As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue--and pulled between two young men who belong to very different and warring royal bloodlines. The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power as a necromancer, but which side will she choose--and to whom will she give her heart?
By day, I am a mild-mannered writer of fantasy and paranormal fiction for young adults. By night, I'm a pediatric nurse. I live on the Gulf Coast with my husband, one soon-to-be teenager, and two slobbery Mastiffs. I like playing video games and watching Jane Austen movies. (Alas, if only there was a Jane Austen video game!) THE GATHERING STORM is my first novel.

If your site was migrated from Joomla! 1.5 to 2.5, you might experience problems when trying to update from your Joomla! 2.5.x to a 3.1.x version.
Menu id #'s are hard coded into the update. There might be an issue with updating because another menu item id # is using one of the hard coded id #'s.
This will be a not be an issue in 3.2, see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/1722
These instructions assume you have upgraded to the latest Joomla! 2.5.x version and have upgraded your extensions and removed those which will not be compatible with Joomla! 3.1.x after your Joomla! 2.5.x upgrade.
Due to the different variations of installed components, you might not see the exact error below but one very similar.
0 - An error has occurred. SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_menu` (`id`, `menutype`, `title`, `alias`, `note`, `path`, `link`, `type`, `published`, `parent_id`, `level`, `component_id`, `checked_out`, `checked_out_time`, `browserNav`, `access`, `img`, `template_style_id`, `params`, `lft`, `rgt`, `home`, `language`, `client_id`) VALUES (23, 'main', 'com_tags', 'Tags', '', 'Tags', 'index.php?option=com_tags', 'component', 0, 1, 1, 29, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'class:tags', 0, '', 45, 46, 0, '', 1);
The upgrade from Joomla! 2.5.x can be a difficult one if you arrived at Joomla! 2.5 via a migrated Joomla! 1.5.x installation. The error is for some reason the JUpgrade did not correctly migrate the menu table item id's correctly.
When you do a fresh install off Joomla 2.5.11 the menu items up to 200 are reserved for future Joomla menu updates for the core. No user created menus starts with an id 201. Some versions of Joomla possibly start user content at id 100.
Now in my case there is no gap between the core and the user data menu ids (ie i have some user menus in the 0 - 200 range) and this can rear its head when you do an upgrade because the guys at joomla expect 0-100 or 0- 200 to be empty so issues like the on i have do not happen and they can put their stuff in there.
one way of detecting this error without diving into the database is the lack of the joomla update component menu in the admin panel. You can correct this missing item by following this article -insert link-- but it will delete the menu item that is already there. If you know what you are doing just look in jos_menu and see if the range 0-200 only has joomla core stuff in it.
now my issue is when the update has almost finished it says there is a duplicate entry, in my case it is a jmedia menu item
It is the menu items that causes the upgrade issue for me.
later version of j2.5 made all new 'user content' menu items install in the jos_menu id 200+ region so this will never be an issue, but for those of use who have migrated from joomla 1.5 with jupgrade to an early version of j2.5 (early versions of jupgrade had issues in migrating menu id numbers), here is the fix
The errors in the database need fixing. But you can sucessfully upgrade to joomla 3.0.3 and then make the changes. I believe that it is after j3.0.3 the 'joomla extension' and 'joomla core' quick icon items are added. However i would make the changes to the j2.5.11 first. This note is really for reference for those on j3.0.3 having similiar issues and apart from the obvious the fix is still the same.
step 1 - copy all of you menu items (only those below 200)
How To:
Remaining Steps
As mention before the joomla updater might be missing. To fix this you need to run the following sql script to add the entery back in. You by now should have an empty 0 - 200 menu id range. This is correcting one of those damaged enteries.
info from:
- additional missing menu items.
I checked the menu items on a fresh install of joomla 2.5.11 and discovered that core menu items go up to 22. (i think in later version of j3 tags is added in at id 23)
I had a missing item, Smart Search. here is the code i used to fix the missing item:
INSERT INTO `j25_menu` (`id`, `menutype`, `title`, `alias`, `note`, `path`, `link`, `type`, `published`, `parent_id`, `level`, `component_id`, `ordering`, `checked_out`, `checked_out_time`, `browserNav`, `access`, `img`, `template_style_id`, `params`, `lft`, `rgt`, `home`, `language`, `client_id`) VALUES (21, 'menu', 'com_finder', 'Smart Search', '', 'Smart Search', 'index.php?option=com_finder', 'component', 0, 1, 1, 27, 0, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 0, 'class:finder', 0, '', 41, 42, 0, '*', 1);
the quickest way to get code like this is to use phpmyadmin to export them from a fresh copy of joomla j2.5.11
If the update icons are missing on the dashboard. this is because the plugins need to be enabled. on a default 3.0 install they are enabled by default.
Go to the plugin manager and enable:
You possibly need to reinstall a component over the top if you get issues. i did, in particular k2. i had updated it to the latest version before upgrade (cannot uninstall it because it wipes the database)
Also if you have tried to update, and it failed, then you have to make shure that no tables from the update are left behind in the database, because they will also conflict!

It's a dam shame we the people have no say even with so many people saying we don't want this they still don't care. It all about government control and now they also added the student loan bill as well which is just another government takeover. I for one do not want to think about the day when I have to call a government official for customer support. We are all taking note on who votes yes to this thing because now they are ramming two take over down our throats…
- thegiftedbee2 03/19/2010 11:00am
1.) 1/3 of the doctors have threatened to quit practice which means 32 million more people waiting in long lines for "quality" health care.
2.) I do not want rationed or socialized medicine. I don't know of any Americans who run to Canada for health care.
3.) I'm pro-life and shouldn't be forced to pay for immoral women to have kill their babies.
BTW….November is coming and we will all know which way they voted. Remember they work for us, not the other way arround.
All of those who support this bill and others like it would do well to keep in mind that a very large number of us are not going to cooperate with this unconstitutional nonsense despite its expected passage this Sunday (or whenever). As Thomas Jefferson has said, "An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed." We shall resist to the last and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Good luck forcing us all to purchase health insurance simply because we exist; you're going to need it.
Extreme conservatives, why are none of you bitching about other publicly funded programs? Medicare, social security, public schools, fire departments, police? The government takes money from your paycheck every month and your state takes money for everything you buy, if you were the conservatives that you say you are you wouldn't stop at this health care bill. The way I see extreme conservatism is that other people's kids are not your problem, other people's houses, cars or other property that can catch fire are not your problem. Other people's safety is not your problem why should you pay for it? Of course its not your problem, but because they are your fellow American you put up with paying the taxes so that someday if you have to ask for help you did your part in establishing the program that can help you; its part of being a citizen of this country.
The policies that you disagree with in this bill, are they policies you've read about or just been told about?

"…why are none of you bitching about other publicly funded programs? Medicare, social security, public schools…"
Open your eyes and ears, they (we) do complain. What you fail to see is that, we have NO choice on where our tax money goes. We can't refuse, we'll be imprisoned or shot by the IRS mafia. But they won't even give us a questionaire to fill out that let's us appropriate the stolen money they're yanking from our hands.
- arcanedemesne 06/21/2010 5:08pm
Insanity. The average Ameican pays 35-40% in taxes (from income, to sales, to property, to alcohol, to every other ridiculous tax they get us on). I'm not a fan of forced taxation for the guise of socialism. But we ALREADY pay as much as some socialist states do who have state run healthcare. And now you are REQUIRING that POOR people HAVE to PAY MORE?! WTF are you thinking? And trying to skim off the top again, but only high enough so as to not dip into your salaries congress (oh, wait…is congress paid tax free?!!?!). UGH

I do believe we need HealthCare Reform however, I'm NOT looking at the nickels and dimes of how much it cost because there are things in life a HECK OF A LOT MORE IMPORTANT than money… It's not a priority for those who don't have it… What is Important is your health and Health Care should be just what it says, A way to Take Care of your Health and the Health of all the Sick, Poor and Needy. Any HealthCare Bill that cares more about $$ than the Person's Well-being isnt HealthCare now is it? NO.

And the civilized world giggles and points, as we drown in our greed, our fear, our bickering and our own mismanagement. Even the well meant ideas are awfully executed. It's sad really, we were once such a pretty little nation… But it's no longer "we" is it? Just us and them, just I'm right and you're wrong, I am worthy and you are not. It will all burn down, if the fighting continues. And while it's you that does it, I will burn down with you as I am powerless to stop you as small as I am. But remember as we kill us all, and drag our children with us… I bear us no ill will, if for no other reason than that we were very entertaining. That will be our legacy… late night TV and blogs. Sleep well my fellow Americans.
speaking my mind! healthcare prices go up because of investors wanting a good pay day, but this is what advances medicine, so we are kinda screwed. people don't purchase health insurance because the premiums are too high, and the premiums will begin to spike even more because of this, which will lead to more people dropping insurance, get the picture im painting here? once nobody can afford healthcare, the industry will collapse, and guess what, the government will be forced to step in. so what we need is to balance government subsidy with rising costs. base what people pay on what they make, i know it would make some people not want to work or whatever, but that's a small blip in the equation.

I won't support anything that a president who still has yet to offer that he's actually even legally elgible to hold a political office, has supported (regardless of factors).. He can claim it's passed into law via his signature all he wants, that don't make it so.. This would be the views of a foreign dictator.. Welcome to the federation of America, where we are now under a dictatorship.. Have been now for the past 12 years.
The Affordable Care Act has benefited millions of people. Some were unable to afford insurance, others had pre-existing conditions that prevented them from gaining insurance. That has all changed with the overhaul of the health care system. www.obamacare.com is a good site to consult for easy to understand information about the healthcare law.

5/31/13 Amanda Bynes Acting Crazy...Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 31, 2013
Amanda Bynes claims photos taken at a trampoline facility in Buffalo, NY are not her, but multiple witnesses say otherwise. Photos show Amanda wearing a brown wig at a "Sky Zone" center, and she went bananas on Twitter, cussing out bloggers who posted them. She tweeted, "THAT'S NOT ME! I've never been to SkyZone! That looks nothing like me!" Several Sky Zone employees and customers have said that they're 100% convinced it was her, and Amanda even left a paper trail. The center's owner said, "Amanda had to sign a waiver. She has the same DOB and same tattoos, but she checked in using her middle name and same last name. She did not use 'Amanda.'" Witnesses say Amanda was frantic and distracted, asking guests to delete pictures while she bumbled around. Amanda went so far with her denial that she denied even owning a brown wig, but previous photos of her show that she has indeed worn a brown wig before.
Amanda Bynes neighbors in her NYC apartment are freaked out by her. One tells the NY Post, "She stares you out in the elevator. Residents are terrified to be alone with her. She knocked on one woman's door, and when it opened, she screamed 'You're ugly,' and ran away. "Amanda always seems to be alone, muttering to herself and looking completely out of it." The resident said management as well as neighbors in Bynes' West 47th Street building are fed up with her antics in the lobby, elevators and public corridors. The good news is, she hasn't been seen in the building since her arrest.
Believe it or not! Lindsay Lohan's rehab stint isn't just about her health -- she's also using it as a chance to mend fences with her family. A source close to LiLo tells E Online that she's been taking advice from counselors at the Betty Ford Clinic, who've been stressing the important role that family can play in recovery. The insider says, "She's been super committed to therapy and mending her relationship with her family. She wants to get everything out on the table, so she will have a large weight lifted off her shoulders. He wants to get everything out with them in front of a counselor who can help mediate it all."
CHANNING TATUM says his friends keep him grounded by doing things with his action figures that are, quote, "way, way not PG-13." He adds, quote, "It's embarrassing how much my friends make fun of me." He also says he's "a fat kid on the inside" because he likes to eat so much, and his weight fluctuates 25 to 30 pounds between movies.
5/30/13 Bieber a Father??

Thursday, May 30, 2013
In Touch magazine got a hold of some pictures of Amanda Bynes partying in her apartment in New York City. In one photo she is reclining on her bed which is stripped down to a bare mattress with no sheets or other bedding and there appears to be a joint or blunt next to her. Bynes, of course, denies the pictures are real, tweeting: "That's not my bed! Those aren't my toes! My toes are pedicured!"
The male model who believes he is the father of Kourtney Kardashian's son Mason has consulted a lawyer and plans to take her to court. He claims he and Kourtney had a fling in March 2009 when she was on a break from Scott Disick. Her lawyer denies the claim saying she was never intimate with him. The guy has now consulted a top lawyer in Los Angeles and his next step will be to take her to court and sue her for a paternity test.
Courteney Cox and David Arquette have officially ended their 12-year marriage. On Tuesday, a judge finalized the couple's divorce. The two first separated in October 2010, but didn't file divorce papers until June 2012. They have both asked for joint legal and physical custody of their eight-year-old daughter Coco.
A woman claims JUSTIN BIEBER is the father of her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. She says she and Justin had sex in Miami in 2010, when he was 15 and she was 25. She supposedly wants no money from Justin and will let him decide if he wants to be a part of his daughter's life. Justin's people are denying this.
5/29/13 Neighbers Hate Justin Bieber
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Justin Bieber is in hot water with his neighbors. They say not only does he drive his Ferrari way too fast, they have also seen him riding a Segway and smoking a joint--in front of neighborhood kids! They say Justin and his friends have turned the neighborhood upside down. They've called cops twice in the last week over loud noise coming from Justin's house where parties go until 3 AM. Some residents are claiming Justin almost hit a neighbor pulling out of his driveway. The homeowner's board is planning on taking action. They've talked to cops who promise they will start towing vehicles that are left on the street overnight. Word has it Bieber is also running a business from his house, which is banned by the association rules.
When Courtney Love is offering you advice, you can be pretty sure your life is a wreck. Courtney reached out to Amanda Bynes Monday night, tweeting, "Pull it together, dude." Amanda didn't take too kindly to the message, shooting back with "Courtney Love is the ugliest woman I've ever seen. To be mentioned by her at all makes me and all my friends laugh!" But Courtney didn't fight back. She wrote, "Amanda, I wasn't attacking you, love. I've been in your shoes before, wasn't easy. DM me, let's talk. Ignore the haters." Just before her rant, Amanda claimed that her lawyer is getting her case dropped. But that might be fanciful thinking. She was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, attempted tampering with evidence and marijuana possession Thursday, after allegedly throwing a bong out of her 36th-floor apartment in full view of cops.
KATY PERRY was spotted with both ROBERT PATTINSON and her ex-boyfriend JOHN MAYER over the Memorial Day weekend.

5/28/13 Chris Brown May Face Jail
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Chris Brown could be in big trouble. According to TMZ, Chris is being investigated by the LAPD in connection with a minor fender bender he had last week. Chris allegedly refused to give the driver he rear-ended his driver's license number and also gave the woman incorrect insurance information. The problem is that Chris is still on probation for assaulting Rihanna -- and if he's found to have broken the law by leaving the scene without fully disclosing the required information, his probation could be violated and he could go to prison for up to four years.
Angelina Jolie's aunt died from breast cancer Sunday. This comes just two weeks after the actress revealed she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy. Her aunt, Debbie Martin, was the younger sister of Angelina's mother, who died of ovarian cancer in 2007.
Amanda Bynes is a free woman and she's back to acting crazy on Twitter. After getting arrested Thursday for reckless endangerment and then undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, Amanda attacked the NYPD. She wrote that she plans to sue them for "illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia." --Amanda, who allegedly threw a bong out the window of her 36th-floor apartment in front of police, continued, "Then I'm suing for being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am." She has also claimed that the police officer who arrested her committed sexual harassment when he "slapped my vagina." And for good measure, she plans to sue her apartment complex for "lying" about her smoking marijuana. "I'm free forever!" she tweeted. "You can't lock up an innocent person!"
5/27/13 Amanda Bynes Court Appearance

Kim Kardashian is reportedly going to spend $1 million to give birth to her baby. Sources say Kim hired a top photographer to document the delivery and her first week as a new mom-- at a cost of $1,000 a day. And she and Kanye West are also planning to dish out more than $4,000 per day for a deluxe birthing suite at the hospital in Los Angeles where Kim is expected to spend at least three days. The couple also spent $25,000 on lingerie while they were in Paris because she had no intention of wearing a plain old hospital gown that's been worn by other women.
The engagement between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth is back on.... for now. Sources say the couple was spotted making out at a party at her home in Los Angeles earlier this month. The sources say the couple and the engagement is definitely back on.
Amanda Bynes is out of jail on her own recognizance after a crazy court appearance. Amanda appeared before a judge in New York after spending the night in jail. She was wearing the same clothes -- and same wacky platinum wig -- that she had on when she was arrested. Her story, not surprisingly, is a bit more amusing. She told the judge that it was "just a vase" that she threw out the window of her 36th floor Manhattan apartment . . . not a bong. Which doesn't exactly explain why she threw it out the window when cops showed up. Amanda has been charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment -- because someone could've gotten hit with the bong -- and marijuana possession. She didn't have to put up any bail money, but the judge warned her sternly not to miss her July court date.

General Tips
Hey all, I feel like nunu's been missing out on the love lately. He's an underrated hero who really shines when put in the right hands and can be intensely fun to play. He's arguably one of the best early ganking junglers in the game and is rivaled only by warwick in speed and ease of jungling. Not to mention he's a Yeti (well okay, he's really a small child HUMPING a Yeti, but that doesn't sound anywhere near as cool).
This is a guide for a jungling Nunu based around ganking early and often (first ganks go off at level 3 at the latest). This is a tanking support Nunu, who late game concentrates on getting off good ults, making the enemy blow their cds on him and chasing/kiting the enemy. This is from the perspective of myself, a 1600s+ player who loves Nunu and has an average K/D/A ratio of about 1:1:4 with him (2.8-2.7-12.1). He is also my most played champion by a decent margin.
So, how do you play the Yeti?
Your masteries as Nunu revolve around improved jungling and tanking for your team. This means a defensive build. The best build I've come across is 1/21/8
The choices are pretty obvious (excepting the lack of utility mastery).
I choose tenacity and imp smite over utility mastery for two main reasons. One, blue and red buffs are nowhere near as important for nunu as for most junglers. With careful use of visionary (your passive) you should have no mana problems, and lizard helps but is just icing on the cake. Secondly, I rarely get red and blue buffs after level six except if stealing from the enemy jungle. Nunu is great for ganking with red buff and ice blast, but ice blast alone rocks for ganking. And who doesn't want your twitch to have that red buff? After my initial ganking phase I always make an effort to give blue and red to my team's carries, not hog them for myself. Regardless, late game I find Tenacity makes a huge difference, and early game imp smite gives the perfect timing for those early ganks and improves jungling efficiency.
(Edit: Reasoning behind lack of utility mastery)
-1/1 Improved Smite
-3/3 hardiness, 1/3 Resistance, 4/4 evasion, 2/2 defensive mastery, 1/1 nimbleness, 2/3 harden skin, 4/4 veteran's scars, 3/3 ardor, 1/1 tenacity
-3/3 perseverence, 1/3 good hands, 4/4 awareness
That's the exact build I use. You can always change it around a little bit, but the most important things are 21 points into defense, the 5% experience increase and improved smite.
-Full Marks of Desolation (Armor Penetration Red), Full Seals of Resilience (Armor Yellow), Full Glyphs of Focus (static Cooldown Reduction Blue), and Full Quintessences of Fortitude (Health)
I choose armor penetration runes over magic penetration for two reasons. one, this makes for much faster jungling especially early on, and you want to gank as early as possible on Nunu. Second, a surprising amount of Nunu's damage is physical. Especially early to mid game Nunu hits very hard, and with lizard buff it just hurts that much more.
Cooldown reduction blue means more consuming more often, as well as slightly quicker iceblasts. Armor of course means less damage from jungle minions. And health means, well, more health (this helps a lot with ganking early on too, between consume and your high health it's pretty much impossible for the enemy to turn the gank into your death).
Summoner Spells:
A few different combinations work well with Nunu. Most important is smite. If you are not running jungle nunu, while it CAN work, you should be ashamed of yourself. Nunu is too good of a ganker and jungler to be wasted laning. If your team already has a jungle you can almost always pick a more useful champion for the team, but as a jungle few are more useful.
The second summoner spell I like to use is flash. Flash lets you get into place for those extremely important ults, get that one ice blast needed onto a running enemy so your team can get them, or of course gtfo of a dangerous situation.
Why not ghost? Why, an excellent question good sir! Nunu already has a fantastic movement speed increase, and flash is so much more useful for positioning your ult.
Other summoner spells aren't really worth mentioning, who needs a heal when you have consume? Ignite on a Yeti? You'll just singe your fur. Revive? Lol.

This skill order is to maximize your slow and damage early game as much as possible, while maintaining jungle efficiency (2 ranks in consume is all you really need to jungle efficiently, especially after its recent buff). Blood Boil at level four allows you to keep up with people once they've obtained their boots and continue your ganking. If you have a strong physical character who seems to be carrying a game it can be worth it to get bloodboil ranked ahead of ranks in ice blast (people significantly underestimate the effect Nunu's Blood Boil can have on a character like twitch).
Item Build:
-lvl 1 boots +3 health pots
-Mercury Treads or Ninja Tabi (depending on enemy team comp, but almost always will be merc treads)
-Banshee's veil
After Banshee's it really depends on the enemies composition. Heavy or mixed attack damage? Sunfire Cape here we come. Pure magic damage? Hello Force of Nature. Usually by this point though the game is over or near over and your team's fate has been decided. Spirit Visage is another great item for Nunu and a good alternative to the expensive Force of Nature. It's cheap, provides MR, cooldown reduction and a buff to your consume.
The only situation in which you don't want a banshee's veil is if the enemy team has no interrupts (stuns, throws, silences, whatever) for your ult whatsoever. This will and should never happen, and if it does your team has already won so it doesn't matter anyway. Banshee's is the most important item for a Nunu, it lets you get your full duration ult off at most and makes then enemy blow more cds on you at the least.
Aegis of the Legion is also a good item on Nunu, and your team will love you for it. Careful getting this if the enemy teams damage ends up being mostly of one type (fed twitch or annie) as it can set you back a little on your focus on resistance to that damage type. This is especially true if the enemy is predominantly physical as you already still have to grab the banshees which doesn't help significantly versus attack damage.
My average item build is usually something along the lines of:
-Mercury Treads
-Banshee's Veil
-Sunfire Cape
Games usually don't allow for much more than that, but if they do it is usually either another Sunfire (this helps with damage as well and tower diving) or Force of Nature.
Potions potions potions! Do not forget those sexy elixirs. 75% of games, once I've gotten my three primary items I will try to get one elixir of fortitude and one elixir of brilliance. These make a huge difference and can be just what is needed for that final push with your team. Wait to pop them right before a major team fight or tower dive and prosper.
Starting in the Jungle:
-Start at the wraiths. Smite the big one, white hit one of the small ones down and when it dies consume the third and white hit the last down.
-Run down to golems and consume/white hit one down. You will level and have iceblast, that and another consume will deal with the second golem. You might use a health pot here.
-Now do lizard. Consume immediately and use ice blast any time you have a free spell cast. Kill lizard with smite. This should bring consume off cooldown just in time to use it on the last small guy and you will be around 3/4 mana if you did it right. You will be level three. Use a health pot to top off your life as needed. While not using consume with smite to last hit lizard is slighty risky, few enemies expect such an early lizard and even when warded you do lizard often too quickly for them to respond. Using consume immediately lets you consume again before ganking, meaning you will be full life with a health pot.
-Now gank wherever looks good. From this point on you concentrate on ganking. Get Blue buff whenever you have the time and jungle in between ganks. In most games I'll have three or four assists/kills by level six or seven.
-Tell your allies that you will be ganking early! If they don't expect it they can't be prepared for it, may push their lanes too hard, etc.
-You should be able to dragon anytime after lvl 5 with consume and smite. Generally I will dragon after my first or second successful gank though. Once you've killed that pesky Garen don't be afraid to get the laner(s) to help you do dragon. There's no shame in getting help with dragon :P
-Level 1 boots combined with ice blast and red buff make for extremely potent ganks at level 3, when most people don't expect ganks for another 2-3 minutes. Also, those annoyingly hard to gank heroes like Kassadin and Nidalee can't yet get away from you and don't stand a chance. Even if you fail to kill them you can give your lane a strong advantage in beating them down and forcing them to play defensive.
-Nunu makes for a great tank mid to late game, and one that can't just be ignored because of his ult.
-Excellent chasing ability. Blood Boil + Ice Blast means anyone will be hard put to escape you and your chosen ally.
-Excellent buff for attack damage heroes. Blood Boil on a fed Twitch or Ezreal can make a huge difference. Always use bloodboil on the attack damage champion (unless helping another champion to run away)!
-Great clutch heal, there are almost always minions nearby. Don't forget to use consume when you are low in a team fight this has made the difference between dying and living more times then I can count.
-Can be frustratingly dependent on the rest of your team. This Nunu simply won't work if your teammates are too sissy to attack when you gank or follow you into a tower dive. You can absorb all their damage, blow their cds, deal out a good amount of overall damage with a well placed ult, and gank all you want but you can rarely finish anyone off on your own.
-Banshee's veil is an all but required item. Even if their team is heavy attack damage you need that banshee's veil if you want any hope of getting off an ult.
Using Your Ult:
Some of the most important tips for Nunu regard using his ult. Getting a full duration ult off on the enemy can make a huge difference, even with nothing but tanky items it does significant damage, and if you position yourself right you can take out 1/4 to 1/2 of three or four of the enemy champion's health. Absolute Zero isn't just about damage though, in fact it isn't even predominantly about damage. A good ult will win a teamfight.
I Just Love The Bush:
First off, use bushes! Bushes are your best friend. if you have an ally running from the enemy, go into the bushes ahead of where he is running and wait for them. when they get close start ulting. The only warning the enemy has is the slow and few ever notice it (when in the bushes they can't see the big red circle your ult gives off). Once they can see you it's too late to interrupt it and they can't escape. This can turn your carry running for their life into your carry cleaning up their team.
Getting the Enemy Excited:
Second, use your ult to make the enemy team blow their cooldowns on you. If they blow their load on you they won't have anything left for your teammates (in this case your team should prefer sloppy seconds). This is how I initiate most team fights, especially late game: I run in, often using flash to get directly in the center of their team and immediately start my ult. Not only does this slow them, allowing your team to close on them and chase them down, most teams will panic and throw everything and the kitchen sink at you. Guess what? Your carries now have free reign to do their thing without significant worry of retribution. From this point on just slow whoever is being focused or is running and Blood Boil your carries.
They Go Both Ways:
Third, use your ult to separate the enemy. If you see a chance don't hesitate to use your ult as a method of splitting your enemy apart. if you make three go off one way and two the other it just makes it that much easier for your team to pick a group and clean it up.This can be as simple as jumping into the middle of them and ulting (everyone tends to run for the nearest available exit) or putting yourself in between two already slightly separated groups)
Premature Zerofication:
Fourth, feel free to cancel your ult early! Too many Nunu's insist on seeing their ult to its full duration or fail to realize it still does a percentage of its damage when cancelled (the amount depends on how long you channeled for). if two of the three people in your ult are about to run out of its radius and it is 3/4 done, cancel it and let them feel the pain. Then you can continue your chasing and Ice Blast them to death.Think that Ashe is about to flash out? Cancel your ult and throw an Ice Blast to stop her from escaping. About to die? Cancel your ult and flash outta there. Frankly, a full duration ult is rare. Maybe one in three of four of my ults is full duration, and that is with very careful positioning and planning.
Wine And Dine Them:
Fifth, wait for the right moment! If the enemy Shen has his taunt up and Sion has his stun and Warwick has his ult, wait until Shen has taunted and Sion has stunned. Then act fast, get in there and ult. With your Banshee's on, waiting until their interrupts are down can be devastating for them. Take your time, let your enemy set it up for you and you will get what you need. Champion's like Shen and Sion get too excited in back and forths all the time and blow their interrupts when they shouldn't. Use that to your advantage.
I Just Can't Keep It Up:
A problem many Nunu's have sadly. The fact is, too many Nunu's use their olt frivolously. Nunu's ult defines him as a character, Nunu IS his ult. This means no blowing your ult without serious consideration. Please god don't killl a large wave of minions with your ult because it looks so very tasty (even I admit to beign guilty of this in my early days of playing Nunu). Just try to get the last hits and ice blast them down, or let that raging Sivir get all the kills. Early game, while you're still in the ganking phase feel free to use your ult on a single enemy, but late game save that ult for team fights of three or more (of course if you can guarantee a kill on two people with your ult that would otherwise escape, that would be worth it).
The hardest thing about Nunu's ult is, well, the amount of things you have to consider when deciding to use it. There's a reason this has become easily the largest section of the guide. At any one time you have to consider your visibility to the enemy, the enemies pathing, your allies condition/ability to clean up, your own chance of survival, number of interrupts the enemy has up, whether your banshee's is up or not, your enemies positioning, your team's positioning and your enemies summoner spells (did they all just use flash? Do they all have ghost up?). The ability to maximize the effectiveness of Nunu's ult is what separates the truly invaluable Nunu's from the Nunu's that have made everyone cringe when they see him picked in champion select.
Use Protection!:
Lastly, your ult can be used as a deterrent. You are your allies protection. Throw yourself in between a running ally and the ghosting enemy and start ulting. Rarely will anyone run into the ult, even if they can just jump in and stun you. This can be extremely useful for stopping multiple enemies from routing your low health allies if you are late to the battle or managed to remain relatively high health. Try not to do this too often though, usually ice blast will suffice and you want your ult up for those all important team fights.
General Tips:
So, just some general tips on how to play this type of Nunu. First off, this is a very aggressive playstyle. There is a lot of tower diving, a lot of chasing and a lot of ganking. You are the initiator, if you want all the glory of getting the kills don't play this character. If you are not gonna play aggressive do not play this character. You are there to ensure your team wins the team fight, but you shouldn't get too many kills yourself. For example, my last five games as Nunu I went 3-0-13, 4-0-10, 1-0-12, 3-5-15 and 3-1-22.
Oh yes, jungling. Consume is the single greatest jungling ability ever. Think of it like smite on crack. Consume is fantastic for stealing that enemy junglers buffs. Consume his red or blue, Ice Blast him and get the hell outta there with Blood Boil. Also, Consume mobs during teamfights to keep up you health. This will save your life more than once.
If you're not careful mana can be an issue for this playstyle of Nunu, especially early on (usually don't have blue buff until level four or five). To avoid mana problems try to only use Ice Blast (your most mana-intensive spell) when your free cast is up and use
Consume and Blood Boil when it is down. This applies any time you don't have blue buff early game.
Ward ward ward! As soon as you can grab wards for the enemy jungles red and blue buffs, and get a ward on dragon too. This lets you get there in time to annoy the hell outta their jungle by stealing every last one of their buffs. Nunu may not need either buff to efficiently jungle, but they don't hurt and other junglers DO need them. With smite AND consume it's hard NOT to succeed stealing them.
A note on running into an enemy in the jungle/bushes/rivers . If that pesky warwick runs into your jungle at level four or five and you're at half life or that Shen chases you through the river, don't run! Kite his ass with lizard and Ice blast, consuming mobs for health along the way. You can kill him this way or just slow him until your team gets there. Ping where you are kiting him/them to and your team can help you kill them. Turn running for your life into a kill. Anyone that runs into a Nunu's territory deserves the death they will likely receive.
The ward slayer! Consume can be used on wards. If you have an oracl'es to deal with that twitch or shaco then consume wards as you pass. If you're doing well grabbing an oracle's (even if they don't have a stealth) can be worth it just to consume all their wards at dragon, Baron and the jungle. If they always seem to know where your team is get that oracles and deal with the problem. Also, watch for new wards being put down. Every once in a while a ward will get put into that bush you are sitting in. Don't just sit there looking pretty for it, act quick and consume it before it disappears.
Hmmmm, well that's about all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure this guide is all over the place, as it is the result of being tired and bored.
Hoped I've helped someone out playing my favorite hero in the game!
Questions/comments/suggestions appreciated.
Bigmantree out.
This spot is reserved for further information and tips on dealing with specific champions as Nunu. This won't address all champions, but will try to pay attention to the most commonly played counters to Nunu and champions Nunu counters. It will be added to over time. If there are specific champions you need help with feel free to ask and I will attempt to address them.
Just smile and nod as the mentally deficit alchemist that got turned into a puppy tries to convince himself he can hurt you. If Warwick attacks you in your jungle kite him with Ice Blast and Lizard while pinging for your team or simply chase him down as he limps away. Don't forget to consume mobs while kiting and chasing to maintain your health advantage.
When in team fights bait Warwicks ult with a well placed Absolute Zero. Making him use it on you and not your Ashe is a good thing.
At the same time, if you are trying to get a good damage ult off then wait until you know his is on cooldown or he is too low life to do anything.
Against a Warwick you can go jungle crazy. When your minions are all dead run into his jungle and do his, steal his lizard, or just harass him. Make sure to ward his buffs so you know when to go! Get one of your carrys to join you and get them those valuable buffs or get a Warwick kill. The poor mutt simply can't escape Nunu's Ice blasting and kitabilty, with no CC other than his ult.
Another of Warwick's strengths is his chasing ability, with blood scent and his q he can chase and tower dive low health targets easily. As Nunu you should be constantly slowing Warwick when he tries to chase. Between Ice Blasting the puppy and Blood Boiling your escaping ally Warwick can't do much of anything.
Twitch is a bit of a mixed bag for Nunu. He is an attack damage hero who has long range and high damage but no real escape ability beyond his stealth.
First, be careful while jungling. Mostly be careful at level one. One of the nice things about starting at wraiths is most people don't expect it of Nunu so usually nothing much to worry about there, but Twitch can be a nasty surprise before you have Ice Blast.
Once you have Ice Blast you are largely worry free from twitch ganks in jungle. Just make sure to stay above half life (you should always be anyway) and be careful if you fall lower. If Twitch pops out on you ping like crazy and Ice Blast kite/chase him as much as possible until your team gets there. If you have your ult and are at 75%+ health just jump on him and get a free full duration ult off if he has used or doesn't have flash. Full duration ult at any point early to late mid game will easily take 50%+ of the rat's life. Don't do this at low life though, as he can just sit in it and kill you while you attempt to embrace the heavens. Also, remember, Twitch doesn't have any significant heal whereas Nunu has consume. A consume can often turn a Twitch gank into a Twitch death.
In team fights you will usually want to dive straight for Twitch and Ice Blast him so the rest of your team can focus him. The presence of a Twitch also increases the usefulness of using your ult as damage, so watch for those important CC cooldowns on the enemy Shen's and Galio's.
The thing to be careful about with Twitch is that he can really Dish out the damage against a Nunu. Because you have to rush that Banshee's for your ult you usually don't have much in the way of Armor until mid to late game. This means when other heroes are tickling you Twitch can hit you like a truck. Just be careful and don't think he won't hurt just because the others aren't.
Last, BUY ORACLES. This is your job and you need to do it. It will help shut down twitch so much it's ludicrous not to do it. As a tank you shouldn't be dying much anyway, and Oracle's also allows you to consume all those pesky wards.
I still can't believe nunu sits so low on tier lists everywhere. He is an AMAZINGLY fast jungler. He's faster than WW even. I also don't think I've ever been afraid of running into an enemy jungler either. With a super low CD snare and a MS increase you can kill or escape from anything. Not to mention uber buff security/stealing with Q and smite. They must all be thinking of fail ap nunu.
One comment on the ult late game though. Mid game and early game its absolutely for ganks and kills. Late game you SHOULD use it before interrupts are blown. Nunu makes up with his lack of CC by being a CC magnet. Open a fight with your ult and you can be sure every single interrupt they have is coming into you. Whats better? those sion stuns on you or the ashe you've been feeding BB to?
EDIT: you covered this, must have skipped over it. My bad.
Also as far as skill order goes. I go Q E Q W E R. Fast rank of W helps cleanup faster in the jungle(we all know it takes nunu longer to kill the 2 caster adds than it does to kill the actual golem) and is much better for your lvl 4 gank after golem. I've had a lot more success with ganking when I have a point in W. You don't even have to give it to someone, just self cast in the bushes so you're guaranteed to get a catch.

Hail Mary full of pain
Brandon Shroyer was not to be stopped, on offense or defense.
The Tualatin senior threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a fourth at quarterback, then intercepted two passes as a defensive back in the Timberwolves' 47-21 defeat of McMinnville in Friday night's Class 6A Pacific Conference game at Wortman Stadium.
Grizzlies quarterback Gage Gubrud completed 16 of 27 passes for 236 yards, including touchdown passes to Darby Ramos and Grant Rubado. But Gubrud was intercpeted three times and lost one fumble.
Tualatin running back Eli Robinson had three touchdowns on the ground for the Timberwolves.
Tualatin (4-3 overall, 3-2 Pacific) opened the game with 21 straight points before McMinnville (4-3, 2-3 Pacific) rallied in the second quarter. Cristian Medina punched in a 3-yard touchdown run, while Ramos (five catches, 74 yards) caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Gubrud.
The Timberwolves needed 35 yards to score on the final play of the first half, and Shroyer threw up a Hail Mary. The pass was tipped and then caught by Tualatin's Nick Hines in the end zone.
"We started out kind of flat and that was a little disappointing," McMinnville coach Robin Hill said. "I don't know how many tipped passes that they caught that we didn't get any of. We didn't have any breaks but we've got to create our own in some ways."

Dayton 31, Amity 6
AMITY –Dayton spoiled the homecoming celebration in Amity tonight, topping the Warriors 31-6.
"They make very few mistakes," Amity coach Jared Hinkle said, "and they capitalized on the mistakes that we made."
Through the first half, the Warriors (2-3 overall, 1-2 Class 3A West Valley League) hung with their undefeated West Valley League rivals. They held the powerful Pirates offense to just 13 points and posted a touchdown of their own on a Brett Hilt pass to T.R. McShane.
In the second half, the Dayton offense started to roll. Connor Spivey led the Pirates rushing attack and finished the game with 15 carries for 118 yards. Quarterback Darren Ashley completed 14 of 23 passes for 136 yards and three touchdowns; two going to senior receiver Corwin Hiatt.
Defensively, Dayton keyed on Warriors quarterback Brett Hilt.
"He's a good player," Pirates coach Brodie Unger said, "We knew we had to keep him in the pocket so we created some sets designed to keep him in the box."
After a 200-yard, three-touchdown performance in Amity's last game, Hilt completed eight of 16 passes for 70 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Dayton defense also stifled Hilt on the ground, holding him to just 50 yards on seven carries.
"(Hilt) is a catalyst for us," Hinkle said after the game, "but they didn't give him a lot to work with."
With three minutes left, Dayton running back Tyler Clark took a hand-off and ran hard up the middle. Several Amity players were in on the tackle, but when the pile cleared after the play Warriors defensive lineman Jayson Taylor was still down. After 15 minutes, Taylor was taken off the field on a stretcher.

Program Structure and Curriculum
Overall Structure of the PhD Program
It is important to recognize that the educational experience of our doctoral program is unlike any other educational experience at the university. While undergraduate and master's degree programs challenge students to understand and apply ideas, theories and concepts developed by others, the Ph.D. program requires students to learn how to develop useful ideas, theories and concepts on their own, and contribute important new insights to current knowledge in the field. The training for creating such capabilities puts unusual demands on Ph.D. students' time and mental resources. For this reason, we look for applicants that exhibit a superior educational background, an aptitude for research, and high motivation for completing the rigorous requirements of the program.
Coursework and Requirements
The program involves rigorous coursework not only within the MHR department, but also includes courses in other departments of Fisher College as well as statistics, economics, psychology and other disciplines within the university. The coursework helps to provide knowledge on essential theories of the field, advanced research methods and approaches to empirical research.
Students complete all required and elective courses during their first two years. The total required credit hours to complete the PhD program is 80, broken down as follows:
In addition to the above, other requirements of the program include:
First-year requirements:
Second-year requirements:
Third-year requirements:
Fourth-year requirements:
First Year Exam
After completing the introductory required and elective seminars in non-major specializations, students will take an exam on these topics in the month of May prior to beginning their second year. The exam tests the student's understanding of the important theories and empirical approaches used in micro and macro research in management as well as those pertaining to specific specializations. Students must pass the exam to continue in the program.
Comprehensive Exam
After completing the formal course requirements at the end of the second academic year, students will take the Graduate School qualifying exam for their chosen area of specialization during the month of May prior to beginning their third year. The exam tests the student's detailed knowledge of the literature, including the important theories, models and empirical approaches used in this research. The exam is written by the student's Faculty Advisor, in cooperation with other members of the Exam Advisory Committee. Students will answer a set of analytical questions related to his/her major field. Students will need to demonstrate their understanding of the research questions dominating the literature as well as be able to provide new insights. In this regard, the exam is designed to test the ability of the student to integrate and make creative contributions to the literature, not just memorize it. The comprehensive exam consists of two parts--written and oral. Passing the comprehensive exam reflects the student's readiness to undertake dissertation research. Students must pass the exam to continue in the program.
Second Year Paper Requirement
In the first year of the program, the student will begin working on a research paper that will be completed during the second year of the program. The student will take primary responsibility for this project, but will also form a committee of two faculty members which will guide the student in developing a reasonable research question, theoretically derived model and hypotheses, as well as appropriate tests.
By December of the second year, the paper must be completed to the satisfaction of the committee members. After this, the paper must be submitted to a major national conference, such as Academy of Management, Academy of International Business, or Strategic Management Society. The submission deadlines for these conferences are typically in January and February. Acceptance of the paper into one of these conferences will reflect positively on the student's progress. In addition, the student will be expected to present the completed paper to MHR faculty members and other Ph.D. students during a departmental forum such as a seminar or brown bag series.
The student officially enters the dissertation phase of the doctoral program after passing the Comprehensive Exam. This phase of the program typically lasts for two years and is concluded with the final Oral Dissertation Defense.
The dissertation is a scholarly contribution to knowledge in the student's area of specialization. By researching and writing a dissertation, the student is expected to demonstrate a high level of knowledge and the capacity to function as an independent scholar. The dissertation is directed by a Faculty Advisor and Dissertation Committee chosen by the student. Working with his/her Advisor and Committee, the student is expected to develop and defend a dissertation proposal, complete the research with guidance from faculty, present the research in a departmental forum in preparation for a job talk, and complete the Graduate School Oral Exam to defend the dissertation research in front of the Dissertation Committee.
Expectations for Student Performance
Students must be prepared to contribute to our intellectual community, work hard, attend to program requirements, participate in research, be committed to scholarship, and support others.
We expect our students to:

During the Artic Sunrise tour in the Amazon 2003, Paulo Adario and fellow Greenpeace activists meet with communities from the Guajará river to discuss the creation of the Forever Green Extractive Reserve, in Porto de Moz, Pará state. The communities wanted to tell the loggers that it this is their land; their forest and they want them out. There were more than a 100 people, half of them children and several pregnant women. These people did not want any trouble; they just want their land back.

Sugary Drinks Responsible for 180K Deaths ... Per Year
(NEWSER) – As the soda wars rage across the country, anew study finds that 1% of deaths of obese adults around the world can be blamed on sugary drinks, USA Todayreports. That tallied up to 180,000 obesity-related deaths linked to an over-consumption of sweetened beverages in 2010; the figure includes 25,000 dead Americans.
The cause of death wasn't too much Pepsi: Rather, the drinks pack on the excess pounds, which up the risk of death from other diseases. Of the 180,000, more than 70% succumbed to diabetes, with 44,000 dying of cardiovascular disease and 6,000 of cancer, say researchers. Of the countries studied, Mexico was No. 1 in terms of number of deaths, with the US in third.

Personally I was set with the Ubuntu 10.04 kernel - since it was the first kernel (2.6.32 or something) that fully supported SATA port-multipliers for my Server. I would give up newer kernels for more development money thrown at Wine - in a heart beat... But then I then to sit on older hardware (a core i7 920 Nehalem-based system is my newest kit just now).
Or having to reconfigure stuff etc after every few updates does not count?
I recall once it randomly stopped booting with kernel panic, good thing I was too lazy to remove my failed self compiled kernel .. So I had something that could at least .. boot ..
Arch is also unusable to me without unofficial packages(be it unofficial repos, AUR or something else), which are, according to Arch developers, bound to cause problems.
It's cool and all. but needs you to try to tame it all the time.
~Happy Arch user~
I must be one of those strange cases that have no problem whatsoever with Arch. Same installation for the last 3 years. A couple of situations where i had to fix some problems when major changes occurred (well explained and documented on the arch linux site or the forums)Originally Posted by bobwya
I've been using SystemD for more than 2 years now. Although it's true that at the beginning it was a bit of a pain in the ass, it's been in a rock solid state for more than a year and a half. And of course this is Arch, you are going to have to configure your system so if you make mistakes like with everything else it'll go wrong. You read (what you should have done before and not after), you fix them, you learn, you don't make them again, and then everything goes more smoothly than you'll ever find on Bugbuntu. And you just don't go back.Originally Posted by bobwya
When we switched to mkinitcpio that one did it, until then I never had a major hiccup. I no longer use grub since that seemed to be the thing that went awry most often .The AUR is an amazing tool and I don't know why other distro's don't have an unofficial user maintained alt package base like this.
If you've been using systemd this long then perhaps you should be made aware it should be written "systemd" (correction I received some months ago from the ARCH systemd maintainer!!) - "SystemD" is not the correct name...
BTW I've had my ARCH install switched over to systemd for about a year. So I've given it a fair go before feeling I could comment (either way) on the relative merits of Init-V vs. systemd (Upstart will die some day soon like Compiz). Some people seem to feel able to dimiss systemd without even testing it all... In fact I did try and offer some fixes to the BASH completion script for systemd about 9 months ago... However I just got the brush off by the guy who does the ARCH systemd packaging... Not very community spirited IMHO...
Actually I read most of the ARCH and Gentoo Wiki pages in great detail (both are a bit lite on systemd detail IMHO). However my fstab get a bit complicated (as you can imagine!!) One little slip and a systemd-based system won't boot. That's just a fact - and is no fault of ARCH - it's simply how it's written. Perhaps there is simple switch so it doesn't just hang during boot - on a minor system configuration error (e.g. mountpoint for a non-critical FS partition does not exist). But not even dropping to a TTY console (like Init-V generally manages to do) - to do some quick repair work - is really unnecessary...
Also I thought systemd would magically/on demand mount remote CIFS fmountpoints from my fstab file when I went to access them... However this is not how the lazy mounting works sadly... Personally I don't care so much about fast boot speeds (I boot of a Sammy 830 SSD after all). After boot KDE takes care of any speed gains I might have gained from systemd

Yes you can have a camp fire but Island Reach is not somewhere I would choose for a winter camp.
I have not forgotten, I do have a couple places in mind and am working through them.
June is five (5) months away, what's the hurry??
