Never heard of the guy until he made that Irelia FOTM thread. Then a friend told me he's the top ranked player in LoL. Never met him, and I don't think I ever will. I watched his ELS stream 2 weeks ago. I thought, hey, since he's the top player in League of Legends, maybe there's a billion things I could learn from him just by watching him play and see how I can use his tactics and apply them to my games. I don't know if he or Reginald stream their games, if so, I'd love to see it.
Almost every day, I hear one person that says "HotshotGG sucks". Occasionally, I've seen a lot of Hotshot hate threads popping all over the place.
Ran into this nidalee guide on Leaguecraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qH3yFijZJs
So, anyone wanna tell me, what's with the hate? I'm not trying to suck his thing or nothing, I just wanna see what a new player can learn from him.
(Funny how I bought Nidalee and Irelia on the same day.)
A LOT of people hate him because of his attitude. I watched his livestream many times and hes negative (by trolling his own team) by swearing them out, calling them noobs, etc. Others just dont like him because they are jealous of where he has gotten and feel they are at the same level or better than him. IMO, I prefer treeeskimo's livestream because he is more positive and talks more about mechanics which is how I got to 1524 ELO.
Heroic Bunny
He's got a bad attitude.
Turns people off.
Are you watching his livestream right now? Thats why I hate him. He ****s up and then takes out the rage on his team.

Three to see: Parade, Living Room Session and hip-hop at the Crocker
The David Mayfield Parade
9 p.m. July 10
Sophia's Thai Kitchen
If you refuse to participate in the call-and-response vocals of David Mayfield's "Trapped Under the Ice," he will know it – and he will call you out. He may also come out to the patio and dance with you. Or run across the street from Sophia's and sing to Davis pedestrians. For one of the goofiest performers you'll ever see — there's not much he won't do – Mayfield doesn't let his relentless shtick distract from the warm and whimsical folk rock ditties spun by him and his affable band. Doors 8:30 p.m. 129 E St., Davis. $5. www.sophiasthaikitchen.com.
Art Mix: Hip-Hop
5 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 10
Crocker Art Museum
Andru Defeye's "FLOW Sacramento" series is perhaps local hip-hop's most exciting current happening, featuring vivacious New Orleans jazz-flavored beats as Element Brass Band backs a rotating cast of guest emcees and vocalists. A regular at the Press Club and Assembly, FLOW takes over the Crocker Art Museum for a performance as the centerpiece of a showcase evening of all-things hip-hop in conjunction with the Crocker's current exhibit "African American Art: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, and Beyond." Also featured will be video, DIY beats and lyric-writing workshops, pop-up side performances throughout the gallery, and some art talks. 216 O St., Sacramento. $10. www.crockerartmuseum.org.
Erik Hanson's Living Room Sessions
8 p.m. July 10
Old Ironsides
Time has come around for an installment of Erik Hanson's Living Room Sessions series. Hanson (of the Foxtails) started the monthly series with the simple concept: Bring a vibe of friends playing in the living room to a public venue. He's joined every second Thursday by a couple of local songwriters (this week, Peter Barker and Matt Woodcheck) to play some originals, tell some stories, engage in a little banter and just see what happens. 1901 10th St., Sacramento. Free. www.theoldironsides.com.
Looking ahead: Hot Buttered Rum. July 25 at Harlow's
Kind enough to regularly treat Sacramento to a couple of shows a year, Hot Buttered Rum is the Bay Area's most popular bluegrass outfit – and dare we say the most popular in California as well? 2708 J St., Sacramento. $15. www.harlows.com.
Join the Discussion
The Sacramento Bee is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news.

Before & After: $15 IKEA Hack Turns These Floor Lamps From Drab to Fab
Amit had been using these two IKEA floor lamps for TEN YEARS — ever since senior year of college. From dorm room, to first apartment, to the first home, which Amit moved into about a year ago. But while they functioned great, they were drab — boring office gray with a plain white plastic shade that disappeared against the new house's gray walls. After renovating and buying new, mid-century modern furniture, Amit realized a makeover was needed to keep these ultra-functional lamps lighting up for years to come.

Back to Work: Desk Lamp Shopping Guide
Do we really ever grow out of the 'back to school' routine? I think for many of us, September will always mark that time. Even if you're not in school or sending any of your mini-me's off to learn, it's still a great time of year to regroup and re-organize your working space. Whether you work from home or in an office, you likely spend a lot of time time at a desk and it can't hurt for it to be both functional and stylish - especially if it's in your home. Here's a roundup of stylish 'grown up' desk lamps to help you when you're working late.
Easy Weekend Task: Looking at Your Home's Natural Light
It's something we're always talking about having more of. It's the sort of thing we seek out when looking to rent or buy a home. It warms our rooms, brightens our spaces and uplifts many of our days. Have you ever watched the natural light as it filtered throughout your home during the day? If you have plans to stay inside your home this weekend to relax, you might consider observing your home's progression of natural light for a number of reasons.
Movie Studio Style Lighting: Under $250
How to Properly Light a Bathroom
As with the kitchen, the bathroom is a "work room," and therefore one of the most important spaces in the home to get lighting right. They also tend to be smaller than all the other rooms in our home, and don't have as many (or as large) windows. Careful consideration of the General, Task and Accent lighting we add to this room will pay dividends in how the area functions and feels.

Flowers are great and I've never turned down chocolate, but easily the best part of Valentine's Day is getting to catch up on your favourite romantic comedies. This past year has brought a new batch of fave rom coms, from zombies to strippers and a little blast from the past.
Check out #MuchLove's top five romantic comedies from the past year and spread some love on our #MuchLove section. We've got playlists, galleries, blogs and even Valentine's Day cards! And we want to know who or what do you #MuchLove! Use the hashtag and tweet us @MuchMusic or tell us in the comments section below!
5. Safe Haven
Safe Haven doesn't technically hit theaters until today and I technically haven't seen it yet, but it's a Nicholas Sparks film. Technically speaking, it's going to be cheesy, romantic and super cute. I will probably cry. And then I'll watch it five more times this week.
4. Magic Mike
One of the best parts about Magic Mike (aside from the obvious 'parts') is the love story between Channing Tatum's Mike and Cody Horn's Brook. Mike is a romantic at heart and isn't put off by how put off Brook is with his career. Brook doesn't make things easy for Mike, but he puts in the work to show her that he's not just a guy with a great, great, great (great) bod.
3. Titanic 3D
I don't think I need to explain this one. It's Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in 3D. AMAZING.
2. The Perks of Being A Wallflower
Previously one of the most underrated coming of age stories, Stephen Chbosky's breathtaking look at a young boy trying to navigate his first year in high school while dealing with a dark past finally got its time in the spotlight with the film adaptation. From friendships to first loves, The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a coming of age romantic comedy that leaves a big impact of its viewers.
1. Warm Bodies
Half of the world's population has turned to zombies and the surviving half is doing their best to not get eaten. When human Julie and zombie R find themselves face to face during a raid, it ignites a recovery in R that begins spreading. A hilarious modern day Romeo and Juliet, except in this story, Romeo dies at the beginning.

The newest Kingdom Of Sorrow album...
by Metal Shop
posted Jun 9 2010 3:47AM
Is the best thing you will hear this year...
Okay okay okay, maybe that's going a little bit too far with my excitement over how bone crushingly awesome this record is, so how about I just say it's going to be a staple on the weekly playlist until the disc breaks or gets stolen!
So, you might ask, who is Kingdom of Sorrow? For those not yet initiated with their greatness, Kingdom of Sorrow is one half Crowbar and one half Hatebreed, taking the groove of the former and mixing it with the straight forward crunch of the latter.
Their new album is called "Beyond The Blackest Tears" and is available now on Relapse.
They have a couple jams from the album posted
Check em out and give them the support they deserve! Until next time...horns up!

The Broadleaf by Don Gardner
Hello GW'ers,
Has anyone either built The Broadleaf by Donald Gardner or perhaps seen it built somewhere in your area? I have Googled it and cannot find anything but the plan.
We would have to make some changes to the floor plan. This is where GW experts would come in!
We love the exterior rendering, just hoping it looks as nice in person.
Many thanks!
Chibimimi, thank you for your comments. Yes that is a crazy place for a bathroom. (I've seen many Gardner and Betz homes with a bathroom at the front). One of the changes we are hoping to make is to have a study there instead, extending the length of the house on that side. I'm hoping experts such as Summerfield will give their opinions, as we are just guessing this can be done when there's a walk-out basement to consider.
You are correct there is no upstairs. I have seen a lot of one storey homes with fake dormers and I don't really mind them, adds a bit of interest. However I would like to know how people plant and water a window box that is so high up when there are no stairs! That's why I'm still hoping someone has built this house, so we can see how it really looks.
We just love the look of this house, it just needs a few major changes. Thanks again for your comments, we do appreciate them.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Broadleaf by Donald Gardner

HAVE: Heirloom Tomato for pepper seed trade (have tomato/want pe
Hi. I have a future brother-in-law and father-in-law who love hot peppers and would like a variety of them. Unfortunately for them I gave away a lot of my existing hot pepper seeds to others who asked for them over the past couple seasons.
I have a few types of hot pepper seed, but both guys have enough land for a good number of plants and I want to hook them up if I can.
Anyway, if there's anyone out there willing to part with an assorted slew of 3-5+ seeds of some non-bhut-level hot pepper in a quantity of 3+ types then I can swap the same for some of my heirloom tomato seeds.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested.
If you only have 3 to offer, but want more than 3 types from me that's fine as long as I have it to offer. Some seeds I have in smaller supply than others. Almost all of these I have in a supply of 20 or less seeds because they were either gifted to me last season or I don't grow them in heavy seasonal rotation and I tend to give a lot of seeds away.
Available (all are indeterminate):
Australian Oxheart
Black Krim
Giant Roma
Giant Italian Paste
Linnies Oxheart
Ramapo F6
Sicilian Saucer
*note: Giant Roma and Giant Italian Paste are both decent tomatoes in their own right (and best suited for cooler climates as their mid-summer output is low in warmer areas), but while they might have been "giant" for their time they are definitely not giant.

In the West, the governments are likely to be bankrupt but the people are relatively well off.
In China, the government is Rich but the people are poor.
If the Chinese people are given a choice, which system they would rather live under?
Common, relax!
US, Japan, EU, UK, all have massive debts. They have to monetize debts at some point. This means that there will be massive inflations. China is holding currencies of these countries. So the actual value of Chinese reserves is just a small fraction of the reserve.
Amassing too much reserve is not a good idea. They better spend them now.
@Macmartin - of course, it should be the PIIGS, we mustn't forget Italy. Lighten up, like the BRICs or "Celtic Tiger" it's a terrible coinage from an economist and guess what, they're all horrible when it comes to telling countries how to run themselves.
I think the point of the article is that is a lot of money but like the million dollar note of Mark Twain not necessarily much use. Could China actually buy any of the things listed? It needs to get out of dollars as quickly as possible and needs trading partners who will take those potentially worthless dollars of its hands. Land and resources in Africa look attractive - things get tight at home you can always let people explore "the New World".
With that and China as the Numero 1 gold producer, Hu Jin Tao is surely the Mega-Croesus of all time.
I agree, I feel that most of those reserves will be spent on increasing China's military substantially. It's already growing by leaps and bounds, and most likely more than the published figures if you go through the list of projects and accomplishments.
China will have a massive force in about 20-30 years time.

Japan (Sony) bought Columbia Pictures years ago at its height of economy prowess. Can you picture China to buy Paramount or Dream Works without some federal act of the US Congress?
The difference is that Sony is a Japanese company, but NOT a state-owned Japanese company. I realize in 2011 it is silly to discount the close relationship of any large MN with its sovereign government, but this is still a far, far, far cry from the state-owned Chinese companies, where senior managers often are also on govt committees and are essentially govt. figures in all but name. From arranging power deals, land deals, setting wages, dictating competitors, free financing, and interconnectedness to other govt run companies, when a state-Chinese company tries to buy something it is buying it for the People's Govt.
To contrast, if the USA government tried to buy a Chinese company of anything, there would be a huge backlash. That is and will continue to be the difference.
Yonkers, New York
14 April 2011
The Economist may have some difficulty deciding what to buy with China's vast hoard--over US$3 trillion as of last count!--of foreign exchange.
But I have reason to think that China's leaders must know how to use that vast treasure.
First of all, it will give priority to investing in enterprises and businesses designed to absorb the hundreds of millions of people in the rural areas who are now caught in the clutches of Poverty.
China is determined to be the world's No. 1 economic colossus in the next 20 years or so; to achieve this objective, it will need a whole gamut of minerals and raw materials and foodstuffs which it will acquire in immense quantities from wherever available--from Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, South America, Oceania, the Caribbean--and, where possible, invest in these countries and enter into long-term contracts with suppliers, and offer prices which suppliers will find attractive.
In the event, China will of course need to protect its long-term investments as well as contracts with global suppliers. It will do this by creating a Military Establishment which, in due time, can project its power regionally as well as globally.
Already, China has its first aircrft carrier, one that it bought from Ukraine. Once China's growing Navy feels competent enough in the operation of an aircraft carrier and its complement of all kinds of aircraft, China can be expected to build more aircraft carriers--and, in all probability, nuclear powered.
Only recently, China made it a point to show the world that it already possesses a stealth aircraft which looks very much like the U.S. stealth fighter--only larger in size. It also made a big media splash showing a huge missile designed, the reports said, especially to destroy a Nimitz-class super-aircraft carrier. Not too long ago, China demonstrated successfully that it has a missile which can shoot down any of the satellites now orbiting the earth.
All of these will cost China probably anywhere from $1 trillion to $2 trillion. It will be money well spent as far as China is concerned. By the time China shall have spent the maximum in the range, $2 trillion, she will have increased her hoard of foreign exchange reserves by at least another $1 trillion--and that should still leave her with a huge balance in the order of around $2 trillion.
Mariano Patalinjug
Instead of the State hoarding all the money with nothing to spend on especially the risky US treasury bonds to please Hilliary and her gang, China should re-distribute the money to each and every Man, Woman and Child in the country. Many living in the countryside are still in relative poverty and can barely scratch a bare existence with their paltry income.
Money can buy Love, Love, Love especially from the piggies.
The problem with the money and how to spend it is that the purchases will be wasteful to some extent. Although it is the result of hard work and frugality, the sum is just too huge.
I agree that if they can buy soft power, they should. They should buy a Hollywood studio if possible -- and gracefully let Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, and Harrison Ford carry on with their antics -- and do a home grown version of Hollywood -- this could help fix piracy. How about buying up the teaching and research talents to teach and run labs at Chinese universities? What about incubating start-ups? Actually I remember an American foreign policy wonk/writer once suggesting that the Russians sell their Far Eastern provinces to China. How they would value the RFE would be an interesting exercise but the Russians sold Alaska, so it's not a far-fetched idea (pun slightly intended).
Whatever the Chinese buy, though, they should do it with some humility and avoid being seen as conquerors.

No, and not to take away anything from the hard work, smarts and achievement of Japanese people, the difference is that only Japan is a proxy state of the US judging from so many US military bases and troops stationed in Japan, permanently.
And don't get me wrong, many Asian countries do welcome the US to keep its leash on Japan, permanently.
The difference is that Sony is not Japan. But say, Sinopec, is China.
China could buy the country of Pakistan and put them and the rest of the world out of their misery. Pakistan has already sold its soul to China anyways, so they are likely to be receptive to such a deal.

I believe CCP government is trying to do the right thing with its trillions of foreign reserve.
Sure, investment mistakes were made and costly lessons learned. But dear Economist, thanks for your imagination fantasy. China's investment direction is where I wanted it.
That's the way unha unha I liked it.
@ ari g - and then one could open the window and watch the pigs fly bye (no offense Mac maRtin). China socialist? It is only socialist when it suits the government. In fact it is only 'anything' when it suits them. Right now China is a dictatorship arresting free speech activists, but tomorrow they will tell us they are communist and the next day capitalist and the next day anti-imperialist and the next day.....
@ reconst - good idea, but considering the value of that purchase, the Chinese still have $1,999,999,999,999.99 trillion in change
Perhaps the economist should have made comparisons to purchasing assets of developing countries, or investments to uplift developing countries. With that kind of money China could easily upgrade most developing countries into (at least) middle income, which could be a good investment when those middle income countries turn around and buy more Chinese products.
But that is just me dreaming. China has no intention of uplifting developing countries....
Uhm, FX reserves are just that, reserves. They can't be "spent." They can be swapped for other assets that can be kept as reserves, but they are not a piggy bank. They are just something on the asset side of a CB balance sheet. Would it be wise to invest them properly? Yes. but they can't just buy illiquid assets with them. Those reserves are what is used to defend currencies when liquidity crises spill-over to FX markets. they are vital to keeping FX markets in range and must be kept liquid.
Please Do not refer the group of Spain, Greece, Portugal, ireland as "PIGS". It is quite offensive. Thank you
Everybody wants to get their filthy hands on Chinese money. The money rightfully belongs to the average Chinese. They had worked worked and sacrificed tremendously, earning below what they ought to have been entitled to in terms of a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. Beijing should return part (at least 30%) of the gains from this huge reserves to every Chinese above 18 years of age. The average Chinese citizen had been living beneath their means subsidising the rich In China, America and Europe. It's about time, Socialist China lives up to its name and make the next Spring festival a memorable festival with dividends to the Chinese citizen "shareholders" of "China Inc.", backdating to 2009 and 2010.

Radioseven :: An Escape
Anonymous Canadian electronic producer Radioseven that we posted about previously here is back with a new EP entitled 'An Escape'. Just like the first material he sent us it is a beautiful slice of electronic instrumental loveliness. In particular I'm digging the tracks "Stellar Cartographer I" and "To Be Young" that I'm posting below. If you dig these I'd head over to their bandcamp as the entire release is available with a 'name your own price' option. Score one for the people!

Over 500 workers from hot rolling steel mills in Wazirpur, who have been on strike since June 5, on Thursday surrounded the Labour Department Office, in protest against factory owners going back on an agreement signed on June 27 in presence of the Department officials.
Workers from over 20 mills surrounded the District Labour Commissioner's Office from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., while shouting slogans for their demands of a minimum wage of Rs.10,374 for skilled work, overtime wages, weekly-offs, and Provident Fund and health benefits to be recognised.
On June 27, District Labour Commissioner (South-West and North) had supervised the signing of an agreement between the workers and the owners of hot rolling steel mills. But the workers alleged that the gates were locked when they reached plants the next day, signifying that the owners had withdrawn from the agreement.
They also alleged that when a few workers entered the plant to begin work on Thursday, the owners locked them inside. Accompanied by a heavy deployment of State police, the workers then took out a procession to the District Labour Commissioner's office in Nimdi Colony.
"What was signed by the employers and workers on June 27 is a legally-binding document. Employers want to now go back on their word. We demand that the administration take action against them," said trade unionist Ajay Swami.
District Labour Commissioner U.K. Sinha did not respond to SMSes for a comment.
"The strike has been on for four weeks now. Till they agitate peacefully, the workers will be allowed to protest," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-West) N. Gnana Sambandan.
In a note to The Hindu on the signed agreement, Additional Labour Commissioner Rajender Dhar had listed details of the negotiation between the two parties. "With the intervention of the Labour Department, a large number of workers have been ensured minimum wages, statutory records, on time disbursement of salary, facility of leave, bonus, working for eight hours, safety equipment to the workers concerned wherever required and coverage under ESI & PF. Violations, if any, can be brought to the notice of the Department for further necessary action on defaulting employer."

"So, NOT, Red Dawn"
I've never read the books only listened to them, but they're on my wish list.
Yes...and I did.
I've already suggested this series to everyone I know as a great listen.
"This is NOT a Red Dawn look a like!"
Intense, action packed, and absorbing.
When they venture into town for the first time after coming home from the bush.
I liked the voices she used for the different characters, you could really tell who was talking at any given time.
What would you do?
So many people have likened this to the 80's classic Red Dawn and just isn't. This goes beyond Red Dawn in so many ways.
I saw the movie, Tomorrow, When The War Began, first decided I really needed to find out if there was a sequel. Found John Marsden, and that there were all these books just waiting for me.
Red Dawn never made me this interested in finding out if there was more to the story.
I listened to the Tomorrow series straight through, then listened to the Ellie Chronicles and now I've restarted listening to them all over again, right after I'd finished the series the first time.
It is a wonderful series full of every emotion and action packed.

CERES – It all came down to the buzzer for the Valley Oak League's top team that is looking to claim its four straight league championship.
CERES - After a slow start, the East Union High sophomore girls basketball team outscored Ceres 25-5 in the middle two quarters en route to a 39-19 victory Tuesday.
SALIDA - It was another day, another Trans Valley League victory for Modesto Christian Monday.
Making the adjustment from grade school to high school is a tough transition.
MODESTO - Lathrop High's wrestling team placed nine junior varsity wrestlers in the Enochs Tournament this past weekend.
After building a quick first-quarter lead, the Manteca High boys basketball team held its ground and took care of Sonora 73-58 Saturday in Valley Oak League action.
WESTON RANCH – Things are continuing to fall into place for the Weston Ranch boys basketball squad, which added another Valley Oak League victory to its record with a 66-48 win over Oakdale Saturday.
Two games mattered to East Union's girls basketball team Saturday night.
CUPERTINO - It was the battle of the bigs when 6-foot center Lauren Feddersen and Ripon's girls basketball team met Monta Vista of the Central Coast Section for their annual non-league contest Saturday.
LATHROP - Evan Lewis sparked an 18-1 barrage that started in the second quarter and continued into the third with two 3-pointers, and East Union overcame an early deficit to beat Lathrop 44-40 in sophomore boys basketball action Saturday.
Kiwi Gardner doesn't have to score in bunches for Manteca High's boys basketball team to win, and that was proven in the Buffaloes' 77-68 victory Friday in front of a capacity crowd at crosstown rival East Union's Dalben Center.
After sustaining a first quarter Weston Ranch's boys basketball team could not have drawn up any better, the host Sierra Timberwolves were in position to put together an improbable comeback. Cougar guard Jason Steele lessened Sierra's chances with a huge steal in the waning seconds of Weston Ranch's 66-63 win Friday.
RIVERBANK - The flu bug and Riverbank couldn't slow Ripon's boys basketball team Friday in the Indians' second Trans Valley League contest.
The Sierra High sophomore boys basketball team opened its Valley Oak League contest with Weston Ranch a little flat but played an inspired fourth quarter, pushing the game into overtime before falling 69-65 Friday.
Shalane Jackson was a non-factor in the East Union girls basketball team's 52-47 loss to intracity rival Manteca in the third round of the Tom Hawkins Tracy Breakfast Lions Tournament on Dec. 29.
Anand Hundal once again came up short of his first career triple-double in Manteca High's 69-37 shellacking of visiting Oakdale in a regular-season finale Tuesday.
East Union is peaking at just the right time.
RIPON - Rod Wright could sense this loss was coming.
RIPON - Ripon Christian players jumped off their seats on the sideline and joined the five Knights on the court to celebrate their clinching of the Trans-Valley League outright title Friday night.
There will be little drama in the Valley Oak and Trans-Valley leagues tonight when the regular season comes to a close for Manteca area boys and girls basketball teams.
STOCKTON – Chris Teevan plopped down in his office chair, flipping through the scorebook.
Six local wrestlers finished second Saturday in the Valley Oak League wrestling championships at Sierra High school.
It is nice when you control your own destiny.
STOCKTON - The Wolf Pack spilled out of the stands, washing the court in blues, grays and whites.
RIPON - Ripon Christian garnered its fourth league championship in five years Friday night, but no one would blame the Knights for relishing this one a little more than the rest.
Ryan Shippley knows how to get a team moving.
Lathrop couldn't overcome a lackluster start in a 61-44 loss to visiting Kimball on Friday.
Jim Agostini sauntered back into Winter Gymnasium alongside assistant coach Rick Marsh, and as the door closed behind them their East Union girls basketball team could be heard celebrating a much-needed 58-48 win over Manteca on Thursday.

Elisabeth Alexander found her stroke early and never lost it.
