First things first... Aggrender = agressive + tender, both important for ranked game victory.
This mini guide includes some good tips on how to be a good solo ranked player. I have around 800 ranked games played and usually am above 1500 in solo Q incase anyone is wondering. Feel free to add more tips to this thread....and any input from high rated players would be very much appreciated.
These tips are my opinion from my experience thus far in ranked Solo Q play, they are not in order of importance:
1. Have a number of champions in various roles that you are good at. Personally, i like ashe for ranged AD, morgana for support, mord/rammus for tankish, vlad for AP, and malphite if i have to jungle.
2. If you are top pick in a game say to yourself: "ok, 9/10 people in this game are prob. worse than me so i can dominate". This is where i almost always play a ranged AD carry that i am good at.
3. If you are last pick in a game, try and fill the role that is most needed by your team, and counters the enemy team (if possible). For example, if you dont have a jungler or a tank on your team and you can jungle shen well, you just inreased your chances of winning significantly.
4. At mid elo i find the best teams consist of 2 strong solo's (1 ap 1 ad), a strong jungle, 1 hard tank (rammus/shen/malphite), and 1 offtank/suppport (gragas/mord/etc.). Support champions at the moment seem somewhat underpowered, (zilean, morgana, janna, taric,etc.), however they can work wonders in the right hands.
5. Only good shaco's are good. I am not a shaco expert by any means, however, that being said, unless you are very good at shaco (ganking always and working towards an early dragon etc.), i find shaco is underpowered in his current state and not many people can play him well enough to compensate (at my elo anyway, but i watch high elo streams often and dont see many amazing shaco's that carry teams or anything spectacular aside from reginald occasionally).
6. There are a number of champions that increase your chances of winning significantly if someone plays them well, from my experience.
Tank: Shen, amumu, rammus, malphite, cho'gath, mordekaiser
R AD: Corki, Ashe, Tristana....(i dont see sivir doing well ever at my elo)
AD: Xin, pantheon
AP: Vladamir, Anivia, karthus, heimer, kennen, kassadin
Support: morgana, zilean
*these are just champions that i see carrying the hardest and winning games the most often seemingly by themselves, at my elo*
7. Baron river, and dragon river should be warded throughout the entire game. If your do this your chances of winning increase significantly. Often you will have bad players on your team, you have to buy wards if they dont.
8. boots - Merc treds are the best boots when in doubt, zerker greeves are good occasionally on safer carries like tristana, boots of swiftness are only really good on ashe and a few others, boots of mobility are only really good on gankers and alistar, cooldown boots are only really good on support (when merc treds arent a better choice), and dodge boots are almost never good. There are infinite exceptions and possibilities here..please do not point them out, this is just trying to give the jist of things.
9. Always be there for your team if possible during a team fight.
10. Always have map awareness and call mia's. Keeping rivers warded and always looking at your mini map helps with this....alot.
11. During laning phase, only last hit, pushing is the exception to the rule. If you push your lane you:
1. decrease the chances of getting a kill since they will tower hug
2. increase your chances of getting ganked
3. decrease your juglers ability to gank.
You can push when:
You have the river warded, you are dominating and want to deny xp/gold, you force someone out of the lane and want to deny more xp, or when you want to back to base.
12. Last hitting is more important than ANYTHING, early game. Harassing is ok, if you have a good matchup, but dont harass at the cost of last hits unless you are going for a kill.
13. Do not harass so much that you cause someone to freak out and Base, unless that is your intention. If your intention is to kill them, get them to 50% or so, and then coordinate burst with your partner if possible, to land a kill.
14. Always roll with your advantage. Never let up your pressure if you are winning. Constantly push lanes with your team and move between the enemy jungle, stealing their buffs, and harassing their towers. Eventually you will win.
15. Be nice to people, if you are first pick in a game, make a good impression and offer to pick shen / vlad / pantheon, for example, for someone, if you are not planning to play a bann pick champion.
16. Learn the abilities of every champion in the game and their aproxamite cooldowns. I cant stress this enough, this will let you know when it is safe to harass, and when you just cant get involved in a situation. This is one of the most important aspects to playing a good ranged AD carry.
17. Realize which solo on the enemy team is doin the best - if possible, buy items to counter them. ie. pink wards for stealth champions, merc treds and a banshee's veil for that 4-1 anivia, etc.
18. If you have someone who is doing well and almost never dying, have them buy an oracle mid-late game, they will often get most of the money back just from destroying wards, significantly decreasing the enemy teams map awareness, and allowing you to catch the enemy team "by suprise", often for the win.
19. First blood dosent really matter - some people get down on themselves if their team feeds first blood, the team demoralization and intimidation is 100x more important than the 100g extra it provides. So if someone on your team gives up first blood, tell them its ok. If you get first blood.... /all wow gg... .
20. Expect to lose sometimes. Be mentally prepared to play your best but dont get down on yourself when you lose. Often it can be due to your teammates, if you think you contributed to the problem, reflect on your mistakes and figure out how you can do better next time!
Thats all i can really think of right now....maybe add more later if people like? Let me know. I am doing this to help, and this is just my opinion so im not looking for arguments, but input is welcome from everyone.
Nice guide. I do enjoy reading them. Currently stuck at 1500 myself. I'm great with champs I know. Def. Need to broaden my experience with different roles and champions.
thanks for the reply! took me 30mins or so to write this up, im glad someone found some value in it! .
Pretty much everything here I already knew at some level, but definitely need to consciously think about. It's always helpful to be reminded of the basics, because if you forget them everything falls apart.
It helps me to re-read this stuff and get it stuck in my brain.
I really wish there were some "how to play" repository somewhere, possible broken down by what you should know/what you should be doing at different elo milestones. I spent some time in elo hell, which in retrospect was actually because I was terrible, and have only recently been regaining that ground; I want to be a better player as well as help my teammates become better players, too.
(I have noticed that the last few ranked games that I was first pick we have won, which has been a morale boost)

Producer Bill Lawrence says his U.S. TV series Scrubs will undergo a significant transformation when it comes back for its ninth season. Lawrence said instead of focusing on the comedic side of hospital life, the ABC sitcom will be primarily focused on stars John C.
The U.S. television comedy series Scrubs is scheduled to move from NBC to ABC for its eighth season. The offbeat, medical sit-com will debut on its new network Jan. 6, ABC said Friday.
By Scott D. Pierce Deseret News BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- "Scrubs" is moving from NBC to ABC this fall for its final season. Maybe. Oh, the comedy is definitely moving to ABC. But whether it's going to be the final season is still up in the air.
By Nellie Andreeva LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It took three years, but Emmy voters finally showed some love to NBC's quirky medical comedy "Scrubs" Thursday, giving it a seat in the elite comedy series nominees circle and a lead comedy actor nomination for star Zach Braff.
- One who brings meat to the table; hence, in some countries, the official title of the grand master or steward of the king's or a nobleman's household.

The Principle of the Edible House
Sunday, 01 April 2012 17:37
By Sarah K. Highland
If a fundamental principle of health is that you are what you eat, then the basic premise of healthy homebuilding is that you ought to be able to eat your house. If you have kids or pets, you may know what I'm talking about. For the rest of you, imagine a door viewed through a very powerful microscope. Every time it opens and closes, particles of the door rub off and waft through the air or fall to the floor. If the door is made of real wood, with an edible finish, well and good. If, however, it's covered with paint or made of a plastic composite, those particles floating around the house won't be so good for you, especially if they land on a kitchen cutting board.
Now let's take a microscopic look at a wall. There may not be visible cracks in the surface, but anywhere there's an electrical outlet there is a hole in the wall that may connect directly to the insulation cavity. Any drafts coming through that little hole are going to carry in with them tiny particles of insulation. Therefore, you may want to consider both of these facts when you evaluate or choose the insulation in your walls: some kinds are much more effective than others (fiberglass, though cheap, is actually not a very good insulator); and some are friendlier than others to inhale. I'd sooner eat straw than cellulose, and you couldn't pay me enough to take a mouthful of fiberglass or foam.
Apothekara Brings Herbal Healing Downtown
Thursday, 01 March 2012 13:53
By Zuri Sabir
Walking into Apothekara, our new local place of herbal healing and education located on South Cayuga Street, you are greeted with a warmth that invites you to stay and ask as many questions as you want. It has a familiarity to it, evoking a memory of old-time healing not shared by many in these modern times, but truly felt and valued. Apothekara is minimally and purposefully furnished: beautiful wooden floors guide you in toward a long and sturdy hand-tiled counter flanked by stools on your left. Behind it is a wall patterned with tinctures and to your right is an impressive collection of dried herbs that unfailingly beckons your interest. And then there is Kara, with her wealth of knowledge, who patiently awaits your statement of need.
Adjacent to the main room of the apothecary is a simple lounge. We sit there now as Kara Timmons, Medical Herbalist and owner of Apothekara, tells me her journey. Kara has been learning and educating about herb-based medicine for over 15 years. She was originally introduced to the idea of wild foods and foods for health in the mountains of New Mexico, living in Carson National Forest. There, Kara and a group of friends camped for two months foraging and gathering plants to eat and use for their medicinal properties alongside a larger community of like-minded people.
It's February: Got Self-Love?
Friday, 03 February 2012 21:58
By Jayalalita
February is the month we're bombarded with the joy of romantic love: sweetness and candles, chocolate and wine. If you're single, it's easy to drift into the illusion that all loneliness and frustration would be resolved by the relationship thing. If you're in a couple, it's easy to imagine you should be with someone else who's better at, or more, or less — something.
Why not take this month to get serious about your relationship with yourself? Have you committed yet? I'm not talking about taking yourself out to eat or treating yourself to a bubble bath (check out the magazines at the other stores for that). I mean self-love that involves consistent kindness to yourself. I mean self-forgiveness applied not only in big moments of cutting loose some monster from the past, but through ongoing, daily, moment-to-moment practice. I mean refusing to tolerate self-talk that puts you down, refusing to lie in bed at night obsessing over what's not done, what wasn't done right, what you shouldn't have said, what you'll never catch up to or make happen. By self-love, I mean supreme self-honoring.

Leaving the Land of the Giants
The next revolution will be personal. Just like the last three were.
The cover of the December 1st–7th 2012 issue of The Economist shows four giant squid battling each other (http://www.economist.com/printedition/2012-12-01). The headline reads, "Survival of the biggest: The internet's warring giants". The squid are Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. Inside, the story is filed under "Briefing: Technology giants at war". The headline below the title graphic reads, "Another game of thrones" (http://www.economist.com/news/21567361-google-apple-facebook-and-amazon-are-each-others-throats-all-sorts-ways-another-game). The opening slug line reads "Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are at each other's throats in all sorts of ways." (Raising the metaphor count to three.)
Now here's the question: Is that all that's going on? Is it not possible that, in five, ten or twenty years we'll realize that the action that mattered in the early twenty-teens was happening in the rest of the ocean, and not just among the mollusks with the biggest tentacles?
War stories are always interesting, and very easy to tell because the format is formulaic. Remember Linux vs. Microsoft, personalized as Linus vs. Bill? Never mind that Linux as a server OS worked from the start with countless millions (or even billions) of Windows clients. Or that both Linus and Bill had other fish to fry from the start. But personalization is cheap and easy, and there was enough antipathy on both sides to stoke the story-telling fires, so that's what we got. Thus, today we might regard Linux as a winner and Microsoft as a loser (or at least trending in that direction). The facts behind (or ignored by) the stories mostly say that both entities have succeeded or failed largely on their own merits.
Here's a story that illustrates how stories can both lead and mislead.
The time frame was the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the "war" was between CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_instruction_set_computing) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computing). The popular CPUs at the time were CISC, and the big two CISC competitors were Intel's x86 and Motorola's 68000. Intel was winning that one, so Motorola and other chip makers pushed RISC as the Next Big Thing. Motorola had an early RISC lead with the 88000 (before later pivoting to the PowerPC).
At the time, I was working with Sun Microsystems and its allies on SPARC, Sun's RISC design, which was implemented in various ways by a raft of chip makers, including Texas Instruments, Fujitsu and Cypress Semiconductor. In spite of Sun's heft in the marketplace, we had trouble getting attention for SPARC with the tech pubs, because they tended to see everything as an Intel vs. Motorola fight. We felt we couldn't challenge either one of those guys head-on, even if SPARC was superior on technical grounds (which Sun and its partners believed). So we decided the best strategy was for SPARC to pick a fight with another RISC upstart called MIPS.
This was pure bait for the pubs, which came over to this new fight to see what was up. I think we caught MIPS off guard at first, but it defended itself well and ended up selling years later for hundreds of $millions to SGI, which eventually went bankrupt. SPARC is still around, running gear made by Oracle, which acquired Sun. The big winner in the CPU market remained Intel and, therefore, CISC. In fact, the x86 architecture still rules, at least on PCs and servers, but not in mobile devices, where ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) now kicks butt. And for what it's worth, MIPS is now fighting ARM in the Android market, and Motorola's chip division is the long-since-spun-off ON Semiconductor.
So, five points here:
Vendors use stories as marketing strategies.
Vendor war coverage is always to some degree an exercise in misdirection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misdirection_(magic)), even when journalistic intentions are worthy ones.
The real story is always much more complicated than vendor war coverage can characterize.
"Winners" never win forever, especially in tech.
"Losers" don't always die. Often they stay alive by selling out, or they thrive by finding niches and working them.
Now back to our four squid.
The graphic above The Economist story is a antique-style map (http://media.economist.com/sites/default/files/cf_images/images-magazine/2012/12/01/FB/20121201_FBD000.png) of the fantasy-fiction kind, drawn by David Parkins (http://www.davidparkins.com). It shows a large mountainous land, with the Sea of Content to the west and the Sea of Commerce to the east. Dividing the land are four throne-doms: Applechia, Google Earth, Amazonia and Fortress Facebook. A fifth, Empire of the Microserfs, is across the Sea of Content in the northwest corner of the map, bordered by the Cliffs of Surface. In Google Earth are Adsense-land, the Mirkwood of Regulation, the Wastes of Litigation ("Here be lawyers"), Pagerank Pinnacle (at the end of Algorithm Reach), beside which lies The Firth of Android. Appleacia has the iPhone Keep. Amazon has the Cloud Mountains and a volcano named Kindle. Between the latter and Netflix Nation (which lies above the Satrapy of Spotify) intrudes Pirate Bay. Offshore are the eBook Islands. On the opposite shore are OneClick Castle and Prime Port. Somewhere in the middle, between the Cloud Mountains and Fortress Facebook is the Lost City of MySpace. Out in the Sea of Content are small islands called RIM Rocks and Nokia. Atop the map is The Dark Offline. Floating in the Sea of Commerce is a Chinese junk flying the Samsung banner. A peninsula in the southeast corner features Secondhand City, the Bay of E and the Cape of Coin. There's a dragon smiling out of the Sea of Commerce, named The Next Big Thing. Finally, in the center of the map, between the four thronedoms, is an un-named body of water surrounding Identity Island.
Parkins' antique style also depicts antique substance in the making—because all four of the thrones (or squid, take your pick) are at least as affected by their own weaknesses as by the strengths of companies they are said to be fighting. And, because so many of us are at their mercy, their weaknesses are to some degree ours as well.
So let's look at those weaknesses, and then at where the rest of the action is, because neither are getting enough attention.

A good read
One can only wish the author will be proved right in his conclusion, but I am afraid the future will be much darker. At least where I live, being hooked up to 'the net' is already practically mandatory. We may very soon become literal serfs under constant and total surveillance and control. There is probably no escape possible - not even through legislation.

SOUTH AFRICA: SAB takes "drastic" action to save Lion Lager
South African Breweries (SAB) has announced that the company is to embark on what has been referred to as "drastic measures" to save its ailing 110-year-old Lion Lager brand.The steps to be undertaken include a repackaging and labelling of the brand, as well as reducing the alcohol content of the beer.The repackaged Lion Lager will only be sold in cans and 370ml bottles, which is expected to appeal to the new target market of sports fanatics. The existing draught barrels, pints and quarts will be discontinued.SAB also announced that it would attempt the re-launch of Dakota Ice, a beer which entered the market last year, targeted at the more trendy end of the market. The company refused to comment to just drinks.com about any detailed changes regarding its export strategy.Lion lager was once a top selling beer in South Africa, yet hard times have fallen upon the brand with current market share estimated at around 5% while rival Castle Lager enjoys 65% of the South African market.Richard Hurst

The Golden Rule Shall Sail Again!
This project aims to advance Veterans For Peace opposition to nuclear weapons and war, and to do so in a dramatic fashion. We have recovered and are restoring the original peace boat, the Golden Rule, that sailed in 1958 to stop nuclear testing in the atmosphere, and which inspired many peace makers and peace ships that followed. The restored Golden Rule will voyage once more, to show that a nuclear peace is possible, and that bravery and tenacity can overcome militarism.
In 1958, a crew of anti-nuclear weapons activists set sail from San Pedro, California, in an attempt to interpose themselves and the boat between the U.S. Government and the testing of nuclear weapons in the air and waters of the Marshall Islands. They were twice boarded by the U.S. Coast Guard, and the crew were arrested, tried, and jailed in Honolulu. But far from being defeated, their example helped to ignite a storm of world-wide public outrage against nuclear weapons that resulted in the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, and which has continued down to the present in the many organizations working to abolish weapons of mass destruction. The Golden Rule and her crew helped set in motion many environmental and peace voyagers and craft that came after including the Phoenix of Hiroshima, and later Greenpeace and the Sea Shepherds, among others.
The use of nonviolent direct action as a basic guiding principle of the Golden Rule's crew would also influence future generations. Two of her crew would later be among the original Freedom Riders in the American south. It is in the memory of the crew, and the causes for which they sacrificed, that the Veterans For Peace have vowed that the Golden Rule shall again ride the waves of peace.
You can help make it happen, and follow our progress as we restore this historic ketch and continue its mission of peace.

A guy who is gay in my school wore pantyhose today and I cannot stop thinking about him in pantyhose. I like women, idk?
You might be a double agent man? Or you might just appreciate good pantyhose when you see 'em?
Just because you liked the look of a guy's pantyhose doesn't make you gay. Straight men stare at each other all the time. Your sexual preference is whatever you chose to identify yourself as. One pantyhose a gay man does not make.
What about the pantyhose was remarkable to you? Would you like to wear pantyhose? Or did you like the way they looked? IDK... and I don't care about orientation. I think just being is enough.
Try a pair on, the feel of silky tights is amazing and so sexy
If you like the sight of a woman's legs in pantyhose then it is possible sometimes to like the way a guy's legs look in hose. It's only gay if you pursue it, not that there's anything wrong with that

Whatever gets you off, as they say :)
You ever wear your moms pantyhose
I did In secret,
Yea I like things on women and something I will think about man she had a nice shape but I will never touch a girl...

if your not having sexual thoughts about him then your good
Soundz like Ur in DENIAL
well I do,,, ur not so st8,,, u prove so by fixating on gay boys wearing hose,,, lolzzz
CZS53 is gay.
In denial much?
Please tell me about that guy how long ago did it happen....
Can you please tell me about that guy
What did you think about that please explain
I bet you wouldn't mind wearing them to tell me about you like who you live with
How he look in them
did he make it look obvious?
It doesn't make you gay just make you appreciative of a great pair of legs. I'm straight and wear pantyhose and have been blessed with amazing legs and feet. Better than many women so I've been told. If you saw my legs and feet in leggs suntan pantyhose but not the rest of me you would think they belong to a woman. So no doesn't make you gay to appreciate great legs.
It's amazing how many of us male pantyhose lovers have great legs.

Check out all gua sha reviews.
A great experience at Dandelion Acupuncture Practice. My practitioner made me feel at ease and my treatment felt really beneficial.
Brilliant treatment as always. Was a bit scared of trying Gua Sha but there was minimal redness after and my face was glowing and radiant. Also good for tension around the jaw/face.
Such a lovely experience overall. The service was great, the place was nice and the staff was talented. Only the best of recommendations from me.
This was my first time doing Gus sha. It doesn't hurt at all but I did feel a bit nauseous which I knew could happen going into it. My neck already feels a bit better after first session, and will go back for more.
I have had 7 sessions of combination treatments at the clinic so far and am very happy with my progress. The treatments received were carefully thought through based on discussions on the areas I needed help with. Treatments are affordable indeed with quality of a professional establishment due to an extensive knowledge and deep passion for Acupuncture along with a compassionate and caring nature of people working there. I would thoroughly recommend guys at the Apothecary for their calm and genuine manner, and fantastic acupuncture (and other) treatments. Thank you Alex!
i have been having many treatments from Akhtar since the last year or so, including waxing and graston massage, i do alot of sports so getting a sports massage is really ideal for me, as i tend to have weak shoulder the cupping treatment is the best place to be.
Yona is a truly gifted healer. I came to her in a time of extreme stress and exhaustion and she was able to help restore some balance to my life. She offered tips that I use daily and helped make sense of some of my continued health concerns.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for an intuitive, sensitive health care provider.
(Get her to do Gua Sha if you're coming down with a cold!)
I had a six week course of weekly massages to help with a chronic pain in my neck. The pain substantially subsided after the third week. I have since gone back regularly as I find the health benefit from cupping, deep tissue massage and acupuncture to be immense.

Is there a Guiness record for dahlia height?
While I'm not at all sure that it's desireable, I have a Cyril Higgo that was measured last week at 7 feet, 10 inches! Had a windstorm so we had to go out to buy a bigger stake to keep it from going over and taking it's neigbors with it. It looks unwieldly, however I think with babying, I can keep it upright for the remainder of the season. Any other records for tall dahlias to share?
Our Kenora Clyde's used to always be at least 10' tall- Walt would stake it w/ a 6' wooden stake & then just keep adding five-footers to it until he finally got to the top. One year it was 12' tall. Luckily it had a really big, thick stalk so it didn't break off. We quit growing it though because, even though we didn't use it for a seed parent, it did get around via the bees & we started getting really tall seedlings- we didn't want that so bye, bye, Clyde!
So I have a picture in my files, and I made the file very small so it should be compliant with the forum, but how do I get my picture on the posting? I've read through the instructions, and they seem to point me to the picture gallery forum. But I see other people posting pictures on this forum so I'm missing some information! Help? We don't have photobucket . . .
Phyllis, we want to see your dahlias! Check out Photobucket, if you want, and I'll be happy to tutor you by email on uploading and posting. It's really easy.
Regarding tall dahlias, we're reaching that time of year when I have to sacrifice tall monsters to let sun get to those poor waifs in their shadows. My tallest by far was Jaylene G a small rose-colored waterlily that packed a punch at 9'-10'. I cut one off at a reasonable 4'level. It's already grown new sprouts up to 5'. Others that will get the snip are 8' or so, shadowing 4 footers behind them. So much for planning heights.

Raiders feel chill from draft
ALAMEDA, Calif. — For an organization seeking to rebuild through the draft, the Oakland Raiders have struggled to find impact players in the first two drafts under general manager Reggie McKenzie.
Whether because of injuries, a lack of enough premium picks or bad decisions, the Raiders have gotten only one starter from the last two grab bags.
Of the 16 players taken in McKenzie's first two draft classes, five are no longer with the organization, three are on season-ending injured reserve, and most of the others are struggling to get on the field.
With the organization hampered by bad contracts from departed players that are still eating up salary cap space, the misses in the draft are more notable, a clear factor in another disappointing season in Oakland.
"Sometimes things don't work out," said coach Dennis Allen, whose team closes out the season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. "Sometimes mistakes are made. But I'm very confident in Reggie McKenzie and the personnel staff of being able to evaluate football players"
Allen said it is far too early to judge this year's draft class, which has been mostly underwhelming from the top on down. The biggest disappointments have been first-round cornerback D.J. Hayden, who struggled before going on IR, and fourth-round quarterback Tyler Wilson, who spent most of the year on the practice squad before being signed by Tennessee last week.
The highlights from the draft were third-round linebacker Sio Moore, who has been a starter all season and has 3½ sacks, and sixth-round tight end Mychal Rivera, who has 36 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns.
"Rookies generally don't make a huge impact in their first year," Allen said. "But there's a lot of things that we see in these guys that we can develop where they can get better, where they can be the backbone of our team moving forward."

This is because there are many caches I wish to do but not alone. I am looking for someone to come caching once in a while on weekends. I would like to cache with someone who is mainly out to explore what our island has to offer. My number one goal is not to be FTF or the person with the most caches, I am not into the competative aspect of the activity at all I am just out there to enjoy myself. (although if I had a FTF I wouldn't complain.:) I live in the Malahat area but am willing to go anywhere on the island within reason on the weekends. please let me know if you are interested, or know anyone you think may be!

Filed under California, Comic Books, Comic-Con International, Convention News
Oh yes, it is San Diego time again, and this year the fine, fine people of Comic-Con International have invited four D+Q cartoonists to be special guests of the convention, complete with spotlight panels: Gabrielle Bell, Vanessa Davis, James Sturm, and Jillian Tamaki. I don't believe we have ever had a year at San Diego with so many official special guests and so many conventions debuts. The heavenly moons of comics are aligned, people.
Vanessa and Jillian will even be debuting their new books:
Vanessa's MAKE ME A WOMAN and Jillian's INDOOR VOICE
Jillian will also be signing her award-winning SKIM, which we will have on hand in paperback for you.
Other debuts include:
Kevin Huizenga's WILD KINGDOM

EDEN by Argentinian newcomer Pablo Holmberg
and all new PALOOKAVILLE 20 which is now a hardcover compendium of all things Seth and will knock the socks off of anyone who buys it.
So D+Q will be at ye olde booth #1529, our usual spot for twenty years, so it shouldn't be hard to find us. Attending from D+Q will be Peggy Burns, production manager Rebecca Rosen (who is going on to greener, frenchier pastures in France this Fall so come over to say au revoir), and Publicity Coordinator Jessica Campbell.

2:00–3:00 Graphic Novels: The Personal Touch—You know when you read it: that certain something that sticks out in a graphic novel. It's the personal touch, a work that draws on the life of the creator or the people around him or her.

Comics creator and journalist Shaenon Garrity (Narbonic, Skin Horse) talks to Comic-Con special guests Gabrielle Bell (Cecil & Jordan in New York), Howard Cruse (Stuck Rubber Baby), Vanessa Davis (Make Me a Woman), Larry Marder (Beanworld), Jillian Tamaki (Skim), and Carol Tyler (You'll Never Know Book 1: A Good and Decent Man) about their very personal work.

The Texas Senate approved by a 30-to-1 vote Friday a bill that would require online and catalog retailers with an in-state physical presence, such as stores or distribution centers, to collect and remit sales tax even if those facilities are operated by subsidiaries. Already approved by the Texas House of Representatives, the bill is expected to go before the governor by the end of this month.
The bill, HB 2403, was written to clarify existing Texas sales tax law requiring online and catalog retailers to collect sales tax if they have a physical in-state presence, such as stores or distribution centers. In the most high-profile incident relating to this legal issue, Amazon.com Inc. has announced plans to close its Texas distribution centers after failing to come to an agreement with the state comptroller's office for an exemption for sales tax collection.
Amazon contends that it should be exempt from sales tax responsibility because its Texas distribution facilities are operated by an Amazon subsidiary and, therefore, not a part of the company's retail operation. Under federal law, retailers can be required to collect sales tax only in states where they have a physical presence such as distribution centers or stores.
But HB 2403 says that a retailer has physical presence, or nexus in legal terminology, whether it directly owns and operates distribution centers or indirectly owns and operates them through a corporate subsidiary, says the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Otto, a Republican. The bill says that a retailer is "engaged in business in this state" and therefore responsible for collecting sales tax if it has "substantial ownership interest" in subsidiaries that operate facilities such as distribution centers to support the retailer's online sales. Kansas and South Dakota already have enacted similar laws.
Otto introduced his bill in March after Amazon.com had already said it would close its Texas distribution center and kill plans to expand its Texas fulfillment facilities.
HB 2403 was also approved by a wide margin last month by the Texas House of Representatives. The bill's supporters say they expect Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, to act on the legislation before the end of the current legislative session, which runs until the end of this month.
Amazon, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, has also decided to close distribution facilities in South Carolina because of opposition by state officials to a tax incentive package Amazon had expected.
But in Tennessee, despite an effort within the state legislature to block a similar incentive package, Amazon is moving ahead with plans to expand its distribution facilities there. With support for the tax package from Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, Amazon said today it has started hiring for about 1,200 jobs at two fulfillment centers expected to open this fall. In addition, Amazon said it is considering locations in Tennessee for three more distribution centers, which would bring its total fulfillment work force in the state to several thousand full-time and seasonal employees.
"We're committed to growth in Tennessee because the people here have demonstrated their commitment to Amazon jobs and investment," says Dave Clark, vice president of Amazon North America Operations.
