Tony's Magic ShowParties Clowns
Chatswood, NSW
Servicing Drummoyne, Pymble, Cammeray and 28 other suburb(s)
This business can travel to you.
Tony was absolutely fantastic! He kept all 37 children and even the adults entertained and amused for our daughter's christening. I will most definately be booking him for future events!
Tony was an amazing magician and party entertainer for our 10 year old twins who were mesmerised by his magic and inspired to make their own under the watchful eye of his rabbit, sparkles. Best decision ever-highly recommend for birthday parties! Kids are still talking about it!
"An absolutely amazing magician. Tony did a spectacular job entertaining 30 children at my daughter Lilly's fifth birthday! They were literally spellbound!
We initially had Tony perform at our daughter's 6th birthday party 3 years ago. We loved him so much that we booked again this year for our son's party. He had all the kids in stitches the whole time and his magic performance was one of a kind!
Brilliant entertainment for a bunch of 6-7 year olds (plus parents, a 4 yo and 10 yo) and zero stress for me. Thanks Tony
Planning a party - get the best entertainment
There are many areas you need to consider when planning a party, and almost every area feeds into the entertainment you choose. The duration of the party needs to allow for set up and set down of entertainment; deciding whether it's an afternoon or morning party – and where it will be held - at home, at a venue or in a park.

Security Blanket
No chance of rain tonight,
No bogeyman, when I turn off the lights.
A phrase I found and adore with the warmth of your security.
You are the reason I attain true maturity.
I love when you lay down next to me,
Like the high tide of the sea,
You move all the warm emotions inside.
My arms are the comfort you use to seek and hide.
Your nestle holds a true rhythm that hums its own song~
Nothing comes close to breaking this precious bond~
A sweet cradle-song only I hear,
You play my grin, without the strings of a puppeteer.
My heartbeat needs its fix and drug,
Your sweet, charming smiles and hug,
Is all I need to succeed,
You are, my only creed!
A kiss, I give on your forehead,
Into a poet's world where your blanket a dulcet lullaby,
my arms are your bed.
"Goodnight Sweet Child, Sweet Child of Mine!"

Too big for his britches, too small for his cap
Just the right size for mama's lap
He keeps me in stitches, the things he will say
"Oh let him stay little", I repeatedly pray
A little firecracker with spunk to spare
He walks in the house and strips down bare
Not a single piece of clothing, not even a sock
Demands to be naked, stubborn as a rock
Bath time is the best if you'r ready for some fun
Not a dry spot on the wall by the time he is done
There is something about that boy that tugs at my heart
An emptiness inside, when we are apart
His little blonde curls and sweet little face
A perfect little person, thanks to God's glory and grace
I love that he needs me and doesn't want me to leave
Lord knows I need him too, more than I need to breathe

Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am sad.
Sometime I sing, sometimes I stammer
Sometimes I dance on the music of my soul, Sometimes I dance on the fingers of
one single person
Sometimes I expect so much from others; sometime I myself can't meet my own
Sometime I make fun of others and feel bad later, sometimes life makes fun of me
and I smile
Sometime I win and sometimes I lose, sometimes I don't even understand whether I
won or lost.
Sometimes I laugh as if whole world is with me,
Sometimes I cry as if I am alone wandering in a strange land
Sometimes I give up so easily
Sometimes I work so hard that no one can stop me to achieve what I want
Sometimes I am dynamic person, who wants to change the world,
And sometimes I am a kid who expects anyone to embrace him tightly.
Sometimes I feel happy about the achievement of my enemy
Sometime I feel dejected with my own success.
Sometimes I help others and show them the right path
Sometimes I feel totally helpless and don't know where to go
Sometimes I ask god to please give my past back
Sometimes I pray to show me the way forward
Life is composed of SOMETIMES and I just flow with that.
U admit or not but you are also sailing on the same boat.
So join me and enjoy it EVERYTIME as SOMETIMES life is very short!

Good morning, sweet angel.
I hope your dreams were sweet.
We have a busy day today,
Lots of new friends to meet.
Good morning, sweet angel.
Open those pretty eyes.
Your smile is as sweet
As ten million apple pies.
Good morning, sweet angel.
The birds are startting to cheep.
It's time to wake up now,
And stop counting sheep.

She's a charming love attraction,
Always dresses fit to thrill,
When she's looking for some action,
She's looking for a heart to steal,
And her charming eyes can mesmerize,
The heart of any man,
While her warming smiles can magnetize,
Them right into her hand,
And she's nobodys fool,
She's sexy sweet and cool,
She can charm any man right into her hand,
Then drop them like a fool
And she gets some satisfaction,
When they say her love is cruel,
And her only shown reaction is,
"I'm nobodys fool!"
She can easily charm the devil,
From the heart of any man,
And her way is having several,
Caught up in her hand,
And she's nobodys fool,
She's sexy, sweet and cool,
She can charm any man right into her hand,
Then drop them like a fool,
And her charming eyes can mesmerize,
The heart of any man,
While her warming smiles can magnetize,
Them right into her hand,
She"s a charming love attraction,
Beaming with sex appeal,
When she"s looking for some action,
She's just looking for the thrill,
And she's nobodys fool,
So sexy, sweet and cool,
She can charm any man right into her hand,
Then drop them like a fool,
She's a charming love attraction,
So sexy, sweet and cool,
And she gets some satisfaction,
Being nobodys fool,
And she's nobodys fool,
She's sexy sweet and cool,
She can charm any man right into her hand,
Then drop them like an fool,

She's up at the break of dawn,
fixing something good to eat,
singing songs and grooving on,
a day of shopping, that can't be beat,
From there to everywhere,
Dolly has time to spare,
Her buying time, is just to find,
a bargain, or a sale somewhere,
Especially when sweet Dolly...
get to dilly dally around,
gets to shop 'n' be boppin',
all over town,
She'll pick it up at spending time,
a bargain she finds downtown,
and sweet Dolly looks so fine...
so good in her brand new gown!
Sweet Dolly...by golly...
looks so good...she'll blow your mind,
Good golly, sweet Dolly...
finds those bargains every time!
Gee golly, sweet Dolly...
loves to shop around,
Sweet Dolly, by golly...
looks so good in her brand new gown.
He is a sun-bronzed god
reigning in my heart,
with his regulation
golf course hair
and sturdy legs,
winning smile, and
eyes that reflect mine
except that his twinkle.
(I always thought we
made up "eyes that twinkle"
until I saw his.)
He stands,indignant and proud,
with all the power his
5 1/2 year old ego can muster;
he is sweet with the affection
only an innocent heart can bestow.
He is my best work.
My son.

Abundant love outpouring like cascading falls
A river ever flowing to the earth's widest ocean
The most rewarding gift ~ a miracle, God's call
An endless adoration, this complete devotion
Warm breath of life brought a sweet angel's kiss
A river ever flowing to the earth's widest ocean
Depths of love, the heart will always replenish
Indelible charm in his eyes, special smiles only for me
Warm breath of life brought a sweet angel's kiss
With a soft lullaby, I rock him on my knee
Sunrise brings a new song, my soul dances with him
Indelible charm in his eyes, special smiles only for me
God has blessed our days, love flooding to time's brim
Curiosity, innocence, and dreams ~ a life unfolding
Sunrise brings a new song, my soul dances with him
The most rewarding gift ~ a miracle, God's call

I'm gonna speak my mind, I'm gonna talk loud.
I want you to come with me, and the rest of your hot crowd.
Excuse-me-ladies, come over, and take a sip.
Please-be-with-me, I'm well equipped in the hips.
I've dreamed of you, since the day I could crawl.
Dropped my jaw, when I saw, y'all, tall, in the hall.
So, sit back, relax, on the bench, I'm the coach.
As I move close, start to make my approach.
When I look in your eyes, I can't explain how I feel.
For real, chill, in your beauty, time sits still.
I would swim the across the seas, just to get one sight.
Of all your beauty, Cutie, and to kiss you goodnight.
Drop, and hop, right over the winning team.
Cause, U without me, is like strawberries, without cream.
Just remember one thing, before my rap quit.
My name is T Rabbit and I'm your number one pick!

"It has to be a girl," she had firmly announced,
My sweet little daughter, always craved for a sister!
So the news of a would-be sibling, did make her glad.
She had jumped and bounced.
"A girl would be perfect, boys are messy,
"I'd play my dolls with her and read princess stories",
Said my daughter, who was all girlie-girlie
She kept things in order, was neat and tidy, even a bit fussy!
She'd shopped for pink blankets, rompers, spoons and forks!
Smart girl that she is, she very well knew
"Babies don't come from hospitals nor gifted from temples
Neither are they dropped by visiting storks!"
She would be there for pregnant momma, a helping hand to lend.
She'd pat the sick mother and soothe her with a touch
Fetch her a glass of water
would not allow her to bend!
"My sis would look like me", so said Sara
Ecstatic she was about the brand new arrival
she promised even her stuff to share!
Found a rhyming name, "I'll call her Aura."
One fine day, mommy gave birth to a son
Hale and hearty, Sweet and chubby.
The family rejoiced but the sister said,
"Its not going to be fun."
"Give him back to the doctor, We won't keep this boy",
She said over the phone and with a frown on her face
She came visiting. Took the baby in her lap,
Saw his Angelic face and was filled with joy.
"He is cuter than any baby in the world can be", said she
Stroking her brother
"His skin is so soft and his fingers so tiny,
Well, we'll take him home, he looks just like me!"

My beautiful boy gently sleeps through the night
dreaming of far off places I'll never see.
Under a hand-knitted blanket soft and white,
I quietly watch him breathing peacefully.
Sweet lullabies tenderly drift through the air
as I kiss his cheek and lightly stroke his hair.
My beautiful boy sleeps in the nightlight glow
while I dream of a man with a smile I know.
My beautiful son with a kind, gentle soul
dreaming of adventures to one day unfold.
You mended my heart where there once was a hole.
I'll shelter you always, you'll never be cold.
Sleep my baby sleep while the stars gaze on you
as you slumber on train sheets in pale, sky blue.
My beautiful son says goodnight to the moon
while I dream of a man who has grown too soon.
*My little darling, Dylan, is "graduating" from preschool next month. He has taken his cap and gown picture, and seeing the pictures, I can't help but think how he is growing up too soon. I cherish every sweet moment. He is a beautiful child.

Oh how sweet thy aging face
That I see fading into grace
I still recall your loves embrace
As soft as silk and wrapped in lace
Your voice still echos in my ears
Wiping out my deepest fears
Sometimes bringing me to tears
This I'll carry through the years
You brought me up through childhood
Teaching me that life is good
Helping me when ever you could
Like leading me through darkened wood
Even when I'd go to play
And sometimes life would go astray
Everytime I'd call, you'd say...
"Don't worry son"...
And it would all just go away
Oh how sweet thy aging face
That I see fading into grace
No-one in this human race
Could ever take your place
Thanks Mom. I miss you.

Had you for just a month,
Only a month.
Wasn't sure if I was,
It was hard for me to believe.
I was happy when I found out,
Glad I had you.
The Lord showed me what you looked like,
Just like your father.
You would've been tall and strong,
Sweet and kind,
Generous and handsome.
You would've been a great person.
I had you for just a month,
Only a month.
You were my little boy.
The best thing I would've never regret having.
Only a month.
That's the longest I've had you.
Turned out to losing you,
From the stress at home.
Only a month,
And now your gone.
Gone to be home.
Home up in the sky.
Mommy and daddy loves you.
You'll always be in our heart.
This was written for my unborn son,
Thomas Michael Bridges.

My boy, my toddler, smiled sweetly at me.
I smiled back at his bubble covered self.
He spied my towel and held up his arms
So I could lift him from his bathtub fun.
Ten toes dried, I then stood him on 'the seat.'
I kept drying until I heard, "Mama?"
His innocent eyes were locked on my own.
"My penis hurts, please kiss it all better."
My eyes went wide, I stood stunned and sorta blurred.
My mouth opened, but failed to form real words.
To distract us both, I made pig-noise-oinks.
Still just duh, I saw a cracked toy had latched,
Then pinched on when I plucked him from his bath.
From blank to alert, I freed a crazed laugh.

The old man lived out by the desert, selling postcards and gasoline,
He sold road-maps and Navajo silver, and True West magazine.
And under his Gabby Hays beard beat the heart of a dashing young man;
With arthritic fingers he cleaned off my windshield…he once was a Dapper Dan.
He said "Take care on the desert, carry plenty water to spare—
And look out for mirages that float like a dream—there's all kinds of dangers out there.
"And you better watch out for that sweet senorita, the travelers all agree…
They call her the Queen of the Mojave Desert…but she once belonged to me,
Yes, she once belonged to me…"
I thought the old man was demented, from too many years in the sun;
But there in his gas station office I noticed a Winchester gun…
And I saw a faded brown photo—a Mexican beauty was she…
Right next to a newspaper clipping…about a murder in 1953…
Then later that night on the desert, my car overheated and died—
And I saw the Queen of the Mojave Desert…with a bullet hole gaping wide!
So I hoofed it on back to the station, 'left my automobile behind…
And that grizzled gas station attendant, he told me one final time—
"You'd better look out for that sweet senorita, the travelers all agree,
They call her the Queen of the Mojave Desert…but she once belonged to me,
She was unfaithful to me…back in 1953…she was unfaithful to me..."

Son Had Been So Sweet
When my son died, it was such a surprise
And many, many teas came to my eyes
How hard I had cried and sad I was
Which is what every loving parent does.
Why would anyone take him from me?
Heaven is a better place where he can be
But still will miss him now that he has gone;
Had discovered he died just after dawn.
Maybe something different I could have done
To take care of and love my dying son
And of all those many things that I did
Were with love and God would not forbid.
He arrived in heaven and was never late
And now for me up there he will wait
At heaven's gate so me he soon can greet;
Here on earth son had been so sweet.

A Visit by the Mother-in-Law
By Elton Camp
My mother-in-law lives in another state
Her annual visits I most intensely hate
For her daughter, I wasn't good enough
So, from the old crone I get lots of guff
"To Mother you better be nicer this time.
She will regret calling you a ball of slime."
Unless wife I obey and welcome the grouch,
Then for two weeks, I'll sleep on the couch
So I did everything that my wife had asked
My welcome of Mom Bea was unsurpassed
I had a vase of flowers waiting in her room
And I was careful as to how dress and groom
I made sure the yard was all mowed and neat
And practiced the best way our guest to greet
Nothing at all must go wrong on this trip
I was determined not to make a single slip
"Come in, Mother Bea, and stay a long while.
Your visits are welcome and make me smile."
But I will admit that it almost made me gag
To have to talk so sweet to that mean old hag
"Son, I am so glad to learn you feel that way.
I feel ashamed and don't know what to say."
I told her that the problems we had had before
I'd see that they never will happen any more
Our four-year-old son from his room came out
To see just what all the friendly talk was about
"Hello there you sweet little dear, Gram is here.
Into this dismal home you do bring such cheer."
Joey then ran over and climbed up into her lap
Around him, Mother Bea her arms did wrap
Our son looked at me and so loudly he calls
"You're right, Dad, she smells like mothballs."

My sweet baby boy,
You're no where in sight
How my heart aches to hold you,
Kiss you good night
Tell you bedtime stories
Plug in a night light
It's not fair
So very unfair
How I lost you
I let you down
Please remember mommy loves you
Hates herself
Can't stand the truth
Mommy doesn't have you
Doesn't even know you
Need to find a way
Back to you
Rage my son
My little baby boy
My head held low
Ashamed of what ~ I've done
It's your birthday
2 years today
April 23rd the day you were born
Held you in my arms
Only to let you go
I can't stand it
Look myself in the mirror
Tears won't stop
Falling from my eyes
Intense unhappiness
Without you
RAGE ~ my son
Sweet baby boy

If anything, please know I tried
I tripped, slipped and fell behind
I came up short, with empty hands
With two left feet, I tried to dance
I never fit inside the lines
The artist had a structured mind
Inside my head, the music played
The world around, I would evade
I imagined that, it went away
To my own beat, my body swayed
But there you stood, a tiny spot
An itty bitty, perfect dot
You longed for that which can't be bought
But mama failed, she forgot
Though it is a selfish thought
Please don't hate me for what I'm not
Each day, I plan
To begin again
A fresh new hand
I dare not bend
A blank page with no scribbles
And hand full of sharpened pencils
As soon as the led on the first pencil snaps
My fingers slip and lose grasp
A perfect package of expectations
Opened a moment too soon
I lose count of my loose ends
My day, now out of tune
I've come to terms with lack of luck
Deciding things just won't look up
I try so hard but for what
Now stubborn and bruised my ego is stuck
I imagine myself going with the flow
Despite my duck's unsightly row
And the fickle nature of that we know
No worries, my darling, mom will show
But now, my love, I finally see
That what I'm striving so hard to be
Is not your mother. It isn't me
It might be the lady down the street
With red lipstick and polished feet
A fictional character, possibly
Someone better, arguably
But perhaps I fulfill a different need
So I'll pass self love down the family tree

My youngest son is twenty two; he stands at six foot three.
I went shopping the other day and saw some soft toys for ninety eight p.
I took one look and picked them up, two of them so sweet and cud-de-ly.
To give to great nieces and nephews, from their favourite great aunty.
My son saw one, "that's sweet" he said "have you bought that for me?"
The soft sweet polar bear now resides by his side, for all on face book to see.

Your son is a liar
He says to someone
You have the longest
Wave in your smile
That's a lie
That's also a sweet lie
To describe a sweet love
Your son is a hustler
He goes in the street
Stole someone's heart
And said
Every kiss
Has a Mother's Day
Your son is ugly
But his beauty
Honors your strength
And your dignity
He says each star is a
Birth mark
That makes you
A life creator
Your son is homeless
He says since your death
He has no place to go
Where can he find
The warmth of your arms
Where can he buys
Some mama's love
Your son has a son
Your love will not perish.

I miss my father everyday,
He is no longer there...
I miss him dearly,
Somedays too hard to bear...
When I envision him at the table,
Or playing his mouth harp,
An instrument on which he was,
Oh so very sharp...
Phantom breezes,
Like memories...
Still flow through cracked windows,
of 100 years ago...
Memories of family gatherings,
No more shall I ever know..
I grow old and frail and wonder,
When will it be my time to go...
Oh, if miracles God could grant,
Based on necessity,
He'd have me No. 1, first on line,
From the need only he and I could see
The last vibrations,
Of his final vocalizations,
Still within my heart,
Will linger until I utter mine,
And at last I, as well, do depart...
One last hurrah,
One last sweet afternoon,
Having a beer on the porch together,
Listning to Glenn Miller,
Or perhaps one of the Dorseys,
Enjoying just being alive together,
Oh, all the things he taught me,
Family love hard as steel,
Now breaks my heart,
You likely know how I feel
Treasured hours on our porch,
Hearing "American Standards Radio"
Or watching the Yankees, or the Mets,
Just about as sweet as life gets...
The need to converse optional,
We've already shared our own secret beliefs,
Our feelings slowly peeling from our souls,
So there, no words need we share,
Just so glad each is there...
Flying amongst the trade winds,
So pregnant with emotion,
A sense of finality,
Of our love and deep devotion...
People who are no more,
In a place no longer there,
Echoes of time,
And words we did once share...
Something is flying about.....

My son is at war, so far from our home
He left this sweet haven to places unknown
Seeing his face in a photo so near
Knowing he'll be gone at least for a year
And the great USA plays games with my head
As I move like a puppet on a string made of lead
Oh how I wish that damn phone would just ring
Hearing that laugh would make my heart sing
Hoping to catch the sound of his voice
Knowing again that this was his choice
To go off and fight in this far away land
Was somehow his destiny and part of the plan
My soldier boy
He left in the chill of a brisk winter day
I remember his tears; time whisked him away
And the hug that I gave him was long and it clung
Oh on that day how the bitter wind stung
I felt I was waging my own war of strife
But the picture was gigantic- larger-than-life
My soldier boy
He wrote me last week and I heard his sweet love
And I thanked once again my God from above
He is safe and he is somehow so remarkably tough
But his words told the truth; he's had quite enough
And I felt a tear cascade down the side of my cheek
As I remembered his time as a child playing hide'n'go seek
My soldier boy
He told me his innocence is gone -that he's seen way too much
And I just longed to hold him and needed his touch
But instead I wrote that I loved him forever
And that his life would someday be hopefully better
I told him to stay safe and ever so strong
And my soul felt a stab as my words moved along
He is always in my mind and deep in my heart
I thanked him again for doing his part
My soldier boy
He's still a young boy who's grown up too fast
With the insight and strength he's had to amass
He's my pride; he's my joy
He's my soldier boy

Good night, sweet angel
And may your dreams be sweet.
I'll tuck you in warm and snug
On your soft flannel sheet.
Good night, sweet angel.
Close your pretty eyes.
Dream dreams of birds and bunnies
Under deep blue skies.
Good night, sweet angel.
Have a peaceful sleep.
We'll meet again tomorrow,
When the birds begin to cheep.
Hola, I saw her today with a smile, so sweet and fresh
like the milk she nourished me. She sat, on the back
porch, weaving her passion, creating a web of caress,
for this young heart---the black and white pic of a duck.
I sat, not far, watching her eager hands with patience
of a saint, as she stitched the last image, of her mind;
sometimes, she threw looks at me, perhaps her conscience
bothered her, for letting me, me alone, pass the time.
'Cos for her, occasional strong wind howls that bother
is her savoring concern, not wanting this young heart
to live and be clothed by its un-gentleness, but rather
be warmed by a mantle of love---her passion, her art.
Hola, I saw her today with a smile, so sweet and fresh
like the milk she nourished me, from her own breasts.

I was born in nineteen sixty nine
just off the block and in my prime
now let me introduce you to
some pertty good friends of mine
Let's start with my uncle Jesse
to me he looks like he's ninety nine
but I love to watch him when he
takes nips from his moonshine
Here's my owners Bo and Luke
cousins of a kind just hanging out
with Daisy who looks
so sweet and so darn fine
But There's some other folks
that just don't like our kind
its those sheriff folks thats
watching the hazzard county line
Starting with their fearless leader Boss Hogg
Who's radioing all the frigging time to
Cooter and Davenport And to that rascal
Rosco P Coltrane who he cannot find
Now my life is such sweet devine
when your jumping in and out of my windows
while running from those sheriffs from Georgia County line
in my general lee waving a confederate flag thats in it's prime
Honking my horn to a dixie tune of same kind

Come, I'll teach you sweet love;
forget how hard words are,
tremble like a dove...
touch my warm hand and believe in me for certain:
my trust is never ending.
Come, I'll teach you sweet love;
don't hang on useless fear,
look back, see how we really loved.
When joy made us smile,
and we passionately touched
without saying a word...
as the bright moon stopped awhile,
when all stars brightened the sky.
But tonight darkness stays,
and we despair; and we
lose our faith in destiny.
Our rainbow of yesterday
won't reappear today
with the Heaven above;
come, I'll teach you sweet love.

Exclusive: hot laps in the new Caterham SP/300.R
Remember the SP/300.R, Caterham's first new car since the 21, which was launched at the Autosport International Show back in January this year?
Well, we've stumbled across this footage of this new track car doing some hot laps at Donnington, so all of us can get an idea of what the lucky 25 owners will be experiencing in the 2012 one-make racing series.
It's not clear who's driving, but the performance certainly seems in-line with Caterham's claims of 60mph acceleration in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 170mph.

Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I recently filed paperwork to try and get custo-wifedy of my son. My ex-wife contacted the same lawyer she used in our divorce to represent her. However, my father is using a different lawyer from the same firm to handle his divorce. Both lawyers are parteners in the firm and are related to each other. Is there a conflict of interest for the same firm to represent my father and ex-wife at the same time
Asked on 5/14/13, 4:02 pm

John Smitten Carey and Leisure
In my opinion this would be a conflict unless you both agree to let this lawyer remain involved.

4 bucket list trips in Quebec
As one of the largest countries in the world in terms of landmass, it's not surprising that Canada's natural landmarks show great diversity. The Maritimes showcase dramatic tectonic activity, the plains of Alberta are as wide as they are fruitful and the Canadian Rockies are as stunning as they are tall. A cross-country road trip from Halifax to Vancouver is sure to show you an incredible selection of the beauty of Canada's physical landscape, but what if you're looking for something more?
If you want a little more life in your sightseeing, Quebec might be the place for you. As Canada's largest and only predominantly French-speaking province, Quebec incorporates an immense amount of unique cultural history into its architecture and landmarks. If you're sick of staring at mountain after mountain, brush up on your "Français," contact your local LASIK MD clinic to see if they can improve your eyesight for the trip and take a jaunt across the St. Lawrence River to check out these four must-see attractions in Quebec.
1. Notre-Dame Basilica – Montreal
One of the cultural aspects that sets Quebec apart from the rest of Canada is its strong religious history. From its founding until today, Quebec has erected monuments to its spiritual past – though none might be more stunning than the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal.
The basilica's website explained that the entire structure took about 35 months to complete. Work began in 1824, and the final ornamentations were added in 1829. When it first opened, the Notre-Dame Basilica was the largest house of worship in North America, though it still boasts impressive figures today – the "Jean-Baptiste" bell in the basilica's belfry weighs more than 11 tons and had to be lifted into place by equipment used to hoist railroad cars.
LASIK might not help you "see the light," but it will make the ornate basilica as clear as possible.
2. Old Quebec – Quebec City
If you seem to have trouble picking the best cultural sites to visit, it might be a good idea to follow what the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has to say about the best spots in Quebec. According to UNESCO, Old Quebec has enough cultural character and significance to warrant being designated as a world heritage treasure.
Once the political epicenter of colonial Canada, Quebec City's historic quarter features such stunning landmarks as the Fortifications of Quebec and the Citadel, two structures built to defend the entrance of the St. Lawrence River into the city. You'll definitely want to get your eyes checked before you go, though – the old world-style architecture of the residential and shopping districts in Old Quebec might fool you into thinking you've traveled back in time.
3. Percé Rock - Percé
Like the rest of Canada, Quebec's beauty isn't limited to the cities. In fact, venturing out into the wilderness often yields amazing views you might not have known about. Be honest – when you think about Canada's greatest natural landmarks, your mind might wander west to the Rockies or east to the Maritimes. But really, it should navigate straight for Percé Rock.
At the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Percé Bay lies one of the largest natural arch formations in the world. While the formation stretches more than 80 meters into the air, the real attraction is the several holes punched through the lower half of the rock. Millions of years of erosion have created these arches that have drawn explorers, artists and tourists to northern Quebec for centuries. If you're looking for a great picture to take home to your friends, go at low tide – the water recedes to such a degree that you can actually approach Percé Rock by foot.
4. Parc Omega – Montebello
So you want to explore Quebec but you're not really into the whole outdoorsy, survivalist thing? You don't need to drive north for half a day to see wildlife and natural beauty – about an hour north of Montreal will lead you to Parc Omega, and – you might think – another world.
Part wildlife preserve, part ski resort, Parc Omega offers visitors the ability to get right alongside some of the animals that have been staples of the Great White North for centuries. A car trail leads straight through areas where visitors can feed animals like fallow deer, ibex and wapitis. Wolves, bears, coyotes and arctic foxes are also all within view, but kept within enclosures for safety's sake. There are also on-foot hiking trails without animals where you can take a quiet stroll among snow-covered pine trees.
If any of these trips sound exciting to you, you might already be thinking about what you need to pack. While you might jump immediately to clothes and a camera, think about laser vision correction as an investment into your trip – the clearer your vision, the more beautiful Quebec's best sites will seem.

While "race" and "ethnicity" have always played fundamental roles in shaping the course of American culture and the definition of who is or who can be an "American," our understanding of these concepts of race and ethnicity has often been less than clear. The purpose of this seminar is to examine how Americans have defined and articulated the concepts of race and ethnicity at various points in our history and how these ideas have been expressed in art, policy, practice, and theory. This course fulfills the Exploring Diversity Initiative because it examines various dynamics of power structures based on race and ethnic politics, as well as class and gender relations.

Leaders in the Minnesota Somali-American community condemned the attacks in a Nairobi, Kenya, shopping mall this weekend.
MPR News' Laura Yuen is looking into the rumors that one or two of the people involved in the mall attack are from Minnesota.
More from MPR News:
On Sunday, a Twitter account purporting to represent the terror group al-Shabab released names of the alleged attackers. It said two of the men were from Minneapolis and St. Paul.
But veteran Somali journalists soon determined the Twitter account was fake. Al-Shabab — or at least an email address claiming to be al-Shabab — released a statement this morning essentially denying that it issued the tweet.
Yuen joins The Daily Circuit to talk about the latest developments.

The new season of "The Apprentice" returns the long-running business competition to its non-celebrity roots.
But there's a difference. The 16 candidates who scramble for Donald Trump's winner-take-all favor display somewhat less swagger than their counterparts from past seasons. They have brains, ability, education - and most had good jobs. Then they were slammed by the economy. Sadder but presumably wiser now, they're vying for a chance to get a fresh start with Trump.
"I hate what I'm seeing and I'm going to do something about it," he declares at the top of the show, airing Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT on NBC.
He knows that for the current crop of players, not just their careers are at stake, but the welfare of their families, too. Even their sense of self-worth.
This make-or-break subtext will be all too relatable to viewers, and it gives "The Apprentice" a dramatic new edge.
"We wanted to find people who seem like they should NEVER be out of work," says Mark Burnett, who created the series and, with Trump, is an executive producer.
He points to Alex, with a background in mechanical engineering, who after getting laid off from his job in Santa Ynez, Calif., struggled to make ends meet driving a tow truck. And Poppy, whose prospective job in breast-cancer research fell through when funding dried up. As the series begins, she is living with her parents and taking care of her grandmother.
"The people on the show decided not to lay down and cry about being in a bad situation, but to fight back," says Burnett.
And "fight" is the operative word. Even on the first episode, tensions run high.
David, in particular, wastes no time butting heads with his own teammates. Understandable. A father of five, he was once a successful telecom account manager. The economic downturn not only cost him his job but also his marriage, he tells Trump: "The ultimate goal is to bring my family back together."
Maybe not, if he doesn't learn to control his temper. Meanwhile, conflict makes for good television.
Performing under pressure is key to many of the shows that have made the 50-year-old, London-born Burnett a TV grandee. His roster currently includes "Survivor" (which begins its 21st edition on Wednesday on CBS), "Shark Tank" (which returns on ABC midseason) and the syndicated "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"
This kind of gamesmanship characterized Burnett's first series, "Eco-Challenge," an adventure race originally airing on MTV in 1995.
Performance in the form of not getting fired before you're even hired is key to "The Apprentice." Premiering in 2004, the show boils down to "a three-month televised job interview, where you're replacing the resume with actual tasks: Either you can do them, or you can't." Anybody can fake a resume, notes Burnett, "but there's no mistake on 'The Apprentice' what you're capable of." And all the while, there's the specter of facing Trump in the boardroom.
"I think they get less sleep on 'The Apprentice' than (the castaways) do on 'Survivor,'" Burnett laughs. "For nine or 10 hours a day on 'Survivor,' it's pitch-black in the jungle." That leaves little else to do but scheme and catch some shuteye. "But on 'The Apprentice' at 2 or 3 in the morning, they're still making photocopies. They get two or three hours of sleep. They're frazzled!"
By some measures, the instant success of "Survivor" a decade ago helped trigger the stampede of reality shows that came after. But Burnett has always preferred the term "unscripted" for what he does, tactfully but firmly separating himself from other reality shows he doesn't bother to itemize. His shows must be family friendly, says Burnett, whose own family life centers on actress Roma Downey ("Touched by an Angel"), whom he wed three years ago.
Ahead in November from Burnett on TLC: "Sarah Palin's Alaska," a sort of travelogue conducted by the state's most famous family.
"I said, 'Hey, Sarah, do you want to do a show about Alaska through your eyes - the eyes of you and your family?'" He describes it as "a really nonpolitical show, a show about Alaskan adventure.
"You will not see me making salacious programming," Burnett says flatly, summing up. "Clearly, there are millions of people who are watching certain shows. But that doesn't mean you have to jump in and make that stuff. It's a personal choice, and it's not for me."
NBC is owned by General Electric.

CARSON, Calif. – Through their first six games of the season, the LA Galaxy eked out just five goals. In the last two games, however, they've scored five more.
The difference?
"Our passing has gotten a lot better," Landon Donovan told MLSsoccer.com, "so we want to make sure that part keeps improving."
Against Portland last weekend, the Galaxy looked like the offensive juggernaut many had predicted of them before the year began. Donovan scored two goals, David Beckham and Juan Pablo Angel each had an assist and newcomer Chad Barrett banged in a cracking goal as well as LA overwhelmed the helpless Timbers, 3-0.
The match before, Barrett and Omar Gonzalez found the back of the net in a 2-1 win at Chicago.
That the team was able to sort through the offensive issues without Donovan and Beckham in that match – Donovan was out injured, while Beckham was suspended because of yellow-card accumulation – shows that what matters most is not who is pulling the strings, but that the strings are being pulled.
Having some confidence helps as well.
"We've been pretty confident in the attacking third and even though early on we weren't scoring goals, we were creating a lot of chances," Galaxy forward/midfielder Mike Magee said. "If we keep that same mind frame in taking chances, being dangerous, not being scared to lose the ball in the final third, we're going to keep scoring goals."
Even though the offense has produced some goals and generated plenty of scoring chances, there is still work to be done.
"It's not perfect," Donovan said. "There were parts of the Portland game that, if we would have been a little more patient and passed the ball, we could have gotten some more chances.
"That part's been really good, our defending has been pretty solid and we're just trying to improve. We're trying to get better each week throughout the year."
Ángel agrees.
"We're doing well," the veteran striker said. "We're getting better, but it's easy to get better when you're winning."
Perhaps, though, the offensive boom is a natural byproduct of a team finally learning how to play with one another. Players such as Ángel, Barrett, Miguel López (two assists the last two matches) and Paolo Cardozo have all played in the last couple of games and are all newcomers to the team – the last two, newcomers to MLS in general.
With slightly more than three months working and playing together, the fruits of those labors are finally coming to fruition.
"You work on things, but until you get guys practicing consistently together, playing a little bit together, you never know how quickly that's going to come about," Donovan said. "The last few weeks it's come about well but we still want to be better and keep getting better."
The Galaxy take on FC Dallas on Sunday at Pizza Hut Park (7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, FOX Sports West, Galavisión, lagalaxy.com/gamedaylive).

A few months ago, I shared a poem about Lindsay,
She was hosting SNL, and boy were we weary.
We watched, we mocked, we doubted,
And she came, she saw, she pouted.
But who would have guessed, she didn't do half bad,
She's on her way up, and still scantily clad.
The move proved a good one, she's back in the biz,
'Cause wouldn'tcha know, they cast her as Liz.
Taylor that is, another tabloid fixture,
Beauty, talent and fame; a scary, deadly mixture.
Which brings me to Britney, who's back on the scene,
X-Factor called and showed her the gr$$n.
She's judging along with a star-studded panel,
But it's Britney who'll keep viewers from changing the channel.
We'll all tune in to see her in action,
To watch her succeed would be true satisfaction.
We're rooting for her, we're all on her side,
We're ready to go, we're along for the ride.
But I can't help thinking, "Oh that poor little girl,"
She looks scared and alone, like she's going to hurl.
Does she really want to do this, to get up on the stage?
Or would she rather retreat and completely disengage.
She could get out of the limelight, just hang with her boys,
Get away from the noise, and all it destroys.
No more stress, no more glory,
No more bloggers writing stories.
Just a life away, with time to crochet,
It'll all be alright, it'll all be okay.
Who am I kidding? I know that's not ideal,
Many people are riding on Ms. Britney's appeal.

Chinese Dissidents Publicly Denounce Communist Party
Protesters in two cities have been openly calling for the end to communist rule in recent days, as the demand for reform in China quickens, and with it a new apparent lack of fear for the consequences.
Yan'an resident Liu Hui stood on the bustling Beijing Road in Guangzhou on Feb. 13 and 14, holding banners that read "End the Dictatorship" and "Eliminate the Party's Enslavement of People." Lui's companion photographed him with the first banner and uploaded the image to the Internet.
On the first day, Liu was taken away by domestic security officers, but later released, an anonymous human rights defender told The Epoch Times. On the second day he was again detained; his whereabouts are currently unknown, and his cell phone off.
Previously, Liu held anti-communist banners outside the annual "two meetings" of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Guangzhou on Jan. 22. They read "Overthrow the Communist Dictatorship, Establish Democracy," and "The Communist Party Are Communist Bandits."
The protest is unusual for the direct way in which it calls for an end to one-Party rule. For over a decade in China, most protest action has been couched in terms of attempting to assist the Party implement its own laws–to a large degree because directly criticizing the regime may be treated as a counterrevolutionary crime (or what has been renamed to "subversion of state power") and severely punished.
The recent shift indicates that the climate of public opinion is shifting against the Communist Party.
In Shanghai, petitioners gather outside the city government building to appeal their rights every Wednesday, but the atmosphere was different on Feb. 20.
A female petitioner began a protest by climbing a tree and shouting the slogan "Overthrow the Communist Party!" which the other petitioners then repeated.
Dozens of policemen arrived in buses, surrounded the tree, and cordoned off the area. However, the woman kept chanting the slogan, and also accused the judiciary of corruption.
Eventually, she was forced to climb down and taken away in a police car. The crowd continued to shout various slogans.
A Shanghai petitioner called Ms. Zhang spoke with The Epoch Times about the incident. She said, "More and more people are losing trust in the CCP, despite the change in government since the 18th National Congress. The Party has no intention of repaying its debt to the Chinese people, regardless of all the blood and tears that have been shed, and is maintaining its power through various methods of deception."
Political commentator Xing Tianxing referred to the case of Yang Jia, a man who was executed in 2008 after killing six Shanghai policemen. Yang received widespread public support, and Shanghai residents at the time publicly chanted slogans like "Overthrow the Communist Party."
"More and more human rights defenders in Shanghai have come to realize that the existence of the Communist Party just means more suffering for the people, and that the fundamental reason for this injustice is the rule of the Party," Xing said.
According to Xing, slogans that used to be forbidden are often heard on the streets in Shanghai and Guangzhou. He summed up the situation by rewording an ancient Chinese phrase: "The Party cannot threaten people with death if they are no longer afraid to die."

MOAB — Two years ago, Utah State Park ranger Brody Young was shot nine times at a popular trailhead just outside of Moab.
"My story is miraculous in many ways," he said. "I should have, by any medical terms, died."
Young was checking a car at the Poison Spider Mesa trailhead on Nov. 19, 2010. Camping isn't allowed in the area, so he told the driver, Lance Leeroy Arellano, about other nearby campsites.
Young grew suspicious when Arellano would not produce identification, and the vehicle had an expired registration. But until the first shot was fired, the incident was still "standard," he said a few months after the shooting.
"I went to check on his history and background," Young said. "It was just the standard contact, and then he turned on me. When I went to head back to my truck, that's when he started shooting."
Young was shot multiple times in the arm, leg and stomach. He shot back at Arellano, and then passed out.
"After I was shot and laying there, what got me back to my truck to call for help was my family," he said, "thinking of my kids."
Young rolled back to his truck after the gunfight, radioed for help and then waited.
"I was so happy when help arrived," he recalled. "You couldn't ask for a better crew of EMTs and doctors than the ones that were working that night."
Two of the rounds were stopped by his Kevlar vest. Six entered his body, two of which have been removed. The ninth bullet was stopped miraculously by something in Young's pocket — a credit card.
When he woke up, Arellano was gone. A massive manhunt began, but Arellano was never found. Many believe he died from injuries after Young shot him and his body is somewhere in those rocks.
"It is really rough, and it's like looking for a needle in a haystack," Grand County Sheriff Steve White said.
It's been two years since the shooting, and Young is working full time again with Utah State Parks helping run the water safety program.
Every now and then, like when his arm goes numb, he's reminded of the incident. He spent five weeks in the hospital and will need checkups the rest of his life, Young said.
"I still have four bullets inside and a bunch of shrapnel," he said.
The bullets are too close to major organs or too deeply embedded to remove surgically, he said last year. One bullet is still buried in his vertebrae, another in the lower lobe of his left lung, another behind his heart near the spine, and the last in his pelvic bone.
"There's also lots of shrapnel in my left arm," Young said.
Gunshot wounds caused damage to Young's heart, small intestine, colon, stomach, right kidney, liver, diaphragm and lung.
"It was basically every organ except for my spleen and bladder," Young said.
He knows how close he came to dying.
"Your body holds four or five units of blood, and I went through 14 to 16 by the time I was put on the helicopter in Moab," Young said.
To this day, he still wonders how he survived the shooting.
"To me, how I make it worthwhile is how I live my life, and so that's living it to the fullest," Young said.
With that in mind, he's helping establish a new trail near Moab. The Fallen Peace Officer Trail will be dedicated in April for Utah officers who died in the line of duty. Originally, it was going to be named after Young.2 comments on this story
"Although I was flattered by the idea, I didn't like it," he said. "In fact, I told them I wasn't dead yet, and trails only get named after dead people in most cases."
Young still has plenty to do and doesn't want to waste any time, he said.
"If it's just to be a father and a husband and a good friend, those are the things that are most important," he said.
The case is still very much open. In fact, detectives with the Grand County Sheriff's Office on occasion will head off into the rocks and canyons to see if there is anything they can find. There is still a $30,000 reward for an arrest and conviction in the shooting.

'Allardyce needs chance to clear name'
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said England boss Sam Allardyce "needs to be allowed to defend himself", following allegations in a newspaper.
A Daily Telegraph investigation says Allardyce, 61, used his role to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offer advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
The former Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham manager also appears to criticise the Football Association, his international predecessor Roy Hodgson and ex-England assistant Gary Neville.
"You have to let Sam Allardyce defend himself and I just hope he will clear his name," said Wenger.
Allardyce is yet to respond to the allegations, and had been meeting with FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn on Tuesday.
Allardyce, who has only been in charge for one game and 67 days, was only named England boss in July, succeeding Roy Hodgson after a disastrous European Championship campaign.
During the meeting with undercover reporters posing as businessmen, it is alleged Allardyce said it was "not a problem" to bypass the rules and he knew of agents who were "doing it all the time".
It is further alleged by the paper that a deal was struck with the England boss worth £400,000 for him to represent the company to Far East investors and to be a keynote speaker at events.
However, Allardyce told the undercover reporters that any arrangement would have to be cleared by the FA.
More to follow.

Broncos RB - Was anyone even able to notice a running game in this one? As was announced in the days leading up to the Thursday night game, Knowshon Moreno started and saw the most carries out the backfield. But Montee Ball saw just one fewer rush as the Broncos turned to him in the second half once they fell into clock-killing mode. Ronnie Hillman was splashed in the early part of the game but ended up a non-factor. We still expect Ball to earn he full-time job by season's end, but for now the gig belongs to Moreno.
Bills RB - This was supposed to be the year of C.J. Spiller with Fred Jackson turning 32 this year and coming off of two knee injuries that ruined his 2012 season. But Jackson saw 13 carries to Spiller's 17 and actually outgained his supposed successor by 26 yards. He also saw five targets to Spiller's six and logged 27 more yards through the air on one fewer catch. It's difficult to imagine the two will see such an even split throughout the year, but if Jackson continues seeing the field even half as much, then Spiller's overall value is sure to take a hit.
Patriots RB - Fantasy owners who drafted Stevan Ridley saw red Sunday when the running back was benched by Bill Belichick after losing a fumble during the second quarter that was returned 74 yards for a touchdown. That opened the door even wider for Shane Vereen, who took full advantage of the opportunity and rushed for 101 yards on 14 carries and caught seven passes for 58 yards. Most expected Vereen's workload to increase this year, but in conjunction with Ridley, not at his expense. The benching probably won't spill over into Thursday's game against the Jets, but if he doesn't do a better job protecting the football, Ridley could be a spectator a lot more often.
Patriots WR - Danny Amendola did his job catching 10 of his 14 targets for 104 yards, but rookie Kenbrell Thompkins, who also saw 14 targets, caught just four passes for 42 yards and was criticized for his failure to keep his footing and his inability to corral passes. Meanwhile, Julian Edelman saw nine targets and caught seven passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns. He was a big red-zone target for Tom Brady in this one and could be one to watch. Thompkins hasn't lost his job, but if this performance was more than just rookie jitters, then he could slip down the depth chart, at least in Brady's eyes.
Bengals RB - As expected, it was BenJarvus Green-Ellis who saw the bulk of the work during Sunday's game against the Bears, as the veteran was handed 14 carries to rookie Giovani Bernard's four. Neither could get anything going on the ground, but Bernard didn't anything to warrant ascension on the depth chart. We expect Bernard to eventually supplant Green-Ellis, but that time is not now.
Dolphins RB - The competition for the lead-back position stayed fairly close throughout the summer, but most expected Lamar Miller to win it outright. However, over the week leading up to Week 1 there was more talk about shared carries and suddenly Daniel Thomas was back on the radar. Miller received 10 carries but was only able to muster three yards while Thomas picked up 14 yards on eight carries and found his way into the endzone on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Given the reports that came in all week, it looks like you can expect a fairly even split in carries, at least until one outshines the other.
Dolphins WR - This was never supposed to even be a position battle, but when Mike Wallace saw just five targets to Brian Hartline's 15 and Brandon Gibson's 10, more than a few eyebrows raised. In fact, Wallace even saw one fewer target than Charles Clay. Granted, Wallace was shadowed by Joe Haden the whole time, but he was visibly upset afterward as he debuted with one catch for 15 yards. If the squeaky wheel gets the grease, then expect an increase in targets when the Fins take on the Colts in Week 2.
Lions RB - It's tough to say this is a depth chart battle, given the numbers for Reggie Bush, but it should be noted that Joique Bell saw the goal-line work, finding the endzone twice, once from a yard out and once from two yards away. Bush still saw more carries and also saw eight targets in the passing game, but Bell should see a boost in value if this trend continues.
Lions WR - Again, not much of a surprise given what transpired in camp, but Nate Burleson lined up opposite Calvin Johnson while Ryan Broyles was inactive. We still expect Broyles to stand out at some point this season, but he obviously has a lot to prove to the coaching staff to get himself back onto the field.
Colts RB - Fear not, Ahmad Bradshaw owners. The split in carries that favored Vick Ballard in this one was only because the Colts want to ease Bradshaw in and get him back into game-shape before dropping the full workload on him. The difference in carries should swing in his favor as early as Week 2 when the Colts play the Dolphins.
Colts WR - Five targets for T.Y. Hilton and four for Darrius Heyward-Bey is how the split went in Week 1. As expected, the Colts are going to utilize both receivers and the two should continue to eat into each other's targets until one beats out the other. Meanwhile, it was Reggie Wayne as the top dog with eight targets on the day.
Jets RB - The split in carries was fairly close between Bilal Powell and Chris Ivory with Powell grabbing just an extra two on the day. The Jets' plan seems to be to get Ivory more work but with a steady increase as opposed to just handing him the full-time job. Powell will remain very much in the mix and is the better pass-catching back as well, so this situation could stay fairly even for a long time unless one has a major breakout performance.
Steelers RB - It looks like an ugly situation just got a little uglier as the Steelers lost LaRod Stephens-Howling to a torn ACL in the season opener. With Le'Veon Bell still sidelined, that bumps up Felix Jones on the depth chart, and he should be used as the change-of-pace back to starter Isaac Redman. If Bell isn't back in the timeframe the Steelers have apparently laid out, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they re-visited talks with Jonathan Dwyer, whom they released last week.
Steelers C - Although center is not a skill position used in fantasy, the loss of Maurkice Pouncey for the season (torn ACL and MCL) puts a huge damper on the Steelers offense as back-up Cody Wallace is nowhere near the force on the line that Pouncey is. Pass protection for Ben Roethlisberger will suffer and the running game, as pathetic as it is, could actually get worse. If you needed another reason to stay away from a Steelers running back, this is it.
Cardinals RB - While Rashard Mendenhall remains the lead back for Arizona, Alfonso Smith played the role of the primary backup, not Ryan Williams. It's hard to say that this was even remotely surprising as Smith is probably the better choice anyway, and there were indicators during the week that Smith had surpassed Williams on the depth chart. Mendenhall owners likely need to change their handcuff.
49ers WR - For all four preseason games, Marlon Moore lined up as the team's No. 2 opposite Anquan Boldin, and that was the plan heading into the final week of practice before Week 1. However, late in the week that changed, and Kyle Williams was announced as the new starter. That was obviously reflected in the targets and playing time as the 49ers hardly went to a three-receiver formation. Consider Williams the new No. 2, but there doesn't seem to be a huge need to grab him given the distribution of targets to Boldin and Vernon Davis.
Giants RB - Looks like someone's got a case of the fumbles. Much like the situation in New England, the Giants changed horse midstream after their starter, David Wilson, lost two fumbles, one of which was on his first carry of the game. Coach Tom Coughlin put Wilson on the bench early in the third quarter and went with Da'Rel Scott the rest of the way, though Scott only saw five carries as the Giants fell into catch-up mode through much of the second half. Wilson is, far and away, the better back, so expect him to get the nod in Week 2, but don't be surprised if you hear that Coughlin went all Friday Night Lights on him and duct-taped a football to his hands on Monday.

Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Nuclear Bomb Testing Turned Our Teeth Into Radioactive Clocks
Bizarre, cool, and kinda scary all at once.
1 comment:
No need to worry about the carbon-14 radioisotope in your enamel. It's commonly used for ADME studies in drug development, and as far as radioactive elements are concerned, relatively harmless.
However, the Strontium-90 released by those same above ground nuke tests.....well, that's a whole different story. As a chemical cousin of Calcium, it accumulates in bones (and probably teeth as well), and has been linked to osteosarcoma and leukemia.
I must say I was not aware that our enamel was made only once. Tooth enamel is, however, not inert material. For while it may not cycle carbon, it can be altered by an ion-exchange type reaction whereby an hydroxide ion is swapped for a flourine ion (flouride), which apparently makes teeth less likely to develop decay.

Important note
Ok so Aatrox is still very new stuff, this is the build i tried on him and it worked so far. Since this is just a sketch i won't go in-depth and won't really bother with making it beutiful.
So please try out and leave your thoughts in the discussion. Depending on the feedback i might write an in-depth guide for Aatrox.
P.S.: Yea i know it's kind of a text block...
P.S.2: C2V turned on becuse of downvoting without a comment...
Pros and Cons
|- Good slow and CC
- AoE threat
- High starting AD
- Strong sustain
- Passive attack speed
- Attack speed and range buff
- Great mobility
|- Skills cost HP
- Needs some CDR
- Unusual skillshots
I just used my standard solo top runes, nothing fancy. I guess the usual alternatives work on him.
|Best early game AD runes, add Aatrox's high starting AD and his scalings, pretty obvious.
|Standard solo top runes, even if you decide to run him jungle these are the stuff for you.
|Again pretty standard solo top/jungle runes. Either these or scaling ones do fine.
|Same as marks, best early game boost and goes well with Aatrox's kit.
Yea i know that Riot recommends 21/9/0 and the few guide i saw so far run 21/9/0 too. My thoughts were why go for 21 in offense, you barely benefit from most of the things to reach
, rather go for higher sustain.
His skill kit lets him do pretty high damage even with lower AD so going for a tanky build is more beneficial in my opinion.
- Optional Summoner's Wrath if you want the little buff from it
- Fury for the extra attack speed to proc Blood Thirst/ Blood Price faster
- Deadliness for more bonus AD which scales as you level
- Weapon Expertise for some armor penetration to increase your damage
- Durability , Veteran's Scars , Juggernaut for all the extra HP
- Hardiness , Resistance , Defender for all the extra armor and MR
- Unyielding , Block , Reinforced Armor and Honor Guard to further reduce damage
- Relentless to decrease slows for better chasing/escaping
Skill sequence
|This passive is insanely strong. As you use your skills, the HP cost goes to the blood well, for every 2% of your blood well bar you gain 1% attack speed, for a total of 50% attack speed. Pretty nice bonus according to how easy it is to fill the blood well bar.
A nice little extra, if you die you restore the HP stored in your blood well over 3 second. During this time you are in stasis and cannot be targeted.
|Very good mobility skill with nice range and not so long CD. In the target area you deal pretty neat damage and knock up everyone in the inner part of the AoE effect. This skill can be used to gank, to initiate a fight or even to escape.
Funny thing that stuns only apply when you land, not interrupting the channeling... which is actually very short.
I prefer maying this over Blood Thirst/ Blood Price becuse they don't really scale by putting more points into it.
|Pretty simple, you heal 20/25/30/35/40 + 25% of your bonus AD every 3rd hit. Pretty much like Xin Zhao except that this scales from AD. When you are below 50% health the healing effect tripples. Use this during farm so you regain the skill costs and the health you lost on harasses.
|This is the Blood Thirst skill trigerred, instead of healing it gives nice extra damage for the cost of health. Can hit pretty hard and it fills the blood well, but it's wise to turn it off somewhere around 50% of your HP, depending on your personal favours.
|Really low cost with short CD and good damage, i recommend maying this 1st. You can use this to keep your blood well full, to farm or to harass your lane opponent from afar or to slow down the one you chase. Overall a very good skill.
Just keep in mind that the AoE gets thinner the further it travels.
|The skill name pretty much says it all... You deal magic damage around yourself (pretty high actually) and buff your attack speed and range by a huge amount. With blood well filled this skill pushes your attack speed to around 1.5 without any attack speed items, with a Blade of the Ruined King or Wit's End you go to around 2.0 attack speed. The extra range granted helps a lot to chase enemies.
The buff duration is 12 seconds (nearly the unlucky 13 meh) and only 70 sec CD on lvl 3, with some CDR items you can use it way too often...
A few combos to chop at the enemy.
General combo, use Blades of Torment to slow down the opponent than jump on him with Dark Flight.
Ganking combo, jump on the opponent and start chopping him, when he starts running use Blades of Torment, this way none of the slow is wasted during the knockup.
Jump into the enemies and pop Massacre as you land to do some neat burst and buff yourself. You can either slow them with Blades of Torment before the initiate or save it for the runners.
|Best boots vs ADCs and AD tops. Also one of the cheapest, nuff said.
|MR and tenacity, choose these if you go vs an AP top or the enemy team has heavy CC.
|Are you fed? Chop them down faster... Choose these if you are fed or there are no real threats.
|Aatrox is pretty much auto attack based, he has nice attack speed even without attack speed items, so this one is pretty obvious. Free ward!!!
|Buy an early Bilgewater Cutlass finish later, great synergy with Blood Well and Blood Thirst/ Blood Price.
|More AD, more AoE threat, more life steal... Not sure but i think {lood price extra damage travels along with the effect.
|Very cheap item with some nice AD and the insane armor penetration. Increases all your damage except Massacre's.
|Nice AD, some HP and lots of armor reduction, i still think this item is damn strong. The CDR is pretty useful too.
|Huge armor bonus along with 500 HP. The passive is simply great for dueling and it's active for chasing or escaping. Great tanky utility item.
|Huge MR, some HP and a great passive which increases you lifesteal and Blood Thirst healing amount. The CDR lets you keep up Blood Well easier and dish out more damage.
|Best HP item with lots of HP regen. Good choice in general becuse of it's cost, however it lacks defenses.
|2nd most HP in a single item, adding some AD. Another good choice in general for tanky champions, however you already have a pretty good AoE slow and CC.
|Nice armor and HP, pretty close to Randuin's Omen actually, for less gold. Has less utility compared to Randuin but still a nice passive, especially for high sustain champs. Though it attracts turret fire.
|Again a nice item in general. Grants nice armor, MR and gives some HP. The passive gives a little armor and MR boost to your teammates. However upgrading into Runic Bulwark is not as cost effective as it used to be, only upgrade if they have heavy AP damage.
|Attack speed and MR, a defensive item that synergyse well with Aatrox. The passive deals 42 magic damage on each hit and since people tend to have lower MR 42 magic damage > 42 AD. Though it doesn't scales your skill damage.
Well you hit like a freaking freight train with Blood Price. You have high sustain with Blood Well and Blood Thirst. Tons of attack speed from Blood Well and Massacre. Great burst and team utility with Dark Flight and Blades of Torment.
Basically you can just go pretty tanky since you have great offensive abilities by default.
Overall a great duelist who brings good utility to teamfights and has enough sustain to survive a teamfights while dealing high damage to the enemy.
Thank you for reading, leave your thoughts in the discussion.

"To invest in something that's popular when it's popular is the kiss of death," says Amit Wadhwaney, manager of the New York--based Third Avenue International Value Fund. Indeed, there's no more reliable way of earning dismal long-term returns than betting on what's hot. Consider some of the many ill-fated outbreaks of investor madness that have gripped Asia in recent decades: the giddiness over Japanese stocks in the late 1980s, the Hong Kong property bubble of the 1990s, euphoria over Chinese red chips in 1996-97 and the mad rise of Thai banking stocks before the carnage of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis....
