Version 0.75 Date April 10, 2004 KB 235 Walkthrough completed up to the Snowfield. A few formatting changes but not much else. I'm gonna try and get this walkthrough done by tomorrow.

Version 0.60 Date April 9, 2004 KB 219 I completed the walkthrough up to the Torture bit. I should be finished or just finishing up the walkthrough come Sunday. I coudn't update the guide yesterday because I went to the Yankees game (home opener! w00t!) and I didn't feel like FAQing afterwards. I'll have more tomorrow. I had stuff going on today too so I didn't get as much as I had hoped for. Version 0.50 Date April 7, 2004 KB 213 Finished the walkthrough up until the Underground Passage. I added in a few small things here and ther but nothing notable. Please take note of the fact that I am still developing good boss strategies so I pretty much just copied and pasted the ones from the old guide (with a few of the more obvious changes). So if you have any good strategies send them in! Version 0.30 Date April 6, 2004 KB 151 Just about everything except for the walkthrough and a few appendices is done in this version. *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ 02) Introduction *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ Firt off let me say this. This was a collaboration between me (El Greco) and Dark Angel based off of her Extreme Mode guide for the original Metal Gear Solid game. She co-authored that guide with another author, Liquid316. This is by no means my complete and original work. I must offer lots of credit to both of those authors. Putting that aside... Welcome to our Extreme Mode guide for Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes! This is a complete and total walkthrough for the Extreme difficulty in the game. But_be_warned, this is NOT a walkthrough for the Big Boss ranking, although it will help you along the way to it. This guide will take you through the basics of the game, the game itself (on Extreme mode... DUH!), and a few other things that you will find interesting or useful while playing the game. I would just like to make a small comment about this difficulty. I must say that Extreme in Twin Snakes is much easier than in the original game. All of the new moves and weapons from Sons of Liberty allow you to do things that you couldn't in the original such as diving somersaults, jump-out-shots, and FPV shooting. There has been a lot of change to the way the game can be played but the game itself hasn't been taylored around this. So I am wondering a little bit whether or not this guide is necessary. But alas... I am way too far into it to back out so I guess that I am stuck here. I'm sure that there are some people who completely suck at this game so this guide will help those poor souls. *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ 03) Game Overview [3GOV] *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.1 History of the Metal Gear Series [3MGS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =============================== == EPISODE ONE: METAL GEAR == =============================== Where it all started, this little game back in 1987 spawned the Metal Gear series, and introduced the legendary character of Solid Snake to the world. Developed by Hideo Kojima (this being his first game) and released firstly on the MSX in Japan, a home computer system well established in the country and Europe, but relatively unknown in America. It was later put on the NES for the US market, on Konami's Ultra Games label in 1988 (see below). In Metal Gear (set in 1995), you took control of Solid Snake, the newest recruit of the Special Forces unit FOXHOUND, then led by Big Boss. He is sent to Outer Heaven, to find out what happened to fellow FOXHOUND member, and their best member at that, Grey Fox. Fox was sent to investigate and gain further information on a new weapon of mass destruction that a mercenary group who took over Outer Heaven have apparently got their hands on..........enter Metal Gear, that big ass nuclear tank that Snake just can't stop getting messed up with from now on. So Snake goes in to rescue Fox and discover more about this Metal Gear. He enlists the help of Metal Gear's creator, Dr Petrovich Madnar (what a name....) to find out the machine's weakness as a way of defeating it. Down in the 100th basement floor of Outer Heaven, Snake succeeded in defeating Metal Gear and finds out the mercenaries who took over Outer Heaven were being led by no other than Big Boss himself, and that he was manipulating Snake all along, via his commandment of FOXHOUND. Snake then fights Big Boss and emerges victorious (was there any doubt?!). He disappears into the Canadian mountains and retires from FOXHOUND. Looking back, it almost sounds like a standard Metal Gear game storyline, but the game introduced a whole new genre of gaming, that of stealth fighting and espionage, a nice change from the Zelda games or guns blazing fighters of the time. It focused on killing discreetly, moving silently and avoiding guards, for if you were seen a flood of guards would come after you, with the only was to escape them to hide and wait it out. This would become the core of the later games in the series. Much like later games in the series, Metal Gear introduced the Codec communication system and on site acquisition of weapons and items. The game was ported from the Japanese version to the American NES in 1988, and was handled by Konami's NES label, Ultra Games. The conversion itself and translation wasn't handled by Kojima so some elements were lost in the conversion to the smaller NES cartridge, such as different maps and backgrounds and in the US version the eventual "villain", Big Boss isn't revealed until right at the end, before hand having players believe a terrorist called Vernon CaTaffy (another great name) is the group's leader, and gave us some classic quotes from the lousy translation such as "Uh Oh, the truck have started to move"" and "I feel asleep...". The original Japanese MSX version is generally thought of as the real version of the game due to poor conversion to accommodate an American audience, shame you have to be able to read Japanese to experience it..... The game became one of the biggest titles released in the late 80's in Japan, as well as the exposure to the American market led to the release of the sub standard Snake's Revenge (see later episodes). ============================================ == EPISODE 2: METAL GEAR 2: SOLID SNAKE == ============================================ Following the success of Metal Gear, it's sequel Metal Gear 2, was released in 1990 on the MSX2. It had evolved from it's predecessor in many ways, better graphics and sound, more depth in the game concept, as well as the inclusion of the radar system and Codec (a continuing essential part in the games in the series afterwards). The story of Metal Gear 2 was set in 1999, and had Snake setting off to Zanzibar where a military group had kidnapped Doctor Kio Marv, a researcher who had created a substance called Oilix, used to process crude oil, effectively solving the problem of diminishing oil supplies. Zanizbar then declared itself as controller of the world's energy and nuclear weapons, prompting the new commander of FOXHOUND, Colonel Campbell to call Snake back into service. Snake infiltrates Zanzibar Land, and meets up again with Dr. Pettrovich, the chief engineer of Metal Gear at Outer Heaven. He too was abducted to Zanzibar Land and was apparently forced to develop another Metal Gear. Snake also finds out that his former partner, friend and FOXHOUND companion from the previous game, Grey Fox is in charge of the Zanzibar mercenaries. Snake also discovers Pettrovich had ordered the abduction of Marv himself. Snake easily disposes of Pettrovich and recovers the OILIX formula. While escaping, he faces another Metal Gear, having been developed from the data in the remains of the one Snake defeated at Outer Heaven, four years previously. It is handled by Grey Fox, and even after Snake defeats Metal Gear, he and Fox fight in a hand to hand duel (sound familiar to anyone who has completed Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation??). Having finished off Fox, he also discovers that Big Boss had survived his defeat at Snake's hand before, and is back as the general commander of the military force at Zanzibar. The final battle commences, and even after discovering Big Boss is his father, Snake wins and flees Zanzibar in the midst of it's destruction, again retiring to the remote lands of Alaska. The second game in the series was another huge success in Japan, but a NES or other console conversion never happened, leaving the United States and Europe without an official release. The sequel continued the gameplay elements of stealth and espionage so prominent in the first game, as well as an engaging, suitably complicated and rich storyline that would also be a huge part of the later official releases. =================================== == EPISODE 3: METAL GEAR SOLID == =================================== The big one, the game that bought the series to the mass markets, of the United States and Europe. It was hyped for ages, with many-an- enticing trailer at E3, having been announced at the 1997 show, and released on the Playstation in 1998 in Japan and 1999 in Europe/USA. The technical developments of the Playstation over the MSX and NES, allowed Kojima to pursue movie like quality and the game went even further to being described as an interactive movie. Metal Gear Solid is set six years after Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, in 2005, where on the island of Shadow Moses, in Alaska's Fox Archipelago, a terrorist group made up of members from no other than Snake's old unit FOXHOUND, and demands the remains of Big Boss or they'll fire a nuclear weapon from a newly built Metal Gear that was being developed at the base. Snake is called back again by Campbell (no longer leader of FOXHOUND) to infiltrate the base, and neutralise the terrorist threat. He rescues the two hostages taken at the base, Kenneth Baker, president of ArmsTech (the company developing the new Metal Gear REX) and the DARPA Chief who was collaborating with Baker. Both die of what looks like a heart attack, but what is later revealed to be FOXDie, a virus carried (unbeknown) by Snake, to be used to take out the terrorists and retrieve Metal Gear intact. Working with Hal "Otacon" Emmerich, the chief engineer for Metal Gear REX, Campbell's daughter, Meryl Silverburgh, and a mysterious ninja who turns out to be Grey Fox, who was resurrected and kept alive by his cyborg suit, Snake succeeds in taking out the FOXHOUND members (except Revolver Ocelot who escapes - see Metal Gear Solid 2) and then takes on Metal Gear, piloted by Liquid Snake, who is revealed to be Snake's brother, both cloned from Big Boss's DNA. After destroying Metal Gear, Snake and Liquid fight atop the machine's remains, brother to brother. Snake emerges victorious and escapes with either Meryl or Otacon (there is a choice of two endings), but not before finishing off Liquid with FOXDie. Also, right at the end of the credits, it is revealed that Ocelot was a double agent, who talks with the President of the United States, but more is revealed in Metal Gear Solid 2. The game was (another!) huge success in all markets, and a PC version was released in 2000. It became a conversion of Metal Gear Solid: Intergral (released only in Japan - see The Others!!) an enhanced version of Metal Gear Solid that included extra VR missions. While it didn't do much to change the formula of stealth instead of straight out action in the game, the gameplay was greatly improved, using the technology to full extent. The 3D graphics allowed the feel of the game to be more intimate, with greatly enhanced guard interaction that the previous games all adding to the sense of tactical espionage that was essential to the game formula. ===================================== == EPISODE 4: METAL GEAR SOLID 2 == ===================================== Another very hyped sequel, especially after the success of the previous game. First seen at E3 in 2000 and a move to the Playstation 2, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty was released in 2001 in America and 2002 in Europe on the PS2 and released on the XBox as Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (see below) in 2002 in America. The storyline of the sequel has even more twists than the previous, so describing the story is going to take some time. Firstly, the game is split into two episodes, Tanker and Plant. Most of what happens in the Tanker episode, as well as links to what happened at Shadow Moses is explained at the end of Plant episode to give one of the most confusing, open ended yet philosophically endings of any of the Metal Gear games. After Revolver Ocelot stole the Metal Gear data at Shadow Moses, it was sold on the black market leading to a almost every organisation having their own version of Metal Gear. The story is set first in 2007 sees Snake return to investigate a new prototype of Metal Gear being transported aboard a tanker. Snake locates the tankers destination, and fights Olga Gurlukovich (Sergei's daughter), then proceeds ton the tanker holds to get photographic evidence of the new Metal Gear. The US Marines have developed the new prototype (Metal Gear RAY) as a way to combat the increasing number of other Metal Gears, but Ocelot and Sergei Gurlukovich (whose mercenary forces were guarding the tanker) hijack the ship and steal Metal Gear RAY. Snake's presence to Ocelot causes Liquid Snake to appear using his body, via his arm that was surgically implanted on Ocelot's arm grey Fox cut it off at Shadow Moses. ocelot also kills Sergei and the Marine Commander, Scott Dolph before blowing up the tanker and escaping on RAY. Later, photos taken show Snake on the tanker and he is branded a terrorist, blamed for sinking the tanker and for killing Dolph and Gurlukovich. Two years later, set in 2009, the second part of the game is played by Raiden, a new FOXHOUND recruit sent into the Big Shell plant that was set up over where the oil tanker sunk two years before, as a decontamination facility. Terrorists led by members of Dead Cell, Olga Gurlucovich and her mercenary forces (she took over after her father) had taken over the Big Shell, kidnapped 30 or so hostages, including the President, James Johnson, and demanding $30 billion or they'll blow up the Big Shell. SEAL team 10 is also sent in, allowing Raiden to make an unnoticed infiltration. The SEALS are wiped out by members of Dead Cell, Vamp and Fortune. Raiden also meets Lieutenant Junior Grade, Iroquois Pliskin, the only apparent SEAL survivor, and Peter Stillman, a demolitions experts. Together they set to disarm the C4's set on the Shell to blow it up, but after Raiden and Pliskin disarm them all, it sets off a bomb at the bottom of one of the shells, killing Stillman and flooding some of the shells struts. Raiden progresses to fight Fortune and then Dead Cell's demolitions expert, Fatman, as well as meeting a mysterious Ninja calling themselves Mr X and bearing a close resemblance to the ninja on Shadow Moses. Raiden moves on to the President's location, after fighting the leader of Dead Cell, calling himself Solid Snake. It is now revealed that Pliskin is actually the Solid Snake supposedly killed in the tanker explosion two years ago, and that the leader of Dead Cell is Solidus Snake, Snake and Liquid's brother and the third clone of Big Boss. Raiden gets to where the President's location, where he is killed by Ocelot, essentially stopping the terrorists being able to launch a nuke as they needed the President's vital signs to launch. Before being killed, Johnson reveals the existence of an organisation called The Patriots, the real rulers of the country, and how the Big Shell is really just a cover up for the development of the new Metal Gear, Arsenal Gear. Raiden heads to find Emma Emmerich, Otacon's sister, who has a virus that can take out Arsenal Gear's control system, GW. On the way he fights Vamp and leads Emma to the outer fence to get to the computer room to use the virus. But before Emma gets there, she is stabbed by Vamp, and eventually dies before the virus can have full effect on Arsenal. Snake and Raiden then board Arsenal, with the help of the Ninja, revealed to be Olga, where Raiden is tortured by Solidus. Raiden's real past is then revealed, being a child soldier for Solidus's army, who had killed Raiden's parents. Raiden meets up with Snake later, and then faces a fight with a large number of mass-produced Metal Gear RAY's that protect Arsenal Gear. The virus kicks in, disabling the RAY's and GW, Arsenal's control system, as well as revealing that the Colonel Campbell Raiden has been taking orders from is really just an A.I, an apparition produced by Raiden's brain. Snake goes after Ocelot, taken over my Liquid who is after the Patriots real names and locations, on a disc that Snake has, unbeknown to Liquid. Raiden and Solidus then fight on Federal Hall and the AI Colonel reveals the reality of the Patriots and the S3 Plan to control human will and consciousness, to save the human race from itself, to stop it drowning in the junk data now available to the individual due to technological advances in communication and information availability "unnecessary information and memory must be filtered out to stimulate the evolution of the species". They tell Raiden to kill Solidus, who intents to liberate the country from The Patriots rule. He does so, and eventually meets the "real" Rose (his girlfriend, and analyst throughout the game) who was also manipulated by the Patriots to collect information on Raiden, and replaced by an AI after GW takes effect. Snake also appears again, after Ocelot/Liquid got away and Vamp survives too (can be seen in the background in the ending sequences). From the list of the Patriots names, Snake has it is also revealed that the 12 top Patriots have all been dead for 100 years. The ending is left very open ended and lets the player draw their own conclusions from what has been seen. The game itself was received with huge sales, but there was great reservation about the inclusion of Raiden as a main character for the majority of the game, especially to those who had waited for so long to play Snake again after Metal Gear Solid. This lead to the development of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (see below). Graphically, the game was excellent, pushing the Playstation to it's limits, and a familiar return of many voice actors in the previous game. As usual the gameplay was essentially the same, but with the inclusion of a first person shooting mode, like the ability in Intergral to play Metal Gear Solid from a first person perspective. The PAL version of the game also had extra features than the American version, with a Casting Theatre (changing characters in selected FMV's), Boss Survival, extra dog tags to collect and the inclusion of a "making of" DVD. ================================================== == EPISODE 5: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater == ================================================== Here's a lengthy "summary" of the events in Metal GEar Solid 3: Snake Eater. _____________________ --- / VIRTUOUS MISSION / ----------- ��������������������� --------------------------------------------------------------- ** Precarious Situation ** --------------------------------------------------------------- The beginning of the game is a statement of world affairs at the time of Operation Snake Eater. After World War two the world split into two main parties, East and West, the Soviet allies and the American allies. This fact will be playing an integral role in the early parts of the story and the overall setting of the game. The game then progresses into the beginning scene of the game, a lone American aircraft is flying high over Pakistan to drop a single operative into the Tselinoyarsk region of the Soviet union. That soldier is Naked Snake, his mission is to locate and rescue a Soviet scientist who is requesting asylum from the west. Two years ago Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov asked for asylum through an American mole. His family was smuggled out of the Soviet Union first and then Sokolov followed a few weeks later. Major Zero, the man in charge of the operation was able to get him over the Berlin Wall undetected and into friendly territory. Sokolov took a few weeks to recover from the ordeal of escaping from the Soviet Union. Shortly after Sokolov recovered from his ordeal the Cuban Missile Crisis was in full swing. The Soviets had deployed Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles in Cuba, where they could strike at any city in the US. After the discovery of the missiles the American government demanded that the Soviets remove their missiles. Since, tactically, the Cuban missiles were of great value to the Soviets they refused. Standing on the brink of an all-out nuclear war the Soviets made their demand, return Sokolov. Weighing their options the US government acquiesced to the Soviets demands and handed Sokolov over to the Soviets a few days later. Sokolov hadn�t been heard from since. But just a few weeks before the Virtuous Mission Sokolov asked for asylum once again. This time the Americans had to go into Soviet territory themselves to extract Sokolov. And thus we get to the lone American operative Naked Snake, he has just landed in Soviet territory undetected via a HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) drop. Snake has already been briefed of the situation but his commander, Major Zero, introduces him to two more people who will provide him with advice and support throughout the mission. The second contact is a familiar one to Snake. It�s his former mentor, The Boss. We get the first glimpse of his complex relationship with her in this conversation. We find out that Snake hasn�t spoken to her in years, he�s surprised to find out she is helping him in this mission. He begins to ask, with some frustration, why she left him in the middle of his training. She responds simply, she was on a mission. She then tells him what it means to be a soldier, the political motivations behind war, and a philosophical statement that warns him "Today�s ally could be tomorrow�s opposition. Politics determine who you face on the battlefield." As we will see at the very end of the game, this statement plays a huge role in the story. Signing off his radio Snake makes his way to the abandoned factory where Sokolov is being held before the test of his newest weapon. Sokolov informs Snake that his newest weapon is nearing completion, and it is about to undergo a critical test. But Sokolov is panicked. He has been informed that the GRU is coming to capture him and gain control of his new weapon. After asking into this Snake finds out that there�s a man in the Soviet Union by the name of Yevgheny Borisovitch Volgin is one of the main forces in the opposition to Premier Khrushchev regime and he is vying for a weapon that he can use to gain control of the Soviet Union. Snake makes his way out of the factory with Sokolov but he is stopped dead by a contingent of KGB troops. They have him surrounded. Suddenly an unknown man enters. He is self-introduced as the Ocelot Unit commander, Major Ocelot, as he prefers to be called. He then quickly dispatches the KGB soldiers with his automatic pistol and summons his unit with a feline call. Ocelot moves to kill Snake as well but his gun jams on him. Snake takes advantage of this and makes quick work of Ocelot and his unit using his tranquilizer gun and

Publisher's Description
The Holy Spirit, a Divine Personality, comes to make His home in us when we are born again. Because of the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit, there is no need for any believer ever to feel comfortless, bereaved, or forlorn. There is also another work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life -- the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the believer to endue him with power from on High.
In addition to discussing this twofold work of God in a believer's life, this Bible Study Course also explains the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. These nine gifts are divided into three categories -- the revelation gifts, the power gifts, and the utterance gifts. As you study and learn about the ministry of the Holy Spirit, you will become a more effective witness for the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth.
Chapter titles include:
-- The Holy Spirit Within: His Indwelling Presence
-- The Holy Spirit Upon: His Infilling Power
-- How Important Is Speaking in Tongues?
-- The Bible Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
-- The Gift of Faith
-- Gifts of Healings

Pastor Hagin did a wonderful job of explaining about the Holy Spirit and His gifts. We all found it a very exciting and powerful study that helped teach those who were not aware of the work of the Holy Spirit and to help learn again of the foundational truth of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
I would recommend this study to anyone who has questions on this subject.
He is very thorough and lays a wonderful foundation of truth that is backed by page after page of Scripture.

Hagin was gifted in all his teachings and books. This study course is great to do by yourself or with a friend or as a group. Indepth Biblical scriptures back all his clear and simple teachings of the Holy Spirit. Easy to read. He leaves no area for confusion. For those who have not tapped into the power of the Holy Spirit within us, this is a must have book. Don't delay. Each chapter ends with 10 questions from that chapter. My book is highlighted, underscored and filled with references that I use often, pencilled in on the inside front cover. I have completed this particular study course three times with different friends and my eyes of my heart are opened more and more each time. It is packed with scriptures which is what draws me to his writings. I thank our Lord for directing Kenneth E. Hagin in his marvelous works to bring us closer to Him and His Gifts that are at our fingertips. The power of the Holy Spirit is available to us and has changed my Christian life a thousand-fold upon completing this course even first time. (Kenneth's other study courses are equally endorsed: Bible Healing, Biblical Prayer, Bible Faith.)

Hey guys, this is lucad and I'm quite new to LoL and to DotA-like-type of gaming so I still have much to learn. I started last week, so I only had the chance to play with the free rotation, but I really had a great time with Gragas and Soraka (I bought for the heals, more on this further).
I'm really mainly a party-player. Soling lanes seems to be a big no for me, so I need a few pointers around.
Aiming at a type of character right now, what should I be looking at? I really enjoy helping the game flow, not necessarily having the most kills, but mobility/survival are my things - be it healing or tanking. I'm thinking about taking a shot on Shen for his taunts and teleport, but I might be missing something better, so...
Any advices are pretty much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Senior Member
Amumu, Shen, and Rammus are the strongest pure tanks. Rammus has a lot of mobility (and is really fun), Shen has the teleport. Singed could also be a character you consider, he can run pretty fast and the flip thing is super irritating to play against / helps your team alot. There are a few tanky dps, but without real initiation skills people can just ignore you.
In terms of support, there are heaps of options. Taric can heal, helps heaps in a lane with his stun, and can push towers well, but isn't all that super mobile. Janna has heaps of utility and stuff for saving her teammates, and moves really, really fast (as a bonus, she can be built for damage too). Sivir pushes really really well, and her ult buffs her team for taking down towers / etc.. Morgana also pushes pretty well, can lane for a long time, and helps those around her quite a bit. Morganna and Janna can work either with someone else in a lane or solo (letting someone on your team jungle, which is really helpful).
tl;dr: try Rammus and Janna next time they are free.
e: and yeah I completely forgot zilean (2 posts down)
You should try Taric. He is not so hard to play, can do massive healing, stunning, stacks armor for your whole team and stack damage with his ult. If you like helping a team by healing, you should have fun with him since you'll heal your team ( and buff with your auras) and disable the enemy team.
Now, if you want a tanky - style you should indeed play with Shen. However, i find him a little hard to play ( you take some time to actually get along with his skills and survivability).
Other great tanks are Mordekaiser, Cho Gath ( if built right) , Amumu, Singed, Galio and Rammus.
For other supporters, i'd say Janna, Kayle and Morganna ( if built extremely right) are nice supports too
Shen is solid. Someone who kinda fits what you say you like are Janna and Zilean. Janna can absolutely disrupt the flow on teamfights with her hurricane and ultimate and Zilean can permaslow/speed revive, AoE bomb spam to impact them as well. Both a VERY mobile due to their abilities.
Tried playing Morgana for a while but didn't quite get the hang of her skills - same thing happened with Janna, I was unable to mantain survivability. I took a look @ Taric and he did, indeed, seem fun. Rammus on the other hand was my enemy, a few games ago, again looks a champ I'll have to try.
So for now I have a few in mind: Shen, Rammus and Taric. I think I'll take another look at Singed too.
PS.: I think I might have something against casters (Clothy-clothy), although my longest streak was Soraka's. Hurm.
kayle is definitely a fantastic hero, but she needs to be built hybrid damage/ap to be fully charged. id ry taric for sure though, hes a great all around hero with tons of support
Here's a guide that will help you get the hang of Janna. She's one of the best supports in the game, and very hard to catch due to her passive and Zephyr. You can build her many ways, AP, CDR, Tank, etc. (no DPS please) depending on what your team needs, but note that your playstyle and choice of abilities will change as well.
But otherwise, Kayle is next best according to your description.
Earlier I did some testing w/ Janna again before the rotation happened - did have fun, altough I felt the squishiness I was talking about. Late tonight I played Shen on a friend's account and my expectations managed to hold quite well - dying once on three consecutive won games might mean something.
I'll try Singed when I get the time to read his guides. I saw some in-game footage of him, and the character itself looks somewhat badass on his own. Any further info is well accepted, you guys've been most helpful this far.
I would recommend Shen for you. Shen was one of the first champions that I played. I felt he was a lot of fun. He is really healthy, so he doesn't die easily. He also can use his taunt to dash from one place to another. This can be used to get to an enemy quickly, get away, or save a friend! I also felt he was super easy to use, because he doesn't require mana! He is a very friendly champion to new players.

Any Given Day (A Keeping-It-Real House Tour On Video)
I thought it might be fun to walk around the house with the Flip cam and show you guys how each room can look on an average day. You know, before we pick the clothes up off the floor, put away Clara's toys, and fold the big blankets that we snuggle under on the sofa. So here's an impromptu house tour (while John and Clara ducked out to the post office and grocery store) in all of its average everyday glory:
Things to note:
- Ugh, I have a cold. Sorry about my annoying voice. Who am I kidding, my voice annoys me even when I'm not crazy congested.
- I'm terrible at walking around, talking, and holding a camera (too much multitasking, pardon the Blair Witch Project-esque jolts).
- For those who requested updated office photos in this post, you can see it in 3-D (well, almost) in the vid.
- Burger is so cute. I love how he comes running in and steals the show (and is later seen relaxing in the window).
- I have no idea why I take the time to explain Clara's music class kit. It's so weird what you think is noteworthy.
- You can sneak a peek at John's behind the sofa console project's progress. Oh and when I say it's not level and it slopes away from the wall, it's because our floors are slanted, not because John's work is shoddy (more pics and details on the big console build this afternoon).
- Yes, my ceramic pooch is still sitting on on the back patio. I just can't bring myself to let go of him yet. But I'm working up to it. One day at a time.
- You can sneak a peek at the two 30 x 40″ canvases that we got super cheap at Michael's (more details on our plans for them soon).
- I have no idea why at the end I'm talking about other rooms while walking back through the house and aiming the camera at the dining room and the kitchen (it's just odd to show the kitchen and say "the messy playroom"). It's official: I'm no Spielberg.
- My dramatic ending on my purse is beyond weird. What is wrong with me?
Here's some bonus "ordinary day" behavior. We always tell people how Burger sleeps like a human (with his head on the pillow and his body tucked under the covers) but people rarely believe just how hilarious this is. So here's some visual evidence that I snapped this morning. I promise this isn't staged. John got up first today, so I reached over and took some pics after Burger crawled up from the bottom of the bed to "steal" John's place and sleep in at least four more hours. What a life.
What about you guys. What would people see if you randomly shot photos (or a shaky nausea-inducing video) of your house before cleaning up? Anything embarrassing out there like a teddy bear in the bed or a man-thong on the floor? Thank goodness I put John's leopard one away before filming that video. Haha. Kidding. Sorry honey. I know just reading that is gonna make you all flustered.

Love this! I was almost starting to hate you guys… you seem just too perfect… make the rest of us just-gettin-by folks feel bad about ourselves. Just kidding! but really… thanks for keeping it real.
Love the tour! You have a very pleasant narrator voice Sherry!
Hahaha I love it. I recently took a picture of the livingroom with my new Nikon and was impressed by how much more room it picked up that the point and shoot. I was also distressed by the same feature, why on earth was there a towel hanging on the boot rack, and why did I not notice it until I took a picture?
Did I see Sue the Napkin in your purse or am I imagining things? I love knowing that you guys don't always have everything in its place. I definitely relate to that :) And those pictures of Burger sleeping in the bed cracked me up! Hysterical!
I spotted that and it made me giggle too – you got your dramatic ending in the form of Sue.
My old family dog used to sleep with his head on the pillow next to me :)
My dog sleeps the same way as Burger! I kinda enjoy waking up to her sweet little face!~ I think Izzy and Burger would be great friends. :)
Sherry, you're voice sounds EXACTLY like Mila Kunis! That's a good thing =)
Holy junk, you do sound just like Natalie Portman.
Thank you for that! I love your blog but sometimes it comes off as "look how prefect we are". I honestly didn't know that your home ever would look lived in. Great to know that your're human after all…LOL.
I disagree! While 'you' do always look so put together and organized, you don't come across as 'look how perfect we are'. It just makes all of us strive to be a little more organized ;) Thanks for making the rest of us feel good about our chaos though!!
Did I spy and apple green slipcover on one of your new parsons chairs?
Wait- I don't see the slipcover! When in the video?? My eyes were peeled the whole time.
Burger is the most adorable dog in the whole, wide world.
Cute tour. And, with your cold, I think you sound like Natalie Portman.
I also thought you sounded just like Natalie Portman, too. I just saw Black Swan and am still freaked out by it.
Haha, I thought the same thing about Mila Kunis … the very day after I saw Black Swan I found a small white feather in my four year old's ear!!! Talk about freaked out, but I think it was from a down pillow he was resting on during his nap. Thanks for keeping it real YHL! :)
Haha so cute! I have a manchester terrier (looks like a min pin) that does the SAME thing! She loves buring herself under blankets like Burger (I love your prior videos of him tearing up your bed), and gets pretty upset if the bed is made too tightly. She usually starts out the night buried at the bottom of the bed and gradually sneaks up to put her head on a pillow and sleep like a human by the end of the night. :)
The tour is great. Love the mess, it just makes you house look more real, alive and full of love. The photo wall is superb!
Seeing your dining chairs in video, yep I agree they need to be one colour they channel a rather hotel conference dull room vibe.
Small typo: Blair *Witch project :) Love the tour!
lol…it is nice to know that your house isn't always as pristine as it looks in the pics you post!! totally makes me feel better about the schoolbags and shoes strewn all over my house!! also, i love that you carry Sue in your handbag!! hysterical!! thanks for sharing!!
Burger is too cute for words!!!!
Thanks for sharing this. Your house is still beautiful, but it's actually lived in and I love that. It's also a good reminder for me to not get all up in arms if things in our house spend a little time away from their designated "home."
OMG. Our dog, Sophie sleeps like that too. It's hysterical. And BOY! She is NOT a morning dog. You wake her early and it's like the flames of hell shooting out of her eyes at you… LOL
My pup too! You'd think you are asking the moon just to get our boy out of bed before 9 AM.
thanks god! I was beginning to feel like a slob for never having my house pristine.
You know it's kinda like magazines where you think you're "supposed" to look like those models, and then you see them w/out makeup or airbrushing and you think, "Oh, they're normal! Why was I beating myself up?" So thanks, YHL, for keeping it real. That's why we love you.
My favorite comment so far!
Is that a different dog statue in your dining room?
Loved the tour!!
Loved the dramatic ending to the video – I think the cold meds were kicking in, lol!
lady, you've ruined the dream! just kidding! its truly a relief to know that i'm not as imperfect as i thought i was and you guys don't live in an oasis of calm happy tidy perfect space all the time :-)
"You can sneak a peek at John's behind…"
I really thought that bullet point was going somewhere else for a moment! ;)
Actually, you shouldn't have shown that video! Now, I am not going to try as hard to be so kept! ;oP
Also, do you ever disclose to your readers when you have a yard sale? That would be a yard sale worth going to! (For obvious reasons, like 20 million people showing up and shoving each other, I understand if you didn't.)
If you two ever get sick of blogging I could totally seeing you opening a high-end home decor/furnishings consignment shop together. It would fit right in with your frugal thing and then we could all come to your permanent "yard sale."
And, for some reason, my kids LOVE your videos. They are now begging me to replay the one of Clara and John from the other night. Maybe I need to break out some of the toys that are in storage or something . . .
Loved the tour….and Mila Kunis for sure!
Hi Sherry,
Sorry you're sick! :( Feel bestter soon!
The sofa console project look like it is really coming along. Any idea what color it will be?

The first project that I'm going to attempt *ahem*, yes, attempt, will be some fused snowflake ornaments, simple and easy, as I need to learn the properties of tempered glass in my kiln.
THEN, a bowl...
...but THEN...I'm going to attempt a tempered glass mosaic! Anyone have any great advice for me? I'm all ears!

Am I retarded or are there certain beers you can't pour a black & tan with? I currently have an all-grain version of Walker's Holy Grail Porter on tap (which is delicious), but when I try to use my Lagerhead Brutul to pour a proper black & tan it slowly drops into the lighter beer. I've tried using my own pale ale as well as molson for the tan part, but the porter just won't stay poised. Could it be a final gravity thing?
I even thought it might be overpressurized and dispensing too fast, but dropping the pressure in the keg down to 5 psi didn't even help. Any ideas?
FYI the porter finished at 1.011 and 5.2% ABV in case that affects anything.
It's Walker's fault.
Where the hell has Walker been? He didn't have another aneurysm, did he?
Ah, that explains it. Didn't think they let you guys out of the state.
Nevermind all their bantering, UNOmar. I'll get this thread back on track.
I believe it's the final gravity of tthe beer that determines how it stays on top. You have to pour the heaviest beer first and then the lightest. If they both have about the same FG, they'll mix pretty easily.
At least that what I think. Now back to being off topic.
FWIW, I agree with Brewsmith. Guiness is pretty dry, and hence it will float on a heavier beer. I wonder if carbonation could have anything to do with it, as well, but I'm one or two Chimays too deep to reason.
We had a big discussion about this a few months ago, and there was no consensus. Final gravity makes sense as the primary factor, as does differences in carbonation, and there might be other factors at work that impact surface tension. So... I don't know.
I didn't find the last discussion that was had on this, but from a purely physics standpoint there are only 2 reasons that 2 fluids won't mix together. Density (ie gravity) and polarity (this is the reason that oil and water won't mix even when shaken or stirred ).
Therefore, unless the 2 beers have a different FG you'll have a pretty hard time to get one to float on the other. The only way carbonation would really have an impact is in it's effect on the gravity of the finished product, though i think that would be rather minimal.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello Typophiles,
I've read the following statement in another
thread (Understanding the legal issues...):
Nathan Matteson:
"I think James is hitting it right on the head
here. I've been trying to get my school to buy a
decent font collection - even if only for two or
three "type specific" labs - for nigh on three
years now. We just had a good instructor quit
over the lack of type and the beaurocratic hoops
you have to jump through to [not] get it.
And the closest we got was our bookstore selling
the dubious FontSite CD. :-/"
Well, that statement came in good time. I've
been browsing the websites of many typefoundries
looking for a basic font CD collection to use
on everyday's work at my office.
I've considered all my options, from Bitstream
to URW, and they range from U$ 120 to U$ 500...
That was until yesterday, when I found both
Softmaker (Megafont XXL) and Fontsite (CD 500)
collections, priced as low as U$ 39 and U$ 49...
So, what's up here? I've recognized many fonts
under different names but I didn't get if those
collections are legal or even "ethical".
I'm planning to buy a font CD collection not
only to be "clean", but also because I want
to make sure that the designers would receive
their proper royalties. I mean, what would
Adrian Frutiger receive if I buy FrontPage*
instead of Frutiger?
I want to make clear that I'm not distrusting
any company/person. I'm just curious why and how
those similar font collections can have so
different prices.
There's a Brazilian proverb that says "o barato
sai caro", wich means something like you cannot
have something for nothing... (In fact, I guess
it's not even Brazilian, it's an universal law).
Best regards,
* This font equivalence was taken from Luc
Devroye's website.

The money they have consumed along the way certainly feels like wartime spending. Consider the initial-public-offering filing last month by Violin Memory of Mountain View, Calif., which has taken aim at the traditional storage equipment, known as arrays, sold by EMC.
Arrays are specialized computer systems that pack together multiple disk drives to store corporate data.
Violin's mission, CEO Don Basile in July explained to me, is to "fundamentally change the economics of enterprise storage." And to take down a giant. "We have one competitor at the end of the day; it's EMC," says Basile.
Violin's revolution doesn't come cheap. Since its founding in 2005, it has consumed $250 million in funding. Despite sales last year of $74 million, it lost $109 million. It has amassed a total deficit as of July of $262 million.
Violin is one of dozens of outfits in the Valley arguing that the disk-array technology is vulnerable to the new machines they're building using flash memory chips, the same kind of chips used to hold songs on an iPod. Flash chips are faster than the spinning magnetic platter in a hard drive, allowing them to dramatically accelerate the retrieval of data.
Flash is also more expensive than disk drives, but Violin and others argue that it is so much more efficient, a customer ends up buying less storage in aggregate. "The interest in all-flash arrays is significant among end users," says Natalya Yezhkova, who follows the market for research firm IDC. "Companies feel even if they need to spend more up front, they will save in the long run by not having to buy these extra drives to get a certain level of performance."
All-flash array sales are minuscule, perhaps $300 million last year out of a total market of $26 billion for what EMC and NetApp traditionally sell. But flash may rise to $1.6 billion by 2016, and that has lured some of the best and brightest of the data-storage world, serial entrepreneurs fleeing good jobs.
They include executives at Skyera in San Jose, Calif., who previously founded SandForce, a maker of flash controller chips that was sold to semiconductor company LSI (LSI).
Another, Pure Storage, in Mountain View, is staffed with recruits from NetApp. Last month, it scored $150 million in venture money, a record for this segment of tech, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Each has staked out varying positions in the flash war.
Nimble Storage of San Jose, whose founder Varun Mehta's prior start-up was sold to Google GOOG -0.730032788073112% Google Inc. Cl C U.S.: Nasdaq USD548 -4.03 -0.730032788073112% /Date(1427835600087-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1518528 AFTER HOURS USD548.1 0.100000000000023 0.01824817518248175% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 65149 P/E Ratio 27.041297192738327 Market Cap 378819564442.62 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1228170 More quote details and news » (GOOG), is using flash only to keep a copy of the most frequently used data, letting disk do the bulk of the work. Using smart software, "we can buy some of the cheapest flash chips out there, the consumer grade," Mehta tells me, "and we can ride down the cost curve of those cheaper components."
A similar approach is taken by Coraid, of Redwood City, Calif. Its arrays combine varying amounts of disk and flash, using Ethernet networking to achieve an optimal mix of the technologies. "There will be a shakeout" among the start-ups, says Coraid CEO Kevin Brown, formerly of NetApp. "There are 30-plus companies just adding flash to a storage array, but flash is not an industry in itself."
The implication is that by next year, some of the me-too companies merely riding the appeal of flash won't be able to stay in the game.
SOME ARE TRYING TO MAKE PEACE with the old guard. Virident, in Milpitas, Calif., counts EMC and disk-drive maker Seagate Technology STX -1.9781461944235117% Seagate Technology PLC U.S.: Nasdaq USD52.03 -1.05 -1.9781461944235117% /Date(1427835600293-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3708749 AFTER HOURS USD52.26 0.229999999999997 0.44205266192581205% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 68073 P/E Ratio 11.237580993520519 Market Cap 17428182315.072 Dividend Yield 4.151451085911974% Rev. per Employee 272322 More quote details and news » (STX) as partners. "EMC is moving faster than most of the largest companies into flash," says Virident's head of operations, Ken Grohe, formerly of, you guessed it, EMC. "They're moving faster than IBM IBM -1.3339890576012787% International Business Machines Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD160.5 -2.17 -1.3339890576012787% /Date(1427835697804-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4104966 AFTER HOURS USD160.74 0.240000000000009 0.14953271028037382% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 150402 P/E Ratio 13.375 Market Cap 160786932097.002 Dividend Yield 2.7414330218068534% Rev. per Employee 244455 More quote details and news » [IBM], even though IBM has set up a billion-dollar division dedicated to flash."
None of these companies has the raw ambition of Violin's Basile. He has big dreams—too big, in fact, for his former post as CEO of another flash upstart, Fusion-IO (FIO), which he left in 2009.
When asked about the matter, Basile grumbled something about a difference of perspective; it's all too clear that Fusion's goals were simply too small for him.
Fusion sells a plug-in circuit board that goes into a server computer to accelerate how fast the server pulls data from an array. But Basile wanted to pursue the big kahuna: reinvent the array itself, and strike at the heart of EMC's business.
Among Violin's backers is Toshiba 6502.TO -0.6148353827846093% Toshiba Corp. Japan: Tokyo JPY501.1 -3.1 -0.6148353827846093% /Date(1427918400000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 20m) : 30603000 P/E Ratio 25.24433249370277 Market Cap 2157786990128.54 Dividend Yield 1.5964877270005986% Rev. per Employee 33390200 More quote details and news » (6502.Japan), one of the two top flash-chip makers alongside Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea). Toshiba is also Violin's sole supplier of flash. Unlike Nimble and others, which will grab off-the-shelf chips, the Toshiba agreement gives Basile & Co. a deep understanding of the components, allowing it to tune its equipment and software for greater efficiency.
What makes Violin unique, perhaps, is Basile's contention that flash is just one of many types of memory technology the company will use over time. "We prefer the term memory array instead of flash array," Basile tells me.
VIOLIN IS RANKED NO. 1 in sales of all-flash arrays, according to IDC; it is the poster child for the war. But Basile is acutely aware of EMC's greater resources. "They have at least 100 times more people in the field than we do," he says. "They are one of the greatest technology companies there has ever been."
EMC and NetApp are not standing still. EMC last week rolled out a major overhaul of its VNX line of arrays with a heightened focus on flash, to loud applause from the Street. NetApp is expected to follow suit early next year.
"We believe flash will not disrupt EMC," says UBS analyst Steve Milunovich, "given [that] the company aggressively has embraced this new technology. We think all-flash arrays could dominate the high end of storage, currently epitomized by EMC's VMAX," the top tier of EMC's product line, which combines flash and disk.
Probably, Violin, Coraid, Virident, Nimble, Skyera, Pure, and others will be take-out targets before long.
A struggling outfit such as Dell (DELL) could do worse than buying up half of these companies—at a hefty price, of course—to transform its business.
But then, revolutions always cost money.

Speech Pathologist
She holds a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, is a member of the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association, and has a passion for helping patients overcome swallowing and feeding disorders.
Katy has worked with neonatal through geriatric patients, collectively demonstrating a vast range of abilities and comorbidities. Ever-committed to continuous learning and improvement in quality of care, The Swallow Center has been a professional goal and personal calling. Katy has practiced in Lubbock and surrounding areas for over ten years.
A Message From Katy:
Swallowing disorders are as diverse as the patients they affect. There is rarely a cut-and-dry formula for successful recovery. Many common practices are ineffective, as they address only specific symptoms or specific phases of the swallow. Due to the complex physiology and delicate nature of the swallowing mechanism, true recovery can ONLY be affected by diagnosing the underlying cause(s) of dysphagia and treating the whole patient. It is my passionate belief that dysphagia management must include all phases of swallowing, including and especially the esophageal phase. The nutritional choices patients make are vital to recovery and swallowing safety.
How We Can Help
What Is A FEES Procedure?
Swallow Center will provide equipment, personnel, generate timely reports, and provide thorough patient/staff/family education and clear recommendations. Our FEES equipment is portable, allowing Swallow Center to work with facilities and home health agencies to serve even the most critical or homebound patients. All-in-all, FEES is a simple, effective way to objectively determine swallowing safety and appropriate intervention.

Does anybody winter sow columbines, already put some out without thinking, thought I had better check.
I WS'd columbines and got very good germination. However, before they flowered (second year) they were attacked by something and some of them were entirely stripped of all leaves. After scrutnizing them, I realzed there were some little green worms eating them...never did find out what they were. I sprayed them with 10% ammonia and the plants were able to recover and flower but not well. I was told on one forum that they are prone to these kinds of infections so be on the lookout.
I've had the pleasure of these little worms. If they're not little, it's too late. :( They are called delphinium/columbine/larkspur worms. Follow the link to Jim Hole's Notebook for more information.
Personally, I find encouraging birds works really well for the delphiniums. I check frequently and when I find a rolled up leaf, I squeeze gently until there is a satisfying squish. Columbine is more critical. The little green worms will strip a plant overnight. At the first sign of a ragged leaf edge I check the undersides of ALL my leaves. Just brushing under the leaf will roll the little worms off and you can dispose of them as you wish. Miss one and say good -bye to your leaves.

Sahara Jones is going into fifth grade-again. Although she won't be "Sahara Special" anymore (special needs, that is), she doesn't expect this year to be any better than last year.

This article examines the relationship between a governor's verbal style and his success in achieving his legislative goals. We add a measure of verbal style developed by Roderick Hart to a traditional model used by scholars of political chief executives to explain legislative success. We apply this model to the State of the State addresses of six governors of Florida who served between 1966 and 2006. Our findings reflect the validity of the truism "words matter." Governors who use words and phrases that connote enthusiasm, activity, and realism are more successful in the legislative arena than those who do not.
