How Trust wins you games – In Depth Guide
So, i am working on a Guide right now, and i have the feeling that it is missing something.
I post it here both so you can read (and maybe use) it yourself, and give some criticism, maybe ideas or additions.
Sorry for the weird formatting, i wrote it in a different document pasted it here.
How Trust wins you games – In Depth Guide
Why should I read this wall of text?
Hereafter, I will explain the concept of "trust", and how it wins you games. It will explain why flaming is always a bad idea, how you can stop to flame, how you can stop others to flame, and how you can make the most out of it when your allies perform bad and still win the game.
In short, this wall of text is interesting for you if:
· You want to learn how to turn around games using "trust"
· You want to learn how "not-flaming" benefits you (you personally, not others)
· You want to know how to make others stop to flame
· You want to get out of league hell (and your desire is justified by your skill level)
If you are still not sure whether you are interested or not, read the disclaimer and another 2 paragraphs. After then you will know whether this is worth your while.
The entire concept of trust is a way to win games even though you have teammates that perform worse than you this game.
In other words: This concept will not help you if YOU perform bad. It helps you when you perform good, and YOUR TEAM is doing bad. I, for example, have been playing a lot of mid in Season 2, and I won every lane, but I lost 60% of my games. "Trust" fixed it for me, and now I win 60% of my games, in all queues, be it ranked or normal or draft or dominion.
Also this addresses one form of complaint I keep hearing all the time, like "booooohoooo, I am the biggest pro player in the world, but I am stuck in Elo/League-Hell because I have soooooo bad luck, poor poor me, if only my team would not suck". This one is for you guys. If you are truly good, and stick to this "guide" word by word, then you will advance. I guarantee this.
Why Psychological aspects are underrated (skip to next paragraph if you already know)
The psychological Aspects of LOL are something that fascinates me a lot, for several reasons.
The thing that fascinates me the most is how underestimated it is. Look around in your real life. It is the same everywhere. You trust people who are nice, or have proven that they are trustworthy. You are less likely to trust people who offend you in any way, or insult you, or yell at you (justified or not). This is a simple concept, and you can find it in every part of your life, be it family, friends, relationship, work, sports, school, or even in public. LOL is no exception. Why should it? This will never change as long as you are around human beings, and that is the case in LOL.
By knowing the "Psychology of LOL", you can manipulate other people (or even yourself) to play better – If they trust you.
Being nice is egoistic
Let me get things straight here.
I am not the guy running around trying to make the world a better place by telling everyone "be nice to your neighbor" and "don't flame this poor guy, he is still learning". I am not spreading love and flowers and make us all a big happy family. In fact, I do not care about most people I meet online in games. I will most likely never meet them again anyway.
I do this because it makes me win, and I share it because I enjoy explaining stuff.
Reading this will not make you a better person, and is not supposed to make you a better person. It is supposed to make you a better player, and nothing else
Being nice/not flaming/making use of psychology/earning trust does not mean that you "give" something to others, no, you "want" something from others, and using psychology (gaining trust in particular) is an extremely efficient way to get what you want. A Means to an end, you could say.
Why is trust so important
"Trust" was the keyword of the last paragraph. Trust leads to teamwork leads to victory. So we want to gather trust. But how does it help me if my toplane Olaf "trusts" me after he died 3 times within the first 10 minutes and fed the enemy Elise?
A lot, actually. First you need to understand one thing: If he was really a bad player who sucks every game and always feeds, he would not be in your game. You are put into a game with players that have somewhat similar win-ratios and skills, there are only rare exceptions, but you face them in one of 50 games or something. There can be other reasons why olaf died.
1. He may simply have had a bad start or a bad game.
We all know that, it happens to the best of us. Some games just do not go our way. Maybe this player is decent, he just messed up a little early, and when the enemy gets kills it just gets harder and harder for him to be successful. This does not mean he is a bad player! It just means that, right now at this moment, he has trouble contributing to the team.
2. He is not bad, but the enemy is simply better.
League of legends is about skills. There is always someone who is better than you, always. Maybe Olaf just plays against a better player than he is, maybe the player is even better than you and would have crushed you as well. This is not Olaf's fault. It is how the game works. One is better than the other one, period. This does mean that Olaf needs to hold back. It is not a problem he can fix within a few seconds. He needs time until teamfights erupt to get back into the game.
Both of these are plausible reasons! And none of them can be solved by telling Olaf that he should "fucking uninstall". And writing in all-chat "report this olaf" will not help him either, neither will it help you winning the game. But what WILL happen if you flame him is that the Olaf starts to care shit about you. He will NOT go around and gank, he will NOT help you when you gank his lane, he will NOT join the teamfights, and he will keep running into that Elise and feed even more because you set him under pressure, Olaf will think "I need to get a kill soon or they will flame me even more".
But if you are like "Don't worry olaf, this is not lost yet. Stay near the tower and farm some items, I will come around and gank as soon as possible", then Olaf has a perspective. You show him that you still have trust (even if you actually do not! It is not important what you feel, it is important what HE feels). You offer him help. You give him constructive advice. This WILL build trust. The chances that he listens to you and does the right thing (stay back, farm, wait for ganks) raises drastically! If he only gets 1-2 deaths less, and 10-20 cs more because of this, it already made a huge difference. The enemy elise will be strong when the laning phase ends, but she will still be under control, and Olaf will be in teamfights instead AFK-Farming in jungle.
This is just one of many examples why trust can change games completely, and that's why you want to gather as much trust as possible, and stop flaming people, no matter how bad they play.
Your Team
What I say now is pretty obvious, but it is important that you recall it (both now to understand the following, and before every game to apply what you will learn)
So, you're in a team.
You want to achieve victory, usually. You do not really care about the others (at least I don't). You are playing a solo queue. That's allright and normal, nothing wrong with it, but being in a team means more than spawning on the same platform.
People in the same team share their game outcome. Always. It's not one winner and four loosers or something. All team wins, or all team looses.
So, in order to win (which is your personal goal) you need to get your team to win. And to get your team to win you (obviously) want them to play as best as they can.
A team can only be as good as the teamwork between them. Imagine 5 single people running into an enemy team one after another. Guess who will win. So, in order to win, you need to build teamwork.
In order to build teamwork, you need make them trust you. You do not need to trust them, but they need to trust you.
This is the hard part. As I told you before, LOL Psychology is the same as real life Psychology, because we are still talking about human beings. Now, to trust someone in real life it usually takes weeks, if not months, sometimes even longer. But in LOL, you have something between 20 and 50 minutes. This doesn't mean it is less important to build trust, but it means that you need to build up trust much more quickly, and this is a challenge.
The short amount of time that you have to evaluate your teammates (and that the teammates have to evaluate you) is a double edged sword. It means that the first few impressions will significantly coin the team's perception of you, as well as it will coin your perception of the team.
Most of the time, the first 10 minutes determine if the team will trust you or not.
How the team perceives you
During Champion Selection
Since every impression counts, let's start at the Selection Screen.
There are many people who are like "uuuuuuh, I am first pick so I pick what the fuck I want and last pick is always support". I am honest, I do not care if you are one of those people or not. If that's your opinion, fine, go ahead, be first pick, take your mid or whatever. BUT it is important that you still leave a good impression while doing so! Remember, you have 10 minutes to leave a good impression and gain trust.
You join the champion selection. You are second pick and want to play mid lane. 4th pick also wants to play mid lane. Noone has written anything in chat yet.
Possible Situations
1 -You call for mid, and say nothing else. The other player calls for mid too. When it is your turn, you pick your mid.
2 - You say that you prefer to play mid. 4th pick also says mid. You answer "sry, I am mid." When it is your turn, you pick your mid.
3 - You say that you prefer to play mid. 4th pick also says mid. You answer "Sorry, but mid is my strongest role. Please let me play it. You won't regret it" When it is your turn, you pick your mid.
All these scenarios have two things in common. A: There is an obvious clash of interests between you and 4th pick. B: In the end, you are picking before him and will get mid anyway if you want. A is inevitable, and B is your desired result. So for you, it is no difference what of the three things you will do. You can pick any, and it will always be the same outcome. BUT for HIM, it is different.
In Situation 1, you simply do what you want, without even taking into consideration what 4th pick says. This can build up an anticipation towards you from 4th pick, since there was obvious need for coordination, but you abused your upper place in pick hierarchy to override him. This will not build trust.
In Situation 2, you let your ally know that you noticed his demand. However, you do not give an argument whatsoever why you are still taking mid. You just say that you will do so. This, again, shows a clear abuse of the pick hierarchy. And this time, he knows that you do it willingly (you heard what he asked for it, but you didn't care because you pick first anyway). So, in fact, this might even be worse than Situation 1, and will definitely not build trust.
In Situation 3, you let your ally know that you have read what it is. By supporting your statement with an argument, and by using the word "please", you imply to him that you have evaluated his demand. In addition, by telling him that he "will not regret" letting you mid, you also give him something in return: let me mid, and I will play good. So, 4th pick is now more likely to have the feeling that his wants matter to you (even if they actually do not), and also feels a little better because he gets something in return for not playing mid. This alone does not always build trust, but it builds the basics for it.
In all the situations, you get what you want, but Situation 3 will build the basics for Trust.
This was a rather elaborated example. I will give you more (shorter) examples of what you can do to gain trust early during champion selection, or to build the basics for trust.
· Suggest, dont dictate
Don't say "pick taric". Say "I like playing with taric, the stun and heal would help me a lot. Can you pick it?". In the end, the other person will pick what he wants anyway, but asking nicely increases the chances that you get what you want.
· Smalltalk
If you come in, and all that you say is "top", your team has trouble to evaluate what kind of person you are, so their perception will neutral or even negative. By smalltalk (if appropriate), you can soften up the tensions and show the team that you are communicative and open. Commenting on the enemy team is always a good start for smalltalk. Tell them what you think about their team, but try to avoid demotivating ("OMG THEIR TEAM TOO STRONK SURR AT 20 MINS" is bad smalltalk. "Their team looks tough, but I think we can win it if we build an early advantage" is good smalltalk).
· Accept the picks
If they pick something extra-ordinary, kindly ask them if they are sure about what they are doing. Maybe ask them kindly to pick "something meta". If they do not, then just accept it. You cannot change it. All you can do is make the best out of it, and that's sometimes a lot more than you expect. I just recently had someone top Miss Fortune in a ranked game, and in another ranked I had AP-Nidalee and Malphite bottom, we won both games. Everything is possible.
During early Game
This is the stage of the game where you have to earn the most trust. If you built a basis for it during the champion selection, it will become a lot easier. It is much like snowballing: As soon as you have reached a certain degree of trust, you can literally do everything you want and your team will follow you like sheep and take your orders. We want to reach that point as soon as possible. You want to establish yourself as a leader or commander.
Depending on your role, communicate with your team what you want or need. Do you want to do double golems? Do you need damage on your blue buff to make it smiteless? Need some cover on red buff? Ask your allies for help, and always use the word "please". If you find that one of your enemies is out of place, don't let them run in there. Ping them back and tell them that 5 enemies are potentially in there.
After minion spawn, things change rapidly. Before, you tried to create a basis for trust using words and communication. Now actions have to follow. As I already mentioned, there are only very few parameters which let you evaluate your teammates. The same counts for you. Try to perform in a manner that is visible for a team. This can be getting kills on your lane, ganking, helping with objectives, but it also means that you should prevent death at any cost. Write "gj" when kills or nice plays happen (the easiest way to increase trust).
The most important thing now is to keep motivation up as soon as something goes wrong. This is where you can try and establish your role as a leader, and gain the most trust early game.
It is 7 minutes into the game. Your warwick dedicates to the jungle because he insists that he cannot gank before level 6. You, as Galio, keep farming your mid lane. Due to an early facecheck your Caitlyn&Leona bottom lane has had a bad start and got very low. After getting zoned for a few minutes the enemy Graves now kills both champions for a double kill including first blood. Leona instantly comes back to lane using teleport, but did not expect that the enemy Graves and the enemy Nunu were still in the brush, and dies a second time instantly. After Caitlyn walked back to her lane, she had to find that the enemy Kha'Zix jungler camped in a brush she was trying to ward, and she dies a second time as well because her flash was still on cooldown from her last escape attempt. Your Top-Lane Jax comments the situation by writing "omg stop feed noobs". Caitlyn answers that it is Warwick's fault for not ganking.
Let us analyze this (pretty realistic) scenario.
If you did nothing, what would happen? Bottom lane is not anymore in Caitlyn's and Leona's favor, and due to the matchup it is not very likely that they will catch up again without help. Caitlyn insulted Warwick, which will mean that Warwick is less likely to come to the bottom lane and help Caitlyn. At the same time, Jax now thinks that Caitlyn and Leona suck, so he will attempt to carry the game by himself rather than relying on his team. Noone trusts anyone anymore.
Now, imagine you would participate. After Leona teleports in and dies, you write "Bottom lane, try to stay a little safer. I will come for a gank soon." Everyone has the fear to be flamed. Being flamed sucks. By giving bottom lane a perspective, you take pressure off them, which builds trust. They messed up, but instead of flaming them (which is what a few people would already have done at this point, 3 kills on enemy ADC in 8 minutes is a lot) you offer them help and constructive criticism. In addition, if you now just think about it: Flaming them now has no point. They know already that they have messed up, why telling them? It's redundant. It is not like the game would take the kills away from graves again if you insult Leona long enough or call her "noob".
Let's take it a step further. Caitlyn still makes the mistake and dies to Kha'Zix. Jax starts flaming.
As soon as a teammate starts flaming, you need to act at once. When an argument erupts, it becomes extremely difficult to get the teammates to build up trust, and we want to build trust. Phrases that work good for calming down people are, for example:
"Shit happens. This is not lost yet. Stay close to the tower and let them push, I am on my way."
Follow up that words with a gank as soon as possible, but do not die during it. Even if it will be an unsuccessful, show them that you actively try to help them.
This has several advantages. First, again, you give them a perspective. Then, you indirectly show the enemy Jax that you do not agree with him. Most people start flaming and expect the others to have the same opinion, but when they see that they are the only one getting upset, while the rest says nothing or "no problem, keep it up", they are much more likely to cease the flame (for now!!!). Additionally, you again took pressure off the Caitlyn, which means she will have less of an urge to justify herself, so she is less likely to blame Warwick.
Congratulations. You wrote 2 or 3 sentences, and the results are:
· Jax will not try to carry the game solo and instead is more likely to stick to the team.
· Bottom lane will stay safe instead of trying to get kills to "redeem themselves" (which would not have worked anyway).
· Warwick and Caitlyn will not build an antipathy towards each other, meaning bottom will get more ganks from Warwick. This increases the chance to turn the lane around.
This is no theory crafting. It is a common scenario, I did that multiple times, and it works pretty reliable.
During mid Game
The later the game gets, the more you have to show actions. Motivation is something very fragile to most people. Your team must see results.
Here is why this entire concept only works if you perform well yourself.
You need to show that you are worth being trusted. In early game, words build a base for that, but you also need to show action. This means: you HAVE to have good stats.
But: Stats mean nothing.
I am dead serious. If you have 10/0/0 stats it means nothing. You can just have been lucky and stolen those 10 kills. At the same time, if you have 0/10/0, doesn't mean you are a bad player either. You could as well just have had a bad game. Or maybe you have 0/10/0, but already got 2 towers, 3 dragons, and stole a baron? Then you probably already contributed more to the team than anyone else. When Stats mean nothing, why do we HAVE to have good stats?
Because stats are visible.
It is that simple. A huge part of the community looks at the stats. This has nothing to do with being stupid or anything. But: it is human to measure things. And when you have a system that gives you numbers, then you want to use this system to measure. And the more visible the numbers are, the more you value them.
"What's that? Our Mid Cassiopeia has 0/3 and the enemy Kassadin has 3/0? What a shitty Cassiopeia we have! Press Tab: What's that? Cassiopeia 250 CS, Kassadin 30 CS? Who cares! The Numbers in the top right corner of the screen are colored, they are green and red and everyone can see them. I can't even see the Cassio's CS unless I press an extra button, so CS must be less important."
You see where I am going? I am not exaggerating, some people think that way, and even if you are Jungler and get your team 3 dragons and steal the enemies every red buff, your team will still say "OMG FEEDER LEE SIN 0/3 REPORT".
So, get your stats up. It is important. Good stats kind of grant you trust passively. If you are the extremely fed 7/1/5 Diana, wrecking every face that is close to you, then even the 0/5/3 Tristana on bottom lane will still see that there is a chance of winning this game, and instead of surrendering or leaving or AFK-Jungling, she will keep trying. Even the worst player will cost the enemy one click (maybe even an ult?) in a teamfight, and that is one click (maybe even an ult!) that won't go on you.
Also, now, If the mid lane Malzahar with 4/2/1 writes "OMG GAME OVER, OUR DARIUS FUCKING FEEDER 1/5 STATS GG SURRENDER AT 20", and then the bottom lane Ezreal with 8/1/4 answers "this ain't over yet. Stay calm, we will crush them in teamfights. Put down a ward, darius, so you can farm top easier", who will Darius trust more? Hint: its Ezreal. This means, by having better stats than flamers, you can counter their negative impact on the game and gain trust at the same time.
As soon as you have earned trust of the people, you can take advantage of it. When you attempt a dragon, for example, call for their help. If they trust you, they will even stop farming and come to you.
Also, when people trust you, you can take their kills (you should not always do that, as all team should be on an equal level gold wise, but you can do it). I personally think that the most important thing is that the enemy dies. If the kill is on the teammate who needs it the most, that is a nice bonus, but it is not essential. I mean, imagine, you got him down to 10 hp and suddenly his flash comes off cooldown, right that second, and then he flashes. Or you expect that your ally gets the kill with the next ability, but the enemy lives with a slither of health, but you cannot catch up anymore because the cast time for the ability threw you back. Or the enemy soraka suddenly uses her ultimate. Or you have to chase 5 seconds longer, and then after killing the enemy more enemies appear and you do not manage to escape because you chased to long. 95% of the games you loose are lost because something happens that you did not expect to happen. Just kill the enemy, and that's it. I personally take all kills in order to secure them, and when I deal 99% of the damage and then Taric takes it I do not care either, a kill is a kill to me. I just want them dead before something unforeseen happens. I know that most people don't share that mindset. But when they trust you (or you even write "sorry, I wanted a secure kill"), then it won't be a problem. They just think "Well, that Kayle has always been nice to me, he didn't flame me when I played bad, he ganked the lane when we needed it, and he has good stats, so if she takes the kill it still sucks for me but it's not so bad overall". But if you would not have done all that stuff (cheering them up in early, being nice and communicative), or if you would have even flamed them, they would think "Yea, sure, first Kayle flames me, then she steals my kills, and after stealing she complains that I have bad stats. Fuck this Kayle, I hate her, I will not help her in fights anymore". That would seal the game for you, as a sure loss.
Excursion - Spotting and dealing with "Toxics"
While writing this, it came to my mind that I should also drop a word about "Toxic People", or "Toxics" for short. Toxics, in general, are the people who make this community an uncomfortable place. By bad language for example, or by unfair play. Now, trolls and other people who destroy games on purpose are, without doubt, Toxics. I go a step further and also count Flamers to Toxics. Tell me what you want, but it is common sense that insulting people and degrading them for poor play is not helping anyone. It prevents the flamed player from playing to his full potential, and since the flamer is busy being all raged up and typing how much the other one sucks, it also prevents himself from playing to his full potential. The only difference is that some Flamers THINK that a game is lost already at a certain point, and that's why they decide "I can flame now, it doesn't change anything, we loose anyway, so I will express my anger and frustration now". This means their toxic acting is more of a reaction based on an observation rather than an intention to destroy a game from scratch.
Among Toxics, Flamers are the only ones you can actually deal with, but they are incredibly hard to spot before they start their actions. I have seen people who said nothing all game, but suddenly burst out in a fuckfest of insults, and I also have seen people who appeared to be really nice guys, and they suddenly started degrading other people's plays heavily.
To prevent that those flamers "break out", I like to do some preemptive calming. When Situations occur that usually cause people to start flaming, I try to mitigate the negative perceptions people have of the situation itself. In other words: I try to make things look not so bad – preemptively. When a lane feeds, I start talking to them and tell them that it is no problem, and that this is not lost yet. Flamers tend to make a big deal of small things. For example, just because one guy in the team is 0/4 doesn't mean you have already lost the game. Also, one red buff that has been taken by the wrong guy (by accident) is not worth a 20 minute discussion whether the Jungler is "too stupid to smite", and while it is annoying it is not very likely to be game-changeing. In any case, it is of utmost importance that you counter-act to flames AND to potential flames as soon as possible.
Phrases that seem to work very well when someone is about to flame are the following (if you also have some phrases that work well, let me know):
Preemtive Phrases:
· "Don't worry , shit happens, it won't cost us the game"
· "This is not lost yet, keep it up and play safe"
· "Try to stay back more and drop a ward, I will help you to get back into the game"
· "Don't loose hope yet. Teamfights will be in our favor. Farm a little, we will crush them later."
· "(name of feeder), need some help? Let them push a little, and we kill (name of enemy laner) together."
Phrases to calm spotted Flamers:
· "(Name of Flamer), don't worry, this is not lost yet. Focus on your lane, I try to gank (name of feeding lane)".
· "Flaming won't make it better. We can't change it anymore. Lets try to make the best out of it, we still can win."
In case this does not help, you can also use the following phrase. It sounds a little aggressive, so be cautious when using it. I found that it works as a last resort sometimes.
· "Does flaming increase your chances of winning this game? No, it does not. Please only do things that increase our win chances. We want to win, and nothing else."
If all of that does not help, all you can do is ignore him, and you should. Press Tab and block him, so you will not get further distracted by what he writes. Keep motivating your team to counteract his destructive attitude.
And even though that guy makes your game much harder, you need him to stick around, or you will not have an edge during teamfight. The cases that are REALLY hopeless occur very rarely (maybe 1 in 20 lost games) if you counteract in a proper way, so everyone stating "OMG I AM IN LEAGUE HELL CUZ TEAM SO MUCH FLAMEZ" either reacts to flaming in a wrong way or does not react at all – Or simply too late.
Flamers are actually like fire. The later you start dealing with it after you see it burning, the harder it gets to extinguish it.
During late Game
This might sound disappointing now, but during lategame your chances are really low to significantly change the amount of trust that you gained. People who trust you now will trust you until the game ends, and people who do not trust you will not change their opinion anymore. What you have to do now is make use of the trust that you have gained.
This is another reason why "trust" only works with skilled players. If everything worked (chances are always that 1-2 people do not trust you or even flame, but you have to hope that they will follow the masses then) you now have established some sort of leader position. However, this will not help much if you do not know what objectives have priority, where to strike next, when to attack, when to defend and so on. Since this is extremely situational, I cannot cover that in this guide (and I do not want to, since it would be kind of off-topic).
Take the trust you have earned, and put it to good use.
Gimme any.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got caught shoplifting like a $5 item, first time shoplifting too, im 17. Lp caught me & I returned the item and she took down my address, name, etc. Said I'll be in the system for 90 days and said I'll recieve a letter being sued by walmart called a "civil demand" where I will have to pay a fine between $100-$1000. No police was involved and I recieved the letter about 2 weeks later, stating I have to pay $250. I don't get paid enough at work for this in such short notice. What should I do? Am I going to be arrested and go to court if I pay? What if I don't pay?
It is highly unlikely you will be arrested and ther civil demand issue has nothing to do with court. There is a law in Illinois which allows for civil action collection when there is a retail theft. Most people choose to ignore the demand. This demand is for money over and above any fine you pay in compliance with a court order. People may get a few more letters, each time asking for more, and then they stop. While the retailer can sue you, it is extremely rare for anyone to actually be sued. You do not owe any money unless you are sued and the retailer wins. This is a common ploy. Do not pay. If you do, you will be in the national retailers database which could affect your ability to get a job and could impact your life in other ways. If you are uncomfortable, hire a lawyer and have the lawyer write a letter. That should be the end of it.
Here is a good article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120347031996578719.html
The National Retail Theft Database is actually a voluntary list put together by different individual retailers. Further, any member that published the information on the list, can thereafter, remove it. Therefore, if you wish to have the entry removed, as you apparently do, your best bet would be to write a letter to the manager of the particular store and inquire as to what it would take for them to remove the entry.
Please go to this link:
The other attorneys have answered your question well. Just don't shoplift and you won't have to worry about this sort of things.Ask a similar question
As a rule, I advise clients to ignore these civil demand letters. Unless you signed some agreement to pay this store, you owe them nothing. In order for you to owe them something they would have to sue you and win. However, It would cost them much more to sue you than they can ever hope to recover so they usually don't pursue it.
With that in mind, I would advise that they can still take legal action against you by filing suit in small claims court. If you ignore these actions, a default judgment will be entered against you. So, although you can ignore the civil demand letter, do not ignore anything that comes from a court.

Related: How to Smooth Rough Soles
1. Exfoliate lips: Swiping your lips with a toothbrush will get rid of rough spots for smooth lipstick application. Use a mix of olive oil and brown sugar to create a quick lip exfoliator for added moisture.
2. Tame flyways: Spritz a toothbrush with hair spray or gel to settle any loose hairs. It's also a great tool to brush your bangs into place without getting product on your face.
3. Ban tan: Erase self-tanner from your hands with a toothbrush. You can use a mixture of baking soda, water, and lemon juice to remove any evidence.
4. Embolden brows: Bigger eyebrows are a trend from the runway. Get the look by using a toothbrush to train unruly brows to stay put. If they are too wild to be tamed, use the brush to apply a setting gel.
5. Splatter paint: Create graffiti-inspired nail art using a toothbrush to splatter polish. Layer multiple different colors to get a Jackson Pollock-esque design.
6. Backcomb bandit: Add volume to any style with a toothbrush. Tease hair at the crown using a toothbrush from mid-strand to roots.
7. Clean sweep: Keep your cuticles in smooth shape by exfoliating with a toothbrush and applying an oil or balm. You can also use this tool to clean underneath the tips.
8. Banish lint: The lint in your brush and comb can be hard to clean. Reach for your toothbrush to wipe away hair and lint in beauty tools such as clippers and hair dryers.
9. Lush lashes: A fan brush works well to separate lashes. Don't have one? A toothbrush will work just as well. Just wiggle it gently from root to tip to get clump-free eyelashes.
10. High life: Touch up roots or dabble in highlights using a toothbrush to apply hair color. The small brush gives you maximum control.

Complex Odontoma Surgery: Indian Doctors Remove 232 Teeth From Boy's Mouth In Mumbai
July 24, 2014 – Complex Odontoma Surgery: Indian Doctors Remove 232 Teeth From Teenager's Mouth In Mumbai
In a 7 hours intense surgical operation, Doctors at a Mumbai-based hospital extracted 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year-old boy.
The teenager identified as Ashik Gavai was brougth into the hospital with a swelling in his right jaw,Dr Sunanda Dhiware, head of Mumbai's JJ Hospital's dental department, told the BBC. The teenager had been suffering for 18 months and travelled to the city from his village after local doctors failed to identify the cause of the problem.
Doctors eventually described his condition as "very rare" and "a world record"and diagnosed it as a complex composite odontoma where a single gum forms lots of teeth.
Dr Dhiware said:
It's a sort of benign tumour. At first, we couldn't cut it out so we had to use the basic chisel and hammer to take it out. Once we opened it, little pearl-like teeth started coming
out, one-by-one. Initially, we were collecting them, they were really like small white pearls. But then we started to get tired. We counted 232 teeth."
The surgery, conducted on Monday, involved two surgeons and two assistants. Ashik now has 28 teeth. Describing Ashik's case as "very rare", Dr Dhiware said she had "not seen anything like this before in my 30-year career", but said she was "thrilled to get such an exciting case".
"According to medical literature available on the condition, it is known to affect the upper jaw and a maximum of 37 teeth have been extracted from the tumour in the past. But in Ashik's case, the tumour was found deep in the lower jaw and it had hundreds of teeth."
Ashik's father Suresh Gavai was quoted by the Mumbai Mirror as saying that his son complained of severe pain a month ago.
"I was worried that it may turn out to be cancer so I brought him to Mumbai," he said.

It was "the paper that shook the world of economics," according to Bloomberg. The paper, written by David Autor, David Dorn and my guest today, Gordon Hanson, introduced the "China trade shock" into the lexicon and gave the narratives of disintegrating American manufacturing and loss of American jobs – whether seen in campaign trail rhetoric, or in books like Hillbilly Elegy – a hard economic edge. So, now that we know that the China Shock happened, that it dramatically cut American employment, that even those who lost jobs went on welfare and those who kept them took permanent pay cuts, the question is: what now?
Gordon Hanson specializes in the economics of international trade, international migration and foreign direct investment. He holds the Pacific Economic Cooperation Chair in International Economic Relations at UC San Diego, and has faculty positions in the Department of Economics and GPS, where he also is director of the Center on Global Transformation. He is the acting dean of the School and is presently a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and co-editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives.
Hanson received his Ph.D. from MIT.

As more people use social media, some small businesses are interested in incorporating tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn into their recruiting strategy. Although these tools can help hiring managers expand their reach, there are pitfalls to avoid when engaging in social media recruiting. Here are five common mistakes managers make:
1. Thinking social media recruiting is risk-free
Job candidates are inviting employers to view their profiles on both mainstream social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Google Plus) and more professionally oriented social networks (e.g., LinkedIn), hoping the information will help hiring managers see a more complete view of the "real person" beyond the resume and cover letter. However, this level of openness can be dicey territory for employers.
Candidates have sued companies because they believe they were rejected for a job based on content posted on their online profile. Still, many employers evaluate these profiles as part of their social media recruiting strategy, and the information they find can influence their decision-making.
Your legal department can provide insight on navigating potential issues in using social media tools and applications in the hiring process. They also can help with establishing clear guidelines for interacting with candidates online.
2. Thinking it can replace traditional interpersonal interaction
This is one of the biggest mistakes of all. Too many companies that decide to use social media recruiting mistakenly see it as a cure-all for their hiring needs. Social media efforts should augment, not replace, traditional one-on-one contact, which includes outreach to potential candidates through in-person networking events, as well as relationships built with reputable recruiters. And there is ample reason why.
The quality of a candidate's interpersonal skills are increasingly important to small businesses – even in non-customer-facing positions such as many accounting and finance jobs – since teamwork and the need to communicate with others throughout the company has risen in importance. As a result, hiring managers need to understand how individuals will mesh with the organization and its corporate culture. These aren't attributes an employer can accurately evaluate on a Facebook or LinkedIn page.
3. Being quick to judge
Managers who judge potential hires too harshly based on what they find about them online run the risk of unintentionally eliminating skilled candidates. They forget that social networking profiles are not resumes. You wouldn't hire someone based solely on the fine prose of a well-written cover letter, so don't reject a candidate just because you raised an eyebrow at the content posted on his or her profile.
Gen Y candidates, for example, who are particularly active in the social media space, are typically comfortable with having their personal and professional lives overlap on the Internet. Hiring managers need to be aware as they engage in social media recruiting that some job seekers may share personal information about themselves online more freely than other professionals.
4. Not recognizing the time commitment
Social networking sites are communities, which means it can take months to build relationships with users – especially if you are a small business. Managers who go in without considering the potential time commitment involved in forming useful relationships using Twitter, Facebook or other social media will meet with an unpleasant reality.
While simply jumping into the social media space is relatively easy, it is not the panacea many hiring managers may think. The most successful hiring strategies depend on a combination of resources that include both high-tech and high-touch approaches.

If or when you watch one of the presidential debates count how many times the candidates say, "the drug companies." Of course, it depends on which party's debate you might be watching, but since I started paying attention to the race in recent weeks, I've taken notice how much those three words seem to be apart of boilerplate answers and statements...
So, it didn't take long after my Genentech blog entry got posted yesterday for me to receive an email and a voicemail from a Genentech spokesperson requesting a "clarification" on my take regarding the latest chapter in the Avastin vs. Lucentis brouhaha. I think I'm being spun.
Most of my PR and professional contacts send Christmas cards, but for the past two years the boutique Wall Street firm, Rodman & Renshaw, has sent me heavy metal piggy banks. I assume the company sends them to its clients as well.
Forest Laboratories said Tuesday quarterly earnings fell 7 percent, hurt by a charge related to a product-licensing deal, and posted revenue that missed Wall Street expectations.

It's a relatively long write-up of someone's wedding and accompanied by pictures from the event. Yesterday, the Times highlighted the ceremony of Andrew Solomon and John Habich (for at least a few years now, The Times has included same-sex partnerships in its "Weddings/Celebrations").
Mergers and acquisitions are headed for another record year, fueled by a seemingly endless cascade of private-equity money. "I can't think of anything that's off limits," says Michael Kelly, managing director at Hamilton Lane. "There are good companies in any industry."
Financials and techs, two groups that pulled in the money last week, will be out in front of the news this week when earnings season is in full swing. Markets will also be watching key economic data, a parade of Fed speakers and whatever side show goes on when oil markets reopen, after last week's near six percent slide in crude.

There are 100 dungeons, 600 enemies and bosses, and 10 different raider tribes. In the DreamCast, Vectorman, & PlayStation versions, each session costs $5, but in the N64 version, they don't due to limitations.

It happens nearly every semester: I get a paper so bad I don't know how to grade it. I'm not talking about a late paper, or one that's been plagiarized, or is too short or off topic. No, I'm referring to a species of essay that checks all of the superficial boxes but is so poorly written, so shoddily done, that it seems to demand a special response.
It's actually hard for students to get a bad grade on a piece of writing in my courses. I do in-class workshops on topic choice, thesis construction, rough drafts, and revision. Students have many opportunities to find out that their essay is on the wrong track, and fix the problem. It's almost impossible for them to leave the writing to the last minute. But there's always one ...
I asked a few colleagues in my department what they do in such situations. A surprising number echoed my usual practice: A 70 is the lowest score we give a paper without some clear infraction.
But one of my colleagues — who shall remain nameless — suggested that a really low grade, particularly on the first major assignment of the semester, can be a wake-up call. A properly bad grade might serve a pedagogical purpose in motivating the student to straighten up and fly right. I wondered: Could giving a D or an F actually be the right thing to do?
Research on extrinsic and intrinsic motivation suggests that we shouldn't expect a bad grade — in and of itself — to be very helpful in motivating students. Extrinsic motivation can actually have a negative effect on intrinsic motivation, so dangling the prospect of a terrible final grade might make a student even less engaged. To the extent that students are motivated to get better grades, they'll do what they think will get them those grades, which won't necessarily align with what you're looking to see (i.e., real evidence of learning). Extrinsic motivation encourages shallow engagement — or "satisficing:" doing just enough to get the desired external reward, and no more.
But as most students do care about grades, I think there's still room to acknowledge that they can be a tool in producing intrinsic motivation.
In an exhaustive review of the literature on formative assessment, two researchers at King's College drew on a number of sources who have documented a phenomenon familiar to many faculty — that is, students' "reluctance to be drawn into a more serious engagement with learning work." Such students, for a variety of reasons, do not primarily aspire to learn as much as possible. Rather, they want to get by with minimal effort, avoiding any disasters along the way. For those students (and it's fair to say my student who wrote a poor essay falls into this category), a properly bad grade might be just such a disaster. A bad grade might be the jolt that lets those students know their current approach is not working.
But if we acknowledge that grades might be able to help in our efforts to motivate students, we also have to understand that we can't rely on grades alone. The King's College study defined successful formative assessment as including two actions: "The first is the perception by the learner of a gap between a desired goal and his or her present state (of knowledge, and/or understanding, and/or skill). The second is the action taken by the learner to close that gap in order to attain the desired goal." So students first need to see there's a gap between what they've achieved and what was expected of them. Then they can devise a plan to close that gap. Instructors have a role in encouraging both of those actions.
Two academics at the University of Auckland, in an analysis of instructor feedback, divided the process into three questions:
- "Where am I going? (What are the goals?)"
- "How am I going? (What progress is being made toward the goal?)"
- "Where to next? (What activities need to be undertaken to make better progress?)."
That approach reminds us that students need to understand, not just their own shortcomings, but what the actual goal is. Too often, we just tell students what they've done wrong, without making sure they understand what "doing right" consists of.
In my situation, giving a D to that sloppy paper would only communicate that my student performed poorly. It wouldn't do anything, on its own, to communicate what the student should have done differently — how his paper could have met my criteria. And a failing grade certainly does nothing on its own to communicate what the student should do differently going forward. If we think of formative assessment as having three components — showing students that their performance isn't good enough, showing what they should have done, and showing what they need to do in the future — a bad grade really only helps with the first one.
Is it possible that a bad grade will jolt students out of complacency, make them investigate a better way to approach their studies, and turn their performance around? Yes. But that's unlikely without further feedback. We need to provide context with a bad grade — specific reasons why the student did poorly and specific tasks to improve.
In the end I decided to give this particular student a D on his paper. It really was a poor effort, and there were a number of C papers in the class that were miles ahead in terms of quality. But I made sure to spend extra time giving feedback about his assignment. I wanted to make sure the student understood what he did wrong, exactly what I was looking to see, and what he missed out on through his superficial approach. I also emphasized concrete ways he could get better results on future assignments, both in terms of process (he needs to more fully engage with the prewriting activities I have students do leading up to their drafts) and in terms of specific aspects of composition (he needs to make sure each paragraph has a point). In the end, I'm hoping that this extra attention will serve — even more than the bad grade — to convince this student that engaging more fully with the course is in his own best interest.

Woman's dog found starved to death and hanging from blinds
23-year-old Aleshia McLaverty has been banned from owning a pet for five years and handed a suspended two months jail term for permitting unnecessary pain or distress to her pet Labrador.
The dog was found in a flat hanging from blinds after it had made a desperate attempt to escape through the window.
Animal welfare officials made the grim discovery at an apartment registered to McLaverty in the Greystone estate in Antrim.
McLaverty outside court
The starved maggot-infested pet was so thirsty it drank a household toilet bowl dry.
She pleaded guilty to charges of permitting unnecessary pain or distress to a dog under her control and being the keeper of a dog without a valid licence.
The post mortem revealed that the Labrador died of dehydration and starvation and it was almost dead when it tried to jump through the window where it ultimately became tangled in the blind.
Click here for scene image of Labrador
Malcolm Irvine, prosecuting told the court that there was no food and the toilet bowl was dry suggesting the dog had drank from it and there were scratch marks on packets of food consistent with the dog trying to find something to eat.
Animal welfare officers received a report from a member of the public about a dead dog at a premises on the Firmount Drive area last April, Mr Irvine told the court.
Upon entering the property the officers were met with a "pungent" smell and a house full of flies with floors covered with dog faeces.
During interviews McLavery initially claimed that it was her sister's dog, but later in court pleaded guilty to the offences.
Defence barrister Aaron Thompson said it was a "tragic case of passive neglect" and that although McLaverty did not have direct control of the dog and the house was "abandoned" and had not been lived in for some time and the dog was trapped in the house when she became pregnant and went to live with her mother.
By her guilty plea he said she accepted she knew the dog was in the house and "effectively did nothing about it".
Suspending a two months jail term for two years, District Judge Alan White said he had to give credit for the guilty plea and her clear record and the fact she has a "new baby" and he ordered her to pay costs of £119.

Make cheap tracings and get away with it. Building your own animation light box saves money and can work just as well as a store-bought one. All it takes are some decent materials and basic construction knowledge. A simple animation light box can be made few materials. Put these items together and you get a decent, useful homemade animation light box.
Things You'll Need
- 4 boards 1x 8 inches in size
- 1 sheet of plywood
- Screws
- Drill
- Hard Acrylic
- Fluorescent light
- Metal pegs
Drill the four corners of the 1-by-8-inch pine boards together to form the box's structure. Use two screws in each corner. Attach a plywood backing on whichever side will be the bottom of the light box. Screw it to the structure. Drill a hole in the back around an inch wide. This will serve as the opening for the electrical cord.
Find a fluorescent light small enough to fit inside the 8-inch length of the light box. Mount the light to the bottom inside the light box. Run screws through the plastic mounting holes in the base of the light.
Cut out a piece of translucent acrylic that is equal to the size of the light box. Punch holes for registration pegs in this. Attach to the top of the light box.

I've wanted a tattoo my entire life. For whatever reason, I could never really wrap my head around what to get or taking the time/money to sit down in a chair and actually get one done.
When I was in my 20's, I really didn't care about tattoo that much. As I entered my 30's, I thought that I had the perfect design in mind. It would be a blend of my over-the-top personality while still telling the story that I had finally gotten what I had wanted for so long in my life. It was something in my mind that was very close to this…
A little silly, I know. But to me it showed that after years and years of trying, Wile E. Coyote FINALLY captured the Road Runner…and screw anybody that was every going to doubt him again. Of course, using the cartoon approach would be my way of still being myself.
As time went on and I separated from my wife, I realized that I hadn't, in fact, captured the Road Runner. I was still the coyote, but I was still using ACME products in an continuing losing effort to get what I wanted out of life. It took me a long time to straighten myself out and focus on all of the good that life has to offer.
Today, as I approach my 45th birthday in a couple of months (ugh), I've decided that now is the time for getting a tattoo. My wife is getting her first one this weekend and she has inspired me to finally do what I always wanted to do but was too afraid to actually do it.
No, I have zero plans to get the Wile E. Coyote cartoon tattoo that I wanted years ago. Instead, I have something in mind that has been with me for a very long time, but only now seems appropriate:
To me, at this point in my life, I honestly feel as though I have broken the chains that have prevented me from finding true happiness…both internally and externally. Let me explain…
I have a good job with a bright future. Without going into much detail, I've finally found a job that is everything I've ever really wanted. It blends a combination of sales, account management, personal and professional growth, spreadsheets, reports, helping others, and the freedom to not be micro-managed on a daily basis. Add to that a decent pay structure and I'm one happy, nerdy camper!
In addition, I have a blended family with five amazing children, three of which I'm having a fantastic time helping to raise. Long time readers already know that I wasn't around in the beginning to help raise Rugrat (who just graduated from high school and is 18 years old now!). We have a good relationship, but I feel as though I missed out on a lot with her. My oldest daughter (Pebbles, who I only met for the first time four years ago) is almost 21 and is definitely her mother's daughter. Thankfully, I'm having a hand in raising the three youngest kids — my 10 year old son (Ankle Biter, who is almost 11) and my two awesome stepdaughters (Lil' Mo – age 12 – and Kiddo – age 14). I never wanted to have children when I was in my 20's, but now I couldn't imagine my life without them in it every single day.
Of course, I have an incredible wife who is everything I could have ever asked for in a partner. She is beautiful and, quite frankly, way out of my league. Because we initially met online, we've been able to focus our relationship on personalities and really getting to know each other. As we approach our fourth wedding anniversary (WOW!!), I realize that we've been together for almost nine years and I don't ever want to be away from her. She's my best friend, my soulmate, and the most incredible woman I've ever met in my life.
SIDE STORY: I never had a girlfriend in high school. Well, I dated a girl for a week once…but that was about it. Seriously. From eighth grade thru twelfth grade, I never had a girlfriend. I had a ton of girl friends, but was always the guy that was in the "friend zone". I didn't hate it, but it certainly made my high school years tough at times. I remember a conversation that I had with a female friend of mine while at a party close to graduation time. She told me that one day I'd find a beautiful woman who would love me for who I was. Little did I realize just how true those words were.
Finally, I feel as though I've made some personal breakthroughs recently that have helped me grow as a person. Without getting into too much detail, I have gotten out from under a thumb that has been on top of me my entire life…even when I didn't realize it was there. I have finally come to realize why I have certain shortcomings and am trying to work my way through them. This new "freedom" has helped me realize that I'm entering the second half of my life with renewed purpose. It's like I'm getting the chance to live life all over again, only this time I just happen to be a bit older than the first time I lived.
So the chains mean a lot to me. I firmly believe that I've broken the chains that have held me back for so long so I can now move forward in life without anything holding me down.
I'm not looking for a massive tattoo or anything; I just want the chains to be on my upper left shoulder on my bicep area. The only question I'm having, though, is what chain photo I should actually get. This is where I need YOUR help.
I've got my top 5 choices for a chain tattoo. Which one should I get??
