Living the dream.
I've been in New Zealand for a week now, got 5 shows under the belt, 19 more to go.
Playing music for people who have never heard you and having a dance party break out, seeing beautiful sights you've never seen and meeting some of the nicest people ever.
I've been playing drums for 20 years, this is the first time I've travelled outside Canada with my music and all I can keep thinking about is how I've worked those 20 years for this moment. These are the times.
Happy new years everyone.
Re: Living the dream.
Congrats on your fun gig.
Re: Living the dream.
Nice one, jer. New Zealand is a great place. Are you playing all the gigs on the north island? You might not see the very south end of the south island because there's not much infrastructure there - but the scenery is incredible
And I also found the people to be relaxed and friendly.
How did the gig come about? What style of music is your band what kind of venues are you playing at?
Re: Living the dream.
Glad you're having a great time Jer. The Kiwi's are good people.
Will you be coming to Sydney Australia?
Re: Living the dream.
Down on the South Island now, in Dunedin... we are criss-crossing back and forth between the east and west coasts, few more shows here and we head for the North. Really looking forward to Milford Sound, but yeah, this is a beautiful country, and the Kiwi's are great! (great pic Polly!)
Not going to Australia, although our flight here did go through Sydney, only saw the inside of the airport as to avoid customs and our layover was only a few hours.
The band doing this is Jay Spectre, pretty sure the myspace link is in my sig, it's got all the dates and some pics on the blog if anyone is interested... mix of rock, funk, folk and some swing - stuff to get people dancing, which they have been :)
I have to give a shout out to The Ontario Arts Council, we were awarded an touring grant that pretty much covered our plane tickets, van and gear rental. We are staying in hostels or at 'new' friends places, buying groceries and trying to avoid spending a lot of money, our budget at the moment is showing $52 in the black - we aren't making any money, but the band is essentially paying for a month long trip of NZ, no complaints here!
I rented a kit and brought down my cymbals, snare and kick pedal - (a little concerned that I'm going to have to check my cymbals now with the current state of flying through the US, I bought a soft case specifically for the trip (Rock-Steady, which is awesome btw...)). The kit I got was from a mate as opposed to a store or hire company, 90's Tama Rockstar, good Sonar and Gibraltar hardware, but the drums themselves are rough - had to 'fix' a leg on the kick, basically put a bolt through it and tightened it and left it... reso skin on rack tom missing a lug screw, tuning was horrible until I could get to a music shop, same with the floor tom that was missing 2 lug screws... kick reso held on with 3, yes 3 screws. Not as much worried about it as I am the toms, I'll make do. Have them sounding passable now, but it took a few shows and some time but I got there, definitely better than spending the multiple hundreds we were quoted for a proper hire, our guitar amp cost $600 for the month...
Had an indecent with my digital camera and the tide coming in while watching the sun rise on the first morning we were here, picked up a new one yesterday - lesson learned... rocks really close to the water don't make good tripods in coastal regions, especially when you are up late enough to watch the sunrise when drinks were covered by the bar...
To make this thread less me-centric, I'd love to hear from some about when they first felt that (potentially years), of hard work finally paid off...
Re: Living the dream.
Congrats jer! Wishes of continued sucsess from your Canadian bretheren!!!
Re: Living the dream.
Thanks jer, interesting. A lot of organisation needed. Still don't know what kind of venues you're playing at, though :)
As you would have guessed, I took that pic at Milford Sound - such a spectacular place. I got up in the morning after three days at sea, walked out on to the deck and straight into a real life postcard. I ran back to the room and to see my (then) very cynical nephew, "Wake up! You have to see this!". He grumbled his way out of bed, walked onto the deck, then his jaw dropped and he said "[Fornicate] off!" in that way that young guys do when they are blown away :)
Dunedin on the other side of south island is nowhere near as pretty but I liked its rustic mood. It was like going back in time. Christchurch has a nice feel and Napier's great if you like art deco architecture (which I do).
Can't talk about all the practice paying off, though, because I've done diddly-squat. I'm just grateful I can play an instrument, really. People who can't play are often wish they could. From what I can tell you're enjoying the icing on the cake :)
Re: Living the dream.
It's Thurs and I do believe I missed a jam? Sorry.
Re: Living the dream.
Really looking forward to Milford Sound, part of the deal we worked out is getting out on one of the tour boats, should prove to be as jaw dropping as I've seen in pics - but yeah, this place is all one big postcard, insane how much the landscape changes over such short distances. Lots of sheep. Dunedin was for sure a bit of a trip into the past, especially Port Chalmers, where we played. Currently in Queenstown, reminds me a lot of Whistler, there are obvious similarities in landscape, but the people remind me too, I've met more foreigners than locals so far... no one actually seems to be from here.
Re: Living the dream.
We were lucky at Milford Sound because there are more rainy days than sunny ones. Even if it's raining I'm sure it will be a buzz.
Re: Living the dream.
Wow Jer, I've been off the site for a short while. Didn't know you were off on such an adventure. How fantastic your journey must be. Good luck in every gig and have the time of your life. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Re: Living the dream.
Sounds like there was a good sized punk movement here in the 70's-80's as well, but yeah, everyone mentioning the bands you did. Haven't yet experienced much of the Maori culture, but in a lengthy discussion about music with a local last night pointed out the same info about their singing. Thanks for the comp. on the music, people here seem to be diggin it, fully. We've not had a show where where people didn't end up dancing at some point. Dare I say we've getting a following too? Folks we've met along the way have come to more than one show and last night we had 3 different groups of people that we met come out, thay all love dancing, so they usually get the ball rolling on the dance floor - makes gig so much better for me when you know the crowd is feeling it.
KIS - thanks, friend. I didn't really discuss the trip to much before hand on the forums - rather tell it like it is than speculate what it's gonna be like, if that makes any sense...
We are now at the point where we've toured as long as we have in Canada, you really start to see the body pushed to it's limits when indulging in social activities at shows, can't keep it up too much longer, hard when bar tabs are included in the deal, I can sometimes be weak when the party is happening. That's a huge drawback (imo) to doing the bar circuit. For everyone else it's a one night happening, a reason to celebrate, for us it's just another day at the office, but you really want to have fun with the folks that made the effort to come out to your show.
I need to eat more greens, to many fish and chips and van food (pb+j, granola, bananas), should really get a good salad in me...
Cheers everyone.
Re: Living the dream.
I am so happy for you! To work for so long then arrive at this moment....well, just thanks for sharing your journey with us. Life SHOULD be an adventure! Take lots of pictures! We'll figure out how to see them when you get back :)!
Re: Living the dream.
The NZ expat bands who played here were always super-classy. I guess they were the cream of the crop, outgrew their local followings and decided to try it in the "big time" in Oz.
Pretty funny since we're such a backwater. A lot of the gear I read about in these pages isn't available in Oz (I've never looked an Istanbul or Petriloo PS4 in "person") and hardly any northern hemisphere companies will do online business with us convicts downunder :(
Whatever, I'm not in the least surprised that the Kiwis are embracing the band.
And yes, fruit and veggies! I'm past the half century mark but I'm often told I look as though I'm in my thirties - despite a youth spent smoking, drinking and generally getting trashed and having late nights. But I always ate lots of fruit and veggies :)
Re: Living the dream.
It becomes harder when the bar staff are pracically pouring it down your throught... kinda common that a round of shots are sent to the stage multiple times a night... anyways, had a quiet couple of days with little drinkging, feeling better now. We had amazing weather in Milford Sound as well... killer show too - played for mainly staffers who worked at the lodges or on the cruise ships, we had the entire place (but 2 guys we had the crowd Boo! for not getting up), dancing, Jagerbombs, open bar, 3 hours sleep and a drive to Christchurch, gig there, 4 hours sleep and a drive to Picton, played on the ferry over to Wellington, had a night off last night, i thiknk it's 6 shows in a row before we get a day off again, there is laundry here so I'm taking advantage...
Our day in Milford Sound...
Thanks for the advice and encouragement Polly...
Re: Living the dream.
Way prefered the South Island to the North by a mile........Been to Christchurch, Dunedin (damn cold at the time) and Queenstown (best place in New Zealand I visited)
Up North nice enough but didn't find people as friendly as the South. Rotora, Taupo then up to Whangeri!!
It is a beautiful place, it's a myth about the sheep...........man never seen so many cows!!!
Re: Living the dream.
Jer, that's a fantastic photo! I was on a cruise ship and unfortunately never went ashore. Playing a gig in Milford Sound - definitely something you'll never forget. I'm feeling jealous now :)
Re: Living the dream.
Malti - thanks for the kind words! I hope to get as many photos online when I get back, until then...
Mt. Cook...
Re: Living the dream.
Glad to hear the tour's living up to expectations. I'll have to get to NZ one day. So you're in Wellington. My sister in law lives there and is giving birth in one of those birth pool things as I type this. As you have a day off, maybe the band could go round there and provide a rousing serenade? (the ? at the end of the sentence is my very English nod at a typical Antipodean upward inflection, eh Pol?). I know the birthing pool doesn't quite compare to Milford Sound, but think of the unique band photo opportunity!! Shall I call her & confirm? LOL, KIS.
Re: Living the dream.
Sorry Jer, you missed the gig. She gave birth to a 9lb boy at 2:00 AM Wellington time. Recon you should be relaxing after your gig by then. How did it go? My sister in law tells me the Wellington crowd is quite music savvy. Good luck for the rest of your tour.
Re: Living the dream.
Ya, I think we were still rockin' Welly at 2am. Was a very enthusiastic crowd, got 'em dancing once again - treated awesome by the folks at Royal Hotel in Palmerston North, thin crowd there, but had 'em up dancing none the less...
Comped steak for dinner tonight, chocolate mudslide cake and ice cream for dessert, open tab at the bar... saw the sun come up again last night, found good sleeping position in the van that doesn't paralyze my back - a good day.
Does the new born have a name yet?

Hilbert Goes to Extra Innings
Drops Two Against Franciscan
- Release Date:
- May 1, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ERIE, PA – In the second game of the week at a neutral site location, the Hilbert softball team was swept by Franciscan University at Penn State Behrend's campus April 30, 10-9 and 7-0. Devan Jonathan (Basom, NY/Akron) went 3 for 6 sending in 3RBI for the Hawks in their two AMCC losses.
In the morning game, the Hawks held a 9-6 lead before the 'home team' tied it up in the bottom of the 7th inning forcing extra innings. Hilbert was held scoreless in the top of the 8th after a runner was placed on 2nd base to start the extra period. Three of Hilbert's four batters flied out to end their rotation. When it was Franciscan's turn at bat, they moved the runner on second into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Their next two batters were intentionally walked by Hilbert to load the bases looking for and easy out. The Barons next batter singled sending home the winning run stealing the 10-9 game from the Hawks. Jonathan went 3 for 4 with the 3RBI but she had some help from Allison Hall (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) and Sara Graves (Retsof, NY/York) 2 RBI's.
The Hawks seemed ready to redeem themselves in the night cap game after the way they opened the game moving around the bases the first two innings. But starting in the 3rd inning, the Hawk bats shut down and on average, there were 4 batters per inning and no runs scored. The Barons had a big four-run 3rd inning which seemed to shut down the Hawks. Franciscan scored three more runs in the 6th and after holding Hilbert scoreless in their next at-bats, the green and white grabbed two games for the day from the Hawks.
Hilbert closes their season out on May 1st when they host Mount Aloysius College at Erie Community College's north campus.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Belton (December 4, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team placed eight players on the D3football.com All-South Region Team, released today. The Cru had four First Team selections, two Second Team picks and two Third Team honorees. UMHB also swept the South Region Player of the Year awards with senior linebacker Javicz Jones taking Defensive Player of the Year honors and senior quarterback LiDarral Bailey claiming Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Jones, a senior linebacker from Katy Morton Ranch High School, took D3football.com South Region Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second straight year and also earned a spot on the All-South Region First Team Defensive. Jones leads the Cru with 125 tackles this season and broke the UMHB and American Southwest Conference career tackle record this year. He also has a school record seven interceptions, 11.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, two blocked kicks and six pass break-ups. Jones has four defensive touchdowns and a safety on the season.
Bailey, a senior quarterback from Bremond High School, claimed D3football.com Offensive Player of the Year honors and also earned a spot on the All-South Region First Team Offense. Bailey has shattered every UMHB single-season passing record this season, hitting 186-257 passes for 2,529 yards and 30 touchdowns. He has thrown just three interceptions and ranks second in the country in pass efficiency. Bailey also leads the team in rushing with 937 yards and 13 touchdowns on 133 carries.
Bailey was joined on the All-South Region First Team Offense by guard Michael Coles and tackle Sam Maxie. Coles, a senior from San Antonio Stevens High School, is the team's highest-grading offensive lineman. Maxie, a senior from Austin Bowie High School, ranks right behind Coles and the duo helps clear the way for a rushing attack that averages 306.5 rushing yards and 542.3 yards of total offense per game.
Defensive tackle Silvio Diaz and safety Mike Maldonado were both named to the Second Team All-South Region Defense. Diaz, a junior from Leander High School, leads UMHB with 16.0 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He also has 51 total tackles and two pass break-ups. Maldonado, a senior from El Paso Del Valle High School, has 70 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions and a team-high four forced fumbles.
Tight end Tyler Coker and running back Elijah Hudson were both Third Team All-Region Offensive selections. Coker, a senior from Salado High School, is a punishing blocker and also has 10 receptions for 125 yards and four touchdowns on the season. Hudson, a junior from Albany High School, has 664 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns and 25 catches for 357 yards and another score.
The D3football.com All-Region Teams are selected in balloting of Sports Information Directors and D3football.com staff members. Bailey and Jones become the first teammates to sweep South Region Player of the Year honors since Wesley College accomplished that feat in 2006. Washington and Jefferson head coach Mike Sirianni was named South Region Coach of the Year.
UMHB is 13-0 on the season and will face top-ranked Mount Union in the NCAA Division III National Semifinals this Saturday in Alliance, Ohio. The Cru is 13-0 for the first time in school history and has already tied the school and conference record for wins in a season.

About Us | Our Vineyards | Upcoming Events | Visit Us
Mark Wagner founded Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars and has consistently produced award-winning wines with his own grapes since the 1990 vintage. Mark's family has been in the Seneca Lake grape business since the time of his great grandfather, and since the 1940s has produced vitis labrusca and French-American hybrid grapes for sale to big wine producers like Taylor and Widmer. As the giants began to stumble and estate wineries emerged in the wake of the Farm Winery Act of 1976, Mark took over the family business in 1978 and shifted the emphasis of the family farm to cultivating premium vitis vinifera grapes to supply the budding new wineries. Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars was the logical culmination of generations of grape-growing knowledge and decades of Mark's viticulture experience.
The soaring Greek Revival building, which was designed by Ithacan native Bruce Corson, opened on August 30, 1992, and offers visitors unparalleled views of more than 25 miles of water on Seneca Lake. Lamoreaux Landing is aptly named after a 19th century steamboat landing on Seneca Lake, and the pilings from this dock can still be seen below the vineyards down on the lake. However, this connection to the deep waters of Seneca Lake extends way beyond a geographical namesake or signature view. In the winter months, radiant heat from the lake insulates nearby vineyards, protecting the vines even on the coldest days when the air temperature in the region drops below zero degrees Fahrenheit, which is cold enough to kill delicate European vines like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Merlot.
The original vineyards are planted on lands recognized as far back as the 1800s as ideal for grape cultivation. Superior soil content, gently sloping hills, unusual prevailing wind patterns, ample sunlight, and proximity to the deep waters of Seneca Lake are all important ingredients that contribute to the production of Lamoreaux Landing's premium estate-bottled wines.

Listen! My love is approaching. Look! Here he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.This for all of us who are over the hill
Just 2 amazing verses that lept out at me today"10 The Lord said, "Sing for joy, people of Jerusalem! I am coming to live among you!"11 At that time many nations will come to the Lord and become his people. He will live among you, and you will know that he has sent me to you. 12 Once again Judah will be the special possession of the Lord in his sacred land, and Jerusalem will be the city he loves most of all.13 Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, for he is coming from his holy dwelling place."
Therefore, through Him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess His name.

Children grow up in many different kinds of families. Some live with their mum and dad, some are adopted, others have two mums or two dads. The Teachers' Report found three quarters of primary school teachers hear children use the phrases 'that's so gay' or 'you're so gay' and two in five primary school teachers say children experience homophobic bullying. Fear of bullying can stop children from talking about their families and from doing what they enjoy.
All schools have a legal obligation to respond to homophobic bullying and by celebrating difference they can prevent it from happening in the first place. Stonewall has developed this series of resources designed to help primary schools tackle homophobic bullying. Resources can be downloaded here or ordered by emailing email@example.com, please note there may be a charge for large orders.
A comprehensive pack with a selection of resources for primary school staff and parents and carers to celebrate difference - at school, at home and in the community. Primary school resource packs include:
Colourful, age appropriate resources for display in classrooms, corridors and as teaching materials.

Multifocal sensor system Panomera®
The multifocal sensor system Panomera® is a completely new and already patented camera technology which was specially developed for the all-encompassing video surveillance of expansive areas.
Panomera® models
"Baseline", "Topline" and "Nightline" series
The Panomera® lines differ primarily in light sensitivity and frame rate. The models within the individual series differ by the number of sensors they have and thus by their aperture angle and the distance up to which persons can be recognised or identified.
The international airport at Naples, Napoli Capodichino Airport, is used by 6 million travellers every year. With the introduction of the Panomera® multifocal sensor system from Dallmeier, security in both the apron and the airport forecourt areas is enhanced further still by the very latest in camera technology.
Trains of the South African public transport operator PRASA are serviced and prepared for their next deployment at the marshalling yards in Braamfontein and Wolmerton. To enable the best possible surveillance of the expansive grounds, which are sometimes partly hidden from view as well, the multifocal sensor technology Panomera® by Dallmeier is being used.

This disease is characteristic of human pregnancies, and there aren't a lot of tests for factors known to predispose otherwise healthy young women to develop it, partly because a big chunk of the problem comes from your partner's genetic contribution to the pregnancy. Our Experts aren't even universally endorsing testing as necessary - because the thing about this syndrome is that it happens to humans, with awesome regularity, in first pregnancies particularly.
Once it's happened to you, you need additional monitoring in subsequent pregnancies because odds are that you'll have a successful pregnancy, but your tendency towards "breakdown of maternal tolerance" has been unmasked.
That might be genetic, might be environmental, might well be *both* - and it's utterly characteristic of human beings.
So testing will probably just tell any of us, oh look, you're human, making babies with another human. Nothing to see here, in other words. and the docs do not explain this well, in my experience anyway.

Adoption Story:
We have a border collie, Wilson, who is the best dog ever, and we wanted him to have a companion/job. We adopted Scooter when he was 5 months old and Wilson gladly helped us raise him.
We did not intend to get a dog the night we went to the Wolves game, But once my husband, Dave, and son, Matt, saw Scooter, they did not want to leave without him. He is the best spontaneous decision we ever made. He loves people and because he is adorable, people love him. He makes us laugh every day.
Thank you for letting people adopt their new family members at the games. We have always been and always will be big fans of the Chicago Wolves.

Miami Law's award-winning clinics are exceptional training grounds and give students the unparalleled opportunity to work with clients, serve the public, and acquire valuable legal skills helping under-represented individuals and groups in Miami and across the nation and the globe. For many students, participating in a clinic is one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences they will have in law school.
Our clinics include:
The Eleanor R. Cristol and Judge A. Jay Cristol Bankruptcy Pro Bono Assistance Clinic at Miami Law offers pro bono legal services to low-income individuals who are dealing with bankruptcy.
The Children & Youth Law Clinic is an in-house, live-client clinic established in 1995 by the Law School. The Clinic represents children in foster care and former foster youth in dependency, health care, mental health, disability, independent living, education, immigration and other general civil legal matters, ensuring that they have a voice in court proceedings.
The Death Penalty Clinic allows reliable law students to litigate capital cases while providing the students an academic experience of a lifetime. Our program is the first such program in Florida and the first program in the nation to allow certified students to speak on the record on death cases.
The Federal Appellate Clinic is a one-semester, four-credit course that provides upper-level students with the opportunity to plan, research, and draft federal appeals for indigent criminal defendants. The aim of the clinic is to provide advanced instruction in written advocacy, client counseling, and legal analysis.
The Health Rights Clinic (formerly the Health and Elder Law Clinic) is a Medical-Legal Partnership with the Miller School of Medicine. The Clinic is a two-semester, 12-credit course in which students assist low-income health-impaired clients under the supervision of a professor and clinical instructors.
The Human Rights Clinic exposes students to the practice of law in the international and cross-cultural context of human rights litigation and advocacy.
Established in the fall of 2009, the Immigration Clinic provides a challenging opportunity for students to advocate on behalf of immigrants in a wide variety of complex immigration proceedings. In addition to helping individual clients, students collaborate with other immigrant rights groups on projects that reform the law and advance the cause of social justice for immigrants.
The Innocence Clinic is dedicated to identifying and rectifying wrongful convictions and is a clinic committed to exonerating innocent individuals and combating injustice. The clinic represents cases involving innocent individuals incarcerated for a minimum of 10 years who have new evidence ranging from recanting witnesses to new witnesses discovered by students to prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel.
The Investor Rights Clinic is the newest live-client clinic to join the Law School's practical program. The Clinic is a one-semester clinic staffed by second and third-year law students who represent under-served investors in securities arbitration claims against their brokers before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
The Tenants' Rights Clinic is designed to allow law students to represent low-income tenants in litigation and administrative hearings. Cases primarily involve evictions from public and subsidized housing, terminations of Section 8, and denial of affordable housing applications.

If you were to look for parallels across history to compare with the next 600 words you are about to read, upon reflection Ive come up with one: Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address.
Yes, the magnitude of what Im about to say is indeed that huge.
Because a kajillion score and seven years ago, God put upon this earth the cow, and smiled down from on high and said, Lets barbecue, yall, assuming of course God was Southern born and raised.
My dream came true recently in Atlanta, in a restaurant alongside kith and kin, where I ate all the steak I ever wanted in the world. It was served to me by a smiling goucho (thats Brazilian for cowboy) carrying a sword.
Let me repeat.
I had steak.
On a SWORD!
At 56 years of age, I cried like the inner eight year old child I am that finally got his beloved new bike on Christmas morning.
All-you-can-eat steak? This is my Christmas morning.
How much steak can I eat? I asked Guillermo, our server as he explained the finer nuances of dining a Fogo De Choa, a 4.5 star Brazilian steakhouse located in the Buckhead restaurant district on Piedmont Road in Atlanta.
Guillermo just smiled and said, almost like Ricardo Montalban, My friend, you can eat all the steak you want.
I nearly jumped to my feet with glee, Oh how? Oh how?
Guillermo displayed my coaster badge for all to see, When you want meat, simply flip the coaster over so that the green side is showing upward.
The rules were this simple: Green means go. Red means stop.
You are now invited to sample our vast salad bar full of standard Brazilian fare.
I grabbed the two-sided coaster and slapped it down on the table green-side up while slipping on my safety goggles.
Guillermo, my friend, I did not come here to sup on greenery. I came here to embrace my place on this earth as a carnivore. So please, I want a dead animal on my plate and I want it now.
I lowered the goggles, Im going in.
They brought out Parmeasean roasted pork loin and chicken first and I waved it away.
Nay, a thousand times nay, I want steak!
And then I saw the next goucho in line, approaching with a smile.
He had steak.
On a SWORD!
For the next two-and-a-half hours we ate. My family can run an all-you-can-eat buffet out of business we eat so much.
We are the only family that cut a funeral short because we had to get to the Olive Garden to eat by 11:30 a.m. if we wanted to do Skyline Chili by five.
Step on it preacher, I whispered in his ear and slipped him a fiver. If we want five-ways and Coneys by five, we need to be munching on salad and breadsticks in twenty minutes. Lets wrap this up.
I should add they served us filet mignon... wrapped in bacon... on a SWORD!
I would be remiss if I didnt say the reason we had all gathereed was for the occasion of my daughters 28th birthday.
My son-in-law asked the question on everyones minds, How much steak do you think we ate?
Guillermo was passing by, Three pounds, he offered.
We did the math.
Three ounces per portion. We counted 18 to 20 steaks at three ounces per portion, equaling 48 ounces.
Three pounds of steak. For fifty bucks. Worth every penny.

text: Sex & Disco is described as a "sparkling cool silver [with a Lustre finish]." It's a lavender-tinted gray with silver sparkle. This shade embodies a true Lustre finish, as it was powdery, glittery, and sheer–it's the type of texture that doesn't bind together, so you're left with sparkle that gets everywhere but the lid. A lot of the fall out ended up underneath the eye during application, but there were still a few stray sparkles after wearing it all day. MAC Time to Tango is darker, purpler. MAC Amethyst is warmer. MAC Silverwear is less sparkly. See comparison swatches.

I am a housewife whose son insists I cannot play this game because I am too old at 51. I tried and I am presently just learning to play the second tutorial and I suck.
Some background I am an Everquest player from when it launched in 1999 who has played almost every MMORPG and I have played Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War and Warcraft 3 ,just a bit of the latter. I know my RTS knowledge is quite small but this is just to give you an idea of how I play. I bind all my skills on a G700 mouse when I play MMORPG and I have pvped mainly in WoW bgs. I enjoy playing support in City of X I played controller with heal secondary of shielding MM or a straight out priest in WoW. I however PvPed in WoW as a shaman and druid.
I enjoyed watching the gamspot DOTA 2 vids and that was how my interest got sparked to LoL. However I am quite afraid my son might be right. I want to try a support role so in your opnion how should I work to my goal and which character should I buy with my points to help me get to a support role and will support be easier for me to play in LoL or should I try ranged dps like ashe.

Theres a ranking system called "ELO" they use. Good is relative to the ELO youre at. You may be good at lower levels, or bad at higher levels. The idea is that there are crazy good people that they try to seperate from the mediocre people.
Not saying youre bad, its definately a fun game. But there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of REALLY BAD players out there. Hopefully youll raise above them and learn to play decently.
Good support items generally include auras to buff other characters (Aegis of the Legion) or activatbles (like "Shurelya's Reverie" or "Locket of the Iron Solari")
Okay I will aim for those with my bot games when I start earning some wins.

Hi there, I am a Leauge of Legends player and I hope to give you some good advice. First off, I would recommend playing against the AI. [Play game, Co-op, summoners rift, beginner]. The AI is bots (not real players) so its good practice to play against them although they are no substitute for real players, but you should practice on them, get a feel for some of the champions that you'd like to try.
Next , you shouldn't focus on one role such as support, because as you become higher leveled and play against other players, you will need to have practice with all types of champions because whatever role your group needs. MOBA games are very different in this aspect in that you don't have only one primary champion.
As to what champions you wish to buy... I have some advice. These are all very cheap champions and some of them are "recommended" by Roit games as well.
Annie: She is a mage dps who hits very hard but very fragile.
Ashe: You already know, also very fragile.
Jax: He is a meele/magic bruiser. He is more tanky than above two but does less damage.
Yi: He is a meele dps, but also very fragile.
Soraka: Good support class, can heal, can restore mana to allies, can silence enemy for short time and also decent damage.
These are all the ones I can think of right now, but just check your profile > champions and filter out what you want and see how much they cost. Another advice I can give you is don't buy tier 1 or tier 2 runes as they are a waste of money. By the time you can buy tier 3 runes, you will hopefully know what purpose runes serve and make an informed desicion.
One of the above posts mentioned elo. In LoL there are 3 main types of gameplay. One is a normal game which is player versus player, another is bot game which is player vs AI and the last one is ranked game. This ranked game you need not worry too much about because you can't participate in it till you are level 30 (Roit's way of making sure everyone on equal playing feild).
I would recommend playing bots for a while until you are familiar with champions etc (ex: how to play them, how to fight against them etc). Then when you feel you are ready, try some normal games, don't worry, the matchmaking system will put you against players of your same level, so you won't be at an disadvantage in terms of runes or masteries. Be careful though, normal games and ranked games can be very depressing. I've had players who use no brain whatsoever, had players trolling, had players who had very slow reaction times ( they walk by enemy champion ) Anyway I hoped this little guide helped you and hope you have fun

Funnily enough my son is pretty good at it but I suck at it like you. I tend to prefer simple elegant games of the 'simple to learn a lifetime to master' variety. LoL is a game of knowledge, lots of knowledge there is a vast number of bits of 'stuff' that you need to learn it seems. Counter x23 with j48 unless you are in the bottom lane and one of your opponents left trouser legs is rolled up.
I enjoy complexity but LoL just didn't really jive with me.
I have enough to buy one champ. Probably Soraka. Thank you for all the good advice.
Just focus on playing Co-op vs AI for now and use that to learn the ins & outs of your champion(s). It will also help you learn when is the best time to engage and disengage. And keep doing it until you can consistently beat Intermediate bot matches without dying, or just dying once or twice. Heck, I don't think I even touched the PvP side of things until I was summoner level 18.
As for champion choice, start off buy playing easy to use champions top learn the basics of the game with, then pick one that suits your paystyle. Do that by trying out as many champions as you can, available during the free weeks. I personally learnt the basics of the game with Master Yi, because he was cheap and easy to use. I then learnt how to play ranged and use skill-shots with Sivir. Then I got Ahri because she suits my playstyle.

This is like trying to drive straight through Schroedinger's minefield!
Learn ALL the champions' skills. (Don't worry about that, it comes naturally.)
Watch videos and read some guides. (solomid.net)
Play play play. Leave your comfort zone champions every once in a while. Try different lanes. etc.
Its a very viral game you just have to get a feeling for. And don't worry about ELO, thats basically your win/lose ratio in ranked games...

Its a really long road, not going to lie. I remember forgetting which sections items in my build were located in lol. Best thing you can do is practice different methods with a teammate familiar with the game and make sure your not doing anything too out of whack, because if you practice bad methods than your really not perfecting anything. Really get used to the tactics/timing/ and concepts. Once you get the mind game down, then the physical memory and skill usage mastery can take place.

I don't know why someone even brought up ELO in this thread, when it doesn't even matter at this point. Heck, I consider myself to be a reletively good LoL player, yet I have no ELO to speak of.
I tried Sona cos she was free and all and I really am bad at playing her was a disaster died like 4 times in a bot game then I tried Garan the melee guy also free and did way better , even managed 6 champ kills . So I bought Master Yi instead of a support champ.
I really like the game .

Glad you're enjoying it. If melee is your thing then last week was a good week for you, since it had Tryndamere (an easy & forgiving champ to get to grips with). There's also Olaf & Volibear, but for now stick with Master Yi & Garen. Mobafire is a good starting spot to find basic builds.

I actually came into the thread to recommend Sona, it's a shame that you didn't have a good time playing her. It is helpful to learn the abilities of all of the characters so that you know what to watch out for. Playing a tankier champion (instead of a fragile champ like Sona) gives you a more little leeway to make the mistake of getting too close to an enemy champion who is dangerous enough to kill you. After you get a little more used to the game, I hope you do give support another try.
One very very important thing to remember is that kills and deaths are not a good indicator of how good you are at the game, especially when playing a support role. If your death is a sacrifice that allows someone else on your team to get away or secure a kill on the enemy carry, that's a trade in your team's favor. Support champions shouldn't be getting kills—in fact, it's not a stretch at all to say that a 0/6 Soraka is probably doing a better job than a 6/6 Soraka.
If you ever want to quickly find out the abilities of a champion that you're playing again, search for Champion Mini on Ciderhelm's YouTube channel. Among other things, he does these mini 30-second videos that quickly explain how to play against a certain champ.
Right now though the champion I love to play is Heimerdinger who is an absolute blast to play. I have so much fun he is a riot and very , very good at pushing a lane. Only problem is when I read up about him I saw he is not liked in ranked games. Deemed a feeder and often considered a burden as he has no escape mechanism and gets ganged up on and killed very early and often . So sad was thinking of buying the little bugger.
I think I will get Morgana next then as I enjoy the gameplay of mage more than I did Master Yi for some reason I seem to suck at it but need more practice before I can decide. I might get better with practice with Yi. I could not decide between Twisted Fate and Katarina for my next or damnit I might just get Heimerdinger anyway.
About Sona I just did not understand how best to play her and I think random matches do not really exploit her abilities and I ended up with very little money too and dying and hardly getting any last shots as I left that to the carry. I did not understand her 'Q' was an attack really coupled with her passive and actually can kill quite well until after a bot Sona killed me twice in a game.
What I've found is that Heimerdinger is an opposing Jungler's dream. You said it yourself that Heimendinger is good at pushing lanes. Well that is not a good thing when the enemy team has a Jungler, which they usually do. Junglers look at 2 things before deciding where to gank. How far the opposing team has pushed their lane and how easy to kill the enemy is. Well without even trying, Heimerdinger will push his lane but not only that. He is as squishy as a plate of jello. In mid lane he may be able to escape with flash, but top of bot lane he is a guaranteed kill (unless the jungler epically failed) and thus Heimerdinger will be labelled as a feeder.
I watched a few videos on how to play Master Yi I get it now how his 'q' works. Wow what a difference to last hits and money that made. Suddenly I am number 2 in minion killed count. This game looks deceptively easy until you start playing it and the AI rocks I mean the AI on the bot that is really play well. I love how they group up and gank you when you are in the middle lane by coming up the side of the river. Of course real people will be ten times worse to face but right now these games with AI are very good in fact they play better than the AI in normal MMORPG games. The controls you know the click to move since I am a WASD person took some getting used to and map awareness which is something I am still picking up but am beginning to like the game even more .
My next buy I have Morgana and Master Yi now , I was thinking of either buying Orianna ,Le Blanc or Irelia but I will wait till I can try them for free. I am also considering Annie or Ryze. Ryze probably will be a definite. I really enjoy Morgana and was thinking another mage. My son says for me not to consider any of the 6300 ip ones as they will be too hard for me.
Yeah, I cannot stress enough how important map awareness is in LoL and warding is a vital part of that. Eventually you'll use it to learn the patterns of the bots you face and able to predict when they will gank and anticipate where they will pass through. Then once you're able to utilize that skill in a player vs player match, you'll frustrate the enemy because of how hard to gank you are and you will be able to counter gank and get some easy kills.
Morgana is an excellent champ. So good in fact that she's banned in most ranked games for some reason. As for the rest of the champs you mentioned:
- Orianna is quite finicky to use and you definitely must wait for a free week to try her, because chances are you won't like her play style.
- Le Blanc is a one trick pony. Has a ridiculous burst combo that can almost guarantee a kill, but that's pretty much it and after that burst combo she's pretty much useless for 20-30 seconds.
- Irelia is my go to champ for top lane. Played her for the 1st time during the recent free week and fell in love with her immediately. Even when built with mostly defensive items she can kill almost any champ in the game, when played well. Better nerf Irelia.
- Annie... I haven't played her that much but she's scary. She's cheap so buy her if you want.
- Ryze is a faceroll champion. I personally found him incredibly easy to play, thus boring.
That's all and one champion to consider if you feel like trying support, but don't like feeling like a healbot, then go Blitzcrank.
I need some advice on one other thing. It is about the camera. My son says that I have to let the camera be free you know where if you hit the edge of the screen your view moves there instead of me in the center. Presently I use the little rectangle on the mini map to see what is going on but he says I can never be any good unless I let the camera be free. I cannot play like that it makes me a little sick and I get a headache I cannot focus well and I am making a tonne of mistakes trying to play like that. Does that make such a huge difference or can I keep doing what I am doing ? I do not think I can play with the camera free I might as well give up now.
The other thing is I am wondering by trying really hard I managed to kill 6 champions yesterday with Master Yi but it is so hard for me to manage it and one person who was playing Le Blanc on another game killed 43. The gap is so huge ,I know it cannot be the champion because someone else who played Master Yi managed a high number too. Does the fact that they have a level 30 with full runes and masteries make that big of an impact on their powers. I hope to eventually get somewhere I can also see numbers like that but who am I kidding huh . Well anything you might wish to share will be graetly appreciated and thank you Master 10k for indulging me.
With reagrds to the camera... the free camera really does make a difference, because it allows you to keep an eye on areas, much easier, than with a locked camera. Like let's say there's a support nidalee or a blitzcrank in a bush and you know that they can kill you or pull you in. You would want to keep your camera, so that you can always see the bush, without having to go next to it. Also not playing with a free camera will make certain champions unplayable (anyone with a long ranged ultimate like Ashe or Kog'maw).
As for the importance of runes... Yes runes are signiciantly important in the early stages of the game as they can mean the difference between getting a kill or having your target escape with 50hp. Only recently I decided to play a bot match with a newbie friend and removed all my runes just to be fair. I played my best champion (Ahri) and I barely got any kills myself. Whereas this week I played Cho'gath for the 1st time and got well over 20 kills. Worst thing is that you should not buy any runes until you are level 20 and can get Tier 3 runes. Tier 1 & Tier 2s are a waste of IP.
BTW... What's your summoner name?

Happy New Year, my dear blog friends! I hope you and yours have had a healthy and happy holiday, and that you've eaten as well as I have since the last time I checked in. It's been a whirlwind couple of months for me – filled with friends and frolic – but I've missed sharing with you what Lolita has been making and eating. I'll start back again today with an elegant, delicious meal I've tried a few times before with limited success. It's the technique really; I'd never effectively executed the pan-searing of this lovely piece of scallop-potato wrapped whitefish before, at least, not without the potato slices falling off whenever I tried to flip the fillet. But I'm not one to give up, especially on a succulent meal, and after doing a little research online about how others have made this lovely spud-swaddled delicacy successfully, I tried it again with incredible results. A crispy wrapping of thinly sliced potatoes is *exactly* what a plank of cod needs to make it something extra-special, and when served atop a bed of bacony garlic greens, it makes a perfect meal: balanced, light, and helluva tasty, yo.
Potato Wrapped Cod with Bacony Garlicky Greens
1lb cod fillet
2 slices bacon
1 large russet potato
4 cloves garlic
1 bunch lacinato kale
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons EVOO
hickory smoked garlic salt, crushed black pepper, crushed red pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 qt frying oil
(Ignore those mushrooms and that onion; I didn't end up using them)
I start by peeling my potato, removing as many surface blemishes as possible.
Using my mandoline's lowest setting, I slice my potato into the longest wafers I can. I drop these into a bowl of water to keep them from turning color.
I layer the slices of potato between sheets of paper towel to dry them once I'm finished slicing up the whole spud.
After heating my quart of oil to 375, I drop a few slices of potato into the fat at a time, par-frying them for barely a moment.
Fishing them out with a slotted or mesh spoon, I lay them in a single layer across some fresh paper towels (with a paper bag underneath for extra absorption) to soak up all the excess oil. This par-frying technique softens the slices by leeching off a good deal of the starch; this makes them easier to wrap around the fish.
Speaking of which: look at that beautiful thing. I asked the fishmonger at Whole Foods for this mostly uniform sized and shaped plank of cod, so I could cut it into two equally sized pieces – one for me, and one for the husbandman.
Some dear friends of mine (Hey, Montana Palmers!) sent me a lovely care packages of their homemade spices as a Christmas present, and I've been working them all into my recipes ever since they arrived. This hickory smoked garlic salt was just the fit for this meal. I sprinkle it, and some cracked black pepper, generously over my fish.
After laying down a large piece of plastic wrap, I assemble my slices of potatoes by overlapping them at the very edges and ends to form a "sheet" large enough to accommodate my plank of fish. It takes 8 slices for each piece.
I place my piece of fish on the center seam of spuds…
… and using the plastic wrap, I wrap one half of the spuds over the fish. I lay that part of the plastic wrap on the counter again…
… before using the other side of the wrap to lift and layer the other side of the spuds over the fish, overlapping the potato slices already in place.
Then I tightly seal the plastic wrap around the whole package, before repeating with the other portion of fish. I place these beauties in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour.
Meanwhile, I cut my two slices of bacon into inch long pieces before frying them out in a large pan.
I also prep my kale by removing the stems and cutting each leaf into bite sized pieces. I also mince my 4 cloves of garlic.
After an hour, my potato slices have adhered to the fish planks nicely, and they're ready for cooking. I sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each "package"…
… and place them in a hot pan in which I've heated my butter and EVOO to frothy and sizzling. I cook these arroser, which means I use a deep spoon (I use a miso soup spoon, actually; the flat bottom is very helpful!) to scoop up the fat from the pan and baste the tops of my fish packets while the bottoms sear on the pan's surface. Since I have thick pieces of fresh cod, and I want to make sure any worms are safely destroyed (look it up, people – there are Lernaeocera branchialis in most fresh white fish, but cooking to 140° kills 'em good), I sear on each side – basting continuously – for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, I add my kale to the pan with the bacon and cook until slightly wilted. Then I throw in all my garlic, a few shakes of crushed red pepper, and some salt, and I stir it around really really well. I don't want the garlic to burn or brown, but I do want it nicely heated through and thoroughly blended with the greens.
At the last moment, I remove the kale from the heat, shave some parm on it, and plate it.
My fish is ready when each side of it is nicely browned and crispy.
I mix a little Greek yogurt with crushed black pepper and a little lemon juice, stick that into a squeeze bottle, and use it to garnish my lovely fish. The crispy, potato exterior is the perfect compliment to the flaky fish ensconced within. The greens are perfectly wilted – still a little toothsome, but not stringy – and the abundance of garlic offsets the unctiousness of the bacon like a champ. Each bite of this meal is like warm heaven…

Leaving a legacy
There are a couple of things more important in life than just about anything—even money. Faith, family, friends and forgiveness are just a few of life's most important things. Another thing important to many Illinois families is the family farm. It's where roots are put down literally and figuratively. It represents more than a business. […]
Maple sirup the sweet tradition of Funks Grove
It was so peaceful, that grove of trees with snow-covered branches. It somehow took me back to my childhood and reading Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I wanted to be part of the family as they visited Grandpa's house and went out to tap the maple trees and watched, and […]
A small town preserves its roots and prospers
The festival was in full swing when I drove into the tiny village with Swedish-American roots in western Illinois. Traditionally dressed dancers were performing a Swedish folk dance in the shadow of an ornate gazebo as visitors meandered along flower-laden streets walking in and out of the village's historic buildings and gift shops. This is […]
