RATINGS: 107 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.56 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 252 ABV: 8.4%
This is an extravagant, immoderate beer. We mixed together our three favorite things - beer, chocolate and coffee. A rich stout serves as the backbone, with organic black malt and chocolate malt providing a luscious foundation. During the boil, we add artisan chocolate from our friends at Taza. During conditioning, we add coffee from out friends at Coffee by Design. Then, this concoction is oak-aged, resulting in soft vanilla notes. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we do.

To help bring more students from the poorer sections under the GVMC's education-support scheme 'Vidyasri', the corporation will now give admission to those with 7.5 grading in the SSC.
The decision was taken at the executive body meeting of the Sweekaram Education Society on Tuesday, with Municipal Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana presiding.
Until now, the GVMC is extending assistance to students who obtain a grade of 9 in the SSC for Intermediate admission in corporate colleges.
However, the qualifying grade has been lowered to 7.5 to help more poor students gain admission. This is expected to bring another 200 students under the 'Vidyasri' assistance.
The meeting decided that students between 7.5 and 8 grades would be helped to continue Intermediate and polytechnic courses and those above 8 grade would be put in corporate colleges.
Even those who get less than 7.5 grade will be helped to get admission in government junior colleges. The scheme will now be extended to high schools at Anakapalle and Bheemunipatnam.Sweekaram
For implementation of 'Sweekaram, under which schools are adopted for provision of infrastructure and amenities, it has been decided to raise contributions up to Rs. 1 crore.Requirement
In all, 4,000 dual desks are required and their making will be given to the Jails Department and other State government organisations.Special classes
Mr. Satyanarayana asked the education wing officials to conduct special classes to students coming to SSC this academic year to improve the result. Teachers and education volunteers should be identified for whom special remuneration will be given.

Confounding the Wise
In 1 Corinthians 1:20, 27-29, the apostle Paul provides a very powerful word,
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.
We are often enamored with what the world considers wise and mighty, but God isn't. In fact, He chooses things that are foolish and weak, things the world considers insignificant, and things the world even despises, to put to shame the things that people consider wise.
I really like the King James Version when it states that God does these things to confound the wise.
We need to understand that sometimes God turns human conventional wisdom on its head. And I believe Scripture shows us three ways in which He does that.
First, there are times that God turns conventional wisdom on its head with the people He chooses for His purposes. Second, He will confound human wisdom with the plans He unfolds. Whether they are for your deliverance, or plans to further His kingdom and expand His work.
And then, third, God will truly confound the wise of this world with the pardon that He provides.
Through people, plans, and pardon, God does confound the wise!

How is he with other kids?
He sounds a lot like my son, who is now almost 6, hyperlexic and autistic. That said, at 2 1/2 autism didn't even cross our minds. We just though he was spirited, quirky, smart. Neurotypical 2 1/2-year-olds are echolalic, selective listeners, picky about food, etc. Some things we didn't pick up on back then that were major flags were
-He rarely made eye contact
-He didn't ask questions (still rarely does). He never went through the "what's that" or the "why" phases.
-He never tried to initiate joint attention (for example, pointing out things he thought were interesting, handing us things he thought were interesting, or looking at something, looking at us, then looking back at the thing to draw our attention to it). He very rarely pointed at things, and still doesn't.
It was when his speech was still very echolalic and formulaic at age 4 and when he still couldn't pay attention or function in large groups of people that we sought intervention. The behavior that seemed to us to be within the "normal" range at 2 or even 3 was more troubling the older he got.
-He rarely made eye contact
-He didn't ask questions (still rarely does). He never went through the "what's that" or the "why" phases.
-He never tried to initiate joint attention (for example, pointing out things he thought were interesting, handing us things he thought were interesting, or looking at something, looking at us, then looking back at the thing to draw our attention to it). He very rarely pointed at things, and still doesn't.
He sounds very similar to my 2.5 year old DS. Same reading skills, same sensory issues, lots of echolalia, preference for older kids. The only difference I see is that my son was verbal very early. He still repeats a lot, but at least 3/4 of his speech is not repeating - although when he first started talking it was nearly all repeating. He doesn't have any of the stuff above going on. He has been evaluated and we're pretty certain it isn't ASD, just SPD and quirkiness. It is definitely a hard thing to figure out.
My son is 7 and has autism with hyperlexia (among other issues).
DS knew shapes (including trapezoid, parallelogram, octogon, etc.) at and colors 20 months. He started using his ABC blocks to spell words (helicopter, emergency, motorcycle, etc) soon after he turned 2. At that age he could follow written directions when we were out and about, like "use other door", "keep off the grass", etc. But DS was still not talking at that age. When we realized that DS could read but not talk, we had to face the fact that his development was not following the usual path. So we contacted Early Intervention and had our ped give us a referal to the developmental pediatrician. This started a 5 month long diagnostic process. DS got an offical diagnosis of autism (with hyperlexia) a week after he turned 3.
DS did not talk until he was almost 3 years old. When he started talking, it was mostly echolalia and scripted speech. Otherwise, he spelled things out insteading of speaking in words. So he would stand in front of the fridge and yell "M-I-L-K!" He called us "M-O-M" and "D-A-D-D-Y". We had to teach him to talk in words instead of strings of letters.
Hyperlexia is an amazing thing. It took everything we thought we know about how kids learn language and threw it out the window. But it is by far our most powerful teaching tool and we make full use of it. We realized early on that DS had great difficulty processing what he heard, but he could process things he read much more easily. Essentially, the written word is his "native language" and verbal languge is like a difficult foreign language to him. So we used the written word to teach him everything: verbal language, social skills, behavior, self-help skills, etc. Our house is filled with white boards, cue cards, social stories, posters, signs, checklists, etc. We feel so lucky to have this powerful tool to help us communicate with DS.
A couple of helpful books about hyperlexia are:
When Babies Read: A Practical Guide to Helping Young Children with Hyperlexia, Asperger Syndrome and High-Functioning Autism
Reading Too Soon: How to Understand and Help the Hyperlexic Child
As others have said, at age 2.5, it can be really hard to see the social impairments of autism. They becaome much more obvious to us as DS grew out of toddlerhood and became a preschooler.
My youngest DS isn't hyperlexic, but I did find that once he had assistance with the reading, it brought his expressive language along a lot faster than what speech therapy alone did (in our case there's no receptive language delay). Reading really helped integrate his grammar skills and for the first time ever he has been able to "hear words in his head", but only when he reads. Before, he only saw pictures, and the speech therapy was to train him how to retrieve the word that matched the mental picture. Anyway, while my experience is different, I definitely agree with the above posters that however everything turns out with EI and no matter how he develops and changes (which could be a lot at 2 and a half), if reading is a strength for him you could definitely use it as a tool to bring along his language. Working with a kid's strengths is a good way to go, whether kids are special needs or neuro typical.
Ds' eval showed a 15pt difference between his ability to understand verbally and understand what is written.
Aspects (not all) sound like my son, he is 5.3 years and has Autism and Hyperlexia. My sons Autism was diagnosed when he was 3, and hyperlexia was not diagnosed until approx a year later, so it was like learning a second 'new' thing for us, after learning about his Autism, it was a whole new thing to learn about and understand.

An elongated casing forming a combustion chamber and bearing a venturi type jet nozzle at one end and a fuel and compressed air supply at its opposite end, bears one or more radial passages opening to the venturi to permit a secondary fuel to feed into the flame exiting from the burner for reaction with free oxygen which is unburned from the primary fuel and air mixture entering the combustion chamber at said opposite end of the apparatus. The secondary fuel may be acetylene, methyl-acetylene and its compounds with hydrogen.
1. In a method of burning a primary fuel with an oxydizer within a combustion chamber bearing a venturi type jet nozzle at one end remote from the opposite end in which the primary fuel and oxydizer is ignited to form a flame jet exiting from the nozzle, and wherein small particles of metal or ceramic are fed radially to the venturi for particle spraying at jet velocity, the improvement comprising the step of:
reacting a secondary fuel with higher reactivity than that of said primary fuel with the "free oxygen" within the flame jet exiting from said burner to reduce oxidation of sprayed prticles and increase the static temperature of the flame jet bearing said particles.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of:
aspirating atmospheric oxygen into the flame jet issuing from a burner to cause said combined flow to be more reducing than said flame alone by utilization of its free oxygen content to reduce secondary fuel.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said step of reacting a secondary fuel with "free oxygen" within the flame exiting from said burner comprises the feeding of one secondary fuel selected from the group consisting of acetylene, methyl-acetylene and its compounds, and hydrogen to said flame exiting from said burner.
This invention relates to air/fuel internal burners employed in the creation of ultra-high velocity flame jets, and more particularly to a flame jet apparatus method of operation which employs in addition to a primary fuel, a secondary fuel for increasing the temperature of the high velocity flame jet discharging from the apparatus.
In such internal burner devices which utilize an oxydizing fluid and a fuel to create a high velocity flame jet, the reactants burn at elevated pressure within a confining combustion chamber, and the products expand to ambient atmospheric pressure through a nozzle bearing an axial hole at one end of the internal burner of venturi form. Jet velocities well above sonic velocities (measured at jet temperature) are produced.
Such internal burners are used for applications including rock cutting, melting and spraying metal or ceramic particles to form a coating on a surface, spheridizing small angular particles of metal or ceramic and the like. Such internal burner type ultra-high velocity flame jet apparatus is set forth in my earlier U.S. Pat. No. 2,990,653 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Impacting a Stream of High Velocity Against the Surface to be Treated" issuing July 4, 1961. The apparatus of that patent takes the form of an air cooled double or triple wall cylindrical internal burner whose interior forms a combustion chamber, one end of which is closed off by a reduced diameter flame jet nozzle. At its opposite end, a fuel/air mixture is ignited with introduced fuel mixing with a continuous pressurized flow of air to materially increase the temperature of the continuous flowing stream prior to discharge and pressure reduction at high velocity through the nozzle bore. Combustion of the fuel/air mixture is effected by the incorporation of a spark plug within the cylindrical internal burner body forming part of a spark ignition system.
The present invention plays an important part in the flame coating field and utilizes the modified internal burner type ultra-high velocity flame jet apparatus and the description of the invention, which has broader aspects, is described in conjunction with the flame coating. However, the principles of the invention are also applicable to the other fields discussed above.
The present invention is directed to a method of operation to increase significantly the temperature level of an expanded flame jet. In particular, a secondary fuel flow is added to an oxydizing flame jet such that any "free" oxygen within the flame jet is consumed by the secondary fuel to increase the static temperature of the jet. Of particular advantage, is the use of a very reactive secondary fuel of high flame temperature. This fuel may be unsuitable for direct firing in the combustion chamber for one of various reasons but is highly effective in increasing the static temperature of the jet at its area of discharge from the venturi nozzle at the downstream end of the combustion chamber.
The method furthers include the feeding of atmospheric oxygen to mix with the combined secondary fuel and primary fuel and air products of combustion from the combustion chamber proper to increase the reduction of secondary fuel over that occurring by utilization of the flame jet from the primary fuel and air mixture, alone. The secondary fuel may be selected from the class consisting of acetylene, methylacetylene and its compounds, and hydrogen.
Referring to the drawing, a better understanding of the principles of this invention may be gauged by an inspection of that FIGURE, which is a longitudinal sectional view of an internal burner used to melt and project a flow of fusible particles to build up a coating of such molten particles on a surface (not shown) downstream of the discharge end of the apparatus illustrated.
In this FIGURE, an improved internal burner type ultra-high velocity flame jet apparatus indicated generally at 10 takes the form of an internal burner 10' comprised of a cylindrical section 30 which is closed off at its upstream end by a cylindrical injector piece 31 and closed off at its downstream end by an exit nozzle piece 12, thus forming a combustion chamber 11 internally of burner 10'. The nozzle piece 12 is provided with an axial nozzle bore or opening, being of supersonic flow design and having a throat 27 followed by an expanding discharge passage 28 and a converging inlet passage 29 leading to throat 27. The discharge passage 28, the throat 27 and the converging inlet passage 29 of the nozzle piece 12 defines a nozzle flow path of venturi shape. The injector piece 30 is provided with inclined injector holes at passages 15 and 16 which open to the interior of the combustion chamber 11 at a point which is in general axial alignment with the venturi discharge path for nozzle piece 12, the injector holes 15 and 16 being of relatively small diameter but enlarged at 15a and 16a, which enlarged portions receive respectively the ends of fuel supply tube 13 and an oxydizer supply tube 14.
Thus, reactants including a fuel as indicated by arrow F and an oxydizer as indicated by arrow O are fed into the combustion chamber 11 with ignition and combustion taking place within the chamber 11 and the heated products of combustion pass from the nozzle piece 20 to form a supersonic flame jet indicated generally at 17 characterized by shock diamonds 26. The ignition means is not shown but may be similar to that of U.S. Pat. No. 2,990,653 previously discussed.
Assuming that the primary fuel flow to the combustion chamber 11 to be propane and the oxydizer comprising pure oxygen, a pressure level of combustion of 50 psig will produce a flame jet velocity of about 4,160 feet per second. These calculations assume an overall combustion and expansion efficiency of 80 percent. The energy for rapid expansion of the products of combustion comes from the internal energy of those gases. For example, the combustion flame temperature of 4,600� F. reduces to 3,500� F. in the jet. High melting point particles indicated schematically by arrow P may be introduced into these flowing gases as for instance by way of a tube 18 which passes through a hole 30a within the cylinder 30 and which opens to a smaller diameter passage 20. Passage 20 extends radially through nozzle piece 12 and opens generally perpendicular to the axis of the venturi path defined by passage sections 27, 28, 29 of nozzle piece 12. Alternatively, a tube 19 which is illustrated as being diametrically opposite to tube 18, and being positioned within a second hole 30b in radial alignment with hole 30a may also supply particles, via passage 21 for introduction into the flowing gases of the flame jet 17 in the area of the diverging jet nozzle exit passage 28. However, the introduction of these particles may be achieved without the particles melting due to the limitation of the 3,500� F. jet.
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for increasing the jet temperature by adding a reactive fuel to the gases flowing through nozzle 12. The secondary fuel flow can be achieved by use of either tube 18 and hole 20 or tube 19 and hole 21, or by both simultaneously if desired or necessary. To provide oxygen for combuting this secondary fuel, one of three arrangements may be employed. The main combustion reaction (using the primary fuel flow) can be purposely made "clean". Oxygen and the products of combustion are available to burn the secondary fuel. Or the secondary fuel may be pre-mixed with oxygen and fed through either or both tubes 18, 19. Further, the secondary fuel may be added through one of the radial passages as at 20, for instance, to the jet flame, while oxygen may be added by way of the other radial passage 21.
Although a single injection stream of secondary fuel F' may be effected via tube 19, opposing jets (as shown in the FIGURE) assures axial flow of this secondary fuel in the main flame jet stream. With single injection from one side only, just the right flow velocity must be maintained. Alternatively, axial injection (not shown) can be quite effective in producing the desired increase in jet temperature and the metalization of high melting point particles introduced to the flowing gas stream 17 at the discharge end of nozzle piece 12.
The secondary fuel burns to form a relatively small diameter intensely hot core region within the main jet 17. This core expands until essentially complete mixing takes plae. A powder of fusible material P entering with the secondary fuel flow, also applied to tube 18 in the FIGURE, will follow the gaseous core path of increased temperature. Where acetylene is the secondary fuel, initial core temperatures over 5000� F. may result. Thus, many of the most refractory materials can be melted. Acetylene, methyl-acetylene and other very reactive fuels containing multiple-bonded carbon atoms cannot serve as the primary fuel. However, they are more than adequate as the secondary fuel in this case. High pressure levels of combustion lead to pyrolysis and the release of free carbon which can plug combustion chamber 11.
Thus, the invention uses a primary stable fuel with a secondary more reactive fuel. An intially stratified dual jet flow is created, and the material to be heated may be exposed either to the hotter flow constituent or the combined flow of a temperature greater than that in the absence of the secondary fuel flow. The secondary fuel is added at a point along the flow path where the pressure is either atmospheric or near to it. Thus, formation of free carbon is suppressed. Acetylene which should not be pressurized above 15 psig may be employed as the secondary fuel and applied to the primary flame stream closely adjacent the discharge end of the flame jet, that is, in the vicinity or within the diverging exit passage 28 within the nozzle piece 12.
An alternative use of the secondary fuel flow resides in its function of reducing the oxygen content of the primary products flame jet. Hydrogen is a very useful gas for this purpose. In this case, the primary reactants ratio are set to reduce oxygen levels of the flame jet to its minimum possible value, i.e., running richer that stoichiometric. The remaining oxygen will then be greatly reduced by the secondary hydrogen. In addition, oxygen aspirated from the surrounding air into the jet is also neutralized.
Although the FIGURE illustrates a double-injection of the secondary fuel F', other injection geometries are useful. In particular, continuous circumferential injection or use of many closely spaced holes to form an envelope around the flame jet has proven to be the most effective although obviously more costly in terms of feeding requirements and additional passages other than the two shown at 20, 21 in the illustrated embodiment.
As mentioned previously, one of the passages 21 and thus supply tube 19 may be open to the atmosphere, providing the means for aspiration of secondary air into the stream at the point where additional fuel is supplied by way of the other passage as at 20.
While the present invention has been described in conjunction with an internal burner type ultra-high velocity flame jet apparatus, the reducing capability of the secondary fuel may follow the principles set forth above and function adequately with different types of combustion systems, including open flame (welding flame) burners.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The free Leafsnap app is the first of a series of digital field guides using visual recognition to identify plants and species. To find out what tree you're looking at, all you have to do is take one of the leaves (preferably one that has fallen on the ground… no need to pluck fresh ones from the branches!), place it on a clean, light colored background, and snap a photo. The app tells you whether it's a sycamore or elm, along with providing high-res pictures of the tree's flowers and other characteristics.
You might be thinking, "what's wrong with a good old fashion field guide book?" The thinking behind Leafsnap was that you often don't find what you're looking for by flipping through a book. If you have no idea where to start, you'll be searching for ages. With Leafsnap, you identify the tree and learn about its properties in a matter of seconds.
The visual recognition algorithms are the key to Leafsnap's abilities. "Each leaf photograph is matched against a leaf-image library using numerous shape measurements computed at points along the leaf's outline," writes Smithsonian Science. "The best matches are then ranked and returned to the user for final verification."
"Within a single species leaves can have quite diverse shapes, while leaves from different species are sometimes quite similar," said David Jacobs, a professor of computer science at the University of Maryland who helped create the software. "So one of the main technical challenges in using leaves to identify plant species has been to find effective representations of their shape, which capture their most important characteristics."
Like any good app, Leafsnap connects you to a larger picture. As you snap photos, the information is sent to a community of scientists who will use the information to map and monitor the population and growth of trees around the country. While the app is specific to the Northeast right now, soon the app will include information on all tree species found in the United States.
You can download the free app here. Now, get thee to a park and start snapping!

A Google Goggles/TinEye focused (*heh*) on plants. Cool.
And @Fer Servadu…From Leafsnap's "About" page, FAQ section:
When will there be an Android version of Leafsnap?
We have one under development, but since the app is free and the work is being done by volunteers, we do not have a release date, nor a firm guess as to when this will be.

Fishies-cabinets up yet?
Hi! was wondering how progress was on your kitchen? would love to see photos if any cabinets have gone up! good luck, can't wait to see it all!
Well, they were supposed to come this week but Hurricane Sandy got in the way. (And yesterday was my birthday, too!)
No power and LOTS of damage here at the Jersey Shore. Our house is fine, thank God. We were very lucky!
Hopefully next week on the cabinets. (and I hope the cabinetmakers shop is okay in PA).
Thanks everyone! So glad our renovation is complete on the outside so the house was in tact for the hurricane. All of our furniture was in the basement so we carried it up in case we had water. Thank goodness we didn't as the main issue was wind and flooding affected those closer to the water.
DH is out looking for gas for our generator as we are just about out of it and there aren't many places open yet.
secondhalf- Exactly! We are so lucky so that was a great birthday gift..
Happy birthday! Glad you made it through ok. I have a friend on the northern NJ coast that hasn't checked in on FB, twitter, or his website since last night around dinnertime. Hoping it's a power thing since you are still out too.
Hope you can get enough gas to keep warm and dry!
Donaleen-- LOL Thanks!
Thanks everyone for the bday wishes! I spoke to our PM and he said cabinetmaker said they are getting installed Monday... or worst case Tuesday...
(still no power here but he said that didn't matter and they can use the generator.)

I don't know what drugs your on but most SC2 players DO have page up and page down. Every single computer I've owned or seen, and every single laptop I've owned or seen has had page up and page down keys on it. Even my sister's netbook has page up and page down.
The only way you wouldn't have a page up or page down key is if you had a Mac and Macs didn't have them, but in that case it isn't even half of SC2 players. Besides, if you're gaming on a Mac you're doing it wrong anyway.

POLICE CHIEF FIRED! He's a Yankee - If you are a Yankee you will not make it here in this good ol' boy County. Discrimination exist in this county against any outsiders.....
Discrimination is the prejudicial treatment of a person or a group of people based on certain characteristics "Yankee"
Who will save this county?? It's stuck back in time.

Can't we find a real police chief ????
Hello City Council if you don't want your ass voted out of office for malfeasance you best pay attention next time.......

It is difficult to consider any opinions in this forum with such language being used. Comments such as these ad fuel to the fire that we are ignorant people. Most Georgians do not act in this manner.

I've been reading all the posts--trying to get a "feel" of Port Wentworth. I live in Brunswick, and am thinking of moving to the Savannah area...
Am I going to be snubbed by the locals?
I'm 1/2 yankee, 1/2 Ga. peach--but I was born and raised in NY. Left in 1994 for Charleston, SC..for 7 years...then spent 5 yrs. in hell, which is Dallas, TX. I've been here in Brunswick for almost 3 years, but my children are in Savannah and Charleston and I'd like to be closer. Pt. Wentworth is supposed to be 80% white ( I think Brunswick is 80% black and Mexican!) I can understand southerners hating the yankee high-falootin attitude--I hate it myself!..But I think ya'll ought to judge a person by the kind of person he is--not by where he was born. I think the only thing yankee about me is my accent( which I can't seem to get rid of!)
Can you tell me something about the area where the new homes are? I like the Cottages at Lake Shore...I haven't had a chance to see the other new subdivisions yet...Don't know if I'm wasting my time---I don't want to live with a bunch of black people, or where people won't talk to me on account of my accent.

You need to get yo ass out of GEORGIA and find some other slum to buy a trailer at,
#17 Jun 30, 2009
I want you all to know that I will be praying for you all. I grew up in Rincon and I am not buck toothed, I do not carry a shot gun, and I know my history. I also know that there can be a bad seed in the apple so don't judge everyone by the way you live your life. Also to Damn Ole Rebel, you need to go back to school and learn how to spell.

Washington. A blocked FG and SEA scores. WASH isn't looking good either.
I hope Seattle can keep it up.
So I just heard that for NYG to get into the playoffs, they need to win next week against PHI and then 4 other specific teams need to lose for them to get in.Good. I hope it doesn't happen.
quote: 9. New York Giants (8-7) Would clinch a playoff berth with a win and Cowboys loss and either/both a Vikings loss or Bears loss.
The Giants can probably beat the Eagles.
If the Eagle don't turn over the ball they could beat the Giants.
Pittsburgh played very poorly in their season ending game against Cinci. Rothleisbergher appears to have lost his magic.
Edit: Also, Flacco (and Rice, and Pierce, And Boldin, etc.) looked pretty damned good out there. What do you think, Edge?
Hey Rockot, did I hear you say you were rooting for the ratbirds? Not many Steeler fans like you I suppose.

Phone Number Request
What do you do when someone asks for your phone number and you don't want to give it out? In general, I don't enjoy being nasty (in fact, I have a VERY hard time saying no--to strangers, anyhow! LOL). How do I say no in a tactful way that won't hurt feelings?
If it is possible, a white lie such as "my boyfriend/girlfriend will wonder why I'm giving my number out" could save the person's ego. You could also say, "I'm sorry, I think you're a really nice man/woman, but I don't feel comfortable giving you my number".
I would avoid the tricks that end up saving you in the moment, but ultimately hurt feelings, such as giving out a fake number or asking for his/her # and saying you'll call, when you know you won't.
Good luck,
For businesses who don't really need my phone number, I just simply 'don't have a phone, sorry!'. For individuals, it's 'I have a protected number and only give it to those who need to know it'. Or 'I don't give my number to just anybody, you know!' with a laugh and a quick change of subject.
For businesses who ask for your number routinely, I just say no. (You could say you have an unlisted phone number.)
For people I meet, it depends on whether I'd like to talk to them again. If so, I give my business number or simply make plans to meet for coffee in a public place. If not, I just say, "Thanks, but I'd rather not."

99% of rumbles I have seen are preety bad but we had seen a good one who single handedly owned us because of his sheer dmg and aoe
we tried to spread out but his ult is easy to land in tight 3v3 map
they had jax malphite and rumble
we had riven pantheon and singed
he was behind singed and I was poking a lot of jax and malphite on bot while noobs did not have a jungler
how to fight against such a team and don`t tell me obvious stuff like focus rumble and try to spread out it did not work jax`s stun and malphite`s ultimate give them enough time to deal too much dmg and kill 1 of us every teamfight than for the next 3 secs it is 3v2 (those two have little hp).
Junior Member
Watch out for his ult, alot of people will stand in it when they arent used to dealing with a rumble.
Also watch his charge level, his damage is increased at certain levels.
I recommend you play rumble in 3's.
That way when you learn how to play him well, you learn his weaknesses.
Always MIA
The junior member is right.
If you are having problems against certain champions...play that champion and learn.
Don't fight on his ult.
Rumble is one of the most troublesome champions. If we are 2nd pick we ban every time. If we are first pick and nobody feels like playing him we ban him. If for some reason they get a rumble I'd say your best option is to run a poke/disengage comp. Nidalee/Jayce/Whoever. Make sure that full engage fight never happens.
Also please tell me this is a normal game, because I can't fathom how Singed and Rumble were both open.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Jun 2013 12:11 GMT | Sport, Football, Germany
Treble-winning coach Jupp Heynckes has left his future open having said Tuesday he will walk away from Champions League-winners Bayern Munich, take a break and then weigh up his options.
Bayern became the first German team to win the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup with a 3-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart in Saturday's Cup final.
Heynckes, 68, will be replaced by ex-Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, whose first training session is scheduled for June 26, but for now a much deserved rest beckons as his Bayern contract ends on June 30.
"I will first of all take a holiday and I won't be coaching either abroad or at home from July 1. Then I'll see how it goes," he said during a 45 minute-long press conference packed with emotion.
"I told my wife after we lost the 2012 Champions League final that I would fulfil my contract, but not continue after that.
"I didn't take a holiday between last season and this one, in the last few weeks I have felt the wear and tear of my age.
"Recovery takes longer. I felt I was at my limit.
"The coach of FC Bayern has to take care of everything, you have to be a bit of a perfectionist and that is what I did."
Unforgettable season
After around 10,000 fans joined Sunday's celebrations in Munich as Bayern celebrated their treble triumph, Heynckes said he will never forget the season which saw Bayern break or equal 25 league records.
"We were all very impressed by how many thousands of fans came out to celebrate with us on Sunday, despite the terrible weather, you don't forget something like that," he said with tears in his eyes.
"I am very happy for my players, the club and all the people who are behind FC Bayern Munich."
Having started his career as a 19-year-old striker with Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1963, Heynckes' career spans a half century in the Bundesliga as he finishes his third stint as Bayern coach.
Having won the 1998 Champions League with Real Madrid, Heynckes confirmed the Spanish giants had approached him to replace Jose Mourinho, who returned to manage Chelsea on Monday.
"After a season like this, it's only natural that other clubs would be interested in me joining them. Big clubs, including Real Madrid, with lots of money and nice weather," said Heynckes.
After the most successful season in Bayern's history, Heynckes received plenty of deserved praise from the Bavarian giants' senior figures.
"There couldn't be a better or more deserved way of going. Many thanks, Jupp," said chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, while president Uli Hoeness added: "Jupp turned 25 players into friends. They followed him blindly, we can only be grateful."
It was also revealed Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger had a minor operation on his right leg in Zurich on Monday and will take a 10-day break before resuming training.

Review Price £399.00
Manufacturer: Apple
Changing a review score on TrustedReviews is not something we do often or lightly. In the case of the iPad Air 2, though, we felt it was necessary to increase the score to demonstrate that it is the best 10-inch tablet on the market and to reflect the TrustedReviews Tablet of the Year award it won in 2014.
Sometimes when we review a product we are guilty of looking at the horizon – looking at what's coming soon. I had one eye on Google's latest tablet when i reviewed the iPad Air 2, but the Nexus 9 didn't live up to the hype. In addition the more we've used the iPad Air 2 the more we've come to appreciate it's design, screen and power. This is the reason that we've changed the score to a 10 out of 10.
What is the iPad Air 2?The iPad Air was deserving of it's TrustedReviews Tablet of the Year award in 2013 and Apple has come up trumps again with the remarkable iPad Air 2. Remarkable for a tablet that is. You won't find the iPad Air 2 pushing the boundaries of innovation. It is rather the pinnacle of what's been done before – the best tablet we've ever reviewed. It's razor-thin, lightning fast and also comes with the best app selection bar none thanks to the Apple App Store.
So it's slimmer, lighter and faster than its predecessor, and the screen innovations Apple has brought are just what we've been looking for. There's a focus on improving your experience of using a tablet – it's not just about packing as many pixels as possible into the screen.
The most talked about new feature on the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3 is, of course, Touch ID. You can now use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad. It's about a lot more than that, though. Touch ID on the iPad Air 2 is all about Apple Pay and making it easy for you to purchase securely online at the touch of a button. This is a feature for the future, though. Apple Pay is still limited in its applications in the US and non-existent out of it.
Watch the iPad Air 2 video review:
iPad Air 2: DesignLast year's iPad deservedly won plaudits for its sleek aluminium design. It's an ergonomic tablet that also looks and feels premium.
Apple has, by and large, kept the same design for the iPad Air 2, which is no bad thing. But it's managed to improve on that design in some key aspects.
The iPad Air 2 is ludicrously thin at just 6.1mm, and light, too, at 437g. That's a whole 1.4mm slimmer and 32g lighter than last year's Air. It's not an unhealthy skinny, though – the Air 2 is rock solid. There's no paper-like film of plastic you might find on some other thin tablets. Instead the aluminium back feels strong and robust, with a slight grain that makes it easy to grip.
There has been one casualty in Apple's pursuit of a supermodel body. The iPad Air 2 is the first iPad without a mute/rotation-lock switch. It's a sacrifice we're not too upset by. You can still easily mute the Air 2 by pressing the volume down button for a second, and lock the screen rotation via the settings menu.
Other than that, the controls are similar to previous models. You get the volume buttons on the right edge and the power button at the top – easy enough to access and use.
The Lightning port for charging and data transfer is at the bottom, flanked by the stereo speaker grilles. It's not the best location for the speakers, as you can muffle them with your hand while holding holding the iPad Air 2 in landscape mode. We'd prefer front-facing speakers like the ones on the Nexus 9.
There's been a new colour added to the space grey and silver versions – gold. It's not too bling, though. The back is a light gold, almost champagne, and the front bezels are white. Our favourite colour remains the space grey.
Now to the additional feature we've already mentioned – Touch ID.
iPad Air 2: Touch IDTouch ID is Apple's fingerprint scanner. It works by securely storing your fingerprint on the device, so you can unlock the iPad Air 2 with a simple touch. It's super-slick but it's less of a boon on the iPad than it is on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. Phones are unlocked a lot more often and are used one-handed, so it's a neat feature on the iPad Air 2 rather than a game-changing one.
Where Touch ID makes a lot more sense on the iPad Air 2 is that Apple has now allowed developers to hook into it. So these days you can secure all your data on Evernote, for example, behind the peace of mind of your unique biometrics.
Apple's key reason behind adding Touch ID it to its latest tablets, though, is Apple Pay. Unlike on the iPhones, which come with NFC, you won't be able to use an iPad to tap and pay in a physical store. Where Apple Pay does impact iPad use is with buying things online.
Add your credit card details to the iPad Air 2 and you'll be able to use Touch ID to make purchasing dead simple. There are some limitations, though. Currently Apple Pay only works via apps, so you won't be able to make purchases through a browser.
The other problem is that it's not yet available in the UK unless you have a US credit card you can connect to it. This should change rapidly as retailers clamour to join up to Apple Pay and make it as easy as possible for you to part with your cash online. Although we've already seen some major US retailers refusing Apple Pay in favour of a rival payment system.
