Senior Member
Had several games where my team is up 15+ kills on the opponents. We literally have all our towers, they have only their last tower remaining outside the nexus, with both inhibs down.
What ends up happening is we are forced to teamfight just outside their platform attempting to push down their last tower. The time to kill this last tower can easily last 20+ minutes, when its obvious your team is the far an above winner.
Here are some issues I have outlined and possible suggestions to fix this.
Opponents are able to drag superminions up to the platform for the laser to kill.
- The laster should NOT target minions and minions should go back to attacking the tower/nexus when this happens.
The tower is just outside the platform. Ranged/Tanky champs can easily harass/attack you knowing they can quickly walk back to the fountain for quick regen.
- The fountain regen could be changed to needing to sit on it for 4 seconds before activating.
- You could also move the tower to the other side of the nexus so its not next to the fountain.
stupidity is an even bigger issue
most "omfg i lost due to turtling" games were actually lost due to stupidity
if your up that many kills just tank the tower it goes down pretty fast with at least 1 ad heavy champ
My solution to this problem is to just bumrush the turret and give up a few kills. It's worth it if you don't wait too long to do it.

for me:number one for model.
She is doing live cam shows under the name CurlyCandy18 on MFC www.myfreecams.com/?baf=334269
(US flagged) "Wish the mods would lay a smack down on the way people abuse these comment sections with no regard for what they are meant for."New/concreter rules have just been added to deal with this problem.
@Nickname1 It's not easy as you said. But the controversial part is that those models have already worked with the sites (Hegre-art, Met-art etc.) which have not attempted to restrict access from some countries at all.
From eurobabeindex:
KikiUnfortunately I had to block some countries for models' privacy. And my privacy too;)
If you're ashamed of what you do, you shouldn't be doing it.
A sample photos from Yonitale posted by Kiki. Interesting stuff for those who can't access Yonitale.com (Czech Republic is blocked, for example)
There is no more though is there? We've all seen all the nude sets this girl has done. We are at the cutting edge, the new frontier. Her blowjob videos are what everyone has been waiting for... xxxxx
Wish the mods would lay a smack down on the way people abuse these comment sections with no regard for what they are meant for. Rather see no comments than this endless whiny crap of guys bitching rather than helping others find more by the models.
And now , what's next?
[removed by Webmaster: troll post removed]
[removed by Webmaster: link violates copyrights]
Blowjob=Pornstar. . Fashion? you must be kidding
I remind you that Vanessa is currently a model not a Pornstar, expect something more than blowjob or his personal pleasure is already a lot, maybe in the future will leave the world of fashion for the hard road, but now it's not so
Acording to the Yonitale interview she is already on the BG side of the road, lets wait a few months.
One was expecting Lamborghini supersport and received tractor ? hehe :D
Joke aside, new movie is indeed kinda "yawn", but it's exactly what would have been expected - BJ from inexperienced virgin (and from that point of view it looks authentic, which is rare in porn production). I only wish there would be 3rd movie that would show progression towards more passionate/erotic moments.
it's better a solo video with her than this bj
What's with the hype? It's just a blowjob...
nothing on the mouth?tongue?face? :)
preview site updates at 0:00 GMT and 8:00 GMT (If I recall it right). And yes, there's a cumshot: www.eurobabeforum.com/download/file.php?id=123209
at what time during the day do they usually update?
will we see some cumshot?
looks good :)
It looks like a very sensual and erotic scene from those few bits I have seen. Delicious. Can't wait :)
tiny piece of moving trailer see link:sexyge.com/trailers/26-12-14_da.mp4
MEKiq, thanks for the preview, too bad you can not see them all:-(as you can also see the latest?
Thanks MEKiq,only 4 more days!Happy holidays to everyone.
The image set "A date in a shower" is up! lioness.wowgirls.com/search/query
Thanks for the update, MEKiq!Only 8 more days!
Movie from the BJ shower scene ("A Date In A Shower") will be up at DEC 27-th
But no one has anything new?
Yonitale has a 2 day full download membership for $3. She takes 2 fingers from another girl in one vid. Haven't seen the new one yet, so I can't comment on any toys. Waiting for part 2 to be released.
Yonitale seems to provide a lot of interesting video stuff featuring her: www.youporn.com/watch/10541011/paula-shy-vanessa-cayla-lyons-and-other-beauties-in-yonitale/
www.yonitale.com/en/backstage.phpchek this she have some good previous , but we need the full videos
site is down. Mirror of the image?
oh, and just type https:// before the link or it won't work, I guess.
I think rus is referring to this picture:
I have looked everywhere on the net but I haven't found it. Looks like she might get penetrated with that dildo in that video or in those pictures. Does anyone found anything on this? It's supposed to be out since December 8th. But I haven't found anything. Can anyone help?
rus: As far as I can tell, yonitale.com has only lesbian & solo action. Am I missing something?
some one can share the videos of she in yonitale.com she lose the virginity:D
Thank you guys for the info. You guys rock!
it's about fuckin time! :D
Ali, I am reffering to Diesel network. wowgirls, 18onlygirls, wowporn. Since photoset from that second BJ will be released at dec 22-nd, movie will be up about one week later (I suppose they won't postpone it like the "First time experience")
The pictorial is coming Dec. 22 on wowgirls.com!
MEKiq, do you by any chance have more pictures or something? I searched but I didn't find any additional stuff. And where can I find this Diesel site? Thank you for your help. I really hope you're right with your estimate for this month. It would be fantastic!
Colbert, do you expect I have some superhero powers so I can affect Diesel's schedule or what ? I just "datamined" preview pictures. Their naming scheme is the same for each set, it isn't hard to see lil' bit beyond the curtain and see what is next on the list. My personal bet for release is december or january. But that's only mine estimation. Diesel is releasing their sets partially ad hoc, not in the direct sequence.
No, no, don't hate on Mekiq. He's a hero!In fact we need more info and material like he provided us with.
Fuck you Mekiq... you shouldnt have told us like four months ago...
Me too, bro. I've been checking almost daily. Vanessa along with Natusik, Carisha and Lorena Garcia are among my top favorites. I can't handle it anymore... The wait is unbearable... I'm gonna freeze myself and cryogenically sleep for the next 6 months or so. Better than this torture!
This wait is killing me! Been checking daily for over a month...
Does anyone know the approximate date of the release of the shower bj scene or has any other material, pics, info...? Anything? The wait is pure torture!!!
I wish that video for christmas :)
this is such a ridiculous wait time
wow...looking forward for the release
Any idea where/when we can watch the trailer?
Any idea as to when the vid will be uploaded?
so true colbert..
Might be one of the longest waits in my life.
is it bj only or fucking, too??
It seems video (10909) will emerge few weeks after trailer (I am not insider, they just uploaded few additional thumbnails from the footage).
omg, this is teasing from heaven. what a girl!
Great stuff
Few thumbs from the shower BJ are uploaded on the preview server already. So gallery is somewhere in the schedule under number 10880 (in case of wowporn it may take few weeks till it hits front page)
where's the second BJ scene evidence?
gfpmatrix, that would be super awesome. please let it be true!
How do you know about the second BJ scene? Looking forward to it, if that's the case.
Second BJ video will be released on Wow Porn soon!
For a long time nothing new. Hopefully her "career" is not over yet.
She has to do more b/g stuff!
i agree. she's extremely beautiful. let's hope she continues!
Someone was asked her, when she was online on mfc 3 months ago and she said it hasn't done any other b/g stuff, but it's possible in the future. Hopefully she don't quit this. I'm actually surprised she did that b/j scene. Stunnig girls like her usually end up soft only.
did she do any other b/g scenes besides the bj for wowgirls?
thank you
Her account is still on mfc, but she hasn't logged since july there.
Some days ago saw her on Chaka street, Riga, Latvia at troley stop.
she is no longer registered on myfreecams.com :´(
she`s very nice girl
fantastic young girl. seems she is lesbian model.
She's Elina @ scandi-girl.com
Fantastic model. Amaizing. Waiting for next sets with boys.
It's glorious!
it is online!www.wowgirls.com.updates.html

Woodmancasting rumour seems to be a wrong alert:
wowgirls anounced BJ movie release date 07 may 2014
any other nude pics from dis girl
She's on MFC: www.myfreecams.com/#CurlyCandy18
a scene at woodman is a hoax
I still believe that BJ scene appears.And her performances in Woodman? Was it something?
on rare occasions women will do a scene/photo shoot that is hardcore and the have the company then not release or remove the contents. it depends on what's going on in their private life.family or new boyfriend generally affect these decisions.
A mouth watering fortaste www.pichunter.com/gallery/3406157/Horny_model_sucking_dick_in_the_garden
me too... seems to have vanish from the web... strange
It's a film version of her BJ photo shoot that was already released.
just a bit of FYI, according to an Admin at Wowgirls, she has filmed a BJ scene and asked that they not release it until a certain, specific day in May. There's a small chance we may see a bit more from her after that date.
What is her name at Woodman?
I don't see this girl doing a triple anal penetration. Maybe a simple DAP.
What is the woodman evidence? [edit by Webmaster: real names aren't allowed]
Joe, be patient!
where is the woodman evidence? [edit by Webmaster: real names aren't allowed]
Soon will be Woodman casting with 2 naughty boys.
A blowjob for wowgirls. Good start.
she looks better with straight hair :) not curly
"upcoming bj scene at wowgirls" with Izzy Delphine? That's all?
Thanks, her pages are now merged.
We are waiting
She is still working at live chat?
upcoming bj scene at wowgirls
She's here to find:94291/vanessa-57
This is also "new model" Adel C @ Met-Art
@Svens, we give people the freedom to use foreign languages. It would be a shame if that freedom would be restricted because some people abuse it.
same girl: 94038/adel-o
same girl: 94291/vanessa-57
Shes looking good at this site... lots-of-sex.com/index8.html
maybe the same model as 94038/adel-o

text: Social Study shows Twitter lags other social networks in reliability, load time July 23, 2010 3:37 PM Kim-Mai Cutler 0 Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015. GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Under stress from heavy World Cup traffic, Twitter fell to the bottom of the rankings that compare site load times and reliability for social networks, according to AlertSite today. "Performance dropped significantly compared to Q1," the company said. "The time it took the website to load nearly doubled, and availability slipped nearly half a percent." The company, which offers products to keep web services at peak performance, tracked the response times of five social networks and services, inlcuding YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook for 90 days. Twitter took more than four times as long to load as Facebook, at 4.54 seconds compared to 1.02 seconds. LinkedIn was a close second behind Facebook with an average response time of 1.28 seconds. AlertSite said MySpace improved dramatically because it was accessible 99.98 percent of the time. Twitter has had a difficult month; the World Cup broke its records for tweets published per second. At the same time, the company's engineering team has been making changes to Twitter's technical infrastructure. The company said it made more than 50 improvements during the games to raise its network capacity. VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying email marketing tools. Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Jack Black to Star in Michael Winterbottom Comedy (Cannes)
Jack Black is to star in Michael Winterbottom's Bailout, a comedy based on Jess Walter's novel, The Financial Lives of The Poets.
Walter penned the screenplay from his own novel which details the story of one man's attempt to come back from the brink of financial ruin after meeting a couple of losers in a late night supermarket.
Ealing Metro International and Prescience, financiers of Oscar winner The King's Speech have boarded the project to finance and handle worldwide sales.
Winterbottom will direct Bailout, which is set to shoot in August 2011, in the U.S.
The film will be produced by Michael Besman, Melissa Parmenter, Black, Ben Cooley and Priyanka Mattoo for Ealing Metro.
The Revolution (Parmenter), Ballyhoo (Besman) and Electric Dynamite (Black, Cooley, Mattoo) production is in pre-production and being touted to buyers at this year's Marche du Film.
Winterbottom said Walter's script achieves the "rare feat of being funny and true at the same time."
Ealing Metro managing director Will Machin noted Bailout marks the first fresh project for Ealing Metro after the recent merger of Ealing and Metropolis/Prescience's respective sales operations.
Machin told The Hollywood Reporter that the film is a good example of the sort of U.S. independent commercial projects "that form a major part of the ambitions for our slate."
Black and Winterbottom are both repped by WME and Winterbottom also by Greg Hunt of Independent Talent. ICM's Ron Bernstein reps Jess Walter.

Warner listed as starter
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner was active for Sunday night's game against Minnesota and was listed as the game's starter.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter first reported Warner would play.
NFC West blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
The team made no official announcement but Warner practiced all week and said his post-concussion symptoms had faded.
Warner had practiced all the previous week, but sat out last Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tennessee because of lingering symptoms from the concussion he sustained Nov. 22 at St. Louis.
The 38-year-old quarterback had started 41 consecutive games before missing the Titans game.
"He's experienced no symptoms, and he's feeling much better," Warner's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told NFL.com. "The Cardinals are taking every precaution, but I'd be very surprised if he didn't play."

A world of options for the Devils
Last year's draft host, the Pittsburgh Penguins, made one of the biggest splashes on draft day by shipping center Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes, a deal that stunned the home crowd.
This year's draft is in New Jersey, but Devils GM Lou Lamoriello didn't sound like a guy who was altering plans just because the draft is in his city.
"Our preparation for the draft is the same thing as if we're going to another city," he said when we chatted last week. "The only thing we do have to worry about is maybe our own scouts coming in and being at home and the distractions of being in our home town."
The Devils own the No. 9 pick in the draft, which opens up a world of options for Lamoriello. There is a pretty clear consensus on the top five players in the draft, but things open up after that. Some scouts believe there are a solid 40 first-round talents in this draft, which gives Lamoriello plenty of flexibility when it comes time to make his pick.
That might be part of the reason he's very open to trading it.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y – Founders of the Westchester County Anti-Trafficking Task Force, led by Pound Ridge Police Chief David Ryan and Town Board member Ali Boak, came together last week for an educational seminar for lawyers and other members of the legal profession.
The seminar, which focused on human trafficking, was attended by members of the Westchester Women's Bar Association, the Pace Law School Criminal Justice Center and the Pace Law School Continuing Legal Education Program.
"Training, educating and awareness-raising is a critical part of the task force work," said Boak, special adviser to the task force and one of its founders. "Human trafficking isn't new to Westchester County; law enforcement just didn't know what to look for. That is changing."
Audrey Stone, second deputy district attorney and chief of Special Prosecutions Division for the Westchester County District Attorney's Office said that it's important for the legal community of Westchester to learn the indicators of human trafficking.
"This is an issue that happens all over the world, including right here in our own backyard in Westchester County," she said.
Lauren Pesso, director of the Human Trafficking Program for My Sisters' Place, a Westchester based not-for-profit offering shelter and services to victims of domestic violence and trafficking, concurred, noting that since 2009 her organization has been referred over 120 cases of human trafficking and continues to see an average of about one case per week.
"Human trafficking is an important issue and we are fortunate to have this task force and its expertise in our county," said County Legislator Peter Harckham (D – Bedford). "The [County] Board helped fund training for key responders around the county in March 2011."
Ryan said the Task Force will step up its police training efforts later this year.
"The Task Force is in the midst of planning some special training for law enforcement this spring focusing on investigative techniques in human trafficking cases," he said.

GTD is a highly curable disease. Women with hydatidiform mole have an excellent prognosis and women with malignant GTD (called GTN) usually have a very good prognosis. Choriocarcinoma, for example, is an uncommon, yet almost always curable cancer. Although choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor and life-threatening disease, it is very sensitive to chemotherapy. 85-90% of women with low-risk malignant GTD are cured by the initial chemotherapy and the remaining are cured by the use of stronger combinations of drugs or surgery. Similarly, 85-90% of women who develop high-risk malignant GTD are cured by chemotherapy used together with the selective use of surgery and radiation. Approximately 10-15% of women with high-risk malignant GTD will develop drug resistance after prolonged chemotherapy. This group is made up of patients with stage IV disease that involves distant organs such as the brain, liver and bowel. Specially designed chemotherapy treatments using drugs that have been shown to be effective against other cancers are being employed to prolong life for many of these women.

thyme and taleggio scones
Neither Tom or I are fond of food shopping, yet for some unknown reason we have never ordered our supplies online using one of the many delivery services now available. I finally tried this the other day, and of course made the mistake of failing to adjust the default units under which some items are measured. This rookie error resulted in the delivery of a kilo of taleggio cheese. I required just 100g to make a tart, and was now in possession of 10 times more than the recipe required. . . . Tom had a good laugh, and Bruce kindly offered to help out by devouring the excess, but, I reminded him (as I often have to) that dogs don't eat cheese.
Unfortunately, taleggio is a substance with limited uses, and not really the sort of cheese you can just chow down on wholesale — it is quite strong and salty and very squashy. What to do?
Well, I just made taleggio scones for lunch, and they turned out so well that I thought I'd share the recipe!
There are a few key things to remember when making these:
1) stick the taleggio in the freezer for half an hour so that it hardens up
2) cut the taleggio into small pieces
3) do not work the scone dough in any way. Just bring it together and plonk it down on your floured surface.
Thyme and Taleggio Scones
(Makes 6 or 7 large scones)
6oz / 170g self raising flour
2oz / 56 g butter
3.5 oz / 100g taleggio
ground black pepper
sprig of thyme
5floz / 150 ml buttermilk
Put taleggio in freezer for 30 mins
Preheat oven to 180c / 350f / gas mark 4.
Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the thyme leaves and the ground black pepper.
Take the taleggio out of the freezer and cut into small cubes. Using your hand, mix it lightly into the breadcrumb mixture.
Add the buttermilk, and, using a butter knife, stir the mixture gently until it starts to come together.
Bring the mixture together carefully with your hands into a rough dough. DO NOT KNEAD, OR OTHERWISE WORK THE DOUGH!
Place dough on floured surface and lightly press to 1.5 in thick.
Cut out scones with pastry cutter.
Place on floured baking tray and bake at centre of oven for 15 mins, or until golden.
Eat warm.
Well, that's 100g of taleggio down, only 900g to go . . . .
a few days in Cartmel
A pretty Cumbrian village . . .
. . . festive windows . . .
. . . and doors.
Ben, the friendly cat . . .
A fine local food market . . .
And a wonderful birthday meal.
In case you are wondering, the food at L'Enclume was just as amazing as you might imagine. We didn't look at the menu, and really enjoyed the delicious surprises that all (ahem) seventeen courses of the tasting menu afforded. This was incredible food, impeccably presented, but I never felt that its theatre was pointless. In fact, in general L'Enclume struck us as being refreshingly grounded — from its use of local ingredients and suppliers, to the warmth and complete lack of stuffiness of its staff. As our holidays and meals are usually done on the cheap, camper-van style, the whole experience was a real treat for us and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Like me, my friends in Ireland like their TEA. The two most popular Irish brands are Lyons and Barry's – and loyalties are hotly divided over the two brands. Certainly, everyone in Ireland I've spoken to about tea knows which they prefer. I am a person of strong opinion where tea is concerned, so Eimear recently sent me both brands so that I could make up my mind . . .
So, on the left, we have a pyramid-shaped Lyons teabag, and on the right, a more traditional rectangular Barry's teabag . . .
The packaging of both brands is actually weirdly similar . . .
I took a good slurp of both and decided that the winner is most definitely . . .
I found the taste of the Lyons strangely familiar – the shape of the tea-bag, and the fact that it is distributed by UniLever leads me to wonder whether it is, in fact, essentially the same tea as PG Tips?
I do not know whether Barry's has a UK brand equivalent – it did not taste familiar, and I have tasted many, many teas. To me it seemed a good afternoon tea – "brisk", as it says on the packaging – and I'm definitely looking forward to drinking my way through the rest of the box. Mmmmm. . . tea . . .
You will note that was nothing objective at all about this experiment: a blind tasting is pretty much impossible to conduct solo; there was no control; I had my suspicions that the pyramid-shaped bag contained PG Tips before I tasted it; and perhaps, too, I am drawn to Barry's because I find the name vaguely amusing (Barry (as in Barry-The-Tramp) is the shorthand in this house for a stubbly face that needs a shave). Anyway, I hope I've not offended any Irish readers in the Lyons camp!
And while we are on the subject of experiments, I want to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to Tom, aka Barry, whose important new work on B-cells and MS is currently climbing up the immunology charts as the "most read" paper in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. WHOOT!
There is no getting away from the fact that I've had a rough few days. Please try not to have a stroke, people: the long term health implications of it are really bloody annoying. Sometimes the process of recovery itself can add further problems to the myriad medical issues that follow a brain injury, and this has certainly been the case for me. This particular issue concerns the instability of my pelvis, and my general (in)ability to get about, and as well as being in quite a bit of pain this week I've been feeling rather angry and frustrated. Will this shit never leave me alone? Unfortunately, it probably won't. The only thing for me to do is to properly face up to the fact that a stroke is, in effect, a chronic condition with which I am now living: however determined I am, my mobility is now going to be seriously compromised for the rest of my life, and I have to deal with that. Easier said than done, sometimes. I often find myself thinking of Patricia Neal and her hip replacements.
I'm not keen on myself when I'm maudlin, and I'm quite sure no one else is either, so I find myself with not too much to say today. Here are a couple of cheering things.
I love this so much I can't stop knitting it. The yarn is the stuff I showed you recently and it is just. so. bloody. tasty. I am making some things from it which will be out in pattern form next month, so I will be able to show you the right side reasonably soon.
Tom baked hazelnut shortbread. When baking anything containing nutz, it is, of course, obligatory to sing several verses of the old Louis Jordan song, Nuts to You. At least it is round here:
"We've got walnuts, chestnuts – all the best nuts –
Every kind but donuts
Brazil nuts, peanuts, we will see nuts
Till we really go nuts."
Where was I? Oh yes, Tom's hazelnut shortbread. It is very good.
You will find the recipe on p. 948 of Nigel Slater's Tender, vol 2, or below in an abbreviated variation, rendered without Nigel's linguistic excesses ("large, unruly balls" being a notable feature of his original).
Butter 170g
golden caster sugar 100g
skinned hazelnuts 60g
ground almonds 40g
plain flour 200g
icing sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 160c.
Cream butter and sugar together till fluffy.
Toast hazelnuts in a dry frying pan until golden, then pound with mixer or pestle & mortar until coarse.
Add the nuts & flour to the butter & sugar and stir until the mixture comes together.
Take a teaspoon, and divide mixture into twelve blobs.
Place on non-stick baking sheet and bake for about 25 mins, or until the biscuits have risen and begun to colour.
Remove from oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes, before lifting from the baking sheet and dusting with icing sugar.
Enjoy while still slightly warm, with a nice cup of tea.
I've been out for a nice long ramble with Bruce. It was raining.
As long as I have a) a good waterproof and b) non-leaky boots, I rather like walking in the rain. There is nobody around. The world looks different. Everything smells good.
Bruce got to splash about in all sorts of wet stuff with complete impunity.
Almost as good as a long walk in the rain is coming in and drying off from a long walk in the rain . . . with a giant cup of tea . . .
. . .and a scone (bizarrely, my biscuit disaster seems to have kindled a baking phase).
Have a nice weekend, everyone!
thought for the day
I was after a needlecase, and found a nice old one on ebay. I always like it when these things contain their original threads and notions. But what really drew me to this particular case was its prim little maxim:
These lines are conventional, and may appear elsewhere, but I know them from William King's poem, The Art of Cookery (1708), notable for its enthusiastic celebration of eighteenth-century British food, "squab pie" and "white pot" and "Leicester beans and bacon, food of kings!"
"Happy the Man that has each Fortune tried,
To whom she much has giv'n, and much deny'd:
With abstinence all delicates he sees,
And can regale himself with Toast and Cheese:
Your Betters will despise you if they see
Things that are far surpassing your degree;
Therefore beyond your substance never treat,
'Tis plenty in small fortune to be neat."
Well, I'm off to make a PIE.
domestic incidents
Tom was out cycling. However many mysterious gels and powders he consumes, he is always ravenous when he gets back. So I decided to "surprise" him with some tasty home baking.
Tom poetically described them as "little piles of cat sick".
