aug. 4, 2011.
This case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan R. Jackson.

Becoming the Houston Wine Bar Examiner late 2009 was definitely
an honor and a challenge. Finding the most intriguing and noteworthy
wine bars and sharing that information with my readers, forced me
to get out of my comfort zone and venture out to places unknown to
me yet. A treasure hunt of sorts. So in keeping with that theme, here
is my latest favorite hidden jewel in the Clear Lake Area this year.
Allegria ~ A name chosen from a Bon Apetite' magazine because the
proprietor, Suzanne Streeman, liked the way it sounded. To those that
know their Italian, it means "Happiness". She got it right either way.
Behind the unassuming facade of a small shopping center is where you
will find this little gem tucked away, at 15210 Hwy 3 in Webster, Tx.
Thankfully, this is the only commercial aspect of Allegria. Once you
walk through the front door, its as if you stepped into a portal that
somehow transported you to old New Orleans. From the baroque style
fixtures and eclectic mix of furnishings, to the cozy sofa pits and jazz
instrumentals wafting throughout, this place defies the commercial
aspect so common to strip center bars.
Whether you prefer to sit at the bar and watch the huge flat screen
TV or hide away in one of the cushioned alcoves with a book and a
glass of your favorite wine, your needs are accomodated here. Getting
comfortable here is easy and seems to come naturally.
Although the wine list is not so extensive as to be pretentious, there
are ample selections in a myriad of varietals. Fully licensed by TABC,
they also serve cocktails and beer along with an appetizer menu that
changes daily.
Monthly events that are hosted here include a Murder Mystery dinner,
wine tastings, Poetry nights, BYO Steak nights and Sunday Brunches.
To keep up with the dates and times of all these events, check the website
at www.allegriawinebar.com frequently. I plan on checking them all out!
And if you have no plans for New Years eve as of yet, there is still time
to RSVP here. A sumptuous buffet and champagne are included in the
$20 per person fee and a live DJ will be playing your favorite tunes.
Whether you bring friends or come and make some new ones, this will
be a wonderful way to ring the New Year in!

The first step for a commercial fisherman or coastal business seeking compensation for losses suffered in the oil spill seems simple enough: Submit copies of a commercial fishing license, proof of residence and tax statements.
But the request for tax records poses a serious challenge to some residents of close-knit fishing communities on the swampy edges of southeastern Louisiana, which for generations have harbored self-reliant nonconformists who don't pay much heed to everyday rules and regulations.

Cupcakes have taken the country by storm in the past decade. What gives? When I think of cupcakes, I remember how my mom would bring them to school with flavored, sweetened beverages and how she would make them for 4-H bake sales. You would see them with Scouts or athletic teams to help them raise money for their organizations.
Happy Valentine's Day two days early. While researching why chocolate is so popular for Valentine's Day, I found this interesting information.
Chocolate is a unique food as it not only satisfies the taste buds and mouth, but goes on to satisfy the brain, according to Dr. Judith Wurtman, who published "A Valentine Date with Chocolate," in "The Antidepressant Diet."
Sugar and butterfat change chocolate from a bitter, dry crunchy food into one that coats the tongue and mouth and has a major impact on the way we feel.
One of my favorite things to do is go to my mom's house for dinner. There's just something about my momma's cooking.
After staying at her house a few days while I had some home repairs completed, she made one of my favorites — broccoli casserole.
As a kid, you couldn't get me to eat broccoli if you paid me a million dollars. But now this dish is a favorite.
It's even better the next day as leftovers. It's almost like food crack.
Today is a first for One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks. It is an honor to introduce a former student, Stephanie Hagar, who was nominated by her very proud grandmother, Lelia Rogers.
Stephanie lives in Cecilia with her husband, Tim, and three sons, Derek, Devin and Cade. Stephanie calls herself a stay-at-home working mom, as she has a nail salon in her home and says it is the best of both worlds.
This week's adventure is the story of a recipe gone wrong but joyfully salvaged because adding ice cream on top of any baking mishap makes it all turn out well in the end.
A few weeks ago, I ran across a recipe for hot fudge pie. The photo looked delicious and the instructions were relatively simple so I printed it out to try sometime. With the words hot fudge in the title it was a no-brainer to clip and save.
The big game is coming up Sunday and with the Super Bowl comes game day snacks.
Super Bowl snacks always are about eating something yummy, but there are certain kinds of snacks people tend to enjoy more.
A very unscientific survey on Facebook broke down what people want this way.
Sunday, it's the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Many of you will be entertaining whether you routinely watch football or not, and others of you will find yourselves in a crowded family room, eating great food before the game or during halftime.
The halftime festivities are so entertaining that you might prefer to eat before the game, followed by nibbling from the coffee table during the game and especially at halftime.
On a cold and rainy night, I decided to try to make some bread, even though I'm not very good at it. Because I was slightly bored at the time I came up with the idea for the great bread challenge.
As I name the contestants please hum the "Rocky" theme song in your head to humor me.
In one corner sat a hand-me-down bread machine that never has been used. In the other corner, traditional bread making.
This week is Recipe Roundup as next week I will feature recipes you might want to try for a Super Bowl party.
An employee at Jeff's Prescription Shop gave me a couple cake recipes, which are more dense cakes because of the addition of instant pudding, but still very moist.
The Whiskey Cake is made just like a Rum Cake recipe I have except she uses whiskey. The Chocolate Surprise is one I want to try.
Sometimes a girl just needs a little something Italian. At least this girl does.
My favorite cookbook for recipes that are pretty simple is Giada De Laurentiis' "Everyday Italian." There are so many great dishes to choose from but Chicken Piccata is the choice for this adventure.

Just a heads up, Troy Brown chat at noon definitely worth checking out or participating in: http://www.boston.com/sports/ Follow the link underneath the sports headlines.
Thanks for the reminder. Bingo is definitely one of the Patriots I am so proud to have on the team that I support for his on-field and off-the-field performances. Without his huge plays in the 2002 AFC Championship game, we don't even get to Super Bowl 36 and who know if any other success follows after that.
Troy Brown: "I can probably throw it 60 yards, and probably punt it about 30 yards. I'm not a very good punter." Just setting a lower limit for Kennie in case he has another stretch like in 2003.
As a fan since 61 I believe: The most talented Patriots start with Hannah and Brady, but when it comes to the heart, attitude and performance I say. Troy Brown=Greatest Patriot ever.
Brings to mind the 2001 Colts game (the 2nd - in the dome) when Patten had that incredible performance. Remember, one of the TD's was a bomb from Patten to Brown? After the game either Troy or David (I forget which one) was recounting how they had been practicing that play for weeks - - sometimes with #80 throwing it and sometimes with #86 throwing it. They actually fought over who would throw it and who would catch it. Patten won the right in the game, but it's nice that Brown got the TD reception out of it.

The recent revelation of a hack on the Catch of the Day site that occurred in 2011 is the latest example of attacks carried out on websites to steal passwords, usernames and email addresses, which have become regular events.
CNET was attacked recently while Adobe had millions of records breached last year.
Heartbleed revealed a massive flaw in web encryption, showing that it's never been more important to have strong, unique passwords for all websites and webmail and other online services. Password managers are a solution that can store passwords and create complex passwords to prevent attacks.
CHOICE has tested and recommended password managers as a way to secure passwords. It was revealed recently, however, that password manger software isn't bulletproof. Security researchers found critical defects in five web-based password managers – LastPass, RoboForm, My1Login, PasswordBox and NeedMyPassword.
The vulnerabilities have mostly been fixed and there's no evidence that attacks have taken place based on any of these flaws. But password managers, if compromised, could potentially give hackers a single point of entry to scoop us all passwords in one go.
On balance, it's still safer to use a password manager rather than re-use one or two simple passwords on multiple sites or, (and this should be a thing of the distant past) writing passwords on paper.
If you want to check if your password has been stolen, there are several sites that will tell you if it's been compromised. You can even sign up for alerts that will notify you if your email has been stolen.
If you think your list of passwords is getting longer and you're tempted to re-use passwords, you're not alone. A 2007 Microsoft study found that the average person using the web has 25 separate accounts but only 6.5 different passwords. In 2014 that's likely to be a higher number as so many more services are now accessed online.
At the same time, computing power has increased, giving hackers faster processors to try and crack passwords and add to that the recent password leaks and there are more reasons than ever before to protect passwords.
If you want to remember your own password, there is a technique known as spaced repetition that Microsoft researchers have found helps people to remember passwords. It involves entering the password numerous times over several sittings so it's 'burned in' to the brain. The technique could be used to remember the master password for a password manager program, rather than many separate passwords. Just remember, anything is better than using your pet's name as a password.

Published: Wednesday April 24, 2013 MYT 12:00:00 AM Updated: Friday April 26, 2013 MYT 12:41:46 AM
PETALING JAYA: Security at the Bukit Gasing recreation and leisure centre will be enhanced with the setting up of a mobile police station on Saturday.
Bukit Gasing was where a female jogger met a violent end at the hands of knife-wielding robbers last Saturday.
The mobile police station will be manned for two periods daily, from 7am to 10am and from 4pm to 7pm.
Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said the mobile police station was the result of an accord reached by the police and representatives of resident associations in Petaling Jaya.
He said the aim of the accord was to check crime in the area and safeguard the public.
As an immediate precaution, police has stationed uniformed and plain-clothes policemen at the location to ensure the security of the public, Arjunaidi said.
Meanwhile, he urged the community residing in the vicinity of Bukit Gasing to register as volunteers to help police check criminal activities.
On April 20, Ong Ai Sam, 52, and her daughter, aged 17, were confronted by two robbers who were riding a motorcycle when the former were returning home after jogging in Bukit Gasing.
Ong, who told her daughter to make a run for it, was stabbed six times by one of the two men. She collapsed in a pool of blood.
She was confirmed dead upon arrival at the University Malaya Medical Centre.
The police have detained four teenagers, aged between 16 and 18, to facilitate investigations into the murder.
The suspects were picked up in separate raids at the Sri Medan Flats and Bukit Gasing Flats here early yesterday. - Bernama

Terriers snap up Sinclair
09 Feb 2007 - 08:33:48
Huddersfield Town manager Peter Jackson hopes that Frank Sinclair's arrival at the Galpharm Stadium will add some much-needed know-how to his defence.
The 35-year-old former Chelsea and Leicester City star moves to the Terriers on loan from Burnley until the end of the season, with a view to a longer-term deal in the summer.
"Frank Sinclair has got lots of experience which will be a valuable addition to the backline," Jackson told Town's official website.
"We have a young back four and he will hopefully add more steel to the defence.
"We have been doing okay recently in defence, but we certainly need cover there."

HVAC Home Page | ||
Kalamazoo Valley Community College Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Department. One of the best reasons to consider HVAC at KVCC is that we have a hands on Lab with live equipment, not trainers. Hands on training on real equipment provides real life experience that today's contractors require. Trainers cannot provide that. Technicians must be able to maintain, diagnose, and correct problems throughout an entire heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. To do this, they adjust system controls to recommended settings and test the performance of the entire system using special tools and test equipment. Technicians often specialize in either installation or maintenance and repair, although they are trained to do both. Some specialize in one type of equipment, hydronics (water-based heating systems), for example. Skill levels are enhanced as students in HVAC continue through their educational programs. Many students work as apprentices. Courses in these programs prepare students for certifications, which are often a requirement for placement. An AAS degree best prepares graduates for employment and advancement. Associate of Applied Science Certificates HVAC MOVIE |
Those who train for jobs in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration should have ample employment opportunities in the years ahead, whether they are new to the vocation or are veterans in the field who need training upgrades. Nationally, the employment of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2010 As the population grows and economy rebounds, so will the demand for new residential, commercial and industrial climate-control systems. Also, an expanding concern for energy conservation will prompt the development of innovative energy saving heating and air conditioning systems. The emphasis on better energy management should lead to the replacement of older units and the installation of newer, more efficient networks in existing homes and buildings. |

Miscommunication: when what they hear isn't what you said
"I know you believe you understand what you think I said. I'm not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant."- Robert McCloskey
It has happened to all of us. We say something, and it is misconstrued or taken out of context and, suddenly, the person hearing it becomes incensed. They respond without thinking about it, and you are left with drama or a big problem. It happens at work, school and home. It happens in our marriages and relationships almost every day. Women talk about what their boyfriend, mother, friends and even strangers say to them all the time. Then they tell their friends and boyfriends and husbands, which keeps the drama growing. Men get in on it too, especially if they are quick to anger. The issue isn't an issue until someone responds; that's what fuels the fire and stirs it up until everything is so intensified that no one knows who they are angry at, why they were angry, or why it even mattered in the first place. When I counsel in my office, most of the session is spent clarifying what was said and what was heard. It is often a tedious process, but you cannot understand why you are upset if you no longer know who said what and, more importantly, if they meant what you heard.
Miscommunication often happens when we think we know someone very well and begin to assume certain aspects about their personality. This is dangerous, since the only certain truth is that humans are very unpredictable. Husbands and wives that have been married for 25 or more years are still surprised by one another, and teenagers are shocked when they see their mom and dad doing something they had assumed they were too old to ever partake in. Texting, emailing and social networks have heightened the problem. When you communicate electronically, the receiver can assume all sorts of emotions. They can see anger where there are only a few capitals, and they can see excitement with a few exclamation points. Some people always write in caps, and I have a lot of excited people who text me with exclamation points. They cannot all be as excited as they are expressing. Electronic communication also takes away the body language, which is so important when you are trying to convey a feeling.
If you find yourself in the middle of a conflict, before you text, email or post something on your Facebook, it is wise to take a breath and a break. Below are a few other suggestions, which will minimize the damage and diminish the ongoing drama (at least from your end).
1. Remind yourself that feelings are never right or wrong, they just are. If the person writing or texting you is feeling a certain way, there is nothing you will gain by jumping in too quickly because there is no right or wrong.

can keep the love.
I have tons of it, I know this is true.
Love to You and ALL of Them, XO.
Cut and paste and distribute with said tale...
if need be. I love you, xo.
yeah, that's lovely. really nice words.
hope everything goes smoothly. will be thinking of everyone throughout the day.
i raise a glass of the good stuff to his memory and his family and friends. such a sad shame to be taken so soon.
Our Savage made this for my son's friend who was killed. His funeral is today. Thank you for your loving kindness, Savvy!!
I share the woe.
I am the woe.
A toast to them, All!

I really used to love his radio show.

Here's an opportunity for Blues fans to petition the Grammy Organization to create a stand-alone "Blues Music" category.
Thank you :)
passed away after an ongoing battle with leukemia, sad to say. Now personally, I do not think "At Last" can be beat, and it was actually made into one of the most beautiful car commercials ever produced (which I say with no trace of irony, art and beauty are art and beauty).
However, thanks to Barry Howarth, we have this, which many of us actually witnessed, and remember fondly...
thats good to hear.
it really is the most effective way of dealing with things like that; everyone sticks tight and helps the best way they can. the power of community.
a harsh lesson to learn at such a young age but hopefully it will influence them in a positive way in later life. thats all one can hope for.
be strong guys.
The Tibetan Book Of Living And Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche is a really helpful book for future reading, especially after the initial shock and grief has passed.
One thing that IS good is how the kids are sticking together. Saturday night most of my son's clique met to hang out, and try to help each other deal. They learned in a very hard way that they aren't immortal, and that certain rules like "cross the tracks with the tunnel, not directly" exist for a very good reason. They're taking turns reaching out to the parents, will show up en masse at the funeral and things like that.

OTTAWA, April 20 – Bill C-44, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act, is currently before Parliament and is making its way through the legislative process. If enacted, Bill C-44 will repeal section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Since 1977, this provision has prevented First Nations people from lodging complaints of discrimination against the federal and First Nations governments in relation to acts and decisions authorized by the Indian Act. On 21 February 2007, following second reading debate, the House of Commons referred Bill C-44 to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
The Committee began its study of the legislation on 22 March 2007, when the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development appeared to present the government's views on the need to eliminate section 67. The Committee has scheduled meetings with the Assembly of First Nations and the Native Women's Association of Canada, and others. Committee members know that the progress of Bill C-44 is a matter of great interest to those that stand to be affected by the legislation. Accordingly, on 27 March 2007, the Committee decided to invite written submissions to gain a better appreciation of how First Nations people and their community governments view the repeal of section 67 and, in particular, the impact of repeal in their communities. Written submissions are considered public information. Those wishing to present written submissions on Bill C-44 for the Committee's consideration should mail them to the Committee clerk at the address below no later than 1 May 2007. Guidelines on the preparation of submissions to a House of Commons Committee may be requested from the clerk, or consulted at http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/process/house/WitnessesGuides/guide-brief-e.htm

A great article Doug, one that is extremely close to my heart. I love film, and have insight into the fact that until recently I was probably a bit blinkered – not anti-digital, but I certainly viewed it as photography's upstart sister.
The debate can really polarise opinion, and much has already been discussed about film costs and availability. The arguments can easily be skewed either way as both have significant advantages and disadvantages. To my mind the end result is the print, and the two mediums have a different aesthetic and sensibility. I prefer film, but that doesn't mean it's better. I prefer watercolour to the detail in the portraits of the dutch masters, neither is 'better'.
The tool box analogy is the best I can think of. If a job needs a spanner, it would be crazy to insist on using a screwdriver, simply because you think screwdrivers are superior.
A couple of years ago I had an (early) mid life crisis and spent a few weeks in a desert wasteland on motorbikes with some equally afflicted 30 somethings. I took with me a digi P+S and a fuji MF film camera. With hindsight I should have just slipped the dig in my pocket and gone. I managed very few shots on the film camera, tripods/time got in the way. Though to my mind the film shots have a nicer feel to them. I packed the wrong toolbox.
The most exciting thing in recent years is the amalgamation of the technologies. In PS I can dodge and burn film images that would have been impossible in the darkroom days, getting all that latitude onto paper, cleanly and clearly. I can then output the image onto a variety of different papers and substrates, or mail it in microseconds to friends and relatives on the other side of the world.
I've recently started making wet prints again, without the use of a darkroom, making contact prints from digitally created negatives using alternate 150 year old processes. This must be the ultimate amalgamation of technology, although I mainly use LF negs, I recently made a siderotype from an image made on my phone. The image has beautiful tones, on heavy watercolour paper which has a fantastic feel. A truly hand made filmic print from a tiny sensor.
Although some of us will miss some papers and emulsions, this mix we have now is the golden age of photography.
PS hope you are on your feet again soon

BEN VIENT: Vienna tower aims for public to 'get onboard' rail project
Editor's note: This article is part of an occasional series of articles about rail travel in Europe.
Six stories above Vienna's downtown stands a simple wooden tower that looks built from centuries past. Centuries forward is where it hopes to convince the Viennese to go. How does one city promote a new transportation hub to the public in hopes of renovating the city center?
The wooden tower stands in stark contrast to the modern infrastructure emerging around it: the construction of Vienna's new central train station. Originally approved in 2007 at a cost of approximately $1 billion, the rail project's price tag has risen an additional 27 percent as the December opening date approaches.
The concept is massive. The financial stakes are huge. And it's the work of one simple wooden tower to sell the station to the public.
At 219 feet tall, it is the highest walkable wooden tower in Europe. Inside, you'll find a temporary museum, known locally as the "Bahnorama," that allows an impressive overview of the construction site: diverging rail lines, looming office buildings, 5,000 new apartments, a 20-acre park and a school. (This entire new city district is expected to cost approximately $5 billion.)
It is a complete redesign of downtown Vienna that began before the Great Recession curtailed many infrastructure projects globally. But not in Austria. The Austrian government, in response to the economic crisis, increased infrastructure projects.
Karl Hartig, the project manager of the new Central Station, remembers being asked to tighten the construction timetable, so that more construction workers would be hired early on. "This project helped to bring down unemployment at a critical time," Hartig proudly asserts.
At the time of the 2010 station groundbreaking, Europe was calling for austerity in response to the economic crisis. Viennese city planners feared losing public support for this project, the largest public works project in Austria's history. Behold the wooden tower, designed by Rahm architekten, which opened in 2010 at a cost of just more than $6 million.
Walk inside and the tower's exhibition space is colorful and lively. Video installations project a changing skyline; interactive displays herald reduced travel times.
The walls showcase determined answers to direct questions, such as: "Why do we need a main station?" (development); "What does the construction mean to us neighbors?" (noise); "How many new jobs will be created?" (20,000) and "Who pays for this?" (apparently, everyone and anyone).
(Interestingly, the exhibits predominantly use English, despite this being a German-speaking country. Part of Vienna's plan is that regional businesses will consider this Central European location for headquarters, or as a regular meeting point.)
As animated as all this is, planners realize they need real people to build public support for the station, and they created this space to allow rail fans to congregate.
Volker Truchess, 65, a retiree neighbor of the station, towering in a cardigan and wool cap, dashes through the exhibit "at least weekly" to show visiting family and friends what he considers "a very important development for the city."
"Worth all the money?" I ask him.
"No question?" I attempt
"No question," he says while directing me to a childlike display that figures for every one euro invested in this project, two euros will return.
Thomas Lintz, 26, appears around the corner, shaking one or two of those euros in his pocket. After an afternoon of shopping, he has stopped by to see the displays for the first time.
He admits that the exhibit's positive spin has made him neutral about the new central station, which he at first considered too costly. "It does all look great, yes," he hesitates.
"I'm skeptical of the project costs, because politics and government can seem so corrupt. Is this exhibition saying that these will indeed be the final costs, and can we hold them accountable if costs go higher?"
It's a clear, sunny day. The view from the elevated platform at the top of the wooden tower is revealingly impressive. But Lintz turns the other way: "I wanted to go to the top to understand it better," he says, "but I decided not to, because the elevator ride up costs 2.50 euros," approximately $3.25.
The city of Vienna erected the wooden tower to sell this rail project to the public. It has a sales job to perform, indeed.
Ben Vient recently completed a two-year fellowship in Europe.
